ukraine has been trying to establish a process of voluntary recruitment into the ukrainian army, so that everyone can choose a position and choose where he wants to serve. at the same time , questions or problems arise in some places, and today a representative of the armed forces of ukraine explained to us how letters of recommendation work. the fact is, if you have already decided on the part where you want to serve, where you want to defend ukraine, you need a letter of recommendation, if this part is a priority, then there will be no problems must at the same time, there are also letters of recommendation from the rear units, and then there is already a question of joining... and for a letter of recommendation to the rear units , you must have some valuable experience, you must have some exceptional abilities, so that this voluntary joining the army does not turned into evasion of service, that's what we were told today, and how these

letters of recommendation work, let's hear from a representative of the armed forces of ukraine. the commander of the military unit addresses, accordingly , through his supervisor to... the general headquarters, where he receives permission to attract such a citizen to this military unit, such a permission is not granted to all categories of citizens, but only to those who have very important, scarce specialties, have acquired very valuable experience in civilian life, which is needed precisely in such units, is such specialists who need to be trained in advertising in order to recruit for military service. i would like to note that there are already two full-time recruiting centers, specifically from the armed forces of ukraine, from the naval forces and from the special operations forces, and today we were announced that are forming two more of these for ground and

amphibious assault troops. in addition , the loby x platform works, where you can also choose a position in an online format and ask yourself what it is, and a representative from loby x said that in general, since the summer of 2022 , they already have 135,00 applications from volunteers, among them 23 % are applications for combat positions, 6% of all applications were sent by women, and another 20% are actual applications from military personnel for those positions in which it was possible to transfer and re-select a position in another part. actually, in general they work with more than six hundred different units. also, since february , recruiting centers for the ukrainian army from the ministry of defense have been fully operational in ukraine, 90% of such centers work on the basis of centers for the provision of administrative services, why is it safe, let's also hear,

it was proved by a direct directive, it was also proved by an information letter to the tsk, that no other mobilizations are carried out on the territory of those checkpoints where recruiting centers are located. events, relatively speaking, they don't hand out summonses there, that's why so that everyone could freely enter, exit, enter 25 times, exit 30 times, and find himself in the army, so mr. oleksii told us today that 30-40% of all people who come to recruiting centers stay and choose positions there and continue this way, in general already more... people, this is as of last friday, applied and started this process of choosing a position in the recruiting center of the ukrainian army, before that also 3120 applications were already in the works and already about a thousand people were at the moment that they have already joined the army or have already

served, these are approximate numbers, because obviously exact numbers cannot be given. in total, there are already 28 such centers, the extreme of which was opened the day before yesterday in the city of khmelnytskyi. however, it is announced that such centers will be opened not only in all ukrainian cities, but also in various oblasts, in cities in oblasts, so that as many people as possible can come to... snaps and be able to freely access information on how to join, could choose, i will note that there are in tsnapa, in the centers in recruiting, civilians cooperate with you, who help you choose a position, and i will note that such centers also work for the navy and the ssu, so this is the information as of now, we will see how this process will proceed , iro, i pass etar on to you. thank you, katya, it was our correspondent kateryna galko who spoke. about how you can voluntarily join the armed forces of ukraine. and that was all the news for now,

you can read more on our website espresso tv, also follow us on social media and of course watch us on youtube. our team is working to ensure that you see the updated news release at 3 p.m., then meet my colleagues marto liyarnyk and antin barkovskii on the air. ukrainian business faced one of the biggest problems today - power outages. due to enemy missile attacks , ukraine lost half of its thermal generation. small businesses began to use generators from industrial enterprises. the situation is much more complicated in order to eliminate the shortage of electricity and avoid planned ones

blackouts, the government obliged large enterprises to import electricity from europe. in 2022 and 2023, the mandatory share of imports was 30% from may to september and 50% from october to april. but at the end of may 2024, the cabinet of ministers adopted a resolution according to which enterprises must purchase 80% of the electricity for their needs in europe. due to high demand and lack of sufficient supply, the exchange price of electricity has already begun to rise catastrophically. 80 and 30 are slightly different numbers, we could somehow compensate, yes, there was an increase, there was an understanding that the products and resources would increase, but it was not fatal, yes, that is, on the household analogy, we understand that if you come to the supermarket for... bread that cost 25 hryvnias and it will cost 26 hryvnias, well, you will not refuse it, it will probably be for you

, it will not be fatal, but if the bread cost 25, and you come, it costs 75, then you will have questions, but the price is not the only one obstacle, the capacity for importing electricity at the border is tripled less than the needs of ukrainian production, even if enterprises agree to buy electricity abroad, it will not be enough for everyone, all business, all industry of ukraine, so we have... somewhere in a day they consume about 100 million kv of electricity , import of electricity and imported electricity that we receive today reaches the level of approximately 20 million kv per day 25 times in rare periods it is said that it can be increased to 30 million. some enterprises, in particular, the mining and metallurgical branches of ukraine have already declared that they can completely stop their work due to the decision of the cabinet. about difficulties. arising in connection with the resolution, arsalormitel kryvyi rih, ingulets

mining and processing plant and interpi said. any increase in the cost price affects production, which in turn affects the state, because our industry is very integrated. most of what ukrzaliznytsia transports is transshipped in the ports now that the ports have opened, it is the products of the mining and metallurgical complex, and therefore, when our production decreases, it decreases. transportation, the funds received by the national railway, ports, related industries and so on are reduced. in order not to go bankrupt, associations of ukrainian industries call for the return of the previous conditions of 30 and 50% of the mandatory import of electricity. if the government does not reconsider its decision, enterprises will be forced to significantly reduce production and staffing levels, or to stop their activities altogether. of these nine. approximately 30% are our assets,

which are located in nikopol, it is combat, combat territory, these are daily arrivals, daily for the threat to life, and the stoppage, the inability of these companies to work will lead to the fact that these currently about 30, sorry, about 3 thousand people will not be able to ... receive the wages that they receive today stable without delays. meanwhile, the cabinet of ministers is not yet ready to abandon the strict norm. according to the first deputy head of the ministry of energy yuriy vlasenko, this is... connected with a significant capacity deficit, which will persist at least until the end of the summer repair of nuclear power units power plants.

glory to ukraine, dear tv viewers, the information day of the tv channel continues, 15:2. in the next hour we will analyze the situation at the front, there are a lot of events, well, what, about this and about other things, now we will talk with pavel lekiychuk, head of security programs of the strategy 21 global studies center, captain of the first rank of the reserve of the naval forces of ukraine. glory to ukraine, mr. captain of the first rank of the naval reserve of the armed forces of ukraine. i wish you health, glory to the heroes. we wish health to you too. well, the key story is the deployment of the enemy in donetsk region. extremely high activity, we understand that the enemy lacks resources when we talk about heavy armored vehicles, but they try to balance this whole thing with a large number of personnel, plus aviation. as you see now the situation in the pokrovsky direction, yes, because there is activation of the enemy in several dangerous directions. well, as for

armored vehicles, this is due not to the limitation of its use. even in the pokrov direction, where the russians made extensive efforts to use tanks, armored vehicles, any technical means for the movement of forces, and these restrictions are dictated not only by the lack of tanks, but also by the tactics of our armed forces, which knock out these himangals, mr. captain, of the first rank of the reserve, look, they save, or they they accumulate, that is, with armored vehicles, in your opinion, they save, maybe this is not quite the right concept here, they save, they try to protect the equipment, understanding that it turns into

disposable equipment, and it goes into the field , immediately the ukrainians catch up with her. drones, or they destroy the komikaze drones directly, or they destroy them, point artillery at them, and the effectiveness of the use of equipment, well, it drops significantly, even in such field conditions, which were once common for acceptable, generally acceptable for former wars, now it does not look like that at all, nevertheless, the russians are advancing, advancing and... the danger is created in two of several aspects: the first is the approach of the russian advanced units to the pokrovskaya kstantynivka chasiv yara track, there are only 7-8 kilometers to the track, and this route is our main lung

chain that connects the entire turkish group of troops. with styles, that is, it is the provision of ammunition, people, and equipment, it is the evacuation of the wounded, so that to a large extent all this is tied to this route, and to cut it, the russians understand that it will have a great impact on the further course hostilities, the second direction is movement to the west. and here we are two such, two aspects, behind our divisions are watersheds, there is a wolf and then there is a whole cascade of rivers that can, as we already said a month or two ago, which may eventually become the frontiers

at which the enemy will be stopped. but in the meantime, in those areas where our troops are defending themselves in front of the rivers, a situation arises when they turn into such peculiar plazdagms, yes, you are talking now, mr. pavle, you are now talking about borova, the kurakhiv direction, yes, including yes, here and there it shows, well, now it shows the actual map of deeppstate, we understand, it is not an official map, it is analysts who are engaged in... studying the situation, a very dangerous situation - sandy sandy - this, if we say more it is clear, tabaivka, this settlement, there they are trying... actually to get closer to this reservoir, which, the oskil reservoir, which you mentioned, that is , we understand that for the enemy now there is also

the kurakhiv direction, one of the most important, so definitely, well, maybe we can consider the area of ​​the main impact in general, where from the time goyar somewhere in the north, well, this is the northern branch of such a stream, to kurakhi... the area in the south, it is like this, well, a little on the contrary to the south, hello, hello, yes, yes, go on, it's here too threat, and the second threat, in addition to tactical encirclements of such, is their attempt to break through these watersheds of these rivers. the steps to break through to the rear, that is, to break this line of defense, which will, it is planned, rely on this line of water

obstacles, this is the second point, and her movement to the north, these are the tentacles that are sprouting in the direction of new york. this is a movement in the turkish direction and a frontal attack in the turkish direction, well, on the one hand, this indicates that the operational-strategic coverage operation, the grouping of troops that are defending themselves in this area, the russians did not succeed, and this was due to the plan, obviously , of winter and spring offensives, but now they are trying to... take out our forces with frontal attacks, and they often succeed in this, but it must be understood that a certain

retreat , yes, this is a concession to the enemy, but if he managed to capture a large encirclement of our game, our forces, well, this could have fatal consequences, we do not allow this, and the enemy bears ... very significant losses, due to which reserves for a strategic operation he has less and less. dear mr. captain first rank reserve of the naval forces of ukraine, the armed forces of ukraine. look, i would like to ask you about the situation in krynky. we understand that there was a lot of effort. this bridgehead was held heroically. yes, we understand that in order for any bridgehead to function normally, well, it needs to... expand and, accordingly , push back hostile, hostile forces. well, as far as we understand, our command made a decision to withdraw our fighters from

the wells. so, your vision of what will happen in general with the operation to liberate the left bank of the dnieper in kherson region? well, when this operation began, we, the plan of our command. well , it could be of a character, well, it could be two options, the first option is its creation of a bridgehead for a further offensive in the direction of the crimean barriers, a trench, for this the polandarm had to be expanded, where the troops could be transferred, and it should be scaled by us. the second option, judging by the time, uh,... this is a simultaneous strike as an auxiliary strike , despite the fact that the main direction of our offensive was on the zaporozhye nazatork on melitopol,

the forces that forced the dnieper were supposed to distract, stretch the enemy's defenses, distract a significant part of their forces from the direction of the auxiliary strike, and they fulfilled their function. despite the fact that last year 's summer offensive in the armed forces did not achieve its main goal, nevertheless, the landing on the left bank fulfilled its decisive role, thank you, thank you, thank you, mr. pavle, pavlo lakiychuk, head of security, security programs center for global studies, strategy of the 21st century, captain of the first... rank reserve of the navy of ukraine was on the live air of the tv channel on the phone, we're going to have a break right now, but i want to remind you that our viewers, we 're continuing to fundraise for our brigade 9,103
