whether they are trying to counterattack good night , the situation in bakhmut near bakhmut continues be of course very intense, the battle is in full swing, the battle that has been going on here for many months, the intensity of the battles is very high, the density of the front is very high, the enemy is actually pulling here now and has actually pulled here all the fighting forces that he still has left, but the ukrainian defense forces, in particular, and our svoboda battalion, our fourth operational brigade of the national guard, all other units of the armed forces of the national guard, all other forces of the defense forces of ukraine, which are currently in the bakhmut direction. the edge of the front bravely and steadfastly carry out the tasks er keep defining the boundaries inflict great losses on the enemy yes, it would be very difficult because they are exhausting but glory is the infantry

glory to the ukrainian artillerymen ukrainian aviation that continues to work er shorter is better for all those who are here now because really in in these very difficult battles, the enemy is exhausting its forces, and we can say that this battle for bakhmut has definitely already entered the history of this war, regarding the city itself, the city is under full ukrainian control, all the main roads to bakhmutu is under ukrainian control, there were attempts by the enemy to infiltrate the eastern outskirts of the city, but there were a number of successful ukrainian counterattacks from there, and in principle at the moment it can be affirmatively said that the city is completely under ukrainian control, and there have also been no significant enemy advances in the last few actions there. not in the city,

not in the general direction, ah, andrii, tell me the situation, well, this is not a highway . on the part of the occupiers of this road, what is the current situation ? well, they are not even close to it yet, that is, this road was and is under ukrainian control. civilians can now move on this road, well, civilians, in principle, should not be there a long time ago. if i were to say how is because if we are talking about bakhmut itself, it has already been said repeatedly by representatives of the ukrainian authorities and the military-civilian administration of all ukrainian military personnel that civilians should evacuate areas of such intense

hostilities, it is absolutely wrong when civilians are in such circumstances , and nevertheless, in the midst of chaos, you see people continue and stay, despite the fact that the city no longer has the benefits of civilization, in fact andriy, and in fact, i would like to hear about the tactics and strategy that he uses what is the enemy doing now, what kind of forces is he throwing at it , maybe you know about the weapons that he uses, or does the enemy continue to throw at the outskirts of bahmut with the bodies of the wagnerites ? is it possible that you are already watching ah, the arrival of these partially mobilized well, of course, there are also these partially mobilized and wagnerians, all wagnerians are also different. that is, there are professional mercenaries who use the same

tactics, there are ezeki on whom they are used as absolute cannon fodder, they conduct reconnaissance by combat, that is, there are very it's a motley, collective mess that works against us. i 'm sure that in principle we've already experienced all this in one way or another, but if it doesn't change anything in particular, that is, for the ukrainian soldier at the front, there is a task destroy the enemy and it doesn't matter who this enemy is, a prisoner, a mercenary, a wagnerian, are there any regular troops there, or are they mobilized? that is, it can only be known after the fact , but in general, their tactics are quite conservative, in general, the russian army is quite conservative from the point of view of tactics, because this is essentially the same old soviet army, er, they basically acted as they did in 1942 and with comrade

zhukov’s methods. under no circumstances do i want you to perceive it as if it is so easy and simple. it is very difficult and very difficult, but the fact that they do not protect their own is a fact that they absolutely do not care how many of their personnel will die, they do not care about it at all , well, they they probably think that they will always be able to replenish with evaluators, but if one thing is a mobster who doesn’t even really learn it, from which side the machine guns fire. it’s a completely different matter a professional mercenary who has a lot of military experience, but they and you lose hits in battles. well, but in in any case, the enemy must be hated, the enemy must be destroyed, but he must not be underestimated, because underestimating the enemy also never leads to anything good. and i wanted to ask about the street fights in the city, yes, hm. i understand that there was some possibility of these fights starting. so when they tried to

get closer there, and analysts, in particular, british ones. i saw such a thesis that they say that it is difficult for the russians to fight street battles in bakhmut. history especially for those who are on the offensive, because there is always a place to hide in the city, in the city you can always organize an ambush there, there is danger from all sides, it is very different from fighting in the fields, but in the bakhmut direction there are mostly just the same battles in the fields, that is, many people think that there are the main battles in the city. well, there were battles in the city, but still, the main battles are taking place precisely on the northern and southern flanks from bakhmut, where they want to make a breakthrough and surround the city, and there is

an all-out war in the style of the first of the world a-a-a where exactly such a thing is er not at all urban not at all urban battles on the city are afraid, in principle, for the attacking side it is much more difficult than it would be to conduct in the fields, but in any case you did not have to meet the enemy or in the city or in the field in the clear, the ukrainian infantry is still a head higher because it is much more motivated because the ukrainian soldier understands what he is fighting for, he is fighting for himself, for his family, for his loved ones, for his country, and the occupier is just a madman who i came here to do it crimes and killing peaceful people, and he is only waiting for retribution to end his worthless life here on ukrainian soil, mr. andrii, and i thank you very much. i wish as much as possible under those conditions. peace and good night to you. and take care

of yourself. andrii illenko, lieutenant of the freedom of the fourth battalion of the brigade of the national guard of ukraine was in touch with us, and separately from the team of the first public broadcasting channel, they wanted to thank the 63rd separate mechanized brigade because this video that you saw during our conversation is it was actually exclusively filmed and provided by military personnel of the 63rd brigade , so thank you, guys, for what you do and your work, protect us, and also inform yourself, help inform society and show what is left of the city that developed itself in donbass, there is not a single house in the village, communications are broken, the streets are empty, almost all the local residents have left the town hall in donetsk region, the russian troops destroyed the village,

our journalists visited the village, this temple was built in 1847 - it stood for 175 years for two during world war ii, the village of bogorodichna, a few kilometers from sviatohirsk, before the full-scale war, was home to about 700 people. collect them. yevhen came from the destroyed house. they first moved there to the basements, and then on the 20th , when they had already been thoroughly destroyed, lava and they used to live over the road from here, i had a new house that was broken, such things were taken away, what was left in this old house , how is it, a vacuum cleaner, a car, a car, now the village is empty, lonely, hungry dogs, dogs they are waiting for the return of their owners, this is the one who lives in a gutted house where the owners are unknown, when he sees people, he starts to caress, but does not stop meowing, we lived

here, there are many people, you can 200,300. in the lavra, there, and we live very much, a fellow villager will come back, they won't see what the virgin village of bosnia is, the remains of shells on the streets, that it will take several years to completely demine the village, here we are we see signs with warnings about the danger of mines about sviatohirsk, that there is a very large amount of all ammunition there. okay , we multiply it many times over there, because bogorodichna became such a bridgehead that prevented us from reaching slavyansk. and this is if we are talking about the strategist, the river prevented and the mountain and the russians couldn't force the river, the bogorodichna, the battles were on the

ground and the battles were very fierce , we will slowly, somehow, those who remained will gather in the second village, and one will build the foundation for the second, the third . then somehow, well, i don't know how to express i will not be from here, i buried my son , that's why everything is rooted in such a way that the nuclear bomb will not drive out anastasia holosiuk anastasia dashko andriy reznikov oleksandr buryak bas further we continue to learn about the situation on the border of the sumy region, we talk about it with our correspondent kateryna gladenko, we are joined by a- and kateryna , the day before sumyshchyna was actually hit by massive strikes, what is the situation for this day ? yes, congratulations, the russian military continues to shell the border sumyshchyna, 45 shells were fired today, two were fired upon the communities of esmenysk and krasnopil in the

krasnopil community were first shelled with mortars and then an explosive was dropped from a drone on the ottoman community which was fired from artillery and the roof of the building was damaged and the windows were blown out the same situation was actually the same and yesterday more than 50 projectiles were fired along the border four communities were shelled with the most destruction in the village from kraskivshchyna, this is the bilopol community, there are about 16 mines that exploded just on the streets near the houses of residents, photo reports we can see that the cultural center has been damaged. there was a direct hit to the roof, and two houses of local residents were also destroyed. the local store was damaged. the

power grids were damaged, but to our credit. in the russian military, or rather, a subversive reconnaissance group of russians tried to enter the territory of sumy oblast. these were 10 people who crossed the border. fighters of the territorial defense and, as is known , as a result of which the two russians who were killed, the rest returned to the territory of russia from our side . according to reports, there are no dead or injured. thank you, kateryna, for this information . the day before, a group of the occupying forces tried to cross the state border of ukraine. well, there was a short pause, after which we will return and talk more about the

situation in ukraine. this is a story about the state of ukraine steel will and character hardened in the sacred fire this is my story cold sweat and hot tears heart that remains alive about the soul that was born the free story of my earth where the new destiny of an unbreakable country is forged metal in my hands and in the bodies of my enemies in the voice that promises us victory we we make this world stronger ukrainians are a nation of steel men

they work in the dark giving us light even during rocket attacks despite the weather and danger day and night they do everything possible to keep us warm and communication may be interrupted, 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 are light, thanks to you, we will survive the winter, we must have energy, thank you for christmas, one wish , victory today is our third date, i

saw in your eyes the one with whom i would like to live my life, i wanted to ask if you would become mine forever, but commander nazar called. out of 116 civil servants have gone missing , more than 3,500 are serving in the armed forces of ukraine, and almost 6,000 civil servants have left ukraine. such data is provided by the national agency of ukraine on civil service, however, the system of state administration

was not significantly affected by this, the confident minister of the cabinet of ministers of ukraine oleg nimchynov, moreover, the reform of the civil service is advancing faster. also thanks to the status of ukraine as a candidate for membership in the european union, what does the reform entail, what changes will the salaries of officials undergo, and what will happen with with their bonuses and allowances about this and not only with a member of the government igar shavrop talked about the level of pay of a civil servant should be decent another question is that now in the conditions of armed aggression of the russian federation and the active phase, first of all, it is the security sector, now everything is focused on ensuring the security sector the armed forces and other military formations that are engaged in the defense of our state, everything is necessary. oleg. i welcome you to the first channel of public broadcasting. thank you for uh, in your busy schedule, we know that you

now, just after the meeting, we found time to chat. today, good afternoon, i would like to ask, well, such a naive question, i want to ask about your work, because if i'm not mistaken, you are the only minister in the cabinet who does not head the ministry, if we understand, for example, what the minister of health is responsible for. i am the minister of culture, the minister of economy, yes, they have their own ministries, they have a certain list of powers, and what is the minister of the cabinet of ministers responsible for, well, according to the current law on the cabinet of ministers of ukraine, the government can to be two members of the government who head separate ministries in our government - this is the vice-prime minister for issues of reintegration and the traditional minister of the cabinet of ministers of ukraine until 2016 until the position of public sectors was introduced, including in the cabinet of ministers of ukraine, the authority of the minister of the cabinet was until we now they are focusing on the fact that you organize

the direct work of the government as a collegial body and also it is the coordination of the activities of the central executive bodies e-e which are not coordinated by other members of the government or is directly subordinate to the cabinet of ministers of ukraine, what is it? well, for example, for example from the last one that went under the cabinet of ministers. this is the state service of zetnopolitics and freedom of conscience. before that, a decision was made on state cinema. similarly, there are separate bodies that were a priori under the cabinet of ministers of ukraine, in particular, this is a national agency from the civil service, this is a block of central bodies of the executive power, with a special status, in particular collegiate bodies, in particular, the antimonopoly committee is a commission for the regulation of gambling games and lotteries this is the state property fund, which has a special status, a separate method - this is a block of anti-corruption bodies, in particular, this is the security economy bureau, this is nazc, this is nabu, this is an agency for

searching for property and assets, which has now acquired a completely new meaning in connection with the confiscation of russian assets, this is, of course, the state statistics service, which already from the 19th year we have in the cabinet of ministers of ukraine. that is, this is a serious list of central bodies of executive power. formed by three ministries, this is the ministry of economy, the ministry of agrarian policy, the ministry of health, we are talking about the state consumer service, which was created actually in accordance with the requirements of the european e-e rules on product quality care, but as well as - in particular, during the pandemic, a significant part was e-e the work is dedicated to anti-epidemiological activities, well, i want to say that, for example, the policy regarding the state and the commission for the regulation of gambling games also helps to form the vice-prime minister

for digital transformation, but since they are directly subordinated to the cabinet of ministers of ukraine, of course. prior to the coordination of their activities, the minister of the cabinet of ministers in recent months and on the air of the national telethon and on your youtube channel spoke very often about the reform of public administration and in general about the public service. still arise in relation to the optimization of the work of the state apparatus, we often hear from the mass media after the report to the example of the security service of ukraine about what was discovered traitors, collaborators in the ranks of civil servants. do you have information on how many of them were discovered during these more than 300 days of russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine, and do i already have any suspicions about them? well, let's start with the last of your sentences, it

serves the security of ukraine her verdicts against the employees of the secretariat of the cabinet of ministers of ukraine who were exposed in cooperation with the enemy or in negligence in working with documents when people who received access to the documents were working and i think that the security service of ukraine, as a special body authorized for counter-intelligence activities, will be happy to comment on this to me. i think it is not too much to comment on the fact that these employees of the secretariat of the cabinet of ministers were exposed. this is exactly what happened during this period after 24, let's say, part of them were conducted regarding moreover, part of it, after some employees were exposed, they were discovered in a special way in us as a result of working with these people, but i say once again that this is a very specific direction and i really think that it is i who should comment specialists who worked there, we were informed about some measures, accordingly, the actions there helped, but all the same, i recently read such an interesting phrase somewhere in

one of the mass media. and about the fact that the state is the largest employer in the country over the civil service in local self- government bodies agencies, commissions, the fact that more than 5 million ukrainians work, however, it is clear that not all of them are civil servants , how many civil servants are there in ukraine now, er, how many occupy the relevant positions, a very dynamic number, we have more than 200 000 civil service positions, but they are occupied month by month because it is a living organism , people are fired, people are appointed, people are currently dying, sometimes they get sick, they retire, etc., about 183,000 people are currently active in the civil service, so you named the actual number of people who receive wages directly or indirectly through the state budget, this includes the security sector, this includes educators, this is health care, this is a lot of other people who are called budgetary absolutely

well, conditionally yes conditionally yes, because for example in the health care system and not only conditional state employees receive funds from the state budget, otherwise now the contrast goes through the health service, but in general, these are people who are connected with receiving funds from taxpayers because any funds in the state budget are, as a rule, taxpayers' funds, now due to the armed aggression of the russian federation, they are partly funds received from western partners, but they still go to the state budget and then it is redistributed like this, if we are talking about civil servants against the background of the number you announced, it is of course a much smaller part than even the employees of local self-government bodies, etc. local state administrations were transferred as part of the completion of the first stage to centralization in the 20th year, and many local state administrations were reduced, consolidation of administrative units, and the very

functionality of district state administrations significantly narrowed, therefore, in this case, it is a natural process, we bring out the closest government forces an updated strategy for reforming public administration, and actually in it we take into account the nuances of the active phase of the armed aggression of the russian federation, the strengthening of the security component and the challenges associated with this, and the second point is that that ukraine received the status of a candidate for the european union and it is necessary to synchronize both the civil service and public service in general with the requirements of european directives, although the assessment of the previous who spoke there as part of the sigma program, who is conducting an assessment of the actual capacity of european countries in the field of public administration. she says that in this we are the closest to the standards of the european union precisely in this strategy. i would like to talk separately about public administration reforms, however, i want i will also return to civil servants the fact that the numbers are dynamic, especially

now during martial law actions during a full-scale invasion. and do you know how many civil servants resigned during this time, uh, how many went abroad because it is possible that they died. these are the numbers . we kept these active statistics until the beginning of summer. i will explain why. because it was an active phase of hostilities around kyiv and the northern regions. and at this moment there are a lot of women with children, and it is not a secret for anyone. that women make up the lion's share of civil servants who were forced to leave both their regions and sometimes countries, and on the other hand, there are requirements of the law on civil service in independence of gender, age, etc., if you take the oath of a civil servant, you put it on yourself certain responsibilities, a whole series of legislative decisions would be adopted by people's deputies, which allowed some special features of public service during martial law

, including the conditions for terminating employment without dismissal, as well as the opportunity for those citizens who, as a result of russia's armed aggression, are among the state of employees was forced to find herself abroad, terminating such relationships, receiving payments from e-e foreign countries, it is possible to have some part- time work, because otherwise it would be direct corruption, since it is not for anyone the secret of civil servants is that they have clear sources of income and in the future they declare them and none of these were foreseen in the current legislation, in general, i want to say that i do not have complete statistics for the entire civil service, but of course there are losses because, like any strata of society civil servants have also from the first days become the head of the security sector, this applies to all blocks of the security sector, both the armed forces of ukraine and territorial defense as a component of the armed forces of ukraine security service of ukraine state border service national guard, all places where mobilization was carried out. for example, in our civil service, one of the heads of

regional units died, there were losses during shelling. it is no secret that there were losses in mykolayivska oda, kharkiv employees of local self-government bodies were killed during rocket attacks. well, of course, you already mentioned collaboration unfortunately, it turns out that the collaboration due to the liberation of the territory in the north of the kharkiv region due to the deoccupation of the right bank of the kherson region and the security services also work with those people who betrayed their oath, this applies to both civil servants and employees of local self-government bodies, i think that they also have interesting statistics, unfortunately, i do not have them, taking into account everything that you have just told me, is there anyone to work in the civil service, is there anyone left to work or do you feel a shortage of personnel? you and i have already talked about the difference between the official number and the actual number, it arose for a reason
