circumstances or the children themselves need help . this is exactly what happened with liberty. the girl was first admitted to a special center back in october 2019, and after a few months she ran away from there . the child was with us for a short period of rehabilitation. the work with her has only just begun, but there have already been many positives. of changes, that is, she became more open, she began to communicate with caring adults, gradually began to communicate with children, she is in contact with other children, she is more selective, she keeps herself so secluded well, maybe there is something there they can draw, but with adults, what did psychologists say at the time, liberty bodnar easily makes contact, she is very open, she can communicate and even ask for help very quickly, she can ask for help from adults around her, and uh, be a woman or a man, she can ask for

help, so very it is important that if this girl turns to someone, she should call either the police or magnolia because these girls really need help even then. in the fall of 2019, the girl was admitted to the social and psychological rehabilitation center serious problems and she needed special care after her escape, the search for the child lasted more than one and a half years, but in the summer of 2022, liberty bodnar managed to find the girl , she again ended up in a specialized medical institution, again spent three months there, and again according to some not very good tradition the girl managed to escape from there, in communication with those around her, she behaves like an ordinary teenage child, so it is impossible to guess that she has some kind of disease. i know that liberty has a mother and a grandmother who also

live in the capital, but where the child is now is unknown, so if you have seen this girl somewhere, or maybe she turned to you for help and you know something about her fate , do not delay and call us on the hotline of the magnolia child tracing service at the short number 116,000 calls from of any mobile operator is free even a small piece of information about a missing girl can be very important congratulations this is a live broadcast of espresso tv channel thank you for choosing us my name is khrystyna yatskiv we will inform you about the most important and to analyze the most important events of today , let us remind you that at night ukraine once again experienced a russian attack, this attack was a drone attack, the russian occupation forces attacked ukraine with firewood kamikazes

of iranian production, shahed 136 reported this to the air force command. launched from the eastern coast of the sea of ​​azov by the forces and means of the air force of the armed forces of ukraine in cooperation with other components of the defense forces 30 shaheds of the russian occupiers were destroyed in the destruction of air targets, units of the anti-aircraft missile forces of fighter aircraft, mobile fire groups were involved. at the same time, and as for kyiv, thank you. and the ukrainian capital was almost the most affected in connection with the drone attack, 18 of the 23 shaheds it was managed to shoot down, unfortunately, critical energy infrastructure was also damaged, there was a hit and there was damage to the

road surface in the solomyan district and also to the housing stock in the shevchenkiv district of the ukrainian capital, let's talk now about this with yury ignat, the spokesman of the command of the air forces of the armed forces of ukraine from us on the communication p. yury, we congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes, we congratulate you, we pray for you every time when, unfortunately, it is such a night in ukraine, and sometimes not only at night, but also during the day, there are similar and incidents uh, tell me a little more about the specifics of this night attack, maybe the tactics of the enemy are different, the tactics of launching these uavs now in our country, unlike the previous episodes , please. what tactic has become, they have already learned how

to use it in september, when it was used for the first time on september 13, the first b burned the kupyansk e-e in kupyansk, or rather khan was shot down in kharkiv oblast, that's exactly how it was on the 13th number, and since then the enemy began to use them in odesa, mykolaiv region , a group flew by, watched how our anti-flood defense reacted, then changed routes, changed tactics, how to use it, it was night time, they began to use it, they saw that our fighters had already started to take out their bits from machine guns, so that although it is not fast and loud, it has a large wing plane, but it is extremely difficult to hit it with a machine gun, it is incredibly difficult when a machine gun is used for a large-caliber weapon, a machine gun . yes, it works and has already been proven, especially it

also works with self-propelled anti-aircraft installations such as the cheetah are also very good at destroying them, and that's why the tactics are basically the same since that time, they saw that the night is more or less effective, an effective period of time when they can be used, because only means that have radar protection are used against them that is, this anti-aircraft missile units e-e fighter aircraft well, the same cheetahs have already talked about this already with small arms well, when there is no visual reference to the target, it is difficult to use e on them and thus 30 shaheds were destroyed today out of 35 that were heading for the sea of ​​azov from the east coast from the first, 10 of them were destroyed in the southern direction of the air command south er-e further air to the command east there are also two

drones er-er landing so these and the rest are already in kyiv region er-e air command center well not only in kyiv region a and er in the zone responsibility of the air team, this vinnytsia and other regions were shot down, the rest of these uavs were shot down. and indeed, our defenders and defenders of our ukrainian sky really deserve thanks and are very grateful to you, all those who are currently on combat posts for the fact that you so well and firmly you support it, it is visible in all the mass media in social networks, for this you too, thank you. thank you, uh, yuri , something surprised me this night, uh, how many audiovisual materials there were, that is, people recorded what was happening in the sky, they posted it to the internet, maybe they hoped that at night it would not be completely clear where and what exactly how, but i know for sure that it does not help our

air defense forces to shoot down targets and does not help to work completely, do not worry. we have problems with electricity supply, like everywhere in the country, this is not a problem we are already used to this, mr. yuri, especially when we are talking about shaheds, is it possible to post such materials on the network, or does it not prevent us from knocking them down? well, somewhere to earn subscriptions, there are different people who even make money on this. it is clear. well, at least wait for it. well, even if there is no visual reference there or something else there, well, at night, of course. it will be just a flash . the flash during the flash of the explosion is visible, possibly some buildings, possibly some pipes that are an anchor to the area. therefore, this is a special

thing that we very much ask not to do. this really helps the enemy to understand where the missiles are flying from. next time these missiles can or drones can arrive by means of air defense because air defense today is one of the number one targets for the enemy not only er-e objects of critical infrastructure because objects it is the critical infrastructure that is being protected by the ppu, therefore, if the air defense system is destroyed, it will be at all, without ptu, let’s say so, so it will be written about what the thief is. at least he will get a little closer to this goal, no matter how he pursues it, we, on the contrary, hope that our e-e against e-e air anti-missile capabilities will become stronger and stronger thanks to this support that our partners will provide us ukraine is negotiating the

supply of modern air defense systems and he himself is a patriot. the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi definitely announced this. of a political decision and of our partners and us actually, but i would like you to roughly outline how many such installations we might need in order for our key, let's say, positions perhaps infrastructure objects, the largest cities, er, concentration of our forces, for example . how many such installations would we need in order to feel more or less comfortable, no matter how it sounds in the conditions of ukraine? nothing gave the amount that is needed because it is necessary to understand the principle of using these systems , what are they needed for, what exactly are they used for , how to use them correctly, irrationally and expediently, how to

protect the air space with them as much as possible, because well to use the patriot against the shahed well, it is probably not very advisable, taking into account the cost of the missile and its importance for us , the main goal, the main goal, or rather, the non-target, the main task of the air force, first of all, is to prevent the appearance in our sky of the soothsayer of aviation, you see what you saw, what was done in the first weeks or months of war, when trained aviation flew into the airspace of ukraine , in fact, there were battles in central ukraine and in the sky of kyiv, do you understand how terrible it is? did you see what happened to mariupol with raisins to zhytomyr oblast, sumy oblast and chernihiv oblast, when free-fall bombs level e cities to the ground, that's why aviation was expelled e-e as a deterrent. it was the number one priority. now the air force is fighting another e-e air enemy with a different threat, it's a cruise missile and martyrs but actually

petriv and himself in those also have such a function as anti-missile defense that can shoot down ballistic missiles with a certain modification of the patriot and also in those themselves can cope with it, so uh, you know how much it takes, it takes a lot, it takes a lot, there is no how much it is necessary. therefore, it is necessary to gradually receive it if the west will make such a decision. hmm, we would all like it to happen, it will strengthen the already existing system of anti-flood defense, because we have the letter m1s300, this is the basis that protects today, gradually replacing them on these systems, iristi and nasambs and the patriot himself could become the future shield of us and europe from the occupiers, mr. yury, i remember the previous episode on december 16 and on the 17th there was a massive rocket attack. and on december 16, you said that it was groping let's say so for with the help of the shaheds of the situation, in your opinion,

should we expect another missile day after tonight? is this the enemy's tactics? they are preparing. yes, right after that massive missile strike, and now after the strike by the shekheds, it is clear that preparations are underway, and our installations are being recharged. that the air force is also constantly maneuvering in combat, and it is necessary to simply prepare for such actions whenever what they grope for. well, they always do it here, you can't say that it was groping today, tomorrow there will be a missile strike, not necessarily it can definitely be, um, when they are those uavs, if they were

used today in such numbers, we see that quite a large number have flown, but they, first of all, exhaust our anti-aircraft defense, and indeed, in addition, detecting the locations of our systems this is also their task number mr. yury, you probably know that, in an interview with ukrainian pravda, the secretary of the national security and defense council, oleksiy danilov, noted that russia has three or four missile launchers left, he thinks, and they will go to the ground zero when they can . use only what is being produced now, and the pace of this production is not too high, how do you estimate the missile potential of the russian federation as of today? well, actually, we rely on them and all

the specialists rely on the data of our intelligence on official sources on the data of our partners, on which what is published in the mass media is what russia has already produced during the war. well, more than 250 missiles. if there is monthly, they said that they can do up to 40 and so on. well, we see how many words they have and so we see the number 76 in front of that 96 at once, it is clear that such rates will prepare for a decrease in the combat potential of their missile arsenal, because these missiles which they use on the critical infrastructure in the depths of our country, this is in the central western regions of the southern e-e , these high-precision missiles hit far away, and these missiles, these missiles e-e, they may lack, that's why they turned to the state and the framers in order to add more ballistics i.e., their iskanders have already entered the naz a long time ago. and these kravat missiles are already

on the border of the nz, which is what nbu secretary oleksiy danilov said that they will really remain at such a pace already, well, they will reach zero, let's say so, if they continue 3-4 more such strikes. well let's hope for that, that we will destroy them to zero. as he told mr. yuri in the end about the enemy aircraft in our sky and how cool it really is that they are afraid to attack him. and the fact is that some russian critics of the russian army and those who make decisions in this russian army named this as one of the reasons why it is not possible to push through the defense of our troops, in particular in the direction of bahamian, and so on , the support of aviation and aviation. this is not enough for the enemy, because in our airspace they they actually can’t fly in. well, they obviously can’t capture this whole story with footage. it’s

russian aviation and the number of those who can fly there professionally, how do they have this resource, well , they lost this resource at the beginning of the war. yes, it has a lot of aviation, it has a lot of pilots, but the best of the best were thrown into battle in the first days of the war and many pilots were destroyed physically well, because some catapulted there or on their territory or on our territory were taken into they were captured, they were exchanged for our pilots. unfortunately, they were also shot down in air battles. and actually, this potential of the pilots, they really lost on fps, the first in the first months of the war, it was those the pilots who bombed the series, including those

pilots who took part in other hot conflicts, hot spots, i mean where russia uses its wagnerians all over the world and so on. the time period is impossible, this plane is a high-tech weapon and the pilots are being trained 5 years in the military, then the pilot must acquire combat capabilities, learn to fight, reach the level of a certain class in order to really be more or less ready to perform combat missions, it takes 10 years for pilot training if the pilots were even catapulted it's not always that they can perform tasks right away, because there may be health problems after, er, after the catotrip itself. well , they often sent young pilots into battle, it was visible during that bird fall when er

in a month there literally something like 12 planes seem to have suffered losses in the rear in russia, yes , actually there it was visible that the senior lieutenant of the flight commander there has an assault, and the ranks are quite small in people, this indicates that young pilots are also already are involved in the war thank you mr. yuriy for your work for the inclusion yuriy ignat, the spokesman of the air force command of the armed forces of ukraine, was on the air of the espresso tv channel. well, we are moving on, so he is shaping you about the most important president of ukraine confirmed the presence of signs of russia's preparation before the new wave of invasion, zelensky noted that the desire of the russians to occupy ukraine has not changed. he said this in an interview with the french television channel tfall 1. but we understand that they will want this. let 's say revanchist steps, they constantly want to usurp us as a state, occupy us as a state. i think that they didn't throw similar

thoughts at us oleksandr doroshenko , a deputy of the kharkiv regional council, an officer of the national guard, oleksandr, we congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to ukraine in the armed forces unit of the forces of ukraine is being stitched in the direction of svatov crime, the biloghirians are attacking the enemy, please share your observations and your information that from this direction of the front, well, in our direction, the limansky direction, we are somewhere up to 10 km from the tribal one, this is just connected to the directions of the salado crime, we have one road we are working in our direction, i can say that somewhere today , already in the morning, our artillery started working from a long distance, working on the objects of the orks, it started already at night, and even now uh, can i hear how uh, how the artillery is working, well, this is the

artillery of our foreign partners and the polish artillery, other artillery is working, so uh, even in such weather today, it is minus temperature. we are in the forest, in the forest area, our battalion is taking a position together with other units of the national guard of the armed forces of ukraine, so little by little we are trying to fit in what does the enemy army look like now that is working in your direction or is something changing ? is this a skeleton formed from the withdrawn a group from the kherson region, maybe wagner , maybe some mobilized ones. and where are the so-

called nerivians from lnrivians? the wagnerians are therefore difficult, i can say that they already have a purchase of defense er consists of several stepping on their position, it must be more difficult and always to advance when they are prepared, even if they withdraw, they will withdraw to positions that have already been taken. therefore, now those army formations are ok, we have them, they are more professional and more durable, and that is why it is much more difficult than it was in the kharkiv direction, oleksandr is

there any reason to say that the enemy is trying to form an offensive group there? well, i can say based on that information that what i have on the enemy is also uh-uh on individual settlements, small offensive children a few weeks ago, we spent uh about breaking through, trying to develop and enter small settlements, but in our direction, where we are in work what i know came in they don't sit they don't sit they you also carry out actions speak out how do you think the dynamics of the battles have changed during the i don't know the nearest vitenko time there for the last month well i can say what

and when we entered the limansky in the direction a month ago, these are two different things here, everything is different here, it is much more difficult here, first of all, what works here is that we did not catch the eye, it is working artillery and different calibers constantly and towards the enemy to his position. i have already said enough somewhere the extreme positions of ours are 200 m from the oculus to the ork occupations. that is why everything is different and they can be eh in eh in one day and our artillery may not work, mortars eh can they from some offensive actions from our eh to our trenches from theirs there for some small ones groups for the support of mortars go eh that's why it's more difficult what was said before that donbas is completely different, mr. oleksandr can finally confirm that it is clear that

the defense forces are regularly working behind enemy lines from the last hit in alchevsk on the outskirts of luhansk irmino that's all i will remind you of the luhansk region after such successful training. do you feel that it is a little easier in terms of enemy artillery fire? no , honestly, i don’t feel it. well, as far as we know, they have artillery reserves. the russians have a lot of mortars, that's why specifically in our direction, what's less . maybe there's somewhere. we don't work every day, but if they start working. when we enter a position, they start to systematically cover the entrances to our positions with squares. therefore, to say that it is less, well less. maybe we are 24 hours a day at 7, but starting already in the morning at five o'clock

, they can constantly. well, i can say that where we are, it is better not to even use flashlights at night uhu thank you oleksandr yes republican thank you mr. oleksandr oleksandr doroshenko, deputy of the kharkiv regional council , national guard officer spoke with us about the direction of luhansk lyman svatove and the crime situation there remains difficult, but the progress of the defense forces is also maintaining its course eh 25th minute we inform you about the most important in kyiv, the station will be opened maidan nezalezhnosti and khreshchatyk metro stations from tuesday, december 20, in kyiv, two stations of the maidan nezalezhnosti and khreshchatyk metro stations, which were closed since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the russian federation in february, will resume operation. about this is reported by the mayor of kyiv, vitaliy klitschko, i quote, tomorrow we will open two stations of the capital's metro and the transition between them

well, the ministry of defense of russia announced the battalion tactical training in belarus after their completion, at the final stage of coordination, the command will give the final characteristics of the combat capability of the units, the russian interfax refers to the agency that the first groups of russian soldiers arrived in belarus in october. in a joint grouping of troops, up to 9,000 or russian troops will arrive, more than 100 tanks, armored vehicles, mortars, as well as aviation . on the western borders of the union state at the beginning of december, lukashenko said at a meeting with the minister of defense of russia, sergei shoigu, that the russian and belarusian military are undergoing training as a single unit, a single army lukashenko

and putin will meet in belarus today. it should not be forgotten that for putin this will be the first trip to the belarusian dictator in three years. he rarely leaves the territory of the russian federation and only for some serious reasons. well, the former commander of the ground forces of the republic of poland, ex-deputy the minister of defense of the republic of poland, general baldemar skzybczak, said on the air of the espresso tv channel that the russians will try to form a fairly powerful group in the north, and they are preparing an operation that they plan to combine with operations in the north with those ongoing in the east, the main goal will be to combine the offensives from the north with those in the east, i.e. in luhansk region and donetsk region, according to the general, the russians think that such a plan will help them capture the donbas and split our defense forces, the russians quote that they wanted enough to wrest donbas

, but i believe that they will not be able to do it in the meantime, i rule out an attack on kyiv. the russians have already suffered a defeat near kyiv, so they will not go a second time. oleksandr the old head of the zaporizhia regional military administration, congratulations, oleksandr you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes 15 settlements were shelled in the last day, this is the last official data that we have, which is destruction. as they say, in the temporarily captured areas, the russians subordinated emergency medical care to the needs of the army only, what remains for the civilian population, well, the question is completely rhetorical , tell us about the situation in the oblast is not a free part, and it is currently occupied, please, well, as of now, you said that the last one added was, let’s say, a typical amount, our communities were subject to on the front today, it all continues with a rocket attack, an additional attack was made on the gulyaipol community, directly on the city itself, fortunately, there is still no information

about the dead and wounded, well, the destruction is clear, such huge rockets fly when a small city is clear, what are the consequences of the destruction, unfortunately the movement of people has stopped, the occupiers, in fact, for the past few days, either did not let them out or only one person, as of yesterday , knew how to drive through vasylkivsky crossing point, this is very negative, and besides what you said, the doctors there, respectively, certain communities are forced to go to work and enter into agreements, and doctors are also not allowed to work if they do not enter into such agreements, that is, the pressure and coercion to collaborate on the part of the terrorist occupation forces continues, mr. oleksandr, what is the situation in our territories that are controlled by our armed forces and how you are now coordinating what the situation is
