for their activity, they are simply trying to earn a penny by showing that they can prove something and somehow convince the society that he does not have any russian passport regarding the deprivation of citizenship. as far as i understand, the president deals directly with his office , so far there have been no statements from there about deprivation citizenship, but i will tell you that before the war, probably the investigators did not deal so much with the topic of russian passports, the topic of cooperation with russia, now our war is pushing us to simply check in i will tell you that all the possible officials are subject to the presence of a russian passport. well, what can sometimes be established. well, it may seem unreal. a person has been a judge there for decades, and then it turns out

that she is already a citizen of russia. for decades , he also has some kind of real estate and drives there . to the crimea to rest the children things that, unfortunately, were not paid attention to before now it is very important your work here investigative journalists thank you for it maksym savchuk our colleague journalist-investigator of the radio scheme program svoboda v us news 15:00 iryna koval is already with us iro congratulations very nice shirt what are you there colleagues thank you very much and literally in a moment i will tell you the news of course i wanted this evening to be a holiday so they were really festive and very pleasant but unfortunately we we know that the russians today shelled kherson oblast, dnipropetrovsk oblast, kharkiv oblast, and we will learn more about the situation in kherson in just a moment

documented the consequences of another armed aggression of the russian federation and collected physical evidence in the dnipropetrovsk region, the air defense system worked successfully, this happened in the afternoon when an air raid alert was announced in the region, noted the head of the zelenodol community, dmytro neveselyi, but he did not provide any details. let me remind you that at night the oblast was again subjected to massive shelling, the occupiers attacked three communities myrivsk manganetsk and chervonogrigorivsk without casualties and we return to the news from the kherson region. and now i would like to hear from our correspondent artem lagutenko, who is in direct

contact with us, he works at the scene of the incident. since the de-occupation of the city in russia, terrorists attacked in the morning in the very center of the city, shelled the market, shelled the central department store of the city, it is now behind my back , that is, the most densely populated place with the largest concentration of people, it is known by the state for now, from official sources about eight dead and 58 people injured, among them 18 in serious condition, i noted that these are only official data, because from official sources it is about twenty dead people, i suggest now to listen to the comments of people who became witnesses and victims of these rocket attacks. i just finished i would lie down like that and it was all glass over there, it was all very strong, the explosion was very strong, very not what

hell i am talking in my ears, it was only a little bit gone to to the memory wet until now , there were many people here, there were many, but here there, i don't i was here a little bit, of course, this is the window. well, here, everything is here. i have a pot. i want the katsaps to just eat that borscht with colic because i was told. you see how it is here. bottles here. water. i also had water. here everything is the cornice. and i already have it before the new year. after all, i have decorated everything, the studio has already been prepared. i would also like to note that if the people of kherson are watching us, that tomorrow from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. they are asking the townspeople

to come and donate blood for the wounded, as well as i would like to note that they leave the city every day the evacuation of residents is safer in the areas of our country, the problem is that russian terrorists are increasing their shelling of kherson every day. they are located a few kilometers from the regional center on the other side of the dnipro , and therefore they can shell the city with artillery, we are not at any point of fashion, therefore nato is dangerous in the forest now and from here it is cloudy to evacuate history thank you artem take care this was our correspondent artem lagutenko from kherson where today is really black day and we express our sincere condolences to the families of all the victims and remind as artem lagutenko said that tomorrow you can come and donate blood from eight o'clock in the morning, we

of laws and customs of war to draw the attention of the whole world to the fate of the prisoners of the heroes of azov and to pray for them precisely for this purpose relatives and friends of azov came today to sofia square in the west, our tetyana litvinova and she are now in direct contact, and no, i congratulate you, please tell me how many people gathered for the action. congratulations, the studio of people gathered for the action, a lot, in fact. she finished a few minutes ago, it was about a hundred people, it's like you said, relatives, close ones of our defenders , defenders of mariupol and defenders of ukraine of the azov regiment, there were also azov citizens who had already been released from captivity. they also came to this action today, joined it, and actually timed this action for such christmas and

new year holidays, in particular, we will celebrate tomorrow the whole world is a catholic christmas, and families in ukraine also sit down at the christmas table, and that is why it is so symbolic today. near the main tree of unbreakableness, a table was laid, which was divided into two parts, one part of it was in such a traditional style. this is the table at which ukrainian families sit at christmas or the new year, and the other part is the body that will wait for our defenders. in captivity without food, as you know, and without any celebration at all, it is clear . remain in captivity from azov alone, this is more than 700 people. and of course, relatives are waiting for their relatives to return home and on the eve of christmas. they want to believe in miracles, that is why relatives also

believe in miracles and believe that all of them will return, not only the azov people, but also other soldiers and civilians who remain in it is not known what the number of prisoners is, but it is more than two thousand people who remain in russian captivity. well, the relatives of the prisoners are also called on these holidays when we sit down at the festive table to pray and remember the boys who are both in captivity and at the front. to speak because the people who have gathered here. they have been for several months, we know what is with their relatives. and of course, these new year's holidays are also with such longing, and this mood is also transmitted to the studios. sorry for the emotions and the market, tanya. thank you, it was ours. correspondent

tetyana litvinova from the capital tanya, i understand you. it is very difficult to speak, but we remember all the prisoners who are currently not at home. i also apologize. so, will the ukrainians be and are they preparing for christmas and the new year despite the full-scale war in ukraine as plan to celebrate and how much money they are ready to spend, we will find out just now, despite the war, the majority of ukrainians plan to celebrate the winter holidays according to the group survey, rating 91% of respondents will celebrate christmas , and 25% of them will celebrate the holiday twice, on december 25 and january 7, you can celebrate, but for the boys who do not are celebrating, it is necessary to be in solidarity, the holidays are dawning, but i think they should be supported more and i am not planning on you, because the war is a couple, i am from kherson myself, and they are shooting there, they are very worried in the family circle and

i will celebrate with my girlfriend. well, how do we celebrate ? we’ll just sit down. for sure, for sure, no . we ourselves are in zaporozhye. you understand. it’s not a very festive situation. you came here for this. we come traditionally to grandma’s. well, it should be without question. i think everyone, whether with candles or lights or without light he should be , but on the seventh, as in the church we are told even the garrison of the temple goes there on the seventh, we will celebrate on the seventh, show despite the increase in prices, according to the data of the survey of the devoid company in november, 61% of ukrainians do not plan give up holiday shopping , the most popular category of goods became food for the festive table, there will be a kind of improvisation of the table at a minimum, but i think that the most important of these dishes for ukrainian christmas will be kutia. probably, sweet borscht, sourdough. oh, and dumplings. yes, for a family circle

, meat, salads, go to the store, and already think of what you can take, thousand and five hryvnias, but it will not be like last years, it is calm there a small table, i don’t know, i don’t know, well, 1000 uah, i think it’s less than last year, but it’s still worth celebrating, although dumplings, cabbage rolls, jelly, 12 standard dishes, well, i think somewhere between two and three thousand , in addition, 61% of ukrainians plan to spend part of their holiday budget on aid armed forces of ukraine or civilians who suffered from the war, but obodinska andriy typusyak tv channel espresso for now, this was all the news for this time . you can read more, as always, on our website espresso tv the main thing is on the telegram channel espresso tv and on youtube my colleagues yehor chichyrynda and anna

facts give their assessment and forecast of the development of events, you want to understand how our today will affect our tomorrow, watch the saturday political club that on saturdays on espresso we continue our broadcast from 15-15 on the clock mrs. us ambassador to ukraine bridget bring condemned russia's shelling of kherson, as a result of which at least eight people have already died unfortunately, many were injured, 18 people were in a serious condition today, again a fierce attack by russia on the recently liberated kherson, the residents of the city suffered so much when the retreating russian troops cut off electricity and water, according to preliminary data , many dead and wounded are very important, very terrible, especially on the eve of christmas, a

lady wrote on twitter well, i asked how many drones were used, kyryla budanov also spoke about this in his interview, russia has already used 540 iranian drones in ukraine, and we will remind you of everything 1,700 they contracted in the morning and teheran supplies russia in batches. these are the drones themselves. well, kherson was shelled from artillery right in the middle of the day. in the morning, these shells flew into the center of the city. this is of course it is simply terrifying what is happening in kherson now journalists are being shelled again in kherson and at the moment the shelling is continuing and that is why we will inform you about the consequences of these shellings, yes, and we are moving on, we will join our next guests volodymyr khandogiy with us should be the president of the ukrainian association of foreign policy, an extraordinary representative ambassador mr. volodymyr, we congratulate you. good day. good health, mr. volodymyr. tell

me. here, i think that for the western world and in general for the entire christian world, terrible shelling of civilians in the center of the regional center on christmas eve, actually on the eve of christmas. what does this mean in general, how can it be perceived ? it's like christmas, although our christmas is also celebrated on the seventh of january, but this is not of great importance. it means that only the aggressors continue their indiscriminate aggressive war against ukraine, and therefore you cannot and will not condemn any emotions. call to the western state p. volodymyr, this week there was a significant event, the historic

cart visit of the president of ukraine to the united states of america, the first time he left at the beginning of a large-scale invasion, well, apparently there were also closed some negotiations, some of which the press writes about the fact that biden has three versions of the end of the war, but only one is supported by zelensky, the washington post wrote about it, and about these versions, which the presidents probably talked about, what is your opinion, and what will they invite us to, not to say incline and what is this versions, how should we perceive them, look, i don’t want to repeat those versions according to newarthams and everyone has read them, in fact, no one knows for sure what is the dominant version in washington, in my opinion, the first one version - this is the complete victory of the country in that war and the readiness of the united states of america to provide there support necessary

support and so much will be needed so this version that president payden is working today that i know or we all know the sounds and zelensky washington and this version is dominique other conspiracy theories about there some do you know any other possible options for bilateral contacts and there is a sounding, there is a desire to understand the position and negotiation from the side, well, in our case, it is an absolutely clear opposition to the date satellite, which, by the way , is also supported by europe. by the way, president baida

gave absolutely clearly. the absolutely conditional withdrawal of the russian invaders from the territory of ukraine at the border of 1991 is the preservation of territorial integrity and guarantees . belatedly and after censorship through several hands it comes to him from the front or is it really well seriously seriously seriously our colleagues write what can it be how do you evaluate such information they got it there from russian officials and people close to the kremlin, it seems, can there be such an attack on kherson? what do you think

? tend to comment on press reports, i don't know the information is received from the voice magazine believes that it receives the most reliable information, i have no reason to doubt it, it seems to me that the situation and the causes and consequences lie much deeper and it is not only about what information he receives, then how reliable they are, how much no, it is absolutely clear that we are the heirs of the algorithm of behavior of the russian authorities, their ideological political attitudes, this is their long-term course for years to destroy ukraine as an independent state, and therefore, i do not know, our tasks lie in the plane support

for aggression victory at victory points of the armed forces task of the diplomatic service to ensure unconditional provision and political support economic military support to ukrainian to the armed forces, we must work on this, and i, with all due respect, treat messages for their own mass information, well , each one is as necessary, well, make some of your own , enter the conclusions of this, well, i’m just quoting from some borshchagivska herald, i’m quoting dyvosvit, which is read in it is a respected publication all over the world. and i wonder why our colleagues are like that, i do not comment on the borshchag news, where was the street journal? i comment on the facts that are happening in the world . the message of the snakes, let it be even, lord, we just talked about york

, volodymyr, lukashenka's visits to the country, what should we talk about here? and how does this correlate with reports of a prominent threat from belarus ? a de facto war with ukraine, it provides both er and territory. here are the resources to carry out aggression against russia. belukashenka's visits to his mentor and president putin are already taking place, not for the first time, and they will continue. we must be absolutely clear to prepare. i think this is my opinion, the worst-case scenario. will it happen? well, of course, the statement about the virtuality and direct intervention of belarus in the war, i

can’t say, but before that, it is necessary to acquire more and volodymyr, but purely from the point of view of diplomacy, in general, negotiations, but only the day before yesterday, it seems that there was a meeting between the two of them in minsk, and now there is another meeting already on the territory of russia. this is the intensity of the negotiation meetings. what can this indicate , that is, they are discussing something about something? the continuation of some kind of joint action, the intensity may be related to something simple , well, let's not forget that both russia and belarus live in the conditions of the so-called union state and the intensity of contacts of the leaders of these so -called leaders of the so-called union state is high enough, it will continue, it was high before and now continues definitely they agree their rather they don't even agree i definitely

lukashenko goes to a presentation to his mentor putin receives instructions from him tries to somehow, let's say, sit on two chairs sometimes well, what will it lead to, well, it is difficult to say now, but i will repeat again that this is about e, so to speak, the more active involvement of belarus in the direct participation in the war of the war of russia against ukraine france how do you comment on macron's statements about the unlikely accession of ukraine to nato i accept well, let's do it, i think that at this stage, at this time, so to speak , we should listen to what macron said - this is his first and perhaps not

the last statement regarding the possibility of ukrainians acquiring nato membership, this is the position of france it goes, let's say the depth back in 2008. as you remember bucharest, namely those nato there , france, together with germany, were actually disrupted, occupied ukraine and the pdc was p and regarding membership, the position does not change, but i read that today's words of macron are exaggerated to a large extent, they are calculated for domestic consumption, next year the nato summit will be held. as we know, in the 23rd year, it will , in my opinion, be the place where possible political decisions will be made, and we need to focus our work with nato member states, above all with france germany with those skeptics who remain among the members in order to

ensure that the appropriate decisions are made there next year. well, if we were to be realistic, so to speak, in the active phase of the war that we are going through, we can hardly expect any decision from the alliance regarding the concrete steps for ukraine to become a member sonata, although i have absolutely no doubt that after the victory, after the end of the war, this issue will definitely be resolved in the interests of ukraine . the third president of russia, after all, the deputy secretary of the national security and defense council. congratulations on the personal meeting with the leader of china. well , at least at the party level, they, as leaders of the united russia party and the communist party of china, met. what else could be discussed and what the consequences of this meeting were? would not attach too

much importance to this visit, you correctly said that it took place within the framework of more party ties, it was not official, it was not a state visit, well, on the one hand, here on my view is bears, as they say, he showed a little initiative with this visit, he is trying to get on the top echelons of the kremlin power, well, on the other hand, it is hardly necessary to expect or can expect any concrete results from this visit, positive is possible and such is the prevailing opinion . well, let's say so, if he used to exclusively uh, half-conversations, what negotiations were there and accepted putin. it was his level, then accepting these calls, let's say so.

agreements, i would not like, so to speak, to emphasize too much on this thesis. but really , such a visit and a reception by mr. medvedev there, it is impossible to say so, one can talk about some possible, well, let's say a change of orientation in the leaders between the leaders in the kremlin, well, it is so mine absolutely assumptions. that is, it is more of a party visit and it did not bring and could not bring any concrete results. thank you very much , mr. volodymyr, for your comments. ambassador plenipotentiary oleksandr levchenko, diplomat extraordinary , should join next
