the most current news, so be sure to wait, and we will hand over the floor to our news editor in order to inform you about what you must know about. greetings, dear viewers, this is news, with you anna eva melnyk and the espresso team will tell you about the most current events at the moment, i'll start with this: kryga from the chair, ukraine and poland have worked out a solution, where the border blockades are. this was reported in the ukrainian ministry of infrastructure. the parties agreed to open the ogryn dolgobych checkpoint. for passing empty trucks also agreed to create.

in the system, there is a queue of separate passes for empty vehicles at the jagodin dorogutsk and krakivets korchova checkpoints, and they are also planning to launch a pilot registration in the e-queue immediately before crossing the border at the nizhankovichi, malhovice checkpoint, a period of one month, the issue of cancellation or changes to the transport visa-free not discussed ukrainian truck drivers suspended their hunger strike. carriers waiting to cross at the krykevets korchova checkpoint talked with their polish colleagues. the preliminary agreement is that they will let seven cars per hour. this is reported by the correspondents of the public. humanitarian aid and military baggage traffic will move without a queue. complicated or

sorry, from today, december 1 , new rules for the import of humanitarian aid from the ministry of social policy come into force. the main change is the introduction of the electronic accounting system. voluntary communities opposed it en masse. my colleagues will tell you why and what has changed for them. natalia lipska is the founder of the charity fund krylonadiy, there is an organization that takes care of providing medics. the fund also distributes humanitarian resettlement aid. most of what is needed comes from abroad, so the new rules for the import of humanitarian aid directly affect natalia's activities, our administration is doubled, because now we have our own accounting system, where we enter all the data, and now we are adding another one and there you also need to enter all the data. as a charitable foundation, we will not be able to enter cars for our own use. in the volunteer community believe that due to the new rules, aid for the military may be reduced by 80%.

that is why charitable foundations and public organizations filed a petition with the demand to postpone the innovation, the most vulnerable categories will be delivered more than ever, because we already know that a lot of shipments have been stopped, for example, we are not transporting cars now and our partners are not transporting cars, no containers have arrived from america, from canada, because no one knew, we were promised, of course, that everything would work before the first, well, tomorrow we will go into the system and see, it works, it does not work, new rules of admission and accounting of humanitarians. will complicate the process of buying front -line cars from abroad, the founder of the lviv knight andriy salyuk emphasizes this. we will have to look for some organization that will supposedly formally transfer this car from here to ukraine. this, this is not true, and that is why such collusions, unfortunately , there are a lot of such collusions in this project, you see, these rules were invented by people just sitting in their offices, instead of talking to the real volunteers who are engaged in this assistance.

since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia , humanitarian cargo has been transported according to a simplified scheme, according to paper declarations. according to the new rules, charitable foundations and organizations have gained access to the new digital declaration, according to the new rules , only a legal entity that has registered in the electronic cabinet can be the recipient of humanitarian cargo. so in order for the organization to be able to report what it received in the future, including to the tax authorities. such and such amount of humanitarian aid, she must show how she distributed it, and did not sell when creating a report, i show everything that came in and add a record to whom i distributed it. lawyer marta ligus, one of the members of the working group of the ministry of social policy on humanitarian aid, marta and other volunteers have been checking the automated system in recent weeks. we tested this system, made simulations... the import of humanitarian aid

, created declarations there, tried to make reports and thus drew certain conclusions for ourselves, which aspects of this system are acceptable for us, and what should be taken away, and what improve the cabinet of ministers responded to numerous requests from volunteers. therefore, the electronic declaration procedure will be voluntary, but until april 1. at the same time , aid can be imported using paper declarations. ukrainian philanthropists ask the authorities for clear explanations on how to use the new system. kateryna oliynyk, nazar melnyk, espresso tv channel. head of state intelligence. yuriy moronenko became a military man, he was appointed by the government, before that moronenko was the commander of the shock company of the bpp, which works in the zaporizhzhia direction. new the chairman promised to present a plan for the development of state special communications in the near future. he stressed that the work will be based on zero tolerance for corruption. yuriy

myronenko, at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, fought as part of the 112th brigade of teroborona kyiv. awarded a silver cross, let me remind you that the ex-head of the state intelligence service is suspected of embezzlement. he designed the product as a humanitarian. the state bureau of investigation detained an employee of lviv customs for bribery. he offered the representative of the commercial structure to facilitate the quick registration of products without paying mandatory customs payments. he determined his remuneration as a percentage of the total value of the cargo. but the businessman did not accept the offer and turned to the law enforcement officers. investigators documented several meetings between the official and the businessman. the customs officer received 22 dollars for the unimpeded passage of goods under the guise of humanitarian aid, without paying the mandatory customs payments. the defendant's profit

amounted to 14% of the real value of the cargo. dbbr employees detained the official after receiving another bribe in the amount of 1,600 dollars. the assembly of the international maritime organization elected the new composition of the council for 2024-2025. russia did not enter it. the president of ukraine , volodymyr zelenskyi, announced this. he emphasized that this is a fair decision, because no one has caused more damage to free shipping in recent decades than the russian federation. the head of ukraine thanked the member of the international maritime organization for this responsible step. another 146 ukrainians applied for help in evacuating from the gaza strip. about a hundred of these citizens had permission to leave before, but did not take advantage of this opportunity, said the ambassador of ukraine to israel yevhen korniychuk. according to the diplomat, in total from

israel and egypt, they received 300, 329 permits for the removal of our citizens. we managed to deliver 250 nine people to safe places, of which 172 citizens are already in ukraine, the rest decided to stay in egypt or go to europe on their own. in the capital of spain, a helicopter fell just on a busy highway a few meters from a bridge that crosses a six-lane road. about this is reported by the reuters agency. the incident happened in madrid, not far from the place where the air fair was taking place. currently reported. of the three victims, according to media, there were two people in the helicopter itself. one was able to get out on her own, and the other was pulled out from under the wreckage by firefighters. a powerful explosion rang out in the russian city of st. petersburg. according to

eyewitnesses, during the fire, a cylinder with chemicals exploded in one of the hangars. according to preliminary data, one person was injured. they also work there at the scene. mmnsniki, they assigned a high threat level to the event. the usa handed over two powerful autotransformers to ukraine, ukrenergo thanked its partners and noted that the new equipment will work in the ukrainian network and improve the reliability of electricity supply to consumers in winter. mrs. bridget brink, the us ambassador to ukraine , promised to continue to support the system of ukraine while russia is hitting it with missiles and drones, i will note that the us will allocate 25 million dollars for the purchase of equipment necessary for the restoration of energy companies. at this point, i have everything, team

novyn is working on the final issue, i'll see you at 6 p.m., then the war and weapons program with serhiy. don't miss a job. welcome to the espresso channel. today, in our military program, we will talk about how our defense companies develop, test and supply various models to the armed forces and defense forces of ukraine. weapons and military equipment, because the ministry of defense itself, as the main customer, announced that from november 1, rules will apply

that allow the troops to receive new weapons faster, because the ministry of defense canceled, as they say, certain excessive tests of weapons that are not related to confirmation of their combat capability, reduced a certain number of checks at various stages of production, simplified requirements for the supply of weapons and equipment to the troops, what is all this for affects how it works in practice, whether it has become easier for manufacturers in the new conditions, we will try to detail all this in conversations with representatives and managers of a number of defense industrial companies and enterprises. my name is serhii sgurets, i am the director information consulting company defense express, which, together with the espresso channel , strives to highlight the most relevant trends in the life of our defense industrial companies and the armed forces in general. and now the first guest joins us. we have bohdan petriv in contact, he is the acting chief designer of

the ukrainian armored vehicles company. mr. bohdan, i welcome you to the espresso channel. good afternoon, thank you for the invitation. and i'd like you to tell me first, just how these, relatively speaking, relaxed test procedures affect what is currently happening in your company, because i know that now your new model of equipment, the new novator machine , is undergoing state tests. usually such state tests, it was such a top challenge for the developers, and of course it was also important for the customer, so what is happening now with your engine room, what is being tested in practice compared to the past, what are the interim results? well, i would like to start with that, and also these firing tests, yes, we have already passed passability, passability, dynamism, economy, checked, the sample showed itself very well, even a little better. than we planned, we got again a maximum speed of 135 km/h, which is a very high

indicator for a machine that has increased its mass and carries 10 soldiers, on which module 12 is installed, well, with a 12.7 saw gun, that is, these are good indicators, we increased, changed the suspension, improved it and got good results in terms of cross-country ability, checked rolls, approach angles, everything meets the requirements, we are now conducting shooting tests, they happened this week, we tested one of the two modules that we use on this sample, uh, so far everything meets our expectations, and hopefully next week we will finish these tests, prepare, all documents, acts and protocols, will provide the ministry of defense and the ministry of defense will have no further questions, they will have enough of this volume of documents in order to make a ... decision and allow this sample to be put into operation, now this will mean

that after they accept these documents, this will mean that the ministry of defense and other law enforcement agencies can, in principle , order this machine right now, and in this way you will be able to form a package of orders and download your enterprise in a certain way, this is how it looks, that's how, we hope that it will be possible for the ministry of defense to check these all results by december 20, so that from january 1 we have already concluded a contract and were able to manufacture this modification of the car as planned for the next year. mr. bohdan, you mentioned that shooting tests are also taking place, i.e the characteristics of this module of yours are actually being checked, which, as i understand it, is an original development that is aimed at having certain, let’s say, weight and size indicators and a certain firepower, what kind of module it is, what weapons it can be equipped with, what are the general technical character well, look, we are currently using two modules, one module is in joint

development with our partner, we have already used it on the five-seat version, now we have made some improvements with the results of operation and we want to present it in the best possible option, so that there are no more questions, there are some small flaws and nuances to be worked out, this is a unified module that allows you to use all machine guns of 12.7 caliber and dshk, and nsvt and brawning, and also allows you to install on your ags base, and it will be possible to do it, we haven’t done it yet with mk, if we take samples, well, combat ones, well, it allows you to fire at 360°, at angles of 75° at a height of -10, that is, it gives a full range of work, well, the technical, well, combat characteristics depend after all on the helicopter, which we are

we receive, browning is one thing, dshk is a little different, we also present a foreign... module, which we have also already supplied to our armed forces, we want to test it also in combat work on this particular machine, in this particular layout, or it will not affect any dynamic characteristics of the arrivals and how it will lead the shooters, the target will be held and how it all happens, you can shoot from the move, you can’t, what speeds are needed for this shooting, right now we are carrying out these works, well, we hope that they will positive results and we will be able to deliver these samples immediately to the troops, so that the troops do not have time for preparation, rearrangement, that 's what we will do, they installed, left and work as quickly as possible, mr. bohdan, and who will potentially be the first users in your new innovator, what units are there, what kind of troops are there? eh,

well, we hope that everyone will join, but honestly, knowing... and working, having experience working with customers, i think that after all it will be the national guard of ukraine, they are the most flexible, the fastest, perceive new equipment, so i think we will supply the first samples to the national guard of ukraine after all, they already have experience working with our modules and with our five-seater cars, they take an active part in tests, representatives of various parts were coming in for testing, uh, testing , and being in the car, and checking its specs, so i think the national guard will be the first to order, and we 're hoping for a pretty, pretty big batch so that we could supply them with a large number of cars there during the year, but is your company planning to, or is there a request from the military, to equip such cars with means of combating fpv drones there, that is, with these

reb kits that make it impossible for the enemy to target them fpv drones. with certain machines, well, let's say this, we are often approached by military personnel from the combat zone with such questions, frankly, this is not our profile, but we always follow the new developments that are available in ukraine, there are several options of good doll raps , we, we are currently cooperating with the company kwertus, from kyiv, we hope that they will get a good sample and we will be able to install it on our car, we will offer such a solution based on the results of the tests and hope that the armed forces will take directly from the factory, so that it does not happen some kind of work in the field, when our military is forced to separately get a car, separately get some rap and then figure out how to install it better or

worse, but so far we have not realized these dome rebs on their zaskas. you said that, if all goes well, all goes well, then you plan to deliver a significant number of these machines next year, to potential users, does that mean you've already planned for sure, or maybe you've even made the purchase of individual components that really then speed up the assembly of this car? well , look, there are two components here, the first is that we have been working on the market for a long time and we have developed cooperation on these issues. and we previously with all companies, understanding that we have a sample already at the final stage, we have worked out these issues, prepared and are trying to get a quick delivery, but there are certain bureaucratic regulations, we cannot, well, when we import the sample, we have to clear it through customs, we have to pay vat and so on further, this is not taken into account when we are charged

with calculation and calculation materials, because there is a benefit that provides... for military equipment, for this we need to get a state contract, so we expect that on january 1 we will receive a state contract, we will be able in in accordance with this state contract , to import a large number of components and then deliver them by weight, so that there are no questions in the calculation, so that the cost of the equipment itself does not increase, well, or so that it is not in the negative of our company, because, well, that is, in fact, when we we are talking about costs, components, when we are talking about procedures, then i understand that these things should probably be taken into account by our authorities, because if the company has the opportunity to purchase in advance, then it is just as likely, well, it should be taken into account optimally, so that later no... the production process slowed down , as i understand it, i think there is some truth here, but the state decided that it simplified the procedure against by introducing these benefits, and

i don't know, this issue is quite complicated, and i'm not sure that i'm right can evaluate it, because maybe then the state will see that some companies can use it improperly, so they don't want to simplify these procedures there even more, although a company like ours, which has experience, we supply a very large number of products, can make some separate list of companies, since it is allocated for the import, export , well, military products, maybe it really simplified, accelerated, and we could use our funds by taking them abroad, without getting any time, understanding that we will buy products, because we also cannot take funds abroad, we have to confirm that we use it right there in the performance of some contract. and mr. bohdan, taking this opportunity, i cannot but ask about an extremely interesting question that has caught the attention of experts and the military, namely that your company, well, announced its readiness with

partners to produce an infantry fighting vehicle for the needs of the armed forces, and then the silence ignited, so it is interesting at what stage we are now, do you expect the ministry of defense to announce a tender, or are there already certain ones, let’s say , well, there are indicators or packages from certain competing companies that are already leading. to the ministry of defense, that is, at what stage is this whole story now? er, let's say this, first of all, we made an offer to the ministry of defense, and it is quite profitable, i would say financially, it is probably the best, well, at least from what we know, but since the publication of the news, there has been a certain, certain opposition from our, i understand it , russian friends, so-called, that is why we would like it not to be strong... in the information space, we are working, we are currently finalizing certain technical issues, in terms of production, we are also working out certain

negotiating positions, i think that we will implement this project and hope that it will happen in the near future, but there are certain delays, there is a lack of need and a fully formed in ministry of defense, but i think that a few of their meetings and this issue will also be resolved, and as soon as we establish cooperation and will do it serially, we will inform you, present samples, invite you for tests, well, it is a long time to wait for sure, i hope that it will be much faster, and that is what is your vision in general, that is, of this bmp, because there are competitive offers from other companies, in your parameters , first of all, are the price parameters, or should we say, we say comprehensively, that there is assembly and an optional one or another machine, it will fully satisfy the needs of armed forces forces eh look, we know the technical requirements for machines

of this type, because we developed our concepts for this, well, bmp, and we understand what the military wants. on the other hand, our solution has two advantages. first of all, it is time , we already have ready-made samples, we have a ready-built system that we can implement as quickly as possible... quickly and deliver products quickly, now speed is a more important factor than money, because time is holding us back, in we have several tens of ready-made units and several tens of units that we can quickly implement and to hand over to the armed forces of ukraine, plus the price is also quite good, and from the point of view of installation and modifications, well, this is already a question of use and must be seen specifically, some units will want to change something, but ukrainian armored vehicles are quite sensitive to such requests, and we

are trying to speed up as much as possible , to unify, to do some things, that is, with machine guns, for example, when we unified the bearing, made it for all types, well, we are like that, we developed certain solutions for the btrm133, they were also unified and allowed to make... several options to install the tower without making any drastic changes. in general , we consider a modular approach to production to be the most correct. we need to make a base, we need to make modules and quickly replace it. this allows you to use a smaller number of basic vehicles, less time for training, and only specialized training on that type of anti-aircraft defense, anti-aircraft defense system, anti-aircraft missile system, anti-tank missile defense system, i.e. approach, we at the innovator use it on everything, but mr. bohdan, and there are no certain, let’s say, reservations from the military, which conditionally saying, we have a bradley there, a marder cv90,

another one will appear there, an infantry fighting vehicle that has not been used in combat there before, is this not a deterrent to making a decision in favor of your proposals? i don't think it's a deterrent because right now the armed forces, the armed forces of ukraine have an incredibly high need, and uh, this large amount of inventory that you mentioned, it's really a problem for the repair units, i think they're holding their heads , plus when planning hostilities, various machines have different characteristics and this must be taken into account by the commanders and this is an additional serious burden on the commanders, because it is necessary to know the tx of the maximum number of cars, samples, but in this case i think that we have no choice, we have to do it, eh, yes, this is a zoo , as some people call it, but we need equipment, we need a lot of equipment, uh , a lot of equipment is not produced in such

and such quantities, uh, general: uzhny last year asked for 600 units of tanks, but we did not receive such a large number at once, because she is simply nowhere, that's why i am i think that diversity does not affect it, speed and money do, well , i will ask a tricky question, you can not answer, is it possible to talk about the fact that your potential in an alliance with a partner there allows you, well, after the decision is made, to put at least 100 bmps there during the year. can this be? yes, it is realistic, it is quite a realistic goal, we planned a little even more, not much, well, somewhere in such areas, well , thank you very much for such an answer, and then we move on to other projects of your company, now the same issue is being discussed the use of various robotic platforms, there the minister of figures spoke about the fact that about five dozen platforms were undergoing

certain, let's say, tests or demonstrations. and i know that your company, at the exhibition of security weapons, literally there before the beginning of the russian invasion, at the navodzi site, showed its robotic platform, which in principle, well, was made in cooperation with foreign partners, the chevalniks there, i don’t know the details for sure , what is the current status of this project, will the company work on it direction, well, we actually presented such a project, uh, it’s more the development of our foreign partners, we simply presented it on our market with certain refinements of ours already with understanding, now we gave this sample to the armed forces and it works at the front, we collect information about how it is used because the approaches to robotic platforms are very different, ee different departments see them differently, the requirements for them are different, so i think

min numbers... names a huge number of robotic platforms because sometimes all they are called robotic platforms, but each has its own purpose, its own function and they are different, it is even difficult to compare them, which one is for what and on what basis, to make some basic one, well, as far as i know, it has not been possible yet, we want to gather experience that our military will have, and on the basis of this experience already communicating with partners, we will either finish the samples here on the spot, or we will ask... that our partners develop it, well, produce it in-house and supply even then batches that will be ready to buy the military , which will help them fulfill their task, mr. bohdan, as i understand it, this platform, which has been handed over to the military, is amphibious, that is, it can actually move on water, and it, as i understand it, already has a control channel for this machine room completed there, and maybe even from the adaptation of those or other types of weapons, or without weapons yet?
