roman shukhevych museum in the lviv region continues. the mayor of lviv, andriy sadovy, said that the restoration of the headquarters of the upa apartment, which was destroyed by the russian shahedis, will take place after the victory in the war with however, not everyone agrees with this position, which is currently happening with the museum, our film crew learned. communal workers began clearing the ruins of the roman shukhevych museum in the suburbs of lviv. two weeks ago, on new year's eve, the russians attacked the building with drones of the shachet type, and only a wall and a pile of bricks remained from the headquarters of the apartment of general horunchy of the upa. christina the family lives in in the house next to the destroyed historical monument, remembers how the first explosion sounded and the museum building caught fire, the family ran out of their home into the forest, and when they returned after the alarm ended, they saw the ruins of the museum, the windows and

doors were broken in the woman's house, after the first the roof was burning so powerfully, but it was probably still subject to possible reconstruction, so if there was only one fire... and already after the second, it would already be such a large-scale destruction. at the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia, museum workers removed more than 600 exhibits. almost all that remained in the building were destroyed. after the actual arrival, appropriate works were carried out here, there were museum workers, respectively , artifacts were found, those that were, because part of the artifacts were destroyed, thank god that was successful. the niktroyal, which really was, the rotopiano royal , which was played by roman shukhevich and was owned by the family, the shukhevich family, also the bust of roman shukhevich, it is extremely important that the stairs, the stairs where roman shukhevich fought his last battle, have been preserved. the museum

is on the balance sheet of lviv oblast council, but the building itself is the property of the city council. the head of lviv, andriy sadovy , said that the museum will be rebuilt after the victory. so. the decision caused a wide discussion. at the same time, on january 4, the fifth president of ukraine , petro poroshenko, offered the director of the lviv historical museum to pay for the restoration of the historical monument, and on january 17 , he personally came to the site of the museum and handed over a check for uah 4 million. he believes that restoration work should be started as soon as possible, and not with state funds. and during the war budget money? should be spent on the defense of the country and to support the armed forces, today a private company came, they paid money, i have a question, it is from the budget, can we become benefactors, if from the budget,

we will react, if we are benefactors, we will thank them, because every benefactor is everything, and the third position is that we should unite and... without waiting, this is a shameful position, when we will do something after the war. the city council believes that the reconstruction of such an important object should be approached comprehensively. an international architectural competition will be announced in february. following stage - design, after which it will become clear how much money is needed for restoration. currently, only the cost of the building is more than uah 2 million. will they be able to restore it, or will i have to. anew, will be decided based on the results of the examination and the architectural competition. i would like to remind you that earlier the experts of the skyron company reconstructed and made a three-dimensional model of the museum of roman shukhevych, so a tour of the upa headquarters is now available online. natalya stare pravo, vitaly kulekha,

friends, for those who are currently watching us live on youtube and facebook, please like this video, follow our pages on these platforms, and take our survey today. we ask you about whether the president is responsible for the corruption of the ministry of defense, yes, no, if you are sitting in front of the tv and have a phone at hand, you can call 0800 211 381, yes, he is responsible, no, 0.800 211 382, ​​all calls to these numbers are free, call at the end of the program, we will sum up the results of this vote, we have the first guest on the phone, tetyana nikolayenko: member of the public anti-corruption council under the ministry of defense of ukraine, journalist censor. mrs. tatiana, i

congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. well, in blitz format, i will also ask you about whether the president is responsible for the corruption of the ministry of defense, since you definitely know a lot more about corruption, maybe even the president. well, to be honest, it would be so very much the answer is simple. in fact, even the minister of defense is often absent. is responsible for corruption in this ministry, because it is at such low levels where it is very difficult to catch it, but it is thanks to such corruption that we then have stories about the enrichment of tatiana glynyana, because if we talk, for example, about food for the military, then it is precisely there, if all the schemes take place, then they take place at the level of... city parts and it is there that products are written off or low-quality products are supplied and

they turn a blind eye to this, and as a result , instead of conditionally supplying some kind of meat, the company supplies a higher-grade sausage, or third-grade sausage, and gets a huge margin. it is obvious that the president here definitely does not know about such cases of corruption, and the minister does not even know about them, but... nevertheless, they are, they exist, there are other things that already concern, for example, the purchase of weapons, and in i often wonder why the crimes of certain companies, the non-delivery of weapons, are not properly investigated in ukraine, and especially if we we are talking, for example, about the agreement of the lviv arsenal, ah, when... the ministry of defense has not received supplies under this contract for more than a year, it even filed a lawsuit, but in fact, this matter

is at the level of the national police, although it seems to me that there should be more weighty articles, and at the same time, the persons involved in the case live peacefully in the czech republic, no one persecutes them, no one is looking for them, and at the same time they conduct... business, they are involved in more than one corruption scheme, and our the law enforcement officers for some reason do not see these people, although they are directly related to such a person as andriy hmyrin, who two years ago was very involved in the office of the president. but, but ms. tetyana, ignorance, or the fact that the president does not know about it, or the minister of defense does not know about it, does not absolve him from responsibility, that is, if the minister does not know what he has there... they are stealing , or that at inflated prices they are trying, well, how about our money, they unearthed that the ministry of defense entered into agreements

for inflated prices at inflated prices will feed the personnel of military educational institutions who study in the national aviation university and shevchenko kyiv national university, if they do not know this, or they do not have this information, it does not mean... that they are not responsible for this, because if they do not know, then they, well, at least the minister defense, he is still responsible for what happens in his department, isn't that right? ah, look, it's obvious that they bear political responsibility for this, and this is exactly what happened in the case of oleksiy ryeznikov, whether he knew about tyyatsya on 17 or not, whether he didn't know about the specifics of the contract for the purchase of jackets from a company that is in some way connected with the relatives of the people's deputy, but one way or another, he bore his political

responsibility, and accordingly the president also has consequences for himself, perhaps even unknown to him, but they... and are marked in one way or another on his rating, well, in the end, this is probably such an objective reality, even if in principle there are no grounds for legal prosecution for you, for certain things, we are still responsible in one way or another, someone by reputation, someone by position, well, someone in a different way, you are now a member of the public anti-corruption council under the ministry of defense, does your public council see more than that? what is happening in the ministry of defense of ukraine, and journalists , respectively, are investigators rather than anti-corruption bodies or not, that is, the ratio of how many public scandals there are around procurement and misuse of money in the ministry of defense of ukraine and the reaction of anti-corruption bodies to this, why journalists

are quite often ahead of anti-corruption journalists authorities, although our anti-corruption authorities are the best in europe, and we have known about this since 2016. well, look, there was no way we could get ahead of the journalists in the 17 eggs scandal, we were actually already as a public anti-corruption council created after this scandal happened, it is obvious that we are not an investigative body, and we see our function in to correct those things that are in the ministry of education, they do not contain. corruption risks, so, for example, it is obvious to me that if we do not change supplies the ministry of defense is there and we do not divide them into separate food groups, then we will never overcome the monopoly of certain groups that exists now, and they will supply our army with food until the end of time, and it is obvious that clay will eventually buy not only hotels in croatia, but also

some palaces in great britain, or i don't know some there... prochos in the united states, and because in principle it is impossible to create competition for these companies in such conditions, therefore our task is precisely to see these corruption risks and create some institutional mechanisms that would change the rules, including revising some technical conditions and specifications for certain goods, so that it does not happen that we have a monopoly of one supplier for 17 years, and even if we start to break it now, we will not be able to do. and because it is impossible to create a competitor for them so easily from the start, and the fact that the law enforcement officers are not doing well, well, this is a matter for the law enforcement officers, we are in constant contact with the national anti-corruption bureau, and other law enforcement agencies are not eager to work with us to communicate, well, we try

to keep in constant contact and find out how this or that investigation is going. including there and in what concerns the 17th story and some other stories, because the ministry of defense of the nbo began to investigate procurement earlier, but as always with our investigations, they last much longer than the public interest in this or that, yesterday, mrs. tetiana, the ministry of defense of ukraine terminated the last contract with lviv businessman ihor hrenkevych. one of the largest suppliers department, he is suspected of having caused losses to the state budget of almost uah 1 billion. this is quite such a big and high-profile matter, which is now being talked about in society, well, at least in western ukraine , to be exact, within the borders of ukraine, maybe not so

much, but in lviv there is a lot of talk about it. i... according to you, one person could, could, how many, 33 companies did he have or 23 companies that concluded 23 contracts, 33 contracts, the way you, how, how he could abuse and with budget to launder there or cause losses of 1 billion hryvnias, and no one saw this, or they saw it too late, when this 1 billion had already been taken. see, the story is how his companies got these contracts in the first place. this is the same story as with the jackets, summer and winter, which caused the scandal. summer and for which minister reznikov actually paid with his position, but in the case of the same contracts of the hrynkevichs, it is the same story,

because these losses amount to a billion hryvnias, they were caused, including for non-fulfillment of 23 contracts, according to which the companies were to supply jackets, pants, t-shirts, shirts, underpants, and this was to be done by the company, whose profile method of operation. there was construction activity , by what miracle these companies were selected by the ministry of defense to supply textiles, and it is not known, and accordingly, even concluding contracts with them should become a marker of corruption risks, as it was written in the audit chamber’s report that, in principle, the ministry defense should not have concluded contracts with these companies, because it itself created risks that these goods would not be delivered, because the company did not have any capacity to sew these products, so of course gronkevich had some contacts in the ministry of defense,

because they did not come there yesterday, they are a supplier of the ministry of defense, they worked on construction contracts, it must be said that they did not perform them very well either, there is a scandal surrounding their construction on a large doe, there are unfulfilled works on... assembly on the territory of one of the military units in zhytomyr region, that is, in principle, if there was no corruption of the ministry of defense, in general, these contracts that were signed at the beginning of the 23rd year, they could not have existed at all, because, well, in fact , we are dealing with an unscrupulous contractor, and now he is senjumodilo for his own agency, he foresees such a risk factor in the contracts that if the company does not perform the work, then it ... can be deprived of the right to supply for the ministry of defense for three years, i think this is correct, even if we talk about the fact that you can create a second, third company, i

i think that it is possible to generalize , to make other additional criteria that will simply make it impossible to sign contracts with similar companies, accordingly, we will not have a story at the exit with the fact that we have not supplied jackets or supplied jackets, which, i’m sorry, fall apart in hands well, that's what happened when we brought these reznikov jackets to the examination, and we decided to see what kind of insulation there was inside, and we got ready to cut the lining with a knife, and it crawled in our hands, yes, yes, right on such a jackets, well, that is, i understand that if there is hrynkevich, then there is a person with whom he signs. contract in the ministry of defense, well, that is, no way without it. the sbi says that this is a criminal group that was organized by igor hrenkevich, but again,

whoever hrenkevich is, powerful as a businessman and in his negotiations, he still signs an agreement with someone, if whoever signs the agreement does not consider the risks that this construction company carries. buys clothes for the armed forces, which means whoever signs on behalf of the ministry of defense of ukraine simply turns a blind eye or accepts these risks, right? yes, of course , and we would like to, well, because we see that currently two culprits have been appointed to the anti-defence defense, this is the former head of the specialized department of resource provision, bohdan khmelnytskyi and his immediate supervisor , the deputy minister of defense, shapovalov, right now. these people are to blame for all the contracts out there from unsupplied vests to unsupplied underpants, they are the two responsible, although it is obvious that behind all

these schemes, organized by groups , include other people, and i would like to investigate the roles of certain people 's deputies, and other representatives of the ministry or other power structures in how these contracts were signed, because so that your viewers can see... the scale, for example, other tenders of the hrynkevich family, well, for some lyceum in zhytomyr oblast, this is 700 hryvnias for a toilet paper holder, in the context of the ministry of defense we are already talking about contracts for 1.5 billion, 1.3 billion, 600 million hryvnias, i.e. these are generally unreasonable sums and a very tasty piece, for which... well, judging by everything, they did not launch anyone else. mrs. tetiana, over the past seven days we have witnessed how provocations were organized

against our colleagues yuriy. nikalov and the team of denys bigus yesterday , president zelenskyi spoke about the inadmissibility of pressure on journalists. let's listen to what zelensky said. separately, regarding the situation with our journalists, in particular the fact of monitoring journalists. the security service of ukraine has started an investigation and will find out all the circumstances. any pressure on journalists is unacceptable. tatiana you conducted investigations and also wrote a lot about the abuse of power and the previous and current powers, who and why do you think they are putting pressure on journalists now? unfortunately, journalists are really investigative, they are now creating great inconvenience for many officials who are engaged in and have been engaged in corruption for many years, and it is possible. if earlier such

scandals had less resonance, then even in the case of grynkevichev, we can see how irritated society is now reacting to such stories, and accordingly, these people are very reluctant to leave their powerful cabinets, they then have no choice but to discredit journalists, they say, well, who are our judges, unfortunately, it reminds me very much of the yanukovych era, and what happened in 2013 before the orange... revolution, how they also monitored journalists, they were credited in every way , their mail was hacked, some videos from their private lives were posted there, and unfortunately, certain things from those times are coming back, and maybe this is a consequence of the fact that some people who were in power even then , they still remain in power and create such very... bad things

things, and it is obvious that we need , i hope, the security service, they will not formally treat this story, but will investigate the situation that happened around my colleagues from zbigusinfo, because whatever happened at this party, but it is obvious that we have deal with the fact of illegal examination and eavesdropping of journalists, but is zelenskyi's statement that pressure on journalists is unacceptable, even though we know it, sufficient now. the statements of the former head of president zelenskyi's office that we don't really need journalists, we see them as some telegram slops are becoming mass media on which the current government is betting, is it sincere, does zelenskyy want to deal with it, or does he simply have no other way out, because there are western partners, and democracy and the development of mass

media, freedom of speech are cornerstones stones for any partners, it is true that the president probably has no option not to react to this story, and our western partners, they are very sensitive to all these cases of pressure on the press, for them this is one of the main markers, to what extent democratic processes in the state are under threat, therefore , of course, for the magazines themselves. it will be much more important how high-quality the investigation of the same security service will be , and what the results of the investigation will be, and because talking and making a statement is one thing, but actually showing who is guilty and whether he is punished or not is a completely different story. thank you, ms. tetyana, for including me, this was tetyana nikolayenko, journalist, member of the public anti-corruption council of the ministry of defense
