the ministry of defense should be prepared to feed the soldiers with normal, normal food at a normal e , unfortunately, the normal price is not a priority of the ministry of defense, and it does not even depend on the name of the minister, but on everything there vertically, what a decade, we just don't change there, you know, they enter as captains , leave as generals, and die, yes, yes , it is not possible to search for anyone from there. well, these are resignations with the detention of these two representatives of the procurement division in fact, for the first time in recent years, when i see that there was not an unnatural way, someone was taken out of there by the hand, and all the other people remain there, and the personnel appointments that were , well, as a result of this scandal, they did not in any way affect the purchasing department vitaliy denyga andriy shevchenko are appointed, they will work in completely different directions . therefore, let's say that the procurement department has not undergone any changes. and therefore, i just expect that the processes that we

the ministry of defense has announced, or rather, made public on its website a list of 29 candidates who will compete for 15 seats in the anti-corruption council of the ministry . of defense of ukraine and you know, investigative journalists rightly remind us that this idea is not new at all, as if there was already some such body, by the way, some such structure under the ministry even in the days of the previous minister of defense. i will say that well, in almost every body, when ukraine began to introduce anti-corruption reform, in almost every body , the appropriate divisions were created. which is accepted, they were not i would say that they did not find any corruption risks, but as far as i know, this body either does not work or cannot work well, and moreover, many bodies, e.e., have public councils, but unfortunately the ministry of defense does not have such a non-existent public council, therefore, after the next scandals that took place, first the eggs, then the apples, then something else, the minister. i understand that the minister made a decision that the principle of

for the defense ministry, they don't want him to take over ba khmut.ause he is there political opponent. there's a lot of infighting on the russian side. >> when you look at this infighting happening, between the wagner group and the defense ministry, do you see that closing a problem -- posing a problem for russia? >> it goes without saying, you don't want a large martial army at odds with your army. russia has had a problem with command and leadership since day one of this war. the issue with bakhmut, what are they go if they take it? to the west, directly west, it's easier to defend. the two roads lead northwest and southwest, there will be defensive lines around their -- there. it does not change the calculus much. my view on this, strategically, this is about reserves. it's about training combat power. if ukraine can get through this grinding warfare without committing the reserves which needs to keep a back and attacked for the summer, what is going to try to attack in one or two places, that is a victory for ukraine. russia, is trying to take th

busy battlefield and certainly is quick to criticize the crammed in the defense ministry. if he does not fail, he's getting enough support. how significant is he becoming a very significant he has a private army. this has dramatically expanded during the last year from several 1000 deplored somewhere in syria or the central african republic, or don't know where to cans of 1000 a tanks or 2 or 8. and he's close personally to the boats in and he's attacking the defense minister and the defense ministry. his 2nd in command, general russ. hm. so he is a very vocal political figure in russia with his own private army fighting out there and with connections in the kremlin, and he's financing. so for him, it's a really high important see thing to take over bar mode for the defense ministry mascara. they don't want him to take over back with laurel victory because he's their political opponent. so there's a lot of fighting happening there on the russian side. patrick, when you look at this in fi thing happening between the wagner group and the defense ministry, just just to say, p

for the defense ministry mascara, they don't want him to take over backwards. give the laurel victory because he's their political opponent. so there's a lot of fighting happening there on the russian side. patrick, when you look at nist in fighting happening between the wagner group and the defense ministry just just to say, posing a problem for russia and presenting a united front against the crime. i think that goes in and saying, you know, you don't want your, a large mercenary army at all with your army. but listen, russians have problems with command control and leadership since day one of this war. so as part of the course at this stage, you know, i think really, you know, the issue about moving the like, where do they go if they type in the say. all right, so, but the learn to west of back moved directly west is on a higher ground, easier to defend the 2 roads which lead north west will southwest the northwest want to chrome torsional dance. you know, they'll be defensive lines around there. they'll be defensive lines. around it, it doesn't change the h

, what can i do if i have access to a state secret because now everything in the ministry of defensestate secret in case you see such a fact. i have to delete the documents of the state procurement department of the gdz, and since we now have the ministry of defense working under framework agreements, documents why exactly was the price like that, how many manufacturers were admitted, maybe there was one application, maybe there were five applications , and all the others were rejected, destroyed, and , well, this is a completely logical story, only in the case if this access to state secrets is granted, it was no more fighting, believe the ministry of defense, it didn't seem like it until the end, but well, there we fought for three weeks, and in three weeks we had this access to state civilization, which happened for three weeks, which plan discussions took place, you can without surnames, but outline the main trends. yes, we understand. well, if there were any violations of this or that, yes, they should be eliminated. accordingly , a reliable mechanism should be made, and if ther

well, the key distinction is whether this was ordered by the russian defense ministry or whether this was an accident or whether this was the initiative of the sequoia 27 russian pilots involved in the mid collision. we don't know, we may never know that, but other important thing is that the russians will consider this to be very beneficial because they will be taking that claim to, to the air around the black sea and above the black sea. because the americans are using the supervisor intelligence with whom i certainly assisting ukrainian war and probably helping them so partner allies like romania which are black, the little country. so i think the russians, even if they didn't order this, they will probably be quite glad to be destroying, crashing to the waters very possible that the russian plains, quote 27, which you know, very maneuverable, very far into sets, is all bit quite old. now they may have been trying to fly, pulse, drawing very close to the drawing. they may have been trying to, well, let me see, they are trying to disrupt the flight path. if the report of the don't t

taiwan's defense ministry says the missiles would help deal with china's provocations.he jets to fire those missiles also come from the united states. and last december, washington approved another weapons deal worth more than $400 million. that package includes replacement parts for f-16s and c-130 transport planes. it's not going down well in china. the foreign ministry is urging the u.s. to stop selling arms to taiwan. >>> the u.s. government has concluded its very unlikely a foreign adversary caused a series of unexplained illnesses suffered by its diplomats. national intelligence director avril haines announced there is no credible evidence linking the symptoms to an adversary using a weapon or a device. the intelligence community has been investigating cases of what's called the havana syndrome. they were first reported by u.s. embassy officials in cuba in 2016 and include hearing loss and headaches. about 1,000 cases have emerged in china, germany, austria and other countries. washington initially blamed cuba, but officials now say the cases were probably the res
