this is also done by the lviv ethno-workshop, where christmas tree decorations are made. my colleague will tell you more about it. this is humpback. here she is, a rough horse, a bull, she just looks very christmassy, ​​so she must be popular, and of course, this yellow and blue stork, these are three three top balls. authentic christmas ornaments with ukrainian character. the history of grono's lviv workshop began already after the full-scale invasion of russia, with a glass top in the shape of a trident. the author's development became. a symbol of the unity of ukrainians all over the world. when the idea of ​​a cluster appeared - it is something that unites the elements in itself, i.e. bunches of grapes, bunches of viburnum, our brand is about uniting the family around something, around a christmas tree, around a festive table.

yuliana and pavlo decided not to stop there and set out to completely ukrainianize the christmas tree, and at the same time join the popularization of our cultural heritage and began to make... pearl glass balls, hand-painted based on legendary paintings. the grono workshop officially cooperates with the maria prymachenko family foundation. together, they released a collection of christmas ornaments from reproduced works of the artist. we already have several series of link jewelry in our assortment. last year there was one series by maria primochenko, this year another. we also have two series based on casimir's paintings. and we have a series of lightning bolts in collaboration with the lviv tattoo artist sashko lutsyshin. the same with kazimir malevich. perhaps nastya did not physically destroy his art, but metaphorically they took it from us for a very long time, appropriating it for themselves. the russians

said he was theirs. these christmas ornaments have spread to all continents of the world. their ordered by both ukrainians and foreign fans. of art, academician vernadsky's polar station in the antarctic is no exception. ukrainians abroad often order a top in the form of a trident. foreigners are more interested in christmas decorations, including asia, for example, singapore, japan, as well as in america, the united states, and canada, where there are large communities of ukrainians across europe. in the future , pavlo and yulia plan to expand the assortment, they dream of creating not only christmas decorations, but also decorative and useful products, so that in everything the world could see for themselves: ukrainian things can be beautiful, high-quality and useful. natalya stareprava, nazar melnyk,

operations for the period december 13-20, 2023, the second week of the global offensive of the armed forces of the russian federation, the threat to the coal miner. december will probably be the bloodiest month in this war, because the armed forces of ukraine eliminate almost a thousand rashists every day. by the way, data on the number of losses of the occupiers since the beginning of the war was confirmed by the british. intelligence, which counted only 17 thousand destroyed russians less than the ukrainian general staff. the battle for bahmuts of the times of the occupiers focused on bakhmut. in the direction of 80 thousand soldiers, which is even more than last winter, when they began to attack the city. the main task for today is to take the villages of ivanivske and bohdanivka and reach the outskirts of chasovoy yar, where a multi-level system of our defense has been built. along the entire front from bohdanivka to ivanivskyi, they broke through in various places for 300-500 m, in particular completely occupied the village of khromov.

the russians launched an attack on ivanovsky from the north and from the south of the bahmud-chas road. at the same time, they try. to return part of the dominant heights to the north of klishchiivka, where fierce battles are currently ongoing. in this part of the front, the enemy is also breaking through the forest road that leads from klishchiivka to ivanovsk and thus cuts off part of the logistics routes. however , unlike the campaign at the beginning of the year, now the armed forces have a larger arsenal to repel meat assaults, and therefore the advance of the rashists is very slow and unlikely threatens with a rapid breakthrough of the front. avdiivska. sorubka bleeds the armed forces of the russian federation. the battle for avdiivka has already become the bloodiest during this war, although its end is not yet in sight. in two months, the russians lost 1,300 soldiers and more than 210 units of defense equipment. and this is without counting half of december, the armed forces of ukraine lose 10 times less equipment and seven to eight times

less people. breaking through to the front, the invaders occupied two positions to the west of the line, however. the futility of the attack on the fortified area, they continue the koksokhima attempts to bypass the city from the north and south to cut logistics. in the northern direction , columns of rashists daily storm the village of stepove, where in recent days they managed to advance 100 m deep. in addition, to the north of the village, the russians expanded the zone behind the railway track, to the south of the village and in the area of ​​koksokhimu, the situation remained stable. however, the russians achieved the biggest breakthrough in... the southern direction, where additional reserves were introduced, here they took up positions north of the test site, moved through the forest to the north, and also expanded the zone of influence to the west and north in the direction of pervomaisk and tonka. the ends of the pincers in which the occupiers want to take avdiivka. narrowed to 8 km and 700 m. zsu. instead,

the second and third lines of defense are being built in this area. therefore , the battle for avdiivka may continue for many more months, if it does not end here. russians the loss of maryinka and the threat to the coal miner. before the start of this large-scale offensive on the entire front of the donetsk region, the armed forces controlled almost 10% of the marine corps. however, after two weeks of fighting, we lost almost completely. it is completely destroyed city. because of this, it became more convenient for the enemy to attack south of maryinka in the direction of the villages of pobida and novomykhaivka. over the course of a week, the occupiers came close to the southern outskirts of novomykhaivka, and also make constant attempts. break into the village from the north. currently, this section of the front is the most dynamic and needs urgent stabilization. as before, the rashists intend to completely eliminate the ughledar bridgehead of the armed forces of ukraine, so soon we can expect new massive attacks on this city, which has already become a symbol of a burned russian tank. offensive to kupyansk. the russians do not stop trying

to break through to kuupyansk. for this, they moved to the lyman district. two engineering. units probably for crossing oskil. near lehman the first, they regularly form columns to storm the village of senkivka, but most of the russian equipment is destroyed by ukrainian drones and artillery. however, this week the invaders were able to break through the forest for 300 m towards the northern outskirts of the village. constant counterattacks continue near pervomaisky and yagidny, but without territorial changes. on the kremin direction managed to stabilize the front. the russians did not take a single meter of ours in a week. land the left bank of the kherson region does not give rest to putin. the events surrounding the village of krynky became so precocious for putin that he dedicated a separate lying speech to it during his press conference. no less manipulative was the article in the new york times, which pointed out the inexpediency of the presence of the armed forces of ukraine on the left bank of the kherson region, and also narrowed our bridgehead exclusively to the krynks, although

it is known for certain about the combat operations near oleshok, poima, and podstepny. in addition, the russians point to increasing the ukrainian presence. on the island of velikiy potemkinsky, which is near the bare pier. currently on the left bank, the enemy contingent of 65 thousand rashists cannot cope with barely a thousand of our heroes, who are, of course, well covered by artillery and drones from the right bank. due to the fact that the armed forces were able to achieve superiority in drones and artillery. enemy losses are quite significant. for example, emar drones alone destroyed 153 pieces of equipment and damaged another 450 in a few months. the occupiers decided to hit the flanks of the forest near the krinki, where we are defending, however ukrainian drones first hit a cluster of armored vehicles, and then the military finished off a small number of infantry who tried to... break through to the krinks. russian blows with shaheds and daggers. the russians began the winter shelling season in earnest. the alarm sounded almost

every night throughout the country. in a week, 116 shaheds, three daggers and a cruise missile flew to us. ukrainian air defense shot down almost 85% of the drones, a cruise missile and one dagger, the other two landed near the military base in starokostyantinov. this is where the enemy is going concentrates most of his blows while thinking. which will affect our aviation. kyiv became the second place where the rashists attacked less often, besides, they directed their attack uavs to odesa, mykolaiv oblast and dnipropetrovsk oblast. drones of the armed forces of ukraine hit russia and the occupied territories in donetsk, two missiles flew into the oil depot in mariupol , they hit an armored vehicle and the location of the air defense in luhansk, there was a lot of noise, but so far no details. in the same way, the occupiers hide the consequences of the attacks on dzhanka, simferopol, sevastopol and henichesk - declares that they shot down all drones, but local publics indicate otherwise. in addition, our drones sowed bavonna in the volgograd, lipetsk, bryansk and kursk regions, as well as in taganrog. the air

defense forces of the armed forces of the russian federation allegedly shot down 35 drones, the special operation of the ukrainian security forces, which directed 17 drones at the morozovsk airfield near rostov, was particularly successful. as a result , 10 aircraft were damaged at the base of the 559th bomber aviation regiment. 34, and two more were completely destroyed. recovery is a good sign raids of the legion of freedom of russia on the territory of arefi, although our allies seemed to oppose such actions earlier. the liberators fought quite successfully in the area of ​​the village of terebryno, in the belgorod region. we win daily, death to enemies. well, this is the dynamics of hostilities, and we will talk with defense express military expert ivan kyrychevsky about the details of what we actually are. seen, congratulations, ivan. good day. let's probably start from the end, that is , to increase the actual attempts to attack

infrastructure objects, mines, missiles. and, well, the holidays are coming up, you know, and we 're expecting what we had last year, when there were just these, you know, very powerful attacks from the enemy. in your... your opinion, what exactly should we expect, is it going to be comparable to the strikes that were last year, well, that is, what would you think should be said in this regard, you see, in this situation, it is difficult to predict, well, to get into the heads of the russians, to think that they can come up with such an insidious thing, because the maximum creativity that they are currently demonstrating is to frighten, that in our country, reactive geraniums will appear, because they say that they are reworked. shahed, in fact, a subsonic cruise missile , which will apparently not be shot down, although in fact it will be shot down, think instead of them that they, for example, will land a dozen

daggers in kiev or try to switch to caliber strikes, well, there is no need to prompt, let them do something themselves they make it up, on the other hand, well, let's still record that, in fact, in half of december, the russians released at least three hundred shaheds, and they clearly are aiming for an anti-record, so it is quite logical to assume. as a minimum, the russians will increase their foot attacks, since they already coincided with such a thing that we had a sensitive date, the anniversary of the holodomor, and there they directed up to a hundred sekheds to the capital, because we can recall that in the evening of that day the general staff said about 87 flying mopeds that were successfully shot down, well, at least, what should definitely be prepared for is that the russians will try to mass shahed attacks, the story with the threat of ballistics, too... was not shared anywhere, so you know, considering more, but you know, even taking into account such a worldview moment, that probably for the first time in our history we are switching to such a western calendar

of celebration, that is, that we are showing our will at a break, roughly speaking, with the moscow world, we are celebrating christmas together with the civilized one, well, maybe we even and you shouldn't make any plans, these holidays, taking into account some missile threats, well, russian threats, or just the opposite. well, let's say, to do everything so that, well, everything depends on yourself in each place, so that, even if the russians go to some a trick that you and i cannot come up with now , well, so that it would have a minimal effect , because of course, even if it were up to a hundred martyrs, everything would still be somehow so our morale will fluctuate, but it is in our power to make the russians at least they achieved a psychological effect there, well , at least a little minimal, what could they do, ugh, well, there is another such story, december 18. the commander-in-chief of the operational-strategic group tavria, this is exactly avdiyivka, by the way, as far as i understand, oleksandr tarnavskyi, in an interview for reuters said,

that there is a problem with bo passes, especially 122 mm calibers, 152 calibers, soviet calibers, this problem is on the entire front line, and the volumes that we have today are not enough in view of our needs, so we are redistributing, rescheduling tasks, and even he said that in some areas we went on the defensive, in some areas we continue offensive actions, but all the same we lack this, well, the lack of... shells, well, this is not news, obviously these are soviet calibers, there is a real problem with them , but here the question is a little different, what to do with this problem, therefore that it is obvious that ternavskyi's words were addressed more to our partners, but can the partners also help in something here, that's what the question is, well, here, in fact, the situation is two-sided, because, on the one hand,

the main capacities for... production shells of soviet calibers, they are concentrated in a very limited number of eastern europe, bulgaria seems to be there, romania and poland know how to do something. serbia supplies something from time to time, but there the question is open. accordingly, they say rudely, or even, well, at capacity the soviet projectiles do not know how to make the american military-industrial complex, well, because there is a completely different technology there, accordingly, even if there is a question that the congress should solve the issue with help, then... even if we have money, we need to physically find the starryads, and there it is obvious the problem is that, well, why did we start to lack soviet ammunition, well, because they have to be physically produced, so on the one hand, it is interesting that ternavskyi’s statement and the subsequent statement of one of the deputy ministers of defense that in order to compensate for the lack of shells, we will increase the production of kamikaze drones, but on the other hand, to solve this problem in

the long term, that is, how to make sure that we do not have such an acute shortage of soviet-caliber shells, this is already an obvious task that will have to be solved by our domestic the military-industrial complex, well, purely because it is, let's say, only we have such a unique problem, that there is such a mixture of nato artillery systems and soviet, warsaw pact standard, roughly speaking, the consumers of soviet ammunition in large calibers are now only us, everyone who can, they switch to 155 mm caliber artillery, so... well, what could be the need for these projectiles, because they are usually called after the projectiles there millions millions, but maybe there are some more, well, you know, limited numbers that you can hear, which would be realistic, which, most importantly, we could either provide ourselves, or at least we could somehow redistribute with our closest neighbors, and here is a nuance in that... exactly

in the case of artillery shells , it is impossible to agree, relatively speaking, in the middle, that there is a maximum need of 17 million shells, well , let's agree on five, well, purely, if we proceed from - standards that were left there from the soviet union, which it takes up to 200 shells of 152 mm caliber to destroy one platoon stronghold, well , you can understand where our military got the figure of 17 million, which is actually minimal, because the western press is very. likes to compare our war now with the first world, but it leaves out an important detail: in the first world war, for example, there was a very crazy intensive use of artillery, there it seems that the german army during one of the offensives used 3 million shells in a few hours and this provided uh there, let's say, suddenness and the success of the breakthrough, accordingly, our military would not have really refused, if they would have given 3 million shells for some kind of breakthrough operation,

well, at least, for example, if there were only shells for a counteroffensive in the south, so it is unlikely that there can be any number here, what is there it happened, well, that's enough , this story will constantly hang over us that we need at least millions of shells, we need to get them somewhere, they need to be made somewhere, well, roughly speaking, but i don't even know, probably already even at the stage of the post-war reconstruction of the armed forces of ukraine, the question of not having enough projectiles according to our normative needs will still remain, well... but is it possible to completely replace these soviet-style projectiles with nato-style weapons for today? well let's say this, estonian intelligence believes that we have up to 200 artillery systems, well, this is what estonian intelligence believes, i don't know where they got it from, but even if we proceed from such figures, well, in the best case, we have even less.
