zhanka in kyiv, when an institution that has not actually done anything thanks to this competition is heavily indebted began to act actively to produce something to produce some kind of cultural product and e. it seems that there were many more such examples later, and in fact the decline that the dovzhenka center is currently experiencing in particular. it is probably the best evidence of that that independent contests for these positions of top managers of state institutions are extremely important. we have also seen regarding the contest for the position of director that there may also be questions

. what is your position, what is the position of the ministry in the prime minister's office, maybe we will know when they will work and the mistakes will be corrected. well, it's hard for me to talk about 2015-2014, i'm up to 2017 since 2014, he served in the state border service and at one time already in skazhem , so he returned to the state administration also through an open competition through a competition for the position of state secretary of the ministry of youth and sports , and he was not my first, he seemed to be my fourth already, that is, in this case, i am an open supporter of the competitive procedure. but now, in the conditions of martial law, it is impossible to follow the procedure, which, in principle, starts from safety standards and ends with the functionality of the competitive procedure, we already faced this during

the coronavirus pandemic before it was possible to carry out mass vaccination and develop safety protocols for obtaining quarantine distance restrictions there, that i am convinced that a full-fledged competitive procedure will be resumed and now it is after the end of the active phase hostilities, as for the competition for the post of director , it has already started. two meetings have already been held. this is an independent competition. there is representation on the side of government structures and there are also representations from international partners who made a significant contribution to the formation of an anti-corruption structure in ukraine, and we cannot influence this in any way, except that as the secretariat of the cabinet of ministers of ukraine , we can provide a platform for the work of the commission and provide technical and work in this regard. i think that no member of the competition commission can not in any way reproach the secrecy of the cabinet of ministers of ukraine regarding all other competitions. well,

i think for them they should also convey who conducts them, the last meeting, or rather the second meeting, which colleagues from the competition commission were held on the ninth. they turned to each other with suggestions about what needs to be done, but unfortunately i want to state that the commission's regulations have not yet been approved, the competition has not been approved, and the requirements have not been formulated . and in principle we would be ready to help because this is far from the first competition on the site of the secretary and unfortunately not all of them are successful, in particular the commission for the competitive selection of the head of arma did not determine the winner and we only yesterday, on the 14th, we received the minutes of this commission. again, the independent commission thinks it is necessary and we will proceed from this . nevertheless, we had a competition director, and as a newly created structure, there

were no complaints about the competition procedure. that is, we in this regard, we are ready to contribute as much as possible, this is now one of the few competitions that is sufficiently important and it is narrowly specialized in accordance with its specific law, we are ready not just to help there if we need to be ready to do a lot of work technically. well, but the members of the competition commission want to do it themselves. we will wait for their results. thank you for the conversation. oleg nemchynov, minister of the cabinet of ministers of ukraine and a member of the ato, was with us. the former ambassador of ukraine to the republic of croatia in bosnia and herzegovina mr. oleksandr good afternoon a-a we are at the beginning of this hour. what is hungary doing, how is it doing and acting at odds with the

european union, is it possible that hungary will really be excluded from the european community, well, that is up to brussels, and it is clear that the members of ukraine do not think that this issue will be on the agenda now, but actually, when they start discussing it so, in order for budapest to fully listen to the position of brussels and the common position of the european union on what, so to speak, with russia, it is necessary to introduce a position that we can verify, one that is supported by the european union itself. thus, budapest's signal he left, voiced it, it was voiced by the czech side, which includes only the greek group, the visegrad group, you

know the czech republic, slovakia, hungary and poland, the greek group, due to the position of hungary, stopped meeting at all for this pro-russian e-e mass that is heard periodically, i will write it down, so to speak, we will assume that viktor gorban and the hungarian ruling party received some kind of verbal warning or whether it will react to it, we will see, because the mechanisms for excluding e-e from the european union have never been used by the country great britain, where picked up mine, she got out of it, and the forced exclusion will probably take some kind of procedure and have consequences. of course, this is a full one station or it is in all the countries of the european union. well, it is difficult to say the studio, and on the one hand, hungary is all the time, if it mixes

cards and in the european union with and in relation to ukraine, in particular, and on the other hand, hungary is outside the european union , but it is close to ukraine and with its uh, eternal conversations about what transcarpathia is ours, what people there are ours, why are we going to give out passports, how dangerous is it for us to have hungary, which will not be a member of the european union once again emphasizes that i very much doubt that hungary will be excluded from the european union, this is, so to speak , a warning sounding on ot and i think that hungary and orbán understands that it is his right away, he makes a rating, he makes a commitment to which countries, this is actually cutting off the pot from development funds and the european union and so on, there are a lot of funds that we

hungary choose, it is clear that it has a pro-russian position because russia has invested about 10 billion dollars of their money there, we know that with the basis of the share of 500 gas it receives from one source and this is from the russian european directives had no more than a third, we know that hungary will receive 65% of russian oil and newspapers, and this is one source, which means that it had 33, that is,

in violation of the regulations of the european union. well, you know that the most pro-russian lobby in ukraine was the one who earned money from russia on oil and gas, so as far as this is concerned, we understand well that the russians always always share funds so that their policy is supported by someone promoted in the country, and this is not only in the country, the actions of all such important organizations of the european union, mr. oleksandr, as for the balkan politics, what is happening there ? a map of this country, he will understand that the situation there is always extremely difficult. there is simply the displacement of enclaves of various ethnic and religious communities. in your opinion , is this state still viable? what are the risks here, if the

conflict will escalate there, well, in europe, everyone understands the situation well in the fall, as in cegovina and the western balkans, so we actually have two mtps of the republic of serbia, t-49% and 50% - this is actually the federation of bosnia - this it can be seen that it consists of our parents and croats and another percentage - this is a separate distributor, it must be said that it seems to be a rather complex structure from the outside, but functionally it is clear where what rights are delegated by the anti-ter, which is the serbian federation of individuals and what are the rights on the national level equal, they are distributed, so to speak, pedals the question that she wanted to leave bosnia, the players do not join serbia - this is purely a project that

pedals. actually, separate moscow, because it is clear if bodik parade until which member of the regional presidium is collective the state body of the highest state leadership, it is collective, because on the one hand, on the other hand, everything is croat, on the other hand, on the third hand, a vesnyar, so we can say that the position of the dodika council is the most pro-russian in the western balkans, or is it internal to him convictions, or again, were there any financial infusions personally into his career. probably there were, because in ukraine as well, all pro-russian politicians, as a rule, made good money from e-e of some kind of trade or even received funds from the kremlin, that's why there are special representatives of the euro of the united

states in the balkans special representatives have already been introduced by great britain, germany, and france, so europe is not going to simply watch and ignore the self-initiated initiative of the republic of serbia, which at the beginning of the armed conflict, it is obvious that we now dodik works out the funds he receives brains, but on the other hand he understands that a wide war does not bring any benefit to the population of the serbian population, or death will stop only the suffering of blood, i told him myself when i was salted , we met. i am at the faculty of philosophy , and he is not at the faculty of political sciences

, so i openly said that well, listen, it already overlaps with the fact that russians and serbs are the closest peoples. well, we ukrainians are like 100 years old a closer people to us. thus, in the 14th year, the zaporozhians took crimea and part of the donbas, therefore, russia is only playing for its own interests, only you will move a little to the side, and so on, you can quickly turn from a brotherly people into a people, well, which one should be nazified, for example, or ice to give , this is the know-how of the kremlin, which can be applied to anyone. well, novograd-veden heard it or listened to it. probably, no, i am not his spiritual mentor either, by the way, he is not so far away that he will simply dance into the sub-russian political balalaika, he is maneuvering some funds, working out, and somewhere beyond some limit, he goes to the studio, but i will also

ask about the case of kosovo. yes, there is also a difficult situation all the time, but i am interested in this situation, let's say that kosovo actually supported ukraine cautiously in this story, but ukraine still does not recognizes the independence of this state, which has already been recognized by us. i understand that here we also have a certain, certain, double- standard policy is emerging. perhaps there is also another side when we are a country that gained independence not so long ago and today is fighting for it for the first time in this century, well, first of all, we did not gain independence, but we restored the

first state on the territory of ukraine - this is the end of the fifth the century is a state. anti is stupid. putin says that ukraine created it. vladimir ilichlenin, we had statehood even before the first slavs came to the territory of the russian federation, so we had to come from the territory of poland. therefore, i must say that the situation regarding the ambassador is clear. why don't we recognize not from the lpr dpr and close because the situation is similar and you know why slovakia recognized phosphorus, that's why there are problems with the hungarian minority and so on, why didn't romania recognize the work of transylvania, which is also being pedaled by the hungarian side, why didn't it recognize eh spain, because there are problems with the basques, why didn’t it recognize cyber, because there is this greek-turkish confrontation, and so on , so everyone has their own

question. it was not another one obstacles, of course, this obstacle is not necessary for us, we explained it to the kosovar side, it is not that we do not know something there or that we love someone or do not like someone, we are just saying that the situation is what it is if the serbian side recognizes the independence of kosovo. and you know that the european integration path of belgrade due to the fact that he has to recognize the independence of kosym - this is another issue for the time being in order not to worsen the situation and our position regarding the return of crimea, here, unfortunately, we still take the same position if europe presses biography of kosovo for the time being, i do not think that it will be so.

it means that for the time being it is expedient for the national interests of ukraine to benefit from this step faith . thank you mr. oleksandr oleksandr levchenko , a diplomat, the former ambassador of ukraine to the republic of croatia, bosnia and herzegovina, was in touch with us by e- now let's talk about military affairs, military easily, the editor-in-chief of franz express is with us, now let's continue the conversation with him. good day, mr. oleg. good day. the rapid success of the ukrainian troops in kherson oblast kherson oblast and in general, the further actions of the armed forces of ukraine. it seems to me that one of the

elements in principle of the extremely successful offensive of the armed forces of ukraine was that the ukrainians actually followed the recommendations and requests of the armed forces of ukraine and did not create such a huge mass of information about who, how, where, where he steps, and this, in my opinion, also played a decisive role, that is, if we take the fact that now the armed forces of ukraine will really be to continue the offensive, including in the south. it was probably believed that there were probably the same calls, but in any case it must be understood that after every operation absolutely after every operation there may well be a certain operational pause connected with the fact that first the guys need to rest, it is necessary to move the equipment, that is, it is possible, to a certain extent, it is not necessary. for example, we should

expect events in the kherson region to be at the same pace as it was, for example, in the kharkiv region, that is , especially since the kherson direction is full that is, it is a separate direction and you seem to have certain rules, because it is just a banal situation there, the enemy is cut off from the main communications. in your opinion, actually, how much was captured, how much was reported about the captured equipment during this rapid breakthrough in the kharkiv direction, this is this the equipment is what will become of it, will it strengthen the ukrainian army, taking into account that there are 152nd shells, we are already moving away from them, so i understand, well, if they will be used for a long time, that is, there are a bunch artillery, which is the main one in the armed forces, that is, no, no, in fact, no one in the armed forces refused to use the 152 mm caliber from the 122 mm, but if you take the information that is

relatively enthusiastic about the technology, then the account has already gone to the one excluded according to the photo and video somewhere there are more than 300 units. well, the exact numbers will be known after the report of the armed forces of ukraine, but for the sake of understanding, it’s like this. well, the armament is already at the level of a brigade, for example, that is, such an increase is extremely important from the point of view trophy equipment, of course, it is necessary to take into account the fact that it must first be repaired . that is, it will not be ready to go into battle right away. but this is already one of the elements of the fact that we captured a significant amount of military equipment. this is actually two doubles for the enemy, firstly, because our armed forces receive a new unit, and secondly, they send it out and there is still an important aspect, during this time, an extremely, well, a certain number of, let's say, extremely interesting ones were captured

samples of weapons and military equipment that are in service with the russian federation. well, for example, there is the counter battery radar of the zoo, the latest modernization, simply in the factory packaging with all the instructions and technical documentation. the orlan complex was found. interesting equipment and weapons that will be analyzed in detail and from the point of view of not just its capabilities but how to resist this weaponry and also for use in the latest models russian weapons of western components, even if they do not belong to sub-saxon, for example, microcircuits, it simply allows to go directly to the manufacturer of these civilian microcircuits that are used there by their suppliers and stop all supply channels in principle, and they may be released in the russian federation in the

future in principle, there was information, the financial times writes that the united states and its allies are discussing the possibility of providing ukraine with air defense equipment and fighter jets uh, we clearly lost to the russians in terms of aviation, how realistic is it that it will really uh be provided to ukraine, because earlier, uh, ukraine refused to provide fighter jets and how much it can change if we get them, in the end, change the course of the war to something more positive side for ukraine of course , that is, it must be recognized that somewhere in the spring there was a conversation about heavy armored vehicles, about fighters, about means of air defense, that is, full-fledged missile complexes for ukraine . that this question was on the agenda, but if

you look at the pentagon's last briefing, e. there was a question about, for example, tanks, for example, fighter jets, and now they are not considered according to the pentagon's official comments in the short-term perspective, that is, they are classified in the medium- and long-term perspective of air defense, for example, it is already possible to introduce the language that in the nearest well, for example, in the coming months, we should receive some casenet-rocket complexes such as the very same arresters, the same cutters will then be produced by us. over the next few years, for ukraine, that is, they are moving to such a medium-term perspective regarding fighter jets, then directly, when asked by journalists, the pentagon answered that they are not considered for short supply condoms and are transferred to a later period

. that is, i did not really count, well, the only condition is the only one for him, that is, here. the question is that they consider short-term what medium-term, well there is hope that from the first of october, when lands will be operational, it will become a little easier for the supply of western high-voltage, high-tech equipment to ukraine, for example, with regard to fighter jets, even from the city of missile complexes in the period when lend-lease will focus, ukraine can raise questions not on give us, for example , a fighter jet, or there are some conditional ones. and give it to us for lease with a green lease, that is, temporarily until victory, that is, there are certain time limits, we use it, then we return it, and precisely on the conditions such a lease may be found as a mechanism for the supply of already high-tech, powerful weapons, which are really badly needed, because well, it must be understood that during all the years of independence, ukraine

has not ordered a single new fighter, not a single new anti-aircraft missile system, that is, since 1991, nothing in the whole it was not done, they killed only there certain point modernizations well, maybe this gripen is swedish, but i read that they haven’t had any orders for many years, maybe they just can us it seems to me that some kind of discount should be made in this direction, it seems to me that somehow working there is relatively short-term prospects. for example, the flu, well , the plane is really great. well, the irony here is a really great plane, but the company is really alone, after 8 years, there are no orders for it, the production rate of this plane for the own armed forces for the order for brazil and for and in total and the order for brazil is actually measured there in a few units per year, that is, the pace of its production is quite small and for us if we

we are talking about the early prospects of receiving fighter jets, well, the situation is the same that we have to look for those that are already in service with countries in significant numbers and the transfer of which will not pose a threat to the donor country’s defense capability , and if we take these conditions as bases, that is, they live in these there should be a lot, so we don't really have many options, it's only uletay in the 16th from the usa, and again, in my opinion, a rather valid opinion was voiced in one of the espresso broadcasts, the topic is that two tasks must be solved separately that is, they solve them in one block, but first you will solve the short-term by obtaining fighters like 16, which were to be used under, for example, the green league for a certain time, and after the victory will be returned to the owner, and here is the question of the long-term

rearming of the ukrainian air force there to the level of in the 2040s and 50s, that is, what kind of machine should be the main one for the armed forces of ukraine in the future should already be decided after the victory , that is, it should not try to solve the problem in the short term and in the long term at the same time, because this is a very difficult task in principle, and how long does it take to train the pilots of such fighters . suddenly we will get them there and we will have to use them, we know that the ukrainians are studying just crazy, i have an answer from scratch 48 months american program if i am not mistaken about half a year half a year half a year for already uh according to the program of the us air force for pilots who are studying for 16, that is, they already have a flight, that is, they already know how to fly an airplane. they even know how to use weapons, that is, they passed the basic

training, i.e. the conditions are already there, a cadet of the fifth year, yes, a military graduate school, then in order for him to master a full-fledged f16th, he needs six months. that is, it is necessary to understand that this is um, when it comes to the training of our military, then this half-year course he can to be reduced, so he really wasn't there to lie there for two or three weeks at the most, but for six months maybe it's possible there but somehow it will be possible to reduce it, but there well, consider from several months to six months, but we know very well that, for example, a russian pilot is very often flew, for example, on egyptian planes during various wars in the u.s. with israel and the arab countries, well , soviet pilots on the very letters soviet pilots fought instead of the u.s. vietnamese in the migs of the 15th in vietnam, that is, we do not think we also we could theoretically count on some volunteers,

maybe people who are no longer serving. well, this is also a scenario that is fantasized, no, there is no need to reject it. especially since i am a foreign legion, that is, the question here is only to get these machines and create a ground base, that is, always when language talking about fighters, they mention that it is necessary to get the planes themselves and train the pilots, but in fact it is a whole complex with ground maintenance with a huge simple task of reworking the entire aviation control system, because well, it is not a situation, e.e. communication means in a modern f16 fighter are necessary well, they differ from those used, for example, by the soviet mig-29 or 827, that is, we are talking about replacing and equipping the entire ground base with aviation control, starting from the banal there reporting runway and the fuel that must be

stored because the fuel for the f16s may differ from, for example, the fuel for the mig-29s. even this is the thing there, and speaking of the fuel , the refuelers about well, just the entire complex, which exactly and provides the police with such, that is, er, one more aspect, by the way, er, it seems to me that first the allies should strengthen our air defense so that we, having already strengthened the air defense of certain objects, could start deploying the ground infrastructure and only then because of this to get fighter jets because well, let's face it, that is, it is necessary to understand that the russian federation has the opportunity to launch a remote war and bombard the entire territory of ukraine.
