oleksandr, we would also like to ask you about the atrocity that was already recorded in the prosecutor general's office, it is about the shooting by the russians. what do you know in general about this blatant incident, are there any new details of this case, so to speak, if you can share, then please, i can, i can say that the bodies of the fallen soldiers were taken away, evacuated from that place, also by the investigative department of the security service of ukraine criminal proceedings have been opened in the zaporizhzhia region, preliminary... circumstances are such that near the working y violation of the article of the third geneva convention on the treatment of prisoners of war, as well as other norms of international humanitarian law, the persons from among the servicemen of the armed forces of the russian federation or other

military formations of the state aggressor, who deliberately killed persons protected in the armed conflict, have not yet been established, namely. .. the bodies of three military personnel of the airborne assault troops who were disbanded as a result of being captured, as i have already said, the fallen defenders, were evacuated. mr. colonel, well, and accordingly, maybe they hinted, yes, how powerful we should expect the activation of the enemy on the eastern front, so we understand. that we cannot consider some directions of their activity to be genuine, it is possible that this is an attempt to divert our resources, so that we can try to develop other offensive activities, but in any case, if we roughly estimate their offensive potential on

the next couple of months in the east, in the tauri direction, we do not give forecasts, we do not want to evaluate, because it is... a war and to predict something, for this there is intelligence, it we monitor everything, there is a command that plans everything, predicts, reveals what we know, well, it is done for the enemy for his intelligence, the case is live. thank you, oleksandr shtupun, the spokesman of the united press center of the defense forces of the tavria region, a colonel of the armed forces of ukraine, was in touch with us. we thank mr. oleksandr for the opportunity. to get on the air from the press and in the meantime we will have a short break, but i would now like to quote the minister of social policy oksana zhilnovych, who suggested that in the absence of international financial assistance, pension indexation may not take place in 2024, she stated this

on the air of the telethon, and here is actually a quote from zholnovich, i want to reassure all pensioners who receive an old-age pension, because most of the pension income and income distributed by the pension fund , it is on... internal revenues, which are provided by our ukrainian taxpayers, in particular , our military, since they all pay the euv, our pension fund is stable on ukrainian funds, she explained according to zholnovich, in connection with this, there should be no problems with the payment of pensions. well , in the meantime , the verkhovna rada commissioner for human rights, dmytro lubinets, said that he agreed with the ministry of defense that the law on mobilization be adopted without violating basic rights, which would be contrary to the constitution. according to our obutsman lubynets, it is necessary to understand that in the conditions of a full-scale war and martial law , the constitution allows limiting the rights of citizens, while the basic constitutional rights in the draft law on mobilization cannot be violated you can, i'm quoting lubinets now. there are some

norms that contradict the constitution, but yesterday there was a working meeting with representatives of the ministry of defense, where we already reached a certain compromise on how to ensure and comply with the law on mobilization. on human rights. the ombudsman noted that before the document is introduced to the hall, an expert assessment will be provided by his department, and the bill will go through a specialized committee, but we should not interfere with the survivors. country and the replenishment of the army, here we have to rely on the opinion of the military command, this is how he summarized his comment ukrainian ombudsman. well, we're going to take a break for a few minutes, then we'll be back, so stay with us, the espresso information marathon continues. turn on well - it's when everything is as you want. click, and you are in the world of cartoons, click and... the circle of the movie universe, next? oh, what is needed! megogo, turn on

and the pentagon, i quote: publicly state that there have been no official changes in policy, but together with the ukrainians, the officials of the united states and europe, as if discussing, yes so to speak, a change in strategy from a counteroffensive to a stronger defensive position, according to a representative of the biden administration and a european... diplomat, these efforts include the strengthening of air defense systems, the construction of fortifications, as well as anti-tank barriers and ditches along ukraine's northern border with belarus, the white house will also focus on more. arms production in ukraine , and a representative of the administration told the american agency politico that much of this strategic transition is aimed at strengthening ukraine's position for any future negotiations, because the only way to end the war ultimately is, according to politico's source, this negotiations, that's the story,

well, we already have yevgenia virlych, the editor-in-chief of the kherson publication cavun city, we welcome you to espresso, ms. yevgenia, i congratulate you, ms. yevgenia, please share with us the latest relevant information from the kherson region, as far as it is now a difficult situation with shelling, we know that the russians regularly attack the kherson region and the city of kherson, in particular, the day before yesterday we had a terrible situation with the shelling of the station during the evacuation of people, in a word, please tell us what the situation is today in the kherson region, well actually globally nothing changes. for several months, the russians have been shelling the city and the region very heavily, the coastal zone is suffering a lot, as well as antoniivka, sadove - these are villages that are located in the territorial community, the city, in kherson, bereslav, tyaginka, all these communities, as were fired upon, and continue to be fired upon by the russians,

the russians severely damaged the station, the station building was badly damaged later. of course, it is real, but they destroyed it very much, the shelling continues, the night was very loud, traditionally, in general, every night in it is very noisy in the city, the russians are shelling both day and night, but at night there is an impression, according to the reviews of local residents, what i hear in the phone, in phone calls, it is simply that they say in direct text that the impression is that every night is against us.. . are using everything that is left , that is, these are very heavy, powerful shellings that begin with darkness , do not dry up in the morning, well, in fact, every morning is again a continuation, and it is very, very difficult to determine now what is pouring and how, so that in the last month the townspeople began to hear some unusual sounds, maybe new, maybe it's

somehow related to weather changes, because the sound is different, or maybe it's some other weapon. mrs. yevgenia, well, if we talk about the consequences of this barbaric shelling of the kherson evacuation train, right? perhaps there is already final information about the victims and, in general, did they stay in kherson or were they evacuated to other cities of ukraine? there is information about one dead policeman who is from kropyvnytskyi or kirovohrad oblast. he died during the evacuation of residents, there are two injured. on time shelling, about 140 people were at the station, it was an evacuation train, of course, all the people were waiting, and all those who were not injured safely reached kyiv the next day without delay, that is, they were already in kyiv at 7:20 in the morning, they were taken by buses to mykolaiv, they have already ferried from there to kyiv, and

currently the trains that run to kherson will arrive in mykolaiv, already from mykolaiv. it will be possible to get to kherson by other transport, because the railway track is very badly damaged. ms. yevgenia, we understand that the situation with the evacuation of the population, most likely someone reported to the occupiers, and here, you know, it causes such a feeling, of course, this whole situation, that they started shooting there so accurately and so timely, just when there were people who were supposed to get into this wagon, yes, there were four wagons, and the shelling began immediately. is there anything known about who could have carried out this attack? you know, the situation with guidance in the city is generally very complicated, it seems that they are really leading, because the shelling, they were targeted, in fact, because they were shelling the houses of civilians residents were fired at hospitals, schools , it is impossible to do this without aiming, without adjusting the aimed fire, but

recently, when they aimed at several humanitarian headquarters, when they aimed at the station where... the people were not in the empty building of the station, but you are right , there were already a lot of people there, the citizens of mystria say that all these shellings are the adjustment of fire, they are targeted shelling, someone is sitting in the city, correcting these shellings, of course, it is difficult to find humanitarian headquarters here, because in principle the addresses are already people have known for a long time anyone could have adjusted, but whoever adjusted the station, the townspeople are sure that this is an adjustment... and i also support this opinion, because when evacuation trains are sent, which cars are evacuation, the general public does not know if the departure. it is possible to calculate, because a lot of people leave and come, which cars will stand where, it could only be adjusted, however, a criminal case

has been opened, law enforcement officers are working, we do not have any other information yet. mrs. evgenia, look, i would also like to ask you about what is possible, what can be talked about, in particular , it is about the left bank, maybe you have some, so to speak, non-secret, non-confidential information, well... what, for example, they are talking about in kherson or what can be observed, for example, across the dnipro on the left bank? well, there is not much that can be observed, because if earlier it was possible to calmly look at the left bank, and there with optical devices of some kind, today it is very dangerous. there is information coming from there that the russians are said to be surrounding the communities and conducting searches. however, the russians now there is a lot of panic about the fact that their collaborators are running away with the money,

and that is, there is a lot of panic there, those fortifications of ours that they are talking about, yes, the locals confirm them, that is, all the information that is officially received about the situation in the krinkas and around, local people confirm it, however, life there on the shore ... is becoming more and more unbearable due to the agony of the russians , and they are now preparing for the election of putin and searches of buildings, again kidnapping people, and these rounds of houses with the collection of signatures in support of the current president of russia from december 27 to 31, they have to collect such and such legislation, they go around the houses and rob the place. what is going on in and around the mines, maybe there is some information about the intensity, at least the fighting there? everything is very difficult there, as such a village

of krynka does not exist anymore, because everything that we could demolish, was demolished, very loudly, there are no people around either, if there are, then it is only a few, and they are constantly going on there, because if kherson is constantly they are shelling, but in the crimea the fighting is constantly going on... the communication there is very bad and the sounds are always very, very loud from there, who hear, in particular in the de-occupied territories. mrs. yevgenia, we have literally one and a half minutes, i would like to clarify with you whether after this attack on the train station the people of kherson themselves are not so much aware, scared, because they are already used to it , but in general, what is the mood of the population in kherson, in the kherson region, what are people talking about? in general, does this scare them... of course, people can't get used to this, but despite the fact that , for example, there was no connection and water and electricity for the whole of the city, the key phrase

of the locals, if not with the russians , i.e. people they are trying to get used to this way of life, they help each other, the townspeople have a lot of support for each other, that is why people support the armed forces of ukraine, that is, everything is fine here. thank you for your sincere answers, yevgenia virlych , editor-in-chief of the kherson publication cavuon city, was in touch with us, we talked about the situation in kherson region and on the left bank of kherson region, in particular, and actually, well, the situation is not easy, we understand that the russians cheat very hard and suffer from it as well civilian people the russian special operation on the polish border blocked almost 600 km of the border that connects ukraine with europe. fifty people are hidden and behind them is an extensive network of agents of influence, who are they, what were their statements about ukraine before, what russian narratives are they promoting now, what

is really happening on the polish border and how to unlock the corridor of life for ukraine. answers to these questions in the documentary pro-russian operation on the polish border, the author of the skirmish. mykola knyazhytskyi carefully studied the situation, fought on both sides of the border, met with government officials asked the ukrainian ministries in the film about the real reasons for the target, about the real reasons for the target, declared and hidden, about the influence of the political confrontation inside poland and the reasons for the inaction of the previous government, see mykola mykola knyazhytskyi on youtube, the tape can be seen on espresso tv channel this saturday december 30 at 9:30 p.m. i will watch, because i am also interested in understanding what the situation is actually happening. the blockade has been in place for more than a month now, we have been seeing some blatant things, one and a half hundred people are essentially blocking the gates of ukraine to europe, because it was poland that became the country

that... helped us at the beginning of the war, so let's watch the announcement together. we are in the polish sejm, right here in this place a few days ago there was a hanukiya for hanukkah, this hanukiya was scandalously extinguished with a fire extinguisher by dzegos braun. at the same time, he injured a woman who wanted to stop him. dzhegush braun is one of... the leaders of the protests on the polish-ukrainian border and one of the initiators of these protests. everything that this pro-russian party does, it does at the hands of moscow. why did they try to create a scandal here in the diet on that day, because on that day the new tusk government came to power. why do they block ukrainian military goods and ukrainian economic goods at the border, because it is in the interests of russia to quarrel between our two peoples, this is discussed in our film.

four slovaks and several dozen poles blocked the almost 600 km long border. eastern borders of nato, some unknown people control all military cargo.

it didn’t happen, don’t let the gentleman take it off, okay, we poles should, like everyone else, benefit from this conflict, and not just be a strategic bumper, we have a hot situation on the ukrainian-polish border, there is a war, dill will never be close to me, never won't be my brother, it's time to cut off this gangrene, we came here to ravorusk to the ukrainian-polish border, you see, there are almost no trucks, because all ukrainian trucks, that is, trucks, are on that side. they are blocked by unworthy polish politicians and polish people carriers backlogs, they are already estimated in direct losses in the region of 400 million dollars, in indirect losses already several billions. the poles are not our friends, but only occasional allies. they only helped ukraine out of fear, nothing more. we have few enemies in slovakia and hungary. what are we doing these provocations for? the party of law and justice

has lost power and is trying to solve its problems in this way, because the real purpose of this blockade is to help the aggressor country to destroy us. band in our relationship with... we always lose when we compete with each other, and russia always wins in this situation. so, we remind you that you can see this film on spresso on saturday, december 30 at 9:30 p.m. well, now the time for news on espresso has passed, anna eva melnyk and the news editor have already prepared the latest and most relevant information, so they are ready to share it with you. so

we will pass the floor to anya. and actually tell what you will talk about in this hour. greetings, colleagues, thank you for your work, the news team continues to work, we will talk about the most important thing for the moment, and i will start this issue with the fact that takes place in kharkiv region. be with us. the russians bombed the village of hlushkivka. four women were injured in kharkiv oblast. one of them was hospitalized. this was reported to the regional police. as a result of the impact, four private houses were destroyed. emergency services are on site. the russians also shelled vovchansk, a car caught fire, and a 6-year-old woman died of her injuries in the hospital.
