populated areas there, tokmak, chernihivka, they are just located in the intersection of transport routes, today in the intersection, it just happened almost a day later, there are strikes, because there is exactly the intersection of railway tracks , highways, and actually, on the one hand, this can speak about the fact that that, on the one hand, we are significantly destroying the russian plans for the accumulation of forces, which are dragging their feet on military operations, on the other hand, we are creating the conditions for further offensive actions when this will happen, it is difficult to say, but in in any case, we understand that this entire section of the front may end up in the same situation as the right bank of the dnieper was at one time when there was talk of the liberation of kherson oblast, so in any case, about 200 km in width there within 100 km in

depth, this is what will be the basis, i think, for a month or two of the work of our long-range artillery , and this will be a formative mission before conducting offensive operations. such ambiguity directly says that in fact the ukrainian general staff should be much more cunning and i think that there will be no such frontal unequivocal decisions this time, i think that if friedrich engels knew the shame his name would be associated with in the modern russian federation, he would certainly have done something he wrote good things about russia, but unfortunately engels, the philosopher himself, has been gone for a long time. well, the settlement named after one of the creators of the communist idea, friedrich engels, this time was hit again by you know for sure, well, such a materialized

military karma, which actually carried out the attack on the vessel, and with hatred, which carried out the concentration of strategic russian bombers at the airfield, caused damage, because satellite images appeared that show that that in engels, you can say that part of the bombers there are further under the snow, this means that for up to two days, at least, the russians cleaned up the consequences of the strikes on engels , in any case, we can talk so far to confirm the data related to the death of at least three port engineers who were part of these bombers. and actually these two days were very important because the zone that this affected the fact that the russians had to postpone this missile operation with the use of bombers from the

engels airfield, but no, they mainly carry daggers, or are they, er, carriers, exactly, racket 101, each bomber carries eight of these missiles, but usually they release a smaller number, so if these missiles flew out, then we received, let's say, 70 missiles yesterday over ukraine. how many 60, well, about 70, as we wrote, but we could have received, for example, 95 or 100 missiles, which would be much more difficult, well, it would be much more difficult with such, well, on the one hand, yes, and on the other hand we are talking about the fact that, due to these actions, we are introducing dissonance into the planning of operations carried out by the russian federation, they are forced to postpone it. and by the way, the number of bombers has really significantly decreased at engels airfield, if there were around 20 or so a month ago there are only 11 bombers according to yesterday's pictures, that is, they are actually leaving this airfield trying to find safer places deep in the territory of the russian federation, because it is interesting when journalists asked dmytro peskov if

moscow is safe or if it is protected by air defense systems dmitri peskov who knows everything and i answer all the questions, usually with a sly bite , this time he said that i can forward you to professional e-e people to people who are responsible for those other directions, they you they will explain protected safe protected which shows that he himself does not know the sand and maybe he is asking himself a question, so we will not discuss it now but i think that while preparing for war, russia definitely did not think that the threat could reach moscow because we see here 730 km to sarat and from the border with ukraine to the city of sumy, because i know that from kyiv it is 800 km, but from sumy to sumy to moscow is 570 km, this means that the hatred embodied in the metal that flew to saratov, well, to engels , can absolutely fly to moscow in the same way true conclusion, but in any case, we understand that, first of all, we will use this iron embodied by him on military objects , observing the rules of warfare and

guaranteeing that these targets are dangerous in a military sense for the armed forces of ukraine. i think that in moscow, however there are also facilities such as the general staff of the ministry of defense or certain bases, which will also be possible after a certain time of the ukrainian , they have tanks there, and after a certain time they can be used as completely legitimate military purposes, but in any case, i think that we let's do something later, because until we solve the issue of blocking crimea, the liberation of kherson and zaporizhzhia oblast, and then i'm already thinking about plans. today oleksiy danilov, the secretary of the nsdc, said that ukraine will go where it needs to go if the question will be about its security. well, hinting that if necessary, ukraine can agree on the territory of russia. i think that it is on the territory of russia. ukraine will not enter, but in any case, such a signal is very good. i remember when, er, the tsar of moscow wrote bohdan khmelnytsky there with

some certain threats. well, khmelnytsky then had a huge army of more than 100,000 a year, then war from the day of the commonwealth of nations. khmelnytsky replied to the tsar that they will come to moscow and put you on the throne and moscow will be burned. i think about the same now ukraine should answer, realizing that it is no longer russia who should be in command. and we should too. well, they don't even cross the border, but just talk about the fact that it could happen, and then it stresses you out. you start to worry. i repeat, maybe crimea feels that the occupiers have to leave crimea. and as for the kursk and belohoroda regions, they are actually already digging trenches there, realizing that the situation can be completely in such a way that what they thought was absolutely not, not not a situation that is absolutely standard because it will change because it actually means that the enemy must feel a threat in the depth of his territory so that the combat capabilities are

balanced . so that we don't feel this discordance when er all federation can destroy all our territories and for some reason we er feel limitations so far we have overcome these limitations at the expense of and we understand er actually and incarnated er this metal of metal hatred but i think that the countries of the west should also think about how their hatred and their security can be realized to protect their own security through aid to ukraine, and now we will move to the very end to the country of white birches and grass zubrovka in belarus you and the president are impostors in belarus this week a rocket fell in belarus and lukashenko felt himself obviously on the other side as some great military leader, put on a military uniform cap and even held a meeting there and then summoned the ukrainian ambassador ukraine said that we are ready to join the investigation of what is it to you why the rocket fell, so it was an esterista, i don't remember, but how can you comment on it because it was a provocation in order to drag

belarus into the war, it didn't look like an accident, it could be similar, but what does it look like the most well, i think that it is probably that it is the consequences of the russian attack on the territory of ukraine with cruise missiles, it is necessary to investigate and find out whether it is a missile, but in any case, when we talk about belarus, the statements of our and the military and border guards and the head of bhutan's military development by law started our conversation by saying that belarus itself will have catastrophic consequences if it gets involved in hostilities on the to organize any offensives on the territory of ukraine, then in that period we will really use all our missiles to completely put an end to these efforts of the alliance of russia and belarus to do something in such a way that

they will feel those missiles for money to our interests much more strongly than the remains of the missile that e- e fell on the territory of belarus precisely after a missile attack by the russian federation. if it’s short, i congratulate the forecasts. it’s an ungrateful thing, but here we make predictions about the football match. we found it before the end of the war or whether will putin shoot himself or will he be shot? i would like such a forecast based on facts. i understood that tomorrow the new year will be celebrated in ukraine. we will meet next year. we believe that it will be the year of victory. an even larger-scale attack that is real today near our borders by the enemy. what could he do? i am not saying to spoil the holiday, because now our holiday will be a victory, but in principle, well, to alarm many people and to influence the situation in ukraine by some kind of unexpected military action from the border or belarus or russia, i don't think that for a month and a half the russians have no opportunity to resort to any large-scale actions

along the entire front line, neither from the north nor from the other for of the front now. they are trying to maximize what they have and carry out offensive actions on the surrounding bahmut . it will not happen and how very serhiy zgurets , director of the defense express agency, is the host of the daily military summaries column about the situation at the front, how it has changed in a week, thank you, thank you, i hope that next year will be much more optimistic and with greater chances for us to win a victory, which it's time to talk about what happened in the world. the world is about ukraine. yuriy fizer already has a banner.

today, nato is saying that ukraine needs much more weapons, because it is with these weapons that it can win back the lost, not yet lost, but temporarily occupied territories. serbia said that it managed to avoid an open conflict with nato, and in russia, the flames of this and the other in a moment in the world about ukraine column. well, i 'll start with this. ukraine received 45 billion dollars of financial aid from the united states of america, they are included in the us budget and one trillion 700 billion greenbacks, which tonight according to kyiv the current owner of the white house, joe biden, signed on his page on the micrologist network your and the american president called this financial support of ukraine crucial, american media reported that joe biden signed the budget while vacationing in the american

virgin islands, and the night before signature of an ordinary scheduled passenger plane in ukraine, it is necessary to give more weapons because it sounds paradoxical, and it seems to be the shortest way to peace about it said nato secretary general jens stoltenberg in an interview with the german news agency deutsche deutsche presa agentur. according to him, the victories of the ukrainian armed forces at the front clearly show moscow that it will not be able to achieve its goals in ukraine, and therefore will be forced to sit down at the negotiating table. of the atlantic alliance made it clear that shelling by ukrainian armed forces of military facilities on the territory of the aggressor country is absolutely legal. well, next is a quote from jens stoptenberg, every country has the right to self-defense, including ukraine

. in his opinion, it is impossible not only without russia, but also without a dialogue with it, moreover, the head of the austrian foreign ministry for some reason believes that it is necessary to put aside all emotions and objectively assess the situation because ignoring russia simply will not come to the mind of the minister. this country will not disappear from the world map and will remain europe's largest neighbor, but it is good that at the end of the interview, alexander shallenberg did admit that russia despises all un principles and at the moment to look for some points from it the collision does not happen, it was really good that he said it at the end, the serbians

seemed to have avoided an open conflict with nato, which could have become a real disaster for europe from the processes, said the country's president oleksandr vouchic today in his words, it refers to the situation in the northern part of the partially recognized kosovo, which serbia considers its sovereign territory , mr. president also said that all the barricades that the ethnic serbs set up in the north of the region have now been dismantled, but at the same time, the kosovar armed forces and their law enforcement officers have not left their positions and at the same time, according to oleksandr vuchich, already at the beginning of next year, he is expecting a western delegation that will try to convince him to recognize the independence of kosovo, the relationship between china and russia have become more mature, and their value has become even more apparent, the leader of the celestial empire, xi jinping, said today during a telephone conversation with the

president of the aggressor country, vladimir putin . salt and putin , moreover, he emphasized that there is no need to stop at this and that such special strategic relations should be expanded . putin also sang praises to the chinese leader. and he also asked for next spring to follow xi jinping to come on an official visit to moscow, whether the chinese leader agreed to it is not yet known, we will see, but the very fact of such a friendly conversation is personally alarming to me. washington should not sell modern weapons to taiwan with such a warning to the leadership of the united states of america . fairy , according to him, official beijing does not like that the usa is trying with all its might to restrain china using the taiwanese

trump and at the same time is going to sell on taiwan anti-tank mining systems of the volcano worth 180 million dollars, the representative of the ministry of foreign affairs of the heavenly kingdom emphasized that washington will in no way be able to prevent beijing from returning the rebellious island. in this way, the white house will only fuel and undermine peace and stability in the taiwan strait. panic in russia is more than half of russians. could not escape from this country not to the country they do not have before the new year before the new year's mood, however , the results of a survey conducted by one russian internet resource show that according to this by survey every second citizen of our northeastern region still, to the great regret of the neighbor, does not admit it in numbers, it looks like this 49% of respondents would say that they do not have a

new year's mood and do not even hide it from their relatives, at the same time there are more men than women who said this and another 10% of respondents said that they do not have a new year's mood, but imitate it, that is, in general, in russia, they are not happy for the new year. 50% of people here only want to ask them one thing. it would be wrong to finish without positive , pleasant information. of course , this will not work without burning. this time, someone carelessly smoked in an unspecified place in the russian rostov-on-don near the ukrainian border, according to the report of local means of russian means, it is not known what building caught fire they do not operate, there are no victims, but again, according to information from the media, 150 m² of the building burned down, the causes of the fire are still

being established, the fire was extinguished in a few hours, but considering the fact that it was engulfed in smoke the entire center of rostov-on-don kept something nice and busy inside. well, see you tomorrow in the big edition of the big ether, which will start differently than usual, it will start an hour before the new year. tomorrow i will already congratulate you on the new year . see you tomorrow and in happy new year and may this new year be healthy, calm, and most importantly peaceful for all of us, and the last for the russians. well, that's all. i have everything in the column about ukraine today, but there is still a lot of interesting stuff on our air, so don't switch the weltrum battery stations

designed specifically for military needs , airtight, shockproof, work in difficult weather conditions, these stations will significantly increase the combat capability of our defenders, the espresso tv channel, together with the forpot tua charity fund, launched a new fundraiser for the purchase of powerful portable battery stations with solar panels for our fighters , we will hand over the first five stations to 406th separate artillery brigade named after general oleksiy almazov, join the gathering, let's get closer to victory together, glory to ukraine, mykola september vitaly portnikov and the main topics of the week is if it is used against ukraine god forbid really tactical nuclear weapons will definitely change the world history problems analysis and personalities we are waiting for john gerbs, the

former ambassador to the united states in ukraine good afternoon thank you for the invitation if you have questions you will get answers so the question is how to understand september sports every friday at 21:30 most espresso good evening we from ukraine continue our broadcast thank you for that yuriy thank you very much yuriy fizor conversations of yevgeny magde, executive director of the institute of world politics, mr. yevhen, i congratulate you, i congratulate vasyl, good evening. glory to ukraine , glory to the heroes. in this conversation , you can feel the trends regarding the year that will come tomorrow, uh, 2023, and understand how

china will act further, because we understand how russia will act, but how china will act depends a lot on how russia will act, which the conclusions you drew for yourself from that conversation, russia longed for this conversation for a long time. well , medvedev flew there to deliver a personal message, but we see that the epidemic is actually a logical situation in china and well, i think the geopolitical situation in china is such that it does not foresee a personal meeting with putin ictv pin in the near future, i would not absolutize the conversation in the sense that it is not necessary to think that they talked on the phone and immediately in china decided, let's say, to provide russia with a range of weapons that russia lacks. i think that because there is no such thing, it will not happen but

at the same time, we must understand that china will not act in the western paradigm in relation to russia , that is, it can talk about its own interests , it can talk about being interested in, say, the cessation of hostilities in ukraine , but it will definitely not be the same wording as the leaders eu and the united states and great britain and canada and other states that support ukraine, that is, china, you know. he wants to be a smart monkey who watches the fight between the ukrainian wild horse and the russian bear and tries to although i have already repeated the thesis several times this year that the russian-ukrainian war

prevents china from becoming the number one economy and the chinese factor is taken into account . the russian-ukrainian war and this will cause the fact that under the urals will be under the direct or indirect control of the people's republic of china, the streets of china will receive a huge amount of natural resources, which they are enough they know how to use well, including using western investments, well, this is me talking about the paradoxical thinking of our westerners, and in this case they will allow china to become the number one economy in the world, this is despite the fact that the people's republic of china currently purchases almost the most russian oil in the world, and we purchased more russian oil is in principle there, well, the price is a separate issue. and the fact that china

is now trying to gain even more mass and weight at the expense of cheap russian energy carriers, well, that also remains a fact. and i i understand that it also plays a plus that they want to increase their economy and here i am now coming to the people's republic of china and the united states of america, and in china they said that they are against the united states transferring there the latest certain e- types of weapons on taiwan, because it can have a bad effect there and they warn against it, in your opinion. is it still possible that, despite the efforts of some exercises and violation of the airspace of ivaniv, it can resort to aggression? so far it is not considered by him and they are definitely not up to it, and also in view of the coronavirus horror that is happening in the sky, well, look at the trade turnover between china and the united states reaches somewhere around a trillion dollars, that is, the question arises whether he is ready

to sacrifice this trade turnover in order to annex the republic of china, i.e. taiwan, restore control over it well, not restore but ensure control i think it should be a very well i would say a well-calculated operation because the position of joseph biden and his it is difficult to call it a diastrub after all, it was in the summer of this year that we will defend taivar if necessary. congratulations, you remember, well, first of all, as a semiconductor manufacturer, as a country that is aesthetically important to the united states, the question arises whether to always forget in this sense. well, i think the events of the

russian-ukrainian council of education indirectly very much sobered up the leaders of the people's deputy of the armed forces from the fact that, well, this does not mean that they yes, let's now try again about typing p yevgeny, because i really want to hear his thoughts on this matter, but unfortunately the quality of communication does not allow us to do this to the full extent, so now we will wait and continue to talk about the chinese. is the united states of america or can taiwan be a new point of tension ? in the world, in particular in southeast asia, where it is actually located. this island for which china has its own appetites. taiwan has its own prospects and its own vision of the future. well, exactly, taiwan. taiwan as a very successful economy is a very

successful country with a good army, in fact, with with a huge gross domestic product per capita with control of the semiconductor market, and i think that they do not want to be part of the control of a country that today violates people's rights, that professes communist ideology and tries to implement all kinds of ideology in the lives of ordinary people. in the economy. in other things, let's not forget that china keeps in prisons a lot of people who have a different opinion. they are not necessarily criminals , but to a greater extent they are not criminals. they have opinions are different, china's views are different, china is a very influential and powerful country, that's why many people turn a blind eye to many things, but this is a country that persecutes christians, it does not persecute representatives of those religions that , say, do not coincide with the vision of the chinese communist

party . scientists are persecuted by philosophers are persecuted by many people who, again, do not fit into these communist frameworks, that is why it is a dictatorship, it is basically the same thing what happened to the soviet union from 1922 to today by the way, december 30 and the current russia today, by the way, on december 30, exactly 100 years ago, on december 30, 19 of the second year, the union of soviet socialist republics was created, so then it actually included not 15 republics, as they called the 15 republics of the 15 sisters, then the russian federation was included then the belarusians included ukraine and included the so-called er-e caucasian er-e republic, which included georgia, azerbaijan and armenia. well, there, on different er bases, on different bases , these er-e transcarpathian republics were included. they were called the transcaucasian soviet socialist republic. well, the ukrainian soviet socialist republic and that's how it was . that's when

the union of soviet socialist republics was created. then the countries of central asia joined. the annexation of the country of estonia by lithuania and latvia, then moldova there, too, after the war well, actually, by seizing part of western ukraine and creating an otaku some time ago, the second world war and after the end the soviet union, in principle, appeared in the form in which we knew it before its collapse in 1991, so today is such a significant date , and by the way, many people said that the soviet union putin will try to recreate or resurrect or reanimate it better precisely before the century of its creation, as we can see 100 years have passed today since the creation of this germ of the ussr, which then grew and grew and grew well, but we see that the russian troops who tried to swallow ukraine and precisely from ukraine belarus and russia well, maybe partially that they wanted to join some other states there, especially in the caucasus. but i think

that they are definitely going there now. well, they wanted these three nations to start reproducing the great soviet union. we see that russian troops remain in part of the kherson region, occupied crimea, and part of zaporizhzhya oblast in this part of donetsk oblast, part of luhansk oblast , and also 28 settlements of kharkiv oblast are still under the control of the enemy; good broken teeth er russia for these er more than 300 days of war before the centenary date, putin did not succeed in anything. but again, he did not succeed precisely because we , first of all, have the armed forces of ukraine who fought who continue to give battle and drive the enemy from our land, to withstand his frantic pressure in certain directions and to continue this war thanks to our citizens thanks to volunteers thanks to those who care about everyone who joins and works from e-e viba
