section of these negotiations will be difficult, in other eu countries dozens of people participated in it, hundreds, it's not just that a state delegation was approved there, and it conducts negotiations with eu officials there, because the european union is a huge, huge apparatus, realistically speaking, each department... deals with its own problems, works carefully, each department consults with all countries, members of the european union, the european union puts forward its proposals, each country that is part of of the european union, and it is clear that those countries that are far from ukraine, there are the countries of the iberian peninsula, let's say portugal and spain, they have fewer questions for us than the countries of central europe, on the other hand. are no less politically involved in the russian-ukrainian war, because it is very far from them, and when even our politicians carelessly say that ukraine protects everyone in europe and in nato from the russian federation, it is obvious that the people living in madrid or lisbon, statements act differently than on people who are in warsaw and budapest, but there are eco

that today there are no loud statements, no one will not accept ukraine into the eu; on the contrary, the ukrainian delegation ukrainian goods again flooded the european union, exceeded the very quotas that were established, so they are now being introduced protective duties, this was naturally not received well by the ukrainian delegation, and what kind of association negotiations on joining the european union are there when brussels is doing this here. olga. thank you very much, nastya, head of our european bureau anastasia popova, brussels is on direct line. i only look at ukrainian ones. refugees in europe, i think, but there is a country called canada, which has always said: “we are a new homeland for ukrainians, we are always ready to accept ukrainians in our land, who is preventing canada from giving quotas for their entry, however, there is a lot of undeveloped land there, labrador is the entire undeveloped wild peninsula, there are no cities north of churchill, and this is approximately the center of canada, it would seem, they are building." that is, half of the american voters are ready to vote for

mandate, the european commissioner, that is, the eu minister, in the field of justice, and our former colleague poparieu, a member of the estonian delegation former minister of culture and sports of estonia, that is, all three personnel are important, interesting with... their own victories in professional life, and the ukrainian delegation will vote for the one who will win, in principle, we continue consultations, i am sure that this is an important election, and i think that they will have two rounds, if very briefly. and mrs. maria, i wanted to talk with you about another historical event, or one of the historical events for our country, which will actually begin tomorrow, june 25. negotiations between ukraine, the european union, and moldova regarding accession to the european union. still, if we talk about this historical context, is it actually a more formal date, or is it, relatively speaking, really the beginning of that path difficult, perhaps, which we will have to overcome in the next few years, and the second question, in your opinion, is how long will it take us to achieve this goal, for which many millions have fought, and m

european union the day before in luxembourg, the ukrainian delegation, together with representatives of moldova , began negotiations on accession, but euemphasize that consultations are not limited in time and do not set any specific deadlines. for example, turkey has been leading them for 19 years. deliveries of american weapons to the ssu threaten further escalation of the situation, but defense minister andrei belousov pointed this out to the head of the pentagon during a telephone conversation. how reported in our military department. the negotiations took place at the initiative of the united states. the pentagon noted that lloyd osten stated the importance of maintaining communication between the russian and american military. the conflict in ukraine was mainly discussed. this is austin's first conversation with andrei belousov after his appointment as minister. vladimir putin awarded orders for the courage of the police officers who took part in repelling the terrorist attack in dagestan, for courage, bravery and devotion to duty, 20 employees of the ministry of internal affairs were awarded, 15 of them posthumously. at the cost

eu will begin. this was contested by hungary until now, and now it is a publicized fact, so the conference had a powerful political charge and the third item - the polish delegation. it's no secret that we were also there, you, maria, were at this conference, you could see how the polish delegation, like me seems to have demonstrated poland's high involvement, it was the largest. participated in the events in different ways. with a total of over 100 people from different sides, as the head of the council for cooperation with ukraine, i acted on behalf of prime minister donald tusk and tried to organize as many events as possible in parallel with the official program. this polish-french breakfast to help ukraine, where our joint steps were declared and the polish-slovak meeting with the vice prime minister of slovakia and the polish-german meeting of local self-government and very solid negotiations with energy recovery and new approaches, it is said that putin's attack on ukrainian infrastructure has caused a crisis in energy, and it is not known at the moment how critical the situation may be in winter, how the country will survive this winter at all. there were

delegation of ukraine to the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe. well, we remind you that today we are asking you whether you believe that ukraine will join the eu within 10 years, if you believe, then please call the number free of charge 0800-211-381 if you do not hang up. there is no hope for that, then call free of charge on the number 0800 211 382. i can already see from the chat of our broadcast that the opinions of ukrainians are very popular. some of them question in general the form in which the european union will exist at the time of our actual entry into it, because the aggression of the russian federation and the victory of ukraine, which is the most important thing, are not yet a fait accompli. it is necessary to understand that anything can happen, especially when the political swings are turned on in the countries of our key partners and players. well, someone thinks that internally we are also not... working out enough and not doing enough in order to join the eu and be closer than we are now, by the way, there is another topic, this is that we are helped , and russian money will go, and ukrainian money, and russian money will go to uk

the eu will begin in june, which hungary has so far disputed. and now this is a publicized fact, so there was a powerful political charge at the conference and the third point - the polish delegation. it's no secret that we were also there, you maria, were at this conference, could see how the polish delegation, it seems to me, demonstrated the high involvement of poland, it was the largest such conference to date. there were about 20 local self-government bodies from two dozen business entities and banks, there were experts, there were poles in positions in international organizations. in my opinion, in total, there were more than 100 people who participated in the events in various ways, for my part, as the head of the council for cooperation with ukraine, i acted on behalf of prime minister donald tusk, and tried to organize as many events as possible in parallel with the official program, this polish-french breakfast to help ukraine, where our joint steps were announced and the polish-slovak meeting with the vice prime minister of slovakia and the polish-german meeting of local governments and very solid talks with... i i would like to dwell separately on some of the facts men

ukrainian delegation, the vice-prime minister for european integration, receives the greetings to luxembourg. the moment, however, overshadows the deal. which regularly slows down ukraine's path to the eurence could fail altogether. budapest, despite the positive assessment of ukraine's progress by the european commission, considered it unsatisfactory and delayed... the approval of the negotiating framework, without which the event would not have taken place. the issue, as always, is the rights of national minorities, and on the day of the formal start of the negotiations, the hungarian government official reminded about them. we have an 11-point list of outstanding issues based on how we see the situation with hungarian a minority in ukraine. we expect a constructive solution from the ukrainian authorities. at the conference , olha stefanishyna publicly announced... ukraine's readiness to fulfill all 11 demands of hungary and stay in touch with it in this direction. they are waiting in kyiv for a counter movement in relations. we have very high hopes for our bilateral dialogue, which will hopefully lead to hungary not blocking further decisions on ukraine's accession. we will begin th

eu being in part to blame for putin's invasion of ukraine? >> well, i was at the nato russia council before russias full scale invasion of ukraine, and the russian delegationting out all this propaganda about how they had been provoked. these are putin's justifications. and to have a british voice echoing those justifications, i think, is completely wrong. the sad truth, of course, is that from a reform candidates across the country, we've seen a whole range of really inappropriate comments, including calling into question churchill's resolute defiance of nazism, saying that somehow churchill should have appeased hitler and the truth of the matter is, people are increasingly beginning to understand that this is not necessarily a party that shares its values , and that even if its values, and that even if they did vote for reform, what it would most likely do is hold the door open for a large labour majority with all that comes with that. >> okay, but didn't isn't he right in suggesting the western world was asleep at the wheel on this? i mean, it was only in 2012 that david cameron was bringing putin along to the judo at the london olympics 2013. we had th

delegate to washington, whose interests do not always coincide with european ones and which has its own economic and political ones. election cycles. the latest appointments essentially set the official course for transforming the euork against the enemy from the east. although formally the personnel discussion is timed to coincide with the past elections to the european parliament, in essence it contradicts their results. this smacks of a coup d'etat. millions of europeans in italy, france, germany, spain voted for changes in europe, and that they are being offered the same ones. i think. this riding is not respect. war hysteria continues in the european union, ignoring the will of citizens. despite the failure of most european governments in favor of war. this hysteria doesn't just continue. proponents of the war even switched gears. the head of the hungarian foreign ministry is clearly talking about increasing military assistance to ukraine, about the just adopted new package of sanctions against russia, about plans to allocate 50 billion euros to kiev, and from the profits on frozen russian assets, money that the european bureau. orbán wants to hold it under the slogan echoing trump’s, let’s make europe great
