future and, believe me, he joined this with incredible work and incredible strength, despite the fact that he already understood that he had a serious illness that it took a lot of strength, the human qualities of this man were beyond the limit because he was always looking for the truth in any discussion in any discussion and we always succeeded in this, he never had enemies he could always find military volunteers in the capital for every word organized on social networks, more than a thousand of them appeared both in ukraine and abroad. what gifts do ukrainian soldiers get for the christmas tree? the espresso film crew already knows. for example, this package will go to the military

dubai, and some for security reasons simply number sweets, warm clothes, sleeping bags and warmers. such packages were collected by people in order to organize a holiday for our soldiers on the front line. it all started with an idea and a post on the social network. on the first day, more than a hundred people responded already today. their number exceeded a thousand, i was thinking about how to help our boys. so, in parallel, i had just the idea of ​​a secret santa, but not for the military, but simply that this year, we also need to make a secret santa, and just they somehow got together and i realized that we can make a secret santa for the military to process the information alone. it was impossible to join the project. santa's assistants were also called, friends and acquaintances of everyone in the team. now, about 20 volunteers, girls and boys, are responsible for the security of gifts, so everyone goes through a thorough check and then we check that there are no prohibited

substances , alcohol, etc. we pack it carefully, we take tape and carefully everything is closed so as not to get confused , the volunteers divided those willing to send gifts into groups and created an electronic control of the military about the general desire to participate in the talny site because some of them are in very hot positions after that we received the call sign of a fighter and the division in which it is located, and after that, this data was entered into a table and scattered among secret santas and elves. the geography of gift packages is diverse and goes beyond foreigners joined ukraine, they sent it to nata, and a team of volunteers in ukraine

bought the most necessary things for the fighters. parcel. i just arrived in ukraine, but i was in cyprus. at first, everyone was looking for thermal underwear in the city . they did not find the right size and searched everything in the stores. what else can be put, they put thermal socks, uh, fleece a jacket of a protective color and sweets. currently, most of the gifts that were sent abroad were sent by ukrainians, but we also know that our friends from abroad, from ireland and canada, also joined a little. more than 30 people in the first batch of gifts have already been sent to the donetsk direction, in particular to military personnel who they are defending the hottest point of the contact line, the city of bakhmut, thank you very much for the parcels, i only have my shirt alive

to carry out technical work that allowed to stabilize the situation in kyiv, today we are returning to the schedule of stabilization blackouts posted on the website the company added that the schedules will be able to be followed if there are no new attacks. at the same time, after the light appeared all at the same time turn on a large number of energy devices , because of this there are many accidents on the distribution networks, our crews are working 24/7 to carry out repairs and restore the supply of light, and there is important news from president joseph biden, that is, in general, nothing unexpected happened, but a certain point, such a bold point, was put by joseph biden the president of the united states signed the budget for the 23rd year with multibillion-dollar aid to ukraine, the head of the white house indicated that he signed a bipartisan comprehensive bill that

completes a year of historic progress, quotes the president and the united states, it provides a budget for investments in medical research, security , health care for veterans , disaster relief, funds for the fight against violence against women and critical aid for ukraine, the signed budget allocates 1.7 trillion to the united states government until the end of september dollars including 858 billion for defense needs and 45 billion for aid to ukraine, but of course the top topic remains the situation on the fronts and we will talk about it with our military experts will now work for you, ihor lapin, a special officer, an officer of the armed forces of ukraine, a people's deputy of the eighth convocation, as well as roman svitan, a military expert , a reserve colonel of the armed forces of ukraine, glory

to ukraine, god bless you. accordingly, we may have to wait for certain, so to speak, operational changes. how do you see the situation with the appointment of a new commander of the western of the military district, this is already the fourth or the seventh, that is, they can't solve the problem with this district, basically, there are constant failures in this district, and due to waste and non-fulfillment of certain tasks, they later change nikiforov was changed from submission, most likely this is harsh and beautiful, that is, this person is somehow

tied to them, and they will try to solve the problem together with him , which is now one of the most painful for russians, our movements troops in the area of ​​svatovoy and kremennoy like this just the responsibility of this general , uh, uh, uh, uh, his spectrum of activity. well, i would just like to remind you that once he took part in the planning of a luckily unsuccessful russian operation, it is about an invasion from the north. yes , uh, but on the other hand, they managed certain preparatory moments conduct is about the enemy p igor how do you see the appointment of nikiforov and in general, we understand that it is possible that they decided to strengthen the western group in this way, well, we understand that it is possible that it is about the accumulation of additional military reserves and military forces in order to

open a new section of the front, well, regarding the accumulation of additional reserves, i think that these things will not pass the full attention of our intelligence, as well as from these possible intelligence intelligence data that we can receive non-stop from our partners well, i have little faith in other satellites, although in principle these also work, however, the dragging of reserves is all connected with a large number of logistical operations and it can not go through. other well, let's say it's my deep conviction to try to put out the fire that is already starting to spread in this direction due to the change of management, well, this is the last thing, i can say even from my own example, after that injury, an intelligent officer arrived in my place and so on. well, while he is in place on the earth, as they say, figured out what

was happening in those positions of the words and on the right and within the boundaries of the battalion that i commanded, but for three days there at least my brains melted because, well, really, everything had to be avoided because those who live on earth they always know what is happening in their radius, i will say. yes, when a new person arrives under their operational command, they must of course have a certain period of time in order to understand what is happening, that he has the strength, means, and so on. i think that this is just the chance for our troops while they are there, they are just doing their job, although it is not easy to do it, i mean now that it is enough for a soldier, but when we do everything equally, we have to do our own thing and we have to count them, as they say by the heads and exterminate well, accordingly, i would like us to now, so to speak, walk through the possible directions of actions of the russian enemy, so rather

they are preparing for another new, not new, but military phase, that is, the number of manpower that they have recruited and is evidence that they may be preparing additional weapons, additional units, yes , on the other hand, we understand that additional military units need not only recruits , but also equipment. logistics and so on, but as they say, putin gave the order and the generals got confused, so surovikin prigozhin and company, that is, they will now rather try to share certain powers in the places of the same gerasimov, so we understand that this is their internal struggle, in particular, it is about the struggle for power that can i don’t know, there may be certain reshuffles, in particular, this also applies to the

division of powers, but in any case, they also have to show something to their kremlin fuehrer, mr. roman, that the enemy can now prepare at what approximate pace the whole thing is happening, and in general, where can we expect an increase, so to speak, of their military presence? eh such an environment. and the mercantile component that puts pressure especially on such a-a thieves like prigozhin.

well, it is more likely that it is also eh that now we see our intelligence reports and, in principle, our eh eyes see in the occupied territory a certain flow of russian funds the federation enters the zaporozhye front, the zaporozhye front is mainly strengthened , but it is strengthened in the sense of an increase in the density of the army. that is, they will strengthen the dense properties. how is this the same? now they have a thin, thin section of the front, so-called, that is, about 300 km of the front at a depth of 100 km. the density is not enough to hold it, so they took theirs there. the direction of donetsk, especially the last time, has increased, eh, the movement of russians towards donetsk itself, south of

donetsk, donetsk, that is, towards the city of mariupol, they are increasing the direction of volnovakha in googledar . increase the width of the wax increases a certain number of russian troops, mainly from the part of the civilized ones who have participated in certain training in the area of ​​er-e starobelskaya happiness of luhansk, that is, they are already preparing a line of defense there as well, this is the second line of defense the main direction of movement of the russians, er , along the small shoulder, is from under valua towards kupyansk, that is, as soon as our demand begins, movements from podsvatov towards happiness on luhansk is most likely about the russians, eh, they will start a flanking attack from the left flank from the shaft in the direction of kupyansk to svatovo. well, this is

natural. flank этот фланговое дрействое mr. colonel, thank you for this detailed analysis of the situation. i would like to ask mr. ihor lapin, in particular, what we should expect from an increase in the density of russian troops, because this is an extremely important category, and we understand that significant successes the same troops of ours, so to speak, well, the lack of proper density of the enemy, so to speak, contributed to this, on the other hand, we understand that no density of infantry will be able to solve the issue of missing military equipment, heavy armor, possibly artillery systems, yes, but it is possible that they have enough artillery and heavy armored vehicles in the corresponding directions p igor as you can see

this schedule, i only have to add a few tests because the plan, the colonel really laid out the main strategic directions quite well regarding the density of infantry visas well with infantry, no matter how you twist it, but in the front line, you have to keep everything straight, there must be the first village, the second village, the third helmet of defense - this, well, logic suggests, and that's why they attack where they really don't have a second or maybe a third echelon in relation to in general, according to those directions for which we said yes, i agree. what kind of zaporizhia direction is mariupol, they will be able to strengthen berdyansk, too, why? because, well, we all heard the statement that in order to cut off crimea and make an island out of it, we need to decide two strategic sentences yes ie the crimean bridge and cut off this grouping to make it an island at the expense of those 84 km that mr. hostage mentioned, of course the russians

also analyze this, they also learn to fight and they see it, as for other directions, well, they have a rather colossal density of troops, artillery systems and tanks , etc. as they say, weapons are usually in the donetsk direction, where they are trying to push through our defenses in the area there, bakmut , vdiivka, etc. they are throwing some kind of progressive pressure there in this blizzard s- they are trying to fill it at once with a certain amount of iron, as they say, personnel, but lately their attacks are more and more conjured, despite the fact that they receive more and more mobilized eh, i can already say that not only the rams who were sent to the oboe have already arrived, but those who mobilized and went through the combat coordination training for several months and so on have already arrived, that is why we see this reinforcement and i emphasize that it is quite powerful but nevertheless, we are able to hold

on to the direction of bakhmut thanks to certain , let's say, tactical steps that were taken . we rejected it normally, and the guys there worked quite well. i think, let’s say, they worked quite powerfully, despite all the forecasts that the russians still have almost 40% of their artillery systems concentrated there, and so on. but again, i emphasize the possibility of interrupting their logistics do what these 40% of artillery systems feel to a certain extent well, i won't say projectile hunger, i will say yes shortage because russia was preparing for war and the intensity is decreasing maybe they have a certain lack of projectiles not that they are hungry but that they they can't let you down, and here we have high-vos, that's enough. well, a normal, normal topic. the topic is beautiful, so to speak

. i would also like to increase the number of suitable batteries, but in any case, i agree with what mr. ihor lapin has just stated, in particular, they have in some areas, there is a lack of ammunition for the same artillery, in any case, we all probably heard the swan song, so to speak, of war criminals from the wagner group, who began to cover the russian chief of general staff gerasimov with a three-story mat, shouting that they lack ammunition, well, accordingly the russian ministry of defense decided to cover up this story, so to speak, they said that it was a ukrainian beef fake, yes. then you went to the representatives of official adventures. well, they said that no, it was not a fake, well, here are two points, so reinforcement lines of tension within their operational command, perhaps on the ground, and perhaps even up to the very place
