of this week. with the 12th sanctions package, we offer a robust set of new lists and economic measures that will further weaken the russian war machine. our message is clear, we remain steadfast in our commitment to ukraine and will continue to support its struggle for freedom and sovereignty. the next restrictions are directed against the profitable industries of russia economy, and also provide for the strengthening of previously introduced sanctions. under the ban... saw russian diamonds, it refers to the import, purchase and transfer of diamonds originating in russia, exported from this country, or transiting through it. the export of chemicals, lithium batteries, thermostats, engines for uavs, as well as transit through the territory of the aggressor country, military goods are prohibited. exporters from the eu must now ensure that third countries do not re-export to russia secret goods and technologies. the union is strengthening

the requirements for compliance with the oil price limit, as well as the identification of vessels transporting this raw material will be tougher. for example, eu companies that sell tankers to third parties must report this. the point on which there was the longest delay in the adoption of the next restrictions is the ban on russian diamonds. against it was belgium, which is one of the world's largest processing centers for the precious stones of siberia. brussels changed its position only in may. from january 1, a ban on... inactivity on the territory of the eu and in all countries of the big seven. the blow falls on the russian company alrosa, which covers 30% of all diamond production in the world. all its profits one way or another go to the russian budget, - explains georgiy popov, analyst of the national association of extractive industry of ukraine. last year, alrosa's revenue was almost 2 billion dollars. a tracking procedure should prevent russian diamonds from entering the markets of western countries. origin of

precious stones. it was the diamond industry that became a pioneer in leading processing the origin of diamonds, because the diamond itself is very convenient. bitcoin became a means of calculation, well, in fact, a universal currency, just as gold was there , so relatively speaking, you can buy and sell a tank for a mountain of amanazi, that is why the european commission, and first of all the us department of finance and the department of foreign assets, developed a universal characteristic, which is extended to other useful domes for tracing origin, in addition to new economic... restrictions, the eu expanded the blacklist of persons and companies involved in the russian war in ukraine. 140 items were added to the list. russian and belarusian military chiefs, collaborators, representatives of organizations that militarize ukrainian children in the temporarily

have not yet been disclosed. iryna ivanova, oleh nevadomskyi, details. the european bureau of the tv channel inter, marathon, edyni novini. what kind of russia are they showing? to the audience of foreign media, investigators of the bbc world service presented a new documentary with the eloquent title: they call us meat. in it, journalists talk about the russian elite 155 brigade, which attacked the ukrainian ughledar and how the city it turned into a death trap for hundreds of occupants. our international columnist svitlana chernetska. also rewatched this tape, what emotions it evoked in her and what was the intention of the authors, more on that later. this documentary was made by investigators of the world's largest broadcaster. the bbc world service reaches around 300 million people a week in

different parts of the world. the topic of the russian invasion has already been raised here several times, in particular in documents about the russian prisons of katyvna and the horrors of life under occupation. this once focused on the participation in the war of one of the strongest divisions of the russian fleet, this is the 155th brigade of marines, the so-called black berets. it is called an elite brigade, that is, it is trained and well-trained soldiers. the film mentions that the ukrainian authorities accuse 155 soldiers of war crimes in buta, irpin and gostomel. at first , professional soldiers were sent, but by september many... of them had died, new blood was needed to replenish the ranks. the documentary shows the fate of a 25-year-old rapper who was drafted into the army and sent under coal farmer he died in november last year, after the marines issued an official statement about the loss of 300 soldiers and

half of the equipment due to failed assaults. the third video shows another lone russian tank speeding down the same road again. rocket. almost hits the tank, but it keeps going and runs past the remains of the other two tanks we saw earlier. then the tank is hit, it hits the trees. the russians have been stubbornly storming ugledar since the start of the full-scale invasion. unlike bakhmut or avdiivka, it is of strategic importance for the capture of all of donbas. but it was in october-november last year that the russian command threw its soldiers to death. without an operation to...clear minefields without reconnaissance operations, without sufficient reconnaissance and support of thermal imaging and electro-optical instruments, this kind of penetration operation is simply suicide. bbc investigators reviewed hundreds of videos and messages on social networks, analyzed records of deaths and came to

the conclusion that the battle for coal has become the most bloodiest for a single russian unit during the entire war. when we made the graphics. the first is the result of the attack on kyiv at the beginning of the conflict, the largest in november 22. the film shows the story of maryna, a resident of the coalfield, in her house the occupiers made a stronghold, and on the video a soldier is looking at a woman's photo album. the authors emphasize that marina is a russian-speaking ukrainian, such as she came to liberate the russian world. here's how the woman explained it to hundreds of millions of viewers of the bbc's worldwide service.

in the film, it is noted that they do not know the real ones scale of casualties of the 155th brigade, they were able to accurately confirm the deaths of 234 fighters, but say that the actual number could be two or three times higher. despite this, the marines continue to storm the ugladar and suffer heavy losses there. in january, the black berets themselves declared, svitlana chernetska, yuriy romanyuk, the details of the british bureau of the tv channel inter, marathon, and united news. ukrainian scouts were armed with mobile reactive systems of the vm5 seeder. in the main intelligence office, they said that they received from volunteers two such reactive systems. weapons were placed. on four-wheel drive pickups, created combat calculations of planters are capable of

inflicting fire damage on the enemy in mobile mode - said gur. as you know, back in the 22nd year, ukrainian specialists created the sivalka mobile rocket salvo system for rockets. the batch of drones for ukrainian defenders was delivered to the front by the police from ivano-frankivsk region. drones worth over a million uah, the carpathian law enforcement officers purchased for trade union funds. giving money for equipment is a joint decision of the police officers of the entire region. previously, every year on the eve of the christmas holidays, the pro-union organization used these funds to purchase new year's gifts for the families of law enforcement officers. this year, the families of the carpathian cops gave up sweets, and the saved money was used for purchases. warbirds all drones were handed over to one of the units, which is currently performing

combat missions in the east of ukraine. the law enforcement officers hope that their equipment will strengthen the ukrainian position in the sky and improve the situation one thousand explosive gifts to the occupiers in the trenches. the implementation of this idea showed the unity of the team, i want to say, even those who were not in the service were on vacation, they came and asked too... they are participants in this implementation of this idea, so that the type of team is one hundred percent a team, there was no person, there was no employee, there was no child , who would not support this idea, drones are actually today bombers, such drones, and they are capable, so they work in night mode in order to during the day, they were not so noticeable, and such drones can be trained by position. it is very effective to destroy the enemy, mostly equipment, they

are used less against live human power, but they are very effective against heavy armor and medium armor. ukraine received the first batch of ambulance evacuation vehicles from the united arab emirates. 23 cars are equipped with all the necessary equipment, oxygen cylinders, cardiac monitors, defibrillators and artificial devices. lung ventilation, as reported by moz of ukraine, the received cars are converted from civilian toyota off-road vehicles, thanks to the four-liter engine and all-wheel drive , the car can overcome difficult off-road conditions. in total , ukraine should receive from the united arab emirates 50 such vehicles, in the form of evacuation vehicles. and then we will talk about the rehabilitation of our soldiers. he evacuated two fellow priests. donnyk was wounded under shelling, he was blown up by a mine and

20 meters of mined road, there was such a descent, maybe at an angle of about 60°. and there we saw borysovych with a severed leg. andrei was carried on a stretcher for two hours, it was difficult, but the wounded man was taken to the evacuation point. i shouted at your leg, because it was already hanging there like that, and sashko said: i will not let you tear off my leg and put it back there. in a month, during an attempt to pay off the positions, sashko and his comrades came under enemy fire. the border guard received a serious wound, as a result of which he lost his leg. sanka and i got out bear, bear. don't move like that, in the first five minutes of the battle, a rocket, an rpg, a fragmentation projectile arrives, and a fragment flies into my leg, the projectile flies into a tree, the tree falls on top of us in position. sashko was admitted to the capital hospital, where andriy rodin, who was also saved by him, was being treated. they served in the same

, the investigators found a goldfinch kryptogamytsy, which stored 1.5 million dollars worth of crypto-currencies in the phone. with us in the studio, gennady dubov, candidate of legal sciences, i already congratulate. we welcome you. let's expand a little on today's topic. let's talk generally about the fight against corruption. we are summing up the last few broadcasts. year that is passing, and in this area we understand that certain processes were also taking place and ukraine responded to the calls of its partners to fight against corruption, we have seen loud, yes we have seen loud processes, some processes and in general, the fortunes that were arrested there or on what bribes some of the figures were caught in general, i think it will be difficult to forget, and they shocked so much, so yes, let's first give a general assessment, we understand, that... towards the ideal, we are probably only on our way, however , how real is this dynamic, does it personally impress you in general, is it not enough in your opinion, well, again here is the question of criteria

, evaluation criteria, the evaluation criteria are very different, and if we we are talking about infamous or famous international ratings, transparency international makes a rating, a rating of perception of corruption, and here we are talking more about a not-so-right-wing politician. legal or social phenomenon, here we are talking about social psychology, methodology of the like a kind of rating, it consists in the fact that they interview experts within the country and , accordingly, possibly foreign ones, who are in a certain way tangential to the situation, and interview businessmen, there are scientists, civil society, but one way or another , north korea even appears in that rating, so where they interview businessmen there, how do they find them, this is a question that always bothers me, that is, i most likely ask someone from... south korea, and north korea is somewhere in 170th place, despite the fact that in a totalitarian state, corruption in in the sense in which we imagine it, it is almost impossible, so we can... judge

by what, by the successes, in particular, of our newly created anti-corruption bodies. here, in fact, this particular year, he showed a lot, a lot, because such a number of ministers, or rather, deputy ministers to date, heads of central executive bodies, the head of the supreme court, people's deputies and so on, this has definitely never happened before. even i think that if you collect all the years, there will not be such a representation of the top corrupt officials and high-ranking officials who are currently under investigation, and what is most important for me is that, plus or minus , there are no special warnings about these proceedings, at least at today's stage, when suspicions are being raised, obviously the cases are being communicated and, of course, there are that at least there are reasons to believe that a corruption crime may have been committed, that is, to call it there, for example, political, you cannot call it political persecution, well, in fact, you know, usually this argument is usually used if someone is being exposed for corruption there, and

there this person can traditionally say yes... here i will emphasize the second point, purely because i also communicate, i have the status of a lawyer, i have a suitable circle of communication, from time to time i even have to consult different people, let's put it this way, and at the same time, in no conversation today, i'm really honest, i've never heard of a stereotype immediately starting to work, that somehow it's possible to solve the issue accordingly , no one even looks for such options, because it will be more expensive in the sense that it is the right experience. when, accordingly , those who offered large bribes to our anti-corruption vertical were exposed, and we remember that this year there was also a verdict, or rather an agreement, which approved, approved the court verdict, regarding the bribe in favor of the specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office and nabu in the amount of 6 million dollars , right there, the sbushniks were brought to the press conference in large balls, our whole country saw how it looks, and even in this professional environment there are not even conversations, but i heard only one case when and

that... there is so with certain conditions, someone is like, there for money they leaked information from those bodies about the progress of the proceedings, but it is not about closing the proceedings, it is not about releasing from responsibility, that is the plan of things, that is really in the discourse, even professional do not appear, and this is an absolutely excellent indicator in the sense that a sense of inevitability and responsibility for relevant offenses is gradually formed, regardless of who you are, a judge, a high-ranking official of an executive authority or a police officer, that is in fact, well, if a very, very big... a big moment, it has not yet been extrapolated the perception of the whole society , but this is actually a really important step and the anti-corruption vertical today looks like, well, something really effective that can perform its tasks. there is another side of the coin, for example, the higher anti-corruption court is also newly created and so on. among colleagues, i have also repeatedly heard certain, let’s say, complaints that individual judges of the higher anti-corruption court, well, they really like naba and the specialized

anti-corruption prosecutor's office. what is not brought to them, they satisfy everything, there are separate judges, well, in principle, there is no refusal of the pre-trial investigation body, which is also not quite okay, because it relaxes, including, accordingly , the employees of the pre-trial investigation bodies, when the real thing happens there competition, when there is a legal basis, we prosecute, there are no legal grounds, we do not prosecute, it forms, well, you know, how in competition in this defense and the corresponding prosecution, quality is born, here is certain precautions, because many judges. unfortunately, we have a democratic state, but according to the soviet tradition, many people in our country love the state very much and believe that whatever the state in the form of law enforcement officers does not bring, we must stamp everything and move on, this is wrong, it is against the tradition of european, american, that's why we actually have quite a few acquittals, although the anti-corruption court gives a figure somewhere under 12% of acquittals, which society perceives as treason to the parishala, in fact, this is a normal process, it happens that there are even crime, did not prove this justification, that is why we

are here in this process. and the process obviously has certain positive aspects in this part, i am absolutely sincere, frankly, if i would state with joy. ugh. gentlemen, let's make our conversation as complete as possible. at the expense of two more speakers, two more guests: ihor chelenko, head of the analysis and strategy center. congratulations, mr. igor. oleksiy boryachenko, candidate of political sciences, head of the international association of small communities, mr. oleksiy, welcome. greetings, friends. grateful, that you have joined us. and let's, if for a start. we are already making an assessment, giving an assessment of how ukraine fought corruption and continues to do so, because the year is not over yet, in fact, we can hear many more interesting, loud statements and revelations, after all, if you were to personally make this rating of the fight with corruption, ukrainian rating, on a ten-point scale, what would you rate, mr. oleksiy, let's start with you.
