but with some people, again, as far as i understand, perhaps, the houses may not be subject to restoration, and what in this case? well, here i can say, here of course , when a person usually receives compensation, then he can tell me, well, with these funds, he can use them either for restoration, or to make some other appropriate decisions, so in principle here, depending on the damage to the property and is made accordingly by a person's decision and local self-government bodies that help. in that c in this case, but we can, of course , understand that, well, let's say this, people try to make such intermediate repairs, because of course there can be such cases that, of course, when a person has repaired, and then flew again, so of course, as a rule, why is it not covered with windows, plywood, boards and all other windows that have blown out, because no one risks putting a plastic window or a normal window, because... flights and these moments

can happen again, and the last question for you on today, mr. dmytro, what about water supply, after the destruction of the kakhovskaya dam, construction began on the laying of a water pipeline from the dnipro to your two cities, marganets and nikopol, what is the current situation with this? the state is continuing the implementation of the water pipeline project, which should restore the centralized supply. of drinking water to the residents of the nikopol region, today each community has its own history, somewhere the centralized drinking water supply has been fully restored, in some areas, drinking water is only of a technical nature in the tap, in some areas water only there is a sub-contract, because there are no technical possibilities to supply technical water today, so we are all waiting for the implementation of the state project. and for now

, everyone is helping to get out as much as possible, depending on the situation, we are very grateful to all the funds that help with containers, help with delivery water, water carriers that work in the territory of the nikopol region and help to alleviate the situation that has developed with a disadvantage for the residents of the nikopol district. mr. dmitry, i thank you very much for participating in the program, thank you for telling me the last thing, what is happening in your region, it was dmytro bychko, acting chairman. of the nikopol district council, and in particular, again to emphasize, told about how and what is happening in the nikopol region after today's shelling, in particular marganets. well, from that, let's move on to our next guest and talk a little bit about politics, how the world, in particular the united states of america, continues to help us resist russian aggression, and in connection with me... igor

eisenberg, a professor at new york university. mr. igor, i congratulate you, glory ukraine. glory to the hero, mr. yulia, i congratulate you and all the viewers. thank you for joining, i have a lot to talk about with you. i hope that in the time allotted to us, we will have time to talk about it all. look, on sunday night, well , actually, even everyone read about it on monday morning, about the information that appeared in the american congress. americans and democrats agreed on funding, on the restoration of government funding, and in this way they avoided a shutdown, that is, they saw, they know how to negotiate, but the financing of ukraine, these 61 billion dollars , of course, in no way depends on the agreement that took place on sunday, although, on the other hand, i want to ask you, maybe it depends on this, maybe we can see in this agreement between the democrats and republicans on sunday, is this some kind of good sign and for the fact that financial

assistance to ukraine will also be unblocked? i think it depends , i think, yes, i agree with you that it's a good sign because it means that after all they, they can negotiate, although i have to say that when on sunday speaker johnson and the leader the democratic majority in the senate, schumer, they announced that they had reached this agreement on the budget, even on the budget for the entire fiscal year, not the interim budget, there immediately several ultra... right-wing republicans in the house of representatives said that this was unacceptable to them and that they never support, because it's going to be difficult there anyway, and it's going to be difficult for speaker johnson , because he has to balance between his far-right part of his caucus, which votes against everything, against everything and accepts nothing, and the rest of his caucus, and those what he can't do about... the budget, actually he

can't pass anything through the house if it doesn't have bipartisan support, because the republican majority in the house of representatives, it's symbolic, in fact, it's three... seats, and from february there will be two , because one of the republicans, he is leaving the congress, and with regard to agreements on aid to ukraine, on this second bill, one of the senators who is conducting these negotiations, there is a group of six senators, three republicans and three democrats, senator langworth from oklahoma, he also said just yesterday that -- that there is progress if they release the immigration compromise that they came up with so that, let's say, the house can make some proposals so that people can see what they have reached, that is, this is

a positive sign, and that they are agreeing on the general budget, and that there is progress towards them on the preconditions regarding. blocking the draft law on aid to ukraine, israel and taiwan. mr. igor, look, and now, to close this issue, the republicans particularly in those pro-trump minority in the republican caucus in the house of representatives, in particular, besides the questions about the southern border to the joe biden administration, are there any other questions? so. you know, i wouldn't call this a southern border issue, because joe biden already in the proposal for these additional appropriations gives aid to ukraine, israel and taiwan, he requested another 14 billion to strengthen security on the border, but they do not approve of all this together ,

including border security, because right-wing republicans are demanding that be changed immigration law as a condition for this law to be approved. a project that includes aid to ukraine, but these far-right groups, of course, they have a requirement to cut spending very much, to cut government spending as much as possible, to cut spending on or at all to destroy certain social programs and so on, but they cannot achieve this , because simply that... will never be approved by the senate, any budget must be approved in the same version, the same one the wording itself by both houses, the senate will never approve such a thing, so here only a compromise is possible, neither side can achieve everything they want here. look,

yesterday, well, actually yesterday morning, we found out about it, speaker mike johnson said it sunday night to monday kyiv time, he said that... a cbs interview about what he's up to now administration, both he and his colleagues in joe biden's administration have a major issue regarding support for ukraine, we need to be open and talk about where taxpayers' money goes, what it is spent on, and how it will be controlled. it's my understanding that the joe biden administration has repeatedly said that they're willing to cooperate on this issue, and then mike johnson is asking similar questions, how long is this... drag on, well, look, it's, it's, i think it's he said so to the general public to save face, in fact, the administration has already said that it reports to congress, reports every dollar spent on aid to ukraine, very detailed reports, and most of them

are even available online, for everyone, that is , they can be found there on the relevant websites of the administration and the congress, that is, this... all these are all beautiful words there, in fact , a group of auditors already works permanently in kyiv there are inspectors general in the embassy of the united states, there is a special group in all the relevant departments that monitors whether all the weapons that are supplied to ukraine end up in the army or, god forbid , that some weapons do not end up in the wrong place where needed and there was no such case , that is, i would say that these are still conversations in order to explain why they do not approve of it, to explain to those people who are not interested in such details, in fact, these are all reports there are, they are, even

i say that the ones that are not secret, they can be found online, any person can find and just read, and such a delay on the part of the republicans can be a kind of such ... pressure to the joe biden administration with this demand: stop cling to trump. it's, i would say it's, well, it's kind of, you know, ... domestic politics because we're going to have an election in november, so we're already on the campaign trail, and i think the republicans have this goal of showing joe biden and his administration, well, they are not him, they can't do that, they can't do that, that's where they have a failure, that's where they have a failure, but to show them in such a light, to earn pluses for the elections, i think that oh... first of all, these are such internal, intrapolitical, well , to put it mildly, things that are not

unpleasant, because in my opinion such things as aid to ukraine and aid to israel, aid to taiwan, aid to democracies that are fighting completely black forces, that are fighting dictatorships that want to destroy these democracies, this should be number one... one for both american parties and in general it should be out of the question, when it becomes a kind of hostage, this issue becomes a hostage of some domestic political things, it's just not unpleasant, i would say, very very cynical and unpleasant, for me as an american citizen it's just this is so mr. igor, we have very little time, he started talking about trump for literally one and a half minutes , please tell me, what are his prospects, given the fact that today... he has, perhaps, is already in court, he was in court, was the session was just this morning in the court

, it ended about 45 minutes ago, i had the opportunity to listen to him a little, he did not speak there, he just sat there, well, it was an audio broadcast from the court, and the court, the appellate court was considering, that is, his appeal regarding his immunity , that he, as the president, can do whatever he wants, and he gets nothing for it it can't be, well, here are his lawyers, they ... proved this theory that he, as the president, fulfills his duties, no matter what he does, so he has immunity, he, this immunity, therefore, is revoked only if he was convicted of as a result of the impeachment process, well, and accordingly, deputy special prosecutor smith was there, he broke down these arguments, he said that, well, if, if the president has immunity, then he can then order, say, the assassination of his. .. a political opponent there to sell secrets to a foreign state, take bribes, and him for that

then nothing will happen if you accept the position of trump's lawyers, when there will be a decision is still unknown, in one word it can be summed up like this, there will be more, there will be more, yes, thank you very much, mr. igor, for participating in today's broadcast, talked about what is happening in the united states of america and... in particular, regarding washington's help and support to ukraine in our just fight against russian aggression. well, now from the political component, let's move on to the military one, let's talk about what's happening on the fields, and a lot of things another serhii zgurets, director of the defense express agency. serhii, congratulations, you have a word. i congratulate you, i congratulate our viewers. today, in our column, we will talk about germany's readiness from to launch new defense enterprises in ukraine, about the state of affairs on the front line and about mobilization, and whether

the enemy is really already using those new jet fighters, about all this in a moment. i'll start with the good news, unlike the us, where the pause in unblocking military aid for ukraine is still ongoing. germany demonstrates activity both in the supply of armed military equipment and in the expansion of projects on the territory of our state. the german defense company ffg, flensburgers farzerbau , is building a repair center in western ukraine to restore a number of german weapons and equipment already in use by the armed forces of ukraine. perhaps it should have been kept secret, but a member of the german defense committee, markus

faber, has already announced this. according to him, he mentioned only one type of weaponry, these are leopard 1a5 tanks, this is a slightly newer version than what we see on our screen now, leopard 1 a5 tanks are already used by our military, and it is worth mentioning in particular. that this german company ffg perebu has somewhere in its arsenal about 99 leopard tanks, they are already partially transferred to our armed forces. of ukraine , but we understand that all these weapons are badly needed on the front line, various models, we hope that the repair enterprises of foreign countries will also be deployed on our land in order to have more opportunities for destroy our enemy. and then we will talk about what is happening on the front line, and

first of all i will again mention bahmud, around which the enemy is now trying to... turn the situation to their advantage, after our armed forces, in particular , liberated such settlements as klishchiivka and andriivka, now the enemy is attacking these areas of the front there, the enemy is also trying to attack north of bakhmut, towards bohdanivka, ivanovsky, and after all these, well, a certain short pause, now there has been an increase in activity there russian and aviation and artillery, but what is happening right now on... this part of the front, we will talk to our guest, we have yuriy syrotyuk, a junior sergeant, a gunner of the fifth separate kyiv assault brigade of the armed forces, on the phone to ukraine, mr. yury, i am glad to see and hear, i have not seen you for 100 years, i congratulate the company, glory to ukraine, christ was born, we praise him, i would like

to talk with you first of all about certain things, about certain worldview things, but let's go anyway let's start with what is happening. on your site responsibility, because you know better than anyone, anyone else, your fifth, separate kyiv assault brigade, now, as i understand it, with other brigades, is responsible there for the protection of both klzychkiv and ivanovsky, there were reports that there was a certain pause there a couple of days ago, now the enemy has re-intensified hostilities, what is happening right now, in our direction it is difficult... to remember when there was a pause, until may of last year the enemy was advancing, in may of last year we intercepted the initiative, began to advance, repulsed the enemy from ivanovsky, repulsed klishchiivka, together with the 80th airmobile brigade, we, on the right flank, the third assault brigade retook andriivka, that is, we

tried to develop success and bypass bakhmut from the south, we tried to... get to the point of peace, here we succeeded, it is as if such a global war for landings, five landings were completed, on the sixth landing, if the battle began, which is still there , that is, the enemy is trying to move in our direction, the enemy succeeded in part, when he accumulated considerable strength of his manpower, to partially dislodge the defense forces from gardens bakhmut, the enemy tried to continue the success. to advance towards ivanovsky, failed, tries to advance in the vicinity of klichchiivka on capturing, capturing the heights of klichchiivka there, not even landings, but the remains of landings, but we also had a problem with the fact that it can be recaptured, it is impossible to gain a foothold there, and the enemy has the the problem itself, i believe that we have now made a rational decision to maintain

a reasonable defense, that is, it is better for the enemy to run across open terrain at a time when the front is saturated with drones, kamikaze drones, reconnaissance drones, skids, because the situation has changed significantly, when a significant, significant part of the functions of the assault infantry are now played by fpv drones, and drones with skids, this allows a significant part of the reconnaissance activities of our reconnaissance drones to be performed by drones, reconnaissance drones, both night and day . is happening live, so it seems to me that now it is more rational and wiser to keep an active defense, especially since we have the dominant heights behind us, er, and the time of the ivars is on the ridge on donetsk, on the heights, and behind ivanovsky is behind behind the commanding heights, and in the vicinity of the pincers , for now we hold the commanding heights, unfortunately, in connection with the pause in the supply of weapons by our

western allies, such a political pause in the united states and and... in the european union, the enemy thought that he would use in psychologically, in the psychological factor, this moment, because unfortunately, sometimes there are in connection with a long, long logistical knee, sometimes there are delays in the supply of ammunition, especially of foreign production, unfortunately, it has become less, gentler than we would like , than was even in the summer, and therefore, it seems to me that now it is rational to keep the defense, moreover, i will note that the unit is now saturated... with units of unmanned aviation complexes, the guys have already learned how to use both night drones and daytime drones, as we are very bothered by enemy drones and drops. that is why most of the day you have to be in shelters, because if earlier in the day you had to be in shelters and at night you could dig trenches there, raise a beck, now the enemy

carried the line with night skirmishes, with typical vision devices, the enemy is actively reacting on any typical traces, to which i lead, that now if the enemy continued to offer this merciless manpower exchange tactic, they would not spare their infantry at all, abandon them. to these thoughtless local assaults, in our case, it seems to me that it is reasonable to do what we are doing, to occupy, to occupy a strategic defense and competently knock out the enemy, especially since all positions, all places have been shot, we know well, all routes about the enemy's advance, we see them, the positions are shot, if only the bc would be enough, so on our in our area, we know that the enemy has concentrated very large offensive forces, but exactly... where he is trying to attack us along the road, from bakhmut to ivanovske, from bakhmut across the fields to ivanovske, in the direction of klishchiivka, well, serious success, enemy, enemy

no, all the more so i say, as it seems to me that as long as we have well-placed fire equipment, as long as they are well protected, this tactic will give us more advantages, because it seems that putin is now burning his infantry for some political purposes and very soon it will turn out that he... will also be short of life forces, because they are not eternal, but it is obvious that putin will not conduct a large mobilization before the presidential elections in russia, so i hope that with these mindless meat assaults the enemy will simply exhaust himself and will not achieve any, not only strategic, but also tactical results, at least once again, everything is calm on our part of the front, of course, psychological tension is felt, because for the 17th month the brigade has been on the front line without escape, without escape, well, but on the other hand, we already... know the terrain so well , approaches, waste, ways of the enemy's advance, which in fact gives him a very high price is not that there is any planting, any bush or

remnants, kicks from those plantings that remained around here. mr. yurii, i would then like to move on to a slightly different topic related to mobilization. today the committee , the parliamentary committee on defense, was supposed to discuss the bill or the bills postponed it until tomorrow, so what i... i'm afraid, i'm afraid that there was such a thing, well, there was no delay in extremely urgent decisions that are directly related to the formation of our reserves and replenishment of our brigades. as a parliamentarian in the past, you have considerable experience in creating various draft laws, and 10 laws were passed based on your initiatives. how do you feel from the front line about this whole story with this bill, or is there? some things that should , let's say, be announced on your part, in order to avoid such excessive, not so much politicization, but some things that, for some reason,

do not create a quick decision-making about an urgent need that everyone understands, well it is obvious that political logic is at work, someone is probably afraid of losing political points, of not receiving political dividends, that is , some stupid political... games have started, but you have to understand that if there is no ukraine, then there will be no politics, no politicians, no parliaments, we , look, the war depends on two factors, not only on what we do, but on what the enemy is doing, whether the enemy is going to stop the war, is not going to, whether the enemy is increasing its mobilization potential, comes, conducts covert mobilization at will, involvement mercenaries, increased service in the contract. conducts, accordingly, we have no choice to do it or not to do it, we have a choice, a choice to fight or to surrender, in case we stop fighting, then the enemy

will definitely, taking advantage of the successes in ukraine, move on, and no army in world will not be able to fight with russia like we do, and that is why the west must understand that now the issue of military supplies to ukraine, the parties all pause... they lead to the acceleration of the death of ukrainian soldiers, our mobilization potential is not eternal, we cannot lead with in the russia of a linear war, we cannot mobilize the same number of people, we cannot send the same number of people to the border, that is, we have to learn to fight asymmetrically, preferably, preferably in a more high-tech way, preferably having finally obtained the same weapons, at least the ones used by the enemy, because the enemy has been carrying out massive missile attacks on ukraine without orders for two years, our... allies are thinking whether to give us medium -range missiles or not, but in ukraine it is very simple here: either the men will join protection of the ukrainian army, or later

the russian one... without asking, he will forcefully mobilize them and drive them to slaughter. here , of course, the state did not complete the work in a certain way, because on the one hand, having created, i consider a good state propaganda system, through the so-called single news, when they convinced the ukrainian society that we are able to withstand and even win and very quickly bathe in crimea, the state did not use that mobilization potential, when convinced that everything is fine with us militarily, and that's for sure . because it's better to be, better, better to fight optimistic, than being in a gloomy mood, but on the other hand, it was necessary to more actively apply the measures to encourage people to join the army, contract service, we had only one successful case, it seems to me the offensive guard, when many of my acquaintances even called and said that they were giving offensive guard, because they will be taught, they will be equipped with modern weapons and so on and so on, then the state failed, but once again based on the situation that we...

did not choose this war and putin will not stop so that we do not did, and what putin is doing mobilization measures, we must carry out mobilization measures, if only in order to prepare that part of ukrainians who, for one reason or another, did not participate in the first phase of the war, for their own defense, believe me, to be mobilized now, all the more so because i want to trust the ukrainian to the military and political leadership that now we will not fight with meat assaults, we will not advance our infantry to the slaughter, that we will... protect the soldiers, especially there they promise a wide training course, the boys will arrive mobilized in combat brigades, where there is combat experience, where we are very careful with recruits, we teach them, we do not abandon them, that is, there is no need to be afraid, but there should be awareness, there are certain civic duties, and now ukraine needs additional involvement of men , life force to force.

of ukraine for various reasons, if a part of the society shouts, let the boys rest, rest, that is, we who are in the middle of nowhere, then in order for us to rest, we need someone to replace us, for which, for this, people are needed, someone is sick , someone knocks out by age, reaches the critical age of 60 years, someone is wounded, there are cases of fatalities, but i want to say that, for example, my unit, which is in bakhmuti , performed an extremely important task and no, well, it is always the first line, always, for all this time, one person died, maybe because if we had built the system that way, that we ourselves learned, that we ourselves took care of our own safety, maybe because of this it is connected, but this war is an example of what should not be changed to be afraid that everyone will die, everyone will die , everyone there will be crippled, right now, just at the front , russia is exerting its forces to the maximum,

it seems to me that... they are exhaling, they think that we have everything hanging on a needle, because they think , that the ukrainians are afraid that the west will stop helping and , while russia is actively fighting despite its own losses, but i will repeat once again, very soon we will see that russia will also be exhausted, and when we have a window of opportunity to counterattack, in the event , if we have the necessary quantity and the necessary types weapons, then even a fresh force that can do it will be needed, so... you stop playing political games, you are right, there is nothing to delay here, it is a given, it must be done, it must be done calmly, or simply must, well, i have the impression that they are starting to scare people, men, that is , they are being scared, i do not know that they will die there immediately, that they will be thrown into battle right away, in fact, now it is no longer the case that men are being thrown from wheels, it is us shot four tails, lay under a tank on goncharivska, under

goncharivskyi and left. on pickup trucks to the war, learning our american grenade launcher on the way, now if everything was completely different, now the professionalism of the ukrainian army has increased and every recruit receives a good tower, everyone is taught to survive, especially as i once again noted that now a significant part of the functions of the assault infantry are taken kamikaze drones are taking over, automated robotic systems have appeared at the front, i.e. machine gunners, some machine gunners no longer work from a trench, but work from shelters through remote controls automated systems of introducing fire , that is, now if the situation is psychologically difficult, because it is winter, the third year of the war, it is not clear how everything will end, someone was preparing to run a 100-meter race, but it turned out that they had to run 100 km, a super marathon, but in fact...
