is a kind of populism, and on the other hand, they clearly did not involve sociologists, it seems to me, because it is very in fact, i have not seen such a direct approval of this idea among the academic community, everyone criticizes actually coming back i already mentioned these 3,610 words in the speech of president zelensky's address to the parliament and i already said it yesterday. today i want to repeat it that there was no place for democracy among those 3,610 words. and values ​​were also mentioned several times there, but those values ​​were not named either, although they are known if we move exactly to uh integration with the european union with e that is, we remember in principle these lisbon principles and i i i.e. these values ​​e-e these are also human rights this and equality e this democracy

and so on and the rule of law i i say this in order to e it seems to me that there is a certain danger in saying that when we remember how in the 19th year another representative of the president's office told us that we don't need the media, we will communicate directly with people, and even today in such this relationship works survey they me a little they remind me maybe i'm wrong god forbid that we don't need sociologists and your services, we can directly ask people what we want and what about the idea of ​​holding elections with smartphones we also hear about it all the time that we don't need it either - and this whole election system, you and i, is this, well , this is a dangerous flirtation, it seems to me that this is also a dangerous flirtation, and it is a circumvention of the mechanisms

on which procedural democracy in the country is supported. exactly what else i wanted to ask the attitude towards the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate . it is as if it still officially calls itself, although according to the law it should be called something else, which has already been adopted, or has it changed radically ? we looked, we simply directly asked people whether they support the imposition of sanctions initiated by the president of ukraine on the higher clergy of the uoc mp, and

it seems that 70-74 percent of the population of ukraine said that they support it, and absolutely most of them there are 50 or so percent, also somewhere around 54, and they said that they fully support them, there are no doubts, that is, these are interesting numbers, i can say that we also looked at how people of different religious views answer this question, and 30% of the parishioners of the uoc mp said that they support the imposition of sanctions on the higher clergy of the uoc mp, well, this is this and this is an amazing story, it reminds me of a survey there at the time, it seems to be kuchma, when the number of ukrainians who trusted the police at that time was less than the number of policemen and their family members. that is, this is basically showed the whole problem, the whole depth of the

problem, but by the way, speaking of trust , how much has it strengthened? and is this a trend that is new and will continue ? it is difficult to name the number of surveys because we are conducting a lot of them now a-a confidence has increased in er-e really almost all a-a public institutions , including political ones a-a to the president has increased to the verkhovna rada and has almost not changed slightly increased to the cabinet ministers, of course has increased very much to the army of the armed forces and to law enforcement agencies has also increased compared to the new year a-a to the media a little increased to the church increased increased so we are to volunteers

of public organizations a-a i.e. the general trend is that ukrainians began to trust more and the language is not about and we are talking about general trust in some very abstract institutions a-a with which people do not trust some specific people or in the family there are friends a-a and to such large abstract machines with which people cannot directly communicate and this in fact, it is a very good trend, and because it is precisely on this general trust that the public sector works, and mutual aid works, and democracy works in the state. thank you, mrs. polina polina bondarenko, political analyst of the democratic initiatives foundation named after ilko kucherov, who recently conducted fresh polls, eh, this is a marathon expresso you are staying with us. then we will also talk about interesting topics, in particular, we are waiting for

yuriy ignat to visit us, we will try to understand with him some strange statistics that were announced by the military, there was one statistics on the number of destroyed russian missiles but the advisers of all kinds of the president who are told that how are they respected and respected in them? the statistics were different. why is that? but just now we will talk about how the trains will run for the holidays, uh, how they cope with the fact that there is no electricity and what kind of st. nicholas train that runs near the frontline cities , we will talk about all this in just a few seconds with the head of communications oleksandr shevchenko of ukrzaliznytsia, we are waiting for

him on our airwaves. but in the meantime, this russian opposition publication is on medusa. the investigation about medvedchuk turns out to be alive. he is at peace with himself in moscow, and his daughter attends one of the moscow universities, but she really wanted to enter to switzerland, but her visa was canceled a few days before, so all that money didn't help her. by the way, they drew a visa so interestingly. well, i think it's obvious why, in principle, they were right in thinking that they can, er, everything they can to live somewhere abroad and enjoy all the benefits of civilization, and they will work against this human civilization. that ’s how it is, three ukrainians are studying here. and

we still have this geneva university, but she can’t go there because she has a visa. canceled and three ukrainians are studying there for a fee, although i don't know how their studies are continuing now they are daria medvedchuk of danylkosovsky and valentina shust a-a ot danyl of kosovsky - this is the son of the archpriest of the ukrainian orthodox church of moscow patriarchy why? why is he teaching his son somewhere there in some swiss higher and why not? and why not in russian? well, i don't know. i just sent fire hygiene, just there will be a nursery for these lgbt people. so it just exposes the child to danger, well, you see, but well, he doesn't want simple solutions here, he wants the child to be hardened and passed. you know all the chases and trumpets and everything in the world. where do you want to go? and then

, where do you want to go, then a special military operation and to bakhmut, well, it's the only road after the university of geneva, the fire, the fire of the copper mine trumpets, all the work is on bakhmut and what to do, what to do, the steel is hardened, so to speak , the real outcasts of medvedchuk and the russian world, he is not the russian world, but they are ukrainians by origin. do you understand all this, this is even worse, this is a very philosophical question who are they are ukrainians by origin, well, because ethnically , for sure, but are they ukrainians in spirit or are they ukrainians, god, now there are some henchmen and friends of putin in all his economic affairs and in affairs, too, and the war with ukraine, for such brothers kovalchuks kovalchuks these are some of his neighbors, some oligarchs who are there with him, he goes to them there, they go to his place for coffee, so on and so forth. medvedchuk is also like a ukrainian, is he from volyn or

where are his ancestors from? well , i have a big question, and this is a big question for all ukrainians, what does it mean to be ukrainian, not in the ethnic sense, but in the political sense, in the sense of a political nation. and yesterday, by the way, we talked about this with a very cool, cool cultural expert from lviv and in principle, wait for a quick one. sorry, because here i got confused in all these universities. so, medvedchuk's daughter was admitted to the university of geneva, but she couldn't go because i poured out this visa, and here are all the children of kosova and valentina shust, and together with this one their daughter is studying at a higher school of economics in russia and they are somewhat outraged, of course, in russia about this. because it seems that they were pushed there, too, according to some scheme. well, in a word,

europe did not open the door to these children. measures he is like that, he crawls through and then begins to eat away from the inside, do you remember that we dreamed about this in the 14th year, and now it actually happened, i.e. finally they are punished yes, oleksandr shevchenko is already with us yes, with us oleksandr shevchenko is the head of communications of ukrzaliznytsia p oleksandr good morning to you good morning wow and you are going somewhere right at the station i am always here we worked here today because we were running late as you know two trains had to meet the shopkeepers and so we spent the night here and met they drove me around the city, that's why i have such a long morning, oleksandr, how is it now with the trains being late, because before ukrzaliznytsia was noted for the fact that everything arrived on time, now we understand that the new uh-uh circumstances, how are they all, everything that

is happening in ukraine from turning on electricity, shelling and so on, to what extent do they affect the observance of schedules, i tell you that even now, in principle, we stand out against the background of european railways by the fact that we arrive on time, but now, as of today, 88% of trains are on schedule quite a high indicator considering the fact that yesterday six of our regions were de-energized from the so we took out reserve boilers and added reserve wagons, transferred people and about this, in fact, nine out of 10 trains are moving according to schedule, and as of this morning we have e- the situation is even better, so now, as you know, the air force of ukraine repelled an enemy attack at night, and so we don’t have any new delays. the infrastructure is working, all reserve trains are in place, if necessary, they will go to work, but now we are leaving without any problems the entire pre-holiday pre-holiday new year's club of travelers is quietly going to the mountains, they saw off the first flights in the morning, the first flight of the ski

express and the first flight of the bukovel express are full of people, 90% of each train is full, so we can see that well, the first railway second, people are ready for this, and finally they waited for the opportunity to choose even higher, oleksandr, talking in particular with foreigners who appreciate what i think ukraine is doing this year, what surprised them for many, this is how effective some state institutions were because there was such a persistent stereotype that ukraine is such a semi-well, that is, a highly corrupt state with very unreformed old industries where there is a lot built on some equally corrupt or somehow nepotistic connections well, i'm not going to tell you about it, everyone understands it well in ukraine, uh, and it seemed that way. but nevertheless, there are at least two examples that cause great

admiration for people from europe as well for example, i mean in the european union, this is an example, of course, of the national bank of ukraine, its very highly professional and effective plan for the implementation of actions at the very beginning of the invasion, and the second is, of course, ukrzaliznytsia, this is of course ukrzaliznytsia, and that's what it's called, the communication is working well, something is rubbish but but it's obvious that there are some problems with electricity now, uh, it often happens that in addition to everything, the light disappears, the connection disappears, and we also have to work in new circumstances, but we still get out, just short questions now they are in fashion, that is, now in our time, these are the questions briefly and to the point, because i am talking to myself, you know, because i love it, you know, if i could come in a little from afar, but now is not

such a time, oleksandr, congratulations on your return to our air have you heard about that? well, i think you guessed what i 'm talking about, that is, it's true, everyone expresses once again their admiration for the efficiency of ukrzaliznytsia, and what was the secret, there are no rivers like that, that ukrzaliznytsia has always been a semi- militarized, semi-military structure in ukraine, but on the eve of the war, it managed to do something to renew it can actually be seen on our faces, probably to some extent, eh. therefore, now it is an alloy of , well, let's say, the traditional system of the traditional order of structuring , systematicity and predictability of the same irony . now we have time well, for sure, the first important steps to the revolution in ukrzaliznytsia are still long to take

, and now it's just that it's on new rails, and it's even more illuminated because, after all, in the first days of a large-scale war, we understood that when there is chaos around, something in ukraine must be predictable and stable, but ukrzaliznytsia had to take on this role, that is why on february 24 they actually tried not to cancel a single flight and worked every day to take out as many people as possible who relied exclusively on the only a transport artery in ukraine that worked during this period, what exactly has become of ukrzaliznytsia in this year, almost a year of war, how important is the role of ukrzaliznytsia now in this war, we will be able to tell you fully about the role of ukrzaliznytsia after war, because now we still have a lot of transportation that we can't

announce and highlight in any way, but i think it won't be a secret for anyone that we are transporting people and humanitarian aid and the wounded and a lot of other things well, let's say. this is the only and main transport and logistics artery in the country, which all this time connects all regions and takes us. the same applies to trains for the wounded, respectively, ah, the whole diplomatic role, too. well, i mean logistics, diplomatic, it also fell on the railway, ah, since you saw, i think that all of them are actually the first persons of our allied states, they all arrive by railway, it has become a separate direction in general of our work, which somewhere did not predict even at the beginning but again, returning to the predictability of ukrzaliznytsia, we were preparing

for everything that began to happen at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, even before the winter period, the railway was ready alone from the first, there are probably large state companies. since we started preparing for winter back in may, we stocked up on coal, firewood, firewood , etc., and so today, full-fledged fortresses of indomitability are already deployed at key stations with a generator, food, hot tea, and so on, that's basically it it was still ahead of the curve somewhere with a state national program for the deployment of such points. oleksandr, in conclusion, very briefly. do you somehow always celebrate the period of holidays, it was such that someone went to kyiv, someone went to the west of ukraine, someone for the new year in the capital, does anyone actually go to the hutsul region for christmas or to galicia or something? do you somehow now celebrate this movement of ukrainians in both directions, or is there also a movement of ukrainian women who

come to ukraine especially for the holidays, despite the fact that here we have these massive rocket attacks, well, three eh three obviously the most popular directions. for today, this is the first story - these are international trains, because, well, they were, in principle, popular . let's say that until the new year period, but people continue to come back and leave periodically, this is normal for the condition. all our trains to poland, to austria, to hungary, to slovakia, to moldova, they are now actually filling up, and the second is mountain directions, respectively, today there are already the last tickets to yaremche, rakhiv, tatar, bukovel, slavska, they are already flying out like hot cakes and the third thing that probably causes the most pleasant breath somewhere is our retro-trains that run in kyiv and in lviv , there are already queues for them like for warsaw, respectively, that's exactly what you have on the screensaver, as far as i can see

, this is probably the third train, which somewhere even for us, there is a positive surprise. thank you very much. we thank ukrzaliznytsia, in particular, from under you, we will pass on to a person from ukrzaliznytsia, uh, our truly sincere admiration for the work of the railway workers , and many of them. and of course with the structure of the railway, but it was not successful. i really like this elegant wording of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine from the communication of ukrzaliznytsia now about how the enemy did not have good luck, yesterday we will talk with yuriy ignat, the spokesman of the air force of ukraine, mr. yuriy, good morning to you and good morning to you, yuriy, explain to me this strange mathematics

yesterday, it was not you who said it, but they said that it was the largest mass attack and mr. podolyak he said just 20 missiles fired, and then it turned out that there were fewer missiles, fortunately 69 of which 54 were destroyed, why somehow it is 120-69 54 does not all match. it's just that it's really not worth it here, well, it's just that when high- level officials don't say such things, then more attention to them actually because well because more attention so i'll just now explain now in fact there are now i'm clarifying the information already 70 missiles eh and eh 58 were destroyed because yesterday when we submitted this information it was preliminary data it is clear that the intensity the numbers are large and the defense forces are already counting, not only the air force destroys air

targets, but also other defense forces such as the ground forces, ground assault troops, and other ground defense forces also often destroy air targets, so there are actually updated data we will now publish them on to our page and actually, as for that number, well, you know that we have a lot of uh people, uh, well, actually, in the positions of officials and government officials, well, we have two connections and the mayor of the city is sinning in telegram channels, so in advance, publishing there more 13 planes are flying in the attack on ukraine. well, yesterday it was like that, in principle, it ’s always been like that. that’s 13 planes. each plane can carry a maximum of 8 missiles. yes. plus, let’s multiply . so 13 * 8 turns out to be 104 and plus 20 calibers on three carriers in black we have 124 seas, actually, that's all, that's all explanation, that is, what could be the maximum in

ukraine, er, 120, more than 120 missiles could be with potential carriers, so they were released, but usually the enemy releases less, well, if we could see the statistics, we often report the number of aircraft, including the one with the tale from volgonsk to be raised there were eight strategic tu-95mz, of which they fired only 6 missiles. there was also such a thing when each plane can fire eight. yes, and here eight planes and six missiles flew in total. well, it’s like a nightmare, a little, so to speak. yes, we had then there were also such launches, usually the occupiers release half less than half of the missiles from these strategic bombers . well, this is the explanation. i think everything is clear here. if i wanted to ask you about that missile, which is the first missile that hit a civilian house since february 24 in the frankiv region well

, it's a whole lot of happiness for that family that shota's rocket didn't explode. it just rammed into the wall and flew into the window. well, some kind of well-mannered rocket will say that it didn't make a hole in the wall, but just made a window opening a little bigger. what kind of rocket is this? why how did she fly there, where was she supposed to fly there, you mean yesterday, i honestly confess to you that the work for the court of mass information was so intense that a foreigner came to earth with us yesterday that i did not have the opportunity to visually see this rocket yet, but i think what and well, and in the end i will tell you that the air force sees its air targets, these are markers on the radars on the tablets, yes. well, what is already arriving is identified by the

relevant services that record russian crimes and so on. look at the photos in more detail, there are markings, there is a date of manufacture of those missiles, so i think that these services should make more public what kind of missile it is, because i personally cannot tell you right now, because i have not seen it and there is no such possibility in poland. and yesterday , video two was made public i identified at least one of them, if it was a famous person, er, harikin starsky, for example, and there was another video about how, er, cruise missiles with conventional manpads missiles collided. is this , is this a true story, or is it really possible so it's not true anymore, it's already reality, it's already fighters who have already shot down five rockets in our country, we'll definitely show them, now we'll send troops to our group, because civilians will

definitely not be allowed there, but we will be able to do something show these heroes, these people who, well, this seems to be the national guard, if i'm not mistaken, this is the video that i'm showing now, well , we have another one on the facebook page of the southern air command, and there is also such a hit that they published yesterday, it seems and we we have a lot of such cases we are talking about interaction because you understand that manpads have no limited range of use both in height and in distance. we are talking about a few there 5 km in height and up to eight there can be approximately plus or minus in terms of range , so er, a missile that moves at speed kilometers per hour is pressed low to the ground, that's why they are created, those cruise missiles, to be barely noticeable, to go around the reliefs of the area, and so on, to appear over the horizon unexpectedly and er, yes

, it is extremely difficult, that's why all our er, alert systems systems that there are different ones working even acoustic data, what kind of sensor is going to collect all the things, well, and the radar devices see them accordingly, that’s why the issue here is experience in speed, servicemen are already more and more often shooting down rockets precisely in the composition of mobile groups, there are also defeats from anti-aircraft guns, and there have even been cases of a machine gun, well, it’s one in a thousand, i’ll say that it’s actually impossible to hit such a whole, but there are german cheetahs, which anti-aircraft self-propelled guns have their own sensitive radar. they are also good to practice the only question is the range, you need to be in the right place at the right time in order to intercept it, that is why it is precisely the firearms that can shoot down drones and missiles. we need options in quantity to really cover

all areas of threatening directions, can there be another such massive attack, i don’t know on the eve of the new year itself, that is, tomorrow or i don't know when the chimes will strike midnight in russia and they will also decide to give us their gifts here. in november, they released them there almost every day because they had them in stock, so it cannot be ruled out here, and regarding the missile attack , well, the president of ukraine said that there might be a possibility of this, there is a possibility that they planned it in advance because we have seen an example. i already gave today , on october 10, there was a missile attack there for 50 or 70 years. it seems that on october 10, 28 missiles flew and on the second day, that is, the enemy

planned er missile strikes on no in a row, so er, it cannot be ruled out but you can do it we won't make any predictions, either, because we have a very sensitive audience, people react a lot to it, especially we have an insensitive audience, if we still have a lot of journalists, bloggers, wage-earners who make terrible headlines, yes, ignat declared a new terror will be, well, i just ca n't do it if some military expert is doing it, that's one thing, a representative of the air force. it's already necessary, but you can make money on it, on youtube, russia said yesterday that it will never run out of caliber missiles. what's the truth? it's a noodle noodle for your own audience. it's clear. and what should they say in your opinion? they'll say that

uh , yes. no, the west is talking. the author is saying that we will do everything imperceptibly until the end of our days with those calibers. well, what about production, how much time is it in time? and can something happen at that production? and can the sanctions of the ninth package influence so that not only calibers, but also civil aviation and everything else, including oil production, their industry has stopped. well, of course, what can they do? the question is in the control of those sanctions, if they really work, it will be the end of the economy, the country is an aggressor. thank you, mr. yuriy . iryna koval , the news release is ready and she will tell us what happened there. thank you, colleagues . in just a moment, i will tell you about the situation in different regions of our country. so please wait .
