. congratulations to yuriy. good morning. congratulations, but first i would like to know. we remember that your m.m. i don't know if you can say scandalous , but it's loud. that's right, the article appeared like that in the mirror of the week about food procurement of the ministry of defense, if anyone remembers this saying about eggs for uah 17, then here is the person who dug up the numbers. yuri, has something changed in food procurement in the ministry of defense after your text came out? well, as of today, the glass is already half full ministry of defense finally, the correction has been made public, so to speak, the contracts have been clarified and the prices for many items have really been reduced. this is good news. this is the second news that they are still digging and digging because the prices have unfortunately been reduced , but not as much as, well, even in others.

power structures, well, conditionally speaking potatoes. it is good that they lowered the price to 14 hryvnias from 22, but we see that in stores it is exactly 8 or 9 hryvnias and at the border guards. there is still a lot of work to be done and there is still a lot of work to be done. legislators and government officials are currently working on how to build up the procurement work of the ministry of defense so that you don’t have to blush again. someday the next turn for new contracts will come. well, the minister of defense is in his position. in in principle, we did not call for him to be fired, we called for an investigation into the situation, some officials were fired, what happened to them next, were they brought to justice or, on the contrary

, did they remain? to be honest, i did not check this information. they did not leave the minister, and one of them is indeed an advisor there, but there is a criminal case against him, but it concerns other purchases. that is, it is not about food. well, as they say, good luck to you. the main thing. well, i have only such a great hope that i will do my homework and qualify the actions of everyone in this story according to the criminal procedure code so that those who will be engaged in procurement in the future in the ministry of defense should not draw those crazy prices again one large investigation that we discussed during several programs with you concerned the construction of roads in the dnipropetrovsk region where, as we remember, these contracts were concluded with a structure related to the head of the region and was

much more money was spent on roads than in other regions, which raised suspicions that not all of this money went to roads. what happened to this investigation , were there any consequences, or did it work at all ? in the case of the ministry of defense, are the investigations partially working, or are they working in general, if we speak from your practice , well, president volodymyr zelenskyi just when the egg scandal broke out , he was the one who organized certain purges. and at the same time, the governor was also fired dnipropetrovsk region does not even dare to call him the head of the regional administration, and he, along with several other governors who were involved in corruption scandals there , were dismissed with one stroke. the proceedings are by the police

, but the information i receive from dnipro indicates that these are criminal proceedings, so that they were assigned to the local police for many years with valentyn reznichenko lived soul to soul well, there are no movements there, no suspicion is announced to anyone well, nothing happens , that is, but at least there is a resignation, so here every viewer can make a choice how to treat such stories, the dustpan is half full or half empty or one is enough resignations, or do we need a more effective punishment ? well, that is, we see that political responsibility comes, after all , as a result of publicity, but criminal responsibility does not yet come to criminal responsibility for such crimes. perhaps it is still needed

additional publicity well, what are we doing in er right now er me this is absolutely not er not on the topic of our conversation but i just want to express my gratitude to you for traveling around the regions i know you were alone it was canceled from our programs because you were in ivano-frankivsk , where you gave lectures and talked about corruption cases . what kind of trip was it? hmm, what kind of tour are anti-corruptionists, uh, you know local journalists, you live in zhytomyr, in ivano- i was called to the frankish house he is coming, talk about corruption, because it is very correct to tell people what is going on there so that people will change their attitude towards tolerance for corruption. well, it is such a big myth that

ukrainians are very tolerant and... let's say we are so committed to the fact that you know that my godfather could solve everything. well, that's why he traveled with such performances and personally saw that in reality many people are not like that. defense i felt from the side of the ukrainians, it shows that this mythology is largely based on the fact that we were simply told about it on oligarchic television, so to speak, and ukrainians do not like it, is it true and can other regions invite you to myself to turn to you as much as you have, there is such an inner desire to continue, well, such trips, i may provoke with this, uh, some new invitations for you, well, i'll show you , we'll see. because actually it turned out to be a very exhausting marathon, but i, i understand how

important it is for me to give people e- well, confidence in because eh, in fact, everything is not so bad, sometimes it is just enough to feel that you are not alone . well, there are different opinions here, for example, regarding the latest court cases, you know that there is an ongoing case against the former head of naftogaz , eh, mr. andriy kobolev, the court issued him bail in in the amount of several hundreds of millions there 259 i think i'm afraid to make a mistake eh and eh hryvnias is a really big amount and even i heard that people started giving up on the pledge although the wife announced a fundraiser everything is true and although the person is not poor and we know that the cause of such a court case actually became a prize of 10 million dollars , it seems that what a-a well, according to the investigation, he wrote himself out

, as he says that the supervisory board wrote him out for- successful court cases eh what is your attitude to this case well, here the story for me consists of absolutely two parts. the first part , did andriy kobolev have to receive such a prize to claim, well , relatively speaking, morally, there are some rules, yes . here, he is absolutely a supporter of the position that he had absolutely the work he did and he i will remind you that he organized and defended the struggle of naftogaz against gazprom, which brought us billions of dollars, you know, this is the kind of living cash , in fact, he dragged them into the country and took them away from the aggressors, and his role here cannot be underestimated, because the organization of such a

lawsuit he had to involve a bunch of people, lawyers there, pr people, managers, and so on. i understand perfectly well, i heard something like that that during that struggle, how much depended on the role of the manager, who at any moment could wash his hands of this story, well there somewhere somewhere to screw something up somewhere not to do something on time somewhere not to help the lawyers to collect some documents, he could just take a bribe and the russians, can you imagine the russians who risk losing hundreds of dollars because they would agree to give tens of millions of dollars if the ukrainian side just lost somehow something didn't work there somewhere. and it was enough to just not be very active in this direction, it was enough just not to collect any pieces of paper

, so 10 million dollars for everything was done very well, they attracted a lot of dollars, a completely normal story , but the other side of the coin is this bureaucratic legal one, which the detectives got hold of, well, let's put it this way, i absolutely understand that our, well, our government, which existed there for many years in the soviet paradigm. bureaucrats ah, he, well, he acted as he acted. do you remember that there was political competition back then, groysman was on the lookout for reformers, parasites, etc., and so on, that's really all there, kalapuntseva, and there 's the legal side of the coin. well, as far as i'm concerned i know it's really not as clean as it would seem, it could be and as it would like to be, but it's here that everyone is hostage to the fact that , due to various compromises , the work on bringing order to the government is not done properly in time, and

then some such scandals are unfolding. and why did kobolev belong to the great political clan of boris lozhkin, who was very influential in ukraine at the time, that is, the head of the president's office was on his side , but unfortunately, even the head of the president's office could not influence large normal changes and they are hostages of the fact that at different times everyone makes some kind of compromises and then become their hostages. well, well, we have one more case , well, it is related to the former minister of infrastructure of ukraine, er, andriy pivovarskyi, and there is such a similar situation that the government made the decision there was a law, and on the basis of that law, by-laws were adopted and the minister signed this by-law act and , according to the investigation, he caused damage to the state. also, there is currently an election. as far as i know, it is

a preventive measure and has he been told what is necessary will pay the money at the next court hearing on the sixth of march, the same situation, or is it different? well, here the situation is even easier for me. from the point of view of the law, he is more protected, that is, even the legal side of the case is not so problematic, so i am sure that well, yes, this case will be solved normally, on the side of justice, or not. i don’t know what to even call it, because it is in this story there where brewery signed well, what did he do? he ordered that on-board fees, well, half of the port fees should be received by a company

that is really, well, engaged in the improvement of the port, well, that is, so that it simply received fair funds that were supposed to be spent exclusively on the development of the port, and it is not a laying of some kind of terrible no, it is really a port a company that ran a business there, so let's put it this way, detectives really are better, well, in time, they would have thought on the shore if it was even worth waking up like that. the third one with a surname that was heard in the news. it breathes yevgeny difner, who headed the boryspil airport, and there the story is related to the fact that for a very long time these commercial sites at the airport have not been played out, well, for shops for various actions duty free is the state property fund as far as i understand or who should have done it and the head of the airport temporarily extended the validity of the old contracts that

he should not have done well, the court proved that i understand that he should not have done and he was sent to a colony for 5 years so here the situation is exactly the opposite i even wrote an article today already published about this a-a mr. dihne who was also rushed well, some kind of support group turned out a-a in fact the situation is far from as positive as with the predecessors of the others we talked about, the fact is that hmm er, i even googled him n- i looked up those old stories with previous contracts, everything is much simpler. the state property fund should hold tenders for the distribution of space at the airport, uh, under the yutifry there, and all these other shops, uh, he uh, well, let's just say that the airport didn't do this either, well or he took his own breath and concluded the so-called preliminary ones well, i just took the contracts and signed them without any competitions, but with these companies

there at an undervalued price, it seemed. you can transfer it to the background of state property , but in fact , if you go back to those years. and arthur grans, such businessmen, politicians, uh, she never had that monopoly there, let's say, she didn't want to, somehow, she didn't initiate only competitions that would prevent her from continuing to receive that monopoly in the port and uh, the same scheme with by previous contracts, i found that she was connected with kolomoiskyi's company, and with some other structures, there is one, uh, one company that belongs to, excuse me, which one belongs to uh, well, uh, is there a businessman, or is he related

to a famous barman company, uh, they wanted to give her the most promising and most profitable warehouse of the boryspil airport, and all of this was done in vain. in fact, he completely refused to let the airport itself conduct the handling business of the port at the airport in favor of kolomoisky's company, including the company directly belonged there to a small international airline of ukraine, and so after all these attempts , when the minister of piovarysky, whom we just talked about , is positive . i'm sorry, you worked in private interests. well, for example, you can remember the president or chancellor of germany , a scumbag who worked for gazprom. when he was chancellor, he dragged germany into the pipeline.

then he went to work for gazprom, and this became a marker of corruption for all germans . the situation is simpler. thank you for the explanation and for the details of these high-profile cases. on the air, the editor-in-chief of the publication of our money, which knows everything about corruption and the fight against corruption. i am andriy yanitskyi, the host of the economic news program on the espresso tv channel . i say goodbye to you until monday. see you on

, please tell us what the operational situation is i think you know that in the south the calm situation is under control today and yesterday the enemy hit the ochakov community with barrel artillery, actually more hmm reports of the general staff and authorized persons, according to official information, there are no casualties either among the military or among civilians, we are working next what is the current intensity of hostilities? do you see any changes? well, now. almost without changes . uh, daily shelling and artillery duels with the other bank of the dnieper. in fact, the situation has not changed for several months. zelensky on the eve of march 2, he replaced the head of the military administration of kherson instead

of galina lugova. the kherson city military administration was headed by roman rochko. what do you know about this replacement and the new head of the military administration of the city , please, but unfortunately i did not communicate with mr. morochka, i would like to personally to congratulate him and wish him success, i think that he, as a person close to the military actions of the pre-war actions, should quickly get up to speed. especially since he was in the village department the ministry of internal affairs has a lot of work to do before the de -occupation of the territory of kherson oblast .

in order to bring victory closer, and we will consider success in his hard work as mr. rochka. well , the shirt, what is known about him romana he graduated from yura academy of yaroslav the wise , first worked in the morning of the prosecutor's office from the 11th year as a deputy military prosecutor of the chernihiv garrison of the central region of ukraine, worked as a deputy military prosecutor of the vinnytsia organized well, then held the position of military prosecutor of the luhansk garrison of the ato forces, is a former deputy military prosecutor of the southern region, has the title of honorary citizen of the city of severodonetsk , was awarded the sign for the development of the region , please tell me, mr. pavlo, what it is known about mr. igor kolikhayev, the mayor of kherson . i have been asking this question for a long time, because since july of last year, it is unknown where he is where is he located, is he in captivity, is he in trouble with the occupiers , is he in crimea, is he in russia , is he in the basement, and so somehow this question

seems to concern only me well, somehow there is very little information, the person has disappeared and there is no criminal law. maybe there is, but somehow there is very little information from the law enforcement officers about him, after all, he is the elected mayor of one of the largest cities of the regional center of ukraine. what do you know ? of course, i have no information about mr. kolykhaev, but what one woman said or something what people in kherson are saying, is the person located above the temporarily occupied territory, is there a connection with him or does he work with the law enforcement officers, you should ask directly the functional heads of law enforcement agencies working in the kherson region well, there are indeed people who are currently performing their duties, i do i understand, and the mayor of the city, and the position has been clear to people

since february 24, because who is on which side , everything is already clear well, he is there, sir, he is there, the woman said that he is in captivity there or is he free there is located in the occupied territory, it is unlikely, i think that it is better, well, not his retreat, will you have someone from the city of hura, or, er, people from the foreign intelligence service, in more detail, but there is no such information that mr. mayor is in captivity . stated that there are now missile carriers in the black sea and that the probability of launches from submarines is increasing, but that massive missile attacks may remain a thing of the past because they have certain problems with stocks. we previously

more often they talked about some probable stockpile of russian weapons in general, missiles in particular. but now somehow we don’t talk anymore because, well, is there any reason to evaluate how do you feel about such statements? a threat to the e-e units and in particular the naval forces and the ground forces that are in the southern direction, therefore , appropriate measures are being taken to ensure the personnel and how powerful the next attack can be. i think that these units are hm air defense, in particular in the south, are working out the tasks before them with sufficient skill, and to date there have been minimal losses among

the civilian population and among the architecture of our south and among the personnel of the armed forces. therefore, we thank the air defense forces for our reliable protection. airborne landings are conducting training, they are being carried out technically and physically, we are ready to meet the enemy. and those who came and joined the ranks of the armed forces , completed their studies under the relevant programs abroad and are returning to their units
