receives eu money through the fault of the eu, because the eu hates hungary, because the eu discriminates against hungary, for example, because hungary pursues a certain peace policy that is against the interests of the eu. so, this is mostly an internal political game. which is against the eu's interest, so this is mostly there is also an element of opacity. the hungarian government believes less and less in the possibility of receiving this money from the european union. and when they no longer expect to get that money back, they can afford to continue the confrontation because they have nothing left to lose. i rather pessimistic about unfortunately, i expect that this confrontational relationship between orbán and the european union. they will continue

in the future, and hungary's presidency of the eu will not help it much. mr. rats, let's talk a little about the hungarian minority in ukraine, in the transcarpathian region, especially in the berehiv district. there are quite a few ethnic hungarians living there, and prime minister orbán always says that he is going to protect this minority and will do everything possible to do so. what can he do to protect the minority and is he just saying that to advance their political agenda.

i'm afraid it's more likely the second, there have been several cases where hungary's foreign policy has actually harmed the interests of the hungarian minority living in ukraine, for example, military support is one such case. hundreds of ukrainian citizens of hungarian origin live in ukraine, hundreds of them fight in the ukrainian army for the freedom and sovereignty of ukraine. dozens of them have already died, the exact number is classified, but it is quite large. so there are ethnic hungarians who are actively fighting for ukraine, if hungary really cared about the fate of the hungarian minority in zakarpattia oblast, it would be interested in helping ukraine as much as possible, to help the hungarian minority as well, to help ukraine win. moreover, imagine

the situation that could have arisen in the first weeks of a full-scale invasion, imagine that ukraine would then suffer a serious defeat. does anyone seriously think that if russia dominated ukraine, if ukraine had a russian puppet government, something like yanukovych number two, that would be good for hungarian ethnic minority. does anyone seriously think that russia would not suppress all ethnic minorities belonging to eu and nato countries? no one will say so, and yet budapest refrained from providing military aid. moreover, in the conditional issues of educational rights, which was the key source of disagreements between ukraine and hungary, tensions already exist. seven years to the question, what if, it is difficult

to answer. nevertheless, for several years, there was no noticeable constructive approach from the hungarian and ukrainian sides. government budapest did not show readiness to solve problems. thus, for several years, there was a stalemate in bilateral relations, which was also harmful for the ethnic hungarians of zakarpattia. we hope that the recent meeting between president zelenskyi and prime minister viktor orban in kyiv will change something. this meeting has been planned for years. orbán has been constantly invited by president zelenskyi for many years, and now the two leaders have met in person. we hope that this

will become a catalyst for bilateral normalization relations recently, there have been certain gestures, both from the hungarian side and from the ukrainian side, when it comes to technical details regarding languages, educational systems, educational rights, cultural rights and. all these things. in the long term, i am optimistic, also because after this meeting, the head of the zakarpattia region viktor mykyta announced that there is a plan to organize a ukrainian-hungarian business forum to discuss hungary's contribution to the recovery of ukraine and hungarian investments. and when money is on the table, they usually have it a restraining influence on the debate. when we talk about the economy, when we talk. about money, it is always a more rational thing than when it comes to more symbolic political issues. despite the fact that orban's visit to moscow obviously came as a surprise for kyiv, the ukrainian reaction was very restrained, moderate, wise and not escalating at all. this again is some indication that there is a chance for

the relationship to improve, despite the fact that several years have been lost. hopefully the future will... look a little better, and one more thing: a meeting zelenskyi and orban were organized in literally 5 days. arranging a meeting of such a high level in such a short time is only possible when both parties really want it to happen. in this case , both sides really wanted the meeting to take place, and this is again a good sign that ukraine and hungary are now ready to overcome some difficult issues and move forward. hungary's viktor orbán constantly praises the potential future president of the united states

, donald trump, and donald trump speaks well of orbán. two weeks ago under time. during his visit to the nato summit in washington , orbán even visited florida and met with donald trump at mara lago. how dangerous can this tandem be if donald trump wins the election in november. this tandem expression is actually interesting. by calling them a tandem we're implying that they're of equal strength, but it's... not really, but okay, let's call them a tandem, whatever you want to call them, it's kind of like a one-sided love, or something

like that, i don't really good on soap operas, but i'm sure we we can find the name. it is interesting that hungarian diplomacy 100% supported donald trump. hungary's ambassador to washington, sabulc takacs, said that budapest has no plan b. he pledged to support trump. if trump does not win, then horshchyna does not count on any good relations with her united states. for smaller countries, the usual strategy is to have good relations with both parties. even for medium-sized countries, medium-sized states such as ukraine, ukrainian diplomacy in washington, led by the ambassador oksana markarova, has excellent connections with the democratic camp and several

republican politicians. this is a classic strategy of how countries treat current presidents. you have good relations with both sides and you delegate very trained professional diplomats as ambassadors, such as ambassador markarov from the ukrainian side, or ambassador takacs from the hungarian side. however, hungary fully supports the republicans this time, which is very unusual. if trump wins, budapest won't get much, don't overestimate the importance of hungary for trump. in addition, hungary's close relationship with china will be a problem for the incoming trump administration. i consider it a serious problem. even hungary's close relations with russia will not necessarily be beneficial. so, even if trump wins, even if the hungarian bid wins, i'm not sure that it can

bring any strategic benefits to hungary. meanwhile, if a democratic president leaves the race, hungarian-american relations will further deteriorate. of course i said this would be the last question but if you don't mind, i'll ask one more thing: how strong... is viktor orbán's position in hungary, and how long is he going to remain the prime minister of this country? at least until 2026, the next parliamentary elections are scheduled for 2026. if mr. orbán is healthy and continues to serve as prime minister, there is no scenario in which he could lose his power before 2026. what will happen in 2026? well, the parliamentary elections are still a long way off. thank you very much mr. ratz

watch this week in the judicial control program with tatyana shustrova. kidnapping is illegal. entrepreneurship, why the cooper judge got suspicion to solve his business cases, the judge ordered the kidnapping of a partner, and how unscrupulous judges avoid qualification assessment, he is too sick for the meeting and qualification assessment, but he is in principle suitable for the administration of justice. congratulations, this is a program of judicial control, and as always, we are talking about the main reform, on which direction our european prospects depend. how is the new judiciary formed in ukraine? what tricks do the unscrupulous servants of themis resort to in an effort to avoid a qualifying assessment that will lead to an ignominious dismissal, and who plays along with them in this? about all this today, but first traditionally, before the news. judge volodymyr serdynskyi of the brovary city district court allegedly forged documents and instead of going on a business trip took money on a cruise

ship to the caribbean islands. the security service of ukraine informed him about the suspicion of forgery of documents and... paradise. according to investigation materials, in the summer of 2023, he was able to illegally travel abroad under the guise of a business trip together with his roommate. for this, serdynskyi used a forged letter of invitation to participate in a conference on assistance to displaced persons, families with children and orphans from ukraine to the eu. during martial law, the judge went on vacation on a cruise ship in the caribbean . for this minister femi. in collusion with a familiar lawyer forged an invitation to an alleged conference in austria. on the basis of this forgery, the court issued him a business trip abroad. this is not the first time that volodymyr serdynskyi has been caught by law enforcement officers. last year, a judge was bribed with a $400 bribe. according to the investigation, the judge received an illegal benefit from the representative of one of the parties in the civil case for

making a decision in her interests. he received part of the money in the amount of 1. earlier, when the decision was made to extract evidence in the case. during the receipt of the second part of the funds in the amount of $300, for the debt collection decision in favor of the plaintiff, serdynskyi was hotly exposed by nabu detectives. during the search , $15,600 was seized from the judge, packaged in different envelopes. the judge of the economic court of the dnipropetrovsk region, eduard bonderev, is suspected of ordering the kidnapping of his business partner. according to the investigation. started working in 2017 farming, and since he is prohibited from doing so by law, he found a fake person, on whom a part of the business in the sumy region was registered. for the start of the business project, the person involved allocated more than uah 3 million. with these funds , the fictitious person purchased combine harvesters, trucks, tractors and other equipment in his name. most of the profit was received

by the judge. over time, the enterprise expanded and money was invested in its development ... including the suspect's partner. however, the judge began to feel less and less comfortable with the management of the company with his partner. in at one point he decided to remove him from the company, blackmailing him with a million dollar loan. however, the man did not want to leave his work without pay. they failed to agree on a peaceful exit from the business, and then, according to the investigation, the suspect ordered the kidnapping of the partner for $17. the man was to be deprived of his freedom and forced to sign the necessary documents. for the transfer of ownership of farm property, the state bureau of investigation publishes an excerpt from the conversation between the customer and the perpetrator of the crime, the place, yes, yes, so that you understand where to take him, to which side, well, in order for me to do this, you understand that it must be stolen, yes, and placed somewhere, let's say, and placed, let's say, well, create the conditions, let's say,

unequivocally, and then look at the situation further, how about all this beating him, breaking his goat, there... breaking, well, that is, i don't understand. the judges reported that he is suspected of organizing a completed attempt to kidnap a person and deprive him of his liberty, he faces up to five years in prison. purification of the judicial system of ukraine from unworthy representatives continues. higher qualification commission of judges continues to evaluate the current servants of themis for their suitability for the positions they hold. not everyone passes it, but everyone wants to. so in pursuit of maintaining influence. chairs resort to desperate measures. this is maidan judge oleksandr lutsenko. he took away people's driving licenses during the revolution of dignity, and now he has been avoiding qualifying assessments for more than six months. of the obolon court of the city of kyiv, he simply avoids the meeting, because every time the question was raised that he is sick, he is in a hospital, and so on, already in a few days

we see that he examines cases, court hearings take place, decisions appear in the register, that is , he is too sick for hearings and evaluations, but he is in principle suitable for the administration of justice, unfortunately, from the third time he was still not submitted . they did not make any decision on dismissal, because the higher qualification commission decided, well, conditionally to take a break and postpone the meeting. during this time, oleksandr lutsenko initiated a parallel process, applied to the supreme council of justice with a statement of resignation and now has every chance instead of a shameful dismissal due to inadequacy of the position, to receive a considerable lifetime allowance at our expense. here's lutsenko, if they resign now, he will only get just when he leaves until about... because the judge will get such a bonus allowance when he resigns, and about 60 00 a month he will receive for the rest of his life, and unfortunately, in this situation vkks

obviously helped him in this. especially fearless, unscrupulous servants of themis go to court, for example, the judge of the economic court of the kharkiv region vitaly usatiy. for us, for the judges of the commercial courts, the main thing is that the commercial courts remain in the system, the judicial system of ukraine in any change. form, or as they exist now, but they must remain. vitaly usatiy specializes in bankruptcy cases and was repeatedly accused of making dubious decisions that allowed private individuals to postpone debts. the experts had a lot of questions about the property of the usatoy family. in particular, a retired mother-in-law bought a house with an area of ​​533 m2 near kharkov in 2015 for almost 2 million hryvnias, and an elite mercedes suv for more than half. it is not clear where a woman who had no income other than a pension got such funds. he received a negative opinion from the public integrity council. he had valuable property, which was a question of

declaration, the question of where the money came from, in particular his wife's. the second was that he received a prize weapon from minister avakov. the law provides that the opinion of the public integrity council about the judge is considered by a panel of three members of the highest qualification commission, then. the full commission and at least 11 people to support this decision of the panel, uh, that is, roughly speaking, as the first and second instance, you can say, uh, nevertheless, usati decided to go to the supreme court and say that no , there should be no consideration by this full composition of the supreme administrative court, since the board said that i am honest, it should remain so, the assessment is over for me. on june 13, the grand chamber of the supreme court recognized the procedure. the qualification assessment regarding judge usatoy is not valid, and this is a very dangerous precedent that actually levels qualification assessment of almost 180 more dishonest

judges, this gives them the opportunity to stay in their positions and endangers the cleansing of the judicial corps, this position of the supreme court helps 179 more judges, who , well, at least most of them, where the conclusions have not been canceled, should have be dismissed, that is... they remain in the system, in the system in which there are now only a few thousand judges, and they will be able to further apply for higher positions, to enter the same supreme court, to become members of commissions and other bodies there, i.e. to decide judicial career for others, uh, and in principle, until the age of 65, feel at ease, get your good high salary as a judge, make decisions in the name of ukraine and continue to buy apartments in miami. her cars and so on. according to experts, this decision of the supreme court is the result of a low-quality competition to the supreme court of ukraine. this case unequivocally shows

that there are problems with the supreme court, and the civic council of integrity repeatedly shouted during the first and second contests for the supreme court that the then qualifiers the commission simply closes its eyes to the conclusions, where are the standard stories, the judges who attracted. people to be held accountable during the maidan, watches for $50,000, as was the case with bohdan lviv. we hope that this case of the great chamber of the supreme court to save judge vitaly usaty from qualification evaluation will remain the only one after the public publicity, and other unscrupulous officials of femida will not be able to avoid a fair verdict under such a scheme. and for today i have everything. as. if you want to report corrupt judges or illegal solutions, write to me on facebook or to this email address. see you in exactly

a week. we are looking for a brother and sister who disappeared during the occupation in the luhansk region in the village of baranivikka, the girl eva is four years old, and her brother artem is eight years old. contact with the children was cut off at the start of the full-scale russian invasion, and nothing has been known about them since. so, if you have any information about eva and artem, please call the magnolia children's hotline at 11630. calls from all mobile operators in ukraine is free. the search for six-year-old mysh melnyk, who disappeared also in the luhansk region, namely in the village of grechyshkine, continues. and we have very encouraging news about this boy. we have been looking for him since march 2000. on the 22nd of the year

, there was no news about him for a long time, we did not know where and with whom myshko was, and in fact, under what circumstances he disappeared. we have made many programs about the search for mishko, telling you his story and asking you to give us any information about the boy. and when it would seem that there were almost no chances left, the chatbot of the search service children in a telegram was written by a witness who said that he knows about myshko melnyk's whereabouts. this is the message we received. mishko is in kindergarten, in the village of grechyshkino, his grandmother brings him there. we have photos. we asked the witness for details, and he confirmed that the boy allegedly lives in the occupied village of grechyshkane and goes to kindergarten. we were also sent a photo and even a video with the boy. kindergarten in the village of hrychishkino. it is located right at the school.

he is alone there, his name is teremok. we congratulate you on the holiday, and this is the photo we had during almost two years of searching, if we compare with the ones sent to us by the witness, the boy is indeed very similar in both photos. we were also helped in the search by fall specialists who search for information in open sources, and they managed to find a page on the russian social network classmate. of mishko melnyk's probable mother. here she is, and here she is, together with little mouse. and this is a photo of a boy at a slightly older age. by the way, his mother posted the last photo of the mouse on her page in february 2023. so, judging by the report of the witness, the photo and the videos he provided, as well as the social network of the boy's mother, all indicate that,

fortunately, myshko melnyk... everything is fine and he is probably in the village of grechyshkine , luhansk region. however, so far this information has not been confirmed and we cannot be 100% sure that the boy has been found. so i am asking everyone, especially the residents of the occupied village of grechyshkine in the luhansk region. if you see this program, please check whether the miller mouse is actually studying in the teremok kindergarten. as possible. take a photo or a video of him and his mom and send it to us in the telegram chatbot of the child tracing service. you can also contact us by short number 11630. calls from all mobile operators in ukraine are free. we have created a resource where you can report any crime against a child. in any city, at any time. just
