eu instead. josep borella may become estonian prime minister kaia kalas, and the place of president of the european councilby ex-prime minister of portugal antonia costa. candidates for top positions in the eu, the leaders of the 27 member countries of the bloc already discussed at the beginning of this week at the summit in brussels, they are also preparing for the transfer of power at the summits to hungary in the next six months. our colleague in brussels, olena abramovych, will provide more details. a new leadership of the bloc is being formed in brussels. traditionally, every 5 years , the european elections are held here the heads of all european institutions change, and sometimes their approval is delayed for more than six months. this year, the leaders of the key largest countries held a series of meetings before and immediately after the elections. german chancellor scholz, french president macron and italian prime minister meloni agreed on the main candidates at the g7 summit in italy, and they went to brussels for an informal dinner on monday with a ready decision and the hope that negotiations

it is important to be in time, because from july 1 i will be presiding. the eu council will include hungary, which has repeatedly questioned ukraine's future membership in the eu. at the same time, precisely because of hungary's objections, the representatives of the eu countries were unable to agree on recommendations for the start of negotiations on ukraine's accession to the european union. he told about it the european diplomat was not named to interfax ukraine. discussions are supposed to continue next week. we talk about this further with maria ionova, people's deputy of ukraine from european solidarity. and a member of the committee on foreign policy and interparliamentary cooperation, who joins our broadcast. mrs. maria, good evening to you. glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. today, hungary once again blocked the approval of recommendations on the start of negotiations on the country's accession to the european union. the formal reason is this insufficient implementation of recommendations on ensuring the rights of national minorities, and what is the informal reason? well, i guess

belgium is in the eu council and managed to hold both conferences, you know that moldova has been going and going with ukraine in the same package, it is meant in terms of application for accession and also assessment of the progress of both countries in terms of reforms. so ukraine expects that the screening will be completed by the end of this year, then the procedure will proceed in such a way that clusters, that is, negotiating chapters, will be opened, accordingly, a decision will be needed to open them all. members of the european union, and in order to consider this or that cluster closed, all member states, including hungary, must also give their consent to this. stefanishny was asked today how ukraine plans to convince hungary not to block this process, because you know that this conference in particular could not take place, it was intrigue to the last, will this all happen at all, since hungary delayed the approval of the negotiating framework for ukraine, the document that actually defines the principles on which the negotiations will take place, and wanted to include its de

policy, well, as you know, the european parliament shares its legislative functions with the council of the eudopts laws, let’s remind our viewers how high the role of the european parliament is in the european system of governance, well, the european parliament is one of the institutions along with the council of the eu and the european commission. and also a fourth the european court, of course, and yes, it shares legislative functions, but at the same time, unlike most parliaments in the world, including our federal assembly, it does not have legislative initiative, that is, european deputies can talk a lot, but they cannot put forward a bill in their name maybe, this right belongs only to the european commission. and europe, the influence of the greens, it is quite active, it goes to coal, so it personally seems unlikely to me that somewhere in the foreseeable future in any country of the european union or even beyond its borders, a party specifically, the green party can win a single victory, no, of course, moreover, it turned out that everything... in the eu council, which will begin ver

drew attention to changes in the eu council regulations rbc's attention. this regulation, it was stated that eu financial institutions should block transfers that involve russian sanctioned banks. and these are almost all the major participants in the russian market, including sberbank, vtb, alfabank, t-bank, and the former tenkov. now it is clarified that eu countries can lift the block on payments - quote, subject to conditions. which they deem appropriate, more specifically, two conditions must be met: firstly, the transfer had to be carried out between individuals or companies that are not under sanctions, and secondly, it had to come from a non-sanctioned bank, but the sanctioned bank was only an intermediary, the transfer from the sanctioned bank may be unblocked, but then the recipient of the money must be a citizen of the eu or switzerland. the document specifically emphasizes that the commission can accept money stored in european deposits in the same way as other supranational bodies previously did on other platforms. poskalkova noted that now th

loshka dyoktya for zelensky and his allies decided... to add after the summit on june 17, the eu councilnnounced the creation of a commission to combat corruption and theft of aid supplied to ukraine. how long will it be? in more than two years? what is the commission? what kind of corruption? there is not corruption in ukraine, there is banditry that has grown into terrorism. yes, by the way, this is exactly what always happens. absolute permissiveness and impunity, which at first. zelensky, and they understand that this money is simply going into some kind of black hole. well, as for the scale of the theft of their transatlantic nature, no one , of course, has doubted this for a long time. apparently, in kiev they expected to end the tour with a triumph, the so-called peace conference, as they call it in ukraine, in switzerland on june 15-16, but something went wrong, it turned out exactly the opposite. a complete fiasco, by the way, in addition to our assessments, this is exactly how the western press itself views it, i would say the ukrainian one, only in ukraine there has long been

last week, eu council members gathered at dinner to make a decision on the new leadership of the europeanion, but the others did not like the attempt of the centrist bloc, the european parliament, to impose their candidates, especially this step infuriated the italian prime minister george miloni. so such a distribution looks unlikely, especially when the right-wing group has overtaken macron’s coalition in terms of the number of deputies in the european parliament. the leaders of france, germany, poland, the netherlands, greece and spain, three of which represent a centrist coalition, before dinner drew up their vision and presented their candidates. this team included ursula fondelien, who, in their opinion, should remain in her position. arthur costa of portugal will become president of the european council. in order to act asymmetrically to the efforts that our enemies are making, at least so that france in its overseas departments does not have peace of mind, we know that... in a number of these island states, and in fact french colonies, although formalized de facto, it seems like p
