the european union, without the fulfillment of which further negotiations on accession ukraine's accession to the eu is impossible, european commissioners emphasize. ukraine needs to create a reliable history of prosecutions and sentences, as well as ensure a sustainable fight against corruption. for this, ukraine must take further systematic measures, in particular, restore the system of electronic declaration of property and implement the adopted state anti-corruption program. all controversial points are currently being finalized. and i think that this issue will be resolved within the next few months in the fall. i think for sure we will close this issue and, most likely, declarations will be submitted in just a few years this means that in the 21st and 22nd, the country's leadership proposes to create its own anti-corruption history, in particular by closing bribers among the employees of themis . the council of national security and defense of ukraine proposed to strengthen the responsibility of judges and other employees of judicial authorities for crimes in justice and corruption, we suggest

to ukraine, which is counting on a political invitation to nato , the search for an optimal solution that will suit everyone continues, the secretary general of the alliance is invited to the summit eu leaders promises ukraine in vilnius a strong signal of support and once again emphasizes the most urgent task of focusing on military aid. if we do not do this, there will be no membership that we can discuss. it should be noted that here we also see nato's connection with the european union because the eu's decision to grant ukraine the status the candidate also affects the discussions of what is happening inside nato kyiv is counting on a political invitation to nato in vilnius signals that the alliance is ready, so far there is no tension against the background of the search for consensus, zelenskyi is growing declared that if the allies show a lack of courage, he may not find time to visit the lithuanian capital in the final declaration of this, just like ukraine , they also confirm their readiness to contribute to the security obligations to ukraine so that it can deter aggression in the future , but what kind of contribution and more to be decided discussions ahead from brussels

our geopolitical interest, and it is necessary to immediately include moldova, ukraine and the balkan countries in the eud then think about what reforms need to be carried out, this approach will lead to disaster because we will weaken europe the final assessment of how ukraine has completed its homework the european union plans to give in the fall if the conclusion is positive kyiv and brussels will be able to start negotiations regarding membership already this year, ms. ivano, is ms. ivana with us? yes, yes, i also wanted to say that yesterday the european parliament adopted a resolution that, in general , supports ukraine until and after the accession of ukraine, which begins the path to nato membership, however. there is also one of the points that urges president zelenskyi not to sign the scandalous law 56-55, the so-called law on urban planning, and where in fact many powers of the city government and local self-government are taken away and given to this cabinet by cabinet verticals in particular, however, to decide who will build what in the cities, where, for how much, and this is a truly scand

without completing the process of implementing the current agreement on the association of ukraine and the eus, the commitments it has taken if ukraine does not fulfill these obligations to carry out reforms, ukraine can start negotiations on its accession to the eu. that is, this is what we are actually striving for, because it is clear that all price reforms cannot be done quickly, and uh, in this project that i have uh right now we are talking about the fact that the european parliament still calls on the european union to start negotiations on the accession of ukraine to the eu already this year. as for nato, the european parliament calls on the nato member states here he can only call for direct influence on the alliance he won't accept ukraine's application for accession already at the summit in vilnius on july 11-12, and actually, from the fact that you listed some things that are absolutely real and some things are so slightly in question, can we talk about this actually , tatiana? i will ask very briefly just to say that what still needs to be worked on, what is actually in question,

understand your very different positions on this a specific question, but briefly about ukraine's membership in the eua similar position, with your permission , i will answer first today i want ukraine to become a member of the eu, but you say what will happen with weapons, that is why it is very useful for ukraine to have a european perspective, they need to fight corruption, they need to fight bureaucracy, they need to solve all kinds of problems in the country, and the process will be long from this point of view. we must be there to help them work together because we need allies and we need to fight against russian influence not only in ukraine but also , for example, in africa. i think that for ukraine as well as for moldova there is no shortcut, they need to follow it step by step in order to become a member of the eu, do you think that ukraine's place is ultimately in the european union , they need to follow step by step to become members of the eu, so there can be no exceptions here, they need to go the same way that ukraine, which is now a member of the european union, has overcome. i think t

and of course, the decision to grant ukraine the status of a candidate country for eu membership has its impact on the discussions that are going on in nato regarding the possibility of ukraine's accession to the eu, according to the head of the european council, charly, mice or the question initiation of negotiations on an appropriate process, the leaders of the countries say about december on this topic itself, this topic is not on the agenda. but what the leader will have to talk about is the possibility of using frozen russian assets for transfer. whose ukraine to restore jose barrel, for example, the head of eu foreign diplomacy said that the eu can turn the european peace fund into the defense fund of ukraine, but at the same time, the use of russia's frozen assets causes protests not only in some countries the european union but also the european central bank, with which negotiations were held on the eve of this summit, in particular, the media became. it is known that the head of the ecb. christine lagarta fears such actions by the alliance could lead to growing distrust of wo

so , what are the most necessary steps that ukraine should take that will speed up the accession to the eu ? very good, and regarding the other five, the progress is very good. therefore, ukraine is working hard and i believe that if this speed remains, all the conditions will be fulfilled by october, when we will issue an important written report childing translation, what should be done in the reform plan, or maybe we are demanding too much there is a lot, after all, the country is in a state of war, cinema, air view into much of ukraine , ukraine, beatles, this tabor is what is most impressive , that despite the war, ukraine continues reforms with great determination and stability, the speed of accession sums up the country, ukraine wants to be quick and show that it really deserves it, we show the result and i have you let's talk about the eleventh package of sanctions against russia, we know that there are still several issues that have not yet been agreed upon, what are the most difficult issues of this 11th package of sanctions is almost ready, there are still some technical issues

ukraine is ukraine is the only ukraine that is not yet a member of the eu but has full accesskraine has access to research and innovation programs horizon to mobility programs erasmus and also to our cultural cooperation, creative europe, we opened our programs for ukraine in such a way that in my field of competence , ukraine is a de facto member of the european union because it can take advantage of many opportunities that our member countries enjoy. for ukraine as far as i know , ukraine is the only country not a member of the eu that joined the horizon program, but purely as an example of the quality and intensity of our relations, israel and ukraine participate in the horizon program, but the united kingdom does not participate in it. do you understand this it shows how deep our cooperation is. but will the ukrainian market be interesting before the end of the war luke, look, ukraine actually has a trade agreement that is very deep, the market is open, we provided free access to the single market of the european union for ukrainian exports at the beginning of the war , we

main issue is this . that budapest is not moving in the direction of the eu regarding the war in ukraine euers met on tuesday to discuss what they call eu values ​​in hungary hungary's minister of justice on his way to the eu meeting from the european parliament he strongly criticized the minister of justice of hungary says that germany europe does not respect the values ​​of the european union as well as democracy and the rule of law in hungary . has been released, but hungary, a member of the union, is against this policy, and this has caused discomfort and resentment to brussels and washington . this war does not exist, so it is best to stop it, and the only solution is a ceasefire. they say , sir, he is right that the eu is too the progress of the war in ukraine is focused and interrupted. here in brussels, people say that everything is over, here is there, but we must not forget about food. europe and other member states are trying to get better results in the upcoming elections, but the cost of living crisis will be one of the determinants in these elections, so maybe this is just the

analysts say the main issue is that budapest is not moving in the eu's direction on the war in ukraine . eurs met on tuesday to about discuss the values ​​of the european union in hungary . the minister of justice of hungary strongly criticized the european parliament on his way to the meeting of the union. the minister of justice of hungary says that the european parliament does not respect the values ​​of the european union, as well as democracy and the rule of law in hungary. chih park will definitely use it if it is necessary, and the only institution in this field is the european parliament. europe has so far coughed up 10 billion euros for weapons for ukraine, but hungary , a member of the union, is against this policy and this causes brussels and washington have become upset and resentful. there is no victory here, so it is better to convince everyone that the only solution is a ceasefire . saipa experts say that mr. is right that the european union is too focused on the advancement of the war in ukraine. definitely nokia. it increases here in brussels, people say everything has happ

the eu countries there are no restrictions on any conspiracies and there is no pressure from the eu on ukrainehe head of the eu representation in ukraine yet there is a war going on, it is not necessary to fulfill these requirements, it is known that ukrainian legislators took part of the law on language, which establishes these quotas as they are, and transferred them to the law on media, but there was no pressure from the eu on this, ukraine should also change the legislation on national minorities to fulfill this task new europe rated 8 out of 10 , according to the representatives of the venice commission , ukraine, in particular, should allow events in the languages ​​of national minorities without translation into ukrainian , as well as publish books in the languages ​​of national minorities , the requirements are planned to be fulfilled in a year, he says deputy prime minister yaka on issues of european and euro-atlantic integration between ukraine and the hungarian side today signed a protocol that provides for this structure of the introduction of our educational reform into the educat

in the form of a guarantee, talking about european integration, do you think that ukraine will become a member of the eu in the short and not the long term? i have already mentioned that i really see ukraine as a future member of the eu and i also consider it mutually beneficial for all eu countries and for ukraine. i would also suggest connect it with the post-war reconstruction of ukraine. i can even imagine a certain marshall plan for ukraine, which would not only allow the rapid development of ukraine, the restoration of all the destruction caused by the war, but also the path to joining the eu, providing such great support in many areas would actually mean a set of rules that will have to be followed in order to do it properly, it will also be a learning process on both sides, the admission process for any applicant country for joining the european union must go through stages in which successive goals will be achieved, but they can be effectively used in the process of reconstruction. so, if we look at these processes in parallel, i believe that the perspective of becoming a member of the eu shoul

i believe that the prospect of becoming a member of the eu should be very clear for both ukraine and the eu, and i really believe that it will be good for both sides. speaking of reconstruction, you were recently in ukraine and the czech republic announced that will take part in the reconstruction of the dnipropetrovsk region. how do you see this process and the role of the czech republic in it? of course, my country has no ambitions to rebuild the entire region, but we are talking about some areas where we can provide expert assistance and our resources have already been identified for six projects, some of which are already being implemented from the transport industry to medical and industrial aid i believe that we must begin the implementation of these projects without delay there is no need to wait for the end of the war and a large part of the reconstruction can begin now and the sooner we start, the better it will be for everyone, such cooperation will raise millions of mutual understanding and increase opportunities, because reconstruction is primarily about opportunities. we

the presence of ukraine in the eu somehow. precisely, the european partners , who will accelerate ukraine on this path, to what extent they get more leverage on ukraine in this way, and including if we are talking about transparent the use of money, if at least the negotiations will start, they already have such important but the most important thing here is that i have a non-standard position, the most important thing is not to join the eu as soon as possible, but to create a european bureaucracy first , to adopt its european values, first of all, the rule of law, so that it is already in ukraine has established and worked, and only after that we can organize now a large part of european norms, which provide for example a great discretion, that is, a great opportunity for officials to decide something at its own discretion in europe, in the countries of old europe, it is considered an advantage because it is common sense, it is flexibility, not all situations can be foreseen by law, we use it mostly in order to exercise such

requirements of how to reform the european union, what procedures to change in order to accept ukraine into the eu, but the situation is repeating once again the situation before this situation, which is due to the accession of ukraine to nato, no one imagined this a year ago. in a year, it requires clairvoyant abilities. today, poland is our unofficial lawyer who defends the interests of ukraine , with whom it is most difficult . to nato or to the european union and european society. and who do you think is the most difficult with the germans ? i think you are right. there are certain expectations regarding the relationship between ukraine and hungary, on the other hand, if we are talking about germany, this is already a more systemic issue, it is already traditional, it stems from the traditional policy of germany, which was very close to russia before russia's aggression against ukraine well, it is also certain that germany cares about the shape of the european union as a whole when such a powerful player will appear in the european union what is ukraine because then even the demographic point

in 2008-10 glory to ukraine and andriy to the heroes good day what about the summit eu in brusselstoday we have an important statement about the readiness to support the readiness to contribute to the future security guarantee for ukraine from the eu side. we are asking you for an analysis to this should mean in practice, and we understand that there are countries in the eu that support ukraine more, there are those that support ukraine a little less or in fact do not support it at all, as it will actually be in the context of the whole community. and does this not mean that it will all be cooperation between specific countries the european union is primarily an economic and legal structure, and the security factors there mainly concern e-e migration e-e aspects , as well as the security of a specific person in specific circumstances, security, what is called civil security of people, also the police, and so on. and in in this regard, the eu has developed legislation and relevant mechanisms, but in the lisbon treaty on the european union there is an article in which it is said that

believe that the main issue is that it is not moving in the eu's direction regarding the war in ukraine. eurs met on tuesday to about what the european union values ​​in hungary call for dialogue . the minister of justice of hungary criticized the european parliament on his way to the meeting of the union. the minister of justice of hungary says that germany does not respect the values ​​of the european union, as well as democracy and the rule of law in hungary. what do you think? the european uses it if it is necessary. in this context, the european parliament has no other choice. so far , it has spent 10 billion euros for weapons, but hungary, a member of the union , is against this policy, and this has caused discomfort and resentment to brussels and washington. to win here it doesn't exist, so it's better to stop, that the only solution is a ceasefire. saipa experts say, sir, he is right that the european union has focused too much on the continuation of the war in ukraine. i will speak there, but we must not forget the palestinians in thousands, we must not forget syria, we must forget

but there are different situations. of european integration and bilateral relations between ukraine and the eu congratulate you good day ukraine year with candidate status, what did you manage to do and why only two of these items were able to be fulfilled, i will tell you right away, it is really important an event for our european integration progress is that a year has already passed since that day when we were granted the status of a candidate for accession to the european union together with it we have received, i remind you and myself, seven recommendations that are a prerequisite for negotiations on accession the european commission's report on ukraine's implementation of these seven points i want to say right away that the fact that the european commission's statement clearly stated that ukraine has fulfilled two points does not mean that we have no progress in the remaining areas simply and as successfully as possible. we were able to implement these two points, two recommendations, one of them concerns the media reform and the other concerns the reform of the judicial system, and thi

union to carry out reforms within the framework of the current agreement. on the association of ukraine and the euat is, negotiations can begin before ukraine completes the promised reforms. the right to reform with the new system, as well as the fight against corruption regarding ukraine's membership in nato, it is even worth applying the document of the european parliament calls on the allies of the fan to fulfill their obligations regarding ukraine's membership in nato, and expects that the next seals in vilnius and washington will pave the way to inviting ukraine to nato membership the european parliament clarifies that the actual process of ukraine joining nato should begin after the end of the war , the european parliament also calls for the creation of a temporary framework for security guarantees for ukraine, which will also begin to operate after the end of the war and will continue to operate until the beginning of ukraine's acquisition of full membership in nato after the end of the war, russia must pay reparations that will be used for the reconstruction of ukraine, european deputies b

the eu leaders don't think it is the right time for ukraine to join the eu, davis said as much when itnerable neighbour —— they have said. both ukraine, moldova and georgia were granted candidate status last year. they are in a hurry to join. the conversations today among the leaders, having them there other table alongside the leaders, may be giving them a little bit of leeway, giving them a little bit of leeway, giving them a voice, making them feel perhaps in some ways they do have a seat at the table, if not an official one. mil have a seat at the table, if not an official one-— official one. all right, jenny hill, we are expecting _ official one. all right, jenny hill, we are expecting a _ official one. all right, jenny hill, we are expecting a news - official one. all right, jenny hill, . we are expecting a news conference in the next little while, so why not start, we will return to moldova. meanwhile in ukraine — at least three people have been killed after another night of air strikes on ukraine's capital kyiv. officials say that a child was among the victims. here's james wat

zelenskyi, his appearance was a surprise for journalists that this is our common future in the eu, ukraineeady ready to be part of nato, we are waiting when the alliance will be ready to invite ukraine to join its security guarantees are important not only for ukraine but and for our neighbors moldova , due to russian aggression in ukraine , aggression in another part of europe is potentially possible. security is one of the key issues that the president raised at meetings with european colleagues, and they volodymyr zelenskyi talked a lot with the prime ministers of albania and north macedonia, the president of the european commission, ursula fondelaien, the president of romania, and the british prime minister, richie sumac, and almost every one of them mentioned that the security of europe today is in the hands of ukraine, so today they actively discussed strengthening air defense and providing to our armed forces of f16 fighters and the training of our pilots download the film we live thanks to the prime ministers with president zelensky regarding the training of ukrainian pilots for ma

he has made it very clear that he wants ukraine in the eu and part of nato.ments which are certainly echoed by the moldovan leadership too. it is no accident that this summit is happening in this country where residents are concerned. moldova has great reason. it is wedged between ukraine and the eu and has that breakaway region transnistria which is controlled by pro—russian separatists. there are russian troops on the ground there is a hangover from the way in which the soviet union fell apart and the way in which it did so in this particular part of the world. the leadership of moldova is very plain. it leads heavily towards the west and once to join the eu. it leads heavily towards the west and once tojoin the eu. they it leads heavily towards the west and once to join the eu. they are very adamant on that point and on the eve of the summit, the moldovan president said once again that she wants eu accession negotiations to begin by the end of this year. both moldova and ukraine have been given candidate status officially as has georgia. particularly a cou

eu's... he said that the ukraine - to prigozhin. the eu's... he said that the ukraine what l to prigozhin. t the ukraine what is cracking russia. do you think this is a window of opportunity for ukraine cosmic allies to capitalise or do you worry we could see the russian president further consolidate power and even maybe escalate the conflict further? possibly. so we have to — conflict further? possibly. so we have to monitor - conflict further? possibly. so we have to monitor the - we have to monitor the situation very closely in concert with our allies and partners. that being said, the wagner forces were most effective component of the russian military forces in ukraine so that they are somehow disengaging from that conflict weakens the overall effectiveness of the russian military and then secondly, vladimir putin is more focused on his own internal position. he is trying to stabilise that. in some ways what has happened over the weekend distracts him from over —— other matters and this will provide an opening for ukrainian forces to impress any advantages they may have on the battlefie

morning of russia you watch all on the channel, russia hello a new package of assistance to ukraine from the eu 50 billion euros france italy has delivered and already deployed in ukraine the mamba air defense system, macron said this in russia today, an admission company is starting universities have prepared 626,000 budget places, a special status for applicants participants its and specialty the most sought after rescue operation in the atlantic oxygen stayed for 60 hours on board, the british billionaires and the owner of a company that spends underwater days. 10 successful at once strikes on the positions of ukrainian militants were inflicted by russian aviation in the kupinsky direction of a special operation of su-25 attack aircraft, as well as attack helicopters and groups. the west was struck by the points of temporary deployment of the accumulation of manpower and military equipment of our units, and tankers are always ready. on the red liman sector of the front, the tank crews of the central military district destroyed well, the fortified stronghold of the nationalists along the tren

requirements, how to reform the european union, what procedures to change in order to admit ukraine to the euore this situation, which is ukraine's proxy to nato, no one imagined this until a year ago, true. so now to imagine what will happen in a year, it requires clairvoyant abilities today is our unofficial lawyer who defends the interests of ukraine with whom is the most difficult if you can say to communicate and convince which countries if it is also about joining of the european union and to nato or to the european union european union and who do you think is the most difficult with him with him i think you are right hungarians too ms. homini k yes yes i think there are certain differences despite everything in the case of hungary it is possible first for all certain expectations regarding the relationship between ukraine and hungary, on the other hand, if we are talking about germany, then this is already a question of a more systemic nature, it is already traditional, it stems from the traditional policy of germany, which was close to god with russia before russia's aggression agains

with this that the republic of moldova is also important and another candidate besides ukraine's accession to the eucurity of moldova is directly related to the security of ukraine and that the west will continue to support that until then, let's say , they looked at their own as different tracks. and now they already understand that russian aggression - this is about the security of the entire region, not just ukraine or moldova. i would also like to remind you that olafsholz, the chancellor of germany, got into a difficult situation when speaking to voters in one of the german cities they ended up there about a hundred so-called pacifists who started chanting that they say it is necessary to stop distributing arms to ukraine and incite, uh, incite a war, to which something is extremely emotional for them to be very characteristic and reacted in two words: he called putin himself the instigator of the war, called him a murderer, in fact, who kills the civilian population so he said that if you were old enough, you would understand who i am, the real instigator of the war , well, in a word, well, at

he wants ukraine folded into the eu and part of nato.ou like, sentiments which are, if you like, sentiments which are echoed by the moldovan leadership. it is no accident this summit is happening here. of all of ukraine's neighbours who were unnerved by putin's invasion, it is moldova which had the greatest reason to feel fear. it is a former soviet state, it is small, wedged between the eu and russia and has a breakaway region, which is controlled by pro—russian separatists. there are russian troops on the ground, a hangover from the way the way the soviet union fell apart and the way it did so in this part of the world. the leadership of moldova is plain, it leans heavily towards the west, it wants to join the eu. and they are very adamant on that point. on the eve of this summit, the moldovan president said she once eu negotiations to begin by the end of this year. both moldova and ukraine have been given status, as has georgia, but most eu leaders are not at the stage at which they think it is right to begin admitting these countries

borders of europe are too significant it is necessary to start leading ukraine towards nato membership in order to preserve the unity of the eu, which was demonstrated after the start of the conflict in ukraine, it is necessary to reconsider the contours of the european union so that it includes ukraine the balkan countries and the states of eastern europe for the united states of europe and their allies there is no alternative to ukraine since the victory of russia has become would be a fatal blow to the eu , another former nato secretary general and also on tour anders-rasmussen, having traveled around europe and visiting washington on the eve of the july summit, vilnius made a prophecy troops. nato will sooner or later end up in ukraine if kiev is not provided with security guarantees , some member countries of the alliance can send their soldiers into the ukrainian trenches, since the thought for ukraine and its guarantees is going through. as for himself today, he is zelensky’s personal adviser on his list he urgently needs to exchange intelligence and training data for ukrainian soldiers increased production of ammuniti

ukraine, too, wants that kind of security guarantee. it wants to be in the eu. s to be in nato. and we heard today that despite the warm words of support from various leaders, what neither moldova nor ukraine are getting right now are those guarantees. and without those security guarantees, the ukrainian president said there can be no lasting peace. russia's foreign minister, sergei lavrov, is in south africa ahead of a summit of major economies — the so—called brics group — in august. south africa is coming under increasing pressure whether president putin will be allowed to attend that meeting after the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for him over war crimes in ukraine. the name brics comes from the initials of the five key member states — brazil, russia, india, china and south africa. due to the presence of china and india in particular, they represent 43% of the world's population, with more than three and a quarter billion people living in those five countries. together they now account for a slightly larger share of the world's economy

possibility of unscheduled inspections by the eu members, the essence of which is that this plan is actually a strategy for the further so-called development of ukraine initiative is nothing more than a direct attempt to finally lead the external administration of this country, an additional situation, the cynical policy of brussels towards the kiev authorities is the inclusion in the liver of the conditions for receiving eu financial assistance, the so-called requirements for compliance with the fundamental rights and freedoms of all citizens. this is ursula fonder phizer sorry, ursula fonder really came up with this, that the kiev regime should. to strive for the fulfillment of the helping rights and freedoms of all citizens. who invented this? could come up with this, only someone who has no idea at all that takes place on the territory of ukraine what rights and freedoms? which citizens, by the way, are cannon fodder. yes dictate, yes terrorism. yes , what rights and freedoms, who have not only that, but also enemies and pay attention to the fact that now think that an important aspect of their interaction. in this direction with the kiev regime

mark: we continue to watch full on the situation in ukraine. next, eu lawmakers push the bloc to move closer to passing one of the world's laws regulating artificial intelligence systems like chatgpt. while the european union first proposed such and lot in 2021, it took on greater urgency when chatgpt exploded onto the scene last year. the eu said it's a law, once passed, will set a global standard, but the bloc could face pushback from big tech companies. is this europe's big stand against ai? >> i mean, it is looking that way. this was a major hurdle for the eu's ai act, and the legislation is set to become the first piece of legislation dedicated to artificial intelligence in the world, and that is important because it will set the standard for everything else. that is why they are rushing this through at the moment. as you mentioned, this proposal from the european commission behind me first came out in 2021, and the area is moving so fast that a lot has changed. the european parliament voted to change the proposal that the commission had originally

he stated very clearly that he wants ukraine to be a member of the eu and nato. sentiments that certainlyil in moldova, it is no coincidence that this summit is taking place in this country, of all the neighbors of ukraine, which were caught off guard by the full-scale invasion of vladimir putin, perhaps moldova has the most reasons for fear in this small former soviet state there is a self-proclaimed region of transnistria, which is controlled by pro-russian separatists and where russian troops are actually stationed . the president of moldova once again stated that he wants negotiations on joining the eu to begin by the end of this year and moldova and ukraine to receive the status of candidate countries for accession to the eu , as well as georgia, but most of the eu leaders are not yet at the stage to consider it necessary to start accepting these countries, especially a country like moldova in whose territory they operate russian troops or a country like ukraine so that in a state of war and on children's protection day we will talk about russia's crimes during the war. i will remind

the kremlin saying that not only are we continuing to support ukraine, but we are also supporting moldova. what do they want? to be in the eud we had the mobility president saying that accession talks can begin this year. they already have candidate status. ukraine wants that kind of security guarantee as well. it wants to be in the you and wants to be in nato. and we heard today that despite the warm words of support from various leaders what neither moldova nor ukraine are giving right now i was scared to use without the security guarantees that the ukrainian president said there can be no lasting peace. >> russian foreign minister is in south africa ahead of a summit of major economies, -- in august. south africa is coming under increasing pressure for the to decide president putin will be allowed to attend that meeting to the international credit -- criminal court issued a warrant for arrests -- his rest over war crimes. five key member states, brazil, russia, india and china and south africa. due to the presence of china and india they represent 43% of the world population with more than 3.20 5 billion people. they now

ukraine, too, wants that kind of security guarantee. it wants to be in the eu. nts to be in nato. and we heard today that despite the warm words of support from various leaders, what neither moldova nor ukraine are getting right now are those guarantees. and without those security guarantees, the ukrainian president said there can be no lasting peace. let's get more now on the situation on the ground in ukraine — where at least three people have been killed after another night of air strikes on ukraine's capital kyiv. officials say a child was among the victims, and more than a dozen other people were injured. meanwhile, the russian region of belgorod has again come under attack from across the ukrainian border, with at least eight people reportedly hurt in the shelling. the bbc�*s james waterhouse has this analysis. what moscow is trying to do, it seems, is exhaust ukrainian air defences, which have been extremely effective. but what is more significant is that we are now seeing similar scenes across the border, inside russia. a rare mirror image in the belgorod

ukraine. first of all, we would like to see. how much money has the euocated to ukraine so far from various sources and where did they go, but former us president donald trump even offers me to send money to ukraine and to establish peace , trump believes that the united states should seat representatives from moscow and kiev at the negotiating table. true, the republican noted there is no sensible mediator among americans for such an important matter yet, but on voronin together. during the riots in france , according to the latest data, more than 400 people have already been detained, robberies and arson have engulfed many cities in the country, these are the personnel. and where the pogroms began, the police special forces arrived the day before, they tried to capture the local prefecture on one of the main streets. paris demonstrators rob stores, shave, completely attack a police station in a city in northern france , protesters set fire to the city hall, riot and engulfed toulouse million marseille strasbourg lily in northern paris , set fire to 13

brussels today are the security guarantees of both europe in general and ukraine in particular, what security guarantees can the eu provide to ukraine, because we know that this association is not military, well, today the president of the european council, one of the governing bodies of the european union, clarified. he said that it is about the role of the european union or the contribution of the european union as an organization to those security guarantees, or security assurances , or even security assistance that will be provided, which will presumably be guaranteed by others countries, in particular, we know about negotiations regarding the possibility of security guarantees that could be provided, for example, by the united states , great britain, germany, and france, or is something else possible outside of nato, but now the biggest problem is probably the fact that in order to guarantee security, it must first be obtained for ukraine. as for the role of the european security council, it is not a military organization, but it is already performing a security role, in fact, a military one . a special fund

ukraine to return. they are a great asset for the eu. but of course we are working to ensure that they first of all have the opportunity to return, to give people housing and work, usually they invest in financial technical assistance of ukraine and the governments of other countries, and the help is related to reconstruction . they are convinced that, in addition to the cessation of shelling, the accession of ukraine to the eu, the signal of accession to nato or other security guarantees will encourage them to return, as well as the fastest possible reconstruction, who will participate in it must have a decent salary and reconstruction, the unemployed need a program of labor migration from the broken regions to the west , this can be a shift method. we can't put up barriers. salaries well, according to the surveys of the center for economic strategies , ukrainians began to understand that the war is ending quickly, and on the one hand, the longer the war lasts, the more ukrainians take root abroad, those who do not plan to settle there d

but from your experience, as far as it goes, ukraine will wake up instantly. the eu or what should we expect to say. how long will this process last? i can assure you of one thing that i stand by ukraine all the time . i was the initiator of the letter of the presidents, which immediately after the russian aggression against ukraine was addressed to the president of the european commission to grant ukraine the status of a candidate. at that time, many politicians eu, but there were big doubts, there were even many who tried to discourage me from doing so and said that it made sense. i thought that this pressure made sense, of course, because ukraine received the status of a candidate. after several months have been express, i can say one thing here ukraine can always count on me because i firmly believe in the ability of ukrainian society to adapt everything to the european union if you have the most positive sense of how to best use the membership of ugu i have no doubts you still despite the costs which will have to be incurred because, of course , huge costs will

check your credit potential in sberbank online further allocation of funds in ukraine the eu will notktor orban said that brussels should not give all the money to the kiev authorities until they tell where the billions allocated earlier in more discussions have gone. at the eu summit we will find out from our european correspondent. regina sevastyan of the european union agreed to give ukraine security guarantees. it was the initiative of several. uh, the countries of the alliance led by france, however, the fifth republic did not introduce them to journalists. at this summit, emmanuel macron was forced to leave the meeting in brussels much earlier than the others due to the situation. him at home, the country has agreed in this way to continue financial support for ukraine in the branch of the funds of the european peace fund for the transfer of weapons. in addition, the training program for soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine and the european union will be extended to explore the possibility of sending military missions to the territory of ukraine if and when it is possible, un

eu. the minister gave a broad answer about nato and his vision of ukraine in nato, in particular. he said that there is a certain consolidated position in eastern europe, it is more difficult to work with western countries, in particular your works with germany as well as with hungary, but about the summit in vilnius, which will be held in july, he said that before this , he had to get a certain path, certain steps for what needs to be done in order for ukraine to join nato immediately after our victories well, in conclusion, the minister also expressed his confidence that a just peace is for ukraine, a just victory is when , of course, we reach our borders in 1991 and when russia will answer for all these actions that it committed in ukraine in the studio. thank you to khrystyna and my colleague khrystyna parubiy from poland joined our broadcast and told us what the ministry of foreign affairs of poland thinks about ukraine's accession to the eu, and then we move on from the territory of the belarusians for the first time came under fire polish border guards report there changes

president and we are doing everything possible to support ukrainians in getting closer to the eu, also supporting ukrainehe main priority of our vote in the eu , besides that, of course, it is very important for us it is important that ukraine also has the perspective of membership in nato, we support the 10th article of the washington treaty on open doors and i think that this issue will also be raised at the nato summit in vilnius on july 11 and 12 this year, at the beginning of the war, the ukrainians were poorly armed but now we are in a situation where ukraine is starting a counteroffensive russia controls less than 20% of the country he thinks there are three factors one of them is of course the most important how ukrainian forces fight they are extremely inspiring he believes that this is actually a decisive factor for success the second factor is the stability of the ukrainian population the third factor and also very important is the unity of the eu and nato have never cooperated so closely as during the war in ukraine, everything naturally led to the ability to provide military aid and support

how the european union should be reformed, what procedures should be changed in order to admit ukraine to the eut there is, i will repeat once again , the situation before this situation, which is after ukraine's accession to nato, no one could have imagined this a year ago, true. so, now imagine what will happen in a year, today is our unofficial lawyer who defends the interests of ukraine, with whom is the most difficult if you can say to communicate and convince which countries if it is about joining the european union and to nato or to the european union and european society and who do you think is the most difficult with him with him ? certain expectations regarding the relationship between ukraine and ukraine, on the other hand, if we are talking about germany , then this is already a question of a more systemic nature, it is already traditional, it stems from the traditional policy of germany, which was very close to russia before russia's aggression against ukraine. well, and it is also certain that germany cares about the shape of the european union as a whole, when such a powerful play
