Oleksandr Vasiuk<\/strong>, Member of Parliament of Ukraine, gave an interview<\/a> to the well-known German newspaper Tagesspiegel<\/strong>. He spoke about the progress of justice reforms<\/strong>, Ukraine’s accession to the EU<\/strong> and NATO<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

“The EU has given us a list of seven key recommendations. They must be fulfilled in order to start accession negotiations. 2 of the 7 recommendations are in the field of justice, which are closely related to my work in the Legal Policy Committee. I hope that the EU membership negotiations will start this year,”\u00a0<\/em>told Oleksandr Vasiuk<\/strong> for Tagesspiegel. <\/span><\/p>\n

He also noted that the process of selecting judges in Ukraine should be transparent. This is one of the important aspects of the justice reform<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

“We have set up an independent commission of experts to oversee the appointment of judges. This process should not be political. <\/span>We are now working to ensure that this reform also touches the lowest level of courts. All these are proposals of the Venice Commission, which advises us on these issues.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In the interview, Oleksandr Vasiuk<\/strong> also said that the assistance of partner countries<\/strong> in the fight against Russian aggression is extremely important for Ukraine. <\/span><\/p>\n

“The World Bank estimates the total damage caused by russia’s invasion of Ukraine at more than 380 billion euros. We appreciate the military assistance of the West. The Patriot, IRIS-T, and Gepard self-propelled air defence systems that Germany has provided to Ukraine are saving lives every day,”<\/em> said Oleksandr Vasiuk.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

He added that the US support<\/strong> remains unchanged. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We have bicameral and bipartisan support. We equally appreciate the support of Republicans and Democrats. The United States is our strategic partner and they help us a lot. Americans are interested in a strong and stable Ukraine. This is not only our fight, but also the fight for democracy and the free world. We share the same values,”\u00a0<\/em>told Oleksandr Vasiuk\u00a0<\/strong>for Tagesspiegel.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
