she is being slandered over the international community, well, she just slapped everyone on the international community, and this happened five or six years ago, and unfortunately everyone missed this case, so there are really no consequences for them. - after all, there are conventions, but it is better that our armed forces give them a hard time so that there are no horses in the zaporizhzhia region. we must pay tribute to a very large number of crimeans, as well as the russians, the colonizers of the russians the occupiers are directed to melitopol, in principle, civilians or semi-civilian hybrid civilians in order for them to help them strengthen their line of defense. of the country about its restoration, about help, and emanuel, the president of france, noted that well, we are already

on the way to demilitarization - demilitarization of the zaporizhia nuclear power plant, at least as it became clear to us to remove the equipment from there, possibly the occupiers and the contingent will agree, they will allegedly leave what is there now and are they really planning any changes at this regime object so far without changes eh well there, how did i appeal to blow on the water and not criticize me i unfortunately cannot not criticize this international community, but i believe in macron, he is still the leader of a large european country, he is one of the leaders of the big seven countries and a country in which 70 or more percent of nuclear energy is used, respectively, he understands what he is talking about, and he sometimes calls the kremlin about this to this monster we will to hope that emmanuel macron will not be as empty-headed as we have some international organizations that have been talking about this for many, many

months, but in fact the state we do not have a question not in statements, the question is in real actions and the question is in the consequences for the occupier of the aggressor as for the fact that they violate all possible rules of international law, it's just logic. yes, we have an anniversary today, in fact, we are celebrating the memory of chernobyl, and since december 14, this sarcophagus was built today together with the guys who work at the nuclear plant of ours and who were liquidators simultaneously recalled the story of 1986 when this accident was allowed to happen due to the stupidity of the management system in the first place, and today, too, it is from the kremlin that the aggressor is again trying to provoke a new nuclear catastrophe. it is clear that we are ready, our guys are all ready, but not wanted it to happen again. and why should the international community take more effective measures, mr. oleksandr, but there is also the question of whether

they are trying to use the bridgehead of the zaporizhzhia npp and the adjacent territories for some well, yesterday there was such a thing, it's such a dead end, in fact, the kokhov reservoir is huge and it's 5-9 km away, they just use the nuclear power plant as a cover for shelling there, right across from the mangane power station - this is nikopol, dnipropetrovsk region, there are 150,000 big cities there, and there are 40,000 there people, respectively, and they are blocking the npp, they just shoot in the air from these hailstones from everything that gets there, it’s nearby, i’m saying the distance is already in the area of ​​dnipropetrovsk region and nikopol, they don’t try yes, listen, let’s go they are trying there, believe me, let them swim there and drown there, i don't think they have any opportunities and chances there, the question is whether weapons were withdrawn around the nuclear plant around it at all . in the storage or in

some objects after the infrastructure and the drive begins, big problems will begin. and for this, we need to put even more pressure on them regarding the fact that they are shelling, yes, they are shelling dnipropetrovsk region , especially these two communities, they suffer practically every day, but the biggest cynicism is that they are doing it by covering their heads with the objects of the nuclear plant, sir, what do you think are the prospects , in particular, it is about the removal of russian heavy artillery from the territory of the zaporizhia nuclear plant, the secretary general of money a couple of weeks ago voiced his certain optimism, yes, well and we understand that the so-called verification track between grossy and the kremlin on the other hand is ongoing, if a corresponding principled decision were to be approved, which could be a suitable, so to speak, algorithm of actions in in the case of this diversion, and in general, is some appropriate formula being discussed? look

, this is currently the competence of our ministry of foreign affairs on energy . connection, we understand what is happening directly in the city, directly around the nuclear plant, and of course we participate there in those processes in which we have the competence to participate. we also hope that mr. money, his words will finally have a practical, practical plane, and there will be not only talks about deepening , improving the withdrawal, there will be a real withdrawal and a reduction in the escalation of tension around this association . of our telethon 3:35 p.m. we are moving on , let's talk now about the situation in dnipropetrovsk oblast

, call us kateryna nemchenko, mp ms. kateryna of the dnipropetrovsk regional council congratulations to you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes well, i will start with the fact that i was very interested in its veiling let's just say that barrage mines went off on the coastline of nikopol about this late yesterday evening yevgeny yevtushenko informed is that the mines went off on the coastline, the residents who live nearby heard a series of explosions, according to yevtushenko, when asked about the number of victims, and who exactly got into the minefield, the fighters answered that the residents of the city were not injured, but there will be cancer are satisfied and interpret this story however you want, so to speak. perhaps you are aware of whether the enemy is trying to push now to the other side of the kakhovsky reservoir through the dnieper. well , as for how they are trying, because they are not trying to

cross, i will unfortunately not be able to comment on it. and let it be the general staff comments i think it's better , here's the only thing i can say about the nikopol district in general, that as we know, every night, every day, with the territory occupied by enemy cities, heavy artillery hits nikopol, for example, tonight, this is according to official information, as they commented to us , more than 50 shells were hit, this is heavy artillery, in nikopol, there were damaged, if i am not mistaken, private houses , farm buildings, and according to manganese, there are also seven private houses and, of course, gas pipeline lines electricity transmission and so on. well,

some people are left without electricity and without communications. but now the situation is being corrected as much as possible, ms. kateryna, we would like to ask you about the situation with electricity heating and so on, we we understand that the story is extremely serious, especially considering the fact that we are waiting for massive russian strikes. well, according to what traffic is happening in your glorious lands now, there is less nepo, we have heating and light, uh, there are stabilizing eyes. these blackout schedules change every day today again they are called emergency and all the schedules that were before do not work ah, but in principle by districts the city of dnipro itself, as far as i know, has communication and heating and

water and light, if we are talking about the same, of course nikopol district as far as i know , even before the attacks of this night, people suffer from power outages for more than 10 hours a day, and as the local residents say that there is often light, more often there is no light than there is, that is, in some regions of the same in the city of nikopol, the lights are turned on literally for a few hours a day, and the rest of the time it is simply not there. well, not the electricity, not the power lines, the only ones suffering is the gas transport infrastructure, if we are talking about the attack of the russians from hail and hurricanes again, in nikopol and marganets, the gas pipeline was damaged there in the last day, do

you know anything about heat for people, well, there is no light, we understand, but when there is no heat in such conditions, and the dnipropetrovsk region is now covered in snow, and the communal services in the oblast are also working with this in the center, what about the heat? well, as far as i know , the nikopol district generally has heating. it switched to autonomous heating a long time ago, but of course , when they are damaged, well, from the regional, in the sense of the regional heating, but when all these are damaged lines and, of course, everything gets damaged, and well, there are cases when it is repaired quickly, and there are cases when people really sit for a very long time, then without heat, well, i don’t know what can be said here, because communal services work normally in our country, but of course there is not enough time or resources to

repair everything very quickly, so of course the problems remain . thank you, ms. kateryna. kateryna nemchenko, a member of the dnipropetrovsk regional council, was currently working in our live marathon, and the news is important from europe at the moment. so, the european parliament approved the provision of 18 billion euros in macro-financial assistance to ukraine in the 23rd year, the members of the european parliament approved the regulation that allows transferring a support package of 18 billion euros to ukraine after hungary vetoed the initial proposal, the parliament adopted it under the so-called urgent procedure proposed by the council of the european union a change in the regulation of macro-financial assistance plus, which allows 26 member states to act as guarantors of the loan as an alternative to the budget of the european union. so , the really good news is that we have another wonderful

i have news that france and italy will provide ukraine with the mamba air defense system. the last difficulties that prevented the delivery of the mamba air defense system to kyiv from the mamba air defense system seem to have been resolved. their needs were noted by the french ambassador to ukraine thien defon, according to the information of the french publication france immediately reacted positively to the possibility of supplying these systems however, the issue has still been discussed with italy, well, we hope that the french and italians will be such trendsetters, you know, in terms of providing us with air defense systems for their other european colleagues, because germany is still very cautious when it comes to their air defense capabilities, we understand

that very much we are promised a lot and very often we receive one or another individual examples or cases, but the issue of quantity in this given situation is key serhiy shakunov officer of the armed forces of ukraine territorial defense luhansk region with us on serhiy, we congratulate you. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes . good day. the regional military administration of the luhansk region reports that the forces of the luhansk region have made certain successes in the direction of svatovo and kliminnaya, and were just as cautious. in some positions where a bridgehead can be formed for further movement, i will not ask about the details, eh, hint at least how far from these settlements the defense forces are now and the line of demarcation runs, yes, the line of demarcation runs to you

on the border of luhansk region and donetsk region, the muscovites have dragged uh to luhansk region to a large number of all kinds of impure wagners from sirkodilyov, and the modifiers of the chmobics are actually a very large number, that the artillery war is not active, the carving is different from the bahmut, we can confirm what they said there, the state can already be very there is a long way ahead, we are waiting again, we are waiting for the results, because the weather conditions were very bad, now morozets has fallen a little, so let's see, the situation is such that the war is in full swing, but serhiy, you mentioned about morozets, what prospects from our side to break through the

enemy's defense line and how much the enemy has concentrated a large number of people in your direction. yes, we understand that the number of mobs and vywagnerites should still be equipped with appropriate armored vehicles and not only them, so that not only the equipment, but even today, they are fully armored vehicles they help because without them it is impossible to do anything with the armor because three days ago there was such a mess here that it was simply impossible to come so that and to go to the positions and evacuate the wounded - it is very difficult so that it is necessary. well, since the re-defense currently does not have such equipment, except for cars that are volunteer. it is very difficult. ugh, what is it, mr. serhiy, regarding the recently occupied settlements of luhansk oblast, the key settlements

of severodonetsk, lysychansk, we are also talking about rubizhne. do you have any information is possible from local residents, what is happening there now, are there any trending reports that the occupiers are not going to stay in these settlements for a long time, new ones were seen, read and were information that after kharkiv skupyansk they escaped and sosvatova and fled from rubizhny lysychansk, what is happening there, well, now you see me being caught, the fact that i am on the phone now, it is very difficult, so there is another matter, there are military duties, we we fulfill them, we do everything to free luhansk ukraine from this minority, so i can honestly say that there is not even a minute to call and find out about serhiy, and everything else, understanding how difficult it is to find time to

join the company. thank you very much for him serhiy shakun an officer of the armed forces of ukraine of the territorial defense of the luhansk region was in touch with us, who carefully outlined all the difficulties we are facing now. our defense forces, however, continue to advance in the direction of svatov . from the new york times so we quote american journalists ukraine is stepping up efforts to isolate the weakening of russian forces in the strategically important city of melitopol and around him on the eve of what is expected to be the next important stage of the ukrainian offensive war with the aim of ousting russian troops from the south of ukraine. and

the railway line connecting russia with the occupied crimea and other occupied territories in the south of ukraine, we will talk about this and other things with ivan a kerach expert from express slava to ukraine . good day. glory to the heroes. they just spoke with serhiy shakun about the situation in the luhansk region. he states that there are so many russians that there are certainly no less than in the direction of bakhmut and in general in the east of our country, they are pressing exactly the number of our e the military and politicians are already raising the question of how to counter this, but the point defeat of their clusters by heimers no longer brings the desired effectiveness, although it definitely contributes a lot to improving the situation, cluster munitions, many believe that this is a story about something that is absolutely forbidden, something that cannot be used, but the russian federation resorts to using such ammunition. and what do

we have with the prospects of cassettes, if you can, tell me, well, except let's start with the fact that we also have soviet-made cassette ammunition in service the very nomenclature that you used, the russian federation is just who, the specificity is that we can use such ammunition exclusively for military purposes, first of all, and secondly, we still have a significant stock of ammunition in terms of objective real smaller, that's why it arose now, that's why. at this stage, it's an open question, what do we need to replenish in addition to stockpiles of acid ammunition? well , because the soviet remnants will soon be exhausted on the one hand, we if we had projectiles , anti-reflective projectiles m-30a1 with tungsten fillers, which are precisely intended for the destruction of the enemy's manpower, on which the m-142 himers m270 can be used, is it visible except so at this stage, our american allies decided that this would be enough well, especially since 180 tungsten

balls in one in one missile. well, this is quite a large firepower, as for other ammunition that actually appears, the names of which we can read. 26 they , let's say so, were written off even in the us army since 2008, well, purely because within the framework of the so-called ottoman process, well, it's so difficult for them to imagine who were then on the island of the western countries of that time that they, let's say, none of this decided that cluster munitions should be banned because it seems to be the practice of local conflicts. it was shown that 3% of such ammunition does not seem to explode and then harm the civilian population . the breath was massively removed from armaments and put into storage,

which in the usa and great britain and in other countries besides the west, eh, there is one drawback in these shells, not only that they are unguided, but also a lower firing range of only 45 km, which also works out here that when trying to use this m 26, our himerson will have to put under the possibility of a strike response from the soviet hurricanes and tornadoes, which is very dangerous, as for the dpcm projectiles, well , judging by everything, the americans managed to waste them, well, let's say that they will be wasted somewhere, otherwise, the russians would have already in 2019 border, the americans would not succeed. let 's say that the program for a new promising cluster projectile for the 155 mm caliber artillery artery was started. would be ready to give it to find those without announcing it well, because russia really trampled all these conventions a long time ago, let's just say, and just

an illustration of what we need, an illustration of the fact that they can give us such weapons, you know , in the kherson direction when we germany gave rockets up to m-270, which were formally decommissioned according to the article on cluster weapons. yes, it turns out that there were no such rockets formally in germany, but there are russian ones here. let's say it would be like that they would give it, but apparently the e-m-26 will be ineffective now. and dpcm, well, apparently the reserves were wasted, so this is all still revolving at the level of political discourse. and why not give us cluster shells, and because they are not there? uh, yes, an interesting combination in in any case, we understand that the enemy is trying to concentrate in the east of donetsk and luhansk regions, as it turned out, and the new york times suggests that melitopol will probably become the next front of the war, so melitopol

is under temporary enemy occupation there. we understand that everyone is waiting for the stabilization of the weather, mr. ivan, we would like to ask you to tell us what is the importance of melitopol and, in general, what do you think the situation is like in the zaporozhye direction, for example. the corridor between the temporarily occupied crimea and donbas, roughly speaking, is there a railway between them, then the peritoneum of the russian occupation defense, yes, and they came up with it, let’s say that there is too much many transport communications are included in the russians in this direction, and it turns out that if the x-ray collapses , that is, the railway connection, the road connection, then, well, they can continue to have

such very peculiar specific cascade processes , because, for example, now, in fact , russia can provide a single full-fledged logistic artery, well, this actually from donbas there to melitopol, i.e. by rail from mariupol to volnovakha or from donetsk to volnovakha and the crimean bridge is actually out of order, even empty trucks are not allowed there well, if the transport communications in melitopol will be cut, the question will arise for the russians about how to supply ammunition and other fuel supplies to the troops in the zaporizhia direction in the left bank of kherson oblast . will be cut, it turns out that the russians actually have a certain strategic paralysis because , judging by everything, it is more important for them to keep crimea than the east of ukraine, how will they be in such conditions holding crimea is an open question because their ferries, well, in fact, do not work, and there is no

need for these powerful amphibious ships of the black sea fleet of the russian federation if the occupation contingent on the crimean peninsula is also not enough, that is why this point is important. troops, well, it’s quite early, purely because we actually don’t have a lot of free resources and forces that could be sent there, everything that was free is now restraining, stopping the resistance fighters under bakhmut and on to the luhansk region, i allow that the land offensive on melitopol will not begin until lessons on all these frontiers are stopped. the fact is that dmytro kuleba, the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, suggested that russian troops may try to renew a large-scale offensive on ukraine in january- february 2023. simply assumes this possibility and calls to be ready for this, although we cannot yet say that the initiative is again in the hands of the russians, this is his

statement and this is his assumption in principle echoes what deputy minister of defense hanna malyar said on the air of one of the ukrainian tv channels, that there is a need to restore those soldiers who were wounded in the war, and these things are difficult to predict, because mobilization depends on the needs of the war; in addition, there are losses and the need to restore even those people who are currently fighting need to be replaced, the next wave of mobilization may be announced at the beginning of 2023, so, ivan, are these signals that at the beginning of the 23rd year, at the end of the current winter, we will be waiting for the russians and we should be really ready for this well, in fact, if the representatives of the military and political leadership talk about it, you know that well, unfortunately, such a storm can happen, but on the other hand, it is worth making some notes that, first of all, we are talking about the perspective of one or two months during this time something may change because, for example, the russians are

obviously trying to restore their personnel units under this offensive attempt, but who said that the russians will probably have to abandon these personnel units in a fragmented manner in other areas front, well, for example, under the same bakhmut or the new afghan direction on or try to pretend they are on zaporozhye, so here it is worth making an amendment even to the fact that the russians will have to revise their initial plans from the other side, how is it that the russians do not have the initiative on the field now battle, well, this does not mean that they will not try to take any offensive actions, because even the actions of the russians under bakhmut can be qualified as offensive , well, they are moving, they are trying to move it's stupid for us to attack our positions, it's another matter that their offensive is unsuccessful as always. well, judging by this, the russian offensive has been announced, which should take place in two months after that, it will have approximately the same result, taking into account the fact that the

russians have their own nuances with logistics, well , in fact, there are only two directions of their actions that are quite easily predictable, this or that, the east of ukraine from those rising borders that they have, or , after all, this is the threat from belarus that they are talking about. so, in january or february, it is possible that the russians will finally have the opportunity to implement the scenario of an invasion from the side of belarus. well, if, of course , returning to point 1, if the russians have enough vinnytsia personnel who will not be lost again in the battles against the armed forces of the people's army of personnel troops and equipment by ivan from the other side , if we believe the voice of america, which sources in the pentagon reported that it is possible that the patriots will reach us, i do not know whether it is about one petri system or about several do you have information about them, so our agency strongly suggests that it is possible that this is the beginning of the

preparation of contact for such a long-term process so that in the end we received f16 fighters because, let's say, the volumes that we receive, patriot, well , it is not enough for the qualitative strengthening of the anti-aircraft missile component of our air defense the entire territory of the country, but by the way, on a stretch doctrine , the purpose of the petriv complex is, in general, to cover strategically important airfields where there is , so to speak, important aviation for strikes on ground targets, well, here is the logic, before moving to give us new f16 or f15 fighters, we need to create, accordingly, an anti-aircraft umbrella on the airfields where they can stand, well, in the patriot, in the development of the warehouses, e-e, they require such an alternate development, that's why the whole thing starts with one fire junior batteries, i.e. for four launchers . well, where is one there and another one? let’s say that there can be four more, considering the example with us. when we started with two complexes, and here still

on the approach, there should be 8 more from the other side, they said. with aviation experts who emphasize that they do not yet see preparations for the transfer of any aircraft to us due to the fact that in ukraine the infrastructure is not being prepared for this story, the airfield and so on, mr. ivan, you know, in 2011, such an interesting story came out that we we all missed the myrhorod airfield, it is clearly not adapted to nato standards, but one of the fighter wings, well , it is our tactical aviation brigade according to the constitution . well, roughly speaking, sit down in american f16s for joint exercises with our myrhorod aviator it did not prevent any problems with the infrastructure, then it did not arise, for i ask when there were joint exercises with the americans of the national guard, not in 15.2018, there were no problems with the infrastructure in the end , and all the good people, they miss one in general, the americans have technicians to
