on the territory of the russian federation. the scouts replaced the only road used by the invaders in the border district of hayvoron. in addition , they attacked the russian platoon stronghold with mortars and... small arms. in at that time , active engineering work was being carried out at the russian positions, because they were waiting for an inspection from moscow. fraudsters have begun to profit from the exchange of prisoners that took place a few days ago, warns the coordination headquarters for the treatment of prisoners of war. they say that profiles of allegedly released prisoners appeared on social networks. from the fake pages , the perpetrators allegedly promise to provide information about the soldiers they saw in captivity, and then ask for money under various pretexts. in the headquarters were urged not to trust such reports, but to use only official information. and to operational information from

the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. 62 combat clashes took place at the front during the day. there were intense battles near avdiyivka and. in donetsk region, where our defenders repelled several dozen attacks, in kherson the enemy does not stop trying to knock our units out of their positions. tried unsuccessfully to storm 13 times. the defense forces will continue measures to expand the bridgehead. the occupiers fired five rockets and 25 air strikes, carried out more than 30 attacks from rocket salvo systems on the positions of our troops and populated areas. the ukrainian defense forces struck the areas of concentration of enemy personnel five times from the air, and also hit two enemy control points. even the jordanian water covered them, another 800 russian invaders were eliminated by the armed forces of ukraine

in the last day. so the nearly 364,000 occupiers who have died since the start of the full-scale invasion will never get a chance to dive again. opolonko, also for yesterday's strength defenses burned seven enemy tanks, 16 armored combat vehicles and 13 art systems. in addition, one and a half dozen of their drones, several air defense systems and a rocket salvo fire system were landed. the data added by the general staff are indicative. the new rules for importing humanitarian aid have changed the work of volunteers. how did they affect the activities of charitable foundations and do they help to fight. with corruption, our correspondents found out. roman horbach, representative of the charity foundation modern ukraine. the foundation transfers humanitarian goods for residents of the frontline regions, implements cultural projects and purchases ammunition for the military. on december 28, roman

drove a four-wheel drive suv from france. the vehicle will go to the 14th separate brigade of the armed forces of ukraine. today at the checkpoint in hrynyi dolgobuchyv. i had to stand for 5 hours from the moment i drove up to schleckbaum from the polish side until the moment i left. the volunteer drove the car using the humanitarian aid's electronic accounting system, which became operational on december 1, 2023. digital declaration makes theft impossible goods, however, it complicates the work of volunteers, explains volodymyr havrysh, president of the charity foundation modern ukraine. first of all, in order to arrange all this, you need to type. professional accountants, lawyers , who will be able to do this, and this is a big problem, because the costs of wages, of increasing the staff, this burden goes to charitable funds, i would like, within the framework of the war,

to remove these restrictions on funds, who actually do the work, the new rules oblige volunteers to declare customs cargoes in electronic format, to distribute aid within... three months after its import and to submit reports by the 15th of each month, however, these changes have a negative impact on the amount of aid from foreigners. this is a big burden, and to a greater extent it is foreign donors who refuse this declaration. the question is still quite important : if, for example, we are importing winter, some summer items, there is no question about how we should distribute this humanitarian aid within a 90-day period. the authorities agreed to certain concessions. on december 21 , 2023, the president signed the law on simplifying the rules for the import, accounting and distribution of humanitarian aid. the innovation concerns the importation of imported cars.

from now on , servicemen can receive vehicles as well as individuals. from january 21, law 91/11 and welfare comes into force. funds that import cars for themselves can transfer them not only to military units, as is currently the case, but also to military individuals. who need this help. while volunteers are registering in automated system, the cabinet of ministers allowed the import of aid based on paper declarations. until april 1, 2024, the electronic declaration procedure will remain voluntary. kateryna oliynyk, andriy polikovskyi, espresso tv channel. this concludes the episode, read more on our website espresso.tv, also on our social networks, join, like statuses. next day , say hello to my colleague. do not switch to novosychanska, stay with the espresso team.

good morning, i am picking up the information relay on the air of the tv channel, it is ongoing informational marathon. but before i go on to engage our guests today, to discuss what happened in the country during the last night, the last day, and to analyze the situation in general, i would like to remind you that we are raising funds for our defenders , more specifically for the 93rd separate mechanized brigade kholodny yar, 5 million uah is our very ambitious goal, we want to use these funds to buy a batch of kamikaze drones and send them to our defenders, this is exactly that brigade. which is known for its, its work, successful work, often on very hot

destinations, donetsk airport, ilovaisk, sumy, kharkiv, last year, soledar, bakhmud, all these points, they were there, they know what the work looks like, what the needs are there, and accordingly, we respond to these needs we are currently collecting the qr codes, numbers, cards you see on the screen now, please keep them for yourself and donate them to the holiday. this is really the best gift, the best thing that we here in the rear can do for our defenders, if you do it regularly, it will be very, very good in general. summarizing the current night, two downed shaheds in two different regions, in the south and khmelnytskyi region, minus 800 russians and the destruction of the occupiers' airfield near sak. however , we will talk in more detail with natalya gumenyuk, the head of the united coordination press center of the defense forces of southern ukraine. good morning, i hope, mrs. colonel, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine.

ms. natalya, well, i can't start with anything other than saki. tell what it was, how it was, the russians are there, and the residents of the temporarily occupied crimea write about the explosions. what is it and it is still too early for them to know what it was, how it was, what is important for us is that it happened, in addition, it is necessary to understand that they are really ahead... hiding, changing their bases, trying to hide, including in an atypical method where they used to be based, that is why we have a lot of work, the tracking is thorough, and we continue to increase the effectiveness of this work, and as soon as it is voluminous enough, then we will report back, we are not conducting the process yet, ms. natalya, we understand that the airfield as such... a logistical element, it is very important the matter is what was there, whether it was known at that moment

, at the moment when, when it exploded, it is too early to talk about what was there, i will note once again that a specific object is really being developed, but one must realize that in the conditions of a hybrid during the war, the enemy also uses certain tricks, tries to introduce us to the team in some way, tries to hide his own potential, therefore... we do not give information in advance, we check it carefully and only confirmed data will be announced, but can you tell us now, who worked, what forces were there involved in this work, here we have in the message from the air force that about thanking our pilots for such a wonderful job, were rockets also possibly involved, it is really clear that no... this work was done by a personal approach and a flap of the wing, they worked we remotely

, as much as it is safe for the use of our aviation, including, we are trying to convince our partners and thank them for their support, precisely to convince that the telecobile weapon is the main component that will help us destroy the enemy's capabilities, and then we will finish the work on the ground. is it possible to tell something more about the explosions of the previous day in crimea and about yevpatoria in particular? this is a work that is complex and it is not yet complete. the next will be, as they say in artistic films, and i hope that it will be quite artistic. so far it is known that we really have confirmation of the defeat of one of the command points, one of the points of communication and coordination, and the weakening of the air defense of the peninsula. relaxation, to what extent they

still have air defense, and in what part the peninsula is more concentrated. of these air defense systems, where they are more vigilant, more concerned about being shot down? well, they keep watch everywhere where there are very important objects, it is clear that around that and unnecessary construction, they have a lot of commotion and smoke that is thrown across the kerch strait, they also have many military objects of increased importance on the peninsula itself, which they are trying to... protect with air defense systems, one must understand that these systems are not stationary, they are all mobile and mobile and of course can to move, and actually we are now watching the reformatting of this defense network, which is deployed quite powerfully in crimea, so we still have a lot of work to do on

the destruction and on the effectiveness of this defense, and we will continue to work, but as this illegal city is now consuming, again with there are these cases, when it was blocked, then there was some kind of smoke, training or something, how are they doing on that side? and yes, indeed, i was just talking about this, that this is a structure that has a special destiny, and it is obvious that this destiny is shrinking every day, the fact that they they try to hide it with smoke. this is one of the ways of countering during an air threat, this is also one of the examples of their air defense, they shoot down something and cover something, and this is how they try to counter those threats that are increasing day by day, in addition, they continue to arrange there are ibon

barriers, because they understand that the bridge is blocked not only from the air, but... also from the sea , the probability of damage is no less, because they have already suffered such damage, on the other hand, combat work and recruitment continue the most effective methods of influence. what does the enemy grouping in the black sea, in the sea of ​​azov look like now, are there any changes that they are bringing out, maybe you are following some trends, at the moment they have established all... base points, before that there were two frigates alternating in the black sea, according to the weather they each had eight calibers, which means that they continue to be in a high state of readiness, but the stormy weather forced them to enter their base points. in general, the ship group of the enemy is boiled from six to

nine units, they patrol the coastal waters. not daring to go beyond tarkhankut in particular. ugh. mrs. natalya, regarding the south of ukraine, regarding the left bank, we observe that they continue to be active, they continue to try to beat our defenders, from there they pull up to there, uh, more people, more armored vehicles, what exactly are they pulling and are the weather conditions actually on it allows something to be really... hard to attach, how do they get there? so far, weather conditions and the landscape as a whole allow them to use armored vehicles, it is usually armored personnel carriers, with which they try to strengthen the assault groups, they also deploy new firing positions, after suffering

from our counter-battery fight, they try to pull up artillery and rockets. volley fire systems in order to continue to terrorize the local population of the right bank and destroy the infrastructure there in order to put pressure on the defense forces, as means of logistics including. that night, in particular and in general this combat day, we counted 13 skirmishes, all of which were repulsed by our troops, the enemy retreated with losses to... to their previous positions, they drag equipment there from two directions, they manage to pull up a renewed reserve from the crimea, in most cases it is from zaporizhzhya. direction from time to time , additional resources are drawn in in order to maintain this southern direction as well, well, yesterday we

also spoke with the kherson region, with representatives of the kherson region, and we were told that on the right bank, actually opposite the wells, is the tyagin community, actually tyaginka , surrounding villages, novotyaginka, what is there really very, very dangerous, the situation is difficult and factual. did they call this territory the territory of hostilities, or are the russians physically trying to get to that bank somewhere, because the dnipro is quite narrow there, and it is possible that they will try to get there despite the shelling under fire , but what is the situation? and what's the point? please tell the russians, in the number of four or five people, to reach the right bank, where they are, where all the defense forces of ukraine will be waiting for them. there is absolutely no sense and there are no such attempts, absolutely, firstly, secondly, bombing, which the enemy coordinates right there,

in the tyagen direction, in the tyagen community, in the bereslav region as a whole, lead to the fact that they completely destroy the infrastructure of these settlements and try to strike right along the coast, in order to disrupt the logistics of the defense forces that provide. on the left bank, but we know our area, our land better, so for us this is not the most critical turn of events, and the russians themselves did not make any, not a single attempt to return to the right bank, firstly, it is much higher than the left, and every movement attempt in the reverse order, say, from the left bank of the direction, is covered by powerful artillery fire. thank you, madam, congratulations, well... may that water, ukrainian, dnipro, and today also jordanian, help us in the fight against the enemy and push them further and further. natalya gumenyuk, colonel, head

of the united coordination press center of the defense forces of southern ukraine, was on our airwaves , we will talk about kharkiv oblast next , i will remind you that the british telegraph wrote that the russians are probably planning an offensive there, in a week, we'll talk about it in a few minutes. there are discounts on bronchi pred of 20% in pharmacies plantain you and save. attention, an incredible novelty from rozpak tv: super warm and very comfortable alaska stayle boots - perfect fit, water-repellent material and a feeling of warmth even in 30-degree frost. alaska stayle boots have a versatile design and practical black color, so they will suit both men and women. dimensions from 36th to 46th, so get two pairs at once for you and your husband. side zippers will provide perfect fit, even on the widest leg. the insulation perfectly retains heat and

in the inability to think that she can be wrong. but there is no doubt that it was thatcher's reforms that laid the foundations for the welfare of the state for many years to come. she was the prime minister who truly eradicated socialism from the system. in today's world there is a great lack of leaders of the caliber of margaret thatcher, it is all the more interesting to take another look at the extraordinary life and times of this formidable woman. come back if you want. the lady only goes forward. documentary thatcher only ahead january 7 at 10:10 and 22:00 on espresso. on february 20, 2023, us president joseph biden will make an unannounced visit to kyiv. the cameras record how he, together with president zelenskyi, leaves the st. michael's cathedral to the sounds of an air-raid alarm. the visit was more

than symbolic. at the beginning of the year, the west united in support of our state. german chancellor olaf scholz finally gave permission for deliveries of modern leopard-2 tanks to kyiv, and ukrainian servicemen have already mastered american patriot systems in the state of oklahoma. it seemed that support for ukraine was stronger than ever. we have created a coalition of countries from the atlantic to the pacific around the world. more than 50 nations are helping ukraine defend itself with unprecedented military, economic, and humanitarian support. we will be with you as long as necessary. at that time, there were only a few voices against arms deliveries, the loudest of them being the prime minister of hungary , viktor orbán, who never tired of calling

for so-called peace, even if... ukraine would have to give up its territories. if you look at the truth, if you look at the numbers, if you look at the fact that nato is not ready to send its troops to ukraine, then it becomes obvious: the poor ukrainians cannot win on the battlefield, which means that de-escalation and peace negotiations are needed. at the beginning of june, the ukrainian counteroffensive in the south finally began, it did not achieve quick results and already at the nato summit. the first disappointment awaited the freedom of kyiv. allies have clearly stated that they are not ready to invite ukraine to the alliance. we must take a sober look at the current situation. the ukrainian authorities themselves recognize the impossibility of becoming a nato member while the war continues. our goal is sustainable military supporting ukraine, in particular, with modern western weapons and strengthening ukraine's economic stability during its defense against russia.

towards the end of the summer, it becomes finally clear that the results of the counteroffensive are more than modest. the international coalition is beginning to show cracks. in the spring, half a year before the parliamentary elections in poland , the right-wing government of mateusz murovecki banned the supply of ukrainian agricultural products. kyiv and warsaw exchanged a number of harsh statements. and in november, polish carriers began a large-scale blockade of the border with ukraine. on september 30 , the party of ex-prime minister robert fico, a categorical opponent of military aid to ukraine, won the parliamentary elections in slovakia, one of our biggest allies in the region stopped sending weapons to the armed forces of ukraine. in november, europe was stunned by the results of the parliamentary elections in the netherlands. the far-right freedom party led by geert wilders won the first place there. he is also in favor of limiting military support. and i will turn the world's attention

away from ukraine. large-scale war in the middle east, which flared up after the violent attack of the islamist group hamas on israel. but the biggest problems were waiting for kyiv in the united states. the american congress de facto plunged into the election campaign and refused to support the aid package for ukraine of more than 60 billion dollars. republicans put forward a categorical demand, first to strengthen security on the border with mexico. within three months, volodymyr zelenskyi was forced to visit the railway station twice. states, but never convinced congressmen. at a joint press conference with ukrainian leader on december 12 , president joseph biden used completely different wording than in kyiv at the beginning of the year. ukraine will emerge from this war strong, proud and firmly anchored in the western system, if we do not leave it.
