bakhmut, donetsk region. the enemy does not stop the pressure on the bakhmut direction. ilya yevlash, the head of the press service of the khortytsia military group, reported this on radio svoboda. according to him, the defense forces, in turn, repulse enemy attacks, pull up their reserves and inflict fire damage on enemy assault groups. at the same time, significantly the number of shelling has decreased. it is probably due to bad weather - he said. over the past week, ukrainian defenders captured almost 2.5 dozen russian invaders, half of them in the past day in the zaporozhye region. this was announced by the commander of the tavria military group oleksandr ternavskyi. according to him, the enemy lost 449 soldiers and 27 units of military equipment last day. in particular, these are five tanks, 18 armored combat vehicles, two artillery systems. a car and a unit

of special equipment, also shot down 122 drones of different types. the murder of a 17-year-old ukrainian basketball player in germany was preceded by a dispute. the law enforcement officers reported the details. at a bus stop in the city of oberhausen , an argument broke out between two groups of young people, which turned into a fight. four young people were seriously injured. probably with a knife, the attackers fled the scene of the crime shortly after, 17-year-old ukrainian volodymyr yarmakov died in the hospital, there is no threat to artem kozachenko's life, two attackers were detained, according to the bilt publication, one of them is a german of turkish origin, the second - german-greek. the investigation into the circumstances and motives of the crime continues, german law enforcement officials said. the tragedy happened on the eve of another match. former people's deputy serhiy pashynskyi

and his business partner nabu were accused of causing losses to the state of almost uah 1 billion by the sap and sbu. in 2014 , the state confiscated almost 100,000 tons of oil products from oligarch serhii kurchenko. the fuel was transferred to a specialized state enterprise. most of the oil products were sold to a group of companies owned by a business partner ex-deputy then the fuel was sold at gas stations and network gas stations. the ministry of defense received only 1.5% of kurchenko's oil products. serhiy pashynskyi confirmed the searches in his apartment and noted that the basis for the investigative actions was a ten-year-old proceeding, which the russians succeeded in opening through their agents. two damaged missile launchers were delivered to the usa. system hymars

writes about it, a military video of the unloading of cars at the airport in harrisburg, pennsylvania , was published by the youtube channel. installations need to be repaired at the country's facilities manufacturer after loading other us army vehicles, the an-124 ruslan took off two hours after arriving. i note that this is the first publicly known confirmation of damage to these machines. in one of the cars, the front wheel is missing and the lower wheels are damaged. part, the other installation is damaged, probably from debris, the reason for this is unknown. and among the wreckage of the shakhet attack drone found in moldova near the border with ukraine, a warhead containing about 50 kg of explosives was found. according to the moldovan police, saperi found and gathered everyone fragments, and in the near future they will detonate the warship under safe conditions. as you know, fragments

of the drone were found the day before near the village of etulia in vulkanesh district. moldovan border guards believe that the wreckage may belong to one of the downed uavs. by the ukrainian military during the russian attack on odesa on the night of february 9-10. france and poland are united in their assessment of russia's aggression against ukraine, said polish prime minister donald tusk. today he is on an official visit to paris, where he met with french president emmanuel macron. also tusk said that both countries are ready to restore the so-called weimar. corner, a platform of political cooperation between germany, france and poland, which was created in 1991. we have known each other for many years and trust each other. we can always rely on each other. but it

is also because i feel, in these very difficult and demanding times, the position of france and poland, in all important issues, is much closer, both bilaterally and within the framework. eu, such as those related to the security and geopolitical situation of europe, in particular in in the context of russia's aggression against ukraine. polish farmers blocked the zosyn and dolgobychów checkpoints. in addition, the movement of trucks was again stopped at the crossing of the sheginy doctor, the state border service reported. protesters will pass three trucks per hour. cars, buses, humanitarian aid, as well. vehicles lighter than 3.5 tonnes in both directions will pass normally. two trucks per hour in both directions near dolgobychyv, one truck per hour at the checkpoint of the sheghini doctor. meanwhile, polish the police are investigating an incident that happened

the day before. farmers stopped three ukrainian trucks and dumped grain on the road. blocking is not checked. another goal is the cancellation of the green order, although this does not apply to ukrainian farmers, to a greater extent to farmers in poland and in general in europe, but the main thing is the blockade of uncontrolled imports from ukraine. for example, in the direction of the yagodin checkpoint, when it is fully functional, the border can be crossed by 1,200-1,400 freight vehicles, but in the past day, 145 crossed the border of cargo vehicles, five of which went to poland and 140 to ukraine,

the flow also decreased by 2.5 times, or the number of cargo vehicles that crossed the border in the direction of the ravarusk checkpoint, at least four people died... during a shooting at a greek shipping company near athens. greek media quoting the police write that an armed man, presumably a former employee of the company, entered the building and started shooting, as a result of which three people died, including the owner of the enterprise. then the body the attacker was found in another area, he probably shot himself in the head. the perpetrator was a 70-year-old citizen of egypt. there is evidence that he was fired from his position in this firm. the tower of the coal-fired power plant in saint-avold in france was demonstratively blown up. the station should soon switch to hydrogen production. in a matter of seconds, the tower with a height of about 120 m collapsed in front of

hundreds of spectators. about 200 people, including pyrotechnicians and police officers, organized the detonation. france undertook to finally abandon environmentally harmful fossil. fuel at the un climate change conference at the end of 2021. and in the kyiv region , a moose blew up on the stretch. the tragedy happened near makarov. representatives of the state consumer service asked for help for the injured elk. the animal was lying down and not moving. zookeepers urgently left for the place. however, they did not have time. the animal died. after the autopsy it was found that. the moose's front limb was critically damaged, no other injuries were found, so the animal probably died as a result of the explosion on the stretch, which could have been left by the occupiers during the fighting in the kyiv region. ukrainian

high jumper yaroslava maguchyk won gold at the melrose games world athletics tournament in new york. winning height. she took 2 meters each on the third attempt, which is a record for this tournament. such was the news at that time, we will see you at 5:00 p.m., and literally in a moment my colleagues marta oliyarnyk and antin borkovskii will continue the broadcast. thank you to iryna koval, thank you to the news editor, well, let's analyze now the most important events of this day, and perhaps not even only this day, we will now analyze the situation in the united states. america seems to have started a positive process, there are certain positive signs, but

the final decision regarding the allocation of macro-financial assistance to us is unfortunately still very, very far away, and surprised not only us, but also our european partners , the former president of the united states, one of the flagships of the current presidential race, donald trump. about this and other things, oleksandr kraev, expert of the foreign policy council, ukrainian prism. glory to ukraine, mr. oleksandr. glory to heroes. well , so to speak, we are cautiously assessing the situation now in the intra-american political chamber as a warming, yes, that is, the ukrainian spring in mid-february is still a long way off, but there are certain dry spells, in your opinion, whether it will be possible to break the republicans and, in general, how far the americans are are making progress in finally concluding positively the issue of allocation to us macro'. input, and the promotion is quite significant, it is positive, and by the way, even on

at the narrative level, we see certain changes. if we speak purely from a bureaucratic point of view, then we have literally three or four votes left before we allocate macro-financial and security assistance to ukraine, that is , we are waiting literally this tuesday for a vote in the senate, which must then pass the baton to the house of representatives. in the house of representatives. our bailout package has to go through all the same procedures, that is, to be voted on in order to be brought up for consideration, and then to be voted on on the merits, although usually the house of representatives can reduce it all to a vote already on the merits, or to a vote on the end of the debate and then on the bill itself. of course, there is some concern that mike johnson and the trumpists in the house of representatives will begin to block it again and begin to bargain again with both the biden administration and the senate for this, to get more for themselves. concession, however, if in previous cases we saw that speaker mike johnson, his entourage, well

, reacted quite sharply to each vote, to each new proposal, now we see that there are almost no comments from them, we see that all the requests they made regarding this package were satisfied, i.e. a certain vision emerged as to how it will be used, an inspection went to kyiv to check how ukraine uses the aid provided, there were concessions on... of the border and on the financing of the border, and on the bills regarding the border, that is , so far it looks like we have a chance to break the house of representatives, and besides, the circumstances are such that the house must resolve this issue by the end of february, otherwise they risk be fined again upon acceptance federal budget, and this is already threatening america with serious economic consequences. we understand, mr. oleksandr, but on the other hand , we also understand that these non-republicans who... directly listen to trump, they will do everything possible to prevent this aid from being approved in one way or another,

and also the latest statements of trump himself raise a huge question, because it is not even about the support of our country, it is about the support of nato allies, because , let me remind you, trump said at the weekend that that he believes that the countries, allies of nato, should pay their bills, he spoke about this even before, when he was the president and in... actually , now such statements are dangerous, they are, well, obviously, aimed at making russia understand , that putin can count on continuing his aggression not only towards ukraine, but also towards other countries, and the times writes that even after this statement by trump, the meeting was closed, such a private dinner where the last trump's scandalous statements were european political leaders, high-ranking. diplomats, and they are actually quite puzzled by this statement and fear

that if the united states cannot guarantee article five on mutual defense, then there are great fears that in the event of any potential aggression europe will be vulnerable to the russian federation, but we understand that russia will have support from its allies, this is china, this is north korea, this is iran, so a big... geopolitical scandal is brewing, how would you describe it? trump is still trump that is, unfortunately, we still see from him the same harsh, unpredictable, sometimes just... sarcastic rhetoric that he always used, just with the way the election campaign heats up, how international relations, international crises heat up, and his own rhetoric also heats up trump , that is, well, this, you know, this is a classic information problem, that when you want to be hype, when you want to be provocative, you constantly have to raise the degree of your provocation, well, in the case of trump, raise

the degree of your own mania, so unfortunately, we saw such a real message that he can put ... nato countries under attack by russia, this is a continuation of his rhetoric for another 17-18 years, when he constantly said that nato countries, european countries, should increase defense spending, they should invest more in their own defense, even then he threatened that america would not be able to protect them, that is, then the wording was that america would not be able to help, would not be able to protect, now we see the same narrative presented completely differently, that america supposedly will tell russia yes if it wants to... attack, and america, they say, will not prevent putin from doing what he wants. therefore, it is important for us to highlight two narratives here: well, firstly, trump did not deviate from his line that europe should defend itself first, and the states should only help. therefore, this narrative is preserved in him. but the second thing to note here is that he is so calmly talking about the fact that he is ready to let

putin do it, it indicates that he is in principle determined that he will lead. these are matters with russia in the first place, that the question of deterring russian aggression simply does not arise, there is a question of how to negotiate safer conditions for the states themselves, that is, the states are not ready, if trump comes to the presidency, the states will not be ready to oppose the russian threat , and it's a much more disturbing message than just his radical statements. yes, i agree with you, mr. alexander, the message is disturbing, but knowing trump and remembering very well... or his presidential term, i would like just to remind our tv viewers that donald trump forced the germans, not only some abstract europeans, but specifically the germans to pay their bills, we understand that it is stipulated that at least 3% of gdp should be allocated to support the armed needs of one or another nato member state, and how it turned out that only

three states complied with certain financial obligations. from this review , we understand that trump at that time, well, he was very happy that he managed to promote the same germans to fulfill certain financial obligations. i'm not stopping here trump's lawyer, yes, but on the other hand , well, europe should also more actively perceive what is called the russian threat, that is , rethink what is called defense, well, in general, what concerns. preparations for possible russian aggression and nato states, we understand who is being talked about first of all, we are talking about the baltic states and possibly poland, here it is, and here trump, accordingly, well, raised the stakes even higher, the key story, in your opinion, how if the europeans react now, they will be ready to pay and allocate more

to support not only their own interests, but also to support, for example, the same... ukraine? well, actually, the crisis that is still present in the house of representatives is the crisis that the americans are not ready to give us the support we need in arms, the support we need in money. we can see that it is already provoking, but in a positive way it is provoking europeans to spend more. that is, this is where we got the interest of the germans in almost doubling the money for ukraine for 24 years. this is where we got the great interest of the french to invest more actively in ukrainian about'. the same about northern europe, the same about central europe and the baltic countries, we see that the active part of the eurozone, it really started to do more, but not because trump started threatening it, but because they just saw that the u.s. congress is unable to quickly pass the necessary amount of money, the necessary decisions, and so we saw that europe started to come together, they really

heard what the biden white house told them, because biden made it very clear that we basically... ukraine with all that it is, but it is a congress that can't do its job, and after that the europeans really started to invest more, i mean, we're not saying that trump, calling on the europeans to invest more, is saying seditious things, these are absolutely correct things, but two big buts, first of all , as trump is doing, that is, in the period of the greatest threat of a divided west, he is trying to divide the west even more, and secondly, the europeans are already starting to do it anyway, they are already ready to really do... more than they did before that, well, that is, could we to imagine, let's say, in march 22, that the same olaf scholz, who constantly called putin and tried to save his face, would now be ready to single out ukraine. such budgets and such a number of weapons as germany gives, let me remind you, germany is in second place in terms of the number of weapons that are provided to ukraine, partner countries, that is, trump, in

principle, does not always say bad things, but how he says it, when he says it, this is a big problem, and plus, the europeans are already doing it, and that's why we have to remind them once again that they are so bad, well, again, in a period of such a crisis not quite expedient, mr. oleksandr, look, the same is being seriously discussed now. politicians and in general the possible victory of donald trump in the elections, because we understand that the primaries are from the republican party, he has a great chance to win, and he can actually win the elections themselves. if we talk about the change of the political, yes chessboard, conditionally in the united states, we understand that this chessboard is beginning to change in europe, because there is a certain kind of orban, this is such a collective orban, i would say, which... will also be pulled under this policy, and in fact, is it possible to even roughly predict what the situation will be in the event that trump wins and what

europe's policy will be in such a case? we can immediately say that for at least the first half of the year, trump will definitely not be involved in foreign policy, it is not even that he will start to change anything in a negative direction, it will not be a priority for him in principle for many reasons, first of all for himself. his voter does not vote because of nato, not because of ukraine, not because of china, his voter votes for him because of low taxes, because border protection, through the fight against, as he calls it, the left-wing culture, through a conservative position in domestic politics, that is, this is what is popular with him, this is what he will do in the first place, secondly, he clearly has a desire to settle his political accounts, he said a lot that he wants to reformat the supreme court, he wants to transfer it. the ministry of justice is literally controlled by hand, he wants to review the freedom of the press in america, he wants to imprison biden sr., biden jr., well , it’s not for nothing that he says on every broadcast that he

i don't mind being a dictator for one day, that is, for the first six months, if trump wins, the united states will be feverish, and will be feverish very seriously, because the entire state system of the united states will try , i'm sorry, to digest trump again, and therefore nato and ukraine, israel, taiwan will leave. in the long run, so this is the first thing we need to understand right now that trump's arrival in the white house is immediately a crisis, immediately unstable, immediately uncertain, from which it is not known how quickly the united states states will be able to withdraw. yes, we agree with you, and finally, mr. oleksandr , we would like to ask you about the prospect of receiving additional financial packages from the european union, the fact that the european macrofin has been allocated is extremely cool, but we are also aware that unpleasant things are possible. crisis, in particular from the united states, well, i say as it is, we hope, but we do not rule out the bad, additional money from europe, and the fact that they are ready, or rather,

have already accepted a package of 50 billion, is an absolute plus, or will be able to block it in the future, modify, it is from the negative side, or supplement, if we talk about the positive side, yes, it is possible, fortunately for us , hungary has very few means left by which it can... actively influence this package and as much as it can not negatively reduce or do something else with it, so from this side, relatively speaking, our backs are covered. if we are not talking about macro-financial aid, but specifically about military aid, then it is still simpler: we see that european states are ready to provide more on a bilateral level, that is, it is not bad depends on the decisions of nato, it does not really depend on the decision of the european union, this is our bilateral diplomacy, which in most cases we have a good working history. she and she was like that even before the full-scale invasion of russian troops, so just in contrast to the american direction, the european one so far inspires me personally a lot of optimism.

great, thank you thank you, oleksandr krayevo, expert of the ukrainian prism foreign policy council. this is how we had a difficult conversation, i would say, but it is also necessary weigh all pros and cons, risks and be ready for them. well, we are going further, we are going further in order to inform you about all the most important things. about stoltenberg's new statement of confrontation with russia for years , stoltenberg made such a statement, but we will talk more about this with viktor yagun after our break, which will last a few minutes, so stay with us. tired of heavy and bulky saws, then the strong saw from razpak tv is just for you, with it you can easily cut trees and bushes, it is so convenient to use it for... carpentry work - it an ideal tool for your home or garden, and the price is only from uah 1,499. a reliable battery is also included. call
