a series of conversations with ukrainian and western intellectuals, who interpret and comment on the most relevant social discussions, what news will be analyzed by the guests of the project this week and, in fact, who will be the guest of the studio , we will find out already this sunday, the topics will definitely be relevant, the guests will be special, their own names from myroslava barchuk, sunday 17:10 at espresso.

we continue our military program, we will talk about protection technologies for our soldiers, about body armor and helmets, how the war affected... changing their design and construction for their production in ukraine and whether it is possible to make sure that our soldiers have the best body armor and in general, where is the line between the best, normal and bad body armor. and now we will talk about this topic with our next guest, we are joined by serhiy minyaluk, he is the founder and head of the well-known khmelnytskyi company welmet, which produces means of personal protection, which are in demand and respected by our military. mr. serhiy, i congratulate you.

glad to see and hear, first of all i want to express my thanks to the military men, boys and girls who give you and i the opportunity to talk now and promise that we will continue to help them, develop and try to make those products that will better save them life and health, well, this is an absolutely correct remark, because due to the fact that we are in the rear, everyone does what is necessary for the front, but still on the front line there is much it is more difficult, the risks are concentrated there and each of us must remember this, and i would like to ask you as a professional whether our war with the russian aggressor is so unique that it creates some new demands and specifics to personal protective equipment, whether it's safety vests or helmets, are there any unique things that influence the formation of new requirements? look, everything that... was in the world before this, well

, let's take the last decades, yes, that is, such threats that we have in this war in the world there was no plus or minus, because... all the standards , even if we will implement them conditionally with the usa, from europe, it is necessary to understand that their armies did not take part in an armed conflict of such a level, such intensity, with such threats with so much use of artillery and other means of destruction, well, even to the example of the same resets that were not used before, that is, in my opinion, everything to... this needs to be adapted to what we have now, so that it was effective, well, that is, in fact, we have to form now the requirements for protective equipment, which are quite unique and not comparable to those

used in the armies of other countries, and then i have a question that, it seems, in the summer of this year, the ministry of defense announced what it accepted for provision. new body armor and helmets and, as i understand it, on the basis of new requirements for protective equipment, when these requirements for body armor were developed in ukraine, what was the basis for following the best examples of foreign developers, technological limitations, cost of body armor, what indicators were the basis to those requirements, according to which the ministry of defense is now buying body armor there. look, well, i will be moderate in criticism here in order not to stir up any bad emotions, i will simply say that in my opinion that document is not entirely professional and it is not based on the technological capabilities of manufacturers in ukraine, no on the availability

of raw materials, nor on the analysis of the challenges and threats that existed, that is, well, this work, you know, it should have been done in a different way. it had to be based on the mobilization fund, they had to understand who should use who will use that armor under what conditions , and the main thing is that it should provide real protection , i will tell you a simple story, i criticized that document very much, and i did not take part in the experimental reproductions of that product that was specified in that document, no i was at a meeting at the ministry of defense and tried to convey those thoughts, but they sent me... we have a conditional product for the size m, for example, a guy like me, who will weigh 13.5 kg of the bulletproof vest there. we add another helmet and a half there, we add more weapons, we add bc, we add something else, we

get 37 kg, and here we take a conditionally mobilized person without physical training there for several years, put on 37 kg and try to set a task for him to fulfill. and in my opinion , it will be very difficult for an unprepared person to perform any task in and with such a weight, accordingly, the goal that we set before ourselves when developing a document such as providing protection for a serviceman, we did not fulfill, we fulfilled it only in terms of what we can visit up and say: we bought, we developed, we can say about it, no more than that, and there is no effectiveness, well, effectiveness of using this task, because in fact we have given protection to a person, which will not help him, accordingly... we exposed to danger and in my opinion this is a crime, that is, it is a crime , because it directly affects the defense capability of the country, we wrote letters to the national security council, to zaluzhny, to the president, throughout this story we wrote that there is a critical problem, please pay attention, well, let's say this,

a little unsuccessfully, but it is necessary to speak, it needs to be changed, because this is precisely what affects the achievement of victory and her. and the price, if we do not try to use some, well, to introduce innovations, to introduce bypassing our enemy not on a direct road, where, let's say, we will not extract it by the resource, but by some other ways there, well, that is, the price of victory will be very high for us and it will be sergey, i 'm melting, i'm just trying to calculate the weight of the body armor, relatively speaking, somewhere within 12 kg body armor, helmet about 2 kg. 37 kg, where does it come from, see we have weapons, we have the number of bulls , we have grenades, well, that is, we have to carry other means of destruction with us, and that’s all rps, well, like an unloading system, that ’s all, well, in principle, i

calculate this whole story about , it will be in the type with a fully loaded backpack, some kind of property, that is, we are talking about moving to a position, we are conducting some kind of marching. of history, that is, this weight will be gained there, that is, we even provided a letter to e-e provided a letter to the development center of the ministry's support defense against military units, where the military themselves... wrote from the experience of combat operations that it will be very difficult for us to perform combat tasks and it is written there in this letter, by the way, where does this weight come from, it will be very difficult for us to use it to perform these combat tasks, we need the weight of the bulletproof vest to be a maximum of 8 kg, that is, that is why these 4 kg actually are, well, they matter, that is, if you take the weight, well, there is one spare magazine for cartridges, i don’t remember exactly, let it be... 300 g , that is, imagine as much as you can take cartridges with you to save money on body armor, although you need

to look at the structure to see if all the elements and the entire structure that adds weight and adds value really work, that is, the document is incomplete in my opinion and now, by the way, another document has appeared, a modular body armor and it differs from a non-modular one, but a light one, it differs from a modular body armor only in that it does not have the protrusions that i criticized under the armor plate, everything else remained the same, and in my opinion, it is not at all. would have the right to live in these conditions that exist, and in principle, the structure itself, if we do not reform and change it, it will not lead to anything good, that is, i think that the lack of personnel hunger, the lack of professional people, well, in any direction, that is, let’s analyze purchases for transparently the last, that the technical requirements that are written there are also happening, it's just that the back is getting cold, that is, there is a lack of personnel in the people who make decisions and a plus in the system of people who make decisions. even just a bulletproof vest and the most basic lack of responsibility for these decisions, i.e. reprimand responsibility is zero, you can

make any decisions and recognize any means of protection as appropriate, but it has consequences, it has consequences in the healthy lives of people, as i understand it, we should strive for the birth vest to weigh us within 8 kg, as it weighs there the best american body armor, for this we need to definitely switch to ceramic plates that weigh less than... it provides a higher level of protection efficiency and prepare body armor for the specifics of use in certain types and types of troops, taking into account all these nuances, that’s how it is looks like well, in principle, yes, but now you understand, right now there is no such clear distribution there, that is , special forces, not special forces, it is the intensity of hostilities, the conditions in which they are used, they... well, that is, such special

there are no special requirements for means of protection, it is clear that if a person will stand somewhere conditionally in the rear at a checkpoint, then there may be other protection, if we are talking specifically about combat operations, then weight is important, and convenience is also important, because weight gives mobility, with intensity of shelling, you can be banned from the bottom to the head , by the way, we have such suits where you can ban completely, i.e. a person up to 97% of the body, but it loses its mobility, that is, it becomes , it cannot hide, that is, not only the design itself, weight is needed, there must be convenience, weight to ensure mobility, this will increase the survivability of the personnel, it will reduce losses, well, plus , you need to have a system analysis, here i am now i will ask this question, i wonder if there is such a document that would make statistics. injuries or deaths of servicemen for the start of a full-scale invasion,

this was the main document that should have led to the appearance of other documents in the form of technical conditions for the withdrawal of body armor or something else, that is, close communication with servicemen, those who perform combat task, because we have a big gulf between the kyiv cabinet and, as i said last time, conditionally, military personnel in the khmelnytskyi garrison or in any other, that is, and it should not be this one, so what do the guys say, what they need, they need to be given it, and then they will have the first, but the opportunity to effectively perform combat tasks, well and the second will be no less possible, there will be an understanding that they are cared for and heard , that is, what if a boy with an injured back from the 14th year receives a bulletproof vest weighing 13 kg, and he understands that there is nothing in it, he cannot perform combat tasks, puts it in the closet and goes from the salary, buys himself from such guys, how do i have what he needs , or do other guys have it, it's the emotional component, well, a person thinks, well, that's how it works, and now i have to go to viko, it shouldn't be like that, that is, we have

it like this, i'm just sergey, i know that your body armor is really in demand among the military and they want to buy your body armor because they are lighter, they provide the necessary level of protection, but the ministry of defense your he hasn't been buying protective vests for some time precisely because it is certain that it is not they do not meet the new requirements that have been introduced. by the standards of the ministry of defense, does it look like this? no, it looks like the ministry of defense never actually purchased my body armor. i have 32, in my opinion, products that we handed over and developed. the technical conditions were presented to the ministry of defense, they were for special operations forces, everything that is available on the website of the ministry of defense, almost all of which are written tip c is a type of special property, there is a type of equipment, system unloading, clothing, we donated it for the ministry of defense, just for the special operations forces, and besides the fact that it was donated, it was almost never, well, it was never purchased on a large scale, massively by the ministry of defense, due to the fact that at some

points we they didn’t want to take part in... these are all bureaucratic stories, they were incomprehensible to me, and well, in principle, i will probably never take part in them in the future, and everything that is purchased belongs to me, it is purchased by the boys for their own cost, or somewhere with charities, or somewhere in rare cases by military units, when the commander understands that this is exactly what he needs and he has the opportunity to carry out this procurement quickly there, i will tell you the issue is not that there are any moments in the ministry itself , but the main issue is that that this elevator is missing, for example , i have developed something effective, for example, there is some armored element that will critically help us in this war, yes, i simply do not have a mechanism to put it on the flow and for the state i bought it for the boys to they didn't buy it with their own money, this mechanism doesn't exist at the moment, maybe it will appear later, there is a bureau of public procurement,

there is another story or office, i don't know how everything will be there, everything is declared there, but... . at the moment, for example, i have a very good armored element, but it could save someone's life and health, but i can't, but i can't even imagine for myself what kind of mechanism would be transparent, i say transparent, so that i could come, offer and, when you communicate with someone, so that you are not looked at, as my late grandmother used to say, like a ram for a new gate, but for you to speak, say, this is really necessary, this is such a weight, this is such a story, well , i don't have such a mechanism now, not only i have, i don't have all the products. i think that there are no manufacturers, such a mechanism , manufacturers of drones, there is no such mechanism of manufacturers of other equipment, it’s all as if, well, we still live with some supply moments, and on the side we have an enemy, too, with landing moments, but we now critically need to develop a system where these are all initiatives, if it is really useful, can really help them find their

implementation, because in fact we will work for victory, create something new that will speed up this victory and reduce losses. will reduce its price, mr. serhii, in fact, i still have a lot of questions for the next conversations with you, i will remind our viewers that it was serhiy minnyaluk, the founder and head of the well-known company velmet, which supplies our military with high-quality and competitive body armor, we hope that about the problems he was saying, having that kind of lift to promote the work that really helps. to soldiers on the battlefield, such elevators will be created due to changes in the approaches of the ministry of defense to work with our private companies, we really hope for this, so i think that we have drawn conclusions from the fact that we have a significant potential in our companies, the question is how to scale it, to ensure the effect of synergy between the developers, the military and the customers themselves, so this is an extremely important

trend, and i think that it will happen, it will to be realized in a positive direction, so stay tuned to the espresso channel, there will be a lot of interesting news and information, there are 10% discounts on lisoba in pharmacies, plantain for you and savings. the traveler knows what helps. good evening. volunteer christmas at espresso. christmas carols known from childhood and completely new author's carols performed by sofia fedyna. and also the stories of people who devoted themselves to the defense of the country. as a volunteer at first, i went around helping the boys, got to know the boys differently, and somehow everything started to spin. experience the christmas miracle, experience it the power of unity of caring people.

will be relevant, the guests will be special, their own names with myroslava barchuk, sunday 1710 at espresso.

see this week in the collaborators program, dealers of propaganda in the occupied territories, the shackles of nazi ukraine are being removed from us. but how did the former ukrainian photo artist become a fan of wagner? huge thanks to dude wagner, to the armed forces of the russian federation. greetings, i'm olena kononenko and this is the collaborante program about traitors who, following the call of their hearts and wallets, went to serve the rashi occupiers. we have already prepared for you a new list of sellers who blindly and loyally serve the kremlin. in previous issues, i told you about the propaganda tv channel tavria, which was created. when occupied kherson. but, as it turned out, this was not the only media platform intended for zombification of the population.

the kherson regional channel vtvplyus was also engaged in the washing of miskiv on the captured territories. it was created in 1996 by a certain tatyana kamenskaya. she appointed herself as the general director, editor-in-chief and anchor of trk, her own son vitaly as the director. on february 9, 2006, the first newsletter was published. program since then, the channel began to develop, special broadcasts, exclusive interviews, new ukrainian-language programs, the project it is multi-component, it is very, very extended, in it, if we say so, that on the one hand it is a television project, on the other hand, it is an educational project. this channel was considered the oldest in the city, and when kherson was occupied, the management of the trc cooperated with the local pro-russian administration. at first it was not very open, it all started in april. gauleiter volodymyr saldo, who was positioned as a legitimate representative of the legitimate authorities, began to be invited to broadcast on vtvplus. then they launched a series of programs, it is important and as kherson region

will live on with the participation of the traitor saldo. there is a leader who accepts the rules by which we now live, where he agrees with the fact that we are already and will always be a one hundred percent integral part. and since may 9, 2022 , the channel has completely become a zombie. screensavers and programs were replaced with russian. in addition, vtv plus frantically promoted a fake referendum and the region's accession to the russian federation.

took place with the personal consent of the general director tetyana kamenska, and our law enforcement agencies proved it. what is known about kamensky, apart from the fact that she managed the channel, is not much. in 2018, she received the honorary title of honored journalist of ukraine from the then head of the kherson regional state administration, andrii gordeev, for her significant personal contribution to the development of television, radio broadcasting and communications in ukraine. many years of conscientious work for a high professional level. later in the local elections in 2020, kamenska decided to try herself in politics, ran for the kherson city and regional councils from the party for the future, but did not pass, in parallel continued to manage the channel, was the author and host of the candid program, where famous ukrainians were invited to talk about their lives. the apostle paul in his letter to the corinthians wrote: "we have one spirit,

it works in each of us. manifestation, and this manifestation works for the benefit of a person, to one it gives wisdom, to another the word of knowledge. when the great war began, kamenska decided to make a vtvp channel according to the information of our law enforcement agencies, she personally participated in the creation of slag content, interviewed the traitor volodymyr saldo. later, her channel covered the activities of the so-called military-civilian administration of kherson. the region he headed. we were so lucky in our life, so many things happen for the first time. for the first time last year, we held a referendum on reunification with the russian federation. for the first time last year , we signed an agreement on joining the russian federation. for this, on march 2, 2023

, tetyana kamenska received suspicion of collaborative activity, she faces up to 12 years in prison. unfortunately, before after the liberation of kherson, kamenska fled to the occupied territory and now sits quietly there and is afraid of displeasing her masters, and her tv channel disappeared from almost all radars, although it remained in telegram, where non-journalists regularly spit something out. during the time that the collaborators program was being created, i wrote and showed you so many stories from... that i thought nothing would surprise me anymore, but the next sale was able to. this is the case when a person has not sold himself for money, positions or opportunities, but simply loves so much russia, the ldpr party, the wagner communist party, in general, everything related to moscow and the war against ukraine, which literally shines from it. this is emilia hontsul from melitopol,

little is known about her peaceful life. social networks you can see that she was engaged in photography and already in 2021 flew to moscow and called it her home. when russian tanks breached melitopol's borders on february 24, she publicly renounced ukraine. to do this, she started a telegram channel, where she wrote that she is not a traitor, she was betrayed by the country, so she, a ukrainian, renounces the ukrainian passport and finally returns home. here you can think that emilia has decided. to crawl to moscow with her belongings, but no, she decided to become a media personality in the occupied territories. she started in kyrylivka, became a press secretary there, ran after the fake head of the military-civilian administration , kateryna umanets, and reported how fruitfully it was working, wrote heartfelt posts of thanks to the ldpr party and the liberation army, edited here...
