we know that the crimean bridge, according to the information of the security service of ukraine, was hit by drones with 850 kg of explosives, and ships with about 450 kg. well, why do russia have such drones? the first is for terrorism, to destroy some civilian vessels and pretend they don't know who's doing it, yeah. the second point is to destroy the port infrastructure. infrastructure so that, in fact, we know that putin diligently copies stalin, prepared famine in ukraine, and professes the policy of genocide of the ukrainian people, and he will continue to do so, and for him, in the same way as stealing grain, in the same way as destroying the port infrastructure, it corresponds to his strategy of scorched earth, so to speak, to make here in general...

life, or rather, the infrastructure and everything that ukrainians use, to make it unsuitable for life, and actually for this here it is mainly necessary, to say that it could somehow harm the ukrainian, ukrainian naval forces, well , it is hardly possible here, because first of all, we do not have, almost no surface fleet, and the second point, that the ukrainian naval forces, not having a powerful surface fleet, they actually control the black sea, and in fact, today it can be said that russia has lost not only control over the black sea, but also lost the ability to ensure security on the territory of the occupied crimean peninsula, so it will try to do whatever

- what will be aimed at restoring, well, let's say dominance in the black sea, well, let's see what it will be, because, well, naval drones, on the one hand, ukraine did not produce naval drones until february 22nd, now it produces them quite a lot, and russia, well, it made some attempts, but they were underwater and surface various unmanned unmanned complexes, which, first of all... were supposed to provide monitoring, patrolling there and so on, but not for combat work, so to speak, but we we know that today, ukraine has reached a situation where naval drones actually replace or perform the functions of torpedoes, this is very important, in general, in this war, various drones began to perform more and more various functions that were previously uncharacteristic, for example, ground, air

drones can... perform the function of artillery, sometimes it is more filigree , more surgical work, in the same way, naval drones perform the function of torpedoes now, and well, in the same way, ground drones are now actively entering the ukrainian army, they can lead to a situation, when the assault assault units will consist primarily of ground robotic complexes , which will already be followed by human support groups, therefore... this is a very important direction, but it, well, i would say so, its success for us depends on that to what extent the western countries will help us, again, yes, we are coming back to this, because technologies, countermeasures , well, they are developing rapidly in our country, i want to remind you that last week vice prime minister mykhailo fedorov noted or announced that

that in ukraine, an army of robots and a reb army of radio electronic warfare are being launched, this is after the drone army has been operating since the 22nd year , that is, there are some steps, but unfortunately, we have not yet systematized work in the defense industry and, let's say, what it says fedorov, this is the work of the ministry of digital affairs, the breivan platform is very positive, but these are mostly private companies, we need military-technical cooperation to work, this is already a matter for the ministry of strategy. well, it's just the minister of strategprom, we recently had an interview with deputy minister kamyshin, it's on radio liberty's youtube. mr. valentin, unfortunately i have to interrupt you because we have limited time and we will still talk about international international cooperation. thank you very much for an interesting conversation, valentyn badrrak, director of the army research center of conversions and disarmament was in touch with us. thank you.

the guarantee of security for ukraine is a question that today and tomorrow the minister of foreign affairs, a member of naiv , arrived in brussels for a meeting. on issues of european integration. olga stefanishyna. we will ask our colleague in brussels, elena abramovych, for more details, she is in direct contact. elena, i congratulate you, tell me what questions are being solved in brussels these days? good evening, daria, well , really, there have been a lot of events these past three days. thus, yesterday and today , a large conference was held in the european parliament, where they discussed ways to bring russia to justice for war crimes. another event is a large forum on the european integration of ukraine. well, that's it. meanwhile, today the president of the european parliament , along with the chairman of the verkhovna rada , sat kalyna near the european parliament, and before that, roberto metzola and ruslan stefanchuk signed an updated memorandum of cooperation of both parliaments, said that as a result, a permanent

representation of the european parliament should be opened in kyiv soon for closer cooperation between the parliaments in the future. meanwhile, the minister of foreign affairs, dmytro kuleba, will open an exhibition called make russia pay, translated from english, it will make russia pay, and at this exhibition , the western public will be able to see the destruction in ukraine through vr glasses. actually, during the day dmytro kuleba held a number of meetings with top western diplomats. and among them is the chief diplomat of the european union, josep borelli. after this meeting, borel announced that the eu would allocate additional funds for the training of the ukrainian military, in particular, the budget for the training mission. the eu will almost double the existing 225 million euros, add almost 200 million more, and so far 34,000 of our military have been trained in the eu, and in august ukraine asked brussels to expand this training mission so that not only military personnel could train abroad, but also individual subdivisions,

there are the national guard, the national police, the border service, and the security service of ukraine. to the question of journalists, whether the countries are not tired of the war in ukraine. borel assured that no, of course, the aspect of the war in ukraine is one of the most serious, among those we are dealing with, but i will say frankly , i do not see any signs of what you call fatigue on the part of the eu member states . everyone is worried, everyone recognizes the successes of the ukrainians, some people do not talk about them, because there is a concentration on the military achievements of the counteroffensive, but what are you preparing only success regarding the export of grain from ukraine, which is working, similar questions about fatigue or a dead end, which seemed to have entered a counteroffensive, sounded from western journalists who arrived at the meeting at the nato headquarters. in response, while the ministers said that they had no choice,

support for ukraine must be continued, the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of latvia actually stated that the only way to stop russia is to build up its own defense and help ukraine. arriving at the meeting, encenato noted that the main challenge now is to continue aid to ukraine, said that although the front line has not been moving recently, the russian armed forces continue to inflict significant losses on the russian army, and at the same time, it is necessary to prepare for increased fighting. we see intense fighting along the front lines and we have seen waves of drone attacks on ukrainian cities. it is necessary to prepare for the strengthening of battles and the strengthening of aerial missiles. attack on ukrainian cities, therefore it is very important that nato allies support ukraine. nato's foreign minister's support for ukraine should be discussed in detail tomorrow as well, because before them

ukrainian minister kuleba will join the meeting of the ukraine-nato council, this is the format, let me remind you, that was established in the summer at the summit in brussels, and in fact, this will be the first such meeting at the level of the ministers of foreign affairs, and they will talk, first of all, about the security guarantees that were outlined : back at the summit in vilnius, the french minister, arriving at the meeting, said today that paris will undertake a guarantee in three aspects, it is humanitarian, economic and military, as for the military, it is about the training of the military, provision of military equipment with priority, also for increasing production in ukraine itself and maintenance of equipment, well , actually regarding the state of coordination of these guarantees, and all the ministers will speak tomorrow, among other things. colleagues, thank you olena, olena abramovich from brussels. was with us on direct pressure with details regarding the meeting of foreign ministers of nato member countries. the president's office is sending troops to the united states to promote ukrainian interests. we are talking about several groups of people's deputies,

government officials, veterans and children who suffered from russian aggression. this information was made public by the publication nv. for the first time in a year and a half of a full-scale war, these will be visits to various states, and washington, as usual, is written by the newspaper, and the states will be predominantly republican, that is, those residents who mostly support the republican party in the elections. the publication refers to sources in america and ukraine, say. one of the goals of the visit should be to build relations with the republican party, especially with its conservative kralom, donald trump's caucus. yaroslav zheleznyak, a deputy from the voice faction , confirms this information, according to his data, it is about visits of two deputies to districts, states, some congressmen who are going, allegedly also elected in the office of the president. among the tasks allegedly assigned to members of the delegation is informational work on the situation in ukraine, advocacy for the allocation of additional aid, the consideration of which has not been considered in the congress for several weeks. hanna

gobko, the chairman of the board of the network for the protection of national interests joins the broadcast. anna, good evening. good evening to you. i understand that you, as a lobbyist , travel to the united states as a lobbyist for the interests of ukraine. in your opinion, this is the current decision, to send the landing party to the usa, is it appropriate and is it not too late? well, actually, i'm glad because, you know, knock. you will be opened, shout and finally you will be heard, because i do not know about the idea of ​​visits and systematic work of the national team's game, first the invasion of 2014 under the fifth president, and under the sixth after the full-scale actual genocide, constantly, and even all our attempts to meet with the president back in april of 2022, when we went as representatives of the people of ukraine and had 40 of... back then we talked with the speaker and said: let's sit down and plan a permanent

campaign, because it's important to work here not only the united states of america. next year, there will be parliamentary and presidential elections all over the world, and it is very important that the level of support for ukraine and the understanding of the geopolitical significance of the victory does not decrease. as for washington, i just returned from of the united states of america, and i can add to this idea, which is embodied by the president's office, that it is important to work, in particular, taking into account how the lobbyists have become more active, the persecution in novinsky, and how they are paid there, how bad it is for the moscow patriarchate in ukraine , how the jewish president mocks them, how ukraine persecutes the rights of the orthodox, then it is necessary, already after the visit of the all-ukrainian council of churches, to send even more representatives of various churches, chaplains, especially there are women chaplains, and this

will also strengthen, an equally important voice ukrainian farmers, because we just had a joint discussion with cindy mccain, with senator coons, who is close to president biden and will even lead his campaign, but here it is important to work not only with the republican party, something that has not been done in the last two years, and it was a miscalculation, let's say, by our representatives, because the bet was placed only on the current... administration, and therefore now we have to catch up on the things where we did not make efforts, here is hanna, but let me clarify right away, you say whose ukrainian the voice is important, but with whom to talk, because now they are not going to washington, they are going to the states, but it is precisely in washington that both the senate and the house of representatives will meet, and for example, daria kalyniuk writes that it is very important to talk with evangelical churches in conservative states, do you agree on whom exactly to direct this ukrainian advocacy, well, actually, during the trump era, i remember our visit, when we traveled, talked with representatives

of the trump prayer club and conveyed the position to them, it seems to be 2017 year, i was still in status then the chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, to explain that those who said that look at russia, president putin protects family values, that is, all this, i don't even know how to diplomatically call it, well, bullshit or in english, it's bullshit, if so often. to speak directly, you understand, but it was necessary to explain to them, because such narratives, they were sufficiently rooted in many representatives of her protestant churches, so now it is obvious that we need to look precisely at the percentages of how many evangelical protestant churches are in the republicans, plus there is a small group of maga, others who are inside the republican party, they are not very influential, but they are so vocal. loud that we need to talk to them, but this week

there is a british delegation headed by lis tras, we talked to those who went there last week, on friday, we shared some updates, so we need not only , so that ukrainians go there, it is also important that the british, balts go there, it is very desirable that it is the same, the scandinavians, since i have a map behind me, if we... take about schitzbenger and new threats to the antarctic arctic, it is necessary to explain that it is very simple, because now , by the way, there is also an increase in the number of articles that the war in ukraine is unwinnable, ukraine war is unwinnable, and negotiations, or let's review , and what is victory, well, it seems to me that it is necessary to clearly explain this message not only through the mouths of ukrainian delegations, no matter what they are , by topic, by specialists , that any coercion of ukraine into negotiations

is the capitulation of the west to the russian federation and in front of the axis of evil, and it must... be very clearly explained and for example, we also met with taiwanese representatives, because taiwan will also hold elections in january 24th, and taiwan is precisely our voice, and some republicans come to taiwanese people and say, why are you focusing on supporting ukraine, are you thinking about yourself , about china's threat to you, you are about your national interests in the first place, but i think it is important that the office of the president ensures first that there are not only representatives of the people's servants. but also the representatives of the opposition, that's what i said earlier, that it should to be a joint article by the president and general zaluzhnyi, because for many questions about friction, about the conflict between the political leadership and the military, we talked about this in the previous issue, and hanna, thank you for mentioning it again, hanna gubko, chairman the board of the network for the protection of national interests ants was in direct

contact with us, thank you, we will put an end to it, do not forget to like this broadcast, comment. your opinion is important to us and we'll see you tomorrow on svoboda live, let's hang in there. oh, there are no potatoes, you will bring them. and already, something caught my back. let me remind you, mother with dr. tice's liver bone and you get back to work. ointment with comfrey is a german ointment for joint and muscle pain. oops, tripe restores movement, for joint and muscle pain natural remedy with tripe from dr. tice, also try warming cream with tripe by dr. tice, a proven remedy,

congratulations, russian propagandists these days two topics cause joy, one is a bit strange, namely: it is surprising how the russian propagandists report about the bad weather that has hit the south now, and it is even disgusting when propagandists are so afraid to inform the russian people about something alarming that even in extreme weather phenomena they look for positive ones, look at this positive idiocy, the storm of the century fell today on the south of russia, the number of dead , the number of natural disasters in kuban in crimea increased to four, the prosecutor's office of the krasnodar region reported. approximately 1,200,000 people remain without electricity. krym and sevastopol took the brunt of the blow, wind gusts reached 4 m a second, in the mountains even more. this video went viral. a crimean squirrel desperately clings

to a branch, trying to cope with the wind. the video, as they say, is funny, but the situation is terrible, in sevastopol the aquarium museum was flooded , as a result of which there was a thermal shock, approximately 800 rare marine animals died , the monument to andrew the first-called on the sevastopol embankment that survived the storm looks even more miraculous, everything is washed away, everything destroyed, and the water with huge boulders, the embankment in ruins, and the monument of the apostle, who, according to legend... preached in the crimea, resisted, well, in a very russian way, you know, uh, to rejoice and consider the suffering of animals funny, and at the same time to rejoice that some other beating of them withstood, well, that’s how they always are

valued their puppets and idols more than any living creatures, but what is even more interesting is what subconscious comparisons come out of them, and you will now see that tse did not come up with something for himself there, but they came up with such a technique, his can be compared to the storm during the crimean war of 1854, when dozens of turkish, french and english ships were sunk, a storm of such force had never been observed in all time, and i managed to find the only such historical analogy today. during the crimean war in 56, the same terrible storm hit the crimea more than 30 ships sank in the storm. united anglo-french, well, i wanted to say italian italy, then there was no kingdom of sardinia, it participated in

this intervention, well, in total, more than 30 ships of the interveners sank, sank, because of this storm, this is the only thing it can be compared to, the subconscious of the propagandists suggests interesting things, because the comparison is very vague, 30 ships of the russian invaders have not yet... sunk, as far as i know , it is known that there one boat broke in half and collided between them, three vessels that were previously not seen as transporting stolen ukrainian grain, and a line of russian fortifications in the crimea built with chalk. we hope there will be other losses in russian troops and their infrastructure. well , the crimean war is also interesting. crimean the war ended with the defeat of the russian empire and the signing of the peace of paris in 1856. he deprived russia of the right to have not only a military fleet on the black sea, but also deprived of fortresses and coastal arsenals. such comparisons are not only positive,

but also indicate that russian propagandists are fully aware of their future fate. so far, let's put it this way, they have nothing to be particularly happy about at the fronts, although it is clear that the situation there is difficult and tense, both for us and for them, but i can say that there are reasons for joy. no, still no, well, let's see, but i always, when such almost unbrave relations start, that ukraine is all, they fall apart, i always treat it very cautiously, that is, here you always have to keep yourself in your hands, especially since on the front, the collapse is not yet visible, yes, we have some very neat , let’s say, progress, but the collapse of the front from the side of ukraine has not yet been observed, yes, vladimirovich, i completely agree with you, now until the end of the year with weapons and equipment , even if they have resources and

no one has completed the mobilization measures, their resources are quite large, but nevertheless, the period of revelation that is now coming to political leaders in ukraine, and nato officials, indicates that the situation in ukraine is quite difficult, and this is what this is what is happening in ukraine. these are, as they say, political frankness, as you can see, they are not related to the situation, the objective situation at the front, which is no less difficult than it was all these years and a half, there were no easy situations for these one and a half years, it must be said directly, but it is connected with internal things that are happening in ukraine, about which i already told yesterday, today we will continue, which frankly please russian propaganda. the headmaster must be careful now.

which does not do anything without consulting with eermak and zelensky personally, called on the central committee to resign, it is curious that earlier the official kiev in principle refuted the split between the president and the central committee, and he, as you can see, is, of course, the crown of this festival of sincerity , this is the master, and their joy so great that they even expect something to happen to them in the near future that directly inspires them. regarding the processes that are taking place inside ukraine, they are, well, every day, it seems to me, this is the speed of change, in public opinion and in the degree of public rhetoric, in the coming weeks, i think, we will see a lot of incredible, a lot of strange things,

a lot of such things, what even in the summer it was impossible to believe neither us nor our opponents, the orchestra thundered, here we are close to catharsis, or khokhly are close to catharsis, i don’t know whom... and that is why we are still forced to talk about the internal situation, because now it is not so much the russians who influence it as our internal, some things, let's talk about it with political scientist vitaly kulik, director of the center for research, problems of civil society, that's why we're talking, so that you know, catharsis has come to the russians, vitaly, congratulations. well, let's just start with the main thing, but what prompted your opinion, these suddenly really strange statements from maria. the sky is boundless and

on the part of arahami, who were, let's say there, yesterday we analyzed it in great detail, there it was not so much what he said as it was interpreted, but even what he said was said carelessly, to say the least, why is this internal thing happening now, you know, well, the turbulence is strange, well, it is obvious that after the articles and statements that flowed both from the military leadership and from the political leadership, there should have been some clarity, at least the next step, if we talk about the fact that we are observing a certain pause at the front , it is about involvement in a positional war, on the one hand, on the other hand, we hear from bankova that the military leadership should not go into politics, that is, these statements of the banker are perceived as certain political statements.

and therefore we see an aggravation, well, not a contradiction, but a divergence of views, of the directions of the political process, perhaps the banks are overestimating, or somehow drawing a picture for themselves, that here we are entering a decline, a decrease in the intensity of war, which means a certain thaw political process, although on the banks themselves constantly emphasize that there will be no elections, that elections are not held during the war, and similar things, but the tail has been wagging the dog for a long time, and we are already directly hearing and seeing that a one-time election law is being prepared post-war, or elections during the war, as they are called, on the impossibility of the law on the impossibility of holding elections in the occupied territories, which must be previously passed before

the law on you, we see the gathering of working groups, how bekofis are created, how there is a mobilization of political technologists to participate in the secretive headquarters, but so far everything is at such a low start, but they have not been launched in the process, that is, by and large, the decision that there will be elections is in the political class at the level of such a feeling more, and not already recognized fact, but this feeling, it creates nervousness. certain political fears are being signaled, the main actors, the forces that are ready to compete for power now, understand that it is impossible not to go into a false start, but you cannot lag behind, and they are trying to throw such touchstones as society will take certain possible solutions, certain actions

, i see it roughly like this, i... and the statements of the bank when evaluating zavruzhny's article, as well as some statements of individual political figures from different political forces, i repeat and starting with european solidarity , ending with the homeland, there and the servants of the people, that is, all the parliamentary political forces, feeling that there is already somewhere the smell of these elections, of this revival of the political process, enter their game with their talking heads, their leaders of public opinion and begin to shape the order, the agenda with which they will go to the elections, regarding her blunt statement about zaluzhnyi's resignation, well, apparently everyone has already spoken, and even the representatives of the office and the servants of the people in the sidelines declared that they were tired of mrs. bezovleyuva and that sometimes her ...
