70% of contract workers are money, 70%, and these are mostly elderly people, and they are going to die for real, so i say, no need, that is, problems in the family there, i don’t know, 45 years old, well, the house is falling apart, no i know , well, these are the situations, they go after dragonflies and most often they are provincials, there moscow, peter is not practical at all, moscow, peter are mobilized, just guys who accidentally or somehow got caught, or something else. at the disposal of the media are important stories, which i have already mentioned today, a letter with a mandate and a special form with 202 categories of population that the russian authorities want to send to the war with ukraine first of all. responsible recruitment officials must report weekly. 22 categories, 22 categories are named 22 categories are named by officials, whom to contract, first of all, these are prisoners of all kinds, and those who are under supervision, and those with conditional sentences, and so on. that is, in dispensaries

that deal with drug addiction, alcoholism and various others. in addition, the list includes those who do not pay taxes and, of course, the unemployed. we managed to talk to two prisoners of war from among the recruited contract workers, literally immediately after they were captured. on september 29, on september 29, i decided to sign a contract with the ministry of defense for service in the armed forces and advertising and some patriotic feelings, plus i was not very good at work. i had every refrigerator, go for a contract, the armed forces, there is a decent salary, decent pensions and so on . servicemen under the contract receive regional support measures, the status of a combat veteran,

i joined the army due to the fact that i have difficult financial situation, i was kicked out of the house, there is no work, and what is more , of course, they are lying, they promised something completely different, they promised that no one would go to the front, and 15. both contract workers very quickly found themselves on the front line, and then in captivity, as for the promised payments to contract workers, here too it was not without deception, as in 2000, everyone was promised monetary support from 200 thousand per month, well, plus if the promised benefits to families and relatives, he received 200 thousand, well 195 in total one-time

one-time assistance, well, mostly it is 19,500, and mostly we used it to buy ourselves what we lack, there are shoes, some things, especially warm ones. that is, you received one payment and all at once , i didn't even get the salary, i didn't have time to look, that is, i don't know whether it came or not , that is, i don't know whether it came or not even the salary came. only very tough

guys are ready, realistically there, let's say if we take prisoners, they are ready, realistically everyone is ready, that is, there are a minimum of refusers, an absolute minimum, there will be two for every 100 people, three or five maximum refusers, one more effective method, in addition to money to lure to the army, amnesty for prisoners, video interviews with russian prisoners of war, we also received from one of the intelligence agencies of ukraine. they came from the ministry of defense, they offered a clean biography , volunteers went, yes, yes, i signed, like many others, they didn’t even look at what they signed there, i don’t understand politics at all at all , i just knew that i would be amnestied, for the moment of the full-scale invasion , there were 420 thousand people in russian prisons, in the rusidyascha foundation says that for almost two years of the war, the number of prisoners... took another 500

from the wagner ppc and 70 already directly from the ministry of defense. we know. i think that the very average ivanivka region can be extrapolated to the whole of russia, that is , a convicted person is such a commodity of repeated military use, and according to the current amendments to the laws that have already entered into force, directly from sizo, without waiting for a trial, having concluded...

medical they said to bandage him so that he would not die immediately. medics were trained, hands and feet were chopped off, then the head, all this was put in a box, and in the morning blown up with anti-tank mines so that there would be no evidence. when a person is tortured and killed, it is terrible. moreover, he is the same. even if he is imprisoned, he is a human being, one hell of a person, it is terrible, no one will stand up for him, because no one wants to be in his place.

when i saw that, i knew i was in hell. such massacres at the front are witnessed by yuondu rus sidyashcha. i spoke with one of our wards today, he tells me that there is a person, he named the positions with the letter l, like a cannibal, that’s how everyone knows him, he performs such freelance functions of the executioner, everyone is afraid of him, and he actually kills when someone is guilty. he told that the young boy's mother came to the occupied territories from russia, brought sausages, canned goods, that igor is not afraid of going to prison in his homeland for escaping from the russian army, he says that the most that threatens him is to end up on the war in ukraine. i'm not afraid,

to be honest, you know what will happen if they put me in prison, i'll just go to war, but this time not for a year, for six months, it will be easier avoiding service in the army of the russian federation, especially for those categories of citizens that we have already talked about today, literally becomes more and more difficult every day. laws are constantly changing and people literally do not have time to follow the changes. during the work of the project since the fall of last year, 30,000 people have already turned to them for help. this number includes deserters, conscripts, and contract workers in this 30 thousand, in a difficult situation, respectively, the main problem is that people do not know how to get out of it, and do not keep up with the changes, and as a result, we forced to be the tractors that pull them out of this quagmire into which they fall through change. the organization also believes that

after the elections of the russian president, which are to be held in march 24, russians will be recruited into the army even more actively. it will happen endlessly, here. there are still elections ahead, and during these elections they will continue to promise even more money for signing a contract to everyone who goes to the military, and money and a toaster and a tv and anything else, and whatever they like , they will promise kalina anything, if there is an opportunity, there is money resources are available. we will not sum up, draw your own conclusions. donbas avi was with you, pa-pa! there are discounts

to start negotiations on joining the eu. vitaly portnikov and the guests of the project: we are bored, because there is nothing to fight about, let's invent something, they help us understand the present and predict the future. for the world, a second trump presidency will be terrifying. a project for those who care and think. political club. every sunday at 20:10 at espresso. ukraine has become a testing ground weapons, the historic ukrainian-british security cooperation agreement. the first foreign trip of the president this year and how to get a job in the armed forces. about this. and more in today's release. massive

air attacks on ukraine. the russians intensified their shelling again. north korea and iran provide the russian federation with weapons to terrorize the civilian population of our country. the world is deeply concerned about such cooperation, and ukrainian skies are still not sufficiently protected from enemy attacks. if seven systems were given today, people in kharkiv, kherson, and odesa would not have died b. historical defense, political and diplomatic results, summaries of ukraine's agreements with the baltic countries and great britain. there is recovery: ukrainian families issue certificates to receive compensation for the housing destroyed by the russians. how is the reconstruction of houses in kyiv region and kharkiv progressing? i want heat at home, i want a house. greetings, iryna koval is in the studio and this is

the news, the results of the week on the espresso tv channel. a new stage in the war has begun. ukraine has become a testing ground for carriers capable of carrying a nuclear charge. about this spoke this week, both in ukraine and in the world. we are talking about... short-range missiles are known as k-n-23 or kim skander. it was north korea that provided them to russia, and the terrorist country launched this ironclad across ukraine in december and january. destroy more of ukraine's civilian infrastructure and kill civilians . this is why russia will use missiles from north korea, according to the usa. and their opinion is not unfounded, because after researching this. missiles have already found out that they can be used to defeat unfortified

surface targets, for example, such as residential buildings. these missiles are not capable of hitting point targets. on wednesday, at the meeting of the security council of the united nations, a lot of attention was paid to north korea and iran, which continue to supply the russian federation with missiles and drones. including the us state department published. statement of the leaders of 47 countries of the world, who called on the democratic people's republic of korea and russia to adhere to the relevant un resolutions and immediately stop any activity that violates them. in addition, us secretary of state anthony on january 11, blinken announced the introduction of sanctions against three russian organizations and one individual involved in the transfer. and north korea's ballistic missile tests for use by russia against ukraine.

it is difficult to say whether it will give results. but here is what is known for sure. mrs. julian smith, the us ambassador to nato, said that they have information, which is confirmed by satellite images, that the dprk delivered to the russian federation more than a thousand containers with military equipment and ammunition. but complex... protection we don't have heaven yet. the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, once again emphasized this. and there is not enough, in particular, systems capable of knocking down ballistics. so, a detailed analysis of the level of protection of the ukrainian sky. about 300 missiles of various types: cruise, ballistic, hypersonic, plus hundreds of drones. after a long pause, the russians resumed massive air attacks on ukraine. as of the end of december, there were already four of them.

unlike last year, the occupiers are not attacking energy facilities in the rear, they are looking for them. other purposes, military production, airfields and air defense systems, but it also flies over civilians. the enemy is actively using ballistics in kharkiv oblast, donetsk oblast, zaporizhzhia and kherson oblast. this is an inaccurate weapon. its goal is to terrorize the civilian population. about a hundred people died in just two weeks. according to information. intercepted over kyiv on january 2. the capital is covered by the patriot anti-aircraft missile system capable of knocking down ballistics, but there are few such systems in ukraine. according to the official data of the patriots, only three batteries, one from the united states and two from germany, plus

several launchers from the netherlands. it probably protects important objects. another system - sampti - the european analogue of patriot, transferred by italy and france, but such powerful systems are not enough even for the protection of large cities, as zelensky once again reproached the event during a tour of the baltic countries. and how to live peacefully and sleep, if you understand that you have dozens of such systems, and in ukraine, if you were to give seven systems today. then people in kharkiv, kherson, and odesa would not have perished. can you live with it normally? is there dozens of air defense systems in the west? so. there are 15 patriot battalions on duty in the united states, which is about 60 systems. for the entire territory of the united states, plus foreign military bases, quite a few. germany

has 11 batteries. some of them are used in other countries to cover nato airspace. transferring them to ukraine will significantly weaken the defense of the alliance, even if only against potential threats, and it is also about money, the cost of one system is about a billion dollars, and the launch of one missile is 3 million. missiles for air defense systems are also a problem. publication of the american edition of the new york times that the river reserves for patriot systems in ukraine are running out, and the west will not be able to supply them in the future, stirred up an information wave. the command of the air forces of the armed forces of ukraine said that the situation is not as dramatic as depicted by american journalists, during the meeting of the ukraine-nato council, which was urgently convened this week due to massive russian shelling, the allies confirmed that they will continue to supply ukraine with everything it needs to protect the sky, and to replenish their own of stocks of the alliance countries will purchase up to a thousand

missiles for the patriot air defense system. meanwhile, moscow is intensifying its strikes in the ukrainian style. cities and civilians, nato allies are strengthening ukraine's air defense. we will continue to support brave ukrainians and their resistance to russia's war of aggression. they are also trying to solve problems with missiles for the soviet s-300 and buk systems, which, despite the supply of the west, are still the main ukrainian air defense system. in the first year of the full-scale war, the allies transferred to ukraine almost all the stocks that were in the warehouses of the countries that once included in varshavsk. block now they are adapting soviet systems for western missiles. the project was named frankynem, a zenith frankenstein woven from various technologies. the f-16 planes also have to significantly strengthen the defense of the sky. the west promised to provide more than 60 fighter jets capable of intercepting enemy cruise missiles, but their delivery has been delayed. this week

, the danish ministry of defense announced that the first f-16s will arrive in ukraine. not earlier than the second quarter, and not at the beginning of the year, as planned. the reason is related to the schedule training of ukrainian pilots and work on infrastructure preparation. the enemy understands the risks of the appearance of the f-16, which is why it constantly attacks ukrainian military airfields, in particular , shaheds, cruise missiles and aeroballistic daggers regularly fly at the old constantinians. and he also buys weapons from his few allies, in particular the north korean dictator kim. chenin handed over kn-23 ballistic missiles to putin, with which the russians had already hit the center of kharkiv. because of this , the security council of won was meeting urgently, because the dprk is under sanctions. and cooperation with her in military sphere - taboo. while exporting munitions to russia, north korea uses

ukraine as a testing ground for its missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons. these strikes on ukraine provide north korea with valuable military information, which they use to further export ballistic missiles to other countries. according to the information of the western media , already in the spring. iran can provide the russians with its short-range ballistics, and also, if you believe the sky news channel, the iranians have developed a new shahed-107 strike drone specifically for russia, capable of detecting and hitting western jets systems of volley fire, which are in service with the armed forces of ukraine. the battle for the ukrainian sky continues. so oleksiy yezhak, an analyst at the national institute of strategy, is in touch with us. of research mr. oleksiy, i congratulate you. i congratulate you. so, according to british intelligence, north korea can become one of the largest and most important

suppliers of weapons to the russian federation. and it is already known that north korean ammunition has entered russian warehouses, including short-range ballistic missiles. the head of the south korean defense department said that the north korea. may sell russia new types of tactical guided missiles. so, mr. oleksiy, i want to ask you what unpleasant surprises we are still preparing for, and can this cooperation change the course of the war? well, if north korea's weapons could change something in this world, they would have already, they have been threatening japan, south korea, and the united states for a long time, and they are shooting. something , they are trying to launch some kind of mobile into space, because they cannot launch many, but really the quantity can create a certain new quality, if there is not enough in russia,

she will get ammunition from the dprk , they are not of good quality , they explode right in the guns, causing the deaths of those who use it, now the missiles are gone, what missiles can they be, the fact is that... those missiles that the dprk has many, they are old, and these are the types that were destroyed in ukraine in the 90s without any regrets, because they were obsolete. those missiles that are more modern in the dprk, there are not many of them, if we talk about old missiles, well , they are types of so-called missiles, the soviet name was elbrus, and the international name was skadi, they are called, they are liquid rockets for... well, they are not effective as such in terms of means, but they can be effective in order to saturate the ukrainian anti-missile defense,

because they are additional targets, our most modern, they are ballistic targets, and therefore have respond to the most modern part of anti-missile defense, such as the patriot, well, the european one, it's stressful, not critical, but it's stressful, it's additional. additional tool, in addition, the dprk has quite a few missiles, they managed to make something similar to the russian iskander, a ballistic iskander m, well, they at least demonstrated that they had something similar, the russians apparently gave them documentation, they created something, but they could not create a lot if russia is experiencing a shortage of these missiles, does not have time to make all of them.. capacities, the dprk could not do much, and the dprk still has, well, at least in a certain amount, an analogue of the missile that we have, which is called

neptune, but they created a similar missile, so in approximately the same terms that neptune was created in our country, maybe they created it too may, may transfer to russia, so far there are no signs of large numbers. and there are no signs of a drastic change in quality, those attacks that were carried out in the last, in the last month, they still look like, basically, these are russian upgrades, and the weapons of the dprk are used to strengthen, well, about the same as the iranian drones for that , in order to saturate, create problems for ppo and pro. mr. oleksiy, there is another country that has been supporting the russian federation for a long time, iran, have you started? actually, talking about iranian drones, this last week, tehran handed over a new cargo to moscow, according to the spokeswoman of the defense forces of southern ukraine , nataliya humenyuk, there were probably shaheds

or... components for them on board. on tuesday, the russian federation launched a new uav with a night vision camera during an attack on nikopol. these were usually used only at the front. in addition, it has already become known that a new drone, shakhet 107, was developed by iran for the russian federation and is described as explosive and reconnaissance. and back in september 2023, iran presented this new shahet from'. he engine and then appeared information, which was not confirmed by the air forces of the armed forces of ukraine, that apparently such a missile was shot down over ukraine. so, is there already data on the use of shaheds by the russians with jet engines in the war against our country? it's the same shaheds, just an engine,

an engine, well, maybe they just... they manage to make the right amount, the right amount of gasoline like, well, ordinary piston engines, and they make simple jets, but it means that on such a drone there will be a smaller charge, because of the amount of kerosene, well, jet fuel the engine is three times larger, this means that it carries a smaller charge, well, i can’t say how much faster it is, well, judging by those... messages there, no, no , there is no such drastic increase in speed, well, it flies, let’s say how it is how, how, really, a moped there is 100-200 km, well, maybe 300-400, i don’t , it will require adaptation, adaptation of the means by which they meander, it will require adaptation of those mobile groups that are chasing after

such shahedes, well again.. . just like with dprk missiles, it can't be much, that is, all the weapons that russia receives, and in general all the weapons of low technology, which are both in russia and in the countries, well, to put it conventionally, the axis of evil, they are either of low quality and a large number, but in a moderate such more or less high quality , but not in large quantities, because they can't make a large number of weapons at the same time... they can't do this quality , ukraine is divided, this is exactly the phrase that was on my lips this week after reading the magazine, and the whole thing is that the american magazine time published its top -10 global risks for 2024, and among other things, ukraine is divided in third place. according to the authors, ukraine will be de facto divided this year, and russia now has

the initiative on the battlefield. and material advantage. the year 2024 is a turning point in the war, and if ukraine does not solve its personnel problems, increase its weapons production and develop a realistic military strategy in the near future, its territorial losses may turn out to be permanent and may increase, writes time. and they also point out that ukraine has suffered greatly from the reduction of political and material support of the usa, and the prospects of european support. we can't do much better, and we can already see it, because the military aid that the usa provided to ukraine has stopped for now. further aid depends on a decision by congress, which must approve an additional national security request for more funding. the last package from washington in the amount of 250 million dollars was on december 27. so, mr. oleksiy, in your opinion, to what extent...

is such a scenario painted in time for us? i think in the form of the so-called minsk-3, this impossible, no, no such stops or agreements that ukraine somehow agrees,
