but we have a difference, we are increasing our military potential at the expense of modern or modernized weapons, including those of our western partners, russia is losing more and more new weapons every day of the war. well, new weapons are in quotation marks because they don’t have enough new ones we shoot down a large number of their er missiles there, almost 75% of the missiles are shot down, we understand what hmm what are the losses for the russian federation, what are these funds and what is the reduction of the combat potential, so the question is that i think that in the future, after all, er, it is up to us will be a qualitative indicator and it will be very important in this war, oleksiy reznikov also said in a recent interview with zagardian that the ukrainian air defense system was able to increase its efficiency to 80%. and

today, zaluzh said that 60 missiles out of 76 were shot down at your i think this is a good result, referring to the resource we have, is it still possible to increase the efficiency of air defense, we understand that in our country the russians wanted to destroy our air defense, they already announced the displacement of our air defense in the first three days. yes , they talked to the command there did not explain where the russians miscalculated, they miscalculated in a lot of places , both in the destruction of air defense and in the effort to gain dominance in the air with the help of aviation. but i think that this is a good result at the moment, with these ppu, we are waiting for petryky, which the americans have already declared to us, our partners and i think that when they come, we will be able to more effectively restore dominance in the air or take it away, because now there is parity. well , it is more effective to shoot down air targets, including cruise and ballistic missiles of the russian

the federations that destroy our civilian objects kill our peaceful e-e citizens well, they destroy e-e objects, including the energy infrastructure. thank you for your analysis on radio liberty, there was a novel by kostenko, people's deputy of ukraine, secretary of the committee on national security, defense and intelligence, thank you thank you. well, here's the story from the de- occupied snyruvka, mykolaiv region. it was an important point for defense for the russian troops in the kherson direction. the armed forces of ukraine liberated the city in early november . radio svoboda post journalists spoke with local residents about how they survived the occupation and what is happening now in snyurovka, look, we survived it and we are glad that it is all over. putin came, a hungry beggar came immediately

after the house, advises the cellar at home and will be buried where the nerve of the onion chechens were in donetsk, and there were a few of the russian army and the violence started, they took us to the basement, they mocked some of the soldiers, they took us, searched us, took what they wanted from our houses, what do they need? it disappeared in my opinion on the first day of the occupation, or how or before bathing, they killed there and there was no firewood for about six months, we burned it, yes, gas, there was firewood left. there was a russian base nearby, there was a metro 100 checkpoint, so it was fun in quotes,

a tank for mo the house is hidden. i have a roof, even if the macaroni is washed. well, it’s partly about the house. it’s a matter of the house that he survived, who wanted to survive. well, what did she say ? well, that’s what they’re paying for. sausages say that these are chickens in our street already they walk applause again hands well tell me what kind of orcs are ours i ran god i cried i laughed i don’t know i was so happy we love them so much we were so waiting for them we were so waiting we experienced such fear in me well we survived we realized that we are ukrainians we with 100% survival partially already the river has been snowing since yesterday evening, e-e

, we are supplying water to the city with wood chips, the ban on entry and exit is in effect, the national police is working, the security police is working, the state emergency service is working, the security service is working, ukrposhta is working, i think that in the near future they will resume their work as well the hospital works in principle, there are many institutions that already work in the city of snigurivka, the eu finally agreed on the ninth package against russian sanctions, its main goal is the military potential of russia, limited access to a number of technologies from avia engines to nerve agents and night vision devices, citizens are also prohibited to occupy leading positions in russian states, traditionally, with this round of sanctions , the blacklists of those who get there will be told by our correspondent in brussels, zoryana stepanenko, she has already seen the names in the documents that

new europeans were at the disposal of radio liberty for russian attempts to plunge ukrainians into darkness and cold, internal contradictions in the eu due to which the ninth package during the week, the ambassadors of the member countries could not agree, managed to overcome the day before late in the evening, four more russian channels are banned from broadcasting here , three banks their operations and expanding export restrictions, the list of dual-purpose goods will not reach russia for a longer time, as it contains, among other things, lasers, lenses, the simplest even toy drones and blacklists, where there are now more than 1,200 people, the companies are replenished by almost 200 more positions, russian military representatives of the defense industry, members of the state duma and the federation council, ministers, governors, politicians who in the eu, in particular, are considered to be involved in the illegal removal of ukrainian children to the territory of russia, three ministers of energy, sports, health hungary saved me from the sanctions, and among those who

face a ban on entering the eu and the freezing of their potential assets, in particular, tv presenter korchevnikov, singer leps, members of ramzan's family kadyrov's face is relatively recognizable to ukrainians , this shows that the european union firmly adheres to its obligations, we keep our word, and this shows that we once again find a way to put pressure on the kremlin's military machine and at the same time ensure food security, guarantee the eu's obligation not to touch and not threaten the food security , that is, their imports, trying to soften the current regime of restrictions, instead, poland and the baltic countries are a company of those who always insist on what and stronger sanctions opposed that the approval of the ninth package and the negotiations dragged on for a long week and only on the sidelines of the summit

of eu leaders were finally completed the heads of the member states welcomed the new sanctions confirmed their readiness to strengthen them finally agreed on 18 billion euromatrophin for ukraine will come next year and on the increase of military aid accented on anti-aircraft systems defense, the leaders said in a joint statement, support further work on the transfer of russian assets frozen in the eu to ukraine to cover its losses, as well as bringing to justice those guilty of war crimes, in particular, and the crime of aggression. and what is the ninth package of sanctions against the kremlin, will it be effective enough? let's talk with us live . yes, you can hear me already, mr. oleksandr. good evening. i can hear you

. good evening. good evening. we are talking about the ninth package of sanctions and questions. in your opinion, is he still strong or a compromise on the part of the european union so far? unfortunately, we see quite a lot of compromises, that is, there are specific sections where he really looks powerful enough, there are specific sections where he looks effective, but at the same time we see a lot we see a lot of issues that have not been closed, relatively speaking, that is, even the very fact that we still have such a high, such a high ceiling for energy prices that we are still in question in terms of limiting supply of specific dual-purpose technologies to the

russian federation, this actually all indicates that we still need to actively work with our european colleagues and prove our point of view on issues that are critical for us. well, there were reports that poland, in particular, blocked eu financial expenses, including macro-financial assistance to ukraine on these 18 billion euros, warsaw still had some of its own claims to brussels, well, obviously, it was not against financial aid specifically in ukraine. of course, this is not so much a matter of ukraine, relatively speaking it is rather a question of the fact that warsaw and brussels have a lot of their own questions, but they do not ask, first of all, in relation to each other, their relationship with european legislation and how the law of the european union is correlated with japanese law, because we know that the poles have actually been dealing with this for the last year, there were many, many issues at the same level as hungary. by the way, the issue

of hungary is quite important because, in essence, the cover-up of such funding for the blocking of similar projects is, on the one hand, also an attempt to block any opportunities for hungary to restore funding from the european union, although we know that in general the position of brussels rather coincides with this device. we will try to connect with oleksandr krayvy once more now and talk about continuing to talk about the ninth package of sanctions ah-ah-ah well, about 18 billion macro-financial

assistance well, so far, the latest news is reported by petro andryushchenko from the news from in the east of ukraine under the occupied melitopol and in berdyansk zaporizhzhya oblast, the russian military imposes a 24-hour curfew on new year's holidays, and defensive fortifications and air defense systems are brought to mariupol, i will remind you about this once again, the adviser to the mayor of mariupol, petro andrushchenko, also writes it is noted that the occupying russian authorities announced to the residents of chernihiv that on the 25th of this month a 24-hour curfew will be imposed , with the prohibition of even going out from the residence in berdyansk, the occupying authorities also warn that from the 30th to the third number is

actually new year's day, a 24-hour curfew will also be introduced. well, during the occupation of kherson oblast, the russian military seized and held in the basement of the kherson court of appeal for 10 days a teenager vitaliy he was 14 years old, he was detained with his uncle because they found in the last correspondence with the armed forces of ukraine, the relatives searched for people in the region and the city, in the end, the russian military released them at the railway station roksolana's material, they went to bed, the parents are a legacy, and those people are there to help a woman there, she has a leg right there, and it sent us to the highway to get pills. well, we went to the doctor. we went to the highway with lyosha . lyosha. from the armed forces of ukraine and we were just there when a car stopped, the russians asked you to have a phone, er, i don't have one, but

you have one, and he gives it, and just then the correspondence is displayed, and they just picked up our eyes , tied the bag, put it on us and tied our hands, and brought it we are in some basement on the very 14th the man was fine, but my uncle and i were separate, he was in the second room, i was in the other. well, they play russian roulette there, then they hang the computer on the bars, when a person has a heart attack, it hangs on the bars, they just shoot it, throwing it into the cell. did you hear something? yes, what? where do you hide your weapons ? how many weapons do you have? they keep asking you exactly

who you corresponded with. what did you correspond with? well, i look up from the house. there are no boys and she asks a little. well , the wife says: there, er, to my aunt, there is no one to help around the house. they are not there. there, and they say, they confessed in everything that they surrendered their positions and their positions, only the equipment went in, that the zsu surrendered well, i start screaming, i say, and where do i say yes, i say, what do you say ? known, but i say parents and grandma and grandpa came out to kadirovat and he says if you're going to be like that, i'll call you right here, i'll shoot you right here, i'll shoot you,

that 's where you're going. introduced himself well, his story was, as you understand, made up, several guys called him siryozh, i don't remember his last name, he is a russian from ukraine well, there he was not a pas napsheniyu, so he went by himself wherever he wanted, he could go to crimea, he could go to kakhovka by himself without an escort without a permit without anything well, as it turned out, he was the commander of the position , well, according to his subdivision, they caught him i say listen, he says i already say mother-in-law, i say already myself, he says well, i already have a wife, i already say everything, i say everything, i say it for a couple of days, i say ilya, the horse is a wonder, she says she calls me already thin i say everything has dragged on. you tell me at least tell

me what the girls are ready for, they are not alive. i say if they are alive. speaks as we live here, here and there, then the name, family name, e . it's fine and i say, we'll give vitalka to you, and oleksia says i'm not sure, except that i called him somehow. so you're not a partisan, somehow. and the adjuster, who also covered for them, they were the gas station for us, because someone of theirs died. that's the same officer who's breeding here. who? well, the cattle were terrible there. they let me go on the three of them. they brought me to the station and we went to

grandma's. we called my parents, and after a while they drove by again. at that moment, such thoughts were already running that they had already changed their minds about what it was. you even eat and think about it . did the children eat there, did the children eat, whether they are alive or not, maybe they are gone, well, we tried to hope for the best, that they would return. 10 days without sleep, you don't sleep at night. there are already neighboring shops here i think they might be afraid to go home that they will be shouted at. i told them not to go, you will be on their rotation. i tell you, this nanny will not be with anyone. and that is what happened. protests against the court

decision to imprison the mayor of istanbul is separate and mamoglo , he is considered the main political opponent of turkish president recep tayyip erdogan for three years in prison, the court incriminated him for three-year-old statements against president erdogan and his ruling justice and development party, and mamoglu is a political rival of the president and could challenge the cardigan in the presidential elections in turkey, which are scheduled for june next year, erdogan plans to run for the third time for the mayor of istanbul and mamogly calls the case against him a political one, the ruling party ordered that the court pronounce a sentence, that i, whom the people voted for, should be imprisoned. and they also realized that the judge will not make a decision that they

expected, and they pushed him aside and appointed a new judge to make the decision they needed going forward about what is currently happening in turkey and how it can affect the war in ukraine, let's talk with us live, yevgenia gaber, senior analyst at the center for the study of modern turkey. she is with us by phone. congratulations you good evening, what do you think is happening in turkey now? the situation appears well, many have already said that erdoğan helped the opposition to finally decide on a single candidate for the elections, because this epic between six opposition parties when they created a pre-election bloc, but they could not decide who would represent them in the elections, and it will

obviously end with that, after all, cream and mama uglu can be such a candidate and the main rival of maridogan. and this is precisely what explains this court decision, which is largely political, regarding the fact that even if he is not imprisoned now, then at least the ban on the introduction of political activity can actually be taken so literally that now for 2.5 years they can be behind bars and mother glo. this would be a bit of an exaggeration because this is only the decision of the istanbul court, after that there is the court of appeal, the court of cassation, there will be complaints and everything the procedure can last one and a half years or two years, that is, in principle, until the elections , he will most likely remain in the position of mare istanbul, but what we see in all this is, of course, that in principle it was rydogan who came to power on a large scale of the country after he was arrested when he

was mayor well, even now, such parallels are being drawn that, in principle, everything he does now is supposedly so indirectly, on the contrary , they help a separate mother corner very much because his popularity is growing, the electorate is also mobilizing his other competitors even within the opposition bloc, they are increasingly lagging behind him in terms of popularity ratings. well, president dogan is constantly being asked, at least recently, to mediate between ukraine and russia against the background of the war and regularly announces a possible meeting between zelenskyi and putin, or do you think this is not done with such an internal political calculation, after all, with an eye on these presidential elections, and there are several points , the first is, uh, definitely internal politics and this not only the meeting of putin is possible, the alleged meeting of putin and zelensky is also a grain deal, which

is also considered in turkey as a brand success of president rodogan, this is, in principle, such an active diplomacy of turkey, this is all largely aimed at domestic consumption, the second point in ideal, of course, for erdoğan to organize a meeting between putin and zelensky in some form or even just a delegation of russia and ukraine. this would be a victory for some kind of shuttle diplomacy, because turkey is still constantly reminded of the meeting of the foreign ministers last year or earlier. yes, this year the foreign ministers had contacts where no one at different levels could , turkey was able to, of course, if the two presidents had met, even without this meeting , nothing would have happened, there would have been no concrete agreements but the very fact that they met, it was also presented as a victory, now i have such a feeling. to be honest, turkey,

knowing well that ukraine will not go to such a meeting, all the signals were sent several times at all possible levels, but this mediating role such attempts to play a mediating role, they allow turkey to explain why it does not join the european sanctions against russia, why erdogan talks to putin on the phone more than once a week, why he conducts negotiations on the gas hub there because turkey must maintain working relations with both sides of the conflict and play a positive role, that is, now it seems to me that to a large extent, well, this is a kind of diplomatic screen that allows you to argue or justify fairly close contacts between turkey and russia. however, the economic situation in turkey is not easy at the moment inflation, er, the turkish lira is also quite weak, ah, hmm, don't you see the

attempts of president erdoğan to use foreign policy, including in the same grain agreement that you have already said that for the image of such an influential world politician in order to be re-elected , this is all included. the image of a world politician is of course playing into the hands and advantage of the ruling party. it really works well enough, but it is not a key element because, after all, economy according to all opinion polls, economic problems and the problems of syria, kursk terrorism, they far outweigh some of them. victories in foreign policy, unfortunately, ukraine is not a top priority for turkey, yes. this is an important topic, yes. there is a lot of talk about it, but inflation, the economy, unemployment, the disappearance of even some medicine from pharmacy shelves, that is, things that are absolutely so everyday

and banal, they now play a much more, much more important role for the turkish voter than some kind of victory over the grain agreement, no matter how nice it sounds, but here again it leads turkey for cooperation with russia because the infusion of russian cash into the turkish budget, as well as, say, saudi arabia or certain gulf countries and others, and this constant e-e trade negotiations on gas not only in the format of a gas hub, this is what russia wants more to sell its gas through turkey, and in the context of a discount on gas that turkey buys from moscow in the context of a possible even postponement of payment for already consumed gas in turkey until 2023 or the 24th year this is precisely where turkey is trying to play its own

game with russia precisely in order to stabilize the domestic market and the domestic economic situation, and it is this, and not victory in foreign policy, that will play a leading role in the elections in other words, you think that in general erdogan will not use his role in the so-called mediation between ukraine and russia very much in his election campaign. i think that he will use it because erdogan is an experienced politician who has been in power for 20 years and knows how to use everything is not only an intermediary role, but it is banal, everything possible from some very symbolic things, some series of films now in turkey. if we talk about the internal agenda, what is there now it's just not about gender issues lg lgbtq q to uh the issue of headscarves again on the

agenda women should not wear now just a scandal that everyone is talking about in turkey about uh there rape and marriage of a six-year-old girl who is now in she told a 24-year-old about it and again it raised the question of islam, the role of women, the protection of women's rights. that is, all these issues actually become tools of the pre-election struggle, what concerns russia's foreign policy and ukraine. of course it is important and of course it is used by president mirodogan literally recently, a number of such large forums and a grain agreement were held there. it is simply everywhere in all the symbols of speeches, it is not only ukraine, russia is the global south, which turkey fed it , turkey, which plays the role of a regional

power , the center of power. what i'm talking about is whether or not it will be used and how effective it will be for the turkish voter in order to convince them to vote for erdoğan here in i have a question. and here are all the financial and economic things. they seem to me to be much more important. please tell me very briefly if possible. if erdogan does not win in these elections , will someone else win or will something change for ukraine in literally 20 seconds? that none of the political forces recognizes the illegal annexation of crimea and other territories of ukraine, but it seems to me that there will be less anti-western rhetoric and less openly pro-russian, although cooperation with russia will remain strategic partnership with ukraine will play an important role. thank you for radio svoboda. yevheniya haber was a senior analyst at the center for research of modern
