choristers perform the works and what exactly are the funds collected for? the concert will be completed. at this moment, we are now in the garrison church , dudaryk, a choir chapel, has just finished his concert, in fact, in a moment, as soon as the church was filled with the singing of dudaryk, who is known not only within the borders of lviv, the country, but also abroad, at the same moment gathered a lot of people, today we heard unique christmas carols, and... as well as pre- christmas carols, which are performed, and carols and songs, in particular, by famous ukrainian composers, such as lyutkevich, hnatyshyn, leontovich and others, as i mentioned, these works date from the 11th

century to the present day. also, interestingly, this is the only christmas concert of the lviv dudarik this year, because in previous years. they were heard five times, both in lviv itself and throughout ukraine, this year due to the russian war, they are forced to perform less in ukraine, instead they perform more abroad to raise funds for our soldiers, and we will listen words of the chief conductor and head of the chapel. our concert today and this is a doctrinal manifesto that... we, the smallest, most vulnerable layer of ours, the caste, of the future ukrainian intelligentsia, children, they fight, they keep this ukrainian tradition in their repertoire, they preserve it, they study it and they

will to carry, and this is a so-so christmas message to ukrainians that children are caroling, which means everything will be fine. now , in fact, the concert of the choral chapel is already coming to an end, dudaryk will note that this charity concert, the choristers are collecting funds for our soldiers, in particular for the border guards in luhansk region for the latest development that catches enemy drones, as the conductor of the chapel dudaryk himself noted, today it is painful for them to actually sing in the garrison church, where they buried their own members. popes, who since the full-scale war joined the ranks of the armed forces to defend our freedom with you, and today, therefore, they are collecting funds so that our victory will come sooner, and this is all the news from the event, from the concert, the charity concert of the dodark choir chapel, i will pass on

the word to the studio, thank you, it was our correspondent natalya stareprava, about how piper collects money for our soldiers. on this i tell you, see you soon. 17 and leave you not only in the pleasant, but also useful company of mykola veresnya. fyodor was a military man in the past, and now... the owner of a family cafe in irpen. during the occupation of kyiv oblast, his establishment was damaged by the occupiers. after their escape , the cafe was also robbed. the entrepreneur applied for a grant competition, hoping to be able to resume his business. i won a project, i

was doing my own, from the curator, which is that i want to buy a graniter, this is such and such equipment for creating slush. i want to increase, increase the assortment, mainly for children, because i understand that mostly children will be happy to use it, so that it is possible to make high-quality and useful, useful ice cream from natural juice, do it yourself, a competition for entrepreneurs in small towns and villages, this year it scaled up and in september launched a curator together with the brand to support entrepreneurs in the field of pork, food establishments, hotels, catering. the competition received 84 applications from all over ukraine. the organizers chose 10 winners who received grant funds. this year , the focus was on initiatives related to volunteering or supporting the military. the main criterion was that we could

help, first of all, the military, and secondly , internally displaced persons, that is, you know, we help. it is always difficult, because it is necessary to determine who has the most difficulty right now, that is why we took those segments of the population that are currently the most vulnerable, or those that need help here and now. due to the hostilities, thousands of food establishments have closed or suspended operations. charitable the mhp gromadi fund decided to help some of these businesses. since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the foundation has systematically supported communities and people in need. through this competition, we also develop services in communities, and contribute to the creation of jobs and, accordingly, revenue from the budget from the activities of these enterprises. together with the curator, we created this competition to support and stimulate business in the field of

ferret for small hotels, restaurants, businesses, coffee shops. the organizers hope that the winners of the competition will be able to rebuild and expand their businesses. such small businesses will help develop the communities in which they are located and provide new jobs locally. from 2020, the winners and participants of the competition. created dozens of new enterprises in the agricultural sector, light and food industry, green tourism and other areas. good evening, good. hello, ladies and gentlemen, my name is mykola veresen, we

will be talking with you until 7 p.m., that is, for almost two hours, not only you and i, but also various people who will help us understand what is happening in ukraine and the world, and as always we will start with military circumstances, oleksandr kovalenko, military-political columnist of the information resistance group, he has already appeared, it is very nice, thank you, mr. oleksandr, for being with us on saturday evening here you sit, and not drink beer, like many people. in ukraine , they drink beer on saturday evenings, well , i would do that if, if, if it weren't for work, look, these are the rockets of the korean, so-called , korean, so-called people's, so-called democratic, so-called republic, here they are appeared in russia, and ukrainian experts found fragments of these missiles, they say that they are from north korea, how dangerous they are, how they differ, they are some... such more advanced missiles, which is difficult to say when we are talking about north korea, about the word perfection, but what is it

and how are they dangerous? i can't call them any advanced, it's true, when we talk about north korea, it's not a country that can show off some high-tech products, but what kind of missiles are these, what kind of equipment did russia get from the north korea two. types of missiles, ballistic missiles, kn-23 and kn-24. kn-23 is an exact copy of 9m723, otrk iskander, that is, they are almost like those blasphemy sisters. and, 9m723, it really has such small structural differences from the kon-23. and accordingly, you can find out from them that it was a russian missile. whether it was north korean in terms of characteristics

, any information about the ken-23 is not reliable, it is missing, because i will even say this, north korea is such a closed country that it is actually possible to learn something there, what are there the real characteristics and capabilities are impossible at all, but well, i only give an example that the name km23 is not its s... the real name, it is precisely the western classification, it is precisely the western intelligence that classifies these missiles in this way, what is its actual name in the north korea, even this is not known, but as for the characteristics, now there is information that it has a flight range of 690 km, that it is lighter than the russian iskander and so on, but i would not trust this information either, why, because it was verified. but only once launch this missile has a range of 430 km, which is less than

iskander's 70 km, then kimchi was still present, this was in august 2023, this demonstration, and then this missile flew 430 km, and the fact that it can fly at a distance of more , than the russian iskander, this is not confirmed, ah, another missile, the kn-24, is in fact a further development of point u-type missiles of even older soviet missiles, and externally it is similar, it is very often compared to... atakams externally, it really is similar to the atakams, but it is much larger than the atakams, which again is due to the fact that they have imperfect technology, and in order to have, for example, a flight distance of 400 km, they increased the fuel there, they have a completely different fuel system, fuel tank, larger, accordingly, a combat unit of a different type and so on and so forth

architecture, but in general it is the same soviet point u, but with improved aerodynamics, which the north koreans were able to improve precisely due to the technologies obtained from the 9m723 iskander, that is, it is a kind of combination of the point and the iskander, and the threat is ballistic missiles, in them ballistic flight trajectory, and therefore they are north korean or russian, but they can be intercepted only by the corresponding air defense systems, namely the petrio and sempti air defense systems. that is, mr. oleksandr , that is, it is a matter of quantity, not quality, i understand correctly, simply because of the help of north korea, there were more russians, but they shoot approximately the same as those who, to which we apologize for the words, are already accustomed. it can be said that the russians have found such a situational opportunity

to compensate for the shortage of iskanders, and will use the north korean ones. rockets, as long as pyongyang is ready to hand over them to russia, because pyongyang, it also has its own shiza there, local, they are preparing for war with the whole world, and therefore also to disperse their ammunition warehouses and storage centers, they will not be so fast, as it would i would like, for example, in moscow. the next question is definitely related to mobilization , no one will understand me if i don't say about it, but... what do you think, when i read these wanderings, these discussions in the verkhovna rada, some say that this is not possible , for too hard measures, others say it is necessary, but i sit and think, but how do you convert people who want to go to the army to join the army very easily,

you do not need to do anything, mobilization was announced, people came, and those who do not want or have doubts, like them, how? no matter how persistently i suggest them to leave, and without punishment, i am not me, when they say, no, you can't, you can't steal a car, you can't take property, you can't seize bank accounts, you can't, i i say, how is it possible, and when i ask this question, no one can help me to answer, but how is it possible, well, yes, indeed, this is a very difficult question, because precisely within the limits of obtaining such answers so that... we do not come to repressive methods, which, for example, are used in the same russian federation, and the question of mobilization, in my opinion, it should have already started to enter the political discussion between politicians and the military in 2022, unfortunately, we wasted time and wasted a lot of time, and we started

talking about it so actively, i'm sorry, but when a rooster crows at us... in one place, but only close cooperation between the military and politicians will provide an opportunity to really fully in accordance with the law form a bill on mobilization, its main points and positions, but in fact there is a lot of work, not just how to motivate people to mobilize voluntarily, but besides everything else, this motivation - this there is also the issue of information, information policy, this is the issue of ensuring financial support for families, servicemen, servicemen who died, who were injured, i.e. guarantees a person who goes to mobilize, who goes as a volunteer, voluntarily, a guarantee that his family will not be left alone with, let's

say, the problems of our reality, and besides. everything else, many other issues that entail all this, that is, again, it was necessary to start in 22, now it all happens quite urgently, and sometimes, i understand it, you have to make, well, quite unpopular decisions in order to to solve the problem that we have now. look, one more issue is very important, the occupiers are putting pressure on avdiivka, on the one hand, we will receive this information every day... on the other hand, we will also receive information that top generals and presidents and so on are coming to avdiivka, which tells me that it is not like that, because i would not go. general , generals must be protected, especially the highest leadership in avdiivka, if it is really dangerous there and something can hit us in such a way that we will be left without leadership, this means that what does it

mean when they say that the pressure is going crazy, on the other hand, well, we we see that he is mad, mad, but not as mad as we are everything is gone, no, not everything is gone, of course, the pressure on avdiivka is at its peak today. in general, the entire combat zone, this is the most hot spot on the entire combat map, but it has been happening for three months, this pressure since october 10, and there is something else about it , it says that there are appropriate lines of defense there , borders, fortifications, and in general, the fortification is quite powerful, and the fact that the russians still cannot a... do our defense, this indicates that it is strong enough there, and for example, the president arrives in avdiyivka, and two hours later the russians start an offensive,

surround avdiyivka and capture it, well, this cannot happen, because they have not been able to break through our defense line for several months, although , again, the situation there is really very difficult, because avdiivka, for example, unlike bakhnut, it has only one main logi'. istic artery, and therefore the russians, no matter how much they press, but they have the task of cutting this one logistical artery, while according to bakhmut they had to cut several of these logistical arteries, and so they could not do it until the end, even when 80% of bakhmut was captured, captured, and two logistical arteries of the route 0.5 04 05 06, they continued to work, in avdiyivka this situation is more complicated, but now... indeed our generals and even the president can afford it, indeed it is quite a carefully planned trip with and with all the security regimes, but for now you can

afford it. thank you very much, so all is not lost, for sure oleksandr kovalenko convinces us and convinced me, at least, the military-political observer of the group the information resistance was visiting us, we talked with him about various aspects of management. russian-ukrainian war, now there will be an advertisement for four minutes, i write here, and then there will be professor of new york university ihor eisenberg, whom you remember well, he comes to us on the air quite often. advertising. kratov contains natural components that take good care of your heart. kratal improves blood supply and the functional state of the myocardium, normalizes purity. reduction increases physical and mental performance. kratal is a natural force for your heart. there are discounts on lactiale. 10% in pharmacies plantain,

, you know, is not based on feeling, on emotion, not on the ratio, because we cannot even imagine the ratio, what can be said about the plans of the senate and the house of representatives to provide these 60 or a little more billions in ukraine, by feeling, they will give or not, whether the walls will be built in such a way that i will not be able to give , but i read today, whether it was late yesterday evening or today, that this exchange in... the democrats, the democrats refused the exchange, we make concessions to you, and you give weapons to ukraine, the democrats themselves said that we do not like such an exchange. well, your feeling, based on the newspapers, or maybe, i don't know, based on conversations with some experts, do you think there is a chance that ukraine will receive these 60 billion. greetings, mr. mykola, greetings to all viewers,

well, this is the senator. the democrat said, well he said it a little differently, he said that he would, he would like the republicans not to put conditions, the demand to make changes to the immigration laws in the united states that haven't been made in 30 years, because there's a lot of disagreement and there are no agreements, and this demand, it is quite artificial, because i have doubts, what is possible for, i do not know, well, for more than a month these... speeches have not been made, that it is possible to agree on something that has not been discussed for 30 years could come to an agreement, i have the impression that at least they are influential people in the republican party, they are looking for an excuse to drag, not to add up the aid to ukraine, because it will not be for this, it will be something else, well at least i have hope, i think that the window of opportunity for to pass this bill is until trump starts…
