it is successful, we also lose boys, brothers, we lose, means that help us destroy the enemy, but nevertheless, we do everything to protect them. for this, it is necessary to train the guys, effective training, high-quality bc and a sufficient number of drones provide an opportunity and means of defeat, provide an opportunity to save the lives of not only pilots. drone fighters, but also to save the lives of the infantry, so i constantly appeal to people, if you have the opportunity to support the defense forces, always do it, because when you help us, for example, in acquiring a drone, then we will at least save the life of the ukrainian soldier, because by killing the enemy on ukrainian soil, by killing the occupier, we save the life of the ukrainian soldier and...

the ukrainian land, mr. stepan, thank you very much for the inclusion, for the explanation, for the fact that you and your comrades are doing to protect our state, i will remind our viewers that it was stepan barna, the commander of the barnia unit of the motorized infantry battalion of the 10th separate mountain assault brigade edelweiss, which is holding back the enemy in the siversky direction, we see that there are assaults taking place every day enemy attacks that occur with the use of all countermeasures. next, we will talk about technological challenges and technical solutions that can relieve the burden on our military, we will talk about ukrainian robotic platforms, we know that there is a solution there in the creation of certain types of robotic platforms there, in many brigades these robotic platforms are used, really help to destroy the enemy, really provide measures for demining, demining, logistics, this is all that is extremely... necessary

in order to relieve the fighter and minimize the risks for our soldiers on the frontline, we know that we have unmanned systems forces formed within the armed forces, this direction is considered one of the priorities at all meetings, at all major events we hear about the increase the number of drones needed by the armed forces and the need to increase the number of robotic platforms, and now ihor chaikivskyi joins us, he is the project manager for robotic complexes, this team works in the ternopil region, where they developed ground robotic complex ant. these complexes are used in the armed forces, and now we will talk about how they are used, what features arise with this complex, and how the team copes with challenges on the battlefield. mr. igor, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you. good evening. the presenter finishing the studio

would like you to talk a little bit at the beginning about where exactly the ant is used, what tasks are assigned to your platform by the military and what combat experience is already under this combat platform? currently ant performs a very simple function, it is a logistics platform, so it does not perform any special tasks, a direct logistical function, that is, the delivery of provisions, ammunition, uh, and for now the ant must cope with this as best as possible, uh, it works on various directions, we are on basically all sections of the line of sight, we are on the kharkiv direction, we are on the donetsk direction, we are on the zaporizhzhia direction, so today morakha performs only tasks related to logistics. and delivery of the provision product and

beta. i know that you aspire to be, relatively speaking, like toyota or mercedes, when there is some peculiarity in the use of the complex, or there are some difficulties, then you are ready to provide technical support for all the models that are currently used by our military, which is currently happening with ant, because you said that there are nuances that... it is worth knowing to our military, well, at the moment, our company is withdrawing such a recall recall company, because in muras we discovered a defect in one node, ee, this is a critical node, this is a node masses power supply, and it turned out to be defective, although it turned out to be a rather serious surprise for us, we put a tenfold, somewhere... tenfold

reliability factor there, because our highest consumption is 180 amps, the node is designed for a critical consumption of 2000 amps, but as it turned out, these nodes ee... were delivered to ukraine with defects, so we had problems with a short circuit in this node, in this node, which led to a fire, an ant caught fire, that's why we conducted, we carried out a number of engineering measures where this university was replaced, in experimental samples, now we are conducting a recall company, it is an on-site engineering company, which provides for a trip to places where the ants are deployed. and replacing this node, if this situation has not yet become critical, as it has already, as happened in a separate case, this is a very important thing, because because of a small, inexpensive node, we can get very serious consequences, very serious problems, well, by the way, these are

force majeure, which means that even when we hope that foreign components are reliable, effective, then we see that such things are in fact. it is difficult to predict, and all the same there are such difficulties that allow, well, force your team in such a difficult mode to repair equipment that has already been sent to the front, and can the military itself carry out these service measures on the platforms that they already use, do you need the participation of only your specialists? well, for now, since the amount of delivered equipment is not critically large. and we have the opportunity to carry out, in addition to replacing this node, an additional inspection and service maintenance of this equipment, we do it ourselves, of course, when the number of equipment increases, our capabilities will be significantly limited, more limited, because here

it turned out not only to replace a defective unit, we decided, we, we decided to do certain... engineering changes and to abandon such a node in general, replacing it with another scheme for the implementation of the supply of electricity to the supply of power to the systems that consume electricity, so it was a more difficult engineering task, so it must be performed by specialists, and when we are talking about the fact that last time we said that there will be new samples for the moraha, as i understand it, all of these are in the new samples. the nuances that arose with the ant, they will already be taken into account, what you actually said, and i would like to clarify when we can expect new platforms in the performance of your company for the needs of the armed forces? already by the end of this year

there will be new samples of ee based on ant, because ant is currently a logistics platform, so actually we understand... that its life expectancy is somewhat longer than, for example, in other platforms that perform other tasks, combat tasks, whether it is mining, or going to the line of combat with remote-controlled turrets, and the life expectancy of such and such ground platforms may be shorter not because of the quality of the components, but because of the very thing combat tasks performed. certain platforms, so we are sure that some such platforms that perform combat tasks, they will also require special attention to the quality of assembly components and engineering

solutions that will be applied in these platforms, and when we say by the end of this year we should, yes by the end of this year we will launch. a few, and this is specific, these are two new models based on the ant, this will be a telescopic mast of the repeater and also a remote-controlled turret will come already in the form that we wanted to see it on the line of battle, the features of training on your platform. the military itself is difficult, not difficult, how this process is built, what feedback from the military, or any wishes to change something in the management system there, other things, how about this? will wish there is always a lot, there is always a lot to wish for, as for the management

of the complex itself, it is as simplified as possible, now the modern technologies that are used in muras, they. to manage this complex as an ordinary children's car on the control stage, so everything that happens with the control is as close as possible to a video game, as it did not sound trite, but most of the operators of this equipment are young people who are very familiar with video games, and therefore for them it is not something difficult or unusual something unusual, therefore, regarding the management regarding the ant, i think that there are just fewer comments, or some will be desired, there is of course a desire for the functionality of the ant, for the mass... overall dimensions of the ant, well, that is, the robotic complex, but we must teach the consumer

the following: a certain, certain unit of equipment with certain technical capabilities, there are two options, to want better, and the second option is to learn to use the technical capabilities that are embedded in this or that technical means, whether it is a vehicle, or it is a weapon, or it is a walkie-talkie. .. phone, that is, the technical capabilities that are inherent in it. of course, there is a certain delta where some technical means can work above some standard basic technical capabilities, but it is usually very small or absent at all. that's why the training process right now consists in teaching the e-e and understanding the technical, tactical and technical capabilities of the tool and the possibilities of its use. sir igor, thank you very much for the inclusion, for the work you are doing to strengthen the potential of our

armed forces, we believe that now ant will be more reliable and more resistant to various surprises. let me remind you that it was igor tchaikovsky, the head of the robotic complexes project, the company supplies the ant robotic platform to the armed forces, ant and soon this ant will have relatives with a combat load, all this will help. our armed forces to more effectively destroy the enemy, these were the main military results of this day, vasyl zima will continue the broadcast, so stay tuned to the espresso channel. i thank serhii zagorets, i thank his guests, these were the military results of the day, i will do it later i will say a few words about the situation at the front, there is fresh information about the heavy battles being waged by the armed forces of ukraine in kurakhivsk. direction, the enemy is aiming there and the enemy is now accumulating equipment, forces and

means in the zaporizhia direction, heavy artillery, heavy mortars and also armored vehicles, there is also a certain activity of the enemy, well, the activity of the enemy can be substantially reduced if you help the armed forces of ukraine, individual units that they turn to us for help in buying things that are very important in battle, rebs and... drones a lot important in battle, firstly, it helps to avoid terrible strikes by enemy drones, secondly, it helps to destroy personnel as well, but above all enemy artillery, enemy armored vehicles, as well as enemies in their dugouts, and therefore we continue, the espresso tv channel and the vesna charity fund continue to collect funds for the purchase of modern drones and electronic warfare systems for the third separate assault brigade, as well as for the mechanized... 10th and 47th brigades of the armed forces of ukraine. the defenders in the donetsk direction hold back enemy attacks every day. they defend ours

freedom and future. it was these soldiers who stood to the last and defended the avdiiv direction in the spring of this year. our goal is 3.5 million hryvnias. you see the details on your screens. i want to say that yesterday you collected 200 there 90 thousand approximately. today we already have 2,387. 675 hryvnias and even 96 kopecks. thank you so much for your, well, it's actually for a day, almost 100 00, it's serious. thank you very much, let's move forward at this pace and i think that soon we will be able to close this collection. well, now we will talk about night attack of the enemy on the territory of ukraine, in particular, we will focus on the poltava region, which was attacked by enemy drones. ihor protsai, deputy of the poltava regional council. mr. igor, i congratulate you, good evening, and i will start by saying that, unfortunately, uh, just a

second now, i discovered this news, unfortunately, the number of dead has increased as a result of an enemy attack, which happened again, which happened again on september 3, 59 people have already died, one man died, another person died in the hospital, the head of the regional military said administration of philip pronin, so only sincere condolences and pain due to the fact that... unfortunately, it was not possible, it was not possible to repel, as they say, a person in death and save his life, so 59 dead, this is after that terrible, that terrible enemy attack. by enemy ballistics on september 3, well, that night, the enemy again attacked poltava region, dozens of drones flew into the region, debris fell there, buildings were damaged, i would like that from what is known at the moment, from what can be said, again, you reported on the consequences, first of all, for the civilian population, for the infrastructure, well, for

the possibility of providing communal services to the population, please, and... that night there was also a massive attack on the poltava region, a fairly large number of shaheds flew into the poltava region, and our armed forces worked in fact, at full power, the main strikes were aimed at the lubenskyi district, kremenchugskyi district, some were in the poltava district, the targets of the attack were objects. energy infrastructure, but unfortunately, when they were working our armed forces, some civilian structures, some buildings were damaged by debris, at the moment what is known is that officially, thank god, everyone remained alive, that is, there were no losses from such an attack, this attack was not, well,

it was also reported about'. damage to some of the buildings there in the region, can we talk about what has been restored or not yet restored, what was the nature of the damage that led to the power outage, again, was it a planned power outage or was it an emergency disconnection, well, it has to be in mind, whether it was turned off so that it would not be worse, because there was not enough, as they say , the power there, or it was precisely as a result of an enemy attack that i simply turned it off. out, power out, please, uh, power out in some residences as a result of an enemy attack, uh, some power lines were damaged, people are working on it now, hourly schedules have been introduced in poltava region, this is to ensure uninterrupted work on that, on

that part of the business and those consumers to... received services more or less normally, in poltava oblast the electricity supply schedules are still working, i think that they will be finished after a complex of works is carried out to eliminate the damage that occurred during the last night, yes, well, i have a few i will ask questions about the life of the region in general, unfortunately, we do not often communicate with poltava region, thank god there are no reasons to... talk, but you see, now the attack has taken place, and we need to talk, well, at the same time, i will ask about other aspects, above all now serious the problem is in sumy oblast and kharkiv oblast, there are ongoing hostilities on the territory of the region, well , in sumy oblast there are ongoing hostilities on enemy territory, but shelling is constant and there are a lot of refugees, kharkiv, we see kharkiv itself

and kharkiv oblast, especially the northeast there, constant shelling there people... are fighting with children, and i know that at the beginning of the actual full-scale invasion, poltava oblast became a hub and a place of refuge for fathers, especially residents of kharkiv oblast, as they are still accepting new refugees, and right away it is important not only to accept new refugees, but to have possibility first of all, to provide, well, accommodation, it is possible to even help find a job there for the autumn-winter period, because now when we accept people, we accept people, well, it's not us, but you. you accept people, of course, for autumn and winter, because who will go there to seek shelter if it is already cold, then what about the fact that the number of people willing to wait out this time in poltava region has increased and what are the possibilities of its region to accept , please, but if we go into history, the one we had at the beginning of the war,

when poltava oblast received a much larger number of displaced persons, or those people who... displaced their homes as a result of shelling and the impossibility of living, then, for example, the city of poltava received all these people in kindergartens, schools, and other facilities, which could provide warmth, shelter and food for these people, and a certain life could also provide. some time has passed, studies have been resumed in many schools, including stationary studies. where the safety of children is ensured, for this one a while near poltava was built, i think, one of the first modular towns, the one that can accommodate... up to 500 people, at the moment it is almost all inhabited, that's why there are still some places to

accommodate people, i'm surprised i understand that in emergency situations, the authorities will take a deliberate decision in order to secure people and give them shelter, this is the necessary action that should be taken in that place. which can give people warmth, work and shelter, well, this is my personal, well, and about preparing for the heating season, again, i always please do not say any nuances regarding the specifics of the preparation there, perhaps some small generation, other moments that the enemy can then shock in order to strike, as they say to de-energize objects in one or another area, but i know that now in each or in a large city, regional center, or in general in the region , the preparation for the heating season is almost unique for each region, again, taking into account many points, somewhere the shelling is constant, somewhere there is less shelling, somewhere there is almost none at all,

somewhere the population more, somewhere less, somewhere a lot, well, how about in poltava region, let's say, again, this is a small secret, we don't give anything to the enemy here, no secrets, poltava region is an industrial region, powerful, so it is clear that the consumption of electricity and other types of energy is generally more times, so each region here has its own special one. as they say, the program of preparation for the heating season, its risks and its opportunities, and the poltava region is in this, to what extent this conversation takes place, business, government, utility companies, energy companies with the fact that we do everything possible so that under various we kept the scenarios, well, at least the critical objects, there are hospitals, schools, what life should provide, and or as soon as possible, in which case, we could repair and provide light and heat there. go home, please, well, first of all, poltava oblast is not part of the all-ukrainian program for preparing for winter and creating

additional generation, i will not tell you how it happens, but poltava is included and it is happening, poltava is preparing, local self-government bodies are helping with funds, and international help very well our structures are western. friends, mainly the united states of america, for which i want to thank from the bottom of my heart the taxpayers of the american people who are not standing by at a time when we need help so badly. not a single penny or dollar allocated so that we can better prepare for the heating period will not be superfluous, especially since they mostly even develop projects and implement them themselves. international organizations, for which we are very grateful to them .

to hold off the winter that is upon us very soon, you know what else i'm going to ask, we have a few minutes here, added, well, i'll just have one quick question, you know, the receipts for the general fund budget this month only in september there it fell three times for various reasons, now taxes are being raised, there are a lot of them. well, plus the personal income tax of the military has been taken away a long time ago, as planned, as now with the implementation of the budget, what are your plans for the year, if you can briefly, to understand, this is a survival budget, as the minister of finance said, is there another possibility to think about where not even to cut something on the contrary, but please, well, if we take it from the beginning of the year, then in principle the budget of the poltava region is being implemented, but the forecasts for the next year are quite disappointing, a decrease in income to both local and regional budgets is expected to a certain level, well, in terms of percentages, it is somewhere up to at least 10

percent, so they were probably right when they said that we are expecting more of a survival budget, you perfectly understand that for business, the price of electricity is increasing again, current costs are increasing, quite big problems with... with labor resources, this is also clear, so expecting some breakthroughs and especially, especially the business environment, simply does not seem possible, well, accordingly, people will have less funds. thank you very much for your comments, thank you for participating, take care, ihor prosay, the deputy of the poltava regional council was in touch with us, and now we will talk about something else, no, not about the situation in the regions, but about the situation for. in general in our country and most importantly about the prospects, which, unfortunately, are not very comforting, but some things can be changed, because this is actually

a question of survival, but... only of the country, the question of survival of our ukrainian people. oleksandr gladun, deputy director of the institute of demography and, mr. oleksandr, i congratulate you. good evening. yes, i will begin by voicing the official information that became the reason for our conversation, as they say, an informational occasion, so the government, the state plans to create conditions for migration growth, and has created a program, developed a strategy for the demographic development of ukraine on period until 2040, it was approved by the cabinet of ministers of ukraine and published on the government's website on september 30. now we start with the fact that if there is a strategy for demographic development, then we understand that there is a huge problem with the current demographic situation, because by the 41st year of the population of ukraine, well, if we do not take what now remains in ukraine, and what was before the start of a full-scale invasion may

decrease to 28 and... and by 2051 to 25 million people, so there will be a strategy that should change this situation, if it is not too late, and again, what is the real tool, you know, it is not general to say such words, we will return a million, a billion there someday, but if we talk concretely, what is real today in the arsenal in the toolkit of the government, society in order to stop negative processes , well, i'm not talking about the war, it's what our army is stopping, and here, as they say, we don't know how it will develop yet, please, well, it's precisely the war that has a very powerful effect on everyone demographic processes, and especially increased mortality, people postpone births and plus rampant migration abroad and rampant migration within the country, if we talk about any real tools, in this... in this strategy

, general approaches are indicated, and at the end of the strategy it is written that within a month a specific plan for the implementation of this strategy should be developed, therefore, the implementation will depend very much on the financing of specific programs, due to the fact that there will be a lack of money, it will be necessary to choose separate directions to which to direct the financing. the first is what what as for the birth rate, it is at a very low level in our country, and we should all do everything possible to raise it to at least the average european level. what do the survey results and women say, that in principle there is a preference for a two-child family, but these guidelines are not implemented due to material

factors, i.e. low wages, problems with housing, in addition, women say that flexible working hours are needed , the opportunity to work part-time, and all this must be implemented in various, in various activities and in regulations, perhaps joint decisions, which should be made between the government and business, as far as mortality is concerned, also in... life expectancy before the war was still about 10 years less than in the developed countries of europe, it is necessary to carry out in this direction explanatory, promotional work with the population regarding a healthy lifestyle, to create for this in specific conditions, as regards, certain funds are also needed and developed and they are partially effective, programs with what, what is the ministry of health engaged in, and... the main thing

that all these measures and others that will be proposed, they take into account not only there were general phrases, directions, that they descend to the regional level and, most importantly, to the territorial level, to the level of the territorial community, because each community has its own situation regarding migration policy , this is a very difficult question, we don't know how many people will return, the plans to attract. well, the ukrainian diaspora, that it will return, well, i don’t really believe in it, the current needs of the labor market, they may require additional labor force, but in my opinion, at the first stages it is advisable and should be done, if we are going to attract foreigners, it is simply on a contract for...
