minister of foreign affairs of germany, anlena berbock before the start of the external meeting of the eu councilf foreign ministers. representatives of all. countries that are part of the eu gathered today in the ukrainian capital to discuss, including the ukrainian peace formula. on the agenda, the leader's proposal was also announced earlier. josep borel's diplomacy to assume long-term financial obligations to ukraine regarding the provision of military aid. in fact, borel already described this meeting as a high-level political debate in the ukrainian ministry of foreign affairs, a meeting of ministers the european union in kyiv was called a historic moment. the head of the relevant department , dmytro kuleba, noted that the meeting of the council of the european union is taking place for the first time outside the current borders of the eu, but literally, in its future. borders the meeting of the ministers of the european union in the ukrainian capital was monitored by my colleague roksola bochai, she is in direct contact with us. roxalana, hello, tell me what else interesting you heard toda

and how likely is it that after our homework, and in particular, this meeting of the eu foreign affairs council in kyiv, we should expect some more specific decisions from the european union. well, in particular, information appeared the day before that in december, the eu may agree to start negotiations on the accession of ukraine. politiko newspaper writes about this with reference to its sources in diplomatic circles. how likely is it that these events are connected with each other and it will really happen as the politicians write about it, you know, you want to believe that this is exactly how it will be, after all, ukraine is convincingly doing its homework on the process of joining the european union and precisely the implementation of those legislative decisions that ukraine has to make, therefore, that is why we are going very well... at a good pace, within the framework doing one's homework, well, this is confirmed by the self-screening that the ukrainian government uses, and this is an initiative of the ukrainian government , to check how quickly we complete homework and whether ever

in my opinion, it is extremely important exactly where this eu council was held, when the ministers ofeign affairs were working on the agenda of the european integration of ukraine, and on the eve of the evaluation of the recommendations , the seven recommendations given by the european union, the european commission in ukraine, which, in principle, are already from the official sources, it becomes known that by the end of the year, namely... will be, respectively the evaluation decision is positive, i really hope, from the european commission, and then accordingly the decision will be forwarded to the council. of europe, it is precisely in this context that, in my opinion, this meeting is extremely important, because before voting in the european parliament, in the parliament of the european union, we need to establish connections and synchronization with the position with all the countries of the european union as much as possible, and this meeting in in kyiv, it is extremely important, it is extremely symbolic and it indicates that the countries of the european union... are ready fo

court, the eu council meeting will take place in november, the second, in december, december 12, beforee summit of the european council on december 14-15 , at which this issue will be finally considered, and on december 14-15, the leaders of the eu countries must make a final decision on whether ukraine will receive 50 billion yes, starting from january 1, 2024, the first trance will probably not be, that is, this is the situation, but charles michel seems to me to have answered very well all the accusations of our putin enemies. also, what is important, charles michel emphasized that the leader of the security council discussed the use of frozen assets of russia on in favor of ukraine and said that they are already at the stage of final steps. ursula funderlajen, president of the european commission , added what happened recently. a very effective meeting of the finance ministers of the european union and that actually a scheme is already being considered, how through the eu budget , the funds that are frozen in european banks, russian funds, will be transferred for the reconstruction

it is not possible to reach an agreement at the level of the eu council, at the ministerial level. all this is included. for consideration by the leaders of the european union, as is currently happening. in russia, army aviation day sergei shaigum congratulated the personnel and veterans. the message on the telegram channel of the ministry of defense noted the role of the unit in resolving local and regional conflicts, as well as in the liquidation of the accident at the chernobyl nuclear power plant. separate mention is made of the actions of army aviation as part of a special military operation. the minister emphasized that the personnel are showing massive heroism and courage. while defending the fatherland, he wished him success and new achievements in his service. a solemn ceremony for students of the moscow cadet school named after sholakhov. they took the oath in the hall of fame of the victory museum. in addition, they laid flowers at the monument to honor the memory of the fallen soldiers. maria valieva will tell you more. i'm supporting rostislav, i'm entering into the ra

eu council president said this will roll into the eu which is a key topic to be discussed at the su summit it means the candidate countries have reforms to implement and they know what they need to do. on the eu side, we need to get prepared. this is the first time for many years that you have such a high level debate on such a fundamental topic. >> let's get to sylvia in granada who is monitoring the latest from the eu council. the big question, sylvia, is the future of ukraine and the role within the eu. there were talks that the discussions could start as soon as december. what are you hearing from the leaders? >> reporter: so, today we have the informal summit with the 27 heads of state. joumanna, one question for them today is enlargement of the eu. that means moldova and ukraine may become members of the bloc. this is a complicated question for the eu. this is not just do the homework and do what it takes to join the eu. the eu has a lot of homework to do. one of the debates they will have here today is how to reform the eu so it is ready to accept more members. we are talking about

for the first time since the creation of the european union meeting of the eu council of ministers fromrs takes place outside the current borders of the union. 27 eu member states delegated their representatives to the meeting of the council of ministers, which was held in kyiv. in particular, volodymyr zelenskyi, the president of ukraine, spoke about the fact that the seven eu states have not yet joined the security guarantees for ukraine, and also condemned the pause in the adoption of sanctions against russia. therefore, you and i must press, constantly press, constantly bring the time of security for europe closer, the pressure on russia is obviously not enough, dear partners, this can be seen primarily from the increase in the number of attack drones and airstrikes by russian terrorists, more joint work is needed against any forms and schemes of circumvention of sanctions by russia, any supply to russia that allows it to increase military production must stop, this is a clear interest not only of ukraine, and everyone in the world. who wants a faster end to this war. any sanctions

responsibly. today in brussels is the second day of the summit of the leaders of the eu states of the european council. there are still a number of ukrainian issues on the agenda, which the eu leaders already managed to agree on yesterday, meet espress correspondent tetyana vysotska , who works on the sidelines of the summit, good morning, so what news for ukraine from brussels can you already announce and what to expect from today? greetings christina, greetings from brussels, indeed the meeting of the european council, which is going on these days in brussels, has become difficult and rich in discussions, yesterday the leaders of the states left already after midnight and the president of the european council charles michel came to the journalists after midnight. , as well as the head of the european commission, ursula fonder, and they reported that during the first day, eu leaders were able to agree on only two agenda items , a common position on the war in the middle east, and a common position on increasing the budget of the european union from 2024 to 2027, the second issue is especially importa

clear that this discussion on the expansion of the eu, it will be three... more than once, but specifically, when we speak about the meeting of the council of the eu in murcia at the end of september, it was about the right of veto in which form to keep it, that is, the document that this worker got into the hands of journalists, that is, he proposes to deprive the member states of the veto mechanism, and that all decisions be made by a qualified majority, please tell me , this is an echo with what is happening in the un security council, with what is happening in ukraine now , with what role... the un is played by russia, that is, there is an interesting point that in case of emergency, the mechanisms of blocking a decision by one country maybe, they can stay, but in general, let them the majority decides whether these processes are not connected, this is legal advice, i think, i think that these are two different processes, which, however, were caused by one, one reason, and this reason is that, apparently, world regional institutions were built by some romantics, who believed that even... on the most difficult issues it is possible to

ministers and high representatives of the eu have come together to kyiv, but in reality they were able to gather, agree and hold this meeting in the format of the councilministers of foreign affairs. of eu affairs in ukraine, in our capital, this is a feat for them, because it is happening for the first time, and they have never traveled in such a format outside the european union and have essentially come home as if we, ukraine, are part of the european union, so here not just symbolism, but there is a very practical content and a very practical signal , and as for the discussion, we had, the president spoke with the ministers, they had an exchange of views with the prime minister, of course, i spent a lot of time with them, and gave impetus to the development of new sanctions and work on bringing the russian leadership to justice for the crime of aggression, and the allocation of additional funds for financing our defense, that is, for the supply of weapons and shells, then the entire spectrum of issues was passed, and the key, of course, membership of ukraine in the eu, we have to make a decision on the opening of negotiations by the end of the year

, not it turns out that we can reach an agreement at the level of the eu council, at the ministerial level, and all this is submitted for consideration by the leaders of the european union, as is happening now. and now about the progress of the special military operation, the enemy’s position in the arrtemov direction is successful. suppresses fpv drones. our paratroopers control and direct the drones using special vr glasses. they destroy the personnel of the armed forces of ukraine, and not only in open areas. drones make it possible to effectively strike militants, even in hiding. thanks to such uavs, it is possible to save the lives of our soldiers and constantly keep the enemy in suspense. fatal accident in kamchatka. five people died. the accident occurred in the elizovsky district. according to eyewitnesses, two suvs collided head-on, and then a fire started, the car was literally crushed, the rescuer had to extract the bodies of the dead using special equipment, and a criminal case was opened into the accident. joe biden promised to fight mass shootings in the united states,

side by side and promise to preserve this relationship, for the first time in the history of the eu councilministers is holding a meeting outside the bloc, but within the future borders, top diplomats in one voice emphasizes ukraine's place in the european union. we conduct european union to the place where the heart of europe is beating most strongly now to kyiv. the future of ukraine is in the european union, in our community of freedom, and soon it will expand, from lisbon to luhansk. ukraine is liberating its own land meter by meter and at the same time paving its way to the eu. european ministers emphasize that ukraine is successfully carrying out reforms despite russian aggression and promise that on the way to the eu, kyiv can rely on the support of its partners, and the meeting in kyiv is a significant manifestation of solidarity with ukraine and a new step to strengthen europe, which adds to it leadership - said president volodymyr zelenskyi. constantly new defense and diplomatic, political and integration economic and sanctions steps are needed, which will make our common ones str

ministry of foreign affairs, thomas bagger , blamed his polish colleagues for his absence from the eu councilsters in kyiv. that was enough a clear answer from the polish representative, who reminded germany of the good old days. angela merkel and her predecessor, what do you think is happening now, yes, because there may be a certain background of a certain tension in the relations between warsaw and kyiv, in particular because of the german issue. you know, in recent weeks, at various such meetings, conversations, i feel very strong emotional tension within different countries because of... their issues that are happening within their countries, i really don't like it, as ukrainians, i feel that the warsaw security forum is simply a reflection of what is currently happening in the internal politics of poland, other countries, various countries of the european union, i do not think that this is good, but it is not a catastrophe, you just need to think about it... where is the internal politics and where there is a strategic partnership, cooperation, everything is fine for ukraine, but of cou

both the ukrainian side and the representative of the european union called the meeting of the eu council of ministers in kyiv historic and emphasized that such an event shows russia. the unity of european states in this war. roksalan bychay, pavlo kholodov, radio svoboda. and then we will talk in detail about the historicity of the visit, what agreements were reached. maria mezyntseva, deputy head of the committee on integration of ukraine into the european union in the verkhovna rada, joined our broadcast. i congratulate you. greetings, mrs. kateryna and everyone who is watching us. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes, thank you for participating, and i hope that you will also tell us behind-the-scenes details and decisions that arose at this meeting, so how can you summarize this meeting of the yes council of ministers in kyiv, what is its historicity? well, we see that directly supreme commander-in-chief president zelensky also spoke and led a large part of the discussions, minister of foreign affairs koleb, uniting around himself the ministers of foreign affairs of the eu led by jo

poland, but things are not easy with warsaw in kiev; the day before, the polish side ignored the eu councilthe decline in relations between the countries. alena germanova, irina bliznyuk, natalya moshtakova and alexander anonichev, channel one. the focus of the government today was the development of three transport corridors, namely between. north-south, as well as in the azov-black sea and eastern directions. new highways, railway lines and sea routes are needed to significantly increase cargo transportation . krasnodar, rostov-on-don, expanded movement in the direction of the verkhniy lars checkpoint, deepening work in the seaport of makhachkala has been completed, as well as reconstruction of the bypass. and a number of other facilities have been commissioned in recent months, thanks to which the delivery of goods in some busy areas has become faster. in december, we will complete the deepening of the volga-caspian shipping canal, we expect that the total carrying capacity of the baikal-amur and trans-siberian railway will increase to 173 million tons by the end of the current of the ye

member countries, and... we must come to a consensus on some issue, for this purpose there is the council of the euat the ministerial level, all this is submitted for consideration by the leaders of the european union, as is happening now, but under pressure from washington, naturally, it has already so to speak, i tried to predetermine this is all, the position, the general position of the european union even before any discussions between the european capitals, well, yes, well, let's see, kirill mikhailovich, how events will develop, thank you very much, all the best, thank you, all the best, give it to alfabank, take it purchase immediately for a quarter of the price, choose stores on podelit.ru. it's hugely profitable in the feed. discounts up to 80% on 100 items. and also win tvs and other prizes in... you can’t want so much, you can, try the maximum for only 399 rubles, you can, remember what they told you when you decided opening a business, bionic prostheses, it ’s very difficult, but you didn’t listen, because you ’re doing everything wrong, continue, open a free account with alfabank and

last week a meeting of the eu council of foreign ministers was held in kiev. in history holding such an event outside the european union in brussels wanted to demonstrate support for ukraine, which is especially important against the backdrop of growing disappointment in the west with the failure of the counter-offensive in the ssu and the prolongation of the conflict. but i got a c grade. four ministers did not come to kyiv. latvian fell ill, hungarian went into exile. for being busy, polish for tense relations with zelensky’s team, and swedish allegedly accidentally forgot his passport and was unable to cross the polish-ukrainian border. it’s even worse that those who didn’t get there were able to agree on the allocation of 5 billion euros in aid to ukraine, which further strengthened the unrest in zelsky’s team, among whose members the word drain is increasingly heard and not in relation to water supply systems. european diplomats. in minsk they refused to visit ukrainian children in novopolotsk undergoing rehabilitation on the territory of belarus. they re

negotiations will be held with each member state of the european union, two meetings of the council of the eu will be held, this is another body that also deals with the allocation of financial aid to ukraine, the meetings of the council of the eu will be held in november 2023 and on the eve of the summit on december 12 of this year, that is, the big process is still ongoing and no decisions were planned to be made at this summit, another thing is that, of course, orbán and shitso came out as a united front against granting aid to ukraine, fito generally called ukraine the most corrupt country in the world, and orban said that ukraine will not win the war and that it is necessary to sit down at the negotiating table with putin, that is , both leaders of these countries showed themselves as expected of them, and in fact, those who, aware of the progress of the closed discussions during the summit, they unanimously declare that, except for orban and Šitsa, all other leaders of the european union states support 50 billion euros, and it has already become a matter of principle for the european un

the council of eu foreign ministers met in kiev today.the part of europe, this is a kind of gesture after the us state department confirmed the freeze. long-term assistance to ukraine, it was simply not included in the budget, however, the action of brussels support is symbolic, and nothing more over zelsky, who endlessly begs for money is increasingly mocked in the west, and elon musk’s joke provoked a political crisis. about changing moods, alexander khristtenko. the unexpected visit of eu ministers to kiev began predictably with the laying of flowers at the memorial to the dead, although the europeans were in no mood at all before the ceremony ... they kissed the head of the belgian foreign ministry hadjoy labibb, hugged the portuguese minister joao croveño, and colleagues from bulgaria simply shook hands with in response to her remark, for some reason he sighed heavily. the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, kuleba , huddled close to barel on cameras everywhere, and then, without hesitation, even admitted his desire to be surroun

the eu's foreign affairs chief, josep borrell, has told reporters at an eu foreign affairs council in the aid currently being sent in to gaza is not enough. in cairo, the secretary general of the united nations made a dramatic call in order to allow humanitarian help to enter. the first aid 20 trucks were allowed to come, 20. yesterday, there were about 20 more. but in normal times, without war, 100 trucks enter into gaza every day, so it's clear that 20 is not enough. that's the eu foreign policy chief speaking at a meeting in luxembourg about the dire need for aid to reach the palestinian civilians in the gaza strip. our correspondent rushdi abu alouf, and his family, have been displaced four times in gaza in the past two weeks. they are currently sleeping in tents in the south of gaza nearby khan younis and this was his assessment when i spoke to him earlier of the situation on the ground and just a reminder that in israel's air strikes overnight over gaza, some of those were also near khan younis in the south, where israel had asked civilians in gaza to go for their own safety. th

brussels from all previous such massive trips, this the fact that an informal meeting of the eu foreign affairs councilheld for the first time outside the european union, but here again... first of all, we are talking about such a beautiful picture for both external use and internal consumption. but if we talk about statements, then probably , uh, the most interesting, high-flown statements were barel’s statements regarding the provision of military assistance to ukraine, yes, that the european union will continue to increase financial assistance - to kiev, regardless of what is happening in the united states, well, plus he too said that in brussels they were surprised by the decision made by the american and the yesovets... we have to regret this, well, it sounds funny in general, because it is clear that in the west it is not brussels that determines the course of this conflict, but washington, so not very it’s clear who the eu wanted to deceive with such statements, perhaps only themselves, but i don’t know, maybe the european union is aiming to compensate for washington’s assistance to ukraine, but

tanks, but from warsaw they have kiev all not easy, the day before the polish side ignored the eu foreign counciltions. my absence is a partial expression of this, our society's trust in current policies. i will not suggest to the ukrainian authorities what needs to be done; our relations are long-term and complex. the ukrainian side will definitely find a solution if there is such a will on its part. at the same time, the head of the polish foreign ministry added that in order to reverse relations , ukraine would need titanic efforts. zelensky needs approximately the same amount to also force his own people to fight for him. footage from the streets of kiev, mobilization right in the middle of the brezh road in the ranks of the armed forces, some western equipment. in continuation of the footage from berlin, several thousand people celebrated the day of german unity with an action against arms supplies to kiev, a new package was announced just the day before, it contains equipment and ammunition, but there are no taurus aircraft cruise missiles with a flight range of up to 500 km. zelsky is begg

the european council president charles michelle admits that tel aviv has broken international law but fails to indicate that the eu will take any action. in response. jerome huse reports out of brussels. european council president, charles michelle chaired emergency video conference of eu leaders on tuesday night to discuss the middle east crisis. michelle was asked after the meeting if israel has broken international law by bombing a hospital in gaza city, resulting in a huge number of deaths. we did this information when we were together uh during this virtual meeting with the leaders. it seems. to be uh to be confirmed and attack against civilian infrastructure is not in line with the international law. seconds later european commission president ursela vonderlayen offered this response. i need confirmation, i cannot comment in at this moment. vonderlion is facing criticism over her apparent biased handling of the crisis in favor of israel. the president of ireland michael d. highgens seen here meeting vonderline at the end of last year, claims she has engaged in a quote, thought. and even reckless set of actio

eu leaders. the european council president, charles michel, who will chair the meeting, he said that the deterioratingn in gaza is of great concern. so today eu leaders will be very keen to show a united front. they are expected to call for humanitarian pauses in the fighting so that the eu can work with regional partners on the ground and help deliver food, water, fuel and medical care. they also hope that humanitarian pauses will create safe conditions for the release of more than 200 hostages that are being held by hamas, many of whom are european nationals from germany, austria, portugal and france. but the issue is that those divisions within the eu remain, with some countries like germany, austria and the czech republic with a very strong pro—israel stance. other countries like spain and portugal are more attuned with the palestinian cause. and is there a quiet understanding that if a decision is taken to call with one voice for a humanitarian pause this may be largely symbolic because it comes after another attempt yesterday at the un security council to agree either on a pause, as a united nat
