this whole thing is happening today tomorrow well, our tv viewers probably think that this is some kind of banal event, you know how there is the election of members of the academic council of this or that or that university, for example, but no, what is the importance of oleksand oleksandr the supreme council of justice is an important body that thanks to this body, the selection and appointment of judges takes place, that is, the president appoints judges, but on the proposal of the supreme council of justice. in addition, this body has many disciplinary powers and other administrative, for example, there is the transfer of a judge from one court to another, and the granting of consent to the detention of a judge, and so on, that is, according to the law on the supreme council of justice, there are more than 20 powers of the supreme council of justice and an understaffed vrp, of course, this is a problem for the judges themselves, because without there is no such thing as a normal life in the judicial

system, ok, oleksandr, we understand that, unfortunately, not everything is solved simply by the selection of candidates by their integrity and professionalism and the work of the ethics council, in particular, everything is really it is decided by an opinion and really an effort to clean up and a normal attitude towards it on the part of our judicial corps in general, that is why the issue of appointing new members may end up hanging in the event that today's congress does not appoint them. there are three working days today tomorrow the day after tomorrow in order to appoint 8 members of the supreme council of justice in general according to the constitution such a quota of 10 members is the departure of judges 10 from other entities plus the chairman of the supreme court by position if for example

other subjects will appoint everyone, because there, too, as the quotas are not filled, let's imagine that they appoint all members. and judges will not be appointed further, the vrp will be blocked. because 15 members are needed, most of whom are judges. we already had precedents, and not everything was smooth sailing. let's put it this way, even the very name of this congress is extraordinary - it already shows that it should not have been convened under normal circumstances , er, for quite a long time, this congress was postponed and postponed these questions were recorded in in addition, i would like to remind you that two of the judges of the constitutional court still have to be appointed. there have also been vacancies for a long time, in particular one of these vacancies , which is from the 19th year. well, we just included our correspondent elena kononenko, who is

at this congress. and accordingly she said that on the sidelines they said that there was nothing of any kind of outside influence. and were there any official observers from these or other, for example, european communities, or would there be a sufficient number of our activists? well, in fact, at the congress of judges, probably according to the law, other judges may be present, if not for the purpose of observing the work of this congress, in fact, in connection with the security issues of the live broadcast, as it usually was and was not, we can only find it on the internet a text broadcast where journalists simply wrote in text what was actually happening and what was discussed at what time, but it is difficult for me to say because i did not follow exactly who was present, it is still better to ask the journalists, but the important thing is that the

issue of vrp is a matter of a secret ballot that is, as far as i know from what i have been following, they have already been given ballots, in my opinion, to the delegates of the congress, so let's see if they will be able to elect there from the first time, by the way, it is interesting that they decided to elect, for example, from - from the courts of general jurisdiction, there are four members vrp and 2 each from specialized, that is, from economic and from administrative judges, we will see how it will be possible to do it. well, accordingly. and how much information do you have, in general, candidates have been submitted, or only these eight, and there are eight, i don’t know 36 candidates well, in fact, the ethics board recommended 16 candidates, that is, we have eight vacancies and 16 candidates, that is, for one, if only 2, so that if someone does not pass, there will be a spare , he still hopes that it will not be necessary to delay everything very much, the re-voting

will be successful from the first time, however, well, in our country it can be, and there is a calculation and some, that is, the absolute majority, so to speak , of dedicated votes, that is, according to the rating, i don’t know, there are eight who received the most votes, yes, i understand everything correctly , what is that for? to be a designated member vrp, it is necessary for a specific candidate to gain more than half of the votes. that is, there are no difficult combinations, since in the verkhovna rada, with a qualified majority, there are registered how many delegates there are 280 or something, and we need more than half of that number , maybe there are some toxic ones, how, in general, with the quality of those who were selected do any of them have any questions, complaints, etc. well, in fact, journalists have already conducted an analysis, so i will still trust the information that is published regarding specific candidates, i just did not check

of their integrity and i can't say anything, let's hope that it's honest and if , for example, they won't be able to choose, i don't know, they will choose two or three and the rest will not be chosen and that then we will again have to hold another extraordinary meeting with the studio. this will further drag on and cause harm this judiciary because if there are not 15 members of the supreme court, it simply will not be able to work. this is a direct requirement in the constitution. well, the candidates can change in the event that the judges will resist every time in the inability to vote for those eight, in fact , additional competitive selections will have to be held again, and those who can be recommended. therefore, it is simply a very long process. i would even say that the process is procedurally drawn out, so it is better that you

still appoint a judge from that number, who is there now than later consider everything once, especially some, for example, a candidate and several times if they have already tried to pass, so i think that everything can be, but the judicial environment is also quite specific. history has wonderful honest judges and there are not so wonderful and so say, judges are not as honest as we would all like, and there are friends who are not too honest and decent, they always use their knowledge of procedures and, accordingly, try to influence in different ways such an important institution that would have them under their control. we do not forget this and here at the moment, everything is somehow so quiet, gentle, smooth and without influences, that is. what do you think, what other

undercurrents are possible? frank in society well, not so everything is rosy now, especially during the war and society likes to evaluate everything in the categories of treason or victory , and it will definitely be evaluated. as in the morning, besides , i want to remind you that the launch of the vrp is after all, i am sincere yes, one of the requirements from the european commission, and in that whole list , we are the requirements that ukraine must fulfill in order to become a full member of the european union. not i would like our state to take such a risk, especially when there are also european partners following this process. and if i am not mistaken yesterday, the ambassadors of the gseven countries on twitter wrote in direct text about the fact that

, well, we still need to form a joint venture. so, well , without surnames, but it should be mr. oleksandr well, we have considered all the negative scenarios of the development of events, so let's look at the positive ones, now they are appointing eight excellent members of the vrp, the first priority tasks of the supreme council of justice and how the judiciary will develop further reform, let's be positive, let's imagine what the vrp works, what it can do, the powers are very much, the time is very little. i think that the first thing they will do is take care of the higher qualification commission of judges. that is, there is also a competitive selection process, these members must be appointed, then there are a lot of questions about the well , the disciplinary responsibility of those judges themselves, again, without the vrp, it is impossible to consider, there are questions about the transfer of judges , there are also statements that are hanging in the air regarding resignation, and in our country, if i am not mistaken

, there are, i do not know the exact number, a significant five-year judges, the so-called, that is, who were still appointed under the old version of the constitution and who would hang in the air because then the 5 -year period ended. and according to the new version of the constitution, how should one be appointed again, even some who have already passed all these competitive procedures are awaiting appointment. for example , this issue can and will be resolved a-a vrp for four years each member is appointed therefore, we must always be very careful because different members were appointed in different years and therefore this does not mean that if we now launch vrp it is possible forget about this body for a few years, there you have to look again. when the term of office of the relevant members expires, what about appointing them again? well, after all, i hope that no one will forget about the constitutional court, too, and those vacancies will also be closed, but because of for there are competitive

procedures, it is more again before the congress of judges , it is obvious that there are judges who will not do it because there is not yet a single member of the advisory group by the way, the next regular or already non-regular judge will deal with this issue, so there is enough work, the main thing is that sometimes as they say, you have to have the political will for this, well , i agree here not only about the political will of a , but also about the economic consequences, but today in poland, on wednesday, the sejm is to hold the first reading of the draft amendment to the law on the highest court, which was, uh, uh, drafted on december 13 yes, this project should unlock 23 billion euros through the funds allocated by the european commission from the foundation for the national reconstruction plan of poland, serious money, i.e. 23 billion euros, almost 24, and also

34 billion euros of low-interest low-interest loans, well, this is very serious money and so this story got stuck because in poland they started pushing the bill that the polish authorities liked more, and in the european union they think a little differently . important. this story is about ukraine. god forbid, of course, something will go significantly wrong with the scandal, and as we can see. by the way, even european countries often have problems with judges and the judiciary in general, so it is not necessary to assume that this for example, only we can have such nuances. and i am not an expert in poland in particular,

i cannot evaluate their judicial system, but of course if a certain amount depends on such political steps and then what will be transferred to ukraine, and we know what our financial situation is i can only be happy when it will all be finally approved. thank you, it was oleksandr marusya, yes, an expert in constitutional law of the center for the policy of legal reforms, yes. well, we will continue to inform you of important quotes from the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, met with his colleagues from poland and lithuania, zelensky expressed everything in favor of accelerating the country's integration into nato following the example of sweden and finland, interfax-ukraine reports that it would be the most effective and consistent with reality and our defense potential, the decision of nato members to accelerate ukraine's integration into the alliance as it was the case with sweden and finland,

said zelensky at the press conference following the negotiations with the presidents of poland and lithuania, for today, simply supporting ukraine from a colleague from nato yes, mere support in the form of rhetoric is not enough to motivate our state and motivate our soldiers. we need steps forward. we are very much looking forward to powerful steps in vilnius at the nato summit , the ukrainian president said. based on the results of the second lublin triangle , armed forces of ukraine record russia's preparation for a new massive shelling of ukraine , the head of the press center reported of the operational command south, captain of the first rank nataliya humenyuk, in particular, russia uses drones for development and has sent ships for re-equipment, i quote mrs. humenyuk, the activity of unmanned scouts that we have observed in the last week speaks precisely about the preparation for

such a massive attack, since they first collect information about the targets they want objects of critical infrastructure will be most likely to be affected, they continue their efforts to create man-made inconveniences for our population, in particular in in the cooling conditions, they continue to search for air defense systems that they dream of hitting, ms. humenyuk added, that lately the enemy needs from 10 to 14 days to redeploy troops, is there any break between the mass shelling of ukraine, well, crows. general of the army valery

gerasimov was appointed chief of the general staff of the federal security service of ukraine. colonel-general of the general staff, who is this the second appointment to this position? literally in six months , on october 8, 22nd, surovikin himself was appointed to this position, and this brings us back to the topic and to the discussion about the fact that there are probably, in a certain way, some such the conflict between the group, the official general staff of the russian federation, the ministry of defense and prigozhin, according to rest, the conflict, so to speak, between the candibals is one story. there, if the main task and we understand what this task is, it is called the attempt to destroy our the state as such. well, what they are gnawing at. well, at least the purpose is characteristic and interesting. we will analyze this case a little later. maybe tomorrow, yes.

good evening to the heroes. what, besides the fact that kyiv regularly tries to repel enemy missile attacks, kyiv regularly is trying to eliminate the consequences of these missile attacks, to protect its residents, the residents of the capital are trying to determine the general vector of movement and their vision , what exactly these or other objects of the capital should be called, etc. today is the last day voting on the kyiv digital application about the renaming of two metro stations and several other city objects, tell me a little more about how the voting is going, how actively did the people of kyiv participate in it thank you , in fact, really, you are continuing where

russification street names, toponyms, they are mega important because the first thing russians do when they come to ukrainian territory is to rename ukrainian names and streets of settlements in their own way and therefore, one of the most important tasks for each of the municipalities today, i believe, is to return the historical names of the object, this is to move away from the russian cultural occupation that we had on ukrainian territory for a certain time, and kyiv is trying to keep it first, as of today, we have already renamed about 200 streets exclusively in the past year that were in one way or another connected with russian narates , and we are continuing this work in the 23rd year, today we are talking about the actual 6 objects that are put

to the vote in kyiv digitally this is also a unique story, because for the first time , by means of electronic voting, the people of kyiv decide what the names of the streets of their hometown will be. this is a mega- popular survey tool. i remind you that more than three million users not only from kyiv but from all over ukraine took part in the first survey. already in the future, regarding the return of historical names, there were a little less, but more than 1 million users today well, for now, i will not say that the voting is complete. i think also on average there will be somewhere up to a million users, the main goal of this vote is actually very simple . we want to make a certain straight line of four city squares in the central part of the city,

assign them the names of heroes, so that starting from the european square and actually ending at the exit to the central railway station it was, let's say, a patriotic line of streets and a square that leads from the main railway station of the city to the central square, mr. volodymyr, on the other hand, we understand that there is something to rename in kyiv, so we understand how much a lot of different such well, maybe not toxic, but colorless names, and we understand that our ukrainian, so to speak, i don’t know if the pantheon, well, historical, as well as historical, and it is about the heroes of the present, also requires the implementation, so to speak, of the supratopographical space of kyiv well, and accordingly, what are the current ideas which consultations are being conducted because we understand that the capital of ukraine will never

be the same post-soviet one, if anyone did not want it, we have entered a completely new era and, accordingly, the names must be appropriate of course, we immortalize on the map of kyiv the names of the new heroes who unfortunately fell, we immortalize historical figures on the map of kyiv. well, at the same time, we will honestly say that we immortalize the historical friends of ukraine, because really russia has never been either a brother or a partner, and not a friend of our state alone uh, one of these proposals is currently being voted on, including the name of the project metro station varshavska station, in order to evaluate the help that poland is providing to our country today, the main thing is, in fact, the main thing is that er, this is not being done thoughtlessly, as we would like to

present a savior there, it is not being done only in order to sever all ties with the former culture or history. it is being done in order to actually overcome the consequences of the russian cultural occupation that was territory of ukraine, because come on, i think our tv viewers will also agree that any occupier, when he plants his culture, he tries to reflect it in toponymy, including the names of his writers, the names of his musicians, the names of his toponymic stories and at the same time erasing the same figures or such a german thing from other countries that have their representatives in world culture. well, for example, if there is pushkin park or pushkin street, why is there no

shakespeare street or shakespeare park, and probably this question is not asked only in kyiv because there are less and less let's talk about the streets of pushkin, monuments and parties remain in ukraine i agree with you on the other hand we understand a figure of russian imperial policy or a russian poet as a certain instrument of cultural colonization, no, but where is pushkin, where is kyiv, why should there be one in kyiv or in zhytomyr? where can we get the names for naming streets, so to speak, but also the issue of monuments, i would like to ask you if there is a chance in e-e in kyiv to see, for example, a large, beautiful monument to petlyura or a large, beautiful monument to someone else from our national heroes in that

to yevgeny konovaltsy himself, what kind of harrowing in kyiv from the moscow ord 100 years ago, let's separate a little two concepts, first , uh, we actually continue to remove from the public space of kyiv those monuments that are connected with the narratives of russia, unfortunately, we have a situation where certain monuments continue to remain under the protection of the state, that is, there is a monument of national importance, it is a little more difficult with them, but we will also work with regard to monuments of new heroes to new heroes or our historical hero. of course , it is nice to see such monuments on the territory in kyiv, it will be possible, moreover, today there are already consultations regarding the arrangement, so i will open the curtain that one of the squares, if the vote ends positively,

will be owned by someone. project but maybe let's call it that, a prototype of a certain memorial sign or monument or maybe even a pantheon of ukrainian heroes, just in this concert , monuments to outstanding people will also be realized to historical ukrainian figures. at the same time, well , again, this is not. let's put it this way, this is not an exception. now, when we are going to change the kyiv toponymy, there is, of course, in kyiv, there is already a memorial plaque for konovaltsia on konovaltsia street, and together with this, as of today, we are talking about the possibility of arranging in in certain parks and squares, monuments to historical ukrainian figures who were fighters for ukraine in the 20th century, in

this case, i think that your figure on konovalts can also be considered, but it is definitely not the only one in kyiv, just like there are streets petliury avenue bandery avenue shukhevicha street konovaltsia street and streets and parks will be exactly the same and create monuments to the fighters for ukraine in the 20th century so extremely exhaustive well, there is still such an important point so to speak how to properly connect different academic communities we understand that in kyiv has its own and, in general, a powerful historical school in ukraine, there are historians from abroad who are friends of ukraine, and accordingly, perhaps it would be worthwhile to launch some kind of wider project well, which could be discussed academically environment, i.e. not at the level of facebook, when one person wrote it, the other then covered it with some ugly letters. well, it went on. and so that people are authoritative and

recognized in the academic field, on the other hand, we understand that it is one thing to whom the monument is, and another thing, but no less what is important is the quality of this monument, so that it does not correspond to the image of this or that. maybe he is a good guy , this sculptor is like that. but maybe he does not really see and does not know what, for example , european art is, it has to be, but it is different, in fact, it is not a question of so-called avant-garde here, the story is about it being included in a certain canon of high european art, what do you see as the prospects of volodymyr, in fact, the prospects are very simple, a special working group is already working on the change of kyiv toponymy, which includes representatives of the leading institutes of the national academy of the institute of sciences of the ukrainian institute of national remembrance and are involved there, including local studies, professional historians are involved, there is no problem regarding the involvement there

of our friends with world names, but i will give a simple example that the monument to the people of kyiv who died during the anti-terrorist operation was installed next to the european square solely based on the results of an architectural competition in which international sculptors participated, including several projects that were presented by our friends from abroad and chose the main thing, in fact, they chose the results, which were then embodied not only by national experts, but also by the families of the victims and, by the way, our foreign experts in this case, we already have positive experience and any new things. i am talking about the project on the square of ukrainian heroes. because such a project will be implemented exclusively according to the results of an architectural competition. maybe even an international one. thank you, mr.

volodymyr, we wish you inspiration in your difficult struggle. yes so to speak well, the most important thing is that you conduct a toponymic lustration as soon as possible, so to speak volodymyr bondarenko , secretary of the kyiv city council, deputy mayor of kyiv, was working live now . finally, there are two important things for you message, one of them is a reminder that we are still trying to get to know you better, the espresso e-e team asks you to fill out the introduction form so that we can learn more about you, for this you need to scan the qr-code that you see on the screen, filling out the form will take only 5 minutes of your time well, at the end of january, among all the participants of the survey, we will play something interesting, we do not promise much. note what awaits you today at 19:15
