are reporting the explosions in the kirovohrad region and kryvyi rih, and detailed information will be announced in the next issues. and the body of another deceased was found from under the rubble in the shevchenkiv district of kyiv. at this moment , 23 victims of the russian strike on december 29 are known, the kyiv city military administration reports. emergency services managed to save eight people. in total, firefighters took out more than a thousand. meters of destroyed construction constructions the search and rescue operation is still ongoing. and another victim of russian rocket attacks died in the hospital, a 61-year-old resident of smila in cherkasy region. doctors have been fighting for her life since friday, but they could not save her - said the head of the region ihor taburets. let me remind you that on december 29, russia hit the courage with missiles. then nine people were injured. people, one of them a child, more than

fifty homes were damaged, a dozen were completely destroyed. and the number of wounded due to russian shelling of kherson increased to seven, to the doctors four more men applied. two contusions, the local military administration informs. during the enemy attack on the shipping district of the city, people were in a car. the russians hit the city with artillery, damaging a shop, residential buildings and cars. in others. houses lost electricity and water, repairmen have already started restoration. anger and people can be converted into donations. espresso tv channel continues the collection to help the military. artillerymen, who will later go to defend our country in the east, need a pickup truck quickly and efficiently perform combat tasks. unfortunately, at the front, these cars often turn into scrap, they are a kind of waste. that's why i'm asking. we ask you not to be

indifferent and join the gathering. our goal is one pickup truck for uah 2,500. we already have 196,000 in our account. every hryvnia is important, your donation is a contribution to victory. you can see all the details on the screen. we persevered, so we will win. during this year, ukraine quickly created and armed mobile fire groups. soldiers were trained to strike from the air. goals commander serhiy naev of the united forces of the armed forces of ukraine summed up the results of the year. fortifications have been built on the border, tens of kilometers of minefields and mined rubble have been installed. believe me, dig hundreds of thousands of meters of trenches and anti-tank ditches. during the year, a number of exercises were conducted for soldiers of the territorial defense forces of the national guard of ukraine and the naval forces. the year that we... was not easy, but we persevered and

continue to move forward. ukraine has not fallen, but is staunchly defending its historical rights. full free existence in to the civilized world, we will definitely liberate the occupied territories and victoriously end this terrible war with the new year 2024. tetyana shevchenko was a deputy in the lviv city council, working in the largest ukrainian bank and raising two children, before the full-scale invasion. the woman has been serving for 20 months. how it saves the lives of soldiers on the front lines, see further in the material of our colleagues. kobzar, that was the call sign tetyana shevchenko received on the front lines. even before february 24, the woman signed up for lviv teroborona, and on the first day of a full-scale invasion went to the

location of the brigade to defend ukraine. i remembered that one of my professions is a doctor. so i decided that i could be useful. i will learn all military things while in the reserve, leaving for training. in the past , ms. tetiana worked as a nurse in the lviv hospital, so she was hired as a sanitary instructor in the 103rd separate brigade of the territorial defense forces. well, but san is an instructor, so this is not an instructor, my task is to save, help, treat, not only, let's say this, not only physically, but also morally, and simply to be a spiritual support for the team, for the personnel. in june 2023 , a medical company was created at the base of the 103rd brigade. the command decided to appoint tatyana as the head nurse.

near the front line , a medical reception room, a 25-bed inpatient unit and an evacuation department were set up in the basement. and here is the evacuation... the department deals with evacuation, interception, leaves, works with more wounded, and the medical department, in which both our boys who do not need hospital with somatic diseases are treated, and we accept from all brigades, we have such a concept as acuborotrams, they work against the background of artillery fire, sometimes in stabilization. we have to receive 12 or even 20 soldiers at once, such moments feel like hell, ms. tetyana admits, i am happy when we have no work, if we have no work, then there are no wounded boys, well , our evacuation teams are silent that they are nobody they don't drive, you don't

need to leave for some interception, no help is needed, which means there are no wounded, our chat is silent about the fact that there are two hundred in an hour... a wounded soldier needs to be taken to the hospital, but in the conditions of hostilities , this is not always realistic. the evacuation is being extended. 3-4 hours is great. 6-8 hours, unfortunately, sometimes longer. and everything depends on your battalion medic. first, everything depends on the military man himself and his comrades. ms. tetiana calls medical colleagues her second family. i went to war because... that someone in the family must necessarily go to war, it or father, or mother, or children , god forbid, that's why it happened in our country that i went to war, after the victory, sergeant tetyana shevchenko plans to return to work in the lviv

city council, because she knows that she can be useful to her community. kateryna oliynyk, nazar melnyk, espresso tv channel. the train is heading to kyiv-kazkovy station. christmas express. the latter this year run in the capital and in the city of leva. our correspondent kateryna galko rode in one of them. katya, i congratulate you and i am waiting for you to share your impressions with us. iro congratulate ours viewers the christmas express did arrive at the kyiv-kaskovyi station, that is, at the darnytsia station. ukrzaliznytsia launched these special retro trains on... late trains specially for the new year holidays in the capital and in lviv, and we were lucky enough to catch the very last such train, and managed

an infectious disease doctor, and even earlier i was an ambulance paramedic , at the time of registration. documents here at the kmb, i was asked what i wanted to be and a list of military specialties, and in addition to everything else, there was a specialty of combat medic, well, of course, i chose it as a specialty , like many people also have a personal life, there are also some fears, there it is war, you can die here, it happens, and get captured, but everyone i decided my affairs and... and at some point i just think that i need to prepare, there for three or four months, well , i adjusted my physical preparation a little bit and read, watched special videos, and then i decided, as i decided in september, so in september came, everyone is afraid , because everyone understands that this is a war, in war

they die, but this is the situation, this is what happened, and the war will... continue until this fear is overcome, well, not that overcome, and until every person learns to fight this fear, m, because he remains, he is always here, even in training, and here there are special appropriate training exercises in order to get used to and learn to fight their fear, and when the desire to end the war... is fair for us, for ukraine, with our victory and de-occupation of our entire territory, then this is probably the only goal and the only way to end this war justly, so we talked when we first arrived, several people, indeed, just like me, came themselves, many by summons, and there were a

lot of conversations about that they took me there i have a family i have a family, why do i need it, i can't, i don't know, i'm disabled , there's something else, uh, but for sure, communication with sergeants, communication with each other, and learning and understanding what you can learn it, even, i have never held a machine gun before, it is possible, you can learn it, and you understand how it is done, and now we were talking to each other, and i remember the people who were with the boys. .. who said, why am i here, i don't want to be here, now they themselves start conversations about what and we, we will soon win, we will do everything to win, stepan barna, currently a sergeant of the 10th separate mountain assault brigade edelweiss,

and until 2023 ukrainians knew him as a people's deputy, ex-head of the ternopil regional state. administration, philanthropist, entrepreneur and scientist, now instead of a high position, he holds the title of defender of ukraine. recalling the past, stepan says: being a politician is not a choice, a vocation, but now he calls military service his duty. i was aware that there would be a war. all the time, i was convinced that this war there will be a full-scale conflict with russia, i did not believe that russia would be calm. to put up with the fact that there is a ukrainian state. 10 years ago, when the first shots rang out in the east of ukraine, stepan barna was engaged in politics, while actively helping the front. he says always. understood that the priority for the development of ukraine is a strong army. it was then, in the 14th year , that my brother oleg barna volunteered to fight. instead, stepan became a reservist. this was

during the formation of the brigade itself in order to, while still in the status of head of the regional state administration, i tried to popularize service in the reserve. and after he left the position of chairman, he went to a meeting of reservists and there signed the contract of the operational reserve of the first. queues for the edelweiss brigade. and, accordingly, when the war began, there was a full-scale attack, there was a presidential decree on the mobilization of reservists, well, he was mobilized in his part. he remembers that he was most worried about how he should fight in the winter, because he does not like the cold, being in a position in the middle of winter is the most difficult for a military man, but the man is already in his second year is wintering at the front. in the first days, our brigade was transferred to the border with belarus, and then already in march, at the beginning of

march we were in the area of ​​zhytomyr and kyiv regions. that is, i met the war already in the zhytomyr region. and from may 2022 , the brigade was transferred to donbas. the fighter says that his main motivation is to ensure peace. and finally separate from russia, and if this does not happen, then there is a possibility that this is not the extreme generation that fights with the aggressor, the worst - dies. stepan's brother oleg barna has already given his life fighting the aggressor. a well-known politician and an ardent defender of everything ukrainian, he was always distinguished by his patriotism and categorical attitude towards russia. in the future , stepan barna sees ukraine as a full-fledged member of the european union in the unified nato collective security system. with the preservation of national traditions and the development of new ones, so that children have the opportunity to develop here, learn, get an education, get housing

, create a business, work in a field that will be comfortable and interesting for them, and that the country is for life, from the new year expects a peaceful sky and ukraine's victory over the enemy, a peaceful sky? faith in the great future of ukraine, faith that ukraine will be an independent, cathedral state, that we will become a full-fledged european country, i believe that this land will be the best for our children and for our future. stepan barna has been in the war for 21 months, he dreams the most. to return home, he says, his relatives are waiting for him here, and at the same time there is a lot of work on the consequences of the war, which must be eliminated. so, friends,

we are back on the air, continuing our marathon, today, december 31 at 60-676 russian large-scale invasion. we continue to talk about what is happening in ukraine and what may happen tonight, ivan varchenko, a member of the armed forces of ukraine, an expert on national security, we join him to etor, mr. ivan, we congratulate you, good day, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, sir ivan, we already managed to visit ukrat today, but fortunately there was a setback, we returned to our normal warm human studio, but we understand that putin can help us today in... foreboding after all? they are quite logical , just as i think and you, it is unlikely

that many ukrainians doubt that the russians will definitely try to spoil new year's day, new year's day, the night, the next day, so ukrainians are certainly ready that this is a dekun tribe will definitely offer. er, some inhuman regular measures, including the bombing of ukrainian cities, as it happened on december 28-29, we understand that it is extremely important for the russians to demonstrate something for their population to the russian leaders, which they say, you see, we did it anyway , in order to ukrainians were not very happy. er, in the new year , let them be sad, because when ukrainians are sad, the enemy is happy, and vice versa, when we understand and find inspiration and strength,

the enemy... on the contrary, becomes sadder, although we understand that two, almost two years of war are given to us with a lot of work, a lot of sweat, tears and, unfortunately, blood, so this is such a common thing that does not need extra evidence, the russians will try, of course , to prevent us, but the fact is that with their indiscriminate large-scale strikes, they once again the world public , which succeeded, including a reaction in the form of quick decisions on additional air defense, as the united kingdom did, it is clear that a large part of the un member states condemned this indiscriminate aggression of russia, because of which it resorted yesterday to actions that, according to them it seems that they will be able to whiten their image to a certain extent,

in turn they are working on the plot that... ukrainians are just as stupid as we are, and they are trying to spread this plot around the world, especially in the civilized world, i hope that yesterday's situation in belgorod will be absolutely clearly read, interpreted by our partners, and we understand that it is a very simple answer to a very simple logical question, and it is clear to every civilized man, woman, unimpressed russian. propaganda, then, if russia had not attacked ukraine, nothing would have flown over russia, russian air defense would not have worked in the same way as ukrainian air defense would not have worked, just as fragments of missiles would not have flown to hungary , to my apologies, romania, moldova, poland, no, they did not fly past or over other countries of the world, and, unfortunately, this logic, of course, unavailable, seriously ill. sects are now

suicides, which is the russian federation, and we hope that this organism will also recover due to precisely those illogical, lack of logic in those questions that they ask, which they ask and to which they do not find answers, but unfortunately, we see a disease very deep, by the way, you know, the new york times wouldn't be the new york times, it would probably have a different name if it didn't come out of new york. i don't remember if they had anything on the front page, except that musk went to portugal or somewhere there, or in brazil and so on and the like, but today, you see, the new york times, yesterday to be more precise, appeared on the front page. a missile

attack on a russian city, at least 14 people were killed, the bombing of belgorod, presumably in response to the attack on friday, well, i understand the emotions of all our people. we also understand that probably, when the generations pass already after the second world war, the americans forget about the two nuclear bombs on japanese peaceful cities, not peaceful, okay, not peaceful. but dropped on civilian cities with civilian casualties, they forget about the bombing by b-52 bombers, which simply wiped whole german cities with the civilian population from the ground, everything is forgotten about it, and today they accuse us of the same thing, but on the other hand, if we have such allies and we depend on their opinion, or perhaps it should really be said that at least we are sorry that civilians died. in

belgorod. you know, ukraine systematically destroys those objects in russia that contribute to and cause and help russian aggression. we need not look for any words of excuse. we don't need to find any words to say anything more than what we have already said. if... russia had not attacked ukraine, you would have been fine, not a single russian would have died in ukraine, and you would not have your air defense system working, as a result of which people are dying. and it's a pity that this simple logic, sometimes, again, under...
