went to bahmut, and there at least no one of any kind in the basement to hide at the beginning of a full-scale war, being in the resistance forces, mykola gorlia and his comrades near the village of shrebelka found several dead ukrainian soldiers, after consultation, the guys loaded the dead into a gazelle and set off in a column of cars to the position of our armed forces, where they handed over the bodies and documents to the military. with the call sign koks remained in the occupied settlement and from there cooperated with aerial reconnaissance, staged sabotage with a grenade launcher and carried out mines logistics routes of the occupiers, later the man stepped into the ranks of the territorial defense of the armed forces of ukraine, they attacked at the cost of their lives, yes, they attacked that armored personnel carrier that could not leave its position, a brand-new armored personnel carrier with a full bc and katsapsky soldiers started skiing, to be honest , they were scared, they realized that here it

smells like roasting, come on let's go back to the river. and while they left, we stole this armored personnel carrier. this is how ordinary ukrainians defend our land, risking their own lives and health. the whole country helps them in this, and they are not certain of victory. over the mountains, ilya berezenko, dmytro didura , oleksandr burlevych, news on espresso, the occupiers continue to fire at our defenders, machine tools, and artillery, the general staff reports, in particular, during the last day, the enemy launched one air strike and seven attacks from multiple rocket launchers, the russians are trying to advance on bakhmut, avdiiv, liman, and kupyan in other directions, the invaders have taken up the defense and are attacking populated areas and civil infrastructure objects , the enemy does not remain unanswered by aviation during the day, the filoboron of ukraine struck

the enemy's 21st area of ​​concentration, as well as three strikes at the positions of his anti-aircraft missile systems, and our rocket launchers and gunners hit four areas of the concentration of manpower and two ammunition depots of the enemy, the christmas service of the orthodox church of ukraine was held for the first time in a century the assumption cathedral of the kyiv-pechersk lavra was visited by hundreds of believers and dozens of ukrainian and foreign media will tell how it all happened, valery pashko was born, rejoice rejoice to the earth without end, the sky is already blue, mother of god, a ukrainian christmas carol sounds in

the walls of the dormition cathedral of the kyiv-pechersk lavra, this building has not heard its native language for hundreds of years due to the presence of representatives of the moscow patriarchate here, today the governor of the kyiv-pechersk lavra, pavel, was not allowed to enter the courtyard, but the festive service is ruled by the head of the orthodox church of ukraine, today we are celebrating as if the second birth of this cathedral church and our pechersk lavra itself, because the artificial spirit of the unholy teaching of the russian world is leaving them and the spirit of true spiritual service is returning to holy orthodoxy and the ukrainian people, hundreds if not thousands of believers came to the festive service, not all of them fit inside the walls of the assumption cathedral, some watched the service from the screens near the entrance to the shrine 10° the frost in kyiv did not spoil

people's joy since the return of the ptsu to the lavra for almost 100 years, we have been waiting for this, you still waited for the ukrainian, our ukrainian leech to be and our main epiphany will rule in this public football, the army, the language, faith, what is not clear here, these are those the foundations on which our state stands, our people because of the war, that's why we reach some kind of justice, after all, this is a place for god and not for a car around and inside the kiev-pechersk reserve 3,000 law enforcement officers they ensure order and prevent possible provocations among believers at the entrance, documents were checked and they asked not to take suspicious objects with them to prevent provocations, because the day before the uoc

mp called the service in the lavra illegal and an attempt to seize the cathedral by force is nonsense in no way appropriate in fact, the reserve had an agreement on temporary use, which ended on december 31, the commission itself, which was created by the reserve and representatives of the uoc mp, signed the act of acceptance of the transfer, that is, in principle, now the reserve has the right, with the permission of the cult, to provide an hourly god for, including this , the reserve that is as a unesco monument , the upper and lower lavra are divided into two parts. the lease of the upper one by representatives of the uoc mp has ended, but they are still in the lower one. will think about continuing to provide such an opportunity to the orthodox church of ukraine, and since

for a long time it was practically always the monopoly of the moscow patriarchate, it would be fair to violate it on the field. moreover, the orthodox church of ukraine constantly asked to be given the opportunity to serve the authorities and, in turn, the security service in recent weeks, ukraine has been actively fighting the pro-russian mobs of the uoc-mp, they are conducting searches, seizing propaganda literature of the russian world and handing over suspicions to the verkhovna rada, even registering the draft law prohibiting the activities of the moscow patriarchate in ukraine, we are taking it step by step, as it should be in accordance with ukrainian legislation, from in accordance with what people should feel, how it should happen and today it happened and these are the first steps we will take and

then the festive service in the lavra greatly outraged the russians, which is a good sign ukraine is getting rid of the russian peace valery pashko yehor nikitenko and andriy verstyuk tv channel espresso suspended the damn dozen of the moscow patriarchate in the presidency of ukraine by decree citizenship to 13 priests. all of them are representatives of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate. this is reported with reference to the publication's own sources, the left bank among the priests is vinnytsia metropolitan ioaphango, who was searched by the security service of ukraine last year. the churchman was suspected of distributing propaganda materials in favor of the russian federation. russian missile attacks for the new year, the hunt for church traitors and christmas greetings from friends of the poles this week these are the topics that ended up on

the front pages of international publications read more about ukraine on the pages of the world media in our review cynical new year's greetings this week the norwegian newspaper dach vlady publishes an article about the scale of the russian attack on the new year in the publication the kremlin hit ukraine with at least 20 cruise missiles ukrainian air defense forces shot down 12 cruise missiles, including six in the kyiv region, five in the zhytomyr region and one in the khmelnytskyi region the french newspaper le figaro, the media emphasize that the ukrainian army surprised the russians quite

a bit. after all, only in the first days of the war, a small number of air forces shot down dozens of russian missiles. russia launches more missiles than it can produce. mix missiles with drones in this way they try to deceive air defense with the help of kamikaze drones and only then launch missiles gloomy new year's eve of ukrainians soldiers, a report from the front line is published by the french newspaper le figaro , journalists-publishers tell the stories of ukrainian defenders from the flintlock there, too. on new year's eve, shelling and explosions did not stop for a moment, according to one of the russian servicemen, the number of mobilized people is increasing. they are all advancing like zombies , meanwhile, however ukrainian emergency services are working on the front line , writes the british newspaper wedeili telegraph, and the publication also publishes a photo of firefighters fighting a fire in the bakhmut district

publications in social networks contribute to the investigation of war crimes, the swedish publication swedish dagbladid writes about it, the newspaper says that the russian-ukrainian war is one of the most documented in world history, media people note that more than 58,000 potential war crimes are currently being investigated in ukraine, including murder, kidnapping and sexual violence agents in cassocks ukraine has discovered 30 traitors among the pro-russian clergy, it is said in the italian newspaper delasser's couriers in the publication note that although the moscow-ukrainian the church declared full independence from russia, however, it still remained under her among the church traitors pavlo lebid, aka pasha mercedes, ex-deputy of novovolynsky and bishop rostyslav shvets. and about the destruction of ukrainian churches by the russians , the canadian newspaper the globe

and mail writes about the destruction of ukrainian churches by the russians this week. of a half-destroyed church in donetsk region, on it builders are trying to restore the shrine after enemy shelling we wish you the victory of good over evil at the very end in our review of christmas celebrations in ukraine of the war, the polish newspaper vyborcha published a christmas photo and an address in ukrainian to sisters and brothers from ukraine from friends from poland in 2022, the industry has reached 10% growth compared to the previous year, as reported by the lviv it-cluster with reference to data from the national bank . thus, experts information technologies has become almost the only field that, despite the war, is gaining momentum. how does this industry affect the ukrainian economy

? information technologies brought to the economy of ukraine 6 billion us dollars of export revenue, the creative industry, which works mostly with foreign customers, and in this way , firstly, it replenishes the budget, secondly, where there are jobs , thirdly, it supports the economy of ukraine and very, very, very many volunteers the main challenge for it specialists was relocation, according to the it ukraine association, 64% of programmers changed their place of residence, some moved to western regions, and the rest of people moved abroad, companies helped employees and their families to evacuate about three thousand of our employees from the east of ukraine and the north of ukraine at that time were relocated to safer western territories

. we are very proud, among the specialists there are also those who went to defend the country, about 7,000 it people joined the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine, we have about three hundred employees who are currently serving in the army, accordingly, these people have had their salaries preserved wages and their jobs when the first full-scale invasion 37% of ukrainians lost their jobs in the it sector, the reduction was only 6%. about 67% of employers say that their salaries for candidates have not changed, the number of vacancies for it specialists has decreased by 27%. this is confirmed by the data from the job search site, now the market is most in need of experienced specialists this year, there are twice as many active applicants for one vacancy, and than it was before for e-e specialists e junior even it

decreased this year because he because the company did not predicted such active growth as it was before in ukraine, more than 300 institutions of higher education train it specialists of various levels and specialties. you can also get a promising profession in schools and courses at the lviv academy. they say that the demand for it education has not decreased, but prices have increased. felt a strong impact from the point of view of the outflow of students rather no, we are under more pressure well, as for business and as for educational business, other factors if we talk about children's education - it is about uah 2,000 per month if we talk about adult education again, it depends on what product is there , in my opinion, from three and above, but the upper threshold is probably no more than four and a half power outages forced it companies to introduce new anti-crisis measures . some of the employees who work remotely in the office have already

invested in office infrastructure in order to ensure the uninterrupted work of our employees, these are generators, these are starlinks, during the 9 months of the full-scale invasion, domestic companies transferred approximately 1.21 billion to help our army hryvnia, this is evidenced by the statistics of the it ukraine association, the domestic market has shown a high level of adaptability to various scenarios, which is why experts predict that this industry will become the main driver of the reconstruction of the economy after our victory over the invaders. do not steal our traditions and faith in victory with these words the christmas dinner began with about 1.5 thousand invited ukrainians a traditional table of carols and ukrainian songs a heartwarming family holiday was organized by benefactors for

immigrants from ukraine living in warsaw, maria chernyakhivska will tell more about a large table in the premises of the new theater in warsaw. my name is iryna. i came from kyiv and i am from zaporozhye. my name is yana. almost all of the people present are forced migrants who cannot be with their families on christmas eve. our family stayed at home. they are at the festive table today. well, it is very difficult to be apart at this moment during the holidays, the most lonely feeling because the family is not together, the husband is not with us, well, they do not celebrate very much, because in ukraine there is even less festive mood than here, for such people

ukrainian home is warsaw, thanks to numerous sponsors, organized this event, this is a very special holiday, this is a holiday when we, as it were, rejoice as a family, but also remember those who are not with us, and therefore we think that together we can miss those who came this year or natural or is it connected with the war and also those who are with us with us and here or far and for i think together this will be a very important moment for us that is why the priest urged people not to forget about the power of a good word after this dinner, take a mobile phone and call those who are now in bakhmut or in another place, write to them, show them so that they are not forgotten. so imagine sitting in a damp trench at such a time, it is very difficult. cheerful yura
