the israel defense forces have completed the installation of at least five large pumps not far from the headquarters, from the alshati refugee camp. this equipment is submersible. for several weeks, pumping water from the mediterranean sea. another site was opened in kyiv of the large ring road, a section with a length of 1 km from bogatyrska street to obolonsky prospect is part of the capital's northern bypass. the path leads to the place where the tunnel under the dnieper is to be built one day. therefore, it will have access to the trinity connecting the left and right banks, as the mayor vitaliy klitschko noted, this section has been under construction since 2016. a house of st. nicholas was opened in poltava, many townspeople and families of immigrants have already visited the residence and

received a sweet gift. more in the material of our correspondent anna morozova i pray to you and all that. to my family and beloved ukraine. poems, songs, drawings and crafts, with all this children come to the residence of st. nicholas, and there are many willing ones. told him a little poem and came to make him happy. i wished for health, for the war to end, and for everyone to be happy. someone comes to the festive residence for the first time, and for... this is already a family tradition. children's joy, some kind of holiday these days, that's why, that's why it's here. she asked for a lot of sweets, a unicorn, and that everything would be good, so that everyone could eat those sweets together. and from the moment opening, parents and children rush to nicholas, because this year the orthodox church

of ukraine will celebrate his day according to the new julian calendar on december 6. ukrainians have been celebrating december 6 for a long time, and since we are ukrainians, we must revive and remember. our customs, traditions, and to adhere to them, we celebrate the memory of nicholas and other church holidays, with the vast majority of orthodox churches, and not only orthodox churches, but we had guests from poland and they also have nicholas on december 6, that is, it is like this christian unity, and it's great, for two years now, mykolaim, an immigrant from kharkiv roman, has been working , i am satisfied with pleasure, i agreed to this position, it was difficult, but... when you see these children's eyes, the way they look at you, they tug at the beard, they say, oh, mykolay is real, that's all, you are filled with, well , motivation, energy, it's very cool, and i can't wait for when, well, this year and these holidays, all visitors receive

a sweet gift and a memorable photo from mykolay. last year there were a little more than 2,000, in general, the amount varies, the number varies from two to 3,000 each year. we always pack up to 3,000 gifts, and the gifts that remain are then distributed to children, or we send candies to the soldiers at the front so they can enjoy them there. parents with children can visit the residence of st. nicholas in poltava until january 6. anna morozova, bohdan proskurov from poltava for the tv channel. the espresso tv channel, together with the public organization baa, is collecting funds for atvs to transport the wounded and other needs of 9 separate mechanized brigades of the armed forces ukraine, a cold ravine. in extremely difficult conditions , the ukrainian military will choose victory every day without leaving wounded comrades on the battlefield. with atvs, evacuation will be faster and easier, and therefore the chances of saving

the injured are much greater. our goal is uah 8,000. your donation is a thank you to those who protect us on the battlefield. so support, do not remain indifferent. you can see all the details on the screen. and thank you, as always , to everyone who helps our armed forces. read more news on our website espresso tv, follow us on social networks and watch us on youtube, we will see you at 5 p.m., and then my colleagues will continue the broadcast, thank you to irina koval, thank you to the news editor, but double thanks to irina koval, because today is volunteer day and our tireless irina has collected more than one , uah 1 million for the needs of our fighters, of course, with the participation of the entire espresso tv channel, we work

for you, we try to help our fighters not only with information, but also by providing them with everything they need, so we thank iryna koval for her tireless work, well, the live broadcast continues tv channel, watch and listen to all the most important things now. yes, we should add defense express expert ivan krychevskyi to our conversation, is mr. ivan with us yet, please tell me, if not, then we are waiting, he is with us, ivan krychevskyi, we welcome you on the air, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, information appeared, in particular on your website about this, the ministry of defense reported that for the next year, uah 43 billion was allocated in the budget for the purchase of drones, which is more than in 2021, which was spent on the purchase of all types weapons, but we understand that 21 was a pre-war year. how do you generally assess such an amount as to how much it can cover real

needs, well, we understand that it will not cover, most likely, but at least some part of it, well, let's say, here you just have to take into account the fact that the harrows are currently in the budget laid down an amount of money for 2024, it invested a certain intention to scale production at the capacities of the domestic military industrial complex, is positive for all parties, well, because the more domestic weapons on the front, the better, the the more busy the domestic industry is, the better, but i think that there is no point in asking the question how much is the limited amount there, because on our scale, it is a limited amount of 43 billion dollars, well, a little more than that, 43 billion uah, i apologize, or a little more than 1 billion dollars, here i think it would be appropriate to ask about what, as it will be. deliveries, production will be ramped up, as it happens, in general , this amount will have to be increased, well, as in

general, there are costs, in the defense budget for the year 2024, for the purchase of weapons, and for drones in particular, because we can note that in addition to drones, there are large-scale investments in the production of own armored vehicles, as if we are talking about 700 different machines, investments in own missile production, that is, let's say yes, drone costs will be part of the cost. of the total defense expenditures of our country, i apologize for the tautology, accordingly, here we will have to expect that this amount will simply have to be postponed, and measured against that, well, there are 40 billion uah, well, it is for some part of our needs will cover, i think that it will not be appropriate here, because we are in a situation where these costs will have to be scaled up, scaled up, and there will not be such a ceiling that, you know, they have increased the costs and that is enough, it will be necessary to increase them constantly, but such objective realities of the war, we have 1,300 km of front , and it will be almost

impossible to accumulate a satisfactory number of drones there at one time, it will be necessary to constantly increase production. well, mr. ivan, i agree with you, on the other hand, marta has now provided certain statistics that 43 billion for drones - this is more, in general, than for the purchase of all types of weapons, well, plus or minus will compare the number, and if we talk about where to purchase, the issue of our domestic ukrainian production capacity, and in particular what we can buy in western military markets, well, how about you, there were some massive things in the western military trades, in the western military trades we can get some , you know, point exclusive things, well , for example, the black hornet is such an interesting thing, a miniature helicopter -type drone, well, because it is literally so small a helicopter, but for special forces such a thing works, but for some massive ones, for us to be provided with massive western warriors , there is no such thing, it is us rather, if we had a slightly more favorable situation, we could be a soldier trader for the west, but for at the beginning, we need to understand our own

needs, satisfy them , maybe even create some more niche products, well , because the creation, the key story, is the control system, the communication system, certain chips that can be purchased, for example in the same taiwan, so we hope that we have an appropriate understanding with the government of this island, i wanted to say the state, but on the one hand, it is not a state, well, in short, you understand what we are talking about, so we understand that there are issues there fuselage and so on, well, here are our kulibins, i think they could do something no worse. than what, for example , is produced by russian interventionists, yes, who took the same shaheds as a basis and began to blink into themselves, the key story and, with electronics, there is no for the supply of electronics, for the production of these or that does the bpl have certain restrictions regarding ukraine? there can be various pitfalls that relate to the regime of dual

-dual purpose technology, such maybe, let's say, logistical and commercial warehouses. well, because you can focus only on one taiwan, which is located in another corner of the planet, while there is france next to it, well , you know, france is possible, if it does not provide the necessary scale, but it is nearby, and taiwan, well, it is so-so there a kind of dialectic, they trade with the russians, nothing prevents them, moreover, we have one of the answers to why, for example, the russians are so bad at jumping on the west's sledge, well, because they always have messars with suitcases of cash who can offer a benefit here and now, well, we play in various bureaucratic, let's say, things, but in addition to electronics, let's not forget, in general, the question is still in motors, in motors for drones, interesting things also begin here with motors, right here, well, we, as it would seem there is an outstanding motor-building country, here we already have to figure it out independently because the drone will not fly without any good motor, it’s not enough that we still

haven’t been able to copy the question for some reason, shachet, the same, the russians were able to, for some reason we didn’t, although... it would seem, why not do it like at one time, the soviet union created strategic aviation with the tu4 bomber, so if the russians did not manage to copy the same shokhed, they have to buy chinese md555, but i do not think that our situation with motors for drones is better, so that we can say they could sew up this narrow place here, that's why it's an exception here electronics, we need to systematically engage in our own engine-building enterprises, the more we seem to be in trouble there... what necessary rehabilitation was carried out, if no one is going to change the traitor boguslaev, accordingly the field is cleared, we need to work with those capacities, but well, if we talk about powerful manufacturers, european or, i don’t know, asian, whatever they are, for example, loaded with a large number of additional orders, but ivan kyrychevsky just mentioned france, maybe there are some such adequate productions in

friendly britain, maybe italy, maybe germany, well, that is, they are not taurus. these are just engines, or maybe even at all, i don’t know, should we go the russian way, which they bought there, or through armenia, not only through armenia, the same washing machines are turkish, so they disassembled them, and accordingly, production in this is, of course, a little civilizationally poor way, well, but it flies and kills, well , the problem is that of course we can get the necessary electronics there in different ways, using different there dual-use technologies, there were corresponding bureaucratic obstacles there, they were also removed in terms of export control, but the problem is simply that we have to create all these capacities ourselves, that ’s okay, we can find a lot of details about how different, let's say, regional countries are now thinking about creating their own strike drone systems, but the structure of reality is the same as if, let's say, the world is the world market of drones,

for example, reconnaissance strikes are now shared between turkey and china, china in in principle, everything is in the other part of the circle, he privatized, a competitor of the conditional bairaktar , a quite specific chinese winglung, respectively, what, let’s say, everything that could be covered within the framework of the civilized world, i think, our suppliers of components, they covered, in fact, why have we already faced the barrier that we need more money, even more money, even more money, because it will always be for our own production, because everything that could be chosen, raked out, we have already raked , here even with great britain a strange situation is happening that when ben wallis was still in office, it didn’t smell bad to say the least, he promised a whole range of kamikat drones that would fly 200 km away, it would be a good story, but for some reason the british couldn’t make these kamikaze drones, they are there there are some exotic quadcopters out there, which in theory can launch torpedoes or brimstone missiles, they are just being put to use, maybe even the british tried

to be wise somewhere and instead of such a massive thing they made an exclusive one, according to us, for the picture, or what is the problem, so far not it is clear, the only thing that is clear is that we have simply reached the ceiling of possibilities, where it was possible to get something very quickly, and now it is necessary to invest our own capabilities, all the more so once it has gone, well, in fact, electronics from a washing machine, well, it is, even with russian standards, she will not go for it, well, there are stories about how the import of various, let’s say, household appliances to... the kremlin’s satellite countries, maybe it’s in principle, we followed some wrong trajectories, when tried to understand how they bypass all this, there, that's why that the electronics are in the washing machine, well, where is it, there may be electric motors of various specifications. well, i understand, well, this is just an example, that is, maybe there is something in vacuum cleaners, maybe not in exercise machines, but in some other devices for home

use, well, we don’t know, but as they say, we’ve passed, the main ones messages, mr. ivan, we heard from you, yes, mr. ivan, but by the way , the position of bulgaria is being actively discussed here, which may not transfer 100 obsolete armored personnel carriers to us, because the president of... bulgaria vetoed the agreement with ukraine about the supply of these armored personnel carriers, but the country's prime minister is sure that the parliament will overcome this veto, how critical it will be if bulgaria still does not hand over these armored personnel carriers to us, well, if it is not specific from me now , it did not sound, but we to put it mildly, we will survive, because the btr60 armored personnel carriers, the first modifications, no, they are not as good as they are now in the shots, but maybe the first modifications in general with an open roof, that is, on... are they even older than what is available now see on the video what 40 years stood, were stored in incomprehensible conditions, were not serviced, we got these barn transporters even later, if they were already given to us here and now, we

would have to spend several months to get them in order, well, that is, let's say this, as much as it is, in principle, a peculiar detail of the bulgarian internal life, that they decided to give us old brand transporters that had been standing in police warehouses for 40 years and were not serviced, and also... a peculiarity that the president of the country decided to veto this, in principle, it 's good that the bulgarians really don't matter to us not block such more important supply channels, for example, that they suddenly did not come up with the idea of ​​giving us 5-b-55 missiles for the s300 complexes, either for repair, or maybe even fully operational, from there various things for the production of shells of soviet and nato calibers, they also did not refuse, which is also not bad in principle, and as far as is known, the logistics channel for the supply of fuel through bulgaria, well, it continues to work successfully, and as for the old ones that are there, well, maybe at best it will be possible to disassemble them for spare parts, because they are old and there it will be difficult to use them in combat , well, there, i think, the bulgarians

will sort it out among themselves, because there is another example , it turns out that romania has delivered a certain number of old , similar armored personnel carriers under the tap-71 index, well, these armored personnel carriers lit up in mobile groups hunters, shaheds from the national guard, well, because it’s a brand transporter, and it’s clear that the combat qualities are so low that the maximum can be put on... it’s just that our guys drive around and shoot pedestrians from it, and not at the front, see, mr. ivan, well, my friends from the defense express company said that a couple of days ago you were actively studying the pentagon documents that were leaked to the network, yes, in particular, well, i'm being a little ironic, but in any case, there was an extremely unpleasant and disturbing message for us, that the american defense industry will not be able to fulfill all its needs, in particular , it is about increasing the production and manufacture of ammunition, yes, and according to the version, so to speak of the experts, the war in ukraine, the war in

israel, so to speak, testify to the fact that the power of the american defense industry is fully engaged, so where should we believe or not believe how quickly the americans can double, for example, the production of what we need. i think it's just an internal document, i'm here, in principle, for the future, before some different scaremongers in the style of putin will win, the russians are there, tomorrow they'll crush the mass and the like, and we don't understand what do, then i think it is worth remembering one such simple historical example from the time of reagan, this genre that we have there, well, the genre of russian the propaganda that we all like to mock so much about the analog net, that the russians have done something like that, or that their capabilities are very incredible, and we are all lagging behind, was actually invented by the americans in the 1980s, when they needed to be convinced on a rhetorical level that look, we are weak, we lag behind the russians, we need to lose even more money, spend on defense , but they were engaged in this, respectively, when

the americans are now constantly telling themselves that, look, putin will win somewhere, there is not enough investment in us, we still if we don't produce enough there, then they first of all stimulate their own opportunities to produce even more, well, because if you take it for granted that there are now some incomprehensible internal political disputes taking place there, but let's remember such here's a simple thing, in the summer of this year they gave us cluster shells with some motivation, that they say it's the production of conventional shells for nothing, but then in an incomprehensible and strange way they started pouring both cluster and conventional shells into us, and accordingly, we on one side there we see that if there was a reduction in supplies from the usa, but a reduction in the use of artillery at the front, well, fortunately there is no, but how does such a miracle happen when the ammunition is multiplied, but who knows, especially if we talk about the same israel, which there it is believed that he must be a very powerful receiver of projectiles, he actually fired 100,000 in a month of war, but there

are various details. there are details, there is an assertion that part of the projectiles were indeed taken for israel from what was reserved for us, and other details that pakistan actually transferred some of the caliber there 155 mm, so we have to think about how long it will take for israel to constantly take some part of our ammunition, well, it’s not worth it, there are various specific processes taking place, so the americans are stimulating themselves accordingly by the fact that it is necessary even more, even more demanding to win this industrial competition, well, that's good, we need first of all... to deal with our own , thank god, certain successes have also calmed the pishliski, well done, ivan kirichevskyi calmed down, so to speak, well, i caught the main message, that is, here are the pentagon documents, it is, in particular, about how wise the american generals can, so to speak , convince the american congressmen, they say, guys, give us a little more money for the development of our production facilities, an extremely interesting concept, thanks to ivan karychevskyi, ivan karychevskyi,
