they emphasize that rebuilding bridges is not a luxury, but a necessity. some of them are of key importance not only for civilian, but also for military logistics. the significant object is located on the highway m03, kyiv-kharkiv-dozhanskyi, which combines many regions, it is the main artery of road management, one of the most important arteries of road management, humanitarian corridors and others that currently. very important for ukraine. rebuilding bridges is not only difficult, but also dangerous, especially in war zones. in particular this one the bridge was mined, and now rockets are flying past it. the entire area was mined before the start of work, we had to wait until it was demined. well, there was no shelling of the precinct itself, thank god, but there were, well, a rocket flew overhead. there were many times where we were working on objects, hitting

either near or in the artificial structure itself, where people, road workers, road workers, construction workers were working, because of this work was suspended at some objects for a while , on some completely suspended at the moment. precisely because of the threat of repeated shelling in services cannot publicly name which bridges have already been restored and which are being completed. it was completely destroyed and we were rebuilding it. from scratch, the work on the overpass is 100% done, it is ready, now the approaches to the overpass are being arranged, asphalting, as you can see, and the installation of the lower layers of road clothing. now we are at one object, which is already in the final stages, that is, the completion of the specified artificial structure is already 97%. the rest, as i will say with my sarafet, as we call it, are some of the final works stage and this is one of three bridges in the region

that have been completely repaired and put into operation. currently, 17 bridges are in operation, 10 of them are promised to be commissioned by the end of this year. artem lagutenko, oscar yanson from espresso tv channel. so, i would like to remind you that you are watching a special edition of the urban reconstruction and development program, and today our guest of our special edition is tetyana melnyk, she is... an expert on the restoration of municipal infrastructure of the association of cities of ukraine. ms. tetyana, once again congratulations on our broadcast, actually my colleague's story was about the reconstruction of objects in kharkiv oblast, as the head of the kharkiv regional military administration , oleg senigubov, said, only 30,000 infrastructure facilities in kharkiv oblast actually need such facilities. rebuilding, restoration, this is a crazy

number, within the framework of the whole of ukraine, do you know about the numbers, how many are infrastructure objects and how much of the housing stock of some private households need to be restored? for example, the losses in the field of transport infrastructure are very significant and they rank among all the losses that were caused to ukraine due to the armed conflict. aggression of the russian federation is in second place, this is about 20% of all direct losses, and according to the assessment that was made at the end of 2023, it is about 37 billion us dollars, in the first place in terms of losses, in terms of infrastructure destruction is housing itself, residential infrastructure, and these are very significant losses, and they... make up about

40% of the total, almost 40%, but today we operate with data from the end of 2023, when a rapid assessment of the damage caused by armed aggression (rdna3) was made, prepared, this is a report which is being prepared jointly by the world bank, the united nations, the government of ukraine and the european commission, such an accident is just at the end of 23. this year we are waiting for updated data, and in general, as far as social infrastructure in territorial communities is concerned, a very significant number of educational institutions have also been damaged, this 3,800 institutions were damaged, there are also destroyed objects, and such losses amount to about 5%, but for today it is reasonable. that during 2024

, during these more than eight months , new destructions took place, both residential and and very much the energy infrastructure, which yes... will add to the volume and maybe change the proportion of these losses somewhere, probably that in relation to housing, i also wanted to say that in relation to housing, such volumes, they reach more than, if translated into hryvnias more than 3 trillion hryvnias, this is a very large amount of damage and the need to restore not only direct damage, but also the need to restore such buildings is calculated, right? who is responsible for the restoration of infrastructure objects, and whose responsibility is the restoration of residential buildings? eh, there are various programs today, various mechanisms for recovery, of course, local self-government bodies work, the state works, international

partners, international organizations, many foreign states, european states, provide assistance directly to communities, for example, the country. the baltic states, estonia, latvia, and lithuania provide assistance to the de-occupied communities of kyiv oblast, buchi, in particular. in addition, we know very much about the fruitful, close cooperation of denmark with the mykolaiv city territorial community, in general with the mykolaiv region, this is such a long-term program aimed at right before the beginning, she was sent to provide humanitarian aid items. such for equipment, basic necessities, programs for longer-term support of the city in its restoration and development, in the planning of this restoration and development are already being prepared. does it make sense to rebuild all the objects, if we talk about

the infrastructure objects that were destroyed as a result of the russian attacks, maybe there are such objects that are already morally obsolete, and if they are to be restored, then in fact. to build from scratch according to some new principles, taking into account the latest technology? in order to answer this question, you need to understand how our recovery planning system is built today, as of today we already have several different documents, which, in particular, local self-government bodies must develop in order to plan their recovery, just like you. those needs, to analyze what needs to be restored, what does not need to be restored, what are the higher priority projects that can be implemented a little later, but today the legislation contains such a number, not that contradictions, but issues that need to

be agreed upon in order to establish and make the recovery process more effective, because there are several different documents and the plan from there. and the recovery program, which are provided for by legislation, communities are also developing development strategies, other sectoral documents that relate to the development of various areas at the local level or the resolution of certain issues, in addition, it took a very long time, but today we can say that the state strategy of regional development has already been updated development in which they are formulated the main challenges, including those caused by armed aggression, and based on such challenges, based on such a strategic document, which will be adopted in the updated edition in august, communities can plan more preferably, more ee understanding

what challenges are at the national level stand for recovery, can take into account in their development strategies, also the goals set in the state strategy. another problematic issue is that there is no separate clearly defined source of funding for these planning documents. plan there is recovery, but there is no clear source of funding for it. of course, local self-government bodies, from their local budgets, approve programs, carry out financing for urgent needs, including providing housing, for the reconstruction of some houses, if these budgets. have such funds, that is why it is extremely important and acute to ensure that local budgets are capable in the future and in the next year, and this is relevant today, because the budget process is ongoing, and the association of cities

of ukraine advocates such important issues that relate to the filling of local budgets and in relation to pdpo, and in relation to other sources of income. well, as we know, the communities say that they often do not have enough money for reconstruction, and then they do not refuse any proposals from other countries to join. like for example in lviv, when there was a rocket attack, when several houses were damaged, and the minister, the prime minister of poland, donald tusk, offered to help, but he offered to help with reconstruction, he said that they will choose some houses that they will rebuild , it is clear that the rest houses, this will already be the responsibility of the city budget, and these are large sums, these are very significant sums, and of course there are state programs that are planned in the state budget for 2025, but these amounts, although they sound like very significant, are there is up to

a billion hryvnias for the coupe and home programs, which provide for the restoration of damaged and destroyed housing, specifically for residential objects, but if we are talking about the need for more than 3 trillion, then this is as of the end of the 23rd year, we understand that such losses have increased significantly over the current one. year, then we understand that these funds will not be enough, other sources, other resources are also needed. how is it determined which object should be rebuilt first, whether to tackle a bridge or a road or a school. it is to this that the territorial community recovery plan should respond, as the document on which it should be based. in addition, of course, there are some sectoral priorities at the level of the ministries, where they determine for themselves which objects are more

important, but first of all, a plan for the recovery of the territorial community must be drawn up, where the priority of such must be determined objects and that in the first place there should be restoration, but also territorial communities are still waiting for approval at the central level of the list of restoration territories. after all, the criteria for determining such areas were approved in the 23rd year, then these criteria underwent some changes, now we are still waiting for the list of restoration areas to be officially approved at the level of a government decision, and the speed of development of restoration plans also depends on this, challenges this cool off not these plans, yes, money, but not only that, because in us, as we saw in the plot, and what

the builders say, we are starting the restoration process, and again somewhere it can fly nearby, and this is also a challenge, and, besides, mostly men work on the objects, on restoration, because it is hard work , and men are primarily needed at the front, what challenges do cities actually face and... is the country waiting for in the process of reconstruction? in general, such challenges are mostly connected with the armed aggression itself, with the destruction of the infrastructure, but not exclusively, because the infrastructure was inadequate even before of armed aggression, i mean outdated equipment, outdated production, non -inclusive infrastructure somewhere in some institutions. it also needs updating, needs special approaches, in addition, today there are

certain new regulations, new requirements for various infrastructure facilities, and this must be taken into account during reconstruction. other challenges are, of course, the damage caused to nature, caused to the nature reserve fund, destroyed burned forests, which increased. greenhouse gas emissions very much, we have very much the impact on ecology due to armed aggression, very significant challenges also concern the migration of the population, internal displacement and the departure of our citizens abroad, we understand that communities will be restored when there is a population in these communities, not when, but in the event that the population can return , and it must be interconnected. processes, therefore we also expect the adoption at the state level of the state demographic strategy, which

will determine some tasks, measures that will be implemented in order to return citizens to communities, maybe there will be some community support programs in the field of supporting people, we also have very significant educational losses, due to the fact that it has been a very long time. students learn remotely, the quality of education has decreased, many do not have the opportunity to study at all, those and the subvention that was provided for... providing shelters in educational institutions, it was in the 22nd year, it was in the 23rd year and in in the 24th to the 25th year, unfortunately, funds are not provided for the arrangement of shelters in educational institutions, and the need is still, still there in educational institutions in order to arrange there are safe conditions for students, such challenges

are needed by the state. politicians, i also wanted to ask you about roads and bridges, because sometimes people say where and what roads are not in time, there would be a roof over your head, but is it in time, how is it in time, and why is this, why is it still it is important, first of all, the road provides an opportunity to provide humanitarian aid, to provide some urgent support, in some cases this. population, because we understand that there are such front-line communities that are very close to the front line, and it is necessary to be able to evacuate citizens, of course, this is the organization and provision of the defense of those settlements that are nearby, very close to the front line. what is the number of

damaged bridges and roads that are needed now? recovery, which is in general about 20%, more than 20%, of all the losses that there are, and it is about 37 billion us dollars, as of the end of the 23rd year, so according to this rapid assessment prepared jointly by international institutions and the government of ukraine , which were made at the end of the 23rd year. we operate with such data, new ones for now we don't have how much time, or is there any understanding, is needed to restore all the roads and all the bridges? unfortunately, this cannot be said for sure, as it depends on many factors and on the amount of funding, on how quickly

these funds will be provided, and how efficiently all procedures will be carried out. how much labor will be enough for construction, but, as you already mentioned, there are certain problems with the fact that a lot of workers and materials are needed, it is also necessary to organize and find such resources, not only financial, as well as human, material and technical, and others. ms. tatyana, thank you for the conversation, thank you for these numbers. and for explaining where and what challenges we face in the process of rebuilding the country. tetyana melnyk, an expert on municipal infrastructure restoration of the association of cities of ukraine, was our guest today. i'll remind you that you watched a special edition of the urban reconstruction and development program. thank you for being with us, my name is lesya vakulyuk and

current judges for their suitability for positions. the servants of themis continue to amaze with wealth, which cannot be explained by income to professional incompetence. today we will tell you about those whom vkks has already weeded out. but first to the news. state bureau. concluded the pre-trial investigation of the case of the judge of the economic court of the dnipropetrovsk region, eduard bondarev, who is suspected of kidnapping his business partner. according to the version of the investigation, the judge started farming in 2017, and since he is not allowed to do so by law, he found a fake person, on whom a part of the business in sumy region was registered. later, the judge decided to remove the partner from the cases, blackmailing him with a million dollar loan. however , the man did not want to... leave the company without payment. then, according to the investigation, the suspect ordered the kidnapping of his partner for $17. the man was to be deprived of his freedom and forced to sign the necessary documents for

the transfer of ownership of the farm's property. the judges informed about the suspicion of organizing a completed kidnapping attempt person and deprivation of liberty. soon the case will be considered by the court. eduard bondarev faces up to five years in prison. the security service of ukraine appealed to the supreme council of justice and asks to punish the judge of the brovary city district court, volodymyr serdynskyi, who is accused of receiving $4,000 in illegal profits, and the judge is also suspected of forging documents for a cruise to the caribbean. from the decision of the second disciplinary chamber of the vrp. the complainant asks to bring the judge of the brovary district court serdynskyi of the kyiv region to disciplinary responsibility for engaging in behavior that discredits the title of a judge or undermines the authority of justice, in particular in issues. morality, honesty, incorruptibility, compliance with the judge's lifestyle, his status, compliance with other norms of judicial ethics and standards of conduct that ensure public trust in the court. earlier,

the security service of ukraine informed the judge of the brovary city district court, volodymyr serdynskyi, about the suspicion of forgery of documents and fraud. in the summer of the 23rd year he allegedly used a forged letter of invitation to participate in a conference on assistance to displaced persons, families with children and orphans. from ukraine to the eu, in order to illegally travel abroad with his roommate. during martial law, the judge went on vacation on a cruise ship in the caribbean. to do this, the servant of themis, in collusion with a familiar lawyer, forged an invitation to a conference in austria. on the basis of this forgery, the court issued him a business trip abroad. national last year the anti-corruption bureau arrested volodymyr serdynskyi in... the usa, the judge allegedly received an illegal benefit from a representative of one of the parties in a civil case for making a decision in her interests. during

the search, $15,600 was seized from the judge, packaged in different envelopes. the higher qualification commission of judges continues to evaluate the current themis employees for their suitability for the positions they hold. qualifications are not being confirmed as quickly as desired. the public integrity council and experts conduct a titanic work on the investigation of judicial integrity and the identification of dubious assets. members of the qualifying commission need a lot of time to analyze all the information. in turn, the judges themselves try to delay the possible release even more, ignore interviews, suddenly fall ill and invent very original ways to hinder the process. 10 months after the beginning of the qualification assessment, the commission held a meeting. of 172 judges out of nearly 2,000, 27 were dismissed, while 43 were recognized by the foundation's public integrity and analytics board

unscrupulous vkk remained in their posts. last week, the judge of the rivne district administrative court, andrii salo, underwent a qualification assessment. i am constantly engaged in self-development and try to maintain my qualification elbow. andriy salo is known for his anti-european stance. he supported the appeal of judges' associations, which demanded the president to promise the law on the reform of the supreme council of justice, in particular through the involvement of international experts in the ethics council. in particular, the judges stressed that the reformation of the vrp threatens the sovereignty of ukraine, as it contains instruments of influence of foreign states. i cannot know what the threats to national security have manifested or seen in general. it would be more appropriate for our national state authorities to be formed by our specialists and experts, that would be more correct. we did not see the participation of international experts as appropriate and did not see such an example in other

european countries. to the property of andriy sal and his family at the public integrity council and the high qualification commission of judges as well many questions. for example, the judge's parents were able to purchase a bmw x5, real estate with a total area of ​​about 3,000 square meters, and an apartment in lviv for over a million hryvnias, which the judge himself uses. while their total income for 10 years, according to the public council of virtue, was less than uah 500,000. the judge convinces. rd allegedly did not take into account all income. parents led a thrifty, reasonable lifestyle, married since 1984, all savings, own funds, funds withdrawn from personal peasant farm, which is not farm, i would like to draw the attention of the commission members , and is not taxable. all the property, everything they, they had, what they earned, what was saved, everything, in my opinion, was reasonable and... er

used, acquired and corresponds to their income. according to the public integrity council, the judge used bmw and mercedes cars for years and did not indicate this in his declarations. moreover, the servant of themis systematically violated traffic rules, he was detained several times for allegedly drunk driving, but the court closed these cases for formal reasons or upon expiration of the statute of limitations. the judge decided to keep silent about these facts in the declaration to. first of all, according to the first form of the declaration of integrity, in that period of time there was a different interpretation regarding the information that was to be reflected in this information in this declaration. in general, there was an opinion among the subjects of the declaration that the information should be displayed there, which is precisely related to prosecution for acts related to corruption. it was the acts that were committed, but after regular

interviews there, i followed them at that time, i realized that it is probably more appropriate to display such information even in traffic violation reports . in 2018, andriy salo tried to become a judge of the higher anti-corruption court, but he was found unscrupulous. it was decided that the candidate for the position of judge of the higher anti-corruption court of the village andriy bogtanovych did not stop participating in... the petition, as the commission found his non-compliance with the criteria of professional ethics and integrity at a joint meeting of the public council of international experts. this time, the higher quorum commission announced a break before making a final decision on andrii sal's suitability for the position and is waiting for additional documents and explanations from him. the higher qualifications commission of judges of ukraine dismissed the judge of the avdiyiv city court of the donetsk region, olena panchenko. in 2011

, when... she had worked as a judge for only a year, she was bribed with $600 for reducing the defendant's sentence. the higher quorum commission then removed the judge from his position, but did not dismiss him. the kuibyshiv district court of donetsk sentenced panchenko to five years deprivation of liberty with exemption from serving a sentence with probation for 3 years and confiscation of property. panchenko appealed the verdict, but the appeal was not considered due to the seizure of the military court building. in the russian federation, accordingly, the verdict never entered into force. i was inconvenient to the local government, in my opinion, and i applied to take an administrative position in this court, is that your inner conviction, of course? i believe that this became the basis for artificially creating such a criminal case. it is also known that in her scientific article olena panchenko...
