of the market of ukraine on the way to our defense colleagues talked with political scientist volodymyr fesenko strengthen the borders of ukraine with drones join the meeting of the border guard political scientist volodymyr pasenko continues to join our broadcast p volodymyr congratulations i would like to start with an address because it is a greeting it is probably inappropriate to call this an address of president zelenskyi to the nation about the year that has passed and the expectations of the 23rd year, and here it is important in the context to also note that our partners also spoke about ukraine in his greetings to his people what do

you think this means in the political context for our country and in general for perhaps our region or indeed for the world now these are the times that we will discuss not the form but the content of the new year's address of our president greetings of our president and indeed this is the address of the wartime address. perhaps it coincided so symbolically that a few days before the new year there was an address of the president of ukraine to the verkhovna rada. but in this address he addressed not only the parliamentarians, but it is a constitutional obligation this is such an annual political message with an assessment of the situation in the current year and the key goals and tasks for the next year eh, but it was an appeal to ukrainians, but still it is such i would say a purely political event, and eh, it is really real the address to the ukrainians

was indeed during the new year and uh, it's not her, on the one hand, the analysis of the wartime , the president mentioned all the tragedies , the problems of the past year, the most tragic year for ukrainians, but it was a thing, it was a year and with an optimistic tone with nadia on our victory, and i would say inspiration for victory, that was the most important thing, i know many people liked this address precisely because of this uh, correct tonality of tonality, where there was a mention of problems and tragedies, and at the same time, it was uh, i would say recalling the classics of the past , this was optimism in this, and this optimism should inspire, but at the same time, realistic,

rational optimism, according to estimates related to the longevity of the struggle and the liberation of the occupied territories after the end of the war. this is realism, it is present in in the opinion of our partners, it is very good that during the new year's greetings, many of our partners abroad mentioned ukraine, we are now one of the main world events to support ukraine, it is necessary to continue to support us for a long time, this opinion is present in these appeals and in my opinion, realism and optimism are also present here at the same time, there is a long struggle, but it is precisely about this.

i am convinced that everyone has one wish for the holidays for everyone, so this is not just a slogan . we see what was mentioned there, and the fireworks were in our national colors, yes, poland. well , in general, i don’t think i need to explain anything. but is this a message from the leaders of their countries to their people that the struggle continues, we are ready to support ukraine in the future because the goal we have one - this the defeat of the russian federation in different terms, but in different countries of the world ukraine was mentioned in new year's messages, uh, in interviews, in political statements during the new

year . it was just a testimony that what is happening in ukraine now, the fight against the russian invasion, it concerns not only ukraine, the victory of ukraine is actually the victory of different countries, conditional from finland to the united states, from japan to australia in different countries in different ways, not only politicians mentioned and not only statesmen, but the main thing is that the victory of the civilized world, the victory of democracy is associated with the victory of ukraine, and it is also important for us. he also mentioned ukraine and also promised to support ukraine in the future. the main thing is that they are ready to support us so that we defend not

only our interests, not only the independence of ukraine, but also the need to overcome challenges from the authoritarian regime and challenges from the side of territorial regimes, we are now actually fighting for the future of the entire civilized democratic world, and this world is ready to support us in the future . even after 2014, and so they declared their support, but still we worked, well, in particular, countries and states turned to them, and now we see that ukraine is leading such offensive actions in the foreign arena can be said like this, in the year that passed in 2022, i constantly noted that it was precisely in foreign

policy that ukraine demonstrated its leadership in offensive foreign policies , you know, before it was such a common place to criticize ukraine, to say that we are not a subject the object of world politics, that we are ruled by russia, that's what came out of it, if you read russian propagandists, it's well, what about ukraine, everything is decided in washington in brussels . all, but some sometimes say about the need for negotiations there, some in europe say about negotiations, but kyiv does not even in moscow recognize the subjectivity of ukrainian foreign policy, the subjectivity of ukraine, it is very good that the world publications now define ukraine as the country of the world of our president -e the face of 2022 and literally today i read

an interview of one of the leaders of the prominent edition of the icon of the city, where he precisely notes that ukraine during this war turned into one of the main subjects of the world politicians, and this is thanks to the offensiveness of our foreign policy, when we don't wait for someone to decide something for us, no , ukraine itself contributed to the creation of large, powerful international coalitions to support us, coalitions that provide us with weapons and economic support, then the ukrainian army was promoted because we are now respected all over the world, even the enemies respect it, and it is ukraine that actually determines the future of the world and what will be the international order in this world, because, again, we are not they decide for us and we decide what

the world order is, so in summing up, ukraine will continue to be in trend in the 23rd year of fatigue from the ukrainian question, as the russian media often tries to formulate it . appeared in europe as well, but it is obvious that there can be no fatigue from war, this future is not only our future of europe, the future of the democratic world , and ah , ukrainians do not let themselves get tired. some others in the capitals of the world there, in particular, even in the west no, we are breaking all the scenarios, so i am optimistic in this sense, yes, the war may drag on, but the ukrainians are breaking all these calculations. i don’t know there on different tarot cards, or there, er,

astrological scenarios, scenarios of military and political analysts no now the fate is being decided on the battlefields and the ukrainians have proved that last year, by liberating more than half of the territories that the russians bought after february 24, they proved that it is possible to decide the fate of the war, the political fate of the its benefit thanks to the courage of our people and the skillful, very effective actions of our army, this is the main weight of optimism that works, and i think that it is this that will make us tired and will work for the interests of our country and in 2023 , let it be so, volodymyr, thank you volodymyr fesenko, a political scientist, was with us to strengthen the borders of ukraine with drones. join the gathering of border guards at

3:40. next, we will share brief news about the attacks that russia has been carrying out in recent days from one direction on the eastern coast of azov . this was reported by yuriy hnat, the spokesman of the air force. he noted that the percentage of downed enemy drones is growing. in addition to shelling, the enemy is also trying to conduct aerial reconnaissance by orlan 10 unmanned aerial vehicles to detect the positions of ukrainian air defenses. in the past two days , four such drones have been destroyed. i will remind you on the night of january 2 russia carried out another air attack on ukraine, our military managed to shoot down 39 enemy drones, russia has almost exhausted its missile reserves, therefore moscow is reducing the number of missiles attacks and their intensity are exclusively about this telethon, the only news was told by the head of intelligence of the ministry of defense of ukraine, kyrylo budanov, according to him, the enemy also has a shortage of ammunition in the city, or as they say

. on mondays, once for seven days, then it was once for 10 days, now once for 14-15 days, that is, they constantly increase the period and reduce the number of missiles in one volley in order to keep, well, this situation, which supposedly we can do something there can cause ukraine to liberate crimea from russian occupation by the fall, the former commander of the us army in europe , retired general ben hodges, made such a prediction on his twitter account. he wrote that if partners continue to support ukraine and provide the promised aid and maintain sanctions against russia, then ukraine will liberate crimea by the end of august or even faster if the west provides us with high-precision weapons with a longer range, 2023 is the year of restarting relations with the entire african

continent, this is stated in the statement of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine the priority in this direction was set by the president of ukraine even last year, since february 22, zelenskyi had 18 conversations with african leaders, nine of which , for the first time in the history of bilateral relations, ukraine was also visited by the president of guinea-bissau and the current head of the economic community of west african states umaru m -ballo of ukraine in the future plans to effectively interact with african capitals in this connection , the opening of a number of new embassies is planned, the ministry of foreign affairs noted that ukraine's membership in the european union will be discussed at the february 3 summit ukraine eu will be held in kyiv this year, the head of the eu representation in ukraine , mati-masikas, said in an interview with ukrinform. at the same time, he noted that the eu expansion policy continues to be a geostrategic

investment in the security of europe. in brussels, however, they decided to postpone the event, now it will take place this year in kyiv, the reconstruction and modernization of ukraine after the war, and what they have started working on now, while the war continues, according to preliminary estimates, this will require several hundred billion dollars, but part of it has already begun to be restored, this is the fast recovery plan, the deputy head of the office of the president of ukraine kyrylo tymoshenko told about it in an exclusive interview of the telethon, the only news. and gas, and most importantly we want it to be implemented right now. because we understand that if all the funds for the fast recovery plan are available, it can be done in a year to restore all

these objects, it is estimated at about 17 billion dollars, and in fact we will be able to restore all housing and all critical objects like kindergarten schools there and so on agrarian and land policy. dmytro solomchuk, according to him, ukrainian products are enough for consumption . even new year's the table and in general what ukrainians have been consuming lately, the fate of ukrainian production has increased very much, it is ukrainian products that are the emperor and this is the most important subvention of our agrarians, so consume ukrainian funds directly go to the village

, information about the availability of medicines will now be more accessible, ukrainians will be able to monitor the availability of drugs with the help of a new system and the stock there will be tracked information about the needs, delivery, availability of drugs in hospitals, their use and disposal, the conditions can be announced that directly for patients, the launch of this system means the availability of information about medicines, from now on, health care institutions will submit needs for medical products for the 23rd year through istok, the ministry informs dear ukrainians, we will welcome this new year differently, but we have something to be proud of, we are united like never before and give a worthy rebuff to the enemy, we showed what courage this is new year's eve many families will not be together but no one will be left alone because today there are no foreign ukrainians

it hurts us to remember the events of the year but now we we know what ukrainians are capable of, steel people with warm hearts, to have a future, but our faith in ukraine is unbreakable, together we will overcome any challenges and obstacles, do not be frightened by the darkness and coldly give each other your attention and support, today the main thing is not the glow of garlands, but the light that we carry in in the new year, we will do everything to make our common home comfortable again, we will not get tired because our people are a source

of powerful energy, the only news is with you 24/7 every day, we are approaching victory together with an unbreakable new year, wherever we are, we have one a wish for everyone, a victory for ukraine for the holidays, one wish for a victory. this is a story about an indomitable steel will and character tempered in a sacred fire. this is my story, a cold sweat that remains alive in the soul that was born. the free history of my earth is waiting for a new destiny of an indomitable country, metal in my hands and in the bodies of my enemies in the voice that promises us victory together we make this world stronger ukrainians nation of steel people for the

holidays one wish victory do you have t2 reception today your tuner does not receive all ukrainian channels for tuning reception channels on the tuner or tv remote control press the menu button enter the settings menu select the auto search item scan and press the ok button to save the search results on the air , maxim, our congratulations to you. i congratulate you, mr. maxim , despite the terrorist attacks of the russian federation, what kind of things did it arrange on new year 's eve, our energy system of the power grid

they survived, however, and let's talk about their current state, how many percent have already been restored and what work is ahead, also because herman glushchenko, the profile minister, stated that the situation remains difficult anyway. because the attacks have continued in us since the beginning of october, there have already been them quite a lot and we have a quite significantly damaged structure between regional transmissions and, in principle, the generation is also damaged a lot in many places, therefore, at the moment, ukrenergo is restoring the operation of the energy system, and work is also being carried out the operator of distribution systems, the so-called oblenergo , and private operators, such as detek, and this morning we still had a capacity deficit, although less than in previous periods, ukrenergo currently plans to withdraw from

the schedule of emergency shutdowns, which are now up to... outages that should be predictable. we hope that they will succeed in this in the near future. well, they partially succeed. yes, we see that on christmas and new year, the majority of ukrainians were without electricity, that is, the situation is difficult but not critical, a blackout did not happen , experts and government officials have repeatedly spoken about this, and the russians will continue to try to cause the damage they whether they want to or not, or here they can already give up their

goals if they, uh, um, rationally approached this issue, then they didn't do it, did you do this energy terror, because as there, for example, it was recently published in this logical survey which it is the international center for the sociology of kmist, and it shows that the willingness of ukrainians to give up territories in exchange for peace has decreased, not increased, that is, terror does not achieve its goal, the population is not afraid, it feels anger and fear of the occupiers and is not going to give up territory in exchange for him to end it, that's why this activity is not logical, it is not only harmful, but it does not bring russia any benefit, but unfortunately, if they thought only about the benefit and not about their own illusions about ukraine, they would not

have started this war. well, it is a pity to predict that because of the futility of these shellings, they can end them, you can hope, but it seems too mystical to me, maxim. and if we talk about energy and renewable energy again our sources are the largest such alternative sources, they are located in the south, there is a solar wind station, is it possible to spread them across the territory of the country? unfortunately, it is precisely in the south that we have concentrated both wind and solar stations, well, this is logical because there is more wind, cheaper land and more sunny days in a year a-a in the south , measures er-e in the north and west are much less a-a m-m power and wind solar

power . there are many projects of small hydropower plants , especially in the western region, where there is a mountainous area, and this can make sense. it also needs and will be dispersed. i am currently working on a commission on changes to the financing of green energy and the repayment of debts to it in order to be in the future. more solar and wind on large stations throughout the country and also now eh according to the energy processing eh prospects of purchasing small eh gas turbines are for large modules the size of an ordinary forty-foot sea container a-a which make electricity from gas and in in principle, each

such facility is not of small capacity, there is 20 mw, but many of them can make it. well, there are 15 such containers, it is like a block of thermal power plants. that is, they can be very easily assembled. however, they are expensive. now they are being processed. financial opportunities to attract finance for the purchase of such decentralized sources of electricity, that is, the work is ongoing, but unfortunately it needs money and will take time, that is, what you have just said, this is exactly what will happen, and there will be such a conditional decentralization of the energy system of ukraine, because the problem, for example, is providing kyiv with electricity because it's big, we do n't have generation nearby, even though it's a millionaire city, and if we take the whole megapolis, like other settlements around kyiv, the consumption

is extremely high, but we take it. well as far as i understand from different regions, there isn’t something somewhere in er, near well, as chernobyl was planned in soviet times, it can solve the problem of the capital, that’s how small gas turbines are. well, not only them, but a comprehensive approach and the involvement of other technologies. well, the fact is that er, in ukraine there is a single energy system from all regions. it is one, so it cannot be said that some city that is close to some energy source is powered by this energy source, er, electricity is consumed everywhere evenly on the same the same frequency of 50 hz ago. of course, during the soviet union, it was opposed that the capital would be chernobyl eu. however, i think that the sky is modern, it is unlikely to work, so even now

kyiv receives electricity from a single power grid, and the closest objects to us are western nuclear power plants, i.e. riva and khmelnytskyi thermal power plant and the trypilska thermal power plant, and there are also several thermal power plants in the city, but they are much smaller and of lower power, and they are partly because of balance sheets, and in the fact that jesus is fed from various sources, he researched them and in kyiv has several lines of powerful electric power from different regions. therefore, it is very good, but for further decentralization , in order to ensure such large objects, this is such a large place, it will be necessary to invest in new sources of decentralized energy, and i think that this will be done over time. but for that, it is necessary

to make a fairly large investment on the one hand, and to carry out work on the violation of new generation facilities with others. ukrainian drones join the gathering of the border guard 2023. mykolaivites welcomed the year 2023 without a city tree and festive celebrations . the new year tree was replaced by a tree of indomitability , which mykolaivites actually created with their own hands from the pedestal of st. nicholas covered with security tape from shelling. people associate with the symbols of this war, our mykolaiv colleagues will tell you more about the unusual christmas tree, the idea of ​​making a

figure of st. nicholas appeared at the end of september, when they tried to protect him from shelling with sandbags from afar. this pedestal really began to resemble a white christmas tree . and when closer to the new year, the cultural department of the city council decided to cover this pedestal with a camouflage net and decorated this figure with lanterns, it became even more similar to a christmas tree, and then people did not start coming here with their own hand -made toys and pieces of paper with wishes to the saint. we brought toys made by our relatives with our aunt in our own hand and we want to mark in this way that we thank you, that is, on our toys, the symbols of the trident are depicted in yellow and blue, and the very inscription of the zsu, and on the other toys we wrote wishes, our father has been in captivity in the russian federation since the defender of mariupol, a hero. therefore, we are very sorry enough of

him and we went to nikolay to make a wish ask him to return home this year as soon as possible we only brought him here today we only reached him today well, it seems to me that they didn’t do such a thing for a day, no, this is an exclusive of our nikolaev and that’s all and i we will cling to the toy, our usual toy that met the new year with us, and we will hang it with wishes and faith in victory, of course, this year all ukrainians were united by a single desire. this wish for peace and victory of ukraine in this war on the christmas tree of indomitability in mykolaiv is a lot similar messages are also on it, the symbols of this war, many notes with wishes for peace and harmony to our ukrainian glorious soldiers and not only them, as they say, we are for ukraine
