what does your example show, how do you avoid these problems? and look, we do, we have, ah, this, well, in general, technical support, and communication with the military directly, we have different people from the company, both developers and people from the client department, go to the front, communicate with the military, see their needs firsthand, and sometimes go out and test it in combat conditions, fortunately with drones it is not so difficult. and i myself go periodically, test, look at the results, make corrections constantly, but this is not enough either, we now we are greatly expanding this client department, conditionally such a department, which will communicate specifically not with buyers, but with users, that is, with the military, and here it is important to be relevant, well, actually due to trips to the front, due to constant communication with the military, we

somehow manage to hold on, because the bigger our company is, the more difficult it will be to keep this relevance, because it is very simple to make rapid changes in a production that is there, where two people work there, it is one minute, a production where 10 people work there, 50, 100 people, it is already much more difficult, but we are trying to gain relevance, make relevant drones, move ahead of schedule, ah, and well, i hope that it will succeed, and it seems that it is succeeding. here, a good indicator is how much the military themselves want to buy your drones, because often, as i like to say, in order to sell drones to the state, the state does not need to make super-class drones, but simply communicate well with the state, have good lawyers and at least some drones , because there , well... there can be no actual examination,

because objectively, a person who is engaged purchases, should get expertise, and not understand what to buy herself, get expertise from those who use it, unfortunately, it works for a very long time, so, that's why, ah, we have this indicator, fortunately, it is quite high, but still, it's not enough for me, it can be increased constantly, ah, and sometimes there are problems that people buy not what they... need, especially new units, when they equip themselves for the first time, but we change, change , we explain to volunteers that not always a cheap drone is cool, or not always an expensive drone is cool, because someone has to fly for 3 km, and someone for 25 km, ah, well, we teach ourselves, and the industry, and in general, how we try to listen and tell, as we see it in production. and you use such

a conveyor, conveyor approach to assembly, when, relatively speaking, each worker performs some operation, it was said that it takes 36 minutes for one drone, these indicators are still kept with you, are there enough, let's say, well, opportunities , to scale such approaches? yes, look, and it is clear that the more it will be orders... the more efficiently production can work, because the more we can fake the assembly process itself, and now the efficiency is quite high, plus now we are retraining new people, it is as if such a constant process, and the efficiency will also increase, but i i am almost sure that it has almost reached some kind of peak, if we are talking about the technological process that we have now, but... fortunately, we are not standing

still, we are now making big changes in the drone itself, and these changes in the drone will entail changes in the technological process of production, that is, if we add homing, it will increase the early production of the drone, but it will also increase its efficiency, and conventionally , the drones that we will make there in a few months will be, well, radically different from the drones that we made a few months ago, so if we say... about an ordinary 8-inch drone, like the one that is assembled in many factories in china, in russia, and in ukraine, then there, i think, we have one of the highest efficiencies because simply, well, because of the digitalization of the process and through training, as it is not of the personnel, but as it is in private companies, it is correct to say, people, because of the knowledge and motivation of the employees, and here we literally have a moment. can you add a little bit of detail

to the capabilities of this drone with homing, this means that in fact the enemy's rap means will be powerless against your model. yes, it is, this is actually, here is a very brief summary of what we have in our plans, we have plans in the next month to completely switch to all homing drones, i think it will be like this a major change on the front, it will also be daytime homing from various companies, not only ours, it will be our night homing, i hope it will also be presented not only on our drones, but also the main thing is that it is the key to the autonomy of the battlefield, that is, our main goal is that there is no person within 10 km. from our side on the battlefield, and it is clear that there will be no one left from their side either, there is a key for this, yes, oleksiy, thank you very much, thank you very much for what you are doing for our country, let me remind you that this is oleksiy babenko, the founder and head of the veri drone company, which supplies modern drones for the armed

forces of ukraine. these were the main military results of this day, then the broadcast will be continued by vasyl zima. thank you very much to serhii ogerts, thank you to his guest, we continue, a lot of interesting and important information is ahead of you, i expect, of course, money during the war with oleksandr murchevka, current, urgent topics of tariffs, the government allegedly says that they are not talking about raising taxes, at least this is not what we are talking about, supposedly, but how much will the tariffs increase, will it help to prepare effectively for the winter, what kind of winter will it be and will we really... be able to pull out another two years after those capacities that were lost as a result of enemy attacks specifically on electricity generation, first of all , the situation is very difficult, and the situation with taxes is also very difficult, and we are also waiting for the speech of the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, after he

took part in the celebrations dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the landing of allied troops in normandy during the second world war the president is meeting with the president of france, his colleague emmanuel macron, and after that there should be a press conference in the yosemite palace, we will definitely show it live and give you the opportunity to hear the speech of volodymyr zelenskyi, and now we will talk about what is happening inside ukraine , let's talk about the kharkiv region, we will be contacted by bohdan tkachuk, deputy of the kharkiv city council, mr. bohdan, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, i will first of all ask about the security situation, at least for the last day, so... enemy strikes on kharkiv, kharkiv oblast, how did this day, night, day pass, please, well, almost a week, the city of kharkiv itself was not fired upon, there was an attempt to attack the shaheds, well , rockets were flying all over ukraine that night, you know that, and the shaheds tried to break through , but the city of kharkiv itself

was not affected, i.e. there are no reports of the destruction or damage of houses there or the dead and injured, it is already... well, almost a week kharkiv is recovering from the month when tyrikhov counted 76 strikes in a month on kharkiv with rockets, shaheds , including lancets, i.e. all the entire nomenclature with which the russian invaders could reach our city, well, that's why i can say so briefly, every day the city is a little more alive, there are more cars on the roads. there are no traffic jams yet, but there is already dense traffic, things that were destroyed are being restored, and people, supermarkets, shops, all this, you know, literally came to life a little in a week, because the month before that was difficult, many people left, people were so

afraid once again to go out somewhere and, let's say, tried to find each other more somewhere closer to shelters or not leaving the houses at all, well, that's the trend. but now the old thing is a little easier, and for that the usual thanks both to our armed forces, first of all , and to the authorities of the united states for the permission they did not give to hit the russian objects in the belohorod region, well, we all saw the rocket that was burned by the precise impact of the launcher the russian s-300 system was launched there, and the s-400 was actually ballistics, which flew over kharkov very well, burned down very well. it was a good blow, this is a consequence of the fact that when it is possible to hit with high-precision weapons with a high level of destructive power, it immediately somehow becomes calmer in kharkiv, but in any case, kharkiv continues to be effectively on the front line and for a long time kharkiv has been under

constant shelling, infrastructure facilities, some private , some are state-owned, but the housing of citizens is also suffering, as it is now... since the summer, but it is still necessary to rebuild and repair what is possible. applications in kharkiv oblast have increased by 50% . there is a restoration program under the program. does it work, i know. that you are directly behind... residential economy, you know, you see, at least on some example and you have access to information somewhere, and what about others, here are these applications, they get feedback, money comes in, or somehow it works differently, please, well, it’s a difficult situation, i’ll tell you this , 23rd year, 22nd, 23rd year, when this program appeared, and restoration, as well as certificates for destroyed housing, they began to be issued, and our... head of the military administration constantly reported on the number of issued , about what

is being done, after that there was silence, ah, money, as far as i understand, on in this program they stopped being counted, maybe now they are being restored, i don’t have exact information, but the situation was that this program was being slowed down, maybe it worked somewhere, but not as massively as it was there in the 23rd-22nd year, then yes... a year ago, what else can be added, city programs, let's say, we had programs from the city of kharkiv on restoration, for example, in my house literally a week later they already came, took measurements from the broken windows there, and the city council took, inserted these windows, the door, everything is broken, what was the application, it was restored, funds were allocated, but this spring it became difficult, this is stated. fact and that's why the application has been pending since january and still no one has come, the windows there

were broken in the last explosions in my house and they were not replaced, this is already a practical example, that's why it slowed down here, i understand that there is not enough money, i understand that the number of shellings increased, especially in the last month or a half, and many were injured, many were destroyed, and the lack of funding is the first, let's say so, the first reason, but... we'll see how it goes, the president promises various renewal programs there, and we in the city council there are thinking about how it can be done, i submitted some projects, applications there, we are now dealing with this issue and whether it is possible there to prepare for the winter or something else , we had some co-financing programs with the city to update them, that is, the work is going on, but still, i feel a lack of funds at least this spring, winter , spring, that is, the program is really working. now there are problems in the budget, we have a gap between needs and revenues that could

cover these needs were 200 billion, there we said somewhere about a month ago, well, these are huge sums, hryvnias, i mean, of course, 200 billion, these are huge sums that are lacking, then obviously there is not enough for these needs, but in addition to the restoration of housing, in addition to the fact that, well, it is good that people are applying, maybe someone now has... the funds to restore or to spend some time somewhere, but again , there are many people, the situations are different, there are very difficult situations, but in relation to communal all enterprises, networks that provide electricity, heat, water, pumps that pump, sewage treatment, everything that should ensure the vital activity of the city, without saying any details, because the enemy always wants to hear what is not working there, or what where can we still aim, that's why we don't know, of course, we won't say anything to anyone... but the question is how much work is going on here, they are fixing what needs to be fixed,

they are restoring somewhere, well, for the city to live, that's the most important thing, in this situation the city must function, because a living city is a bone of throats of the enemy, and a city that ceases to pulsate with life is of course a completely different situation, unfortunately, please, i can state a fact that has not changed for the past two years, that in the city of kharkiv hot water is supplied, cold water is supplied, that is, heating, there is will this be enough for heating in the winter, of course not, because our mains are broken, and as for electricity, it is of course difficult, we have lost all the energy production power of the power industry, say, in the city of kharkiv, and therefore everything that we use now is knocking on us from other regions of ukraine, and this is also a problem, and the city is also dealing with this , and not only it, but i will not go on. say what and how, what else can be added? yes, well, all structures are working, the subway is working,

transport is working, yes, various social services, all this is there, the maximum range of services is provided for the citizens, in kharkiv, the problem is such that it can be voiced, it is a common problem of entrepreneurs, because taxes are high , ah, insurance, let's say, uh, companies do not issue insurance for... such cases, if there is an impression that the rocket is something else, they they believe, well, it is not covered, yes, this is a very serious point, loans, no, because we are a front-line zone here and entrepreneurs cannot get loans. since, let's say, in central ukraine or in kyiv, that's why, let's say, discrimination for business, and against this background, the desire for it to stay here, to recover, to do something else there, well, it really sucks, on the other hand, we see our broken the printing house, yes the printing house, and now they say that they will restore the owners

, they help there, where the president came and everything else, this is very good, but still we do not have only. we also have others, we have a meat processing plant there, which was destroyed, yes , it is called a meat processing plant there, and they burned down the shunt, there are other enterprises that suffered, and in such conditions it is extremely difficult to revive it all, there are proposals in the verkhovna rada, there will have to be, the deputies voiced the other day, this is what we conveyed to them, we had a meeting here, the deputies of the verkhovna rada came, we told them, well, raise the question, is there a sumy, kharkiv, donetsk region, or is it possible to have some taxes in general to be simplified in these regions, so that... somehow, even if the business survives, it is difficult for us here because of the bedding, we are also our own state, our banks, as much as possible, let's say this, are pressing and more, really the issue of business survival is key, and i understand that this people in power are also beginning to understand that without funding from the budget it is very difficult to finance the army and continue the war only with the help

of our partners, very briefly, what is possible, i know that this problem exists in many smaller cities, when contused and wounded soldiers return from the front. traumatized and somewhere municipal assistance, maybe it exists, financial, somewhere some kind of rehabilitation, maybe with employment, well, at least there is a program where you can come, contact the officials, they will advise you, prompt you, or just give you some one-time, but help, something similar works in kharkiv , of course it works, the city hall has programs, our mayor deals with it directly, commissions deal with it, utility companies, all that can be provided is help. to the children of fallen soldiers, this is aid to the military, there is also recovery, funds are allocated for this, this was literally the last session, and this issue was also raised there, no one said that we don’t have money or anything else, but they asked our servicemen for summer camps for the injured children there, funds will be allocated for this, it never happens at all

question, for this we will always find for our military, the city does everything it can... well, definitely, i thank you very much for joining, thank you for your comments, bohdan tkachuk, deputy of the kharkiv city council, was with us on connection, but now let's continue to talk about money, about taxes, the question hour for the government was held in the verkhovna rada of ukraine, certain statements were made and the deputies received answers to questions, oleksiy goncharenko should join the conversation, we are waiting for the moment when he will appear in etheri, i already see mr. oleksiy and... you will also see now, and i congratulate you, mr. oleksiy, oleksiy goncherenko, people's deputy of ukraine, well, i want, good evening, good evening, i want to ask about this statement, well, a few days we will discuss the increase in taxes, because this topic has been raised, tax increases in certain areas, in certain sectors, certain types of taxes, and then also for

fops, well, everyone understands everything from one side, but you have to understand how to live with it, how it is... if there is an increase, then how much, is it necessary, whether the business will survive, and what kind of communication is taking place with the government in order to understand the real state of affairs in the country, and with the economy, and with needs and opportunities, the most important thing. i doubt our government understands the real state of affairs given the actions they are taking. here you speak, the government speaks, we do not plan on raising taxes, who submitted to the verkhovna rada a bill on raising excise taxes on fuel, for example, essentially, what are excise taxes on fuel, they are prices for everything, then if today gasoline, diesel, liquefied natural gas, gas will rise in price, and there on per liter by

a few hryvnias, what the government proposed, they succeeded in defeating their version there, but they still... pushed through one of the versions and are still preparing it for the second reading, then the same will be reflected in everything in the country, these are taxes, and this will be another blow to the economy, look what's happening with electricity supply, this is not only a huge inconvenience and problems for ordinary citizens, it is a disaster for business, literally half an hour ago a person wrote to me, i don’t know, he is writing, but i have a company in which... well, the company is small, six people, but with this we are not able to work anymore, well, that's all, because when we start some equipment there, we can't start it, work on generators, we... are able, even at this fuel price, it becomes absolutely unprofitable, well, that's all, and so on in the country there are many, so i don’t understand at all what kind of tax increase we can talk about today,

it will simply finish off, destroy jobs completely, it will lead as a result not to an increase in budget revenues, but to a decrease in them, so i am categorically against it , our government does not have an economic policy, for any question... you ask, well, you bring us, let's increase excise taxes on fuel, and this is calculated, well, tell us how inflation will change, how this one is not calculated , well, we think so it will pass, well, if, well, you know, you want to, train on the cats, well, what are you doing, here and everything is breathing smoothly, our entire economy and our entire business, so, well, i absolutely do not understand what is doing... our government , here, you know, the key question is, well, what is the reason, i don’t know, it’s like that, you know,

you can talk about it for a long time, but now many people are mobilizing it, and the army needs troops, the people’s deputy stated yesterday that , that the number of people that can be mobilized in 2024 is no longer 500,000, which he spoke about earlier, president volodymyr zelenskyi, it was about 120,000... i understand, these are all those who were mobilized during the year, because the mobilization did not start yesterday and not after the adoption of the law, people were also mobilized before that, that is, it is difficult here, it the question is that there is an understanding of how much can be paid, and again, the key reason is that now there are significant gaps in the economy with revenues and expenses, and problems with electricity, problems with the fact that tariffs will be increased, and again, the issue of taxes, i think that the government does not care about it will return what is the problem, is it a combination of problems, is it unprofessionalism, unpreparedness, misunderstanding of what can happen, what can happen, please, it is obvious that

increased mobilization also hits the economy, because people are taken away from the real sector, and directly on the front line, as for this figure of 120,000 people, you know, i don't understand at all sometimes these statements , first 500 thousand people, why 500, how is it calculated? it was uh and who knows in advance what will happen, well, they are now saying 120, and why 120? well, these are all just some numbers taken from the ceiling, and that's all i can say and confirm, the mobilization has already increased - due to restrictions, i can't name certain numbers, but the mobilization in may will already be significantly greater. will not be, there is already significantly more than it was in april, eh, we will see what will happen in june, and it is obvious that this will also have economic consequences, in terms of miscalculation, i

miscalculation, as i said, in absolutely nothing, i just want us all to understand that the aggregate, you know, for the economy right now, for any business, this is just a perfect storm, as they say, that is , there are significantly fewer people to work with. it is more difficult to find people because of the disaster with electricity, which means they want to raise fuel prices even more, they want to increase taxes, the security forces have absolutely not reduced their appetites, and there is a feeling that it is like the last day, well, ask any businessman, well, they are just storming everyone , racketeering and so on, well, i don't know, well, it should... be really about some kind of incredible economic heracles, so that everything it is to endure such heracles, god forbid there will be, but many will simply

close down and stop their work, which means that people will lose their jobs, people will lose their salaries, how to survive, people will again look for the opportunity to leave the country, because if there is no work, then we lose people, and this will also affect the taxes from which we actually finance this army, so i don't... i don't want to just inflate this one now, because numbers are needed, i'm just asking to our government time after time together with what is necessary all this is to sit down and calculate, and every time they offer something, well, there is no calculation, everything is kind of broken, here we are, so we stimulate industrial parks, and right there we are there, well, we make the decisions about which i said, but who is in these industrial parks, what is the point in stimulating them, if there is no one... will work, ah, and energy will be at such a price that no business there will extract, that is, it will be absolutely any vectors in different directions, which go, well

, actually. as far as i understand it should give the short-term effect is primarily for the front in the sense of strengthening people, we hope after all people more or less professional, trained and physically fit to perform certain tasks, people will perform the tasks for which they are, which they are capable of performing, again with effectiveness for the front, because in any case , any mobilization first of all aims to strengthen the effectiveness of the front, and in achieving those tasks there are obstacles, now it will be a difficult summer, the military is talking about this, sirskyi is talking about this with his head, there is no secret here , too is gathering strength, but this short-term effect, do you think it will last until the fall or longer, well, there must be a plan b, in any case there must be a plan b, do the deputies now have the opportunity to demand at least the development of this plan b, let it be in the specialized committees, let it somehow, well, the time will come when you will have to pay, vasyl, vasyl, what are we talking about, and when the verkhovna rada on tuesday, on my initiative , voted to summon the verkhovna rada to

the minister from within. klymenko's affairs, there were specific questions, questions about mobilization emergency services, an absolutely crazy decision, what are we going to do without rescuers and firefighters, i can't understand at all, that's why i'm categorically against it, i registered a bill that could fix it, well as part of that, so a question to ask the minister of the interior about this , and there was another question, our national guard suddenly decided that they would not release from military service those who were captured in case of... their wish, although the verkhovna rada clearly voted for such a law, the national guard decided for themselves that they somehow they will be themselves only those who are now being exchanged, and those who were not before, well, this is also a completely strange story, well, one of these issues, after this one raised it there specifically about the national guardsmen, it was already resolved, already there they understood that, well so there is no way to do it at all, it means they looked it over, it means there was some kind

of error, they say well... well, but according to the state of emergency , nothing happened, so i wonder why klimenko never came to the verkhovna rada, he appeared today only on the conciliation council, and this is a very narrow circle of communication, and we are not either heard the public answers to these questions, it's about what the verkhovna rada has plan b, the plan, when we call an official, they don't even come, the leader has been there for a few weeks or a few months, i don't remember anymore, we're waiting , that is, the verkhovna rada lost any subjectivity. even if someone has some kind of plan b, they will definitely not tell us about it, but my feeling is that there would be no plan, and this is a problem, the state cannot exist like this, and in principle, this is what kuleba said there, he said it publicly, we have a plan no, he says, and it’s like, well , we’re proud of it, even though it’s crazy, despite all the nuances that are always present in any big case, just like the case of mobilization, the case of war always has nuances, that’s not the case here , but

when... some enterprises, organizations are booked, which in principle have nothing to do with critical things, at the same time we know what the emergency services are, they are our heroes who save people who risk their lives, who come to the places of shelling, coming under repeated shelling very often, but they come to save people, because they cannot but save them, and them, if they are missing, and i will be very brief, literally for a minute, but in less than a week the global peace summit will begin. in bürgenstock in switzerland, will you go there, do you have such an opportunity and which of the deputies can go there and what to expect? well, this question was put to speaker stihanchuk, he said that there are no plans for the participation of people's deputies there at all, even i understand him that way, well, anyway, that's what he said, that's why it without the verkhovna rada will pass, and as for this summit, look, well, of course i really want it to be successful, but i have to be frank with you, i have great doubts

about it, and i said about it at the very beginning , i don’t really understand at all, well, that is, if there is our idea that someone will gather somewhere and say that putin has left, well, they would say a million times that putin has left, he is not going to go anywhere, everything is decided by the balance of power, and well, especially now, when we already know that china will not be there at this summit, other countries, well, i don't have high expectations, unfortunately, from this summit, it's objective, as all our diplomatic efforts should be directed at me. you are on the other side, to drag western troops into ukraine. this is really what can change the balance of power in ukraine and what needs to be done. thank you very much for your comments. thank you for joining. oleksiy goncharenko, people's deputy of ukraine for european solidarity, was in touch with us. well, and also we expect, we hope that this will happen in the near future on the statement.
