on 501, that is, it was closer to the coast of turkey, that is, it is there, just where the recommended so-called routes of commercial vessels that go from the bosphorus towards the ports of greater odessa pass, and it was these attacks, they led to the fact that the russians became to be afraid to go out to sea not only there to the area of ​​the island. mines, yes, they already understand where they can be hit by ukrainian missiles, even where the route to commercial ships to odesa goes, because they had an unpleasant experience of attacks by ukrainian naval drones, but this also needs to be evaluated calmly, realistically, because of course the russians have already copied the ukrainian

drone, they have the opportunity, because they have a huge database of such copies, yes, to organize their mass production, and i have a feeling that we will see this year how march will pass, april, may will come, when there will be fewer storms in the black sea, realistically speaking, we will see an aggravation. naval war in the black sea, that is, yes, now we have an advantage, yes, there are achievements, and they are very interesting and important, but nothing yet it's over, and that's it, everything will still be different , well, about our victories and achievements as a result of yesterday's destruction of the russian patrol ship serhiy kotov in the black sea, seven people died, at least 27 russians were wounded... this is reported by the main

intelligence department of the ministry of defense, and natalya humenyuk, the head of the press center of the southern defense forces, stated that the destruction of the latest patrol ship caused losses to the defense capabilities of russian military bases in the black sea, she said on the air of the espresso tv channel. let's hear what said natalia humanyuk. we are talking about a patrol ship, which is quite new, because it was launched on... on july 30, 22, that is, already during the full-scale invasion, and it was, in principle , obviously performing the function of protecting the base points, protecting the infrastructure that still remains with the fleet in the waters and harbors of the black black sea on the crimean peninsula, since it is equipped with anti-aircraft systems, that is, it

was a kind of... a guard, a defender, mr. andriy, like these strikes and like our capabilities, at the current stage, like them affect the capabilities of the russian merchant fleet, because we know that oil, russian oil, is mostly exported from the ports of novorossiysk and transported by the black sea, well, to pasfor, of course, and this is one of the main... ways for russian oil, because all other the seas are too far and not so good in terms of logistics, does this affect russia's capabilities? well, actually, this is a very serious issue, and today, if you take an average year there, about 4 million tons of crude oil and 4 million tons of oil products.

it is also used there mainly from novorossiya, but there is also the apse, where our aerial drones recently flew, there is also the port of taman, and there are also ports of the sea of ​​azov, where exports also come from, this is from rostov, azov, there is timryuk, taganroh , yeisk, the port of kavkaz, actually, well, those who want can do so, there are 8 million, on average, there are 80 dollars per barrel, i take the average between the price of crude oil and petroleum products, so you can multiply 8 million by 7 and 3 will be multiplied by 80 in barrels and it will be hundreds of millions of dollars every year, the russian federation suffers from this, so the black sea overtook the baltic sea ... the baltic sea used to be the leader in

the export of oil and petroleum products, because a significant part of the export went to the european union, which is close there. but now it must mean that the palm of primacy , so to speak, has passed to the ports of the black sea and the sea of ​​azov, and approximately 40% of russian exports of oil and petroleum products come from the black sea, and of course we cannot like this, just as they do not you might like ukrainian marine corridor. that is, which they no longer control, as it once was together with turkey, and here there is a huge question, and this question is called, so it is generated by the conventions on war at sea, they, since

the beginning of the last century, there are several geak conventions that regulate, this is not maritime law, maritime law is about peace, about... a peaceful situation, it is about war at sea, and these conventions, which have all been ratified by ukraine and russia, including there after the collapse of the soviet union, they ban, they say that you can't attack merchant vessels of third countries that are not participants in the war, and today it is precisely such a situation that most of all e. the vast majority of tankers that depart from russian ports, the black sea of ​​azoi, these are not russian tankers, they are greek tankers, turkish tankers , china, vietnam, saudi arabia, etc., etc., etc. and

, in fact, there is a mirror situation with respect to those ships that reach and successfully go to the ports of greater odessa, that is, there are almost no ukrainian ships there, er, so these ships are mainly from greece, turkey, as well as china, germany and there are also 25 eu countries, that is, relatively speaking, if russia attacks some merchant ship that goes to or from odesa ports and... uh, it belongs to a third country, yes, to a third country, then it is russia, it is not russia may not understand that this will immediately cause very large-scale sanctions, well, for example, a significant number of countries

will refuse to work with russian ports at all, that is, any ship that leaves from there will not be serviced in foreign ports, that is... for them there is a huge question for its maritime exports, and this, i i am sure that they know about it and take it into account, but here it cannot be ruled out that today's strike, most likely, something like iskaroem from the territory of crimea on the odesa port, or a korean analogue, north korea. this is not possible , we cannot rule out the situation that the russian federation will be able to, when the nerves of the great pui cannot stand it, yes, and they will launch a missile strike

with ballistics that is difficult to miss the ports of odessa, then this can lead to an escalation of the war on the sea is very powerful. thank you, mr. andriy, it was andriy klymenko, the chief editor of the blackc news portal, head of the monitor group of the institute of strategic black sea studies. next, we have tetyana nikolayenko, a journalist, a member of the public anti-corruption council under the ministry of defense of ukraine, a person who knows everything, or almost everything, about corruption in the ministry of defense. tatiana, i congratulate you, thank you for the evening. let's start with blackmailing atomservice. e-e of the ministry of defense, which was provided by the company that provided food to the armed forces of ukraine, you published this document, which concerns e.e. blackmail, or simply put, an ultimatum , when the atomservice company says that

all conditions for participation in the auction must be made exclusively for them, what does this mean, that is, who and why in the third year of the great war and... on 11 in the year of the russian-ukrainian war , he allows himself to blackmail the ministry of defense and why is this happening? and unfortunately, first of all, we already understand today. that it is not only nuclear service, that it is about all the companies that have been supplying food for the ministry of defense there for the last decade, and they staged a demarche today, that is, not even today, yesterday, after they , well, in fact, through one of the plaintiffs' companies , they lost the court case against the dotka, when they failed to cancel the conditions that were prescribed before the speech, namely, fines for not much. with the military part of the goods to be supplied, as well as for the untimely delivery

of the goods, they simply all withdrew their offers from the auctions that were to take place in the coming days transparently, that is, in fact, these companies gave the ministry of defense an absolutely specific ultimatum that now your troops will remain hungry, because you did not agree to our terms, and you do not want us to do business as we see fit. and of course i have honestly never seen such impudence anywhere and never there , even if i do not monitor all the trades that take place in other spheres, i have never heard of such impudent actions of the cartel, as happened now with the provision of food for the military, and of course, that we are very worried, because really now these companies, since they have a monopoly on the supply of food for... the armed forces, they can do whatever and however they want to blackmail the defense so that they agree to their

terms, including by concluding direct contracts, at the moment we do not know what has already happened at the last meetings in the ministry, what decisions have been made regarding this, and how the contracts will be concluded, whether they will be concluded by date or something another way. so we are waiting for this news, but really this is just a blatant situation, when the suppliers of the ministry of defense, who had a colossal margin, we can recall and the reports of the accounting chamber, we can recall the statements of the national anti-corruption bureau, which indicated that the margin of these companies can be anywhere from 26% to 100% on specific products, that they have never supplied the 409 items that are intended to be a... for supply to the military, that they only supply 26% of the catalog, and we saw, i literally

spent the last weekend there to find criminal proceedings against these companies, and indeed both the sbi and the national police recorded that atomservice, for example, tried to bribe one of the military in order to supply significantly cheaper products and write off more expensive ones, which active companies that we we know very well, because of the eggs of 17. they entered into a criminal conspiracy with the head of one of the military units there and they simply reduced the food supply of the military of this unit by a third and stole money that was actually written off through fake invoices. we understand, in the groman anti-corruption council, that such a scheme was definitely not in one military unit, that it is quite difficult for them... if the military themselves will not surrender, we have a suspicion that there are also unscrupulous people, there are quite

a few of them that , and that's why such schemes exist, they allow very large amounts of money to be laundered from our budget, and in this case it is simply unacceptable, because in fact we are creating an opportunity for unknown people who do not produce anything. no goods are transported anywhere to any front line, but in fact to have some incredible margin, to build hotels in croatia, to live beautifully, and at the same time there we periodically receive complaints from the military, then some kind of toshonka, which consists of sinews and bones, then a oil in which there is nothing but vegetable fats, then tangerines that rotted there a week ago, but them they put it in the military unit, and it was a fish, excuse me, in which worms had already started. but they are still brought by the military, and when we just entered the ministry of defense, and we asked

the employees of the state procurement department how many complaints the state files against such suppliers, they told us that there is a big problem, because the parts are not always they had time to submit applications to suppliers in three weeks, and the suppliers took advantage of this and supplied what was profitable for them, that is... if you wanted a higher quality sausage from them, then you they brought sausages of the third grade and said: yes, eat, it’s your fault that you didn’t order on time, well, it’s also desirable for us to hurry up what you actually ordered, which... so that there are no nuances, and the military is not there special ones, well, the military must be fed , they must eat something, and they often agreed to what was brought to them, and instead of buckwheat, pork instead of beef, and in this way the companies received extra profits, our soldiers, who risk their lives,

received just some disgusting food, tatiana, tatiana, here you are... telling, and it is clear that these problems are much more than you can tell, and much more than i can ask, and it is clear that this is an endless shaft going on, and we are in in our previous inclusions, we talked with you about the previous composition of the leadership of the ministry of defense, then rustem umyerov came, then the reform of the anti-corruption reform in the ministry of defense appeared, tell us, is something changing in... constructions, will we like them always catch rats by the tail and say: well, here is the atomic service, here is grynkevich , there is someone else here, and that is, it is endless, for someone it is a war, for someone it is a mother, and if now dot can collect the collection of applications, it will already be a significant step forward, because they

will at least accumulate in self data, how much potatoes, meat, milk is needed in order to provide. our military, and in this way they will also make this corruption on the ground impossible, because there will be no such contact between the military unit and the supplier, this is a very big deal, and that is why because of this nuance this really big scandal is happening now, because they just don't want the suppliers to know that dot knows and is such a bridge in these communications between the part and the supplier, so it will allow us to move... forward, unfortunately, we really hoped for a reform that would allow purchasing directly from the producers, and now the ministry has found and, well, i don’t know whether it’s a compromise, whether it’s a success, or whether it’s already a failure, and because there literally in a few days the discussion shifted from the fact that there will be an experiment in three areas, then reduced to an experiment in one area, where there will be

just purchases by individual food groups from producers and separately purchase logistics. and i think that the opponents really expect that this experiment will fail, we really hope that it will succeed and in this way the state will invest its money, the small money of a real manufacturer who has hired staff, and not some uneducated it is not clear who, that is, people who most likely do not exist, who have neither warehouses nor transport, and this will be another step forward, but unfortunately... it is now postponed most likely until the end of the year, and therefore i am afraid that it will probably be a task for the next anti-corruption council, which will either be elected there or i don't know where the ministry will appoint these people, ah , but it's a very long way, unfortunately, we would like it to be a little faster,

because there are a lot of problems of the ministry of defense, not only food, there will be a lot of work, i can't help but ask you. about hristo groziev and his statement by the head of belinket, who said about the fact that russia had a fairly wide agent network among ukrainian politicians and law enforcement officers, and they talk about anti-corruptionists, about the fact that they worked there for the fsb and the game, then a large-scale invasion began. well, in a word, let's listen to christ groziv better, so that i don't repeat him. there are a lot of people who have been political. activists in pro-liberal organizations and even in organizations financed by western foundations, who also met and probably received money or something else, but most likely money from the fifth department of the fsb. some of them were supervised by the gru, some by the fifth department of the fsb. now we do not see their activity in favor of the russian occupation

authorities. on the contrary, we see that they take a pro-ukrainian position. maybe something has changed inside them. i'm not sure how much information should be released about them, their names, maybe they are defending their country. well, i was honestly confused by what he was saying, and especially that he promised to make this investigation public after all, because christ georgian has a reputation, but frankly speaking, this statement is not completely clear to me , can you explain who he is actually talking about, unfortunately, i have no ideas either, i would... not even want to create a field for that speculation, which some telegram channels are conducting now, and because they are just raising the stakes now on specific people, on... probably, after all , it would have been more correct on groziv's part to either issue an investigation and specifically accuse people of something, and that was would be completely in the spirit of this organization, after all, as you are right

they said, has a certain reputation, and why make such an accusation that, well, they might have something, but i don't know if it should be made public, or whether their position has changed, and well, it's like if you have some information, but you did not finalize it and therefore do not know what to do with it, right? ah, well, that’s why it would probably be better to continue the investigation, do it as it is, ask these people for some comment, and then decide whether to make their names public or not, because now it’s just a field for manipulations, and unfortunately, our society is already quite unbalanced, there are many paranoid attitudes and many internal conflicts in it, which prevent us from being a united nation in the fight against our real enemy and this makes us so much weaker, and therefore it seems to me that all these theories about the third maidan, i understand that russia will really shake things up in every way now and prove the illegitimacy of the president, but

it seems to me that it is not very logical to talk about the third mandate, because we understand that for russia in general the maidan is something absolutely unacceptable and foreign, and they will never go for it, because they will never allow free thinking in their a... country and speeches against the authorities, that is, for them it is completely foreign and hostile, but really we live in an era when there will be a lot of throwbacks, and i talk there casually with women who left kherson, or live two cities away, and they, and if you have also seen reports about these ipso that kherson will surrender, unfortunately, these people are so under the influence of such information, they are afraid for their city, they are afraid... that they will be betrayed, and i periodically come across posts in social networks of people with whom i wrote interviews after the liberation of kherson, and they also have such rather complicated impressions, and therefore

we would probably be better off working to calm these people down, to give them confidence that no one will not pass, so it will be very difficult for us this year, unfortunately we do not have the support from the united states of america that we were hoping for, we have... very little stock, so this year will be a year for us defense and the most important thing is that the russians do not advance and take some more of our territories. thank you tatiana, well, let's wait for this investigation by hristo gruziv, because it would be interesting to see what he will say as a result, and what this announcement is connected with. thank you for the conversation, this was tetyana nikolayenko, journalist, member of the public anti-corruption council under the ministry of defense of ukraine. friends, prod. on this air, we are conducting a survey, we are asking you today : do you approve of zelensky's decision not to attend biden's speech to congress, at this speech zelensky wanted to sit

nothing is said about the office of the president of ukraine the fact that zelenska did not want to sit next to yulia navalny, but the washington post today writes that this was the reason why the first lady of ukraine did not want to fly to washington and be at this solemn ceremony of biden's speech before the congress, how do you perceive it, whether zelenska did it right or wrong and whether? it is correct that the ukrainian side does not allow, at any moment , to question our desire to defeat russia and our desire to win, including good russian mr. maksym, i do not think that in this case it was about some kind of confrontation between olena zelenskaya and the widow.

oleksiy navalny, er,
