on certain conditions, it is ready to negotiate with the russian federation regarding crimea, only the administration of president zelenskyi can determine whether and when he is ready to enter into negotiations, in what context, and about what we believe that there can be no negotiations on ukraine without ukraine, in odesa, an official of a military unit took money from soldiers this was reported by the press service of the state bureau of investigation . it is noted that the man demanded from his subordinates to give him part of the funds from the monthly allowances established for the period of martial law, in case of refusal, he threatened problems with completing the service and even physical violence. so he managed to collect more than 600,000 uah from his subordinates

, the law enforcement officers recorded more than 30 facts of extortion. the chpp stops unscheduled for repairs, as is known, the cherkasy thermal power plant had to suspend its work from the ninth of april after the end of the heating season from a place just inside the station had an accident on the network from the cherkasy thermal power plant, so friends, something is actually stopping the work of the cherkasy thermal power plant on providing the coolant to it with a hot upa, the story of the unconquered is the name of the book by the historian and politician volodymyr vyatrovich , the author wrote it in collaboration with three colleagues, and the book became the fourth in the publication, it reveals the archives that were hidden by the soviet authorities about the ukrainian insurgent army, the work is illustrated with a large number of photos

of documents and testimonies of participants from the archives of the security service of ukraine and the center for research of the liberation movement. this book is a popular science history of the ukrainian army. it is an answer to the question of how and why we are winning this war. it is, accordingly, the question of where we come from. this strength to resist a seemingly much stronger enemy is also the answer that seems to me to be given by everyone. opportunities for us to win in this war, we have the same bander zeal that the ukrainian rebel army had , but unlike them, we have much better weapons, we have the support of the world, we have the fact that this is already a war in which practically everyone is involved ukrainians is a unique book. because it contains a lot of photos from private archives from various e-buried e-e canisters and so on. in other words, this is material that

cannot be found anywhere else, probably in popular literature in ukraine, and this is an attempt to explain the upa in simple words . in algeria, a kid jumped on his mother during the ramadan prayer in the mosque, a video of the moment was published on social networks, the brawler imperceptibly slipped between the believers and jumped on his mother. continued to read the prayer, the witnesses of the incident recorded the event on video and shared it on the network, and that was all the news at that time . our team is working so that you will see the updated news release at 2 p.m., i am iryna koval, i

will say goodbye to you until tomorrow, literally in a moment the broadcast will continue. my colleague serhii zgorets. welcome to the espresso channel. today in our program we will talk about new weapons for our army, about weapons that our military wants to have on the front lines in the largest quantities - these are new mortars and mines to them, that's why two events that happened this week were extremely important. the first is that ukrainian private companies announced that they are already mass-producing and supplying domestic ammunition to the army. we are talking about mortar rounds of a caliber of millimeters, but i hope that there will be other calibers as well, and the second event already of an international scale - this is an agreement between the presidents of ukraine and poland on the purchase of self-propelled mortars from the polish holding pgz for our

armed forces, we have not had such weapons yet so how is it together and new ammunition and new mortars will strengthen the combat capabilities of our army and what needs to be done so that both our production and our tactics of using these mobile systems are scaled in the armed forces as quickly as possible, we will talk about this with our industrialists and our military my name is serhiy zhoretskyi , the director of the information consulting company defense express, which, together with the espresso channel , tries to highlight the most relevant events in the life of our defense industry and our troops and now we have vladyslava belbas joining us - this is the general director of the company ukrainian armored vehicles vladyslav i welcome you to the broadcast of the espresso channel and thank you for responding to our offer to tell a little about the successes of your company. good day, thank you for the invitation. well, first of all, i would like to congratulate you that your company so

quietly and without unnecessary fuss did an important job, namely, it was reported that the ukrainian armored vehicles company resumed full-scale production of 60 mm mortar rounds and actually already supplied the armed forces more than 1,100,000 units of such ammunition and i would like to start our conversation with the question of what it means to resume, how much effort would it take for the company to do all the previous work to go out again to restore these mortar rounds thank you for the question that to resume production meant that initially multiplication of the headquarters aggression of the russian federation, our company has lost part of its production capacity. if the temporarily occupied territories are now

located in transfer of production capacity to another region, relocation of not only equipment, but also personnel, development of production technology in another place, and as we all know , the situation with the supply of components is still difficult because there is an overload of all manufacturers of weapons of military equipment with orders, that is why there is a long queue, and there are large shortages of water supply and so on. and restoration was meant that the company had developed, tested and delivered to the full-scale invasion in 2018 weapons 60-millimeter mortar round, this is the only ukrainian mortar round that was developed during the time of independence and was put into service in full

, on which it was tested and just eh eh he eh organized such production already after the loss of capacity eh and the company succeeded a year after the start of the full return. and when we talk about these bybs , we are talking about the implementation of the state defense order that was in front of the company. was it an initiative work that was carried out fenot in the space of this one extreme year . yes, of course, the supply of ammunition is a state defense order, therefore, specific numbers or specific terms. and eh, the production of eh at the relocated

capacities of the enterprise was carried out at the expense of own boiler costs, so you emphasize that you end up there, minus what is the difference, why t- these are important, just emphasize the fact that this it is a mortar shot because this shot is uh fully equipped nina which has which is equipped with uh a detonator which is equipped with additional powder charges uh for the ability to work the shot for i apologize for the tautology for the ability to shoot at the maximum and uh this kit is packed in a separate sealed container that can be stored for a very long time. this is the development

of the shot itself . began in 2017, according to the technical task of the ministry of defense of ukraine, when vladyslav said that this is the only ukrainian mortar round that is manufactured by domestic defense industrial companies, can we say that all the components of this shot are actually ukrainian there is a case, there is a detonator, a powder charge , a cartridge, a gasoline igniter, these components are all ukrainian, or are there things that we are forced to import in order for this to be a shot? well, it had such a perfect appearance, unfortunately, unfortunately, not all of them the components of the shot are ukrainian because there is no gunpowder production in ukraine, for example, therefore, we are constantly working

on increasing the localization of the production of the specified shots . you supplied the armed forces with one hundred thousand mines. this indicator is determined by your capacity or is it determined by the request of the ministry of defense. no, so far, this is the total number that was delivered of this type of mines of our production capacity. the company has much larger ones and there is an opportunity to increase the specified production, but with a planned order with appropriate financing and with appropriate planning , the understanding of the further order regarding

the order of the 60 mm non-caliber was literally yesterday on the censor resource. i saw the publication of a person who is part of the e-e structure that has e-e again the anti-corruption committee within the ministry of defense and there was a list of potential orders that the general staff and the ministry of defense e-e directed for manufacturers i was surprised by the amount. in fact, it is only about an order for 15,000 mines of 60 mm caliber, about 15,000 knin. according to your capacity , this is the owner. that's why i can't. there, i don't have access to the need that is mentioned there. yes, but as far as i understand

, the ministry of defense has already contracted for certain volumes of 60 mm mortar shots, and these are the needs that are not yet closed at the moment but as far as we know er 60 a lot was transferred to the ministry of defense by our partners at the beginning of last year. in addition, a lot was delivered to our company, so it seems to me that for replenishing the ammunition of 60 mm mortar rounds, the need is much, much greater . the tero forces should be equipped, which are significant in terms of their number and should be equipped with such mortars, but it must be said about the large volumes of supplies by import of such ammunition, because it is ammunition

of let's say nato caliber in the soviet union there were no 60-caliber dynamite and, accordingly, mini-shots, 60-caliber 60-mm mortar shots, which were just er, they started supplying only in ukraine from 2017-18 . and are there any reviews from our military who understand what i understand ma- can compare the mines of different manufacturers, how adequate are they, how are they there , how accurate are they, how accurate are they? can supply such products by import for the needs of the armed forces of ukraine, therefore, we have a complete picture regarding these new parameters and technical parameters, and here i can confidently state that our shots

are, firstly, high-quality, and secondly, they are responsible for the technical parameters are no worse than those supplied to us by import . but in addition to this, it should be noted that we are also in a very competitive price situation in terms of the price we write. we offer the customer a very competitive price and the majority supply of e-e to ukraine this is higher than ukrainian-made mines, that is, it could be that omon is better that you supply a shot, a shot is usually more expensive than a mine, but even under these conditions, your price indicators are completely acceptable for our ministry of defense absolutely and when if our company could in order to get a planned planned planned order, we can ensure the supply

of 60 mm mortar rounds cheaper than what is offered. it is difficult to buy what is the picture on the foreign market now, have the prices jumped, what is going on there, the prices have jumped significantly , especially for mortar rounds , there are more calibers, 120 mm, 82 mm, and for 60 mm mines, the prices have not jumped so much, the prices will rise a lot on artillery shots and , accordingly, on the components for them, this applies to the increase in the cost of energy carriers in europe . last year ago, there is such a thing as regards production capacity, in principle, all manufacturers are now maximally

loaded with orders, both for ukraine yes, actually, we are the defense forces. maybe in the future we will be supplied for ukraine or to supplement our own needs, and it is quite difficult to get any offers or find production volumes for the coming year. and what is the most critical for your company right now from the point of view of capacity expansion, which understands only the planned order. and from the point of view of the production of machine tools for the staff, this is quite enough, and here you can say, well , there is no need for any additional efforts. look, from the point of view of production, the staff of the metalworking is all problems, but these are problems that are solved correctly in a certain gap, key problems, these are the main problems, after all, it

is the component base for the production of gunpowder , yes, that is, what in ukraine, what in ukraine managed to lose, uh, i mean the zirka plant in shostky and what, unfortunately, they have not been able to restore or somehow bring back to life for 7 years, and that is why it is precisely those components that cannot be organized in the short-term perspective of the production of supplies in our country, that is , look first of all at the bottleneck foreign powders work like this. detonators for mines are our product, it is also imported, i would not like to reveal all the details, but it is a production capacity, and there are supply opportunities in ukraine, are you going

to choose mines of larger calibers, not only are we going to actively where do we stand, yes, at the beginning of 2017, a trial and design work was signed somewhere , and available design work was implemented for amines of caliber 60-82 and 120 mm. it’s just a company, since it implemented the researcher’s design work at its own expense and from its own working capital. funds and these are quite long-term and high-cost projects, so they were implemented one by one, and i think that in the near future we will be able to present something in this regard. has the relationship with the ministry of defense changed during the year of the war ? we remember this difficult period before in the active phase when

the mine tests took a long enough period, it was necessary to shoot a significant amount of ammunition to prove the compliance of the e-e characteristics with various requirements . are there any relations with the ministry of defense now? well, more adequate interaction with our military, communication with the customer, as we call transcarpathian defense, has become much easier, and there is a lot of special things there during the march-april period. in bureaucratic wars and uh, here the issue is just uh, the complication of the processes of the cabinet of ministers is adopted there , mutually exclusive resolutions uh are prioritized

, for example, some manufacturers uh, without giving sufficient weight to other manufacturers, this is what i have on i mean the example of the purchase now through the state special forces of unmanned complexes, where the manufacturers of the equipment have the right to invest 25% of the profit in the cost of the complex , while all other manufacturers of weapons of military equipment can only invest 1% of the purchased components and 30% for own works. therefore, this is such a discrediting sign. yes, for example, in the current legislation , besides that, it cannot be said that the admission to operation has somehow become easier, or is there any planned procurement in
