kyiv . made of branches and metal bowls is a reminder to everyone and in ukraine to the whole world, first of all in ukraine, of course , because today there will be many festive tables in every family i would like everyone to remember today thanks to whom it is possible to be more or less safe in unoccupied unoccupied kiev er to be with this table my son you are already dead march 26 and in december i received confirmation that my son prisoners for 9 months, they didn't know anything about where he was, what he was waiting for. some of these apparently parents who don't know anything about their child's body always come true at christmas, so i believe that our boys and our girls

will return home alive, they are injured, we we pray to god for this and turn to our leadership to help exchange all our prisoners for everyone christmas has come, ukrainian families all over the world have decorated their homes, prepared gifts and meet their loved ones unfortunately, this year's holiday was overshadowed by the war, many ukrainians were forced to go abroad where they will celebrate our correspondent olga dudko will tell you how our people in germany will celebrate christmas on december 25. lyudmila has lived in germany for 20 years and met her the husband is also ukrainian the couple raises two children together the couple successfully combines german and ukrainian cultural dates following german traditions four weeks

before christmas the family makes a special wreath puts four candles on it and lights one each sunday until the holiday also a good tradition is the advent calendar is shared lyudmila, they are ready -made, but i make them myself and they are such small trinkets, er, they put them there, they can be some toys, some pencils, some tasks, some other things to spend time there together and in general, the idea of ​​an advent calendar to make it a little more pleasant for children eh and eh waiting for the real christmas with children, daily pre-holiday surprises are incredibly pleasing and on christmas, children already receive a naked gift, it is brought by kristind isusyk, the baby. also, i am a good tradition of reading reading the so-called christmas of stories, there are even such special books where there are exactly 24 stories for christmas. and there are simply collections of good christmas stories. and of

course, a very well-known german tradition is baking cookies. by the way, it is like the rule is also that baking is dedicated to advent, when the whole family gathers together, they bake cookies, drink for adults, think, children drink children's punch, all these traditions unite the family and give an opportunity to spend more time together, talk and sum up the results of the year, but for it is also important for the family that the children know ukrainian customs. from the 24th to the 25th, we celebrate christmas in german. from the sixth to the seventh of january, we celebrate ukrainian. according to the julian calendar, lyudmila says that the table was set traditionally with 12 dishes, they always wore embroidered dresses, taught the children carols and christmas carols, tatiana, who has also lived in

germany for a long time, has similar views on celebrating christmas with her seven-year-old son. and 12 dishes and it's such a very, very special atmosphere, these ukrainian christmas traditions. it's just something so magical and unsurpassed, and it seems to me that not every country has such rich and wonderful traditions, tatyana's husband is german, so the family celebrates christmas twice, like other religious holidays, on christmas eve in december, the family goes to the husband's parents. i also learned about dinner and there are varenyki, there are krucheniki, this is how they make flatbreads with cabbage inside, yes, she cooks fish borscht, but they don't have such a tradition . 12 dishes ukrainians support and

celebrate christmas in december. already 18 years old says he doesn't know how to explain to his little daughter why jesus is born twice, but the main reason for celebrating christmas only according to the gregorian calendar is different, the very first reason is that, er, we should move away from everything russian, from the russian church, so that we would have, because we celebrated together with the whole world among my communication really uh, the majority of uh, probably more than 90% want to switch to uh on december 25-24-25 and well, i'm glad oleksandr and lyudmila also support the transition, but so far they celebrate christmas twice well, i think that ukraine is moving towards this, but it is moving in an evolutionary, not a revolutionary way, and this decision is possible. within the next couple of years, it will already

be made. this year, nadia's family also plans to celebrate christmas twice. recently , the ukrainian orthodox church appeared in the city, because after the start of a full-scale war, the priest moved from mariupol, so now the woman is going to attend the festive service, which will be held in ukrainian, besides, a shopka was recently brought to the local church from lviv, she was raised and painted by the craftswoman olga kravchenko and placed nearby drawings of children of immigrants from ukraine, local ukrainians say that, unfortunately, the war was the impetus for them to unite, and now our compatriots in germany strive to preserve ukrainian traditions and pass them on to their children. on the air of espresso tv channel, wait for it, television

listen dear brothers in arms i heartily congratulate you on the upcoming christmas and new year we often remember the saying in dark times you can clearly see the bright people. thank you for your support and help because we are together in this difficult unjust and unjustified war. i thank you on behalf of every ukrainian soldier in whose hands your weapon destroys the evil of the world and saves innocent lives. these are extremely high in the world. remember this by looking at the sky and the christmas star on it, pray for the ukrainian soldier who is now in the trench with himself protecting the world from trouble and, believe me, the lord is right there next to him on the side of light and good, truth and justice, together we will win and not only

our military, as well as partners from international partners from the north atlantic alliance, with the upcoming holidays and thanked them for their support, in particular , we are talking about nato. please , what is the operational situation now in the south, what has changed overnight, the situation remains quite tense, difficult, but still controlled by the defense forces at the moment in black sea, the enemy is increasing its presence, they keep four missile carriers there, two of which are submarines, which makes it difficult to detect the launch of missiles from such a carrier, but this can speak both about

preparation for a massive missile strike and about isolated cases of attacks on infrastructure objects, as a rule, such weapons are high-precision enemy uses precisely on significant objects, in addition, the activity of enemy aviation has not been recorded at the moment, but we remember that this may change in the coming hours , we know that the enemy will try to spoil our holidays, we keep the light in ourselves and i'm safe, that is, two submarines, and two submarines. and i can estimate the total potential of what is now, what it can be, it can be a mass attack , it's 24 caliber missiles, the total potential, but it can be like a mass missile attacks and isolated cases of attacks

on specific objects ms. natalya well, how do you assess the probability and the president warned that on holidays the enemy will probably hit and hit infrastructure objects how do you assess this danger from the sea rather after all, a missile attack will be used on the eve of the holidays in order to spoil the mood, practice tells us that our experience is that they usually did this all the previous moments when they get attached to certain of their creaks. therefore, you have to be ready. you have to be ready . not only to the fact that there will be a long-term, for example , air alarm, but also to the fact that then the consequences will be eliminated for a certain time. therefore, it is necessary to have ready and charged meta -orbenks, etc., water supplies and some strategic

items of first necessity, medicines in including the doctor, candles, all that is needed , that is, the holidays, you can prepare for the holidays, sit a little , uh, by the candles, yes, mrs. natalya, and what happened with the liberation of mykolaiv oblast, there was information that soon the armed forces of ukraine will be able to completely liberate mykolaiv oblast from the occupiers, which now the situation, you talked about it, if i'm not mistaken, the work continues and depending on the ratio of how soon and how urgently it will happen, it is, in principle, very peculiar. the local population of those territories that were recently deoccupied, as well as those that are simply within the reach of his ground weapons, this also applies to nikopol

, where the enemy provokes, continues his dirty provocations against the object of critical infrastructure from the territory of the zaporozhye npp, shelling the civilian population on the other side of the reservoir this also applies to the kherson region, where the right bank and not only directly at the water cut, but also further up to chernobaivka, they continue to fire at the enemy with various types of weapons, and they continue to advance their narratives that these are after all shelling by the defense forces, just as they strengthen the police regime on the temporarily occupied left bank, where people are forbidden to leave their homes for 10 days, because they are moving their units and trying to keep them under that information pressure that the defense forces are pressuring them, shelling them

and causing such damage, in fact, this is a psychological struggle, an ideological front, they continue to advance because they are not successful in a combat encounter. well, they are called a curfew when 10 for days they do not allow people to leave the house because how do people react, what is the situation there? for your information, in fact, it is a strengthening of the police regime, they are really afraid , because the recent cases of uh, uh, reaction of the opposition movement to the situation that is developing on the left bank have really alarmed them. they realize that not only the counter-battery confrontation with the active troops of the defense forces is threatening for them, but for them it is quite a significant threat and the activity of the resistance movement , that is, those who are simply among them that is why such curfews are strengthened

and continue for several days. well, there was also information that in the occupied southern territory of ukraine, the russians are bringing their security forces to control the situation , the underground will continue its actions, continues to act despite the increase in the number of repressive measures of the occupiers, and what is this connected with the tightening of the nuts and the flywheel that played out more this repressive machine is exactly what i'm talking about, about the fact that objects of critical infrastructure are blown up in them, about the fact that they feel the blast wave even on those objects that, according to mathematical calculations, should not come under the fire of our artillery , they feel the presence of resistance forces not just as such a public formation, but precisely from this force, the resistance of the entire local population, that is why they intensify

police measures, because it is important for them to identify these people who have such they take a pro-ukrainian position on the e-e, to their shame, they do not feel the support of the local population, despite the fact that at one time they even compiled special maps of the loyalty of the local population of the kherson region of zaporozhye to the e of a potential russian nile in vavka, that is, in zaporizhzhia, in particular, the occupiers introduced a curfew for a week from the 28th. and this is still this year and until the fourth of january next year, they are planning some actions for this time, for your information, and they are trying to move their units and redistribute the available forces and equipment and ammunition at various points because they are impressed by how well we strike them, because with

every movement of their stocks and er revisions of their strategy, our work er , including artillery and jet the systems are very accurate and this is what gives them peace. that is why they are trying to close local homes so that there is no information about where and how they are deploying their forces and means. well, the day before kherson was defiantly shelled - the number of wounded there has already increased to 68 yaroslav yanushevich this was reported by the head of the kherson military administration to mrs. natalya. what do you think, this is such a psychological operation for kherson, it is revenge and what can we expect in the future for kherson and the entire south. and so we said about the fact that it is more likely that the enemy will use this kind of fire and psychological influence on the de-occupied territories of the kherson region on the right

bank in particular and in general, therefore, with the understanding that such actions can be continued, they must be aware of this and avoid mass gatherings people still try to stay closer to the shelters and away from the objects of critical and social infrastructure, because the enemy is still firing at those places that will have the greatest impact on the daily everyday life of the local population ms. natalya, we thank you very much for joining our broadcast on the morning of the holiday nataliya gumenyuk head of the press center of the security and defense forces of the operational command south and was with us let's continue efi let's summarize what ms. gumenyuk said about what the russians brought out into the black sea and another carrier of cruise missiles caliber, now the total hall is 24

missiles, this is what can be launched, that is, probable possible mass attacks, we are on the lookout for holidays, we do not relax and any we do not ignore the danger message, we are moving on serhiy khlan is with us, a deputy of the kherson regional council p serhiu we congratulate you, i wish you a good morning happy holiday to all , kherson region is ukraine, that is, to talk to you about yesterday's terrible day for the people of kherson there are new numbers to 68, the number of injured has increased and ten of the dead, the regional military administration reports on this . please tell me what new details are known. and as of now, it is already clear about yesterday's shelling, so as of this evening, indeed 68 and 68 were injured, 10 in a year anti yesterday, the center of kherson

was shelled with volley systems, and the svobody square was also hit, by the way, a lot of people were gathering there, because supermarkets have resumed operations in kherson, but not so many, and still , many people are gathering in supermarkets for that to replenish their food supplies and just before the holiday, the occupiers criminally struck where there were just the right number of people in the supermarket and in the central market. to stock up on food, the occupiers also struck another district in the center of the city, hitting a school, and you know this is a great horror, because the occupiers launched

powerful strikes yesterday, precisely with rocket-propelled artillery salvo systems, in other neighborhoods of the city. were barrel artillery, the korabel micro-district was again shelled, it was created, the infrastructure there was damaged, the gas pipelines were damaged , and today the oslov micro -district has already been informed that it will not be possible to return to the electricity supply and according to the heat supply, therefore, the island neighborhood will still have to understand that people will have to evacuate the antonivka neighborhood as well, and last night the occupiers started shelling with incendiary shells and there were just a large number of fires in this

neighborhood, the occupiers struck again all night in the city of kherson, that is, by the way, this is how these incendiary shells look like, mr. sergey . that is, this is what the night in kherson looked like after the daytime shelling, and you just covered antonivka, a suburb of antonivka, and it was big the number of fires in kherson, as of now, there is no clarification of the information on the number of injured and dead is only as of the evening that you announced, including that we will wait for the clarification of the information, but i want to say that this is such a holiday that they covered up with blood with crimes, the rashists tried and are still trying to disrupt christmas, which to

this day is celebrated precisely by ukrainians so as not to be with the russians. as they say, this is revenge. so they only continue to increase the intensity of shelling, as we can see the number of victims and the fat is increasing daily, unfortunately, but serhiy, that is, the number of victims is 10 - these are only those people who were among them and taught all the time when these incendiary shells flew and there were many fires and this there is still no information that as a result of all this, information as of the evening. but after these incendiary shells, shelling with incendiary shells and a large number of fires, we do not yet have accurate information on the number of injured and dead soldiers who ran
