that under these conditions, the european union does not have time to produce weapons, as the russian federation does, which, first of all, now has hot production lines of weapons, while in europe they have been shrinking for ten years, because after falling, well, here we must always remember about such a banal thing, defense business is business, defense industry is industry, and what happens to bides with industry, when there are no orders, it... shrinks, both enterprises and people shrink, and the volume of production, and when you are not you have been ordering weapons for 20 years, it is quite difficult to expect that you will give me 100 tanks a year, no, sorry, maybe 50, but you could produce 350 leopards there in cold times, the second, well, these are real numbers, the production of leopard tanks -2 in germany in the late 80s, 350 per year, there was a peak of 450, now under... and why, because there was no

order, the same reason why there are now problems with the production of ammunition in europe, because in france since 2007, if i am not mistaken, there has been no production of gunpowder, in principle, and now with heroic efforts it production was returned and resumed in 2024, in denmark also at the end of the 1990s, the only enterprise that produces... any ammunition in general was closed, now a tender has been announced for its restoration, er, the restoration of production is planned somewhere at the level on the 25th, 26th, on the 25th, only the tender must be completed, close, stop production, it is much easier to disperse people than to restore and start producing something, and now the european union, of course, invests money, but objectively not in at the pace that is needed. not in that

volume and with huge delays due to internal political and bureaucratic processes, which are again related to the lack of demand from society. i still have one question then, because you mentioned mainly the european union, today cnn also wrote that the military aid packages from the united states to ukraine are also being reduced, because the pentagon is concerned about reducing its own stockpiles, how seriously could this also affect on capacity. the situation of the armed forces is trickier there, it is necessary to understand that defense aid from the usa is coming for, well, it follows two programs: the first is a presidential withdrawal, when weapons are withdrawn from stockpiles and sent to ukraine. the second is a program when weapons are ordered, it is a program to promote the defense capability initiative of ukraine, in saia, and for it weapons are ordered from manufacturers. the point is that really. the balance between these two

programs has long shifted to usai, i.e. weapons are ordered from manufacturers, at the same time the pda program, it directly, i.e. prizyden withdrawals, it directly depends on the ability of the american defense industry to restore what is transferred to the armed forces, these are unrelated processes, and now ukraine is in any case moving to receive weapons that are completely new, because there are really huge problems with the stocks. all the more so because the usa, looking at europe, and the transfer of which also in washington, china in general, understands that in order to fight, you need to have reserves, so now ukraine really has to, and we understand everything, to switch to the very new weapons , which is supplied, and somewhere at the level of the 25th year, exactly that will be poured weapons that were ordered back in the 22nd and 23rd years. that is, because there are technological

cycles of arms production, they are usually annual, that is, what was ordered in the 24th year will be provided in the 25th, 26th years, this must also be understood, therefore, yes, therefore, if the critical situation regarding , which will be shortened, and one program will be shortened, well, if we take what happened in the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th years, then there will be a reduction of the pda program, but... again, ukraine by volume he will receive approximately the same amount in cash quantity, but at the expense of the usa program. uh, in any case, even what is already ordered for ukraine, it will be delivered by the 27th of the year, even the 28th, it's just according to the current contracts, the fulfillment of which has already been paid for. the prospects are far. olezhe, i have one last question, now there is a lot of talk at the level of the ukrainian authorities, and not only ukrainian, but... the authorities of the united states

of britain are talking about giving permission to ukraine to use western missiles against targets in russia. we now see that there is no solution. the british said that until the americans give permission, we will also not allow our missiles to be used in washington . in such a short term, and would it in any way affect the situation at the front, which is very complex, it will definitely affect, and it is about the fact that it is necessary to get the appropriate permission, the appropriate toolkit, and this toolkit should have quite high impact ranges, because and in general to shoot the scene is logical, really a... logical and not human, not a human limitation, at least for one's own safety, that is, we talked about the fact that the european union there directly says that it cannot keep up with the pace of production of urf weapons, but it's clear he will not have time, because he does not do much, and secondly , the russian federation can now produce weapons in hothouse

conditions, scale up production, build new workshops, hire new workers, make them work for rations, for food cards there conditionally, this is in still ahead of her. days a week, she can do that, why? because no one beats these enterprises. well , it's kind of strange, if to complain about the fact that the russian federation warns us, but understandably does not work, not to put sticks in the wheels of the russian military industry, which is already preparing for war with the european, well, european segment of nato. well, give ukraine the appropriate toolkit, the appropriate permission, and we will hit russian enterprises, this is a completely legitimate military target.. oleg, thank you very much, oleg katkov, editor-in-chief of defense express, was on radio liberty, thank you. well, now about russian fakes, which are an integral part of russian aggression. now we'll take a look, we'll show you a more precise picture and look at it carefully, here it is, maybe you've seen it

on social networks before, it's on the x network, it's the former twitter, elon musk posted it in october last year. this meme about volodymyr zelensky was seen by his multi-million audience, and the text in english... it says: when 5 minutes have passed and you haven't asked for a billion dollars of help, then it's a fake and it was made in russia, specifically, and such russia makes hundreds of fakes every day, this is part of russian propaganda and we always knew that russian propaganda is everywhere, but now we know a little more details and the inner kitchen of this so-called propaganda factory, look at these pictures, you must have seen them before in on social networks, maybe even liked or reposted, if not, then that's very good, so you know, these... these pictures were also created by russia, in particular by one russian office, it's called the social design agency, this agency is under with the sanctions of the usa and the european union and the approval of american law enforcement officers, he works on behalf of the administration of the russian president, well, in fact, he is supervised by the kremlin. journalists got access to the internal

documents of this agency, there was a leak, first the internal documentation fell into the hands of german journalists, who in turn involved journalists from other countries and from ukraine in the work of the agency. journalists studied rfe/rl's scheme program, they examined thousands of files and found that the agency uses disinformation to discredit ukrainian leaders, citizens, western politicians who support ukraine. the agency carefully investigates the information field of ukraine, identifies sensitive topics and uses them for destabilization. for example, such sensitive topics include mobilization, casualties on the battlefield, restrictions on freedom of speech during martial law, and reductions in military aid. corruption, counteroffensive, or, for example, the illustration you see now, it was supposed to contribute to the division of ukrainian society into those who support president volodymyr zelenskyi and those who will support the former the head of azsu valery zaluzhny. what else did the journalists investigate, what conclusions can or should be drawn from this story in ukraine,

let's talk now, maksym savchuk, journalist-investigator of the scheme project, co-author of this investigation, maksym, good evening, joins the broadcast. good evening. your investigation is called. nicknames, memes, the register of fakes and good news, how the kremlin's disinformation agency works, i quoted it like that, if anyone is interested, take a look. maxim, what are the main conclusions you made for yourself as a result of this work? well, what many suspected and thought as i did, everything has come true, that is, that russia is systematically working in the ukrainian information field, inventing fakes and incitement. people before the split, before the rivalry, these files that we received, they absolutely confirm this whole story, because we saw and were able to follow how the brainstorming of creating fakes goes in general, how

theses that are currently relevant in society are discussed, how to create a file called dobrorealnost, where the participants of this conference take turns. sketch ideas, how would it be better to discredit someone, or which lie would be better to throw in, and already in the following files we see the implementation of these ideas in the form of articles, caricatures, pictures, memes, comments, and all the rest, and we continue to find files in which all these things are already thrown into the information space, where we see links to comments and posts in ukrainian social networks, on fake sites, clones, in the english-speaking segment, in the german-speaking segment, that is, that russia creates fakes and plays on the information field in... ukraine and is trying to influence ukrainians and

europeans, and even citizens of the united states of america, because one of the fakes, as we found out, was later repeated by one of the congresswomen from the republican party that children are stolen in ukraine and then sold for organs in the territory of the european union, was also spread on the territory of the united states, that is, russia is actively involved in influencing... processes globally in the world, how well do these people who work at this factory of fakes feel about information the field of ukraine, because what you showed, they mainly take into account some topics there that are really painful, the counteroffensive or corruption or mobilization, these are really important topics, but how well they feel about them, for some, let's say, on some topics they are quite effective. work, that is, they take some fact that happened, for example, when the ministry of defense does not officially

comment on some fact that everyone is talking about, and people only guess what happened there, for example, on some direction, and in this information vacuum , the russians are throwing in fakes regarding, for example, the il-76 crash, about the fact that there is a document of the deputy minister of defense, which says not to comment, not to give comments, because there is something like... there are victims , and this fake is spreading, that is, here , here, they subtly feel the realities in which ukraine lives, when this happens, well, there is such a lack of official information, official explanations from the authorities, this is the perfect moment to throw in some lies, some kind of document, well, they use this, but there are examples when they frankly do not understand the situation, for example, in a company where they wanted to divide ukrainians into those who... are for zaluzhny and those who are for zelenskyi, there they have there was a campaign, but for the caveats, they

assigned to the support group people who did not support zelensky, or at least did not speak about it publicly, for example, that iryna farion is for zelensky there, relatively speaking, and klitschko and poroshenko are for the hard-working, there and and well, characters that are not at all they talked about their support, they actually threw in... they tried to promote it, but they made a lot of grammatical mistakes, first of all, they mistranslated the syrian surname and forgot to translate the title from russian to ukrainian, so this fake was quickly dismantled, well, you understand and established where the feet of the workers came from, well, users of ukrainian social networks, this, for example, did not work, so we can say that there are both successes in this field, and shortcomings, especially in the part of translation, because we did not find a full-time translator from russian to ukrainian, they use google translator. and it's always not a very good story, because some words are translated wrongly or in a different context, and when this

is thrown in, it looks very funny, but the first thing i remembered was their thesis: there is no more urine to endure this flour, it must also from this opera, well, we didn’t find such a thing, but in my opinion there was another such example where it was translated quite funny, okay, i partially understood your conclusions, but i want you to repeat what conclusions from this story should do, should do ukrainian. the authorities, primarily those who deal with ukrainian, those people who deal with ukrainian state communications? m, it seems to me that the ukrainian government, despite the current state of war, still needs to communicate more with the population, because where there is no official, official explanation or position or anything else, this is simply a great situation for that , to shake up the mood at this very time. to throw lies into society, to try to divide ukrainians, the russians use this very well, and this factory

lying uses this first of all, that is , it is worth being open, if there is no information, maybe it is worth saying that at this moment we cannot give information, but we will give it to you in the near future tomorrow, the day after tomorrow for sure, but don't get carried away , here, here, we explain everything to you, this will be a better communication than just being silent, because the russians use it, for ordinary people... a lot of information is thrown in the guise of social surveys conducted by reputable institutes, fake infographics and that's all the rest, it's worth going to... what sources these institutions look at, whether these surveys were really conducted, because there can also be manipulation here, and look, check the sources they refer to, because sometimes these sources, primary sources, do not have what what they write about on tv is what journalists do, more often ordinary people do it, but i mentioned here that when the tragedy happened in poltava, six hours passed before the ukrainian authorities came out with some

official comment, and this is the time that was completely used by russian propaganda, thank you very much, maksym savchuk, 15% in pharmacies plantain bam and savings. fm. galicia listen to yours. in september, there are discounts on motororyx. 10% in podorozhnyk bam and oschad pharmacies. in september, there are discounts on nephrobam. 10% in podorozhnyk-bam and oskad pharmacies. in the latest

of america program chas time is on the air, i'm yuliya yarmolenko, congratulations. the presidential campaign in the united states resumes its usual pace after a possible second attempt on the life of one of the candidates of former president donald trump. on tuesday , donald trump will speak to voters for the first time since sunday's incident. he has a town hall scheduled for tonight in michigan, hosted by his former spokeswoman and current arkansas governor, sarah huckabee sanders. meanwhile , democratic candidate and incumbent vice president kamela harris is currently in pennsylvania, where she has a scheduled interview with the national association of black journalists. the conversation will take place live. about the latest the events of the presidential campaign, their impact on the race and potential support for ukraine. let's talk with my colleagues ostap yarysh, who is monitoring the campaign of donald trump. and maria ulyanovska, who covers the campaign of kamela garis. colleagues congratulations. congratulations. ostap, this is what the second attempt on the life of presidential candidate donald trump looks like. does

the incident change the rhetoric and direction of the trump campaign, or should we expect an attempt to reduce the level of tension? julia, absolutely, we're seeing new messages now from the donald campaign trump and in fact, these messages now, they are very similar to the rhetoric that we 've heard before from democrats about the radicalization of the country. in trump's headquarters, they are talking about... and partly blaming the democrats for these attempted assassinations, that their rhetoric allegedly encouraged and encourages violent actions, radical actions. and donald trump in his message, he mentioned kamalagariz's accusations against him during the debate, he mentioned the court cases that are currently ongoing against him, all this the former president says, inflames ukraine hatred, incites hatred towards him personally in ukraine and also incites people to violence. he wrote that they are flying because of this communist leftist rhetoric. and it's only going to get worse, jaydy vance, the republican vice-presidential candidate, is also saying this at his rallies, one of which was held today in sparta

, michigan. addressed the stage to the audience and also to perhaps supporters or representatives of the democratic party, he said that it is time to remind the democrats, it is time to remind the media, to all those who have demonized or has been censoring donald trump for the past 10 years, that it's time to stop before someone gets kissed, that's the kind of words jaydy vance picked up, commenting on this situation, in turn, he also spoke about the current president, donald trump, jr., he said , that he had to explain to his five children, about why, as he put it, left-wing radicals want to kill their grandfather, said donald trump, jr., that no one in america should do that, so yuli looks like that, really now message new that try republicans use in their rhetoric, and partly blame these assassination attempts on donald trump, partly blame the democratic party, their rhetoric, that's what we've been hearing

in recent days, julia, maria. in the immediate aftermath of the incident, kamela harris called on all americans to do everything in their power to prevent further violence, and what she is doing for her part, for her part as vice president, and what we know about how this incident can potentially affect the dynamics of the survey public opinion? so, yuli, it should be said that kamela harris immediately condemned the second assassination attempt on donald trump, literally today she repeated it again, she said that politically ... violence of any kind is unacceptable, she called donald trump personally and said she's glad he's okay and also said we all need to say enough is enough, we need to have a dialogue with each other even if we don't agree with each other, and by calling donald trump, she showed her own an example of how to do it, how to communicate with people who have different political views than you. in addition to this biden, joe biden yesterday in philadelphia also

called. reduce the flames of mutual intolerance and hatred, he said that there is no place for political violence in america, it does not solve anything, it tears the country apart, we must prevent it and not give it oxygen. julia, we have been reporting for a long time that the polarization of american society is a very big problem indeed. 70% of voters, both in the democratic headquarters and in the headquarters republicans consider this election to be historic and the most important in their lives , and they believe that their candidate will save the country, save democracy, and this is the new reality of americans. politics, and we see that it is reaching its peak, people on both sides of the barricades are talking about the need to lower the level of political discourse, discussion, it is necessary to lower this flame of mutual hatred, mutual accusations, but do we see that really donald this time, trump reacted to this attempt in a completely different way than to the previous one, which was in july, then he called for unity, for a truce between the two headquarters, now we see that he blames his opponents and

the democrats against him... and they reproach him with this, they say that he is the one who is fanning the flames of hatred, yes karin zhang literally just said in a briefing that the democratic staff has never used the kind of language that donald trump's staff is using, and democratic observers are saying that even this case is being used by trump for his own benefit, but yulia, it's also interesting that the democrats turn to their own political issues after this second attack, particularly the issue of gun control, they are saying that it needs to be stopped and are even... proposing to pass legislation to protect donald trump. yuli, even though there was a second of this assassination attempt on donald trump, this time the democrats didn't stop their political campaign, it just shows that the stakes are very high right now. according to polls, another 4% of voters are undecided about who they will vote for, and both candidates are now competing for the votes of those voters. ostapy, due to the fact that the suspect in the assassination wrote a lot about ukraine, expressed

his support. this aspect is actively covered by the american media, is there a threat that this accidental association may negatively affect the attitude towards ukraine among trump's voters? yulia, even when these news are presented to the media in an impartial and fairly balanced way, we still very often see in the same sentence the suspect of an attempt on donald trump and supporters of ukraine, so one way or another, this obviously creates a certain associative series in people who these news read, we know. that often people don't go beyond the headlines, yulia, we know that the fbi is currently investigating and investigating the motives, potential motives for the suspect and also investigating his statements about ukraine, we have heard about this in the official statements of the fbi, but some are already telling yulia that these motives may have been related to rain's views.
