and i went to demining, the scout was engaged in sports before the injury, so even now he firmly decided not to stop, first of all he wants to exercise in order to have a good physical condition. form, also has ambitions to participate in competitions, dreams of becoming a world champion, so he was one of the first to join the sports rehabilitation project in his hometown. what interested me was wrestling, it's like in life, you constantly have to fight, it's impossible to relax here, because if you relax, you'll already lose some time, and you can lose. everyone will find something in these classes something for himself, coach serhiy is confident. korkach, for someone it is physical rehabilitation, for someone psychological, someone will be distracted in this way. i want to help the boys to be in good physical shape, yes, that is, and this is more of a goal as rehabilitation for the boys, so that they do not dwell on their problems somewhere, yes, that is, but come here as

this is the town of baryshivka, in the kyiv region, until 2021 there was no place where teenagers could spend their free time, local activists decided to fix it. this situation and submitted to the contest to act ukraine from the charity fund mhp community. they won one of the grants and created the fanhub youth space. we opened in the year 21, but in march of the year 22, our youth space was destroyed by the russians with a direct hit rockets ot. and at the end of the 22nd year, after receiving grant funding, we built and restored our own. the youth space is already in the new premises in the basement. after the destruction of the hub, the activists did not lose heart and submitted to

the competition a second time, thanks to which they moved to another premises. in the space, teenagers, together with curators, arrange film screenings, trainings and volunteer, weave nets and make trench candles. the children themselves say that they are very glad that there is a fan hub in the community, because before its appearance it was difficult to find a place to spend time with friends. it was a painful question, because there were no spaces for this, they were looking for it, well, just the street was there and that was all, and when this space was already built, it became very popular among young bareshivka, i was here every weekend, friday, saturday, sunday , i was here all the time with my friends, i found friends here, i even got to know many people, the contest... act ukraine from the mkp of the community has been held for the ninth year in a row. during this time, the charity fund supported the initiative in

more than three hundred communities. the organizers say: the foundation's mission is to help communities not only with grants, but also with knowledge. therefore, an important part of the competition is training. thanks to this competition, we changed the approach to charity in communities, began to develop skills in project management, strategic thinking, so that projects were and... ideas of higher quality and were not only the expression of a single person, but it was a truly public decision. this year, the budget of the competition is uah 14 million. organizers want to support local social initiatives from veteran hubs and rehabilitation programs to shelter equipment. they can go to the competition representatives of local self-government, communal institutions, public organizations, medical and educational institutions should apply. find out the details and conditions. you can apply for the competition by following the link on the screen or by filling out the questionnaire on the website of the chasdayat ukraine competition.

we are currently collecting funds for that to purchase half of the drones for two brigades, now the goal of our collection from... is uah 2 million, at the moment we have not yet crossed half of the collection, that is, most of the funds still need to be collected, so we ask you, each of you to the extent of your ability, please join this collection of fp buckets - this is a very, very important thing, you know, our military, who turn on they also say this to our ethers, so please, everyone to the best of their ability, join the collection of qr codes and bank cards, the number of bank cards for... you see on your screens, for convenience , we will also leave a qr code in the corner, which you can scan and throughout etero at once to donate well, we are adding defense express military expert ivan karachevskyi to the air. mr. ivan, welcome to espresso. glory to ukraine. glory as a hero. so, the wreckage found in the kyiv region indicates

that russia used it to attack the trypil thermal power plant the day before. x69 cruise missiles, and in fact there are certain assumptions of experts that these missiles are very, very serious in terms of detection, as well as in terms of shooting them down, we would actually like you to explain to our viewers what the danger of these missiles is, and in fact, whether now we have more of them churn? first, the biggest danger from russian missiles is that they are still. the russians have and the russians use them accordingly, this, unfortunately, is the principle that applies to all types of russian missile weapons, taking into account the fact that the russians are now using them only for the first time, well, the one they have already used against us, as far as it concerns this x-69, well, on the one hand, you can compare that among the russians, this missile occupies approximately the same niche as our storm shadow and scalp eg, especially since

the range there, let's say, is plus or minus half, that is, there are russians 400 km away in stormshe. somewhere up to 500, if not the export version, but here, if we talk about shooting down, perhaps the factor that played here is not so much there, how densely we have air defenses there now, and how we can afford it, but rather the fact that it was, well, a relatively new weapon of the russians, well, that is, the first information about this russian missile became known only in 2015, while, like the hasto1, the project was known, for example, back in the 2000s, and the russians began to produce this missile somewhere in the second half of 2023, applied for the first time. started at all - when there, well, relatively speaking, february 2024, unfortunately, there was not yet so much data that, in principle, it was possible to understand how this missile can be detected, how to counter it , how to shoot it down, how to counter it, here is the question it is not only that we need additional patriots, we always need additional patriots, the question is that, unfortunately, it was not yet possible to

find, destroy, harvest and the like, tyukha 69, and the like, we will see. what, well, for example, these rockets... 69 they were not recorded in the first, well, in the official world of the air force, according to the results of the attack, well, that is, maybe the russians found something, how to use them, but, let’s say, we already went through something similar, when the russians, for example, used shahyeds there in the fall , or even when a similar path, when it was necessary to learn how to shoot down russian missiles as such, after a certain time i think what means of countermeasures from what we have, these russian x-69s will still manage to find. mr. ivan, we would also like to ask about laser weapons, about what they are talking about the british, they are currently testing a prototype of a laser weapon that can shoot down missiles, drones, it’s all much cheaper than those trains or tanks, and they promise that they will probably provide it to ukraine, even if it will not be fully improved and validated, but the timing

they are also wary, because in the 27th year only they want to launch it, that is, if they even give us a little earlier. when will we really need it, how do you assess, how do you assess these weapons and the possibility of transferring them for use in ukraine? i would in principle i would advise you not to pay attention to this, because you know, this is from the rubric, the laser system is cheaper than the classic air defense system from the creators, and without mobilization plans, we will be at war with the russian federation for two whole months. no seriously, great britain is a country that initially recently announced that it has such a powerful army, as many as 80 men, that it will be able to hold out for two whole months in a war against the russian federation. then british journalists unearthed that it turns out that great britain doesn't even have mobilizations plans as such, and she does not even create them. accordingly even. the question arises as to how the british are going to deal with it in general, well, to fight in the event of what, well, now the british head of the ministry of defense appears, he even begins to feed tales that laser

weapons are cheaper than the classic anti-aircraft missile system, because you know, we simply fall into a certain paradox, when the attempt to create a means of destruction is cheaper than the anti-aircraft missile system only leads to an increase in the cost as such, because it cannot oh... laser weapons are cheaper than air defense systems, if the americans have three machines per well with stryker-based laser installations, which in theory fire fividrons quite well there, but one machine costs 40 million dollars, just a machine, the cost of generating this laser beam is unknown, again, if it turns out that this thing can only burn half of the drones there, what is the point of comparing it with classic anti-missile systems, you know, it’s kind of too much… too expensive anti-drone gun, maybe they would rather us they fitted a little more classic anti-drone rifles, well, they are rap tools, but it would be more practical, so i suggest

that you ignore all the stories about there being a laser, somehow there is a super powerful laser there, because, well, they still under some illusions, mr. ivan, look, we would also like to ask you about our other news, so it says... there is information that norway can provide ukraine with 22 f-16 fighters, the norwegian publication writes about this, referring to on our own sources, and would like to ask you how realistic it is, yes, does norway have the opportunity to provide us with two dozen f-16 fighters, and actually, we understand that they also need some missiles, yes, because fighters simply by themselves do not have such value, if they are not equipped with missiles that can cause. and strikes, well, if you quote this publication verbatim, it also wrote that some of these fighters, perhaps not combat-ready, defective ones, will go to spare parts donors, in

this case, taking into account the fact that, well, you know, how the countries of the west promise us some kind of laser over there but they do not give something practical, well, for example, direct military aid in the amount of 60 billion dollars from the united states, then we just need to know where to get equipment, for the f16 there will already be significant help, by the way, the norwegian f-16 also has such a ... specific the peculiarity is that the basic missile, which there are 120 of them for the medium range, but if you take the short -range missile, then in general , the german airists were adapted to the complex of the same name only for the short-range version, that is , there is hardly a question of rockets in in principle, at this stage, to begin with, we need to solve the issue with the planes themselves, that is , to deploy not just infrastructure there, but to deploy, you know, the whole ecosystem for their service, and what... if norway itself declares that it has found as many as 22 planes, even if some of them will be donors of spare parts, well , they have found them, so it is not that there may or may not be realistic, it

means that it is already happening, do we have such a number of pilots who we can detach from of the ukrainian sky at this time, when it too needs protection, and to direct it additionally to training, because we hear so much about what both of them want to provide us, but do not provide. at the moment and by the way, they say that we cannot send now, because the ukrainian pilots have not yet trained, because they did not send such a large number of pilots for training. well, as far as i know, during the full-scale invasion, recruitment for the air force institute, which used to be based in kharkiv, is now, for obvious reasons, not based there, it continued, again, it seems that this is one of the groups, as it was even officially announced that these are young pilots who are there, well, who will study in the west, they first, and they will pass. for example, the entire cycle of training, i.e. first there are training elites, then initially combat and the like, and on the other hand, well, even if

we have personnel issues there, we still need planes, because the main story with the b16 is not even that how good it is there in terms of characteristics than any soviet plane, the problem is that the resource on the f16 is even greater than on the soviet planes, it’s just not, to put it more accurately, a resource. on the mih-29 and su-27, on which the protection of our skies is still based, is not unlimited, accordingly, we need as many aircraft as possible, the better. thank you, thank you, mr. ivan, ivan krychevskyi, a military expert from defense defense express, was in touch with us, by the way, there is information from zelenskyi that the netherlands has allocated another billion euros for military aid to ukraine, the president actually said that , that... so that he had a phone conversation with prime minister mark rutte, and the netherlands allocated another billion euros for military aid to ukraine and 400 million euros for reconstruction. according to zelenskyi.
