[000:00:00;00] community with a ukrainian point of view ilya samoilenko, a legendary fighter of the equally legendary azov with the call sign gendal went to fight in 2015, at that time he was studying to be a historian, but the desire to be a warrior turned out to be stronger in 2017, he was injured since then instead of his left hand, but this did not stop ilya he again learned to practice with weapons before a full-scale invasion , ilya went to mariupol, samoilenko was among hundreds of soldiers who remained under siege during the bombing in underground tunnels , and from there he told the whole world

about fierce battles in the city." well, the first day. it was the 24th. well, how am i , how , how, as i promised, i was at the right time, in the right place, with the right people. that there would be a full-scale invasion, and at that moment you had to be there. well, how i felt, i knew that

something would be obvious starting somewhere in november, i think. that's where all these reports from mh6 from american intelligence go there our european partners from the main intelligence agency and so on, that's just how we felt, yes, how did i personally feel about what i saw, yes, that everyone thought that it would be solved somehow in exactly the same way. well, nothing will happen . not mental things, as i said then, and i say the same now, before the beginning of the large-scale invasion, the russians had all possible levers of influence on us there, both economic and social, cultural, in some places , and political, but the main problem lies in that that well, as they say, as they say, karl von clause gave his famous books to the famous book about war, that war and the continuation of politics by other

methods . influence on us to continue to have influence, they could strengthen it in other ways, but as it seems to me, yes, they decided to simply change the rules of the game and challenge not only the security in the region, yes, as they say , geopolitical, some kind of base there the geopolitical balance there, and they challenged the system of collective security in general and, er, well, in the world order . that's how it can be said. well, because after the second world war, in a civilized country there, they began to negotiate with each other. not because of hostilities, but because of innovative sectors of the economy, because of the correct structure of society, more progressive, but because of which competitions , for example, a more effective system, well

, the russians decided well, i can’t get into head yes, but i think that almost everyone is obvious, yes, those are the analogies that were drawn there . yes, there is a guy with a school bully who wanted to show something to someone . so on. well, it's all very far fetched. yes, it's just worth understanding that if a resource, if i 'm an accumulated resource, if i 'm the tension of this resource . by throughout its great history, well great in terms of terms and years, it was its empire with absolutely clear, clear imperial characteristics, the first of which is the need

for expansion in many other empires there in past years there past millennia they also had this characteristic and expansion was necessary because the empire cannot live at the expense of itself, it cannot develop at the expense of planned calm progress, it needs revolutionary steps , the seizure of new territories, the rise of national consciousness and of national pride, if it is at all well, it is permissible to use such words there in the direction of russia well, because i think that it is not entirely

true , watch this week's program judicial control with tatyana shustrava, a competition without a competition, why is the government increasingly politicizing the procedure for selecting judges of the constitutional court, the risk of political influence is not decreasing, and how the new draft law pushes ukraine's european prospects away from the official position of the european union and the venice commission . congratulations. you are watching the judicial review and i am tetiana shustrova last year in june, ukraine received the status of a candidate for membership in the european union on the condition of fulfilling seven steps , the key of which is the implementation of judicial reform and the reform of the constitutional court, and if the judicial reform is slowly but surely moving forward

, the reform of the constitutional court is once again under threat, the worm is therefore planned more and more in favor of politicizing the selection of judges and thus not only disrupting the reform but also rolling back far back in the development of the judicial system as a whole, who and why is trying to prevent changes, let's tell today, but first to the news, one of the most odious judges in the country, the deputy head of the scandalous district administrative court of kyiv, yevhen ablov, has retired with honor, so the same abv owner of the golden porsche and the one who is being tried in the case of attempted seizure of state power and interference in the work of judicial bodies will now receive a life sentence maintenance from the state at the expense

of headscarves is about uah 1,000 per month , let's remind you last year the verkhovna rada liquidated the country's most scandalous court , the kyiv district administrative court. it is known for its high-profile decisions, including the cancellation of the new ukrainian spelling, the cancellation of the decision of the kyiv city council on renaming moscow avenue to bandera avenue, the recognition of the illegal nationalization of privatbank, the suspension of the process of renaming the uoc of the moscow patriarchate , in particular, judge evgeny ablov directly made the decision to disperse the protest on the maidan for the installation of a new year's tree , the european union and ukraine will recognize and will enforce each other's court decisions, the eu has taken a step towards establishing contractual ones

relations with ukraine within the framework of the hague convention on the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in civil or commercial matters. thus , the member states of the european union believe that there are no fundamental obstacles that could prevent the eu from entering into contractual relations with ukraine, this decision will make the convention an important tool to promote international trade , olena zhezhera became the head of the obolon district court of kyiv. this judge is known for a loud scandal . falsification of the case against maidan activist mykola pasichnyk in 2014. 72-year-old pasichnyk was beaten and thrown behind bars for allegedly organizing mass riots. olena zhezhera had to consider the application for the dismissal of her colleague judge vladyslav dvyatka. this is a very simple

procedure that took elena zhezhera six months, the judge hoped the disputes of our key partners, on which our european integration depends, and deliver weapons , supplies and financial assistance at the end of last year, the verkhovna rada passed a law on the change of the process, then the constitutional court of ukraine is created by law. by the way, a group of experts will be included in its composition, six members , one each from the verkhovna rada of the president and the congress of judges of ukraine, one person from the venice commission and two persons delegated by international organizations that provide assistance to ukraine in reforms in the sphere 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 allegedly

allow appointing worthy ones, but there is a significant at the moment, the selection scheme does not provide for any participation of representatives of civil society, instead, representatives of the authorities continue to participate in the selection of judges three out of
