to the globe, we should say that we are interested in ending cooperation with russia and ending the russian occupation of ukraine, and i think that official kyiv should act more persistently . dmytro kuleba, our minister of foreign affairs has already emphasized that iran has been fully and unequivocally warned negative consequences of cooperation and i understand that there is only one step left before ukraine becomes the flagship of the struggle for the next sanctions against iran regarding the breakdown of diplomatic relations. thank you, mr. yevhen yevhen magne the executive director of the institute of world politics was included in the live broadcast of the espresso tv channel. well, we are moving on, we are moving on to other equally important topics, and today the verkhovna rada of ukraine voted in the second reading of the state budget for 2023. the document prepared by the government took into account a number of

comments of people's deputies. some corrections were made. into the text, even though they were rejected in the first reading, what was voted on and what was written in the document, our journalists will tell the budget and the project with many unknowns the government wrote the estimate for 2023 without knowing either how long the war would last or how acute the escalation could be, therefore, macroeconomic forecasts , which often did not come true even in peaceful years, should be treated with extreme caution. moreover, after the first reading, which took place less than a month ago, the cabinet of ministers already significantly corrected so, the government predicts that inflation in 2023 will be 28%, gdp will grow by a little more than 3%, and the average dollar will cost 42 hryvnias and 20 kopecks every second hryvnia in the budget will go to the defense sector, that is more than one

trillion and 140 billion is the second largest item of social security and pension expenses. 835 billion of these funds should be enough for the statutory indexation of pensions in march, but the minimum wage and the living wage next year will not increase at all by uah 6,700 and uah 2,589, respectively, and there is no possibility to increase them, they say to the government and remind in order to finance half of the expenses next year, we will have to borrow a record amount of 38 billion dollars, we can earn only 50 kopecks from every hryvnia , which must be spent on primary needs of ukrainians, the rest is internal borrowing and external borrowing, external aid from our allies, budget funds mainly go to the army and ensuring social payments, well, the fact appears that between the two readings of the estimate, expenditures

suddenly increased by almost uah 67 billion, and this money will not go to defense, for example, ukravtodor will receive an additional 7 billion for the construction and repair of roads, and perhaps the most indignant were the additional over one and a half billion hryvnias for the ministry of culture, they will be directed mainly to finance the national telethon, despite the fact that in the first reading this amendment was rejected by the deputies, this budget was falsified, the parliament defeated the amendment on the allocation of funds for the so-called marathon, but strangely one and a half billion, not a propaganda machine , returned in the budget, where there are no funds for raising pensions and social benefits, which is completely dependent on external of loans, generous financing of oligarchic channels and russian-language television raises questions among some deputies about the creation of the so-called fund for liquidation of the consequences of armed aggression over uah 35 billion, because the government will decide where to direct its funds with the approval of the budget

committee, there is a fear that this will become a new sociocon and the money will go not where it is needed, but where the majority deputies want, who traditionally do pr in their constituencies at the expense of the state. well, of course, an informative plot we are now moving on to the analysis of the approved draft state budget with our next guest, this is roksolana podlasa, people's deputy of ukraine, deputy chairman of the committee on economic development, slava to ukraine p roxolano congratulations to the heroes glory of the day good day we wanted to ask you right away, so to speak, and ask what kind of story it is with one and a half billion hryvnias, which ended up, so to speak, in the combined basket, not supporting the so-called telethon in the first reading, so to speak and they were thrown out. yes, and now everything is back. well, i

think that support is not quite the right word to use. we will turn away this financing of the production of the national telethon. i think that we can discuss here whether we need a telethon on the eighth or ninth months of full-scale war, and is it time to cancel it? i think it is a fair discussion, but until it has been canceled, the channels participating in this marathon receive funds for the production of content because they do not, according to their concept , speak like this always and usually accordingly , it is much more difficult for them to sell advertising in the marathon , and i am not even sure that it is allowed to have commercial advertising in the intervals between the telethon, so it is logical that the state compensates them for participating in this project for the fact that they work

and we need to pay them salaries. it’s just that a miracle happened in commissions for the second mrs. roksolana. what in the budget do you submit to the first reading of the readings to the first reading and the facts and they are accordingly we vote them accordingly when we consider the budget in the first reading and before the first reading there was a vote in the verkhovna rada which overturned this amendment, after which the budget was returned to the cabinet of ministers. the cabinet of ministers reviewed the estimate and returned this amount, in fact , as they planned from the very beginning to have this money there, they were there first, then the deputies did not

support it in the hall, then the government returned it and the deputies have already supported this project in general, those who categorically disagreed with the state budget did not vote for it. the adopted draft budget stabilizes the macroeconomic situation in the country, or is it more like this disciplinary moment regarding finances, how will the situation develop in general, the situation will develop in this direction, the situation will be difficult. i will not hide this because the budget of the 23rd year is a total economy regime infrastructure projects, all large-scale investment projects previously carried out by the state before the full-scale invasion, they had to be canceled in the 22nd year and in the

23rd year, respectively, and there will be no funds for this either there is one program left for the entrepreneurship support fund - it is for loans 5 7 9, but compared to the funding that was in the 21st year, it was reduced to about 15 billion. if i am not mistaken, it is good that these funds remained because these funds will be able to be used by entrepreneurs for and for the relocation of the business and not for the restoration of the business if some production facilities were destroyed and to receive a soft loan on which you need to pay interest for several years if it is not for the reconstruction and restoration of the destroyed business with on the one hand, this is good, on the other hand, we understand that the budget has very limited opportunities to stimulate the economy due to the expenditure part , because as your plot correctly stated, half, almost half, 40% we direct to

defense and, in fact, everything we earn as a state from tax customs and the national bank, we will direct it to defense, all the remaining taxes fall from the budget deficit plane, on which we will borrow or ask for irreversible assistance from our international partners, that is, in fact, all 835 billion for social security will be provided to us by international partners. well, actually, about the signals about covering this deficit, the size of its 38 billion is really a record for completely objective reasons. but nevertheless, is there already understanding and support from the partners that everything it will overlap and we will reach at least a good, strong zero, so uh. this is the qualitative difference between

the budget of the 23rd year and the 22nd. it is precisely in these agreements because we planned the 2022 budget with a very small deficit and when it started a full-scale invasion of the russian federation. the budget deficit grew very quickly, and the government in such an emergency regime sought funds from international partners, asked for them in various international institutions, and so on. the 23rd year will be much more predictable and predictable in this regard. because preliminary work has already been carried out, because i have an agreement in principle with the united states and the european union that they will provide one and a half billion dollars or euros every month there, the exchange rate is approximately the same now, together it will be three billion dollars per month, and the deficit is 3.2 billion dollars per month, and here

we will collect 200 million in other countries through credit agreements through grant agreements ms. roksolana also wanted to ask you about the situation with the possible need to cover the expenses, we are talking about the global fundamental expenses of our energeticians as a result of massive russian attacks on energy facilities, please at the expense of the reserve fund of the cabinet of ministers, yes at the expense of ukrenergo, and as far as i know the ministry of energy, which coordinates the process of restoration and reconstruction of damaged facilities. they try not to distinguish between private oblenergo and state oblenergo, because we understand that ukrainians need light, regardless of who is their operator, whether it is the state or a private company, and it is here for now that everything is working

stably, in 2023 we will also be able to finance the restoration of the energy infrastructure from the fund for the elimination of the consequences of armed aggression, by the way, this was a deputy amendment and i think that it will be actively used for quality work and for quality work on the live air of espresso tv channel roksolana the scoundrel, people's deputy of ukraine, deputy head of the committee on economic development well, next, for your attention, the project of our colleagues, a judicial role with tetyana shustrova, antin borkovskyi and i say goodbye until tomorrow, see this week in the judicial control program with tetyana shustrova, judge bereginya is a drunkard, why did the candidate for the supreme council of justice overturn the sentence and bring dozens of drunken drivers to responsibility of drivers who sit down drunk behind the wheel and glue their own road accident contestant of the year as

an unscrupulous candidate for the vrp entered the competition for the highest qualification commission of judges with one of the members of this colleague and incredible judicial intuition how to find myself abroad on the first day of a full-scale war i congratulate in broadcasts, judicial control, the judicial system of ukraine needs a thorough reboot, this is one of the requirements of our accession to the european union, a new composition of the high council of justice and the high qualification commission of judges of ukraine is currently being formed, which later, the system should be cleaned of unscrupulous representatives and we will talk about it today, but first, before the news, the specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office reported suspicion of intentional non- declaration of property of the judge of the kyiv district administrative court, oleksandra braginia, in

2020 and 2021. she refused to submit an electronic declaration, stating that due to religious beliefs cannot get an electronic digital signature, while making dozens of decisions every day, bragina signed them with the same digital signed, the national agency for the prevention of corruption refused to accept the declaration of the bridegroom in paper form, later the investigation came to the conclusion that, according to the law , non-religious beliefs prevent judges from reporting their wealth, and the banal desire to hide the property of the scandalous judge of the kyiv district administrative court, kyryll gardnyk, will be tried as an administrator for an offense in the case against he has already been referred to court, it is not known for sure what exactly garnyk did, however, according to the information of the de jure foundation, it is about driving under the influence

kyrylo harnykh is a former member of the russian star factory and, in addition to his creativity and creative streak, harnykh is known in particular for making dubious decisions regarding protest actions. he repeatedly and unjustifiably banned peaceful gatherings from 2011 to 2019. his family's expenses amounted to almost uah 13 million, and this for 9 million more than official incomes, the judicial reform in ukraine is in full swing, and while the process of cleaning the system from unscrupulous representatives continues, the turn to the judicial corps has not yet reached judges with far from flawless biographies continue to make decisions on behalf of ukraine, today we will tell you about judge olena

kruhlina. she works at the kharkiv court of appeal, although she became a member of the high council of justice and is very sympathetic to the drunkard during her judicial career . drunkenness, in most cases the judge simply gives the drivers bail and closes the case, she made a lot of decisions that we overturned the decisions of the courts in the first instance on arrest to the responsibility of the drivers who sit down drunk. they are driving the road accident. if the driver's license was revoked in the first instance, the court very often overturned such a decision and applied such a very mild punishment , such as bail. of the labor

team, olena kruzhylina is so used to this practice that she did not even invent anything special, in one of the cases she handed over a drunk driver as surety to the team, which he himself heads, in another she did not deprive the driver of his license because, as it were, a violator i need a car to do my job . elena kruzelinia also needs a car. it's not easy. in 2020 , she bought a mazda - it's a 2019 x5. i'll spend almost a million hryvnias. in the end, according to the judge's declaration, her family members also don't deny themselves expensive purchases in september 2020 . kruzhileina bought three plots of land in the balakliya district of the kharkiv region with a total area of ​​almost 3,000 square meters for more than 60,000 hryvnias. among her savings, kruzhileina

listed 280,000 hryvnias, 25,000 €, and $32,000 in cash, he has two apartments in kharkiv, bought in 1995 and 2018, however, the judge did not specify their value earlier. instance in the case of a road accident there it was a question of compensation for damage caused by a road accident and they significantly reduced the amount of compensation er later the supreme court canceled such a decision indicating not very er significant violations that were admitted by the judges of the appeals court. and actually on the basis of this, the highest qualification of the commission of judges recommended the release of this circle, but the supreme council

of justice refused to do so. this story took place in 2012, at that time the entire judicial system was controlled by the administration. in order for president yanukovych, the so-called gray cardinal was deputy head andriy portnov, he actually managed the supreme council of justice, so by not giving consent to the release of the circle, he could take it under his control by providing the necessary decisions in the right moment is pointed out by the experts, then i, who should be fired, but who is not fired , owes something to this. for example, a tailor or his assistants , he finds himself on the hook and then he has to follow instructions because he understands that if not, he can be fired at any moment, it is very this is a very common story precisely in order to make such stories impossible in the future. ukraine is reforming and

in some places completely restarting the judicial system; independence and professionalism of judges and prosecutors after a three-year hiatus, the higher qualifications commission of judges is actually created from scratch. this body forms the judicial corps, transfers judges from one court to another, and also conducts qualification evaluations and makes recommendations to the high council of justice on the appointment of members of these judicial bodies should be independent, impartial, bribery and adhere to ethical norms and demonstrate impeccable behavior in professional activities and in personal life, the legality of the sources of origin of the property should not cause doubts and the lifestyle should correspond to the status of the competition for the vrp

, the competition for the higher qualification commission was recently completed, it is still ongoing, however, as we have already managed to see, far from all applicants can objectively assess themselves for compliance with the criteria of integrity and professional ethics and stop in time, we have already told you about one of the candidates for the high council of justice, the judge of the vinnytsia district administrative court oleksandr vilchynskyi. he has crazy fortunes that it is difficult to explain and there are many stains on the judicial career and what was our surprise when we saw him in the competition for the higher qualification

commission , one can only envy this self-confidence. administrative court since 2015 for three terms in a row, this violates the legislation on the term of holding an administrative position, which provides that it is not possible to occupy the seat of the head of the court more than two terms, however, oleksandr vilchynskyi is well versed in the tricks of maneuvering, the expert of the de jure foundation, stepan berko, explains how the law was circumvented. they didn't get it because that's why spain can be embraced by vilchynsky once again. the situation is the same on the eve of the full-scale invasion of russia. on february 22, vilchinsky writes a statement on early

the termination of the powers of the head of the court and goes on vacation for a whole month or more, he has time to go abroad, such facts definitely raise questions for an outside observer like this. the beginning of the vacation coincides with the date of the large-scale invasion and this judge is going abroad, we do not know if oleksandr vilchynskyi has plans to sit in the chair of the head of the vinnytsia district administrative court again, but there are already many questions for him oleksandr vilchynskyi lives in his mother's estate with an area of ​​more than 630 m² in the suburbs of vinnytsia. locals call this area a royal village. many representatives of the vinnytsia elite settled here. in general,

oleksandr vilchynskyi's family has a lot of real estate , but he still lives with his mother. in 2017, the judge's wife bought an apartment in the center of kyiv. in the elite pechersk district, accommodation in this building costs from 5 million uah. million hryvnias, the declared value of this apartment is four times less than the market value, that is, it is not clear how they always manage to buy real estate at very low prices , even this value is still more than half a million hryvnias higher, well, if the total declared income of bilchynskyi and his wife for this year, not to mention the funds that need to be

invested for repairs or any type of decoration of this apartment, that is, not even taking into account these things in 2018, the wife of vilchynsky morning land a plot of land in st. lityn a in 2021 declared an entire hotel and restaurant complex dvor litynskyi with an area of ​​almost 2,000 m², on booking it was possible to book this hotel as early as 2019, but in the declarations for the 19th and 20th years oleksandr vilchynskyi i forgot to mention it. in 2019, vilshinskyi's wife also purchased land plots in the elite village of kozyn near kyiv with an area of ​​2,000 m². for only 590,000 hryvnias, which is at least several times lower than the market value of land in this

area, their 23-year-old daughter bought a neighboring plot the daughter has no information about any of her official income, what is it, what could explain the purchase of a rather valuable plot of land in such and such a settlement, meanwhile, she is not a pensioner, the mother of oleksandr vilchynskyi, in addition to the huge estate where the judge himself lives, has another smaller one on 245 m²."

they arise, but the former head of the vinnytsia district administrative court, oleksandr vilchynskyi, according to declarations for previous years, has nothing but a car and a motorcycle. although he still has some good friends. for example, a friend of the judge, the scandalous deputy chairman of the district administrative court of kyiv, yevhen abvlov, together with the chairman, pavel vovko, he is suspected in a criminal case of usurpation of power, our colleagues from the investigative information filmed how a few years ago oleksandr vilchynskyi came to congratulate ablov on his birthday, he celebrated in the company of a member of the higher qualification commission judges of volodymyr butenko a little later during the qualification evaluation of oleksandr

vilchynskyi butenko will be the head of the commission which will, of course, recognize the head of the district administrative the court is virtuous and appropriate for the position he holds, despite the many facts of vilchynskyi’s biography, which contradict this, despite the evaluation of experts and the conclusions of the public integrity council, he should not have been confirmed as one who can administer justice, but unfortunately, the high qualification commission of judges did not take into account the composition of the chamber that considered this decision where did such a mr. butenko belong, whom vilchynskyi obviously knows because they attended the birthday of one odious judge, judge ablov himself, together interview mr. vilchynskyi did not in any way declare that he has any conflict of interest with one of the members of this colleague. this is how this

panel actually recognized the panel as meeting the requirements of integrity. now judge oleksandr vilchynskyi wants to be a member of the supreme council of justice and of the higher qualification commission of judges of ukraine, where will they be taken? by the way, to participate in the competition, the last candidate must provide recommendations. of the judicial administration of ukraine, a person involved in a criminal case, in particular, he appears in the vovka tapes, where, if these cells are to be believed, and the investigation, in fact, mr. holodniuk appointed persons loyal to the judge vovka to the higher qualification commission in exchange for the fact that the judge

wog pavlo vovk in his district administrative court of the city of kyiv will block and will block the decisions concerning mr. holodnyuk. we hope that the competitive commission for the selection of members of the higher qualification commission of judges of ukraine will take into account all the facts of oleksandr's biography that we have mentioned vilchynskyi and will make a just decision against him. and for today, i had all this under judicial control, and i am tetyana shustrova. if you are aware of the facts of corruption in the judicial system, or if you want to report about a judge exceeding his powers or making illegal decisions, write to me on facebook or to the mail whose address you see on your screens good luck and we 'll meet in exactly a week
