the borders of belgium, seems to be saved. hopeless, mostly civilians from natural disaster zones, because nato countries have not been at war for a long time, and now there are also patients directly from the battlefield, you know, how a pig will be fattened, and the skin will be peeled off there, my hands looked like that, only they were not cleaned, i'm clean, well, it's my son's lit up, despite the loss of an eye, partial hearing and the inability to get up from a wheelchair, serhiy laughs and jokes endlessly, both on the front line and thousands of kilometers away in a foreign hospital. i remember one day i laughed so hard. that the medrat came to us and asked, everything is fine, everything is fine, and she says, i'm just laughing so hard, i'm just having a headache, stormed the villages in the kherson region and cleared them of the enemy, serhiy's squad followed the scouts and freed them piece by piece the land for which he is fighting, we entered like ours, we they went in, they told us to go into the village and sort of take up the defense, okay, the russian

forces, they said, were leaving their positions even before the stormtroopers arrived and leaving behind dangerous traps, one of which serhii fell into. well, we went to arkhangelsk, like for an assault, and we went into a house and we, well, like, they say that a photocell, well, it’s a motion sensor, you go, you look at the stretch marks there and everything goes on, well , there’s nothing, but you go into the room and the avalanche explosion, i was just at the epicenter of the explosion, i just got a strong current, you know, i don't know how to put my finger in the socket . the fighter came to his senses in the dnipro, then kyiv, i remember how it hurt , i had such a feeling in my hands, you know , there were pieces of glass under the bandages, i had very strong noises in my head, plus my ears were full, well, that's it he has been in a hospital in belgium for a year, four wounded comrades have long since been discharged, serhiy is the only patient from ukraine, he is growing a bone in his leg, he thanks the hospital for its care by handing over a valuable souvenir with the autographs of his comrades at the front, he wanted to hand over flags

from his... comrades who asked convey, like, for the fact that they treated me like this and treat me very warmly, and they do a miracle, a miracle, honestly, next to serhiy, now the girl met him every year by chance, when they brought soldiers from ukraine, weak and infirm, the hospital was looking for volunteers to help overcome the language barrier, they were given to us by the hospital to come and steal, because they had just brought the military to the hospital in brussels, for that, in general, my mother had to come, because my mother is a translator, and my mother said, come with me, i have such a feeling was, but i don't know how to be this kind of person that i've been looking for all my life, but i'm telling you honestly , when a person realizes that he really found his other half, and i just saw a person, well, i didn't even see, well, such a person read karhoche's eyes, everything is connected here, i just looked her in the eye and i don't know how to even convey it. lydia knew that serhiy

for tsn 1.1. marathon, only news. the leaders of the european union supported the use of revenues from frozen russian assets for the benefit of ukraine, about the relevant discussion at the summit in brussels. writes the financial times. eu leaders approved plans to use billions of euros obtained from frozen russian assets to help ukraine and called on the european commission to provide proposals as soon as possible, such as do. it is expected that the legal proposals, the european commission may make as early as the beginning of december, the two-day meeting, which ended today, were accompanied by hellish disputes regarding ukraine. thus, hungarian prime minister orban has a new ally, the slovak prime minister. robert fitso, who also opposes aid to our country and sanctions against russia. however, the eu leaders in the final document also confirmed their intentions to work on future security obligations for ukraine, promised our

state to continue financial, economic, humanitarian, military and diplomatic support, as much as it will be needed, and instructed the chief diplomat of the european union to consult with kyiv regarding the eu's future obligations in the field of security and to report on the results of the negotiations already in december. they shot twice at the traitor and ex-people's deputy oleg tsarov committed an attempt, the fact that the incident really took place was confirmed by ukrainian intelligence, they refused to comment, but added that they would monitor his health. unknown persons attacked tsarev near the sanatorium in temporarily occupied yalta, where he lived collaborator, at midnight medics and the police started arriving there about injuries. the kremlin public were the first to report, later information appeared from his relatives, at the time shvadkoya's carriage arrived, the ex-regional was unconscious due to heavy blood loss, now he is in intensive care, in a serious condition, the russian fsb began to investigate the case,

let's remind you that oleg tsarev was convicted up to 12 years in prison for public calls for separatism, and even in the fall he was charged with treason, according to the investigation, in february on the 22nd, he illegally crossed the border of ukraine, and called to support the russian regime in the temporarily occupied territories. republicans want to consider aid to ukraine separately from other white house financial requests. the newly elected speaker of the house of representatives, mike johnson , said this in an interview with fox news the day before. johnson assured his colleagues that they are not going to leave ukraine. however, they want responsibility and accountability for the funds provided, as well as answers to the 12 critical questions they stated in the letter, which johnson handed the day before to president biden's national security adviser jake sullivan, what kind of questions are these and what will happen if the white house does not answer them, whether there will be enough

votes to continue aid to ukraine, we will ask tsn correspondent in the united states olga koshelenko, she is already in direct contact with the studio, olya, congratulations, so what kind of question is this. to the white house, this is the first question, and the second is why the republicans want to divide this aid to ukraine and aid to other countries, allies of the white house. happy holidays, really the day before, the newly elected speaker mike johnson spent several hours in the white house , in particular, he had a 20-minute meeting with the president of the united states, joe biden, but still he did not hand this letter with 12 questions to him, but to jake biden's assistant. salivano, the main thing we hear from both republicans and ukrainian mps , who spent this week in washington and had meetings here in congress, is that the republicans want to know what the ultimate goal of the war in ukraine is and what the plan is to achieve it. ,

that is, when and how, by what means the set goals can be achieved, not even the issue of accountability of funds, although speaker johnson also voices this issue publicly, but still the most important thing, as our people tell us. this is precisely the understanding of the projected duration and completion of the process, because the white house repeats this abstract phrase that it will support ukraine as long as it is needed, and the republicans want specifics. the day before, speaker johnson gave a long interview exclusive to the fox channel close to the republicans, where he said that his fellow party members are not going to leave ukraine on their own accord, but still for them, and this is fundamentally good for us, because there were other candidates, for example: jim jordan, who did not want to put the question to the vote at all, and therefore for us, speaker johnson is the best option, but in general, he does not refuse to put this issue to the vote, but he will have certain conditions, and he

is such a more moderate candidate who was able to unite the different wings of his such a controversial party. we cannot allow vladimir putin to win in ukraine, that's why that i don't believe he will stop. we are not going to abandon them, but we have a stewardship responsibility for the precious resources of the american people. we want to cooperate, we have to work together, but we owe it to the people to know what the plan is, what the money will be spent on, we need a report on the dollars we have already sent, these are not difficult questions, right? in that interview, johnson said republicans want to put the ukraine funding question to a vote separately from other white house requests, now the request from the white house for more than 105 billion dollars unites... ukraine, israel, taiwan and arrangement of the southern american

border. because in the white house, the administration believes that it will be easier to pass this money through congress. but the logic of the republicans is as follows: these are fundamentally different questions, and they should not be confused. i talked here with ukrainian deputies yehor cherniv and oleksandra ustinova, who spent a week in washington, so they have some insider information, and they assured us that this is the issue. distribution of aid various packages are being discussed, but it will not be of fundamental importance for us, a lot of people are fighting for the fact that, first of all, we were assured both in the senate and in the congress that the ukrainian package will be put to a vote, and if it is put to a vote, on it there will be votes for sure because we know for sure the democrat party will vote we met today with the democrat leader jefferson and for sure at least half of the republicans will vote for it the question is what will

the package look like some of them see that after all we still need to divide this package and vote either there, well, not all, not all four issues inside, ukraine plus the border, or ukraine plus israel, or ukraine plus taiwan or in some other way, on the other hand, we see an absolutely clear position on the part of the democrats, who say, no, we'll take it out in a package. the ukrainian deputies were assured that the issue of voting, funds for ukraine, is not a matter of a month or months, but of a week or weeks, and by november 17 the congress should adopt the budget as a whole, because the term of validity of the temporary budget coincides and the shutdown may to threaten again if the budget is not approved by this time and an agreement cannot be reached, saint. thank you for collecting all this information, tssn correspondent in the united states, olga koshelenko, about the meeting of the newly elected speaker of the house of representatives. johnson and president biden, there are pressing questions about the war in ukraine that

republicans are now addressing to the white house. goodbye correspondence education and not only in the government this week presented a bill that should improve the educational process. there, in particular, it is proposed already from next year no to recruit students for correspondence. what do they offer instead, what other innovations do they introduce in higher education, tsn correspondent inna bo. will tell now, broader powers for universities and students, that's how characterize the new draft law, which caused a great wave of discussions this week. this draft law has already been approved by the government, it has been registered in the verkhovna rada, although the full text is not yet there, but such changes are already being announced in higher education. after school, the authors of the draft law say, students are 17 years old, and not always understands who exactly wants to be, so they offer

to give him time to think. applicants are offered to choose a branch first, and then a specialty. so, for example, an applicant chooses a field of social sciences, and then after a year or two it is determined what he wants to be: a political scientist, sociologist or psychologist. in one of the oldest universities, the need for such an approach is understood, but how to implement it is not yet known. this is difficult to do. from the point of view that this is something new, absolutely, yes, we will look for partner universities in order to to share experiences and jointly realize something from these things. the student's educational load is measured in credits, it is not a loan from the bank, it is hours, one credit is 30 hours, this includes lectures, independent work and so on, so a student must receive 60 credits in a year. now there is an opportunity to study faster or

longer. if a student works, does not have time, he can take 30 credits per year, and get a bachelor’s degree not in four years, but in six, or vice versa, he has plenty of time and inspiration to master 80 credits each year, and on bachelor's studies for only three years. students liked this approach. it is similar in spain, it seems to me that we have to attend many classes to get a diploma. as a basis, they say, momon took the experience of the northern countries. europe, but in ukraine, this option , the opportunity to study faster or longer , is offered only to contract employees, but already announced in the ministry, contract employees will increase significantly. which will be less, but the state will pay extra to contractors, through so-called grants, about how exactly the state will pay extra to contractors, what will be the amount of these grants, and who will be able to study 100% on the budget, everything will be spelled out in the next draft law, which they promise to present

next month. just this year and only on the budget, more than 7.5 students enrolled in the correspondence form, this is the data of the ministry of education , now it is proposed to depart from this format and instead of the correspondence or evening form, enter remotely, but so that the student can choose the time and place for classes, no it is suggested to transfer people who have already started their studies in correspondence form to transfer to any other form, we are only talking about starting recruitment for remote, exclusively or partially full-time from the 24th year. this proposal caused the most discussions, but for the student iryna, she is now in her third year, this is not an innovation, she studies in correspondence form, which takes place in a distance format, the distance format and it is not so different from the correspondence format, the only thing you are not in constant contact with teachers, but at

one of the largest universities in the country yet they do not understand how to completely get rid of absenteeism in practice, in some specialties of our university correspondence is extremely necessary, because this is the institute of public administration of the civil service, where civil servants are trained and has only just started. the draft law on individual educational trajectories in the ministry of education is expected to be voted on and its innovations for new students will start working next year. rectors have a wish. all these ideas are very correct in themselves, but they have to be coherent, they have to be coherent, er, and they take time. in the ministry of education , everyone is reassured. this is not a bill that is mandatory in all its parameters. it expands opportunities for institutions of higher education and for students. not every university or institute will be able to expand opportunities, because their

number will decrease. the ministry of education says that they will continue to connect weaker institutions of higher education to stronger ones. and i already predict that in the next... 12 months there will be a decrease in 20 establishments in the country. inna bodner, tymofiy koshchii and igor siry tsn 1.1 marathon the only news. the roads of ukraine, today, as every year, wrote the radio dictation of national unity. the author of the text: shevchenko laureate kateryna kalytko, and the text is about picturesque corners of our country and cities destroyed by the war. but all roads lead home. who wrote the dictation and did ukrainians start using it more? in her native language, tsn correspondent olena matsyutska will tell. in different parts of ukraine, and sometimes in shelters, they gather for radio dictation. someone wrote a dictation before, and someone decided to do it for the first time. this is the first time, by the way, i have a debut today. and even those who read

dictations at school are worried, such as artur projdakov, one of the best teachers in the world according to the global teacher prize. you know, we have this idea that teachers can't be wrong, and that's why. i'm a little worried, but i think everything will be fine, and here is tss correspondent dmytro furdak, who not every year films how dictation is written, now with his godfather denis and his parents in the rainy mountains, but they have notebooks and pens, so they are ready to write. so, attention, roads of ukraine. the voice of dictation this year is oleksiy hnatkovskyi, this is his ivan dovbush, already says a catchphrase in the film. he's my mountains, i 'm the boss here, and whoever comes to my house and will rule how i should live, will spit out his piss . the roads of ukraine are tangled threads of love. employees of 1.1 media also bow to dictation. top managers recall their school years. it is interesting to watch colleagues, how after writing they start asking questions, and how you wrote, how you wrote there, such warm

memories from childhood, well, from school. the group 1.1 media started to popularize the language project plus ukrainian. a forum was held today with the informational support of the group. ukrainian is the language of victory, one of the organizers of the all-ukrainian united movement , more than 1,000 people have already been helped to switch to ukrainian there, the most people come to us after the shelling, the most enroll in the course, this is happening en masse. for centuries, russia has been trying to suppress and destroy the ukrainian language. the valuev circular is one of the well-known bans on the ukrainian language in the russian empire, and in general, if you count each one, there are more than a hundred of them there it was, language is part of our freedom, part of our self-identification, and actually this war for language is for freedom, for the soul, for the land, the most sacred. actor oleksiy hnatkovskyi admitted after the dictation that he exceeded the time, deliberately reading slower so that those who are only

learning the ukrainian language would feel more comfortable. we lived in our house, and he did not survive. the family of vlad semenykh, who was also dictating today, left bakhmut. live in kyiv, now the schoolboy speaks more ukrainian, admits it is difficult, but possible. perhaps, when you are alone with yourself... perhaps you should ask in ukrainian to do this and perhaps it helps? to the day of the ukrainian language and writing, the soldiers of the 8th special purpose regiment recorded a video. the poems you read sound like a shot to the enemies, a battle of thoughts, hidden mines for them in their native language. who, if not the military on the front lines, knows for sure that language is a weapon. language is a collective work of art that is part of... our identity, for this identity people fight, national radio dictation is also a step to victory,

ukrainians together. it is precisely that moment that can be unity, and well, one's own process, meaning, dictation, about doing something together, at least for 15 minutes of time. this is a text about today's us, this is a text about ours. crippled earth 11-year-old denys romanyuk wrote a radio dictation for the first time. the text refers to different corners of our land. in the south, where have you been? mykolaiv, odessa. so. have you been to crimea? no. and when will you go to crimea? after the victory. roads of ukraine. russian aggression closed them to many. but after the victory, the young generation will be able to explore everything for themselves roads olena matsyutska, inna lebedenko, svitlana berezivska tsn 1.1. marathon, only news. changes to traffic rules

have entered into force, and the police are asking drivers to take this into account and change their habits. from now on , drivers need to turn on their daytime running lights or low-beam headlights whenever they are outside the city, and not only from october 1 to may 1, as was the case before. according to research, this makes it possible to reduce the number of road accidents by 15%. the second innovation concerns the highway. and roads for cars, the parking lot is located on sideways are now prohibited, to stop for a long time you need to use a place exclusively designated for this and with the appropriate road signs, the restriction of passenger boarding and disembarking is not only about car parking. well, also the pdr has undergone changes regarding the transportation of children, previously it was necessary to use a special seat until the child turns 12 or its height reaches 145 cm. now the height mark has been increased to 150 cm, but the age restrictions have been canceled. changes have already entered

into force, in fact there are a number, albeit small, but important changes that, first of all, bring our legislation closer to the rules, norms and standards that exist in the european union, and at the same time improve the safety system. traffic that we have. to give birth during the war, with the beginning of a full-scale invasion, the birth rate in ukraine went down. the ministry of justice calculates that now it is 28% less than during the same period in the 21st year, so whether a fertility crisis awaits ukraine, and what do those who did dare to give a new life during the war say. correspondent of tsn, victoria kovtsun will tell. are you preparing for the broadcast? so. marina, will you tell me how to work with pregnant women, you are wonderful. natalya ostrovska, the presenter of tsn, is preparing for the broadcast, now she is eight months pregnant. i've already

gotten used to actually working in the morning, during the day, in the evening it's more difficult for me since the first month of pregnancy. she says that she was worried about whether to dare and about the course of the pregnancy itself, but she knew one thing for sure, it was the right decision. a child, she does not choose when to be born, when god gave her, then is the best moment. i actually am now happy, in spite of everything, in spite of everything, that i can give a new life. the situation at the front and the regular shelling of kyiv affected the emotional state, and despite attempts to distract oneself, it was not always possible. the biggest worries were the first months, especially when i learned that there is a threat of abortion, and doctors say that recently the number of miscarriages is increasing precisely because of stress, but in fact, in fact, i say, we have a memory to believe in the best, against all odds. now she is helped by work, in addition to entering news and conversational studies natalya is working on two more

projects of her own, and is not going to go on maternity leave yet. despite what we have. news, information, but you know, you concentrate less on something when you lock yourself at home, lie on the sofa and think, oh, war, oh, everything is bad, and what will happen next, and what will happen after birth, i also had such thoughts, almost every pregnant ukrainian woman faces such worries about the baby's future, psychologists say, this is a healthy reaction of expectant mothers who dared to give birth during the war, because in addition to all other factors, on this decision also affects the ability to guarantee the safety of the child. not to give birth on time, is it not on time, will you be able to ensure the safe stay of the child, a war situation , a threat to life and what is possible tomorrow and not an attack, it, she activated people in this direction, and on the other hand, on the other hand, there is, on the contrary, such a reduction , it is connected with the destruction of the institution of the family in general , according to the estimates of the ministry of justice , the birth rate in ukraine is 28% lower than before

the beginning of the great war, so in the first half of the 21st year, babies in ukraine, instead during the same period of this year , 93,500 children were born. in general, birth rates in ukraine have been falling since 2013, by about 7% per year, and the great war led to four times higher figures. according to analysts of the wall street journal, they are bringing us closer to the world anti-record, however, before being afraid of negative statistics here, it is worth considering that objectively count the number of ukrainians born, first. a full-scale invasion is currently impossible. many mothers left, many mothers who are also pregnant now are leaving, that is why our children were born abroad, they are simply registered there , they will return in the future, they will be our children, many of them will be able to issue their birth documents with us, so we will see, perhaps, a different picture. just in the process of registering little oleksandr galin, due to the full-scale war, she

left for germany with her two daughters, two months ago she gave birth to a son there. we are currently waiting to receive ukrainian citizenship with the help of our consulate here. he says birth the third child was planned with her husband back in the 22nd, the start of a full-scale war was postponed, but she did not change her plans. the war, we are abroad, the family, the whole family is redistributed, all friends are scattered all over the world. but when a son was born, it felt as if someone gave such a vector of hope for the future. to improve fertility in the near future. hints at the number of marriages, it is for the first half of the 23rd, slightly higher than two years ago, doctors also note a positive trend, in the capital's perinatal center they say those who are ready to give birth to more every day. now, after all, it has stabilized a little and there is already faith in a better future, and now families are already going to increase their families, not only with the first child, but also with the second and third, it is already

realized that the next six months, the next year will increase. tsn correspondent viktoriya nikonenko gave birth to a baby during the war. a few days ago, she became myroslava's mother . i congratulate you for coming healthy and happy. when she sleeps, she looks exactly like the ultrasound photo, planning a pregnancy with her husband . , they also weighed all the pros and cons and decided to have such a birth, now she tells how she managed to distract herself from worries, i understood that these are basically risks for pregnancy, i helped. the first time at work, plus i played sports, not what the doctor allowed, she advised, the two of us already played sports , and it improved both the mood and the psychological state, so we tried as much as we could, today little myroslava is going to introduce her to her own home, and victoria is sure that this decision should definitely not be postponed for later, one must live life and give birth to little ones ukrainians, and we will not allow the russians not

to give birth to ukrainians. victoria. roman seshchenko, ilya shinkarenko and danil kosakovsky tsn 1.1 marathon the only news, i am a russian warship, i propose to lay down
