east in the arctic this year. watch the conversation after 10:30 minutes. powerful explosions occurred in the morning and this night in ukraine. messages came from several regions of the country at once. in kiev, residents heard a strong roar. in some areas the water supply was cut off. authorities said numerous pieces of debris fell. earlier, noises were heard in odessa and chernomorsk, reporting the operation of air defense systems. the air raid alert has been announced several times over the past period. the siren was heard in nine regions of the country. meanwhile, in the south donetsk direction special operations, tanks of the thirty-sixth army in the eastern group of forces are making their way to the infantry in the area of ​​​​the settlements of urozhaynaya and novonetsk. the equipment is reliably reinforced with dynamic protection, which has saved crews more than once. our tankers, one after another

, are destroying the ukrainian armed forces' defensive positions, not allowing the enemy to relax. our correspondent, eduard ponigov, was convinced of this. this tank of the vostok group in the yuzhalets direction was hit by enemy artillery, but dynamic protection installed along the perimeter of the body did an excellent job, saved the equipment from serious damage, and most importantly, the crew, safe and sound, continues to carry out tasks for... special operations, now its main task is the crew of this tank at the front, first to open the support guards of the ukrainian armed forces on the border of the dpr and zaporozhye, the combat vehicle takes position is dealt another blow. the crew understands

each other perfectly, the shell hits the target and the tank quickly leaves the battlefield, you can’t stay in sight for long, drones fly everywhere and immediately report danger all the artillery, show me your hand, wait, turn it a little in the other direction, you see there was an impact, here is the hole, here are the shots taken in august. this year, the consequences of a kamikaz drone attack on this tank caused an explosion to destroy the rear part, one of the crew members was wounded in the arm, fortunately not serious, the equipment was quickly patched up and is back in service. after that, as they say, we learn from our mistakes and began to strengthen the rear part of the tower. we made an elongated visor, welded a metal plate, they additionally installed dynamic protection on it, and here they also strengthened everything as a plus. a

t-72 mechanic with the call sign baun worked on an excavator in civilian life, and then operated a crane at a construction site. he himself made a deliberate decision to sign the contract. his wife and four children are waiting for him at home; his fifth son was born in october. what goals are you working on, here’s the last one, tell me, the last one, that we worked on the infantry for the last time, we worked on closed fires, we got into a firing position, i, as usual, i completed my task, i brought people, took it away, the guys worked. the tank commander chose the call sign khata, translated as sburyatsk. toastmaster of weddings, now he works in one of the hottest sectors of the front. at the front, the situation, so to speak, has already become calm, has calmed down, it is felt that the enemy is beginning to choke, is experiencing a shortage of ammunition, it is felt that we are already going on the offensive, as we are rolling out more and more often, and are not giving the enemy anything.

zelensky’s trip to washington turned out to be empty, as stated by russian ambassador to the united states anatoly antonov. according to him, the head the kiev regime failed to convince the american authorities that ukraine is more important than the security of the united states.

hope we are going to stay by your side. a year and a half ago, a guest in an evergreen sweater with a small trident might even have joked something in response, but now there is a mourning miracle at zelensky. buried in the papers, like a diligent student taking an english test to an elderly teacher, he thanks the examiner through the words of the examiner. thank you very much mr. president, journalists, i'm really glad to be here at the white house today to share some very important messages. thank you for the invitation, and i would like to thank our american partners for their support. our forces are moving forward. we will successfully defeat russia in the black sea. about ukraine’s victory in the black sea was clearly unnecessary, but it was also impossible to encourage someone who had prepared so diligently. biden, of course, didn’t have 60 billion in stone; he helped as much as he could. thank

you and before the press leaves, hey, hey, hey, shut up for a second. okay, i need to say one more thing. i just signed another one agreement to cut defense department spending. for 200 million dollars for ukraine, a modest tranche, of course, will not make a difference, but the american president himself understands this. biden’s nervous smile is understandable, because the two-hundred-million dollar package, which included ammunition for khaimars, anti-radar missiles and shells for howitzers, is probably one of the last, the pentagon’s moneybox is almost empty, the state department says. unless the us congress acts to provide additional funding, this will be one of the last aid packages in security sphere, which we can provide to ukraine. in 3 days , american legislators have their christmas break, but there has been no compromise on migration issues. despite

the fact that we reached an agreement to develop a project, get it through the senate, get it through the house of representatives before christmas is almost impossible. that doesn't mean it's unimportant. we emphasized the importance. us border, but i want to remind everyone of the importance of ukraine. they entered the press conference as strangers, biden looking to the side, and zelensky pool. when it came to questions, biden did not immediately figure out who needed to answer. we will ask you two questions, i will ask the first, i will ask, i wanted to say that i will answer the questions of the one who asks me first. however, there was no improvisation; the us president read all the answers from the sheet, look. ukrainian journalists tried tomorrow, which completely baffled the head of the white house. ukraine will be part of nato, this is not negotiable, but we already said in vilnius that ukraine will join nato only when everything the allies will agree with this. the anniversary

nato summit in washington next year, who will represent ukraine at it, is also a question. the last images from the press conference came with a hint: biden and zelensky are leaving, close-ups. ermak suddenly appears on the broadcast. whether biden and zelensky will outlast each other is also a question. while the white house hosted the ukrainian delegation to the house rules committee, republicans voted for a resolution that would authorize further impeachment investigation current president of the united states. the general vote in congress is today. valentin bogdanov, ivan udkin and aleftina sorokina, news from new york. meanwhile , the consequences of bad weather are being eliminated in the lugansk people's republic. freezing rain and snow caused widespread damage to power lines. several districts were left without electricity, including krasnodonsky. from there is a report by irina shmyrina. more than 100 accidents on

the fact that today is the next 557th plenary. the meeting, it will, of course, also begin with a ceremonial part, with the russian anthem, definitely with congratulations from the speaker of the upper house of parliament, valentin letvienko, it will be interesting to hear what she will say to her colleagues today, and then work on the agenda will really begin , perhaps the most important thing and the event is the parliamentary hour, today at exactly 11 :00, here on bolshaya dmitrovka they are waiting for... foreign minister sergei lavrov, he will make a report, talk about russia’s policy on the external contour, and the senators will, of course, have the opportunity to ask questions to the minister questions, after which work will continue on the agenda, on current bills that have arrived here in the upper house of parliament, but while we are still seeing

the ceremonial part, at about 9:30 speaker valentina matvienko will appear here, she is watching the exhibition, after which there will be more a solemn ceremony of canceling stamps dedicated to the thirtieth anniversary of the upper house of the russian parliament, but it must be said that these days, of course, the entire russian parliamentarism is celebrating its anniversary, a little less than 3 centuries, we know that december 12 was not only was the constitution chosen and approved, the new russia, but for the first time the russian parliament was elected, voting... many of its responsibilities, here, of course, now they not only pass, consider laws, but make their proposals, work on government programs, senators

are responsible for contacts with the government, for contacts with the leaders of russian regions, so the program and work of the senate is very, very extensive, but what will happen here today during the day, we will see and will definitely show on the russia-24 tv channel. sasha. thank you, our correspondent natalya solovyova was in direct communication from the federation council. it’s already december 13th on the calendar and russia-24 begins to sum up the results of the year. traditionally, my colleagues and i interview government members, heads of large companies and associations. the first to visit our on-site studio was deputy prime minister and presidential plenipotentiary envoy to the far eastern federal district yuri trutnev. now i will tell you about some of his statements. we discussed the economy and social sphere in the far east and... in the arctic zone. let's start with investment projects in the far eastern federal district. now there are more than 3,500 of them, and they have already made investments worth almost 4 trillion rubles. true, the twenty-third was not the

easiest year for the entire region. a number of companies terminated already concluded contracts and refused to supply some equipment. for many projects we simply had to change technologies, we had to learn how to do something with... among the most famous instruments operating in the region are perhaps the far eastern and arctic hectares. according to the latest data, 97 and more than 600 have already concluded contracts accordingly

in the far east, in my opinion , it is about 30 percent higher than the all-russian growth statistics, so we are simultaneously trying to build more housing and provide people with the opportunity to buy it. among the issues that were discussed with yuri drutnev was the development of the northern sea route, this is how the route is going by the year 1930, with plans to transport 80 million tons of cargo along it. the deputy prime minister spoke about the results. in the twenty-third year there will be a record volume of traffic, we today believe that it will be

36.6 million tons, this is more than planned, we will try to cope with these plans, watch the full version of the interview with yuri trutnev today on russia-24 after 10:30 moscow time. and let's move on to other topics. the largest telecom operator in ukraine was subjected to a hacker attack, resulting in the destruction of many systems. maria filippova has all the details, she will join me. masha, good morning, tell us how this attack affected people. sasha, hello, many are left without the internet and cannot even withdraw money from atms. and about this right now. a large-scale cyber attack disabled terminals and atms in ukraine. the it collapse occurred at the country's largest operator. kyivstar communications, its management announced the partial destruction of the company’s network infrastructure, on which the provision of residents with the internet, the operation of some atms, large financial institutions,

privatbank and the management of street lighting depend. privatbank even recommended that clients stock up on cash until the system was operational. fully mobile affected the connection that was established by this operator amazed the bank. accordingly, a large number, at least six banks , i looked, which came under the influence, in this case they are connected to the telecom operator, as you already said, this is a payment system, this is a sim card, this is a huge number of subscribers who are connected to it . the kyivstar network covers all regions; among its subscribers, almost 24 million use mobile internet and more than a million have high-speed internet access. the problem quickly became widespread. not in lviv street lights could be turned off. residents of different regions complained about problems with calling a taxi and roaming being disabled. the hacker attack brought not only inconvenience, but also losses.

the network is partially destroyed and... everything will depend on the amount of time, how long such a problem will last. a global accident, of course, incapacitates a fairly large number of the population. according to ukrainian media reports , searches were carried out at the central office of the affected telecom operator. the kyivstar press service stated that company representatives themselves appealed to law enforcement for help, emphasizing that the personal data of subscribers was not compromised. losses resulting from the shutdown of many systems will complicate the already difficult situation of the ukrainian economy. moreover, further assistance from the united states is in doubt. zelensky is again begging for money in washington. at the same time, he declares

that he wants to work faster with frozen food. russian assets, which by the way is more than $300 billion. directly from the states, zelensky expects to receive 61 billion. experts, however, are confident that if the money if they give it anyway, it will be half as much. it is realistic to expect a package of perhaps 20-30 billion dollars, it will be a medium -sized package, in fact it is a huge amount, but by the standards of those. the support measures for ukraine that have already been provided are a small package, but of medium size. as for kyivstar, the security service of ukraine began criminal proceedings under eight articles, including treason and sabotage. foreign intelligence agencies are suspected of attacking telecom operators. well, which ones exactly, sasha? i guess guess it won't be difficult. thank you, mash, it was maria filipova, with a story about the consequences of a major hacker attack on the ukrainian telecom kiev.

star. and we move on to other international topics. the bulgarian authorities have begun dismantling the monument to the soviet army in sofia. the soldiers sawed off the hand holding the machine gun. now the sculpture is covered with scaffolding and there are dozens of guards around. let me remind you that the monument was erected in the center of sofia in 54, as a sign of gratitude to the liberator of the soviet army. now they plan to divide the sculpture into parts and supposedly send it for restoration. foreign ministry spokeswoman maria zakharova said moscow is considering it. these actions are considered a hostile step. bulgarian authorities claim that the reason for the dismantling is the poor condition of the bronze from which the monument was cast. the polish sejm supported the government of the new prime minister donald tusk. the majority of deputies spoke in favor of a vote of confidence in the new prime minister. they wanted to postpone the vote due to a major scandal. right during the discussion, one of the parliamentarians rushed into the corridor, grabbed a fire extinguisher and put it out

hanukkah candles, which... were installed in the sejm, he accompanied his actions with anti-semitic slogans. after this , the deputy was kicked out of the building and fined. the un general assembly adopted a resolution calling for a truce in gaza. its authors were egypt and mauritania. according to the document, it is necessary to release the hostages in accordance with international law, especially in relation to the civilian population. arab television channels , meanwhile, are talking about an increase in the number of victims. according to their information, since the beginning of the conflict in the sector. gas killed at least 18,000 palestinians, the enclave's ministry of health was informed of the assault on one of the hospitals. the department claims that there is no water or electricity in hospitals, and medical staff are being arrested en masse. the israeli military has already detained 70 hospital workers. earlier, volst journal reported on the start of an operation to flood underground tunnels in the gas sector; water is being pumped there from the mediterranean sea. according to journalists, this step is aimed at destroying

the hamas infrastructure. let's break through for a while, who are you, wandering musicians, we don't have a bright leader, a legendary musical quartet and irresistible troubodour, this is my group, hello, understood, where have you been before, why have i never seen you? i fell in love with the princess, but the king interferes with our love, we can’t do without deception, i’m behind you with palaces, tempting arches, they will never replace freedom, the time is gone, call!
