continues to produce missiles of the iskander caliber and kha-101 type, however, not at such a pace as to carry out regular mass attacks , according to various estimates, the ukrainian air force declares that the military-industrial complex of the russian federation produces approximately 40 missiles per month, writes the news the york times said this is what the representative of the main directorate of intelligence and the ministry of defense said in one skibisky from the beginning of the full-scale war, russian factories were able to produce 240 x101 cruise missiles and approximately 120 sea-based cruise missiles vladyslav palivoda found out how many missiles russia has left and how long they will terrorize ukraine with them russia continues missile terror of ukraine destroys human life infrastructure houses one of the

goals of russia's missile terror is to force ukraine to negotiate they think that by leaving us without electricity water and heat, we will make concessions , we are unable to act with ukrainian force defenses over the war in order to implement spiritual situations in ukrainian society to create certain such prerequisites for the creation of panicky moods of instability within the ukrainian society, dissatisfied with the actions of the urban political leadership of ukraine, the russians use the same way, the occupying army has already used most of its missile potential - says a military expert, only from october 10 to december 16, the russians carried out nine massive missile attacks on ukraine in each launched from 50 to a hundred cruise missiles in total during the war,

they used about five thousand of them in the russian federation, there were only about 400 x1 kha-55 cruise missiles are approximately the same number and caliber, but it is worth saying that this is a rather limited number, however, despite western sanctions, they are designed precisely to deprive the brain of the components necessary for the production of these weapons. russia will continue to manufacture cruise missiles in the future, the experts of an independent british group reached such conclusions identifies and tracks weapons and ammunition after examining the wreckage of missiles launched in ukraine in november, they said that some of the missiles were made in the summer of this year, that is, when sanctions were in effect according to ukrainian gurvishki, the industrial complex of the russian federation can produce about 40 missiles a month already, for which there are certain stocks of machine sets or e-e components for high-precision bicycle

technology missiles of the russian defense, the industrial complex had a plus, the so-called parallel import works plus everyone understands what is e-e the semi-criminal arms market and i think that you are using russian places that are looking all over the world for the necessary horseshoes for the production of modern weapons. it is difficult for our anti-aircraft systems to notice, however, there are not many weapons in them, so experts are still inclined to think that the russian federation will use them only as a last resort. according to various estimates, there are about 50 units left, it seems a small number. that is, we are only talking about what they say nadiya's last chance is just for strikes on practically infrastructure objects, but in the russian arsenal there are many re complexes s300 and them. they are about a

figure with about 6,000 missiles. the fact is that these missiles are intended for air defense complexes. they have extremely high speed, but their problem is that it is not capable of acting at extremely high long distances, that is, they act on a place as long as 20 to 150 km, so russia will use missile terror as long as they have missiles, military experts are sure, therefore, the main goal is to get as much as possible from partners of modern air defense systems, and we are already waiting for them in the usa triot thanks to its lethality of damage. and this is up to 160 km, we will be able to intercept all types of missiles much more effectively, in particular and ballistic vladyslav palivoda we are ukraine marathon the only news ukraine will return

the temporarily occupied crimea by force and diplomacy our units will go there with weapons in their hands about this in an interview with liga.net the head of ukrainian intelligence said when the liberation will begin kyrylo budanov did not say , but noted that in the summer of 2023 ukrainians will already be able to go there on vacation, we will return all lost territories ukraine is a country recognized within the borders of 1991 who does not agree with this does not agree with the world order that exists since times of the end of the second world war and with the new principles of the un kyrylo budanov head of the main directorate of intelligence of the ministry of defense of ukraine igoreyterovych political scientist political consultant joins our conversation and mr. igor, we congratulate you good morning good morning mr. igor regarding the return of crimea, the combination of the military path and diplomacy, how is this possible in practice and is it real, well, first of all, it is real, and

of course, it is probably the most optimal way to return the temporarily occupied crimea and there are two possible scenarios: the first scenario involves the dominance of the military component. when our army liberates the territory of the temporarily occupied crimea, then certain diplomatic measures take place, well , even more measures for reintegration and bringing everything to the status that crimea was in before 2014. the second scenario it foresees the implementation of more diplomatic measures first. but after them, in any case, our armed forces will enter the territory of crimea, since they will have to occupy all those military objects that are currently controlled by the russian federation, we will establish our control over the borders of crimea as an integral part of ukraine, that's why what the head of the main intelligence department said.

in fact, there is nothing so urgent. yes , he essentially defined that scenario which ukraine is developing quite actively, but which of them will be implemented will depend on the development of the situation, primarily on those fronts that are currently in ukraine, it is clear that for the russian federation it is not neither the first nor the second scenario is acceptable , but here it is difficult to disagree with bodanov that , by and large, russia is just right. in this regard, no one will touch and everything will be listened to , more precisely, there will be no yes, and according to what they have decided there, no one will make any decisions in ukraine either will not be accepted. yes, there is a clear position, this position is currently supported by our western partners. by the way, crimea should return to ukraine, and well, depending on how it will happen. well, we will see it based on the development of the situation on the fronts. i think in in the coming months, then it will be possible to draw some global conclusions regarding the deoccupation of crimea, what does the west's position on this issue affect, because i am opening google and i see on november 28 on the screen that

it says that the return of crimea to ukraine will be long , difficult and very bloody, but for on december 11, for example, the washington post already wrote that the recapture of crimea from ukraine is entirely probable. that is, we see that, at least, there is no single position, a single vision of the development of the situation in the context of the deoccupation of crimea. that this position changes from what is happening on the fronts of the russian-ukrainian war as a whole. and we should not be surprised by such a position, it is quite situational and there on february 24, of course, it was alone. at that time, everyone tried, well, the vast majority of our western partners tried to take crimea by the arm, so so to speak, not to raise this question why because in russia they constantly shouted that this is a red line , crossing it there will lead to some unforeseen consequences, almost the use of nuclear weapons, similar to that but the further development of events showed that ukraine can effectively, including, influence

the situation in our country temporarily about crimea in a military plan, and the absence of any extraordinary answers from the russian federation, which demonstrated its inability in essence, and the answers made it change its position, including and our western partners, the only thing is that it is still necessary to note the diplomatic way, while it remains such a priority, but each country puts a different meaning on the concept of this diplomacy someone says that it can drag on for years, and someone says that it should happen quickly enough and quickly after ukraine wins a victory on the battlefield, and in this particular case, our country simply needs to develop its own plan, and as far as i know, it is currently being developed in relation to this deoccupation both diplomatically and militarily, to present it as soon as possible at the discretion of our partners so that they can familiarize themselves with it, perhaps express some of their wishes or some of their own vision, it was taken into account or not taken into account,

well, depending on that, it will be clear, and ukraine has already directly implemented this plan in practice, well, what, in principle, by and large, our armed forces and diplomats are now on their front and are engaged in mr. igor ot by the way of the publication notes that some western partners are concerned that ukraine's attempt to return crimea may lead to a dangerous escalation on the part of the kremlin, and possibly even the use of nuclear weapons, but considering that, if a when the ukrainian troops will already come close to the northern border of the ukrainian crimea, will these western partners not be able to do it then ? - in order to do well, to do everything so that this does not happen, that is, ukraine

should already form this position and, let's say, break down any illusions or hopes that some of our partners have regarding the fact that it is possible to trade with today, the russian federation and ukraine's partner countries must do everything to ensure that russia does not under any circumstances resort to the use of, for example, nuclear weapons. this is the key point that our partners should do in principle, since this is not even a question of the russian-ukrainian war, it is a question of the entire system in general international security is their key task, all other issues that are directly related to deoccupation and doubts that may be present there in the western political elites, not all of them by the way countries, because there are countries that clearly take the position of ukraine without any , they say yes, all these doubts, they must be, well, broken in essence for today , and they must think about a completely different key point if they are afraid of excavation

with the use of nuclear weapons already now they should think about how to prevent this, what additional sanctions, what additional mechanisms of pressure on the russian federation should be applied now, and one more important point is that it is desirable that they be in the public domain they did not raise the question of the removal of crimea from the brackets, conditionally speaking why because it creates a dangerous illusion, including for the russian federation, which thinks that ok , sooner or later we will lose there on all fronts in ukraine but somehow we will be able to get crimea there to keep or at least postpone this question for later, they should already have an understanding that nothing will be postponed for later, but it seemed to me that the interview was just bohdanova, it was the main message that was contained there. it was, well, not even a message for ukrainians and first of all for our partners that ukraine already has a plan, so please take it into account and do not try to present your own position and create a

dangerous illusion, including in russian political circles, that we from crimea can somehow sweat yes, as they say in russia, and we will be able to put this issue out there in parentheses, e.e., the use of nuclear weapons. now the question arises whether this is really the main fear of our western allies, because i analyzed the article, read and read the article by henrik kissinger the former head of the state department of the united states, who on december 16 wrote a long text based on his vision of how the conflict in ukraine should be resolved, now i will not tell the details specifically what that what in our context, he writes that in the case of the possible collapse of russia there is a territory that covers 11 time zones can turn into a vacuum of violence because the societies of these territories can resolve their disputes through violence and here again the question of nuclear weapons arises, but not in its context

application and in the context there is actually uncontrolled distribution during sale and so on, how to deal with this fear of the west, because we understand that a very large part of the political legacy, if not the entire political legacy of vladimir putin, is based on the question that he is a collector of lands, as if how he annexed there according to the laws of russia crimea, and if russia loses crimea, then with a very high probability vladimir putin will also lose power in russia, but since the entire russian political system is tied to his person, it is accordingly impossible to predict further processes and the same this is precisely the fear of the west that the situation can get out of control and chaos will be created on the territory of russia. how to deal with this issue. well, you know, first of all, you need to take into account mr. kissinger's personality. he has always had a rather specific view of international relations, and he has this fear. actively cultivated and in the 91st year, then there were also such fears that russia is a huge territory it can break up into some uh, well

, other state entities and of course they will start sharing nuclear weapons and this will lead to unforeseen consequences, but look what took place in 1991, there was a reaction scenario , including with external support, without any internal intervention, because these are myths that putin likes to spread, on the contrary, the event here, on the contrary, came to the aid of the russian federation at the time that arose after the collapse of the soviet union from the point of view of economic and financial help and was able to keep the situation under control why because elites came to power who were not led by yeltsin who was able to keep this situation under control but how was he able to do it even not so much by force in 1991, it was later already power processes have begun. and with the help of agreements that were reached with the largest subjects of the federation. well, for example , with the same tatarstan, so if the west has fears about such a negative scenario, they can now present their vision, which in principle will be based on coming to

power after the fall of the regime putin, those politicians who will be able to keep the situation under control by more or less democratic methods , but once again it should be stated that it is possible and this support that will be provided this summer maybe in the future only on the condition their compliance with all international legal agreements there regarding the borders. that is, you leave ukraine completely, you close this issue, well, from the point of view of the violation of the borders there, the question of reparation of contributions can be brought up there for a separate conversation, we understand that this is enough of a contract, a process and it will be implemented one way or another, but this is a separate parallel case, if you can say so. and with regard to retaining control over the territory of the outside , but subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, it seems to me that now the process of the scenario is the most optimal we need to speak and we need to start working already,

let alone the numerous and still perhaps not very influential russian elites who can take on this function of such a transitional power that will return russia to its borders, well to the generally accepted world borders and at the same time be able to contain the situation inside at the same time, of course, the state should prepare just in case and for the scenario of the possible disintegration of the russian federation due to objective reasons, because there are a lot of religious, ethnic , national and other disputes that to a certain extent suppressed by putin's regime with the help of force or with the help of money and they can simply objectively come to the surface and can start. well, their implementation can begin. therefore, it is necessary to prepare for both one and the other scenario and have a plan in case of what will happen specifically to happen, but understand a very simple thing, that here it is precisely the role of ukraine. well, the support of ukraine will be decisive to a large extent, and now this is a more

predictable development of events after the fall of the putin regime in russia, then there in a year or in a few months, maybe in a few years, well, depending on how the situation will develop, one clarification , i just see one drawback in the option proposed by you that those people can come to an agreement with some measure. they have in case putin is removed from power or he will lose it to rely on something in order to rule the country, that is, there is no institution in russia. as such, there is one supreme person. i don't know who they think he is, but one way or another, everything obeys his will. that is, there are no stable democratic institutions on which these people could rely, and i do not think that they can count on the fact that they will be able to rely on military force, for example, because it is unlikely that it will want to serve them. solving the problem will depend on what kind of people they will be, a very important point here is that

if they are people, for example, from putin's closest circle, they can arrange something like a collective politburo and essentially rely on those resources that were in of the same putin, they were, you know, the collective putin, but in the light version, because they will have to establish themselves in power and deal with some internal problems of the time on the external one, well, by and large, they will not have any problems, and objectively they it will be necessary to quickly end the war and leave ukraine. in order not to squander these resources, we must be aware that this is unlikely to be a bet precisely on some new democrats who will come, most likely it will be some kind of transitional government that will largely to use in this informal practice the private armies that are currently being formed in the russian federation, but they will take a certain pause in order to establish themselves under this power in one way or another, if they succeed in this, then they will continue to talk with them there and establish cooperation

in some way otherwise, if they fail to keep the situation under their control, then it will go according to the second scenario, the scenario when everyone starts fighting against everyone, but the whole world must be ready for it, what to do for well, well not to release these nuclear weapons out of control, so that there does not start some kind of global civil war of regions there with regions, well, and many other negative, well, negative processes, in fact, it is not bad enough. it is predicted , taken into account, and these plans should already be well to be developed to date, since it is very good in the vast majority of western countries and ukraine, of course, first of all, there is a clear understanding that russia has already lost , and now we must already discuss the scenario of this transit, how it will be to happen well, it is clear what it will lead to, mr. igor, well, putin already understands what awaits him in the event of a loss. perhaps that is why he is eager to deepen relations with china. by the way, he should have another

meeting with the senpin before the end of the year. he of course understands that defeat in ukraine - this is the end of his regime , and that is why he is doing everything now in order to implement the formula that his closest posipaks told him that there is putin, there is russia, there is no putin, there is no russia, but the problem here is that for him, the problem is that such a position is already does not suit a significant part of people, including those from his immediate environment, because they have no desire to be with him, and especially to lose all the money they stole during 20 years of being in power, they want to use it somehow and want to realize it already some scenario that will allow them to survive. and regarding cooperation with china , one very simple thing must be understood here, this is not cooperation between equal countries. this is cooperation between a senior partner and a junior partner, and russia does not play the role of a senior partner and statements the representatives of the chinese government 7-wintering and the actions of the representatives and the chinese government in general.

in this regard, they are very revealing, and then he must have understood this somewhere a long, long time ago, but he thinks that the issue of ukraine and the issue of opposition to democracy there is generally more fundamental for him and more therefore, he will simply follow the lead of the people's republic of china in this context, but one point must be taken into account, this is china. he will never cross this line and openly play on the side of russia with one idle reasons because the key markets for china are not there, only the raw materials are there, and everything else is in europe, in the united states of america, and they will occupy such a position in the middle, but in fact this position is much more advantageous precisely in the western world than, for example, in the russian federation, specifically putin i.e. for china, it will not be a problem to negotiate with a collective putin. if putin is alone, where do you think he will disappear? i think that there will be absolutely no problem for them, moreover, they are still on it and they get additional preferences and some

advantages both from the point of view of continuing the colonization of the territory of the russian federation and from the point of view of obtaining very cheap resources there, raw materials well, some closer relations have been established, but more pressing relations between the metropolis and, in fact, the colony well, so far in the economic plan and further in the political, well, let's see how the situation in china will develop, there is a plan until 2050, and this plan is not very favorable for russia, this must be taken into account. thank you for this interesting discussion , his reiterovich political scientist political the consultant was with us on a direct video link and he believes that all the issues that worry the west or that stand in the way of ukraine returning crimea as soon as possible will be resolved sooner or later and crimea will be deoccupied and crimea is ukraine international day politicians are moving to the new year's table, they will boil a lot of potatoes and prepare jelly from the soup set, because of the war and inflation, the new year's table

is almost 44% more expensive this year than last year, in order to have a budget meal for a family of four, you will have to spend at least uah 2,655 yes economists have calculated whether the calculations agree with the spending of ukrainians, how much will the new year's purchases be and what else the uncle will spend in different regions. viktoriya dmytrenko will continue yulia from zaporizhia as a family this year. noise because this is my husband's favorite dish and i will cook it unequivocally, i will not cook it 100% olivier because i don't like it in principle, so i won't cook it and neither will my mother will cook the meat, which they bake in the oven. that is, their typical dish is so very classic for their table, despite all the events in the front-line city, they are still waiting for the new year, and today they are calculating the budget little by little and making a albeit modest, but festive menu,

those cherkasy with whom they talked on average, we plan to give from three to six thousand hryvnias for the new year's celebration, this is for food together with gifts. they say that the amounts are lower than last year, because prices have increased significantly and profits have decreased, so now we will have to save on food for the festive table, we are very modestly honest, one village is not one sweet and all candies for the children under the christmas tree, not without luxuries in ivano-frankivsk, we were interviewed about the local people on average they plan to spend about two thousand hryvnias on meals, you don't plan, uh, everything one must live here and now, and i want everything on the table that we love, that we, that children will love , gifts mostly for children and a much more modest festive menu in the capital new year's budget for two people from one and a half thousand hryvnias this is a minimum of 3,000 hryvnias on average for food, the same amount for gifts, and while

ukrainians are estimating their own calculations from experts, olivier salad will be almost 42% more expensive than last year, and expenses for meat products have also increased by 28%. fruits for the new year's table, tangerines, bananas and persimmons increased in price by almost 60 vegetables by 40%. you will have to pay more for a bottle of game from that + 28% to the old price, so nowadays ukrainians think carefully about what to put in the basket and look at the festive menu jelly from soup sets cheap poultry and a minimum delicacies for the new year's table, ukrainians are looking for a discount, they get supplies from the cellar and prepare strong drinks with their own hands, a kiyanka natalya shares her recipe, these are ukrainian strawberries, so uh, very good tincture for a two-liter jar of a kilogram of strawberries, uh, then i took half a kilo of sugar and half a liter of vodka

, it turns out more and it turns out tastier and we know that it is pure homemade. if there used to be a queue near the yatoks with a special cut, now most of them pass by. well, there won’t be a kryvenka for sure. well, i think so. and there will definitely be simple salads, there will be champagne, and there will also be gifts loved ones made by themselves well, for example, this is a set of decorations for the christmas tree made of glass by the tiffany stained glass technique, it is a very long process and precious glass, but to say that the gift itself is expensive no, you can’t say that, the main thing , the interviewees say, is the mood and pleasant company, then the holiday will be even without lights cozy and soulful, all the more the desire for one next year will definitely bring victory viktoria dmytrenko nataliya farmasu olena koptyur and olga kosenko we are ukraine marathon the only news is the christmas tree has already been installed not yet but i'm going. i don't know, maybe i'll install it and

this new year's mood will appear, but so far even the desire to install a christmas tree has not arisen for some reason, but i think for obvious reasons and suspect that i'm not the only one to be celebrated or not next year, with or without a christmas tree, it 's up to everyone, but if you still decided to decorate the new year's tree, tetiana gavryliuk collected current trends and asserts that rabbits as a symbol of the new year have taken a back seat, now we have other main christmas tree heroes, see environmental friendliness and patriotism - these are the trends of new year's decorations of the coming year at the peak of the popularity of decorating from cotton this year of course cotton has acquired a new sound and all the attention is on cotton in combination with balls and without small dried flowers and large compositions it is all very natural very ecological at the same time we see that the christmas tree is very ukrainian among

the colors in fashion, shades of pastel red and gold, if you like the classics, they will not disappear from the trends, but nowadays many ukrainians are wearing a yellow-blue new year's tree another trend this year is here are such charms, for example, a bird, this is an angel, and you can also decorate a christmas tree with them, a water rabbit, a symbol of the coming year, as a rule, it leads the ladder and sales, but not this year, our top sale is toys. thank you for the village where we have the image directly er, the image of our occasion. and also huts, carolers, balls with a sunken russian flagship and thematic toys of watermelons and yellow-blue hearts as a symbol of the liberated kherson. we have involved almost all the artists who are in this position but we don't have time, instead of ordinary flashlights this year, a battery-powered garland
