Representative of the Verkhovna Rada Renat Kuzmin stated this lawyers appealed against the decision of the Kiev court to extend the arrest of Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the political council of the Ukrainian party Opposition Platform – for life.
The court had previously extended the investigation into the Medvedchuk case by six months. It is specified that the decision was made without the presence of lawyers and the accused himself. The result was an extension of the term of house arrest until September 7.
“The Defense Party has called for an extension of the house arrest term. Will judges now be able to make a legal and fair decision? This process promises to be interesting, “Kuzmin wrote on social networks.
Let us recall that Medvedchuk is suspected of treason and embezzlement of national resources in the Crimea. He was placed under house arrest, ordered to wear an electronic bracelet and hand in his passports so he could travel abroad. Medvedchuk himself refutes all accusations against him and connects them with political persecution.

The elite international rescue team “Centrospas” was amazed by the wave of redundancies.

In 1992, a rescue team of “universal soldiers” appeared at the Ministry of Emergency Situations. It was created from professionals at the highest level. Thanks to his specialists, tens of thousands of lives were saved, both in Russia and abroad.
Experienced employees are now being broadcast on the street, as the “MK” said. At best, of their own free will, and someone completely officially. By September 2021, it is planned to reorganize the department itself from a state-owned enterprise to a budget one.
A letter from Andrei Gurevich, Deputy Head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, to Yevgeny Zinichev, head of the department, dated 20 May 2021, to which Izvestia refers, states that a number of paid services will be provided to enable the company to earn 74 million rubles a year. This change will significantly expand the activities of the company “Centrospas” and improve the material-technical and training base of the department, wrote the deputy head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
According to the document, rescuers will also be able to provide commercial services. For example, to participate in medical and sanitary evacuation, medical escort of patients, research of potentially dangerous underwater facilities, maintenance of dangerous industrial facilities, engage in further training, accompany tourists and ensure the safety of cultural events for a fee. Commercialization has also forced many professionals to leave the team. For most truly dedicated specialists, saving money for money is against the idea of a professional and simply human duty.
Yesterday, July 12, after this information appeared in the media, Centrospas arrived on a commission from the headquarters of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Up to two deputy ministers – Andrei Gurevich and Viktor Yatsutsenko.
As the “MK” sources said, subject to anonymity, important guests did not warn anyone in advance about their visit. In this context, except for a shift in the service, no one in the unit met. I had to wait for at least part of the staff to gather. The outcome of the meeting was not reassuring for most employees. The management from Glavka made it clear from the first minutes that it did not question the personnel decision of the new leader “at the top”.
“We are keeping up with the times, changes cannot be avoided, they are needed,” explained senior officials of the forthcoming reorganization.
The members of the commission also called for “not to wash dirty laundry in public” and to send all requests and wishes directly to the Main Department.
“And we will consider and decide”, – quotes a source expressed at the meeting.
