shells against the background of the increasing shell hunger in the russian federation well, if we are talking about mr. valery, an expert of the institute of war studies, they usually miss the fact that the lack of ammunition will hinder the ability of the russian troops to maintain offensive operations in the 23rd year, but as we understand and see, for example, they still have enough soviet iron to throw it at us, well, the thing is that on the territory of the russian federation there remains a large arsenal of projectiles there. of the soviet union, however, it should be noted that most of these stocks are not conventional projectiles that require their disposal and their use, well, let's say on the battlefield, it primarily carries risks for the occupiers themselves

. and it should be noted that for a reason, the russian federation actually wait thank you for a second, we can actually assume that they will continue to be disposed of on the battlefield. thank you, valery ryabikh, military expert, editor of the defense-express publication, he was in touch with us now, news on the espresso tv channel and ulyana panasiuk thank you colleagues, i will tell you about the masquerade of the russians in the occupied territories, but whether the state takes care of political prisoners and many other important things. stay tuned for news on espresso. germany has decided whether to allow the provision of leopard-2 tanks to ukraine. 145 targets from the place of mass burial in izyum in kharkiv region

have not yet been identified by the police. they assume that these could be local residents who died in whole families. and their relatives live in other in the regions, the head of the main directorate of the national police of the region, volodymyr tymoshko, in the knowledge, continues to take samples for research from all people who believe that their relatives died or disappeared . dna examinations are carried out all the time. discovered after the deoccupation in september, a total of 451 bodies were exhumed, among them more than 200 women and seven children, that is, they will be in luhansk region wearing the uniform of the armed forces of ukraine and are preparing provocations, our pixel on the russians, according to the national resistance center, was recorded in the direction of the flint

. thus, the russians can plan operations under a foreign flag to discredit the armed forces, for example, demonstrative acts of violence among the civilian population in the center of the national resistance were added in order to distinguish the military of the russian federation in the form of russians use blue, white or red ribbons on the legs of ukrainian defenders from our real soldiers. berlin should allow delivery to other countries leopard-2 tanks to ukraine, the minister of economy and vice-chancellor of germany, robert gabbeck, said that the politician believes that the country of manufacture should not stand in the way of the transfer of battle tanks from poland. further export requires the permission of the federal government of germany, does the state help the ukrainian

hostages of the kremlin, a discussion was held in kyiv about social security of political prisoners valeriya pashko will tell the details held a small discussion about social benefits for people who are currently in kremlin prisons, in particular, on november 19, the relevant law came into force, which provides for permanent state payments, as well as the provision of free education, as well as, by the way, the creation of workplaces for people who are now political prisoners in the russian federation actually 100 000 uah annually can be received by the families of political prisoners, as well as the same amount if they are released, but in order to receive this assistance, it is necessary to apply to the relevant commission under the ministry of reintegration, submit

all the relevant documents and also to tell his story, a person who is currently in the kremlin prisons to give him such an appropriate status , but there is also a story with the fact that the situations of prisoners of war and civilians are different , because the situation with civilians is more complicated, at least such an exhibition was reached. during this discussion, he says that more than 3,000 at least civilians are in kremlin prisons and the red cross, for example, does not have access to them, they can only see what conditions they are in if they are in the same cells together with prisoners of war, according to the geneva convention, it is also impossible to exchange free persons, so far our state exchanges them very rarely, because after the end of hostilities, the russian federation is supposed to hand over all civilians who

are in prisons, at least so far we do not know how this situation is will be true as far as russia is suitable for this, that is, the situation is actually not easy right now, at least that is what it says, and also with this law we can say that all the money cookies are all that is necessary and the commission is already working in the same way 16 on december 650 applications were considered for the recognition of a person as a political prisoner, but people also receive a large number of e-e refusals due to the fact that they do not fully provide all the necessary documents that confirm that the person is actually in the prisons of the kremlin. this was valeria pashko talking about the social security of ukrainian political prisoners january 12 in ukraine day of the ukrainian political prisoner on this day in 1972 mass arrests of the

ukrainian intelligentsia began, in particular, in january, 19 people were arrested in lviv and kyiv for the role of dissidents in the ukrainian liberation movement move further in our story vasyl stus ivan svitlichnyi vyacheslav chornovil iryna kalinets stefania shabatura yevhen sverstyuk mykhailo osadchii and leonid plyusch this is a far from complete list of people who were arrested in the soviet union on january 12, 1972 and tried under the article of the criminal code of the ukrainian ssr anti-soviet agitation and propaganda and also the spread of slander about the validity of the soviet union was punishable by 7 years in prison and five years in exile just for defending ukrainian culture. the presidential movement was a principled violent dissident movement was not so massive. that is, it was sold by intellectuals in 900 and, in principle, it began as the movement for the protection of ukrainian culture, gradually

gaining some more political images , but even this struggle of dissidents is a departure from ukrainian culture, which they, for example, tried to do fundamentally within the framework of soviet legislation by the french the imprisonment of those people ended in january 1972 , the kgb sent a special message to the secretary of the central committee of the communist party of ukraine, petrushelestov, about the beginning of the block operation, it was accepted to impeach well-known ukrainians, and the rest continued during 1972-1973, according to researchers, during this time, about a hundred ukrainians were arrested. in this way, it tried to break this movement, which was one of the largest in the territory of the soviet union, but achieved the opposite result of the radicalization of this movement in the camps of dissident participants movement intersected with the long-standing comparisons of the bandera people as communication with whom once again

radicalized the dissidents and more clearly expressed in them a demand not just for protection of ukrainian culture, actually of ukrainian independence, and the rest of the dissidents further intensified the struggle for ukrainian independence, which ukraine restored in 1991 , a difficult struggle for the development of ukrainian culture, language and awareness of ukrainian identity, even in spite of a respectable age, often with impaired health after imprisonment dissidents continued the struggle such personalities such as levko lukyanenko vyacheslav , the mining brothers of iryna kalenets, were already very actively involved in this new stage and were directly involved in the fact that ukraine did regain its independence in 1991, some of them became active politicians. vyacheslav chernov led the then most powerful political party, the people's movement, some of them became deputies in 1990, and despite the fact that they were in the minority of the opposition national opposition in this parliament, they managed to cool

decisions that are simply capitally important for independence , unfortunately, nowadays in ukraine they do not care too much about the well- being of people who often did not spare their health or life for the independence of the state , so recently it became known about the predicament to a member of the dissident movement and to the end of the day, vasyl ovsienko, who was in the hospital and needed help, so the people's deputies of ukraine are currently trying to pass a law proposing amendments to the law of ukraine on pensions for special services to ukraine so that the fighters for independence would receive additional help, we are so very, very recognized with this draft law and with each passing day these people who will finally receive this er some kind of material compensation from the ukrainian state is becoming less and less, and the need for those who remain alive, unfortunately, unfortunately, they are only growing, we can talk about about 5,000 hryvnias, that is, what she will keep instead of the one and a half or how much she is currently receiving, that is, in principle, in fact, this

amount is very small, but i am sure that we need to move on this direction because, unfortunately, you know, even in the 31st year of independence, one of the key problems is that there is no understanding that we have to pay something to such people, the draft law has already been passed in the first reading next week, the document they plan to consider the social policy committee and later in the parliament khrystyna parubiy espresso tv channel even in the occupation they continue to fight they are not afraid of repressions and tours feodosiya yevpatoriya yalta sevastopol simferopol the city of prosperity ukrainian resistance because that is where the number of representatives of the yellow ribbon movement is growing and this in that the time when the russians conduct raids and searches in search of ukrainian symbols . however, activists continue to conduct numerous raids, in particular on the peninsula patriotic leaflets and painted graffiti , this once again reminded the occupiers that crimea is

ukraine, this news release is complete, the espresso information service is already working on updating information, i will present operational news at 5:00 p.m., however, do not switch the ether, because espresso will continue qualitative analytics from khrystinovyaz and antin berkovsky, you found a working store in three letters, the light is off, i don't have it, please, here's this bouquet. it's lucky. we have it and it doesn't disappear. yes, the generator on the street is humming ukrainian veteran fund, money is possible. no, the fund helps veteran enterprises, i wonder what is needed for this, only fop and ubd,

with tetyana shustrova the espresso tv channel is hosting an informational and analytical marathon on the espresso tv channel, we are attracting the best experts to interpret the most important events, we are working together with khrystyna yatskiv borkovskiy well, yesterday was an extraordinary event took place in ukraine, in lviv, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, and the president of poland, andrzej duda, met. well, the president of lithuania, and the president of lithuania, met. after this meeting , an important moment took place. but also calls on all nato partners and all partners in the european union to do so, and not only we will talk with igor popov, an expert of the ukrainian institute, the future president of the igor politician analytical center congratulations glory to ukraine glory to the heroes good day well, let's sum up the results

of yesterday's meeting between the three presidents in lviv, so to speak, the meeting is extremely important, this is already the second meeting in the format of the so -called lublin triangle, and we understand that poland, lithuania and ukraine can play their historical role that they already played out in the 16th century when they de facto physically entered the kremlin. what do you think is happening now? the moment is the start of the great diplomatic season and the lublin declaration signed by the three presidents following the meeting is very important, that is, in fact, in it president zelenskyy together with two allies announces our public directives for the coming months, well, this is our task of

international politics, and it is a lot. under all of these tasks, not under the entire list, all allies are ready to sign today, but what is the importance of yesterday's declaration, two allies have already publicly put their signatures and therefore the rest have already will join this and let's say the main issue that you have already mentioned is the issue of the supply of tanks. poland has announced that it is ready to provide the first company of leopards, of course, after the approval of the ally, and we can already see the reaction if, just a week ago, german politicians were told that it was impossible to supply tanks to ukraine today he is already saying that germany should allow poland to give german tanks to ukraine, that is, the ice has melted, the floodgates are opening and this is the arrival of a new stage of obtaining weapons for ukraine, it seemed possible to me, but i also it was noted that literally yesterday, from those

public fragments that got into the information space, volodymyr zelenskyy in his rhetoric particularly emphasized our movement into the north atlantic alliance and the need to somehow intensify in this direction, which in principle is somewhat different from what we heard before general features of the games, do you really see that now there will be a certain revival in this direction, and most importantly, is there the same political will of the north atlantic alliance after all open the door for us, let's get in touch even more , ihor popov, an expert at the ukrainian institute of the future president of the analytical center, the politician will be in touch with us in a few moments from the general staff. for now, we inform you very strongly that the fighting continues in the areas of soledar, paraskiivka , bakhmut and klishivka in the liman direction, the

enemy is trying to defend himself on in the avdiiv direction, the enemy is conducting unsuccessful offensive actions, they are trying to improve the situation in the kupyan and novopavlov directions, in the orihiv direction there were eight of airstrikes in the kherson direction, the enemy has been conducting a positional defense since january 5, our artillery hit more than 300 enemy targets. well, there is such an interesting detail in today's briefing by the representative of the ministry of defense of the russian federation, igor konashenko , in which he regularly reports on the impression that ukrainian aviation has completely destroyed yes, 500 gamers and the shooting down of a whole number of byraktars there with just one shot. so, in today's briefing, he avoided specific locations and did not name either bakhmut or soledar. he said that in donetsk in this direction, the successful offensive

actions of the russian troops continue. well, maybe this is, uh, some kind of new characteristic igor popov - an expert of the ukrainian institute of the future president of the analytical center, the politician is in touch with us again mr. igor and i apologize for the light and they turned it off, they got it our aggressors are already interfering to work normally. i repeat and direct my question to you again . on the siege, in your opinion, will it really be forced now? it is this direction and the vector of our movement of the president where he says that at the nato summit in the summer, which will be held in vilnius, we would like to hear not just an assurance that the door is open a so that we

move to the next stage of integration, i.e. will it be a membership action plan or will it be a new declaration with, again, an action plan with membership criteria, negotiations on membership, this is the task of our diplomacy to continue not just general framework negotiations to talk about specific integration because we all understand that the best guarantee of security for ukraine is membership in the nato organization so that article five of the statute applies to us as well, this is an article about collective security, because after the end of the war, we all understand that there will be risks of a new war risks of revenge, and therefore the best preparation for a new war is to have legal obligations of the allies that they will not only provide all the aid there, but that they will fight for ukraine if they are talking about a generator. an important story mr. igor if we talk about the terms and pace of when our western partners

will already put the final point in the matter of the tank so-called coalition, can this happen at the next meeting of rammstein , really, on january 20, a meeting of the rammstein group is planned on youtube just in time and the coordination of the allies is discussed as to who what kind of weapons can he supply, this meeting with ramstein was originally planned for january 30 or 31, now it has been postponed, it is good, it is natural that the allies understand that we need weapons, not after a few months and we can already see that decisions have already been made on heavy combat vehicles , marder bradley and french light tanks, they have already made a decision, but the transition to the supply of main battle tanks is the british challenger two or the german leopard-2, then the tanks that are currently in service nato countries are almost

ready for this decision, but we see that it is necessary to push it, and this is exactly what our diplomats are doing. well, the key question is what happened that finally our partners are friends and so on, i don't want to continue there to say to call them allies well, but de facto some of them are not our allies and that's what happened what well, how many months of full-scale invasion of russia yes on our lands why exactly now they have matured what worked well we also see a change in e in the official public rhetoric if earlier western politicians said that it is impossible to allow ukraine to lose this war, in the last two or three weeks there have been more frequent statements that ukraine should win this war, it would seem like a small change. however, this means that if earlier western allies they were afraid of a quick victory of ukraine over russia,

they were afraid that it would lead to some kind of escalation , and now a consolidated decision is being formed that ukraine can, ukraine is ready to advance, ukraine is ready to win and the west will help her in this, that is, they conducted some of their assessments, maybe they conducted computer simulations, maybe their intelligence know something that we don't need to know publicly yet, but of course our leadership and our intelligence know it too, based on all the intelligence, they are probably preparing diplomatic decision that is, this is not only a public decision caused by our requests and our lobbying, but apparently they are still based on certain information uhu, what, mr. igor, probably at the end, we will ask about our movement into the north atlantic alliance with this, in principle, everything is clear, but in ukraine itself

, there is an opinion that integration into the european union is something a little easier than integration into, for example, nato, which in the eu will be perceived as easier, you just need to win, you just need to reform a little so that on the way, as they say, on the way to victory and the question is supposedly, as they say, er, already resolved. what do you think? as you see, is there really er, within the european union, the awareness that ukraine is already er, well, practically a member, as we see ourselves, at least some of the analysts who really like to watch ukrainian citizens well, i don't know how rational it is, well, the final decision will not be very quick and will not be very easy, because even the status of a candidate for membership does not bind the european union so much, and on february 3 there will be a ukraine eu summit in kyiv, and our task there is to move to the next stage which it is called formalized negotiations on

membership, but from this stage to the final receipt of the star on the flag of the european union , it may take a lot of time, and therefore, in parallel, we are integrating in a hierarchical order, that is, citizens of ukraine, because of the war, received the right to education, social protection, medicine and the main right to work in the countries of the european union. an important step towards european integration, we have removed all quotas and restrictions on trade and the agreement on a deep and comprehensive free trade zone. it really became such a question that we have factories are diluted. we cannot sell so many products. however, this is also a very important step towards real european integration . on the day of departure, we will already have completely free roaming for ukrainian mobile operators in europe, but now there are already many benefits for this, and our refugees feel it for once european integration is a very important political decision, but even before

that we can get almost all the advantages it gives us and of course access to structural funds remains an important issue, we know how much money poland received for that to raise the level of its infrastructure to the european level, and of course ukraine expects that in parallel with obtaining the status of a member of the european union, we will also receive these investments, that is, we will receive not only funds for the restoration of the destroyed infrastructure, but also for equalization, that is, there are special funds in europe. of course, this is very important to get access to them, mr. igor, i would like to ask you about the prospects of deepening real mutual cooperation between ukraine and poland, we understand that there is common, there is european and euro-atlantic package, but there is still concrete sympathy between different political elites and between different peoples, between ukrainians and

poles, we understand that there has not been such a rapprochement in the entire history of ukrainian-polish relations, such trust and real cooperation . synchronization, it is possible that there are some important, i don't know , political or legal things, what will happen with that matter now? and we remember very well the speech of the president in may zelenskyi, who raised the level of ukrainian-polish cooperation to an extremely high level, the budget really helped, and ukrainian citizens are in many respects equal to polish citizens on the territory of poland. likewise, the verkhovna rada passed a decision that polish citizens also have the majority of social economic rights the same as at home and the same as here citizens of

ukraine have during the war many steps have been taken towards historical reconciliation, we understand that there were difficult moments in history ah, about that, we need to go through them and we need the past not to interfere with our common future, and this is also a positive trend, probably one of the prospects for cooperation, this is exactly security cooperation, rain of nato membership, no one forbids any nato member to conclude bilateral agreements about security cooperation and they can have more serious guarantees than with other nato members and yesterday's lublin declaration of the lublin triangle was mentioned by a positive story from the ukrainian-polish-lithuanian battalion about the fact that it will continue, that is, it is not excluded that at this stage we will probably have more joint units that will guarantee joint security, i remember

exactly this axis, many people in ukraine hoped for it, do you remember the meeting of the leaders of ukraine, poland and great britain, and then there were ambitions to make this kind of association an alternative to our joining the alliance, at least until we are not in the north atlantic alliance, or a security option - it was a good sense of the development of events, igor, but it seems to me that great britain now, in addition to such a strong partnership with us and in addition to providing assistance, somehow distanced itself a little from efforts to connect itself with us by some kind of agreements , joint projects, projects, programs with the participation of other countries, for example, poland . maybe i am wrong, you will now refute this opinion from the time boris johnson had some

initiative regarding a separate security union for three states, but it is necessary to understand that these security unions have real weight when they have real obligations, namely collective security obligations, without this everything can turn into the same and essentially british idea of ​​a political european community, the first meeting was held in prague in november, many countries gathered for ukraine all these platforms are important because it presents its interests, its needs, its vision of the peace process, but without any mutual obligations, it will remain at the level of periodic clubs that meet and declare something. this is also important, it should be, but it will not replace real play and security, and therefore, of course, the first priority in terms of security is the introduction in nato and before joining the
