there is indeed a question of dialogue because there, let's say, according to the conclusions of the committee members, there are certain corruption risks, and we immediately initiated yesterday in our committee today the question of changing approaches in the calculation methodology of food for military personnel, the minister is about those 170 eggs hryvnias per dozen, the minister noted that the eggs in that catalog and in the corresponding appendix to the contract were defined in terms of caloric content and kilograms. we did not see the facts of abuse by the members of the committee. at the same time, there are certain corruption risks that we will eliminate, and the most important thing is that since the beginning of the large-scale aggression , parliamentary control and co-control of our committee in the

field of defense procurement has been significantly weakened, taking into account the fact that it was necessary to adopt very quickly and operationally the decision, taking into account the majority of the increase in the number of personnel of the armed forces of other components of the security and defense sector, and therefore these procedures, which we usually controlled very carefully, was blessed some control according to the results of yesterday 's meeting, a decision was made to renew the parliamentary control and control of our committee over all areas of procurement, and in addition, we made another important decision that yesterday, by the way, we already registered a bill based on the results of the committee's meeting on the declassification of a large part of defense purchases that are not have a direct connection with ensuring the security of the state, that is, food products will be purchased in the near future using the most transparent procedures, and i think that questions it will be significantly less, and at the same time, for me personally. let's just say that not all the explanations

of the ministry of defense, the minister, who answered the units, were convinced . restrictions on access to information, so they need to be studied in specially equipped rooms, but i will deal with this, not all explanations, not all arguments were convincing to me, so i think that according to the results of the analysis, and most importantly, according to the facts that were made public by your colleagues, the state bureau of investigation of the security service of ukraine, the national anti-corruption bureau, but a number of criminal proceedings and committees, so that they could conduct all the necessary investigative actions as quickly as possible and provide the public and the committees with information about the existence of those abuses or about the absence of these abuses in which

certain officials were suspected, but for me personally, not all the explanations were convincing, so i want to understand in more detail and i think that according to the results of yesterday's meeting of the committee and this issue is under the personal control of the president to rule out any personnel changes in the ministry of defense. we also will not, mr. fedor, what kind of communication should there be from the authorities in such a difficult time for the country. when do such scandals arise because the first reaction of the ministry of defense was that they would turn to the sbu, because such investigations undermine national security during the war. that it was they who made a mistake in the calculations and the prices , uh, kyrylo tymoshenko again rode on uh, pickup trucks, uh, well, that is, they saw him, that

he was driving a pickup truck that was provided as humanitarian aid, then they saw me. well, he said that there was more doesn't ride but we didn't see any video, i don't know or what, how these cars are really handed over to those people who need them on the front lines before that , the arrester is such a rude blunder, society was outraged. he also had rude blunders, but no one reacted to it, because here here's a blunder i was just referring to the fact that this is, well, this is a national tragedy. yes, uh, and he wrote a statement, but there was no explanation of what this person was doing in the state, she was in the state, freelance, why, if she was freelance, wrote a statement for dismissal , uh, why was she kept and so on, nothing ukraine society is a kind of bakana, but it is also very unclear, for example, and there is no communication about it either. that is, you are talking about parliamentary control, but there is also control in the form of, for example , mass media and independent mass media, mass media

that can ask questions or not ask questions because they are not allowed to those people who can add questions receive feedback from the authorities when very, very when the lack of information gives rise to some guesses e fear tension and so on what should communication be in your opinion or such as they she is now i fully agree that communication should be absolutely operational and lightning-fast for any such scandalous situations that arise in our various spheres that are primarily related to the security and defense sector during the war, but your i would divide the question into several difficult ones. because there are different cases here and the reaction should be when we are talking about some er facts of abuse, such as removal from office in connection with some er violations of the law, then here is the sphere

of competence of law enforcement bodies cannot interfere in the process of pre-trial investigation , even we, people's deputies of ukraine , on this matter there are several decisions of the pension court, we can only exercise general control, but in relation to specific criminal we should not be given information about the proceedings, because it is a secret of the pre-trial investigation, so when we talk about criminal proceedings, about the verification of certain facts that have already become the subject of criminal prosecutions, criminal investigations, here we definitely cannot provide any comprehensive information until the investigation will be completed, the case will not be transferred with an indictment to the court, when we talk about the reaction of, for example , the ministry of defense to the fact of the investigation of journalists, then you know here. well, the reaction is the first that the publication of such information harms national security is, well, in simple words, an absolutely stupid reaction of the ministry of defense such a reaction such a such a reaction is unacceptable, it is necessary to immediately explain that

there are certain mistakes made by those with the contractor company in calculations and in changing those indicators of those e- e units of measurement that are indicated in the documents where there are kilograms of pieces and so on, the calorie content is mixed up and this is the problem of one or another contractor, but this should be told to people because it is undeniable that when we see this, you know, the unity of the people and people donating their last pennies to the armed forces of ukraine, and there is even a small suspicion that abuse is taking place, unfortunately, we have, er, not very small suspicions, because not only food products, as a member of the committee of defense security, i can say that at the beginning of the war he personally initiated several criminal e-e investigations into various abuses, including in the ministry of defense in the field of procurement of not only food products but also weapons equipment, because in my opinion as a specialist, some

items were clearly purchased at prices that do not correspond to their real value, but this is again a matter of pre-trial investigation - this is exactly the field that is related to state secrets, because it already concerns weapons the reaction to some senseless statements must also be absolutely lightning-fast and very sharp, therefore, communication by society in wartime, especially against the background of such very sensitive issues for citizens, must be very fast and, let's say, very detailed to explain the government's position on certain issues, and i think it is worth working on it, if the topic is simply possible, why is there not the same lightning reaction? well, you understand it. i think that those are the people who should react, from whom we would also like to hear an explanation they understand it. i absolutely agree with you that

it should be a faster reaction, but here you have to take into account that there are a number of very important aspects in the conditions of war. for example, the president, the leadership of the president's office and the leadership of the parliament, it is now the number one priority - it is the holding of various negotiations at meetings and er speeches in front of those partners who ukraine gives weapons, financial assistance and so on , so sometimes it does not always objectively determine very well if no, i don't have time to react quickly, but these should be lessons that we should learn, that we should draw conclusions from . in fact, it would be possible to include it in these videos , such as an explanation of what the process is going on or what is his reaction to the week of the laying of this statutory e-e fund of

1,000 hryvnias to spend 13 billion hryvnias on the purchase of those products, well, well this is what it will be. first of all, the president reacts precisely in his daily speeches to such sensitive things and he also announces personnel changes and investigations, criminal proceedings and so on, and as for the companies, i forgot to say about it. by the way, this issue was also yesterday was the subject of a careful analysis by the members of the committee, it cannot be carried out let's say there is no linear dependence on the size of the statutory fund and therefore the financial support of the corresponding company that provides or which won the competition and tender and provides food products for military personnel or provides a service for the organization of food, we yesterday today, the committee decided that the members of the committee will visit all those companies that provide services for the ministry of defense in the organization of food for military personnel for the purpose of checking

if they have the material and technical capabilities of warehouses and means of production capacity to provide food, not always a company with a statutory fund of uah 1,000 lacks large e-e fixed assets because there are many examples when small statutory funds do not prevent having many billions in equipment whether to buy equipment for hundreds of millions of dollars, that's why there is no direct correlation here, but the committee will find out all the companies, there are not so many of them, it is not possible to disclose how many there are, but there are not very many of them a long time ago, we will all inspect it and be able to say for the citizens of ukraine that there is reason to doubt that these companies can ensure the proper level of food for military personnel or not . how should i

say it correctly, is all that is important for ukraine is the building of a democratic state , so let me briefly ask you . we get the status of a member of the european union and issues of democracy and the rule of law are a priority for the state, but it must be taken into account that in wartime some democratic procedures, including parliamentary democratic procedures, undergo significant modernization and, let's say, such broad discussions in the parliament when adopting a law which were in peacetime is much less now. but this is a consolidated position of all the parliamentary factions of the groups and it is the result of the reaction to the war, so uh-uh, as far as it is now expedient, it continues the existence, for example, of a single news marathon as

the main source, which also has multibillion-dollar funding from the state budget, being such a certain alloy of some oligarchic channels of state channels. this is the existence of such state censorship, which is financed from the budget, and censorship is not military because it is not about war, it is basically about censorship of political life economic issues, that is, there are no issues raised, for example, which are raised, well, relatively speaking, to the same mirror of the week about some process that takes place in the energy market, for example, and so on. that is, we do not have a platform where we can, in principle, discuss sensitive, just as sensitive, any changes in the legislation, in fact, everything there is no such thing, there is only a platform for a speech about the powerful eh,

now speakers at eh in the general national marathon, while some channels, this same espresso, for example, even are deprived of the opportunity to appear on those platforms of digital licenses within the framework of which they are paid, which are paid now, well , that is, without any explanations and legal justification, let's say the deprivation of this broadcasting, that is, in your opinion, has this situation dragged on, that it does not already become such a burden for ukraine, which really seeks to advance faster in the status of, in particular, candidates for european access to the european union, first of all, i want to say that the war waged against us by the russian federation , and we talked about this with you and your colleagues repeatedly have a multi-faceted hybrid nature and the information component is very important, therefore, the reaction to this aggressive information war. it should also be

sufficiently coordinated, harmonized, and the presence of such a platform, which is the only national marathon. and i think that in the conditions of war it is absolutely justified because there are many citizens of ukraine are guided by information from the official speakers of the ministry of defense, the office of the president of the parliament of ukraine, in the single marathon, representatives of the opposition are also present factions, including yesterday, i literally joined the representative of the opposition political force in parallel, and there are no problems with this. as for censorship, i saw no reason to accuse censorship of censorship. there are no prohibitions on the participation of the referee, and i express my own point of view on any issues , even which, let's say, from the point of view of many deputies, are inconvenient, so there is absolutely no reason to talk about some kind of thing about limiting the possibility of communication, so what

some technical points. why don't you come out in digital format? i'm just not ready to tell you right now because i don't know all the aspects of this situation. accordingly, i don't see any reason to accuse us or the authorities in general of any suppression of freedom of speech. i hope that the presenters uh, in the only news, you were asked the same questions and they were not censored. and we asked you. thank you, mr. fedor, for participating in our broadcast. fedya vanislavskyi, people's deputy of ukraine, was with us. we will also talk about the situation at the front. well, before that, we would like to tell you that after the beginning of the large-scale invasion, many of our colleagues joined the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine. well, the rest of the team also cannot stand aside

and apart from the daily struggle on the information front, our colleagues are actively involved in volunteering. i am iryna koval, mother, wife, presenter of the espresso tv channel, a lot of things and that is why it is part of my life. the war found me at home in irpen, an alarming suitcase was packed, but that did not reduce the excitement, explosions every minute, the gostomel airfield is on fire, the russian airfield is in my window, a cold basement, then the whole under shelling from irpen, a month from being abandoned by my relatives , and in the end i ended up in lviv, returned to the volunteers you, together with colleagues, helping our military is now an integral part of life, we collect drones and thermal imagers, weave nets,

and on weekends we are going to prepare vitamin teas for our defenders at the front we all cut the fruits together, we clean the berries, we beat everything and pack it is always very gratifying to think that in a few days this tea will warm the ukrainian soldiers, everyone of you can help even a small contribution to the support of the army saves the lives of our soldiers and brings our victory closer, join the work of our colleagues e- is on the volunteer front and you help our defenders together in the fight against the occupier. well, actually now we will continue to talk about this fight against the occupier with serhiy zgurets, a military expert and company director defense express mr. serhiy good morning good morning vita you must have seen what

happened there gerasimov started complaining that they were not ready for such a war it is so difficult and russia opposes it well in principle they say that but these are his these his words they were directed at someone at the russian audience or did he just really decide to announce the truth to some team to some good gestures of good or whatever they call good-natured, well, in fact, russia has already passed the point of no return and they have no way to i can admit that they are playing, but in any case, now they are not starting to create such a basis for at least some ideology for their actions, because all these things are related to the difficulty of conducting hostilities, installing complexes, e-e, panzer in houses of roofs on the buildings of the ministry of defense attracted cops in the kursk rostov

oblast, all of this is, in my opinion, elements of such an ideological russian company directed primarily at the russian population that actually uh we are at war with the whole uh world actually with the whole of nato with the combined states and all these statements of officials that are heard from the medvedev side and from the subscription side, now they have joined this chorus and gerasimo says that they are trying to ideologically ensure at least some kind of unity on the part of the russian population so that they react less to e- well , that is, to reduce the resistance of the russian population, although it is not significant, and to provide some kind of ideological basis for

immobilization and long-term military operations against ukraine, it’s interesting here, so it’s less common now , well, booths are so popular in russia genre in these war correspondents and there. one of their most popular channels, those telegram channels, they showed some terrifyingly real battle where their correspondent dodges bullets. here there is some kind of attack, they are conducting a terrible mad offensive somewhere just in donbas and in all the international organization that is behind the open the sources simply compare the data by geolocation, they calculated that it was filmed near lysychansk, at least 8 km from the active front , why is it all being filmed?

it showed such tense combat actions where the film crew is shot, they quickly get into the car and say that we are running away and running away, that is, really . tense nature of hostilities, because gerasima also says that we have never fought like this before with such a tense situation, and yesterday a handsome man joined this canoe and started talking about who was there, we can see it they shouted at this military

correspondent . they are creating such a general picture in russia that really, without mobilization, without weapons, without everyone’s contribution, we will not win this war, if we lose, we will all be in trouble. and then, in fact, we well, we have to rally today, so i think that these are all elements of such an ideological basis for, i repeat, the hope of russia to transfer the war into a long-term phase, but this is actually the strategy of the russian federation, it is not a fact that it will be like this, we understand that the gdp of the russian federation is only, let's say, 2% of the world less than on the order of magnitude less than the economic military potential of our allies, in particular the united states and

european countries, mr. serhiu but at the same time, the luhansk occupation administration conducts the evacuation of the family of the russian military are preparing for something or just decided to protect themselves just in case. well, we are talking about the fact that the region is, in principle, one of the directions for the advancement of our troops, we understand that there were publications that in the depths of the luhansk region and the shining of russian equipment in warehouses strikes were carried out by our anti-missile systems, that is, this dynamic of course creates tension for the russian troops, but i would not exaggerate the readiness of the russians to withdraw from their positions because of what is happening now the reverse process is actually the enemy trying there and in the kupinsky zone there and using troitsky's

supplies to saturate the area of ​​the front as much as possible with their own forces, and it is not excluded that the russian counter-insurgency actions in these directions are actually recognized by the leadership of our military intelligence if we see on a large scale the publication of major general skibitskyi, the deputy head of the band, he says that the most expected directions of action of the russian army for more than 2 months are precisely the donetsk and luhansk directions and attempts the russians will create a threat precisely from the north of the kupyansk zone, and that is precisely why you now have significant groupings of russian forces and the same units that were being prepared in belarus . now the same is happening on the border of the luhansk region in order to have a reserve of forces, so because these statements that the russians are there or the military leadership is there somewhere, some areas are left out, i think that this is not against the background of the general

strategy, well, such a step is not completely clear to me, or all the information is possible, not not, not completely accurate, or some facts that so far i i don’t know myself, but i’ll repeat the area from the north and the zone of luhansk donetsk. it will be just the closest , no more hot spot in the near future to be added to you in the fighting around bakhmut and part of the zaporizhia front, at least this is the information provided by the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, eh. does it mean something, they and and they know about the fact that the evacuation works. i wanted to say that we are a boarding house recently. well, we are already there. 12 phrases have already been sacred for a year. decisive, but not of any kind, not definitively decided, but from this last week, there were two statements that were again about decisive. after all, duda, the polish president, scared us all a bit when he said that the next couple of weeks or whatever, a few weeks will show that

ukraine will survive at all in this war, how do you interpret it for yourself, well, the carp michel also decided to keep up with our favorite, how should i say it well, there will be no map, don’t soshma khala, but his such uh, this uh colleague said so and that too about what is literally in the next a couple of months will definitely become decisive on the front, how do you understand it for yourself, why do western politicians make such statements, they know something, but in fact, when we say hostilities, there are many factors that must be taken into account, to be honest, but the influence of each factor on the introduction of hostilities must be predicted it is quite difficult, and we really understand that 2-3 months of e-e exit- the possibilities of maximum involvement of those were e-e formed or will be formed now in the first

wave of mobilization also in and this information about what is there, until the end of march, there is a task before the russian troops, you will be on the border of the luhansk and donetsk regions, you are carrying out this political task for putin and uh, with uh, on the front line, there is such a thing, let's say, the accumulation of forces from both the parties are in no hurry to take the first step, and thus raising the stakes in this war and in fact now in everyone understands that in the near future we will really say so 2-3 cities in the medium term there or the corps of a short- term perspective allows us to make estimates that will take place of some kind such breakthrough changes on the front line, but de facto we have to understand that any

forecasts are usually difficult to forecast and i think that a matter of two or three months will be a sign of some active hostilities from one side or another parties, but the consequences of these actions will depend on the same. from many, and to talk about the fact that depending on the hostilities , the character of the war itself will be determined in two or three months, i still think that these are premature estimates from the various ministers. it will not be good to raise this topic. i will be with him other minutes remain too sad and another time like that thank you mr. serhiy serhii ez zgorets was with us a military expert for the 19 express car company, we talked a little about what we should expect in the next two or three months eh stoltenberg nato secretary general said sending to the question will the approval be welcomed germany announced poland

's supply of leopard tanks to ukraine, what is his message, that the allies should supply more heavy equipment and combat systems to ukraine, and this is absolutely urgent, these are his words. i suspect that these, well, somehow they are discussing there about the fact that these two or three months, which can be decisive, uh, our second hour of the marathon is slowly coming to an end, but the marathon continues now at 9:00, traditionally, we honor the memory of everyone unfortunately, the lives of those ukrainians were cut short by russian aggression against ukraine
