in the occupied territories, but where are we really at the end of the 23rd year? towards the end of the 23rd year, sorry, but russia is very proud of the fact that it was able to stop our advance. the former superpower, the second army of the world, considers it a huge achievement after a year of fighting that they, as it were, restrained our advance and did not allow themselves to be thrown into the background, and in order to achieve such an ambitious goal, they had to go on the largest mobilization since the second world war . i checked, by the way, according to real sources, for any war there, neither in afghanistan, nor in chechnya, for any war after 1945, no neither the soviet union nor russia mobilized so many people, so they are the biggest mobilizers after didivali, and they were able to hold back the khakhlyat onslaught, well, excuse me, we switched roles with them, in case anyone didn't notice, but they didn't press that hard, there weren't enough resources, at the same time, both material and human, and now there is a task with... these resources

in order to squeeze them in the 24th year. the air alert is sounding over ukraine, follow the map for these updates. mr. yevgeny, well , the question will be about mobilization, but already in in ukraine, the draft law, which is actually being discussed so actively, which raises so many questions , there are political factions who said that they do not support it in the form in which it is now, there are indeed topics about which the most claims are conditionally, let's say, ukrainians expert environment, how do you evaluate it, and the mobilization of ukraine in... the country of 2024, what it should be from your point of view, for example, this draft law is still at the discussion stage, even though the document already exists, well, let's start from the fact that this the draft law should have been discussed more than a year ago, but this draft law and the mass mobilization itself as such have already been delayed by a year plus, we are currently catching up with the train that left, here is our discussion with you, the discussion around the draft bill, they had from...

to take place in the fall of 22nd year, but actually the intrigue persisted until september of last year, whether putin would go on a mass mobilization or not, but from the moment he went on it in september of last year, well, in fact, it was absolutely obvious that we too not to avoid and it was better to start right away, well, there are certain laws that you simply cannot jump over, in order to be able to fight the enemy with much smaller forces than yours, you must have an absolute... technological advantage, if you have the difference, like the american army with the taliban, well, then there is no problem, then yes, you can send one sergeant john rambo there, who at the same time has direct satellite communication, which can call in air support at any moment, call missile strike, where to him it is necessary, but it is possible to send him alone against ten mujahideen on donkeys and jeeps with rp-7, well, i think it is absolutely clear to everyone that we do not have such an advantage with russia, we are fighting as one. categories, we fight with the weapons of one

generation, which can be conventionally called the disco of the 80s, but with a small addition of more modern systems, some systems are better in ours, some are better in theirs, but this is absolutely one weight category, from this it simply follows logically that and the number of fighters should be commensurate, that's why russia just started mass mobilization, we would have to do the same thing, we instead again, as with the preparations for this great war, we again chose the position of strauss, who is burying his head in the sand. yuhan, i have to stop you here, we have an operational situation and we will return to the topic of mobilization discussion, as a result of rocket attacks on kharkiv in the kyiv region , the hospital building was damaged, said the head of the national police of the kharkiv region, volodymyr tymoshko. mayor terikhov wrote that kharkiv was fired upon by two types of missiles, the s300 and the kh-22. director of the civil service department protection of the kharkiv regional military administration, ivan sokol joins our broadcast at this moment, my greetings to you. good morning, if you can call it good. this is a traditional greeting, so i think

there is no need to cling to it, as it were. tell me, please, what is the situation in kharkiv as of now, what is known, actually, what was attacked, why are there flights? as of 9 a.m., it is known that the previous 22 hits in the city of kharkiv, as you have already reported, indicated, there is damage to a medical facility, there is damage to businesses. at the moment there is information about 11 victims, unfortunately , there is also information about the dead, the services are working on the ground, the state emergency service is working , medical assistance is being provided, what is known about the injured people as of now, how many people have contacted, not contacted, whether already information about the need for resettlement, by 90 in the morning information about...

resettlement, there is no immediate resettlement, perhaps where the stock of residential buildings is damaged, they are already working on the preconceived notion of consequences, blocking the window, calculating the current ones. repairs, relevant services, and regarding the victims , what i mentioned earlier, at 9 in the morning, 11 people sought medical help, and please tell me more, if you constantly assess the situation with the shelling of kharkiv, then today’s attack on the city, how can you to say, it is much more massive than they were before, conditionally there with the perspective of a month ago, with the perspective of six months ago, is it a familiar story for kharkiv, and it is familiar for kharkiv. history from the beginning of their mass bombings, you know the specifics, the specifics from 19 to one minute 30 from 19 seconds to one minute 30 seconds we have an approach of the s300 missile, so unfortunately this is the type of weapon that is very, very difficult

to deal with, and that's why they bother us very, very often, thank you, thank you for the prompt shutdown, director of the civil protection department. ivan sokol of the kharkiv regional military administration, the guest of our broadcast about the shelling of kharkiv, we talked in the morning. this is svoboda ranok, a project about important things. subscribe to our youtube channel and write in the comments what you think about those events happening, what is the situation in your city. yevhen dykiy has been in touch with us since the beginning of the broadcast, he will continue his opinion and his thesis about the mobilization in ukraine on the 24th, as it should be from his point of view. yes, yes, therefore, yes, finish, you and i had time to talk before the inclusion that this law was delayed by a year in general, how about you and i, how about two years ago we did not want to believe that there would be a big war at all, the whole world warned us, they even drew us maps,

arrows by which the occupiers would come to us, and they entered exactly along these arrows, but we did this until february 24, here i am in the house, that's it, i don't believe in it, i will fry kebabs, there won't be a big war... and why won't there be, or we don't want it , and we do not believe in it, but we, by the way, paid a terrible price for the fact that we did not prepare for this war and did not want to believe in it, but now, unfortunately, we have repeated the same story with mobilization, instead of , in order to calmly, just without nerves, having a spare time, to do this last fall, we tried to impregnate for a year, we tried for a year to live as if those who have already joined the armed forces , they have to fight this war for us, all the rest are already at home, well... it is absolutely logical that a miracle did not happen, we do not live in a caste, and in a year we anyway, we come to the point that oh, and it turns out that if the orcs mobilize half a million people, then we have nowhere to go, how to do the same, and this even causes some disapproval, causes some resistance, as you say, heated

discussions , so that the draft law, first of all , is catching up, and the sooner it is adopted, the better, but when you've already lost a year, it's already a couple of weeks to make up for it, it doesn't change much. e bill that has been introduced, in my opinion, is quite good, i would say that it is 90 percent as i would like to see it, but it is certainly worth finishing some things. first of all, two important things were included in this draft law, without which , in my opinion, nothing would have worked at all, the introduction of a maximum term of service during the war, so that a person does not buy a one-way ticket, because now it is just the way it is , if you're already wearing a pixel, then you're fighting, well... so, if the war ends in a year, great, if the war ends in 10 years, then you're just unlucky, that's all, finally the limit of service life is introduced, that is, no matter how long it lasts the war, and you have won back yours and are returning home, and you are being replaced by someone who was behind you, this is important, but this norm, in my opinion, still needs

to be improved, there is a term of service of 36 months, i.e. three years, it is objective necessity, we cannot afford less now, but service to service. are different, here you are you know, service, excuse me, is at zero in avdiivka, and service somewhere in rear logistics, in a warehouse or even there, even in a hospital, are completely different things, so in my opinion, we should leave this norm of 36 months of service here, but with that , so that the actual participation directly in the battles at ground zero is counted as a day for two or even a day for three, and then this norm will become absolutely perfect in general, then it will also satisfy the interests of the army, so that it is not necessary literally... in six months to demobilize a huge number of people , we cannot afford it, but at the same time it's time for those who have lost the most physical and mental health actually in the battles, and this is not the majority, in fact it is not always the majority of the army that fights, the majority provides them, but zero is the tip of the iceberg in fact, so in

fact, so that this tip iceberg, which most of all wants to be shortened for them in proportion to how much they fought. the second norm, which is very important there, is the imposition of a bunch of administrative... burdens on evaders, without this, it is necessary, i even understand, why will these norms be imposed directly by the military commissars, and not by the courts, no matter how good it might be, we will simply overburden the entire judicial system now. thousands of such cases , and it will collapse instantly, as a result there will be none at all, so yes, it is written correctly, but there is a nuance, if we give such a powerful weapon to the military commission, we give it, because there is no way out, so in this case we have to balance from potential abuses are possible. in this form, as it is now, this norm, where the military can literally block everything for a person by its decision, it needs balancing, firstly, by a quick appeal mechanism. that must be considered, and by some independent authority, and

secondly, by the introduction of punishment for the illegal application of these sanctions, then it will be properly balanced, because we are now giving every military officer, well, literally, nuclear weapons, without foreseeing no responsibility for the abuse of this weapon, we actually, in its current form, this norm literally encourages abuse, so this needs to be balanced and it is being balanced literally... another paragraph in the same law, but no, actually two paragraphs, one about appeals, one about punishment, and in this case, in my opinion, this law should be adopted, some details can be improved later then , but to finish, finish these two norms and vote, i thank you for your analysis, yevhendyky, a military expert, a guest of our broadcast, we had time to talk about everything and about the counteroffensive, which did not fully live up to the hopes of mobilization, of a missile attack on ukraine, because of extraordinary. 2017 uncertainty regarding the budget, prime minister of ukraine denys shmagal invited an emergency meeting with international

donors, referring to the prime minister's letter to the donors interagency coordination platform, writes bloomberg. journalists note that the letter indicates the need for funding already in january and it should be aimed at budgetary needs. the letter purports to say that more than $110 billion in aid has been held up by political infighting in the us and the european union, and now donors have to focus their assistance on financial support. government, salaries to teachers, civil servants and payment of pensions. to this end, shmehal is supposedly proposing to direct seized russian assets estimated at more than $300 billion. in a comment to the financial times, minister of economy yulia sveredenko stated that if ukraine's allies do not provide financial assistance, the salaries of up to half a million civil servants, almost 15 million teachers and 10 million pensioners will have to be withheld. instead, later the minister social policy oksana. zholnovich actually denied her colleague's statement and stated that there should be no problems with the payment of pensions,

but their indexation in 2024 may not take place, this is a very important topic, the topic of money for 2024, where it will be taken from or not, we will talk about it we will also talk today during the broadcast with our guest, but now we have kyiv and we return to the situation there, in kyiv, as a result of the russian attack, seven people were hospitalized, five of them in the shevchenkiv district, the mayor announced this city ​​vitaliy klitschko. but three people are under the rubble of a warehouse damaged by rocket fragments in the shevchenkivskyi district, three people have been found, the rescue operation is ongoing - said klitschko. i would like to remind you that the lukyanivska metro station building was damaged by the explosion. the station works as a shelter. trains follow the station without stopping - mayor klitschko reports. in the kyiv city military administration, they say that debris fell in the podilskyi and svyatoshynskyi districts, there is a fire in a residential building and warehouses premises mykola povoroznyk, first deputy. the head of the kyiv city state administration is currently joining our broadcast, i congratulate you, i congratulate you

, tell me how the capital survived this rocket attack, what is now known about the victims, about the victims, about the hits, and here is the apartment building that the telegram channels are posting, this is the rocket hit a residential building directly, it was debris that hit it, that's what we know, well, the majority, most of it, is debris, they concern svyatoshynsky and shevchenkivsky districts, now we continue analysis work for. for extinguishing fires , currently there is information about 17 victims, 16 of them are hospitalized, their lives are not in danger, rescuers, police, doctors, everyone is working now directly at the places of fires at the places of these hits, here the information will be constantly updated, because searchers the rescue work is not finished yet, about the station... dmytro, tell me what the situation is there, we know that it is also damaged,

it is not the first to be damaged, this is already the second, let's say, damage to this station, now the upper part, again , was damaged, it, well, everyone knows , it is practically made of glass, that's why now the station works exclusively as a shelter, passengers are not dropped off and boarded directly at this station , after being conducted... now all search and rescue operations, the police will do their job, we will clean up, we will try to restore traffic. how much do you estimate the mass of this rocket? but the attack on kiev, in comparison, i don’t know, maybe there , again, with a month of time from six months of time, because we are summing up the results of the year already somewhere in these last broadcasts of this year, that is, how massive was this attack? uh, here i would say in general about the massiveness of the attack throughout ukraine, because there is practically no city of regional importance, which would

not have been flown there this morning either or. we haven't heard any relevant news from there, to talk about the mass or not about the mass, well, the mass i can only say is what we said at the beginning, at the moment there are already 17 wounded, that's enough, thank god there are no casualties, but again i am talking about the fact that the search and rescue operation continues until now, all services are working now, that is, there may still be people under the rubble, there may, may be, where there are fires there... a large warehouse is on fire, access to it is still difficult, we will see after all the work is finished, and these workers were at the workplace, actually at this warehouse, the beginning of the working day, i personally was there just before a few minutes after it started there fire, it was blocked by additional

entrances there, how many people were there at the moment is unknown, god forbid that there is no one there, there was none. was at that time at the place of flight, because from there, there were two victims and quite a lot of people were nearby. thank you very much mr. mykola for enabling. mykola povoroznyk, the first deputy head of the kyiv city state administration, a guest of our broadcast, we talked about how the capital of ukraine, kyiv, survived a missile attack from the russian federation. and danylo hetmantsev joins our broadcast right now, we will talk with him about whether there is a threat to the budget of ukraine for 2024 or not. of this threat, all these statements that were voiced earlier, and also what to expect, i welcome you to our broadcast, congratulations, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, well, despite the fact that we are now actively discussing a missile attack on the territory of ukraine, about , what will the 24th year be like, i also want to talk about the budget, about money, how threatening is the situation for 2024 from your point of view, or

indeed, there may be delays in payments to state employees and pensioners, well, first of all, i want to express... my condolences to the victims and those who died as a result of today's attack, but this crime, unfortunately, is no different from the previous crimes of the russian federation on our territory, so, unfortunately, we are in this state of war, and this state of war has lasted long enough, and it is not clear how long it will last in the future. if we talk about the financial direction of this confrontation, namely providing ukraine with money, well, me it is difficult... to comment on the messages of some senior officials, i just want to dispel these rumors and allay the fears of our citizens due to these failed performances, in fact, all our social obligations in both january and february will be fulfilled in full on time, and for today there is a sufficient

margin of safety in our budget, and in view of the... money that we received in december, and in view of the payments that we receive from traditional sources, that is, through taxes, levies from other sources in the month of january, so to worry to our citizens there is absolutely no need, indeed, the situation with the provision of aid by our donors is tense, there is nothing to hide here, but it is definitely not critical, because if... you and i look and hear the statements made by any political forces, except marginal ones from the side of our partners, no political force insists that ukraine should not receive aid, everyone agrees that aid will be provided, the only problem is with certain technical issues in its

provision and the connection of these issues with the political discourse of one or another. country internally political discourse, so i am definitely convinced that the united states of america and the european union will provide us with the necessary assistance, and we will pass the 24th year with dignity. mr. danilo, after all, if this aid even comes, but conditionally it will be with delays, is it assumed that delays are also possible, for example in payments to state employees, is this something that ukrainians are very interested in? no, yes, in the same thing, i clearly answered your question, my time. and in full, and i'm honest, it's hard for me to explain where and why such high-ranking officials dispel treason, there is no reason for this. that's why we actually understand the terms of receiving the money, we understand the reserves that we can use, so

everything is under control, by the way , all two years of the war, please remember the spring of 22, please remember all the time of the full-scale invasion, we fulfilled all social obligations absolutely clearly and in a timely manner, we... indexed the pension, for the second year we indexed the pension despite the war, we increased pensions by 15, by more than 15%, we raised the living wage, we raised the minimum wage for the 24th year, so despite the war, despite the extremely difficult conditions, we are maintaining our social obligations and will continue to do so for the future. summarizing this part of the conversation, i.e. there is no reason to believe that the government for... for example, may not be able to cope, let's call it that, with the payment of salaries and so on, there is no, and the government, and the parliament, and the president, that is, everyone in ukraine today understands, where to get the money in case something definitely we say

about the testimony, we are talking about the february testimony, there is no risk of non-payment or late payment, and uh, moreover, moreover, our negotiations with partners, you referred to the prime minister's letter, in fact the same negotiations, they are going ... constantly, it's not just one letter that seems to have appeared now, it's constant negotiations, constant meetings, constant discussions, these are the commitments that we're making about the reforms that we have to carry out in exchange for money , which we receive, that is, it is a big, huge work that no one sees, but what is super-important, without which it would actually be difficult for us to stand, so this work and this whole process of negotiations under... affirms that we will receive the money, and the question will be for you, does it relate to the actual taxation of business, in particular fops, there is also a lot of talk about it, there is also criticism in this matter, so

what will this taxation be like in the near future, what changes are being prepared, if they are being prepared in this direction, and what can you tell us about it? well, in fact, we cannot say, or rather, we can clearly say that nothing will happen until the end of martial law. it the first thesis, the second thesis, it consists in the fact that, indeed, and our partners pay attention to this, the single tax system that exists today in ukraine has long since turned from a system of stimulating small business into a system of tax evasion of medium and big business , which is fragmented and receives benefits that are not inherent to it, therefore it is subject to change, and this, our partners insist on this and actually... well, i personally do not see the european future of our country without changing this system on the model of each other with eastern european countries. the government adopted

a national revenue strategy at its meeting this week, which sets out the main parameters of these changes. i want to summarize once again, during the war there will be no changes, but after the war and before the accession and in connection with the accession there are. union, this system will definitely be revised, that's for sure. and please also tell me, speaking of the fact that there will be changes in taxation for business itself, do these regular meetings take place with not only large, but also medium and small businesses, in order to hear their position on this reason? well, actually, if you ask me, i meet with businesses several times a week, including small businesses, sure, so be it. any state that exists and has formed now, it is traditional, it is already there, people are used to it, it is worse for them

than what will be implemented in the future, but on the other hand, people also understand that with one foot standing in the soviet union and using tax evasion practices, we will in no case enter the eu with the other foot, this is... it is impossible, therefore, if we want to be a part of civilization, european civilization, and not only in words, but also in deed, we must give up tax evasion practices with you, and this is above principle today. thank you, thank you, mr. danylo, danylo hetmantsev, head of the committee on finance, tax and customs policy, actually a guest of our broadcast, we talked about whether there will be funds in 2024, in particular in february and january, for the payment of pensions and salaries, they say will be in the parliament. well, according to mayor klitschko's reports, they reached kyiv one body under the rubble of a warehouse in the shevchenkiv district of the capital, next to that in odesa they report two

dead and... 16 wounded, this is what our correspondent from the scene says, explosions were heard there, and there were also explosions in dnipro, there were several of them series, a shopping center was on fire in the city, public transport was stopped, mayor borys filatov wrote about this on facebook, according to the head of the regional military administration serhii lysak, four people were killed and a dozen or so were injured. russian was also hit rockets into the maternity hospital, there were no casualties. such a video was published on the telegram channel: people caught a rocket attack right on the street. well, let's go back to the rocket attack on lviv, halyna trischuk from the scene of the residential area, where the effects of the hit are actually there,

halyna, you have a word. at this moment, it is known that a 40-year-old man died in a residential building, eight more people were injured, they were hospitalized, nothing is in danger, lviv mayor andriy sadovy officially informed us. however, being here on place, we also saw how a man, an older man, and a child were brought to the medics with shrapnel, as a result of the fall characteristic of a russian missile. such a situation actually exists with the injured and the dead. also, according to official information, as a result of rocket fire, 10 buildings in a residential area in lviv were damaged, windows were broken, some apartments were partially destroyed, and people will be provided with temporary housing. here we spoke with the residents, they say that they will not be able to live in these apartments at the moment. according to my information, still in apartments there are people, one of the women told us: that her

mother, who does not move, is motionless, is in the apartment, but a man was let in to her, and he is on and he is next to her, there is no connection, so the woman is not at the moment i knew what the situation was, this is what is known now, this is what is at this moment, and i see that the communal services are already working, cleaning the glass and promising that in those apartments that have not been destroyed, even today some windows will be glazed, that who can, so that he can stay in these houses, spend the night, this is the information. thank you very much, galina. halyna tereshchuk, rfe/rl correspondent from the scene in lviv, where there are also consequences of the missile attack after the attacks by russian forces on ukraine. it was one of the most massive, probably, in the last six months. the information is constantly updated: dnipro, odesa, cherkasy, lviv, kyiv, many ukrainian cities suffered today as a result of an attack by russian forces on the territory of ukraine.
