members of my family in sweden waited for a visa for several months and only got to england in july. they also came to freeland, where at that time the local community was already actively working. конечно очень благодарный in everything, starting with documents, clothes, they helped with medical care for my mother, as she had undergone several heart operations in her time, and here we were greeted very well, very well, our canvas, they are wonderful people they are remarkably soulful. of course, i have heart problems, but they are so good . please pray, we wouldn’t be able to organize all this ourselves, especially i don’t know the language at all, but they helped

me organize everything. ukrainian families here have already started a completely independent life. most of the families we have successfully helped with learning the language and finding a job are well-adjusted. there are a few families with young children who cannot work. they are supported by the government and this sufficient funds for living and wonderful news , now our guests who work have the opportunity to live separately, where they do not still live in so-called sponsor families, all the others rented their own housing, the british note the merit of the ukrainians themselves in this result , they used every opportunity, they

were very polite and patient, they improved their english so quickly that i was amazed and that is why now ukrainians here can live independently. they know and if more support is needed, we are always here. despite the comfortable conditions and the good attitude in a foreign country, ukrainians dream of returning to their own well, let's hope, but better still, they say they are visiting. good, but better, anyway, even though i'm home, that's it . i want home, but there is no doubt that one day the return of our citizens home will be possible. nataliya klauding from velika britain for the espresso tv channel half to the fourth information day of the espresso tv channel in the midst of it, we are now adding serhiy lysenko to our marathon, but khrystyna yatskiv has an extremely important message, in fact,

we have a message that zaporizhia oblast, today we are worried about tokmak, this is the latest information for the last few hours in melitopol , some explosions regularly occur, local residents report it, and on december 19, december 19 was no exception, at least two explosions were reported by the mayor ivan fedorov and mr. serhiy lysenko. we are now and we will ask about what is happening in the zaporizhia regional council volunteer what is happening just now khrystyna yatskiv voiced this undoubtedly resonant explosive information, so to speak, in fact this is not the first explosion in melitopol, it is not in tokmak, but damage to the enemy’s military training infrastructure is regularly occurring . it is the one that is used by them as a

bridgehead . in a convenient place, who has 100 km to berdyansk, a little less to melitopol, if the brothers follow the roads, they go directly to energodar , the same distance - 100 km to zaporizhzhia , etc., has a large hospital, airfield a has a large the number of enterprises that, even in soviet times, were set up specifically for the work of a defense complex there, a factory that repaired e-e metal products was supposed to be used for the repair of armored vehicles , a factory that repaired diesel engines was supposed to be used specifically for the repair, again, of armored vehicles of tanks, there kamazov what and as a result of this accordingly, the city which was immediately used by them for military purposes , they placed a large number of garrison there, the headquarters of the local fsb, which works with the front line and so on and so on, because it is

more convenient to get to the front line from tokmaku and work than from melitopol, and therefore regularly the partisans and the armed forces attack the tokmaku and the surrounding areas, etc. destroy the warehouses there. well , accordingly, cotton is there quite often and yesterday and today again still not an exception. and if we talk about the line of contact in the zaporizhzhia region, what are the trends there, and the positional battles continue, but they intensified and intensified well, as the military reports, it seems that they are starting to prepare for a possible offensive of ukrainian troops and therefore take action to stop this offensive, there are shelling of more distant lines where, in their opinion , additional fortifications are located, additional forces are stored accordingly, ammunition, etc., that is, they create conditions under which the ukrainian

army will not be able to advance. well, you understand, sir sergei, please forgive me this somewhat meteorological question. what is the weather in zaporizhzhia, in particular , we are talking about the temperature of the soil, we understand that , so to speak, our offensive and the liberation of our territories can also be made possible and the weather is everything falling from the sky splashing plus temperature and for two days it lasts at night frost during the day plus uh and tomorrow the warming will again be plus temperature that's why in us zaporizhzhia has not yet had snow in the south especially well and accordingly from the affairs of the military, let's move on to the affairs of the free, what is your current situation with energy supply, because the enemy regularly attacks both with missiles and drones. comment on it. oblenergo is trying to

stick to the schedules, but in the city it is more or less successful, but there are additional outages that last there instead of three hours, four or five of that, well, it all happens, we will understand there, they can delay the inclusion, they can turn it off for half an hour an hour earlier, but in in principle, the situation is more or less stable in the place itself, but the situation in the region is a little worse, because some main points are within a day or two of the electricity supply. as a rule, this applies rural areas where there are more you can say that scattered consumers plus there is a big problem on the border with dnipropetrovsk region because part of the community, as it turned out, is registered to the power grid from dnipropetrovsk region and accordingly they work according to its schedule of outages, which makes it impossible to synchronize certain

actions among themselves and creates problems and the situation with heat in general the situation with the points of unbreakability there are points of unbreakability they work but taking into account the shutdown schedule that there is no light for 3-4 hours and there is no great need for them because that people are adjusting and the schedule and 3 hours without light even there in the evening time is already such a big problem heat is heating supply works and there will be interruptions no one knows but at the moment in principle the apartments are heated and it is good gas there are emergency situations reminder of the network on the edge at least i do n't know about sergiy energodar and the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, maybe there is some news coming from there, well, from the latest news, what happened to energodar is that all measures are being taken to prevent them from working and to replace those people who refused to sign contracts with calculated by atom and did not refuse to

cooperate accordingly, i.e. they are trying to remain in cooperation with ukraine of these people, well, to date, issues are being resolved by especially close specialists regarding their replacement by russian specialists and not being allowed to work, i.e., they are trying with these forces to make it so that atomica could not work in the absence of, well, in of russian specialists well, we understand. so this is not your area. but maybe you can also characterize a certain trend. president zelenskyy created a new city the military administration and appointed its head, and this seems to hint at something possible. do you have information? well, the fact is that, as a rule, wtas are created when a separate part of the territory is liberated or may be liberated in the near future, so we hope that they

are moving in this direction at least we are waiting for the creation of the melitopol vc, i would like to thank you mr. serhiy serhiy lysenko, a deputy of the zaporizhia regional council, a volunteer was working now on the live air of our marathon 15:00 39 minutes in 24 well, i will remind you that literally last week the verkhovna rada of ukraine has worked fruitfully, there are several important legislative initiatives adopted, one of them is number 76 62 a-a, which concerns the constitutional court of ukraine in relation to this draft law, the special commission has updated its conclusion on the reform of the constitutional court of ukraine, and in the new conclusion there are two important points by the way according to the experts who will check the candidates in the ksu, it is necessary to include another seventh member of the independent international experts with the right to have a decisive vote so that there will be uh well, by the way, the decision of the group of experts should be

mandatory under no circumstances, a candidate who has passed the check with a negative result cannot become a judge of the constitutional court of ukraine, but literally they have updated their conclusions well, let's say so, wishes for the reform of the constitutional court of ukraine as it arrives information that the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky signs now it already becomes by law and all these changes in our country are becoming ukraine, it contradicts the recommendations of the venice commission , yes, and it is strange, such a rush, well, it is unknown, it is not known what the motives were, let's move on now for the 24th, andriy demchenko, the spokesman of the state border service of ukraine, is in touch with us . andriy, congratulations, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, glory to the border, when we talk about it, you are interested in the northern direction, the level of the military threat from belarus may increase, but the ukrainian forces are monitoring the situation take appropriate measures, what does our

border with this equally aggressive country look like now, well, actually, first of all, i will note that the situation directly along the border line and in the border areas they remain fully controlled, we do not note eh for now moment and it also happened during the sudden inspection or readiness of the units of the republic of belarus, which they mentioned and which lasted for the last time some movement of military equipment or manpower near our border or a sharp increase in these forces, that is, near the border, this was not noted, but of course our attention is drawn deep into the territory of belarus, including in relation to checking their combat readiness of those exercises that belarus, together with russia , conducts on the territory of this country. well, the actual so-called deployment or strengthening of their original grouping of troops of the so

-called allied states, because we understand that belarus has been actively supporting russia for a long time in this war that this country has unleashed against our country. we well remember february 24, when in fact the belarusian border guards so kindly opened their border in order for the equipment and military personnel of the russian armed forces to enter the territory of our country, therefore, in fact, even this inspection, which took place on the other side of the border in recent days , does not change anything for us, because we took into account all the moments that were before that and we we are strengthening our border with belarus both directly along the border line and in the border area in order to maximize our forces that are on the border, these are the units of the state border service and

units of other components of the defense forces, the opportunity to restrain the enemy, whoever it is, whether it is russia or belarus, if it joins open aggression, because we well understand that russia is pressuring this country to take such steps. well, actually, at the moment, the border is already maximally strengthened in terms of defense in order to respond to any challenges. possible in this direction, the information is extremely important, mr. spokesman, we would like to ask you. have you preserved any contacts with the belarusian border guard? sentiments of the belarusian military border guards and so on, well, actually

, we do not support relations with the belarusian border guards even at a time when they they are trying to provoke some kind of situation by spreading such messages into the public sphere, they do not inform us through official channels, noting about some non-standard situations in their territory, well, in particular, when they repeatedly noted the alleged destruction of ukrainian ruins there, which are used to track the situation in i will point out to the belarusian border guards that these are provocations. because ukraine is actually defending itself and we do not create any provocations. our task is to be as ready as possible for development in this section. any situation that may arise in relation to the threat to our country, i understand that the situation

should be commented quite delicately, but what you can is possible, and you will say how well and far our state border service sees what is happening in belarus , we understand that under the guise of exercises they can transfer additional units of the russian federation and as if they are already transferring to belarus now not only the s300 so how well can we see our possible partners abroad, well look, if we talk directly about the border, then we are here we use technical means in order to monitor the situation in the border areas or in the closest e-e range to our state border line and everything else. the situation unfolding deep in the territory of belarus, and based on this

analysis, it is already possible to make an assessment regarding the possibility of an invasion of the territory of ukraine from this direction, so at the moment, our units and units of the main administration intelligence reports indicate that there is no necessary strike group on the territory of belarus that could carry out a full-scale invasion on the territory of our country. of course , with their training and coordination , they may try to create some provocations , but all the defense forces of ukraine located in this direction what measures were taken to strengthen the border they are already doing everything necessary so that we are ready for any actions on the other side of the border on andriy what does our border with the russian federation look like how often do they try to break through it and how much does this complicate the work

of our state border service along the border line, it is quite difficult to carry out such fortifications in terms of engineering works, because we see that even from the moment when the enemy was pushed back or from the month of april behind the line the border within chernihiv oblast, sumy oblast , e.e. the russian federation continues to shell the territory of ukraine on a daily basis, especially the border line and as close as possible to the border , they have equipped themselves with all the necessary fortifications in order to give the necessary response to the

aggressor in the event of a repeated invasion in this direction. and we wish him and the staff of the state border service good health for the 12th, we are moving on. literally in a few moments, we will add defense express expert ivan krichevskyi let's talk about what kind of money and on what conditions are given to us from our partners, in particular from the united states. and why is it not a lease yet, because the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine informs the united states that they act according to this logic in order to protect our finances, first of all, because the lend program lisa, it is still designed for the fact that we can return what we do not use or pay for what we use, those programs that we can use now, they are irreversible as far as i can in a good sense for us. the us congress submitted a bill on state funding for 2023, which in particular provides for the allocation of almost $45 billion in

aid to ukraine and nato allies, reports reuters from the agency, noting that the bill on state funding for $1.7 trillion includes record military spending that exceeds approximately one and a half trillion dollars allocated in the previous year er 40 almost 5 billion dollars for nato friends in europe in particular as far as i understand it is also very gratifying for us well, we would have just given up american tanks yes, yes, i'm a vain tank driver or something. i just understand how critical heavy armor is, that is, for the implementation of counter-offensive offensive measures and for the preservation of the health and often the lives of our personnel. tanks - this is an extremely important story. belarus, the russian federation periodically chase it there then they

pull from belarus to russia, then vice versa from russia to belarus, realizing how important this is a really important puzzle in any military operations that may be carried out. well, let's hope, so to speak, that it is not our fault the united states is the only one that supports us, of course we are talking about extremely important weapons, ammunition and so on, but the issue of tanks is a political issue of political will, we understand how it is not simple because it could be interpreted by the russian aggressor as a de-factor according to certain parameters, i.e. if the scheme works, why not work and the same tanks or well, we will have a patriot, well , such a himer - that is, there is such a logic. i think there is no logic there, there are instincts and there are, so to speak, already announced packages, maybe they didn't know what was there at the time, or did they hope that the marses would reach us like this well, but in any case, the hai masses are also

an extremely important story, in particular, it is about increasing their number, let's hope that the american defense order provides for an increase in the production of highmars with a view to transferring it to the countries of central and eastern europe, in particular, and we had a wonderful conversation today, and in the end, this is ukroboronpromo, and we were very surprised by the ingenuity that our army is already showing repairmen of our military equipment. and these are several tens of thousands of people. they work in an emergency mode because the intensity of the fighting is very high. accordingly, there is a very small request for the repair of this equipment . very often they are invested in the minimum terms and this cannot help but please us when

we want, what is the matter, yes, it is a question of resources in particular and financial, as well as the question of rethinking production, we understand, so what the kharkiv tank plant what kind of situation it is in, we just don’t know how powerful the shelling was, in any case, we understand that now the same united states and, so to speak, the south korean allies are now in the north of poland now deploying tank production , so well, let’s hope that the relevant programs will also not just affect us, but will help us, well, the military defense sphere - this is extremely thin ice now, but in any case, the key issue now is yes so that our american partners listen to our commander-in-chief zaluzhnyi, who very clearly announced what we need. yes, we understand that very often our overseas and european partners in general, and in general all people who are tied to defense, they

seek to take their time, but in some situations the lack of haste can be critically dangerous. by the way, you know that i was a little bit offended by this thesis of the hostage about the absolutely specific volumes of military aid, and he emphasized, wait, i didn't i am asking about the f16. i wonder why valeriy zaluzhny decided to emphasize this, probably understanding that the decision to transfer this kind of aviation capabilities to us is already quite a lot . with a desire and with a certain will to convey this situation. yes, we understand that tanks are not in the 16th and we understand how much this matter could turn the russian enemy, in particular, it is about aviation, but i think that there are also problems of a purely technical or

of the technological moment, this is a question of maintenance, placement of healing, and so on. and so on. that is, this is such a case. well, i think only specialists in the field of aviation can know why not, and the machine is simpler, and despite the fact that we are told that it requires some additional coordination systems of those tank groups, but in any case, we understand that with high-mars, we can do it. yes, we will do it with the patrio system. well, the patriot system is also a certain rubicon. if it comes, let it be one apec system for now. but that already means. so what? our the armed forces are ready to adequately apply it . well, accordingly, a whole line or a whole line of specialists on the relevant issue immediately appears, and accordingly, after one loop system, if we have the appropriate number of specialists, we can supply the second , third, fourth, and fifth. although they are, without a doubt , extremely expensive, as in maintenance , consumables are meant, the same

anti-missile missiles will be passed off as tautology , yes, and in general, that is, the loop system is hundreds of millions, it is definitely expensive and it is technologically er, but we would like to to have this challenge with respect to uh, it is worthy to really accept it, while other countries , uh, well, for example, greece recently signaled allegedly about uh, that they are ready to help us to help with what we are well used to, well, s300, for example, yes instead, those patriots are asking. as i understand it, those patriots who could have come to us for themselves and e. it is extremely interesting, in my opinion, such a political moment when greece takes a step in its interests, it is not that it is framing us in essence, but we are not in such a big win in which they could find themselves as i would eventually get this patriot. i think that a

compromise will somehow be found because the maturity of our partners to give us this kind of e-e machines for e-e countering russian aggression, it is still gaining momentum, by the way, pro-russian aggression is the last episode if return to the topic of the shaheds, something won't let me go today, on december 19, russia carried out the largest attack by the shaheds on the territory of ukraine in terms of the number of iranian kamikaze drones released , air force spokesman yuriy ignat announced this at a briefing in the ukraine media center ukrinform it happened yesterday, as you know, st. nicholas day, we were greeted with one of the largest shelling attacks in terms of quantity, this is because 35 uavs were launched on the territory of ukraine, if we take into account the statistics, they have not yet released such a number of missiles on the united states . they believe that un secretary general antoniyu otelish succumbed to pressure from the russian federation because he did not

send officials to ukraine to check russia's use of iranian drones. well, let's hope that he will have time, so to speak, with the monitoring mission regarding iranian ballistic missiles, although an extremely important signal has already arrived from the head of the european union, mr. borel, who is in charge of international politics, more precisely , the european union, who said that the iranians should not blow into the hive, so to speak, because it can be expensive and we understand so if iran is going to push something that is beneficial to the russians , then it will be much more expensive and inconvenient to function. there is good news . this is simple good human news. no political plan, the well-known carrier will take doctors to work for free, the initiative is currently active in 14 cities of ukraine, the well- known uber carrier of nep, we are afraid to announce the name of this company, decided to

support our doctors and launched a three-month initiative in the framework of which doctors' trips to and from work will be paid for today, the ministry of health of ukraine was informed, the department says that such an initiative is very appropriate, because now there are problems with public transport, and for doctors it is the case when it is simply impossible not to go to work. i remember a similar initiative during the time of the coronavirus, when the stability of social and sanitary and epidemiological stability in our country practically depended on the doctors. then it worked and we still do. thank you to our doctors for such effective work in the next hour we will talk about uh, in particular, how contrasting our country is, and the personification of this contrast is very often our higher political leadership, which, even if we didn't want to, still reflects all of us collectively such a collective image of ukrainian society, well, at least this is my belief, i may

be wrong, but today was crowned by several really bright events, one of them is the visit of the ukrainian president to bakhmut, and it is really cool. i think that this surprised the russians there as well hysteria well, it really raised the morale of our soldiers, who were awarded, with whom the president spoke, and this demonstrates the courage of the ukrainian people, on the other hand , again, from the years of the president the signature of the controversial draft law on the reform of the constitutional court of ukraine voted in the verkhovna rada, a few days before that, the tsitsik commission updated its conclusions about it and hinted that it is not so good , but we are not listening again, we are standing firm and possibly risk politicizing this an important body in our country, all this will be after the news on the espresso tv channel, not eva melnyk, they will be presented, thank you
