such things as this happened to the makiivtsi, that is, placing an entire battalion in one building is in principle unacceptable, and even in this operation, you have to train for such a thing well, but for some reason it is still for them every time like the first time until now why are you in shock every time why i am not i take into consideration, of course, each additional one or mars. it greatly enhances this uh-uh on our capabilities . let me remind you that at the beginning they were handed over to us in total only four pieces, so now there are 20 of them , 18 more are under the contract. 18 do you consider this to be a doubling of our capabilities of jet artillery, just below well, of course, there are also mls that have absolutely all the same characteristics, that is, in fact, more than 20, these are 20 of them, which are strumoksom, exactly how much, the ministry of internal affairs, i don’t remember now. a little different, but with all due respect to the operator of any other air defense system, here i am.

to be honest, i am of course happy with air defense supplies, but don’t worry, because it is still a defensive weapon, this is also for you and me in that regard that she and you almost cut out the light so that we could conduct the broadcasts more calmly. this is for this, peter, but unfortunately they do not help to liberate our territories, they do not help to go to us here. american brands of cars are coming, this is really quite a breakthrough solution, uh, recently, it’s practically not a big deal. well, there were unique exceptions with wheeled armored vehicles, tracked in general, as far as i remember, uh, well, relatively modern in principle, no one has yet delivered except for the andrian one, and in addition, there is still a moment of quantity, while they are being transferred, there are a lot of 50 bradley contacts, and the number of 20 to 40 e-e marders has not yet been determined, but potentially up to a hundred marders can be transferred and bradley

is potentially in the warehouses of the american army, there are only 2,800 of them in reserve at the moment, that is, when we show that the first 50 are in good hands and are well used, then from 50 it can grow to 100, and 50 may not be enough, and this is already very significant. now the next breakthrough will be the supply of western tanks, i don’t know that this is a matter of maybe two months, but they still have to mature, we still have to push, but here is an example with bmps. it shows that this pressure works and maturation is taking place. tactical needs of the military units of the armed forces of ukraine, we understand that well. we hope that the western armor will arrive in a timely manner, that they will not drag on for a very long time. but if we talk about what should be paid attention to attention to our fellow citizens who are ready and regularly help the military. what do you think, where should their

financial activity be directed? well, here to the previous question, i would also like to add that the increase in supplies of the same and mars and er is connected with that that on the territory of the belarusians a long, long time ago, turning processes have already begun, and the creation of a strike group and no one knows where they will strike, they will again go to the kyiv region, they will go to the rivne npp to put on the entire energy system of ukraine and many other things of course, this will arm this increase , it is precisely against the background of all these news and against the background of the total and massive transfer of equipment on the territory of the republic of belarus, as for weapons, well, directly, the come back alive fund, the vision of the niche saw the lack of infantry weapons, so we were for we are purchasing 186 mm e of 120 mm caliber and they

will be transferred exclusively to a-a units of territorial defense, we are now thinking about increasing this purchase and switching to a smaller caliber of 82 mm a, and we are also concentrating our attention to the search for large-caliber but this is already small arms, because some of our units lack such weapons, and we want to comprehensively close this issue so as not to worry about any possible directions of attack from the territory of belarus, the more powerful our army will be in one or another the smaller the area, the more the enthusiasm of the russian federation to go on the offensive will fall. this is the story of number two. we continue to do what we do. we invest in communication, which is simply a consumable. radio stations, with such activity

of hostilities, well, they are simply lost , as well as ammunition, this is small unmanned aviation, drones, and this is a typical area of ​​​​optics, and probably our largest investment, in which we will only expand complexes because we have to fly to a depth of 30 to 200 km and see the movement and all the plans of the enemy in order to warn as quickly as possible and to inflict the same preventive attack uhu well and the deep enemy rear somehow became more frequent there, uh, incidents with explosions and fires here and there i see mr. andriy smiling a little. i just wanted to ask about this and maybe you have heard something. i am very pleased when, er, air defense works every day, and somewhere in kursk, somewhere near belgorod, somewhere on the outskirts of moscow, somewhere in the temporarily occupied territory

of temporarily occupied crimea, somewhere in the rostov region and this is the whole story about the effectiveness of capital investment of the volunteer movement, because we see, we know what we are doing, and the war, the war has been transferred to the territory of the enemy. this is the first psychological weapon that we have to use, because the siren has not only the territory of ukraine but also most of the russian federation are shaking to arrive, i am hypothetically considering the situation, an academic question, so to arrive, so that, for example, we would be alarmed in the

white stone capital of mordor, well, for today, eh, look, we were armed with strizhi and flights eh they were not used all the time until february 24. at the moment, in principle, we have almost none of them left, and if there are any, then there are a few units that simply need to be put on their feet, and in this war they were used . to date, the modern construction and modeling and production of such high-tech unmanned aerial vehicles has already advanced so much that we simply do not need to fly in short-term flights, there are things that fly and fly further faster and bring benefits much more.

thank you, we remind you that yevhen dykiy, head of the national antarctic science center, public activist, former battalion platoon commander, aidar and andriy rymaruk, head of the military department of the come back alive foundation, veteran of the russian-ukrainian war, were in contact with the studio. thank you very much for this conversation . we inform you about the most important events that happened in ukraine and in the world, an important message from the president of ukraine, we expect the start of accession negotiations ukraine to the european union for sweden's presidency of the council of the eu, he said this during an online meeting with swedish prime minister ulf christerson. according to the head of our state , he spoke in detail about the situation at the front and the risks of escalation. for the council of the eu, we will be able to start negotiations on the accession of ukraine to the european union, this is a powerful motivator for our army and the common desire of

our society. we believe that this will be a powerful incentive for unity within the eu i am grateful for the humanitarian aid and invite to continue the dialogue in all directions during a personal meeting in kyiv. well, once again, the ministry of defense of the russian federation in the person of the minister of shoigu assures that they are silent on the contact line and they have some kind of truce in place there, but it is not it is also correlated with the evidence of our military eh from the eastern eh, in particular, the direction in bakhmut, they say that the situation has become much more complicated in the last few days, our fighters note, we are monitoring the trends well, and not only in terms of military exclusively military positions the occupiers continue to beat, if we are talking about the donetsk region, today they once again shelled the strongholds of donetsk region, among them kramatorsk and kurakhove

, we will also collect information about the consequences, well, in any case, we understand that the situation remains extremely tense and difficult flintlock so our gunners work, our soldiers hold positions well, let's now look at how our fighters fight near the kryminola, a small plot , after that we continue the analysis here, of course, not the advanced trenches, the position of the artillery is usually much further from the front line. nevertheless, you can’t relax here for a second. enemy drones sometimes fly in and may fly in, so the equipment must be hidden and constantly moved. well, the rsvs must be constantly ready to charge 24 hours a day. there is a lot of infantry on the move. again there were infantrymen or they are moving back, they are leaving or they are coming , they are wondering what it was here, further on, the guys attack again, somehow, this is how the fighter goes to the

callsign square, tells about the surroundings of flint, that is where the muzzles of our artillery are now turned, and that is where the fierce battles are now going on, there were moments when 400,500 shells flew out in the area of ​​the car, well, it was when the beliohorivka crossing was that they were climbing, climbing on that crossing and then they threw more than a lot , how can we succeed, well, now we well, they are holding us, they are holding us, for sure, something bigger so that it would make more sense, well, god played by himself yes, it is not a precise weapon, it covers the hail with squares, but not very selectively, another matter is high-precision weapons such as himers or three with their help, it was possible to thin out the enemy warehouses from bc, and at least the intensity of the enemy artillery has decreased, now the tactics of the so-called barrage of fire, which the russians often arranged, do not work, the delivery of shells

is a difficult and risky process, so now it is the ukrainian artillery that dictates its rules , the battery commander yaroslav says the most important thing in this case - this is accuracy, the fact that they have a lot of it, the fact that they have a lot of ammunition, the question is what kind of results did they give, and it was not the number that determined this result, that is, even then they did not give that result that we gave, uh, well , maybe because of the number, they still had an advantage, but now that we also have a large number, well, it's just, well, now it's a one-goal game. we have a significant advantage now and now yaroslav is here on the front line as a command of an artillery battery but in ivano-frankivsk he has his own business, he has his own pizzeria, now his wife is doing business while he is here in the war yaroslav also works for delivery, but not pizza, but artillery shells, but there is a nuance for russian hares

such a delivery is a surprise, and it is not they who ordered it, but the armed forces of ukraine. it is with the ukrainian paratroopers of the russian rsv tornado, and now it serves in the ukrainian army and constantly hits its former master with tornadoes - this is a modernized bm-21 grad , now it is an rsv in service in paratroopers and hits those who brought it here in the manner of the russian occupiers, the military holds the coordinates of the target , which needs to be worked on urgently, the car moves to the firing position, but almost immediately repulse, now we have to wait for new data, but not for a long time, there are coordinates again for a few minutes and the rsv is in a firing position, then there is the matter of equipment , first three close-range shots, then with the help of our drone, the coordinates are clarified and volleys, this time the military fired all 40 shells with which this rsv was charged, as if successfully. and there is still a

lot of this and manpower so far live and military equipment, but the ukrainian army in particular and the artillery of these paratroopers will systematically reduce it work is an extremely important plot about the work of our artillery and our fighters under flint we are moving on 15:43 minute khrystyna yatskiv we will now talk about economic initiatives and efforts to move somewhere from a dead point the difficult economic situation persists in our country but it is somewhat better than some of the experts could predict at the end of 2022 , oleg penzen, director of the economic discussion club, contact us oleg , congratulations and glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, i am

also your turn. people's deputy of ukraine mrs. nina congratulations and glory to ukraine glory to ukraine i congratulate you, i would like to ask you about the situation in the grain corridor, we understand that it is not in vain. it was one of the main topics during the telephone conversations between president erdogan and the russian dictator and between president erdogan and our by president volodymyr zelenskyi, the topic as far as i understand is extremely important, if, in addition to the questions, i do not know possible terminations in quotation marks, of course, the fire and so on, this topic is heard ms. nino. how do you see history with the present the influence of the grain corridor in general on the international food situation, how it can affect the world community, so to speak, in order to activate it, and what is positive

, especially for our economy, to stabilize the stable exchange rate of the hryvnia, or we very much noticed that we managed to stabilize all these events thanks to the grain corridor, the receipt of significant foreign exchange earnings, if you look now according to the previous data of the ministry of economy, it is precisely the export of grain that went not only by sea, but as an automobile, but still the country received more than 10 billion us dollars, this is a significant contribution of farmers to the stability of ukraine - this is true, but it seems to me that the grain corridor that you are talking about is gaining more and more political momentum, and it is obvious that the president of turkey and uh, even the president of the country of

our enemy, currently the occupier, influences the operation of this grain corridor and continues to conduct various political negotiations . who among our farmers was able to use the grain corridor in what volumes, who regulated the arrival of the products of our farmers on the ships, how did it manage to at least regulate some, more or less, you know accordingly, if the access was regulated, how was the access of our farmers precisely to the supply by sea because well, the scandals that are currently unfolding just bring me to the circle of these questions, which i am sure we need to know

in order to be convinced that in addition to this expert income, it is possible for our agrarians to ship a significant part of products that they grew, after all, we had some kind of more or less consensus on this issue and gave access to the grain corridor not only to large and selective companies, an extremely important point, which adds to the business of exporting or selling abroad, so additional how do you see the situation in the grain corridor, so to speak? papaninina just mentioned the issue of the live queue, so to speak. well, i'm being a little ironic. well, look, last year they exported about 39 million tons of grain, er, the most indisputably is corn and wheat well

but in any case, it should be understood that uh, 39 million is less than usual, we have an export potential of more than 50 million. well, in principle, it is really on the order of 10 billion. we received dollars, about 2/3 of the total volume of exported grain went through the grain corridor and simply it should be mentioned just in case that 60% of the export potential of ukraine is held by the five largest traders 60%. by the way, of the five traders who actually keep there, there is not a single company with ukrainian registration , in my opinion, the seventh or eighth is nibulon. of this, there is a luid rave, there is a bunker there, cardio , well, that is, there are companies that are global companies with international capital and, in fact, they are

the main exporters through the grain corridor , and when you and i talk about uh, what actually interests mr. erdogan so much well, this is absolutely understandable. because, firstly , 22-23% of the value of ukrainian grain settles in the so-called region and the ukrainian grain hub created in turkey , and secondly, it is actually the opportunity to dispose of this grain and send it to that address which actually to some extent raise the rating of erdoğan's panel among the leaders of the region of the middle east and north africa, this is also an extremely important thing for him, so i want to say that from a political point of view, the preservation of the grain corridor is extremely important for the president and let's remember the attempt of the er-e occupier to actually disrupt the

grain corridor and erdogan's reaction he said well do it then the grain corridor will work without the russians and absolutely clearly security will be ensured in the er-e by the turkish navy after those statement, the russians immediately returned to the grain corridor, well, that is, we have to understand that the interest in reprimands is extremely high, so i have 100% confidence that the grain corridor will be preserved in the future as an export direction, it must be understood that there are not enough ports that exist today the mykolaiv branch of the ports is practically not working in our country. but everything must be done, you understand. until this part of ukraine, which concerns the left- bank part of kherson, is freed , they will practically leave because, uh, we will understand that near ochakov, there is the kinburn spit, it’s

all shot through and nobody will lead because it’s extremely dangerous. but everything is fine , it’s necessary to understand that the grain corridor has worked and it’s extremely positive from the point of view of ukraine, actually, ukraine’s initiative to increase exports within the framework of the grain agreement, they are currently focused on ensuring faster inspection of ships than on opening new ports, as mr. oleg said. of course, in the future, this is also our priority . what is the point of opening more ports if inspections and inspections create traffic jams, so to speak, respectively, on the route, so, yes, and dear online guests, i would like to ask a few questions related to the general economic condition of our country, which has already been noted, according to a preliminary estimate, the gdp of our country fell by 30 .4% and this is official data from the ministry of

economics, and there is an error of about 2% , it may be that it is objectively the worst result since independence, but it is better than most experts expected at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, there were estimates and 40 and 50% drop in gdp and more. please tell me , ms. nino, by what account do you think it was possible to reduce the severity of the economic blow from the war? for example, ukrainian grain, because everything seemed extremely dramatic, but some problems are solved along the way and new initiatives appear and it works. well, first of all, our first question is related to yours, which you just asked me, because if it were not for the opening of the

grain corridor, then we would did not have such successes and there were significantly more drops in gdp. what did the experts say when analyzing the situation surrounding it? this is absolutely obvious, and i would just like to finish the topic of the grain corridor. i absolutely trust this information that was voiced, but one more thing should be noted, but now we have heard that it has already begun there are scandals at odesa port and odesa customs regarding the grain corridor, so i would like to know how much grain from the company got on the ship, let's say zero that were registered recently they shipped a huge amount of grain because the complaints of medium and small farmers that they bought their products for nothing is very high and we have to remember this all the time because the number of

farmers who have to work in ukraine should be much larger i always compare our 50,000 farmers with several million to two million farmers in poland in the next volume, here the question is still open regarding the preliminary data announced by the ministry of economy regarding the drop in gdp. i would like to point out that for it seems to me that this number can be calculated in some other way , because in reality, we have at most 50% of production volumes restored, if you also take the number of enterprises that did not open, which re-registered, and which entrepreneurs started working in other countries and not in in ukraine, after all, the situation is much worse in our country, but since the grain corridor worked, and we have to give the blame, how

can you say, but our ukrainian enterprises and entrepreneurs did not work thanks to, but still concentrated more on its own capabilities and our entrepreneurial spirit, if it were, damn it, because we can always quickly rebuild and show ourselves in the best way, that's why our zhylka is so entrepreneurial, it worked, and in this case, we can speak from an academic point of view to explain it all, but only thanks to the reorientation of the cohesion and dedication of our medium and small businesses, we have such results because the industry has fallen so much and we can see it now in terms of the export component. what happened where in our country

we have always shared the largest and most sustainable types of products that we exported , that is, i was very impressed by the fact that we exported, for example, sunflower seeds 33 times more than last year, an example is also there soybeans and other products, but all these are agricultural products. and if we take industrial products products, here we have a significant, significant drop, well, accordingly, an extremely important moment, mr. oleg, i would like to ask you to respond to the information that we have now received from ms. nina zhanina, in particular , perhaps it is worth implementing some i do not i know an honest, transparent and understandable mechanism is about the possibility of access for all players, we understand that the bottle neck is not a rubber one, so to speak. well, but maybe some kind of clear and understandable mechanism would help to organize something like

this . between the state and business because, on the one hand, they say that it is necessary to somehow tighten everything there, on the other hand , entrepreneurs are not happy, well, look, when you and i talk about customs, we talk about it we have already said so much that, well, in reality, all the problems that have been raised regarding uh, recently registered companies , through which huge exports, in particular grain, uh, are first of all a matter of customs and need to be cleared extremely seriously. i think that this is a very big issue. challenge for the state and there are bedrooms here inna 100% agree when you and i are talking about sunflower seeds, really count them well, more than three million were sent in that year this is much

more than it was uh, despite the fact that uh, 3.3 million we sent e-e oil for export if take into account that in general we produce oils somewhere on the order of half a million tons and 450,000 is the domestic market, so we did not send 2 million tons of oil, well, count and this is primarily the impossibility of ensuring proper export because it is mainly a grain corridor it's just shameful, all the oil went in tankers through the western border, and the throughput there is extremely small, so the expansion of the er assortment through and actually what can be exported through the grain corridor? well, when we talk about the er drop gdp well, look, in the first quarter, we fell by 15%, in the second, third, fourth, and

quarter of 2022 , it was much more than 30 m. due to blackouts, the level of gdp decline is greater than expected. so, uh, all this suggests that the negative trends will probably continue this year. the currency fund drew a plus one percent, and the harvard school of economics drew minus one percent ago, the proximity of the international monetary fund to the truth is probably true, and we, as independent economists, estimate that the growth of ukrainian gdp in the 23rd year will probably be at most one percent because of
