such mobile towers were from the border guards of the sumy region, the first phantom shield tower was also 23 m high. and then the towers were improved, they became more compact, more convenient and more energy-independent. so there were modifications of the shield, the trench tower, the shield, the pickup, and the beads. currently , 30 towers are operating in different directions of the front. we continue: the drone that the russians launched over ukraine crashed in the temporarily occupied crimea. it happened because of bad weather. that believed over the peninsula, the defense forces of southern ukraine reported, about the consequences of the fall of the attack drone they tell and yuriy fedorenko - the commander of the achilles 92 attack unmanned aircraft complex company of the separate assault brigade named after koshovo, tamana sirka joins us. glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. mr. yuri, please tell us about the weather conditions, how they affect the work of your unit.

and of course, the drone operation, in what way it takes place, when we understand that the war does not stop, and the weather makes its adjustments, i will give specific examples, i have repeatedly said, for example, if we are with with our mobile phones in the yard and sub-zero temperature, it will sit down much faster, everyone should pay attention to this, the same applies to means that work on electronic batteries, respectively. the time spent in the air is reduced by one battery , as well as the range at which we can work, this also affects, if we speak in general about the weather, when it rains, it is serious enough, the communication routes are washed away and each of us knows that on the summer road we we can get from point to point b without problems, even in the rear cities, but when the roads are are scattered, this creates quite difficult difficulties, the same thing happens at the front, and considering the fact that the communication routes of the advance , well, theirs... are a tarnished network, but

armored and heavy vehicles also drive, accordingly , it becomes more difficult to drive on pickup trucks and jeeps with increased cross-country ability, therefore, it also affects logistics, weather conditions, if we talk about rains and strong winds that bend trees to the ground, of course, bpa means have restrictions on their use due to gusts of wind, and therefore the work is slowed down, but despite the bad weather, despite other challenges that in front of us there are defense forces, including our unit. the 92nd assault brigade is in position around the clock, and as soon as it stops raining, the unmanned aerial vehicle can carry out its tasks, both as spawners and strike devices of day and night use, and also perform tasks and destroy and eliminate the enemy. in particular, just yesterday, when the plus-minus weather was stable for a short period of time, it was possible to destroy a wall mortar and several vehicles that provided the enemy with logistics, and

of course, to work according to the personnel in the steering groups, eliminating them, which also greatly simplifies the ability to hold the defense for our infantrymen who are on the front line, because here i want to note that the infantrymen are the most difficult work that is in the defense forces, and they heroically perform assigned tasks, how to hold positions, sometimes by water, and accordingly, when the opportunity arises, knock out the enemy from the front edge and improve their position, mr. yuri, and what do you say, according to the ratio of by the number of drones, unmanned aerial vehicles, which, let's say, on that side , on the enemy side, and in terms of the number that we can use, there is some kind of parity here, it is necessary to analyze, so to answer the question more broadly, if we are talking about centralized the means that are in service in the russian army, orland hall reconnaissance, the impact type of the lancet, of course , the enemy will have more such means at the moment. they have been producing since

2014, our similar reconnaissance vehicles that are in service are manufactured by are produced by ukrainian private companies, there are still fewer of them because production is being scaled up, but production is being scaled up and this is the key. if we talk about fividruvanne, then the ratio in the priority direction for the opponents is roughly five to one, one nazhdron against five opponents, but the motivation of the personnel and the talent makes it possible to ensure parity due to the use of these armors, not by number, but in terms of quality, if we are talking about night bombers, which the enemy calls babayaga, this is exclusively a ukrainian development, and at the moment, the enemy does not have such means, we understand that they will potentially appear, since this is an effective means , but here the state of ukraine is the first state in the world that has made such means and for almost a year they have been coming to the front and effectively every night combat tasks, burning dozens of pieces of military equipment , i want to clarify, i understand that you work with something that

has wings, but in general under the condition that you cannot use flying machines, unmanned aerial systems. drones, fpv, and others, what are the prospects for production and the use of ground drones, what do you know about it, well, we will call drones robotic equipment, they have slightly different tasks, they mostly do not conduct that reconnaissance, although there are also such projects, yes, which are capable of raising certain towers, providing situational awareness at the expense of they have a different orientation, they carry out demining for the most part, also bring gifts against... to the position and also carry out the evacuation of our personnel. robotic technology within our country is also rapidly developing in some divisions the defense forces are actively using it, but here i would like to note that all robotic equipment, unmanned aerial vehicles, are expendable material, which

is unfortunately lost in connection with adverse weather conditions and threats of radio electronic warfare, fire means of the enemy, therefore they must be available in quantity, at the moment the state of ukraine cannot fully block... the supply of production, because the scope of the war is very wide, and here it is very important that the civilian sector continues to go side by side with the front and can it be necessary to help so that we can ensure parity, at least the front yard and be effective in the war against the occupier, ugh, mr. yuri, we are closely monitoring the reports of the general staff about enemy losses every day, please tell us how the weather conditions are, for example, such heavy snowfalls that have passed in recent days, they affect... the objectivity of this information, can we assume that the losses are actually greater and simply the weather does not allow them to be counted objectively, as for when there is no possibility

to visually confirm the elimination of this or that group of the enemy, there are other means of intelligence, which we will not talk about on the air, which make it possible to understand whether this or that group was destroyed either in direct combat by our infantrymen, or, for example, at the expense of artillery means, therefore that when there are no drones in the air, it significantly weakens the performance of tasks, but there is another tactic of observation, reconnaissance for reconnaissance, which makes it possible to detect enemy groups, also with armored vehicles, at the expense of artillery means, to inflict sufficiently powerful fire on them impression, if we speak, in this way, the information provided by the general staff , in my opinion, it is objective, if we talk about the winter period and military operations in the winter, this is already the third winter, the third period of cold weather, when our defenders will give resistance to the occupiers, something else may surprise you, in particular, mr. yury, when meat assaults were seen, the enemy continues this practice, phosphorous

charges were seen, the enemy also continues this practice, violating the rules of warfare and many other things, flugas bombs. and chemical weapons, what else, what could you expect from the russians, well, i don't know how to formulate it correctly, maybe you can correct me, what, maybe you are preparing for, the enemy is very carefully analyzing what means, fire means, technical means, means, many other things that are effective in the war against ukraine, and he is trying to produce these means in quantity, as well as to modernize them. we know there was an upgrade to the lancet strike drone, we see there was an upgrade to the shaheds, yes they they installed another engine, which allows it to move faster, and in other means, such as

radio electronic intelligence, radio electronic warfare, the enemy is trying to improve, but the defense forces do not stand still in this matter, they are quite effective from our side. there is provision, modernization, and countermeasures, so it is a constant race, constant challenges, but it is very important that thanks to the effective work of our intelligence, about some challenges that may appear en masse from the enemy on the contact line in 3-4 months, we already know today and are preparing for an effective countermeasure, and in this war it is very important to ensure technical dynamics , the more technical means we have, the more drones, the more ammunition, the more lives of our boys and girls will be saved and destroyed the enemy thank you for your protection, your brothers and sisters, and for joining our broadcast, yury fedorenko, commander of the 92nd akhiles attack unmanned aircraft complex company, a separate assault brigade named after koshovoy taman ivan sirk, was with us. in

ukraine will change the order of mobilization, the details of the innovation will be announced within a week, oleksiy da told the guardian in an interview. secretary of the national security and defense council of ukraine. according to him, mobilization will become more flexible. ukraine plans to use commercial recruiting companies, and this should make recruitment more targeted. the involvement of such companies should reassure conscripts that they will fill roles that match their skills, and not just go to the front. some people are afraid, afraid to die, are afraid to shoot, but that doesn't mean they can't be involved in other activities. mobilization will become more flexible, those specialties that are needed will be announced, and people will apply for a specific position, for example, they need welders or locksmiths. and so on, roman kostenko, secretary of the parliamentary

committee on national security, defense and intelligence, colonel of the security service of ukraine, greetings to you, mr. roman, good day, studio, please tell me, in general, how much the topic mobilization is being discussed among the deputies, as far as it is, well, this is very important, it is generally important in society, if it is important in society, of course, it is also discussed in the deputies, and many people are already talking there about the new draft law, which it seems to have been worked out, but there is no draft law yet, there is a working group under the leadership of maryana bezuglovai who will work out some issues regarding mobilization and what drafts of this draft law there are already, we saw there, but in general the draft law is still

no, now after the president said that he instructed the commander-in-chief and the minister of defense to submit their proposals or work on mobilization, i think that after that we will already see some movements in this direction and in particular then it will be clear what role and the seat of the verkhovna rada is here. actually, i still wanted to ask you about one important point and an important statement of the prime minister of ukraine, in an interview with the financial times, he said that our economy should become a military one, following the example of israel, in your opinion, how much we at all ready both economically and morally to accept the fact that we are transitioning into the regime of a country at war.

well, we have to understand that our budget already consists of half of defense expenditures, and the other part is expenditures that we can save there, of course we need to limit unnecessary expenditures as much as possible, there are some constructions, unnecessary roads, structures , or other directions, and we have to put it all down primarily to the rise of the military industry, because if we compare it with the russian federation, we can see what amount of funds they are attracting for the next year for the production of weapons, for the maintenance of the army, for purchases, it is much more than ours, due to the fact that they also have a much larger budget, so just comparing this , we can conclude that we have a strong opponent, so of course we have to, now first of all, make sure that our funds work: for the development of the military economy, for the maintenance of the army, for the development and purchase of military products, and of course, we have

everyone should understand that without the support, including the financial support of our partners, we can compete with the budget of the russian federation, even fight on the military front, this is a very difficult and difficult situation, well , the situation with the defense expenditures of the russian federation is really interesting. which they are increasing for the next year and with the statements they are making to scare the north atlantic alliance in general, saying that they are allegedly being pushed into such a more serious war, but let us still focus on the fact that is happening here, and in particular on the fronts, now the enemy is focused on the bakhmut and avdiiv areas, so what do you see there, mr. roman, as the strategic ones of the russian federation?

well, the biggest goal of, let's say, the russian federation, the one that they have not yet removed from themselves, of course, but the closest thing they want is to reach the borders of the donetsk and luhansk regions, and that's what they're trying to concentrate on now, it's in them the main such goal, of course, it can already be called long-term, because in the near future we understand that in them, they they see that this will not work, well, we hope that it will in the future. the closest thing they hope for, of course, i consider it a political decision of theirs , political whims, this, the capture of avdiyivka, where they are now... creating conditions for the encirclement of our units, where they are now simply throwing thousands, let's say, a meat grinder the wars of their soldiers, and they are trying to close the traps that were created almost two years ago, a year and a half ago, when these movements were just beginning, so of course our defense forces are standing by and doing everything they can, but

let's say, the number one task for the russians is to capture the city of avdiivka, because the victory is already greater. than a year they did not get any, and the only victory, which was bakhmut, she , it was beautifully on the pennant, was blamed on the criminals of wagner, who is now being discredited by the russian government itself, it turns out that the russians have only losses near kharkov, under on the right bank of kherson, and wagner's criminals after that have thousands of buried corpses there, sold bahmut, therefore of course for putin, for his end of the year and for the subsequent elections it would be important to have some kind of victory, that's what they hope for, that's why from a military point of view, when the military looks there , well, it's very difficult to justify what it is, what is the significance of avdiivka, but politically, we see that they are trying to hang themselves it's on the flag.

mr. roman, if we talk about the left bank of the dnieper, what is the main task of the enemy there , do we understand correctly that it is the enemy's oleshkin road, yes, the enemy controls this road there, the enemy's task is not to give us the opportunity to expand our platform and to make sure that fewer of our troops were transferred to the left bank for expansion, that is, our main task is that our soldiers have established themselves there and now we are trying to expand this land. the enemy is throwing reserves there, including removing them from other directions. including from the east and zaporozhye, well , actually weakening somewhere there, i won't say that it is critically weakening, but it is still weakening, and at this moment it is trying to throw our troops into the river. the task of our troops is to expand the bridgehead, so that it is possible, plandarme it is considered successful when already inside it you can somehow maneuver and not be constantly under fire.

the enemy there increased the number and used artillery, brought up, fresh forces and we are rushing to drop our bridgehead, but the guys are holding on, the weather is usually bad now, but they are doing everything they can. but actually, if we talk about the weather, please tell me to what extent it is able to freeze the current course of hostilities, and in principle, how great are the risks that we will not see any changes either way the other side until the spring and before the warming, well, just looking at what changes we are talking about now, in fact, if we are talking about the entire front line, then we have no special changes since last year, we have such a positional war, if we consider the situation strategically , and this is not because we are bad there or someone is bad there, the problem is that now both sides have accumulated such a number of weapons that each one is 100 m away, and we pushed

10 km there in zaporizhzhia, they are given at a rather high price, we must understand this, and now and the enemy took up defenses, we built up our defenses in many directions , and the question is that no one can advance backwards or forwards, and well, the weather, of course, it affects, and when the weather is cold, it also affects the conduct of reconnaissance, and for the advancement of units, that is, every weather, whether it is autumn or winter, it has its pluses and minuses, from the pluses for those who conduct reconnaissance there, it is, for example, worse camouflage, it is easier to detect the enemy's position, but at the same time even elementary things, the batteries in drones work worse in the cold, there you can see those drones better, there is also mud, we understand, the passability of the equipment, now you can name hundreds of factors both for and against, but objectively the activity of hostilities in general is decreasing, well, thank you, thank you, thank you

for joining, roman kostenko , the secretary of the parliamentary committee on national security, defense and intelligence, the sbu colonel was in touch with us. and the european commission does not see a negative impact of ukrainian grain on european markets. such a statement was made at a meeting of the european parliament on agriculture. in the eu supported the work of the humanitarian black sea corridor and corridors of solidarity, through which products will go, and products from ukraine go through european countries. meanwhile, one of the leaders of the polish opposition, the head of the committee on foreign affairs of the seimas, pawel kowal, called on the polish authorities to do everything to stop the strike of polish drivers on the border with ukraine. in koval's opinion, this situation at the border affects ukrainian-polish relations, poland's reputation in the world and cooperation with the european union, blocking... the three largest checkpoints for trucks across the border has been going on for more than three weeks, a few days ago the blockade of the fourth checkpoint began. maksym gardus,

an economic expert, is now joining our broadcast. good night, mr. maxim. congratulations. please tell me, from an economic point of view, today's polish-ukrainian blockade, what are the losses? now, the agents are just counting. these losses, because they are divided into several categories: firstly, direct losses of the trucking company itself, it is much easier to calculate them, it is approximately 350-500 dollars per day for one truck, it is much more difficult to calculate the losses of counterparties, i.e. actual cargo owners or those who expect the cargo. the easiest way to do this is with fuel, because since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, we have completely stopped imports from russia from belarus for

obvious reasons, but instead russia bombed our oil refineries, and currently we are 100% dependent on imports coming from the western border, the situation is not completely. it's tragic, because the big carriers bring fuel by rail, but not the big ones by road transport, but i think that if it continues, these losses will be transferred to the prices, because they have nothing to cover them anymore, that is, if they let road transporters bypass poland, and even more so, if slovakia also joins in, because at the moment it is not 100 % is clear, then these are transport costs, they will be transferred to the ceiling, that is, to price tags, and

thus it will affect the cost of goods, another separate category, these are those who expect various components or goods from europe, that's a lot of people , because of course we also do not have... now not only sea exports, but also sea imports, these are household goods, furniture, textiles, appliances and everything else, they are simply expensive, and separately, and with the same as with fuel, if they are taken in a detour, that is, all the way through hungary or through romania, then this increases the cost of delivery, according to some data, due to...' a temporary deficit on the romanian route, because in principle it has never been the most important for ukraine in terms of motor vehicles and

there are not so many carriers with the appropriate permits, prices for transportation in the zurmon direction jumped to five or six times, which, of course, is not reflected in the final price of these goods when they are sold in ukraine. mr. maxim, experts suggest that the situation at the border may change in two weeks, when the government of donald tusk comes to power, here you see, they are even starting to joke that tusk will bring order, but the current prime minister also has two weeks, and it 's interesting why the poles are dragging it now, given that it's the same donald. tusk said that the polish government is to blame for everything, will those responsible be brought to justice, in what way, whether compensation will be paid for the damage caused, i think that the question

of political competition, in poland it is quite obvious, the outgoing government is very profitable, if its successor will have the most problems, the incoming governments, of course he will say... that the predecessors are to blame for everything, aa as far as is known, except for mere rhetoric , the future, we hope, and the tusk government has already started, to work on, a way out of the situation, that is , they have gathered their experts and fellow party members and members of the coalition, who are not yet ministers, in order to work out a solution, it is very good, because in principle, if they work out, this is a solution, and well , in principle, everything will be solved, then when the government is sworn in, we hope, in two

weeks or so. .. it remains only to formalize it in the form of documents, and not to start the discussion from scratch. huh, that would be very good, in relation to the situation, i think it is very doubtful, because from a formal point of view, those who block the road are not guilty of anything, they are exercising the right to protest, which is normal for a democratic country, and what that the special services of poland... will ever prove that it's all russian money, well, i think it won't be in two weeks, if ever, but somewhere in the very distant future. mr. maksym, please tell me, the european commission agreed to the ban on the sale of russian diamonds, how serious a blow is it to the russian economy? er, yes, it is quite a tangible blow, it is approximately very difficult to calculate, because there are certain problems in russia.

statistics, but the government of the united states of america names almaz in the top 10 not oil and gas products in terms of profitability, but 97% export of diamonds from russia, carried out by the avrosa corporation, diamonds of russia, and this is a very profitable campaign, which is a powerful donor to the budget, because it pays in the 22nd year, 66% of the profit as dividends, this is a very significant amount, especially against the background of losses, gazprom, rosneft, everything else, and besides, it is export for local development in the angel yakutsk regions, that is, it is an important direction of export, and very profitable, because there, the ratio of added value... and

the actual cost price is very good, much more than in oil, and this applies to a lesser extent, to a lesser extent, to diamonds themselves, to a greater extent to diamonds, so very, diamonds, it will be very interesting to see how exactly the sanctions against russia were formulated, the fact is that russia is a powerful player in the world diamond market , and a very small player in the world market of diamonds, that is, they don't really have a cut, they spent 10 billion rubles to make a diamond valley in yakutia, that is, their own border center, but nothing came of it, it went bankrupt and interesting, that's why it's important to ban both diamonds and diamonds, as well as their re-export, then i'll knock it down as much as possible, well, thank you very much for your opinion, we hope

to continue this interesting. topic in our next conversations, maksym gardus, an economic expert was in touch with us, but we continue our broadcast, stay with us. chevrons approaching victory. they wanted us to live in a corrupt state, a satellite of russia, but we chose our path, defended our choice and moved, and for 10 years now we have been relentlessly going, going and strengthening democracy, let's go and develop the economy, reform the courts and law enforcement agencies, create special anti-corruption bodies from scratch, get rid of russian and

oligarchic influence, digitalize all public services, take care of our people, create powerful armed forces according to nato standards, develop civil society, we are fighting the aggressor and finally moving from the candidate to membership in the eu. we are going, and we cannot be stopped, because we know why. 10 years of struggle, 10 years of development, 10 years of dignity. freedom strengthen the borders of ukraine drones, join the border guard gathering. congratulations, this is marafi news. the rada tv channel team is working for you. we keep our finger on the pulse and summarize the main points for you. together we are a force. the only news, in the center of events. congratulations, it's the 645th day of russia's full-scale war against ukraine. news time on the air

of the nationwide marathon. my name is olga bytko, let's get started.
