meanwhile, tension is growing on the border with lebanon, israel has withdrawn troops and heavy equipment there. in response to hezbollah rocket fire. the group has threatened to launch hostilities if tzahal goes ahead with a ground operation against gaza. the situation in israel forces partners to react. the day before , the usa confirmed that they are sending a second aircraft carrier to the region, although it has not yet been decided whether it will be stationed off the coast of israel. in addition, washington called on everyone to support the country and condemn hamas. this attack brought to the surface painful memories and the scars left by millennia of anti-semitism and genocide against the jewish people. and at this moment, our position should be absolutely clear. there is no excuse for terrorism. as i said, my commitment to the security of israel and the jewish people is unwavering. the united states supports israel. at the same time , the world continues to fall. a wave of demonstrations

in support of palestine, residents of muslim states and countries where there are powerful palestinian diasporas take to the streets, sympathize with the palestinians and in the kremlin, the day before putin reprimanded israel for capturing arab territory the authorities of the aggressor country, which itself occupied ukrainian lands and shamelessly tramples on international law, mentioned the un decisions and called for their implementation. the adoption of the united nations resolution on the creation of a palestinian state has been sabotaged, we really hope that this conflict will be ended, and we advocate that it should happen immediately, everyone is serious about the implementation of the un security council resolution, so it looks like another aggravation of the palestinian-israeli conflict, other powerful are ready to join international players, and whether it is really so, political scientists explain, is unlikely to be announced by a jew. state, the war of anti-terrorist

groups will turn into an interstate one. indeed, this outbreak of violence became the most violent in the history of more than 70 years of constant tension in arab-israeli relations, but neighbors hostile to israel today do not have enough strength for an open armed confrontation. egypt, well, let's say this, has an old peace treaty with israel, there is a negative attitude towards israel, it also exists, but fighting is very... very critical, problematic, unprofitable and risky. lebanon is in a huge crisis, a huge crisis, socio-economic, iran, lebanon has survived several wars, civil wars. who can fight from the territory of lebanon, who is fighting? hezbollah, a pro-iranian group, but hezbollah is not lebanon. the civil war continues, although not on the same scale as before in syria. the only country that is actually... interested in

the war and does not hide the desire to destroy israel is iran, but it does not have a direct border with it, and tehran has officially taken revenge for the atrocities that they committed hamas militants, however, some intelligence is sure that iran inspired this attack, because it supports the group in every possible way, probably the ayatov regime is currently probing the situation, what will be israel's response, so the jewish state needs to demonstrate strength and power, they definitely need it to do, because before a lot was based on the fact that israel was afraid, afraid of the israeli army, israeli intelligence, afraid of the mossad, and now this fear is largely absent, and israel needs to restore this fear, but it must be done in such a way that, let's put it this way, no, a critical attitude towards israel does not occur again. in the same way , the usa must show strength and a clear position, maintaining its leading position on the international arena.

important both for washington itself and for maintaining the balance of power in the world, and even after punishing the terrorists , israel and its partners will face a difficult dilemma of what to do with the palestinian authority, because after each escalation the degree of hatred increases and complicates coexistence, developed agreements and mechanisms interactions are now destroyed. olga zhydetska, details, inter marathon tv channel single news. washington will help. states are going to implement. today new oil restrictions against russia, and also intend to speed up the transfer of frozen russian funds to ukraine. how can it help the economy and reconstruction, and what tranche will america itself ultimately provide? we will ask our special correspondent in the united states, dmytro nobchenko, about this. he is now in touch with the us congress. dimo, i congratulate you. so, what exactly is the american cooking administration for ukraine and against russia? losh,

well, here are some news, i have just now, first of all, today the american administration is supposed to announce new measures to limit the prices of russian oil. those restrictions, you remember, were introduced by the big seven, they worked, and now the us treasury admits that they have become less effective, because during this time, russia nevertheless found an opportunity, found ways to partially bypass these restrictions, precisely for moreover, they simply need to be strengthened today, so that two in one, and not give again to increase world oil prices, and secondly, to prevent the kremlin from making money on financing the ukrainian war, that is, this is the step we are waiting for. a step that we hope will be powerful enough. second, and the washington post writes about this today, the american administration is quite serious and has decided to speed up the process of transferring frozen russian funds to ukraine. well, the journalists of the newspaper, such a high-profile article, talked to many

experts and officials, both former and current, and just found out that the average the biden administration is having a very serious discussion, there are calls, there are calls for... to redirect these assets to kyiv, moreover , to put pressure on european partners, to negotiate with the europeans so that this is an agreed solution, politicians and experts who are already involved in this process , say they understand there are some legal complications, there are some financial complications, they also predict that this is not a quick process, meaning, citing experts who spoke to the newspaper, it could be several months to a year, however, at some point the process has to start, well, white the house also wants it to start as soon as possible, to have money, you know, such an insurance policy for ukraine in case, as now , financial grants from the american administration are delayed, how much money is also clear, according to official data, about 300 billion dollars, these are gold bullion reserves

of the russian central bank are frozen in the west, and when ukrainian prime minister shmegal was here in washington, i personally heard slightly different estimates from him, ukraine hopes that it can be from 500 to... hundreds of billions of dollars, taking into account not only state money, but also the money of russian oligarchs and figures on foreign blacklists of those russians who ended up there, who were close to the kremlin, who earned together with the kremlin, that is, on a large scale, now more and more voices are appearing that it is necessary not to wait, because earlier they said that this is money that should be spent only on the reconstruction, the post-war reconstruction of ukraine, now there are more and more voices that we should not wait and start unfreezing this money already now, however. what is important, american politicians clearly say, that this process should not replace american aid, that it should be two parallel processes and the unfreezing of russian money and, nevertheless, voting here in congress for the ukrainian package. i've been interested in these days, and this morning, how things are going, i understand that you and our

viewers have a curiosity, the first thing i heard from the strategic coordinator of the us secret service, john kirby, he says that the format of the package is still not determined, that is, regarding this, consultations are ongoing between the white house and the congress, on the sidelines of the congress, i was also interested, they said, that they first discussed the idea of ​​a joint package for israel, taiwan and ukraine at once, well, in order to gather more votes, because there is huge support for both ukraine and israel, they could combine it here. however, there are congressmen who are categorically against this, the other package that they are talking about, they are talking about 100 billion, which the biden administration may ask for up to 2024 by the end of the 24th, a big long package, there are also both supporters and critics, that is, by and large, there is now, you know, such a tough discussion between congressmen and communication between the white house

, in order to understand what and when this ukrainian package will be, however, that cannot be delayed, the administration declares, the same john kirby, who said that there is money, but it is not infinite, well here it is quote, regarding the funds for ukraine, we announced 200... we will send this aid while we can, but it will not be endless, we are nearing the end, well, i want to do it right away, i understand how this phrase can be used by propaganda, he says that we are approaching the end of those funds which reserved for ukraine, which are still in the budget, and thus, most likely, it is necessary to speed up, and there is about a month for both the administration and the congress, and ukraine, which communicates with congressmen and with the white house, everything after all, i have decided which one for which amount...' and when this ukrainian package will be approved. colleagues, kyiv. dima, thank you very much for the detailed and kind, for the good news and detailed story. this is our special correspondent in the united states, dmytro anopchenko, who was in touch. thank you. winter

is near, and blackouts are possible again in ukraine due to russian shelling. currently , it is quite difficult to predict the level and scale of attacks, as well as their impact on the energy system of ukraine, that is why. energy workers will react depending on the situation, the relevant ministry says. mykhailo minelyuk found out whether the country's energy system is ready and whether ukrainians will have communication and water. last year, a barrage of russian missiles and drones hit the ukrainian energy facilities. last fall and winter , ukrainians sat without light, heat, and communication for hours, and sometimes even days. the russians tried plunge ukraine into darkness, but we persevered. more than 1000 russian missiles. drones were launched by the russians at critical infrastructure sites starting on october 10 last year. more than

2.5 hundred hits, damaged or destroyed about half of the energy sector of ukraine. the world bank estimates our losses at more than 11 billion dollars. we have experienced the most difficult autumn and winter in history, but what will the new heating season be like, is our war-damaged energy system ready for new blows. are you and i ready? let's. about everything in order, therefore point one, and probably the most important - light. footage from last winter, when entire districts and cities turned into black spots at night, is it possible to repeat the situation? difficulties can arise, it is about 90%, due to attacks by drones and missiles, and not due to the state of the energy system itself. if the ppo cannot fight back in three areas, we have these three areas... will be hit so hard that one day's repairs will not do. last year, ukrainians

had to sit without electricity for hours or even days. in the ministry of energy they assure that, despite significant destruction , the energy system of ukraine was restored by 80%. we plan to restore everything as much as possible, in fact, they are mostly restored with reinforced concrete structures. in the ministry of energy, the electricity produced by ukrainian power plants is sufficient to meet the needs of consumers. so, if we imagine that russia will abandon its insidious plans to plunge us into darkness and cold, we will be able to get through the coming winter much easier than the previous one. so point two. do you remember how we had to do it? to sign up for water in advance, fill up in bottles, stand in long queues at pump stations and filling points, freeze in your own homes, then the water utilities and

heating plants, whose operation directly depends on the supply of electricity, were simply not ready for a blackout, but are they ready now? alternative sources, alternative generators for water supply is a must, and as far as i know, the government has been very active in this, local, local authorities. all this was under the control of the president of ukraine. these are the generators installed at water intakes in mukachevo, thanks to them, water will be able to reach people's apartments even on the ninth floor, if there is no light. the regional centers are definitely ready, well, that's how i see such a trend that they are standing in the districts, here are these generators. there will be water, don't worry. as for generation, first of all thermal generation, the situation is somewhat worse here , probably by 60. by 70 percent, because after all, the biggest blows fell on heat

and thermal energy in our country, and what about the communication of the network last winter , as they said, it was easy then fell down after the russian attacks, and problems arose at once with all ukrainian operators, it was impossible to call relatives, the mobile internet did not work, there is a certain risk of a repeat of the situation, the national commission that carries out the state conducted unscheduled inspections of mobile operators in the field of electronic communications. violations were found in all of them. the representatives of the companies themselves assure that they are ready for possible blackouts. we buy stationary generators, install batteries, buy mobile generators and worked primarily on ensuring the communication of our support network. of course, we would like to say that ukraine is 100% ready for the new heating season. but let's go. don't forget the damage the russians inflicted on critical infrastructure last year, so

it will be absolutely necessary for each of us to take care of our personal protection. a power bank, preferably several, lanterns and candles, water supplies and warm clothes. all this may very likely be needed by us and this land, with faith in our energy workers and the forces of pppo, mykhailo maneliuk, gennadiy anikeyenko, details, intermarathon tv channel. the only ones news. and just at this moment , an air alert was announced in three regions, mykolaiv, kherson and donetsk. please do not ignore the danger, wait for the retreat in the shelters. thank you. you for this, important infrastructure objects should be protected by the paladin mobile system, which ukraine will receive from great britain, air force spokesman yuriy ignat said. the british drone hunter is equipped with an artificial intelligence tracking system that can even recognize birds. hits targets at a distance of up to 2 km in any weather,

requires only two operators. one is responsible for inspecting the whole, the other for their destruction. boris johnson promises to do everything possible to ensure that support for ukraine does not decrease, no matter what. in an exclusive interview for the inter tv channel, the ex-prime minister of great britain told what weapons kyiv will never receive from the west, is the world on the threshold of the third world war, and is he ready to move to ukraine himself? from london, boris johnson's conversation with svetlana chernetska. thank you for your time, and i'd like to start with what now that the war has been going on, almost two years, have you had time to assess what the west could have done differently at the start of a full-scale invasion to end the war sooner? so what we needed to do was to be much tougher in 2014. i understand that

this is not an easy answer, but we should never have accepted what putin had the right to take away. syria in 2013 and we had this ineffective normandy process from 2014 to 2022, and it was a disaster, so we had to prevent the future of ukraine , a free democratic country, from being entrusted france, germany, russia and ukraine, and russia and ukraine were considered equal partners in and before the start of the war in the period until february 24, what could we do? i think it was already too difficult to do anything, because putin had already written his essay, he made up his mind, he saw that the west was indecisive, he saw his chance, and i don't

think he believed, you know that better than me, he already believed that he would win, he completely underestimated ukraine. but when he started to prepare and had battalion tactical groups on the ground, i don't know that we could to do because ukraine was not in nato, this is another thing that we should have done, this is a mistake. and in your opinion, should there be any restrictions on what weapons and ammunition the west gives to ukraine? it is constantly changing, i am not a general, not a military man, but what i noticed from the conversations i had with volodymyr zelsky in the early days. war he told me, we need armored cars, we need tanks, so we gave armored cars and eventually we gave tanks, and i think they are very useful, but technology changes and now tanks are dropped from drones, you need drones and other technology. i believe that long-range atakams fire is needed now , i believe that we need systems to get the russians out of

their foxholes, we need depikams, we need means that the ukrainians can advance, because it is difficult now, these trenches are the horror of the first world wars, and we must find a way through them. you have always advocated the provision of fighter jets and long-range ammunition, but is there anything that the west will definitely never give to ukraine. until ukraine becomes a member nato, the west will not offer a nuclear umbrella, that's obvious, but that time has to come and rightly so, in the meantime we have to give all the technological solutions, drones, intelligence, i won't give away state secrets, but great britain is doing a lot and i am very proud of the technical assistance we provide, you were one of the first western leaders who came to ukraine in the first months of the war, were you scared at all, i

was not. my answer, i wasn't scared at all, i just thought that the chances of what something would go wrong was very small and i had a lot of confidence in the ukrainian guys and girls, the people who organized the trip, they were fantastic, the railway, they were great and they gave me great food on that train, it felt like it's a normal trip, it was like the orient express, worth a rocket today to spoil your trip. yes, the rocket could have ruined my morning, it wouldn't have been that bad, but it was really interesting, it would be considered very difficult to hit a moving target, unbelievable, right? i wasn't afraid, people volodymyr zelenskyy were great, the thing is, when we first met, when i arrived in april, it seems he didn't go out much, if at all, because of

security issues, but we both knew, because we're both politicians, that we had to to go out, but his security service was excellent, they made it a reality, so you became friends with volodymyr zelenskyi? why we met with him many times, i instinctively sympathized with ukraine, because i had been there before. volodymyr zelenskyi did an incredible job of organizing opinion and with he's a pleasure to work with, i think people say we have a similar past. are you still in touch? yes, i saw him a few weeks ago, recently, at a very good conference in kyiv, i probably shouldn't say how we keep in touch, but we his... here we'll smoothly transition to the fact that you were a brexit supporter, but do you think that ukraine should become a member of the eu and why? we were right to leave the eu and we

will do just fine outside the eu, but for ukraine i think the eu will be a good thing if you can get the right deal and you will be able to have free trade. for ukraine , the advantage of eu membership is that it shows the fate of ukraine, that it is a fundamentally european country. it's moving towards democracy, free trade, human rights, the rule of law - those are big things, and the eu is part of that package, so i think it's different for ukraine than it is for us, but even more important if i had to choose one or the other, as a ukrainian, i would choose nato first. but we will not become members of nato in the near future, so what should we be security guarantees from the event. i hope. that the washington summit in june next year will offer categorically what was failed in vilnius, which is to invite ukraine to join nato, we must do it right

now, because we tried what it would be like when ukraine is not a member of nato, and it led to the worst war in europe in 80 years, how long do you think the war will last? i don't know, the most important thing now is that i think ukraine won. i think it will happen, and if it happens in the 24th year and not in the 23rd year, then nothing, we just have to continue to support and provide the necessary assistance, what i don't want to see is a weakening of western resolve, what is happening in israel is absolutely terrible, but it is part of the same phenomenon, it is aggression against sovereign territory, zelensky's statement, what about that was very kind, we must support israel, unequivocally, but we must also support ukraine. do you think russia gave the green light to war in israel? russia is not in it, it is iran. but it will play into the hands of russia, because the world will shift its attention. it

true, but don't give up. we should not give excuses to the world to do this, he must continue to receive attention on ukraine. but obviously, with war-weary, ammunition hunger, action is needed. i'm sorry, but israel does not need ammunition, militarily israel has everything it needs and will always have according to the laws of congress, israel is guaranteed the support of the usa, but we must do everything possible so that ukraine also has all the military equipment it needs. is there a possibility that the war in ukraine, the war in israel will lead to more armed conflicts in the world, maybe even. to the third world war. i definitely think the good guys and the bad guys are starting to line up on opposite sides,

but i don't think it's going to lead to world war iii. i think they are two different things. you and i met at the london conference on ukrainian reforms. it was quite a long time ago. yes, we have known each other for a long time. it was a historic event, i made it up, it was when i was... foreign secretary, what can you say about the work that was done since then i think a lot of progress has been made, but my impression is that it is still not enough. going back to when you were the minister of foreign affairs, you said that you were a russophile. you have russian roots, but from the current position, looking at everything that has happened, has your attitude changed? i am still a russophile, i still admire the language, culture, russian civilization, only a fool will not

admire, i am very sad. as for what is happening now, i think it would be silly to pretend that the russian people are not supports this war and it is a tragedy. what will be the future of russia, in your opinion? what matters is the future of ukraine, it is a country that was attacked and it is ukrainians who need our support. ukraine must be free and ukraine must be independent. ukraine must choose its own destiny. our time is up, but the last question i would like to ask is about the royal family, it was very interesting to see so much support for ukraine, was there any discussion about how they would express their opinion, after all, the royal family is trying to stay away from political issues, a very interesting question, i think that sincerely all this came from the king, from the prince of wales, they feel that way, and they can say about it, because the ukrainian issue has the support of all parties, and not only parties, the whole country , as far as i am concerned, still

strongly supports ukraine. thank you very much for remaining a supporter of ukraine and for your support. i'm doing my best, thank you. these were the main news of the day, take care and see you soon. talkers bringing victory closer help the child not to fall into a trap on the internet. the first and most important rule is to talk to your children about cyber safety. do not be a controller and do not forbid, be an adult who helps the child and
