enrichment or connections with the russians that the detectives were looking for in lyudmila kropyvna's house? what were they looking for when there was no search, and according to what scheme did the servant of themis get an apartment for her parents in kyiv? father and mother lived like this in ternopil. greetings, this is judicial control and i am tetyana shustrova. during all the years of independence, the judicial system of ukraine has repeatedly undergone changes. this year, despite the full-scale war, the judicial reform gained considerable momentum. but while the judicial corps is being renewed, representatives of its old guard are still caught up in corruption scandals and undermine the authority of justice. today we will tell you about another unscrupulous servant of themis. the national anti-corruption bureau of ukraine has opened criminal proceedings regarding the alleged illegal enrichment of the maid of honor themis. this is lyudmila kropyvna, a judge of the northern commercial court of appeal. in april

, nabu conducted investigative actions in her elite house near kyiv, as a result of which kropyvna complained to the supreme council of justice and the prosecutor general's office. the judge assures that the detectives have carried out an inspection and they seized her mobile phone and tablet, for which they allegedly did not have a decision, because the higher anti-corruption court approved only an inspection of the house as part of the criminal proceedings. to learn more about this case, we've reached out to naboo with an information request. from the answer of the national anti-corruption agency. bureau of ukraine. premature and uncontrolled disclosure of information of a pretrial investigation can not only affect its course, interfere with the completeness and objectivity of establishing the circumstances of a criminal offense, but also cause damage to the interests of the victim, the suspect and other participants in the criminal proceedings. given the above, it is currently not possible to provide the requested information. so the journalists of judicial control decided to independently find out what they suspected. judge

kropyvna, and how she could violate anti-corruption legislation. we are in the suburbs of kyiv, elite kozyna, a cottage town closed from prying eyes, luxury, privacy and security. here there is everything for a comfortable life, a picturesque area, a protected area, luxury restaurants, shops, sports complexes, private educational institutions and famous neighbors. we have poroshenko there, who did not leave, lives here. this is the peninsula on the other side of it a little further klitschko, this is here, if you drive a little further, there the plot is sloped, yes, that is, we have a semi-sovereign council here and until, at the end of 2021 , lyudmila kropyvna also bought a large estate here. behind this endless fence drowning in greenery, 20 acres of precious land and a building of 260 square meters. everything is under close supervision, there is a checkpoint at the entrance to the town, cameras everywhere.

in addition, the police and the state security department drive through the streets, it will not be possible to get here just like that, but we managed. this is vadym, a specialist in the sale of housing, and right now he is selling the house of ludmila kropyvna's neighbors. they live literally across the fence. the realtor not only praises the place, but also explains: it will not be possible to live here cheaply. the price of the question is now at the height of the war, when real estate in ukraine has fallen in price from uah 20 million. this is the best location. i'm in real estate. 12 years, and i understand that here were always the most expensive houses. on the neighboring property nettle. in addition to the residential building, there is a gazebo, an outbuilding, a swimming pool and other elite things. a private lake and a pond are nearby. at the end of 2021 , the estate was being sold for $1 million on various real estate sites. it was then that kropivna bought it. however, in his declaration, the judge assures that she bought housing and land for a little more than... 8 million hryvnias, almost

four times cheaper. please note that by law, state officials, including judges, are not entitled to receive individual discounts, except for those provided to everyone. so, if a judge buys something at below -market prices, it can be considered an improper reward or, in simple terms, a bribe. data from kropyvna's declaration may also indicate an attempt to hide the real value of the house, so as not to explain the dubious origin of the funds for its purchase. because from where? a virtuous judge a million dollars. the realtor confirms that when paying in cash , any amount can be entered in the contract. if, for example, a lower price is slightly indicated in the contract, it depends on your calculation. if the settlement is in cash, most likely so it will be, of course it is. the purchase of this estate strangely coincides in time with the period when judge kropyvna began to consider the case regarding the alienation of the shares of the poltava mining and beneficiation plant from an international company. already in september 2022

, the board of judges of pags, chaired by kropivna , gave away more than 40% of the shares by its resolution, which was later recognized as illegal. gzk to four offshore companies. these firms were part of the russian group vs energy and, according to media, are connected to oligarch igor kolomoisky, as well as his russian companions the current deputy chairman of the russian state duma, oleksandr babakov, and the president of the central sports club of the russian army, yevhen giner. the ukrainian state bureau of investigation directly called them the leaders of the luzhniki organized crime group. so, almost in the midst of a full-scale war between russia and ukraine. kropivna gives half of poltava gzk shares worth 1 billion 300 million dollars to russian raiders at the appeal stage. is it just like that, honestly and thank you. these are very important courts, appeals - this is the level after which the decision gains legal force and is implemented,

that is, it is very, let's say, corruption risks here are increased. it can be assumed that corruption may take place here, because by what other miracle the judge suddenly became the owner of an elite estate. and the russians, coincidentally, seized control of one of the most powerful ukrainian enterprises, since kropivna most likely could not explain the purchase of the house in kozyna with official income, as well as declare the alleged bribe. in her income statement, she had to indicate that she borrowed part of the funds. according to the information of the public organization, the office of purification of the judicial system, money for the purchase of real estate was given to the judge by a certain viktor b. everything points to what may be going on. about viktor barsuk. according to zmi, he is one of the lawyers who worked in the office of igor kolomoiskyi. viktor barsuk's wife, maryna barsuk, is also a judge of the northern commercial court of appeal and, according to our sources, a friend of ludmila kropyvna. together, they often consider cases in the same

panel of judges, in particular, those related to business kolomoiskyi. marina barsuk also attends private events with the participation of kolomoiskyi and does not see any conflict of interest. ukrainian journalists. in the fall of 2021, pravda recorded a ukrainian oligarch and the barsuk family celebrating the birthday of sanctioned russian businessman pavel fuchs. meanwhile, according to kropyvna's declaration for the year 2021, part of the money for the purchase of the house, namely 5 million 800 thousand uah, was loaned to her by a completely different person, a certain gavrilyuk nataliya georgiv. we learned that nataliya gavryliuk is the ex-wife of a state official the traitor and godfather of putin, viktor medvedchuk, the mother of his eldest daughter iryna. natalia gavrilyuk's son-in-law andriy ryumin, ceo of one of russia's largest energy companies, rosseti. the holding's capacities

ensure the transmission of 80% of the electricity produced by the aggressor state. the controlling shareholder of the holding is the russian federation. ryumin himself regularly meets with putin. whereas the rossettis, according to zmi , have long-term partnerships with companies related to persons who control vs energy. it should be noted that medvedchuk's current wife, oksana marchenko , had shares in ukrainian regional energy, logistics and metallurgical enterprises, the co-owners of which were, in particular, privat group and russians from vs energy. criminal authority mykhailo vo and his partners, state duma vice-speaker oleksandr babakov and owner of the cska football club yevgeny giner, who, thanks to the decision of judge kropyvna, tried to take over the shares of poltava gzk. all the russians we mentioned support armed aggression against ukraine, are

under sanctions and declared wanted, and they are somehow related to putin's best man. so it was probably on their behalf that the ex-wife medved transferred the money for the house of judge kropyvnya. we called ms. havryliuk to find out more about the so-called loan and the progress of the criminal proceedings involving lyudmila kropyvna. hello, i greet you, this is nataliya georgiivna, i am a journalist of the tv channel, we have several questions for you regarding lyudmila kropyvna, in particular, about the story with the loan of 5 million hryvnias. a witness in the case of kropyvna and her house in kozen? there are no witnesses there is no it is interesting that according to the documents that are at the disposal of the office of clearing the judicial system, kropivna paid the funds to the seller of the house in advance, even before the conclusion of the contract of sale. instead, for some reason,

they decided to sign the contract itself in the premises of a private bank on kovpaka street in kyiv. public activists suggest that this was done in order not to drive around town with a million dollars. cash, be that as it may, doubts about the so-called loan, as well as the legality of the origin of the judge's wealth for the purchase of elite real estate near kyiv, appear quite justified, especially since... 10 years ago kropyvna allegedly had no place to live at all and needed an official apartment in kyiv. kropivna moved to the kyiv commercial appeal court, which was later reformed into the northern commercial court, from ternopil, where she worked with a judge in the regional commercial court. in this building on the dniprovska embankment in kyiv , she received a 129- square-meter apartment from the state. m, which was later successfully privatized according to the standard scheme of expropriation of state

housing into private ownership. they are privatizing then this is housing, which is a scheme that is actually a robbery of taxpayers and other citizens of ukraine. for the provision of public housing to civil servants, the law provides for strict standards - 21 m2 per person and 10 additional meters per family, i.e. together with her adult son, kropivna could apply for an apartment with a maximum area of ​​52 m, but instead she received 2.5 times more. in order to increase the housing area, which was to be paid for with taxpayers' money , the judge had to organize a scheme to involve retired parents who actually lived in ternopil and had real estate there. so, in one moment in december 2014, lyudmila kropyvna, her father volodymyr, mother tetyana and son artur became the owners of a 129 m2 state apartment. everyone left. 25%, they say, look, we have a family of 10 people, we very much need to improve living conditions, they are counted by

, respectively, multiplied by the number of family members, and it often turns out that it is not there not at all exactly 21 m2, well, even more is much more, and they get appropriate housing from the state, which is then privatized, however in the history of lyudmila kropyvna does not match the math, because even after registering all the family members who did not actually live there and did not need housing, the judge could receive no more than 110 km from the state for free, she received 129. we are going to ternopil to see where the parents lived krypovna before moving to a new apartment in the capital, and as it turned out, they did not get the square meters that the judge received for them. according to the neighbors, the pensioners did not move anywhere, only the father after the death of the mother and after several years after the nettle registered real estate for them in the amount of one hundred. when she moved to kyiv and her daughter,

did her parents live here in ternopil for a longer period of time or did they live in kyiv as well, did she take them to her home in kyiv, and even until her death, even before their death, she did not take them, they lived alone, they lived here purely in ternopil, father and mother lived in ternopil, data from the register of court decisions indicate that the judge's father actually lived in ternopil. in 2019-20... the communal enterprise ternopil-vodokanal sued him regarding debt collection from payment of housing and communal services. when her parents died, lyudmila kropyvna inherited two apartments in the center of ternopil, a four-room apartment of 83 square meters and a one-room apartment of 38 square meters. which one, according to the neighbors, is she renting? here is the first one. we don't know her, i almost never saw her, my mother is late, i knew her. do you know the owners of the apartment? no, i don't know, the owner is a bugger, she. lives in kyiv, and occupied this apartment. the adventure in which our film crew got into with

the resident of the second apartment of judge kropyvna, the tenant, became known throughout the country. the tenant attacked our journalist and stole her mobile phone. yes, they are, this is an apartment here, but they are in the next one. are they in the house next door? and don't they live here? no, they don't live, we are just theirs, i come from here. are you a tenant? so. and... the tenant locked himself with our journalist's phone and came out only when our film crew called the police, after which the tenant began to threaten our colleagues with physical violence. i'm sorry, give me the phone, i came in, no, come to us, come on, you come out to us, you come out to us, i'm the camera, delete it. such a violent reaction of the lodger of kropyvna can be explained,

because it is possible that the judge rents the apartment without an official contract, does not pay taxes and does not indicate this source of income in his declaration. if this is so, then it turns out that the servant of themis breaks the law herself. if a judge rents out housing, then if any citizen receives income, this income must be declared, especially if it is a public service. there is a declaration that provides for receiving even a very small one income, any discounts, any preferences, any winnings, they should still be reflected there in the electronic declaration. ternopil police violated. criminal proceedings on the facts of obstructing journalistic activities and theft of a phone, then closed it, and by the court's decision started it again: the culprit, who rents the apartment of an influential judge in the capital , has not yet been brought to justice.

we visited the northern commercial court of appeal to talk to ludmila kropyvna about her property. and tell me please, how did you manage to buy the house you have in kozyna for less than a million dollars, although its price was a million, you bought it for less than a million, well , we have information, you have information, you bought it in the declaration indicated for 5 million, so what is indicated. with a fantastic discount for elite real estate, at least four times cheaper than the market value, and even if you believe in this miracle, the funds with which the house of extremely dubious origin was purchased were borrowed either from medvedchuk's ex-wife or from the lawyer in the case, which was considered by the judge, about the multibillion-dollar assets of the poltava gzk. i am not obliged

to say who lent you the money. ugh. and if an additional source was indicated in the declaration. in the course of renting ternopil apartments, it is possible to invent a loan, it would not be necessary, here you are giving two apartments, and why do not you declare the income from the rental of the apartment, we had journalists and you had tenants there, they were not tenants, do not even comment here nothing, the ternopil story of the theft of a phone by a judge's tenant very eloquent, the man himself admitted that he rents housing when our film crew visited him, and while the case with the attack on journalists is still being investigated, lyudmila kropyvna is already in another proceeding apparently trying to explain to the investigators the origin of the funds for the purchase of the house, which was sold for 1 million dollars and which nabu is already interested in, and also writes complaints about the actions of detectives to the supreme council of justice and the prosecutor general. meanwhile , kropyvna's attention has so far been ignored by the zk, which should have asked about the income from providing

property lease, the sbu regarding relations with the russians, as well as the sbu, because the apartment in kyiv is almost 130. square meters, she got it in an apparently suspicious way from the point of view of the law, and by involving in the scheme retired parents who actually lived in ternopil and had real estate owned. lyudmila kropyvnia will be 65 years old next year and will have to retire. this means that you and i will continue to retain the servant of themis, to whom there are valid questions about the likely illegal enrichment. nettle will retain judicial immunity. and its size pension can reach uah 2,000 per month. every year , hundreds of judges receive life support from the state, and not only those who have honestly performed their work and maintained a crystal-clear reputation. for today, i have everything, it was a judicial control and i am tetyana shustrova.

look at the news. good health, ladies and gentlemen, my name is mykola veresen. sharp presentation of facts and competent opinions. and in america they also say, let's make better roads, we will have even better ones. a special look at events in ukraine and beyond. all this in an information marathon with mykola veresny saturday 17:10, sunday 18:15 at espresso. 10 years of war, 10 years of ukrainian tempering nation espresso tv channel prepared a documentary. about the key events of our history and extraordinary people who directly influenced its course. it is here that a ten-year history is documented, from

the maidan to the present day to the full-scale invasion. there are many documentary films, but there has not been such a clear, specific chronology of this particular period, well, so far. everyone will see in this film what he understands or wants. understand, and everyone will see something different, it was important to me in the context of ee with a little reduced attention of the western audience to show what is actually happening in ukraine, what happened in ukraine, why it is happening in ukraine, and especially in the context of counter-propaganda against russian information aggression. voices of a ten-year history on film. became prominent ukrainians, journalist and activist tetyana chornovol, founder of the tyra ambulance volunteer corps, writer svitlana

povalyaeva and her son, fallen hero of ukraine, activist roman ratushny. all three named characters of this film, i.e. tyra, tatyana chornovol and roman, they are undoubtedly heroes. there is no doubt that they are those people who gave the best for their tribe, and the novel also gave their life. the film tells about triumphs and defeats, challenges and victories, achievements and transformations that happened to each of us during these 10 years. there are all the events, starting from the maidan and ending with the current state of the war, and the main life of these three people. one of them, the real heroes of ukraine, on the one hand, he is so historical, simply retelling the events, and on the other hand, he is very

emotional, because these... events told through people's lives, i think that is the key to understanding. work on the preparation of such a large-scale documentary work lasted almost a year. in the end, the film will be released in two versions, in ukrainian and in english, because, as the creators emphasize, the main goal is to reach the foreign audience and show the way ukraine and ukrainians have come during this decade. the more it will be. the main thing is that there is an author's point of view, that people see the war as a tragedy, that they see people in the war, and this is very important for the future. the director, author, screenplay and producer of the film was the american director of slovak origin oleg garenchar.

"espres" tv channel tape. jointly with the public organization all-ukrainian democratic forum, with the support of usaid , implemented a media program in ukraine, which is implemented by the international organization internews and the zmi development fund of the us embassy in ukraine. for us, it will be the film memories, that is, when we watch these shots, we will think where exactly i was, at what corner i was standing on the same square when the riots took place, or when the boys were shot. therefore, for us, these are memories, but we did it not to remind ukrainians of these 10 years, we did it to show this history and these stories to all ordinary citizens. the tape lasts for two hours and covers not only the stories of the heroes, but also the history of the formation of the state, without eu visas, the creation of the ocu, the adoption of the law on language. the first viewers of the tape share

their impressions, the most. archive footage, never seen before, impressed. i, as i live in the middle of these events as a citizen ukraine, to say something so new, i discovered something for myself, i was impressed by something, but i was very touched by the completely unknown, never -before-seen footage with roman myravsh. when he began to remember his whole life, and especially the year before the war. to be honest, i got goosebumps, i sat, watched, i looked at all the beautiful people, at tyra, at svitlana paevska, at definitely the footage of the chronicle of roman ratushny, and i realized that it has been 10 years already, part of these events i experienced in the same crimea, on the one hand it is almost two long hours, and on the other hand , the timing is in one breath, our main task is to remember and never allow a repetition,

the documentary film... 10 years of the war is planned to be presented at the cinema, at film festivals and, of course, on the air of the espresso tv channel. and there are several more exclusive shows ahead.
