lithuania for the new defense support of 200 million euros. according to zelenskyi, this year will be decisive for ukraine and its partners. so he expects a series of important decisions for a just peace. yes, we are all unlucky to have such a neighbor, inadequate for us and lithuania, who brings misfortune and... enslavement, but we will never again become hostages of geography and will not allow russia to destroy either our or your statehood, because together we unite others in order to have a sufficiently common force. the agreements signed today between the ukrainian and lithuanian defense industries are another example of our close military cooperation. we also...

must ensure continuity of long-term support from allies and partners to help ukraine, the european defense industry as a whole must step up its game, accelerate and adequately respond to a complex security situation. they sit at home. the government of finland will keep the checkpoints on the border with russia closed, although the previous restrictions were supposed to end on january 15, it is written. finnish press citing unnamed government sources. they note that, given the current situation, it is difficult to expect that the checkpoint will be opened again. let me remind you that the day before, the finnish border service reported four people who illegally entered the country from russia. now they are suspected of illegally crossing the state border. corrected fire at the places of deployment of the armed forces and civilian objects. a local resident will be tried in kherson.

for treason, the prosecutor's office of the region informs. zaprodanka transmitted data on the movement of our defenders to the russian fsb, directed enemy fire at the transport infrastructure of the regional center and medical facilities. the accused is awaiting the verdict of the court in custody, she faces 15 years behind bars. they run away in all possible ways. this time in the carpathians, the border guards detained the evader who tried. get to romania, armed himself for this with ordinary sneakers, despite the 20-degree frost. he was detained by border guards, who also caught a group of six men who were trying to reach moldova illegally. relevant documents were issued for all fugitives. returns to duties. the kyiv district administrative court partially satisfied the lawsuit of the ex-head of the commercial court of cassation, bohdan.

lviv, he will be reinstated as a judge and his salary will be paid for the period of forced absenteeism. let me remind you, they found him in 2022 russian citizenship, i received this information over 20 years ago, and updated it in 2012. he himself still denies russian citizenship. what you published, you published, based on the sources that were available to you, and i am still convinced, and i personally, there is no need to convince myself. i know that i am exclusively. i am a citizen of ukraine, and the only passport i have is the passport of a citizen of ukraine, i have no other passport. he justified russian aggression. the ex-novice of the kyiv pechersk lavra received from the service security of ukraine suspicion. a cleric of a moscow church publicly spread fakes about ukrainian

defenders on the eastern front and called the full-scale aggression an escalation of the conflict between russia and ukraine. during the searches , law enforcement officers found a phone with evidence in his possession. criminal activity, the minister of the church faces up to eight years behind bars with confiscation of property. for several hours in the cold, in lviv, a six-year-old boy left school and disappeared, he was searched for in the nearby village of sokilnyky. the child walked more than 7 km, reports the patrol police of lviv. law enforcement officers say that he visited several institutions, but none of the adults paid attention to the fact that the boy was... alone. later, the young couple took him to a store, gave him tea and called the police. more than 10 people were rescued by a crew of white angels over the past two weeks in korakhiv and marin communities in donetsk region. law enforcement officers provided medical aid

just under the explosion of shells, because the first minutes are important for saving lives, the national police informs. therefore, white angels regularly go around the house and i will specify location of people. one of these cases happened in krasnohorivka. the russians shelled the city with hail and completely destroyed several houses. in one of the apartments , an 83-year-old woman fell through the roof. the victim with serious injuries was immediately brought to the hospital. the law enforcement officers once again called on the residents of the front-line settlements to evacuate to safer regions. russia's use of weapons from north korea violates the resolution of the un security council, said ms. linda thomas greenfield, the us ambassador to the un, to discuss the cooperation of the russian federation with dprk redbess gathered for a meeting. it was convened by partners, members of the un security council in

coordination with ukraine. then we watch live. evacuate. also, five children died in the town of pokrovsk in donetsk. the consequences of the attack of the russians, the citizens of ukraine now, they carry a very heavy burden of what they carry with them from missile attacks, in donetsk, in kharkiv, kherson we count new victims every day, the impact of war on children is extremely terrible, from the beginning. full-scale invasion, approximately 2/3 of ukrainian children were forced to leave their homes, they are now a vulnerable group of the population. more than 5 million children are currently

displaced. mr. chairman, we see that missile attacks on such densely populated areas. they are doing a lot of damage to the cities, we see that already about eight schools and 10 medical institutions have been affected, a total of 700 schools have not opened their doors for education, my colleagues from the coordination office of human affairs, they have made a detailed analysis of the humanitarian situation in ukraine. and they emphasize the current needs, because hundreds of people, thousands of people now live without electricity and water. we now condemn all attacks aimed at damaging

civilian infrastructure. we understand that such attacks must be stopped, because all this is a violation of international humanitarian law. ukrainians from... are now working on rebuilding their lives and in order to protect themselves from the consequences of direct attacks. with the un, as well as with our partners, we are now stepping up our efforts to help find long-term solutions. we know that the number of refugees from ukraine is now already more than 5 million, with this in mind, we have conducted a study and in fact approximately 8% of refugees plan to return to ukraine, but also there are still security concerns. we now see that

there was something positive after all. on january 3, over 200 prisoners of war from ukraine were exchanged. this was one of the largest exchanges since february 2020. both sides to make such exchanges possible. however, we remain deeply concerned about the situation of the prisoners who are still in polonia. of course, we now have to apply ihl to how prisoners of war are treated. we are also trying to ensure accountability and responsibility of those behind crimes against humanity.

when we talk about the territory of ukraine, which is currently under the control of russia, we know what the crimes are, in particular, kidnapping, torture, murder, so we are trying to bring those guilty to justice. everyone now knows how much the russian side is doing to force ukrainians to receive russian citizenship and russian passports, because without such passports they do not have access to basic social services. we are also concerned about the level of well-being of the ukrainian children who were taken to the territory of ukraine, and now we want to ensure their needs, as well as their immediate return to... their homeland. as for the situation at zaporizhzhya as,

it remains tense, because since august 2022 at as, eight times. she has been de-energized and we know that magate is now continuing to monitor the situation on the ac. despite requests from the russian side from the ukrainian side. we, representatives of the mht, did not get access to the necessary reactors of the nuclear power plant. we understand that the magathe experts, they continue to report that it is now very important to maintain the level of nuclear security, despite the thick and wide attacks that are happening without interruption. also, an expert. who were present at khmelnytskyi aes, they had to hide in

the respective shelters several times. i think that we cannot forget, in fact, the seriousness of the situation around zaporizhzhya ac. we know how many times we have already met to discuss the consequences of this war. we have changed many times. promised to express specific concerns, we tried to do everything in order not to increase the risk of further escalation, and here we are actually entering the third year of a full-scale russian invasion, because this is a war not seen on the european continent since the second world war, and still we do not see the light of the end of this war. unfortunately, the consequences are catastrophic, and we do not know where to go it will lead us, this war,

we have to stop it, we will be under this tax, it is extremely necessary, it is for very, very necessary people, here is all our data, there are qr codes, you will also see links during the broadcast, whatever please, definitely, this is a very important direction, and now... let's take a quick look at the events at the front in recent days, and then we'll move on to discussing all of this. map of combat operations zaporizhzhia. from january 3 to 10, a three-month offensive on russia's eastern front failed. our military did not give the occupiers to fulfill none of the tasks assigned to them regarding the breakthrough to kupyansk, lyman and kurakhove, the encirclement of avdiivka or ughledar. an attempt to encircle avdiivka - 3 months of onslaught in place. this week, the enemy managed to break through a hundred meters along the road from pisky to pervomaiske, as

well as about the same amount on the northern outskirts of avdiivka. instead, all attempts pass. our defensive redoubts in stepovo, berdychy, novobakhmutivka, and novokalynov have failed, and the situation on the southern front of the city is similarly deadlocked. now the russians conduct attacks mostly with infantry without use of armored vehicles. this means that in the near future the occupiers will regroup and probably change their tactics to find the key to avdiivka. instead , they now plan to make greater efforts in the kupyan and ugledar directions. if the threat is small in... kharkiv oblast, then the situation near ugledar can become extremely acute. ugledar is waiting for a new influx of russians. the invaders reinforced their southern group, which is concentrated to the south and east of ugledar, with armored vehicles and personnel. they are preparing for another offensive in order to push our troops

as far as possible from the railway connecting donetsk with ugledar and melitopol. now the armed forces of ukraine. stand at a distance of less than 10 km from the railway, which does not allow the enemy to use it while the enemy is preparing, the defense forces conducted a successful counteroffensive near novomykhaivka, where the russians had made a significant advance in the previous weeks, our soldiers actually managed to recapture almost all the previously lost territory. the bakhmut hell unfolds with new force. bohdanivka, khromov, ivanovske and klishchiivka were the hottest during the week. locations at the front. the rashists are trying with all their might to break through our defenses and get behind the military, who control the commanding heights north of klishchiivka. on the other hand, they want to get as close as possible to the temporal chasm and start the siege as soon as possible. during the last days , the occupiers managed to push our defense

a few hundred meters south of khromovoy and also between klishchiivka and ivanivskyi. the task in this zone is the same as in the avdiiv direction - to get at least one result by march. the most they can aim for now is to regain control of the commanding heights near klishchiivka and conduct a review of the results of our summer counteroffensive in this sector. despite the fact that the russians have so far failed in the offensive in the east, this does not mean that they will not continue to try to achieve until putin's march election. success in at least one of the above areas. deoccupation of crimea and bridgestones in kherson oblast. on january 4, the armed forces of ukraine launched a comprehensive attack on the military facilities in crimea. at least 13 high-ranking occupiers were eliminated in the command post in yukharenya balka of sevastopol. at the same time, other rockets successfully destroyed a large warehouse of ammunition near the village of hryshyne.

in the end, a double blow on the airfield in novofedor. negatived several radar stations and another newly built radio station in uyutny. thus, we blinded the enemy in this part of the peninsula for a certain time. in the kherson region, the armed forces of ukraine continue to defend their bridgehead near krynkiv. after the recent destruction of su-24, su-30 and su-34 in this sector the number of cabs used has significantly decreased. yes, there were only two airstrikes in the past week. ukraine is gradually returning the airspace over the left bank kherson region under its control. rocket terrorism. during the last, the third massive shelling in recent times, the rashists launched 24 kh101, 555, 59 cruise missiles and another 27 ballistic missiles. 18 cruise missiles that were aimed at objects in the central and

western regions were shot down by our anti-aircraft defense, except for those that hit objects in... khmelnytskyi, instead, the ballistic missiles were aimed at kryvyi rih dnipro, zaporizhzhia and kharkiv fell on ukrainian cities not currently covered by the patriot system. based on the result of this strike , we can conclude that the russian terrorists have changed the strategy of missile strikes. the main reason is the lack of missiles. yes, they have about 40 kha-101-55-59 missiles left, and they still don't launch the rashist calibers for some reason. therefore the following. the attacks will obviously be combined with the use of 30-40 missiles, most of which will be ballistic and will fly mainly to front-line cities, instead, the pauses between strikes, which... would grow ever larger, so that the enemy could replenish his supplies. we win daily, the death of the enemy. ivan

kyrychevskyi, a military expert from defense express, is in touch with us, and we will start a conversation with him directly from the last of the missile strikes, because this topic is hot enough, you know, and in principle interests all of us, because we are all with it anyhow. we meet, please, congratulations, ivan, good evening, well, you heard the conclusion of our analysts, i think we should add at least these conclusions, because if we look at the statistics of the hits themselves, we really see such an interesting thing, first of all, during december 29, 2, 29, january 2, january 8, there is a break of four. 6 days, and during these, well, attacks against ukraine, which is typical, shaheds were used much less, much more missiles were

used, but for comparison, on december 29, there were 158 different, well, these objects that were launched, from there are 27 shaheds, but as many as 87 missiles of different calibers, there are different ones. on january 2, it was 35 kamikaze drones and as many as 99 missiles, now we see on january 8, there were 59 different means, of which 51 missiles were also different, what does this all tell us, such is the predominant use of missiles, how do we understand this, what is happening, well, let 's start. let's establish that the shaheds due to their specific aerodynamic structure, well, they cannot fly when the wind speed is high, we can recall that in the winter of last winter

, there was also a period when the russians almost did not use the shaheds at all, and this was explained by the same thing, well, because there is a triangular shape of the wing, a large area, and let's put it this way, this does not mean that shahed is somehow so bad or not so or weak, well, for example, i remember that mig-21, such a legendary soviet fighter, well, he also had problems with the fact that when he flew there ... in the conditions of high wind speed, it was slightly blown along the course , this, roughly speaking, is explained by the weather, for some reason it was also logical to expect that the russians would begin to intensify their strikes on our infrastructure with missiles in such a massive format closer to winter precisely and not only because there is the weather, the load of the power system, some other factors, but also because it will be more difficult to use shahedi, the wind, some other weather factors, but no more, plus one more thing that can... play a role, well, rather a secondary one, well, in order to plan an attack, it is necessary to somehow coordinate the schedule, let's call it that, of the approach to the objects of one or another means of air

attack, here it may still be certain for the russians , well, complications, if it were coordinated , so that at the same time the shaheds were at a speed of 200 km/h, and these kha-101s and calibers, which are there with a speed of 800-900 km/h, and these ballistic supersonic or aeroballistic missiles, which are several thousand kilometers away. they can fly for an hour, well, this is necessary for the impact to be massive and large-scale, it is necessary for it to fly at the same time, obviously there are some weather factors that determine the wind speed there, and accordingly the speed of the web of the same shaheds, well, maybe it has become more complicated, that is, to combine rockets and missiles, that is why there is such an emphasis on missile weapons, well, at least we see that probably it is not necessary to say that the russians have some kind of lack of missiles, they absolutely do not have a lack of missiles, rather, if you are limited by something in these attacks, then they are not limited by the number of missiles, but rather by how many carriers the russians have for these missiles of various types, and here i would like your expert opinion on what

the restrictions may be on this, that is, what exactly, what can they shoot from and what can be the maximum salvo of all these means in this case? well, first of all, if we talk about missiles here, i do not agree with the assessment that the russians have only 40 left, x100 for x555, it is necessary to evaluate at least up to a hundred there. plus, if we talk about some unaccounted for reserves, well, let’s first, the calibers are limited, but they were still used, at least during one recent attack there, three calibers were recorded as having been released, it seems, on january 2, plus more in them winged iskanders , which are medium-range cruise missiles, well, they have them there, it is obvious that they are leading this company, having a stock of missiles, sorry, one day the meerkat will again fire two or three shots at least, and having a certain inviolable stock, i think that the nuance can be not only that... how many carriers they can lift into the air or use at the same time, but also in general to lay the routes, lay the software there, enter all these codes,

there are not so many of them. of the power of people who know how to program missiles, we can recall, let’s say, the investigation that was in the media, it seems, there in the fall of 2022, that there is one department of the ministry of defense of the russian federation that deals with this, there are 14 people, even if they multiplied it, for example , in 140, all the controls that should be programmed there are on-board computers of cruise missiles for flights, well , obviously there are certain, let's say, deadlines, in which you can squeeze in and have time to program only such a number of missiles no more. as for the seeds, well, there really is such a thesis that here are the tu95ms bombers, which would act as the main carriers of russian long-range missiles, well, first of all, they are not young, let’s call it that, they have served at least 40 years, and really they cannot take on board clean already for technical reasons, a full load of missiles, according to the passport 8x101 or 6x555, but we need to understand this, it is not means that if this tu-95 is there. lived for 40

years, that the russians cannot effectively use in us, they were just here in the last campaign, including even from official speakers who took, reduced the number of released bombers that took off, multiplied by eight and let's go scare the citizens, my god, my god , 120 missiles fly at us in one salvo at once, i am now alluding to one, for example, an activist who likes to tweet a lot, i think you can guess about the king, well, roughly speaking, to remind that 195ms are such ... a specific nuance, it is worth it so that , well, various figures do not write later that, my god, my god, 120 rockets are flying at us there at once, we are all hiding nuts, this must be understood, if it is necessary again, by the way, after 1995 ms, one more thing needs to be detailed, why don’t the newer 160s rise here, well, because they are only 30, 35-40 years old there, well, because here it is 95ms, the on-board equipment is more reliable there instead, well, that is, it breaks less

than the 160 and this bombard . it's easier to lift it into the air, which is why the distribution somehow works out that way roles, that to bombard us in such a retinal regime, the russians raise us to 95 ms, the poles of nato raise it to 160, as for ships, there is also a specific nuance specific, i do not think that it is necessary to push away from official reports that the russians, as it were, do not are able to load novosiysk calibers, because, forgive me, how could they shoot three calibers during the attack on january 2 from a submarine, because... on a submarine , the loading procedure is even more complicated than on a surface ship, there, rude saying that it looks like this, a crane floats up, if a ship, it is simply loaded vertically, the tube is already loaded with a rocket, and when going out to a submarine, a special tray should even be placed there, which, you know, you can almost roll in this caliber with your hands, a submarine into a torpedo tube, that is, it is more difficult, more labor-intensive there, if they were able to charge

a submarine in novorossiysk like that, well, maybe the russians... there is a different strategic logic and it is , for example, calculated for the west, in the west for some reason still, you know, well if inadequate with priority is given to the russian missile arsenal, so that, my god, what capabilities do they have in this regard, so maybe they do not fire calibers not from the logic that there is something wrong with them with the new russian, but rather because, well, the west to frighten, because in the justice of the fence it is still necessary to record such a thing that if we have , well, clearly. the air defense capabilities have clearly increased this year, because this strike, which we experienced on december 29 , 2023, can be compared with only one, as the russians attacked ukraine until february 4 , 2022, this is exactly how the intensity of the strikes turns out, and it seems to me, it seems to me that, in principle, ours and our people who work there are now west...
