mr. olezh, but this was not the only good news that became known over the weekend, the red metal company, the head of the red metal company, announced that ukraine will begin receiving new experimental ammunition, chart projectiles with a range of up to 100 km, did you have the opportunity to find out what kind of projectiles it is, what it is about? to what extent such indicators are real, in relation to such a statement, at the moment there are no such ammunitions in the metal product catalog, but the fact is that such developments are underway, and they are underway not only at ratal, in particular, the well-known, for example, ammunition under named ramjet 155 from such conglomerate boing and namo, which has a range of 70 km. there is

a development, for example, from leonardo with shells, which has similar characteristics, but if you look at those companies that are part of the rain metal conglomerate and deal with ammunition, then you can see the company expal, there is a spanish company that is one of the leading manufacturers of ammunition in europe and was acquired by rain metal back in well the deal was finalized in 23 at the beginning, that is... back when few people talked about the shortage of ammunition, and ryan even then, vatal 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 version, it is quite possible that and if we are talking about prototypes, then they reached an indicator of 100 km, and unlike ... such, for example, a projectile as

the ramdet 155 mentioned there, which has a rather complex, proprietary jet, direct-flow engine, or, for example, a project from leonardo , then, where the german part 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, but to achieve at the expense of... well, a new approach and a combination of other technical solutions, new indicators, the fact is that traditionally, the bolt for increasing the range of an artillery projectile is the so-called active-reactive principle, when the projectile is equipped with a small solid-fuel jet engine, it is reported that it will be used and an additional gas generator will also be added, which allows you to reduce atmospheric fluctuations, well

, such turbulence behind the projectile during its flight, which also positively affects the range, how exactly they will be combined, how exactly they will look, there is no information yet, but it is extremely important that these developments make it possible to transform the standard 155 - millimeter ammunition is extremely long-range, and one would like to hope that it is precisely this line of work of the company expal, which is part of rain metal and for which rain metal can well say that it will supply prototypes such munitions, in the end ukraine became a very convenient testing ground, and with regard to the prototypes, it should even be mentioned that great britain is ready to send its combat laser dragonfire, against the background, the choke correction of artillery ammunition, even if it is extremely new, definitely looks like a completely pragmatic decision, which simply will prove their real combat effectiveness. well, at the time when britain is preparing to send combat lasers, then... the russian federation is currently

experimenting with superstructures over tanks and such this king of barns, we have seen a tank literally today and yesterday on the video, i would like you to comment on what theoretical and practical conclusions should be drawn from these innovations that the russian federation is currently practicing on the basis of the conditional modernization of its tanks, the video about which we will now show. yes, we are talking about the fact that this is not the first sample and it is far from the first, it is... in my memory it is already the eighth or ninth, which is built according to standard patterns, when the tank itself is taken and in a circle it is lined with such metal sheets, in this particular case they are also reinforced with some kind of metal nets, i usually also install a complex of radio-electronic warfare and mine-neutrality on top, in this case it is roller-bladed, knife trawls were used before that, so the machine should... have a fairly high mine

capability, i.e. anti-mine, i.e. it is so neutral, which is offended, it simply causes premature detonations, well, it clears the mine. the horn for the tank is further, at the same time, this is a construction made of metal sheets, it allows you to actually protect the tank itself from fpv drones and only from them. the point is that combat part of the fpv drone, usually it 's a grenade from a shot to an rp-7, it's cumulative, and in order for it to effectively hit a tank, so that it loses its tam hi, well, for example, a move to make it, well to harm to make it immobile, it is necessary to achieve several hits and hit not just the tank itself, but specifically it there, for example, the engine and transmission department. in the case of such a design , it is already difficult to do it with a semi-drone, objectively very difficult, at the same time, such a design

does not in any way protect against a full-fledged anti-tank defense, which should consist not only of fpv drones, it. full-fledged anti-tank defense, it consists, starting from engineering barriers, the same anti-tank nadolberovs, anti-tank mines, anti-tank missile systems, a mobile tank reserve, after all, semi-drones - this should only be a reserve, well, if only as an additional element, on which drones it is very dangerous to create the entire anti-tank defense defense, at the same time due to delays in aid to ukraine, apparently, which occurred against... what the usa actually provided at the beginning of the year it, created a certain deficiency in the anti-tank capabilities of ukraine and in some areas, in particular, there is a rather eloquent video with the use of such a structure as the sirai tank in the settlement of krasnohorivka, where this

tank simply travels 3.5 km in one direction and returns undamaged, and on all this, for all this time, on this entire route, as long as i traveled around the entire settlement, artillery was working on it. once when he was coming in and the second time where he was leaving so now panel thanks a lot for the explanation anyway we understand that dealing with this new defense of the russians can be anti-tank defense and more artillery, we hope that our soldiers will have it and are already on the front line, let me remind you that it was oleg katkov, military expert, editor-in-chief of defenses express, these were the main military results of this of the day, and more international and economic news later on vasyl zama's big broadcast, so stay tuned to the espresso channel. i am very grateful to serhiy zagorets, and i thank his guest for this important and interesting conversation. we will continue and now we will talk about the situation in sumy oblast. the enemy of this

at night dealt a powerful blow to the energy, civil, and infrastructure of sumy oblast, there are quite serious damages, the situation is quite difficult. with the supply of electricity in the region and even as of now, well, the enemy has done other evil, we will talk about all this with andriana kostenko, doctor of political sciences, mrs. andriano, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, advice and to see and listen, well, actually, let's start, after all, with the night attack and precisely with the fact that the enemy struck the energy infrastructure, 400,000 residents were left without electricity, well... as of today, there was such information, maybe something has already changed, and local residents were also urged to save electricity at least during peak hours, do you already know why the enemy struck? please tell me how serious the damage is and what negative consequences it

will have, first of all, for the population, for the provision of industry, and for the region in general? actually, i would say that this is such an unprecedented attack on... the energy system of our region, sumy region, as well were carried out by shokheds, in fact three districts, quite large such districts of our region, sumy, romansky and akhtyr were affected, and as of the morning of this day in the official information it was reported that 90 over 90 settlements remained without voltage, as well as a large part of the oblast. .. center was left without water supply, during today it is gradually being restored, however significant such organizations, in particular educational institutions, in particular medical institutions, so somewhere switched to switched to reserve

electricity supply and water supply, and somewhere actually, well, they could not work to the full extent. in particular, in the regional center, a large part of the organizations, well, started working at home remotely today, actually , the main main such attack was... was aimed at first of all intimidating the local population, because we see that during this last week, fakes were launched en masse in of the sumy region in the public, social networks about a possible offensive, about a possible occupation, a possible occupation of a certain territory of the region, as well as in fact, it is along with such informational throws, informational attacks that work for exhaustion. so the enemy is also trying to physically exhaust people, because a large

part of the population, in fact, could not rest and sleep normally today, they spent the night in shelters, they spent the night in such safe places at home, that is, in fact, the enemy is trying to physically and morally exhaust the residents of sumy oblast , is trying to hit critical infrastructure, hit the economy, because... actually those organizations that may have moved, or enterprises that may have switched to backup power supply, they are still forced to work in such an economical format, and this will, of course, additionally affect the economic capabilities of those organizations that today remained in the business that today remained working in the region. we see what the enemy is doing in kharkiv to kharkiv. where people have to cook, eat in the open

air, use fire and so on, it is clear that the situation is very difficult, and actually this is an attempt to depopulate and to actually kill life in a particular place, in a particular region, especially if we are talking about the borderlands, we have not yet seen an offensive, god forbid that there should not be one, but here is this preparation and magnetization of the situation, intimidation of the population, attempts to howled as far as possible from those areas that the enemy may be planning to attack in the future, i absolutely agree with that, what is the outlook for recovery, recovery, i understand that you will not be directly involved in this, and there are people sitting there now , think how what to connect there, where to change, where it is possible to replace some parts in order for it to work, in principle, what do they say, how will the region continue to live, well, except for this statement , which is mandatory in this situation, that let's save electricity, at least during peak...hours, this is the same as what we heard in kharkiv, well apart from that, what information messages are given, if they are given by

local authorities, maybe local communication channels, please, what we as scientists observe, firstly, it has been systematically conducted for two years work on securing critical infrastructure and in terms of physical security, i.e. a certain part of it is through... systems against anti-aircraft fire, yes , through anti-aircraft fire systems, individual objects of the critical infrastructure of the energy system are secured, on the other hand , enterprises are switching to autonomous power supply, that is, we now we notice that a large part of businesses, a large part of organizations, institutions, educational institutions, including universities, which are in sumy, in the sumy region, so they... are trying to provide themselves with generators, to provide themselves alternative sources of energy,

to ensure access to autonomy, to water supply, and so on. on the other hand, such an information campaign is really being conducted regarding a frugal attitude to energy carriers, to energy, to water, and it is actually very important, especially in peak moments, in the peak period. so that the population understood, each person understood his own responsibility , from how responsible i am to the use of electrical appliances, the use of water, and the third important point, it is still a rearrangement, well, it is this the process takes much longer, and it requires certain and strategic tasks and such decisions, and it does. significant resources - this is the rearrangement of critical infrastructure from

the system that used to be in the sumy region, we know that the region is actually on the border, for a considerable period of time we had very close relations not with our next-door neighbor, so i mean the business structure, and somewhere the energy system was tied up, the logistic ways were tied up. east, to russia, and actually, since the 14th year this one work has partially begun, but in the last two years, the rearrangement. electricity supply systems and so on, the host is being conducted, but again i want to say that these are such steps for the future, well, we could not ignore the attention, today another tragic story happened, in fact, you know, when a person dies, it is a tragedy, when a museum dies, it is also a cultural tragedy, and this museum may not be

of national importance, but of regional importance, the business card of velika pyserivka, the enemy struck today, i don't know if it was. it a shell destroyed the museum of borscht and lard in the village of velyka piselyvka, it was opened at one time by a local enthusiast, desperate oleksii skorkin, you can see now what is left of the building in which this museum of borscht and the village was located, well, if there is an opportunity , we can show what was there before that, well , i think we will show it now on video, and you know, a lot has already been destroyed by the enemy, well, this is how it looked, and it was really unique. there is a certain regional highlight, cultural, ethnographic, to a large extent, well , that's all, unfortunately, destroyed, i'm just asking a few words to say, because in fact, these are iconic things, you know, little by little, but they destroy this uniqueness of ukraine, and most importantly, this regional uniqueness,

it is the brightest, it happens very often. and mrs. adriano, the sound just fades a little, i hope you can hear me now, in fact, here are examples of such attacks, maybe this is not a museum and not a national value, but ukraine is unique in that we value culture in its various manifestations, on levels, when a person just knows how to do it with his hands to decorate... one's own house, then to actually involve the local population, with other neighboring communities of the population, so that they either admire it, or exchange a certain experience, nationally, at the regional level, that is, in fact, this is yet another proof that russia is at war not just against our statehood, it fights against ukrainian

identity, against ukrainian culture, and fights with the civilian population, smashes. small towns, schools, breaking down, small museums that are made by people, simple and scaled, perhaps to the level of their community, in order to show one's own, some personal interests, one's passion, in fact, there is really such a cultural, cultural, physical development of the identity of ukrainians, which distinguishes us. that we can once again prove that what distinguishes us from the country of terrorists, from those people who do not value their own, and do not, and accordingly treat others in this way, thank you very much, ms. adriana, andriana kostenko was with us, a doctor of political sciences from sumy region about the consequences of an enemy attack on the sumy region, especially the energy infrastructure, well, that's it

we will mention this museum in general today, but a little later, and now we will involve a guest in the conversation. which we will talk about the political situation, a lot of important topics, which are significant, which are definitely worth discussing. ihor chelenko, head of the analysis and strategy center. mr. igor, i congratulate you. greetings, good evening. let's start with the european tour leader of the people's republic of china, xijin ping. please tell us if we should expect anything for ukraine, first of all, from this visit, and what was the main reason for the conversation. to to european union seat pin? in my opinion, xi jinping went, roughly speaking, to trade his geopolitical influence on moscow in order to restore china's economic, precisely power, in bilateral trade with the european union. that is, we

understand that right now the topic of ukraine was one of the main ones. during the negotiations and the meeting with macron with ursula fonderlejen, and i would like to draw your attention to the fact that macron played the role of such a respectful host, but ursula fonderlejen, on the contrary, pointed out that sydney i think that if he wants trade, he can even screw up his own exports to the european union a little in the matter. electric cars or the same steel, and it is obvious that there is no single line in the eu regarding relations with china. but it's all the same , xizenpin is now obviously showing that he can influence the russian federation, i think that they will play the theme of the armistice during

the olympics in paris, this is macron's idea that from the middle of july there until the first half of august there will be an armistice 'i, but again the russian federation has already said before that it is not going to go to any armistice, so now this visit... sitting in france, then we know that serbia will be there, and hungary will be, respectively, plus of course, china now wants to, well to make such a signal that the united states is now losing its presence in the european part of the world, and accordingly, in this way, china, well, let's say, is getting stronger as the other, the other pole. in a bipolar world. yes, by the way, i have already heard talk about how china will now buy, energy resources of the russian federation, we are talking

primarily about gas there, but also about oil. actually, russia will sell all this at a loss for itself, plus there are problems with logistics, because here is this leading power of siberia, there, well, in a word, china now has such a profit from russia and put it in this... with this war in ukraine , which putin unleashed such a position that he has only profit. well, in any case, i think it was conveyed to the leader of the people's republic of china that all these profits could be significantly reduced if certain sanctions will be implemented by china's main partners, which are the european union and the united states of america. well, ursula fondeliaen clearly said that bingping used all his influence on putin. it is possible to use it or not, that is a different question. and tomorrow, let's not talk about putin now, let's talk about the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, russia has declared the head

of our state wanted, besides him, petro poroshenko, pavlyuk, kovel, today they also wanted the ex-minister of internal affairs arsen avakov, ex-minister of foreign affairs the affairs of pavel klimkin, the ex-minister, in my opinion, of information policy, a lawyer, as well as oleksiy danilov, were declared wanted, well, there is such a whole... number of ex-officials, but also active politicians, and why they declared the president of ukraine wanted volodymyr zelenskyi, what is the main reason, well, it wasn't done the way it was meant to be done? we have to understand that this step on the part of the russian ministry of internal affairs, it is actually aimed at fueling this topic about the post-maidan government. and we know what russia puts in its propaganda the sign of equality now between zelenskyi and poroshenko, that's all, there was supposedly a coup in

the 14th year and it essentially continued, i.e. now these arrest warrants are precisely aimed at showing the alleged illegitimacy of not only zelenskyi, but the whole power in ukraine since 2014, that is, it will now be, well, obviously, fueled by some statements of putin, tomorrow, respectively, during the inaugural speech, he will say something additional, that, well, actually argue for such actions, pay attention, as piskov commented, that they act in this way is the prerogative of theirs there investigative bodies and so on, that is, in fact... russia is now trying to show in this way that they have their own jurisdiction over almost all of ukraine, which is completely absurd, but again, it is completely in line with their

plans to intensify the offensive in at the end of may at the beginning of june, that is, they are now pumping up their own society and explaining why they are making this new offensive, now these arrest warrants have been issued, well, plus the topic has been thrown in again about nato troops in ukraine. this is a continuation of the topic that they are not fighting allegedly with the ukrainian people, and that they are fighting here with nato mercenaries, and that is why we see such actions, to ask about what will happen to russia tomorrow, well, yuliy fizer will talk more about this, but here precisely from a political point of view, and tomorrow on russia should re-appoint putin as putin, today i read an interesting idea, in my opinion, from boberenko, who said that in russia it is necessary to introduce... such a position as putin, that's how caesar was and after that everyone became caesars, caesar, kaiser, king, and caesar, is the proper name of the dictator of the roman empire and tyrant, but it became like... i

i think that in russia it is time to call all the rulers putin, here is medvedev - ex-putin, putin is putin, the next putin will be the next putin, well, let's say paturshev is conditional or someone else, but in any case, tomorrow putin will be reappointed to position, it is called the inauguration in them, and european countries do not recognize, do not send their representatives to this event, which will take place, how now? the world will continue to live with a person, contact whom they do not recognize, and by the way, the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine does not recognize putin either, as the winner of the election, which actually did not happen, because even according to the estimates of the russian opposition, which is quite loyal to putin, and, let's say, the maximum he could get is 30 percent, this is according to the most optimistic scenarios, it is real that this putin got in this russia now the percentage is 30, plus he

removed it. that candidate nadizhdin, who could actually be a real competitor to him, how to live with this? it is clear that russia has completely slipped into a dictatorship, received a black mark not only from the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, but also from of the european parliament with the relevant resolutions, if we remember from the 14th year, no matter what elections were held, expressions of will were not recognized for the time being... in the occupied territories of ukraine, which is absolutely fair, now a political assessment is already underway and is being scaled to the entire the territory of the russian federation, recognizing that these so-called elections were completely unfree and undemocratic, therefore it is simply a question of the russian federation slipping away - this club of autocracies, it is clear that the ties with the west are completely broken, well, the only thing...

we have everything mediators, and that's not it just like that, the same, for example, orbán from hungary congratulated putin on his victory, or, for example, the pope of rome congratulated, that is, these are just such individuals who have defined for themselves the role of mediators between the civilized west and the autocratic russian federation, so in this situation it is clear that there will be certain contacts... but rfitko has shown that this is simply a path to civilizational decline, and as long as they have putin, will it be volodymyr volodymyrovich, or volodymyr vasylovich there, or someone else will be appointed, you know, in your joke is only part of the joke, because you remember, the same piskov, he said that they need putin, maybe not others or something, but they need putin, it is quite

possible that they ... even somewhere will be formatted and the successor will completely parody the current head of the kremlin, but everything is clear that he is a dictator or not a dictator, but the first is responsibility, he must bear all the responsibility for those crimes, and secondly, it is a question of a further change of power, and now it is necessary to really strengthen the forces that are able to overthrow putin, it is obvious that these are inter-ethnic issues that are happening, this is the support of russian... volunteers who oppose the putin regime, i do not believe in good russians today, who in europe are actually competing for the next grants, but we have to look at those points that will bring an end to the current krevli regime. well , very briefly, we literally have a minute and a half, but i can't help but ask denys shmegaly, the prime minister of ukraine, expressed such restrained optimism that ukraine will be able to do it in washington this summer.

year to receive an invitation to join the north atlantic alliance. after the visit of jens stotenberg, for some reason such words did not sound, they were somewhat different, as they say, post-visit summaries. please. i think that our prime minister, he announced the maximum plan and our common desire to become members of the alliance, but really, in the alliance, the relevant decision is made by consensus. yes, there are countries that directly speak out, this is hungary, this is slovakia, they are speaking out against ukraine's membership in nato, there are stakeholders, the same germany and the united states, and that's why here the continuation of our diplomatic work is necessary, and if we do not even receive a corresponding invitation, we must receive something clear, practical.
