[000:00:00;00] this is the example of a mercenary who remained a mercenary for the rest of his life and did not become a politician, and i would add here that in general from the point of view of military virtues and their hierarchy, yes, it was not prestigious to teach at the university, it was not prestigious, - first for the nobility, for the cossacks for the knights, i.e. the knight must serve his lord or his state with a sword, first of all, the myth was questioned and that's fine, thank you for this paragraph, viktor brehunenko, oleksiy. there should be more quality content on youtube,

and see you in the next paragraph. forces to avdiivka, the armed forces, despite ground and air attacks, why is this city so important to the russians. the decision of the european commission is there, but what's next? who is sticking a stick in the wheel of ukraine on its way to the eu, and how long do we have to go to the european union? the war of drones, which types ukraine has put into mass production, and how far they will reach the enemy behind his rear. of the vsk koksokhim and are being beaten by the soviet union, but the plant is under the control of the armed forces. the occupiers do not stop trying to sharpen avdiivka. this section of the front remains a priority for them. muscovites conduct stormy actions in area of ​​maryinka, the defense forces of ukraine repulse their attacks near bohdanivka and klishchiivka in donetsk region. the enemy is unsuccessfully trying to storm in the almansky direction, near strelmakhivka and novoyehorivka

- this is luhansk region. enemy attacks in the kharkiv region and in the verbovoy and robotany districts in zaporizhzhia are also unsuccessful. in the kherson region, the armed forces are conducting a counter-battery fight, in melitopol region they are advancing. about the situation at the fronts, lyudmila gavrilyuk. the whole field is in smoke, and only the ashes from the explosions dilute this gray curtain. it's so burning russian equipment, its filigree is destroyed by 47, separate. continuous rod russians. now they started the third massive stage of assaults. the enemy became more active in the avdiiv direction. thus, ukrainian defenders repelled 35 attacks by invaders in the areas of the steppe, the auto-tivka region of northern pervomaiskyi. if last week in this direction one infantry was thrown to kill, now they are using heavy armored vehicles, climbing from three directions, these columns of equipment and manpower are covered from

the sky by aviation. 50 are being collected on the kazhan drone. the goal of the collection is 95,000. and now there is an assault on ours there position of one. that's it. at night today, there were probably 40 artillery shells, 40. this is not counting the work of drones and unmanned aerial vehicles. the number one target for the enemy is the koksokhim plant. then there will be a complete encirclement of the city, but so far all the efforts of the occupiers are in vain - say the military. but their attempts are not successful, the fierce southern bakhmut went on the offensive, and now they are trying with all their might to regain the lost positions in the area of ​​klishchiivka and andriivka. the situation is quite tough, we are watching very, very much a serious concentration of the enemy, especially the enemy's manpower in our direction, also in the neighbors on the left and right, we see

constant attempts of assault actions, in groups of 15. the number of artillery fire has increased at least threefold, and the russians are also increasingly using fprons - say the military. very seriously recorded the intensity of hostilities . the enemy tanks began to act more defiantly, they go out on a semi-direct aim, shoot from a few kilometers away, as much as they manage to have time to aim the artillery, shells, and run away and the activation of the russians on bakhmutskyi. direction was not a surprise for our armed forces, they knew about it in advance, so they had time to prepare and strengthen themselves. we observed that the russian occupying forces were preparing for offensive actions for months, and we took all the necessary measures, so the enemy has no strategic successes in this direction at the moment. they continuously storm the lyman direction, they want to recapture the city and cross the skil river. after unsuccessful assaults

, the enemy regroups near kuplinsk and despite this, the aircraft and artillery there do not stop for a moment. the enemy is constantly attacking in this direction, some of the beavers are being saved to strike with the first frosts. precisely this period, which is associated with a greater load on the energy system, terrorist attacks by the russian aggressor may, there is such a risk, may be renewed. however , it is unlikely that the enemy will be able to repeat last year's scenario, because more than 800 missiles have been accumulated, which is much less than what was in the arsenal of the russian federation last winter. then the enemy released on ukraine for six months, from september to march, more than 1000 rockets, only. we are not even talking about the s-300, we are not talking about ballistics, only cruise missiles, somewhere over 700 of the enemy's defenses were destroyed. in addition, they will not be able to hit with all the iron they have, because traditionally russia leaves at least 30%

of its missile stock untouched, the air force and intelligence say so, so this year they will probably bet on kamikaze drones, combining them with missiles, but also we are ready in the air force they say accent defenses in the autumn-winter period will be carried out at the objects of critical infrastructure and the fuel and energy sector, in particular, additional units and mobile fire groups will be concentrated there. in addition to mobile fire groups, which are also based in different areas, different directions, units are increasing, their support, capabilities, and efficiency are increasing. in addition, there are joint developments of ukrainian and american specialists regarding and how difficult it is to restore, the key issue regarding our sustainability of energy systems is

air defense. the issue of protecting ukraine from russian energy terror is constantly on the agenda with western partners. in recent months, new deliveries have been announced , britain will provide the terahawk paladin to combat the patriot and germany is working on providing another system, and that's not all. on combat duty, additional systems of pppo, nasa were placed. the day before, it became known that two more such installations were handed over to us by lithuania. however, to create an air shield over ukraine, this is not enough, experts say. but compared to last year, thanks to the supply of western systems, the progress of our air defense. tangible, last year we could not shoot down ballistic missiles at all, now we have complexes capable of shooting down russian ballistic missiles, both daggers and iskanders, and the third complex is german, germany is also

handing over the second, she handed over one, now it is being prepared personnel for the second patriot complex, scheduled to arrive in january of next year, will strengthen our air defenses and specialists anti-aircraft missile forces trained abroad, in particular in germany, are mastering work on the patriot complex, which the germans promised to hand over to ukraine soon. in spain , our soldiers are training on the hauk air defense system, and at the same time , these systems are already on combat duty in ukraine. they put their hope in the air force and on the paladin installations that we received from britain, it is with their help that we will be able to destroy the shaheds even more successfully. daryna dobrovolska and vlada tsymbelenko. we are ukraine marathon, single news. well, at the facilities of ukroboronprom, licensing has already been deployed production of three models of fpv drones, private companies. the verkhovna rada supported the government's initiative to direct the military tax on the incomes of individuals to the development of

their own production of weapons and equipment. and in particular for the production of drones. we know that the antonov aircraft plant switched to the production of drones instead of manned aircraft. but drones are expendable, and there cannot be many of them. vlada tsymbalenko knows what models we will produce: reconnaissance, shock, evacuation. they attack russian ships, hit the crimean bridge, fly even to the kremlin, and also defend positions, scout, correct, destroy equipment and live. due to the power of the enemy, such a number of different unmanned systems were not used in any war to inflict even more blows on the enemy , and ukraine also produces its own birds. today , it is already more than 90, perhaps 8%, independent of

partners in the supply of unmanned aerial vehicles. ukroboronprom talked about the development of a ukrainian analogue of shahed at the beginning of the year, and now they have confirmed the ukrainian drron kamikaze went into serial production. and it is already ordered by the defense forces for their operations. we have an analogue of the shahed, and there are also more powerful models, because the shahed do not fly that far. we focused on the production of more complex and expensive projects with high performance. herman smetanin, general director of ukroboronprom. not much is known about shahed's ukrainian counterpart. the flight range is 1000 km, for example, from kyiv to kerch or, for example, to the kremlin. for comparison, the iranian shahet can reach 1,600 km. it is significant for ukrainian is inferior to the weight of the combat unit of 40 kg against our 75. first of all, they will be. are intended and will be used for

the destruction of those objects that affect the military power of the terrorist state and the ability to conduct military operations in ukraine. the production of fpv drones has also been launched at the facilities of ukroboronprom, they transmit video from the bpp in real time, they differ from the rest of the drones in terms of speed, accuracy and control features. the operator of such a drone controls it in special glasses and has a picture. in the first person, and they are very important to us necessary, because there are not enough drones, because neither ukraine nor, probably, all of our partners, our partners in the world, produce the quantity needed by the armed forces, today we produce absolutely, absolutely all the drones that are on the front, which are being purchased, these are of ukrainian production, these are large drones-copters, the drone army project provides our military with the necessary birds, they have already equipped more than half a hundred strike companies of the bpl. in numbers, these are three hundred

occupier strongholds hit by drones, 36 tanks, 83 combat, armored vehicles and three hundred enemy manpower, and this in just a week. when we talk about the drone army, we should note that this is only one of the initiatives that is working, this is again one of the very good examples when we see systematicity in the construction of such areas of activity, in the construction of... whole divisions. this week , the armed forces received more than 900 uavs as part of the army drone program, and many of them are our ukrainian ones. the drone army project began in the summer of last year, we had 37 companies in ukraine that produced, only a few drones per month, today we have more than 200 companies, thanks to the support of the state. the line of ukrainian uavs is extremely wide, reconnaissance, large shock and small kamikaze copters.

the number of drones, the older ones are a fury, the stork, so we have them, these are drones that provide almost all types of reconnaissance, and they are powered by electric motors and are able to work in night conditions, that is, they are, so to speak, difficult to detect, because they quiet, we still have such scouts shark and pd-2 of our production, they are the most effective, because they artillery give their indication. artillery already destroys the enemy directly, it can be the same hymars, and there is also long-range other artillery. and it is thanks to its own developments that ukraine can destroy, for example, russian ships, this is how seebay drones, the development of the sbu knocked out the putin samobud to crimea, the crimean bridge, tanker sikh and several amphibious ships. naval drones are generally a unique story for the world, because ukraine has demonstrated how, without actually having its own military, it can completely change

the course of hostilities in a certain territory, or rather, to take control of the entire area of ​​the black sea. drones are already called the weapons of the future, because they work in the air, in the sea, and on the ground, without once again exposing the defenders to danger. over the past year , the production of ukrainian drones has increased tens of times, and in some directions by hundreds. vlada tsymbalenko, we are ukraine, marathon, only news. meanwhile, russia is thundering and burning. undercutting, unknown saboteurs derailed a freight train, the railway track was damaged by an explosion, it overturned 19 wagons, and the russians introduced an interception plan, but they do not say whether they managed to intercept anyone. it was also loud in the moscow region, there was an explosion at the kolomensk design mashbyuro. it is there that the iskander missile systems and the kinzhal missiles, which russia is so proud of, are being developed.

and which our pppo successfully knocks down, it still started at the kotovsky gunpowder factory in the tambov region. the russians say that it was an attack by ukrainian drones, but our intelligence, without confirming but not denying its involvement, emphasizes that this is good news, and this is the trend will continue. well, the first five dutch f-16s arrived at the european training center in romania to train romanian and ukrainian pilots and technical personnel. before that, they will be used to improve the qualifications of instructors. the remaining 13 of the fighters promised by the netherlands are for training ukrainian pilots. will go to romania before the new year. the military budget for the next year was discussed at the supreme commander-in-chief's meeting. the priority is to become more self-sufficient in terms of missiles, drones, armored vehicles and ammunition. they spoke about the strategy of de-occupation, specified plans and

calculations for the continuation of active actions of the armed forces. there was also talk of strengthening the defense of kherson, its pppo, means of counter batteries. struggle, rap and intelligence, today is the first anniversary of its liberation from the russian occupiers, and we all celebrate it, the way the people of kherson resisted the occupiers inspired not only the whole of ukraine, but also the whole world, the president emphasized today, and he saw evil in the liberation of kherson from the russians its future and ukrainian crimea, because ukraine always returns - says volodymyr zelenskyi. today is one of the anniversaries that shape our ukrainian confidence that we can. thanks to the kherson operation, the right bank of the dnieper was cleared of the occupier. our soldiers then liberated a significant part of the kherson region,

added protection to mykolaiv, odesa, other cities and villages in the south of our country, and secured ukraine's success in the battle for the black sea. they became a symbol of resistance, they were not broken by torture, torture, pseudo-referendums, months without water and electricity, long 255 days of occupation, this is all about the heroic people of kherson. it is november 11 the armed forces of ukraine raised a blue-yellow flag on the city's main square last year. our tatyana will tell how the people of kherson remembered this day and how they desperately resisted the russians. which survived the entire occupation together with her city. putin, ukraine, above all, glory to ukraine. these first shots went down in

history. the truck driver dared to drive loudly and with the ukrainian flag under the nose of the occupiers to show that kherson is ukraine. at that time, he did not even know that the armed forces were already nearby exclusively for us ukraine, the driver, a 50-year-old citizen of israel, volunteered to give interview. he no longer hides his face, tells how everything happened. we were a group of patriots, we wanted to show that kherson was, is and will be ukraine, and that ukraine is coming here, so we decided to tear down russian symbols and for russians to run away from here. eyal has been living in kherson for over 17 years, during the entire occupation he was a volunteer and helped ukrainian defenders. he shows the flag with his left hand, he kept it at home throughout the occupation as a talisman, this is the first flag that was hung in kherson after the liberation, here it is, it was with me at home throughout the occupation they hid it inside the printer, glory to ukraine, ukraine forever, kherson is ukraine, then the people of kherson were without electricity, water

and communication, so when they heard a loud truck on the street and saw the flag, they whitewashed it too. ukraine! together with eyaly, we are trying to recreate the route of that day, today the streets are empty and the traffic is different, because the city is constantly under fire. we drove everywhere on tafrichskyi in the center of the city and here our military appeared, there on the mountain, people started to gather on the road, i stopped, there were many flashlights on the truck, it was shining like a christmas tree. kherson, the occupiers captured the village in the first days. for almost a month, people went out to protests every day, the most active russians captured and tortured them, it became dangerous to go outside, but the townspeople did not stop resisting, each on his own front, local doctors used tricks to prevent the occupiers from taking the children out of the nursery hospital, we falsified

medical histories, we wrote the lungs and in extremely serious non-transportable condition, we had two appointment letters. one is as it is, well, what is he eating there and everything is fine there, and the other, he hides, was raised by nurses, and the second, suddenly they will come to check where it is described, where it is painted, that the border is heavy and not transportable. at least 180 children were saved here alone during the occupation with such tricks. at the time of the occupation, 185 children passed through us in 9 months. our doctors traveled to kakhovka 52 posts, for example, traveled, then we traveled by water by ferry. then we rented boats, traveled in boats with equipment, we could only take olezhka gopra, unfortunately,

among the rescued, we sat down in a walker for the first time, is this already at your home? it's in the hospital, it's the first time i met kira was when she was in the hospital, a colleague, my friend pushed me to do this, well , she just told me that there is such a girl. come look, she looks a lot like you, especially with her eyes, and although it's been almost two years since the occupation of akiri, tatyana still remembers leaving the hospital itself, then they distributed among the employees who would take which baby, the baby put on the cuffs that they given to everyone at birth, and employees wrote all their data on a slip of paper and put it in their wallet. and there are many such heroic stories, one thing remains unchanged: 255 days of occupation and another year already in

the liberated kherson, the townspeople will continue to fire rockets and bombs, since the de-occupation in kherson alone , more than 6,000 objects have been damaged, enemy shells have killed more than 190 people, and almost 800 have been injured. the occupation has hardened, because, as the people of kherson say, nothing is more terrible, so tetyana savul, yevgennia kravets, we ukraine, marathon, and edyni novini are waiting for an interview from kherson. and that's not all we have to do, and what are the chances of unlocking it. at the frontline the cities of dnipropetrovsk do not stop building sports complexes. why is money still allocated for this? and what do their residents think about it. well, let's talk about our european prospects. european leaders should approve the european commission's decision to start negotiations on joining the eu on december 14,

even though there are reasonable fears that the december eu summit will be positive for kyiv. well, if so, already in december we will start the technical preparation process. in fact , this is what the new accelerated procedure, designed specifically for ukraine, consists of. well already at in march, we will start negotiations on accession, but before that we will have to. fulfill a few more prerequisites, what exactly? and how long will this path of membership of the european union last, olena chornyakova is a contagion of europe, and the authorities will not agree to this then, and it will lead to a revolution , russia will annex crimea, start a war from the east, and in eight years it will spread on a full scale, and right now in 2020 ... we will hear, without exaggeration, the historic decision of the european commission. we recommended today to the eu council to open

accession negotiations. this was the festive part, and today the hard work begins. along with the recommendation, the european commission handed over this document: one and a half hundred pages: an assessment of the entire state. based on this document, we will prepare a national program. preparations. before admission in the short term, work before the opening of negotiations, in the long term, all the way after. we are moving forward, and already in december we are immediately, after december 15. but what's next, from the seven reforms we've been working on for the past year and a half, we're moving on to the implementation of other recommendations. importantly, they are not a prerequisite for the start of negotiations, the lady stressed pasolies, and important for further stages.
