the avdiiv direction remains one of the most difficult, the russian army is trying to encircle the city. last day, the defense forces repelled more than 10 enemy attacks there. you have a word. yes, it's really, really hot in our direction, yes, not only those shellings that are now , well, really going on around the clock at positions, in the city itself, and there are really dozens of them during the day, connection, connection glaringly, vitaliy baraban, zadviyvki , head of the local military administration, no wonder

the connection with avdiivka is faulty, but the key story is that now in a couple of minutes we will stabilize this connection, well, in the meantime, i will inform you about something important, well, such a curious moment, you know, and laughter and sin, so the russian occupiers sent in the kherson direction, 10 kamikaze drones with the name attention, zhirinovsky, yes, well, the russian propaganda agency tas writes about this, and they even broadcast the ceremony of the transfer of equipment, yes, the zhirinovsky drone has already been tested in combat conditions, it can fly in rain and snow at a distance of up to 12 km and carry up to 3 loads. let me remind you that zhirinovsky abandoned his horse on april 6, 2022 and got, so to speak, immediately to the concert of yosif kobzol, i am now waiting for the return of vitaly barabash, the head of the avdiiv

city military administration, to the air. mr. vitaly, continue to be kind, by avdiivka, what is going on with you now? really very, well, the situation is very, let's say, difficult, really, the enemy is pressing, mostly, mostly using infantry, they are fighting around the clock and on the city and on positions around the city, dozens of shelling on the community, hundreds of shelling on positions around the city, well, of course , everything that is available, and systolic artillery, rocket artillery, passing shelling, and of course aviation, aerial bombardments, they are also in the city, well, i don't remember a day when they were not there , if we talk about the intensity and concentration of the fire, it is increasing, if it is increasing, then how much, well, if we take, for example, the last week, approximately

the same, approximately the same, there, well, it happens days, which is a little more, a little less, but on average about 30-40 massive shellings occur in the community during the day, look, i would like to ask what the situation is in the north of the avdiiv bridgehead, yes, to what extent the enemy has become more active there, and if possible, please give details, be kind to the situation in koksokhim, well, in the north they really pay more attention, they throw more of their personnel to the assault there, in the direction of koksokhim, yes, indeed, but the line of defense is holding, there are no breakthroughs, respectively they go around the plant itself and at positions in front of the plant, they constantly try to conduct their activities in the direction of the railway , but the guys are holding on, they haven’t broken the track

completely, but to be honest, i don’t know whether they have broken it or not, there in principle, it is already unprincipled of some kind, there is no sense of its integrity at all. mr. chairman, the situation near the steppe, some alarming news is arriving, in particular, it is about a certain advance of the enemy. in the direction of this settlement near avdiivka? well, i have there is no clear information about what is happening near stepovoy, indeed, this information is very different, well, there are some serious problems, well, no one from the boys says. if we talk about the concentration of the enemy's manpower, we understand that this concept is quite conditional, because it is extremely difficult to measure and we will not broadcast secret information, but there is a feeling that the enemy... is preparing for some kind of even bigger attack on avdiivskyi direction, yes, definitely, and this is

logical, the first two waves that they conducted, starting there from october 10, of course, what they draw from them, as they say, conclusions , they do, work on mistakes, the first wave differed from the second, the third will definitely differ from both the first and the second, certain groups of regrouping. they did, and a lot has already been said about this by various military institutions, including international ones, and this is logical, they really raised the equipment, they raised the reserves of personnel, just now the weather conditions do not allow them to use the equipment, as soon as the soil dries out, they will definitely leave, thank you, mr. vitaliy, for always honest analysis and for what you ... do in your place, we were contacted by vitaliy barabash, the head of the avdiiv city

i am now adding to our marathon

ukrainian politician and diplomat arseniy yatsenyuk, former prime minister of ukraine, chairman of the verkhovna rada, now chairman kyiv security forum. glory to ukraine, mr. chairman, i congratulate you, glory to the heroes, congratulations, antin, thank you for finding the opportunity to get involved. thank you for what you do and, accordingly, for being included in our live broadcast. well, i would like you to give a dry summary of the negotiations with the european union, in particular regarding the path to membership in the european union, as the poles say, we understand that it was extraordinary. important signals from the head of the european commission, ursula fonderlein, and not only that, but certain ones were decided in terms of terms, yes, the beginning of negotiations at the beginning of next year, but the key story is, of course, the composition of the negotiating groups, because we understand that in different clusters they will be different, and so on, so that, as they said, we do not miss something important during the negotiations, you

word, you know, antin, we can talk about technical things, which you and i will definitely talk about, but it seems to me that we should talk about outstanding political things, so ursuna funderleiden, zelenskyi, the governments, they did a great deal in it was decided that the european commission will submit to the consideration of the heads of states and governments a decision on the start of negotiations with ukraine, but this whole story has decades of work, and you know whose work in the first place, not officials, not presidents, not at. not the european commission, but the ukrainians who, exactly 10 years ago, went to the maidan and fought under the flags of the european union , do you remember what we fought for then, we fought for the signing of the association agreement with the european union, that is, you know, very a long, long road to ukraine

being recognized as a country someday, maybe in the future candidate, and if we asked the european mission when it would happen, and we asked it then, well, they told us that you know, it will definitely happen, but no one knows when, but ukraine, which then rebelled for its freedom and for its european future, actually took an incredible step forward today, and of course the technical aspects of this step forward are many governments, many prime ministers, many presidents, many ministers, and well, the final point has not yet been made today , because here i will now move on to the silent component, the european one the commission is in fact, well, the highest, let's say, the bureaucratic executive body of the european union, they assessed the progress of ukraine and said that ukraine can start the negotiation process, and i will also remind you that in general, this report is about a major expansion of the european union, and

i hope that europe has realized that its strength lies in what it has always feared before. and they were afraid of the expansion of the european union, so we are talking about 10 countries in general in this world, some very progressive, some, well, far from progress, and now this is the decision should be approved by the heads of states and governments of the european union on december 14, and then we have a lot of hard work ahead of us, four out of seven directions, so to speak, ukraine is now closing, well, we understand that we need to somehow increase, perhaps... speed, as you think how quickly we will cope, well , there is also such a story as the willingness to accept financial assistance at the level and in the way that we would like in the european union. yes, as if they will allocate money for us, but they also set certain conditions, certain requirements, so we understand that we

we have to make sure that we get the money, otherwise there will be big problems, no one gives money just like that, just like they don't give the status of a candidate, just like they don't start negotiations just like that, no one will give ukraine membership in nato either , this is hard work, and i say again that this work will take years, how fast? it depends on many factors. first of all, it depends on the factor of national unity, national professionalism and national realism. these are the three key conditions that must to be on the agenda of the ukrainian state, ukrainian authorities and our society today. the second component is political will, the political will of our allies of our european family. and by the way, we will see how orban will behave on december 14. because the thing. it has not yet been formally and legally accepted, and we will see how orban and others will behave regarding the provision of financial aid to ukraine, because you mention, and you

have talked about it more than once on the air, about the total amount of aid from the european union 50 billion euros for 12.5 billion euros per year, but this decision has also not been adopted, and as of today, in fact, the financing of the ukrainian budget for the next year: in the amount that is needed for ukraine is absent, i am not talking about a long-term perspective for years, a long-term perspective like the way the united states of america did the marshall plan for 16 countries in europe, and that's basically how it was created, it was the basis for the creation of the european union, so everything depends on the three points that i told you about, it national unity, professionalism and national realism, political will and a lot of circumstances, antin, a lot of circumstances, you look at what is happening in the world, the world is undergoing drastic changes, and these drastic

changes can very seriously affect our progress, as in the european union, and nato, both in the direction of slowing down and, conversely, in the direction of speeding up, as of today these drastic and dramatic changes for ukraine have accelerated ukraine's accession to the european union. we must continue to hold this back. well, but who about what, you know, journalists, about money, i.e. on the one hand, the verkhovna rada voted for the budget today, which is very good, i just don't know how the foreign aid that we haven't received yet was arranged or fit in, i.e. as far as i understand, we planned to receive it , but in any case, the issue with the european union is still hanging, yes, because they did not vote, and there is another very important one... there is a third story that is no less important, in particular , it concerns the frozen funds of russian oligarchs, which is a whopping 300 billions

of dollars, or euros, i don't remember the name that currency, but the money for ukraine, which would come from the european union, here you plus-minus explained the situation, american history and the frozen money of the russian oligarchs, with your permission, i will only make a few points. which we staged the kyiv security forum together with more than 30 prominent world figures, politicians, experts, former ministers and current members of parliament, the european parliament and prime ministers, in an appeal to the g7 countries with the need to confiscate all russian assets, and this appeal was signed, it sent to the white house to president biden, and this appeal is also to all countries of the great seven and to all member countries of the european union.

so, one of the points of this appeal was: we generally need to understand how much money was seized, because this information, it walks in some such general figures, but there is no clear register of how much, where and in what currency was seized. and one small correction, we are not talking about the money of russian oligarchs, because this is a separate case, it is a separate matter. our appeal of the kyiv security forum and leading world figures, and now the debate in the united states of america and in europe is precisely about sovereign assets of russia, sovereign assets are money that is seized after full-scale russian aggression, which belongs to the central bank. of the russian federation, and more precisely, according to the russian state, that is, those assets , those funds that the russian central bank placed abroad, were seized,

literally the day before yesterday, on this date, yes, the committee on foreign affairs, house of representatives of the united states of america was considering a bill which, in principle, is nothing more than a response to the subpoena we sent to president biden, which is to give the president of the united states additional powers to seize and transfer assets in favor of ukraine, but now the main work must be done first alternating union, why in the european union, the lion 's share of assets are seized there, there are about 200 billion euros, just think about the numbers, 200 billion, 200 billion are there, and here the european union must now take extremely active itself legislation both at the level of the european union and at the national levels, well, in belgium it is arresting, belgium has already started , at least it has declared so far, but you know, from the declaration to the transfer it can be a long

way. then they said that they would transfer to us the income that accrues to the seized russian assets, but there they say that it is 1.70 billion, but i calculated based on modest calculations that if we are talking about 300 billion and on average there are 5 % per annum on these incomes, it is not 7, not 1.7 million, but it is up to 15 billion dollars a year. mr. arseniy, you mentioned another extremely important case, this is just a fun, fundamental , important story, especially at the present time, we understand that emotions in our society are heated, as the great ukrainian classic mykola vasyliovych gogol said in his time, to the great regret of ukraine there are two big problems, they are fools and fools, very often someone starts unconsciously or consciously adding fuel to the fire with one or another statement, i will not name names, but we understand how society reacts, you mentioned certain scenarios

and prospects for national unity. the exits you see now, unfortunately we have two minutes, well, we have to speak frankly about what society is discussing, whether there is a split in the top political and military leadership of ukraine, whether there is a split between president zelskyi and commander-in-chief zaluzhny, right here there can be no discussions except one , this split a priori cannot be, because this... skool is the road to the defeat of ukraine, period, and it is natural that there can be different positions, by the way, this is very normal, this is a sign democracy, and not only democracy, it is a sign of an adequate , competitive management system, when different branches of government, when different institutions have different views, and everyone defends these views, but when these views are used from the point of view of

discrediting. both the unity of the country and the discrediting of the political military leadership, then this case cannot be launched. here the best, the best option would be one, the president together with the commander-in-chief should either make a joint press conference or a joint statement, or to demonstrate to society that there is no division and there will not be one and that we are all aiming at only one thing, the victory of ukraine and the ukrainian state, and so: society is really tired, it is traumatized, and here any drop, you understand, whatever - what, even a note of the wrong music, it really confuses people, so i am convinced that if there are different views, it is normal, but complete, total, i would say, unity and joint work of everyone in the country from the president, the commander-in-chief.

the whole country and every ukrainian, this is the basis our victory thank you, and the bottom line, this is not only about victory, it is about, in general , so that our country and our people can survive this war. thank you very much, mr. chairman, for what you do as the chairman of the security forum, and of course thank you for participating in the broadcast of the tv channel, i will pass the floor to my colleague iryna koval and remind our viewers that arseniy yatsenyuk was currently working for them on espresso. former. chairman of the verkhovna rada, former prime minister of ukraine and currently chairman of the kyiv security forum. irina, you have a word. thank you, antin, well, in just a moment i will tell you about the new document that was adopted today in the european parliament, or rather, our correspondent tetyana vysotska will tell us about it. let's talk about the budget, and also about how many children managed to return home, so wait.
