we will talk more about the ability of kyiv to return its territories and about the strengthening of putin. 47% of americans believe that us aid for of ukraine should remain at the previous level or be strengthened. this is evidenced by the results of a survey by the pew washington research center. and a wall street journal poll showed trump ahead of white house chief of staff joe biden in a national poll about next year's presidential election. what does kyiv's support depend on and how does the political mood in the usa depend? are reflected in the ukrainian issue. important news, announcements and exclusive comments. all this is on our morning broadcast. join on weekdays from 9:00 on youtube, on the channel radio svoboda, as well as on the espresso-tv channel. early this morning , explosions rang out in the district of the fourth district in kyiv. earlier, before the air warning signals were launched, the air force said that it had destroyed eight air targets that were flying in the direction of the capital along the ba'. debris fell on the city,

four people were injured, all of them adults, kyiv mayor vitaliy klychko reported. in the darnytskyi district, fragments fell on an unfinished building, the fire was quickly extinguished there, and another fragment fell on the lawn. to mykola povoroznyk, first deputy chairman of the kmda, joins our broadcast. greetings, mr. mykola, thank you for joining us this morning. please tell us, as of now, what is known, what is the situation in the capital and whether it is already full. information about the consequences of the morning shelling, well, you have already said almost all the information that is available for today, for the present time, the relevant explosives technicians, relevant specialists are currently working at the places where the debris fell, uh, yes, we really have four victims, one received wound fragments, three, this is an acute stress reaction , they all received help, medically no one needed to be hospitalized er, so

the situation is like this in part of the er... theirs, theirs is now being studied, it is being understood what kind of missiles these are, but the attack itself was launched a little later than 40 in the morning, around 4:15. can you tell, explain, why the air raid signal did not sound? well, usually when ballistic targets are flying, they have time to reach them it's quite... short, so it's practically an air alarm, the air alarm signals turned on almost simultaneously with the explosions of already shot down missiles. mr. mykola, since you have taken the opportunity to join our broadcast, thank you for that, then we will talk on the air about the situation with the metro in the capital, tell us how critical it is and whether there is an understanding, and when the metro should fully resume and will the opening of the station take place? today, we are first of all setting up e-e ground traffic of ground transport in order to deliver passengers from of this part of the city, where six

metro stations will be closed, several additional traffic or routes, or rather trolleybuses and buses, will be organized . on the job, so that they can move unhindered on the public transport lanes, first of all, this directly concerns the lobitz square itself, there are tow trucks working there at the turning point, the police are working, so that there are no delays, at the same time, specialists are assessing the damage to this parts of this tunnel, i think that we will start work in the near future, everyone is interested in eliminating these troubles from... and fully launching this branch of the metropolitan government as soon as possible. thank you for the inclusion, for the comment. mykola povoroznyk, first deputy chairman of the kmda, was a guest of svoboda ranok. the russian military continues its offensive on works in the zaporizhzhia region and has unconfirmed successes. this is reported by the american institute for the study

of war. earlier on december 9, the russian military telegram channel ridovka wrote that russian the troops reached the outskirts of the working area, and another public war gonza reported that russian forces pushed out from... near the working area from the side of novoprokopivka, south of the settlement. ukrainian deep state analysts reported on the advance of russian forces in the south of the robot. and they noted that the situation there is getting worse, because the numerous attacks by the armed forces against the much larger russian forces in the same novoprokopivka are having side effects. at the same time , the same deepstate analysts wrote that russian forces had allegedly moved into position worked, but they managed to get them out of there in the ukrainian general staff in the assembly. in the previous day, they reported three repulsed attacks near the robot. i would like to point out that the armed forces of ukraine liberated the village of roboty in the zaporizhzhia region, which has been occupied since march 2022, at the end of august this year. this settlement is located in the zaporizhzhia region on the road from orichovo to tokmak.

viktor burlyk, a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, joins our broadcast. victor, i welcome you, thank you for joining. greetings, studio, greetings. country, tell me which one the current situation in and around robotyne, how threatening is the situation? the situation is quite dynamic, quite tense, as the enemy manages to launch several attacks during the day, i.e. directly aimed to restore positions near robotino, enter the southern part of robotino and gain a foothold there, the attacks are repulsed from time to time, but the enemy still has progress. due to the fact that the southern line of the enemy is quite heavily saturated with personnel, there are many storm z units, stormtroopers that directly moved and in order to storm, that is , there is counterattack after counterattack, powerful artillery support, powerful technical

support, these are fpv drones, these are uavs that conduct reconnaissance from our territory, and with this... the enemy has some successes, even. if we talk about tactics, this issue should be revealed even more, and about the methods by which the weapons are used, and whether, for example, the russian forces use there, well, the so-called meat assaults, as your colleagues say, the military there, in this direction near robotically, yes, their tactics seem to be the same everywhere, they are on different platforms areas, small such groups try from different positions. attack at the same time, that is, look for a weakness in the defense of ukraine, and when such a weakness is found, a larger number of enemy personnel is concentrated with the support of artillery, with the support of armored vehicles, and they try to develop their success there. if you remember,

recently, natives from nepal were captured, that is, even such exotic specimens do not happen alone. zaporozhye direction, that is, the units there are different, different parts, they are from different corners of the world, they are saturated as much as possible in this direction in order to have some successes, to develop successes and little by little to fight back the positions they lost, that is, the russian units in this direction are practically staffed , including foreign citizens, not citizens of the russian federation, yes. well, they were promised that their victory would pass quickly and then they would receive citizenship of the russian federation, experienced people, whether they are military personnel with some experience or no experience at all, these are people who have in their hands hold machine guns and roughly know where

to shoot, and when there are enough of such people, it is dangerous, can you explain, and what is this settlement for the russian forces, or what? to enable the further advancement of the armed forces there, or at least to show some territorial gains there, what is the purpose, is there a strategic purpose? the job, well, first of all, has a big political one. as they say, the meaning, since you remember, the summer, the company of the summer counteroffensive, as often mentioned that this settlement, in fact, so that you understand, this point with now it looks exclusively like basements, basements of destroyed buildings, these are all foundations and basements , that is , there is not a single building that is not whole, this is the only situation there, but the direction of her... work, further along the highway is novoprokopivka, ilchenkove, sweetka balka

and in such and such a direction are just the keys to the tokmak, and everyone understands the danger of the robot, that if the armed forces of ukraine continue to develop success, and in this way you can reach the tokmak, that is why the line of defense there was quite powerful, it was at the beginning of summer, quite large number mined fields, all plantings, these are fortifications, completely all that are near. they are all dug in quite powerfully, underground corridors, underground connections, behind bodies, like that agglomeration, such an underground town, so the enemy prepared very hard to defend, and when the armed forces were dismissed, it became a question for them to return those positions, because it pretty well built defenses that are easy to hold defensive lines. viktor, can you tell us how the weather affects, whether it helps or not, the russian forces to conduct these

offensive actions? the work, it is symmetrical , both for the russian forces and the armed forces of ukraine, due to the fact that such weather is very, very difficult to move, part of the roads turned out, as they say, out of order, since it is impossible to move exclusively with tracked vehicles , part of the roads is very difficult. this is just right for both our fpv operators and enemy fpv operators to see cars, evacuation, someone pulling someone out, and these are just static goals that you can work on, so both on one side and on the other , viktor, i thank you for being you joined our broadcast, told what the situation was, viktor burlyk, a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, and we talked about the situation in zaporizhzhia, near work. next , we talk about the fact that

ukraine will probably not be able to launch a new offensive until 2020, writes the american newspaper wall street journal, referring to the assessment of western diplomats and military strategists. the publication notes that this is due to several factors at once: the unsuccessful summer counteroffensive, the debate in the american political community, which may lead to a stop aid to ukraine, as well as the transition of the russian economy to a military regime. the wall street journal also noted that president zelensky announced the construction of defensive fortifications along the front line, which is evidence that ukraine is moving to a positional war. exhausted ukraine needs time to recover - writes the publication. volsy journal also writes that russia has caught up with ukraine in the drone war in an area where ukrainian forces previously had an advantage. according to the ukrainian military, the russian army has better means of radio-electronic warfare, which is a hindrance the use of drones. and high-precision weapons from the west. also, according to the publication, some ukrainian military are forced

to save ammunition, not knowing how long it will last. and let me remind you that earlier bloomberg , citing data from the federal statistics service, wrote that in october of this year, the production of remote control equipment, i.e., drones, in russia increased by 33% compared to 2022. ivan stupak, military analyst, former sbu employee, mr. ivan, joins our broadcast today. i welcome you to our broadcast, yes, good morning, studio, i congratulate you, thank you for inviting me, about conducting a new offensive before 2000, the 25th year, ukraine probably won't be able to, the wall street journal writes, do you agree with such assessments? well , the ratings are really unpleasant for ukraine , you have to admit it, we can't just include bravado, but everything, everything is fine, everything is fine with us, well, well, unfortunately, not everything, everything is fine, we have problems with help, there are those million shells. which was discussed, unfortunately, only 300,000, and the countries of the west

cannot provide ukraine with such a number shells, we are fortunately provided by south korea, other countries, we are looking for what kind of russians we are all over the world, old soviet weapons, old soviet calibers, russia has found an ally in the form of north korea, and there are also questions about the quality of ammunition, even the russian military whines, but nevertheless, we unfortunately have problems with people. the number of losses we have, it must be recognized, it must be said about it, because for some reason we are not allowed to talk about it, yes, but we are silent about our losses, we have a large number amputations, unfortunately, boys and girls. they are constantly leaving the front, and we have a very small number of people with whom we can restore our losses, well, of course, this is a political component, we see how from time to time there are reports that ukraine may have to sit down to negotiate, and i i'm not saying that we should sit down, but we should have different options for getting out of this situation, well, different, different, starting from the most optimistic, the borders

of 1991, some neutral scenario, for example, this is an exit to the border of the 22nd. year well some negative scenario, but they should be on our table and we should be ready to implement one of them, or several, with different equipment, let's say different scenarios, but with different compilation. well, you see, if we use this data from various western media, we have already heard stories that use the assessments of western experts, the military, including unnamed officials, and former and current ones, but there was also a story that ukraine needs there, for example... plan b, i.e. there to pay off, defend and what here are the prospects, maybe for the coming year, in your opinion, in terms of military, taking into account the difficult situation with aid that exists, whether ukraine really needs and maybe weapons will be given only to defend itself, and on the contrary, knowing also all this information, what can

russia prepare for? well, look, a lot depends on president zelensky's visit to the white house. where, as we expect, there will be a serious conversation and, of course, there are such hopes that we will still be given the weapons that we asked for, or rather the the aid that was discussed there, in general , there is a package for ukraine, israel, taiwan, 106 billion for ukraine, 60 billion dollars, we wanted to see it, but there may be such a scenario that the countries of the west will gradually limit us in financing, not immediately, not to immediately cut us off, but there is 20 percent . to reduce the annual aid to us, and we will understand that even this aid is not just to hold back, yes, but most likely to move into some kind of positional defense and prepare for some other scenarios that may await us , see, and the only big question, to which no one can answer, but in general no one, neither western analysts, nor eastern analysts, nor ukrainians, even

if it is very hypothetical, just theoretical, some negotiations with the russians, well, everyone says in one voice, ok let's go. impossible, but how to force russia to fulfill its obligations? no one can answer, everyone understands, everyone agrees, yes, the russians signed and the russians fulfilled, these are three three different russians, how to make them fulfill the conditional agreements, no one knows, that's why there is no talk of an armistice or peace talks yet, and judging by the information we will gladly receive, it is not clear that russia would like an armistice, in fact, we have heard statements about , that the tasks of the svo, as they call this war, yes, they remain the same, taking into account everything that is happening in the world with the support of ukraine, or russia, understanding this situation, can plan a large-scale offensive next year, see , i see, personally , that the russians are preparing to do this for the 24th year

with such a jerk, they consolidated their entire budget, i will remind your viewers that if you translate it to normal. money from rubles, because for many, certainly for 90% of your citizens, well, viewers, these trillions of rubles do not mean anything at all . approximately there, depending on the exchange rate, plus approximately 25 there, well, let it be 25 billion euros - it is for the security forces, it is the rosguard, the troll, the fesshniks, and well, these security forces, that is it turns out that 40% of the russian budget will go to war one way or another, it is clear that russian business has paid large taxes in advance, it is about 2.5 billion dollars in advance windfall tax, i.e. a tax on excess profits , they paid it, of course they cut

budget expenditures by region, health care, oncology, and there is dilapidated housing, and there are ambulances, development, hospitals, construction, they are cutting everything, really everything is going to war, and shaigu said that their reference point is the 25th year, why exactly 25th year, because in the 24th year, in the us presidential election in november, it is highly expected that any candidate will win except the democrats, there is vivi kramaswari or donald trump, as they promised that they will end this war in 24 hours, it is not clear how, no one knows how, but everyone is sure that it will benefit the russians. after that, after this date, after the entry of the new president into the white house, i'm sure the russians simply don't have a plan, but they have 24 to hold on, then, somehow, somehow, we'll orient ourselves in place. the question is that you have to hold on also to ukraine. look, us secretary of state anthony blinken said that russia must be stopped in ukraine, because then it can attack a nato country and involve the us in a

wider conflict. before that, we heard that joe biden said that if putin takes over ukraine, he will not stop there, and then already american troops will fight against russian troops, because they are members of nato. in your opinion, in the usa, in nato, there is an understanding that russia is ready to go further and are they ready to resist there? to russia? let's yes, nato and the usa are different stories, but the usa is the country that holds cement, reinforced concrete, because otherwise it would have collapsed somewhere in the 70s of the last century, this is not an exaggeration, it is a historical fact, ah, i i would say, even more, the americans, as the biggest allies of ukraine and in general, well , a large nato country, they never thought about the fact that... within the alliance, some other european country had its finger on the hook of nuclear weapons, that is, they said that if nuclear weapons will be used, only the united states will do so, no country

nato will not agree to this, and we see how the europeans, they do not understand, unfortunately, what this can lead to, unfortunately, this is a great tolerance, that one must live in peace with everyone, there is a migration policy, well, we already hear even from olaf scholz that the threats are real, and we in germany hear it. these voices, that they did not understand the story in the same way before, that now putin can really go further, but, at the same time, there is a conversation about the fact that we already helped ukraine, a lot, well, we should mention germany for in the second place for help , that is, there are voices saying that, well, we have already helped, well , we have to decide in a different way, but the politicians who make decisions do not understand this , these are voices, yes, they are different lobbyists, they have there gas, oil, diamonds, there is a pile. the situation is there, in the united states they understand it, but you see, there is also a big political obstacle there, well, i want to believe that it will be overcome in the near future and the production of

ammunition will really take off, including for ukraine and for other allies of the alliance. well, if already to sum up, here these concerns of european allies that the usa may withdraw from nato in the event of donald trump's victory, these are not groundless concerns. yes, it was always such, such a concern that if the united states was gone. in the alliance , then the alliance will not be able to hold out, no matter how donald trump is treated, but he was right when he said that, look, the united states makes an extraordinary contribution to the defense of the alliance, yes, they allocated more than 2% of gdp there to military industry, germany one there and nine, spain is the only one there, yes, there are only 11 countries of the alliance there, recently they allocated under 2% of gdp to the defense sector, all the rest somehow they were in no hurry, it is still important to understand here, look, for example, greece, yes , it seemed to comply with the standard , but it complied with where, and they financed

their military, that is, not the production of weapons, but increased the salary of the military, and it seemed that, well, we are fulfilling 2%, that is, it is such a bureaucratic game, but the united states is indeed, the cement that holds the alliance together is not the us will be in the alliance, the alliance will not fall apart, i tell you, i will also add that the new york times writes about these concerns. to get an answer from trump's associates, which is there at all, what his statements mean, whether he really has such a goal for the us to withdraw from nato. ivan stupak was a guest of freedom of the morning and thank you ivan for joining, military analyst. i encourage you to comment, subscribe and share this video with your loved ones and friends. this is important for the development of ukrainian-language youtube. donald trump is in direct competition for the presidency with joe biden. these are the results of a survey conducted by journalists of the wall street journal. in the elections to be held in the usa in november 2024, 43% of voters would prefer

incumbent president biden, and 47% would prefer trump. and one more result of this survey - the lowest support for the current president during his entire term. but to the question, if the elections were held now, the votes of the two candidates are approximately the same. 37% named trump, and 31% named biden. 1,500 americans took part in this study. wall street the journal conducted the poll by phone, sent text messages, and invited people to vote online. it is interesting that in october, according to the results of a similar survey by fox news, joe biden had a higher rating than donald trump, but was inferior to other republican candidates. but the new york times writes that the european union will be afraid of trump's victory, because there is a possibility that the usa will leave. from nato. the publication refers to current and former european diplomats. during his presidency donald trump repeatedly stated that the united states should leave the north atlantic alliance.

now european politicians. writes the new york times, apparently frightened by trump's phrase: we must complete the process, start under my administration a fundamental reassessment of nato's purpose and mission. this message is on the website of the campaign of donald trump. and according to american journalists, european politicians held talks with trump's associates to find out his intentions regarding nato. journalists asked trump to explain what he had on attention, however, the politician sent a statement that did not contain a clear answer, but expressed skepticism about us. so write the new york times. thus, the journalists come to a conclusion. europoliticians believe that if trump wins, it will not only be a rejection of aid to ukraine, but also the withdrawal of the united states from nato and the european continent. and the eu does not know how to deal with trump, except, i quote, returning to the previous game of flattery and praise. vigan magda, director of the institute of world politics, joined our broadcast. yevgeny, i welcome you to our broadcast, thank you joined good morning, congratulations. 47%

of americans believe that us aid to ukraine should remain at the previous level or be increased, according to the results of a survey by the washington pew research center . at the same level, if society thinks it is necessary? well, wait, we 're jumping from problem solving to next year's problem for now. presidential problem elections, because now it is important for ukraine to ensure its support for 2024 , the year of the presidential elections, and actually it is important to return bipartisan support, this is also an important point, so the problem we have today is not how many percent of americans support providing aid to ukraine, but the problem is how we...

will actually continue to exist and continue to fight in this situation of uncertainty, i think that the meeting between volodymyr zelenskyi and joseph biden, which will take place tomorrow, will put a lot of dots on and, and i also i hope that volodymyr zelenskyi will personally meet with the congressmen in order to explain to them, to explain to them why and what exactly... ukraine needs funds, why and what role ukraine plays in the modern world, this, in my opinion, will be the most obviously and most needed today. in your opinion, will these explanations be able to somehow turn this situation around and get support. i would like to remind you that currently the american aid to ukraine, initiated by joe biden by the american lawmakers, remains blocked in more than 60 billion dollars, so... here

is another interesting question, you are talking about a meeting with congressmen, but should there be a meeting with, for example, trump, zelenskyi, with trump, zelenskyi, with the wing of the republicans who are there pro-trump, in fact , the pro-trump wing is not so numerous, but i think that its representatives will definitely participate in meetings with volodymyr zelensky, me. it seems that the president of ukraine made a little mistake when he said that he was ready to discuss the plan trump and is ready to meet with him, that is , now that zelensky will be in the states, i think that the trump team can play on this and try to demonstrate that zelensky is meeting not only with the current american authorities, but also with its opponent.
