⚡️ Powerful news from the “institutional leaders” or A new hit in the genre of “pretending to do something”
Remember the photo where officials, with savior-of-the-universe faces, cut the ribbon at the opening of yet another courthouse? It seems the hate forced their PR teams to take a radical step — change the angle. Now trending is “demonstratively poking a pen into a paper on camera” ✍️📸.
Immediately five powerful heads of the judicial system ceremonially signed... drum roll... a Memorandum on piloting mediation. They promise to tell people in the first 1000 cases for free that you don’t have to fight, you can reach an agreement. Just wisdom on a state scale.

And now let’s take off the rose-colored glasses
❌ Our top officials have once again invented a wheel without spokes. They believe mediation isn’t developing only because Head of the HJC Hryhoriy Usyk and head of the SJA Pampura haven’t yet been photographed with a pen.
What does the facilities manager have to do with mediation?? We think he brought the pens for the photo.
It turns out that in the civilized world people settle without going to court not because of a top-down “culture of dialogue” or a memorandum of “powerful potentates.” They do it because going to court is devilishly expensive!💵
☕️While in Ukraine the court fee costs as much as three cups of coffee, and proceedings can be dragged out for decades, no plaintiff will go to a mediator. Why compromise if you can torment your opponent’s nerves in court almost for free? Mediation will take off on its own when people understand with their wallets: settling upstream is cheaper.
❓But why use logic? It’s much easier to make a “powerful” face on camera and check a box in the next grant report. Well, at least thanks for the change of angle — now we can see what kinds of pens emptiness signs with. 😉
📸I wonder how many photo sessions this pilot project will endure before it dies a natural death?
