of news and this is not true, and accordingly. are there any chances to somehow find out the truth? well, i can't formalize the answer to one or other officials who, in my opinion, simply framed president zelensky in particular. it is specifically about the head of a state concern who dared to do such an act of volunteerism. to say that i am deep in this topic because there is not enough time to follow all aspects. i know that there are some moments related to disconnection from broadcasting and you broadcast only on the internet and through satellite as far as i understand, ah, come on, i'll also raise this question, i'll find out, i'm just not ready to give you an expert answer, an expert assessment of what happened. it's clear. well, in any case, thank you for your willingness to find out . that's the way it is and i hope that in the near future you will be able to let's say put certain

dots over and well, on the air of the espresso tv channel there is an information and analytical marathon fedor veneslavskyi working for you now, mr. fedor, one more good news for me is the restoration the work of the ethical council, which was called and created for the reform of the supreme council of justice, we must remember that despite the fact that we are defending ourselves, we still have to keep our hand on the pulse of our internal ukrainian life, the judicial system is an integral part of this life, in what format will this function now ethical council, will it be able to fully fulfill its obligations, well, during the war, when the supreme council of justice was actually reformed and dissolved, there was a problem with the functioning of the judicial system in general since it was the ethics council that had to reboot the higher council of justice to carry out the selection of those candidates and the verification of those candidates for the

integrity of professional ethics, and during the war we adopted some laws that should simplify these procedures, but in general, we should, indeed, i agree with you, work on perspective and to create such a judicial system, especially after this war, which demonstrated who is who and exactly what emphasis should be placed in the future. i think that intolerance to corruption to any manifestations of anti-state or dubious ethical behavior will be absolutely unacceptable in our society, so i think now is just such a good moment for us to start looking at the prospect of reforming the judicial system in general, restoring trust in the judiciary . mr. fedorovych, the judicial community and civil society are already starting to work on whether we have a chance to somehow make the law on collaboration so effective that history does not repeat itself in the 14th year when those or

other publicists of yanukovych, wagging their tails , began to go into various relevant structures , so to speak. these people should not work in the state apparatus, should not be present, in particular, in public life, that is , it is about how influential were the various ones? the supreme court did not actually compare the law on lustration with the law on collaborationism, collaborative activity because we, when the war started, adopted laws that amended the criminal code of ukraine, criminal liability is provided for - this is komarivtsi laboratory activity and parallel we made

changes to a number of other laws to electoral reference laws on civil service, which actually limited such persons who are suspected of collaborationism in the whole range of their rights regarding e participation in the management of state affairs. therefore, it will definitely not be leveled in any way after the war. i think more than that. there will be an assessment of the sufficiently thorough activity of all those persons who supported the occupation regime with their institutions, actions and ideas or glorified the russian federation or denied the aggression of the russian federation against ukraine. will be significantly less. but at the same time, on the contrary, in every country, as well as in ukraine, there is a part of citizens who become openly, covertly or ideologically on that side on the side of the enemy and the reaction of the state authorities, first of all civil society and the people of ukraine and ukraine, should be indisputable, and in this case i can even

say without appeal that president zelensky , so to speak, hinted that there are people who at hour x in a moment of great tragedy and tension, when the russians rushed literally to our capital, that part of our representatives, well, our officials were taken and, so to speak, put them on the pedals and quickly left, although this moment was well, how the worst for this is the system of our the state authorities, thank god, withstood it. but is there a chance to attract them somehow, or at least to make personnel decisions that would not allow them to continue to hold responsible government positions? involved is a law - a draft law about e-e established criminal liability or increased criminal liability, one can even say so for e-illegal crossing of the state border in conditions of martial law

the bill that he made so many discussions or exposed a lot of discussions about the need to return persons who are also civil servants and people's deputies conscripted into the military. i think that today we have enough such legislative initiatives that will allow to attract those persons who escaped during martial law from the performance of their professional duties, for which the state, by the way, pays them very well and pays and guarantees social benefits, guarantees, if we mention judges, then these are judges who for example, to this day or to us at the beginning of the war, they received wages there starting with 560,000 hryvnias and ending there with three masts, four and more, and uh, their failure to fulfill their duties, and uh, also in such a difficult time, this there should definitely be a reason to review, including their future, the social guarantees of the benefits guaranteed by the state and

the ukrainian people, so there are many reasons for us to react. i think that we will react in accordance with the law. mentioned at least two legislative initiatives, let's stop once again to fix this story precisely on the second one mentioned, and if we are talking about officials, judges, people who, understanding the situation in their lives, decided to go to the service of the ukrainian state, then this is if only one aspect - what will happen with ordinary ukrainians who may have kept their ukrainian citizenship for a long time, may have residence permits in other countries, pay taxes there, are investors in the country, help during wartime, and so on i.e. is there still an idea to punish them for not returning within a certain period of time from the beginning of the martial law to ukraine? well, first of all, i told myself that this is the bill that became very resonant

because there are really a lot of people who have left for a certain period of time, even a long time, are abroad in ukraine they support ukraine in various ways, including financially sending money and earning this money, so i think that between the first and second reading, this bill can definitely be adjusted in this way in order to those people who are not directly related to the civil service to the performance of military duty, for example, let's say, do not have those military accounting specialties that are absolutely necessary for the state at the moment. so that they do not bear legal responsibility, this is a question of discussion, a question of compromise. i think that we we will definitely find such compromises so that people do not suffer, hear it, we will follow now as in history, accordingly, the question of how the story with mp kovalev is developing yes who went to the occupied kherson region. well, now the question is about suspending his membership of the faction, so to speak, and so on. well, but

in general. this story is so true if i can ask you to stay in touch for at least a few minutes with us on it was very difficult to get in touch with zaporizhzhia because the situation is difficult there this morning, ivan revues to the colonel of the armed forces of ukraine, the spokesman of the zaporizhzhia regional military administration is in touch with us, ivan glory to ukraine, congratulations to the heroes glory to ukraine about the situation this morning at six o'clock in the mountains, there are missile strikes on zaporizhzhia, we will inform you about the details a little later , so far there is no information about the victims, but this is how insidious this morning, er, the morning of zaporizhzhia has begun, at least how many rockets did they fire , tell me, er somewhere near the three missiles eh well,

we will talk about it a little later no, well, in any case, it is not a military secret because russia does not know how many missiles they launched oh but god so to speak with him, let's hope that there will be no victims, but we understand that zaporizhzhia remains a potentially extremely dangerous direction of the russian offensive. i want to reassure you that everything is fine, guys at the front, everything is under control, that is, the enemy continues to insidiously fire at the civilian infrastructure. the target of this missile attack was actually a personal e-e in the city of komyshuvaha, there i spoke with the local population, they told how they met e-e it was the easter holidays. the shelling did not

stop there. we posted a video on the zaporizhia regional administration. you can watch it, mr. ivan. is the regional military administration currently thinking about possibly starting the evacuation of the population, or is there no need yet? you have it from the city , from the region, from the region. evacuating around the city of komyshuvapy, i can say that in principle, some people remain there and do not want to leave, and also, a few days ago, you saw a plane arriving and three citizens died in the garden. what was the plane from? it was a rocket. i don’t know if it was a point of participation. what was it? where was the artillery shelling at that time, and the zaporizhia prosecutor’s office opened criminal

proceedings. ivanychi, some data from the currently occupied districts of the zaporizhia region, in the village of rozivka, very strange processes were taking place somewhere far away with a parallel galaxies reminded me of elections . well, there is actually a lot. this situation appears a lot in populated areas. collaborators . well, there they are following the scenario of 2014, just like we had in donetsk region, luhansk region. thank you, thank you. to you mr. ivan glory to ukraine thank you for working and saving zaporizhzhia from the enemy colonel of the armed forces of ukraine of the zaporizhzhia regional military administration was in touch with us also i would like to remind you that we are currently in conversation with fyodor vinyslav people's deputy of ukraine mr. fedorov thank you for waiting to hear the information which for now can be voiced very carefully from

zaporizhzhia a-a and i would like to return to our conversation about the legislative initiatives already implemented in the kherson region by deputy kovalev yes look, first of all, i would like to tell you what for the information i have, how exactly to change the question of national security and defense and intelligence, first of all, military aggression, military aggression, this aggressive war, which the federation expanded on february 24 on the territory of ukraine, in the 90s in cases of one hundred - these are objects of peaceful infrastructure, more than 12 ballistic missiles and air-to-ground missiles were launched. that is, this is another example of what happened today in zaporozhye, this is another example of terror on the part of the russian federation, which as regards deputy kovalev, the question is really ambiguous and strange, i would say, and the faction made a decision to suspend

mr. kovalev's party membership in the faction of the verkhovna rada of ukraine until the circumstances are clarified. i think that this should already be a reason for response by law enforcement agencies, on what grounds he is in the temporary full territory, and it is a pity to say that there are any levers of response to people's deputies of ukraine who are engaged in similar activities, since there are none the constitution of ukraine clearly provides for the grounds for the early termination of the powers of a people's deputy of ukraine, but i think that as soon as all the circumstances are clarified, we will be informed of the fortieth title. to return to the workplace within 48 hours during the martial law, we have information that the law was signed as early as april 15, and it has actually been 11 days since this rule has been in effect er-e can you, p fedoro, tell me that er-e it

somehow affected the functioning of the supervisory councils or are there already precedents, it is even possible to be released, because people to ukraine can er-e, due to security issues, for security reasons, not to return because of whether there are er- e dismissal i think they are not there yet because there is still a deadline for returning e in general e-e according to my information , state officials and e-e legendary councils have also begun to return to ukraine because the level of material support of their supervisory councils is so very resonant a problem that is discussed periodically both in society and in the parliament, so i think that the vast majority, maybe even all of them, will return due to the desire to preserve their status and their financial situation, especially in such an unstable situation as the war, so we will wait until the end of the term that you have identified for return. next, we will evaluate the rest of me. fedorov wanted you to clarify the

situation with people who are forced to perform their official duties in the temporarily occupied territories, in particular, i do not know about urban heads who do not want to collaborate with the russians, yes , but they are forced to work in one or another position, i don't know the mayor, council secretary, etc., etc. under the gun because i don't know yesterday they went to work and tomorrow they were taken and taken to the basement . is it about a violation or a possible

fact ? in which she is forced to perform actions against her will or with the goal of saving her life in freedom , this is the criminal code of ukraine, including the grounds for exemption from criminal liability because a person acted in conditions of extreme necessity there and saved more important values, therefore, in each specific case, it is necessary to carefully establish all the circumstances, how a person behaved, whether he burned or talked, for example, the occupation regime, or did some other actions, and then this will already be the subject of research in e-e in the process of pre-trial investigation in the process of court if it is found that these are signs of the composition of the crime thank you thank you mr. fedorov well i hope that the relevant representatives of local self-government bodies in the temporarily occupied territories they receive appropriate instructions on how to act. well , because we understand that situations are very different and very

difficult. people's deputy of ukraine. we thank you for this inclusion and move on to the conversation with the next guest. in connection with dmytro slava to ukraine, we congratulate christ the risen, in fact, there are several such informational reasons that, in my opinion, deserve this attention, in particular, let's start with the unpleasant unpleasant and for in form and in substance, the minister of foreign affairs of russia, mr. lavrov, gave an interview to the russian first channel, and here i would like to quote him, when the risks of using nuclear weapons are really very, very significant, i really do not want these risks to be artificially inflated, and there are many willing ones the danger is serious, it is real, it cannot be underestimated , the minister of foreign affairs

of our country dmytro kuleba reacted to this, he writes that russia is losing its last hope of scaring the world away from supporting ukraine from here and talking about the real danger of the third world war, this only means that moscow feels defeated in our country, so the world should support us even more so that we win and protect european and global security. it seems to me that our minister dmytro kuleba said it well enough in this format that russia traditionally uses absolutely all methods in war, while not shying away from anything. of course, there are risks of using nuclear weapons, i don't believe me as a military analyst, i won't tell you in detail how it can work like that but nevertheless, we understand very well that uh, the same weapons are the same

ballistic missiles that fly at us like this every day, they can also carry non-nuclear ones because there is a charge that's why, let's say, there are always risks, yes, the question is what did russia want to show with this, in my opinion, she bites back, yes, in my opinion, she bites back, she presses, blackmails, that's all, we are very beautiful and in the way the world will react to this to a greater extent, let's say so will stop at the position just right continue to help ukraine in order for it to defeat the russian federation and the risk of nuclear use of nuclear weapons by the russian federation with e-e thus appeared on the german side to nothing or vice versa these statements of the minister of foreign affairs of the russian federation can scare away the civilized world from helping us well, let's look specifically at how you are currently reacting. yes, we are receiving information that

poland is transferring tanks, we are receiving information that the british are transferring weapons, it is more us we are getting information that today, april 26, the lower house of the american congress will be sitting and they will vote, including for the green forest. so we see that sweden and finland are still speeding up the procedure for joining the. this is how the eyes will react that is, again, beyond all the statements beyond all the things we hear from the russians, nevertheless, everyone sufficiently understands that the threat of russia is a very big threat and not only for us, you know yes yes dear mr. dmytro , they are gathering for a reason in ramstein ministers defense of the western world, on the other hand, there was an extremely sharp reaction from the former commander

of nato's joint forces on the european continent , general philip breedlau. so he said , there are no russian troops west of the dnieper. so why do n't we send nato troops into western ukraine to carry out humanitarian missions to create an advanced supply base weapons, we didn't do anything for that, says general breedlove, in order to stop the fall of mariupol, what did the west do so that odesa does not become next, we should do nothing so that the ukrainians won the battle for odessa, this is already concrete, we understand that this is the former commander-in-chief of the combined nato contingent on the continent, but this is still a very serious statement, well , this is a very good statement, politically and emotionally, so in fact, we very well understand that nato let's say that nato and the alliance brought their troops here, the first thing that is needed is the consent of the

criminal investigation department . nato itself is having discussions on this topic, not all countries agree on this, on the other hand, we understand that the sanctions of the un security council cannot be waited for now, because russia will prepare anything on this topic, but politically, this is a very good step, and i am very happy about the fact that more and more hmm or current or former leaders say so and so and we really need help now, that is, if only a few months ago this issue of russia was being considered, it is a threat not a threat now we see that the entire western world very clearly you understand that accordingly, president macron has, so to speak, gone to the second round of the performance of his functions, and

we would really like to know whether he did not show, so to speak, his love for ukraine. was it sincere, and we understand that now there are levers of pressure on macron somewhat less, and on the other hand. also, we imploredly asked, we devoted more than one hour of our broadcast yesterday just for this reason, that you comment now on the possibilities of the un secretary general, who is going to meet with putin and, accordingly, after that he goes to kyiv with some a message in my pocket regarding the secretary general, yes, i don’t think that this will be crowned with any success, i am rather scriptural here. why because we have seen more than one statement from the intensik, including one that related to easter, for example, to stop shooting, we see how this whole thing is finished that is, aesthetic, because russia cynically violates absolutely everything that

can be violated. yes, i don’t think that a personal visit will convince anyone of anything about macron. well, really, the levers of pressure, let’s say , such a pre-election one, fell a little, but it's good that they fell, it would be much worse to see france as a magnifying glass, and on the other hand, macron is not in an easy situation now because there will be parliamentary elections and we can see how colorful france remains and he will consolidate the french because the presidential election - this is one thing, the actual parliamentary elections are a completely different situation, and there the support of the right-wing is growing and the level is not losing their positions, so that is, it will be difficult enough for the centrist government, that is, it can happen that macron uh, he won't get it, that's exactly what the russians wanted

to put in place, but in the end, macron became the president, so it may happen that he won't get a powerful basis in the form of an adequate parliament, adequate in its policy, so that it can be carried out more effectively . to be i have not yet seen any fresh sociology on this topic, uh, i'm a french expert who follows this more , in particular, and our colleagues, but nevertheless, uh, the question will be more internal in any case politics, that is, the foreign policy of france will be built in one way or another . - even though macron won. we need to continue to build up, continue to pressure and continue

to convince me. i still have rankovsky. what do you think the secretary of state of the united states brought pancakes in the secret case? well, he came symbolically to kyiv, although he could have waited and to meet with the same i don't know warehouse at the military base in rammstein, but not yet the secretary of defense of the united states, austin took with him, so it was not for nothing that they were supposed to bring us something open information so far, so i will share very subjective opinions. i think that it was again about weapons and there was a question, let's say , the supply of equipment, the supply of weapons. yes, it is possible, again, this is connected with a potential lease, which i personally hope that the parliament and the president will come soon enough biden, i will sign it quickly, we have three minutes left until the end of this broadcast

hour, i can’t help but ask about the prospects of a european embargo on russian energy, and you know there is an opinion that an oil embargo is even more effective and important than a gas embargo do you support it? if not, why not? that information is important, yes, but we must understand that in the structure, yes, if we look at the structure of the supply of russian naftogaz, after all, they supply much more gas and there is dependent countries are much more, that is, the same, hungary is also the same, germany, let's say, spain is a little less, so the gas needle is much more serious there, and this is actually what creates such a discussion . look at austria. in principle, austria is absolutely not against the oil barge. yes, but they definitely

said nothing to the gas bar, at least not at the moment. therefore, these are two slightly different positions , and if we look purely at the numbers, europe consumes gas. much more and gas is more difficult for them to replace than the same oil which, in principle, can be taken from the middle east quite easily, well, dmytro, and how do you assess hungary's ability to spoil our european perspective, so to speak, we understand that the european union approves such decisions by full consensus, we will we see how unclear, or rather clearly understandable, is the position of hungary at times, which even blocked its skies for our aviation, or rather for our military cargoes. we must understand here that well, the question of support will be one story, the question of european integration will be another story . yes, we are still waiting for the decision of the european commission regarding our candidacy, and

then the whole process of accession will actually begin. we are already hearing these appeals not only from hungary, but again and again the austrian one, i think the austrian austrian president also recently stated that, wait, we worked with the balkans for a very long time, let's deal with them first, then ukraine, that is, it will be a difficult story. and that's already the history of ukraine's membership in the eu will not only er let's say that the question will be raised not only in hungary but obviously yes it will be one of once again, it's time to pass the word on to our new ones, present to us the information release iryna kovali , iryna, thank you for the word, colleagues. in just a moment, i will tell you exactly where in ukraine the shelling continues
