i can at least briefly distract myself from the continuous stream of news, admire nature while walking in the park with my wife, i see the seemingly beautiful in such simple things . i know that my family is behind the backs of fantastic people who protect our dear ukraine at the cost of their own lives the least i can personally do to thank our indomitable defenders is to transfer funds for the needs of the army, join and you, each of you can help even a small contribution to the support of the army saves the lives of our soldiers and brings our victory closer espresso in the heat of the moment we inform you about the most important thing we attract the best, the most competent and informed experts khrystyna yatskiv in the light of the last video you saw where

we are again we invite you to join the help of the army, you need to do it systematically now a-a council to inform that iryna kovalya, together with the espresso tv channel, was assembled on a uav for the military of the combined tactical group adam, this is a group that usually performs the most difficult tasks at the best in hotter areas they needed this drone 800,000 uah and with your efforts as well. helps our armed forces we are going further, we inform you about the most important things, now we will join our marathon, iryna gerashchenko , people's deputy of ukraine, member of the clinic committee of the verkhovna rada on issues of foreign policy is authorized to act on the peaceful settlement of

donbas, in particular, and the signature of ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyi under the a-and law already by the decision of the verkhovna rada on the reform of the constitutional court literally a few hours before this signature appeared from under the hands of the president and and there was an updated conclusion of the venice commission, which clarified important points that were not taken into account by the deputies of the verkhovna rada during the work on document number 76 62. in the new conclusion, they pointed out two important points to the advisory group of experts that will check the candidates for the ksu, it is necessary to include another seventh member of independent international experts, you may remember when we created the ethical e-e council e-e, in particular, which is currently dealing with candidates for positions in the supreme

council of justice, for example, this issue will be relevant already at the beginning of january, and we are talking about exactly seven members, and an odd number provides the right to a decisive vote, just as it is for an internationalist who is competent and who is interested in the fact that ukraine was the judicial system is really high-quality and equidistant from everyone. well, the anti-corruption center explains that the adopted law provides for six members, three independent experts from international partners and three ukrainian appointees, and this is the problem without our voice, no decision can be made, the seventh independent expert just such should make it possible to level the political influence on the commission. well, the second point that you mentioned is that the decisions of the advisory group of experts should under no circumstances be binding on the candidates who passed the inspection with a negative

result cannot become a judge of the constitutional court. well, the chairman of the board of the yury foundation, mykhailo zhernakov, recommended, so to speak, that the signed law is an unambiguous signal that the commission insists on european values ​​and principles of the supremacy of the right to give ukraine a discount due to the war and other circumstances. will be iryna gerashchenko , people's deputy of ukraine, member of the verkhovna rada's committee on foreign policy, as the commissioner for the peaceful settlement in donbas, glory to ukraine, ms. iryna, we welcome you glory to ukraine, it is very important for ukraine to be truly european and democratic, so let's go straight to the case with the draft law. the law already after being signed by president zelensky, in particular, refers to the constitutional court, an institution that can play a key role, in particular, in matters of european integration of ukraine, not because it refers to demands from of the european community, and

because there is no other way to build a european country if there are certain distortions and there is such a law that has already been signed, why was there such a rush ms. iryna, you are absolutely correct in emphasizing that we are carrying out reforms not for the european union, not for the united states, not for canada, not for gs7, but for ukraine , and in this context it is very important that we adapt ukrainian legislation in accordance with the standards and rules of the european union itself indeed , the european union put forward such sim -seven prerequisites for our candidacy, and the law on the constitutional court is one of them, and i am extremely worried that the president really signed well, yes, it is very revealing the law on the constitutional court after the negative conclusion of the venice commission, european solidarity was the faction that did not vote for this bill, i emphasize

that it was adopted by the votes of the people and the opposition. in fact, our faction insisted on the need for the independence of the constitutional court to introduce international experts there, because this practice has proven itself very well in the anti-corruption court during the election of a judge in the anti-corruption court and this haste it shows, in fact, it seems to me that the facade is very often of our european integration and when under with such pioneering slogans, let's go to the eu, well , laws are being adopted, where the name is correct. but inside, there are absolutely no european norms , taking into account what is proposed today by european solidarity. of the law on the constitutional court, namely the first creation of this eight-member council, and the introduction of these two representatives

of experts from the international community and public organizations into six this experience has proven itself during the creation and selection of judges of the anti-corruption court. actually, it seems to me that it is very important for the parliament to demonstrate its subjectivity here and to finalize this law in accordance with the requirements for the advice of the venice commission and our partners from the european union ms. iryna chiye some real mechanism, yes, because the draft law has already become law, signed by the president. well, i don’t know, i don’t want to, i don’t even want to be ironic, maybe there is a chance to send it to the constitutional court for consideration, because the law on the constitutional court would have a possibility to pass the check in the constitutional court as well. this is indeed unian, very serious, because today we have, for the first time, a serious threat to have an absolutely uh pocket

constitutional court, this is very dangerous, because the constitutional court is a model for the entire judicial branch of government, which should be independent. i want to remind that now when we have such a story that in essence, with violations of the law, one of the judges of the constitutional court was appointed a penis in the weight - she is an associate of zelenskyi, she is one of the representatives of the servant of the people faction. only after that began to make general changes to the law, now they forced several members of the constitutional court to write statements of dismissal and we have very big such warnings to have a loyal pocket constitutional court, and therefore it seems to me that it is important here to call on the parliament to show its subjectivity, to take into account the comments of the experts of the venice commission and to introduce changes, our faction will remind you of the language of the position. although now we are not talking about the position after the start of a full-scale invasion, we have prepared changes to this law, we

we are applying for registration today. we call on all colleagues from the parliament to join these changes. i think it would be very correct. i will also honestly say that we will appeal to the representatives of our partners so that they also use their influence so that this law meets european norms and standards irina, there are five vacancies for the positions of judges of the constitutional court, someone called, yes, it will be possible to stabilize the image now, because it went from horizontal to vertical, this is some kind of enemies, do you understand the constitutional court and so on, it is also possible in our village now, which is in all the settlements of ukraine , we have a little problem with communication, we are working on a generator, the main thing is that we actually hear you . this is the most important thing. i hope you will hear

my question. we have five vacancies on positions for the positions of judges of the constitutional court after three resignations that took place recently and which have already been confirmed, it is possible to hear somewhere within the walls of the ukrainian parliament who plans to apply for the position of judge of the constitutional court at all, because we understand that not only practice when people's deputies became judges of the constitutional court of ukraine just yesterday. so to speak, some of our doubts about what happened on the sidelines are about the resignation of as many as three members of the constitutional court who could have served their terms in principle. i am sure that psychological pressure was exerted and we know that in previous years, these judges complained about psychological pressure and such demands that they received signals

about the need to sign, and these statements about a seemingly voluntary resignation are very it is disturbing that we see that a similar situation is happening around the accounting chamber of other e-e institutions, and of course it is very dangerous when today we have the full power concentrated in the hands of the bank, but also such conservation of power in one hand in other institutions, in general, for the first time we have a situation where there is no balance, obviously that during the war, european solidarity, pursuing a statist policy, ah ah, holds back any criticism there so as not to destabilize the situation , but at the same time, our homework while our soldiers are at the front is to build democratic ukraine and this, unfortunately, there is no common history and foundation with democracy. on the contrary, these are authoritarian tendencies that are very disturbing, but we saw the last personnel appointment to the accounting chamber when, well, there, not with

an impeccable reputation, we have a servant of the people who passed the quota. completely depending on the council, which is imagine well, it blocks the inclusion in t2 of the return of pro-ukrainian tribes, you can imagine well, including espresso and so, we can have such a situation in the constitutional court, what does it threaten, so i would so i asked the question, it threatens with very serious consequences. the european union will seriously monitor ukraine's implementation of the seven points regarding our status as a candidate country, members of the eu, and believe me, there are countries in the european union who are not against raising questions there about non-fulfillment of the criteria yes. it is important that we do not played along with what is involved in this, there is a feeling that some foresters were playing in ukraine. they play along with these motives. well, i do not know the opponents of the ukrainian fast path to the eu. i consider it very dangerous, very

dangerous. we understand that in relatively prosperous poland there was a huge scandal, which line of tension appeared, in particular, it is about the law on the supreme court of poland, we understand that the powers are somewhat different, but the european union is extremely tense and colossal discussions are ongoing, but poland is a member of the european union, and we are only in status candidate, there are no less important and interesting stories that happen like this, kristina, by the way, they are also related to the decisions of the verkhovna rada last week , eh, the question of veto or signature is still unresolved the president under the law project 56-55 on the formation of the field of urban planning, but this draft law is already full of scandals without exaggeration, and the last information we have that relates to this draft law is the people's deputy mrs. yanchenko and the servant

of the people, wrote a statement to leave the party due to the actions of the leader of the language faction it is about olena shulyak, who recently appeared in the hospital to the military and lawyer oleg simorozok, who in principle did not agree with the concept of this draft law and noted that a certain monopoly of the rights of developers in it is more the development of our cities and our urban planning is being followed in general, ms. iryna. what do you think of the act, hmm, colleague in the parliament, ms. halyna, she quotes and stated that the act of elena shulyah is today. to mr. oleg, who is a soldier, who is wounded in this war, and who, at the same time, remains a human being, a citizen with a capital letter with a conscious civic position , who continues to defend the cause of his life,

which is, well, the protection of some ukrainian cities should develop in accordance with european rules , not this chaotic, corrupt construction, this is the first, the second, regarding mr. yanchenko’s statement. well, i support breaking into the wards of wounded patients . and we see double standards, there are absolutely no relations there, on this background, i am glad that the head of the faction of european solidarity has a healthy atmosphere in our factions, we have such discussions, i will tell you honestly during the discussion draft laws are very stormy, but it is important that they exist in our country, there is no authoritarianism and no compulsion to vote with the green button for everything in a row. that is what the ukrainian parliament lacks today - a healthy discussion. it is not normal when, by the decision of the same people,

ms. yanchenko and ms. shulyak voted to ban the broadcast in recording and airing of the channel, i would like all ukrainians to hear the discussion of this or that draft law, and it is in the discussion that the truth is born. so, when you see that laws are adopted, they usually carry or corruptly or another negative component , sorry, i voted for this law, the servant of the people, and the upsj are prohibited, and the faction is the servant of the people, its leadership, not hiding from them, is beautiful, constructive, as they say, mutually beneficial, as they say, relations with psg . what else do we need to know about this law actually it seems to me that it is possible that this is some kind of internal conflict, if these are ideological things, then in this statement ms. yanchenko should have turned to panovenskyi with a request to withdraw this bill, and she does not dare to turn to the main beneficiaries of this law, then we

will be peace, we will do it. we call on mr. zelenskyi, who today signed the absolutely disgraceful law on the constitutional court, which does not bring us closer to the european union, to block block the law on so-called urban planning so that we can finalize it in the parliament and so that he does not have this a shameful component of corruption, thank you ms. iryna, there is important news from the minister of defense, mr. reznikov, who deciphered the words of the tyrant about 300 tanks, stating the amount of necessary equipment 300 tanks 700 bmp 500 howitzers, commander-in-chief valery zaluzhny meant the needs of a specific operation for the complete deoccupation of ukrainian lands, more equipment and weapons are needed, this is the minister of defense oleksiy reznikov, i clarified the opinion of general zaluzhny because not everyone read him correctly he said that he can win this war as a whole and separately named the number of needs for concrete
