[00:00:00] and the issue of aiming, and the issue of time. maneuvering, and [00:00:03] the issue of targeting, these are all [00:00:07] quite complex technological [00:00:10] parts, and therefore it's impossible to adapt or transfer them, [00:00:13] for example, from armored vehicles to a missile. Well, it just [00:00:17] doesn't work, so accordingly, we are waiting for [00:00:20] these millions of promises to turn into [00:00:23] 10% real results [00:00:26] of training, just as I see it, this was one of, if we [00:00:30] talk about a certain political [00:00:33] component, due to the fact that the Minister of Defense [00:00:37] Fedorov, accordingly, who is now [00:00:39] retired, implemented a system of evaluation not based on [00:00:43] promises, but on results, [00:00:46] accordingly, the orders that [00:00:49] the Ministry of Defense made [00:00:53] changed significantly, and as a result, many did not [00:00:56] like it, meaning big money was the reason for this resignation. And [00:01:00] about what he spoke in his interview to Ukrainska Pravda. [00:01:03] In your opinion, how big is this [00:01:06] corruption margin that can [00:01:10] be hidden in all these current [00:01:13] defense orders, and how much can it affect [00:01:17] defense capability? [00:01:18] обороноздатність? [00:01:22] Look, I wouldn't say: corruption [00:01:25] margin, what is [00:01:27] included in earnings. Possible earnings, [00:01:31] accordingly, you developed something [00:01:34] unique, unique and very [00:01:36] effective, it really doesn't cost [00:01:40] tens of thousands of dollars, maybe its [00:01:43] production costs only a couple of thousand [00:01:46] dollars, but if your means [00:01:50] are effective, then in that case, it can be [00:01:53] ordered in sufficiently large volumes and [00:01:57] even with a large network, but this is not corruption. margin, but [00:02:00] if you [00:02:03] know that your means are not better than [00:02:06] others, that is, they show the same [00:02:09] effectiveness, and the volumes [00:02:12] of procurement are not because of the price, on the contrary, [00:02:15] the price of your product is higher than [00:02:19] the product of your competitors, then in [00:02:22] that case, and you negotiate [00:02:25] through your personal acquaintances with the Minister of [00:02:29] Defense. You negotiate with [00:02:32] other leaders of respective structural [00:02:35] units, then the question arises: this [00:02:38] is a corruption network, when the choice [00:02:41] is made not in favor of effectiveness, [00:02:44] but in favor of other interests in purchasing certain [00:02:48] products. What volume? And again, [00:02:52] I emphasize, it's hard [00:02:53] to say. [00:02:56] For a person who is at the front, it doesn't matter. [00:03:00] No, how much did that tool cost, which [00:03:04] helps him fight, it's all the [00:03:07] same to him, how much the state, what [00:03:11] paths it went through, who is the developer, the most [00:03:14] important thing is that it works effectively, [00:03:18] and if it works effectively, then in that [00:03:22] case, the soldier receives proper, [00:03:25] accordingly, provision, military [00:03:28] provision, with which he can fight. [00:03:31] But when this doesn't happen, when the tool that is bought [00:03:34] explodes in your hands, which [00:03:38] causes harm to health, and possibly takes [00:03:41] the lives of your comrades, [00:03:44] then this is exactly corruption, corruption that [00:03:47] is paid quite dearly, so I would like [00:03:51] competition to be more market-oriented [00:03:53] in terms of provision, [00:03:57] and orders, that is... [00:04:00] determined by effectiveness, the more effective a certain [00:04:04] product is, the more [00:04:07] orders will be placed for it, what volumes? Well, in my [00:04:10] opinion, based on certain [00:04:14] estimates, one must understand that some constructive changes need to be made to some [00:04:16] product, and then the price can double, [00:04:20] so it is very difficult [00:04:24] to estimate here, that is, it is important not to look for the past, in my [00:04:27] opinion, but now to ensure [00:04:30] the procurement of maximally effective means that [00:04:34] are effective both at the front, in defense, [00:04:37] anti-missile, anti-drone protection, and for [00:04:41] all deep strikes that Ukraine carries out against the enemy, [00:04:44] effectiveness must be in the first place, whoever [00:04:48] is effective gets more orders, and then, [00:04:51] if we start digging into the past, well, we can lose the war easily, [00:04:55] you know [00:04:57] that there is an example of the United States, which, [00:05:01] I don't remember, 15 years or longer, cannot choose a [00:05:05] standard pistol for their officers, [00:05:08] servicemen, they conduct dozens of competitions [00:05:12] every year, inclining sometimes to one Swiss [00:05:15] model, sometimes to another, then yet another, and it lasts [00:05:19] extremely long, but they have time, they have [00:05:23] weapons that work normally, we don't have [00:05:26] time, and so how to combine the need to make [00:05:29] quick, effective decisions, and the fact that [00:05:33] behind every decision there can be some hypothetical kickback, [00:05:36] back office and and this [00:05:39] kickback of some billions. [00:05:44] What did Fedorov implement? He implemented a system [00:05:48] where you cannot realize your personal [00:05:51] interest, there is statistics, statistics of [00:05:55] hits, there is accordingly, you know [00:05:58] who, you know what products, you have [00:06:02] documentary video proof, you have video confirmation [00:06:05] of hits and you see the effectiveness of these [00:06:09] hits, this is essentially how he destroyed that... [00:06:12] lie that was present in the army, when [00:06:15] they wrote down and recorded hits, [00:06:19] effectiveness, holding positions, and so on, this significantly [00:06:23] decreased, and this is exactly the path to our [00:06:26] victory. Panel, [00:06:28] excuse me, I'll interrupt you, but you're now talking about drones, and with drones [00:06:32] things aren't so bad, thanks to Fedorov, thanks to possibly those decisions that were made before [00:06:36] him, and will continue to be made. The question is how to move to a qualitatively [00:06:40] new level when we talk about the ballistic program. We've been talking about this for the second [00:06:43] hour today. We need something like a real national [00:06:47] program, where the best minds of this country are involved, in [00:06:50] combination with the best minds, perhaps, of our European allies. I don't [00:06:54] know, maybe all this is actually happening, I just see the [00:06:58] statements of Shtilerman in an interview with Gordon, where he basically [00:07:01] says something quite strange, like we just talked about them [00:07:05] soon shooting down Russian satellites, because it's an easy [00:07:08] target, that is, even for a non-specialist like us... [00:07:12] No, it's clear that these are quite audacious statements that are difficult [00:07:16] to back up in [00:07:16] reality. [00:07:20] I fully agree with you, and generally a lot of statements, [00:07:24] and some kind of tactics have emerged, maximum [00:07:27] statements, [00:07:30] sorry, uh, a lot of promises and [00:07:34] a lot of results, because let's compare what he said a year [00:07:37] ago, a year and a half ago, when he started his [00:07:41] public activity. And the progress, well, in my [00:07:44] opinion, is minimal. What needs to be redirected, [00:07:48] accordingly, to other directions? Is it financed in such [00:07:51] volumes as is financed for Flamingo, other [00:07:55] Ukrainian developments, design [00:07:58] bureaus that have decades of [00:08:02] success stories, that developed quite [00:08:06] effective means, why don't they receive [00:08:09] orders? And so, but should [00:08:12] this information be open? Well, that, in my opinion, is very difficult, because it [00:08:16] will precisely lead to the fact that as soon as the government [00:08:19] starts financing something, or if it becomes known to the enemy, then most [00:08:23] likely all its intelligence centers will be aimed at [00:08:27] detecting this production and hitting it, therefore, in this [00:08:31] regard, the processes within the [00:08:34] Ministry of Defense and within [00:08:37] state funding must [00:08:39] change. how to ensure [00:08:43] funding for what is effective? Perhaps [00:08:46] we need to have discussions and integrate, and this is happening in principle [00:08:50] with European partners regarding [00:08:53] certain components [00:08:56] for their products, but again, [00:08:59] how to change this? This must be solely [00:09:03] direct changes in the Ministry of Defense, when [00:09:06] they finance not with statements, and whoever is more [00:09:10] present in the media and more promoted, but [00:09:13] they finance based on results, whoever [00:09:16] strikes the enemy more, more effectively strikes [00:09:19] the enemy, with fewer financial resources. I [00:09:23] want to say here that I read a comment from [00:09:26] Mykhailo Podoliak, advisor to the [00:09:30] president, regarding the appointment of Mr. Umerov [00:09:34] as head, head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, I will not [00:09:37] comment and I don't ask you to do so about the fact of this appointment itself, I don't [00:09:41] know, maybe it's a good appointment, maybe Mr. Umerov will [00:09:44] cope very well with what is expected of him now, the question is [00:09:48] different: Mr. Podoliak says that this is a good [00:09:51] example when a person from politics comes to such a [00:09:54] position, and this is an example of [00:09:57] civilian political control over [00:10:00] the processes taking place in the army, special services, and so [00:10:02] on, and besides the United States, I don't [00:10:06] know where such appointments concern intelligence, well, [00:10:09] because there was Tools and Gabbert not long ago, they discussed, but [00:10:13] if we talk about Europe, I tried to study this issue, and I [00:10:16] saw that, for the most part, these are still career [00:10:20] intelligence officers, but there is always some [00:10:23] superstructure that controls the activities of intelligence, there is always [00:10:27] a superstructure that controls the activities, [00:10:29] for example, [00:10:32] in the armed forces and so on, so how much, in your opinion, [00:10:36] on the other side, so to speak, as a person who is [00:10:39] part of the army, the armed forces, in your opinion, should [00:10:42] this political control remain, what kind [00:10:46] should it be, or is it in principle necessary during [00:10:49] wartime, and how can we also possibly avoid [00:10:52] some risks, I don't know, influences, [00:10:55] I don't know, of Russia, the enemy, for example, in such cases, [00:10:59] access to information, some sensitive information, which [00:11:01] is possessed by, [00:11:04] well, the question is, you understand, political control during [00:11:08] wartime, in my opinion, is impossible, [00:11:12] politicians think about elections, politicians think about their [00:11:15] electoral attractiveness, they [00:11:18] think about future elections predominantly, and possibly [00:11:22] even all, as a result... they may [00:11:25] use [00:11:28] this or that information for their own interests, and [00:11:31] this will harm us. Civilian [00:11:34] control, in my opinion, is more [00:11:37] effective, it [00:11:40] ensures, and here the question is only what [00:11:44] should be available to civilian [00:11:47] control, should any content of [00:11:51] any operations be available? No, all this must be post- [00:11:55] fact, that is, only after everything [00:11:58] has happened, if there are questions from [00:12:00] society, if something is done, [00:12:04] well, frankly, this is not the result [00:12:06] of any [00:12:08] not recalculations, but still the enemy also [00:12:12] carries out certain [00:12:15] countermeasures in response, the question is [00:12:18] how much this or that decision [00:12:20] was, well, within that time, [00:12:24] correctly. So, we need to determine what information is available, not all [00:12:28] information, in my opinion, should go [00:12:31] beyond the Ministry of Defense, or the [00:12:34] General Staff, that is, it should always remain there. [00:12:38] Perhaps the time will come, the war will end, certain [00:12:41] memoirs will be published and there will be an [00:12:44] evaluation, but what needs to be done, if we talk about [00:12:48] procurement, then remember that this step, which was [00:12:51] taken after outrageous acts of [00:12:55] procurement at inflated prices were revealed, [00:12:58] it was this that led to the task being [00:13:02] set to establish public control, [00:13:05] first civilian control over non-military procurement, [00:13:08] now partially even military, [00:13:12] and this makes it possible to make correct decisions, [00:13:15] that is, you no longer think with some personal interests [00:13:19] or political directives, you already [00:13:22] understand that above you stand [00:13:25] those who, within their powers and within the available [00:13:29] information, will draw conclusions, but [00:13:32] political control, in my opinion, today [00:13:35] is, well, not that it is risky, very [00:13:39] risky, not even because there are still traitors [00:13:42] of Ukraine in parliament who [00:13:45] worked for the enemy, it's even a question of [00:13:48] them having access to certain information within their powers, but [00:13:52] in the context that politicians [00:13:56] think about elections and hardly think about [00:13:59] how to achieve maximum effectiveness on the [00:14:03] battlefield. Thank you for the conversation, Yulian Skhodovsky was with us, [00:14:06] serviceman of the 24th separate mechanized brigade, [00:14:10] freelance expert of the National Interests Protection Network [00:14:13] Ans, I will summarize our [00:14:16] voting results a little, we asked if you are ready to provide pre-medical [00:14:19] assistance if such a situation suddenly [00:14:23] arises, and two. 27%, a number that surprised [00:14:27] me a little, even, chose [00:14:30] the option that they had already passed a pre-medical assistance course, [00:14:34] which is not insignificant, 20% generally said that [00:14:37] they always carry a tourniquet or [00:14:40] a first aid kit, and 10% honestly admitted that [00:14:43] they would save themselves first, well, and [00:14:47] 43% the majority will still [00:14:50] leave the rescue to professional doctors, [00:14:53] here is our current option: answers, well, and [00:14:57] we now, we have one more topic, [00:15:00] let's talk a little about how farmers today in super difficult [00:15:03] conditions, we have an incredible, very large [00:15:06] number of attacks on Ukrainian ports occurring [00:15:10] throughout July, they took place, it seems, a record [00:15:13] number, and accordingly, we now have a serious [00:15:16] problem, just as the Novorossiysk Russian port [00:15:19] is practically blocked, the largest companies are already refusing to work [00:15:23] in the Black Sea with... Russian ports, but in Odesa, unfortunately, [00:15:27] the situation is the same, mirrored, and Denys Marchuk is [00:15:31] already with us, Deputy Head of the All-Ukrainian Agrarian Council. Mr. Denys, I greet [00:15:35] you, I greet you. They say that the harvest [00:15:38] this year is not bad, at least for grain, but [00:15:42] the question is how to export it. What is the current [00:15:44] situation? Yes, that's right, the situation is difficult, [00:15:48] but in parallel, farmers are working in the fields. Today, more than [00:15:52] 17 million tons have already been harvested, [00:15:55] almost 18, to be more precise, and accordingly, grain [00:15:59] and legume crops, and the main question is what to do with all this, because [00:16:03] usually during this period, there is an active campaign for export [00:16:06] through the ports of Odesa. Farmers receive money, and with this money [00:16:10] they buy new equipment [00:16:13] to conduct their campaign, that is, they buy [00:16:16] fuel, pay taxes, pay wages, prepare [00:16:20] for harvesting late grain crops, and prepare for [00:16:23] sowing winter crops, which will begin soon in the south of [00:16:27] Ukraine, but in these conditions, we state that today [00:16:30] what they are harvesting is unprofitable, for example, food [00:16:34] wheat currently in European ports [00:16:37] costs about up to 300 dollars. In Ukraine, wheat is [00:16:41] sold for 5,000, in the northern [00:16:44] regions it's only 3 to 3,500 UAH per [00:16:48] ton, which means catastrophic losses, and this is one of [00:16:51] the key issues on the agenda, which is currently being discussed between [00:16:55] farmers and the new [00:16:57] Cabinet of Ministers, the new Ministry of Agrarian Policy. On Sunday, a [00:17:01] meeting was held with the Prime Minister of Ukraine, where what to do and how to be [00:17:05] was discussed, and [00:17:07] the letter that we, as the All-Ukrainian Agrarian Council, sent with specific [00:17:11] proposals for support, and it concerns namely [00:17:14] lending, I emphasize that this is not some kind of distribution of funds, these [00:17:18] are actually loans that will be repaid, and it is very [00:17:21] important to find this financing, otherwise we will stop in [00:17:25] a very inconvenient, we will find ourselves in an inconvenient situation, difficult [00:17:28] situation, when many will be forced to suspend their activities, [00:17:32] and the discussion here is not only about producers, because [00:17:35] the chain is interconnected. [00:17:37] works that can be provided from agriculture for [00:17:41] other industries, they are also high, plus we must understand that behind [00:17:45] every cultivated field are the owners of this field, [00:17:48] that is, the farmer who leases these shares, it is necessary to [00:17:51] pay people money for shares, and from the money for shares, [00:17:55] taxes are paid, for example, personal income tax, which [00:17:58] goes to local communities, accordingly, if they are not paid, [00:18:02] then it turns out that local communities face difficulties with [00:18:05] ensuring economic... economic viability of their [00:18:09] region, and from them there is also a percentage deduction for the Armed Forces of [00:18:13] Ukraine, so you know, there are very big consequences from one problem, from [00:18:17] one problem called Russia, which [00:18:20] actually with its attacks blocked [00:18:23] the possibility of ships arriving that were loading [00:18:27] Ukrainian grain. Can the state, for example, [00:18:30] organize grain storage, somehow go this [00:18:34] way, create some banks, uh... [00:18:37] conditionally speaking, of products? [00:18:40] We do not have such an acute problem today, [00:18:43] but in autumn this problem will be acute, because we will start [00:18:47] harvesting corn, and in this season the indicator should also be quite [00:18:51] good, about 33 million tons, if we look at the [00:18:54] conditions that exist today, plus we still have, besides [00:18:58] the current campaign, we also have quite high carry-over stocks [00:19:02] from last season, which could not be realized, up to 10 million tons, [00:19:06] accordingly, this also greatly affects storage systems and prices, [00:19:09] so we also need to think. If we do, as an option, today [00:19:13] the possibility of implementing polymer sleeves at enterprises [00:19:16] is being discussed, this is a technology that allows [00:19:20] storing up to 200 tons of products in one bag, and [00:19:23] businesses, which are already [00:19:26] thinking ahead, have started contracting to buy these [00:19:29] bags, but in [00:19:33] one period of time, again, there is no possibility to satisfy everyone's needs, so [00:19:37] we... the Council is also now very actively looking through donors [00:19:41] for these bags to be sent first of all to the [00:19:44] frontline territories, because that's where the worst [00:19:47] situation is, because they have few storage systems, [00:19:50] and accordingly, it's hardest for them in conditions where [00:19:54] late grain crops will be harvested, so [00:19:58] we are working on this. If it succeeds, it will be good, if not, [00:20:01] we need to say that a significant part of the carry-over [00:20:05] stocks, which will not remain for the next year... we will simply [00:20:08] lose them. Finally, we have literally a minute [00:20:12] left, can road transport solve the problem if it doesn't [00:20:16] recover? No, no, the volumes are very small, [00:20:19] road transport is at best, well, we received statistics for July, [00:20:22] about 300 tons of unloading, while we [00:20:26] should probably ship at least 5 [00:20:29] million tons. The Danube is also an alternative, [00:20:33] but well, roughly 50% of what [00:20:36] was needed, so... if it works, of course, everyone will [00:20:40] use it, even if it's more expensive, but we will go, but this does not [00:20:44] solve the global situation, and in that context, it is very [00:20:47] important for us to have international recognition [00:20:50] so that there are certain comments from international communities [00:20:54] on the actions of the aggressor country, because the economic problem [00:20:57] will be not only for farmers, the problem will be hunger for many [00:21:01] countries in the world, let me remind you that about 6-7% [00:21:04] of food wheat came from the territory of Ukraine, more than 11% of [00:21:08] corn, and these are large volumes for countries in Asia, Africa, [00:21:11] and the Middle East. Well, finally, I'll ask one more thing, were there any complaints that [00:21:15] in previous years during storage... when there was grain, [00:21:19] then a lot was written off [00:21:22] as rodents and so on, and I suspect that [00:21:26] not always could the grain that was under supervision be saved. [00:21:30] Look, we are talking about state [00:21:32] structures, there are such moments that, yes, they are, [00:21:36] but now there are a lot of private storage [00:21:39] systems, elevators, that are used, and [00:21:42] mostly, well I am not ready to comment on what [00:21:46] I am not involved in, but well, the same ones I read and see that [00:21:50] such moments happened, but conclusions were drawn, I think [00:21:53] they no longer work with such companies. Thank you, [00:21:57] Denys Marchuk was with us, Deputy Head of the All-Ukrainian [00:22:00] Agrarian Council. I am summarizing the final results of our [00:22:03] voting, we asked if you are ready to provide pre-medical assistance [00:22:07] to victims of shelling if such a situation suddenly [00:22:11] arises for you, and 27%, I will remind [00:22:14] you again, I am impressed by the number, even passed [00:22:17] special courses and are ready to do it, another 10. 20% do not [00:22:21] part with tourniquets and first aid kits when they leave home, [00:22:24] almost half, well and 43%, [00:22:27] honestly, will still leave this rescue task to [00:22:31] professionals, doctors and rescue services. I [00:22:34] thank everyone who watched our program today and participated in [00:22:38] the survey, in particular, and in fact, I want to [00:22:42] wish you only one thing, a calm evening, [00:22:45] a calm night and take care [00:22:46] of yourselves. [00:23:06] mobile phone, saying that, oh, this is such a [00:23:09] modern, cool phone, so many [00:23:13] functions, and a touchscreen, and [00:23:17] such possibilities, but you, firstly, you can't [00:23:21] figure out half the functions, half of them you [00:23:24] don't even need in general, because a mobile phone, we need it mostly [00:23:28] for communication, to be in touch, here [00:23:31] is a loud speaker, which is important, you will hear it, [00:23:34] if you are an older person, you already have problems not only with [00:23:38] vision, here you see the large numbers, but also with hearing, and [00:23:41] it is loud, it really rings quite loudly, [00:23:45] and what will be the price, such phones actually in [00:23:48] stores now you will not buy such, practically [00:23:52] oh, such an affordable seriously [00:23:56] less than 1000 [00:23:58] UAH, 999 UAH, yes, this is a new [00:24:01] phone, for a second, [00:24:04] a brand new phone from the box, brand new, it's not like you're buying [00:24:08] a used one at a pawnshop, or what, they are very [00:24:11] pleasant, light, despite the fact that it has a good battery, it's [00:24:15] practically not felt in the hand, and it has a good panel. [00:24:18] that will not deteriorate, you see, there is a flashlight, a camera at the back, [00:24:22] by the way, a camera, a flashlight, how to turn on the flashlight, let me show you, [00:24:26] to unlock it, you press the top, and you press [00:24:29] the asterisk, you hold it, [00:24:32] you see, zero, the flashlight is drawn here, if, [00:24:35] so you don't forget, you just hold zero and it [00:24:38] turns on, here, the flashlight turns on, you came home, and you can't [00:24:42] get the key into the keyhole, you already pressed the button, [00:24:45] you can simultaneously do something and call someone [00:24:48] with the flashlight. And also, to turn it off, you press [00:24:52] the button, you turn it off, here the flashlight is off, so it's very [00:24:55] convenient, look, even for two SIM cards, if you [00:24:59] For example, you have one child on one SIM card, another on a different SIM card, you can [00:25:03] keep in touch with them. So, regarding the menu itself, [00:25:06] you have everything you need. Here are [00:25:08] contacts, you can write messages, here are calls, [00:25:12] call log, so you don't have to search in contacts, but can quickly [00:25:15] go here. And some, for example, a gallery, [00:25:19] some photos. Here are the general settings, you can choose [00:25:21] music. So, there are even games, you can [00:25:25] even entertain yourself with something, listen to music, you have a [00:25:29] calendar, well, it's very convenient. So, [00:25:32] very compact, comfortable, convenient, reliable. It's not something that [00:25:36] fell and broke, so, or already scratched somewhere, and [00:25:39] it looks very stylish, I really like it. Here, you can also [00:25:43] plug in headphones, I'll show you now, you see, there's a headphone [00:25:46] jack. And for charging, you get a charger, [00:25:50] and there's also type-c. Cool, it's a [00:25:54] universal charger like [00:25:56] type-c, super. Plug it in, charge it. [00:26:00] If you basically use it not... as [00:26:03] for calls, to make calls, receive calls, it will last you for [00:26:06] a week, it seems, with such a battery that's here, it will really [00:26:10] last you for a very, very long time. So, that's why it's awesome, [00:26:13] listen, I like it so much, it's one of my favorite mobile [00:26:17] phones right now, specifically for its design. And it's important [00:26:20] that the phone is reliable. What is a phone [00:26:23] for? All these different smartphones, you know, [00:26:27] they steal time, they [00:26:29] just, well, really. You pick up that phone, and you [00:26:33] immediately get stuck. Look at people on the subway, somewhere in transport, [00:26:37] everyone is a zombie on their phone. I remember once I used to travel by [00:26:40] train in my student years, I traveled [00:26:44] by train to university, from university. [00:26:47] Oh God, I remember those golden times when not only [00:26:51] did people in the compartment talk, but by the middle of the trip, the whole car [00:26:55] would share what they had, who had something to eat, everyone talked. But [00:26:58] now everyone comes in, you'll be lucky to even hear "hello", headphones... [00:27:02] ears and everyone is on their phones. So, it steals so much [00:27:06] time, steals attention. People don't notice how seasons [00:27:09] change, how, I don't know, how people around them change. [00:27:13] But this is a phone that has essential, key functions. [00:27:17] A phone is needed to make a call, to [00:27:20] receive a call, to write in case [00:27:23] you can't call, because you will be, for example, bothering, or something [00:27:27] to warn, or there not urgently, you can [00:27:30] write something and... take a photo, and you have a calendar, and [00:27:34] you have a flashlight, more functions than needed, and it won't be like you accidentally [00:27:38] clicked something, pressed some buttons, went [00:27:41] somewhere unclear, you call [00:27:44] your children, "I can't figure out what to do, how should [00:27:48] I be now, how and where to press, how to exit [00:27:51] from there." Convenient, understandable, exactly what you need. So [00:27:54] you should definitely get it. You have two minutes [00:27:57] to order it at a [00:28:00] special price. So hurry up. [00:28:15] The world has changed, a real war intertwined with a hybrid [00:28:19] war. Fakes change reality. This is just senseless [00:28:22] propaganda, like in Soviet times. Vitaliy Portnikov and the Espresso [00:28:26] host in the Saturday political club discuss the main events of the week [00:28:29] through the prism of critical thinking. Only those who [00:28:33] are ready to defend themselves will survive here. Do not let yourself be manipulated, follow the [00:28:36] events of today to understand the future, together with the [00:28:40] Saturday political club project, every Saturday on [00:28:42] Espresso. [00:28:45] We are raising funds for a Repeater and two engines for medical evacuation [00:28:48] vehicles for servicemen of special operations forces who defend our [00:28:52] country in the eastern direction. The enemy put out of [00:28:55] action cars that are used to evacuate [00:28:58] the wounded from the front lines, so we ask [00:29:01] for help with fundraising. Without our help, [00:29:04] our female paramedics will not cope. Let's help [00:29:07] save the lives of our wounded [00:29:10] defenders together. [00:29:24] Everything starts from here, from a simple [00:29:27] soldering iron, then microchips, wires, [00:29:30] transistors, all this gathers. together [00:29:34] and with these pieces of iron we create all sorts of miracles: [00:29:37] our toggle switch up, enemy bird down. [00:29:41] Our button on - video signal of wings [00:29:44] off. [00:29:47] I like that we see the results of our work immediately. You could [00:29:51] say, in real [00:29:54] Don't worry, these are our people working, working, meaning [00:29:58] protecting. In a word, we are working, because we are [00:30:02] the people who became the army. [00:30:16] 500 FPV drones, Matrix quadcopters, communication [00:30:19] devices and insignias. On Air Force Day of the AFU, the mayor of [00:30:22] Ivano-Frankivsk, Ruslan Martsinkiv, together with a team of volunteers, made another [00:30:26] trip to Ukrainian defenders. This time, aid was delivered [00:30:29] to Chernihiv and Sumy regions. [00:30:32] volunteer, accordingly, we are delivering those [00:30:36] requests from military units that [00:30:39] came to the Ivano-Frankivsk city council. Accordingly, [00:30:43] these are drones, these are generators [00:30:46] and communication devices. Ivano-Frankivsk residents met Air Force Day [00:30:50] together with servicemen of the legendary 114th Tactical [00:30:54] Aviation Brigade. Defenders were given Matrix [00:30:57] quadcopters and Chui drone detection systems.
