the armed forces to fight and the population to winter, is there enough help allies, we reflect on the results of the meeting in bucharest, the russians are bombing energy plants, they are repairing what ukrainian officials are most afraid of with the onset of winter, an interview with the minister of energy and attempts to undermine morale russians, how does the hotline with tips on how to surrender to ukrainian captivity work? ukraine claims that more than 3,000 russians have used it. the two-day meeting of the foreign ministers of nato member

countries ended in the capital of romania. to help ukraine win the war with russia and to mobilize all its forces in matters of military, economic , financial and humanitarian support, the representative of the russian foreign ministry, maria zakharova, has already reacted to nato's final statement said that the wording contained in the document indicates that nato is absolutely not interested in the politics of a diplomatic solution in ukraine. it was a direct speech during the time itself . the alliance also discussed its future policy towards countries where russian influence is preserved to one degree or another. about moldova , georgia, and herzegovina will be discussed. according to the head of the alliance, the war in ukraine also showed europe's dangerous dependence on russian gas, and in a minute, the results of the meeting of nato ministers and we will discuss the alliance's aid to ukraine with a military expert, and first of all, a bbc correspondent in bucharest asked the nato secretary general

why ukraine is still not quietly given the weapons it is asking for. this time why can't you or the nato allies transfer air defense systems to ukraine, the patriot they want pensions first of all, one of the main reasons why it is important to have a minister of kuleba here is that we we can sit down together and have a good talk about everything, consider and discuss the urgent needs and various specific demands that ukraine puts forward to nato. this dialogue has already enabled us to increase the support from the nato alliance to an unprecedented level, both in terms of the variety of weapons and their number , so it is important so that we continue to meet and discuss specific lists, we do it in nato,

we do it in the so-called rammstein format, this partly concerns the provision of new systems, for example , patriots, about which the discussion is currently ongoing, but also to a large extent, this concerns ensuring the effectiveness and functioning of weapons systems, and for this we need to be sure that we can provide ammunition and spare parts so that the ukrainians can carry out the maintenance of these systems, one of the huge problems that we are currently facing is that we not only we provide advanced systems such as the samsa and the german airists, but we also guarantee the provision of the necessary ammunition and spare parts so that these systems work effectively and with us on military communications expert, retired lieutenant general, founder of a charity fund, in particular, the sky of ukraine ihor romanenko i welcome you on the air and let's start with the question that our correspondent just asked the secretary general of nato about anti-

missile systems patriot, why they are still not in ukraine and how much ukraine needs them now these systems, could they significantly change the situation, i first of all welcome our tv viewers, dear british people of great britain, of the great people, regarding the question directly of your it is necessary to take the next step in relation to the reaction at least to what is happening in ukraine with the use of large-scale missile strikes by the aggressor country, exactly missile strikes, and precisely from this type of weaponry, unfortunately, we do not have a significant effective countermeasure, because the missiles are especially ballistic hypersonic ones, they need the impact of special weapons that are anti-missile and not

just anti-aircraft defense because anti-aircraft defense means although the old ones are still soviet, we have and significantly increased these capabilities from the beginning war, we are very grateful to all the allies who helped us in this, and first of all to the british, the leader in britain, who always behaved somewhat like their great churchill in the 40th year , who told the americans what to give us weapons, and we will solve the rest of the issues ourselves, and that is why we are also asking this question today, and it is precisely for this type of anti-aircraft missile armament that the patriot applies in this case, and i do not understand if the germans are ready to hand over all the complexes to the poles, and

crossing km across the border, it is a ukrainian -is it is impossible to do. i understand bath politics, er, i understand the appropriate approach and that the allies are afraid, er, views in russia on escalation in this connection, but you need to know who putin is and how he was brought up from childhood. and this person is er, st. petersburg hooligans and on this wednesday, uh, they put pressure on those who are weaker and retreat from those who resist and those who give you two sichs exactly in this form. now my country is the defense force of ukraine, and therefore it is necessary to clearly imagine that putin and with them the great britain, for which we are very grateful . thank you. at the same time, the alliance promises to support

ukraine will need as many weapons and generators to help survive the winter. how much help from the allies is in time now and do they have time to meet the needs of the armed forces, unfortunately, they do not have time, that is, if you look at the history of this stage of the war . th year, now a large-scale stage of this war is taking place, so all the time the allies were reacting after the fact, something important is happening and after that it is not given by arms, for example, something that is extremely necessary for us, that is, i want to remember that in the spring of this year, the issue was from the point of view of anti-aircraft defense, to provide, not to provide us with a portable anti-aircraft missile system and a stinger, and now we already have quite complex anti-flood defense weapons, such as sams complexes, arrest complexes, but no

none of the others are anti-missile defense, i.e. defense against a strike by russian missiles, such as the iskander-m a-a or point u, and the patriot would provide such an opportunity from the point of view of the help of the generator in our country, which is interesting in my opinion the statement of the secretary of the nsdc, mr. danilov, who said, you know, you can save a lot on this aid, because even at the expense of the generator share, give us modern weapons and we will arrange everything else, that is, there are options and we are grateful for this that the allies will understand it and take decisive steps forward in order to jointly overcome the aggressor country well, the two-day meeting of nato ministers has ended, nato members promised to support ukraine, but

they are not in a hurry to talk about ukraine joining the alliance yet jens stoltenberg in particular, he said that the process of ukraine joining nato should begin. first, we need to win the war with russia , they say that now this is the priority. will it be possible, but let's say after that , we, the allies, need to be determined and prepare decisively. i would like to remind you that in the same bucharest in 2008 , god gave a chance to accept the pds to ukraine and georgia because merkel stopped it with the president france has had a large-scale war in europe. now there is already a large-scale war, and therefore there is no need to take into account previous mistakes. we should act more decisively in the

current situation. that is why we proposed acceleration. we looked at finland and sweden, a very good example, and the allies support this option. that to me and more than ever in the seven-mile program, we are moving forward about our language , the requirements of nato standards. to protect the eastern borders of this organization from the point of view of anti-missile defense, it is necessary to build a belt from norway to bulgaria, and maybe turkey and ukraine will occupy a central place there in countering effective countermeasures against air strikes on nato countries. we see a prospect in this. but we need a little and maybe

not a little, but decisively help. thank you for your cooperation . thank you, and during the nato meeting in bucharest , the united states promised to provide ukraine with funds for the restoration of the electrical network, western officials they say that the company for the reconstruction of ukraine should be considered as a second front in the war, the new york times writes about this, according to the state department , it is about 53 million dollars, which will be used for the purchase of equipment, in particular, the distributor of transformers and circuit breakers, the us government plans to purchase the equipment and transfer it to ukraine, focusing primarily on what can be delivered as soon as possible, as the publication notes, the biden administration has already identified $30 million worth of equipment that can be sent

in particular, from the reserves of the ministry of energy, and the energy system of ukraine meanwhile is recovering after shelling russia launched a large-scale missile attack on ukraine last wednesday , november 23, during this week, thanks to the continuous work of the energy ministry, the situation has somewhat stabilized , this happened thanks to the reduction of the generation deficit , says the minister of energy of ukraine, a bbc correspondent spoke with herman halushchenko jessica parker and asked if it is possible for the population to return to planned blackouts, our goal is to make these restrictions as short as possible amen, it can be considered a good achievement if people are left without electricity supply for no more than 4-5 hours a day, but of course the duration of the blackouts will depend on the attacks. what are your

biggest fears for this winter ? the security system worked perfectly, but if these attacks continue, it will be the biggest threat, i mean if something happens to nuclear plants or diesel generators, what will the consequences be ? possible not only for ukraine but also for others this can potentially create problems with radiation problems for people's lives and health and here we are talking about thousands of people taking into account the current situation if the shelling of critical infrastructure continues or even increases, is ukraine able to go through it google yes yes we will manage, we have no other way out, we have to do it because we have

no other way out, you said that people are ready to endure displacement, people are already suffering, they are suffering in the occupied cities, they are suffering from attacks but they are ready for this suffering i am sure that we are united and ready to suffer on the energy front and we are ready to use this winter because this is what is needed for our victory more than 3.5 thousand russian soldiers and their relatives have already applied i want to live on the hotline. the goal of this project is to inform the russian military about the possibility of laying down their arms and surrendering . also, try to undermine not only their morale but also that of the whole of russia. the bbc was unable to check how many russian soldiers have already surrendered . captured because moscow does not publish such figures bbc correspondents james waterhouse will tell

more on foreign territory ukrainian messages to russian soldiers war crimes of the russian leadership what are you fighting for ask this video of a certain moment it offers cash for the surrender of weapons and equipment for the voluntary surrender of the ukrainian army weapons later with there are two numbers, this is the solution, the ukrainian hotline for the surrender of prisoners from the contact line to the telephone line, this secret operation takes place in kyiv, one telephone operator a person whom we do not disclose says that they receive up to a hundred requests per day, the calls are different , more often they happen in the evening or at night, she says this because this is the only time when russian soldiers were alone, they gave us several recordings of conversations, which we transcribed. congratulations, this is a pow center.

hello i was given this number and told that it is possible to surrender voluntarily. i am in the kherson region. can you first go to telegram, find the window , i want live chat and fill out the form, i can't. she took away our phones. i just don't understand what to do. when the ukrainians come to fall on my knees or something, when i find myself on the front line, call us immediately i am not alone here, a group of people say that here in russia we will be jailed for 10 years usually it is partly desperate partly disappointed or confused because they do not fully understand how it works hotline and isn't it just a trap after establishing their location they are given further instructions they don't tell us which exactly we have n't been mobilized yet but we are already here i will specifically say confusing when to call to receive for additional information and to save time, go to our telegram channel i want to live that is, it is not a fake, it is the only channel that publishes all the official information

about the procedures and how everything happens, you do not need to leave your number because it identifies you, we really advise you to have an old model with you phone ok i'll think about it thanks goodbye this is a big part of the information war both sides need prisoners of war to free theirs to silence critics less force ukraine hopes this line will help weaken it more opponent and the urgent message that came before the program, the german bundestag adopted a resolution recognizing the holodomor as genocide of the ukrainian people. kyiv has been pushing for this decision for many years. last week, similar resolutions were praised by the parliaments of ireland and romania and the czech republic . an explosion rang out at the embassy of ukraine in spain, according to the spokesman of the ministry of foreign affairs oleg nikolenko, a

package arrived at the embassy, ​​which exploded during inspection in the hands of the commandant, the man was hospitalized, he is provided with medical assistance, there are no threats to his life, wrote nikolenko on facebook, despite the initial reports in the media that the letter had exploded, in reality it was about a package, later it was clarified at the embassy, ​​minister dmytro kuleba instructed to urgently strengthen the security of all ukrainian embassies abroad and emphasized that whoever was behind the organization of this explosion, they will not be able to intimidate ukrainian diplomats or stop their work in countering russian aggression and the reception center of ukrainian refugees opened in london for the opening ceremony the king of the united kingdom charles iii and the first lady of ukraine olena

zelenska personally visited -resources i will remind you that this week olena zelenska is on a trip to great britain, she spoke before the british legislators in the parliament and also had meetings with the prime minister of the country rishi sumnik and the queen consort of great britain camilla, the event organized by the wife of the monarch was dedicated to increased awareness of violence against women and girls and a documentary film about how the lives of ukrainian children were changed by the war was recently presented by british documentarians in the tape they showed the stories of children from kyiv, kharkiv , mariupol and other cities, i visited the presentation of the film in london my colleagues tetyana kharchenko and sam robinson ilya from the village of zirkuny in kharkiv oblast, which survived the russian occupation, describes his

everyday life during the war. he is only one of the heroes of the documentary children of ukraine, the author of which set out to tell the story of ukrainian children and teenagers who, against their will, became the war generation. i try not to work with children because it is emotional. extremely difficult. i filmed in ukraine in march and may and it was very traumatic. it is easier to work with soldiers , paramedics, with adults in general, children do not know how to lie, you look at their faces and understand what pain they go through one of the first screenings in britain predictably causes an emotional reaction i covered the war in chechnya syria unfortunately we get used to terrible news i think this film did an important thing it showed the story of ordinary children you will not see bloodshed in the film but the stories of children are told will force people who are parents themselves to look at the events in

ukraine differently and bring them closer to what is happening, this film brings into reality what is happening i was really worried about the children and families, if there was no war commissioned by the british tv channel itv, a representative of which is convinced that the decision to shoot the film was lightning fast, we wanted the british audience to understand that children in ukraine are the same as their children, that they have the same interests and want to do the same things what about your children, because they don't want to play, they want to have a playstation, it just so happened for various reasons that they have to live in underground shelters and hear the explosions of rockets and bombs from everywhere, peers of british people from ukraine tell them about completely a different reality about surviving on a few sweets in mariupol, dead bodies that were tried not to look at, air alarms and a mother who died while shopping for groceries, and between the lines about growing up that came to them too early and

serbia on the list of states that condemned russian aggression against ukraine, but at the same time it the only country claiming to join the european union that refused to introduce sanctions against russia, and the other day the president of serbia oleksandr vučech, commenting on the war in ukraine, said that he is not a russian, not a ukrainian and not an american who, according to him, all this gets mixed up and what he quotes does not justify or criticize anyone, but how to understand the position of the official belgrade, let's talk with the serbian journalist boris varga mr. borisa i welcome you on the air, how did you personally perceive such statements of the serbian president good evening yes, the redundant president oleksandr one must understand what kind of policy serbia has been pursuing in recent years, and this is sitting on two chairs, which means integration with the country and at the same time

good relations with moscow, and it is, as i said, for more than 10 years even now, in the conditions of war, such a policy is being pursued, and the results of such a policy do not in any way indicate that serbia is a candidate for the eu, this is indicated in particular by the latest survey commissioned by the state scientific foundation, according to which more than 80% of the surveyed citizens of serbia supports the improvement of relations with moscow and backs down against the sanctions as kibelgrad as a candidate for accession to c should implement against russia e by the way will depend on joining the sanctions against russia, and previous polls of public opinion at the beginning of russian aggression already indicated such similar

sentiments of the stepan society as at that time, 2/3 of the population now believe that in ukraine there is a war against russia. it is not surprising that the united states of america and nato are leading such sentiments what do you think these sentiments are related to, are they economic levers, for example, cheap, cheap gas, history, sentiments of society, in your opinion, do you associate pro-russian sentiments with what is considered serbian money in the conflicts of the 90s in the former yugoslavia, as well as with the declaration of kosovo's independence, such an atmosphere in serbia contributed to the rise to power of former radicals, a traditional electorate that is russofi and anti-western. and this is the serbian

progressive party, led by president oleksandr vučić, a fact and the fact that the russian president is an honorary citizen in the ash-13 cities and municipalities of serbia, including here where i am sitting in my new garden, which, by the way, also houses the central office of the oil industry of serbia. the owner is russia. so, as you said, for your native loyalty to moscow, the student president also received cheap gas in may, but in limited volumes. in serbia, there is a lot of talk about these historical and traditional ties with russia, but in practice it looks different. serbians go to work not in russia, but in the countries of the european union, and young people are interested in western universities, not russian ones. and what is the role of the mass media in the fact that

serbia remains a pro-russian center in europe , in short, serbia is probably the only country where in february some newspapers came out with a headline on the first states ukraine attacked russia and really it would not be a bad joke as if on a war on which a large part of serbia has its own as you have already heard but such a predominantly pro-russian view russia is trying to settle its influence and in the near future the tv channel rush tudy should start broadcasting in serbian as well. thank you for the conversation. it was serbian journalist boris varga. thank you. zenzumin held the post of general secretary of the chinese communist party and led china in 1989, after a harsh crackdown on demonstrators, under his leadership

, china's economy experienced rapid growth, the country increased its weight on the world stage, but what mark in history did the former leader of china leave ? to the world community, rushing from openness and rapid growth, as well as a strong policy of an economist and reformer, and as a somewhat eccentric person after the bloody crackdown on protesters on in 1989, china suffered international fear. so later this line was chosen as a compromise leader in the hope that he would unite supporters of a hard and more liberal line. he gave priority to market forces that provided china with the highest growth rate per capita of all major countries, but apart from political reforms remained and he was particularly criticized for persecuting the followers

of the palungbun religious movement, who were considered a threat to the party, under his leadership the transfer of hong kong from britain to china took place, china's accession to of the world trade organization and the hosting of the 2008 summer olympic games, dan tzu my was a showman who stood in stark contrast to the leaders who came before and after him and when he played ping pong , he sang or demonstrated his skills on the green guitar in a press conference with the then us president, white clinton lively discussions took place and jokes were heard. it is hard to imagine that this would happen now , even in his old age he still had supporters and he survived many rumors that he had already died, but his last public appearance was in 2019
