noon and from 4 pm to midnight. during this period , the energy industry will apply two shifts at once, the message says. information about detailed schedules regarding. of each region is available on oblenergo websites and their pages in social networks. the process of european integration against pressure at zmi in kyiv, they discussed the challenges to freedom of speech during the war. the representative of the european commission tanel thanh noted ukraine's adoption of the law on media and revision of the law on advertising and assured that the european commission will monitor how these laws will be implemented . the experts also reminded that the ukrainian media still are under pressure and threat, not only because of the russian enemy. first of all, this is the system of our financial expenses, that is, what could be

directed to development, to the implementation of provisions of the law on media, more funding of quality content on a competitive basis mainly goes to the armed forces, well... because quite often the government abuses it, directs it to those channels that can be said to be state-owned. unfortunately, a lot of bad things are pumped out under the guise of martial law. in particular, they try to explain political censorship in our country by the necessity of martial law, when tv channels are closed, in particular tv channels from press, direct and five, and they are still thrown out of the t2 digital broadcasting system. why? these are pro-ukrainian patriot. channels that work within the framework of the legislative field, there is no question for them from the point of view of legislation. with ukraine in his heart, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia, the pole david denerd has been helping ukrainians to deliver humanitarian aid and actively supporting refugees. currently

, davyd denerd brought the most necessary items to three orphanages as volunteers, let's see further. a specialized house where... malva, children from birth to seven years old live here, out of 60 pupils, a third are children with disabilities, when the institution urgently essential items are needed, the administration is turning to volunteers, says acting director of the institution iryna vershinina. we always need pampers, as well as all the detergents and medicines we ordered, because now everything is very difficult, then according to the tenders and the child. we need, for example, a lot of children with structural epilepsies who need constant prescription of anticonvulsant drugs. for the third time , the pole david denerd came to lviv with a humanitarian initiative, the man was collecting money for

needs of big houses through social networks. the idea arose by itself. i saw on the internet that someone somewhere went to ukrainian orphanages . and i decided that i would do the same, because the needs are really great, i was very affected by the war in general, which is going on, so i decided to be human and just help. in a week, david managed to collect almost 800 zlotys, that is, about 80 thousand hryvnias. with this money, he bought hygiene products, stationery, food products, medicines and toys for children. this is all for children's homes in lviv, ternopil and it is necessary to bring something for the children so that they can learn to draw, write, washing powders, liquid detergents and a lot of diapers, because they are very necessary for small children here, as well as wet wipes. during the blockade

of the polish-ukrainian border, david denerd brought food, water and medicine to ukrainian drivers. those drivers were there in terrible conditions, and i was also very affected by it, and therefore i went to that border a lot, helped the drivers. there were several such exits. this help was needed. and it really made it warmer polish-ukrainian relations, because the ukrainians who stood in those queues saw that not all poles are so bad and can behave differently. david denert recently created a charity that helps our refugees in poland when they are persecuted or attacked because of their nationality. in this way, ukrainians can count on psychological and legal support. iryna oliynyk, andriy polikovskyi, espresso tv channel. for now, this is all the news for this hour,

see you at 10. the war is going on, and not only for territories, it is also and the war for minds. well, we are engaged in propaganda. russia is throwing millions of petrodollars into turning ukrainians into little russians. ukraine will become russia. let's counter the information attacks of the russians in the chronicles of information war project with olga ley. tuesday-thursday at 17:15, repeat, tuesday-friday at 22:00. a journalist who joined the armed forces, a political expert who became a special agent. taras berezovyts in a new project on espresso. the real front is a thorough analysis of the main events.

reports, comments of leading specialists and experts analytics from the major of the armed forces. how to make sense of disturbing news and distinguish truth from hostile propaganda. the real front program with taras berezovets every saturday at 21:30 on espresso. why was putin not arrested in mongolia? how does the international criminal court and international law work, what is the purpose of the arrest warrant, which does not work, and is this window of opportunity already closed, or can handcuffs still be put on the head of the kremlin? this is svoboda ranok, my name is kateryna nekrecha, and we are starting. so, putin is in mongolia. he came there on two days on an official visit, despite the fact that this is a country where he would potentially be

arrested. if you have forgotten, the head of the kremlin, well, not that he is wanted, because everyone seems to know where he is, but there is a warrant for his arrest, issued by the international criminal court in the hague back in march 2023, for which putin is accused of illegal deportation and illegal transfer of ukrainian children. but this country is a signatory of the rome statute, we hear from all sides, and this is true, does this really oblige mongolia to arrest putin, my colleague will explain bohdan logunov. as soon as putin crosses the mongolian border, he should be arrested and handed over to the international criminal court, according to the rome statute, to which this country is a signatory. the second world war forced various states to think about creation in a special way. courts for exceptional cases to prevent conflicts and punish criminals. these reflections

took several dozen years, because only in 1998 in rome, 160 states agreed to create an international criminal court, hence the name of the document that the court uses in its work governed by: the roman statute. the powers of the court are narrow. it punishes genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. after the signing of the roman statute, the crimes were committed. member countries or on their territory become subject to an international criminal court, and this proceeding concerns only citizens, that is, the state or organization will not be tried. it is important that the court will be able to prosecute anyone only if the national law enforcement system cannot or does not want to do it in the necessary way, so it seems to complement the national judiciary. countries retain responsibility for punishing people who commit the most serious crimes. each state that signed and ratified the rome statute has not only rights, but also obligations. one of them is

the detention of a person for whose arrest the court has issued a warrant. any state party to the rome statute, the un security council or simply a state that recognizes the court's jurisdiction can ask the prosecutors of the international court to investigate. if there is enough evidence of a crime, an investigation, trial and sentencing will begin. i wonder what... how the court can only declare a prison term as punishment, supplementing it with the confiscation of property, and the convicted serve their prison sentence in a state that is ready to accept them. why is putin taking such risks, why did he come to ulaanbaatar ? putin's visit, dedicated to the celebration of the 85th anniversary of the victory of the soviet and mongolian troops over the japanese forces on the khalgyn gol river. there he has to meet with the president of the country, who invited him there , and discuss cooperation between their states. agency bloomberg, citing sources familiar with

in preparation for this visit, they wrote that mongolia allegedly assured russia to arrest putin. they won't be, so it seems that the kremlin is not afraid that the russian president will be handcuffed in mongolia. putin's spokesman dmytro piskov says so: there are no worries about this, russia has an excellent dialogue with mongolia, all aspects of the visit were previously discussed. mongolia is being called on from all sides to arrest putin. so, for example, in the international organization human rights watch, they say that this visit by putin, who... for the numerous victims of the crimes of russian troops, but it will also undermine the important principle that no one, no matter how powerful, is above the law. russian opposition leader volodymyr karmurza, who was recently released from a russian prison in a major exchange, also believes that mongolia should arrest the kremlin leader.

just a few days ago, i along with many other representatives. of the russian opposition of russian civil society signed a public appeal to the mongolian authorities about what they should do its absolutely clear legal obligation to arrest citizen putin on the basis of a warrant issued by the international criminal court on suspicion of war crimes, as soon as he is on the territory of mongolia. mongolia is known to have signed and ratified the rome statute. since last year, if i am not mistaken, there has been a judge representing mongolia at the international criminal court. well, it seems to me that a country that claims to be part of the civilized world must fulfill the terms of the international agreement that it signed and ratified, therefore, from the point of view of international law, it is not a matter of choice or desire, it is a matter of legal obligation, and it must definitely be fulfilled. and pavlo klimkin, minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, 14-19

years old, joins our broadcast. i welcome pavel to our broadcast, thank you for joining. greetings to all, friends, pavle. why was putin not arrested in mongolia, and is there still time for this before the visit is over? they will not do this, in my opinion, there is no risk for putin in mongolia. moreover, i believe that this visit, at least in part, is aimed at showing political symbolism, well, because these are events that are aimed at ... commemorating events against japan, and japan now, according to putin, is part of the western of the world, actually, and in my opinion, only we think fundamentally differently, and secondly, the entire system of the international criminal court works if its members are ready

to work for it, and mongolia, firstly, is not ready, and secondly, for this it should... get independent and very powerful judicial bodies, and the prosecutor general's office is actually that the body that should be responsible for the arrest of putin, if he is able to act independently in western society, then yes, if not, then big questions arise, and thirdly, in my opinion, this visit was planned in the kremlin. and also to show that the system of the international criminal court, it is simply, partly not working, partly in holes, and in general international law does not work, and it needs to be rewritten as needed by the key geopolitical players, russia itself

is also part of the statute un, in the un charter is going... it is about peace, it is about rules, russia, remaining in the security council, and as a permanent member, fundamentally violates this statute, therefore the destruction of the entire system of international law continues, and in particular that which was achieved around the international space station with such difficult efforts, and here the iss and the western society of the western countries cannot do anything about it. they can, and i think they should, in fact, first, they should tell mongolia that there will be consequences for not complying with the principles of international law. i think the west should very well calibrate what he should do in terms of his relations with mongolia, in

terms of possible sanctions, and i believe that the sanctions from this implementation of the icc charter are a serious story, the only problem is that mongolia is located between russia and china, and to take advantage of sanctions for mongolia, which would work quite difficult, especially since... a large part of what goes to the west is raw materials, and thirdly, i believe that the west should gather, well, not only the west, all countries , who are not indifferent to the very principles of the iss, and to say that if there is one hole now, then tomorrow the whole system can collapse, but then the principle of punishment for crimes, it loses its meaning, and this is a very... a big question for the world, which is rebooting into another, into another iteration, so 100% maybe there are discussions about it, but

not as we would like, unfortunately, pavle, it is possible to arrest putin at all, there is an arrest warrant, it was issued last year, and it was such a big event, but it turns out that with nothing can be done with that warrant. it is possible, but only if putin comes to countries where the rule of law applies. unfortunately, the very system of devotion to the principles of international law and the statute of the icc, well, the icc is something that is in the middle between international law and the actual need to establish the principles of punishment at the international level, where there is the rule of law, it works there. and international law, as part of it, where there is none, and so on, will not work, then what is happening today in mongolia is

another and very unpleasant division into, so to speak, good and bad, those who understand right and ready to fulfill it, and those who understands the law, but is not ready to fulfill it for the sake of some interests. or simply unable to comply, and this is more than a bell, it is also a blow to international law, and if countries that understand the rule of law simply miss it and sweat it, then this will have consequences for the entire icc system. thank you, pavle, for joining the svoboda ranok broadcast, pavlo klimkin, minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, was a guest of our broadcast for 14-19 years. what about in ukraine, in the ukrainian foreign ministry, the decision of the mongolian authorities to allow vladimir putin to come to the country despite the international criminal court's arrest warrant being called a blow to

the international system of criminal law. the spokesman of the ministry of foreign affairs, georgy tykhii, said that the ministry would work to ensure that this would have consequences for ulaanbaatar. however, what exactly were the consequences not specified there? did ukraine do everything to achieve this arrest, and what were the consequences, perhaps they said. in the ministry of foreign affairs, we will ask people's deputy of ukraine oleksandr mereshko, head of the committee on foreign policy and interparliamentary cooperation, joined svoboda ranok, i welcome you to to our broadcast, thank you for joining. good morning, thank you for the invitation. your version of why putin was not arrested? well, it is more about political reasons, because in my opinion, this was a carefully planned provocation on the part of putin, because he was trying to prove in this way, to show the world. that he is not afraid of the arrest warrant that was issued by the international criminal court, and he was waiting and trying to implement this provocation earlier,

when it came to the brics summit in the republic of south africa, he also tried to implement this provocation related to brazil, but failed, and he chose, in my opinion, perhaps the weakest link, mongolia, which is largely ... dependent on russia in terms of energy carriers, its geopolitical location is also not conducive to such a complete of independence, if you can say so, and he realized what he wanted this provocation, please tell me, but do you see, the ukrainian foreign ministry stressed that there will be consequences, what consequences may be involved, and in this context, is the ukrainian state somehow communicated with representatives? somehow asked, i don't know, hinted, maybe by western partners, on the eve of this visit, made some diplomatic moves in this direction, so that this arrest warrant would work. in

mongolia? well, of course, there was a corresponding statement from the ministry of foreign affairs, which was quite prompt, the fact is that the ambassador of mongolia, he is, so to speak, a part-time ambassador to ukraine, he is physically located in warsaw, in poland, so here and also one problem that arose, by the way, i met with the last ambassador of mongolia, and he was just about to leave the country. and there was a change of ambassador, that is, it may have prevented such direct communication, but despite this, for example, i can give an example, on saturday a group of ukrainian parliamentarians, i also signed this letter, they sent a letter to the parliament of mongolia, that is, such communication in different directions, in different dimensions, it took place, in relation to your question about the consequences, i see here that

it is possible to talk about... two types of consequences: firstly, as here we are talking about the violation of the rome statute, which created an international criminal court, that is, we need to look for the corresponding consequences for mongolia from the point of view of the mechanisms that are laid down in this international treaty, it is primarily about the article, the article about, well, in view of this article, what are the mechanisms provided for by the rome statute itself, these are primarily negotiations, i.e. trying to... convince a state, in this case it's mongolia, that it violated the rome statute, that it failed to comply with an arrest warrant, which is an obligation, that is, mongolia failed to fulfill its obligations under an international treaty, negotiations, if it's not manages to then, if i am not mistaken, within three months you can apply to the assembly of member states, at the end of this year, i remind you, such an assembly will take place, and ukraine, as a state that

has ratified the rome statute, which will soon become a full member, because will enter into force the rome statute for ukraine, it will be able to raise this issue at such a platform as the assembly of member states, but at the same time, by the way, a legal mechanism is provided there, that is, it is possible, if these mechanisms do not work, you can apply to the international court, but it is possible to consider this issue a little differently from the point of view of international law, in this context it is possible to speak, as was said in the statement of the spokesman of the ministry of foreign affairs, to speak with our partners about certain consequences, that is, about certain international sanctions, as you know, this is really a blow not only to the reputation of the international criminal court, but also to international law as a whole. oleksandr, mr. klimkin just said that there might be some kind of sanctions, but the process will be

the responsibility of ukraine. but it will be to seek, together with western partners, with the eu countries, including that there should be real responsibility for this. i hope that there will be such responsibility and such consequences, because i have seen statements, for example, by the heads of committees of some parliaments of european countries, they said that yes, you know, it cannot be left with impunity, without any consequences, so i am sure that there will be such consequences. but at the same time, i think they will not be radical and serious enough for mongolia, because the western countries will take into account mongolia's vulnerability, and geopolitically, it 's between russia and china, and so it's a very difficult situation for mongolia, but it made a mistake, it did it deliberately, when it invited, it could have not invited putin, i don't know if there was pressure, for sure there was

some pressure from the kremlin on... to implement this putin provocation, but she succumbed to this pressure and must be held accountable for it. oleksandr, there probably was, but you don't know for sure if there was such pressure? i am not sure that i was, that is, i have no evidence, but myself logic speaks of this, because it was not in the interests of mongolia, mongolia after all, well, it positions itself as such an oasis of democracy in this region, but if there will be no significant consequences, then in principle... some other countries will see this example and follow it, we still have a minute, but what do your contacts say unofficially, ofrek, diplomats, there are colleagues-deputies from western countries, are they really worried about this, or in principle, well, i came to mongolia for nothing influenced, they were not arrested, although the country is a signatory of the roman statute, and nothing like that, do they really have any...
