it is hardly possible to say that the enemy's offensive has completely stopped, because in fact we are only at such a certain stage, where the enemy, although there is less intensity of hostilities there, but now the enemy's forces are again accumulating in certain directions, and this not the components related to kupyansk, avdiivka, bakhmut, maryanka, we can expect that after a certain time the enemy will also, well, start active hostilities again. it is important here that the enemy... well, mobilization in ukraine, how many people are being recruited into the army, are being prepared and sent to the fronts, it’s a secret , yes, that’s why i don’t know about it and won’t talk about it, but it became known that up to 10 thousand new arrivals were formed in the mariupol region before enemy activities, they are sent to the fronts, in the same time new groups are forming, how effective is this group, if we are talking about this southeast donetsk region, southeast ukraine, well, donetsk region from yes. well, in fact

here, if we are talking about the number of enemy forces, yesterday there was a statement from the deputy head of the main intelligence department vadym skibitskyi, who spoke about the fact that 462 occupiers are received on the territory of ukraine, who are there in temporarily occupied territories, and by the way, this is slightly more than it was in december, when it was said about 430 thousand, that is, in fact... this is hidden mobilization, as skibitskyi said, allows the enemy to maintain the intensity of hostilities that is currently taking place on the front line, and the main forces are now concentrated precisely in the kupyansk limank zone, about 100,000, the bakhmut zone 80,000, avdiyivka - 40,000 and later, relatively speaking, when we move there.

if we move to the south, then in principle up to 2,000 personnel are spread out in different areas, the quality of the personnel is now, in principle, higher than after the main blows were inflicted on the russian army, but we understand , that now, relatively speaking, due to the number of the enemy will try to continue to carry out this pressure tactic along the entire front line, and the most important thing now... is that there is an appropriate number of means of impression on our side artillery, which will allow, in my opinion, in principle, to minimize this temporary numerical advantage of the enemy. well, we have literally two minutes, i will also ask about the krynks, we spoke today with the representative of the kherson regional military administration, he says that the marines really succeed, well, there are such units there, but we are talking about the marines, first of all , to hold the bridgehead, even expand it somewhat and actively destroy enemy equipment, well, we were talking about 90%. the technique

that was there, which is gone, as you would estimate battles in the pits? well, in fact, it seems to me that this is one of the most difficult directions, because now, relatively speaking, there are marines, border guards, special operations forces, according to various estimates, there are 300 to 600 of our military, who are primarily covered by our artillery'. from the right bank of the dnieper , the active work of our fpv drones is being covered by the means of the reb , and in fact the enemy is also using the assault actions of his russian paratroopers there to knock out our marines, it is not possible, but when any enemy equipment is used, it is really destroyed by artillery in the air, if you look at the extreme pictures around the same wells, you can see... almost like graveyards of russian

military equipment, so in any case there even this deputy commander of the russian landing forces, who are responsible for the direction of armored vehicles, died , precisely, the colonel, who is actually a friend of this teplinsky, who himself went there to extract the btr-82, which was destroyed by the ukrainian, it seems that either the artillery or the bucket has already died there, so relatively speaking, the cover of these our... e marines is quite effective, but it is necessary to understand that what we do next with this mission, on our military on this part of the front, we must understand that, in any case , military expediency should be at the fore, and not some political decisions that can, at times, overly dominate military logic. thank you very much to serhiy, serhiy zgorets, director of the defense express agency, and these were military results of the week. so congratulations to you vasyl,

and thank you to our viewers, so we hope that next week there will be more good news about the actions of our units on the front line and more destroyed enemies. yes, thank you very much, sergey, and now i have a plot for your attention, which actually continues, continues the military theme. a development that helps destroy the enemy. ukrainian kamikaze drones are produced by volunteers from lviv. drones are tinkered with depending on the requests and needs of our military. how are such advantages created, have such home-made iron birds, our koris will tell. that's how the fpv drone from the april charitable foundation works for hostile purposes. volunteers started making percussion birds in september 2023. we developed the prototype ourselves - says yuriy tanasiychuk, the initiator of the production. we bought basic versions of drones, we

took them apart, we built an internal architecture for ourselves, which is called knowledge, how everything interacts, from which. materials are made. kamikaze volunteer drones equipped with powerful engines, stable frame and high-quality controllers for control. therefore, home-made devices serve our military better than expensive factory-made drones, - explains yurii tenasiychuk. that is, we have drones with a size of 8, 9, 10 inches under normal conditions, our drones will fly at least 10 km, they will take an average working weight of 1, 2.5. kilograms, it can be three, we also did tests for 5 kg. the cost of a self-made drone is from $500 to $700. ukrainians, entrepreneurs and territorial communities will willingly donate funds. component parts volunteers are bought abroad, and some spare parts are printed in the workshop on 3d printers.

the maximum that we can do ourselves, we try to do ourselves, that is, we have cutting frames from carbon, creating individual ones. tails, racks, fastening elements, elements printed on 3d printers, these are different engineer andriy, they assemble the drone in less than two hours, ready birds are always tested by volunteers. once a week, volunteers of the april charitable foundation teach those who want to assemble drones. first of all, there is a need to protect the country, the more people there are. it can the more people there are, the more maneuverable we are, and it is very important that in the event of mobilization, the workshop or production does not stop, that is why many of our drones are made by girls, from november 2000, if

you want to increase the number of good russians and destroyed enemy equipment, join to collection for details, to ukrainian birds. you can now see the details on the screen. kateryna oliynyk, oleg palyamar, espresso tv channel. good evening, we are from ukraine. and we continue with the big ether, the second hour is ahead, a lot of interesting things await you, economic results of the week with oleksandr morchivka, also , yuriy fizar will tell in more detail what happened there on the arabian peninsula in the yemen region, the weather from natalka didenko, what it will be like this weekend, a lot of interesting, a lot of important things, but we will start with the news, briefly about the most important things, i will now tell you in detail: a 28-year -old man for... as a result of an airstrike on avdiivka, the russians dropped a guided aerial bomb on the city, targeting a residential building - said the head of the donetsk regional military administration, vadym filashkin. new york was also shelled by enemies from hailstones, a private house and three high-rise buildings were damaged. and the russians killed two people

in kherson, terrorists hit the city with artillery. a woman who was on the street died, and was found burnt in a mutilated car. the person's identity is being established, the head of the region oleksandr prokudin said. fires started as a result of the shelling, and they were promptly extinguished. i'm sitting on the stovetop. and then there was such a shake that dust fell from the ceiling, and the house shook, but what, this, this was the first time, and then the second once, and so it is the second time. stronger , it was very scary, there was an arrival and we quickly went into the corridor, it was very loud, it was such that we were in the corridor for 4-5 hours, because it was very loud somewhere nearby, of course it is scary, it remains under

the ruins of our own homes , who died due to russians undermining the kakhovka hydroelectric power station, are still lying under the rubble of buildings in the temporarily occupied bare pier on the left bank of the kherson region. russia. they don't eliminate the consequences and they don't get the bodies - the manager said of the local military administration svitlana linnyk. people are considered missing, their relatives are looking for them, according to known official data. according to the ukrainian authorities , ten people died in the bare pier, but the real number of victims may be much higher. let me remind you that last year on june 6, the russians blew up the dam of the kakhovka hydroelectric power station. deported children. the security service of ukraine detained a collaborator from kherson who served the russians during the occupation of the city. the woman was the deputy head of the kherson emergency medical care center and gave it away russians have a fleet of cars. with them , the invaders took ukrainian children to russia. after the deoccupation of the city, she came

to lviv. the traitor managed to be detained at the krakow border checkpoint when she tried to leave for the european union. currently, she was informed about the suspicion and taken into custody. during the occupation of the regional center, the official joined the management team of the captured medical facility and handed over 24 ambulances to the invaders. she herself. signed the relevant order for the visibility of the legality of the data procedures in addition, the defendant helped the fascists in the mass deportation of ukrainian children. they were taken in ambulances from the kherson region to the crimea, and then to russia. in this way, they disguised the illegal removal of minors under the guise of moving special medical vehicles. the special representative of the united states of america for the reconstruction of ukraine, peni pritzker, arrived on a visit to kyiv, along with her. the heads of several american private companies came, the ambassador of the united states of america to ukraine informed about it

bridget brink. the delegation led by pritzker has already held a meeting with vice prime minister oleksandr kubrakov. during it , practical steps to increase ukrainian exports and restore the viability of its economy were discussed. next news. fled from ukraine. yesterday, 17 men were detained in transcarpathia who tried to illegally cross the border to hungary, 12 of them wanted to go to romania, and five wanted to go to romania. all from transcarpathia, lviv oblast, mykolaiv, poltava, dnipro, donetsk and zaporizhzhia, reported in state border service of ukraine. in relation to them , protocols on the administration of offenses were drawn up, and the cases were sent to court. harvest. victory , the project of the agribusiness development center brought together 20 entrepreneurs from the west of ukraine to discuss

business development scenarios, farming trends and attracting grant funding at a master class in lviv. according to expert ivan kolchytskyi, it often happens that there is a good idea, but there is absolutely no plan and systematic way to turn it into a real success, especially in the conditions of war. each participant shaped the event an action plan that will help achieve important results. a great deal of attention was paid to human capital, the attraction of grant funding, and the ability to calculate the financial aspects of business, the next stage is to talk about trends, that is, we talked about what trends await us in the 24th year in order to prepare for them and have the opportunity to shape scenario. there was very little theory, there was more practice, and this is communication with colleagues, in the process you learn what people are like, they are also engaged in, interested in their fields, they tell us in general terms, but you everyone is already building a plan,

a strategy in his head, how he will build, or at least start building his business. from january 12 , 1975, on the initiative of vyacheslav chornovol , the day of the ukrainian political prisoner began to be celebrated in the camps of mordovia. day of those who remained faithful to principles and ideals, despite physical torture and arrests. nowadays, this... holiday has acquired a new meaning, because russia with new strength is holding ukrainians and crimean tatars prisoner. about the fate of ukrainian political prisoners in the 21st century. see in our material. january 12, 1972. soviet the authorities begin the largest repressive action against ukrainian dissidents. already in january 2024, the russian authorities continue the shameful tradition and illegally detain hundreds of ukrainians. in the temporarily occupied territories , muscovites forcibly hand out their passports, and

later condemn our citizens according to their own laws, they do not allow ukrainian law enforcement officers, diplomats, or representatives of international missions to join the prisoners. russia considers the citizens of ukraine to be its citizens, because russia committed such a war crime as forcible passporting, it concerns. residents of occupied crimea, this applies to residents of donetsk, luhansk regions, as well as newly occupied territories, and russia pretends that these are its citizens, and it judges them as its citizens. political prisoner - a person in whose case there is a clear political component, for example, opposition to the relevant authorities. however, for our citizens, the occupying power is precisely the occupying power, as well as one that does not comply with the norms of international law, so ukrainian political prisoners are rather political prisoners. but for oleg sentsov,

putin is not his president, therefore oleg sentsov is not politically connected, he is... a hostage, just like akhtem cheygos, just like elmil merov, just like other citizens of ukraine , who declare at these imitation courts, at these blasphemous courts, that we are ukrainian citizens, for them putin is not their regime. russian prisons sometimes become programs of slow death, the state of health of political prisoners there is not concerned. because of this, in particular last year in places of imprisonment two died. roman prisoners dzhemil gafarov and konstantin shiring. in addition , there is no de facto right to defense and hope for advocacy. this is done by russian lawyers who do not defend justice, but rather persuade them to plead guilty. you see, in order for a lawyer to be able to influence something, there must be a justice system, it is absent, so

the lawyer is there more so that the person who was imprisoned for political reasons is fit. by the gaze of, say, such a seasoned lawyer who can observe, can intervene, can prevent torture, example. the annexed crimea became the center of kremlin justice against ukrainians. the majority of prisoners are kept on the peninsula. people from the newly occupied territories are transported there, arrested there not only for their political views, but also for their religious beliefs. however, in general, the range of articles that are put forward to our citizens... is limited, mostly it is extremist activity and terrorism, because even in russia it is difficult to condemn ukrainians simply because they are ukrainians. the crimean tatars use the terrorist method articles or articles of persecution for the participation of the chelidzhihan battalion, and for the ukrainians , sabotage, espionage and possession of weapons. the issue of the return of political prisoners is

even more difficult than the return of our military, because if for the latter there are exchange mechanisms, then for the arrested there are none. since 2014, the number of those who managed to return home, unfortunately, is limited to dozens. after the announcement of the verdict, the lawyer cannot do anything, because there is no justice in russia, that is, there is no point in trying to change something. these people can exit only as a result of political agreements between ukraine and russia, only if ukraine will work very hard, a lot on it. according to the representation of the president of ukraine in the autonomous republic of crimea, as of september 2023, russia is illegally detaining 186 citizens of ukraine. however, such numbers are incomplete. the kremlin continues to arrest civilians on absolutely ridiculous charges, just as the soviet union did half a century ago.

we continue to talk and... good evening to you vasyl, good evening to everyone who joined today to our air. so, today in the column world about ukraine about what is happening there in yemen, aid to ukraine, what is wrong with it, and what sociology says about the next year, about this and other things in a moment in the column world about ukraine. but i'll start with the next one. military, military conflict, this time in yemen, this very country on the arabian peninsula was under the crosshairs. the armed forces of the united states of america and great britain launched a massive missile attack on the positions of the houthis in yemen. tonight under radars, air defense systems, as well as warehouses and launch sites for drones and missiles were hit. a total of

60 objects in 16 locations. these locations were in the city. saada, hodeida, tais and damara. at the same time, i want to note that sana'a is the capital, and hodeidah is a large, very large seaport . the united states reported that about a hundred rockets were fired, while the houthis claimed 73. it is not yet known whether all the rockets hit the target. the wall street journal reported with reference to its own sources about the fact that the houthis knew about the possible shelling in advance, and therefore could hide equipment and ammunition. and the houthis have already threatened to continue. strike back, i will remind you that the us decided to strike after a series of attacks by the houthis on merchant ships sailing from the gulf of aden through the strait of babelmandeb in june. not the sea, well, and also after the shelling of their military bases and ships, well, as we can see, the shelling was serious, very few video materials appeared

on the network, which would show the damage caused by these shellings, i would like to all the missiles hit the target, because they hit those strategically important houthi objects from which they fire at ordinary merchant ships, well, in the west. in general, they supported the actions of the americans and the british in yemen. in many countries of the world, their actions were called such that they do not contradict the charter of the united nations. this is what they said, for example, in the united states of america, nato generally stated that the massive missile strike was carried out in self-defense. the actions of washington and london were also supported in the netherlands, bahrain and canada a number of other countries did not participate at all. in this operation, but representatives of their governments stressed that they fully supported such actions, since the objective of the night attack was to unblock shipping in

the region. i really hope that it will be unblocked, but we must understand that it will not be some kind of one-time operation that will solve everything, unfortunately, no, the houthis have a lot of weapons, and we may have to carry out such strikes, well, but however, tradition... if, for example, representatives of western countries expressed themselves in support for the actions of the united states of america and great britain, the turkish president recep tayyip erdogan traditionally stood up for his fellow believers in yemen. he accused the united states and great britain of using disproportionate force. moreover , he called the night shelling an attempt by washington and london to turn the red sea, further his quote: into a sea. of blood, at the same time he emphasized that he receives information from other sources and according to it the houthis will respond successfully to the strikes, but whether

they respond successfully, i cannot do anything about to say this, but the fact that, as i have already told you, they have a lot of weapons, well, this is a fact that must be reckoned with and which must be taken into account by both the british and the americans when they think, prepare. some subsequent operations, well , the originality of the position and comments that came out today from russia and directly from the kremlin did not impress at all. during a briefing at the russian foreign ministry, its spokeswoman, who likes to call herself an official representative, masha zakharova, accused washington and london of violating the principles of the un charter, and even said that the kremlin has called a meeting of the united nations security council for today. of nations, and putin's deputy in the russian security council , dmitry medvedev, said that the united states' strike on the houthis' facilities in yemen was, in particular, aimed at diverting attention from

its problematic kyiv wards. well, but do we pay attention to what medvedev says? very often no, but you still need to pay attention, because whatever he drinks there, whatever he uses there, he still articulates that position, it sounds from the kremlin, which he is allowed to articulate and which is constantly present in those circles. yes, well, i have to say two words about why what is happening in yemen is extremely important for the world in general and for ukraine in particular. well , first of all, i personally really hope that all of the missiles, well, okay, most of the missiles that were, i hope they were tomahawks, most of the missiles that were fired at the military. whole in yemen, that they got where they needed to go and did a lot of damage to the houthis, the houthis, in particular, are shiites, but they are an offshoot of

of the shiite branch , is to come in, and even though they don't seem to get along very well with the main branch that comes from iran, but still they are shiites, and that's why iran supports them very much, it was iran that allowed them to organize in 2014 . start a civil war in yemen and overthrow the then leadership led by president abd rabu mansour hadi, and this abdoru mansour hadi even had to flee the country, he found refuge in saudi arabia, and there last year he transferred all powers to the government of national unity , but as we can see, for now there is no national unity in yemen, and the houthis, no matter what they do there, no matter how many weapons they have, they themselves. in themselves they are a hole from a bagel, if there were no weapons from iran, and these are drones, and these are missiles, they would not be able to do anything, and since they

are doing enough. then these attacks on even military vessels, as well as shelling with rockets, the territory of israel, which were after what happened there in early october, shows that they have these rockets, and the main purpose of the shelling, of course , today's night shelling, of course to weaken the houthis militarily and to protect civilian shipping, america's naval forces, unfortunately, cannot send more. us military and financial aid, this was said during the briefing by the coordinator of strategic communications of the white house security council, john kirby, according to him , the administration of the current president of the united states of america has given everything it had in stock and for which there was funding. now, he said, according to admiral kirbitt, the aid has run out, and now it's up to both houses of the u.s. congress to vote on

continued provision. all the necessary financial military aid to kyiv, but somehow congress is in no hurry to solve this issue. i looked again in the agenda of both houses of the american highest legislative body of the united states of america and could not find any information there about when or if this issue will be put to a vote in the near future, although not last year, it is already at the beginning of this week. the speaker of the lower house, the house of representatives mike johnson said that there are certain questions to ukraine, in particular, how to rebuke, even not to ukraine, but to the president of the united states of america, how will these weapons, which are provided to ukraine, be used, and so, at yesterday's briefing, admiral john kirby also said that they would listen to the republicans and be more active.

monitor where the us weapons are going, ok monitor, just vote to give us these weapons as soon as possible, we're honestly asking you to, after all, you understand. the united states of america introduced new anti-russian sanctions. this was announced by the us secretary of state anthony blinken. according to him, the new restrictions apply to three legal entities and one physical entity. all of them are involved in the transfer of ballistic missiles to russia. from north korea in washington claim that the missiles transferred to moscow were used by it during a military operation in ukraine, further - a quote from mr. blinken: the transfer of ballistic missiles to russia by north korea supports russia's aggressive war, increases the suffering of the ukrainian people and undermines the global regime of misunderstanding. it's a bit surreal, you must agree. north korea gives a bunch of missiles,

well... i don't know if it's a bunch, but it gives a bunch of missiles to russia so that russia continues this aggressive war, and the united states of america still can't think whether to give ukraine or europe enough of those missiles that can hit in further quantities for that ukraine could adequately defend itself against the influx that has just come to us. even more interesting is the reaction of the same masha zakharova, the official representative, well, that's what she 's called. myself, i call her simply spokeswoman masha zakharova, for this information, she she said that you are what, god forbid, you are everything to me, you are everything to me about the fact that we have a northern...
