of the international atomic energy agency , rafael grossi. he added that magat continues to do everything possible to prevent a nuclear accident. he also urged the parties not to take any measures that could put under threat to people's lives. let me remind you that at night at the zaporizhia nuclear power plant seized by russia, another external shutdown occurred, as a result of which a threat to radiation safety arose. jokes in the style of the 95th quarter, the press service of european solidarity commented on the position of the security service of ukraine regarding the cancellation of the trip abroad of people's deputy petro poroshenko. the agency wrote that the kremlin wanted to use the fifth president in its information and psychological operations. all meetings, especially with the current prime minister of hungary, viktor orban, the russians would submit those that allegedly split ukrainian society. the eu faction evaluated the assumptions made public by the sbu. groundless, and the disruption of

poroshenko's foreign visit is such that, i quote, harms not poroshenko, but the country's international image and defense capability. according to fellow party members of petro poroshenko, the explanations of the leadership of the parliament, the border guards and the sbu resemble bad jokes of the 95th quarter, and they noted that the fifth president had planned visits to only two countries, poland and the united states of america, hungary was not on the list emphasize. on the day of the 10th anniversary of the revolution of dignity and freedom, the lviv historical museum opened an exhibition of heroes of the maidan. relatives of the dead activists also came to inspect the exhibits, however, they noticed many inaccuracies and the main question arose, how the face of a regional woman ended up among the heroes of the maidan, this was found out by my colleague natalka starapravo. he was on the square for three months, despite the rain, snow and frost,

yes, he did not go home, he did not hide, he was there for some business, for what was there work, family, and even a comfortable sofa with a tv, he was on the maidan, defended his position, and in general he, i think, defended the position of all ukrainians, natalia's husband mykhailo degdalovich died during the revolution of dignity from a sniper's bullet, that for a moment he tried to save his friend, but he was already dead. on october 18, 2023, the svyatoshyn court of kyiv found pavel abroskin, a resident of berkut, guilty of the murder of andriy dogdalovych and other residents of maidan. he was sentenced to 15 years in prison, and brossk is currently in prison territory of russia, he was released from custody in december 2019, as part of the exchange of prisoners from the russian federation. in addition to the fact that those involved in the murder of the activists are now at large, natalya and her daughter are talking about how

a photo of volodymyr zakharov, an employee of the office of the party of regions, was found at the exhibition of heroes of the heavenly hundred in the lviv historical museum. indeed this person. died on february 18, but in the mariinsky park in the office of the regionals, this is the person who was either a computer technician or held some other position, but he is a party member regionals and in the headquarters there he was doing some kind of work, and when it started, a fire broke out in this headquarters, he ran to the safe, took out large sums of money that were there, stuffed them in his pockets, and maybe because of that he did not have time to get out other inaccuracies: instead of 107 photos of the heroes of the heavenly hundred , 104 are shown, and the captions for some photos do not match the photos of the dead. there was a photo showing two young people and the caption that it was ustym holodnyuk. ah, my

daughter's work colleague, a scientist at the museum of dignity in lviv, he says, i know exactly what ustym holodniuk looks like, he is definitely not here. on the 23rd . i wrote an appeal to the head of the culture department to find the culprit and punish him for such mistakes. natalya degdalovych also left her reaction under a post on the page of the department and in the lviv regional military administration. after that, the woman says, she receives angry messages and calls. the author of the exhibition is svitlana kochergina, an employee of the lviv historical museum. it's not the first year she deals with archives. the heavenly hundred and the russian-ukrainian war. instead , the project curator transferred all responsibility for the preparation of exhibits to a young employee. the boy publicly apologized to natalya degdalovych. for your blunder, i turn to him, to my employee, who

prepared that stand and made it. ugh. we have such a problem now, i told him to apologize. according to the relatives of the dead activists, those stands from the exhibition. roman shmelyk, director of the lviv historical museum assures that the exhibition posters about the heroes of the maidan were made based on the photo chronicle of the revolution of dignity, which was created at the initiative of stepan kubev. it is probably necessary to appeal to the members of the heavenly hundred, perhaps to the media that took an active position, to the compilers of this album, or even to their colleagues, because a mistake is replicated, if it is a mistake, it is important for degdalovich that on the tenth anniversary of the revolution of dignity, such neglect of heroes there was no such feeling of despair somewhere, but did our relatives deserve it, because it is the tenth anniversary, and to put them in the same row as the regional ones, but we

know that the heavenly hundred is something else, it's not just the dead, it's people who gave... sacrificially gave their lives. hostilities resumed. israeli aircraft and artillery bombarded southern gaza, hitting mosques and residential buildings. residents fear that these shellings were a prelude to a ground operation, as a result of which they will try to push them to neighboring egypt. in the morning, a continuous stream of wounded people arrived at the hospital in khan yunis. from the moment at least 193 were killed by the end of the truce palestinians and 650 were wounded. at the same time , israel promised to facilitate the provision of humanitarian aid to the palestinians. the sides blame each other for the collapse of a seven-day truce, during which hamas released hostages in exchange

for palestinian springs. a swarm of drones. in the russian krasnodar , powerful explosions are heard, their air defense is working. he writes about it. almost all krasnodar publics, people publish videos and photos with flashes and flying objects in the sky, and everyone has already divided into two camps, some are cursing for coverage air defense works, others are packing to leave. cars, shells and anti-drone systems. germany handed ukraine a new package of military aid to the armed forces, they will receive four tractors, five drone detection systems, almost four. thousands of ammunition, cars for the border service, 25 laser rangefinders and 15 sniper rifles, according to the website of the german government. let me remind you that in the previous package, germany handed ukraine seven reconnaissance drones, 12 armored personnel carriers and 30,000 sets

of winter clothing. and the spresso tv channel the human and law charitable foundation announces a new collection. together with you, ours. viewers, we are raising funds for powerful portable welstrom battery stations with solar panels for the 108th dnipropetrovsk separate brigade of the territorial defense forces of the armed forces of ukraine to effectively destroy the enemy, military equipment must be systematically charged, the stations can replace generators and provide soldiers with energy, even in the field. our goal is uah 1,220. we already have almost 4000 in our account. join, donate to the victory of ukraine, your details see on the screen. akademik vernats station was covered with snow. it took the polar explorers a little more than a week to "dig a ditch to the berth, in a few weeks the arrival of the ship noosphere is expected there. the length of the tunnel was about

40 m, and the width was up to two meters," the national antarctic science center noted. the team was lucky, because there were no record snowfalls, and the highest snow cover reached a little more than two meters . fed up to feed colleagues after snow gymnastics - said the participants of the scientific expedition. for this minute, the news team told about the most important things, of course , read more on our website, subscribe to our channels on social networks and watch saturday's political club with vitaly portnikov and khrystyna yatskiv.

greetings friends, the saturday political club program on the espresso tv channel, khrystyna yatskiv and vitaly portnikov, is on the air. as always , for the next two hours we will talk about the main events of the current week. in the focus of our attention is the situation at the front, the russian-ukrainian war. the situation in the international arena, and the middle east, this is a must, well, the second half of our program is talking, yes, the conversation and reflections of vitaly portnikov, we will start with the situation at the front, roman kostenko, people's deputy, is in touch with us of ukraine, secretary of the verkhovna rada committee on national security, defense and intelligence, colonel of the security service of ukraine. mr. roman, glory to ukraine, congratulations. good day, gerava. mr. roman, let's start, welcome, let's start with maryinka, all the same, what's going on? well, the situation there is difficult, i think everyone is used

to these theses and it is really like this now, in general , the east is now the hottest point for us, regarding where the enemy has concentrated his forces, and there recently, they talked there for a week, but for a little longer time, our , well, the enemy has quite seriously advanced our troops to vienna, i recently literally talked to people who are there, and the situation there is that the enemy is constantly, almost every day now, using assaults, very a lot of equipment and fpv drones, and the number of fpv drones, unfortunately, outweighs the number of fp drones that we have, we hold back all assaults due to fp drones, but the enemy can afford them, but as they say, there are 30 of them, 40 pieces just to the position, our, uh, i see where our... position is and it’s just monotonous, constantly there, until our defenders are no longer left without shelter and

are forced to withdraw, and in this way the enemy has already pushed through almost the entire maryanka, leaving us well, they will move objectively, that's why the situation there is difficult, along with avdiivka, yes itself and with maryanka, in general, here is avdiyivka, maryanka, i think it is, i liked the phrase that the commander-in-chief said, muzhenko for russia are symbolic cities that are quite publicized, including society, their they have recognizable names, strategically they do not have any significance there, but for the russians they are important, that is why they throw away very large resources there, suffer great losses there, but still try to push these cities to report that they are their occupied, but we say maryanka, i think that i was there somewhere probably a month ago and what is left there is already difficult to call marinka, this city,

the place where mariyanka used to be. mr. roman, we understand that in the military sense, our settlements can mean completely different things. when we talk about bakhmut as a settlement and about the district, bakhmud, two different things. when we talk about avdiivka settlement and the avdiivka district, well here actually, and that's why there is a certain drama in the prospects, for example, the abandonment of the territory of avdiivka by our defense forces, some say. from the military analysts, the situation there is quite complicated, but the defense forces, as of today, allegedly even resort to counterattacks and repulse positions previously occupied by the enemy. how do you see this situation? well, if we are talking about again, the most important thing that

i see now is yes, indeed ours, well, a day ago, talking to the defenders of avdiyivka, they said yes, now the situation has been stabilized, but the enemy is still pressing, they have already occupied, let's say, some key settlements there, the steppe, including this one, these ticks, they with each, well, let's say, period time everything is narrowing, narrowing, if measures are not taken now, then decisions will have to be made, and this is a fact, and i say it again, of some strategic importance. well, objectively according to the maps, there is no avdiyivka, you and i are talking in a military sense, of course, this is our land and our people, and here it is a different issue, but we are now talking about war and combat operations, and the main thing is that it as on bakhmut, when we retreated and we retreated to better positions, to the heights, and we see that after the enemy

took bakhmut, they practically no longer advanced, and we also had the opportunity, we won back some... and let's say some territories, there is more north and that is more south, including bakhmut, the same here, the main thing is that there were positions, let's say, an opening positions and lines of defense so far we cannot brag, here we need to learn to learn, no matter how ugly it sounds, from the enemy, they know how to build positions, know how to defend the occupied territories, unfortunately we have a problem with this and this need to do not like what was there, well, though b already today, of course, that much time has not been lost, but it must be done, if the defense system is built correctly, then even if we have to withdraw from avdiyivka under enemy pressure, there is nothing terrible, such a global military issue will not happen, if we if we miss it and don't finish it, there could be serious consequences, and by the way, about the fortifications, maybe we didn't

build them because there was such a stereotype that we have to liberate our territories. from the enemy and that we are an army on the offensive, which cannot be some fortifications on the ukrainian territory between one part of the donetsk region and the other, and this is rather not even a lack of any military training, but an absolutely stereotypical political thinking, not a desire to face reality, including, i think, all thought that some kind of new war was going on, that defensive positions did not matter, but... we see what happened in zaporozhye, including the direction when the enemy, simply due to their positions, the ones they dug, in that period while we were accumulating forces and means, the enemy was building his line, as they called it surovykina, and this is the line against which we actually broke our teeth

and were unable to cross it, it is a fact, and it is a fact that there was nothing there and... . which was not the case during the first world war, so the enemy did not introduce any technology there, he simply built defensive positions, which we, with the modern leopards, t-72 tanks, and some means of demining, could not pass, because once again in this the war that was imposed on us, which russia went to, it should meaning, it makes sense, we know that what are the main ee - the main... tasks of defense ee , who knows, there is such an abbreviation there, first, repel the enemy's attack, inflict maximum, maximum losses on him, hold positions, that's what why do we need to build a defense right now, and the fourth is to create the conditions for a further offensive, so in

order to hold positions, defense lines are needed, when these defense lines are available. we are holding positions, knocking down the offensive potential of the enemy, what should we do, in the rear, conditions are now being created for further offensive, we need to do it, and i probably said a few months ago when i described the counter-offensives in sichia , including that there are various counter-offensives , including unsuccessful ones, because many people in our country thought that a counter-offensive is equal to victory , somehow they did not perceive it differently, because now the main task is to protect what we already have, which we did not let the enemy capture, to fully secure it, to build positions so that the enemy is away from it. i was gnashing my teeth at him, and then we could go on counterattacks from this and the resource that we have additional use

for recapture, because now we have a counteroffensive , let's say, ours has stopped, and we looked, but there are no fortifications, we need to build, and now this situation is really difficult, i hope that we will manage to settle it in time , mr. roman, short. clarification , do you think that the counteroffensive has really stopped in view of the situation on the left bank of the kherson region, which still continues to develop, again, we do not know how it will all end, but less so, the actions of the defense forces continue there, well, just what we mean, what were the tasks of the counterattack, the tasks of the counterattack were strategic, it was to go to the sea of ​​azov, we cut through the brezh 10 km, on the maps of those who set such tasks, counterattack. if you look at their maps, this front line is not even visible and these shifts are not even visible, so if we are talking strategically or tactically, active actions are taking place at the tactical level, but if we are talking

strategically about a counteroffensive, then i want to tell you that i i don't know, everyone should see it, but many are surprised when i say that we have a positional war since november 11, 2022, it is already positional, strategically, we have positionally, what zaluzhny wrote recently , we have had it for a year, he simply described it, because it was the hope that we will advance somewhere , but we have had a positional war for a year, and at the moment it can either continue, or the enemy can advance us, if we do not, we will take action, because the resource is that he is still stronger, so we have everything to do in order to strengthen their territories, and to accept in fact, we have had a positional war for a year, we tried, but it didn't work out for us, there is no one to blame here, it's us against us against us. which outnumbers us several times, we don’t have air support, we don’t have long-range missiles , that is, you can list a lot on your fingers, so before you could make forecasts there

crimea in may, you need two or three weeks there, well, i i think, who do not understand the issues of military strategy in particular, but listen, mr. roman, but i remember that in the text of generals zaluzhny and zaborodsky, which was i think it was published just then, don't remember the exact date. therefore, around autumn, a picture of a positional war was basically created there, and it was said that it was a long positional war, well, i mean, it was exactly a military text, it was not about, it was just a specific text written by two generals proposals, they belittled, they even showed the possible actions of the enemy, you are right, what are they, they planned that the enemy could one part from the north, yes one group, we had to go, but one thing... from the south, and they were supposed to drive such a wedge into our defenses and , well, they were supposed to do coverage, pincers, yes, they described it, everyone has already forgotten this article, but well

, they described possible actions including, but then all this was lost and the topic of, uh, counteroffensive went away, and well, the enemy already really knew about it, knew in what direction, because it was the only direction that gave us in the event of success, gave us strategic advantages, it was possible to go in the donetsk direction, because there are less mines, of course, but success there did not give such strategic advantages, look, now you can say anything, we went where we went, and we have to admit that we, the counteroffensive did not succeed and for almost a year we are in a positional war, but for that, to be in a positional war , you need to have good positions, uh, mr. roman, i can't help but ask, the russian... president vladimir putin signed a decree on increasing the number of personnel of the armed forces of the russian federation to 2,200 and a half thousand, with 1,320,000 people from this number will be

directly by the military by 170,000, well , i don't know if it's a lot or a little, please decipher it for us, well, in addition, putin actually agreed to increase the budget for the war with ukraine, for the russian army, that's how it will be. their economy will work in the near future, but what are we doing? well, look , we have mobilization, so we have an unlimited number of troops, we can demobilize as many as according to the plans, there are ministries of defense and armed forces, we can mobilize, before that, the number of russian troops was smaller, they are its first time . a year ago they increased there by 100 or something thousand, what is happening, they have a planned increase of troops, they are now

deploying, returning, in them, well, who remembers, among our tv viewers, that they had such a military district in leningrad , which was unfortunately hiding from finland, then it was disbanded, there were separate parts , now they are returning this district, and first they are creating it on the basis of already ready parts, and then they will form its parts, for this you need, well, parts separately, so that it they were just that leningrad military district, in order for it to protect from finland, which is a member of nato, then they create 104, an airborne division, which is already partially assembled there on the base, i don't remember which airborne brigade separately, some of them are already in the south, now here in the kherson region and transferred, because they do not have enough, then a couple of brigades of marine divisions of the marines, that is, the question is, they are increasing their

armed forces. transfer them to the divisional system, i understand that to those plans which they need, in order to form them, they need an increase in the armed forces, an increase in the armed forces, as in our country, it is approved by the verkhovna rada, in ours, in them it is the state duma, that is why they are going for it in this way , so that it is possible to form a separate regular army, and then, when necessary, finish it mobilized, thank you. thank you mr. roman, roman kostenko, people's deputy of ukraine, secretary of the verkhovna rada committee on national security, defense and intelligence, colonel of the security services of ukraine, and we will break now for a few minutes, but you stay with us and there will be interesting interlocutors, we promise. problems with the joints limit movement, it is not pleasant and painful. strengthen them with dolgit
