perspective as you can see, the weather significantly affects sleepiness, as you can clearly see from this shot, for example, it affects not only people, but also animals, that's why we take care of each other and those around us. tomorrow take care, pay attention to the situation, possible threats from the enemy, keep warm hearts, warmth in the homes , we will win and break through until tomorrow let's watch news together. good evening. we are from ukraine. i congratulate you on bbc news ukraine, and olga

palamaryuk is working in the studio, and today we are talking about such things. experts and at once seven ministers of foreign affairs of the baltic and scandinavian countries in kyiv and with what came diplomats volodymyr zelenskyi and the southern defense forces warned ukrainians about a possible new series missile strikes of russia this week and urged not to ignore the alarm signals, according to zelensky , this week may be as difficult as the previous one. natalya humenyuk, head of the press center of the southern defense force, on the air of the telethon, also called on ukrainians not to ignore the alarm signals

, as the russians took a missile carrier into the black sea the mayor of kyiv vitaliy klitschko did not rule out the partial relocation of the capital's residents to the suburbs, most of the country remained without electricity for some time , regions without water supply for some time power units of the khmelnytskyi rivne and south ukrainian npps, which currently provide almost half of energy consumption, and the kyiv authorities declare that electricity and water supply have been almost completely restored in the ukrainian capital, millions of people are trying to adapt to life in frosty weather after russian attacks on the energy infrastructure from kyiv, reports bbc correspondent jesika parker, everything is perceived almost as something new, there is light, there is also water, lyudmila , who lives alone, has been without light for several days millions of other ukrainians, such interruptions can be

repeated again and again, it can be endured, well, it is very hard, it is impossible to live without electricity and water in the city, the radiators do not work, the water is cold, it is cold everywhere, there is only one hope that we will win. tents by the main road, this is one of the many public shelters that have arisen throughout ukraine, it is like a rescue center for everyday contacts and emergency situations. iryna is nine months pregnant, she really needs in case she has a connection, we come here in case we need to call an ambulance because i'm pregnant and in two days i have to give birth correctly it's warm here and there is an opportunity to

work or play, some just sit silently in this war, you can wait a long time and - and cook nothing, warm it up volodymyr and his mother came here to collect hot water for a sick child olga says that she is very tired well, of course, something has become a little difficult for me, i used to hold on , but now the nervous system cannot withstand the load this morning, glory to ukraine barely woke up, winter brings few guarantees except for the cold and fears that russia will continue to target the energy system of ukraine, driving people here to hide from their own homes, student volodymyr zelenskyy held

another meeting of the supreme commander-in-chief, where the russians' plans and ways of response were discussed. this was reported in the office the president's commanders-in-chief, the commanders of the military operational areas, reported on the current situation on the fronts and the actions of the defense forces on the de-occupation of ukrainian territory, the members of the stake also listened to information from the intelligence chiefs about the enemy's plans; in addition, the meeting discussed the course of restoration of the energy system and its protection against possible russian attacks , and the foreign ministers of estonia, lithuania, latvia, sweden, finland , norway and iceland arrived in kyiv at the same time. the details of the joint visit were not announced from the beginning. a joint photo of the ministers next to the ukrzaliznytsia train appeared on twitter. further, the minister of foreign affairs of finland published a photo of mykhailo square against the background of destroyed russian equipment, as he wrote

the minister of foreign affairs in latvia is the main issue on the agenda will the countries of northern europe support ukraine even more and the meeting of seven european ministers took place on the eve of the nato meeting tomorrow in the capital of romania, bucharest, a meeting of the north atlantic council will be held at the level of foreign ministers, they will consider the best issues of euro-atlantic security and, in particular, the development of the situation surrounding russian aggression against ukraine , nato secretary general jens stoltenberg said before the meeting nato will continue to stand by ukraine for as long as it takes. end of quote, back in touch, expert of the center for defense strategies oleksandr hara. i welcome you to our broadcast. nato secretary general jens stoltenberg said that now the alliance is focused on providing assistance to

ukraine in its defense against the russian aggression. what do you expect from tomorrow's meeting of ministers? well, first of all, i would like to quote the minister of foreign affairs in sweden, who said that only the military defeat of the russian federation will be the end of this conflict. and actually this is the main mood of the ministers who arrived in kyiv and those who will gather in bucharest and discuss both their own security of the members of the aryans and ukraine itself, and it is not only security. energy because russia commits terrorist acts, they are trying to destroy ukrainian infrastructure, today the minister of defense of ukraine announced such figures that about 16,000 rockets hit ukrainian cities and 97% of all hits they were civil in terms of infrastructure, not military. in fact, these issues will be discussed, and there will definitely be a question of strengthening the

eastern flank of nato, or there are countries, primarily bal, but also romania, which feel in danger and want to see more support for their western partners i have the name of the so-called old europe, that is exactly what will be discussed during this meeting, the american edition of the new york times meanwhile published an article in which it is said that 20 of the 30 nato member countries have almost completely exhausted the stockpiles of weapons for ukraine, does the west have the resources to continue to help ukraine, yes, we definitely have to, maybe not, not as we would like, we should keep in mind the first moment, we are fighting with the largest military power in europe and, of course, the scrap metal of the soviet for several years, they have this first point, the second point, they have given us what they can provide without harming their own security, the third

point, they have already deployed the actual production capacity in order to produce the weapons that is needed both in order to replace what was given to us and also very interesting for us is the information that the united states is considering the possibility of providing us with missile systems with a greater radius of action, unfortunately, this is not the attack that we want to receive and to give us the opportunity to evaluate throughout the territory of crimea and other places as well. but this will be a breakthrough thing, no doubt. that's why there are problems, but on the other hand, the determination of our western partners will primarily connect them states. i'm not talking about those who feel in danger in the baltic states poland, romania, they are ready to give us aid , by the way, these countries, the seven eu countries whose ministers arrived in ukraine gave us 1.4 almost 1.4

billion dollars. weapons of ukraine if you look at the percentage of gdp well, continuing the topic of weapons, minister of foreign affairs dmytro kuleba noted in one of the interviews that a number of countries transfer weapons to ukraine secretly through intermediaries, while they officially say that they do not supply anything to in your opinion, is it the reluctance to publicize the fears of russia and its allies, or is it possible? this is such a well -thought-out tactic to do everything quietly, well, you know , the former prime minister of italy did this at one time because of the pro-russian sentiments in the government and actually in the state, and that's why he didn't want to annoy them in fact france does the same thing, we only know about a few howitzers that were transferred there, something else, but the full extent of what even france gives us, it is not voiced, and of course this has its own meaning in order not to actually give the enemy an opportunity

understand what is happening, and secondly, those have a state that is vulnerable to the russian federation. well, for example, we constantly appeal to the state of israel to help us with protective things, and the official state of israel refuses, but i am not sure that it is not official, it does not supply us, for example anti-drone systems, the same iranian ones, because this is a common threat, we have a common enemy, both the russian federation and iran and their proxy forces. thanks for the conversation. this was a diplomat from the expert center for defense strategies oleksandr har the ministry of defense of great britain officially confirmed the shipment of brimstone 2 missiles to ukraine on twitter. the ministry of defense published a video showing the missiles being loaded into a military transport vehicle of the 17th royal air force. britain first handed over brimstone missiles of the first generation to ukraine about six months ago, but these were

outdated modifications now we are talking about the second-generation brimstone 2 missiles. initially, they were created as aviation missiles, but they were adapted for launches from a ground installation except stone two is equipped with a combined laser sensor guidance system in combination with a radar warhead, a high-precision millimeter-range radar allows you to independently select targets in a given area, a laser guidance system usually requires external guidance from the air or the ground, the occupation administration of the city of energodar, where the zaporizhia npp is located, on monday morning said that russian troops do not plan to leave the largest nuclear power plant in europe, which was seized in march on the eve of a possible the retreat of the russians was written by the reuters agency , and the ukrainian authorities touched on this topic. the head of the energoatom company

, petro kotin, said about the signs that the russian military was preparing to leave the power plant in recent weeks, we actually received information that there were signs that they might be going to leave the power plant, kotin said on the air. ukrainian television, at the same time , the head of the nuclear power plant noted that it is still too early to talk about a retreat that has begun, however, the russian military is preparing for such an option, and the american institute for the study of war has published a daily report with an analysis of military operations in ukraine, this time the authors evaluate the defensive positions that russian troops occupy in the eastern part of the kherson region and russia's expectations regarding future operations in this area . moments to force the dnieper and continue the counteroffensive on the left bank

of the kherson region, and the russian forces have no illusions about their capabilities, because they do not even make any effort without trying to stop the crossing, considering the options for the further development of events, the authors emphasize that all the given scenarios are theoretical explanations, british intelligence reports that kherson remains vulnerable to shelling by the russian military, because the city is still within the operating radius of most of the russian artillery systems that are now firing from of the left bank of the dnipro river, a significant part of the damage is probably always in kherson due to russia's use of rocket salvo systems mainly hail systems are noted in the british military intelligence and the british ministry of defense remind that only on november 24, ten people died in the city, and on november 27, 54

shellings were recorded in this area, which is the highest number for a day so far. let's talk about the situation in kherson with journalist liza zhalyzu you are on the air and the first thing i want to ask about is how is life in kherson now . good evening. kherson lives are difficult in kherson , an explosion is constantly heard, and after the release i lived in kherson for several days and after 3:00 p.m. i went outside because when i was there there was no light, the city was completely dark, but the stars in kherson are very beautiful. in fact, the city is constantly being shelled. there are many victims. antonivka and the private sector located along the dnieper are particularly suffering. and i know many people

whose houses were hit and they look at the photos and look for their windows, trying to understand whether they survived and worry about their loved ones who remain in kherson because the connection there is still bad, but in it is really very difficult for kherson to live because of the russian shelling, this is one of the main problems. well, actually, you said about communication, so there are problems with communication. and how has the city changed after the deoccupation ? food, medicine, what are the problems now ? kherson was three weeks without light, water, with bad connection, there are certain wi-fi access points where people come to communicate with their relatives, but gradually the connection and light and even water is restored and the local authorities report that uh about a quarter of household consumers have already received

electricity, there is partial light in the central part of the microdistricts, the island of the residential tavriyskyi shumetskyi north, but again, electricity is starting to be supplied to the critical infrastructure in the first place, and only then to the consumers, and most people still do not have electricity, but today i received a call from kherson and they said that water began to appear in the faucets and this is a great joy for the people. they can wash themselves because they were without electricity, water and extremely it's difficult, but the situation with products is simpler already in the city, supermarkets are opening, there are huge queues, but it was possible to buy products, the question was where to store them, because when we don't have electricity and a refrigerator, it's a problem, but nevertheless, somehow everything is recovering little by little in the city, it is difficult, but

life is getting better as it can. well, in view of this, the ukrainian ruler is calling on the local population to evacuate, are the locals listening, or are they leaving kherson? and in general, is it realistic to leave kherson now? a lot of people are leaving, i was driving a car and i actually saw a bigger column leaving the city than entering it, and there is an evacuation train to khmelnytsk , it leaves every day at 18:00 from the kherson station, and there are a lot of people from kherson, they can not come yet because the situation in the city is dangerous, and to stay there they come not for several days, but then return to the place where they currently live and then go to kherson again, but in fact people do go, but maybe not in the number that is needed, because the city is really

is under constant shelling and the people who remain there are in constant danger. thank you . take care. it was journalist liza zharkhykh. there is a threat in the video of alexander lukashenko about the situation in kherson, but it is impossible to say that there will be an invasion from belarus soon. according to the representative of gur andriy yusov, the information that belarus is allegedly preparing an offensive can be spread especially in his opinion, such fakes are beneficial for russia because this information sows panic among ukrainians in the border regions, this informational and psychological special operation, yusov says, is also aimed at disorienting the armed forces and inciting the belarusians to do so that they would still involve belarus in a full-scale war . russian equipment overturns tomorrow in belarus

they will say goodbye to the minister of foreign affairs volodymyr mackay died suddenly last saturday, he was 64. observers note that volodymyr mackay considered a liaison of alexander lukashenko from europe, in addition, after the russian invasion of ukraine , it was makeev who was one of the mediators in the negotiations between ukraine and russia in february and march. the cause of the diplomat's death has not been reported, and valery, a journalist of the belarusian service of radio liberty , contacted us kalinovsky, mr. valery, i congratulate you. thank you for joining two days after the death of the diplomat . what is known, unofficial sources report that he died of a heart attack and it happened, as it were, because of his lack of attention to his health, that he did not

i was in a hurry to call the doctors, well, it’s unofficial, but let’s say what information is received officially, no one, there are no reports, it’s just so sudden death . well, after that, there are many different opinions and everything else, so it’s speculation, i would say on this topic, well , it’s a separate topic, well, until now belarus openly did not take part in the war against ukraine during its territory and the equipment of the russian army . information, news from the goblin region, from where , just in february, russian tanks went to kyiv, to chernobyl, and now there it says that in the last 9 months there has been minimal activity of russian forces on the western flank of this social group , which seems to be training there along the ukrainian border, even less activity, so to say

that some kind of group is being created that could really , er, form, and now it is very difficult to intervene in ukraine again, there is also no such understanding in society that belarusians are needed to interfere in to send their soldiers, so i think that the probability of this is very, very low, although you can never say never. well, considering that the other day, the lukashenka press service announced that the belarusian president is going to visit moscow, and they say that there are problems between belarus and russia that require discussion with what does putin know about this? what kind of problems do you think we are talking about? well, lukashenko then meets almost once every two months under different conditions, and they have been discussing it for the past two years. i think the main problem of these of discussions. it was ukraine, as analysts later study. it was actually two years of preparation before the invasion, before the involvement of belarus so that it would provide territory for aggression from its territory

, so i think that first of all this, and secondly, these are economic problems. because belarus is already under sanctions since the 20th year in belarus we need money, we need russian markets, we need some kind of joint military production, launch a nuclear power plant, there is a lot to talk about . it is reported, but also something about the war, and regarding the economy, the meeting with putin, are there any signs that lukashenka can be inclined to participate directly in the war against ukraine? well, this mysterious death brings the events to a new level, because we do not know what he died of, but they do not we know that the mock-up was probably not beneficial to russia, i was dissatisfied because it was a bridge for belarus to the west with some possibility of normalization, and russia was

dissatisfied with it, and that is why she will probably try to put pressure on oleksandr in some way lukashenka to leave well, but i think that after all, against the whole society, which is peaceful and against war, thinks that lukashenko will not leave even under pressure, then thank you for the conversation . in two countries, the situation in which is not direct, but has a certain influence on the audacity with which moscow may or may not continue its war against ukraine, let's start with china, where the police continue to detain participants of mass demonstrations against the continuation of the lockdowns introduced due to the pandemic from 19 , protests lasted until the end of the night in the country's capital, beijing, as well as in the largest cities, as reported by bbc correspondents in china. some demonstrators are not only demanding the lifting of covid restrictions, they are putting forward

demands for the resignation of cd-in-pin, which are extremely unusual for this country. the chinese capital became the last city where, as well as throughout the country, a protest against the coronavirus restrictions erupted on the street. white sheets of paper held by the participants of the action are a symbol of censorship. in china, people want the authorities to give up from strict quarantine measures and mandatory cavity testing was stopped, but political slogans for freedom of the press and democracy also appeared in the southwestern part of chendu, you can hear criticism of sydzenpin here, dissatisfied with his life-long leadership, they say the country does not need an emperor, slogans about leadership began to be heard even during the protests in shanghai, then he was called to resign and the ruling party to relinquish power, the places where clashes broke out

were already surrounded by special fences that the police caused a wave of anger throughout china, a fire in an apartment building in tianjin caused the death of ten people last week. protesters blame the coronavirus restrictions for the deaths of people . chinese foreign ministry spokesman zhao lijian says that this fire and the coronavirus restrictions were connected by foreign forces with ulterior motives, but these the protests only showed dissatisfaction among the society that was already showing up in china, this man says that people want dignity and justice and adds that he does not want chinese children to continue living in this era of horror one of china's problems is that no one knows when the government will lift the coronavirus restrictions, and even if the government has a plan, people are not told about it,

so it seems to people that the restrictions can last forever , which is terrifying. china's zero-covid policy involves a permanent lockdown in which the country is in its third year, people are not allowed to leave their homes or travel, and in addition, mass testing is everywhere, sometimes the authorities can block entire cities and close entire businesses, but even with such strict restrictions, covid-19 continues to spread within five days, a record number of new cases were registered in the country, and further to iran , anti-government protests there also do not stop and are beginning to threaten the regime, the country's security forces are trying to suppress the rallies, but they have covered the entire country, the latest riot is taking place against the background of the statements of the niece of the supreme leader of the country, who spoke out against the regime in the online video and all the details further in iran, the bloody repression that

engulfed the country took place in the eastern provinces and in tehran, where students staged a sit-in protest the riots also spread to iran's metallurgical industry, when a group of workers refused to work at one of the factories, all this is happening as a sign of solidarity with 22-year-old mahsa amini, who died in september. after she was allegedly brutally beaten by the iranian police, moral rights activists claim that during the protests the security forces beat at least 450 people , including 51 children, in the end , his relatives rebelled against the supreme leader of the country in this video published on the internet against alykh aviatola me and his own niece came forward. she called the uncle's regime a bloodthirsty and child -killing faridai murat hani. she called on foreign governments to break relations with iran because of the cruelty

towards pro-testers. she comes from a family that has historically been politically active and her father was a cleric, he was against the shah's regime, but he was also, however , the supreme leader of the islamic republic and alikha mene this weekend once again defiantly ignored the protests, although the video was recorded by his niece seems to be sending him a strong signal that in the future it will be very difficult to ignore these speeches and an urgent notice was announced in ladyzhyn a military emergency due to the state of the heating networks. this decision was adopted by the vinnytsia regional commission on technogenic and environmental safety and emergency situations. the head of the

local regional military administration announced this urgently coordination of the forces and means of civil protection of the military command and critical infrastructure enterprises is required the headquarters is already working, we are restoring the operation of heating networks, the message says, and that's all for today, there are more stories, search on our website bbc.ua and on our pages in social networks, we will be on the air again tomorrow at 9:00 pm good luck and take care there might have been a black friday ad but we're canceling this ad we just want to give you up to 50% off on megogo so you can still afford to relax sometimes with free choice and knowledge
