occupied sevastopol, the invaders intensified their agitation for military service under a contract to of the armed forces of the russian federation, ukrainian missile and artillerymen over the past day hit the command post of seven areas of concentration of personnel forces and military equipment, two warehouses of ammunition, as well as an important military object of the occupiers, believe in the armed forces, together we will win glory to ukraine glory to the heroes thank you to our heroes thank you to our armed forces of ukraine and all those who protect our peace for their daily hard work every minute around the clock, we will see now a small video that will simply show why democracy is much more effective than all these authoritarian regimes. it is no secret that many ukrainians, and especially ukrainian politicians, in particular, listen to the people very much.

who admire china and wish that there was an example before the party of regions really liked to set china as an example, these hospitals have finally appeared, the first videos are being circulated unofficially, but this is the washington times , it seems, the washington post, and so look at what is happening in china now 250 million fell ill in a month, 250 million it turned out that chinese vaccines do not work, it turned out that the zero-code policy worked even in such an authoritarian, in fact, authoritarian state as china, and this is how it looks, literally killed all the hallways are blocked, all the corridors and morgues are blocked, in fact, it turned out that there is not enough in china, look at all these people, they do not have any basic ba-ballon, we are going back to publicize no oxygen balloons, no intensive therapy, that is, many of them are simply doomed and well that is, i don't

want to be a bad prophet, but we can assume that china will at least emerge after this outbreak of the epidemic with one of the worst mortality rates in the world in the end, and this shows that authoritarian regimes despite the fact that they can quickly mobilize in critical situations on long distances they always lose and e so russia loses and so loses in the end china is authoritarian and china will win i think there will be a chance for some other china in some new other world because the world is changing now in totalitarians, people are consumables, as in i think that for the leadership of china , someone is dying somewhere in the corridors of their hospitals because they lack the necessary equipment and lack of medical personnel in order to cope with such a large number of patients as well as for but they

could do they could admit that their vaccines do not work well they could buy western vaccines but admit that the west is better and western products western is better is to admit that they are worse and admit such countries do not know how to show their weakness. well, even for the country, and their leader is like this, our own lives are now hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of chinese people who will die right now because they have been vaccinated with bad chinese vaccines well, that's all history. well, not about china, not about russia, but about our affairs. how is kyiv surviving? now let's talk with kyiv city council member zoya and first deputy head of kyiv city state administration mykola povoroznyk, gentlemen. welcome to our broadcast . good morning. what is the situation with covid, is the incidence still being registered, is there any overcrowding in what, what is there heard about blood - is it

to whom to ask questions, mykola, you can’t, do you have statistics, there is no continuing with, let’s say, the situation with krid continues in in the city of kyiv, but it does not carry such a threat of character, it has already turned into a uh, sessional seasonal disease, uh, we have uh, uh, diseases, but they are not so massive, the only thing i would like to remind you is that we definitely have everything for that so that you don't have to worry about the cost of treatment, and i would still advise all those who have not yet been vaccinated to get vaccinated, well, this video is actually a reminder that omicron covid still exists . still deadly if for some real reason you missed it and didn't

did you have any vaccinations, please do it now and now there are, and if we talk about statistics, for the past week we recorded a total of 103 diseases in kiev , diseases per corner and that is, these are completely new, some meager statistics of comparison in our country. well, you see. well well, let's talk a little about what's happening with the warm, light communication , er, in the capital of ukraine, er, how do we enter the next year, with what kind of mood and with what hopes, er, let's, well, once again, with mr. mykola, let's start and mrs. teeth continue well, we have recently managed to stabilize the situation with electricity. at the same time, as of this morning, we still have emergency disconnections of about 300,000

subscribers today. in those bushes where the electricity is turned off, this includes the heating and water supply of apartment buildings, it means high-rise buildings after the 14th floor, there are pumps. they have equipped electric generators that are powered by this is a small boiler room that is powered by central electric power. they also do not work during the shutdown period. the only thing i would like to note is that, of course, since the residents address the residents, there are options. we can influence the size there. consumption is meant there on a working day or a day off or for repair of equipment in general, but what can be done is , after all, savings, it must remain with

us and we must pay enough attention to this is put in order not to overload the system and to give the opportunity to repair it as well as the quality already so that it works more reliably , and the city and diptek are all working on ensuring that electricity consumers are maximally provided with money. well, yes, i absolutely support it. we are trying to get out of of the emergency shutdown mode to the already planned according to the schedule so that people can plan their time and i would also like to call on the residents, we have cases when the apartments of multi-apartment buildings break out gas cylinders, batteries, and i still asked everyone to familiarize themselves with the rules of safety techniques, not to leave more gas tiles with cylinders on the surface of electric stoves, what is the case

, yes, there have also been such cases, to buy fire extinguishers in addition to such equipment, because you know it is a shame when we ourselves harm ourselves. especially in such a difficult time, we absolutely understand the difficulties faced by the townspeople, but we still ask you to take care of yourself and your safety, or still adhere to such by the way, rules about safety. and are there many cases of that? well, we know that ukrainians are people who know how to fix things in all kinds of different ways , and people are resourceful, and i've already seen, mmm, in photos and videos, how people sometimes install things generators somewhere on the ninth floor somehow they fit it to the balcony and to what extent is this some kind of mass phenomenon and what to do with such

people because on the one hand they turn off the electricity, you have to do something somehow well, on the other hand, when you walk by the house and suddenly it will fall on your head a generator or someone's apartment will have these exhausts, well, it's not very pleasant, mykola, in this situation, you need to contact your management companies, the managers of the buildings, in order to influence this situation , because first of all, i'm a fan here. i absolutely agree. first of all, it must be absolutely safe to use certain devices. these are gas cylinders. is it an electric generator or a gas generator? they have them. they have them today . in places prepared for this, like in apartment buildings, etc. , it should be done with maximum caution, with maximum safety measures,

there are fire extinguishers, there are distances, let's say from the wall, from the apartment, if we are talking, for example, about the generator where it should be installed, all these are elements of danger and it is necessary to pay attention absolutely seriously to the recent cases, literally yesterday, also the case when a small spray bottle that has a small volume practically destroyed it it's good that there was no fire. and it's good that there were no people there at that time. i also ask about the law 56-55, which is changing the rules of urban development in the city, which was strongly opposed by the mayors of cities and towns community well, in particular, for example, the mayor of lviv yesterday published an entire column on social media where he describes in detail why he thinks that this is a very bad bill, a more precise law,

it must be changed, and you think that this law literally splits society and actually eliminates the city and the community from in principle, it is possible to influence what this or that building will be. in your opinion , should this law be changed, as kyiv deputies, as the kyiv authorities, the kyiv administration are looking at these new legislative innovations here, well, everyone can have their own opinion, but the position of the mayors is already known, as you said, my position and that of our faction. we also do not support this law, first of all, because ukraine has taken a lot of steps in the direction of decentralization and precisely with this motive, so that people can influence the development of their city and on the very territory on which they will

live and where their children will live and where they will be built in the future, in fact, this law is crossing out precisely the reform of decentralization and the influence on urban planning in every context and community will not be able to influence not only at the stage of -e approval of urban planning documentation and the granting of permits and at the stage when this e-e construction will take place in order to as we know , there are such cases when unscrupulous developers do not deviate from the approved conditions and build something completely different from the same the monster building has become well, of course, in the city of kyiv , it is already so-called, and even at this stage, the community will not be able to influence in any way to stop such construction, and that is why, in my opinion, this is the

law . corruption, but you know on the street, we have to deal with this not by taking away opportunities from the communities and on coupling , mr. mykola, your opinion . of ukraine and the position of which was expressed by vitaliy klitschko in terms of the fact that well, why, what is affected by this law, the only thing i would like to add is that the city has repeatedly encountered such problems, and not only at the stage of construction a and sub- the houses, er, what do we call them, wojciechovsky and arcade, and the center even earlier, that’s all, let’s say the elements of one chain,

ah , what else would i like to add? construction industry eh well, it is not so necessary that this law is adopted now without enough of such a public discussion, what is the problem? the need during the war to pass a law that turns down local self-government and turns centralization, well , for me it remains 48. i think that the president should react at least by arguing that returning this law is all not the verkhovna rada in order for it to be at least publicly discussed and a consolidated decision made, the question is really open, what is the urgent need? maybe someone can already see the end

of this war, the completion of a large program is already being developed and the reconstruction of cities where whole neighborhoods will be demolished and new ones will be built . thank you very much for this conversation mykola steam train p- turner in front of the first deputy head of the kyiv city council administration and zoya and the result of the kyiv city council were with us and now we will talk with mr. serhii from creator, military expert, director of the defense express company, but for starters, before we start talking with mr. sergey, good morning, mr. sergey, i want to show you one photo. it was shared by andriy kurkov, writer, photo from izhevsk, izhevsk, how can you not know izhevsk izhevsk, udmurtia, advertisement of new year's courier service in the middle of the city, there is a huge banner on which it says

встречна опсифика груз 200 organization of farewell ceremonies проштания obstruystvo graves работаем 24/7 well, uh, the phone number is obvious the most profitable profession in russia right now, i think hrushevsky, that's right. now there, in addition to that in russia, as it turned out, it's already over, the funerals are over, and they're starting to send out these forms on which curtains are written for the families of russians who were sent to war of their own relatives and here are the funerals and there you can see in the right corner it is written personal assistant closes in the right corner there it says 1974 that form, here our viewers can now also see uh, in a word, you are sending out old forms that are still left in russia from the time of the war in afghanistan that is what

back then, it was still soviet times. sergey, what is so bad about russians, well, these are probably the funerals for those who can still be buried , maybe if we ask the situation around bakhmut in general, they are not going to er take away their er fighters and this the category of their own is not бросаемоей, it is very clearly manifested there in those corpses that are scattered on the pistomas to bahmut so that in any case we understand that slowly the situation for e-e russia is becoming more and more complicated, although i had a conversation with one expert who says such a good phrase about the fact that we really want the enemy is not as strong as he tries to demonstrate it to us, but not as weak as we want to see it so what do you think, we need to find a real perception of the enemy because everything is equal, we have to understand that everything exactly he carries evil and carries it by force, we need

to counteract this aurimas e-e canopy officer of the special forces and these lithuanians and here he predicted on lithuanian television e-e public e scenario how the war in ukraine will end and when and he has four options as of now the name is short, the first one is, relatively speaking, to pull the rubber, as he put it, when will this continue, what is going on now, the russians will continue to try to mobilize something and deconserve it and throw it into meat grinders like bachmut well, the west will continue to provide us with aid and it will last even longer, this war is exhausting and until ukraine wins in the end, but mr. navis says that it will be done at the expense of ukrainians and that this is the most expensive resource of which in ukraine there is not much of it in any way the russians did not say and he also omits that ukraine

after all, he can make a new powerful breakthrough , this is another version of it will somehow eventually lead to some kind of fall of power in russia, well, in a word, to some disturbances and this will bring some options closer when the russians themselves will withdraw their troops at least to the borders before the beginning invasion of february 20, 24 well, the following options are less likely , and the third option is that the russians will use nuclear weapons, they will still somehow transport nuclear weapons there to luhansk region, for example, tactically , nuclear weapons will be used there to stop the attack on svatov and kreminna, and this will change the situation and the fifth amendment to the nato treaty will be included, and it is not certain that somehow nato will intervene. and finally, option four is fantastic, it is the fact that some kind of revolution or regime change will begin in russia, an elephant of change from the middle. what about that's what you

think, mr. serhiy, well, do you remember that in the summer someone discussed with you about the scenario prepared by the cnn company at that time, where actually there were three or four scenarios, but there was not one related to the victory of ukraine, now the positive is that really all recognize that ukraine is capable of ensuring a military defeat of the enemy on the battlefield , no one rejects this, especially after the situation under e-e khartoum and after the liberation of kherson oblast. that is, we demonstrated our capabilities both in defense and in attack, but now of course, our potential largely depends on regularity and the reliability of foreign military aid, which significantly affects the accumulation of our reserves, so now we are at a certain temporary plateau where, relatively speaking, we accumulate reserves and save them extremely sparingly

we are using the regulatory formation of these reserves with the pace of foreign aid arrival, and the enemy is now trying to accumulate human reserves, to create groups, although he is not actually creating them now, but blurring the darkening of the front that already exists, and now there is such a gradual raising of the stakes without, relatively speaking, sharp movements with of both sides and that is why the assessment of this scenario, which is said by a foreign expert, i actually do not rule out the fact that hostilities will continue for at least two to three years because even taking into account the presence of russian stocks, despite the fact that we have analyzed them, we understand that everything is the same stock of military equipment in various manifestations allows russia to drag out

hostilities for two or three years at a reduced rate of effectiveness, but this does not mean that it is actually just food. i think that mom says whether now the next year will really be sufficiently indicative if we take into account zelensky's address yesterday that the next year should be decisive. types, volumes, the depth of conducting these offensive operations depends on the volume of foreign aid, so far this is the only restraining factor that does not allow us to quickly implement plans related to the liberation of our territory, so in any case, this scenario is the first that a foreign expert puts forward - mo- it can only be if there is a slow arrival of foreign military weapons, let's say the weapons arrive. let's say that all this drags on for 2-3 years, will there be enough human reserves to lead, well, or are they in russia endless although

their funerals are already ending there, but the population there is much larger than the population of ukraine well, we see that they will do everything that putin tells them and will not resort to any protests if we try to measure the situation only by a linear comparison of human resources of course, we feel like we are more vulnerable. but the american and british military have repeatedly told our military that if you engage in a linear confrontation, you will lose. let's not go linearly. non-linearity is the supply of those weapons systems that equalize the balance on the battlefield due to quality and not quantity, but now the question is what are those supplies of the weapons type that allowed us to ensure, relatively speaking, the kharkiv operation there and the kherson operation, how about me they just need to be

scaled, mom, mom, now, these discussions with foreign military about ensuring asymmetric actions, about the rational use of ammunition, the transition to high-precision approaches , it has the right to life, but it must be reinforced by supplies from western countries, what i have already said before, if conditionally speaking, there is an opportunity to grind a much larger human resource into which russia prevails over ukraine, but at the expense of a change in approaches to the construction of our defense in order to compensate for the russian advantage at the expense of technological advantages. is it possible will this war become the kind of war that was the war between cancer and wound, which will last for decades and will be bloody enough all this time, or ukraine can break this scenario in the next year well, there is also a scenario and the war between north and south korea, which actually ended without any agreements

, but with a significant line of contact, which still remains sufficiently tense, which requires a significant amount of forces and resources from both sides to control this line of contact, and here we see precisely the even on the example of south and north korea, how have the defense and offensive systems of these countries changed ? actions and i think that this is an example that we can take as a basis for the transformation of our and the topic of the defense of the defense-industrial complex. reality yes, i think these things that we are talking about, how to protect ourselves from an army that has

an advantage in numbers, should become the basis of this defense review that is being carried out in parallel, in close interaction with the american side, and here will once again be another way to prove to the americans that the guys need more e-e equipment, more weapons and not only that outdated equipment, but actually to bet on e approaches to the network of sacentric combat operations, it looks rather loud in the background such hostilities in pakhmut, reminiscent of the period of the first world war, covered by the war, but there is also an example of extremely technological things that the american side helps us with, in particular, the palantir system, which is actually a real-time intelligence system that was used in previous operations against the enemy and is still used so that now we have such a strange symbiosis of old approaches and new technological solutions that we already have from our partners, but it is the technological approach that needs to be scaled by the defense committee

shol criticized the bundestag for not wanting to provide tanks to ukraine, or is it possible that their criticism will still put pressure on him and the decision to provide tanks will be supported and we we will get them to the extent that they will change the picture of hostilities. well, we really need heavy armored vehicles. when i was actively talking about three cups of 700 bmps and 500 guns, these are not general needs for victory, these are needs for conducting an operation in the south, when we talk about the formation there at least 5 10 brigades that are supposed to ensure the active advance of the action, cutting off the forces that russia is currently withdrawing to the south, creating fortifications just in the south, these are the needs for one operation precisely on the mm liberation of the zaporizhia region there and advance to the crimea, so against this background, the

number of armored vehicles must be significantly increased, and the question of german tanks and american tanks is already so often. in germany to influence the change of policy in shock, by the way, i do not rule it out, because my mother says, is it true that now the dynamics of german aid is increasing, we say that out of eight billion euros of exports 2.2 billion is germany's export. now it is the supply of weapons to ukraine, so it does not include that pressure from the american side and german politicians can still lead to the decommissioning of certain samples in german tanks and to the transfer to ukraine, but this is in order to put it will also take from three to six months, but german tanks are closer than american

abrams, although there are much more abrams than oparids. the director of the defense express company was with us, the second hour of today's espresso marathon is coming up little by little, there will be a few more hours and many more guests, and we will talk about humor and fun and sad, in principle, how our lives are now from good and sad news, and now, before there is news about what happened in the last hour, i propose a moment of remembrance to remember all those ukrainians who died because of the fact that russia went to war against ukraine, we will honor
