on the air, we are ukraine and ludmila dobrovolska and ihor pupkov are with you. now we will summarize this saturday, and we plan to talk about this. the enemy is attacking almost along the entire front line. how the armed forces hold the defense near avdiivka and in the kupyansk-lymansk direction. will blackout be 2-0, or will the russians catch a lick again. the partners will provide us with additional power supplies, and the ukrainians themselves are already heating up the generators and taking them out. banks, they know every path in their cities and villages and make the ground burn under the feet of invaders and traitors. we talked with the partisan from an occupied city in southern ukraine. the occupiers are advancing on avdiivka with a wide front. about 2,000 of their soldiers, dozens of armored vehicles and aviation were used to attack it. there are also types of anti-aircraft guns, they drive in tanks, attack from helicopters and groups of infantry

at the same time. the russians bombard the city with guided aerial bombs and pour fire around the clock. in addition to the armed forces of ukraine, there are still about 15 ukrainian civilians in avdiivka. how do the armed forces of ukraine contain the enemy? and what is the situation in other directions? lyudmila gavryliuk will tell. for the fifth day in a row, the enemy has been continuously storming avdiivka such intensity. the city did not see any action during the entire nine years of the war, huh, it was hard, hot, very hot, the enemy does not stop his actions, dozens of assaults are taking place per day, in total both from the south and from the north of the city, well arta in general, let's say

this, does not shut up, around the clock, and in principle , shooting battles are also, in principle, well, there is almost no break, well, there is no such thing yet. columns of equipment and personnel are climbing from all sides to break through the ukrainian defense and surround the city, the infantry is covered by aviation, they continuously bomb both the positions of our military and residential areas, and use the prohibited phosphorous. a lot of drones are working. rockets almost always hit high-rise buildings, well , mostly they try to hit precisely such densely built-up areas of the city, there are still people under the rubble, and they died there. three enemy battalions stormed avdiyivka, say the military. the russians constantly use all available weapons, drones, artillery, tanks, russian air force and aviation, the city is practically erased from the ground, making his second bakhmut. the enemy urgently needs some kind of sign.

victory, the victory that he will show, well, to his electorate, as a turning point in the war, and despite such intense fighting , the defense forces hold positions around avdiyivka and inflict significant losses on the enemy, the count has already reached tens of units of destroyed equipment and hundreds, and sometimes thousands of killed occupiers . the enemy's efforts are currently unsuccessful, in four days of intensifying hostilities, more than 300 units of military equipment were destroyed in the brand... direction, and the total losses of the enemy in lives forces of more than 3,000 people, during the same time soldiers from osuv tavria destroyed 58 russian tanks and two su-25 aircraft, more than 30 more tanks, these are only enemy tanks, we damaged, the so-called meat assaults and assaults in kupinsky direction, in groups of up to a hundred

soldiers, they climb up to our positions several times in order to move forward and in vain. now the enemy has already become more active near sinkivka, makiivka, and serebryansky forestry, continues due to a large concentration of manpower and equipment, tries to find a gap and break through our defenses, however unsuccessfully, our defenders already know how to act in such extreme conditions. at the institute for the study of war, they say that the enemy is trying to stretch our forces along the entire front line, in particular, to divert the attention of the ukrainian defenders from the robots, which is why they climbed forward. one of the enemy's goals, in particular the intensification of combat operations in the kuplinsk direction, previously in the lymansk direction, and now in the avdiivsk direction, may be, let's say, to draw attention to the front line and disrupt reserves in order for the enemy to try to fulfill its the tasks set, this is both access to the administrative offices

of donetsk and luhansk regions, and the prevention of further success of force defense. but even despite constant shelling and assaults, ours continue to advance, there is success. to the south of bakhmut, there we knock out enemy positions and entrench ourselves on them. there, the enemy continues to retreat with battles. our guys are securing themselves at the achieved boundaries, every day it is from dozens to hundreds of liberated meters with hard battles, but success there is constantly coming and our movement does not end there. now the most attention is focused on andriivka and klishivka. the enemy does not stop trying to constantly recapture his lost positions there. but in vain. our armed forces continue to advance in the direction of melitopol. there, the enemy unsuccessfully tried to regain the lost position near the robotino. now the situation at the front is difficult, but under control. the initiative is in our hands. ludomyla havrylyuk, we are ukraine, marathon one news. the situation in

the kupyan and lyman areas has significantly worsened. the russians are attacking in the area of ​​makiivka. the armed forces give the aggressor a worthy retribution, the occupiers carry significant. losses and essentially cannot advance - says the commander of the eastern group of troops oleksandr syrskyi. now he is on the front line. heavy fighting continues, the main goal of the enemy is the defeat of the grouping of our troops, the encirclement of kupyansk and the exit to the border of the oskil river. every day , the enemy carries out dozens of attacks by the forces of assault groups with the support of armored vehicles and will introduce dense mortar and artillery fire on our positions. oleksandr syrskyi, commander of the ground forces of the ukrainian armed forces. well, next we have the address of the president of ukraine. let's listen. i wish you good health, dear ukrainian men and women, this week is coming to an end, a papoo week for ukraine. reinforcement week.

before winter, this is a key priority, and it is time to thank partners for new support decisions, this week's decision the netherlands negotiated with mark ... fierce in odesa, the decision on additional missiles for the patriots, support for our land operations and maritime export corridors, there are also the defense package that was announced at ramstein, thank you very much, there are packages from spain, packages from britain, norway, finland, thank you, germany, the joint defense package of the czech republic and our friends from denmark. thanks to all the leaders for fulfilling our agreements with them, except. of additional missiles for air defense, there will be new narrow installations, we are working on various types of systems, there will be spare parts for systems that ukraine already uses, of course there will also be artillery, shells, primarily drones, armored vehicles, all the leaders who help us

are fully informed about the current situation on the battlefield, the world understands why is russia preparing and what terrorist moves can it plan' we also know how to respond to the occupier and will respond powerfully. before the ramstein meeting in brussels, there was a good, much needed meeting with secretary austin and the new head of the us military, general brown. a clear confirmation of ukraine's support, a clear readiness to strengthen our actions together and continue to put pressure on the occupier both in the fall and in the winter, and by the way, the united states, in ramsthalna. announced their co-chairmanship in the f-16 coalition together with the netherlands and denmark. an important decision. thank you very much. excellent negotiations took place with the belgian government. we are grateful for belgium joining our f-16 coalition for its leadership in

the use of frozen russian assets. this is a really necessary step, it was belgium that became the first country to send funds generated by russian assets to ukraine, we are working with other eu countries around the world so that they use the aggressor's funds exactly as it will be fair, to protect against aggression. separately, i want to mention the conference in croatia that took place this year week regarding humanitarian demining, almost a third of our territory is in danger, due to mines, shells that have not exploded. it is obvious that global support is needed to clear our land of russian mines, and now in croatia there were conference participants, and it is precisely with regard to this problem that more than 40 countries and international organizations have new decisions on support for demining. i thank each

country that joined. at a time when terror is spreading around the world, it is important that the world gives the most unambiguous... signal that protection will not weaken from terror. of course, our soldiers are in all directions, where avtivka, maryanka, the key point to... klischivka, kurdyumivka, andriivka, saromayorske, of course, the kupyan direction, zaporizhzhia region, orihiv, robotyne, verbove, are especially hot now. novoprokopivka, thank you to everyone who is holding positions, destroying russian troops, every day of these battles is a life, a life that is given for the sake of our state and it is the life of the whole of ukraine, which is saved every day, every night, by every successful person. fight, it is so important, glory to you, warriors, glory to ours people, thank you to everyone in the world who

helps us, glory to ukraine. recently , russia has concentrated its airstrikes on the objects of the grain industry in the south, but the missiles and long-range aircraft of the invaders are saving and stockpiling in order to start the energy terror of ukrainians again in the winter. both the president of ukraine and the secretary general of nato say in one voice that the russian attacks of this will be even more powerful and even larger, but this year we have already prepared well. ukraine is building three levels of protection for its energy facilities, including against direct hits. they are added to us every month new pppo systems, but will they be enough? the closure of the ukrainian sky on the eve of winter was almost the most important topic that was discussed in brussels by representatives of more than fifty countries. what did the president come back with? olena chernyakova will tell. deceptive silence for more than 21 days without massive

tatak missile drones. is russia gathering strength before winter? unfortunately, we are once again in the battle for electricity. last year, the russians' plan to plunge us into darkness failed, but they are preparing the next one - says the president. they have iranian drones and their own missiles, even despite the sanctions. ukraine needs consolidation of efforts to protect the sky in order to be personally convinced of this. the president is going to brussels. surviving the winter is a big one for us, one of the biggest challenges, but in any case , we are preparing, we are ready, and now we need support, that's why i'm here. negotiations behind closed doors with the head of the us pentagon and the secretary general of nato, and for the first time the personal participation of volodymyr zelenskyi with the ministers of defense. in ramstein format. now we need a step forward in our

air defenses. anti-aircraft defense for ukraine will be a victory for life in ukraine and a defeat for russia. and unlike last year, when already during this period the enemy massively hit substations and power plants throughout ukraine with dozens of missiles, now there is silence. but the event acts in anticipation, and not in response, as last year, at least, so it seems, and the statement of the leaders. he doesn't go. putin is once again preparing to use winter as a weapon of war. air defense is of crucial importance for the protection of cities, economy, and critical infrastructure of ukraine. in addition to statements , we have, more importantly, practical results. by as a result of the 16th ramstein, we will receive aid of more than 500 million dollars, of which 200 million will come from the united states. includes short-range missiles, ammunition for hymers, anti-tank missiles, shells and equipment to counter russian drones. thus america's total liabilities are approximately $43 billion since the beginning of putin's war. i am proud that this coalition of

approximately 50 countries of goodwill from around the world has come together to provide over $33 billion in security assistance to ukraine. new packages were announced by britain, germany, denmark, spain, canada, norway, above all, it is about strengthening air defense. six sam launchers from spain, at least two complex. gepard anti-aircraft systems and the patriot system from germany, nasams twin systems from lithuania and an anti-drone system from britain, as well as anti-aircraft missiles from norway and bulgaria. russian invasion of ukraine is not a regional conflict, it is not only a problem of ukraine. we feel our responsibility in supporting ukraine against this aggression. this is not the first time that a romanian has publicly announced aid to ukraine leader, during the president's visit to the country, his details are to be announced at a joint meeting of the governments of romania and ukraine next week.

this will be the 17th package, before that there were 16 packages of romanian weapons, for almost a billion dollars, they were talking about a new package, they were talking about ppo in the context of the odesa region. that is where the russians are fighting to block the alternative grain corridor. in addition to strengthening the skies, the partners promise to provide more ammunition and artillery. it is very important that there are no pauses, it is necessary to understand the principles of effective defense and understand that defense should not allow the enemy to stop and recover, to choose... new tactics, russia has lost the initiative today. at the front , it is necessary to prevent at least shell starvation in the winter, and whether nato countries are ready to transfer their countries to military rails for the production of shells. nato has stepped up production, we now have $2.4 billion in what we call framework contracts

to increase ammunition production, $1 billion of which are contracts, and we are constantly working to increase production. last year, the russians spent more than $7.5 billion on nearly 1,000 missiles and drones for energy attacks. and in the end , they did not achieve their blackout plan. but most likely, this year they will try to take revenge. olena chernyakova, maksym khlopotov. we are ukraine marathon, only news. the president discussed preparations for winter and the protection of infrastructure and energy from russian terror with the military. law enforcement officers and regional authorities in odesa. it was about preparing for the heating season, which the russians will also try to disrupt this winter, about the consequences of russian attacks on ports and the needs of pppo systems. zelsky says that some countries will provide us with air defense systems especially for the winter period. well,

there it is in odesa, during his unannounced visit, missiles for patriot systems. and patrol boats that will guard the grain corridor in the black sea, we were promised by the prime minister of the netherlands, mark rutte. he assured that the war in israel and gaza will not stand in the way of supporting ukraine. i know that putin expects that he will sow discord in europe, he is nothing can do we are preparing a new meeting of advisers on national security issues, regarding the implementation of our peace formula , the netherlands is working on... the point of the formula - restoration of justice, we also discussed the strengthening of sanctions against russia, but we see the need to take further steps much faster to limit russia's ability to finance this war, and the netherlands will provide us with more than 100 million euros of aid, including for the restoration and provision of energy security on the eve of winter, with this money

they will purchase gas and materials for power supply, and in the near future, amsterdam will also receive additional ammunition , all this was announced by the prime minister of the netherlands during a meeting with volodymyr zelsky, and they also talked about the prospects of the f-16 coalition, in which the netherlands plays a leading role, separately emphasizing the need speed up the transfer of frozen russian assets for compensation destroyed by the occupiers and for ukraine's reconstruction projects. to date, the netherlands has already provided 2 billion euros to kyiv. to protect against russia. ukrainian energy facilities 76 million euros irrevocable aid was provided by germany, they will be spent on engineering protection of substations, installation of autotransformers and modernization of the network on the border with europe, all to improve the reliability of energy supply to ukrainian homes. but today is already october 14 and from monday they promise a noticeable cooling. so when they

start connecting us to heat, the regions that are at risk are ready for the earth. vlada tsymbalenko knows what to expect this winter. russian terrorists launched more than 750 rockets and the same number of drones over ukraine during the past heating season. then the lesions all thermal power plants suffered more than 40% of high-voltage networks in kurenergo. the energy system has never experienced such large-scale destruction. there were 271 hits during the course, well, this is a different kind of test, there it is a missile, and drones, and artillery, if you count. it is already much more, somewhere around 300 plus, but experience has come with disaster , thermal generation facilities have already been repaired by more than 70%, work is not stopped, local authorities are preparing for various scenarios, since most likely the coming winter will not be easy

will be, this winter russian terrorists will again try to destroy our power grid, usually the heating season in ukraine starts on october 15, but the exact date depends on the weather, the heat in homes is turned on if the average daily temperature is below 8° for three days, and this year autumn is quite warm in the capital, heating has already been turned on in 61 institutions, schools, hospitals, and kindergartens. during preparation for winter , more than 2,000 damages to heating networks that could happen in winter were eliminated, trained by the experience of kyiv prepare for force majeure themselves. we also have gas vodka, we have... different batteries, diode tapes, that's it, all that remained , it wasn't even removed yet, medical facilities in lviv also began to be connected to the heating system, currently there are five of them, as reported in lviv the city and region are 100% ready for energy. full readiness is declared in ternopil, as well as in most central and western regions, but closer to the front , the situation is worse. we cannot compare

the frontline regions with the rest of ukraine. the most difficult situation in the kherson region and kharkiv region. after all, they are under regular shelling from the russians. currently, kharkiv is ready for the cold weather, the mayor assures, and admits that there are problematic districts. they will not heat up. there are 57 residential buildings in the city, 57, including kyivskyi district, where saltivka is located, and salttovskyi district, so kharkiv residents are preparing themselves, buying generators from private houses, and residents of apartment buildings keep supplies from last winter ready, and power banks we have been buying gas cylinders for a long time, as soon as the lights were turned off, we bought gas burners. in the kherson region also complicate the preparation of shelling of heat supply enterprises, so they will not be able to centrally heat the entire region.

fuel, lubricants, wood are very much needed, and we appeal to everyone, so that in those settlements, these are 30 settlements, which are currently without electricity, we want to provide at least these residents, and odesa is preparing for a difficult winter. our boiler rooms are equipped with generators. we have a supply, fuel, we have a supply, pipes, pumps, well, that is, any materials we may need, kindergartens and schools have also provided alternative sources of energy, or in the case of a long absence of light , it was possible to heat the premises, for the winter season ufos were purchased, ufo heaters, we have two baleryans that you see in our dining room, we have a stock of drow. we have lanterns. in general , throughout ukraine, more than 99% of housing and communal services facilities are ready for the heating season, according to the ministry of infrastructure. at the same time

, preparations are being made to protect civilian objects from possible attacks. as stated in the ministry of defense, by this winter ukraine has maximally increased the number of mobile air defense groups for fighting drones. vlada tsymbelenko, iryna antonyuk, olga dunska. mi ukraine marathon only news. pairs of drones from abroad at the same time or combined attacks of drones and missiles that muscovites are preparing for us in winter? as a matter of fact, it is easier, and definitely cheaper, than spending expensive missiles to shoot down our pppo with ukrainian drones. but the production of deadly iron in moscow does not stop even for a minute, they produce dozens of cruise missiles of the caliber and a little less iskanders per month, of course, they would like more. but what they are producing will be enough to keep neither the ppo nor you and i awake, and while we are constantly increasing our ppo, can we talk about a certain crisis in the russian

military industry, darina dobrovolska found out. the russians launched half a thousand drones on the territory of our country, in just one and a half months, the main strikes in the south, port infrastructure, granaries. do not harm ours. imports, the economy, and most importantly - to blackmail the world with hunger, the meanness of the russians is no longer even surprising. they launch up to fifty drones per flight, and recently also from different directions, so the enemy is once again trying to complicate the work of our air defense. this is jonkoi, and chauda, ​​and primorskokhtarsk, as well as the north, from us it is bryansk. regions are usually launched from there by shaheds, well, that's about four, five, maybe six directions, beginning where the first wave, second, third, and shaheds actually circle and also travel in

different directions. the russians are trying to establish their own production of kamikaze drones, they are called geran-2. it's almost an exact copy of the iranian hd-136, only a few details differ, their wreckage has already been studied by our military. deliveries from iran to moscow do not stop either. military experts previously told us that the iranians were producing an average of 50 drones a month before the full-scale invasion, up from 250 now, the advantage of this type of weapon being cheaper and easier to manufacture. they, at the expense of drones, compensate for scarce and expensive cruise missiles, such as the krmb caliber or k-101.55, in comparison, for example, with air-based cruise missiles, it depends from modification. 5-7 million dollars, and one shahet is 40,000 dollars on average, its price, that is, 50 shahets have a significant and

effectiveness of breaking through air defense means. according to the central intelligence agency, as of the beginning of autumn, the russians had a little less than six hundred long-range missiles. missiles are more expensive, it takes longer and more difficult to manufacture them, so the enemy is forced to save. they are now stockpiling ammunition and have the appropriate capabilities, for example, if we are talking about k101-555 missiles, they can a day to produce somewhere around one and a half. missiles, well, a maximum of two, taking into account the possibility of restoring the repair of those that are not combat-capable due to preservation and restoring their combat capability. therefore, according to a military expert, since september 21, the day of the last massive shelling, the russian defense forces could have produced 30 to 40 new missiles. however , such production rates are not enough to repeat last year's scenario and release 100 missiles at a time. 20. 30, maybe 40

at once can be, i'm waiting because of the cold, there are -3 frosts, minus five, when what burning was not included, taking into account all these factors, the experts interviewed by us are convinced that the main shock element of the autumn-winter terror, this year will be the kamikaze drone, and not the cruise missile. rockets, well , they are used less if there are missiles that can be used at the same distance, using a slightly different method, yes, because this goal is completely different. the other, it has different tactical and technical characteristics, the speed is lower there and so on, but still, the shaket is a weapon that can also be used to attack critical infrastructure objects, military objects. to do it again show the world their terrorism, the russians will not let up, plunge us into darkness and leave us without light, but this year we are much stronger. daryna dobrovelska mokraina, marathon, single news. belgium will become the first country in the world to use frozen russian assets to support

ukraine. for this, a ukrainian fund of 1 billion 700 million euros will be created, this money will be used for macro-financial assistance, as well as for the purchase of military equipment, humanitarian support and rapid reconstruction. you won't have to wait long, income taxes from these kyiv will start receiving assets frozen in belgium next year. with details anna grishina. meetings of the contact group on ukraine. meeting of the ukraine-nato council at the level. defense ministers and separately the defense ministers of the alliance. all this at the bloc's headquarters in brussels. the key topic of the two-day talks: aid to ukraine. western partners once again proved that they support ukraine not in words, but in deeds, in the great war with the occupier. with russian money , belgium was the first in europe to create a special fund for our country from frozen funds in the eu russian assets. the assets themselves and the income from

them are the competence of the european union. we do not influence them, and taxes on the incomes we receive are our competence, and we decided that 100% of these revenues will go to the country together, that is 1.7 billion. in general, about 200 billion euros of the central bank of russia are blocked in belgium , they are kept by two european depositories, the german and most of them the belgian eurocli. in the eu, as deckrow noted, they have not yet found a legal way to confiscate all russian assets, but the profits from them are officially, corporately tax and according to eurocli's quarterly reports, the russian federation will not have any claims, because the profits from the funds officially belong not to moscow, but to the european company. we ukraine, the belgian depository refused to comment on the situation, but across the ocean the decision of brussels was approved. russia's illegal invasion of ukraine has caused untold human suffering and economic

damage. we must. continue to impose severe, escalating costs on russia and continue efforts to make sure that russia pays for the damage it has done. in the usa together with partners from the g7 countries are going to speed up joint efforts to transfer to ukraine another 300 billion russian dollars frozen in world banks, of which only 5 billion are in us financial institutions. following belgium, the procedure of confiscation of russian assets in favor of ukraine was initiated by estonia. the government agreed, now it's up to the local parliament. the british treasury has also instructed its central bank to consider means of extracting kremlin funds blocked in foggy albion. this week, the finance ministers of the great britain countries the g7 suggested that all member states do the same and transfer taxes from the kremlin's savings to the reconstruction of war-torn ukraine.
