Consuls keep in touch with their relatives, the spokesman of the ministry of foreign affairs, oleg nikolenko, said in an espresso comment. Measures are being taken to organize the repatriation of the bodies of the dead. There is currently no information on the presence of ukrainian citizens among the wounded or missing, the embassy notes. Meanwhile, israel has officially implemented the socalled al 40th point, which means the introduction of a state of war. It was last installed in 1973 during the doomsday war. Meanwhile, the number the death toll from the hamas attack has already exceeded 400. More than 2 were injured. The israeli army is gradually regaining control over the border with the gas sector. In addition, there is a large number of hostages kidnapped by hamas, including both civilians and Israeli Military personnel. The israelis note that they do not yet know the exact number. But they are already saying that it will determine the course of this war. The lebanese militarypolitical organization hezbollah announced its support for hamas and fired at israeli positions on the border with the disputed territories, dutch heights. Militants fired a large number of rockets and hit israeli positions in the disputed area. A massive rally in support of the palestinians was held in lebanon. Before. Hezbollah organizations declared that they would intervene in the palestinianisraeli war if telyayev launched a ground operation against palestine. A video of the highway along which hamas militants attacked in israel appeared on the internet, dozens of mutilated cars were shot in uzbija, they were shot at close range along with the passengers. All this is reminiscent of the zhytomyr track, which russian terrorists broke through in the spring. To the capital, the book women at war stories by khrystyna parubiy was presented at the lviv book forum. These are 20 stories about female defenders who are now carrying out combat missions on the battlefield alongside men. Among them are combat medics, signalmen, scouts, teams. There is a story of a woman who was captured by the russians. The book became a continuation of the project that has been airing on the espresso tv channel since last year. The chief editor of the Publishing House decided to publish the stories two and a letter, leonid finberg. And a book in a few months. Will be on sale, i can see how difficult it is to do and ms. Khrystyna, for almost a decade we have been publishing books that, from our point of view, are important for our victory, it is difficult to talk about the symbolism of all the books, each of them is addressed depending on the topic of this book, i do not i planned books in general when i started the project, but i am happy now that it has grown into such a project and that now there are actually stories about those women. They will also be on paper, for me from another point of view it is very responsible, very often to write about them, because they tell their stories, these stories are not easy, but they tell it, they, so it is important for me to write about them truthfully, it is important for me to write, convey their emotions, conveying them so that it was really their story, 10 hryvnias are planned to be collected for the purchase of radio stations, copters and other equipment for engineering and sapper groups, support forces of the armed forces of ukraine. To collect funds, the First Charity festival was organized by the trainer of brave cities. Between discussions include a Photo Exhibition of photos from the deoccupied territories, a documentary vr project deoccupation and a location portrait of zadon. It will end with Charity Auctions and a big concert of ukrainian stars with songs. Temporarily occupied cities, you can visit the concert for a fee. The idea arose when new occupied cities and territories actually began to appear, and, that is, from the beginning of the fullscale invasion, we realized that there is a very strong narrative of the russians, ukraine is abandoning everyone, and this information wall began to be built, and we began to look for. Which in a way we can throw some messages there, all these narratives that were imposed on us for many years, we saw that we are not one people, we are very different culturally, mentally, and materially, that is, we are completely different, it is firstly, and secondly, when there was deoccupation, fortunately we, all these collaborators , they left the city, and we cleaned up, and today there are people in kherson who you look at as. At least potential partners. Maksym was seriously wounded while providing combat cover for a column of special equipment of the armed forces of ukraine at the beginning a fullscale invasion of russia on the territory of ukraine. Unfortunately, the doctors did not manage to save maxims left leg, but most importantly, they saved his life. Our correspondent Anna Morozova will tell about the boys Second Chance and struggle. Maksym kolisnyk, a veteran of the russianukrainian war. In 2017 , he guarded strategically important objects in the ato zone as part of the special police squad. Later, he detained particularly dangerous criminals, on february 24 , 2022, he also met with the service. On the borders of the sumy and poltava regions, they were carried out the task of intercepting sabotage groups, as the columns were active, columns, helicopters, helicopters, they were actively flying in , lets say, they made landings near us and we constantly monitored it, it was shelling, a concrete structure collapsed and collapsed, well, it completely collapsed, maxim had to amputate his left leg, from that moment the boy started a new life, it is necessary to activate the muscles immediately, to activate the blood to start working, that is, to start moving as early as possible, i took rubber there, just if i could not stand up, i just took rubber, stretched there are all kinds of them loads, so that the body feels that it is alive , that it must work, then the hard work began, maksym learned to walk again, at the same time he started his youtube channel, on which he publishes videos about phantom pains, crutches, gymnastics, physical exercises, etc. Says, when he was injured, he saw few experiences of living with a prosthesis among his compatriots, and foreign stories helped and motivated him a lot. The lions share of maxims life is training in the gym three times a week and swimming. I liked this kind of cardio, running, and boxing more activity, and now so. I got a little grounded, the pace of life became slower, mainly these are basic exercises for the upper shoulder girdle and the lower one. A new experience is sports competitions. In one of these, maksym showed good results and won a prize. In general, everyone would get used to it, well, over time , even to prostheses, i notice that people dont react in any way, that is, they are perceived as normal, and thats normal, if, well, how should the reaction be normal. Maksym kolisnyk revealed the secret of his own success. Take and do, thats what ill say, no matter what, you need to take it and work, dont stop. Anna morozova, bohdan proskurov from poltava for the tv channel. Such were the news at that time. The next edition, wait for it at 18. 00. Welcome to the espresso channel. Now everyone repeats that the war with russia is turning into an attrition format. Our partners are already beginning to fight, that the bottom can already be seen in their stockpiles of weapons, and now it is necessary to quickly and abundantly produce new ones for ukraine, because the war with russia has not yet reached a fundamental turning point. Arrived and for ukraine, this war of attrition, in my opinion, means the following we must define priorities in new realities, optimally use our own limited resources, update approaches to the development of the National Defense industry, remove artificial obstacles that prevent the development and production of our own weapons, and reformat approaches to the training and use of our troops in view of the new experience of combat operations. If. You dont do it, there will be losses and there will be a big fee. So in this edition of the war program, i i want to talk, first, about some problematic things that our Defense Enterprises are currently overcoming, and the second, of course, is about the combat experience of using both drones and Armored Vehicles on the battlefield. My name is serhii zguureyts, i am the director of the information and Consulting Company defense express, and my interlocutors today are managers and representatives of two leading Defense Companies of ukraine. And now we are joined by artem vyunnyk, he is the director of the Scientific Production enterprise, pantem, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear, congratulations, sergey, i congratulate you, i would like to remind you that your Company Supplies the armed forces with the furiya 1 unmanned artillery reconnaissance complex of fire correction, it has been put into service and is being mass produced, by the way, even before the start of the active phase of the war with the russian federation, and that during these 18 months of hostilities, your the Company Scaled up production multiple times, what used to be produced in a year is now produced in a month, so the need for a significantly larger amount of bpp is such, well , the first conclusion from what we made from this war, but what conclusions did you make about production and design changes and use and assistance in personnel training. Which fury then uses, what conclusions did you draw precisely after these 18 months of fighting through the prism of your enterprise . Yes, indeed, we have increased production, on the scale that it requires today, of course , there are a lot of conclusions, both organizational and technical, we are studying examples of foreign companies, we are studying the experience. Of applying solutions that are currently bring us much harm on the field of battle from our enemy, and of course, we work in the direction of Technical Development and development of our, lets say, engineering potential , in the direction of training our operators, lets say, before the war we did not engage in training, we were not involved in this, in fact, we exclusively trained instructors for Training Centers, to date we have already actively participated in this process, because we understand that there are not enough capacities and Training Centers that train operators for the furiya unmanned complex. Well, again, it must be said that the problems that, unfortunately, took place even before the war, before the fullscale invasion, they persist even today, and it seems to me that if you answer the question, you first asked what is needed in order to scale up, to further develop our military industry, i think that a very big, lets say, factor that affects, or can affect positively or negatively, and today, unfortunately, mostly negatively, is the timeliness of concluding contracts and the longterm duration of these contracts, that is, today we , as before, having formally, the defense order, the threeyear, we unfortunately have annual contracts that are signed at the end of the year, with execution until the end of the next, but it is not clear what will happen next, and unfortunately we fall into this trap where we cannot develop our capacity further, because we do not understand what will actually happen already next year, and then we receive a request from the military, how much can you, and of course, those capacities that are current, they do not correspond to the request of the military that currently exists , so it seems to me that it is necessary to develop such daily, daily. Communication with the military so that they understand, understand that production is not like today i ordered and tomorrow i received, because the logistics are very difficult, i think my colleagues will say, further, confirm this, that now what, for example, was supplied for a month or two, today is supplied for three or four months, and by the way, this is also a consequence of the fact that the capacities of foreign manufacturers are also not, with limits, no, they also have limits, and they too now they are adjusting, already in a year and a half the capacities have increased in ours as well suppliers, but still, this is not enough, having threeyear, at least, and preferably fiveyear contracts for our products, we could plan much more precisely and develop production both in a qualitative sense and in a quantitative sense. Mr. Artem, but in addition to longterm planning, another problem has unexpectedly been added that may affect the pace of the quality of our unmanned systems, i know that your company and a number of other companies have approached the general headquarters, literally yesterday or the day before yesterday, to solve the problem connected with reservation of employees of specialized Defense Industry enterprises, this applies to your company, kabluch, ukspectem, and other companies that really supply a significant number of samples of weapons for our army, what happened, what is the essence of the problem, at what stage is it now . Yes, sergey, this is a big problem, it is kind of absurd, in my opinion, because the companies that produce weapons, military equipment for the armed forces, which are so necessary today on the battlefield, received a refusal from the general staff, from the ministry of defense, in booking, employees, i. E. A total refusal, i understand that this may have happened due to certain technical nuances, but lets put it this way , today there is such a phenomenon as scarce specialties, these are usually quite highly qualified people, and for example, we have one of the well, the Key Employees of the companies, engineers, designers, they also have. These scarce specialties, and i understand that this situation arose due to the cancellation of certain regulatory documents in september of this year, but in fact we have the following situation october 10 ends prebooking, almost the overwhelming number, of our companys employees, and this means that actually from the 10th, any of these employees can be mobilized. Considering the fact that the documents were resubmitted only the day before yesterday, and only for the part of the employees who do not have these scarce specialties, i am predicting that this reservation will take place in another month, that is, what to do during this month people, who will actually be served with summonses and mobilized, to be honest, i dont know moreover, taking into account the fact that on. Even with existing reservation, we have cases almost every day when people are taken to tsk, in fact, there have even been cases under the threat of using weapons, the rhetoric of tsk employees is such that this is a piece of paper, an order from the ministry of the economy, this is a piece of paper that is worthless, and mostly this problem happens in our western regions for some reason, we also have production facilities there, er, i think that this problem should be paid attention to, and maybe it can be resolved at the legislative level, er, in fact, saying the following if the company fulfills a state contract for a defense order, that is, it is a defense procurement, then absolutely all employees should be banned, regardless of the percentage of employees and so on. By the way, there is also the problem of changing military accounting specialties, which took place in the 15th year and, it seems, later, and which also create huge problems today, because many of the veterans have military tickets with socalled outdated axes, when they come to the military headquarters to clarify these wasps, to correct these numbers, they actually find themselves in a situation where they also begin to be mobilized, i believe that we will still live in a legal country, we must obey the law, the law must be obeyed by everyone and in including employees of Territorial Assembly centers, this is a big problem, and in addition to everything , lets say, important for the country, there are also such issues, for example, as banal fines for enterprises, which to this day amount to crazy percentages, and from one on the one hand, we have mobilization. Of workers, potential, and on the other hand, we have obligations to the state with huge fines. How it can be combined during the war, well, to be honest, its unclear. We hope that our collective appeal, which we signed from several companies that received this refusal , will be somehow taken into account and the right decisions will be
