[000:00:00;00] to be honest, there are no signs of what you call fatigue on the part of the eu member states, i don't see it, everyone is worried, everyone recognizes the successes of the ukrainians, some people don't talk about them, because the focus is on the military achievements of the counteroffensive, but what's it worth only the success in terms of exports from ukraine, which is working, i might add that more than 100 ships have already used the new corridor and unfortunately, this military achievement of ukraine has been largely ignored by the mass media. diplomats also talked about the december summit of eu leaders, where they are preparing to consider a number of decisions related to ukraine, in particular on the start of negotiations on its accession to the european union , as well as on the allocation of 50 billion euros of the macrofin for the next four years, as well as the 12th package of anti-russian sanctions, the european commission, rfe

/rl also noted the draft of her document is preparing to ban trade in diamonds of russian origin, including those in transit, as well as stones processed in third countries, although they come from russia, these decisions, however, threaten to be blocked by hungary, so the summit promises to be dramatic dmytro kuleba's next stop in brussels is the headquarters of the alliance, where the nato ukraine council will meet tomorrow for the first time at the level of the heads of the ministry of foreign affairs, and secretary general stoltenberg is convinced that the allies will not back down from helping ukraine and sees the continuation of support as a challenge facing them now . we're seeing intense fighting along the front lines, we've seen waves of drone attacks on ukrainian cities, and we need to be ready for more combat, and more air and missile attacks on ukrainian cities. this makes it all the more important that nato allies continue to support ukraine, and i welcome

recent statements. allies for additional support. this meeting of nato diplomats, which started today, as you mentioned, the ukrainian session, i remind you tomorrow, is a kind of small rehearsal of a big event for the alliance, namely the washington summit. essentially, the ticking of the clocks for his possible announcements and steps to be taken there has begun. ukraine approved the projected annual national program for the next 2024, this document defines the criteria for ukraine's eligibility for nato membership, kuleb will present the details to his colleagues, and the allies will agree, as stoldenberg announced earlier, on recommendations for further reforms on ukraine's path to membership in the alliance. vyacheslav. thank you, zaryana, for the good news, radio liberty correspondent, zaryana stepanenko, from brussels. ukraine will not participate in the osce meeting in skopje on november 30

and december 1, ministry of foreign affairs. ukraine notified about this in telegram. the post says that ukraine highly values north macedonia's efforts as the country that runs the organization this year, but the presence of a russian delegation for the first time since the start of a full-scale invasion will only exacerbate the crisis russia has plunged the osce into. diplomats from the baltic countries will not take part in the meeting either, the estonian ministry of foreign affairs reported on its website. sergey lavrov's participation carries risks of legitimization. of russia as a full member of the community of free peoples, reduction of brutal crimes committed by the russian federation, as well as reconciliation with its a violation and disrespect for the fundamental principles and obligations of the upse, the statement says. by spring, eu countries will be able to produce up to a million artillery shells per year. this figure was named by the european commissioner for the internal market, thierry breton,

during the meeting of the european parliament, it is reported. however, the problem, according to him , is that 40% of these munitions are exported, the priority should be given to supplying them to ukraine. currently , ukraine has received less than a third of the promised million yes shells. but there are other obstacles. correspondent level visited one of the 27 factories of the norwegian ammunition manufacturer and found out what else is causing the delay. european politicians beat. gave ukraine a million ammunitions until march 2024, but an unpleasant surprise awaited them. you can't just drive a truck up to a defense company, say how much you need and leave the same day, that's not how it works. the norwegian company nammo is one of the world's leading suppliers of ammunition. the company has 27 factories in many countries of the world. these are steel

the pipes, still hot, will become 155 shells here at the nammo plant in rheofors, but the gun manufacturers say they cannot fulfill the orders they have not yet received, so they say they are responsible for the dramatic increase in volumes. production does not lie here. although the number of contracts for the supply of ammunition has increased, this is not enough to increase production to the required level. there are other barriers to large-scale ordering and joint procurement. for example, although nato countries mostly use weapons and ammunition of 155 mm caliber, there are 14 variations of these artillery shells, because each country produces them with slight differences. some industries are calling for the standardization of defense products, although it is believed that different specifications are beneficial to arms manufacturers, according to the ceo of the finnish company padria group, this should be stopped. this market is very protectionist and not only in

europe. i think this is a global phenomenon. the industry must realize that if we simply optimize our own production capacity, then the situation will not change fast enough. if we have different equipment that is not standardized enough, it will be. horror for logistics. one of nato's top officials is calling for greater cohesion at the political level. we have to agree that it should stop. a soldier in the field is not interested in which factory and in which country the artillery projectile was produced. they don't care, they just need ammunition that can hit the target. the norwegian manufacturer namo claims that in the last two. increased the production of certain products more than three times and continues to expand capacity, but what will happen if, after the end of the war in ukraine , demand drops sharply. the general director of the company suggests concluding production contracts for 10-15 years in order to avoid uncertainty in

the future. i think we should share the risks because it is very important that defense companies are profitable and that we can reinvest in research and innovation. branceik does not undertake to predict whether it will be possible to send to ukraine. about 7,000 more rounds of ammunition by march. he only notes that his company will need a lot more time to fulfill existing orders. the verkhovna rada commissioner for human rights, dmytro lubinets, appealed to prime minister denys shmegal and his polish colleague marcin vinchyk regarding the settlement of the situation on the border with poland. in his telegram channel, the obutsman wrote that he receives appeals from international carriers, who indicate that drivers who are stuck at the border do not have access to water and food. many people's health has worsened and they also do not have the opportunity to turn to doctors. the law also expires drivers' stay abroad. according to lubinets, this violation entails

responsibility, according to the law. on november 28, the poles block four checkpoints on the border with ukraine, as andrii demchenko, the spokesman of the state border service, told okerinform, there are 2,700 people in queues. the situation is difficult, the procedure that used to take 10-15 hours now takes a week, that is, it is also not easy to evaluate, so that the conditions are not human, today is tuesday, it's already five, five days , friday, saturday, sunday, monday, tuesday, the fifth day, the minister of infrastructure of poland, andrzej adamchyk on his last day in office wrote a letter to the deputy prime minister of ukraine, oleksandr kubrakov, offering to release empty polish trucks from ukraine without an electronic queue. he also suggests turning to the european commission with a request to analyze the consequences of the liberalization of transportation from ukraine. adamchyk believes that it was

ukraine's introduction of the electronic queue that led to the blocking of the border. this increased the waiting time at the border and put carriers from ukraine and poland at a disadvantage conditions let me remind you of the official blockade. the committee for the protection of carriers and employers in the field of transport, an organization formed by several owners of polish companies, was said to have an economic, not a political, character. our yulia horocheva spent a day with carriers waiting at the border, so a special report follows. this is the korchova-krakowec checkpoint. now we will cross the border, we will spend a day with the drivers and tell. in what conditions are they now standing here. in the direction of ukraine, only on this road we counted more thousands of trucks. well, we reached the last truck in this traffic jam,

you can only walk on the road here in reflective vests, and now we will try to find out from the driver how much he has already stood here and how much he still has to stand. good afternoon, hello, please tell me, have you arrived today? yes, just arrived, just arrived? what are you carrying? consumer goods, please tell me approximately how much they cost you? they said, he explains, some of the vans are parked near the forest, the drivers live in the cars, and only fresh air jokes among the conditions, some ukrainian vans are parked at the border parking lots for trucks, there are more bio-toilets here and there is a paid shower not far from here , but such a parking lot can fit several hundred cars, and nowadays there is a traffic jam only at this checkpoint, korchova krakowiec, several thousand of them, the drivers say, well, at the moment the most the last one recorded was the 2053rd. ihor is also a truck driver and

while he is waiting for the border to be unlocked, he keeps a journal where all the drivers who, like him, are stuck in a traffic jam due to the polish protest are recorded. the man explains that there is no complete blocking of the border, but the poles trucks are released 10 times slower than before the protest. that is why drivers are forced to live in traffic jams for several weeks. but if we were given a residence permit for this park, it would be 11 days. everything is fine, well, here the guys are still standing in the parks, and there are guys standing along the road, there are no conditions at all, honestly , when i stopped by, i thought that there would be some kind of one-time promotion, they would come out from time to time, shout something as standard , i just didn't expect that you could expect such, as they say, from poles meanness, as igor is talking, he makes morning coffee, right in the cabin he has a small gas stove, only gas is left, he says for a few days, while he was heating water, the next cylinder... ran out, he is replacing it, there is literally

left, you have to look, or together with tim, or two or three cylinders, and every businessman has such gas cylinders, in a few weeks in a traffic jam, the driver's cabin turns into a kitchen, a living room and a bedroom, a saucepan, there are plates, there are mugs, a refrigerator, there is even a freezer here, there is a camera further, and to save gas, drivers are often combined and cooked in one cylinder at once. for the whole company, today for chef yuriy. yesterday, borscht was cooked in the evening, a fur coat was made while the pilaf was being prepared, the drivers told us how the day before they tried to stop the border blockade on their own, got together and went to negotiate with the protesters, but the polish police did not miss it. freedom, freedom. the police are waiting around the clock near ukrainian drivers to avoid clashes between carriers. polish protesters are a few

kilometers from here. this is what theirs looks like rally. two or three people near the border block the road with a red tape and stand warming themselves by the fire. steaks and sausages are fried for breakfast. once an hour , the tape is removed and several vans are released. they are not going to stop the protest. at the very beginning of the war, each of us died at the beginning of the war, each of us helped, brought humanitarian aid to ukraine and it was normal, but it cannot be like this, because the companies have nothing to exist for, ukrainian carriers are very cheap, drivers earn 70 € each, because either you work in ukraine, or you go to war on the front, and the driver does not want to go to the front and is ready to work for 70 € per month, we have a salary of 2000 € for drivers, but we are not talking about funds here, primarily a return to permits, this will normalize the markets for us, stabilize the situation and will be better for both parties . while some poles keep ukrainian drivers in

a cold traffic jam, others help them warm up. polish volunteers deliver hot lunches once a day. ukrainian truck drivers do not refuse polish dinners. this is another way to save gas, which goes to cooking, many already have it ended there is also fuel in the trucks on the border. in traffic jams, drivers often have to start and warm up trucks, elementary. in order not to freeze, in order to save money here, they gather together near the fire and warm themselves there , in the meantime they reassure their relatives that you are crying, everything is fine, people, we are warming up, everything is fine, you have food, there is water, we asked the drivers whether do they know about the plans of the ukrainian authorities to evacuate them from here, everyone is carrying cargo, no one will abandon the car at will, there will be responsible for this, the car can be up to a million, that

for a million euros of goods, computers, for example, yes? too, and this is already the evening atmosphere in the traffic jam, near the bonfire, despite the blizzard, the truck drivers make tiktok streams and joke, during the 10 days of being in the blockade, they mastered live broadcasts on social networks and gathered a lot of supporters among ukrainians, every evening they now tell the audience the results of on one cold day, in others, they arrange an online call with their relatives and around 9 in the evening they go to bed each in their cabin. it's almost time to go to bed 10 we will understand 11 from the ukrainian-polish border yulia gorycheva and oksana seniv, public news. well, an update on alarms in ukraine, in some regions it is already going off, but in the kyiv region they have just announced an air

alert, so go down to the shelter. some of the deputies from the servants of the people demand exceptional. maryano bezuglus faction, the reason was her statement that the military leadership of ukraine, in particular general valery zaluzhny, should leave. two sources told the public about this reaction of colleagues from the faction. the interlocutor in the service of the people said that the majority of deputies are outraged by the outrageous behavior and propose to exclude it, but it is not yet known whether it will be put to a vote. let me remind you that the deputy head of the national security committee maryana bezugla published a number of posts with accusations against zaluzh. she stated that the military command of ukraine should resign because, i quote: it did not provide any action plan for 2024, neither to the stake nor to the committee. deputy from servant of the people, ihor kryvosheev registered the resolution on the dismissal of beuzyula from the post of deputy head of the committee on national

security, defense and intelligence. at the same time, in a comment to the public, the secretary of the committee, people's deputy roman kostenko said that zaluzhny was not supposed to submit a plan , it was not demanded at the committee, the discrediting of the commander-in-chief and once again what is happening, it plays into the hands of the thief, the committee did not demand any plan from the commander-in-chief and i will say more that the commander-in-chief did not present to us a plan there , not in the 20th, not in the 21st, not in the 22nd, not in the 23rd, because the committee has no other functions in the committee, it must first of all provide legislatively, it must control the committee and approve the budget. people's deputy lyudmila boymister appealed to the prosecutor general's office regarding bezugula, asking to check her activities and open a case under the article on the state council.

the deputy reported this on facebook. correspondents of the public asked the press service of the prosecutor general's office whether they had registered the appeal and whether they had started an investigation. they promised to provide an answer later. publicly demand the resignation of only president volodymyr zelenskyy can be the commander-in-chief. a member of the parliamentary committee on national security, defense and intelligence, iryna friz, informed the public. and nardepka's statement from the servant of the people, maryana bezuglo, regarding the need for the resignation of commander-in-chief valery zaluzhny, she called information sabotage. i consider this , to put it mildly, an information sabotage that was committed. e-e a member of our committee on security and defense issues is frankly e-e threatening to the unity of the country to create an artificial confrontation between the military and the political leadership of our country, we were unable to contact ms. maryana. maryana bezugla

refused to comment to the public, but in an interview with the bbc she said that she does not consider the post to be a mistake, she says that she did not coordinate her words with the president's office. we can say. what broke me is not because of all these theories , that i seem to be testing the reaction of society, i generate theses myself , of course, i am in communication with my team, but often i have to insist on certain points, because it turned out that none of the people's deputies did not delve so deeply into what takes place in the armed forces. maryana bezugla is a family doctor by profession, before being elected to the parliament she worked as a senior inspector of the center for ensuring the official activities of the ministry of defense and the general staff, and also headed the program "reform of the medical care system of the armed forces . from the servant of the people faction. she became the deputy head of the committee on national security, defense and intelligence. by the new year, the verkhovna rada should adopt a draft law that will regulate the issue

mobilization and demobilization of the military. david rahamia, head of the servant of the people faction, said this on the marathon broadcast. the draft law on the rotation of soldiers at the front is also awaiting consideration in the parliament, more details about future changes, the difficulties associated with them and the attitude of the military to this. anna zheleznyak. in mobilization, it is very important that you know how to get from point a to point b, so that it does not happen that we only understand from point a, and we understand where we left. and to prevent this from happening, they are preparing a comprehensive mobilization plan, he said president volodymyr zelenskyi during a joint press conference with his latvian counterpart. by edgar rinkevich on november 24. and therefore, the comprehensive plan of this issue will be in the next week. the task was set for both zuluzhny and umirov, the prime ministers.

they will try to vote on the full draft law, which regulates the issue of mobilization and demobilization, before the new year, - said davyd arahamiya on the air of the telethon. there are several clusters of issues that the legislators are trying to solve - arahamia concluded. this is the first demobilization of people with disabilities and the second group, demobilization of soldiers who returned from captivity, increase of capacities. territorial centers of assembly and rotation. what to do with people who fight at the front for two years without rotation? well, it is obvious that some kind of answer to this question must be given. in mid-december there will already be a first reading, it may be considered, we will try to vote on it by the end of the year. currently , another draft law 101.94 on the regulatory regulation of the process of rotation of military personnel is awaiting consideration in the parliament, its co... author people's deputy oleksiy goncharenko explains: the authors propose to replace personnel after 90-105 days, as well as if

the unit has lost more than 30% of personnel . there is a problem in the fact that there are units that have been there for 20 months at zero, in the combat zone, the unit must be withdrawn for at least 30 days for recovery. the bill has been under consideration by the committee of the verkhovna rada of ukraine for a month . of national security, defense and intelligence. military sergei has been serving since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, says: such a law should have been adopted 10 years ago. this bill, in my opinion, should have been adopted even before a full-scale invasion, in order to clearly understand how far a fighter goes into a combat zone . there was a case that my friend, my colleague, a military serviceman, had a pregnant wife before full-scale. invasion and he saw the child after a year and three months for the first time. taras was a conscript

when the full-scale war began, he performed tasks in various directions, and now he is undergoing rehabilitation after being wounded. he says no believes that the law will solve the problem of replacing people on the front line with nobody. in particular, i am a little distrustful of this draft law, there is no possibility for something elementary in terms of logistics. and in terms of resources, because we understand that in order to replace 10 tank battalions at the same time, we need to have an extra 10 tank battalions. competence must be absolutely at the level of training of all brigades. another co-author of the bill on rotation, people's deputy volodymyr ariev. he also says that it is necessary to establish the process of personnel replacement more people in the army, to encourage... them to join the ranks of the armed forces, it is necessary to clearly prescribe the rights of servicemen to

rotation, in particular, - explains arev. if we approach mobilization with the means that are available today, but these are actually old shovel means, then there will be no effect, and in some areas the level of mobilization in tsk has fallen from 70, 80% to 10% are afraid to be mobilized because they do not understand , which is the way out, except for the most negative scenario. about one of the new possible ways to leave the army, the secretary of the national security council oleksiy danilov, v on the airwaves of ukrainian radio, after the rate meeting on november 24. with regard to the mobilization of people who underwent military service , today, at the meeting of the supreme commander-in-chief, the president also raised this issue, and the president asked and the military agreed, whoever wants

to stay, but already under the contract of the army, has already appeared such a desire, those who do not, those will be demobilized. it is important not just to call people to the army - says danilov, it is necessary first of all to mobilize those who will improve the country's defense capabilities. anna zheleznyak and valery rotoshniuk, social news. above. the anti-corruption court sent people's deputy serhiy labazyuk to custody for two months. he will stay in sizo until january 21, if he does not pay a deposit of more than uah 40 million. the court session was broadcast on youtube. labazyuk is suspected of attempting to bribe the minister of community development of the territory and infrastructure, oleksandr kubrakov, and the head of the state agency for reconstruction and development of infrastructure , mustafa nayem. people's deputy does not agree with the court's decision, but says that he bailed. rather investigators started not on theoretical, but on practical

steps to really determine who is right and who is guilty. in this situation, because i do not feel my guilt, i emphasized both on friday and yesterday, and today i can repeat myself again, i did not offer anyone an undue advantage. on november 24, the court also ordered a preventive measure against the director of the nardepayuk company, denys nazimov, who was taken into custody with the possibility of bail in the amount of uah 12 million. according to the investigator, the suspects wanted to receive contracts for the reconstruction of infrastructural facilities worth a billion hryvnias. if found guilty, both face up to 10 years in prison. on behalf of. co-owners of the destroyed house can now receive compensation. this was reported by the press service of the ministry of digital transformation. owners need to submit one joint or separate applications through the action application. each of the co-owners receives their housing certificate. it can be used to buy a new home of your own, or combine

certificates with other people and buy a new one. common the public continues a series of materials about the recovery program, we are talking about today about chernihiv region. our correspondent maryna kiriyenko is in touch with us. maryna, i congratulate you, tell me how the program works in the region, what problems you may have encountered? greetings, in the chernihiv region , the eu-recovery program works in two directions. the first is compensation for damaged property. the second is compensation for destroyed property. and if we talk about the destroyed property, then the owners of the hostel in chernihiv, which was destroyed by the russians, faced exactly such problems. it was located on the line of defense of the city of chernigov and therefore damaged in it quite, quite significant.

and if we talk about the problems of these owners, they consist in the fact that if someone in the block has one room that is not privatized, then in this case they cannot accept the application from all the owners who are in this block, and as they explain specialists, this is due to the fact that in the program they do not see a unit, that is, the total of this block, but what about the damaged property, how many applications have already been submitted, how many people have already received compensation? if we talk about the damaged property, then in chernihiv, according to the information of the deputy mayor chernihiv oleksandr atroshchenko, according to the compensation program for damaged property, as of november 27, 2023, 1,478 applications have been submitted, of which 651 applications have already been decided, 422 specifically about

providing compensation and 133 about refusal, and there are also some applications, that is 57, currently suspended and 39 renewed, and according to oleksandr atroshchenko, this happens precisely because some owners do not get in touch, for example, specialists call for two or three weeks, the person does not answer, or says that he is abroad, will return in three weeks, and so for this period they suspend this review process, but if the application has been suspended, the legislation sets a period of 30 days, if the application is not renewed again during this period, then a decision must be made to refuse, according to oleksandr atroshchenko, this must be done because they cannot move further through the entire list that they have,

we also talked to the owners of the damaged housing, who have already received compensation. sergey said, a resident of chernihiv, was already one of the first to receive 2000. ah, it was in august 2023, but in september, september 15 in 2023, the cabinet adopted amendments to the resolution, and this amount was changed to uah 500,000. now he has such a problem that he cannot receive the difference of this compensation and again he cannot submit an application, since it is closed in the system, i suggest you look at the details further in the story, it is a tip, twisted, it is most likely wings, chernihiv serhii said shows the remains of the ammunition that damaged his house, he recalls that the shelling
