despite the fact that a long time has passed since the disappearance, and there is still almost no news, the woman hopes for your concern and begs for your help in the search for her son. he played the guitar. he studied well, and he was so artistic, i wanted him to become an artist, he studied in the same class, he did well, and he had many friends, all his friends are worried about him, a very good boy, i miss him very much, mr. victoria. told the details of her

son's disappearance. so, hleb lived with his mother and grandmother in mariupol, and they stayed in city, when there were very fierce battles. because of the shelling, hleb, his mother and grandmother left their apartment and hid in a relative's house. one day, gleb's mother went out on business, and when she returned, she saw that a shell had hit the house where her son and mother were. the man is their neighbor. he told me that a shell hit the house and that the military ordered everyone to get out and go to the bomb shelter, i started to cry, i said, how am i going to find them now, he said, go to the bomb shelter, i was in despair, i didn't know what to do , where to look for them, are they alive they, gleb's mother began to look everywhere for her son and his grandmother, the woman checked all the shelters there... the storage, but, unfortunately,

it was not possible to find the boy. on march 13, i was at the apartment, i was still hoping that they would come, that they were hiding somewhere, only on april 14, on hleb's birthday, when it was already calmer, i was driven to look for them, but this time, unfortunately, the search for ... no result, since then nothing is known about the fate of the boy, there was also a version about the death of gleb, when a shell hit the house, but fortunately the boy was not among the dead found, so gleb's mother assumes that her son may have been injured, perhaps he received a concussion, partially lost his memory and because of this he cannot report anything about himself. it is worth noting that our hotline 1163 was contacted by a woman who reported... that she saw

our program about the search for soil and allegedly recognized him. i think i saw him, probably with my grandmother, well, he was similar last year, somewhere in may, i’m calling, because it’s a pity that my mother is crying, looking, well, god forbid that they were alive, well, in which country, do you know where they could go leave, well, for some reason, my intuition tells me that it is definitely him. a woman said that she saw a boy who looked like a skunk... on the border with poland, namely at the shegyny checkpoint. it seems to me that he probably left the country from ukraine with his grandmother, but i don't know which country he went to, i just wanted to say that i think he is alive and maybe he lives in another country, because that's what i heard at the border, not all children had documents, maybe a lot of them. of course, we immediately passed this information on to the police, but so far

, it has not been confirmed that the boy and his grandmother went abroad, so the search continues. if you have any information about hleb cherepanov, do not delay and immediately report it to the hotline of the child tracing service by calling 11630, which is free from all mobile operators in ukraine. we have created a resource thanks to which you can report any crime against a child. in any city, at any... time, just go to the site and report, and we will launch all possible mechanisms to punish the criminal. stopcrame u.a. see this week in the collaborators program. betrayal under the soffits. why was the people's artist of ukraine sentenced to 10 years in prison. ruzhena rublyova is a soloist of the kherson russian academic music and drama theater. but what about the successful one? to turn into

a kremlin jester. don't ask too many questions, this is not ukraine for you at all. watch the collaborators program with olena kononenko on tuesday, april 16 at 5:45 p.m. on the espresso tv channel. welcome to the espresso channel. today, in our military program, we will talk about how ukraine can and wants to strengthen its air defense system. ukraine's need to increase air defense resources has become so obvious that, for example, the european parliament refused to vote on the budget this week. the question of the council of the eu, until ukraine receives additional patriot systems, because the meps themselves believe that there are as many as 100 patriot systems in europe, and it is quite possible and quite logical to transfer at least seven to ukraine for the protection of our cities, but these

are the words of politicians, and this is in reality does not mean at all that the governments of european countries about to make a decision to share. with ukraine, so what is the reality and what can ukraine do to really strengthen its anti-aircraft capabilities both on the battlefield and in the skies above our civilian cities in view of the russian threats, which are still not decreasing, we will talk about this in the next edition of our military program "war and weapons". my name is serhii zgurets, i am the director of the information and consulting company defense express, which is now jointly with... espresso strives to highlight the most relevant trends in our lives defense-industrial complex and our armed forces. and now we are joined by valentyn badrak, director of the army, conversion and armament research center, military analyst and writer, mr. valentyn, greetings

, nice to see and hear you. congratulations, mr. sergey, as always, i am very glad of the invitation. just before the program, you and i discussed the fact that now the war is changing and each side is trying to... use the advantages of technology in one way or another, and the one who adapts faster, in principle, is really well has a certain opportunity to overtake the opponent, and the one who does the work on mistakes faster, also has a profit from this work, but i would like you to now generally evaluate the modern poleboy, which is of decisive importance on it and as an additional issue ... with our air defenses, is there the same technology race where each side is trying to find the weaknesses of the other? well, i will probably start with the general from the battlefield, and since sometime in september , the military actually signaled from the front,

that a war of drones had begun, and it was caused by insufficiency on the one hand. already in ukraine, and in the country itself, the aggressors in russia, namely artillery systems, modern and very, i would say, those smart ammunition that could be used very actively, and actually speaking, immediately there was a competition in how these drones will be upgraded. and we saw very serious things that happened, that is, the dynamics of technological changes increased from september 23rd, well , just several times, we also saw the creation of drones, self-indulgent fpv drones

targets, targets, we also saw drones with thermal imagers, which was not the case before, but in a mass form now, we are now... we see, just yesterday there was an interesting report that in russia they seem to have developed a communication system and are switching from pprc to dynamic frequency changes, and that's going to make things very difficult with drones, but at the same time, at the same time, the military estimates the fpv efficiency of drones at about 10 to... and they say it takes somewhere around 10 drones to destroy , such as a tank, and many drones gets lost, rap has a very active influence, and this, new, even old, new technologies,

say, from hunting rifles that shoot down small drones, to, say, rebov rifles, very ... various technologies, interceptors are developing very actively now , the americans have already purchased as many as 600 coyotes, and such interceptors and... all this prompts experts to talk about certain changes. now there are opinions that, firstly, rap will have a greater influence, secondly, there will be changes in the sense that, for example, ground works will consist of, well, the main, or core, capabilities on the battlefield, and already at the beginning of january, the ukrainians demonstrated. several such interesting things, well, in particular, the kamikaze drone went as far as 4 km

to the enemy and destroyed the bridge, this is a very similar trend, very interesting, the deminers showed that they can demine literally in front of the enemy 100 m and to the enemy, and these are unmanned platforms , these are very serious things, then the development of submarines. drones, mini, even mini submarines, these are all moments, and of course the development of air systems, for example, china has created interestingly, created a drone, it was literally reported in march, a drone that can split into three, six other drones and create a swarm of drones, controlled, that is, these are very powerful ideas, powerful systems, but... mainly, what do we have, what should we conclude? the bottom line is that we are fighting combined warfare,

combined warfare is when very expensive things collide with very cheap but massive technologies, and we see that, we see that cheap massive technologies in a war of attrition begin to dominate, we see exhaustion of the ukrainian air defense system. we see the exhaustion of russian artillery, in fact, when drones surpass and increase the effect of work efficiency and perform, well yes, of course, they perform not the full spectrum, but only about 30-40% of the functions of artillery, but at the expense of dynamics, at the expense of cheapness, one a projectile, well, of course, on the russian market , it costs about 600-700 dollars for itself there, but in our country now... one ammunition costs up to 8 thousand dollars, the namo company recently

reported that it has increased to 800 dollars, at the beginning of the year, nato concluded a contract where there were already 5.5 thousand dollars for one munition, i am not talking about smart munitions that cost more than 60,000 dollars per munition, yes, and a single drone costs 600 dollars there, if it will be more technological, then it will still cost no more than 2-3 thousand dollars, and how this dynamic affects precisely the confrontation of air defense systems, you mentioned that ukrainian air defense is slowly being depleted, probably due to what the enemy uses there shahedi or more cheap missiles, more expensive missiles are used to strike such important targets as this dynamic affects. on the formation of the strategy of the russian offensive there, our defense, when it comes

to air defense systems, a very important point related to the creation of echeloned air defense and the creation, so to speak, of a sequence of goals, literally today we read such an insider report about yesterday and about the fact that in odesa... a ukrainian s-300 was shot down by a drone, and according to the ukrainians military, it happened because they were not allowed to shoot down the drone that was above them, formally everything is correct, it reflects the essence of the problem itself, but now ukraine has focused on the fact that it is the patriots, the patriot systems, we know that the patriot missile costs from two to 4 million to... and now i will return to the madness itself, if

it were possible to take a significant amount to accumulate and collect a significant number of systems, let's say the same skyranger, sky next with programmable ammunition, then in fact all the issues of the enemy drones and a significant part of missiles they would take over, and then. only ballistics would be dealt with, let's say, by the same patriots, and, for example, by airplanes at long distances there 50, 70 km from the front line, that's it... an important point, the second important point is that you need to look more broadly at the market, than only to the patriot market. well, for example, let me remind you that in february of this year, during the exhibition, saudi arabia concluded a new contract with south korea for 10 batteries, a new, well, no, not exactly a new

system, but a medium-range system, as it's called, damn... chong gung da, which can reliably shoot down missiles at a distance of 40 km, and such a system would also take over part of the tasks, if, for example, the european union, europe could bribe, but the main issue is with the patriots , and with other issues, with other systems, the fact is that we have encountered a remarkable, remarkable selfishness of european countries. because now each of the countries thinks that they have to defend themselves, and ukraine, well, no matter what, yes, it is telling that the president of moldova called on the leadership of the netherlands, yes there was this information, transfer your batteries to ukraine, they have three batteries of patriots, and not

so, really not so, in... vulnerable now, right now, but today and now ukraine must be protected, i am not talking about such countries as greece, yes, which is under the great influence of moscow, and they are unlikely to hand over their batteries, but let's say, the same germany of its ten batteries, well, it could hand over a couple or three, the same poland or romania, which just bought patriot systems, could well share the queue, yes become. so would say, secondly, why, why it is important to prove this to europe, because otherwise they themselves will have to use these systems to fight against hostile russia when it attacks and attacks european nato countries, and of course, and of course the purchase of patriot systems outside of the european union outside of europe,

it can also be, and well... again , yesterday's speech by the prime minister of japan, mr. kishida , in the congress of the united states of america, where he urged not to give up the leadership of the united states, and obviously he hinted at what the united states could sell to the europeans, let's say 5-10 batteries out of their 60 batteries, patriot, but tellingly, this is a very brave performance by japo. who are now, well , very strongly, so to speak, pressuring ukraine, yes, i understand that theirs there, how many 24 petrio batteries they have, they are unlikely to share theirs due primarily to the very powerful danger from china, which has now increased many times , but to influence partners, but now the

world is undergoing such a regrouping of forces. and indeed, which side will regroup sooner, that side will have advantages, and actually speaking, all strategic things will probably be decided by september 24th, maybe by october, and this requires very dynamic changes in decision-making and in their implementation, that is, the supply of these systems, about which... you and i are now saying, so the conclusion is to divide not only patriot, but also other systems, and secondly to persuade, to transfer not only what is there somewhere in warehouses, conditionally, storage, but to transfer what is currently in the troops they have to share. then there is one more proposition to discuss when russia struck at

gas storages, daggers, other systems, then... this gave rise to such an idea, perhaps somehow to integrate the interaction of our air defense system and the defense system of poland, perhaps this could be another such step in order for the air defense shield over our country to be more powerful, what do you think about such initiatives, solutions, proposals? the idea is certainly interesting, but i do not believe that nato will agree to such a move, because... in fact, if it is a question of using polish patriot systems, directly from the territory of poland, then this will create a situation when,... in russia they will call what general mili, the former, former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, who is still listened to very strongly, warned about, he

said, first of all, not to allow a kinetic collision of nato systems and its russian ones, here exactly this will be a so -called violation of this this this this situation and de facto. will be considered that poland has entered the war, it would probably be much better if they were quickly transferred, well, a certain number of patriot systems to the territory of ukraine, and then it would allow to avoid exactly such a threat to nato, although i say this from the position of the general panorama of the war, certainly for ukraine it would be... a much better decision, if it was polish systems that began to be knocked down , yes, and then

we would feel more protected, and actually speaking, we would feel that nato, well, actually supports us not only with weapons, but also with very specific actions, then the intelligence data would be added, ukrainian protection would be added. heaven, of course, this step would be revolutionary, but so far i don't really believe in him, as far as strikes on our underground gas storages and electric power plants are concerned, and as far as our strikes on russian refineries, on systems that process oil, in fact with... . now the situation looks like such an initial stage, and the result will depend on who

will hold this scaling. i want to say that even at the beginning of april, well, western analysts paid attention to the fact that russia began to strike more precisely and uses, no, no, holds, yes, uses for ... such purposes very expensive high-precision ballistic missiles and at the same time it aims at weakly defended areas where it had not aimed before. in fact, ukraine does the same thing, it chooses fan-like attacks, high-precision, well, there are a lot of targets for ukraine, there are already drones that fly at 1,500 km, and the same... ukraine is doing it, but the question now is scaling, who will have time to scale these attacks and, let's say this,

exhaustion, exhaustion of the enemy, because there are these completely justified positions that russia is also acting on the border, and the task that is now the kremlin puts, it applies to today, literally. today, and the calculations are definitely on the swiss, on the swiss dialogue, on the fact that a serious conversation about freezing the war will begin in switzerland and the great hope that participation in this, precisely in this part of china can lead to positional successes for the kremlin, here it's definitely a... danger for us, and that's why this political part of the war, it's extremely connected to what 's happening on the battlefield, and that's why

ukraine is accelerating with the escalation high-tech weapons of destruction and intelligence, this definitely gives a certain impetus and certain hopes that at some stage ukraine, the defense forces will be able even... without the powerful participation of the western coalition, well , to hold the front and to some extent destroy the russian defense potential, but it is really a big problem the exhaustion of our infrastructure remains the same, because we know that only the strikes from march 22 to today have caused more damage to ukraine than the whole... winter before that, and until march 22. mr. valentin, thank you very much for your explanations, for those accents that relate to the directions of changes in our air defense system, thank you very much for yours.

another important comment, i would like to remind you that it was valentyn badrak, director of the army research center of conversion and disarmament, a military analyst and writer, then we will talk about where ukraine can find the patriot air defense system, we know about the initiative of britain and germany, regarding the search such air defense systems for ukraine. we will talk about this in the second part of our program after the advertising and information block. greetings, this is svoboda live on the radio. freedom. we have already come to the snake itself. the following shots may shock you. news from the scene. live kamikaze drone attacks. political analytics, objectively and meaningfully. there is no political season. exclusive interviews, reports from the hottest points of the front. freedom life - frankly and impartially. you draw conclusions. events,

events that are happening right now and affect our lives, of course, the news feed reports about them, but it is not enough to know what is happening, it is necessary to understand. antin borkovskyi and invited experts are sober evaluate events, analyze them, modeling our future. every saturday at 13:10 with a repeat on sunday at 10:10. studio zahid with anton borkovsky at espresso.

we continue our war and weapons program and talk about the fact that ukraine needs to strengthen air defense systems, and a number of countries, in particular germany and great britain, volunteered to help with the search for patriot air defense systems, and before that, the president of ukraine and the minister of foreign affairs talked about a certain number of air defense systems, which... less is needed

in order to cover our cities from russian attacks. and now we are joined by a military expert, editor-in-chief of the information and consulting company defense express, oleg katkov. mr. oleg, welcome to kanaluso. good afternoon, thank you for the invitation. i will start with the president's statement, which was made a few days ago, where it was said that ukraine needs at least 25 patriot systems, then. the foreign minister spoke of at least seven patriot air defense systems. explain to our viewers how many we have now, and this 7.25, are these significant amounts in compared to that of other countries in europe that possess these weapons. regarding the number of patriots in ukraine, we can rely on exclusively public information, which has been repeatedly announced. it is about

what ukraine received from the usa. patriot, one more from germany, also germany and the netherlands gathered two, and from that we are already talking about three, but also the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy said a few months ago that ukraine received two more air defense systems that can shoot down everything that it was not exactly the case, but the point is because when it comes to an air defense complex that can shoot down anything, it means that it can effectively counter. both directly to ballistic missiles and aerodynamic targets such as aircraft. only two of the available complexes fall into this category, because it works effectively both against such things as iskander and against aircraft, which has been proven many times by the so-called wandering patriot, and samptsi, but relative to samptsi, then... .
