we went through all the compliance and became their official suppliers, and we are quite seriously expanding cooperation now, right now i am leaving from negotiations and we think that in the near future, if we have something to open and show, then we will say about this cooperation , the deal defense company, i will tell the listeners a little, sergey, i understand... what you know, but the del defense company supplies irst systems, which are very effective here in ukraine, everything else the company will supply, it has a lot of interesting things , we agreed on cooperation and assistance in training, other systems, about the supply of some type of weapons and not only weapons, but also defense for ukraine, i think that this official... information, it will be proven at the

necessary time, and we will tell you how we we are organizing cooperation, this is a difficult story, many companies want to organize cooperation with ukrainian companies that have practical experience in the use of weapons, practical experience in training soldiers. on the front line, and therefore i think that this kind of cooperation, which will be supported by the ukrainian and german governments, it will lead to future successes and a technological breakthrough in that equipment, which is now in some places not ready, i would say that most of the western equipment is not ready for this war, so with our help we can make this equipment better, and with their help protect.. .our country, and what will this

cooperation require from your team, what transformation, what new competencies, will you have to select people, will you have to train them, retrain them, how will it be? unequivocally, this is a change of the self approach to military business, to supplies, to service, to support of products that are supplied, to the front lines, whether they will protect ukrainian cities there or energy facilities or other critical infrastructure facilities, i.e. the cooperation itself is to make it is by western standards, it is already a very serious challenge, and we are very closely discussing every detail of cooperation, every one, we are talking to those people who

have been working there for 20... 30 years, companies that have a very serious experience of supplying serious equipment, so we very carefully select the opportunities that we can provide, accordingly, we very carefully select those people who can cooperate with western companies of this type, and who can make a serious contribution to ... the improvement of those weapons that are made on western standards, and which can help ukraine defend itself. mr. valery, thank you very much for the inclusion, for and greetings, i congratulate you on such a historic first important step, because it is really when a ukrainian private company will cooperate with a powerful by the german giant diehl, which is the manufacturer.

air defense system and not only in this area, it means that the competence of our defense industrial companies is such that these alliances have already become possible in such difficult conditions when ukraine is defending itself against russian aggression. these were the main military results of this day, then the broadcast will be continued by vasyl zima, so stay tuned to the espresso channel. i thank the dear zakrat, thank his guest, and i wish success in cooperation with the german giant to the ukrainian manufacturer weapons, it is very important that we reach the world level, we actually were at the world level, but now in different configurations, so to speak, in different positions on weapons, we are reaching the world, world level, i will remind you once again that today our national team has to decide about her future on... whether she will leave it after

today's match against belgium or whether she will move on, in any case we will not be able to help the rebrov national team in any practical way, but we can definitely help our military who... they defend ukraine every day, they beat the enemy, protect our lives with you and win back the ukrainian territory at the front, and i ask you to contribute to the collection for the repair of heavy armored vehicles in the combat zone. we are talking about the soledar and zaporizhzhia directions. the repair and recovery regiment works mainly on the contact line or in the so-called gray zone, in the open air in any weather day and night, so for the emergency recovery and return to the battlefield of damaged military equipment, in particular, we are talking about tanks. infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, a minibus is needed, which will deliver to the war zone, mobile, repair teams and equipment, as well as pneumohydraulic jacks for the prompt repair of foreign equipment, i want to say that you and i are moving towards our goal, our goal, i remind you, is to close this collection

this week , and we have every chance to do it, we were able to collect, during the big broadcast, we collected with you in two days, now, so that i don't... don't deceive you, 4,000 uah, in general , my colleagues also joined in, we collected even more , as of now we have 563,778 uah, in fact we have 67 uah left to collect, i i think that if just now everyone, everyone who can contribute, even 100 hryvnias, we will be able, we will be able to close this collection, let's achieve our goal. this week the allocated finally needed the funds to buy a minibus. now the plot is for your attention: beatings, abuse and even torture by electric current, unfortunately, ukrainians are well aware that it is russia that is capable of such inhuman horrors. but will it ever be possible to find and punish the guilty, because there are actually

many of them, from those who give orders to those who carry them out. to the international day of support victims of torture, we tried to find out who and how can be brought to... responsibility for such evil crimes, details in our story. no one can be subjected to torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, article 28 of the constitution of ukraine. every year on june 26, the entire civilized world unites in support of people who have become victims of torture and those who are being tortured today, despite the absolute prohibition of torture under international law, russia continues to disregard both generally accepted conventions and universal principles. first on the crimean peninsula, then on the territories of donetsk and luhansk regions, and later

in other regions of ukraine. the russian federation began to kidnap and torture people, and almost immediately it turned into a system. it is about its purposefulness. er, the methods are the same and they are also re-honed, which suggests that they are applied not just by someone there who exceeds the powers of the type of excess executive, systematically, it cannot be said that the high russian leadership, there the governors, as representatives of the executive authorities, or at the federal level, they are not involved. it is almost impossible to find the culprits, that is, directly the torturers, but here... the so-called principle of responsibility of commanders and civilian superiors comes into force, not only those who abused, but also those who gave criminal orders will be held accountable, because torture is one of the most serious violations of rights person, and may well be considered

both a war crime and a crime against humanity, they can be prosecuted, including as crimes against humanity, just as serious but... they are, let's say, the result of large-scale and systematic, or government policy, they are more difficult to prove, they are more serious, even if they are not crimes, they are definitely war crimes. at the state level, victims of torture can turn to law enforcement agencies and public organizations, but with the search for justice at the international level, everything is a little more complicated, since russia was expelled from the council of europe for new statements regarding... ref cannot be considered in the european court of human rights, however, you can turn to the un human rights committee or to the relevant committees against torture. this body is functioning, russia has not withdrawn from the additional protocol, the faculty, well

, the optional protocol, which gives this quasi-judicial body the authority, and accordingly it can issue judgments, judgments against the russian federation, they... must be implemented, while the european court no longer has the authority, there is no jurisdiction at the moment, but he continues to consider old cases, regarding such... crimes, ukraine cooperates with the international criminal court. currently, the office of the prosecutor general has registered more than 450 criminal proceedings for ill-treatment and torture of prisoners of war and over 2,100 for torture of civilians. but we are aware that the full figures are much higher, because thousands of our compatriots are still being held in the temporarily occupied territories and in the territory of the aggres country. ukrainian prosecutors and investigators discovered more than 160 torture chambers and places of detention where the enemy kept and tortured our

people, and tortured during the temporary occupation. in general, for brutal treatment of civilians on the 12th, 265 persons were notified of suspicion for crimes against ukrainian prisoners of war, and 73 war criminals have already received sentences for torture and ill-treatment of civilians. in particular , on january 3 this year , denys kulikovskyi, the chief executioner of isolation, was sentenced to 15 years. as of june 2024 , more than 3,800 civilians and more than 2,200 prisoners of war have been recognized as victims of torture and inhumane treatment in ukraine. however, such numbers are far from reality. russia tortures thousands of ukrainians every day. while all the world will consider and for. the russian federation will judge and act further. so,

today is the international day of support for victims of torture. we will talk about it with our guest, oleksandr pavrichenko joins us, he is the executive director of the ukrainian geltsin union for human rights. i congratulate you. congratulations. i don't know if you 've seen the story we just showed our viewers, but it's huge anyway. problem. russia does what it wants to do with the military, with civilians, and with the occupied territories and in captivity. actually, ukraine claims about 1,400 cases of torture in russian captivity. all those interviewed after their release from captivity declared that they had been tortured, reports the united nations. let us first try to outline the scale of these tortures, the nature of these tortures. and again, is there anything different when we talk about military prisoners than when we talk about civilians. again in captivity or in occupied territories, so look, really

the question of application is what is called torture or torture, because different terminology, but in essence it is the same phenomenon, legally defined in terms of the european convention on human rights, it is torture, torture is a un term that is used, but it does not affect the essence of the matter, really factually ... all, who are in captivity, prisoners of war, ukrainians are subjected to systematic torture, and when we talk about what kinds of torture and what kind of torture is it, are even the same types of gender-based violence used, that is, with signs of sexual violence, molestation, or there are other forms of sexual violence, this is also an issue, and indeed it takes place. this is a constant, say , threat of rape, for example, or

even the very facts of rape, the use of various types is constant on a constant basis of physical influence, that is, beating, this is recorded in almost every case when interviewing those who came out of captivity, and there are several of them types of violence used, first of all... physical violence is violence with the use of force or the use of various means such as for example, during interrogations or simply during the application of torture , electric current is used, electric shocks, some means of suffocation and so on, that is, here we can have a full spectrum when it comes to collecting it in a pile, but in reality it is necessary. to talk about the fact that it is first of all difficult to establish direct

executors, because they are all hiding behind the fact that they are wearing masks, there is no personal data, and here the responsibility can be established at the command level for applying such a practice, and i can immediately say what a positive there is information this year, the international criminal court in detail focuses on the conditions of detention in the context of war, that is, we know that the first two cases that were opened with arrest warrants. this is actually the case of the deportation of ukrainian children, the first case, where putin is in lviv, maria lviv is doing business, the second case is the shelling of energy and civil infrastructure, we have four arrest warrants, and now this year there is a special emphasis, well, actually attention is made under the conditions of detention of ukrainian prisoners of war and

civilians who are behind bars because of the armed conflict and the use of all kinds against them. mistreatment, in addition to what i said, these types of, let's say, physical, physical violence is also applied and, let's say, that, that, what is called improper conditions of detention, that is, it's either being in cold conditions, or on the contrary, overcrowded cells, where there is no air, there is light, high temperature heats up, this is also not providing medical care to those who need it, and actually, in fact, moral torture because of it, leading to suicide, there are such cases, because we record during the questioning of those who come out of captivity such answers that some were even present at

attempts to commit suicide or even at the commission of suicide, that is... i will clarify, you listed different methods used by the non-human enemy, and does he use, is there any evidence or facts that the enemy uses chemicals in order to bring people to a certain state, well, this is also such a known practice, especially for the fsb, when people are broken, or something else with it will be done precisely with the use of injections of certain chemicals, well, for which a person is not prepared, and perhaps even prepared in principle, the operation cannot, because it is, well, it is chemistry. look, we are not interrogating a large number or surveying, i would say, rather a large number of those who have come out of captivity, according to the testimony of those military men who were ex- military prisoners of war, they were subjected to such, well, brutal methods of physical influence

without, let's say, what you're saying, the use of chemical... substances because of what they did not make any special displays, there, for example, they were, well, let's say, ordinary, mediocre soldiers who did not have any additional information that they wanted , let's say, to get from them, the main desire of the occupiers is to break the will, that is, to transform a person on such, you know, an irresistible element, which will simply be absolutely completely obedient, and will not fail, well , a broken person will be, he must be broken both physically, and morally, and spiritually, and because of this he applies, well, in fact, daily, several times beating, it's like practice, and today we know that just a few weeks ago there was, let's say, a riot in the russian pre-trial

detention center in the city of rostov-on-don, where there was a seizure of... lieutenants from that number of administrative personnel and, apparently, those who committed this act, there were murders, but during the storming by that sobr, or whoever, they already have some special units that, let's say, stormed this pre-trial detention center in rostov, so on the pre-trial detention center in rostovina, let me remind you that they are taken there and stay there ukrainian prisoners of war from the same azov regiment, from the regiment... aidar and her apply to them this practice of deliberately beating convoys, thank you very much, unfortunately we have run out of time, i would have listened further, but unfortunately, time constraints , thank you very much for joining, thank you for your work and for giving us these comments. oleksandr pavlichenko, executive

director of the ukrainian, hertsinsk union for human rights, i am still on a positive note, although here... there is no positive, but yesterday it was possible to return another 90 military personnel forces of ukraine from polon, in particular , defenders of mariupol, chornobyl nuclear power plant, teroboroniv and border guards came home, well, we saw this video, now you see it, the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi, the head of the president's office andriy yarmak and the shoemaker dmetro lubinets were informed about it. we understand that it is not an easy task to return prisoners of war, but fortunately everything was successful and our citizens, soldiers. returned home from captivity, and now we will talk about corruption, martyna is with us bogoslavets, one second. she is the head of the mezh anti-corruption center, ms. martyna, i greet you, good, good evening, good evening, mr. vasya, i will start with a phrase that

is worth discussing, and then we will move to, as they say, from the general to the specific. andriy yermak, the head of the president's office, said that corruption exists everywhere, well, in principle, i would agree with him to some extent, the issue is only in terms of scale, and ukraine is not the most corrupt country in the world. i'll quote, but some people deliberately escalate the problem, because otherwise they can lose, lose the meaning of their work, thus helping the russians who invest millions in promoting the narrative in the west that ukraine is the most corrupt country, please comment on this statement, and then we will move on to the post of yuri nikolov, this is a journalist who investigated the story with eggs on 17 hryvnia, he found a new story there, which shows that everything is not so good here, please, mr. vasyl, the first od... in two moments: first: yirmak is right that ukraine is not the most corrupt country in the world, but this the only thing where he is right, because the second, i really like

it is frightening that now we are not hearing such a narrative from the office of the president, from the government, it happened recently at official panels in berlin at a conference. from which i just returned, where the top ukrainian officials openly answered questions from the hall, questions from the german side, questions from internationals, that the fight against measles, the fight against corruption in ukraine is russian propaganda, that is , at one of the events, which generally preceded the official urc conference in berlin in monday, which was organized by kshe, minister of economy, to questions from the hall. how does the government plan to fight corruption in general, we help a lot of the country, what is your status in the fight against corruption, ms. sverodenko answered: "it's all russian propaganda, which was met with

dissatisfaction, boos from the hall and some laughter from the hall, and that's why it's really scary , because this is already such a general technique, a general tendency to name all people who work in the civil sector in investigations and..." work in the field of anti of anti-corruption, that they work for the sake of russian propaganda, and they say that corruption has been completely defeated in ukraine, and this is all russian propaganda. this is possible, you know, even when irmak writes about it on twitter or writes in his social networks, he can subjectively write anything, we live in a democratic country, but when exactly such a narrative is heard from official panels, from international panels where all smart people sit, old people who have... eyes that can read and read exactly the western press about the latest scandals, it is very touching on a large number of questions. moreover, i will tell you that uh, we like

to communicate in the language of cases, in the language of specific stories, and that is why recently, even our own investigation into the withdrawal of a large amount of funds for construction, for the reconstruction of the actual fortification, so in kharkiv oblast, where for... it is unclear, to unclear companies that were created, literally tens of millions of hryvnias were withdrawn for several days for the purchase of forest for such fortifications, we understand that such contracts were signed the management, the management of the regional military administration, which in particular is obvious that the management is appointed from the president's office, and we learned that literally a week ago , contracts were signed with these same companies again, here is the result. reactions to the investigation, reactions to the work of anti-corruption public activists who work, as yermak says, for the sake

of russian propaganda, of course, or a case, for example, the godfather of the same mr. yermak, case tyshchenko, well, but i will say right away that mr. yermak, he said that he is with them, he does not maintain any relationship with him now, i am just saying this before the statement so that we understand that, as of now, he says that i do not have a relationship with tyschenko. of course, he does not have a relationship with him now, because in order to not have a relationship with him anymore, excuse me, it is necessary that the security guards beat a military man in front of this country on dnipro street, but even then it is clear that already when this sees, the whole country becomes a witness, then already mr. yarmak has no relationship with the best man, and when we talked, they actually beat thresholds, wrote publications about the fact that... friends, kyiv developers, mr. tyshchenko, are destroying reconstruction in transcarpathia, rebuilding social infrastructure facilities where the cost is four times higher. or

the prices of construction materials, again , just yesterday, our publication on ukrainian pravda literally came out, where such companies earned uah 21 million on the purchase of construction materials for the construction of one single, only small school in smt in transcarpathia, of course, not yet we have another topic, i am in any case nevertheless, i believe that we have, well, i don't believe, but i know that we have certain bodies that are supposed to deal with this, here the question is, in particular, to... and to their freedom of action within the limits of their powers and courage to work within the limits of his powers, despite calls from someone, because i don't know who can, i don't know, but again, let them work, you journalists, investigators work, mr. nikolov also works, in particular, he tells such a story, we have four minutes, but we will discuss it, because this is a very important case, and this is exactly the story that it is casts a stain on the investment attractiveness of ukraine, we want investments in ukraine now, so there is such an international

company, an international... hegemon, msc, which controls 20% of sea container transportation in the world, they wanted to launch container transportation between turkey and odesa, announced the first res, but took it and canceled it, and reported to the association of international freight forwarders that the reason was groundless checks of cargo and delays in customs clearance of export containers, in any case it is said that there is this is the scheme, we delay as much as possible, and then we just start talking to the business, that's what they say, and when... the amount of redemption to start working becomes less than your losses for demurrage and storage of this cargo, you just solve this issue, well, this is such a forced - forced non-forced bribe, please explain what it is and how to deal with it, how to solve this story, because it is a stain on business, on investments and on the attractiveness of ukraine? i have a feeling that the anti-corruption activists whom yarmak calls... work for

agree to russian propaganda, as if we colluded, because this morning this letter appeared from the association of employers of chernihiv region, who are talking about the same thing only at tenders in chernihiv region, where the department of the state audit service of ukraine in chernihiv actually demands a rollback of several percent, or there will be tenders for... this is the same thing, by the way, about which only the pro-sea ports of nikolov are talking about, or or or otherwise, if this is not done, that is, all the tenders that you won, as firms, so as to go into reconstruction, then such tenders will be blocked and such procurements will be blocked by the state auditing service, in particular by the management in chernihiv region, the same applies to ports, for example, so what nikolav says, i.e. the rollback form, it is obvious that it cannot be

officially recorded somewhere. there are many such cases in the courts, we just literally have a minute, but i didn’t say how many such cases are quite loud in the courts, i’m not talking about some, well, petty corruption should be in the courts, and you even appropriated 100,000 uah somewhere there there should also be a trial well, no one steals in the state, especially during the war, there is none at all, but are there any cases in the courts and the cases are ongoing, not closed, not put on hold, serious corruption cases are ongoing. it is obvious that the higher anti-corruption court is finally working, and a large number of such cases are being investigated, however, now all cases are like this, they concern specific top officials, for example, they concern judges, they concern claims for unlawful when they demanded bribes, yes, when for example, we know that suspicion recently they announced that the mayor mukacheva was in favor of allocating land plots, that is, these are all cases, they mostly concern

officials very often. who often demanded undue benefits, or, for example, created such schemes, which nikolov is talking about, specifically about sea ports, i do not know about such cases, but about cases related to construction, cases that are actually under reconstruction such and such inflated prices, yes, they were fixed in procurement systems or such rollback systems were created, then of course, that there are such courts and there are such cases, it is also necessary to understand that the verdict. in the anti-corruption court, again, this is , for example, a bribe, i.e., an illegal gain, mainly, which is now on the higher side, for example, sentences that concern specific top officials who, again, demanded, and these and these are actually schemes at inflated prices schemes for those kickbacks, they are not so easy to investigate, because it is obvious that no one directly says that you must pay, as the employers' federation says, for example.
