ADONIS Medical Group’s private higher education institution has begun recruiting for its residency program

The ADONIS Medical Group’s private higher education institution (PHEI) has begun recruiting for its residency program. As Lilia Ponamaryova, ADONIS’s Vice Rector for Strategic Development, told Interfax-Ukraine, the residency program is conducted at ADONIS’s modern medical centers, which are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment.

As part of the new recruitment drive, training programs are now available in the following specialties: surgery, neurology, otorhinolaryngology, dermatology and venereology, orthopedics and traumatology, general practice—family medicine, obstetrics, and gynecology.

Interns will work under the supervision of experienced physicians who serve as mentors and impart practical skills and clinical experience.

“We eagerly await new interns who are eager to develop, learn, and work in modern medicine. ADONIS creates all the conditions for professional growth and the start of a successful medical career,” said Ponamaryova.

She noted that the institute already has a successful track record of training interns, and a systematic training model has been developed at the university that combines theory, clinical reasoning, and real-world practice.

ADONIS emphasizes that the residency program is focused on training doctors who work according to the principles of evidence-based medicine, confidently make clinical decisions, and are ready to work with patients from the very first years of their professional careers.

“Our goal is not simply to produce a certified specialist, but a doctor who thinks critically, analyzes, and takes responsibility for clinical decisions. That is why interns are fully engaged in practical work and learn directly in a clinical setting. A high-quality internship is a key stage in a doctor’s development, and we continue to refine our training programs in line with modern medical standards and the needs of the healthcare system,” said Ponamaryova.

The private higher education institution “Institute of General Practice – Family Medicine” was established in 2007 by the ADONIS medical group to train specialists who will receive a state-recognized diploma in the field of specialized and general medical practice. The institution holds a valid license for medical practice.

Founded in 1997, Adonis is a multidisciplinary medical center for adults and children. The medical group includes seven modern clinics in Kyiv and the region, over 80 medical specialties, its own laboratories, surgical centers, inpatient facilities, and departments staffed by specialized professionals.

“Ukrainian Bacon” Suffered Losses and Will Forgo Dividends for 2025

PJSC “Ukrainian Bacon” (Kostiantynivka, Donetsk Oblast) reported losses for 2025, which it plans to cover using future profits, the company announced in the disclosure system of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission (NSSMC).

The draft resolution of the general meeting of shareholders, scheduled for April 30, 2026, provides for the waiver of the accrual and payment of dividends for the past year.

Shareholders are being asked to approve the director’s report on the results of operations in 2025, recognizing them as satisfactory, as well as to approve measures to improve the company’s financial condition.

Achieving profitability has been identified as the priority for 2026.

In addition, the agenda includes a motion to remove Maksym Pysarev and Dmytro Makhota from the Unified State Register (USR) as persons authorized to act on behalf of the company without a power of attorney.

According to data from the OpenDataBot service, the revenue of PJSC “Ukrainian Bacon” in 2025 fell by 79.5% compared to the previous year—to 95.84 million UAH. The net loss amounted to UAH 107.39 million, compared to a profit of UAH 147.11 million in 2024. Thus, the negative trend in net income reached 173% (a decrease of UAH 254.5 million). The value of assets decreased by 45% to UAH 568.09 million, while total liabilities decreased by 33.3% to UAH 713.3 million. The company’s authorized capital is UAH 1.0005 million.

PJSC “Ukrainian Bacon” was founded in 2008. It produces meat products under the “Bashchynsky” and ‘Europroduct’ trademarks, as well as under the “Nasha Ryaba” brand and a number of private labels (“Auchan,” METRO, etc.).

Since October 2021, the company has been part of Yuriy Kosyuk’s MHP agricultural holding. Previously, the owner was PJSC “Myronivsky Hliboproduct.” During this period, there was a change in leadership from long-time director Mykhailo Bashchynskyi to Olena Reznik, and later to Dmytro Makhota. Since November 2025, Oleksii Nosov has held the position of director.

Production facilities are located in the Kramatorsk district of Donetsk Oblast. Due to military operations, the plant’s operations have effectively ceased: while the workforce numbered over 1,900 people in 2021, by the end of 2025, the number of employees had dropped to 2.

Ukraine Should Establish Training Center for Its Experts at International Criminal Court — Expert

Ukraine should establish a training center for its own experts at the International Criminal Court (ICC), according to Oleksiy Shevchuk, a partner at Barristers LLC.

“Ukraine must provide systematic expertise and professionals capable of working effectively within the ICC’s structure. Ukraine should establish a training center for experts to work in international judicial bodies, primarily the ICC, as international criminal law will be one of the defining areas of 21st-century politics,” he told Interfax-Ukraine.

As Shevchuk noted, the ICC currently needs a wide range of experts who can support its operations.

“There are positions for OSINT coordinators, language analysts, financial experts, evidence management specialists, and even cyber intelligence specialists. The Court is a massive organization. And for it to function, dozens of highly qualified specialists in various fields are needed. Unfortunately, there are very few such people in Ukraine. If we can find 10 people ready to start working in The Hague tomorrow—that would be an optimistic forecast,” he said.

At the same time, Shevchuk noted that Ukraine has a strong tradition of ECHR practice, but the ICC is a different world; it has a different procedural logic, a different role for evidence, and a different mechanism for gathering information.

“The Court requires practical skills in international criminal proceedings, an understanding of military operations, and language proficiency at the level of technical translation of international terminology. It is a highly specialized environment,” he added.

Commenting on steps toward establishing a training center for ICC specialists, Shevchuk said that such a center should have several areas of focus: a program for training practicing lawyers (investigators, prosecutors, attorneys), a program for training technical and analytical staff (OSINT specialists, evidence managers, translators, data auditors, etc.), and a program for language and ethics training adapted to The Hague standards.

“We have a strong academic base in Ukraine, but researchers also need a team capable of integrating into the court’s practical work tomorrow. Canada established the Canadian Centre for International Justice, which trains lawyers and analysts specifically for international tribunals. Ukraine needs something similar—a partnership between universities, government agencies, and the ICC itself. This could be a joint initiative of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, academic institutions, and civil society organizations,” said Shevchuk.

“In the coming decades, the focus will definitely shift toward The Hague—and Ukraine needs real experts, not just symbolic ones. This is not a matter of prestige, but of competence: either we train our own specialists, or others will do it for us,” the lawyer concluded.
