[000:00:00;00] there were certain comments from different circles, but she is now uniting everyone because what they are creating now with him can really end literally in his death, and accordingly, as valevska rightly asked and i clarify, that is, whether the existing toolset, in your opinion, will be sufficient for in order to influence the georgian prime minister garibashvili, who wants, so to speak, it is possible to repeat one or the other, i don't know , pro-russian career jump well , to be honest, i don't really understand if the georgian government does not respond to anya's resolution of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe. where does georgia even enter the european parliament, despite the fact that georgia declares its desire to join the european union, then it is completely incomprehensible how it is possible to ignore what

the european parliament says. does not exist, but then i think it is necessary to further raise the question of possible sanctions against representatives of the georgian government for what is happening now, and in the question of the relationship with russia in the russian-ukrainian war, their relationship with mykhailo saakashvili, i want to remind , recently there were statements from tbilisi about the possible launch of direct air connections between tbilisi and russia, again, well, all the countries of the free world have refused direct air connections with russia on the second day of the rammstein meeting in the format of the defense ministers of our partner countries, did you all

hear what you expected, well, there are no planes yet, but they are already talking about tanks, training , training of politicians. to be honest, i don't expected where and let's be honest, until the ukrainian pilots are trained to use these planes. and this is not a matter of one month, but these planes are just a piece of metal on wheels and we need to understand that, so it is very important for us to start training ukrainian pilots, and here is the question of solving it is still waiting for a political decision to give ukraine airplanes or provide them, well, we have time, unfortunately, because without the training of our pilots, there is simply no point in this, and here is what i was waiting for: long-range missiles. unfortunately, we have not heard anything new about this, and it makes me very sad i am worried, in addition to the fact that tanks also sound now, it seems to me that it has already announced that it will not supply

ukraine with two leopards. it seems that the netherlands is also. i do not blame because denmark recently gave ukraine all of its caesar self-propelled artillery systems, which are of french production, which are very powerful and we need them, so we are very grateful for this, but to be honest, the situation is not easy for the paliampards, and we can see it with you . well, while we do not have final information on this rammstein, but as some kind of breakthrough, it is not it looks like unfortunately, if we talk about breakthroughs, so to speak. and about the various signals that came, in particular, from the minister of defense of the united states, austin, and so on. will leave ukraine that they will help ah, well, there are no questions about the signals, we receive a lot of very

positive signals, but well, in such laws and in such a situation that we, well, i'm sorry , we can't protect bakhmut and dvuhleder with signals, too, and we need specific things we need armored vehicles we need long-range missiles and we need all of this as soon as possible so uh once again i absolutely thank you for all the support that is and the main thing is that it doesn't become too late. that's why we need to press , press

. well, we see that our minister of defense is different. by the way, he said today that he remains in office after the corruption scandal in the ministry by the decision of president volodymyr zelensky. there they were asked whether he plans to remain in the position of minister of defense in the coming months, varschikov said yes, it was the decision of my president. well, i think that this is what should have been said. as i told my colleagues in the service of the people and in principle, it is obvious that the minister of defense during the war did not he might be a lame duck, should you fire him, varshnikov, or already say publicly that you are not going to fire him, and in principle, this should not have come from varshnikov himself, but it should have come from either zelenskyi or the head of his office because we understand his level of influence there, or at least negative ones, which have been very recently, but by announcing varshikov, he will be changed. therefore, it should sound like ah. as far as i understand, it sounded now from reznikov, although some of my data say that in fact the question of varshikov has not been finally removed, so let's go let's see what will happen there in the next

month. thank you. well, we will watch the monitors and analyze and inform our viewers . thank you, mr. oleksiy, for this extremely productive conversation oleksiy goncharenko people's deputy of ukraine , vice-president of the committee on migration and refugees, parye worked now live on the espresso tv channel - we inform you about the most important things, the prime minister of sweden, ulf kristiferson, has arrived in ukraine. to ukraine, the prime minister of sweden ultrason ukraine and sweden together protect humanity, freedom and europe together we will be winners like that well, the new head of the highest anti-corruption court of ukraine became judge vira mykhaylenko such a decision approved at the general meeting of judges on the eve of february 14 valentine's day well, what do those who are engaged in anti-corruption activities in our country evaluate, this is the appointment of the new

head of the anti-corruption court, now we will talk with stepan berk, this is the advocacy manager of the de jure foundation, stepan, we congratulate you good day good day congratulations how do you assess the appointment of the new decision of the general meeting of judges that vira mykhaylenko has become the new head of the supreme anti-corruption court of ukraine? for the record, we have to admit that mrs. mykhaylenko has no questions about her integrity. as at the time when she was selected for the embroidering corruption court , she did not receive any comments, and in the end , there is not a single judge in the higher anti-corruption court who would have problems with integrity. since the competition for this court took place it is quite precedential and transparent with the involvement of experts , that is, like other judges of this court, it is

a good article and an example of what a real judge should look like, so i am glad that in the anti-corruption court they finally managed to elect the head of the court. but again, it must be emphasized that the head of the court does not have any authority to influence the consideration of court cases, these are only those persons who trust the judge to represent the interests of the court in relations with other authorities and to resolve some administrative issues, but stepan, but here the journalists mention the story of the fall of 2020, the third disciplinary chamber of the high council of justice prosecuted the investigating judge vaksyvira mykhaylenko, giving her a warning, for which in fact the judge was punished for the fact that she allowed an absentee investigation into

the scandalous ex-minister of yanukovych azarov, mykola zlochevskyi, who escaped from ukraine in 2014, this is not considered well , this is a warning, it is not considered a violation of the standards of integrity - here you need to have the context in order to be able to evaluate this information, i will remind that this decision was adopted by the supreme council on the judge of the previous glass, the supreme council of justice, which at the same time unanimously spoke in defense of pavel vovk, other judges of the district administrative court and publicly asserted that the investigation of potential crimes that may have been committed by these persons is pressure on the court, that is, it is necessary to understand what kind of body was heated by the decision of ms. mykhaylenko and the higher anti-corruption court, which had disciplinary proceedings opened by the supreme council of justice at the time. the supreme council of justice tried to pressure in this way on

judges above the anti-corruption court in order to force them to make certain decisions , that's why we remember at one time analyzing whether there are grounds for those disciplinary proceedings that came to the conclusion that there were none that is, it was an attempt to put pressure on the judge of the anti-corruption court . time to analyze the entire body of judges according to some external criteria, but on the other hand, we understand that different environments , in particular, there are good political ones and so on. well , they always tried

to use judges in one way or another, or the currently established in addition to all that, there are some mechanisms for the protection, in particular, of the public, of the same judges from pressure, here it must be admitted that there will always be attempts at pressure. i think this is an integral part of any political process, including uh, here it depends on uh, uh, on two factors, first of all the judge or the judge herself, is he or she capable of resisting such pressure, and on the other hand, there are all mechanisms in the law to protect the essence from such illegal pressure. justice e-e has the tools to appeal to other authorities and make some decisions on its own in order to protect the judge from illegal pressure

. i had to say how high-quality this composition is. how much has the practice of this body changed? we still have to wait a little until it starts working at full capacity. i really hope that the members of the supreme council of justice feel a public request for e-e independence a fair court fee because i think you will agree that the public demand, especially at the time, is quite high and it is already very difficult to be forgiven e-e protection of non -virtuous judges on the other hand, pressure on those who really try to follow the law. we will see a little months, they will be decisive, we will be able to work, but somehow , somehow, you don’t really know, these moral tools of self-regulation do not work very well, because we see that corruption has not gone anywhere and integrity

has somehow not happened anymore, that is, i would ask anya do not generalize, there are different judges, there are different judicial environments, this is absolutely a very, very delicate story, because there are people who really very often accept, well, independence, but these people 's key task is to protect decent judges from possible one or another pressure or influence , the history of the case of the constitutional court was it is also quite indicative that three judges of the constitutional court of the key one of the fundamental state institutions wrote statements ahead of time about their dismissal or resignation from the position of judges of the constitutional court and judges and society well, because of the information barrage of the war and so on and so on well, somehow they reacted very sluggishly, mr. stepan. if we talk about the constitutional court, it has already become clear how everything will function now , in particular, has the story with the resignation of three judges at the same time, who could

still to work in their positions, in fact, with regard to resignations, i do not think that the situation there is any ambiguous, because the term of office of these judges had already expired, they had a few months left and this is not , let's say, it is not rare. practice when judges on the eve of the end of their term of office apply for resignation, this is somewhat related to the peculiarities of the status of a judge who is resigning and simply who did not resign but simply ran out of insurance, but you correctly noticed the possibility of the moment we are in to guarantee the independence of the constitutional court really the key body in the system of checks and balances in the ukrainian government er, well, now we are just in the process of implementing the reform, er, the reform

of the selection of judges of the constitutional court, and i i would like to remind you that the european union put this reform as the number one reform and the number one requirement on our way to maintaining the status of candidates for eu membership and the law was accordingly adopted, but the tsitsik commission expressed its comments, the evaluation commission still believes what is their influence on the selection and appointment of judges of the constitutional court? now we are waiting for a new draft law to be introduced, i am thinking of reading it to familiarize myself with it . the number of participants in the competition in this commission, or is it called by the way, the group of experts is not a political appointment, but still independent experts who can be both foreigners and ukrainian citizens

to ensure a transparent and independent competition before the constitutional court, but the foundation where - jure urges partners not to participate in the fake reform of the constitutional court of international partners, what is meant at this stage, of course, the law provides that the venice commission and international expert groups the law will not be changed in such a way that it corresponds to the recommendations of the venice commission, namely that the decisions of this advisory group of experts are binding and that the composition of this advisory group of experts includes one more representative of the eu according to the international quota, until this moment we consider it inappropriate that they be er, well, this means participating in a process that does not meet the recommendations of the political commission, and it means er

, breaking er, those obligations that ukraine has taken on the path to the future membership of the european union, we believe that the procedure should be as follows: first, changes to the law that correspond to the recommendations of the police commission, and then the participation of international partners in delegating their expenses to this expert advisory group, mr. stepan. thank you very much . stepan berko, the advocacy manager of the de jure foundation, was with us. in connection, it is extremely important to follow this difficult but important topic, or in fact it is the main one , not even one of the main e-e requirements and points from the european union to preserve our status as a candidate for membership this is precisely the reform of the constitution, the legal reform, the reform of the judges, simply put, for which country it was important

. yes, but the constitutional court is one, i repeat, one of the key institutions, so that helps the state in this or that difficult situation when it is necessary to quickly consider this or that, it is important, although possible within the sometimes controversial decision of the same verkhovna rada, yes, and the constitutional court, its composition is no less important history than the composition of the verkhovna rada, yes . well, we will try to help mykhailo saakashvili, there they approved a resolution about the situation with the former president of georgia, mykhailo saakashvili, the document contains a call to the authorities of georgia to release the politician and allow him to be treated abroad , let us remind you that poland has said that it is ready to accept the ex-president of georgia for treatment. well, in the meantime, scary news from the de-occupied snow river in mykolaiv oblast was found there the bodies of 27 people killed by russian interventionists

, the head of the mykolaiv regional prosecutor's office , dmytro kozak, said today that the bodies of the dead have signs of violent death by bullets wounds and injuries from ammunition explosions, the head of the prosecutor's office stated that, unlike bucha, kyiv region, there was no evidence of a mass burial of people in snyurivka, based on the facts discovered, criminal proceedings were initiated, the prosecutor emphasized that the full range of those involved in the crimes in snyurivka were currently being established, they were released on november 22 year well, the air also detected about six enemy air targets, previously they were balloons that move in space under the influence of the wind, but it turns out that they could carry six of them corner reflectors and certain reconnaissance equipment, well, for development, they were obviously used for all aerial purposes, air defense equipment

was working, the kyiv military administration reports that switzerland , meanwhile, decided not to confiscate russian assets, this would violate their constitution and undermine the existing legal order, i quote an internal working group headed by the federal office justice working group representing tatata under the leadership maybe someone reached the exhibition yet expropriation of private assets of legitimate origin without compensation is inadmissible under swiss law, the confiscation of frozen private assets contradicts the constitution and the current legal order, at the same time switzerland continues to consider the possibility of confiscating the currency reserves of the central bank of russia and other state assets and introducing tougher criminal penalties for violating sanctions, so let's hope now we from valevska go to mine, we pass

the word to another format, so two years behind bars will be conducted by a man from sumy who justified russia's aggression. he talked about the fact that in buchach - it was the ukrainians who shot on their own, well, during the investigation, everything was established and he was given two years about other collaborators. we have a special program, now we will watch it , collaborators in green kononenko watch this week's program collaborators traitors who surrendered ukrainian cities without a fight only those who work for the army and they also offered their function and how the mayors met the russian peace all republics the soviet union in the apartment with one single fist surrendered the cities without a fight and working with the racists, i congratulate olena kononenko and today in the program of collaborators i will talk about the mayors of ukrainian cities who betrayed the national flag by choosing instead the tricolor at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, almost all mayors

of ukrainian cities established effective communication prepared with the population for a possible defense, created humanitarian headquarters even if the community was under occupation , remained in place, coordinated green corridors, were in contact with the central government and journalists in general justified their status as mayors, and there were also those who waited for russian peace, forbade the creation of territorial defense, helped the rashists and dreamed of remaining mayor, but already under a different government. one of the first mayors of the collaborators was gennady matsara, the mayor of kupyansk , kharkiv region, his mayor elected in 2020 from the already banned political party, the opposition platform for life, the ideology of the russian federation for almost a year of war, we are well known there in honors, putin is not dying

, the soviet union and russia are the liberator, so when the army of the russian federation entered the city. on february 27, 2022, the commander of the battalion of the russian troops entered the city. on february 27, 2022 , the commander of the battalion of the russian troops posted a surrender video message about the offer of a border negotiation, and i accepted the decision of the negotiation section. housing, fuel and food , however, already in march, the collaborator turned to the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, and stated that his daughter had allegedly disappeared in ivano-frankivsk oblast after being detained by sbu officers with subsequent threats of reprisals against her. and already in april it became known that the mayor of kupyansk fled to russia with his family. after that, gennady

matsogora toured between russia and the occupied territories of ukraine. on may 9, he appeared in public in kupyansk during the victory day celebration organized by the rashists in the captured place let the day of victory pay even more for us how in the times of complex hostilities all the republics of the soviet union paid with one single fist of their a showed at a meeting of traitors from the kharkiv region when he signed the protocol on the creation of a fake civil administration and the election of its head, but such spying in front of the occupiers did not help him, according to the information of the head of the kharkiv regional military administration oleg senigomov matsegoru . last year, the russian security forces arrested such a fate awaits all traitors and our

the state, because they are not needed even by the occupiers . this is their systematic work, because they first use such people completely, their resource. well, after that, already from them, so to speak, well, relatively speaking, they were being cleaned, stopped tanks , set fire to enemy equipment with molotov cocktails, went to rallies with ukrainian flags . strategic importance, in particular, due to the presence of one of the largest ammunition warehouses in ukraine . on march 3, last year, when the russian troops entered the city of stolbovy, a red carpet was laid under

their tanks in a few days, the mayor the traitor held a meeting of the leadership of the balakliya city council, during which he urged his deputies to be loyal to both the occupation forces and russia in general. by the leadership of the russian federation regarding the establishment of the work of communal services in the city of kyiv, somewhere even after ukraine , they no longer give people anything. a lie, because at that time ukraine was delivering almost 50 tons of humanitarian aid every week, almost immediately after this video, the renegade left his community and fled with his family to moscow, at present, the columnist has been

charged with treason and collaborationism , and how do you deal with henchmen? we remember first uses, then cleans up, too who knows, maybe soon we will hear about the next arrest of our mayor, a collaborator who was taking and what will they come up with. so many collaborators are enough, but they are all consumables. they are waiting for a bullet or an accident or he did not surrender the city to the fascists, but he prepared for it and waited for the arrival of the so-called liberators. this is oleksandr gen., a former member of the party of regions. in 2020 , geno was elected as the head of the central buzka community in sumy oblast from the beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine on february 24, 2022. the general provided assistance to terrorists, passed on information to the fsb about

the movement of the armed forces of ukraine , reported on the types of their weapons. at the closed checkpoint on april 29 , he was detained on suspicion of treason and illegal transportation of persons across the state border. the gene identified here can commit other criminal offenses and continue to commit criminal offenses with which he is accused. close ties with the local government of the russian federation , military and power structures of the russian federation, which can provide his hiding in the territory of the russian federation, there was a need to extend the accused's death as a preventive measure in the form of detention for a term of nep, which does not exceed 60 days, without determining the amount of the weapons deposit, the forces of ukraine are courageously recapturing every meter of our captured land at a very

high cost, which the kremlin's posipaks were constantly becoming another example eduard konovalov he is the village head he is the village head of stary saltov since 2020 during the occupation of the village on march 9 konovalov gathered in the building of the village council of deputies at a meeting at which he declared that he would help the armed forces of the russian federation in solving issues of providing housing, food, vehicles, etc., and hoped for similar actions by the deputies, he said the same thing to the residents of the village, campaigning not to resist the invaders, but on the contrary to help them . however, the konovalov rashists were in no hurry to help as soon as the counteroffensive in kharkiv oblast began, the occupiers either turned into fertilizer or managed to escape, and without a traitor, because why do they need this already used

consumables? konovalov must have thought that ukraine will forgive him for his sins, so he stayed in stary saltov, but it did not happen as expected. the mayor of stary saltov was among the first collaborators of the officials who were detained in the kharkiv region . he was taken into custody on may 8, two days after the liberation of the village. accused of high treason, those mayors, collaborators who did not flee, who remained in ukraine today should be demonstratively punished. they should really receive huge sentences. they should receive exactly confiscation of property and so it will be. i voluntarily went to cooperate with the enemy and surrendered ukrainian cities. the armed forces of ukraine will definitely call all the captures of the territory and they will definitely sit down if they squeeze it was a program
