90% of the residents have electricity the village of kherson and the heat is 75%. improving the situation is hindered by daily enemy shelling, the russians are constantly hitting critical infrastructure in the center, this is the suvorov district, several houses are without heat, this shumen district is low houses without heat, that is, again, there are some areas where hits occur and these areas remain without heat, first of all, the specialists will only repair them and fix them again, because the enemy during these 8 months of occupation has studied the critical infrastructure very well, and he knows some of the locations and how to act and hit the keds that attacked kyiv this night and with the new

party that russia received from iran. of the united kingdom, i would like to point out that the enemy launched 34 attack drones, 30 of our defenders shot down ukraine was again attacked by iranian drones, 34 shaheds . in ukraine, first of all, the dolav of the armed forces calls on those who have experience of participating in combat operations, for example, in anti-terrorist operations or operations of the combined forces, and mobilizes those citizens who have not completed military service but they will definitely

undergo individual training and learn military specialties for at least a month. this was reported by the head of the personnel department of the headquarters of the ground forces of the armed forces of ukraine, roman horbach. according to him, there is no question of the next wave of general mobilization. we call for the combined military specialties of tank gunners to be larger than that, but it cannot be said that we do not need such specialties as signalmen encryptors and so on, that is, the need is absolutely the same for all specialties, but

some we call more, some less. but in the phone of a man who turned out to be a priest of the kharkiv diocese of the uoc mp, border guards found many numbers of russian operators of pro-russian correspondence and propaganda materials of the aggressor country the clergyman contemptuously calls ukrainians from bandera, uncles, russia, the mother of atb, almost a martyr, the author of such correspondence was handed over to the competent law enforcement agencies, but the former head of one of the departments of the kupyan city council at the beginning of the full-scale invasion supported the russian invaders , she joined the occupation administration, where she carried out instructions in moscow regarding the spread of the kremlin regime in region a, the collaborator also ensured uninterrupted financing of the occupation authorities

russian army continues lose manpower and equipment in ukraine as of the morning of december 19, russia has already lost 98,800 people in ukraine in the last day alone, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed 520 orks with the beginning of the great war, russia has already lost in ukraine 2,988 tanks, 5,969 armored combat vehicles , 1,953 artillery systems, 410 jet systems volley fire 212 air defense means 281 aircraft 600 e-e 264 helicopters 4592 units of motor vehicles 16 ships boats 653 cruise missiles 1657 drones 175 units of special equipment so putin inclines lukashenka similar to of war, moldova warns of a possible russian offensive in 2023.

we will talk about this and other things in the next hour . contact us. i am glad to see you on the air. i congratulate you. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. so, valery , today the russian delegation led by putin and shoigu arrived in the belarusian capital. the meeting between putin and lukashenka has already been heard. the words of two presidents are more true of one president than the other pseudo-president, although they are probably both pseudo-presidents and what putin said putin says that belarus is not just a neighbor for russia and an ally . they really wanted putin, and the

negotiators agreed on this, to summarize some of the work of governments and various departments, first of all, in the field of economics, i want to note, uh, uh, uh , and yes, it is well known to everyone , but still it is necessary to glean what in belarus is not only our good neighbor with whom we work, we take into account the interests of friends throughout the previous decade. well, belarus is definitely our ally in the most literal sense of the word. on the eve of putin's visit to minsk, there was a lot of talk about whether the leader of the russian federation would of the pseudo-president of the republic of belarus to widespread participation in the war about in the war against ukraine, although it should be recalled that on february 24, 2022, it was from the territory of the republic of

belarus that russian troops entered the territory of ukraine and, in fact, since that day, belarus has been a participant in the war, is it possible to tell valery if there is something fundamentally changing in the arrangement of these forces , or if putin just came to show his respect, yes, in this way, lukashenko and tell him what is it that we are all together, so if we are all together, then we are a gang, if we are a gang, then we are all going against ukraine, let's start with the fact that belarus is already participating in russia's war against ukraine. this participation is simply implemented through the use of the territory of belarus for shelling of the territory of ukraine with insulting aircraft from the territory of belarus, and finally, on the 24th, part of the russian troops entered. well, the question remains, it will not be for

ukraine. by the way, and even for belarus or belarus, there will still be some independent decisions, because in principle e.e. lukashenko has already handed over control of the campfire to putin through defense security masphers, he still controls small islands, but mostly he already lost control, he exchanged it and of course, in principle, he perfectly understands those remnants of sole power that he still has without control putin well, putin does not travel like that, of course he will come for two reasons, firstly, he is not so special. especially against the background of the fact that he did not know that he was going to come out in the message of the president in russia, there was no traditional first annual press conference

, that is, he did not even go to the hockey in moscow, as he always did. well, that is he still has nothing to go out with, so at least go to belarus and show that belarus is already russian well, in principle, i think putin's goal is to show that belarus is russian, and of course they will press lukashenko regarding such a mixed contingent of russian-belarusians to cross the ukrainian border after all because, well putin wants to mess up in this war not only mr. lukashenko and his entourage, but also belarus as a whole. i think this is the goal that putin's secretary dmitry peskov is setting before putin's visit to the belarusian capital said that the purpose of putin's visit to lukashenka is not to encourage lukashenka to actively participate in the war against ukraine, and the main thing is

the economy. they were advanced, uh, the integration regime was found, that's why no one is forcing anyone, in general, they are taking such steps, which , again, are very much in line with the interests of our peoples, as it would be interesting for our union state, mr. ambassador, literally over the past six months, we have been very actively discussing, or at least in the information field, the topic of whether belarus will go to ukraine or not, whether our northern border is protected from belarus and russia, or unprotected, what do

you think still holds lukashenka from full-scale participation in russia's war against ukraine, namely, by the troops directly of the republic of belarus, well, look, i am not in favor of full-scale participation in belarus and the military crossing of the border, another attempt to cross the border of ukrainian-belarusian, these are different things, er, why, i will explain, er, the konkreshenko can really try to have all of belarus involved, not because he doesn't want it, he just understands that then he will lose power in belarus, because the attitude is different in belarus after all from russian, although it has been getting closer for a month, but a lot of people obviously do not want to die, it is not clear why, and on the territory of ukraine, that is why putin does not

need the word of lukashenko, he went the other way, they twisted the hands of the belarusian belarusian chief and this otverhiv woman, did you see when when the document on joint formations was finally signed and when osta? well, everyone shut their mouths when mccain from mccain died so suddenly. the minister of foreign affairs in belarus died under incomprehensible circumstances, a situation when he was just that person which tried to establish some uh different contacts with the west than with putin, so everything is already clear, lukashenko does not control the situation there, the units are mixed with belarus, there are some that will be hired by the russians for money, there are such people, the only thing that holds them back is that they don’t have enough strength, and for this reason, there is a high probability. and i would say a guarantee

that they will go back here very quickly. the armed forces are knocking out russian enigmas for 500-600 days, do you understand what this means for belarusians? that is, i don't think that the authorities there will be very worried about these belarusians who died. but everything will still be more sensitive than in russia, this is the first and second. well they perfectly understand what to sit on on this one bench of tribunals and to be expelled around the world, they still do not want to go to the belarusians, somehow they want to check now the question is only one, whether they will still manage to do it, we will see, but what are the russian troops or there with a small number of belarusians after all, there will be plans , most likely they are already clearly formed, cross the border of ukraine once again well, although in order to completely take control of belarus with a

completely troublesome war of aggression, lukashenko gets rid of vlad, i.e. a marionette is already being placed, more marionette marionettes well, i don't know who else will be placed there, well, it will most likely be someone already in the ranks of the fsb-shnik, and this is what they want to implement and are preparing for it . can there be success after that, as in principle it was serious enough, well, advancing all the way to kyiv in the first instance i think categorically not and i rely on the opinion of our military experts and those people who, in principle, have already done a lot of things around kyiv and not only kyiv and there nuclear power plants and everything else so that the threat from the belarusian direction would no longer be so serious even when crossing the border, the only thing that of course it will

cure is to divert the forces and that is why such a thing is so undesirable for us. what will belarus endure there, but you know , we don't care what belarus will endure there, belarus lukashenko, they have already shown us what they are, now we just have to take this factor into account when planning military operations and defense and offensive and in general, well, everything of the country to take into account this possible direction of threats or challenges for ukraine. the state secretary of the security council of the republic of belarus stated that the command keeps the units and military units of the armed forces in constant readiness . meanwhile, yesterday president zelenskyi stated that one of the permanent priorities of border protection is the protection of the border with the republic of belarus and we are ready for any scenario supreme commander of the armed forces of ukraine we will hear from zelensky in detail

discussed the border, protecting the border with both russia and belarus, this is also a constant priority, we are preparing for all possible defense scenarios. whoever inclines minsk to what, it will not help them either. like all other sick ideas in this war against ukraine and ukrainians, mr. valery obviously, the question was and remains relevant, the diplomatic relations between kyiv and minsk, i already asked you about it once, but since this question can be asked in the development of the situation that is developing in ukrainian-belarusian relations, after all i will ask myself this question again at the end of 2023. what prevents ukraine from breaking diplomatic relations with the republic of belarus, since it is a participant
