the canadian turbine, he says that we should understand in what condition the car arrived, what is its legal status , whether it is under sanctions or not, tomorrow it may be taken away from us, putin is worried, and again, in this story, with sanctions, it turns out that pandora's box is already slowly opening and now it is possible to deviate from a clear and strict position on them, mr. yakovlev. well, you know. i understand that there are hints of a traitor approaching. this is really , really, really, i am communicating with western diplomats in ukraine in particular, and this is one of my impressions with the lugano conference at which there was a field in that there are really, uh, particularly massive, some dissatisfaction with the rise in prices for both electricity and fuel, and the plus is coming, for whom they are seasonal in europe, russia will definitely use sanctions, you say from us, let's put pressure on ukraine and we

mean, we will put this in order because europe really found itself held hostage by russian energy supplies. the fact that the first liquefied gas has been delivered since last year more than was bought over there through the pipes well, that's all the things, but it will be especially a lot, it seems to me from the fall, so because the preparation for the heating season in the west of many countries continues, i heard otaku about just as an example yes, i heard such information that it was difficult for me to verify. i immediately knew that i was being verified. but this is how the austrian diplomat said that for a family of four the season would cost five thousand euros, that such an amount which bites, and they will, and indeed, he said that we can count on popular protests today, because today, people are dissatisfied with the prosperous austria in other countries, and unfortunately, how does it function to use putin with these of his own

instead of squeezing out and i have lost you all, he says, well you see how difficult everything is in this. well, you are already ukraine against victory, they say, let's remove the sanctions from us, everyone will be fine, then it is clearly separate from this strategy of pressure on us through the west and through their population, on which it depends there is politics, it is unlikely to happen from this p. maxime, in your opinion, how can this affect the conduct of the russian military campaign? so , that is, they will drag it until autumn. will they try to drag it until winter, taking into account the energy crisis on the european continent? well, we do not know the format and maybe he will still understand that gas blackmail will also cost him dearly. well, it is really expensive, but since i am not a military expert, i will immediately note here, but with the obviousness of the flint, putin took a course on exhausting a war of pelting our positions with cannon fodder and

biting off pieces of our territory, advancing like this, that's why i just don't see that russia is ready to just not stop. i would say yes, that is, they will use dana and the energy situation , so to speak, to strengthen their negotiating positions. well, see if we were in their place, wouldn't we have done it differently? unfortunately, i think that somewhere in their place, i would have arrested part of their military leadership. yes, it went on . thank you very much, mr. mykola zamikula. senior researcher of the department of foreign policy and international security problems of the national institute of strategic studies and maksym yakovlev, head of the department of international relations of the national university of kyiv-mohyla academy, director of political analytics of the kyiv-mohyla university of applied sciences, in simple words thank you very much, gentlemen, for this work well,

we are already summarizing the results of putin's visit to tehran and his meeting with raisi and erdoğan, it is also important to note the phrasing of the question and in general, the presence in one of the contexts of this meeting of a religious leader of the iranian mainstream , who quite clearly made it clear that it is usually the civilian population that dies in ukraine - this cannot but add to the pessimism of the situation, but i clearly note that i believe that the united states of america and nato as a whole, as far as we understand, provoked the russian federation. and whether it was curtsy towards the visitor who came to them, or, after all, a clear position and early on the situation, a clear position at one time, the united states even formulated a description of the two regimes of north korea. and early on, it was called the axis of evil

, and at one time, the progressive young iranian religious democracy, which was headed by an aetola, that is, a spiritual leader, so they generally called the soviet union, for example, the little satan accordingly, at that time it was, so to speak, much less of a problem for them than, for example, the same israel in their mythological imagination. so everything there is very subtle and so to speak, the consequences of this all things are not easy, but at any moment, about six months ago, they can remember their old formula about the little satan who lives in moscow, a lot will be carried away, we have been talking about iranian drones for several days and it is possible that the russian federation is interested in them about the almost secret visits to iran by officials responsible for armaments in the russian federation and the testing of these

drones for the first time. interpreted and provided to the world the ministry of foreign affairs and early said yes, no, we are not going at all, but i see that the analyst will remember him again lilia kusa notes that most likely a-a no, there is no concreteness on this issue now, but its solution, the answer to this question can as well as whether or not the nuclear agreement between iran and the united states is promising or not. i personally believe that this issue is already closed, but we can see. iranian drones, they will not solve the russian situation with the latest weapons, because iranian drones are iranian drones , with all due respect to the iranian defense

industry . that the appropriate utensils from the states came to us, yes , and in general, in the morning, somewhere, but i don't remember under what circumstances, the american drone was intercepted predator yes, well, they decided to hide something, so to speak, on their knees, as i’m not saying that it’s hopeless, it’s definitely not nuances, or the borshchag people blinked like that for a year, but still, that is, well, it’s not super-duper technology and the best drones wouldn’t they just gave it there because they need it in the region. and what happened to the russians in this case? we draw our own conclusions. we take the next step. contact us. olena shcherban, a lawyer at the anti-corruption center and maksym

kostetskyi , a lawyer. greetings, dear ones. news about the fact that the commission still approved the candidacy of the head of the sapan, klymenko, who really and fairly, as i understand it, scored the highest number of points in the competition. well, there are no comments about him. as far as i understand the civil society in the expert environment, but uh, the catavasis continued for two years, in the end it happened, now the appointment of the head of sap must be signed by the head of the general prosecutor's office of our country, taking into account the fact that iryna venediktova was dismissed from this position by the verkhovna rada yesterday and we have acting deputy, the question is for mr. maksym, and actually the acting deputy can sign us an e-mail on the appointment of the head of sap and whether it will be in accordance with all procedures, please look at

our situation, in fact, it is quite critical tzap, in general , because the previous head has already resigned in august 2020, and in fact, for almost two years, the anti-corruption prosecutor's office has been working without leadership , at first the competition itself did not start for quite a long time, because it started only in 2021. and in december 2021, when the competition commission finally approved at the same time, the results of the winner were not chosen and very, very many sources from the verkhovna rada of ukraine and the protection of the president spoke about what is happening precisely because a specific person does not like the specific people who currently manage the law enforcement system in the office of the president of ukraine. i have in mind, mr. oleg tatarov and directly his manager, mr. andriy yarmak, and therefore now that the event has finally achieved its goal in

order to convince the ukrainian authorities not to turn themselves into a scapegoat for the whole world, but to complete competition for the position of sap counter and to approve its result, uh, new obstacles have appeared, which ukrainian leaders, unfortunately, often try to introduce in cases where they do not like what they are trying to force them to do, therefore they can really now refer to history with the fact that one appointment of the general the prosecutor in connection with the appointment of the head of the specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office has not yet taken place, at the same time as, in my opinion, there are no legal restrictions for directly performing the duties of the prosecutor the general prosecutor was appointed by the head of the stationary corruption prosecutor's office. again, it is also worth paying attention to the fact that the a-a commission voted for a very interesting wording that within three working days after receiving a

report and confirmation of the compliance of the relevant person with the requirements of the law of ukraine on prevention of corruption on cleanup authorities, they submit this candidacy for consideration by the prosecutor general, that is, until the moment until the prosecutor general's office gives its confirmation in accordance with the requirements of the law on illustrations and the actual approval of anti-corruption legislation may also not take place, therefore there are still opportunities to drag out the procedure. and this will depend, again, solely on the political will of the leadership of the general prosecutor's office and directly on the people who direct the president of ukraine. his political will is very clearly and uncompromisingly appropriate. everyone has been watching this for the last couple of days so as not to miss an important message, that is, people may not fulfill the political will, which depends on the same political will, because we understand that

appropriate votes should be held regarding the appointment of one or another candidate for the post of prosecutor general, please explain this moment is a question of political will and there is a question of the possibility of legal delays . the contest perfectly understands that if there is such an instruction or if they have an internal reluctance to approve a specific person , they will try to delay this procedure because i agree with you that if the president expressed the political will to finally end this very painful story, he has all the mechanisms to influence the leadership of the general prosecutor's office, especially since now the new head will directly agree with

the president, including and the verkhovna rada of ukraine, and i think that if volodymyr oleksandrovych really showed political will, we will see it in the coming days in the matter of confirming and approving the election of the head of the centralized of the anti-corruption prosecutor's office thank you mrs. elena , i have a question for you. maxim believes that ivo, as i understand it, can sign the chief prosecutor, but he cannot actually sign the appointment of the head of the sap, but i see that other lawyers do not agree with this opinion, this may later be grounds for contesting this appointment, in addition, i will remind that we have a decision of the central administrative court of ukraine, many people consider it illegitimate in general. nevertheless, the appeal against this decision was considered by the sixth court of appeal of the city of kyiv until the 18th. they promised to issue er, well, some kind of verdict in this sense, but as of yesterday, i

didn't see any specifics, so i have a question for you: will these two points become true, that we did not wait for the final decision of the sixth court of appeals, and that the appointment of the head of sap will be signed by the acting responsibilities the prosecutor general then, uh, somehow i don't know the background for contesting all this, in fact, you have to understand that there really are a lot of components, uh, in this matter, political , as well as legally, i also don't see any obstacles for the acting official to actually appoint the head of sap because, well, there are already many examples in history when acting prosecutor generals actually performed their administrative powers and appointed heads of prosecutors' offices of various levels, so i think that in this case, it will also be unprofitable for the authorities to use this argument there for delegitimization that this will mean at the same time the

delegitimization of other decisions of the acting prosecutor general, so it seems unlikely to me that this will be an argument, but i agree that there is actually a large field for delay in the process of appointing a manager, the president already had to speak about the need for such an appointment simply because of the pressure of western partners . that is why it was necessary to somehow move the issue from a dead point. a week actually to a month and two, and the argument including that may be precisely the decision of the district administrative court, which you mentioned here, an important nuance is not only that the decision itself is not a well-founded decision in this case carried out by a judge who is suspected of usurping

power and, in fact, together with the head of this court, mr. vovko, and the winner of the competition , oleksandr klymenko, was actually one of the detectives who investigated the case regarding this judge, that is, you understand that the court was clearly interested and this one circumstance alone is enough in order to cancel the decision of the district administrative court yes, but it was not this arose even though the court actually publicly promised and indicated that it has until july 18 to consider the case. of course, you can delay the appointment of the head of the sap until such time as a decision appears, so what will it be? well, the question is also interesting because in the case there, its own events are unfolding. there is a history of judges who have already recused themselves in this case, well, it is obvious that the court

understands the degree of responsibility, since the appointment of the head of the sap is a condition for applying to the european union, actually, and well, the inserts are enough high in this process, therefore, the actual delay may be one of the political reasons, it also consists in the fact that while performing the duties of the prosecutor general oleksiy symonenko, this is the person who actually merged the case regarding oleg tatarov, that is, he actually illegally changed the jurisdiction of the pre-trial investigation body in this in the case, he took the case, and in the nabu, the changes will be illegal, and in fact it is great, because it is this person, as the acting prosecutor general, who in fact must now sign the appointment of the head of the sap, who was a nabu detective what a sheep the case against tatarov and i don't know how mr. symonenko will get away with it, he won't even get away with it. brother can also appoint

a new prosecutor general because potential candidates have already been announced. like simonenko himself, but he obviously will not have support in the parliament , and the head of e- actually, the committee on legal policy of the parliament calls andrii kostin one of the most likely candidates for the position of prosecutor general. well, if there are appropriate approvals and the will of kostian himself, then obviously he may become such a candidate. by the way, davita rahamia indicated that already in 10 days until the end of this month, this means that a new prosecutor general may be appointed, so if it is not excluded that it is not even vo who will sign the appointment, but the new prosecutor general, well, here is also an interesting point that andriy kostin was also a candidate for the position of the head of sap , but he actually did not pass the stage of integrity, the commission decided that he is not politically neutral

, because he is actually a member of a faction in the parliament, a member of the party, a servant of the people, well, this will not be news because there were other precedents in our modern ukrainian history, i want to ask you a question that always introduced me to the introduction, yes, from the consideration of hateful issues, why do your journalistic circles say this and that and that reason well, now i reflect my hateful question on you rewording and what do your legal circles say about such an urgent resignation of the prosecutor general and the head of the security service of ukraine, what happened and i understand that you can formulate some things aesopian condition, but why so quickly and suddenly, mr. oleksandr? in fact, i think that everything here is very simple, you need to look at the procedure, how it

happened, so first, the parliament. if we talk about the prosecutor general, in may, the law was voted that allowed to remove the actual although it is dubious from the point of view of compliance with the constitution and we see that it was possible to immediately dismiss the e through the parliament, as the procedure provides, but this was not done, first they went through the process of suspension and then dismissal, yes. that is, it is like this a story about a political show like with bakanov sounds like a dictation, because society needs to be given some explanations for the problems that exist in the security sphere and in the sphere of war crimes investigations, bringing people to justice. that is why it was such a show of analyzing flights and laying down, well, making victims in to the society itself for the problems and gaps we have in the sphere of justice and in the sphere of security, maxim, what do you say about this account, they urgently resigned , in particular? well, bakanova, the president's office has

propensity for emotional decisions is directly related to the personal perception of individual people volodymyr oleksandrovich is called because it is obvious that these decisions have been discussed for a certain period of time , at the same time they talked for a very long time about the fact that if you follow this procedure, you need to first understand whether they receive approval from the supreme the council of ukraine at the same time eh if we talk about the situation with mr. bokal, in my opinion there were monkeys eh there was some kind of emotional perception of the personal president considering that the person who headed the security service of ukraine is his close friend, in fact, from a young age, and i think that this was very difficult for him to perceive in the context of a large number of abilities that were revealed, after all, the structure of the security service of ukraine and, apparently, the failure of the leadership of the security service of ukraine to clean up its structure, well, it’s

not enough to just put your person on the er top of er there, i don’t know this mountain of post-soviet er property, which in our country was called the security service of ukraine. well, it was absolutely logical. we shouted that the reform of the people's security service was necessary, that is, the national bank, while ms. venediktova worked as a professor at the department of civil law at kharkiv university, that is, criminal law and the work of the prosecutor's office were a completely new field for her, so if we are talking about the quality of the work of individuals, it is worth first of all talking about their professional competence and the real possibility that they could somehow qualitatively change the work of these structures personnel personnel appointments during the time of president volodymyr oleksandrovich

zelenskyi and one of the weakest in his opinion , because personnel appointments are not made on the basis of professional competences or opportunities for the development of certain institutions, but on the basis of loyalty or non-loyalty of specific persons directly and the leadership of the state, another news e-e journalist iryna romalivska reported that before volodymyr zelenskyi removed ivan bakanov and iryna venediktova from the security service of ukraine and the office the prosecutor general managed to register a crime of implementation due to the fact that the state bureau of investigation in the first days of the full-scale invasion destroyed secret materials for many criminal proceedings, in particular, very important and the articles under which these proceedings were registered are considerable . to the law enforcement agencies ms. elena please comment on this first, is there any protocol according to which the law enforcement agency in case of force majeure

of the situation, it really has to urgently destroy the documents. and secondly, were there grounds for this in the dbr, if it did succeed in this manipulation. there is actually such an order, it provides for the destruction, but the analysis of public information that was made public all- does indicate that at the time of such destruction there were no specific grounds, and first of all, it is known that the destruction actually took place outside the territory that was under serious risk, that is, it was not in kyiv. it was still on the eve of the invasion on february 23, and not since the 24th, there are a lot of questions. here i will say that we, for example, from the anti -corruption center have also sent a statement to the office of the general prosecutor and to the security service regarding these facts , because of course the dbr cannot independently since

it is the dbr that is involved in the destruction of these materials, somehow investigate and find out those questions, so we will wait for the reaction in society, it needs answers. and actually, it is necessary to gather precisely in this story, it clearly casts a shadow on the state bureau of investigation, although here the story is already like this what a stigma there is probably no place to put it, however, under all these circumstances, that is, the heads of the dbr remain in their positions, and for some reason we do not see any complaints from the president's office, well, accordingly. in practice so when we see the already signed and stamped well and accordingly the work book which and which can be which the new prosecutor of the specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office will be able to show but considering the resistance of the system is not one

year of this resistance, well, accordingly, we understand that a fundamentally new player appears in the old , so to speak, general field, and how this can threaten the various political environment or oligarchic environment, of which, as we know, we have almost no more left. well, in fact, we see that the government really sees the threat and the dismissals that took place just now and when the president spoke about the need to appoint the head of the saps and he just dismissed the dictator bakanova, that is, from our point of view, we are talking about such a construction already of a clear, slender vertical of law enforcement agencies , so before appointing the head of the sap, in order to protect himself as much as possible and actually monitor his every step, er, here, in fact

, you need to understand that it will not be easy for the newly appointed head of the sap, if he is appointed, and it will not be easy in these conditions, because the sap itself remains a part of the prosecutor general's office, there are many such subtle points in detail, but how can you influence his activities there, monitor decisions, that is, conditionally, it is necessary to understand that there are some full-time employees office, other people who can monitor there, leak information, and so on , it will definitely not be easy, but it will definitely be better , much better than without a sap leader at all, because today any high-profile investigation can actually be suppressed at the initial stage, that's why that in fact the duties of the sap head are performed today by the prosecutor general, and he can either appoint or remove any prosecutor in the case, now pansimonenko is a person who can actually completely manually block

any investigations, how else in the united states can participate in the supervision of the correctness of the relevant procedures. yes, we understand that if a new pole of power appears in law enforcement agencies , this is the case with the anti-corruption prosecutor. i didn't find something there and so on. well, they didn't start an investigation, or they sent it out, it fell apart or i don't know , it was improperly arranged, it was brought to court, now a potential serious player is appearing, and the already united state will be specifically to whom it is possible to appeal listen, well, the united states of ukraine is now a strategic partner of a-and of which number and america. i apologize. these are now strategic partners of ukraine who are interested in our state resisting the war with the aggressor and ensuring a stable democracy on the eastern

front of the european continent in order to to ensure a stable democracy, and we critically need an infrastructure that will ensure the functioning of the law enforcement system and the rule of law. i really wanted us not to perceived the prosecutor general's office and the new factor of the prosecutor general's office as some opponent or enemy who are only trying to constantly put beams in the wheels, but the very issue of creating a separate anti-corruption infrastructure arose precisely because reforming the entire law enforcement system in ukraine, including the prosecutor general 's office of ukraine, turned out to be too difficult a task at the first stage, that is why the issue of stopping corruption decided to create a separate e-e let 's say infrastructure on the issue of pre-trial investigation on the procedural management of the garden as well as a separate structure in the system of judicial authorities above the anti-corruption court in order

to see and show an example of how law enforcement agencies can function normally in ukraine, how judicial authorities can function in ukraine, this reform is let's say this is indicative for the entire further development of the verkhovyna law sector in ukraine, if it works, it will be able to provide a foundation for a qualitative reformation the system of ukraine and the possibilities, if everything works , we will monitor the possible options, so to speak, thank you, ladies and gentlemen, olena shcherban, a lawyer at the anti-corruption center maksym kostetskyi, a lawyer, next we step on the news, anna and i will introduce them to you , melnyk and the whole team of esprey village journalists, our colleagues, we ask for a word i congratulate anna eva once again, hello colleagues. thank you, i will gladly accept it
