checkpoints remain blocked, thousands of drivers are hostage to circumstances. our journalist kateryna oliyn is at the checkpoint of the shoghini doctor. katya, congratulations, tell me what the situation is now, what is known as of this moment? greetings kateryna, greetings to all the viewers of the tv channel, indeed, we are at the checkpoint of shagini medica , and if we talk about queues, then on the ukrainian side there are no queues, cargo trucks move according to the e-queue, but the queue is another side of the border. reaches 75 km, as the drivers themselves say. as you know, the blockade of the border began on november 6, and then the poles blocked three checkpoints, in particular , raveruska, ravaruska grebene,

yagodyn dorogusk and krakowiec korchova, and on november 23 they just blocked shagynny medica. in general, it is about what happened... the poles set up their roadblocks, they make it difficult for cars to pass, and they also left because they hint that the products of the poles are being sold cheaply, and one of their demands is to return ukrainian drivers special permits to enter the eu, and they also want a separate queue so as not to stand with ukrainian carriers in the e-queue, these are their main demands, well, we can talk about the fact that in the information of the polish zmi, the general time, how long ukrainian drivers stand at the border is about 140 hours, this is the average time, we talked to the drivers, asked how long they

have to stand and what they think about the border blockade, let's hear, they stood for five days, they block the border, i don't know why , it seems to me that there is more flying here. than, than all that, then, then something related to politics, then not related to transportation, with all that, i am not satisfied with it at all , i think that they are as the pro-russians say, this is my opinion, they support everything, of course, normal poles drive across europe, they have nothing against our border, they do not block those who travel across europe, those who traveled to belarus, to russia, cheap fuel, they got used to us, now they do not go there, they want to come to us, and everything, and here they are. what is my opinion like that, i arrived last night and now i am waiting, i don't have all the documents, i am waiting they dropped me the documents, but the boss came to me, he brought them to me, therefore, the ukrainian drivers with whom we spoke say

that they still have enough products, that volunteers help on the other side of the border, as well as in particular their employers, in general there is a blockade - a very serious blow to the economy of ukraine, according to experts' forecasts... we have already suffered losses of 400 million euros, this is a very large amount, and enterprises are also suffering, businesses are suffering, and in particular ukrainian carriers are suffering, which actually go bankrupt i would like to note that the polish side has permission to blockade the border until january 3 , 2024, this is a very difficult situation, considering the fact that ukrainian drivers may, well, lack food. fuel, currently the ukrainian side has not reached a compromise, no agreements have been reached, so the situation remains tense, i will pass the word to you, kateryna. thank you, katya, i will remind you, it was our journalist kateryna oliynyk, she is currently on the border of ukraine and poland, we will follow the development

of the border blockade by a group of polish carriers one of the checkpoints on the border with poland will not work for. due to power outages. actually, we are talking about the checkpoint in hryny dolgubichyv. the polish side will carry out repairs there, and the point will temporarily stop work from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. he hunted the positions of the armed forces. the security service detained an agent of the russian fsb in chernihiv region. a 20-year-old man has been collecting divorce data since october. of the ukrainian military, tried to establish the exact coordinates of the headquarters, and he was also interested in the places of the greatest concentration of personnel composition and technology. russia planned to use this data for artillery strikes. the man faces life imprisonment.

according to the decision of the higher anti-corruption court, the former deputy head of the state special service, viktor zhora, will be kept in custody with the possibility of payment. pledges of uah 10 million. this was reported by the press services of nabu-tap. he is suspected of embezzling state funds in the amount of over uah 62 million. as is known, the investigators found out that the owner of the company, in collusion with the leadership of the state intelligence service, developed a scheme to seize budget funds allocated for purchase of equipment and software. the sbi completed the investigation of the helicopter crash in brovary. it happened on january 18, 2023. the case materials were opened for review by the suspects and lawyers, as well as the victims and their representatives. after familiarization , she will be handed over to the court. in august, five officials

it will be more difficult for the european union to seek ukraine's support in the un due to the situation in the middle east. this was stated by the high representative of the eu for foreign policy, josep borel. according to him, such countries as, for example, chile, which helped a lot with the condemnation of russia, say that they do not understand the position of the eu regarding the gas strip. in particular, they compare the position with both wars and believe that the european union is not consistent, although, according to borel, it is completely different conflicts that cannot be compared. three generations of a family from kirovohrad region - participants in the war with russia. when his son was wounded, 58-year-old teacher mykola berdnyk went to the front as a volunteer. now ahead. the grandson and son-in-law of the hero of our story, the bertniks themselves are engaged in volunteering and

united the residents of two districts with this cause, our journalists will tell their story further. tetyana and mykola berdniki have been together for 44 years, they have worked in education all their lives, raised three children, the couple has been volunteering since the time of ato, although - says tetyana - the word is for it is foreign to them to help others in the blood of ukrainians. the word volunteering. i don't like it, because it's, well, for me, it's foreign, people have always helped each other in ukraine, there have always been helpers, they've always met each other somewhere, the masonry broke, the people got together and fixed it, someone has a house there it broke, or something else, we had to build a house, we built it together. in their eagerness to help the army, bernyky united the inhabitants of two districts around themselves, the name krayans came out spontaneously, and it is true that kra' means both neighbors and brothers. mykola berdnyk shows a map where

marked volunteer network. this is a map of the kirovohrad region, on it are marked with flags those settlements with which we cooperate in our volunteer activities. together, ukrainians weave nets, prepare delicacies, sew stretchers for the wounded and flags. the girls sew the burdens, the flags, well , the flags - these are my late son. he bought the cloth for 20,000, it is no longer there, we make the flags. berdnyk's son served in the special forces regiment, in 2014 he received a serious head injury, this year the 43-year-old man died, a wall in the room that serves volunteer center, his portrait. for now, this is all the news for this hour, you can find more interesting and relevant information on our website espresso.tv, as well as on our social networks. join us with your preferences and don't forget to respond to our meetings and report, we really appreciate it.

we are starting a second innovator to develop a new car, we need to... blow it up, maybe this is the first time i will say it, on which chassis did you stop for the guard anyway? we will reveal when we present, we have new corrupt officers, these are anti-corruption officers, they have left. how much does it cost one mina approximately? cool question. wow, what other options were there, let's cut it out. hello to all viewers of military courier, this is a

timely project, and today we are talking about the supply of modern armored vehicles to the defense forces of ukraine. as you know, today. there is a lot of talk about how much weaponry the western allies have transferred to ukraine, but unfortunately, not so much is said about the fact that ukraine itself is capable of producing modern armored vehicles, like this one, this is the ukrainian novator armored car, a car that is very good at...' to the ukrainian defenders, she proved herself well at the front, but recently the ukrainian armored vehicle company, which produces this armored car, collected all the wishes of ukrainian defenders and presented a new, updated second version of this armored car. what is new in the second innovator , as well as what the manufacturer of this armored car, the ukrainian armored vehicle company, is facing

, today we will talk with the head of this company, vladyslav belbas, and we will also do a test for you: drive this powerful armored car. recently, at the armaments exhibition in poland, you represented the friend version of your novator armored car. how is it different from the first version? well, we do not position it as the second version. we position it as a modification of the existing innovator. vladyslav belbas, general director of the ukrainian armored vehicles company. the enterprise is one of the largest private manufacturers of military equipment and weapons in ukraine. ukrainian armored vehicles manufacture varta and novator armored vehicles, mortars of various calibers and self-propelled guns. the company also participates in the joint production of the legendary ukrainian self-propelled howitzer bohdan since the novator was

conceptually developed as a modular structure. and under the use of different payloads according to the technical task that was at the time of its development, it began development in 2017 and completed testing in 2018, and the delivery began, and this is a modification of the innovator for 10 people for the driver. and a nine-man crew, by the way, the name is innovator, well, everything is clear with the watch, why is it worth, the innovator, who came up with such a name, and why exactly like that, well, this is a difficult question, but how it was, what other options were there, we’ll cut it, no, i can’t say how it was, because i was in the company from the 20th, the rocket began to be developed and delivered, i won’t tell you how it was, the innovator

is probably a traditional one by some name, well, - the first innovation. well, let's say, if we talk about the history of the development of the car, then the innovator was put into production before mass production of jltv cars was launched in the usa, if you compare the design, then this is a five-seater car with a pickup-type body for the use of various useful load, it is in such simple comparative words, maybe this is an innovator, but what is a factory. the second innovator, i don't know if you have heard, but this armored car, with a capacity of more than 400 horsepower, starts much quieter than my ford focus, let's go, the first innovator was

produced back in 2017. most of the cars were ordered by the national guard of ukraine at that time. six years have passed, and innovators have appeared in the armed forces, border guards, and the security service of ukraine. during this time, the manufacturer collected feedback from ukrainian defenders who have been performing on the novators for years combat missions this is how the second version of this armored car appeared. unlike the first five-seater model, the second novator has 10 seats, one for the driver and nine for passengers. the military insisted, if. resources for the purchase of new transport are limited, it is necessary to increase its capacity. comfortable seats have five-point safety belts, as on rally cars, and independently. fastening, it absorbs the energy of the explosion, saving the soldier's spine, in case the car hits a mine. there is a powerful system in the cabin and under the hood

a fire alarm that works in milliseconds. this is simply a unique car. you just don't feel the road, although we are driving cross-country now. the peculiarity of this second innovator is that, compared to the first version , an air cushion has been added here, which dampens all vibrations and helps the rear axle to stabilize the car. in addition to the pneumatic cushion, which improved the handling of the innovator off-road, its second version also received an improved suspension, since the mass of the car behind the rear axle was strengthened by springs, and the system was improved braking. in general, the ford 550 chassis, on which the novator is built, is designed for 9

weights, but ukrainian armored vehicles were able to modify it so that it could withstand 15 tons of load. novator's ranflete tires, i.e. they are able to help the car travel another 50 km if damaged due to a special support insert. and this is according to ukrainian. the military saved their lives more than once. a powerful ford eight-cylinder engine with a volume of 6.7 liters is strengthened by a turbine and produces from 300 horses of power, due to which this heavy the armored car rushes along the track just like a swallow and overcomes off-road just like a beast. your direct foreign competitors, yes, who have already appeared at the front in ukraine.

then cobra turkeskad polsanivskyi israeli it is not yet at the front, but nevertheless, it is the fact that in this market niche, what is the advantage of the innovator over them, well, except for the price, of course, sandket, in the security service of ukraine, has been used since the 16th year, it seems, that is why we have such experience, and we... er, i told you that we work, we worked with plasan also in cooperation, cobra is not quite a direct competitor, it is a 4.4 monocok car, you are a monocoque type, uh, really, a good car, ah, by the way, i don’t know how ours buy them, but they are, yes, uh, about three dozens of such were delivered in the spring. in ukraine, yes, how does it differ from competitors, well, if we go back, let’s say, to the history of the creation of the innovator, then it was the first car in ukraine created on the basis of the ford f550 chassis, at

the moment, for the 23-22nd year, it is one of the most massive, the most massive chassis used for production armored cars in general in the world, the chassis has confirmed its reliability of technical characteristics and is therefore actively used by manufacturers of armored cars, and as for this, this is one of the advantages, yes, that is, it is the reliability of the basic chassis, the reliability of the engine, and high power, we declare a maximum speed of 140 km /h, which is a very high speed for an armored car, but in practice we drove it at 160, this is the first time, secondly, the engine itself shows very significant ... power characteristics, and the power and torque allow it to be quite fast

to gain speed, i apologize for the tautology, to gain speed quickly, and in combat it is very important, now we have such a change in the concept of application, before we entered there heavy armor, some armored systems, and armored vehicles, now it is easier and faster, that is, there must be a car protected, but very fast, for high-speed movement of movement, an important point for all military personnel, in order to move from the ground to the track, and the armored car worked more efficiently, for this it must be transferred to the position of one driver bridge, that's all. we turned off 4/4 and now the car can just fly like a swallow, accelerating quickly, instead

of a rear-view mirror, here we have a monitor, the rear-view camera transmits an image to it, the car flies along the track very conveniently, smoothly, calmly, the car behaves very easily on the road, the speed is almost imperceptible, at 110 km/h an armored car of this weight turns very... easily, just a unique car, some military experts say that it is okay, if the guard can be called a full-fledged emrap, i.e. a machine protected from ambushes and with anti-mine protection, the novator is a little short of modern rap standards, do you agree with such a statement, it is not stated in its technical characteristics that it is a snarl, so it really is not a snarl.

but in social networks everywhere, but in practice, he even exceeded the requirements for a mine, we have a case where the innovator was blown up on two landmines at once, on one landmine and then on another landmine, that is 8 kg in the equivalent of a tortilla, that is, it there, these are the requirements of even states 3, ee by detonation, therefore... in practice, we have many actual confirmed detonations on various explosive devices, and fortunately the servicemen were not injured, and the car withstood such detonations, that is, we do not declare such characteristics, but in fact they are confirmed by the practical use of cars , the only thing we have, fatal

... cases of a car, is when it was hit by a tank shot, but even tanks do not protect against a tank shot, but the novator impresses not only with driving characteristics, but also security is less important. ukrainian developers say that the car received the best armor possible in this class. the body of the armored car has circular protection against being shot by a 545-caliber kalashnikov assault rifle and a 762-caliber sniper rifle. the bottom of the car is shaped like this for better dispersion of the energy of the explosion, the manufacturer claims that the novator’s armored capsule can withstand the detonation of explosives equivalent to up to 6 kg of tnt, but in reality the car turned out to be even more stable. recently, a photo went viral on social networks of one of the innovators, who was blown up on the front line by an anti-tank mine, and this is 8 kg

of tnt. the car itself. unfortunately, it was damaged, but it saved the lives of four ukrainian soldiers who were riding in it. here is a ford engine on a novator, and such a question is very practical, how does it cope with our ukrainian military diesel engine? in general, it's great, we didn't have any problems with the engines, er, in general, it seems that the engine was repaired only once out of the entire number of delivered cars. i.e., he is so capricious and he and we perform certain actions with a purpose simplification of emission standards, reduction of e-e pickiness about fuel, but in general it is really good there in terms of its technical characteristics and not pickiness of the engine.

how do you keep in touch with the military regarding - well , improvements, improvements to the car, and, well, first of all, unfortunately, our war has been going on since 2014, yes, and all these cars that we supplied before since 2015, they are always accepting participation in hostilities, yes, that's why our cars did not take part in hostilities there from february 24, 2022, but before that they accepted, and such requirements, request recommendations were given to us constantly , they are constantly used by designers, as it happens in practice, each of our machines is assigned to some division, with this division they communicate with our service, our service manager and, we understand what problems arise there, or communication, what recommendations they give, here you need to understand that
