[000:00:00;00] vitaliy portnikov and top experts on the most striking events of the last seven days, our guest will be the generator of satellite forces , the former national security adviser of the president of the united states, donald trump , herbert mcmaster, then he is all current topics, hot questions, authoritative comments and forecasts in the information marathon project with vitaliy portnikov every sunday at 20:10 on espresso, this is the 23rd separate rifle battalion of the armed forces of ukraine. now we are already in such a significant ledge. and actually, we are at the very edge of this ledge holding the defense of the battalion stuck in the defense of the orks in donetsk region and is holding positions right now the military needs our help fighters need drones to lead development and destroy the enemy even on the approach we take infantry each drone is the lost enemy and the saved life of our warrior join the gathering let's show our fighters that we are next to them

let's go back to the conversation for the sake of it, just now our marauders and other corrupt people were given american greetings from penny pritzker, this is a special agent who will control the funds, large funds under the marshall plan for the reconstruction of the country, but there is one more the thing is, the war continues, funds are needed every day and they can be stolen in different ways. by the way, the public anti-corruption council under the ministry of defense sounded the alarm and warned long before it happened , and what is meant is a very cunning scheme, well, that is, there is a kind of government resolution according to which it is possible to use such a term as losses of the state in different ways and to write off something there, and under the guise of such legal formulations, the state audit service suddenly wanted all enterprises that perform

, including those of the state i have been listening to and reading all this since the time when the first time the nabat e-e was beaten here, and i have one question. and why does the security service

of ukraine not take up this case, because for some reason it is more reminiscent of completely deliberate actions to undermine the country's defense capabilities? maybe when some large-scale code happens, she will finally come to the conclusion that what the audit service also did is unacceptable , but at the moment we have what we have. and yes, my colleague from the public anti-corruption council , this yarova, have you read to talk about this yet? it seems to me that in the month of may, and because she was in a collegial body, she often encountered problems directly with suppliers, but now the suppliers themselves are already talking about it, because if in may it was still such a projected vision, what about that? fiscal authorities can come to them with claims that

can come to vet or debes to criminal proceedings, so now this has become their reality. and this is already a reality for the company . cars were delivered because they calculated a profit for themselves. and if this enterprise is to produce about a 30%, er, of the profit they had er legally a-a and all the nuance and nonsense of the state audit service that for some reason the state audit service believes that ukraine has there is only one document and it is illegal in ukraine, there is some economic code there, not others , the tax code, not the law on defense procurement. and there is only resolution 335 of the government of a-a, which was adopted there er-er last year to simplify the calculation for enterprises during

martial law and since it is not related to profit, then profit is not mentioned in it. well, because it was called there. and in the decree that it replaced , instead, there is 300 e-e. the 63rd decree of the cabinet of ministers , it acted as it did, and the actions in it are written as 1%, e-e the company can get 30% of the component parts, actually, uh , on production, and if we are talking about those companies that we now call special importers of weapons , then they, uh, a long, long time ago, have the right to their uh, three uh the percentages of the so-called agency they are also prescribed by this resolution. and why is the state a civil service that is there i checked all kinds of invoices. well, next, in fact, i don’t want to completely level the work of the civil service because they found a lot of nuances and very criminal elements in the same ministry of defense, and i don’t want to level their work, but i really don’t

understand why they did exactly that with the 335 institution, they decided that this is the only document in the universe that regulates the company's profit and actually put all the suppliers of the ministry of defense under attack there, and now i understand that only the ministry of defense will be affected, but in the context of the ministry of defense, yes, we take the document to the audit. i think that the largest special transporter of weapons, ukrspectsa express, is a state-owned enterprise, because i read there , and in every contract, it is written, well, this is, in fact, an incriminated crime, that they accounted for 3% of the soviet there are much fancier things, there are things, for example, when some enterprises received landmines and

issued international aid for their they took the question off the tip of my tongue, well, despite the fact that the entrepreneurs themselves are already saying that the requirements of the state audit service in this particular case is to return the profit on defense purchases, it is blocked directly by the stoppage of supplies to the front in a matter of days and the disruption of supplies to the fronts - this in the midst of hostilities in the south in the east and in this case you mentioned it again dbr i don't have to tell you, your publication talked a lot about all kinds of hop-stops and other nightmares that are engaged in in manual mode dbr well, i have a question for you as they say from mr. tatarov, yes, it happened by accident. that is exactly how the state audit service read the government 's decree. was there a fas team here, because here in sparta, the dbr

is the same, but this is such a hook, which will now allow affect the agreements because it seems to me that it is precisely the state company ukrspectsa export e-e, taking into account the loyal attitude towards it of some e-e, including the deputy ministers of defense. to each contract, but there are, for example, other companies that can fly into it for educational purposes in order to get some interest from them, that is, if you helped, this problem will not be solved. it creates an additional corruption mechanism, and nightmares about deals, and because we understand that our law enforcement agencies, unfortunately, are not the best, more objective law enforcement agencies, and in this the world, and unfortunately, they suffer a lot from selectivity and the same ukrainian armored vehicles that for some reason ended up already, well, finally they talked about it because everyone there knew about it not publicly for several weeks, now finally a certain

vehicle said that they had come to in fact, and in the company that supplies at the lowest prices. well, because it is a private e-e supplier and, frankly, under other conditions, they would not be allowed to participate in this e-e process, and that is why they really supply at the lowest prices, but for some reason the dbr passes it is to them and this is the one. well, in their concert, it generally looks like throwing away a competitor that does not allow the price of weapons to be inflated. i really do not like this version of the ministry of defense that for all the money in the world, but no, you are buying for any money e- is a weapon in this the rules are in the plan, the political leader of minister marchenko, who when he said that, well, at least this is a quote from the ukrainian truth that if there is a higher price and a lower price, then it is clear that the one who will

sell you weapons, choose the higher price and you yourself screw up this price for weapons and in this way we ourselves reduce our money supply, buy more weapons for the military offensive, more weapons are needed, emin, or invest the same money in the production of those cormorants that we are talking about, i don’t know how much the administration enters the story, we have two minutes and i have more of them if possible two in short question, and it is already clear what the position of the new team and the new minister is, in particular, in this case, which emerged in the form of a resolution and actions of the state audit service, he already said something that he made some decisions for himself or it is not yet known, at least i do not in public i also saw that the public anti-corruption council has not yet met with the minister, but i would certainly advise him to get familiar with it as soon as possible and

, well, to take the position of his predecessor is different. because here, in principle , the ministry of defense has no choice but to say that a-a well, er, i don’t know what word to choose a-a hmm, it’s appropriate and censorious to somehow characterize the state audit in this point, but well, it’s an absolutely senseless decision , which will simply cause big problems for us , and for some, a collapse that will be we just need to respond with a collapse at the front if we have half a minute, we have half a minute, it's just a case from the previous one, as they once said, his deputies broke firewood over there for a whole year and a half and billions hung there and, uh, accordingly, nothing was done about them, do you remember these stories with spacers and with the polish company, literally half a minute, and the eu, there is a chance that we will at least return

something, at least the funds. whether or not it was playing for a long time, i think well, i would probably study all the stories, not how the companies got, and the profit what is predicted 363 resolutions well, i'm not dbr, that's why it's so good bmw ms. tetyana, we are waiting for the results of your meeting with the new leadership of the ministry of defense, it will be interesting and you thank you for participating in our program tetyana nikolayenko , a member of the public anti-corruption council at the ministry of defense of ukraine had a short break in communication with us and we will get back

monday to friday at 20:00, repeat at 12:10 and we return to the conversation in connection with our studio, the press officer of the third separate assault brigade, yes, yes, it is the third separate assault brigade that gave us operative footage er and unique footage of how andriivka was released, this is actually south of bakhmut, oleksandr borodin, in contact with us, oleksandr slava ukraine in fact, we will immediately remember this story. when your brigade actually liberated and later its general staff confirmed the liberation of the ruins that were once andriyivka and now, mom, history is actually repeating itself, only now with the key , we will look back, we posted photos and our the military are holding their military standards and the flag of ukraine, but there is no information from the general staff, so maybe you can tell us at least

how long we have to endure a pause, keep our fingers crossed in order to get confirmation of this release as well , well, look at the release, i can’t os- brigade about that i would like to note a based on the experience of the situation with andriyeva and what about the very fact of the entry of our troops, eh, this can be considered absolutely, well, the liberation is purely technical, but accordingly, such things should fall into those brigades eh you can say one thing about getting this area. and then attacking the guys is clear, that is, you also need to strengthen and clear the territory. after that, there will be an official notification. and in general, for this advance, which we have been seeing for the last week, to the south. and in

the south, whether from bahmut, just evaluate from an operational point of view . what does this give us in the near future? is this too? is it still a lot of bloody hard work and we don’t need to aim at the strategic dimension now? and these heights, these positions, which currently exist, are very important, their armor is very strong up, it’s a pity, there are just an endless number of places and super means to maintain them, because these heights are there and iron the road and in general they are very important for the right flank, that is, in fact, now they are losing this right flank, i cannot say for myself any predictions about what, after all

, a serviceman in relation to my brigades in particular, i can talk about that for the right flank, it is enough. well, you can say that it is key key places such as andriivka and klishchevka, but we watched very carefully, looked at a certain video. when the territory could not be obtained, the russians began to surrender , then russian art began to work. can you confirm to us that this is actually the implementation of this uh, stalin's backlash, that's how it was, that is, they hit their uh, uh, on their own only because they began to surrender, it was not an accident, a mistake and friendly fire. the number of prisoners. they are all confirmed in one way or another. confirmation to the soldiers, if we are talking about

the mobilized contractors, sometimes there are different units, but there are different units, but the classic contracts . not at all the presence of those infantrymen, they will lead the way there and destroy the artillery . that is, this is a standard practice for us, this is not news. we have seen it since the beginning of the rhyme in bakhmut, well, that is, it does not surprise you, but by the way this is from the point of view that for them it is symbolic not to leave bakhmut. so when the armed forces of ukraine actually take these important heights , will this mean that logistics will be completely cut off because they still have something to bakhmut and deliver will we be able to cover it completely, well, look, it’s difficult to comment, it’s still a level higher than the corps and further, but it should be noted that

the city itself, and the city itself, ah, there is no point in holding back. well, if anyone falls, the flanks of this cities because there are always fights in the city your heavy ones remained there to their own kind well, it was also destroyed compared to the villages, still, a large number of buildings there were quite heavy battles, however, if it falls into the flanks, then it is uh then there will be no sense to be there well, but or we have effective fire control of precisely these logistical roads along which they somehow try to fail something, there is a very difficult option with the railway and all this without revealing the secrets, what can be said in we come to this in the solution of this issue

let's say this is a rather long operation that lasted and after the release of andriivka and others, it showed its success and that gives us the opportunity to control a fairly large area on the right flank, that is, the issue with the right flank. let's say that there was an advance on landings landings after landings after landings which in themselves were important for the solution of this operation but not so important for the general points oleksandr and here is one more point, we have already heard from the leadership of the general staff and the ground forces about a rather huge number which it is focused on this direction of manpower and the tank of tanks and everything else, and what is the quality of this group, because we see that there are some rotations in them, and there are also volunteers , some units with such funny animal names, well, what is the quality after that, you can

compare it to at least the previous months of the war, when there were wagner units there, there were also other elite units, look, they currently have selyanka in general, but all these extreme battles are all battles with very different units, this is also a contractor, which mobilized units, yes akhmat was although he almost did not take part in the front line, he was more in control there, and such units as, for example, espanyol, the type of volunteers of some units, they are very different, this does not give them an advantage. because when very different units are formed according to different characteristics with different training, this is not very good from the point of view of coordination. that is, we haven’t seen any monolithic units for a long time, yes, come to the brigades , they are absolutely monolithic. they work in every battalion, they are friends there

, and that’s why we don’t see them. and that’s why, firstly, secondly, they are different units here, for example, espanyola, who tried to counter attack us, they gave her t 90m bmpf all the latest modifications , that is, from the fact that they became a bet on these cska volunteers, if you can call them that, they themselves call it that, these did not help. they are testing, they are testing. these are non-standard military formations for them. and for how many, i want to ask one last question, alexander, this is widespread because we see footage from exactly your section of the front that suddenly instead of those famous analogues , there are no t-90s, here, suddenly, t-60s are knocked out. i.e some museum exhibits that should have already been written off. suddenly we see them knocked down on the front line, are these isolated cases or is there some kind of system, they already appear on the front so simply, i'm saying very different , that is, relatively speaking, what they give to support

the mobilized, it can be the most outdated equipment that was removed from the preservation that was there for 40-50 years there is your preservation in and now they are also testing it in this story yes probably well, if you can call it volunteers or the same thing, they look much better and you have equipment medicine, technician, contract worker and mobilized are so often, however, it should be noted that they bet on artillery, and now they do so, and although contract workers are mobilized there, it can be said in different ways, and indeed they have very low motivation, but artillery would be and mining, by the way, these are three such factors that really need to be worked with. and in such victories, they are given with great sweat , oleksandr. thank you for your service and congratulations to all our defenders in this difficult area where

everything is flying, scouting, shooting, exploding and so on every meter is difficult to vacate our land, but there is another very interesting story for us, and in this case we will definitely be interested in talking with roksana vikalyuk, she is a singer and a composer and a musician and a multi-instrumentalist, which is not an easy word and actress and most importantly, roksana vikalyuk has already told a lot of interesting things on the internet about the events that took place on september 15 near the berlin opera house, a kind of berlin military-cultural operation ms. roksano. congratulations, good day . glory to ukraine, the correct name should be this this singer with a mouth from russia is not a consumer, her name is netrebko, a good girl , she worked for putin in her time, and now she really wants to earn money again in the opera macbeth , a long euro in the berlin opera and there in events

that were under berlin support at certain moments for some reason they even reminded me of some kind of rally with military actions, tell us in more detail, there is not much time , but it is very interesting, what happened there, what was the result, the main thing is two words, yes, indeed, mrs. netrebko even changed her colors as she ran, she decided that she will no longer speak in russia, she will speak in in europe, the superintendent of the opera house in berlin decided to believe her. ugh. oh, and that's how she performed beautifully in the opera . as far as i know, all the tickets were sold out. uh, there are organizers without them, this rally simply wouldn’t have happened, and it was also two organizations , uh, berlin viche and chervona kalina

, they also work very powerfully in cooperation with other cities and are not terribly interesting about the infrastructure inventory. that is, this is a transcript information front active is an activist of the party front, they are from nuremberg - this is a young organization, there are only three men, and the founders are from kharkiv and from kyiv. look at kateryna plaksinskaya in latin on facebook, what kind of comments are written by a young person, how consciously does she relate to her work? all organizations not only protest, they also try to fight for, learn to fight for, and this particular infra-infra e-e also joined the e-group of these organizations fighting against e-e

russian and also very importantly against of hidden russian propaganda and cooperate with other cities force force means there were not only ukrainians among the valniki there were not only ukrainians there were also a lot of foreigners er here the artists were ukrainian and also foreigners who supported us germans supported us during the meeting good but it means well, after all, the russian singer netrebko is also a putinist and such an action, and i, the germans, who also understand that this is also a part of the same sanctions only on their territory but along with this, there are many in berlin russian and russian wool they are there visions of victory are played openly as much as possible left-wing, and there was a local government that allowed even during the war all kinds of stalinist actions, so as a result of this , there is some shift in whether netrebko will continue to be in demand in this berlin

opera, there is definitely a shift, but whether she will be in demand, it is unknown, i can’t tell you, but the german mass media began to react just before our rally to her speech on the first day of the speech, or there are still three days of her speech to come, and after her speech, they began to react in our favor, so to speak, how i don’t know if it will go on, you know, he still wants to say a few words, because it was a terrible contrast, because our ukrainian flag hung through the entire post of the opera. uh, during the break, the people who came out, the audience, all these ball gowns in rakas and so on . they mocked us four times , uh, they showed us this gesture, uh, the middle finger
