same day, the parliament received the first of a series of anti-corruption bills, which the european commission focus on the development and fulfillment of obligations to the european union in the coming week and months however, the prime minister's primary reaction was skeptical regarding the decision of the european parliament. we think that this is from the field of jokes . we don't laugh there because it's a boring joke, and we are on direct contact yuliya osmolovska diplomat mrs. yuliya we congratulate you good day we also see in the frame of dmytro tuzhanskyi, director of the institute of central european strategy dmytro greetings , good day gentlemen after all, we can connect it with hungary's constant defense of russian interests . let's try to explain to the audience what exactly mr. orban is doing in hungary and why the european union is now saying that hungary is no longer a democracy, dmitry, let's let's start with you, if it's simple, viktor gorban is engaged in maintaining power in hungary, he has been in power for an unprecedentedly long time, now he is in power the longest of al

discrimination uh countries of asia africa latin america unacceptable decision of the european commission led to the fact that countries outside europe do not receive fertilizer. although they are regularly supplied to russia , of course, we will consider an offer for our european partners in the supply of fertilizers. uh, addressed to them, but the issues need to be resolved. e on the supply of fertilizers to other countries. by the way, uh, i would like to ask you to support the supply of belarusian fertilizers and a large amount of our fertilizers. there, in my opinion, hundreds of thousands of tons accumulated. uh, in some ports in european countries, our speech producers, in my opinion, are first of all ready, in general, on a free basis, to transfer them to developing countries that are in dire need of these fertilizers . obviously, the future of the grain deal in its current form is a big question. putin and erdogan intend to discuss its prospects well, now the message we from donetsk delivered a blow to the kalinin hospital, it is located not far from the central embankment from d

pictures of torture of local residents special report by bbc correspondents the president of the european commission addressed the european parliament with an annual message special guest the first lady of ukraine with military honors in london farewell has begun with queen elizaveta ii, the ukrainian military struck a concentration of russians and russian equipment in the area of ​​the city of gola prystan and the village of duchany in the kherson region. this is reported by the operational command of the south in luchany, which is located near the border with the dnipropetrovsk region. convoys of russian vehicles in other areas of the region along the kakhov bridge and the pontoon crossing in the antoniv bridge area, and today president volodymyr zelenskyi arrived in de-occupied izyum of the kharkiv region, and he took part in the ceremonial raising of the ukrainian flag . also during the trip, zelensky presented state awards to ukrainian military personnel and talked with the mayor of izyum, what we see is shocking, although we have already seen it in buch on the first de-occupied territories, ze

we hope that the european commission will also be ready next year, but when exactly ?t is, it is not a victory, not about whether we will be in the european union or not, the decision has already been made, we will definitely be in the european union . european law will be the same, in fact , as our national legislation, accordingly, the negotiations in different sections will concern the extent to which eu legislation is currently implemented in us, what exactly we should implant in order to fully live by the norms by which the european union lives and uh, the main goal there for ukraine, and the main subject of the bargain - it will be to choose transitional periods and terms for the most difficult reforms that must be carried out, because of course, a very large load always goes on business and therefore each country is trying to apply what is possible and the scope of trade at these negotiations and as many transitional periods as possible e. those negotiations will be held, and they will be very technical and very detailed, and will dig deep into every aspect of e

because what the european commission is saying is that they are laying their their framework for such a price. a cab. the european union has decided to impose a ban on all russian seaborne oil by the end of the year. but they want to make sure that if their prices go up, that other countries will not pay too much so that put in still has enough money to continue with the war. however, we see that some countries like china and india already are getting a discount from russia just to, to make sure that they are buying russian oil. so all that is very complicated and there are a lot of questions that the european commission still needs to answer our bosses. beautiful exam phenomena there. thank you. hi alex, i'm a now the results of the so called referendums, held in for regions of ukraine occupied by russia are now in officials installed by moscow, say between 87 and 99 percent of residents voted yes to being annexed by the russian federation. some separatist leaders have already formerly requested incorporation. ukraine's president has vowed to defend all his country's territory and fo

in brussels, the minister was asked by the european commission to present its proposals. was expected that european officials would discuss the possibility of limiting prices specifically for russian fuel, but there was unity on this issue. no exclusion of a specific source of natural gas. the simply absurd marginal price will help push russian natural gas out of the european market. and this is unacceptable. if this happens, it will lead to an increase in prices in hungary does not in any way support the vision of a limit due to risks to the energy supply of other participating countries. the eu has also spoken out against a limit on gas pipeline transportation. the fine shell times reported at least 10 european ones earlier. push for a price ceiling for everyone suppliers, not only from our country among them poland italy and greece another bloomberg news agency wrote germany and austria against the maintenance of the russian gas price ceiling, as the head of the austrian. mida even allowed the gradual lifting of sanctions on our part, but he immediately misspoke. it is

for now, the european commission of the european union and nato - 7.5 billion, i will remind you thatg for the next five years, the eu should hide from the eu direct subsidies to hungary in the amount of 40 billion euros ms. maria, please, you know. well, this is not the first time that hungary has already started such tenders. in fact, in june , such a discussion began within the european commission within the european union about the change of voting, yes, as if there was a qualified majority and there was no country of the right-wing branch. such statements of the member states of the european union well, they are getting closer to such a decision, especially those related to international political issues, ah , what, hmm, orban understands who he is fueled by, how he is fueled, and who he is ideologically, and this is really already the european union. if he had realized the threat from the middle and it's just that ukraine is currently such a-ah, i will try to be a model of a civilizational aspect of a-ah that stands up for whom european values ​​and now the european union is ret

decisively moving towards accession the european union announced this, the president of the european commission during her visit to kyiv , ursula fonduline met with volodymyr zelenskyi, the day before they discussed the restoration of ukraine, the reconstruction of infrastructure, european integration and financial support. work, these 5 billion will arrive in october and we have been working on our next steps, a new package of military aid to ukraine for 600 million dollars were approved by the united states of america, us president joe biden signed the order , it is reported on the white house website, everything is said in particular that the funds will go to defense equipment and services of the ministry of defense and military training of the armed forces of ukraine. in the lviv region, as reported by the regional police, a woman driving a volkswagen crashed into a column of military equipment , it happened on the kyiv-chop highway in the city of brody a seven-year-old boy, a passenger in a passenger car, died at the scene. in addition, the driver and three other passengers, including two

this was ursula von der leinen, the head of the european commission. she spoke to the european parliament. there should be oleksandr kharchenko with us, we will talk with him about the main messages we heard from rusula von der lein, director of the energy research center oleksandr greetings good morning oleksandr let's start from the beginning, yes, we won't talk about schools, but 100 million euros for the reconstruction of schools is also important for us, it is important for us to vote on electricity for europe, well, this is on the topic of mountains, on the topic of food, let's start, she said about free e-e access to the european market of the eu and for it is also important to us, because we are going to sell electricity, in particular , do we not sell electricity anymore, oleksandr, what can it do in terms of energy, give us free access to export electricity or other very important free access to the markets of the european union and the union of markets, this is a very important direction for ukraine, first of all, and it is absolutely correct

policy, by the way, which was announced and fundamentally founded by the same president of the european commissionin, and in fact, this crisis will help to speed up the implementation process of the european green course, which is laid down in key directives, therefore, it is a very positive moment for the future of europe and ukraine as a future an integral part of the european union, but how far is the future, or how far is oleksiy, if we are talking about the same european green course, our dependence on fossil fuels from oil and gas, the european green course is such a fundamental thing, and it was planned to abandon or minimize, yes, to a certain percentage, the use of coal, gas, and nato coal is the first dying type of fossil fuel by 2050, oil is the second, and gas has been mastered as a transit fuel as the least harmful to the climate when burning gas, the chances of its existence are more if it is compensated, you are allocated, for example, there are technologies for catching emissions, this is one karcher carbon, and it is currently being developed, that is, under certain conditions of

but the european commission has not said who might have been behind the suspect at separate arch. today. ms oller, who is everything is being done to try to identify the origin of these events and of the explosions on the node string pipelines. so we will have to get to the bottom of this before being able to say anything on the origins of these explosions is okay. and who is responsible for though super low vision. this is extra joy, a responsibility. as europe largest natural gas supplier, norway thief, it will beef up the security efforts in there to infrastructure eastern. the events in the baltic sea have resulted in the government deciding to further strengthen al preparedness around on and offshore infrastructures to prevent. another incident in 4 squadron or by the military will be more present and visible near our oil and gas installations. insulin enrollment really does have warrant of retaliation for any attack on europe in our t networks. it here to reveal, there is no doubt that this is very serious. it is not a coincidence. this was planned. that is what i am or othe

guttersch, to influence the decision of the european commission and not in words, but in deeds, demand from them to demand from the colleagues of the european commission that they remove these restrictions, which are obviously discriminatory restrictions against developing states. and they would provide access to russian fertilizers to these markets. in addition, the day before yesterday also informed mr. guttariasha that 300,000 tons of russian fertilizers have accumulated in the seaports of the european union. we are ready for free. pass them on to developing countries well, that's about vladimir putin's statement made at the sco summit , that's just now, well, of course the entire summit. this is not only a statement by the russian president, but here 14 heads of state have a rich program of his coverage of all this in our reportage. friday is the main day of vladimir putin's work at the summit, what is today here in samarkand for the first time in 3 years? well, that is first, the pandemic passes, in full-time format, the council of heads of state of the shanghai cooperation organi

vera yurova, vice-president of the european commission, european commissioner for values ​​and transparencyt putin is, she also told about this in an interview with radio svoboda, listen to if ukraine or believe the higher if ukraine continues to liberate its own territories and then putin can actually act with nuclear weapons, which is particularly possible the reaction of the eu and the characters note i personally do not believe in this i believe that putin is not a collective suicide this is my personal point of view experts say that putin is unpredictable now because his plan quickly to seize ukraine failed and therefore he needs actions to save face and also some i don't know better reasons to maintain the support of his citizens as we see in russia protests continue , social discontent is growing, this is something putin is not used to, so i think we said quite clearly that in the past we already had nuclear blackmail as a threat and that now we really see an escalation so according to experts everything is possible but we are not going to play with such a threat now we hear from nat

the european commission chief announced a range of measures in her annual state of the european address, including -- could raise 140 billion euros. the commission president set to discuss the continuation of eu aid with president zelenskyy. hearing from the european commission president, urszula vendor line. >> it is wrong to receive extraordinary record revenues and profits benefiting from war and on the back of our consumers. in these times, profits must be shared, and channeled to those who need it most. and therefore, our proposal also includes the fossil fuel electricity producers who have to give a crisis contribution, and overall, our proposal will raise more than 140 billion euros for member states to cushion the blow directly. >> the european commission president covering the story for us from brussels, our correspondent. >> european leaders gathered here to reassure people they will get through this winter without shivering in the cold and the dark, and they will be cushioned from the blowback of the eu sanctions against russia. that is what this planned reform of the electri

ukraine is already a candidate member of the european union and indeed, the president of the european commissionfirmed that ukraine is moving extremely quickly into the european union, and this really impresses both europeans and all other international there are no partners, i hope that this movement will be much faster than i think, there are a lot even here in ukraine well, we will already talk about how important was the macro-financial assistance that was voted by the european commission, the european parliament, 5 billion euros in a total amount of 9 billion, and ukraine will receive this is extremely important, and by the way, this is the answer to those requests that president zelenskyi made repeatedly, because there is really an extremely important sensitive moment now, ukraine must not only stand up, ukraine must win, and as a result of this victory , the european union must also win. europe and all the democratic wars of the world, and therefore the entire democratic world must help ukraine with weapons and money , and of course, with the geopolitical support that we have. to your wor

well young, we just heard the european commission talking about moving to chili, moving to mexico, some of us production. what countries are interesting to the us right now? yeah, and maybe also a to have one of word to him on the reasons white corporations for example, are looking at some other destination. so, i mean, there had been some political or clustered side, but then clearly also all the lockdown and china have been them hurt for, for some, a corporation. so, well, what country is might to benefit? where might production come to depends a little bit on the industry. if you look at the tech world, if you look go at google, apple for incense or samsung, they're looking at countries like good ma'am, like india. a for instance. but then also look at the fashion industry. they already had been a movement towards the middle america, honduras guatemala of, for example, that's at least where some u. s. a fashion accompanies some start production, and that mexico is another destination when it comes to semi. conductors said built for the u. s. and the global market are written down jus

they are all that the european commission has now rolled out will be weakly laminated.is, they, of course, will formalize this in some kind of agreement, because you need to understand what is there, what happens first and the price of gas. and now we have dough, as if we all know very well that two main directions work. this is a turkish stream. it is, accordingly, the balkan stream, and now the whole thing is flowing through ukraine. this is approximately accordingly, as we have already said, there are 80, there are 3 million barrels 8.3 million cubic meters per day, and so there it is the cheapest gas, in principle, most of the countries that receive it are not very happy with some restrictions from above. why because as a result they will lose these volumes that are now going on who opposes? the czech republic , by the way, only chairs ours with the european union, by the way, it is she who holds the council and she has convened an emergency meeting, respectively, and they are already opposed to accordingly, some of the channels were on top, and the ceilings why? be

although so far the european commission has stated that there is no final decision on gas, and in theoming weeks i will continue to work within the european union. well, look , the european commission proposes five points that will allow europeans to survive gas problems. moreover, these proposals also apply to household enterprises. the first point is the limitation of the price of russian gas. let's buy gas from russia at a fixed low price, which is lower market and exchange. several times the second point is less to use the light of electrical appliances and to reduce the temperature in the rooms concerns. these are the so-called daily peaks in the morning and evening, that is, to reduce energy consumption both in homes and at enterprises. the third point concerns the energy company, which uses inexpensive fossils to generate, for example, coal, all their excess profits will see an additional tax to collect in the form of the so-called eu solidarity fee such is waiting for other companies that used, for example, windmills. they are also collecting solidarity and beyond. it is from

the european commission has not agreed on a price ceiling for gas from the russian federation ; it will present new energy proposals next week, european commissioner. simpson here, sorry, yes, but in fact i can say to another, i just had to react to the beginning for there and so on. and this is not the biggest thing that worries the uk now, let alone the rest of the world. you know right here a lot was said. oh, military assistance to ukraine and how someone supposedly counts or does not count on victory. you know, i ask myself one question. yes, and who in europe okay, let's leave america for now who in europe really wants victory in this war for ukraine well, really, well , imagine for a second. let's put it aside, ukraine won this war, whatever that means. yes, i just can’t understand that, well, now, she won, which means the country. yes, there are still 40 million now. armed to the teeth by themselves yes, evil nationalist, if you look for the nazi hungry in a destroyed country, and now, but on the border with poland with hungary and slovakia, they really all want poland in german

and that also expected to sign off on the proposal that the european commission put forward to reduce the use of electricity, specifically at peak times to try and bring prices dine across the european union. the w correspond jack park, thank you very much for your analysis of germany says a bull kept the price of gas and electricity out of a 200000000000 euro plan to provide relief to consumers and businesses. after weeks of debate about what measures the german government should and would take to help customers through winter of spiraling energy prices. finally, at clear decision from the chancellor who spoke via video link because of the positive cova test yet skipped to so many. we're talking about price cap for gas, but for that purpose we have now set up a committee that will come up with concrete suggestions. and in a very short time, the c emitter is it's, we've now put in place the means to lower prices for consumers. all over the country for families, for pensioners, for traits, people, but also for businesses big and small. and that's what desperately needed now. so we can

which ended in making peace with moscow because it is an aggressor country the president of the european commission, ursula von derlianska, said this during an address to the members of the european parliament in strasbourg, france . according to her, brussels has introduced the most powerful sanctions and now the russian financial sector was supported by the life support apparatus . well, the russian economy is in ruins, mrs. fund derlyan also emphasized that the european union will continue to provide financial assistance to ukraine and also warned europe in particular and the world that they are in for not easy times. things immediately after the speech, the president of the european commission went to kyiv . volodymyr zelenskyi and will discuss very important issues for us and for europe. the european commission plans to consider the issue of reducing hungary's funding of at least its state apparatuses , bloomberg journalists reported today with reference to their own source. the reason brussels is worried about the increase in cases of bribery in hungarian state structures, the european commis

this is the third visit of the head of the european commission. she came with josep barrel to hand over to zelensky the application form of the candidate country for eu membership, now the purpose of the visits. assess how mature the country is in order to be awarded such an honor for modern ukraine, where they are so worn with their independence, the main thing is, and even the state-forming dream is profitable to sell their independence, for example, dreams rarely come true to brussels, but as practice shows, they can feed the population for a long time. we are on way to ah membership we are on the path to membership full membership in the european union i 'm sure. this will be one of the most important victories for our country. we agreed that we should work hard so that ukraine has a more developed business and more profit. this is a direct path to a single european market for ukraine. zelensky was very touched by the estonian, the father of the sikas of the eu ambassador in kiev, and zelensky treats melons and watermelons with what was served

we also know that the european commission has unblocked the supply of russian fertilizers and liftedanctions and we welcome such decisions unconditionally, but uh, 10 in august, the european commission issued a clarification, so the issue, it turns out, is that only countries can buy our fertilizers. european union and the supply of fertilizers of our fertilizers, as well as belarusian ones, through the port of european countries to the same developing countries in the market of asia africa latin america is still prohibited. this is a direct violation of the agreement, one of the guarantors of which was, by the way, the secretary general, the un european commission does not act in the interests of those countries that are experiencing food shortages, but solely in their own interests. here's to myself get russian fertilizer. and when they don’t let them get it, it’s strange to say that it was russia who organized the goal, although moscow is ready to transfer fertilizers free of charge to countries in need, but so far the blocked parties continue to accumulate in european ports. uh,

european commission.limit the income of low-cost electricity producers, oil and gas companies in europe also did not hide from the all-seeing eye of brussels, they will be obliged to pay a solidarity contribution. well, the funds will be directed to further subsidies to networkers. however, on the issue of the price ceiling for russian gas in europe , unity, to put it mildly, is not in favor of france, the netherlands, sweden, denmark and finland against. not only hungary, slovakia, the czech republic, but also germany, the largest economy of the european union, appeared at the same time and the third trend, those who promote the idea of ​​​​a price ceiling for all of gaza in the european union, is represented by italy, poland and the belgian ministry of energy with the latter, the idea of ​​​​a total ceiling was put forward by rome and warsaw, the belgian ministry of energy supported it, and the head of the european commission. no, experts point out that the concept of a ceiling on all gas is unlikely to

eat an example of this selfishness, the decision of the european commission to lift sanctions on russianertilizers. we know how important fertilizers are for solving the food problem, the very decision to lift the sanctions we welcome, of course, but it turns out that these sanctions are in accordance with the permit with according to the clarification of the european commission dated september 10 this year, only the member states of the european union are exempted, only they can purchase our fertilizer. but what about the developing poorest countries in the world? taking advantage of the presence of the deputy head of the secretary-general of the united nations, ms. de carle, i would like to request the secretariat. well, the day before yesterday i spoke about this from the general secretary of the exchange organization. nations mr. guttarin, an influential decision of the european commission and not in words, but in deeds, demand from them that from the colleagues of its cancer commission demand that they, uh, remove these restrictions, which are obviously discriminatory restrictions a

and what pleased me is that i heard now from the president of the european commission that she absolutely clearly notes this trend that will continue to happen and to be honest, well, i just want to applaud very, very much very correct tests. that is, it will be possible to record this success and further reduce this percentage to 9%, yes, these are correct, after all, but france says that they have reserves for two years, er, it is on reserves, they are leaving. have they already reoriented themselves with supplies from other countries countries well to be honest, it was france that had no problems at all, and at the most, the largest share of france’s dependence on russian gas was 12-12%, for them, in general, russian good deliveries did not matter much, they have other sources and now they are there they just turned around in the air and adjusted the supply from other directions, it is much more difficult for germany, germany is really in a very difficult situation, but we must admit now that from all the shortcomings that we see there in other directions, it is in the gas direction th

in the end, our colleagues, the european commission, will have enough to correct this mistake. quarter of russian gas supplies will be paid for in rubles, this became known following a meeting between vladimir putin and recep taip erdogan in the fields, sco summit discussed the situation in ukraine in syria and the caucasus and the grain deal. primarily. i would like to thank you again for the contribution that you are making and have made to the implementation of the food program. you also mentioned this today. i mean from ukrainian grain and let's hope. indeed, that a significant part of it, while this can not be achieved. still go through the food program. a for the poorest countries , our agreement on the supply of natural gas of russian origin with payment for 25% of these deliveries in russian rubles. questions, as far as i understand, have been agreed that work in this regard will also take place, uh, in accordance with our agreements. hello, the senate program of the russian studio 24 is on air, yuri bogdanov and my colleague vera krasova works in the federation council

but the decision of the issue of russian fertilizers on the part of the european commission of the presidentled the quote ugly and shameful, since on the one hand it seemed to have removed the forbidden acquisitions of the european union, but on the other hand, only for eu members, this is generally an unprecedented ugly decision. i would say from the outside. ah, the european commission. it's shameful to remove. uh, lift the ban on the purchase of our fertilizers. but only for our own countries for the eu member countries but really but what about the poorest countries in the world, what about the rhetoric that all our joint efforts should be aimed at preventing hunger in these poorest countries. it's all bluff just to solve their selfish tasks and problems that are created. by their own hands and the area, uh, food supply and the area. power engineers created problems. now solve them at someone else's expense. but it's just a mess but i hope common sense. in the end, our european commission colleagues will have enough to correct this mistake. while the sco summit in samarkand continued in
