nato, at the same time, responsible european politicians want to use this, to show leadership in order to, on the contrary, make the european union even stronger. germany , for example, takes such a position, and in the field of defense as well, so they will do everything to ensure that support for ukraine grows, especially since right now everyone is talking about the danger that russia poses to the countries of the european union . in view of this, i think that everything will be fine and we will receive support. you said the right words about the fact that europe shows leadership, well, at least some european countries of the european union show leadership, perhaps not all of them can be said that way, but by the way, this does not depend on the size and budget of the countries, because leadership is shown, let's say it is territorially small or budgetary such a powerful lithuania, relatively speaking, or estonia and the richest country of the european union , the federal republic of germany, and here there is a perspective, as far as i understand, because you know how ukraine for a long time, everyone thought that our issues would be solved for us. until it started

war, and ukraine was forced to stand up, take the lead and start this battle against, against this universal evil of putin, perhaps this very situation will improve the situation in europe, first of all in terms of security, and secondly, it mobilizes, mobilizes society, mobilizes politics, or are there already signs that european leaders are really mobilizing and becoming firmer in their decisions? well , there are different currents in europrop, you see that in many countries the far-right political forces are winning, or they are not winning, but their... they are growing, as, for example, in in germany, or in the netherlands, at the same time, or in slovakia, where fico won and created his government, at the same time, in poland, for example, donald tusk won, which government, the coalition he heads, and it is obvious that tusk's position is a position on the unity of the european union , in support of ukraine, so of course we depend on this political life in europe, but the germans, for example, will definitely

show leadership and take care of security, which they are already doing. in addition, there is a country that is not in the european union, but which signed a security treaty with poland with us, this is great britain, despite the fact that it is located in europe and influences european processes, so i think that these scales will sway, here a lot depends on us, because we have to demonstrate, - first, our willingness to talk about our interests, it will not be so easy for us to integrate into the european one. for example, with our powerful and strong agricultural sector even during the war, and we see that already some are against it, we will definitely need to think about our integration in nato and in european security structures and also bring the structure of our army, which is strong, experienced, now one of the strongest in europe, but still to the system of nato management standards, and this has not been done yet, and it will have to be done, the same also applies to the fulfillment of the copenhagen criteria, in particular the freedom of speech. rights, fight against

corruption, we, we also have a lot of work here, but the fact that europe understood the importance of ukraine for itself, understood the importance of defeating putin, including thanks, of course, to the heroism of the armed forces of ukraine, this is very important for us and obviously opens up new perspectives for us. well, i ’m here already to the point, since we were talking about international aid from the european union, by the way, today we will be including our correspondent from brussels, so we, and tomorrow it will be, that’s all, i already mixed it up, it will be tomorrow, but i will move on to support from the united states. in america, the situation there is not easy, clearly, statements are made by such active politicians, conscious in the united states states of america, which insist that help is needed. william burns, the head of the cia , said that if there is no help, if there is no help, it will be the biggest own goal in the history of the united states if ukraine does not receive help, but today there was a visit to kyiv by the deputy secretary of state of the united states of america to victoria nulan, how iconic it is, is it a signal, or can it? to be sure, she came, as

they say, not empty-handed, we'll see that she came, but it's definitely good that she came because it is the fact that the united states of america, the biden administration, pay attention to the development of our relations and the support of ukraine, it is of course very important for us, and therefore every such visit is a plus for us, the more there will be, the better. as well as the visits of our leaders to the united states of america, of course, there should be more, because no matter what happens in the united states of america, it remains one of our main allies, now the european union is trying to increase its role in help ukraine, but america will not disappear anywhere and will continue to be our ally, no matter who actually wins the elections there. so, in the recent history of ukraine, it turned out that key decisions, well, most of the key decisions were made by the parliament itself, and the position of the parliament, its stability, its mobilization saved ukraine more than once, let's remember this one. the proclamation

of the act on the state sovereignty and independence of ukraine, this is the 14th year, when actually decapitated ukraine survived, thanks to the parliament, was elected. performing duties of the president, well, actually, the parliament played a key role, and that is why ukrainians are probably a little worried about the statements of, for example, david rahami, who says that many deputies from the servant of the people want to draw up mandates, which can lead to unpredictable processes , and it can be said that this is a parliamentary crisis, or it is just words behind which there is nothing, well, politicians can sometimes say something with a certain purpose, it is not necessary that 100 deputies want to run away and give up their mandates, as far as today.. effective and efficient ukrainian parliament in this difficult time, are there threats that it may not be so effective, please, well, we have a governance crisis in the country, an attempt by the current government, which won the majority, to effectively reduce the role

of the parliament to zero, it is obvious , and we see that deputies are not allowed to engage in diplomacy, parliamentary diplomacy, and this , by the way, is a very interesting topic, because in the draft of the polish national security strategy it is separately written that the role of members of parliament, the role of parliamentary diplomacy in order to to spread among the political community in other countries, the right narratives, to defend the interests of one's country, is extremely large, and everywhere deputies are such a key unit of those who represent the country, including abroad, in our country they do the opposite, they say that deputies can do something to harm, because they say they can... the current government, although abroad everyone is trying to speak with one voice, and now we are not in an election period, the main thing is to win the war. so the current government, it, it does not understand and does not realize the role of the parliament and tries to do it level off, despite the fact that the parliament adopts the budget, it is the parliament that allocates every penny received by every ukrainian soldier, officer,

as well as every ukrainian teacher, if there is no parliament, then there will be no money, because the parliament is the basis of democracy in every european country, we remain a parliamentary... presidential republic and the role of the parliament, the parliament is the power of the country, if there is no power, then the country does not exist, the fact that the majority has been defeated, where there is such a large number of irresponsible people who are ready to give up, leave power or run away and not take responsibility at the most important and most difficult time in the history of ukraine, this is obviously a shame, and for this there will be political responsibility to those political forces, to that political force that created this monomajority, despite the fact that i think that when david. says that this must be opposed, here i am in solidarity with him, because of course, if we are not a democratic country, there will be no help from either the european union or the united states of america, and we are a democratic country, only if in us a strong parliament, as in every democratic country, so the fact that people came there

who are constantly accused of one or other crimes, who want to run away, leave their jobs, this is very bad, and partly it is the irresponsibility of the ukrainian society, which voted for such people, these are related things. and i believe that this war will make our society stronger, our politicians, and we will not be more like a people to make such mistakes to elect such people. well, we still have a little time, but about two such important ones i would like to talk about draft laws , the director of the institute of demography banova said that there will be no more 40 million ukrainians, or they will not be ukrainians, well, in the near future, i mean, and here, of course , the question of multiple citizenships is becoming relevant, because many people will be able to take ukrainian citizenship, let's say come to ukraine or develop a business or... do something else, because they will simply want to come to ukraine, because they will be interested in building a new reality after the war , let's say, after victory, but what are the threats in to this multiple citizenship, are they? no, why many people , citizens of the european union, the united states of america, canada, switzerland, japan can accept multiple citizenship in our country, those people

who come to work, as a rule, are citizens of third countries, and in our country they will not have such opportunities, will only have the opportunity to obtain ukrainian citizenship. if they will probably give up theirs , i don’t even know that, but for these citizens of these countries, they, as the law says, the draft law, they can easily get citizenship, without doing anything for it, not even passing language or culture exams, russia can easily take advantage of this and find several million of its supporters there, who will receive citizenship and vote as putin says, for that parliament and for that president, which the russian federation wants, there are a lot of dangers here. i do not think that there will be queues of european union citizens who want to accept ukrainian citizenship, or perhaps they will want to privatize land there, as citizens of ukraine, because foreigners are prohibited, or use

some of our resources for their own enrichment, then maybe they will want to accept such citizenship, but of course there are a lot of dangers, which i spoke about before, are there any dangers left? in the draft law on mobilization, which has already been submitted to the verkhovna rada of ukraine and will be considered in the near future, it has only been submitted, i have not yet studied this project to the end. obviously, i believe that the method itself preparation of this project is incorrect, because the president is responsible for mobilization, and it was necessary to immediately develop an effective project under the leadership of the president and immediately adopt it, because people in the army are definitely needed, at the same time, this draft law should promote mobilization and encourage people to go to defense homeland, and not to scare them and introduce regulations that will force them to flee the country altogether or never come back here, it is a very delicate balance, but without... of course, this balance must be maintained, there must be effective recruiting, no human rights should be limited

, along with that there should be electronic accounting, which we have now supposedly introduced, having voted for the law on electronic and electronic registers, although we had another law on registers, and if the government wished, it could make the registers for conscripts and military personnel were employed from the first day of the full-scale invasion, or even earlier, without any law, solely by decree based on existing legislation, and here the problem arises that when you are some... unpopular in society, then every branch of government, be it the president, be it the government, be it the deputies of the verkhovna rada, want to throw it off themselves and shift the responsibility to someone else, and this leads to the poor quality of the project, if the president had developed a quality project under his leadership , it was submitted even without all these discussions, to the detriment of people hiding or talking about this law, i think it would be much better and more effective, and the law of course needs to be studied. thank you very much for your comments, thank you for joining, mykola knyazhytskyi, people's deputy of ukraine was in touch with... us, briefly, but in essence , we discussed the most important topics, domestic and foreign,

now we will discuss more about military topics, military results of the day, serhiy zgurets, director of the defense express agency, serhiy , greetings, vasyl, greetings to our viewers, and today in our column we will talk about new long-range weapons for the armed forces of ukraine from the americans, and why there are no such rocket bombs in the us army arsenal, about the first statistics on their use. from drones on on the battlefield and our forces and the enemy and the enemy there are indicative trends and about the situation on the front line itself in a conversation with our military about all this in a moment. so, the pentagon confirmed today that ukraine will receive new models of long-range weapons, these are high-precision weapons. glcb passes or rocket bombs to our hymers and mlrs launchers.

and the publication politico even wrote that on january 31 this weapon will arrive on the battlefield. maybe it is, maybe not, but what can this weapon really do, what is it really like? this is a project which was implemented by the american company booing and the swedish saab, which passed the test. still in the 15th year, and structurally everything looks extremely simple, this is a combination of an aviation bomb, this bomb is equipped with a planning and guidance system with such wings that open after this bomb starts from the launcher and with the help of an unguided engine, then goes out on the trajectory and there actually already plans to the target, which was previously determined, this bomb with... wings is combined with a special transitional device, and this new weapons

frankenstein is called the glsdb, which is a ground-launched small-diameter bomb, and this symbiosis actually has amazing capabilities, why, because it's actually about 150 km range, compared to what we have today we have samples of weapons somewhere from mresi up to 90 km, if we do not count attacks, we had only 20 pieces there with a range of up to 150 km, this is great accuracy, these rocket bombs can hit a target with a deviation of only 90 cm, while these systems it is impossible to crush with the help of reb, as it is now happens with certain samples of heimers, because the developer was tasked with not having these e-munitions be so powerful that they could be suppressed. and the actual power of this combat part on this rocket bomb weighs 90 kg, it is almost four

times more than the combat charge of hymars, combined with accuracy, this is such a powerful symbiotic force, and the actual price, this thing turns out to be somewhere in the range of 60 thousands of dollars, in comparison with the projectile from hymers 100 00 and in comparison with the guided missile there, well, more than 1 million. these samples will be actually on... now be transferred, the question arises, in what quantity. the previous contract, which was signed in march, stipulated that initially 25 of these samples would be transferred, but ... then during the year another 700 would be produced, but a number of agencies that followed this topic wrote that in fact ukraine will be transferred significantly a larger number, so i think from 20 to 700, this is the batch that our army should receive in the near future and use against the enemy, you can destroy fortified objects, bridges, point targets like

of the enemy's anti-aircraft missile launchers, in terms of accuracy and power, this is an extremely e... active weapon and one more point that i think ukraine should use: in fact, it is a sample of weapons that can be partially assembled or manufactured at our defense enterprises, first of all of course, they are interested in this new or old rocket engine, which is used on these projectiles and which would be very good to make at our facilities and thus provide a new component to strengthen the ukrainian armed forces, more that our partners... says that our defense industry should produce new models, so this model is quite acceptable in order to strengthen our capabilities and add such another long arm to the potential of the ukrainian army. and then we will talk about other types of weapons, because in addition to missile weapons, of course, we also need fpv drones, they are now partially

compensated for the lack of artillery, and what exactly is happening with this direction in poe. situations on specific areas of the front, we will to speak with our next guest, and now we are joined by the sergeant of the achilles attack drone company of the 92nd separate assault brigade, oles malyarevich, mr. oles, congratulations, but i think i made some mistake, because actually now your unit is no longer a company, and becomes a battalion, and the question arises, what does this mean for you... your unit, and what must be done to make your battalion as effective as the company where you are now serving? i wish you health, glory to ukraine, all the viewers and you, so today is your birthday achilles battalion, a year ago by the decision of chief zaluzhnyi, we became a company of shock unmanned aviation complexes, currently already

a battalion, this indicates that this type, these forces of the air forces of ukraine are very ... a big task, which we fulfill in principle with honor, the flank where we are currently working , the south of bakhmut, our task is to fully support our infantry units, artillery, we clear everything that moves in our direction, everything that moves, everything that crawls, there were times when thanks to the fpv drones that a year ago they were considered, one might say, such by civilians, they destroyed up to 9 pieces of equipment, this really replaces the classical... types of weapons, and this direction must be developed, so now we are increasing five times and looking for new products, engineers, programmers, everyone, everyone , we need more and more smart people who want to win this war with us. how should these smart people find your new battalion, what is the optimal way of contacting,

well, potential contingent for your battalion? there is a link in our social networks, it is easy to find, you kill achilles there or les malyarevich, instagram , facebook, or yury fedorenko, the commander, or simply achilles , there are a lot of people on social networks now, we have achilles on the telegram channel, and there is a link, which form must be filled out to get to you, we have a very cool unit, you can say very young, we have a combatant, a senior lieutenant , a battalion commander, a senior lieutenant, i will be there myself, a lieutenant, i will be a junior lieutenant now, 99% of our unit is like that - civilians, and a very big thank you to the commander of the 92nd brigade for what he gave we have a chance and credit trust civilians, work effectively together with the military, and that's why we have this synergistic effect working very, very well in our brigade, sir, can you tell us a little more about the situation on two areas of the front, it's precisely about bakhmut, which you mentioned, and about

kup' yanskman, where is the same, i understand that part of your unit fulfills its basic tasks... regarding the destruction of the enemy? and we work now exclusively in bakhmut, the south of bakhmut, we also help the brigades that are constantly working to the left and right of us. currently, our task is defense, defense, the task is completed, no positions have been lost, moreover, i will say that over the last day we have even improved our positions a little, so, that is, the task of defending this line is completely completed, and i... i would like you to comment on some statistics in fact , we've collected some data today based on an analysis of osinters where they've reported usage data over a six-month period. drones from the enemy and from our armed forces. now we will see the first infographic, which shows the amount of use of fpv drones

against armored enemy targets. now there will be an infographic, where our quantitative use of semi-drones is shown in blue , and the enemy's in red, that is, in fact , we are talking about the fact that we have used much more. enemy targets and we have better results. the second infographic is about anti-infantry uses. so here, in fact , we see that the enemy has more ways of using drones than we do, and we see that there is an increase in the enemy's capabilities, precisely from the point of view of the tactics of use. and the third infographic concerns using. fpv of drones against fortifications, against trenches and so on, here the enemy generally has a 10-fold advantage there, 50 there, relatively speaking, of our fp drones, 500 of

the enemy, this is for the period, well, half-yearly figures, and the last these columns are just the last months, can we really talk about the fact that now there is such a certain disproportion that the enemy is using more half-drones against fortification against. force, and we use more samples of strike drones specifically against the enemy's armored vehicles and ground vehicles. and the tactics of using drones and bomber drones in general , all the means we have, such as a strike weapon, this is decided by the command of the unit that works on the given shade of the front. but on our part of the front there are combat tasks that need to be done, for example , to carry out remote mining, or there was a task, for example, to suppress the enemy's artillery, which is there on... they tried to deploy and train our units, but sometimes it happens , it's expensive, yes, it's expensive, you have to work on the infantry, which tries to leave the position of our infantry, then we save the lives of our

infantrymen, and these strongholds, everything that intelligence finds, the command quickly decides by what means to destroy it, and we do it, we do not have such that we work there only by artillery, no occupy us with any other business, no, we work united, we work... as a single united such you know the effect of fire and promptly online 24/7 we decide what to work on the enemy so that he is destroyed, this is how they work effectively when we say that the first month has already passed there at the time when there is a course taken there to increase the number of fp drones supplied to the armed forces, it is a ceiling of at least 1 million eupivdrones, or is it already felt? is this in your supply, or are the volumes still the same as before the announcement of these guidelines? well, i don't always have a positive

attitude to such slogans, let's give a million drones there, a million here, it's not about quantity, it's about quality, drones must be of good quality, drones must be understood by specific manufacturers, who assemble them, because each drone, which falls on front, the pilot should hold this drone in his hands, says: i saw this drone, we tested it. it flies, we use it all the time, if it's a new model of some kind, it must first be tested on the range, how it performs with the bc that we would have as a kit, so we have suppliers that we work with, there are new volunteers from there are new suppliers that are handed over to us, we test them and take them into service or not, there are a lot of drones that cost the same 20 uah, but they don’t fly, they are simply assembled poorly or not thought, wanted faster, faster. and they didn't do what they should, it's definitely not about quantity , it's only about quality, every drone is, it 's an expensive bk, you see, expensive bk, an expensive battery, it's very expensive to get to the right

position, and it's dangerous for pilots, that is, everything is thought out, and we try to ensure that every drone works, every one flies, we use all the latest tools and additional tools that we install on drones so that they fly over enemy lines. that is, this is a very serious question, and here it is not about the amount, but when there are situations when there is a real breakthrough in the enemy's equipment, we are ready for this, we have drones, we take responsibility for the fact that the lives of our units that work next to us depend on our work, on our work, that is, everyone understands how much this is important, mr. olesya , but there is such a problem as, relatively speaking, there are more and more drones, and the frequency resource is not rubber, and in fact, relatively speaking... it is necessary to hunt down that, well, those units that are guaranteed to destroy the enemy, guaranteed to get certain ranges there and

do they work there or how is it now? it happens, let's go back to what i said, there is a command of the front line, where these combat clashes take place, and everyone understands who flies, who flies, on what purity, on what shades, no one is there, we have long since learned not to cross paths with other units , because we interfere with each other, that is, there were such cases that some unit there comes there xx there allfa3, they work out, turn on the rap, all the other drones, they are there, one of theirs flies there and that’s it, well, that was it, it was a mistake , this it happened before, currently we do not allow this , we have everything, we try to organize it very clearly, because it is all expensive and very important, every drone that did not fly is some kind of occupier who can leave or leave the positions of our guys, then girls, the situation with the use of drones with night vision there

with cameras that allow. carry out combat missions at night, is this trend already becoming somewhat widespread in the arsenal that you currently have at your disposal, but we work mostly during the day with fpv drones, and now they will be a day longer closer to spring to summer, at night we work as urine bombers, somehow it turned out that way, but we also strive to have more ftv drones with night vision, because it is... a really effective thing and there are those who you you have goals, you work and find the night , it's six in the evening there, you can't see anything, not even five, and you don't have enough vision for this one drone, two night visions, to finish them off, so that they don't pull out a tank there, or there infantry did not run back or forward to their there, so it is expensive, somewhere 700-900 dollars the camera is expensive, the drone itself costs about 500 dollars, and the camera costs 700-900, but it will definitely be in sufficient quantity.

i would like to ask about what the prime minister promised, there was some kind of resolution that now each brigade will receive up to 10 million hryvnias to meet its priority needs for the purchase of other types of equipment, what else, this is exactly this the transition process taking into account this single tax for the military there, and it seems that some brigades have already started using these funds, has this wave reached you or not yet? i will say that all the innovations that happen in the army, they immediately reach us , we are always very pioneers in this regard, and there were times when we worked well, our brigade commander comes to us and says: guys, well done, what are you doing it is necessary, we say that, well, we purchase, that is, it is quickly resolved, and the task to do it immediately goes there, we try, well, to react very, very quickly to all opportunities that appear in general, any. and official,

unofficial, that is, we, well, really, that's it satisfied, and i am happy, as a non-military man, i was never a military man before, i have been in business all my life, and as it is, you know, from the army, it turns out to combine everything so that it goes, everything flies quickly and correctly, and sometimes it happens differently, unfortunately, not with us, thank god, well, that's good, and you mentioned that you are looking for operators, how difficult it is to be an operator. sub-flights in terms of the number of combat missions that the operator can perform there in one day in particular, because i was told that there are a maximum of three to five flights in these glasses, and more it is extremely difficult to fly, because the vestibular apparatus reacts quite hard to this new reality, which is connected with the use of fp drones, and we try to make sure that everyone works

in a narrow profile, there is a pilot, he flies, there is an engineer, he makes a bull there, there is another engineer who prepares a drone, there is a technician who prepares a car, there is another technician who takes care of refueling there, running something over there, replacing a tire there, that is, the pilot will receive, must receive everything, everything in order to to go out and work and then rest, here therefore, we are not only looking for pilots , we are looking for pilots, engineers and clerks , and we are looking for security guards, and we are looking for drivers, we need all of them, and we will already decide who will do what... but the overall result depends on the results of all these people , which we show on the battlefield , we have neither the opportunity nor the important specialties in our battalion, our body works as one single entity, and we literally have 40 seconds, which is the most powerful target we managed to destroy recently, which caused your satisfaction there or your brothers in destruction of enemies, well, to

say it right away... a week ago, when the deadline was.
