powerful explosions are reported on social networks by residents of odessa, lvov, ikonotop, sumy region. high-precision hits on targets were also recorded in cherkassy, ​​khmelnitsky, starokonstantinov and the ukrainian-controlled city of zaporozhye. in dnepropetrovsk , ground transport has been partially stopped. at least six explosions occurred in kharkov at night. an air raid alert has now been declared throughout the country. according to kiev telegram channels, attacks are being carried out from the air. russian drones, as well as strategic bombers, missile carriers tu-22 and 95 ms. ukrainian prime minister denis shmygel requested an emergency meeting with international donors in kiev in january. initially, the meeting was planned to be held in march, however, as bloomberg reports, kiev cannot wait, and financial times journalists, citing the minister of economy of ukraine, report: if kiev does not receive money from its western allies, the country may refuse payments. and salaries of civil servants

for military spending. with details from alek komarov. the european union , despite its unity, wants to get rid of the inconvenient opinion of hungary and still give money to ukraine. this was reported by bloomberg, citing sources. is it true, instead of the previously promised 50 and 20 billion euros, they are actually ready to give only eight. but even such assistance seriously hits the european pocket. therefore, as a representative of the german cabinet stated, europe approves of washington’s tranches to kiev. it's cheaper that way. the us government has allocated another package of military assistance worth $250 million. we welcome such steps in support of ukraine from the united states. in the future, we plan that the united states will continue to increase its tranches, but as i said, the chancellor assumes that the united states will continue to support ukraine. at the same time, the american military aid package worth $250 million was received coolly in kiev, according to the washington post. was considered too modest, and

the deputy of one of the chairmen of the verkhovna rada even said: such ridiculous money is only proof of problems with financial support. this is also evidenced by the letter from the prime minister of ukraine to an international donor in... communication, the politician asks for an emergency meeting in january, although it was originally planned for march. journalists emphasize that shmygal is almost in plain text writes: without sponsorship money, kiev will not last until march. at the same time , there is nothing to say about the successes of the ukrainian armed forces, which could motivate western friends. german journalist julian roebke, who previously actively advocated the military victory of ukraine, said: over the past year, not a single strategically important city or village has been occupied in the ssu. in this context , western military support looks increasingly absurd, the expert is sure. just one statement, weapons for the sake of peace, what kind of schizophrenia is it, it’s incredible that they have to using such narratives is a complete lack of democracy, our government is involved in a very dangerous game in ukraine, but they will not be able to break out

of this spiral on their own. it’s amazing how far they are ready to go on the issue of escalation, while falling into complete dependence on the united states, but even in the united states they are already giving back administration. stated that the scheme using frozen russian assets to help ukraine does not work, it requires the full consent of european countries, since it is there most of the capital is located, and some in europe, including germany, question the need for this apparently illegal decision. alek komarov, lead. the chairman of the spiritual administration spoke about the danger of the palestinian-israeli conflict on migrants in russia and the work of the defenders of the fatherland foundation in an interview with our channel. muslims of russia, chairman of the council of muftis of russia, sheikh ravil gainuddin. watch the interview after the short commercial. my business is small so that everyone can smell the new

year, a very difficult year, a special military operation continues, a conflict broke out in the middle east, real military operations with a huge number of casualties. how would you evaluate the results of 2023, what should you pay attention to? 2023 was a very difficult year for... our entire country, for the entire world community, here we can note many of our achievements, many of the programs that we were able to implement, but if we take it globally, we can certainly note the tragedy of the palestinian people who today is observed by all of us, the world

community, and this tragedy resonates in our hearts, especially among muslims, with bitter pain, we are doing everything possible for us muslims in order to ease the pain. losses of families, deaths of women and children, we see how thousands of women and children are dying in the gas territory, and tens of thousands of residential buildings are being destroyed, people are being evicted from their homes, from their... clans, they are told: liberate the territories, why is this being done .

we see today the united states of america are absolutely uninterested in stopping the bloodshed on the territory of gaza, just as they do not want to stop the bloodshed on the territory of ukraine. we see that the whole world today knows, the whole world today sees and evaluates how the destruction of the palestinian population is going on, how today they are trying to occupy the remaining enclaves in the west bank. and the territory of gaza, and this, apparently, uh, on the part of the united states

of america, is providing all opportunities for israel to seize the remaining lands, thereby expelling the palestinians, there are no people, no problem, but we, muslims of the russian federation and... about the creation of a palestinian state with its capital in east jerusalem. and this

position corresponds to the position of the arab world, the islamic world, therefore the arab islamic world has deep respect for our country and our president. i want to go back to the beginning of twenty-three. we observed how sacred scriptures were burned in european capitals, and the whole... the world watched how blasphemously they treated religious shrines and the holy scriptures, and as if in counterbalance to this end, our president went to the ancient city of derbeben, visited the oldest mosque in this

city, and he stated: “our russian people respect and appreciate, understand the holiness of the koran, and this was heard by the entire islamic world, you know, these spiritual, moral, ethical values ​​that we preserve and develop today, and the state helps us in this. this corresponds exactly to the same trends in the islamic world, which also value their own historical, cultural, religious, family traditions, in this we united with them, we feel, we deeply

understand that the world is not unipolar. the world today does not accept the hegemony of one state, the world today wants many polarities and that the values ​​of each state, sovereignty, independence of the state are respected in the world and that states are partners, equals...

which are based on the precepts of our sacred scriptures, we have a single civil nation today , it was precisely in the twenty-third year that we realized and felt all this, and thank god almighty, we all started together care...

to protect israel, to protect those ships that supply weapons to israel and so on, they declared that they would wage war on the houthis of yemen, in response yemen declared that they were starting a general mobilization to help gaza. what it is? if the houthis of yemen claim that they have very... strong weapons and advanced bombs that can destroy the lands and those bases that are in bahrain, this

means that the conflict in gaza no longer stops only in gaza, but goes beyond covers the middle east as we... wider and wider, you know, even at the beginning of this conflict in gaza, after october 7, 2023, we muslims of russia suggested, let’s hold an international, religious, spiritual... conference in the moscow cathedral mosque, wherever we could gather the religious leaders of islam from the entire arab, islamic world, and

here, after discussing, we came to those resolutions that we could send to the un, to religious centers such as the vatican, the russian orthodox church and other centers. so that we as spiritual leaders understand responsibility to the future of humanity , we do not have the right today to support those forces that are trying to impose the third world war on the world, something that is unacceptable, and we are grateful to our president, who...

i participated together with the president of the islamic republic of iran with ibrahim raisi at the international forum congress in tehran, where 73 countries of the world gathered. the islamic world, including from saudi arabia, from other major arab islamic states, and we discussed the issue of maintaining peace, and i was there, among 73 delegations, leading the delegation muslims of russia, sitting at the presidium , together with

... danish society, we live with the same problems , the same successes of our people, our state, and we, as muslims, fully understand the alarming mood of our society on the issue of migrants, especially when the issue of crime in the migration environment is raised, we discussed this issue... during our meeting at the end of october this year with the president, where the patriarch

of moscow of all russia was also present and spoke. kirill, when the patriarch kirill raised this question, i also answered him: i understand your wariness, uh, your, your anxiety, and we share your concern, we also understand our responsibility, as a responsibility...

the reaction on the part of those states from where these migrants come, but we know very well that in uzbekistan, in tajikistan, in kyrgyzstan, in kazakhstan, azerbaijan, in other southern regions, both russians and tatars live, our other peoples who worked there settled there. there they already

have a homeland and there they live, what will it be like for them attitude towards our russians, towards the russians , towards our compatriots living in these countries, our mistakes here within the country must not be allowed to influence the general situation there in relation to the hostile attitude towards our compatriots, this... is very important to understand, and you mentioned the enormous international work that you carry out with the arab states, with great international work in general, but i want to ask you about very important cooperation, in my opinion, with the defenders of the fatherland foundation, which you concluded back in october corresponding cooperation agreement, tell us at what stage is this work now? yes, we approached

the signing with full understanding. this agreement with the defenders of the fatherland fund, since the state did the right thing by creating a state fund to protect the defenders of our fatherland, to protect the families of the defenders of our fatherland...
