redoes them again, put them on the shelf, i would of course ask, what are we waiting for on the new year, but a special question. if you knew, i wouldn't bother to ask, in any case, you know, you always want to think that well, there must be some kind of miracle, though small, although it will be a miracle for us, it will be a victory over the enemy. well, this is, as they say, a well- deserved miracle, deserved by our troops, the armed forces, as people, the pelvis is very hot, breakfast , and i don’t want to say that tomorrow is the day of the armed forces of ukraine. thank you, congratulations, do it. something for our fighters, for our heroes, it is important because they are armed today, today we are all alive thanks to them being there at the front farewell to you now for your attention a news release from my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news good evening we are from ukraine good evening in bible broadcasts from ukraine live and from london. i'm yevgenia shadlovska and we have half an hour to talk about the main events of this day. for six years, the energy industry has been knocked down. the power has already

begun to be restored. russia hit ukraine with a missile, according to the authorities, most of the forces were knocked down. type, however, there are hits on energy infrastructure objects at most 60 dollars per barrel, will western countries be able to prevent russia from making money from oil by introducing these new restrictions, and how neighboring moldova also suffers from russian strikes on the energy infrastructure of ukraine, russia launched a missile attack on ukraine, fired more than 70 missiles, as reported by the ukrainian air

force, most of them more than 60 missiles were shot down in the government, the russians reported, hit energy facilities in three regions in kyiv, vinnytsia, odesa, in in many regions, the water , heating, and power supply have gone out. there is also information about the victims. they report two deaths in the zaporizhia region. it was not because of me that zaporizhzhia was also shelled. the crimean bridge is a bridge to the annexed crimea , which was damaged by an explosion in october, and putin seems to be checking how it was repaired precisely after those explosions. on october 10, russia inflicted the most massive after the start of a full-scale missile attack on ukraine, since then it has been repeating such attacks, although ukrainian intelligence claimed and now claims that this is not a response to the crimean bridge, according to intelligence data, the russians have long been planning such attacks in order to leave ukrainians without light and heat in the cold season and about today's

shelling we are talking with a military expert , the head of the ukrainian center for security and cooperation, serhiy kuzan, is in touch with us. in your opinion, such massive strikes as russia today is trying to exhaust the ukrainian air defense and find weak points in it. well, of course. but the main goal of such strikes is to leave us without energy, to leave us without light, without heat, and, in fact, to cause this social and humanitarian collapse for our country . there are indeed problems with communication, but our energy workers will really heroically cope with this already eighth wave of missile attacks . this is nothing new here. the russians are trying to find weak spots in our air defense , they launch wave after wave of these missiles, but our

air defense forces shoot down most of them, and by the way. this is what this wave is . they are much smaller than, for example, those that we, as a result of the previous wave, and this work of our e-e air forces and, by the way, our aviation was actively used to shoot down these russian missiles, that is, their entire strategy for bypassing our of air defense systems that they will find weak points, er, in fact, it can already be said that it did not work, there are indeed hits, but these hits are not critical, which caused the energy collapse of our country, at the same time, ukrenergo reported that there will be emergency power outages in all regions after of this 8th massive missile attack by russia, but still, how many missiles are still left in

russia, we should not entertain ourselves with hopes that there will be quite a few missiles left in russia, they will be enough. well, according to various calculations, again there will be enough of them until the end of this winter, and we can see, for example, on those missiles, the converted s300s, which, in fact, they converted from anti-aircraft missiles into land-class missiles, and so all our border territories, and this includes kharkiv oblast kherson region and mykolaiv region here and well, it takes a long time to list them, they will also be under attack. yes, of course, such missiles as, for example, calibers or х1,555, they are running out. ballistic missiles from kandera are already generally at the limit of a small mark, and this is namely the main missiles that is, which cause us the most damage and against

which we have the name of protection, but they have more cruise missiles, but our air defense system is also stronger . here it is the downing of missiles, it is the highest reason and the next waves of russian missiles, they will not cause us irreparable losses, all losses are recoverable and recovery already begins. actually, in the first days immediately after the shelling that is, these are really heroic our energy workers. and by the way, what is interesting is that another interesting feature is that the percentage of missiles that do not reach the destination increases, that is, they fall, for example, over the caspian sea. the fact that the russians are removing older missiles from conservation,

releasing them, and well. we count only those missiles that we shot down, which means that they were already in the air space of our country, but there are also missiles that simply did not reach eh to ukraine, that is, they did not reach the target and fell without reaching the target, that is, we can already see that the russians are getting worse and worse with their missile launches, and they usually collect them, we see that the interval for preparing launches for them is increasing, it is not seven days, that is, it is growing well, our air defense system, on the contrary, is strong and uh, as we can see, we are hurting them, we are also hurting them . sergey, please stay in touch. and we will also talk about what happened in russia at night, there were explosions at two military airfields. a gas tanker in the australian region exploded, the hungarians reported a drone attack and

were so damaged that two russian bombers were killed and wounded, what is known, how was this reported by the russian authorities , a bbc correspondent found out and blabbed, this has never happened, this has never happened. at six o'clock in the morning on monday, the russian the mass media and telegram channels reported on the explosions at russian strategic airfields and at once at two and almost simultaneously in engels podsaratov and in dzhagilev-podryzhny, long-range missile carriers are based on both airfields . such a component of the russian nuclear triad, planes that are capable of carrying nuclear weapons for unconfirmed information, a drone exploded on the runway of bentley, which damaged two tu 95 aircraft, bears according to the nato classification, there is also a report that two soldiers were wounded at dzhagilev airfields, as reported by ria novosti, the official russian news agency, a gas tanker exploded, there are victims, three people died, six more

soldiers were injured, but they do not say anything about the damage to the equipment yet, it is known from the airfield russian planes attack ukrainian cities and civil infrastructure and energy facilities, they attack ukrainian territory from afar and usually do not enter ukrainian airspace, and the next strike was today about the consequences of this attack. we still do not know, although there are already reports of casualties and destruction in relation to incidents at russian bases, the cause of the explosions has not yet been named, however, the press secretary of the kremlin, dmitry piskovsky, said that putin was informed about these explosions and this indicates that it was obviously not just an explosion a gas truck, because the russian ministry of defense did not talk about such little things until the explosions, and the ukrainian side usually does not confirm its involvement in similar incidents that have already happened in the past, although this was the first time that this happened with strategic airfields, but the adviser to the offices

of the ukrainian president, mykhailo podolyak, asked what if very often launch something into the airspace of other countries, sooner or later unknown flying objects will return to the place of departure, the hint is clear, but from engels to the front line, it is about 700 kilometers, and from dziago - about 470 500 km, in any case, according to official data, there are no means of defeating such a range in ukraine, but two months ago, in october, ukroboronprom announced that it was completing the development of an attack drone with a range of a thousand kilometers and a warhead somewhere around 75 kg, and just yesterday , bronprom spokeswoman natalya sad on the air informed the telethon that all the tests have been successfully completed and that they are moving to the final stage of testing the long-range kamikaze drone. she hoped that the drones would be used before

at the end of this year, it is difficult to say what this means, but russian telegram channels are literally boiling now because the strike was on the russian nuclear triad in the depths of russian territory, some demand quick retribution, and others cannot understand how this could happen, but they themselves answer this question and the planes stood in the open sky in rows, and the anti-aircraft defense of the soviet era was designed to repel strikes from other types of aircraft, missiles, but not drones, and already in the evening, the ministry of defense of russia announced that it was ukrainian drones that attacked the military airfields ukraine does not confirm its plans before this, and the head of the ukrainian center for security and cooperation, serhii kuzan, contacted us. actually, mr. serhii, in your opinion, what do such strikes on military facilities in the rear of russia indicate? well, they only testify to e- first of all, about the

growth of our military-industrial complex , about muscle building, and this, first of all, and secondly , about the fact that, strictly speaking, russian facilities in the rear are , well, quite unprotected and such strikes of course well, there will be more you and well, it is with them will happen more often, of course, that's why. actually, the russians will have to and what they will be doing is strengthening- strengthening their air defense system of such strategic objects because it is quite possible to reach them. that is, it is a distance of 500-700 km. this is in in the reach zone , well, actually speaking, unknown drones that are still unknown. as it became clear today. thank you , serhiy kozyn, the head of the ukrainian center for security and cooperation, was in touch with us. now

let's talk about the sanctions against russia. more precisely about russian oil. so, as of today, an embargo on russian oil is in effect in the european union, this means that ukraine and the eu cannot buy russian tanker oil, oil that is transported by sea , an exception was made for oil supplies by pipelines, an exception was made primarily for hungary, which threatened to block the eu embargo, and also for slovakia and the czech republic, an exception for countries whose entry, as explained due to their geographical location, is more difficult to get access to other sources of oil supply, but still the embargo on tanker oil has worked, these new ones have also appeared restrictions on the transportation of russian oil to other eu countries. the big seven are the richest countries in the world and australia agreed on the so-called so-called

price caps of $60 per year, that is, companies from these countries can transport and insure russian oil only on the condition that it is purchased at a price no more $60, take away, such a rather complex scheme, but its goal is simple, on the one hand, to make russia earn less from oil exports, and therefore have less money to fight in ukraine, and on the other hand, to avoid a jump in prices on the world market, ukraine believes there are not enough such restrictions in the world now, unfortunately, the discussion about price caps ended without serious decisions, that is, about limiting the export price of russian oil, because you cannot call it a serious decision to establish such a limit for russian prices that is quite comfortable for the budget of the terrorist state. and

it is only a matter of time when you will have to anyway use stronger tools. it is a pity that this time will be lost. it was not easy to agree. eastern europe, poland, lithuania , estonia called for setting a barrier that is twice as low. closer to the cost of russian production, which is estimated at $20 per barrel, but such countries as greece, cyprus, and malta, which depend on sea transportation, insisted on a higher price that corresponded to the prices for the russian urals brand on the market. until the last days, they still agreed on a price of $60 per barrel will be reviewed every two months, and here it is important to understand the place of russia in the world oil market, it is one of the largest players, will such restrictions work, the bbc columnist on european issues analyzes the full report of nato countries and not only provided

ukraine receives powerful military and financial aid, but at the same time, the same countries continue to buy russian oil, thus providing russia with money and the opportunity to continue the same war that they are trying to oppose, so that you can imagine the scale of the surpluses on russian accounts today is 265 billion dollars, a large part of these revenues was obtained precisely from fossil fuels. therefore, something must be done in order to stop financing russia, which continues the war, the challenge has always been how to harm russia and at the same time not hurt europe and the rest of the countries because don't forget if we just stop buying russian oil and gas it will lead to a rapid increase in this and western consumers already pay a lot for fuel also many people in the west have a hard time paying their heating bills so a few months ago the idea was voiced capping oil prices,

the solution was to pay no more than $60 per barrel, the west said ok, we will not allow any oil tankers from the european union, g7 countries or australia to transport russian oil, with the exception of be only if it is bought at a price not higher than 60 dollars, it is also very important not to allow insurance from these countries to be issued to tankers with russian oil, this is very important because 95% of insurance takes place in the countries of the european union. the idea was that it would hit the russian economy, but will not do the same with the event, president zelenskyi stated that this is not enough now, and russia is selling oil at a price of $60 per barrel. therefore, this will not bring changes, but many also think that russia can find other tangiers other companies that will provide insurance or they can

say that ok, we will not export anything now, but with the surplus that i described, they can relax for a certain period of time with their exports and still have a lot of money . but it seems that russia is already looking for ways to bypass the oil sanctions are classified routes and a shadow tanker fleet is being assembled, unknown buyers are buying vessels, western media are writing about it, in particular fenin shaltens, and we are in touch with an expert on energy issues, says the president of the analytical dixie group center olena pavlenko good evening , ms. olena, we are in touch with you in russia, they have already announced that they will not accept the maximum prices, what can russia do now in response to such sanctions , it is unlikely that russia can do anything in response to the sanctions, except to only state its dissatisfaction and you have already named one of the options for

how russia can look for a way out, it is to make some bypass schemes, for example, to buy tankers and try to transfer oil on its own, we know that certain schemes are already taking place, and the sale of oil under a foreign flag or mixing russian oil with other grades eh all these linguistic machinations are already happening russia simply i will try to continue doing them of course it will be more difficult to do it in the conditions of further restrictions on both the price and the volume of oil sales i can also to say that despite the fact that russia hoped i think even in the summer of this year that the restrictions for limiting the wall may determine for me still an increase in volumes and the search for new buyers it seems that in the new year there will not be

too many new buyers in russia because the economic the situation in the world is not so bright, not so good, many countries that planned to increase the purchase of oil are now actually revising their strategy, and in principle, even if russia wants to find new buyers somewhere in asia, i think it was quite difficult, but what forecasts, how much can russia earn from oil sales this year, it's a lot of money, eh. well, in the first half of this year, russia has already earned 120 billion dollars, so i think that it will earn, it can earn again in the second half of the year, but i can only repeat that eh- e in next year, this scheme that worked before with gas and the less gas is bought, the higher the price rises,

and russia still starts to earn a lot . it works incredibly well in our field, again , because it works the job you said about and because, after all, there is no such a significant demand for gas for oil, which used to be for gas, is a plus. i think it is very important for the countries of the european union, for the western countries that set the price ceiling at $60, but once every two months, it is revised downwards if the e- once a two months, let’s say it’s possible for two months for $10, the space price will be lower, uh, there won’t be such a terrible shock on the market, it’s unlikely that it will cause an increase in the price of other brands of oil, and on the other hand, russia will continue to receive less and less and less e profits for ukraine this, of course, will be extremely important course

, it is very important to reduce the number of countries that buy russian oil outside the g7 or the countries of the european union i mean china or india or turkey if these countries join of this union is not the purchase of russian oil, again for ukraine it will be extremely necessary and important, after all, we see there is an embargo on russian oil, what remains is russian gas, so can the eu get out of gas dependence on russia, it is trying to get out of gas dependence on russia in march , we can see the next stage of reducing the european union's dependence on russian gas. i think that the eu's strategy is to completely abandon russian gas within the next year. well,

probably realistically, it will have two place, we will be able to see it. the main thing is that when the war is over, those countries that are really having a hard time right now, such as germany, which is forced to very radically revise the energy balance and look for a replacement for russian gas, that these countries did not run back to buy russian gas it is over. so you can return to your previous business , you don't need to do this after the war, thank you, mrs. olena , we were contacted by olena pavlenko, an expert on energy issues. and just about how germany copes with the energy confrontation with russia next our material german business was created to last so that this huge economy works but in this bakery despite

the high season the mood is not too festive smartphone the cost of living has increased dramatically energy prices have risen our ingredients butter has doubled in price i don't i can translate all this to buyers demic pauses german christmas markets are coming back but now i'm worried about ill health and how to pay the bills, it's all because of russia, because of putin a we pay for it the country was heavily dependent on russian energy sources its government tried to ensure gas supplies for the winter but now it has to make sure that german citizens can afford it so in december the government pays a monthly bill for gas to households and small businesses and from january germany will limit

electricity prices and gas, the ministers have increased payments and most people here have already received their 300 euros, all this costs the country approximately 300 billion euros, the gas bill has not yet arrived, so we will see what will he be, that there will be help, but nothing is being done, chancellor offsholz could raise his popularity among the germans and his european partners are not too impressed with the chancellor's spending plans, in the end he resisted calls to limit these on gas for the entire eu, so there are interested in whether it is really for schulz germany's interests are in the first place, i think it's the opposite here. it's just the stabilization of europe. germany is the decisive factor in this. we just saw how the world was divided, the economic centers shifted, look at america. china, we in europe must be sure that we are not

lagging behind for financial aid, and german families and businesses will still face high bills, and germany must preserve vital sources of energy. the gift season has just begun and many have already had to tighten their belts. before the power outage after the russian attack on ukraine, moreover, a missile fell on the territory of the country near the ukrainian border not for the first time, and we are joined by a review on security issues representative of the analytical center ukrainian prizma anna shelest anna i welcome you on the air in ukraine there is no light in moldova there are problems with light why moldovan energy is so dependent on the ukrainian network well here there are several factors , firstly because it is a general soviet system where quite a lot was tied system of the bottom to the

other and a plus is always, for example, the south of the odesa region was dependent on the opposite of the situation in moldova, so here, on the one hand, it is precisely the consequences of this soviet system, and secondly, because any interruptions in the ukrainian system can directly affect the moldovan system after both countries switched off from the russian electrical system in february of this year. and in the same way, moldova is trying to get out of gas dependence on russia, will it be possible to do it, and they have been working on it for a long time . and this is not a question that has arisen in the last nine months, but the latest decisions and the latest act which they are really helped by the fact that they managed to launch one pipeline from romania, that is why they are now partially receiving from there and this is a big step forward

, because before that we understand that moldova could not make many political decisions because it was 100% dependent on the russian federation. and now work is underway to find alternative ways, not only through romania, but also possible delivery of purchases on common markets, that is, the issue of energy security in the last two years with the arrival of sandu has become a matter of national security at the same time, price increases are taking place, there are protests, the energy crisis, will the pro-european government hold out in moldova? is a rematch of the pro-russian forces possible? well, on the one hand, we really see that two political parties and the socialists of former president dodon, who will now go to the rest, and the political party of shora, who are completely dependent from the russian federation, moreover, he is actually wanted, there are too many frauds, they are constantly promoting the country for certain protests, but the arrests and

investigations that have taken place in the last few months demonstrated that in fact this activity is anti- moldovan, you can say that it was fully sponsored by the russian federation , at the moment we see more decisive actions of the moldovan government, first of all, the leadership of law enforcement agencies, who are trying to do this and show it publicly, this is also important for the population when they understand that it is not clean politics sponsored by the russian federation, and secondly because of the actions of the russian federation on the territory of ukraine. the political dichotomy in moldova and the other sentiments here are not necessarily pro-russian or pro-european, but the understanding that russia is a threat in the politics it leads. i think it is present, although the political situation in the country is extremely difficult, it has always been like this and understood that the competitors of president sandu

will always use any weakness or any problem against her. thank you , anna shelest was with them and a viewer on security issues , and that's all for today. you can read more news on our bbc.ua website. i'll say goodbye to you tomorrow i'll see you, i suffer from rheumatism. it's arthritic, it's impossible to get used to it, it doesn't allow me to move. i've tried everything. and at the pharmacy, i bought a yellow dolgit cream. it saves me from the pain of rheumatism, reduces swelling and improves the mobility of the joints. the only yellow cream for pain in the joints and back.
