met with ukrainian journalists. they are fired upon, but they work, the indomitable kherson farmers, despite the war, the occupation, the blowing up of gas stations, the impossibility of selling what they have grown, do not lose their optimism and believe in the best. special report from kherson region. so, first of all, fresh reports from the general staff of the armed forces. today, more than 50 combat clashes took place in different areas of the front. in addition, the enemy launched six rocket and almost four dozen air strikes. in the kupyan direction , our soldiers repelled 16 attacks by krashists. three the collision took place in bakhmut district. near marinka, the ukrainian military stopped another 16 assaults by the occupiers. the invaders pressed unsuccessfully and seven attacks were repulsed in the avdiiv direction. instead, our soldiers continue a confident offensive in the direction of melitopol and south of bakhmut. also, during the day

, the ukrainian aviation carried out four strikes on the areas of concentration of russian units and their weapons. the air force command reports that last night the russians attacked ukraine from several directions. in general, the occupiers launched territory of ukraine one iskander ballistic missile, five kh-59 missiles and 12 attack drones. in particular, there were launches in the direction of kropyvnytskyi, myrhorod in poltava region, vinnytsia, khmelnytskyi and dnipropetrovsk region, it is known about the destruction of civil infrastructure. fortunately, there were no victims, but it is known about three victims, including one child in poltava oblast. our sky guards destroyed two guided air missiles and 11 rockets. our war correspondent oleg kornienko is working on the eastern front, he is now joining us live. i i congratulate you oleg, first of all we are interested in the situation around avdiyivka, you have a word.

congratulations ovena, indeed avdiyivka has once again found itself at the epicenter of the confrontation and in fact for half a week there have been really fierce battles , the russians for 10 years, seeing that they could not break through the avdiyivka defenses from both sides of donetsk region, decided to go to the flanks and take the city in okolitka, although it is true , in the last few days, the city itself has been more or less shelled. and artillery shells still decreased, although the city, they are constantly transforming, it is a city of 30,000 people, they turned into a ghost, but despite significant destruction, complete destruction, 1,600 people still live in the city, they do not really agree to the evacuation, and to leave the city, even during these last few days, when there were active battles and fighting in the city itself,

there is a lot of destruction in the city, and the russians destroyed high-rise buildings, and it is under the high-rise buildings that probably still remain , and in particular they are actively fighting from krasnogohorivka and from the side of vodyanyi, but these last days our military, after all, showed the russians who is the boss here and the russians, who tried to go on avdiyivka and surrounding it with columns, in the same place in the ukrainian lands were simply burned. in addition, the situation remains quite unstable... the kupyan direction was still moved, despite the fact that , according to the general staff, 16 skirmishes took place there, we must not forget that one skirmish can last for several hours, and it is not easy one shot, and it can work simultaneously with the artillery and aircraft, which i literally observed yesterday in that direction, the enemy aircraft was very active and actively dropping aerial bombs, the enemy is also not silent cannonade and in the bakhmut direction itself,

despite the fact that we have certain successes there, it is very difficult to liberate ukrainian land. the russians abundantly cover our defenders with artillery shells. the enemy uses their artillery quite often, but it is inappropriate, their plan of action is scorched earth, they do not look for exactly where the target is, they do not save their ammunition, they have scorched the earth squarely, for these almost one and a half years of full-scale war the russians are actively learning along the entire front line, they are actively launching drones into the sky they train our army a lot, because it is these drones, they hunt ours, as well as the infantrymen themselves, as well as heavy weapons, besides, the russians' tactic is to hit the carpet with carpets

, destroying everything around, in fact, the day before i talked and worked, in fact for a day spent with our artillerymen of the rubizh rapid reaction brigade, they destroy both non-enemy equipment and the occupiers themselves every day, although for greater efficiency and faster victory, they need help, you will see on the screens qr-codes and card number, and the guys collect them for drones, actually about a day for artillerymen, and how it is here on the front line, then i suggest you watch my story. along broken roads and dirt roads in almost complete darkness, we rush to the artillerymen, because during the day it is simply impossible to enter the place, the camp is forbidden, the enemy is constantly

on duty with drones, reconnaissance drones are flying , we simply won’t get there during the day, there are russian drones in the air even at night, so let’s go we have to without the headlights on, so what? will you drive in night vision equipment? yes part the road in the direction of bakhmut is still covered by enemy artillery, and under the glare of shots somewhere in the early hours of dawn, we do reach the artillerymen. but the fighters never contemplate this magnificent dawn, where the sun rises and everything is covered with fog , the occupied territory is already occupied, and shots are fired from time to time. small, compact, but skodas do a lot. here in these shots, such projectiles reach the enemy cannon and burn heavy equipment, and fry the russian infantry itself. it also happens that it hits the target from the first, from the first break, and that's it, the shooting is over. effectively and efficiently

, these gunners destroy the occupiers thanks to this small d-44 dove, and this is actually the 85-holibr shells for it, during the extreme. the russians lost their weapons and equipment. artillery calculation, just them, they had a change, we expected them. for this goal , the harmashi waited for two days. the russians have become extremely cautious and cover any of their rotations with dense fire from guns and aircraft, and our fighters are also harassed by drones. and you say, something is already flying, right? yes yes, they fly quite often, that is. russia provides 100% for unmanned aerial vehicles. at the same time, we simply freeze in position, because a reconnaissance drone or a kamikaze may buzz over us, there are dozens of them in the sky here. the internet is jammed and

they fly like that, burning positions. in communication with the national guardsmen, we use every second, at any moment they can receive a command to fire, the fighters say they can fire up to a hundred shells in a day, or they can sit without work at all, such is their specificity. we work every day, three times, three to five times we definitely run to work, we work, we work normally, but today the soldiers prepared unusual shells for the enemy, and i, these are the artillerymen of the national guard of ukraine, want to congratulate... the niece of our comrade in arms on her birthday. the girl is 8 years old, but our defenders say that it was precisely for the sake of the children and their future that they left their homes and changed civilian life to frontline life. half a day of waiting and

the gunners receive the command to battle, received targets, literally just a few seconds, and the first shells will already fly to the enemy side. shot, one by one the fighters raise shells and cover the russian positions, the invaders gathered their forces and tried to go on the offensive. these are the names, yes, yes, yes, a shot, precisely thanks to the drones of the harmashi immediately... and they see chichichis at the target, they don't have enough copters, so they ask the rear to help with the collection, because the destruction of the enemy is the business of the whole nation. shot. i will spend almost a day with the gramashes of the border rapid response brigade. on this

day, the guys fired only a few shells, but this happens extremely rarely - say the fighters, and i can also get away from the gunners only under the cover of night, hoping that a russian drone. they won't see us with thermal imagers. oleg kornienko, yevgeny zadoe, zakhar komakh fact ictv, edina news. the latest scandals surrounding vlk, tsk, beating potential. those who are mobilized are led to believe that the archaic military system is gradually aging itself out, and partly discrediting itself, and the great war will speed up this process quite a bit. the biggest thing that scares potential defenders in the military is the lottery and the unknown, you don't know where you will be sent, your skills or abilities are few they are interested there. therefore, military brigades are increasingly recruiting fighters independently or through recruiting centers. this allows you to recruit a team of motivated... people, volunteers can choose not only a brigade, but also a position, recruiting agencies that were previously

looking for specialists for business or government institutions distribute vacancies in the army, they are the most diverse from a tanker driver to a clerk. on their website, you can independently choose a unit, position for service and send a resume. how military recruiting works and whether it can replace the old mobilization system through military mothers, khrystyna havrysh will tell. oleksandr is preparing for an interview for the most important job in his life. protect your country, your parents. this is already the second attempt, the first was on february 24, 22, the boy immediately joined the army. then they didn't take it, they said it was too small. they said, go study. well, i finished studying and that's all. he is 20. he interrupted his studies at the kyiv university of economics. can't sit in the audience while his future is being decided on the battlefield. parents are prophetic. i'm interviewing for military

service for myself, that's it, that's it, i'm ahead of you, this is one of the five recruiting centers of the legendary azov, the brigade selects its fighters independently, because they know the worst. to find yourself in a trench with someone who does not want and is afraid to fight, nothing is more decisive than motivation, there are less motivated people nowadays, but they are there, five men came here in an hour, it is not for you that you were given and taken away, the berets were given uniforms and after two weeks, they left me without anything, they didn't even tell me how to shoot from that machine gun, there is serious training and a serious attitude, here the guys choose not only a brigade, but also a position, a resume, a resume. desire, everything is taken into account, there will be a vacancy for almost every specialist, only

a third of combat positions. all people think that if they join the army, they will definitely be an infantryman, they will definitely storm the landing, but this is a myth for everyone, there is a place for everyone, and everyone can have their own purpose, from our experience for one infantryman there should be three rear guards, military units are increasingly recruiting people themselves, this is how the 47th brigade, which is not currently occupied by the occupiers, was formed from the south, a large-scale recruitment of volunteers was for the offensive guard, that is eight brigades. bright the third assault brigade is conducting a recruiting campaign. in kyiv, there are billboards at almost every step, there is a qr code, you can scan it and immediately see vacancies and submit an application. the brigade has recruiting centers in kyiv, lviv and dnipro. those who hesitate to become a stormtrooper are offered a trial week to get a feel for it. and army duhuko right hand and

testing of physical capabilities, rather, we help each other, out of 100% of those who attend the week of the attack aircraft, 60 percent report that they go home, collect reshes, the documents are already being returned as a recruit, kirill is already waiting for the registration, he came here because he is less afraid of the dangerous work of an attack aircraft than the unknown of the military. i didn't want to get a conditional summons somewhere on the street and go somewhere, because there was no choice , it is clear that sooner or later, well, almost every man in our country will serve in the army, according to the survey of the lobby x recruiting agency, precisely lotteries are the most feared in the military... men who still hesitate to join the army are also demotivated by the fact that

education, experience and skills are often not taken into account, this has also attracted the attention of recruiters, on the one hand we saw that people are looking for clerks and press officers, and on the other hand we see that people with experience in accounting, in the press service, managers find themselves in in the trenches or not in the trenches, but in completely different positions, then they proposed to one of the military commanders the idea of ​​posting vacancies on their website. no one has done this before, which means, which means you're going to post jobs, it's classified information, or there they did not believe that it was possible, because how would we get volunteers. but it worked, and now the platform has almost four hundred vacancies from various brigades and even the ministry of defense. positions from grenade launcher to bookkeeper accountant. the army is a big employer. the company has already employed approximately 2,000 people in the army, including roksolana. the girl is a psychologist by profession, but she did not

work for a day. judging at home and wanting to serve, i didn't know what i would do, what i wanted to do, what i had the experience for. and you you are sitting in what... in such complete chaos, and what and what to do in general, until she saw a vacancy in the international legion, where her real experience as a recruiter in the it sphere was needed, she sent her resume to the agency and successfully passed the interview directly with the battalion commander , now she communicates with foreign volunteers, helps them with registration, for example, they can’t, that somewhere there may need knowledge of the english language or recruiting experience, and well, that’s why it happened, well, in the tsc, i definitely wouldn’t have been told this, rather for all. military vacancies began to appear on other recruiting platforms, this understanding is maturing that recruiting for the army is the same as recruiting for work, 400-500 unique users per day, this is a huge number of people, and you can reach them and tell them , why it is cool to join

the army, it would seem like an ideal way of mobilization, but it is not only not wanted, but also inhibited, because in any. in this case , the volunteer will enter the army only through the tsk, there you will have to convince the military personnel to let them go to the chosen one department where you have already passed the interview. teams that independently selected a person give him a letter of recommendation, but they don't always pay attention to it. well, there are such situations when a person comes, says that he wants to go to azov, is super motivated, the military starts raking, telling that no, there are norms, there are parts with which we cooperate and under...' there, sometimes we have to fight for a person already after being thrown into another brigade, which is very difficult, recruiters who have been working with the military for nine months convince the ministry of defense of the need for systemic changes that will benefit everyone. we have certain instructions, because what needs to be changed specifically, and in order to simplify the process of mobilization, the process of transfers, the process

of layoffs, even the service, because all this in sum greatly affects people's wishes. to mobilize, to serve, and also on the effectiveness of the brigade, but so far the authorities do not hear this idea, and mobilization relies on an archaic system and methods that only discourage the desire to serve. khrystyna gavrish, ihor shatataylo, maksym kostenko, astv facts, the only news. in yesterday's elections, poland chose democracy, and this cannot help but rejoice when the world is divided between good and evil, democracy and dictatorship, partnership and betrayal. for ukraine. every victory of democracy is a great celebration, especially when it comes to your nearest neighbor. so, the national election commission today started publishing the first official results of the parliamentary elections. currently, the current party of power, law and justice is in the lead with over 37% of votes, the civil coalition has over 29% of support, the third way has 14.4%.

the turnout is record high, over 74%. let me remind you, a conservative party. and justice peace, led by yaroslav kaczyński, has been in power for 8 years, the country's president andrzej duda, its nominee, the main rival peace centrist civil coalition, it is headed by the former prime minister and former chairman of the european council, the well-known donald tusk, although the ruling party is in first place, it will not succeed in creating a majority in the legislative assembly, therefore tusk has already announced that together with partners from the third way bloc and with the left... is ready to form a new coalition. the political storm over poland is gradually subsiding, the leaders of the parliamentary races have been determined. the ruling law and justice party, according to exit polls, won almost 37% of the vote and retained the leadership, but it will definitely not be able to form a government on its own. we have to hope that regardless of whether we are in power

or in the opposition, we will implement our political projects so as not to betray poland. let's remember that there may be... difficult days are ahead, quite stressful, but we will continue our program, to do everything for poland. it seems poland is waiting for a coalition in the fall, but for the first time in eight years the ruling party may lose power, and the new coalition will be from the opposition forces, the civil coalition of donald tusk, the bloc of agrarians and liberals, the third way and the left, because although the final election results can be announced tomorrow, it is already possible predict approximate schedules in the diet. three opposition. the forces are likely to get a combined 248 seats, and 231 are enough to form a majority. donald tusk, whose party took second place, said. he was never so happy taking second place, because democracy won. this is one of the most wonderful days of polish democracy. i have no doubt that

this day will become a bright page in the history of poland, as the day that began a new era, the rebirth of the republic. the law and justice party of the current government practically lost the opportunity to stay in power, because even if it unites with the far-right, it will not have a majority. the nationalist confederacy party, which is the most anti-ukrainian, won significantly fewer votes than expected. in sum, pravo, and justice and the confederation gain only 212 mandates, so supporters of closer cooperation with the eu and democratic reforms are now also happy, the current government is authoritarian , limits freedom of speech, wants to subordinate the courts, the prosecutor's office has already been subordinated, as well as the police and special services, thousands of people are in power , who are not specialists, relatives, if the party of law and justice remained in power, then we would follow the path, i am not afraid of this word, of the russian or hungarian scenario, this

version of the polish coalition is the best for of ukraine, because now the opposition is the most pro-european political force in poland, they can help speed up ukraine's integration into the eu and nato. if the democratic opposition wins, polish-ukrainian relations will systematically improve. poland would be a table between ukraine and the european union, because it is important for poland that ukraine be a part of the european union and become a member of nato in the future. this is a key moment for our and international security. a warming in the relations between warsaw and kyiv is predicted soon, because the pre-election emotions of the polish politicians, and it will become easier to solve the most pressing issues, starting with the grain dispute. poland and the poles understand very well that ukraine is a very important partner for poland and that the situation in ukraine and the victory of ukraine in the war with russia is also a guarantee of security for poland, so i think

that there will be no major changes in relations between poland and ukraine after in case there is a change of power. and you should not worry that the attitude towards ukrainian refugees will worsen, because, according to political scientists, almost 80% of poles believe that it is necessary to continue to support ukrainians. however, it should be understood that the amount of assistance will decrease. what is currently offered to refugees may change in the future, social assistance, access to government institutions, offers may not be so generous in the future. until now, ukrainian refugees have the same rights as polish citizens, only they cannot vote in elections in poland. ukrainians have the same access to education and medicine as poles, and over time access to this help will be less and less. poles voted a lot. actively, at the precinct almost 73% of voters came, and this is a record figure for parliamentary elections in the history of poland. the citizens showed that

they were not satisfied with the current course of government, the reduction of human rights and freedoms, the confrontation with the european union and, more recently, with ukraine. i believe in change, there is a chance to change something for the better for the first time in eight years. i really hope that we will be able to do it. the poles also spoke clearly about the government's initiatives in the referendum. voted. against the sale of state property to foreigners, raising the retirement age, liquidation of the polish-belarusian wall and the admission of immigrants from the middle east and africa, but less than half of the voters voted, which means that its results are not binding, the ruling party thus tried to add points, but in an attempt to win more votes, they wasted not only their chances, but also state money and time, anna bol, ictv facts , the only news, today the second evacuation flight with ukrainians took off from tel aviv, reports the embassy of ukraine in israel, a total of 155 of our citizens are on board, the plane arrives in romania. meanwhile, israel

continues shelling the targets of terrorists and the hamas group in the gaza strip. the hours-long attack last night is being called the most powerful in the entire history of the conflict. israeli forces are awaiting orders for a ground operation. non-public talks on the release of the hostages captured by hamas militants during the bloodshed are ongoing. attack more than a week ago, there are nearly 200. iran, which had previously hinted that it might intervene in the war if the israelis did not stop the gas bombing, now said that hamas in exchange for an end air strikes is ready to release the hostages. us secretary of state anthony blinken arrived in israel today, for the second time in the last 5 days. the day before , president biden said that israel must destroy hamas, but preserve the path to the creation of a palestinian state for 5 million. palestinians living in gaza and the west bank. the white house assures that they will not lack the means to help ukraine and israel at the same time. in particular, it

will repeat again. the american president in one of his recent interviews. he pointed out, the united states is the most powerful nation in the history of the world, and who wouldn't want to do that? the secretary of finance of the united states confirmed this position. america is fully capable of supporting israel and meeting its military needs. also, america can and should meet the needs of ukraine, which opposes russia. especially given the fact that the american economy is currently in very good shape. and today , penny pritzker, the special representative of the united states for the economic development of ukraine, is visiting kyiv. let me remind you, she will monitor the implementation of reforms, the fight against corruption and establish contact between american and ukrainian businesses. last month, she was officially appointed to review progress in ukraine by the president of the united states, joe biden. today, priskyr had a number of productive meetings, including with president volodymyr

zelenskyi, the national anti-corruption bureau. by a specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office, specifically the fight against corruption, penny emphasizes - a significant step towards membership in the european union and the path to transparency, that both foreign investors and ukrainians themselves need. pritzker emphasized that she will often visit ukraine. you know, ukrainians strive for a transparent and prosperous economy, which must be integrated into europe, there are a number of demands from the european union. which should be done. your government has already created an anti-corruption structure and we want to jointly strengthen its independence. another of our tasks with the us passport is to help ukraine implement reforms that will attract more and more investments. at the meeting with pritzke , volodymyr zelenskyi emphasized that the visit of the american special representative is a powerful signal to the world and ukrainians. in particular, that the united states is ready to help ukraine pass the winter period and

protect critical facilities. infrastructure. the parties also discussed macro-financial stability for the next year of ukraine's recovery. zelenskyi is counting on the infusion of investments, first of all, into the energy sector. of particular interest is the participation of american companies in the reconstruction of the ukrainian energy system. this is relevant on the eve of the winter period, when the aggressor is expected to intensify attacks on objects energy infrastructure. in conversations about aid to ukraine with weapons, and especially now, when we have a kind of competitor for aid, israel, the mention of lendless often comes up. let me remind you that lendlis comes from the english words "lend" to borrow and "forest" to lease. this is a policy by which the united states supplies its allies with ammunition, equipment, food, and strategic raw materials, including oil products and material resources. in general, such assistance is free, although some equipment to the states after world war ii

still... they returned it. last may, as a sign of ukraine's support in the great war with russia, the united states passed the historic landless act, but it never came into effect. we decided to explain why he was needed and whether he fulfilled a special role assigned to him. watch oksana mykhaylova's special report. in may 2022, there is a noticeable ammunition shortage in ukraine. we need armed support for the event as early as yesterday. so when president biden signs it. ukrainians, it seemed like salvation. this is another important one a tool in the effort to support the government of ukraine and the ukrainian people in their struggle to protect their country of democracy from putin's brutal war. it was expected that the law would work as in the second world war, when the states supplied their allies without interruption and unlimited weapons, equipment, fuel, but

the modern law did not contain a list of equipment and weapons, as well as specific budget decisions, amounts of lend-lease, the years of the 22nd were indicated and the 23rd, and the lease did not work. first of all, the mission of the modern document is to give a clear signal to russia, that the states are ready to provide ukraine with the necessary weapons and equipment in this way , another task is to provide insurance for president biden, if there were suddenly not enough votes for direct aid to kyiv, because lendlease gives extended powers to the president of the united states to conclude direct agreements. with ukraine, in addition, at the time of lendlease's approval, there were upcoming elections to congress and the senate, so the white house played it safe, it was actually
