the central committee has an order to fill various units as much as possible and they are simply sent to the most in-demand units, well, let it be a dry road, cheap, then according to the final principle there can be a force of territorial defense, and accordingly, well, other units, and here i am i agree that this is exactly what needs to be changed, in addition to the electronic circulation of documents, which would make it possible to understand where and how. how come who we have and did not do this stupid paper work, several times people were not called and did not brought these summons to them, and secondly, it is true that those people who have civilian specialties should take this into account when mobilizing them to the armed forces of ukraine, because thanks to these specialties, they can improve the work of the armed forces many times over in one direction or another. thank you very much for from my experience, sorry, you still asked, from my experience, in our unit, well, since we went as well.
12:31 am
there were a lot of servicemen who now most likely would not have passed the vlk, but there were, for example, guys whose vision in one eye was almost at zero, but when that's what they performed, perform their duties, in particular, they are also reconnaissance pilots, before that they were infantrymen, a rifle company, we were in a rifle company, so here probably a lot depends on the people themselves. and for this desire and desire, thank you very much, mr. vadym, vadym vasylchuk, an officer of the armed forces of ukraine, a deputy of the kyiv city council, was in touch with us, well, we discussed a few questions about mobilization, we will take this topic into conversation, because here it should be all again with the greatest efficiency for the front, let's say so. serhiy zugrach, director of the defense express agency, presenter of the military summaries of the day column. sergey, i congratulate you, vasyl, i congratulate our viewers. today, i read from the soldiers of the svoboda battalion commander, and... specifically
12:32 am
, the situation in the avdiiv direction is not easy there, but they say that if there were more shells and drones, the situation could now be somewhat balanced in view of the enemy assaults. how difficult this problem is, why can't it be fixed somehow in the near future, because it is a critical, well, not critical, but difficult situation right there now, well, when we talk about artillery and drones, this actually has been repeated many times in various directions, in any case, there is hope that our defense industry will still increase the benefit. well, as for artillery ammunition, this is a more complex and lengthy topic. well, further on in one of our columns, today we will talk about the fact that new joint weapons projects with western companies are announced in kyiv, about the situation in certain areas of the front in a conversation with our soldiers, and whether they can and will fight for ukraine foreign private military companies? more on that in a moment.
12:33 am
ukraine is increasing the production of weapons through joint work with western companies, the secretary of the national security and defense council, oleksiy danilov, announced this today . danilov did not provide any specifics regarding the nomenclature of such weapons here either... it must be understood that joint production with the countries of the alliance may also mean that ukrainian companies have started manufacturing military equipment on the territory of the eu countries to protect against russian missile strikes, this in particular concerns the production of ammunition, the production of drones, as well as individual samples of armored vehicles. as for the projects of joint production of weapons in ukraine, among the officially known... projects
12:34 am
, these are primarily air defense projects within the framework of the frankens initiative, this is actually the modernization of our air defense systems for western missiles, for this the usa transferred technologies for the modernization of our zrk buk. there are also agreements with the german company rain metal with promises to start production of the fuchs armored personnel carrier in ukraine, and then the links bmp, the opening of a german center in ukraine. quantum system company in order to localize the vector uav production, which we just saw on our screen, the british company baysystem promised to create m37 howitzer repair centers in ukraine. and in the same context , just today, by the way, a statement was made by the ukrainian company ukrainian armored vehicles that the possibility of production of bmp askod in ukraine is being discussed. this development. belongs to the european
12:35 am
branch of the american company general dynamics, to begin with there should be a purchase of a test batch, and then negotiations will begin. on the localization of production. a competitor in this segment is the swedish bmp cv-90, but its production in ukraine is not being considered yet, said the director of ukrainian armored vehicles vladyslav belbas. in general, there is a positive trend in this, but its impact on the improvement of the situation on the battlefield, on the effectiveness of the use of the ukrainian army can be determined only after how will actual deliveries of certain samples take place. of military equipment announced today by our officials and manufacturers of military equipment. and then about weapons and what is happening in certain areas of the front line, where these weapons are desperately needed, in particular, we will talk about the situation around bakhmut, where the number of
12:36 am
combat encounters has increased, where the enemy is increasing its forces in order to suppress our units, military part and about what is currently happening in this area, we will talk with our guest. joins us. oleksiy tarasenko, deputy commander of the fifth separate assault brigade. mr. oleksiy, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you. i wish you health, good evening. good evening. it is known that in recent days the enemy is almost constantly attacking klishchiivka, trying to break through just to the heights from the north of klishchiivka. this is what is happening now on this part of the front, because, as i understand it, your brigade, in front of it , and krishchevka, is there on the left. just the road from ivanivsky devorog is also trying to advance, that's exactly what is happening, because i know that the situation is extremely difficult , that's how you named the two most , let's say, intensive directions, where really now there are the most problems, the most combat clashes
12:37 am
with the enemy, precisely in our brigade, i can say that this situation has been ongoing for almost a month now. ..tionary attempts of the enemy to break through in this direction, in particular, they are interested in the unconditional highway in the direction of ivanovsky, as well as klishchiivka itself, or rather what is left of it. currently, in the last few days, we have seen a slight decline in the offensive potential of the enemy, this is probably due to the heavy losses of the enemy and the lack of control of his shock units. and it is possible that the enemy is accumulating reserves now in order to continue their operation, but for now, for now, we see that a little stabilization has taken place, at least in the area of ​​the fifth brigade. oleksiy, the generals,
12:38 am
in particular general tarnavskyi, spoke about the fact that in view of the restrictions on the supply of ammunition, there is a reformatting of certain combat operations into certain ones. areas of the front, but when they talk about your brigade, comrades and the brigades standing next to them, they say that the fifth assault brigade does not run out of ammunition and that your artillery even helps the other brigades, explain why such a paradox occurs precisely with your art unit and its capabilities constantly using ammunition, well, i think it's a typical situation with... the fact that everyone thinks that the neighbor has much more ammunition than he does, and starts, as it were, complaining to his immediate commanders, pointing to neighboring units, the situation is the same as far as to me it is known
12:39 am
that the distribution of the operational-tactical grouping is uniform, uniformly small, let's say this way, that is, everyone has a severe shortage of ammunition for the main types of weapons, but when... it concerns the fact that somewhere the enemy has success with a neighbor on the flank, then in the brigade they never refuse help, and on the contrary, there the last last reserves fire at the enemy’s assault groups in order to ensure overall success in this area, if no one here pursues their personal interests, everyone works for a common result, and i don’t i don't get tired of mentioning... the artillerymen, both brigade and mortar batteries of the battalions that are there. now we are resuming communication, i will remind you that this is oleksiy tarasenko, he is the deputy commander of the fifth separate assault brigade, now the communication has been reestablished.
12:40 am
oleksiy, please continue. excuse me, our gunners use ammunition very effectively, and in principle, almost... almost, almost every fire mission, it is presented in one of those videos that you are broadcasting now, there is something to show to the neighbors and, if it were, to the community. hey oleksiy, here's your team has been on this very difficult route for a long time, you have seen everything, you have seen both the attacks of the wagnerites and the kadyrovites there , that now, from the point of view of the enemy's tactics , will something change in it, or is it the same as before, conditionally they say, or everything after all, the bet on manpower again returned to this scheme, which at one time was implemented by the wagnerites, definitely a bet on manpower, because and... the only reason in principle for the success of the enemy is a sufficient number of infantrymen, which they can
12:41 am
throw into the battle, those who are before them there is a fresh replenishment, they immediately put them into battle without thinking for a long time, the groups in number of people were reduced to literally two , three, four people in order to avoid being impressed by our artillery in order to somehow disperse the personnel. and here are these super small groups, even smaller than the wagnerites worked in the winter, ah, this year, they are trying to advance, trying to jump from house to house, and usually where you can just give them a fight, they are not able to advance , they are successful where for some reason... a position is not occupied, where there is a house that is not occupied by our troops, that is, in principle, where
12:42 am
our units are fighting a normal shooting battle, the enemy is not successful. oleksii , what is the weather like now, because a couple of days ago there was fog and wind there, it made it difficult to use drones there, it affected the use of so, as a result, the effectiveness of the use of our artillery, what is the weather now, what can you do there. can be? the weather changes every day, such a period, in principle, is constantly either fog, or rain, or frost, all this greatly hinders aerial reconnaissance, and therefore, unfortunately, there is a period there, the whole night, we can not raise a single reconnaissance drone into the air, the enemy works the same way with this, with this weather, so everyone is on equal terms, however , of course , these changes in the weather make it extremely difficult to conduct air reconnaissance, which is now
12:43 am
the basis, both in principle of warning about assault actions, plus or minus early, and adjusting artillery fire. oleksiy, how many infantrymen are usually on the front lines now, because now the weather has worsened, are there cases of frostbite there, how is the medical support set up in these difficult conditions, no. there was no fact of birth, however, of course, it is very difficult for the boys now, due to difficulties with transport, in such weather , people are in positions, well, we try for three days, sometimes more, four, sometimes five, definitely some point is made warm-up, where people have the opportunity to rest a little, warm up, drink something hot and then stand for... observation or directly to the firing position, but if the job of an infantryman,
12:44 am
it is always the most difficult, and nothing has changed there in the last 100 years at all, well, then the work of a thief is connected with the fact that it must be reliable, or what is the fortification, is there an opportunity now in these difficult conditions to engage in improvement protective structures, or under shelling, it is extremely difficult to do now. of course it is extremely difficult, of course it is extremely difficult, people are constantly reporting that the enemy conducts aerial reconnaissance, makes drops from drones, if there is any movement during the day, it will be extremely difficult, that is, everyone fortification takes place either at night or very limitedly under camouflage nets under some dilapidated buildings. any materials that can be found in the destroyed villages nearby, let's say, people on the ground
12:45 am
invent any methods in order to dig an additional, additional trench, create an additional dugout, this is extremely important, and now, in principle, the main efforts are abandoned on this, however, if those lines of defense, cutting positions, which were created earlier, they are now very helpful. and oleksiy, last question, i would like to update the assessment situation with mobilization from the front line where you are, i think that your brigade, like other brigades, will rub off. and strengthening and replenishment, however, the rate of arrival of replenishment is less than what i need, what would you advise our citizens in the perception of the war, how should they react to what is happening on the front line in the context of mobilization? well, we need to take off our rose-colored glasses and remember that
12:46 am
the fact that we knocked out the enemy from kiev does not mean that... he cannot return there if there is a similar situation and everything will be to reach some kind of critical limit, and people who have been fighting non-stop for a year and a half, they are morally, psychologically, and i am not talking about physically, capable of constantly charging such a load every day, and they are demanded, demanded, as if they had just arrived, so if there is no help with fresh... replenishment, with high-quality replenishment, such as it was at the beginning of the war, then the situation will simply grow into a much more deplorable one, and then it will not be possible to simply wait for the end of the war in kyiv, so if we do not act now for common cause any steps, then you can only wait
12:47 am
for the enemy at home, mr. oleksiy, well, thank you for what you and your comrades are doing... for our protection and our viewers, i will remind you that it was oleksiy tarasenko, the deputy commander of the fifth separate assault unit of the brigade, which is currently operating precisely in the klishchiivka area, restraining the enemy's onslaught. and then about the ways to increase the combat capability of our units, we can talk about mobilization, about recruiting, are there other versions in order to... go variations of increasing our combat capability, we will continue to talk about private military companies , about their experience, because we know that in the same american army, private companies sometimes perform a much more difficult task than the american army itself, is this experience something that ukraine should pay attention to, and now
12:48 am
to andriy kypkalo joins us, he is the founder and head of the private military company omega. group, mr. andriy, i congratulate you, glad to see and hear. congratulations, mr. serhiy. you have significant experience of cooperation with foreign private companies, you worked in iraq with the americans. you have experience in creating a domestic private military company. and against this background, i would like to ask a rather unusual question, whether we have the opportunity to invite or conclude contracts. with private military companies of other countries to perform tasks on the territory of ukraine, are there mechanisms for this? the question is quite interesting, yes , the mechanisms exist, but i would divide my answer into three parts: first, why
12:49 am
should we involve foreign private military companies, if we have private ones in ukraine military companies already exist... well, they are not some small organizations, these private military companies that have experience both working abroad and on the territory of ukraine, that is, why should we turn to foreign private military for help at the moment companies, there are a lot of issues here, even the issue of financing, because if we pay for the services of foreign private military companies, they will not pay taxes in ukraine, and for... their salary , to put it bluntly, they will spend it not in ukraine to ukraine, i.e. certain sums , quite large sums of money go out of ukraine, if you contact a ukrainian private military company, then at least it will pay taxes in ukraine, and this is firstly, secondly, uh,
12:50 am
it is quite strange when you are not the first person to raise this issue, it is quite strange when we on the one hand... say let's invite foreign private military companies to work in ukraine, but as soon as we start talking about the work of ukrainian private military companies, immediately at one voice, all experts say no, because private military companies are prohibited in ukraine, of course, no one can specify by which law, but all experts say no, we cannot use private military companies, because they are prohibited in our country by some law. that is, it turns out that on the one hand, if we are talking about foreign companies, i don't want to call them military anymore, then cooperation is assumed, and as soon as we talk about some kind of cooperation. with a ukrainian company, then we are immediately banned, and thirdly, foreign companies already work and have worked in ukraine
12:51 am
private military companies, and we already have some experience, i will not name which company, i will not name the name, but an american private military company worked in ukraine for a year, they are registered in the united states, in the united states of america, i checked and registered they. not as a private military company, but as a comrade, a limited liability company, which in principle should be so, but this private military company worked in ukraine for a certain time, about 12 months, they opened a charity fund, collected, if i'm not mistaken, a million dollars, and after that they left ukraine, because there they said that there were not enough funds for it for salaries, that is, i understand that... a private military company entered ukraine, put quite a good salary, and it was not bad, and after 12 months there it turned out that the salary was very
12:52 am
good, but there was not enough money for the operation itself in the territory of ukraine, for which they came to us, they packed their things and left of ukraine, here is such a rather dubious experience of using foreign ones private military companies, i'm not saying that all... companies are the same, but i 'm just giving you one example, that is, a foreign company, as soon as the money ran out, it left, and ukrainian companies, they are here, but they are somehow banned, and , for example, the ministry of defense of ukraine does not see a mechanism through which cooperation can be carried out, well, mr. andriy, these are private companies, they are not sitting there somewhere in the basement, private companies are specific people, they are either mobilized, or they... in the troops, or they are in ground defense, or they are waiting for mobilization, when we are talking about private ukrainian military companies, then, in which space do they
12:53 am
exist, you as the head of the company, we are the city, we can put such and such a number of personnel there to strengthen the front line or carry out special tasks , and then in fact you become responsible for some mission there due to the delegation of these powers from the main intelligence management there or another structure, so it should look like and how in reality? this is how it should look, we had it two or three months ago, maybe four approximately 20 thousand people, 20 thousand volunteers, who agreed to come to ukraine and thus strengthen our military group. i offered this proposal to some law enforcement agencies, but they refused me, without explaining it in great detail, on what grounds, etc., they simply said that this... well, this kind of proposal is not accepted, period, and these were just relations with certain power structures
12:54 am
of ukraine, that is, american companies can come, you can pay money, it is impossible to do this work in your company, because there is a ban, and this ban is in words rather than on paper, well, it turns out that it is, that is, we can work with foreigners. for some reason, military companies, but as soon as a ukrainian private military company enters here, cooperation is immediately not expected, i understand that people are frightened by this abbreviation, private military company, but i want to remind you that we do not have practice in ukraine, where private military companies were trying to commit some mutiny there or eliminate try to eliminate in... the government or something else, because this is exactly what scares people, that is, if we recall, for example, the events of 14th year, civilians were not shot at by employees
12:55 am
of private military companies, but by representatives of security forces, that is, i do not understand why some people, some representatives, some representatives of the government, not all, but this abbreviation itself, a private military company, is so frightening, that is, they are afraid that... they will lose the monopoly on the use of force or something, they have already lost this monopoly a little first in the 14th year, and then they lost a little more in the 22nd year, well, nothing happened, no one removed any power. mr. andriy, thank you very much for these explanations, i hope that our leaders will hear us make some kind of correction in the attitude towards private companies, and we politicians, the military will make it. and i will remind our viewers that it was andriy kepkalo, the founder and head of a private military company. omega consulting groups. these were the main conclusions of our military column, then stay with vasyl zimi's great broadcast.
12:56 am
good evening, we are from ukraine. thank you to serhiy zgurets, thank you to his guests, these were the military results of the day, the second hour of the big broadcast is ahead, a lot of interesting things await you, and we will hear yuri fizer, who will tell what kind of attack happened in prague, there are killed and wounded, unknown, shot at charles university in prague and a lot of other information, money during the war, culture with lena checheina. also the weather from natalka didenko. let's start with the most important news as of this hour. the russians dropped four aerial bombs on coal plants in toretsk in donetsk region. unfortunately, three people died, five more were seriously injured. this was announced by the head of the regional military administration igor moros. at the time of the strike , 32 miners were underground, and they were promptly rescued by rescuers. as a result of the shelling, the enterprise was completely de-energized, as well as the administrative buildings and equipment were damaged.

12:59 am
of our state. roman ignatov denied the information that he has russian citizenship. back in june 23, the security service of ukraine reported the presence of a russian passport to the head of the higher qualification commission of judges of ukraine. ignatov said that he really studied and worked in russia, but he only had a passport of a citizen of the ussr, which he received at the age of 16. instead, he emphasized that since that time he had passed many checks before being appointed to work in the prosecutor's office and courts. well, those inspections did not reveal anything, the sbu discovered something, we will. wait for the continuation of this story, if i had the citizenship of the russian federation, please show me, i would like a passport, a photo, a photocopy of the passport, a photocopy of the form one, at least show something, but nothing at all there is no journalists get access to the sidelines of the verkhovna rada of ukraine in order to communicate directly with legislators and
