the evil herod goes to the kubzon concert. she wrote such an innovative script for the nativity scene. every year that i have already written that i won't write anything better, that that's all, and i have set the next vertept, i think, and last year was probably still better, i already like that, but i look, no, not better , different, well, the nativity scene, it is generally itself since its inception, it has always reacted to... modern events, it's just that now we take ancient scenarios and there are relevant characters, such as a cossack, a jew , and a pole, a ukrainian, that is, these people who were present at that time , who were in reality, and i too, i introduce those

characters who are relevant, are now, amateur theater meta has educated more than one generation of actors and directors, founded it in lviv at the end of the 70s, now they continue this work of their grandfathers and parents small and young artists perform not only in the lviv region, but also throughout ukraine. the participants of the christmas event themselves say that with this nativity scene they not only glorify jesus christ, but also encourage them to support our soldiers. with this year's nativity scene, and in general we can say with every year's nativity scene, we want to convey that even if it seems that... that dark times have come, evil times, that evil can win, in fact it is not so, and good always wins in the end, with christmas action vertapniki perform a special mission, because they collect funds for drones for our military in order to defeat the enemy with joint efforts,

in order to sum up certain results of 2023 and talk about the past week, it was marked by quite interesting events for crimea, and we will definitely tell about them, but first of all we note that maybe the 23rd year and dashed the hopes of some infantile people, in particular in our country, that crimea would return and be reintegrated and de-occupied. precisely this year, but we must understand that the work of the defense forces continues, it is extremely difficult, and the movement towards crimea this year was absolutely obvious, as far as i'm concerned, there was also a raid by our guys from the main intelligence department, our scouts into crimea, there were quite high-quality strikes on crimean ports, on the kerch bridge, enemy logistics were destroyed. enemy airfields are as uncomfortable as possible now, and they are thinking how to hide them

, and this means that the time is approaching, this means that the people who will liberate crimea now need our support, and therefore ayder, let's remind who should be helped now , let's remind, i will remind everyone what is going on recruitment of soldiers and officers to the 48th separate assault battalion. named after noman chilibedzhikhan, this is the so-called crimean separate battalion, crimeans, kremlins, that is, ukrainians, people who have some relation to crimea, well, some, or people who have no relation, even from volyn, from croatia and from romania serves, the people are completely different, they are all beautiful, you see, now the qr code is both the bank number and... the kitty of the monobank, this, here you can pay us a fee, which we have to close just a few days ago, today,

tomorrow, there are less than 100 hryvnias left, i call on everyone who sees how much you can transfer, and we will help the fighters to arm them by the new year, well, more or less a sufficient number of these drones, and call on the phone that you seen if you want to join the army yourself. in this in this in this in this unit for some specific position, you will be listened to there carefully and they will advise you on the position that corresponds to your abilities, well, then we will continue to talk about the strike on feodosia , at least several ships, one actually on molecules disabled at least two more as a result of a missile attack on... in this city, a damaged repair ship, the monitoring group of the crimean wind, citing

satellite data, reported this literally on december 26, we are talking about a large russian amphibious assault ship novocherka, not such large, in principle no one, as well as the crew, apparently, because there is little information about how many people could be on the ship, or if there could be at all. what we know about large amphibious ships in general of the russian federation, well, how much in particular are their intentions to land a landing, well, they are more like a warehouse, i think, how the warehouse and the base are used, because theirs are simply obsolete already morally 10 years ago, well , no one knew this for sure, but this war, she has already convinced the military that there can be no air or sea landings there anymore, well, because there are types of weapons that... absolutely make it impossible, and it is most likely, even this is an old model, but the ship is large

in size, and uh, well, as i see it, i don't know, maybe ask the specialists there, they will say something else, but uh, as i saw this explosion, there was just something there and there was a lot of something there, uh, i think that's why he became our target, then it seems like aerial stories strength yes they hit it with rockets, that's right, and as for this ship in general, its special feature is a reinforced concrete hull, er, that is, it's not so easy to hit, but... actually completely destroy this ship, let's remind once again that there was another one that was sunk the ship and suffered the third, that is, in fact, very accurate work of our defense forces, if we we are talking about the mood in feodosia, after what happened, after the filigree work of the ukrainian air force on the

novocherkassk air force base, the occupiers began searching for informants of the armed forces of ukraine and those involved in the destruction. the landing ship , the investigation of the destruction and another uts-150 training vessel will be handled by operatives from the russian federation, that is, crimean collaborators will simply not be trusted with this, as we understand, well, you have heard the most accurate version, this slightly crazy solovyov, putin's propagandist, the main one, he accused ksenia sabchak, putin's godfather is that... this ship was hit by the ukrainian air force, how does he have it in his head, well, it's just that they have such a witch hunt going on inside, it's very good, by the way, i i wish them success in this process, i think it will help us a lot, and you know, i wanted to make a reply to your first reply about the fact that

some people's infantile dreams did not come true... i just insist that the day aristovycha is over, people, well, i know that among the viewers of espresso and atp, there are no such , or almost no, people who believed in people like aristovych, some military experts there, etc., but it is true, it ended, the era of practical tough people and the same decisions began, and this press the conference of the diligent, this is absolutely confirmed. that is, people who work not with their mouths, but with their head and hands and heart, get the first roles. well, i would like to add a little more to complete the picture in crimea, this week the atesh group reports on at least the consequences of one rather loud night in

crimea from december 25 to 26. in dzhankoy, there were military flights in the area at night. there was no airfield for a long time, they say so loudly in this area, in sevastopol, on cape fiolend , the occupying forces were hit, as of eight in the morning on december 26, the military object continued to burn, and novocherkassk, like a cherry, i would say, dear cherry, so crimean, you've seen a crimean cherry, you remember what it was there, it's like that and very tasty, well, we, we're actually inviting you. to talk with us taras zhovtenko, an expert on international security democratic initiatives foundation, candidate of political sciences and member of the public council under the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine. taras, congratulations, glory to ukraine. i congratulate you, glory to the heroes. salam aleikum. well, summing up this week, literally on december 29, literally yesterday,

we experienced a large-scale, the largest attack on the territory of our country, by missiles. drones, and many believe that this may be putin's response to the destruction of novocherkassk for a rather daring attack in general on feodosia and crimea. i am not a supporter of such an opinion, because it seems to be leads us to think about whether it is even worth stepping in and aiming for that place? actually no, it's worth it, it's worth doing your job and... putin is shelling ukraine simply because he can do it, as you can see the development of the situation around crimea during the last week and possibly even throughout the current year. well, first of all, i completely agree with you that it is absolutely wrong to consider what happened to us this morning, so this massive attack by russian terrorists using, well, almost all

means of destruction, except maybe calibers, yes, although it is reported. the southern command understands that the carriers are in the black sea, well, but at least at the moment they have not been involved, so that is all, well, perhaps only an answer to how we continue our systematic work with the deoccupation of the ukrainian crimea and the rest of the ukrainian territories, which are still under the control of the russian invaders, in fact we are simply returning what belongs to us, and the russians are acting in this classic paradigm of terrorists and... completely disregarding the loss of the civilian population, and it must be understood that they would do it regardless of how we would act, so for the liberation of our own. territories, what concerns our activity both in crimea and in the south of ukraine, and ultimately what we are doing to liberate our territories, in fact, this is

a continuation of the systematic work of our defenders, we understand that we are dealing with an enemy that has numerical advantage over us, and we have to act accordingly, yes, since we can't match them in terms of quantity, unfortunately, we can't, we act with them based on quality. preparation and on the quality of ukrainian weapons, including those that we receive from our western partners, and this is the wonderful fate of this large russian landing craft, now you can decipher this letter as the large log of the ship bdk novocherkask, well, and all others like it, yes, that's why that this is far from the first, not the first russian tank of the black sea fleet that we sent to the cruiser moskva, confirms that we are using it as effectively as possible. the quality western weapons that we are getting, and in fact, this is what was happening in the crimean dosia, what happened in the previous

weeks, during this week, in the previous weeks during this year, in fact, this is systematic work to prepare for the deoccupation of the ukrainian peninsula, we must understand that the russians have turned crimea into the most powerful military base since the 14th year , yes, that is, it is such a, well, conventionally speaking, even a stationary aircraft carrier. the russians stuffed a lot of their weapons there, everything they had, they tried to get there, and in the end we saw that even from the very beginning of the so-called annexation of the crimea by the russians such a systematic militarization of it by the russian occupation authorities began , therefore precisely in order to prepare all the conditions so that with minimal losses on our side and most importantly with minimal losses among the civilian population in crimea, we could liberate our territory this a... according to us it takes such a long, long period of preparatory work, which is what we actually do. first of all, we are trying to cut off russian logistics both to crimea and from crimea to

the mainland of ukraine, because crimea in in this case, it is such a central strategic hub for the russian occupation forces operating in the south of ukraine in our southern regions. we are trying to minimize the russian potential in the black sea, so that is, in fact, we have already driven a huge part of the russian black sea fleet practically into the novorossian, so one ship, so to speak, was delayed by feodosia, and he paid for it, because in reality russian military potential in the black sea is one of the powerful tools of russian aggression, which, well, it is clear that the russians could directly threaten the south of ukraine with some sort of amphibious operations only at the beginning of this full-scale war, but nevertheless their ships in the black sea to a certain extent... let the russians control the situation around crimea, but such a period for they are actually ending thanks to the actions of the armed forces of ukraine. and the third point is

the strikes on russian military facilities in crimea. we are methodically destroying the entire military potential that the russians have been trying to accumulate in crimea since of 2014. and in the end, our strategic goal is the following: we must minimize all the possibilities of the russians for armed resistance in... on the territory of the autonomous republic of crimea, and when these possibilities of the russians are minimal, and accordingly our possibilities, our resources in order to complete this work, ah, will be sufficient to fulfill this task, well, then it will be possible to talk about the fact that we are moving to the active phase of the liberation of our ukrainian crimea. mr. taras, well, in general, can we say that in principle, er, we, well, almost all targets are available, er... that we are scouting there in crimea, and there is, if you are familiar with the means of attack, what range do we have, in relation to crimea, specifically in crimea and by water, and

by air and so on? well, as practice shows, and the practice of just 2023, in principle , we have access to about 70% of all military targets on the territory of crimea that belong to the russians. we use absolutely for this. the spectrum of the means of destruction that we have, starting from the same skalfi storm shadow cruise missiles, and now in connection with the peacock in feodosia, well , the question arose that there are obviously some slightly different modifications of these cruise missiles, because the range of damage there is a little greater than that officially declared in shalpi and in stormshed, we use the surface fleet. and already underwater marine drones, so as not to give rest to the russian fleet, well, at least in the water area, yes, the black sea around the coast of crimea. er we

also use er our without the capability of our unmanned aircraft, so reconnaissance and strike drones that we help us identify targets, look at where the russians have any air defense systems on the territory of the peninsula, destroy these systems, and the russian s-400 triumph was very good, there is no analogue in the russian military-industrial complex, that is also due to the way we combined the use our reconnaissance and strike... drones and the same british stormshadow missiles and their french counterparts scalp. and in the end, in different proportions, in different combinations, here are the shock systems that we use, the ones, at least, that we can talk about openly, about which our partners officially speak, yes, here we also have to understand that the situation with russian aggression against ukraine with western help to ukraine

to repel this aggression, it er... in the summer our western partners and we also about some moments, we began to be more silent, so to speak, so that surprises for the russians did not appear in media reports, but so that they simply fell on the heads of the russian occupiers where they are on the territory of ukraine. and i i think that in the same way we can talk about the fact that in this operation, yes, about which we are talking now in feodosia, so in all the previous operations that took place. of our defenders on the territory of crimea, including tools that have not yet been publicly discussed, but with the agreement of our western partners, obviously these tools are in our hands, we use them effectively, when the time comes they will be made public it has been said, voiced, but i think that we, at least for today, are on our own the main key points we have what we need, the only issue, again

, what we've talked about from the beginning is that the russians are just a lot, they're an army that outnumbers us, so, well, unfortunately, it is not enough to say that we have all the necessary tools, it is necessary to say that we need, the necessary number of these tools in order to be effective. taras, i really like it, you mentioned that not everything is announced, i like how finland helps us, they just don't say anything, but something to me suggests that the help is normal, because i hear more and more threats against the finn. from the side of the russian federation, that is, you will be the first if nato attacks there, such, well , that indicates that the finns are helping secretly, but seriously, yes, well, the question is not about that, but about the f-16, i absolutely i do not understand this issue, well, neither does khrystyna, well, although khrystyna understands everything, i am talking about the forecast of their use, possible use

for the direction of the crimea, in the direction of the south. and how do you think it might change the course of the war? well, in fact, this is a rather serious factor on the battlefield. and so that there are no skeptics talking about this issue, well, in the grand scheme of things , it will at least be parity in the means that we use in the air against what the russians can use against us. as a maximum well technology platform, which is this fighter-bomber. the f-16, such a multi-role aircraft that can actually launch a whole range of different types of missiles, ranging from air-to- air to air-to-surface, hit targets not only on land, but also at sea, including underwater targets, because if we are again talking about the russian sea and naval potential, which is tied to the russians for the time being in crimea, then we we must say that the russians have both surface ships and submarines

, including carriers. caliber, and it is extremely difficult for us to fight precisely with underwater targets, but f-16 aircraft with appropriate weapons can help us a lot in this. we will be able to drive away russian frontline aviation, which operates from airfields on the territory of occupied crimea. just as we drove the russian fleet away from a large part of novorossiya, we will be able to do it with the russian aviation only from crimean airfields. well, the plus is, of course, the fight against... those strike systems that the russians are using against us, and in the 16th, at least a small number of them even in one area of ​​the pound will allow us to provide, when we need it, air dominance, and then, in principle, the russians will have almost none chances to effectively use cruise missiles against us, and strike drones, alas, in the 16th, anti-ballistics cannot do anything, but for this we have...
