will be already next year, they, they affect not only the military, they actually take pdfo from the entire security sector, and these are the workers of the state emergency service, and these are the police workers, in fact, for this personal income tax, it has always been part of the local budget and for this personal income tax the local budget calculated and was able to cover social guarantees for the local population there, in general to support the livelihood of its territory, and now this tax, which is a very large amount, in fact, which is also taken from the state budget today, therefore... well, actually, of course , the state is preparing safeguards there in the form of targeted subsidies to the territories, but we must understand that they will in no way be even close to the losses that, for example, the frontline territories receive. well, now, if, let's say, you take those personal income tax returns that, well, you haven't received them yet, i mean next year, but the expenses have already been pledged, the revenues have been pledged, promising, possible in this budget, how many percent can go, let's say, for military needs, but

a decision was made in kyiv, this is again not a billion hryvnias for the army, there the expenditure part of kyiv's budget is 85 billion, the income is 72, well, a billion is for needs and related to defense and so on, well , it is written very complicatedly, but relatively speaking, everyone understands that it is for for the army, a billion, that's 85 billion and a billion for the army, this is so that we understand that there is such a thing now, but if we talk about the budget of your region, how many percent can be allocated so as not to affect... the social sphere, medical, well there and so on and so on and so on, all that on what communal sphere there and reconstruction, because this also requires money, no one will give it, how much can be spent on the needs of the army, the purchase of drones and other, many other things? i will tell you frankly, this is a very difficult question, because in fact, relatively speaking, today a small part of the budget for the 24th year, i mean, if we take the direct budget of the region, because it is small due to the large occupation of the territory of the region, but only conventionally, about 5% goes

to defense infrastructure there, i mean of a civilian nature, that is, there are defense e-e structures and the like, more part of the budget of the zaporizhia region today is directed specifically to support social infrastructure, i mean today it is medical infrastructure, it is hospitals, it is educational infrastructure, that is , the regional budget, it actually does not deal with the issues of tiles or any other things there, we actually support only the functioning critical infrastructure, and even under these conditions, in fact... the regional budget will have a large deficit, again due to the withdrawal of the military personal income tax, so if we talk about the regional budget, the situation there quite complicated, and all funds are clearly regulated, expenses, i mean , expenses are regulated by the regional military administration, every expense to date, it passes a special commission, and even there those communities that are in the controlled territory of the zaporizhia region, they cannot make purchases without the approval of this commission, i.e., as of today, zaporizhzhia... oblast, just territorial

communities, for sure, except for the city of zaporizhzhia, they are completely subordinated to the oblast military administration, all purchases are made in this way. a large part of the budget, in fact, budget funds, again, is in the city of zaporizhzhia, as far as i am not mistaken, last year several hundred million hryvnias were also directed to support the army in the city budget, i think about eight billion, so these are small funds, but we must also understand that specifically in the city of zaporizhzhia today... people, that is, it is a burden on the social infrastructure, on the medical infrastructure, and in fact the city on today directs these funds to support, including internally displaced persons, that is, i would still not consider the budget of the city of zaporizhia as a budget that is directed to tiles or something else, because , well, in fact, in zaporizhzhia, well, not much is done in any way is related to improvement than other things, that is , the majority of the budget is aimed specifically at critical infrastructure, and today the city will lose...

also a large volume of funds precisely due to the withdrawal of the military personal income tax. well, i think i have literally two minutes, if i can now they won't say anything, i'm going to ask about how to track the rational use of funds here now, because i'm here now not accusing anyone, because i don't know, but a strange story, let's say, it's just as an example, you know, a small dot on the map, in the chornobayiv community, uah 50,200 was given to an entrepreneur, well, for the performance of certain works or certain activities there, and she registered in... entrepreneurial activity 16 days before she received this money, a question already arises, those questions can be many, because you can perform work for one amount, receive another amount, well, everyone understands everything, but how to fight with this, or now, as they say, you can fight only according to the situation? in fact, if i say, i can talk about the zaporizhia region, i will return to this issue, that a special commission has been created in the zaporizhia regional military administration, which actually does not allow overpayments, does not allow certain payments and projects to be made. if they cannot

be agreed by this commission, which includes representatives of the regional military administration of specialized structures, also separately in each region of ukraine, it is already general state trends created. working groups on transparency and accountability , which include representatives of the military administrations, the security services of ukraine, the security service of ukraine, the prosecutor's office, the police, who actually also monitor these issues, this is what concerns state mechanisms, and again, we are very dependent today and very grateful to these to the anti-corruption infrastructure, i mean to investigators, representatives of the mass media, because today a large number of purchases are exposed due to such public activity, very it's good that the system worked. transparently, i.e. it obliges budgets of all levels to publish projects in them, and tenders, this is very important, and due to just such a public infrastructure, a lot of attention is also paid to these purchases today, and some purchases, they actually slow down even at the stage of simply announcing tenders , thank you very much for

participating, thank you for your comments, and skada shurbekov, a deputy of the zaporizhzhia regional council, explained to us a little the situation with whether the city government can finance the army, the city, the village cannot directly cannot, there are certain... nuances, therefore it is always necessary to understand that part of the personal income tax is now taken from the communities, again to the center, and there are also certain duties that must be fulfilled, this is also necessary money, relatively speaking , the state wants to drink water from the tap, but here the issue is also important, so that someone does not steal from it, but before i hand it over, serhiy zgurets is next to me, i congratulate serhiy, i congratulate you vasyl, i congratulate our viewers, i will make one remark now, and then we will start. military results of the day, this is about mobilization, and rustem umerov , while in lviv today, said that even the village head now has the right to personally form and sign summonses, according to the cabinet of ministers resolution no. 352, other issues are currently being worked out legislatively regarding mobilization, after approval by the verkhovna rada , decisions will be have been voiced, it is immediately, so

to speak, to start, well, actually , we will start the conversation about the military results of this day and week literally in a moment. so, i am glad that serhiy is with me, and we will be with him now to ask questions that concern not only me, but concern all of us. the week was not easy, then we lost maryinka, then we did not lose maryenka, in the kherson region putin said that he had already defeated everyone, ours are holding on, the kryns and so on, and avdiyivka, all this is worth discussing, but putin said yesterday he spoke before the population, i will always say the population, because it is not the people, the people themselves so... that the plans for the war have not changed in russia. bild german tabloid from its own sources, but we understand that these are russian sources, wrote that putin wants to continue war until the 26th year and capture kharkiv, dnipro and zaporizhzhia, but seems to be ready to give up odessa. how to evaluate these plans, it is such

a putin-style manilovshchyna, will build a bridge from manilovka to moscow, or are these some real, real prospects? well, of course, these are not real prospects, but we ... first of all , we understand that putin and the russian federation have not given up their plans to completely take over ukraine, and this is exactly what they are trying to broadcast to their population, as you say, and now this publication is really she whined in some way, well, in a certain way, it is in unison with putin's statements that we say everything is fine, let's put it this way, we will advance, the goals of our special operation there have not changed, everything is going well with us there, but in fact... well, these are the theses which have not changed, we actually understand that the goal of putin and the russian federation is the destruction of ukraine, that is why these divisions over the dnipro or other things are only, relatively speaking, such partial solutions, issues, we understand these aspirations of the russian federation,

and we must first of all defend ourselves and do conclusions from all these statements of putin, putin himself, by the way, repeatedly lied in the course of his direct line. when he also talked about how many troops are there in ukraine, and what are the losses of our equipment and so on, by the way, today on the defense express website we calculated these indicators that putin talks about regarding the number of the russian army, of course the numbers from the screen it's difficult to remember, but if you add up all the indicators that putin said, it's 360,000 for the future. in general, this amounts to as many as 1,128 thousand personnel composition, and at the same time putin says that there are 617 in ukraine, the question arises, where

did the other 511 thousand russian soldiers go, well , they were probably destroyed then, at the same time, we understand that the main intelligence management made corrections today. these theses of putin said that there are about 443 thousand russians in ukraine plus 3000 troops of the russian guard, these are the numbers that... are real, and what putin calls much more, 620, he said, 617 , that's right, that just so that, in fact, well, to intimidate additionally, here is our publication, where all these indicators are detailed, yes, and by the way, regarding losses, us intelligence has submitted data to congress and it says that since the beginning of the invasion , russia has lost 315 thousand killed or wounded. personnel, that is, in fact, why this figure is called, because it correlates very closely with the information

of the general staff regarding the losses of the russian federation, so we can see that the data of the general staff is quite close to reality, here by the way, now i will break off on just a second, because you are talking about putin, and there was still an interesting one a video shot somewhere on motzfilm, probably, it means that there are such white heroes, one with a beard, if not a hero, but that oleksandrevsky in a soviet film. i don't remember who has already played it, and he says, and he has such a fairy tale a little bit on the side , so everyone is standing so often, well , we're watching the video with the front, we can imagine how everyone there says, that you can hear the roar of the front even here, well, in moscow, they probably say that the victory is already visible, and putin is smacking his silicone lips there, so satisfied, that is, it shows the caricature of this situation, but i i wanted to say something, well, it's just not related to the topic at all, but to the topic of putin, in the usa, another reason appeared why trump can... not be allowed to participate in the elections, it turned out that in the last days of trump's presidency, from the white house

disappeared, the folder, by the way, 25 cm thick , it’s normal somewhere, with secret information about russia’s interference in the 2016 elections, since then the special services have been unsuccessfully trying to return it and find it, i can’t find it at all, i think that this is being played out a person who loves volodymyr putin very much, and by the way, why with the context of our conversation, because vladimir putin, he is more than convinced, as he said, that he will not stop, he will run out of help. very important and waiting, but here it is important to say, i want you to say it too, because maybe our viewers will present their arguments somewhere, it will be important to understand these arguments. putin says that ukraine does not produce any weapons now, they are given, but for some time they are given less, but i, for example, know that in ukraine bohdan, bohdan sau produces 6 units per month, plus we have such a wonderful development as a sniper rifle like it is called, the lord of aubrey, the lord of aubrey, correctly, as with such. a world record was set, so what are we making? well, actually, we make, from what

we can say, come on. well, we make anti-tank guided missiles , we make long-range missiles that sank the cruiser moscow, we make radar systems that are needed for our anti-aircraft defense, we actually now make semi-drones, but of course all this is not enough in general to provide all our . needs and here in any case we we emphasize help from our partners, this week there were many announcements, on the one hand, this is a package of american aid for 200 million dollars in anticipation of more funding from next year, and there were many messages from germany, in particular, the transfer of the third the patriot complex, a number of ammunitions from germany, so that in any case the european countries provide support for our armed forces... although we understand that there is now a certain feeling that there is such a certain pause, more weapons are needed,

more, let's say, unity among our european partners, in order to remove that component that putin is now counting on , first of all, that the west will get tired of the war in ukraine, but when putin was giving a press conference, there was a press conference of gentsek of nato, who said that, relatively speaking, if putin wins in ukraine, there is a real risk that his aggression will not end there. and he thus made a call to all nato countries to be more active, i think this is absolutely the right direction in order to ensure greater consolidation europe in opposition to the russian federation as a country that, in fact, in any case , will not stop in ukraine, if we do not stop it ourselves, and will try to use its aggressive actions against the baltic countries and other nato countries, indeed. putin , it can really be said that he did not say anything new, and this indicates that the opinion does not work collectively in the russian general staff,

the russian kremlin, because nothing new was proposed, and here is the old song of the main ones that we heard, well actually it's a re-sing of his hits in 2022, when he scared the whole world. let's go to the fronts now, the massive assaults of the russian federation on donetsk region, maryinka, novomykhaivka, the victory of nevelsk, will the enemy go to ugledarets, today there is again a threat that he... may go to kurakhov, although i read the experts, who say that the enemy will not break through to kurakhov, please. well, indeed, we are now talking about the hottest trend, although this week, i believe, was the most difficult. over a significant period of time because a significant number occurred each day combat units, the last days more than 100 every day, and the enemy is now just trying to use the advantage with his primarily manpower in many areas to put pressure on our defense, and now really the most difficult directions are maryanka-avdiivka, which

must perceive as such in one package bakhmud, kupyansk, these directions. where the enemy is trying to put pressure on our defenses, and if there is a certain stabilization around avdiyivka, although i think it is temporary, about marianka, now there is a lot reports that ukrainian troops currently control roughly 92 percent of this settlement, which is already completely destroyed, and tentatively speaking, there is a certain advance of the enemy in the northwestern part of maryanka, this is exactly what is above in... this the reservoir, which roughly speaking divides this settlement in half, and roughly speaking, now the enemy, after a certain advance in the northwest, is now trying to act in the south as well, in particular to move towards the settlement of pobeda, and there they try

just to expand the zone of pressure on our defense line, and just where... this victory is located, the settlement of novomykhaivka is even lower there, and this is actually an attempt by the enemy to expand the front line just in the direction of ugledaro, and our brigades are operating quite effectively there countering the enemy, today i saw a video just once again of mykhailivka where our 90-79 airborne assault brigade destroys. there are several enemy tanks, this is exactly this video, where just near novomykhaivka our paratroopers destroy a significant the number of armored vehicles, there are about 20 models in total, and tanks and bmps, if you look at this video, and this is exactly, well, the direction that our military is currently holding, and the enemy, i

think, will now try to act in the wrong the side of kurakhovoy from maryanka, but... all the same, in the direction of victory, in the direction of the coal miner, in order to, well, bypass the coal miner in this way, in order to create conditions for the safer functioning of this wave station, which is used, not used yet, but important for of the enemy as one of the elements of logistical support, so maryanka is really not such a difficult area now, it will be held by our troops, but we understand that under the pressure of the enemy, considering certain circumstances, it probably makes sense to switch to other defensive positions, and now there are battles for avdiyivka, here is the latest intensification, actually not for two months, but we know that in fact the fighting for avdiyivka has been going on since 2014,

it's just that now there is much more force in the large-scale war there, much more, and this koksokhim avdiivskyi... is always such a symbol struggle and closeness to the enemy even during the anti-terrorist operation, but now of course the enemy is angry, he needs avdiyivka until december 14 . the enemy and where are the key points of confrontation now concentrated? well , if we look at the map now, we can see that the dynamics over the last day or two there... has become somewhat less, because relatively speaking, the enemy's advance in those directions where the enemy wanted to achieve success first of all, this is precisely to ensure the advance from there from the steppe to the north, to close this encirclement, this scheme is absolutely not working, and we understand that within two months avdiivka has already reached such record-breaking

figures, because this is american intelligence in particular. i don't remember whether it was british now, i made an analysis that in these two months the russians lost more personnel under the avdiyivka than even in the first two months of the invasion of ukraine, in general now there enemy losses are about 13,000 personnel killed and wounded, this is not given by the general staff, this is precisely the data of british intelligence and more than 200 samples of various armored vehicles, that is, what... in fact, for about 11 km, which were captured around avdiivka, enemy losses amounted to 13 00 personnel, these are actually colossal losses, but we see that the horde... does not count on losses and continues to try to secure the encirclement of this settlement, but what has happened this week, they advanced a little to

the north of the steppe, expanding this advancing along the railway, the situation around promka, where they pushed there a week ago, it has not systematically changed there, and in fact, except that one more direction was added there. which concerns nevelskyi, it is a little to the west of avdiivka, where the enemy is trying to expand the zone of influence on our defense line as well, given the fact that avdiivka has been held for a long time, artillery and additional measures have been transferred there, we see that well the ukrainian command does not want to leave, let's say, this... section of the front, realizing that in this way it holds a significant grouping of the enemy's forces and inflicts significant losses on it, and in this area, as i will remind, there are somewhere about 40 thousand

enemy personnel, and the ratio there in terms of numbers was given that there is even one to five from the point of view of the fact that the enemy's five-man force is outnumbered by those units that are currently defending avdiivka, and bakhmut, the enemy is trying to recapture the positions he lost during the battle... well , we repelled the summer-autumn counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine some settlements, were able to advance to the south of bakhmut , in particular in the south, and the enemy is now trying , as far as i understand, to return what he lost, as far as he can, he is not succeeding, please, well, the situation near bakhmut remains difficult, because relatively speaking, there are two directions, this is precisely the north, where the enemy leveled this line of defense, starting from eh... ivanivsky khromovo and khromovo to bohdanivka, it became so more aligned, because he managed, relatively speaking, to beat part of those results that were

achieved in the ukrainian army, now due to the transfer of reserves to this area, there is just such a constant rotation that paratroopers exchange with units of the first corps, and such a certain constant rotation, which due to a significant number of personnel provides, relatively speaking, well provided advancing... to a certain distance deep into our territory, and it is just as difficult around klishchiivka, because there , despite the active work of artillery, our artillery, the enemy also uses a significant number of personnel, and today had conversation with his comrade, he says that in fact we have enough artillery, but the enemy has much more mortars, that is , they are trying to influence our defense line precisely because of... mortars and fpv drones, although with regard to artillery, why did the question arise , today there was an interview on the bbc with one of the officers of the 92nd brigade, who

is fighting there, and this officer said that, relatively speaking, if during the offensive there two months ago , we had a one -to-one ratio of artillery there in all areas , then now under makhmutov, the enemy seems to have five to one ammunition in terms of ammunition, although i repeat such information, well, my friend does not... he claims, although it is also related to artillery tasks in this area, well , in fact, we are again moving into this winter, when we have to endure the fact that that winter we stood in bakhmut, actually not near bakhmut, in bakhmut, now around bakhmut avdiyivka, marinka, zaporizhzhia region and also understood that now we are waiting for shells, we are waiting for help, and by the way, germany decided to give 67 ammunition, well, still a certain amount, maybe there is a lot that we don't know about. in any case, we understand that this winter will probably again be drawn on the veins of the ukrainian army, volunteers and all those people who join, well, first of all, the ukrainian army, of course. well, now

we are actually moving on to the fact that we are forming a new war strategy for the next year, these publications in the foreign press, which were about negotiations with the americans about what we should form or a defense strategy, or an offensive strategy, rather now we are talking about the fact that we are preparing an active defense strategy with a bet on the creation of fortifications, although this should have been rushed a little earlier. it is better late than never, and the reformation of the front lines, the creation of new brigades, they are being created even now, and the actual increase in the efficiency of the use of personnel, this applies to both commanders and infantrymen, and, relatively speaking, now the enemy is trying to to determine the tactics of hostilities, when for their cheapest resource we are forced to pay with the most expensive resource , personnel, and this is exactly the paradox from which we have to, well, get out, in order to, well, impose our tactics and strategy of military operations on the enemy. we literally have a minute, but i still, well, two questions, i chose one, because

i'm pointing my finger in the sky for missile strikes. strike, we don't know if they will be massed or not, well , they survived the rocket fire, thank god that it worked, and the left banker of the kherson region teplinsky can be removed from his post, he is the general who is responsible for the group dnipro, russian, the new positions of the armed forces of ukraine on the island of veliky potemkin and the battles near krynyk, if you can briefly describe the situation there, well, i will start with this line of the aggressor putin, where he mentioned krynyk six times, that is, he says, we are our own there the guys were taken deep into the territory so that, like... we only have sanitary losses, that is, this means that in the krynyk area, the situation is extremely difficult for our military, but it is even more difficult for the enemy, because due to the artillery in half buckets, we ensure the receipt of this bridgehead, first of all, we are tying down a significant amount of enemy forces, although during this time the enemy did transfer additional units, in general, if we look at the left bank of the kherson region and count the enemy personnel there, then there

are somewhere... 65,000 russian aggressors, despite the fact that these bridgeheads, which are held by our marines, well, i don’t think that we have more than a thousand soldiers there, i think between 600 there and 100 at the most, these are the indicators that can characterize the number of our marines and other military personnel, that is, in fact a certain group receives such a significant number of russian forces, well, we did not have time to discuss everything, but the most important key points were discussed, thank you very much. thank you, hopefully next week will be a little easier than this one because it's been a really tough week for our defense forces. well, i have a plot for your attention: poltava said goodbye to another defender. andriy kovalenko, junior lieutenant of the 116th terodefense brigade, returned to his hometown on a shield. our correspondent is anna

morozova. talked with the brothers the hero jesus is always with us, that's what andrii kovalenko's brothers said about the defendant jesus, both during his life and after his death. the junior lieutenant defended ukraine, as a rifle platoon commander, from the beginning of a full-scale invasion. andrii died on december 7 during an enemy assault in donetsk region. on this day, family friends and relatives came to see jesus into eternity. we still pray for the conquest of the soul of the departed servant of god andriy, thanks to people like him, we are still standing and defending this country, great respect to those like he was a hero, he died saving his brothers, the orcs got in, he was the first to take the fight on himself, andriy twice joined the defense of the homeland, the first time in the anti-terrorist operation as

part of the 110th separate brigade of general protection... of the headquarters of the armed forces. the second time after a full-scale invasion of the tro warrior and received the call sign jesus. at the very last shelling, i was not far from him, but not right next to him, but i know that he was doing everything possible, everything possible to get the boys out, to help the boys through force. under fire, almost half-surrounded, andrii fought fought as if he... stood with an army, he stood practically alone. shortly before february 24 , 2022, residents of poltava could see andrii's face in city lights as part of a campaign to popularize the city's ground defense. and then - service on the hottest destinations of donetsk region. well, he had his own crown phrase on character, that is, on character we go there.

buried on the alley of heroes near poltava. anna morozova, bohdan proskurov, from poltava for espresso tv channel. well, i want to say about this plot, at one time i was approached by the fighters of the 116th brigade and we, well, together with you our viewers collected money for...
