of europe. we want to support ukraine for that. thank you for the work of the european councilf europe for the work of president charles michel for the consensus that we sought to achieve today, because the message sent by president zelenskyi is quite a strong message . and er, it was a reaction to this, a quick reaction to such a threat, and today's decision is also, er, the adoption of granting ukraine the status of a candidate is our response to this threat that is currently hanging over this is europe, so today we united as never before and we congratulate georgia, moldova, and ukraine, because we are strengthening our geopolitical situation, we understand that countries must meet all the requirements set before them by the european commission. and we understand that we must do everything for that to support the political situation in the context that we in the context that we have now cheesemakers er all the necessary support for our friends to speed up admission to here is the video on the two-factor, this is our direct responsibility and we understand what we have to und

we know that france supports er protection of er europe of the allies and we will continue to continue to promote these visions of ours in the european council of europe we strive er we strive to contain the war to do everything possible so that the war does not spread to other territories of europe and therefore i think we er can move on a wider the political context therefore. i thank all the european institutions and our team in paris for the great work they did. i know that today they expressed their gratitude to me, but all this is the work of a large team and not only me, not only our ministers, but many representatives of our team of permanent permanent representative offices, as well as people who, er, constantly work in paris. thank you all for your dedication, er, for your work in such a short period of time, especially in the last two days, er, to all colleagues. thank you for also thank you to the prime minister of of the czech republic and thank you and wish him all the best, especially at the press conference in madrid. thank you . this is how we choose the issue of gas, we talked about the fact that there will be such response

statements seem extremely untimely considering the fact that right now, this week, the european council of europeision on ukraine's obtaining the status of a candidate for the european union. yes, but in the end, the main thing is still it is in the ukrainian parliament and this deputy of ukraine and the office of the president, he will be able to say whatever he wants for a long time, growing and increasing the number of subscribers on youtube, or will one day be told enough is enough you can already float freely and collect monetization on youtube. it seems to me that my personal opinion is that mr. arestovych is now such a lightning rod for our government that he can and does speak his opinion that worries different people. every day he affects different layers of our population and creates different, er, different new emotions, so i think that as soon as his role ceases to be so important as a lightning rod for our government, er, he will be told to stop doing it. what is he doing, but now this role is extremely important, well, first of all, because in er, essentially he is says a lot of thi

european council if not i'm not mistaken. yes, it was a meeting of the european council, one of the six key institutions of the european union. tell me what it is, because we confuse the council of europe european council. of authoritative decision -making bodies in the european union. it meets once a quarter. heads of countries enter there. countries differently depending on the constitution, depending on the system, who is the highest official in the relevant country, that is, he represents his country in the european council. in principle, it is this body that meets once a quarter, there cannot be extraordinary meetings well, in fact, this otrada, which met for the last time, had such a special start. well, it must be said that the agenda is very, very important , important in the sense that the most sensitive political issues are discussed at these meetings once again i want to say the most sensitive political issues that cannot be resolved by other bodies of the european union and you say a special meeting p ihor excuse me, was it extraordinary or what was his specialty or was there some special topic well, it was extraordinary yes and special from the point of view that in fact i

council of europe. you must understand that, unlike the european parliament, we do not have such funds, our issues are the protection of human rights, our issues are security issues, but without our issues, no further decision is adopted in the european parliament either, because our the organization unites 46 countries, practically all of geographical europe , and if such an issue passes in the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, it is much easier to carry it out for each government separately and as a whole the european parliament from their funds, yes, such decisions are being prepared precisely in the issue of temporarily displaced persons, refugees and liberated occupied territories. i think that these resolutions will be very successfully carried out, we can see what kind of support there is in the committees, and if we, the political committee, where a number of these resolutions were considered i hope that this will be a good signal to the european parliament and to each individual government to support this very position that we cannot wait for the end of the war and these issues mus

european council if i'm not mistaken. so it was a meeting of the european council, one of the six key institutions of the european union . tell me what it is, because we are confusing the council of europewhat is it, who is included in it, the european council is one of the most authoritative decision-making bodies in the european union. it meets once every quarter , the leaders of the countries enter, once again i want to say the leaders of all the member states of the european union the president, the prime minister, well, in different countries , in different ways, depending on the constitution, depending on the system, who is the highest official in the relevant country, that is, he represents his country in the european council in principle, this is this body that meets once a quarter, there cannot be extraordinary meetings . well, in fact, this is the council that met last time. it had such a special start. well, it must be said that the order is not very important, it is important in the sense that at these meetings , the most sensitive political issues are discussed , i want to say once again the most sensitive political issues that cannot be resolved by other bodies of the euro

of european diplomacy, josé borel, also congratulated the new status. let's listen to them without unnecessary comments. against the background of the war in europe and today the european councila historic decision resgrating the european union granted ukraine the status of a candidate country for membership, this is a decisive moment for the european union of ukraine and democracy on our common continent because europe is our common home russian armed aggression will not be able to deprive people in europe of living a normal and dignified life ukraine europe will win we will go through a long journey together which begins today just now we urgently begin preparations for the integration of ukraine into the european structure and at the end of membership in the european union, with this historic decision, the european union sends a powerful signal that the ukrainian people are part of the european family of nations, the future of ukraine in to the european union, ukraine and the eu continue to stand together in defense of peace, boldly everywhere, thank you , we will transport, we will pass, we will win, whatever you are, news together, we are strong in camouflage, known as co

day before, the topic of ukraine's accession to the european union will be important in june , because on june 23-24, at the meeting of the city of europe of the european council in brussels , a decision must be made as to how ukraine will join europe. will join or will it be a classical candidacy, have we been granted or is this a candidacy for candidacy, a discussion is currently underway and at the moment there are three countries that do not really support ukraine's accession to the european union and the granting of its status at this stage candidate - denmark, sweden and the netherlands in particular. well, let's hope that it was quite a fruitful visit of the removal of ursula fundalyan to kyiv and that these three countries will still be able to convince them that ukraine will still be a full-fledged a member of the european union, now let's talk about the operational situation at the front and the map of the hostilities looks like this: it's the 109th day of the russian-ukrainian war, the heaviest battles are going on in all of everodonetsk in the slavyansky and bakhmut areas, chernihiv region and sumy region again under enemy fire from the territory o

well, of course, there is the european court of human rights and it is important that despite the fact that the russian federation is no longer a member of the council of europe and despite the fact that the russian federation has made a statement that it is withdrawing from the european convention on the protection of human rights and still by september 16. it remains entirely with the european court of human rights, so there is still the possibility of filing lawsuits with the european court of human rights. and this is definitely a very important mechanism for individual complaints , for citizens . and the ukrainian initiated another process, another very important mechanism and tool - this is the creation of the e-e commission for compensation for the damage caused by the armed aggression of the russian federation, this is the so-called the tool of the kleimska mishinsta, which existed during the last decades, e.e., regarding kuwait and cancer regarding eritrea, ethiopia. now it exists regarding relations and the wound and the usa in the gas is sitting because of that. and this is a different process. - legal mechanisms that fill these gaps, because curre

of this. france speaks in french. thank you for such kind words. thank you for the discussions held today by the european commission and the council of europe, especially in relation to the response to the energy crisis, because we strive to live within the framework of the looming threat of inflation and also seeing the first economic the challenges that are before us, so thank you for the same for such a quick response because for us it was a great chance to demonstrate solidarity, especially for the financial challenges a-a-m-m from president michel already talked about how important it is to have a united political community and today before the press conference we already talked about the constructive consensus that we should have on a systematic basis, this is not only about constructive dialogue, this level is a much higher level greater because we measure the political needs of europe as well as the strategic challenges facing us . we must continue the rhythm in which europe lives, it is inevitable that we are already adapting it, but it must continue. therefore, the entire continent is european . we understand, it is from iceland to ukraine, i

of the second world war as a court to defend human rights. that might confuse people, you said the european council. the european council is the body that runs... you mean the council of europeuncil of europe. sorry... no, no, iam corrected. thank you for saying that. but the point being, only two countries has been expelled or have left the european human rights court. that was russia and greece when it was under a dictatorship. borisjohnson is saying, well, maybe we shouldn't be part of it either. this is posturing for the election. but let's be clear. you talk about this country and the rule of law, setting an example and how do we talk about russia and human rights incursions, etc... there is a class in this country, and i say this as somebody who has lived here for 12 years, that thinks it is entitled to do as it wishes and ignore the law. we saw this with partygate. now we are seeing it again. that we don't have to follow human rights law, we can do it on our own. that is a consistent theme in this government. i want to pick up on that, in truth, international human rights law is kind of voluntary. people have chosen to adopt this. but because there is no sanction and

of european diplomacy jose borel also congratulated on the granted status. let's listen to them without unnecessary comments against the background of the war in today, the european council made a historic decision in europeropean union granted ukraine the status of a candidate country for membership. this is a decisive moment for the european union of ukraine and democracy in our country. common continent because europe is our common home, russian armed aggression will not be able to deprive people in europe of the right to live a normal and dignified life, ukraine will win, europe will win, we will go through a long journey together, which begins today. membership in the european union with this historic decision the european union sends a powerful signal the ukrainian people are part of the european family of nations the future of ukraine in to the european union, ukraine and the eu continue to stand together in defense of peace. ukraine is incredibly grateful to you and to the european family. thank you. thank you . taras. cossacks after the october coup, the unr army led by peter bolbochan drove the bolsheviks out of the city." today, pavlograd is under fire, but it continues to help everyone who nee

that the european commission approved approved a recommendation in order to give ukraine the status of a candidate for joining the european union , finally, this decision of the council of europeld be adopted on 23-25 , if i am not mistaken, in june, and in general, we were told that we will have to work a little on some areas within our country and the rule of law, the constitutional court, the moments of selection, can you still decide what to do with your anti-corruption bodies and their leaders to bring them up to certain standards of legislation that concerns e-media in our country? well , you should not forget the cars here, too. and here is the first question, mr. igor er eurosceptics in our country er have already noticed what else could be here and there i don't know the preliminary conditions we have a war, we so need the support of the european union and access, in particular, to financial resources what kind of leaders of the sap and nabu do you want us? to put it bluntly, how fair do you think this remark is, igor, or is it still, despite the fact that it is difficult at the front, and we have full-scale armed aggression, internal reforms remain just as important.

terekhov informed the online meeting of the general assembly of the association of european prize-winning cities in the council of europehe pretended to speed up during the reconstruction process, they plan to create industrial parks in kharkiv to attract investments, as well as build new neighborhoods and transport junctions using modern technologies in belarus began to more actively form the so-called people's militia. and in order to explain to the people why they are holding military meetings, the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine informs me about the creation of the so -called militia. oleksandr lukashenko announced at the end of may that to strengthen the country's defense, groups plan to form near populated areas, their members will periodically train and have weapons i will remind belarus i want to officially take part in the war does not allow the russian military to use its territory for strikes on ukraine ukrainian military does not they reject the threats of amphibious landings from the black sea. this is reported by the south operational command , the danger of missile strikes from the black sea

the council of europe received a wave of anti-russian unfounded resolutions of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, and politicized, as i already noted the decision of the europeanf human rights, we propose to stop payments on decisions last time. according to the same old decisions that were recognized by our country. this strasbourg jurisdiction will make payments only in rubles. another draft law, which the mps are discussing today at the plenary session. this is control over the activities of agents. according to it, persons recognized as such in russia will be prohibited from engaging in teaching educational activities, as well as creating information materials for minors, according to the authors, the bill will protect children and adolescents from foreign influence today. here's the head of the state duma committee on security to journalists. as examples, he showed literature that is sponsored abroad, but is produced and distributed here in russia among teenagers. according to him, after the adoption of the bill. all this literature will be removed from the press. there is good eastern wisdom. if you want to defeat the enemy, what do you need to educate h

as an amendment the demand that to all member states of the council of europe, these are 46 countries of the world, 27 countries of the europeanions against ramzan kadyrov and his entourage for the crimes he committed and directly in chechnya by establishing these bandit medieval regimes there is absolutely terrible and on the territory of ukraine that is why it was supported by the way, it was supported unanimously and such an amendment now there is a corresponding report in the body and such an appeal goes to all countries and members of the council of europe, this is also definitely an important step, we need to strengthen the influence of sanctions and name specific culprits, tomorrow we will have a report on er, to the downed liner mh serventin and in this regard too we submit the appropriate corrections so that the names and hills on strilkovo and others are directly named there, meaning criminals and specific architects of russian intelligence, who are involved in this what are you from the white russian corner is it possible now, the opinions of military experts on this matter diverge, and if some experts even on our a

european union in such a motion. they will, we see is a result of totally new i would say utmost within europe in council. it says, i would say this is a new european council at this moment. it's clear ukraine will have to fulfill a long list of criteria before being able to enter the union. a process that could take years even decades. but the possibility of a lengthy wait didn't dampen the spirits of ukraine's president who thank the council via video link. each of these. yeah, ve to show property. yes. i believe that the flag of the european union will fly in every ukrainian city that we have to liberate from russian occupation grace, the ukrainian and european flags will be together when we rebuild our country after this war. and from the sla t lini ross, you leaders will also have to discuss whether the union is even able to welcome new family members anytime soon. many here and brussels agree the block needs internal reform 1st. so europe can compete on the world stage. and believe the war raging on its doorstep makes this even more urgent. need of the correspondence, christine manuel was at the euro

results of the work of the international criminal court and those tribunals whose creation was decided by the european parliament and the parliamentary assembly the council of europeose idea was supported by the united states, the european union, great britain. yes, but at the same time , despite the fact that everyone supports us, we have other examples . transferred files on war crimes in russia to the international criminal court and still no conclusions or verdicts, as it will be in the case of ukraine. how optimistic are you, after all, and in what timeframe in the future, there may be a concrete effect of this international work of the work of ukrainian human rights defenders and investigative prosecutors, which is happening now, the decisions you cited are calls to create such an international hybrid tribunal, and unfortunately, the decision on its creation has not yet been adopted, why, unfortunately, because once again we cannot rely exclusively on the international criminal court, it will investigate only the number of episodes chosen by it, which means that we are facing the task of who will ensure justice for tens of thousands of victims from war crime

it was really churchill's idea after the end of the second world war , to create such a unifying european security structure there in the council of europeer this the question does not raise

really churchill's idea after e the end of the second world war e precisely to create such a unifying european-european security structure there in the council of europe this question is never raised by the i powers, the un security council really needs to be reformed, i was just in strasbourg at the last session , i was invited there as an honorary member of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, and i met with people who at that time promoted the return of russia for the sake of the so-called let's call it that in quotation marks of the dialogue, now they all understood that how right we were when they said that all this would end in a big war against ukraine, and they considered it an exaggeration, and how wrong they were and now they have turned around to a 180° position, they understand that now without the support of ukraine in all spheres, well, you know that for the germans, for example, it is a guilt complex and a primary complex for the germans, it has been shown for years by history after the second world war, now it is a guilt complex is beginning to be felt precisely in front of ukraine and that is why i believe that it is i

european union will allocate up to nine billion euros of macro-financial assistance to ukraine. the european commission adopted a decision based on the results of the summit. the council of europealled on the commission to offer as soon as possible ways to support the reconstruction of ukraine by the european union. cooperation regarding the restoration should take place with international partners, organizations and experts, this is stated in the final comfy council. this is olena symonenko, deputy head of the office of the president of ukraine. look at ukraine. we are now completing the development together with the world bank of the assessment of the impact of what happened to the infrastructure in ukraine so that we have be able to receive aid and rebuild our countries if we are talking only about fast recovery. that is, it is a housing stock over the occupied territories and a minimum number of social infrastructure facilities so that we can start kindergarten schools and a minimum number of hospitals over the occupied territories where there is a large the number of destructions in ukraine is needed today at least at least 350 billion uah, this is a lot of money and we ne

i am sure that only a positive decision is in the interest of the whole of europe. who are members of the european councilny member of the eu blocks the decision on the application of ukraine, what will happen then, then the decision will be postponed to the next summit. i think that this will not happen. russia wanted this very much, you see what is happening now is happening, russia has started energy blackmail, it is reducing the flow of gas to germany, france, and italy and is trying to say, you see, you will continue to move forward with ukrainian membership in the european union, we will cut off your gas, whatever you want, and this story was actually clear that a few years ago, when we said that there is no need to consider russia as a reliable supplier of gas, when there is a political need, putin will definitely use hydroelectric power as a weapon, as now he uses zno, well, that is, all this is an absolutely different value system in russia, it is for by definition, it is not european, it is also not asian , it is so byzantine in this value system and everything is cynical, people are absolutely

european commission of ukraine, in fact, as a member of the candidate for membership. will this happen in a week? at the meeting of the council on e. i think that is definitely why that in europeropean union, the principle of unanimity of the position of the key bodies of the european union is more valid , that is, it cannot happen in principle that the european council goes against the opinion of the european commission, because all the members of the european union who agree are represented in this european commission er, this position is taken by the capitals , and it definitely cannot be such that the decision is different, and at the same time, we must understand that this status is given to us with certain, well, let's say so, prerequisites, and we will not be able to start tomorrow accession negotiations because first we will have to fulfill those uh-uh points which uh-uh which will accompany the final decision of the european council, although i will tell you frankly when i read them , for some reason i felt uh-huh and funny and sad at the same time, well, it's funny because they are actually funny, in the sense that we need them. this is not our fee for the euro, what

and moldova received the status of a candidate for joining the european union, the head of the european council said that this is a historic moment, however, many in europeortugal believes that ukraine's entry into the eu will lead to destruction. union so whether the game is worth brussels with a thing found out regina sevastyanova this decision was made by consensus and de facto. it was the most predictable. the decision of this two-day summit, since de facto it was adopted at the beginning of this week, when the past countries of the european union agreed on the positions of all countries on this issue one of their last doubts. removed the wound the netherlands today comments on the prime minister. mark of the netherlands coolly stated that after seeing the proposal of the european commission. in the hague, all doubts were dispelled because, according to him, the european commission, represented by ursula vonderlein, president of the european commission, president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky, in particular. as she put it fiercely, she explained quite harshly that in order to enter the european union and the beginning of negotiations on joining the e

parliamentary assembly of the council of europe will work in strasbourg in parallel with this i can say we are waiting for a very important decision, including for the europeantion of human rights, this is a vote of the verkhovna rada literally tomorrow if i am not mistaken on the agenda for the resolution with excuse me for the resolution for the istanbul convention on combating violence, this fact is now confirmed by the number of registered cases that are extremely high. this includes different types and types of violence committed against ukrainian women and men civilian soldiers and children, all this needs to be registered, we understand that not all victims are ready for this, but i call on those who are watching us now to support the families of the victims and whether psychological help is needed. and more than 15 programs have worked in ukraine and abroad for victims of various types because these cases were recorded and registered, i will remind you that recently the un special mission on war crimes has been active, which also includes anonymous stories that you can contact so that in september we saw not only the report on the destroyed infrastru

and positive conclusion that the status of a candidate, and although the last political decision will be made precisely by those and in europe of the european councilort for ukraine and the people and ukrainians of the whole world, and it is also recognized achievements of ukraine on the way integration into the european union and we still have to be positive, but if we do not give up, then we, and therefore we, if this ukrainianism continues to be active at those levels, we will work together with the ukrainian authorities and ukrainian diplomacy to ensure this support in the policy of e- everything must be worked on until the last minute, and there are still some careers that have not been fully decided, including the netherlands and portugal and others. we must continue to be active through our communities through our political influence in those countries continue to work so that there are no surprises, we feel that on june 23, the decision will be the same as that adopted by the european commission, are there still significant risks, well, the commission is, if it is a bureaucratic structure, they are an executive structure, that is, they have

considered as soon as possible and out of the ordinary, and this is important because european cases can be found. well, this is such an institution of the council of europe, the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, and they will definitely implement the decision, which is what we always say about the fact that, despite the sanctions, there are actually a number of european companies that continue to cooperate with the russian federation, as well as the supply of components for military equipment, what can be done about it and did you emphasize this, oleksiy, at the meeting of the assembly, this topic is excellent november and even showing photos, for example, what i see as with my own eyes and there our boys and girls captured in the south of ukraine one of the most modern russian tanks and 90 vladimir well now he became vladimir because he is directly the occupiers but when i in this vladimir was there together, but we only captured him, we climbed into the tower of this tank, the first thing i saw there was a thermal imager and a tee in the forest. this is a thermal imager so that this tank can be shot at night, and this is a french company

parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, that's where the ukrainian delegation is located, its summer session has started. well, it's good that ukraine is changing european principles right now or convincing europe to adhere to the principles it declares. for 26 years, russia was a member of the council of europe and now she has been excluded, we hope forever taras vysotskyi deputy minister of agrarian policy and food of ukraine is already with us taras, we congratulate you, i congratulate you in particular on the fields during the summer session of the couple, the issue of the crisis, the global crisis of communications with the blocking of ukrainian grain, what is the current situation with this, what are the prospects, and will they be able to solve any of these questions or are they just up for discussion, mr. taras , in fact, we see that the level of export via alternative routes that is, through the railway, road freight transport or river transport, it is growing, but it is not enough, that is, if in may in april there was 1 million in may, a million 700,000 tons in june, we can already see that we can reach 2 million tons of exports. but this is

that we will somehow be able to connect the european court of human rights to the european court of human rights. they were even members of the council of europe have ceased to be members of the council of europe at all, and they are not going to implement any decisions and will not implement them . this is a barbaric country. it has nothing to do in the european environment. the court, unfortunately, does not have to, they understand only force as a real aggressor by force, only force p oleksiy and who in europe can act as a guarantor of the exchange of prisoners, eh, well, the procedure that was applied to the defenders, we have stopped they said on our broadcast that the international red cross had something to do with this exchange and was one of the guarantees that these people would not be tortured, they would not be convicted in russia, they would then be exchanged for russian prisoners of war , now you know what other structures had something to do with it what is the guarantee now that all these defenders of azovstali will not be convicted and tortured there, god forbid lost in russian prisons unfortunately, let's be honest, we don't

omsk organizations of the world bank international flight fund council of europe well, the countries separately the united states of europeansia and so on are actively working on the site of the council of the head of the heads of financial intelligence. this is our association soligorsk and here. thank you. you supported the project, and we are creating an international risk assessment center, just for the cis and developing measures to minimize these risks, associated precisely with counteraction from ownership to work as part of the barrier operation. this is opposition to finance. if the results are frozen assets are no longer worth the other side. that is, i would like to say a few words about how international information exchange, although the group that brings together financial intelligence. it is almost 180 countries, and a number of countries are also trying to disconnect us from the communication channel. well, we continue to work today. about 70 countries have such active interaction with more than 100 joint financial investigations, including with countries here, here is a list, which are perhaps even several

council of europe, the uk is - issues. just pours that. sorry. the council of europe, the uk is a - council of europe, the uk is a member of that, and the european s europe and expanding increasingly. the idea is that we are trying to, generally, raise the protections that there are four human beings. despite recognising the humanity of us all. that is the purpose of the european convention on human rights. for us to step outside of it, would be a great shameful thing.— to step outside of it, would be a great shameful thing. dominic raab sa s we great shameful thing. dominic raab says we are — great shameful thing. dominic raab says we are not _ great shameful thing. dominic raab says we are not pulling _ great shameful thing. dominic raab says we are not pulling out - great shameful thing. dominic raab says we are not pulling out of- great shameful thing. dominic raab says we are not pulling out of the i says we are not pulling out of the european convention on human rights, but we are also having a british bill of rights. it but we are also having a british bill of rights.— bill of rights. it is about like havin: bill of rights. it is about lik

done, if you take the position of the european commission, if you take the position of a number of leaders in europe and what you expect to happen in the european councilng, "ukrainians, you are "part of our family. "ukrainians, we want you to be a candidate and we want you, "of course, to perform all the reforms necessary to be "able to one day be a member of the european union." and we'll see exactly what the leaders say in just a few days. but on the strategic point i'm trying to make, emmanuel macron of france basically said europe needs to develop a much greater, coherent security strategy and capacity of its own. strategic autonomy, he calls it. isn't the truth of what we've seen unfold in this crisis, that it is nato, where the americans work with the europeans, that really matters in terms of safeguarding european security? because on all sorts of things, from sanctions to weapons supplies, within europe itself, there are actually deep divisions. you know something, steve? if president putin's goal was to divide the west... ..if it was to weaken nato, if it was to divide the european union, if it was to divide the eu from the uk, it totally fai

the european commission will give a positive signal, everything will be decided at the summit of the european council, there the struggle will be because of the latter, as i already said, in europe, all the cards and trumps are in hand, that is, it is necessary to understand that the decision to grant candidate status to ukraine is not only a question about ukraine. it is a question of whether the european union can in this case act as a geopolitical an actor in international relations because, with their security strategy, they consider the perimeter of the neighborhood as a component of their security, so will they go to greater conflicts, political confrontation with the russian federation, and prove that this alliance was formed in the end, as a political and geopolitical player in the region or not, that is why there are also such aspects , that is, i understand the criticism of loyalty there from the french who are trying to save russian investments in their country, but of course the questions are only about ukraine and who are you as a european union? just an economic giant and you remain a political dwarf, that's why i am convinced that this argumentation of someone who

future not only of our of the country, but also of the whole of europe, president volodymyr zelenskyi said that representatives of the european councill discuss obtaining ukraine's eu candidate status on june 23-24 under ihor zhovkva, deputy head of the president's office, said at the time of the meeting. i believe that this will be a decision not only about ukraine, but also about the entire european project, about whether it has a future as a really strong association, preparing for a new wave of appeals and communication with political and export communities of the world precisely in order to guarantee our state the support we need so much, this is a constant process of maintaining attention and it cannot be stopped for a moment and that was all the news for this time. our team is working for that so that by the 11th you will receive fresh, up-to-date information and my colleagues antin borkovskyi and anna valevska, the broadcast continues, literally jammed watch our espresso channel news and euro espresso programs for ukrainian refugees in europe co-broadcast with the atp channel radio svoboda programs time- time of the voice of

i am sure that the interest of the whole of europe corresponds to only a positive decision of the european councilpavla, is 27 countries and heads of state or government that are part of the european council, if any member of the eu blocks the decision on the application what will happen to ukraine then, then the decision will be postponed to the next summit. i think that this will not happen. russia wanted this very much. you see what is happening now. russia has started energy blackmail, it is reducing the flow of gas to germany and to france and to italy and is trying to say that you will see and move forward. with ukraine's membership in the european union, we will cut off your gas as much as you like, and this story was actually clear that a few years ago, when we said that we should not consider russia as a reliable supplier of gas when there will be a political necessary, putin will definitely use gas as a weapon, as he is now using zno, well, that is, all this is an absolutely different value system in russia, it is by definition not european, it is also not asian , it is so byzantine in t

remind you that on march 16, russia was expelled from the council of europe, which also means the termination of participation in the europeanconvention on human rights . at the beginning of the war in ukraine, russia asked for help from china, which would like to help but is afraid of sanctions. i want to avoid sanctions. the washington post writes about this and notes that moscow has tried to put pressure on the official deceased at least twice recently with a request to offer new forms of economic support. the sources did not specify the specifics of russia's requests, but one official said that it was about trade commitments, as well as financing , financial and technological support, the implementation of which threatens china with sanctions from states and other countries, so china might very much like to help , but for now it is restrained by sanctions on the capital of ukraine, kyiv, will strengthen control over the observance of the curfew, in particular, this applies to night clubs and catering establishments, the press service of the patrol police reported this with reference to information from the kyiv city stat

then to her this status was granted at the summit of the european council in helsinki, although only 3% of the territory of turkey formally belongs to europe the other 97 are still asia. people's deputy of ukraine yaroslava is already with us, we congratulate you. well, let's take this topic with you and continue , but denmark is there. clear tasks and as an anti-corruption prosecutor appointed by freedom of speech, what are your forecasts regarding the european union on june 23-24? it should take place in brussels. personal forecast, it is based on the knowledge of certain insiders, but i will not say that i am 100% sure, but more loudly, yaroslav, so that we can hear you, i would, after all, it is calculated that the decision will be positive for ukraine. i believe that this will be a huge victory for the ukrainian people and an incentive to, er, eliminate the russian accent from our land even faster, and i hope that on june 17 there will be a positive decision by the european commission , and then on the 23rd-24th, maybe plus or minus one day and a positive decision will be published as to whether ukraine has fulfilled all the requireme

european council. but he was also of course, referring to a tax on europe. now, when it comes to that, you'll no doubt be referring to a tightening of the gas supplies, which we've also seen, or russia doing in recent days or weeks or on european countries making the price of gas saw. that's really one of the only weapons he has against the west at the moment. but one that he's very prepared, as we say to use you're talking about the attacks that didn't occur. one thing that russia is doing is making claims about ukrainian army suffering heavy losses and in considerable detail. what more do you know about that yet? well, russia has come out and said that it had a couple of successful attacks. one on a bunch of army generals, it said that they were meeting for a meeting and that they were successfully attacked by russian soldiers and 50 casualties believed or reported by russia. they also said that they had in arms deposed, taking out quite a few of the international weapons that have been said. but actually that hasn't been independently verified. and the uk

at the end of the new week , there will be a response from the european council. we are now. i am sure that only a positive decision is in the interest of the whole of europe particular to the europeans, and i will use every opportunity to to protect the european perspective for ukraine for each of us to gather new ones for us then it is obvious that we should expect from russia an increase in enemy activity specifically shown this week and not only against ukraine but also against other european countries we are preparing we are ready to warn our partners the occupiers are accumulating forces on in the kharkiv direction of the zaporizhzhia region, our fuel infrastructure was again fired upon. they want to worsen the situation in the bedrooms. in donbas, the russian army uses the most artillery there, the most offensive forces, but severodonetsk, lysychansk, avdiyivka - krasnohorivka , and other angelic points, they are holding on, people like us are holding on, our army is holding on, and i am grateful to everyone that i am strength today, this is our victory tomorrow . ukraine is fighting hard. glory to ukraine. france is one of the countries that has al
