igor terekhov. in the vovchansk community, the russians attacked the social infrastructure building. specialized services are available on site. and in dnipro, the residents of the damaged dormitory are still cleaning up the consequences of the terrorist attack. the enemy targeted the building in the evening of january 6. until recently , more than two dozen families lived here. nowadays , the wind is blowing, because not a single pane has survived. people take out bags of garbage, fix everything they can. but return. not everyone will be able to live here, because some apartments too spoiled. nearby, a point for receiving statements about damaged property was opened. in addition to a dormitory in dnipro, an educational institution, high-rise buildings, private houses and the building's administration were damaged, dozens of cars were damaged or burned. a house in which 22 families lived was hit, but fortunately no one was injured. the rescuers saved. from there

, six people, two of whom were children, and two people in general went to the ambulance for help, because it all flew apart, we were sitting in the basement, everything was falling on our heads, i think, us and stop there, well, they are alive, healthy , we will restore everything, but what to do, well, our apartment is more or less intact, only the windows, only the windows, the door, the entrance, and yes, only the car, i think that we will not live here, here still ... you can put up with it, the bathroom is completely unusable, the ceiling there has completely sunk, well, that is, does it make sense to restore it, probably not. a large-scale fire in st. petersburg, warehouses caught fire at midnight in the southeast of the city, more than 400 m2 were on fire, reports say that a metal hangar on the far eastern avenue caught fire first, and later the fire spread further.

the fire still cannot be extinguished, and the area of ​​ignition is growing. firefighters are recruiting more and more forces to fight the fire. there have been no reports of casualties, and the cause of the fire is currently unknown. it also became known that allegedly cardboard and polyethylene were stored in the hangar. and the leaders of the republicans and democrats in the us congress reached an agreement on financing the government in 2024, and... in order to prevent a shutdown, it is proposed to allocate 1.660 billion dollars. the washington post writes that the deal may face a frenzy opposition from far-right republicans, who are in favor of a sharp reduction in the budget. today, lawmakers return to work after the holidays, and it will be the subject of intense negotiations. president joe biden said the deal moved the country closer to preventing unnecessary shutdowns.

government and protection of important national priorities. leopards, abrams, missiles and an almost iron dome from russian missiles. in 2023, ukraine received a considerable amount of powerful and modern weapons, both offensive and defensive. but it is needed help continues to us, although it comes with long delays and not in time, like the military aid of western partners. under this slogan, former minister of defense oleksiy reznikov accepts a package of military aid from western partners, the first batches of leopard tanks and a variety of the latest weapons. when we talk about the 23rd year, actually there is a whole range of samples that were new, really we... waited a long time and finally

got atakams in cluster use, we got cluster ammunition for artillery, we received storm shadow and scalp long-range missiles, which were also... discussed for a long time by our partners, were still handed over. that powerful offensive equipment did not ensure a breakthrough of the front in the south of the country during the summer counteroffensive. one of the reasons is the delay in providing assistance. protracted bureaucratic processes allowed the russians to consolidate their positions. well, everything is mined, in principle, everything is completely mined. landings, fields, it is difficult to approach them. and the trenches in them were dug in for a long time, a lot they have very deep trenches, trenches, in addition, the equipment provided by western partners was not enough for a counteroffensive, military expert serhiy zgurets is convinced. the number of these samples is not enough

to ensure qualitative changes on the battlefield, 20 attacks cannot change the situation, they can destroy 20 enemy targets, and the targets here are thousands, not dozens. so this applies, in particular, to stormshadow, a certain hundred stormshadows cannot destroy all the objects there, which are extremely important for changing the stability of the enemy's defense. but no united allies, the armed forces received powerful military assistance from the russians. according to analysts, by the end of 2022, ukrainian defenders managed to win the largest amount of military equipment on the battlefield, in particular, thanks to russians from the north of the country and the breakthrough in the kharkiv counteroffensive, where they managed to capture entire warehouses of ammunition and heavy equipment, now this weaponry is destroying the russians. this is a carpet squeezed out of us by a bad russian friend. 12.7 caliber,

cord machine gun, anti-aircraft, meanwhile ukrainian the defenders skillfully mastered the equipment provided by the allies even then... the powerful m-119 and m-777 howitzers this year proved to be effective in counter-battery combat. shot! warriors learned to hit with this weapon from the first shot. they set the goal of getting there to the fifth, sixth floor and got there. there was a sniper. with a 105-caliber round, we take the window, and they repair it and return it to the line in a matter of hours, this fragment arrived, it is already brewed here, it is already done, because the oil was flowing, we stopped working, cleaned it,

brewed it, handsome guys, overnight made and forced upon us, the ukrainian military-industrial complex itself currently provides only 8% of total needs. of the armed forces of ukraine, so according to serhiy zgurets, it was the western aid that ensured the stability of the defense and made it possible to maintain the current demarcation line. what would have happened if there was no foreign aid, the situation would actually be quite critical, because ukraine does not currently have the opportunity to carry out defense and offensive without relying on foreign military potential. but probably the most important success in providing military assistance aviation coalition. states the netherlands, norway, denmark and belgium agreed to transfer effective f-16 fighter jets to ukraine, although they are expected in 2024, so the counteroffensive had to go without planes. we are collecting funds for

a front-line car for the tankers of the offensive guard, who protect the eastern flank of the struggle for our independence. avtovka is on the front line both fighting and rescuing. in conditions of roadlessness and constant conditions. the service life of front cars is short. we need a lot of cars and they are needed quickly, so we encourage you to join this gathering. on there are already more than uah 150,000 in the accounts. let's put victory on wheels together. in general, our goal is uah 250,000. and in kyiv , a water main broke in the svyatoshyn district, flooding the roadway. cars got stuck in the drains. two houses were left without water supply, the city state administration reported. utility workers eliminate flooding, clean up pollution on the road, so that the emergency crew of kyivodokanal can start repairs. road services additionally treated the streets to ensure safe

the infrastructure of the city, because in the city itself everything is in order, but somewhere. areas have electricity connected, and fairly powerful explosions that were heard by local people both in the central part of the city and in the sleeping areas of the city in general, that is, we cannot tell visually yet, we in general, while the friendly alarm continues, and according to the information of the regional military according to the administration and the military , there are still no specifics, then it will be after the alarm is lifted, so as not to help the enemy in general to adjust their actions, the air alert is just now ongoing, we understand that there is... russian air and cruise missiles , nevertheless , zaporizhzhia was one of the first to receive these blows, can we omit that it is about hypersonic dagger missiles, like? very difficult question, according to preliminary information, again according to very preliminary information, it is a combined, combined strike, as by forces s-400s, which were launched from the temporarily

occupied crimea, as well as cruise missiles, which were launched from aviation. ugh. can we hear any explosions in the city itself, or can we say that there is some threat to the civil infrastructure? well , according to the information of the monitoring groups , repeated explosions are possible while the air alarm continues, of course, mr. askade, i will also ask if the air, that is , the air alarm, started before the explosions or after, after the explosions. after the explosions, sorry, before, before, before the explosions, that is, that is, residents were warned this time about the fact that there is already an air alarm , well, of course, thank you very much for being able to join us, i understand that the electricity actually went out in your area, you are in such an area, we do not have electricity, yes, unfortunately, well, we hope that

the utility services will be able to restore the electricity supply as soon as possible, but that's a matter for the next few hours. so far, all of ukraine is in danger, as the air alert continues and the takeoff of russian bombers continues, thank you very much mr. askada, askata shurbekov, deputy of zaporizhia oblast council, was in touch with us from zaporizhzhia, we will continue our roll call by regions, i will remind you that the whole of ukraine is currently suffering from a massive russian air rocket attack, i will remind you of 13 large tu-95 bombers. took off today from olenye airfield, this is the murmansk region, somewhere in the extreme north, the extreme north of the russian federation, and the russians attacked ukraine. now we will also try to contact avdiivka, vitaly barabash,

we will also have valentina shults, a deputy of the odesa district council, on the roll call. also we will find out what is happening now in kharkiv, here we will, and then we will summarize with nataliya humenyuk, the head of the joint coordination press center of the forces of the defense of the south, a colonel, what is happening today on the front of ukraine, well, gentlemen, while we are trying to establish communication with the ace with vitaly barabash, there is already information in principle, you know about... that they hit kharkiv and the region, also using, in particular, s-300 missiles, missiles for air defense, which are processed for strikes on ground purposes, the head has already announced this kharkiv's ova sinih gubov, two s-300 strikes were previously hit, also hits were recorded in the vovchansk community, this is how

it continues, the air alert continues, we are holding. on the way, we monitor the information coming from the regions, and we all stay in hiding, in fact, we are conducting the same way now, even in lviv, but we are conducting from cover, since lviv is also usually within reach in the range of the russians, unfortunately , bloody rockets, we will also be today, i will remind, can we now launch our our assembly, i will ask in our graduation groups, yes, let me remind you that... we can also join our defense right now to help the army, this seems like a good time to me, since the enemy has already raised us so early today, remember that we.. . we are even in this case in relative safety only thanks to the fact that our soldiers now in cold and fierce weather continue to hold the front line, keep

the enemy where he is now, prevent him from entering our cities, and together with you, we, our viewers, we are collecting funds for powerful portable battery stations velstram, solar panels for the 108th dnipropetrovsk separate brigade of the territorial defense forces of the armed forces of ukraine. and actually these are very good stations that allow you to recharge them in the rear, then bring them to the front line and on the front line, they allow you to recharge the batteries for drones in the first place, but also there i don’t know phones and so on for military personnel, all necessary electrical appliances , all this is allowed, a very powerful station, but it is not cheap, our goal is to collect as much as uah 5 million, this a lot, stop, we have already lost it, we collected

1,220 00 for the 93rd kholodnoyariv rite , and we have already collected for welstram, you see, i still live in the past, you can say a year, we have already collected for welstram, we are already collecting , in fact, for kamikaze drones for the 93rd separate mechanized brigade, cold yar 5 million uah for... we need assemble an army of kemikaze drones, well, of course, you know what drones are, where drones work, there they can to be safe for our military personnel, and let these little machines do all the work for them, and they will be safe, well, but for this we need to transfer a little of our money to accounts, you see, by the way, there are also digital accounts, since you like, not only these qr-codes, private banking, monobank, and we can safely transfer... on these numbers, 47 31 21 96 4120, 61 35 - this is a state bank, or you can transfer to

a private bank, monobank, if you want , i order it to be private, well, that's the way it is, you know, in everyone has the power of their own habits, so we are transferring this money, 5 million is not a small amount, but i think that we will definitely collect it quickly, it was a surprise for me that we have already closed the previous collection, thank you very much, you know. it's not for nothing, we spent last week, so to speak. well, we are still trying to contact vitaly barabash. tell me, please, where is our vitaly barabash? not yet, well, you understand that this is avdiyivka, and where is now, if we all woke up early now, then in principle vitaly barabash, the head of the avdiyiv city military administration, he definitely, for sure, has neither days off nor quiet nights. none, in principle, for more than one month , not even, well, not to mention, even about the last two years, we remember that vitaly barabash, one of the few

heads of military administrations, who, it seems, the year before last was even wounded in the performance of his duties during, since the city is constantly under fire, and now avdiyivka is the main target of the russian offensive, there has resumed, just the other day we learned about it that a full-scale ... more offensive of the russian army has resumed, the enemy is trying very hard to capture avdiivka, this is the number one target for the near future for the enemy , so not just near avdiivka, not just anywhere, is holding, the front is holding , it is very important for us that it is holding , we can also say that we have updates of the latest information about the dnipro and zaporizhzhia, which is

actually not so much in us information, we know that the danger continues, too the russian mig-31 remains in the air, which can carry dagger missiles, and this means that the whole of ukraine is still in the red zone, which you can observe in reality and on your aerial maps. of alarm, the whole of ukraine today up to and including transcarpathia was covered in the red color of the danger of airstrikes, so we are in shelters, we must of course take this attack seriously, it is clear that today in ukraine we have, well, i don't know, from -11 and further and below temperature, accordingly for the enemy, it is very a good opportunity to try to check the strength of ukrainian objects. of the energy structure in order to try to disconnect residents from electricity and heating, especially in large cities, we understand this very well

and in fact many cities were preparing for this. so just today we are checking the strength of our air defense, well, you know that the united states of america has confirmed that this year it is air defense missiles that will have, will be the priority direction for the supply of weapons to ukraine, that is, this is the main direction that will be provide, yesterday there was also good news from japan. no, so what, we already have vitaliy barabash on the phone, gentlemen, but i am very happy, mr. vitaliy, good morning to you, glory to ukraine, congratulations, glory to the heroes, ukraine is now in let's put it this way, the whole of ukraine is in the danger zone , but for you, it's probably just an ordinary morning, and you can say that, but i'm very happy that all of ukraine is in, and...

threats, you know, especially when there are such massive missile strikes throughout the territory, of course, it is difficult at the front, but the boys and girls are here to ensure that the entire territory is calmer, or calm in general, but in terms of our situation , in principle, there are no significant changes there, the enemy is pressing, and he pressed, as he tried to implement his main plans, but still... the city at any cost, either at the expense of the surroundings, or at the expense of, let's say, directly entering the city, but well , it is really pressing along the entire line of defense, and of course, their primary task is after all, to cut off our logistics, and therefore, well, let's say, they throw all their efforts at this, both artillery works and aviation, and assault actions, as well, but we see that, well,

the concentration is so great in this direction. from tepovo, this is exactly the case, the closest point to them cutting off our logistics, and therefore, uh, well , they throw maximum effort at these things, they don't succeed in anything, it's really very difficult, especially tonight the temperature dropped in us to - 10 it has snowed like this and it is falling very slowly, of course, what do we expect, let's say that in the near future they will start to use equipment more massively, because when the ground freezes, that 's it right away, well, you can see, they immediately abandon the equipment, in general, well, more than 40 shellings have been fired in the community for almost a week, there are 45, under 50 per day, on average, well, 20 aerial bombardments on the territory of the community.

it happens in positions, of course , it is more striking there, unfortunately, yesterday we have a dead man in his 40s as a result of a blood bomb attack, and a wounded man in his 74th year fell under the hail, well, in principle, such things happen almost every day, under these conditions, we still try to carry out an evacuation, no matter what, there are not many people who want to. but nevertheless they are leaving little by little, as of this morning 1,150 seven people remain in the city, and i will repeat in connection with the fact that almost every day we have injured or dead people, little by little the number of people will decrease, but mostly due to exactly those 200. the russians wrote the other day that they had launched an attack from all sides

on avdiivka. i don't know, it's just a propaganda stamp, whether something has really changed these days, but i haven't heard a bit question, the connection is very bad, i say the russians reported that they launched an attack from almost all sides on avdiivka, it's just some propaganda stamps, has anything actually changed in the nature of the attacks? no, from the fourth they began to advance very actively along the entire front line, pressing mostly... it was infantry, because at that time the ground was still so wet, it was very, well, it rained for a couple of days almost, and that's why indeed , they stormed it so actively on the fourth, fifth, sixth, but none there are no breakthroughs, they may have been cut a little by the gray zone of some simple things.
