said that a country that does not respect its own people will not respect its neighbors, this is how it happened, taking into account the political situation in russia and taking into account the fact that russia has now unleashed a large-scale war against ukraine, president zelenskyi said in his speech that russia is waging a terrorist war against ukraine and is terrorizing not only ukraine, but also the village of europe, and the president of the european parliament roberta medtsova said that europe stands with ukraine and will remain as long as necessary and that ukraine is now fighting not only for our freedom and also for the sake of values, including european values, let's listen to roberto matsola and volodymyr zelensky today we are awarding the most prestigious award of the european parliament and may it be dedicated to all those brave ukrainian women and men on the ground to all those whom we have open hearts received in their homes and all those who lost their loved ones. i know that the brave people of ukraine will not give up and let me assure you that we will not give up either. glory to ukraine

glory to ukraine i congratulate you from all those who are fighting and working for the sake of ukraine and for the sake of freedom for the sake of what you are. it is impossible to imagine the life of europe without ukraine and without freedom, and not only because it will be simply untrue, but also because any attempt depriving europe of ukraine and freedom is always a crime and we see such a crime now, the terrorist war of russia against ukraine and europe, but when we win now, ukrainians and all europeans, we will win just like this, so that there will never be another attempt to deprive europe

important support for democracy to the ukrainian people, who have been bravely fighting for their democratic future for 10 months, the russians are trying to close the information vacuum completely and kill in the heads of the people in the occupied territories their propaganda that the civilized world has abandoned them, that ukraine will never return and so on, instead, our people resist and demonstrate their opposition every day for 10 months and this award is for them and this is another of the messengers from the european community from the international community that no one has forgotten and will definitely return to this territory and this is support for our residents . the sakharov prize was established in 1988, this is the main the award is practically very much for freedom of conscience given by the european parliament for the first time. by the way, the laureate of the award in 1988 was the legendary nelson mandela, a fighter for the proteid, and then he arrived as the president of the south african

the republic's first laureate from ukraine in the 18th year was the film director andriy oleg sentsov, but he was then in a russian prison and received this award the very next year in the 19th year, also after the activists of the hungarian autonomous district of which the chinese accuses him of abandoning hail and accuses separatism of the belarusian opposition in the 20th year and oleksiy navalnyi . years ago by the genocide of the ukrainian people, i spoke with rodoslav sikorsky, a member of the european parliament from poland, once the minister of defense and foreign affairs of poland. he said and accepted exactly the same policy of stalin with the current policy of putin against ukraine . tsarist russia and soviet repression today putin openly declares that the goal of his

war is the liquidation of ukraine as a separate people and a separate state, this cannot be allowed and we we declare by giving the sakharov prize and passing the resolution recognizing the holodomor as genocide . having passed all the laws that the european union demanded from ukraine as a candidate for eu membership, in order to start negotiations with the european union next year, these are the last days were very productive for ukraine, a well-known publication very involved in politics called president zelenskyi the smartest person in europe, and they also called him the dumbest person in the world. time magazine, the spirit of ukraine, also identified president zelenskyi as the person of 2022. he

literally just received the nobel peace prize the center of civil liberties of oleksandra matviychuk therefore, so to speak, the harvest is, but with this decision, this sakharov prize, the european parliament united europe wanted to send a signal of admiration for ukrainian courage, as well as solidarity with ukraine and the leadership and the ukrainian people, please thank you very much rostyslav khotyn live from the european parliament thank you rostyslav well, now about the domestic politics of the petition calling on president volodymyr zelenskyi to save the law on the reform of the field of urban planning received 25 thousand votes, now the review of the petition should begin no later than three days after she won this number of votes and within the next 10 days, the president must respond to this petition, the authors of the petition insist that the law frees the hands of large developers, who now will not have to undergo inspections by local self-government bodies and that this will contribute to

illegal construction, his draft law number 56-55 on reforming the field of urban planning, he has already acquired the fame of the scandalous literally yesterday, was adopted by the people's deputies, this draft law was once initiated by a group of people's deputies headed by the representative of the servant of the people olena shulyak , the document in particular provides for the liquidation of the state architectural and construction inspection of dubai, which previously performed the function of state urban planning supervision after liquidation, dabi has the opportunity to choose himself who will supervise the construction, the executive body of the rural settlement city council for urban planning control, or, for example , private controllers, authorized legal entities with whom he concludes a contract from the very beginning, this draft law was subjected to harsh criticism, for example, the mayor of kyiv vitaliy klychko, the head of the association of cities of ukraine, said that the project completely eliminates city control over construction and legalizes arbitrary construction and violates the rights of land

owners and residents of communities, on the other hand, the ministry of infrastructure, for example, called the criticism of the document manipulations in the government, they say that the implementation of this law will put an end to the inaction of local self-government, as far as illegal construction is concerned, architects also criticize the draft law, in particular, for oppressing the rights of architects and the risks of market monopolization what all parties agree on is that ukraine needs a reform of the construction industry and in the context after the war reconstruction patches however, now it looks like the implementation of this reform everyone sees in his own way radio svoboda collected the opinions of the deputies who voted for the draft law and against the draft law these problems against which we have construction wars constantly arise yes he absolutely does not solve more than that he will he to turn these construction wars into protests will be more and the problem is that it is now a country with, well , full of weapons, let's be honest, there are a lot of armed hands and now we will have the same

developers but with weapons i don't know what such a great idea and what do we get from the fact that we will now have developed conflicts with weapons because they will have more developers developers are getting more rights we saw an absolutely incredible uh incredible situation we have in 6 hours the petition gained 25,000 votes this is the first time in history as far as i understand, there is a lot of tension around the law and it really needs to be dated either in full or in part who is to blame for the fact that monster houses appear in our cities and who is in illegal buildings and under mini concepts in urban planning is to blame for many, because building unfinished architecture is always a team effort of those who like to make money quickly and dishonestly, so it is not surprising that some leaders of large cities are so against draft law 5:65 on the reform of urban planning , the reform also obliges to monitor illegal buildings

in their territories, go to inspections, dismantle and be responsible for this, what decision can the president make, does the draft law exist, or not? what are the risks for and for whom does this law represent ? servant of the people good evening good evening well, first of all, i have to tell our viewers why we invited you to this broadcast, because you are, firstly, an architect with experience, and secondly, you represent the servant of the people faction in the parliament, what is the leadership of the faction and parties in particular support supported this draft law and voted for it, well, not so actively but nevertheless, many deputies voted and you did not vote and now, to begin with, i will ask you to explain your position. why you did not vote here, there are two reasons, firstly, this the very procedural points of the draft law were discussed for a year and a half, but this discussion

was not very correct, rather voluntarism, not all parties to the urban planning process were invited, and in fact, the opinions expressed by professionals were not taken into account at all, for example, at the last committee, the proposals that were submitted to the final version were not considered at all were although they were officially sent, the second meaningful point is related to the fact that this bill changes the balance of forces in the urban planning market. how do we know that several parties are involved in the urban planning process. that is, first of all, it is the residents who consume architecture, that is, they live in the city, and secondly, it is the owners of land plots and have a plot of land and can attract money or have their own money. these are the developers who dispose of the money. these are the general contractors who deal directly with construction works, architects , technical supervision engineers, engineers, reconstructors, city

authorities and state authorities and if our country takes a course towards decentralization, the strengthening of of local self-government and also in the process of decentralization announced by our cabinet of ministers to strengthen the rights of residents, unfortunately, this draft law strengthens the role of state authorities and gives a certain serious peroxide to construction companies. thus, local self- government bodies are separated from the process of urban planning control, residents are separated and have no rights at all vote and there is also a moment of rights of oppression of experts, that is why i voted against, but you yourself rightly pointed out that the draft law was adopted in july last year in the first the reading and preparation for the second reading lasted over a year, but it seemed that there was enough time and this document was essentially supposed to create a very transparent urban planning system, and what happened as a result, what kind of system does it create from your point of view, it is opaque, it is possible and transparent but

unfair, i.e. what do the citizens of ukraine expect in principle, especially after the war in the period of reconstruction - it is a fair consideration of the interests of all parties, the opportunity to work honestly and transparently , and this draft law introduces the so-called private control and, in principle, if our urban planning system had all the fuses, as it is in european countries and the united states of america, this is the active involvement of residents in the discussion of city plans, as well as in the discussion of specific construction objects, this is the work of the urban planning council, it it is called differently, but by the way, it is a body of specialists who consider exactly what the architectural object will look like, this is a common practice of architectural competitions - it is a powerful chief architect of the city, so it is possible in

in this situation, it would be possible to introduce e.e. private control, as for example it is e.e. in the usa, in france and in great britain, but unfortunately there are no safeguards and the norms of the draft law are written so that practically no one will have any influence on this private control which is written in such a way that if, for example, the developer violates the regulations once or twice, then the private control must automatically terminate the contract and there is a certain conflict between the professional conscience of the engineer who conducts the control and the purpose of the entrepreneurial activity, because these private controllers are not like notaries, where they bear personal responsibility, they are tovkas, that is, in this way, it all slides towards the fact that certain construction companies can directly create pictures, make their own companies and draw themselves, and this

bill contains several unconstitutional norms, for example, the rules of citizens for appeals are narrowed, it is clearly stated that a citizen can appeal to the mayor of amer regarding construction, as a representative of a local self-government body can to create a construction monitoring service, that is, the inspector can walk the street and take photos without access to the construction site, if after that this urban planning monitoring writes to the private control body, then in principle he has the right not to respond, because this is not a subject of authority, and citizens' appeals to other authorities on this topic is practically prohibited by this law, ms. bondar, but allow me to ask such a question when, uh, very often some criticism is heard regarding this draft law addressed to olena shuliak, your colleague who was the initiator of this draft law, she says that the draft law is criticized by those for whom corruption feeders will be closed, to what extent does this thesis

of hers have any realistic basis, to what extent is this draft law, if it could really cut off all corruption, some ways for unscrupulous mayors and developers there, you know, in this draft law there is a lot good very good feature - this is digitalization, but digitalization is very good when these previous issues are resolved when, for example, detailed plans of the territory are developed and they correspond general plan when all the practices of competitive design are carried out and so on and so on and everything that i talked about, if there is no such thing, the automatic issuance of a permit will cause anti- building protests, i understand you, they will be much scarier than they are now one more question. well, what do you think will be the fate of the bill? they say it's a record when , in a few hours, 25,000 were collected by the petition

of the president of par . of the president is obvious but it seems to me that certain norms of the draft law will have to be revised in order to create this, uh, well, this fair system of balance of interests, because otherwise it will really not be accepted by society, thank you very much hanna bondar, people's deputy of ukraine, the servant of the people faction, we talked about the fate of the draft law, which actually are implementing a construction reform in ukraine thank you very much the verkhovna rada of ukraine has implemented the recommendations of the european commission necessary for the start of negotiations on ukraine's accession to of the european union, at least it is insidious, said the speaker of the parliament ruslan stefanchuk at yesterday's meeting. referring to the latest european integration bills necessary to implement the seven recommendations of the european commission, the

recommendations, i remind you, were submitted back in june together with the eu statute, for example, the media law adopted the day before is also part of the so-called package of european integration, he was among those whose adoption brussels insisted on so that it would be possible to start negotiations on the accession of ukraine to eu in addition, the package included reforms of the constitutional court, judicial reform, the law on national minorities, the fight against money laundering, how close did the people's deputies get to the eu, now we will talk. evening, good evening. well, please tell me if you agree with ruslan stefanchuk's thesis that the deputies worked out everything perfectly and did everything for ukraine the way to the european union has opened, it is actually difficult to agree, it should be noted that the last

meeting of the council was really productive and many issues were voted on, in particular, as you have already voiced the issue of national minorities, the issue of the media, but it is very difficult to call the requirements met, i will remind you that we are talking about seven requirements relate to judicial reform, anti-corruption reform, issues of money laundering, as well as the media and national minorities . but in the process of adopting european laws on anti-money laundering, for example, it took a step back, in particular, a big problem is that parliamentarians are such a concept in national legislation, a public figure, and these are people's deputies , leaders, e.e. ministers, for example, leaders of state-owned enterprises, they are in favor of the law on the prevention of money laundering have such a status of a

national public figure and this status according to international standards must be maintained by them at all times so that the financial monitoring bodies constantly refer to you treated them scrupulously in your operation to counteract possible money laundering even after these persons ceased to be in positions , so, uh, in our national legislation , this requirement was also observed and those persons had this status permanently, but the parliamentarians made changes and indicated that this a certain status of a national public figure is preserved only for three years after release. that is, it is a step backwards, and i am not at all sure whether the european union did not pay attention. on the contrary, i think that it paid attention to this story, but it must be understood that for each specificity of the seven requirements, they are formulated quite generally. and of course, the specific steps, specific norms of the draft laws are already agreed upon in the detailed

negotiations of the government with the european commission. union. i think that there will be more questions, in particular, on combating money laundering, as i have already said, and also, uh, big questions, in particular, for us as a civil society, the voted law on the reform of the constitutional the main task of the court of ukraine was to ensure the competitive selection of judges of the constitutional court, we know that there were problems with the constitutional court , we were questionable decisions of the constitutional court, which were even criticized by the venice commission. an independent competition should be held, and according to its results , already independent

candidates for this position should be proposed as the subject of appointment, but there are questions in particular to that the configuration of the competition commission was approved by the parliament today, so that three people will be politically appointed and three people will be independent experts, and here, of course, under such circumstances, there is a big risk that the decision and well there will be some pressure on the process, there will be a blocking of the process of appointment to positions in the constitutional court, it is independent candidates, yes. in other words, there will be delays, as happened with the competition for the head of the sap, and so on. the european union and this issue, that is, there are comments and problems, and well, to call the work of the deputies here absolutely adequate, er, ideal, well, it is very difficult , but so far, so far, the european institutions

are silent, at least today i did not hear any criticism that the ukrainian deputies did something wrong they tried somehow to entangle the constitutional court, accusations were made like this even before the constitutional court, eh, yes, but i know, i am sure that such comments are heard in formal negotiations, it is necessary to understand that eh, the european union today understands the situation in which ukraine understands the issue of the war. and of course , in very rare cases, it comes out and is ready to come out with some kind of public criticism of those issues, and first of all, of course, it tries to convey its position . government, and i am sure that comments will be made informally there and the ukrainian authorities will be asked to make certain corrections and improvements. well, further

steps. of course, if this continues to be ignored, then more serious questions will arise. i have one more question for you. yesterday, many journalists drew attention to the fact that most of the projects approved yesterday were actually voted for by the representatives of the banned party of the ukrainian communist party. they helped the servants of the people and even for liquor. regarding the selection of the court and to the constitutional court, more precisely, no, for the liquidation of the district administrative court, the opzj also cast their votes . in order to take away the mandates from the representatives of the national assembly, but aren't you alarmed by this sudden sudden european integration process, what are the intentions, more precisely, what are the representatives of the national assembly

demonstrating ? changing their position, so to speak, they change their shoes on the go in order to preserve some political dividends for the future, and actually now to be as useful as possible, including for the parliament and for the pro-government faction in this process, to get some political bonuses from what is happening in the parliament. they often understand that their votes on certain issues can or demonstrate exactly this european integration position of theirs, and in some issues, they are useful specifically for the pro-government fractions to make certain decisions , therefore. well, there is logic in this, but in fact, for example, in the process of voting on this law, the liquidation of the scandalous court.

which was divided by the opposition party faction and not all groups were ready to support this bill during the negotiations and were even ready to block it, but when it became clear that society demanded it and there was such a public request, in fact, in the end , everyone voted and the law was voted as a whole yesterday yes but there were attempts to delay, including from the representatives of this faction, they simply remained, so to speak, non-public. and what do you think? if it really is now in the hands of the mps, i don’t know, let’s assume that this happens, they will be taken away there will be mandates, who will vote for him in the parliament, the majority will not fall apart. well, it is possible, the majority is actually already a ruin by and large, because if we analyze the voting for a number of draft laws, we see that the servants of the people are actually only needed by their faction they don't make a decision, uh, they need a

majority of votes, so 226, basically, if you analyze it from the servant of the people faction, 190-180 votes, so it's clear that they need the support of other factions, and uh, well, with different arguments, the following factions are convincing in certain issues in particular and in particular the opzj always very often comes to their aid. thank you very much olena shcherban, deputy executive director of the anti-corruption center, we talked about what people's deputies are doing for the european integration of ukraine, thank you well, in the end, i will repeat once again that it is literally closer in the evening, in the verkhovna rada, they began to collect signatures for the removal of the powers of deputies from the opposition platform for life, which was banned by the administrative court of cassation as part of the supreme court. we will keep an eye on what will end or how will this story develop? in the meantime, i urge you to subscribe to radio svoboda's pages on the internet on instagram, telegram, facebook, twitter,

wherever you find it convenient, and also two channels on youtube: radio svoboda and radio svoboda ukraine, and the svoboda life program will return to the air tomorrow. let's see how people live. suffer from rheumatism and arthrosis , it changes, yes. i smeared dolgit in the morning. now let the dolgit cream relieve pain, reduce swelling and improve joint mobility, because the joints are already breaking. a long, single yellow cream for joint pain and back, ask at the pharmacies good day pharmacy and one social pharmacy dolgit cream 100 g with a 20% discount
