From the state border of ukraine outside the Population Centers in the zone of responsibility of the siversk operationaltactical group. The order also prohibits the carrying out of work unrelated to the performance of tasks during the preparation and conduct of hostilities and the protection of the state border, and approves the appropriate procedure for approval of work on Agricultural Land within a fivekilometer zone outside the boundaries of the settlements in the zone of responsibility of siversk. Thats the news. We will talk more about border affairs, including our western border and the border with poland, with our correspondent nataliya stare pravo, she should be in touch with us by now, we know that natalya is now at the medic checkpoint and is actually ready to us to share the situation, as polish farmers have unblocked all checkpoints and it is interesting to understand what the situation is now. Natalya, congratulations and please share with us what is happening now. Congratulations marta, congratulations antina, i congratulate our viewers, so we visited the polish side, on the side of the medica checkpoint, it became known that the checkpoint was unblocked already this saturday morning, and there is tangible progress, we talked with ukrainian drivers and said that in fact this unblocking is already here tangible, because if earlier, just a few days ago, they could stand in a queue that reached 70, more than 70 km, now this queue has shortened to four km, and they say that it is a normal situation to stand, for example, now for a whole day border, because this was the situation even before the border blockade, however, it also happens in different ways, someone, for example, crosses the border, well, for example, a truck can go 2 km in 6. Somewhere it can be faster, it all depends on time, from the way the poles themselves pass, for example, after the first hour, according to my observations, for half an hour, the queue was reduced by two or three trucks, in fact, this is a great progress, and the carriers themselves also said that the checkpoint of the doctor shaginy during the blockade was one of the most difficult checkpoints, so ukrainian drivers also tried. To choose a different route, to drive through other checkpoints, and if they were returning from poland to ukraine, they chose, for example, the border with slovakia or hungary, and i will also add that officially all checkpoints were completely unblocked on april 29, ukrainian trucks with our grain can pass through the territory of poland only if they are transporting goods in transit to other countries. Ugh, thank you, well, thank you for the comprehensive information, nataliya stareprava, espress correspondent from the border with poland, this is how espresso was working live now, an extremely important signal, well, an interesting signal came this time from british intelligence, there they learned about the interrogation of another deputy minister of defense of russia, shoigu, so according to british intelligence. The fsb interrogated tsalikova, the first deputy minister of defense of russia, in the case of corruption in the ministry, but tsalikov is actually called the third person in the ministers hierarchy. Defense minister after defense minister shoigu and chief of the general staff valery gerasimov. Well, this is interesting news. Interesting news. We will now also talk about an equally interesting topic, in fact, we will talk about our perspective of being in the European Union. And for this, we invited to our conversation ivana klympushtsy, peoples deputy of ukraine eu. Chairman of the committee on ukraines integration into the European Union. Union, because there are certain positive signals that negotiations on joining the eu can begin as early as june, president zelenskyy stated, and czech Prime Minister peter fiala also stated that the eu needs in the coming years to accept ukraine and the balkans, as this will bring additional opportunities to the European Union, that was the information, well lets talk about it now with mrs. Ivanna, welcome to our airwaves, good day, glory to the heroes. Mrs. Ivano, well, we would like to ask you right away about the negotiations regarding ukraines accession to the European Union, which will take place now, what about the socalled, what about the framework, in general, what are the undercurrents that people dont like to talk about publicly now and in general, the prospects of accepting ukraine into the European Union under time of war ah, were really waiting now, we re waiting now. That the European Union, after the conclusion, we hope, of the elections to the european parliament, still use the end of june to adopt a negotiating framework for negotiations on membership between ukraine and the European Union, and i know that the current presidency in the European Union, the belgian presidency is very actively working on this, and leads. Dialogue with the Member States of the European Union, i very much hope that we will be able to do it before 1 july of this year, why until july 1 of this year, because we hear from our, from our colleagues from hungary, that this will not be a priority for them, that this country will preside over the next six months, and unfortunately, uh, they , you and i understand that the prospects. About promotion and about such a decision during their chairmanship simply will not happen, so there is hope for this, there is a calculation for this, there is a recommendation of the european commission, there is their analysis, our implementation of all the additional four subpoints, lets say, of those seven conditions that we had to fulfill on precandidacy, and i hope that this is enough for this. To be approved, which means that we are moving on to a rich, bureaucratic and, well, meaningful negotiation process with the member countries of the European Union with the institutions, and i want to emphasize that it is not only negotiations with the institutions, we will have to interact very actively with every country that is a member of the European Union in order for us to succeed. Are there any prospects during the war . You know, well, first of all, i would like to to remind that, er, the middle path, the middle path from application to membership in the European Union took seven years for those countries that went through this path, and i would not like us to leave in that period of time, but i very much hope, that our war will not continue, ah, still, well, such. Such a terrible period of time, this is the first thing, well, and secondly, we must understand with you that obviously the war imposes significant restrictions on those opportunities and and understanding what state ukraine will be in after its completion in order to understand what exactly we are talking about to agree with our partners whether we should count on certain transition periods, how many years we should count on those transition periods, which. Additional financial, for example, tools we should work out with our partners in view of what we have gone through war and many, many other things, so i would still concentrate now on the huge work that needs to be done, regardless of the fact that this brutal war of the Russian Federation against us continues today, mr. Ivan, we completely agree with you, well but a lot of things wil
