never return , they will not actually bear any responsibility for this, well, except for their image and everything else, because at the moment , we actually do not have articles of the criminal code that would regulate this there is no the ministry of culture today refused to comment to the public. earlier, in a post on facebook, rostyslav karandeev, deputy minister of culture, expressed his position... regarding the situation with oleksiy pechiy, where he emphasized that this case is isolated and should not cast a shadow on other employees of zmi, and nine months ago on the air of ictv, galina grigorenko confirmed that there is no permanent system for returning fugitives. the monitoring system as such does not exist, yes, that is, there is a letter of assistance regarding crossing the border, and the basis for this letter is the obligation on the part of the applicant to return within the specified time. we are currently working on implementing just that somehow. into the system. oleksiy pechii is not the first to receive permission on departure, a special letter from the ministry of culture did not

be regulated in the manner provided by the constitution and laws of ukraine. this should be done by amending the presidential decree on the introduction of martial law from 24 july, establishing restrictions for the relevant categories of citizens to leave and providing for the possibility for the cabinet of ministers to introduce exceptions. yulia korshenko, dmytro panov, society, news. the public appealed. for a comment to oleksiy pechuy, but we never received an answer from him. the first six ukrainian pilots passed basic training for f-16 webs in the united kingdom. this is stated on the website of the british government. the program included training in english and flying skills. pilots are now learning to fly fighter jets in denmark. another 10 of our pilots remained in the united kingdom for basic flight training. according to official information from the danish ministry of defense , the f-16 coalition includes the united
