extremely difficult year for our country and for each of us, we received very happy news that we managed to find seven-year-old dima filonov, whom we were looking for for more than six months, let me remind you that dima disappeared on march 21 in mariupol , just when very fierce fighting was going on in the city, since then the fate of this little boy was not known at all nothing but fortunately, the long search gave results and the child was found, it was possible to get in touch with his relatives, now the boy and his parents at the same time survived dimi at the age of seven . unfortunately, it was a real horror, because it is not worth reminding once again what hell happened in mariupol in the spring as in in this situation, civilians were forced to survive and save themselves, especially small children, it is possible that what these boys and girls experienced will not pass without a trace for them, they may need

psychological help and such cases in ukraine now because of the war, unfortunately, there are a lot of them. therefore, the international children's fund unicef advises parents of children who have suffered psychological trauma due to the war as follows: do not avoid talking to the child about his experiences, tell the child that you will definitely take care of his safety, with younger children you can act out fairy tales about how the main character survived difficult times and what awaits him in the future. if there is such an opportunity, of course, be sure to seek help from a psychologist. we are very happy that dima filonov has found himself, and i would like to thank you to you for the fact that you were interested in joining the search and, in particular, reposting and sharing videos and announcements about the search for houses on your pages in social networks, your help is actually extremely important, at the same time, we are still missing, there are

still many children in ukraine, i will remind you that you can take their photos see on the website of the children's search service, please look at their faces, who knows, maybe your attentiveness will help find one of these children, one of them is vanya malinovskyi, a boy from among them missing in help kherson as early as november. his mother, mrs. iryna, begs to find vanya. i am looking for my son, ivan oleksandrovich malinovsky, 14 years old , who disappeared from the city of kherson at the beginning of november 22, so the child lived with me until the summer of 21. from the summer of the 21st year, the child found more with his father because i was working. the boy's mother said that during the occupation, vanya and his father stayed in kherson, the woman herself was in the territory under the control of ukraine and could not get to her son and already after the occupation, mrs. iryna, of course

, immediately came to kherson with nadiya to see vanya as soon as possible, but the boy and his father were not at home, the child went missing , vanya’s mother omits that her son and his father could have evacuated to russia or kazakhstan, because they have relatives there but for now this is only an assumption, vanya malinovskyi is actually now located is unknown, i am asking everyone who has at least some kind of chain, who has seen or heard maybe, please contact and provide information to the police or the detective service 116,000 children, this is the telephone number of our hotline, all calls are free, please. if you know any information about vanya malinovsky, let us know immediately. i really hope for your care and attention. and the story of dima filonov, about whom i told at the beginning, is a vivid testimony that with joint efforts, the child really it is possible to search even in a very difficult situation

in the regional center a twenty-year-old boy was killed the occupiers hit a high-rise building four were wounded in chernobaivka takamishans the enemy covered with artillery the village was destroyed gas pipeline and power lines, the occupiers also damaged an agricultural enterprise and private houses. and in kherson, the russians targeted the fire station instead of a house, a basement for food for a few dozen, to charge the phone only if there is gasoline for the generator . this is how, almost from the very beginning of the full-scale invasion of russian terrorists

, the inhabitants of the village survive that not far from zaporizhzhia, the occupiers are constantly shelling peaceful neighborhoods here, every day and every night, the soil has soured, the only road of life what connects the front-line forces that are smooth and with the surrounding world dmytro and marina are returning home from zaporizhzhia, where they went to buy necessities, the butterfly is still an old woman with us, and she bought napkins, she bought diapers there , the couple has been saying since march, when a few kilometers from here, foreigners paid off and began to make huts around to live in floats it is almost impossible, well, there are no shops in the village, and there is no friend. well, they did not make it a little bit there, too, since march, we have no electricity, no water, volunteers brought us water, and they often bombed, and in the morning they also bombed the village, he says mrs. svitlana, out of four hundred, only

dozens of souls were left, the houses were broken by russian shells. count the basement as the home of many. this is how she lives in this cramped basement with a battery stove. svetlana has been living in a corner for several months in a row. a crowbar and a shovel, if she fell asleep after the explosion, for 2 months, the bedroom and the kitchen. you know очень прографиет morally, i don't know how it will fly, it won't fly morally, at least calmly, but it flies around the village from the liberators every day and everywhere, we didn't know those explosions that were happening now, before, they were somehow but not as strong as now, if it comes, they just lie at home, ms. svitlana says, if it were n’t for the volunteers who deliver food, water, medicine , the peasants’ affairs would be like gotke’s, and there is even a considerable power bank for charging phones, and we put it in the bank we charge the generator and then people bring phones to whom we need people who survive under daily shelling beg those who care

to help us and we have fuel for the generator and chainsaws and transport because there is only one car in the whole village, we have gasoline now проевом месте стоит на панадобности, the nearest gas station is 50 km from us, sorry, we have very few people in cars, we have very little left, almost one person, people are tired of the daily shelling of the russians, of course, for the new year, they only wished for peace and for all our defenders to return home in peace and for the boys to all were alive god give them health who is protecting us andriy borscht what artem dozhinkov ictv facts - the only news in our general staff is reported now that the situation on the border with belarus is stable and under control of belarusian territory, all stocks of ammunition for art systems and rsv ochevyk for reinforcement in the eastern direction, however, residents of the border region are

on guard from the first days, preparing for defense, our people told kateryna kurbanova what they are afraid of, what they believe in and how they will defend themselves in the event of an attack and such. well, in our space space is needed even in our area , rockets were flown and launched, they were in lviv , lutsk and the oil depot and the airport in the first days of the great war were launched from belarus, which is 10 kilometers from here, the residents of the border region confess to the last they didn't believe that russia would attack us and belarus would become an accomplice of a frenzied aggressor. they didn't believe that people live so nicely in ukraine. so they came and completely ruined life here. from the very beginning of the war, we ran to hide here sometimes and spent the night , says ms. natalya, when they came out of the shelters, they built defensive structures around the village, they were very afraid of an attack from the side of belarus

. it was as if the very nature around the villages was for the protection of the people, deep marshes, bogs that almost never freeze even in winter, other marshes are continuous marshes, so that tanks will not pass here, and people even more so if they do not know the area on guard and the military, they are closely monitoring what is happening near the border in belarus , they continue to strengthen the borders and build minefields, explosive barriers and the biggest villagers are afraid of enemy missiles, those who have nowhere to hide at home have set up shelters near their houses in case of an attack from the sky part of the people will be able to hide in the forest, they themselves have built such shelters underground, how to build such shelters, they looked at the military in the event of a threat, several dozen

villagers can hide in each of them, only even with a direct shot at this 120 mm, it will withstand the villagers want to believe that the belarusians will not attack them with weapons, because a lot of ukraine lives there, although they will never be able to forgive their neighbors for helping terrorists, they don't know, and give up their territory so that we can be bombed. ms. nadiya on during the war, two grandsons and a son-in-law defend our country in the hottest spots, and when the adults get in touch, they assure her that everything is good , there is still inspiration somehow, we will try to make it all end sooner and return home with victory to men and people, the christmas holidays were the end of the year too alarming, because along the border, the military of the russian federation became more active, accumulated forces and equipment, and the day before, the russians took back a lot of weapons and took them to the east of ukraine to strengthen

their troops, so that our guys say in us we have exposed these borders of ours, so the defenders are reporting the same in our general staff that there are no signs of the formation of offensive groups of the enemy . there is no place to evaluate the enemy. the war showed that it rallied our people. we will build a free and independent ukraine . kateryna kurbanova pavlo lisivnenko ictv facts - the only news ukrainian defenders our colleagues from the military use captured russian equipment that the enemy left behind in the areas from which they fled. television talked with those who help repair the equipment, not so t-72 b3 was repaired with a significant leakage of lubricant, and its engine does not heat up at the moment, the military of the technical

support platoon of one of the brigades in donetsk region is dealing with these problems, we are tightening the gasket on the head, now they are removing the radiator they removed the expansion radiator, washed it , all the same, put up the guides . in kyiv, sumy, and chernihiv regions , some of them were even equipped with high -explosive cluster munitions and guided missiles. most of the tanks independently made their way to the east of ukraine and here they were already fulfilling their assigned tasks, returning the russian gifts. now the bears are again in need of significant repairs. to repair the trophy equipment, it takes a lot of time, effort, and special equipment, it is impossible to do it in combat conditions, such equipment

arrives, you have to deal with it, you squeeze the car, it went on ukrainian social networks the humorous expression russian langleys arose, because the amount of trophy equipment is so significant that battalions are equipped with it today, a pre-premiere screening of the historical drama shchedryk was held in kyiv, a film about the story of three families of ukrainian poles and jews who found themselves under the soviet german occupation, the events of the war left no chance for a happy and peaceful life for none of the adults. but how do children experience it? our olga chytaylo shchedryk has already watched the film in the cinema since january 5th. this poster was supposed to appear in cinemas last year. but first there was a quarantine, and then the war began, and the fact that the premiere is happening right

now, the authors of the film consider it symbolic, i had goosebumps because i thought , oh my god, it's not good that we have a war and that's what happened, but surely this film is just he was waiting for the most relevant movie now so that ukrainians would watch it and understand that this is all dragging on from the past, that they happened to remember this movie about the events of the second world war , stanislav, the current ivano-frankivsk, three families, jewish, polish and ukrainian they live in the same house when the soviet troops came in 1939, they arrested a polish family in 1941. when the germans came, the jewish children from these families were sheltered by the ukrainians, but after a few years this family became a victim of

repression. you are hiding a fascist's puppy, this movie is very necessary right now. after all, only after experiencing the war can you truly feel the footage of the hideout or draw parallels between the behavior of soviet soldiers then and russian soldiers now. shchedrik, he also became a song of the opposite. i believe that the film was released it is very timely and perhaps better to release it now , because now the ears of the ukrainian people and their hearts are very open to learning about their past. by the way, the first premiere of the film took place in poland , and according to the director, this is another symbol. many poles went to the screening, and the poles cried and said this also our history and it was probably the best thing when other peoples talk about this movie and they start to perceive our culture barely the motif of the film shchedryk mykola

leontovycha sung by the daughter of ukrainians yaroslava the girl believes in miraculous power of this christmas carol i want to go on the big stage to sing shchedrik for some reason shchedrik because shchedrik makes people better come out you go look at the cowshed there the babushkas rolled shchedrik at least two weeks over the sex cinemas all over the country but if the audience comes to see this movie olga will continue the rental read and maksymilian ilchenko ictv facts - only news such news for this moment marathon only news continues around the clock i wish you a quiet night take care of yourself as usual for the new year we make plans we make wishes but this new year is special

it will be the new year of courage and the new year of indomitability. we continue to keep our guard in the marathon. the only news is alone or with friends , with light or by candlelight. and the revival of ukraine, we will heal our councils, we will decorate the scars with flowers,

the ukrainian destiny will bloom again like poppies in the field, ukraine is embroidered, the renaissance is strong, unbreakable, free for christmas, one wish, victory, they left home evacuated from dangerous regions need financial or humanitarian support call the hotline for crisis issues of the ministry of reintegration at number 1548 or contact the hotline of the commissioner for internally displaced persons number plus 3 8 066 813-62-39 specialists will provide qualified advice if it is temporarily occupied territories contact the hotline of the ministry at the number what to see on the screen via messenger whatsapp telegram or viber 1548 we will help you share these tips it can

to save i congratulate you today the minister of defense of ukraine oleksiy reznikov is visiting us i congratulate you mr. minister happy new year happy new year mr. oleksiy we are meeting literally on the first days of the new year, a very important year from this year, of course, we are all waiting for one, all of us we are waiting for the victory, but this victory would definitely not have happened without the movement that has already ended. i would very much like you to analyze the main events a little now, the main results, the main progress that was made last year, which will allow us to win in the year that we entered, i will try briefly, you know, there is no such thing as a former lawyer, it would be difficult to stop a lawyer. it seems to me that number one is the era of ukrainocentrism in the world. ukraine has demonstrated to the whole world that it is a country and a nation of indomitable invincibles that did not

fall in 72 hours, as someone there thought, the capital will fall, and in 2-3 weeks the whole country, which is already holding resistance and is successfully holding it and liberating the temporarily occupied territories starting from the island of the snake, kyiv region, chernihiv region, sumy region, kharkiv region kherson oblast therefore seems to me to be the most important thing . the second thing is that in fact we have already become a de facto member of the nato alliance because the number of modern western weapons and technologies that our servicemen and our armed forces have mastered in the security and defense sector is unbelievable to her, that is, in 30 years. it also seemed unreal . it seemed that we would receive such complex systems, but we received them and continue to receive them, and this also helps us to beat the enemy, and the third thing that became clear is that we destroyed the myth of the so-called second army in the world, which seemed it is terribly invincible there. and this was discovered,

of course, by a bubble that, er, mocks its people, uses meat grinder tactics , and old soviet approaches. and that's it. it seems to me that these are three key things that have essentially changed the world today, and today the world has moved into a new one. the portal, as it should have in its time, moved to a new portal due to covid, it also moved to a new portal of civilizational development due to this war and i am convinced that we are already living in a new modern world, a task in which after the victory in this war to build a new security architecture in the world, i just want to pick up on your thesis that we have entered a new portal, of course, from obvious victories. last year was such a tectonic geopolitical one in the world. scary and maybe not so panicky anymore, did you feel it at those numerous rammstein meetings where you were often?

of course, it is very interesting, you know, that was the evolution, eh. although if you look at the term, it is a revolution from the point of view of terms but this is really an evolution, because i saw how it started, such leadership and active support from the united states, great britain, the baltic countries, and poland, these are the first such kostyak countries that, in the first place, despite everything, took us and immediately began to support us without there are no fears, lithuania, latvia, estonia are small countries with small budgets, they gave everything they could give, it is very important poland well, here it is impossible to overstate the positive things that the poles did for us, but when did this club start marinshtein was started thanks to the initiative of the united states, today there are more than 50 countries. this is more than in the nato alliance, which means that this is an anti-kremlin coalition. here

it is, and it is just a sign that the world has changed and every country that joined gradually i heard the speeches of the ministers of defense, which sounded and sounded bolder and bolder. and today we are talking and they clearly say to oleksiy that no matter what happens, we are with you until the end of this war, and at the end of this war we perceive your victory, it is clear what exactly victory is of our guys on the front line, but in the first days, in the first months of the war, it seems to me that this fundamental fracture became and provoked, right ? well, of course, i repeat myself, many countries of the world thought that we would fall in 72 hours. i personally saw the secret orders with my own eyes the landing of the commanders of paratroopers of the russian special forces who were supposed to control the government quarter in kyiv in 12 hours from the moment of the attack, but how do you understand if i saw it, it means it was taken from the body of the killed paratrooper by our by representatives of the security and defense sector and

when we showed it and showed that this is not a small soviet army fighting a large soviet army, somewhere, of course, a small soviet army is doomed to defeat and this is a modern, new, updated ukrainian army by the ukrainian nation, which fights absolutely not in the soviet way, uses creativity, freedom of feeling er, er, normal democratic relations within the units and between the teams, and so on, the support of the entire people, the military-political key - this is all the same when the president of ukraine said i don't need taxi no, weapons are needed and this was a signal for everyone, respectively, and the government is in place, deputies are in place, the army is in place, the entire security and defense sector in the city, volunteers, doctors, rescue workers, railway workers, all of them, the whole country, the whole of ukraine has shown that we will not give up because our main value is freedom is the feeling of freedom, the main value of our

european partners is also the value of europeans is security, and therefore for the sake of security, they can trade gas with the aggressor, they can continue to build the northern streams-2 and so on, someone tries to do business with the usual, but for us freedom is more important and we take risks, we did not give up, we did not start writing some capitalization agreements, which in principle were counted on, including our partners, but when they realized that it would not be otherwise, we would not give up and not only because they are capable of beating them, they believed in it and wanted to become co-authors of this victory, it is important to help us and wanted to be involved in this victory, the truth is that this is exactly what i want to talk about weapons, agree with oleksiy that what we received at the end of the year we could not have dreamed at the beginning of the year, and of course the agreement on the supply of the patriot anti-aircraft missile complex is, of course, such a state, the crowning glory of this aid is now fashionable to say the nomenclature of the military aid package, i would like you to briefly

analyze what we are at the end of the year, the beginning in the new year, we receive from the institution yes. the main thing that we have with you should be realized, apart from a real breakthrough in e-e, let's say the improvement of our air defense system, and because before that we received nasambs we received crotal we irish people received these modern western systems that strengthened our old soviet anti- aircraft defense system, which we operated quite successfully. because we get those modern systems, master them and demonstrate to our partners that it works and works. it is very good in essence. combo testing is such an expression. that is, it means approved about checked in during the ukrainian-russian war
