in your opinion, how close to us is this scenario painted in time? i think it is impossible in the form of the so-called minsk 3, no such stops or agreements that ukraine somehow agrees in the south and in the north and east, the front may not move there, but the depth of this front will increase towards russia , because ukraine to receive. weapons, and receiving them is guaranteed, the point is not only that, well, these packages, this is also a wrong assessment, the package is european, it is guaranteed, it will be, there will be a veto, orban's veto has been bypassed , there are, well, different mechanisms, and it will be decided, regarding american aid, well , i would say, well, there is a lot to say, but in the package that is currently on the ballot, there is only the fifth part is...

direct supplies to ukraine, the rest is the restoration of the stocks of the united states itself and european countries, but this does not mean that these stocks are exhausted, there is still much in the stocks that ukraine did not receive due to political restrictions, and the political restrictions were such that we were restricted from using weapons on the territory of russia, even against the occupied on the anti-russian forces in the occupied territories, now these restrictions are being lifted, at the same time as the missiles of the dprk and the new, new, new weapons of iran, as soon as they get to the front, are simultaneously reduced, reduced restrictions , so i think the weapons will be enough so that even if the front does not move, the depth of this front towards the russian forces will increase drastically, even hundreds of kilometers, so i think, well, this scenario would be relevant beyond within the framework feeling of summer

last year, that's how they talked about it then, and now it's just such a belated assessment, i think it's not relevant, after all. we were contacted by oleksiy yezhak, an analyst at the national institute of strategic studies. mr. oleksiu, i thank you. lithuania, latvia and estonia are one of kyiv's staunchest allies in the european union and nato, and they know exactly what the soviet-russian yoke is like. on january 10, the first foreign trip of volodymyr zelensky this year was a visit to the baltic countries, which the president started from the capital of lithuania, vilnius. he talked with president gitanas nauseda, prime minister ingrida shimonite, as well as speaker of the diet victoria chmelite nielsen. they discussed defense cooperation between the countries, as well. joint projects in the energy and

infrastructure spheres, lithuanian president gitanas nauseda announced the approval of additional military aid to ukraine in the amount of 200 million euros and announced new supplies of ammunition, generators and m-577 armored vehicles to ukraine for january-february. one of the key moments of the meeting was the agreement on joint production weapons and means of combat. with drones, meanwhile, the president of lithuania noted that he is also preparing a coalition for demining the territory of ukraine. agreements between the ukrainian and lithuanian defense industries were signed today, which is another example of our close military cooperation. we must also ensure continuity of long-term support from allies and partners to help europe's ukraine. defense

industry as a whole must step up its game, accelerate and adequately respond to a complex security situation. on thursday morning, the president zelensky arrived in the estonian capital tallinn. estonian president alar karis announced aid in the amount of 1,200,000 euros until 2027. karis also noted that ukraine needs more. and better equipment, and the european union should increase the production of weapons so that our army can get everything it needs, not tomorrow, but today, and emphasized that in the russian federation's war against ukraine, strikes on russian territory cannot be avoided. there should be no restrictions on weapons transferred to ukraine by partners. meanwhile, president zelenskyi under during a joint press conference with the prime minister of estonia, kaya. palass

called for pressure on eu leaders, namely those who promised ukraine 1 million artillery shells. he noted that the ukrainian army still... has not received the full package of the promised aid, and that today estonia can politically give way to this initiative. volodymyr zelenskyi completed his trip to latvia in latvia. president edgars rinkevičes announced a new military aid package. it will include howitzers, nato standard ammunition, anti-tank weapons, missiles, all-terrain vehicles, grenades, helicopters, drones, communication devices, generators and... equipment. rinkeviches said that latvia has also undertaken to lead a coalition of drones within the framework of ramstein, and will sign memoranda of cooperation in the military sphere with ukraine. it is, in particular, about the production of drones.

it's time to change the emphasis. we have said a lot that we support ukraine and will support it as long as it is necessary. but to be honest, the main... the goal and the main political signal should be what we support and will support ukraine to complete victory over russian imperialism. ukraine no longer has to ask for help and weapons, but will receive them automatically. as soon as volodymyr zelenskyy returned to kyiv, british prime minister rishi sunak made an unannounced visit to the capital. this arrival. became a true manifestation of unwavering support, because during the meeting, zelenskyi and sonak concluded an unprecedented and historic agreement on cooperation in the field of security. this means that the uk has given us security guarantees that will last until we join

nato. they will exchange intelligence with us, help with cyber security, military training and strengthen defense-industrial cooperation. it is about the supply of long-range missiles, anti-aircraft and artillery shells. the agreement provides annual financial support for at least 10 years and comprehensive assistance to the armed forces of ukraine for the transition to nato standards. the uk will provide £2.5 billion in military aid to ukraine in 2024-25. years, which is 200 million pounds sterling more than in the previous two years, at least 200 million pounds will be spent on the purchase and production of reconnaissance, attack and maritime drones, this will be the largest delivery of uavs to ukraine. we have now agreed with

britain on security in all spheres, on land, in the air, at sea, in cyberspace, in broad political interaction in detail. regarding weapons, absolutely clearly, regarding our state border. ukraine is not alone and will never be alone. putin may think that he worries about us, but he is wrong. we stand here today, tomorrow i will stand as long as it takes. the war is ukraine's war for the right to defend itself, to defend itself, its future. she must not give in... it was probably clear to the majority that the government draft law on improving mobilization, which, by the way, caused heated discussions and disputes, in particular in the parliament, will be sent for finalization. therefore, on january 11

, a closed meeting was held with the military leadership, heads of factions and committees, after the meeting of the conciliation council with the participation of valery zaluzhny and rustem umirov. decided that significant revision was needed and returned the document. later, people's deputy yaroslav zhelezniak reported that the cabinet of ministers voted to withdraw its document. the chairman of the verkhovna rada noted on his facebook page that it was a joint decision. meanwhile , defense minister rustem umerov said on thursday evening that the team had prepared a new version of the draft law taking into account of all offers. in the near future, the updated document will be sent to the cabinet of ministers for approval, and he added: the issue of improving mobilization should to decide as soon as possible, because our soldiers need rest, and with the new draft law they plan to establish a clear

term of service. and while the mobilization epic continues, a number of units have started. active recruiting. this practice involves the possibility of a person independently choosing a military unit and specialty. ukrainian job search services received more than 37 resumes in response to military vacancies for the armed forces of ukraine. these are the results of the recruiting project of the ministry of defense in two months. in the top five most popular vacancies on workua includes an accountant, a clerk, a cook, a scout and a uav operator. utopias on olx, operators, drivers, guards and gunners. ua's work receives reviews for the most part. for border service vacancies, logistics vacancies, medical specialties and military

specialties related to uavs. so, our journalists learned how to effectively attract people to work in the armed forces of ukraine. this is the work of a unit of the 110th separate mechanized brigade. soldiers hold back the invaders near avdiivka with heavy drops from drones. and this is dodged at the border with romania, let's somehow settle this issue, i'm begging you, i have to go, take my children out, at least 100 dollars for the trip, well , please, 11,00 people like them were detained in 2023, the border guards report. about 20 men drowned in tisza last year alone, and these are the ones who were found. but while there are more refugees on the border, there are fewer troops... in the trenches, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to replenish the ranks. the need for an optimal

bill on mobilization is becoming more and more urgent, the military is convinced that mobilization should be fair. a law will not be obeyed if a person believes it is unjust. if during the war one and a half billion can be stolen from the deputy minister of defense, why then is some individual citizen obliged to give his life? elites are always primarily responsible. if the elites do not bear the burden of the war themselves, it is impossible to motivate the citizens. a guy who lives on the outskirts is equal to one who lives in the city and has a hairy arm. and if necessary, the state mobilizes both one and the same and another, and not one will be mobilized. will hide in various institutions in large metropolises, this is the first, second, for the required

number of people in our country, there should be a reliable system of educational institutions that will provide a general course of basic military training. the bureaucracy in the army, which is increasingly complained about by military personnel, does not help with the motivation to serve. in their opinion, a change in approaches is needed not only in mobilization, but also in service conditions. someone there in the operational-tactical group noticed that the documents did not say sp, an observer point, point of observation and all the documentation had to be rewritten, because it is necessary to write correctly, people with stars and ranks do it, and they also receive combat pay, an alternative and relatively new way to replenish the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine, this is recruiting, it is actively occupied by... 92 - a separate assault brigade. within a month and a half, it was possible to find a personnel resource

of 200 people. these people are currently being trained. conventionally speaking, these are two combat companies in terms of equipment. at the end of 2023 , the ministry of defense concluded agreements with four recruiting companies. as of now , about four hundred units have posted almost 2,000 vacancies. 17.5 thousand people responded to them at the expense of social networks, at the expense of television channels, at the expense of various sites, including, for example, we post our vacancies, where there is a clear and understandable algorithm, what awaits you after mobilization, what is the mobilization path, what tasks you will perform, plus in addition, constant communication with a representative from our division who answers everything the most difficult questions, gives clarity. open vacancies in the achilles division can be found by the qr code that you are currently

seeing on the screens. and while there is no new law on mobilization, recruiting, it is not the best opportunity to choose your profession in the armed forces on your own, until the military mothers have done it for you. this week, 10 ukrainian families received compensation for the destroyed russian woman. housing and have already purchased real estate, donetsk region and kyiv region are in the top ten, reports the minister of community development of the territory and infrastructure oleksandr kubrakov, as well as those who already... already have a certificate, can reserve funds for the purchase of housing. 5 days to process the application and you can draw up a purchase and sale agreement for a new home within 30 days. our correspondents visited the village of motyzhyn in kyiv region. this settlement was under occupation for a month. there, the russians not only

vandalized homes, but also kidnapped and killed the headman of the village, olga sukhenko, her husband and son. the woman presided in motyzhyn since 2006 . compatriots say that she cared about the village and its residents as if they were her own. also seen destroyed houses in kharkiv. there, people are actively issuing certificates for compensation in action. what is the situation with recovery in these two regions? read more in our review. here is a hall, here is a small corridor, there is a room. here the veranda was a healthy veranda. stefania ivanovna still remembers every corner of her destroyed house. the woman tells in detail where the furniture was and where she rested with her husband, but now only the foundation remains of the house. in march 2022, the russian army covered with hail the whole street this is our street, almost, oli,

neighbors, the house burned down, there was a fire, here in the neighbor's sashka, the wall. fell down after the first shelling, immediately the second. the woman realized that she had to save herself, since the house was already engulfed in fire. i got off the sofa, and that's it , i crawled out and went down the corridor to him, and i was just about to fall asleep when they started shooting for the second time, and i this one, and i stuck him like this between the bed and the wall, i covered him with myself like that , covered, then the thundering stopped, and then we left. came out and it was already burning in the hall. during the entire occupation of the village, mrs. stefania and her husband were tortured, they were temporarily sheltered by friends. the woman did not dare to see her house for a long time, because she and her husband built this house almost from scratch and dreamed that they would raise their grandchildren there and gather as a family. i didn't scream, i didn't

do anything, i stood as if i was buried in ice, and that's all, i didn't say anything, i didn't understand anything. that it is being done, there is only one well, a toilet and a gate, that's all. like that! currently, the couple installed a temporary modular one house. this is how the kitchen, guest room, guest room and his bedroom are. in total , 18 houses were destroyed in motyzhyn due to the occupation. the head of the village emphasizes that all residents of motyzhyn were helped to issue documents. some were rebuilt from scratch. currently, all owners of such apartments have already applied for the program. there is restoration, 22 houses need complete capital repairs, 89 houses need ongoing repairs, they need restoration, of course they do, and there is a program of restoration, where each house is individual, and funds are allocated for each

in individual form there, and this is kharkiv. a bantosh family near their destroyed house, only one wall was standing, a russian shell burned down the house in the first days of the full-scale invasion, wife olena and daughter victoria were at work in the hospital when the husband felt the need to flee the house. i called my wife at work, said that i was scared and would go to kum, went, in the morning they informed me that the house was no longer there. during these two years, the family lived in an evacuation for several months, then in... the city commission has to decide whether it is true the house is completely destroyed and transfer the materials to the action. what is the area of ​​the house? but the amount

of compensation. it is not the city commission that calculates, but the experts of the restoration program directly, so the bantosh family does not yet know what to count on, the couple has not decided whether they will buy a new home or rebuild on the site of the destroyed house. what will we be able to pull, because we have no relatives, we ourselves, no parents, there is no one to help, so how it will turn out, we do not guess, we wanted to rebuild here, and there we understand, in general, in kharkiv, due to the action, applications were submitted 1216 owners of destroyed housing. the commission has already inspected more than a thousand objects. and only 25 of them were recognized as truly destroyed, but there are much more destroyed apartments and houses in kharkiv, says the head of the city commission, it's just that often people can't even

apply for the restoration program because they have problems with ownership. if a person does not have these data in this state register of property rights, or does not have incorrect data, he cannot submit this application, and we have to work. further assist residents to be able to submit this application due to action, then this application is already sent to us, to the city of kharkiv through the register of damaged and destroyed property. despite everything, 11 people have already received their certificates for the purchase of a new home, among them ophelia's mother, she lived in the house on severny saltivka, where the russians dropped aerial bombs at the beginning of march. the woman shares that the apartment was appraised a little cheaper than it is worth. and now they will try to buy a new one as soon as possible, because the dollar is growing, and the compensation is in hryvnia, to top it all off, there are sellers for deals under the program recovery, they go reluctantly, few

of the sellers know what certificates are, and they are afraid to cooperate with us today, because they do not know what it is, but it is all real, well, because we are the first, this is the first survey, experience . the first in the country, well, you can also understand them. everyone who has lost their home has one dream, they want to have a warm house, and for the house to be their own, and not to live somewhere with someone else. however, none of the residents of kharkiv have purchased a new home yet. this is how our team saw this week. even after the darkest night comes dawn. belief in the victory of ukraine helps both the military and civilians, but this week he proved that the world believes in us with his support. so, let's bring our victory closer together. i, iryna koval, was with you.

all. 12 men stopped two tanks. two bmps and up to 60 personnel, no one got out, not everyone died there. victory units is a new documentary series from the yukrai team, which tells about the powerful brigades and battalions that fight for our freedom. and the first series will be about 30 separately mechanized. brigade named after prince konstantin ostrozky. you may be hearing about it for the first time, but this particular brigade is at war with russia since the age of 14. they took part in the iconic

raid operation for several years. the defense of the svyatodar arc, the legendary kharkiv counteroffensive, and now continue to hold the defense in the direction of bakhmut. also, this brigade is called the elite of the ukrainian infantry, and today we will find out why. in soviet times, the 30th brigade was called the rivne tank division. after the declaration of ukraine's independence, its personnel swore an oath of loyalty to the ukrainian people. and the next one is important. an event that affected not only the brigade, but also for our entire army, happened in 2004. oleksiy, chief of staff, serviceman of the brigade since 2004. at that time, the brigade was conducting an experiment on coming from military service under the draft to military service under a contract, so we were the flagships of this experiment. i believe that he gave and the 30th

separate mechanized. yes, it became the first brigade in the ground forces of the armed forces of ukraine to enter military service under a contract, the level of training, when i got there in 2012, we were graduated my khrupniks, they got to the conscript servicemen. hryhoriy, the commander of the mechanized battalion, was awarded the order of bohdan khmelnytskyi, second and third degrees. i got to the serviceman contract sergeant. the soldiers who were there, there in kosovo, congo, sierra leone , participated in peacekeeping cooperation, then i completely radically changed my attitude to military service, because i saw that it was the next level, well, it's not what i what was expected was that they were preparing us, well , they were professionals in their field, and we were were for five to six months at the training grounds, dream, thunderstorm, thunderstorm, i am a champion. in

the direction of landmark 4 of the yellow circle, i observe two tanks in a trench destroyed by concentrated fire, i can say what i saw in the 14th year. serhii dmitriev, a military chaplain, joined the brigade in 2014. there were few combat-ready military units. 70% of the unit knew english and some other foreign languages. we had, for example. there is a relative who knew, he is now in the 72nd brigade, he spoke fluently in catalan and french there, that is, these are witnesses people, motivation in the 14th year , their salary was 300 hryvnias, even then it was little money, the weapons were of poor quality, but they were professional soldiers, motivated, politically literate, of course there was something left from the soviet army, because

i i remember that what... on may 9 , they flashed by inertia, but they already knew clearly that they would defend ukraine, what ukraine is. the 30th brigade, which is stationed in volyn, has long been a professional military unit, a separate mechanized brigade that has certain traditions, they fight as an armed force, have been resisting the enemy since 2000. 14th year, and it is time to give them an honorary name. oleksiy rudenko, an employee of the department of military symbols, office of the commander-in-chief of the ukrainian armed forces, heraldist artist, as part of the new army volunteer group, participated in the development of the new identity of the armed forces. since they are based in novohrad-volynskyi, which recently regained its historical name of zvyagil, these are all territories of undivided protection.
