use in anti-aircraft, against aircraft that drop cabs. 9:00 is the moment when all of ukraine remembers those who died in the russian-ukrainian war. let's observe a moment of silence in memory of ukrainian soldiers and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.

what is the attitude towards such statements and whether such steps can be effective in the future? president zelsky canceled an online briefing for us senators at the last minute, senate majority leader chuck schumer announced. the ukrainian president was supposed to talk about the situation on the battlefield and kyiv's need for weapons. the administrator of the united states was informed earlier that by the end of the year the funds for the supply of weapons and equipment to ukraine will almost run out. the head of the ukrainian president's office stated the risks of losing the war without american help. later in the broadcast, we will talk about everything in more detail. in the meantime, comment, subscribe, share this video with your loved ones and friends, because it is important for the development of ukrainian-language youtube. continuation of the plan.

the work of the ukrainian security and defense forces with demilitarization of the crimean peninsula from the russian invaders, that's how the representative of the main intelligence directorate of ukraine, andriy yusov, called the attack on the sea oil terminal in feodos in the occupied crimea. he said this on public television, but did not give details. crimea is ukrainian, which means that the state of ukraine in person, at this stage of the resistance movement and definitely security and defense forces and all components of security and defense, are working there. absolutely legal, according to international law, according to internationally recognized ukrainian borders and continue planned activities there. it is not always expedient to promptly reveal the forces and means used in operations, but yes, today there are actually no safe places on the ukrainian peninsula for invaders. the fact that the sbu and gur hit the marine oil terminal in feodosia was reported by the public and lba publication with reference to its own sources. journalists say that this is an important infrastructural facility that provides fuel to the russian troops, there are allegedly 30 fuel tanks on its territory,

ukrainian pravda publication with reference to the interlocutor in the security forces was also informed that the security service of ukraine was involved in the large-scale drone attack on objects in the occupied crimea. according to the up source, the sbu drones hit the nebom radar system in the area of ​​the village of berehove, not far from kerch, as well as the helicopter parking lot, the radar system, and the control system of the baikal-1m anti-aircraft missile units near the settlement of shirlovke on... the shooter, official, official the security service of ukraine did not inform about this, i will remind you that the day before in the morning at the russian ministry defense announced a large-scale attack by drones on the peninsula, initially reported 22 allegedly destroyed and 13 intercepted drones over the waters of the sea of ​​azov and crimea itself, and later announced four destroyed and two intercepted drones over the sea of ​​azov, that is, more than 40 drones in total, the publication the moscow times writes that this is the first attack on the occupied peninsula since

the end of summer, the russian ministry of defense did not disclose the details of what was damaged during this attack. about the situation in occupied crimea, let's talk further, denis chistikov, deputy permanent representative of the president of ukraine in the autonomous republic of crimea, joined our broadcast. i congratulate you, denis. good morning. on the morning of december 5 , the occupied crimea was attacked by a record number of drones since the end of the summer, they say that it is more than 40 drones. this was also announced by the ministry of defense. of the russian federation, what do you know, what the locals say, and how did the occupation authorities react to these attacks? well , it should be noted here that after such attacks, they constantly talk about large-scale attacks, because they they do not know what was recorded by the population and the consequences of these attacks, so in order to have some opportunity to inform and justify this situation in the future, they indicate the scale, therefore this is the first fallout, the second, the occupation administration noted in its appeals.

exclusively the same information that the ministry of defense of the russian federation spread , about the number and that everything was shot down and damaged, there is no non-civilian, non-military infrastructure, in addition, it should be noted that there was at the same time, at night , a large number of comments were in crimean telegram channels from local residents, they did not specify where these explosions took place and their consequences, but indicated the mass, the attacks themselves, the sounds of air defense operations and explosions in general, and these comments were recorded both in feodosia, sevastopol, and in the city of kershi. at the same time, it should be noted the practice of the occupation authorities, in the morning they were actually all cleared, those who could provide any information. but at the same time, it should be noted that, among the facts that even a shipyard in the city of kerch was allegedly hit, there were some hit, but apart from the nightly information in the telegram channels, this information was subsequently absent, in addition, it is indicated that there were, as the occupation administration says

, shot down over the oil depot in the city of feodosii, but some locals indicate that even if there were debris, but something was damaged, it should be noted that the oil depot in the city of fedosi is a naval base, like the one that uses fuel and lubricants for russian servicemen who are in the territory of temporarily occupied crimea. denis, what objects are most often exposed attacks and to what extent these attacks are, you know , frequent, repeated, maybe you also have some historical evidence from the locals? well, it should be noted that not everything is commented on by the occupation authorities, even what happens in the conversations of telegram channels in the morning, this information may not even be confirmed by the occupation administration, but because of the fact that in fact, attacks and explosions occur daily in the territory of temporarily occupied crimea , as for objects that are subject to attacks, here it is everything that is related to the military, starting from the infrastructure, as we all understand, the so-called crimean bridge, as well as bridges that connect the temporarily occupied

part of the temporarily occupied crimea and the temporarily occupied kherson region, this is on kpvankoy, in addition, the railway itself, but not directly the railway track, during the passage of... formations with military equipment, fuel and lubricants, in addition, there are bc depots located on the territory of temporarily occupied crimea, military units themselves, since there is a large concentration and in fact crimea is now, well, it was, is and continues to be, precisely the logistics hub, including for personnel and replenishment of personnel in the temporarily occupied kherson and zaporizhzhia regions, for the so -called ssoo, in addition, warehouses of fuel and lubricant materials, as well as self-defense systems that protect space and, that is, complicate work on other objects and their destruction. but what is the military and political situation on the peninsula, what conclusions can already be made for this year, how does the occupying power react to all these strikes on crimea, is it possible already somewhere they got used to it and relaxed, well

, in connection with the fact that there is no, you know, such an offensive on crimea, as it was, let's say, warmed up or commented on, for example, there even six months ago, and no, they feel tension , since it is related to the socio-economic situation, the residents of crimea have already realized that in fact crimea has turned into a military base and the development of small and medium-sized businesses is actually absent, and after the storm that was at the end of november, the situation with small and medium-sized businesses is precisely in the recreational sphere will be even worse, as experts indicate that we will feel the consequences already in the spring and summer, since the infrastructure on the coast is completely affected and damaged, and for its restoration, resources from the budget... well , they claim allocation, but it will not cover, because in first of all , military needs will be covered, and in order to restore this infrastructure, small and medium-sized businesses actually do not have any, they reassure that even now, allegedly , part

of the hotel complexes are already full for the new year holidays, but it should be noted that now the hotel is used specifically by the military and it is for those who are on a business trip, that is, it is no longer a hotel, those hotel complexes for recreation, but in fact they... come for the use of the military. in addition, it should be noted that the local residents see that crimea has already been zoned for defense, in particular , defense zones have already been created this year, i.e. in the northern part of crimea, above the administrative border with the kherson region, the western part of crimea on the coast, but after the storm these fortifications were damaged, except in addition, there are fortification structures from the zoning from simferopol to the southern coast of crimea, and separate fortification structures are being created around sevastopol. and also in the future we know about fortifications from feodosia to the sea of ​​azov and around kircha, that is, this indicates that crimea is preparing for military operations, and this also worries the local population, in addition, they are also preparing for the elections that will take place in the spring of 24- th year, and at the same

time, there is no longer even a pro-ukrainian part of the population, but those who even supported it in the 14th year, they expressed their dissatisfaction with the russian federation, and therefore now the occupying power is doing everything to calm down these dissatisfaction, but at the same time , information appeared yesterday that after the elections, the president of the russian federation in the territory temporarily occupied crimea, mobilization will be intensified, therefore they need to maintain this balance, but they realize that this is impossible without the support of russian law enforcement officers, so they are also preparing and increasing the number of the national guard and the police on the territory of the temporarily occupied crimea, as well as being released, as we already know, new sizos are being built, which indicates that the persecution will only increase, denis, this is also probably reflected and perhaps the crimeans have already noticed the increase in the number of dead, so the representative office previously stated that more than 580 soldiers of the russian army were buried. precisely on the territory of the occupied crimea, and this may be an incomplete figure, tell me where

this data comes from and whether it is precisely the number of dead crimeans? well, here it should be noted, this one the information is taken from open sources, at the beginning of the first year of the so-called special military operation, they hid this data, but later they realized that more and more graves were appearing in the warehouses and the locals asked who it was, so they began the procedure of the so-called heroization , create special parks, squares of heroes and already officially place patriotic boards at the schools where the specified heroes studied, and this information is placed in various sources on the internet, and it is from the specified sources that the information is from there, therefore most of the part, from of these 508, these are those buried in crimea and most of them are residents of temporarily occupied crimea, since information about them is available on social networks and they lived before the full-scale invasion, and also studied in educational institutions of the full-scale invasion, which may indicate that that these are citizens of ukraine who remained under occupation and were illegally mobilized by the russian federation.

now this information, it appears more and more, because, despite the fact that this information partially appears in the sources, which are on the territory of the russian federation, from there as well, but in the future we see that they limit access to the internet, because they believe that the internet is a source for obtaining information for the armed forces of ukraine in the future as well. there may be restrictions , so these sources may also disappear in the future, and what can be evidenced by such information that russia has decided to transfer the mobilized from yakutia to the city of jenkoi in the temporarily occupied crimea, the atesh movement, which calls itself partisan, reports this. well, here it is i will not say what to testify about, but it says that they continue the practice of destroying the small peoples of northern ukraine and that was at the initial stage, as noted. that a large number of those who died in the first days, on the administrative border, were representatives

of the specified peoples, later, when there was publicity, there were certain dissatisfactions in the specified territories, they stopped the specified practice, but at the same time, it should be noted, that in the specified territories they created conditions for the deterioration of economic conditions, that is, they are not available for earning, and in this way they encourage, as we can see, new additions to the said category of the population, the said peoples, who, nevertheless, having convinced people that they cannot get other earnings, they are forced to go, precisely to register and mobilize, it is indicated in practice, it should be noted, it is also present in the territory of the temporarily occupied crimea, first of all, in relation to the indigenous people, the crimean tatars, they try as much as possible to spread and distribute summonses in the places of capuchin residence, as well as in relation to involvement of the rural population, since now, in fact, in general , there is no income in the countryside, local residents of the countryside are trying to move either to the territory of the cities, or

they are forced to mobilize in order to receive these profits. denis, thank you for such a detailed account of what is happening, what is the current situation in the occupied crimea, denis chistikov, deputy permanent representative of the president of ukraine in the autonomous republic of crimea, was a guest of our program. ukrainian the military counterattacked under the cover of avdiyivka, the american institute of studies reports. war, they also say that the geolocation footage from december 4 shows the advance of the ukrainian military on one of the sections of the railway, the coke-chemical plant. military observer kostyantyn mashovets wrote the day before that a sudden counterattack by the ukrainian military near avdiivka forced the russian forces to retreat two positions. at the same time, the american institute for the study of war also reports on the advance of the russian military along the coke-chemical railway plant, as well as south of terikon. deeppstate analysts say that the armed forces of ukraine pushed back the russian military from the stepovoye district. the ukrainian general staff reports on 23

repulsed attacks in the avdiyiv direction. avdiivka is not mentioned in the reports of the russian ministry of defense. but the telegram channel vazhni novosti states that russian forces plan to capture the city by december 14, before the planned direct line and at the same time putin's big press conference. important news is written about this with reference to a letter from relatives to the command of the troops of the zahid group mobilized, they allegedly ask for military leadership. to deal with the signs of the deliberate destruction of the russian military under avdiivka, they say, at the end of november , even military personnel with moderate injuries are sent to attack. 25 they had another order on the spot to treat the light and medium ones already in the trenches. the denerivskis do not regret at all, they collect the remnants and storm again, they hurry, while in discord they drive to a straight line and the new year, a result is needed, everyone around says that we will take avdiivka and continue talks. the zsu continues its attacks

near bakhmut, but there are no confirmed achievements, the russian military is also advancing in this direction, but also without success, they tell you about this... in the american institute for the study of war, meanwhile, the ground forces report 10 repulsed attacks near bakhmut. they also say that ukrainian forces are continuing their assault in the south of the city and are entrenching themselves at the boundaries they have reached. the russian ministry of defense informs that four zsu attacks were repelled in this direction. they also recently showed footage there the alleged assault on khromovoi, whose capture was reported by the russian ministry of defense last week. i note that ukraine did not confirm the capture of this village by russian forces. earlier, russian telegram channels also reported on successes in another direction in the east of ukraine , kupyansk, russian troops allegedly began to control part of the village of senkivka in the kharkiv region, near which fighting has been going on for several months, the telegram channel writes about this in particular, about the advance near senkivka , rydovka also reports. in the ukrainian general staff is informed of five repulsed attacks in the senkivka area.

the spokeswoman of the 14th separate mechanized brigade of the armed forces of ukraine joins our broadcast. nadia zamryga. nadiya , i congratulate you, first of all, i congratulate you on the day of the armed forces of ukraine and thank you for joining our broadcast, informing society about what is happening in your direction, tell in more detail what is happening in the kupinsky direction, what can you say now? well , the situation is really quite difficult, because the enemy has not abandoned his intentions to storm, go forward. in the zone of responsibility of our 14th separate mechanized brigade named after prince roman the great, although he does not succeed, the attacks are repulsed, but the enemy goes, goes and goes in great numbers, and does not spare the personnel, and let's say, if for one attack, in which

they will try to go. to, up to 20 military personnel are involved in one place, and during this, during the repulse of this assault, and almost 90% of the personnel remain on the battlefield, this does not stop them, they are walking again in literally a few meters, tens of meters, but there is such a small nuance here , we know for sure that among the enemy servicemen there are people who signed the contract literally at the end of october 2023, well, you understand what this says about the fact that the people who literally two or three weeks ago took the weapons are already on the front lines, well, accordingly, their

training is also, let's say, questionable. although, among those who go on assaults, there are quite professional military personnel, mrs. nadiyu, you stated earlier about the heavy losses of the russian forces in this direction, that the russian command, having lost a significant number of soldiers, in the kupinsky direction , reserve forces, consisting of former prisoners, began to be transferred to this section of the front, that is, you say that there are newly mobilized ones, although with experience, i understand, some used to say about former prisoners i know, there are really a lot of them, and maybe you can define some other such categories? well, actually, yes, i did, i imprisoned there for literally a month, who are quite a lot on the front line, although there are also those who have already been fighting

for more than a year, actually in ukraine, so, well, yes, their training, of course, is much higher, here , you understand, i guess, these yesterday's prisoners, well, conditionally yesterday's prisoners, people without training, they use them for the number, and to possibly divert attention to a certain extent at a time when more professional, will do their job, but you know, 24/7 surveillance, air reconnaissance are producing their... results, very coordinated, coordinated actions of aerial reconnaissance, artillery, fpv, drones, are producing results, man. which transports personnel on equipment to the front line, so that it can be closer and more efficient was to go on an assault,

believe me, 90% of the equipment is destroyed, that is, thanks to aerial reconnaissance , you can also see, as you say, those russian soldiers who, to distract attention, are there at the front and those who are really preparing for serious offensive actions , and how in general... how do you feel now about these and what are you watching over these weeks, because we hear about the avdiiv direction that there is supposedly a goal in russia to capture avdiivka by december 14, so they are already abandoning even there and wounded in these assaults, is there such an increase and is it possible there is also a desire for more achievements , so to speak, for the russian forces in the kupina direction, i will not judge there what the plans are, but still, let’s say, in our kupina direction, in the area of ​​responsibility of the brigade, and there is such a stable level of ee

behavior of the enemy, tactics, the enemy, this has been happening for, probably, a month and a half or two, that is, to say that something, somewhere, some days are calm, and then the accumulation of strength, and something more, i think, no, it is stable, even, every day , at night, disguise themselves, use, before the artillery assault, they use aviation, sometimes, well, that is , they have tactically stable actions so far, ms. hope, i want to ask about the following, it is now december, on the eve of christmas and today, including the day of the saint, which ukraine celebrates for the first time on december 6 at the front somehow, the military celebrates these dates there, in particular, the day of the armed forces and there the day of st. nicholas, are there

such small joys, let's say, about these days? well, let's say, we all perfectly understand that it's not the time for celebrations, here, well , but in order to have a drop of homemade warm and festive, we have saint nicholas today. it is true that he is in a bulletproof vest, he is true with sweets, only, but yes, he visited the units together with the brigade commander, here , this, literally two or three minutes, but for the guys to feel that there is such a holiday, it is on the front line, it is like specific, military, but believe me, the boys really want the warmth of home, but little drops, after all... holidays. thank you for participating and for telling such details from the front, including, this is important, the spokeswoman of the 14th separate mechanized brigade of the armed forces of ukraine, nadiya zamryga was a guest of svoboda ranok.

we continue our broadcast and will continue to talk about such a sensitive topic, which is also directly related to the great war that is currently taking place in ukraine, the delivery of a summons by e-mail or registered letter, which ukrainian lawmakers want to introduce, they even gave it such a name, public subpoena, fedir venislavskyi, a deputy from the ruling servant of the people party and a member of the parliamentary committee on national security, defense and intelligence, told about this in an interview with rbc ukraine. ot according to him, such changes are planned to be written into the bill on mobilization, which is currently being developed by the people's deputies. in addition to the new procedure for serving summonses , other rules may also be changed, for example, obliging during martial law to carry an identity document and military records for all military personnel, this will allow not to involve the police in the process of service summons they plan to expand the list of those who will serve summonses, in addition to the tsc, public authorities will also be able to do this

. according to venislavsky in the register conscripts will contain all the necessary information, including e- mail, but still parliamentarians continue to argue about demobilization. in particular , they are considering a term of 36 months of service during martial law with further demobilization, but so far... this issue has not been agreed upon, probably, according to venislavskyi, the draft law can be registered in the council this week. i will remind you that at the end of november, president zelensky instructed defense minister umerov, general zaluzhny and the ministries to develop a comprehensive plan regarding mobilization. the guardian edition, with reference to the secretary of the national security and defense council of ukraine, oleksiy danilov, previously reported that the ukrainian government plans to change the practice of conscription for military service, in particular with the involvement of recruiting companies. the head of the servant of the people faction, david rahami, said on the air of a telethon in november that the verkhovna rada can adopt a law regulating the issue of mobilization and demobilization by the end of this year, according to him, those draft laws that in one way or another regulate the issue

of mobilization and demobilization are on ... more than 10. iryna fries, a deputy from the defense committee and a member of the european solidarity faction, said in a comment to radio liberty that she believes that clear rules for demobilization should have been adopted much earlier. there is a great risk of losing the war without the help of the united states of america. this was stated by the head of the office of the president of ukraine, andriy yermak, who is in washington. there, he called on the american congress to approve the provision of financial, additional funding to kyiv. if the aid that is currently being discussed in congress will delayed, it would run a great risk of our being in the same position as we are now, and of course it would very likely make it impossible to continue the liberation of the territory, and run a great risk of losing the war. in addition to military aid, ukraine needs direct budget support , without which it will be difficult for ukrainians to survive in war conditions - yermak added. earlier, i would like to remind you, in the letter that the director of the budget management office shelanda yang sent to the speaker

of the chamber it was mentioned that in the administration of the united states practically by the end of the year the funds for the supply of weapons and equipment to ukraine are running out, according to her, the disapproval of new funds to support kyiv by the american congress, undermining ukraine's ability to conduct combat operations against russian troops. meanwhile, the leader of the democratic majority in the us senate, chuck schumer, who supports ukraine, said that president zelensky canceled an online briefing for senators, during which he was supposed to talk about the battlefield and kyiv's need for weapons, according to him, the meeting was supposed to take place by using secure video conference. zelensky , by the way, could not join, something happened at the last minute for our briefing at three o'clock, but we will hear and you will hear, in particular from senator mark warner, who knows very well how desperately ukraine needs the help that the president offered. ukraine did not officially comment on the cancellation of the briefing, according to a

voice of america journalist. yarysha, minister of defense of ukraine rustem umyero in an interview with fox, answering the question about why zelskyi canceled his virtual appeal to he told the congress, and i quote, this is a war, the situation can change, but i think president zelensky would be grateful and would apply next time, when there is such an opportunity. abc news, meanwhile, notes that senate minority leader mitch mcconnell said the day before that he would advocate for republican senators to vote against the promotion of additional aid to ukraine and israel. if the position of the republican party on strengthening the us borders is not taken into account there. according to abc news, the main procedural vote is on aid to ukraine is due today. valentyn badrrak, a military analyst, director of the center for army, conversion and disarmament research, joins our broadcast. welcome, thank you for joining. i want to start right away. thank you for the invitation, and yes, i want to start immediately with us aid. do you think congress will approve this additional money to

support that? among ukraine, but could there be such a situation that ukraine will remain without the support of the united states already this year, because in fact there is such an aggravation between the visions there democrats and republicans, regarding such support? of course, there are such risks , but literally, this morning we learned about a message from oksana markaroi, the ambassador of ukraine to the united states, who claims that at the moment there is support, two, bipartisan support, and in principle, this gives us hope that, after all, should it happen, it's another thing, another thing, and i think that now it's also very big risks, which are connected with the fact that congress can go to such, to such palliative actions, that is, to support the provision of weapons itself. because it is

money which
