to do, what can pensioners expect as a result, what do government officials, experts and pensioners themselves say about the changes? oleksandra kulibava found out. alexander is 68. he retired in 2015. the man devoted his whole life to teaching, worked a lot because he wanted to earn for his retirement. he had experience more than 32 years, but received payments less than colleagues with the same experience. such a problem has existed in ukraine for many years. i was very surprised when i received my pension, it was somewhere around two, 2,400 or 2,800, because the next year, when my colleagues left, it was much, much bigger, but it was explained to me that in the year when i retired, there was a very small index by which this pension is calculated, in order to avoid the problem, the government proposes a reform, to introduce a point system that evens out the disparity between the contributions, in other words, the monthly the contribution of employed ukrainians to the dairy

fund will be transferred into points in the ratio between the person's salary and the average salary in ukraine at that time. we offer to take for 10 points. accordingly, if you paid there from the minimum wage or. salaries there are higher, twice higher than in the average, you will have either less than 10 or significantly more than 10 points, and the value of a point is absolutely the same for all citizens. when you go, for example, to the electronic cabinet, you know, you can calculate for yourself, what amount of pension you will have. the government explains that in this way they want to make the joint pension system protected from inflation and devaluation. currently , the average salary in ukraine is multiplied by... the individual salary coefficient and the insurance experience coefficient. the new formula proposes to take into account not only the level of inflation, but also the amount of salary from which insurance contributions were made, that is, the longer a person's experience and higher salary, the higher the pension will be. experts say, they can expect quick results from the scoring system

primarily those who are already retired. this will definitely give, can give, significant, well, growth. pensions for those pensioners who have been retired for a long time, here is to bring the old pensions up to the new ones, because according to statistics, the new ones are more, that something will be imposed from march, this is the traditional indexation that we were promised, plus it will be a recalculation due to an increase in the subsistence minimum and all this, and plus, they want to tie this reform to indexation in order to do so. pension recalculation already taking into account the new rules. to fully launch the pension system reform, the verkhovna rada should adopt a law. currently, the draft of this document is under review. meanwhile, economists are skeptical about the reform, because they doubt whether the state will have enough funds to finance the changes. we will not see any impact on

the ukrainian economy of the pension reform. currently, in principle, it is too early to say that this will be implemented, because there are very few resources, and it is not a fact that the state will have the resources for this next year. i do not believe that they will do something better for pensioners, half of my pension will go to the utility company, and then eat on shares, well, you can live on this, i have a pension of 2, 2, 800, and i paid utilities for an apartment 1,700, more than a thousand, you can live on such money, i have more than 40 years of experience, since january, the pension is indexed, the minimum will increase from uah 2,093 to uah 2,361, the maximum from uah 20,930 to more than 23.5, the average pension will also increase to 6, while, as of now, it is 5,311, and

by 2028, the requirements for insurance experience will increase in ukraine, so already from january citizens who want to retire at the age of 60 must accumulate 31 years of experience instead of 30. those who do not have time to accumulate such experience, they will have the right to retire already at the age of 63, with experience from 21 to 31 years, if this is not enough, they will have to wait until the age of 65, the requirements will not be increased for this age. oleksandra kulibaba, ihor tkach, serhiy kiselyov and vadym verba, tv channel rada, nationwide marathon, edyni news. walk the field in zaporizhzhia, to the front line, there is only 10 km, so it is occupied. quite often this city is shelled, but even in such conditions, the townspeople set up a small christmas tree. today , there are about 2 thousand residents left in the city. which eva moronova will tell about the mood and dreams with which they welcome this new year. on the main square of gulyaipol vchent

to the commander of one of the regiments involved in carrying out such strikes, which are based on... the airfield in shaykovka, kalusa region, as well as to his head, the division commander, at the same time, we are establishing the persons responsible for giving them such orders , from among the military political leadership of the russian federation. in general, during 2023, the occupiers shelled populated areas in 24 regions of ukraine almost 60,000 times. kutsenko, vadym verba, andriy sokurenko, tv channel rada, all- national marathon, edyni news. fuel at the front is no less important than weapons, because without it it is impossible to perform tasks on the front line. the fighters of the automobile brigade help in this, they are the ones who provide the eastern front with fuel. about millions

of kilometers covered and about strategic tasks that the army men helped to carry out, ours told. sofia cholas. they are constantly in russia: refueling, road, unloading fuel and road again. this is how the drivers of the automobile brigade work every day so that tanks, bmps, and artillery can perform tasks on the front line. ural carries 5.5 cubic meters, here it is almost 10, that is, we can deliver more. and on these we pass. it is much more effective if there was an 8:8 blocking of bridges, turned on the favorite bolts, where everything goes around, they cover kilometers on foreign gasoline trucks and old kamazs, it falls apart already a guard, the driver with the call sign kakhovka is repairing a special kamaz for himself,

the one with the same name, which kokhovka named, because i am the foundation of kakhovka, fast and hard. we need to move forward, i know that last year , at our expense, we defended a little bit of bahnut, yes, for the guys to hold there for 30 km, we piled on thousands, among other drivers and a military name actor, he went to the military for the first time in a week , then he didn't know that he would get into the logistics forces, the actor because he filmed four

episodes there were in cinemas, so from the first days he was practically... not an actor, except for the film industry i also worked as a supply manager, he understands cars and has overcome difficulties on the roads more than once, the work of a driver on the road is different, there are dangers, well, somehow i have some experience in the fact that there are various breakdowns , which we can do there ourselves, then we do it. let's go further to complete the task, there are caring people who help, now we'll sort it out, let's see. what happened to him there , and then somewhere in the showdowns, somewhere on this , maybe someone will help us and we will already restore this unit and he is still in the flight commander. the uninvited headmaster of the unit says: except driver's license, at the first meeting with his subordinates he asks one thing: the working order of the cylinders of an eight-cylinder engine, that is

, in principle, if he knows this, then in principle he can be taken into our team. although they are not working on the front line, the work is dangerous, - explains the commander. not for nothing, logistics is a priority goal for the russians. the paratroopers' motto is e-e. er, no one but us, that is such a fighter, and we have a motto that without us they are nothing. in my opinion, the main driver in the battalion is the driver. the driver, i think, in the infantry is a soldier who directly performs the task as assigned, and my task is to do everything so that he can concentrate directly on the performance of his functions. you, as a morale and psychological support officer, tell me how fresh blood in the army would reduce the burden on people who are already fighting. for the second year, many have families left at home, some people have families abroad, well, you know how it is to communicate with children, it is difficult to realize when your child

is actually growing up without you, my daughter is 5 years old, 5.5 years old, the most interesting, uh, i miss the most interesting moments of her life, well, but i know why i'm here, the army men say, war is not only the front line, and the advice is taken by the drivers of the logistics force. with a license that allows you to drive trucks and large vehicles, because there is a lack of free hands. from the dnipropetrovsk region, sofia cholys, serhiy kysilyov, serhiy tomko, tv channel rada, nationwide marathon of the united news. more than 100 billion euros. the western allies provided us with weapons for this amount since the beginning of the large-scale invasion. these are figures from the kiel institute world economy. but forbes writes. at the beginning of last year, the west approved the largest ever supply of heavy weapons to ukraine. then the allies expected the success of the counteroffensive. however, in the second half

of the year, the level of equipment supply dropped to almost zero. so what new types of weapons did ukraine receive in 2023. can we count on enough support from allies this year? we have summarized everything. a year ago , ukraine only asked its allies for the supply of these long-range missiles, tanks and air defense systems. today, they protect the sky, defend the earth and help liberate territories. according to forbes, only in the first months of 2023, the allies approved the transfer to ukraine of about 1,250 units of armored vehicles, including leopard-2a and challengenger tanks, bmp bradley and marder, and other heavy armored vehicles. in general, the kiel institute of world economics

calculated that, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the western allies have provided ukraine with weapons worth about 100 billion euros. the main aid packages were traditionally announced at the meetings of the contact group for support of ukraine, the so-called ramstein. there, in february , it became known about the tank coalition for ukraine. great britain promised challengers, germany, leopards, and the united states, abrams. by the end of 2023, all obligations have been fulfilled, part of the equipment is performing combat missions in various areas of the front. at the end of april, it was officially announced that the main anti-aircraft missile system of the us army, patriot, had arrived in ukraine. in less than a month, the air defense forces in... will quickly neutralize russian ballistic missiles over kyiv dagger, and volodymyr zelenskyi will declare: we need more patriots. after patriot, we will ask for more patriot. at the end of the 23rd, ukraine

had several patriot mirrors in service. the latter was handed over by germany a few weeks ago. berlin plans to transfer several more such systems this year. an important reinforcement for the armed forces. became the provision of long-range missiles. great britain and france announced the first deliveries. stormshadow and scalp were provided in the spring and their effectiveness was immediately felt by the russians in the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine. in autumn , the united states joined the coalition of long-range weapons. joe biden announced the transfer of atakams missiles. i spoke with volodymyr zelenskyi and we fulfilled everything he asked for. 2023 showed: ukraine is supported on both sides of the atlantic. according to nato secretary-general jens stoltenberg, almost half of the military aid to kyiv

is provided by canada and european countries. i thank the united states for your leadership, for the critical military equipment that the united states is providing to ukraine, but let me emphasize that this is actually joint efforts of the united states, canada and european members of the alliance. however, kyiv, washington, and european capitals recognize that there are many difficulties in supplying weapons to ukraine. in recent months, the number of equipment provided to kyiv, in addition to anti-aircraft and anti -aircraft systems. reserves are close to zero , the kiel institute of the world economy calculated, at least according to official data. cnn writes: the west is gradually losing attention to ukraine, due to many other geopolitical challenges. a senior nato official who works directly with the issues of ukraine, told cnn that the long-term trend towards the worst outcome is now clearly visible. the west will lose attention to ukraine.

kyiv's western allies in... in europe are losing interest in what was once their top priority, if even europeans are losing interest in a war on their own continent, what must the rest of the world think? at the same time, many countries promise, on the contrary , to increase military aid to ukraine this year, in particular, germany will double the budget for the transfer of weapons, from four to 8 billion euros. the netherlands has reserved in the 2024 budget almost 3 billion euros for weapons for ukraine. financing for kyiv was also approved in denmark, norway, canada, south korea and japan. the british defense minister assures that military aid to ukraine will either remain at the same level or increase, and the white house hopes to approve a $61 billion aid package for ukraine this month. that's more than washington provided in a year and a half of a full-scale invasion. we would like

to receive as soon as possible. this funding, it will most likely happen at the beginning of january, than the sooner the better. this year, ukraine will also receive the first nato f-16 fighter jets. according to the latest information, they will arrive already in the spring. the appearance of western fighter jets in ukraine can both protect the sky from enemy attacks and change the situation on the battlefield, the air force of the ukrainian armed forces believes. oleg zinchenko, tv channel rada, all-national marathon, edyni novini. this year, the kharkiv team of reindeers of st. nicholas received more than 2,000 letters from children, how do wishes come true? we will talk about this and more in the second part of our article programs, do not switch. the new stage is reconstruction, how can people who rebuilt war-damaged housing on their own receive compensation from the state? for the first time in almost two years, how did the displaced people

who... were protected by odesa learn not to postpone their lives for later, and what plans they are making for 2024. volunteering instead of children's entertainment, how small ukrainians were not frightened by the great war at first, on the contrary, they showed their determination, and as they bring our victory closer. the rise in popularity of far-right parties in europe this year, predicts the financial times. in the netherlands cites as an example. and slovakia, where the right and populists won parliamentary elections in the autumn. why is the political landscape on the continent changing and what can ukraine expect? we analyzed everything, all forecasts. see far-right parties are gaining popularity in europe due to increased migration, europeans' complaints about a loss of identity and a sense of threat from outside.
