[000:00:00;00] and through halych, through lviv, through chelm and back, well, yes, well, after all, we will do without territorial claims, this is a very delicate issue, but we must remember, thank you for this paragraph, andriy plakhonin, pavlo haynyzhnyk, subscribe, be sure to comment if you knew about what we discussed today, how big danylo romanovych's kingdom was and how he got that crown, be sure to like it, it's important for us, and see you in the next paragraph. you are watching the only main thing, this is the my channel ukraine and with you lyudmila dobrovolska and my

colleague oleg panyuk. good evening, this is what we will talk about today. the zsu is already on the left bank of the kherson region, the russians are crowding in to protect civilians from constant shelling, and the muscovites are ready to launch a third massive assault on avdiyivka with heavy armored vehicles. ukraine is off to a low start. our f-16 pilots are already being trained by the americans, what we still need to do so that the dream fighters will finally start patrolling our country. before the vote on aid to ukraine in the congress of the united states are counted days. what are the scenarios and how did our delegation's visit to washington affect the resolution of the issue? the marine corps confirmed the reinforcement of defense forces on the left bank of the dnieper, in the kherson direction, including armored vehicles. the photo of our defenders from there was made public by president zelskyi. the armed forces of ukraine conduct sabotage, reconnaissance

and raid operations there, trying to to keep the enemy as far as possible from the right bank in order to protect civilians from constant russian shelling. it's hot near avdiivka , the russians suffer huge losses, but every day trying to break through in small groups from the flanks. during the month of the offensive, they lost there about 1,000 personnel, more than four hundred units of military equipment and eight su-25 aircraft. the russians are trying to take avdiyivka in order to prevent a further offensive from donetsk, ours are standing, operationally, on all fronts, lyudmila gavrilyuk. unprecedented special operation of the marines of ukraine, driving, obstacles, enemy mines, heavy artillery and aviation fire, they were able to land on the left bank of the kherson region and even gain a foothold in several areas. language it is about certain bridgeheads, small bridgeheads,

on which that platform was created. from which the corresponding tasks are carried out, these are raid tasks, these are strikes on enemy troops, these are reconnaissance functions, and the formation itself, maybe some larger bridgeheads there in order to be able to act even more effectively. not much is known about the operation yet, it was prepared for a long time, the main goal is to push enemy artillery away from the right-bank kherson region in order to protect the ukrainian civilian population. from constant russian shelling. these actions have to ensure, first of all, and including, the destruction of enemy personnel, the destruction of enemy logistics points, control points, and of course combat equipment, and these are the tasks that will shape certain events in some time, at the same time while the enemy is trying to seize the initiative on another part of the front. it has been actively attacking our positions in the bakhmut direction for the second week.

entirely number for them, the military say here, the return of lost positions, because they want to improve their tactical position. enemy tries to counterattack, uses storm groups, tries to grope in small groups, the defense of our ukrainian defenders continues to begin with the usual artillery training, shelling, drones, kamikazes and directly assaults of infantry units. the occupiers again went to the corner. a blow to the tympanic heights, which they have been trying to capture since the beginning of the great war. we were able to stabilize the situation, because at the beginning of november the enemy tried to make an assault and he did not succeed, he suffered significant losses, especially in heavy equipment, it is a commanding height, it is like a fortress, and if during the defense, it is a pretty good

position, during the offensive, not. the russians are continuously attacking avdiivka, until they killed one infantryman with air cover, and the military say they are ready to launch a third massive assault with heavy armored vehicles in this direction . conditions do not allow them to start this third wave, the situation is very difficult, indeed very tense, the enemy is pressing, the enemy is throwing new units of this storm z, this , well, really minced meat, it can’t be called anything else, now the russians in this direction are literally throwing their bodies at our positions, the storm detachments. storm z, which the enemy uses in these assaults, suffer very significant losses, in some units, 10-15% of the personnel of the initial

number remained. at the same time, storming ukrainian positions, the russians destroy avdiivka itself, there is not a single surviving building there, traces are everywhere from exploding bombs and airstrikes, due to the density of shelling, not all bodies can be pulled out from under the rubble. every day they hit the city, well, if we talk about aerial bombardments, well, on average, from six to eight aerial bombardments per day, they mostly hit multi-porous buildings, administrative buildings, residential buildings, capture kupyansk - another target of the russians, here the enemy is also regrouping, so he uses small groups of infantry in the attacks, but the enemy aircraft and artillery do not stop for a minute. currently strategic the enemy has no success in this direction in kupinsky, but we see that the enemy is once again preparing to continue attacks, so we are also taking appropriate measures. at

the same time, brave soldiers, repelling constant attacks of the enemy, where possible, try to improve their tactical position and counterattack in response, in particular, advances in the direction of melitopol. lyudmila havryliuk, we are ukraine, marathon. the only news. when you can trust sergeants and sergeants, the army is invincible, and i congratulated the sergeants and sergeants on their day today president. reliable sergeants and foremen are always a support for commanders and help for soldiers and sailors. our armed forces now have more than 150,000 sergeants and non-commissioned officers, they lead the soldiers safely and lead the soldiers into battle, they strengthen the motivation, train the soldiers, keep up the morale, when the sergeants and non-commissioned officers can be trusted, the army is invincible. since

the full-scale russian invasion, 963 ukrainian settlements are once again under our flag. all of them, after the enemy invasion , need restoration and support. help norwegian partners promise. they will undertake to equip the heating points, send there repair kits for the restoration of housing, and there will also be generators, charging stations, power banks and computer equipment for teaching children online. ukrainians from liberated settlements and evacuees are planned to receive one-time monetary assistance, the ministry of reintegration of ukraine says. 29 out of 38 attack drones with which the russians attacked us at night were shot down by our air defense. they flew in several waves, these in different regions, the armed forces destroyed the shaheds with aircraft, anti-aircraft missiles and forces mobile fire groups. all iron bound for kyiv was shot down on approach. but in odesa region, which was attacked from two sides, from

mykolaiv region and from the sea, the muscovites managed to hit an energy infrastructure facility and injure employees. so far , 2,000 families in the region are without electricity, but energy workers. have already restored power, they are ready for any scenario. we are preparing for completely different scenarios, we understand that they can be both in a light form, if there are no such attacks as last year, and possibly more complex, than last year, but all this time , starting with the end of the last heating season, we were preparing for this heating season, preparing not only... restoring damaged energy facilities, making repairs, we were also preparing and restoring, building new protection systems of our energy facilities. residents of zaporozhye are recovering after a massive attack by shaheds, at night

the occupiers launched eight drones over the city, half of them were shot down. the enemy attacked local businesses. there were no victims, but there was an explosive wave damaged the dormitories of the local university, more than 200 windows were broken there. at once. residents , together with utility workers, remove glass, board up windows and assess the damage. there was a blow, my window opened. and there was a good bang like that, and the second blow was already there, then i heard that all the piles were already falling, and we were sitting with friends, we noticed a bright flash, it seems that the swindler was shot down, he then flew there after being shot down and fell there, there was a fire, he was right there fell and the whole wave went to the fourth, to us as the mobile groups that defend every night work ukrainian sky, you will see about it now, here is this video, the commander

of the air force of ukraine, mykola olyschuk posted on the network, and on sergeant’s day he thanked those of them who command these groups, here you see how an enemy attack drone with an anti-aircraft missile defense system destroys the future sergeant, senior soldier mykola salabuda, fires from the kherson anti-aircraft missile brigade's water defense, this is his first launch and first hit, and the united states of america. training of ukrainian pilots on f16 fighters began. now the pentagon is deciding which planes to get after the exercises, they were provided with spare parts. at the same time , ukraine must also complete its homework. we are preparing to receive and service american fighters, so what should be the infrastructure in the juba centers and who should train the engineers. actually, what is left for us to do to finally rise to our sky. f-16i. anna brykova knows. in

anticipation of the f-16, the first ones may appear in ukraine as early as next year. their number will gradually increase, however, the exact number of planes has not yet been named, yakit. i don't have any specific information about when the first f-16 will take to the skies of ukraine. i know that pilot training continues. in particular, in denmark, where a group of pilots has already started training flights with instructors in the usa and great britain. currently, a training center is being opened in romania as well, where pilots from both nato and ukrainian countries will be trained later, the netherlands has already transferred the first five fighters there, and the rest of the engineering staff is also being trained in other countries within the aviation coalition, because it is a whole complex . one plane, work several brigades. weapons brigade, specialists, specialists radio equipment, communication equipment, guidance systems, navigation, and the aircraft technician himself, he is responsible for all procedures

related to the glider itself, the fuselage, refueling with the appropriate lines, refueling, and tracking all problems that, well, the inspection, which should do every time on the engine. and while everyone is studying, ukraine is doing its homework to adopt the f-16. improving the quality of runways, those that are available, there are other operational airfields. a lot, next, what we need is this of course, shelters, shelters for airplanes, both reinforced concrete and temporary, and maybe even underground, here we are talking about preserving the equipment that our partners give us, we will have to take care not only of the airplanes themselves, it is the protection of all radio equipment , including radar stations, short drive stations, long drive stations, well, everything that provides it, takeoff and landing. moreover, the planes will not be stationed all in

one place, just as ukraine is currently protecting its existing combat aircraft. in the air force they assure that there are opportunities to accept american iron birds, and by the way, they will not be the first time in ukraine either. in 2018 , in starokostyantinov, it was a clear sky training, where the f e 15c eagle planes landed, this is a larger plane, with two two-wingers, f16s landed. and in the 12th year, in the 11th, 12th, in myrhorod at the training ground, at the myrhorod airfield, there was also training, support, holding of euro 2012 there . ukrainian tile ones, and american ones mostly smooth. however, for the full-fledged operation of american fighters, it is also necessary to coordinate the equipment for take-off and landing and navigation, and it will also be necessary to equip our command posts with communication systems compatible with american

communication systems, i am talking about link 16, first of all , this is a system that ensures the reception of large volumes of information on board the aircraft and, accordingly, the transmission of these volumes of information. in the future, the air force is counting on its own training center, because it is necessary to train and improve the qualifications of specialists. however, when exactly this will be implemented is not yet known, it is sceptical. so far , experts are also interested in such an idea. well, it is possible to create ukrainian educational centers, but on polish territory. we have already had as many strikes on our training grounds, where we are ... therefore, in my opinion, it will not be possible to prepare small groups, however, time will tell, experts say, the main thing is for the fighter jets to appear in the ukrainian skies as soon as possible, because they will significantly strengthen both air defense and will be able to gain an advantage in the sky, and this can save many lives. anna

brykova, we are ukraine, marathon only news. eu high representative josep borel said that at a meeting with the country's defense ministers. members, they will investigate the situation with the production of ammunition to support ukraine and ways to increase supplies. but will there be enough ammunition for us, anna grishina, more on that later. leopard tanks, engineering equipment, cars, 1000 shells and almost one and a half million bullets. this is the last aid package that arrived from germany the other day, and here is a million ammunition that is still in the spring the european union promised the armed forces by next march, it turns out to be only an ambitious goal. ukraine has already received a third, but in the end there is likely to be a delay, it was recognized in brussels. european industry exports a lot to third countries, we ask the member countries to change the route and their priority to provide it to ukraine. a million munitions remains a political goal, ambitious but still a goal.

the plan to provide ukraine with weapons was as follows: first, provide projectiles from the eu countries' own warehouses, it was carried out. the armed forces received more than 300 units, reported in brussels. then common procurement and production expansion. russia produces shells in three shifts, while europe is still sleeping, but compared to the past, it is starting to build up capacity. even a million is not enough, there should be more, f-16 aircraft or other, air defense systems, what ukraine desperately needs now. currently, the member states jointly produce less than a million shells per year to support the country's armed forces in time. the eu should increase state orders for the production of weapons - say the eurocouncil, that is, offer manufacturers attractive contracts at market prices prices at the same time, it was calculated that the cost of one artillery projectile increased from two to €800 after russia's full-scale attack on ukraine. mep, ex-commander of the

defense forces of estonia, rigo teras, in an interview with my ukraine, explains how the european defense industry works. the government needs to conclude agreements with companies, then manufacturers receive state guarantees, the cost of weapons has become more expensive, because the prices of components have increased compared to pre-war times, but the issue is not money, but the fact that large countries, such as germany, france, great britain, and italy have to increase government orders in order to receive the goods on time. for example, germany has already ordered three times more air defense systems from a local manufacturer, the director of the enterprise. they should produce eight installations per year instead of the usual three, the same with missiles. half a thousand units are expected to be removed from the assembly line in 2024. in general, berlin agreed to double military support for ukraine next year, to 8 billion euros. and they propose to standardize artillery ammunition,

they say that this will speed up their production, - said the head of the alliance's military committee, admiral rob bauer. currently, there are 14 different types of 155mm projectiles and each country produces its own type of weapon. the armed forces at the front fire 4,500 shells a week, german estimates say, which is many times more than what comes out of european machines. we cannot allow president putin to win. ukraine must be preserved as a sovereign independent state in europe and supported. in our interests. currently , most of the clothes that the west gives to ukraine are made in france, which has the largest the defense sector in the european union and norway. the european commission hopes that the eu countries will start production by spring and will receive a million rounds of ammunition. but this is the opinion of only politicians who sit in the offices

of european institutions, and those who are directly related to military affairs, such as the minister of defense of germany borus pistorius or bulgaria's todor. they believe that the member countries alone will not be able to cope, and in order to fulfill the promise given to ukraine, it is necessary to look for an alternative. for example, latvia has already offered to buy shells for our army from non-aligned countries of states the initiative was immediately supported by all the baltic states and sweden. from brussels, anna grishina we are ukraine. marathon, single news. this is the 20th package of military aid in the amount of 100 million euros. the finns give us. the contents of the package, the method and terms of its delivery are not disclosed so that the aid reaches its destination on time. the ministry of defense of finland says that they took into account the needs of ukraine and their own resources. previous military support for the finns has already reached 15 billion euros.

lithuania continues uninterrupted support of the armed forces. today freely distributed a new batch of generators, field beds and dry rations. if we do not provide additional aid to ukraine by the end of the year, it will be a mistake of historic proportions. this was stated by the chairman of the us senate intelligence committee. mark warner and influential supporters of ukraine in congress say that they are confident in the help of their country, because it is too important. and while the kremlin hopes to woo kiev's supporters in europe and the united states, as soon as congress returns to work after thanksgiving, which will be in late november or december, as the draft law on ukraine will be put to a vote, and any package will include an agreement on border policy, with details. again under the threat of a shutdown , the united states government has for the second time approved temporary

financing of the government , as you can see from the name of the bill, the money is exclusively for domestic needs, there is no aid to ukraine and israel. i am happy to inform you that there will be no shutdown, and the government will be working from friday, because it was this friday that the deadline for the previous two-month budget, which was approved during kavin's presidency, expired. makartsi, new, temporary the estimate is provided for until january 19, that is, for almost two months, it was approved by the votes of both parties. as in september, the situations are similar, if not the same, but makarki paid for such a mistake with the speaker's chair. but for mike johnson, the same is not waiting for him. it is an interesting point that this very proposal was from a pro-trump speaker, or rather a trump speaker, but in the final we saw that the trumpists did not vote for this proposal. in the end, whether they will vote in january. that is, the permanent budget is unknown, and this causes concern both in the united states and in ukraine, because currently

our reserves of military aid have been exhausted by more than 90%. about one billion remained in the field of security. we are currently stretching what is left for this year, but this is exclusively what can be spent on military aid, on what goes into armaments, but direct budgetary funding, unfortunately, they are already not up to... this the white house also understands, at the end of october, the us president submitted a request to congress for more than 106 billion in defense aid, of which 14 billion for israel, and more than 61 billion for ukraine, the rest for military aid to taiwan, construction of the border, and even such a proposal is not supported in the house of representatives, where the majority is for republicans, so they will try to vote through the senate, promising to start after november 23. i know both sides are serious about approving aid to israel and ukraine, i hope we can reach an agreement, even if neither side gets everything they insist on, on a positive note, experts say, we have a clear date

when they will return to our question, and a compromise during the budget vote already points to cautious optimism that help will come, but the only question is in what form, there is an option, either a full package , which will include, for example, an increase in funding for the border with mexico, or they will vote separately, that is, now there are two potential scenarios of the development of events: the first , they will also vote on a temporary aid budget, then up to ten billion dollars can be allocated to ukraine, the second is to satisfy biden's request and support four directions at once. people's deputy yehor cherniv says that he has already received signals from his colleagues from the usa that the vote will be held will take weeks, not months. at the same time, there are still risks that, as in the case of the election of the speaker of the house of representatives, everything can be delayed. they say that you have an absolute majority in both the senate and the house of representatives in support of ukraine, but you are somewhat, to some extent, hostage to the mechanisms of this vote, i still hope that by

the end of the year we will receive this assistance, maybe even until the end, in the interests of ukraine, the vote is complex, says the executive director of the usha democratic institute, because it will help bypass the trumpists' political games in the congress, he is also convinced that the president is unlikely to compromise with far-right republicans and divide the aid. as he does not believe that the tranche will not be allocated at all. it is possible that it will be adopted in january, not earlier. i don't think we will see an interim bill for ukraine. i think we will see one bill related to tens of billions of dollars in aid to ukraine. the biggest risk we face is time, right? after all, the ukrainian army needs help already this was repeatedly emphasized by the ukrainian delegation, which held dozens of meetings with the congress this week. of both chambers. we know how to achieve victory, president zelenskyi has a clear plan. among the priorities, he defines the development of our

defense industry and the deployment of our own weapons factories. but who will we be later, and we need weapons now. the ukrainian government already understands that aid will at least decrease over time, so now the main priority is to close the ukrainian budget deficit, which is 42 billion in the next year and to attract private investments in the defense sphere, and in any case, ukraine will continue to fight. it is necessary either to reduce support for the military, their salaries, to reduce it, or not to give it. social assistance, that is, it will be a crisis in any case, and a crisis , will it affect the course of the war, yes, will it stop our struggle, no, and one more important aspect, despite the fact that yest will not be able to fully finance the defense issue instead of the usa, now there is a certain consensus there regarding the allocation of 50 billion to us, specifically for social issues.

olena chernyakova, mykraina marathon, only news. finland closed four checkpoints on the border with russia, where concrete barriers and temporary fences made of barbed wire were installed. in the ministry of internal affairs of finland, such actions were explained by the increase in the flow of illegal migrants from iraq, yemen and syria, who are being sent to the finnish border by russia. the restrictions will be in effect until february 18, 2024 , but will be extended if necessary. the local media write that illegal immigrants are storming. checkpoints and try to get to europe on bicycles. and a brilliant international one operation. it was possible to block one of the channels for the russians to receive components for military equipment. the national police of ukraine disassembled the enemy drones, which were recovered intact from the warehouse. and it identified the manufacturers of control units and microcircuits, whose products went to russia to circumvent sanctions. a series

of searches led to, who would doubt. a russian businessman who lived in the netherlands and from there supplied his historical homeland with microcircuits for killing ukrainians. let's see how he did it and what he got for it. over a hundred drones of various types and more than a dozen missiles were released by the occupiers on the territory of ukraine this month alone. the russians managed to accumulate a missile. potential the enemy is accumulating, it is obvious, the readiness of more than 800 missiles in total for use by the enemy during the stage of, let's say, energy terror. and all this despite the fact that russia is the record holder and sanctions, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, restrictions have poured in from all sides. in order to close loopholes for the supply of components to the aggressor country, the partners have already introduced 11 packages of sanctions,

they are also preparing the 12th, because the third ones were found. countries that help to circumvent these restrictions, to such countries that are used as such intermediaries , let's say so, either to create a company or to re-export through their territory, these are turkey, the same united arab emirates, china, india, hong kong, there are such gray schemes from the countries of the european union, when fictitious enterprises are created there. citizens of the russian federation, they purchase the necessary equipment and deliver it to russia. but from now on, the european union began to block such channels, one of them this week were liquidated by investigators of the national police of ukraine, together with foreign colleagues. kanalam supplied russia with components for iranian kamikaze drones from the eu. law enforcement officers disassembled the drones into components and were able to track down the supplier. this information was transferred to the countries under whose

jurisdiction the companies operate, the violators. they were the first to react. irish, the country launched a criminal case and operation called drake to apprehend the smuggler. this is an operation aimed at finding evasions of existing sanctions established by the european union, it was more precisely initiated on the basis of materials provided by the chief investigator of the national police of ukraine. and as a result of this operation , a russian businessman was detained. the man lived in the netherlands for the past six years and violated the law for more than six months . in particular, it was discovered suspicious transactions are related to russian enterprises that provide
