well, the president of the european council, charles michel, will shorten his visit to china by a day, and all because of threats. viktor orban's hungary to block the start of the procedure for starting negotiations with ukraine on joining the european union. shortening his trip to heaven, the president of the european council wants to once again hold consultations on this matter with the leaders of the states and governments of the european union member states before the eu summit on december 14-15. well, it is also worth noting that the day before viktor orban sent charles michel a letter in which he asked not to put the question of ukraine's accession to the eu to a vote, because according to orban there is no consensus on this, there simply won't be. there was no outright threat, because i veto, i will not vote, and maybe not only me, given that some countries also expressed skepticism about this question, and i will remind you that charles michel and the president of the european commission ursula fonderlein are supposed to be in heaven on november 7 and 8 and were supposed to me

well, it is also worth noting that the day before viktor orban sent charles michel a letter in whiche asked not even put the issue of ukraine's accession to the eu to a vote, because according to orban there is no consensus on this, it simply won't happen, well, such an open threat, i didn't, because i veto, i won't vote, and maybe not only me, given that , that some countries also expressed skepticism about... this issue, well , i will remind you that charles michel and the president of the european commission ursula fonderlein should be in heaven on november 7 and 8 and were supposed to meet with the leadership of china there, but as we see charles michel shortens his own for a day trip, i suspect that the president of the european commission will also shorten it, since the same prime minister viktor orban threatens to block the review. it reminds me of a person, you know such a party, everyone is gathered somewhere in a country house, he is brought by others in a car, he brings one pack of cookies, and there he drinks, eats at someone else's expense, then he asks, what do you want

there is already a statement on twitter from charles michel, the head of the european council regardingnd the european union, but i will read it a little later, and now i will give the floor to serhii rudenko, he will tell about what will happen today, the speech will be in the verdict program, which will start at 20 and. sergey, good evening, please, good evening vasyl, that's right. let's talk about the decision of the leaders of the european union, because we just received a message from charles michel about the fact that the european union is starting major negotiations with the countries of eastern europe, in particular ukraine and moldova, regarding the accession of these countries to the european union, about what is being thought in europe, in particular in the european institutions, we will talk with our special correspondent from strasbourg. tatiana vysotska, let's talk about the special opinion of viktor orban, because today is not only the day of ukraine and moldova, today is also orban's day, because today the leader of hungary was literally in the center of attention durin

speaking to reporters, charles michel? the president of the european council ?ning of membership talks with both ukraine and moldova. he added that the eu would attempt to reach a unanimous decision on aid to ukraine next year. you just saw viktor 0rban. we can take you live to brussels, we have seen charles michel and now we're hearing from ursula von der leyen. there is a degree of compliance with membership criteria is achieved and we have strongly our collective commitment to a future where all six western balkan partners are part of our union. for example for albania, north macedonia, the commission's objective is to open accession negotiations on the first so—called fundamentals clusters as soon as possible. the attempt to reach that goal next week. i think that yesterday's decisions showed that the european union is living up to its promise. the reason for enlargement today, these reasons have never been stronger and more compelling. in a world that is shaken by multiple crises, it is an investment instability, it is an investment instability, it is an in

are, he came here and surrounded by hundreds of journalists from different parts of the world, charles michelconfirmed that the european union, i repeat once again, opens accession negotiations with ukraine and... this historical moment demonstrates the reliability and strength of the european union. the decision has been made, we open negotiations with ukraine, moldova, grant candidate status to georgia, and with bosnia and herzegovina we intend, we will open negotiations, the report will be published in march. what made viktor orbán change his mind, who as early as this morning, you remember , did not give any hints that such a thing is even possible, it is still an intrigue, but i think that we will soon learn more details from the diplomats, as it usually happens, well, an interesting moment , colleagues, how was the decision made, you know that at that moment the hungarian prime minister was simply not in the hall, well , no, this does not mean that procedurally it is possible to circumvent the rules of the eu, because you will surely think that... what about others cases , you can't jus

that was the voice of charles michel. sophia is our correspondent in brussels.h it was a night of two halves, there was a political bonus but then the financial never came. morning, gareth. financial never came. morning, gareth- yes. — financial never came. morning, gareth. yes, it _ financial never came. morning, gareth. yes, it was _ financial never came. morning, gareth. yes, it was a _ financial never came. morning, gareth. yes, it was a very - financial never came. morning, gareth. yes, it was a very long | gareth. yes, it was a very long night for european leaders here in brussels. that news about eu money being blocked by viktor orban came at about 3am in brussels after eu leaders had spent hours negotiating and hoping to find a solution. to give you a bit of context, the money we are talking about here is the next aid package that the eu was hoping to deliver to kyiv which would have unlocked 50 billion euros. president zelensky was desperate to get that money. we also heard from his wife, the first lady of ukraine, who said just a couple of ukraine, who

therefore, the press conference of the head of the european council, charles michel, and the head ofeuropean commission, president european commission ursula fondelein, based on the results of the first day of the european union summit, which started today in brussels, we will broadcast it for you with a translation into ukrainian, live, on youtube and facebook, espresso pages. don't miss it, this press conference should start soon. and i will also briefly tell you about what actually managed to reach now for all those people who had certain prospects for the european union, so i voiced what was written by charles michel, the head eurocouncil: the european union granted candidate status to georgia, and the european union will start negotiations with bosnia and herzegovina as soon as the necessary level of compliance with the membership criteria is reached and invited the commission to prepare a report by march with the aim of making such a decision, and in addition , ukraine and moldova were given . they were given the right to conduct negotiations on joining the european union, this

on monday he sent a letter to charles michel demanding that the issue be taken off the agenda for thetably lead to failure. orban wrote in a letter , a copy of which was seen by the guardian newspaper, if this is the question. will remain in effect. many in brussels believe orban is repeating his favorite hard-ball tactics to extract benefits from eu partners before eventually submitting. however , political and diplomatic sources in budapest said they did not believe the hungarian leader would relent this time. after he sent a letter saying that we shouldn't discuss this issue, i don’t see a sudden retreat,” said agastton mraz, director of a think tank close to orban’s fidesz party. in politics. you can never say never, but as far as i'm concerned, there's no chance. orban and futso are also opponents of a new tranche for ukraine from the european union in the amount of 50 billion. let's go back. every week we take stock of the president's work. the time has come to sum up the results of the year, and the president himself will do this. there will be more than just answers to questio

we see that the european union, its leaders, and representatives governing bodies there , also charles michel, he is putting a lot of effort into convincing those countries that are now opposed, in particular, this is hungary, you know that charles michel, he interrupted his visit to china, with the fact that in order to precisely to hold meetings with orbán, in the same way macron is now preparing for a meeting with orbán in order to precisely convince and remove this issue, well, here a great deal of work is being done by all our partners, respectively, from their side. we are also making efforts and leading the proverbial track, respectively, with hungary , we are adjusting and with fico with slovakia, so it seems to me that a lot of effort is already being made here, we will have a result, but this is a discussion in the middle of the european union, it is going on and will be accordingly to continue, although it will not be easy and it will not be quick, it is true. mr. igor , thank you, in fact, we will discuss this in the coming weeks... this situation, these proposed changes, in what

charles michel's team explained that from a legal point of view, everything is according to the rulesn knew what decision the other participants had to make. it didn't happen behind his back, but the issue of finances is still open. so far, it has not been possible to agree on a revision of the eu budget, which includes 50 billion euros for ukraine. the hungarian prime minister says that he is not against the european union providing financial support to ukraine, but not from the budget. still. you don't have as of now. alexei iro, thank you very much for the story, for your work, and once again congratulations. let me remind you that our special correspondent iryna ivanova was on a direct call from brussels, where the historic decision to start negotiations on ukraine's accession to the eu was made. second time this evening. well, that was the main news of the day. take care, see you soon. chevrons approaching victory. sportsman - by nature, a strong and unshakable person, but for more than a year ukrainian athletes have been going to the start with sorrow, each of them has a broken

listen to charles michel's answer for yourself. we are determined to use all possible arguments and will interact with respect for the different opinions that are on the table of the european council. i think yesterday's debate helped us understand what they can be to be tools and arguments that could be used in preparing the next meeting of the european council. viktor orban left the hall, however , he promised to return when ukraine takes further steps to meet the european union, and with finances, you know, he will not have such an opportunity, since there is only one solution, as i already noted, for four years, please , zoryano, what does it mean that he left and promised to return, because according to various, so to speak, forecasts, ukraine can join the eu, well, in the best case scenario... in the 30th year, well, maybe something will change, and something will speed up or, on the contrary, slow down this decision, viktor orban hopes that he will still be the prime minister by then, and will be able to return to the hall w

to agree, and we already have such a plus, if the deadline, which was set a few months ago by charles michel council, he said that it would be desirable to see the new process of...enlargement completed by 2030, and also yesterday the european parliament approved a resolution on the enlargement of the european union, which also said that negotiations with ukraine and moldova and bosnia and herzegovina should be completed by 2030, that is, at least we can hope for it, but here everything depends on how each state will negotiate with us, it absolutely depends on the will of the people. well, by the way, the new prime minister of poland donald tusk spoke about that the victory of ukraine is the future of europe. let's listen to what donald tusk said. i cannot accept any such mood, apathy towards ukraine or fatigue. this is something unacceptable, because in reality we are not only talking about ukraine, war and russian aggression. no, we are definitely talking about our future. what is interesting, tatiana, tusk says that ukraine and the victory of ukraine is our future, and urban does not say

this is insider information that from the very morning the president of the european council charles micheloposed to reduce the plans a little, not a little, to substantially reduce the plans that... before increasing the european budget for the next four years, and if the european commission requested 66 billions of euros for four years, and 50 billions were supposed to be included for ukraine, now only 22 billion euros lie on the table of the transition of the eu leaders with a small tail, this is what would have happened if there had been a leak from the middle from the beginning from the closed door of the negotiations of the leaders of the european union, that's why. .. we are still waiting for news, tense, interesting , we will wait for them as well, and yes, yes, yes , tatiana, today a decision was made to start negotiations with ukraine and with moldova, and we also voted to grant candidate status to georgia , this is for russia and for vladimir putin personally, today is such a big, negative event. event, because he understands that the european union will already be next to him, a

this was written by charles michel on twitter.sky also wrote: this is a victory for ukraine, this is a victory for all of europe, a victory that motivates, inspires and... strengthens, i also want to take this opportunity to let you know if you watch us on youtube, please subscribe to to our youtube page, generally subscribe to our pages on social networks, you will now see it on the screen, you will not miss any important news this way, we are on facebook, instagram, tiktok, youtube, you can watch this issue and previous ones. editions , we also talk about important moments every day, we will literally continue with the guests in a minute, i now suggest that you take a little time off and see how the summit is being covered, bbc world news correspondent sofia betitza was covering the summit today for the world audience during the day. a real one is currently unfolding in brussels diplomatic drama. if we talk about... the essence, then this summit is called a key one for the eu, and the leaders of all 27 member states of the commo

first, it was announced that the head of the european council, charles michel, would return from beijing against viktor orban, who threatens to disrupt the summit to discuss ukrainian membership in the eu, he writes. michel will return early from the chinese capital after the first day of meetings on thursday, partly because he does not have a secure phone line in beijing to talk to eu leaders without china eavesdropping on them. now michelle is making excuses, saying that the summit in china was immediately planned to be a one-day event. in fact european politicians are hastily leaving the middle kingdom, simply because they have not agreed on anything. boris ivanin, matey popov and olga albukhina, news. the russian presidential elections will be held on march 17 next year. this resolution was adopted by the federation council. the document comes into force from the date of publication and this is considered the official beginning of the election campaign. together, by choosing the head of state, we fully share a common destiny and a common responsibility for our fatherland. and of cour

in a narrow circle with the leaders of france and germany, as well by the head of the summit, charles michel he already had a conversation with the latter the night before and flew to paris the other day, and despite everything, arriving at the meeting, he again repeated his promise to block the decision on ukraine's membership in the eu. enlargement is not a theoretical issue , enlargement is a legally detailed process, based on merit and with preconditions, we put forward seven preconditions, and even according to the commission, three out of seven have not been fulfilled, so now there is no point in negotiating ukraine's membership. according to the european commission, as of a month ago, no only 10% of the conditions were fulfilled, on the eve of the summit, the president of the european commission. reported that kyiv had practically completed them during this time, but orban was not concerned about it, so the leaders prepared to fight to the last, immediately warned journalists that the summit could be delayed. the prime minister of portugal began to worry about whether he had taken eno

so michel, charles michel is going to china for the first in-person eu china summit since '19, but heis expected to return to brussels earlier, after the first day of the meeting on thursday, to continue discussions with the leaders, regarding the future. actions of the publication reminds that michel met with orbán in budapest last week in an attempt to settle tensions on the eve of the summit of eu leaders. french president emmanuel macron also invited orbán to meet with him in paris later this week to try to reach a compromise, writes the politician, citing another official. well, they are somehow trying to appease the hungarian dictator or semi-dictator there, well, but the process is not easy, as far as we can see. yes, well, we continue the discussion of the topic that is actually relevant in this one. weeks, it will be relevant until this situation is resolved, i am talking about the actual blocking of the ukrainian-polish border, to which slovak carriers have also recently joined, but, as reported by the state border service of ukraine, the cargo direction on the ukrainian-slo

the picture stuck a little. but we hear, we listen to you, yes, that is, before the visit of charles michelto budapest, this is exactly a week, exactly a week ago, even such the demands of official budapest , and this will surprise many, among those demands there is no, for example , ensuring the rights of the hungarian national minority, so we have heard, i don’t know, in recent years and so on, so on, and that ukraine, if it does, will now to do through changes to the legislation and it should be done , again, what is in those demands, of course, money , that is, orban is interested in money in general, and first of all those, well, they are now talking about 22 billion euros, which through structural funds, that is, through this seven-year budget, hungary now has to receive, which it has not received since 2020 year, due to problems with the rule of law, the second condition, well, to this condition, what to add, viktor orbán's goal to receive this money without significant conditions, that is, that he could spend it with the existing hungarian legislation on anti-corruption, anti-monopo

a high degree of support from our european partners, this can be seen from the statements of charles michela fondelein and... the leadership of the same scholz who is demonstrating, that is, germany, france and so further. certainly, there are difficult issues that we have to go through, this is the issue of, well, our integration, it happens in parallel with the changes that should take place in the european union, because it's a question of funds, it's a question of what claims ukraine, and what other countries are currently receiving, in particular also poland, for example, in the agricultural sector, here we also need to look for appropriate compromises from... and this is such a two-way movement in fact, that is, on the one hand, ukraine will implement those changes, which are necessary, on the other hand there are those tasks which are now standing, standing before the european union, what it has to implement, an important decision that we also expect, this is in terms of our european integration, the support we receive from the european union, this is the allocation of 50 billion, an

after that, the head of the european council, charles michel, went to the press and announced that theion had been made. this is a historic moment that shows the reliability and strength of the european union. we begin talks with ukraine and moldova, and georgia gets candidate status, this is very important, we want to support ukraine, this is a very powerful political decision. at the same time, hungarian prime minister viktor orbán published a video with his own statement, saying that this decision is very bad. hungary's position is transparent. ukraine is not ready to start negotiations on membership in... this is absolutely irrational. the belgian prime minister immediately reacted to this statement. he was at a loss for words. if you don't veto the decision, after that you just have to to make a pelka i shouldn't have said that. so what happened behind the scenes during the adoption of this decision and why did urban not use the right of veto. according to insiders, when negotiations with the hungarian prime minister came to an impasse, the chancellor. germany's olaf scholz told h

literally after the announcement of this decision , charles michel came out to the journalists in thehis happens very rarely, but it is obviously very common. wanted to share this news with us, and says that it is just a historic decision, and german chancellor olaf scholz in the journalist's comments stated that it addressed not least to vladimir putin. we have worked hard to prepare this european council. it is important that every member state does not oppose this decision, and that is why we were able to make this announcement tonight. we want to support ukraine, this is a very powerful political signal, this is a very... powerful political decision, and today i think about the people of ukraine, we are on their side, this decision made by the member states is extremely important for trust in the european union. we sent a clear sign of support, a sign to the courageous citizens of ukraine who defend their country, but it is also a sign for the president of russia, who must understand that the european union, its member states, should not be expected to weaken their support for ukr

went to xi, and so did charles michel , and there were many delegations , europeans also wenta to negotiate trade issues there, because they have a huge imbalance in trade there, so... the europeans came, but they also did not agree, did not agree, because the imbalance between china, what were the key issues, the trade imbalance, 400 billion, which are there, they trade there for 840, minus 400 billion dollars they have, and they say, well, we do not have equal access to your market, you have to the european market access, you even buy a party , deliver products, you have the initiative, this shock way, one belt, one way, you are already in europe, and we cannot... technologies, that is, we are building something, transfer modern technologies, and for china to also build a similar plant , for example, otherwise they will steal , well, otherwise they will copy, yes, let's say this, that's why, this first issue was trade, the second issue, so put pressure on russia to stop the war, china, said that russia is a very independent country, we we cannot press, they act. in their own

ursula vonlein, charles michel and josep barel.hina-eu summit, the purpose of which was to establish friendship and strengthen bilateral ties. something went wrong. sensational results. western misars are leaving home without a solitary slurp, experts blame the failure on the europeans themselves, who put too much pressure on china, trying to dissuade them from partnership with russia and win beijing over to their side. conflict, alexey prokin, more details, sidin pin receives distinguished guests from brussels, the head of the european commission ursula fonder and the president of the european council charles michel, without emotion, according to the protocol. footage of the meeting is like an illustration of the dry headline of the chinese global times, china eu summit. an opportunity to stabilize relationships and form consensus. while the leader of the people's republic of china spoke, his counterparts smiled and wrote something down intensively. we must adhere to the correct position of a comprehensive strategic partnership. c

head of the european council charles'. michelppealed to the leaders of the eu countries not to forget about some important obligations to ukraine ; first of all, he asked to allocate the long-promised 50 billion euros to the kiev regime as soon as possible to stabilize the budget. let me remind you that zelensky and the company have been waiting for this tranche for several months. there was a moment of confusion, laughter and the european parliamentary work moved on as usual. the dog barks, but the caravan is going somewhere. responsible tomorrow. at 30 billion euros, could unlock about a third of this amount in exchange for budapest's amenability, the deal on which it is built will go through, they also warn of setting a precedent, the less the eu respects the property rights of foreign states, the more likely it is that it will encourage other countries to encroach on the assets of western companies, and where possible, even central banks . the question is where and how they will find money to save ukraine from default next ye

and then there is the hated belgian, also the president of the european council charles michel, who hasy to act as if he is the president of europe. a visit to the white house in october was supposed to be fondelien's moment at the top. after all, she is america's sweetheart, which is why michel had to follow her. at least he wasn't wearing that weird turtleneck. it's not just a matter of diplomacy, we've collided. with the perfect storm and you can navigate this storm without using the paths or maps of the past, like the discoverers and conquerors of the conquistadors, we must invent a new world. in nomination barat from diplomacy the winner was josep barel if there is one thing that europeans have been able to count on from josepp barel since he became the head of the eu foreign policy department at the end of nineteen, it is that he will never miss an opportunity express yourself. his praise for the peaceful presidential elections in ecuador followed. how one of the candidates was killed, and his promises to send fighter jets to kiev after a full-scale russian attack on ukraine becam

the head of the european council, charles michel, announced this at a press conference following the-day summit. he stated that for making a decision, after all, on the volume of support for ukrainians. managed to push through the politicized decision to begin negotiations with ukraine and moldova on accession to the eu. of the 27 eu states , only hungary was desperately opposed. let's be clear: ukraine is not ready to spend 8 hours trying to explain to them that it is wrong to help, it is worse than not helping at all. but they could not be convinced, they had two serious arguments that i had to admit: firstly, there are 26 of them, and i am alone, and secondly, with this decision they are giving ukraine the support she needs to continue the war. the behind-the-scenes intrigues of the summit were revealed by the politician's newspaper. german chancellor olaf scholz , under a far-fetched pretext, forced viktor orban out of the meeting room. about three hours after discussions between eu leaders about ukraine's accession stalled, the german chancellor suggested to hungarian prime mini

and you cancel president charles michelle has scheduled a new summit in january to discuss financial aid for ukraine after hungry as prime minister vetoed a plan to send another 50000000000 euros to keith. but there was also some welcome use for ukraine at the summit in brussels, with leaders agreeing to begin talks with you frank. i'm joining the block of keeping the ukrainian economy afloat is no easy task as the country fights for its survival, but keeps hopes of swiftly securing 50000000000 euros. a crucial issue, funding were dashed when hungry between the plot and german talks in brussels. all their leaders say they will find a way forward, but i can assure you that to crane will not to be left without support. there was a strong will of 26 to provide the support then, and there were different ways how we can do this. so so, so we will work this out. he was not left empty handed. you repeat, union leaders decided to open membership talks with the war to a nation which has long harboured hopes of joining the club. budapest was quick to claim h wells and tone boards of that. yes.

charles michel sends a strong message to kyiv. >> if one country would hesitate or some would not inhe position on what's on the table, it is important that the formal position to make a decision. >>> chinese industrial output surges at the fastest pace in november, but lagging demand in the property sector has officials eyeing further stimulus measures. >>> good morning. it's friday. wrapping up a busy week with the central bank activity. we have been getting the pmi numbers. the december flash numbers for a host of european countries. germany and france got through the flash pmi for the eurozone as a whole and it is not good. it is a lower number for december than what we hehe had november. it is 47 against 47.6. it is ticking downward. the flash services pmi number came in at 48.1 for december. a little bit higher than the november reading of 48.7. still be helow the 50 mark. in terms of other data and comments and what we are hearing from one chief economist froms commercial bank saying the eurozone economy failed to see any recovery for six straight months. in terms of the emplo

blockade, and neither the vaunted eu, nor the european commission, nor the european council, nor you charles michelonderlein for you, no bar for you, no one, and we are silent about friendship, about support for the poles. in parallel with the drama around, the end of unconditional love for ukrainians, and therefore support for its actions, is unfolding. another front against the gods who descended from heaven, first polish, and now slovakia and hungary have joined the carriers blocking the border with ukraine. these are not only multi-kilometer queues on the highways, but also billions in losses. trucks are simply not allowed to pass. the authorities in kiev do not yet know how to react to these demarches. in general, this is the very case when it won’t help to go abroad. friendship is friendship, but tobacco is in dew. while the border with... a month ago, relations between poland and ukraine showed a new crack. this time it’s not even a matter of tense relations between the authorities of the two countries, but the wallets of poles who are actively losing weight. for now, in quotation marks, hum

this was announced by the head of the european council, charles michel, who was quoted by the figaroaper. but despite the enormous costs in the press. there are many doubts about the combat capabilities of nato in general and europe in particular, that’s what the times writes. europe is not ready for war with russia and could be swept away in conflict, just as the holy roman empire was broken napoleon, warned the outstanding german military historian. at the berlin defense conference, several german generals also suggested that nato would probably not be able to win the first battle of a defensive war on its eastern flank because it would be... difficult to quickly redeploy enough troops and equipment. the article presents the following arguments from experts and military personnel: european countries that are members of nato do not have enough soldiers, their arsenals are depleted, and there are great difficulties with the transfer troops over long distances. the fact that weapons warehouses are emptying is confirmed, for example, by the statement of the czech minister of defense th
