its value increased if there in the 21st year it cost a maximum of $2,000 for one and a half, per unit and it is certainly not active active we and you are of course a standard artillery projectile in the caliber of 155 km who now its price has risen to €300 per unit if you take the last the contract with rain metalone is here in a different aspect, that is, most likely. it is about the supply of projectiles that is now there and will continue at the same pace, and the allies are giving it, in my opinion, they can provide it, and there may be an opportunity here because first of all, the ukrainian army already has astronomical experience, when the projectiles are at least few, and secondly, the artillery control system is established, the key is always automated systems, when the information is from the same reconnaissance drones or counter-battery radars in the online mode, it is necessary to means of destruction, this

increases the effectiveness of the perches many times, the presence of high-precision ammunition in the same escalations of the bores and for understanding one of the cales of the bores if we take such a target as a suitable base point performs the work of several hundred of ordinary projectiles, i.e. to destroy all objects at a consolidated base, usually three to 5 sklibors are spent and it can be considered destruction or visible from a combat-ready state, i.e. consumption e-e. that is, you are an ecological weapon that allows you to save projectiles and ukraine keeps them at the same rates in a fairly significant amount, and even if we are already talking about large numbers, the artillery business is precisely the mathematics of large numbers, so for understanding, 115 mm ammunition from the base is 10% more than soviet articles with 2 mm and the second aspect the manufacturing quality of western sneb ammunition is many times higher, in particular, the fragmentation and

killing power of the western statistics of five-millimeter ammunition due to the higher-quality combat part, that is, our combat elements are about 1.5-2 times better than the soviet samples. moreover, ukraine already has many official statements and these photos, which are uh, they were adjusting the production of their own ammunition, this is also a positive aspect , that is, can we say that somewhere in march we can reach a certain parity in the use of russian ammunition, you can say side and from the ukrainian side, if you say that the peak indicators of our costs there are 14 rounds of 1,000 shots per day, and the russians’ indicators will decrease to the bottom compared to there 20 ammunition, which is now about a third, in march we will have a certain parity, so it turns out well, parity in the number of shots, but in my opinion, in the armed forces of ukraine, the effectiveness of artillery fire will be many times higher due to the fact that the ukrainian artillery in

the ammunition economy mode has been working in parallel for years. thank you for these comments to our i would like to remind viewers that the film express was oleg katkov, a military expert and editor-in-chief of defense-express. so, the main conclusions can be drawn that everything being equal, we proceed from the fact that further hostilities will depend on the amount of ammunition in the armed forces of ukraine and the enemy on how quickly and how well we will prepare reserves for further combat operations and how clearly we will choose the directions of our further offensive actions to knock the enemy out of our territory considering that the enemy is conducting mobilizations will also try to carry out offensive actions in t- also in the interval of two or three nearest places. what was said by the commander of the armed forces, valery zaluzhny. therefore , we expect certain dynamics at the level of the front, which is primarily based on the potential of the defense complexes of the united states of europe, which will provide supplies or gaps to

of the armed forces of ukraine so these were the main military results of this day, and more international and economic news later from my colleagues on the espresso channel, thank you to dorogrtsov, thank you to his guests for their professional comments, i am here i will add a few more news, and today they already talked about it, at least they quoted this general, general ben-hodges and the former commander of nato forces in europe said that ukraine can liberate. well, he said so. ukraine will liberate crimea by the end of august 2023. well, here you can believe it or not and on the other hand, i perfectly understand that such a general says what should be said right now, on the one hand, it is clear that such a possibility exists, on the other hand, it is necessary to talk about it as much and as often as possible from different platforms and to different people and the military and politicians, political scientists, experts, public figures, so that in europe, in the united states of america, and in russia, too,

they put up with the idea that crimea would return to ukraine, just as they had been talking for a long time about kherson becoming ukrainian again, and he was simply ukrainian he was occupied, and when in russia they shouted hoyda on the red square and talked about what they changed in the constitution, that now kherson is a part of the zaporizhia region and everything that they stole here and temporarily cut off from ukraine, it is now in the members of the russian federation in ukraine spoke, especially the command of the armed forces of ukraine, and in the politics of the verkhovna rada, they spoke about the fact that no, kherson is ukraine, and when kherson became free again and the occupiers quickly left, everyone accepted it as normal under the fire of the ukrainian army. nothing happened, the nuclear bombs did not fall although we were frightened by this, the constitution of russia. well, as it was, it remained simply funny, and a book that everyone writes what he wants. kherson continues to live life as part of ukraine, as he lived before the occupation, well, only that now the enemy is constantly trying to take revenge on kherson and is shelling the residential

premises of the market hospital as much as he can and still sees a-a but at the same time he received an answer from the armed forces of ukraine, so it is the same with crimea that we must talk about this and the fact that we start this year by talking about the fact that crimea will be ukrainian, that's good. and that 's what the president should talk about in his address. by the way, in his new year's address, he said that ukraine should return to the borders of 1991 together with crimea. and about what in the world the world was happening to me about ukraine yuriy fizar is ready to join the airwaves yuriy good evening please good evening to you vasyl and everyone who joined our airwaves first of all i congratulate everyone on the new year 2023 may it become a victorious year for all of us well and now to the international today from the middle i will tell you about something else, the war in ukraine can be long, they say in nato, in the vatican, they say goodbye to pope benedict xvi. well, what kim jong-un gave his daughter for the new year, about this and other things in a moment in the world section

the european union will continue to support the heroic struggle of the ukrainian people against russian aggression and against this brutal aggression, european commission president ursula von der leyenska said during a telephone conversation with volodymyr zelensky later on her page on the microblogging network twitter. assured us that the united europe will help us as much as it is needed, in general, and each individual member country, in particular, sends to ukraine generators, buses, tents and many of another well, brussels is also beginning to allocate 18 billion euros of financial aid to ukraine, which will help to survive this difficult winter and endure until our complete victory over the

russian invaders. to be ready for this , nato secretary general jenstotenberg said in an interview with the british bbc, he emphasized that, unfortunately, the kremlin leadership does not show any intention to refuse to fulfill the putin's aggressive goals in ukraine, and even more intelligence data indicates that the russian military and political leadership may be preparing for a new offensive. therefore, according to mr. stovtenberg, it is natural to talk about peace negotiations between ukraine and russia, but in the future they may be quite real, but before of them, ukraine must show achievements on the battlefield, and the west must continue to provide kyiv with all the necessary military and financial assistance. well, we will wait for this help, and we thank you for what we have but in israel, to

our great regret, they will talk less about what is happening in ukraine. such a statement was made by the newly appointed minister of foreign affairs of ukraine elikon during the inauguration ceremony of the head of the foreign policy department in the new government of minyamin netanyahu. he told the public today about what is happening in ukraine will definitely become less although mr. cohen did not explain why, he added that his department plans to prepare a detailed report for the government on the situation in our country in order to then work out how he called this quote responsible politics well, but again he did not explain what he meant well, at the same time, eli cohen assured that the government of the jewish state will in any case continue to provide humanitarian aid to ukraine. this is a statement that i personally do not really understand. china wants to improve relations with the united by the states of america this statement was made by the new

minister of foreign affairs of the heavenly value han, who was appointed to this position. only a few days ago, on december 30, he said this during a telephone conversation with the state by us secretary anthony blinkin, according to the head of the chinese foreign ministry, beijing is ready to continue to maintain close relations with washington and to continue to develop and improve bilateral relations between the countries. this qin gang held several positions in the diplomatic service of the heavenly kingdom, in particular he served as the ambassador of the people's republic of china to the united states of america, and the president of south korea is not against to meet with the leader of the north's neighbor, kim jong-un, but such talks should not take place just for the sake of the talks themselves , they should bring practical results

about it yuksok yun sokyul - said in an interview to a south korean publication, according to him , to refuse the possibility of meeting with the militant leader of the korean democratic people's republic of korea is not worth it, but the people, according to him, are already fed up with show negotiations at the highest level . mr. president said that first it is necessary to agree on several important humanitarian issues and thus lay the groundwork for the meeting. well, then hold the meeting itself . in his opinion, only the same one will be useful for both parts of the korean peninsula, which are still divided. well, the odious president of venezuela, nicolas maduro, wanted to improve relations with the united states of america, at least he said that he was not against such a statement he made during an interview, according to

him, official caracas is even ready for a dialogue at the highest level, well, for this in washington must also show readiness , as he said quote, turn the page and show a desire to build pragmatic relations with venezuela, this is the end of the quote, i will remind you that relations between washington and caracas deteriorated sharply in 2019, then the administration of president donald trump recognized the interim transitional government of venezuela led by juan guaidó ucaracasi saw this as a hostile step and even severed diplomatic relations with washington. well , the vatican began farewell to the previous by pope benedict xvi, it takes place in st. peter's basilica and will last until january 5th. on this day , the current head of the roman catholic church, francis, will hold a funeral. they

plan to visit them, and the burial of about 60,000 believers is meant. let me remind you that benedict 16 -he passed from earthly life to eternity on december 31. before that, he was seriously ill and spent the last five years in the monastery, where he went after leaving the papal post due to health reasons in the event of a successful landing of the taikonauts. well, so called chinese astronauts, china can claim the right to own a certain territory on the natural satellite of the earth, this was stated by the head of nasa, that is, the us national aerospace agency, bill nelsen, in an interview with the politik publication, and at the same time, it will be the richest in minerals in the territory of the united states according to his words should make every effort to prevent beijing from realizing such a possible life scenario, according to mr. nelson, the space race is currently underway in the world

and in it, the chinese have achieved small gains, and therefore, in view of this, everything they have done, their landing on the moon, as well as the establishment of a space station there, looks quite real . well, i wonder if it will really happen. can a father do for me please for his beloved daughter and any i mean for the new year and any but no matter what you do you still do not compare to one man who lives far away from us in north korea the most closed country in the world for some reason thought that on new year's it would be best to give his child an excursion to a warehouse with ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads over a long distance, it was even reported on the air of the central television of the dprk and even showed a few photos , a caring father showed his daughter not

only missiles but also launchers for them well, before that, a few days ago, during a speech at the captives of the country's ruling labor party, kim jong-un called for the strengthening of north korea's defense capabilities and for an even greater increasing the pace of nuclear weapons production. do you think my daughter liked the excursion? i don't know. well, if he is preparing her for the fact that she may one day in the future occupy his position, then maybe she liked it, but i don't know . is starting to prepare for tomorrow's broadcast so that tomorrow you will know even more about what is happening in the world, but don't switch now, because you remember that we still have a lot of interesting things,

you all found a working store in three letters closed, there is no light for me, please here this a lucky bouquet it doesn’t go away in our country. that’s how the generator on the street hums. ukrainian veterans’ background money, the fund helps veteran enterprises, i wonder what is needed for this, but only fop and ubd, for example , my husband and i have a family business, they give it up to 20 thousand hryvnias, i understand thank you very much for the bouquet of support for the ukrainian veteran business. find out the details on the website or by phone.

in touch with the eyes of gran, professor of political science at the kyiv-mohyla academy, scientific director of the democratic initiatives fund, oleksiy. i am glad to see you in the new year 2023. happy new year. democratic initiatives were carried out by the foundation from december 13 to 21. last year it is called the results 20-22 under the blue-yellow flag of freedom and there are many questions to which people gave different answers question i would like you to give a general assessment of this survey well, then we will talk specifically about certain questions and certain answers, please well, you know that now surveys are conducted by various methods, there are telephone surveys, we conducted a face-to-face survey it goes to the face, and that has its own peculiarities of the survey well,

but if the data match, then this obviously confirms the correctness of the methods and assessments, i think that our survey as a whole is the one that we conducted together with the sociological service i traveled to the calculation center, it showed uh, in my body, i would say positive results and these trends that were fixed were fixed. during this year, and not only by us, but by other sociological centers , ukrainians are prepared for victory and ukrainians are ready to fight. then i think that i, specifically , i. i am ready to stop now on those questions, let's say, and uh, i was most interested in some of the questions that we drew deliberately provocative and got positive results, but i think that you will ask me something and then i will

answer well, now let's go to the provocative media, er, i'll start with er, with the fact that this survey actually begins, what events inspired ukrainians the most, motivated them to move forward in 2022, in fact, this question is important because, you know, we moved , we lived, and what the most inspiring somehow about this and i didn’t think about it, of course, here, er, 14% write about the armed forces of ukraine, hope for victory , faith in the future, nothing less inspired as much as 11%, but the most inspiring was family, relatives and love, uh, well, it’s more philosophical here the question why exactly this inspired the ukrainians well, but we see something like this, we were in the 22nd year, and this is exactly it, please. i think that we are the question of the zsu, hope for victory and faith in the future, we can unite, that is, 14 + 11 + 7 and this 32% already turns out, yes, that is, there is our circle

that supports us, we support each other 30%, there is 32% - this is faith in the future of the country in, again, in our armed forces and we also take part here, in fact, because well, now i don't know who is helping the fruit or if they are helping in one way or another. and now i will leave to the question, it was about the victory . now, just a second, and i can't find it now, i wouldn't like to ask about what is about the attitude to the decision, well, vlad's decision is clear that it is caused by the fact that there is a certain consensus in society regarding the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate, which should be called the moscow church or the russian church, or should it be called that because that is the right way to call it well, but what is important here is what representatives of the orthodox church of ukraine which is headed by metropolitan epiphany 88%

support the decision of the president of ukraine to impose sanctions on the higher clergy of the ukrainian orthodox church, they are just christians, here there are just christians, 67% are those who support, well, it could be protestants , baptists, there, uh, charismatics, pentecostals, it doesn't matter, uh, also greek -catholics are roman catholics, and among the representatives is a parishioner of the ukrainian orthodox church, which is currently headed by metropolitan onufriy, but still 30% for supporting such a decision of the president. by the way, i will remind that the representatives this church is like this today. wasn't it yesterday that they were finally allowed into the kiev-pechersk lavra into separate temples? they were sitting in the lower lavra and the upper lavra. they weren't allowed to enter. here are the sanctions. here's the decision. do you think it's too much or too little? i think you understand this a lot because these are believers of the moscow patriarchate and 30%, they support sanctions

against their own leadership. i think this is a very good number and it is well, it is obvious that it is less than the orthodox church of ukraine or other concessions, but this a high number is experienced about what the believers understand inside that church and that part of the option - you understand it like that and that is, it speaks of the perspective that there will be a further ixik. i think to the orthodox church of ukraine and er there will be internal processes within this moscow patriarchate as well and that is an important issue it is very shows well what the ukrainians came out of the year 22 with and what they are entering the year 2023 with, well, what exactly did we enter the day before yesterday, and here is the question: what feelings do you have when you think

about your future and about the future of ukraine, and here the most that ukrainians feel is hope . 54% have hope for their future and 60% have hope for the future of ukraine. optimism , 36% and 40% worry a little less. 33% worry about their future. anxiety about the future of ukraine, by the way, less anxiety. well, we see that and hope more when they talk about the future of ukraine and there is less anxiety about the future of ukraine, but more ukrainians accept their future and less hope in them is connected with their future, fear 14%, 9%, well, get over there, pessimism, there is no way out, there are six and five uh, that's 6,4,5 and 4, well, much less than hope and optimism. please tell me, are these variables, in your opinion, uh, stable or do they change from event to event, because in principle, if we talk about the end of the year but this is a certain long period of time, and we can see that people. well, to a greater extent, more than

half have hope and optimism about the future and their own and the state. emotions they are constantly in the leader and with exactly such results that at this point, there is hope for a second optimism and then there is anxiety. well, i think that this is again understandable because, well, now, now, by the way, it is clear that confidence has increased a little, but in principle, if we are talking about well, the mood is obvious that we also feel hope, but i found that there is anxiety among us, because for all those bombings, new year's eve, by the way, what i want is so much putin and the russians, they are so

organic and, well, they just discredit themselves even in the eyes of the international community, you understand if they are at half past one at night on new year's eve, they start shelling, well , what does this indicate? that is, we know that this morning is no good for anything, yes, and for the world, this is also a show - you understand, this is the connection to these symbolic dates, they were shelling us on christmas 25 of the canonical during the new that is, it actually shows that lonely er lack of russia what kind of politicians and on and we have and we have hope and optimist prevails so that's why i well, also all the results they are they are reliable and activist and so and now the survey on the

question the results of this survey somewhat me i'm surprised, i'll put it mildly. and now we'll hear what you think about this matter. what option to guarantee ukraine's national security after russian aggression do you consider to be the best here ? without the cooperation of america, out of the bloc, neutral status, er, such a purple color. well, green is there, now i will see the development of our own armed forces, well, the development of our own armed forces, cooperation and defense alliances have not been canceled, but here, er, in the west of ukraine almost 70% for nato in the center, 52% for nato in the south, 31% in the east of ukraine, more than 39%. well , the development of its own armed forces and the defense industry has the greatest destiny there. according to the example of israel or switzerland, not switzerland , it is a little easier to be there between germany,

italy and austria . figures regarding nato i don't think there is any disappointment but i think that for us the key figure here is that you understand that we specifically gave different options many variants of options, yes, that is, because well, one way or another, they are being discussed, and uh, especially. you see, we emphasized that i would be a non-aligned entity, the status of international security, guarantees for ukraine, this is what was put forward. well, when the russian aggression began and the situation was uncertain, this is what they tried to us and our leadership began to talk about it more or less like that, but very quickly, well, the lights of the victories of the ukrainian army stopped talking about it.

safe as it is safe safe framework i would say so it constantly emphasizes this document which is signed by rammusel and yermak that it does not rule out on the contrary it foresees joining nato from what we got i think the key figure is the drop in support for non- alignment the south says 13 percent and the east says 17 percent. well, listen , let's remember that once it prevailed in ukraine in general, and then it started to fall, but this position was quite influential, and now we see that it has fallen yes, there are various options, yes, uh, and joining nato, and again, the list is, let’s say, a relic of

the simpler classes , they also support defense cooperation with the usa, yes, yes, without the usa, poland, and let’s say, the big question, a lot of people are talking about it now, well, again, hardly is it nato and the defense code from the usa yes, but they are also talking about it and the non-aligned status well, it fell a lot, so i think it is positive , including in the south, we see it by the way, our executive director petro burkovsky and the editors of the truth is that they just put the emphasis on articles where the emphasis is on the fact that the southeast is right here in our south and the east is changing. and this is very important in relation to european integration and in relation to provocative questions . of ukraine's accession to the

european union, a record share of ukrainians supports accession to the eu 79% accession to the european union is supported by the absolute majority of respondents, regardless of age, region of residence, level of education do i have a new state, in addition, 60% of respondents believe that the ukrainian government should fulfill all the requirements of the european institutions, that it will be able to speed up ukraine's accession to the european union , 19% disagree with this statement, and another 21% of the respondents could not decide on their position on this issue, we don't have much time, but i want please comment. i am very quick then it means that people agree with the fact that if it is for the sake of joining the pe forms of ukraine, then let the european union squeeze our leadership and i think this is just a very positive result, yes. now i would like to say about two provocative questions that we asked one question and what will happen if
