handle left and right, everything is elementary, he came up, fasted and that's it, nothing is complicated for him. adrenaline from nowadays, the boys dream of destroying all the shaheds and missiles of the russians in the ukrainian sky and returning home as soon as possible. i have children, a wife, mother, brothers, all in ukraine, so i am also worried about it, so that it does not hit my relatives. oleksandra kulib and nikita vorobyov, tv channel rada for... 15 years in prison, the court announced the sentence to denys kulikovsky, better known by the nickname palich. he was the commandant of the isolation, torture camp that the russians created in occupied donetsk. as reported by the press service of the prosecutor general's office, kulikovsky, in particular, was found guilty of participating in a terrorist organization. prosecutors

what happened to the city? all that was left were the ruins. dmytro calculates the exact coordinates of the targets, this time they work on the accumulation of enemy manpower and firing positions. our reconnaissance equipment discovered an enemy mortar and we conducted training on it, as well as a live one hidden there strength, and of course the bull, the field is more like this area, it's a little more difficult here, we work constantly without a break. some work, the crew is still working on the old soviet gvozdyk sau, and the age of the equipment does not affect combat work, - assures serviceman mykhailo, the main thing is to keep the equipment in good condition. and not to delay the repair , we are looking after the car so that it is normal, that there are no such excesses that are needed for work, but there are none, or if i don’t shoot my something there or

wedge after wedge, however, he says, in the winter it became it's more difficult to disguise yourself, when you shoot a second time, you have to finish it off, it blows away with the recoil of the air, but it still drops, and the masset burns a second time, well... everything happens. anatoliy in this crew, the gunner says, was offered more than once to learn to work on more modern and new equipment and refused. i once served in soviet times on this gun, it is more familiar to me and easier to control, it may have been more difficult for me to relearn on the same computer. here the fire does not subside, neither day nor night, at any moment you have to hit the targets again of the occupiers, because the position of the artillery depends on the work of the artillery... behind these monitors, the commander of the nazar artillery battery

monitors the movements of the occupiers in real time. based on this intelligence, we worked one mortar at a time, the target was hit. under his command are two crews that hit the enemy from the air, the guy is 21. he has been at the front for a year, he says, he left immediately after graduating from the military academy. chose his career and his life path from an early age, this is the first, well , there is no turning back from this, well secondly, well, this is my country, and i also have loved ones, relatives, who are at home, but i don’t want them to come home, they are tired, but every day they destroy the occupiers and sooner dream of liberating... our native land, our work now defend, there are no days off in war , you can adapt to everything, we adapt as

best we can, if we do not stand here, then there will be no victory at home, and it is better for them not to start living there, they must also understand this, oleksandr kryvokutskyi from donetsk region, volodymyr setyuk, rada tv channel for summaries, the only main thing, every day. the sky and do not let the enemy disappear from the field of view, detect hundreds of targets and catch russian saboteurs, aerial reconnaissance fighters say that drones are extremely important in modern warfare, each of us can help our donors right now, on the screens you see a qr code, it must be scanned by pointing camera of your smartphone and donate the amount you can currently afford. they changed the course of the war in the black sea and already attacked more than one russian ship, in particular , the operations to destroy illegally

the established crimean bridge. sibebi and mamai sea drones are a unique development of the security service of ukraine. they say that only their specialists were involved in the creation and did without the help of private or foreign companies. how did surface drones come about and what can we expect from them in the future? karina podlenko will tell more. the beginning of a full-scale invasion. russia dominates the black sea. at the same time, the president of ukraine instructs the security service to do everything to expel the enemy from there. this is the task of the supreme commander-in-chief of the president of ukraine, to cut the corresponding enemy logistical artery, which feeds enemy troops in the south of ukraine. russia's control and superiority in the black sea gave them a number of winning positions. firstly, the enemy had fire control over the ukrainian coast, secondly, they could land on our ukrainian

territory from their amphibious ships. thirdly, due to their dominance in the black sea, they obstructed the trade routes that we have. seebaby marine drones were created to perform the task. a team of professionals worked on the development sbu employees, engineers, it specialists and military sailors. a small six-meter boat. capable of carrying up to four points of 2 tons of payload across the black sea at high speed. it is not just a marine drone, but a technological platform that can be prepared for various technological solutions. babies were used for the first time in july 2023. during the preparation of a special operation to attack the illegally installed crimean bridge, the security service received information, including from open sources, including one of these. became a video of a russian woman. video recording of a russian woman who was vacationing in the area of ​​the crimean bridge on a yacht and filmed the internal structures of the arch of the bridge. this information gave us insight

into which. at which point you need to attack the bridge to cause maximum damage to it. as a result of the second attack on the crimean bridge , railway and road routes were damaged. from a military point of view, this is again the cutting of a logistical artery. when we first hit it last year on october 8, they had been restoring it for over 8 months, and everything, that is, means of defeat, military equipment, weapons, they rearranged at that time. was already crossed by an alternative pontoon crossing, the bridge did not fully function, currently, after the last impression, it is still under repair to this day. the crimean bridge is doomed, it is an illegal construction on the territory of ukraine, so it has no place here. in particular, this year, sibebi drones also hit the missile carriers samum and pavel derzhavin, and also damaged a large military tugboat, nikolay muru, and the latest reconnaissance and hydrographic ship vladimir kozitskyi. this is completely the law. for us

, the goal, in accordance with the norms of the geneva convention, other norms of international law, current legislation, customs, traditions, and the conduct of war, is a completely legal goal. russia's dominance in the black sea has come to an end, it is being pushed out of the black sea, this is recognized both in ukraine and abroad, in fact, the russian navy is currently chained to its home ports. to conduct operations in the black sea, the sbu created another surface drone, mamai. it's not easy. an experimental or pilot thing is a thing which passed combat tests and proved its effectiveness, in particular thanks to the drones of the sbu mamai, already this year two russian ships were hit near the port in novorossiysk, this is the amphibious assault ship oleniehorsky harnyak, as well as the tanker sikh. and while western partners admire ukrainian inventions, the enemy perceives surface vehicles acutely and painfully, - say the security service. this is a painful blow to them.

because in addition to the direct military objective we are pursuing, the direct destruction or destruction of ships, it is also a blow to them image-wise, yes, that is, sbu drones, they changed the philosophy of naval operations in general, they shook the myth of the invincibility of the russian navy, and now the sbu is preparing new inventions based on the sibaby technological platform. there will be many surprises later, and not only in relation to crimea... karina podlynko, ihor sulii, maksym maslenikov, tv channel rada. to summarize, the only thing is important. during the year , the production capacities of the ukrainian defense and industrial complex will be increased by six, the prime minister announced denys shmyhal at the first meeting of the government this year. according to him, increasing own military production will be the key task of 2024. production

capacity. of the ukrainian defense industry tripled in 2023, the ambitious goal for the current year is to increase by six. this means more drones, more shells, more ammunition and armored vehicles for our military. therefore , we are entering the new year 2024 with new forces , confident in our own capabilities and the solidarity of our allies, ready for new challenges and firmly believing in our victory. the prime minister also noted that since the beginning of the year , the minimum salary has increased to uah 7,100, the minimum pension to uah 2,360, and the subsistence minimum has increased to uah 2,920. at the same time , the cabinet assured that pensions and social benefits to ukrainians will be paid on time this year. no russian diamonds, eu sanctions have come into effect.
