like, they are very expensive actually, like, and to some extent they are not even as practical as these. ivan makes excavations according to his own design, only at first. full-scale invasion, he made more than 2,000 of these optical devices. the pereskop is made of wires of the type, well, ventilation ducts, mirrors, oxidized foam, hot-melt glue, it is all glued with it, the inside is painted with paint, well, the balloon is simply inflated with black matte and that's all. idea to do periscopes, lviv knight andrii, the founder of the charity fund, suggested. the volunteer buys materials and solves logistical issues. according to the cost of the materials , it is a little more here for 600 hryvnias , but to buy new ones, not only is the problem in money, because it is roughly

$55, chinese such devices are sold, but also the issue that they are always in short supply is not there is always an opportunity to buy one or the other. pereskopi, so we went the way of making them. andriy selyuk says he received confirmation about the three survivors life, thanks to their excavations, because the drive helps to observe the situation around the positions without risk. these blinds are there so that excess light does not enter, you know? can you see the bomi's hand now? so. yes, now get your periscope and see where my hand is. in a completely different place. volunteers are constantly improving optical devices, on request. our soldiers, so a rangefinder grid was added to the scope, which allows you to adjust the artillery and determine at what distance the enemy infantry is. we were looking for models, we were looking for how to do it, no, not by ourselves physics, physics is clear, there are two mirrors that stand at 45°, but we were looking for a way

to simplify as much as possible, reduce, er, the cost for us to understand, we need a lot of them, and we just found an air duct. which the body gives, then they started looking for which mirrors, how best to mount them, the cost of the optical device is only uah 620, for a donation of this amount, volunteers send a name change to the military, also benefactors hand over home-made electronic warfare devices, picatinny bars and scout circles to the front free of charge, catherine oleinyk, volodymyr studenny, espresso tv channel. in lviv. museums of religion organized a charity auction, where they raffled off paintings of military personnel. for almost two months, the exhibition, when we are the only ones, was active here. it presented 58 works created by military personnel during art therapy. now they were raffled off, and the 3,400 hryvnias that were collected

a few hours in our company, join us on air, join us with your questions , join our conversations with our guests, i want you first, you know what to thank, thank you for today, for this morning, because you have donated 40,000 this morning uah, yes. this is only for this morning, yesterday you and i collected 36 00 uah for the whole day and only for this morning, for today's two or three hours, 40 00 uah were added to ether. i will remind you that we are collecting for the 18th dnipropetrovsk of a separate brigade of the territorial defense forces of the armed forces of ukraine, we are assembling powerful portable velvstram battery stations with solar panels, this is how they look, as you can see on your screens now. the card number is 5375 412 08 37 20 65 and you also see

a qr code that you can scan without writing down the card number, it's easier to go for the payment system and by pressing just a few buttons to transfer as much as you don't mind, these powerful stations can in field conditions to replace generators, our military can... recharge with help these stations have their own military equipment that destroys moskal, so please join us, we need to collect 1,220,000, and you and i have already collected 803,929 uah as of now, so, as you can see, we are confidently moving towards the goal, as of monday it was only 630 00 , only half of the amount, already as of... on saturday we got to most of the amount and even passed the mark of 800 thousand uah,

if we collect another 17 for today, then we will have 820 000 uah, and we will be short only about 400, uah, about 400, uah. expensive friends, so please join us, we will be grateful to you for every hryvnia, it doesn't matter what the size of this donation will be, whether you have already joined... i see that there are already 805.329 hryvnias, so literally from a few minutes, while i announced this collection, almost uah 200 has already been added. thank you for that, meanwhile , today we will also talk about all kinds of interesting predictions about what will happen next year, there are very different predictions from cnn, which believe that if it does not stop, if the aid of the united states in particular stops, then ukraine will not last, unless what to summer and then lose the war. you know that bilt published a map where the russians are going to fight for another three years, that they will lose another 300,000

of their soldiers, but if it turns out they will capture kharkiv and it is possible to reach the dnieper line from the south of the country, that is, to come close to zaporizhzhia and the dnieper. well, for example, dievelt publishes the opinion of nicolange, a german politician who worked. appears to be the deputy minister of defense in the previous previous government, and nico llange, for example, believes that things are not so bad for ukraine, he refers to data from oryx, an independent researchers who believe that ukraine for all its counteroffensive, which, although it was not successful, nevertheless did not suffer any great losses, did not suffer great losses, and in particular 95% of all western equipment that was supplied for counternato. of the offensive remain undamaged or repaired, so in fact the offensive potential of ukraine

remains almost at the same level as it was at the beginning of the summer, moreover , according to nikolange, a lot of help is only now beginning to arrive that was promised to us during this offensive, and therefore it is possible exactly next summer, ukraine will receive what the commander, general zaluzhnyi, asked for at the very beginning, in particular, another 170 leopards should arrive, only 30 so far, yes, and they also hope that it will be possible to give access to attack helicopters of the apache type, as well as f-16 and the f-18. planes that can establish the actual, or at least stop the panic situation of the russian tanks from the air, there is also such a forecast, well, i was just talking about this map, of course about the fact that the war can last another three years, and the russians hope , and here, for example, bilt made another

forecast, by the way, this is their military correspondent ryobky, who is in ukraine, and... zaluzhnyi has a new plan, and it is no longer the reconquest of parts of ukrainian territories, but simply, he said, consists of three words: tyot toton , toton, that is, kill, kill and kill again, in a word, as if the real plan of the zaluzhny is to simply grind these 3,000 russians in record time, so that they are in... already after that it is clear , that this will soon be the end, well, they are there are all kinds of predictions, which of them are true, what to expect in the next year, we will talk about it today. serhiy tsyhotskyi, an officer of the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade named after yakov handziuk, joins us from the avdiiv direction. mr. serhiy, does our military have time to follow these

forecasts, which the foreign press and foreign experts voice against each other. of course, we light a fire, brew coffee, drink tea, and in the meantime we discuss these events that are happening in the world, and i will say that very actively, there is no i have probably not seen such fighters in the last year, who would not be interested in what is happening in the world, what events, how, what kind of help. what is happening there in russia , of course, in russia, what do you think, in fact, do you agree with the fact that most of the possible ukrainian potential was not used during this counteroffensive of ours, and this is the potential that may still be revealed in the next year, or vice versa, after all

, it is better for us to choose a more conservative behavior in the next year, which will be aimed at saving himself. in front of the soldiers, not the territory of the reconquest, since we all understand that our mobilization reserve is not inexhaustible, some estimate it, for example, less than 2 million people, 2 million people is also a sufficient number, if we really take it that way, here you rightly said that the command still assumes the preservation of life in the first place, because at the front there are these... well, let's say, the most active patriots of ukraine, the most active, the most healthy patriots of ukraine, i mean physically , those which can really advocate and to revive ukraine after the war, so my prediction is that the 24th year will really be the year of victory, our victory, this, this

is my personal prediction, i do not refer to anything, i say that no one... do not spoil it in any way , my prediction is that in 204 we will win, that for this, there will be borders, what still needs to be done in order for your prediction to become a reality, well, as much as possible , still focus the attention of the entire society, of all layers of the population, on help armed forces of ukraine, on help in... possible means that can be done so that fighters do not stand there and ask for certain things to repair some cars, to buy drones and so on, all this can be done, well, everyone saw this case, when a deputy blew up there of the local council, grenades, well, you understand,

this is all abnormal, and when we hear certain things about people going to rallies there about what... that they are spending money to repair some building or to replace some benches on the streets, well, it absolutely does not fit under healthy fool, how is it, gather for a session, gather at night, sit there 24/7 , accept changes to your budget, accept it all, it will all be agreed instantly, it will not go anywhere else, mr. sergey, it is absolutely logical i agree with you, on the other hand, it is necessary to understand that city budgets. perhaps they really should be completely given to some general budget so that the state disposes of it, and on the other hand we see that the state itself, well, for example, we do not raise prices for the population, we we will subsidize them from the same money. even all the cities, which, for example, now make up from 20 to 30, well , big cities now give 15, 16, 20% of their budgets to the army, but all

together only 10 billion, we have 400 billion , only subsidies go for gas for population , well, maybe we should also understand that maybe we can’t subsidize everyone for gas now, well, not everyone, someone has, i don’t know, 400 m, but now the declarations have opened, there is how much 700 m , tatarov’s wife has an apartment, 700 m, what is that ? did not walk with an outstretched hand, that's it the military do not walk with an outstretched hand, but they ask you to join their collection, mr. serhiy asks you to collect for the mafia

for the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade named after yakov gendzyuk, whose officer is the card number 5375, 4112 1268 2822, this is a different collection than the one that we... the military approached us and we help them, we also need to collect uah 1,200,000 and so far there are more than 80,000 in the account, dear friends, i understand that there are so many different fees, choose your own taste and discretion whether for mr. serhiy and districts or a little bit here and a little bit there so that this and that soldier still gets it. in, so to speak, one and the same budget, the budget of victory, the budget of victory over the enemy, so join in, please, it is already with us, mr. serhiy, mr. serhiy, the words st. nicholas somehow interrupted

, what was your next thought, i i want to tell you about what, so we congratulated the families of the victims, we visited the children, i restrained myself, i restrained myself very much, some. which, seeing when we arrived, they, well, shed tears, and the main, main mass held, they only they said one thing: do it like this, we are ready to give everything, you will not return our men , but we are ready to give everything we have, just so that you guys win, you understand what the words mean, that is, there were no complaints, there was nothing that you didn't save there, everyone understands why this... it happened, that this is such a situation, well , that's why i say, they, they lost exactly one wife, she had five children, the man

could master the language, well, he could not go to serve, but he was so active in life and went, and looking at these children, one and a half years and senior 12, well, you understand what it was, how to survive it all, that's why we have someone to fight for, we are glad for what, and those who, regarding the budgets that... are adopted there, must understand that a rocket will fly and there will be no benches , no cobblestones, uh, this occupier's boot steps , there will be nothing in the house, not in the washing machine, not in the toilet of the house or in the apartment, mr. serhiy, and finally, briefly tell us what the situation is in avdiivka, what, is the enemy succeeding further to advance, that means, so far, two such, let's say, not very active days, intensive... decreased, because yesterday the weather did not allow it at all, well, it was very, very unflyable, let’s say, today, more

artillery fire and a very large number of reconnaissance vehicles, well , apparently they are adjusting the situation there again, watching our positions closely and so on, but the defense forces, our units, units of the brigade absolutely keep the situation under control of the position. all ours are in our hands, well, thank you very much, mr. serhiy, at least uah 100 was added to your account, i am i did and i hope that my example was also followed by other viewers of ours, and i really hope that we have pushed yours a little bit, your collection for the mavics necessary for your unit, thank you, first of all, from this heart for the fact that you do, we are going for a short break now, then we will come back and analyze what is happening at the front and what is being said in the foreign media, about the war, the russian-ukrainian war. stay with us. attention, an incredible novelty
