in the direction of machine vision, well , we have been developing both in one and the other direction for a long time, i know that there are a sufficient number of very successful tests for night drones and with artificial intelligence, but here is the machine star, what do you say, here the only thing is that all these directions are quite difficult to implement, and especially what concerns vpv, you yourself understand that one of the tasks of vpv is to make it relatively inexpensive. all technological solutions, they sometimes happen and significantly affect these drones, so here is the task, it is so very complicated, make it modern, if what corresponds to the front, and make it relatively inexpensive, so that such a solution could be mass-produced, and then i will ask about simpler samples, in communication with the military, i have sometimes heard about what they have to order ... drones only from proven

suppliers, because sometimes there are situations where drones that don't actually fly don't fly as far as they should fly, and there are certain, design flaws in the creation of this drone, how to prevent such things , or at the level of your association, is there any quality control needed, what can be done to make such cases less or not at all, well, first of all , i just think that the manufacturer himself should be... interested simply in receiving quality information from the front, and here, well, probably even more of a human factor, because , for example, in our company, we have a very strong contact with the front, we always have, if something happens, and we ask that you give us information very quickly, first of all we are interested in information exactly when refers to some bad scenarios, because it gives us the opportunity to make some... small

changes to the drone, that's it, and secondly, i just think that such information should be somehow analyzed, and you know, as always , he regulates the market, yes , that is, when there is some seller who is not very honest, some manufacturer who is not very honest, then he should just stop so that they stop buying these drones from him, and i would like to ask, do you supply weapons to specific military units, because i know that now military units have the opportunity to independently... buy there individual samples of weapons technology there and do you relatively speaking respond to the requests of various military units? we already do so and so, that is, we have a military unit with which we have already established relations, we cooperate directly with them, well, we also simply cooperate through the ministry of digital transformation and all relevant bodies that buy, well, then , if we take your defense and technical company fridom, here is your plan to increase... the volume of production of fpv

drones, what is it for this year compared to last year? well, we have, approximately, it's a lot it's hard to say, we will increase our production capacity by about 10, 10 times this year, these are our plans, at the very least, we want to. and now you are also waiting for a decision with whom to sign a contract and who will provide payment, and only then will you start ordering components? well. that's roughly speaking, but if you say it more broadly, you understand, that is, i personally, as a producer, expect the state to be a manager for us, that is, it should not be a regulator, even where it prohibits or whatever she allows, she should be a manager who helps me, ah, so that she collects information from the military, can somehow analyze and give me a forecast, just what she expects from us, well, not only for today. and also in six

months, in a year, because it is very important to prepare well, you mentioned the purchase of components , that is, there are components that can be bought quickly enough, and some elements are manufactured for two or three months, so logistics is a plus, and so it's big enough that shoulder just to bring in, and it's very important, to understand what they want from us today, six months from now, a year from now, sir? volodymyr, thank you very much for the inclusion, for all the explanations, for your work for the armed forces of ukraine, and i will remind our viewers that it was the president of the association of drone manufacturers technological forces of ukraine, the chairman of the supervisory board of the company freedom, vadym yunyk. so, these were the main results of this wartime, then more international and economic news, then on vasyl zima's great broadcast.

good evening, we are from ukraine. thank you, dear serhiy zgurts, thank you to his guests, they were military results of the day and the second hour of the great ether is ahead of us. there will be a report about ukraine with yuri fizer, and therefore an inclusion with a well-known entrepreneur, philanthropist and businessman, as well as money during the war with oleksandr morchivko and the weather with natalka didenko, we will actually learn that a really strong cold will come to ukraine already this weekend, well and now the news about the most important thing, briefly: the occupiers shelled kherson with artillery, wounded an 86-year-old woman, she is now in the hospital, the kherson regional prosecutor's office reports, according to the head of the region oleksandr prokudin russians in ivanovka. they killed a local resident, as a result of shelling, one of the village houses was destroyed, from under the rubble, the rescuers recovered the man's body, his identity is being established. the bill on mobilization was sent for revision and returned to the cabinet of ministers of ukraine,

said the chairman of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, ruslan stefanchuk. on his facebook page, he noted that it was a joint decision of people's deputies. well, the most interesting thing is that later there was information that the government will meet for... an extraordinary meeting in order to withdraw your draft law from the cabinet of ministers, only the logic disappears here, first the verkhovna rada sends it for revision, the first news, and in an hour the news appears that the government will withdraw it, because who withdrew it, who sent it, i think that from changes in terms, the amount will not change, but in any case, there is a very strange discrepancy in statements and actions, the main thing is that, as far as i understand, the draft law will be revised again in the executive branch of power, pressure will be put on the leaders of... the european union called for this president zelenskyi during a joint press conference with prime minister of estonia kaya kallos and put pressure on those who promised ukraine 1 million artillery shells. he noted that the ukrainian army still has not received the full package of promised aid and that today estonia can politically promote this

initiative within the framework of the european union. serious leaders, if their word is worth anything, and i... am sure of it, then it is necessary to implement the decisions that they themselves made, and we would very much like to receive, see contracts, because sometimes yes, a projectile, we are used to it, we are in this war, and we know that deadlines sometimes fail our military , but if we have contracts in front of our eyes, this already gives us hope that let delaying, delaying, but... delaying and delaying, but nevertheless, it will come to the battlefield. well, just like a million drones must come to the battlefield, necessarily, because the statements of strong leaders must really be fulfilled. the baltic tour continues, after estonia, president zelensky arrived in latvia, where he met with the country's leader

edgars marinkevičius. during a joint press conference, the leader of latvia announced a new package of military aid to ukraine. in particular, it will include howitzers, ammunition, anti-tank missiles, grenades, helicopters, and drones. communication devices, generators and echocardiography for the military. in addition , rinkevich emphasized that his country will increase the joint production of drones with ukraine. latvia has taken it upon itself to lead a coalition of drones within the framework of ramstein. and it is a great joy for me that now the prime minister will sign the documents in the presence of the president. this is a memorandum on cooperation in the military sphere. in fact, we have the opportunity to manufacture cheap drones that are very... effective, and even more so, estonia can help very actively, let me remind you that estonia is one of the it leaders, in europe for sure, well, skype was invented in estonia , in general , the it industry is very developed there, so i think that we can

count on something there as well in drone assistance. for the sake of zelenskyi and orban, the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of hungary, peter szijártó, will meet with his ukrainian counterpart dmytro kuleba. january 29 in uzhgorod. the head of the office of the president of ukraine andriy yarmak will be present there, together they want to discuss the organization of a meeting between the presidents of both countries. this was reported in the press service of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine. they noted that the talks will be a continuation of the recent political contacts between the heads of state. 15 bodyguards of viktor yanukovych, the fugitive president, were charged with desertion. in the 14th year, they fled to russia together with the then president, told the ... bureau of investigations this story, according to their information to the legitimate and his family, after which servicemen of the state security department, who at first helped organize the escape , volunteered to stay in russia and work for yanukovych. after leaving, most of them received the citizenship of the aggressor country, which

logically, in order to hide the desertion of the guards, the then leadership of the state security department issued a fake order about their alleged dismissal from military service on the eve of the escape. according to the materials of the sbi, the management of the udo of ukraine appointed an official inspection in 2023 and established that the employees of the udo left for the russian federation-24 on february 4 in the status of military personnel. these materials were used as evidence in the case of the desertion of yanukovych's bodyguards. in the near future , the issue of applying to the investigating judge with a request to choose a preventive measure in the form of detention for the suspect will be resolved . unheard of in dnipro , four locals were detained, who kept 50 people in labor slavery. they told about it in the office of the prosecutor general of ukraine. they were looking for potential victims. immigrants and homeless people were recruited at the stations, they were invited ostensibly to a rehabilitation center, promised

free housing, food and employment, instead, people were moved to a house with terrible living conditions and forced to work in the most difficult agricultural and construction work, of course, for free, the perpetrators took away from their victims all identity documents, phones, under during the searches , the law enforcement officers freed fifty victims, seized draft records, telephones and cars of the organizers of this criminal group. now officially, finland extended the decision to close the border with russia until february 11, the ministry of internal affairs reported. let me remind you that on december 14 last year, the finnish government decided to close the checkpoints on the eastern border with the russian federation for a month, all because of the threat to finland's national security. according to the head of the department, marie ranta. the situation on it will normalize only when the flow of people trying to illegally enter

the country from the territory of the russian federation stops. ukrainian khatiko. they are looking for kyiv region a family for a homeless dog. pesyk lives in the city of pereyaslav. in the summer of this year, he was rescued by construction workers who were working on one of the facilities. he blocked them with a sick man with wires around his neck, the men treated him and sheltered him, but in the fall the brigade left, and the tailgaters are looking for their saviors every day. every day he runs 70 km after the bus, because it is probably similar to the vehicle that his rescuers-builders used to leave. locals have already christened it hatiko. volunteers took the dog to the shelter, but he ran away again bus stop animal rights activists are sure that an animal can be loyal to another person if it feels care and affection. vasyl bezruchko from

kirovohrad region begins every day with a prayer for the soldiers. during the anti-terrorist operation, he was a military chaplain, and then he joined the territorial defense. currently, the father volunteers for the benefit of the army and unites dozens of people with this cause. our journalists will tell the story of khotabych, as he was called in the army. lord jesus christ god, bless and help all of us to the soldiers of ukraine, ours. may victory, peace, health and harmony come sooner. in the blue and yellow church of oleksandrivka , a prayer for the soldiers sounds every day. father vasyl built this church in the village 15 years ago. at that time, it was the first ukrainian orthodox church of the kyiv patriarchate in the area. then, the priest recalls, the service in ukrainian surprised people. later, the number of parishioners increased so much that sometimes there is nowhere to cross oneself - he jokes. at first they came just to listen. as a rule, we speak ukrainian, but then we realized that it is our ukrainian

the church and this is our language began to come not only themselves, at the moment they also bring their children and grandchildren. russia's invasion of ukraine changed people's attitude towards the church - says vasyl bezruchko. during the ato , the priest was a military chaplain . in the 15th year, i went in october to... then a military chaplain to a city in the slavyansk-donetsk region, just to help the boys, to support them, to support our then soldiers, our then defenders, and all this i saw instead, how people change their even a worldview. because of his long white beard, the military called him khotabych. i served in the 95th aeromobile brigade, and when i first came to them, i was a lieutenant colonel, but the lieutenant colonel still does not know how they serve there, he said, it's a hotabych word, and so i

remained a hotabych to this day. at the beginning of the full-scale offensive of the enemy, vasyl and his son joined teroborona, although, he says, the church forbids taking up weapons, so they were assigned to guard the objects. since the local teroboron was disbanded, the priest has been collecting donations for the army because, by the way, we also have many fellow villagers who are serving, there are even three who have already died, one of them, a classmate... of his son. and now father vasyl actively volunteers, collects money for drones, for humanitarian aid, and his daughter and his wife deliver crackers, apple pastel, fruit, and warm socks to the front. the priest urges people not to get used to war, everyone should help the army. in his daily prayers, he turns to michael, because the saint is considered the protector of soldiers, as well as to

nicholas the wonderworker, the patron of all those in the road from kropyvnytskyi for the espresso tv channel. well, now we will have a conversation, i will introduce our guest, konstantin dzhevagu, an entrepreneur, philanthropist, mr. konstantin, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, vasyl, i will make such an introduction to our conversation, i will inform you in fact why we decided to discuss this, this year an increase in exports is expected of goods and services from ukraine by 9%, well, at least this is what the first deputy prime minister of ukraine, minister of economy yuliya sverodenko said, according to her , positive developments in this direction have begun. take place in recent months last year, this was facilitated by the opening of an alternative sea corridor, the launch of the mechanism for insurance of vessels against war risks and the establishment of river logistics on the danube, we will talk about this now, and the question, in your opinion, were there really positive changes and shifts last year in relation to export of goods, what is being said, what exactly preceded this, how the blockade of the polish,

well actually slovak borders affected ukrainian exporters. vasyl, thank you, these are actually very important questions today, because this is our economy, these are our jobs, these are our taxes, which we collect today in ukraine, and we understand that ukrainian taxes go to the armed forces of ukraine, that is, we have money to provide for our military, to to acquire the military equipment, equipment, and all materials that we use on a daily basis in order to deter, firstly... some kind of enemy aggression, and secondly, to advance ourselves, to win back our territories, which are currently temporarily occupied, so definitely , as i have many times said even before the previous broadcasts, when i was invited to comment on such economic events, that is, 2/3 of our gross domestic product, they are exports, that is, we produce products that are then exported to world markets, and we

receive freely convertible currency, various, euros, dollars, pounds, we all other currencies that are freely convertible. to our economy, and thanks to this we pay all the expenditure parts of production, and directly wages, taxes and the rest of everything that is in the economy, thanks to this in fact and all local , state, and regional budgets that receive all this money also survive, and most importantly, manufacturers are able to produce competitive products, support their workers, support science, research and development, etc., that is, everything that is necessary for the development of any. of a modern developed state, so when ukraine last year most importantly developed the capabilities of logistics, export logistics through large ports, this is the greatest achievement of our ukrainian and government and armed forces, i would definitely like it happened much earlier than the second half of the 23rd year, but at least it happened in the 23rd

year in the second half, and it is very good, because we understand the military tasks that... it was very difficult here, believe me to make a change with the island in 2022, and after that with the grain corridor, and after that , of course, thanks to the heroic efforts of the armed forces of ukraine, we were still able to open the logistics corridors in 2023, the second half. i certainly wanted it to happen sooner, like all ukrainians, but it happened as it happened and god forbid that it happened just like that, because without these open... closed logical logistics corridors, it would be much worse, much more difficult for our economy to survive in the second half of the 23rd year, and most importantly in the 24th year, when we see today also, the delay in funding from our partners, due to various problems there, i don't want to address it now, because we all know what internal political problems are in

the united states today, what internal political problems are in the european community, that is, vasyl, the opening of the corridor. very much for us important, and promoting the development of exports, that is the most we could do, i say that i would definitely like the government to behave as competently as possible, because unfortunately there are not many competent people left in the government, but or although those who remained would at least listen to them , because we as entrepreneurs, we as associations, we as an industry, we turn to the government, we turn to those competent, remaining government officials who we would like them to us ... heard and that they should develop, develop logistics and all the rest auxiliary functions of the state in order for the production to work and for the unconditional export to be possible. more , well, you said in one sentence about the blocking of borders, it is clear that there are certain political moments in, well, poland, slovakia, where these blockings took place in poland to a greater

extent, but how does it significantly affect, well, if we talk about the business that known to you, and which you are familiar with, well, relatively speaking, we are shipping, or something is supposed to arrive, it did not arrive, as it happens, i understand that there is a big business, and there is a smaller business that may not survive as a result, or there may be a smaller business that is affiliated with the vela. somewhere there by some connections, to what extent does it destroy these connections and destroy the actual export capacity and business structure? vasyl, in fact, everyone is suffering, and how when we say that supposedly small businesses can suffer or medium and large ones do not suffer, this is not true, because when there is no big business there, excuse me, there is no equipment, there are no consumables that are precisely in such cars in trucks are brought through the border, and we have there some in... technological napkins, some technological engines, some technological, that is, consumables, which are constantly being

consumed every month, every week, every day, and the chinese market does not want to produce there, therefore that these deliveries and these supply chains are long, politically involved, the rest of everything, that is exactly what we have today on a smaller scale precisely on the border with poland, because we have a lot of... products that are imported, that are exported to the european community, precisely to the czech republic, slovakia, hungary, poland , germany, france, any other countries, and today we can neither send there nor receive from there, so everyone is suffering, as soon as possible this will be solved, as soon as possible our government will take care of itself and will go to poland and it will be resolved with the new polish government, the better it will be, in fact it will be better for the polish government as well, because this is all economic activity, economic activity is in... gross domestic product, gross domestic product , its development, it's jobs, it's development, this is welfare, this is wealth, this is taxes. and, river logistics, do you

see the potential for the development of these routes, what other alternative logistics routes could ukraine develop, and what does the government say, well, there are, or are there any appeals to the government regarding the development of our danube ports, it is possible to increase their throughput. vasyl, in fact, we should develop as efficiently as possible. the cheapest possible logistics routes, because all logistics, they cost a lot of money, and this is all the cost price and competitiveness of our products, so if we can first of all develop railways, second - develop ports, third - develop large ports, deep, deep ours, which can receive huge ocean boats, ocean ships, that is, we must first of all develop all this, and the government was elected by the people for this purpose, and for this purpose the government ... receives a salary from taxpayers from the people of ukraine, so that it pays attention to this. unfortunately, as i told you, there are very few specialists left in the government, unfortunately, many

people there are incompetent, and they are today in the last two years they have not paid attention to this at all, because we need to have competitive tariffs in our huge ports, they are not competitive today, this means that today the cost of services in the ports of great odesa is twice as high. than in the ports of turkey, canada, one and a half times more than in the ports of the united states of america, or three times higher than in china, well, how can we compete in this situation, how can we say that we can, we will export more, what we need it and our economy, when we have uncompetitive logistics or fees, and i gave you an example only of the port, and the same situation in the railway, where we have a lot of things, maybe for 15 years we have been talking about the fact that the railway should be liberalized. already in the 17th year, when we signed the association with the european community, until the 23rd year we had an obligation to liberalize the railway and allow private owners

to transport products with their locomotives on the ukrzaliznytsia network, that is, as it is today we, as entrepreneurs from all countries of the world we can do it in germany, we can do it in poland, we can do it in slovakia and we can do it in the czech republic, in hungary, in bulgaria, because it's all the european community. in ukraine, we cannot, because we even made a commitment in the 17th year, but until the last, until the 23rd year, we did not do it, because the railway resisted, it wanted and remains with monpoly, and after that, when the war started, she said, the war, that is , they said, it's not in time, well, it 's not in time in your understanding, but we all tell you, as entrepreneurs, economists, that it kills exports, it kills our competitiveness, because it kills jobs in ukraine, it kills taxes, and therefore i would like... that the government would look at these things, that it would look at ports, at energy, at railways, at rolling stock, at that , which can actually increase our

country's exports, and when we... talk about rivers, rivers are less competitive, we can develop them, but i say, we can also carry our goods and cargo in a hot air balloon, as in our time on zeppelin air balloon transported people from germany to the united states of the united states of america, but it will be very expensive , you can transport goods in spaceships, but no one will buy them, so they will be worth the price of gold, all these goods, so we need the government to look at what... how is it done in the world he should have done it we have been elected since '19 he should be doing it in '19 thanks to the prime minister riding a scooter around the cabinet he should to do it now today with another prime minister who does not ride a scooter, but alas this also does not make the economy competitive and liberalized, that is, exactly what we expect from the government and the state today,

because we understand that... except for ourselves, and this is now proven by history, no one will be able to feed us, maybe for a short period of time, but all the same, we must build a situation where we will feed ourselves and our people and our army and all our needs for defense, development and the future of ukraine all the time. well, the changes are really not that ripe, the changes are overdue, and what should be the changes made to the current legislation, what evidence of practice. maybe ukraine could accept to increase the share of exports and a more efficient process of exporting domestic goods? vasyl, as always, i say all the time: there is no need to invent a forester, we just need to accept and fulfill the ukrainian commitments that we signed during the association in 2017, when we signed the association with the european community, we just need to fulfill all this, and that is it everything else will straighten out, that is, if if logistics is liberalized, it will become

competitive. if the energy sector is liberalized, it will become competitive, affordable and one that can be developed after that, and so in all spheres of life we ​​simply have to do everything that brussels demands of us, everything that the european union demands of us, and what he says today, ukraine needs in order not only to get a ticket to the european community, but also to fulfill all the conditions and after that, to be accepted, whether it will be in the 27th year, the 37th year or the 30th year , it will depends on us and will depend on... on our leadership, on those people we elect, on those people we form in the parliament the majority in order to form a government and for this government to be competent, and if we say, which ones to accept we need laws, and in fact there are a lot of them, we just need to implement the laws that we have already adopted, after that we just need to adopt all the laws that the european community, the european union and, of course, our partners, the united states of america, are asking us to do, and are already demanding with

international monetary fund. because they want, and this is what we see today, it is obvious, these people have already given us more than 100 billion dollars of aid, but they want us not to bend, not to die like ukraine, they want us to develop and built their prosperity, they want us to become simply a part of the civilized world, their world, a part of the european community and live in the same way as the european union, great britain, the united states, japan, australia live, so we need everything. only to fulfill all that they want from us, all that they ask of us and say: " please, you don't need to invent nonsense and say that ukrainians are somehow different from south koreans, or different from australians, or different from americans , we are the same, and we have the same successes, and all our inspirations and the same diseases, and we just have to treat these diseases with inspiration.
