clear tasks and with very strict monitoring, and it all merged into one, so it will not be possible to separate the americans separately, the european union separately, and it will not succeed on this formula, on this stubbornness of the president with five or six advisers, no it will be possible to get not only into the european union, but to move from its place, and therefore it will have to be changed, our government wants it, it does not want... our president likes yermak immensely, and yermak immensely likes the tatars, it is clear that we want to have support, a completely logical and justified demand from of the european union and from the west certain changes and reforms in governance, and therefore the west will not give more than the minimum necessary money for a country that does not know how to govern properly and does not want to. i am not saying that

it will not give money at all, because it is clear that now the west has calculated and has come to the logical conclusion that supporting ukraine is now better, cheaper and more effective from the point of view of the interests of the same europe than giving russia the opportunity to go to the border with the european union, and here we have common interests with the european union, but in at the same time, if you look very pragmatically at what is happening in ukraine. then it becomes clear that with such leadership, with such management, with such governance, with such, with the lack of distribution of branches of power and the dependence, in fact, of all branches of power, on a few people on bankova street, we will not get far, so the question here is that we can't, and that's understandable, zelenskyy said that we can't win this war without the west, and the west perfectly understands that...

aid can be ineffective if there are no fundamental changes in ukraine, so these changes cannot be avoided. if we talk about a set of changes that should be, right? well, let's now detail what we would specifically expect, for example, in the united states, the european union, yes, because, well, for most of our fellow citizens with you, it all remains a mystery, and certain things are evaluated purely through the prism of emotionality, that is, that said that, the reaction was like this, well, but people, well, sociologists... demonstrates that people are not entirely satisfied with the processes taking place inside the country, and we understand that the war - this is a key story, but there is also the economy, there is also energy, and it went away, well, people began to understand that power cannot be concentrated in the hands of the president , only that the number of ukrainians who believe this has fallen many times, more and more ukrainians believe , that the parliament should have much more powers. that the government must be

effective, that is, ukrainians are beginning to understand that the problem is the structure of power that exists, when in fact all powers are concentrated in the office of the president, and the office of the president is just like this policeman the conductor is on the street, pointing with a stick who is to blame for this or that failure, be it the parliament, be it the government, be it the west , well, anyone, but not the government itself. ukrainians are beginning to understand this, and on the other hand , yes, if what to do with that, if we cannot hold elections now, and what should be, er, the future fate of this ukrainian structure of power, this also worries ukrainians, because here one of the analysts wrote that putin may be in power there for another 10 or more years, and while he is in the government, this war is beneficial to him, because this war allows him to write off everything, blame

everything on the world, which is against russia, on economic difficulties, on failures in domestic politics, war always gathers people around its leader, and therefore, it is beneficial to putin, and he will be interested in the war continuing, and we want to end it, we want to end it with victory, so we cannot afford to simply drag this process out indefinitely, and under the current circumstances, we do not have, we can't... get hold of something to give us confidence that we can end this war there next year. it is expected that we can be ready for another offensive, counteroffensive, we are waiting for aviation, for what will come for mobilization, after all, the ukrainian army will receive enough manpower for training and rotation, we are all, all, all, all this we expect, but not too disproportionate sizes. our

neighbor from chechavile, and from the point of view of economic reserves there, they have these, as they said, they have these bombs, which they make wings and throw. there will be enough for two or three wars, they have them there, they have been there since the second world war, even before that time they kept these bombs, they just recycle the wings, maybe half of them are defective, but they still kill ukrainians, so the russian state, it is ready on a raid over a longer distance, and we can oppose here only something modern, effective, we can do this only in a very honest alliance with the west, and with america and with... the european union, but what we have is happening lately, it does not contribute to us there they understood better and supported more. well, i don't know what the models are, what to do in the current situation, we understand that we have a legitimate government, that is, the president who was elected by the ukrainian people without falsifications,

we are talking about zelenskyi. the russians want to undermine its legitimacy, that's understandable, we have a completely legitimate parliament, functional with a majority, but the number of deputies has decreased. we have a cabinet that was appointed by the legitimate parliament, but in fact we have a mix of three branches of government, we understand that there with our by the supreme constitutional courts, not everything is as stable as we would like, and accordingly something needs to be improved, we all like that ukrainians, everyone likes simple solutions, mr. oleg, let's now propose simple solutions, well , actually, we don't have an office of simple solutions it worked, but... but the problem with us is precisely the structure of power that we have, when there are several people from the office of the president, whom we did not elect, whom no state security bureau or anti-corruption bureau will dare to approach, these people actually

they are building schemes, and ukrainian journalists are already crying about it, they are crying about the fact that the officials on the ground, here i am now listening to the situation in kharkiv for... i will buy trees for defense structures, they chose a kind of pilot project, but this situation is repeated everywhere, and for the fact that the law enforcement agencies depend on the same office of the president, because tatarov stands over them, and every security officer knows who tatarov is, it is practically impossible to break out of this circle, and if we want changes, then we need to remove tatarov, and the president about it have been told a million times, it is necessary to do... so that the office does not influence, i think, the president is also he, the president will understand this, he will not be able to maneuver much there, because the european embassies, diplomats, they see it perfectly, they know about the ukrainian press is writing about it, the european press is writing about it, journalists are calling about it, investigations are going on,

well, it is becoming clear that it is impossible to keep silent about it, it is impossible to explain why changes are not taking place, and this pressure is increasing, so i think that the simplest conclusion for in... or the easiest way out of this situation is to remove this limitless influence of the president's office on the executive power and on the security forces and make the courts more, i'm not saying completely independent, at least more independent so that for them the call from bankova street does not interrupt all ukrainian legislation , because if there are no signs that there are changes here, and this will be talked about and talked about, probably also... western companies that are trying to enter the ukrainian market, because no matter what we take, or the production of drones , or joint production in the defense sector, or investors, which we really need in order to restore the energy system, it all rests on the guarantee of property rights, and what

guarantees can there be, if we do not have independent courts, there is nowhere for the investor to turn in case of conflict situations, so zelensky sooner or later will have to... understand this, hear it, and i am sure that even the all-powerful fair will not be able to block all communication channels, because the president communicates, including with the heads of western states, with representatives of the diplomatic corps, so here it is simply there is no other way out, if it is not changed, then we can call simple solutions, super simple solutions, we can look for some people, but the situation will not change, because fundamentally it has a facility... this slow-acting mine that guarantees impunity for corrupt officials , if these officials are loyal and are guided by what they are told on the mountain, and when we have a judicial system that looks into the mouth of the same tatar, and and and waits

for instructions on how to act in this or that case, simply with such schedules the situation is deadlocked, and there can be no way out of it a simple solution, the simplest... solution, but to do what we have been advised for years, to make the government much more independent from the banking street, to strengthen the parliament, giving the parliament the opportunity to influence... ministers, to listen to the reports of ministers, but at the same time it's time to try to explain to potential candidates for ministerial positions that they will be able to implement what they set out to do, and not simply wait with fear for a call from the phone on their desk, where there used to be the coat of arms of the soviet union, now there is the coat of arms of ukraine, well, but maybe those will happen or other simple men's meetings between the president of ukraine and the president of the united states, yes, and... he will say: we have such an idea to somehow resuscitate, refresh the government and so

on, and zelensky will say: very good, here is such an idea, well, here we are, what to build a government of national unity, well , to invite representatives of the homeland of european solidarity, or what to do in such a situation, a government of technocrats, i don't know how to pull out from some secret drawer our, i don't know there, graduate of advanced training courses named after george soros, so who will pass you remember, we had such a revolutionary prime minister on a scooter, well, at least, as a first step, maybe even some members of the current government, i just don't know all of them, could have been much more effective if they really are, if their fate really did not depend on the calls on these turntables, if they understood that they have to make decisions, maybe not popular, but they will feel empowered. implement this decision and bear not only the responsibility, but have support. for this, it is needed, right now

there is no dialogue with the parliament at all, all these ties have broken. and even if at the same time with the parliament, i have no illusions about the quality of this parliament, but you can still find a part of deputies there who would also understand that they are responsible for something, they should now allow journalists to work in the parliament, there may be some there in part... resuscitation of this legislative body, which is very important, that is, it should be tried even in these conditions at the expense of only what people can feel, and zelensky should do it, there is no one else to do this, because again , the meeting of zelenskyi with his own faction, where he does not let anyone open his mouth, but only reads morals, just angry deputies come out of it, and it all takes away motivation, well, just in general , all the units of the government machine they are all just stuck, they... don't work, they need to be started, because we can't now elect a new president, elect a new verkhovna rada,

form a new government, which means that in these conditions we need to try as much as possible to resuscitate some relationships , interaction between these authorities, because then everything will be better than it is now, because now everything has practically stopped, no one makes any decisions, and there a couple of advisers form the president's opinion about the real situation. things, and the president has emotional breakdowns and explains to the leaders of the western world how they should do their work, and at the same time the president forgets that this includes his obligation to improve the work of the government machine in ukraine, not to lead, not to put in charge the government machine of its three or four five councilors, and to make it real at least formally similar to how the government and parliament interact in european countries, and about this... i 'm sure there will be a conversation during the start of negotiations on the acquisition of membership, god forbid that these negotiations begin, because we have

millions of questions there there is, but it is only possible to move in this direction now. thank you very much, mr. oleg, for this meaningful and extremely interesting conversation , i would like to remind our viewers that oleg khrybachuk, ex-vice prime minister for european integration, former chief of president viktor yushchenko's secretariat, spokesman for the chesno movement. thank you once again and kudos to ukraine. thanks to the heroes of fame. and we will win everything. well, the time of our program is over, stay with the espresso tv channel. my colleagues will inform you about all the most important events of this day. see espresso, take care of yourself and your loved ones. see you on air. see this week in the judicial control program. illicit enrichment or connections with russians, wanted. detectives in lyudmila kropyvna's house, what they were looking for during the search was not there, and according to what scheme

the servant of themis received an apartment for her parents in kyiv. father and mother lived like this in ternopil. greetings, this is court control and i am tatiana shustrova. during all the years of independence, the judicial system of ukraine has repeatedly undergone changes. this year, despite the full-scale war, judicial reform gained considerable momentum. but while the corps of judges is being updated, representatives. his old guard are still involved in corruption scandals and undermine the authority of justice. today we will tell you about another unscrupulous servant of themis. national anti-corruption the bureau of ukraine has opened criminal proceedings regarding the alleged illegal enrichment of the maid of honor themis. this is lyudmila kropyvna, a judge of the northern commercial court of appeal. on april 26 , nabu conducted investigative actions in her elite house near kyiv, as a result of which kropyvna complained to the supreme council of justice and the prosecutor general's office.

the judge assures that the detectives carried out an inspection and seized her mobile phone and... a cuff, for which they allegedly did not have a warrant, because the higher anti-corruption court within criminal proceedings agreed only to inspect the house, to learn more about this case, we turned to nabu with an information request. from the response of the national anti-corruption bureau of ukraine: premature and uncontrolled disclosure of pre-trial investigation information can not only affect its course, hinder the completeness and objectivity of establishing the circumstances of a criminal offense, but also harm the interests of: the victim, the suspect and other participants in the criminal proceedings. taking into account the above, granting the requested information is currently not possible. so the journalists of judicial control decided to independently find out what judge kropyvna is suspected of and how she could have violated the anti-corruption legislation. we are in the suburbs of kyiv, an elite goat,

a cottage town closed from prying eyes, luxury, privacy and security. here there is everything for a comfortable life, the area, a protected area, luxury restaurants, shops, sports complexes, private educational institutions and famous neighbors, there we have poroshenko, who did not leave, lives here, that is, this is his peninsula, on the to the side a little further, klitschko, here, if you go a little further, there is a member of nasila tymoshenko, yes, that is, we have a large estate here in the semi-supreme council here and until, at the end of 2021. lyudmila kropyvna also bought it here. behind this endless fence drowning in greenery, 20 acres of precious land and a building of 260 square meters. everything is under close supervision. at the entrance to the town there is a checkpoint with cameras everywhere. in addition, the police and the state security department travel the streets. it's just not possible to get here. but we succeeded. it

housing sales specialist vadim. and right now he is selling the house of lyudmila kropyvna's neighbors. they live literally across the fence. the realtor not only praises the place, but also explains: it will not be possible to live here cheaply. the price of the question is now at the height of the war, when real estate in ukraine has fallen in price from uah 20 million. this is the best location. i have been in real estate for 12 years and i understand that the most expensive houses have always been here. on the neighboring plot of ownership of the nettle house. in addition to the residential building, there is a gazebo, an outbuilding, a swimming pool and other elite things. private nearby lake and pond. various real estate sites listed the estate for $1 million at the end of 2021, which is when nettle bought it. however, in his declaration, the judge assures that she bought housing and land for a little more than uah 8 million, almost four times cheaper. note that by law, state officials, including judges, are not entitled to receive individual

discounts, except for those granted to everyone. so, if a judge buys something at below market prices, it can be... as an improper reward, or in plain language, a bribe. data from kropyvna's declarations may also indicate an attempt to hide the real value of the house, so as not to explain the dubious origin of the funds for its purchase. because where did a virtuous judge get a million dollars. the realtor confirms that when paying in cash , any amount can be entered in the contract. if, for example, a lower price is slightly indicated in the contracts. it depends on your calculation. if the payment is in cash. most likely it will be so, of course it is. the acquisition of this estate strangely coincides in time with the period when judge kropyvna began to consider the case regarding the alienation of shares of the poltava mining and beneficiation plant from the international company ferexpo. already in september 2022, the board of judges of pags , chaired by kropivna, by its decision, which

was later recognized as illegal, gave more than 40% of gzk shares to four offshore companies. these firms... were part of the russian group vs energy and, according to the media, are connected to the oligarch igor kolomoisky, as well as his russian associates, the current deputy chairman of the russian state duma oleksandr babakov and the president of the central sports club of the russian army, yevhen ginner. the ukrainian state bureau of investigation directly called them the leaders of the luzhniki organized crime group. so, at the height of russia's full-scale war against ukraine, almost half of poltava gzk's shares are worth voda. at the stage of the appeal, kropivna gives it to the russian raiders, is it just like that, honestly and thanks, these are very important courts, the appeal is the level after which the decision becomes legally binding. and is implemented, that is, it is very, let's say, risks corruption is increased here. it can be assumed that corruption may take place here, because

out of nowhere a judge suddenly became the owner of an elite estate, and the russians, coincidentally, seized control of one of the most powerful ukrainian enterprises, since the purchase of a house in kozen can be explained by the official income of kropivna, rather after all , she could not declare the alleged bribe in her declaration about... codes, she had to indicate that she borrowed part of the funds. according to the information of the non-governmental organization office of the cleaning of the judicial system, money for the purchase real estate was given to the judge by a certain viktor b. everything points to the fact that it could be viktor barsuk. according to the media, he is one of the lawyers who worked in the office of igor kolomoiskyi. viktor barsuk's wife, maryna barsuk, is also a judge of the northern commercial court of appeal and, according to our sources, a friend of ludmila kropyvna. together with... they often consider cases in the same panel of judges, in particular, those related to kolomoiskyi's business. marina barsuk also attends private events with the participation of kolomoisky and not

sees no conflict of interest. in the fall of 2021, ukrainian pravda journalists recorded a ukrainian oligarch and the badgers family celebrating the birthday of the sanctioned russian businessman pavel fuchs. meanwhile, according to kropyvna's declaration for 2021, part of the money for the purchase of the house, namely uah 5,800,000 , was lent to her by a completely different person, a certain natalia georgievna gavrilyuk. we learned that nataliya havryliuk is the ex-wife of putin's traitor and godfather, viktor medvedchuk, and the mother of his eldest daughter, iryna. natalia's son-in-law gavrilyuk andriy ryumin, ceo of one of russia's largest energy companies. the holding's power grids ensure the transmission of 80% of the electricity produced by the aggressor state. the controlling shareholder of the holding is the russian

federation. ryumin himself regularly meets with putin, while the rossettis, according to zmi , have long-term partnerships with companies related to the people who control vs energy. it should be noted that medvedchuk's ex-wife oksana marchenko also had shares in ukrainian regional energy companies, logistics and metallurgical enterprises, the co-owners of which were, in particular, privat group and russians from vs energy, criminal authority mykhailo voevodin and his partners, state duma vice-speaker oleksandr babakov and owner of the cska football club yevgeny giner, who, thanks to the decision of judge kropyvna, tried to take over the shares of poltava gzk. all the russians we mentioned... support armed aggression against ukraine, are under sanctions and wanted, and they are somehow connected to putin's best man. so it was probably on their behalf

that medvedchuk's ex-wife transferred the money for judge kropyvnya's house. we called ms. havryliuk to find out more about the so-called loan and the course of criminal proceedings involving lyudmila kropyvna. hello, i congratulate you, this is natalia georgievna. i am a journalist of a tv channel, we have i have a few questions for you about lyudmila kropyvna, in particular about the story with the loan of uah 5 million. and what do you need, why should i answer your questions, and i owed her money, and what else? because she is mine girlfriend. are you passing as a witness in the case of kropyvna and her house in kozen? not that there are any witnesses. it is interesting that according to the documents that are at the disposal of the office of cleaning the judicial system, kropivna paid the funds to the seller of the house in advance, even before the contract. sales contract, instead, for some reason, they decided to sign the contract in the premises of a private bank on kovpaka street in kyiv. community activists speculate that this was done in order

not to drive around town with a million dollars in cash. be that as it may, doubts about yes the so-called loan, as well as the legitimacy of the origin of the judge's wealth for the purchase of elite real estate near kyiv, appear to be fully justified. especially since 10 years ago kropivna allegedly had no place to live at all and needed an office apartment in kyiv. kropivna moved to the kyiv commercial appeal court, which was later reformed into the northern commercial court, from ternopil, where she worked with a judge in the regional commercial court. in this building on dniprovska embankment in kyiv , she received a 129 m2 apartment from the state. which he later successfully privatized. according to the standard scheme of expropriation of state housing into private ownership, then this housing is privatized, which is a scheme that is actually a robbery of taxpayers and other

citizens of ukraine. for the provision of public housing to civil servants, the law stipulates strict standards of 21 m2 per person and 10 additional m2 per family, i.e., together with her adult son , kropivna could apply for an apartment with a maximum area of ​​52 m2, but instead she received 2.5 times more. in order to increase the area of ​​​​the housing, which was to be paid for by the account taxpayers' funds, the judge had to organize a scheme to involve retired parents, who actually... lived in ternopil and had real estate there, so in one moment in december 2014 , lyudmila kropyvna and her father volodymyr became the owners of a 129-square-meter state apartment , mother tatyana and son artur, each received 25%. they say, look, we have a family of 10 people, we really need to improve living conditions, they are counted accordingly and multiplied by the number of family members, and it often turns out that this there is not exactly 21 m2, well... even

much more, and they get housing , respectively, from the state, which is then privatized. however, in the story with lyudmila kropyvna, the math does not add up, because even after registering all the family members who did not actually live there and did not need housing, the judge could receive no more than 110 m2 from the state for free, she received 129. we are going to ternopil to see, where kropyvna's parents lived before moving to a new apartment in the capital, and as it turned out, the square meters that the judge received for them were not for them reached according to the neighbors, the pensioners did not move anywhere, only the father after the death of the mother and several years after the nettle registered real estate for them in the capital. please, the question is, when did she move to kyiv, that daughter, she is a longer period of time, did her parents live here in ternopil or did they live in kyiv as well, did she take them to her home in kyiv, even before her death,

even before their death? she didn't take it away, they lived. themselves, they lived here alone, purely in ternopil, yes, father and mother lived in ternopil. the fact that the judge's father actually lived in ternopil, indicate data from the register of court decisions. in 2019-20, the communal enterprise ternopil-vodokanal sued him regarding debt collection for housing and communal services. when her parents died, lyudmila kropyvna inherited two apartments in the center of ternopil. four- room apartment of 83 square meters. and one-room apartment for 38, which, according to the neighbors, he rents out, here is the first: we do not know her, i have practically never seen her, my mother is deceased, i knew her, but do you know the owners of the apartment? no, i don't know, the owner is in kyiv, she lives in kyiv, and she occupied this apartment. the incident that our film crew got into with the tenant of judge kropyvna's second apartment became known throughout the country, the tenant attacked our journalist and stole her mobile

phone. yes, they, this is an apartment here, but they are in the neighboring one, they are in the neighboring house , don’t they live here, no, they don’t live here, we are just theirs, i’m coming from here, and you are a tenant, yes, and you are a tenant, i.e. you are not born, please take it away, my camera is not a phone, please take it away, the lodger has closed with phone of our journalist and left only when our film crew decided to call the police, after which the tenant began to threaten ... colleagues with physical violence. i apologize, give me the phone, i came in, no, let's go. you come to us, you come to us, delete. get out of there, because i'm going to dig you up now. such a violent reaction of the lodger of kropyvna can be explained, because it is possible that the judge rents the apartment without an official contract, does not pay taxes and does not indicate this source of income in his declaration.

if this is so, then it turns out that she is a maid themis breaks the law herself. if a judge rents out housing, then if he receives income, and any citizen, this income must be declared. especially if it is a public servant, there is a declaration that provides for receiving even a very small income, some discounts, some preferences, some winnings, they should still be reflected there in the electronic declaration. the ternopil police instituted criminal proceedings for obstruction. activities and theft of the phone, then closed it and violated the court order again: the culprit, who rents the apartment of an influential metropolitan judge, has not yet been brought to justice.
