tightens, but the technology is already, let's say, not new, no, not of the same quality as it was. in the evening over kryvyi rih in the dnipropetrovsk region, our soldiers shot down a guided air missile kh-59, reports the air command east. at night , the enemy launched 31 rockets from the crimea, 28 of them hit the spo in the odesa, kherson, mykolaiv, donetsk, kirovohrad and khmelnytskyi regions. the drone attack lasted 6.5 hours. also, our anti-aircraft defense destroyed both missiles. aviation x-59 in zaporizhzhia and x-31p released from the black sea. the wreckage of the shaheds damaged the port infrastructure of odesa, in the rozdilyan district of the region, an inactive administrative building and preserved warehouses, as well as commercial premises in the pavlograd district of the dnipropetrovsk region. in berislavsky.

in the kherson region, it was not possible to avoid being hit, warehouses burned, no one was injured. statements by the russians about the downing of four f-16 aircraft in the air force of the armed forces of ukraine were called a common fake. in addition , the southern defense forces stated that the occupiers actively began to spread not only this disinformation, but also about the destruction of our air defense systems in odessa. the military are convinced. in this way, the russians are trying to silence the news about the downing of their five planes in a week. on friday , the army landed three russian su-34 fighters. today, president zelenskyi announced the downing of two more enemy planes in donetsk region, another su-34 was targeted, and an su-30 was shot down in the black sea. according to experts, russia lost its annual production of su-34 aircraft in two days. in total, according to the latest summary of the general staff

of the armed forces, there was one missile and 19 in the past day russian airstrikes. during the day, there were 76 combat clashes on different areas of the front. in the kupian direction, our soldiers repelled six enemy attacks. another 24 collisions took place on lymanskyi near serebryansk forestry of bilogorivka and vesely. four more enemy assaults in the area were repulsed. muta fierce battles continued around vdiivka. the ukrainian military also continues to hold back the enemy's attack in the mariinsky and miner's directions. in zaporizhzhia, fierce battles were fought near the robot. in addition, the enemy is trying to knock out our units from the bridgeheads on left bank of the dnipro. during the day, the enemy carried out 12 unsuccessful assaults. received a decent rebuff and suffered losses.

in just a few days, the enemy destroyed the third base with humanitarian aid in kherson. according to mykola ranenko, the commander of the kherson regional rapid response unit of the red cross of ukraine, the third base was destroyed, they were hit with mortars, and everything burned down. residents of the unconquered city note that shelling has become more intense in the last three days. our correspondent olga chayko works in kherson, the last from her news. from there, olya, congratulations, how is the city there, how are the people of kherson, and what do the military say? well, tetyana, your native kherson is standing, although it is really suffering from russian shelling, we did not manage to talk to the military today, but we talked to the locals, they said that there are really less mortars coming, but more rockets and mortars are coming , actually, even when people are human. walks the dog in the evening,

he even tries not to wear a hat in order to hear what exactly might fly by. the local authorities did not comment on what exactly today they bombed, but it was very noisy in the city. what we saw was that during the day , public transport was not running, trolleybuses were parked like that, people could move only on minibuses or on foot, well , it should be noted here that the people of kherson, in general, try not to go out one more time without loss. to the street, they think that it will be safer for them in the house, although today the church of the ocu, they still held a christmas service, it was not very crowded, because of the shelling, people are afraid to enter, but such the most devoted ones came to the church, and we even managed to hear carols, please give them now, we will sing them. lighted up,

rejoice, that pure house gave birth to a son. rejoice, but i don’t understand why there is such a dilemma at all, there are traditions, tradition is good , it does not contradict anything, no humane values, yes, we have difficult times, but who said that in difficult times people should take away the last joy from themselves , illogical. well, yes, we talked to the regent of the choir, and he said that we should celebrate, at least it is necessary to celebrate, it is not necessary to abandon all traditions. we saw that in this ocu church they installed an ishopka, the parishioners baked such a christmas lamb, and people tried to come

to this, and for the kherson region, in principle, the date of this new celebration, it may be unusual for some, but the parishes are working with their parishioners . and for the people of kherson, who are constantly bombarded by the russians, there is one more argument for celebrating christmas on december 25 with the whole civilized world, caroling, we have a nativity scene, christmas tree, there was a good festive atmosphere, if before the war, it would have been a problem, but now it is not a problem, because just not to celebrate with russia, you know, it already hurt. well, the russians made a special effort during the holidays, now you can see how the part that was destroyed in chornobayivka looks like, now there is no polyclinic there, also a 37-year-old woman died during shelling in the evening the day before, we also managed

to visit the place in kherson, where the russians untied the gas pipeline on saturday, there is a huge one vomited, and people say that it was from iskander , there were also wounded people , and unfortunately... one more man died, his house was completely destroyed, they are now trying to clear it of rubble, the daughter was not in the house at that time, she kept trying to call her father, then the neighbors reported that he had died, the only thing she consoles herself with is that he probably didn't suffer before his death, well , i don't have christmas now, because it's the date of my dad's death, i don't have a new year , because it will be 9 days since he died, so i have these holidays no more in life, i don’t have a dad , i also lost two of our cats together with my dad, i don’t have a house, it is not subject to restoration, well, actually, it is very, very scary to listen to this, but these are the realities, nowadays in the kherson region, really russians

they spend most of their time during the holidays. tatyana, thank you olga chayko, about kherson, and the sounds of explosions on the eastern front, again in donetsk region, do not subside. and our military correspondent kostyantyn melnikov welcomes christmas again with a guest, so kostya, tell me what the situation is now, and what and who will join you on our broadcast today, because i know there must be a surprise. greetings tanya , unfortunately, the war cannot be paused during the holidays, and this time was also turbulent on the eastern front, the russian occupation forces are shelling the positions of our defenders from... all along the front line, they are shelling the frontline cities, so now it is extremely important to support each other and especially our defenders, and now on the screens you see props with which you can support the next collection of surveillance drones for fighters of the rapid response brigade of the rubizh national guard,

ago, so i ask everyone to get involved, donate, donate and donate again, because we need eyes, we need fp drones that will lower the enemy , and therefore this is probably the greatest wish for christmas and new year holidays, that people donate, and also that all alive and well return on it, and... ms. tatiana, are you here with us now, can you hear us? yes, i hear you, very well. and what would you wish for ukrainians and volodymyr's compatriots? i would like everyone to return home alive, healthy, to their families, to their families, er, that they were, well, how can i say, that they were healthy. we are waiting for everyone at home with victory. every mother will wait for her son, every wife for her husband. i remind you that

's the name of the town reconstruction project in sumy oblast. the russians were looking for her from the neighborhood. dropped eight vacuum bombs in the center of ponivychyna, which high-rise buildings, the private sector, etc. the sub-project of state reconstruction did not get a chance. at the expense of the community and international donors , 70% of the housing was prepared, but the restoration project has to change everything - urbanists are convinced and assured our film crew. the city council was one of the visiting cards of the okhtyrka, almost two years ago it was bombed by the russians, who until recently began to dismantle the ukrainian flag on... stop. the russians bombarded okhtyrka from the first day of the offensive until their escape on march 30, 2022 . these are the consequences of hitting vacuum

projectiles. but last march, there was an array of country houses, where the russians built five high-rise buildings. this is our shooting. in may , there are simply no apartments on the first floor. nowadays , the house is as if it is new, it is not without defects. balconies were made here, and entrance windows were also made in each of the apartments, that is, this house is made completely turnkey. and you see, and even the outer decoration is a little bit like this the house, because, well, in the form in which it was, it was cut by fragments. it was restored by the place, part of the money was given by denmark, the red cross joined in the repair of the house opposite. the scars from the flights were smeared. the windows were put in, but not all of them, it was a cold winter, we stood in the warm room for a month to close them, it turned out that when we came, we will say, sponsors, yes , it is glazed here, it is not necessary here, and it turned out who did it, who worked, that’s why it didn’t happen, who was lazy, that’s why it happened, and yet you can live here, in general, a successful city under the international

support brought four houses to order , then there was not enough money, residents... come to look at their ruins, i don’t even know what happened, but the fact is that no one is building or rebuilding anything for almost two years, windows supplied, but one window in the kitchen was installed and that was it. the mayor explains that everything was given to the state, when the council forced the communities to return the personal income tax of the military, now we rely on the government and international partners to rebuild this high-rise building, we need... there was 30 million, we already spent 7 million from the local budget for the completion of all works, we do not have the funds to date, the residents are naturally indignant and say that nothing is being done, okhtyrka was not included in the program of the great state restoration, so they decided to rebuild only housing and infrastructure, the center remains in ruins,

the historical museum was preserved , the reconstruction of the department store, they postponed the collapse of the city council almost... collected, for 5 million they developed a plan for what it will be like after the reconstruction, they stopped at this, they say, until victory, the whole country is at war with us, in any city, in any - what the place can be flown in at any second, to talk about the fact that we can rebuild something worth billions, which can be destroyed by weapons worth millions, well, this is not logical, and while the great reconstruction is on pause, the concept of the development of the city has been taken up by activists , they... made the okhtirka urbanvision project, where they investigated how young people and older people see the future of this city. oleksandra naryzhna, the main expert of this project. she is convinced that it is necessary to think about... the opinion of the residents, we study the opinions

of the residents, we conducted such a sociology, we we understand that we will not do the whole city tomorrow, but we can have a goal and a vision to which we are going, and this, and in this vision we will have written concrete steps to get there. alexandra and i are talking about gdańsk, which was completely rebuilt after the destruction of the world. it is possible to adopt, for example, energy saving projects, or a developed network of public transport, because in akhtyrka 40% of citizens walk, not because they like it, but they say there is no other alternative. local activists complain that almost no new housing is being built here, there is no entertainment, that is why young people fled en masse from okhtyrka even before the war. when i was 15 years old , there was no skateboarding infrastructure here at all. we have a large number of artists who sit at home, draw somewhere, are afraid to go out... and if they do go out, they stay underground. stas is one of those who are convinced that street culture can become one of the drivers of the city's development. despite the war, activists complete the creation of

an indoor skate park, and okhtyrka street in the summer decorated with murals. we have beautiful nature around the city. there is nothing to do in the place itself. just dismantle all the debris and make a through alley, give, well, the opportunity to the families of each defender, just plant a tree here. it was destroyed by the russians. seagulls who remember what war is and were able to improve after it. zokhtyrky tagdansk, olga comfortable with all the charms of european cities, volodymyr kovalenko and yevhen lukyanov, facts, ictv, single news. and then about the kyiv subway in the section between demiivska and libitska stations, where a critical leak was discovered water preparatory work has already begun, the metro management said. the accident area has already been strengthened, and in order to plan further actions, they are waiting for the results of geological

studies, whether this leakage was sudden, whether it was the fault of the builders or the operators, the experts will show. the metropolitan prosecutor's office has started a pre-trial investigation into the fact of official negligence, what is the condition of other areas, undergrounds, and in general, what can the people of kyiv expect from novobud? natalie. will tell behind this fence is the sinkhole that formed two weeks ago near the demiivska metro station. exactly here, but underground, in the subway tunnel, due to leakage and the fourth, almost last state of emergency, the passage between demiivska and libitska stations was closed. the metro management refused to show what the current situation is in the tunnel, where critical flooding was discovered two weeks ago, saying that technical work is currently being carried out there, but to invite the media. later a shuttle service was launched from teremki to dimiivska, utility workers are busy on the mountain. underground work also continues, the subway assures. it is still preparatory, waiting for geological results

of research in the middle of the tunnel, we are currently doing priority work related to the need to strengthen the structures. at this time, there is a critical section that has already been reinforced. but why did the leak occur and what is the condition of the other tunnels of the capital metro. demiivska station is relatively new, but really the most difficult. section of the kyiv underground, researchers are convinced. these are the rivulets of the lybid river, and there are many springs and streams around it. when it was built, they knew about it, and they say they took measures and just put it into operation. in 2011, the first cracks appeared. in this area the diameter of the tunnel was increased, that is, the thickness of the walls was increased. the cracks actually appeared three months after starting. operation in march 2011, that's when kyivmetrobud returned, earned these cracks.

oleksandr sergienko, in addition to all the geological difficulties, connects the beginning of the flow with chaotic construction right on the subway and around it. the city authorities admitted that this area had been a problem for 12 years, but they continued to issue permits for the construction of high-rises and huge shopping centers, saying that seepage was controlled and... critical the situation happened suddenly, and independent experts doubt it. it is impossible not to notice the destruction of the waterproofing, it does not happen at one moment, that is, it was most likely seepage, there was a trickle, droplets, then a trickle. most likely, those who bypassed the tunnels, they observed it, but for some reason did not take any action. they were silent probably because of the underfunding of the transport infrastructure of multimillion-dollar kyiv - says maksym bakhmatov. in the 19th year, he was a councilor. nickname, but then they did not see eye to eye, and now criticizes the mayor for the neglect of the infrastructure. for 10 years , the bridge to troeshchyna, the emergency metro bridge, and

the paton bridge have not been completed. emergency, the southern emergency bridge, the first two are the fifth level of emergency, they can no longer be used, they must be closed, the budget of kyiv for 10 years is uah 500 billion, next year they approved uah 84 billion, this is the largest post-military budget in the country, adds, instead of repairing existing bridges and overpasses, which have long since expired , new and new ones are being built in kyiv objects, such as the recent scandalous junction on... bogatyrska for uah 2 billion, it is needed, but at the same time the old one must be put in order, the engineer dmetro makagon does not recall large-scale capital repairs in the subway, only cosmetic and decorative ones are highlighted money for, well, again , it's some kind of scam, do you remember, before the eurovision, we had the left bank reconstructed there for many millions, they just added some cladding, then we had raw materials there.

lukyanivka was also updated, but it's all visual. for 9 months, the 23rd expenses 3.5 billion hryvnias are given to the metropolitan police, they say, most of this amount goes to salaries and electricity, as well as maintenance and operation of networks. the problem is that passenger traffic still hasn't recovered after covid, and this is affecting profits. as for current and major repairs, these funds are included in the subway fares , we carry them out on our own, if the works of a general nature are connected with restoration, then this is financed by the city, while there was no such need, but if it will be , we usually turn to the city, i don't at all i know where these questions come from, regarding the improper condition there or any flooding there or anything else regarding the tunnels, they do not exist, all the tunnels in our country are in a satisfactory technical condition, how much it will cost to restore the tunnel on demiivska, it is not yet known, dmytro bespalov predicts that tens of millions of euros, technologically the works are very complex, where the city

will take these funds is also a question. and i looked at the project, or rather the already adopted budget of kyiv for the 24th year, there is nothing about the liquidation of the sinkhole, the closing of the subway and so on, that is, they will have to redistribute money, take from other articles, most likely it will be at the expense of other infrastructure, for example, i can assume that it will be at the expense of the podilsky bridge, it is logical, and at the expense of the metro to vynogradar. on the 24th , the metro has planned a major overhaul of another run on the blue street. between taras shevchenko and pochayn stations. now they are making project documentation and they promise that during the repair the movement of trains will not be stopped, just like on the red branch, when the supports of the emergency metro bridge will be strengthened, which is also planned next year. kyivans should prepare for the fact that such repairs will increase more and more. and the european subways are also old, they have long been overhauled , that is, they have already overhauled them, and they continue to do it, you know,

some section is selected, it is... overlapped, repaired, we will have to do the same, that is, we must be prepared that the kyiv metro will have to be closed in pieces for repairs, because the structures do not work indefinitely, but in european cities there is developed ground public transport and residents do not notice the repair of the metro, kyiv was already in traffic jams on the first day of the stop of part of the blue line, will they have time to repair the emergency exit on demiivska in six months? experts say that the station is not really deep, the people of kyiv really hope for it, but also... construction of a national military memorial cemetery, it is planned to be built near kyiv near gatny, next to the southern cemetery. the relevant law has already been voted by the parliament, the money is provided in the state budget, preparatory work is ongoing. but still for 10 years of the russian-ukrainian war, the only

place of ukrainian arlington. there is no place for our heroes to rest, many relatives keep their ashes at home for years with the hope of burying their loved ones with full military honors. more from vasyl safianyuk. lion, sensei. august. relatives of the dead volenivtsi residents of azov remember the fallen heroes during the planting of viburnum on the alley of memory in the capital. the fathers, wives, daughters and sons of the fallen defenders of mariupol would like... to be honored in the national military memorial cemetery, but also for the 10th year at the end of the second year of the russian-ukrainian war and at the end of the second year of the enemy's full-scale aggression , there is still no place for honoring the fallen heroes in our country, the former azov resident oleksandr kisilyshyn, whose son was killed by the russians in oksie, the volenivites, does not understand how much more time is needed, the officials have not done it, and now the delay - this is...
