it will be this year, and what month, what day, tomorrow or the day after or in august, i think i am not qualified to comment on it, but according to the plans we have, this year should be in ukraine zf-16, let's leave this information, it's intriguing for the russians, i think they should be the first to... feel on their skin that f-16 is in ukraine. how tangible the number will be, of course, without numbers, but eh, aviation fights in pairs, sections, squadrons, so we will start with a smaller one and build up, i think that, as a minimum, we will definitely have a section, at least, well . although

this is the minimum, it can be more. regarding the protection of airfields, how difficult is it to solve the protection of the infrastructure for servicing the f-16, in the conditions of missile attacks, drone attacks, how is this issue solved, what are the problems here? the question is difficult: uh, to defend against aerodynamic targets, we have what we have, and the airfields on which we are now concentrated. on aviation equipment, it shows that almost every night they are attacked by dozens of drones, a lot of cruise missiles fly there, well, cruise missiles are not every night, but when they fly at least 20 flies to the airfield, there is something to fight back, we know how to do it, the only thing that is missing is missiles, if there are no missiles, there is nothing to fight back, even before... sleeping means, they are very, very

useful, because if they, if to arm mobile groups with fire with stingers, then simply these means of destruction that fly deep into ukraine, they will be destroyed on approach, and therefore it will already be relatively safe in depth, as regards, for example, the placement of aircraft, contemporaries that we expect as material and technical assistance. of course it is there will be targets, it will be a very, very important target for the russians, they will try to get them and then promote themselves, look at us, we are already destroying them, they have not done anything yet, and we are already destroying them, unfortunately, with ballistics on today, maybe the sumpty or the patriot can handle it, but the airfields must be covered with precisely these complexes, which... can handle

ballistics, because with ballistics, unfortunately, if the ballistics comes the cassette part, the plane is standing on an open platform, it is at least damaged, eh, if it comes eh a direct hit, even a reinforced concrete shelter, it does not save, it is penetrated and the plane burns, so the biggest problem is the cover of the air bases where the f16 will be based, it should be at least two batteriesod should be, it should be at least two nasa type batteries for to work on aerodynamic targets, on drones, as well as cover the patriot itself from them, and the means of direct cover there are cheetah-type anti-aircraft guns , they also show their effectiveness against cruise missiles, against shaheds, they work very well, i.e. this is... the minimum that is needed is active

protection, i mean, passive protection is a fence, it is technical means, er, movement, there, well, so that a subversive group does not penetrate, it's a regular fence, it's guarded by some specialized security, that's for sure, but the biggest thing we're afraid of is that the russians won't...count the number of daggers and iskanders to hit an f-16 on the airfield. and the extreme question, which concerns gripens, has again become active in the public space of conversation about whether the plans to get these planes and how far are these, let's say, short-term plans? i will make absolutely no secret here, back in 2018, when the visa was written. of the development

of the air force, there were four types of aircraft that we would like to have in service to replace the old aircraft fleet, this is the f16, exactly... the mass aircraft is the grypin, as well as the most philosophically modern aircraft, this is the evrfiter and this is the rafal, the choice was not based on names, but on tactical and technical characteristics, on conditions, conditions of operation, on the quality of ours of the airfield network, the f16 proposed... first, we are currently working on the f-16, we are building the infrastructure for it, there are certain requirements associated with this air intake, it is low and requires increased airfield cleanliness,

secondly we have stand gripi, and all requests to sweden, have also been granted, as well as to the country that has f-16, as well as to the country that has gripen. uh just this process uh is not a priority right now, but we are looking at getting these aircraft because this aircraft is also in terms of its characteristics, and especially, what is important, it will be very, very simplified for us in the sense that the infrastructure for it is already suitable, it is an aircraft that was produced according to the swedish deployment strategy, that is, it can use. even ordinary highways, that is, it does not need any specialized coating, therefore, and it also uses the entire line of western weapons, that is, everything that will be able to be used on f16, can be used on gripins, so we are of course where on all sites where it is

possible, we are talking about what we are are interested in receiving, especially in the vision and already in the strategy that has been developed. uh, this year of development is also written that we would like to have f-16s and gripens in service. thank you, mr. general, for an interesting and thorough conversation and thank you for finding time for us. well, i would like to end this interview with a phrase that we love, and it is said by our commander, general tetyana talischuk, victory on the ground is forged in the air, we will have an advantage in the air. unequivocally, our fighter will carry the flag across the land of victory until borders of the 91st year, together to victory, thank you, what is bahmud? bahmud

topics of the week: russia's war against ukraine, the war in the middle east, the crisis on the border between ukraine and... poland, topics that cause resonance in our society: drone attacks on kyiv and other cities of ukraine, drone attacks on moscow and other russian cities. processes that change the country and each of us. the country should get the right to start negotiations on joining the eu. vitaly portnikov and guests of the project, we are bored, because there is nothing to fight about. let's make it up. they help to understand the present and predict the future. for the world, a second trump presidency will be terrifying. a project for those who care and think. political club. every sunday at 20:10 at espresso.

every week, maria gurska meets with the head of the committee on foreign affairs of the polish sejm, the representative of the polish government for the restoration of ukraine, pawel koval. as always, we talk about the most important things that happened this week in poland, ukraine, europe. what is being said about ukraine in the eu, how should we perceive the statements of european politicians and what will our accession to the eu look like. in the project close to politics, close to the world with maria gurska. every sunday at 15:30 the second at 220 in cooperation with seestre eu. friends, congratulations, the mykolaychuk open festival has started in chernivtsi, it is a film festival that shows its audience cinema, that is, at the same time intelligent and one that brings great audience satisfaction, and it seems to me that... one of the few festivals in ukraine, which has exactly such a direction, because in most of them still want

to show such a serious author's film at the festivals, we still have the odessa film festival on our nose, also a festival that has always positioned itself as an art stream festival, that is , again, it is a smart art film, but which is understandable to the general public, i usually during this period am very jealous of people who live in chernivtsi, and the fact that they can see all these pictures that are not yet available, in fact, in cinemas or on television, and today we will tell you what it is for the tapes, together with the program director of the festival alexom melyshenko, he will join us in 10 minutes and talk about these tapes, i am especially interested in the closing tape about nazarii yaremchuk, we generally have enough, you know, now... ukrainian music of the 60s is in trend x, the 70s, it's been called

mustache funk, for a few years now, like when the supercat movie with that name came out, because there was no such name for this music before, now it's called mustache funk, and i want to tell you what's going on there are a lot of events where young musicians songs of that time are played, and they gather just a huge number of viewers, this is one of the super trends. and if you look at these fascinations of ukrainians with different periods of the development of ukrainian culture in this way, you can also deduce other supertrends, this is, for example, the literature of the 20s, it is called either the same 20s, or the shot revival, who likes it, there are certain disputes, which is better, but in the end we see behind the success of taras tumenko's tapes, the house is an endless novel, which... debates continue around this tape, some call it brilliant, others say no, phew, there are such

cardboard characters, but until now these arguments continue, i think it's very cool, another trend is, i think, dissidents, because probably what you could see the furore that took place at the exhibition dedicated to alla horska at the ukrainian house in kyiv, the artist, few people knew about this... artist, although she is outstanding, although she had just a super interesting life, she is one of vasyl's closest friends stusa was there, and she was killed, that's enough such, well, not mysterious circumstances are tragic enough and these are the ones that should be understood, i would wait for a film about aluhorska, it would be an enthusiastic film, if it was shot in a cool way, and that's why... we see these trends, and in particular, i think that a lot of

people will come to see the film about nazarry yaremchuk, because again, this topic is very relevant. well, before talking about this movie, there are many other movies, and i will tell you about the epic of this week about pitching in the state cinema, because they are focused on, well simply of the entire ukrainian film community and those people who are interested in ukrainian cinema in general, who worry about it and the... future, i will say that, well, in general, there is such a division of the film community in our country, some, mainly those people who are engaged in commercial cinema, they tend to support de. cinema, others who are engaged in more authorial, more serious cinema, if we generalize like this, then they are in terrible opposition to the state cinema, for two years to be exact, they first demanded the dismissal of the head of the state cinema maryna kuderchuk, calling her incompetent, but then many people agree that

nothing will change with that, with this dismissal, even if it happens, because let's say , marina. derchu almost does not solve anything, and according to rumors, you know, andriy yermak manages all the processes in one way or another, because this is also happening in many other areas, and therefore we have to put up with the fact that now there is a greater emphasis on supporting commercial cinema and to support the television product, i.e. for funding, for state funding, in particular, many of our tv presenters...colleagues who make series, who make documentary television publicity, and not documentary films, which can be presented at various film festivals, claim. now you can see excerpts from the contests that have been held in the state cinema, these contests, i think, are the most scandalous in the entire history of the holding, this is the 19th pitching of the state agency

for cinema affairs, and again a huge number of filmmakers are against this contest, they are boycotting it is called: illegal, and that's actually, but when these contests were already over, and then it became clear that they, well, we still don't understand whether these contests were really illegal, but the council for state support of cinema is definitely illegitimate, the courts have been going on for a year to prove it, finally they finally proved it , i will tell you why this council is so important for ukrainian cinema, because it is the council for state cinema. it's responsible for distributing public money for film production, the board members, they're responsible for determining who wins the film, who doesn't, and this board has woven its powers even a year ago, even more than last march, and this whole year the nobility held on to their seats with the help of the management of derzhkino,

for some reason they were very important for derzhkino, and in particular, yuriy is a member of the council. gorbunov, as well as artem kolyubaev, a long-time partner of andriy yermak, and now everything is recognized that these people are not legitimate, without these people, without the council, it is impossible to determine who will be the winner of this pitching, and that is why there are now big discussions in the film community, and these people who came to this competition will still determine the winners there, or this whole one the contest, which lasted a week, is also recognized as illegitimate. and we will have to announce a new competition, i would like to remind you that this year a record amount was allocated for ukrainian cinema, it is almost 590 million hryvnias, again there are debates around this, because part of the film community says that let's give all this money to the needs of the defense forces, they are great understand

that cinema is important, that cinema is also a weapon, but also cultural diplomacy and all that and a means of influence, but they say that this competition, even in this form, will not be fair, it will not effective, the money will be distributed to those films that, let's say, will not have effectiveness, neither culturally, diplomatically, nor any other, and therefore they propose to either announce another competition, re-electing the head of the state cinema and the council, or give this money to the defense forces , if nothing else is done. well, we will wait for further steps, further decisions, i will tell you, of course, that there are many people who oppose money, state money in general, to be allocated, for example, to cinema, to tv series, and i will note remind you that the state is now also gravitating towards supporting tv series, and i will say that this

and that idea are quite controversial, because we saw this scandalous pitching, scandalous... competition from the ministry of culture last year, do you remember these smt ingulets and sanatorium nezabudka and everything else, others, others, but these series started to appear in the new year, you can check them on the youtube channel, tv channel dim, see their quality, i will say that some series are really not bad, but most of them - after all, it is absolutely no different from other series of rather low quality, which are usually shown on tv in our country'. therefore, personally , i don't really understand why this was state funding, because if we allocate money for tv series from the state budget, okay, then it's obviously a product. which is filmed for this money, should be alternative, should be a little different, should be more artistic, more intelligent, more original, but this does not

always happen, and here at derzhkino, too, is going to allocate money for serials in particular, but again, i i repeat that the whole story is in question, but now we will move on to the mykolaychok open festival, because... again, festivals are very important now, i'll tell you why, because, for example, you live in chernivtsi, so first of all, it's the holding of such festivals, it seems to me like and any cultural events, very important for non-kyiv, because we still have such cultural centralization, and almost all cultural events are interesting, important, take place in kyiv, there are really a lot of them, they gather people, they unite. people around different ideas, for example, the other day there was a big presentation of artem chech's new book, many people came, it's really interesting, the protasy festival is about to start, and

there are much fewer such events in other cities, and ukrainians all over ukraine, both in regional centers and in smaller cities, need to get to know each other with the ukrainian mitsyas, they need to go there, and here is this story from... open is exactly that story, because i will also remind you that if you have not been to film festivals, they not only show films, first of all, films not only show, but usually they're presented by the authors, and then you can stay to talk to the authors, and there's a lot of different events where just people come, actors, directors, and meet their audience. for example, this will happen today with larisa kadochnikova, she will communicate with her fans at 6 p.m., this is all

planned, i strongly advise you to come and not miss such a chance, ask ms. larisa, she can not just talk about her life, she can tell in principle about the history of ukraine for many decades, and therefore, and therefore, of course you are encouraged to do this. i will ask if we have already contacted alex malyshenko, who is the program director of the film festival, actually he is the person who is engaged in selecting the program and the selection of the films that you will watch at it, and now we are, i do not promise that we will have time to talk about all the tapes that are presented at this festival, but we will talk about a part, maybe not the brightest ones. alex, hello, can you hear me? hi hi. i hear you well, oh great, it's already on the logo, by the way, how are the preparations going on, because the first day is, it's very difficult, well, it's not the first

day yet, that is, the first day will be tomorrow, and we are currently finishing everything that we need to edit, we check all the files, well, in short, we deal with very boring things that no one will ever see, and this is probably the magic of the film festival, when you do something like that, then... people just come, sat down, watched the film, as if as it should be, as if it was simply plastered on, well, this is important for the audience, because i will tell you where it is bad organization, there the films start 20 minutes later than necessary, 30, sometimes, and then you don’t have time to run to another film, and the catavasia begins, let’s run through the films, i suggest, just as i was talking about yaremchuk, that’s how it will be closing film, please tell me what kind of film it will be? i just, maybe i didn't search well, i didn't find a trailer or any excerpts, but please tell us so that we understand what kind of film it will be, it will be a documentary film and what its

features will be, what it will be about to tell, a well, yes, it’s a documentary about nazarry yeremchuk, which tells about his life, there are a lot of unique archival footage taken from the ukrainian archives, his personal archive, there are acquaintances of his there who... worked with him, which actually also tell about the person of nazarria, and this is such a, well, the action plot is actually a story about how a superstar stands against the system, which is trying to somehow monitor her, break it, which is afraid that they are too popular there, well, this actually happened with ivan mykolaichuk, which our a snitch, and who was probably a sex symbol of ukrainian poetic cinema, but the ardyan authorities mostly if... they gave him roles of chekists there or communists, because there is such a story there, they said that if he played someone from the upa, it would be too attractive, kind of scoundrel for ordinary people. and this

tape by nazarriy yaremchuk is, in principle , part of the episodes from knai media, which are made by maksym serdyuk, who is actually also known as the editor-in-chief of the publication sluh pro muzik, and that's why their new tendencies towards documentary and knowledge of ukrainian came together interestingly here music, which they have already, well, expertise, which they have accumulated for years. yaremchuk an incomparable world of beauty, the name of this film is... a song by yaremchuk, i suggest you listen to it now, by the way, youth is fat, an incomparable world of beauty, cheremoz sings a song with waves, the patras burn on the meadowsweet, as if it is blooming, dream of joy and happiness in they are mine, i think there will be

many more such songs in the film, i want to go to one of my favorite films in your program, i have already watched it, and i urge everyone to watch it on the big screen, because there is a very the picture is really cool, the cinematography, and it is desirable to watch it on the big screen, forever, forever by anna boryachkova, a film that many of us are already discussing, as always , it starts with a great picture, but there may be a plot and kra, well, it's ours. on normal moments, i really hope that this film will also cause various controversies and discussions, it is always, it is always good for the film, but the film is about the 90s in particular, and many directors, female directors say, don't call our film about the 90s a film about 90s, because it is there is a story about characters, but after all , it all takes place in the 90s, tell us what kind of 90s it shows, because our viewers in

this... it scares us away, because it says that it was ugly there, everything, everything was poor , we don't want to watch it, it seems to me that this film is not like that, tell us about its style and about its message itself, because it is about violence in particular, ugh, yes, well, you know, it seems to me that it is already from ukrainian films you can make the timeline of the 90s like this, start with the rhinoceros there, when the 90s are just starting, or with you love me, whatever happens. the collapse of the soviet union at the beginning and already ending there with a half-assed aunt, or forever forever, it’s already the late 90s, and they really don’t play a super big role here, here they go, it’s about eternal themes, about the desire to be part of a group, about teenage violence, about violence in personal relationships, well, about love, about first crushes and about

the general feeling of oneself in this. and its borders, and this film, well, its events take place in the 90s, because it is such a time that dramatizes these topics a little, but you can it is quite possible to imagine him in 20 or 21 years or there in the zeros or in the tenths. well, yes, if i didn't know that it was in the 90s, it wouldn't catch my eye, so don't be afraid, who is afraid of the 90s, don't be afraid of this, please, in this film, the steppe of marina vroda is next. there are films that you may not even like, i won't say that you won't like marina's film, it's just that there are films that you just have to watch, because they have some original film language, or they are films that have received various awards , well, it is necessary just to get acquainted with the film, which was really recognized both here and abroad, please tell me, because the film is really difficult, marina is a difficult director. i'll

just remind you, friends, marina vroda, a long time ago we first heard about her as a winner at the cannes film festival, her short film cross won an award at the cannes film festival, here marina shot the steppe, which also received awards, and tell me, please, what exactly is the artistic value of this tape, and how and... it is possible does the viewer need to prepare to watch this film? well, yes, this is not a film where there are many events and a lot of action, this is a film that requires a certain trust in the director and in her pace of the story, and only then will you be able to enter this world and stay there, it is interesting that there are rising question.
