the opportunity to see the work of the lancet with your own eyes, thank god, the boys were alive, so wounded, but the equipment was intact, the boys were cured and everyone returned to the formation, and in this, the only defense is vigilance and speed of calculation. roman, in addition to this question, eyes, gratings, nets, masking smoke, oh... these means of protection, they are effective, or is it still necessary, as he says, as you say, to be on the lookout, to choose a place, to carry out a salvo and quickly abandoning positions, this is the most effective way of defense, unfortunately, the enemy, as well as we change tactics, it constantly mutates, and precisely for the purpose of protection against lancets...

uh, the same nets that are lined, uh, the beam is lined, then, as practice shows, unfortunately, they are not effective, and the most important thing is to disguise it as best as possible, because we work on call and so that our place, shift, is not noticed, we necessarily constantly change the position, without, regardless of the fact that we worked with this position. or not, moreover, self-propelled artillery means that we can mislead the enemy, constantly change positions, and this helps us first of all camouflage, speed and alertness, and now we see more than once the video that our directors show us, this is precisely about the use of fpv drones of the 47th separate mechanized brigade, we know.

there are many such good examples of the effective and efficient work of your unit, how much it now complements the work of the barrel artillery, just fpv drones, did such a good tandem or trio of using these tools make an impression? and this is a very effective weapon in relation to fpv, so we do not take it away laurels in artillery by defeat. about 90% of the damage to the enemy is the work of artillery, but fpv is like a cherry on the cake, which can reach deeper, reach more precisely, and in principle, the economic component of fpv application, it is already much more profitable and cheaper, when with one mavik , sorry, one fpv drone can be destroyed. you are a tank, you can destroy a bbm,

sorry, in the same barrel artillery, if you take a gun to, this is very high professionalism, but according to the standards, you need at least two, or even three shells to hit to aim and hit the target, this is normal practice, it is three shells, already the height of professionalism and luck, it will hit. to destroy the target with the first projectile, this is about artillerymen and farts, and they are handsome, and roman, about replenishment and mobilization, what is the situation on the example of your brigade within the limits of what is permissible, what can be said, which specialists are most needed, or whether soldiers are needed just in your unit, and for mobilization, our brigade has a recruiting center, has recruiters who work in... in the interests

of our brigade, where, where is the civilian, if he, when he likes our approach, our work and has the desire, he can join our ranks by applying through recruiters. unfortunately, we all understand very well that the infantry is the most, has the biggest losses, and it is connected with this. the fact that the battalions need replenishment, because in some cases they are irreversible losses, in some cases, as you can see now, the guys were evacuated, they managed to evacuate, but they were out of the battlefield for a while due to injuries, but they must will return to our ranks, and now we communicate, for example, by as an example of our jet... battery, we have

a certain number of vacancies, and through recruiters we communicate with guys, with applicants, agree on their position, tell. the principles of our work, what we do, what they will do in the future, when they join us, and in this way , the future military serviceman has the perspective of understanding where he is going, to whom he is going, and one of the examples when with they talked to civilians, he went to through the recruiting center, passed the mandatory training and already came on the same day... yes as he was already trained, he was taken for training, and now he continues to work, fulfill his duties in the profession that he wanted, and he is with us, that is, so if, when, civilians want to join

our lav, thank you very much for what you personally and your brigade are doing to protect our country, and i will remind our viewers that on the air there was... a senior officer of the reactive artillery of the 47th separate mechanized brigade, which is currently operating in the pokrov direction. these were the main military results of that day, followed by the broadcast vasyl zima will continue, so stay tuned to the espresso channel. thank you very much to serhiy zhorets, thank you to his guest. we continue with a lot of interesting and important information ahead, now we will remember about the pooch, where. in 1991, we will talk about why the government decided to abolish the subsistence minimum and what will be in return, all this will be discussed with our guests in the future, but now i urge you to join the meeting on the needs of the armed forces of ukraine. therefore, the espresso tv channel and the vesna charitable fund

opened a fundraiser for the purchase of modern ones drones and electronic warfare systems for the third separate assault brigade, as well as for the 110th and 47th armed brigades. of ukraine. the defenders in the donetsk direction hold back enemy attacks every day. defending our freedom and future. it was these soldiers who stood to the last and defended the avdiyiv direction in that militarily difficult spring, when there was a shortage of ammunition and the enemy had all-powerful brigades in urgent need of flying weapons and modern means of countering enemy drones. our goal is uah 3.5 million. and with your help we are already with they took more than uah 1.8400, that's a lot, in fact, thank you very much, let's join and we will be able to overcome this mark of 3.5 million. remember, each of your donations is important, so join, you can see all the details on the screen.

good health, dear ukrainians, we are soldiers of the bery assault battalion of the third separate assault brigade, who will defend our native land on the front line. we urgently need your help, we need the means of radio-electronic warfare against the enemy's small bpolas and drones of the comity, we very much ask for your help, glory to ukraine, heroes, glory, join us, gorbachev, blocked in crimea, in his residence in foros, gkchcp, in ukrainian it is the state committee for emergency situations, and this is already known to the people and in history. after all, as the gkchp, the state committee through these, incidents, and all that happened at that time, and is there anything similar now in russia, at least approximately, at least approximately similar to those events of august 1991, we

will talk about it and of course, we will try to draw a parallel with today's events, and we will be contacted by ivan zayets, politician, people's dep... mr. ivan, i congratulate you, good day, i am glad to see and hear, let us, let's restore to memory, in general, note the role of ukraine, maybe this way, or how ukraine prepared, influenced, reacted to what was happening in moscow at that time, on august 19, 1991, could everything have gone according to plan, those who gathered with trembling hands in moscow, those who demanded from gorbachev to withdraw the powers of the president, already the president of the ussr, like pugo, and all these comrades who were decent , please, yes, i don't think it could have gone

the other way, because the soviet union is in its own right the foundations were already undermined, already the will of many peoples... uh, the soviet union was clearly aimed at independence, and i think that such a nuclear power, aspirations for freedom, it could not be overcome by some coups. the fact is that on august 20, 1991, these so-called reactionary forces of the soviet union planned such a coup d'état, they understood that without ukraine, and ukraine then refused to sign a new union treaty, but the soviet union as a russian communist empire won't be anymore to exist, and that is why they did not bet on some reform, as gorbachev did, or as it is... he thought of dragging all these republics back into the new so-called soviet

union, and they decided to keep the soviet union by force, by weapons, it is clear that they did not succeed in this for several reasons, the first reason is the desire of peoples for independence, and the second reason was that the soviet union was then represented by two such centers, the imperial union, this union... power headed by gorbachev, who wanted to follow such a path manipulations to preserve the soviet union, pseudo-reforms, and the second force, the second center of power was in the russian government headed by yeltsin, yeltsin was counting on keeping ukraine within the soviet union, and then once again dragging it back to the status of a colonial colonial structure, so i think. that this gkchp was precisely a reaction to ukraine's reluctance

to rewrite or join the new union treaty, that is, to continue its existence as part of the russian communist empire. on august 19, 1991 in kyiv, it is so fleetingly possible threats, what was happening, because that's how you read, i'm currently reading a wonderful book by oleksandr ziichenko about how ukraine destroyed the empire. there are a lot of different nuances of evil that people don't know about in general, but right now i would like to see if there were those who were waiting, and what will happen there, and maybe not everything is as clear as many expected, by the way, when the russians invaded ukraine on a full scale, some people also thought, well , suddenly now, if anything, we will already cooperate for different people, but on that day , kyiv, or was here, was unequivocal. ness in election for independence, we know that the referendum took place already at the end,

at the end of the year, the one that actually approved the act of declaring independence, but just then, when actually, maybe in kyiv, maybe in moscow, it was more obvious, kyiv after all was not the capital of the ussr, although centrifugal processes were taking place here, what was happening then and again, was there an understanding that everything was clear with the choice to be away from moscow and not to be... in the ussr then, we can say, there was such a consensus between all political forces on the fact that at least the level of ukraine's sovereignty should have been much greater than before, and on june 27, 1991 , we refused to consider the draft treaty that gorbachev submitted for consideration by our supreme council at the time, and it was such an application that we postponed. for an indefinite period, this was already such a signal that ukraine does not want to participate in the restoration or preservation

of the soviet union today. what happened on august 19 in kyiv? two such phenomena should be noted here: the first is the pressure of the union authorities headed by general gorennikov, who came to kyiv and and had meetings with the chairman of the verkhovna rada, lenid kravchuk. he frightened... ravchuk by the fact that if ukraine now makes any such decisions against the authorities of the central committee of the state of ukraine, then they will introduce a state of emergency in ukraine, well, at least in galicia, in kyiv and in crimea, the introduction of a state of emergency meant that the ukrainian government, which was elected legally, she, she is removed from her positions and power is taken over by the military, then lenid kravchu. i think he played this game very clearly, he told barennikov that everything is calm with us

we need to finish, finish the harvest, because if we don't harvest the harvest, then there will be nothing to feed the soviet union, so it somehow weakened this pressure of moscow to a certain extent, but in reality the situation was different, moscow was not able to do pressure on ukraine, they did not have enough strength even to solve the issue with the russian authorities, not to introduce a state of emergency in ukraine itself, and those politicians who are aware of this. but they just asked the question on the 20th of august in the verkhovna rada, the question of the proclamation independence, the independence of ukraine, this is one such branch, it is a process at the level of government, but there was also another process, this is the process of the will of the people itself. in kyiv, on the 19th , people had already gathered on the square, now

the independence square, kyiv was already plastered with leaflets saying that it is not worth recognizing the power of the gkchp. that this is a coup d'état, that this is illegal power, and we must act in accordance with our constitution and our own laws. strike committees have already begun to form or gather, which also developed proposals, in what way oppose gkchcp. therefore, you can talk about the resistance of the ukrainian government, and you can talk about the resistance of the people themselves, but the ukrainian government was not homogeneous, it was so-called. the communist party of ukraine is such a piece of the cpsu of the communist party of the soviet union, and the secretariat of this party, the top of this party, they were exactly expecting this force option, and when the documents, resolutions there, then various statements were sent from moscow to ukraine, the secretariat of the communist party of ukraine

supported these resolutions, unfortunately, i literally yes or no, no, but i want to hear your opinion at least yes or no, in russia in august, let it be possible in september, it doesn't matter, a putsch against putin, but an effective one is possible? i believe that it is impossible, today there are no political forces that would operate outside of this imperial ideology. today, russia is fighting for its imperialism, there are no such forces there, neither good russian nor any communist forces. or some others, they do not think about russia today, if, if the armed forces do not help, then nothing good will happen in russia will happen, as far as i understand, we need a victory on the field, on the battlefield, and then we will solve the issue not away from moscow, but away from moscow, only then will ukraine live a peaceful life, so we need to strive for nato, we need to defeat russia on battlefield, thank you

very much, mr. ivan, and for your work, first of all, many years for the benefit of ukraine, of course for the comment you gave us, ivan for... politician, people's deputy of ukraine of the first sixth convocation, i'm watching archived video, while listening to mr. ivan, here and shovkoshtyny, and the young, the headmen, and grynyov, and the late ivan stepanovich, plyushch, the late vladin makarovich and porovsky, many, many people, and now we will talk about, we will talk about those innovations that are proposed, at least in the government, that's not what we say, the government in general, no, it's not the government in general, it's the government's proposal, but it needs to be understood, maybe there's nothing wrong here, maybe the situation doesn't look so optimistic. andriy reva is with us, minister of social policy of ukraine in 16-19 years. mr. andrii, i congratulate you. good evening. i, here to briefly formulate the question, the idea was voiced by the minister of social policy , oksana zhilnovych, that in ukraine, they plan

to abolish the living wage, at least at the moment, a draft law is being prepared and discussions are taking place with with those concerned and interested parties, that they are planning to replace the living wage with some kind of targeted assistance, please clarify what is the matter, maybe they will cancel the living wage, simply no one will know how much money is needed to survive during the cities, so it is better possible and don't know how to write relatively speaking, there are 2,000 or 150,000, on which it is impossible to survive, what kind of symptom is this, what does it indicate, please, you know, here i am on several channels already... and you are the first journalist who correctly understood that what zhalnovych offers, she demonstrated her absolute incompetence with this statement, she does not understand that the living wage is not a payment, it is a state social standard, a standard, relatively speaking, you need, for example,

to measure the distance from your house to the store, and you were given line of ten... here they will measure you, please, and you say, well, wait, how will i measure, i will use this ruler for a week, so i will measure, this ruler is small, we need another, so a measuring device, well, for example, a meter , yes, by metro, i will do it faster, and what she says, since the living wage is small, a small ruler, she does not ask the question, let's increase it, take another device, bigger, let's cancel it altogether, and the purpose of this is exactly what you said, that is , the challenge is that if we have today, and about this, and this is recognized by the world bank... this year, the number of poor people in ukraine increased by 108,000 people and reached 9 million.

according to the budget resolution, there is no increase in social standards for the next 3 years, that is, more money the state does not collect for people's social protection, well, at least the power in the state is not going to increase, then the question arises, how to fight the poverty that will increase... and here they followed the path proposed by halyna mykolaivna tretyakova. do you remember that she said, in order to overcome poverty, it means that we need to stimulate families, as she said, where low-quality children are born, that is, if we stop them, if, she even said that in singapore, for example, they sterilize them , so that these children are not born, and they say that this experience must be learned, and this is the path that zhelnok follows. if we cancel the standard, the state social standard, then the concept of poverty will disappear, because we cannot prove that this

person is poor, and why did you decide that he poor, there is no standard, so we give some money there, that's all, let him live, let him spin, what's the problem, the problem is that this state social standard, it's not just that, it's constitutional, it enshrined in the constitution of ukraine. in article 46, part three, it is written: attention, i will just quote: pensions, coma, other types of social payments and assistance, which is the main source of livelihood, must ensure a standard of living not lower than the subsistence minimum established by law. that is, if if you want to abolish the living wage, then at least you need to amend the constitution, if we are talking about the legal way. and the 46th article is the section called rights. freedom of the people of the person and the citizen, even in order to make changes there, according to the procedure for making changes, a referendum must first be held, so

imagine a referendum in ukraine on the proposal, let's cancel the living wage, how many people will vote for it, well, that's but well, the point is that if my colleagues, i don't know who asked the question, maybe they did not emphasize that the payment is the norm. these are different things, then it is not a subsidy, when, let's say, they subsidized those apartments that could not pay the price of gas, there heat energy and so on, but not everyone understands, maybe, then i understand, well, what you explain, but i understand that not all citizens can understand, and someone will think, really, what's the matter here, well, it's the same, you know, let's for hospitals, let's say, cancel the measurement of body temperature, here's a person, normal temperature is healthy. well, you, well, look, you it's like nothing, oh, he's already dead by tomorrow, he had a temperature of 40, 40, but we didn't measure it, but it's like he's alive, he was sweating before he died, yes, that's good, yes, yes, well, this, this

in fact, you dare, but here to understand what, if we say, okay, they offer payments, a discussion is going on now, maybe you have some insider information, and with whom these discussions should be held, well, with the specialized committee of the verkhovna rada, of course, but i think that all conscious dep... from any party, they will be for the interests of the people, it is logical, at least the majority, this is logical, because they are these people, they may dream of appealing to the verkhovna rada once again, and perhaps they know about the article of the constitution, maybe not everyone in the government knows about this article that you mentioned, but if the payments, how to determine them, well, how to measure how much to give, if we do not have the same standard again, let's give uah 800 and say survive, you see, you are absolutely in the root. look at the bottom of the matter, i remember when they came to power, i met then on the air, they still went on the air, i met tretyakovi on the air, she sharply criticized us, you

raised the minimum wage there, you increased the average wage there, you are there, so pensions were raised, but you forgot about the living wage, and now we will direct our main efforts to revision of the living wage, by the way, when we left, it was uah 1,564, remember this figure, it is the state... at the time when the greens came to power , uah 1,564, and what they do, they lay down, think about the budget 2020, the new size of the subsistence minimum is uah 4,251, remember this figure as well, this is such a jump, well , to be honest, i threw up my hands, well, what can i say, well done and go ahead, after that, at the very first review of the budget, this figure disappears from there, the result of the five-year... formation of the living wage, they did not define a new methodology for its calculation and are guided by the methodology that we approved after 20 years of the absence of any methodology

and... managed to raise the living wage, attention, to 2361 hryvnias, again, i name the figures for such a category of people, as persons unable to work, that is, there were 1,564, it became 2,361, we came, there were 900, less than uah 1,000, relatively speaking, there were 800 with pennies, we came, there were 949, we raised it to 1,564 in 2 years, and they were still in the sixth in 5 years year... raised from 1,564 to 2,361, and now they want to eliminate it altogether by 795 hryvnias, if i counted correctly, years, this is the end of the era of poverty, and now zholnovich, since they walked like a cat around the fat near this living wage, didn't know what to do with him, and they decided, let's give him we will cancel it, and then everyone will be happy, there will be no poor people, because there is no criterion of poverty, you have know-how from the green government, i think that...

now everyone should applaud volodymyr aleksandrovich zelenskyi, and why they don't applaud, i don't know but i ’ll tell you then, since we don’t have one in the studio, well, we invite, they don’t always come for some reason, we are always glad to see representatives and factions of the servant of the people and government officials, they are always ready for a constructive dialogue, so we always invite a large, in general on the tv channel espresso, there is and cannot be any prejudice against the representatives of the current government in the democratic tv channel. it's so simple , i announce the invitation suddenly if i want, but in this situation there is a hole in the budget, there are needs for the army, and they are undoubted, there is no army, there is no state, there is nothing to talk about at all, then any things can only be calculated by the army or the government that will come on the bayonets of a foreign army, we don’t need it, but in this situation we still need to act, there are many vacancies now, there is a huge shortage of personnel in ukraine, then they can

offer people, go work, pensioner. no, again, there are pensioners who work, my mother is 76 years old, yesterday was her birthday, so people work, they work as much as they can, but, but there are other possible options, to ask for help in the event again, for the last month there how many months have billions of pensions and social benefits been financed, these are huge funds, and the partners are ready to give more, that is , there is some understanding of how to act in this situation so that people can simply survive and get some opportunities? you know we have to there is one simple thing to understand with you, when you listen to green wunderkinds, you must understand that you cannot believe them for a single gram, everything they say must be verified. so, when we talk about the fact that we can't raise social standards because our western allies are preventing us, that's not true, it's a central payment, as, by the way,

when i read to you. part of the 46th article of the constitution, the central social payment is called a pension. thus, pension payments are financed at the expense of the pension fund of ukraine. and they do not depend from what help the west gives us. you will be surprised, but i will tell you the number. at the end of last year, in december 2023, the ministry of finance of ukraine withdrew uah 29 billion from the pension fund. well , according to the ministry of finance, these funds were superfluous for pensioners. before that, they froze the subsistence minimum for several years and it was 293 hryvnias. and they did not raise. so, having money for promotion, this money did not go to pensioners. they went to the state budget of ukraine. and then they tell that these are all western allies and so on. if these 29. they

sent to increase the minimum pension, and this is precisely the subsistence minimum, then today it would not be 2361 hryvnias, but much more, but the practice, the practice followed by the green government today, that these funds, which are currently in the employment fund, which are in the pension fund today, they withdraw it and direct it to other needs, and then they say that it is the western allies who are to blame for the fact that we have such low numbers. social standards, i want people to hear me, thank you very much, people have heard, they are already writing comments, thank you very much, andriy reva, the minister of social policy of ukraine in 2016-2019, well, indeed, halyna borysyuk writes, social assistance is 2360, well, this is not social assistance, it is a living wage, subsidies count at a minimum of 6-700, the logic is where, but in any case, we started the discussion , we will talk about it and always about...
