there are also a lot of enemy attacks, in the direction of ughledar, there are a little fewer attacks there, but the enemy group is accumulating there, on the positive side, we can say that in the south , our military continues to counter-attack the enemy, well, in almost all areas where the ukrainian army... in the summer, the offensive was also hot there, both the staromajorsk and the takmak direction in the robotengo area, counterattacks were counterattacked by our military, and our marines are holding on to the kherson bridgehead, that is, in fact, it is burning everywhere, the battles are heavy, someone has promised a winter there. silence

well, this is fiction, a hot winter, well, in relation to winter realities, let’s say this, in recent days we have also stated that the russians have again started using missiles to attack ukrainian cities, if before that it was mostly drones there for a certain period, well, now again returned to that previous practice, as you generally see, is there an opportunity to calculate, to understand their logic for this winter. does it exist at all, and of course with regard to our readiness, i am talking about air defense. well, frankly speaking, determine the enemy's goals, that is, by the last blows quite difficult. if you look at the statistics for september, october, and the beginning of november, it is obvious that the main objects of the strikes, where they were aimed, are bullyrod.

of ukraine, starokonstantyniv , khmelnytskyi, myrhorod, ukrainian ports, odesa, odesa region, izmail region, well, as the main most, where the shahed missiles were most directed, most likely, in november -december, they change their tactics somewhat, well, that's about it shows more than a few. the use of rockets and perhaps this is already the beginning and such another attack on our energy infrastructure is quite understandable, but according to the way our air defenses work, well, the russians will have to invent something new, because that strategy, that tactic... of missile strikes that

they had last year , this year they are not valid, well, the last missile strike, so there is evidence, thank you pavle, pavlo lekiychuk, head of security programs of the strategy 21 center for global studies, about the situation at the front and about the threats facing us. now about a slightly different nature of the threat, but this also concerns security in ukraine and the war, so the money was not allocated, the american senate did not vote... voted for an aid package for ukraine, israel and taiwan, and the problem is not ukraine at all, but internal strife. what are the chances of getting help, when and in what form can all this be, olena chernyakova analyzed. for the third time, despite the existing bipartisan support of ukraine, the americans could not vote on the aid package. on wednesday , the senate fell short of 60 votes to at least procedurally support the bill and move to its discussion. we...

found ourselves hostage to the situation, and accordingly we are waiting for agreements within both parties in both houses of congress, and accordingly there was a proposal from the democratic senators to start this process precisely in the senate, because there are more moderate republicans and more supporters, in particular, the continuation of aid to ukraine precisely from the side of the republic. now they are already looking for a solution both with the representatives of the senate and the house of representatives, when they will vote for a package of aid to ukraine, israel, taiwan and other needs. i urge the president of the united states to pass by christmas. it can't wait. congress must pass additional funding for ukraine before the holiday break. while congress, republicans in congress are ready to give putin the biggest gift he could hope for and give up our global leadership, not only in ukraine, but beyond. the

stumbling block is not ukraine, internal political strife. republicans refuse to vote on a budget without changes to the united states' immigration policy. why was it mentioned only in pre-election budget? question? it is rather rhetorical, but without its solution the republicans will not vote at all. i will not go back to south carolina and try to explain why i helped ukraine, taiwan and israel and did nothing to protect our own border. i will help all our allies, but first we must help ourselves. democrats call it blackmail, not without reason, because in fact the funds are for strengthening and building the border of the institution. together with help to ukraine, israel and ivan, and in addition to finances, republicans are demanding stronger checks on migrants and resuming the construction of the border wall, effectively returning to trump's tough policies.

many republicans have said they want to help ukraine. the only reason they added the border was because many members of their far right stated. that want a border, but many of those same members are not going to vote for ukraine, regardless of what happens there, but the republican leadership has gone to meet, well, let's see if they can agree, exit from the impasse can still be found, biden declared that he is ready for adequate compromises on the border, and the leader of the republicans, who heads the negotiating group, heard the signal: in the white house, which warns, there is neither time nor funds left to direct budget assistance. that pay tribute to us every month, and now are not ready to give guarantees, whether this will continue. we are unable to make such a promise to ukraine, given what is happening on the hill. we have a few more weeks and then we will run out of options. if help

is not forthcoming for a long time, you may have to change the expenses of our budget. this is a last resort, if plan b does not work. we are working on two ways. the first way. we are working with european countries, the european union, to increase our aid, you have already seen that germany has doubled its aid to us, and on the one hand, on the other hand, we are working to produce as much as possible on our own and be less dependent from our partners, and here there is also some progress, of course, that i will, if there is a critical situation, then they will be, i think that other items of expenditure will decrease and expenditure items to increase. army for the next year, the deficit of our budget may amount to 41 billion, and without american help, problems may begin and not immediately in january. regarding the financial part, it is not critical at all. the treasury has a margin of safety, in fact, we have another quarter,

at least, when we won't know at all whether american aid is coming or not. it will be felt somewhere closer to the end of the first half of 2024. regarding common. arms production in the usa , a separate conference was held and a memorandum was signed cooperation between kyiv and manufacturers, because own production is necessary so that in the future ukraine does not depend either on supplies or on partners. olena chernyakova, we are ukraine marathon, only news. chevorons approaching victory, dear father , thank you, mother, thank you, my brother, thank you, sergeant aunt valya, thank you very, very much,

thank you for protecting me, mother and our dog, our home, our country, and i ask you . very, very much, protect saint nicholas so that he brings gifts to me and all the children. thank you for the jesus that ukraine can meet holidays dear, how are you? now it is so difficult for many people to relax, especially when you are at school alone. when i'm very tense, i do an exercise that... always helps me , i open my mouth like that crocodile and yawn sweetly, the first time i can make an effort, and then the jaw relaxes and opens by itself, i feel better and even want to sleep, do as a mother to relax or fall asleep. at how are you.com, the caring

people at the tiyak mental health program and their friends at unicef have put together tips on how to help yourself and your child cope with stress. in almost two years of full-scale war, the russians have fired thousands of missiles, drones, and attack drones at ukrainian cities. they were prevented by anti-aircraft defense soldiers who repel enemy attacks around the clock. we often hear about their work, thank them for a new day, but the faces and names of air defense fighters are mostly classified. but today we will get to know the heroes who protect the sky of the capital. our correspondent ludmila gavirlyuk went on night duty and saw how the air force lives. when there is no anxiety, exclusive just now. they are our air defense against missiles and

shaheds. everything that buzzes with us no longer buzzes. and today we will see the faces of the heroes. with the film crew, we go out with the boys for a 12 -hour shift. i'll say right away, it won't be easy. we meet with the boys at a secret address, their headquarters is there. it is in this room that they spend most of their time, train, and wait for combat missions. and what do they do during breaks and when not? but in fact, the radars monitor around the clock so that do not miss the enemy target. one person constantly follows, because right here we see the flight path, where it flies, after what time period plus or minus it can be here, because of course they change the course, it can fly like a snake, usually. the alarm on shahindas is turned on in about an hour , it happens that our alarm is not turned on, and we

are already standing there, while the airspace of our country is clean, the guys conduct a mini-excursion to make it more comfortable to be on duty and rest, they have arranged everything like at home, here a kitchen, beds, sofas and a small living room, you have a great place here, one will be hot, how many people should there be on duty in a mobile group , always, always, at least six people, at least six people, well... they admit that as soon as they hear the enemy's racket about rest, whether it’s cold, they forget immediately, everything is normal immediately, adrenaline, the main thing is to get there, and what do you like most about your work, when anxiety comes, you take words and recharge and wait, the drive is there, but it happens that the guys become, there was a shooting, there was such a drive energy is felt. that everyone is now exalted on such. this mobile fire group has been working on the shahedes in kyiv for

a year and a half, they say, due to the improvement of our air defense system, fewer and fewer flights are now reaching the capital. they call us the last hope, but we are already in front, in front of the goals they are pursuing, so it is bad when , it is better that it does not arrive, but if it arrives, then we work. they say in the shahedes... it is most efficient and cheaper to work with machine guns, when there was no such system of mobile fire groups, well, more flew by shahedov, less are flying now, because, well, in the statistics of this past attack, there were 75, as far as i remember, or 78, 40%, as the command for mobile fire groups wrote, we each have our own sector where we can... . there are sectors where we cannot shoot, but as soon as we see the targets, this is not our sector, we immediately transfer the command,

we cannot shoot over the houses into the houses, in front of the houses, after communicating , i immediately understand about all the intricacies of combat work, guys can talk for hours, but when you ask about their success, they don't talk, they are ashamed, but how do you feel that you are in ppo now and at ppo they pray a lot, people call you gods, gods, well, like ordinary people. but this is my job , this is our job, all of our guys, you see, are young and are already sakhtors, well, whatever you do, you also have to defend, this mobile fire group is also special because everyone here is a volunteer, without salary or combat payments, guys go on duty every day to defend the sky of the capital, two years of war is almost here, it is difficult and difficult for everyone. but for us it is our work, we are volunteers, we

came at the call of our hearts and we do it ourselves at the call of our hearts, at home children, when you sit in the basement, you cannot influence anything, here you can influence something and you will be sure that at home with the children will be fine, outside of duty the boys work in civilian jobs, all the defectors work somewhere else. because you have to live for something, you have to buy her uniform for something, an associate professor of the department of applied mathematics at kpi, it turns out from the conversation...

maybe even to us, well, on a course like us, the main rule of the ppooshnyk , the guys say, is to eat a hearty meal before night work so that it’s not cold, so they take us to the kitchen, i haven’t had dinner yet, your zhor or dozhor, but it’s very tasty, we didn’t have time to have dinner, the team is in rocket danger, in we are almost ready, the area is already anxious, guys. have already left, we are already waiting, we are waiting for the teams to leave for the firing positions, already right here, the atmosphere is already palpable, well, not tension, but such concentration, it is concentrating , our planes are in the air, well, i don’t see two shaheds, two only yes for now, yes two and the course in the direction towards

us is prescribed, while we are waiting for the command to leave, the commander of the fire group gives me a briefing on safety techniques during combat work. it is necessary to wear special means of protection, this is a bulletproof vest and a helmet, and since when we shoot down shaheds, it all flies, flies from top to bottom, and you have about 4 seconds to avoid being hit by shrapnel, 4 seconds only to fall away, yes? yes, of course, and look, a helmet is a must. in the meantime, there is movement in the room, the boys collect their weapons, warm up the car, so that in the case of a team immediately leave the position. the command writes to us, first there is readiness, there are three, it is necessary to get dressed, armored car, prepared a bull machine gun there, then readiness is two, you are already with a warmed-

up car, everything is already in the car, you are already sitting at the start, and readiness one is for it. .. you have to stand and look at the sky for 15 minutes, until this time the people of kyiv and the capital can sleep peacefully after half an hour of anxiety from the battles. well, from our sector, they flew to western ukraine, and our colleagues, mobile fire groups, which are stationed there, are now dealing with them there directly, we very much hope they will destroy them, though the danger is past. the guys are still on duty, i will tell you honestly, somewhere around four in the morning from fatigue and lack of sleep, i just fell asleep on the couch next to the monitor, it is extremely difficult to work in such conditions, but the guys say they are already used to it, because they know for whom they protect the sky, everyone has a family , and we all understand, yes, that behind our backs are our families, so we have no right

to be afraid to worry, to think about something, we see the goal, we do our work and that's it the main thing lyudmila gavrylyuk. vyacheslav vendychanskyi and danylo horodetskyi we are ukraine marathon the only news. the occupiers once again attacked ukraine with shaheds. the drones were launched from the southern direction, all of them kept a western course. in particular, the air defense system worked in khmelnytskyi. there is currently no information about hits. we are adding serhiy bratchuk to our conversation, he is the spokesman of the ukrainian volunteer army south , a military expert. sergey, good morning. glory to ukraine, glory to the armed forces. congratulations, colleagues. good morning. i. how was your night in the south? thank god 4:5:0. there were no air alarm signals, well, as we always say in military language, we have a certain operational pause on the part of the enemy, we understand that we are constantly in tension, because the enemy launches shahedas almost every day from the southern direction, so of course the route can

including through the southern areas, in particular through the odesa region, not this time, do you remember that we had another attack a few days ago, unfortunately, a person was killed, there were hits, that is, the enemy attacked the port infrastructure again, but today it is quiet so far, may it continue to be quiet, about the situation also in the occupied territories, i would like to talk to you, do you know anything about it, the center of national resistance, in particular, informs that the invaders are conducting raids in the occupied kherson region, they are looking for the ukrainian underground, they are looking for... people loyal to ukraine, as far as i understand, the situation is changing, that is, it has always been like this, this is the search for those who are actively acting. and even underground, but now it seems to be intensifying, well , there was no peace, as they say to our citizens, that remained there, unfortunately, under different circumstances, from the beginning, from the first day

of the occupation, currently the enemy is really trying to saturate the defense on the left bank of the dnieper as much as possible today, then of course new units appear, and in order to provide them including housing, carry out so-called filtering measures, well, first of all, of course, the most important goal is to identify ukrainians. underground, to identify those people who remain ukrainians, and who, despite these circumstances, still try, including to help the armed forces of ukraine in one way or another, and actually they are looking for housing in order to place those units that are on the left bank of the dnieper, these measures are really being carried out quite cruelly and harshly, and i say once again, very high saturation on that side dnipro, there are units. we, of course, are trying, i say once again, to secure them. the situation is quite complicated, moreover, they are now massively trying to organize work on the issue of so-called passports of the so-called

russian federation, and of course, with this quite a lot is connected, there are many such unpleasant situations on the left bank. people are hoping for the armed forces of ukraine, for the return of our army, i also believe in it very much, and the only request is to all our people who are there. occupied territories, to be as careful as possible, it is very, very important. when you talk about the accumulation of forces on the other side of the dnieper, do you mean in the area of ​​plazdarmu or in the area of ​​the other direction of tokmak? in general, we are talking about the left bank, including, of course, the area of ​​plasdarmi, those that our armed forces heroically receive today, moreover, inflict fire damage on the enemy, and this is happening. very effective, the aerial reconnaissance, the artillery works , well, the units that are on these bridgeheads, because the enemy tries

to actually change tactics every day, the enemy artillery and aviation are very active, well , such a highlight is certain in recent days , that the enemy on equipment is trying to drop such small groups of landing forces, in fact it is doing it in the rear of our units, it is not possible for him, after the appropriate artillery training , aviation pressure, and the enemy's equipment is destroyed, this landing party is destroyed, and actually , according to certain information, so-called officer assault squads or groups appeared, those russian officers who have some kind of guilt are sent there, so that in these units may include, for example, nochprod or an officer of some other level or... reality, of course, on the one hand, it is not necessary to talk about the quality of these officer assault units, but on the other hand, such units are really being formed, well, let's see,

how effective they will be, because the destruction of such units occurs in the same way as the destruction of these landings. er, regarding the situation in the black sea, is it changing, what is it now? launchers are mainly now in novorossiya. sevastopol has 1-2 missile carriers, well , they constantly put up to four ships on duty, that is , it is a combat duty, regardless of the weather, it is not the same today, for example, as it was during the so-called storm of the century, as the russians announced, but present are present in the sea of ​​azov, there is literally one ship there at all times, well, and i say it again, missile carriers at base points, and in general about... on the black sea, how suitable they are for conducting hostilities, for taking ships out to sea, you know, before we were interested in the sea for resorts, but now will the russians be able to bring out

ships with calibers, well, as you know, since the time of the ancient greeks, i apologize for having to mention this, the black sea has at least two names, that is, it begins the season when the sea not kind enough to the servitude, well, of course... and the enemy fleet, the weather is quite specific, and it storms very often , i hope it will be in our hands, including, as it was, for example, last season, but will not interfere, including our sea corridor, export corridor, because it is quite important, but the stormy, well, let's say this, the black sea, it, it still has to fulfill its contract with the armed forces. well, well, he gives himself good advice, i think, that’s it, and 100%, especially in crimea, the reason you just said, it’s me about contract, we have literally two minutes

left, i would like to... ask you more about odessa, about the city as a whole, and, that is, we understand that there is a constant threat of attacks, on the other hand, a few days ago, the president also he said that air defense is being strengthened in odesa, we don't disclose the details, we don't talk about it, but it's a good signal, if we even officially state it, and how the city lives, as a whole, do you feel the approaching holidays, well, because one way or another we live in spite of everything, and and are these... also the kind of human moments that should be? well, first of all, we organize holidays, including for our children, and this is understandable, because all our military, armed forces, and all other units that are part of the armed forces of the armed forces are working for this, and moreover, today our the boys from the front are coming, we will congratulate our children on the feast of nicholas in our church of the ukrainian orthodox church, so everything will be fine, by the way, today we will reward our

boys for fighting. so today we will have an interesting event, i won't say where it will take place, but nevertheless, i think it is right, this is what we live for, but, well, it is better not to say where it will take place, we will find out after the fact, we will see, we hope for photos, but be sure to convey your congratulations on the occasion, and congratulations and words thanks, serhiy bratchuk, spokesperson of the ukrainian volunteer army south, a military expert was in direct contact with us. friends, the live broadcast will continue. literally in a few moments it will continue, everyone have a good day, good morning, thank you and see you soon. chevrons approaching victory. sportsman - by nature, a strong and steadfast person.

but for more than a year, ukrainian athletes have been going to the start with sorrow, each of them has a broken heart that aches for ukraine, for those whose lives were taken by the russians, for those who were deprived of the happiness of being with their relatives. ukrainian boxer, honored coach of ukraine, mykhailo korinovsky died in this house in dnipro, due to a russian rocket. to the tragedy. he celebrated his daughter's birthday, another dad who was gone. i urge everyone to support the ban for russians and belarusians to participate in sports competitions. they defiantly demonstrate that they support their army, and therefore the genocide of the ukrainian people. we must stop the merciless killing of ukrainians. silence

kills. step by step, they move from one danger to another, step by step, they free from invisible death our land, fields and forests, houses that have been visited by evil, without sappers, life will not return here, without... the courage and dedication of these people, we will not return home, for your work and our safety, we thank the sappers of the state emergency service of ukraine. rules of a warm country, healthy care. thank you for gaining energy on foot, avoiding the elevator and restoring health. let's beat the winter together. i am a russian

warship, i suggest you lay down your arms and surrender. ukraine, and our glory is our brother on the young.
