of the state, perhaps the plan was for kyivstar subscribers to overwhelm other networks with their influx, i think that if the accident had lasted for 3-4 days, how could it be, that is, there would have been a complete blackout in the kyivstar network, most likely they would have and two other networks, because if all these new sim cards started to be actively used, i doubt that vodafone lifecell would be able to provide, so it is a story that the state on the one hand managed to react by banning roaming. and on the other hand , she overslept the moment when it was necessary to suspend or give command to suspend the sale of new sim cards. so what should be done to prevent this from happening again? oleksandr alshanskyi says that anyone can be attacked, and such attacks are part of modern warfare, and therefore every company should establish a special storage of its data, which no one will be able to access without the internet. you can put it there, but take it from here or somehow modify it? or

do something with it, you can't without being physically there, meaning it doesn't have remote control, it can have approx. this is what it looks like, that is, literally a storage room, a closed room, or even a basement with such racks, on which important information for the company is stored on physical media, it can be any, even primitive methods, such as cds and dvds, or such i will accumulate hard. and most importantly, there is no online access here, that is, no hacker can hack anything here, you have to come here physically, walk past the security with your feet, and only then you can get direct access to the information. one more year which must be learned - to abandon chinese equipment, which is still used by ukrainian operators, because it is cheap, because at the same time , spy programs can be sewn into the equipment, which has been stated more than once in the usa. all

mobile communication networks in ukraine have chinese equipment from huawei, zti, and perhaps some others. this is a bad story. this has been talked about for quite some time in the united states, our main strategic partner. this equipment is generally prohibited. and it is better for ukrainians to have two different sevens just in case operators, as was popular 10-15 years ago. or even a spare old push-button phone like mine. which holds a charge for a long time unlike a smartphone and may be needed during power outages. and most importantly, in case of force majeure, do not panic, but use free wi-fi in a cafe or shopping center. it is quite obvious that the aggressor will continue to try to inflict maximum damage on the ukrainian rear, without being able to make any serious progress at the front. therefore, such cyber attacks may become more frequent, and to you need to be ready, don't panic and...

always have some backup options. serhiy kostych, facts of the week ictv single news. donald trump leads joe biden by 4% in seven states. american sociologists are gradually probing the mood of the voters, and the results of this week alarmed the political olympus, especially in europe, for a reason. not only because trump wants to end the war in... the country, well, actually on russia's terms. he threatens to withdraw the usa from the nato bloc. he threw such ideas during his presidency, and for european countries - this terribly dangerous story. after all, in recent decades, the eu economy was aimed at the development of technologies, medicine, education, transport, comfortable life of people, but not at war. russian aggression, of course , made everyone angry, but it takes years to rearm, strengthen the armies, invented

by american politicians, this week congress prohibited any president from withdrawing the united states from nato without the approval of the senate or the house of representatives, well, that's a kind of fuse , and what is interesting, supported him and democrats and republicans, there is such unity in the issue of aid to ukraine, but here, unfortunately, there is still a dead end. this week , president zelensky during during his visit to the usa , he personally convinced senators and congressmen, well, he convinced as best he could , he explained that the lack of weapons could lead to a guerrilla war with the russian occupiers, a personal meeting with the president of the usa was no less active, joe biden once again confirmed that he is on our side , but as cnn noted, he carefully shifted his rhetoric away from support ukraine, as much as it will be needed, as much

as we can, experts are convinced, help will definitely come, because the americans understand all the risks, but when and to what extent, and how will it affect? on our front. all the details were collected by ala chish. emergency visit to washington. will the issue of military aid to ukraine be resolved? the congressmen announced a time-out. this is just such a last step, the last, last effort on their part to press. do we have a plan b? they pushed joseph biden into the fray. how the election campaign in the usa will affect the further assistance. kyiv, this is one of the key priorities, but nevertheless, not clearly number one, and in the end, the states will support ukraine as much as necessary or as much as they can. on monday , president zelensky will fly to washington for an unannounced visit, for the third time in the past year.

this time against the background of the crisis situation with the blocking of aid to ukraine in the american congress. why matter. found ourselves in such a dead end, and what are the chances of restoring the help we need already this year, we are looking for answers in key statements, as well as in what remains behind the scenes. the ukrainian president meets with senators, the speaker of the house of representatives and other high-ranking officials. the meetings are closed, according to information from the washington post. zelenskyi talks in detail about the state of affairs at the front, about the desperate struggle of ukrainian defenders, as well as the threat of losing positions and the risks of a guerrilla war, if ukraine is left without the promised help of allies. american legislators listen carefully, but

the voices of their own political interests for them louder elections next year are not only presidential, but also congressional. every deputy, every deputy in our case is there. whether the senator is thinking about himself, he is not thinking about ukraine in the first place, but about his re-election. however, persistent attempts to reach out were still made. the main meeting on capitol hill was with joe biden. according to our experts, it was of strategic importance. congratulations, mr. president, on your return to the oval office. we are happy to be on your side and we remain on… on your side, we are now at a turning point in history. i would like to thank america and all our partners for their support. the ukrainian president raises the issue of cooperation with american defense companies in the production of weapons, as well as the subject

of confiscation of frozen assets of russian terrorists. but the main thing is personal contact. biden received information from the ukrainian side firsthand, this is important. later, the presidents give. joint press conference in the white house. ukraine can undermine russian dictatorial regimes, thus enabling our children and other countries not to shed their blood, defending themselves against russian aggression in the future. we have shown that our courage and partnership are stronger than any hostile actions of russia. it is here that two key phrases of the american leader appear. the first is ambiguous. biden says the us will support ukraine as much as it can. at the same time, as before, we heard as much as was necessary. it worries me. it's not a fact that he said it completely consciously, and that's a change some kind of strategy, but we understand that

the administration still has limited options, they are dependent on the republicans in the congress, they are not 100% unable. when asked what the us strategy is to protect ukraine or help it win, biden answers without hesitation. we want ukraine to win the war. as i said earlier, the victory means that ukraine is a sovereign, independent state that can defend itself against aggression today and is able to deter further aggression. but this requires at least the promise of the states help, the same as blocked. in october , the biden administration asked the parliament for $106 billion for ukraine, israel and

indo-pacific partners. 61.4 billion were supposed to go to ukrainian needs, in particular , the supply of additional weapons and military equipment, strengthening of air defense. as well as direct budget support, it's 11.7 billion dollars, it's a large amount, but it's less than last year, last year it was 13.4, but the issue of... stopped because of the mexican border. trumpist republicans decided to bargain his trump card and to include in aid packages to allies provisions to protect the us border with mexico from the flow of illegals. and such changes differ from the policy of the democrats. the situation is such that this group of republicans really wants to put pressure on biden. and they use this issue of... aid as such, they consider it as a zero-sum game, unfortunately,

this is not typical for american politics, there prevails such an art of compromise, agreements. biden made a pass to the democrats in congress, those picked up, passed the ball to the left flank and handed it to the republicans. it seemed that a decisive goal for ukraine was about to happen, but the congressmen announced a timeout and gathered for

the christmas vacation. but they soon changed their minds. the senate adjourned to consider the decision on aid, which is important for us. the senate will convene in a special meeting on monday and will apparently try to work out some sort of compromise package deal based on the white house being willing to make concessions on migration to help ukraine. in particular, strengthen checks on migrants seeking asylum in states. ideally, we should have senators vote on this before christmas. and then the bill will go to the lower house, which plans to meet after the new one. but could there be a christmas miracle if the senate comes to some kind of deal with

the internal border requirements in mind, lawmakers from the house of representatives can interrupt the holidays? what i'm hearing from washington is 50/50, not in the sense they will vote, they won't vote, in the sense they will vote before is-2, they will vote after is2, for us, the first option would certainly be cool, and the second is not a disaster either, but is it? b in case of a pessimistic scenario. the european union may cover part of the unreceived money if eu leaders can overcome orban's blockade in january. another option is phased financing by the same united states, in small portions from various sources, but the main risk is untimely financing of hot front problems. there is also a third option, according to valery chaly, the most interesting.

joseph biden may return to his idea, which he so publicly announced on may 9 of last year, about using lendlease as a tool. this is one of the options for how the white house can be independent of congress. the american press already calls the internal political strife of the congress the biggest foreign policy failure of the united states. but experts agree that the crisis will be overcome, because it is too dangerous for the states themselves. the promised help will be provided, it is only a matter of time, there is no need to panic, the problems are real, seriously, the problems are serious now, but ukraine has many friends in america, in the administration, even among the republicans, you have to think that the whole party is against, against this project, just such a small, very vocal minority, the closer to the presidential elections in the usa, the louder these disputes are, but in the end, the strategy of... our main ally has not changed, and it is aimed at preventing

ukraine from losing at least. the stakes are too high. if you don't stop russia now, it will cost many times more tomorrow. alla chizh, facts of the week. ictv, single news. the war will continue because putin wants it that way. this is the main summary direct line of the president of russia, which he conducted. this week, for the first time since the start of the full-scale invasion, almost 4.5 hours felt like a presentation by presidential candidate vladimir putin. actually, during this big press conference he had. to announce his intention to run, but unexpectedly did so a week earlier, during a military awards ceremony in the kremlin, and this move is also a clear message of what program he is going into a fifth term with: war. putin confidently declared that russia will fight until it demilitarizes and denazifies us. that's it an answer to those voices in the west and in ukraine

who stammer about a peace treaty. the president of russia does not need peace, and even the insane losses of the russians do not deter him... by the way, by chance or not, but putin shared these statistics with everyone who knows how and, most importantly, wants to count. the russian dictator said that 617,000 russians are currently fighting at the front, although ukrainian intelligence reports a much smaller number - 473,000. at the same time, putin said that 244,000 russians were mobilized for the war, another 486 signed up as volunteers, and we will add here are 250,000, this is the group that attacked us on february 24, together there are almost a million, or rather 939,000, if we exclude those who were conscripted into the reserve. and now if we subtract from this number 617,000, who, according to putin , are now at the front, it turns out that

322 occupiers have disappeared somewhere, and if we take the data... from our intelligence, the number of losses of the russian army is even higher, by almost 150,000, and this is without taking into account convicts and private armies. to compete with putin in the elections, this should be a real gift, because the dictator himself, and also kremlin propaganda they constantly say, there is no father, so the problem is that all competitors will be silent in a rag. who are they, whom the kremlin has appointed as sparring partners for the aging tsar, and why this circus, if the winner? still famous, kostyantyn pavlov understood. elections without a choice, why did putin's double be shown at the press conference. what the russian voter is actually being prepared for, it will be a pishak who will be led. which of the future candidates for the presidency of russia can be imprisoned. and who

, on the other hand, should be released from prison? bet on him? occupied crimea, who are begging putin for money to repair the dilapidated gymnasium, when the walls have been covered for a long time, i wish he didn't look like a candidate who, let 's say, will make it to the next election cycle. like a windowed world with the illusion of democracy,

a big screen with ss words from russians, which the propaganda machine does not have time to censor. putin, of course, does not pay attention to these questions, he answers blanks. i read here when microfinance organizations will be liquidated. about a third of the broadcast is dedicated to the war against ukraine, and more a third of the economic problems that putin is courageously overcoming, but on his so-called direct line, at the same time as the annual press conference, not a single question about the presidential elections, although it is clear that the theses correlate with reality, with creativity are very outdated, they are absolutely no longer problems, with new some visions of the problem. but the elections are about to start,

a dozen candidates have already announced their ambitions to occupy the main seat of the kremlin, who are they, what are their chances, navi? that the dictator has an army of retired competitors, and why putin may not win the presidential race. everyone who is going to go to the russian presidential elections can be divided into three camps: putin and his henchmen, conditional liberals and the terrorist girkin. let's start with liberals, those who are for everything good and against everything bad. katryna dontsova, journalist, 40 years old. goes like a self-nominator. when asked whether she is against the war, she answers cautiously. let's not formulate, i'm for peace, i don't want to speak against something. i always say that i am in favor. another candidate. liberal borys nadezhdin, 60 years old, ex-deputy of the state duma. nadezhdin became famous in ukraine after statements on a russian talk show that the kremlin will not be able to defeat ukraine with the resources it

has. less than a year has passed, and the liberal is no longer so candid in answering questions. you also ask whether i will return crimea to ukraine. great question, simple as hell. nadezhdin calls not to boycott the elections, but to vote against putin, as well as... , however, a very unlikely candidate, oleksiy navalny, 47 years old. the kremlin's number one prisoner cannot run for office, because he served 19 years in a case for extremism. and two weeks ago, navalny and they were generally taken out of the colony, where it is unknown. but let's go further. the dark horse is hryhoriy yavllinskyi, he is 71 years old. three weeks ago, either an opposition liberal or a liberal oppositionist met with putin. like all liberals, yavlinsky is not against an aggressive war against ukraine, but for a ceasefire. yavllinsky is exactly the pseudo-opposition project that

the kremlin is betting on. perhaps putin wants to throw vilni yavlinsky instead of katorzhnyk navalny to the small russian opposition. and now we move on to the heavy ultra-patriotic one artillery, dirkin strilkov. ex-colonel the fsb, which led the capture of sloviansk in the 14th year. the court in gaza sentenced him to life imprisonment for the downed malaysian boeing mh-17. after prigozhin's rebellion, girkin was put in a pre-trial detention center for criticizing putin and the military command. vladimir vladimirovich, just shut up, it's better to be silent. girkin announced his intentions to take putin's seat just from the camera, but whether he will be released from jail before the elections is a big question. he seems to be a patriot and against putin. that is, it turns out that not all patriots are for putin. need figure out then which patriots are against putin. perhaps the kremlin is marinating girkin strilkov in butsygarn to release him before the elections

and satisfy the russian z-patriots who are angry about the failures on the ukrainian front. and that's the end of putin's posipacts: leonid slutsky, quite young for putin's panopticon, he's 56. head of the liberal democratic party blitz. to cast a shadow over ex-leader volodymyr zhirynovskyi, regarding sludskyi's ratings, they say that even a dead zhirynovskyi would have scored more. with you says artificial intelligence. the permanent leader of the russian communists, gennady zyuganov, is almost 80. putin's political technologists really like this age, because against his background, even a botoxed dictator looks lifeless. and what's more, he doesn't attract an extra electorate. one of the kremlin's tactics will be to prevent candidates under the age of 50 from running in the elections. that is, if everyone around is old, well, then it seems that putin's old age,

putin's age is no longer noticeable. in the eyes, you understand? but with what program will putin go to the russians? the times of flying with a crane and driving with bare torso on a horse have already passed. putin has not yet undermined his own citizens, as was the case in buynaksk, moscow and volgodonsk. arrange a small one. a victorious war, as it was in chechnya or crimea, a dictator cannot. yesterday i leaned on bahmud, yesterday i leaned, today i leaned on the widow. that is why kremlin political technologists decided not to escalate the issue of war, to make putin's direct line as a celebration of his nomination to the presidency, but not all towers of the kremlin agreed with this. the security forces believe that when they have already started to fight, then it is necessary to fight with mobilization of all forces, all resources. so it is not for nothing that another terrorist, artem zhoga, one of the leaders of the self-proclaimed dpr, came a week before... the direct line to nominate the number one terrorist to the presidency. it is no coincidence

that everyone in russia jokes that putin came forward because of the heat. but who will go to the presidential elections in march next year. this will be one of putin's four doppelgangers, dmytro popov, a candidate of psychological sciences, is confident. these are not actors, these are people just the closest outward appearance. this summer, russian patriarch kirill called putin vladimir vasylovich since then, the nickname vasylichi has been attached to the doppelgangers. a professional immediately sees how the real putin differs from the culprits - says physiognomist popov. after all, you cannot hide the size of the skull and the distance on the face with botox and plastic surgery. i want to ask, is it true that you have many doppelgangers? yes, this is my first doppelgänger, by the way. but there are also certain psychological hints. the original putin meets with people after several days of quarantine, instead of being hugged by residents of derbent

and does not stand. next to the leaders of the occupation authorities of mariupol, the last meeting in minsk , well, it’s all nonsense, yes, it’s snowing there, putin gets out of the car, and goes to the building alone, and lukashenko is far away from the cold, there he is waiting, well, when that happened, so in fact it doesn't matter which of the vasylichs will run, because the dna of the candidates is not checked in the center, it will be the guy who will be managed, i... see that now the quartet of clone doubles is managed by the fsb, but do they recognize the results of the presidential elections in russia at all? foreign countries, after all the country's intelligence agencies know the faces of all the vasylichs very well, and by holding elections in the occupied territories, the dictator puts a cross on the recognition of plebiscite. the problem of elections in russia is the complete absence of opposition in the existing political field. so, what a map from this

pre-election campaign. the log cannot be removed, it is still covered. konstantin pavlo, facts of the week, the only news. you will find more interesting things on our youtube channel. facts of the week, subscribe. we will meet you there in a week, in the only news marathon, next sunday watch tsn week. well, just now our colleagues from the public sector are continuing the broadcast. let's meet. glory to ukraine. we sum up monday's informational summaries. in the studio of olena frolyak. i welcome you, as always,

on monday in the marathon, the big final. issue, today the facts have prepared all the most important things from the front and rear. the latest general staff reports on the situation in the hot areas of the front and direct inclusion from the front line. the lack of shells provoked the dependence of the front on drones, which radically change the nature of war. the need for them is enormous. volunteers do not have time to do order, the ukrainians are constantly subsidizing, drones are collected by the hundreds, trained amateurs. the state connects slowly. motivated military in the midst of war is running out, the mobilization resource should be improved by legislative initiatives and the recruiting recruitment system. however, the military reminds you that the ukrainian tsk came to your gym today, and the russian ones may come tomorrow. how does the hungarian community of transcarpathia live, how does it experience the war, does it perceive orban's position, does it feel at least some pressure from ukraine? see the report from the frontline towns

region 15 military personnel have been awarded the highest title of heroes of ukraine thanks to petitions, there are 200 of them on the president's website, hundreds have received the necessary number of votes for consideration, but such a large number threatens to nullify the unique award. rely only on yourself and build and become strong inside, ukraine is on the threshold of a difficult year, elections in the united states and russia, protests on the border with poland and slovakia, there will be openly hostile politics. pest: reduction of western aid, only a strong ukraine will survive in the world of prices. so, the war continues, and so does the enemy continues to strike the positions of the armed forces of ukraine and the rear cities of ukraine. during the day , the russian army carried out one missile and six air strikes. more than 30 times our territories were shelled with artillery. on the front line, according to the latest summary of the general staff, a little less than a hundred combats took place. in the kharkiv region, the russians

are trying. get to kupyansk, advance on senkivka, repulse four attacks of the occupiers. in the liman direction , there were dozens of such attempts by the enemy to advance. it remains traditionally tense the situation around bakhmut, 17 attacks were repelled here. avdiivka is still a desirable enemy target. he is still trying to surround the city. at least 15 settlements came under artillery and mortar fire in this direction . in zaporozhye, the defense forces repelled 13 attacks on khir. kherson oblast under russian fire chornobayivka and infrastructure facilities of kherson itself. however, the defense is strong, despite everything, our soldiers fight off assault after assault. the defense forces of ukraine are reducing some military operations at the front due to a lack of ammunition and reduction in the amount of western aid, brigadier general oleksandr tarnav, the commander of the tavria operational-strategic group of troops, admitted this in a comment to reuters today.
