and about our successes in the euro-atlantic direction, because today the leaders of the european union at the summit in brussels approved the recommendations of the european commission on the opening of negotiations on the accession of ukraine and moldova to the european union. it was quite a busy day in brussels today and it started with the fact that orban, the prime minister of hungary was against giving consent to the opening of negotiations with...with ukraine, why did this happen, why orbán actually protested so much against the start of these major negotiations between ukraine and the european union, and we will talk about it in the first part of our program , because among the guests of today 's program will be our correspondent in european institutions, tetyana vysotska, and she, i think, will explain why orban was against ukraine after all, and how the leaders of the european union overcame the opposition of hungary. a big one happened today press conference of vladimir putin, and he said a lot , he said a lot of old things, but what he said for sure is that the goals of the

but the members of the european union may have another question. s imagine that you do not recognize kosovo, but normalize with it relations, but do not recognize as a state, and we see kosovo also in the european family, ugh, that means that your acceptance into the european union automatically blocks the european integration of kosovo, this cannot be, we will not let you take advantage of such a chance, that is, we can accept you only together, and in order for this to happen, we have to solve the issue of recognition. kosovo, and if it is not, then we have to get a guarantee from you that you will not block the admission of kosovo if we admit you to kosovo, and these are all matters that there is absolutely no solution, huh, and we understand that no guarantees that serbia wanted to give to the european union, they will not work either, because serbia already had the guarantees of the president of cyprus, who, when cyprus was admitted to the european union, promised that cyprus would fulfill the so-called anna plan, which envisaged. that referend

once a quarter, to present some new claims and demands to the european union in order to trade somethingremoval of the veto. and in fact, here today, and not only today, during this parliamentary term last week at the european parliament, the european deputies talked about it more than once, that now, after the european commission went to... the year with orban, part of his funds were unfrozen, 10 billion euros were unfrozen yesterday, and after that it is quite possible , that several of the same orbáns will grow inside the eu, because other states that are not democratic enough to understand the importance of the decisions taken at the european council, they can also start blackmailing and can also start vetoing various initiatives to get more money, preferences and so on, therefore... it is this system of the european union, one can say, that plays a negative role, that the european union is too democratic, and why this happened, because the european union, as we remember let's start with... a big elite club of states, states that are like-minded, states that think alike, that have ro

, and its candidacy for membership in the european union was received by georgia.ount what putin said... at the same annual press conference, and what he said in general about the non-enlargement of europe and nato's euro-atlantic structures, what did putin get as a result of the results of this summit? he received a very serious slap. i will remind you once again, do you remember putin's blackmail, when there was still an association agreement. and actually, by the way. should justice be given to those who were consistently in favor of european integration, and to those who made decisions in the government, in particular some people who are sitting in the parliament now, to block our movement to europe, it was a decision about yanukovych, but there are names not only the prime minister, but there are other names, in particular boyka's minister of energy, yuriy boyko, who is currently sitting in the parliament, and he is even included by some, well, imagine, yuriy... included in the statement of the parliament an appeal to this summit to vote , i'm not i think he h

the european union.aware that its procedure and rules of enlargement of previous years, they do not work effectively, and here it is said that each country must unify its legislation on eu affairs in 33 different areas and in 33 different chapters of the negotiating tables, as they are called, and each chapter is opened and closed by consensus, and here again there is a lot room for maneuver and to block, ah... the process of negotiations with certain member countries, that is why the european union is now thinking about what is possible in order to more effectively conduct negotiations with new candidate countries, it is worth reforming this procedure of opening and closing chapters, but for now it 's just so we'll talk about it, we will and we'll talk at all, i hope we 'll have enough time to talk about the general reform of the european union, i'll be brief now... i'll once again remind you of the main news of the last few hours: the leaders of the european union on summit in brussels approved the eur

in principle, serbia conducted negotiations with the european union quite well. she was one of the leaders of european integration when it comes to economic legislation. but then the europeans said: "listen, what about the normalization of relations with kosovo?" and the leadership of serbia replied: "listen, let's finish our negotiations, then we will deal with this point." to which he said in brussels: "listen, what's the point?". if you do not resolve this issue point, what is the point of spending taxpayers' money on conspiracy negotiations, this is a serious job of painstaking, so let 's get to the situation with kosovo to some extent, and then we will continue the negotiations, we will not close chapter by chapter, we see how it is doing great, and serbia stopped, not because it negotiated poorly, but because it stopped because the serbian leadership cannot recognize the sovereignty of kosovo, no. of these relevant moods in society, and the language is there, excuse me, i immediately i will ask about the recognition of the sovereignty of kosovo or normalizat

the european union. in the program. the summit of the european union, negotiations on the accession and support of our state, what are the realities and prospects of the european integration of ukraine. orban at the eu summit. has the position of the hungarian leader regarding ukraine changed and will it be possible to finally convince hungary? europe should prepare for war. russia's aggressive stance is intensifying, how can it be countered? during of this program...we are conducting a survey and we are not asking you about the prospects of ukraine in the european union, because we see that we are already entering the finish line, well, a long finish line, which will consist of victories. with 20 other members of the european union, we ask you whether you support ukraine's accession to nato, because this will obviously be the next stage of the ukrainian state in relations and negotiations with the european union and with the countries of the european union , including the countries of europe. if you thi

summit of the european union. talk about the accession and support of our state, what are the realities and prospects of ukraine's european integration. orban at the eu summit, has the hungarian leader's position on ukraine changed and will it be possible to finally convince hungary? europe should prepare for war, russia's aggressive position increases, how to counteract it? throughout this program, we conduct surveys and ask you not about prospects. of ukraine in the european union, because we see that we are already entering the finish line, a long finish line, which will consist of negotiations with 20 other members of the european union. we are asking you whether you support ukraine's accession to nato, because this will obviously be the next stage of the ukrainian state in relations and negotiations with the european union and with the countries of the european union, including the countries of europe. if you think that... ukraine has to join nato. vote on 0800 211381, not 0800 211 382. all calls to these numbers are free, call, at the end of the program we will sum up the results

being created, in fact such, and it is also interests, because if it will be built in fact in the european unionarately, and old europe will not like it very much, because it is obvious that britain, it is obvious that the united states of america will be happy to strengthen this union, because it is also a counterweight to germany, we must understand the complexity of all these processes that go, and understand that i didn't just say that to this mad man. and the question of money, and the question of money, does the european union have money for subsidies to ukraine, look, i recently looked at how pensioners, look, pensioners feel differently, they invested in poland, they invested in poland, in only officially, about 200 billion euros have been invested in poland, and until now poland receives subsidies from the european union of about 10 billion, it is still a russian country, well, this is poland, it is commensurate there in terms of population, and well, ukraine is more than poland and so on, for us it is roughly the same it is also necessary, then the question arises of where to get the m

collective for the european union, yes. nize kosovo. we are going to take him to the european one union or not? then imagine the european union, if it will finally look like a perfect structure after all these integration processes. albanians, yes, live in three countries at once in four. albania, serbia's border with kosovo, kosovo, and north macedonia. these are four different countries, but people in essence. hungarians actually united in one political space: ukraine, hungary, slovakia and romania. there are no more differences between the hungarian communities, by the way, this is what orbán used to say when he spoke about the european integration of ukraine, that this would be the end of the trianon. all hungarians will live in the same space. on the one hand, this is quite an interesting moment, on the other hand, it is a challenge for all these states, because you understand that the hungarians. which will be in one european space, the center of this european space for all hungarians will be not ukraine, not kyiv and

of the european union in order to restrain the potential reform of the european union and also the processi think that the conclusions are already now, well, i hope that the conclusions are now being literally formed for colleagues from many capitals and many heads of institutions, and we will still have to wait. to apply the procedure well in the future punishment of hungary in the future, although , unfortunately, we see that today, well... the union has succumbed to this blackmail, due to the fact that the unfreezing of 11 billion euros for hungary was announced, and well, this is a move that theoretically can allow orbán, and at least partly to meet all these persuasions and pressures that he is under today, but he somehow feels comfortable in this role of such a, well... bad policeman inside the european union, and this, well, this pleasure, he must be deprived, i think in in the future mrs. ivan, here is still not very pleasant news from us from poland, the new government headed by donald tusk supported the embargo against ukrainian grain, the new minister of agriculture of poland, c

to leave the european union.rhaps the most important point, why the european union cannot allow such behavior by orbán, because in the conditions of these eurosceptic sentiments that are growing in the european union, they need to show that the institution is stronger than any individual country in the context. making joint decisions, and so that similar processes do not take place in slovakia, so that this does not happen in the netherlands with a possible next prime minister with anti-european intentions, all these separate players, that the european union is an institution with values ​​and with some common aspirations , you either support them and you are in the team, or you do not support them and work somewhere, and you can make one more remark, when it was brexit, there was a very popular slogan in britain, it was very often written on the walls not only in britain, but now it is also written in europe and... the slogan is as follows: separation is not the solution, it must be understood that the collapse

, which are little used in the member countries themselves of the european union, fought for ouropean future, and then, as a matter of fact , a political decision was made, er... with the understanding that if the european union does not support the signing of the agreement, then, well, the question arises, in general, on what values ​​does it stand european union. yes, that was 10 years ago, and what has happened now has some parallels for me, because, well, you could say that this is a really big victory, first of all, for the european union itself, when they overrode orbán's veto of the to start already. the negotiation process regarding ukraine's accession to the european union. i emphasize once again, 10 years have passed since we signed the association agreement. but on the other hand, you have to look at things realistically. yes, this is a historic decision for the european union and for ukraine to return ukraine to the bosom of europe, but there may be years, years, years and dozens of vetoes by orban and others on the way to this decision. therefore, i simply ask everyo

accession to the european union. and there is a second very important point that many people in our country do not understand that joining the eu is not only an issue of the verkhovna rada, the government, it is an issue of the whole. people, because we have to transform from a small village to a city and to every ukrainian, so friends, i am convinced that this idea of ​​joining the european family is what concerns us today, one of the key issues that concerns us today unites, without any objections, that's why we are going to europe, glory to ukraine, word. of the entire ukrainian nation, we express the will and action of our defenders at the front, our people in the rear, and every ukrainian who temporarily, i repeat, temporarily found himself outside his native homes due to russian aggression. in our native land, we want free media, we want a free market, we want free ukrainians, and for this we are integrating into the european union. the motherland faction has implemented and will continue to implement all regul

the european union and specific countries of the european union, gave such a strong statement let herstand that there is no need to tease, yes, the tiger, to pull his whiskers, because the further economic and political blackmail of the european union for hungary, and especially for the russian-oriented orben, can end very negatively and not only fly... but for orbán, even very specific proceedings in the gas sector. oleksiy, in your opinion, how will russia act in order to slow down, and to what extent. is it possible the process of rapprochement between the european union and ukraine and what significance does it have for them? russia will use all possible cracks, even in our relations with the european union. i will tell you, my friends, that there are actually still a lot of these cracks, because ours is neither an economic sphere, nor a political one, nor a legislative one, they are still very... far from being adapted to the european union, therefore the russian federation, taking into account hybrids, gerasimov's hybrid strategy , well, there will definitely be something to pla

well, there is generally a block here, serbia is not going to do it, and the european union is not goings issue. well, that is, if yes... to be continued the accession of montenegro to serbia in the matter of european integration, montenegro will also stand still, as soon as these issues are divided, they will agree that montenegro, after all, it is a completely different process, and then montenegro has a chance, and it is the only country, which has a chance to join the european union in the near future, much more complicated issues with the countries that are, so to speak, in the queue for montenegro, serbia is north macedonia and albania. in albania , the situation with corruption and organized crime is very complicated. the majority of the countries of western europe there simply demonstrate their reluctance to have such a problematic country in the european union from the point of view of legal and law enforcement issues, and there is a very strong opposition regarding north macedonia, in fact now its accession to the european union is being blocked by bulgaria, which wants the nor

you think ukrainians should would be to learn or borrow from the croats now on our way to the european unionnd they were professional. to break therefore, i will tell you right away that ours must be strengthened, because we were given seven prerequisites, we barely fulfilled them in a year, and you understand that, compared to what we need to do, it is 1.5%, 1, we barely made 5% in a year, so if you are asking how many years it will take, well, multiply by 1.5%, yes, it is a lot of years, it turns out that if we work at such a pace as in this... .

, which are rarely used in the member countries of the european union. of the union, fought for our european future, and then, as a matter of fact , a political decision was made, with the understanding that if the european union does not support the signing of the agreement, then the question arises, in general, on what values ​​does it stand european union? so it was 10 years ago, and what has happened now evokes certain parallels in me, because, as it were, you can say that this is really a great victory for the first. the turn of the european union itself, when they overcame orban's veto to begin the negotiation process regarding ukraine's accession to the european union. i emphasize once again, 10 years have passed since we signed the association agreement, and on the other hand, we have to look at things realistically, yes, this is a historic decision for the european union and for ukraine, so that return ukraine to the bosom of europe. but there may still be years, years, years and dozens of vetoes by orban and others on the way to this decision, so i simply ask everyone

other things, and fizo, who before that said that the war will interfere with ukraine in the european union, well, in the perspective of changes, why are the eastern eastern european countries, which are basically from... what is a soviet boot and the boot of a soviet soldier, why are they so against ukraine, this is a purely economic issue, that is, there is common european money that ukraine, hungary, and slovakia claim, or here there is a second, third reason, which i asked to talk about zelenskyi orban to name the reasons why , why they do not see us in the european union, well, of course, this is also... the issue of funds, which is not unimportant for each of these states, but still and, again, i can speak about the deputies of the european parliament, the session of which i monitored all this week, they are inclined to the fact that there is a very clear russian trace here, especially with orbán, especially with orbán, who, by the way, also depends on russian energy carriers, and who recently managed and shake putin's hand and do many. buying and selling statements in his direction,

the european union. e european continent. of course, the cleansing at the edges is specific, as for serbia, i think it is important to prevent the expansion not of the coalition, but of the number in general. they’re definitely not afraid, it doesn’t exist, there’s no need to have any illusions about this, money, money is much more important, americans simply don’t have enough money to buy everyone, as they did before, before it was much easier, but today, taking into account that they are beginning to outperform european production to the united states, to restore its own industry, then here the situation is much more complicated, and the country, any country, becomes very vulnerable when elections begin. they are simply a product of this new american colonial system, and yes, nato is simply one of the restraining factors, the facts of training the european union elites, and yes, the european union, in my opinion, is absolutely perceived as a food source, and not as an ally or even a junior partner, that

on the one hand, the extremely successful summit of european union leaders, which is ongoing in brussels. yevgenia, and at the same time we are trying to find out what will happen if the financial aid from the european union is delayed, because the american aid is currently also suspended. you have the floor, mrs. yevgenia. yes, good afternoon, well, first of all, i congratulate everyone, this is really such a historic victory for all ukrainians, our armed forces, diplomats. parliamentarians, who were also involved in this, voted the necessary laws, and it is very important that the leaders of the european union felt this symbolism, so that after all, a way must be found and actually orbán is out of the game, and macron and scholz really played their role here, and it was such a delicate game, well, actually, on the day of... the summit, on the morning of the summit, it was not yet obvious, so that this decision would be , now regarding the 50 billion hryvnia facility plan, the decision, it has already been conceptually adopted , only legal formalization remains, and indeed charles miche

china is willing to cooperate with the european union, and there is no need to introduce sanctions against each other. to some extent, he even promised that china would influence these companies and this would not happen again. the europeans took into account these words of the ambassador, they took away the list of companies, just chinese ones, and left only some other countries there. but after some time , the ambassador said, well, actually, this is a matter of business and the chinese government, of course, it cannot influence business, that is, it was very nice that he removed the responsibility, so we see that european leaders began to talk more concretely with china about the purpose of this support in re-exports as well, that is , it is important for ukraine that relations with the european union and china should still be built from this point of view. because it is a certain safeguard against china joining in full assistance to russia, because you and i see such certain elements of this support, and they are weighty, unfortunately, for the fact that russia can continue the war aga

what then is the european union? uropean countries that think differently, then the european union cannot consider that this is a strategic threat, because the european union, according to the consensus formula, must represent the point of view of all member countries of the european union, not two, not three, or countries of which. relax a little, because the world sees everything perfectly well, by the way, fiona hill is talking about the same thing, a lot of experts speaking now , they say that the world today can find understanding on the russian federation and the conflict between the west and the russian federation, western countries and diplomats it just doesn't work. from amazing, which means he says the european union is expanding, because the european union is a magnet, but it is not a fact that this is good for the europeans themselves. he says that if we compare the amount of assistance that was provided to ukraine by the united states and the amount of assistance that the european union provided to ukrain

there are quite yes... but like hungary they are beginning to abuse the opportunities that the european unionthem, so in the future they will blow on the cold, we have to understand that this is the decision of the european council, it was, in my opinion , the last political advance for ukraine on its way to european, to membership in the european union. actually, ms. ivano, yes you emphasized this very well, because... er, nine years is the average number, how long it takes a country from the beginning of this process of joining the eu, to the very entry, some experts say that with ukraine it can be faster , because we don't have easy conditions, but on the other hand, we understand that if we don't tighten the legislation here, if we don't tighten all these things that are needed as part of the homework, then they won't be happy to see us and not only hungary will block it. our accession to the eu. your predictions as long as possible take all this? well, according to my calculations, the average time for the advancement of countries between candidate status and the acquisition of full memb

, in general, is what orbán eventually proved to all the other leaders of the european union, the member states of the european commission that the current decision-making mechanism is weak, and if this mechanism can be blocked by one of the leaders, then it obviously needs to be changed. there have been talks about it for several years, this year france with germany took initiatives to reform the decision-making process, and now it seems to me that this process is irreversible and will be changed later. the decision-making mechanism itself, and secondly, orbán can be happy that he is a staveif for an hour, orbán can be happy that he was persuaded by scholz, macron, michel. but orban should also be aware that there are now many more people who want to deprive hungary of the right to vote in the european union through the application of the third paragraph of the seventh article of the treaty on the european union than before, and it is quite likely that that... the union will launch this mechanism, especially taking into account that now orban has not managed to build any coalitio

in the limited space of the european union, now this is the european continent, and clearing uply underway. and as for serbia, i think it is important not to allow the expansion of the coalition, but in general the number of voices that are heard broadcast precisely national interests, so sovereignty is a bit of a concept that has undergone changes today, it is difficult to interpret it accurately, but here are national interests, pragmatism, then, which vuchit says to a greater extent in both slovakia and hungary. can’t imagine their life, they openly admit this to lexus vavan, in these wonderful pranks, that they are simply a product of this new american colonial system, and yes, nato is simply one of the restraining factors in the training of the european union elites, and yes , the european union, in my opinion, is absolutely perceived as a food source, and not as an ally or even a junior partner, that is, what junior partners, if... you don’t sovereign, what kind of partners are there, you are a food source, so you need to be insected so that you move into the category of c

we do not consider the proposal to start negotiations with ukraine on joining the european union unreasonable european commission has presented its proposal and now the eu member states must decide on the next steps, including the start of negotiations with ukraine on membership. immediately following orban, the head of the slovak foreign ministry juraj blanar said that he does not imagine ukraine in the eu under the current circumstances, that is to say, in the conditions of war. ms. iryna, under these conditions, when, in principle, two countries are talking about the fact that there is no need to start negotiations with ukraine on joining the european union, as it can be perceived in in the context of european security in general. the european community to which we belong , that is, are they playing into the hands of the kremlin in this case, or are they playing along with vladimir putin, or do they have their own interests and we are preventing them from receiving loans from the same european union, such as or aid from the european union, such as hungary, what is the connection between su

, leaders of political parties, member states of the european union should communicate with theirizens, not our ukrainian politicians directly with the citizens of the european union there, but their politicians, because it is also their responsibility, how to form support, how to make budgetary decisions nature, because every member state of the european union, especially the key most powerful ones, germany and france, as well as the scandinavian countries, fill this budget, from which, we hope, help will come. and support, here is precisely the reasoned communication of their political leaders, it is extremely important, the system is available , they recorded your position, thank you, bohdan ferens, an expert on international issues, joined our broadcast, they were forced to fly a long route, left without dinner, and then more shamed in front of a universal boycott. the visit of the minister of foreign affairs of russia, sergey lavrov, to the summit of the organization for security and cooperation in europe, which is being held in the capital of north macedonia, skopje, is, to

ukraine will be provided by two countries located in europe, but at the same time not part of the european union union, namely great britain and norway, and i think that the help from these countries, after all, great britain is one of the largest economies in the world, norway is also the last economy in the world, help from them. will allow ukraine to go through this period, while neither the usa nor the eu gives us the necessary help, then most likely positive decisions will be made, because after all, in the united states of america they understand that investment in ukraine is an investment in the victory of the western world against everyone in europe knows russia and its allies the results of research conducted recently by the german council outside. their relations, in which it is directly stated that in the event of ukraine's defeat in 6 to 10 years, russia will start a war against the european union, including germany, and in order to prevent this from happening, it is necessary for ukraine to win, and similar studies, they will checkmate europe, help, i mean the european union, help u

is very concerned about these statements about some kind of expansion of the european union at case when there is a systematic deindustrialization of europe itself, when only i’ll tell you the numbers in 20. in germany at that time, 25% of companies had already begun to withdraw their production from the eu, and another 50% announced. that their plan is to withdraw these production facilities from the eu, what kind of expansion can we talk about, now let’s look at those countries. slovakia, austria, the netherlands are already thinking, but hungary, slovakia and austria, don’t think that these are some kind of marginals. the marginalized, they would be told, sit down and don’t make noise. and behind them are specific elites of this alpine region. southern germany, western. france, northern italy and austria are strong industrial regions. and the local elites are mainly businessmen, fused with such a thousand-year-old aristocracy, they oppose it. these are the ones who created the european union, the house of habsburg, all these business elites. and it seems to me that in genera

well, i wanted to receive a nice gift at the end of the year, so i would say a solution of the european unionather of the european council, well and in general, well... that it was initially a decision of the european commission, now of the european council, i would say that this is a great christmas gift to both ukraine and moldova, for which we are very grateful to them, and this really a surprise it happened because, well, i assumed that orban could be persuaded there for two days, and there was even information that the meeting could be continued on saturday, but it happened on the first day, and it was a really pleasant surprise, you know, our colleague from... said , who joked on the sidelines, in particular mark rutte, about the fact that he took many shirts with him and that they are ready to sit as long as necessary until a decision is made regarding ukraine. well, we also remember that the day before president zelensky was in norway, and actually everyone expected that he would fly to brussels, but as it became known this morning that he did not fly to brussels in order not to annoy

, which are little used in the countries themselves, of the european union, fought for our europeanfact, a political decision was made, with the understanding that if the european union does not support the signing of the agreement, then there is the question of what values ​​the european union stands on in general. yes, it was 10 years ago, and what happened now has certain parallels for me, because, well, it's like you can say that it was really led... victory primarily the european union itself, when they overcame orban's veto to begin the negotiation process regarding ukraine's accession to the european union. i emphasize once again, 10 years have passed since we signed the association agreement, and on the other hand, you have to look at things realistically, yes, this is a historic decision for the european union and for ukraine, to bring ukraine back into the bosom. europe, but there may still be years, years, years and dozens of vetoes by orbán and others on the way to this decision, so i just ask everyone to understand correctly, that this decision is an unambiguously posit

this is a game for his electorate, whom he feeds with money and subsidies, including from the european union, who knows, maybe some personal curiosities that might spill over to him from moscow, we don't know, but we can assume so. therefore, yes, hungary is a very heavy stone, but let's do it, well, you know how our stonemason advised every ukrainian to hit the rock. i want to continue the topic, because you emphasized several times that when poland joined the eu, there were many who were against it, and in particular at that time. and the french producers saw it as competition, and recently, for example, the news, you may have heard it, when the french winemakers stopped a truck with spanish wines and threw away all the bottles, so stories like this, they happen directly, and here, given that what ukrainian products are already creating competition for european manufacturers, you can see what similar outbreaks there can be on the ground, we are not even mentioning it now, although it is... inappropriate to block the polish borders, let's not mention the blockade at the checkpoints, meanwhi

ukraine has started consultations with the european union regarding security guarantees. the office of the president of ukraine informed about the first round of negotiations. ihor zhovkva, deputy chairman of the op, and charles friese, secretary general of the european external action service for peace, security and defense, took part. during the negotiations , the parties exchanged visions of approaches to future eu security guarantees with an emphasis on security and defense issues. future ukraine's membership in the eu is in itself a powerful guarantee of security for our country and the european community in general. we greatly appreciate that already at this stage we are discussing concrete steps to strengthen our common security and strengthen the stability of ukraine. ihor petrenko, a political scientist, joins our broadcast. mr. igor, congratulations. i congratulate you. in the context of security guarantees, what exactly can we talk about and how long will these guarantees be. well , collectively, if we're talking about the european union, are these tracks from b

in principle, serbia conducted negotiations with the european union quite well. e of the leaders of european integration when it comes to economic legislation. but then the europeans said: "listen, what about the normalization of relations with kosovo?" and the leadership of serbia replied: "listen, let's finish our negotiations, then we will deal with this point." to which brussels said: "listen, what's the point? if you don't solve the problem." this point, what's the point of spending tax payers money on negotiations with mava, it's serious hard work, so let's get the situation with kosovo to some kind, and then we will continue the negotiations, we will not close chapter by chapter, we see how great it is does, and serbia stopped, not because it did not negotiate well, but because it stopped, because the serbian leadership cannot recognize the sovereignty of kosovo, there is no for...

about the fact that there is no need to start negotiations with ukraine regarding joining the european union how can this be perceived in the context of european security in general, the european community to which we belong belong to us, that is, in this case, they are playing into the hands of the kremlin, or they are playing along with vladimir putin, or they have their own interests and we prevent them from receiving loans from the same european union as or aid from the european union, such as hungary. with what is the connection between such and such a position of hungary and slovakia? you know, i believe that under any circumstances, we have to do our own thing, that is, we have an understanding that our country must overcome the path of european integration in order to later become one of the member countries of the european union. at the same time, you and i are fully aware that the contributor of certain moods, destructive moods, in particular, whether it is hungary or the newly elected prime minister of slovakia, is directly the ability of mr. putin and his fifth column to influenc

achieve with the help of economic levers, and they partially succeeded, if we remember how the european unionf coal and steel, around joint exploitation and... the big problem is that, or rather one of these problems, that the leadership of the european union, all the institutions of this association, they have become large bureaucratic units, and these units are led by european officials, and whose career depends , among other things, on the support of the united states, they are already building a career for themselves, moving to certain perches, because today he sat somewhere as a european commissioner. alexander lukashenko's trips, work belarusian diplomats, such an extensive map is being provided today for mutually beneficial conditions for further cooperation, you know, the enemy is not asleep, he only has time to observe the movements of the belarusian leader, and this is a truly successful year, so i want the final word on the program today to come from your lips, let's summarize, i started with the fact that we are now experiencing... a political revolution, because the collective we

the summit of the european union will take place in mid-december, namely on the 14th december 15. uropean leaders can make a historic decision to start negotiations with ukraine on joining the european union. but the media write that this is one of the most difficult meetings. including because of hungary's position. what do you think the decision might be, or is there a possibility that it will be delayed until march? well, i would not like to see such a development of events. i think that ukraine deserves it now. the ukrainian people, ukrainian citizens deserve this. my colleagues, ukrainian deputies, worked over legislation. therefore, ukraine has fulfilled all the recommendations of the european commission and it is already obvious that the european commission gave the green light and recommended the council of the eu and the european parliament to start the negotiation process. so for us, it's absolutely clear. there is only one obstacle, and this obstacle is viktor orbán, who is trying to blackmail us not for the first time. solutions may vary. of course, orbán plays his nati

the european commission is not concerned about the netherlands leaving the european union. active participation of the netherlands in the eu, said a representative of the european commission. wilders is also known for not being very hospitable to visitors. he openly spoke rudely, for example, towards the moroccans, but during the election campaign. reduced my anger level somewhat. we will make sure that the netherlands become a country for the dutch people again, we will limit the flow of refugees and migration, people will again have more money in their wallets. after the announcement of the results , we can safely talk about the intensification of anti-ukrainian rhetoric in the netherlands. the leader of the freedom party openly speaks out against hysterical russophobia in europe. wilders came to moscow in 2018, when friendship with russia in europe was already considered a movie after the referendum in crimea. now amsterdam's allies are worried that another nato country will stand on side of russia. dutch minister, the far-right's election victory makes me worried about s

, which is the council of the european union, under the chairmanship of charles michel, who, inticular, make decisions about the sanctions packages, and communicated with appropriate authorities, which are also engaged in reviewing the effectiveness of sanctions packages, diamonds are good, but not enough. e restrictions on the transportation of crude oil are good, but they are too little, and these are weak steps that will not add efficiency and determination to limit financial flows to russia. well, i want to say here that this is an important step, but we expected much more such, well, stronger steps. we know that there are countries in the european union, in particular, like belgium and spain, which seem to be such positive countries, they help in ukraine, they are developing renewable energy as another sanction against, against the russian criminal regime, against putin, but they are also the largest exporters of liquefied natural gas, and certain countries, in particular greece, in particular in the lacton gulf, have constantly carried out, kept the russian tuna fleet and

if something doesn’t work out, then it doesn’t work out, you can re-vote it, secondly, for the european unionnext year there are elections of the european parliament, and this is a question of now orban, well, they say, go out and have some coffee, by the way, in my opinion, who said, it seems like scholz is fighting for this, but here... will this unanimity be necessary in the future? now there are elections to the european parliament, they will again intensify the discussion on how to revise european european legislation, so that in the future no hungarians and others there, who have a small voice in general, would not interfere with the bureaucracy, and would not interfere under our feet, would not interfere with us underfoot, i think that ursulovia has now reported that everything has already been completed there. well done everyone, but not everything was completed, the second point was the allocation of 50 billion euros, it’s true that this is for several years stretched out, but still, the ukrainians talked about the fact that we will now receive 50 billion euros, and this is precisely

well, considering the fact that hungary itself receives large subsidies from the european union. n is fighting for this, too, not just to prevent ukraine from entering there, but because there is a lot of money at stake, mr. mykhailo, orban and fitso, and maybe someone else will emerge in the process of our accession to the european union , how do you think, ot our neighbors will understand that we are also a european state and have the right to this, or will they... engage in speculation and bargain for the best, considering the fact that ukraine will try to join the european union, and the european union will also try to take unfortunately, they will take ukraine to themselves, but will it help them , colleagues rightly said, it will not be a problem only for ukraine, including our european partners and the european union as an institution, which they also need to carry out reforms. because one or two cannot state simply to dictate the agenda to others, that is, it is clear, moreover, if we speak in slovak, we are grateful to the slovak people and the previous government, becaus

the european union has started negotiations with ukraine on joining the european union.last 10 years, we have been working towards this event and quite actively, i mean, and tried to bring this day closer and bring the negotiation process closer to the last. a day before the leaders of the european union made this decision, the leader of hungary , viktor orbán, said that no way, but it turned out that he simply went to the toilet during the vote, and the leader of the european union voted for it. you, as a person who fought for the european future on euromaidan in the revolution of dignity, and then in the war, what do you say, what are your feelings, what do you have... about how we will go through this big negotiation process with 20 members of the european union? well, let's be honest, it's been 10 years since we got to this point, it's true, but we 've come this way, we started with visa-free, then we signed the association agreement, now we've already started the negotiation process, i'm happy from the point of view that well, that's for sure, no matter who knows wh

particular , we will talk about whether meetings at the level of the highest and joint bodies of the european union have already been announced in chika, which recommend starting a real process for ukraine european integration is no longer at the level of consultations, at the level of practical actions, whether they will be stopped by the hands of two or maybe three members of the european union, we know from where we know that even practical moments, this does not mean that tomorrow or in a week we will be in the european union, it will start very long, but will they start, let's ask dmytro tuzhanskyi, mr. dmytro, we congratulate you, glory to ukraine, yes, they tell us that you are not the best, we already see you, the director of the institute of central european strategy and the founder project, reopen a person who knows very well. hungary, hungarian politics and their official such, i would say, hostile to ukraine, 10 days before the summit, and orbán says, no, it is not possible to discuss even the issue of ukraine's accession, which he wants that time, in my opinion, before the visit charle

and this it was the tenth year, march of the tenth year, when they did not destroy the western european unionly subordinated their military development, according to the american plan, that is, by and large, this... on march 31 of this year, it was adopted the concept of the foreign policy of the russian federation, where , firstly, the priorities of our foreign policy, our closest partners were clearly defined, and russia really for the first time received the definition that russia is a state of civilization, eurasian, euro-pacific power, the closest strategic partners, who are ours, so to speak, there are not the closest partners , including it was stated there that there is such... to remind you that, in general, this bank has gone through some very interesting paths, and if we talk today about, in quotes, poverty in germany, maybe not even in quotes, then the central bank played a very tragic... role in the fate of today's germany, but firstly, the central bank of germany, it is of course not independent, the gates of individual banks , separate lands, he passed some of their own develop

hungary is completing the reform of the judicial system in accordance with the requirements of the european unionf the european commission, and today the reform is completed and tomorrow the european commission. should publish a document in which, most likely, he will make a statement that hungary has fulfilled its obligations and part of the funds from the frozen 22 billion, let me remind you, can be unfrozen. here's one the european commission will most likely make a gift to hungary tomorrow, but what orbán will do in return, whether he will agree, for example, to concessions with regard to ukraine, it is not known whether he made any promises, or it is just for... please show your some such step in response , because, for example, if we talk about the issue of starting negotiations on ukraine's membership in the eu, then, unfortunately, we can see from the latest news how orbán tweets a so-called public opinion poll, which says that 72% of hungarians are against it , in order to ukraine became a member of the eu, and he writes that they say, you see, we are fulfilling our will. of our citizens

really feel this competition, that's right, this competition is... always present inside the european unionbut there are also certain balancing mechanisms, so to speak, within the european community, protectionism as well, especially agriculture, if it concerns the internal market of the european union, for example, in the context of even the same latin american countries, for which the european market was also a priority, and which are quite difficult to enter agricultural producers on... mechanisms that allow us to gradually, so to speak, enter this market, this is the first, second, over time, it should balance, and when, hopefully, ukraine will become a full-fledged a member of the european union, and here , perhaps, our partners have more questions not only about our products and sales, that is, competition, but also about dota. from the budget of the european union, because according to the calculations for today, that is, the lion's share of the budget, which focuses on supporting, for example, the agricultural, there farms of the european union for the countries that join, the lion'

that says no or questions it the beginning of ukraine's transition with the european union, this is hungary, viktor orban continues, let's say, to express a special opinion, sir. volodymyr, tell me, from the point of view of our european future, how long hungary will be an obstacle for ukraine, whether it is an obstacle not only for ukraine and a problem not only for ukraine, but for the entire european union. well, the fact is that hungary played along to certain sanctions of the european union. that is , there are a lot of warnings and financial assistance in the amount of 20 has been stopped . information has appeared that the european union is ready to unlock 10 billion of this aid if hungary does not budge, conditionally speaking , that is, in essence, hungary is offered to provide suspended financial aid, because hungary's economy is currently suffering, and this will allow orbán to feel in the eyes of his voters that he is a winner over... village, because he himself provoked this enmity with, as he says , with brussels officials, although in fact his actions and his black
