the foam plastic over the window fell out and now it is impossible not to hear in my room, because it is very cold. i was looking at telegram , i saw that drones were flying over sokorky on darnytskyi , i thought that they were far from us, and if i had controlled the situation, we would not have gone into the warehouse, and when i heard that the drone was already near the window, i followed the child, exactly at that time there was an explosion. and to operational information from the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. 95 combat clashes took place at the front during the day. vorokh attacked in seven directions, the hottest - near avdiyivka, where our defenders repelled 35 assault attempts. the enemy also tried to break through the defense in the kupinsky direction. ukrainian defenders repelled 19 attacks. also, the armed forces continue to hold back the invaders in the maryinka area. our aircraft struck 16 areas of concentration of russians. the missile forces hit three ammunition depots. a day. on the winter solstice, another

1,080 russian invaders joined the ranks of the soviets, who will never see again the sun thus already more than 35,100 occupiers have been forever engulfed in darkness since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. on the contrary, the enemy's equipment shone with light. during the day, our defenders burned nine more enemy tanks, almost two dozen armored combat vehicles, 24 artillery systems and two. enemy drones, in addition, 34 units of enemy cars and special vehicles were destroyed, the general staff reminds that the data are indicative. twice as much as promised, germany will send 40 marder infantry fighting vehicles to ukraine, despite the fact that they declared 20, - reported the country's government. they noted that they had already provided ukraine with 80 marders. they emphasized that this year the amount of military aid to ukraine has increased significantly. the amount exceeded

4 billion euros, for the next 5 years germany promises aid in the amount of almost 5 billion euros. blood transfusions help... save millions of lives, full-scale war has critically exacerbated the need, but donor material is often in short supply, especially during holiday periods. how we can help with our blood, further in the plot: juliana is an intern, and she regularly donates blood. for the first time the girl sat down in the donor chair at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, when she realized that she could save someone's life by doing so. then, while in uzhhorod, yuliana... waited three days to replenish the blood bank, today she came for a planned donation in kyiv. i gave blood as a student and now during my internship. i am an intern doctor, i understand the necessity

of donating blood in general, both for the recipient and, in principle, for the donor as well. and if so, then, well, ukrainians are a strong nation, so why not share your strength. for those in need. the blood donated by juliana was processed and platelets were separated. this package will be immediately transferred to the needs of the hospital. at the amosov institute, there are currently about 200 patients who are waiting for or have already undergone heart surgery. for one surgical intervention, the recipient can be transfused with an average of four bags of blood or its components. in the case of platelets, they only last 5 days, so that's important. blood regularly to provide the hospital with such necessary material. the need is always more common in those groups that are most common in the population, i.e. the first and second blood groups. usually, we try to keep donors of rare blood groups in reserve and call them , if necessary, specifically for the patient, since blood

is stored for a short or long time and it is desirable to always collect fresh blood and give it out on the day when we collected it specifically for the patient. military personnel, including... children and other migrants, people who need emergency care, that is, various categories of patients that we have to operate even today, or now, or in a few days, and all the blood that our donors give us , volunteer donors, then this blood goes to such operations, blood is always needed for transfusion in ukraine, even if the hospital has all the groups and even their excess, an unscheduled operation may happen, and the blood bank will already have insufficient resources, especially the need for donors increases during holidays and vacations , when volunteers go on vacation. even though we are living in a war, there is still

a traditional seasonality in blood donation, that is, there are fewer people for some reason. and they are less willing to donate blood and less likely to join the donor movement during this period, someone on a business trip, someone is resting, someone can go to other regions to visit relatives. even on vacation, without being in your hometown, you can become a donor. to do this, you need to go to the donor platform on the internet and see the need for blood right where you are. on the website, you can find a drop-off point convenient for you and sign up for a donation. before donating blood, you will be tested to check the group and rh factor, then you will definitely be treated to tea and cookies, so if you do not have health restrictions, highlight have a good day and sign up for a donation, your blood can save someone's life.

on the clock. chaika, oksana vysochenska, we continue the information marathon on the espresso tv channel and inform about the most important things that are happening in our country. we... let's talk now with people's deputies about homework and external tasks challenges, let's talk about european integration , we will have enough trouble with it in some directions, i will quote the final press conference, well, the final press conferences are held by all the leaders of different countries, the challenge just went, orban was not excluded, this is what orban said.. . yesterday at his final press conference, word for word:

the most important thing is that hungary does not have a border with russia, orbán said, so he wants to always have a territory, do you hear him talking about us? which should be controlled by another state, the big boys, in everything else completely, agree and... agree with each other, he is referring to the boy putin and himself as an adult boy, and ukraine for him is a territory that should be controlled by another state, and which, well, it is not difficult to guess here, certainly not belarus and definitely not venezuela, that's right, not about orban, but about other possible obstacles on our way to europe, we will talk with maria mezyntseva, people's deputy of ukraine. congratulations, mrs. maria, i wish you good health, i sincerely congratulate you. so our path begins, this is how our path begins, and we actually have to choose

now, what path will we take to that europe, will we, or will we create some such system of our own, and will we propose it ourselves, we can do that, we can change in such a way as to fit europe, and europe should fit us, so that we can integrate as much as possible better, or there is an option when we will simply listen to what brussels tells us and just like polite students. do homework, which way will ukraine choose? well, first of all, it's, it 's really two-way, we're going to have communication, we're not going to have, let's say yes, monologue, this is definitely a dialogue, european integration is always a dialogue, without any coercion, that is, no one will tell us, look, dear ukrainians, you have a deadline, and before this deadline , specific bills must be implemented or voted on, this is always the case called

, well, in english it is called, good, own desire, and here we are very much waiting for an agreed document from the european commission, as we move forward, we can of course set priorities ourselves, it will be the direction of export, or it will be internal regulations for that. .. their qualities, that is, here and there we can move according to what are priorities for us. it is very important that the working group itself, the negotiating group, so-called, it will include not only politicians, not only experts, it is also civil society, it is also those people who see these processes from the outside, analyze and constantly update such analytics, yes, and in... and self-screening is a kind of self-analysis that ukraine launched, a very

interesting procedure, when we ourselves analyze our mistakes, we say so, we have here, here, here are the gaps, and we are ready to work on them, and it is very interesting that this self-analysis coincides with the opinion of independent experts, that is, it means that it is as objective as possible, also many are in favor of... and what's next, what concrete visions do we have, and let's plan for three -5 -10 years, we really want that in the next political cycle, and it will be in another 5.5 years, the elections in the 29th year, ukraine will come as close as possible to of your membership, and here you very well mentioned our hungarian partners, because it reminded... it is another matter for the european union that their rules and procedures for making decisions regarding the allocation

of macro-financial assistance for the expansion of their own project are imperfect, they have already, you know, endured such tests of the history of the european union for more than 70 years, and these rules definitely need to be changed, i am not saying that it existed in this format for all these 70 plus years, but let's... give credit, since croatia was integrated into the european union in 2013, or a huge block of countries in 2010, respectively, and ours. neighbors of eastern europe, well , no one will integrate into the european union like this, because it is too much many countries actually did not meet the standards that were set for them. let's remember even the crises that occurred in the financial sphere, when the european union had to pay off its own debt, and this was

the case of greece, this is a very interesting situation, but everything is done to preserve unity. and you know, yesterday i spoke with representatives of the spanish community and diplomats in our country, because spain recently completed its six-month leadership in the european council, we thank them very much, a very interesting factor is that no one does not perceive the possibility of such so-called leaving the room in the future as a solution to the situation, that is , everyone is very serious about not manipulating the money of the eu itself, nor making such deviations from the general rules, then it is necessary, i wanted you ask, then we need to change the rules within the eu, and then we need to change, sorry, literally 5 seconds, the rules of consensus decision-making, yes 27, no 27

then they should say yes, let it be 60 +1 vote, let it be a simple majority, it must be understood... that the formula must be changed, by the way, this is required by the voter of the european union, and it was fixed at the conference on the future of europe. mrs. maria, you see that the need to change the rules in the european union did not arise as a consequence, but the reason we just quoted, well, as they say, in the european family there is no one without orban, here there are two of them, one screams that won't let ukraine will be blocked on the way to nato, to euro-atlantic integration, it is said, he is a fizo, he sits in slovakia and screams like that from there, but to stop 75 times orban will impose a veto on ukraine, but on the path of european integration, do you see any ways that ukraine could on these

two, on these two factors. and orbán to influence otherwise than with a soldering iron and a bat? i see, definitely not with a soldering iron and a bat, although in the minds of many ukrainians, surely such tools immediately appear. if we are talking about diplomacy and international relations, we must use, first of all, the leadership of our state, i am sure that president zelensky will have the opportunity to talk with the mentioned leaders, this is the first thing, and well, he, he is in... they will listen to him, we still need to use our friendship groups, you know, we have a very powerful parliamentary friendship group with hungary and slovakia, and there we are at the level of parliaments, but we have absolutely no such problematic issues, but these people, politicians parliaments are also elected by people who , for the most part, both in slovakia and in hungary, strongly support ukraine, there were polls, by

the way, in hungary, very interesting, and people there did not agree with blocking in... ukraine on the way to the opening of negotiations. i would too added an important element: mr. orban himself, for example, has not been to ukraine for a very long time, if i am not mistaken, it has been decades, and he remembers that ukraine that he fixed a long time ago in his memoirs, but it is completely different state, we have had a revolution of dignity during this time, we have become from a candidate country to a negotiator country, we have a second wave of full-scale aggression, the war has been going on for 10 years, he hinted at the fact that we need to look at the rights of national minorities, and no one expected that we would so quickly adopt three important bills in in this area, but you know, everything is possible when you intend to follow international procedures

to fulfill your duties also within the framework of the council of europe, where you work. the venetian commission , which evaluated all our achievements within the framework of draft laws, so i would see such ways for us, that is, from the side, of course , of the state leadership, parliamentary diplomacy, well, of course, the cabinet of ministers, and direct visits, they change the position of politicians a lot, i remember how belgian colleagues came in the 15th year, we imported them to donbas, they got under the madman. shelling and further resolutions in the european parliament were simply voted on, initiated by them, not even by us , you know, that is, i am not saying that everyone should be subjected to shelling, but understand... the situation on the ground, as they say in english, well, it is incredibly necessary , and here we need to convince our colleagues

to carry out these visits, safety, everything else we can provide, the main thing would be the desire, this desire must be developed, mrs. maria, and do you still have one minute for one question, are you in a hurry, do you, yes, yes , yes, i have, ma'am maria, i want to ask you about money, the 18 billion. which we have already received in fact , what will they do next, or is there an option to receive further funding in the near future, because we are already involved, we are used to receiving this money, and we really need it, yes , i want to divide this issue into two important aspects: firstly, the tranche is indeed agreed, we have 50 billion, this is until the 20th of the seventh year, yes, where did this, well, the figure came from in general 12.5, there is 18.5 billion , this year we lived financially,

thanks to the help of the international monetary fund, american partners and the european union, the european union allocated us 18.5 billion for the 23rd year to support the economy, social guarantees, etc., and remember, hungary also tried to block this package, thank god - we survived it , now we already have a question of 50 billion for three financial years, so we divide by three, we understand what amount comes out, it is very important that it is not for military aid, the european union finances our military needs separately, there are even bilateral packages of such aid, training , which are allocated there too almost 50 billion, it's very important , sorry millions, it's very important... here, after all , we rely on these funds, they don't need to be returned right away tomorrow, and the european union absolutely understands the calculation,

we have approximately 7 billion, we cost ourselves in a month, half of these funds are either at a very low interest rate or are borrowed, and we do not exchange anything for reforms, i constantly emphasize this, ukraine itself, our people, our defenders need reforms. and in many things, the european union looks at us as a certain leadership, this also applies to digitalization, and the provision of administrative services, and i think the temporarily displaced persons felt how much more these areas are developed at home in ukraine than in the same germany or france, admittedly, it is very important to understand that no, well, everything is already clear... the commission noted, legal ways have been found, these are all manipulations, again, and we are against it, and we will block it, well , let's not forget that hungary still

got what it was counting on in terms of macro-financial support from the european union, and let them not be too fussy, that's why that the european union too may be offended and reconsider their decisions, of course no one would want that, and precisely... the main thing is that we once again push the leaders to think about their rules and procedures, we are ready to join this as a friendly partner, not just because that we are european integration, and it is important for us, and there is also moldova, there is also georgia on the line, there are other countries of the western balkans, which, by the way, are supported by slovakia and hungary, and, well, maybe less hungary, very much supports austria. the chancellor of this country also issued certain not very positive statements to himself confirmation of our negotiating status

, so you know, it is very important to become a friend to the western balkans and say that friends, let's come together, we are now in the same status, we are ready to go and consider these rules and procedures together so that everyone easier, it is a test of democracy and a test. of the european project itself, we would really hate for this test to be negative, ms. maria, we immediately feel that we are talking to a person who is engaged in live diplomacy, including parliamentary diplomacy, because we could not talk like that with uchich and the serbs, we would with them spoke differently, and you speak as a diplomat, so you are the first person on this morning's airwaves with diplomatic experience, so you will have to bear this responsibility. because in your person we congratulate everyone on the day of the employee of the diplomatic service, today is a holiday, so please accept our congratulations, and thank you, thank you for participating in our
