ways across the zerebets river, is the enemy trying to attack these bridges with their aircraft? regularly attacks, regularly attacks both with kababs and reactive artillery, that is, it happens regularly, we have several roads, we call them the road of life, because everything is shot at there, everything happens there regularly, of course, well , that is, but in any in this case, the logistics work, and even despite these risks of strikes on these bridges, there are still... ways of provision that allow, well, to get your brigade everything that is necessary in the field combat, of course, of course, well, for every measure there is a countermeasure, of course there were videos where your brigade works effectively with semi-drones, destroys even enemy ground drones there, a little more detail about the drones, because we will now again show the collection for your battalion of your teams, a few examples of the work of your specialists so that people understand... is it important

to support this collection? in fact, now it is extremely important to support this collection, because, as i said, now the fighting is moving to the plane of drones, fpv. what gives us fpv? first, it is a powerful possibility of defeat. second, it's, well, let's be honest, it's safer than sending multiple people to do the same job. therefore, this collection is extremely important, and i urge everyone to close it as soon as possible, because it will greatly improve us. work, our work is to protect our state, our ukraine and destroy the enemy, well, actually, i think that's what we all strive for. mr. bohdan, do the drones work at night, do you have modern fpv drones with the so-called final homing area, the ministry of statistics was there and announced the purchase of exactly such drones, are such modern drones actually in your arsenal? well, you know, i would really like to have mine numbers shared with us, if the wine... purchase, we will be

very grateful, do we have drones that also carry out mines so that the enemy does not advance to our positions, or have these models of the use of our heavy drones there been worked out? yes, of course it is, and it is used regularly, regularly we understand the ways, the possible ways of promotion enemy, or on foot, or infantry, of course, because of these heavy drones, we name them. we deliver and it has its results, because the enemy regularly hits these mines, and we disrupt their plans, this is also true, but the enemy does the same, this must be understood. mr. bohdan, how much of the fighting involving the use of drones or the enemy's attempts to advance falls on the night, how active is the night now from the point of view of fighting? now the night is not very active, this is explained by what? this is explained, in my opinion, first of all.

the technologies that we are, that is , any movement can be seen much better at night than during the day, because everything lights up, use the technology at night, well, it generally lights up very strongly, you know, it can be seen in the thermal imager, if it is even infantry, well now although in the summer there are a few leaves, in the winter, well, or when there are no leaves, it is generally very, very visible, so it's just, well, if you know, it's not very advisable, let's say at night, and is there a need for such protective camouflage coatings? pull that in order to cover the fighters from thermal imagers, from night drones, is there a need in these developments, do your soldiers have such cloaks, why am i asking, because i maintain contact with our developers, and they say that we have done such cool things there, there should be a request for such samples of equipment, equipping our military, which your experience on this topic speaks, you know, i've been hearing about it for at least a year now, that they are, they've already given us a lot. but unfortunately, not a single product has yet

worked as we would like, they either heat up later, or they are too heavy, too bulky, well, that is, to work this is impossible, of course, that would be desirable, but at the moment there is no such form that could really work as it should, and mr. bohdan, finally i want to ask about recruiting, a decision was made, we know that it will be possible to order a cabin, where the brigades will still be able to take people who want to fight in a specific... brigade without a tsk link, what do you say about this, do you see a positive in this, how is your brigade, your battalion replenished? and i totally welcome this decision, in fact, it's really good solution, if it will be possible, because those combat commanders who understand what they need and who they need communicate directly, and they have the opportunity to communicate with those who will go and they can, that is, it is more honest, it is more direct , because the one who goes to the army, he can cause... ask all

the questions that there are, i understand that society has very, very many myths, some tricks in their heads, they think that now i will come, i am here no one needs me, they will give me a uniform, a machine gun, some old bronculet, right away they will kill, that is not the case, so it is good that there will be a possibility of direct contact, the possibility of asking this, secondly, the commanders who are on the ground, over there understand very well who they need, than the tcc officers there pay all attention to them, eh, i am very positive about this, i am very positive about this and i hope that it somehow moves this mobilization from its place, because i want society to finally understand that this is not a mobilization or something that it's not cool, it's not cool to run away from the tcc, but it's worth it the question... the existence of our state, the state of ukraine, well, i think that this is very important to everyone, and that is why we must fight for it, and the army is a very diverse large structure, in which there are not only those who sit in the trenches, of course , and there are also administrative servicemen, there are means of security, there are anti-tankers,

anti-aircraft fighters, it specialists and so on and so forth, we live in the 21st century, and therefore for every ukrainian, every man and woman, if she has a desire, there will be a profession. and it's good that society will finally be able to communicate with directly by combat commanders, military personnel on the ground, maybe it will move . mr. bohdan, thank you very much for your explanations, for what you and your comrades are doing to protect our country, i will remind our viewers that this was a serviceman of the 60-60th separate mechanized brigade with the call sign of mt. these were the main points of emphasis in the military results of this day and week, and further. the broadcast will be continued by vasyli zima, so stay tuned to the espresso channel. thanks to serhii zgrats, thanks to his guest. i am glad to return to the conversation, in us we still have a little less than an hour and a half with you, and in

these hours and a half we will definitely be able to fit the most important, the most important, the things that cannot be missed. well, let's start with the announcement of the gathering, the espresso tv channel and the vesna charitable fund have opened. funds for the purchase of modern drones and electronic warfare systems for the third separate assault, 110th and 47th brigades of the armed forces of ukraine. the defenders in the donetsk direction hold back heavy enemy attacks every day. they defend freedom, they defend the future of our life with you. it was these soldiers who stood before the latter defended a difficult withdrawal and from the first defense, then a withdrawal in the avdiiv direction in the spring. when there was a shortage of ammunition, there was plenty. problems, but still they persevered and were able to do what they had to do and fulfill the task set before them, but still, due to these difficult and difficult battles, the armed forces of ukraine suffered losses in the usual way , soldiers also died, there were many wounded, but losses in equipment also and in particular in drones,

so we need to renew resources as soon as possible, our military urgently needs flying weapons and modern means of combating enemy drones. that is, we need high-quality soldiers, these technologies are critically important for the protection of our soldiers, for the protection of their lives, our goal is ambitious, but realistically 3.5 million hryvnias. remember that each of your donations is not wasted, it brings our victory closer, and together we will be able to protect those who protect us. so, we will donate, and we will start our conversation. good health, dear ukrainians, we are... fighters of the first assault battalion of the third separate assault brigade, who will defend our native land on the front lines, we urgently need your help, we need means of radio-electronic warfare against small uavs and drones, we are asking for your

help, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, glory, so we will donate, well, we will start a conversation with the guests, whom we ... let's invite andrii lavrus, deputy of the kropyvnytskyi district council, to the conversation. mr. andrii, i congratulate you. mr. andriy, glad to see and hear. glory to ukraine, can you hear me? now we will try to get in touch again. on august 1, the enemy attacked the kirovohrad region, and we will talk about the consequences of enemy attacks, and in general we will talk about life. in the kirovohrad region of the city of kropyvnytskyi, it is not so often possible to talk with this region in particular, but despite everything , there are also many important processes taking place there, and there are certain points that are worth discussing, and what about the fact that the enemy is trying to heal something there, and unfortunately, often suffers

civil infrastructure, residential infrastructure, business infrastructure, people are suffering, citizens, so let's ask which of the... was caused by enemy strikes, the enemy used rockets iskanderra, if the information i read is true, of course we all can understand the enemy's goal in one or another area, especially now, but i will not voice this topic, then they will write that you are surrendering everything to the enemy, no one ever surrenders anything to the enemy, but we understand the main thing is what the aggressor can hunt for, but he can hunt for anything, but unfortunately, those blows are very often, but i will not think about it any further, mr. andrii will tell you himself, andrii lavrus, deputy of the kropyvnytskyi district council, glory to ukraine, mr. andriy. i congratulate you, glory to the heroes, i congratulate the studio, so on august 1, the voros

attacked the kirovohrad region, please tell us about the consequences of the enemy attacks, from what we can say, how do you manage to overcome these consequences, if there was destruction, victims, please, yesterday on august 1, after 9 p.m. , an air raid alarm was sounded, and in just a few minutes we heard the sound of a crash. and then there was a second explosion, well, most likely what i read on telegram channels, it was the release of ballistics from crimea, and probably his, well, they they usually hit with ballistics, it's an iskander m type missile, children, many children were at dinner on the street, walking and, well, they were very scared, i will say this right away, the fact that we are in kropyvnytskyi, it is obvious that the explosions were outside... the city limits , er, there is no official information,

well, accordingly, it means that it is impossible to say, but if there are no victims and everyone is alive, then it is already good, but it is clear that the enemy has his informants somewhere, somewhere it is true, somewhere it is not true from the fact that he finds out, very often the enemy just hits residential buildings, tries to intimidate, demotivate, introduce into the state of horror in ukrainian society, but... quite often, even when the enemy tries to heal something somewhere that he thinks is there, unfortunately, people can suffer, especially since, let's say, the enemy uses quite often now these iskander rockets are cluster missiles, when the damage is not to the warhead, when the warhead is not explosive, it is a set of cassettes that scatter and hit, hit citizens, this also happens, for example, we saw such a story in odesa, kirovohrad region, well, not far away from the front is located. all in fact central ukraine, and we understand that given the current situation, we must always

prepare for different scenarios, to the fact that we believe that the armed forces of ukraine will hold the enemy where they hold him, but again, we must prepare for different scenarios , and therefore without revealing any details, secrets, do you have information about the proper work on the construction of fortifications, well , given all the conditions and circumstances that exist in the kirovohrad region. construction of fortifications or certain networks that could help the armed forces of ukraine in if anything, use them to deter the enemy. please. well, look, as far as i know from official sources, namely from the regional military administration, fortifications are sometimes built in the zaporizhzhia region, and our region, and in particular the administration , is responsible because it attracts people there. as i understand it, contractors, contracting organizations that help build and strengthen

fortifications, when the task of building arises, well, that is, it is determined not by civilians, but by the military, the necessity construction of fortification structures in one or another territory, when there is such a need in our region, i am convinced that they will deal with this, we will help, well, what we are doing now, in addition to building fortification structures. from our region, we do not stop helping and volunteering for the armed forces of ukraine. therefore , by rallying in this way, i believe that we can only overcome the challenges that are in front of us, when they are otherwise, well, it will only go against the enemy, therefore , running ahead, i call on its authorities at all levels, not you, the public and the society, do not... demand their endurance there, you know,

because the fact that yesterday, for example, there was information about khmadit, and as much as there was public indignation, such things do not unite, they divides, and that is why those who want to profit from the mountain, law enforcement agencies should act immediately and cut off such things, because i will repeat again that it divides society, and not unites, you know, this is a very good thing . you immediately feel a soul kinship with you, because good people have to the right ukrainians, this immediately evokes what you have just voiced, and that how much... how can you make money on the mountain, don't be poor, this is what you said just now about okhmadyt, we just discussed this topic with taras zagorodnyy yesterday, and today there was information that some new company appeared there, as if out of nowhere, you know, as if by a wave of a magic wand, which is ready to participate in the tender for the construction of the main military memorial of the country, where it should be a holy place on decades and centuries, and there

are already some such things, well, i think so they will still cut off similar... there will always be attempts to steal something from someone, somewhere, this is understandable in any country, and in ukraine during the war, you know, but you understand what i said, that such situations, on the one hand, we here we unite, we help the frontline of the armed forces of ukraine, here the region is looking for funds for the construction of fortifications there, and on the other hand there are such unscrupulous, such unscrupulous people who want to make a profit, what you want to make a profit on, on children's. arni on the children on those where the rockets hit, what on earth in general, there is reason, we understand such things, we, this society, we understand that without the help of some officials, without the help of power structures, that is, such things simply cannot happen, and that is why i said that these things , which divide

society, because society then directs its energy exactly there, and we have somewhere to collect our energy. there is a place to concentrate energy, it is help to the front, help to internally displaced persons, and that is why i said that there should be a reaction of law enforcement agencies, it is not possible, we have to find who allowed it now that tender should be held and given to contractors for construction, and when we talk, for example, about okhmadit there is an amount of 300 million, then there is a memorial cemetery, and there is an amount of almost 2 billion, that is, it is a huge amount of money. and this money, if we are talking now about the okhmads, then this is money from ukrainians, which we all sent there to a charity fund, here are state funds, and we have state funds that we have nowhere to spend them, our front is fully equipped with drones, if this yes, if i'm wrong, then why do we collect, continue to collect on drones, repairing drones, why do we

continue to assemble and repair cars, that is, i will tell you, mr. andrii, that fortunately there are such people. like you, and your communities, and not only your community, who simply cannot do otherwise, and will collect, and repair, and guide, and support, and thanks to people like you and your communities, we will win this war, i thank you very much, i still have a question, but i think we will talk again, it will not be the last time we meet on the air, because i would like to talk about the harvest and about helping displaced people, unfortunately, time is limited, i wish you success and i believe that we will meet again and talk about these topics as well, and thank you again for your work and for your position, it is very important. andriy lavrus, deputy of the kropylnytsia district council, was in touch with us, well , it was really nice to talk to a person who understands the pros and cons, where is right and where is wrong, and when you see such deputies, you understand, well, cool, this right, when people have a clear understanding of where it is not, where it stinks, and they are ready to do something about it it stinks, does it stink in russia, well

, the question is rhetorical, of course, but now we will actually talk about this story, about the russian stench ivan us, candidate of economic sciences, mr. ivan, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, mr. vasyl, i congratulate all the viewers tv channel, i could so poetically ask what is currently stinking in the ukrainian economy, betrayal, defeat, a sense of something bad, but i will not somehow add to the metaphors here, i will simply ask there was a report by the head of the russian central bank, elvira nabibulina, who.. . told about the state of affairs in general, well, in the banking system and in the russian economy, the expectation that they will collapse, collapse and immediately everyone will die in russia, well, i mean financially, economically, it would be naive, but also to say that they can fight another 150 million years, also, probably naively, please evaluate professionally, i will not even

get confused, because i am not an economist, financier, or banker, but you will evaluate professionally and give an estimate based on the average temperature in the... room of the russian economy, you know, there was once such a saying, whenever i woke up and asked, and what is there in russia, the answer will be one, they steal there, that's how i said these words, ugh, that's saltakov sidrin, and now the state of russia stinks about what they started with, and about the russian economy, you know, yes now there are certain statements in the field of sehibzadovna nebilina, but you know... these statements are not something so new, if we now go back in time a little to july of last year 2023, there was a report actually. of the central bank of russia, and there was such a phrase that the main problem of the russian economy is that growth is reflected in production goods and services that are not related either to

consumption or to investment, which actually lies behind this phrase, that when in russia they talk about the growth of the economy, this growth does not actually affect the lives of citizens or create prospects for improving this life in in the future, that is, an elementary example, if russia produced 10 tanks there, the next month it produced 30 tanks, then it turns out that the growth will be three times, but if these 30 tanks are knocked down, then this growth will be multiplied by zero, and the population russia will not feel it, but at the same time, due to the fact that this growth is taking place, accordingly , certain money is printed, as they say, in response to this growth, which is directed to people who pro... military industry, but now it is not only for biullina, many russian officials talk about the overheating of the economy, what is the overheating of the economy, it is when

a lot of money is created that is not backed by real goods, that is, people have money, but there is nothing to buy with this money, and it turns out that the russian economy, it faces this problem, and a similar situation, it can only push. you know, three months ago there was such a legal forum in st. petersburg, and there the same annebilina spoke and said the phrase that the planned inflation in russia is 4%, now she is already saying that there is 7%, but experts who analyze the russian economy, as they say, they are not positionists, but they are not about the kremlin either, they say that the fact that inflation will be double-digit is a fact, because first of all we see... that already in the queue, to things, in the sixth the discount rate was raised to 18%, this is not a record, let me remind you that after the start of a full -scale war, there was 20%, after which

they sharply reduced it, but then there was, as they say, a quick reaction, and they managed to solve the problems, but it was not the rate that solved these problems, but the fact that the west was not ready to launch sanctions in full, and now, when these sanctions are starting to take effect little by little, and russia , thinking that then... it helped, is starting to increase this discount rate again, but again well, it doesn't help, because as they say again russian economists, who are not so pro-government, that if your discount rate does not stop inflation, it means that your inflation is higher than the discount rate, that is, we can first say that inflation there can be quite close to 20%, and as for the age-old question, how many reserves are there in russia, let's count it like this, the national welfare fund...

it will be easier that way, because actually there they keep the exchange rate up to 92 rubles to the dollar, but we understand that, by the way, one of the problems of the russian economy, is that the ruble exchange rate it became a fiction when you... i will intervene sometimes, you will forgive me, i just remember the soviet times, because i am from the 70s, then the dollar exchange rate, then the ruble, the dollar cost 65 soviet kopecks, and that's why it was also a very cool course, but you simply couldn't buy currency for the first time if you didn't have a permit to go abroad, but the course was very cool, i'm up to the point that it 's already happened, it's already happened, yes, but i will add, well , i hear something... yes, but then let's talk about the black exchange rate of the ruble for the

soviet ruble on the market, and it was 20 ruble for one dollar, that is, the official 60 there are 5-7 kopecks, on the black market there are 20 feedlots at once, this is to understand that in fact there was one economy that was reported on, and another economy that was in real life, and this gap. economy, among other things, he also influenced the fact that the soviet union, as they say, disappeared from history, because there were big problems with the economy, and now, by the way, the trajectory is repeating itself, you know, i also remember very well, when my mother had a lot of soviet rubles in her book, well , my father had quite a lot too, but to buy with them you couldn't do anything special, well , you could buy, people bought some furs, gold, whoever wanted to invest money, but basically buy. you couldn't buy a wide range of consumer goods, even though you had rubles, but why were you paid 220, someone 120, someone 250, someone 500, well, there will be different salaries, but that's it.

this, as i say, of course, it will not be repeated, because that was a different story, and now there is a story when russia, despite the huge loss of profits by gazprom, continues to sell gas and oil, still, according to your sober assessment, it can be a black swan, it can come from anywhere and something so unexpected will happen, it can always be like a disappearance, well, now they say, it was arranged by sausages from the shelves in moscow, that led to protests, anything can happen, we understand this absolutely, but... if we look soberly at the situation and at the rate of trade with russian partners, not only with partners, they trade with the west, which are currently maintained, how much money will russia have for a great war, i do not say that they are in general, they will stop, but for a big war, as far as this money is enough for them, i understand that economic conditions for russia and foreign markets will not be better for them, of course, you know, when we talk about gas, about gas trade with russia, we must

remember , that... china now says that they are ready to buy more gas from russia on one condition, that russia will sell them gas at the domestic price, and i will remind you that gas in russia is subsidized, that is, it is below the cost price, it turns out like this, that is china wants, or rather, russia says it is ready to buy below the cost price, which will mean a loss for russia, and as for how much money is enough, well, there is only 4.6 trillion rubles in russia's fnb. in june , russia took 453 billion rubles from this fnb, well , almost there, let's round it to half a trillion, that is, if russia is further, here we are now literally receiving data for the month of july for several days, but if we consider that russia takes half a trillion per month, then it turns out 10 months, it will already be 5 trills, that is , there are no 5 trills in russia, that is, 10 months is that

period. which we can give to russia, because it is a year already too much, and both, and this despite the fact that we use data from the ministry of finance of russia, this is important because many experts say that they give unreliable data, so we cannot be 100% sure what they contain there are these 4.63, you know, mr. ivan, i am glad to talk to you, because i am listening to a smart person who adequately assesses the situation, because these videos on youtube of individual bloggers, tv channels happened, i will be ukrainian, a terrible, terrible thing happened , russia's economy is falling, putin learned something terrible, the economy has two days left, and that's it naive people listen, read, think, so why isn't russia falling, why are they? no, there is a certain process that goes on, but here is your assessment of the year, the same intensity, i agree with it somewhere, and we literally have a moment of time, i will ask how we should live, because you know what they say, while the fat man loses weight, thin and die, our situation is not easy either, although we have support from our partners, but now

we have to get a grant. 3.9 billion dollars of the united states of america, but the war also consumes huge resources, mobilization, and people fights more, well, that is, it is not easy for us either, how can we maintain parity approximately, we literally have 50 seconds, but also what to do, how, what are our chances, the first thing is not to quarrel with our partners, because we are very dependent on them, and if our partners are telling us to do something, we need to listen, as far as the domestic economy is concerned, well, now everyone is talking about raising taxes, you know, i partially agree, because we have a problem... the us has a negative balance of trade in goods, it must be reduced partly due to the increase in taxes for cars, cars are imported from us, therefore the figure will decrease, and as for the other steps, well, it is definitely difficult, but that does not mean that it is impossible, so it is realistic to look for opportunities, how can the already adapted economy, by the way, do even better and i do not think that it is impossible, that is why here there are also certain resources for the future, instead of collapsing with partners, do you

mean at least coming... to meet with mrs. pritzker, who came to kyiv, or what exactly? including ms. pritzker to meet, and if the partners say that you have a problem here, then don't say no to shrug it off, and say we understand, customs, yes customs, and not tell that you don't know there, they know and they even knew where the attack was being prepared, as it turned out later, that is, our partners have very financially powerful and professional intelligence, thank you very much for... under this state of affairs , russia can hold on at this rate for less than a year, well, we have to hold on, and now about the news in just a moment, good evening, we are from ukraine.
