union is necessary not only for ukraine, but also for the europeanuse the integration of ukraine into the european union brings not only economic m-m benefit, both for ukraine and for production here, it brings very big big hepatic changes in the entire continent, if indeed it is the most big strategic need today, eh, why the labor continent and the beginning of the negotiations, how to measure the progress of ukraine, how to help ukraine understand, in what places is it necessary to make efforts for reforms, etc. and if you look at our experience, the experience of central europe in the late 90s, when we negotiations started for us, for lithuania, let's say, it took 3 years to finish the negotiations for poland, this country took more than four years , that is, the beginning of negotiations can then give a very good account. according to calculations and the one who is recorded in various documents of the european parliament, such if the negotiations begin this year, it is very real that the negotiations will end , the ratification of the documents

union is necessary not only for ukraine, but also for the europeanation of ukraine , the upper chechen union, brings not only economic benefits, both for ukraine and for production, the main one brings much greater benefits, such as geopolitical changes in the entire european continent, what is really needed is the most important strategic one today, eh. what is the reason for the labor continent and the beginning of the negotiations ? eh, it will be noted that new tools have appeared, eh, how to measure the progress of ukraine. for m-m reforms and if you look at our experience in the experience of central europe in the late 90s , when we started negotiations for lithuania , let's say it took 3 years to finish the negotiations for poland, this country it took more than four years, that is, the beginning of the negotiations, then you can give a very good report. when ukraine can , by the way, be a crappy european film according to our calculations, according to the calculations, and the one who is recorded in various documents of the european parliame

so, ukraine submitted an application for accession to the european union immediately after the full-scalerussian invasion . this application was very quickly supported in june . yes, in ukraine, the status of a candidate for accession and a list of the european commission promises to give an interim assessment of the seven requirements that kyiv must fulfill before starting negotiations, in particular the requirements for judicial reform, already this spring, and the representatives have stated that there is no time frame only the goals, but not only ukrainian european integration, were discussed at the summit in kyiv during the meeting, the leader of the register supported mir zelenskyi's formula, the right of ukraine to occupy all its territories, including crimea, in addition, the eu supported ukraine on the issue of bringing the russian leadership to justice for the crime of aggression, the european union will coordinate the creation and the work of the international center for prosecuting russia for the crime of aggression in asia is still ready to immediately invest a billion euros

and we can decide on the follow up to this integration process for one with ukraine in the european union. these are the 3 main messages on a military support. political diplomatic support and support for you. ukraine's european destiny adjusted by way of conclusion. but i would just say that the european union will maintain its determination to put pressure on the kremlin sanctions are still on the table. the tendency to sanctions package is being discussed. we want to take a consistent and firm approach. we want to ensure that those were guilty of crimes can be held to account for those crimes, including for the crime of aggression. and that is why we have the initiative to collect evidence and proof of so that we can enable international justice to remove even impunity in this respect, we want to ensure that we can also take the appropriate measures for regard to the frozen acid is only fair that is pro frozen russian essence used to rebuild ukraine and to provide fair compensation to listening to what you great present zalinski in addressing that your european counterparts. you refer

ukraine will be a member of the european union. ukrainehen it is winning will be a part of a european union that is winning. james: after standing ovations in the parliaments, a short drive away he was again treated with applause from the leaders of all the eu's 27 nations. when he sat down with them, he laid out specific requirements. >> we need artillery guns, ammunition, modern tanks, long-range missiles, modern aircraft. james: at a news conference, president zelenskyy would not detail the responses he's received to his wish list, but he said the conversations have been constructive. he also stressed that time is critical, with a new russian offensive expected in the coming weeks. james bays, al jazeera, brussels. ♪ mohammed: let's go ahead and bring it our guests in. in cute, serhii shapovalov -- in kyiv, serhii shapovalov. in mussina, italy, daniela irrera, professor at the university of catania. and samuel greene. a warm welcome to you all and thanks for joining us on "inside story." serhii, let me start with you. russia launched a

ukraine is the european union in europe our common home and we will all do for of this glory to ukraine glory to the heroes glory to europe thank you very much for your words dear mr. president of the european council charles dear mrs. president of the european commission dear dear present dear journalists today is the 351st day of this war and today in brussels in honor to the ukrainian people, in honor of our state, ukrainian warriors, our national anthem and words of support for ukraine, for ukraine that is fighting, that will be able to defend its independence, our common european freedom , mr. president charles, i thank you for the invitation to participate in the meeting of the european council, and this is absolutely i think fair that ukraine traditionally participates in the meetings of the leaders of the european union , the ukrainian language is heard in the discussions of the presidents of the heads of governments of the european union , the ukrainian language is heard in the european parliament and this has already been ensured and we will make it part of the usua

will be a member of the european union, ukraine, what is ukraine that is winning , a member of the european union , what is winning , so, pavlo, let's start with the interim results of volodymyr zelenskyi's european tour. this is the completion of the formation of the anti-putin coalition, and a rather powerful and putin-led coalition, so that the main emphases in the policy of this coalition are now being set, the coalition is already it is formed and i see that it will not sweat how you started the conversation today, there are those who want to temporarily jump out of this coalition, when we say that europe is getting rid of the destructive influence of energy carriers or oligarchic influence, we see that so far a part of russian energy carriers, especially on e-e pipeline of oil or gas , it is going. we also see that some leaders of european countries, for example, viktor gorba , even want to exclude russian oligarchs from the sanctions lists, i do not think that urban really hopes that they hurt are excluded, but he wants to show that he is still unique and seemingly in

said, the joint final statement says that the intention to start negotiations on ukraine's accession to the european unionlready this year has been recorded, and this what ukraine was striving for, what ukrainian diplomats were striving for and obviously the political will in the european union is for this, let's listen to the president of ukraine about the association, it is obvious that today 72% of our obligations have been fulfilled, and with the agreement on agreement also today at the summits we presented progress in the implementation of the recommendations of the european commission for the first time in our bilateral document joint statements our intentions to start negotiations on accession and to start them as soon as possible are recorded and we have already started work on the preparation for these negotiations and we are waiting for the relevant decisions of the european commission and the goal of the european council is to start negotiations already this year, and i would say that it is not just a goal - it is the goal of ukraine's childhood in the european union, today they also talked abo

, then the fact that we came here on the 24th - ukraine and the european union itself are in the middle of a war, and yet we we are talking we are building the future of ukraine in the european union listen to this the best evidence is better than a thousand words you should act today but let 's talk about different aspects of energy here 35 million light bulbs is just one example if we take this example that we will go to 15 million chips all over the whole of ukraine, then this will allow us to save as much electricity as is produced by one reactor for nuclear power plants, this is a simple way, we can save energy , we can develop in the field we also discussed various issues such as to support energy security, well, at the moment , generators are important so that electricity continues to flow and we have already secured the supply of half 1,400 generators. we are also involved in the repair of the infrastructure infrastructure so that the power grid worked at the beginning of the war when we quickly synchronized our power grids at first ukraine supplied elect

own eyes this change of paradigm and attitude towards ukraine on the part of european politicians, how has the attitude changed of the european union to ukraine, how has the perception of ukraine changed ? good evening. well, you know, i am not exaggerating if i say that it has changed completely from the beginning. very few european countries objectively believed that ukraine would survive, and this was actually one of the reasons why they did not sacrifice in such cases. they have weapons like now and ammunition because no one expected that the ukrainians would fight so much about it now openly, in particular, high-ranking officials of the eu are talking about it well, now here they admire the resilience and courage of ukrainians about it, in particular in the joint in statements to the anniversary of the war, the leaders of the european union and nato countries mentioned that from doubts in ukraine, the west went this way to the certainty that russia does not intend to win in ukraine, in particular, the german chancellor said today that vladimir putin was defeated in ukraine, and actually to the extent that ukraine fought as it

ukraine. senior officials from the european union have said that ukraine's future is inside the eu. comments were made at a summit in the capital, kyiv, hosted by president volodymyr zelenskyy. there is no mention of a timeline, but the eu has said it will support ukraine and its people against what it calls russia's ongoing war of aggression, for as long as it takes. the president of the european council spoke at a joint news nference earlier. >> the eu will support you in every way we can. we are not interrelated. we will not be intimidated by criminals. because ukraine and the eu, we are family. and the future of ukraine is within the european union. the ukrainian people, you have made a choice of freedom, for democracy. we have also made a clea decision, your future is with us in -- in our common european union, your destiny is our destiny. >> our correspondent, james waterhouse, is in kyiv, getting reaction to the news. he's been the deputy head of the office of the president of ukraine. >> today, a significant european union summit here in kyiv, where there were concrete outco

military and humanitarian aid and financial support but also, the subject of ukraine's potential membership to the european unionthe european council president, the he said let's make this happen. can it happen and when? i am trained by the deputy head of ukraine presidential office and what did you make of the meeting, what do you make of the meeting, what do you make of the meeting, what do you make of it? . we have ukraine summit and the college of european commissions and talking about the relations — commissions and talking about the relations. and we spoke about potential— relations. and we spoke about potential members to the european union _ potential members to the european union which is very important and commendations and european commissions and both presidents acknowledge the great recommendations including the anti—corruption reform, including the media — anti—corruption reform, including the media reform, etc, and early spring _ the media reform, etc, and early spring suggested to us and all of the grounds to count that the negotiations with ukraine will begin this yeah _ negotiations with ukrain

today is also not an exception a-a we asked you the following question when ukraine will become a member of the european unionand because the ukraine nato summit was held in kyiv last week, the summit is very important , professionals say, we will talk about it and today, these are the answers that i offer you today. soon, that is, when it happens, it will take a little time and your option, please vote inside the program, i will summarize the intermediate results, and somewhere at the end of the program, i will already summarize the final results so that you voted and by the way and thank you very much already 62 votes the program just started and already 62 votes and 25% believe that ukraine will become a member of the european union soon 50-6% believe that it will take some time and 19% believe that they have their own option but you can read your own version only after the program ends and it will be published on youtube. well, by the way , 470 people are already watching us, but this is only on a separate channel of the world during the war program. espresso tv channel i would like to introduce my first

as long as it takes, the european union's support for ukraine. this is a few days after putin's criminal and unprovoked war of ukraine. our speakers will be ambassador stavros lambrinidis, ambassador of the european union to the u.s., ambassador oksana markarova ambassador of ukraine to the united states. representing the swedish eu presidency, ingrid ask. that the moderator is ryan hea th of politico. i want to draw the attention to people who are not in this amazing in person audience, to the virtual audience. we have ambassadors in the room from luxembourg, spain, the czech republic, the slovak republic, denmark, the european union. from ukraine, as i mentioned, romania, lithuania, bogue area, croatia -- bold area, croatia. we have representatives from every european union country. so, it's a show of support on this anniversary. it's been one year since russia provoked its invasion of ukraine, a dark chapter in ukraine's national story and europe's history. by launching this major offensive last year, vladimir putin declared his imperial ambiti

european union itself. i will repeat the question will ukraine be in the european union or not and if you have already mentionedabout hungary, which well, constantly let's be frank and put our fingers in the wheels on european initiatives of ukraine, in this case, hungary is very dependent on the european union financially, and this will actually be the maximum motivation for hungary to, when and if the time comes, make the right strategic decision for itself , because otherwise they will to continue let's say to block or play into the hands of the kremlin, then they will simply cause the european union to stop the macrofinance that is set up for the same hungary. and i will remind you that this year even support from funds of the european union of the same hungary is 16 billion euros for small hungary. this is an extremely serious amount. if they freeze or block them, they will simply have huge problems, a huge political crisis, so in fact, what i am leading the tools to convince the same hungary or any other country should not be played into the hands of the kremlin. the same euro bureaucrats nazaré, whom we

forecasts regina sevastyanova the first after february 2022 and ukraine receiving status of a candidate country for joining the european unione eu summit ukraine will be held in the mode of a trilateral meeting of the leader of ukrainians volodymyr zelensky with the presidents of the european council shalom michel and the european commission. ursulay von derein, who especially emphasize this in the media and constantly compete with each other even in the eloquence of expressing public support for kiev and both leaders from brussels, this is already the fourth trip to the country of conflict over the past year, the path of their will for sure, the final communiqué would be more about ukrainian, however, the status of the summit obliges to agree on a declaration with all countries, many of which, including france germany , the netherlands categorically opposed its too big promises, primarily the issues of ukraine's accession to the eu. this is the main issue on the agenda of the summit. kiev is trying to set its own time frame , the prime minister said that ukraine should be in the eu by 2026. we consider still we expect that

summit and the previous one because for the first time and now ukraine will be at this summit as a candidate for e members of the european unione head of the profile committee of the parliament , do you currently assess the progress of ukraine on the way to joining the european union? well, first of all, you and i must be aware that this was an absolutely historic decision and that of the european union was prepared by the european commission supported by the european council when ukraine was granted candidate status in such a short period of time after its application , as we all know, there were seven conditions for all the recommendations that were given to ukraine after how, together with this decision on candidate status and a-a as far as i understand, the government and the parliament, from our side, we prioritized the fulfillment of these tasks in order to move to the next stage as quickly as possible. and the next stage may be the opening of negotiations on membership, and therefore, when er comes here , the college of the european commission is also meeting here the college is like this, like the government and the eu

and today i believe that, first of all, it is necessary to bring ukraine closer to the standards of the european unionwhat does it mean to bring ukraine closer to standards of the european union, this is the rule of law, and when today in the parliament, contrary to the european commission, contrary to the conclusion of the venice commission , we have a draft law that wants to form judges , the composition of judges of the constitutional court is not in accordance with the requirements of the european union, then we will definitely not bring ukraine closer to the eu in this way when we we have the decision of the appellate instance , which suspended i persuaded the mayor of chernihiv, contrary to the law, who was the only one who remained in the defense of the country among high-ranking officials, and he was suspended from management of the city of chernihiv, then this is not the rule of law, if today espresso does not appear on the digital airwaves today, the regulations and the committee, by the votes of the servants of the people and the public administration, make a decision that the statute of th

, namely direct negotiations regarding ukraine's acquisition of membership in the european unionbut it is still worth paying attention to the fact that first in some countries of the european union are wary of giving ukraine a hand in these matters and are convinced that it is necessary to more carefully monitor how ukraine implements the same anti-corruption policy literally before this summit, which is to take place tomorrow and today's meetings. we met vanderlein with the leadership of ukraine. there were high-profile searches, in particular, in igor kinskyi . there were searches in the house of vadim stoler, the developer. schemes and abuse of power, there were also high-profile dismissals in the ministry of defense , kyrylo tymoshenko, the deputy head of the president's office, was dismissed because there were questions about his actions and their transparency. so, this is good with on the one hand, but such a turbo regime may not fully convince european partners of the systematic and seriousness of the intention to fight corruption. and this is one of the key tasks from thi

there's been a lot of talk of ukraine, actually joining the european union. any chance that we can see ukraine on a fast track as the e has promised? that is, of course, a key question here for a president zalinski because i think it was a week ago when he was meeting with the leaders of the institutions in ki, if and stressing how important it is for his people to know that they have a clear european perspective that they will be one day member of the european union . that is something, as he pointed out, that is a huge inspiration for them to defend their country and to defend the european values there on the battlefield. so he certainly hoping to start accession talks at this year a, his countries hoping for a sort of a fast track e membership. but it's a rather unlikely, at least at the moment that he is going to get this commitment from the european leaders here. you officials told me that with regards to accession talks, ukraine has to manage their expectations. that there is a long process that the country house to undergo that there are certain criteri

ukraine with the european union ukraine is complete. mochki win the war and become a member of the eu when eu member states decide to impose sanctions these restrictions must be respected and carried out consistently today ukraine needs weapons more than any other help ukraine will not win the war without weapons and we understand this, but whether all eu members are sufficiently determined to provide military assistance to ukraine, but no one in european capitals considers. this is the real emmanuel macron, who earlier said that decades could pass before the european future of ukraine becomes a reality. even the active support of the ukrainian ambitions of poland and the strange baltics. may play against kiev in the eu, fears are growing that warsaw unite with kiev agricultural superpower within europe and themselves in the position of those who occupy the market. now , many believe that ukraine will be too difficult a time for the overall european budget , representatives of brussels, busy preparing the summit in recent days, have cons

so every 2 years that they've got a union between ukraine and the european union inspires our people and they give a result to the entire us. it gives the result to our society more in order to get us to defend against the, our joint enemy. but of the will, so the next logical step, electrical step before it bonded to towards our historically a union and the membership in the union will be taken with the same inspiration as the candidate purchase. and your clear russia is not getting the key to concentrate. concentrating forces and getting ready to take revenge. not only ukraine, but also against you in the europe and the entire world. and unfortunately, when over the enemy, it's not enough to have victories only in the battlefield. it's important to have the belief europe in a peaceful you about united europe, been in the 5th of our institutions. we need to more to painting dangerous european integration achievement and it will in a pinch so that the each, the cranks of our people on the battlefield and at all levels, are these very difficult for fight? you roll, supported by the en

we are moving closer to the european union. ukraine will be a member of the european union. victorious ukraine will be a member of the victorious european union. amy: zelenskyy's remarks in brussels came during a surprise visits to europe and the u.k. and france wednesday, where president emmanuel macron bestowed the prestigious legion of honor on the ukrainian president. british prime minister rishi sunak confirmed heavy tanks were being sent to the battlefield and pledged to train ukrainian forces on nato-standard jets, indicating the u.k. would likely follow up by providing fighter planes, though they have not approved them yet. meanwhile, in ukraine, russian rces are continuing their advance on the strategic city of bakhmut in eastern donetsk region. and ukrainian officials say shelling is increasing in parts of the kharkiv region, which was recaptured by ukraine in september. in the netherlands, an international team of investigators at the hague said wednesday they've uncovered strong indications that russian president vladimir putin approved the supply of missiles used

european union. your destiny is our destiny. the bbc�*s ukraineis in kyiv, and has been getting reaction from the deputy head of the office of the president. today, a significant european union summit here in tf when there is some concrete outcomes and other pledge of billions of dollars in military and humanitarian aid and financial support and also, the subject of ukraine's potential membership to the european union. i came up during the european union. i came up during the summit in the words of the european council president, let's make this happen. can it happen and when? i'mjoined by the make this happen. can it happen and when? i'm joined by the deputy head of ukraine's presidential office and thank you forjoining us on the bbc news. with each make of the meeting? the war here in kyiv, we have ukraine — the war here in kyiv, we have ukraine summit and the college of coming _ ukraine summit and the college of coming together with the president and talking about the relations. a film and talking about the relations. a right you — and talking

servicemen, but uh, i drew attention to the words of the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, in particular, about the path to the european union, he stated that ukraine has already fulfilled 72% of the association agreement with the european union today, and that it is important, as volodymyr noted zelenskyi in the joint bilateral document that was signed today stated that the intention to start negotiations on accession can already take place this year, this is exactly what ukraine wants to start negotiations on accession and according to the ambitious plans of zelenskyi and his team - this should happen already this year and as we can see, the european union also supports this in the process until february 24. the european union plans to adopt another package of sanctions against the russian federation. this will already be the 10th package with a volume of 10 billion euros, and they want to focus on e technologies, for example, we are talking about the details, as ursula funderlyan said, the details, for example, of the drones that were shot down in ukraine, does russia have access to these technologies, in particular , it

calm and quiet brussels as usual, where there would be no problems, but the whole path of ukraine to the european union is permeated with symbolism, ukraine's efforts to break free from the clutches of the moscow empire, to gain freedom and prosperity at the european level, just as it was symbolic that the ukrainian miners signed this application for eu membership on the fourth day of russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine on february 28. last year , bohdan's life, to what extent is european integration possible for a full-fledged country when part of its territory is in temporary but occupation is a problem but again, we can draw some conclusions from precedents and presidents here, cyprus can be a member of the european union also on may 1, 2004. like poland, a neighbor of ukraine, it became a member of the european union, about 30% of the territory of the island of cyprus is occupied by them occupied by turkey, a country that is not a member of the european union, the eu and cyprus and its allies found a way out of this situation, and the entire territory of the island of cyprus is considered the t

during this year, ukraine in general and about what the european parliament hears at least a-a you hear what ukraine needs and mrs. matsola says that there really is a european unionshould stand with ukraine to the end the fact is that if in essence last but not least, volodymyr zelenskyi just came, as i already mentioned, on a two-day european tour , at least in order to ask for the event and to convince them of the need to provide ukraine with the very fighter jets you mentioned . and here are exactly these fighter jets. of how zelensky had a word about them , ms. metzola mentions in her speech, let's listen, we help in reconstruction, we train your military, we provide military equipment and defense systems that you need for victory. and now countries have to quickly to consider the next step to provide long-range systems and fighter jets that you need to protect the freedom that so many people take for granted after that uh after the applause you already heard uh our viewers heard on the air after that ms. matsola once again assures ukraine is already part of the european family, mr. zelenskyi is heading to the podium where he is to speak before the european p

even because of the fact that uh, institutional ukraine turned out to be stable in order to show that it meets the standards of being in the european unionink this is exactly what has changed . internationalist was with us on a direct video link and he is convinced that ukraine will become a part of the european union sooner or later, but of course we wanted it to be soon, but in ukrainian intelligence they say that russia does not have the resources for a large-scale offensive by the anniversary of the invasion on february 24, and the white house predicts it for the spring, the east of the country is currently the hottest point of hostilities, the enemy wants to break through our defenses in the luhansk and donetsk directions, is shelling the military and civilians, however, we are not successful vladyslav palivoda, this is footage of the village of novoselivsk in luhansk region, ruins fell to the ground after the russians , footage of donetsk region in hell bakhmut vugledar maryinka avdiyivka invaders wipe cities and towns from the face of the earth , they seek to capture them, but they stand steadfast thanks to our military, they push

was also a chance for the east top officials to demonstrate the growing ties between ukraine and the european union. the future of ukraine is within the european union, lucrative people. you have made a clear choice for freedom, for democracy, and hulu, and re you with or so me the clear decision. your future is with us in our common european union. ah, but in spite of all of them, is lensky attempts at these talks to build a faster path into the you that future still look some way off, despite all the smiles and positive rhetoric around the table that know which it timelines. but their goals that you have to reach the forms, for example, to improve a situation in the canada country to then reach at the accession negotiations and the session except itself. also discussed the war with russia and a promise of fresh e sanctions against moscow. focused on trade and technology, but president zalinski wants more immediate help in the form of weapons to hold off a predicted russian search in the next few weeks. so that you're more wiggly cesar collisions where the more long range weapons we have. the bett

two steps to the european union ukraine and the eu we are one family ukraine eu summit under the wail of sirens in kyiv why this week's promises of european politicians weigh more than all their previous statements to whom 100 and to whom 30 why did the government reduce payments to the military and security forces and what will this lead to the calculation formula is explained by the ministry of defense people who were afraid of me jackpot or to communicate not just with the pilot but with the head of the army aviation of the aziz how ukrainian pilots destroy entire enemy squadrons the first interview on ukrainian television with brigadier general maksym samilenko at the secret airbase and the fortress of faith mount athos bless and strengthen our soldiers the great breakthrough of the ukrainian church in the midst of world orthodoxy and foresight athos monks how the war in ukraine will end has been watched for the second week not only in ukraine but also by our allies all over the world , and this is not a war but a blow to the internal enemy , as the authorities call it, a wave of

kiev will be used by them without hesitation getting closer to the european union ukraine that wins willa member of the european union the european union that wins cannot be defeated without fighting, that is , zelensky essentially admitted that berg , who two weeks ago said that the west is fighting against russia, talks that nato should not become eu part of the conflict solely to appease the internal audience. the day before, late in the evening, zelensky flew from london to paris, where a macron scholz was waiting for him for 5 seconds. he even stayed in the role of german chancellor because going out on at a press conference, schultz absent -mindedly missed his flag on the ukrainian table at the moment of castling at the signal of the macron, he said something unintelligible to zelensky. probably, in general, anyway. if so , it's hard to argue with that. today's europe , whether it wants it or not, is the essence of ukraine together with our partners. we support ukraine in the most active way and will continue to support as long as the macron needs it. i agree so much that i even aw

nothing concrete is offered to ukraine, only words, as well as with promises to join the european union, ukraine to do, but it is important to understand that there is no clear timetable. the process of joining the european union will proceed gradually and depends on ukraine's success in reforms. how well the goals that we set on the front are being fulfilled. well, these goals, as they say in the political edition, were lost in the fog of war , a quote, until the ukrainian question is answered. an unequivocal statement is given, and goals followed by decisive action it is difficult to imagine lasting peace in europe, this path carries serious risks for europe and its american patron, but the alternative may no longer be attractive. well, apparently, the states in the ukrainian issue are more interested not in decisions, not in the result, but in the process itself mikhail timofeev’s raspberry hunter andrei zubkevich and alexander gusev ntv television company krymsky bridge today completely opened a car for car traffic in the morning they are free to go in both directions along all lanes to laun

to the european union ukraine , which wins, will be a member of the european union.an talk that if nato should not become part of the conflict, solely to calm the domestic audience the day before late in the evening, zelensky flew from london to paris, where they were waiting for macron schultz for 5 seconds. he even stayed in the role of german chancellor because he was going to a press conference. scattered missed his flag in the ukrainian table at the moment of castling on a signal from the macron, he said something unintelligible to zelensky. it is probably that in general, anyway, if so, then it is difficult to argue with this, whether today's europe wants it or not, the essence of ukraine is together with our partners. we actively support ukraine and will continue to maintain as long as it will be necessary macron. i agree so much that i even awarded zelensky with the order of the legion of honor, which in recent years has become something like the nobel peace prize, awarded in accordance with political expediency. we also want to express our unwavering support

ukraine. he also spoke about how the supports by the european lawmakers and the european union was the motivation for the people of ukraine to continue with their fight to continue defending their territory. but also european values, and he then described her a latimer pollutant and his regime as the most and hi european force in the world. so that was of course is something that said there, lawmakers, we're eager to hear. and i think it was remarkable that the focus of his speech was definitely on the topic of becoming a member of the pure european union of speeding up the process. that is what he and his government are hoping for. they hope for the commitment from the european union and its members said to get a fast track membership, because that is what you queen needs according to vladimir zalinski. and that mr. leslie didn't bring up the issue of a fighter, jasper bay, the president of the parliament did. yes, and that was also very a remarkable. and i think she was the one robert m at saw the president of the european parliament who mentioned a request for fighter jets in her speech. calli

an opportunity to analyze at what stage fulfillment of tasks on the way to joining the european union today is ukraine, which has been a candidate for membership in the european union for more than seven months, as the president of the european commission spoke about today's visit, let's listen further today here not only to discuss further support but also the next steps to bring ukraine even closer to the european union, the fact that we are meeting today here in kyiv is a powerful signal of the great progress you have made and of our mutual obligations. a year ago, no one could have imagined how quickly ukraine may move to the european union, but today you are already a candidate for joining the eu and i know that millions of ukrainians are working hard for this goal. europe will contribute to ukraine's approach to accession until the day when the ukrainian flag is raised where it should be in front of the building. europe will contribute to ukraine's approach before the introduction to the day when the ukrainian flag will be raised where it should be in front of the berlamont building in brussels,

it is the european mmission announcing important new assistance to ukraine. also things like making the roaming zone inside the european union further trade liberalization, but also to show they are serious about preparation for membership. quite so wanted to expand on it a little bit further, as you say, ukraine has been on a corruption purge the last few weeks. we saw a massive raid yesterday. what more can ukraine do to bring the european union to its cause? >> above all, it needs to adopt legislation and then implement this, right? legal standards and economic standards, the single market regulation of the european union has to be adopted into ukrainian law, and not just on paper, but this has to be implemented. that takes a bit of time, so to start as early as possible i think is a very important step. >> do you think ukraine has quite an uphill battle ahead of it if it wants to join the eu? >> well, let's be clear, first, we have to have peace. that means ukraine has to liberate its occupied territories, and we have to help them, but once there is peace, i think we can then talk about a very, very determined road to me
