and they passed mini-fields , they try to bypass them, accordingly , they also have active aerial reconnaissance there, from our side, from their side, they can monitor, in particular, the installation of mine barriers, that is, they can see it, calculate some routes and this one, that is, it is a two-way war there , that is, they mine, we mine, it stops, gives time, because the infantrymen are not always sitting in positions, there are... groups that put out these fires are stormtroopers, advance, and it is necessary for these hold on for half an hour, they stop, that's it a big plus, but they, well, i'll say it, the last 10 days, it's an assault every day, an assault every day, and especially at those points where we have to mine, what they tell us to go, here and there we get to work, and there already at the house, and the assault group came again and it was all cleaned up before morning, it happened a couple of times, but then we... closed all their passages and

the assault did not stop, they started climbing already on foot, that is, some kind of beha is coming, there, conditionally , at some boundary there, 500 per m per kilometer , the landing party lands and they continue to move to the side, they are different there method with small arms, there with artillery ammunition, resets are simply dismantled. our last task was that we had to go out into the field, and when we saw them under the raincoats , you don’t crawl, it’s such a job... and you can meet them in the field itself even in the fall of 2023, when it became clear that they are still moving in active defense along the entire front line, president volodymyr zelensky instructed the military and officials to accelerate the construction of defensive fortifications in all main directions. kadmin allocated for this almost uah 800 million. after 3 months, the ukrainian troops left avdiivka and, as the command reported at the time, went to advance under.

prepared positions, however, according to the military and experts, in reality it was not quite so, and ukraine has problems with fortifications. the commander of the direction reported: the fighters have entered new lines of defense, they are building, let’s call it, not without taftology, there are engineering and fortification structures, new defenses, why now, why after leaving avdiivka, where the defense, already... when avdiivka was burning, when avdiivka was starting to be a critical place, why was this not mentioned in advance, why do we not have individual units, individual people, we had a very wonderful campaign there, when people are recruited there for armor, for salary, well , for a postponement, more precisely, there to dig defenses, and they were engaged in this, but our infantry storms, repels, fights, and also has to dig for itself. engineering and fortification

structures, well, many soldiers shared their thoughts with us, the state of affairs there, both engineers and infantry, that is, our defense leaves much to be desired, certainly not everywhere there are responsible comprigs, combatants, praise and honor to those who think ahead, who dig, look for opportunities, build up, think through all this defense, protect their fighters. and there are frankly unscrupulous people who ignore all this, that is, all this becomes a consequence, the cost of the lives of our fighters, this should not be, it is a problem that must be solved, because the most precious thing we have is our fighters, who should be protected, cherished, valued their lives. western osin analyst clément molin notes, that the defense line behind avdiivka is still

insufficiently prepared, because the main fortifications are 17 km from the city. however, the defensive line runs through the river and lakes, and this makes it a natural obstacle. in general, according to the analyst, the donbas defense line of the ukrainian armed forces, it is marked in yellow on the map, is more complex than the russian sorovikin line, and consists of well-fortified systems separated by fields, where the elements of the defense system are less than a kilometer apart. each such fort can be defended from all sides to advance. must be taken all of them, any engineering, it 's not perfect, and never guarantees 100% survival of the personnel, but you have to get out of there certain things, yes, there are drones that can bring this fpv directly into the dugout, this is for the same if the entrance to the dugout is being built with the letter double g, so if it is made in a straight line, well, i congratulate you, well, you are a nominee. for the darwin award, well, you are either

idiots yourself, or you have not been taught, that is, there are moments, the second is, of course, concrete and dugouts - this is a very good story, why ... because if a wooden roof, then you can see the heat, and the russian fp has drones that are directly equipped with thermal imagers, sensitive, they see us and directly cover us, this is a big problem, why i know a lot of people who , being in the battles for steppove bay, they just got the usual frostbite, because physically they couldn't even melt the corn, because they were afraid that it would fly. this is the second, the third is the saturation with mine means of our lines with normal minefields. ukrainian prime minister denys shmigal announced at the beginning of march that this year the construction of defense the cabinet of ministers allocated a record 20 billion uah.

they will be distributed among all regions, including border and kyiv regions. 3 billion will be received by the ministry of defense, the rest will be transferred to regional administrations. according to him, a coordination headquarters has been created... in which the ova, the general staff and the ministry of defense work together. since last year, both the ministry of defense and the general staff had quite enough funds at their disposal to build reliable defensive fortifications on the first and second lines, whether it was done, that is the question, actually, it lies within the limits of the general staff and the ministry of defense, we cannot communicate it publicly, civilians do not have access to all elements of this report. accordingly, from the side , from its side, the cabinet of ministers has allocated, is allocating sufficient funds, to date we only have the fact of the transfer, well, that the funds were allocated, it was said that they would be allocated there to the regional councils, to the military-civilian

administration, although it is very strange, in we have engineering troops, we have an army, which must have the means, give the fighters the means, give them tractors, the ability to dig... to build a defense and they will do their job, we chose a more bureaucratic way, that is, we will hand it over to the regional councils, there are tenders, here are all the contracts, and here is all the trouble that will drag on again, we have to dig and mine, pour concrete already today and now, because the russians are advancing, we see at what pace, with what force, people really want it to be on... the first line of defense, to be the very first line, but think soberly, if the enemy there took this line, then there would be nothing behind him, and the defense could just be there

penetrated at a considerable depth, in fact it is not a single line of defense, as some would like to see it, it is a whole system dotted on the relief over... a large territory, where there are a lot of various fortifications, some of them existed even before, the main part began their , their construction began approximately in december last year, even before the withdrawal from avdiivka took place. was it possible to do it earlier, was it possible to do something like the russian line, well , maybe not in this form, but possible. mm, you will understand correctly, if in all of donetsk, luhansk and the autonomous republic of crimea, which is occupied, i.e. in this occupied part of ukraine, you cannot find cement, because all the cement and concrete is directed to the construction of those lines, it was in the spring of 2023,

in in the 22nd year, for some reason, we focused on the construction of roads, and not on the construction of defense structures, but defense structures, that is , they must always be there, must be the second and third lines. because there is no problem that you will lose the landing there, who needs it, but you have to go to the border, and those lines should primarily protect the soldier, and not as sometimes happens, that the second or third line is up to the waist, yes, and the soldier would roll there, and during the battle he still has to think about how to dig in, well, into the ground . volyn - ukraine's border with belarus, according to military analysts, is one of the potentially dangerous areas. the russian army can go on the offensive here to cut ukraine's logistical corridor, the supply of weapons and ammunition from the west. protection and defense

of the state border in this direction is echeloned, that is, not literally concentrated near the state border, it is stretched over a fairly large distance to the rear of the site from here we can observe an anti-tank ditch to prevent the passage of enemy heavy equipment, anti-tank barricades of the tetraider type, as they are popularly called dragon's teeth, are installed . a fence to prevent the penetration of both sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the enemy, er, as well as any manpower, the enemy, which can be used for a possible probable offensive in this area. a concrete wall for kilometers, thorny wire with electric current, in this place, in a relatively calm environment , the fortifications of the first full-scale war are being actively built. we are now directly on the ukrainian-belarusian border. there is already the territory of belarus behind my back, as you can see, there is already a border post painted in

the colors of the belarusian flag, and the ukrainian border guards have dug a huge anti-tank ditch here, which is wider and deeper than usual, besides , the groundwater level is very high here, so the water has risen and this will create additional obstacles in the case offensive, for example, against... probably, the main obstacle in the way of a possible russian offensive is the topography of the ukrainian forest, the forested area and the swamp are a serious natural obstacle. the section is quite difficult to pass, er, first of all, as for the enemy's manpower, i am already silent about the enemy's heavy equipment, that is, if any offensive actions are carried out here, it is also disadvantageous for the enemy, the cost is high, the consumption of resources is - for carrying out offensive actions, er, so here, well, the following are the most likely directions - this is the action of small

sabotage and reconnaissance groups, but we are currently observing a lull, that is , we are not observing a major escalation of the conflict in this area, the areas are mined , they are mined not in one row, in several rows, so they are accordingly installed as anti-tank , as well as anti-personnel mine-explosive barriers, in addition, towers with thermal imaging cameras are installed everywhere, the range is one... up to 10 km, all together they control more than 200 km of the border, remote video surveillance systems are installed, multi-sensor cameras allow us to carry out round-the-clock video surveillance of the border area, directly behind the state border line and the adjacent territory of the neighboring state, they are powered by solar batteries, accordingly also in... we have starlinks that allow us to transmit images, images from

video cameras to we are transferred to the duty officers of the border division and also to the management of the border detachment, i.e. from these positions we can control the video camera, accordingly monitor the situation and conduct video surveillance of the site. here in volyn, such cameras are installed along the entire ukrainian-belarusian border, and what is important, they react. on the move and have the function of capturing and escorting the target around the clock, it is also possible to see the border units of the republic of belarus, but, well, on contact that we, well, they are not moving accordingly in connection with the beginning of a full-scale invasion and with the maintenance of russian aggression federation by the republic of belarus in connection with their policy, our border outfits, respectively, on their territories feel themselves. calm down, but the belarusian border guards try to avoid both direct eye contact and

any other contacts when our border guards meet, they try to go to the areas of their responsibility so as not to see us. we are now driving along the border with russia, it is about 3 km away, we have to go fast, as we have already seen. there are several inversion traces in the sky: russian planes fly directly to the border and launch drones over ukrainian settlements. point the situation at the border in kharkiv oblast it is difficult to call it peaceful, artillery, mortars, and aviation of the russian army are always working here. border villages are broken, but despite this, ukrainian border guards from the steel border brigade are constantly strengthening their positions. moreover, they try to make them not only convenient. for defense, but also comfortable for life. at first glance,

it seems that i am walking on a regular landing, in fact, i have a real underground city under my feet, which stretches for 3 km. logs in three rolls, sprinkled with earth on top for camouflage, light, hot water, sewage, dugouts and, of course, loopholes in order to directly fight. the most important thing is that it is safe here, the wood axis, these rolls, they allow you to withstand a direct hit of 152 m'. trench projectile, so it is safe here, and it is safe for the local population, because we have completely withdrawn all our units from populated areas. the steel border brigade has been here for seven months, before that it fought in the bakhmut direction. when we arrived at this part of the front, there were just trenches. at first

, they didn't even believe what could be done, there was an idea when well, they started planning it. they started earthworks, first with an excavator , then when they started to receive them, they realized that we were on the right path and it was necessary to do it, especially when the enemy began to use artillery and mortars, the personnel did not even have to say, they dug into the ground like crazy very quickly, that this is necessary, this is security, in the conditions of a defensive battle, this is one of the first things that must be done, fortifications and engineering structures. huh, because, well, it's one thing to dig, but to lead a defensive battle, then you need to be underground, necessarily. it was decided not to wait for some state program , to do everything with our own hands to create comfortable conditions. here we are now at one of the positions of our brigade,

where in principle all the necessary conditions have been created so that people can rest and... behave themselves, wash, wash, eat, and we constantly rotate, people who return from combat shifts, there they are on the direct line of contact, they they stay from one to five days, then they return here, put themselves in order, and well, in principle, this allows us to maintain such a morale and fighting spirit of our servicemen. this is a hot meal for the staff, what are you preparing for lunch today, pickled kipshom, salad, everything is being prepared, okay , maybe, oh, cool, when we came in, there was water on the floor, there was dampness, humidity, well, we decided that in such conditions we should cook , eat, we didn't

like it, they sewed up the walls, made ventilation, everyone... this is actually an illustration of what for ukrainian border guards cover the trenches with planks, that's how much the earth crumbles, it's practically higher than a generation here, it's very difficult to walk, and of course, in the event of some serious hostilities, it will greatly hinder. except that there are no assaults, oh these meat assaults that are on the line. collision, in principle , the situation is the same as in the combat zone , that is, here we also have, as an example, repeated attempts to attack the drg, and now, in principle, the main task of the guys who are directly on the state border is to detect them in a timely manner and the destruction of drg groups. we have a crazy

system of combating drones, the first line detects, the second, third, fourth in... carries out suppression, we have quite powerful anti-drone and anti-drone weapons, and anti-drone guns are also very good. our unit has the highest number of such indicators for destroying enemy drones, more or less i will say that not only are they destroyed, we manage to land them, flash them, re-equip them and we use them again. as a boomerang on the enemy's positions, conducting continuous observation, yes, with periodic fire damage to the enemy, the introduction of fire on the prohibition, this is constantly carried out , this is, well, how long have i been on the territory of russia, yes , if they start shelling you or something, we fire, we will say in response according to their fire points, mortars

, machine gun calculations, with tanks, grenade launchers , for some units the main of... of the most favorite targets in this area are enemy observation complexes by moore, moore m, moore p, today for two months this year, and for these two months we have already destroyed 15 murums, on average, the cost of one such observation complex is from 50 to 70 thousand dollars, the cost of one fpv drone is 250-300 $, that is , you can see that the proportionality is enough. big and for us such a good, powerful, fat target, why even the same cambrig does not have normal construction equipment to build defense lines, why do you have to run? to that farmer, to ask him for that tractor, that we have to constantly turn to the authorities for help, we have to rebuild the system so that our engineering parts are so filled with equipment, so that they simply

did not want to take it on balance, so that there were enough buildings, sorry for the same biton, we need to concentrate a strategic resource, and now it is construction equipment in the hands of the military, so let it be the level of the corps, let it be and the level is possible... of an engineer battalion in some brigades, but this is now a necessity, well, an actual necessity, you need to dig lines, and when we talk about the third and second lines, it is still there within the range of artillery, but you can work at night, i'm sorry, but i saw how the russians built their line under fire in may, when our rear literally tried to... hinder them, demolished whole positions, at night they built again, well, that’s all, and it wasn’t any persians, it

was just a simple, ordinary stroybat , well, maybe, well, i'm against aping russian practices, but maybe our national commanders need to think about why the russians do it, but we don't. the russian army does not stop trying to break through the front line, having a serious advantage in people, ammunition and equipment. until military aid from the western allies did not arrive, solid, deeply echeloned defense along the entire front line and the state border with russia and belarus becomes one of the main factors in the war, this is the minimum that the armed forces of ukraine need for the successful introduction of hostilities. my name is igor loginov, these were donbas realities, see you soon. see this week in the program. court control with tetyana shustrova. candidates for the constitutional court. who failed the interview? when the constitution of ukraine was adopted. i can answer to

question. but why did the judge's drunken driving become the fruit of the poisonous tree? and i was refused a medical examination. congratulations. judicial control is on the air. the judicial system of ukraine needs a thorough reboot. this is one of the requirements of our accession to the european union. interviews with candidates for one of the country's most important judges - the constitutional court - have begun in ukraine. unlike all previous competitions, this time the selection criteria are strict and transparent. biographies and compliance with the criteria of professionalism and integrity is studied in detail by an advisory group of experts, which also includes independent foreign specialists. so hiding the skeletons in the closet is not easy for candidates, but some desperately try. we will talk about this today, but... first, to the news. the higher qualification commission of judges allowed

oksana sofilkanych, the judge of the volovetskyi district court of zakarpattia oblast, to participate in the competition for the position of a judge in the appellate instance. that year, she made a scandalous and high-profile decision, imposing a suspended sentence on three rapists of a 14-year-old girl. girls we will remind you that in august 2021, a group of teenagers sexually assaulted a minor and recorded it all on camera. subsequently, the video about... was spread on the network and among classmates. the case gained publicity after oksana sofilkanych released the defendants from real punishment, imposing five years, conditionally, with two years of probation. the transcarpathian court of appeals found procedural violations committed by sofilkanych during the case review and decision making. the sentence passed by her was cancelled. now the case is being heard again with a different composition of the court. oksana sofilkanych, on the other hand, was not only not brought to justice for the violation, but can also receive a promotion and hold a position in the court of appeal. selection for one of the most important judicial bodies, the constitutional court, has begun in ukraine. previously

, the judges of the constitutional court were appointed by the president, the parliament and the congress of judges. according to the constitution, selection takes place on a competitive basis. however, in reality, the procedure did not involve a real competition, since each subject of appointment separately held its own formal competitions, which by no means ensured. verification of candidates' compliance with the requirements of the constitution. therefore , the risk of political influence was rampant. at the end of 2022, the verkhovna rada adopted a law on changing the procedure for selecting judges of the constitutional court of ukraine. the law established an advisory group of experts, which included six members. one each from the verkhovna rada, the president and the congress of judges of ukraine, one person from the venice commission, and two persons delegated by international organizations, that provide assistance to ukraine in reforms of the sphere. the rule of law. the advisory group must analyze each candidate for compliance with the criteria of integrity and professional competence. and this gifted group of experts, she should, so to speak.

candidates, and from the qualified candidates, the president, judges, and the verkhovna rada will already choose their own, according to their quota, whom they will appoint as judges of the constitutional court. and although the new conditions of selection for the position of judge of the constitutional court are strict and transparent, the officials are unscrupulous themis do not lose hope of climbing into the high chair. the constitutional court is a court of law. he is a judge of the commercial court of the transcarpathian region, and the advisory group of experts has many questions for him. the judge has been working in uzhhorod for more than 10 years, but he does not declare his residence there, he says he lives from monday to friday wherever he can. in fact, i don't rent and i don't have ownership rights, very often my parents' friends help me out, these are their friends from student years. in addition , colleagues help out. i would like to understand, well, you can

stop it like that. during the month, you can stop within a week, and 10 years, as you decide , in 10 years i have already learned to plan it, that is, i plan in advance where i am, interesting planning, instead andreychuk has an apartment in lviv, 117 m2, he bought it in installments from 2006 to 2014 he paid almost 60 thousand dollars for her, according to judicial tradition, the money was given by the parents, in 2006... i got married, and in fact the first installment, these are all payments for 2006, were my parents' wedding gifts. here , andreychuk did not get the dates, because he got married in september, and he had been paying for the apartment since january. contributed at least $21,000 to the celebration. well, since the wedding was being prepared for more than a year, we knew about the marriage and were preparing for the wedding, accordingly, the parents made such a gift and paid for it as they could. in 2004

, lubomir. andreychuk purchased 30 acres of land in bukovel for farming, but almost immediately changed the purpose of 25 acres for construction. there was an intention to build a hotel complex there, however, my family had to deal with that. in the end, it did not grow with the business. in 2016 andriychuk sold the plot without violating the law, he gave it for cash. what was the amount of the contract, a total of about 4.5%. approximately, and what prompted you, the judge of the commercial court, to violate the legislation regarding the procedure for making payments, i know that there are restrictions, since the buyers did not agree to make the payment through the bank, then they decided that they will give, i will receive the funds to provide receipts, probably at that moment i did not understand until the end of the 16th year, but now you already understand, and of course, except for the questions before

professional integrity of lyubomyr a... experts have questions about academic integrity. in 2018, he defended a thesis that contained plagiarism itself, which is a violation of scientific ethics. but as it turned out, the candidate of legal sciences did not know that this was a violation. i did not know, first of all, this information only became known for the first time. no, do you know what self-plagiarism is? i understand, i myself, i repeated myself, if i understood myself so correctly, i wrote myself off. we are talking about the fact that this is a candidate's thesis. well, the next fragment of the interview we will not even comment on the candidate for judge of the constitutional court of ukraine lyubomyr andriychuk. when was the constitution of ukraine adopted and what chapters and articles does it consist of? the year of adoption of the constitution

is the year. currently, lyubomyr andriychuk is applying not only for the position of judge of the constitutional court, he is also a candidate for the position of judge of the court of appeal. we will find out soon what decision the advisory group of experts and the vkk, where he will also have an interview, will make regarding him. and this is already another candidate for the constitutional court - judge mykolaivskyi mykola voynarivskyi of the district court of the mykolaiv region. in 2022, he was caught driving drunk. the police made up. report on drunken driving. subsequently, the court closed the case against voynarivskyi in the absence of a crime. during the interview, a group of experts wanted to examine the videos from the policemen's chest cameras in order to assess the judge's state of intoxication and his behavior. voynarovsky showed vigilance. this entry occurred for unknown reasons.
