intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine headed by its head kyryll budanov, and in april of this year, a russian court arrested the main ukrainian intelligence officer in absentia. muscovite was massively attacked at night drones, at least that's what the ministry of defense of the aggressor country claims. according to their data, in total, the russian air defense system allegedly shot down nine drones over the night. moscow and kaluga regions. all but one flew to the capital city of erephia. local officials said that there were no casualties or damage. the united states senate has approved the country's record defense budget for fiscal year 2024. we are talking about the amount of almost 900 billion dollars. this is 3% more than last year. 68 legislators voted for him. from

both parties, the president will also support him joe biden. the draft defense budget provides, in particular, the allocation of 300 million to support ukraine. now the bill must be adopted by the house of representatives. it is expected to be done this week, after which it will be signed by the president. the us house of representatives has authorized an impeachment inquiry into president joe biden. reports the reuters agency. at the same time , the republicans have not provided convincing evidence that biden has committed crimes. the investigation should establish whether the head of the white house received illegal profit from the business operations of his 53-year-old son hunter. according to the media, this decision of congress is highly likely not to lead to biden's resignation. but the very fact of the investigation will allow supporters of donald trump to blame the current president.

biden in corruption during the 2024 election campaign. an evening of music and help. radio lvivska khvyla organized a charity winter concert. they collected 200,000 hryvnias for a speed boat for special operations forces. in order to get to the concert, it was necessary to help ours defenders tickets were drawn for the largest donations. well-known ukrainian bands and performers performed, including olena topol, viktor vinnyk, hast and many others. i love the lviv wave very much, because it is one of the few radio stations that support both beginners, artists, and masters, in short, everyone, and they were pro-ukrainian, about how it became a menstruum. secondly, such concerts are at least important for the fact that our people are a little tired. so, such concerts remind us that it is impossible to get tired. together with public

organized by baza ua collects. funds for atvs to transport the wounded and other needs of the 93rd separate mechanized brigade of the armed forces of ukraine, cold yar. in extremely difficult conditions, the ukrainian military fights for victory every day, not leaving wounded comrades on the battlefield. with quadricycles , evacuation will be faster, and therefore easier, and the chances of saving the wounded will be greater. in general, our goal is uah 800,000. with your help, we have already collected more than 350 thousand. your donation is a thank you to those who protect us on the battlefield, so support, don't stay don't care, you can see all the details on your screens now. in one of the sumy hospitals , they are preparing to operate directly in the bomb shelter. now the institution treats more than

250 patients every day. people are provided with a full range of medical services, and the main direction of the institution today is operations of native complexity. the idea of to set up an operating room underground arose at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, already then the hospital became a real fortress, in which doctors often lived as whole families. what will be the underground operating room, let's see further in the plot of my colleagues. early of the full-scale invasion in february-march 2022, when russian tanks and missiles were already here, mrs. olena lived in the underground storage of the hospital with her daughter for about a month, she says, she only felt it in the dungeon. felt safe and could work to save people, she only went up to do tests and pick up the sick, and when volodymyr ivanovich arranged all the conditions here so that we could stay as families, spend the night, we decided,

decided to stay here with the child, we spent a whole a month for her to be at least calm slept at night, lived as families and, of course , dropped patients directly into the bomb shelter. with the operating room elevator to the dungeon, those who are lying sick, they also experienced air anxiety, i think they were calmer here, they knew that they were in a protected place, mr. oleksii, an orthopedic doctor, stayed to live at work with his family, says his six-year-old son at that time passed the medical aid course in this way, because he saw how his father saved the wounded, we had doctors who were on duty, who were on duty 24 hours a day, on duty on the floors. doctors who helped in the reception department, and doctors who , let's say, were engaged in other organizational work, because at our request volodymyr ivanovich brought us a lot of sand, stood next to us, rolled up his sleeves and began to pour sand, we began to completely fence off our oxygen stations, our power stations for

that in case of which we were constantly provided with both oxygen and electricity, closed the windows, prepared the reception department as much as possible and we were ready. literally a day and a half before the development of any situation, absolutely, because on the 25th in the morning we received the first wounded. in addition to those injured as a result of russia's military aggression, sumy doctors also saved their regular patients in unusual conditions. the names of the offices were written in paint. we did not stop our work for a minute. there were also ordinary people who also fell at home, were hit by cars, were injured, were simply sick, not only in orthopedics and traumatology, they were. surgery, neurosurgery, neurology, therapeutic profiles, at that time the covid department was still working, then - says the chief a doctor, and the idea arose to make a reserve operating room, fully autonomous, in case it is necessary to save human lives under rocket attacks, the idea quickly

turned into action, and now there is work in the dungeon, this shelter was built in soviet times, the doors are reliable, they were then thought out in case of a radiation threat, but to be carried out by surgeons. operations need serious re-equipment, anti-radiation , so we removed such doors here and there, well, that is , there will be four exits from this one, well, the bomb shelter is one of those that goes there here on its own communications, pipes , we are changing now, we are doing ventilation here, the device will be there next, which, well, we will separately remove the diesel generator, fuel supply, food supply , operating room, dressing room , according to the head doctor, we need about 3 million uah for equipment that will help doctors work in dungeons and saving people, hopes for charitable organizations and humanitarian aid, while preparing for winter and all possible scenarios, because with an aggressor country in the neighborhood, you have to be

prepared for the worst, but believe in the best, - volodymyr potseluyev is sure, and it is imperative to implement projects that will help save human lives in the border region. from sums for... this is all the news for this hour, you will find more interesting and relevant information on our website espresso.tv, as well as on our social networks. join, place yours. likes next, my colleagues lesya vakolyuk and andriy saichuk are waiting for you on the air. see you later. dear friends, we are back on the air and continuing our marathon. lesya vakulyuk, andriy saichuk, we work for you in this studio today until 12 o'clock. we continue our roll call. well, what are you going to do before your father

, uh, to hell to heaven, it’s beautiful from the comments of our viewers, ugh, the discussion about christmas continues, some say that give us back christmas, which was on january 6-7, and in general, in general, poroshenko promised that there will be two christmases, according to the new style and according to the old, and then i took and appointed everything only according to the new style, no, i did not promise, it is beautiful there. poroshenko set christmas for december 25-26, i don't understand when he set christmas for december 25-26, where did he look in general, especially with december 26, it even surprises me where he was looking at all, well, to be honest, you know that, by the way, poroshenko was once appointed easter, he says, and in three days we will celebrate easter, well first. you need him on the cross, carry him. well, friends, poroshenko, of course, was an all-powerful president, but not

so much. and in general, there is a very simple answer, how to celebrate christmas again on the seventh day. you just have to slow down the ground. it will rotate more slowly, it is better to just stop. we are staying for 13 days. then we run it again, and bam, we're back on the calendar for 13 days, yes so to speak, found themselves. everything is very simple. and no , on the contrary, wait, don't stop , we have to speed up, speed up, speed up, we have to, we have to speed up our collection, this is what we need to witness, we need to collect 1,220,000, we are collecting for powerful portable battery stations with solar panels, that's how they look, you can see on your screens now, we are collecting for the 108th dnipropetrovsk separate brigade of the territorial defense forces of the armed forces of ukraine, we already have 703.766 1060 my god, 703.76 uah 64 kopecks, those 64 kopecks, you know

they have been hanging around since yesterday, however, yesterday we did not have 700,000, but 600, and you and i for yesterday, my god, i already forgot how much we collected, well, we collected quite a bit, i will tell you, dear friends, good pace, but you see we need to raise 1 million 220 00 and we need these powerful portable battery stations so that... our military can charge their military equipment to effectively destroy the enemy and these stations can replace the generator and provide the soldiers energy even in field conditions, therefore such a thing is needed: 5375, 41/12 0837 2065 card number, if your hands suddenly itch, write something about christmas , about returning it to the way we are used to it in the end, then it is better to write it, take a few hryvnias

and transfer it to ours, to our collection, and everyone will be happy, both you and us, because it will go well for our military, and they will destroy muscovites, muscovites and thus distance us from the russian world as well, and we continue our roll call , oleksandr skoryk, deputy of the kharkiv regional council, is in touch with us, mr alexander, we congratulate you. good morning, how was the night, tell us? you know, no worries, whether it is due to the fact that kyivstar is not working, or whether it is due to the fact that the enemy is not attacking us, but there was no worry, we had a great night's rest, and now we will all go to work, we have such wonderful weather, it is snowing minus five outside the window. i would like everyone to be careful, because there is ice on the roads and on the sidewalks,

so everyone who is going to work in kharkiv in the kharkiv region should be very careful. because there is ice, the utility workers are dealing with the snow, how much has fallen , enough snow has fallen, the roads are being cleared, the salt-sand mixture is constantly being scattered, there are no particular problems, yesterday all the roads were passable, despite the fact that it snowed almost all day, communal services in kharkiv region are coping. we should take an example from the communal services in the kharkiv region, then we hint to some other cities that did not cope with the snow, and in the meantime, while the communal services are coping with the snow, the people of kharkiv also cope with it, but in a slightly different way, and listen,

i even envy how the people of kharkiv cope with the snow, they decided to organize such... a snowman competition, everyone sculpts in their yard something else, we can watch this parade of snowmen in the kharkiv style, so, you see, they also molded the chair, here is such a lady, they painted her in some color, here is such a snowman, then some kind of cat or something, so something on the head, and the impression is that putin was framed, well, somewhere close. yes you know that the people of kharkiv are very creative , intellectually educated, so this is a normal story when, despite 659 days of war, people find strength in themselves, find time to be creative, to do something pleasant for the local and in order to raise the new year's mood after all,

because in literally a week it's christmas, and i think that practically... the larger, larger mass of kharkiv residents have already passed the celebration with the civilized free world, and on december 25 everyone will celebrate christmas, main mass, so it is necessary to raise the festive mood in kharkiv. the people of kharkiv are very, you know , treat this with so much love, well done, we, no matter what, there, by the way, i will discuss again the statements... there of ilon mask regarding the fact that kharkiv will be taken over and so much so that he believes that this will be a priority goal of the russian federation. the people of kharkiv know for sure that kharkiv will be ukrainian, and the people of kharkiv will resist, and we will not give up our place, nor a single centimeter of our land there, so everyone must be

calm and understand that the people of kharkiv will resist, you know how it was then... there was such a slogan with our ship cherkasy, cherkasy will resist, the people of kharkiv will also resist, and we are in the mood, we , we have new year's holidays, we have a session of the regional council, we have a commission today, a budget commission, we will be engaged in public political life and work for the people, work so that kharkiv region, as soon as possible, together with ukraine... kill that bastard , which constantly confuses us. mr. oleksandr, but you say that there is already a majority people will switch to the new celebration calendar, that is, everything went well with nicholas, are people still waiting for the night from the 18th to the 19th, as they used to, or did nicholas come to kharkiv sooner this year? mykolay

came to kharkiv this year, in my opinion, on time, the question is not about speed, he came on time. and i see that there are clear attitudes in society that everyone wants to be with the free world, everyone wants to be supporters of the orthodox church of ukraine, the ecumenical patriarchate, so i see a very powerful dynamic for change, but there are still people who there are some traditions, from some own understanding of this issue, and plus there is the constant propaganda of the moscow churches regarding the fact that it should be unchanged. there are some people who are left, but that is their right, they will, i think , eventually figure it out and it will take a little time for us to celebrate all the holidays with the civilized world, the free world, away from moscow, you know, it should not only geographically, it should be in all absolutely social areas of our

life, including in the church, and what about... by the way, with the churches of moscow patriarchate in kharkiv, how do they feel? unfortunately, the churches of the moscow patriarchate remained the churches of the moscow patriarchate , practically none of them came under the protection of the orthodox church of ukraine, there were isolated cases, and then they were, they were before the full-scale invasion, now i know that several communities are negotiating with their . uh, by the superiors regarding that, regarding the transition, uh, and well, i will inform you about this issue, because this is my issue, i am personally concerned about it, it hurts me a lot, eh, because i'm a believer. man, for me , this is the number one issue in public life, i will inform you, there are certainly communities that are negotiating and want

to move, but everyone is waiting for someone to do this chess first, and this first person must do it, and then according to my calculations, no , well, more than 10 communities are already ready to move to the free world, to the orthodox church of ukraine, and they should go about it very deliberately, very much, so that there are no, no different disagreements, in russian, a russian word , so that there is no object discussion, the whole community must be clearly sure that it wants to transfer, no matter what, then we will clearly understand that this community, which has transferred to the bosom of the orthodox church of ukraine, is ukrainian, it is... pro-ukrainian, and in we share the same symbols with them, the same goals, just to translate communities like that where neither

the parishioners nor the abbot have matured, er, it is not necessary, and it cannot be done, this issue should all mature , and people should be initiators in their community, and initiators of translation and put this question to a vote, be honest with yourself, where do you want to be? do you want to be further with the moscow russian church, or do you want to be with the free world of the ecumenical patriarchate from the orthodox church of ukraine. well, i think that this process is going on, it is going intensively, and we are on the way to serious changes, including in kharkiv region. in zaporizhzhia, just before this they said, a woman, the wife of the abbot of the church, was detained there , who was leading the moscow priest, who , it turns out, was leading according to... data of the sbu, of course, it is impossible to say 100%, but as if she actually launched these missile strikes against zaporozhye and also made public her correspondence with various friends and mentors

and colleagues from russia, where she, in particular , argues that if the armed forces had not resisted, they would have long since lived a new life in the liberated the nazis in ukraine and the ukrainians too, unfortunately, unfortunately, we have such information, er, that, er, among her diocese, the ukrainian orthodox church, the moscow patriarchate, there are a lot of supporters, well, there are a lot of outright agents, this our security service deals with this, our law enforcement agencies deal with this are engaged in, there are a lot of its supporters, unfortunately, unfortunately, we have, we have such a history that the moscow... church is an enemy organization, and i, a supporter of radical struggle there , because we cannot in the second year there

war er to make some alternative, someone has to choose something, it is a question of our survival, a question of our future. i think that, despite everything, the verkhovna rada should still adopt a law on the prohibition of the activity of the enemy church, that is, simply and succinctly: the prohibition of the activity of the church, and then, after this ban, we can already talk about something with those dioceses, with those parishes that want to be with the orthodox church of ukraine, and recognize, recognize, well, at the level of the verkhovna rada, non-religious organizations, this should have been done a long time ago, so that they did not have a religious status. organization, it cannot be, a church with its center in an enemy country, a religious organization, receive the benefits that the church,

the ukrainian orthodox so-called church of the moscow patriarchate receives, it is impossible, therefore the verkhovna rada must listen to this to the opinion of the people and to gather and vote on those simple decisions, which, by the way, we have several pro... projects that are very well-developed, correct, and i studied them, they are very correct, they must be voted on, because otherwise we let's just keep things straight, it will be a dead end story, when sooner or later everything will be fine, this scumbag, he will blow everything up, and it will be, well, it can be very dangerous, i also read in kharkiv that a man was convicted in... already a 60-year-old man, who gave the russian fsb officers data about employees of the security service of ukraine, military pilots, commanders

of special units of the armed forces of ukraine, and... also information about critical defense industry facilities in kharkiv, and as this man explained, he did everything, he did all this, and because he was born and grew up in the ussr and does not believe that committed a crime, he also added that he cannot divide his great homeland of the ussr into parts. in short, he said that he wants to connect his future with a country in which there will be no war, and it does not matter to him whether it will be ukraine or russia. federation, if it doesn't matter, i don't understand, our man was sitting, suffering in kharkiv, ukrainian, moreover, he has a brother somewhere over there in the russian army, and he would join his brother, and he would go to russia, and he would have a great life there, they really like the soviet heritage there, it would be good for him, in fact, propaganda has been imposed for years, propaganda has been imposed for years, and this is the category of those people who are processed... processed on

the topic of the common past of the soviet union, well, they were born in the soviet union, they worked , it was good, there was friendship between peoples and so on, as well as the language question which for years, they have been trying to divide ukrainian society into two parts, the western ukrainian-speaking and the eastern russian-speaking, these are all elements of propaganda, and unfortunately, there are people who... uh, fell under the influence of this propaganda, and i want to say more, there are actually quite a lot of them in kharkiv, what i see is a large number of people who, after all, or a category of people who dream about the past of the soviet union, when they were beautiful, young, healthy, and they believe that with the arrival of the soviet union will also be better for them, that people who openly have a pro-russian

position. and they are confused by the language topic, they are confused by the love for the brotherly people, well, those elements of propaganda that have been imposed on ukraine constantly for years, it just works after all, but the main mass of kharkiv residents, they are sober, sober thinking people, they are pro-ukrainian, they are patriots of their city, they are patriots of their russia, and they fiercely hate putin and... everything he did in our city, i want to remind you that 350,000 people were left homeless, so how do we can we have some , even some elementary feelings of respect for them after that, no, they are an enemy who kills us, who leaves us homeless, who wants to destroy us as a nation, destroy us as a city, destroy us as a people, therefore the main the mass of kharkiv residents, the main mass

of kharkiv residents - great patriots with such a heart, who will resist, if they come to us again, we will resist. mr. oleksandr, thank you for these words, and also our viewers, you see how they switched from christmas, saw the kitty and everything. how, they ask like, what is the nickname of that tailed woman from kharkiv, who is lying on the back of the sofa behind you. this is my favorite pussy, i call her eva, i have a lot. cats, and they are all in the morning , when i come, i feed them, i them , they they come to me, i stroke them, they love me, and i love them, by the way, they experienced exactly this story, why i after the war them, after the start of a full-scale war, i loved them more, because when we had a front line in this very place, they remained here, and

when after a certain time... i just couldn't to spend the night, because physically everything was under cover when i arrived, they were so happy for me, and i was so happy for them, that i have such a feeling for them that they are something the sweetest, the most familiar, and i loved them, loved them with new strength again, so now i have such, you know, front-line cats, i love them, i raise them and pay more attention to them than i paid to her front-line cats before the war... congratulations, we hope eva has her adam, thank you, mr. oleksandr, for the conversation, oleksandr skoryk, deputy of the kharkiv regional council, was in touch with us, they talked about kharkiv oblast, kharkiv, the moscow patriarchate, kharkiv traitors and people who do not betray kharkiv, as well as front-line cats. now let's take a short break, then come back and continue.
