hour, see you later. good morning espresso viewers, we are starting the 661st day of our television marathon, we actually take over the baton after the news release, and now we will start our traditional morning roll call in the regions where we have ongoing hostilities, where parts of the territories may be occupied, where shelling occurs more often than anywhere else. in other places, i.e. these are the border territories, today we will visit zaporizhzhia, we will also visit sumy,

kharkiv oblast, and we will also have nataliya omenyuk, the head of the joint coordination center of the defense forces of the south, all this will happen today, well, let's start now we from such information that the drones of this attacked at night. as you know, kyiv, they were all shot down, attacked in whole waves, but luckily none of the kyivans were hurt, this is what the head of the kyiv city military administration, serhiy popko, said. that was the story. we can also tell you about the fact that, of course, everyone is discussing the story with yesterday, yes, alisayumni is already with us. ms. alisa prompts, good morning to you, good morning, congratulations, tell me, please,

what is the situation, how did zaporizhzhia sleep, how did the night pass? fortunately, the night passed in zaporozhye today calm, it was quiet here, there were no explosions, monitoring groups recorded that mopeds were moving at night, but somehow they were informed that they passed by zaporizhzhia, headed somewhere to the north. and here is some information about how the night happened in zaporizhzhia region, it is generally a little later, it will be closer to eight, but this is how the trends show recently, in general, the number of shelling in zaporizhzhia region has decreased, you know, earlier they recorded about 200 shellings of the zaporizhzhia region per day, but recently there have been even less than a hundred, but unfortunately, destruction and casualties are not uncommon, so we will follow and i hope that the night of the zaperiv region passed at least without

casualties, because we cannot hope that there were no shellings, unfortunately , and what is the situation in the temporarily occupied territories of the region, what is heard from melitopol from berdyansk? well, unfortunately, it is getting worse there, you know, the closer this date of the so-called elections, the closer the new year, the more it becomes, the pressure continues on... our people, they said that with on january 1, all those who did not receive russian passports now become foreigners, and therefore, in addition to such propaganda that people will be intimidated or simply kicked out of their homes, and there is such pressure, there are more military forces, as reported , they even brought more fesbshniks there, who are trying to find enemies, occupiers among the civilian population, so, unfortunately, the situation in our country remains difficult. people disappear, they go to basements, everything is as it was, it is very, very difficult to find there,

you probably also saw the map that was made public the german bill, which in particular talks about the plans of the russians to fight until the 26th year, including in the 26th year to go to the approaches to zaporizhzhia, in fact, to arrange such a situation, in which kherson is now. if russian troops were standing in the immediate vicinity of the city and could fire at it, well, this map does not look very nice, we know. there were many maps, they were true, they testified to the true intentions of the russians, however, they were not able to carry them out to the end, regardless of what you think about it, as a person who she was already forced to flee from the russians and the war once. of course, you want to hope for the best, but of course, when you saw this

news, you talked to the military, what do they think about it, how is the situation there... well, you know, and such predictions about what could happen, our the military , even those of zaporizhia, are there and in the public space, and they predicted in principle that this could happen, in particular , no one expected that russia would change its plans, and i heard the opinion that if it is not this winter some such success in counteroffensive, it is likely that zaporizhzhia... will suffer more from shelling, because in principle we are very close to the front and here is the artillery, which so far does not reach zaporizhzhia very well, what it can still reach the city, well , to be subject to greater ruin than it is now, but at the same time, of course, the military is optimistic , not so naturally as the authorities from the central

channels, but they say that in principle it will be very, very difficult for them to capture zaporizhzhia. well , let's hope for the best and believe in ours armed forces, but unfortunately, such optimism that can sometimes be seen among our representatives of the authorities, well, there is none, because we understand that the situation is difficult, and looking at the reports from the front, we see that, in principle, the russians are not making much progress now , there are no such changes on the front, well, but at the same time our armed forces... do not give up a single piece of land, but the fact that it somehow all froze in one point is there, and we will watch with the fact that will change the content, but the military says to expect something to change over time in winter, during cold weather, it is not necessary, because now it is very difficult at the front, the most important thing is to hold our positions now, this is what the military says, of course, you always want to

hear such explanations from the competent opinion of those who are directly involved. relation to the front , alisa, but the people, the people themselves in the zaporizhzhia region, in the occupied territories, now in melitopol, the occupation authorities have launched such listeners who walk the streets, listen to how people talk to each other, what they are talking about, whether there is some complaints about her current government sent from russia, there are also some people there who influence the behavior, so to speak. well, of course, those who, those people who express some kind of dissatisfaction, they are already being watched more closely, and they are watching what they are doing, but if suddenly there is an occupation of the entire zaporizhzhia region, how will it be perceived by people whose moods are such people who say, listen, well, maybe they would stop shooting, it would just be russia and they would

live well, unfortunately, you know, i want to say that everyone in zaporizhzhia is pro-ukrainian, that everyone... is waiting for the armed forces, but, unfortunately, we have to to state that such desires remained. here, you know, a lot of facts testify to this. for example, this week in zaporizhzhia , vandals destroyed memorial plaques to the fallen defenders, there was a house where they lived in one house, three defenders who died for ukraine, died for zaporizhia, already during a full-scale invasion, and now unknown people simply destroyed them, and you you know, unfortunately... these are not isolated cases, those who cooperate with the russians and those who are dissatisfied with the fact that it is happening, you, maybe they are waiting for russia there, but unfortunately, such people are still a minority, i think, there are traitors everywhere, because there was a lot of such russian influence on our heads, on our us, after all,

the pro-ukrainian population in zaporizhzhia more, and it was even earlier, if you remember, when... there was an occupation of donbas in zaporizhzhia , there was such an egg sunday campaign, when the separatists gathered, they tried to hold these people's microphones there, well, to create such a picture for of russian television, but it is zaporizhzhia, which is constantly everyone said that it was a pro-russian city there, but the townspeople put up such a worthy fightback, and in principle, i think that this became such a major powerful impetus to the fact that the zaporizhzhia region. was it then not possible to create some zpr there and show in the media that everyone here loves russia. now, after all , there are people who understand that russia is a joke. this evil is getting bigger, but the greedy ones remain, well , let's hope that our law enforcement officers, our sbu, will expose them. thank you, alisa,

let's hope too, alisa sasoeva, a journalist and deputy of the zaporizhzhya district council was in touch with us, we are now going for a short break, then we will return and continue, we will talk about what is happening in different parts of ukraine and what happened that night, stay with us. try flebodia 600. pink french pills for acute hemorrhoids. phlebodia 600. treat hemorrhoids without any side effects. events, events that are happening right now and affect our lives. a news feed, of course. informs about them, but it is not enough to know what is happening, it is necessary understand. antin borkovskii and invited experts soberly assess events, analyze

les sojchen. dear friends, we return to the airwaves and continue our roll call andriy saichuk. lesya vakulyuk, in this studio we work for you, today we work in two shifts, in two events, the first event will last until 10 am, and then we will return at 2 pm and continue, so

you will spend this day with us, and now we are joined by natalia gumenyuk, head of the joint coordination press center of the defense forces of southern ukraine and colonel, mrs. natalya, we congratulate you, glory to ukraine, i congratulate you, glory to the heroes, the army of the russian federation attacked the center... kherson was killed again last night man. what is the situation at night what in the morning in the southern region? yes , unfortunately, the enemy does not stop its attacks on the right bank, where it tries to put pressure on the local population with a further effect for itself expected to stop the actions of the defense forces, but our positions remain strong, we are fixed on the left bank and... we continue to repel thief assaults, they do try to attack from time to time, going into assaults, but in small units, and trying to... gauge

the strength of our fortifications, while setting up theirs, they realize that they will have to spend the winter there, and in fact they gravitate towards those lines of defense where they are more protected, where there are more reinforced concrete structures, where they are deeper in the rear, but our counter-battery fight is also aimed at making them suffer in their saws, that is, they do not have the opportunity to raise reserves . were not able to continue shelling, we continue to destroy their warehouses with ammunition, despite the fact that our work is extremely complicated, the enemy is trying to organize the so-called evacuation of the local population in order to settle in buildings and private homes of the civilian population, sometimes not even evicting people, but simply imposing their presence on them, they thus try

to save. my life, i also ask panitali, you must have seen these maps that biel published with reference to intelligence sources that the russians are going to fight until the 26th and reach the dnieper line, eventually, in particular, coming close to the dnieper and zaporozhye, this way, obviously turning them into what is happening now in kherson, are there any plans? er, i don't know if they are shocking or weird or do you think they look believable? in my deep conviction, they are completely implausible, they are a classic of hybrid war, when an opinion is imposed through the information space and intimidation takes place, including the local population, attempts to destabilize the internal situation in the country,

we experienced all these moments in... when it came to the deoccupation of the right bank, the enemy's tactics have not changed at all, they are trying to throw in, including using the western media, the western press. is it does not mean that the russians do not intend to fight in such a case until the 26th year and advance in these directions, having an intention and realizing it are very different things, we already remember. intention to go to kyiv in three days , so in principle, then they began to rehearse various gestures, sometimes of good will, sometimes not very well, sometimes difficult decisions to demonstrate, and if you listen carefully to the speech, for example , even a dictator, what is he there, what is he like was proud, the appearance of wells, such and such a small village in his mind, well, it is powerful actually, because if... he himself

positions himself as a great leader, and he is worried about a small village, this is already a lot of eloquence in this. ms. natalya, what is happening in crimea, there were some explosions the day before, what flew there, did they manage to shoot down everything, or maybe they missed something? in the crimea , the cotton season is being extended, despite the fact that the supposed weather... conditions are no longer conducive to flowering, but nevertheless it is possible to bloom in different ways. we continue combat work and what i said about the destruction of the enemy's potential. crimea is a big hub of russian of russian reserves, of the russian army, where they are trying to make use of reserves of equipment, human resources and weapons and

ammunition, therefore... flourish, flourish there, we continue what we planned, but not everything that we can report, therefore what is this, such small parts, details, a lot of work, we have to wait until we assemble the whole structure, and what is their air defense now, how well does it cope with our cotton, in the crimea they say air defense of the colander type. because many holes we worked there and they have to move this strainer all the time in different directions, they are constantly maneuvering, not only because they are trying to find a position from which they can defend better, but also a position in which they can preserve what
