exhausting battles, the armed forces defend themselves before going on the attack, the results of the 18th ramstein, what secret weapon will ukraine receive and an alternative to expensive shells, how ukrainians assemble drones right at home. congratulations, annavamelnik is with you and this is the news, results of the week. muscovites attacked poltava oblast with rockets, an industrial facility in the kremenchug district was hit, the head of the region, philip pronin, announced. a fire broke out as a result of the shelling, all emergency services are working, information about the victims is being clarified. a child was killed as a result of an air bomb attack by the russians a 13-year-old girl died in the hospital today in the small town of borluk in the kharkiv region. the occupiers dropped a bomb on the village back in january

, according to oleg sinyagubov, the head of the regional military administration, the child was in a coma for a long time because she was seriously injured, and today she passed away. and two people were killed by the russians in sumy oblast. a 54-year-old man and his sister were traveling by car between two villages of the khotyn community. enemy drg, shot their car. criminal proceedings were opened in the office of the prosecutor general of ukraine. and the local authorities once again called people leave the border villages and cities of the region. more than 40 cruise, ballistic, aviation and anti-aircraft guided missiles. kyiv, kharkiv, balaklia, pavlograd and shostka, at least twenty dead, more than 130 wounded. such are the consequences of another massive missile attack by russia on january 23. kharkiv suffered the most, as a result of being hit by an armed missile. residential

building, 11 people died there, among them an eight-year-old girl. president zelensky called this an example of typical terrorism and once again called on our partners to strengthen ours air defense. what is the situation with ukraine's support? in the material of my colleagues. a combo strike to try to bypass the air defense system. the defenders knocked down 21 targets, but the situation for them is increasingly difficult. according to the white house, the stockpile of missiles for... air defense systems in ukraine is decreasing, the enemy understands this and is trying to exhaust our air defense. the russians are trying to oversaturate ukraine's air defense systems and are not hitting all of their intended targets, which is why it is so important that congress approves additional funding. ukrainians are already forced to adopt tough decisions on the battlefield as to whether they are going to fire or keep the missiles in reserve, and the russians know it. washington provided the last package of military support to ukraine on december 20. 8. the american

administration has no funds for new ones. congress still hasn't approved the more than $60 billion aid package that president joseph biden introduced back in october 2023. against this background , the 18th rammstein was held online this week. us defense secretary lloyd austin, who chaired the meeting, called on allies to help ukraine more actively, especially now, when the pentagon's hands are tied. putin hopes that the missiles and drones will demoralize the ukrainian people and undermine the morale of the ukrainian military. i urge the ramstein group to further explore the possibility of providing ukraine with more vital ground-based air defense systems and interceptor missiles. europe promises to increase aid, in particular, the minister of defense of germany announced that this year his country will train 10,000 ukrainian soldiers and provide 80 leopard-1 tanks. 5, as well as

armored vehicles, artillery systems, cheetahs and additional irst air defense systems. france , which recently headed the artillery coalition, provided ukraine with two additional ltu rocket launchers, which are an analogue of the american m-270 mlrs, and great britain, according to the german press, offered that germany transfer its long-range taurus missiles to it, and london in return will send additional ones to ukraine. long-range storm shadow missiles, however, europe will not be able to completely replace the united states in terms of military support for ukraine, at least not yet. that's why all attention is focused now to the congress, where republicans and democrats are looking for a compromise on the migration reform, to which the issue of aid to ukraine has been tied. according to the american press, the parties are close to an agreement, but donald trump is trying to prevent it. after two decisive victories in the primaries of internal party elections. he urged house speaker

michael johnson to say no to any deal that did not contain everything needed to stem the flow of migrants. i think. that the border is a very important issue for donald trump, and that the fact that he is asking senators, republicans, and congressmen not to address this issue in order to blame it on president biden is truly appalling. a presidential candidate should help solve the problem, not talk. hey, don't touch her, let me take credit for solving her later. and while the aid package to ukraine continues to be a hostage of the internal political struggle in the united states,... the armed forces of ukraine are looking for new ways to protect themselves from russian attacks. during the last two massive shellings on the 13th and 23rd in january, the air force actively used the systems of rep. the command reported that, probably, thanks to this, some of the missiles that were not shot down did not reach their targets.

results of the 18th ramstein this week, for the first time in 2024, the contact group on the defense of ukraine met. the allies promised to continue providing ukraine's armed forces with long-range weapons and to strengthen the air defense system. the meeting also discussed long-term aid, the art coalition and increasing the production of drones, missiles and ammunition. partners are already working on modernization western missiles under existing soviet-style launchers and anti-aircraft systems. representatives of several countries talked about large-scale aid packages, and the ministry of defense of ukraine also announced it. that this year our state will receive weapons that it did not have until now. in the coming year, ukraine will receive many important types of weapons, including those that we will not talk about until we have them, but those that are

extremely necessary for ukraine in order for us to effectively hit the enemy, as on the front line , and behind the line of scrimmage, were impressive and destroy logistic nodes and weakened in all possible ways. this week, the world was shaken by the news of the crash of an il-76 military transport plane near belgorod, russia. the russians directly accused ukraine of shooting down the aircraft . kremlin propagandists claim that there were ukrainian prisoners of war on board who were being taken for exchange. a number of ukrainian media, citing their own sources, initially wrote that... the plane was shot down from the isu, but then these texts were deleted. the information was picked up by the world-famous media, which referred to russian statements about 65 ukrainians killed without any verification. details of the plane crash and ukraine's reaction are below. while unverified

versions of the disaster were circulating in the media, the ukrainian side was in no hurry to comment. in the evening , the general staff made a statement, which he did not remember. litak, however, noted that the armed forces will continue to destroy everything that terrorizes ukraine, particularly from the side of belgorod. but the president already spoke in his traditional address. volodymyr zelenskyy noted that the russians are playing with lives ukrainian prisoners and stressed that ukraine will insist on an international investigation of the situation. it is necessary to establish all the clear facts as far as possible. given that the plane crash... happened on russian territory beyond our control. facts are the key word now. heard the chief of staff and the general staff for the use of air forces. gur is engaged in finding out the fate of all prisoners. the security service of ukraine is investigating all the circumstances. i instructed the minister

of foreign affairs of ukraine to inform partners regarding available data in ukraine. our state will insist on an international investigation. however, the reasons for the plane crash. officially unknown. andrii yusov, a representative of the main intelligence department, explained that the belgorod region of the russian federation is actually in a state of hostilities. and this territory today stands next to moscow and crimea. according to the saturation of russian means of anti-aircraft, anti-missile defense and anti-aircraft missile systems. we have already seen how the russians shot down their planes. also, on this day, both russia and ukraine are on this territory used without'. ukrainian reconnaissance drones were working there over belgorod, the russians launched a drone-committee, and with the report of the russian sources themselves, information is recorded about the work of air defense against, supposedly, ukrainian drones, what they themselves reported,

what they informed about. according to the central intelligence agency, important russian officials were supposed to board the plane, but before the flight the federal security service of the russian federation forbade it. them to get on board, the ukrainian intelligence learned about it later plane crash, only five bodies were taken from the crash site to the nearest morgue, propagandists also distributed the list of ukraine. military personnel who were supposedly on board. at the coordination headquarters for the treatment of prisoners of war, they met with relatives of the ukrainian military and confirmed that on january 24 they planned to return to ukraine 65 servicemen from the list published by the russian public. at the same time , head gurbudanov said that there is currently no reliable and comprehensive information about who could actually be on board il-70 aircraft. it is important that russia did not inform about the routes of transportation of the ukrainian military and did not request

safe airspace in this area. to imagine that the moscow zagardniki put only three bodyguards on board, where there are 65 ukrainian male defenders, well, that would be very, very naive on our part. therefore, all this needs the maximum possible full access, and this can only be done in the format of an international investigation. it is clear that ukraine and russia will not agree with each other now to trust means that we involve third parties, and ukraine is ready for this and is as open as possible to conduct such an investigation. as for the crew of the aircraft, the journalists of the radio liberty scheme project identified six members of the aircraft crew. the death of at least three of them was confirmed by their relatives. the crew belonged to the 117th military transport aviation regiment stationed in orenburg. according to open data, this regiment is engaged in the maintenance of military vehicles carrying

special cargo for material provision of the russian army, from the investigation of journalists of radio liberty schemes. russia did not delay, and immediately on wednesday invited to hold an urgent meeting of the un security council regarding the involvement of ukraine in the alleged downing of the plane with its citizens. france, which chairs the security council, rejected the request and assigned the meeting to us. next day at the time, the organization said that at the moment they could not establish whether the il-76 plane was transporting ukrainian prisoners of war, because the kremlin does not allow either its rescuers or international experts to the site of the plane crash investigators putin's press secretary believes that an international investigation is needed when it comes to studying the crimes not of russia, but of ukraine. the russian authorities have not yet provided any logical explanation as to why ukraine was shot down. the plane in which its citizens were allegedly present.

russia's hasty convening of a security council meeting fits into a pattern we are already familiar with. moscow has repeatedly tried to shift the responsibility for the tragedies of this senseless war onto others, as if it were the victim and not the aggressor. while we we are working on gathering facts and establishing what happened, it is worth emphasizing once again that the kremlin bears full responsibility. responsibility for starting and continuing this war. servicemen of the russian armed forces are also responsible for war crimes and other atrocities they have committed. meanwhile, ukraine, for its part, is already conducting an investigation. it is also awaiting a response from the international committee of the red cross, whether russia reported on the transportation of prisoners in the il-76 plane. at the same time, the security service of ukraine opened criminal proceedings. qualified as a violation of the laws and customs of war, for his part, putin blamed

ukraine for the disaster and assured that he instructed the russian investigative committee to make public the details of the disaster as much as possible, and while russia blocks access to the crash site and hides the circumstances of the plane crash, the objective results of the investigation cannot to be known and to the events at the front this week. exhausting battles continue on kupinsky. bakhmut, avdiiv and marin directions. daily assaults near kupyansk of russian troops near senkivka, the armed forces temporarily withdrew from the village of krokhmalne, which is near kupyansk. the ukrainians are actively defending themselves before going on the offensive . in the direction of bakhmut, the aggressor is continuously storming our positions in the north and west of the city for a counterattack. and also tries to restore lost positions near klishchiivka and kordyumivka. are there battles around maryanka and novomykhaivka? the enemy does not retreat from avdiivka either, attacking it

from different directions. the enemy managed to penetrate our defense just around the tsarska complex hunting there, the enemy used military tricks, that is, they cleared the tunnel for a month, and then followed the positions of our soldiers. the enemy managed to get to the rear of our troops, it was quite unexpected, and it just affected the holding of the position in the tsarist camp. a wartime designer, this is what fpv drone has become for a number of ukrainians who, regardless of age and education , assemble drones right at home. they are a relatively cheap alternative to expensive shells. these seven-inch fpvs have been around for two months made by volunteers in poltava oblast. 15 pieces are made per day. our iryna

skrypacheva learned how the uav workshop was created. search for specialists to manufacture the first drones, says project coordinator oleksandr. they found a technological map, bought all the necessary equipment on the advice of the military. currently, the team employs eight masters: professional engineers, electricians, ultralight aviation pilots. their history is completely voluntary, every day they are looking for investments, donate to institutions and enterprises, manufacture two types of drones: kamikaze drone and more powerful based on a ten-inch frame. drone bomber drone is ready to use, you could just hear the sounds, this drone does not have any speaker to make sound. the starting current of the motors and the starting force of the motors creates this vibration because one motor produces 48,00 revolutions per minute, so its maximum speed is over 150 km

per hour. on such a device, the pilot makes up to 30 sorties per day. the cost of one drone is uah 13,500. volunteers say that by collecting them themselves, they save almost a third of the funds. parts are purchased on foreign sites, the production of drones was established in a small office space. each of the boys is responsible for a specific stage of work. my task is to assemble the frames and put on the engine, so that the frame holds well, it must be pulled well, because the chinese ones that go, the bolts are poorly tightened, and the guys make a couple of you. and it simply crumbles along the way, so we clamp it here very well, center it and send it to soldering. the youngest, 15-year-old konstantin, solders parts, i solder the motors, and other relays, cameras, etc., and my task is to solder, assemble

the boards to the end and send them to the final assembly. in general, the drone contains fifty parts. it has a video antenna, a radio antenna, and a camera , engines, a flight controller, a printed circuit board that controls the overall control, and a video card that transmits direct video from the antenna on the pilot’s helmet, and, by the way, this drone has additionally been equipped with a reset system , recently the military sent the volunteers a video of how their drone was destroyed enemy thermal imaging... video surveillance complex worth up to 150 thousand dollars. in less than 3 months of work , the volunteers collected 250 drones. iryna skrypacheva and mykyta litskevich for espresso tv channel from poltava region. international holocaust remembrance day commemorates all jews and roma persecuted by nazi germany during world

look at the news. good health, ladies and gentlemen, my name is mykola veresen. sharp presentation of facts and competent opinions. and in america they also say, let's have better roads , we will have even better ones. a special look at the events in ukraine, there will be some katsaps on the border of kyiv. beyond its limits, what a world dreams of, mr. norman, can we imagine it? all this in an informational marathon with mykola veresnem, on saturday 17:10, sunday 18:15 at espresso. congratulations. thursday morning brought yet another troubling news to russia. on wednesday night , a fire broke out in the russian city of tuapse, krasnodar territory. a large-scale fire at an oil refinery. the oil base was attacked by drones, public sources in the sbu reported. according to sources, this

plant supplies fuel to russian troops. as a result of the fire at the facility , the installation of the primary processing of petroleum products was damaged. and in principle, this is exactly what this fire is this is not the first fire at such an oil refinery, because on january 21 such explosions rang out in usluga port. leningrad region of russia, then the navatek oil terminal caught fire. thus, unknown drones are helping the world to make sanctions on the export of energy resources from the russian federation finally work. and this really scares the kremlin. what are all the persistent efforts of our defense forces to destroy the russian military infrastructure in the depths of the territory of the russian federation. the russian federation is even more frightened by the prospect that ukraine's allies will finally hear and help in this important matter. and that's why... the russian federation is now conducting a global hybrid attack to prevent ukrainian defense forces from attacking russia's deep rear and destroying russia's war-fighting capabilities. in the last edition

, we already talked about two provocations that russian propagandists organized for this purpose: one is the deliberate shelling by russian troops of the bazar in donetsk, in donetsk on january 21 of this year, the other is the lies of the russians, as if during an attack on civilian houses in kharkiv on january 16. as if they destroyed the base of the french military, and here we have the continuation of these efforts of russian propagandists. on wednesday, january 24 , the ministry of defense of the russian federation reported that at 11:15 moscow time , an il-76 aircraft of the russian military transport aircraft was shot down in the belgorod area, and this is currently the only thing that can be considered a fait accompli: an aircraft that usually transports cargo for the russian military near belgorod really fell... fell somewhere around this time, because everything else that the russian ministry of defense and russian propagandists say about it is either an outright lie, or maybe to be a pre-planned russian

special operation, especially telling how the russians declared everyone on board dead even before any investigators reached the wreckage of the plane, while they say that this wreckage was scattered there for 5 km, well, for comparison, look at how after the fall the plane was fine for a few days... they could not say at all what was really happening, whether everyone died, and then the very reason that it was impossible to say about it, and it was presented that the wreckage was scattered for several kilometers, it seems that everything was still known here to how this plane reached the ground, in fact, well, it is not entirely clear how this plane flew, russian propaganda says that it flew to belgorod and was shot down on approach, at the same time there is information that this plane... flew from belgorod somewhere in the depths of russia in the direction of the ukrainian border, and finally it is not clear whether there was anyone else in the plane besides the actual

crew, it is about six people there, this crew, russian propagandists filmed at the place of the crash with cameras already a couple of hours after the plane crashed , but even on the evening news everyone showed these general shots, where it is not visible that there were many people on the plane. also , i will tell you, the speed with which the russians began to release the agreed version in the event hall is very interesting. i would like to remind you once again that they reported that everyone died, that 65 died, before the investigators arrived at the scene. the message of the ministry of defense about the fall of the plane appeared literally 20 minutes after the event, and it immediately went to all the talents, and just compare it with how the ministry reported. defense of knocking down of all the other planes that fell in one way or another on russia, they either didn’t talk about it at all, or they talked about it there after a few days,

and so they still haven’t... on board the destroyed plane were 65 prisoners of the armed forces, who were taken to exchange, six crew members, escorts. a commission of the air and space forces of the russian federation flew to the crash site of the il-76 in the belgorod region to determine the causes of the disaster. the ill-76 transport plane

crashed in the belgorod region. when performing a scheduled flight. so, literally an hour has passed, and they are talking about deeply verified data in situations where in other situations they are there after a couple of hours, at least they remembered something there, or they did not remember it at all. the plane fell shortly after 11 a.m. local time, and telegram channels published it literally in 20 minutes. video, as well as information that there were ukrainian prisoners on board, within half an hour all of solov'ov, rt, skabeeva, with reference to the ministry of defense, all this information was already published in these telegram channels, the differences between there are no messages, they all came out at almost the same time, there is a difference of 5 minutes, that is, everyone got this impression at one moment this information, at one moment

that... and i wonder what it looks like, what it looks like , they've already covered it on the evening news, and i think it's worth a listen because it really does sound like it. this kind of action already took place in 2022, when we liberated mariupol and took out the representatives of this national azov, these terrorists, they were taken out, it was known, the place of deployment, where the red the cross, where if they were observed , what happened to them, well, that is, according to this data, then the high-precision seymers system went off, and most of the fighters who were waiting for trial, and maybe an exchange, died as a result of this strike, it is if usual practice , he told about the known, when even the investigative team had not yet arrived there, there is a proposal to find out which missiles and launchers

were used, let's... prepare an appeal to the congress of the united states of america and the bundestag of germany, so that the deputies finally realized who they are funding who is being helped by the nazi regime, fed by biden, scholz, and other politicians, they should realize their responsibility, and parliamentarians should impeach them. let's say about this and make our position known to the national parliaments. and right there, that is, once again, only an hour had passed after the plane crash, the chairman of the state duma defense committee, kartopolo , told a lot of details, and i remind you, once again, even at the moment when they are telling that it is necessary to understand what there with rockets, no, the potato farmer already knows everything, the second was flying behind him.
