over zhytomyr region. the press service of the 40th tactical aviation brigade reported the names of the victims . -39 this was reported in the air force of the armed forces of ukraine . ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyi responded to the accident . he said that an investigation is currently underway. the control among them is andriy pischikov, callsign jus, ukrainian officers, one of those who helped our state a lot, more than sympathy to relatives and friends to all who knew the boys , the grass of the investigation, because it happened , it is too early to talk about the details, of course all the circumstances will be clarified, of course ukraine will never forget everyone who defended the free skies of ukraine, the investigation is conducted by the state bureau of investigation, experts will study the technical condition of the aircraft and compliance with the rules

of preparation for flights, and will also examine the flight recorders, black boxes the implementation was previously opened under the article of violation of flight rules, three officers with considerable experience were killed, major vyacheslav minka was an instructor and was familiar with various types of aircraft from the beginning of the full-scale invasion, he had 200 flight hours, major serhiy prokazin devoted 24 years of his life to aviation , went from pilot to deputy commander brigade captain andrii pilchukov with the call sign jus devoted 8 years of his life to aviation since february 22, had more than 500 flight hours, he actively lobbied for the transfer to ukraine f-16 aircraft and called for it in an interview with the western media. jus was supposed to become one of the f16 pilots and participated in the air defense of kyiv and other territories , according to radio svoboda. and on the day of the disaster , two planes fell into the gardens of private houses

approximately the distance between by them 300 m none of the local residents were injured the day before in zhytomyr oblast, they said goodbye to the fallen pilots , their comrades honored the memory of the officers by playing a piano on the airfield on which the call letters of the pilots were written, when the musician finished playing the piano was burned the spokesman of the air force of the armed forces of ukraine

, yurii hnata, joined the svoboda ranok broadcast. and was the main driver of the advocacy group for the promotion of many decisions on 16 what can you say about these pilots? to everything, even in honoring heroes, honoring pilots, this is how it is done in the west, pilots on the internet, americans, er, this is a tribute . thus, when everyone can go out like that in that circle . if you showed the pilots where the piano is and say what he was like he is the second or third pilot in his life, for someone it is a mentor, for someone it is a brother and so on. well, accordingly, under the burning piano, the soul of the pilot rises in

the air, this is such a sensitive story and the honoring of pilots in the west, you can already see it here too which also became the norm recently, so about what happened with the pilot, call sign vladislav saveliev, unfortunately, now we are saying goodbye to these pilots, well, but still , we need to move away from the actual soviet stereotypes, not only in the farewell, of course, but in everything else , these are soviet planes, soviet control methods combat operations and so on. now everything is different and today our pilots can even teach our western colleagues a few things . well, it is technologically possible to kill invaders who have a base on the ground and to avoid enemy missiles, and this experience is already shared with our

nato partners in our colleagues , our pilots need exactly planes, planes that can actually be on equal terms to fight with russia, and what the main combat aircraft. today, the one that threatens our aircraft is the su-35 aircraft, so it is necessary to put something against it that can fight on an equal footing with it in the air. which can oppose this aircraft, as you know, the e-16 has undergone several stages of deep modernization and it can be modernized according to this level. it was the f-16 that really was a matter of the right to life. andriy pirchikov, indeed, he was the one who did a lot in terms of communications, in terms of promoting this

i will simply list for a long time what andrii did, he just did not sit still, he just personally gave me a lot of work , very little time, but what he asked to do was what his fellow colleagues asked, what is necessary, it is necessary in terms of information submit to the western audience so that the topic of the f-16 from the first days of the war did not leave the american media, and not only the american and western ones, so that this process was as soon as possible and started and well, as we can see , unfortunately andrii did not succeed in flying the 16- i think my comrades will do it for him, mr. yuryu, but now he is in the active phase of the war . of course, ukrainians also understand hearing your speeches and the speeches of state representatives about the necessity and understanding what is happening in the ukrainian sky about the necessity as in 16

about the protection of the ukrainian sky and therefore such information about the death of ukrainian experienced pilots. this is really something that has shaken society and, of course, there are questions about the circumstances. we know that there is an investigation , but can you now tell us something about the circumstances of this plane crash that is known as of now what are the versions and there is nothing to add here, well, it was conducted, er, it was conducted about this combat aircraft, another combat sortie, which, in principle, is conducted every day with our pilots , our pilots perform one or another tasks every day, both inside the country and, er, on the front one is close to the combat collision line, eh, what has already been made public and the dbr works. so it is clear that now there is an investigation somewhere, i can’t say any details there, or even more so, some of my own assumptions, yes, the pilots are talking among themselves, in principle, they understand what could have happened. yes i am also drawing some conclusions, but we cannot speak publicly because the investigation is ongoing and it is really necessary

for it to end and give some conclusions of its own, all the materials are transferred here without any questions, so we have to wait for this and accordingly draw conclusions, well, i want to say that the sky in general, the sky, as pilots say, does not forgive mistakes, yes, there are mistakes that are made, whether in the sky or on the ground or anywhere or in an organizational matter, here it is necessary to understand that uh, hmm, any little thing can lead to there are such consequences, so what happened there , in which what was the impact, after all, we will wait for the official results, they said that this plane crash happened during the execution of a combat mission, but it is about training, the planes that collided can you explain whether these were training flights or if they were training flights. do they have to take place even for experienced

pilots? they must always fly. the training process never stops. but today we have even a trainer for such flights. in principle, they perform er tasks, combat tasks, so er, what were there? well, i also don’t want to talk there. there will be an investigation somewhere. was it there, er, what were they doing non-warranty cover or other combat tasks? the l-39 is a training and training aircraft. well, it is in the condition, it is also considered a training and combat aircraft. on this aircraft, they also performed tasks closer to the line of a combat collision more than once before. the pilots also performed a combat sortie this time. how are they going in our country? according to the documents, these are combat losses, that’s why it doesn’t matter what kind of l39 aircraft can also

be used as a combat aircraft, mr. ignate . you are taking advantage of the opportunity to be on the air. about that that it took place, well, probably next to the mykhailo mil helicopter factory. hmm, could this place be a target for ukrainian forces, for the forces of those who act against russia. let 's do it, because we know that the ministry of defense of russia usually blames the ukrainian side. the ukrainian side does not always confirm that it was it that made these attacks, but this very place. this plant can be a target. well, i can't say anything like that at all, because we have an air force, i am responsible for that and what is happening on the territory of russia, you know. well let's, although some unofficial representatives of the armed forces of ukraine will comment on this, so no comments in this case. of course, thank you mr. yuriy, the spokesman of the air force

of the armed forces of ukraine, yuriy ignat, was on the air freedom of the morning. thank you for participating, this is the freedom of the morning . these topics that resonate with you, you can comment on everything during the live broadcast on the radio freedom channel and i will also remind you that on weekdays every day from 9:00 we are here on this channel on youtube and also on the air of the espresso tv channel and further on this air we will talk about such topics, the new scandal in the ministry of defense is related to corruption, reznikov offers a pair of journalists, a weaver and the head of the anti -corruption committee, and if it turns out to be wrong , he promises to resign. the scandal, is it really that the defense earns money from the uniform and will varshenkov hold his own this time in the ministerial chair

, all the evidence points to kyiv , an article appeared in a german newspaper with this headline derzhpigel journalists with a message to their sources in the investigation claim that the german law enforcement officers have practically no doubts about the involvement of ukraine in the explosions on the nord stream gas pipelines . that you can subscribe to radio svoboda moje in all social networks in order not to miss notifications about important news, and stay here on youtube on the channel radio svoboda in order to keep abreast of important events until the end of martial law corruption in ukraine can be equated with treason ukrainian deputies will receive a draft law with such an initiative in the coming week in an interview with journalists 1+1 nataliya moseichuk told

the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy to the legislator ukraine will be offered its proposals on equating corruption with high treason during wartime. of course, i understand that such a weapon cannot operate permanently in society, but only during wartime. i think it will help or whether the parliament will support such a proposal. zelenskyi does not know. the details of the bill remain unknown . however, it is worth noting that such a statement by volodymyr zelenskyi appeared against the background of another investigation by journalists regarding alleged corruption in the ministry of defense, in particular, regarding the purchase of military jackets, a short version of the investigation, as well as the positions of all parties will be told by my colleague oleg olezhe, hello , what is wrong with jackets for the military, and what are the accusations of journalists answered in the ministry of defense in response, greetings

to the viewers of svoboda ranok, indeed, the investigation of journalists of ukrainian pravda and the mirror of the week made a lot of noise, data that the ministry of defense last year purchased aircraft equipment for the military from the turkish company vector, the price of which increased threefold during delivery, journalists say, from $29 to $86 per piece, journalist for mirrors of the week, yuriy nikolov reported at the beginning of august that this is part of the same invoice, here the numbers are 1,900 pieces, it costs 86 bucks each, and a total of $421,421,000 for the whole batch, which at the beginning was 142,100 bucks for the whole batch and from camouflage jackets, i.e. simple camouflage jackets, became winter ones, this case was also dealt with by law enforcement officers separately , the facts of alleged corruption were considered at the parliamentary committee on anti-corruption policy of the verkhovna rada

, ukrainian truth and journalist mykhailo tkach in his investigation found out that one of the owners of the turkish company, which probably received a total of 30 million dollars from the ukrainian ministry of defense for clothing for the military until february of this year, was a nephew people's deputy of the servant of the people faction gennady kasai, 26-year-old handball player oleksandr kasai, now he is no longer a co-founder of the company, according to the journalist tkach, oleksandr kasai ceased to be a co-owner of the company after the ukrainian law enforcement officers opened proceedings regarding the jackets, and the only owner of the company who received a word from the law enforcement officers mykhailo's investigation explains the suspicion. roman pletnev remains to talk to young businessman oleksandr kasai to journalists. but his uncle, the people's deputy, assured by phone that i didn't know anything about the fact that the nephew was a co-owner of a company that received funds from the ministry of defense for clothing. let's listen to a fragment of this phone conversation . i didn't know anything about the question. that

's when i saw it. i have nothing to do with this company at all. what did the nephew do? there was, so to speak, a founder or something like that, i did not know that, the public anti-corruption council at the ministry of defense of ukraine stated that the purchased jackets were winter ones, and the ministry of defense agreed to allow the members of the anti-corruption council to the warehouse where the remnants of the jackets are kept and also to provide information to which military units they were handed over to hear the feedback of the ukrainian defenders who wore them, the minister of defense of ukraine oleksiy reznikov, in turn, and responding to the investigation in a comment with a sigh , babel suggested to the pair that it sounds like this if it turns out that the ministry of defense really supplied 180,000 summer jackets instead of winter jackets, she resigns . if it turns out that the supplied jackets were winter and not summer, then the deputy

in ukraine, the head of the parliamentary committee on preventing and countering corruption at this council must issue a mandate to ukrainian pravda journalist mykhailo tkach to resign from the publication and stop doing journalism for three years, while promising that the ministry will provide all the necessary information to clarify the circumstances of the corruption to the council on its turn and offered the minister to deny until today, that is, until 9 am on august 28, that the nephew of the people's deputy of the defense committee of kasai was a co-owner of the company that supplied these jackets, as well as the fact that he paid for the defense jackets are three times more expensive than this is stated in the document from the turkish side , if reznikom does not deny it, then he must resign. on facebook, the prime minister and investigative journalist mykhailo tkach suggested that minister reznikov conclude purchase contracts at market

prices, not with a couple, but with a couple, not with relatives of the servants of the people. the minister of defense of the country can afford the last wars only in private and only when he has the sense to defeat the enemy also at the expense of strategic planning , including the purchase of winter uniforms for protective equipment and what is very important drones yes, sir , the ministers of those wedding drones in particular three years later you p there may not be a minister in the country and i will continue to do my job how events will unfold we will see further during this week well, indeed , president zelenskyi promised in an interview that corruption during martial law can be equated with treason, but it is not known whether he said this in connection with this case or not. katya, i will only remind you that this is not the first procurement scandal of the ministry of defense. previously , the mirror of the week reported that the ministry of defense buys food for servicemen at twice the three times the price than in the shops of kyiv, this is the so-called scandal of eggs for 17 hryvnias, the defense
