brutality from the left, stoltenberg, which was not seen in the euro during world war ii. that will lead to fundamental policy changes in the policy of deterrence and defense , increasing the number of high-alert forces, a larger front-line presence of troops and pre- deployed military equipment on the ground let's assess the progress in the process of the entry of finland and sweden and consider the increased investments important for our defense well, it must be said by the way that the president of turkey, recep tayyip erdoğan, is again using this situation in order to have some kind of e-e connections and once again stated that what will happen next? turkey will still block the entry of finland and sweden. it must be a consensus decision of all the member states of the alliance in order to add new members. now erdogan is using his own. so far, it is not clear how the situation will continue. to develop and requires quite a few classes of democratic and liberal countries to approve his not

-so-democratic uh-uh and actually steps. well, let's definitely move on. today, we welcome all day, in particular, the viewers and our guests and the broadcast, and they also welcome us and him to the constitution it is an important day on this very day the verkhovna rada adopted this constitution, it did not happen in 1991. how do you know? well, actually, about the circumstances of this adoption, let’s remember this day and in general remind why the basic law is so important for of each country for ukraine in particular, let's look at our story five years a young state lived without a basic law ukraine received the constitution on the memorable night of june 28, 1996 events went down in history the fifth session of the verkhovna rada of ukraine of the second convocation 328 votes for the

first usurpation the constitution began during the orange revolution, the second president, who at that time was rapidly losing office, at the end of 2004 pushed through the verkhovna rada changes to the law, the constitutional reform provided for the transition of ukraine to the parliamentary-presidential republic, the extension of the term of office of the parliament to five years, elections to the council on a proportional basis , the formation of the cabinet of ministers, a coalition, this weakened the powers of the next president, viktor yushchenko, viktor yanukovych, who came to power in 2010, decided to return all powers to himself by the decision of the constitutional court and without a vote of the parliament, the changes of 2004 were recognized as illegal. thus, ukraine returned to the presidential-parliamentary form of politics, and experts then called this decision

biased and not objective. and there was a decision of the constitutional court that simply reinstated the constitution of 1996, which was changed in the parliament in 2004. and it was then that we moved from a presidential-parliamentary to a parliamentary- presidential republic, so the main claim was not even in the essence of these of changes, the fact that the constitution will change in the 10th year, and in the completely unconstitutional fraudulent way in which it happened in february 2014, everything turned around again, relying on the new majority of the verkhovna rada restored the constitution of 2004 and recognized the decision of the constitutional court of yanukovych's time as illegal, and i ask you to receive this draft amendment to the constitution first of all. i am counting on a positive vote of the parliamentary coalition that

is outside the parliamentary coalition. can be stable and long-lasting. but the most important changes were made in february 2019 during the time of the fifth president petro poroshenko . the verkhovna rada in the main law recorded the acquisition of full membership in the european union and nato, and also excluded from the constitution the provision on the possibility of a foreign state renting military bases in ukraine. this is how the constitution actually changed. sometimes the accents in it changed very much during these pregnant years, not simple years. well, actually, now we will also talk about the future, including of our ukrainian constitution, since it will obviously still require certain changes, in particular for further

fundamental reforms for joining the european union, oleksandr marusiak, an expert on constitutional law at the political and legal center of reforms are already in touch with us mr. oleksandr good day good day, well, i congratulate you too on the holiday, for sure, you can even say professional, not at all. of the constitution and said something about it, in particular he said that the constitution of pylyp orlyk should be included, for example, the school curriculum so that children study it and this is certainly not bad , i am here of course there is a question as to how far the constitution of pylyp orlyk can be considered the constitution in this the sense of what we are talking about now, well, because it, in my opinion, dates back to 1707, and it was more like 70-10. well, that is, in fact, it is already almost 80

years before the appearance of the constitution of the united states, so what already well a classic constitution can be considered a classic constitution. what exactly did the appearance of the american constitution actually change? what is the constitution today ? in classical it really is the constitution of the united states of america of 1787 is the first document in history and, in fact, the only one that has been in effect since then that fully falls under the characteristics of the constitution, what we now consider a constitution, the constitution of philip orlyk, despite all the innovation in a certain aspect, is still a historical document and i cannot call it a

constitution in the modern sense, before the constitution of pylyp orlyk, there were, for example, documents of the state of connecticut, and in sweden there were acts of government that also fall under the signs of the constitution if we look at it with modern eyes at that time, clearly no one considered them to be constitutions in modern times; moreover, the roman catholic church also has documents called the apostolic constitution, although it is not at all a constitution in the sense that you and i are talking about today . well, actually philip screamed in the latin version of latin in latin, actually this treaty of his with the swedes was simply called the constitution, so it was later translated into a constitution, but the rights of non-citizens were discussed . a citizen and accordingly there was no concept, actually there was no such concept, and actually, actually, you were the separation of powers in that document, that is why it was really innovative at that time, there were prescribed,

for example, absolutely anti-semitic standards for today. it's worth it, but under which constitution was it then, so this is history, that is, the way to history. okay, let's talk about our constitution. now, the actual question about the constitution that arises for me as a person, as a political journalist, yes, a person who, yes, or otherwise, he monitors the political process and was a parliamentary journalist for many years, and so on. my question always arises as to whether, thanks to the constitution, it is possible to finally somehow distinguish between the executive power, the presidential power, and balance all these branches. well, of course, of course , the legislative power and, ultimately, the judicial power to what extent is the constitution basically a document that should regulate all of this, or are more

changes needed here so that we don't have further interpretations, because what we see seems to me do you agree with me, in fact, in all terms of office of all presidents, we have very different ratios of the presidential vertical and what we can call a parliamentary or parliamentary presidential republic, or should this be a question of time and whether ukraine needs any more changes well, thank you for your question, this is really such a key and urgent question for today, according to the constitution , they were invented in order to limit the absolute power of the monarch, for example, the constitution that is why the usa is good in many ways and long-lasting because it was able to establish this balance, the congress, the president, the supreme court until now. this logic works for them, and in our case, we really have this problem with the triangle of power, as they call the president, parliament and the government. time, none of the

presidents could agree with their limited constitutional role, every president still wanted to be greater than the constitution gives him, well, deep down, many probably wanted a presidential republic, but for the parliament as well it was possible to dissolve, even president zelenskyi unambiguously hinted at this topic, and the employees and his office also therefore, first of all, the constitution is really for this and exists in order to limit the power and divide it, that is, this separation of powers is a classic legislative-executive court, but it is not enough to simply divide the power, it is necessary there is also a mechanism for restraining counterbalances, if it does not work, then any branch of government can take over all the powers. well, in belarus, we have a great example of how the president replaced everything only he is the president who has the executive power there and it is a presidential republic. he dragged it and only he is the only one. what is the parliament or what is the constitutional court of that state, unfortunately, we have not yet

found our palace, we have already said in the search process because of the constitutional reform of 2004 year, if it had not been treated negatively, there are also procedural violations, of course, but it has already laid down the logic of this real one over that of the semi-principalism of the parliamentary-presidential republic. when the government is answerable to the parliament first of all and as the president, we hope that we will one day go further and polish this system of government, and now we will continue this conversation. and what is important in our context, a member of the temporary special commission of the verkhovna rada on working out the draft constitution of ukraine in 1996, mr. volodymyr, i haven't seen you for a long time and i'm glad to greet you. i wish you a good day. happy holiday to all, er, happy holiday.

i'll ask you another question. we've already started talking with mr. oleksandr, but how important is it that all branches of government are balanced in the constitution so that no one has did not tempt this government to usurp the question here is also the fact that all our presidents to one degree or another exceeded their powers, including the last one, volodymyr , in your opinion, from the 96th year of the constitution, how far have we moved and whether in the right direction direction and where would you go further, well, you know how every father's soul aches for the education and growth of his child, and we, the author of the constitution, were very sorry to watch how every new supreme ruler, you know who i'm talking about, tried to reshape the constitution to suit himself and i want to say that in many many cases it was successful

starting with the changes that were made in december 2004 then they were canceled in the 10th year then they were canceled again they went back in the 14th year and it all did not benefit the seed process besides there were many such encroachments that did not interfere with the constitution, but interfered with its body and directly harmed the text itself and the understanding of the people. we wrote the constitution. we came out of it like that. and what will happen in the future, this did not mean that in 1996, our constitution corresponded to the situation that was exactly in ukrainian society, the ukrainian state in

international members of a sovereign state, the organization of the united nations, and with the perspective of what we will achieve in the future. and for the development of this perspective, the adoption of 602 constitutional laws was foreseen, these are laws that are directly mentioned in the text of the constitution, but on which the parliament had to work and to adopt them in accordance with the basic law, which is also called the law of laws, the constitution of ukraine, you understand, yes. and when kuchma in 2007, in the 97th year, attacked the law on the cabinet of ministers, it was such that i got to the hospital frost got to the hospital in karpenkom got to the hospital everyone with the same er diagnosis, all of them are there only with an interval of a few days, well, i'm the youngest, er, i went through the cable drips, and they are older, she comes in october, in october, to see the bubbles, well, that's right to the word but then he categorically refused

to sign the law on the cabinet of ministers twice, while he refused twice once 301 gomez was turned back after several periods , the summer session considered 307 votes, and according to the law, if according to the constitution, which was already in force in 1996 if the parliament re-votes with a majority of 300 votes, the president is obliged to sign the law and make it public, but kuchma never made it public, and as a result, only the next convocation of the parliament already adopted the law on if the current version, he never surrendered under the fact that the verkhovna rada had power influence on the activities of ministers, in particular, accountability in the verkhovna rada for what is done, if it is done in this country, and i can give many such examples, including the compromise when the presidential republics approached yanukovych came to the parliamentary republic, he turned it back, he wanted it to be purely presidential, and they quickly, with the help of the

pension court, which eliminated the changes to the constitution of 2004 . presidential republic , there is a certain logic that there are people, they elect the parliament, the parliament where you elect, accordingly, the cabinet of ministers, which approves before the parliament and some program of actions and they and then embody the next cadence, there is a sense in this. in principle, this electoral democracy, as we its ba- well, as we them, in principle, the world, and in this sense, i of this election cycle, again, because the voters can then assess how well all this was accomplished. well, and they vote on some program. we have been trying to somehow come to such a model for 30 years, and in the end, for example, as of now, we have a government which well, it is not very important who are who are the members of the government and
