movement of enemy forces. underwater boat, satellite images of the site of the impact of ukrainian intelligence on the russian speed boat have appeared. schemes have established the exact location and are publishing satellite images. they show the place of impact near the narrow bay on the territory of the temporarily occupied crimea. the photo also shows the damaged pier to which the russian boat was moored. the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine does not recognize putin's presidency and calls on the world to do so the same. this is stated in a statement published on the website of the ministry of foreign affairs. the document noted that ukraine sees no reason to recognize the head of the kremlin , putin, as the democratically elected and legitimate president of russia, because during the so-called elections, the russian federation violated the provisions of numerous international documents, which are the basis of the modern system of international relations. in particular, it is about voting in the temporarily

occupied territories of ukraine. meanwhile , a drone attacked a military unit in the tver region of russia. as a result of the impact, there was a fire fire. as russian media reported today, on may 5, a drone attacked a military unit in the city of toropets. after the drone hit , a fire broke out on the territory of the unit. there are no previous victims. from kyiv to from the field on a prosthesis, veteran of the armed forces serhiy hrabko, who lost his leg in the war, completed a one-day walking marathon brother for brother. in this way, the defender collects funds for the treatment of military man oleksandr natochy. since last september, the father of three children has been undergoing treatment after several serious operations. the treatment will cost uah 650,000. so we 're calling on our viewers to support the warrior recovery fundraiser. details from the charitable fund kol. you can see on the screen now, i really

hope that oleksandr will return to a full-fledged life, i will repeat it again, because individual work with such wounded people is very individual, it is worth a lot, it is necessary to bring a person back to full life, and this is what rehabilitators do exactly individually. slovakia resumed the passage of trucks from ukraine at the vyshne nimetske uzhhorod checkpoint. about this is reported by the state customs service of ukraine. according to customs officials , the scanner at the slovak checkpoint was repaired, so slovakia resumed the reception and passage of trucks. the uzhhorod automobile customs post has also become operational. as you know, on may 4, due to a scanner that failed, slovakia stopped customs clearance of trucks at this crossing. as noted by the customs officials, scanning the transport. and cargo is

mandatory for customs clearance. by 2050, the population of ukraine may decrease from over 35 to 25 million. the trend is simple: low birth rate, high death rate. about the causes of population decline and how to overcome them, in the story of dmytro didore. my eldest son is going to kindergarten in september, right? i imagined how we were there. we will collect some, you know, outfits for him, we need pajamas, we need to collect a set of stationery, well, an album, paints, brushes for them to paint, we were given a list, you need to collect an alarming backpack for the child. maria recently became a mother for the second time, she gave birth to her first child on the second day of the great war, then to the sounds of sirens and explosions , a boy was born, less than a month ago a girl was born to the family, the couple dared to take such a step with the thought, if not now, then when?

of course, it's a big load, it's hard, in general, yes, motherhood and parenthood, when there are two small children, in war conditions, well, it's a hundred times harder there, but... nevertheless, well, so far we're coping. a young mother continues to work remotely, it allows you to combine care for a newborn and a career, besides, it is additional money. it's also important to me to remain active, to pay taxes that are not what, yes, to have some kind of additional income, because i understand, well, we have takto, which provides us, but well, today, tomorrow, any day it can be mobilized, it will it's my responsibility. feed the children, put them on their feet, and so on. last year, 187,000 babies were born in ukraine, a third less than before the start of the full-scale invasion, and this is a record low figure. however, demographers are wary of statistics: a quarter of the territory of ukraine under temporary occupation. about 7

million citizens were forced to leave the country. how many little ukrainians were born abroad and under occupation is unknown. the most important factor for parents is the safety of their child. solved by russia. brought life threats and financial instability to ukraine, which is why most citizens are now afraid to give birth to even their first child. danger, here at the moment, here is the first thing, this feeling of danger and this stress from danger, it is the first to affect, especially since in our society has such a positive trend as responsibility, increased responsibility, and every family tries not just to give birth. child, but create all the necessary conditions for this. increasing the birth rate is a challenge for the future, but already today we have great difficulties in providing for the older population. today, we have 10.5 million people who pay a single social contribution. this is a contribution that is immediately transferred,

let's say, to a pension, and 11 million pensioners. therefore, to pay each pensioner at least would 500 hryvnias pension. everyone who works, only the euv as part of the pension contribution, must pay at least 5,000. you know, one to the other. in order to increase social benefits for those already on work leave, it is necessary to attract at least 6 million citizens to the labor market. the ministry of social policy plans to return those who left. today we defined tasks and goals. we still need to develop the plan of action, because this is the first draft, the first discussion, and such... the plan of action, it is quite complex, and it is not necessary to wait for victory in order to to understand that we need to improve services, that we need to develop medicine very quickly. due to understandable circumstances, ukraine has the lowest birth rate in europe, but a baby boom should not be expected after the end of the war, demographers emphasize.

we have some hope that when the war is over, we will have a small increase in the birth rate, because of that. that delayed births will be realized, but how powerful will it be, how great will it be? a lot depends on the extent to which the measures will be implemented and the tasks that are currently prescribed in the demographic development strategy will be carried out. in order for there to be more ukrainians, the conditions for future parents must be created now, and the economic and social ones must be continued. reforms, because if this is not done, then according to the forecasts of the ministry of social policy, in 25 years ukraine will have half the population than at the beginning of independence. dmytro didora and dmytro nikiferov, espresso tv channel. and i want to appeal to all our viewers: let's go

we will unite as much as possible and close our collection for means of communication and security, which are needed by the intelligence units of the third regiment of special operations forces. they win our independence in... hard battles on the eastern front and give us the opportunity to live, work and study. our goal was uah 720,000. with your help, we were able to make an advance payment, and now, attention, we have to collect less than three thousand hryvnias. so let's not delay, we can do it today. the help of each of us is very important. each hryvnia has a huge value value. you can now see all the details on the screen. and i want to thank all of you for your donations and for supporting the armed forces of ukraine. all i have to do is wish you a nice and quiet evening and remind you that you can read more news on our website espresso tv, also follow us

mainly on the contact line or the entire zone in the open air in any weather day and night, so for the emergency recovery and return to the battlefield of damaged military equipment, in particular bmp tanks, armored personnel carriers, a minibus is needed to deliver mobile repair teams and equipment to the combat zone, as well as pneumatic hydraulic jacks for operative repair of foreign equipment. the goal is uah 630,000. i believe that with your help we will be able to close this fee as soon as possible. well, i also want to congratulate today on the day of the ground forces. armed forces of ukraine, sincere congratulations and thanks to the people who do the impossible, in this war they do twice the impossible, thanks to you, actually, we, not us, our army continues the war, we all support our army as much as we can, so congratulations to the ukrainian infantry, thanks, take care and drive the enemy out of our land, i believe that one day we will have an engagement with you from

red square, where you will end this war that is unfair to the enemy from... harmful for us, congratulations, thanks, and serhiy zgurets, who will literally join in a moment eteru, today will talk about the situation on the line of the front, there is a rather serious escalation, attempts to break through the enemy in certain areas, and why actually the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, colonel general oleksandr silsky, was in hot areas of the front, russia is threatening with tactical nuclear exercises about new weapons for the armed forces from american and european companies, about this and not only. we will hear about this literally in a moment, serhii is already with us, congratulations, serhii, please speak to you. vasyl, i congratulate our viewers, today is really the day of the infantry, these people are doing well impossible on the front line, we thank their courage, strength, then we will really talk about the situation on the front line,

about the fact that russia is threatening with nuclear exercises, and about new weapons for the weapons. forces from american and european companies, more on that in a moment. therefore, the situation at the front remains extremely difficult, this was announced today by the commander of the armed forces oleksandr silskyi, who for two days worked in the units conducting defensive operations in the direction of the enemy's main attack. according to estimates now the main strike forces of the enemy is just trying to break through our defenses and go to populated areas, these are kurakhove and pokrovsk. it is known that to the west of avdiivka the enemy occupied ocheretine and arkhangelsk, the armed forces must block the advance of the enemy to the west towards pokrovsk or to

the north towards the pokrovsk kostyantynivka highway. the kurakhiv direction is now the most difficult. battles, this is in the area of ​​krasnohorivka and in the city itself, in the area of ​​the brick factory, and also the enemy has been unsuccessfully trying for a long time either to surround chasivyar from bohdanivka and ivanivskyi, or, despite losses, to break through to during the time of yar with frontal attacks from the east, the enemy does not succeed. there were also reports that still need verification about a certain expansion of our ukryna bridgehead, although this bridgehead is now... extremely difficult, as is the entire front line. and today, the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense reported another successful operation using magura-b5 naval drones. there is a video from which it can be concluded that as a result of the attack , an enemy boat was destroyed, which was located in a

narrow bay in the village of chornoborske in the occupied crimea and here... the video shows that the drone attacks and hits a target in the form of a boat that was moored there. there was also another video today related to naval drones, but from the enemy side, this video showed that these ukrainian boats are already equipped with missiles that can hunt russian helicopters, because in one of the videos... because it was clear that these are air-to-air missiles of the r-73 class, which are really set up to attack those helicopters that are trying to hunt our drones, and there is even a video, where we can conclude that one of these drones is launching missiles, they have not yet hit the k-52, but i think that this is only the beginning, so we can say that

now these drones are at a completely new stage and begin to be used for the function. which they could not even carry out before, but now they are suitable for destroying russian helicopters as well. and at this time, against the background of increased aid to ukraine from the united states and european countries, the enemy again began to rattle nuclear weapons, this time tactically with nuclear weapons, vladimir putin gave the order, and the russian general staff began preparations for exercises during which, as stated. it will be implemented a set of measures to practice the use of non-strategic nuclear weapons, this, they claim, is in response to allegedly provocative statements. and threats by certain western officials against the russian federation. it can be assumed that, in fact, this is such a traditional targeted

campaign by the russian side to put pressure on our western partners regarding the termination or limitation of military aid, including opposing even those intentions that were declared about the possibility of sending nato armed contingents to ukraine, and i think that the logic is so in... now it is, they say, how many of you are there support ukraine, do not forget that we have nuclear weapons and we can use them. this well-known practice of intimidation of the russian federation has happened before, certain that it, of course, will not work and will rather be counterproductive for the russian federation itself federation, because in particular lowering the nuclear threshold is unlikely to be supported by the same conditional partners of the russian federation, to which china belongs. let me remind you that... that tactical nuclear weapons have never been used on the battlefield, and now russia has somewhere in the range of 1,900 different

tactical munitions for use in cruise missiles, nuclear bombs, and large-caliber artillery munitions. at the same time, european countries are currently considering expanding cooperation, primarily with ukraine. in the defense-industrial sphere 6 in may, the forum of the defense industries of eu countries and ukraine started work in brussels, 140 defense firms from 25 different states, european states gathered there, there are representatives of ukraine, we will talk with our representatives as soon as they return to ukraine in a day or two, but the main emphasis at this forum is primarily aimed at expanding cooperation. between ukrainian and european defense companies and, in particular , to use european money so that this money is directed to the purchase

of weapons that are manufactured in ukraine, so that this is already the third such forum, the first was in kyiv, the second was in washington, this is precisely in brussels, so that both the european and american components of defense-industrialists are now working to ensure, first of all, the needs of ukraine, and now, by the way, there is a bottom. .. companies and european and american ones that are already creating new solutions in order to increase the capabilities of the armed forces on the battlefield, and we will talk about this further in our program, now we are joined by oleg katkov, military expert and editor-in-chief of defense express. mr. oleg, congratulations glad to see and hear you. thank you for the invitation. there was excellent news, which was analyzed in detail by defense express, it is about a year. the decision of the pentagon, which became known on may 3, that a contract was signed with the american company sara, this is the abbreviated name of this company,

to significantly modernize these guided air bombs jaydam, and what it is about, what kind of modernization and why it is so important for strengthening our capabilities? quite a long time, when we talk about the american high-precision weapons that use armed forces of ukraine. there is information regarding the fact that their effectiveness is greatly reduced due to russian electronic warfare systems that suppress satellite navigation. in particular, at first there was information regarding the fact that the high-precision ammunition of the 55-caliber artillery ammunition excalibur shows not very high-quality characteristics in terms of accuracy, precisely because of the fish, after that information appeared, just recently, that the glsdb, which is... a hybrid small aerial bomb gbu-39 and the m-26 guided missile to hymers, it also

showed inefficiency precisely because of its low interference-protection, because of the powerful means of russian radio-electronic warfare, because again, when it comes to high-precision weapons, it is effective only when it hits the target exactly, in particular the same one. lsdb, then there is the size of the warhead, in the amount of 60 kg, that is, a very small warhead, which is really enough, more than enough, if the accuracy is ensured at the level of 1.3 m, and not effective at all, if the error without of satellite navigation increases to 3350 m, and only the inertial system works, so of course a quite logical, pragmatic and interesting solution appeared. to make an aviation munition, or rather, even just a miniature guidance system that can be integrated into an aviation bomb that will already be guided. to

the source of the jams themselves, i.e. to the radio-electronic warfare complexes themselves, because when they jam, they emit a very powerful signal, and honestly, it was quite expected that such a solution was created by the creation of miniature homing heads, in particular, for example, just for the kit, for the jdam kit, when an ordinary air bomb receives a kit that turns it into a high-precision one, and ukraine uses it... that is, it allows hitting targets at significant ranges, and in this case, well, integration before it, such a guidance system for a radio-electronic warfare system was objectively highly desirable, and here the question is, of course, that there must be a significant number of such bombs, that such similar systems, which prove their effectiveness, could to be installed on the same glsdb, that is

, if in them... they suffer from the fact that the reb facilities reject them, then it would be better for them to fly on these rep facilities themselves, well , again, at the same time, it is about improving the efficiency of all other systems that use satellite guidance to defeat ground targets, we are talking about, in particular, ukrainian drones, which rely on satellite navigation in their navigation, that is, we now have such a new technological solution that will allow us to fight against russian means ... of electronic warfare, and what is the range of these j-dams so that our viewers understand? everything depends very much on the flight mode from which they are used, if we are talking about high-altitude, high-speed flight, then we will be talking about indicators of more than 70 km, but in the current conditions, due to the fact that the enemy has anti-aircraft missile systems, the only method of their use, which is apparently used, and provides ...

immediate safety in relation to the crews, the aircrew, the machine itself, is to drop from a low-altitude flight by cambering, i.e., the aircraft makes a roll before dropping, at its peak or during acceleration it drops the ammunition itself, which is already flying to the target on such a steep trajectory, and then its range is, according to approximate estimates, about 30-40 km, according to public information. mr. olezh, but this was not the only good news that became known over the weekend, the company reid metal, the head of the company red metal, announced that ukraine will start receiving new experimental ammunition, or ars projectiles with a range of up to 100 km , whether you had a chance to figure out what it was

projectiles, what are you talking about? as far as such indicators are real, in relation to such a statement, there are currently no such ammunition in the product catalog, but the fact is that such developments are underway, and they are underway not only in rain metal, in particular, a well-known, for example, ammunition called ramjet 155 from such of the boing and namo conglomerate, which has a range of 70 km. there is a development, for example, from leonardo with breakfasts, which has similar characteristics, but if you look at those companies that are part of the rain metal conglomerate now and deal with ammunition, then it is possible see the expal company, there is a spanish company that is one of the leading ammunition manufacturers in europe and was acquired by rain metal back in well the deal was finalized in

'23 at the beginning, that is... when few people were talking about the ammunition shortage, and ryan matlyche then heard, well, he felt that it was necessary to buy ammunition production, and the fact is that expal is developing ammunition, it is officially stated that it has a range of 60 or 80 km, depending on the bore, it is quite possible that and if it is about prototypes, then they reached an indicator of 100 km, and unlike... such, for example, a projectile as the ramdet 150-155 mentioned there, which has a rather complex, proprietary jet, direct-flow engine, or, for example, a project from leonardo, then, there , where diehl german also participates, then very complex aerodynamic shapes are used there, as well as accelerators, then the spanish expal decided to combine already existing things that are well known.
