i would not talk about the word now, i would not use the word competition now at all, we understand and know the procurement mechanisms, and if it is purchased with foreign funds for the needs of the ukrainian army, then we must understand those who pay this money, so we, personally, and our company, of course, support such purchases, we want to get more equipment that will destroy the enemy, so we both... with our hands, we have something to compare with, we have years of experience in operation, we have sometimes something to grow to or what to compare it to, that's why i personally have a very positive attitude to such purchases, are there any fundamental technical solutions there, nodal elements, which would not hinder us at all, if foreign partners share with us, in particular, there are management systems, secure communication systems , other things, is there a need for this? as regards secure

communication systems and so on, foreign partners, when they see such a need and opportunity, they do not directly contact the manufacturers, but through the ministry of defense, through the armed forces to share such technologies, that is why our partners are quite open to us, and it is not necessary to ask about the actions of the enemy, because the enemy is also making efforts related to the creation of russian robotic platforms in... are there any trends, things that, that we should be paying attention to in terms of certain dangers or challenges, whatever, how would you rate that and answer that question? well, i will repeat again that we definitely cannot underestimate our enemy, the enemy is moving as well as we are in the direction of developing new robotic systems, and the enemy is standing in...

more, he creates them on various platforms, the enemy invests enormous funds in this at the state level, but i want to say that we are definitely not worse, we definitely have nothing to imitate the enemy, we there are western partners who are much more technologically advanced than the enemy, so ukraine will win and the truth will be behind us, that's for sure, i would like to ask a technical solution, why did you make bets. precisely on the caterpillar, and not on the wheel when creating a robotic platform, because not all companies decide on this, well the track actually has better passability, considering the weight and dimensions of our platform, we needed such passability and exactly such a configuration of the drive, the track itself is not the only and not the most complex element that we had to use in our platform. for us, a much more

complex element is the actual hydraulic transmission drive developed by our company to drive this track, but this is a separate topic for conversation. and from the point of view of technical parameters, maintenance reserve and the maximum load that this platform can carry move on the battlefield? well, the parameters are quite relative, because we can take different species as a basis. surfaces, if we are talking about a solid surface, then the platform is able to move a ton of cargo there and transport it 20-25 km. if we are talking about cross-country , depending on the form of cargo attachment, on the shape of the terrain, it can be a weight of up to 300 kg, that is, just the idea and understanding of cross-country can vary greatly from place to place, it can be swampy areas, heavily flooded plots, and accordingly the possibilities of passing through it. techniques can be complicated or

limited, this technique is far from perfect, its possibilities are unlimited, actually the possibilities of study, the possibilities, sorry for the technicality of this technique, will allow you to use this technique as effectively as possible. mr. igor, what is the main task you set for your team this year to increase the production of these platforms, which are already known to the military, or to create something else in... this robotic field? unfortunately, it seems likely to us that robotic machinery, esp this type of platform is unlikely to happen as a game changer, sorry for the buzzword in this war, so we do not consider it appropriate to massively increase a certain, certain production of some type of equipment, because we, like most ukrainian manufacturers, do not fully understand yet on... the full efficiency

of the use of such vehicles, therefore our team will focus on the production and development of new ones, or on this platform in the form of a robotic one. equipment or completely different types of robotic equipment, usually small in general, we will produce all types of equipment, but the focus and our main emphasis will be on the development of actually similar, well , not dissimilar, functionally different, but robotic unmanned platforms, improving their navigational capabilities, their anti- rem capabilities and their use he... different situations, mr. igor, thank you very much for what you do for our armed forces, so that they can rely on technological solutions, i will remind our viewers that it was igor tchaikovsky, the head of the robotics project complexes, this team developed the ant robotic platform, which is already in use on

the battlefield, now we see that there will be other projects behind the ant that will be more effective compared to the challenges that exist on the battlefield today, here are the main conclusions this day, and more political and economic news later on vasyl zima's big broadcast, so stay tuned to the espresso channel. thank you very much, serhiy zgruts, thank you to his guest, here are some news that should be announced right away, radben is going to meeting regarding ukraine, it is interesting that it will be possible to meet there. russian resources announced about... an attempted breakthrough of the armed forces of ukraine into the belgorod region, we will talk about this today, i hope with ponomarov's idea, and ukrenergo admitted that yesterday's attack on energy facilities in ukraine was the largest attack during the entire period of the full-scale invasion, that is, from february 24, 2022, and tonight was

continued, the war continues and our soldiers need our help as well. the espresso tv channel and the vesna charitable fund are open. very important fundraising for the purchase of modern drones and electronic warfare systems for the third separate assault brigade, as well as for the 110th and 47th mechanized brigades of the armed forces of ukraine. defenders of donetsk region every day hold back enemy attacks, defend our freedom and future, give, unfortunately, both health and the most precious life, and it is this equipment, it should first of all help preserve the priceless lives of our soldiers, and also in. .. to strike the enemy, because these are the wars that stood to the last and defended the avdiiv direction in the spring, when it was very difficult, when the enemy pressed from all sides, tried to create cauldrons, then it was possible to get out with incredible efforts. the brigades urgently need flying weapons and modern means of countering enemy drones. our goal is ambitious, but

real, 3.5 million hryvnias. every donation you make is important. get involved. you can see all the details on the screen and listen to our defenders. 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 bpols, the enemy and drones of the comikat, we really ask for your help, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, so please join me, i will ask my colleagues under... me somewhere closer to the end of our geter, as we have already managed to collect, but i know for sure that there was an amount, well, closer to 2 million, maybe and maybe, well, later i will say a more adequate amount that will correspond to the real situation regarding this

collection, now we will talk to olea ponomerov, deputy of the state duma of the russian federation in 2007-2016, panel, i congratulate you, good evening, a few important things. which we will discuss, well, let's start with the events from the statements of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi, he said that actually repeating, or confirming what was said before in the kremlin, but not repeating, precisely confirming that now some subject for there are no negotiations with putin, in your opinion, when can this subject, not with putin, but with russia in general , appear, and why is it the same now. significantly and both sides, well, the side that is currently defending and attacking, and at the same time the aggressor side, say that no, it cannot be, as if there should have been negotiations before that, please, well, here is such a thing that putin is actually is very interested in these negotiations, because he cannot win, and i believe that he is

more or less aware of this, and he needs to somehow announce his victory, well, first of all for... dear russians and tell them that these are the goals we set for ourselves, we achieved them, and you can stop this, this svo and go further. er, but, er, there is no such sign here, through which it is possible to come to an agreement with ukraine, because ukraine is not interested in this at all, and any negotiations that may be possible now for mr. putin, for ukraine - it is, well, obviously a defeat, and, well , there, even there, a certain part of society is in front of the kurdish operation there. she started to hesitate there, but now we see that we

can win, and this is solely a matter of our political and military strategy, i think that we just need to realize that the only way to victory is destruction of the russian empire, the destruction of this regime, the destruction of putin, and this is exactly what we need to direct our... in our steps, well, we see that putin to the failures of his, his army, his military and political leadership, because from the fact that i heard and read, well , they allegedly tried to explain to putin that there is a threat from the ukrainian side, but of course, the system of the dictatorship is built in such an authoritarian way that you will never say what the master does not want to hear, and actually now the situation is difficult for russia on... kurshchyna today the russian public is already writing about the fact that it is alleged that the armed forces of ukraine tried

to break into belgorod oblast, well, here i think it is not worth commenting, we will have to find out there, and in response to this, putin struck the largest blow during the entire period of a full-scale invasion of energy facilities, in your opinion, understanding maybe the logic, if it has not changed so much lately in the direction of some disease, the logic of the kremlin. what was putin trying to achieve and do you think he is sitting and thinking now, well, actually, what they wanted, they achieved it, but they are sitting without light, well that's it, and what's next, please, well, of course, the logic here is to take revenge, and the logic is to force the political leadership of ukraine to give up and leave the territory of the kurdish region, but we understand that... this will not happen, and in all these attacks on the energy

infrastructure, there is one such question that they will not hit the nuclear power plants there, well here it is simply that this will provoke such a powerful backlash around the world eh, and that is why putin will not do this, and this determines , that there , well, half of the energy consumption in ukraine will always have it, there will be a problem from the point of view of the so-called maneuverable capacities there, and that is exactly what they are trying to destroy, but here i would say that it is interesting that they were not only in terms of energy, but also in terms of gas supply facilities, in terms of infrastructure through. .. what kind of gas goes to europe, here is an interesting question, well, on the one hand, it is clear

that they want to destroy the underground storage there, as well as so that the country does not have any natural gas warehouses there in the winter, well, that’s it this is a very serious problem from the point of view of gas export for itself of russia coding, what they themselves think about it, but it is very interesting. but i think, first lukashenko and possibly the threat from belarus, let's talk about kurshchyna now, and we will have time there, because lukashenko made another statement, speaking at the republican pedagogical council, about the fact that he is being offered to take the side of ukraine, ukraine in the war against the russian federation, there is an interesting quote from him, one is interesting, but let's talk about it later, now about kurshchyna. and you are that politician, we discussed with my colleagues, i said my personal one

thought that if i were to choose a russian, one who could perform certain political functions or administrative functions in the territory that is currently under the control of ukrainian troops in the kursk region, then it would be you, because you are here with us, the shaheds are coming for you and you became unambiguously for the age of ukraine. now i want to hear your opinion: firstly, how do you rate all of them? from what we know, i think you know more, but from what you can tell, the reaction of the population, how the population is provided, how it affects public opinion in general in russia, whether or whether it... somehow influence, and are you ready to lead the government in kurshchyna in particular, if the question comes to that, because it is clear that ukraine will not annex russian territory to itself, well, probably yes, but, but please, yes, look, first of all everything, i believe that what is happening in khernen is very important for ukraine and in general for victory in this line, and because first,

first we... on the territory, we can influence the internal situation in russia, for the first time we can build an alternative to putinism and prove to russia that this alternative exists at all, but for ukraine now has such a very difficult choice, because... there is pressure from the united states there, from the side that says that it should be perceived exclusively as a buffer zone, well, remember, our previous experience there in afghanistan, when we had to get used to going, and

then what to do with such power structures that you will form in the controlled territories, take it as a buffer zone temporarily, and then there is an exchange for something for something, and this slows down this situation a lot, i do not believe at all in any negotiations and exchanges and such a cease-fire are certainly there and that this is simply the only way to victory in... this war, and if we are talking about victory, then of course it is necessary to create proper authorities in these territories, well, the authorities of the russians, who are allies of ukraine, and who will do it in partnership and under the supervision of ukraine, as for me personally, of course i believe

that it would be wrong if a person from other regions of russia, and i was a representative of novosibirsk for many years in moscow, a representative of siberia, it would be wrong if we do we, we can build it, and the group of people's deputies was created from the very beginning in order to build this new government, new legislation, new rules of the game, new law enforcement, conduct a lustration, well and and and and all that other stuff, but there are people just from kurshchyna and they is included. svizd people's deputies, we know many people who can be there directly, and we need to create self-government there now, we can do it, many deputies of the congress are ready to advance to the territory of kurshchyna even tomorrow, the main thing is that ukraine needs it, so that the ukrainian political leadership said that this is how we want it, that is, in order for

you to start engaging in active political-administrative activities of the armed forces. ukraine together, perhaps with the russians, who will join, have to go beyond the urals, the whole task, as they say, is clear, to reach novosibirsk, well, that’s right, i’m not kidding, by the way, we can’t predict what might happen next and what could be the processes, by the way, as for the processes, in your opinion, well, we are now seeing the insights of individual, as their they call cotton wools who say, what about us, today i watched a cut of a video from one of the youtube channels of such pro-ukrainian, anti-putin, let’s say, but russian, and people also say that here... they lie on tv, it turns out that and it turns out this, and that is not true, and that is not true, and well , there are no nazis in well, in a word, some such epiphanies are happening locally, but in your opinion, what should still happen for some significant cracks to go into these in this monolith, well to the conditional monolith of the kremlin's moscow

domination over russia, so that some kind of the people's movement, the people's movement, this also means the army, because the army is also a people's movement, well, in fact... it happened again only without the october revolution with lenin, what happened in the 17th year in russia, and the movement the business elite, because individual statements, say, derepaski, were unambiguous in that everything is not going well, that is, there are statements, but what still needs to happen, again, in order for actions to begin, look, i don't believe in the people's movement right now in the dream of russia. do you not believe in the self-organized people's movement in russia now? yes i don't believe because people do not believe that they can change anything themselves. there are those from moscow inside russia, they are now very powerful, and even official sociology, it shows that

many people are against the central government, against putin, that is, they tolerate it because they do not see an alternative, which is why, by the way, it is so important that this alternative was created in the kurshchyna, but they are not ready to do something, now it is ours, so to speak... the target audience is the elites, the elites understand that this is a dead end, they understand that they are losing money, they understand that this is a danger, they understand that this war cannot be won, and it is they who can create a new rebellion there, go against, go against putin there, well, do something, in the people's movement, i believe after the changes, and i believe that you joked about the urals there and other things, we don’t need to go to the urals, we don’t even need to go there to tula, voronezh,

smolensk and other cities, we need to go exclusively to moscow , what mr. privozhyn did, he did because he knew what was needed to do in russia, we need to get to moscow, and what we are observing in... in kurshchyna, that no one will defend it, in general, no one there is ready to defend their territory, this is not ukraine, and we must strike at moscow, but it is necessary that it should be done there , first of all, by the legion of freedom of russia, other russian volunteer units, and it is necessary to grow them just a little so that they are able to do this, it is not so much that still needs to be done. to be in this direction, please tell me, if we are talking, let's talk about lukashenka, because it is important, now there is a certain group there, from what i read

from the military, we are talking about a group of approximately 1,000 belarusian army, plus there are wagnerites who are as close as possible to the borders with ukraine, and there was a statement from the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine that withdraw at a distance that does not allow you want to hit the ukrainian territory with the means you have of fire damage, well... and everything will be fine with you then, well, but again, the military says that it is impossible to talk about any kind of threat for the second time, because thousands how many people are there, well, it's not definitely not about the invasion, but lukashenko can play another role, the role of stretching and pulling ukrainian troops away from again the same kurdish direction or its expansion into russia or other directions that may be needed, where reinforcements may be needed, and so lukashenko said very, well, why am i talking about stretching. troops, because you can, say, move your groups to zhytomyr oblast, then to volhynia, then to kyiv, and of course there are our troops everywhere, but they also have to monitor this, instead of monitoring the hostilities,

and lukashenko could simplify our task as much as possible, but so far he does not simplify it, only complicates it, but he said a very important phrase, well, very symptomatic: lukashenko declares, this is what he did again statement during the republican pedagogical council, lukashenko declares that he is allegedly being thrown from the side, from the side. proposals, i quote: to spit on this russia and turn away from it, according to him, belarus cannot accept such proposals, but it is important here, by 99%. tell me please, well, he tells something about smalyansk there and so on and so on, why 99%, why not 125, like the results of his elections, please, well, look, i think it's worth paying attention to such things. this is just a futile matter, lukashenka has his own very clear and simple game, he does not want

to directly intervene in this war, he does not want to take any risks, he understands that putin's time is already numbered, he wants to outwit him, that's why... he attracted these nuclear weapons to its territory in order to look like a nuclear country and so that no one could remove him from the post of president there from the west, but i believe that the belarusians themselves will do it, well, but he hopes that it will protect him, i believe that all these maneuvers are near the ukrainian border there. of course, this is under pressure from moscow, and moscow is asking him, well, withdraw the troops, and he says, well, okay, i’m going to cross the border, i’m

not ready, but there to... rattle weapons, of course, that, that, that’s possible and this, they will do the same thing that the ukrainians will be forced to transfer their units there from other areas of the front there to the border with belarus, but of course, you want peace, you are preparing for war there, but i don't believe that lukashenko will actually cross the border there, and in general, i... think that he will play this game for a long time times, well , i will just remind you that before the beginning of full-scale tuesday, i don’t know how the situation is now, belarus had 40,000 armed forces, this does not mean only combat units, it is the total number of armed forces there, aviation, anti-aircraft, anti-aircraft troops, there are rocket troops, tank troops, well, that’s a total of 40 thousand, it’s clear that you even lost a plus how much ammunition they gave to putin when he started his so-

called battle for donbas there. what kind of troops are there now, what they have, what they are capable of, it is difficult to imagine, especially since the war has now progressed so much, and belarus simply will not have time to learn how to fight as it should, what i read from the ukrainian military , which are there on the line of the ukrainian border, well, they described in great detail what will happen, what will stop this russian invasion, but, well , again, there is a threat, it should not be minimized, but, well, reject it, but again anyway, to look at things more realistically, i would also like... this is a very important moment , the president of ukraine, on the one hand, ukraine says to our partners in the usa: give permission to strike with long-range weapons of the usa, in particular the attack mc, with ballistic missiles across the territory, deep into the territory russia, already from the territory of russia in actually different cassettes, non-cassettes, which will be needed there for the impression of airfields, logistics and many, many other things, well, or let's say in the proletarian one, where this oil depot burned for two weeks. and the usa

thinks and will think, on the other hand in the missiles that are now arriving in ukraine have new components manufactured specifically in the usa, and ukraine already has specialists who are investigating this supply chain, that is, they are also working on this, and sanctions can be imposed here, and this can also not be stopped completely, but slow down. please tell me what has to happen for the us to say yes, strike, or they will say strike, and we won't know about it, and here the president is saying all this. but ukraine has already tested the first ballistic missile, that is, even if you do not allow it, we already have it, or will push this is the usa still deciding that let's go and we will join, please, well , look, first of all, i think that it is necessary to strike first, and then make excuses, and i think that just as in the case of kursk, where no one

consulted there. because even our president frankly said that he understood that there would be no permission, and vice versa, that there would be resistance to this decision, which is why this kursk operation began at first, and then it turned out that the americans were not against it at all, but why they will be against, they are on the contrary, they want to join success, they don't want to... take risks, but any politician wants to join success, and that's why i think you should strike first, and then there won't be any problems, and that's about not only the essence of military operations there, but also such political steps, because it is the americans who forbid ukraine to create there...

authorities in these liberated territories of purshchyna, it is the americans who say that they do not want to destroy putinism, because they they believe that there will be a civil war, chaos there nuclear nuclear devices can get there various heathens and and and that this is an unpleasant risk for them, it is they themselves this whole process. slows down, but we need to achieve our own interests and , of course, pay attention to our american partners, because they are key partners for us, but understand that there simply will be no such resistance there at all, we must move forward, the israelis have said this many times, it is a famous famous solution there golden maire

who said that it is better. make excuses for what have you done than...
