camikat drone the shakhead, i also know that the apartments on the top floors were on fire, where exactly did these fragments hit, where did they hit, and i know that one of the apartments belongs to our colleague, he was there with his family, he is a journalist of the publication ictv, but now he is not able to get in touch to talk, previously, before that he stated that everything is fine with him and with his family as well. only the property was damaged, the apartment was destroyed, and now i am near, we can see these cars that were damaged here in the yard so people are actually hard to find here right now who live in this particular house that was hit because they were here at night and now most, some that have been contacted and most of those that were here at night in the yard, they had already gone to sleep and... to get over

what had happened in general, and let me remind you that it all happened around 12 o'clock at night, and we also managed to hear these explosions at night, and. .. i will say that the owner of this car just left, he lives in the neighboring house, he said that everything was in in principle, as in other cases , there was a flash, an explosion, he ran out into the street, saw a damaged car, saw some wounded people from this house where it was hit, and in general says that in principle nothing else , he did not see anything like that, i.e. everything happened according to the usual scenario. this is tonight, thank you very much, thank you, it was about the beginning of the 12th, according to my calculation, 1:12, well, i already fell asleep, the child was already sleeping, then they heard the cool pike of this moped, the sound is sharp, as he plans, and immediately explodes , it didn't shake

much, but the explosion itself was very strong for myself and the photo flash was very hot, and then such pieces of the house, the facade of the house there were on fire... we killed the roof, and we saw that there was a fire on the upper floors, the fire was caused by this explosion, and immediately the neighbors and the police quickly arrived and the ambulances ran up there, and i will also add that the police are already working here, so far, we have seen that they have surrounded the area, literally just now, maybe it will be visible with tapes, and there is a possibility that they will fall. debris from the house, which was hit by the debris of the shahed, so we are already being asked to leave also to leave so that the police could work and so that there would not be, actually , in order to avoid danger, so that nothing would fall on his head. thank you very much, roxala, for such an operational activation. rukslana bychay,

a correspondent of radio liberty, from the scene of the event in the capital, which was previously attacked by russian forces, there is a hit in the multi-apartment residential building itself. i would like to remind you that you, those who watch us on radio liberty's youtube channel, can subscribe in order for this video to become popular on the network, subscribe to radio's youtube channel svoboda, in addition, we thank the viewers of the espresso tv channel, where we also broadcast every morning, write us in the comments from which region you watch us in order to understand what the situation was in your region, and in particular, ruslana said that she heard explosions yesterday in the capital, did you hear them? mykola povoroznyk, the first deputy chairman of the kmda, joins our broadcast, my congratulations, congratulations, please tell me about the consequences of the attack on the capital, what is known as of now, and still the main question that i would like to clarify, this apartment building was hit by a russian drone, or was the wreckage of a drone that was shot down over

the building hit, well, there really is no big difference, thank god that it ended in such a way that there were practically no victims of the two lightly wounded... which according to assistance has been provided, now specialists will analyze in more detail the situation with the hit and the consequences that this explosion brought, i mean now let's see if there is damage to the load-bearing structures, or if it is only the auxiliary structures of the house, and which work needs to be done in order to restore the house itself, now the investigative team , what your correspondent said, what your correspondent said, now the investigative team will complete the work there, and completely different specialists will go there and take possible fragments, those that will fall on your head there, so that they do not fall on your head, well, we will think accordingly, what to think, what to do next. mr. mykola, i still want to clarify whether i understood correctly that the conclusion about whether it was the entire

drone that was flying or whether it was the debris of the downed drone, it will become known later, the conclusions on this topic will also be later, this, this question should be answered by experts, for me it is extremely important that... about what was also said directly in the previous commenter that emergency the services arrived literally in a few minutes, that is, it was clear that something was happening there, rescuers, doctors, and the police arrived there, everyone who was supposed to be there to provide timely help. mr. mykola, i would also like to clarify about the residents of the building, in particular those apartments that could to suffer, it is clear that experts will now find out how everything is, whether it happened from... or maybe people turned to the local authorities to help them with temporary housing? there is no question of eviction yet, by the end of today we will understand by lunch what the situation is with the house, if you yourself can see and could contemplate it, that practically there

is no such major damage in the house, there is light in the house, there is heat, there is water, the elevators work, because it is all done, let's say in such a central part, inside at home that's why they turned out to be undamaged , i have a very high hope that we won't have to resettle anyone from there and we just need to carry out repair and restoration work as soon as possible, and finally , our activation is just to understand how much this shahed attack to the ukrainian capital was more massive, less massive compared to the past? well , that night there weren't as many shaheds as there were a few weeks ago, but you see, the consequences are different, there are enough of them, unfortunately, and one to make problems in the city, as regards critical infrastructure, and residential infrastructure and the like, here it is so difficult to say whether it is a lot or there are 3, 4 or five of them. or 50, er, there is no big difference, they carry a threat one way or another, and we can see even after

last night that even a small number of them can cause a lot of trouble. yes, mr. mykalo, we are finishing the broadcast, but to clarify literally, taking into account what the stories were in the past, please tell you, as a representative of the authorities, whether the residents may have contacted you about the that there is a closed shelter in some condominium, or some other shelter in a place that should work in the event that there is an air alarm, this time exactly, or was there ever such an appeal. we are them, well , we are them, if there are any, we react to them instantly, even to the point that we cut the locks on those ee warehouses where ee is addressed, well, now there is such a serious attention to bombs and shelters, because we call everyone an obligation it is necessary to shelters and very serious attention to its centers of invincibility or points of heating, as who who whom whom as it is convenient to call them so that they were working as they should work. thank you very much for tuning in, for telling us about the situation, mykola povoroznyk, the first deputy chairman of the kmd,

a guest of our broadcast, we talked about the night attack on the ukrainian capital and the consequences that are known as of now. the minister of defense of ukraine, rustem umyerov, did not claim that ukraine would de-occupy crimea in 2024. this was announced in a comment to the public by the spokesman of the department i, lorion pavlyuk, who, as hromadske writes, was present during the mayor's interview with the german publication "bil". for him according to pavlyuk, precisely according to pavlyuk, the journalist asked this question several times, but the minister avoided any predictions with dates. instead, he said that crimea will be 100 percent liberated and that this is kyiv's strategic goal. i will remind you that the german publication bilt published an article in which it claims that umerov is convinced that ukraine can liberate the russian-occupied peninsula next year. meanwhile , explosions were heard in the occupied crimea the day before, at least four of them were heard in kirch, in addition to dzhankoya and sevastopol. it is reported. crimean wind telegram channel with a link to its subscribers. the voice of

crimea telegram channel published a photo of alleged smoke near an industrial highway in the kerch region. it is known that during the day traffic on the kerch bridge was blocked for more than an hour. the occupation authorities of the peninsula did not comment on the situation, the russian ministry of defense reported that they had shot down a ukrainian missile over the sea of ​​azov. volodymyr saldo, the head of the occupation of kherson oblast, said that it was an atakamsi missile that was flying in the direction of the kerch bridge. statements we will discuss about the war and our guest vladyslav seliznyo, a military expert, ex-speaker of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine in the 14th-17th years, who is already in touch with us. my greetings to you. good morning and glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes, thank you for joining. mr. vladyslav, and yet, when will ukraine really be able to liberate crimea, when will it be able to happen and, in order to understand the answer to this question, what are the prerequisites, what should happen in order for this... it happened that ukraine necessary? as to me, the answer to this is obvious, it

was repeatedly made public by the former commander of us forces in europe, general ben hodges. he is now a well-known expert who often gives interviews, and his reasoning is quite logical. so, according to the american general, ukraine is capable of liberating crimea from enemy presence, not only crimea, but also sevastopol, in a fairly short period of time and without spending too much effort, but ukraine is needed for that. the army has two important components: the first component is missile, the same missiles you mentioned such as scalp or stormshadow, perhaps tauruses from german-swedish manufacturers would be added to them, because its combat part is designed in such a way that it is capable of destroying , including seriously concrete structures like the kerch bridge, and of course we need the cover of the sky, and for that, by destroying f16s, which will also ... ensure the actions of the ukrainian army both on dry land and in accordance with the waters of

the black and azov seas. we see that, having such a component, the ukrainian army will be able to break the resistance of the russian occupiers, which currently operating in the south of kherson and zaporizhzhia regions, then move forward and, by literally physically destroying the enemy group in the crimea, liberate our territories, and the recipe or. the plan of action from ben hodges is as follows: in order to deprive the enemy group of stable logistics in crimea, it is necessary to destroy the structure of the kerch bridge in the first place. in this way, in this way, the russians would... feel a lack, a serious lack of everything they need to provide for their occupation contingent, but realizing that such ukraine, russian forces, the russian federation can protect the kerch bridge, they have enough anti-aircraft systems for this, are there any ways to protect such a long distance from possible attacks? the russians are literally flaunting the fact that they have the ability to defend the kerch

bridge from the sky, from the ground, from the water, and from underwater. we see what... level of physical measures are taken by the russian occupying power to ensure that this structure stands, and the fact that the kershchen bridge is blocked from time to time is a security issue and is connected with the fact that a certain protocol begins to work, which blocks any traffic of transport and railway, including railway through the kerch bridge, accordingly, engineering smokescreens begin to work, russian anti-aircraft defense systems begin to work, what about the closure of this structure from the sea. and the barrier barrier and the installation of additional physical barriers in the water area, at least of the black sea, that is, from the south of the kerch bridge, all this should , according to russian experts, contribute to and the breed survived, but again, the american general is a sufficiently experienced and professional official who absolutely clearly understands the subject of the conversation, so

i think his recommendations are correct, and in this case and only the new ukraine will receive such resource opportunities to implement the same plan , will turn out exactly as general hodges says. analysts of the american institute for the study of war have estimated that the suspension of western aid will probably lead to the fact that ukraine will lose the ability to deter the russian army, this is literally a direct quote, so what in in such a case, if for example it will happen? of course, the current war is primarily a war of resources and, as they say, you can try to stop enemy tanks with your bare hands, but the result. the duel is obvious to everyone, so in order for the ukrainian army to be as effective as possible, we need weapons, we need ammunition, and for those weapons, we need specific equipment, which is now a determining factor in the current stage of the russian-ukrainian confrontation, primarily about the radio electronic system of struggle, because we are here, unfortunately, grazing the rear of the enemy has a very extensive network

of radio electronic warfare systems, and of course we need drones, but here it seems that our military officials... absolutely clearly articulate such positive signals and the deputy minister of defense ivan gavrylyuk declares about the fact that ukraine is increasing the production of the same drones, which can even partially compensate for our lack of artillery ammunition, and mr. komyshen, the relevant minister of strategic industry , hints at the same thing, god forbid it happened because it is obvious that resources are needed in this war, which is the largest on the european continent in terms of scale . well, at the final press conference, president zelenskyi also said that in the 24th year, ukraine will be able to produce a million drones, although he did not specify which drones he was talking about. i would like to ask you one more question, russian president putin instructed the russian ministry of defense to draft russians for military service in october-december of 2024 using a unified register of conscripts and electronic summons how actively is russia currently preparing for increased mobilization and how

many can the kremlin mobilize for the needs of the people? i think that it is worth calling the russian federation another epithet - an electronic concentration camp, a concentration camp, i think that here putin is inspired by the developments that are in the neighboring people's republic of china, i think that the appropriate technologies will be applied and accordingly on the territory of the russian federation, of course, the level of coverage by the electronic network of russia is somewhat lower, that is, the coverage is quite serious these processes in the european part of the russian federation, beyond the urals, are more difficult, but none the less. they are working to literally keep under control, under the electron, under the control of the electronic eye, all and all russians, from the baltic coast, all the way to the far east, to kamchatka and, accordingly , sakhalin, what the enemy has, which is four times more resource capabilities , it is primarily about human capabilities, it is obvious,

the population is much larger, besides, the enemy is looking for any opportunities, in that including and at the expense of her... of those guest workers to replenish the ranks of their own army, besides , there is a certain financial gain in those processes, so the enemy has the opportunity to implement the same plan of multiplying its military presence, because now ukrainian intelligence claims that 450,000 enemy soldiers and officers are fighting as part of the so-called special military operation, so russia is able to increase its quantitative presence, and this is logical, if we look at this story from... from the essence of the military such a pole, why? because in order to take under control of the territories that vladimir putin measures, 450,000 of this group is not enough, even. if we add 30,000 guardsmen there, that alone is not enough, because it is not enough to take control of one or another territory, they still need to be held,

the partisan movement of our werewolves and partisans will begin and is already ongoing in the occupied territories, and this is absolutely logical, because the enemy came to a foreign land, he tries to dominate, accordingly, human resistance will take place and he will be connected, including weapons, with the opposite. mr. vladyslav, thank you you for such a detailed analysis. vladyslav seliznyo, military expert, ex-speaker of the general staff. in the armed forces of ukraine in the 14th and 17th years, we talked about the latest news regarding the russian-ukrainian large-scale war. the ministry of defense of ukraine stated that german journalists shifted the emphasis in rustem umyerov's words regarding the mobilization of men who had gone abroad. on the eve of the welt publication, referring to the interview with umyerova, she wrote that the minister intends to mobilize men living abroad next year. head of department press and information of the ministry of defense. in a comment to the publication, babel explains that the minister generally spoke about recruiting and the need to convey information to ukrainians arriving abroad about how important it is to join the ranks of the ukrainian army, according

to him, no mechanisms for recruiting ukrainians abroad are discussed. at the same time , welt writes that sanctions may be applied to those who refused to mobilize. the minister is still discussing with the team what will happen to those who don't show up to the military by invitation at the same time, according to the minister, it is important. justice and in the future , it should be clear to the mobilized, how they will be trained and equipped, where and how long they will serve and when they will leave the armed forces. according to minister omierov, ukrainians of conscription age from 25 to 60 years want to be invited to the recruiting stations of the armed forces of ukraine. now, by the way, the conscription age in ukraine, let me remind you, is from 27. open issues regarding mobilization should be regulated by the law that the verkhovna rada is developing. deputy head of the committee of the verkhovna rada on the issue. of national security, people's deputy of ukraine from the servant of the people marina bezugla, who actively writes about the development of this bill, published allegedly copies of a letter signed by general

zaluzhny. in the document, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine writes that there is no need to treat all women, as this will overload recruitment centers. proposes to keep the current rule on registration for women with medical and pharmaceutical education. the general staff also proposes to remove the rules on the rotation of soldiers from the front line after three months and an additional leave of 90 days. also, in the letter, it is proposed to withdraw the norms on mobilization for positions based on the decision of a previously acquired military specialty. for example, in wartime, the mobilized can receive a new military profile for service. also in the letter, it is proposed to remove the regulations on the dismissal from service of persons with the second disability, that is, with the second group of disabilities, and on the mandatory transfer of military personnel from the ccc after three years of service to other positions in military units. it is also about what the service in the tcc requires. of specific knowledge, and such a norm can destroy the system of military accounting. at the final press conference , president zelenskyi said that the military leadership had informed him of the need to mobilize up to

half a million ukrainians, but this would cost about uah 500 billion, which the prime minister and the minister of finance of ukraine need to find. the president also emphasized that the issue of demobilization, vacations, business trips and transfers to other units has not yet been resolved. instead, zelenskyi said that he would not sign the norm on the mobilization of women. vadim ivchenko, people's deputy of ukraine from the motherland, member of the verkhovna rada's committee on national security, defense and intelligence, is currently joining our broadcast, my congratulations, and good morning to everyone, thank you for finding the opportunity to join, let's clarify , regarding the defense minister's statement, please tell me, from what you know, in the parliament, in the government, the question of finding mechanisms to recall ukrainian men who have gone abroad to return to ukraine for military service is being raised in general. but i want you to remind that any law passes through the parliament, which means that without the parliament, without the national security committee, it is impossible

to adopt any law, any initiative, well , it is physical, it must pass a vote in the committee, and then a vote in the hall, so of course, we are involved in the development of this law, and we have already met several times. in closed mode with the ministry of defense, with the general staff, in order to speak the main points, i will tell you more, the press conference of the president was in the evening, and we voted at the committee, when we did not support the proposal, i will not say who, about mobilizing women, so this is the position of the committee as well and not only the position of the president, this is the first, second, we will introduce so so a kind of military... registration, that is, all men must receive, let's say, a military registration card and must undergo, let's say, re-identification at the tsc. whether it is

a people's deputy, whether it is an official, whether it is any other armored person, that is , it will be recorded in this record that there is a suitable so-and-so, but he is armored there, he is a people 's deputy, he is the current mayor, i don't know him, he works there at a defense production company there, that is, he has armor there and so on, all the others will be grouped, let's say in numbers. and then those who must be mobilized as needed by the general staff will be highlighted, i will not tell you the numbers either, what this means, this means what this means, this means that if a person abroad, for example, he also has to undergo this identification, and if it does not pass, then this means that there will be consequences, one of the consequences, for example, may be

that consular services will not be provided to her , i.e.... if the passport is expired, no one will provide a new one, then she will not be able to provide consular services there in the form of a power of attorney , and so on , because a lot of power of attorneys are made by the courts to ukraine, in order to either sell property there, or, excuse me, to give something as a gift there and so on, this also cannot be done, next the bank, the bank will also ask for a new identification, but these identifications must include this certificate directly , but here it is of military records, this... means that even bank cards can be disconnected, that is, a person who is physically abroad, he must pass this identification, if everything is in order with him, he went abroad, well, according to certain documents, you see, by the way, the general staff asks to remove people from mobilization, or rather to remove those who are not subject to mobilization, people with the second group of disabilities, that is, in fact,

if you left there with... group, or with the second, then for by the new law, you still pass military registration, but you will already be the person who is possible, let's still clarify that with regard to those who are ukrainians abroad, this is an important point, after all, this is currently a work in progress, which is carried out either by a specialized committee or by those deputies who are developing this bill, right? this, well, let's put it this way, it cannot be only a committee or a ministry or the general staff, it is a complex bill that... is earned by both deputies and the ministry of defense, the command, the whole team, and the whole by the command of the general staff together, yes. when will this draft law be presented to the entire ukrainian parliament to be put to a vote there in the first reading, for example? i think that it will be the month of january, in the month of january, literally in the first days when the parliament will be in session, this bill will be presented to the parliament as a draft, and believe me, there will still be discussions

in the parliament. there will still be a discussion with deputies there with various factions and so on, so now i am only saying what is being developed and let's say this, these insiders about which i say that people abroad, they will be the same as ukrainians here in ukraine, i mean ukrainians abroad, have to go through the same procedures, that is, identification will have to be done, and if you pass and you will in the list of those under... this is a normal process, then it is your choice, either you go back, or you stay there, and this will be a violation of the law of ukraine, by the way, for children, you know that the president so far he has not signed the law on reducing the age to 25 years, signed by the parliament, that is, from 17 to 20

will be implemented. you must have such training, well, what kind, if earlier, if anyone remembers my age there, it was such a pre-conscription training, that is, you have to take certain shooting courses there, certain physical training courses, certain courses in certain theory and so on and so forth, that is, it is exclusively for well, look, i don't want to disclose now where it will be, how it will be, it will be completely there, let's say in the area of ​​responsibility of the ministry of defense and not the fact that... it will be at educational institutions, maybe it will be with military units, but i i don't want to talk about it now, i want to say that the children will undergo training, it will just be necessary to undergo training so that we clearly understand that we are preparing a person there, if when he is 25 or 27 years old there, we are preparing a person that he he will already have knowledge, theories, he will know not only how there are ritea koopulapatami, he will know all types of weapons there, there is a kalashnikov.
