council of justice is one of the reforms on which ukraine 's further movement towards eu membership depends. the ambassador of ukraine to turkey vasyl bondar said, he noted that our country is ready for peace and that is why it had earlier proposed a corresponding security formula that outlines the current plan for achieving it, it is about 10 points that cover such issues as the security of ukraine and the region as a whole, food, energy security and, most importantly, the withdrawal of russian troops from ukrainian territory, at least 3,000 ukrainian civilians in russian captivity

, journalist and author of the know-your-own project kateryna osadcha reported about this, the exchange of civilians is complicated by the fact that they, as non -military, do not fall under the norms of the geneva convention, and the russian the party does not respond to their inquiries about their whereabouts or health, representatives of the red army occasionally manage to get to civilian prisoners on the eve of the cross , the human rights commissioners of ukraine and the russian federation met in turkey, where they talked in particular about the exchange of civilian prisoners, how we would not quarrel with the red cross if we did not like their work, they are still the only ones who give civilians at least a little information about civilian prisoners there is very little information, but it is a little bit. well, there is in a small amount, but what kind of feedback do they give to someone, at least they tell where the person is, the civilian population is

the most unprotected. well, we hear from our side that according to the geneva convention we cannot exchange civilians, wait for them in russia, they must return or release them after the end of the military situation in ukraine, in irpen, kyiv region, a new police station was opened, we saw a security cell and our correspondents are watching together, another police station was opened in kyiv region , in total, there are already 60 of them in the region, which is very helped to reduce the level of crime in the region, assures the head of the police of the kyiv region andrii zabitov, the main goal of such cells is to make people trust the law enforcement officers more, there will be a new such structure police officer of the community once again i want to emphasize that according to measurements, the level of trust in them is more than 75%. it is important for us that the

american partners from the research forum of police leaders came to the opening. the purpose of this organization is to establish cooperation with the national police and to assist law enforcement agencies during a full-scale invasion. during two days, the participants will exchange experiences. the organization also brought the necessary help for the policemen, our help is very needed . especially now during our winter the organization ensures that 1,000 pairs of shoes and necessary thermal clothing, which are needed by policemen during the war, are delivered to ukraine. during the occupation of kyiv region, the invaders damaged 10 buildings of the national police in the region, five of them were completely destroyed, that was all the news as of now, and we see you at 7:00 p.m. the news service is working on a new issue. in the meantime, follow us on facebook, twitter and read our telegram and watch on youtube. see you soon. movies,

work but berets and tactical glasses, but since 2014 i had to become a volunteer because our relatives were on the front lines and they needed help. everyone from you can help. even a small contribution to the support of the army saves the lives of our soldiers and brings us closer to our victory. ukrainian experts, of course , christian, together with antin berkovsky well, let's talk now about the cases that were decided today within the walls of the ukrainian parliament, with us, fedirvenislavsky - folk deputy of ukraine member of the verkhovna rada committee on national security defense intelligence representative of the president in the verkhovna rada mr. fedor we congratulate you glory to ukraine i congratulate you as a hero glory that we are waiting for the

inclusion of andriy osadchuk, also a people's deputy of your colleague, for now let's start a conversation yes, mr. fedor, we are glad that we were able to so, we would like to ask you to sum up today's plenary session, well summing up the plenary session is usually not very difficult, since the laws that were adopted today were aimed at well, if you can generalize them all into two key directions, the first is the laws related to ensuring the capabilities of ukraine in the war, this is the formation of military administrations in those settlements from the zaporozhye kherson region that were liberated from the occupier and also in the field of security and defense, a law was passed on amendments to some laws related to the military service of foreigners under a contract, we expanded the opportunity for foreigners , that is, in fact, for servicemen of the

ukrainian foreign military legion to undergo military service not only in the armed forces of ukraine, but also to have the opportunity to undergo military service in the units of the national guard and state special transport, this is what concerns issues related to the sphere of defense security, the rest of the draft laws related to the economic sphere of adaptation of ukrainian legislation to international standards to international ratifications of international agreements of ukraine and the adoption of those laws aimed at the growth of the economic potential of the ukrainian state, including in conditions of war, is the introduction of electronic excise stamps is in the field of business support in wartime, simplified customs clearance of goods , again in wartime, for the needs of the armed forces of ukraine and other components of the security and defense sector, these are the main directions in which

the verkhovna rada today worked eh, what, mr. fedor, everyone is actually interested in your opinion about another extraordinary event today, the congress of judges approved eight a-a candidates for e-members of the vrp, we are actually restarting the supreme council of justice and we we hope that in the future the judicial reform will go on its own, as they say, but there are still some reservations about the professionalism and integrity of some of the candidates who were appointed . at least vacant seats in the constitutional court of ukraine, tell us a little more. how do you see the development of the situation here? are you satisfied with the voting that took place and the people who took the corresponding positions? well, first of all, really it is necessary to distinguish between the issue of creating

or filling vacant positions from the judiciary to the supreme council of justice, justice hung after the demarch of the previous members who submitted their resignations, it was just right by the way, the resignations were submitted because the current members of the vrp let's say they didn't really want their fortunes to be checked by the ethics council , which we introduced with new laws, so there was a kind of dimarche, vacancies were filled according to the quota of the president with the quota of educational institutions from the quota and the verkhovna rada, but eight of members from the judiciary since the congress of judges remained unfilled and in fact the supreme council of justice was sick and could not work, and you, the council of justice is a very important body . in addition, his main purpose is participation in the appointment of judges to vacant positions and

the disciplinary action of judges up to the point of suspension from the administration of justice today's event, or rather, it stretched over two days, yesterday and today, the congress of judges elected eight new members of the supreme council of justice, and accordingly, we can state today that today the supreme council of justice already has a quorum and can work fully. this is very important because that this is, by and large, one of the essential steps towards unlocking and completing the judicial reform in general, which, due to the absence of the supreme council of justice, a full-fledged and highly qualified commission of judges, was incapacitated, well, it was practically general that this is your question about integrity, then i want to remind you that we passed such laws that provide for the appointment of mandatory conclusions of the relevant ethical council on integrity issues, and even today, and

talk about the fact that they could participate in the competition only those candidates who had the opinion of the public council of the ethical council could participate, therefore, talk about any issues regarding the integrity of judges or representatives who were elected to the supreme council of justice for today well, very very it is difficult because they all passed the filter that is provided by the valuable law, you can of course discuss for a long time and talk about the fact that there were some not entirely proportional moments in determining integrity or dishonesty, but today we have conclusions that those who became members of the gdp passed this sieve of integrity because it is possible to discuss what concerns the constitution of the court of ukraine, it is a little different here, as you said , not the supreme council of justice takes part in filling vacant positions, but the congress of judges, and uh, we passed the law uh, last year

adopted a law which, among other things, is aimed at the integration of ukrainian legislation into european standards, it is on the implementation of the recommendation of the venice commission, which stipulates that candidates for the position of judge of the constitutional court of ukraine must pass the assessment of the public integrity council. the day of its judges is absolutely not, in my opinion, very correct in not completing the competition that was started under the old law and will actually be fully complied with the procedure provided for by the new law and on the position of judges of the constitutional court and the closing of the verkhovna rada, since now, after the resignation of a package of three judges, there are already vacancies from the verkhovna rada, and the congress of judges will be held in compliance with this transparent procedure and the task of international experts who will provide conclusions about the integrity of the professional and high professional qualities of this

or that candidate. thank you mr. fedorov, we are adding to our marathon andriy osadchuk, people's deputy of ukraine, first deputy chairman of the verkhovna rada committee on of law enforcement activity. glory to ukraine, mr. andrii. congratulations to the heroes. glory to the heroes. well, we are analyzing , so to speak, the fact that the congress has already ended, and we seem to have new members of the vrp. we would like to ask for your comments. well, in general, we summarize the results of today's plenary day . of such a detailed analysis that people's deputies voted on today mr. andrii, let's not name the new members of the people's party, as if in fact eight members of the people's party were appointed by the congress of judges today i just heard a colleague's comment, he absolutely correctly describes it as an extremely important stage

of judicial reform, the only thing you know is that in order to better understand the present, you must always remember the past. unfortunately, we lost three years. i want to remind you again that in october 19 voted for the judicial reform and then i. my colleagues on the g7 vote. by the way, then they begged us not to do stupid things, but they did not listen to us then, they voted already then certain changes in the legislation ended with the fact that we lost three years to launch the judicial reform at this has created a huge number of vacant positions for judges in the country. that is, we must understand that in many courts there is simply no one to administer justice, ukrainians are in fact deprived of the right to a

fair trial in many cases. over the last how long has it been a year? it all took all this epic. we made the appropriate changes to the legislation and actually restarted this entire procedure of forming the supreme council of justice and today it happened despite a lot of caveats, cautions, civil society there was very nervous about this, but the appointment was made. i agree with fyodor in that there are no perfect appointments , you can always criticize something, but i was a little personally involved in the formation of teams . they know how difficult it is to find more or less decent people, especially if you need more than two or three of you, it is still too early for justice, we need a lot of people and it is very difficult to find worthy ones who could perform this work qualitatively, while all candidates were really checked by the ethical council that was formed

in accordance with the new legislation adopted by the verkhovna rada, therefore, of course, there may be reservations, someone does not like something, but i would also focus on the fact that in the end we got a quorum for the supreme council of justice . she can start working and she has a lot of work, so this is to some extent historic moment and i very much expect, together with my colleagues from the monomajority and all my close colleagues, that indeed the year 2023 will be dedicated to a total reboot of the judicial system, and these are definitely conditions not just for our euro of official aspirations, this is a key condition for the normal life and functioning of a country without the rule of law, i repeat it, for the third year, nothing will happen in this country, you noted that today we had a historical moment, now just live, i would like to note another historical moment mp video positions

mp from the authorities agreed in the assessment of such an extraordinary story. well, i would also like to ask mr. veneslavskyi about the issue of terms. so we understand that we should thank god and thank our people's deputies and congress and so on to everyone involved in one word, the question of the terms of implementation of the judicial reform and the reaction, so to speak, to unscrupulous suspicious judges, who belonged to the gender of one or another, well, let's say mildly about moscow figures like this, the past, look , when we talk about the term, it must be understood that without anything else, very an important constituent element of the judicial system, namely the supreme qualification commission of judges, which must conduct qualification evaluations before appointing

a judge to a position, the judicial reform really still will not be let's say it will be launched and will not be carrying out the purge that andrii just spoke about, with which i completely agree. by the way, you know that there are always people in the parliament, as andrii said, conscious people who, despite political orientations, go to the goal that will really help the state, and this is the most important thing regarding the terms of the formation of the higher qualification commission of judges today, i want to remind again that the competitive exercise for the formation of the position is ongoing. applicants for these positions, i am convinced that those international representatives and ukrainian civil society and international communities of experts will have questions because i personally have many questions. knowing their previous lives, i am convinced that joint efforts and these filters which we

introduced in the current law on the supreme court on the status of judges, we will manage to form an effective institution. i think that it is optimistic, not even optimistic, but realistic to expect that in the next in 2-3 months, let's say by the middle of the dash at the end of spring, we will receive a higher qualification commission for judges and, accordingly, all the elements of the mechanism that should ensure the purification of the judiciary will work, and given the fact that these filters are included regarding the integrity of members of the vrp and members of the vkks, i think that they will perform their functions effectively enough and prevent judges from remaining in the judicial environment in the judicial community or those who have foreign citizenship, especially if they are russian like us, surely some regret we have a sufficiently large number of facts or those that serve some pro-kremlin

forces, etc., that is, i think that we will be able to by the end of this year here. i completely agree with andrii. the 23rd year should be the year of rebooting the judicial system and restoring trust in the pre-judicial authorities, which is one of the key for our country and for our society. that is, it is the environment of ukrainian parliamentarians. especially since there is something to work on, such as the early termination of the powers of the people's deputies medvedchuk derkach kozak and kuzmin, respectively, mr. andrii, i know so far what you know, that it was supposedly her presidential decree and the chairman of the verkhovna rada confirmed that the verkhovna rada secretariat allegedly received the corresponding document, but today this issue did not come up for voting. i think that the rules committee is working on it. therefore, i think that it is purely technical question, we will probably

vote on it in the coming days, but i would very much like to draw attention to two critical points for me, since today we have such a legal conversation with you . citizenship is actually used as a tool of punishment, the mentioned persons most likely committed treason at least under article 111 of the criminal code of ukraine and possibly under article 111 collaboration, which provides for the very essence of the state and rights in this the whole essence of the relationship between the citizen and the state is what if you commit you have to bear the full punishment for the crime, especially if the crime is directly related to your status as a citizen of the country, treason by definition can only be committed by a citizen of the country and that's how it was in the last couple of days, there has been a theoretical discussion that

it is possible at the time of committing treason. they were citizens of ukraine, but now they are not citizens. you can still judge them for that. i strongly doubt that a person who is no longer a citizen of ukraine at the moment can to be prosecuted under article 111 of the criminal code of ukraine for treason, that is, in fact, we released them in terms of responsibility under this article, it is clear that they are not respected citizens, most likely they committed a bunch of other crimes, because i know that there are various cases open against them there, and for them they can. i hope they will be brought to justice. but again, this action of the president and the president's team has more of a political aspect than a legal aspect and an aspect of the fight for justice, and secondly

we have to understand that yes these four were deprived of their citizenship, we will deprive them of their mandates and that was not the case in the hall of the verkhovna rada, and all these months they did not influence the work of the ukrainian parliament in any way, while the other ex-members of psg continue to do so perfectly to work, only the fact that they came several times and this is a big problem well, well, now the issue of revocation or revocation of citizenship mandates is being resolved, what is in the committees they are still working, we are not just working the committee yes shufrych i am the head of the committee on freedom of speech of the ukrainian parliament for the 11th month of the great war this yes, shufrych today speaks several times to the verkhovna rada, he tells us about european integration, some other menu. excuse me, i understand that it is politically quite comfortable that now the expszh votes there when necessary but fedir not somewhere to lie when we have a consensus when we really vote sorry on which one
