of the european union. ivanna, in your opinion, to what extent is it realistic for us to fight for our place under the sun here, and why do we have to do it at all considering. or geopolitical situation, taking into account the situation of rampant aggression of the russian federation against us? well, you have quite diplomatically formulated what we have to deal with, we see both objective and very subjective, and even played by various political, internal forces in different countries, processes that relate to this now, well if you want to run a new run wave of farming farming. dissatisfaction, but we hear about intentions to completely block the border in poland, the polish-ukrainian border, we hear about additional intentions, now hungarian ones. farmers to block one of the transitions between ukraine and hungary, that is, you and i have seen the slovak, well, so far patchy demonstrations, and the romanian ones, which means that we are facing a very, very complicated situation, and there are two differe

waiting, at the end of february such a report should be presented by the european commission on the challenges that the european unionust overcome before the new wave. expansion, and here i am convinced that it will be one of those, well, of those directions that they will also demand a revision, and well, such a difficult discussion within the european union and the same with us, it is obvious to you and me, as for people who today are fighting for survival and for us to have a choice, it is obviously quite difficult to perceive some pseudo-rational arguments from our... er colleagues when for us this is the only opportunity to have additional income to our budget, and for us it is an opportunity to provide our security and defense component. and tell me, mrs. ivanna, what can be expected from the summit of joseph balden and olaf scholz, it's february 9 in just a few days. well, i don't know what we can expect and... the result of this summit, but we definitely understand that this is after all the decisions that were made at the level of the european union and actually at the level of germany itself, which doubled

and at the level nato, because the longer it lasts, the weaker the european union will be bothnternally and externally, the less chance there will be that the european union will be able to at least somehow defend itself, at least play some role in the world, so i i really expect that in the coming weeks, maybe months, now, unfortunately, august begins, no... no matter what, it's the holiday period, even if stones will fall from the sky, but european politicians will go on vacation, all offices will be closed, because so accepted in europe, but i really expect that the calls that are already coming from poland, from some baltic countries, will be accumulated in brussels, because i also know that a lot of bureaucrats in the european parliament and in brussels in general are very dissatisfied with orbán's position. and orbán's activities, but this dissatisfaction must be transformed into absolutely clear and tough action, at least the withdrawal of hungary from the presidency of the eu council, prematurely, that it was a clear signal to everyone that such actions are unacceptable

, the european council is the highest body of the european unione head of the european commission, not the italians, no, where everyone is included, they are all included, simply. there are important europeans, and there are less important europeans, what is important there are the germans, the french, the greeks and the poles, well in general, yes, but they also succeeded there, it’s unclear why they, since they weren’t greeks, there were greeks , i don’t know why they included, and so three apu. there were a lot of disagreements, and there is a person who, in fact, well, due to a lot of disagreements, will now actually lead the european party for the second time, and her people’s party, well, no, no, she was elected, that is, they appointed the head states, yes, yes, you are the chosen ones, yes, well, everyone except italy, these except hungary too, the hungarians also said that we are everything zablo, and given that ursula was completely corrupt, she handed out envelopes. well, in this , in this, in this, i don’t know, but the procedure was tr

regarding access in general us as not yet a member. of the european union to the markets of theopean union. mrs. ivanna, in your opinion we really have to fight here for our place under the sun, and why do we even have to do it considering, well , the geopolitical situation, considering the situation of the russian federation's rampant aggression against us. well, you quite diplomatically formulated what we have to deal with, we see both objective and very subjective, and even manipulated by different people. by political internal forces in different countries, the processes that relate to this now, well, if you like, the launch of a new launch of a wave of farming, farming dissatisfaction, but we hear about the intentions of the complete blocking of the border in poland, and the polish-ukrainian border, we hear about the intentions of additional, now hungarian farmers to block one of the transitions between. ukraine and hungary, that is, you and i have seen the slovak ones, well, so far they are patchy, well, the romanian demonstrations, and this means that we are facing a very

of the european union. se he sees this strengthening and increasing the role of right-wing political forces now, and he counts on additional allies in this process, and this is a very difficult challenge for us, as for ukraine. ugh, mrs. ivano, this week, as it became known, the minister of defense of ukraine, rustem umerov, addressed the heads of the military departments of the countries of the european union with an urgent need. for the ukrainian army - shells, this is what is missing. the european union can supply ukraine, ukraine by march only more than 500 thousand artillery shells instead of the promised million, and josep borel, the head of european diplomacy, says this frankly, this is not all of what we were promised. in your opinion, the problem lies in production, that is , purely in the physics of the process, or is there still a certain political component here. remains, and it seems to me that at the moment it is precisely what you call the physics of the process that is such a determining fact

, but we have the opportunities that the countries of the european union have, we have the sameen charter, but this will all pass, we really have to clearly realize that... when we become a member of the european union, we need such negotiations that would not create restrictions on the supply of our products to the european market for another 40 years, well, as some say in poland for 35 years, by the way, this was not an exaggeration, i just heard it , that it will be necessary to limit the supply of agricultural products of ukraine to the european market for 35 years, and why? and because we are two competing countries, it is very similar. the type of economy, both in ukraine and in poland agriculture is very developed, not in all the countries of the european union, it is so developed, and our land has better conditions , better conditions than in poland, in poland , agriculture is developed on a very bad level, well, everyone knows that , this is a christmas thing, wait, what will we get out of this war with, they won’t take away, they won’t take away the black soil from us,

european organization, so if any independent actions are being discussed now, then this is already at the level of the european unionts own system of governing bodies, teams of bodies. yes, the eu has a european policy in the field of security and defense, but it is significant that now, just when the time has come to use all the instruments, they do not remember it at all. europe has completely lost its fighting spirit. europe has built a welfare state and wants to spend resources on social needs, not on defense. of course, almost every european country has a military industry. interest in its development, but none of them has the potential to play the role of a completely independent entity in the international arena. western europeans were never able to fully accept the fact that they had lost the imperial power that they had possessed one and a half to two centuries ago. they think they are still big players, but they are not. economically possible, but not in the classical military sense. it is significant that the theme is uniform european defense. arose not in the soviet or russian context, but mainly in rela

stars of the european union. reaction to the protests of european farmers across the ocean. caustic dutchman, eb bertrams with his own view of the situation. the drawing is called allergy tractors. the image of the european union is unmistakable. another dutchman is maarten woltering, with an alternative approach. saving farmers is the business of the farmers themselves. this is detrimental to the fight to save the climate, and we are only wasting time. swiss. ramses is a recognizable image of the french president macron, the drawing is called angry tractors, a figurative presentation of information. let's continue the theme of france. slovakian marian kamensky does not reduce the intensity of the struggle. farmer protests against the backdrop of paris. on the tank it is written: macron. and she herself is an outcast the woman pushing the tractor is marine lepin. another work by the wicked dutchman ep bertrams. this is about the situation as a whole. say, the drawing is entitled, explosive atmosphere, we would say the situation is heating up, in germany they started saying th

the european central bank. the official unemployment rate in the european union in november twenty-three was 5.9%. amounted to almostare in greece - 165%, italy - about 141%, france - 1120%, spain - 110%, belgium 108% and portugal - 107.5%. the industrial production index has been consistently declining throughout the year, which, in fact, is also evidenced by eurostat data. november of the twenty-third year, this figure fell by 5.8% during this period compared to the same period of the previous year. the largest drop in industrial production was recorded in ireland, -30%, belgium -1.5%, bulgaria - almost -1%. the netherlands -10% and germany, which once played the role of an economic locomotive of the eu, almost 5% (minus 5%) here the united states of america constantly, through controlled media, through its experts, and some discussion platforms, directly say that the world community is primarily of course, the european union has nothing to worry about in terms of its energy and its provision, there is also gas. there are also non-russian naves, take it, buy it, they say in washington, provide for yourself, in sho

this week a summit was held in the european union, negotiations between ukraine and the european unionactually begun, and a large summit of nato states will be held in the near future, where ukraine will also be discussed, our format, not accession, but cooperation further, the introduction will be discussed and. also, and in general, if we are talking about european integration, many people call this day, when the negotiations actually started, historic, in reality, this day is more of a legal date, since the negotiations will last for more than one year, and even ukrainian senior officials they say that it will be at least 200. 29 years, someone is talking about 2030, that is, another 5-6 years, but it is clear that for this we still need to carry out a huge number of reforms, unify ukrainian legislation, in accordance with the legislation of the european union, it is possible to discuss various topics regarding the protection of national producers, and to pass , including those obstacles that are called hungary in our country, yes, hungary also... made 11 demands to ukraine, some de

, then over time the european union will come to what the belgian presidency called for recentlye seventh article of the founding agreement. of the european union regarding the deprivation or suspension of hungary's right to vote within the union? another important event this year, mrs. ivano, somewhere at the end of 2024, the second peace summit should be held in saudi arabia, and andriy yermak and volodymyr zelenskyi are already talking about it. volodymyr zelenskyi says that ukraine is forming teams and...groups that will develop action plans based on the peace formula before the second global peace summit, and yermak says that he is currently preparing for a meeting with representatives of the russian federation. let's listen to what zelensky says. we need real steps, anything that can bring a just and lasting peace closer for ukrainians, and therefore reliable stability for everyone in the world. and it should be... really honest, not pretentious. peace with such an aggressor as moscow cannot be a subject of bargaining. like any other criminal, the kremlin will want more, bu

be there to appease orbán and fico, who are frankly harmful. now in the european union and theytution from the inside, and can we to face an unprecedented decision in the near future, when one or another state was excluded either from the european union or even from nato member states? i think it's actually all kinds of things, they 're possible, but they're very difficult and they take time. i think if we look at this migration situation, it's really... a huge threat to european security in general, because what orbán wants to do, when he relaxes visas for russians and belarusians, it means that they will come , most likely those people who would not get there now until now to the european union, because the european union has imposed severe visa restrictions on russians and belarusians since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, and now, if they lift those restrictions, actually people who... with some kind of security background, that is, people who are there , agents, spies, er, others, other similar professions, they will be able to enter the european union, and of cour

the council of the european union and the presidency of the european council, these are two small, veryn the context it is important, because the european council is a council of presidents, governments and states of the european union, and the council of the european union is a council of ministers, who are engaged in different questions, that is sectors that belong to the european union, so there is that difference, that is , european, the european council is a council that decides the main issues, and the council of the european union is a council that decides issues at the level of ministers and each department, let's say which deals with certain issues, so belgium will deal with its own issues... which are related to the decision of the sectoral, if you can call them that, ministers, but let's not forget that normally the european council is still run by charles michel, who is also a belgian, who belongs to the liberal, i.e. right-wing, party of the european union. mr. zanone, well , we understand what is coming. the shadow of hungarian prime minister viktor orbán over the european

continuation of what we talked about last week, when ursula fondelein stated in the european parliament that the european union's with russia possibly also this week on march 5, presenting the european defense-industrial strategy. the european commissioners stated that russia poses an existential threat to... the european union, and in fact, if earlier the european union relied more on the umbrella of nato, which was supposed to protect it, now, when, in fact, the united states from january 1 2024 removed from providing military aid to ukraine and it is not known what will happen after the elections if donald trump, who has repeatedly threatened to become the us president to stop actively participate in nato and even said that he would not mind if putin attacked one of the nato member states for not paying additional contributions to the unified defense budget, and therefore the european union, realizing all these risks created its own defense and industrial strategy so that all 27 member states plan together which defense procurement to carry out, which defense means to produce and... it is really very importan

the ukrainian center, with us. european politics, candidate of economic sciences. mrs. oleksandra, we are glad to see you. good day. the leaders of the european unionagreed on a new leadership for the next five years of the european community, the european union. what do all these candidacies mean for us, how positive is it for ukraine and the people who ended up there. well, i think the direction that has been agreed at the moment is very positive. news to us, because we see the unquestionable support of mrs. ursula funderleen for ukraine in the conditions of war, in support of our accession, and for us it is extremely positive news that she remains the head of the european commission for the next five years, and we also have an excellent candidate for the european the union is headed by the department that will deal with external relations, kaia kalas, the president of estonia. i want to remind you that estonia is just as a ratio to gdp simply supported ukraine in an unprecedented way, they gave a lot of their resources, as much as they could, to support the armed forces, they also very actively supported our refugees who came to estonia in this

meeting started today in brussels of the european council, and today, president zelenskyi has already signed an agreement with the heads of the institutions of the european unionarles michel and usurlei fonderley, an agreement in the field of security, in addition, security agreements with lithuania and estonia have also been signed, which is... a security agreement with the european union, what does it give to ukraine, is it a signal not only to ukraine, including the russian federation, that ukraine is part of the european space, that ukraine is part of the future euro-atlantic space, or are these clear signals and dots above and for to explain to the whole world that now ukraine will be integrated, sooner or later integrated into europe. union and the north atlantic alliance. well, all those promises about assistance, further assistance to ukraine in the military sphere, in the humanitarian, economic, financial sphere, which were included in this agreement, about these joint security obligations between the european union and ukraine, they say that all this will continue provided. if ukraine continues to demonstrate its progress towards its european future

acceptable from the point of view of our realities, regarding the accession of ukraine. to the european union, well, the first question, the first thing we have to do is to end the war, if the war continues on ukrainian territory, there will simply be negotiations on joining the european union, but there will be no accession, so let's not live again there can be no illusions that we can fight and be members of the eu at the same time on the territory of the eu no war, and joining the eu will in principle be a statement of the fact that, by and large, we have ee... it is unlikely that there will be any real possibility to end the war there very quickly and to end it in such a way that the europeans have no doubts that it will not start again, this is not a question of european, but of euro-atlantic integration, one, two, we will really need to close chapter by chapter in these negotiations, if you have seen all these documents about the accession of other countries to the european union, there is simply a whole list for... the laws that need to be passed, and when the national parliament passe

, the european union puts forward its proposals, each country that is part of of the european union, and it is clear that those countries that are far from ukraine, there are the countries of the iberian peninsula, let's say portugal and spain, they have fewer questions for us than the countries of central europe, on the other hand. are no less politically involved in the russian-ukrainian war, because it is very far from them, and when even our politicians carelessly say that ukraine protects everyone in europe and in nato from the russian federation, it is obvious that the people living in madrid or lisbon, statements act differently than on people who are in warsaw and budapest, but there are economic issues there, we already have ms. olga stefanichna, congratulations ms. olga. greetings vitalya, here is the beginning of accession negotiations, seriously, how do you imagine the process itself, how long should it take in an optimistic and pessimistic perspective, if we remove the military circumstances? well, the very beginning of the negotiations is very important, because this i

well, today a very important four-day event for all of us began in the european union. to the european parliament started there, which have of great importance, during four days from may 6 to 9, citizens of eu member states will elect their representatives to the european parliament. voting is only in the netherlands today, polling stations tomorrow. will open in ireland and the czech republic on june 8 italy, latvia, malta, slovakia will vote, while the rest of the countries will elect their representatives on sunday, june 9. vasyl and i will talk about why it is important for us, what are the forecasts and much more, with dmytro shkurk, ukrinform correspondent in brussels. mr. dmitry, i congratulate you. welcome to the studio. kudos to ukraine, thank you for joining us today. glory to the heroes, let's hope. it will be okay, mr. dmitry, please tell me, come on, let's start by explaining to our viewers who is currently being elected in each individual country of the european union, well, look, representatives of the leading political forces in each country take part in

will even hold a referendum on membership in the european union. ere was no way. what necessity, there was no legal necessity at all, but kemer had the idea that he would hold a referendum, the british would vote against leaving of the european union, farage will be marginalized and it will be possible to move forward with a song. it didn't happen like that, i wondered, and why? and because as soon as this conversation about the european union started, many of the... those conservatives who were somewhere at the bottom, who were considered marginal, who were considered adventurists, here is a prime example, this is boris johnson, they realized that they had passed star time, that if they themselves support the agenda of britain's exit from the european union, they will take a role in the party that they would never have in their lives, and they actually betrayed cameron and the leadership of the conservative party, it turned out in... this is how they thought. boris johnson supported exit from the european union, along with nigel farage and other fi

head of hungary in the council of the european union. ukraine find a common language with the hungarians, who have, well, let's say this, an ultimatum of 11 points that we must fulfill. well, first of all, with regard to hungary's presidency, we understand that the negotiation process is now underway, namely the part of it that concerns our assessment. legislation on the subject of compliance with the european, which will take place and be carried out by the european commission, he neglected. therefore, at this stage, hungary will not be able to use its head. in order to somehow limit our joint work with european institutions and, well, somehow hinder it, using the additional political leverage of its presidency, and that is why it was fundamentally important to hold this first intergovernmental conference during the belgian presidency, and that is why so many efforts were made to make it happen 25 in june, and in no way did it go to july or later, because we understood that we would lose these six months. and hungary is not will make eff

ukraine will become a full member of the european union. say that it will still be a package situation, that ukraine and moldova will go together and at the same time should be accepted into the european union, or can they be separated at some point? you know, moldova and ukraine are not just the two of us, they are knocking on the door of the european union. let's not forget that there are other countries of the balkans, there are also... this is the idea that we cannot forget about the eastern partnership as such, and there is georgia, there is azerbaijan, and armenia, and there is a clear political will that the next wave of expansion should really take place as a package, so who will be in this package depends, and by the way, ukraine insisted on this approach, the so -called merit based approach should be applied, that is, each country should be assessed separately for its successes and... achievements and progress in the fulfillment of commitments and in implementation, including the reform of the law of the european union, and on the

ukraine will be able to join of the european union. will definitely happen, but it won't be a quick process. so, in the short term, budapest has no way to put pressure on ukraine. but the blocking of the european peace fund, the blocking of €6.5 billion, is certainly one way, it will continue. blocking the 6.5 is certainly one of them. this is going to go. you have already started talking about mutual relations between hungary and the european union. let's talk about them too. so, the president of the european councilor charles michel called viktor's trip a political mistake orban not only to moscow, but also to beijing and washington. he also stated that the european union reacted to this with a yellow card. does brussels have the power to finally show viktor orbán a red card. it is necessary to define what a red card is. to stick to the football metaphor, a red card means that the player must leave the field. it's not going to happen, nobody can be kicked out of the european union, so unlike football here he can have a few yellow car

the main thing is that these elections to the european parliament are now causing quite high public interest in practically all the countries of the european unionnditions where, let's say, the foreign policy circumstances have significantly worsened, european citizens feel that... it is the european union and the european institutions that are important, such as, for example, the european parliament, capable, well, first of all, to protect their interests, and secondly, to ensure... the influence of europe in solving some global affairs, but at the same time it is worth noting that, for example, the rise in popularity of right-wing forces is, in particular, connected with a certain regionalization, let's say, of the interests of europeans, when they, of course, remember international problems, but at the same time for them social issues, issues of their everyday... life, for example, those related to migration processes, migration crises, they are very significant and affect their pre-election mood, thus the representation is very broad, we remember that recently, for example, the president of the european council charles also intended to parti

. proposed for the post of high representative of the european unione president of the european council, the ex-prime minister of portugal antonio costa was elected, and ursula funderlajen is taking up the post leadership in her speech after the approval of the european commission for the second term , ursula fondeen thanked the leaders of the eu countries for their support and declared her readiness to present her program to the european parliament. let's hear what ursula funderlay said. i would just like to express my gratitude to the leaders who supported my candidacy for a second term as president of the european commission. it is a great honor for me and i am happy to share this very special moment. with antoni košta, the next president of the european council, and with my dear friend, kaya kalas, who is nominated for the position of high representative of the eu in the next composition of the european commission. for me, this means that i will seek to get the european parliament's decision on my appointment after presenting my political guideline

union. at the beginning of 2024, the european union passed a law that required platforms to report the number of users to announce at that time, telegram announced that it has only 41 million users in 27 european union countries. the european union is investigating the number of telegram users. the spokesperson of the european union says: they found out with their system and calculations. telegram has more than 45 million users, and in order not to be subject to the digital services law or dsa, it has announced less statistics. the world's biggest digital companies have nowhere to hide as new laws come into effect to scare the tech giants. according to the digital services act , or dsa, which the european union controls cyberspace has approved platforms that have more than 45 million users in the european union are required to be accountable and transparent. platforms are required to implement the digital services act rather than internet-to -place. it should become clearer and better. the european union has set the digital services law in 102 pages so that platforms can limit the content tha

, who will be inside the european union leadership positions, let's see, germany, germany, france, can the alliance other countries, but in general the european union realized that it is necessary to maintain solidarity and to help ukraine. in the united states , we see that they are guided by the decisions made in the european union, we see delegations from europe who came from britain and europeans who come to the united states and say that this is a defining historical moment, and we must support ukraine, and i i see that... sometimes they are leaning towards the fact that aid will be provided to ukraine after all, because they have signed the budget, there are already such signals, well, i am watching, at least signals that republicans and democrats have agreed, for example, there will be no shutdown on the budget, and this will allow the government to work rhythmically and give time for negotiations, inter-party negotiations regarding the ukrainian, israeli, taiwanese issue, let's say, and the politics of migration pol

ukraine has officially started negotiations. on accession to the european union. a complex process of several years is ahead. will ukrainians take part in the next elections to the european parliament? double standards of the kremlin. the criminal russian authorities blame the victim of their aggression for retaliating. how putin took hostages of all civilian residents of the occupied crimea. general. rodol in opal. the dismissal of the commander of the united forces of the armed forces of ukraine was preceded by a scandal with accusations of incompetence and loss of territories. what other changes in the military leadership does mp bezugla foretell. congratulations to all viewers of the espresso tv channel. this is the verdict program. today without... serhii rudenko, i will be in his place, and serhii will be back in the near future and will host the following programs with you. today, we will traditionally talk with you about the events of the day, about the most important event, probably from the point of view of the history of an independent country, about wha

is taking the lead, the european unionow objectively the first in terms of aid to ukraine in the world, if we take the european union as a whole, so i think let's, we haven't had a lot of upbeat news like that lately, let's take it from that angle. very optimistic news, especially since all these loans, grants, or technical assistance will undergo eu control procedures in the process of european integration, it is also there is hope that they will use these funds and all these efforts will go in the right direction. mr. chala, in our broadcasts and also in others that i watched with your participation, you talked about the fact that this is the possibility... that russia will attack nato countries this year, maybe next , it is very high, and do you think that this decision of europe, so positive for us financially, will cause these threats, in particular? well, i would say, the reasons were in washington, european leaders understood that not everything can be expected from america. and they began to invest more actively in

from my point of view, no option for ukraine to join the european union is viable, simply too much soere are many reasons that guarantee that this will not happen, the first reason is the economic discrepancy of ukraine, the requirements of the european union, this again a conflict that has been going on on the territory of ukraine for, well, one might say 10 years, in which ukraine is actually involved, and economically, again, the european union simply cannot digest the entry of such deficit economies, that is, those economies that should receive support. we actually see that the european economy, the eurozone economy, is plunging into an economic and financial crisis, we have already seen this through the bankruptcy of banks, through the insolvency of the financial system, that is, well, again, economic ones the event, yes, which is being discussed about ukraine joining the european union, is absolutely impossible, yes, it will simply plunge the european economy into chaos. 10 people became candidates for delegates to the supreme people's assembly from the minsk regional organizati

portnikov, maria holub, an expert on integration and... external relations between ukraine and the european union, she is broadcast from brussels. congratulations, ms. maria. good evening so, the negotiations on joining the european union with ukraine and moldova are starting, as far as i understand, this is such a package process that has already started, what will it look like? it is quite dynamic and quite interesting from the point of view of both procedure and political processes. course. indeed, ukraine and moldova went hand-in-hand from the beginning, and this was very visible from the way the preparations for the intergovernmental conferences, which will be held on june 25 in luxembourg and will actually launch the negotiation process, both for moldova and for ukraine, lasted, this was conveyed by several the requirements that the european commission set for both ukraine and moldova, we were very dynamic... talk in particular with hungary, so now we and moldova have received the green light, these intergovernmental conferences will be held on the 25th, and we can say that we we are openin

, and i know that the current presidency in the european union, the belgian presidency is very actively working on this, and leads. dialogue with the member states of the european union, i very much hope that we will be able to do it before 1 july of this year, why until july 1 of this year, because we hear from our, from our colleagues from hungary, that this will not be a priority for them, that this country will preside over the next six months, and unfortunately, uh, they , you and i understand that the prospects. about promotion and about such a decision during their chairmanship simply will not happen, so there is hope for this, there is a calculation for this, there is a recommendation of the european commission, there is their analysis, our implementation of all the additional four sub-points, let's say, of those seven conditions that we had to fulfill on pre-candidacy, and i hope that this is enough for this... to be approved, which means that we are moving on to a rich, bureaucratic and, well, meaningful negotiation process with the mem

few leaders of the western world, if we take the concept of the west more broadly than just the european union has not yet visited ukraine, but did so the day after how his country's presidency in the european union began. it is about the chairmanship of the eu council, where the heads of governments and states of the european union sit, it will last for six months, and now we can talk about the fact that this is a visit with signs and intentions to ensure... a warming of relations between hungary and ukraine - another matter. how sincere it is is another matter, how long it will last, whether it is such a temporary political move, it will be worth watching, because until now hungary, specifically viktor orbán, as its leader, has been consistent, in relation to ukraine in only one way, in obstruction. the european union's support for ukraine since russia attacked ukraine. so, if we talk about orban's leadership in the eu council, yes, a person who constantly opposes eu aid to ukraine, as you already said, can he somehow personally negatively affect the further provision of this aid? in fact, n

european integration relations between a country moving towards membership and the european commission, for example, the european union party. and in fact, everyone has already seen the rather sad experience of hungary, when they held their presidency, well, in general, hungary has a very special relationship with the european union, and there were also many fears that the hungarians would use their presidency for their own political purposes, well, what do we see, we we see that several times, for example, ignored high-ranking officials of the european union, did not come to the events organized by the hungarian side. ministers, these are all very significant reputational risks, accordingly, the polish side is very clearly aware of all these points, and in this regard, i would pay more attention to our bilateral track, bilateral relations with the european commission. the polish presidency agreed on its priorities, for example, a few months ago. now they will be determined by the events that will take place in brussels and in warsaw, and accordingly, in fact, denmark is already becoming more active, because in the se

, if the european union tries to defend its status as a geopolitical player, and this was the sloganm, then it is obvious that the european union will try to make more efforts to support ukraine, and we will find ourselves they are on the same page, and in a situation with such a player as the european union , it will be for us... only a plus, but how would you rate orban's visit to kyiv, according to the results, he made such a blockbuster, a real such a whole movies like him went to ukraine, how he conducted negotiations here, how he returned under the cover of night, but in ukraine itself we saw that he did not go anywhere in particular, did not visit anyone, other leaders, when they come, they either visit a hospital there, or in they will go to the fire, or to some destroyed house. they will be taken orbán was not taken anywhere, as a rule, such things are agreed upon, and it was a political position, or how should it be understood? well, first of all, i don't know who the producer is, who makes these films for orbán, and there was a very similar story with ciar's visit, then an

than the european union. union of ukraine in connection with russian aggression, i emphasize thisine has become a colossal source of resources for many programs of the european community, including international programs, because no one could imagine that a country, state and society waging a ten-year war, will be able to export 30 million grains every year in war conditions. i don't say things there anymore. which are related to the energy complex, to the resources of the extractive industry, and so on, this is all in fact in these positions and provisions of 35 of these documents, they are all indicated there according to six key clusters, and here it is important to understand that the decisions that will now be made in the coming years, so they will be somewhere within the framework of certain... regulatory and procedural norms, but to talk about the fact that in the current conditions, or in matters of security, or in matters of related with the food and energy crisis, someone will read these regulations, while understanding that today ukraine's accession to the eu is saving

the european parliament. let's talk about how the mood in the european union is changing... yes, tell me, how do you assess the results of the elections to the european parliament, how large-scale are the changes in the european political arena? you know, in order to talk about the results, you need to understand that european elections, elections to the european parliament, they traditionally resemble a political show with elements of immersive theater, that is, in which the director acts. european bureaucracy, we need to look at the emphasis that the european bureaucracy placed on the eve of the vote; first of all, the task was to preserve the current political landscape in the european parliament. but we can say that this task has been generally completed, the greens asked, the liberals asked, and at the same time the political mainstream managed to maintain its previous positions, the extreme right somewhat improved theirs, their representation, but it was representation, not position, because it depends on whether they manage to form strong political factions, and one of

good morning, anton vladievich, hello, so, in your opinion, what is more in this decision of the european union, well... income from blocked russian sovereign assets, they will really go for the hybrid war that the european union is currently waging against our country, yesterday the eu members publicly signed up for this, since 90% of the amounts received from the management of state assets will be transferred twice a year to the european peace fund, in order to pay for the purchase of weapons of the armed forces of the armed forces forces of ukraine. that is, the goal remains, was and remains the same - this is to inflict a strategic defeat on our country, and hence the fanaticism with which the eu continues to pump kiev with lethal weapons, well, as for your question about that there is more in this decision, you know, i think the answer is simple, in this decision there is more outright theft, i think this is the most important thing, the most. integration, they took an unprecedented step: the theft of sovereign assets of a foreign state, that is, this is not a matter of russia, this, in pr

, but also about reform within the european union. of the union and the need to ensure that thesen parallel, so that in no case is our ability to join the european union dependent on how far the european union completes internal reform, this is a key issue for us, and here we are supported by obviously all countries , which on today are either candidates or have open negotiations with the european union, and also a large number of members within the union, well, you are talking about cooperation, about reforms, about an urgent situation, did you manage to talk or find a dialogue with the representatives of the parliaments of those countries, well, again after all, it is not their fault, but in general those countries where there are now certain problems in relations with ukraine, economic, political, starting from the blocking of the border, which is already being stopped, let's say, it should be stopped in poland, but there are others.. ... some nuances, again yes, the position of hungary, which can preside , again, we know that orbán can replace charles michel, has it been possi

it happened today session of the european parliament, during which the issues of the future, the future security of the european union, the countries of the european union were considered, and against the background of what, of course, is happening now, there is a lot. statements of the leaders of european countries, regarding whether they will send troops to ukraine or not. obviously, we are talking about the creation of a new security architecture, european, perhaps a little bit, separate from nato, because trump's statements, i understand, have scared many in europe that at some point the united states of america will not intervene for the countries that are part of the north atlantic alliance. tell tetyana how this discussion was conducted today, and actually, what was agreed upon, or not... agreed, but what are they agreeing on? yes, actually today's security debates in the session hall of the european parliament proved that the european union is now absolutely in emergency mode and absolutely seriously trying to prepare for putin's possible invasion of the territory of the european union, today, speaking in the

, europe, the european commonwealth , because once it was not called the european union, but it clearly understood that... ukraine is not part of the soviet union, it is not a former soviet republic, but a european state. and now ukraine enters this port and enters the negotiation period. these negotiations, i i hope they will be shorter than in the case of other countries, because ukraine is already partially in the european union. please note, first of all, ukraine has signed the association agreement, that is, it is an associated member. and these are not empty words, it is about the fact that, for example, in trade matters in ukraine, the eu is almost like a union, in addition, there are special norms related to war, this also led to the fact that ukraine gained access to the free market and in many respects eu countries can also trade in ukraine, as if ukraine were part of the union, so ukraine is already largely in the eu, in a political sense. but of course the negotiations are still ahead in the legal sense, it will definitely last several years, i think that at least fo

that orbán had crossed the line, and this, of course, was not only about support for ukraine, but about european solidarity in general and about the fact that the european the unions not ready, even to one of its full member countries, a member of the european union, to give the opportunity to blackmail all others in this way. ms. maria, look, well, i would also like to mention that literally yesterday, the day before yesterday , american senators already spoke anti-orbán, but the question of principles, since you are an expert in european integration, a lot of people complain about the europeans, about the americans, they think for a long time, very and and and such voices, why can't they tell hungary to shut its mouth once and for all bad and and and don't spoil the overall picture for us, otherwise... we will do you bad, and that too, this is such a very long procedure of persuasion, hints, come on, this is the norm of behavior of simply civilized countries, that is, you should not expect quick solutions only not in the issue of hungary, but also in the issue, for example , of weapons for ukraine, money for ukraine, that people will be waiting for a long time

, member countries of the european union, but this is an advance, but this is an advance, and they strange for this simple reason that we do not have those problems that have the countries of the european union, but we have the opportunities that the countries of the european union have, well, the same green charter, all of them. but this will all pass, we really have to clearly realize that when we become a member of the european union, we need such negotiations that would not create restrictions on the supply of our products to the european market for another 40 years, well, as some say in poland on 35, by the way, this was not an exaggeration, i just heard that it will be necessary to limit the supply of agricultural products of ukraine to the... market for 35 years, and why? and because we are two competitive countries with a very similar type of economy, both ukraine and poland have a very developed agriculture, not in all the countries of the european union, it is so developed, and our land is better, the conditions are better than in poland, in poland developed agriculture

and this directive is a law of the european union, it is not just a resolution of the european parliament that declares something and there are no real consequences, this is the approval of the directive of the european union, the european law, which will be uniform for all european states, regarding the fact that from now on , the violation of the sanctions established by the european union, and primarily this concerns the sanctions against the russian federation, will be considered, for now, every state of the european union has its own... authority in this regard considers certain types of circumvention of sanctions, for example, criminal, certain types of circumvention of sanctions, this is an administrative offense, some other types of violation of sanctions are not considered a violation at all, and this is how the russians find loopholes in order to purchase goods on the territory of the european union, which they then use in the war against ukraine, and there is even such a thing, as the deputies said during the debate here, there is the rule of finding a convenient court, when, f

turns out that the resolution calls for holding. investigation in the european parliament , also calls on the member states of the european union to carry out appropriate investigations regarding the same tetyana shdanok, if it is necessary to open criminal proceedings, but the european parliament does not have the authority to directly change anything in this regard, and it is very revealing that, for example, it is tetyana zhdanok, who is directly accused of cooperating with the fsb, who is behaving, her e-mail box was hacked, where there are all these correspondences. it can already be clearly said that it is 100% proven, and literally the day before yesterday she spoke in the european parliament during the debate and said: yes, i am an agent, but i am an agent of peace from lisbon to the urals, that is, she simply continues to defend these same russian narratives, because he understands that it will be very difficult to directly prove her work at the fsb, and by the way, the german party you mentioned is mentioned in passing in the resolution, but there is nothing about it... tatyana, we would like to understand that soon i

the european council, mr. valery. zelensky signed a security agreement with the european union, so what does this security agreement withean institution mean, because there are 17 or 19 separate security agreements that we have already signed, and at the same meeting of the european council we signed with lithuania and estonia, which means a security agreement with the european council, or with the european union, or rather, well... i will say this, all agreements in themselves are diplomatic, diplomatic work, and it is good that there is some kind of in-depth fixation of in-depth relations, for the practice of our relations with the european union, this agreement not much to add, it fixes those mechanisms, the level of relations that exists, although it also has intentions, well, it is indefinite, unlike other ten-year ones, well, indefinite. it is clear why, because it actually captures the current attitude of the european union, if we open the foreign policy section, and then the foreign policy-security section, we will understand that it is precisely in this section that we have progressed more than anything, in fac

all these things will matter, just as it will matter how effectively and meaningfully the european union itself will work on its internal changes, and whether we will still succeed in separating this dependence of our accession process from the completion of internal reform. of the european union, for it is fundamental to us that, regardless of whether they have completed their internal transformations there or not, if we are ready, we can expect to enter. mrs. ivano, you are a person who has been dealing with the topic of european integration for more than the first month, not the first year, you are well versed in what is happening in europe, what are the moods there, and you know how other countries have gone through this path, here is your realistic forecast, does ukraine have a chance to join the european union by 2030 and become a full member? is it still about 2030 and beyond? i would love to we wanted to make it to 2030, as charles michel talked about it, and this is approximately the frame, the average frame of duration from application to membership, in which - which those coun
