more resistant to certain external influences and the pressure of civil society, which is supposed to oversee that, or any regulators did not create any arbitrary situation regarding the regulation of the media, and it seems to me that ukrainian civil society has always been strong enough and powerful enough in this regard, and i hope it will remain the same powerful and in the future, information appeared here this week that another one will appear on the horizon of ukrainian tv channels, which will be called ukraine world news, they already say that will be released on tuesday on the day of the cathedral, and this tv channel is made by a team that used to work on such tv channels as 112th ukraine newsone. well, also inter, some kind of live network , i don’t know what it is, the first three, i know actually

, here some tv channels can’t they should be included in the marathon because they say that there is no place for them. meanwhile, new tv channels are appearing. with russian a country that is now trying to maintain its statehood and once again tv channels are being created and will work quietly and those people will work who were actually the ones who called this russian country to ukraine well, until the moment there are no court verdicts regarding the commission of crimes by certain people, unfortunately or fortunately, well, we simply have to accept and apply to them the presumption of innocence, therefore understanding and those problems created by the relevant people

for the information security of ukraine during its independence, it is simply worth being vigilant about the content they will broadcast. and as soon as it becomes apparent that these tv channels to one degree or another violate the legislation of ukraine and distribute content that is prohibited from distribution by the requirements of the legislation of ukraine, it is necessary to contact the regulator and law enforcement agencies in order for them to establish the fact of the violation and bring the relevant people to justice before they started broadcasting something, this is also freedom of speech and freedom entrepreneurial activity. they have the right to establish some or other channels. and since they want it, the question is again what they will broadcast

. moment thank you mr. maksym for explaining maksym e.e. dvorovy joined us e. expert e.e. of the law on media well now let's talk a little about the book publishing house about e books victor krulgoi general director of publishing house morning to us turning on, mr. viktor, have a good day, viewers, hear me like that, the photo is already great, eh , i will immediately continue the previous topic where are we fighting now or what are we fighting for and we have not just a war we have a war against not just against a war against the russian invaders this is a war for ukrainian identity for ukrainian culture and i want to say that without a ukrainian book there can be no state, no ukrainian culture, and no identity of ours

is known to everyone, and everyone knows the story from the time of the second world war when one of the ministers winston churchill's government proposed to cut spending on culture in favor of defense, and then churchill asked and what are we fighting for, in essence, we are fighting for the future of our children, what am i leading all this to a-a today we will talk about supporting book publishing and about the law that was voted during the war in the summer when not everything was clear and the majority of legislators supported the law number 2313 and about certificates and about the support of bookstores and uh, what is this uh, what is this book law about, which should come into effect

on january 1 this year, but unfortunately it did not work, it was about the fact that all parents of newborn children and teenagers who have reached the age of majority should be given a certificate for the purchase of any ukrainian books, books from ukrainian publishing houses, for the amount of uah 833, and this law should also be supported bookstores that were closed en masse and now, if we take the statistics of book publishing during the war, the numbers are very bad, the circulations have almost halved, and this is compared to the bad last year, and the number of titles has also decreased by almost 60%. and this is a very, very problem, it is a question

of national security, and when this law was adopted in support of the ukrainian book, well , first of all, the majority of deputies supported it, and the president signed this law and, unfortunately , today this law is not being implemented. i understand that we must protect our country and all efforts must be directed to defense i want to say that it is from the book that victories begin, because the books influence the city. for example, the russian invaders - they are very well aware of this. i know many facts. when they invaded, they came to our ukrainian territories, first of all, they went to libraries, they went to schools to throw out ukrainian books and

ukrainian content, because they really understood the importance of influencing people's brains, and what else do i want to say? i know booksellers who believed in the state and started during for example, the knigaland bookstore that opened in irpen is, on the one hand, a happy story for local residents, because well, i talk about the nature of my activity as the director of the publishing house morning with booksellers local residents came and thanked for the fact that there was an opportunity to buy a ukrainian book and at that time this bookstore was working well, for example in chernihiv. i personally asked the booksellers there in the chernihiv region, for today there are only two good books, two systematic bookstores

that provide ukrainian books by all publishers and these bookstores operate at a loss, because even though the commercial structures where they rent rent premises have given a 50% discount, they still rent, for example, a small bookshops for 50 m² is rent - the rent they have to pay is more than 100,000 hryvnias per month and it is clear that if this law does not work, the bookshops will simply close, and well, i will add just a few numbers to the field so that the audience understands that in general, to ensure all these rent compensations, to ensure the payment of all these certificates for printed new books for ukrainians, for ukrainian children, and so on and so on, uah 750 million had to be allocated, the figure looks large, but i i will just remind you that this year only for the

broadcast of the only news of the marathon, despite the fact that this is done by commercial channels, despite the fact that we have a public broadcaster that has separate funding, which should provide these only news by itself, and in fact, twice the amount of them has been allocated for example, a tenth of this sum is simply used to cover the activities of other structures on radu tv channel, which for some reason do not even have a relationship with the parliament, just so that the audience has an idea of ​​what is being said, that is, there is money for this and more money. and i want add that we are talking about 0.2% of all expenditures of the state budget. that is, this is a meager amount and we are talking about national security. please tell us who had the russian peace. due to the fact that russia consistently won the

information war in ukraine, that is, first of all, russia fought and fought the substitutes and the book - the book is the tool that allows you to preserve the ukrainian identity and the ukrainian nation and developed critical thinking, moreover, i i want to say what they are programs with book certificates, for example , operate in many ukrainian countries and in many european countries, everyone can give an example , for example, of poland and ireland. in poland, all teenagers are given 400 zlotys annually specifically for the purchase of books. 120 € for the purchase of educational literature, specifically for the book, that is,

you cannot spend this money anywhere else, in any other way, and i also want to give the numbers, as the number of published titles depends on the power of the economy states, for example, in britain. in america, in china, more than 100,000 titles are published per year, more than 100,000 titles of books a-a, and we can look at the power of these states in germany, more than 80,000 titles remain actually and e-e reading level - the level of that how ukrainians read remains terribly low. and this is a discussion about critical thinking and how ukrainians can not cope with the russian peace and the entire legacy of the soviet union, because they have little and are not educated enough to repel even informational attacks which now is during a full-scale invasion thank

you thank you because literally one phrase i want to say that we will definitely return the captured territories but without the return of ukrainian culture to liberate the territory we cannot talk about a full-fledged victory and without a book without a ukrainian book it is impossible to do it properly viktor kruglov, the general director of ranok publishing house from kharkov, was with us and told us about how important it is to win not only on the battlefield, but to win culturally as well. thank you for being with us. we are martomoe espresso andriy saichuk and lesya vakulyu worked for you in this and not only in this studio, please stay in the shelter air alarm unfortunately, there is a hit to the infrastructure in the lviv oblast and there is also a hit to a residential building in the dnipropetrovsk oblast, there will be further judicial control is espresso, be aware, watch this week 's program judicial control with tatyana shustrava, political proteges, why the reform

of the constitutional court was on the verge of explosion, this is under the guise of reform in the dependence of the constitutional court and a direct path to authoritarianism, will ukraine be able to maintain its status as a candidate for the eu, the parliament passed a law that goes against the recommendations of the venice commission and what happened to the judges of the constitutional court who were dismissed before the new year. congratulations, this is judicial control, and i am tetyana shustra. the reform of the constitutional court is on the verge of collapse. the verkhovna rada of ukraine finally adopted the draft law which changes the system of appointing judges of the constitutional court of ukraine, it creates a special by the way, a group of experts that will check all candidates for the position and the adopted law goes against the requirements of the european union, which ukraine promised to fulfill by receiving the status of a candidate country for the eu, what next and whether we will continue the path of european integration, we

will tell you in today's program, but first, to the news, the 19th congress of judges of ukraine elected five members of the supreme council justice of the key body of the judicial system, which is responsible for the professionalism, impartiality and integrity of this judicial corps, positions for the next four years were held by yuliya bokova, judge of the economic court of donetsk region, alla kotelevets, judge of kharkiv of the court of appeal olga popikova judge of the northern court of appeal oleksandr sasevich judge of the lviv district administrative court and judge of the supreme court hryhoriy usyk the congress of judges has not yet ended and in the coming days it must appoint three more members of the council according to its quota currently there are only seven members of the supreme council of justice since the 21st and has been inactive for almost a year due to the absence of a sick person, after the appointment of new members of the council by the congress of military judges, there will be

15. and this will finally allow to resume work body, this task is to restore the functioning of the highest body of judicial governance, we must fulfill this task. the supreme court of ukraine has started considering the cassation appeal against the sentence of former judges of the holosiiv district court of kyiv, andrii novak and oleksandr bilyk, who were sentenced to seven and a half and seven years of imprisonment, respectively, according to the version the investigation of ex-judge novak, through the mediation of the former judge of the same court, bilyk, received eight thousand dollars in illegal benefits for making a decision in in a civil case, during a search of a novice , firearms and military supplies were found for which he did not have a permit, the son of the judge of the court of appeal of the kyiv region, valery finageev, yevhen fingaev, was caught drunk driving again, this is not the first time, and not even

the second time, the permissible norm 0.2 years ago the patrol police had already stopped finogaev for drunk driving. the dniprovskyi district court of kyiv imposed a fine on the judge's son with the deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle for a year, but fingaev decided not to comply with the court decision and continued to drive the car in october, his lawyer appealed to the court to admit that the decision on the imposition of a fine and deprivation of the right to drive is not subject to execution by the new head of the commercial court of cassation as part of the supreme court of ukraine for the next four years. out of 42 judges, larisa rogach replaced judge bohdan lviv, who was dismissed due to his russian citizenship, but to the new head of the cassation court

no less than in 2017, the public council of integrity recognized rogach as not meeting the criteria of integrity, in particular , she probably at least tolerated or was even involved in the practice of interfering with the system of self-distribution of the court. larisa rogach was also a member of the panel of judges that did not satisfy the cassation appeal of the kyiv city council thereby obliging it to enter into a lease agreement for a plot of land near st. sophia's cathedral for the construction of a high-rise building, this construction threatened sofia in 2016 by a panel chaired by larisa rogach issued a decision that led to the allocation of land for the estate of yuriy ivanyushchenko , known as mezhihirya 2, despite the fact that most of the land plots belong to the nature reserve fund and

unfortunately, these are not all questionable decisions of judge larisa rogach. the verkhovna rada passed a law on changing the selection process of judges of the constitutional court of ukraine, the law creates an advisory group of experts, it will include six members, one each from the verkhovna rada of the president and one from the congress of judges of ukraine a person from the venice commission and two persons delegated by international organizations that provide assistance to ukraine in the reforms of the rule of law. by the way, the group must analyze each candidate for compliance with the criteria of integrity and professional competence, and this should supposedly allow appointing worthy ones, but there is a significant point in the selection scheme that no participation of representatives of civil society, on the other hand, representatives of the authorities continue to participate in the selection of judges. three of the

six members of the commission are representatives of politics and the congress of judges, and the decision is adopted by the majority , the votes of international experts are not considered as a priority. therefore, the threat of political involvement does not disappear, and in fact only those who agree with the government will be able to become judges of the constitutional court of ukraine, emphasizes the head of the de jure foundation mykhailo zhirnakov, this means that no judge will pass to the constitutional court if the political attitudes do not raise their hands for it, it means that only those who are 100% satisfied with the political power will pass, and this is the opposite of what we needed. that is, we it is necessary to establish an independent selection procedure, we are establishing and cementing the political appointment procedure long before the adoption of the draft law on the competitive selection of judges of the constitutional court, three current officials of

themis resigned at the same time, iryna zavhorodnya wrote statements, serhiy sas and ihor sdelenko, all of them involved in scandals with questionable integrity it would seem that we can talk about cleaning up the judicial system, but not now the risks of disruption of the reform of the constitutional court and even more so of the judicial reform as a whole have increased significantly, we will figure out what the threat is together with the experts, but first we will tell you what three former judges of the constitutional court remembered in their positions. this is serhiy sas. he came to the constitutional court in march 2014 in the wake of the revolution of dignity. before that, he was a people's deputy and one of of the active members of the party, the homeland of yulia tymoshenko, as a judge of sas, he was remembered for his critical conclusions about

zelenskyi's land reform in 2020, he even addressed a statement to the people's deputies in which urged not to allow ukrainians to be deprived of their national wealth. ihor snidenko sat in the judge's chair like sas in march 2014. he was appointed by the verkhovna rada under the quota of the svoboda party. before that, he worked at the institute of legislation of the verkhovna rada . sdelenko became famous in october 2020. he was the speaker in in the case of cancellation of liability for illegal enrichment of officials, then the constitutional court, by its decision, canceled criminal liability for declaring false information and also blocked the work of the national agency for the prevention of corruption on controlling the assets of civil servants and their punishment for lying in

declarations it is not excluded that such a decision was supported by judge sdelenko for personal reasons in 2019. in 2019, sdelenko was found to be in violation of anti-corruption legislation; he did not submit timely notifications of significant changes in the property condition, in particular, he did not timely indicate 330,000 hryvnias of income, all three of them voted for sdelenko zavhorodnya, they voted for the decision to cancel the declaration in fact absolutely illegal absolutely unconstitutional judge sdelenko did not limit himself to the cancellation of criminal liability for false information in the declarations in the evening almost immediately after the decision of the constitutional court from the judge's official e- mail address to the official of the national security agency who handed him

a report on the commission of an offense related to corruption a letter arrived in french and now said athos , wrapping himself in tears and putting on his hat now that i have pulled the viper's teeth out of you bite if you can oleksandr dumas three musketeers in script so thank you, gentlemen, and pass on my greetings to mr. en and does the team name fit in with judicial ethics and even though currently judge ihor snidenko has retired he can still sit in the judge's chair again and we hope that in this case his biography will be thoroughly researched, and the members of the already reformed higher qualification commission of judges will give a fair assessment of his actions, pass it on, it means congratulations

to the type of mr. novikov. pulled out his teeth, try to bite me, that is, the honorable gentleman directly admitted in his work mail that he did it in order to nail down the authority to zacap on him to adopt some protocols that they had sent to him before that. that is, this is also a huge conflict of interests. yes, he had the third judge of the constitutional court of ukraine, who decided to resign, iryna zavhorod, would be responsible for this. she came to this position in 2018. before that, she worked in the railway district court in october 2020. zavhorodnya also supported the repeal of the anti-corruption reform and the decision of the constitutional court on the abolition of criminal liability for lying in declarations and the closing of the register of declarations and electronic declarations. more interesting

story because her powers only began in the 18th year and she would not have, well , for quite a long time. -e to leave the post now why did she resign? about iryna zavgorodnya it is known that she has a husband who is a citizen of russia. he is retired but expertly buys expensive real estate in the center of kyiv worth hundreds thousand dollars, two years ago, the husband of iryna zavhorodnya bought 124 m² in the center of the capital for his luxurious novopecherski lypky complex. the estimated cost of such an apartment without renovation is almost uah 13 million, the cost of an apartment of a similar area with renovation from uah 14 million, according to the information of our colleagues, two years before that, in 2018, the husband of a judge bought such a 54 m² in lypki, for an alleged price of uah 1,300,000

although nowadays prices for similar apartments in the same building start from almost four million hryvnias, at that time serhiy's income according to the declaration of the judge's wife, zavhorodnya received only uah 75,000 per year from a pension fund in moscow in 2019. in 2019, iryna zavhorodnya declared uah 4 million in salary, uah 120,000 and uah 2.7 million in cash, and another 3 million was allegedly donated by her 81-year-old mother, we never cease to be surprised how do relatives of judges manage to buy apartments at a price several times lower than the market price, accumulate millions with only a pension from income and give those millions to relatives of judges, we can assume that in october 2020 iryna

zavhorodnya was personally interested in the disruption of the anti-corruption reform and deprived of the right to check the declarations of officials, three judges of the constitutional court with a dubious reputation, unknown origin of wealth and questions of integrity voluntarily resigned and allegedly made room for new and virtuous ones, yes, but not quite the impression. of political appointees under the parliament's quota, all three judges were appointed under the parliament's quota. therefore, the new three must also be appointed by the parliament, experts emphasize the significant risks of such of reshuffles of the constitutional court 3 from the parliament two hairpins of the congress of judges, this means that according to the procedure that was just

adopted, five more judges of the constitutional court are added to the five that the government already controls, and these are 10 judges out of 18 that is, this is the majority of the constitutional court, currently the government can control five judges of the constitutional court of ukraine, five seats are vacant today, experts emphasize that taking into account the law on the appointment of judges adopted by the parliament , the ukrainian government will be able to to control already ten of the 18 officers of themis of the constitutional court, this means that through the constitutional court it will be possible to hold early elections, any changes to the constitution and any unconstitutional laws, to create any body in the last few months, ukraine has implemented several judicial reforms at once steps back, on the heels of the victorious and loud liquidation of the scandalous district administrative court of kyiv, the parliament

passed a law that contradicts the recommendations of the venice commission to the council of europe's advisory body on issues of constitutional law and with the advice of the ambassadors of the g7 countries, this is no reform, no , this is not european integration, this is under the guise of reform in the dependence of the constitutional court and a direct path to authoritarianism towards ukrainian analytical centers and analysts conducted an analysis of ukraine's implementation of judicial reform, which is a key requirement for us to be accepted into the european union according to the conclusions of experts since the summer , the reform of the constitutional court is not the only one of the eu criteria where ukraine has shown positive dynamics, however, the parliament passed a draft law that contradicts to the demands of international partners , a number of community organizations once again pushed ukraine back on the way to the eu. they appealed to president

volodymyr zelenskyi with a call to promise the law and send it for revision. we hope that the judicial reform will not be disrupted and that ukraine will be able to maintain its status as a candidate for eu membership for today i had all this judicial control and i am tetyana shustrova. if you know the facts of corruption in the judicial system of ukraine or you want to tell about an unscrupulous judge , write to me on facebook or by e-mail the address of which you see on your screens , we will meet in exactly a week, by all means, russian a
