my greetings to all who are with us to your attention the final news release and i will start it with operational information from the general staff, the russians continue to focus their efforts on the bakhmut direction, are constantly attacking the enemy, shelled the areas of more than 30 settlements, in particular , this is beresteve, beligorovka, soledar bakhmut , new york, avdiyivka, we in donetsk were informed at the general staff in kupyansk and zaporozhye directions, the occupiers are trying to improve their tactical position , the enemy hit fifteen inhabited points of zaporizhzhia, on december 24, the defense forces struck the area where the enemy 's manpower was concentrated near the polovkina district of starobyl, luhansk region , the occupiers lost up to 150

servicemen dead and wounded. on december 25, in the temporarily occupied territory of the kherson region, the invaders lost up to 50 servicemen, eliminated and up to 100 wounded, and about five units of military equipment of various types of the armed forces of the armed forces of ukraine are approaching. the military command to rubizhnoy is 15 km south of the front line, the head of the regional military administration, serhiy gaidai, reported that the occupiers wanted to organize a counter-offensive on the side of the estuary in donetsk region, but the ukrainian military thwarted these plans, but the enemy's reserves are still being pulled up, and the invaders continue to shell the liberation of the villages of luhansk region because of this there extremely difficult humanitarian situation by russia,

the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine initiated the exclusion of the russian federation for treason against the un security council and the united nations nations as a whole, this is stated in the statement of our department, the ukrainian side notes that, taking into account the russian full-scale invasion and the aggressive policy of moscow, it is only a matter of time when the actions of russia will discredit and destroy the entire un system, the statement also raised the issue of the legitimacy of the russian federation as such in the un because moscow took a place in the organization as the successor of the ussr and did not go through the international legal path of joining the un like most other countries, we declared at the official level our detailed and reasoned position why russia 's presence in the un security council and in the organization is generally illegitimate, we provided detailed evidence that

31 years ago the russian delegation essentially simply occupied the seat of the ussr in the council of state, which at that time ceased to exist without any statutory grounds for this on the territory of their country so far, more than 2,000 gunners, 500 specialists in the use of rocket launchers and 500 specialists in anti-aircraft defense have been trained abroad except in great britain soldiers of the armed forces are trained in norway, denmark, the baltic states, poland, slovakia, and the czech republic. since the beginning of the full-scale war, the russian army has fired 101 missiles and 11 drones on the territory of poltava region. as a result of these strikes, 10

infrastructure facilities were completely destroyed and 266 were damaged. on february 24, the air alert was announced in the region more than 855 times , the defense budget was increased by 20-fold and another 30 million from the regional budget was transferred to the reconstruction of kharkiv oblast, mykolaiv oblast and the most terrible crime of the kherson oblast, i believe , was the rocket attack, the shooting of the first amstor center in kremenchuk. it really is the most difficult situation we have in kremenchuk with the issue of heat supply. more than 200 million hryvnias during this time have already been directed to defense and security needs . well, indeed, our main priority was its the territorial defense of the 116th brigade remains - this is also provision from the point of view of

state administration, our emphasis is more than 240,000 officially registered displaced persons, which was two weeks ago on today there are more than 200,000 of them, a departure from the soviet past, a monument to the russian writer maxim gorky was dismantled in the dnipro , a monument to the soviet pilot valery chkalov was also demolished, earlier in the city the monuments to alexander pushkin and volodymyr dubinin were removed, the next step is to dismantle the monuments to alexander bulygin mykhailo lomonosov and oleksandr matrosov with the bethlehem fire to the fallen heroes lviv platoons brought the symbolic fire of peace, goodness and love to the graves of ukrainian soldiers who died during of the full-scale russian invasion, at the burial place of the newest heroes of the mars field, a memorial service was held, and then members of the scout

organization lit fires on each grave of the fallen soldiers. i will remind the bethlehem fire . the front line submitted such an initiative that we absolutely need to go to our military er with this fire of peace with the fire of this heat and discussing it we understood that we cannot ignore our soldiers who fell because they are the heroes who defended us and this year this mission is special because the measure of love and goodness is violated in our country, this is exactly what the bethlehem fire symbolizes and we, passing it on, emphasize that we have to be grateful to all those who protect or have already given their lives

defending, fighting for the return of love and goodness, also to every ukrainian home , be careful, the fake company ukrenergo denied the information about the cancellation of emergency power cuts that is spreading by social networks, emergency shutdowns are a forced step that is used only in the presence of a deficit, as well as to preserve balanced production and consumption in the energy system, ukrenergo noted that the shutdowns will disappear only after the complete cessation of enemy attacks from russia, they bring light, we really appreciated their work only now after massive missile attacks by the russians on the ukrainian power station in blackout conditions , the work of the energetics became important for every ukrainian family, this is the

city dispatch service of lviv when after missile attacks, the ukrainian power system has a shortage of electricity power, these dispatchers have the task of reducing it to certain limits, and then, according to the blackout schedule, they turn off the light for lviv residents at least one of the three groups into which all subscribers in lviv are divided, depending on what the power shortage is, which must be covered by the dispatcher they give a command to turn off the first group or the second or the third. sometimes it happens that two groups are superimposed. this is why a disconnection is possible when two groups are superimposed because there is not enough power in part the switching of dispatch groups is carried out automatically from a computer program, but in most cases it still has to be done manually, so the oblenergo team goes to the electricity distribution point and turns on or off the light for the consumers according to the instructions. these electricians came here in the first days to turn off the electricity according to the schedule several houses of the third group in syhivskyi in the lviv district.

hello, the novel arrived by rp-2 o'clock in execution now now 1:05 p.m. so for the time being the third group, write back through me, i understand, i'm waiting romanovych understood well the commands for the niche, and this power deficit is growing, so the electricians are instructed to turn off the light to the third group, what do they do ? points, that's why the time of turning on

and turning off subscribers is a little different . it's easier to go to the center back and forth to sikhiv. it's easier to go by road. there are no abuses in this process, assures the main dispatcher of lviv . everything is in accordance with operational needs. of the energy system says that the lights are turned off to everyone and to the leaders of the region and the city and the manager of oblenergo, all our management , starting from the chairman of the board and ending with me, everyone turns off the cossack maksym , too, exceptions critical infrastructure is turned off, they try not to turn off the lights to hospitals and enterprises of the defense department . lines of such objects , however, accidents occur in the network and then electricity disappears even for those consumers who are currently in the green square so that to warn of such situations, the power industry carries out

planned prevention. today, the team of the stryi district came to replace the porcelain insulators on one of the high-voltage lines. there is a lot of current work in general, because the electric lines are relatively new and it is necessary to update the electric suspension armature in order to prevent disconnection by emergency connection of some lines of these masters recently returned from the mykolaiv region, where they restored light to the residents of the de -occupied territories. the city of sněruivka was being restored, the confrontation in this city was not there for more than six months, which means that there was no centralized heating there, who in the city and they had no water supply, shops are not working, are they starting to resume their work, bring in equipment, now

khrystyna boyko has been working in the dispatch service for 40 years and the current compares the situation with the blackouts in the 90s in the room, says that there is much more emotional load, because some people throw out all the negativity from the discomfort associated with the lack of light on oblenergo employees, although only russian criminals are to blame in this whole story, who, among other things, are shelling energy facilities in ukraine. meetings already tomorrow cinema television port music education free

is winter in avdiivka in donetsk region. the month of november partially we came back because in october we saw that this number was a little less than 2,000, it is based on the amount of basic aid that we give out. that is, everyone under eh, let's say, they make a statement. that is, we saw that it was less than 2,000, then, unfortunately, they returned a little and now the number is like this at the expense of the humanitarian situation, it is really difficult and will continue to be. let's say so, the winter months are already coming , it will be more expensive. it is clear that there is not and cannot be under these conditions. it's heat . of course, there's also no gas, no it may be because it is impossible to restore it at the expense of water, we only have technical water, how is it pumped out at the expense of generators and pumps of wells? people

come and collect them here and there, well, personally, at the expense of food products, there are reserves in the city, even on the basis of a minimum of two and a half months, there is uh, we understand that it will be more difficult in the future, because the road is almost constantly under fire and the villages that are on the way to the place are also almost constantly under fire. well, we understand that now uh, if there will be a spoon then this it will be completely impossible to drive into the city or the snow. when it falls, the weather is a little thawed at the moment, plus four plus three in the morning -1. it's good from the point of view of the military, well, it's not very good, well, that is, there are pros and cons, especially in such weather conditions. please tell me,

fortress and we won’t go anywhere from there if it wasn’t bad, but at home, of course, people turn to volunteers, there is a small circle of volunteers who still come to the place, they cooperate with us, we constantly help each other, there are our local ones volunteers who are almost always in the city at the expense of firewood, coal, also at the avdiiv plant, the company helped with the coal that remained at the plant for the technological process, which was not impossible to get out, and was partially transported to shelters where a large number of people live directly from the plant, they also brought firewood, now, just the other day, i’m not specifically speaking, yes . when it will happen, we will bring firewood that we received from the state consultation, we

bought it. they are not far from the nearest city sometimes we will breed and start giving them out, it is clear that first of all from the preferential category yes especially vulnerable such returns i will ask one more short question i thought so well maybe i will miss, as they say, but in avdiivka, well, there are at least industrial enterprises, i understand what is there they don’t work or is it possible to place any of them, none of them work so from those that are industrial enterprises, well, let’s say so, before this full-scale influx, two powerful enterprises were working, of course, avdiivsky purchase plant and the avdiiv metal construction plant, these are two powerful plants that understood that psychima, kyivskyi is uh, let’s say yes, it was the second production in its profile in the world and the second was the first in europe, it is very powerful, it is fully uh, and i, vitaliyovich, why i

asked what i wanted to ask. why did i pay attention to this? are there any chemically dangerous substances on the territory of these enterprises that, say, when a projectile is hit, they change whether a missile or not can lead to negative consequences for life and health of the population, please eh no no everything has been removed a-ah extreme some such dangerous substances that were still on the territory of eh at the kyiv coke chemical plant were still exported at the beginning of june. that is, we have to work from a long time in advance , literally in the month of march together with the vegetables , all this was organized, taken out at night and during the day, and disguised . honestly, but for now, there is no

dangerous substance in the city. thank you very much, mr. vitaly. take care. vitaliy barabash, the head of the avdiiv city military administration, was in touch with us. during the winter holidays, somewhere far from this hell, which does not drink the price, i hope that such an initiative will be dmytro kyrychuk, deputy of the zaporozhye district council, dmytriov i greet you , good evening, i am glad to see and hear, i will start here from which question are the russian invaders allegedly preparing the so-called evacuation, what do they call it, in fact, it is an act of terrorism and the abduction of people of the residents of the occupied energodar, what is happening there, what information is there, please yes, mr. vasyl, let us note here, you know, what is actually with what is being reported there is about the evacuation, yes , this process can also be interpreted as an evacuation rehearsal, because we know that already during the

week there are such, you know, excuses and such come from different points, specifically in basilivsk of the district there from the energodar direction, what exactly are the evacuation waters being prepared, yes, these gauleiter fascists on the ground, they are forming the population that there is an urgent need to evacuate, and it was like at one time in the kherson region, because under this cover what exactly is worth noting that money is on the big account they are regrouping, they are afraid of everything possible, they are afraid that flights from our armed forces will arrive from any side, and that is why they take these measures, and you know, such a certain disinformation to the population in general and local residents here we will note, among other things, because they are afraid of them, because they see in everyone. do they see, more precisely, do you know such a partisan

and a representative of the sprout forces? currently, there are such processes that every day it is reported from the next settlement that they conduct total checks, they stop people, they check their mobile phones and all the equipment that they will discover, because they are afraid of everything, and besides that in melitopol, local residents are spreading photos and videos of what depression the city is in, what state it is in, economically , psychologically and politically, it is usually an occupied city, but despite everything, despite the fact that the russians are terrorizing the local population in the occupied territories, despite the fact that people they don't have money, what to buy, eat, how to survive at all, at the same time, the russians are building very similar plans that look several years

ahead, well, in particular, they announced the opening of institutes in the occupied territories zaporizhzhia region and in berdyansk they want to open a training center for propagandists. please tell me why they got so into science . and what is really happening there, in the plan, for example, the next one. yes, such a stage. is this a scene ? we know that our perception of this situation is in line with our understanding that it is allegedly chaotic processes there, but we note that these processes are clearly controlled by fsb agents there and theirs in these decision-making centers where sooner or later a sick person will fly there and still bring order to these territories , so this is not new there regarding education, yes, this information, because it was already reported that here on the base there and pruning of the state university of melitopol and the institute of pedagogy - pedagogical university in that

's what they did in berdyansk there, and they announce that the combination will be taught there and the like, it's all just excuses - this is a point that you know, disinformation and the implementation of the main thing was that they stand that they yes, they really want to draw attention to the fact that they are supposedly here for a long time. and against the background of these processes, you are a cover, some of them are there in the media through the eyes of those who speak, and there is already a ballistic woman who will just flee from ukraine somewhere further and start shouting about it loudly and talking about it on some tv broadcasts. the mass media should begin to announce that they have already established education there. at this stage, and against the background of this, all these processes are being carried out under cover, which we have already mentioned, especially in the melitopol direction and now just along the line of vasylivka, there is energy supply, they are only busy building defensive positions under cover, because they clearly

understand that this is the line along which they can soon have enough for nuts. for two weeks, the enemies did not release people who wanted to leave the occupied territories and the kherson oblast and zaporizhzhia oblast because of the massacre in the territory controlled by the ukrainian authorities. well, why did they start releasing people now? they wrote about the fact that people they were walking there somehow, volunteers tried to pick them up, well, it's a very difficult, difficult story . what is this connected with, and are they really now keeping this door to a normal life locked, please yes, vasyl, to my great regret, this door and it is expensive life in they are now closed to this narrow city and in this way they form not what is new there , but they form many kilometers of queues of people who, after all, you know, do not lose hope
