of freedom led by geert wilders, he is also in favor of limiting military support. and the attention of the world was diverted from ukraine by the large-scale war in the middle east, which broke out after the fierce 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 to ukraine of more than 60 billion dollars. republicans made a categorical demand. the first to strengthen security on the border with mexico. for volodymyr zelenskyi was forced to visit the united states twice in the last three months, but he never convinced the congressmen. at a joint press conference with the 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. americans should

be proud of the role they have played in supporting ukraine's success, and we will continue to provide ukraine with the equipment and weapons it needs. as much as we can. problems with aid also arose in europe. the same viktor orban blocked the adoption of a four-year aid package for ukraine worth 50 billion euros. military support for kyiv by the international coalition has fallen to its lowest level since the start of the full-scale invasion. in the west it is increasingly heard. statements about the need to seek a diplomatic solution to the conflict, so in 2024 ukraine enters conditions of deep political, military and economic uncertainty. despite this, zelensky did at the final annual press conference optimistic statements. i believe once again that our partners will not let us down, they know the details, what is needed, how it will affect, they know how the postponement of certain dates affects us, they know about our... that it is not artificial, that it is

necessary stability for our defense. whether there are grounds for optimism will become clear at the beginning of the 24th. on january 8 , the american congress will return from vacation, and on february 1, the leaders of the european union will gather for a special summit in order to try to approve the aid package for ukraine in a second attempt. my name. andriy, i am from the city of bila tserkva , in the kyiv region, i and my comrades went voluntarily, initially a full-scale, full-scale invasion . , and in the volunteer, let’s say, business, and... recently we

even took courses in aerial reconnaissance, uav and drone control, even flew a certain number of hours, let’s say, on mavics, everyone knows, and well, we voluntarily joined benches with with my two tours, now in the ranks of the armed forces , i don’t have such a feeling of fear, i used to work there as a mountaineer, i always worked at heights and... over time, this feeling of fear somehow atrophies, yes, of course, many of my friends are in hot places, they probably inspired with their actions and so on, i, well, it's not even that i have a family, i have friends, i don't have children yet, my friends have children, i want , that they should live in a free, independent country, and considering that i had never had one before, let's say this, the relation of weapons

, i did not have such a thing, it is very important for me, in principle , i was very familiar with this course, i emphasized something for myself, i took a new one, literally , there will definitely not be too much, on the contrary, it is a big plus, i congratulate those who who is watching us, welcome to those who are joining our airwaves, we are working from shelter, hope you all are also in a safe place, the air alert has spread. already the entire territory of ukraine, all because the mig 31k took off from the mozdok airfield, so take care, and we will now to talk about kharkiv oblast, more specifically about the kupian direction, and andriy kanashevich, the head of the kupian district military administration, is in touch with us. glory to ukraine, mr. andrii. congratulations to the heroes of glory. mr. andriy, i analyzed the summary, the results of the general staff for... different days during

the day, and this is how it looks, for example, in the last day, immediately after midnight they hit kupyansk, then in half an hour again in kupyansk . then it's already morning and it's literally 10-15 minutes from one village to another and i'll shake again and it goes on like this all the time constant frequent shelling, what does it look like in your place, does the air raid alarm sound, do people have the opportunity to go to shelter somewhere or simply do not react anymore, because it goes on all the time, especially if it is at night. we understand that those who have children, people with limited mobility, it is generally very, very difficult, but at the moment we are talking to you now, and i am receiving reports that the enemy's aviation has reached certain boundaries in order to launch guided aerial bombs ,

which fly precisely to those settlements which are located along the front line, and this situation has existed for a long time, well, of course, it is difficult to get used to... this is difficult, but we can say that there is a certain habituation, we definitely have air alarms, and we have set up on the left bank, in those populated areas that are under constant shelling, bombardment, it was agreed with the military that they turn on this air alarm, not only when it goes off all over the country, but when such an aircraft takes off somewhere on... on the border of luhansk region and the russian federation, we try to constantly work on this issue, we keep it under control, but people usually stay at home at night , and this night was like that for us, and unfortunately,

we have an injured woman, the injury is minor, nevertheless, she was taken away, hospitalized in the city of kharkiv, it will take place here. treatment , well, at night, we had artillery shelling in the city of kupyansk, we have the destruction of an educational institution, we got into a kindergarten, there is the destruction of the private sector, that is, you can say that the night was so hot, mr. andriy, and what did they they got caught in that sticky, it's a small settlement, last year it was under occupation, the year before last, i apologize, they were liberated near kharkov, why is this settlement being bombarded with 10 rocket strikes in a few days? liptsi is no longer the kupinsky district, it is the kharkiv district, but it is the direction exactly from kharkiv to belgorod, and perhaps the enemy

is trying to probe our defenses and understand where the armed forces of ukraine are located in order to, perhaps, do the same again as the last ones. sometimes there is information out there that they will not be there, they allegedly intend to do it again on the other hand, try to get out in the direction of kharkiv, that is why we see that for the last 4-5 days , aviation has been used quite actively in that direction, and guided air bombs are arriving in small settlements, where even people do not live, well... there may be an explanation , and quite actively, what is the number, what is the frequency, and compared to the previous period, before , for example, two or three weeks ago, how many percent, for example, have changed, have these arrivals become more frequent? well, according to the

information i have, if you take it there two weeks ago, there was no shelling by guided aerial bombs in that direction at all, and if you look... somewhere 3-4 days ago, there was information about the use of guided aerial bombs in the direction of liptsi morokhovets, there is such a small village where no people live , then such use was more than in our direction of kupyansk, that is , we saw that information about the launch of air bombs came much more often than in kupyansk, so we can say that there is a certain aggravation there, and the enemy has... there are some intentions in this direction, you see, you say that from this side, perhaps, they have some intention to resume offensive operations, the british telegraph writes that the russians also want to advance and even mention a specific date, like january 15, this

is the time when they want to resume attacks and offensive in the kuptin direction, officially the armed forces of ukraine deny this, but do you? are you observing some gatherings of the russian visa, maybe they are pulling up reserves, maybe there are some, i don’t know, combat coordination or something else is taking place there, are you notice any? which may indicate that something may also be changing, or may proceed more actively? i can only say that over the past few days, the enemy has significantly reduced the number of assaults in the direction of the village of senkivka and in the direction of the settlement of petropavlivka, while previously the number of such attacks and assaults reached 20 per day. so now for the last few days their uh they're uh somewhere between four and

seven of them like it was tonight maybe the enemy has already run out of steam, maybe they have some rotational actions there, the military will tell you better, i have such information, i do not have such information at the moment, but the fact that the enemy... has suffered significant losses in manpower there over the last month , that’s for sure, and i spoke with the military, they told me, showed me video from quadcopters, then we can say that there were a lot of them, and they are going in the same direction to sinkivka, and accordingly, the battles are literally taking place there on in the forest on one patch. land and already such a situation it turns out that our soldiers also understand how

they enter, but they do not change their tactics and therefore simply go to these meat assaults and lie down there and that's all, that is, this situation continues, but the intensity has decreased a little. mr. andriy, thank you for the information, for this analysis, andriy kanashevich, the head of the kupin district military administration, was in touch with us. let me remind you that there is an air alert in the country, stay in shelters and monitor our airwaves from there, and we are moving south to the coast of the sea of ​​azov, and with us peter andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of mariupol , glory to ukraine, mr. peter, glory, are the waves of air raids in mariupol, as they are now all over the country, different from other times when air raids are sounded in mariupol at all, because we understand... that somewhere it flies a little, probably in other directions,

well, officially the occupiers do not turn on the air alarm, do not notify about the threat of strikes, about the passage of our uavs or something else, if we talk about the civilian population, about the military, about military bases, we we observe that really all military bases are equipped with stealth, bomb shelters are installed in them or bomb shelters are used, and at least the military is moving. in the shelter, when there is such a threat , and this, that is, if the air defense is working in the city, for example, or around the city, then for the most part the absolute majority there, the absolute majority of the occupiers are in the shelter at that time, unlike civilians, who are not informed of anything , the only thing there constantly through the occupying public and throw in that it or, as they write, works our army, or the air defense system works, because there is nothing to report about, especially, and those who... write, they simply do not understand and do not know what is really happening. and what is the situation with the shelters in mariupol and whether

the civilian population or ukrainians who remain in mariupol have the opportunity to somehow get this information, in the end just by watching how the russian military behaves, or well, now in the 21st century there are already so many ways to get information, various telegram channels, partisans and so on, whether there are any... movements in that direction, so that civilians are also safe? well, relatively speaking , as far as we know, as far as we observe, our civilians, in principle , are safe, being in mariupol, even taking into account that the occupiers are constantly covering them, our armed forces do not carry out any strikes and no damage, if there is a threat of damage of the civilian population, so from this side we can definitely say that the people of mariupol are safe, on the other hand, as for receiving information, it seems to us that there are a lot of channels for receiving it while being on the territory of free ukraine or somewhere in the civilized world, because taking into account

the quality that is blocked, as well as what is monitored directly in mariupol, it is added simply, well , even this cannot be called the work of mobile operators or providers working in mariupol, i.e. the quality of communication is actually very bad, so it is quite difficult to get information in an operational manner, and the people of mariupol have invented a way to ... to inform each other of some loud explosions, and trying to understand what from'. at that time, i know for sure that they are starting to monitor our telegram channels, meaning those that are run either directly by our partisans or directly from the territory of ukraine, you who follow and monitor the situation around mariupol and the mariupol district and receive information from there , so it's a 50/50 situation actually in terms of getting true information, so the occupiers

are trying to close all channels as much as possible connection in order to create, you know, such an informational one. a bubble that nothing is happening, and from there actually was born a set of stamps that people are constantly told about explosions, about attacks by the armed forces of ukraine on warehouses, about the placement of occupation, occupation troops. mr. peter, what about access to the internet, how about access to ukrainian resources, do the residents of mariupol have the opportunity to use it, or are there any loopholes, and is this the kind of control that is sometimes written about, that access to you can get the internet almost with russian documents that are fully tracked, what people watch, who they communicate with, what information and where they get it from, well, in fact, there is access, people get access, with television it is clear

that it is difficult television, where everything is russian for free, in relation to information... space, if you do not take, relatively speaking, whatsapp, which is currently blocked almost completely, whatsapp, instagram, facebook, for example, yes, these messengers are blocked and social networks are blocked quite strongly, the only telegram remains global, and that is why the people of mariupol receive the information they need through it, whether they are being tracked, whether the occupiers are trying to track them, yes, but, for that, you need to understand how it works, and in principle, you can easily you avoid any monitoring in real time, let’s say, the situation is different and directly concerns, for example, people who work for the occupying power, the so-called state employees, those in an official manner and even reported, but this situation for about a year, they were set up by the appropriate

tracking programs into their state, to which their numbers are registered, and from there it is tracked, again, if you have a very strong desire ... to get clean access, it is, well, a long separate conversation, yes, well, we are trying to prove to our people , how can it be done, it can be done safely, actually in order to be in contact, but really the occupiers are trying to constantly track, this summer alone , at least 40 separate veshes were installed, which not only provide communication between the occupiers , and also carry monitoring and control tools mobile internet traffic. chess, well, i’ll say it again, if you look at the internet and are a regular user, it is very difficult to track you, for that you need separate additional data, and here, unfortunately, the situation is not getting any better either, because these waitstaff who remained in the city, who actively cooperate with the occupation authorities , you know, the system of denunciations, unfortunately, it works the same as it was there during stalin's time,

the only thing is that their number and the number of people who take such steps is much smaller, and this in basically provides there is a certain safety zone for the people who stayed in mariupol, well, however, well, the regime is growing, regarding mobile communications, numbers, the internet and passports, their registration, for about a year already, really, and you can't get a new number and you can't to receive a mobile phone if you are not registered, have not submitted your documents, that is, in this regard, everything is really tracked, but here it is for our benefit and for the benefit of information. ukraine's support of the occupied territories plays a global role in the fact that when the occupiers, well, the occupation began, yes, these mobile cards were distributed by mobile operators to a large number just like that, so even the operators themselves, the occupiers themselves do not know who, what, how many and to whom these mobile numbers belong to today, they

are trying to organize it there, fortunately there is not enough in they are riveted, how can it be made fast enough, well... well, i repeat, the quality of the communication itself and the equipment itself is so bad that it does not ensure not only the normal operation of the internet, but also feedback, it does not provide normal surveillance, which the occupiers are so tired of. mr. petar, i also want to ask about the exhibition in italy in relation to mariupol, you probably know about the fact that you were lucky, so they are preparing the exhibition that they want to hold in italy, and about the revival in quotes. mariupol is under occupation, of course, it is done by propagandists, some probably sympathizers and friends of russia, or perhaps the local population in order to clearly show what is under occupation. the situation in mariupol is much better than when these territories were under control kyiv, the ukrainian embassy in italy has already turned to the italian authorities and asked

to cancel this scandalous exhibition, what was the reaction in the city itself, is there a possibility of the community, maybe representatives of mariupol living in italy, because we know that there are already many of our people everywhere convey that truth from the first in... well, such a situation really exists, as far as we know, the mayor of modeny, where such an exhibition should actually take place, has already reacted, and reacted positively for us, negatively for this exhibition, in the end, i i think that nothing will happen there, regarding the ukrainians and mariupol people who are in italy, it is clear that we will try, if it still happens, they will still try to pass it, i think that we will find tools to block it. and a public reaction directly in italy, but i think , again, that it will not come to that, the people of mariupol who are in evacuation, i

understand our reaction, i think it is very transparent, here you know, the situation is different, we are two we have been talking about the same thing for years, and this is the question again, sorry to our investigative bodies, well, in particular for our prosecutor's office, with which we all try to argue together with certain investigative bodies and special services. the fact is that a whole pool of propagandists is constantly in mariupol, using it in the context in which they are trying to present this exhibition, the same exhibition is not organized by russians, relatively speaking, but formally, formally, it is organized by citizens, citizens of italy, who systematically come to mariupol and cover it in social networks and on various channels that they provided by the russians, and from our side , it is meant from the side of ukraine, there is still no, well , conditionally speaking, suspicion of an international ... investigation or something else, because it is frankly a crime, to make it absolutely impossible for those who are already doing it, continue to do this and hold such exhibitions in particular, and for

those who think about doing it, well, again , yes, he should think 10 times, and whether he will be able to travel freely in europe, he will not end up behind bars, so here the question is not only about public reaction, which of course exists and it is accordingly understandable, but here is the question probably, unfortunately to... our certain part of our law enforcement system, let's say this, mr. peter, thank you very much for the information, thank you for participating in our live broadcast, petro andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of mariupol, regarding this exhibition, i will remind you a few words that it was allegedly taken by cultural figures to italian modena, this is an association of cultural figures, obviously, as mr. petro said, with russian views, which... want to show that the city develops much better during the occupation and that the city is much in fact, it is more comfortable than during the time when

ukrainians ruled the city and the city was under the control of the kyiv authorities and our ukrainian authorities, they reacted already in italy to the appeal of the ukrainian embassy and canceled the holding of such an exhibition, but in fact this is not the first incident, there have been such attempts before, well, we assume that in the future they may want to carry out some similar things and actually organize such provocations on the territory of other countries, and italy lends itself to this, because there is a very large diaspora there, both ukrainian and russian, and accordingly , the russians are trying to influence many people in ukraine in this way. or 150 -millimeter artillery shells of indian production, such conclusions were drawn based on the videos that the ukrainian military shared on social networks, they show

these shells during the loading of self-propelled howitzers, which is true, these shells were supplied not from india, but through poland, the indian side also denies information that they supply them to ukraine, they say that they observe neutrality, well, that scheme itself, when... weapons, ammunition can come to us through third countries, it is quite possible, we will talk about this further in our broadcasts today, and now we are going to take a short break, stay with espresso, then the broadcast will continue the news, wow, i have walked the waters. ordinary water is not enough here, drink reo. i'm saving myself, reo. you're ready, honey, ready, took reo. reo - water for special medical
