again decided to put on a uniform, however, already of the russian model. locals say that with the arrival of the invaders, balabin met them and received them in his house at a sumptuous table. for such a warm reception, the traitor was appointed chief of the police of the kyrylivka village. but not for long. in the summer of 2023, he was removed from his post. realizing that a court and a cage await him in ukraine, the seller tried to leave the occupied territories. one problem: the policeman was not given the right to travel. they say that yurii balabin tried to leave the occupation three times through the crimea to russia, and three times he was returned to the post block, because he is on the no-go list. yuriy, i want to inform you that we in ukraine are waiting for you very much, you can even not take your things, they give you pajamas and a brush in prison. it was the program collaborators and i, olena kononenko. if you have information about the kremlin... sellers, write

to us at this e-mail address or simply on facebook, together we will send all the traitors after the russian ship. see you in a week on espresso. plus 70 km to the active front line, which is already there was more than 1200 km. the repeated offensive of the occupiers in the north of kharkiv region opened a new story. in the russian-ukrainian war. after a week of heavy fighting, the situation was stabilized, president volodymyr zelenskyy said. the enemy did not gain a foothold in vovchansk, a city located 4 km from the ukrainian-russian border. in general, the invaders advanced no more than 10 km. the enemy expanded the zone of active hostilities by almost 70 km. thus, trying to force us to use an additional number of brigades from the reserve. the enemy started

the offensive was much earlier than planned, when he noticed the overturning of our troops, but he did not manage to break through our defenses, however , we understand that there will be heavy battles ahead, and the enemy is preparing for it. oleksandr syrskyi, commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine. stretching ukrainian reserves may be the main goal of the russians , the ukrainian military leadership suggests. the russian army has an advantage in personnel. seeks to take advantage of this, in particular, to withdraw part of the defense forces from donbas, where they have been for many months heavy fighting continues, and kharkiv may not be the only direction. in an interview with the new york times, the head of gur kyrylo budanov said that in the coming days the russians may launch an attack on sumy oblast. these words worried many, especially since the evacuation has already begun in the border communities of the sumy region. in order to calm the civilians, budanov had to appear in... a national

telethon just from kharkiv oblast, where fierce fighting is going on. as for the sumy region, the russians actually planned from the very beginning, from the very beginning, i'm sorry, i have certain inconveniences here, from the very beginning they planned an operation in the same way in the sumy region, as of now, they are keeping a small group of forces in the border area in the direction. let's say this, for them it is the city of suja, from our side, it is the sumy area, but the situation has not allowed them to take active actions so far. the ukrainian military command knew about the plan: the ukrainian military command knew about the enemy's plans, intelligence reported them in advance, but to understand the enemy's plan it's not enough, you need to have resources to counter it, namely reserves and weapons, and if... the first big

problems, then the situation with weapons began to improve, american and so-called czech ammunition seems to be already partially at the front. at least, volodymyr zelenskyi claims, for the first time in two years of war, the armed forces have enough artillery shells, and none of the brigades complains about the shortage of bc. this is confirmed by nato officials. the russians do not have the necessary number of troops to carry out. a strategic breakthrough in kharkiv region. moreover, they do not have the skills and capabilities for this. allies have accelerated the delivery of large shipments of aid to ukraine after the us approved an aid package for the armed forces. they are now sending a huge amount of ammunition, a huge amount of short-range air defense systems and a significant amount of armored vehicles to ukraine. the enemy also feels the arrival of long-range weapons. on the night of may 14 to 15 in... the military-important

belbek airfield near occupied sevastopol was attacked by missiles twice a day atakams. later , satellite images appeared on the network, from which conclusions can be drawn. about the losses of the russians, which are at least three military aircraft and warehouses with fuel and lubricant materials. the russian armed forces could essentially thin out the ranks of the russians even before the russian offensive on the kharkiv region, but the usa still forbids ukraine from striking the enemy on its territory. because of this , the occupiers have a strategic advantage, although not one hundred percent. on the night of may 17, ukrainian drones struck a number of objects both in the occupied crimea and in novorossiya. dad opse the attack was the largest in recent months. against the background of the intensification of hostilities and mutual strikes, diplomacy also revived. chinese president xi jinping flew to france for talks with emmanuel macron, and then

received vladimir putin in beijing. there, the russian dictator praised china's peace plan and made it clear that there was no intention to end the war. macron is expected to visit kyiv soon, and united states secretary of state anthony blinken arrived in the ukrainian capital this week, who words three weeks ago he was also in china. what does this day of diplomatic visits mean, and is kyiv being forced to negotiate with moscow, at least not publicly. in particular , blinkin once again confirmed that one day sitting at the transition table depends on ukraine and only on it, and president zelenskyy emphasized. that ukraine ties diplomatic hope with the global peace summit in switzerland. as for the negotiations, again, these decisions should be made by ukraine, not the united states or any other country. therefore, if you imagine that if putin found out though

some interest in serious participation in the negotiations, i am sure that the ukrainians would respond to this, but putin demonstrates the exact opposite every day. despite everything, we are preparing a peace summit, we are preparing a platform so that the world majority can force russia to make peace, i am grateful to everyone for their desire to restore the full effectiveness of international law, we will continue to act no less actively, all continents, all views of countries must be represented at the peace summit . however, will the peace summit in switzerland really bring results? the main idea of ​​the meeting was to involve in the work. stole not only the west, but also representatives of the so-called global south, but, as the media reports, the presidents of south africa and brazil have no intention of going to lucerne, switzerland, in particular, the brazilian leader lula da silva, as if he does not see the point in the negotiations, to which he was not invited russia there is a high probability that

the summit will ignore china, which dramatically reduces the chances of diplomatic success. in the end, the outcome of this war will probably be decided not in negotiations, but on the battlefield. and peace conferences will only fix it. ahead difficult months american weapons can help stabilize the front line. most likely sometime in july - claims the new york times with reference to anonymous sources in the administration of joseph biden. however , he emphasizes that this is not enough for a strategic change in the situation on the front line in favor of ukraine. therefore, after a few months, the war may eventually end with the so-called korean scenario, that is, the fixation... the clash as a new, heyday unrecognized border, however, these are only predictions, of which there were many, many during the two years of the war, and most of which did not come true, and the war is likely to continue in 2025. watch this week's judicial control program with

tatyana shustrova. a false report about a crime, how the vrp rejected the complaint of the head of the economic court of the kyiv region. no facts of interference in their activities as judges have been established. but why did pavel gorbasenko's father end up on the myrotvorets website? greetings, you are watching judicial control, i am tatyana shustrova. the judicial system of ukraine is in a zone of turbulence. due to the catastrophic lack of judges, the higher qualification commission tirelessly works on holding contests for positions and evaluating the current servants of themis. it is so tiring that recently interviews are completed in 7 minutes, judges with dubious reputation... and fortunes of unknown origin remain in their positions , pavlo gorbasenko, the head of the economic court of the kyiv region, turned out to be the next judge willing to successfully survive the turbulence and stay in the chair. he and many other unscrupulous representatives of the judiciary expect that the renewed

composition of the supreme court of justice will eventually turn a blind eye to their discrepancy. we will talk about it today, but first to the news. for the first time since 2022, president volodymyr zelenskyi has signed a number of decrees on the appointment of judges to positions in local general, commercial and administrative courts, as well as in regional commercial courts. this is the former. judges are the so -called five-year judges, participants of the 2017 selection and participants of previous selections for the positions of judges. in total, zelensky appointed 116 servants of themis. oleksiy mykytyuk, judge of the illegally created rf kyiv district court of simferopol, was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for working for the enemy. according to the sbu, mykytyuk helped the russian invaders legitimize the political repression of crimeans who do not agree with the kremlin regime. according to the investigation, he... is involved in the adoption of a number of illegal decisions regarding activists of the occupied peninsula. based on the collected

evidence, the court found mykytyuk guilty under the article on collaborative activity and sentenced him to 15 years in prison, which the judge will begin serving as soon as he is arrested. the higher qualification commission continues to evaluate of ukrainian judges to match their positions. not all and especially resourceful judges pass the check, while the qualification commission in... the decision, in parallel, submits to another court for a competition, and suddenly succeeds. this is pavlo gorbasenko, head of the economic court of the kyiv region. he is one of the most scandalous judges and the most influential people of kyiv region. currently, gorbasenko is waiting for a decision from the supreme court of appeals, will he continue to sit in the judge's chair? in december, the commission postponed the decision on gorbasenko. the decision to adjourn the meeting, because. a few points, a few points in connection with which the commission cannot, i believe,

cannot make a decision, pokis is waiting for additional explanations and documents from pavel gorbasenko, he decided not to waste time, submitted documents to participate in the competition for the position of a judge in the northern appeals court commercial court. in this way, you can get a promotion and reset some facts of your personal and professional biography. gorbasenko also spams the prosecutor general and the supreme council of justice with complaints. and complaints through alleged interference in his work. in reality , he is trying to justify himself in a banal way, because appeals about his unprofessionalism and mistakes made during the consideration of cases have been received by the highest level of the commission. we are talking about one of the enterprises of critical infrastructure in the kyiv region, bilotserkivsk thermal power plant. the shareholders insist that in the pad case the judge made many unjust decisions, took measures to secure the claim by suspending the effect of the decisions of the general meeting of shareholders, in another case gorbasenko did the same according to the application. signed by the representative of the defendant and began to consider another lawsuit, again , signed not by the plaintiffs, but

by the representative of the defendant. the northern commercial court of appeal, where gorbasenko wants to go, overturned his decisions. therefore, the shareholders believe that the judge's actions have signs of raiding and illegal interference in economic activity, and have reported this to the higher qualifications commission, which must determine whether the judge will continue his career. instead, gorbasenko decided that the appeal of the shareholders to the vkk than. what else than interference in his activity, from pavlo gorbasenko's report on interference in the judge's activity. i consider it necessary to report the interference in my activity as a judge, regarding the administration of justice, as well as the manifestation of contempt of court. spamming the higher authorities, the prosecutor's office and the courts with complaints and lawsuits is commonplace for gorbasenko. in an odious oase, he challenged the negative conclusion of the public virtue council. then he tried to challenge the decision of the vkk itself in the supreme court. experts. the actions were considered as an attempt to evade the qualification assessment, the judge provided a notice to the opponent, or false

information in the qualification procedures and tried to avoid passing the qualification. pavlo gorbasenko was appointed a judge of the commercial court of the kyiv region by presidential decree in 2010 . i used family, friendly and other related careers, since 2007 , gurbasenko was married to... betrothal at the house of a person who at that time was a judge of the supreme court of ukraine and the head of the judicial chamber on the main case, as well as a member of the higher radio stations. at the end of zeros, gorbasenko, who worked as a legal consultant in a private firm, suddenly decided to change his activity and got a job at the commercial court of the kyiv region. just during the time when his then father-in-law valentin barbara was a member of the supreme council of justice. an interesting coincidence. in time working in the court, gorbasenko managed to get into several scandals and make a living with a considerable amount

of real estate. a housewife helped her mother earn property. the judge assures that it was his mother who gave him two apartments of 116 and 136 m2 in an elite district in kyiv. my mother gave me two apartments and a car. here are some of of the most expensive residential complexes in obolon with picturesque views of the dnipro. prices for apartments start at $100,000 for a simple one-room apartment, and the gorbasynky family has in fact, the entire floor, according to the yutrol service, the ownership of four apartments and three parking spaces in these elite buildings was also registered to gorbasenko's brother oleksiy. i wonder how much it cost? such a pleasure for herself , pavel gorbasenko's mother built a house of more than 800 m2 in the village of lebedivka near kyiv. next to the picturesque green forest on a huge in the private territory of more than half a hectare , there is a two-story building - a swimming pool altanka. where does the housewife's mother

get the money for such a big house and luxurious apartments in obolon. pavlo gorbasenko assures that all the money. the wealth of his father is a businessman, his father is a builder with many years of experience, and in addition to construction, he is engaged in various indirect activities. judge volodymyr gorbasenko's father runs his business in occupied crimea, so he obviously pays taxes to the terrorist state. we are not even surprised that the name father of the head of the economic court of the kyiv region, a peacekeeper appeared in the base. analysts, together with special services, discovered that in february-march 2022, the russian mobile phone number of volodymyr gorbasenko was recorded while roaming in the temporarily occupied territory of the kyiv region. it is likely that gorbasenko took part in the military aggression of the russian federation against ukraine - the peacekeeper notes. and when the kyiv region was liberated, he fled back to the crimea. and this is hanna svyredenko, a member of the kyiv city council

and the owner of a large amount of real estate, in particular in kyiv and the occupied crimea. according to the documents, she divorced for the second time from... pavel gorbasenko. the first time they allegedly broke up at the end of 2014. however , they remained in such a wonderful relationship that five days after the divorce they went to europe together. in 2017, they gave birth to a joint child, then traveled abroad dozens of times, even during the war. all this is too similar to the manipulation of the norms of the law, presumably precisely in order not to declare property. we broke up with her in the 14th year, and therefore i did not specify her in the future, but we continue our communication, two circumstances under which i have to declare it simply disappeared. in january 22, gorbasenko and sveredenko got married again, and last fall , they once again hastily decided to divorce, everything was arranged literally in a day. my ex-wife and i tried to file a separate

lawsuit to speed up the process. the divorce took place just before the event. fication evaluation of gorbasenko and the opening of the register of declarations, from which we learned that in 2023 he and anna another daughter was born to sveredenko, and this also indicates a close family relationship, which the couple once again decided to hide, presumably in order to manipulate the rules of the law when declaring property. the higher qualification commission of judges allowed gorbasenko to participate in the competition for a position in the northern commercial court of appeal, and he is currently preparing. before the next interview, the members of the vkks had already obviously prepared questions for him about unjust decisions with signs of raiding and about sky-high real estate and probably fictitious divorces, as well as connections with the father, who pays taxes in the occupied crimea and, according to the peacemaker, could be involved in the military aggression of the russian federation against ukraine. so, in order to justify himself, gorbasenko submitted several complaints to the high council of justice

and the prosecutor general's office about alleged interference in his judicial activity. vrp conducted an inspection and announced the decision last week. according to the results of checking the reports of the judge of the commercial court of the kyiv region gorbasenko, no facts of interference in their activities as judges, as well as actions that pose a threat to the independence of judges and the authority of justice, about which relevant conclusions have been drawn. all 14 members of the vrp present at the meeting voted for this decision and in fact admitted that gorbasenko had submitted what was known to be false. notification of interference in its activities. meanwhile, the higher qualification commission of judges should announce its decision regarding the judge in the near future. it depends on her whether gorbasenko will continue to sit in the judge's chair and whether he will be able to transfer to another court. we hope the commission members carefully will investigate his biography, professional competence, legality of decisions and compliance of lifestyle with official incomes

and make a fair decision regarding gorbasenko. today i have everything, it was court control and i am tatyana shustrova. tell us about the facts of corruption in the judicial system that you know. message me on facebook or at the email address you see on your screens. see you in exactly one week. good bye. greetings, friends, the politclub program is on the air on the espresso tv channel, vitaly is with you portnikov, two hours of conversation about the most important things. this week's trends, about the prospects that await us with our guests, experts, dmytro snigilov, military expert, co-leader of the public initiative on the law of the case

, we are in touch, well, let's start, mr. dmytro, with what is happening now with ukrainian attacks on russia, on the occupied territories, how important do you think is the destruction of russian ships, which continues to take place. here is what is known about tralshchik kovrovich, now there is information that there is allegedly one more a russian ship was destroyed in occupied sevastopol, how much do you think this undermines the capabilities of the black sea fleet? good evening, thank you for the invitation, let's talk about the fact that 35% of the black sea fleet, namely the vessels, have already been destroyed, accordingly, the russian occupiers are currently faced with the issue of redeploying the remains of the black sea fleet. from sevastopol to novorossiysk, and regarding the capabilities of the ukrainian side, it is worth quoting the message of the british ministry of defense, which says that

the ukrainian side has reduced to a historical level, namely, in almost 100 years, there has not been such a minimal activity of the black sea fleet in the water area, respectively, of the black sea fleet in the black sea water area, and this... call, this is an assessment of the events that are taking place, respectively, in novorossiysk and in the bays of sevastopol, moreover, let's talk about the fact that the destruction of another minesweeper is primarily not even a military, but a political informational defeat of the russian federation, it is said that the ukrainian side the next one proved that the so-called active defense, respectively, the bays of sevastopol and novorossiysk practically... does not prevent ukrainian naval drones from destroying vessels, and this is quite a serious challenge for the russian side, if we talk

about the current situation with russian oil refineries, but we know that another oil refinery stopped its work in the place of sloviansk in the kuban, they say that there are already 15, it seems to me, percent of the russian oil refinery. the ukraine sector in essence destroyed, do you think it affects the defense capability of the russian army, in general , the russian economy, and in what way? of course, let's talk about the fact that russia, as a country of the gas column, made a historic decision for itself to ban the import, export, i apologize, of gasoline and diesel fuel, and moreover, decisions were made to import gasoline from... the republic of belarus and kazakhstan for reduction of social tension in the russian federation. it is said that the strikes of ukrainian drones were detected more effective than all the economic

sanctions introduced against the occupier country since 2014, when the ukrainian crimea was occupied. in addition, let's talk about the fact that the prices of fuel and lubricants for the domestic consumer have already increased by 20-30%. this is for an estimate. bloomberg plus the russian federation was faced with the question of the fact that the income to the budget due to the decrease in the export of fuel and lubricants, which is the main item of income of the russian budget, will already undergo a corresponding adjustment at the time of financing in the first the turn of the military industry and needs for the army. i will remind you, currently the russian federation. brought the defense sector spending to a historical maximum of 6.7% of gdp, this suggests that

the russian economy will begin to stagnate in the near future, i will give a historical example, during the first world war, when the russian empire, and its economy was then considered one of the most dynamic in the world, increased. to the war at a level of more than 5%, all this led to social upheavals in the form of the february and october revolutions and the overthrow of the russian monarchy itself, currently it is said that defense spending is 6.7%. if we talk about the russian offensive in the kharkiv region, about the actual attempt to destroy vovchansk, as far as it is realistic. to advance the front in this direction? realistically, mr. vitaly, yes, but let's say that, in my opinion, the attack on kharkiv oblast is an element of military and political coercion of ukraine before

the start of the so-called peace talks. there are no real possibilities of an offensive deep into ukrainian territory, i will explain why: there are 50,000 groups of russian fighters concentrated near the borders with kharkiv region for comparison, at the time of active hostilities in the avdeivka region, russian troops concentrated 70,000 to 80,000 troops. the total area of ​​avdeivka is 29.3 km, the total area of ​​the city of kharkiv is more than 300 km, respectively. simple arithmetic shows that the 50-strong contingent, if even all of it will be used, is not enough, and to solve the issue of the operational encirclement of ukrainian troops in the kharkov area, or even more, the direct capture of kharkov itself, this all gives reason to say that the russian federation is trying in this way to prove and western partners to ukraine, or accordingly insist on conditions regarding

de facto. where yura is under the control of the russian federation, donbass, crimea and part of the kherson zaporizhzhya oblast, or the russian federation is following the path of escalating tensions in the kharkiv and sumy directions. do you think that this is exactly a compulsion to some kind of negotiations, and not an attempt to seize another ukrainian region and make a decision on its annexation? no, absolutely, coercion for peremon, and let's analyze the general political one. events that are happening on the background of the russian offensive. let me remind you that the offensive began on may 10, on may 15 the visit of the russian dictator to the prc, and from the 10th to the 15th quite resonant statements are heard. in particular , nuland did not give a clear answer to the question about the prospects of ukraine entering the borders of 1991, the czech president, peter pavel,

general. actually addressed the question of the return of ukraine from the captured territories, this is quite eloquent, and it is worth mentioning that against this background , statements were made by both the prc and the occupying country itself, that they are ready to of the negotiation process, but they must clearly understand security guarantees and with whom exactly to negotiate, that is, in fact, we are talking about informational and psychological operations, which... aim to show the illegitimacy of the ukrainian president, and the second, accordingly, to carry out a military-political pressure regarding the possibility of starting the so-called peace talks. but the version that you are presenting now requires some kind of coordination of the position of the west of russia. you don't think that the president of the czech republic is negotiating with the president of russia. absolutely, for what it's worth to speak, the president of the czech republic does not, in my opinion, express the thoughts of the president

of the czech republic directly. czech republic a nato country, and accordingly similar statements at the highest official level, in my opinion, they are the product of coordinated statements. moreover, let's talk, the position of france is quite eloquent when, accordingly , russia was invited to the anniversary of the landing in normandy, which caused a certain dissatisfaction of the united states. let me remind you, french diplomats were present at putin's inauguration, despite borel's warning about their inadvisability. similar actions from the european side diplomats, that is, at least three european partners are playing against ukraine, respectively. please tell me, in principle, to what extent it can be considered that russia is really now embarking on some kind of conflict freeze streak, why should putin need it now, when he does not

expect offensive actions of the ukrainian armed forces. mr. vitaliy, i have already said that the spending of the russian budget has reached an all-time high of about 7%, which is catastrophic for the russian economy, especially if we take into account the expansion the nature of the economic sanctions from the west, and accordingly the strikes of the ukrainian uav on the oil refining industry of the russian federation, that is, there is a question about the possibility of the continuation of the war of the russian federation. the so-called institute for the study of war comes out and says that the russian federation is currently planning the nature of a protracted war, based on which the nature of the analysis is similar: any war lives at the expense of the economy, the economy is the oxygen of war, its blood, and accordingly, if not there is enough funding to meet the needs of the pmc and according to the army, then...
