expects that the ukrainian authorities will fully take into account the recommendations of the venice commissionthe law on the constitutional court. about this in the comments the spokeswoman of the european commission, anna, told the public that the reform of the constitutional court is one of the seven points that ukraine must fulfill in order to join the eu, and this law was supposed to guarantee the independence of the constitutional court . what happened instead? on december 13, the people's deputies voted for a bill on improving the procedure for selecting candidates for the position of judges of the constitutional court even before this vote, experts in the field of judicial reform called on the deputies not to vote on the document in the version in which it was prepared, as experts had warned the wording does not envisage an independent constitutional court, rather the opposite, but the deputies did vote, less than a week has passed since the venice commission published an updated opinion on the draft law and recommended changing it and returning to the wording that was emphasized by exp

representatives of the power of the president of the verkhovna rada and judges from its court, which the venice commission itself calls direct the threat of politicization of the process, despite the fact that the independent selection commission itself is introduced in order to depoliticize the process, an essential point in accordance with the laws by the way of the group of experts in this way, future constitutional judges will be elected by the generation of representatives of the so-called system, these are also people who grew professionally and were formed during the times of the ussr. moreover, the decision of the council group is not mandatory at all, so the parliament, the president and the congress referees will continue to be able to appoint dox manual referees, this matches the position, this match matches the position, this is more appropriate for the position, the son, in fact, well, the whole idea of ​​an independent commission that can meet for which you can spend a lot of energy er and whatever, but well, it won’t make any sense if er, in fact, political bodies can appoint anyone , recen

representatives of the power of the president of the verkhovna rada and the congress of judges, which the venice commissionlection commission itself is being introduced in order to depoliticize the process, an essential point according to the draft law, by the members of the group of experts. thus, future constitutional judges will be chosen by the generation of representatives of the so-called system, this is also people who professionally grew and were formed during the times of the ussr, by the way, the decisions of the groups are not mandatory at all, so the parliament, the president and the congress referees will continue to be able to appoint manual referees to the ax. - in fact, political bodies will be able to appoint anyone recently, the ambassadors of the g7 countries once again emphasized that judicial reform, key to the new selection procedure for the constitutional court of ukraine , remains a key priority and should be agreed with the recommendations of the venice commission and, in turn, in its conclusions on the draft law on the advisory group from the competition for the position of judge

appeared from under the hands of the president and and there was an updated conclusion of the venice commissiond important points that were not taken into account by the deputies of the verkhovna rada during the work on document number 76 62. in the new conclusion, they pointed out two important points to the advisory group of experts that will check the candidates for the ksu, it is necessary to include another seventh member of independent international experts, you may remember when we created the ethical e-e council e-e, in particular, which is currently dealing with candidates for positions in the supreme council of justice, for example, this issue will be relevant already at the beginning of january, and we are talking about exactly seven members, and an odd number provides the right to a decisive vote, just as it is for an internationalist who is competent and who is interested in the fact that ukraine was the judicial system is really high-quality and equidistant from everyone. well, the anti-corruption center explains that the adopted law provides for six members, three independent exp

it is very difficult to talk about it . he did not maintain a dialogue with the venice commission withope of the european union there, the gambus was huge and the problem is that, on the one hand, we were very much asked to pass the bill faster and push this story further, but the final conclusion of the venice commission was already after we voted on this whole story after a huge number of negotiations , agreements, rewriting of articles, etc. and in fact, you cannot say that this draft law in the form that it is now, that it is a direct seizure of control, there is a competitive a three-on-three commission there, you can simply reach a deadlock situation, what is called when it will be possible to appoint a person if the trivisors are against, but i'm sorry, if we reached a situation where the authorizers are against, then it still means a bad candidate. i think that from the point of view of reputation, it is unlikely whether the president or the verkhovna rada is interested, well , judges are a separate story, but less so recommendations were made after the adoption of the law , a

the venice commission changed very clearly on monday. and you changed everything on saturday . on monday, it published its opinion , in which it insists very clearly that there should be a seventh independent member. in the case of a 3x3 distribution of votes, which is very likely and er well, accordingly, the choice would be and the process would not be political, because the candidates could win even without er political votes, and the second most important thing is that the decision of this commission must be, because today the text of the law stipulates that even a candidate who receives an evaluation of inappropriate criteria can be appointed a judge of the constitutional court, well, such a person can be appointed to him, for example, just for understanding, if even the commission says 10 times that he does not meet the criteria, it is still his can appoint therefore, it is very threatening, it does not meet our obligations, and it most importantly endangers european integration, because in fact, it is not the e-e form of the ksu that is number one and it is precisely the

expects that the ukrainian authorities will fully take into account the recommendations of the venice commissionw law on the constitutional court, the public spokeswoman of the european commission expressed this hope . and on pisonero , the law adopted in december provides that judges will be selected by a special commission of six people, three international experts and one representative from the president of the parliament and of the congress of judges, human rights defenders believe that this creates risks of usurpation of judicial power, because if all international experts vote against the ukrainian candidate, then the first ones will not will have the majority of votes and the presence of a seventh independent member of the commission, the law does not provide for what the venice commission actually recommends to correct now, let me remind you that the reform of the constitutional court is one of the seven steps that ukraine must take in order to join the european union. the european commission expects that the ukrainian authorities will fully take into account the recommendations of the

but no extraordinary rush to sign president of this law well, moreover, i will say that the venice commissionrified its conclusion and clearly said that the commission should consist of seven members in order to prevent such an effect when 3x3 and it is impossible to make any decision at all, so they clearly said that there should be a seventh member and it should be independent a member of this commission, but even with this conclusion, the president signed the draft law, what is the problem, the problem is that there is a law that is not a reform and this law is a requirement of european integration to ukraine, now we are waiting and we as the public actually we call publicly, including the european union, to express its position on this matter, we believe that actually a-a should make changes , taking into account the conclusion of the commission, they have already been clarified and really demonstrate that we really want to reform the constitutional here, well, we all remember what e- decisions that are harmful to the country can be made by a politically controlled constitutional court, t

expects that the ukrainian authorities will fully take into account the recommendations of the venice commissioned after the adoption of the law on december 19, including an increase in the number of members of this commission to seven, an additional member must be married to a national quota to prevent a state of emergency in decision-making, so that the international an additional member is very important, we will cheer for it. i think the changes will pass in the parliament. well, our energy department says that it will take from seven up to 10 days, they were also quoted by prime minister denys shmyhal. well, if there is a complete blackout, it will take 7 to 10 days to get out of it. these are preliminary calculations. well, because no one in the world has experienced such a thing yet, we will ask ivan plachkov for details - he is the minister of energy in the 1999th year from the fifth to the sixth chairman of the board of the union of the all-ukrainian energy assembly mr. ivane we congratulate you good afternoon, can you hear us ivan plachkov, here we hear you as and how do you evaluate t

state of war, we did not understand there, did we not immediately understand the decision of the venice commissionw it's just frank. the authorities tell the european commission you know that we even hear what you tell us, but take us, we believe that we have fulfilled everything well, i will repeat it again, it is absurd and it hurts us a lot because it is our enemies and it is our enemies within the eu itself, there are such countries, we know them very well, it is being used very actively now in order to slow down the tension towards the european union and in every way to us to harm, including from them, the enemy's testatories. and to reduce our aid, do you know the people who voted for this draft law, do they say so? well, why don't we decide who will be in the constitutional court, that now everything must be decided for us, that means the european partners . now they have to sit in all the offices and decide everything, no , but on the other hand, it’s like you then submit an application to the european union . european integration is therefore not included in integration, but the mechanism

resigned in full to talk about the existence of justice in ukraine we cannot afford then the venice commissionzed that the reason for the decision was the political dependence of the judges and therefore the procedure their selection should become independent and more transparent, the issue is undoubtedly very difficult, this is not the first attempt to reform the constitutional court, the procedure for appointing constitutional judges, all previous attempts, unfortunately, did not agree with the venice commission, all the previous draft laws that arose were far from real life , so time passed. and the reform stalled until the summer of 2022. then, with the status of a candidate for joining the european union, ukraine received seven recommendations for implementation and the first among them the reform of the constitutional court on the fact that the process of selecting judges should be independent and based on integrity and professional skills, the group reminded days after the dismissal of three judges from the ksu seven j7 took into account the resignation of three judges of the constituti

president signed, and at the same time, without waiting not only for the final conclusion of the venice commissiont also for the position of our european colleagues there will be a selection of the european commission, which has never happened before. this is already a significant step forward , but the commission that will be selected consists of three independent experts who are nominated by international partners together and three political ones, that is, represented by the president of ukraine, the cabinet of ministers and a congress of judges. unfortunately we can simply 100% predict that three from ukraine yes , that is, they will be politically dependent on the branches of government and yes they will not be able to appoint tupytsky, but in fact they will not be able to to appoint someone independent, because in order to be independent professionally, because in order to appoint, you need an overwhelming majority, that is, at least one vote from the government, and we have a multifaceted situation where only a narrow majority gets into the constitutional court. the government can agree . a

valentina tolychenko to explain, while we are attaching it, i would like to remind you that the venice commissionone as we call it , recommended to change the european integration bill on the constitutional court of ukraine and to take into account the wording which is supported by the experts of this same mizyan commission the commission published an updated opinion on this draft law on improving the procedure for selecting candidates for the position of judge of the constitutional court, the adoption of which is one of the key requirements for the start of negotiations on membership is actually ours, that is, ukraine's membership in the european union. well, the conclusion. they were just quoted by the de jure foundation, they clearly indicate that please take into account these changes, but they were not taken into account for some reason. we will ask valentina tylichenko. please tell us if we we already have well, for now, we are waiting for an event, news, a video on musk, i will read elon musk adheres to the results of a survey in which twitter users, which he just acquired, voted for his r

this edition was criticized by public experts and it contradicts the updated conclusion of the venice commission, the dispute arose due to the number of members of the advisory group of experts they recommend candidates for judges by law, there are six of them, and this can become a problem during voting ukraine received a $2 billion grant from the united states, the money is already in the state budget, minister of finance serhii marchenko said, the funds came through the world bank's trust fund as part of the project, support for public expenditures to ensure sustainable public administration in ukraine in general, it is through this mechanism that ukraine will receive 4.5 billion dollars, the money will go to pay pensions and salaries to employees of the target protection and payment of medical services, an explosion of gifts in poland, the deputy head of the state emergency service of ukraine, dmytro bondar, was suspended from work. this was reported by the minister of internal affairs of poland, mariusz kaminsky . of a tank grenade launcher, two people were injured in europe , natural gas p

these changes in our country are becoming ukraine, it contradicts the recommendations of the venice commissionch a rush, well, it is unknown, it is not known what the motives were, let's move on now for the 24th, andriy demchenko, the spokesman of the state border service of ukraine, is in touch with us . andriy, congratulations, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, glory to the border, when we talk about it, you are interested in the northern direction, the level of the military threat from belarus may increase, but the ukrainian forces are monitoring the situation take appropriate measures, what does our border with this equally aggressive country look like now, well, actually, first of all, i will note that the situation directly along the border line and in the border areas they remain fully controlled, we do not note eh for now moment and it also happened during the sudden inspection or readiness of the units of the republic of belarus, which they mentioned and which lasted for the last time some movement of military equipment or manpower near our border or a sharp increase in these for

government and three e-e experts from various international organizations , including from the venice commissionthout their positive conclusion that no person will be able to apply for the position of judge of the constitutional court that is, this group will determine whether this person is worthy or virtuous enough, etc. and claims to the law from the side of e and certain international organizations and the public a-a in that these are a certain equality, i.e. 3 * 3 e-e and they demand that there be something more a-a international experts in this group, for example four, so that they have a decisive say in the formation of the constitutional court. well, what they talked about this week is what they talked about this week everywhere , the scandalously liquidated district administrative court of the city of kyiv the verkhovna rada adopted the presidential law president zelenskyi has already signed it why exactly this court is such a remarkable district administrative court of kyiv actually became such a meme because it is connected with a lot of scandalous and ambiguous decisions, for example

ukraine will change the law on the constitutional court in accordance with the conclusions of the venice commission, why is the ukrainian government taking risks ukraine's membership in the eu has passed what is known to be a controversial law, see svoboda life greetings to all veterans svoboda curse my name is vlasta lazur we are starting russia strives negotiations with ukraine not to end the war , but to gain time to prepare for a new offensive against ukraine. this was stated by nato secretary general jenn stoltenberg. russia hopes to freeze the war in order to have time to regroup troops, rearm forces and try to renew the offensive. now there are no signs that putin really wants peace. stoltenberg in his column for the fainen scholl times stoltenberg also reminded that russia has mobilized about 200,000 people in recent months and the events on the battlefield show that the russian leadership does not count on losses in parallel with moscow is trying to agree on weapons and ammunition with other authoritarian allies , first of all with iran, despite the fact that vladimir putin himself said th

constitutional court, we understand that we went somewhat against the recommendations of the venice commissiono to speak , an extremely large public debate is unfolding both in ukraine and outside of ukraine. andriy, let's go. first, i'll reflect, i'll make a remark in depth, and then you'll comment what you just said if they are against it is not against look at georgia to understand what is happening there, why is saakashvili still sitting there, you need to understand that nothing depends on the georgian government there, in fact saakashvili is putin's hostage and in fact, on putin's instructions, he is being held in prison and it is necessary to solve this issue directly with the head of the tourist group called the russian empire, and he waited for him for a long time, he chased him for a long time, and a year ago he caught him after all and put him in prison railway and took revenge for 2000 years, we are moving to venice, what about our cases of the constitutional court, well, this scandal can be huge at the european level, there will not be any scandal there, see as far as i understand

president of the verkhovna rada, the congress of judges of the council of judges of ukraine, the venice commissionrnational foreign organizations, which provide assistance to ukraine in the field of the rule of law or combating corruption, and it is a foolish group of experts who will form a list of candidates who can be appointed to the positions of judges of the ksu object formation subjects of formation i'm sorry to the constitutional a-a court to appeal the decision to the advisory group will be in the supreme court in any case this bill was called european integration , but the public sector does not agree with this assessment, in particular mykhailo zhornakov, the chairman of the board of the de jure foundation notes that it is about about the possibility of politicizing the constitutional court of ukraine it is possible even to usurp the power in our country , but this assessment is also possible, i would like to add that, by a strange coincidence, as many as three the judges of the constitutional court wrote their resignations almost at the same time, they could still work for the good of

the reform of the constitutional court is actually using and manipulating the opinion of the venice commissionthorities are now trying to excuse me, the worst version of the law on the reform of the constitutional court, which is not actually any reform, but preserves or even strengthens political influence on the appointment of judges of the constitutional court, and now it has become known that three judges have submitted their resignations at once, this is actually an opportunity for the authorities to bring their own judges there if this bill adopted er as planned in the near future without er having a commission that selects judges of the constitutional court the decisive vote of international experts or a seventh member who would lean to the side let's say the integrity of the objective selection, the selection, and not the selection of the political one. unfortunately, so far, the ukrainian authorities stand very firmly in negotiations with our international partners and say that there should not be any decisive vote, and it should actually control everything. the entire process was cho

we were questionable decisions of the constitutional court, which were even criticized by the venice commissionan independent competition should be held, and according to its results , already independent candidates for this position should be proposed as the subject of appointment, but there are questions in particular to that the configuration of the competition commission was approved by the parliament today, so that three people will be politically appointed and three people will be independent experts, and here, of course, under such circumstances, there is a big risk that the decision and well there will be some pressure on the process, there will be a blocking of the process of appointment to positions in the constitutional court, it is independent candidates, yes. in other words, there will be delays, as happened with the competition for the head of the sap, and so on. the european union and this issue, that is, there are comments and problems, and well, to call the work of the deputies here absolutely adequate, er, ideal, well, it is very difficult , but so far, so far, the european in

speaks for itself, stepan. e ksu from the ksu, taking into account the recommendations of the venice commissionere, what does it mean, what is waiting, or should we have already submitted them and done, then we should have adopted the law in the version that corresponds to the recommendations of the pension unfortunately for the commission, the parliament was a little cunning because it considered these recommendations as it wanted to read them to the deputies, the president quickly signed the law even after the russian commission issued a clarifying opinion in which they emphasized the two things that need to be changed, namely two problems that is now in the bill that was passed that has already entered into force, this is what is supposed to be an independent commission that will check candidates for the constitutional court, which decisions are optional, that is, appointing subjects can appoint in of the constitutional court of persons whom this commission recognized as not meeting the requirements of the law. this is the first. and the second is that the composition of this commission is p

ago, and the status of the ukrainian language as the state language caused alarm even to the venice commissionhe council of europe. and in the european union, they also expressed concerns in the osce, but the maximum that these respected institutions could do then, and so to speak, to ukrainians. well good in this law. leave, but er then update in some way, er, the existing legislation of national minorities. it was about two years ago, probably, and just a couple of weeks ago, the supreme the rada passed the law on national minorities in the second reading. this is an example of ukrainian lawmaking. it says that the ukrainian state guarantees the rights of all national minorities to the extent that follows from the current legislation. that is, everything that has already been destroyed the formation of mass media culture and much more. and all this is now in the new law, it is recognized with minorities as the basis of the rights that kiev, the kiev regime is ready to give to the national minority already romanian the leadership got excited became loud. talking about the need for consultatio
