the capital, earlier today flights from kramatorsk, lviv and kyiv in the direction of kherson will go to mykolaiv. as a result of the attack on the russian ship novocherkask , another ship went under the water. we are probably talking about the old uts-150 training ship of the russian invaders. radio svoboda writes about it. at the same time, it is known that at the time of the attack, the bay was occupied. files , there were almost 80 sailors on board the large amphibious ship of the black sea fleet of the russian federation. the russian media write that ammunition hit the bow of the ship, there was a powerful explosion and a fire. immediately after the strike, the fate of 57 crew members and 16 people unloading ammunition was also in question. and in russia, they complain about the attack by drones, allegedly ukrainian. drones

flew over the belgorod and rostov regions - the russian media write. residents of the city of volgodonsk complained about explosions and loud noises on social networks. the ministry of defense of the aggressor country said that two drones were shot down by air defense. the local authorities are still clarifying the consequences. 80 combat clashes took place at the front during days the enemy attacked in seven directions, the hottest near avdiivka. our howls. repulsed 29 enemy attacks, in the maryansk direction , the ukrainian military continues to hold back the enemy in the novomykhaivka districts, repulsed seven assault attempts there, the general staff reported. our aircraft struck 17 enemy concentration areas and five anti-aircraft missile complexes. meanwhile, our missile forces hit three enemy concentration areas, a control post, two artillery systems and three important ones. targets

of the enemy, he was born in the city of dnipro, his life was almost a continuous holiday, but in 2014 everything changed dramatically. things have changed, rustam mustafayev, chief sergeant of counter-attack uavs of the 47th separate mechanized brigade , has been defending the independence of our country at the front for seven years. we look at his story further. in the distant civilian past, rustam mustafayev was an organizer of mass events, and today he is fighting the russian occupiers at the front and defending the life of every ukrainian. during the revolution of dignity, he created a volunteer organization and began to help. military, in in 2015, he himself went into service. as a volunteer at first, i traveled, helped the guys, got to know the guys, and somehow everything turned around like that, well, i sat, looked, there are arms, legs, why am i not there, why am i here, without me it can

be organized, and i went to the service . rustam serves in the 47th separate mechanized brigade, which not only stops the russian offensive, but also counterattacks, liberating ukrainian settlements from occupation. since 2015 , he has visited almost all regions where active hostilities are taking place. first , the counteroffensive brigade was thrown at zaporizhia direction. after a successful, slow, not as fast as most wanted, but a slow successful counterattack. the brigade showed itself well, and then, during the escalation in the odiiv direction, we were transferred in full to the ovid direction. now we are holding back the enemy there and... fighting for our land. the 47th separate mechanized brigade hits the enemy with kamikaze drones. today, drones not only replace reconnaissance, but are also used by fighters as guided missiles. with the help of drones, the military clears the positions of the occupiers before the approach of our infantrymen. however

, all the copters they have are the help of citizens and volunteers. unfortunately, in general , such a concept as a kamikaze drone is not in service in the armed forces of ukraine. and they are not purchased as it is from our enemy, our enemy simply receives them in batches of tens of thousands, they are issued, they are issued simply as shells, simply as a staff need, unfortunately we do not have this yet. despite the pain, fatigue and losses, the fighters of the 47th brigade still find reasons for joy. we have the best moments in our service are when we are either tangential, or our unit is tangential, or we personally participate in the destruction. manpower or equipment and or some means of the enemy, this is the best for us, for us there is no weekend, no concept of day and night, no concept of celebrating somewhere, going to something. a full-scale russian invasion landed rustam in the hospital, he had reason to discharge himself from the service, but decided to stay in

the army and returned to the front. it is necessary not only to believe in victory, but also to help the military as much as possible. if you can't fight, you must help those who can fight. well, there is no other way. rustam gives a short answer to the question of how russia's war against ukraine should end. no agreements, only the victory of ukraine. the espressu tv channel together with the public organization baza ua is collecting funds for atvs to transport the wounded and other needs of the 93rd separate mechanized brigade of the armed forces of ukraine to kholodny yar. in extremely difficult conditions, the ukrainian military makes a choice every day. victory without leaving wounded comrades on the battlefield, there will be evacuation with atvs faster, easier, and therefore the chances of saving the wounded are greater. in general, our goal is uah 800,000. with your help, we have already collected more than 700 uah. there is very little left to

finish this collection, so support, do not remain indifferent. you can now see all the details on your screens. the eu plans to provide ukraine with 20 billion euros. bypassing hungary's ghetto, as the financial times writes, the scheme will provide that eu countries will provide guarantees for the european budget, which will allow the european commission to attract up to 20 billion euros in capital markets to support ukraine. the terms and the final amount will be determined according to the needs of ukraine. this does not require guarantees from all 27 eu member states. it is sufficient that the main participants include countries with the highest credit ratings. and in the capital of serbia and belgrade , thousands of people once again came out to another protest organized by the opposition with the demand to cancel the elections that took place in early december. the opposition alliance serbia against violence, which came second in

the general election, accused the ruling serbian progressive party of large-scale falsification of election results. the opposition organized daily pre-election protests. commission on sunday evening, the protests turned into clashes. the police detained 38 people. a new carol with that name in lviv from there was a christmas event. the author of the idea and director nataliya polovynka prepared updated folk songs in an unusual interpretation. the actors of the theater center "slovo y holos" sang old carols, hymns and psalms. the events on stage were accompanied by video art created by artist serhiy savchenko. for one more spectators are invited to the christmas carol on december 27 and 29. this is such a renewal ritual. of the children of this ukrainian land, in this pain, in this confusion and despair

in which we are, in this time of war, we have this stronghold and we have this flower in us, at the same time, the fortress that the newborn christ child carries, we, as carolers, we sing carols, and thereby glorify christ, and tell people that he was born. this is all the news on... this hour you will find more interesting and relevant information on our website espresso.tv, as well as in our social networks. next, my colleagues lesya vakulyuk and andriy saichuk are waiting for you on the air. that's the end of the issue. dear friends, we are returning to the ether, continuing our marathon and at this... this hour , always at the beginning of this hour, i remind you about the collection, and today i want not only to remind you, but

also to thank you for your incredible activity, for yesterday, we dear friends, together with you we raised about uah 68,000, well, if you think about it, in two days you and i raised more than uah 100,000, and i remind you that we are actually collecting for such a device, this is a battery station, which works on solar... panels, it works like a generator in field conditions, helps our military to recharge their military equipment, which is then below moskal. so join in, please, 5375, 41/12, 0837 2065. yesterday i calculated that if on average you and i collect about 30 thousand uah, then by sunday we will close this collection, well... but you are moving at such a pace that now, according to my calculations, we

need to collect about 20 and a half thousand hryvnias every day so that we have 1,220,000 in order to finally close this collection, because already now we have 1,999.259 hryvnias and 32 kopecks, so we lack some 100, not even 120, less than 120 thousand. uah, dear friends, but i think that at this rate, if in two days we collected 100 00 uah, then 120, we will again collect very quickly, close this collection, buy these battery stations and hand them over to our defenders, so we will be grateful for every hryvnia, and now oleksandr skoryk, deputy of the kharkiv regional council, is in touch with us, we will join him in our conversation, mr. oleksandr, to... good morning, is he good in kharkiv oblast, how did you sleep, was everything calm? good morning!

for ukrainians, good morning is good, because we live in a free country, and we are freedom-loving people, some of us were flying around the region at night, at 2 o'clock in the morning there was an alarm, it lasted for several hours, and then i understand that our glorious armed forces shahed's forces were defeated, and we slept peacefully, so the night passed peacefully, after the upcoming holidays, all this year a very large number of people celebrated christmas on december 25, which makes us incredibly happy, because the ukrainian nation is getting closer to the free world, and together with the whole free world celebrates as, as it should be on december 25, i... news from the institute of war studies, which studies the allocation data of the location of russian,

in particular, troops, and they report that , that there are certain advances of the russians near kupyansk, and oleg sinigubov, the head of the military-civilian administration, regional military administration, also said that about a hundred people are being evacuated from kupyansk every day, which is now there... mr. oleg sinigubov was christmas celebration in john's temple theologian together with the head of the regional council and the mayor . i was surprised to congratulate the parishioners on this holiday, so i am very happy that today the church together with the people and together with the orthodox church of ukraine celebrates such the greatest holidays, he gave a comment, we talked with him on this topic, in fact the situation in the kupinsky direction is quite

complicated , and there are constant active hostilities . i can’t confirm about the advance, because the populated areas are constantly being shelled and it is necessary to periodically do almost every day evacuation, and it is carried out there by the local local authorities according to the schedule. yesterday there was a report that a person was killed by artillery fire in some village, well, you understand, it's just a front line that is dynamic all the time. is moving and brutal hostilities are taking place, plus we constantly see in the reports that russian aircraft are taking off and they are constantly releasing guided aerial bombs in the kupinsky district, so the general general alarm is spreading over the entire kharkiv region, and we can directly see that it

could be seven - eight times that message, but we understand that behind every bomb, which is really scary from the point of view of being a weapon, someone's life may be at stake, so the situation is quite difficult, but according to the words of the head ova, it is controlled, and our military, our military understands the plan of their actions and the plan of defense of the kupyan-lyman direction, and i , you are talking about the fact that many people of kharkiv celebrated, celebrated rizdo. we're on the 25th, and that's a very good sign indeed, at the same time, if you're to believe open dad boot, which cites government statistics, since the beginning of the great war , not a single parish of the moscow patriarchate of the kharkiv region transferred to the ocu, there is such a fact, i confirm it, but

today we have negotiations with more than ten parishes. of the moscow patriarchate, the so-called ukrainian orthodox church in ukraine, and i think that in the near future we will receive positive news from the kharkiv region about the transition to reunification with the orthodox church of ukraine, with the ecumenical patriarchate, with the entire free world, those churches that today, unfortunately, are still subordinated, of the moscow patriarchate, they call themselves independent, but in fact it is... the ukrainian orthodox church, which is a russian branch in ukraine, and this is proven there by all, all legislative acts, lawsuits and so on, court decisions and so on, look, well exactly, if we take the population of kharkiv region, during this time of war, i think that

more than 50% changed their vision to russia, to the russian... church to the moscow patriarchate, and now simply, i think that a push is needed so that one of which powerful of the first communities came and they will simply all move on, it's a matter of time, and i , for example, am also a supporter of it being a balanced decision, so that there are no violent feelings, nothing, it should be a decision of the community , which comes from ... from them, from the heart, because believers must figure it out for themselves and give their superior this recommendation that they want to be in the bosom of the orthodox church of ukraine, in the bosom of the ecumenical patriarchate, but unfortunately, there we have today constant propaganda that that the moscow church in ukraine, it is independent, that they constantly

position themselves there as its practically. separate from a separate patriarchate, but in fact, the truth is that it is one, it is not going anywhere , the ukrainian orthodox church in ukraine, it is a branch of the moscow patriarchate, the orthodox, the russian orthodox church, all because they have one patriarch, and it is not possible, you know , there is simply to leave the patriarchate, to say, i will now conduct my services separately, because i decided there... to separate, it does not work like that in the church diocese, there is a clear, clear diocese, and there is a clear understanding of who belongs to whom, so i think that the question of the kharkiv region is the same for me too... the statistics are for me and for people who are kharkiv residents, who are positively patriotic , and even now they are almost all of them patriotic and positive, because

kharkiv suffered a lot from russian aggression, and even such people who were there before the full-scale invasion were sometimes supporters of the russian world, somewhere they somehow impressed the russian world, now they are categorically, categorically against it. understand that this is an enemy, an enemy that wants to kill us, an enemy that wants to seize the territory, and everyone already understands this perfectly well, and everyone understands that the church is one of the elements of propaganda, elements of the struggle, so i believe that the moscow patriarchate should not to be in the territory of ukraine, not at all, there may be somewhere, i know, there at the embassy, ​​if there is one, but no more, i think that people will figure it out, and i believe that people will figure it out. and they will understand that it is necessary to celebrate on december 25, as in the whole world, that we will have a baptism on the sixth, and not on the 19th and so

further, i think that the ukrainian people, they are very wise, very wise, and they will figure it all out, mr. oleksandr, ukrainian christmas, it has so many challenges, besides the fact that now somehow ukrainians have to be convinced to... celebrate december 25, as the ukrainians did before 1917, because we had already celebrated together with the whole world once, well , and then one such country decided that we should witness in a different way, moreover, decided that we should not celebrate christmas at all, if so dig at all, because in the soviet union christmas was forbidden, and now many people are talking about the fact that we do not celebrate christmas, why are we there, after all... we do not believe in god, we celebrate the new year, although this is exactly what russia, the soviet union, tried to do, to replace the traditional ukrainian christmas with such

a product that they invented, for this they invented other 12 dishes, so to speak, olivier, canned fish, sandwiches with sashimi, champagne instead of uzvar, well, in a word, how to make such a substitute therapy as in kharkiv with a bucket? traditions, who more than those who celebrate christmas and believe that christmas is the most important thing a holiday, as in the end it is civilized in the world , because the new year is something like that, a holiday where people gather for some parties, but it is definitely not the most important family holiday of the year, or even those who think that this is how we celebrated, because that's how our parents celebrated, because generations have already been brought up, long generations, who believed that the new year is something more important. i believe that we have not yet had time to adjust to the fact that christmas is

the biggest holiday among our population, so i think that the new year will be celebrated more pompously and more massively, because there is there is such a habit, there is such a tradition, but look , the key issue must be resolved once and for all, that in our country christmas is on december 25, and christmas is in our country on january 7, and people must clearly define for themselves who they are with, how they, and the new year is still more of a mass, mass holiday, before it, by the way, as you rightly said, they were tamed, tamed in the soviet period, you know, when... in the soviet period we have , for example, there was a practice when on january 14 they went to sprinkle, then the hands of the children at school were checked to see if they had them there

pockets at the expense of whether they have no grain there, which they sprinkled, it was very forbidden, and the soviet union, the soviet union, the soviet union fought against this, and do you remember when they simply imposed on us instead of... nicholas some pseudo santa claus, whom we do not understand, what kind of santa claus is there, and where did he come from, what is his history, if we have st. nicholas, who for centuries we celebrate, know and honor him in the orthodox world, propaganda, unfortunately, has done its dark work on a large scale, and people, especially the elderly, they they believe that there is a new year, it is a holiday... more important than christmas, but it is a matter of time and a short period of time will pass, and christmas, as

it should be. should be the second holiday in the church diocese after easter, and it will be the greatest holiday of all ukrainians, of all people, so it is a matter of time, i think that everything will be, everything will be fine, mr. oleksandr, i would like to ask you about the last thing about mobilization, oleg synigubov he actually confirmed that the mobilization actions in the city, which are distributed ... actively, have already begun subpoenas in public places, in sports clubs, in gyms and so on, he said at the briefing. meanwhile, i read that, for example , the director of the road construction department of the kharkiv city council, dmytro lypovyi, complains, saying that they want to open, for example, a tram route from saltivka to the kharkiv tractor plant, if i understand the khtz correctly, and says that there is problem with finding 10 drivers because. i quote

the director of the department: trolleybus and tram drivers do not have armor as such, that's why people are in no hurry to go to work, we are looking for people, but it will not be easy to find them, well, here are similar ones who write that there are also announcements for car locksmiths, car painters, electricians, welders and so on, subways, that people are afraid to go to legal work, because they are afraid that they will be immediately mobilized and from... sent to the front, and this is happening against the background of the fact that on december 25, let me remind you, for christmas, the government of shmyhal and president zelenskyi brought us a gift in the form of an unnegotiated and unspoken draft law on mobilization you know, it is very difficult to comment on this issue, because the situation with mobilization is practically catastrophic, in my opinion, such increased mobilization will lead

to the fact that... that the economic indicators of enterprises simply both in the country and in the region, in kharkiv, and not only in kharkiv, throughout ukraine , the economy can simply stop, because, as you rightly said , there are no people to work for, we have been constantly sending people to the front for almost two years, they are constantly being mobilized, mobilized, mobilized, no one returns returns, because if they do, there is an isolated case. then these are people with practical disabilities and or seriously injured and it is very difficult for them to work at enterprises. today, people have no motivation to mobilize, this is the first, second, all those who were volunteers, they went to the front a long time ago, unfortunately, a large number of them died, the third point, there is no

motivational part, well, for example, maybe it is inappropriate take an example from our enemies, but when signing a contract, they pay a certain amount, there from 5 to 7 thousand dollars depending on the region, we have no motivation to go to the army, it is absent, and the most important thing is that with such, with such tough mobilization conditions... mobilization conditions, now our enterprises will simply stop, and as the president said there, that we need six, six working in the economy for one military man, then i do not understand where we will take those six working in the economy, i absolutely want to state that such a mobilization policy will lead to a collapse in the economy and may lead to irreversible consequences, consequences

will be the worst, that the economy won't work, then we won't understand how the people we mobilized, how we will provide them with the same food, the same weapons, the same deception and everything else. a very difficult situation, i believe that we are not on the right path, we need motivation for people, we need provision for people, and we need to have a rotation, so that the people who... have been fighting for two years practically, they are hostages of the situation, they came voluntarily, they are hostages of the situation, they are not released, and we cannot, from the economy, constantly give people, constantly give, give, give, no one comes to replace them, everything, uh, we will simply stop and the situation will be catastrophic, a catastrophic situation, we must at least it would be a good idea to start discussing it, but i already

understand that deputies will be appointed. now before e, so to speak
