To be as useful as possible Ukraine during military misery-this is the life credo of the People's Artist of Ukraine Taras Kompanichenko-Kobzar, Bandurist and Lirnik, the head of the band "Chorea Kozatska", and now a serviceman of the 241st Brigade of Territorial Defense of Kyiv.

The artist shared the reasoning that he would advise all those who hesitate to join the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The main desire is to be as useful and effective as possible

The most important thought that embarrasses and sometimes even bites the artist is the idea of whether he is the most effective and most useful for Ukraine now and now. With her, he falls asleep and wakes up, making every effort to work to approach a common Ukrainian victory.

- There is no pathos in this opinion, the service is very daily, routine. It is not only heroism, but above all the fulfillment of your duty with the most achievable care and ability to use their knowledge and skills as fully as possible, - explains Taras Kompanichenko.

The military is happy that he, as he says, is "used as intended." The artist has now been involved in the team of the brigade service, where he performs both direct and related responsibilities related to national patriotic training.

Recruiter preparation is a thorough and comprehensive

- I read lectures in training centers where we prepare recruits for oath. As a teacher, I see well that nowadays training of recruits is not just a short formal course, but a serious comprehensive mastering of all basic necessary military knowledge. It is fire preparation, topography, cartography, communication, Takmed, legal issues ...

After intensive training, recruits become full -fledged military, who, like Taras Kompanichenko himself, are primarily involved in the tasks for which they have the best abilities and preparation, taking into account previous civil education and experience.

-My contribution to their preparation-lectures on national-patriotic training, history and culture of Ukraine. These are extremely important and extensive topics, such as the history of the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917-1921 and a further liberation struggle for independent free Ukraine. Or earlier examples of the fight against the Muscovites - the battle of 1173 near Vyshgorod, in 1514 near Orsha, in 1657 under Konotop, - says Taras.

The best motivation is the opportunity to touch the past on your own

Taras Kompanichenko brings live evidence of Ukrainian history from his own collection - manuscripts, rare publications, musical instruments. They are convinced of the listeners in the deeply smoky roots of the Ukrainian people.

- These are the manuscripts and publications of the Ukrainian national revival of the late XIX - early XX century. For example, published in 1906 by the fourth volume of "History of Ukraine-Rus" by Mikhail Hrushevsky, "Kayala" by Bohdan Lepky with the illustrations of Elena Kulchytska or Bogdan Khmelnytsky Mikhail Starytsky,-the artist lists.

He remembers with special warmth, the bandura of the Cossack Army of the Ukrainian People's Republic of Kosty Misevich. This musical instrument, which is still in use, can not only see or touch it, but also play it.

- When I bring these artifacts to lectures, fighters can touch them, open, look at the simple convincing testimony that we, Ukrainians, were in the past that our predecessors were already sought to be and were a full Ukrainian nation with developed science, with high high culture, - says Taras Kompanichenko.

Inspires and obliges the strength of the spirit of boys and girls on the front line

- Since the Russians have been driven away from Kiev, I have not been on the front line, nearly several times, - Taras notes. - They were different advanced - in Sumy region, near Kupyansk ... But I am always inspired by the power of the spirit that our boys and girls are filled there.

He says that he constantly follows several of his friends and acquaintances - those artists who are now fighting against Russian invaders at "zero". Among them are Yarina Chornohuz, Alexei Bick, Sergey Pantyuk and others.

Their strength of spirit and fearlessness inspire and at the same time oblige to be similar to them in the rear, to do everything possible to approach the victory.

- It is thanks to such people that we are able to do what we know the best. We can focus on bringing the greatest benefit to the Ukrainian people, - says the musician.

Not to waste a minute remembering the feat of defenders

Taras Kompanichenko is convinced that the heroism of great contemporaries places all of us. The immensely high price, which is paid every day by the fighters on the front line, they allow us to work for Ukraine.

- We cannot waste time in vain when someone is standing on the front line at this time. You have to be as hard as possible, to be as responsible as possible until it is not to deliver it on some empty, insignificant things, - the artist is convinced.

That is why every act, every action should now be performed with the greatest dedication, because they are possible precisely because they give them the defenders of Ukraine on the forefront for our opportunity to give them the most valuable thing they have - their own life.

To overcome the fear for the sake of love, for "none of us are not there" of our ways. "

At the same time, using the great gift that gave us the front lines, it should be remembered that we should replace them when they will be exhausted, or intercede if they fall.

- We all need to learn and prepare, - emphasizes Taras Kompanichenko, - because no one of us is from here - we can not and have no right to escape, hide, move or wait.

He is firmly convinced that we are all responsible for the future of Ukraine and the opportunity to live on our own land by Ukrainians.

- We must be and fight here, not wander and flee into lights, looking for some new Ukraine somewhere there, because then there will be some region of the Russian Federation, where there is no right to be Ukrainian. Therefore, we all have to get in one bench together and overcome fear for the sake of love for the most precious and holy we have.

The right choice is to take a step towards

Everyone who is still hesitant, whether it is necessary to join the ranks of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, Taras Kompanichenko advises to take a step towards, just as he and his sons committed.

The eldest son of a musician who is 25 years old is already serving. Young 23 years old and he has already announced the army and passes the VLK in Fastov. For them, both of them were a conscious voluntary choice, although they were not mobilized by age.

- It was the choice to overcome your fear without waiting for you to be called to the army, - says Taras Kompanichenko. - They still had to wait, but they took a step towards. This is exactly what everyone who is hesitant, because "none of us," he repeats his ways, "he repeats.

Win and survive for the sake of Ukraine

The musician shares his natural fears for their sons, for their lives. However, he was convinced, they made the only right choice that they had to be used to bend their moral compass.

Taras Kompanichenko is convinced that the main task of the defenders of Ukraine is to destroy as many occupiers as possible and drive them away, but it is necessary to survive the most to prolong the life of the Ukrainian people on Ukrainian land.

"The sky shines, the earth's game, we go to the battle of Muscovite!": Guest Armyinform Kobzar Taras Kompanichenko

- We need to build our strategy and tactics so that the occupiers will be killed as possible, and we will have more survived as possible, because we will need to make our kind of survive .

In the Odessa region, the construction of fortifications for protection against aggressive actions of the Russian Federation continues.

About thisreportedThe head of the Odessa Regional State Administration Oleg Kiper.

"We are actively building fortifications, we establish barriers -" teeth of dragons ", anti -tank ditches and other non -clipping barriers," - the message reads.

Oleg Kiper noted that about 150 people and 80 pieces of equipment were involved in construction.

"Our willingness to counteract the enemy, as well as a systematic approach to the construction of fortifications - a powerful restraining factor for the aggressor," added the head of the Odessa Regional State Administration.

Earlier the Armyinform told howbuildfortifications in the Kharkiv region despite constant enemy shelling and how aboutBrokenThe second line of defense in the Kherson region.

During the last day, there were 61 fighting. In total, the enemy caused 7 missile and 70 aviation strikes, and made 110 shelling of rocket launchers on the positions of our troops and settlements.

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on its ownFacebook page.

In Volyn and Polissya directionsThe operational situation remains without significant changes.

In the Siversky and Slobozhansky directionsThe enemy retains military presence in border areas, conducts sabotage activities in order to prevent the transfer of our troops to threatening directions, increases the density of mine-explosive barriers along the state border in Belgorod region.

At the same time, our warriors continue to be active in the occupation troops of losses in living strength and technology, depleting the enemy along the entire front line.

Yevgeny Solovyov participated in the most difficult missions of this war, where helicopters had to be used. One of them is a flight surrounded by Mariupol Russians.

At that time, it was the only way to help the Azovstali defenders continue defense, deliver them ammunition, food and medicines, and evacuate the wounded. On the way back, the helicopter of Eugene was shot down by the invaders, but he managed to get rid of the control, and on the damaged helicopter return to his own. He told this in an interview with the TV army.

"Dad, if I still pay money for it, then I will be the happiest person in the world!"

Eugene's father talked a lot about peacekeeping missions in Africa, so the little guy sought to see exotic countries above all at the helm of a real plane. He wanted until he joined the university. The cadet immediately and forever admired the helicopters.

-really caught fire at the desire to fly after the first flight. I remember then I called my father and said, "Dad, if I will also pay money for it, then I will be the happiest person in the world," and he says, "They will, will, learn."

"Before the flight, most pilots approach the helicopter and talk ..."

What is a helicopter? Cabin, screws, hello? A bunch of avionics? For Yevgeny Solovyov, this is definitely not something mechanical and inanimate.

- I think that the helicopter definitely has a soul. Each helicopter has a different character. There is a capricious, less capricious, demanding, who needs to do everything he loves, otherwise - he will let you down - reveals the mythology of helicopters Eugene.

In general, Solovyov notes, helicopter pilots are extremely superstitious. Daily risk forms specific psychology in pilots. Even priests in African tribes will be envied by the helicopter rituals.

- We have different, we can say, prejudices. That is, to go to the toilet in front of the helicopter, only from the back side, so that it does not hurt. Before the flight, most pilots approach, talk, stroke it, whisper to him. I also do it - and it helps me. It happens that the engine is not starting ... You stroke it - Oh, it got started. And you continue: "Well done, well done." It works, - the pilot convinces.

"I thought I was flying - there are hippos, elephants ... And money and flights ..."

Eugene knows enough about African rituals. He drew children's dreams, flying on a business trip to Africa. Work on the black continent was difficult, but hardened.

- When you find yourself in Africa for the first time, you leave the plane and realize that it is not your home. Just smell. And I thought I was flying - and here the hippos, elephants ... and money and flights. But it was a little different. And then I was the first impression that I am in the war. It was 2013, it was the third rotation of the Ukrainian contingent in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Delivery of ammunition and personnel, delivery of products, water, essentials. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, he had enough work. There, with his partner Vladimir Sloharchuk, Yevgen Solovyov barely survived during the accident in the mountains. He again believes that he saved a miracle. And also a giraffe figure of a Lego set consisting of two parts.

- When we were in the hospital, Vladimir told me that when he was about to go to Africa, his daughter Alice gave him a giraffe and said, "Dad, it is you, he will protect you." He says, "You see, he wrapped us." I am as follows: "Well, like us, keep half, it will be your half," says Solovyov.

Half of the giraffe is still flying with Eugene. Always with him in a flight overalls. It was Giraffe, who believes the pilot, rescued his flights to Mariupol in 2022. Flights that have become history and legend.

There was a phrase: "Well, I would not fly back ..."

It was a very difficult task. Not even the case - it was almost impossible. Flight over enemy territory to great depth - 100 kilometers. Flight when you are not covered. When you fly at a height of 5-10 meters at night. The task is to deliver a load of ammunition, communication systems, Internet systems, medicines.

These flights were vital. Even then, it was clear that Mariupol's defense became a strategic task. The defenders assumed the huge enemy forces. It was time to unite and organize our defense in other directions.

- The task was even set to come there, take it all and make a solution - either stay there, or return back on helicopters. But there was a phrase: "Well, I would not fly back," the pilot recalls.

It would be a suicide back. There you can slip unnoticed, back - you will already catch you all. Both air and ground radars. You will no longer be able to return the same way - you will be expected.

"The helicopter is declining, falling ... I understand - probably we're burning"

The first attempt was unsuccessful. They flew to the line of combat collision and immediately came under fire. Immediately turned and flew back. After this history, the Army Aviation Command approached the question a little differently, says Eugene.

The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense joined. Already operated with serious information, satellite images. Jointly developed a route. They considered the number of Russian troops, their location. In the end, they flew, flew and turned back.

The flights were repeated more than once, not twice or three times. But it was in vain that it would always continue. The enemy closed the holes in his defense. During the next flight, the helicopter was ambushed.

- On the way back, we walked along the sea above the water. After that they rose to land, there is such a large difference - about 50 meters - between the sea and the land. And literally 500 meters heard, as Russians say, cotton, such a very powerful explosion on the left. I realized that the helicopter is declining, falling, losing the load of the load -bearing screw, according to the loss of one engine ... I realized that we probably burned - still mentioned by the pain by Eugene.

They had a lot of fuel - so the helicopter could burn in just a few seconds. There was something to decide. The height was 5-3 meters, there was nowhere to decrease. Landing is also. The crew, along with 20 wounded on board, would simply be shot in place.

- The second helicopter did not answer. I continued to maneuver and tried not to fall. The helicopter ... I knew it would fall ... But it continues to fly. I do not know what miracle, some miracle, but here in this mode we flew, flew, flew ...

They finally managed to sit down. Eugene describes this, like many other things that happened that day - the same word - a miracle.

A miracle is a daily work of the pilot. However, since childhood, it is obvious that being a pilot for Yevgeny Solovyov means to create the impossible. So now he just does his incredible job. Let him continue to help him in this half of the giraffe with a set of LEGO.

About thisReportedKyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office.

The court found a resident of Kyiv region guilty of collaborative activity and unauthorized dissemination of information about the Armed Forces in the conditions of martial law.

According to the investigation, after the occupation of Dimer Vyshgorod district of Kyiv region, the man voluntarily agreed to the proposal of the Russian Federation on cooperation.

Having received personal security guarantees from representatives of the occupying troops, he helped them navigate the terrain.

In early March 2022, the invaders were forcibly assembled by the local population. During his speech to citizens, the convicted person reported that he is now the newly elected chairman of the Dimer OTG.

He interviewed the Russian media, in which he spoke about the loyalty of the occupiers and the need to cooperate with them.

In the administrative building of the village council, he received citizens, distributed newspapers with propaganda of russia's armed aggression against Ukraine and humanitarian aid coming from the territory of the aggressor country to the residents of the settlement.

The Gauleiter selected people for illegal cooperation with the armed forces of the aggressor state, and attracted them to the work in the village council and in the community.

The man is now in custody.

The Scientific and Technical Laboratory of the United Kingdom (DSTL), the unit of the Ministry of Defense (MO) of the United Kingdom, has published declassified personnel where the Dragonfire Laser Directified Energy Weapon (LDEW) system impresses targets at the remote landfill.

AsInformsJohn Hill, an expert of the Army Technology portal, based on the results of test firing at the British Hebrides training ground, which was previously reportedToldThe Banshee Army, Air Force, was struck by a powerful ray of laser weapons, which was the culmination of several years of work of specialists in the profile defense program, which was launched in 2017.

At the same time, the analyst reminded that this project is currently an actual demonstration of opportunities and does not have a financed path for arming the British army, although it is requested for use in the operations of counteraction to drones at both land and sea.

"Naval and small flying drones pose a threat to large military platforms, as can be seen during hostilities in Ukraine," John Hill said in his report.

He reported that in 2017, the UK government allocated about £ 30 million (about ₴ 1.482 billion) to the Defense Industry Laboratories as a financial aid to develop a LDEW demonstrator, which later turned into Dragonfire. Since then, about £ 100 million has been allocated to the program.

Currently, the British army can repel drones, only releasing expensive missiles, each of which can cost up to $ 2 million. Meanwhile, the cost of exploitation of a new laser is "less than $ 13 per shot", DSTL said. Its maximum range is classified, but weapons can "impress any visible goal", the laboratory statement said.

"This type of advanced weapons can make a revolution in combat space by reducing the dependence on expensive ammunition, as well as reducing the risk of concomitant losses," said Grant Shapps Grant.

Anti -ratio lasers are a defensive weapon designed to fail or even destroy drones and permutative missiles with greater accuracy and less destruction than the missiles used today.

Several countries have developed versions of this technology, including the US, Germany, Israel and Turkey, although these systems have not yet become widespread.

This is partly due to the complexity and high cost of manufacture. At the same time, drones also have a much lower action range than conventional UAV missiles, and they are not capable of providing sufficient speed to knock down hypersonic objects that move five times faster than sound.

In addition, laser weapons require sensitive settings. If the beam is too intense, the interaction with the air can cause it to scatter. And if the beam is too weak, the target will remain unharmed. In addition, water droplets in the air or fog can absorb or scatter the beam, which impairs its effectiveness in adverse weather conditions.

However, the UK government has stated that it would continue to invest in laser protection technology and promote plans for their commissioning.

Prosecutors of the Luhansk Regional Prosecutor's Office sent to court an indictment against LNR Chairman Leonid Pasichnyk.

This is stated in a message onSiteProsecutor's Office.

He is charged with participation in the organization and conduct of illegal elections in the temporarily occupied territory, public calls for their holding and voluntary election to an illegal authority (Part 5 of Article 111-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The Czech Republic tries to deliver ammunition to Ukraine in the shortest possible time.

This was stated by Czech President Peter Paul, reportsRadio Liberty.

According to him, the production of the required number of shells takes time and requires an increase in production capacity in Europe.

“But Ukraine needs shells now. We can't wait for European companies, so we try to find ammunition everywhere. Bring them to Ukraine as fast as possible. But at the same time we increase our own capacity, ”said Peter Paul.

The Czech president expects that in the near future Europe will be able to produce the necessary amount of ammunition.

"In the near future, European companies will be able to produce the required amount of ammunition to replenish the reserves of European countries, as well as to provide Ukraine with ammunition if it will still need them in the near future," the Czech President added.

As reported by the Armyinform, the Portugal's government approveda contribution of 100 million eurosThe Czech Republic was offered to the Czech Republic.

Currently, one and a half dozen countries, including Germany, France, the Netherlands, Canada and others, have already joined the Czech initiative.

Over the past 15 years, the flywheel of instability has been spinning more and more in the world, global security, the world order that developed as a result of 1989-1991, and the escalation of conflicts continues.

Unfortunately, the trends are disappointing," says Yuriy Oliynyk, an expert at the Non-Governmental Analytical Center "Ukrainian Studies of Strategic Studies", PhD in Political Science.

-In general, the end of the 2000s was a period of relative stability in the world. In Africa, most conflicts were finally minimized and stabilized. Everything was already decided in the Balkans. The situation in Iraq and Afghanistan also entered a certain plateau of stabilization when the pro -American forces controlled almost completely these countries. It seemed that the world peace was more strong, not only how to compare with previous years, but even decades, all the time after the end of World War II.

But from the beginning of the Arab Spring in the world, the level of escalation is growing rapidly. The 2012 catastrophe in Syria led to the emergence of the Islamic State in 2014. At the same time, aggression against Ukraine begins with the annexation of Crimea.

By the way, it is symbolic that such milestone events took place during one US president - Barack Obama, who often spoke of peace, with the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and Iraq. But this led to a little other results, - says Yuri Oliynyk.

Actually, this flywheel continues to spin now. The significant point was 2020. The coronavirus pandemic led to a global fall in the economy, and caused a very strong blow to food prices in many poor countries. Then the next wave of coups in Africa began and again the tension between China and Taiwan became intensified. In addition, Russia has begun demonstrative actions around Ukraine, which have emerged in a new milestone - a large -scale invasion of Ukraine, the beginning of a great hot war in Europe. We live in this period.

- Conflicts have previously been grouped and are now grouped in large key regions - instability points. First of all, it is the Middle East - Egypt, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Israel ... It is the intersection of paths between Africa, Europe and Asia, where Iran is currently the main causative agent of instability. First, it is the center of the Muslim world-a certain ideological rod. Secondly, the focus of world players, since the Middle East is also the oil and transit production center between two of the three key economic centers of influence - between China and Europe.

Another point is, of course, related to Russia, which is currently leading the war with Ukraine. But at the same time, she tries to somehow control the situation in Central Asia, to influence the South Caucasus, where, however, she is already very faced with Turkey, with other players.

But, interestingly, Russia has been trying to spread its influence on other instability in the world in recent years. Now it acts as a junior partner of China and Iran, present in the Middle East, in particular in Syria. She seriously took up Western Africa, especially for the region of the French influence - Safe, as well as Equatorial Africa.

The third point is the Far Eastern, where the Chinese-Thawan and North Korean conflicts are smoldering, which remain at the Cold War. But there are very great prospects, in particular, in the North Korean direction, regarding the growth to some hotter events. I do not exclude the Great War on the Korean Peninsula in the near future. As for China and Taiwan, there is more intimidation here, in my opinion, Taiwan is dependent on trade with China and vice versa. Now, after the elections that took place in Taiwan, we see some lull. But still, I think, the exacerbation will be there in the next two to three years.

Other points-Indo-Pakistani and Central Asian-around Afghanistan. Each of them is superimposed on each other and creates a certain haoting, - the expert explains.

Sometimes, in the process of deployment of war in the world, key centers trying to form their camps lose control of smaller regional allies and are then forced to somehow establish relationships between them. We see similar trends today.

- Now China is forced to lavish, to reconcile its allies, and the US does not fully control its satellites. They can not always agree with each other, and there are certain "separate visions". That is, the structuring of blocks is still ongoing. Therefore, I would predict that these blocks will be more actively structured in the coming years, but unfortunately, it is far away from some of them, ”Yuri Oliynyk summarized.

I used to hear the anecdote: “Why are elections in Russia lasting three days? Because faster they do not have time to draw results. " This time, the Holuis of the regime tried to "excellent", entertaining the old dictator "overwhelming" percent of support, which was not in all the recent history of Russia.

It is also interesting that Putin won the elections not only in Russia but also in foreign areas - and the Russians went to the vote even more actively than the average in the country, which was frankly surprised and pleased with the propagandists. Their resources were full of photographs and videos of queues to embassies in Italy, Thailand, Germany, Czech Republic ...

Contributed to a record turnout, in particular, the so -called "Russian opposition", which held an action "noon against Putin". Its meaning was that Russian citizens who did not support the policy of the Kremlin head visited the polling stations on the last day of the presidential election at 12 o'clock in the day, showing the "unity of place and time of protest", regardless of how they do with their ballots .

Back in the nineteenth century, Russian writer Mikhail Saltikov-Shredrin,tellingAbout the history of the generalized Russian city of fools (in Russian - Glupov), described the similar picture: “And the fools were on their knees and waited. They knew that they were rebuilt, but couldn't stand on their knees. " It is in this quote that the nature of a typical Russian protest is hidden - pathetic and senseless.

The Ukrainians had the opportunity to make sure that the problem of "country 404" is not only in its dictator. If the turnout in the election was less than 50%, they could be questioned, as not reflecting the will of most Russians. And quite under the power of the Russian opposition, if it really existed, it would be to organize a general ignoring of pseudo -elections that have no choice. And at least speak in support of the RDC, LSR, Siberian battalion and other units, which began on March 12 on the position of the Putin Army in Kurshchyna and Belgorod. But volunteer units that are fighting for Russia without Putin have not yet waited for the words of support from Yulia Navalny, whose husband recently killed the regime. And the so -called anti -war candidate, a "good Russian" Davankov at a meeting with Putin after the election generally stated that they had a common goal - to "win their" ...

The Ukrainian military is right, who say that only the one who is not visible in a thermal imager is a "good Russian".

Putin's Card Blanche is now. Not only thanks to the percentage of their beloved (87.28%), which the Russians have long learned to "swallow". But also thanks to the record in the history of the presidential election in the Russian Federation - 77.4%. Now there is no doubt that the Kremlin owner will use this result to maximize the war in Ukraine without sparing neither the financial or human resource. And perhaps it will continue - to the adjacent countries of the European Union, because it is the blood of a "hateful event" that is awaiting a bloody "electorate", which continued the dictatorial powers until 2030 ...

The "astronomical" percentage of the drawn turnout and support of the Kremlin dictator on pseudo -elections has nothing strange or new.

Living and Dead Dictators: Rating of Evil According to ArmyInform

In 1964, the crazy dictator of Haiti François Duvalier, the sadly known ruthless destruction of the population of his country, held a referendum on his lifelong rule. The ballots were published with the already affixed mark in the "For" column. There were no graphs against at all. The result of the referendum did not surprise anyone - 99.88% of support.

It will not be superfluous to remind of such "elections" of another dictator - Saddam Hussein. They took place in Iraq on October 16, 2002. According to official data, the turnout was 100%. Of these, all 100% of voters voted for the continuation of the President's powers. There was no vote against, no invalid ballot.

And within 5 months after these "elections", March 20, 2003, Iraq included troops of the International Coalition in order to overthrow the Iraqi dictatorship. The active phase of war lasted a little more than a month. Saddam Hussein was putting an end.

I hope that such a finale will also wait for Putin Russia, which will cease to exist with its beloved by more than 87% of the dictator.
