with the increase in the number of military personnel , new problems arise, because no matter what, the army is dominated by men, women are still in the minority. we have some soviet archaisms, such as sexism, ah-ah, like uh, no, not perceiving a woman as a specialist, and how about gender, men can sometimes behave not quite naturally, with women, especially when there are some extreme conditions . but are these problems in the ukrainian army during the war? vera has been serving in the zsu for six years. previously , she was in aerial reconnaissance, with the help of a drone she was looking for enemy tanks, now she works as an instructor with bpp, so she knows very well all the nuances of women's service. such a problem exists in society in general. ot. and so, for almost six years of service, there was also a place in the army. there was a prejudiced attitude among certain colleagues, there was during training with... colleagues

from other units who are there, oh, girls, and what can you do, and now let's see how you will do this and that there, vera adds that and she was not promoted as quickly as men, the transition from a soldier to a junior sergeant took several years, no less, how can a woman win her place in the army, there is a recipe, she says, i actually work, when you show the result, the question about your gender does not arise, i have sisters who weigh 47 kg. the weight of a girl alive, she pulled 120 kg of boys out of shelling, that's a fact, moreover, that she is in the harrow, they are in the armor, in the trusted unit 10% are women, not the majority, of course, but the ratio is already noticeable, the girl admits , after a full-scale invasion, the attitude towards women is improving, both among male colleagues and at the official level. when i joined the army, there was a list of positions that a woman, a serviceman could officially hold, there were up to five of them, but now these are the majority of positions.

in fact, in the armed forces, and this, of course, improves the opportunities, because when you join the army, you work there, i don't know, in the intelligence unit, but you can't officially join the intelligence unit, because by position you can be a cook there, so a healer, a doctor, there is the manager of a bathhouse. in the armies of nato member countries, a woman has long been no surprise, the armed forces of portugal and france are among the most feminized in the world, there are more than 10 and 15% of military personnel, respectively, in the usa and in general. more than 3 million women have ever served in the army, they have become very cool , we have women as commanders of troops, combat vehicles, a lot, well, how have we progressed, if you compare us, for example, with russia, unwashed, then we are super mega cool a state where a woman has received many more rights, freedoms , and opportunities thanks to her profession... but if you compare us with

the scandinavian countries, for example, denmark, or the same states, then we are still we are a little behind. from the point of view of psychology, a woman as a person is more flexible and it is easier for her to adapt to new things, so adaptation to combat conditions sometimes happens even faster than men. there is no such thing as women adapting more than men. as for adaptability, it's not all about condition. namely, from the peculiarities of the psychological or physical history of the individual himself. the exclusion of women from certain professions, the humiliation of their role in front of men, has long been a thing of the past, now all are open to them door. due to the soviet heritage, ukraine still has to fight with stereotypes , in particular in the army, but the great war changes everything fundamentally, and soon, perhaps, we will see even more desperate women who with cossack drive... destroy the invaders. valery pashko,

actv facts of the week. the only news. subscribe to our facts of the week youtube channel. there is a lot of interesting stuff here. evacuation under enemy fire. soldiers of the first company of the third assault battalion on bakhmutsky showed incredible footage of the rescue of a wounded comrade direction the guys had to carry the wounded soldier in their arms for almost 2 km through the forest strip, or rather what was left of it, you can see it clearly in these pictures. since the shelter is quite conditional, somewhere halfway they were spotted by enemy artillery and opened fire. fortunately, the occupiers missed, the group managed to safely retreat to the dugout and then take the wounded to the hospital. but

it is not always so lucky. during such an evacuation , the unit where the brother of the correspondent of the facts of the week serhii kostazh is serving lost its medevac, the car was shot by a russian artillery. sergey. of course, he could not sit idly by, but the search for a car for the soldiers turned into a real detective. now you will see for yourself, a special report of the facts of the week. every second by weight, bandage, find, in a year and a half, they have already raked out from nearby europe and everything , collect, boil, putty, paint, and take away, this is not my car, you have to get used to it, a car for the medical evacuation of soldiers at the front, and how a single goal unites people of completely different professions. they arrive almost close to the positions themselves, the medical car evacuation saves the lives of fighters and provides them with first

aid, which is extremely important. a bandage, there are still some wounds, what about you, tell me, it flew somewhere in the kidney, show me. the wounded are different and most of the guys cannot walk on their own, these are the shots that the fighters of the 71st hunter brigade shot for us, they show why these cars are so important at the front, the task of the medivac is to get the fighters to the military hospital as soon as possible, but it is clear that to get so close to the enemy's positions is also to become their target, quite a way dangerous, that's how my brother's unit, which in the 22nd defended chernihiv and burned russian... tanks, and now is fighting in donbas, lost its medavak. the car came under mortar fire. tag here, tag down, so i start looking for a new car for his

crew. first, i am studying whether it is possible to find such a car in ukraine, but there are very few of them left in good condition, so they must be checked very, very carefully, because medivac is needed right away and it will be very bad if you are two weeks or another month later you will get along with engine for example, this renault has 680,000 miles on it, but there is a sticker on the steering wheel, and what is under it says: most likely, the car has actually driven much more. therefore, i continue to search further, already in europe, i turn to volunteers, and it turns out that finding a car there that can be converted into a medivac is already a problem. in a year and a half, they were already raked out of neighboring europe. now it is very difficult to find cars even in germany, they are still being pulled from britain and they are being pulled from the scandinavian countries, after all, and for cheap, it will not work very well, if at the beginning

of a full-scale invasion, such a machine could be purchased inexpensively, so now even in europe, dealers saw an opportunity to make extra money, what they used to simply rent for processing at shrot, now they sell for, well, money, some t-4 transporter, which cost before the full-scale invasion of russia in ukraine there for 500-700 €, now they sell there for 2-2,500 € and do not shy away from looking in the eyes at all, however, my fellow volunteers from rivne are very persistent, they manage to find the same te-4 transporter in excellent condition and bring to ukraine. although the cost of it was really considerable, plus it still needs to be repaired, so i'm starting on the side of money. thanks to subscribers on youtube, telegram and the help of colleagues, the necessary funds are already available in two weeks, during this time the volunteers finish the repair work, i go to get a new

medivac. here he is, finally, here is this result, the famous leaky volkswagen t4 transporter, to him. 30 years old, it's a 93 , 2.5l diesel, four-wheel drive, and what's interesting, of course, it was repainted, but look how well they did, you can't tell that it was a different color, but here you can clearly see that it was orange before, but the guys made it just perfectly, a mosquito won’t bite its nose, and already at the front, my brother and his unit are already doing their inspection, they will paint the windows the way they need to, come on . let's see what's inside, everything has been working for 30 years, german technology, so it's made of seat belts, it's very important, everything should be used with minimal costs, they made such holders from seat belts so that you could

climb in there, here they are, yes , there are a lot of them here, these side benches are also made of seat belts, so that the personnel could sit here , by the way, it is quite normal and the medics could work on the wounded, in addition, special... holders for droppers were made, all this is very important, these are supposedly such small changes , yes, but they are important, there is a lamp for working in the evening with the wounded, these changes are very important , because it makes the car more universal, and the guys at the front will not have to deal with all this, everything is assembled just as easily, since our beloved safety belt reliably,

but that's not all, on the advice of experts, i look carefully in the cabin and under the hood, it's important, again, look at the quality of repainting, but you can't tell, but it's the impression that the car was like that, i don't know , if she survives the front, i will then take her to a military unit, buy her with my money, remember this video, seriously. i will take relatives to pick mushrooms in chernihiv when the forests are cleared of mines. despite its respectable age and solid mileage, everything in the car works. all-wheel drive, stove lights, even a handbrake. car, beauty, at least around the city, ride. chick. and look how clean everything is here. here they installed a new battery, partially replaced the wiring, replaced the cooler, changed the oil, replaced it.

fluid in the hydraulic booster, they even poured a new washer here, i’ll tell you, they worked on the engine, replaced the belts, and the car is fully operational and ready to go to the front, in addition, look at the new rubber that was installed, such a tractor, high-quality, and how do you you see, maybe it’s hard to see here, but the calipers are polished, there are new pads here, and here is the one whose with golden hands, it was done by ihor, the owner of sto, the work at the station does not stop, his team works on several cars at the same time, in particular, on this pickup truck that was brought to ukraine together with medivac, we diagnose what defects there are, what needs to be done on the car,

usually, these are locksmiths... we look at the replacement of belts, timing gear, lubricants, brakes, welding works are always present , because the machines are old, but even though it is a reliable machine, we cook, putty, paint, we supply it to everyone who needs it, who turns to us with cars, we... at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, about 100 cars were transferred with partners, there were many thanks for saving more than one life, well, thanks to such cars, the guys upgraded this car to the maximum, for which i am very grateful to them, and it's time for me to go, dear from rivne to donbas is not close, it is necessary. overcome a total of more than 1000 km, and i am behind the wheel of this car for the first time. the engine, check how

it starts, yes, the key to the start and co-rotation started. the engine works quite reliably, so there is hope that the car won't either at the front let me down, well, it accelerates quite well, for a 30-year-old engine, that’s all.... 2.4, well, it drives quite well, eh, it’s a pity that there is no armrest, of course, it’s not my car, you have to get used to it, but i think the boys will like it, the road is exhausting, it takes two days, and here i am already in donbas, the soldiers of the radu meet a new car, thanks to this car, maybe we will be faster. do all this between the previous one, maybe two,

god forbid that this should not happen, of course. the officer with the call sign sirko says, the specifics of hostilities on their part of the front excludes equipment, but infantry assaults are regular, so such a vehicle will be needed not only as a medivac, but also to deliver the necessary equipment to the fighters. at the moment, we are engaged in skirmishes with the enemy's forces, a shooting battle, a mortar battle, and the drg is trying to enter. from all sides here and probing for opportunities where they can hit us. the medivac reached my brother and is already working, which is great. i am grateful to everyone who donated, who dropped off at least 100. 200 hryvnias, it already matters, but it is necessary remember that we need a lot of these cars, they are needed every day, because many units on the front lines lose them, and it is very important that the army constantly feels the support of the public, so support those who are looking for these cars, they support our guys at the front and bring our victory closer. serhiy kostysh, facts of the week, ictv -

the only news. more interesting. on the youtube channel facts of the week, subscribe to us so as not to miss the analysis of the main events of the week and interviews with cool experts, well, we say goodbye to you until next sunday, thank you ukraine. being afraid is normal, but admitting your fear is powerful. we need strong, update the data in tsk. strength overcomes fear. in order to build a city that will become the beginning of a state, to christen it and protect it with a saber and

mace, to nurture its language despite the ban, to rebel, to... create independence on granite and on the maidan, to repel enemies with the dignity of a great family, it is necessary courage national bank of ukraine, courage to be ukrainians. marathon news time, hctv fact teams and stb windows work for you. the enemy beats mercilessly by the positions of the armed forces and settlements . from artillery and rocket launcher systems. in general, more than 125 settlements of chernihiv, sumy, kharkiv, luhansk, donetsk, zaporizhzhya and kherson regions came under artillery fire. the greatest tension is in the east of the country. here the enemy is trying to regain control over the lost positions. however, our defenders do not allow him to do this.

the south is also burning from enemy shelling. ukrainian soldiers will continue to destroy the enemy's personnel. its control points and equipment, the exhaustion of rosarmy troops continues along the entire front line. with the high intensity of hostilities, the enemy is forced to pull his guns closer to the front. he also tries to hit our rear, our equipment. however, as we can see, thanks to our skillful actions of our units, in particular the lazar unit, which detect the enemy and inflict fire damage on them. we still manage to outplay thanks to ours. efficiency, accuracy. in donetsk region , there are again victims among the civilian population, in the morning during the shelling of avdiyivka, there one person was killed, three civilians were killed in the region the day before, and five more were injured in various ways. this was announced in the regional military administration. the occupying forces fought along the entire contact line. a raging

fire. they covered 11 settlements. russian ironclads damaged and destroyed fifty civilian objects. among them are three dozen residential buildings. the occupiers targeted the kindergarten. the regional military administration once again urged people near the contact line to evacuate. the enemy is growing more often attacks the civilian population with aerial bombs and artillery. fifty residents left the region the day before. this group of alpha special forces actively hunts the enemy with drones, no matter where he hides and if he runs fast. since the beginning of a full-scale war, they have already completed many risky tasks , so even the meticulous input of their own statistics of destroyed equipment and enemy manpower is neglected, because sometimes they say that there is so much work that the engines of their drones do not have time to cool down. at the entrance to the front line, they quickly and

without unnecessary fuss, they check the ammunition and put on the armor, the special forces of the alpha sbu go to battle. the task of defeating the enemy by means of fpv in the zaporizhzhia direction. you are deceptive here, so you should not delay. in addition to weapons, the alfiv people also carry a whole bunch of tools in order to more skillfully dispatch enemies to kobzon's concert . it is unnecessary here. speed, here it takes more to connect everything correctly, because if the military uses starlick more stationary, we you have to constantly carry it back and forth. these alphas. these sbu have already earned a reputation among their enemies. here, in this action video, their fpv drone successfully crashes into an enemy loaf with a cheeky z-swastika on the roof. here, the kamikaze flies into

the russian dugout of obabich trasy, judging by the smoke that rises afterwards, it is effective. and in these frames, thanks to the correction of special forces, our gunners aim at an enemy armored car, and this is only a tiny fraction of the frames of their daily work that they allow to be shown in general. however, even now. combat trouble, although first you should protect yourself from other people's drones, we use the drone gun to protect ourselves, the gun is ready to work, it only takes one minute. the samurai says that before the full-scale war, the tasks of his unit were somewhat different, and they had to master drones. every day, you already know how hard work is, it happens that you go out, the enemy conducts some active actions on... well, on a certain part of the front , there is enough work that sometimes even the engines on the propellers heat up so much that

drones just have to be cooled, from several hares that these hunters notice, they choose, of course, the fatter one, if there are several units of equipment, we choose according to priority, if there is heavier equipment, for example, armored personnel carriers, the priority is a tank, and on average here you can use, well, about a kilogram of ammunition, this is, in principle, enough to defeat both the equipment and manpower of the enemy. the eyes of the alfiv people are in the sky mavik, they are taken care of by a special agent on the pseudo-ban. he says that there were also cases of aerial combat between drones, there were there were several times that they saw enemy drones and saw other drones and tried to ram them. time to work kamikaze. come on, get up. to see and focus on the target is painstaking work. this time the watch tower of the russians is on the account of the alfians. good, the boys are gathering so as not to become

a target themselves, they are satisfied with the result. effective, but always wanting more. andriy pochti, artem dezhenkov actv, edyni news. the temperature in russia suddenly rose again in the evening, this time in rostov- on-don, where a fire broke out on the territory local... zone. first, pallets, possibly tires, are on fire, this is the official version of the authorities. instead, representatives of the skrypach partisan movement, who have already taken responsibility for the arson, stated that the fire had an area of ​​more than 300 m2. covered the slope with a military uniform. an external meeting of the council on foreign affairs of the european union was held in kyiv. president zelskyi said that such an external format of work is for the first time outside the european union. and it's a matter of time when ukraine will officially become part of the european union. our key integration goal this year to come to a decision to open

membership negotiations, and today i heard again in the negotiation meetings that this is absolutely possible. ukraine will definitely fulfill its part of the work, seven recommendations of the european commission. it is very important that there is a similar readiness for a political decision regarding ukraine. regarding the start of negotiations by the european union, all member states. there are over a million veterans in ukraine. the war continues, so the number will increase and it is not even possible to predict how many times. reduction of bureaucracy when passing vlk, availability of prosthetics and the veteran's awareness of it, adaptation in society after demobilization. the employment of veterans, in particular with disabilities, is a problem that should be solved already. now, today charitable foundation 10 brought together veterans, well-wishers and representatives of ministries to discuss the main issues that are currently bothering soldiers who have returned to civilian life.

oleksandr, 27 in his previous civilian life , a barista, now a war veteran, was wounded last year just on independence day in the izyum direction. both limbs amputated while undergoing rehabilitation in kyiv, he independently studied prosthetics. i... myself was actively interested in all possible prostheses, that is, where i can get prosthetics , how i can get prosthetics, i did not sit and wait for someone to come to me and give me, say, a folder with a list of prosthetic centers and all my further actions. at first i wanted to do it in ukraine, we have good centers, and also about theses you need to service from time to time, it is faster and easier to do it at home, i can come at any time if i have something there if not, then i basically regulate it. immediately, and i will not search and think about how i can contact the states, germany, japan or some other countries, later i was already preparing for the invincible games, i realized that

i needed sports prostheses. an american foundation has taken up the job of the boy in the united states since the 15th year. they take care of soldiers with severe injuries who need very complex prosthetics, which are not done in ukraine. since february 24, 55 defenders have already undergone treatment and rehabilitation in the us, with the full-scale war, the demand has increased in times, now thousands of ukrainian military and civilians with amputated limbs. the state pays for prosthetics and rehabilitation, there are still enough funds, there are enough clinics that provide prosthetics, but only to veterans. there is a lack of a road map, where to turn, what to do to get a prosthesis, there is such an information vacuum, many of the guys, somewhere , find out something, they themselves, look for it, but many do not know at all where to turn, to whom to turn, i am there with the command medical forces say, we make brochures, well, not all boys can go and get it, or they are somewhere, well no one looks at them, let's enter the digital age, vladyslav with the nickname wikipedia is the defender

of the dream. during the defense of azovstal, he lost his leg, injured his eye, was operated on in azovstal, then with serious injuries , spent a month and a half in russian captivity, also received prosthetics in the usa, because the injury is difficult, he says, nowadays veterans with amputations, these are young guys who want to lead an active lifestyle, running, playing sports, and veterans and doctors should take this into account when prosthetics. many military, not only military, they first they go to youtube, see what is the coolest knee in the world, and then they just start digging all the ugly centers, give me this knee, it's not always appropriate, not always relevant, from the fact that i walk, well, it's not very pleasant for me, everything hurts, everything rubs, my back hurts, my leg hurts, everything hurts, but i have to walk, then i walk, and some people don’t walk, maybe it’s even more difficult for them, even harder, and they don’t walk, they get prostheses for a lot of money , but they don’t go, well, why did we order this, there are still questions for prosthetic centers, they say

veterans, now there are 80 of them, but in some places there is a problem with the quality, there are three to five centers in ukraine that are excellent, all the rest are the old soviet union, there are not a large number of rehabilitation centers, good, high-quality, and wherever people want, only in these three, because these three only have good ones, and they were simply sent and they would all have the same level. for such a number of patients with amputations in ukraine, there is a lack of prosthetists and rehabilitators, the ministry of social policy recognizes this, and they are currently working with the ministry. to release more specialists, in order to work with one person, it is necessary to have a doctor of physical rehabilitation medicine, a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, a psychologist, a psychotherapist, or one or the other, depending on the qualifications, a prosthetist-orthetist, a speech and language therapist, two assistants, an assistant, a physiotherapist, a tagotherapist and a physical rehabilitation nurse, that is 10 specialists for one person, it is clear that , unfortunately, there is a lack of specialists in some components, but of course, what is a high-quality

specialist... not at once must appear for this time. this year , the state allocated uah 2.7 billion for prosthetics, and plans to increase it to uah 4.2 billion for the 24th year. will reimburse not only the cost of the prosthesis, but also cover the maintenance and repair of the artificial limb. the ministry of social policy is also thinking of reimbursing the cost of servicing a prosthesis installed abroad. natalya kulyk, yevhen zuzulya, ctv fact, edyni news. a powerful incentive for domestic. production, the law on localization in public procurement of engineering products gives jobs to ukrainians. state buys the equipment that has at least 15% of the ukrainian component, and enterprises, equipment manufacturers, and contractors participating in tenders, among them the double-glazed plant in cherkasy region, will benefit from this. thanks to localization, it receives more orders from manufacturers of public transport and specialized equipment,

in particular. fire station sheet glass is cut to the required size, edges are processed, holes are drilled, washed, tempered in a furnace and sent to the customer. currently, the application of the company that manufactures buses is being processed. on at this plant, which is far from working at full capacity, the workers are happy with the orders, and therefore with the work, when the war started , we switched to one shift, we work in one shift, before the war we worked in two shifts, we are satisfied with this, that in we are in a small town, we have work. at this enterprise, sheet glass is processed not only for transport engineering, the products are used for furniture production, for trade and industrial equipment. now they are fulfilling orders for automobile glass for factories yesterday
