nine residents of the kherson region were injured as a result of russian strikes. this was reported in the regional military administration in kherson, the occupiers killed two people, another six people were wounded among the dead, a volunteer was helping people during the shelling, the enemy is attacking the city center for the second day in a row, in the morning they hit an object in critical infrastructure, the russians made 58 strikes on the border of the sumy region. this was reported in the regional military administration. the enemy shelled the krasnopil community twice with mortars in total there were 43 air raids in the myropol community, 15 enemy mines exploded on the outskirts of one of the border villages, in both cases without casualties or destruction, the russians are trying to capture bakhmut, but they are courageously holding the defense there because of the sadness, the situation at the front is the most difficult now, this is not the first attempt to surround the city, but our military did not give to do this, the russians had huge losses, so they temporarily abandoned these attempts, the

deputy minister of defense of ukraine, anna malyar, said about it on the air of the tv channel. they are gathering their targets and want to go to the borders of donetsk and luhansk regions. of course, there are fierce battles and victory, as our military is standing. of course, there is a high price for all this, but the armed forces of ukraine are very courageous today defending our territory, the effectiveness of the ukrainian air defense system has taken a toll 80% the minister of defense of ukraine, oleksiy reznikov, told about this in an interview with the guardian, according to him, ukraine uses the air defense system of the soviet-style systems provided by its partners, as well as improved mobile machine guns, as an example, the minister mentioned that on december 5, during a massive attack, ukrainian defenders shot down more than 60 of more than 70 missiles launched by russia. pope francis

called on believers around the world to celebrate this year's christmas a little more modestly than before, with more modest gifts. the head of the catholic church spoke during the general audience, he also called on the poles to be patient in sharing with those in need, see the drivers there, great suffering there are starving and suffering from the cold, many people die because there are no doctors and medical personnel nearby, let's not forget christmas so in peace with the lord yes, but with the ukrainians in our hearts and let's make this specific жек for them their slogan is always the first

where it is difficult the first there where it is dangerous the first there where the enemy, the paratroopers are always at the point of attack and in the epicenter of the battle, the paratroopers are always at the height. glory to the airborne assault troops of the armed forces of ukraine. they work in the dark, giving us light even during missile attacks, regardless of the weather and danger day and night, they do everything possible so that we have warmth and communication, let it be with interruptions,

this is prometheus, who bring us life, people who have already become heroes, although you will not see them in the news, who will dispel any darkness, our real knights of light, thanks to you we will survive the winter, energy is a must. thank you, the rules of a warm country. kitchen. thank you for boiling only the necessary amount of water. your care warms better than a cup of stronger tea. for yourself and your loved ones, supplies of potable technical water, warm clothes, food, charged batteries, find out in advance and save the contacts of medical institutions and

the addresses of emergency services from official websites or help services and the administration of your settlement , get ready already for us, we will defeat the darkness together, provide ukraine with tanks and more air defense, he called on this the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi , a country of the european union, he also insists on providing ukraine with longer-range artillery and missile systems that could speed up the end of the russian aggression, the head of state explained that the defense support now should be no less than in the past nine months, i ask each foreign minister of the european union countries to decide what specifically you can do to increase the amount of air defense supplies, and modern tanks do not have any rational reason why ukraine should not get them right now, i ask you

to show leadership, the one who will be the first to provide modern tanks will open this possibility of supply to the whole world and will be remembered as one of the most important defenders of freedom in our time, it can provide ukraine with tanks and airplanes, does russia have the resources to continue the war, who and how will help ukraine next year, our colleagues and military expert dmytro gromakov talked about these issues, what about friends, number, we continue our information hour in this part as well let's talk about e-e packages because there are a lot of them, we hope that in the 23rd year there will be the same aid packages from our partners for our armed forces of ukraine dmytro hormakoivskyi, the expert is already with us, we welcome you mr. dmytro vitay so, for the usa, such good news arrived the other day

. regarding the next package of military aid in the amount of 275 million dollars, in particular, the pentagon has already included in this package of military aid 155 mm heimer missiles, ammunition, humvee military vehicles, as well as generators. how do you evaluate this aid? see what after all, we emphasize on a-a tanks, airplanes, airplanes, and anti-aircraft defense equipment, and recently what we were promised was delivered there, in particular, the french or spanish hacker or irish hacker, so far there is more news about them in this direction, there was no, well, here it is necessary to understand that this aid is determined by the needs of the military on the battlefield, and therefore its volumes and

suppliers are determined at the appropriate time, and due to the circumstances and the circumstances and needs that are formed on the front line, and perhaps this help will come when the plans of our military are clear to our partners and when there is a need for this weaponry, the pentagon analysis is fresh, but they say that the russian federation will use all its own reserves of shells by the beginning of 2023, and then the question arises. and what will happen next? in what way, considering piskov’s last statement, he also commented on president zelenskyi’s plan to withdraw russian troops from the territory of ukraine by christmas. what piskov said about this can not be discussed even when they they will fight. if we run out of ammunition. well,

somehow they will have enough forest. they will have to cut something else there for me. that is, the question is not that they will run out of ammunition in general , because they also have the production of these ammunition in there are also remnants of them, it is possible that the fire density will be less there, but this will definitely not be the final solution to the military issue for ukraine, and that is why the piskovs say that no one will withdraw russian troops just like that, and we will still have to liberate them liberate our territory ugh, well, this is also from the series when we heard from russian propagandists that if necessary, well, russia will withstand any kind of pressure from nato, the united states and everyone

else, and we, if necessary, we will go from the big cities to the fields somewhere to the forests and to other there eh that means rural settlements will eat roots and nuts yes. if we are already remembering what you said. and if we are serious, well, let's talk about the defense strength and capabilities of the russian federation against the background of the help that, after all, we will receive in the future and are receiving now well, we often hear about the restoration of, let's say, the production of ukroboronprom shells there, and recently there was news from the czechs that they are ready to involve our specialists of the defense-industrial complex to production of weapons, again, already on our territory, we often heard from the relevant minister and from our government officials that we can jointly organize enterprises somewhere abroad in order to produce weapons for the needs of this war in russia, such possibilities are largely because,

well, you will agree that there are always such, well, in the information space, a message appears that the russians are carrying guns there from the time of the second world war, old models of tanks, that they have ak kalashnikov assault rifles, they are rusty, that acquired all the time they do not shoot that the shells there are half alive half dead because they were stored there for a long time somewhere in the wrong conditions, that is the potential of the russian federation to wage a long protracted war, which i am announcing putin, he is and if so, for how much well, i think this is the potential they have if they were to acquire, no matter how much their munitions fail, yes, they still have enough of them to initiate hostilities. so far, our front line has not experienced a significant reduction in these stocks

, and the situation around bahmut she is around avdiivka very demonstrative i would not today somehow belittle the potential of the russian federation to prove, let's say, a conventional war because they have the main thing, they still have a lot of human flesh that they throw into this furnace of war and based on the fact that this is a country that four times more ukraine in terms of population and capabilities. we need, let's say yes, the amounts of aid that are going to us today. they do not give us the opportunity to introduce any more or less productive and offensive actions and until we

we will equalize this potential, we will touch in the same place and that is why the russians also do not go through, i repeat, just like that, with our land, you are talking about declaring martial law and calling all the men. well, maybe this will happen, but definitely not in the next month, because so far e- let's put it this way, the foot of a ukrainian soldier has not set foot on the land of the russian federation, and in those borders in which it was recognized by international law, they can call this war whatever they want, they do not have a war, they

have a special military operation that does not involve the introduction of martial law and does not involve general mobilization, so it will be a different fact, the wave of mobilization, but, well, there are still 300,000 of them conscripted and stuffing themselves. why exactly did putin cancel his annual press conference? and that is one of the reasons that they are afraid that this communication with journalists will provoke an unauthorized discussion about the so-called special military operation. you are talking about the fact that they do not care and that they can to call to your loves to your army, regardless of

legal status, regardless of martial law, but you see that we already see that there are certain sprouts of some kind of break in public opinion, mr. dmytro, can you hear us, uh, i understand that we have a connection disappears with mr. dmytro dmytro and dmytro has already returned so questions have been heard about the data of the british intelligence regarding the reasons for the cancellation of putin's annual press conference fear that at this press conference during this communication with journalists there may be unexpected unpleasant questions about the success of the so-called special operation well, i would not pay much attention to it, because i do not believe that there can be

any unpleasant questions for putin in such measures, therefore, most likely, there are other reasons, but definitely not the nature of these questions perhaps this is generally the background against which this press conference will be organized, that is, there are no significant victories and there are no significant divisions of ghosts for er, well, communication as such to explain when there is learning, they are not ready if we talk about support of our partners, the first thing that comes to mind is, of course, the support of the united states of america and, in particular, one of biden's recent statements: yes, we will not send our troops to ukraine for a war in ukraine with russia, and the same

applies to nato, but we will continue ukraine should be supported, if you speak the language of numbers , take the 23rd year. the united states allocates more than 800 billion dollars for defense in its budget. 800 million dollars are set aside for ukraine's needs in the budget. there are a little more dollars, but if you compare for example, with the us spending on the afghan campaign, it was 2.4 trillion e. do we have ham generators, let's say so? from a jeep it is of course good, but we need heavy weapons, tanks, planes, heimers, long-range missiles, etc. the question here

is what will be required to ask. it is necessary to think about how we can solve these issues ourselves. thank you and the opportunity to join the conversation. dmytro gormakoi, a military expert, was with us in this part. the occupiers took 40 children from lysychansk and severodonetsk to the territory of russia. this was reported in the center of the national the russians are resisting, conducting total medical examinations of ukrainian children in order to send them to forced treatment in children's camps, this is only a reason for deportation; children are being forced to believe that ukraine has unleashed a war center the national resistance calls on parents to leave the temporarily occupied territories and not become

hostages of the enemy despite what is happening directly in kherson, people remain steadfast , we remind you that we work for you live and inform you even in the morning about what is happening in kherson, in particular 80% of the city today there is light, but in the region itself the situation is more complicated generators for all critical facilities are not enough but i asked the residents to evacuate to safe regions if necessary, we are moving on, mr. yanushevich, we will soon hear what he has shown, the tv channel is happy, in fact, we can do it now, unfortunately, the generators are still very, very few. to date, we have managed to provide

almost all medical facilities with generators. is a priority for us, as we all understand everything related to the provision of generators for our critical structures, all this is still in need today, we are conducting negotiations and constant work with by our large donor organizations, to date, in kherson oblast as a whole, electricity has been restored in 60 populated areas to restore electricity, 34 brigades are working to restore light, the occupiers are trying to advance in the bakhmut and avdiiv directions, the russians want to improve the tactical position in the lyman direction, and in kupyan and zaporizhia, groups of this informs the general staff that the occupiers launched two missile strikes and fired five times from multiple rocket launchers; instead , the armed forces of ukraine launched multiple strikes on the enemy's ammunition depots in the zaporizhzhia region , in which direction the armed forces of ukraine can continue

to go on a counteroffensive, does ukraine have enough ammunition and supplies for this, when the patriot anti-aircraft missiles can appear in ukraine, these topics were discussed by our colleagues from the military-political viewer , oleksandr kovalenko, what friends, thank you for continuing the broadcast with us olga nice nazar long oleksandr kovalenko military and political reviews are already with us we welcome you mr. oleksandr congratulations well we present you as a military and political commentator we will discuss the military-political component. of course, in the context of assistance with armaments, this is very important , especially. at this stage, regarding the stages, i would like to immediately quote the minister of defense of ukraine, mr. reznikov, who noted that now the stick is being discussed in our media and in the highest political and military circles of the provision of petri from the united states of america, which will significantly improve the situation at the front, of course, and the situation in the air in our airspace, so about the political component, a new stage of the war

. when will it be, according to mr. reznikov, in your opinion and with regard to political will, because the state department and the white house have clearly stated that we are still thinking about the political component in order not to escalate our relations with the russian federation, we are still thinking about providing patriots to ukraine or not well, i like this statement regarding the escalation in general relations with the russian federation. and the situation between the united states and russia is much more acute. patriot as well as franco of italy itself pti eh which is very effective which is very effective which is very effective specifically against the destruction of ballistic missiles and as is known in the near future the russian

federation may already receive or has already received from iran precisely the political missiles that it will use. we all understand very well exactly how the critical object of the energy nephro -infrastructure is precisely the civil object. therefore, it is very important for us today. can provide a modern missile complex with a large radius of that and if they give us an anti-aircraft missile to spit out a sept, then in fact, well, it will be bingo, i will say yes, and what about the next stage, i regard the counterattacks of the armed forces of ukraine on any bridgehead as a new stage in hostilities, and right now we can talk about the fact that, in fact, at least one

bridgehead has formed in the zone of hostilities quite favorable conditions specifically for a counteroffensive on another bridgehead, they are in the format of preparation a-a and another third bridgehead bridgehead uh, for today, unfortunately, we cannot talk about any large-scale counteroffensive there, these conditions uh, they have not been formed there, exclusively defensive actions uh, how uh, the format is precisely the blocking of offensive actions by the russian federation, i am talking about these by bridgeheads, i mean that we can implement counteroffensive actions in the near future in luhansk region or zaporizhzhia region when these conditions are finally formed. directly - it's bahmuta in the verb. yes, i still have clarifications on these er installations, er, myself

in the ones you mentioned in french, if they don't provide petriv, then why should they, in principle, replace a-a well, let's say it's so effective by their power, those locations that we need to protect, given that some experts who understand weapons say that in some places they are even better than the patriots. well, in terms of the number of missiles, let's say the angle of movement of these same missiles and so on. how do you evaluate in general, these installations are so they can fully compensate for the patriot anti-aircraft missile system, these e-e complexes are energy-missile complexes. they have a distance of destruction of objects e-e of 100-120 km, a height of up to 20 km, while the minimum height for the destruction of an object is 5 m, that is, low, low in height they destroy a-a record destruction of an object recorded by missiles from sampt is a star 30 missile and this is the destruction of an object a that was moving at a speed of more than 3000 km/h, that is, actually

having a speed of 4.5 mach and rockets from that complex is not at all a problem to destroy objects with a speed of 3.5 machs 4 machs that is, this is the average statistical speed of the missile weapons were of the anti-polistic type. well, then i still want to talk about the patriots. they think, but still, even if they do not dare to provide them to us, it will be necessary to train specialists. and training not less than six months, this means that for six months we still have to lose this idea from the polarizer, that's right , the problem is as much in the specialist operators and crews as in the integration, and the biggest problem is precisely the integration here and there of this, peter, because, well, it is quite problematic in terms of integration in a foreign system, and our air defense system is quite foreign

, and it is actually the soviet air defense system, it is the soviet systems of small, medium, large radius of action, what we will now receive from our international partners and have received these are actually complexes of a small and medium radius, there are not so many integration problems with them. as with a large radius, and therefore here is the main problem - it can last more than six months to a year, and probably even more than that it depends on what our opportunities are for crew training. in fact, we have quite professional servicemen and operators. we can see how we are very quickly mastering new equipment, especially of the western type. moreover, western equipment is very ergonomic, and there is no need to waste it . a lot, a lot of time to familiarize yourself with it and understand what, where and how

it is used. that is, it is open and has an open architecture for self-training of the crew as quickly as possible. and we also had professionals who were very kind but there is one more very interesting thing, but we are currently discussing about this topic in open sources, actually on television, but we must understand that some agreements can also take place secretly between ukraine and the usa, so let's talk, for example, about what we have now there are no operators or crews on the petryki air defense system who have already undergone some basic training. well, i won't be really sure, then i still want to ask you about such know-how. explain what this means for a simple viewer, what are smart bombs because the biden administration plans to send ukraine advanced electronic equipment that turns unguided aviation munitions into smart bombs capable of hitting russian military positions with a high degree of accuracy. you can

comment on this, and in fact, this is not the first time we have encountered such munitions, and for example, before that, the e of the ukrainian armed forces received 155-caliber ammunition, and from germany and france, this is smart ammunition and a bonus when a stock that works in principle fired a shot and forgot. where is it flying? he knows what to destroy, and he orients himself precisely by the objects that need to be destroyed, and even when it comes to, for example, a moving object, and they can also destroy moving objects at high speed, and because these ammunitions, they had an acceleration about the west the target is more than 5,000 m/s, that is, it was impossible to escape from them in any way, and if we are talking about smart bombs, then they actually work according to the same principle, and by sending them, they can be controlled

by what kind of radiation or other objects object or can them send it on autopilot, so to speak, and she herself knows how to destroy it. and she herself chooses the most effective flight path. for example, the approach speed is the planning for this object, and so on. and so on. to you for your analysis oleksandr kovalenko a political commentator was with us on the air of the marathon, it was almost five o'clock on the clock, and this means that in this studio maksym zborovskyi tetiana goncharova remains unchanged, but at the beginning of each hour, anton appears on the air, anton , you have a word, colleagues, we are waiting for you 10 minutes and while the news is being broadcast, join the meeting of the border guards. glory to ukraine. good morning to all who are with us.
