of ukrainian production for the armed forces and about 400 million will be directed to ukrainian defense enterprises for the production of ukrainian equipment for the needs of the armed forces . in bilateral relations? the united states has declared that funds will be allocated for... the purchase of ukrainian weapons, even the wording is not that funds will be allocated for support of the ukrainian defense industry, ah, the last time we asked how exactly this mechanism will be implemented, uh , there was a question at a high level, we have not received an answer yet, uh, but i know that they are going through individual negotiations are separate. manufacturers

' associations regarding these issues, and perhaps from the american side we will see this mechanism at work, i actually do not see any obstacles for it, that is, it is money that would be allocated for ukrainian weapons, there are no sensitive issues here regarding the transfer of any secrets, although in principle there are documents between the countries that would allow it to be done, but... it is sensitive for the americans, at the same time it can be politically sensitive for them, especially before the elections, when money is allocated for the purchase of ukrainian weapons , rather than staying in the united states, as is the case up until now, really, the europeans are here rather, denmark is a rather unique case, it's a specific country, which in a good way is a specific country that...

does what it can in such even, well, i'm not i can say in an altruistic format, but this is really support that has little to do with just business, relatively speaking, i am not saying that other partners only do business, but they take into account the business component, yes, because everyone has an economy and everyone needs because if the economy of our allies weakens, it will not bring us anything good either. the danes, the danes are not a large industrial, defense-industrial country, first of all, you have to remember. therefore, we are very grateful to them for the fact that they found such a mechanism and send money for the purchase ours, our weapons, and in principle europeans today are more flexible in this sense. britain is quite actively working in this direction. therefore , i think we will see more such initiatives from europeans on... in the near future, mr.

pavle, your company, well, advises foreign companies, and primarily american companies that cooperate with our ministry of defense, are there any reservations from foreign partners regarding cooperation with the ministry of defense, especially against the background of the fiddling that the minister is currently doing of defense umerov, replacing his deputies and also trying to change the rules of the game in arms procurement with... reliance there on special exporters or on the defense procurement agency? any drastic and drastic changes, in my opinion, cannot have a positive impact on international relations with partners, because each project, under each mechanism, steps are being built. it is bureaucracy on both

sides, the american bureaucracy, it is no easier than ours, and the european one is even more so, so when certain steps, relations, relations are established, mechanisms are worked out with specific teams of people, these people initiate certain things, which are then implemented, and if there, for example, halfway they... break through, it definitely does not have a good effect, and we have already seen such stories have happened before, not only in the context of the ministry of defense, but also in other departments, so this is happening for some reason, although, let's say, i will not comment on the political aspect here at the moment, but the fact that drastic changes are certainly not ... do not

affect positively, but let's go to see what it will lead to realistically, because, let's say, uh, change is not always a bad thing, yes. that is, when something suddenly turns around and changes, yes, it causes certain difficulties in establishing new and communications, but it is also difficult to live without changes, and they can be both for the better, here the question is how this will be orchestrated and since it has been worked out, we already have such another problem as the lack, well, not consistency. the word, well, succession, it is probably called when a new team picks up the good of the previous one and develops it further, if it will happen, then great, but let's take a look at the changes that will or will not happen. mr. pavle,

thank you very much for the explanation, for the work you are doing to strengthen ukrainian-american defense-industrial cooperation, i would like to remind our viewers that it was pavlo verkhniatskyi, director and managing partner. xhosa company. these were the main water summaries of this day, then the broadcast will be continued by vasyl zima, so stay tuned to the espresso channel. thanks to sergiuets, thanks to his guest for the subject conversation i am from myself, well, from my team. although, i think, each of my colleagues will be able to do it on the air. i congratulate the defenders from them. good afternoon, i congratulate all those who are involved in the defense of our state, because thanks to you we live, the state exists and will exist, and although with great blood and great efforts this freedom and a chance to win is bought, but we understand that it is worth it

moreover, the most important thing, of course, is that society always appreciates it, appreciates it and gives its board, because in fact everyone who stood up for protection of ukraine, today we are all those... who support in the rear, we must, we cannot say that it is not, and it must be a mutual exchange of energy and resources, and therefore today those resources, let it be a special donation today, let today will be a special fundraiser on the day of defender and defender, let's raise a record amount for our soldiers, because it actually saves their lives and it destroys the enemy where possible, so the espresso tv channel and the vesna charitable fund continue to raise funds for the purchase of modern drones and... electronic warfare systems for the third separate assault brigade, as well as for the mechanized 110th and 47th brigades of the armed forces of ukraine. the defenders in the donetsk direction are holding back massive enemy attacks every day. they defend our freedom, our future, our lives, the lives of our children. it was these soldiers who

stood to the last and defended the avdiiv direction. in the spring, they are still standing today, protecting other directions, but they are still standing, as they say, as long as there is an order, or sometimes on... as long as there is life and opportunities, we collected 2 million uah 290.23, 2 uah 290.23, we need it 3.5 million, well, a little more and we will have only one million left, so let's donate and let us do more today than on other days, because today i will remind the day of defenders, defenders and defenders of ukraine. well, we start with a conversation with oleksandr samoilenko, the chairman of the kherson regional council. mr. oleksandr, i congratulate you. i congratulate you. happy holiday too, but i know that today is another rainy day in kherson, kherson region, the enemy attacked the city, the enemy continues to attack the region. russians

hit the market in kherson in the morning. i will not voice all the information that appeared during the day. let's talk about what is known about the dead and injured. what was the enemy fighting, because i read a lot of information about this, well, it is better to hear a professional opinion, and just at the end of the day, i think, more information, please, well, really, during the moment of silence, the memory of the dead ukrainians , the enemy insidiously struck from barrel artillery, according to experts, it was a tank, a very fast shot, which occurs from tank, taking into account that... well, let's say that our city and places where enemy equipment can approach there, it is very small, so the calculation is based on seconds, these are two or three seconds, which are necessary for the projectile from the tank to arrive and hit the civilian, this is

so much the market, this place, you know, in front of the market, the square, which is always crowded, because it is a big stop, which, well, for transferring people with... different types of transport, there are always people there, and clearly the enemy understood where he was hitting, why he was hitting, and for what purpose beats because the people who gather there. they are just gathering in order to sell some of their family, in order to trade for a couple of hryvnias, these are all elderly people, these are people who , well, let's say this, make a living from it, or, well, try to buy cheaper products there, which are there today in this, that is why it is a pure act of terrorism, it has nothing to do with war, it has nothing to do with humanity at all, it is terrorism that kills people and their goal is the destruction of the ukrainian people. information about six the dead, but there were also people who, as they say, were taken out of the other world in hospitals,

as of now this figure has not changed, and if there is information about the victims, how many there are, it really was the first time, the first time it was announced , that there are seven, seven dead, but fortunately our doctors did the impossible and brought back, let's say one woman from the other world, and today we have two for... women and four men there, well, that's a big number, but each life is worth its weight in gold, besides we have five wounded, who are now in a hospital, and one wounded, one wounded, who received injuries so light that they allow, well, let's say so, to be treated on an outpatient basis, she is there at her place of residence, but well, these are scary shots, because well, that's it human bodies that... that were mutilated by these projectiles, these are people who, well, clearly, they did not expect this, and you know, in addition to

the fact that for the last month, kherson has been terrorized with drops from these so-called helicopters, as they are already there name, quadcopters, and which ones they constantly fly over the regional center, they constantly fly to the liberated territory of the kherson region, today, let's say, was no exception. because somewhere at the end of the day , again in the village of kindiyka - this is the regional center, there was a drop on an elderly woman there , the woman was seriously injured, and i say that the enemy does not stop any of her attempts to destroy someone's destinies, to kill people, and again, this is all directed only in relation to the civilian population of that region and city, well, what i heard from my friends acquaintances at the front, a tank is a terrible force, in fact, a shot from a tank is also enough,

not that it is enough, it is a very dangerous thing, even more so, so i understand what they can be, well, we see, unfortunately, we see consequences, these are people not in the trench, somewhere not even in shelter, these are just people in the middle of the square, and well, i would also like to ask about the shelling, let's talk a little about the civilian infrastructure, well, the fact that the enemy constantly makes these drops is actual terrorism, you said it, almost every day they are killed or injured. people from these discharges, plus there ballistic missiles flew over the kherson region during the day, but the damage or destruction of educational institutions, health care institutions, these infrastructural power networks there and so on, how large-scale and painful it is now, as they say, how much it is now suspending operations and hitting the ability to provide people with services and... provide people to people to people with the necessary resources? well, you know, if

you allow me, i'll start from the end, no object of the keretic infrastructure stops work regardless of what is happening around or what else is happening in it? of course, schools are not working today and there is not a single educational institution in the territory, the unoccupied territory of the kherson region, that has not been shelled, whatever it was, at least... partially destroyed, as for medical institutions, they all have already dozens of airstrikes, this and, as you said, these are ballistic weapons that cause great destruction, this is barrel artillery, this is the discharges that take place in some areas of the city, this is in general, how do they alternately fly these quadcopters and try to catch the moment when either an ambulance approaches or, well , larger cars, they still... still hope that they will inflict a very, well, bigger -e such a damage to the living force

of the enemy, as they consider. to say that , the day before yesterday, three shuttle buses were destroyed that were working just in the city , and there, well, let's say this, the dump, it cannot cause such, well, serious consequences for a large bus, but this is the destruction of these cars, it's me again. repeat, this is terror, which applies in order to intimidate people, in order to force them to leave these territories, or, well, to try to somehow influence the authorities there through people. and there they can bargain for themselves some negotiating positions that they see for us in the future, so i will say once again that kherson region does not stop for a second, all people receive all the necessary medical services , all the services of electrical networks are received in full

water supply, well, now we are preparing for the winter period, as well as in... everyone is on the alert, even if there is a power outage there or some kind of supply of some service there, it is of a temporary nature, we are trying to eliminate it all as soon as possible, all these consequences, everything worked to make people feel that they are in ukraine, and ukraine always thinks for each of its citizens. thank you very much, mr. oleksandr, for your comments, thank you for your work, take care once again and happy holidays. day of defender of ukraine oleksandr samoilenko, head of the kherson regional council, the enemy struck today, well, this is preliminary information from a tank, we understand that a shot from a tank is not 20 km, there are five at most 4-3 km, there is a plus or minus, i don't great specialist, but from what i read, i know, we understand that targeted fire, although it is, well

, targeted fire, it is a hit on a place, a crowd of people, and you know, there were stories, i was told ... friends who are fighting, when people died, even without debris after a tank shot, the heart simply stopped, a shock of some kind striking minutes, i don't know what it's called, but it's just a fact that it's a war, it's very scary, and these weapons are also very scary, especially these are people who didn't wait, they stopped for a moment of silence, because today, until things, traffic stopped all over ukraine, i see in kyiv in lviv, a photo, on the day of defenders, and maybe even those who never stopped, although... this is usually practiced in ukraine at 9 o'clock in the morning , people stop and they commemorate those who did not live to see this day, because they gave their lives, and i say once again that you know, here you have to understand now both now and then, everyone who survives will have to understand who will be protected, the defenders, the defenders, we have to understand that we have to,

today we will talk with a special guest, in fact, i... i wanted to talk to him for a long time, we worked together, now i continue to be in the studio, and vitaly bakumenko, a junior sergeant, a correspondent of army tv at the front, and on the day of defenders of ukraine, it is with him that this conversation will be important. vitaliy, i congratulate you on the holiday and welcome you to the atelier. greetings vasyl, how are you? thanks to you and your brothers and sisters, we hold on, as they say, i won't be like that, you know. the questions you ask are detailed, i want, perhaps, more words for our community, for our viewers, but about the front, about life, about dreams, about those things that are remembered, about those things that you would rather forget right away, but now there is a lot of talk about the fact that, well , at least there were those words before, about the fact that there are issues with motivation, there is a lack of specialists who would

motivate, work with the psychological state of the soldiers, where you have been at the front for a long time... where are the soldiers actually find motivation and strength continue to fight and defend the state, if it doesn't sound pathetic, but that's actually why you're there now? well, vasyl, it is necessary to understand here, and it is a fact that it is already the 11th year of the war with the russian federation, and the third full-scale year, and it is true that many people, especially those who have been at the front from the very beginning, they start or... they're already tired, it's hard, war is, war is exhaustion, psychological, physical, it's, well, i can't talk about it, because we all understand what the military sees in war, and it's loss of their friends, yes, these are inhumane conditions, these are all the horrors of the war, which we, about which we

watched, the pros, which we have already seen, yes on a full scale. what is rusnia doing in our territory of ukraine. motivation. look, it's actually very simple here, despite all the fatigue, the fact that we don't understand how long the war will last, 5 years, 10 years, or it will end tomorrow. we are all here to protect our families, our children, our homes, our...land, our, our lifestyle, and most importantly, probably, our statehood, we need to preserve it. our statehood, and this war, and russia is against us precisely to destroy us, as a nation, as a state, and well, in principle, the military, with whom

i communicate at the front, they understand all this and constantly find in themselves some new, new the strength to continue this difficult, difficult path further and further, maybe ta-ta, please, i will continue, i think you have already completed the thought, i just want to clarify, you know, what is it, it is worth understanding for people, this then they will be described in books, in films, and people are already writing, and somewhere there is an understanding, this is the thickening of the skin, i’m speaking figuratively, it comes at some stage when you just become different, not in a bad sense, just in a real sense you become a warrior who, well, you are no longer like those people who are in the body, as they say, in civilian life, there is also war, also shelling, but you are becoming ruder, more insensitive to certain things. you just become a warrior and you continue to grow in that, and then unfortunately or fortunately, you become even more desensitized, again to many things, and you become that way because otherwise you don't

survive, you have to survive and destroy the enemy, well, that's how it is, vasyl, because these are the conditions, that is, you get into such conditions, where you have to gather yourself every day, make yourself stronger every day, learn, to learn despite... all the problems, to overcome them every day, to make some very , very, very difficult choice, which carries with it very difficult consequences, and this is a big, huge stress for a person, well, a person is rougher, rougher and, of course, it is molded, becomes so steely, especially if it has been in the war for a long time, but despite this, there are steel warriors, such, many steel warriors with whom i talked, they are very very ... who in their hearts, i don't know, do hobbies there, draw, assemble guitars there from materials at hand, write poems, there , well, who how, who how, and this

also helps, very, very well helps to maintain, to maintain such mental stability, especially in the war, and i, you know, questions like this, to go from one to another, because i see very the military often fast on, well, i watch kyril sazonov there often, because we get along well with him cats are familiar and interesting, dogs are picked up, fed, it’s some kind of thing, it’s not pathos, it’s life, well, here in the rear you come home somewhere, you want to catch that cat there, it’s a bit like that, in general these, if not it’s something different, such things, they also give some sense of life in the midst of all the death in which? in fact, every day you are there, of course, of course, everyone, everyone finds some kind of attachment to the civilian world, so to speak, animals

help a lot, cheer up, well, it's very cool, i'm there too, the guys say that there used to be wars there were there, he wrote a letter, he reached home there in six months, they answered you there, six months later you read this letter, now video communication is great, you can use the internet there, there are many places, you can call your family and communicate, this is very, very, very cool. krylo zazonov, i also know him, he is simply an optimist in life, and that is why he, well, he is struggling with these military days, but you know, i have a question here, i was preparing for myself, just so that in advance, and what is the most difficult thing in war, i can guess somewhere, but then again i can only guess, and before that there were movies about the war when it was just starting. year, the military are sitting, well, in the cinema, i think it was about the pronet airport, about the dap, and some such topics are being discussed, and there is something about history,

patriotism, some such things, you think, well, do people understand that they may die tomorrow, for example, or go to battle and it is not known whether they will return, whether they will talk about the history of ukraine, about some such things, well, for sure it is something fiction doesn't happen like that, and when you 're going, are there really such conversations, because i hear about it, but i'm always... i wonder what people talk about when you're risking your life every day, in fact, and again , what is the hardest thing about war? well, of course, the most difficult thing in war is losing your friends, losing your friends, unfortunately, we also lose civilians in our supposedly rear-line cities, yes, on the front line, this is of course the most difficult thing, it's hard to live with, it's hard to survive, but... but well, we have to move forward, because well, what is the option, well i just don’t have it, only forward and forward, those who

lose friends, yes... they are very worried about it, they work with them, maybe psychologists, i know that they help each other, the most difficult, this is the most difficult, vasyl, please remind your friend part of the question, about what you are talking about, you know, when it is going to be, there is time, and whether there really is a conversation about some historical moments, patriotic moments, or some state-building issues, or issues of perspectives, or just some everyday things, well, what every day from what... life, food, health, and there are some or, well, what are these conversations about, as they say, at the front, in the trenches or wherever they are, or in some buildings, wherever you were there, well, you really said it right, well, conversations are actually the most important thing, it can be even before the military exit, well, it is clear that you are worried, that everyone understands that this could be the last, and anyway, you are trying to somehow

distract yourself, and talking about politics. about history, many military personnel, by the way, study history, delve deeper, try to understand the original sources, yes, so that for themselves to understand and confirm my opinion that russia is, after all, an eternal enemy, but the conversations are ordinary, vasyl, ordinary, about the construction, about the native home, about his family, every military man, every military man thinks 100 times every day times about your family, it... helps, motivates and guides you on the path again, yes, it gives you strength, such motivation, you motivate your family, you know, we, we, vitaliy thought, what a question to ask, i don't like it words, but here i will say it to the extreme, because we will still communicate with you, i believe in communication and in life, and you will ask a question, what will you do on the first day after the victory, but i think i will not ask, i do not want to spoil anything, but

how will the victory be, then, then... we will think, and i will ask differently, we literally have a minute time, but it is very important for people who are working for victory today in the rear, or between the rear and the front, heard the front and the rear, how it should work together, because this is the only mechanism for mutual understanding, now, what will happen later war, then it will be different, right now, how should this synergy be, and indeed, it should be like a single organism, that is, everything that is done in the body, everything is done for the front, everything that is done on... the front is done for the tive and well, imagine it is such a big robot robot-transformer that is made of he has lots of cool parts , modern weapons, and this robot is all about us, our ukraine, and it is aimed entirely at our aggressor, the russian federation, well, that’s how it should work as it is now, well, we understand that, well, it should go to the sociologists, well , they are people non-homogeneous yes they are all different and

here to unite around. goals, well, in our country, i think, we ukrainians succeeded, yes, there may be some moments, but in general, in general, we succeeded, and mutual understanding, mutual understanding, it is easy to find, even if you count how many people we have in the defense forces, add to them, there are conditionally 100 thousand, add to them three family members each, that is already 300 0, 400 thousand already involved in the war, that is, if it is a million, 5, then well, this is a large, large, large percentage of our people, and this only those directly engaged in war, that is, me i believe that we are one whole, yes, everything happens, but we, we are united. thank you very much, vitaly, take care of yourself, may god protect you, and we will all do everything to protect you, your brothers and stepsisters. thank you for your service, thank you for the conversation, vitaly bakumenko, junior

sergeant, army tv correspondent, and... our colleague, the leading journalist of the espresso tv channel, who today defends our country, many thanks to him for his fight and for what he is today talked with us, but about the events that happened during the day, and here is an update of information, from zaporizhzhia, on unfortunately, literally in a moment, there is a war going on, and not only for territories, it is also a war for minds, we are dealing with... russia is throwing millions of petrodollars to turn ukrainians into little russians. ukraine will become russia. countering russian information attacks in the chronicles of information war project with olga len. tuesday thursday at 17:15, repeat, tuesday, friday at 22:00. every week, maria gurska meets with the head of the committee on foreign affairs
