of gostomel, this is the first case about war crimes in ukraine, which is being conducted by germany - said the minister of justice of germany, marko buschmann. then in march. in 2022, civilians and in particular with german citizenship. the german federal prosecutor's office initiated a so-called structural investigation. the point is to obtain initial evidence without specific suspects, thanks to the interview of witnesses who sought asylum in germany. a similar approach was used for war crimes in syria, where several sentences have already been handed down. european countries were able to increase oil exports from russia by approximately ten. now sales do not exceed 4-5%. at the same time, in 2023 , approximately half of russian oil exports and oil products went to china, - said the vice prime minister of russia oleksandr novak. according to him

, beijing is russia's main partner in the current situation. supplies to india also increased sharply. in two years, the total share reached 40%. campaigned for joining russia. the security service detained the collaborator in kherson. after the city was captured by the enemy, a local resident cooperated with the occupiers and became a member of the so-called election committee for organizing fake voting. a man accompanied by armed militants walked around the yards, residents and forced them to put the necessary marks in illegal ballots. after the release of the regional. center, the collaborator stayed on the right bank and tried to hide, now the man is in custody, he faces up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property. he was born in dnipro, his life was almost a continuous holiday, but

2014 radically changed everything. rustam mustafayev, chief sergeant of the 47th separate mechanized brigade , has been advocating for seven years. independence of our country at the front, let's see its history further. rustam in the distant civilian past, mustafayev was an organizer of mass events, and today he is fighting the russian occupiers at the front and defending the life of every ukrainian. during the revolution of dignity, he created a volunteer organization and began helping the military. in 2015, he went into service himself. as a volunteer, at first, that's how i traveled, helped the boys, got to know the boys. somehow everything turned around like that, well, i sat, looked, there are arms, legs, why am i not there, why am i here, without me it can be organized, and i went to the service. rustam serves in the 47th separate mechanized brigade, which not only stops the russian offensive, but also counterattacks, liberating ukrainian settlements

from occupation. since 2015 , he has visited almost all regions where active hostilities are taking place. first , the counterattack brigade. were thrown to the zaporizhzhia direction, after a successful, slow, not as fast as most wanted, but a slow successful counteroffensive, the brigade showed itself well, and then during the escalation in the odiev direction, we were transferred in full to the ovid direction, now we are holding back the enemy there and fighting for our land. the 47th separate mechanized brigade hits the enemy with kamikaze drones. today, drones will not only replace. have intelligence, but are also used by fighters as guided projectiles. with the help of drones, the military clears the positions of the occupiers before our infantrymen attack them. however, all the copters they have are the help of citizens and volunteers. unfortunately, in general, such a concept as the kamikaze drone

is not in service in the armed forces of ukraine, and they are not purchased like this to our enemy. our enemy simply receives them in batches of tens of thousands, they are issued, they are simple. as shells are issued, simply as a regular requirement, unfortunately, we do not have this yet. despite the pain, fatigue and losses, the fighters of the 47th brigade still find reasons for joy. for us, the best moments in our service are when we are either tangential, or our unit is tangential, or we personally participate in the destruction of manpower or equipment and or some means of the enemy. this is the best for us. for us, there is no such thing as a weekend or a day-night concept. don't know how to celebrate there go somewhere something a full-scale russian invasion landed rustam in the hospital. he had reasons to be discharged from the service, but he decided to stay in the army and returned to the front. it is necessary not only to believe in victory, but also to help the military as much as possible. if you

cannot fight, you must help those who can fight. well, there is no other way. rustam gives a short answer to the question of how russia's war against ukraine should end. no arrangements, just. victory of ukraine. espresso together with a public organization the ua base collects funds for atvs to transport the wounded and other needs of the 93rd. of a separate mechanized brigade of the armed forces of ukraine kholodny yar. in extremely difficult conditions , the ukrainian military fights for victory every day, not leaving wounded comrades on the battlefield. with atvs, evacuation will be faster and easier, and therefore the chances of saving the injured will be much greater. in general, our goal is uah 800,000. with your help, we have already collected over uah 720,000. there's still a little bit left to close this collection, so get your phones out and scan. codes which you see and donate. for now, this is all

the banking sector is in the positive. already this year, thanks to the help of our partners , new models of ukrainian armored vehicles are appearing. after all, amid minefields and under enemy fire, we harvested a record harvest. espresso analyzes the business results of the year. uah 735 million is the amount. taxes paid by ids ukraine for 10 months of this year. despite all the challenges of wartime, the company not only continues to work and provide jobs, but also actively develops, launches new products, increases state support with taxes and provides ukrainians with great social assistance - says the head of the ukrainian board of directors of ids uukraine in sevulot bilas. compared to last year, this year was more successful for business, because, well, there are several reasons for this, we have already adapted to tigum. so there was a better understanding of the situation, certain work rules were developed, and

this year we increased sales by 10%. increased sales enable the company to do more to help the armed forces, we will continue to be the largest taxpayer in our industry. the social component has become the most important business priority. the company has established cooperation with more than two hundred charitable foundations. through this interaction, she helps the military, hospitals and civilian ukrainians who suffered from russian aggression, in particular with the assistance of the office of the president of ukraine and military administrations, the kherson region received more than 5 million liters of drinking water for a total of 35 million uah after the hydroelectric power plant was blown up . since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, in total, we have given more than 200 million water, and the total all donations are about 300 million hryvnias. providing social support to others, the company continues to worry about its employees, who are currently serving in the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine.

we support our colleagues who are in the armed forces, we fully equip them despite the difference in the law, so we left them with a mediocre salary. for more than 25 years, the company has been producing bottled water, known under the trademarks morshinska and myrhorodska, but it does not stand still and invests resources in development. over the past 5 years, the amount of capital investments, in particular in production reached 2 billion 300 million uah. during the war, we continue to invest in production. we invested almost uah 440 million in launching a new aseptic line. we have released new products, including carbonated lemonade. based on natural juices. we released an energy drink with different flavors. it is already a will. with this drink we give. free to our defenders in huge quantities.

effective management of a professional team allows a business to stand. the management team of the company has been almost unchanged for about 15 years. in the following in 2018, ids ukraine plans to remain the industry leader and increase product sales to pre-war levels. dear friends, here we are on the air, continuing our marathon, this is our final hour for today, when we are on the air with andriy seichuk, with lesia vokulyuk and, by the way, we are joined by mr. taras, we congratulate you, good day, mr. taras, one way or another, we are currently discussing zaluzhny's briefing a lot, such a rather unexpected commander-in-chief was very, very invisible in the media and quite so, so to speak inconspicuous and inert, well, if you don't take into account

his presence alone in social networks and a series of publications in the west. to the press, in particular to the economist, but in general we can say that he was not very media-friendly and stingy for some of his media appearances, but yesterday a whole briefing, why do you think it came to such a point that the commander-in-chief held a huge briefing , and the hard-working man didn't have to hold any briefings, and the whole country knows what he does, well, the hard-working man, like me more than once. he said a long time ago turned into such a kind of ukrainian national myth, and he did not need media activity in principle anyway, well , it is enough to look at how many songs have already been created about zaluzhny himself in folk art, and therefore here, what he says there, in reality, when he comes out to the briefing, this

is actually an event, because in principle it is not his job, he is the head of... the general staff, his task is to manage the defense of the country, so the whole country knows what zaluzhny is doing, and the fact that he left is a matter of course , associated with the law on mobilization, which is currently being actively discussed, he expressed his position about it there, well, well , we can all see the results, and by the way , yuriy. butusov wrote that zelenskyi , no, it is not butusov, is citing the opinion of military serviceman yevgeny nazarenko, that is what it is even called, the author of digital content and the press officer of the 68th separate yegor brigade of the oleksish airborne forces of ukraine, wrote yevhen, zelenskyi didn't let the hard-working man speak publicly all the time

at full scale, because we have one leader, this one a military boy's sweater is worn by everyone. maybe, when the question of the demobilization law came up, they threw valery fedorovych under the ice, because the military wants to force everyone into the army, the tcc and the general staff, and so on. what do you think about this idea? well, look, i usually don't comment on what the military says about how the army should be built, how it should be done, because i think that's the competence of the military, i, as a civilian, have no moral right to discuss what's going on at all , i can say that in relation to what, well, myself the appearance of zaluzhny at the press conference, of course, he emphasized that this is joint work, this is joint work of both the military and the political, as well as politicians, yes, that is,

here it is hardly possible to say that it is only the army. proceed from what is, because in reality the whole country must work for victory, this also applies to the rear, first of all, this applies first of all to the organization of the production of its own weapons, it is a question of the survival of our country, because there are risks that and aid may be reduced , including military aid, and there are risks, to be more precise they will definitely not give us weapons that can be used on the territory of the russian federation. by the way, zaluz did not say that, he said that weapons are needed, people are needed, and because the military, they proceed from the resources provided to them, yes, and what tasks they set before themselves, and what are the opportunities to use, actually speaking, such a leiate motive was industrious, what

he said industriously, and even more industriously he said that in principle. mobilization figures that are negotiated, this does not mean that it should be immediately, it means that it will gradually it is needed there in the amount, according to the schedule that the army needs, in general, we must understand that the army in our country is now almost the only institution that works, as state institutions should work, according to the plan, the planning of resource calculations, we are goals , which are required to be achieved in a specific time frame with the availability of those resources and accordingly he answered in principle in such a style that what is needed for the organization to be effective. of the country's defense, mr. taras, ukrainian truth, ukrainian truth sources received information from z faction of the servants of the people

, that the following recommendations were sent to the deputies of the majority of the ruling party that they should avoid commenting on the draft law on improving the mobilization of military records submitted to the verkhovna rada, why the ruling party is so and why it... remains silent if the draft bill is introduced to the verkhovna rada and they are tangential to that, and bezugla knows about it, or she just did not understand, as usual, what it was about, well, look, after ms. bezugla is more active there, say that you do not comment, and until you stopped her, until they did not expel the servants of the people from the faction, all these prohibitions, they do not actually work, because she is actually a representative of the servants of the people, for now. i hope that the party will finally kick her out, because everything, if it continues like this, everything, everything, everything will fall evenly on the faction, no matter how they

want, to comment on it, not to comment, well, how, how well you can not comment if you pass such bills, and of course, we must understand that for the sake of efficiency, well , there cannot be a separate army in the country now... separate politicians, a separate rear, for example, yes , it doesn’t happen like that, total war requires total resistance of the entire society and mobilization, primarily including the rear, because zelensky said at the press conference that in order for one soldier to fight , it is necessary that at least six people work in the rear, well, then calculate how it should all be built up, that is, here, well, it is unlikely to be possible to... avoid avoiding such a separation that there are separate ones, there are others, well doesn't just happen during a war with such

a difficult enemy, the one who can wins to mobilize, and to mobilize the maximum possible resource, and we have the task of mobilizing the economy and reducing expenses, for example, which do not directly concern the army, all investments... now go into the production of weapons, because the enemy is dispersing his military economy, so if they didn't say that these are fakes, that they are propaganda, no, not propaganda, they are actively working on it, they study experience, they copy it, they effectively copy the methods used by the ukrainian army, therefore not you have to laugh at them, you know, our time is like this... a kind of unjustified nobism has appeared in relation to russians, especially those who directly, when presenters laugh, for example on the air, okay, it will be fine, comedians laugh, let it be, radio dj

, it lifts the mood when some of the president's advisers start laughing, it really puts everyone in some confusing situations, i wanted to say something else, i really liked how valery pekar formulated his opinion here, a public intellectual who does not know ukrainian, who writes about ... about what mobilization can do to turn out, we already started talking about it, you started talking about it, about these problems, in particular economic ones, for example, because today they just said that in kharkiv they cannot find 10 trolleybus drivers, 10 drivers for a city of a million people, due to the fact that people are afraid to get into the tsc right away, they will go to work, and this is also a problem, because if zelensky is right and we need six taxpayers for one mobilized person, then we also need to mobilize the economy early, and here pekar says that mobilization... is not a military issue and what was said on zaluzhny is the same, the military here are simply , relatively speaking, the customers, they say, give us more soldiers, and mobilization is not

a military issue, but a political and managerial one, the political aspect consists in justice, the managerial aspect consists in the possibility of implementing the plan, so whether maybe ukraine, which is so hybrid, we have democracy on the one hand, and some kind of authoritarian bureaucrat on the other. the mechanism and the strange superstructure now of this hyper-power of the president with poor control and transparency, i.e. can we do it on this to answer the challenge, namely to ensure the fairness of the mobilization and b) to ensure that it is managed in a normal way, so that neither the economy nor the economy will suffer from it , so that those who are caught are not actually at the front, but those who would rather be there. well , look, the centralization of power during, even in democratic countries, this is the norm, not the exception, well, let's take the second world

war there, democrats. great britain churchill holds simultaneously and at the same time the position of prime minister and the ministry of defense, so the head, he actually concentrates power in his hands and including also educates the state apparatus so that it acts in accordance with a specific plan, this applies to the united states of america and so on. what you said about the drivers and everything else, well, that means that you need an account. resources that are available, reservation of resources, yes, retraining of people , if you, who, where, who can occupy what, what positions, well, what does the economy mean, that is , what does it mean that the economy will suffer, ah, if the russians come, there will be no economy will be, there is only a military economy, the united states states of america, by the way, after the start of the attack , the raids, were immediately created in...

management, management of resources, including human resources, and price control, including the introduction, there were food cards, for example, and so on, that is everything here , it is a semi-planned economy, no matter how we like it or not, we still often hear such, you know, appeals, let's let the economy go, that it can be let go at the lower level, at the middle level and at. .. at the highest level , only that which works has the right to life, that which that only works for defense, everything else, it floats, well, how will it turn out, because resources are needed by the country, in our country, for example, i’m talking about reducing spending on what state expenses that do not directly concern the army, there are paving stones, landscaping and all this toft , which has nothing to do with the army, well, last year,

if i'm not mistaken, we had on... for example, 1 billion dollars of alcohol was imported, why should a country import alcohol, so we have our own, our own alcohol, if what, and this is the currency that was taken abroad, that is, it is already the management of specific resources, and where should be directed, the bullets should be directed to direct the resources to support the army, we need, if there is 1 million idiots was declared by the president, then we probably need even more resources to ... to transfer the war to the territory of the russian federation, which can we produce and must produce? i believe that we can produce drones, missiles, and armored vehicles , finance science, promising research that makes possible weapons that do not yet exist, well, look, yesterday the minister defense of the united kingdom noted what is happening in the black sea, that in fact the black sea fleet simply

ceases to exist more and more. why? because the ukrainians took responsibility into their own hands, that's how they created these surface drones, the sbu somewhere organized production, they declared underground, so now there is sibaby, a sea baby, there is a mother, there is an underwater drone planned with the poetic name marichka, and we see that the whole world sees the results , including our allies, that the work is going on, and it is working for us, and we must understand if we no... if we switch to a military economy, if we don't start producing weapons, then they will begin to cut aid to us, we must understand this clearly and clearly, because no one particularly wants to be harnessed for anyone, and our allies have a question as to why the ukrainian rear is so disorganized, that does not work for the defense industry, so accordingly, there is a question for the drivers and all others, who can replace, who can take their place, this should already

be decided in a specific way... in a specific order, not that we are not we can find, yes, the military economy does not work, this is actually a question of whether the ukrainian bureaucratic state system can advise itself to cope with the management challenge, this will be an important and interesting question, well, if in our country , for example, a person is appointed as the head of the military administration of an entire region simply because he is the son-in-law of my friend , with whom i made some films together, your friend, not mine, i have... how effective these people are, maybe luck, and this person is both the son-in-law of the second president and an effective manager, it also happens, but not in 100% of the time, but we will see that the war will actually show everything is put in its place.
