took place in history at a specific time, in a specific place, you know where, when such a historical connection goes, we understand that a lot of why does it not coincide with the real astronomical calendar, a lot of this has a rather symbolic meaning. but when you simply realize how many steps are taken according to this tradition, according to these words and according to the feelings of the faithful who are praying together at this moment, somehow it adds, well, let's say, additional weight to these words are so cool, now we can also see how the deacon reveals jesus as a child, this symbol of

what is actually now a vice event, which we all celebrate, which we celebrate the birth of jesus christ, what is this event, this moment when the lord came into the world, although we already we celebrate 2000 years, but every time we celebrate this event, it is as if every time the lord comes to us again and again wants to say look how much i love you look what i did for you i became a man i came to this world to save you i came to you personally, and i want to come to you every day, this is not only a historical event, but an event that is constantly happening, that the lord comes every time, every day, as if knocking on our hearts, and i want to say, look

on his feet. at an art therapy class, soldiers make patriotic candles, distracting themselves from the experience of a little art. a year before the great war, andrii resigned from the national guard for due to his health and he is from mariupol, therefore he decided to fight for his native city to the last . his unit was immediately deployed to zovstal. our unit was engaged in organizing communications. they worked without electricity, connecting their equipment to generators, finding fuel remnants under bombs, and everything so that the commanders, even in complete surroundings, could to communicate with the units during one of the trips to the air defense position, as a result of which i was cut. well, there were 200 guys who did everything so that i would not lose consciousness. it was early and fast. the

body was littered with shrapnel. andriy they manage to get through, but i have to amputate my leg, i got hit by three fives , so-called. this is in the center of the city. literally the next day, it was massacred and i was taken out again with the helpers who were already lying down. god knows how you ended up there for two months underground, there is barely enough medicine for the most difficult patients, others without arms or legs are surviving as best they can to the sisters, the girls who were with us, they

we were bandaged so that we did not turn from 300 to two hundred . all of andrei's thoughts were prophetically alive. he did not know that i did not have 111 days alive because of my relatives. now i am in kyiv with me in may . donetsk is being transported from colony to colony, they are offering to go over to the side of the occupiers , we gathered guys with donetsk and luhansk registrations and began to persistently offer to stay there and then starve for information, saying that kyiv was already under the tricolor, there were different different options bullying well, they drove me four times in my presence four times i got into different places and this is the last time when they took us to

exchange one barak , they served in the same brigade together, they were returned from captivity in june, both lost their legs, so now they are learning to live fully with prostheses, our knee module was led by the british foot from america, despite surviving for two in the military, one desire prostheses is not an obstacle on the way to victory khrystyna velichanska fact ictv marathon the only news for 10 months of the great war we understood that without international support it is impossible to save the economy destroyed by the russians, fortunately the west also understood this and we received more than 18 billion euros of aid from the european union alone, this is both security and macro-financial and humanitarian aid, specifically about humanitarian aid from the european union, our

next report is an average of thousands of ukrainians per day come to donate blood, but now is the time of active hostilities, this need is three times greater in march near hospitals in all in the cities of ukraine there were lines to donate blood in a few days on the online platform donor.ua 25,000 new donors were added and this is almost half of those registered in the seven years of the service's existence arsen from kyiv then too for the first time in my life i came to donate blood now here for the third time in general it is good if if you talk about your physical condition, everything is ok, that is, there is no weakness, but if you say that it is real, then you have the feeling that you have done something good, the blood service center in kyiv accepted donors around the clock at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the workers lived at work, they themselves donated blood to save the wounded, unfortunately, and myths still exist, continued what, for example, if a certain blood group is the most common, then it is not

necessary, but in fact, the more people with such a group, the more patients there are, according to statistics, every third person at least once in a lifetime blood is transfused during the war, this is especially noticeable, doctors say that a large number of wounded need a transfusion of blood components, clear control of all , that is, the flow of blood, so that every blood cell donated by our donors saves a life and because of this, there is always a need for donors since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia on february 24, the humanitarian needs of ukraine have increased to an unprecedented level. by the end of this year alone, almost 18 million people in ukraine will need humanitarian support and protection assistance; the ongoing war endangers the lives of civilians and causes serious damage to housing, water and electricity supply, heating in social infrastructure, in particular schools and health care facilities, millions of people are deprived of access to vital basic needs at the same time, more than 8 million ukrainians fleeing the war received shelter in the countries of the

european union, the eu immediately mobilized all possible resources to provide emergency aid to the country and support the ukrainians, as true good neighbors and reliable partners should do, the costs of humanitarian needs due to a full-scale war have increased significantly and changed significantly among the daily needs of millions of people, there is a need for everything from baby food, clothes to generators , fire fighting equipment, water carriers, buses , so without the support of partners, the eu and partners provide the necessary assistance to ukraine and will increase it in the future endoscope the scale of humanitarian aid in ukraine is quite large, so such work can only be done with joint efforts, we work together with the ukrainian authorities, un agencies, other donors and our partners, and i will give you a few concrete examples from the office of the president to the ministry social policy, we are discussing our financial assistance with the ministry of reintegration of the occupied territories, we are coordinating the rebuilding of school infrastructure, we can do all this only together since february 24, the european commission

allocated more than 485 million euros for humanitarian aid programs in ukraine implemented by humanitarian partners on the ground, at the same time more than 76,000 tons of in-kind aid in the amount of 490 million euros was delivered to ukraine by eu member states and partner countries through the civil protection mechanism eu aid to ukraine included emergency stocks of medical and specialized equipment worth almost 36 million euros to prevent risks to public health from chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear through the resuspension mechanism - this is a weighty and extremely important support that allows us to provide the primary needs of civilians who suffer from a full-scale war unleashed by russia without being able to win on the battlefields ukrainians were assured by the deputy head of the eu representation in ukraine, rim duflo. if we talk about humanitarian aid , we apply our general principles, i.e.

with the help of a dialogue, we start negotiations with the authorities at the state level or with representatives of local authorities, thanks to this we understand the needs and where to better direct the aid, also the european union cooperates with ukrainian public organizations, in particular, providing them with grants that address the most important needs, so €18,000 is received by the donor.ua information platform thanks to this service, the search for donors was reduced from several days to 20 minutes in war conditions, it is difficult to overestimate the clear and coordinated work of such a resource, but new difficulties appeared data and the safety of donors, as well as the huge need for blood delivery in the area of ​​active hostilities, the eu will help ensure the reliability and efficiency of the actions of the donor platform, we are launching an information campaign that helps us recruit additional donors, data protection . they didn't break us all the time, it's enough that we are the only resu of the rs that exists and has the entire national
