ukraine, well, unfortunately, through the actions of certain officials, but not only officials, has acquired the status of a rather corrupt country, or not? look, it's exactly the same in germany, that's just the country named there , in which the same norm is mirrored from the directive, in all eu countries the legislation is synchronized with their directives, before that they exist so that people don't just invent wording.. . the law almost verbatim reflects the eu directive, there is no mention of a lifetime supermonitor while in office, a year after that, and once again there is no question about filling out some declarations, some super complicated checks, the bank has a question about the official's transaction , the bank asks where you got the money from, sent the declaration, confirmed the legality of the income, no problem, it's not some... well, super complicated

story, that is, even even if everything that is written was true , and it is not, then the discomfort of top officials, well, certainly should not be an obstacle for ukraine's accession to the eu, but discomfort, well, there is no such thing as super terrible, whether ukrainian banks created problems with their often suspicious behavior, created, that's why in this law, which adopted the prescribed fines... for banks, which, well, if they create unnecessary problems for people. and let's say it again, this is not a new regulation, it was in effect in our country from 2020 to 2022, an even stricter regulation was in effect, and the civil service did not collapse, people did not die, everything worked, that is, what is the cause of this hysteria now, well, i it's honestly hard to understand, despite the fact that i'm a pep, there can

be up to 10-15,000 such people who are significant persons in ukraine, well, there is a certain list of who they are and their plus relatives, i will just briefly ask the last question here, well, i understand that we are talking about ukrainian banks, first of all, but is there not such a risk, because for ukraine it used to be a common thing when certain banks were created, which are engaged in simply hiding, laundering other people's money and so on, well, if any banks have questions. why not find one bank that will not have questions, and while there, yes, please, this is a great question, in fact, if there were no such schemes, and there is, international anti-money laundering regulation, and so on regulation of the activities of politically significant persons is part of this international regulation, the so-called fatf norms. if the bank does not check.

transactions of such officials, they are not scrupulously treated, then the ukrainian supervisory authorities, the state financial monitoring service, have the right to impose a huge fine on such a bank, thus the banks are driven into the corridor, on the one hand, they are obliged to check the transactions of these 1,500 plus their relatives, and on the other hand, if they abuse, they receive fines, they are not checked penalties. mm, they are abusing fines, this, uh, on the one hand, regulates , our, synchronizes our legislation of the european union, and on the other hand, it will prevent banks from abusing their current obligations, a completely normal process, friends, the process of joining the eu will provide much more - more uncomfortable norms for a much larger number of people than 15 thousand debovs and their relatives, but the truth is

, if we want to be in the eu, we will be forced to accept it, because it is part of being a european union. thank you very much, mr. vitaly, thank you for comments, thank you for clarifying, vitaly shabunin was with us, the head of the anti-corruption center, i wish you a good evening, i really just want to add that you know this, there are certain rules that you have to live by, and then you can to achieve something, if you do it like this, according to the scheme, you get a mercedes, if you do it differently, you get a zhiguli, or if you do it like this, you get... good for a drink or good clothes, or a good banking system, and if you do, for example, differently, you will succeed, well, not at all another story, then after 30 years of independence they ask me why i am in nato , well, or some others, or why our salaries are not like in germany, or not even like in poland, well, because, because there are certain rules, on which someone lived, but you did not live on them, because you can steal, you can not pay taxes, and then the pensions are small, because you pay taxes, that's why they are small, one of my acquaintances said, so wait, what else don't give to oligarchs, i say no, it's from taxes, well

, that's all, it's me, and, well, that's why, that's why that’s fine, you have to report for every penny, that’s all you need, otherwise then you could go to that dkb and the southern union and in general, and in general, i’m sorry, i can’t think of anything, but we want it differently, so we have to follow it, serhiy zgrai, with us, the director of the defense agency, serhiy, congratulations, congratulations to you, congratulations to our viewers, today we will really talk about what happened during the week on the front line, there is a lot of good and good news that we could not even predict in the past of the week, in particular the receipt of takams, so about that and about we'll talk about the rest in just a moment. so, a question, i’ll ask sergey right away, because i asked him to look before ether, there were explosions in sevastopol, russian publics wrote, well, in the occupied territory, well , it’s possible that ukrainians wrote there, who are under occupation now in occupied crimea, temporarily

in the occupied crimea and in sevastopol, in belbek, i see that nothing has yet appeared, except that the russians destroyed everything, i already read, well, in fact, we see that now there will be information that they destroyed everything, then through in a day we will find out what it really is hit russian objects , what are the consequences of strikes by drones or missiles, we do not know what exactly is happening, but we know that sevastopol, crimea are those areas that are already under close attention and strikes by our means of impression, we have such opportunities, well, then we will start with a short question that i wanted to ask, sergeius, i think maybe later, but why the explosions happened now in sevastopol, well, belbek is a military airfield, it is right next to sevastopol, that is, sevastopol and belbek are one , as they say the location, but the russians they decided to move the mig 31 planes, i don't know what letter p31 is there, in my opinion, it's just mig 31, carrying daggers, these x-47 kenjal on the territory of the occupied crimea, precisely to the belbek airfield, well, if a storm shadow came to sevastopol,

this means that the shadow storm can also fly to belbek, do the russians have a very powerful ppoda, did they move it, or is there something like that, because i don’t see the logic, well, to be honest, i don’t see the logic either, because it’s rather the military reacted to the statement ' putin the russian military about what is needed now to ensure duty, destroy the mik-31s in the black sea and immediately they re-based these aircraft, which can be carriers of daggers. i have already said that there is no logic in this, because these planes are now in the format of basing in the battleback and are at risk of being hit by our long-range missiles, i think that they will not be there for a long time, but at the same time we understand that 31 may be there for a short time, and we understand that the russians have about 40 airfields that they are currently using to base their strategic and tactical aviation, so the question lies in the flexibility of the enemy's actions, well, in the work of our intelligence, means of impression, which can catch up with these planes in any

areas. well, especially the miga in the water area, well, it might not be a fighter, it’s a bomber, that is, in fact, this one , that is, it has a flight wing there, i’ll fly there, i’m not an expert, well, this territory is not that big for it , well, i don’t know , what is the logic here, the logic of the enemy, especially since the kenzhal from the fact that you launch it from a close distance is likely not will fly, well, teratically, i will intercept it there powerfully, or maybe, or maybe you won’t have time to fix it, well, these are actually interceptors that are currently adapted for the carrier of these kinjal missiles, and we understand that this is the only carrier for this missile that is currently available the enemy has 31 migs, the russians have 10 under daggers, cars and that’s actually all the enemy has, so it’s really not such a rich maneuver to be able to use daggers, maybe someone just wants to end the war already in russia also from the military, well, let's go for ours

questions, yesterday the russians went into the second wave of the offensive on avdiivka, as a result of strong assaults, we can see in the record losses of the enemy, both personnel and equipment, also, can avdiivka become the second battleground, and as some russian propagandists talk about it, well, really, avdiivka can become the second bakhmudot in terms of enemy losses, because we remember how the meat assaults at bakhmut ended, the destruction of this wagner corps, the destruction of a significant number of russian personnel, and now in this context the situation around avdiivka is really repeating itself, we know that the first assaults by massed tank columns and armored vehicles were on the 10th, then after... losses there was a certain pause, the use of small groups already there, and literally yesterday, the day before yesterday, yesterday they resumed in the morning, another massive attack using armored vehicles and we see losses, we see that a significant amount of armored vehicles,

at least more than 120 bmp units and tanks were destroyed in literally one day, these are extremely high indicators and indicators losses of enemy personnel and 300 occupiers in one day, i just specifically, it was said, well, along the entire front line, near avdiivka. 900, that is, but if we take the statistics, i specifically found data on the losses of the soviet union during the war with finland, when they tried to carry out their attacks there in 100 days, carried out attacks, so then the soviet union lost 127 in 105 days, killed, but the frost killed many there, and it is not like that, i.e. 127,000 in literally 105 days, this is actually with a rate of destruction of troops of 1,200 men per day per day, that is, the finnish army then lost

27,000, that is, in fact, one to five, and now , if we speak, i hope that we have the same statistics of enemy losses as with the finnish war , then these will be good enough indicators, because today, when zelenskyi commented on the situation near avdiivka in a conversation with sholtz, he said that these are the losses that, in principle, we are absolutely satisfied with, and this is true. well, also more than 5,000 tanks were destroyed in the war, 500 of them, i.e. 10% in the last month, i.e. we a month, well, not us, the armed forces of ukraine, well, we can destroy them with our donations, if the drones help us, then we can speak, but of course our fighters, warriors, in a month we destroyed 10% of all those tanks that were destroyed in a year and for how many months, or eight months of war, more than 600 days of war, a similar situation exists. technique , why the losses went up so rapidly, of course, the question arises, is it because the tanks

have become worse, and does the situation in avdiivka or vogledar last year show that tank assaults are a thing of the past, well, here is a question with many components, first of all, russian tanks, the enemies started this active phase of the war, last year, when they had somewhere up to 3,000 tanks, there are 2,900 according to some data, according to other data 3,500 tanks. that is, now we are actually talking about the fact that the 5,000 tanks reported by the general staff, in fact , this is already, well, almost all that the enemy had in stock in the first stage were destroyed, and what was restored and made was also destroyed almost on the second round, why is it being destroyed now in such large numbers right now? the attacks on avdiivka showed that these assault columns with tanks, they are visible from a distance of 10 kilometers, and already 10. these tank columns of armored vehicles began to destroy our artillery, then they approached

the minefields, there were losses on the minefields, and then were the works of our anti-tank guided anti-tank guided missile defense systems, which also added a certain amount of armored vehicles, and then fpv drones, so this combination of artillery, minefields, anti-tank guided missile defense systems and fpv drones gives these indicators that the actual tank is a hopeless cover from the air, especially when he steps on several of them. in massed approaches, they are actually very vulnerable, and these are the conclusions, unfortunately, typical of our offensive actions, when we carried out the first attacks in the south, when we rested on minefields and then already concluded that, in fact, the complexation of tanks it needs a slightly different approach and switched to the use of already small infantry groups, and the enemy twice repeated the same mistakes by storming avdiivka there on the 10th, and these tank... attacks on the 19th. well, by the way, i am today i saw what drones are, why it is important to report on them, in principle, and on drones

as well, today i saw a video, this is a fresh video in donetsk region, how an attack drone destroyed, tos is a heavy, well, fire system, a russian flamethrower, i don’t even want to translate ukrainian, fire and fire, it costs somewhere around 15 million dollars, this fire and there hits, of course, this charge, oh my god, these charges, i won’t be good, i know russian, how it is in ukrainian i will not translate now, i will try, and it is so it explodes beautifully, immediately such an impact, an impact circle of 100 meters, well, all around and fire upwards, and it also happens that it flies in different directions, so they pulled up these thermobaric systems there just in order to accompany their troops, this sunspot there has the maximum range is 6 km, and this is precisely within the range of our fpv drones, so we can see that the drone that costs $500 there destroys the system i cost... $15 million, the same situation is exactly the same with tanks, that is, now warfare

has changed so much technologically that this the bet on the fronts, on trained personnel, allows you to compensate for the qualified personnel of the enemy’s superiority in numbers and in armored vehicles, and the fp of drones, we see, well, it is quite possible to destroy 20-30 tanks there without problems, for a second i quite hear, but just as far as ukrainian history shows now, there will be an explosion of this now, it never happened, and as far as war and technology change, how they change war, these are trained soldiers, these are people who are well versed in technology, strategy, battle tactics, who they also have an understanding of weapons, psychological training, respectively, and of course sometimes weapons, i watched a presentation of drones like these, well, so that people would understand, well, these drones are like these, well, maybe a little bigger, they are loaded with three grams of explosives in this drone, it flies autonomously, there is artificial intelligence, it somehow determines, it is , relatively speaking, you launch this drone, it flies to the head, the explosion and, well, it does not penetrate the head through, but there the brain is destroyed, the person is dead, someone is dead there,

a swarm of these drones is launched from the plane, they record people on the ground, they fly up to everyone and there are no people, a group in this situation is for destruction, even a shot is not needed, a projectile, a cluster, such tiny drones can kill a soldier who will not even see them and nothing can do, the technological direction that would must be mastered by the ukrainian army, now we are talking about an increase in the number of ravens, we understand that robotics, robots, long-range impression systems, systems in the reb are those technological things, technological shields that should cover the ukrainian soldier, it is not a warrior's job, let's say, to break through the enemy's defenses with his head, it is the equipment and technologies that should be the first, well yes, because relatively speaking, you can develop a lot of equipment, you cannot make people quickly, especially if you do not train them, as those people who are currently dying at the front, unfortunately, well, that is why we have to go and strive for it, well, by the way, well, finally we got atakam, although the russians for some reason call them atakams, well, let them have atakams, let us have atakams, how will they be applied, well , apart from what we saw in luhansk and

berdyansk, where they get and what to expect in the near future, well, this is good news, we have a graphic that shows the location of some airports that are subject to atakams strikes with a range of 160 km, and there is an optimistic radius of 300 km, which can be achieved with the use of more modern versions of attacks compared to the versions that we have now, what is important here is that we have hit the airfields that the enemy is currently using, we can see that this will significantly affect their effectiveness, because in fact now the enemy will be forced to relocate army aircraft, helicopters, warehouses to other areas of the front, we may not immediately feel the effect of the atakams, but the gradual use of these systems on enemy objects

will be as significant as the hymars were used in the first stage , of course, the question is in quantity. zakams that we receive, so far we are talking about 20 missiles , this is, of course, critically small, but the statement of the minister of foreign affairs, mr. kuliba, that the zakams will continue to be supplied, it looks more optimistic, at the same time, we we understand that a total of 1,400 of these missiles of various purposes were produced there, in general, we can say that in the cluster equipment of the american army there are somewhere within 400 of these, attacks in cassette versions, the company locked marking itself produces 500 products for foreign customers every year, so i hope that the replenishment of atakams in the arsenal of the ukrainian army will continue, but i understand that it is equally important that, in addition to atakams, other types of weapons with an appropriate range should arrive, because we

we expect literally there by the end of the year, it's just the eye, or small diameter, which is produced from the highmers systems, which also have a range of 150 km, but in any case, the situation will slowly change if the supply of more atakams is ensured for execution of tasks related to the destruction of airfields, airfields, storage bases, enemy and command posts, so what is a plus for us that the market, the united states of america, also the market of the european union, is a free market, if there is a demand for production something, the production capacity increases, other people are hired, workshops are built, equipment is purchased, and they can no longer produce 500 missiles, but taxis, but they can produce 800 or 900, well, this is correct, that is why america , in principle, helped win the second world war, because she could do a lot of this if there is a demand, well, what can be done, the demand is there, but still there is inertia, but now from the american defense industry i am overcoming this inertia, understanding the demand for these samples, and i think that they will really be produced more

technology, but there are risks precisely in the first half of next year, when , relatively speaking, neither the european nor the industry has yet reached the pace that will really meet primarily ukrainian needs, so the first half of next year may be more difficult from the point of view and quantity first of all, ammunition, on which the course of attack and defense essentially depends, well, yes, because really , people still need to be trained in order to produce more, this is more production, this is more people, and maybe there were no specialists who could do it to do, well, in any way, because we see that the dynamics over the last few days there , it has increased, we are talking about the fact that there are acting on our units with greater intensity and on a wider front, with greater depth than that was up to this time , there is confirmation that the enemy also began to transfer certain units of the unit to this area in order to protect ourselves from the probable possible offensive actions of ours in

this direction. in fact, this is too optimistic a vision that it is possible to provide such powerful crossings now in principle from the right bank to the left, but who knows, and that is precisely why the enemy is trying to secure himself in some way, is nervous, and this really affects the enemy and partially, including, fetters his manpower, those reserves that he tried to transfer to the same the zaporizhia front, now the situation has changed and there are indeed directions where our marines operate, because we have four brigades of marines, they held defenses on one section of the front, now they are relocated to other cities, where, in principle, they can to carry out more active actions than it has been so far, so in any case we are talking about the fact that the situation in this part of the front, it is changing, as far as it will directly affect the situation on the entire

front line, we will not draw conclusions yet, but in any case, we understand that the left bank, the dnipro, is now becoming much more active than it was before, i wo n't say much, because we have 4 minutes left, but people also ask some questions, but these questions coincide with the fact that they were not prepared, so i am now on purpose in short, zaporizhzhia, people ask about kupyansk, well, i have a question about luhansk region, kharkiv region, so we will talk about that, so zaporizhzhia, what is the activity there, because there, too, i read about crazy losses, what kind of enemy, what the enemy suffers, well, when we talk about the zaporozhye direction, then in principle we understand that the main efforts of the ukrainian army remain unchanged, now there are active combat operations there in the direction of novoprokopivka and in the direction of verbovoy, there were statements literally yesterday or the day before yesterday spokesman of the operational direction there,

tavria is talking about the fact that there is an advance within 1 km, i think this is precisely the area that is located somewhere west of verbovoy, and this indicates that offensive actions of our armed forces are still taking place there in the conditions when the enemy is trying to provide maximum defense, i think that there are counter-attacking actions by the enemy, the bridgehead is not expanding yet, but the actions there are extremely active and exhausting, as well as a similar situation in the other direction, this is precisely kupyansk, because of the 90 attacks that occurred over the past day, 40 enemy attacks fall precisely in the direction where the enemy is trying to act and advance towards kupinsk, that is sinkivka, ivanivka, kislivka, but there is no advance there, but the enemy's activity is very noticeable there.

i will ask a short question, because people are interested in our viewers on youtube, i sometimes try to voice the question, if they are adequate, this is an adequate question, our viewers really want it, i perfectly understand that the f16 will fly into the ukrainian sky by the new year, they write, or it will be possible to train pilots and not only train them pilots, but also the entire infrastructure for these f16s to fly, arrive in ukraine, what, is it in vain to hope, well, in fact , now the fact that the united states has joined the preparations indicates that this process has really intensified, the pilots will to prepare not only there in the distant netherlands , but also in the united states, it is extremely important , because the americans have the largest base for training pilots, equipment is also being prepared in parallel, when we talk about infrastructure, i hope this process continues in parallel, but in any case not before... the first quarter of next year we can expect the appearance of f-16 in ukraine, because these are the most optimistic estimates regarding the appearance of these fighters in the armed forces.

sergey will not say more, but i will say it in the next broadcasts, we will put an end to it. thank you very much. thank you, vasyl, thank you to our viewers. so, we would like to thank sergey sgorts for the high-quality analysis, now we have your attention, so last year, last year, ukrainians reconsidered the importance of candles, because acutely needed light during blackouts, or to warm soldiers in the trenches. how to make artificial light at home, i suggest you look in the material of my colleagues. thermometer, microwave, wax and aromas. he has been using all this to make candles for over a year and a half. olena from beloterkiv. the woman began to engage in smelly work, because she wanted to discover something new for herself. she liked it so much that she has already made 750 products, not counting the trenches that she sent to the front, she says that the matter is quite specific, because she needs

following the rules, such as, for example, the temperature regime and the proportion, i mainly use vegetable oils, because usually we are used to buying in stores on the shelves, candles that are made of paraffin, and paraffin is a petroleum product, and i am for environmental friendliness, there are different types wicks, and i use cotton so that there is a soft light, i make a maximum of 28 products in half a day, olena creates two types of candles, decorative and massage. depending on the use of soy or palm wax, the production time can vary from 5 minutes to 12 hours. the latter is powdered and shows how to make artificial light from it. we just need to pour it into a jar. we have oppression. the wick for such candles needs to be already impregnated with wax, which we simply insert.

cut off. this candle is already ready, it can already be used to light a fire, when it burns, the wax around it will gradually melt, then you just need to take out the wick, put a new one and just add wax all the time and that's it. such a bulk candle can burn for up to 10 hours, also with ease can create a flame from natural wax, beeswax. all materials, the box can be purchased as a special item. in stores, as well as on the internet, there is a warning that those who are prone to allergic reactions to bees, these products are not recommended, if it is soy wax, then it is absolutely safe for everyone, divide the plate into two parts, take the wick , which fits in diameter and twist, and now a natural candle is ready and will last up to two hours, candlemaking, like any other

type of handmade, is quite popular in ukraine, especially the demand increased last year during the blackout, but as we can see, you can make artificial light yourself, you just need to have time and desire. yaroslav hopatsa, oleksandr kuga, espresso, bila tserkva. actively participate in the production of trench candles for our soldiers, both last year and this year, the need has not disappeared, and also, everyone can make one for themselves in case of a blackout, it is good to have such a candle at home that can burn for a long time, now about i will briefly tell you the most important news, but there are still many interesting things ahead you will find out, so stay with us. the russians released a guided bomb in the direction of olhivka and mykolaivka in the kherson region. oleksandr prokudin, the head of the regional military administration, writes about this. and heroic people who confirm their bravery and missions on the 20th anniversary of the intelligence of the state border service of ukraine, president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi congratulated the military and visited the kherson region and held a meeting with

the border guards. discussed the current situation and conditions of service in the frontline regions, the head of state presented awards and i wished for victory. you are doing a really great job, a great service, you are doing a solid service, 20 years, of which, well, almost 10 years, it is a war against the occupier, i want to thank you for your service to the state, ukraine and ukrainians, to wish, probably most importantly, to wish to preserve yourself , by the way, it is very important, the president said a 10-year war against the occupier, because there are people who believe that the war has been going on since the 22nd, no, it has been going on for 10 years, the president very correctly emphasized this. president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi held a meeting on security and life activities in the region, leaders of the region and the city informed the head of state about the situation with the restoration of water and

gas supply. in the de-occupied settlements of the region also with
