hungary is such a thing.hen a hater sier who makes such categorical statements as you say. and he is already carrying out his policy here. it is important not to forget that the reverse gas, oil, maybe electricity or others let's say this is critical for ukraine, i don't know the products of things there, including those that go through hungary , yes, hungary does not supply us with weapons, but there is a whole list of things that we have and can that is, to receive it is one of the corridors of ukraine there to the west, including to the ports to trieste, for example, that is why it is very important that politics be politics, but technical things there are new checkpoints, roads, railways, which are now critical for us in the directions of poland, slovakia, hungary romania is very important. it is a broad and narrow line to build, that is, categorical statements , you know. well, i wouldn't call it so categorical what mr. podoliak said, sometimes even more categorical statements are heard in the european u

orban is doing in hungary and why the european union is now saying that hungary is no longer a democracysimple, viktor gorban is engaged in maintaining power in hungary, he has been in power for an unprecedentedly long time, now he is in power the longest of all european leaders, he is even longer than mr. ryuta in the netherlands . continuously govern the countries but it is natural to compare the netherlands and the elections in the netherlands with the elections, if not for the first time hungary is recognized there as a hybrid democracy, the only thing that happened now is at the level of the european parliament. the report of the mep in argentina, which was approved and prepared in 17-18, and it was also the start of the procedure under the seventh article of the union treaty regarding the violation of the basic values ​​of the european union. well, the consequence may be the loss of the right to vote in the council of the eu, but you see , if from 17-18 it did not work for families in mind, then well, i am actually quite skeptical about this procedure, but as far as the freezing of

well, the second point is that hungary usually trades in hungary, there are very difficult relationsh brussels, the funds are frozen and they are, as they say, in a position to bargain for themselves. the best option is complex - it's not only pro-russian sanctions. and about those 7 billion euros frozen there as a risk and 5.7 billion euros from european funds. well, the third such point should be understood that hungary is trying and is a voice not only for its own interests, but and those german, first of all, business circles that are against these sanctions and want to return to business with russia as soon as possible. that is, you know this. hungary itself will not block anything, despite this rhetoric, if it is not supported by certain circles in germany, france in in italy, of course, nothing will work out for her, there is no need to watch this. that is, in ukraine, we need to work in these capitals, in paris, berlin, in rome, er, thank you, and er, we would very much like to ask dmytro to give your comment on the matter after all the situation that concerns bulgaria concer

why did hungary not do so much to spite ukraine as it understood? and what without her voice? decision will be adopted because there is no need for unambiguity, and secondly - they wanted to think about themselves once again to remind the european commission that, look, you are allocating money to ukraine, and our money is frozen there from the post-covid recovery package. and in general, there is a question with regard to the main european funds for hungary, which can also be blocked due to precisely the violation of the rule of law in hungary itself, this is such a new procedure in the european union. the minister of foreign affairs of hungary, petersiyar, called on all institutions of the european union to provide guarantees that russian nuclear energy will not fall under the sanctions of the european union. he noted that in the first sanctions package of brussels, it was said that nuclear energy should not fall under the epicenter. we call on the european commission to guarantee that all brussels institutions national bodies and banks working in europe will comply with the

is this an example of how hungary, in principle, talks about ukraine?t the hungarian government, the hungarian state institutions, see ukraine as a country, no, not quite. but very much . it was noticed in some official documents or in some statements of e-e officials a-a, in principle, this case is well, the first in such a public more or less discussion is what we see in this textbook, and also in this textbook it is indicated what transcarpathia is er, a backward region and read this argument. well, yes although from time to time, from the state institutions of hungary, for example, it was heard as an argument for allocating financial aid to the residents of transcarpathia and aid to the businesses of transcarpathia. changes inserted by hungary regarding the russian invasion of ukraine. has there been any change? there are fresh data from the public institute that researches public opinion in hungary . and they testify to this data literally yesterday were published today, and they indicate that the level of support for viktor gorban's policy regardi

well, this is not the first time that hungary has already started such tenders.ct, in june , such a discussion began within the european commission within the european union about the change of voting, yes, as if there was a qualified majority and there was no country of the right-wing branch. such statements of the member states of the european union well, they are getting closer to such a decision, especially those related to international political issues, ah , what, hmm, orban understands who he is fueled by, how he is fueled, and who he is ideologically, and this is really already the european union. if he had realized the threat from the middle and it's just that ukraine is currently such a-ah, i will try to be a model of a civilizational aspect of a-ah that stands up for whom european values ​​and now the european union is returning to its values ​​and understands that it is necessary to change and reform the procedures in order to be effective, operative and efficient, and that's why it seems to me that it's so much the same inside, well, in a good unders

well, hungary can block european integration at the final stage. its government consistently takes pro-russian positions on the issues of european sanctions against moscow and the purchase of russian oil and gas. well, now let's introduce our guests with us today in the studio, dmytro vasylov is a political consultant and in touch with us, but on sotnyk, the adviser to the deputy prime minister on european and euro-atlantic integration of ukraine and bohdan ferenc is an expert on international issues. so, gentlemen, let's get started, dmytro, with you. we heard that we have ambitious plans to become the eu record holder in terms of the speed of obtaining status. how realistic are these plans, how ready is europe for us so quickly? accept, well, first of all, there is already a certain example of the ukrainian decline of the second we have certain statements from the president of the european commission, an example of which when we were going to visa-free i think that most of the countries of the world and most of the ukrainians did not believe that

to hungary, where two significant stories are emerging. that the european parliament says the eu member state can no longer be considered a full democracy. a report adopted by a clear majority described it as an "electoral autocracy in which elections are regularly held but without respecting basic democratic norms". it said this had happened through deliberate and systematic efforts by the right—wing government in budapest. let's hear from our correspondent nick thorpe on this. well, as far as viktor 0rban's fidesz government is concerned, it's the latest criticism, as they see it, the latest unfair criticism of their rule. they've been in powerfor 12 years. they're proud of their own... ..all the changes they've made to the hungarian constitution, to the hungarian justice system, to the hungarian media and so on. but over those years, the criticism has grown. the number of allies that viktor 0rban and his government have had in brussels, and indeed elsewhere in the eu, has diminished. now they've lost their great ally, poland. so hungary

words about the possibility of hungary leaving the european union. a member of the european union, but you know , if it is an ally of russia, then it will be taxed from all sides, so to speak, by putin's opponents, and the situation will be the same as with serbia. they might have something. and they wanted more there. more somehow positive and loyal or friendly gestures towards russia, but geography does not allow them to be hostages of geography, and so is hungary this is also the case for turkey. it may appear because they will say, well, you are like the union if you threaten greece to your allies. that ’s the same thing. why do you need nato, and here the turks are also wondering if they really should be outside nato to cover themselves with an umbrella. nato, with payments, with some other things, you can behave defiantly, but it is not infinite, so i think that the west in the next six months, maybe until the middle of next year, will draw certain red lines for these revisionists in its ranks. for two and that everyone should say yes yes no no

there is no hungary. who use them, the authorities offered to buy up to 10 m³ of wood directly from forestries at a fixed price three times lower than in the baltic states, the maximum temperature limit is not higher 19 heat. so far, only in the buildings of state institutions, gas reserves from russia are very cold. hungary should pass relatively calmly, but into a country that is showing unacceptable for modern the sovereignty of the european union is clearly in for a politically cold winter because of these news vorontsov oleg polishchuk, hungary in derbent, cafe visitors were poisoned by carbon monoxide, according to the ministry of internal affairs of dagestan, only 13 people, of which several were minors, according to medics, three adults were in intensive care. now their condition has been stabilized according to preliminary information. the cause of the poisoning could be a malfunction of one of the units for cooking on the spot, an investigative group is working. queen great britain elizabeth ii

for a long time hungary has been like this.k sheep of this stage because we know how behaves hungary urban has actually turned into an autocratic leader of the country there is no de facto freedom of speech and they cooperate very closely and here is how in this photo with putin with russia and they receive a lot of funding from there and i would like to emphasize separately that we in no way we are not talking about the hungarians themselves, there are wonderful people and among my acquaintances there are also such people, but we are talking about the political leadership of this country and the course that the political leadership of this country is taking, and if we talk about economic development, have you heard anything about the special successes of hungary in economic development perhaps they have some extraordinary gdp growth there and they may not look back at european money, they have these tens of billions of dollars, look, they had a significant economic growth after leaving the of the soviet bloc, they carried out

and this is, it's coven recovery plan that, that hungary has requested. so people are watching very carefully. it is also see what happens with this 6000000000 euros that's been withheld. and to see whether the new ways that hungary hopes to address the kind of corruption concerns will also release this other trench of you funds to reach sholtes in brussels. as always, many facts world leaders, including us president joe biden, have begun to arrive in london ahead of queen elizabeth's funeral. on monday. thousands of mourners have been queuing in central london for a 4th straight day, hoping to see the coffin of the late monarch. thousands continued patiently wait in a kilometers long queue for a chance to glimpse the coffin of queen elizabeth the 2nd. as she lies in state at parliament's westminster hall in central london. some mourners were treated to an unscheduled walk about by king charles and his son, william, who came out to thank those who had been queuing over night for several hours. commentaries. why, from birmingham? just to give a parish with

today, hungary is considered a hybrid regime of an elected autocracy.wording reached by political groups. in essence, the eu legislature calls on the council of the eu to launch a procedure that can to attract severe sanctions against budapest , namely the deprivation of the right to vote in the european institutions, which hungary has repeatedly used by stalling, in particular, decisions are needed, well, with the latter wanted, for example, to block the extension of anti-russian sanctions, this is a procedure that should be repeated every six months, and hungary wanted three russian oligarchs who are considered by the eu to be involved in the invasion to be removed from the blacklists, and in the end withdrew this demand, the sanctions were extended today without excesses , hungary edited in the summer and the plumbing package number six and having obtained an exception for russian pipeline oil with his veto. viktor urban, who is called vladimir putin's lawyer in the eu, generally said that sanctions are ineffective and primarily harm the european uni

thank you zoryana stepanenko, radio svoboda correspondent . relations of ukraine and hungary, for thiswe are adding to the conversation the brother of the head of the hungarian community of kyiv in ukraine. i welcome you on the air of the marathon. good night. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes, so what do you think? the statements of orbán that were just discussed. i know that you are also well acquainted with them, how this can affect the relations between ukraine and hungary in the future, because we see in this pro-russian rhetoric, of course, not only in the future, it is bad. i think that they already have a bad influence and influence the hungarians themselves of hungarians in hungary and i believe that this is very damaging to er-er hungarian er-er relations in er-er ukraine ukrainian-hungarian relations and here the point is not even that what you said there is pro-russianism or that it is no longer first not once, not a second time, not a third time, and in the end , i believe that hungarian society should first of all be prepared and, so to speak, bring everything vlad, b

the peculiarity of hungary is that it can lose these funds altogether, you know.t is we are already running out of time for using the package, that is, or something needs to be changed there. 7.5 billion are new possible sanctions, possible losses within the framework of the new monetary program in the european union, and again, they are related to the same procedure, i.e., non -compliance with hungary's legislation on corruption, tender procedures, transparency, this is one of the decisions announced by the hungarian government, they will create a new or another anti-corruption agency, that is, the ukrainian context is very much like this, it is necessary to understand what these proportions are in general budget until 2027, hungary should receive 22 billion euros from the eu, we are talking about at least a third that hungary will lose, and maybe even half if we also take the package. that is, this is serious money that no one will be able to compensate russia. well, theoretically , but now russia is not in a position to she compensated hungary for something. mo

well, then, unfortunately, there will be a lot of arguments in a country like hungary, which does not want this, others will have such arguments, that is why there is really the path that we have to take, but the key issue is really on the front, they can turn a blind eye to something, and the key issue, i will say once again that the fear of russia and its actions will decrease a lot and the confidence that ukraine in nato itself will strengthen the capabilities of both nato and ukraine - this is the moment that will open a window of opportunity for us. plan, understanding that the key issue of security is to watch carefully not to make mistakes in the work of the law enforcement system of ukraine. by the way , you mentioned the volunteers. this morning in lviv, volunteer svyatoslav litynskyi was visited by law enforcement officers, and they were employees. they searched the kyiv department of the national police of ukraine and looked for evidence of the sale of a car that was used as humanitarian aid for the armed forces of ukraine by some chaplain, well, that is, some in general, a

and with paksh, thanks to new capacities, hungary will also receive cheap energy and will have enough of it until the end of the century, and the fact that the decision to issue a license was issued in the conditions of the island of the ukrainian conflict shows that the issue of energy independence turned out to be much more important for budapest has to pay for such autonomy and underlined independence. first, the czech republic economy, that the armies for anti-russian sanctions there said that hungary should be excluded from the eu cooperation with moscow, then the european commission announced that hungary is now not quite a democratic country. and brussels even offered to freeze the payment of the seven and a half billion euros due to hungary, the reason for budapest being allegedly not good enough. fights corruption in this hungarians. trying to convince the press. urban defends russia's interests in the european union writes popular hungarian magazine on the cover is a symbol of the two main european problems of the moment. it would seem that they have finally moved away from

why, first of all, urban is another not all of hungary. and for example, in the same format, rammstein hungary was taking a role in its role. the government in hungary will change today. it is so populist. why is he doing this? well, there are different estimates and speculations. there are also facts about his involvement and receiving funds from his party. in the elections from russian projects. that is, this is not an isolated case in other countries, the same thing happened, i will not be surprised if urban takes some position, then you have things to do. of the interests of europe against the interests of the european union, conclusions should be made by orbán, of course, of the hungarian people, who now mostly support the driver for today, but this may change and brussels, which gives the fund to hungary, which is in the eu, i think that because the position is such an absolutely clear position, it means that statements are not even only the actions of the members of the european union must correspond to the common foreign and defens

well, hungary is the only eu country that does not provide weapons to ukraine and blocks the transitn territory. the head of the hungarian government says that the supply of weapons will only prolong the conflict. well, this essentially coincides with the russian narrative . hungary and against providing ukraine with five billion macrofins however, the rest of the countries agreed and the decision was approved today by the european parliament, another his decision regarding hungary itself will continue if the remaining 26 countries in the council of the eu except their own hungary will recognize it as a violator of european values. well, they will agree in principle to sanctions already against it, and whether there will be political will for this in all capitals is difficult to predict, but the head of european diplomacy and the german chancellor supported the need to abandon the unanimous approval of important decisions in the eu precisely by this and hungary is using it to block those it wants now enough as you know there are many eu countries well , the european commission is dis

and acting at odds with the european union, is it possible that hungary will really be excluded from the european community, well, that is up to brussels, and it is clear that the members of ukraine do not think that this issue will be on the agenda now, but actually, when they start discussing it so, in order for budapest to fully listen to the position of brussels and the common position of the european union on what, so to speak, with russia, it is necessary to introduce a position that we can verify, one that is supported by the european union itself. thus, budapest's signal he left, voiced it, it was voiced by the czech side, which includes only the greek group, the visegrad group, you know the czech republic, slovakia, hungary and poland, the greek group, due to the position of hungary, stopped meeting at all for this pro-russian e-e mass that is heard periodically, i will write it down, so to speak, we will assume that viktor gorban and the hungarian ruling party received some kind of verbal warning or whether it will react to it, we will see, because the mechanisms for exclud

vladimir putin held a meeting on economic issues with the government and the head of the central bank hungary refused to shoot herself in the foot and will probably survive the winter with russian energy. however, resistance to the eu budapest may threaten with isolation pressure and threats are already intensifying. let's start with the news of the last hour from the zaporozhye region, the khaimar themselves hit a residential village, according to the authorities, two women died as a result of shelling in zaporozhye, three more were seriously injured, and agricultural equipment was destroyed. a private warehouse with grain was destroyed; we are the building of a zaporozhye pig farm. the authorities emphasize that there were no military installations in the village. well , the whole day was submassed by ukrainian militants today, donetsk as a result, only in the kuibyshev district of the city, 13 people were killed among those killed. including two children, the tragedy occurred in the middle of broad daylight ukrainian missiles hit the store and stop at the baku komissarov square sokol marke

but talking about hungary, well this legislation has immediate effect on hungary, for instance, on media owned by oligarchs, close to the government. of course it's going to be used. it's are actively, sorry, i'm a lawyer, so i have to mention that. but this law sets the criteria for which will be used for assessment of concentration of media ownership. and i, i believe that although monopoly guests sma, which we see in hungary functioning ah, of would not be possible. would not have been possible with such a laws and critics in hungry or, or a saying that this proposed legislation is a concealed threat to freedom of speech though is sir the commission protecting their freedom of media by restricting freedom of speech by restricting opinions that the commission doesn't like, this is a fatal misunderstanding. i don't know if i made a mistake in communication, but ah, by server. so we want by this law to increase the protection of the freedom of speech. that's why i also mentioned the platforms that that should be special treatment fault, the professional journalists to be able to place th

well, he still wants to lose funding from the european union to the prime minister of hungary, viktorn war in ukraine may last until 2030, while ukraine has a chance to lose from a third to a half of its territory, the head of the hungarian government said this at a closed meeting of his fidesz party, the hungarian civil union well, this is not all about what is happening now in ukraine, that is, in the russian war, mr. orbán blamed the west. the west and made it global and now about 40% of european industry can just stop, why are there politicians , leaders of states who make such statements, lukashenko is pretending to be an oracle again oh, how many times he already pretended to be him and is trying to predict the future. the united states of america is pushing europe to confront russia on the territory of ukraine, and for the first time since the cold war, humanity is on the brink of a cold war, the self-proclaimed president of belarus said the day before during a speech at a forum dedicated to the day of national unity for in the words of a man who has been claiming for more than

hungary will continue to receive cheap energy and will last until the end of the century, and the fact that the decision to issue a license was issued in the context of an acute ukrainian conflict shows that the issue of energy independence turned out to be much more important for budapest has to pay for such autonomy and underlined independence. first, the czech republic economy, that the armies, because of anti-russian sanctions, said that hungary should be excluded from cooperation with moscow , then the european commission announced that hungary is now not quite a democratic country. and brussels even offered to freeze the payment of seven and a half billion euros due to hungary, because budapest allegedly is not good enough at fighting corruption in this hungarians. trying to convince the press. urban defends the interests of russia in the european union writes a popular hungarian magazine on the cover of the symbol of the two main european problems at the moment. it would seem that they have finally moved away from the image of a bear. well, no, here he is on four pages of the au

in fact, hungary has never been so close to signing the eu funds documents is now a matter of weeks,udapest continues to move towards energy independence on the construction site. the excavation of the future aespax-2 is already underway . despite all the upheavals of global politics, rosatom managed to obtain the main license for implementation, as well as documents on the melt trap for the reactor vessel and the construction of the buildings of the so-called nuclear island. this is the first time we receive these licenses in the country. eu in the country nato uh, confirmation of our russian technology vvr 1200 generation three plus the most modern and safest nuclear power plant nuclear units of our design, which are already operating, as in the russian federation at the leningrad station, well, the voronezh station in belarus every second light bulb in hungary today is lit thanks to four power units station one built by soviet specialists. and the consumer price of a kilowatt-hour here is 10 times lower than in germany. it is not surprising that budapest, which conducts issued a b

they said that hungary can no longer be considered a democracy , and the majority of deputies condemnedf viktor orbán's government to undermine the foundations of democracy in ukraine, and by the way, there were also such statements about about hungary it is possible to introduce some sanctions e-e in the czech republic they made such a proposal and the czech republic is now just the head of the eu and even the european commission was information that plans to recommend this funding to hungary well so far because of corruption but nevertheless, please tell me, as far as i know, there was no precedent, but can you correct me now, can we expect any sanctions from the eu in relation to an eu country like hungary, in particular for its position on ukraine, well, for its position on sanctions against russia, she does not support sanctions, she supported all the previous seven packages, although she did not mention any, the seventh was not the most. and does she support the eighth, this is the question , isn’t it more in jewish goods that such comments began in a very uh, non-public format at

, dmitri ah, let's see what has been happening with hungary lately after such statements, after suchion. and first of all, there are 7.5 billion euros who today are questioning whether this money will be provided to hungary within the framework of special projects of the european commission, and maybe this is the money that hungary will not receive, and maybe ukraine will be able to ask the question that this money will fall into the wallet of ukraine for recovery after the victory in this terrible war. this is the first second. today there are even voices saying that hungary does not meet the principles of democracy of the democratic country that it declares itself to be. it may even be necessary to ask questions about hungary leaving the european union in the near future. because it meets the principles and standards, that's why they say that there are no mechanisms at all to exclude hungary, obey when there is political will, mechanisms can appear, by the way, do you remember by the way, oleksiy talked about the fact that e-e gas is also considered a part of green energy. whatever

the money is intended to bring hungary economy and infrastructure up to the block standards. the suspension must be approved by a majority of e. u. member states. within 3 months. they are p commissions. accusations against hungry as prime minister aren't new. earlier i spoke to milan niche of the german council on foreign relations, and i asked him why the use political executive made this announcement now. because sir, it runs its processor. this isn't an important step in the you mechanism called la conditionality, which was approved to read that the 7 year budget almost 2 years ago. but then poland, hungary turn to the european court of justice to object to, to, to it's a commitment that it's not complied with or without you treaties. and also after the court decided that otherwise you bring commission notified, hungering government with its objections. all right, but at this stage it is still just a proposal. is victor or bon going to accepted to what do you think his response will be? the response from budapest already to day is very unusual. it's. it's very positive lo

the moneys intended to bring hungary economy and infrastructure up to the block standards. the suspension must be approved by a majority of e. u. member states within 3 months will for more, let's bring in milan need. she's an expert on central and eastern europe at the german council on foreign relations. hello and welcome to d w. so the use accusations against hungry as prime minister. this is not anything new. so why did the use political executive choose to make this announcement now? because of the drums it's process, this is an important step in the you mechanism called law conditionality, which was approved to read the d 7 your budget almost 2 years ago. but then the, the hungary turn to the european court of justice to object to, to do with that. it's not complied. we do, we do treaties and also after the court decided that, otherwise you bring commission notified, ongoing government with its own junctions. all right, but at this stage it is still just a proposal. is victor or bon going to accepted to what do you think his response will be? d ah, respond from budape

you cannot actually see something happening in hungary or in poland or we had an issue in slovenia. we see some negative trend in many other member states. and are, you know, like you reply and 9 times i cannot do anything. and the time you are not willing to refinish it any more. so the solution is the european law. i will honestly try to convince everybody that this is a good thing. we will have may be difficult. the legislative process for everybody has to admit that the media are not protected enough, but talking about hungary, well this legislation has immediate effect on hungary, for instance, on media owned by oligarchs close to the government. of course it's going to be used or actively, sorry, i'm a lawyer, so i have to mention that. but this law sets the criteria for which will be used for assessment of concentration of media ownership. and i, i believe that although monopoly against smile which we see in hungary functioning ah, of would not be possible. would not have been possible with such a laws. and critics in hungry are already saying that this proposed legislation i

and that is by withholding approval of hungary recovery budget for coven measures. and that's a $6000000000.00 fund. so that's been held up as well over these corruption charges . but this certainly seems to have struck a chord in budapest. struck according budapest bow is budapest, been reacting to this that's right. the, the hungarian government knew this was coming. and in recent days, it suggested that it would change its laws and put in place some more anti corruption measures to bring itself into compliance with what it believes the commission wants from it. and they said that these laws would be passed the middle of november. so certainly it remains to be seen if that goes through you member countries have yet to cast their votes, as you well know should what happens now? that's right. this will go to e, you heads of state and government now. and the commissioner, commissioner hon today, gave hungary to months to changes laws to prove. he said that it was going to improve its performance in rule of law, before the you had to say would have to make a decision.

to recognize the pseudo-referendum in reality hungary i think she will not do it why because now hungary me of the gas contracts of tymoshenko and then when we returned this money to stockholm in the stockholm arbitration, uh, what russians because of uh, the sales gas contract , it was a nightmare. for us, this is happening right now in hungary, despite the fact that there is a monopoly full of it completely media-controlled businesses, this is how hungary now resembles the authoritarianism of yanukovych's time, when the clan family decided everything, it was impossible to start a business without orban's approval . he is very afraid, he depends on the money of the european union , at the same time we spoke with the mayor of budapest , budapest is different from the rest of the hungarians who watch this propaganda television where they show the russians as great conquerors who they are doing everything right and for some reason we don't want to look there and so on. that's why we have to work with the opposition. we invited the hungarian politicians who are in the opposition to visit ky

a-a we have not seen , but due to the anti-western international policy of the hungarian leader, hungarye deprived of eu funds, i will also note that this is a parallel process launched due to claims to the rule of law in hungary and its own end it has not yet arrived and intrigue remains, and currents will arrive please, thank you , zoryana stepanenko was live from brussels on radio svoboda well, at this very moment, the funeral of queen elizabeth ii of great britain is ending in windsor the ceremony began this morning in london and with a memorial service in westminster abbey , to which more than a thousand people were invited, among them the prime minister of ukraine denys shmyhal and the wife of the ukrainian president olena zelenska zelenska is also on the list of five hundred heads of state distinguished guests invited to the memorial service and reception organized by king charles the day before . by the way, elena zelenska met with kate middleton in london. the princess of wales held this audience at buckingham palace. it is noticeable that official representatives of russia were

and that's how it's pressure on budapest today, the kremlin commented hungary remains a member of the arise, by the way, about this decision, you also need to look at the dynamics of the development of this situation, because uh hmm there were also reports that a certain plan for settling budapest was already being worked out. um, hmm hungary takes a sovereign position on many issues, that we welcome, that we welcome, we continue to closely monitor the situation. the proposal of the european commission to impose restrictions on budapest is not supported in warsaw in poland it seems they began to understand that after hungary they might be accepted because of them. here is how the prime minister of the country commented on this situation. will more strongly oppose any actions of european institutions that intend to illegally deprive any member states of funds, in this case , in particular, hungary here are 60 freezes of 65%, now we are talking about these revenues and budapest has both at least a month to take obvious measures , if the european commission is satisfied with this work, t

unfortunately , hungary is right, and in fact, we see that some russian oligarchs and suddenly declared door to the kremlin are explaining to our allies that, for example, do not introduce sanctions against abramovich because that he helps us a lot. i don't know how abramovich helps, i know for sure that he helps the russian army to arm itself, which then destroys the ukrainians, but what about his help in we are not a huge question for ukraine. maybe he is helping some specific ukrainians, then we should also say their surname, mr. volodymyr. thank you for this conversation. minister of infrastructure of ukraine in 16-19 years, diplomat, military serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine. volodymyr omelyan was on our air. well, today is the 200th the day of russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine, let's remember how it began and how these 200 days passed. the battle for kyiv is a key episode of the first stage of the full-scale war, which began on february 24. russian troops pushed towards the capital at once from both banks of the dnieper, but were never able to reach it. ukrainian de

well, hungary would also like to see parts of the territory of other states in their wet dreams.s it? the destructive role of this state has been blocking our approach to nato for a long time. even before the war, a decision was made and they actually passed a law on, on the one hand , simplifying nato access to the territory of hungary. of course, hungary is not capable of repelling any external threats on its own, but on the other hand, in the same law, there was actually a ban on the transfer of any weapons to help ukraine and its territory , and that is why it is really such a trojan horse that must behave not very consolidated and he doesn't really look at the security concerns of other eu members in a perebroshenata and actually in the eu if we are talking about energy and other security. and that 's actually why it can be considered such a trojan horse next to us. well, it's a pity because i i just looked and they said that next to us in the immediate vicinity we have a border with this trojan horse well, unfortunately well, but we hope that the leadership of this country

that is the capitol hungary.fleeing the horrors that russia was unleashing on their homeland. as a journalist, i covered the story by reporting the facts. at the time, hungry, like many countries surrounding the ukraine, was taking in tens of thousands of people. hungarians were, for the most part, welcoming to most of the ukrainians who are trying to enter. however, unlike in neighboring poland, much of the on the ground work was being done by ordinary people and non governmental groups, including religious groups. i doubt it at the time that the government could and should be doing more. i also noted that hungary under prime minister victors ruhle had taken extremely far right turn. as a history of disregarding democratic norms. that criticism, i have learned, ruffled some feathers, manifesting in a letter that was written to my bosses at nbc, complaining that my legitimate criticism of the hungarian government, which is my job, was regarded by him and his cronies as interfering in his efforts to be reelected.

then exclude hungary, listen when there is political will, mechanisms can appear. by the way, do you remember oleksii ? russian gas, but today if there is such a position and such aggression of the russian federation, we will no longer pay attention to it, even if it will be very cheap, that's why the position with the euro is also because there is political will, just like with hungary, even if there are no mechanisms, they can appear in order to make a decision regarding the country that violates the principles of the standards of the european union, well, at the moment there is no procedure as such. dmytro is right, again, if there is political will, the procedure can appear, let's remember president zelensky, who said about an equally respectable international organization called the united nations, which has existed for more than 75 years. this organization was created in order to ensure peace, stability and keep the standards of maintaining peace in the whole world are at the same level as they were after the 45th year, unfortunately, this organization does n
