will allow you to quickly hand over these to the soldiers we need money, protect the devices, we will protect our home, we will protect ukraine, we will help the armed forces of ukraine to expel the enemy from our land as soon as possible, well , today we will talk about sumy region and in general we will discuss certain political aspects and scandals and problems, which is the most important thing, that is why we invited to our studio of political scientist viktor boberenko from sumy oblast, and now we'll start with the situation, vasyl, i can't hear you, mr. viktor, i congratulate you. whether you hear it now or not, yes, i hear it, it's great, so viktor boberenko, political scientist, let's start with the situation in sumy oblast, as today the day has passed, the day in general, regarding the enemy shelling, if you can be brief, let's you report to us, tell us, well, how is that site in the white sun of the desert, they are shooting there, yes, what, they are shelling every day, every evening, every night, fortunately , in sum, in itself.

sumy was not flown in, but they are shelling the border, and they are shelling 18 communities in the sumy region, they are constantly shelling, they are evicting a five-kilometer zone, uh, here, well, everything is as usual, you know, how people are already used to it, today we met with a great man, with the ambassador of the federal republic of germany, the public met, then, well, we jokingly told him that our children no longer respond to, to alarms, well, they simply do not respond, well, because it is so, well, yes, and you said that a five-kilometer zone will be resettled, but there are places where people can be resettled, who is doing it in general , who is organizing it, some volunteer groups or the local administration, no, no, the regional military administration is doing it, they blame it all on the communities, on the local people.

local communities primarily try to to resettle the five-kilometer zone in order not to lose, well, we understand , here is the selfish desire of each community, because if there are children, if they are at least enrolled in school, then this will be a subsidy, yes, we have it, but i don't i want to name the community now, but we have several communities, where, for example, in a five-kilometer zone, well, one community out of 15 of them has nine points, well, that is, if they resettle, there is actually no community, and of course, they they fight, then they fight, well, they try to resettle within the boundaries of the region, but again, well, ah where to resettle, well, you can imagine how grandmothers and how they cry when they leave, they are 80 years old, the grandmother is with a young man who takes her there, and she is all 80 years old, she says, i have never been sad anymore, there , that is, she is taken somewhere there.

well, if someone has children, and the children are taken away, well, the children take the old parents, and yes, actually , many people refuse me, many adults refuse, but i will not go anywhere, i have chickens, a duckling and a duckling here, but there where i absolutely agree with the authorities, families with children must be resettled, or at least the children will be taken away, they cannot grow up there, because what will it be, we are taking a risk, and if older people are responsible for themselves, this is their choice, then the community and the state must be responsible for the children, then they must be evicted unequivocally, i am still in the sums i will ask a few questions, and then we will talk about such general national topics , well, but also with reference to regional problems, because you are our main speaker today , and we will, as they say, about politics and about local politics and social issues, so in sum, i don't think it's just a problem sumy, in general, there are such problems in many cities of ukraine, but especially in sumy, shelters in sumy arrive, perhaps closer to the border.

only for a quarter of the city's population, that's a lot, not enough, and, all the more so, that the enemy still doesn't spare his spins in relation to sums, sums, we don't have enough shelters, if, for example, there is a shelter in a school, then, er, lessons go to the number that the shelter can take, yes, that is, if there is , for example, a shelter for 200 children, the school has 600 children, then we understand that only a third goes to school, and 2/3. in fact, we have it online, yes, in many schools there is no shelter, but in sumy oblast shelter is a relative concept, because the same is the case in bilopyllya or krasnopillya, well, communities that are up to 20 km away from where the shells fly, there well, such a concept as an alarm cannot exist, it can happen somewhere in khmelnytsk , or somewhere in the central areas, well, i’m not there, cherkasy, or somewhere in kropyvnytskyi, vinnytsia, where they can be like, oh, they announce an alarm, because somewhere

he could have taken off there, but here it was 15 km or 12 km away it is bilopol', first they fired a projectile, that is, the projectile flies there for a few seconds. he got there, broke off here, and then they announce the alarm, and let him go, why the alarm, so it is the same with the shaheds, that is, in sumy, all the times when the shaheds arrived, first the shahed arrives, and then they announce the alarm, why shelter, for whom, for what, shelters, as i understand it, can only be, well, in schools and in public places, to sit there , maybe out loud. i will repeat once again, that is, in places where mines can fly or a projectile, well, a shelter, for what, and very often the heads of communities are there, and they are forced from the office of the president, oh-oh, give us shelter, shelter, report how many shelters you have, and what, imagine that you live in some

settlement, conventionally there are five by 5 km, where inside there are three or five-story buildings, everything else is the private sector. and just imagine, you and i are somewhere on the outskirts of sum, we have to go to the shelter, if the shelter is made, we have to run there for 3 km, and here they say the alarm, after that, first the shells came to us in the garden, bang-bang- bah, they looked at each other, and here they say anxiety, and we will be completely stupid with you, if we run for 3 km to the shelter, who will run, but no one will run, this is all stupid, and that is, what is important and necessary there, let's say there for poltava region, for cherkasy oblast, when it really takes off and there is a concept of air alert for people there, there is no such concept here , first of all, there is no air alert, no drone comes to bilopyl, its abomination, they are tormented with shells, shells

fly in, and the concept of shelter in community mode, which is 5 by 5 km, which fool will run with yard, you run... where, i will run, in this case, i will run in any way to my grave , i will sit in the corridor in any way, if there are, there will be shelling, well, i will not run down the street, expose myself to danger behind, 3 km from the shelter, on every street, in every yard, you can't build a shelter with budget funds, but the central government demands from the military, and in some way, some head of the community is told where your shelters are, he, he is there somewhere reports something, they bend over there, and then they call me, saying how stupid they are, what kind of shelter can be here, we he says that shelters were made in the cultural center only

so that the children who are there could move, but for the majority there, well, the concept of shelter itself does not exist, shelter is your grave, i will ask one more question very briefly, we will have a few more questions on, well, state and regional policy, let's put it this way, the head of the sumy administration, well, the regional administration, said that in sumy they failed the mobilization plan recently , only 8% of the required amount was given, well, by the way, the neighboring region poltava too, me i know there were some problems with this, i don't know to what extent they solved them, what do you associate this failed mobilization in sumy, in sumy oblast, please, first of all, sumy, from the beginning they gave a lot, because there were three, if you remember, in february of the 22nd year they took up arms, so many people and how many of them then left that, well, in fact, everyone who was

a volunteer, they are now already at war, eh -uh, uh, and therefore, a priori... there may be fewer such people in the sumy region. second, almost all of them, uh, those in the small ones, have been sorted out populated areas, you can't hide there, you can't mow down there, everyone is a target there, and that's why they took everyone there, everyone who passed the vlk, everyone, everyone is already fighting, uh, and they were raked in earlier, but now they are giving new plans , there are no new people for new plans, and this is not a problem , people, this is the problem of the same volodymyr oleksandrovich zelsky, who was asked by the military to lower the bar from 27 to 25 years for the best soldiers. exactly 25, from 25 to 30 years old, but we are called up, only

voluntarily, you can until 27, and from 27 only, well if there were forced, yes, then zelensky himself did not sign this law, then now, uh, nothing is blamed on the mirror, as they say, on rasseyushki, circles, well, you understood how to proceed, that is, accept this law and call for 25 years, try to cancel those who are currently with us, now we have a lot of people who want to study there in master’s degrees, bachelor’s degrees, there even in ptu, in post-graduate studies, well, in general, well, those who want to study are more terrible, we have gluhiv sub-university the national plus 700 people this year, well , that is, do, make the base bigger. we will be honest, we have about 15 million people fighting, even if we consider that

we have a population of 30 million, not 40, yes, the mobilization potential is about 20% of the people, that is, 6 million of us can be called up safely, they called up one and a half, where else, it turns out, well, it’s big, well, it’s clear that someone ran away, someone still has health issues, someone else has something else, something else, something else, but i think that when... to name is from whom, and such a situation arises, i tell you honestly, i very often in one of the international projects go to the front-line villages, i go there every other day on the belt, yes, then there is no one there somewhere in krasnopil, in bilopil, you will not find healthy men , there are none, but if you go by the numbers, how many healthy , strong, young people there are, aged 25-27, well , a lot, well, for some reason they are not called up, that is why they have mobilization potential

, and one more thing, one more thing i wanted to say that there are two demotivating factors, the biggest ones, the first is corruption in ukraine, when everyone talks about not only corruption in the central authorities, but our mayor was recently bribed, there is something else, something else, something else, this is the first, then there is corruption in ukraine - it is a factor that demotivates the foundations... them, and the second, when they tell me there something like: well, look, here we all went to fight, but here is a deputy, and he has two sons there, and they did not go to fight, but look, there's a businessman over there, and he has two sons, they didn't go to war, but there's also one deputy over there, and he has two daughters, well, two sons-in-law, two sons-in-law are sitting here, they 've declared themselves in the netya somewhere, yes, there is a type, and this is the second demotivating factor, that it turns out that someone is in and someone is not, and the more

money someone has, the less his children have howling, everyone can see it, everyone can see it, and why, well, if it’s imperceptible in sums, then somewhere in the district center, well, i understand that, mr. viktor, i just want to have time to ask one more question, because time is running out treacherously, well but i will make it, volodymyr zelenskyi said that based on the information of the main intelligence agency, based on information from our partners, he learned that ukraine is preparing maidan 3. we literally have two minutes, how would you rate it? i'll just remind you that on december 1, 2021, there was supposed to be a coup d'état with the participation of akhmetov. it's just me i remind you, it was also talked about then, please, i think that this is stupid, i, as a representative of civil society, as a participant of all the maidans that were before this, i say: volodymyr oleksandrovich, calm down, i will not go out and give others, go to the maidan, there will be no maidan, not only that, and after may 20... next year we will recognize zelensky as the legitimate president, so there is no need to hold elections, but, but all

the talk around what he says there: oh, there is there are traitors, what are the narratives of moscow, that's what i'll tell you, vasyl, when i, in february on the 24th and 25th, i also spoke on many of your channels, on ten channels, i had 10-12 broadcasts there, i said that the sumy authorities abandoned the city and the head of the regional military administration, the mayor there, the police, the sbu, everyone fled, left the city, and the city was defending itself, without power, without superiors , you know what they put on me, viktor boberenko sowed panic, that is, telling the truth is panic, and now i say, volodymyr oleksandrovich, take away corruption and there won't even be any, not even the prerequisites of the maidan it will be, just let them steal from you on the ground, everything, yes , and do it, do something else so that it is fair, so that not

only all the villages are raked, but all the scoundrels, all the children are also raked into the army local deputies. thank you very much, always, as always, emotionally, professionally, and interestingly, viktor boberenko , a political scientist was in touch with us, he represents the political analysis bureau, from sumy oblast, we talked a little about sumy oblast and, in general, about this maidan 3, well and now we will talk in more detail about the situation at the front, such summing up the week with sergey zgurtsen, director of the defense agency, sergey, congratulations, congratulations to you, congratulations to our viewers, today we will talk about what happened on the front line this week, what were the most important events, and try to look at the week that coming up, more on that in a moment, yes, well, let’s get started, i ’ll ask a short question as an introduction, because today we have enough thematic questions, but today supreme commander-in-chief volodymyr zelenskyy held the supreme

commander-in-chief, heard umerov, heard the representatives. generals on the situation in various directions, wrote down to the president how much we need to conduct hostilities, and also regarding the missile program, what do you think, now these rates in light of the fact that we lack help from our military partners, they can direct money and all efforts to strengthening domestic production, well, in fact, we hope for that, because really, when the president mentions the missile program, it is already continues for a considerable period of time, it was activated just before the invasion, and of course the attention from the president, i hope, will speed up the work of those companies that are responsible for this, and with regard to ammunition, drones, other areas, we understand that now, the money from the fees, which were used there for the military or from this road tolls and so on, they

will be directed to the purchase of ammunition and drones, i hope that our industry will be able to manufacture more of these much-needed things for the battlefield, well, this week the drones flew over russia a long way, it’s not the farthest they flew, i remember that once there were flights to engels, i understand 500 or 600 kilometers there, even more there up to 700 km, well but i don’t know what these swifts were flying in my opinion at that time or what they were called, yes, they are still such a ra, but now there were explosions near volgograd, it ’s about 500 km from the launch point, and there were a number of other attacks on the territory of russia, new long -range ukrainian drones, what are they, what are their prospects, what else you can set goals for them, well, indeed, this week we saw several such examples of the effective operation of the new strike drones , although we did not say that they were ukrainian, but logically we understand that these are indeed samples of our defense-industrial complex, we saw several

of such examples, in particular, there were strikes on the bryansk chemical plant , which destroys ammunition systems for self-propelled guns, we saw strikes on the kbb machine-building plant in kolomna, which develops iskanders and daggers, literally there on the 15th there were events near volgograd, where in the village of kotluban there was a strike by drones on small arms powder storages, this just affected the fact that there was a big fire there and is a reflection of this strategy, which the main intelligence agency announced earlier, that is, carrying out strikes on the defense industry structure the enemy, about ammunition storage in the depths of the territory, the enemy, and this is really the use of those systems that have already been developed for a long time, we can talk here about the beaver uav and the morok uav,

whose names and characteristics are already known, that is, a range of more than 500 km, 700 km, which are used for strikes on these objects, and in particular, it seems that yesterday the main intelligence agency there said that this is where the money was collected for the so-called black box, that is, when the trust fund alive and as a group collected about 230 million uah, and with these funds were made the eyes of the bober drones, which caused losses to the enemy of about 900 million dollars, that is, in fact, we see it asymmetrically. an approach that is based on the use of these drones, and now the question of scaling, and about it was just yesterday that the minister of strategic industries, oleksandr kamyshyn, said that we started to manufacture alyashakh drones there, with the number of tens of them per month, i think that we need to manufacture hundreds of them per month, for months, then it will really be a worthy
