the dishonesty of one of the judges , all his colleagues will be responsible. the matter may come to the use of a lie detector. zhernakov emphasizes that all draft laws destroy the independence of the judicial branch of government and it is worth solving the issue of personnel renewal of the supreme court. without it, there will be no supremacy or investment, the journalist iryna fedoriv quotes the head of the foundation. the question of ruba, to rename chervonograd or to keep the old name, the battles regarding the change do not subside in the lviv region toponym that falls. under the decolonization law. our correspondents found out what position the local authorities take and what the residents think. chervonograd activist volodymyr tkachyk shows a statement about the commission of a criminal offense by local authorities. according to the man, the renaming of chervonograd

has no historical or documentary basis. it was not the communists who took down the monument to lenin, but the patriots who came from siberia, they took down the monument and raised their voices. left the city, what is necessary, what is necessary, 70 years have passed, two generations have grown up, good people, what are you imposing on people from krestinopol today, the national commission on june 30, 2023 excluded the city of chernograd from the list of cities subject to renaming, that's enough, this is an official document, from the beginning of the 90s x in chervonohrad are discussing the topic of renaming the city. in august of this year, the ukrainian institute of national memory voiced a recommendation to change the name, in accordance with the law on decolonization, on october 2, the city began consultations with the public. and only we are in general in the assembly of residents of people, legal entities, a person, not a natural person, do we have the right

to decide whether to change the name or not? the city authorities have created a special working group that studies the opinion of residents about the renaming. the people of chervonohrad could propose their name for the city. we had consultations with the public in the people's house, that is, consultations with the public involved two parallel processes: these are consultations in electronic form on the website in the electronic democracy section and also for those people who may not use electronic means of communication, they had the opportunity to express their opinions in the people's house. renaming does not threaten additional inconveniences for residents, the local authorities assure, as for documents, people will not need to change all documents at once, that is, our passports will remain valid in case of renaming, we understand that there will be certain expenses, it will be necessary to change the plates to cities, it will be necessary to change the tables there on the admin buildings, legal entities must

change the seal. chervonohrad residents are different relate to the renaming of the native city. well, i think that chervonograd is a fairly normal name, there is no need to change it. this is not an association. with a soviet name, it is generally associated with a mining town, don’t tell anyone, i studied in kyiv, don’t tell anyone, everyone knows the mining town of chervonograd, we need to change, but we need to think about how to change, i spent my entire childhood here in chervonograd , and i don't want to change the name. krestynopil, khrystynopil, novy dvir, shaptytskyi chihaidachny, these and other toponyms are offered by residents on the website of chervonogradska of the city council, if by january 27. the community will not agree on a new name, the verkhovna rada will rename the settlement based on the recommendations of the ukrainian institute of national remembrance, kateryna oliynyk, volodymyr studenny, espresso tv channel. 14 valuable historical artifacts stolen by the russians were returned to ukraine. this is an ancient

weapon from the eneolithic to the middle ages. archeology objects were tried to be illegally imported into the united states of america, but there they were handed over to the embassy of ukraine. then the ministry of foreign affairs delivered the exhibits to kyiv, the artifacts will be temporarily left in the kyiv-pechersk lavra national reserve, and then the ministry of culture will determine the place of their exhibition. i would like to note that over 20 illegal shipments of archeology items were detained in the usa last year. they can be ukrainian. they risk their lives to feed people. police white angels delivered 1,500 fresh loaves of bread to avdiivka, distributed them to people and handed them over to locals. will be enough for every resident, because approximately that many people now live in the city, which is constantly stormed by russia, - noted the donetsk police. on this that's all, we'll meet at 3:30 p.m., read more about important things on our website espress, subscribe to our channels on social

networks, stay close, and meet my colleagues, antin borkovskyi and oksana vysochanska, later on espresso. thank you to our tireless journalists, thank you annievilnyk, and now we are moving to analyze the events in the middle east. we understand that the third world war may break out there, although we have a feeling that it has already begun, there after russia's attack on ukraine, vitaly kulyk with us, the director of the center for researching civil society problems. glory to ukraine, mr. vitaly, we congratulate you, glory to you, well, the age-old, very tough and very specific speech of president joseph biden, yes, and he said that in general there will be enough aid for aid, and for the state of israel, and for ukraine. so on... how actively do you think president joseph biden will be able to implement what he verbalized,

the key story here is to do, not just say, but do, enter into a serious game, well, for good reason two aircraft carrier groups are already on the coast, yes, and they sent an additional flagship there, well, first of all, it is really important his speech, he gave the points that we he connected two stories of israel's war against hamas, the terrorist threat and the war of ukraine against the russian aggressor into one story, this is a story about the defense of democracy and identified israel and ukraine as strategic partners of the united states, and this is very important, because in fact we are in the same row as key partners of the united states outside of nato, although not we have of such a status formally, formally legally. this is very important, now the question is whether

the white house will be able to pass the necessary funds through the parliament, through the congress and the senate, but this means that ukraine, which is important, that ukraine remains, not just remains, but is in the focus of attention and providing military support - political, military, first of all, on the part of the united states, there will be no redistribution of this... aid at the expense of ukraine to the side of israel, although there is now information that some percentage of b-supplies are redistributed from stocks for ukraine in favor of israel, in fact , the aid, military aid, military-technical aid, which goes from the united states to israel, is of a specific nature. rezal needs equipment and ammunition, as well as technologies related to the fight against terror.

with terrorists who are deep underground, in bunkers and underground passageways, this is help with point and specific weapons, as well as armored vehicles and armored vehicles, which are needed for conducting urban or urban warfare, and these are primarily anti-terrorist means , therefore, at this stage of this war, israel... against hamas, there is nothing to worry about, but there is a risk that the war will spread, expand, and from a proxy war, this war will turn into a confrontation between already great powers, in particular, the possible inclusion iran in this confrontation, then, perhaps, indeed, in the united states there will be a question of at least balances in the provision of military assistance to all allies, without exception, who

need this assistance, primarily ukraine and israel, but there is still enough far, and in general there are many objections or reservations that such a thing is possible, today we see exactly a proxy war, this is how it spreads, israel is moving to a ground operation, it is not difficult, it is also possible to start an operation plus or minus, well, the key story is how to get out then from the gas sector, as we remember, the so-called long campaigns , taking into account what is called very dense construction, underground passages, bunkers, well , in general, the arab terrorists were preparing for something similar, well, maybe not on such a scale, yes, well, secondly, it's them are closing in... they're using children and women as human shields, they're infiltrating

the civilian population, and that makes it difficult to conduct a ground operation, and there's also the question of hezbollah, whether hezbollah will enter a full-scale military conflict with israel, now there's positional shelling, or, whether this confrontation will turn into a full-fledged war on the territory, on the ground against hezbollah, and that is another story, it has military equipment and missiles and it is sufficient for a long war. now military experts say hamas can too to be armed. the latest weapons that will complicate a ground operation for israel, therefore, if it is a long war, then it is obvious that a certain redistribution of support will take place, but again i emphasize, we are not talking about a substantial reduction in support for ukraine at the expense of israel's support, this is a redistribution, if and it will happen, it will happen only in

specific weapons, and even in that, and this is a question of even the allocation of this weaponry, which is not provided for by supplies to ukraine, 10-20,000 tons of ammunition, there certain calibers that ukraine needs does not cover our need for millions of ammunition , so these are not commensurate quantities, how much is needed for ukraine, for one day of launching a war against russia, how much is needed by israel to replenish their resources, in addition, it has a good military an industrial complex that provides the lion's share of its ammunition and equipment needs. what can you say, unfortunately, about ukraine, at least in terms of ammunition, since we have already mentioned ukraine and the support of the states, mr. vitaly, the batch is small, but we used all the zatakams for the first time, we saw the result

and those imaginary red lines that only exist somewhere in someone's head, as if. nothing, yes, crossed them, nothing happens, the reaction of russia, well, putin said that they can shoot it down, well, he was indignant, and that's all, do you think that after this step, the united states of america will go even further in its support, and actually , what could be the next such step, i am not talking now about f16 and what else could be, what else could be support, maybe also, some kind of presence much closer, the military, well, let’s not wear rose-colored glasses, we shouldn’t expect here the continent of the united states, military to support ukraine, this, it’s obvious, and the second, and biden even talks about it in his speech, that by supporting ukraine, they are doing a large investment in democracy and

thus keeping their own armed forces from reporting directly to russia, they do not send american soldiers here to fight. but the fact that the aircraft carrier group is in the mediterranean sea closer to the bosphorus, the fact that the united states clearly articulates its support for ukraine not on a residual basis, but by placing us on the same level as a strategic partner, what the united states emphasizes is that it has enough resources to support all its allies in different parts of the world, wherever the enemy is to try... to carry out actions, an action to stir up or start new military conflicts, it is very important, i think that after the attacks, we can count on missiles with a longer range, and maybe not in the volume that we would like for destruction

the same crimean bridge, but this will be enough to strike at an aerial drone, thereby pushing away the bases of russian strategic aviation or tactical aviation from the front line, increasing the time of fate, accordingly, the time of preparation of ukrainian forces to repel attacks, this will improve our defense and will make it possible to respond more effectively, long- range missiles pose problems for provisioning. and delivery of equipment for the russian army at the front, this also increases our combat capabilities, and of course, this destruction transport corridors, russia is now actively building a railway that should connect donetsk and mariupol, and thus simplify the transportation of equipment for ammunition to the southern

front, in fact, we had a sufficient number of missiles, medium and long range, we would the corridors were of little concern, we were renovating earlier than they would have laid new sleepers, and i think that the united states is already approaching this, and the next step will be to send these missiles from a range of 300 and more kilometers. mr. vitaly, stay with us, we have you now a few minutes of pause, after a short break, we will return and continue our conversation. the child has caught a virus, mother vera has faith in dekasan, inhaled dekasan gets into the lungs where the virus dekasan works, mother vera is happy, dekasan is an antidote to viruses and bacteria, and dekasan is also indicated for angina, dekasan is an inhalation antiseptic, and what do you think about lacal fix , fixes reliably, my dentist advised me,

espresso in the evening. information day of the tv channel in rozpol. vitaly kulyk, in touch with us, is the director of the center for researching civil society problems. we analyze the connection of two large bridgeheads. the middle east is such a big bridgehead of the russian-ukrainian war. yes, mr. vitaly, we understand that the needs of israel, in particular, what will go there from the american warehouses, well, in general , we would also need it, but this is not critical the intersection of interests, as far as i understand, that's what it is, the key story, how do you think it's right for us to use , well, let's not be, let's not be cynical, but let's be a little selfish, how should we use the current world situation in order to get the help of someone more. aid is purely for us, so we understand that the packages are starting, and on the one hand it is good, well, because we hope that the american congressmen, republicans will not go against the interests of the state of israel, which

are really under an existential threat for them, but also for us, this threat is existential. yes, the fact is that the ukrainian topic is currently quite hot and is used by critics of the biden administration, republicans, especially trumpists , emphasize in every possible way that here we have an abyss of corruption and throwing money into ukraine, it harms national interests and does not coincide with the goals of ukraine. not with the goals of the united states, that it is possible to restart relations with russia and the like, but tying us into one story, tying us to a large package of aid allocation, it in fact, removes this sharpness of contradictions and allows biden, his administration, to conduct support, ensure voting and

the necessary allocation of funds for this support. and also to achieve some consensus, i don't think they'll be able to do it fully to biden, but the fact that it will simplify or provide and arguments or counterarguments in relation to trump criticism, that's obviously, selfishly, that's the right thing to do, and in fact, this speech by biden, well, it was, went beyond the expectations that were there with regard to the tactics of the white house, this, i believe that this, that this is an achievement, that this is exactly the emphasis that has been placed, that this is exactly what is defined , the policy of the united states in support of two countries that defend democracy and wage an existential war for their own existence, israel and ukraine. er, now it's up to

the white house itself to get this message across. this whole construct, it was disseminated in the information field, was conveyed to the republican and democrat voters, and that this acuteness of the ukrainian issue, she was dissuaded that she entered the margins, and even the trumpists could not strongly use anti-ukrainian rhetoric there or the idea of ​​freezing aid to ukraine in general, this is a problem, but it is achievable, i think it is in the interests of ukraine for it to happen. mr. vitaly, we literally have one and a half minutes, but the issue here is not only that we get the necessary weapons, there is another point, because the other side, the opponents, also constantly receive some kind of support, and this is also support from north korea. yes, because it already is the assumption that israel was attacked using, in particular, their weapons , and also iran, and especially after october 18,

when... they were able to start negotiating somewhere and transfer their missiles, are there any new mechanisms that can be used to prevent the spread of weapons from these countries to terrorist countries? well, first of all, no arms transfer from north korea to russia happened without beijing sanctions, that's the first thing, obviously we have a problem now, it's a problem at the level of the un security council. and international enforcement mechanisms sanctions mechanisms imposed on north korea. korea, north korea gets out of these sanctions mechanisms, avoids them, thanks primarily to china, so the pressure from the united states, the world community, collective action on china in the matter of preventing the spread of weapons from north korea is important. and the second is that, of course, iran is now at the stage of negotiations with the west, primarily the european union

, to lift... some sanctions positions, and these negotiations are taking place quite intensively and actively and successfully in some issues for iran, therefore, deterring iran is possible through, well, conditionally speaking, bribery, and in relation to korea, it should really be increasing pressure on china and exposing arms supply schemes, to show china that it is participating in this. to create uncomfortable positions for beijing, to expose this history, and in this, by the way, ukraine should also participate, because these weapons are not only in the middle east, but are used by russia against ukraine, and this, this is mr. vitaly, thank you for analysis.
