in places where there were forests next to the road, people simply sawed trees with chainsaws or two-handed saws, blocked the road and thus delayed the movement of the russian salons to kyiv, that is, they had to waste time cutting down and cleaning up these trees and this delayed their movement to kyiv i would like to ask about a very important battle that took place in sumy oblast - the battle of okhtyrka, which lasted for quite a long time , and this road to poltava oblast, well, actually to kharkiv there, but it is important that it also goes there the enemies wanted to break through to the oil reserves by this route, and that's why andriy disappeared, now he will appear from us again, the battle for ohtyrka was very important, because it goes further south. there to the center of ukraine, this is first of all the road to poltava, i want to say once again well, - the second is the oil field and the gas

fields, and it was very important for the enemy to break through the okhtyrka and go to the poltava oblast and there on the road from poltava to kyiv. and the heroism of the battle of ohtyrka, which was not given here in principle, the enemy could break through this city and get to where he wanted to go. look, well , first of all, you should not exaggerate the importance of this battle, but you need to understand the situation in which the people in okhtyrka found themselves, who repelled the enemy, and units with heavy weapons were withdrawn from the region there was no one to fight in particular, but the okhtyr engineering field is based in okhtyrka, this is a part of it, as you understand, which is armed with er, pontoons, bridges , that is, it is not their function to actually fight, and there remained in okhtyrka some part of these people who did not there were uh, the borders of the region, and when russian uh

columns appeared in okhtyrka, uh, they were repulsed by uh, well, people armed with small arms, that is, they were just people with machine guns, i don't have any information. soldiers, officers of this okhtyr engineering regiment, or is it possible that they are reservists, or that they are partisans who simply served once and they somehow ended up with weapons, i just really don’t know, but fact for fact is that fighting russian tanks with armored personnel carriers in gasoline trucks became organized units people who are armed simply with small arms and automatic weapons. and when they, when the russians got a cut-off, the okhtyrs, when they suffered heavy losses there, they got angry and began to smash the okhtyr from the sky with artillery, they destroyed the tet there

, and let me remind you that it was winter, the heating season had not yet ended, they destroyed there is a thermal power station, well , it can be called terrorism, an obvious violation of the rules of war, they destroyed this military unit there, they gutted a lot of private houses there with artillery, or something that their so-called high-precision weapons do not hit anywhere, or maybe because they just did it on purpose here, we unfortunately do not know, but the fact is that the repulse of the enemy from okhtyrka was given by units that did not have heavy weapons. well, i understand that the enemy actually and it was not possible to go further there to poltava oblast. how important was it? according to your opinion, how important was it that the enemy did not break through there? well, poltava oblast, we understand this and the industrial region. i will remind you that for our viewers, poltava oblast was

the largest taxpayer in ukraine, well, in the sense that this is the richest region. well, that is how it has historically developed, as they say, and of course it is also industry and mining and processing plants and oil and gas fields that belong to the state and various businessmen. well, we know this road, the kharkiv road -kyiv, which also runs through poltava, then to myrhorod, where it was also possible to exit through the pyryats to boryspil and so on. that is, it was a key key story. materials and, of course, the logistical history that gave the enemy the opportunity to move on. if he had broken through there , poltava region was, let's say, virtuous in those days, and people here could leave, and in principle, how did it support it? how important was it that they refused to continue fighting? after a while, did they run out of time, or as you said , the losses they suffered, they decided that it is his uncle, we will go by other roads, see your question shows that you

understand very little about this war, but since the leader of this the representative of the audience, we can so massively audience and will have to explain, look, uh, they did not intend to capture poltava, they just foolishly tried to slip into kyiv, just as they did not intend to capture sumy, they did not intend to crush the okhtyrka, in fact, they suffered losses there and were embittered by they began to crush it. i certainly do not exaggerate the humanism of the russians. in fact, after this invasion, i refuse to consider them human because people do not behave the way they do, but in fact, the battle for okhtyrka was an accident, uh, they just, well , these courageous people from okhtyr began to fight there with the russians, not having heavy weapons, not having enough ammunition, not because they had such an order, but because they just wanted to

. it turned out that they got stuck in the battles in sumy oblast where there were no organized units, well, you can also call it a miracle or a coincidence, because there were simply many people with a partisan spirit who just wanted to. i don't know if i can say it in let's say that we wanted to destroy the occupiers so that you would understand that at the entrances to the sumy region , sumshchyna is a partisan region . i don't understand russians. it's just that everything around me these days in february resisted everyone who could, someone, that is, someone, the team of the molotov cocktail party, someone delivered some food to the military, someone himself in sneakers and without camouflage went and took a machine gun and somehow tried to fight there, or at least to patrol the city to protect it from marauders , even bandits tried to

prevent looting, smugglers began to set up eyes, what do we call them , manivtsi, or whatever, when these tropes were to be supplied by them bridge in food or some other goods that he needs, this is the resistance, the self-organized resistance of the ukrainian people, he was not taken into account by the russian general staff for one reason only, because they have no people, they have subjects, they do not have a nation like we have, which is used to fighting for itself to defend democracy on the maidan and now to defend their independence from the enemy, this is just such a people that does not exist in russia, and they are precisely because of this, they made this important mistake from the battle of okhtyrka that they did not allow a russian colony to enter poltava, only because poltava you see as a target base for the sumy and kharkiv that it

was able to receive displaced persons there, that it was able to organize some hubs there for the supply of humanitarian aid and, in particular, to prevent russians from entering the normal international highway to kyiv to kyiv kharkiv, by which they could have reached kyiv much more easily, they were forced to bypass kyiv somewhere near chernihiv somewhere on the outskirts of the sumy region, i.e. let's put it this way, the battle of okhtyrka was an important violation of the occupiers' logistics, just like any other partisan actions that disrupted the logistics of fuel and ammunition for the russians was important in order to delay their advance. do you know, because i was looking for different sources, i tried to understand for myself where from, from different regions, with what forces, roughly, they invaded

enemies, if the situation with the invasion of chernihiv oblast is more or less clear, also with the invasion of kyiv oblast, from the north, from the north, in fact, from one or the other bank of the dnieper, and with regard to sumy oblast, have they also accumulated the same large forces here as they did from the north, or here everything there were still smaller columns entering the sumy region. look, they were columns of hundreds of armored vehicles, so you understand, the army that invaded through the sumy region is the first guards tank army, it is the elite, the elite, if you go to wikipedia there now and read there is a pro-taman division, please, an anti-peace division, you will see that these are units with five guard designations each. that is, it is the best that there is in general in this russian army. it is the elite of the elite . to invade the

territory of ukraine of the countries of europe, that is, if anything was normal in them at all, then it was driving through sumshchyna and this is all so-called normal, it was losing tanks in absolutely stupid ways , for example, the villagers simply cut down trees on the road and the russians are driving on this wet black earth and the tanks load two tanks into the black earth, they got stuck in the black earth, they got out of the tanks, ran to their colleagues, to their other russian soldiers, they took two more tanks to pull these two out and lost two more tanks just in the fight with chernozem and that's you. well, you understand that the ukrainian army didn't show up for the war at that time , that is, two peasants just sawed a log in the middle of the road, threw it and disabled four russian tanks from the elite first guards tank army. there was another case of the russian idiocy of the army, when they drove a 40-caton tank through a five

-ton city, a car tank ran over this bridge with its caterpillar overturned and fell down the tower into a small river, three soldiers, the remains died, the tank got a trophy sumy teroborodny and such cases when they lost equipment simply on idiocy, i can list all this ether, for example, they had an artillery position near the village of velyki bobryk, and there were batteries standing there, and they left with this hundred. wet ukrainian chernozem. i have these shots from a drone when this howitzer is destroyed. and next to it, a t-72 tank is destroyed. it was also blown up by russian soldiers. the ukrainian artillery did not finish there at that time. how did they lose it? they went to the firing position of the parsnips. they shot black soil in ukrainian villages and then tried to

leave the field back to the road, and the road is on such a slight rise, and this howitzer is just in it, or the gearbox is jammed, or something technical happened, they were forced to the equipment is very expensive, the cost is somewhere around 5 million dollars, it costs dances from the pluses. thank you very much . we already have anxiety. the editor of sumy public was in touch with us and we literally have five to seven minutes left, we will talk with dmytro zhyvitskyi, the head of the sumy regional military administration. it's time and i today, in my program, i am talking about the worldview of the battles that saved ukraine, and today i called this e-e series sumy impasse, exactly where the enemies entered and then with very small forces were able to pass. here is your opinion. after all, what was the key story of the fact that sumy region did not fully surrender to the enemy to break through to

kyiv and close the ring around the capital, uh, because we talked to mr. andriy kamchenko, he says that the armed forces were deployed there even earlier to the luhansk region, and the police were not so many, and actually, what was the partisans' terror defense who played this key role in the fact that the enemy fell into this trap, well, by and large, the spirit of ukrainians and our glorious past played a key role. all of sumy oblast stood up for the defense of the sumy oblast and already on february 24, when we already understood that this was a full-scale invasion and that the regular troops in the region were very few in number. these were small units of paratroopers. these are small units.

were in the north of the region of the national guard , which had not yet been fully formed and not all battalions were even armed, so here such resistance from everyone was important, because on the 24th we were already together and students and young people prepared molotov cocktails, i made a decision and gave the order to open e-e reception points for glass containers at a second-hand store in order to e-e prepare these e- hell smoothies worked with enterprises that had used oil or was there oil at car companies or on enterprises where there was a lot of road transport, where you could get oil at gas stations, took gasoline, and by the evening of the 24th, not even in one

regional center, we had about 3,000 molotov cocktails ready, which were er all around the perimeter of the city er the same thing happened in the districts of the region and they did not expect resistance. perhaps the first thing that played such a decisive role in keeping the enemy in sumy oblast was that they did not expect that they would have any resistance at all . er, er, that's it that our people were much more motivated than the russian military, and further there, the problems of the russians themselves also played a significant role in the defense of sumy region, in the defense of kyiv, and in not allowing this psycho to the second army the world further because of the mass er because they started to get scared and

began not to understand who, after all, was meeting days of the war, we immediately started looking for weapons, and that's what we are already doing later, we will tell you how it happened. in this way, it was delivered, it was distributed, in the literal sense, simply in trunks across the fields, eh, from other regions, weapons were brought to us in bulk, and in this way it was committed against these units and farmers who had small arms in their hands these were partisans, many groups of 20-30 people were formed around just such local powerful farmers, there were either former participants in hostilities, there were employees of

the police or security services, or pensioners the military or the policemen who understood a little there in the tactics of handling weapons, and they were just such er scattered very often, in which units of our partisans and defense fighters, who in the city of sumy, together with local residents, er, were practical weapons were distributed to everyone who was ready to take up weapons and there were no fights like on gerasim kondratiev street. yes, on kurska street, on kursk avenue, where did the crowd come from, and just the fact that there was such a coordinated work of everyone and the communal workers did not of business, when they were able to quickly close the city of sumy, close the main cities, and by and large , our big cities were not occupied, they were surrounded, they were blocked, but the

occupation did not take place, and there the whole of ukraine, the whole world watched and was surprised because what was happening in the sumy region, it added to the spirit of our colleagues in other regions and in chernihiv oblast and kyiv oblast, and everyone understood that ukraine would not surrender like that, so it was precisely this popular impulse and such an impulse of resistance that played a decisive role, then the enemy was at a loss for them. there was communication between some units, there was a bad organization, that's why it happened, and that's how it happened here, many factors played a role and determined literally in a minute we had an air alarm in lviv oblast . they stayed there for a few days and reached the brovary region, i think, if again i may be wrong. did they somehow go through konotop or by what forces did some of the columns , so to speak, leave a bunch and went on to the capital, there was a passage they controlled the track

kiptibachivsk is the kyiv-moscow route from the konotop direction to bypass the city of romny, through romny itself, the romny themselves, they did not go to the bypass of the city of romny, and a little small units passed there, but the main part was stopped first, the most important thing was done by the people of sumy and local partisans, students, young people were practically involved, they all drove out in their own cars and directly from the cars threw cocktails from the windows of these hellish lanes for tanks on armored vehicles and poured russian directly in the cities they were afraid of the armored vehicles, they didn't go any further , they immediately started moving to some village, then stayed there, and then after a few days , the artillery arrived, the artillerymen began to fire at them, and

then it became clear that they would definitely not go anywhere. thank you very much. take care. may god protect ukraine now, there is an air alert throughout ukraine, who is occupying crimea, dmytro shavytskyi, the head of the sumy regional military administration, was with us. it was a worldview program. we will finish a little earlier, because now we have to go to the shelter e-e program worldview myrot manservice stories about the battles that saved ukraine today it is possible to be a little shorter but we talked about the so-called sumy trap which closed and did not allow the enemy to break through with numerous columns of his first guard tank army over the capital in fact it is possible in many ways and saved kyiv or at least gave kyiv the opportunity to fight the enemy from the northern direction, but not from the western direction, because there they bypassed the zhytomyr highway, but definitely did not give the enemy opportunities to approach from the side of sumy oblast, it is the heroic defense of the sumakh okhtyrkas. the konotop witches stopped the enemy there. and the heroic partisans of the teroboron. thank you for being with us. watch this week's

program of judicial control with tetyana shustrova. the new old head, as the re-elected head of the volyn court of appeal, released his colleagues from responsibility close the proceedings of the case on administrative offenses against everyone are waiting for drunk driving, for which the scandalous judge oaskudyt will be tried continues to issue the decision continues to live, buy property, and what decisions of kirill garnyk brought russian peace to ukraine , and a decision was made to ban peaceful gatherings in connection with the visit to the city of kyiv of the president of the federation and the patriarch of kyiv, this is judicial control, and i am tetyana shustrova since 2016 in ukraine judicial reform is underway, its successful completion as soon as possible is one of the main factors that will help ukraine to maintain the status of a candidate country and continue its further path to the

european union, the key tasks at the moment are the complete reboot of the main judicial bodies of the supreme court the council of justice and the higher qualification commission of judges, as a result, the most scandalous district administrative court of kyiv in ukraine should be liquidated, and due to the full-scale invasion of russia, this link of the re form is postponed and odious judges continue to increase their fortunes by making dubious decisions in the name of ukraine, today we will tell you about one of them, but first to the news, the former judge of the north donetsk city court of the luhansk region, ruslan yukhymko, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for corruption, given the legal storage of weapons in in 2015, the detectives of the national anti-corruption bureau exposed the judge together with an accomplice to receiving a bribe. he demanded and received four

thousand dollars for refusing to comply with the request of the prosecutor's office, and due to the imperfection of the judicial system, while the verkhovna rada granted permission to remove yukhymuk's immunity, he took advantage of judicial immunity and fled to russia so the higher anti-corruption court sentenced ruslana khimuka in absentia. this story is very revealing and demonstrates the urgent need for a fully functioning higher the council of justice is the only one with the constitutional authority to grant permission for the detention of a judge in the volyn court of appeal, the new and old chairman was re-elected to this position, viktor gaponchuk. he has been a judge since 2005, first of the lyubeshiv district court, and in 2010, yanukovych appointed him as a judge of the court of appeal of the volyn region, viktor

gaponchuk is known for his ambiguous decisions , for example, in 2017 he released his colleague, the judge of the lutsk district court andrii sipychuk, from punishment, he was convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol and in this decision, due to an alleged procedural violation for three rescue cases, an administrative offense against the investigator andrii yevhenovich, about bringing him to justice under the second part of article 123 of the criminal code of ukraine , to close the proceedings of an administrative offense against the sivchuk, andriy ivanovich, about bringing him to justice under the first part of the article 130 of the code of administrative offenses of 2018 , colleagues of the judges with the participation of gaponchuk significantly reduced the sentence of volodymyr migas, who in 2016

in 2016, a drunk driver hit a 16-year-old lyceum student as a result of a traffic accident. the schoolboy was seriously injured. the driver tried to flee the scene of the accident. however, he soon collided with two more cars and had to stop . the court sentenced megas to four years in prison, but the gaponchuk panel changed this decision to three years. complete at the same time excluding the aggravating circumstance that migas committed the crime while intoxicated under the appeal court, then a large protest action took place viktor gaponchuk has a large family of judges and influential relatives he is a cousin of the wife of the chairman of the cassation administrative court of the supreme court of ukraine, mykhailo smakovych, in 2018 gaponchuk participated in the competition for the higher qualification

commission of judges and did not pass. together with his family, they use an office apartment of 80 m². habanchuk notes that he does not have his own car since 2013. he has been sitting on his father's mitsubishi outlander 2013 car, worth more than 304,000 hryvnias, meanwhile, his wife olena gaponchuk bought a new toyota rav4 hybrid in 2020 for uah 1 million 125,000. let's note that gaponchuk's wife earned 10 times less than uah 120,500 in the 20th year. the judge's annual salary is uah 1 million, 860,000, and

while his wife is spending crazy funds for a crossover gaponchuk with his judge's salary, which is not at all the minimum, takes loans in 2020, he borrowed almost uah 640,000 in cash and did not indicate the funds in the accounts, although the family had bank accounts, we called viktor gaponchuk to to talk about his efficiency and integrity. hello mr. viktor, this is a judicial control program on the espresso tv channel. you were recently re-elected as the head of the volynsky district court. how effective do you consider yourself to be in this position ? and in general, questions about your

judicial decisions, the date of the assessment, well, look , just in 2017, you released your colleague from punishment, well, that is, if you have any questions please come, we hope that the successor will conduct a qualification assessment, which will be conducted by the newly formed higher qualification commission of judges, which was formed as part of the judicial reform, will carefully investigate all the facts of the biography of the head of the volyn court of appeal and will make a fair decision regarding viktor gaponchuk. the district administrative court of kyiv is known for numerous corruption scandals. detectives suspect the head of the court . pavla vovka and his colleagues in the creation of a criminal group with the aim of seizing power, while vovka's own brother was exposed for having received a huge bribe of one hundred

thousand dollars to transfer to judges for a certain decision . last year, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi , finally submitted to the verkhovna rada for consideration a draft law on the liquidation of the scandalous court. its consideration was planned to begin after the restart of the high council of justice and the high qualification commission of judges of ukraine and through a full-scale war, everything did not go according to plan, so the liquidation of oask is postponed in the meantime , vovka's friends and publicists continue to administer justice by my colleagues, this is the district judge of the administrative court, kyrylo garnyk, recently he was caught drunk driving and now the judge himself is a defendant. and kyrylo harnyk, a former member of the russian star factory, he sings even now, but

on a yamaha clainova piano worth about $5,000, all together, all of us from his environment, the judge is known with his dubious decisions and baseless bans on peaceful gatherings, in particular, in 2013, he banned a protest against the visit of russian president vladimir putin and patriarch kirill to ukraine, so really a decision was made to prohibit peaceful gatherings in connection with the arrival of the president of the federation to the city of kyiv and
