of our telethon, which has been going on for 659 days since russia attacked ukraine on a full scale with all its forces, by the way, the recently released data of american intelligence was interesting, it turns out that 89% of all soldiers who attacked ukraine almost two years ago , died or were seriously injured and left forever angry. wanted to say the soviet, well, we understood, the russian army, nevertheless, the russians constantly continue to mobilize more and more mobilized and throw them on the ukrainian fronts, also lost more than 2, 2,200 tanks, as far as i remember, also according to those american intelligence reports, which is very interesting, in fact, american intelligence data about the total losses of the russian army, and in fact coincide with the assessments of the general staff, which is actually... an assessment of trust in the information that

it disseminates, which is provided more precisely by the general staff of ukraine. 340,000 russians, this is a huge number, of course, which is many times higher any losses of the russian army since the second world war, which, where in the end the biggest price was paid , were mobilized from ukraine and belarus. well, dmytro bychkov is already with us. chairman of the dnikopol district council, mr. dmytro, good morning to you, good morning, of course i would like to ask how the night went, what is the situation in nikopol now? all of us in the nikopol region understand very well that the enemy will shoot and continue the terror of the nikopol region until the armed forces of ukraine defeat the terrorists and barbarians, so we all understand very well that we have to, given some fatigue, continue to support the armory. the strength of ukraine and help in order to repel the enemy,

and so that the shelling not only in our area throughout ukraine stops. the enemy continues to shell, yesterday there was a shelling of nikopol, during the shelling one woman was injured, there were also shellings at night, which today, the results are still with us, the consequences of these shellings are still being established, so the terror continues. mr. dmytro, but... is there at least one a district in nikopol that has not been shelled during all this time, there are certain communities in the territory of the nikopol district that have not been shelled, that is, we actually have three cities, five rural communities, there are certain territories that are shelled, and of course , a certain part of people left there, and there is a certain part of the territory in which, on the contrary, people moved and continue to live. now it's winter again, is there, do you notice any outflow

of people, are they moving somewhere, or have you already come to terms with what is and remain and somehow live in it until the moment comes, well, we see a different situation, there are people who leave, there are people who, on the contrary , return, and i think we can say that more people are returning, because everyone has their own story, there are a lot of elderly people. a lot of people take care of these people, people work here, people , if it wasn't good somewhere in another part of ukraine or in europe, then a home is your home, so in principle, a lot of people return precisely because of such signs, because they i still want to be at home, meanwhile i read that in nikopol, of course , i do not know how it is possible to discuss such topics, but nevertheless, they are going to dismantle a fighter jet, a tank and a howitzer from the time of the soviet

union, the discussion has already begun, somewhere from december 8, ah, some electronic consultations will take place and this discussion will continue until january 8, what kind of tank, howitzer and fighter jet are these, mr. dmytro, when they appeared in nikopol, well, they appeared, they are monuments that... let's put it this way, taken into account, set for securing victory in the second world war war, they stand in different parts of the city of nikopol. their installation by the soviet authorities, this possible demolition of these monuments, of course, caused a very big discussion in social networks, people have different attitudes to this initiative, and now there is a public discussion in the relevant different channels, and what do you mean by

different attitude, i.e. there are those who say let's leave all this soviet... er, junk that was installed to remind us that nikopel was occupied? well, yes, yes, you are telling the truth a certain part of the people, despite the fact that they are being shelled every day, they believe that this should be left, that it is not the time, that they should be engaged in other matters, but of course, we always say that the number of patriotic population in nikopol and area increased significantly during the full-scale war. which was implemented, but there is a corresponding number of people who already find it very difficult to reformat their thinking, which was shaped by the soviet union, let's say, and they continue to push the corresponding line in the corresponding social networks, that it should not be done out of time, but we believe that , you know, there are appropriate authorities for that and authorities, and

in order to sometimes look ahead and make appropriate decisions so that in the future, it has never been repeated again, so this is the situation in the nikopol region, according to your feelings, when these discussions will end, how will they end, will this soviet heritage be dismantled or will it remain on its pedestals, well, it will be take appropriate authorities of the nikopol local government, well, the city council, but i think that i think that the appropriate decisions will be made. uh, in the meantime, you know, actually, everyone knows about nikopol, probably now in the city, somewhere in the world, and here i read that this year, leverkusen, a german bavarian town, became a sister city of nikopol, and here they are not just like brothers, but they really try to help all the time, i saw that

two days ago, while they were distributing, they brought help from nikopol, and these are just some things warm for e. people for the residents of nikopol , but they also handed over a rather large batch, as i understand it, of various medical equipment for hospitals, these are the people of liverkusen, and now nikopolen also wants to be friends with the scots and the sister city of nove, another one of "it will appear, this is a scottish city perth, and they even passed on such a special charm, a ceremonial scottish one, mr. dmytro knows more about it, i'm telling you this from what i read in the news, it's called...

ulaanbaatar, that's where we have to look, we would i wanted to be friends with us even more, frankly speaking, we make a lot of relevant requests from various embassies, foundations in order to pay more attention to the territory of the nikopol region, because humanitarian and food kits are at a fairly good level in the nikopol region, but psychological support, work with children, and sports direction, it needs to be improved accordingly, just like these... conclusion of relevant contracts with leverkusen, with perat, we have relevant contracts with elbasan, albania, nikopol district, marganets, city armukhitsa, the corresponding signing of contracts, and now both manas and ambulances are coming for the rural communities of the nikopol district from the polish side, that is why

a lot of funds of local self-government bodies and state authorities are helping in the nikopol district, that is, they are paying attention to it. we are very grateful to all those who help us in these extremely difficult and difficult times, and we believe that we want both perth and leverkusen and all other cities of the world, europe, to have a suitable twinning with our regions, we would like this was more. well, thank you very much for this conversation, mr. dmytro, dmytro buchko, he was with us, the head of the nikpov district council, thank you, we wish all residents of the nikopol community a peaceful day as much as possible, which is very... often actually continued every day, unfortunately , to fire at the russians, who are very, very, very close, since the city is actually not even close to the front, but it can be said to be front-line, writes the viewer ot... one of our sergey ve, that we should do other things, and not demolish monuments, and change paving stones and roads, now funds are needed for support military hospitals, support for idps

who have lost everything, support for volunteers who do , somehow, you know, i agree with something, but to lump everything together, well, it is absolutely wrong, please, sir, but please pay attention to what the muscovites are doing, they are the first, what are they doing, they just entered a monument somewhere. in the 39th year to lviv, the first thing they did, literally the first thing, was to immediately start building a monument near the opera house, literally, they didn't even have time to finish it, because the germans came right away, they were thrown out of there, but they then returned to on the 45th, they finished that monument, the first thing they did, you shouldn't really underestimate it. those ones, how to say it correctly, you should not underestimate these signs, who we are, because this is exactly what the war is about, when you

are declared one people, then in principle you have no other way out than to fight for your identity, let's definitely go for a short break, let's go for a short break, then we'll come back and continue our call, we'll talk about what's happening in the kherson region, stay with us. it is a good tradition during the christmas holidays to carol together with the picardy tertiary. tickets on the konzert.ua website. media partner of spresso tv. the spirit of christmas will definitely come to your city. picardy tertia. good health to good people. live sound. icelandic moss vitamin c is your power to fight cough and snoring. iceland 15%. knows what

dear friends, we are returning to the ether and we continue our marathon, now we will talk about kherson. and about what is happening there, there has already been a discussion among our viewers in the comments under the youtube broadcast, and here it is for you, by the way, as an illustration of the previous topic, but already jumping to kherson, moscow, this is about what is necessary or not it is necessary to demolish the old monuments, which were erected by the soviet authorities, marking their territory, what the moskals are doing in the meantime, in the meantime

the moskals have issued a new ma'. and at the forum, at the exhibition, the forum russia was held in moscow the extinguishing ceremony of the first postal stamp of the kherson region, which was created by the russians, and on that stamp it is written that these are the regions of russia, the kherson region, even a stamp, a small stamp, but even there they huddle and stamp that it is now russian peace. yury subulevskyi, the first deputy chairman of the kherson regional council is in touch with us, mr. yury, we welcome you. i congratulate you, how do you like this russian stamp, how do you like the marking that the kherson region is now a region of russia? well, frankly, no way, you know, well, the shows that they do and including about it a piece of paper that they call a stamp, well , this is a work for their own audience, everyone who is even now forced to be temporarily under occupation perfectly understands whose territory this

has always been and always will be, and they are very much looking forward to de-occupation and liberation, they can hold fake elections here, to issue coins, stamps , whatever, the most important thing is the opinion of the people who live here, in khersonets, residents of the kherson region, they are one hundred percent one position that this is the territory of ukraine, and that they are ukrainians, and no russian peace is for them... it is necessary, of course, it is difficult, there is terror, er , this industrial integration, it has its consequences, there is a certain percentage, unfortunately, of collaboration, but absolutely mostly the majority of people, these are our people, ukrainians, who are very patriotic. it is interesting that even before the occupation there was a monument to potemkin, suvorov and ushakov in kherson, but the russians took care of everything in principle and took them

with them when... they fled from kherson, during the de-occupation the guys finally carried out decommunization and decolonization, well you see, for us monuments are just a part of something history, yes, no more, for them it is completely different, for them it is, you know, like a fetish, they have been from the very beginning of the occupation, they did not even quite understand what to do with this, let's say, the creation of an alternative one. history, they even managed to put up several monuments to lenin, yes, there in our communities, the fact that they took with them from the soviet era monuments, well, we have less work, because i am sure that none of us should let's stay here with some things related to this period, for us it is no longer a simple story for us, well it principled position, my personal opinion, sir.

please tell me what is the general situation in the city, in the region? well, it was difficult at night, actually, because there was massive shelling in kherson and in the central part of the city, they worked again in residential areas, now it is being clarified, information on injuries will be compiled, as of the evening, one person was injured in our country yesterday. but there was a lot of shelling at night, so, unfortunately, it may be now... different statistics, they worked with unguided weapons, again, these are both mlrs and artillery, later there will also be official information from law enforcement agencies about which weapons systems the enemy used, but we can already say that it was an unguided weapon, that is, it is again a deliberate act...
