some methods and my god, what else was there, except that they did not find the certificates of the fsb officers, and i have no doubt that they could have found a european one. the true name, in fact , she should reveal everything true about herself. we hope that the constitutional court will consider this and give an answer. thank you for being with us. take care of yourself even without light and shine. let's go to our victory we will win together thank you, we met on sunday, and now for your attention i offer a news broadcast from my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news , let's watch it together good evening we are from ukraine, this is bibitians from ukraine my name is hryhoriy zhigalov, for the next half hour we will talk about ukraine fighting for the restoration of energy

infrastructure after the powerful bombing by russia, more than 70% of consumers already have electricity; victory means a return to normal life first of all. she always said that she wanted to stay behind the scenes, but now this woman is in the center of the world's attention interview of olena zelenska between the icy breath of winter and the fire of russian artillery, how is the front-line girl alive ukrenergo is gradually returning light to the homes of ukrainians, all regions are revived, the energy system is again connected to the system of the european union, the

company informs everyone three nuclear power plants located in the unoccupied territory are working, a large part of the thermal power plant and hydroelectric power plant has also resumed operation, the company expects that in 1-2 days they will return to their normal planned capacity and energy companies will be able to switch from instead of emergency to scheduled schedules, bukcroenergo also added that they are developing a mechanism for importing electricity from the european union in parallel. meanwhile, ukrainians are demonstrating that it is possible to continue living without light heat and support each other. as of this morning, half of the capital's residents were still without electricity but repairmen and energy workers show miracles of ingenuity and courage by restoring the infrastructure at a record pace bbc correspondent james waterhouse more

the dark cloud of russian tactics reaches most corners of ukraine, the consequences are felt by every ukrainian , but people still find the strength to live on, just like the government, there is an opportunity to repair the damage, engineers of the largest energy company of ukraine are going to work today's task is to repair an electric cable that was knocked down by a russian projectile earlier, this territory of the kherson region was near the front and the ribbons mark the next mines and it is impossible to work there, how much more difficult your work has become, our work has become very difficult er, we had very little such work, very rarely , such phenomena could only appear as a result of bad weather, well, as a result of some hurricanes or maybe winds, so it was very rare. and indeed,

it is very difficult for us if we did the 2:3 section -e conduct, we can now say capital capital construction of an overhead line. so it looks like an endless task under very dangerous conditions. the authorities say they want to give people electricity and heat, but the shelling does not stop. it is happening right across the region. it used to be done once every 5 years. now it is a daily ritual in the villages, they also suffer from the lack of water and electricity. and in this area, it has been going on for 8 months. most of the residents left a long time ago, but some remained at home. we meet bohdan. he wants to show us where he lives according to the photo

of the damage . it catches your eye, they are going to kyiv, they are asking someone for something or not, to help, or what kind of fool you have become. i don't know what you are worried about for your future. i don't know what they are doing. i don't know. i have never been like this in my life. i cried like this in my old age. and this is because of russian attacks on ukrainian infrastructure, the country is sinking into darkness, the determination of ukrainians has not weakened, but the suffering has increased in the darkness,

but without you now, and in the moldovan language on social networks , the country launched a flash mob after the power cut of the ukrainian power grid . united therefore the blackout also affected the neighbors after the current large-scale blackout in moldova launched a flash mob with the hashtag without you yes internet users demonstrate a protest against russia, the same hashtag was used by the ukrainian prime minister denys shmygal after negotiations with the prime minister of moldova natalia havrylytsia, i will remind you that after the attack, large moldovan cities, including the capital , were left without electricity. what our people are going through who have become collateral victims of this terrible war in ukraine. we have seen how difficult the

situation in ukraine is. moldova experienced a second power outage in a few weeks. two days ago we had a power outage that lasted for several hours, some people had to wait for a connection for a whole day, and this is because all the high-voltage power lines that moldova has pass through ukraine, because moldova is connected to the ukrainian network, so when we see all this squall of missile ukrainian infrastructure, moldova is automatically disconnected from the network in order to 'connect we need some time as long as these attacks continue will leave it the risk that people in moldova will be without electricity with all possible consequences for water supply and supplies in general we are very vulnerable due to our previous dependence on russian gas both in the sense of gas supply and in the sense of electricity another factor is the fact that we are a poorer country than the rest of the european countries and therefore moldova has less economic stability affected the population and

the country's ability to help its own population are also significantly lower. we observed a decrease in gas supplies to half of our needs and tried to reduce our supplies in november. we also received a warning that these supplies may be reduced even more so with justified accusations that we allegedly do not pay or that the ukrainians allegedly stop supplies, we also had to diversify our electricity supplies because until november we usually bought about 30% of our electricity in ukraine and the remaining 70% from a power plant in the separatist region of moldova, which also used russian gas is now 100% of our electricity we buy from romania at higher prices and we are very vulnerable in terms of electricity supply and social security she has always said she wants to stay behind the scenes, but that's what happened. that now this woman is in

the center of attention of the whole world. olena zelenska for many has become a symbol of the indomitability of ukrainian women and also a voice calling on the world to help ukraine. we met with the first lady as part of the bbc 100 women project to tell her about what it's like to be the wife of a military leader and also about how ukrainians and their values ​​have changed during the months of the war, the bbc correspondent lis dusset spoke with olena zelenska what's for you victory on the website of the olena zelenska foundation says that you we know exactly what victory means to us, victory means a return to normal life, first of all, because we are not living a normal life right now , er, sometimes it seems that it has been put on hold, everything has been put on hold, all dreams, all desires, all plans, we are all

just waiting for victory because nothing when you talk about the conditions that can be imposed on you in such a fictitious peace, which you are afraid of, does it bother you that in ukraine you may have to give up part of your lands, it worries all ukrainians, we believe that we cannot betray those who are now on in the occupied territories. well, we can't throw them away. these are people who are waiting for liberation. we can't. well, it means that we will betray those who have already died in this war. this will mean that they died for nothing . the political position of the president or the government is the position of the ukrainians expressed by the president, including so when you are told that it will be in the interests of

peace, you say that it will not be peace, it will definitely definitely happen to me very soon we are confident in our strength we m-m ravi well, that is, at we have no questions about you know with faith in victory everyone who is now at the front everyone who is fighting in the armed forces of ukraine they are fighting they know why we are not fighting for our country that is why we have no questions about the fact that there will be victory and there will be peace you often say what you say like a mother and what would you say to the russian mothers when it first started it seemed to me that someone could hear something now we see that no one hears anything so to invent some speeches for

those who will not hear you is a waste of time just fantasies they will never hear us because they are locked in their information space and they are locked there for a reason, so their leadership needs it so that people, uh, come out of this, you know, information vacuum, so that they don't get anything extra for them. then it will be such a crowd that can be controlled and unfortunately, everyone this country and their mothers are like that unfortunately for the soldiers who are fighting in our country, you are also like that, you are the mother of two children, the wife until now, you were the wife of a comedian, a tv star, the president,

and now he is a military leader, how has your relationship changed, i don't think anything has changed because he will be a wife, he will always be a wife, we are lucky that he and i are not just spouses, we are with him i think i can safely say that friends are better than me, and therefore receiving and giving support in such a situation is easy, it is natural and it does not require effort from you fortunately, it worked out. it seems to me that no one would want to go through these times in our situation, but we have what we have, as they say in ukraine, i hope that this will only harden us , because we really see each other very rarely. but all the

more, we have one thing. tell one tell when we meet, the russian troops who were forced to retreat from kherson are regrouping and concentrating their efforts in the east of ukraine, in particular. they are trying to capture more territory near donetsk. the city returned from there the bbc correspondent abdujalli fooled this is what it looks like the front line months of intense fighting have turned avdiyivka into the ghost town of avdiivka is being cut off avdiivka street deserted people who still remain in the city are afraid to go out because of constant shelling it is really quiet here the only sound that can be heard is the

sound of artillery fire people come out of their shelter when delivering humanitarian aid to eat a hero of labor goes to the store this is a feat to shoot because i don't know if you will get there or not , there are about two thousand people left from avdi. they are trying to squeeze out gas , electricity, heating and water supply in this basement 14 people here use new year's illumination for lighting, and for heating, an old stove, a toilet is a very smart thing, we have an invention, this bucket turns out to be a bucket, yes, once a day, the local authorities

urge people to leave the city, they warn that it will be difficult to survive the winter, they tell people that winter will really come to you well, we we won't be able to deliver food to you, we won't be able to. if you even have the desire to leave there, we wo n't be able to evacuate you, because the roads aren't going to be such things, you tell them. you're from america, you're just, if you don't starve to death, you'll freeze. elena can follow his advice and leave. she's cooking pea soup near her house. the building is badly damaged and unfit for habitation. to blow up, the more they shoot from two sides and get here, how did they not get there? well, these are all the apartments,

here are the apartments around the house . lands a few hundred meters from us. we must go into shelter while the explosions and shelling remind everyone here that the winter here will be deadly and the russian troops are intensively shelling kherson , which was recently abandoned according to the city authorities on the territory of the kherson territorial community , in the last 5 days alone there were 63 shellings during this time , 15 people were killed, dozens of kherson residents were injured , on november 24 there were 18 shellings, as reported by the head of the region, yaroslav yanushevich, the last shelling happened around 5 p.m., when the russian military artillery covered a residential area with fire, a high-rise building caught fire, shells hit a

children's playground, the head of the city's military administration, galina lugova, called on the residents of the kherson region to leave the region due to shelling and let's see what is happening in general on the front line, contact us, a military expert, the head of the ukrainian security center and cooperation serhii kuzan i welcome you on the air, is there any military necessity for the russians to shell kherson , there is absolutely no such necessity, of course but what we talked about and warned about happened a week ago, that is, the russians consolidated their positions on the left bank and kherson is turning into a front-line city, that is, the same as kharkiv, the same as kryvyi rih, the same as nikopol and the same as mykolaiv until now fate awaits kherson, that is, russia as a terrorist state

simply terrorizes the inhabitants of the front-line territories, fires at them with rocket launchers. and actually, this is their tactic to cause a humanitarian catastrophe in in the front-line territories, that is, as in ostrovsky , the data does not reach anyone, the british defense minister voles called on the ukrainian army to maintain the pace and continue attacks on russian forces throughout the winter. keep the tempo well, of course, the weather is like this, namely the rainy weather. it and the heat and mud are always the factors that slow down the advance of any army. but still, our operations are successful, in particular in the luhansk direction in in the svatovo region, the russians are forced to transfer

additional reserves there in order to slow down the pace of our advance, successful operations are also underway in the southern direction, in particular, in the zaporozhye direction, e-e , so we understand that it is our job not to give the russians a break, not to give them the opportunity to accumulate their forces e-e, remove their equipment from conservation to carry out combat coordination for their new units from partially mobilized, but the whole question is only in the tool. that is, we need the necessary weapons in sufficient quantity in order to carry out such large-scale offensive operations, because let's talk about what, what can the russian army become in a few months, and for now, the questions can be brief, yes, the failures of winter companies very often during the course of historical events are explained by the fact that one

army was less prepared for the winter in the minority before the frosts than the other if we now compare the armies on the front line or the army is more prepared for the approaching winter well, of course, here and in terms of material, the most important in from a moral point of view, the ukrainian army is much more ready to conduct combat operations in conditions of frost, that is, such adverse weather conditions, and even from the interceptions that we see and observe of the russian units in their fighting spirit, especially after the last defeat in kherson, he is at a low level, and besides, their material support, the individual support of the fighter, it is in an extremely poor condition, and we are not only talking about suitable sleeping bags, sleeping bags for sub-zero temperatures or, for example, thermal clothing, which simply does not exist in the russian army, they use loose clothing, but we are also

talking about elementary nutrition, which should of course be different in winter, and about medical care . in the army, there are very, very many people with such chronic diseases, colds , and it is extremely difficult to find even basic medical care for them, and this, of course, lowers their fighting capacity, so general moroza is playing on the ukrainian side, and let's now return to this opinion that you literally expressed a few minutes ago about the fact that russia is trying to restore the combat capability of its army. today, referring to sources in the kremlin, putin expects that by spring there will be more than 100,000 mobilized are ready and prepared and this will actually replace the losses

now at the front and at this moment russia will be able to start all over again with a new large-scale company in the kremlin , this is also your story that is being written in the kremlin they are aware that there will be huge losses, but no one there is worried about it. you see the potential for this in russia and what ukraine can oppose here. we really have to say whether the kremlin has already said goodbye to this and the first and second waves of mobilization, that is, to those people who are fighting today at the front, they have already been written off by the russian state itself, and they do not even expect that these people will survive there and continue to fight, that is, the russians desperately need negotiations today in order to prolong the time to drag out this winter period somehow during this time to find their newly mobilized because the ukrainian army at the

front is very successfully, well, simply destroying all those whom russia has mobilized and at such rates the russians understand that their mobilization simply will not save them so they need time and preferably this winter period for them well, let's play some peace negotiations in order to come out with new units in the spring and attack ukraine in a new way, because i will remind you that putin's goal is, of course, no nedonet region, his goal is to overthrow the ukrainian state and the destruction of ukrainians as a nation well, i understand that the armed forces of ukraine have an action plan on this account, thank you very much for your time, for your expertise, military expert , head of the ukrainian center for security and cooperation serhii kuzan, thank you once again so when new air defense equipment will be handed over to ukraine, how

to protect energy infrastructure facilities, and ultimately is an international tribunal possible for the political and military leaders of russia, my colleague zhanna bezpidchuk spoke with the leader james cleverley of the british ministry of foreign affairs came to kyiv on a working visit and spoke exclusively about the plans and goals of great britain in the russo-ukrainian war. you saw kyiv in total darkness due to the blackout. can you please share your impressions? the lights of the wig when we entered the city, all the windows were dark, the street lights were turned off, the usual hustle and bustle of the big city disappeared, and knowing that this blow to the energy sector is like an act of aggression, an act of war. you see how ukrainians do without water and electricity, so

vladimir putin is trying to starve them and freeze them. it was very emotional. when i return to britain, this will definitely be one of the topics i discuss with my colleagues. we arrived yesterday and there was no water in the house, but the water supply was fixed, i think . this is a very powerful signal from ukrainians who say yes, we need victory, we appreciate the support of the international community, but we ourselves are determined to support life in the city and preserve our country, and this greatly inspires me and the british to solve this problem with the support of partners, in particular great britain. your country helped ukraine from the very beginning of the russian invasion and ukrainians are very grateful for this support, but let's be realistic, in general, ukraine has more than 100 power plants and main substations , it is impossible to protect each one with the help of a powerful nuclear power plant,

but it is possible to protect this critical infrastructure with the help of, for example, such long-range complexes as it works, and modern fighter jets, neither the first nor the second ukraine has any britain's position on this matter, should ukraine provide such weapons? we are very proud to support ukraine. we are one of the first to provide ammunition and weapons to ukraine's armed forces. we are the second largest military donor to ukraine. we regularly communicate with representatives of the ukrainian authorities and listen very carefully to their needs. on the ukrainian energy infrastructure and it needs protection systems, we are discussing both within britain and with our international allies the provision of more means to ukraine air defense, defense equipment that will meet the attacks that ukrainians are subjected to, it is necessary to make sure that the integrated air defense

system will meet the necessary requirements. so, you are discussing with the government of ukraine and international partners which equipment to provide. and where is the best place to place it, since, as you say, there are hundreds of infrastructure facilities, it is impossible to protect each one but we want to make sure that ukraine will be able to protect the most important thing, so we will put pressure on those who supply russia with military equipment. we gave a very clear signal to the russian system and to other countries that the attack on ukraine is not justified and the illegal method is not acceptable and the united kingdom will take measures, that is why we introduced sanctions both against individual russians and against russian companies involved in the war in ukraine, we also imposed sanctions on countries such as iran that provide military technique used against the ukrainian people, we give a clear signal that russia's support in this brutal war against

ukraine is unacceptable and we will act in response, we will make maximum efforts to attract the responsibility of these people, those who committed sexual violence and used rape as a weapon in war . you can find the full version of this interview on the bbc.ua website and on our pages in social networks, we are on the air again from monday live at 9:00 p.m. take care, the
