problems but er in the long er perspective if all of us christians find a single calendar yes i i will be very hm happy there is a tendency to change to switch to not the javanese calendar, but rather the western calendar, you can say. i don't see it as a big problem, but it's a fact, lord, tomorrow there will also be a traditional speech by the pope, urbiat orbi, an address to the city and the world, on the occasion of christmas, or at least the topic of this speech is known in advance and whether it will be mentioned there you can say ukraine, i don't know exactly what words the pope will use, but

all these 10 months, the pope has been talking about ukraine every day at every meeting, so this means that tomorrow baba baba baba will be inno and frozen in ukraine. and will mention ukraine. only i don’t know exactly in what words . because right now, when we are talking with the archbishop from asphaltus kolbokos , the special christmas service in the basilica of st. peter in the vatican is going on right now, we also broadcast it from time to time, and to you bishop in it's just a personal appeal to

me . these last 9 months, too, i practiced a lot in ukrainian and every day it gets easier and easier. days it's like minimum, that is, so they say, there is the first day of christmas, the second day of christmas, the third day of christmas, after all, we also have a big one with paska as well and it’s like three days, but christmas in this sense is special, according to your observations, it is something so distinctly ukrainian, or for example, do you also have this the tradition of extending the christmas holiday so much longer, this bright such a holiday, i myself

was born in lithuania, there is no such tradition in lithuania. i think that this is more a tradition that we have in ukraine, in poland. it can be for me, it is very nice, and today is the very first we sang the christmas carol together with his beatitude sviatoslav the supreme architect, the head of the greek catholic church , he is the first because we met today and the first christmas carol was with him. he knows that this is already an excuse for us roman catholics, but then i will continue to celebrate christmas with him, er, with blessed sviatoslav, on january 7, for me it will not be three days, but at least two weeks . yes, er, thank you, lord, for finding the time for

good celebrations, as peaceful as it is possible in our time, and of course, christ is all gives birth, as they say, archbishop wisfalta sculpbok from pabsky nuncio in ukraine and the vatican ambassador in ukraine was with us in our festive on air for christmas one wish victory according to the regime of total economy from 7 to 23 turn off all unnecessary electrical appliances help restore the country's power grid every vyshyvanka is a symbol of the indomitability and rebirth of ukraine, we will heal our wounds, we will decorate the scars with flowers, ukrainian destiny will blossom again like poppies in the field, ukraine will be embroidered revival

is strong unbreakable free for christmas one wish victory during a long power outage prepare products that can be stored for a long time without a refrigerator keep products from the refrigerator on the balcony if possible make sufficient reserves of hot water in thermoses for preparing fast food prepare now let's defeat the darkness together kherson, which was subjected to brutal russian shelling today, is still returning to life, for example,

yesterday sviatoslav vakarchuk was there and even on the antoniv bridge he played an improvised small, actually acoustic performance, we can even look briefly at how it was a foreign tire and strangely bloom on earth my naisu whose song because i am today sviatoslav is already in

chisinau there he has a performance we have the opportunity to communicate with him via video link sviatoslav i wish you a good evening even though it seems like today as far as i know you are celebrating it would be nice to say christmas today, christ is born in the same way christ is born, this is true, this year we made a decision as a family that we are starting to celebrate, it is already officially called christmas on this day , december 25, as most christians in the world do a-a it is with great joy that i want to congratulate everyone who celebrates christmas today, those who celebrate it, and according to the old tradition, on january 7, even everyone who does not celebrate christmas, because i am because there are others faith i want to wish you know this this day is a day of light i i want all of us to consider the victory of light over darkness, which will happen sooner or later, but i want it to happen as

soon as possible. it is very symbolic to wish for light at a time when the russians are just the light and want to take away this christmas star that heralded the birth of christ. how did this happen ? it is a family decision to celebrate december 25. it seems to me that the tradition of celebrating christmas is very important for us, it is important for christians to remember this day. it is one of the two biggest christian holidays and it is really very symbolic. we are all waiting for miracles and want to hear, but in reality you have to create a miracle with your own hands, and that is why the content of this holiday is very bright, and the form of this holiday seems to me to be, let's say, so close to the form that is close to europeans and to the representatives of those people who today

help us to fight for this light. i think it will be right, ah, i do not think that it is necessary to impose my choice on someone, but it seems to me that it will be right for me and for ukrainians today. unfortunately, i am i understand that it will not be possible to celebrate christmas directly in the family circle, because after visiting kherson, you immediately go to chisinau. that's right, we have a concert in the evening at the largest venue in chineva . i am very happy that we can sing for our moldovan friends and here there is a lot of support from ukraine, and all the tickets for our concert were simply bought literally in literally one day, and we will have to do another concert well, although i will have to, it is a great joy for us is just coming onto the stage of such a wonderful palace of sports, i um,

somewhere inside my soul, i miss those emotions, for example, at the olimpiyskiy stadium in kyiv or at other venues, for example, yesterday in kherson. i visited those places where i always performed ion and naberezhna, if you could just look at the stadium, although calmly, then you can’t even go to the embankment or the antonov bridge, which is nearby, because it’s too frivolous , the behavior there on the shore can be that an enemy sniper or machine gunner will simply take your life, and such things happen, but for us it was symbolic. i think it is also very important to be there with the soldiers yesterday in a relatively safe place, although it cannot be said that it is safe, but we found a way to get somewhere to sing a song about the unification of the two banks of the dnieper, and i think that it is very important for us now to preserve this unity, and

especially today on christmas. remember this, well, you sang to the soldiers, but i know that the soldiers they also had something for you eh, it’s true eh, first of all, he’s fighting at the front, ah, my eh, a good old comrade, he’s more precisely, very young, but mr. comrade is a friend of the novel lozynsky, he’s a people’s deputy, but one of those eh along with another mp, my dear communities kostenko i have one of those er few er but very brave guys who, actually having these mandates, still went with weapons in their hands to buy the country. romana, who handed me the bethlehem fire from the platoons. today, i took the opportunity to hand it over to the

president of moldova, sandu ot, and thanked the moldovan people for their support. svyatoslav . we have a video of this. er, to the audience, the moment from the first kangaroo of his dogs of freedom, then the correspondence, er, it was the moment of the video of the transfer of the bethlehem flame from sviatoslav vakarchuk to sandu , the president of moldova, but that’s it. i understand that your meeting theoretically did not end because, as far as i understand, she should have visited today's concert i hope that already literally in a few a-a well in 10 in half an hour let's say this is how our performance will begin here pockets are boiled and evgeny baz- with joy to see there and uh mrs. president and their uh residents of moldova and ukrainians to things

who are here today. i want to say that moldova is one of the first, because it is our neighbors who accommodated a huge number of our refugees , they actually helped, and they are young people, having not very great opportunities, as we understand it, they did everything they could, so taking advantage of the opportunity, i thank them and, in general, everyone who today he is helping ukraine and it is very inspiring, you know vadim, i want to share this well, somehow, hope, faith when you see the footage of how our president is met by congresses when you see how volunteers from all over the world come to ukraine to help when do you see the humanitarian military aid that is available today? you understand that we are not alone, we need more, we need more, we need to be faster, we need to be more active, but at least we know that we are, well, the whole civilized world is shining for us. this is very important and it inspires, by the way,

moldova when celebrate christmas in different ways, a large number of people today, a large number of people in the old style, i think that the question of celebrating christmas is definitely we are very individual and no one has the right to impose it on anyone, but i repeat once again my opinion, somehow it happened like this for me . well, this war became the moments of the final rethinking of those things and, er, getting an answer to the question that i for myself could not fully answer, and i think once again. i want to say that tradition is very important, but in in this case, the meaning of tradition and celebrating christmas is important. i think it is necessary together with those people who bring us light. that's right. well, musicians are one of those people who bring us light .

maybe it's a good idea, i have n't thought about it yet, by the way, where are we? but once and for all, this question is on the way now, let's try to improvise there . will fully come. it seems to me that this is the day when we should actually ask god to fulfill all our most vivid desires. i am sure that for the absolute majority. so, for the majority, for all ukrainians, i can say this without fear on behalf of all ukrainians. now the biggest wish will be victory and peace after the victory, this is what we all wish for, but this is what we all have to not just want, but why join each of us to millions of people, yes, this is a unique case when the whole country will make one wish

regardless of when they celebrate christmas, the wish will be absolutely the same. i 'm sure and maybe even in some way it's better that we repeat it again this wish is massive several times er, honestly, literally . i haven't been to the military for a long time, as you know, for obvious reasons, because they need support the most right now, but in kherson. yesterday i was so full for the first time, but i had such a civilian visit, if you can say in most cases. i visited both the station and the train, the evacuation train and in the children's hospital and in the center and in various state institutions, that is, i talked to people. i want to say that well, i'm not just bowing low, i'm just a complex of those people, so ukrainians are especially difficult conditions, especially

imagine in kyiv real ones in kyiv, there is no light, there is no communication, it is cold every week, unfortunately, they continue to terrorize the population, and kherson, for example , lives in such terror every day and put a crop of artillery constantly arriving there and they do not give up, they are moving forward they remember those nightmare times when they had uh, they were forced to occupy as the darkest times in their lives, and now, despite the difficult living conditions, the strain is trials, they understand that life is just beginning and they want it just for the sake of such people i want to do everything like turning it into water i understand what you are talking about thank you for taking the time to join us and to you as a person who celebrates christmas eve today christ is born let us praise him thank you sviatoslav vakarchuk he was with us on the air marathon melon news we continue on christmas one desire, victory, the era of nivroku, the times

of imagination will pass, but for now, keep yourself in a handful through the darkness, it is more visible in time, the destruction of people is the brightest, we hold on to the pile, even though it’s not just from hell, it’s not the strength, it’s tiring to hold on to the island, a fatal mistake, even though the showers are severe in the stream in resources let's follow the device keep my course, the generators are buzzing, he has a thousand dreams, we hold on to the truth, we hold on to the stream

, the war does not look at all like in the movies, it is a dirty, cold and terrible war, it smells of sweat , blood, war leaves its mark on everyone who has been there, remember it when you see it a person in military uniform this is what war looks like she has eyes like that remember the price our heroes pay every day we respect them jack helps mine and we will definitely win thanks to them for christmas one wish victory for the duration of a long power outage we will select the rest of the available operator manually

try to use the 2g network if there is no call send an sms or find out in advance where there are landline phones with a fixed connection in no case download bulky files via the mobile internet and reduce conversations to a minimum or overload the network and make it inaccessible to others, we will defeat the darkness together, dear people, these days, millions of people in ukraine and the world are celebrating christmas, the appearance of christ in the world and on god gave people hope for salvation, faith in the victory of good and mercy unfortunately, this year for us, all holidays have a bitter aftertaste and

we can feel the traditional spirit of christmas otherwise , dinner at the family table may not be so tasty and warm, there may be empty chairs next to it , and our homes and streets may not be so bright, and not so loud and inspiring , christmas bells can ring through sirens in the air, or even worse, gunshots and an explosion, and all this together can carry a great threat, it is a lack of faith in the forces and their power in goodness and justice in the world, a loss hope, loss of love, loss of self but is this what the evil and darkness who have

come against us want in their essence? the sword of our spirit and consciousness, the wisdom of god, the courage and bravery, the virtues that incline us to do a good deed and overcome evil, the main act of courage, endurance and completion of one's work to the end despite everything, our path is illuminated by the truth, we know it, we defend it, our truth is the struggle for freedom freedom has a high price, but slavery is even higher, they light our way faith and patience patience and faith are twin powers as it was said who controls himself better than the conqueror of the city to endure does not mean

to accept the circumstances patience makes sure that we do not let in any doubt or fear in one's mind - this is faith in one's own strength, evil has no weapons, there are no weapons stronger than the armor given to us by god, evil breaks against this armor, which is a stone wall. threats nuclear blackmail terror missile strikes endure this winter we know what we are fighting for we go forward through thorns to the stars knowing what awaits at the end of the road god is a just judge who rewards good and punishes evil which side are we on it is obvious who is who in this battle it is obvious why is at least they

are known to all the proofs eyes are proud speech is false hands that shed blood innocent brain is tickling evil thoughts feet that quickly run to villainy actions that sow discord hearts are full of hatred for everything we protest being an example for others faithful that is, those who really believes must be a light for the rest of the world for more than three hundred days ukrainians strive for exactly this, they prove it, they serve as an example to others , the unrighteous are not saints, but we definitely compete for good and fight for the light with faith in the whites, prophecy let

every valley rise, every mountain and hill descend let it become steep for the plain is dangerous, for the mountain, for the valley, the people who walk in darkness, the light is great. he will see and over those who sit in the edge of the shadow of death, the light will shine over them, because a child was born to us, the son of god given to us. we believe that tears will be replaced by joy forever will come hope death will be victorious life dear ukrainian peoples today and all future winter holidays we meet in difficult circumstances today someone will see the first star in the sky overbakhmuth frontier flint along thousands of kilometers of the front line someone on the road and on the way from of the ukrainian-polish border to kherson region

or zaporozhye, someone saw her through holes in germany with bullets from the roof of their own house, someone will meet the holiday in other people's homes, but not in the homes of strangers, ukrainians who gave shelter to ukrainians in transcarpathia, bukovina, lviv region , frankiv region and many, many other regions, someone will hear shchedrik of another language in warsaw, berlin, london, new york, toronto and in many other cities and countries, and someone will meet christmas in captivity but let him remember that we are going, we are going and for these people of ours, we will restore freedom to all ukrainian men and women, wherever we have not been, we will be

together today and together we will look at the evening sky and together we will remember the morning of february 24, we will remember how much we have passed, we will remember the funeral of irpin buch kramatorsk from the war chornobaivka raisin kherson we will remember one desire for all and feel joy for all and understand the truth for all that no kamikaze drones are capable of extinguishing the christmas star we will see its glow even underground in the bomb shelter we will fill our with warmth and light their hearts cannot be wounded by any daggers, they would break our steel spirit and our struggle will continue without interruption, it is not threatened

by planned or emergency shutdown and we will never feel a shortage of courage and indomitability we have experienced a lot of bitter news and we will deservedly receive the good news, we will sing carols more cheerfully than ever, louder than the sound of the generator, we will hear the voices and greetings of our relatives in our hearts, even if the connection and the internet are down and even in complete darkness, we will find each other to hug each other tightly and if not there will be moisture why will we hug for a long time to warm each other we will celebrate our holidays as always we will smile and rejoice as always the difference is one we will not wait for a miracle because we create

it ourselves christ was born let us praise him i congratulate you. this is a big final issue in marathon. the only news today is exactly 10 months of war. today is christmas eve for christians of the western rite and those ukrainians who decided to join the celebration. today, the russians killed ten kherson citizens about the war and not only. see in our issue on the eve of christmas, the russians brazenly hit there are dead and wounded in the center of kherson, so on the great day, a highly spiritual nation makes a special report. therefore, christians of the western rite
