already from the trailer it is clear that visually it is very interesting and bright, and also, well , i'm just interested to watch our documentarians, who do their work very well usually, let's see an excerpt, on the neck of the corpse, there are chains, a cross, half of a heart, i will always be with you with the inscription. well, we will talk with olga in just a few minutes, and now i will tell you that our... filmmakers are also reporting about betrayal, and

daria pesella, the producer, and the producer, in particular of this tape, she wrote that i went and watched a movie that had warnings, it was called russians at war, it's called a documentary by a certain anastasia trofimova, who, as i said at the beginning of our program, filmed tapes for rasha todei, now she filmed a judge. from everything a completely propaganda film, like many russian cinematographers, she is now coded as a russian woman, that is, she positions herself everywhere as a russian-canadian director, and the producers also call their film french-canadian, not russian, we we see these russian soldiers, with whom the director spent seven months of her life, who let her there, again... we

understand the same thing, and judging by what dasha described, the film evokes sympathy for the russian soldiers, she also writes, that the director does not at all emphasize that russia started this war in 2014, it starts the war from the 22nd, and in general she is very surprised how my country could do such a thing, after all, such a thing... has never happened, that is, again after all, there is no reflection that russia is constantly attacking different countries for many, many years, and this is not surprising, that is, aggression in ukraine, unfortunately, is not surprising. and i want to quote daria baselya, here she writes, i quote, she addresses, by the way, she wrote her post in english, she addresses foreigners, this is very important, because we need to communicate, and while the new minister... we are getting used to a new job,

a new position, we have private people who deal with communications, i quote: you will feel pity for the people who die in the film, and for those who mourns their loved ones and you should if you are a normal person you should feel regret and sadness and emotions but also remember that these people joined an army that invaded an independent country many of them did so voluntarily as we learn from the film, it is also worth mentioning bucha, erpin. mariupol and those civilians who were killed there. remember the thousands of children who were illegally taken from ukraine to russia. while i am writing this, and you are reading, rockets are flying at ukrainian cities, buttons are being pressed by ordinary russians, or their crimes are less significant only because they claim not to know why they are fighting this war. end of quote. i will say that the so -called liberal media, the russian media, do not deal with these narratives, which constantly... pushes the idea that

ordinary russians are not to blame, it is only putin, it is only his entourage, russians do not want to fight, most of all to me this moment likes kanal dosch, which was wiped out of the baltic countries because they allowed themselves a lot there, but they show, for example, covering our kurdish operation, they first show these russians, who say that putin is in love, putin is here. they tell absolutely frankly that their relatives are now defending donbas, that we support the so-called svo, right away the presenters say that ordinary russians don't want war, it's only putin, well, in other words, they have absolutely nothing there does not add up in the head, even among people who do not directly work for russian propaganda, but it turns out that they still work for it, anastasia trofimova herself, but now we can see short from... to see what she

looks like, she was at a press conference, and they asked her, "why don't you think that you are whitewashing criminals and humanizing them," she says: next, i quote. i find this a bit of a strange question. we can, can we humanize or not humanize someone, are there lists of people we can humanize and those we can't. of course, we must humanize everyone. this is a huge tragedy for our region, first of all, and for the whole world. if we do not perceive each other as people, these black and white stereotypes about each other will lead to the continuation of the war, it will only increase the hatred. unfortunately, this is kind of the way to go. which politicians go, but i don't think that this is the way that ordinary people should go, the end of the quote, that is, well, we see this again, it's not people, it's all politicians, it's absolutely clear to all of us that there are some omissions, messages, but unfortunately, i understand that not all foreigners and

not all countries read this, because it is simply perceived as the protection of people's rights, we, unfortunately, see a lot of cases when in european... western european countries directly protect the russian military and also claim that they can be victims of this regime. i want to finally talk to olga zorba, she is currently at the venice film festival with the director of the film songs of the slowly burning earth. thank you for finding 10 minutes for us. i understand that you have a very busy schedule there, you are doing very... important, important things, communication in particular, but let's talk about your tape first, because i didn't watch it, i watched it is clear only the trailer, which is still available, i read the first reviews, and the majority heard positive reviews, but tell me how you

position this film yourself, how you see it and how, in your opinion, it differs from other documentaries of our ukrainian directors about. .. a full-scale invasion, what did you put in there? well, first of all, i, through myself, as a person, all the experiences that i also lived, and tried to capture and broadcast, transform into the language of cinema, and the changes that are taking place, which i observe in our society, and caused by the war. and it is the film that examines, let's say, the first stage of these changes, because it seems to me that in the future, well , if it starts, you know, such a new page in our society, we get used to war and

sorry, i'm sorry, i'm just here from where, that's it of. about reviews, right? yes, i think you have read the reviews, well, i have only received positive ones, so far, no one has scolded you yet, and well, listen, it is not for me to evaluate my film somehow, there are special people for this, it is my job to make a film, release it him to the world and to promote narratives that are important to us and that are supposed to destroy established myths. about ukraine, about our culture and, in general, about the war in general, that is why i laid down, ah, in this way, in my opinion, important as well as meaningful messages, which i hope will reach

an international audience, not only ours, because i tried to make this film both for ukrainians and for the international audience. and also i think that the film will be or this film will be in the context of today and how it will be read after several generations, it was important for me to make a film that will be understandable out of context, will be understandable for people who will no longer remember, that is - i also thought about such categories when i was making, when we were filming. when we edited and when we present the film now. olo, you said that you put in some of these moments, so about our country, about some possible destruction of stereotypes, can you say what these are exactly, what are these moments, what exactly did you want to convey to foreigners and in what

way? well, here not only for foreigners, but also for us, i will tell you, because ukrainians have a huge menschuv complex. and it seems to me that the international audience is lulled by russian one-hundred-year-old or 200-year-old propaganda about... 40 people, for example, there is a scene that, in my opinion, shows how our society is very, well , i'm proud, in fact, i even when i myself saw what we filmed and how it looks, i felt proud of ukrainians, because we have very high spiritual values, and there are several steppes. where we emphasize it without even realizing it,

but i also wanted to ask olya about this and that film by a russian director, the one who says that she is not russian, she is russian-canadian, because daria pysel wrote a very resonant post, so she told me that you also had to watch it all, i sympathize with you once again, although i myself sometimes watch some russian propaganda for reviews, but that's all it is terribly difficult to watch, but please tell us your impressions of this film in russian, it is still russian, although it is positioned as a french-canadian one, and most importantly, what impressions did you observe from the audience at the venice film festival, because all of us here are constantly frightened by the fact that russia is pushing its propaganda and everyone is going after it, is it really so, does it really go down very well with... the film festival audience, and yes, this film is made

to the maximum, and this the film is made for that, it is precisely aimed at an international audience, which, let's say, plays pacifism and is under the spell of this darkness, it seems to me that it is thematic when you try all of you. to give, but it seems to me that this is an excuse for war criminals at a time when they are still committing crimes, that too crime, and i spoke a little about it at the press conference, because at that time i did not have the opportunity to watch a russian film, because it was after ours, but like, well, i read the synopsis and treatment of these directors, i also read the biographies , and the fact that the director worked until, it seems, the 18th year of the propagandist russian broadcaster rasha today, which now calls

for the genocide of the ukrainian people in general, justifies itself, tells me much more than any other there, even the process of the film, or any what thoughts, that is, i'm not anymore i trust, let's say, a person who worked after, for example, the occupation, she can no longer be disengaged, and... and of course, i was asked this question at a press conference, and then i went to see this film, purely from the social anthropological from such a point of view that it seems important to me to know even not so much about the film, how the audience reacts to such films, because in principle this film was obvious to me what it was about, but... i was interested in how the international reacts audience, and

at the premiere, it seems to me that it really happened there are more foreigners, and that is why it is difficult to say here, but the very fact that this film was given this platform and the very fact that the director and the film team, which, by the way, is also there in france and... canada and these producers were also watched by the press - the conference of this team, and i think that it does not seem, i'm just sure that this should become part of the crime in general, that they now instead of jailing, roughly speaking, these people play, yes, so that they are responsible for all war crimes, this team... justifies them and this is such a blur in general positions, this is further prolonging the war, and

it seems to me that this is catastrophically, well , catastrophically a really painful situation, and we as ukrainians now need to work out a strategy, how to make sure that this film simply does not get anywhere further. ol, thank you, unfortunately, the connection is very bad, but we heard you, thank you for telling us about it, well, we will work out some kind of strategy with the new minister, we will meet in the min'. cult and somehow ask the new minister to try to do something, especially as they say that he understands this issue, i will finally tell you, friends, that after all, big film festivals, they remain in many respects, on the one hand, russophile, because if you were told for many years about

the great russian culture, about the promotion of russian cinema, because russia really did it a lot. always invested a lot of money there in the development of its culture, especially for export, so that everyone in the world admires this culture, people are used to it and by inertia respect this russian culture, its representatives, artists, this is on the one hand there is such an attitude, and on the other hand, there is russian money, with which it is quite possible to bribe someone, we cannot assert anything, but more than once our moviegoers went to the premiere. conspiracies that exist, well, or directly bought, for example, selectors there at various film festivals, that is, people who select films, that is, they took the russian film, selected it, and that is why it was shown at the venice film festival, or at the cannes film festival there are also a lot of russians at film festivals, there are a lot of russians at the berlinale, they

travel around, buy films from various manufacturers, because at the beginning of a full-scale invasion. major majors, that is, film studios, american, large producers all left the russian market together, and european producers, on the contrary , entered there even more, because there was room, and for example, the french are now making great money on the russian market, because the russians no longer have anything to watch, although they watch it well, because they just steal these american films and show them in cinemas, but the french, germans, italians feel great in those markets and... on alas, the following story is happening, when money, sentiments, long-term informational and cultural policy of russia are doing their job, and ukrainian state policy, on the contrary, is taking a back seat, and this is taking into account the fact that we have resources, taking into account the fact that we have there are a lot of artists who make very good works, who

make good films, and well, let's repeat myself once again, follow and... communicate with the new minister of culture and strategic communications. friends, i say goodbye to you, i wish you a nice and peaceful weekend and i say goodbye to next week watch this week's judicial control with tatyana shustrova in the program. competition for the higher anti-corruption court, why with... but as a judicial mafia opposing the reform, no reforms are needed, give money and get rid of us. congratulations, judicial control is on the air. the judicial system of ukraine needs a thorough reboot. this is one of the requirements of our accession to the european union.

we took the first important step in 2019, when we created a higher anti-corruption unit. the court considers part of ukraine's international obligations partners it is designed to ensure an effective fight against corruption and to restore citizens' trust in state institutions. however , now this important judicial body needs to increase its staff. how is the competition going and what challenges do you have to overcome along the way? we will talk about this today. but first to the news. svitlana kolegaeva, judge of the dysnian district court of kyiv again. jumped drunk, now in the military unit of the armed forces of ukraine, where she was mobilized to stop the investigation of the case of drunken driving. in 2021, kolegaeva will drive the audi, registered to her mother, left the road, knocked down a pole and crashed into a tree. miraculously, no one was hurt. the obolon district court of kyiv fined the judge uah 17 and deprived him

of his driver's license for one year. at the same time , public activists sent a complaint against kolegaeva to the supreme council of justice. with a demand to dismiss her from her position. however, when it was time to consider the complaint, svitlana koligayeva mobilized to the armed forces of ukraine and the case against her was stopped. however, recently the judge was arrested again while intoxicated condition this time while serving. therefore , the supreme council of justice resumed consideration of the disciplinary case, and svetlana kolegaeva is threatened with dismissal. former head of the state judicial administration, oleksiy salnikov, whose national anti-corruption bureau and specialized. the anti-corruption prosecutor's office was found guilty of bribery and is on trial for reinstatement. his lawyers emphasize that due to dismissal from his position , salnikov has no sources of income and lives on loans, and only part of his property. the apartment, which is seized. so salnikov submitted suing the court for reinstatement and demanding payment of salary for the period of forced absenteeism. at the same time, the defense tried

to reduce the bail amount, which initially amounted to uah 805. now the lawyers asked to reduce it to 214 thousand. however, the panel of judges dismissed this request. we will remind, at butasap, oleksiy salnikov was exposed for inciting bribery of judges of the supreme court. according to the investigation , the official received from a representative of a commercial enterprise $7,500, five of which were to be handed over to the judge for making a decision. salnikov was to keep $2,500 for mediation services. in ukraine, the competition for one of the most important judges of the country, the highest anti-corruption court, is ongoing. he examines cases involving top officials, ministers, people's deputies, judges, and top managers of state-owned enterprises. these are, in particular , bribery cases. abuse of power, illegal enrichment, theft of state property and other corruption crimes. apply a preventive measure in the form of bail in the amount of andriy volodymyrovych, the suspect koboliv

85,413 subsistence minimums for able-bodied persons, which amounts to uah 229,248,492. the creation of a higher anti-corruption court is part of ukraine's obligations to international partners, including the european union and international. currency fund in the framework of fighting corruption and reforming the judicial system. this strengthens international support for ukraine and promotes european integration. so the crystal clear reputation of the wax judges is extremely important. ukraine, unfortunately, found itself in a rather exceptional situation, when due to subjective and objective reasons, our courts of first instance could not consider these cases efficiently and quickly. actually, due to the fact that there was a significant delay in the consideration of cases in which the pre-trial investigation was carried out on... the idea of ​​creating an anti-corruption court appeared. since the establishment of the higher anti-corruption court in 2019, the number of judges has remained unchanged. 27 vaks judges and 11

appeals chamber judges. instead, the number of cases constantly increased, after the beginning of the full-scale invasion, cases about the confiscation of assets of russians and ukrainians were added to its jurisdiction collaborators the average number of cases and materials under consideration by one vaks judge in 2023 is 428. on average, one judge in 2023 was handling 13 criminal proceedings, and the investigative judge had 960 materials. also, the jurisdiction of the higher anti-corruption court included the collection of unjustified assets from the state revenue, the so-called civil confiscation, as well as the application of sanctions provided for by the law on sanctions against the accomplices of the aggressor and other persons who create. safety national security and territorial integrity of ukraine. last year, in november, the higher qualification commission of judges

of ukraine announced an additional recruitment for 25 vacant positions. the competition is held with the involvement of a public council of international experts. previously, how was the selection of judicial vacancies in general? someone comes who has been agreed upon for a long time, they ask them how you like the weather, how you like the nature. they tell me that everything is cool with me, with you. uh, like business and formality, that is, it was and they get a position, now uh, well, a little bit at a time little by little, we have brought everything to the point where we have formalized, standardized stages of selection, and this selection is quite thorough, and it is quite similar to how judges are selected in other countries. candidates for the positions of judges first undergo testing, perform a practical task and pass a special check. next, the higher qualification commission of judges examines the candidates' files. conducts interviews together with international experts, after which the supreme council of justice sends a submission with the winners of the competition to the president, he officially appoints a candidate for the position.

you have an iq test, you have arrived, you have not arrived, and if you are already at this stage, if you simply do not understand what is happening, if you cannot pass, sorry, 2+2 at a sufficient level, then about the rest you don't need to be allowed to write a court decision, don't you need to be asked what your property is, if you are already well... not enough, sorry, if you have the abilities at this stage, then you can save time and effort at other stages of the selection . although this selection of judges is qualitatively different from what happened in 2019 year, at the stage of formation of the anti-corruption court, the so-called judicial mafia still does not lose hope of gaining influence and key control. representatives of the same judicial corps are often members of the judicial mafia, which does not want to leave their positions. they say about what you see. their argument that we don't need international experts, everything is already fine with us, well, that is, fairy tales that we don't need any reforms, give us money and

get rid of us, for a competition to the highest. 238 candidates submitted documents to the anti-corruption court, the higher qualification commission of judges admitted 161 of them, there is a lot of work in the commission, at the same time competitions for other judicial bodies and qualification evaluation of the current themis officials are ongoing, and harmful manipulations that play into the hands of the same judicial mafia are heard more and more often. this is the constant pressure, and this is the refrain that has been heard for more than one year, far from the revolution of dignity, as soon as some proposals have started. reforms from judges, let's have a terrible staffing shortage, let's quickly fill vacancies, we don't have enough judges here, we need more judges, more judges, the number of judges, everything that we have the biggest problem with quality, not with quantity. in the meantime , many applicants whose integrity is questionable have applied for positions in the vax. anna nadtochiyeva, lawyer and wife of the judge of the higher anti-corruption court andrii bitiuk. sledstvo info journalists established that she became

the owner during a full-scale invasion. to a cottage of 167 m2 near desna, from where kyiv is 20 minutes by car, and forgot to declare this property. previously, journalists received an email that could to testify that anna nadtochiyeva helped her husband, the judge, write court decisions against high-ranking officials suspected of corruption. perhaps, perhaps, he asked me to correct some text there, because he did not have time, that he was in the meeting from morning to evening and... it was necessary to pass resolutions, but i do not remember anything at all, anyone, nor any other circumstances. perhaps, in this way, anna nadtochiyeva was already preparing for the competition for the post of judge of the higher anti-corruption court and practicing wording. journalists too found a discrepancy between the valuable property owned by nadto chiyeva and her official income. for example, in 2017, as the head of the bar association, she earned a little

over uah 40,000. at the same time, she had an apartment and an unfinished house of 300 m2 in mykolaiv, an unfinished apartment in odesa and a garden house, as well as several cars, so there are many questions about anna nadtochiyeva's suitability for the high position of uvax, for which she is applying, and among 161 candidates she is not one needs to be carefully checked and appropriate evaluations in the next editions, we will definitely introduce you to the brightest candidates for the highest antikor. and for today, that's all i have, it was judicial control and i, tetyana shostrova. if you know the facts of corruption in the judicial system, or you want to report about a judge exceeding his powers or making illegal decisions, write to me on facebook or to the email address you see on your screens.

all the best and see you soon. but in a week. this is an espresso interview, i'm oleksandr morchivka, i'll be with you in the next few minutes, and today we are talking about energy. it is clear that this field continues to be under the enemy's sights. will we be with the light as we pass? heating season, we will talk about it in detail with the guest of the studio. stanislav ignatiev, head of the council of the ukrainian renewable energy association, visited us. glad to see. congratulations, glad to see, glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. mr. stanislav, well, i will start with the last statement of the minister of energy. he was in the verkhovna rada, during the hour of questions to the government, said that with of the gigawatt of gas shunting generation planned this year, hundreds

of megawatts have already been built, i.e. a significant share. and if everything goes well with our energy system, the enemy will not attack critical infrastructure, then we will successfully pass the winter. in your opinion, can this gigawatt of generation really save ukraine from total darkness and total frost. first of all, what is currently being built is the construction of local government bodies, in large cities, such as my native kharkiv, gas-piston ones are being installed. settings for objects critical infrastructure, primarily heat networks and water canals, in order to provide coolant and drinking water to citizens in periods of possible blackouts, even in the absence of centralized energy supply, electricity supply, and there are a lot of scenarios for what the president wanted at the ukraine recovery conference in berlin.
