[000:00:00;00] for the movement of troops, by railways, and there are these missile roads, that is, the railway allows them to quickly transfer troops along the front line, they are somewhere, when there are some tensions, that is, they added forces there, you must understand that this is not a style, they pulled up what strategic reserves, and they move along the front line, and they do it quite quickly, so of course they do, we have such railways, there really is no such possibility on the side where we hold the defense, we also move, we maneuver... not here you can to say that we are doing it worse, but the russians are improving it and in this way are really trying to stretch our defense, they are not adding additional forces, they have about 455 thousand military personnel as they were there, they remain like that, well, they are decreasing there by the thousands every day, and that’s it , and here are these movements along the front line, firstly, they exhaust our capabilities, and secondly, they, they are looking for a city where, from

their point of view... we have the biggest, weakest position, where you can, well, concentrate a large amount, and try to break through the line, this does not apply to marenka, they did not find that no one was offended, who is holding the defense there, they did not find a weak point there and therefore began to take offensive actions there, just let's think that somewhere in the south they did not have such opportunities , there are no such logistics there to deliver so quickly, the short shoulder is behind the eastern front, it is already... there is a short logistical shoulder, they tried to do it, the kupin direction, the liman direction, then we move to the south, it is already bahamud, but bakhmut is not interested in politics, there was already a bahmud, the russians will start asking that there are two bahmuds, what about bahmud again, we move further, we reach davdiivka, while we pass, beyond marenka they did not succeed there, further ugledar also did not succeed

where, and avdiivka came out by the exclusion method by and large, they... tried everywhere and nothing could be done anywhere, so we decided, well , let's focus on avdiivka, it's not because there's something there, it's a good thing, on the contrary, we knew about this offensive, we knew that he will, we knew they would attack on the flanks, there is a lot of things there, a lot of preparatory work was done, it was not a surprise for us, but they chose this way, not because it is a weak city, because what else do they have, now, now we will also talk about bahmud, but already next we have blocks, thank you very much, oleksiy hetman, a military analyst, a veteran of the russian-ukrainian war, was on radio liberty, we mostly talked about the situation in the avdiiv region, thank you, and there are really fierce battles going on near bakhmut, this is what the correspondent reports radio svoboda maryan kushnir, who just returned from there, spent a day on the positions with the mortar unit of the 42nd separate

mechanized brigade of the armed forces of ukraine. see the current situation on the front in an exclusive report by radio liberty. now we drove to the mortar unit in the darkness, and because movement is possible only in the darkness, since everywhere the drones drove in at the moment when the troops were changing. our task is to serve the front line of our infantry, to make the life of the infantry different difficult, that is, he will make it so that there will be no opportunity to go there, give a ride, someone will be changed, he will not drive a bull there and all the other joys of military life, the separation in the middle

goes along the railway road, that is, we... alone side and behind the railway on the other side, our positions are somewhere further south there in the direction of andriivka, we have advanced about a kilometer there , our positions are all normal, we are giving a report on readiness, oh, don't hurry. everything is obtained, everything, rushed, ears, following, shot, shot, shelling and all night, communication with the wounded, how they will

help, what their condition is, they almost say. losses, in principle, losses are small for 200, but for 300, they are two or three every day, and you can calculate them yourself in a month. and here the infantry is 2-3 km away, this is all done on foot, in principle , for those who may not have been here, the work is simply titanic, everyone, everyone who goes out there is simply a hero, well, in my eyes, because i personally do not go there, we have our own tasks, the ukrainian army is now firing at the positions of the russian military, there they are gathered near the city of bahmud, inflicts fire damage from a 120-mm mortar. in principle, it is quite active here,

practically everything is firing, artillery, and shots are heard here regularly. the orcs like to hide on that broken wall, because they have nowhere to hide, so there is order now. the court began to choose a preventive measure for serhiy labazyuk, people's deputy of the group for the future, who was informed of the suspicion on november 21 at bu i sap. according to the investigation, nardepi, his accomplice, who by the way has already been remanded in custody today, he

went to sizo. so, they tried to bribe the deputy prime minister for reconstruction of ukraine, the minister of community development, infrastructure territories, oleksandr kubrakov, and also the head of the state agency for reconstruction and development of infrastructure, mustafa nayem. as claimed in nabu, in august 23, the deputy turned to top officials of the ministry with a request to grant his company contracts for the reconstruction of infrastructural facilities worth uah 1 billion. for this , he promised, so to speak, a reward in the amount of 3-5% of the value of each contract. investigators claim that after receiving uah 50 million for a contract to restore a destroyed bridge in one of the regions of ukraine. the people's deputy , through a trusted person, made promises to the top official of the state agency for restoration. interest on $150,000. the transfer of money took place in the parking lot of one of the capital's supermarkets, but the money was in this red chinese casket, nabu reported. well, during the selection of a preventive measure, all accusations against labazyuk

were rejected by his lawyers today. we can just listen to a fragment of this meeting. to things, we have been involved in this crime since february 2023 , when we started following pobrakov about clandestine actions against the kubraks, and from july 23rd they began to conduct them for hire, and all that they established was that these were the two most honest people in the world, all that they found was serhiy petrovych, who in the whole year was the only one who committed a crime, perhaps , let's see, and let me remind you that at the same time as labazyuk, another people's deputy, andriy odarchenko, received suspicion from the servant of the people, two days ago he was sent away for a total of two months, according to odarchenko's investigation offered the head of the state agency for reconstruction and development of infrastructure, mustafa nayim, a bribe in bitcoin equivalent to $50,000.

in exchange, the people's deputy asked to stop receiving funds from the fund for the liquidation of the consequences of russia's armed aggression for the repair of the state biotechnological university, whose rector was elected to the post of deputy odarchenko, well, in fact he remains the rector, but the effect of his... act was suspended while he was deputy, but returning to these two stories, we will now comment on them, so to speak, volodymyr fasenko, a political scientist, joined our broadcast, good evening, good evening , i congratulate you, and i just, just live, we followed this trial, the choice of preventive measure for labazyuk, so he said that with mustafa, that mustafa naim, he is not very experienced for this position as a judge, why mustafa even consulted with him, as with an experienced colleague, that's how they had high relations, the bribe denies, listen, volodymyr, well, look, some say that it is actually a very positive a sign that

appears in one day to two deputies, yet one deputy from the ruling political force, that they were brought to justice, and that this is a sign that the country is fighting corruption, but i also hear criticism, saying, well, this is some very petty corruption, it is not top corruption, but here's that one, well, you're already laughing, yes, but really, it's not top corruption, well, who knew about it. darchenko and labazyuk, well, of course, you and i knew that there were people who follow politics, but they were not really some very influential deputies, deputies very close to authorities, or to someone else, am i wrong, look, well, when i hear that this is not top corruption, we need something so global, i don’t know billions of dollars, probably, yes, well, let’s just imagine, and what it can be to be, that's what, then what can be considered global corruption? actually this

case, i think that's why it's important, in my opinion, because these are typical things, typical things, there are violations of, well , corrupt, let's say, schemes related to public procurement, well, in that business there, i was surprised by the way, it was going on there 3.5% is what is called a kickback, i remember in yanukovych's time they said that the cost of kickbacks, well, the share is more correct kickback, it has increased, well , several times, if it used to be 10-15%, then it even reached 30-40 %, and this is on construction, on construction subcontracts, in this case the same, construction contracts, yes , corruption has become more modest, 5% is even less modest, some kind of not very big kickback, although the amount there is a billion hryvnias, in principle it is typical, i think, is the situation with kickbacks,

when officials are subcontracted for maintenance they try to give a bribe in the form of specific percentages, often thickly, well, i read, i don’t know, it seems to me in this case that they allegedly promised apartments, uh, i will remind you too, one deal with a large construction company, there too, yes, and there , yes, the national guard and so on, apartments were just figured there, apartments were calculated. you will again, you will accuse me again that it is i who mention tatarov, and it is you who mention tatarov, because it is his matter, yes, but the same matter, well, it is mikitas there , yes, if i am not mistaken, yes, yes, then , i why just mentioned, because a lot has been written about this case, and these are typical situations, so i think it's normal, i'm just a fan of the fact that in this case i see a trend, the activation of nabu's work, we have a certain pause, i don't know

, there, maybe, well, last year was the first year of the war, yes, maybe it helped, then there was a change of leadership, the previous head of nabu left, they couldn’t hold a competition for a long time, now the new leadership of nabu, the head of sab appeared at the end of last year, and in principle they demonstrate intensification of their work, i i think that this is not accidental , the fact that the anti-corruption policy is currently one of the criteria in the process of european integration of ukraine, in particular, it is evaluated in the context of the decision to start negotiations with ukraine on joining the european union, and also in precisely within the framework of these requirements, the recommendations of the european union, the adopted decision on increasing the staff of nabu, therefore nabu must demonstrate results, and in principle, here is the fact that there are two cases on people's deputies, well, which people's deputies appear, plus, well, we do not

know the status, well in the case where kubrakov and nayem, i don’t know, i don’t understand if they are witnesses or they are whistleblowers, as far as i understand, but yes, but in one case there was a report, well , where this rector was a servant of the people, that there himself mustafa nayem reported that he cooperated and so on, in this case i did not quite understand what the situation was, what the status of kubrakov was. well, we need to get more information, but there are two people's deputies, plus the heads of the executive power , so it's exactly the competence of nabu, so i think it's normal, it's better than when i remember the last convocation there, or already outside, not until the 19th year, when they opened a case, deprived them of their deputies and everything, and then nothing, no investigative actions, when i remember, dobkin was deprived of...' his immunity and was also accused of fraud, he was not even

detained, well, i can remind you, yes i can remind you, how oleg tatarov was generally protected from the nabu, the case was transferred to the sbu, there it was buried, well, actually, about this kind of top corruption, anti-corruption experts are now saying what they want, what tatarov's head wants, yes, because there was a case, the case was buried, why not? no, look, i'm here in this case, in tatarov, you need to... ask specialists in tatarov, why there, what nuances worked, just for such cases, when they say that it is not serious, it is not global, i will tell you, any case. on corruption is very difficult, because proving the very fact of corruption is very, very difficult, it is a certain art, and it is an operation that must be carefully planned, because it is necessary to catch a bribe so that it is proven, documented, recorded, if this does not

happen, or there the fact of the bribe can be questioned, the whole case will fall apart, and that's why in fact, such... even if it doesn't matter what the amount is, there is 1,000 dollars , there is a million dollars, yes, all this must be documented, recorded, when it is just testimony, i remember, according to tatarov, this testimony, this accusation of maketas, this it was necessary to add something, something additional, so that there would be strong evidence, and in this case, i understand, after all, nabu was watched and nabu, well, let's say, caught, well here... this one, with money, was shown, i understand that they were caught in the act of transferring money, so i hope that everything will be fine, although we there were also cases against people's deputies, when there were secret agents, a large pile

of money, as it turned out later, the money was not quite, well, let's say, real and then it was distributed somewhere, but i really hope that now everything, this case, she will not remain only for the mass media, but the investigation will also move forward, there will be accusations, and then the court, that's what i hope for, because before, by the way, the selection of a preventive measure, for labazyuk, which was started today, this started today court, it has been postponed until monday, we have a little more than a minute left, allow me the last clarification, this is already a political issue, since kubrakov is called one of the possible contenders for the position of prime minister sometime in the future. didn't he strengthen his position after his department handed over two potential corruption suspects? i don't know, many sources say that on the contrary, kubrakov's rates , well, even before this case, that they went

down a little, because, well, they gave less money there, just to mustafa nayem's department, they gave less money, they were redirected to another department . so that is a little behind now, c in the race for the post of prime minister, the future prime minister, they say that kubrakov is now lagging behind the other contenders, i understand you, thank you very much, volodymyr fasenko, a political scientist, was on radio svoboda. that's all for today, i urge you to subscribe to radio svoboda's pages on the internet, like this broadcast, and svoboda live will be back on the air on monday. will the corporation survive if the family falls apart, turn on one of the best hbo series, the heirs, watch all seasons of the struggle for power in ukrainian in

with her father, and when the russians entered, she found herself in the occupied territory. from time to time, the woman says, she corresponded with her daughter on social networks, but in april, the connection with karinea mysteriously ended. the girl stopped logging into her accounts and no one knows where she is now. and i have already written everywhere. even here in this territory to search for a child, because i don’t know where to shout anymore, how to find a child, i can’t, i am an adequate mother, a child for me, this was my life, the girl’s mother is now too is in the occupied territory, but continues to do everything in her power to find her daughter, i want to appeal to everyone who has seen or knows something about my child, who has been missing and stopped going out since april 2023, this is karina igorevna konevets, the date

reputation. oleksandr pokopenka. he has a negative view of public integrity council. congratulations, judicial control is on the air. the judicial system of ukraine needs thorough reboot. this is one of the requirements of our accession to the european union. soon, ukraine will begin selection for one of the country's most important judges - the constitutional court. the selection conditions are strict, and even in spite of this, unscrupulous servants of themis try to get into the body that interprets the main state. and resolves the issue of compliance with the constitution of ukrainian legislation. why do judges with dubious reputations run for office? we will talk about this today, but first to the news. last week, the higher qualification commission of judges began the qualification evaluation of the current themis servants for their respective positions. and it has already made the first

decisions about the impossibility of judges to administer justice. the judge did not pass the assessment. olena galatin of the donetsk district administrative court. in 2019, the previous composition of the vkks recognized her as suitable for the position, despite a negative conclusion from the public integrity council. for four years, the judge managed not to declare her home, and also forgot to declare the one she purchased a car, and the most interesting thing: in 2016 , a ukrainian judge repeatedly went to russian-occupied donetsk, supposedly to pick up things. moreover, she made court decisions from there. i was at work in the first half of the day, and then i left. however , the public council of virtue and the higher qualification committee found inconsistency with these words. therefore, judge galatina did not confirm the ability to administer justice. for her release, this conclusion must be confirmed by the supreme council of justice. another judge convicted of bribery was mobilized to the ranks of the armed forces

of ukraine. so now the hearing of his case has been stopped. he went to the army. the former head of the baryshiv district court of the kyiv region oleksandr lysyuk, who at the end of march was sentenced by the highest anti-corruption court of ukraine to three years of imprisonment with confiscation of all property and the deprivation of the right to hold positions in state authorities. according to the case file, the judge received $2,500 in 2017. the first part of the bribe for making a decision in civil cases in the interests of third parties. in general , the judge demanded uah 5,000 for a positive decision. oleksandr lysyuk filed an appeal against the verdict, and now he decided to go to the armed forces. so the case is stopped. it should be noted that among judges convicted and detained for corruption, the practice of mobilization to the army has recently gained considerable momentum. this is how the servants of themis, who master the law and understand the legal process, use all the loopholes in the law. they are mobilizing to the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine and

stopping court proceedings against themselves. avoided punishment. selection for one of the most important will begin in ukraine soon judicial bodies of the constitutional court. previously , judges of the constitutional court of ukraine were appointed by the president, the parliament and the congress of judges. according to the constitution, selection takes place on a competitive basis. however, in reality , the procedure did not involve a real competition, since each subject of appointment separately held its own formal competitions, which did not ensure the verification of candidates. on compliance with the requirements of the constitution, so the risk of political influence on the court was insane. at the end of last year, the verkhovna rada passed a law on changing the selection process judges of the constitutional court of ukraine. the law creates an advisory group of experts, its composition will include six members: one each from the verkhovna rada, 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 sovereignty. the right advisory
