[000:00:00;00] our repair crews get to places where it is necessary to repair and restore electricity, but where it is possible, where the security situation allows, our crews work constantly and restore a huge number of consumers every day, where there were blackouts due to attacks, which concerns sufficient amount of equipment in order to carry out such repair work during the period from the beginning of last year's attacks , a huge energy equipment hub was created, through this hub we get we receive help from all our partners, the ministry of energy, together with partners , has developed a special platform where companies submit requests for the equipment they need for repairs. our partners look for this equipment, purchase it, transfer it, so this process takes place

at us. it is already well established, of course there is such equipment that takes a lot of time for its manufacture, for its delivery, it is acceptable auto transformers or some, some expensive and complex technological equipment, there of course it takes more time, but this process goes on constantly, in addition, the minister together with the initiative of the minister of energy galushchenko and the european commissioner for energy kadri simpson created a special energy support fund, where countries and private organizations make their contributions so that we at the expense of this fund, we could purchase equipment that is directly needed for our energy enterprises, a huge amount of equipment has already been purchased, these purchases continue, the contributions of countries continue, that what is inspiring is that our partners did not start helping us for a single day less,

although there were certain respites during the shelling. at the same time, partners understand that we need to prepare for the heating season and continue, continue this support constantly. mrs. svitlana, thank you for such details, sometimes bad weather, sometimes russian shelling, many challenges indeed for the ukrainian energy industry. svitlana grynchuk, deputy minister of energy of ukraine, was on our air and told about the situation in ukraine. this is svoboda ranok, my name is kateryna nekrecha and later in this broadcast, we talk about no less interesting topics. in russia, the chelyabinsk tractor plant, which allegedly produces engines for military equipment, is on fire. meanwhile , the russian authorities announce a drone attack on moscow, tula, smolensk and bryansk. ukrainian intelligence unofficially stated that this was a response to a mass drone attack on kyiv. what is the purpose of the attacks on russia and what damage do they cause to the aggressor country? due to bad weather , about 400 settlements in 10

regions of odesa region were left without electricity in ukraine due to khurtel. hordelytsia three passenger buses drove into the ditch and a grain truck overturned. entrance to kyiv is currently limited. children are sent to distance learning about the effects of bad weather and what areas to prepare for. svoboda mornings with you every weekday from 9:00 a.m. on youtube on the radio svoboda channel, as well as on tv channel uso-tv. in order not to miss important broadcasts, ring the bell and subscribe to our channel. russian emergency workers extinguished a transformer fire on the territory of the chelyabinsk tractor plant, where engines for military equipment are produced. the first to report about the fire at the plant were the russian telegram channels , such as the base, which refers to eyewitnesses, and writes that before the fire, an explosion was heard on the territory, but the border telegram channel says that a transformer exploded at the plant, because of this in several houses around the plant , the light completely went out, the russian ministry of emergency situations confirmed and

experienced. that an oil transformer was burning on an area of ​​40 km, the cause of the fire was not specified. the moscow times notes that the chelyabinsk tractor plant is the main supplier for the enterprises of the ural concern wagon factory this is a corporation engaged in the development and production of military equipment, road construction machines, and railway wagons. russian t-72, t-90 tanks, as well as self-propelled artillery units are equipped with engines from this plant. this year, according to the moscow times, the plant fell under ukrainian and american sanctions. russian cities were attacked by drones this weekend. the russian ministry of defense announced successful downings in the moscow, kaluga, tula and bryansk regions, they write that they destroyed nine drones, however it is known that at least one drone hit an apartment building in tula. the telegram channel baza writes that the drone flew into an apartment on the 12th

floor due to an injury to the leg. man, later the governor of the tula region, oleksiy dyumin, said that two drones were shot down over tula, one of them fell into a high-rise building, according to him, there were no serious injuries. at the same time , the head of the pseudo-republic, denys pushilin, also announced the attack of ukrainian drones on the territory of the so-called dnr. according to him, it was not possible to shoot down everything, some cities and districts were left without light the minister of digital transformation of ukraine , mykhailo fedorov , hinted in his telegram channel that the situation in russian cities due to the attack of drones may be related to the army of drones and the main directorate of intelligence. the drone army and the band didn't sleep that night either. reasons. unknown, these are quotes, this is how he wrote: ukrainian publications, public and ukrainian pravda, with reference to their own sources in gur, wrote that the drone attack in russia on the night of november 26 was a special operation of the main intelligence directorate of the ministry of defense, and this is allegedly a response to a mass

attack by shaheds in kyiv. officially , the intelligence agency said that they could neither question nor confirm this information. joining our broadcast is ivan stupak, former military analyst. sbu employee, mr. ivan, i welcome you, thank you for joining, yes, good morning studio, thank you for the invitation. ukrainian intelligence sources say that such a massive attack on russia is revenge. and what can be said about the effectiveness of such a response, if it is really revenge, or can it be called this attack in general is one of the most massive on russia, and should the russian forces always expect such mirror responses now. yes, well , look, well, i wouldn't think from the point of view, it's revenge, yes, because. revenge, then russian revenge, then ukrainian revenge, again russian , and in this way we can simply tire our western friends, they can refuse to help us at all, since we reason in categories of revenge, this is not the italian mafia, this is not a vendetta, this

war, and it is necessary to exclude this phrase from the vocabulary, this is once, and secondly, i am sure that such things, if they were prepared by us, then they must be prepared for a long time, it's not just that, we were sitting there at 5 in the evening, oh, let's start. i don't know there are 20 drones on the territory of the refi, but where? well, here, here, and here, let it be, yes, well, of course, this is all calculated, if they are launched, some targets are calculated in order to hit them, somewhere to distract the pppo, somewhere to hit, for example, the headquarters of the fsbeshniks, which is not on lubyanka is located, and somewhere there, on the outskirts of moscow, perhaps some design bureau, which manufactures rockets, blueprints for rockets or microelectronics are made, that is... there were goals like that for everything, but about the mass, well, let's be frank, unfortunately, the russians have more massive attacks, much, well,

come on, saturday 75, drones, well, that's it a lot, we don’t have such a thing, we don’t have such a number, moreover, the russians give ukraine nightmares every night, somewhere there they launch two or three, drones are scouting, somewhere there are a little more, but in any case, they have more intensive launches than ours, but russian sources, in particular the leaders of the so-called dnr claim that ukraine allegedly fired artillery and khymars at distribution substations in the occupied donetsk region, which left many villages and cities of donets, mariupol and mangush without electricity, and whether these systems could have struck, and what was the purpose of such an attack , do ukrainian forces need to de-energize the occupied territories, and if so, why? well, look, it's possible to do it, it's war, listen, they're de-energizing our territories, well, we can do it, on the occupied ones. moreover, a large number of consumers, they connected to power grids, or rather consumers of a military nature, these are some military bases, repair bases that do not function without electricity, headquarters, some russian ones also have electricity, well, there is no electricity

in headquarters, in repair bases, some production facilities, everything, well, it is paralyzed for a certain time, the work of russian logistics, in principle, there is really a goal here, if it is just to destroy it, look at the substation, which... i don’t know, feeds some microdistrict, i don’t know mariupol there, well, there is no point, and if this substation is also feeds the great military object, of course, vetam is already more interesting, ivan, you have already said about the massiveness, indeed the russian attacks on ukraine in this sense are massive, more massive, and if we talk about the means of defeat, then we see that russia is perfecting those shaheds, accumulating their number for such strikes, and what can ukraine oppose here and whether the rates of production and the number can be compared here, i also mention the word team here. of the united forces of the armed forces of ukraine serhiy naev, who in an interview with abcnews said that the war could go beyond the borders of the east and the south, if russia will continue to increase the production of weapons and improve technologically with the help of its allies, for example, and ukraine will feel a decrease in help

from its partners, well, ukraine must do its own production, listen, we will not be helped forever, we must understand this, it is up to us they are already saying somewhere directly, somewhere indirectly, but more directly, directly, that we cannot give you how much... 20 or 30 billion dollars per year, well, there is no such money in europe, yes for the first year, okay, this year there is a little less in the 23rd, in the 24th there will be an order of magnitude less, you should focus primarily on yourself, it is very interesting that we are developing ppv drone systems, first person, these drones, when online operators direct these drones costing $800, carl, $800, this is not $500 for one projectile, moreover, you can adjust it there, they are mass- produced here, but also in russia, unfortunately they are jammed, but radio-electronic means, radio-electronic warfare, drones simply work lose contact, they would just even be when they just

hang in the air and he hangs in the air, can't move anywhere, then his battery runs out and he just falls to the ground, that is, the russians have such opportunities, but so do we we manufacture these fipovdrones in large quantities, we would need to manufacture russian shahed analogues, iranian analogues, geranium analogues, this is not some kind of rocket science, i don’t know, something so incredible, yes , there is just some nuclear physics that is very conditional... just make 50 kg of explosives, an extremely efficient story, yes, the cost is $20,000, but we have to make a hundred of them a month, maybe a hundred a day at most, in order to balance the russians, the russians unfortunately, they can make there until 1000 units, such figures were called, and this is a very big and unpleasant story for us, that washington and berlin plan to help ukraine in such a way as to maintain the current front line, but it was not possible

to liberate... territories, that is, to create such the conditions for zelsky to even be forced to go to negotiations with putin, and the alternative to negotiations can only be a frozen conflict, this was written by julian robky, a military columnist for the bilta publication, he refers to one anonymous source, do you think such trends are really being observed, can they be , look, there may be, since once again they cannot help us forever , sooner or later this help will go to a decrease in intensity and we will be forced, maybe there, something to do next, okay, we will have our own production, we will hold back the russians, but we have to somehow, sit down at the table and win with the russians, maybe not directly, maybe it will be indirectly, i am only suggesting once again, as an option, it can be like a grain agreement with the russians, we in fact, this grain agreement was not signed with them, we signed on one side ukraine un, on the other side russia un and that's all, but two pieces of paper, well none, well there are no signatures of the russian and ukrainian sides on one sheet of paper,

there could be such a story , but here for everyone and for the countries of the west, well, for all of them, the leaders, a big question, i once asked the foreign observers there, and they also cannot answer, how to make the russians keep their word, even theoretically, hypothetically, yes, some kind of peace agreement has been concluded there, we understand that this will be the 17th and 20th years, when the seemingly peaceful territory of ukraine, on the demarcation line , there is constant shelling, someone has been injured, traumatized, that is, it could be such a story, i see the russians want a truce, a truce i'm in order to take a breather, gain new strength and then after 5-7 years to go on this path of war again. that is, the truce is such a freezing of the conflict in order to accumulate strength. i thank you, thank you for joining our broadcast, difficult questions are before us, every time we discuss them, it is nevertheless important to understand different views and points of view, ivan stupak, army. an analyst, a former employee of the sbu

was a guest of our broadcast. this night, the snowfall reached the capital, as of 7:30 a.m. trucks are prohibited from entering kyiv due to the snowfall. such decisions were made by the authorities in order to minimize traffic jams on highways and ensure the movement of snow removal equipment. the local authorities urge residents of kyiv region, especially drivers, to wait out the bad weather at home. general educational institutions work in a mixed offline and online mode, parents decide whether to send a child to school, according to the kyiv city military administration. the most difficult situation is in the odesa region, there, due to snow, poor visibility and strong wind, traffic is prohibited on a number of sections of highways. in particular, as reported by the head of the odesa regional military administration oleg kiper, traffic on the odessa highway

is prohibited until the consequences of bad weather are overcome. traffic for trucks is restricted on the odesa-kuchurgan highway, the state emergency service reports that rescuers freed 121 vehicles from the snowdrifts, including five buses and five medical vehicles. hundreds of settlements in the region remained without electricity. in odesa itself, interruptions in heat supply are also reported, there are... about boiler houses that were left without electricity due to bad weather, the local regional military administration reported that a strong wind destroyed a hundred-meter pipe of one of the city's boiler houses. due to unfavorable weather conditions , the passage of cars at the border checkpoints into the territory of moldova has been suspended, the state border service of ukraine reported, the second orange level of danger has been declared in the south-eastern regions of ukraine. a storm and strong winds are also observed in crimea occupied by russia, as reported by local telegram channels.

they write that waves in the sea reach 9 meters. in some places, the water flooded the highways, in particular , the highway near yevpatoria. occupation the authorities of the peninsula report that more than half a million residents of crimea were left without electricity. in sevastopol, bad weather brought down trees in some areas of the city , power lines were broken, according to the so-called head of sevastopol, appointed by russia mykhailo rozvazhaev, today the city has declared a day off due to bad weather. about the weather conditions in odesa, we will continue to talk about the weather conditions in the odesa region. i congratulate you. ms. maryna, thank you for joining, please tell me the news, what is the situation in the region in the morning, in which settlements the situation is the most difficult, congratulations, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, such a difficult situation, it was a very difficult night, in fact, especially when people

began to panic closer to night, precisely those who were in traffic jams, which were in snow tents, and telephones, rescue services, they just broke so much. that the line was ringing and there were calls every second, many people who could not reach us tried to do it, to do it through our instagrams, facebooks, through journalists, mass media, because it's just that there were calls to the 101 line every second, they worked all night, they worked together with other emergency services, with communal services, in total , yesterday and overnight, more than 500 cars were pulled out of traffic jams from snowdrifts, from which... 15 - these were exactly buses and 12 - these were ambulances, they rescued people, they transported many people to odessa, but tonight they also transported to odessa through the nearest settlements, the situation

was difficult, because of which, for example, rescuers we were going specifically for some kind of call, we knew, for example, that the bus was stuck and we were going to rescue people from the bus, but in order to get to the run, there were sections where there were very heavy traffic jams and where a lot of cars were stuck, we had to get them , and then we were already headed there, well, where these buses were, so it was all time, it was all a lot of physical work, but we are coping, the work is still continuing, the rescuers are still helping and we are continuing, now the weather is not as bad as it was yesterday, now it's a little calmer, so now it's a little easier to work, there are people on the tracks at the moment. who need help, evacuation, yes, there are, there are still people, there are, so we are still working , please tell me about the heating points, i understand that you place them where it is necessary, including near tracks, where it can be, tell about their work, who are they for? well, first of all, we have our

points of invincibility of the dss, where people can go if they need help, tonight, the rescuers transported one paramedic to the private house where she gave birth the woman, then the paramedic, together with the woman and already with the baby, were brought to the point of invincibility in the fire station of the state emergency service, and now they are there and waiting for when they can move to the hospital, and people can also apply to such points of invincibility, of course, more additional heating points were installed, and from the emergency department and the authorities, and especially in those places where, as people called it, we were stuck in the middle of the field, they were brought to the nearest settlements, where the authorities had already created places for them to stay there , well, that's it was at the base, more at the base of which kindergartens, schools, where people could wait out this bad weather. marina, if we talk about the number of people who currently need this kind of help on the highway, you say that the work there to save

people continues, how many people are there, how many cars are there, are we talking about private transport or passenger buses ? there were, but there are, and we cannot say how many, because every few minutes new calls to the rescue service arrive, new calls are registered, and the rescuers go to help, well now, at the moment, there are about 15 places where rescuers are providing help, but these numbers are updated every 10 minutes , if we talk about such things, then in the news there is information that due to strong winds at one of the odesa regional boiler houses of high power , there was an accident there, a pipe fell behind the towers for more than 100 m. what can this affect, how long will it take to repair and in general, what is the situation, how many people... in odesa currently remain there without light, without

heat, and i cannot answer you on it question, we are rescuers, and the repairs will be carried out by qualified people, if you can tell us which settlements in odesa region are the most affected by bad weather, well , yesterday we had the most challenges in the podilskyi, berezivskyi, belgorodnistrovskyi districts, that was where it was the most, well, so is bolgradskyi, now i am starting to list and understand that probably the entire region of the odesa region that was affected was in a very difficult situation when the odesa-reni highway was closed again, all the cars began to look for alternative routes, such as they had to get there, because they really had to, and they drove through bypass roads, and that 's where the real hell began, because they were all stuck there, even, well, that is, large oversized cars could not pass and they needed the help of rescuers. and other services. marina, what kind of advice can there be for people who find themselves in such situations , where to look for information, this is such a moment,

as of yesterday, when it is now, we are already talking about it, and it has already happened, already an experience, you can use it, but when people find themselves in such a situation, with no way out, they are trying, as you say, to find these ways themselves, by which to somehow bypass, leave, get out of this situation, how to act in general, maybe stop and try a promonitor, maybe call... dss to ask for advice, and maybe we really need to act faster for to somehow get out of this situation, to leave this track, which is covered with snow. yes, well, it may be too late to say about it now, but they knew about the bad weather a few days ago and shouted about it from everyone, through all mass media, as well as the state emergency service and all other services, and asked people to refrain from some long-distance trips, but as we saw yesterday, everyone just has to go somewhere... there was and well, for example, there is a difference when a bus goes there from another country, it was planned, and people, well,

that is, people planned it, and when people went just from some populated place in the neighboring area 50 by 50 km and the same warning was given, everyone understood what kind of bad weather it was, everyone understood what the consequences could be, but this did not stop anyone at all, here, first of all, it is necessary to appeal to the consciousness of people , and because there was a lot, in fact, a lot work. and the work still continues, but if it happened that a person got into such a traffic jam, first of all, probably, don't panic, because yesterday it was precisely because of the panic that our dsms telephone lines went down, because people just started having tantrums and call, calmly, explain where he is and wait for the help of the special services, mrs. maryna, what is the situation on the coast of black dad, we did not ignore anyone, no challenge, but simply where it was really difficult and long to get to some of them, but we

not a single one was ignored, that is, any call that came to us, it was worked out, if it was not, it is being worked out now, but help will be provided to everyone, ms. marino, how many people were involved and how much equipment was involved in this work, in the morning on at eight o'clock on the morning of the 8th, 700 rescuers, these are already those who worked yesterday, yesterday day and night, there were 700 rescuers, there was a lot of equipment, probably all the fire-rescue equipment available in our region was involved, as well i want to ask you which one the situation on the black sea coast? eh, well, the situation is, if people don’t go there, now, when it’s cold and when the weather is like this, then everything will be fine with everyone, and everything is fine with the sea , it doesn’t go beyond the shores, so, that’s why everything is fine with the sea now everything is fine, now there are problems on the roads and we help people on the roads. thank you for participating and for your work, maryna

martynenko, spokeswoman for the state emergency service in the odesa region, was a guest of svoboda ranok and spoke about the situation in odesa. this is freedom of the mornings, and we also talk about the situation in our broadcasts, which arose on the polish-ukrainian border. polish strikers are starting a round-the-clock blockade of the checkpoint today. doctor shegini, previously she was partial during the day , the spokesman of the state border service, andriy demchenko, said. this will be the fourth completely blocked control point along with jagodyn dorogusk, krakowiec korchova and ravaruska grebenne. the strike has been going on for the third week, it started on november 6. during this time , about four hundred trucks gathered in queues at the border. more, only at one dorogusk checkpoint, the queue stretched. for 30 km, ukrainian drivers have to stand in queues without proper conditions, in particular without access to pharmacies or even toilets, during this time two drivers have already

died, among the trucks there are many cars with fuel... and humanitarian cargo, which the polish strikers promised to let through. ukraine intends to evacuate ukrainian drivers who have been waiting in line for three weeks at the polish-ukrainian border, as of now only about 20 drivers have volunteered, and when such an evacuation will take place, it is possible for now also unknown, most drivers do not intend to evacuate, as they are responsible for the goods they are transporting. yesterday we announced the possibility of taking... some of our drivers to ukraine, today we have, in fact, in a day and a half, about 20 drivers who volunteered and wrote to us that they have a desire to go to ukraine for a certain period of time, we undertake to pick up, bring, respectively, cross the border, in both directions, and for us this is very important

in order to actually preserve health our... drivers, as we know that we already have, unfortunately, two drivers who died while waiting in queues to the border. radio svoboda correspondent halyna tereshchuk talked to drivers who were blocked at the border due to the protests of polish carriers, please listen , on a day, that is, a day, it turned out that there was no traffic at all, and you witnesses from afar at home are waiting for you, well, yes , i still have a grandson or granddaughter to be born, but from day to... day, sanitary conditions, this is almost for the whole time we have come, this is all they can to be at this gas station, it’s true, there is a charge for a shower, they brought us water, yes , i won’t say the truth, they carry such a soup, some kind of seagull, so what did the european union do for us, this transport visa-free, if

at least some transportation had started, if not yes, not like that, as it turned out, the company there was given only two... per month for one or two cars, but it caught us a little bit, it caught us, instead , the polish side says that the border will be unblocked in a few hours, as soon as ukraine initiates the fulfillment of their conditions, i.e. return permit procedure for trucks to enter the eu territory. in addition, the polish protesters want to cancel the queue in ukraine, because polish transporters with empty cars were passing through ukraine without a queue. yes, like the country of ukraine. the ukrainian side accuses us of blocking transport , but we support ukraine in the war, but these successes at the front are another matter, but ukrainian carriers dominate the polish market and cannot do it at the expense of polish carriers, it is the will of the ukrainian side to resolve protest. currently, the ministry infrastructure is working with the european commission to unblock the border, but so far the negotiations have not been successful.

i will remind you that we are following this topic, and you see, our correspondents were...' these days on the spot to see what the situation is on the polish-ukrainian border, and we will, of course, discuss the political aspect on our broadcasts. i will remind you that our streams on the radio liberty channel are with you throughout the day, subscribe to our youtube channel and be sure to set the bell in order not to miss important live broadcasts. freedom morning, morning broadcast, morning stream with you every weekday from 9:00 a.m. on the radio svoboda channel. and also on the air of the tv channel, we inform you in the morning about what is happening, well, if you want to stay up to date with events during the day, subscribe to radio svoboda, we are on all social networks where it is convenient for you, please use on your phones and computers, my name is katya nekrecha, i and the whole team are saturday morning, i wish you a good
