care about everyone, everyone who is next to you, support, take care of people, always bring them closer, but the main result for ukraine , ukraine must win for everyone - it is important not to take your eyes off the pictures of soldiers on the wall of memory at other memorials, i thank everyone who works for the sake of ukraine, who fights for the sake of ukraine, just like that, worthy, brave, strong, glory to all our soldiers glory to our people, the people of ukraine , eternal memory to all who gave their lives for the sake of ukraine glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes eternal memory and forever glory to our heroes who died in the battles for ukrainian independence for our future with you, referring to the words of the president that he voiced in his address , this phrase touched me to be worthy of the path that is chosen for us

our heroes and, as for me, one of the elements of this dignity is to fight corruption, which is now grinding us from the inside, as for me , we will talk about anti-corruption initiatives and anti-corruption history in the near future. we are now adding yaroslav boshka, the head of the center for political studies, doctrine, to the broadcast. good evening. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. i congratulate you, mr. yaroslav. in the previous information hour, my colleague andriy dekhtyarenko already spoke about cases related to the ministry of defense, which are currently under investigation. all these cases are connected there with potential corruption , of course there are no conclusions of the investigation yet there are no court decisions, we are talking about potential things as they

can influence even at the stage of the investigation, for example on the attitude of our international partners on the desire of our international partners to provide us with help and support, first of all, to emphasize that the desire of international partners to provide us with help and support actually does not come so much from our successes in the fight against corruption, but because they do it primarily for certain geopolitical reasons realizing the need to defund russia so that democracy in the world does not finally become a fiction. that is, after all, it is, after all, more of a global geopolitical struggle with this so to speak, in the conditional axis of anti-democratic countries, the croats now definitely include russia as an aggressor state, and this is a war for international law and democracy, that's why they are supported in the first place, but the issues, let's say , are related to corruption. they always remain in the top priority because of that. that for western society the norm is an open culture in the media

and to open the discussion of various aspects related to the problems of the state, corruption is nothing more than a certain failure of the state in one or another area and therefore it must and in the west, and not only, western partners also pay such important attention. they would really like to see, if not some clear, unambiguous progress in overcoming corruption, although it is actually somewhat abstract because it is quite difficult to measure, but they at least want to see a full-fledged process of fighting corruption in in ukraine, that is, the appearance of investigations into corruption - in fact, i will tell you this, it is paradoxical, but it is still a signal for the west, including the fact that ukraine is waging a certain struggle with this, but in western countries, of course, they are waiting for court verdicts and not on this

fresh cases and cases that have yet to be completed in full-scale production and there are still no full-fledged judicial flights . how do you think international partners will support this initiative announced by president volodymyr zelenskyi regarding the equating of corruption with high treason ? that is, the moral guidelines that our western partners have, for example , international transparency, that is what they expressed in their statement about this, that for international partners, they believe that this it may be a bit too much, but look at the specifics of the difference between corruption and treason. here, i will say such a thing, it is more of a media image, because treason is voiced as a certain marker of insularism that a person is excluded beyond the limits of what is acceptable . the adviser is there is a traitor, yes, a criminal, he is still in a certain way within

society, but this difference is legal. yes , it must be expressed by certain administrative steps, which administrative step is proposed by the ukrainian authorities, and the transfer of related cases with these high-profile corruption accusations from the transfer of the anti-corruption vertical to sap to the transfer of the security service of ukraine, this step, in my opinion, may cause some criticism from western partners because we have seen before, even during poroshenko's presidency , various attempts to somehow narrow the options for the anti-corruption vertical, this is always came across rather quick and sharp criticism, for example from ambassadors j7, they regularly made such statements that were aimed at preserving this institutional independence of the anti-corruption vertical, so i think that here the ukrainian authorities can, for sure

, situational criticism from western partners , or something like corruption case i want you and i to listen to one of the statements of the minister of defense mr. reznikov and discuss it, i would simply invite everyone to treat information more critically and responsibly because it misleads society and worst of all, it also introduces the team of our partners because it looks like this is a mess and then the question arises whether we should trust this country, it has not changed, they are bad there during the war they are fooling each other and so on and so on i think that this irresponsible, irresponsible position and we are definitely not enemies of each other, the enemy is behind the front line, about the enemy, i definitely agree that it is behind the front line, but on the other hand, this statement appeared after

the mass media began to actively discuss the case of i'll buy krutok, if it's very brief, in your opinion, how should we communicate, how should we discuss these stories so that , on the one hand, we don't keep silent about them and don't tolerate corruption, on the other hand, really? well, don't rock the boat . here's the limit. first of all, i must emphasize that the coverage of such events must always be based on the operation of facts, the fact is not that there was corruption, but because the fact of corruption is established by the court in the indictment until that moment, she emphasized this before our conversation that we are talking about cases that are being investigated, but at the same time there is the fact that journalist so-and-so has made public the materials , which indicates the following, that is, it is important to separate

everything to the available fantasy, in my opinion, at the moment , this topic is discussed more in the media because all parties provide too much let's say media evaluations that do not have legal interpretations, for example, criticism of the ministry of defense. it was largely focused on the topic of procurement and price differences, and only accidentally in fact added this frame is winter or summer jackets as an option yes. that is, it was only a journalist's guess, but on the other hand, the ministry of defense decided that they should break down with criticism exactly this thesis about winter and summer jackets , while there remain certain other theses that, conditionally speaking, remain without answers, that is, here, in a certain way, this not quite legal logic is used by a part of the journalistic environment, and by appealing to certain still illegal

and incomplete conclusions, so does the ministry of defense, thus destroying not the entire policy, but let's say the most convenient frame for him to destroy, as for me, the state and society in this case are waiting for the intervention of arbitrators, so to speak. yes, and the only arbiter in this is the legal bodies of ukrainian law enforcement, which should as soon as possible put an end to why just so as not to rock the boat, because just like effective discussion of this issue in the media and effective reflection of criticism from the ministry of defense will never extinguish social negativity, social negativity is extinguished when there is e the legal decision was completed in the form of a court verdict, therefore, unfortunately, the slowness of judges, the slowness of domestic prosecution and investigation bodies, it actually plays the most negative image role to

highlight corruption and non-corruption opportunities, we heard your opinion, thank you for this conversation, yaroslav bozhko, head of the center for political studies, doctrine i will remind you that we are now talking about how to highlight anti-corruption topics and anti-corruption initiatives announced by president volodymyr zelenskyi, and he offers, i will remind you, to equate corruption with treason for the time being, while the war continues, the relevant draft law can be submitted to the parliament within a week, he said this during an interview to our colleagues from 1+1 , let's listen . regarding the equating of corruption with treason during wartime. of course, i understand that such a weapon cannot be used permanently in society, but during wartime , i think it will help. is it supported by

the legislator? i don’t know, but i will definitely suggest it. because we are developing a democratic society and it is very important not to twist the nuts and don't look at each time and at one or another acute and blatant case we must introduce systemic things, but so far the text of the draft law is not available, the president has not yet submitted it to the parliament, certain things are appearing er, such drafts are fragments in various snakes, they refer to their sources there, and we will touch on some of them, these fragments, but because of the fact that of those fragments that we will already say have been voiced in this way, let's listen to the adviser of the head of the president's office mykhailo podolyak of ukraine, here's what he said about what could be in this draft law regarding the strengthening of punishment for corruption, what can

be said with absolute certainty about a permanent anti-corruption infrastructure in the form of a nabu-sap-vax initiative will not apply to changes to the criminal procedure code, it allows detectives and prosecutors to increase efficiency work, we add to our conversation vitaliy shabunin , the head of the board of the anti-corruption center, vitaliy good evening glory to ukraine glory to the heroes good evening the words that we heard quoted by mykhailo podolyak regarding the fact that the anti-corruption structure has become, it will not be relevant to the corruption case , if it is equated with treason, then who should be relevant and is it correct in your opinion. let me simplify this as much as possible, an attempt to make the corrupt

were safe and not their own, it was possible to guess what i mean, there are no options in the text of the draft law to equate treason. and podolyak himself talks about changes in the criminal code and the criminal code will allow interpretation essentially the same crime under different articles, which means that there will be a choice, because the anti-corruption bureau or the sbu investigates the same crime. where they rotted and such cases in himself, he repeatedly said that you do not consider us yes, but the case in nabu, who handed over his suspicion, was taken to the sbu, which buried the case , therefore, this initiative pursues only one goal

, and only one, to make its own corruptors like the tatars were safe by taking their cases to the sbu. and those who are not, we leave theirs in the sky. let it work normally. there is no other purpose of this draft law . let’s assume that the purpose is really to increase the effectiveness of punishment for corruption crimes and military time. there are no problems. well, it is necessary. do two things, the first thing is that if a corruption crime is committed during martial law, it does not have a statute of limitations, this means that what was done now can be investigated in 20 years when there is another president, others the prosecutor general, when there will be no one to defend and agree, this is a super deterrent, first of all, we do not touch the investigation on any investigations and are investigating , it will be possible to simply reprimand corruption when

the government changes and there will be no one to defend, and the second thing is that their imf numbers are already registered i also apologize to the macro-finance from the eu to remove the so-called amendments of the vine, i.e. amendments to the criminal procedure code, which significantly complicate the process of prosecution for economic and corruption crimes, and i warn you. i agree with your speaker that very i wanted the law enforcement agencies to punish corruption faster, i agree with him, but the parliament adopted such changes that make it terribly difficult, and different parliaments know about it, the president's office knows about it, it has been said 100 times, so if there is really a goal to increase the effectiveness of punishment, then a simple recipe we do not touch the investigation , we remove the statute of limitations for corruption crimes valid during martial law and we remove the draft voice i only want

to emphasize that we as a public we call on all parties to express we invited the representatives of the president's office to this conversation, we wanted to hear their position , unfortunately, they did not join our conversation, but you and mr. tatarova mentioned it, and in general, we are ready to provide a platform here for them to express their position , and this is our moral and moral we have a moral obligation, and not only a moral one, as a society, for all parties to voice their position. congratulations. less than that, we are still talking about a draft law that we have not yet seen, and theoretically safeguards can be introduced into it. so you voiced which in your opinion, there should be what do you think will be a good service considering the attention of the public because we have been talking about this for the third day in fact we i mean

the mass media and society and i am sincerely grateful to you for this because there are only two ways to make this bill fulfill the purpose of actually ensuring the irreversibility of the punishment and not fulfilling the purpose not before not not bring god we will see the text when we see protect our corrupt people there public attention to the topic is the best one of the two best insurance factors so that the draft law does not go well, another factor is international partners, one of the key demands of the imf was exclusivity of investigation, a deluge of corruption crimes in the anti-corruption bureau itself, so that there would be no abuse of transferring cases to the imf , an extremely tough position on this matter, and we know for sure that this position will be brought to the attention of the ukrainian authorities, whether

it is more important for them to protect their corrupt officials from the financial assistance of the west, which, i will remind you now , is more than half of the ukrainian national budget, let them decide, i am right i would very much like to discuss the topic with you, or to discuss the text with tatarov . we are happy. we are happy to provide the site as soon as the texts are available. what to do with petty corruption, because we talk a lot about big corruption, but everything starts with small things, and unfortunately, it exists, but if we as an organization, you asked the question very well, because countermeasures against corruption at different levels must be divided into completely different ones tools when we are talking about major political corruption, the key factor is the irreversibility of the punishment for the crime of corruption. well, the top corruptor will always find a way to circumvent the rules, he and the top corruptor, then the official, when we are talking about

administrative or petty corruption, there is no other way than systemic reforms there you won't solve the problem with punishments, there are too many people involved, that's why top corruption is not the severity of punishments, shallow corruption and administrative or settlement - these are always only reforms, they heard thank you for joining our broadcast. vitaliy shabunin, the chairman of the board of the anti -corruption center, and we are talking about anti-corruption initiatives , in particular the president through i emphasize, we as a society are ready to provide a platform for discussion and to express our position to absolutely all parties and we are waiting for this a discussion in our studio, i am also interested in the only news for you , the social team is working, remind me my name is anna chernichenko, sign language translation is provided by tetyana zhurkova, next we will talk about

the strength of our energy system, how can it withstand the current temperatures due to the heat in ukraine, in particular, a new summer maximum of electricity consumption was recorded to cover it in the evening hours, we again received emergency aid from europe, ukrenergo reports this on facebook. well, we will ask the head of the board of ukrenergo in more detail about everything volodymyr kudrytskyi, he joins our broadcast. good evening . glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. good evening, mr. volodymyr. but today in some regions + 35 were recorded in kyiv, the frame can withstand all this quite well. it is difficult because during such high temperatures the consumption increases a lot, people turn on the air conditioners and accordingly consume much more electricity and that is why we really have had quite big problems covering this consumption there for the last two weeks , we have to ask for help from neighboring countries

. this is slovakia, poland, sometimes romania because actually, it is quite difficult to cope with such loads , the main problem for the power system now is the generation deficit, that is, many power plants , in particular, thermal ones, were damaged during shelling of last winter they are still being restored in planned repairs quite a lot of power units in nuclear power plants well, against the background of such heat it is of course difficult to cover consumption, especially in the evening, everyone returns home and turns on electrical appliances . that you can rely on emergency aid from your neighbors, you can rely on imports, which, by the way , are practically not available now due to the fact that changes in ukraine

or price restrictions in ukraine are lower than european prices, but the main thing, of course, is to have our own power plants in operation, and there is a certain plan that was formed by the ministry of energy, and this plan must be implemented, so only then will we be able to mitigate the deficit that we are currently seeing in the energy system before the start of the heating season, as far as we can say we will confidently stand on our feet in terms of electricity generation. well, i just mentioned this plan, you must be there, then we will be able to practically cover the consumption in most cases or in all cases. of course, this is under the condition of the absence of large-scale shelling, that is, this plan is now very important, besides, we will need electricity imports in the winter, not emergency aid

, which we now ask for from neighboring countries from time to time, namely, commercial stable imports, and for this we will need to fix everything - still regulation of the electricity market in ukraine because it is not a healthy situation when ukrenergo attracts emergency assistance from neighbors , which is more expensive, and commercial imports, which are cheaper, cannot enter the system because of these new restrictions on the market ugh, we have how this situation can be corrected and how will this affect electricity tariffs, by the way , it will not affect electricity tariffs for the population in any way because these tariffs are set by the government and they are unchanged and we are only talking about wholesale the price of electricity, which 99% of consumers in ukraine do not see and do not feel, this price is mainly for business, and as for large

industrial enterprises, this situation can be corrected by changing the regulation established by the national regulatory commission of utilities, mr. volodymyr, i understood correctly that in the winter we will not be able to avoid electricity imports in any case. imports will be needed and we really hope that these imports will go, then it will be much easier for us to balance the power system . but as i said, the main task of importing imports is to restore generation to restore the maximum number of power units damaged during the past shellings , i will come back because i have it, and have you calculated what volumes of imports we will need on average, we currently have a technical the possibility of importing 1.2 gb of power is more than one nuclear unit, and approximately the same power will be needed by the ukrainian
