ukraine is a large enough country and its entry into the european union is definitely not tomorrow , in the future it will change the balance of power in the eu and some western european politicians were afraid of this. so here several reasons worked at once . i will remind you of the comparison until february 24, uh, we were received by many people in europe, especially the so-called skeptics of ukraine, as feldstein as a failed state, despite uh, the various reforms that took place in ukraine, there was such skepticism but then everyone saw that ukraine is capable of defending itself and that our supposedly weak institutions, but they turned out to be working, working, this country survived this influx and demonstrated the ability not only to survive and fight. - less critical, and you see, this is not a file, the state of ukraine, together with the young european states, can be a serious competition, so to speak, with the old europe. well, let's hope that they will compete, you know, on such positive and mutually beneficial principles, but ukraine will be a leader in these processe

but what do the european union expect from the talks in washington and tehran on a nuclear deal, how uropeans in general today in the renewal of the agreement, what are they doing for their part? ah, well, first of all, negotiations in tehran's washingtons are just one component, and the general multilateral negotiations on a jcpoa joint and comprehensive plan of action, coordinated by the european union itself and specifically the european, external political service a and e hmm a well-known gentleman. so now, at the current, so to speak, finish line of this verdict, well , the subject of discussion is just the offer of a set of proposals proposed by the european union, which, in principle, is acceptable to everyone, but remained, as they say, the details are as far as how to e. how big is the devil these details are to be sorted out in such a way that the european union is certainly interested in this deal, but because they, uh, firstly, took it up initially and even the current agreement of the fifteenth year. this was also the fruit of joint work, and e countries, including russia

because we are not such open gates of the european union. what is good for russians? the coronavirus or because the war in ukraine is russia 's aggression supports similar sanctions eh let's say it like this maybe it's a part of our russian-speaking population in some way against in our countries but the situation is just like this now that, unfortunately, it is not for tourism, that is, we will have to ... military position before, it wasn’t just a photo- photo visa, it was a tourist visa, and not just without any explanation, a causal one, just for celent tourism, they received a visa at any embassy. critical about 50 khz, such a limited possibility will not be found, it will be possible to find some new ways to evacuate, to rescue, to protect the rights of journalists, civil activists, dci gang, and so on and so on. it's us, it's a small group strangers with these tourists who want to have a rest in europe, that's why they want the alps or the stripes of milan and an example for this, i don't know there, rainer is a children's city, but there is such an opinion tha

constitution of ukraine included a provision on a strategic course for full membership in the european unionar. on june 23, the european council at the summit in brussels decided to grant ukraine and moldova the status of candidates for the european union, and to grant georgia the status only after fulfilling a number of conditions, the status of a candidate in the eu opens opportunities for ukraine, in particular, access to the structural funds of the european union, the funds from which will be directed to the reconstruction of the destruction caused by the rejection of russia and the construction of a sustainable ukrainian economy, and we are happy to welcome to our studio yevgenia kravchuk , deputy chairman of the committee on humanitarian and information policy of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, and also oleksiy boryachenko, candidate of political sciences, we congratulate you, we congratulate you on a special day of independence, because ukraine is fighting b the heart of our country is beating, we will not fight for independence, ms. kravchuk, do you think that we are now showing this

they are splitting the european union.hey again demonstrate the lack of a unified approach from the outside. uh, the european union and i think that here different eu countries will follow national paths. that is, yes some countries, uh, will uh, tighten or ban, uh, others won't, only very briefly. i very briefly, you know, there has never been such a thing in europe that you had a monstrous stratification between the european establishment and ordinary citizens. so today, it is the large countries of europe, such as france, spain, italy, to a lesser extent, germany, that are beginning to produce the conflict that did not exist before. they sincerely begin to hate their authorities and monstrously hate brussels. the revolutionary situation is on the face. this situation also shows the lies, uh, that russia was fed in the nineties, when the same baltic countries were talking about returning to europe, in fact, it was a departure from russia now they want to really isolate themselves from russia already on the physical level

ukraine plans to be fully ready to join the european union by the end of the 24th year . of western partnerscontinue to actively implement european legislation and have already fulfilled about 70% of the association agreement with the eu, by the end of the year customs visa-free will be introduced further industrial and digital integration work has not stopped for a single day and by the end of 2024 we plan to be fully ready to join the european union, this is our valuable and civilizational path, we have formed a clear and understandable vision of how ukraine will become a successful and prosperous member of the european union, and we will definitely implement this plan we will fully implement after the victory bohdan ferenc, an expert on international issues, joins our broadcast next bohdan good night, so let's talk about the path of independent ukraine to the european union as soon as we heard the speaker of the parliament and the prime minister, the 24th year is such a deadline that we set for ourselves, this is quite an ambitious goal, and in fact, if it succeeds, we will be among the l

difficult for russia to diversify than the market of natural gas, oil and oil products for the european unionon, and it will be easy to mix this russian, well , russian coal 40%. yes, i called the number and if i was wrong, you can correct it, of course, by 40%, well, 40% of the total market is the import of imported coal. well, you know that the european union has very strongly refused coal in recent years, the share of coal in the energy balance of the european union has been decreasing, and this was foreseen by the energy strategy of the european union of many eu countries, decarbonization of the energy sector , decarbonization of the ice economy implementation of the provisions of the climate agreement of the paris climate agreement exactly where a strong reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and also pollution is expected air pollution and coal is very important here, because it has reduced its role on the one hand, on the other hand - it is still, in my opinion, the european union , in my opinion, inappropriately quickly abandoned the role of coal and relied on russian gas, but we see t

synchronized with the european union for the benefit of our citizens. moreover, we have a lot of issues with forcibly displaced persons, including those on the territory of the persian union and their interests. it is also necessary it is very important to protect, it is also necessary to return them . we will come back to him about medi. since we started in such a way that we would then finish the discussion on a different situation, well, actually, in the coming weeks, we already expect to vote in the first you know, we are finally pushing this heavy stone. because in fact three convocations of the verkhovna rada could not adopt this law. why? because there is a lot of private interest in the media, remember what was the opposition to the law on oligarchs and when the european commission gave this point as mandatory for of european integration, it was indicated that this should be done so that there is no influence of private interest on the editorial policy on the information landscape eh and eh well, let's call things by their names eh, these are ver

these are various types of programs in the european union and not only in the european union, by theh provide for the provision or the right to permanent residence, staying in the relevant country in exchange for investments or, conversely, obtaining citizenship in exchange for investments, and these programs are today a very controversial issue for the european union, today in the whole world, somewhere around 20-21 countries provide such programs, more than a few countries of the european union and the most popular point of entry into the european union is portugal and greece, where the most favorable conditions are the simplest and easiest. well, just today the ukrainian union is considering such an issue in order to, on the one hand, in principle, for about 3-5 years, to close the programs for granting citizenship in exchange for investments in the european union and to significantly limit or strictly regulate the market for obtaining permits for permanent residence in the european union a lot is quite a lot, uh, in economic terms, there are different estimates because there are

there is now just a whole series of visits to prague by the minister of foreign affairs of the european unionnd the minister of defense today in prague and the head of european diplomacy. well and german chancellor olafsholz also came and he gave such a key speech at charles university in prague, where he outlined, so to speak, the future vision of europe, a united europe, and what ukraine will benefit from this as well it is very interesting to draw conclusions, he also talked a lot about ukraine. well, as for europe, he said that he made it clear to the correctional officers that charles university is one of the oldest universities in central eastern europe. he said that the center of gravity of the center of gravity in the european union is shifting to the east he supported the candidate status and membership of the future in the european union as a condition for ukraine and possibly georgia, as well as for the six countries of the western balkans, which, according to him, should be accepted into the european union. well, albania and bosnia and kosovo and north macedonia and montenegro and

and not only by the way in the european union, which provide for the granting or the right toermanent residence in the relevant country in exchange for investments or, conversely, obtaining citizenship in exchange for investments, and that's exactly what these programs are today, you know, a very debatable issue in the european union today, around 20-21 countries in the whole world provide such programs, most of the countries of the european union, and the most popular such point of entry into the european union are portugal and greece there are the most favorable, the simplest and simplest conditions. well, just today, the ukrainian union is considering such an issue that, on the one hand, in principle, within 3-5 years , the programs in the european union should be closed altogether granting citizenship eh eh in exchange for investments and significantly restricting or strictly regulating the market of obtaining consequences for permanent residence in the european union in the european union a lot is a lot eh in economic terms there are different estimates because there are

and the fact that we join the european union or the european union, in fact, together with this, willnance serbia. okay, then we will carry out those sanctions packages that have already been imposed by the european court. if no, then no, that is, this is a signal about that and i can um from putin's side, so to speak, go over to your side. if you help finance serbia in the amount that we need, this is already a bad signal for putin, i will explain why he is this bad signal is that is allies of the current aggressor states, they agree with a certain financial benefit, political benefit for themselves, to switch to, let’s say, the other side, the other side. and this is bad news for the entire civilized world in our country, and this is, by the way, a kind of signal for other states that are currently supporting there are so many aggressor states, but all the same about the fact that hmm, you can say from the point where they are now to move to a completely different point but again, i want to emphasize once again that there are no real actions and no we are not observing a 180° turn o

the european union is approaching a turning point. german chancellor, olaf shells prepares to outline his vision for the block during a keynote speech in prac ah, i'm pablo foias. welcome to the program. german chancellor, olaf sholtes is in prague in the czech republic, giving a keynote speech on the european union's future. what he's calling a turning point, and you're just actually seeing live images from the chat capitol mal sholtes is expected to touch on major steps to reform, expand the european union in the rise of rising global challenges. and he's also set to reaffirm germany's long term commitment to supporting ukraine as its struggles to repel invading russian forces. it's shelters. first visit to the check over since becoming chancellor. develop that because, well, before we actually across, over to prag, at we're joined here in studio by our political correspondent, thomas barrow. good to see a thomas. now, chance her shelter is set to address the main concern for the european union at the moment, which is of course energy. so what can we expect from him? with regards to

thank you to the european union. it is advisable to terminate the agreement with russia on simplified border crossing with member countries the minister of foreign affairs of germany, anna lena berk, of the schengen area stated this today. according to her, it is necessary to stop issuing multiple schengen visas to russians - this will allow countries that do not want to see to check them more carefully, the test for what purpose they are going to come to the territory of the eu, let me remind you that these countries, in particular, in the baltic countries, finland, poland, sweden, and others, are in favor of a complete ban on the entry of citizens of erection well, at the same time, unfortunately, there are other countries in europe, leaders who are said to keep talking about the fact that since this is a war of ordinary russians, and putin's war is an ordinary russia, then ordinary russians cannot be banned from entering the eu, the bundeswehr can no longer give weapons to ukraine, she said this today the minister

the czech republic has now started to preside over the european union since july. therefore now she is receiving today the ministers of defense of the countries of the european union, they will not be online , but offline, that is, the minister of defense of ukraine, it is possible to join them, but online, so preliminary information and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the ministers of foreign affairs of the european union will meet for their informal meeting live participation, so to speak, in offline me of foreign affairs of ukraine dmytro kuliba, he is in sweden today and then tomorrow the day after tomorrow because here in prague the main thing is that the ministers of defense decide this is a training mission for ukraine it is possible that there will be a military training mission for ukraine. the head of european diplomacy, jose borel, is pushing very hard for the european union to create some kind of training training mission for ukraine. now things are happening on a bilateral level, some countries are helping ukraine, such as germany or former member

he issues and key areas and when it comes to the european union, the european union has focused on thether -- on other issues like cyber -- cyber defense. we must not forget, if you look at the balkans, there are tensions there it is fair to say -- and it is fair to say that it will be, with the united states focus on the -- china and the pacific. europe must take a bigger responsibility for the region's -- many of the baltics and the mediterranean area and denmark can play a role. it is a matter of priority when it comes to troops and how much we can be involved with the baltics -- balkans and other places but we are ready to take part of any other issues and that is why we have the referendum and bear is -- there are fields to plate when it comes to taking responsibility. >> you believe by 2033, it is a long ways away but you will be able to meet those commitments with the reprioritize -- you mentioned troops and sending troops to other places and what other reprioritize nations will come with that -- we prioritize -- it is agreement -- >> running up to 2023, -- as many other defense

customs union, and this is er towards russia, we could er mean to live with coexist with the european unionan union, such an option was possible, i will tell you, it was discussed more, such a discussion took place during the time of yanukovych, and some experts also suggested it. some politicians, however , treated this scenario coolly in europe, although there were no categorical objections. let's say that there were problems here, but if desired , certain compromises could be found, in any case, regarding the free trade zone with the european union and with russia, but first of all, who was against russia in the 13th year, that was right at the end in september, if i go to the valdava forum , there was a discussion between president putin and the former head of the european commission roman brody and roman brody suggested to putin, let's create a bridge from ukraine, a bridge between the european union and russia, the eurasian union, let's find certain compromises so that we can mutually putin said no categorically no, he said, you europeans always want to drink our vodka at our expense

can be made in the next package of anti-russian sanctions, which are now being discussed by the european unionhe is already the seventh. and didn’t it start to give, here the anti-russian european fantasy is some kind of failure, you know, not so long ago i discussed with you and your colleagues the previous package, which was also called the seventh, but uh, as a result, the european union was even ashamed to call it the seventh. well, someone called him, er, the sixth and a half, and so they came up with such literary names for him. uh, this is what it says that, in general, the opportunities for further tightening the sanctions regime is practically exhausted, and today it does not give grounds, of course, for some kind of euphoria, and moreover, so to speak, the feeling that we broke them there and won it is too early to talk about it. but the fact that uh this is uh hmm trend line. she starts to fizzle out due to objective reasons, because e is understandable. uh, so today is august 11th. yesterday , the provision of the fifth package on the ban on the import of russian coal came into for

maybe, in fact, blowing up the european union is very dangerous.already moved away a lot. he conceived in such founders as jean manet or robert schumann here. uh, now scholz is proposing an even more drastic departure from the last symbols. e state sovereignty. here's aside from that. what other conclusions do you draw from a similar program that scholz presented. uh, charles university. the fact is that the policy of some european states, which are completely dependent on the united states and contrary to their interests , follow the lead of american policy. it destroys the unity of europe, and therefore we talk a lot about political crises that are growing in their internal life. and who basically opposes the current uh, the current european elites inside within their countries, well, in their domestic politics. it's mostly those who want more sovereignty. who wants more responsibility for their own affairs, who are less willing to look beyond the ocean, and more want independence, and therefore. uh, here is an attempt to follow in the american f

we have known about a possible compromise , in particular, which consists in the fact that the european unionl terminate the agreement with russia on the so-called facilitated visa regime, that is, to obtain a visa for russians to go to european countries will be more difficult and more expensive , other documents will be needed and if this proposal is approved, even regardless of what is agreed on at the general european level by all 27 countries already now, the countries of the north east europe, in particular the baltic states, also in finland, says the possibility that they, as bordering countries that have borders with russia, will have their own rules, which are already stricter . estonia has already completely canceled russian tourist visas to finland, which was limited to latvia, and lithuania also says about restrictions that is, we have such a two-way two-way street of europe in solving this issue regarding tourist visas for russians, other important developments on monday, a mission of megate inspectors went to ukraine, which should conduct an assessment of the situation on zapori

pavlo, you mentioned this informal meeting of the ministers of foreign affairs of the european union,ch is to be held in prague, and about the restriction of visas or the suspension of the agreement on the simplified visa regime with russia, a part of the countries of the european union categorically insists on this, it is the baltic countries , the scandinavian countries and poland, including but not all the same, there are countries that say well, no, it is not necessary . yes, with the russians. we must somehow, er, with them in a humane way because it is impossible to bite everyone under the same comb, what do you think? will this temporary restriction or suspension of the agreement or the selective granting of these temporary visas for russians tourist visas affect the internal situation in russia or will it make them think about the what is the result of russia's war in ukraine, it will have no effect, it will have an effect on a narrow stratum, where even now there are fewer and fewer buses, once there were four or so millions, now there are hundreds of thousands, those who dri

by the way, yesterday , today, they are discussing the european union. tactics, in particular borel ,rel, back in european diplomacy, said that if we have training missions for african countries, there are small ones, or mozambique, why are we still there, the war has been going on for more than six months, and we still haven’t we have a special auxiliary training mission for the ukrainian armed forces, so the european union wants to strengthen its defense identity, it is possible to create a training mission for ukrainian soldiers, it is not yet known where it will be, whether on the territory of ukraine or maybe in poland, in neighboring countries, but it must be said that on a bilateral the levels of some european countries are already helping ukraine with training, for example , germany is there, the netherlands is ready, even former members of the european union, for example, me too on a bilateral level, it helps, but it would be a possibility, a signal from the european union. if there was a joint eu training mission, that is exactly where ukraine is striving . special training

i think some institutions in the european union will be adjusted well, of course, the european union change, of course, and the european union, as far as we'll see, we don't have long to wait. i can only say one thing, that for the last 30 years it was in real cases to count on russia's help the european union will no longer have to live on its own aga andrey vladimirovich i think that the most important change that will take place this winter is that by spring the european union will learn to live without russian oil and gas and it will be fine to continue living like this. well, excuse the expression. i am a euro optimist, so i am sure that the european union stands and naturally. it will be more of a lesson for him than any. i think that now everything will be fine with the european union, but it will stand the problem, maybe the national governments of the national elites, here you should not forget about the collective unconscious of the unconscious, because , for example, you know that now the question shows something to the members of the conservative party. here are the usual

pavlo, you mentioned this informal meeting of foreign ministers of the european union, which is to be held in prague, and about the restriction of visas or the suspension of the agreement on a simplified visa regime with russia part of the countries of the european union categorically insists on this , including the baltic countries, the scandinavian countries and poland, but still there are countries that say well, no, no need . yes, with the russians. we have to deal with them in a humane way somehow to fix it, because you can’t bite everyone under one roof, what do you think? will this affect those in ukraine? it won’t affect it, it will have an effect on a narrow layer, where even now there are fewer and fewer cars. once there were four or so millions, now there are hundreds thousands of those who drive are mainly people who earn money from the russian regime, the snakes of the world bypassed the photo in the helsinki er sweat, where is the bentley they have er, what else do they have there, i don't remember er porsche well, that's it it is difficult to explain something to people

for ukraine against the background of the war, because the european union wants to help ukrainehow about this in european diplomacy , jose borel says that some kind of mission is needed for ukraine, even more that ukraine itself aspires to the european union and is fighting now not only for itself for europe, also the second point is that visa restrictions are discussed, but so far there is no consensus , that is, that ukraine wants a complete visa ban for citizens of russia to travel to europe to the schengen zone, so far it has not passed, and borel spoke against it and made it clear that he does not support it, and france and germany had a good document, they published where they believe that it is precisely trips to europe for russians that serve of the transformational mission, it is possible to transform russians into normal people, so to speak, when they encounter european life, european democracies , therefore, despite the war , neither france nor germany sees grounds for a complete ban for the trips of the russians, hey, i spoke with the minister of foreign affairs of u

the european union called on russia the day before. united states, the united kingdom, and others also responded to similar calls. territory this is confirmed by the main directorate of intelligence, the supreme court of the aforementioned dnr announced charges against five more foreigners who fought on the side of ukraine, swedumatius gustasono, croat veko slava pri beg , and briton john harding are threatened with the death penalty, they are accused of participating in hostilities and facilitating the violent seizure of power that two britons, andrew hill and dylan hill, are also accused of recruiting soldiers, in early june, two britons and americans were also sentenced to death in the dpr the coordinator of the media initiative for human rights, tetyana katrychenko, explained to the public that such sentences are war crimes. soldiers cannot be judged for their participation in the war. katrychenko also says so, the russian authorities want to force the world to recognize the subjectivity of the self-styled people's republic of chin

of the legislation of ukraine for compliance with the legislation of the european union.absolutely standard audit procedure . we will assume that it will take two years, that is, the audit will end in 2025, after that the negotiation process begins, when one by one the chapters in the legislation are closed for compliance with european standards if the negotiation process will take place immediately after the audit and if ukraine is a member of the european union, there will be no bilateral claims against ukraine. if you have historical or minority rights and these problems will have to be solved. up to 10 years until any time north macedonia has been solving these problems for 15 years, we will tell you that we will not have this, let's reject this idea that it will be then in the process of closing these agreements in these of these sections in the negotiations will take from 10 to 15 years, we will assume that this is an optimistic ukrainian scenario, as if somewhere from 2035, or at least in the worst case, in 2040, ukraine will become a member of the european union,

that 1st, the european union needs to reform itself to be capable of welcoming new members. so he once is stronger, you are p in union and he has made clear he in proc that germany is committed to working together. that with of are you partners still make it happen? now europe right now is grappling with a serious energy crisis because of the russians invasion of ukraine. how did shell it's address latin who speech well, he of course spoke about the struggle that germany and teeth government is faced with now to be less dependent on energy supplied from russian, russian gas. he also stress dead germany. it's ready to show solidarity with other new member assess, for instance, with the land lock country, such as the check republic, a. but he also a stress to dads, the european union is making progress to work together with regard to energy supplies in the future. and he mentioned that they have already agreed on a reduction targets on gas consumption for instance. now, european unity is of course, seen is key in the face of the conflict and ukraine. and that was a key part of

is at the proper level eh did not intervene in this situation until the end of august, the european union from the united states was under pressure on the authorities of kosovo to somehow soften their demands for the addition of serbian documents and, on the contrary, pressure will be placed on serbia to somehow react less briskly to the introduction that kosovo wants to apply. and this pressure will surely continue until 19- on the 1st of august, when the leaders of serbia and kosovo are supposed to meet in brussels, then we will see whether this pressure that is happening now really has any results. this is the only hope. in principle, by signing some regular agreements, declarations of memoranda, and problems were postponed for a later period, and about this particular conflict that we are currently observing, it did not arise yesterday or last year. and you already mentioned that this problem has been going on since 2011, and in 2011 there were other problems, another document was signed, which was not implemented, it was postponed, and now we will finally try to implement it, led to

will be able to review or freeze it is also allowed to today is the entry to the european union for students and journalists, and thus the european union is trying to find a way for those russians who want and need protection in the european union could leave, but the russians who will go on so -called tourist or shopping trips, it will be much more difficult for them to get these visas , it is as of today, i also talked to the minister of foreign affairs of lithuania and asked him if they are ready they will generally introduce their personal, so to speak, each country can introduce additional sanctions of their own. he said that he believes that they will not work , but we know that finland in particular will limit the granting of visas to russians to almost 10% today myroslav, earlier we heard from some western politicians, in particular, german calls for peace negotiations with russia, which of course caused criticism from ukraine. i heard five ministers of foreign affairs of the european union, none of them said anything about possible negotiations, all of them are talking

the european union has training missions for africa for small for the benefactor, why does borel say an't be for ukraine, which is fighting and which protects not only itself, but also europe and european values, that's why such a mission will be all the more aligned with the interests of the eu, which wants to strengthen its defense identity, and ukraine also wants to become a member of the european union. therefore, it is a mutual interest thank you very much rostyslav khotyn live from prague well, then the report from odeschyna from odeschyna they are creating a camp for displaced people there, so -called temporary housing on the territory of the former children's camp, let's see i'm in the ship this is an area near kherson, and there, without warning, even without alarm, you can just walk down the street and you can just fall, they will carry you, you will explode, i lay down to rest, and suddenly we are standing next to the house, shells will explode, i am so afraid of approaching people on the street children are screaming , people are screaming on the street, the walls are shak

of germany i would like to talk about the climate dimension here because in the 19th year the european unionthe first climate-neutral continent in history this means that almost all emissions of e-e street into the atmosphere were reduced by a little more than half and accordingly this is a story about increasing the share of renewable energy sources wind turbines in solar panels and many other things from the other side of europe for a long time and now it is dependent on russian oil and gas and this has been going on for more than a year and even a decade, and canada, by the way, is the first country in nato where a center of excellence on climate issues will be created, and this was announced during the summit to a crowd of three actions and the minister of defense canada's anita ordered that we should do everything to make our defense and security more ecological and climatic, that is, a lot is said about it, and now this story with the turbines between canada and germany shows that in fact the west cannot do enough quickly abandon russian energy carriers although they talk about a lot o

berbuk added that now for the european union, the european union must focus on four main things, namelyengthening its own defense capabilities , collective brussels must support those russians who oppose putin and his regime. well and in addition, the member countries are obliged to continue to support ukraine. well, and to cooperate with partners around the world for the sake of international law. well, i agree with almost everything, only regarding the support of the russians, i disagree all the same, i believe that all russians are to blame for the fact that putin attacked ukraine and they should all be responsible for it, mr. shochi did not convince me. in the event that russia does dare to hold illegal referendums on the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine, the united states of america will introduce new sanctions this was stated during the briefing by the deputy head of the press service of the us state department, vedant patel. his transcript was published today on the website of the us state department. according to mr. patel, washington has a whole set of restrictions,

well, here once again you have translated the example of the european union itself.s about these structures. e, which the serfs were supposed to create on the territory of oblique. as i understand it, correctly, which reflected their interests on and under this, the european union first signed up, and then again stopped doing it. after all, it was right. of course, this situation is not surprising for us either, because the analogy with the minsk agreements is still obvious, everything seems to be that you first, like mount antie’s consent, assurances that everything will be carried out. and after that, uh, complete connivance to one side, which is encouraged and refusal to comply lately, in fact , the european union has already taken the pristina side, saying, with a serb, that let's do it again. and by the way, with the support of washington let's look again uh, the concept of these. uh, this is a community association of serbian municipalities. let's remove some mechanisms from there. uh, some additional rights and so on. that is e. directly take a course towards

for the first time , a ship with ukrainian wheat arrived in the european union and in east africa. it was shipped by the un world food program. the ukrainian grain is intended for a figure covered with a staff. seven hits in the city center and this morning, shells hit a preschool educational institution in one of the markets of kharkiv, next to a five-story residential building, and in the recreation park is spreading the video on social networks, we don’t show it, we don’t show it for reasons of concern after lunch, the city was shelled for the second time, mayor ihor terekhov said , the kyiv district of the city came under artillery fire due to the shelling, a fire broke out in a high-rise building , the office of the president of ukraine also reports about heavy shelling in the east of ukraine and the south, the russians hit on the maternity library and residential buildings and shelled the base of the red cross in slavyansky, according to the data of the vimstvo itself, at the same time in the kherson region they report new explosions, the operational command of the south conf

continues, russia continues to advance on ukrainian territory, is trying to seize more, and the european union is likely to consider new proposals for, say, sanctions, maybe against of the tourism industry but i think that even now , given the fact that the representatives of the european commission declare that in fact each individual country that is part of the schengen zone has the right to introduce its own rules and an understanding of how the rule should be implemented in certain conditions and we know, for example, that la has actually almost stopped issuing temporary tourist visas to other countries, restrictions are imposed, and then the question actually arises, how far to go in these prohibitions, for example, whether to leave permission for of russian citizens to go to the european union for humanitarian purposes, what to do with those russians who are seeking political asylum, escaping from an increasingly repressive regime in moscow, what to do, for example, with journalists who, for example, flee to latvia and create independent russian-language media of mass information, where

is pursuing strategically long-term, which serbia has not refused, including, uh, joining the european unionnuing to entrance negotiations are another matter that western powers all this european way. the so-called at present with her e as regards the claims to belgrade for two things. this is joining the anti-russian sanctions and recognition of courses. well, the disengagement from the leadership of the republic of serbian busiy. that is, these are the most sensitive and absolutely unacceptable requirements for belgrade. and let's take the upcoming negotiations again. so they call my negotiations bitten. bruce tomorrow. again the theme of joining belgrade to anti-russian measures exists as almost capital. in the context of all this kosovo problem, it still sounds that we expect belgrade to join it, and so on. so, what is the topic, of course, pressure and attempts to force belgrade to turn away from russia, it exists, it will exist, but, nevertheless, relying on official statements, they teach and, allowing themselves to say. excellent for contacts with him, that is, we are talking about t

there will also be defense of the countries of the european union. to his informal meeting in prague today and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. the minister of foreign affairs will have an informal meeting, but this usually, no decisions are made at these informal meetings. and that's why they're called informal. they just go to somewhere in the country once every six months. the czech republic is now the head of the european union, but now the times are a little different, now are the times of the war in ukraine. therefore, the decision may be made in particular by the minister of foreign affairs, who may decide to suspend the agreement on the simplified visa regime with russia and belarus. this is such a compromise option because there were calls supplemented by the prohibition of issuance of schengen visas to russians, etc. by the minister of foreign affairs. as expected, the european union may decide to cancel the simplified procedure for obtaining visas by russians. actually, on the program, on what is announced on on the first page. there w

that this will be one of the topics of the meeting of the ministers of foreign affairs of the european unionans, because we know that some countries oppose the idea of ​​limiting e-e visas for citizens of the russian federation, germany, the netherlands, france, well, this is what i just remember from the top of my head. i remember the beginning of this attack against ukraine, since february, for a month, what did the leaders of some of the european union states talk about weapons, about others, for example, there is an embargo on oil, there are sanctions. now the discussion has started, such states as finland, estonia , they will put it on the table. i think very specific arguments, er, even more specific than what i have put on the account of national security, they probably have information from these security services, er , they will discuss i don't know how it will be agreed, but still, i think that there will be some kind of solution, and uh, and already the message of uh, the visa regime will definitely be uh, because, well, such a state as us, which are members of the schengen uh, vi

taking place at which, in particular, the ministers of foreign affairs of the countries of the european unionided whether it is worth making it more difficult to obtain tourist visas for russians it may even be forbidden to contact us rostyslav rostyslav hoten, a journalist of radio svoboda rostislavy, congratulations. thank you for including us. well, tell us more about today. what have they decided or not? well, they still decide on the minister of foreign affairs at their informal but very important meeting here in prague. e-e visa sanctions against citizens of the russian federation so far, as we predicted, there will be no decision on a complete ban e-e for travel to other zones for citizens of russia despite the fact that ukraine she insisted on this, believing that it would somehow help to stop or influence the russian leadership, when the russians are not going to stop their war against ukraine, as i will remind, the baltic states and the scandinavian countries also insisted on this the netherlands, but so far there is no consensus on a complete ban, so today it is expected. what will

and membership in the european union, we cannot take it in the european union. has be based onodies of state power, the ability of these bodies to perform these complex tasks must be created, and so today we between the parliament and the government are agreeing there plans and lists of certain bills that need to be adopted now, this is an important process, the necessary process is there are many technical details in that process but there is also the need to attract a large number of additional specialists to work in public institutions so that we can help produce these solutions so far well, this is such a systemic change of approach. i don’t see it as one and the other, and we also have to understand that we can, because you want to adopt even the right laws, which will correspond to the directives of one or another regulation of the european union. but if we go further from the basic principles of the so-called copenhagen criteria , on which the european union is based, then no technical regulations, no procedural requirements, the rules that we will adopt there at the lev

but what type of family are we talking about when people are cuing around european union nations, countries queuing, to get bread queuing to get coal. there's not working on mikhail gorbachev. legacy where it's a lot is examined next in our short documentary of the soviet union's last liter passes away aged 91 and try that the ah, the 1st time in history, an entire country's culture has been cancelled the very modern weapon console culture. really desert wonderful. i wish i feel my last lot in william frog yet just me sitting there with the phrase now particularly refers to canceling russian culture. and yet them know what could be up a few orders that i give to william, i was sure which will be all there is, shall i live with. so out that all the, most of the separate random eat them, we what rushes created over the past 1500 years. there's no question. partially condemned, reviled and rejected. just sort of like a will of bramble. there's a lot closer. i want to hold out any time. thank you said a little short list. joining total condemnation, gross daily, and now includes dostoevsky to c

there is a prime minister of communications uh, how do i say that the european generation of the european union directly depends on gas supplies, because it works to a large extent on uh, natural gas, but again, they do and do here takes european certain measures and limits the consumption of electric energy at the legal level by 15%, and diversify supplies at the expense of lg there from germany ss of the united states of australia qatar and pipeline gas at the expense of e-e at the expense of supplies to algeria for example from azerbaijan e-e certain measures are being implemented, e.e., support for renewable energy sources, that is why the european union is taking certain measures, but it will not happen immediately, you understand , again, there is no need to disperse the topic, it is very strong in my opinion that the european union will freeze, that everything will be a capitulation, that they will not be able to survive the winter the whole enterprise will stop eh well, these are the messages they pour water on the windmill of our enemies, do you understand anyway, can ukraine help with

such a move, the entire european union may become known at the end of august, when, after the holiday the ministers of foreign affairs of the european union countries will gather for an informal meeting to discuss the idea of ​​not letting the russians in with tourist visas, the baltic countries are officially supported by the czech republic and finland. it is assumed that they may be joined by poland, slovakia and other countries that have already partially limited or complicated the process of granting schengen against germany. sanctions that affect the oligarchs, if the sanctions were extended to everyone, including innocent people, this would weaken the effectiveness of the introduced measures, berlin's position would probably be supported budapest, viktor orban's government is one of putin's main advocates in the european union, it is unlikely that france and italy and other countries where russians leave a lot of money will join the idea, but it is important that the discussion is at least heard. i do not agree with the approach that we take the so-called ordinary citizens of ru

the european union is incapable of managing major crisis. as we've seen these past years, they still think those who are at the head of the european union, that there are no problems that they're manage it and managing everything seamlessly. and instead of taking a full back and taking a look at the situation and trying to find solutions there, thing, but will make more countries enter this, this union and without. and that means that they will be doing this without even respecting really, really saying that there has to be majority votes. and more than a 100 years unanimous vote. so they're just trying to get these new countries into the european union as if they wanted to get them as soon as possible. so they could set the doors and make them sort of big european union family. but what type of premier we're talking about when people are cuing around european union nation countries, queuing to get bread queuing to get coal. it's not working. that's another headlined story today, a vessel carrying gray from ukraine, but for yemen departed on

yes, food to the european union. access to the market of the european union, therefore, buying here is all a matter of the european union, well, we understand that grain is easier to transport, so well, i do not know the same vegetable garden or the same tuber in general with transportation, as we have already said, i think that mr. dmytro knows this situation no worse than me, and maybe even better. i think that as a deputy he is addressed, including by small manufacturers and potential exporters who talk about the fact that now there are quite serious challenges regarding exports by land transport, because once again the queues are quite enough. well, we have a long queue for grain trucks. and in general, for trucks, here are the last ones. maybe i even put it on facebook, if i am not mistaken. there was a post of those who crossed the border. hmm, there is a queue of trucks somewhere . extends to departure from ukraine 20 km this is normal. well, you can imagine if we are talking about some fresh products, then standing up for such a queue and exporting it to the euro in the eu can

is preparing, the more powerful economies of the european union, because we understand of course gas is needed not only for the household for powerful industries in germany, in austria, in particular in france, how much are they preparing for this putin's gas blackmail, and again, are they seriously determined to survive this winter without putin, in fact, please, such actions are taking place in various countries of the european union. it is obvious that there are such uh, economic mobilization videos about what and how to reduce the consumption of hot water well, but this is a general i would say in general mobilization context uh, in economic terms, not in military terms, but the problem is to quickly build a terminal for obtaining liquefied gas that's why it's impossible. well, it's possible that there will be no transfusions in europe . i'm referring to the european union, but you know how to compare, eh, the fact that millions of even europeans there may not be very comfortable in not too heated eh houses, that's, well, one discomfort and another discomfort well, i would sa

europe may show reluctance to observe ukraine's membership in the european union. i think there are certain countries that are not at all interested in the expansion of the eu . you respond to the loan, you have the absolute right to become a member of the eu as soon as possible. i know that ukraine will soon finally give fighters to the terrible russian aggression to the russian troops, and therefore we will immediately move on towards the next steps of the european integration process , they are skeptical because they have not seen such efforts on the part of ukraine, but they are actually optimistic . an honest and fair society if you want to create a european society, you need to change the tax system, distribute taxes in such a way that those who really need them and also be afraid of the embezzlement of funds, because if the european union supports ukraine in its recovery, then many investments will flow into ukraine, but if our tax payers do not know who ultimately benefits from these funds, they will lose interest, stop supporting and be like this, and this

to some countries of the european union.emind you that yesterday, august 9, it became known that the hungarian oil and gas company has expressed its readiness to take over the payment of the transit of russian oil-transneft through the oil pipeline friendship through ukraine, because ukraine on august 4, it stopped the pumping of russian oil as a matter of friendship because russia could not pay for the transit due to sanctions, the payment did not go through, of course the russian federation accused ukraine of and stopped the transit one way or another. but as of now, hungary and slovakia, the slovak oil company, reported that they themselves paid for the transit of russian oil through ukraine. we are in touch now. gennadiy ryabtsev, energy expert, director of special projects of the psyche center, mr. gennadiy, we congratulate you. glory to ukraine i congratulate you, i am glad to see you as a hero, slava. please tell me what is happening around russian oil, which is still going to some countries of the european union , an

e strata of society, social e political e, in the necessary european union, the european union has theeys. what would you like to hope for? well i think the eu it's time to show more common sense to ban russia did not work. uh, sanctions uh, all events. we see how they work, i won’t comment on it, but already in the european union itself voices are heard about the need for more moderation in impulses and visa and economic energy. although it is unlikely that in the current collective western community of realism, so to speak, it will be easy to break through. well, let's see, let's see, let's, uh, carefully watch the development and at the same time we will study what we agreed on in prague but please tell me, here, in your opinion , the eu's visa policy towards russia, but if it can be called politics at all. i'm talking about the alleged restrictions e for russians on visas. is there unity in the european union, if there is unity in the west, uh, or is there some disagreement, this is on the one hand, and on the other hand. how can russia answer, in your opinion? in case of suspensio
