thank you, kateryna shiropoyas, thank you to the editors of the news that the president of ukraine, after the failure of the offensive on... russia changed the main aim at pokrovsk. there, the enemy concentrated the largest number of weapons and occupiers. the president of ukraine said this in an interview with french journalists. there, pokrovsk is now a priority for the enemy, i quote the president, kostyantynivka is already there and they are aiming at the turks, there are plans for sloviansk, but these are all plans, the largest number of personnel and the largest number of weapons, cabs, everything in them yes, they focus on the pokrovsky direction. pokrovsky direction is the most difficult for months. well, we will now let's talk about our difficult situation, which is developing around the fortification. in particular, we are talking about fortifications in the kharkiv region, martyna bohuslavets, head of the anti-corruption center, the border is already in

direct contact with us, mrs. martyna, congratulations, we are glad to see you, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, good day, well, there is already a criminal proceeding, as far as we know, based on the fact that you, as a public activist, and yours and your colleagues discovered, i would like to ask you how all this developed. actions from the time you discovered certain abuses until the time that opened a criminal case, because as they highlighted in their social networks, in particular, this story lasted long enough, and it was very difficult to achieve this criminal proceeding, so indeed our team of the mezh anti-corruption center finally managed , after all, through the court, through the decision of the investigating judge of the higher anti-corruption court, everything to pledge to the national anti-corruption agency nabu to open a criminal proceeding, the number of this proceeding is already included in

the unified state register of pretrial investigations, this is very important, i am talking about it wrote in her social networks that the kharkiv community, activists from kharkiv, all those who are following the course of this case regarding possible embezzlement of state funds for construction and fortification, or they were following this case, as it is in general, under this number of the criminal proceedings, as these events developed, we began. when we actually when a few months ago this breakthrough happened so in the kharkiv direction, we investigated, investigated tenders, investigated procurement itself, investigated companies on which the kharkiv regional military the administration made contracts with a huge amount, er, it was done with five firms with a huge amount of money, more than 300 million hryvnias were signed with fictitious contracts. by firms that supplied, according to the kharkiv regional military administration, supplied,

supplied wood for the construction of fortifications, i said the word tenders here, but in fact it was done even without tenders, it was done without open tenders, yes, that is, they were direct contracts and then, as sinyohobov, the head of khova, kharkivska, explained to us so far of the regional military administration, it was said that the companies themselves found them, the companies themselves knew that they needed the forest, the companies themselves ran after the kharkiv regional military administration and offered them. such services, we obviously saw that these are fictitious companies, because the owners of such companies, they work in the fields, in agricultural work, work at the metallurgical plant, that there are criminal proceedings against these people, there were proceedings, yes, there were executive proceedings, that is where they were deprived of parental rights, where they stole alcohol and supermarket, that is, we understand that these are low-income people who were found, in fact, this is a very common scheme, and so i opened it. these are day-old firms, these firms were actually opened a few weeks

before the moment when such huge contracts worth millions of hryvnias were concluded with them, and these firms did not previously have any economic financial activity, no capacity, which would indicate that they can provide forest, they can provide firewood on such a huge scale, in order to build fortifications on kharkiv oblast, and we went straight. with a simple step, all that, all that we could do as activists, we published the material, and we hoped that there would be an appropriate reaction of the kharkiv regional military administration with a possible inspection, inspection of these firms, so with what is good , friends, let's stop, let's stop entering into any contracts with these firms, let's carry out inspections, but we faced a very... opposite, very unpleasant situation, because we were accused by the kharkiv oblast

the military administration in the spread of russian ipso, they say that there is no corruption there, and i quote what mr. sinigubov said, i don't care with which firms contracts are concluded, as long as they can supply the forest, that is, that these firms are fictitious, which is obvious to lawyers, for anti-corruption activists, it is a component of corruption... they were not bothered by it, but more, why did we submit what was our final decision, we realized that no, friends, we cannot leave this case like this, and we still did file an application about... committing a crime, this is according to the fifth part of article 191 of the criminal code about the possible embezzlement of state property, the decomposition of state property, why did we decide to do this, because after this briefing, where the kharkiv regional military administration said, they say no i am interested in who all these contracts are concluded with, they

concluded these contracts again, that is, these contracts were again concluded with the same firms after. public scandal, after there was a media scandal, after a huge number of journalists, internationalists were asked what is happening with possible corruption schemes on the fortifications, we understood that, okay, if the reaction to such our public position, public assessment is anti-corruption is like this, then we have run out of tools as public activists to somehow control, we have no other tools , we are not law enforcement officers, we do not have a procedural status, if you frankly forgive me... please, this is how they are hammering on the fact that you are trying to get to the point that there should be some changes and make it impossible to waste these money, then the only tool that remains is the law enforcement agencies, and we turned to the structure of nabu and the national anti-corruption bureau due to the fact that it is possible to just dismantle it, in order to check what is going on with these efficient firms and whether this could be

a component of a corruption crime, because in our opinion, it is true, it really is, and we also turned to the bep. bep is a bureau of economic security, why we turned to bep, because under the jurisdiction of the bep there are crimes related to, for example, tax evasion, and we are also very interested in such a thing found that these tovkas, there were four tovkas about the owners of which there were serious questions about this for us, this is obvious, which had signs of fictitiousness, we also found that these tovkas were not registered as taxpayers, but according to the law they should have, that is, this no, and in fact, on the... which were brought to these currents, in addition to what we would imagine, if these were not even fictitious enterprises, but such contracts were concluded and everything would be legal, conditionally, if it was the forest state, then it was not registered as a tovka, no taxes were paid, we are already talking about some approximately 20 million hryvnias, which the state did not receive from at least possible taxes,

that is, we understood that there are two components of a possible crime, namely corruption. a component, and actually in order to avoid martyn, the tsk, the tsk, which was created in the verkhovna rada, it somehow works now, you somehow have contact with them, perhaps because the head of this tsk also came to light in one scandalous story, and trust in this tsk people, well, you know, it's getting a little less, do you have any communication with this tsk now, i can say that... unfortunately, the work of the tsc, which should work on fortifications, the only way i can outline its work is a great shame for now, because let's go by the deadlines, the tsc, according to the resolution , must give the first conclusions within six months from the moment of its creation ,

the statement that... sounded last week from the parliament about the fact that the parliament is going on vacation sounded so shocking to me. it would be very interesting what would happen if a million of our defenders went on vacation, if you and i ended parole tomorrow, if that happened. yes, the parliament goes on vacation, of course there were explanations that everyone will continue their work in the committees and and, and nevertheless, we understand what this means. the parliament will not convene until the end of august, accordingly , the work of this tsc is blocked, now i will explain why... because the leadership was changing there , but what does this mean in terms of time, we lost 3 months, that is, here is a question, here is two, two such painful questions: the first thing is that we lose the term when, excuse me, the number one question in the state about a possible embezzlement concerns the construction of defense fortifications construction, when there is a war in the country, we lose

the deadline, because by august, when they will be on vacation, three months will have passed, it will be exactly half of the deadline when it is not done. absolutely nothing, when even the management is not in favor of such a fixed management structure, half of the term until the moment when they have to give the first report on the results of work, this is the first thing that is very shocking and unpleasantly shocking and so far i think that you know , i, i, i, i want to find an explanation for myself, how does this even happen, to me it seems that the work of the parliament has been closed from us for a very long time, the work, transparent work of the parliament has been for a very long time. closed from us from activists, the transparent work of the parliament was closed from the media for a very long time, and accordingly, all these 2.5 years took place in the parliament, that is, we saw after the fact that... happening in the parliament, it is often not clear what and in this way continues, that is, i already understand that some journalists were allowed to work in the parliament, but there are such unhealthy notes

of closedness of such work, they continue, and it is a shock for us, as well as for activists, that half of the three-month term will pass in august, and , sorry, the normal management composition has not been fixed yet, the work of the commission has not started normally, secondly, what, what, what surprised us very unpleasantly, is the composition commission, sorry. dear parliamentarians, you are creating a commission, a temporary special commission, which must understand the circumstances of spending state funds on the construction of fortifications, this seems to me to be number one, there is a possible corruption risk, especially as it concerns the defense industry, and you are part of this commission, to bring in people with whom there are questions not because of the... corruption component, they are not the ones who receive suspicions, we can, for example, the surname zadorozhnyi, whose head is mykola zadorozhnyi, the servant of the people, who

received, my god , being the head of the commission that should investigate whether there is a corrupt component to the purchase of the fortification, he receives suspicions from nabu about a possible composition, or rather, not an impossible one, but about the committed corruption crime, demanding demands from the head of the oms. the village head has a 10% kickback so as not to prevent him from building infrastructure object from the tender, that is, it's a shock, let's say, it's a shock, but what's even more shocking is that you introduce burmich and bort there, you introduce people from opzzh there, you introduce people who, for example, allowed themselves, if we are talking about burmich, blame the sex. states and blame the european union for the war in donbas, these are the people who pushed for the absolutely corrupt draft law 56-55, these are the people who even

earlier in the previous convocations, they absolutely pushed to block at the level, at the level of the constitution, changes to the anti-corruption legislation , these are people enemies of ukraine. and when we say, okay, this story happened with... a road, not clean on the hands of people's deputies from the servants of the people, who is suspected of being a corrupt member of the crime, but here there is a much worse risk, that is, you have people further down the line of this tsk, martyna, we agree with you, we don't have much time, if we summarize all this, what you have already described, doesn't this show that at the beginning of this whole story, everything was arranged in such a way that we would not learn the truth about the possibility of abuse. construction fortifications in the kharkiv region and perhaps in general this whole story with the tsk with the opening of the proceedings, this is so that you and i can calm down and understand that something

is being done, i just want to correct you and clarify a little, so the fact that a break was announced in the work of the plenary sessions of the verkhovna rada, this does not mean that the temporary special commission in the matter of fortification will not work, well, this is known, it is a regulatory issue and... the work in it will continue, what quality will this work be, well, whatever they say, let's wait and see, lady martyna, continue, i think that, ms. marta, i think that the creation of the commission was definitely done for this, there should be such a sign, for nevertheless for international partners, it is not so for us, as for activists, it is not so for you, as for the media, why was this commission created, because the internationals were very worried, they asked, we are allocating a huge amount of money, what is there with the construction of the fortification, whether there is a corruption component or not, it was necessary to give a reaction to somehow the highest top political level, it would be nice to create the tsk in

the parliament, to show that here at the highest level in the parliamentary-presidential form of work in the country, here the parliament reacted, but due to the fact that there is absolutely no work for three months, and i will remind you half the term before the first report of the commission's work. no result, this indicates a possible delay for us, why? in order to clean up the documents, if they need to be cleaned up, and in order, if you need to clean up anything on the physical construction itself, where these physical fortifications built, because the investigator, i apologize, the special commission can, it will evaluate, that is, not only the documents, it will also evaluate the physical condition of built, not built, where will they explain what they said the garden was for... it was actually built just for this the period of delay is that it can be done, it can be organized just during this period of delay, but the fact is that everything is not the same there simply because the verkhovna

rada went on vacation. of course, tsk is working, the only problem is that we understand that the management has not been transferred to na on the head, after after this suspicion, after the road trip, and here the tsk will not actually work until the composition is changed, he himself will not initiate it, because it will absolutely be a reputational mistake for the parliament, and even more so, i think, in at the end, maybe even legally, we understand that, after all, it will not stand most likely after that, when the parliament returns from vacation, i know this, i pronounce the word parliament will return from vacation, i do not believe that, that i am real i'm talking about the third year of the war, the word vacation, well, vacations, vacations more better, it won’t exactly stand on the first, in the first question, although there a huge number of opposition deputies wrote about it, spoke and so on, and it’s all the time, that is, friends, it’s all the time, you also asked me whether we have they are the contact, well, obviously, we immediately,

as soon as eh... wrote a statement to nabu, we immediately wrote to tsk, that is, we gave all our materials, we wrote everything, absolutely everything that we have in our hands, with us no one contacted razumkov, that is, only dmytro razumkov, he is in this tsk and he, but still in on a personal basis, that is, he went out with us, just wrote us a letter, but as a member of the tsk in fact, he was not from no no. thank you, martyna bohuslavets, the head of the mezh anti-corruption center, was in touch with us, but i have to correct ms. martyna here, and antin has already done it, we are actually talking about the fact that there will be no meetings in the session hall of the verkhovna rada until mid-august , but at least that's what the speaker of the parliament ruslan stepanchuk said, that for now they will work in committees, that is , the deputies did not go on vacation, everyone is working,

just meetings. there is no parliament now we are going on a break, after that we continue our information day, be with espresso, in a few minutes, we continue, tired of the mess in the kitchen, constantly having to go through a bunch of pans to find the right one, you need the savory pro kit, unpack the tv, savevori pans pro fold into one another and take up so little space, and the price is from where... uah 99. the saivory pro set is five pans from one to 9 liters with lids for any occasion. use them on the stove and even in the oven. made pans with a rack to damage to stainless steel. savery pro pans will serve you for many years. from now on, food heats up evenly, cooks quickly and does not burn. and how elegant they are, laconic design and such bright colors. and the main feature is the well-thought-out
