brussels is now in a hurry to help.ed, create a problem, and then come and start thinking how to solve it, and there is only one question. and to whom brussels is in a hurry to help. e, recently presented to the european commission an action plan to promote the export of cereals with ukraine under the name of the road of solidarity otherwise. it is difficult to call it a surplus appraisal, in fact, a full-scale mobilization has been announced for the export of available ukrainian grain to the european union, which i just said, i’m talking about again. well, wait, well, when ukraine was talking, by the way, promoting this topic from the western angle to the sea , about how against the background, so to speak, of a crop failure. they collected grain and that's it. it gave out for the genocide of the ukrainian people for the floor. the west applauded and supported and found more and more new reasons for accusing our country of non-existent sins. now, just wait, you yourself in brussels in the west, everywhere announced tha

brussels. the bill must go to the senate for approval. the liquidation of the disciplinary chamber and the main condition for the adoption by brussels of the polish recovery plan, on the basis of which poland can receive about 58 billion euros from the european union, however, the european commission. found a new reason to criticize warsaw or what? poland spends less on social benefits than other eu countries in recent years, gap exceeded 4% of gdp per year. in addition, brussels believes that benefits in poland are often not granted regardless of the income level of applicants. european commission. also noted that the poverty of working people in poland above the eu average is particularly at risk of poverty and social exclusion of older people poland's population is inexorably aging. about his support is not increasing. the united states is ready to supply ukraine with long -range missile systems, multiple launch rocket systems will be included in a new package of military assistance to kiev which washington will announce next week assu

barbara, hazel and brussels forest. thank you very much. now, a shortage of materials in germany's manufacturing sector is getting worse according to the countries evo institute. for economic research, almost 80 percent of companies complained of bottlenecks and problems getting into media products and raw materials like steel during may. foreclosures in china to district lockdown made the situation even worse and recent months. other proposals, problems even facing manufacturers, will be one of the key topics this year's hanover fair, which has returned after a pandemic hiatus. the world's biggest industrial conference comes at a time of great uncertainty for makers across the globe. the 2020 to hanover fear is running at around half its pre pandemic capacity with some $2500.00 exhibitors instead of $5000.00 industrial transformation is the theme the call to action. businesses cannot afford to ignore, given the pandemic and soaring energy prices. amid the war in ukraine, and while companies with sustainable energy solutions may benefit fro

in may, brussels announced it would invest up to 300000000000 euros to help the e. e. u become independent of russian fossil fuels and in germany, the readiness of policy makers to help businesses response swiftly to ongoing challenges has also increased in crisis situations. we usually see that our mutual interest and readiness to talk about on think about solutions is bigger than in maybe more regular normal times. so right now doesn't barry brought an open readiness and both sides to talk today. policy makers are increasingly re drawing the framework for companies to do business. it's happening at a rapid pace. still, companies have their work cut out. well, i think export orientated companies have to rethink the strategy of some final solution, biding, changing nothing because they're not active in any countries at a high risk. other sir, start to invest also in production and research in certain regions to become independent and to have a complete different value change. the value chains of the global economy are being redrawn rapidly amid significant macro econom

us from brussel, alexandra. so we just heard the term that you could mission could be watering down the proposal. the embargo proposal signal, it will only embargo oil transported by c, allowing hungary to still receive oil by its pipeline. does this embargo light if it happens, actually make any difference? yes, it would make a difference. i think even though we are really talking here about a partial oil embargo only, but if for the european union moves forwards to banning all seaborne oil from russia, that would amount to 2 thirds of all oil deliveries to plan is to exempt hungry and maybe to other land locker nations, or from this embargo, but other countries such as germany, for instance, and colon, they have already announced that they are going to quit all russian deliveries of whether seaborne or through pipelines and that would in the ends amount to 90 percent of all russian deliveries, so at that it would be a big step. but even a with is a potential compromise that is currently been debated. and bruss

i haven't seen any reactions yet, but in brussels, in principle, in the european the union, as well asnato, constantly repeat that the decision on whether ukraine will be a member of the european union, just like when it comes to nato or whether ukraine will be a member of this alliance, is a decision of the countries of the european union and ukraine, the countries of nato and ukraine and the decisions and certain wishes of moscow in this case have little effect on the politics of brussels and on the chances of ukraine to join the club of the european union or the club of nato . are paying attention to moscow's position, and for many years nato did not want to annoy moscow , that's why they unofficially closed the door to ukraine, now this issue is basically being removed well, yesterday we talked with you about the fact that finland announced that sweden would join nato as to wait, too, against to engage, that nato is not afraid to expand now, what are ukraine's chances of joining nato, well, we'll see in real life thank you, it was hryhoriy zhigalovy from brussels, the ukrainian mil

zoryana stepanenko from brussels .olitical scientist, researcher at charles university , boris nimtsov center for russian studies. my congratulations, well, on the one hand, they are warm, albeit slowly, but with many caveats. nevertheless, the eu continues to demonstrate that there is something strange about sanctions and about putin, on the other hand, some experts say that this everything is very slow, that all this should have been decided three months ago. please tell me whether there is a real threat to the putin regime, for example, through these very sanctions. expect some kind of economic blow to putin's regime that would instantly lead to some irreparable consequences for this regime . his actions eh and now, this is exactly the moment when, after three months of war, when many eh measures have already been taken, eh, worlds that were really impossible before, a second will be presented now, the next stage is being constructed, this is a difficult story why, because well first of all, economic measures in the

the proposals coming from brussels — and again, it's important to emphasise this is coming from brusselse administrative, bureaucratic centre of the european union, not from the member states — is proposing something that is unacceptable. they exactly know the hungarian position, they are familiar with the facts, they are familiar with the ratios, actually, of russian gas and oil in our energy portfolio and the importance for our economic system. so, they exactly know that what they are proposing is against hungarian interest, is against the possibility that is feasible on the ground. and if we do that, we completely are going to ruin hungarian economy. well, you know, i come back to, again, the examples from other member states. i was in bratislava just the other day, talking to eduard heger, the pm of slovakia. last time i checked, slovakia, too, was landlocked, slovakia, too, is heavily reliant on russian oil. he says his country is going to make every effort possible to diversify its energy sources, to move away from russian oil, he deeply regrets what he calls the strategic mistake

w, a brussels bureau chief, alexander von nomine in brussels. and d w. chief, political editor, michelle, yellow kutner. in our studio, i'm going to start with you in brussels. alexandra, what did you make of the statement? well, i was not surprised that of course, the european commission president as well as the president of the repeal council. both of them were very happy with their results dressing how important it was to stay, remain a re, a united. they talked about the oil embargo and that is going to have an impact, but of course they also stress sta and it was in particular the european commission president was upon the lion who stressed at that europe is well prepared for such a step that they have been thinking about getting prepared to make sure that they won't be any problems with regards to the energy security and another topic that i think it's very important for our audience as well. is how much, how important it was for the european leaders to speak about food security. of course, they're not concerned about the situation in the

go back to mac xander in brussels. so max, there were say at the finish hope, but nato membership would protect them from any russian invasion. but russia used the pretext of nature expansion to go into ukraine. so is there a fear amongst the nato membership, but this might backfire? right, so russian retaliation has been a major concern here. that's true, but perhaps some that the threat is not as eminent as we've we, we've believed my colleague, terry schultz actually spoke to the nato. m ambassador. that if, if finland finished nato ambassador and asked him about this, the situation there. and he told her that at the moment there, he does not see any signs at this stage that russia is supp. it's aggression against finland and in prospect of a potential and nato membership. that being said, finland also relies heavily on its military deterrence. they have very strong military, they have relied on this in the past. and in addition to this, for the period where finland has a or will apply for nato membership. and for t

and now we are hearing from our source for us here and brussels, that there will be able to night to agree. in principle on this ban, i can almost hear some of our viewers alexander asking why does hungry have so much power over the block? what does this mean for the unity and integrity of the block? well, it's of course and not a good sign to have hungry, but also other nations saying, well, we are so concerned about our energy security that we are not ready to ben russian oil altogether. however, we have to remind our viewers at that, and that's how things work in the european union that you need. all member states on board when comes to such important decisions because they want to be united, they want to show this unity. and sometimes it means that you have to make compromises to get the deal done. the to date summit will also discuss the defense investments and a plan to rebuild ukraine. what more can you tell us about that? we expect the leaders to agree to provide ukraine with none. 9000000000 euros in 2022 to help the country pay the bills, pay on the payments to, to state wo

and therefore the protocol has to change whether brussels likes it or not. the judge duncan, go ahead the difficulties write the programs to national. i don't agree with them. but actually this election confirmed that the majority in northern, i don't quite, quite, substantially are in favor of retaining the protocol. and if there was a vote in the family, it will be, it would be a majority vote. i do think there is a problem, but it's not shared across the community. and what could be done there? the difficulty being that the form of practice that bars johnston at shows also had no cross community support. and the options which might have had cross committee sport were removed during the negotiations. who are kind of unraveling the wheel here. i suspect that the resonance invention, which causes an a thing like a trade war between europe and union or anything to disrupt the open border and the size of items that will actually cause more problems rather than last. so i'll be interested to see how it goes on, but i think to suggest that this wouldn't have wid

k. government is looking for a reason to oppose or upset brussels. the u. k. government would like nothing more than to have this problem of their hands. but of course, they can't ignore it, because now the units are in a position to say, look, either you have a good friday agreement and it's, it's situations exactly and north south, a surface situations. all you have to protocol, but you're not getting both. so you can, government has to do something about that. what it looks like they're choosing to do is they're, they're already working on legislation to hand power over the protocol to u. k. ministers. so you came in, this is, will then be able to override it. this will lead to around with the a you can see we're showing no flexibility. we, you did here with exploited a period where if i may continue, the you exploited a period of great political weakness and division within the u. k. to come up with a solution with which was with which nationalists in ohio were completely happy and units were completely unhappy and in the situation, although you just ca

in brussels, the head of the european commission.ula fondarm will publish the set of measures that will then have to be considered, according to the eu states, and then i advise the eu to approve, perhaps the main issue around which there has been a lot of speculation in recent days. to what extent new restrictions will affect the supply of russian energy resources, there are calls. how completely stop so refuse to import gradually the adoption of sanctions in the coming days was also announced by the head of european diplomacy, jose barrel , who flew to panama, which, by the way, is blacklisted by the eu as tax ubes. barrel apologized in every possible way for the fact that europe cannot yet remove its stigma from this state. however, he asked for political support for the issue of anti-russian sanctions and did not consider it inappropriate to state that, among other things , the expansion of restrictions against the banking sector is being considered against moscow, more russian banks will disconnected from the swift system and th

our diplomatic editor joins us live now from brussels. he's been following developments there.es, can you give us some details on exactly what they have agreed to, and how hunary, after blocking the sanction -- hungary, after blocking the sanction, has agreed to go along with it? >> yes, it seems that after nearly a month of trying to get this through, this sixth package of sanctions, the breakthrough has comes while the leaders were having their dinner. the news, coming to us just a few moments ago, on twitter from the president of the european council. he says unity is the first word of the tweet. this came by twitter. agreement to ban exports of russian oil to the eu. covering more than two thirds of oil imports from russia is not what the eu originally set out to do when it first announced this sixth package of sanctions and the ban on oil. it was going to cover all russian oil. would it now covers is oil that comes from russia into the eu by ship but not oil into the eu by pipeline. that will be dealt with later. this is because of the rejections of one country, hungary, e

what other measures has brussels envisaged and when will they come into force?t of the sixth package of sanctions provides for the refusal of the supply of crude oil from russia within the next six months of by-products within 8 months before the end of the year, the european union plans to completely abandon russian oil products. and this statement by ursula flanderlein in the european parliament was greeted with thunderous applause, the european parliament member on the circle of this issue over the past weeks, there was a rather lively discussion throughout the european union, the media report that the draft of these sanctions also states that an exception will be made for hungary and slovakia which are 100% dependent on russian oil. uh, until the end of 2023 of the year. they will be able to continue to buy russian oil products and oil. and at the same time, as experts here in brussels believe, a discussion may unfold around this paragraph of the proposals for sanctions, since some other gay countries may also want to take advantage of the media exception, i

james bass was in brussels, but 1st, his report. european leaders arriving in brussels for a crucial meeting on ukraine. at the start of the crisis, states surprised many with unity and strong sanctions. but a 6th package of measures including a ban on oil from russia, had been stalled for nearly a month because of objections from the e. u leader with the friendliest relations with vladimir putin, even at the start of the meeting hungry, his recently reelected prime minister victor oberon seemed opposed the whole agreement. of course, what the problem is, the law that we are in a very difficult situation. ah, basically because of the responsible behavior of the commission, the head of the commission didn't address such criticism, but she to suggest it, there wouldn't be a breakthrough during this meeting to. we're not there yet, but it has matured for shawn. my expectations. i know that it will be solved in the next 48 hours as ever the formal sessions at these. it's a close to the public. but president zalinski is off his release part of his speech when he joined the meeting by vide

we are in brussels next as e.u.rs kick off two days of meetings with that russian oil band still a sticking point. we will take another look at the story. this is bloomberg. ♪ yousef: this is "bloomberg daybreak: europe." i am yousef gamal el-din dubai. leaders are gathering for the summit in brussels with the latest sanctions package stops. hungary is refusing to back the compromise to deal. let's get to maria tadeo. what could a middle ground deal look like? maria: yes, good morning. and you know, it is unclear because this thing has been on the table for a month. it is clearly not a good look for the european institutions. a huge hit to the credibility of the european commission. after four weeks, but are looking at is a very watered-down version of the initial draft that is not yet done and agreed to by the e.u. 27 leaders. viktor orban said there's no point debating this, that it would only serve to showcase divisions in the e.u. but clearly, this issue of the oil ban, the lack of oil ban, dominates the agenda.

my colleague zoryana stepanenko is watching the discussions in brussels.ratulations from the last thing i saw on this topic. this is the statement of the hungarian minister of foreign affairs, where he said that hungary is not ready to join the oil embargo. what news do you have? i congratulate you on moving forward with the sixth package of sanctions . it is precisely at such a sensitive moment that the diplomat of the european union is given such a very difficult opportunity to make such significant concessions in brussels, which are unprecedented, i would say, and to countries that are especially dependent on russian oil was offered exceptions so that they, accordingly, would not block such a necessary and symbolic and practical solution, because the european union wants to prevent russia from making money from its oil in order not to be, let's say, involved in the financing of the war in ukraine. the deadline for european countries to give up russian black gold was the end of this year, then the czech republic was ready to give more time until the midd

today, our minister of foreign affairs, dmytro kuleba, is in brussels .n his speech, kuleba said that three factors can change the situation for the better, with an appeal to his colleagues: economic tough sanctions against russia, military supply of heavy goods, and political granting ukraine the status of a candidate for eu membership e.e. filming please comment on the visit itself yes, i would say that you are already used to seeing me here, but unfortunately the grounds are not happy as far as practical solutions can be today in brussels for ukraine during there are actually wars. i see that the european union is beginning to slow down. there are very difficult discussions regarding the oil sector. it is not only in hungary that there is a desire. well, here this strategic decision has been made . the eu will refuse russian energy sources. but it will be this of course does not suit us, because we need pressure on putin here and now, and the issue of the oil bank will continue to be considered. several countries actually do not buy russian oil. we cer

such an initiative was announced in brussels. last week, today the eu council is approved the decision why europe decided to take such a step, olena abramovich will tell more about the world on the brink of starvation due to russian aggression in ukraine and something needs to be done about it, says the explanatory note of the european council on the package of measures to help ukraine, discuss in detail and step by step how the eu itself can facilitate and speed up the export of ukrainian grains, the minister of agriculture of the eu member states gathered for a meeting in brussels, despite the fact that we in europe can handle the situation, the threat looms over the countries that are developing, the rise in product prices is creating a crisis at the borders of the eu, for example in africa. and this can cause new migration crises. ukraine is the largest exporter of agricultural products to the countries of north africa and the middle east, and they are already feeling the consequences of the russian war there, for example, in

european union is thinking how to save ukrainian grain we will discuss in a direct connection from brussels to azov steel the operation to remove the dead ukrainian defenders of mariupol is underway this was one of the conditions of the defenders of the city to first save all civilians from the factory tunnels and bunkers next to the wounded and after them to take them out for a dignified farewell and burial with honors of the fallen soldiers, at least on the morning of may 20, the commanders remained at the plant and fighters of the azov regiment, the head of the press service of this unit, dmytro kozatsky, wrote a quote on his twitter: "thank you very much for sheltering azovstal, the place of my death and my life, and they warned me that i might lose contact with them . " the prisoners will be happy if he receives awards for them, further, i suggest listening to the statement of the regiment commander denys prokopenko glory to ukraine 86 days of mariupol defense, the higher military leadership gave an order to preserve life and health military personnel of the garrison and the cessation

being drawn the european union is still divided over banning russian oil. leaders are meeting and brussels to agree on a 6th round of economic sanctions against moscow. but hungary is resisting an oil embargo because it's heavily dependent on supplies from russia. oil embargo, or no oil embargo. e leaders will have their eye on this man to day hungarian prime minister victor all been. well, several you nations say facing our dressing, oil will get expensive. hunger is the only one still open, the blocking it. and urban didn't give his fellow leaders much hope. this will change at this summit. thar, now did he's in agreement. oh, well, now i don't know about that would be acceptable at the moment that we will compromise with women people to get hungry on side. the ear commission has already watered down its proposal. only russian oil transported by c would be targeted and pipeline oil would be excluded. something which would greatly benefit landlocked hungary the central european country is heavily dependent on russian energy. but that's not enough for organ. he said hungary wanted oil supp

the agenda i was going across to did up in brussels correspondent max sander. i'm actually just heard your commission president fund a lion in the report saying that the oil embargo will destroy the financial basis of futons war in ukraine. how hard will this really hit a russian economy? right, so the 6 package of sanctions in particular is all and burger has the potential to deal a severe blow to the russian economy. where we're talking about 90 percent less oil going into the european union. and this could transit into 25 percent less revenue in the russian budget, according to some experts. so a huge chunk of money. now this is because we're not just talking about oil, but also petroleum products or a refined products. we're talking about diesel. we're talking about a petrol, cosmetic sir production of that and an asphalt in various other, other in other areas. so industry, these industries and russia will, are all targeted by the sanctions and some of them are likely to be brought to their knees. ok, so this next round of sanctions, clearly tough on russia

orban referred to the russian-ukrainian war , he stated that the sanctions against brussels have alreadyto economic potters, please explain to us what this latest decision of orban means for ukraine, after all, it is extraordinary state if we talk about such an experimental translation, then this is a special situation. the hungarian constitution provides for five types of uh, that state that we understand as extraordinary. here and here is one of them uh, well, i would say anyway would use the term state of emergency without this literal translation, but what is important to say is that a similar state of emergency of the same type of these five is in effect in hungary. well, it is still in effect yesterday and has been in effect since 2020, but then the reason was the coronavirus pandemic, now the official reason for how they say the introduction of a new state of emergency on top of the previous state of emergency, this is the war in ukraine, about the fact that it changes for hungary, in fact, it changes little, er, it changes little, not only because this state of emergency there wa

so l ban at big news, but not the only topic on the agenda in brussels today. and what else came out of busy summits? so various other topics were discussed. one very important topic here is food security. now ukraine is also dub, the breadbasket of europe. it's one of the biggest producers of gray in the entire world, the biggest one of the biggest exporters, and due to the warn ukraine grain is stuck there. so we're talking about 20000000 tons that are stuck in the ports of ukraine at the moment because they're blocked by the russian military. now the you discussed on how to help with that situation because a lot of this grade goes to some of the poorest countries are in the world, some of the poorest countries in africa in the malise. a lot of it goes to goes to humanitarian aid also. so with the european union as was discussing now is implementing green lanes. trying to bring out this grain through the u on rail, on land, not through the she put, bring in and to see ports in countries in the you and then putting them back in the supply chain there. they sai

i mean, no one in brussels is taking control. they say they're all unify unit and then the ukrainians can turn off to speak and unilaterally. and the u. e. u doesn't know what to do. you know, it's lost and you know, the point that market was making about these preposterous new coalitions or security deals that britain is making when sending and sweet. and that also undermines usually, you know, it makes it look as though it's almost a sort of peripheral player if you like, you know, parents just to the whole plan. very interesting though. just a few days ago, your friends foreign minister was talking in terms of the you possibly teaching you praying an next session deal. when you're going at some point. did that follow because of macros, comments, if you decided to say that it might take a decade for ukraine to join? you know, i think there's tension between ukraine, on your opinion. on the one side, you know, the european union might know scenario you crime, isn't it? signs a piece to russia to soon before you actually have thi

we are tired of brussels.really want the issue of sovereignty to be raised, we are not opposed to opening borders for the movement of goods and services. we are very opposed to what is called the dictate of brussels they do not like brussels in any normal conversation with politicians with scientists. they all say the same thing, we do not share the voice of brussels, we are afraid of it. and yes , they are very clear they say that to date europe has received nothing europe has not received dividends from either britain or america and all europeans still ordinary citizens believe that when the cold comes, and suddenly there will be a price for gas, more or less high, then all that difference. america compensates and will personally send it to everyone their wallets. this is not how the system works in the united states of america, they never give out money to anyone. they must understand this, but the second year is passing by, and now the understanding is gradually coming that politicians are leading them in

our diplomatic editor james bay's joins his live now from brussels. he's been following developments there. and james, can you give us some details on exactly what they've agreed to and how hungry off to blocking this sanction has agreed to to go along with it? yes, so it seems that after nearly a month of trying to get this through this 6 package of sanctions, the breakthrough has come while the leaders were having their dinner. the news coming to us just a few moments ago on twitter from shall, michelle, who is the president of the european council. he says, unity is the 1st word of the tweet because this came by twitter agreement to ban export russian oil to the u. this immediately covers more than 2 thirds of all imports from russia. now that is not what the you originally set out to do when it 1st announced this 6 package of sanctions and the ban on oil, it was gonna cover all russian oil. what it now covers is oil that comes from russia into the e. u by ship, but not oil that comes into the e. u by pipeline that will be dealt with later. now thi

it will be the prime candidate to be the new european commission presidents in brussels. i put 100 bucks on that. i'm pretty sure that's going to happen. so he's preparing the french and the you for the long plan here. you know, but there are dangers that things don't quite go to plan and the plan is don't go along with this surreptitious to which the europeans are pushing at the moment. so . ready lots of play for a lot of high stakes and we don't really have any certain outlook of which way this can turn. you know, the, you doesn't really seem to have much control. what's going on at the moment is just banking on the plan carrying more money into it and keeping the sanctions going. but it will somehow we compute in and that will put even a strong negotiated position on behalf of ukraine at some point. but then that's going to happen. well, i wouldn't bet the farm on there. i it, it, let's go back to uh, to marco and london here. i wanna read a quote, quote that up with boris jones, i think he was talking with a, i think that's a swedish finisher. of foreign minister rel

unfortunately, with people in washington and those in brussels and berlin, who should know better? you know, brad, you know, because you brought it up 1st on the program here. i mean, this is a very unsavory alliance because as things get worse and worse for ukrainian armed forces, the you in the u. s. in the u. k. are going to depend more on these nefarious groups more than ever. well, you know, somebody who's lived roughly in the post communist world for a few years, i can say that that alliance is not as unholy is you might wish it was. i think that there is quite a large market for that for those kind of ideas. certainly when the check or public riley's, i mean we have like city officials in problem building neo nazi or i'm sorry, nazi collaborator, money money, and then tearing down soviet war hero memorials. essentially rewriting history of the 2nd world war. and i find all of this extremely disturbing and disgusting, and it's like if, if, if this happens in ukraine, that these various courses, the only one that are going to be willing to fight this nato. russia proxy conflic

he will be the prime candidate to be the new european commission president and brussels. i put 100 bucks on that. i'm pretty sure that's going to happen. so he's preparing the french and the you for the long plan here. you know, but there are dangers that things don't quite go to plan and the plane is, don't go along with this surreptitious to which the europeans are pushing at the moment. so there's a lot to play for a lot of high stakes and we don't really have any certain outlook of which way this can turn. you know, the, you doesn't really seem to have much control. what's going on at the moment is just banking on the cloud. more money into it and keeping the sanctions going, that it will somehow we compute and, and that will put the even a strong negotiated position on behalf of ukraine at some point. but, and that's going to happen. well, i wouldn't bet the farm on there. i it, it, let's go back to marco and london here. i want to read a cloud quote that web with boris john. so i think he was talking with her. i think that's a sweeter sure finish. a foreign minister

you know, when i was in brussels i, i lost count him and didn't part. as i went to where, you know, seeing that you have issues for glosses, ryan would start talking about competing, got to come up with america, creating the united states of europe. and this is the federalist superpower dream. the people like macro have and to be honest, the e, u and macro, i think it looked at ukraine as, as almost a gift or something called given. because i wanted a very, very long time to justify scrapping the veto roll the unit and see on voting on big decisions and brussels, which is prevented this russian sanction soil planned going through should remember . and i also wanted the opportunity to present you on the, i think a micron is finally realized that the french to be more relevant for him to be more powerful and run the way he'd like to. well i'm, he's really like martin, i think that's a very valid point. but as a crown or anyone else of these, these kind of, um, super staters have they ever, ever considered maybe asking the people of europe? that's what the
