history are not accidental. it is on january 1 that the memory of stepan bandera is commemorated. in lviv , hundreds of people gathered near his monument, defenders of different times, adults and children. flowers were placed at the foot of the un leader's plastons. at one time, bandera was also in the formation. during his presidency, viktor yushchenko awarded stepan bandera the title of hero of ukraine. however, in 2011 yanukovych deprived but what about... for me, january 1, first of all, is not a new year and it has never been for my family, well , as of today, it is especially important to honor the memory of our guide stepan bonder, who, even dead, does not give rest to our enemies, occupiers. from the balkan countries

, visa-free travel to the european union began on january 1 for citizens of kosovo. kosovars can now travel within the borders zone up to 90 days. the partially recognized state was the last of the six western balkan countries to receive visa-free access from the eu. the new visa regime is intended for tourism and personal travel and does not include a work permit. kosovo began its journey to visa-free travel back in 2012. however, the political decision was repeatedly postponed. the reason was the opposition of france and the netherlands, who feared the possibility of new migration waves, as well as the position of five other eu members. greece, spain, cyprus, romania and slovakia, which do not recognize independence kosovo and serbia. in japan, the new year began with a disaster. a powerful earthquake. dudoy 7.6

was recorded in the morning on the northwestern coast of the island of honshu. in the central prefecture of isakawa, many houses collapsed, more than 30,000 people were left without electricity. currently, six people are known to have died. local authorities announced a tsunami threat and called for evacuation. this applies, in particular, to the coastal areas of the country. according to the data of the japanese meteorological agency, the tsunami can reach a height of up to... meters, in general for there were 30 earthquakes in a few hours, then an eyewitness tells how the earthquake was felt in the japanese alps. i am here with a group of snowboarders in nagano, niagata prefecture, we are in the mountains at the hakuba elps hotel. i think we just experienced a 7.5 earthquake. hmm, pretty strong if you ask me, well the whole room was shaking, the tv was shaking, i had to keep everything on the table, yes i did, but i... feel safe

in my room, but everything else was shaking. israel is going to partially withdraw its troops from the gaza strip, it is about withdrawal five brigades. out of the war zone as the defense forces have gained more control over the region and are partially returning reservists to civilian life to help the economy. according to an israeli official, this is being done in order to move on to more targeted operations against hamas, because the war may continue into next year. in particular, preparations are being made for a possible outbreak of a second front against hezbollah in lebanon, reuters reports. recently, prime minister of israel netanyahu. reported on the expansion of hostilities in the gaza region and added that israel will continue the war until it destroys hamas. before the new year, there was an unusual excitement at the checkpoints on the western

border. men, who were previously allowed to cross the border, suddenly stopped being allowed out of the country. on december 30 , the work of checkpoints was actually blocked. passenger buses, passenger cars, volunteer vehicles were stuck in a huge... it was reported on social networks that the border guards even took the men out of the trains heading to poland. what was the situation on at the sheghini medical checkpoint on december 31, our film crew saw. not a step abroad without a ticket and a tsk stamp. even on friday , a long line of both cars and buses formed at the state checkpoint in shaghyn. on december 31, it decreased. however, it is known that from the evening of december 29 , men who did not have military registration documents were no longer allowed abroad. yes, mr. vitaliy, who

crossed the border more than once without hindrance under the category of a father of many children, claims that without an official the announcement of the crossing rules has been changed. stand at the end of the queue and check. while your documents will be photographed, sent to someone, they will be scanned, and the report should receive a plus sign for approval, that is, that my passport is completely broken, i go back and forth, back and forth, visa, this is the second time my passport has been knocked out, i tried to cross the border for the first time state border oleksandr from kharkiv, as a person accompanying a person with a disability, waited for his turn at the shaghyn checkpoint on saturday evening, for about 15 hours. however he was forbidden to cross the border, explains that he had with him all the documents that were required of him earlier. i collected everything. and there

he did not say anything because of permission. what will you do next? i will go to take permission. people learned about the strengthening of checks at checkpoints already in queues at the border. on the network, users write about the fact that the border guards were allegedly given a verbal order to strengthen control over the passage of men of conscription age. the same is said on the border. they say that there are changes in the cabinet of ministers. here is the question occurs so, the cabinet of ministers met at two o'clock in the morning or 12 o'clock and decided to go on their way? well, this is an arbitrary order, everyone, no matter who you ask, everyone says, a call came from kyiv, not to let anyone through, now the military commissars will not run after people, but people after the military commissars, and this is again, well, a criminal scheme, which the military commissars will keep people, pickle them,

as they used to take bribes for a pension certificate, now they will simply take them for deferments, and these funds will be considerable, later in comments for the media, the spokesperson of the state... andriy demchenko of the border service emphasized that border guards can demand documents from the tsc from men of conscription age. recently , we have seen an increase in attempts to use fake documents, in particular, related to multiple children. in addition, very often the purpose of the citizens' trip does not match, they try to fall under another category that would allow them to cross the border. border guards do everything to prevent and prevent such abuses. in... crossing the border, it is clearly stated that categories also have the right to cross the border people of conscription age, having with them military registration documents with a record of deferment. shortly before strict control at the border, on december 25, kabin registered a new

draft law on mobilization, which caused a wide response and even criticism. the government promised to finalize the document and assured them until the new changes take effect. the mobilization process takes place in the usual mode. natalya stare pravo, vitaly kulekha, espresso tv channel. well, they were like that. news at this time, you can read more as always on our website espresso tv, too follow us on social networks and watch on youtube, and we experienced january 1, 2024 with you, a difficult day, but a new day, a new year, and this means that we are one step closer to victory, we will believe in it and bring it closer with all her strength, i, iryna koval, was with you and we will see each other tomorrow.

one of the most powerful countries in the world in terms of potential and resources, but we fight and believe in victory and, most importantly, we go for it. i will introduce my colleagues and friends, with whom we spent this year together with you, you were also with us during this year, and today i will sum up these results together with them and make certain accents. the economic columnist of the big city. espress tv channel oleksandr morchyvka. alexander, i congratulate you. in fact, he kept you up to date with all major economic events throughout the year. lina chechenina, our art viewer, the diamond of our composition. hi. thank you. one of the best, maybe even the best, i won't say that modestly. art viewers of ukraine, maybe even not only of ukraine. natalka didenko, our weather forecaster is your favorite. well, actually, thanks to her. have you probably gotten wet in the rain or frozen your nose at least a few times this year? congratulations ms. natalie, congratulations

, congratulations, yana pastokhov, sports columnist of the great ethereum, once again, during this year, all the most important events were not only shown, but also analyzed in some way, and evgeny helped you, probably, when there was no faith, to believe in our teams, in our national teams both in the internal and external arenas, welcome evgeny, good evening, serhiy sgurets, a person on... whose appearance in the frame you await with impatience, with fear or with hope, he actually told during this year what was happening on the fronts, what the situation was, and despite many difficult moments, always tried to instill faith and give positivity, despite the fact that of course this year was very difficult, congratulations, congratulations to you vasyl, congratulations to our viewers, well yuriy fizar, yuriy fizar this year, first of all, he did a very cool thing asked jens stoltenberg a question at the nato summit, and actually this is the person thanks to whom you understood what is happening in... politics, well, in general, what is happening in ukraine's relations with the rest of the world. yuriy, i congratulate you.

i congratulate you, vasyl, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes. well, we will start with the plot, which is called so, not evolution, obviously the transformation of the president of ukraine, the supreme commander of the armed forces of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi. how he started this year and with what he came to the finish line year, and what can be expected in actions, in decisions, in words. president of the year 2024. let's watch. in january 2023, the head of the president's office andriy yermak defined the goals - victory. the attention of the whole world to ukraine, cooperation with the countries of the global south, as well as china and india. a year has passed, what went wrong. the counteroffensive was supposed to begin in the summer and the shores of azov were supposed to be ours again, but the lack of weapons, lack of aircraft, three lines of enemy defense turned the bank's promised victorious march to melitopol into a bloody, exhausting struggle. for every meter

paid in blood. the diplomatic front also asked for the july summit on... in vilnius, but did not give an answer, when? the photo of president zelensky at the summit, apart from the group of western leaders , eloquently illustrates the reality, and the absentee dispute with the defense minister of great britain added to the fire. we thank you very much for that, i just don't know what he means, how else do we need to thank, well then, well , let him write to me, how i need to thank people, so that we are fully grateful. a tactful remark by the ambassador of ukraine ulon. vadim's standoff cost him positions, and ukraine has an ambassador in britain, we still don't have him. the front moved slowly and they were looking for the culprits at the bank. defense minister reznikov was the first to leave on september 5. three days earlier , the oligarch ihor kolomoisky, the one who actually turned volodymyr zelenskyi into a politician, went behind bars. scandals began to fall on the heads

of the central government, like fragments of broken illusions. odesa military commissar borisov, millionaire and owners. spanish villa. he was defended to the last, but the demand of society was so strong that bankova decided to disperse the leadership of the tcc throughout the country, which only failed the mobilization and presented the army with another problem: the lack of quality replenishment. time rejected the curtain. in power, some are stealing like the last time, and they are afraid to tell the president about the real situation on the battlefield. volodymyr zelenskyi's careless speech at the un led to a big quarrel with the president. andrzej duda of poland, the blocking of goods at the border was a real blow. for the article, zaluzhnyi painted a description of how the front really lives and the truth has given many people a hard time. crimea until autumn elections in the spring and billions for reconstruction were removed from the agenda. the bank enters the new year against the background of scandals, lack of money and ammunition, and a drop in trust in the president.

the singer taylor swift became the person of the year according to the times magazine. president zelenskyi. was awarded the title of main dreamer of the year by politico, but at the final press conference it was not about dreams, but about the choice to be seen, you can be and live with skepticism, but you can also talk about the country with skepticism, and i am not ready for that, that the president is ready to do for the victory of ukraine, we will see in 2024, we reduce the expenses of government officials as much as possible. so, we can say this: from the man of the year, according to the magazine, in 2022 to the main dreamer, according to the publication of the politician, this is how i drew this transformation of the president of ukraine and the supreme commander-in-chief volodymyr zelenskyi for myself, and my colleagues will definitely have questions about this year, the president and how much he

has obviously changed, i have a question, if you allow me, i will recall... volodymyr zelenskyi was elected president and he went in the crowd of such smiling people, and he looked a bit like such a joyful boy, he was jumping up and down, he was there greeting his colleagues on his former team, so to speak, and it seems to me, after all , he was a slightly different person, now here we are for example, we saw the footage, this is a person so often with such a dramatic facial expression, and it's no secret that volodymyr'. for the most part , it is quite popular in the west, but inside the country, as they say, it happens differently, but still, there are probably some objective feelings, objective reasons , in your opinion, has volodymyr zelensky changed during this period from such a boyish, some such emotional behavior

to the present days, for example, to his last rather large press conference, so what? his emotions on this matter, although president volodymyr zelenskyy said at a press conference that his team is five or six people, one can only guess who he means, except for andriy yarmak, relatively speaking, and obviously his wife, who, in addition to being a wife, is also the first lady also performs, performs a certain work, but still, i would separate zelenskyi from everyone here, since we are talking about a person, well, on the conscience, in the hands, on whose decisions lies responsibility, responsibility for the country, i think that 2023 became such a cold shower for volodymyr zelenskyi. what to say about corruption among his entourage and, i don't know how he reacted to it, but obviously this is a kind of betrayal, the president's reason, and because... i can't talk about corruption in the performance of the president, there are no cases, there are no suspicions, there is nothing to talk about, so there can be any guesses, so this was the first such betrayal, you can say, such

blows on him, expected, obviously positive, expected positive decision at the volnik summit, maybe more positive than that , what was received, i think , was also a pity and a surprise for him, and now we will not talk about the reasons why this happened, but obviously he expected something else, no, there were no expected results from the counterattack, again, there are many reasons to call, and serhii today it will still be talked about, but it also became a certain blow, but the president passed this year under blows, let’s say like, at one time, penalty-taking soldiers there in the russian empire went through triathlons with special routines, it might have been, i would like that for this year called him, and he came to the end of this year, like a person who has a headache and such hums on his head from broken illusions that broke and fell on his head, henry thoreau said that the most painful ... fragments of broken illusions , obviously these shattered illusions, and they did him more depressing, and i believe that during this period there are some holidays, some possible

consultations, conversations, he will survive this, and it is very important what conclusions he will draw for himself, first of all, yes, who he will be able to clean in his entourage, who he will bet on, what he will refuse, and the most important thing for me is that he understood that this is all so serious that now it is not about him, it is not about his environment, it is not about his reputation, it is about him. about the fate of the state and the fate of millions of people who still remain in this state, therefore this year was a year of painful lessons, for him moral, mental, emotional and bloody lessons for the country, because soldiers died, people died, infrastructure was destroyed, and again, it is very important who will be next to him and how much he himself will be able to concentrate and to make a decision for myself as the president who is responsible for all of this, please yuriy vasylu, you know, i still want to develop this topic a little, because you know, changes are different, changes can... you are now talking about transformation, but they can to be also evolutionary changes, did volodymyr zelenskyi evolve as president in 2023, that is , did he grow from lower to higher, or did

he simply change and that's all? i saw that it was not that he evolved, he obviously just received quite painful blows from life, and many things in which he may have believed, he no longer believes in them, i think so, and what orientations he will find for himself, that he will... play and again what he will bet on will depend on the year, in many respects the year 2024, because well let's not live under illusions, that in our country collegial decisions are made, in the country the decision is actually made by president volodymyr zelenskyi, i can’t tell him what to do, you just mentioned the cold shower, the year 2023 was like that for our head of state, i think that also, well, this cold one the decrease in international aid was a blow, and this was especially noticeable. because at the end of the current year, in november, in december, it became clear that the international community is essentially waiting for something, volodymyr zelenskyi is no longer living up to his word and deed, well

huge amounts of money to ukraine, it is necessary to draw certain conclusions to international partners and then to give certain funds in a dosed manner, i think that volodymyr zelenskyi understands this, well , i think that he saw that he is already treated differently, as a person, probably . that politically, decisions are also required from him, not that you said something, you declared something, we are for you, and not only emotions, not only acting, well, let's be frank, here again, how will he spend this short-lived, he doesn't really have much time in the army there is not much time, he does not have it at all, therefore, a lot depends on his decisions, how he will spend it, it will depend on it, and again, i think, the most important thing is that he should understand that the mistakes of a century ago should not be repeated, because we everyone already saw how it ended, how? he will be reborn finally, well, we will wait, i also, i also wanted to add, because when we said after the press conference that

the president has a team, six people, the president is the seventh, and many did not name all the members until the end zelensky's team, but i will say that there was such a popular video on instagram, shot together by the popular comedian anton tymoshenko and the musician nytvorno, they recorded such a song, why is it called tatarov , it is very like that, it is very funny, it is very cool, unexpected, there, anton tymoshenko walks sadly, in a romantic park and picks up a leaf and finds these ads printed, so there where you need an e-tishnik, you need to set up a computer and also an ad with the question, why do we need tatarov, so you see, it passes for other audiences, this is already a discussion, but vasyl, briefly i would like to ask you , maybe one of my colleagues says, this is the title... dreamer of the year, i have heard so many different interpretations, some say that this is a negative characteristic, some say not in a positive way, someone says that this is something ironic, but what

do you put into this? the title of a dreamer, well, understanding that this title was given to him by a political publication, then i understand that it is quite cynical, people work there and are sober and who are really watching the world, so i think that they have there was a certain sarcasm in this, but not very positive, you can dream, the main thing is what you are ready to sacrifice and what you have in order to realize these dreams, and the main thing is to realize them not only at the expense of others, but a little somewhere account of himself, so we will see if he will be able to realize his dreams, so that they, as they say, come true, well, but in any case in... in the hands of volodymyr zelenskyi, a year has passed, ukraine has endured, despite everything, he has a chance to change everything, or at least to try, and now, having finished the conversation about volodymyr zelenskyi, we let's move on to the events outside the borders of ukraine, actually every day you heard yuriy fizar talk about it, and in fact the most important thing, the most important thing, what happened outside the borders of ukraine and what affected the events in ukraine, we

will look at it now, and then we will discuss it. a year of extremely important decisions for the future of ukraine. this is how 2023 will go down in history. we saw real support from our allies and partners around the world, but the most important thing is that ukraine is one step closer to nato and the european union. the doors to these institutions are not just open. in we were invited to the north atlantic alliance and the european union to become their full members. first, there was the nato summit in vilnius, its main achievement was the cancellation for ukraine of the requirements to fulfill the action plan regarding membership in the north atlantic alliance, instead we received real guidelines, as well as assurances that everyone is interested in ukraine joining nato as soon as possible . i hope that you understood at the summit how much we support you, that support is real, and i hope that we

have finally put an end to this. you about whether they are waiting ukraine in nato. you will become a member of the alliance, we are all moving in the right direction. general secretary jens stoltenberg summed up how important this summit was for both ukraine and nato. the decisions made in vilnius mark the beginning of a new chapter in the relations between nato and ukraine. today we meet as equals, and i look forward to the day when... we meet as members of an alliance. and then there was the summit of the european union. in mid-december , the leaders of the eu member states passed an extraordinary resolution an important decision on the start of negotiations with ukraine. this is a historical moment. it shows confidence in the european union, the strength of the european union. the decision is made. we are starting negotiations with ukraine and moldova. we want to support ukraine. this is

a very powerful political signal. this is a very powerful political decision. today i want to tell the people of ukraine that we are on their side. despite the efforts of the prime minister of hungary , viktor orbán, to block the adoption of this invitation, the eu has proven that they can find the right, and most importantly, for the necessary result - a legal decision. that's how it works, and it's really a very strong result for ukraine and for the whole of europe. one more step to your full-fledged. ukraine's membership in the eu, i thank everyone who supported and fulfilled exactly what we agreed on, thank you to everyone in ukraine, to our team, who did everything necessary, we fulfilled the recommendations of the european commission, we removed doubts, there is still a lot of work ahead, we we need to continue to implement reforms, but the most important thing is that the finish line is visible in the distance, and how quickly we will cross it and

we will become members of the eu and nato. let us write this year as an asset in ukraine or as a liability at the crossroads of international politics, yuriy, please, well, you know, vasyl, you know, colleagues, the 23rd was a difficult year, and it was difficult for each of us, in those sections , in the fields we're talking about, he was a difficult 24th, what the 24th will be, maybe even more difficult, maybe easier, i don't know. but the 24th was remembered, at least in the field in which i work, after all, as a decision, well, such historical ones, i would call it a decision and decisions, and what i stand for i want to emphasize that these decisions were made not thanks to our government, but rather contrary to what our government did. in the plot, we saw that these two landmark decisions were made at the nato summit and the european union summit, and the nato summit was held.
