we are waiting for more details from the local authorities and the air force. and in social networks, the townspeople publish videos of how people cannot get into the storage facility. dnipro city center, aerial alarm. the shelter is closed, an hour ago the occupiers attacked a grocery store in the center of kherson. a man died there, a woman was injured. reported in the regional military administration, and before that arta was hit in the shipping area. according to preliminary data , two pensioners were injured, both in hospital. later, it was reported that a third person was injured, and residential buildings were damaged. already in the evening, the russians shelled berislav. two men were injured, one of them a policeman. kachkarivka and zmiivka were under fire. two people were also injured there. on the day of kamikhadze , the occupiers fought across dnipropetrovsk region with artillery and drones. damaged. two apartment buildings and 30

private buildings in nikopel, as well as a medical facility, a utility company and energy equipment. in october alone , the russians launched two and a half hundred shaheds over ukraine, of which we shot down 228. they also terrorized with kh-59 missiles, we shot down 11 of them and nine cruise missiles, of which eight were shot down. in november, the enemy does not stop being active. already more than six dozen. and four cruise missiles over ukraine, they launched in the first days of the month. most, our anti-aircraft defense shot down. only a few days remain until the announcement of the results regarding the start of negotiations on ukraine's accession to the eu. and today, the leader of the european commission, ursula fondern, arrived in kyiv to assess the progress that ukraine managed to achieve on the way to the european community. well,

it will depend on this assessment in the european commission's report the european union will start accession negotiations with us. if the conclusion is positive, and there is every chance that it will be, ukraine's accession to the eu can start as early as december. olena chernyakova is monitoring how the visit to kyiv of the leader of the european commission is going. this is already the sixth visit of the president of the european commission. to kyiv during the full-scale war. the meeting between the two presidents will actually start at peron, and it is no coincidence that nowadays, when all ukrainian airports are closed, high-ranking guests come to us by train. it is symbolic that the visitor fell on railroad worker's day the leaders will discuss aid to ukraine, our entry into the european union and sanctions pressure on russia already at the bank meeting. the negotiations are traditionally held in two stages: before and in an extended

format, the president voices a preliminary assessment of the reforms that ukraine has implemented in the last year and a half. you have made great progress, it is impressive, next week we will confirm it in the enlargement report presented by the european commission. these are all the results of hard work, i know that you are in the process of completing important reforms, and if you succeed, i am sure, the ambitious goal of ukraine - transition to the next stage of the process. entry will be achieved. it notes the reform of the rule of law and the fight against oligarchs. in response, volodymyr zelenskyy emphasizes that on the way to the eu, ukraine is preparing for new reforms. a draft law on updating the work of the anti-corruption prosecutor's office is under consideration in the parliament, plus a draft law on lobbying is being prepared. this will reduce and make transparent the influence of anyone on the state. and it is the reforms that allow ukraine to move to the second stage during accession. and it will mean. of fundamental things: first, already

there will be no gray geopolitical zones in europe , secondly, we will provide a new basis for the growth of ukraine and all european countries, and thirdly, we will guarantee our state and the ukrainian people real economic and social security. but let's move on, we can hear the answer to this question already at the december summit of eu leaders. less than two years have passed since the submission of ukraine's application for accession. and during this period, the bloc already reached agreements, expansion is needed not only by the candidate states, but also by the union itself, and the accession depends not only on political, but also from legal points, which ukraine still needs to work on - notes the expert international. the issue of the implementation of european legislation, european directives into ukrainian legislation, is simply a physically very long and long period of time, so in my opinion, the assessment of our european friends... there, the commissioner, the ambassadors

of the european union in ukraine, the period until 2030 looks the most realistic and optimal . a separate issue during the sanctions negotiations. and further aid to ukraine: the 12th package will be voted on soon - promises ursula funderlajen. these will be new personal restrictions for those responsible for the invasion, deportation of ukrainian children and propagandists, as well as a package of measures to make it impossible to circumvent previous sanctions. a new aid package is also being prepared. 50 billion for the next four years. the other day , the ukrainian government handed over to the commission a preliminary draft of the plan, which provides for the implementation of reforms in order to receive the tranche. we are developing ukraine's plan for modernization, reform and attracting investments to ukraine. the reform plan is the key to access the €50 billion. progress significant progress has been made and we are ready to move to the finish line in the coming weeks.

in addition to bilateral relations, an important issue is the situation at the front. how difficult it is, the president is asked about it, and journalists are already at the briefing. he says: we must close the sky at the front while we wait. fighter jets are needed because at least more air defense, i do not hide, the situation is difficult and not catastrophic. time has passed today, people are tired, everyone gets tired, and there are different opinions on this, all people, all people, regardless of their status, and this is understandable, but it is not stalemate, this is not news. russia controls the sky, in offensive missions, it is clear, if we take care. our military, we protect the boys and girls when they control the sky, no one wants to throw away, as russia throws away its people like meat. after the meeting with the president, the leader of the european commission spoke before the people's deputies. such a number of her visits during the war testifies to fruitful cooperation and

proves that for the first time in 30 years of relations, ukraine is really close to the eu. olena chernyakova, maksym khlopotov, we are ukraine marathon, the only news. so, in just a few days, the eu will announce the 12th package of sanctions against russia , well, europe is expecting restrictions that will hit russian trade by almost 5 billion euros, and the new package includes more than 100 individuals and almost 50 legal entities? should limit russian aluminum and finally russian diamonds, what else will be banned and when that package will come into effect, anna grishina will tell. diamonds are best friends. not only girls, but also putin's henchmen, annually the sale of siberian diamonds enriches the kremlin budget by more than 4 billion euros, and a similar measure aimed to cover this item of russian profits by the end of this month.

all this time, for the most part, belgium resisted attempts to ban the purchase of russian precious stones, because it is in antwerp itself that there are more than 400 workshops that serve 1,500 jewelry companies and four diamond exchanges, through which more than 85% of all rough diamonds in the world pass, more than 70% of them are legally imported from siberia, and almost as much secretly. we want to remove russian origin diamonds from our market, the best way to do this is to implement a full traceability system to eliminate russian diamonds from our market. that is , europe, together with the countries of the big seven, buys the most russian diamonds in the world. alebil diamonds are going to be included in the 12th package of anti-russian sanctions. according to bloomberg, it will also include export restrictions on welding equipment, chemicals and other goods and technologies used by the federation in military purposes and enrich its budget

by at least 5 billion euros every year. it is expected that the restrictions will also apply to russian aluminum, as early as june, the eu reduced the import of aluminum products from it. and letters, but did not dare to ban it completely, as canada or great britain did. the member of the european parliament from the czech republic, tomasz zdychovsky, explained to us in a comment what the difficulties are. the problem is that we do not have enough sources of aluminum in europe, there are a few only in turkey, china and india, but its the cost in these countries is skyrocketing, because they know that they remain the only sources for european companies, but we are waiting for negotiations with south america on this. currently, the eu countries are finalizing the new sanctions package, but not everything is so simple in it, in addition to aluminum, there are also many questions regarding russian diamonds. this is a promotion video of a world-famous jewelry house, where diamonds are not only about beauty, but also about

a luxurious life. an investigation by journalists of one of the independent publications revealed: recognized brands are not averse to making jewelry from of russian precious stones, selling them for cosmic money to the european rich, who do not realize that by buying a branded ring or earrings, they are financing an occupying army that is killing peaceful ukrainians. sanctions are not an option. this solution could be an international system of full transparency with the same compliance standards as antwerp, from the commentary of the antwerp world diamond center. and here, too, not everything is clear, because now the russian federation continues to sell its diamonds to the west, mainly in united arab emirates. in expert circles, dubai is called a diamond laundry. there they are polished, and from there they are delivered directly to the eu. still. in this way, blood stones from the russian federation processed in a third country are no longer considered russian, it turns out that sanctions

will not apply to them. we in ukraine contacted the world diamond center in antwerp, asked to clarify how the system of full transparency mentioned by them works, which currently does not always see the russian origin of precious stones, but there was no answer received we want to ban everything russian, which comes not only from russia, but also through third countries. negotiations are now underway with qatar, dubai and others to ban the bloody diamond business that finances the war against ukraine. all 27 eu member states must agree to the long-awaited 12th package of anti-russian restrictions, including ukraine, which blocks most of the sanctions directed against the russian federation. it is not known for certain whether there is already unity between the states in this decision. as we learned from sources in the european parliament, a complete ban on russian, that on... smaller diamonds that reach the eu through third countries will not be in this, the next sanctions packages. so

it seems that the bloody precious stones will not disappear so quickly from european stores, and recently the russian diamond mining company alrosa reported that its profits have increased many times since the beginning of the war in ukraine. from brussels, anna sinned, we are ukraine. marathon, only news. well, about $5 is as much as the biden administration has for military aid to ukraine in this year's budget, which was approved by congress at the time, but so far a decision on additional funding is up in the air, aid packages to the armed forces of ukraine will be reduced to stretch the ability to support our country for as long as possible, says white house spokeswoman karinzhan. well, actually, biden is now trying to convince congressmen to approve 106 billion in support for ukraine and israel. while the new speaker of the house of representatives

insists on their separate consideration. so what are the prospects of these two options and what are the likely consequences? 226 for, 196 against. the draft law was adopted. the house of representatives voted in favor of a separate $14.3 billion aid package for israel. in a section with the senate and the white house about the feasibility of the joint package that joe biden proposed the day before. ukraine is coming soon, next, and you heard me say that we want to fund both our border security and ukraine, because i think we can get bipartisan agreement on both of those issues. however , the senate, which has to vote after the house of representatives, does not agree with such a decision. senators probably will try to return batch voting, add ukraine, defends its own. the white house requests for additional funding include four critical needs: support

for israel, aid to ukraine, us interests in the indo-pacific region , and border security. the president will veto if it is only israel. all four are important, and we would not submit a request in this form, however appropriate it may be. the ukrainian share provides almost 61.5 billion dollars. 30 billion for the pentagon. for equipment for ukraine and replenishment of our own stockpiles of weapons. 14.4 billion for the pentagon to continue military intelligence and other defense support. $16.3 billion for the state department and usaid for economic security and operational assistance. 481 million for assistance to displaced ukrainians within the framework of the us program united for the sake of ukraine, 149 million for responding to nuclear radiological incidents and another 9.15 billion for joint humanitarian aid. if it is served in the state in which it is served, it will not be possible to make many changes to it.

if you submit each bill separately, separately israel, separately ukraine, separately taiwan, they can be discussed in subcommittees for weeks and weeks, they can be cut, rewritten, added something and so on for weeks. yes, maybe they will reduce it a bit. yes, there may be some revisions, but they are ready to support it. so that's it. time and that is why the white house insists on voting for the entire package in the interests of national security and is already talking about the need to stretch the aid in smaller packages. it is the newly appointed speaker of the chamber who insists on a separate review. us congress mike johnson after all there are warnings from some republicans about possible corruption, although the auditors did not find it, as the us ambassador to ukraine bridget brink personally assured the speaker, and the ukrainian authorities are not against inspections. they say that we just need to understand where this money goes, we need to understand how it is used, because it is our taxpayers' money.

the question is absolutely correct, i emphasize again and again, we are ready to give an answer for all the help that comes from the territory of the united states. and even if there is help will be adopted in various packages, it will not stop, because there is support, the representative of the republicans reassures. the white house and congress will agree. and the white house and congress will agree, without a doubt, to talk about the fact that the discussion of financial aid to ukraine may be delayed, even negatively reflect on ukraine, there is no reason. absolutely, these politicians want to eliminate as much as possible their priorities that were in their order. and the issue of the border with mexico is indeed key for the same republicans, so they should not support such a package they won't be able to. at the same time, ukraine is also a strategic partner of the united states, and since the beginning of the full-scale war, they have provided aid in the total amount of 113 billion dollars. interest in victory is evidenced by the 33 mentions of ukraine only in the latest

us national security strategy for 2022 and the inclusion of aid to ukraine in the federal budget. there, aid to ukraine varies. 30 to 40 billion, so for now we don't need these additional fuses, they will definitely be needed sometime in early 2024, when it becomes clear that well, it's an election year, it's much more unstable and crisis-ridden than you can imagine. so the help from sha is unlikely to stop, experts insist, especially since everyone recognizes its necessity, because russia is awake and looking for ways to provide itself with weapons and meat, and has already received a lot of weapons from the dprk and has become. not the number one smuggler in evading sanctions. now they would be happy to keep what they stole. the issue and task of the ukrainian security and defense forces and the entire free world, in fact, is not just to prevent this, but also to attract criminals to responsibility and ensure the restoration of ukraine's sovereignty. and in addition to the united states, ukraine is supported by about 50 allied countries, and

the united states itself, even against the background of battles, has already announced an additional aid package of 425 million dollars. he foresees. the supply of weapons from the arsenals of the pentagon refers to a considerable number of various projectiles and even additional ammunition with laser guidance for combating unmanned aerial vehicles. anna brykovam ukraine marathon only news. europe continues to support ukraine and the amount of its aid exceed support from the us. by the middle of next year, the netherlands will form a military package for us worth more than half a billion euros. about 260 million will go to artillery shells, the rest to ammunition for tanks. kyiv will have more weapons from the german defense concern rain metal ag, this was confirmed by the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleva, after a meeting in berlin with its general director, it was about strengthening the defense industry alliance between germany and ukraine. previously, rain metalal gave us anti-drone complexes and took them a large order for the production

of artillery shells. the russians are trying to regain lost positions near klishivka andriivka. and avdiyivka in donetsk region and near robotyn in zaporizhzhia. the russians are attacking avdiivka with the powerful support of their aviation and are preparing for the third series of major assaults. most likely, they will focus their offensive operations on the avdiiv coke plant. defense forces of ukraine continue their assault south of bakhmut. on the mariinsky and kupyansk directions, the muscovites are unsuccessfully trying to storm khersonsk. straight ahead, ours are conducting a counter-battery fight, they are advancing on melitopolsky. over the past day, 60 combat clashes took place, the armed forces of ukraine eliminated 830 occupiers. the president appointed colonel serhii lupanchuk as the new commander of the special operations forces of the armed forces of ukraine. this personnel decision was

adopted at the request of the minister of defense rustem umerov. major general horrenko is now needed in a certain direction. he will continue to perform special tasks as part of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense, yes umerov believes. in the temporarily occupied territories, muscovites threaten to release ukrainians who do not have russian passports. once the government adopted the so-called permissible share of foreign workers at enterprises, which provides for a significant limitation of jobs. ukrainians who refuse to take the enemy's passport are foreign workers. therefore, in this way, the occupiers plan to increase the pace of passporting and finally make ukrainians dependent on the payments of the occupation administrations - say the national center. resistance well, and looting, as it is, the property of ukrainians in the temporarily occupied territories is appropriated by muscovites in a thousand different ways. that's right, one of

the most cynical is that they track down unpaid bills for housing left behind during evacuation and confiscate it. how does this happen? rostislav sysoev will tell. they wring both abandoned housing and the one that was simply thrown on. okom temporarily occupied volnovakha in donetsk region. russian soldiers shot a family, two children and seven adults were killed in their beds at night. according to preliminary data, the occupiers lost their lives of the entire kapkanets family, who celebrated their birthday and refused to give their home to the chechen occupiers. dmytro lubenets, the verkhovna rada commissioner for human rights. seyeronetsk, luhansk region. the ranks of russia have damaged 9 buildings here, most of them are no longer subject to restoration, and this one on novikova street survived and was included in the occupation list of so-called state property. in general

, the list contains hundreds of apartments at different addresses, in different cities, they were simply wrested from the previous owners. why do they do it to cover the need for housing and accommodation of those tens of thousands of rashish military and who come to the temporarily occupied territory, starting from the military, ending with their illegal judges, prosecutors and so on. the occupiers are most actively nationalizing in melitopol, which is currently the administrative and logistical center of the invaders, and are also appropriating houses near the front line, in topmak, molychansk and the villages between them. they understand it, that you put winter in their burrows. the field ones will be passable enough, well, here they are evict ukrainians from their homes. in the zaporizhzhia region, the occupiers nationalized more than 5,000

real estate objects. even if the owner of the apartment arrives with documents, a certificate of ownership, this is also not a guarantee that nationalization will not occur. since the spring of this year, the occupiers have become more active in mariupol, after the russian invasion , 1,800 high-rise buildings were left in the place with only a third occupied, that is , tens of thousands of apartments and private houses are on the list for the so-called nationalization. there are people who were allowed to live in mariupol, for example, yes in which is in evacuation, and if these people do not have official documents that they are the owner and the commission, which was created by the occupation administration of mariupol, it decides almost on the spot, whether a person can continue to live in the apartment, or whether he has to get married. local traitors help the occupiers to find empty apartments. the invaders try to use the so-called administrations or quarters and even the beginning of the heating season , under the guise of starting the heating, they go around

all the apartments in order to find out whether there is heat there or not, and those apartments where they are not can get in, they also put stickers on the door or gate, if the owner of the apartment does not show up within three days, the occupants will nationalize this apartment, and what... to beat the legal owners, is it possible to defend your ownership right now? all these actions do not have any legal consequences, in fact, from the point of view of ukrainian international legislation, it is impossible to influence it. that is, you have to wait and take yours when the ukrainian authorities return to the occupied cities. rostislav sysoev, ukraine marathon one news. in the temporarily occupied crimea today there were explosions, it flew in the direction of kerch. at the hall repair plant. the moment of the impact was recorded by eyewitnesses, but at first the occupiers reported that they themselves allegedly set up a smoke screen near the crimean bridge. then they admitted that

their pppo was working, and the debris allegedly fell on the territory of the plant. a small askolt missile ship was just there. according to enemy intelligence, he was damaged. well, in the morning unknown drones attacked bilhorshchyna. and here, too , is their pppo, that's all. zbyla, as well as in the kursk region, there at the airfield at least three drones flew over halino , but the russian ministry of defense announced the destruction of only two drones. well, i have good news, the ukrainian pilots who will take to our skies on the f-16 will already transfer from flight simulators to fighter jets this month, but russia, their defense minister shoigu, is awake to somehow console himself and the people. assures that their legendary pppo will shoot down all f-16s in a matter of days. but in reality , american birds, russian anti-aircraft defense and even stakes

will be our boys, ukrainians, at the helm. which what defense systems does the enemy currently have and what are these systems capable of? vlada tsymbalenko will tell now. ukrainian soldiers are already skilfully protecting our sky with american patriot and nasa systems, and very soon american f-16 birds will defend it as well. but while our pilots and engineers are undergoing training, in russia they have already calculated the expiration date of the planes that we are to receive, and they have also praised their own with traditionally made-up data. air defense systems, they say they shot down 30, but experts do not deny that the aggressor country really has quite powerful pppo systems, and many of them are still relatively new. long-range complexes s-400, s-300, semi-range, let's say, there is also a complex s-350, but for medium range, a large number of complexes, beech, tor, so then, for short range, armor complexes, then

ukraine is good at it.. .reduces the number of russian air defense systems, especially painful for the occupiers is the destruction of s400 installations, which is considered the equivalent of the american patriot system and the so-called gold standard of russian air defense. institute for the study of war and british, british intelligence reported that in the last week we have destroyed four launchers, s-400. they have about 50, 60 of these s-400s, meaning batteries, but... it's not enough to cover all the objects that need to be covered, and even so, more and more temporarily occupied territories and even the deep rear of the enemy attack by drones and high-precision missiles, and therefore they actually have a shortage of air defense systems. repaint anti-aircraft missile defense systems from other directions, such as

this is known, and in particular from the far east, to the territory temporarily occupied by ukrainian territory, that is why our forces still manage to bypass the enemy and destroy warehouses with ammunition, military airfields and other military facilities, but in order for it to become even more, we must eliminate an obstacle in order to overcome the russian anti-aircraft defense, you must first of all know where it is, what it is like, how many of it there are. first of all, we need the intelligence that our allies can provide us. the second is to impress, means. first of all, we need newer harm missile systems, these are anti-radar missiles, we also need long-range missiles that can hit targets at a distance of more than 300 km, but will russian air defense be able to hit the f-16? experts say that such a threat exists, because the russians are already actively preparing to fight the american birds and are saving s300 missiles, but the f16 is a new generation aircraft, and it is not so easy to detect it. they can't even shoot down

planes. our soviet, not to mention the much more modern such f16 and are classified as the fourth generation, this the plane is rather inconspicuous, that is, there is a special shape of the hood, cockpit, special coating, and in order to skillfully fly them, our soldiers undergo training in denmark, the united states and romania, and already after the training we will be able to see the f-16 in the sky over ukraine. when exactly this will happen, the air force does not disclose, in order to harm the enemy. an unexpected and powerful blow. vlada tsymbalenko, we are ukraine. only news marathon. more than 600 ukrainian children were evacuated from the border region of sumy oblast. but, since they are russian the attacks do not abate, the evacuation zone will be expanded from 5 to 30 km, says the head of the military administration of the region, volodymyr artyukh. for this, protective structures are being built on the instructions of the national security council. their.
