gothenburg, ukrainians have started preparations for the christmas holidays, the christmas nativity scene, the ukrainian traditional kutia, the swedes were able to see and try all this, children and adults from all over ukraine united in the nativity scene, and the preparations lasted more than a month, but how ukrainians preserve their traditions in scandinavia, let's look further these days in one from the largest cities of sweden and gothenburg, the ukrainian community is actively preparing for the christmas holidays. on christmas day, teachers and students of the ukrainian sunday school in gothenburg prepared the nativity scene and showed it in one of the churches in gothenburg. in addition to the festive concert, the ukrainians also offered a traditional ukrainian

christmas table. it's even a drop , but to reproduce one's native here in a foreign country so that the swedes can also see that ukrainian culture has an extremely great christmas legacy that should be heard and not only in ukraine, but all over the world, almost the whole of december, children in sunday school were busy collecting and making various materials, children learned how to do carols three weeks in advance, we are united and say, be afraid, your traditions are the most precious and we must show them that we also know how to celebrate christmas with their traditions, the teachers of the school say that they have been working with ukrainian children for a year already, the school teaches humanities, for example, ukrainian and swedish, as well as exact and natural sciences, geography, mathematics and even psychology is changed by mathematics and so on we

study ukraine we study the regions of ukraine we study ukrainian culture we recently studied ukrainian symbols we wrote it down in ukrainian on the board children who know how to write write who forgot rewrites we just practice often children forget e-e letters even ukrainian ones we forget we can’t i think that we cannot allow this to happen. we are learning another culture, but we have no right to forget ours. our children are ukrainians and we are there to prevent them from forgetting that we are ukrainians. it is wonderful that some percentage may not return to their country, but each of us in our hearts still identifies with our country and represents all of ukraine, the teachers say that children and parents from different parts of ukraine gathered in sunday school, as well as those who have

lived in sweden for a long time and those who came after the one-scale invasion of russia say that the swedes are interested in ukraine and ask about it. they are especially interested in traditions and culture. it is very interesting and informative to learn about new traditions from ukraine. acquaintances and constantly ask what is interesting about us, what is a kutya, what are christmas carols and carols, why do we have them? it seems to me that when a person moves to a new country, he should not forget his roots and try to show his traditions in the new country so that people also know and share swedes also joined the organization of the christmas carol, one of them, lars, has been helping ukrainian refugees with humanitarian needs and learning swedish since march. lars says he admires

ukrainians, so he really wanted more swedes got acquainted with ukrainian culture this year i am actively involved in the work of the ukrainian sunday school, here i met all these fantastic teenagers and their parents, it is a great pleasure to work with them, so when it came to the christmas event i immediately said let's go to my church, i think many swedes want to help and support ukraine, especially now. but sometimes it is difficult to find a way. how to do it, for example, in this church where the action took place, the community wanted to help ukrainians , and i told them that i know the best ukrainians in gothenburg and i know them. personally, i have never seen a ukrainian carol. i have been to ukraine twice, so i am a little familiar with the language and some traditions, but not much, so this nativity scene is a really good experience for

us, ukrainians in gothenburg support the transition to celebrating christmas on december 25 to be along with the western world, families are going to gradually change the time of celebration from january to december. and some keep the tradition of celebrating christmas on both dates. 24 so we are preparing for the 25th. we celebrate the 25th. until this year, ukrainian christmas was also celebrated on january 7. in the circle of ukrainian friends, this year we are rethinking and probably we will celebrate everything on the 25th, we want to celebrate in this europe and thereby further distance ourselves from russia for the espresso tv channel, that was all the news for this time, i can only wish you a quiet evening and night and a delicious corner and my colleagues vitaliy portnikov and anzhelika sezonenko will start evening broadcasts on the espresso tv channel in just a moment. we will

congratulations, friends, on the saturday broadcast. political club anzhelika sizonenko and vitaly portnikov good evening if you can call it that, even though it is christmas eve however, the russians shelled the center of kherson today and unfortunately 10 civilians were killed 55 received the injury is as of an hour ago what is known about this very topic, let's start a conversation with a military expert, first of all we must say volodymyr kopchak, we have a military expert on the line, the head of the caucasian branch of the center for army conversion and armament research in tbilisi, first of all we must say what it is a tragedy is predicted because there were. it is clear that as soon as we liberate kherson, the russians begin to destroy it, despite the fact that it is like a nearby center of the russian federation . there was a meme well, they are calm without problems , volodymyr, how do they explain it in general, an

interesting moment, the truth. well, my greetings, when is it more christmas? horseman, well, look , there is nothing strange for me about what is happening in kherson, because, unfortunately, we already have to go to kherson, let's say such a term, we live in conditions where with each liberated territory and with each liberation of a small region, we receive collective participation. therefore, now, unfortunately, this did not surprise me in any way , regarding kherson, you know at which moments i would like to pay attention now, there is a lot of talk about a possible offensive from the belarusians behind kyiv and so on. i share the opinion that taking kyiv, especially for the second time after the uh-uh campaign at the end of february this year, is impossible, on the other hand, you have to understand that the barbarians will be satisfied with the conditions when they, for example, in kyiv, some other populated areas, in particular chernihiv, will be able to fire from the

s300 complexes. intimidation for the terror of the civilian population and with missiles to these complexes, they have no problems, but they have such an indirect sign , you can imagine how many of them are in warehouses, if ukraine still retains the potential to work in the anti-aircraft mode about e-e complex with the same s300 therefore, let's say yes, the kherson incident is another, unfortunately, it is not the last in kherson, and it is not only necessary to understand that the enemy will not simply give up, in principle, the type of terrorist attack. in this regard, the only thing from the audience is not only ukrainian there are still people in the south caucasus who are surprised by this matter, that is, now it can be surprising only because it surprises someone else, we just have to realize who we are dealing with

, and this is without regard to the geography of ukraine and other regions of the country, this is just our fate now let's try to sum up from these 10 meters of the month exactly on the 24th, somewhere a month ago, in fact, this war started, what can we talk about now, the most important thing is that ukraine resisted , the most important thing is that the transformation from to resist eh, let's say so, russia can't lose anymore, ukraine can't help but win, this is the most important thing for me, eh, let's say, this transformation is difficult for me, eh, other pathetic things, experiencing it, let it be said from tbilisi, it happened, eh, let's say so ukrainians have proven not so much to themselves but to this world that they are ready to overcome this monster, this is the main conclusion. sorry for the emotions of these 10 months. if we talk about the

subject further, try on how the events will happen in 10 months. i emphasize not the beginning of the war, but let's say 10 months. of the full-scale phase of the russian-ukrainian war, we have the option when the aggressor moved and practically openly declared it to the strategy to the war strategy and now ukraine is undergoing a transformation in the eu at the stage of preparation , including with the help of our partners, for this very war of attrition and as no matter who says about the difference in the potential of another choice in ukraine, in my opinion, ukrainians don't have one. i'm here . let's just say that i won't give any time frame when it can all end in the sense of because how and what is it may end in the next 23rd year, i am not so much a pessimist here, but in my opinion,

realism if there is not a banal change of face in the kremlin, not a movement, not a kremlin design, no, putin’s replacement will not happen, the 25th year will have to fight in the format wars of attrition and how the russian federation let's put it this way during this 22nd year, it transformed-transformed its mobilization plans, prepared, learned how to fight, how to adapt, uh, kept the economy one way or another for the 23rd year, i think they will be enough, volodymyr i have now you know the flashback of a few months before the full-scale invasion on february 24, when there was a lot of news in the information space about a new offensive from belarus, and then we heard more warnings from western partners, and inside the country they mostly said that it was impossible . troops are stationed there, but they have been stationed for a long time.

and now we see that even in ukraine there are very different opinions about whether an offensive is possible or impossible. well, for example, in the american institute for the study of war, they also say that it is allegedly probable that their troops but maybe it’s just putin’s threats and that’s all, but he’s not going to attack belarus again. how do you see who to believe now and what the satellite images are showing us and so on? look, i’ll say my opinion, which i’ve said more than once and which i’m already tired of myself to my deep conviction, lukashenko promised putin a long time ago, promised the kremlin that he would enter the country with his own armed forces in one or another format, smeared with russian units there without insignia, etc. i am absolutely convinced here, but he was just as unpleasantly surprised as the kremlin by the development of the russian

federation's armed offensive in ukraine, so there are such paradoxical moments that the less success the russian federation has on the ukrainian front , the more the kremlin needs this offensive, the less it wants to carry out lukash's eight-point coordinate system, this offensive and a potential offensive are being considered, so i believe that it will take place in one way or another in my opinion, and the only thing i can do here is, let 's say, the information of various analysts and to hope that let's say so to convince them and actually to be convinced that the defense forces of ukraine are cut to the level of all, let's say, formats of development, they know how the situation will develop, what will be the dynamics of the group's expansion in known directions , in fact there are not so many of them, therefore, in my opinion, ukraine will be able to react, including prejudice, to my deep conviction that the crossing of the border by the armed forces of the

russian federation or some united group or formally with the belarusians, with or without an announcement, will open, let's say so the format of shooting both in response and prejudice at military facilities on the territory of belarus by the defense forces of ukraine . therefore, it makes sense to hear that the belarusians, as soon as they enter, will immediately go over to our side, there they will join the kospis kalinovsky division, and that will be the end of it, that is, even for a certain period, i agreed with you that such a thing was going on, the impression that for it would be good for us if they entered and that everything, uh, this whole thing ended quickly, such scenarios are uh, insanely possible, but we can have no doubt that lukashenko, first of all, has a very good command of sociology inside belarus

, and in my opinion, uh, belarusians are on the same level special operations forces which, by the way, are at the level of the special forces, which, by the way, when they were absolutely loyal to lukashenko, when they dispersed the protests in the 20th year in august, if i am not mistaken, against my own belarusians, what am i leading to, that they will perform decorations, they will fight, that is, there i wouldn't expect any kind of total capture. on the other hand, at the moment, i can only quote more specialized military experts that the groups there absorb different numbers. let's say that at the stage of increasing the preparation of the exercises, about 11,000 is not enough to solve any problems . let's say this. important tasks for the occupation of ukrainian territory, but the task, for example, is to prevent the dispersion of the defense forces of ukraine, which could be involved, for example, in the east of ukraine in the south of ukraine. of course, they perform this task, i do not like front

analogies, if someone now promised ukraine as if from an organ to stalin that japan would not attack the soviet union, if this issue could be removed from the agenda on the part of belarus, everything would end on the front in our favor much, much faster, this is a medical fact . in principle, if we talk about an invasion from the side of belarus, we can talk about some options, how do you see it? option well, in fact, there are not so many that connect the east and west of ukraine or the defense centers of ukraine. this is, for example, cutting again on the surface. and i e road and railway

nodes, this is the infrastructure, volodymyr, of the railway infrastructure, the beginning is political , directly energy, of course, well, as we can see now , they do not even succeed with the energy infrastructure in relation to their logic with high-precision weapons systems there calibers diluted there hasto first and rockets chieran mopeds or shakets ot that is, it is also on the surface but on the other hand, well, i don’t want so much the audience as to calm myself down i know a little i grew up unevenly i know a little that and i don’t have that region suma, what is there and at the level of the regular defense forces of ukraine and at the level of those who are part of the defense forces of ukraine, grant me the fire at the level of the defense forces deployed in staraya amber diggers there is being prepared quite carefully, and i

have no doubt about this regarding bahmut, here is information that the ukrainian forces have probably achieved tactical successes to the east and south of bahmut over the last 72 hours, can you confirm this, maybe you can explain in more detail what ways and prospects it opens us up and colleagues, i can only hold my fists, pray and report to the armed forces while in tbilisi. the information is carefully confirmed. thank you , mr. volodymyr. volodymyr kopchak, military expert, head of the south caucasian branch , the conversion and armament evaluation center, tbilisi. and now our next interlocutor is the former ambassador of the united states to ukraine , the chairman
