joined the weaving of camouflage nets in one of the churches of the orthodox church of ukraine. i am an architect, restorer by education, i lost my job because our company. on who where now the volunteers agreed on their unique weaving technique, a little different from others, we developed our scheme and cuts with such well, with leaves and the scheme of weaving, that is, two by two, two by one, one by one, and so that, well, our task, like that of doctors, is not to harm. that's right, maria volodymyrivna , a parishioner of the temple, as soon as she heard from the abbot that working hands were needed, she joined other volunteers, she has been cutting fabric for weaving nets for two years, i wanted to do something, i already, i'm not just, where to go , came here to the church and

our priest, father oleksandr, announced that it was necessary, i see, there are nets here, that’s all, well, i started coming here, under the images of saints and suprovit prayers, the lady doesn't think about fatigue, but about those whom her work... but i can save, i have to, i have to, sometimes you get tired already, but you keep walking, because you know that our boys, oh, it's even worse there, and we think that maybe something will save someone, this net is ours, this is our work, maybe it will save someone from, oh, from the most terrible, the first frame for a camouflage net appeared here long before 2022, in the 19th year, when the government changed. we understood that the war was being erased, and immediately arose, well, such was the proposal, to weave a net so that people understand that the war still exists in our country, and we cannot show it, do not show it, do not tell. currently, there is a great shortage

of volunteers in the temple, because there is always a need for camouflage nets. people come, promise that they will come, then shut up, we all shut up, we only taught them. already frozen, not everyone can be a volunteer, this is a lot of work, a lot of shoulder work, these are people who give up some of their household items, and we still need to donate, because a roll of the base for the camouflage net costs 17, uah, base fabric of green color - 400. all orders for products are carefully recorded by volunteers. unfortunately, this is already our second notebook, i started keeping records. came here on 1.4.22, and they started keeping a notebook when the orders simply collapsed. in 22 months , more than 13,500 m2 of masking nets were woven and sent in the walls of the temple, and volunteers will continue to work as long as

there is a need for their work. anna morozova, bohdan proskurov, from poltava for espresso tv channel. espresso's volunteer kitchen continues to work for victory. already the second for a year in a row, we have been making our own vitamin mixtures for the armed forces. currently, the initiative is gaining momentum in parcels to the front, in addition to vitamins, there are also other goodies necessary for our defenders, such as dried fruits, nuts, jerky, lozenges, dry cloves and borsch, lard, canned meat, in short, everything, everything something that will feed our people at zero. we constantly have a lot of requests, which means that there is a need for our help on the front, so get involved and support. our soldiers by donation. you can now see all the details on your screens. search for espresso on youtube and be sure to subscribe, because there are live atero broadcasts, all program releases and special projects that can only be seen here. also a short video on hot topics in

further, that is, we are now retreating a little, so that later we can gather our strength and close this collection very quickly, i wanted to add, do you know, what else to add about signing and so on, dear friends, i already said that this human came out freedom index, the level of freedom of various civil and general freedoms in different states, let me remind you that ukraine was in... 83rd place, below 83rd place, only belarus is worse in europe, 133, it seems, or 130, some fourth, here, well, russia 120 some there, well, i don’t consider russia a european state, even though they have part of european territories, so far they themselves, when they figure out who they are, asians or europeans, then we will be possible, leaving from what costs, although what i wanted to say, we are on the 83rd place, we shared this 83rd honorable place with another country. the wrong country

was called honduras, because that's how honduran ukraine was called honduran, here we are with them according to the level of freedom of 80 with some parameters , the freedom of doing business, the economy, freedom in the courts, the rule of law, legal protection and freedom of speech were several huge parameters measured at once, so imagine if there was no espresso, we would be on the 83rd. would we move towards belarus and russia in this indicator, in your opinion, but espresso is not only because we are here in this team, you see us with lesia, behind us there is also a huge team of people who work on each release, over the fact that you were vtr at all, not only on television, but also on various other platforms, but also none of this would happen if it weren't for our audience, your trust is the main value, the main treasure we have, well our job is to tell the truth, you know... as i sometimes say, tell the truth, even when your voice trembles, because the truth is not always easily given, we are all very

afraid of harming, again , the country's defense capability, the country's unity, but we do not believe that we can build unity on propaganda and lies, ukrainians are not such people, not with made of such dough, we are not a country of slaves, and unity is possible in us only how unity is understood, recognized consensus on the state of citizens, and not the state of tyrants, for example, as it is in russia? yes, this is mine, excuse me for a lyrical speech, but it seems to me that it is important. already with us is mr. ihor romanenko, the founder of the charity fund "zakryye nebo ukrainy", deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine in the 6th-10th years, lieutenant general. mr. general, we welcome you. i congratulate you. mr. igor, i wanted to ask you about the fact that yesterday tatarstan flew in a ukrainian drone, and in principle, a huge a distance, a great distance. covered 1213 km, at least its russian air defense, what does this

mean, can the russian air defense be improved in a short time and will the russians eventually do it? this means from a military point of view that the military-industrial complex, the defense forces of ukraine are concentrating on the main directions, we see such a principle of action of efforts on the main direction. we see that our capabilities, this is the triad i'm talking about, unmanned aerial vehicles, missile systems and the actions of our special structures, are still for the first time. drones, that is opportunities that are formed in our country, the enterprise of the domestic military-industrial complex, they show their effectiveness, and the effectiveness of both engineering and technical developments, as well as its maintenance and application

by our respective specialists, that is why this kind of capabilities. the representatives of the military and political sphere, well, the minister, the vice-prime minister fedorov, for example, talked about drones for thousands of kilometers, and now we see them in action, regardless of the opposition, which, unfortunately, some of our allies, the americans, in the first turn, who are generally responsible for any strikes on the territory. but this violates the objective laws of war, and the introduction of war, and the international one, that is, we are hitting tatarstan - this is not just any goal, even if there are people there, something somehow, they, the people who were there, they made up these drones that hit our civilian objects, and this is a violation of international law, and they are

international criminals, but you see, the americans have their own views, so that there is no escalation, so that there is no use... sullivan also showed a massive impression came and was responsible for so that if, and when the question was about the atakamsya, the atakamsev said no, no, with the atakamsya, let's deal with these issues here, eh, it works in the conditions of warfare, they help, we thank them, a strategic ally, but it does its own thing to us, and we do it our own way, and we see this kind of achievement, i hope that in the future... there will be, and, you see, in one day there will be a refinery and a factory for the production of russian shaheds, where they collect the components of siran and we can see that these are the shaheds who are active in the territory almost every day of ukraine, that is, there is an unequivocal perception here

that if weapons are made somewhere and they are used, then we must take measures to... with regard to destroying or reducing this kind of potential, which we do by using our unmanned barrage of munitions, which belong to unmanned aerial vehicles, shock. mr. general, it will soon be a month since the expected re-election of the president or i don't know, the dictator putin in russia, and everyone expected that some kind of large-scale mobilization would be announced or some other others plans so far this has not happened, so what are our expectations for this year? well, what happened is that from april 1 they are conducting another round of conscription, and 150,000 is a lot, and these are people aged 18 to 30,

compare with what it means. yes, now we will try to reconnect, yes, of course, compared to the fact that it took us barely a year to lower the conscription age by two years, here, and this, this and, this is actually a serious conversation, because in this sense , it is easier for russians, although they usually promise military personnel, that they will not be directly involved in the war at the front, but nevertheless, the general returns to us. romanenko, please continue. so, 150,000 is quite a lot, it is a young contingent, it is different from the situation we have, we are a belligerent state in europe, er, which, as they say, their experts, has the oldest personnel, middle age at the age of 42, and there is

something to think about, the president took a step from reducing the prize money. from 27 to 25, but this will not solve the fundamental question, because the fundamental solution of the question is that that we are late, this is a big mistake, and we need to replenish the units that are fighting now urgently, and we still have 400 amendments and all that, and plus, since may, the fortieth service is being released, that is, it is not fighting at the front, if the majority, but , but... it performs tasks where people are needed again, and they are very slow to enroll , taking into account the way the tsc works in our country, which we don't actually have. toolkit with all the consequences before the assembly, so putin will evaluate this one by the end of april the situation is enough and what resources does he have and does

he need to officially include the details of partial or full mobilization in order to recruit a group for such a strategic performance of tasks, conducting operations, which are being talked about a lot now, there are kyiv, kharkiv and... similar to currently they have no forces, the forces are military personnel, as well as the armament of equipment, they need to recruit new ones, they produce rather slowly, and they make more of the old armored vehicles, they restore combat readiness, there are large fields over the urals and modernize them as much as they can, and in the last battle, it was cheap around, there are only a few, by the way, modern tanks were destroyed. but mainly these are t-72s of various modifications that have been restored, that is , there are big

problems with weapons and military equipment, and therefore it will immediately resolve the issue of recruiting an appropriate level of grouping, not to mention kyivsk, at least if it were for kharkov, this requires time, effort and so on, so by the end of april the situation will be determined in order to carry out any operations and... it is necessary to find out the state of our forces and the state of the enemy's forces, and this happens as both the ukrainian and russian sides, but our task is defensive, to stop the advance, to destroy the enemy's more armed techniques of manpower, and the enemy is trying to advance, is advancing at the tactical level, and perhaps is building in connection with the fact that they are conducting a strategic offensive operation with the end. last year they plan to add more, it will depend on when and what forces they will be able to form additionally, about the formation of additional forces,

by the way, the russian ministry of defense reported that those willing to sign up in russia there were many more people in the army on contract, and the actual motivation is this, this is after the terrorist attack in the crocus concert hall near moscow. during interviews held over the past week at selection points in russian cities, the majority of candidates indicated the desire to avenge the victims of the tragedy that occurred on march 22, 2024 in the suburbs of russia as the main motive for making contact , so say the ministry of defense of russia, is it really yes, and how many do you think there may be, or do they like the lifting eyes that promise more? true if the situation is assessed. this also works, propaganda is powerful, putin has been investing a lot of money in what worked for almost a quarter of a century. putin is trying to make sure that we remember,

he is returning to his youth, when they formed provocations related to the destruction of houses in moscow and in general, in russia, in algadonsk and so on, in order to make a new impulse for the war in chechnya, as we can see, he... did not forget, he has it, so he remembers it, and applies it accordingly, he fully uses e- is this crocus of events around, trying to influence not so much, not only its deep-seated people, although you can see how it manifests itself, but also to influence leaders in europe, in the world statement. we hear and see, for example, macron cooperating in the fight against terrorism, ah, that is, there is

a fight, and information war, information is a very important component of a large-scale war, we need to understand this, and considering what is happening, we should first of all focus on the rise of the potential of the defense forces of ukraine, and this includes the personnel that must... must be called up and replenished in our brigades, especially those who fight, and also to form reserves, we remember the objective laws of war, which say that any military leader ends where his reserves end, we need to form them, because now we see that their soapy water, and it must be done hard and fast on this matter, and more produced. europe has woken up on this issue, and germany and france, and it is necessary

to increase, if these from... well, from america, i think they will still solve the issue in april through the congress, but even today, right now, the american president has the opportunity to solve the issue of supplies, to see how they do it in relation to israel, so the question is in work, in assessments and in showing that words are necessary get down to business. thank you. thank you ihor ramanenko was with us, the founder of the charity fund we will close the sky of ukraine, deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine in the sixth to tenth years, lieutenant general. well, we are going to take a short break, and then we will have a representative from the 25th serhiy okishev of the separate svicheslav airborne brigade and let's talk about that battle itself, the biggest tank battle in the last, for a long time in world history, because 36 tanks

were used by russia for the breakthrough. near avdiivka, it ended for them with the loss of a third of the advancing armored forces and almost all the bmps that supported this offensive, about how the 25th brigade actually managed to accomplish this, the brigade will talk with the representative of the 25th brigade right after the break, and we moved this collection of ours with you a little, added more a few hryvnias, and i want to say that we need less than 15 thousand already. to collect the tenth part, a viewer wrote to us that she contributed a little, if you also contribute a little with your donations, you can also write about it in the comments under our youtube broadcast, you should not be ashamed when you do good deeds, it should be talked about . dear friends, pause, then come back, continue. attention, move from unpack tv. cape sofa covers with a discount.
