[000:00:00;00] there is such an influx of humanitarian aid and such a mess that was at the beginning, it is clear that this is more related to the fact that everyone was in a panic, there were active military actions in the territory of the kharkiv region, but nevertheless this an important fact to record, the second fact that needs to be talked about is that the searches were still carried out in accordance with the notification of the humanitarian aid that was purchased for each state and not transferred in some other way, and here it is very important to understand that these humanitarian aid actually went through the streets, this is not the kind of aid that came from some volunteers or

abroad from some headquarters and the third fact that we can already talk about is that after all, it is probably so positive yes, this is what we all heard that in the country there or in the zaporizhzhia region. and there were facts, e.e., manipulations with the humanitarian woman, but actually an investigation. yes , there was an honest investigation. after all, this is the body that is almost the only one in a country that has such a reputation, it is an honest investigation, and we hope that we will see the facts, concrete facts, what happened there, and what really happened in the 22nd year with the humanitarian, what would we like to ask you? well , as a member of the board of the kharkiv anti-corruption center

i think that there is some understanding, let this understanding be unofficial well, but in certain circles there is an understanding of how large-scale the abuses were in the embezzlement of humanitarian workers, if such facts really existed, or it was, so to speak, with some kind of vertical, i don’t know, or it was abuse on the ground unfortunately, there is no information and well, i am not an investigative body and i am not able to base my opinions on rumors. well, we have no opportunity. the only thing i want to point out is to remind you that in 2022 there in the spring of the summer of the 22nd year uh, remind the tv viewers that at that moment, during that period, humanitarian aid was delivered uh and deaths were measured in wagons, it was there . dozens of wagons that came to kharkiv for the railway. i personally saw these wagons and how logistically they were distributed uh

first at the railway station there in one from the centers and then transported either by the military or around the district, unfortunately the volumes and what exactly was stolen and in what quantity here we can only wait for the official prefiliza from the purchase well in the kharkiv bazaars, for example, they did not sell these or the others. i do not know any typically humanitarian goods it was there, but even in stores there, in supermarkets, it was, well, more or less well-known, yes, in supermarkets there, not in top chains, but in local networks, but here it is difficult to say whether it was sold through a vertical yes or simply brought there by someone conditionally from poland or western ukraine, someone handed it over and just, well, you know, unfair redistribution. once again, i want to repeat that here

we can only wait for the official investigation of the nabu and the court, when it reaches the court , we will already see the details, unfortunately, this is not a very trend for you ah-ah-ah, if it gives a positive yes, we all have a positive. well , in that period it was difficult to have any control i'll just remind you that how it all happened, remember how it all happened, that's why there was no control here, but the nabu, as it turned out, still has some facts and that's why it's conducting these uh-uh , it's clear, thank you, mr. dmytro. well, we'll wait for official messages from the sbu nabu and there the rest of our relevant competent authorities

dmytro dobrobut, a member of the chuguyiv city council, a member of the board of the kharkiv anti-corruption center, we inform you about the importance of time, there is a message about similar situations in other regions, in particular , here a-a there is mmm fresh news that in the special commission of the verkhovna rada of the zaporizhzhia region completed the investigation into humanitarian aid a-a so, the point was that the people responsible for the distribution of this humanitarian aid in the regional military administration did not provide complete information for the investigation and in the end it took a long time to decide what should be done there with this humanitarian woman? actually, and not only in the zaporizhia region, there are some problems with this, in fact, with every region that in one way

or another receives humanitarian aid. in kyiv, the security service of ukraine has also found similar similar schemes, it is conducting searches in the kharkiv region, and we will monitor this properly. and now we have time to read hot news, operational. so, the occupiers in mariupol began to produce fortifications at the factories, they are talking about the dragon's teeth, so-called also launched the production of reinforcements for dugouts at the city's concrete factories. this was reported by the adviser to the mayor of mariupol , petro andryushchenko, who said that the most dragon's teeth were also brought from the territory of russia , and the occupiers began to clear the central passing azov steel from postmos to build fortifications is actually preparing for defense. in this way, the russian occupiers feel that the ukrainian offensive is near. well, regarding the offensive, deputy minister of defense hanna

malyar told details about the coordination of efforts for the defense of bakhmut. so, i quote deputy defense minister hannomalyar, the solution lies in the face of a comprehensive she wrote the analysis and calculations of the likely development of the situation . the operational situation on the spot is monitored and reported to the headquarters 24/7 continuously analyze the actions of the enemy and the dynamics of changes in the situation according to many criteria, guided by the received data , the headquarters predict probable threats and actions from the enemy, operational information and done-analysts directly report to the command of the operational strategic grouping of khortyts troops. situation about the dose of enemy widows and assessments of our capabilities, makes operational decisions and formulates tasks by the unit, i.e. when you hear

in summary, the situation is under control and it is under control, deputy minister of defense hanna melnyk stressed. meanwhile, there is excellent news that ukrainian weapons are being actively produced so that the armed forces of ukraine will eventually use them actively and qualitatively. ukrainian armored vehicles have resumed the production of mortar rounds, they say about 100,000 people who are already in the armed forces of ukraine, so share your successes. unfortunately , at the beginning of the full-scale armed aggression , the company lost part of its production capabilities, and part of the production was captured territories, which remain captured for the time being, so the complexity of the organization of this process was precisely to be able to start mass production in

the pronoun location on the redacted sites and in principle, we have coped with this task during this time. it is about the ammunition are produced according to the nato standard, was it difficult to actually change the production and get closer to all these nato standards, the fact is that we did not change it, we developed these shots , since 2017 the company has been developing and produced these shots passed the state tests already according to these standards, let's say according to these standards, this is already a full-fledged complete shot, which is equipped with additional elements, all the necessary elements are packed in a vacuum and hermetically packed shot therefore, it can be used immediately

in firing positions , let's explain for the audience in plain language what is the difference between a mine of this caliber and a shot, the difference is that the mine can additionally argue with additional charges eh and where they are different packaging and so next that is, the shot is already ready for use , it is fully equipped in a separate tube. well, if we are talking about the specifics of the so-called distribution production, mr. general director , please tell us a little more in detail. let's put it this way, it is dangerous to be a manufacturer of weapons and military equipment, because

the enemy is trying to launch missile and bomb attacks on such manufacturers, and many enterprises have succumbed to such threats, so with the beginning of full-scale aggression the enterprise was relocated with production capacity to other regions, er, you can say without the western region, and er, there was a difficulty in this, because er, our military industry was not very developed in terms of domestic orders, and also er- the transfer of production is also quite a difficult and difficult process, because production is tied to the scientific base, to the material base to the component base, so it is quite a difficult, complex and long-term process. please tell me

what your company does, so to speak. ukrainian armored vehicles yes. we hope that there are still some additional achievements. in other directions, i will finish the previous question about distribution production , therefore the company now produces different products or different components of these products on different areas, therefore it is impossible to destroy the production capabilities of the company at the moment. - the first and regarding the possibility that the active company produces military equipment, about which from time to time both in the past and in the future you you will hear, i would not like to tell you all this in advance, but one of the main products of the company is the armored car novator, one of the main products of the company is a defense vehicle , and this is what the company started with its product portfolio, which in the future was expanded to the production of mortars

of all available calibers in our armed forces , we understand, mr. vladislav, that it is better not to say too much here, so we will not ask you very much at the end, except to ask about the possibilities for expanding your capacities are they because we understand that the projectile hunger in the real war in which ukraine is in is always a relevant topic and not always for us, our western partners can help to completely quench the projectile hunger that exists and hunger in general that concerns and not only er, um, some projectiles and equipment. so, to what extent does ukraine itself have the capacity to produce its own equipment and ammunition? well , as for ammunition, for example, we

have full capabilities for expanding such production. of the component base, of course, part of the component base of the shot was previously and will be imported in the future , not everything is possible to master very quickly, but with that unfortunately, with the market that we have in in principle, this is real and our industrial base is capable of fully mastering the production of all components of artillery shots, mortar shots , and so on, but this is a matter of time, it is a matter of costs, and this issue of planning is very important. in this regard, it is a matter of planning

because the order from the operator from e-e of the ministry of defense, for example, it should be planned, it should be permanent, in such realities, manufacturers can, private state manufacturers can announce, can develop their production, and as for the help of western partners, we must say that they can produce, they can help us, western calibers of ammunition, but they cannot supply us with soviet calibers of the soviet type, and this is what we have, if we do not delay, do not forget to plan and constantly expand to deal with this all the time since we have two parallel processes - this is to develop this production to carry and secure the armed forces of ukraine and in parallel this is of course the transition to the caliber of the grenade model, but we all

understand that even with all this help that we will receive eh this is not enough a fast process because, for example, we were given about 300 howitzers of the 155 caliber, there are millimeters, and the halbets of the soviet caliber 152-122 caliber, we had about 2000. that is , you understand. and if they order and produce it such samples as, for example, france has 80, this is to achieve the saturation of artillery that we have, it should be up to years and years, in which case, yes, vladyslav, see ukroboronprom, together with the polish company , the polish group zbroynevo will jointly manufacture shells in caliber 125 mm for tanks, yes, and the agreement was concluded within the framework of the visit of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi to the republic of poland , ukroboronprom writes about this in its telegram. maybe you

also have some directions of cooperation, i don’t know with our foreign friends of course there are and they are already being actively implemented in other such directions, there are several such projects , several and we, er, er, with the passage of time, when we achieve results, we will have information about them. let's continue this topic with valery ryabikh, military expert, editor of the publication defect express, he knows on the phone p valeriya e congratulations, i congratulate the presenter, i congratulate the tv viewers in the salon, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, so, p valeriya, i just spoke with vladislav belbas, general director of the ukrainian armored vehicles company. he spoke about the successes of ukrainian arms manufacturers and told about the fact that mortar rounds in the armed forces

of ukraine are, of course, a small part of the ammunition that ukraine needs for a successful offensive and repelling all our lands from the enemy. we already know that 1 million munitions as part of the european union program will be provided to ukraine by various states , will it actually be enough to satisfy the hunger for ammunition ? projectiles in the european union, this is only a part of the help that these forces of ukraine need, weapons, in order to achieve the desired result, in particular, the complete cleansing of the territory of ukraine from the occupiers and the exit to the internationally recognized borders. for example , we can say that during the last year

so far, approximately one million 200 projectiles have been delivered from the side of the united states of america alone with the increasing intensity of the use of these munitions, well, one million projectiles may be enough for about six months ago. let's say this the second part of the strategic approaches of the european union, which were approved in particular by the heads of state of the eu countries, was the question of organizing the financing of ammunition production and, accordingly, increasing the capabilities of the defense production of both the eu countries and, let's say, the solution of the issue of the organization reliable supply of the armed forces of ukraine with ammunition , therefore, one of the urgent issues that is there

is on the agenda of the european community is to agree on certain financing mechanisms promising production, because it will be needed to cover the current shortage of ammunition to the eu itself, because within the framework of this transfer, they are giving almost 90% of their own stocks of ammunition for the needs of the armed forces of ukraine to the eu itself. forces of ukraine, the basis of the question whether e-e eu money will be spent only within the framework of the european union for the organization of this production or it can also be used for the purchase of e-e ammunition from other countries-partners in the coalition, but what are the members of the eu and uh, well, at the moment the issue is being resolved and it is being resolved

around exactly the provision of the needs of the armed forces of ukraine, so we hope that it will be precisely in view of this and we will resolve it as best, well, valeriya yes we understand this, the key story, in particular , is about spending billions, so to speak, from the budget of the european union on defense. the european court can hold it until the production capacities of the already existing factories in france, germany and the netherlands are reached, so to speak, but an extremely important signal was received, in particular, during the visit of president zelensky to poland, in a conversation with an englishman, he called on him, so to speak, for poland to show its leadership functions , in particular, in the creation of an aviation, so to speak , corporation of support for the forces of good, in particular , we are talking about ukraine, well, of course, we are talking about

analogies with the so-called tank coalition, which prospects in your opinion to do it quickly and what in your opinion would depend specifically on in poland well because the 29th midi - this is very good but we understand that this is not enough for us well and the f-16 simply outweighs the 29th migen by an order of magnitude well and because it is precisely the president i am announcing these hopes and thanking poland in this way, which by the way was also the first one a year ago to take the initiative to transfer all the available 29 to ukraine and if everything was as poland would have wanted it these decision-makers already strengthened the armed forces of ukraine a long time ago and therefore

here, in principle, the question is that poland should continue this movement and show , let's say, an example to other countries, and among other things, it also took an active part in the formation of common under common approaches to the creation of this -e from the so-called already er-e aviation coalition and er, well here what is very revealing is that precisely these words sound on the eve of the er-e next rammstein, which will soon be in april and which promises to become the very er-e let's say rammstein er -e forces of anti-aircraft defense and creation of the aviation coalition. therefore, these issues will be on the agenda of this meeting, as if we hope that they will

lead to a shift in this issue. and regarding what, let's put it this way, what we are provided together by poland and slovakia, uh, 24 cars, uh... 29 - this is a sufficiently important contribution, of course, but e here it must be understood that without receiving western fighters, first of all, we will not be able to fully build an effective air angle missile defense system, where western fighters should be a separate, very effective component of a in addition to the other, we do not get those opportunities to jump on the enemy within the framework of providing, let's say, the necessary actions both to create the necessary conditions for the successful conduct of a counteroffensive operation and in the future, let's say, to be provided with a reliable anti-aircraft anti-missile defense of our

country, etc. there are also great chances that for example tank police will be created and the aviation police because well, as they calculated in our air forces of the armed forces of ukraine , we need to solve all the issues somewhere about 168 fighters of class 16, 168, you heard the number correctly, yes, it was just 68, it seems to me that these are the four aviation brigades that should ensure the solution of all those tasks that rely on air the forces of the armed forces of ukraine, and in view of the fact that ukraine's partners, which include the current support club of ukraine from among the majority of 50 countries, are currently carrying out a planned transition from

the f-16 aircraft to the latest aircraft such as the f-35 , for example the same netherlands they talked about the possibility of transferring e-e these e-planes that are being replaced precisely in ukraine, there are a number of countries that can also join this club, and of the 2,000 available e well, let's say that in the arsenals of ukraine's partner countries, somewhere around 10%, well , it is painless to transfer to ukraine to ensure its entry as well in the club of these countries that are equipped with modern western-style aircraft and at least this has created, let's say , favorable conditions for our western partners , in particular, in view of the exchange of strong

situational business and interoperability and it is possible to interact with the armed forces of ukraine, in particular, in the aviation component and the inclusion in the pan-european system of ensuring anti-aircraft anti-missile defense. we also cannot ignore one of the hottest topics yesterday, volodymyr zelenskyi’s visit to poland. he should activate a number of such defense-industrial projects between ukraine and poland, and the package of military aid from poland was agreed there, and the armored personnel carrier and the project in the field of public transport are many different. so, in your opinion , what are the most important results of this visit and what prospects for further cooperation between ukraine and poland. poland has and ukraine has a sufficiently long period of high-quality interaction, in particular , let's say yes to the military-technical

cooperation on what was announced by poland, and let's say about the expansion of this cooperation. this is very positive a signal, in particular, as before, the announcement of ukraine's plans to purchase about a hundred polish wolverine armored personnel carriers about the transfer of the same self-propelled mortars from poland , which are supposed to increase the firepower of mechanized units of the armed forces ukraine and, for example, the transfer of a variety of air defense systems, in particular such systems as the peron guided missile systems and it should be noted that, in some projects, ukraine has

long cooperated with including poland. for example, if we take the e-e cancer e-e self-propelled mortar system, then one of the e -munitions options offered for this system is the e-e high-precision ammunition, which also has e-e modifications of the ukrainian defense and industrial complex e -e, and in particular , such weapons allow the destruction of of the first shot, highly protected targets with the help of high-precision targeting. well, let's hope that this military-technical cooperation will continue to grow, and in particular , we also have information about the possibility of organizing cooperation and ammunition production, and in particular, organizing those

of tank shells together with ukrainian and polish valeriu valeriu ryabykh where the french expert worked now live on the espresso tv channel well, there is a lot of important news we just don’t have time to make them public and that’s why we pass the floor to our colleague iryna koval. we already have it ready. this is the most important thing to know at this time. iro, you will tell me this time . thank you, colleagues. defense wait in ukraine at 16:00 news time on the espresso tv channel in the studio iryna koval welcomes all viewers in beijing
