Disciplinary liability of judges: consequences

I saw news that more than 100 judges were brought to disciplinary responsibility by decision of the High Council of Justice, and there were even cases of temporary suspension and submission for dismissal. If, for example, a judge was dismissed due to disciplinary proceedings, can he or she return to work in the judicial system or hold other public offices in the future, or does this forever put an end to a judicial career?

Hello!

Hello! I have a labor dispute with my employer. 1. Sick leaves: I officially took several sick leaves: first for myself, then for childcare, then again for myself. After that, I returned to work for a week, then took 3 days off unpaid, and got sick again. My boss called and said that she was "fed up with my sick leaves" and threatened that either I return to work from tomorrow, or "they might insist on my dismissal." I had to return to work and not extend my sick leave. There is a recording of the conversation confirming this. 2. Vacation and financial assistance: I am supposed to take a vacation from December 22nd to January 3rd/4th with financial assistance for recuperation (50% of my salary). My management says I can take vacation, but I must work during it because I was on sick leave and was absent for a long time. I would like to understand: Is the employer's pressure due to sick leaves and threats of dismissal legal? Is it legal to demand working during an official vacation with financial assistance? What are my rights and how can I protect myself in both situations?

Is it possible to register real estate based solely on a technical passport?

I recently learned that a notary in Kyiv registered ownership of a building solely on the basis of a technical passport, without other documents confirming the legal grounds for such registration. Please tell me, can this technical passport truly be sufficient for official real estate registration? What specific documents are absolutely necessary for everything to be legal and without risk for the future owner?

Conditions for receiving the "winter support" of UAH 6500

I saw that the state provides financial assistance of 6500 hryvnias, the so-called "winter support", and applications can only be submitted until December 17. However, among the conditions, several categories of those who can receive this money are listed: for example, recipients of state child benefits, low-income families, single pensioners, etc. Please tell me, if I receive another form of social assistance but do not fall under the specified categories, can I also apply for this one-time payment, or does this program apply exclusively to the listed categories of persons?
