It was hard path for Croatia too, especially because of recovering from yugo wars but we entered it in 2013 :) I believe a strong and heroic country like Ukraine can do it too, much support for you guys, everything will end up right in the end 🇭🇷❤️🇺🇦
Very interesting for me as a Dane being married to a Russian woman (and we of course hates Putin and the war, and are aware that Russians in the future, as a people needs to take the same responsibility as the Germans had to to be forgiven at some point and here I think the Germans has done an exellent job but when it comes to Russia, there are are lot of things that tells that this will take many years) for almost 24 years and my wife has never lived inside Russia during Putins regime as she moved here in 1996, and that is that too me it seems like in percentage that much more Ukranians knows at least one foreign language (not counting Russian despite it's foreign, but most Ukranians knows Russian) while in Russia they are few and far between. I remember being there on holiday in 2005, and even among the young people if I asked "Do you speak English"? the answer was all the time "no" or just "net". To me that teels me a lot about the people, because in countries where most people knows at least one foreign language, the people are much more open to the world, while in countries where foreign languages aren't that well known, they are much more closed minded and live in their own bubble, and that is unfortunely the state of Russia with exceptions. My wife speaks Swedish, understands Danish perfectly, understands Rusyn, Ukranian and Belarusian without any problems, and if spoken slowly also understands Bulgarian, Polish and Slovak. I speak apart from my native Danish, I speak Swedish and English fluently, and understands Norwegian as well. There are some other Germanic languages I can sort of make sense out of, but it most be spoken pretty slow and in many cases I need to see it written as well. Slava Ukraini!
I'm not opposed to this idea, but I wonder what Ukrainians think need to be done to join the EU? There is a standard - what do Ukranians think can be improved or changed so that they will be easier admitted into the EU? This is not a fundamental right, it is a positive sum coalition. I'm all for helping, but what will Ukraine do for the EU?
It was very interested when she said:"How many times you speak russian, how many times you're an human" I agree that we are a different version of ourself when we speak an other language
They mentioned so many bla bla bla reasons. No one dared to mentioned the simple fact: your government wanted to be part of NATO and that was a huge mistake, because Russia saw that as an existential threat, Russia stated that for many years, but NATO and your government ignored Russia’s concerns. And young people keep on ignoring that. I feel really sorry for Ukraine. I will never support what Russia is doing. But you only had to agree NOT to be part of NATO and you did not do that when you could.
WHY ? : amazing how little it is talked about, it is absolutely visible in plain sight and public just look at the map of gas lines - knew about it and about exploration contracts, in fact spoke to 3 of my Ukranian friends in march 2022 when they came to Estonia as refugees - they said the same... search : reuters ukraine oil 2012 what will happen to ruzzian regime when Ukraine has 10x more natural gas and oil than Norway ... and it is 2x closer to main markets than ruzzia ??? this is why 2014 it all started... all the other talk is BS / winding savages up in ruzzia / playing with their fear and insecurity
0:56 as a syrian, im shocked. this reminds me of that one ukrainian man on the arabic-speaking side of youtube who speaks arabic, and he speaks arabic fluently like a true (levantine) arab
Don't understand me wrongly but what wrong with ability to speak Russian? You can hate the country but hating the language is ridiculous. In Poland many citizens of post-soviet countries use Russian as communicative language.
I can tell that most, if not all, of these people speak russian in every day life. Which is fine, btw. I dont see how a language has anything to do with the atrocities that are going on in their country at the moment. The more tongues you know, the richer you are.
The russian language is a second language of the ukrainians (in some parts of the country is the native), just deal it. The russian language is part of the formation of ukrainian culture and language, it's historical and dissafects with the current situation doesn't change that.
Wow, so many educated people ahah I’m jealous! I studied Russian language, so thankfully I can understand ukrainian language a little bit And I know French a little bit That’s it
Русские не свободны высказывать свое мнение и выражать свое мнение... Украинцы свободны и хотят, чтобы так и оставалось... свободны выражать свое мнение. И именно поэтому они борются за свободу выбора своего президента без фальшивых выборов и референдума.
Ну выразил ты свое мнение? Тебя кто-то услышал? )) Это конечно очень смешно что вы пишите. Потому что президент украинцев не собирается проводить выборы в следующем году, а решил самовольно остаться. Ну с кем так за свободу слова-то бороться теперь? лмао
@@Animatronica-AI Как он собирается проводить выборы, когда украинский народ бомбят русские... типа 80% населения находится в другой стране как беженцы, почему вы решили их убивать? И кто будет защищать Украину, если Зеленский сейчас уйдет. Вы должны остановить войну, чтобы у них, украинского народа, были новые выборы. Зеленский не был у власти 25 лет.
А я вопрос поставлю иначе, что может дать Украина европейскому союзу? И какой смысл ЕС вкладывать в Украину деньги с этим ужасающим уровнем коррупции, когда они могут вложить их в Польшу
I have a feeling Ukraine is a bit like Poland, highly conservative and relatively right-winged compared to Western Europe. In its current form, I expect most European countries will be AGAINST Ukrainian membership.
This is new rule, to write rf, russia, russian, putin, even rb without capital letters. This is an unofficial rule, but still a rule, and people follow this rule.
0:40 Ok... I do speak Japanese but I don't. In Europe, it is increasingly difficult to lie about your knowledge of foreign languages. You are likely to come across someone who knows perfectly one of the languages you claim to speak. If you're the mythomaniac type, at least try to choose a language that few people know. Or, even better, be modest and honest, say you know a few words and grammar rules because you took a Japanese module at university for example.
For Ukrainians it seems like joining the EU is a matter of identity, first and foremost, as in finally escaping the orbit of Russian imperialism--which is very understandable of course--but also different from the way the discussion has gone in many other countries that have since joined the union. It is actually refreshing to hear so *few* real economic arguments for joining. I think Ukraine is going to receive a lot of economic aid from the EU to rebuild the country once the war is over, but it's nice that they don't even seem to think about that, they mostly just want to be with like-minded people.
@@xenialove2032 да, они немцы, но из СССР. Я сам в Германий родился и зовут меня Axel. Говорю по русски но с акцентом. Хотя моих предков тоже русские угнетали за национальное происхождение, мы нормально к русскому языку относимся.
@@homovitruvianus5894 Очень приятно, Axel вы пишите очень грамотно. Я учила немецкий лет 8, но мой уровень разговорный. В Кёльне приветливые люди, мне понравилось.
