they shot him first, and then they burned the car, the commemoration events continued directly from the morning, because... safety advice and compliance with safety rules people do not gather in the evening. according to the words of the co-organizer of euromaidan, also the first in zaporizhzhia, the student protest action and maidan, yaryna gerashchenko. many are now in the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine. the defense forces protect the borders of our homeland, so they can be mentioned directly by telephone. now you can see the video. yaryna gerashchenko shared his knowledge. in november 2013, the girl was a third-year student at of the national university, and how do you now remember the days when i heard that the then regime of viktor yanukovych did not sign the association agreement with the european union and decided , together with other students from other universities in zaporizhia, to go to protest actions

right next to my university, also on mayakovsky square with the eu flag, in order to defend the right of ukraine for european values, i ask for direct language, i and some other students left, let's say against the system, we didn't care, we wanted to show our point of view our position regarding what was happening in the country, and we stood near my university, we stood and held a student strike, well, literally, well , we stayed there for three hours , and students from other universities came to us, because they just dispersed there, so near there were us too, on at that moment the policemen, they were there, but they did not interfere with us, according to yarina grashchenko, unfortunately, already some of the heroes of the then euro...' maidan, maidan, as well as oto uos, already died during defending the borders of ukraine itself already during a full-scale war. also, for almost 10 years now , the court case regarding the dispersal of euromain in zaporizhzhia against volodymyr serba, the then head of the zaporizhia regional department

of the national police, has been going on for almost 10 years. the man is accused of his own power of abuse official duties, the violent dispersal of the euromaidan, as well as the direct organization of mass riots, the court cases are still not closed, they are still ongoing, i am asking now for the direct speech of the lawyer elena yarkina, she actually speaks and represents the interests of the victims during the euromaidan, because... a person was declared the accused serba , who was declared an international wanted person, then this provision of the law does not apply to him in this case, and therefore, we will insist that the court fulfill the requirements of this regulatory act and continued to hear the case even despite the statement, if there is such a request from the accused, that we ask to close the case in connection with the influence of ten years ago. the next court session in the case of volodymyr

serba will be held tomorrow, november 22. thank you, colleague, it was our margarita galich, a correspondent on the commemoration of the heroes of the heavenly hundred in zaporizhzhia. euromaymay participants were one of the first to go to the front, created volunteer battalions and are still defending ukraine from russian aggression. then there are several stories when he protests. with the maidan was dressed in military uniform, we were marching, marching towards the association with the european union, and here bam, we are leaving, let's hug the dictator, no one knew , in fact, that it would grow into a huge movement, it looked like another rally that gathered people there that they know each other, hundreds of us went to training directly from under the stage of the maidan. center of internal troops in petrivtsi. they were among the first to go to the euromaidan. andriy

davydov, a journalist at the time, in one of the most famous photos on november 21, 2013, a man with a flag in the center. the first clashes took place near the cabinet. and then also on the european square. but the beating of the students here, then of course the next day, well actually on saturday, it was sofia kyivska, there was a spontaneous beating. people demanded something, and already on december 1, everyone went to the bank and there were the first fights. andrii was on the maidan until february 18, 2014, he was wounded in the morning of that day, later he joined the lavrul police because he wanted to reform the system, and in 2018 he joined the armed forces, where he still works as a military journalist. egor soboliv was also on the maidan in november 10 years ago, he says he remembers every rally. it was bad weather, it was snowing. and we thought that the people of kyiv would wake up in the morning, they would read in the news that some steadfast people

stood up all night for the european course, and maybe then people would have the motivation to come and join, and it turned out to be a wise decision. yehor soboliv believes that the maidan laid the foundation of the struggle that continues to this day, in 2014 the man became a people's elected representative, and on february 24 , 2022, he carried out his first combat mission to the district airport of zhulyany, now he manages the work of the air defense forces, but volodymyr pastushok immediately left the maidan to defend the country. and this was the first good news after the maidan shooting, it was the first, it was elation, it was hope, it was the spirit of freedom, will and struggle. in the army, pastushok participated in the liberation of cities for almost 10 years. however, he says: it became more difficult after the russian full-scale invasion. from the very beginning in the war, saw how it all happened. well , the scale of all this, even in my head, they still do not fit in, i see how

villages with people were bombed, i saw, well, how simple houses were shot up, well, the russian army is heading straight away, the plane is just coming, it’s just that the enemy’s brutality, we are still amazed, among those who first went to the independence square was the journalist taras matviev, his mother valentina recalls, her son did not said that he joined the euromaidan, the video was already from the summer of 2014, when taras was engaged in the search for missing euromaidan activists. collected a base for them, please check, right? later entered lavzu. the spring of the 15th year, when taras, his brothers, can be seen met, who were already at that time in the carpathian sich, and they suggested to him, obviously, that he go there, well, he went to them, and taras gathered his... things, take off the masks and let's hug, hooray, and this

valentina's last meeting with taras was on march 29, 2020, the son came to visit before leaving for the front line, three and a half months later, on july 10, taras matviyev died in luhansk region, on july 13, the man was posthumously awarded the title of hero of ukraine. daryna kolomiets, oleksandr svata, andriy khrustalov. social news. well, a little further the issue will include an interview with the american director yevhen fanisievskyi, the author of the film winter on fire, ukraine's struggle for freedom, a film about the revolution of dignity. the film includes interviews with the participants of the events and recordings from the site of the protests, so stay tuned. the sbi reports on its official website that 82 criminal proceedings were opened and 40 sentences were handed down against 49 people involved in the shootings on the maidan. in addition to viktor yanukovych, high-ranking officials also received accusations, namely the then minister of internal affairs, vitaly

zakharchenko, and the head of the sbu, oleksandr yakymenko. european history. ukraine's integration began back in 1993, when the verkhovna rada signed an agreement on cooperation between ukraine and the eu, and in 2008, the ministers of foreign affairs of the european union in brussels preliminarily agreed on an association agreement, and it was signed three years later, but everything changed in 2013 , what path did ukraine overcome? see further. in march 2014, then prime minister arseniy yatsenyuk signed the political part. agreements on association of ukraine with the eu. in a few months, in june and the economic part, and in september, the agreement on the association was ratified. then it was signed by the verkhovna rada and the european parliament. president poroshenko also put his signature. for 355, the decision has been made, congratulations. in january 2016, the deepened and comprehensive

free trade zone between ukraine and the eu entered into force. this is part of the association agreement, which liberalizes trade between the parties, harmonizes the legislation and regulatory framework. at the same time , june 2017 was memorable for most of the country. then ukrainian citizens received the right to visa-free entry to countries of the schengen agreement for a period of 90 days. since 2019 , ukraine's accession to the european union has been enshrined in the country's constitution. it is impossible to change the country's foreign policy. after that, ukraine signed an agreement with the eu and its member states on common aviation space. then joined the powerhouse of continental europe, and in april 2022, the president of the european commission handed president zelandsky a questionnaire for ukraine to acquire the status of a candidate for eu membership. already in june of last year, ukraine officially received candidate status, together with tasks that had to be performed. on november 8 of this year, the european commission recommended

starting negotiations on ukraine's accession to the european union. about a new package of aid to ukraine in the amount of eur 300 million, announced the minister of defense of germany. boris pistorius arrived in kyiv today. he told journalists that this aid package is already the fifth, it includes four ares t air defense systems, 2,000 155-caliber shells, as well as anti-tank mines. as for the german taurus missiles, there is no decision yet. ukrainian colleague pistorius, rustem umyerov, said that today we visited the ppo control center, which is armed with one of germany's leading patriot air defense systems. effective use of this weapon. this allows our economy to work, including, it allows our industrial complex enterprises to work. we are discussing not only assistance, but also ready

for joint production and localization in ukraine. i think that the training of your soldiers in ukraine and germany is very coordinated and fruitful and very successful, this is the very reason that we will continue to move forward in this direction air defense is also of crucial importance. we understand that air defense plays a very important role in defense, so i am pleased to announce that we have achieved the delivery of another patriot system to ukraine. the day before, the head was also in kyiv. at the loydin pentagon in the ukrainian capital, he announced a new package of military support for ukraine worth 100 million dollars. now he is in poland. there he met with the american military, and austin thanked them for their service. we would like to live in a world where anti-aircraft weapons are not needed defense, but our work in support of ukraine and israel shows that air

defense continues to play an important role. we see this in the middle east again and again. over the last day, the israel defense forces struck two and a half hundred hamas targets. they report damage to militants and their infrastructure. meanwhile , tsakhalu's spokesman said: in one of the districts of gazia, the military discovered weapons and rockets in the mosque, where they were not only stored, but also manufactured. the soldiers entered the mosque, conducted a search and found a tunnel shaft. when they went down there, they found a workshop for the manufacture of rockets, that is, terrorists make rockets everything... covering terrorist acts with symbols of islam, and journalists from the public broadcaster of the netherlands showed one of the cemeteries in the central part of the gaza strip, there are no longer enough places for burials, because of the shelling, they have to say goodbye they try to deal with the dead as quickly as possible, without the usual rituals such as washing the body or prayers.

according to the caretaker of the cemetery, sometimes people have to be buried in mass graves, the largest of them has 137 bodies. following the polish ones, slovak transporters blocked the movement of ukrainian trucks, they do not allow trucks to pass through the vyshny vden checkpoint on the territory of slovakia in the direction of ukraine . about 300 trucks were near the border, cars and buses passed the border without delays. the action was initiated by the union of transporters of slovakia. the terms of the blocking were not announced. according to the spokeswoman of the transcarpathian customs victoria, sengetovska, from 8 p.m. the slovak side will accept one truck from of ukraine for an hour. four to issue. i entered the border in the first half of the first day , there were still no problems with slovakia, no control

, that is, no strike, as soon as i was leaving slovakia, the guys already sent it on the radio, blocked the road. let me remind you that polish carriers have blocked the ukrainian border since november 6, their protest action near polska. ukrainian transporters have started the border, they say, this is a response to the blockade of three checkpoints by the poles, the spokeswoman of the lviv border detachment oleksandra kuchkovska told the public that at the entrance 600 cargoes are waiting for ukraine at the ravarusk checkpoint, 1,200 in krakow, 1,300 in shegyny . more details on the situation at the border, iryna mochulska. 75 tractors, at 10:30 a.m., are set up by the participants of the action on the side of the road in front of the krakivets korchova checkpoint. they hang posters with their demands and ukrainian flags on them. they thought that

everything would come to the poles in such a way that it is impossible to do such reckless things in such a time of war. i don't know, it can't last long, i think that this problem must definitely be solved, with what the sooner, the better, i think, both for ukraine and for the poles. now from the polish side of the border. drivers of ukrainian trucks are standing: tell me how long you had to stand there, it was a week, they were standing on the road, that’s all, what are the conditions, there are no conditions, they were standing, the trouble is black, one of the participants of the action lubomir, the man says, came here , because i am a transporter and i drive a truck myself, and i just returned from a flight, at this checkpoint in the kriki. spent almost a week in line and returned on sunday. at that time there were more than 500 trucks because i was number 498 in that ghetto.

that's how i broke free and came to support the guys so that they were allowed to pass faster, because i was still lucky, i was on the list for six days , and the guys who were with me have already been standing for nine days. the rally was organized by the public organization international automobile carriers of ukraine. according to its leader , volodymyr mykhalevych, the action... was held to draw attention to the border crossing points between the two states blocked by polish carriers. we want to show the polish people carriers, you see our slogans that we are in favor of unblocking the border, we are in favor of joint work , we are in favor of feeding europe, because everyone understands that the world needs ukrainian grain, and that is what we are here for. our cars actually became warehouses on wheels, because they are loaded, they cannot leave there, and those that are there cannot enter here. as reported. mikhalevich, the action is a warning, if the borders continue to be blocked, larger-scale protests will be held, iryna mochulska, taras fomin, suspilne, news, lviv region. i will remind

polish carriers are demanding the restoration of the permit system for ukrainian drivers that was in place before the full-scale russian invasion. our andrii stasyuk looked into whether the demands of the carriers are justified and how the poles themselves used to spread to the markets of other countries. let's find out in more detail what exactly the poles demand. they have three main requirements. the first is the restoration of the former system of permits for the stay of cargo in poland and the european union for trucks from ukraine. the second is the exclusion of polish trucks from ukrainian ones the system has a queue that processes vehicles crossing the ukrainian border. and the third is a ban on registration in poland of transport companies that do not originate from the eu. they felt the markets of poland and neighboring countries. the influx of ukrainian drivers, and let's say, they were not ready for this, is it standard practice that in such a situation, drivers...

expose the border, in fact, i have not heard of such a situation, similar to ukraine, poland was immediately after joining the eu in in 2004, then, according to kose, polish drivers through their lower wages have been pushed out of the market by more expensive drivers from britain and germany. in fact, the numbers did not really confirm this, for example, the number of poles who moved and got a job in france, there were tens of... for a year together , it still amounted to somewhere around 1.2 million people, the important thing is that the transport all eu members, including poland, agreed to visa-free travel with ukraine. thus, deputy minister of infrastructure serhiy derkach stated that the requirement to return to issuing permits is unrealistic, it is valid until the end of june 2024 year, but where ukraine can make concessions is with the crossing of the ukrainian-polish border. after the implementation of the electronic

waiting queue. per crossing became much longer. yes, in ukraine drivers can sometimes stand in line for more than 10 days. polish protesters want a separate pass for themselves, not a general one. there is a way to improve it. instead of an estimated time for crossing the border, drivers should be given a serial number. however, according to the head of the international transport association of ukraine, the queue should remain common for everyone. they request us, please, our own electronic queue, europas, please. we would like all the preferences , that is, i don't understand then where we should be in that place, you will go to us, and we will stay instead of two weeks, we will stay for a month, one and a half or three. let's look at another less obvious aspect. polish carriers chose a favorable time for the strike. why? because now poland is in the period of forming the government, after the recent parliamentary elections. that is, the relatively slow reaction of the polish authorities is due to the fact that it is still in force

the government does not want to take responsibility. and solve the problems of his successors, explained the president of the kyiv school of economics , tymofiy mylovanov. at the same time, if they make concessions , it will be a little difficult politically to cancel these concessions, that's why for them this is the optimal moment for such, and for us this is the weakest moment, it hits us the most, but with regard to the ukrainian economy, such a blockade has a negative effect, experts explain. despite that. that until a significant increase in prices is observed, a protracted blockade may cause an increase in the price of goods. the biggest threat to our market is the import of fuel, and we already see an increase in automobile gas on our market , i think that other types of fuel will also become more expensive, that is, it is not such a direct threat to the market that we will not have fuel, it will , we will deliver it there by other means, it does not

improve. the situation of blocking the slovak border, which was started by the carriers there. the flow through this checkpoint is not as great as through the polish one, kose says, but these are additional delays. currently, polish carriers promise to continue the strike until beginning of january next year. at the same time, according to the polish edition of rmf, the european commission may initiate a punitive procedure against poland, i.e. impose fines for non-compliance with the transport visa, if the polish authorities do not solve the problem of blocking the checkpoint. however, discussions on unblocking the border are still ongoing. andrii stasiak and oleksandr sova, social news. an explosion was heard in temporarily occupied yevpator. a local resident reported this in the public. but we will tell you the details in the next issues. people's deputy tried to bribe a top official with bitcoins. this attempt was exposed by the national anti-corruption bureau and the specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office. according to public sources , law enforcement agencies are talking about backgammon. from

the servant of the people andriy odarchenko, and he offered a bribe equivalent to 50,000 dollars to the head of the state reconstruction agency mustafa nayem, for this he wanted to receive budget money for the repair of the facility under his control. as reported by nabu, this is the first cryptocurrency bribe in its history that has been documented. now the deputy is threatened with 10 years in prison. acquired sap exposed more. of two people who tried to bribe the minister of community development, territories and infrastructure oleksandr kubrakov, sap prosecutor yelena drobotova reported on suspilny. she did not name names, however, according to information from a public source, one of them is a deputy of the faction for the future, serhii labaziuk. we have not been able to contact him yet. these three proceedings are to some extent related to each other.
