and in the evening? congratulations, it was a night in zaporizhzhia and the day before was calm, quiet, and today at around 7:00 a.m. the russian military attacked the previous ones. five missile strikes, it was a combined attack , both ballistic missiles and other types, currently the types are being established, it is known that as a result of the strike, one of the private sectors of zaporizhzhia was partially damaged, it is currently known about rutting, broken glass, damaged infrastructure, such as the roads, and it is known about the injured two people, a man and a woman, some of the hits also took place in open areas. not far from the zaporizhzhia residential complex, at the moment , in the city of tycho, it is also known that there are problems with water and electricity supply in some areas of the city, however, at the moment, the official authorities do not comment on what these

problems are related to, because in zaporizhzhia is currently experiencing worsening weather conditions, and it is quite possible that this is actually not so much the result of the attack as the deterioration of the weather in the city, and so far... at this moment they are not commenting, well, the liquidation of the consequences of the missile strike is currently underway in the city itself. evgenia , thank you for joining, i will also remind our viewers that you can write from which city you are, yevgenia nazarova, a correspondent of radio liberty, who just joined from zaporizhzhia, told about the situation as a result of the morning russian shelling there. next, we will talk about the situation in the dnipro. valeriya kholodova, correspondent of rada tv channel. joins our broadcast, valery, i congratulate you, tell us what the situation is as of now, about what can you say, at least as a result of the morning shelling of the city, the consequences of which are already known. greetings colleague, we are now waiting for official information, but i want and can

say that this morning was very restless and noisy both for the dnipro and for the dnipropetrovsk region, in the dnipro, in the suburbs of the dnipro, in kryvyi rih there was a series of explosions, also operative . telegram channels reported the danger to the city of pavlograd. it is already known from the local public that a shopping complex in kryvyi rih was damaged. it's direct hit or as a result of falling debris , we do not have such information at the moment, we are waiting for it from the military administration, it is also known that there are currently problems with the electricity supply in the city of kryvyi rih , and electric transport is not running, however, this may be due to the bad weather that has covered our region at the moment, and even yesterday they warned about possible problems with public transport, well, that's all the information for now, once again... we read the official messages of our military administration, learn something new and

we will definitely share the information with you. valeria, thanks for joining. valeria kholodova, a correspondent for the tv channel rada in dnipro, told about the situation in the city there, now all over ukraine we are waiting for official, official information from official sources about the consequences of this morning shelling, i also see that in the comments under our broadcast , people are writing about , well, words of support actually for each other. from different cities, because today's morning attack and air alert, i will remind, it spread throughout ukraine. later on our broadcast, we will of course, we will follow operational information , and we will follow the consequences of the morning shelling, according to official statements, then i propose to talk about the general military situation, here is information that the supply of air defense missiles is standardized, and the processes of... further supplying ukraine with missiles to repel russian air attacks continues, and

there is no need to worry about ukrainian air defense, this is exactly how the air force reacted to the new york times publication. i will remind you that journalists the american publication noted that representatives of the white house and the pentagon warned kyiv that they would soon allegedly not be able to supply missiles to the american patriot systems. the cost of these missiles ranges from two to four million dollars per unit, and they are capable of shooting down russian ballistic and ... aeroballistic missiles, including daggers. the new york times publication did not give a reason why the us will not be able to deliver the missile to the patriot. at the same time , this publication noted that these systems are the only ones capable of shooting down ballistic missiles. in addition to patriots, others were also sent to ukraine foreign air defense systems. let me remind you, these are stringers, cheetahs, sempties and nasams. but the military-analytic publication defense express cast doubt on this publication in the new york times. and... politicians believe that there is currently no reason to believe that the world is running out of missiles for the patriot missile systems.

experts note that in addition to current production, there are certain stocks of these missiles designed to support existing patriot systems. in addition, defense express was reminded that the recent transfer to ukraine of another petryot battery from germany took place, and that there are plans to transfer five more such batteries to petryad by the end of 2024. year, in particular about this topic and about the general military and the situation at the front, we will talk further oleksiy melnyk, co-director of foreign policy and international security programs, coordinator of international projects, joined our broadcast, i congratulate you, mr. oleksiy, i congratulate you, let's start with these morning shelling, the day before, many wrote in fact and in various telegram channels that there would be an attack and there would be an attack specifically on the energy system. the topic of ukraine, about what it is possible to speak now from the information that is

already available based on the results of this attack, and whether attacks on the power system are really possible and whether blackouts are possible in ukraine, which were, we remember in the fall of 22 there, whether it is necessary at all for the russians forces and for what, are such blackouts, they can somehow give an advantage to the forces of the russian federation there at the front, it is obvious that... several goals are being pursued, both military and political goals, very well, figuratively speaking, news about that ukrainians they sit without light, without heat, and especially now, when there are internal problems in russia from time to time, it is necessary to interrupt with something, this... these informational excuses, that's why this is one, one of the ways, already such

a tried and tested way of reporting, how bad the ukrainians have done, in addition, usually military targets are pursued, and in view of what was reported in official sources, ukrainian official sources, these were mainly the last two attacks, this is this... were mainly or to a large extent a defense-industrial enterprise of the defense-industrial complex, and here it is clearly traced. the connection between the fact that ukraine intends and has a critical need to develop its own defense production and the choice of targets for russian attacks. well, of course, infrastructure facilities , because the seasonal factor is working right now, that is, a sharp drop in temperature causes

maximum damage if... russian missiles reach the target, that is, if there are problems in the energy sector, problems in heating, then exactly the lower the temperature, the these problems are more serious. if we talk about the number and margin of safety, so to speak , of russia's missile potential, the vhur recently stated that if at the beginning of the full-scale invasion of ukraine, the russian federation had approximately 2-300 strategic missiles in service there, at the moment the country seems... .has around 900 of these missiles, if we talk about russia's missile potential, which, could this really be a stockpile, and what this stockpile can give russia in these attacks, such massive attacks as we saw at the end of the last year, and at the beginning of this year, and actually what stockpile of daggers russia has, these are all estimated

data, and it is necessary to keep in mind that these are estimated data, both in relation to the presence of these... missiles, and in relation to russia's ability to produce new ones, to purchase, and there is also a certain limitation here, that is how far russia, the russian military leadership can exhaust its intact stockpiles, because these missiles that are used to strike ukraine, they are also on the balance, the strategic balance for.. nuclear warheads, so these are all estimated data, and to base or depart from the fact that russia will one day run out of these missiles, well, that would probably be very, very naive, well, i would not like to repeat any indicators that are generally known there about the fact that russia can produce about 40 ballistic missiles a

month, about half a dozen daggers. because , again, these data are approximate and they are unlikely to help us as citizens of ukraine to somehow develop some new approaches to our own security, what needs to be understood is that this threat is real, it is for a long time, therefore a complex countermeasure is not only anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense, but also diplomatic, political, military tools in order to... the threat, or the source of this threat, if not to destroy it completely, then at least to weaken it to the limit to an acceptable limit. mr. oleksiy, if we talk about the potential from that point of view, and the involvement of russian partners, before that , after the shelling of kharkiv on january 2, there was a version that the city was shelled by missiles from north korea. is it possible, or do you know which one

quality, what are the volumes of weapons production in north korea, and how this cooperation can strengthen the army. and how important is this cooperation for russian forces? it's even more of a mystery because everything about north korea is estimates that are based on such, well , almost coffee grounds, because even data on north korea's nuclear capability or nuclear program, that is, it's always such a broad spectrum. of these mistakes, which is simply impossible, korean society is so closed, what is known now, well, at least some encouraging information, this is, let's say, the quality of the weapons that can be transferred to north korea, er, that is, these, it

was discussed in the russian public there that the projectiles that are transferred to them, well, they, if not not... the security of the fact that he breaks in the barrel of a russian cannon, then the accuracy of these projectiles is practically unpredictable, that is, the quality of the projectiles is very low. another aspect is that, as we know, tensions on the korean peninsula have increased now, so that will be another limiting factor for korea not to escalate there. deliveries of these... weapons, well, let's wait for january 10, when the un security council will meet, just in time, let's hope that the international community will offer something. because it is a violation of sanctions and one of the violators will be present at the table. mr. oleksiy, is there any reason to believe that the world is running

out of missiles for the patriot missile systems, or do you think such a threat and this information, which the journalists of the new york times published the day before, seem likely? of course, there is no infinite supply, just like when we are there we are talking about stocks, russian stocks. 300, indeed there are a lot of them, but still they are not infinite, the same applies to patriot, you have now quoted, or before that you quoted the conclusions of my colleagues from defense express, i completely agree with them, because, well, there is no need to react too emotionally to similar statements even by respectable media, even if politicians say it, they are trying to send some kind of signal. oh, but this does not mean that the warehouses are exhausted, that is, now, well, unfortunately, we are competing, forced to compete

with israel in this, precisely this nomenclature of ammunition, but there are stocks of patriots in warehouses of other countries, that is , the main thing that must be understood, well, first of all , the ukrainian authorities, our partners, that such a situation cannot be allowed. because we perfectly understand what , how tragic the consequences can be, and besides, patriot, as you know, is not the only system, one of the few, but not the only system that is able to protect the sky quite effectively, mr. oleksiy, we we have entered this new year, and what can your predictions be? as of now, what we have is information from the institute for the study of war, for example, that russian troops are preparing to attack kupyansk in the near future. from norway, ukraine may go on the offensive

in the spring, in your opinion, what could the coming weeks and months be like, will the ukrainian troops be on the defensive, or should we really expect an offensive in the spring? it is most likely that ukrainian forces will still be on active defense in the coming months. and in confirmation of this there is at least a whole series of such, let's say, factors, because starting from those restrictions that were imposed in connection with the delay in financing the supply from the main supplier, the main partner of the united states, and ending with perhaps the most serious problem for today. day is the mobilization of replenishment of losses among our military defense forces and the creation of reserves, so these other factors

indicate that ukraine currently does not have the strength to conduct a successful offensive operation in the near future. at the same time, all those horror films that depict russians are there even very respectable publications, they are... it is also contradicted by our intelligence data, because, yes, the russians really have such intentions, but there are objective factors, that is, it is the amount of forces that concentrate the russians in one direction or another, this certain maneuvers that they conduct, and finally the fact that for almost more than a year russia has not been able to conduct any operation of a scale larger than than the local one, so this, let’s put it this way, this should also be taken into account, you have actually already announced it, then we will talk on the air about mobilization and changes to the rules

mobilization, mr. oleksii, thank you for joining our broadcast, oleksii melnyk , co-director of foreign policy and international security programs, coordinator of international projects, and we talked about the situation at the front, including, meanwhile, the verkhovna rada committee on national security, defense and intelligence, today or tomorrow for... consideration of the draft law on changes to mobilization, people's deputy of ukraine from the voice party, secretary of the committee, roman kostenko, told about this on the air of the telethon. oleksandr zavitnevich, the head of the nrdp committee , wrote on his facebook that the discussion of the document is taking place together with representatives of the armed forces of ukraine and, in particular , with the participation of commander-in-chief valery zaluzhny and defense minister rustem umyerov. according to zavitnevich, now the main task is to find a balance between constitutional rights and necessary measures to solve problems. which these rights limit. zavitnevich also wrote that the committee's final decision on the bill should be on tuesday, that is, january 9. also in the verkhovna rada registered a draft resolution

on dismissal of the deputy head of the nardepka committee from servants of the people, who recently publicly actively criticized the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhny, maryana bezuga. like, it happens as a result of circumstances that make it impossible for her to fulfill her duties. the committee on national security itself recommended recalling bezugla by its decision. nardepka maryana bezugla reacted on facebook to such decisions of her colleagues from the committee and stated that everything was done, quote: as insidiously as possible. the chairman of the committee put it to a vote when i warned him that i would be late for the meeting in my absence, and my colleagues voted: i will never give up and no amount of blackmail will force me to retreat from the principles of work, struggle and truth. then, according to the recall procedure, the vacancy of the position must be considered by the parliament at its meeting. so, what will this week be like for the parliament, what decisions can be made? let's talk further. vadym ivchenko, a people's deputy from

the batkivshchyna party and a member of the komi. of the verkhovna rada of ukraine on national security, of defense and intelligence joined our broadcast. i congratulate you. good morning everyone. mr. vadim, let's start our conversation with the bill on mobilization. in your opinion, will the final decision of the committee be made tomorrow, and what are the main points from this document that you can already voice, what are the most likely changes to the mobilization process that await ukraine? good morning once again, let me say my opinion, first of all, the draft law is quite complicated, the draft law does not contain the motivation that ukrainian society is waiting for. we must clearly understand that each text of the relevant article is supported financially, that is, soldiers, or those people who will be mobilized, or those who are under contract should understand whether there is financial support,

or whether they will be clothed. will there be bc kits, and if injured, should there be funds for rehabilitation, for medicine, what with burial, what with families, what social package is offered by the government, the government, directly, and families and so on, i mean mortgages, insurance medical and so on, all this must be reported by the people's deputy of ukraine, which will continue to communicate with society, unfortunately, except for the law, which we... work through in detail in the committee, work for almost 12 hours and work through it in the national security committee, meet with all stakeholders, that is, with the initiators, the ministry of defense, the general staff, the ministry of finance, the ministry of social affairs, the ministry of vet, and the ministry of economy, regarding reservations and so on, we are working in detail, unfortunately, the ministry of finance has not yet provided us with any figures on how it will

ensure the implementation of the relevant bill, so we, as deputies committee we are waiting for the ministry of finance, maybe it will be tomorrow, and some figures are clear so that it is possible to implement the relevant bill, so for now we are working in working groups in order to work together with the government together with the government on a new text, well, in fact, a new text of the bill. the chairman of your committee wrote about the need to find a balance between constitutional rights and the necessary measures for mobilization, which constitutional rights are being violated? well , you saw what we have for those who won't carry out, and let's say, well, who will not come to the tsk on summons, who will not come to the vlk on summons, will not comply with any mobilization orders

of the heads of the administration. and so on, who will not register for military service, the law provides for certain punishments, ah, well , for example, for those who are abroad, this, the government proposed that, well, there will be changes in the provisions on the provision of consular services, and those who will not register for military service in ukraine, there are certain other measures envisaged by the government, and these measures also border on anti-constitutional... norms, that is, in fact, a person will be deprived of certain things if he does not register for the military, for example, take a loan, sell property, take a loan there, and so on, notary services, so this is the government's proposal, and we are looking at how much it was, by the way, the head of the person's affairs, ah, who commented on certain things.
