Tv, also on our social networks, join, put your favorites, then the terse with analytics will continue my colleagues oksana vasochanska and roman chaika, do not switch, stay with the espresso team. Good morning to those who joined eteri espresso, join our gathering, we will bring you double joy in the meantime, because at first we told you that from. Sizron we need sizron to bomb, two refineries are on fire, you can warm up there, this is the point indomitability in russia, besides, they are going on a farce, which they called for some reason elections, and here to make sure once again that if george orwell, who wrote the novel utopia 1984, would have come to russia to russia, these days, when he goes to elections, he would shoot himself, look at the election. An election observer would come to the precinct with an inspection, here she is, that halfwoman, artist, peoples artist of the Russian Federation, diana gurtskaya, well, if you dont know, she was blind from birth, she came blind, blind, to supervise putins fair, democratic elections , orwell would have shot himself. And now not about the farce, but about what is serious and what. It is necessary to talk about much more than this is all that we have already announced, about people, technologies and resources, this is all that is needed to the Ukrainian Army in order to effectively destroy our common enemy, and these three elements are actually called the key to victory in the davinci wolf battalion, the commander of this battalion, i will remind you, was the hero of ukraine dmytro kotsyubailo, our colleague, natalya stare pravo, spoke. With battalion soldier oleksandr yapchanka. He heads the Honor Company about finding new people, about values, and about how ukrainians can achieve victory. Lets look further together. Oleksandr yapchenko was there before the fullscale russian invasion doctor, adviser to the minister of health. In february. 2022, he joined the defense of ukraine, joined the Honor Company, which is part of the first separate mechanized battalion of vovka davinshi, on the battlefield he was a medic, aerial scout, infantryman, alexander was recently appointed commander of the Honor Company, now a soldier is rehabilitating after his third injury and is looking for new people, resources and technology. Ill start with technology, its no secret. The enemy has a greater mobilization resource by a factor of at least four to one, at least if we do not to inflict losses on them at least twice as much , at least eight to one, better still, then we have a high chance of being defeated in this war, and what is defeat for us, its a bum, a slob, a beard for everyone. And the territories are occupied by the Russian Federation , that is, the option of losing, well, i do not even consider such an option, the option of a draw, unfortunately, cannot be either, because they will not stop trying to destroy us as a country, so the only option left is to defeat russia in that form, in which it is now, i. E. To achieve its disintegration, by the way, there is such a document. Written by ukrainian intellectuals, it is called the manifesto of sustainable peace, it is detailed there, in order for us to achieve this result, we need to inflict more tangible losses on them than they inflict on us, in other words, at least, as i said, one to eight , better one, of course, up to 15, well, why not dream about it, how can we. Achieve it . Well, there is no doubt that this is a technological advantage, and we have already demonstrated it many times, at the beginning of a fullscale invasion, the surprise for the enemy was the use of mavics, simple wedding drones that changed the course of this war in many ways. Er, our next Successful Development is fpv drones, this is water drones. A wonderful example of what we can, after all, if we talk about how it happens directly on the battlefield, for example, when we fought near bakhmut, that road of life of chromov, or the road of life on bakhmut, then we inflicted losses on the enemy in a ratio somewhere 1 13, by others, how did it appear . We had a technological advantage in the means of observation of the enemy, that is, we saw everything takes place on the battlefield, and of course it is coordinated. Our actions, that is, it is possible , unfortunately, when we were already conducting combat operations near kupinsky, we no longer had this advantage, the advantage in the sky, in means of observation, we had parity, and to be completely honest, they already had more maviks , and they didnt just adjust the artillery with them, they already actively made resets with them, in the end, the first resets began to be made again by the ukrainians, what does this mean . If you look at it from a philosophical point of view, a free mind, that is, the mind of a free man, that is, the mind of a person in a Free Democratic country can come up with something new, but a totalitarian country simply takes it and apes it, further scales it up, so if we want to defeat the enemy, and we want to, we are simply doomed to run a halfcorpse ahead in technological. Terms. Now the next component is resources. War is expensive, technological war is very expensive. But it saves money. First of all, the most valuable resource is human. It saves a persons life. And here the question is not only that in war it is the most valuable resource. The question is that we we are fighting for a democratic state. In which the highest value is the life of a citizen, and of course we must make every effort to preserve as many lives as possible of our fellow citizens who have taken up arms. How can those citizens who are in the rear can participate in this economically. Here are the people who call themselves the economic front, i would just like to ask. To really be a front, what does it mean when you are at the front, you get up and go to bed with one single thought, how do you defeat the enemy, that is, how do you accomplish the task that is set before you . Yes the economic front, if it is really a front, should wake up and go to bed with exactly this thought. What does this mean in practice . If there are people who actually call themselves that, then be kind, just unite with the same ones. By people like you, who also consider themselves an economic front, and this is extremely important. Take a specific brigade or at least a battalion and provide it with everything you need. In addition to what the state provides, you must also provide this battalion, the ideal brigade, with what the state cannot fully provide, such as with the same innovations, because the state. Picks up grassroots initiatives, and this is very cool, but these initiatives have to come from somewhere, and only inventors are not enough here, there must be people here who will finance these inventions, there must be people here, who will buy the necessary parts for one or another, for example, our innovative ground robotic complexes, after all, thats how we started, i appeal to the economic front, fight. Fight side by side with us, economically, but really fight, because if they knock us out, then you will have to fight on the real front, and if you refuse to fight, then the aggressor state will come after you, after we are defeated, because if there is no one to fight, then, unfortunately, it will end very, very badly for us. And now we move on to the third part, its people, its probably the most important thing in war, its motivated people, and, unfortunately, there is no other option in our situation than to mobilize, and citizens must understand what the situation is when we win. Either we, or they will beat us, the option of losing, for them this is the same mobilization, only mobilization to the enemy army, and in the first case, when you get into the army of your own country, in particular, when you get into welfare, then you get where you are equal with an equal, you get where you are valued , where your life is the highest value in the. Unit, if we are defeated, then you will end up in a very bad army, where they will not have you as a person. And where they will gladly throw you into the same local assaults, i saw these assaults, i repelled these assaults, we do not have a recruiting office in the center in kidavich no bureaucratic complications , well, that is, you came, uh, we talked to you, well , first you called, you were invited here, or you were offered to fill out a questionnaire, uh, then you came here, you were told all uh. Options, where you can go get in, and then you, well, then theres a certain procedure, of course, but you can just go and try, you can hang out with the boys for a while, it doesnt guarantee, well, with the boys , with the girls, it doesnt guarantee, well, thats it does not oblige you to sign a contract, just what is the difference between forced mobilization and between, after all, recruiting and between the fact that. That you go on a contract, after all, when you go on a contract, it is your conscious decision, and you go exactly where you decided to go, and also, what is important , you can go there together with your friends, for example, if you live somewhere nearby, you know each other, or you, or you have just been friends for a long time, then you are guaranteed that you will not just get into the same battalion, or not just one company, then you will be in the same department, you will simply be around the whole war, of course, well that for us, the value is when people come together. A citizen of the republic is obliged, precisely obliged, to defend his republic in case it is threatened with danger, but a citizen of the republic has the right to choose the unit in which he will do it. We dont take it when we understand that, after all, its better for a person, uh. Uh, well, to choose some other option, to help the state, i said about those options in my previous speech, uh, but we dont have a very strict selection, so dont be afraid, this is not a story that they will force you right here, well, sorry, to show your combat skills, no, in no way, come, well, at least it does not oblige you to anything, well, at least get to know the military, in us. To the recruiting center, people who, oh, took out such battles, right there now sits a man who was in such stories, well, but he came out of those stories with dignity, and he later remained in the army, but now it is this person who communicates with by those who are ready to take up arms, in relation to boys, girls, but mostly boys. But there are also girls, moreover, there are cases when girls ask about such combat positions, there , for example, an infantryman, well, we still offer girls, we offer such positions, which, after all , pose less threat to life and health, well, this is despite the fact that our doctors heroically. They pull out the wounded, but still , well, its not an assault position, so we still offer the girls, well, slightly different positions, well, understand, there is a lot of bureaucracy in the army, and that s normal, well, its an army, its an institution, an institution in which there are rules, procedures, so someone has to do this bureaucracy, well, because only a man with a machine gun will not win the war, not even a man, if the work of the infantry is well coordinated. Er, artillery, air reconnaissance , there are attack uavs, if it all works as a whole, great, but someone has to provide them with everything necessary for this, and this is bureaucracy, so we need people who know how to do bureaucracy, i, for example , cant, its a horror for me, accordingly, well, there are people who do it perfectly, there are people who are great administrators, so we invite everyone who wants to, first of all its a desire, and. Believe me, youll find himself in the battalion. Dmytro kotsyubailo devinchy, he was a battalion commander. He died in chasivyar. Times it was actually a collision line. That is , he was not just somewhere near his battalion, he was in the battalion itself at a time when there was, well, just hell. And with on the one hand, we have losses under the bakhnut, as i have already said, they are an order of magnitude lower than the enemys, including because there is such a tradition of a commander, when you are. A commander, you dont send people somewhere, you send them you lead the point is that democracy, if it wants these values, dignity, justice, freedom, to remain in this state, the state must exist. Its just that if russia occupies us, im sorry, there will be no question of dignity, justice, or freedom. I think everyone realizes this, so if you ask someone somewhere, you understand that if boron is occupied by russia, then there will be no talk of dignity, justice and freedom, i think, well, okay, the vast, vast majority of ukrainians understand this. And when the same a citizen who understands this, who understands that he is threatened by the state, which will take away all these three basic values ​​from him, fights for the value of freedom while evading his duty, this is dishonorable, this is a dishonorable act. The law on mobilization is the regulation of the same instrument of coercion, which should undoubtedly be. Well, im sorry, if its not there, well just lose the war, the citizens have to understand that, the politicians have to understand that, well, i dont have an answer, well. Why hasnt it been done yet, maybe they have some explanation, okay, but, well, our main goal is to win the war, well understand, we have no one to learn from, they learn from us, that is, we are the first army that announced that we will have a whole range of troops, unmanned systems, that very cool, we just need to implement it now, but understand, people still have to manage the position in that extreme dugout, there has to be a person sitting there, so far we cant put a robot there, that person has to be reliable, well, hidden in dugouts, preferably with two overlaps, well, okay, the details are not yours, but this one the person should be in the most protected place, and the robots will still be controlled by humans, but for now, well. Well, in the near future, lets say, well, we wont take people out of the war, no way. Another thing, just understand, if we dont have enough people ready to take up arms now, those people who made this decision two years ago, well , sooner or later they will simply run out, and then the state will still be forced to come according to those people who refused, but. Because the state simply did not exist, in fact, all of us current uav operators, or fp drone operators, are yesterdays foot soldiers, well, after all, i myself was a uav operator, i flew for about a year, adjusted art even when we were in the ssso, also in the davinch battalion, that is, well, this is my first and only battalion in i definitely dont plan to go anywhere from here, there are cool people here and you can just. From the base i was generally a medic, its just that when i got into the davichi battalion, it was literally the right month of 22 , i saw that i didnt have ulf in the medical service what to do, everything works like a clock there, that is, this is another advantage of this battalion, that there is a cool medical service here, well, they are true, well, when i am wounded, i am already running, if we take the idea of ​​dignity. Then, in the world of things, this dignity is materialized by an act, the example of dmytro kotsyubail, i am going to tell you about it, because it seems to me that it is very revealing. In the 22nd year, battles were fought despite god, near bogorodychny, the russians went on the attack with a tank column, got hit in the teeth, abandoned the tanks, ran away, and such good lies on the field, of course there. Between the brigades, who will take the tanks, well, you can imagine, this is in your chats after the negotiations, who is the mutt, mr. Da vinci says, come to us and take the mutt, er, we are going to the place where it actually is and
