and the step is right, that is, when shoigu, and we know that shoigu is the equivalent of corruption, that is, he came in 12 years, when we remember what was happening there in the ministry of defense of russia, when serdyukov also carried out a seemingly pragmatic reform, which was oriented by the way, to the best standards, and at that time they overtook ukraine in many respects in the transition to nato standards, no matter how paradoxical it sounds, both in administration, administration, and procurement, they introduced the first outsourcing. for services and so on, were quite progressive these reforms were taking place, serdyukov reduced 100,000 officers, of course the military did not like it, and after a certain time he came literally in the 9th year, in the 12th year he was already expelled, of course with shame, accused of corruption and so on, i i think that of course there was corruption there, but in russia everything happens because of corruption, but what i am leading to is that when shoigu came, a rather powerful force was formed.

the generals' mafia, and not only the generals', of course, there was a mafia from the military industry, and in principle , oligarchic groups also took part in these processes, then in the 12th year it was just approved the program of rearmament of the armed forces of the russian federation, in fact at the rate, if taken at the moment, it is somewhere around 1 trillion dollars, well, maybe a little less, but the fact is that this trillion dollars has disappeared somewhere, and the guns of the kurgans and and... others advanced models of weapons and military equipment did not appear, that is, even now it may turn out that it is formally a very cool idea for a professional economist to come, deal with the activities of the ministry of defense, optimize, bilousov himself said, i will optimize the work of the ministry of defense of russia, not reduce in general, namely to optimize in order to reduce costs and bring it to some... reasonable

value, but we understand that in russia everything is done through corruption, russia itself sells oil through corruption schemes, through the black tanker fleet, russia receives microelectronics through corruption, russia receives everything without sanctions, which means that it is impossible to do without corruption here, and such corruption is approved at the state level, and since the 12th year, that is, for 12 years, this system has been formed, i can hardly imagine when. .. such a team of auditors will come, who will start chasing these generals, officers through the corridors, arresting their there all these cases and so on and trying to start the mechanism so that it is optimized. it seems to me that it would backfire, that everything would stop, any contracts, any purchases could just stop, especially if they were related to some interest, and there everything was, i'm sure, related to ... of interest, let's

mention the golf carts, a couple of thousand of them were purchased there precisely with the blessing of shoigu, and he clearly participated there and received certain funds, although it is a complete delusion to purchase golf cars for the troops, they burn very effectively on the battlefield, that is, i believe that this can lead to the opposite consequences, and in the medium term, of course, negatively affect the combat capability of the russian army, unfortunately, in the short term ... in the future, i think that gerasimov will perform his function quite effectively, and here one should not expect some rapid changes, but in the future, this disturbance of the vertical, vertical and horizontal lines in the connection of the military industry, the ministry of defense, the armed forces, manufacturers, foreign supplies, microelectronics, shahedis and all of this is north korea, all of this is obviously tied up in corruption, i can't even imagine how this is possible. to loosen without causing damage to this

system, that is, i think that here is my proposal, as from the point of view of ukraine, it is very important to strengthen sanctions, in these conditions, when they start to understand the internal changes of defense, the key factor will be the reduction of cash flows , which come to russia, if they have a decrease in the amount or volume of finances, which it is possible to... invest in defense, this will be a huge blow during this transformation process for the russian military , the russian ministry of defense, the ministry of defense, and so on, so for ukraine, for our partners, it is still important to bring to mind all efforts to limit some kind of price bar on oil and so on, so this is a key moment for us now, it seems to me, mr. mykhailo, thank you very much for your... well, sometimes paradoxical, but

extremely interesting assessments for our viewers from the news that is happening now and we have the front line and the enemy. let me remind you that it was mykhailo samus, the head of the of the international analytical organization new geopolitics research network, and these were the main military results of this day, and more new details and current news in vasyl zima's big broadcast, so stay tuned to the espresso channel. i would like to thank serhiy zagorets, and thank his guest for participating in this program, for telling us more, and i will call you. continue to collect you for the needs of the armed forces of ukraine. we have a gathering going on, our goal, let me remind you, uah 630, i will say right away that we have already collected a third. so, no, this, just a second. we ask you to join the collection for

the repair of heavy armored vehicles in the combat zone in the soledar and zaporizhzhia directions. the repair and recovery regiment works mainly. on the contact line or in the gray zone in the open air in any weather day and night, so for emergency recovery and return to the battlefield, damaged military equipment, including tanks, combat vehicles, infantry, armored personnel carriers, need a minibus to deliver to the zone combat operations, mobile repair teams and equipment, as well as pneumo-hydraulic jacks for prompt repair of foreign equipment, our goal is uah 630,000, now i will see how much we have already managed? to collect, well, actually, it is not only us who collect it during the big ether, of course, my colleagues, during the daytime marathon on the espresso tv channel, when my news anchors also voice this information, it is clear that during the day this bank is replenished, and also the eyes will know about this collection on the espresso website, by the way, i

encourage you to join, like, share, comment on our youtube channel espresso espresso because it's important to counter first. hostile disinformation and internally hostile disinformation must also be countered, objective, verified, i.e. checked, confirmed information must be conveyed to viewers, readers, listeners, because now is the time when, as they say, whoever stands up first, the slippers, very often information is given exactly according to this principle, well, but we understand that in times of war , information is very often the price of life, so join us to know, and now i invite you to conversations of volodymyr tsablyuk, he is a political expert, a people's deputy of ukraine of the fourth convocation and also a blogger, mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you, congratulations, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, i think we should start

by talking about the situation in kharkiv oblast, as so it happened that the situation is like this, and not could it have been? differently, and where do you see now, after reading a lot, analyzing a lot, hearing a lot, following certain, as they say, resignations made in an emergency mode very quickly, as you evaluates the preparation, this primarily concerns the political, military leadership and the political military leadership of the region, because it is usual to hang all the dogs on the president, i am also here against this, but there are people. which should be responsible directly for certain areas and not necessarily for banks, you should know where and which dragon's tooth is on each square meter. please rate the preparation, the quality of the preparation, if there were shortcomings, who was to blame here, or is no one to blame, it just happened that way? well, first of all

it is necessary to understand that there are centralized orders, that is, the ministry of defense and the cabinet of ministers order fortification, and there is fortification. which is being built by local forces, with local funds, and here, well, it is necessary to understand where and in which areas, the contracts were not executed centrally, because we see already captured territories, where there are mountains of construction materials, and it is obvious that someone was preparing to build a fortification there, but not i made it, here’s a question, and... to what extent do local authorities engage in eye-rolling in reports to the central government, they all paint absolutely optimistic reports, because the superiors love, so to speak, optimism, but when

you think about it, especially in the kharkiv region, what was the point of the construction of the kharkiv-vovchansk road, who will explain it, well, it was simply necessary to immediately... into the asphalt some amount of money, when in fact the main problem was fortification, by the way, about these dragon's teeth, i think even we can now with... demo photo, let's show you these concrete structures that have been dumped by the road, called dragon's teeth, they should prevent the movement of primarily armored vehicles enemy equipment, these are tanks, not only tanks, this is not only, this is also wheeled equipment, this is the outskirts, the outskirts of liptsi, kharkiv district, there are the remains of fortifications, the so-called toothed dragons is already a comment. on this occasion, oleh synigubov, the head of the kharkiv regional military administration, he

said that these are the remains of 0.4% of the total work on fences of this type, that is, it is far from a strategic number of tetrahedrons, as they are called, which would, according to some bloggers, he says, could theoretically influence the course of the fighting actions dissemination of such disinformation discredits the military and the executors of all defense works. here it is. we have an explanation from a person who, well, obviously by position should be primarily responsible for the implementation of these plans, of course in contact with the commander of the kharkiv operational-strategic group of troops, but the commander was very quickly replaced by the war hero the legendary brigadier general drapata, for some reason also , by the way, general drapaty, he is such a very, i would say, resolute commander. and as we can see, he patched up the situation, but the question is that mr

sinigubov should not hide behind the backs of the military, because he is talking about the fact that someone discredits the armed forces, the officials who discredit the armed forces are precisely those who do not carry out fortification work, and when the troops retreat somewhere, according to the situation with vovchansk, there is generally a blatant situation , because a whole... large territory is not designated there, there were attempts to conduct fortifications of some kind, but everyone complained that it was within 5 km of the border, and russian drones were hanging overhead, that is, to build something so substantial impossible, but in vovchansk itself , it was not possible to build on the outskirts of vovchansk, well, at least a network of fortified points, this is not massive work where... 50 pieces of equipment, that 's one excavator and maybe one crane

that can drive up for 10 minutes and go, that is, in fact, large areas have not been named, large areas have not been prepared for fortification, of course, kharkiv itself was fortified, and here we still need to find out where the work was done by the efforts of the regional administration, and where the work was done by the efforts. hundred fulfilled, i'm not talking about what the military simply does not have enough engineering equipment, and i do not see that the kharkiv region could, well, hand over dozens, for example, of excavators or bulldozers, to the armed forces so that they could build something for themselves, well, this is the military with shovels, in any in any case, according to the information of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, and... the russians were partially pushed out of vovchansk, street battles continue, this is the situation in vovchansk, now

let's discuss the visit of anthony blinkin, it is not a day, he is today, well, i will tell you there a little later in the news release, today also had some activities with together with the minister of foreign affairs, the key purpose of blinkin's visit, well, i can't help but ask, how do you comment on his meeting with business, as they say, without cribs and playing rock guitar . something that everyone is also very actively discussing now, because when you talk about a diplomat of this level, of course, everything matters, but the main message with which, in your opinion, or according to your information, anthony blinken came to kyiv, well, some people think that anthony blinkon came to show off the amount of help which was provided by the usa, finally after six months of repetitions, but it's about... a little about something else, it's about the fact that blinken needs to

find out all the foreign policy points that are swarming in the heads of the ukrainian leadership. what is it about? several major international events are coming up. the first is the g7 summit . immediately after it, the peace summit in switzerland, and after. for him, the anniversary summit of nato, i.e. three important events, which, well, obviously concerns ukraine's perspective. and the position of the kyiv leadership, ukrainian of the current leadership is very important, because there are very strange behavioral motives in the representatives of the ukrainian government, only sydzenpin visited belgrade, the minister of foreign affairs is flying there for some reason, but it is not clear whether it is his visit or the visit of the first lady, he accompanies her , that is, when

it is a cultural visit... of the first lady to the first lady, then why is the minister of foreign affairs there, this is the question, secondly, this is the visit after the visit of sidzenpina to belgrade, so it seems to me that there is a certain anxiety among the partners it arises, or sometimes behind its back, quietly, kyiv does not look for special communication channels with, for example, china. well, first of all, blinden asked what he was doing from what i read yesterday, as they say, there was a question about what the minister of defense is doing in turkey, whether there are any negotiations there that the united states of america, as our partners, does not know about, because they also, i understand, conduct this certain, certain communication, and that, this was an important issue, and the second, you know, this topic

that there might be some negotiations somewhere, a statement the minister of the president of the czech republic, who is helping ukraine a lot now with shells, who says that it is naive to think that ukraine will regain its territories in the foreseeable future, it is possible only through negotiations, well, he then suggested that we support, of course, we will continue to support it, but these words already mean something, they clearly testify to something, well, first of all, it should be recalled that not only the minister of defense scuttled from kyiv, the chairman of the verkhovna rada also scuttled, obviously there was a feeling that eh... secretary of state blinken leads some very serious proposals that must be responded to, including by the minister of defense and the speaker, because at the same time two high-ranking ukrainian officials snubbed turkey, well , this causes a certain amount of mistrust. next, i want to remind you that state secretary blinkin constantly

emphasizes that ukraine is not the only threat. ska aggression, but also ukrainian corruption, and the meeting with business was very important, because no matter how many investment nannies or the state strategic investment program are produced, here the prime minister came out with a statement, that the government formed, 40 seconds, mr. volodymyr, 40 seconds, all this eye candy, because of which i want to remind you that i came to kyiv together with secretary of state blinkin... only a group of inspectors who will monitor american aid to ukraine. well, i hope that there will be a result after this visit, not only about the 2 billion announced by blindin of external military funding for ukraine, not only the patriot system, there will be a result in the fight against corruption, because as he said to a student of kpi, the fight on paper is one thing, but we want a different struggle, because

ukraine, which will live in corruption, can defeat russia, but be similar to russia. thank you very much, volodymyr. political observer, people's deputy of ukraine of the fourth convocation, also a writer and blogger, i thank him for this conversation, well, we will continue to talk about mobilization, in a new way, the law, i remind you, about mobilization comes into force in a few days, on may 18, the rules for serving summonses , that will change, today, by the way , i read a lot of interesting information about it, and oleg simoroz, a veteran of the russian-ukrainian war, mr. olezh, i congratulate you, health. well, let's talk about the fact that the new law on mobilization will come into force on may 18, i read the following information today, which is already being distributed on websites: tsc will not walk the streets, everyone will already be in the electronic register, there will be no need for this, i just have a question right away, and the people who were hiding from being registered, how will they appear in the electronic

register, what will really change from what i know now, at least in kyiv, what say my colleagues who are not standing. on account of huge queues, what will be the result, most importantly pros, cons, mistakes and possibilities? and unfortunately there are almost no advantages here, i will be skeptical of this draft law, although i, as a veteran of the armed forces of ukraine, definitely understand, for my part, i am also trying to find some motivational things for the potential mobilization reserve, for those people who can and should...go to defend their country, but i will say that i am skeptical about the mobilization bill precisely because that he does not change the principles of work, he does not change... what is happening now in tsc, he simply changes some mobilization criteria that were not the main problem, are not now the main problem, or is

the main problem we have now that we have been conscripting people since we were 27 years old, and now we will be from 25, no, is the main problem the fact that a thieving colonel, a military officer, issued a paper summons, and now it will be issued electronically, no, the main problem... it is in the approaches to work, in that , in what is currently happening in tsc. unfortunately, in tsk we see old footage, who absolutely demonstrate their porousness, corruption, unpreparedness for new challenges of this war. unfortunately, this war demonstrates that the human resource is still very important in this war in defense capability. countries, you know, here the words come to mind and now they are speculating very, very much about it, and, for example, they covered my case when i received

a summons, although my tsc had all the documents, the fact that i have a lower limb amputation limbs, i am their military officer, i am removed from the military register, in their public apologies, they all speculated that wounded members serve in the tsk. hostilities, here you know, this is also the main problem, the words of president zelenskyi are mentioned, that the central committee will now be served by participants in hostilities and wounded servicemen, but it was distorted, unfortunately, very much distorted, because these guys got, unfortunately , exclusively rank-and-file positions, they are left to just walk the streets and listen from people, this is... this is dissatisfaction, key decisions, key management actions are taken by the old, the old the cadres we see how they live, we

see their fortunes, and in this context i would like to say that the mobilization bill should not be like this, the changes should not be like this, the first key changes that should be, this is precisely in the reformation of the tsc, i will say more in lustration. tsc, because the gap is very serious and a lot of time has been lost, now there is a very high level of distrust in tscs, so there must be a qualitative reform and there must be appropriate contests for integrity, the leadership of all tscs, their ways of life, must be clearly investigated, and the most important thing, in my opinion, is how their relatives enter the military service, how some of them received which deferrals, from this we would have an understanding of whose contracts can be extended, whose contracts cannot be extended, and most importantly, the ukrainian authorities b

should come out publicly, not to play with some bills with criteria, but to tell people honestly, work with the central committee is blocked, mobilization is blocked, there is a gap between the civilian population and the military population, and we want to fix it, so now a number of changes will be implemented, tsc will... become more open, because there are no secrets there, sorry, the state of health of some young guy is not a state secret, so they can be made more transparent at the level of the centers for the provision of administrative military services, and return the level of trust of the population to the mobilization work of the warring country. unfortunately, the current draft law changes absolutely nothing, er, gives a little more requirements for those. people who are conscripted, but it will only make them angrier, i guess, and i understand that, because people and the population are probably waiting for some

kind of change, when we see these daily, excuse me, well, how to call it, pakaps, problems that occur in our communications between the father and the civilian population, and people would also expect changes, we are veterans, we military personnel are also waiting for a change, because, sorry, we were given something that will arm... in ukraine , we have the highest level of support, we wear a pixel, and those people who have the worst level of support since being accepted by the population, they also wear a pixel, sorry, this is a shadow and throws at us, and it triggers us, as veterans, as military personnel, and in this context, well, unfortunately, i will say that it demonstrates the disconnection of the ukrainian government from reality, from the desire to tell the truth to its people, its population, because that draft law which will come into force now, it... it doesn't change anything, absolutely it wo n't change anything in the current situation that exists, i don't see prospects where we will improve the numbers and quality.

named persons, i simply do not see any prospects for this. you know, regarding communication with society, i remember at one time the poltava and city tsk were very active in communication with society, as far as i understand, they communicated very often, but i see lviv and asykhiv signed on the page on facebook, they run the page, give some messages, distribute something "they explain to people, i don't know how it's different, but at least there is some communication in social networks, i think that not all district... collection centers make such and such a job to do it, because when a person, for example, no one wants to communicate, ot someone wants, someone does it, someone is important, someone is interested in it, and someone does not want to, and then come at such an hour, you come, there is an 8-hour queue, a person has to go to work, no one communicates, does not explain when we work, or we work around the clock, i know people who actually work at vlk and tsc almost around the clock, well, it really is, or when they write that you work around the clock, a person

calls, is it possible? at such and such an hour, and you know that we are not there at all, well, that is , everything begins with this, because people are gathered now a lot is possible, and they already exist, again in tsc, the question is why this work is not fixed, and secondly, it is very important here, now people are on the register who were not on the register, someone is updating the data, someone will update the data after the 18th, it's closed on weekends when people have to, well, people have to earn money while they're in civilian life, and they can't just be there all the time, and that, and if then... more otherwise, after the 18th, everyone must update their data, that is, if you received a summons, relatively speaking on the street and came a month ago, registered with adequate data, nothing has changed in a month, but you have to go again and what, you have to go through the ankle again or something, that is, it will simply overload the service, it will really overload the service, and what to do on the way out, because the goal is a high-quality replenishment of the defense forces, as far as i understand, well, it should be the same, and

they cannot change people who are already really exhausted at the front. to carry out this work, the hard work of war, absolutely, and in principle everything is correct, what you say is some isolated cases in the work of the tsc are positive, someone mentioned, i also know such people in principle, who work around the clock, i know the negative features, which are much more, especially in kyiv, where the reception days at the tsc are only tuesday, thursday in a warring country, well, that i'm sorry, it's just something, well, it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit. just in my head, but what is the problem, so much so, i will say now a break, that even such positive things, and some positive, and by all criteria and in terms of work, conscientious, there are certain regional ones, tsc, it already overlaps to such an extent that the negative, which is that simply society in its own, in its absolute majority, they put a cross on the tsk, it is not accepted,

and now... there are really serious challenges for our state, because we have one of the very important elements of defense capability country, this is a mobilization reserve, it is now standing on a very serious, you know, precipice, where everything is very, excuse me, bad, and i say, in this context, i cannot understand the ukrainian authorities, which do not see these things, do not want to see them , or rather these problems, makes some changes to criteria, despite the fact that... they correctly pointed out that some of them simply reach the point of absurdity, when a person was in the tcc a month ago, he needs to go to the tcc again, er, you know, i am deeply convinced that, unfortunately, now the situation is so bad that it is necessary to go into communication, reformation and lustration and contests for integrity in this service, well, there is no other way, well, wasted time, we, unfortunately, have to put an end to it, i thank you very much, first of all, you joined , and secondly,

the question here is that, i will add, i know many people who work both in vlk and in tsk, people rework, reworking is, if they are paid, then it is once every six months, otherwise they will not be paid, they work there, as they say, on a voluntary basis, that too, well, it is also possible during the war, but these are not the sums that give people the opportunity to live, so there are many problems, i hope that with such joint dialogues we will try to at least point them out and try to change something in this situation with joint efforts, because again, it was oleg simoroz who was very fond of him thank you russian-ukrainian veteran. war, because it is very important that we get the final result, and that the economy works, that there is replenishment and renewal at the front, and it is of high quality, but here we have to exclude many things, and many things must be added, literally in a moment of news, good evening, we are from ukraine, and as i already said, today the enemy struck many cities and

regions of ukraine, it will begin. from the consequences of enemy terror until 19
