run the material er so here the diplomat explains that it is actually the merit of ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky who made a number of speeches in the parliaments of european countries er ukrainian diplomats also traveled who persuaded who convinced who managed to convince the most powerful ukrainian skeptics in because ukraine will carry out these reforms and even show exactly how this will happen. well, in addition, zhovkva says, we should be indebted to the ukrainians who are currently in various eu countries and together with the societies of these countries are putting pressure on politicians, so who do we have to thank for the decision that is expected soon , the draft of this decision has already been published as finalized, well , that is, we are still waiting for positive news, and who should we thank for your opinion, mr. serhiy, of his

speeches on international platforms and i begin by saying, i thank god and the armed forces of ukraine for the opportunity to make this speech. i think that of course we should thank god and the armed forces of ukraine, first of all, as for who to thank, it seems to me that without energy effect without any of these components, and the position of the ukrainian diplomacy of the president and the ukrainians who lobbied for this decision at all levels in the european union and our armed forces and our partners, who also should not be forgotten, all contributed to make this decision possible, they want it to single out the position of our baltic partners e.e. poland , the shegrad four, romania, and even to some extent bulgaria, which, despite its cautious position , also supported our scandinavian, all these countries contributed to a very large extent

to convince old europe in order to convince brussels , paris, berlin, and in some places the situation was so bad that it was so bad that the devil was simply forced to make concessions and paris was forced to make concessions because they were more aware that if they refuse the ukrainians now, they will lose trust in vilnius, italy, nor bucharest , warsaw, and accordingly they agreed to these concessions. the european commission also showed not only a purely mechanical function of monitoring the reforms and evaluating the survey of the questionnaire , the position of the method of fondelaien was also very friendly to ukraine and the catalyst for all these processes was the completely inadequate behavior of the russian federation. moscow proved to everyone that its positions are unchanging and frankly aggressive, and this became one more impetus for stronger

arguments on the part of those states that always talked about it and so that these arguments were heard in the states that were looking for business with russia and only now realized that this business is toxic and leads to the weakening of the european union as a whole. andrii , eh, political will, we promised to return to this of the moment and maybe ms. maria. i think that ms. maria and sergiu have already said in principle that political will is necessary, will we see it and a demonstration? deputies of ukraine, now we will torture them on this topic. thank you to ms. maria p serhiy e maria golub - expert on bilateral relations between ukraine and the eu, representative of the international center of ukrainian victory, and serhii gerasimchuk, deputy executive director and director of the regional initiatives and neighborhood program of the ukrainian foreign policy council prizma were our guests. we have a couple of guests, oleg synyutka

, people's deputy of ukraine, and yaroslav yurchyshyn, also people 's deputy of ukraine. mr. yaroslav, i am glad to welcome you. i congratulate you. i congratulate you . television viewers. resurrection. the day i am for ukraine this is how this two-day meeting of the eu leaders begins, at which ukraine is expected to receive a final opinion on granting us the status of a candidate for eu membership well, actually, on the eve of june 17, we received such a positive opinion from the european commission, so according to all procedures, mechanisms such as this how is this action happening in the european union? today we have to hear

good news, but there is also a certain specificity . these reforms are, in fact, possible for us to preserve this candidate status, if we do not do our homework, the status can always be taken away by brussels, and let us remind you that these are actually blocks of major reforms, according to the experts of the international community, and we will talk about these three talk with our guests so the reform of the constitutional court, the continuation of the judicial reform and anti-corruption, including the appointment of the head of the sap, mr. synyutka, let's start with you. we talked with the previous guests. will there be enough political will in ukrainian authorities and let's figure it out. what can we actually do and how much time can it take for us to meet these requirements of the european union

regarding the transformation of ukraine into a full-fledged european state ? that the decision that i am convinced will be made in brussels today and tomorrow is the result of the path that ukraine continued in 2014 and this is the will of the ukrainian people, and that we have received or will receive not just a status but a status with remarks is unfortunately a result the work of today's government, because if you are not soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine, if it were not for the position of ukrainians in resisting moscow's aggression and protecting values, then i am convinced that the question of candidacies would be in great doubt, and the fact that today's authorities have put fuses is precisely the result of what the west wants in this way, to

stimulate today's government to continue reforms and, in addition to anti-corruption, which reforms of constitutional legislation, in particular, and the constitution of the courts, i would add two more very large areas to which the ukrainian government should pay attention power, first of all, it is freedom of speech because freedom of speech among the list of these remarks that the european commission puts today is almost number one and it is not surprising because what is happening with your tv channel with direct and fifth disconnection from digital broadcasting, this cannot be ignored in brussels cannot go unnoticed today in the countries of europe because the attack on freedom of speech is unacceptable for the countries of the european community and the second twice the second blog that was not named today is of course the rule of law cannot be a country a member of the european union if the

rule of law is not ensured in it, including the things you said about anti-corruption legislation, in particular, such an already infamous person was not recognized as an anti-corruption prosecutor . legislation, and a change was proposed during the adoption of the decision, where in the case of the absence of the anti-corruption prosecutor, as it is now, his duties should be performed by his deputy. unfortunately, the monomajority and the government did not go that's what we are today. we are left with this problem , which the representatives of the european commission pointed out to us today, and without solving which the road will definitely be closed to us before the start of negotiations on membership in the european union. since

2019, the government has been doing everything possible to subordinate the constitutional court to itself, and here it is not even about the head of the constitutional court, i definitely have no sympathy for him as a person here the question is in the institutions, they are collateral in trust and in the functioning of the institution, among which the constitutional court and the status of the head of the constitutional court is actually a very, very important era, but i am convinced that we need to start with freedom of speech and we need to start with the rule of law without these steps, well exactly let's not start negotiations on membership in the european union, let's listen to mr. yurchyshyn, mr. yaroslav will now say that the most important thing is anti-corruption, but in fact it is not, but now the element of the foundation is much more important - it is the independent judiciary and the requirements of the european union

concern not only the constitutional court, this is important but only one of the elements of the judiciary itself. that is, those bodies that are responsible for the selection and disciplinary sanctions against representatives of the judiciary, and there we started the journey, but we did not finish it and the war here can be well, only a temporary apology in fact conduct selection to the high council of justice and to the non-working higher qualification commission of judges, we are quite a-a we can and now and this is what the european union actually tells us about, therefore the first requirement and they should be read in sequence although in a complex and out of the

seven first you can establishes the rule of law if there are not actually fair courts , any reforms in ukraine are doomed to only partial success, and therefore, if you were to ask me, what is my priority now, but defending the independence of anti-corruption bodies, unfortunately, they are in the next a under attack a or the rule of law, i would unequivocally say the rule of law, unfortunately, here we have a debt since independence, since 2014 , that is, we definitely need to fix it together, all the mechanisms for this, unfortunately, the government is in no hurry, and the second one too an important point about which mr. oleg did not speak. and i completely agree that it is a shame when the european union draws our attention to the fact that it is not necessary to ensure, well, in fact,

the absence of censorship, but the cool activity of regulatory bodies in the field of information media. met the requirements of the european union, well, that is, without justified shutdowns of tv channels , in principle, the european union does not foresee, and for unjustified shutdowns, there should also be responsibility, and this should be monitored by the proper body in ukraine, it is called the national meeting on the issues of radio broadcasting and television, which is on unfortunately, now and in the future, it remains such a manual and a structure of anyone who gets power, and it is very important . they said, and it should be said, it was presented as a huge victory, the actual decision on the so-called de-

oligarchization was promised a list of oligarchs, they promised correction of the adopted laws, because there were comments not only in the opposition, but also in the venetian commission regarding the fight against oligarchs and bringing them to european standards, so far this is also not the case of course, for now we can say that we hope, and this is probably the great destiny of pravda, that our european partners will appreciate the heroism of the armed forces of ukraine and the ukrainian people, the stability of the ukrainian people and will give us apply, but i also want to remind you that there have actually already been cases when due to non-fulfillment of the conditions on which the state undertook, and here it is not only the requirements of the european union, here the european union clearly says that you undertake to do these

seven requirements and then of course you have and candidacy and it is protected and we will work with you to make an even deeper program of requirements that will give the possibility of membership in the european union or you do not undertake these obligations. you are not quite on the way, i will remind you that once in bulgaria and romania there was a similar situation, they received the status of candidates, but decided that it is possible to continue to live in such a post-soviet state, and in principle, this is the case when european funds enter ukraine, that is, into a country in bulgaria, romania, and what about them the soviets, i.e. doribanik among themselves, so there was actually a question of depriving them of their status, and if bulgaria and romania had not corrected these errors, they would have lost their status, therefore, receiving it today or tomorrow, most likely tomorrow

or today is very late, and the status of the candidate is after the vote of all members of the european union, and the authorities need to implement the reforms that they promised to implement on the same day, and at the same time, i can say here that i think oleg fully supports me in these reforms. the authorities will have one hundred percent support for the ukrainian the opposition, because european integration, the european union, euro-atlantic integration is what unites the constitutional majority in the parliament , i really hope they don't have any tatars in this. can literally exchange opinions on oligarchization for a minute and a half, for example, anti-oligarchic laws or all oligarchs and oligarchs in general as a class, if that is how we define them there, even at the legislative level, it is for the fact that ukrainians-ukrainians-ukraine really entered the european night, it is beneficial for them for their business. is it uh-uh, that is, who is actually an

ally of ukraine here, and for example even the same oligarchic channels that today are in the same field with uh-uh pro-government channels, that is, this or this, that is zelensky’s remark recently about what is so far war is necessary, not to democracy, it must be opened. yes, it is undemocratic. there are some very many signals. do they add optimism? do you think there will be strong opposition to these changes? let's literally exchange opinions for a minute. the opposition will definitely come from one side. now we have virtually destroyed oligarchic networks, but at the same time, the oligarchs are doing everything to regain their influence , for example, in the energy sector. firtasha is a vivid example of this, and the situation is quite difficult not to write off receiving

accusations that the heating season has been interrupted, to write off to give the oligarch a bunch of state funds, therefore it is quite a difficult question, but there is no alternative, or the oligarchs turn into big business and start acting according to the rules of the european union, or they will interfere with our european integration, respectively. they must be really destructive to your words. i absolutely share and support all the words of miss yaroslav because we really parliament acts in unison with european euro-atlantic integration and i confirm again and again that the oligarchs, the market economy, which is our ticket to the european union, are absolutely incompatible things, and the ukrainian oligarchs demonstrated yesterday and today that their mercantile interests are much more important to them than the interests of the ukrainian state even during the war, although this whole story is a mystery and what with gases, as well as with the

incomprehensible operations that the government is conducting together with kolomoiskyi, i mean everything related to the gas market and not only the gas market is definitely not going to benefits the ukrainian state and definitely does not contribute to our path to the european union, therefore the oligarchs as a class must be definitely declassified, and this will be a good step and a good perspective for our movement towards the european community, because the market economy, small and medium-sized businesses, a competitive environment, anti-corruption legislation are those things without which it is good this life is simply impossible. we thank oleg sinyutsi, people's deputies of ukraine, and yaroslav yurchyshyn, people's deputy of ukraine. in conclusion, i just want to remember my own fresh in fact, in the statements of the deputy head of the office of the president of ukraine, ihor zhovkva, where did he say that the skeptics of the eu actually managed to

convince them by explaining to them how ukraine will implement each of these seven reforms step by step which have set as a condition for us to make further progress on the way to joining the european union, members of this entity, so we hope that it is exactly as the diplomat with the zhovkva bank says and it will happen that ukraine will step by step from the first and to and to the seventh block we will implement all this, because it is primarily in our interests, in the ukrainian society, in the interests of the ukrainian state and its development, and not in the interests of some other countries. shustrova live about how ukrainian judges who are connected to the kremlin and their own can destroy the ukrainian economy without a single shot

, what is it about, you will find out about it now well , then we will see you tomorrow in the same way from the morning shustro's investigations live on how putin's friends can destroy the ukrainian economy. let's watch together and draw conclusions immediately after this . a legal point will be made, the activity of our work will be questioned and how ukrainian judges help the invaders, look further from the beginning of the open military invasion of the russian federation at the end of february 2022, the topic of confiscation of russian

assets intensified in ukraine. on march 3, the verkhovna rada adopted a law on the forcible seizure of property owned by the aggressor country and its residents, and president volodymyr zelenskyi enacted a decision on the forcible seizure of the assets of the russian industrial investment bank and introduced amendments to the law on sanctions, which allow seizing the assets of any russians, where the decision will be taken by the vacc and where there are several dozen criteria by which they build determine the persons who will be subject to sanctions , including the sanction in the form of confiscation of it in the state income, there is another law on the nationalization of the property of the russian state, and while with one hand ukraine inflicts a serious economic blow on russian business, with the other, it allows russian money to influence the domestic politics and economy in the last year of change,

attacks by kremlin-linked businessmen were repeatedly reported on the poltava mining and beneficiation plant, which is one of the largest enterprises in ukraine that exports products around the world and provides jobs for about 6,000 workers, we are the largest enterprise in terms of iron ore mining and iron ore atb production, prepared raw materials for metallurgy of local enterprises, high salaries, decent working conditions, new production technologies and powerful economic support for the development of the region, all this is poltava region now risks losing the company due to corruption courts in an illegal way tries to take control of the company from the legitimate owners tries to capture the current deputy chairman of the russian state duma oleksandr babakov together with his companion yevgeny giner, the president of the

central sports club of the russian army, and they are doing it through controlled offshore companies and the ukrainian judicial system, which still remains unreformed. the biggest problem with the judiciary in ukraine is actually honest judges the quality of judges is so because for decades we have recruited godfathers of controlled and corrupt swat brothers there in order to be able to influence this system as much as possible bakov is known not only for the fact that he voted for the annexation of crimea, the introduction of troops into ukraine and the recognition of the ldr. he is currently under the sanctions of ukraine, the united states and the eu. and in the united states , a criminal case is being investigated for the implementation of hostile political plans against ukraine and the united states. this is oleksandr babakov. this is a sanctioned person. who , as a deputy, voted for the annexation of crimea, is currently the deputy chairman of the state duma

of russia, is a co-adviser, is a confidant of putin , the second person is also a citizen of the russian federation - this is yevgeny giner, he is the owner of the cska football club stands for the central sports club of the army of the russian federation. giner is also under us sanctions. in addition, he is a partner of the russian corporation rostec, which exports military products and is headed by an old friend of vladimir putin, serhiy chemezov, all of which are produced at our enterprises. us, all brands of airplanes are engines of a construction company that produces all engines, including for space and for airplanes and for helicopters and even for ships and the civil and military ukrainian state bureau of investigation directly names babakov and giner as the

leaders of the luzhniki organized crime group , as stated in the joint investigation of the scheme program on radio freedom and the scanner project, according to the conclusions of the dbr, the specified group of russian citizens illegally obtained a number of ukrainian critical infrastructure objects through fraud poltava gzk is another critical object for ukraine, the control over which they are trying to seize the kremlin business, i have lawsuits for assets began in 2005, that's when four offshore companies, which the media linked with businessmen close to the kremlin, babakov and giner, started the process of the allegedly illegal purchase of poltava gsk by the international group of forexpo companies, japanese companies, a chinese company in a secular company, german companies, and they will not understand this in any way in the absence of any legal grounds, the enterprise can pass from one

owner to another owner in order to take the plant from the investors of the former owners companies have already tried several times through the court to invalidate the contracts for the sale of shares, but they lost. they refused to satisfy the lawsuit demands for the invalidation of all changes to the charter of jsc poltava gzk made after november 20, 2002. after the final court decision , the kremlin-related business from the luzhniki criminal group decided to launch another round of court cases in 2020, the specified offshore companies again filed a lawsuit challenging the purchase of poltava gzk in 2002, but as a result, the court rejected the lawsuit again repeating the position expressed by the courts that there are no grounds for transferring the ukrainian enterprise under the control of the kremlin oligarchs. at the end of last year, news began to appear in the media

that the specified russians intensified the attack on the poltava gas plant with the possible participation of the ukrainian oligarch ihor kolomoiskyi, apparently playing a key role in the attempt to gain control over the judges of the northern commercial court of appeal were to play the ukrainian enterprise and for this purpose used the well-known scheme of transferring the case for consideration to convenient judges of the submission endless appeals to judges who were determined by the system of automatic distribution of court cases, the judiciary in its current form. it has always served the oligarchs and was and is a part of this oligarchic system. the court of appeals changed its panel several times until the case was considered by the trinity of judges headed by marina barsyuk is the wife of lawyer viktor barsyuk, who used to be a lawyer of the poltava district court, but later moved to

the office of ihor kolomoisky, judging by the composition of the court, maryna barsyuk is no longer participating in the proceedings instead, the presiding judge of the case is lyudmila kropyvna, who was also in the panel of judges at which russian oligarchs stopped their choice last year due to a series of appeals. the other judges of the panel, marina rudenko and viktor shapran, are also connected to marina barsyuk to one degree or another, as they are part of the same and of the same panel of judges, marina rudenko is known for the fact that at one time ukrnafta, under the control of kolomoi, openly asked to transfer the cases against her to this particular judge . about viktor shafran, the media told how he through the district administrative court of pavel vovka sought the right not to pay taxes from his salary another review of the case of granting control over the poltava gzk

to businessmen associated with the kremlin in the northern commercial court of appeal is scheduled for june 23, the company's employees demand a fair decision if the company comes under the control of offshore firms which on currently, through the judicial authorities, they are trying to establish control over it, that is an illegal order, it will simply be destroyed, we demand a fair decision, no let us capture ukrainian business, meanwhile, the damage russia will inflict on ukraine is astronomical, according to the calculations of the kyiv school of economics, as of the beginning of june, the amount of direct damage from the destruction of buildings and infrastructure is more than 100 billion dollars, and this figure will only grow as hostilities continue and the aggressor country continues to occupy ukrainian territories, while the vice-speaker of the russian state duma babakov, who

, together with the luzhnikis, set his sights on the powerful enterprise of the poltava region, is already in charge ukrainian assets in the program of the propagandist solovyov territory. i would like to say that the costs should go there, not the budget. including research on investing there, not based on our budget, and if there are opportunities and weaknesses in the economy of these territories, the illegal transfer of important ukrainian enterprises under control putin's friends will testify that the russians are capable of destroying the ukrainian economy at all without firing a shot, they just need to choose the right judge for this
