leadership of the ministry of defense, i think that these issues were raised, and if there are still no changes, is there an explanation why the general staff of the ministry of defense or other structures there are not ready to switch to this rational way of cooperation with our defense enterprises i , i would, you know, i would say that there is no lack of readiness, there is a very constructive discussion with the leadership of the ministry of defense, the general staff, and indeed, now we see very positive trends in terms of readiness to communicate with industry from representatives of state authorities, state customers in the field of defense. therefore, we are approaching this, believe me, i think that this year we will have successful examples of similar contracts, i already said that, let's say, the first such swallows, for the first positive examples, they are already being followed, so we will hope that this dialogue will be continued, that we, together with state authorities and ministries , will work out the

goods of the local defense industry. your government can now check if there is an innovative manufacturer in the market. i would like to point out that the norwegian defense industry is really big, and this is important. it does not produce a complete platform, such as tanks, but produces weapons, missiles, machine guns. and from now on it's all up to you available at the same time, the eu countries seek to increase the production of munitions to a year already in the spring, as much as they promised to transfer to ukraine by march. in brussels, it was previously stated that the stockpiles of weapons are running out due to deliveries to kyiv. and the other day, the british edition of the telegraph reported. nato countries ordered about a thousand missiles for patriot air defense. the production contract was signed by germany, romania, the netherlands and spain. the munitions will cost $5.5 billion and will be entirely manufactured in europe. zmi claims that part of the alliance will be transferred armed forces russia, acc

in addition, judge dolshko called the ministry of defense of ukraine a private company, referring to the fact that the department has identification code of a legal entity. he also called the cabinet of ministers a private company. the judge claims that the ukrainian government owns the private foreign company dandbreet, citing foreign registries. also, the judge believes that territorial assembly centers do not have the right. staff the armed forces, and can only offer to conclude an employment contract. at the same time, the judgment emphasizes that coercion into a labor contract is a form of slavery. however , judge serhiy dolshko is not the first to surprise with his logic when making court decisions. in 2021 in 2018, he substantiated the illegality of the introduction of quarantine in ukraine, and in 2018, he... impersonated an entrepreneur who was arrested while handing over a bribe to the chief of the zinkiv police, within a year he closed the case against the ex-head of the zinkiv district state administration, who filed a declaration in time and fled from the police. at the e

defense planning, their larger role of missile defenses. as the pentagon's recent national defense strategy, the unclassified version noted, missiles have become "a principal means by which adversaries seek to protect conventional or nuclear power." and as such "missile-defense is a core deterrence by denial component" of how we contend with adversaries. we are here today to mark the 40 th anniversary of ronald reagan's speech announcing the strategic defense initiative. that speech, which was in march of 1983, came just a few weeks after his evil empire speech, which was march 9. they were all coordinated towards the larger strategic goal of winning and bringing an end to the cold war. one of the most recent books that i wrote was on president reagan's covert action program to provide assistance to solidarity. i had the opportunity to talk to a number of folks within that administration and to spend several months overall in the reagan library, going through national security council discussions. one of the things i always found helpful about the

leadership of the ministry of defense, the general of lviv. indeed, now we see a lot positive trends regarding the readiness to communicate with the industry from representatives of state authorities, state customers in the field of defense, so we are approaching this, believe me, i think that this year we will have successful examples of similar contracts, i already said that we will say yes , the first ones are just the beginning... are there positive examples, they are already being followed up, so we will hope that this dialogue will be continued, that we, together with state authorities and ministries, will work out criteria, work out appropriate decisions regarding what to conclude these long-term contracts, especially with those companies that have shown themselves to be reliable suppliers, with companies that are not just importers, but manufacturers. weapons and ammunition, well, i think we will come to that, again i want to note that the dialogue is very constructive and very positive, well then i would like to touch on one

my name is serhiy zguryts, i am the director of the defense express company, which, together with the espresso channel, is now aiming to cover the most relevant events in the life of our army and the defense-industrial complex. and now he joins us. deputy head of the public organization national association of the defense industry of ukraine for strategic communication. mr. sergey, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you. yes, congratulations, mr. sergey, congratulations, dear tv viewers, i am glad to see and hear you too. you have been working in this position for some time. i think that you have familiarized yourself in detail with the capabilities of those companies that are part of your association today, and i would like you to tell our viewers what the capacities and... capabilities of private enterprises look like now, what were the main results for the past year, or are there some data about production volumes, that is, such general features that allow us to make a general assessment of what is happening in the private sector of the domestic defense industry. yes , t

this was reported by the ministry of defense of the russian federation. the attack on the oil depot in the leningrad region is a special operation of the main administration intelligence of the ministry of defense. this is reported by the ukrainian media with reference to data and intelligence sources. yesterday, due to the attack of the armed forces of ukraine on the marine training center near sevastopol killed 19 soldiers, this is reported by russian telegram channels, what can you say, mr. major, about the need to transfer the war to the territory of russia, or the ukrainian territory, which is temporarily occupied by russia, of the russian army, that, what is needed for this, because we see isolated ones... with some periodicity, which is not enough for a systemic one work on military facilities on enemy territory? well, let's be frank, if we do not transfer the war to the territory of the enemy, then the territory of ukraine itself will be destroyed, and this is already clear, here is israel, an example for all of us in this context: from where it f

number two, they're led within the department defense by the office of the secretary of defense. number three, they're always led generally by osd. osd policy. and sometimes we'll have co-chairs, other organizations like the joint staff or, the acquisition community, but always the policy leads these reviews has done so for for over over three decades. so half as we were working our way through the trump bmd two to the to the ndr, you know, our assessments of shift in security, including the threat environment, was that, look, this is more than just about ballistic missiles, right? i mean, we're seeing the development of hypersonics, advanced cruise missiles, air launch, ballistic missiles. and a significant change was that halfway through that process, we adjusted the name of the room and went to the missile defense review to reflect sort of broader kind of opening the aperture of threats, which would also begin to affect the way the united states would think about the kinds of defenses the united states needed to bmd, not just bmd, but but but but other aspects. an important dec

for the $300 a week allowance there was a reason, the defense argued. ple had serious debt. the defense offered contrasting scenes of the cooper marriage from another set of friends. >> people who had known the couple for years, did not jump on this bandwagon to paint this as an abusive relationship. >> remember that "i hate brad" day, the day the prosecution said the marriage hit its boiling on that very day, said laura hiller, nancy was making plans for saturday night, the day she disappeared. >> she wanted my husband and i to come over and play sequence with her and brad. >> was that a game you had played with the cops before? >> that's the introduced us to that game. >>when nancy's friend jessica testified they had plans to paint her house at 8:00 saturday morning she had to be have been mistaken, said the defense, because nancy knew brad had a tennis game at 9:00 a. m. with mike hiller. >> i specifically sought out nancy to make sure it was okay with her. >> did it indicate she had any other plans? >> there was talk she was going to jog and she woul

seven officials of the ministry of defense received suspicions. the authorities responded to business complaints. regarding oppression by law enforcement officers, about this and other things, during the next hour we will talk with our guests, the chairman of the board of the non-governmental organization center for combating corruption vitaliy shabunin, serhii grabskyi, a colonel of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine and journalist roman tsimbalyuk. however, before we start our big talk, let's watch a video of a large-scale fire at the rosneft oil refinery in the city. tuabse krasnodar region of the russian federation, according to mass media, the plant was attacked by drones of the security service of ukraine. let's see. one fire. вторая выезжает, куда беханить , my lord, my lord, quickly, well, the voiceover of this video was just incredible, agree, friends, for those who are currently watching us on youtube and facebook, please like this video about... vote in our survey, today we ask you about whether you expect an objective investigat

well, returning to corruption in the ministry of defense, as the minister of defense rustem umyerov saidlast four months, during the internal audit in the structures of the ministry of defense, it was possible to discover corruption violations worth 10 billion. yuriy nikolov, journalist and founder of the project our money, i would say, joins our broadcast such a contract supervisor in the ministry of defense. good evening, greetings to all, good evening. look, today the representative of the ministry of defense announced that the ministry of defense is terminating contracts with companies connected with the family of the lviv businessman hrynkevich. and you didn't check, they already broke up, because the journalists wrote that at the moment...

and the command, where our tanks went or defense personnel carriers, that is, here i thinkt the information policy this year should also be modernized and adapted, but the fact that in the spring and summer of this ukraine will carry out offensive actions, for example, i do not doubt it, i do not care... repeated requests and proposals of our western partners to enter strategic defense. well, obviously, our capabilities will be correlated with how weapons, in particular ammunition, will arrive in ukraine, because today josep borel is the supreme representative of the european union for foreign policy, after the meeting of the defense ministers of the european union countries, he announced that the eu can supply ukraine . by march only 500, more than 500 thousand artillery shells instead of the promised million, let's listen to what george borel said. between last march and the beginning of this year, we delivered 330,000 rounds of ammunition, so we have a third of the target, mainly from existing stocks. by march, i expect that number to increase by more than 200 thousand,

the defense and achieve the maximum. an expert of the center of defense strategies, a reserve colonelforces of ukraine, who gave us a little, you know, insiders of what could happen in 2024 on the battlefield, you and i see you again in ukraine, it's 6 p.m. and we have a news release on the spresso tv channel, in the studio of iryna koval. greetings to all viewers. ukraine did not ask turkey to let the ministry of trawlers into the black sea. it's about ships. and cherkasy, which were handed over to us by great britain, the spokesman of the naval forces , dmytro pletenchuk, said. according to him, ukraine did not leave such a request, because it understands the effect of the montreux convention, according to which turkey does not allow refi warships to enter the black sea. so for now, for demining the sea ukraine uses special robotic equipment and drones. strengthening the european.

regarding igor's case hrynkevich, a supplier of the ministry of defense, who is currently in a pre-trial detention center. well, let's talk about the situation at the front. and already, the winter offensive of the russian army in the kharkiv and donetsk regions failed. so, at least, the military observer, a german, thinks so. in addition to the deaths of thousands of their own soldiers and the loss of more than 400 armored vehicles, they have not achieved anything, the journalist states in the publication under the title, thousands of soldiers are dead, putin's winter offensive has failed. according to ryobka, who analyzes the latest videos from the battlefield, russia is practically the same, russia is practically the same far from its strategic goals, the capture of the city of kupyansk in the kharkiv region and avdiivka in the donetsk region, as well as... at the beginning of the winter campaign in october last year. to the north of kupyansk, russian troops got bogged down near the small village of synkivka. one by one, the kremlin's tank unit enters the same minefield

poroshenko came with the minister of defense poltorak, he left, and stepan poltorak, the minister of defense, remained at his post position it is impossible to scatter professional, qualified personnel, personnel who have the trust not only of society, but first of all of the army. the army is the key pillar of the unification of the state. well, in any case, also rumors, rumors that were offered commandingly colonel general of the ground forces. kusyrskyi was offered the position of general budanov, the head of the main intelligence department at the ministry of defense, and they seemed to refuse. well, rumors do not arise out of thin air, and there is no smoke without fire, and i say once again, despite the fact that a lot of telegram channels, a lot of ukrainian media commented on this topic, it may have caused certain doubts in society, but ... when in unison, all the leading western media, which definitely sympathize with ukraine, absolutely unequivocally submit this information, i want to say again and again that our higher military and political leadership should think that thi

in 2023, the defense forces were constantly increasing their range. egan to fly to moscow, and not only, having struck more than 20 strikes, the armed forces of ukraine probably damaged more russian aircraft at airfields than in in the air in addition, ukraine won this round of the battle for the black sea, not only forcing the russian ships to retreat from sevastopol to novorossiysk, bringing back under its control the so-called. boyka towers. this made it possible to control part of the water area to such an extent that gur made two raids on the western coast of crimea. missile strikes on the docks in sevastopol, the destruction of the submarine and the repair docks in kirch only completed the defeat of the black sea fleet of the russian federation. the crimean bridge is waiting for its turn in 2024. my guest viktor kyvylyuk, military expert of the center of defense strategies. colonel of the armed forces reserve, and we actually met with him at the end of the 22nd year, there were several interesting insiders from him, now we will talk about it. gre

the final say. he decided to prepare for defense. sitation, what if the germans break through our defenses, there were such thoughts. it will turn out like in 1941. fine. then it was decided to build the defense so tightly that they would not break through. in total , under the course. each point included up to twenty guns. the guns could fire in all directions. the distance between the strong points was about half a kilometer. if enemy tanks tried to break through between strong points, the guns fired at their more vulnerable side armor. built by dottoy, tsotty. they dug so many trenches, this is... 3 4 5 6 lanes, that if you put them together, this is from moscow to kamchatka, this is several thousand kilometers, that is, everyone worked and even laid the railway specifically in order to throw up troops and ammunition directly to the place of hostilities, people they worked, ordinary people - these are local residents who were mobilized, yes, this is a huge work, but nevertheless they built such a defense, which was then also filled

, but we must understand that there is a circle and problems in the forces. of defenserecently said that the fastest way to teach alcoholism in the armed forces is by what means, but again, in his words , the greatest resource of the armed forces and the defense forces in general is its people, and people can teach like alcoholism, if you join the armed forces and want to learn alcoholism, of course you will be taught very quickly, i assure you, even as fast as you want, but if you want to ... learn brotherhood, courage, courage, some the desire to defend one's native ukrainian state, this can also be taught in the defense forces, therefore the issue of losses, it is also, you know, twofold, if society is ready to really perceive reality objectively, losses must be voiced, but if , unfortunately, our society why, by this time, i somehow put on yellow ones from the pink ones, you know? but i didn't take them off, then i think that it's not worth it, ugh, thank you for your opinion, mr. maksym, maksym morozov, an officer of the legion of freedom and a major of the ministr

anti-corruption council, the ministry of defense, head of the go, children's dream of ukraine. glory to ukraine, oleg mykhailovych, glory to ukraine, ms. bohdan, congratulations, studio, glory to the heroes, congratulations, ukraine. well, mrs. dano, we would like you first of all to ask about the deployment of hrenkiewicz gate , we understand that the main figures were taken into custody, but maybe... there is information about similar cases, yes, which could be, so to speak, stamped, signed and so on, and so on, in particular , when we talk about the supply of goods and services, procurement without the application of a competitive procedure within the framework of cabinet resolution no. 169, well, maybe not all of them were somehow not too responsible, but, but, but you have my word. in fact, procurement, let's say, not even so, not the procurement, but the holding of a non-competitive procedure and the determination of the company, the construction company, the winner was already far after the cancellation of the 169th resolution, at that time, it was february 23rd of the y

well, returning to corruption in the ministry of defense, as the minister of defense rustem umyerov said the previous evening, during the last four months, during the internal audit in the structures of the ministry of defense, it was possible to discover... violations amounting to 10 billion uah. yuriy nikolov, journalist and founder of the project, joins our broadcast our money, i would say, is the supervisor of contracts in the ministry of defense. good evening. hello everyone, good evening. look, today the representative of the ministry of defense announced that the ministry of defense is terminating contracts with companies connected with the family of the lviv businessman hrynkevich. and you didn't check, they already terminated it, because the journalists wrote that at the time... when the ministry of defense announced this, the contracts for transparency still existed, so they intend to terminate it, or is there still hope that they have already terminated it? to be honest, i flew to you on the air directly from the subway, i am not yet transparent , i will definitely do it, as n

should be spent on the defense of the country and to support the armed forces, today a private company came, they paid money, i have a question, it is from the budget, can we become benefactors, if from the budget, we will react, if we are benefactors, we will thank them, because every benefactor is everything, and the third position is that we should unite and... without waiting, this is a shameful position, when we will do something after the war. the city council believes that the reconstruction of such an important object should be approached comprehensively. an international architectural competition will be announced in february. following stage - design, after which it will become clear how much money is needed for restoration. currently, only the cost of the building is more than uah 2 million. will they be able to restore it, or will i have to. anew, will be decided based on the results of the examination and the architectural competition. i would like to remind you that earlier the experts of the skyron company reconstructed and made a three-dimensional model of the museum of

southern flank, what is the northern flank, what... let's say, the center, all the defense in my opinion, are determined to seriously give the muscovites retracement, that is, i was talking to different representatives of different brigades, in none the brigade did not hear or see any panic moods or panic setting, everyone understands what the threats are, everyone sees these cabs, everyone sees this simply crazy activity of their aviation at the discounts of these cabs, but no one... does not even show any words about that it is necessary to step back, again, these statements of some experts, they only annoy me and other defenders of avdiivka, regarding the fact that some expert allows himself to declare that avdiivka should be abandoned, that there is someone, that she has already fulfilled some your role, something else these statements only annoy the defense forces and the soldiers who protect the enemy, so i would take this opportunity to ask such experts too... to cover their mouths, because they will have to answer for these words. well, i hope we don't have such exp

the news. u.s. defense austin did undergo minimally invasive surgical procedure to treat and cure prostate cancer, he was admitted to the hospital with complications from that procedure on january 1st. he was under general anesthesia during the initial procedure, on december 22nd. so the procedure, december 22nd, he was admitted due to complications january 1st. he underwent surgery to treat prostate cancer and also the postoperative symptoms he had included nausea, severe abdominal, hip and leg pain. urinary tract infection, these are just some of the details we are getting right now. let me continue to go through this as i bring in general keane. general, your thoughts on this. obviously the story has been we are thankful he's out of the icu with the complications that he had. still in the hospital is the latest that we know. but it was the appearance of breach of protocol and lack of informing the white house that really bothered many on both sides of the aisle. your thoughts as we learn more about think

southern flank, the northern flank, let's say the center. all the defense in my opinion, are determined seriously enough to give the muskals a break, that is, i am not communicating with various by representatives of different brigades, in no brigade did i hear or see any panicky mood or panic setting, everyone understands the threats, everyone sees these cabs, everyone sees this simply crazy activity of their aviation at the discounts of these cabs, but no one appears. even some words about the need to retreat, again, these statements of some experts, they only annoy me and other defenders of the avdiivka, regarding the fact that some expert allows himself to declare that the avdiivka should be abandoned, that there is someone, what, what she has already fulfilled some of her role, one more thing, these statements only annoy the defense forces and soldiers who are protecting ardiivka now, so i would use this opportunity to ask such experts to shut their mouths a little. because you will have to answer for these words , well, i hope we do not have such expe

in 1024, the defense forces of ukraine will mainly be on the defensive. is is 100%. to refer entirely to the first quarter, we are talking about the lumano-kupyan army, the donetsk and ughlodar areas, because that is where the enemy throws all his mobilization reserves, but will we really only defend ourselves in the 24th. the most promising direction of movement of the defense forces this winter, military experts consider kherson oblast, which is on the left bank, near the wells, to be incredible. our defenders are holding their positions with efforts, from there, only 60 km to the occupied crimea, and it is this bridgehead that can become decisive during a counteroffensive. i do not rule out that the left-bank kherson region will be an exception, and our bridgehead is there, it will not only maintain its presence, but also be able to expand to some area of ​​liberated territories. but how to do this, because while on the left... on the shore of the kherson region, we have neither an advantage in manpower, nor in the air, nor in armored vehicles. it is ne

this was reported by the commander of the tavria military group oleksandr tarnavskyi. defense forces hit the russian zoo and repellent-1 stations. in addition, the enemy lost 41 armored vehicles, including 17 tanks. the total losses of the russian occupiers amounted to 350, 385 people and 57 pieces of equipment. defense forces of ukraine destroyed three ammunition warehouses and two more important enemy facilities. five times since the beginning of the year, russian sabotage and intelligence groups have tried go to the border of chernihivska. the situation on the northern border of the sumy region is stable, the accumulation of enemy forces is imperceptible, so the military command and servicemen are working on improving their skills, said the commander of the united forces serhiy naev. the preparation of sabotage and anti-sabotage reserves is ongoing. fighters learn to counter the enemy with the involvement of unmanned aircraft, set up explosive engineering barriers and create observation posts. france will supply ukraine with up to 50 guided aerial bombs saffron every month

sgurets, the director of the information and consulting company defense express was with us. meanwhile, the air force reports a threat to a large part of ukraine's regions. it is about ballistics in particular. this is how it looks now map of air alarms, yes. it was also reported that a ballistic missile was moving on kropyvnytskyi, but it ceased to exist, so it is most likely. yes, and another very important piece of information for this story today, the times and the economist also came out with the fact that this was the decree of an outsider, it’s just that budanov and syrskyi refused and that’s why the decree was not made public, interesting information, this is for yesterday’s story, and now it's almost 9:00, that's the time when we remember and honor the memory of all those who died through the russians for... all military and civilians. let's observe a moment of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and civilian citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.

succeeded in part, when he gathered considerable strength of his manpower, in part to dislodge the defenseom the gardens of bakhmut, the enemy tried to continue the success, advance towards ivanivskyi, having failed, tries to advance in the shackles of the ticks on capturing, capturing the heights... chiivkas are there, not even landings, but the remains of landings, but we also had a problem with this, that it can be recaptured, it is impossible to gain a foothold there, and the enemy has the same problem. i believe that we have now made a rational decision to maintain a reasonable defense, that is, it is better for the enemy to run in open terrain, at a time when the front is saturated with drones, kamikaze drones, reconnaissance drones, drops, because the situation changed significantly when a significant... significant part of the functions of assault infantry are now played by fpv drones, and drones with drops, that allows a significant part of the reconnaissance activities of our intelligence service to be carried out by drones, reconnaissance drones, both night and day, the war is h

colleague serhii sgurets, director of the defense express agency. serhii, congratulations, you have a word. i congratulate you, yuriy, i congratulate our viewers. today, in our column, we will talk about the war, about the mobilization of technologies that should eliminate the superiority of the russian army in numbers, and about what ukraine will do with the secret documentation on russian military development, which was obtained by the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense. more on that in a moment. ukraine adapted to massive enemy assaults and prevented russia from achieving its strategic goals in donetsk region and kharkiv oblast, russia's winter offensive failed. such an optimistic conclusion of the german publication "bilt" is now multiplying on various networks and already in our publications. the armed forces manage to disrupt practically for months. all russian offensives and to exact a huge blood and material tribute from russia for its futile offensive efforts, writes bild. however, in my opinion, it is unlikely that we c

the f-16 planes also have to significantly strengthen the defense of the sky. the west promised to provide more than 60 fighters capable of intercepting the enemy's cruise missiles. but their provision is delayed. this week at the danish ministry of defence reported that the first f-16s will arrive in ukraine no earlier than the second quarter, and not at the beginning of the year, as planned. the reason is related to the training schedule of ukrainian pilots and the work on infrastructure preparation. the enemy understands the risks of the appearance of the f-16, which is why it constantly attacks ukrainian military airfields, in particular , the starokontins regularly fly shaheds, cruise missiles and air ballistic daggers, and also buys weapons from its few allies, in particular, the north korean dictator kimchanin gave putin ballistic kn-23 missiles, which... the russians have already hit the center of kharkiv, because of this , the un security council was meeting urgently, because the dprk is under sanctions, and cooperation with it in the military sphere i

defense. those who were in bakhmut, those who are in bakhmut now, do not tell about the presence of any defensiveres there, any lines, positions were prepared, the city was not prepared for defense. it is purely tactical local cells of resistance, which were organized at the level of battalions of brigades, and not at the level of operational groupings. personally, in my opinion, let's put it this way, it was worth immediately withdrawing to the lines advantageous for defense, giving the territory to the enemy, but preserving, first of all, human territory. no allies will give us infantry and, accordingly, keep a huge amount of the same ammunition with the production of which the world defense industry is still unable to cope with. i am personally inclined to the fact that it was worth retreating. well, but it would, for example, not work anywhere offensive, the same wagner infantry, which would not have stopped after they captured bakhma. yes, i think we would try to go further.

consulting companies, as one of the tools for strengthening the country's defense forces. in ukraine , by the way, several draft laws regarding private military companies were prepared, but the work on them was never completed, so what experiences and practices ukraine should take into account right now in the conditions of war, what pros and cons there might be. and the second topic for discussion is - expansion of citizens' rights to own firearms. it would seem that after the 22nd year, the need for an adequate law on weapons, an increase in the percentage of gun owners in the state - these are things that were clearly understood and society demanded such a certain liberal law on weapons. let me remind you that in the first reading , the bill on the right to civilian firearms in ukraine was adopted a day before its commencement. active phase of the war on 23 july 22, but now the second reading of this draft law is being prepared in the parliament and a significant the number of amendments to this document, and in fact, in this regard, the amendments can be regarded rather

to use all these infantry assaults to use manpower, trying to still push there somewhere on... the defense forces near the steppe and again trying to get out for sewing and increasing the north of the northern call center with the help of an exit to the operational space near smetevo cheretyany. the southern flank of avdiiv's defensive operations, so to speak, remains difficult, but stable. there are no insignificant enemies there success, no absolutely nothing. continues again. an attempt to enter the city through the industrial zone , that is, an attack is made through the industrial zone to enter the city, into residential buildings, namely the old part of the city of avdiivka, which is more, ah, the buildings there are single-story private houses, and accordingly they try to enter the first houses, tries to gain a foothold there, unsuccessfully. mr. maksym, from which side are they trying to enter the city, once again entering from the pom zone zone, that is, the zone of this clean water planter, and accordingly, when they cross it, they try to enter certain houses through the spomzon,

the defense forces will continue measures to expand the bridgehead. the occupiers fired five rockets and 25 air strikes, carried out more than 30 attacks from rocket salvo systems on the positions of our troops and populated areas. the ukrainian defense forces struck the areas of concentration of enemy personnel five times from the air, and also hit two enemy control points. even the jordanian water covered them, another 800 russian invaders were eliminated by the armed forces of ukraine in the last day. so the nearly 364,000 occupiers who have died since the start of the full-scale invasion will never get a chance to dive again. opolonko, also for yesterday's strength defenses burned seven enemy tanks, 16 armored combat vehicles and 13 art systems. in addition, one and a half dozen of their drones, several air defense systems and a rocket salvo fire system were landed. the data added by the general staff are indicative. the new rules for importing humanitarian aid have changed the work of volunteers. how did they affect the activities of charitable f

-industrial complex and the transfer of the center of gravity to the domestic defense industry, so that we produce weapons and cover at least 30% of the army's needs on our own, and finally, the fourth challenge is the latest technologies, this what i just told you. knew that we need to make a hyperjump and go to, if it is about anti-aircraft defense, then it is the use of laser systems, if it is about damage, then the use of electromagnetic weapons was developed by us. to of a large-scale invasion, electromagnetic weapons, well, of course, weapons for this are weapons based on new physical principles, together with rebov's, let's say, modern systems, these five challenges are key for us for the 24th year, while five this challenge, it is, so to speak , directed into the future to ensure a successful confrontation with the enemy russia. then, when the war starts, so to speak, or it will be in this form, when ukraine clears its territory of the enemy at a level, well, at some level, at which we can, or it will be frozen, it is also impossible , it cannot be rejected, because we

the very idea of ​​the lviv defense cluster. first of all, what led to this? that in fact we do not have time to start production, because it will be 3-4 weeks. in 3-4 weeks, the country may not exist, we needed to produce tomorrow, being in another region, without money, without machines, without anything. that's how they started to produce. hundreds of bulletproof vests per day. the means of protection of this production fully meet the standards of dstu. body armor weighs from eight to 10 kg, depending on the type of steel, the cost is a little more than 500 uah. a military body armor, that is, it needs three main, non-common elements: this the case of the body armor itself, it is soft armor, the military body armor must hold the bullet for the draganov sniper rifle, the kalashnikov assault rifle, and the assault rifle. kalashnikov, that is , it will already belong from the fourth grade and above, that is. in september 2022 , volunteers made half a thousand protective vests for the evacuation of children. enterprises also sew lightweight bulletproof vests fo

in the context of kyiv's support, the bulgarian defense minister said that the shipment of 100 defenseersonnel carriers to ukraine has not yet begun. the same applies, for example, to canada, which officially appealed to the united states with a request to transfer the nasams system to ukraine as soon as possible, which was paid for almost a year ago. why does this happen? why are these lengthy processes, it is logistics , it is bureaucracy, this is the root cause of the fact that kyiv cannot receive the promised aid, you know, just last week i had discussions with representatives of canada and the expert environment, and they were really shocked that how does it happen that the decisions were agreed upon, and they take the new ones very seriously, let's say, negatively. that nasams has not yet been installed, that is, they are now calling on the canadian government and politicians to take measures there, i think that is why canada and activated there are a number of explanations for this , it is a bureau, it is a bureaucracy first of all, i will give you an example, you know, for exam

is this in advance, the idea is a failure. a defense can only be successful if it is activethe scale of activity, we should talk about it. i would... for those who are interested in the problem of war, i would advise them to re-read the interview that the bbc took from the former commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, general muzhenko, he shares his vision and recommends moving to a strategic defense, periodically launching counterattacks, here i share precisely this point of view, because if the enemy does not want to... bind our will, in the end he will will seize the initiative and make you play by his rules, this is the way to advice. look, well, of course we understand, and at least we heard. it is already from the russians that the russian occupation army is still going to take offensive actions, this year they did not succeed in these large-scale actions, but we heard, for example, at putin's press conference, he said there that they have already concentrated 600,000 of their of the military precisely in the area of ​​hostilities, well , actually, how do y

, as soon as possible to tighten additional elements of the same air defense systems, but they tighten those elements, the air defense system is not perfect, well, for example, in the feadosia region, the russians have deployed a complex of modern s-400 air defense systems, which should protect all military facilities, both on the territory of fidos and its surroundings, but we remember the wonderful shelling that happened in the waters of the fidosian seaport, as a result of which in... the landing ship novocherkas turned into a heap scrap metal it's obvious that the enemy's effective anti-aircraft system wasn't working if our stormshadows and scalps were calling where they were supposed to be calling. i think that there will be more and more such cases in the future, because it is thanks to such activities that we can systematically and methodically turn the entire enemy's military potential into ashes. yes, i understand that there is a lot of work ahead, but the fact that our system operators, our rocket engineers approach this work with the utmost care and quality, whi

it was one of the most powerful defensive structures in europe. tion of the battery began at the beginning of the 20th century and was completed only in 1934. 2.35 ditch guns located above the ground, were covered with a thick layer of armor. driven by seventeen electric motors, each tower could rotate 360°. could fire at a distance of up to 44 km. the underground reinforced concrete structures housed conning towers, utility storage rooms, living rooms, kitchens and power stations. the defenders of sevastopol called the battery a buried battleship. the battery was commanded by major gregory alexander. during the 16 days of the first german assault. the thirtieth battery fired 517 shells, its fire destroyed more than half of the manpower of the advanced german units, the battery opened fire on them, it hit not only this area where the cadets were fighting, it hit the concentration of germans at the alma station, i rushed there, after that the germans felt differently, they felt that... they scrambled, ran away and began to look like this anymore, th
