in different clothes or with other signs, everyone will know whether they are belarusians or russians. what do you think about the coffins that will go to belarus? they will affect society . they did not cause any disturbance in russian society, these are more than 100,000 dead russians, but how can belarus react to belarusians, i am no different from russians, just as the ukrainians said that they are one people and that is why the reaction of belarusians will be different than that of russians the russians think that the belarusians will be calm and look at this. and everything is probably there. geta well, in my opinion, it should not raise the spirit of the belarusian people to compete against the occupiers, and they will understand that the russians are not friends. she is a city of enemies. of our history because when you look at the history of belarus, you will remember the grand duchy of lithuania, there were only

27 soldiers with russia and uh with russia at that time, and with the moscow state, that is, the belarusians did not fight with anyone more than with the russians, that is, and this is just right to show что что russians are just enemies to us ani syabry thank you for your involvement oleksandr azarov was with us the founder of the initiative of the belarusian security forces against lukashenka i don't just want to say that i would really hate for the belarusian army to invade the territory of ukraine together with the russians because we are great we understand that many of them will go home in plastic bags. it's just a war. it can't be otherwise. i'll briefly explain the situation in soledar before i add the next guest. this is what they're reporting. as of the evening, the ministry of defense reported on the situation in this place, where fierce battles continue between ukrainian defenders and the russian occupiers, the armed forces are repelling continuous enemy attacks day and

night, the deputy minister of defense of ukraine, hanna malyar, reported in her telegram , according to the information, the russians are suffering heavy losses . suffered heavy losses, but continues to carry out the criminal orders of his command, hanna the painter reported. well, that's the situation with the soledar in a nutshell. actually, this is a hostile pressure that they carried out several times in a row and they even hurried to announce soledar as a city captured by the russian army, not the army of the aggressor, it turned out to be untrue, the soldier managed to hold back, there are various stories about how they fought, at what cost, the armed forces of ukraine did it, and about the heroic battles fought by our paratroopers, which units are there, which brigades are they are serving there and the reinforcements that have arrived, well, in any case , soledar, of course, differs to a large extent from what was in mariupol, because mariupol was surrounded by several rings of enemy forces, and it was difficult to get to mariupol it is practically impossible to get our heroic

helicopter pilots to mariupol, of course, they tried to deliver one or another means, food, weapons, to take someone somewhere, it was always associated with the risk of being shot down in the territory controlled by the enemy. soledar is not surrounded. soledar has the opportunity to receive support . e-e replenishment rotation ammunition all other means of course the enemy there has a numerical advantage, but in any case soledar holds on holds on soldier holds holds on to the armed forces of ukraine you know, already on the internet they are starting to talk about the fact that the enemy decided to take the soldier. this is rock salt and the stone guards of the city. we already had a and e azovstal, where there were steel defenders and people who lived in mariupol those who resisted the enemy were made of steel, now there are stone defenders of the soledar well , if there is a next guest, then we will include her in the conversation kateryna butko, head of the all-ukrainian association avtomaidan, head of the public council under the national

national agency for the prevention of corruption p kateryna, i congratulate you good evening, we are with you let's not talk about the judges who were added to the supreme council of justice, these judges were elected there, eight of them were elected at the congress of judges and well, there i was talking to the expert, she says that there are questions for everyone, but there are individual characters for whom there are a lot of questions, there is a judge who, for example, says that after the war he will continue to travel to russia and everything will be fine for him. please comment on these and these appointments of these characters, what can be expected from them in positions in the supreme council of justice. well, really, i agree with the fact that actually to everyone the judges who were elected to the supreme council of justice have a question for them, of course the biggest question is the question for mr. bulgakov, who after the armed aggression after the beginning of the war repeatedly traveled to the russian federation, whose father is a citizen of

the russian federation and that's why, of course , he has the most questions because it 's very strange and it's very, it's very unclear and when those judges are elected, the judges elect such colleagues to the supreme council of justice when we already have a full-scale full-scale war already it is not the first, not the first months therefore, there are questions for them, but in fact the biggest problem is also that, unfortunately , even after the e filter of the ethical council, we er and because of the closed interviews of the ethical council we do not know whether some of these er candidate judges have removed these questions or no. how did they respond to the fact that it is clear that someone may have questions that can be explained, but we did not hear these explanations, and this is the thing that

somewhat undermines trust in this body when you do not know exactly what the explanations sounded like or whether they were -e understandable or not and whether they sufficient and therefore we can only that these people were checked and they were allowed further, but the problem was actually the beginning with the fact that very few worthy candidates applied for this competition because according to the quota for those who could be chosen from the judges it is either the judges or the judges resignations and, unfortunately, there is a rather small number of really worthy judges, they applied for this competition for the quota of the congress of judges, and this is probably more a question of trust in the judicial system itself, because all independent judges who oppose this system it is clear that in any case, even after the filter of the ethical council, they were simply not elected as

judges, and perhaps this is one of the reasons why such judges did not participate in the competition. i do not want you to briefly remind our viewers that the supreme council of justice is there is a function that these people will do. because you know, people can listen now in the audience and think. what 's the difference? who was elected here? the main thing for us now is to defeat the enemy, and let them sit there . they are not they will just sit, what work will they do in retirement, and the supreme council of justice has not functioned until now, in the near future after the judges at the congress of e have filled their vacancies, the supreme council of justice will return to its work and what can it do you still the council of justice looks at disciplinary complaints against the judge, it

can dismiss them, it can suspend them, it can also grant permission by the security authorities for their arrest or house arrest, well, for the deprived - for some preventive measure which deprived of detention and with restriction of freedom, and therefore it is very important that in fact all judges were like that, and there is not one such judge, the judges, collaborators who appeared during these months of war, they continue to work in the judicial system, or rather continue to be judges, and continue receive enough even those who passed through the peak of the enemy and work in the courts of the occupied cities in this judge still continue to be judges also in ukraine and this is all because there is no supreme council of justice that can dismiss or although

to suspend such courts, and this is a common big problem for the year, which we had all the time. also, bribe-taking judges also continue to make decisions because, for example , the bribe-taking judge from the kirovohrad region, he had a problem. he is suspected of because he took bribery his case is already being heard by the higher anti-corruption court, but he himself continues to consider er, conduct court hearings and consider even cases related to bribery, and this is absolutely absurd. when such a person er, is not even suspended for this the period when there is an investigation and when he himself is tried for bribery and continues to consider cases related to bribery, that is why the presence of the high council of justice and its functionality is extremely important. moreover, we must not forget that the number one requirement of the european union for

our application is precisely judicial the reform and the problem is that there is another body called the high qualification commission of judges, which is supposed to select judges for the position. it will also be formed now, but it cannot be formed without the high council of justice therefore, in essence, this is what the meeting was held and some delegated their candidates to the new p from our international partners and from society in general, because we will see and understand that it will finally be possible to do something with these bribe-taking judges and collaborators, so i will explain it very briefly so that we understand what we are striving for, what is the gulf now between ukraine and, let's say, the neighboring in poland, it is in the judiciary

well, my friend on facebook and acquaintance in life, kostyantyn andriyuk, who is well known for what he does, the program has stopped, it has stopped, and he is also following this story on the roads, so he is a ukrainian , obviously, some kind of volunteers . i think it was. well, it’s possible. of course, i’m talking about a toyota land cruiser. he was driving very fast on a road in poland, where the speed limit is 50 km. he started at a speed of 150 km. they stopped him. well, how was he recorded, then he was stopped somewhere on some road ? some distance first he paid a fine of 59,000 hryvnias for exceeding the speed limit. you understood that he exceeded the speed limit where the limit was 50 km. he was driving three times faster. then his license was taken away and he now cannot drive in poland. now let's imagine that such a story happened in if there are not enough funds in ukraine, then he would simply drive without rights , how is it happening in ukraine, 95 people are without rights, well, nothing, he sent someone, gave

money and drove on without rights, that’s the minimum, so this is not some super story it it's not that the judge of the desnyansk district court flew into the embankment somewhere on obolon, i think. that means she fell into a tree. it's nothing to worry about. they said that's the way it should be. well, i don't know if she was fired there or not. well, in any case, then this story stopped. but in this case, she was still deprived of her rights for one even because it was not enough, that's why i say what we should strive for, i also want to finally ask about the constitutional court, which, let's say, can decide to start the elections to the verkhovna rada earlier time that can give more powers of the president, who can do a lot of things that, in principle, will change the political picture in ukraine and the picture of the state system, for example , to turn away some regions, well, or refusals, well , that is, everything can be done by the constitutional court here, too. the question is how to appoint judges of this court the venetian commission still said once again that in this, by the way, the group that checks the judges who go to

the constitutional court should have one foreign expert more than representatives of the authorities who check these people, but so far, we don't want you for this with such an argument, i heard from a member of the verkhovna rada who said, "so what do we have here? maybe europe and america will appoint everyone, we are the ones who are here. no, we are not alone. do you think that certain people in the government will give in to this?" point -1, our plus one expert, please eh well, yes, indeed, eh, the venice commission, and just like eh europeans, they now very darkly and clearly say that no requirement, by the way, has not been fulfilled because it has seven there should be experts instead of six as voted by ours parliamentarians here are actually usually er europeans, they so er more easily talk about what er with, especially now when we are at war, they er not that they very aggressively

criticize our actions, the actions of our authorities and in general turn more as for the recommendations, they say that these are their requirements, but here in this matter, they have already several times clearly stated in black and white that there should be a seventh expert, and at the same time, our parliamentarians continue to pretend that this was the case and talk about that no, we fulfilled the requirement of the european union, but no, we have not fulfilled it, and that is why there must be changes to the legislation, and in no case do i think that our government will be able to avoid it, because we all understand and society understands, and our government also, i hope, understands that there is a lot going on right now, and that including our candidacy, our integration with the european union, this is a glaring and urgent issue because we

receive help from our international partners who continue to support us, our military advancements, including our equipment, which we we get, and that's why it's easy to lie to them and say that no, no, we've done everything, even though they see that it's not so. well, we won't be able to for a long time, because otherwise their attitude towards us will simply change. and that's why we don't have the right to try to drive them for so long by the tail and say that we did something, although we did not score it and it is clearly visible, therefore, i think that we will still have to, and i believe that we will have to change, uh , make changes. we will be able to get a constitutional one under the new law court for the first time, probably for the entire independence of ukraine, which will be formed not by political

appointments, namely by an independent and er open competition. with illegal actions , loud hunts are organized across europe for certain people and to whom there are questions in the scope of the president, first of all, at the same time, let's say to andriy portnovo. yesterday i read such an interesting story that the investigation has no questions, this is a person who is associated with many what kind of things were decided for you in the judicial system and also with the fact that, let's say, at one time during the war, he somehow went abroad very cunningly, then he did not return . let's touch on kolomoisky now, but he's like a tailor , is he honest and clean? this is who controls these things, to whom there is a question, to whom there is not, well , let's say it smelled like this, uh, during yanukovych's time, he was

an influential person, and uh, unfortunately for him during this time er, actually managed to er, let's say it is a shame to supply your strings in many authorities and that is why, even though yanukovych has been gone for a long time . office of the president because there is also such a person, let's not forget about the connection between the scabbard and mr. smirnov and that's why he can still influence something through these are my old acquaintances and influences but i believe in that it cannot last forever and cannot last long and sooner or later even the party leader will have to answer for what he scored. i thank you very much for joining, thank you for your comments. kateryna butko, head of the

all-ukrainian association avtomaidan, head of the public council at the national agency for the prevention of corruption, we talked about court cases and now i have a different story, you know it is already a more pleasant story that we will talk about before we talk about it . in ukraine, you know, there is a saying that people harvest carols for fools. it's not yet harvest here, we can still carol, be generous, and we'll listen to the performance of carols in the kiev-pechersk lavra in the dormition cathedral, where the christmas service was held, please the new consciousness and the glory of the lord, you are our

dear god above the heavens remember the words three candles of the mountains, glory is our son dear god to us heavenly candles glory is our son dear god to us of the heavens we listened to the first guests and now we will talk with veronika martyniuk, conductor of the bishop's choir, emiss from prykarpattia, ms. veronika, i congratulate you, we praise him and we include every conversation bishop fenost bohorodchan vicar of the ivano-frankivsk galicia diocese mr. bishop i congratulate you, we also praise him well, there is also a video in the car, too, i congratulate you well, let's first talk about the generally very cool that this is the performance of this carol e- the choir from prykarpattia impressed kyiv

and only kyiv with seven-balls mrs. veronika, i would like to ask you first how did you prepare and how did you perform and how important is it, in general , we have been preparing since december. since today we organized our first all-ukrainian charity festival christmas of the unbroken ukraine in ivano-frankivsk here we were preparing for this festival and later we decided to go to visit the most blessed epiphany, but i understand that you did not know in advance that you would participate in this historical service because it is the first time too much -for many years , the service of the orthodox church of ukraine was held in the assumption cathedral of the kyiv-pechersk lavra, and well, it really went down in history, when did it happen suddenly or not suddenly, please? people who know us, friends and relatives, it happened

completely by accident and we are very happy about it. i want to address mr. bishop. i understand that this is not the last, well, even on these holidays , it should be the new year-christmas service in the kiev-pechersk lavra er , january 19, if i'm not mistaken, again january 19 should take place at 9:00 in the morning, not me, but i would like you to explain more about the meaning of this, that the ukrainian church is returning to the lavra and further prospects, how to do it so that it happens for a long time and the whole laurel was well first of all, a state church, but churches that are definitely not against ukraine could serve there. please, i want to say that the lord listened to the prayers of the ukrainians and today we really took the first step, we celebrated the first divine service at christmas in the assumption lavra. is such a small

first victory during the war and we believe and hope that with god's help we will gradually serve in the lavra and the lavra will be all ukrainian. i'm veronica what is the uniqueness of hutsul carols in ukraine, in principle, there are many things that each region has its own stories in many ways - a lot of it is in singers, in music and in national clothes and in pictures there. well, even in nature, but what are hutsul carols about their uniqueness. i think that their uniqueness is that there are many of them and they are performed, er, if a large family comes to the house and performs them individually for the householder, for the householder, for the marzenka , that is, for livestock, even for the dead. i

had such a text that hutsuls are walking caroling there even where no one lives and this is true. they visit those old houses where no one is there anymore, but they remember the dead . it is possible that there are such carols that do not exist anywhere else, and not in the sense of the words themselves, but in the sense of the message that these carols have for people, how ancient they are, by the way, it is also interesting, please, there are hutsul carols for me personally it is pleasant and joyful because that i i come from the ivano-frankivsk region, from verkhovyna, from the carpathians, the capital of the hutsul region, and for me these christmas carols have a special meaning in life, how ancient they are, so the hutsuls showed their love and respect for god. they

did not thank all the creation that god sent them for everything they thanked nature for the cattle, as veronika says, and asked god for blessings to live through the year that is coming, the new year, so that the lord blesses everyone with a new baby. these days, well are the new year and christmas holidays going on and are there where do you go caroling in general? is it up to you to decide whether you are invited or organized, how does it happen? well, maybe someone wants to invite you, you know, now it's watching our thought and i want such carolers, we're just leaving the city of kalush, where are we invited invited by the city mayor the organizers of this event caroled here started this

festival and we are very happy that we are invited and in general we have been caroling for our doctors all these days since we came from the lavra from kyiv they heal the body and we we try to heal everyone's soul. i still have one question for mr. bishop about i know that even in the lavra there are many brothers who would like , well, this is about monks, first of all, i don't know about priests who would like to come to the orthodox the churches of ukraine, there are even facts of the transition, do you remember? they burned those church pillars there, the metropolitans are among those who obviously renounced their fsb, this history and structure, where and in your opinion, can this process be accelerated and which one really amount people who would like, well, there is a tomos, there is a church, there is a single ukraine, they want to be in this single church and continue to serve god, please. i think that among the brothers of the kiev-pechersk lavra

, which is still there, there are quite a few who should consider ukraine but from our parties, as far as i know, i heard that with the help of god , gradually, they have to go home, er, join the orthodox church of ukraine, this should be their agreement and their decision, and of course, i have repeatedly stated that our superior, metropolitan epiphany the doors of our church are always open we are waiting for everyone and we are always waiting when someone knocks we will open and accept with great love i then at the very end literally just a minute for today especially vasyl i am also vasyl i will ask mrs. veronika to sing a carol well, some hutsul carol for me, of course , for our viewers, for the whole of ukraine, i'm just saying that there is another reason, please,

i wanted to hear sunday morning, the sun was rising , the cherry orchards cheered up the cherry orchards of the world, the white one, oh, the little christ was born, oh, honest people honest man christ was born and happy day christ was born we will give jesus christ the glory to give i thank you very much eh i wish you a successful journey and a good caroling eh so veronika martyniuk dearest of the bishop's choir emmy from prykarpattia and also bishop of novosti bogorodchansky doctors ivano -frankivsk galicia diocese thank you thank you very much, thank you very much to the community that was in the car that so sincerely caroled, well, you know, they added a little holiday to

our geter, although today and thank you very much to our guests today, st. basil's day continues on the 19 in january, the kiev-pechersk lavra will host a service of god, which will be performed by metropolitan epiphany, the head of the orthodox church of ukraine , and it will begin at nine o'clock in the morning. and only one request from the orthodox church of ukraine: that people understand the security measures well, since it was on january 7, then there were also limits, you had to pass an inspection, but it would be clear that any person can come in and do something bad, it's interesting. therefore, because of this, there will be a way to be understanding and there will be a second service at least state structures gave their consent for the orthodox church of ukraine to hold a divine service in the lavra on january 19. so, i will then finally remind you once again that today the enemy launched a massive energy missile attack on the territory of ukraine

, it flew over kyiv in the morning, these were ballistic missiles until now . i don't see any information about what kind of missiles these were, in any case, the essence of the matter does not change, they arrived and now we have to think about how to work against them. and here is the latest information from the air defense command of the armed forces of ukraine they write that on saturday ukrainian air defense shot down 25 out of 38 russian missiles of various types, i.e. 13 missiles managed to shoot down ee 20, i.e. 25 missiles managed to be shot down and 13 missiles flew in and hit targets , at least energy infrastructure in 6 regions of ukraine were hit in the kyiv region, dozens of buildings have been destroyed. well, not destroyed, but damaged in general, during this time i will read that 25 of 38 missiles of various types have been literally destroyed, in particular 18 kw of air and sea -based missiles khas-101 h-55 and caliber seven guided kh

-59e air missiles on january 14, the russian occupying forces launched a massive rocket attack on infrastructure facilities in the dnipro , according to the latest information, there were not five people who died as a result of a rocket hitting a multi-apartment building, an entire entrance was destroyed, rescue operations are ongoing the objects will last all night, says the city authorities. 27 people were injured, six of them children, well, it's time for the news. my colleagues in the news department have been monitoring and tracking this information. panasyuk also has this information and now he will tell you the most important, the most urgent, the most prompt .
