is trying to storm the positions of the armed forces of ukraine, they are repulsed by various means, artillery, bmps, and mortars, actually they are holding the defense for now, i am currently in avdiivka, in fact in the center of the city, the city is completely destroyed, you can see for yourself, it is only a small part of it part, and there is no interruption. battles are fought artillery, aviation, in fact, the sounds of the explosion can be heard everywhere, and as the local residents meet, the villages of the russian federation continue to actively attack the audio from all possible areas, deepstayte analysts also report. it is noted there that the assaults are taking place immediately on the villages of stepove, novokalynove

, umanske, tonenke, severne and in avdiivka, near the water, the armed forces of ukraine in some places managed to push back the forces of the russian federation, and in some places they had to withdraw, for the information of jezhel deep state further north water, some landings are simply thrown by the bodies of the russian military. the russian command sets the task of seizing the territory of the avdiiv coke plant, said the head of the avdiiv city military administration, vitaly barabash. to his credit, the army of the russian federation is gathering strength and preparing for the next wave of mass attacks. from koksukhim. according to barabash, the last 16 employees of the plant were evacuated, they ensured its preservation, but there are still 17 in the only surviving warehouse of the enterprise citizens who refuse to evacuate. the spokesman of the 110th separate mechanized brigade said on the air of the telethon that the city is in fact in a semi-encircled state, and russian forces are making no effort to break through the positions of the ukrainian military in the avdiyivka area. in the latest summary of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, it is also reported that the army of the russian federation... will not let

go of avdiivka. meanwhile , avdiivka was not mentioned in the reports of the ministry of defense of the russian federation in recent days. however, the russian pro-war telegram channel ridovka writes that on the russian army is a little in the avdiiv area. advanced into the steppe regions, and fighting continues near the coke chemical plant. previously, analysts of the american institute for the study of war wrote that russian forces had crossed a railway line near the steppe, 3 km north of avdiivka, and were preparing to attack the avdiiv coke plant north of avdiivka from these newly captured positions. vitaly barabash, the head of the avdiiv city military administration, joins our broadcast. i welcome you. glory to ukraine, congratulations. glory to the heroes, thank you for finding the opportunity and time to join, our correspondent, who worked in the city, reports that avdiyivka is under constant fire from russian forces, on his video you can hear shots from presumably small arms, does this mean that the army of the russian federation already on the approaches to the city, what is the situation in general at this moment and how was the night? indeed, avdiivka

is under shelling almost 24 hours a day, both the city itself and the positions around the city, not even riflemen touch the positions there at all battles, most likely, what was heard in the frame is, well, my impression is that the firing range is simply somewhere, maybe a drone was flying and our guys tried to shoot it down, so close to the place of the enemy there, we do not hear any shooting activity there, we hear much further, let's say, to the north of the city in the district of the same coke plant, or to the south in the district of water and expert, in principle to the population. the enemy did not approach the point of avdiivka itself in such a way that we could feel it, there were positions, well, none at all changes, in general, the day has passed, well, in principle, unchanged, as it was, and it is, it is really hot , they are really beating, a little more than 30 massive shelling took place on the territory of the community,

several aerial bombardments, there is no information until the account has been received or killed or wounded civilians, i hope it will remain so, well, really, the weather conditions are on our side, and this makes it impossible to use armored vehicles, wheeled vehicles at all, and the enemy is now becoming more active, let's say so, when you talk about it , what is the weather the conditions are on your side, what kind of weather do you mean? rain, rain, and let’s say it’s cloudy, when there is no clear sky, it’s really on our side, of course it makes the work of drones a little more difficult from our side, but, in principle, this also nullifies the work these same systems, plus, we understand that when there is a clear sky, they launch eagles , eagles, well, there is a drone of operational tactical

level, yes, as a scout, they adjust fire not only on positions, not only on the road as such, yes , and around the city, because there have already been many cases when...' well, it's gotten so cold already and people are lighting firecrackers in their basements, the eagles are tracking where the smoke is coming from and then literally throwing them there for a day or two and throwing these so-called cabs there, and people see it, and by the way, this also seriously affects evacuation activity now, because people are really signing up and are very active in evacuation. mr. vitaly, can it be said that the battles for the avdiiv koksokhim have already begun, because the plant is actually on the northern outskirts of the city, what is the situation? there in view of the fact that there was an evacuation of workers from there, which you reported, of course, that they are storming that direction, the factory , of course, that they are constantly bombing the factory, constantly dismantling it with artillery, but to say that already at the factory, well, there is no such thing, they are in

they are trying to advance in that direction, but they are not succeeding, and the plant is now controlled by someone, or is it the territory that is being shelled there, but neither ukrainian forces are conditionally present there, nor have russian forces entered there yet. but you know, i am in general i don't understand why they climb there like that, why they came up with such another goal, because it's a trap in a certain way, our guys don't go there, because it's really a trap, ah, you can draw different analogies, starting with shooting , ending with the realities, what at the factory, there are certain remnants of various technical and lubricants, practices, not everything was taken away, and the same resin and some phenols, and when a bomb or rocket or artillery hits there, it burns, well, very often we see these photos and videos from the avdiiv coke plant, what a black smoke stands and is there, well, this is simply an unreal story, that is why our forces are not there

, the russian forces do not understand that if they enter this factory, if they are able to occupy it there, then it can become a trap for them as well, well it is difficult for me to understand whether they have any understanding there or not, sometimes you generally look at their actions and it seems that you know, well, a normal person has the instinct of self-preservation, and it seems that witches have the instinct of self-destruction of the nation, because really, logic in many of their actions are not, except that we are not at the price we are standing by, as they say, there are losses of personnel and equipment, something must be taken, the question is already rhetorical, there is another very important point about those people you reported about, who remain in the only surviving bomb shelter on the territory of the plant, what about them , do they sign up for evacuation, is it possible to evacuate them from there, or do they recover from... and continue to stay there? unfortunately, they refuse

to leave, today i will talk to them personally, i will stop by, well, before the police, they refused to leave the territory of the plant with of this shelter, i am sure that we will find certain arguments for them to leave there after all, because it can really become a trap for them, and how will you explain to them, for example, if... russian forces will get close to the plant and seize it, what will they do there, what arguments do you have? well, it’s better not to talk about it yet, we’ll take it out, then we’ll tell you, we always, you know , we’ll never divulge even the details of the evacuation, i ’m begging you, that’s right, i understand, you’re determined, actually, that these people will agree, you have the possibility of how to convince them that they left there, yes, yes, of course, unfortunately we do not have a mechanism for the forced evacuation of the adult population, and i am sure. that we have these arguments, we have already discussed them with the police and, let's say, with representatives

of volunteers who will also go with us today to say them, well, we have certain arguments, i am sure that they will agree, mr. vitaliy, it's literally so real here, well , life is more expensive, and people already in such conditions just melt a little sometimes well, you know, they lose this reality, we literally have two more important questions in a minute and a half. the latest relevant figure as of today, how many people remain in avdiivka, those who may have already signed up for evacuation are not recorded, how many refused, here is some latest relevant figure of the situation as of today, this is the first question, well, we have 1,542 people as of this morning , but people are registered for evacuation both today, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, 28 people were evacuated yesterday, and the second question about the terekon, what is the situation there, who is it controls, there are various data on the network about whether it is a gray area or not a gray area. russian troops entered there, they did not enter, what is happening on the ground floor based on the information you have?

terekon is a gray zone, that is, it is not controlled by either the ukrainian side or the russian side, no, no, they climb there on terekon, ours constantly, you know, it is such a point of self-destruction, they climb there, our artillery dismantles them, and they are there they're just dying in droves, and you also said about them dying in droves, the losses of russian forces in recent times in the avdiiv direction, they have decreased, increased, i don’t know, compared to the fact that they do not change, they are constantly the same, but in this context, this is the last question for today, well, i do not have clear data, well, plus or minus, they are the same for the last week and a half there , i.e. they are unchanged, i thank you for finding the opportunity to tune in, vitaly barabash, head of the avdiivka city military administration, a guest of our broadcast, we talked about the situation in avdiivka, it remains difficult there, russian forces continue to actually storm the positions of the armed forces of ukraine. russian forces hit

the superstructure of a civilian ship under the flag of liberi with a kha-31p radar missile, which was entering a port in odesa. the pilot died, three more crew members were injured. this was reported in the operational command of the south and these photos were shown. the russian army fired a missile in the direction of one of the odesa regions from tactical aircraft in the black sea. however, the missile hit the ship. the injured crew members are citizens of the philippines. one of them is spitting. also suffered port worker, after the failure of the so-called grain agreement, the russian army regularly fires at the port infrastructure of ukraine. after that, ukraine proposed temporary routes for the passage of ships, turning to the international maritime organization. the corridors began to operate from the beginning of august this year. at the time, the ministry of reconstruction said that they were primarily used to evacuate ships that were in the ukrainian ports of chornomorsk, odesa , and pivdenne at the time of the full-scale disaster. expulsion of russia into ukraine. in russian the ministry of defense did not comment on the attack on a civilian foreign ship in the port of odesa

at the moment. the head of the joint press center of the defense forces of southern ukraine, nataliya gumenyuk, joins our broadcast. i congratulate you, ms. natalya. glory to ukraine, i congratulate you. glory to the heroes. thank you for finding the opportunity to join. please tell us in more detail what is known as of this moment and how the shelling of this actually civilian ship under the flag of liberia took place the day before. and the shelling occurred as a result of the activity of the enemy's tactical aviation in the waters of the black sea, su-34,35 aircraft, which quite regularly fly in this water area, they monitor the situation on the surface, and since the enemy's naval group is trapped in the eastern region of the black sea, the enemy collects information due to aviation activity, but not only information, but also carries such impressive elements as

, in particular, anti-raiding missiles, there was a hit during an air alert, the activity of enemy aircraft was recorded, the exit to the launch lines, the enemy directed the kh-31p missile, this anti-radar missile, it is clear that he was trying to aim at the coast, obviously, but at the moment when the ship was brought into the port , he directly hit the superstructure of the ship , apparently where the radar station was working, precisely because the hit took place in close proximity to the bridge deck, where the pilot was there, he died, the pilot who guided the ship to port is a citizen of ukraine, an employee of the administration of sea ports of ukraine. madam, that is, yes, and three crew members were injured, they are citizens of the philippines, the vessel itself

carries the flag of liberia, that is, it is the territory of another state, which was actually attacked by the russians, in connection with which, once again, russia confirmed that it is a terrorist of an international scale, but regarding the victims, as of now, the information may have changed since yesterday, you know something more, in what condition they are and so on, their condition is satisfactory , one was treated, and at the moment the issue of his return to the ship is being considered, and two were left in place after providing medical assistance, and that's about why this missile the russian forces released, that is, there is currently no reason to say that it was a conventionally directed attack on this particular ship, that is, most likely, the russian army still wanted to strike the coast, but hit the ship. we can't get inside the skull of anyone in this army, because where they direct their missiles, we can tell by the fact of the hit, in fact, and

this time it was obvious that the missile was directed in the direction of the port infrastructure. hit the ship directly, this one, if you can talk about it, that is in fact, after this incident, are there possibly any additional security measures being planned there, i don’t know the ports and so on, but in this direction, well, we don’t have an iron dome, and it is quite difficult to strengthen more than it has been strengthened, in the conditions in which we where we are now, the protection of the port and port infrastructure of odesa was considered at the highest level, at the diplomatic level, and within the framework of ramshtein, the extreme, so let's hope that partner assistance, which is also focused on the supply of air defense forces, means air defense, will work as effectively as possible, but let me remind you that such missiles as anti-radar, by the way, are very difficult to catch, they are often jammed and then

disappear from radars by falling. but they still carry a productive element. and two more questions in conclusion. the first will concern how the night went in the south in general , how frequent were the air alarms, is it possible, information about hits and so on, and the second about the missile carriers, what is the situation as of now? the night has passed enough tense, but not as alarming as the previous days, when we experienced more, more activity of the enemy, this is connected to some extent with the weather conditions, again... the storm and thunderstorm warning in the kherson region deters the enemy's tactical aviation somewhat, the cargo front does not give the ability to use kabi as actively as the enemy did it before, but still, more than 30 of them managed to pour into populated areas along the coast,

the consequences are still being clarified, since i will remind you, this is kaf-500, the destructive power is very. large, can be destroyed and damaged at the same time several civilian objects, but they hit precisely civilians in populated areas, social infrastructure, unfortunately , it is civilians who suffer, and the best way to protect yourself from such damage is still evacuation today, that's why we proved to everyone and opportunities to do it, and arguments for it to be heard from our side. as for the artillery shelling, they continued, including in the direction of populated areas, such as kherson and antonivka, and bereslav and solenchuki suffered in the mykolaiv region, from time to time the enemy from the zinbur spit reminds of itself in the kutsurub community

, in particular, and the main thing is that the assault warning forced the enemy to reduce the ship formation to a minimum, now three units in the black sea, one in the azov sea, are patrolling, these are mainly border ships and boats , and the stormy weather drove the rocket carrier to the base points. thank you very much, mrs. natalya, for joining in and telling the details, the head of the joint press center of the defense forces of southern ukraine, nataliya humenyuk, our guest broadcasting about 96% of the security, economic and humanitarian aid that the united states has allocated to ukraine has already been used. this was stated by the coordinator of strategic communications of the national security council of the united states, john kirby. if we count from the total amount of funds that have been provided to ukraine since the beginning of the war, it is more than 60 billion dollars, and this is not only security assistance, it is economic, financial assistance

and humanitarian assistance. we've used about 96% of what's left, the ministry of defense has about $1.1 billion for stocking up for the winter, so this runway is getting shorter, so we need to approve this additional request. congratulations. kirby called on the congress to approve the request for additional aid for kyiv, about the importance of international support, says the minister of finance of ukraine, serhiy marchenko. according to him, without the financial assistance of partners, ukraine may be engulfed in an economic crisis as early as next year. according to the assessment of a ukrainian government official, without external revenues, a hole of $29 billion may appear in the state budget, he reported this in interview with politiko publication. according to marchenko, ukraine needs additional funding, in particular for anti-corruption reforms. the european union expects them from ukraine. marchenko says that if ukraine finds itself in a crisis, it will have side effects in the european union as well, such as forced migration, which could lead to

an increase in eu prices for products, fuel and services. meanwhile, the us congress approved the transfer of frozen russian assets against the background of reports of the exhaustion of aid balances for ukraine kyiv. the relevant bill was considered by the specialized committee of the house of representatives, voice of america reports. this document states that the us secretary of state. antony blinken is authorized to provide assistance to ukraine using assets confiscated from the central bank of the russian federation and other sovereign assets of russia. the law stipulates that the us secretary of state, together with the international intelligence agency , must provide an assessment of ukraine's most urgent needs within 180 days after its entry into force. funds are collected on a special basis account and, if necessary, become the property of the us government. this bill also makes it impossible to return these assets to the russian federation until they are paid. compensation to ukraine. in general, the kremlin counted about 300 billion dollars, which are frozen in the accounts of western countries. the decision of the congress has already been reacted to in moscow, the press secretary of the russian president peskov

said that the decision to transfer the assets will cause, i quote, serious legal and judicial consequences. in addition to the courts, there were also threats of other retaliatory measures, but without details democratic congressman gregory meeks, co-chairman of the committee on international relations, which approved the bill, said that under... holding ukraine will allow it to become a full-fledged economic player in europe, and this must be done during the war, and not only after victory, voice of america also writes that another republican congressman, michael mccaul , said that russia itself should pay for the war it started. it's time for russia to pay for the war it started, we need a plan to win as quickly as possible, and this plan is to ensure that the united states of america does not carry this burden alone, which is why i tabled it. draft law on restoration of economic prosperity and opportunities for ukrainians. journalists of the voice of america reported that the mirror bill is also in the senate of the united states,

after approval in the committee it should be brought to a vote directly in the house of representatives. and at this moment , oleg ustenko, the adviser to the president of ukraine on economic affairs , joins the svoboda ranok broadcast questions i welcome you. congratulations. mr. olezh, ukraine may face an economic crisis without a financial one next year. on the part of the partner countries, a hole in the amount of about 29 billion dollars may form in the budget, the minister of finance of ukraine says about this, it is only about aid from the usa or from which allies, how can you estimate, well, i would say so that, first of all, everyone understands why we have a state budget deficit, in the 22nd year, when the war began, russia simply attacked our enterprises, attacked our companies, in accordance. if you do not have these enterprises and companies physically, and some of them cannot work, because they are located in territories that are either temporarily occupied or in territories that are under constant fire from the enemy. it

is clear that you have a falling economy, and from the fact that in you have a decline in the economy, which by the way was in the 22nd year at the level of about 25% , then it is clear that you, if the economy declines, if some of the enterprises do not work, you will have a decrease in state budget revenues, and a decrease in state budget revenues budget, even though it was state budget expenditures in non-military and non-defense areas have been partially reduced, but still remain... sufficiently high, and let's say for this year it is about 40 billion dollars, about the same figure of about 40 billion dollars, it is necessary to focus on the next year, if there is a deficit of 40 billion dollars and this year it was financed, 18 billion dollars came from the european union at 15 billion per month, about 10 billion dollars, this is exactly the amount that is expected

entirely from the united states of america, about 5 billion dollars, these are the funds that we received from the international monetary fund, and the rest from our other allies and partners, so next year the structure of the deficit and the need to finance the deficit will remain approximately the same. if we are talking to you about $40 billion, then for the next year approximately $3.5 billion is expected, this is what will cover the deficit from the international currency side. fund, i mean in the 24th year already 3.5 billion from the international monetary fund, we expect that approximately 18 billion dollars, these are funds that will come from of the european union, and additional and continued support from the united states of america, well, that's all, and also,

of course, that the ministry is expected. of finance will continue to take loans on the domestic market, but the domestic market, well, it is not such that there is much to borrow, but now, according to the accounts of the ministry of finance , the figure is 29 billion, but it must be understood that 29 billion is three 3 /4 parts of the total deficit, so that's what's causing so much nervousness now, if you will, from the ministry of finance, and it's really... it's not only from the united states of america, it is from other sources. mr. olezh, but if we assume that the allies will not provide ukraine with these funds, or not in full, as ukraine expects, where will the money come from? then there is no money to take, from where, there are absolutely no sources of financing the deficit of the state budget. we are in a constant state of war, which means that we cannot go to external borrowing and capital markets, they

are closed to us, we have every last penny that is earned inside the country, in the form of taxes, fees, it goes entirely to every last penny goes to security and defense, everything else, not of a military or defense nature, makes up this deficit, the deficit must be financed, if you do not have the opportunity to finance, and you are in a state of war, then you should leave security and defense to that the level at which it is needed by the army and defense and the survival of the country, then you have to think about how to finance everything else, well, everything else is simple so that your viewers understand, this is also medicine, this is medicine, health care, this is education, is a pension fund that has a significant deficit

of the state, well, a significant deficit... which is financed by the state budget, well, that is, all the remaining expenses, this is people's lives and the opportunity to survive with this er, for people to survive during the war. mr. oleg, we still have literally 2.5 minutes and two very important questions, as of now, how do you generally assess the probability of this economic crisis, how high are the risks and threats? i think there is tremendous nervousness about whether the budget deficit will be financed or not, but i am sure that a decision will be made by of the european union, and the $50 billion allocated for ukraine in the form of a facility program will still be voted, and of the $50 billion allocated for 24-27 years, $18 billion will be used to finance the deficit for the next year, and yet i also understand that eh
