[000:00:00;00] to our colleagues, who will continue the informational marathon on espresso, but before that, as always , there will be a presentation of fresh, relevant news from our journalists, the most current news in just a few seconds, anna yavamelnik will tell us, we pass her the floor. i congratulate you, dear tv viewers, it's time to learn about the most important events at the moment, and i'll start this issue with this: a 68-year-old man died as a result of another shelling in kherson. according to the head of the city

military administration, roman mrochka, that is why the occupying army struck the suburbs, under at the time of the attack, the person was in his own yard, earlier muscovites shelled some areas of the city, houses were damaged, and there were power outages. in addition to ukraine, lithuania, latvia and estonia, several other countries will boycott the meeting of the osce ministers. the head of the ukrainian ministry of foreign affairs, dmytro kuleba, reported. he assured that there are many. colleagues told him about it in private conversations, not wanting to make public statements. at the same time , kuleba defended north macedonia regarding its decision to invite lavov to a meeting. diplomat emphasized that this country has supported ukraine all year. there are countries that approached me today and said that we are here today, but we will not be at the ministerial

meeting. and there are countries that came, approached and rabies, which did not come there today, but i know that they will be at the dinner in skopje tonight, where lavrov will not be, but they will not be at the official part tomorrow, where lavrov will be , in the dry remnant of countries that do not agree with the participation of lavrov more than four, but each country decides for itself, and we respect that, which to react in a way, to show this disagreement. f-16 fighters are already available, their deliveries to ukraine will begin as soon as possible. but first you have to complete pilot training. airplanes can change the course of the war in ukraine - nato secretary general jens stoltenberg said after the conclusion of the ukraine nato council. struck

with desire. of course. 16 will really change the situation on the battlefield, they will strengthen the capabilities of ukraine so that they can inflict losses on the russian invaders, they will also help strengthen the pppo of ukraine, at the same time we must now understand that this is not a magical system that can immediately change the situation on the battlefield, it is important that different capabilities work together, after the kakhovsky gez the river developed very strongly, because it flooded our embankment in pavlivka village and then vasylivka three streets were damaged and caused a lot of damage to people. oksana, a resident of the village of pavlivka, snihoriv district, remembers how the ingulets river overflowed after the russians blew up the kakhovka hydroelectric plant. mykolaiv oblast was significantly affected by the blowing up of the hes dam. the water level in the local river rose by more than 6 meters, flooded houses and gardens.

animals died. 13 settlements of the region were under water. it was also damaged by the fact that the crops and gardens were completely flooded, and it was a very difficult picture of those people who were left without housing, more than 370 families, were flooded, and the houses were flooded, the woman says, the quality of the water from... very much worsened, it is not surprising, because oil products skotomolynyky and local landfills, all this was absorbed by reservoirs and groundwater of the region. oksana has her own well, but she does not drink water from it, as well other residents of the snow plow, buys cleaned. the quality of the water has worsened, i still have a pool at home, so i collect water from there, and volunteers also bring us water, so we go,

so that it is very good. there is a lot of salt in the water, we also have a spring in the yard, well, we didn't drink it yet, but at least we watered it in the garden there, and then, later, we bought it. at that time , volunteers brought us enough for two of us. currently , there are no problems with water supply in snighorivska hromada. it was saved by the fact that immediately after the russians blew up the hydroelectric power station, the local sverdlovyna managed to conserve. we thought that we would be able to save them from flooding in this way, so they were sealed, and we did not have the opportunity to measure their parameters, how they change or. do not change, already after the water receded, they were deconcentrated, well, of course, we saw that they were completely flooded, we drove them with soil. after the disaster, eco-activists together with scientists decided to investigate the water and record the crime of ecocide.

the expedition consists of several groups: water is collected in 12 points in the mykolaiv region, kherson region and odesa, in addition to water, bottom sediments are also taken for analysis, we took these bottom sediments in order to send... them for toxic metals, for toxic substances and generally to learn about the impact of these toxic substances on our land, and in this way, of course , later scientists will be able to explain on the basis of these indicators whether , for example, we can plant gardens here, whether we can eat food and watering our vegetables with this water, the containers are signed, necessarily with the coordinates of the area, this is necessary for understanding of quality of water at each point, this is already the third expedition of volunteers, that's how much is needed for preliminary conclusions and recommendations of scientists. the first two studies showed that the driver exceeded the norm of petroleum products, toxic

metals, zinc and cadmium, and chloronic compounds. in some places even arsenic was found. you can say that this is our third expedition, but we are talking about the first, because every scientist in the world needs three days off. data, i.e. to put information, after three expeditions, and then they will be able to give the first recommendations for us, and then we need to do this constantly, in order to find out how quickly it all seems to decompose, now scientists of the ukrainian scientific center for marine ecology have recorded exceeding the permissible concentration of copper in all the samples taken, and in a number of samples the amount of zinc is higher than the norm . arsenic was also found. scientists note that the concentration of harmful substances in water has decreased compared to previous results and add that the presence of toxic substances that were analyzed in

one liter of water is much less than the amount that can cause a fatal effect on a person, but the danger is that such substances, after entering a living organism, are not removed from it, accumulate and over time can lead to fatal consequences, and when the quality of water, scientists simply cannot predict, except ukrainian laboratories also study water quality abroad in italy and germany. the volunteers will pass all the obtained results to the specialized environmental prosecutor's office. together with the sbu, she is investigating criminal proceedings against russia regarding the blowing up of the kakhovskaya hpp. dmytro didora and oleksandr burlevich, news on espresso. espresso tv channel and the human and right charity foundation. new collection, together with you, our viewers, we are collecting funds for powerful portable velstram battery stations and solar panels for the 108th dnipropetrovsk separate brigade of the territorial defense forces of the armed forces of ukraine. in order to effectively destroy the enemy, military equipment must be

industrial zone and the escape from oleshki. throughout the week , many positional battles took place on the entire front from luhansk region to kherson region without significant changes in the front line. avdiyivka the third month of the assault on avdiyivka has begun. the russians changed their tactics. now, instead of a large amount of equipment, they attack in meat waves. accordingly, the daily number of eliminated enemies has increased substantially. in a week there were more than several times. per day, and on november 20, the armed forces of ukraine broke the daily record by destroying 1,380 rockets. a large part of which are convicts or convicts. in addition, instead of tanks and armored personnel carriers, a large number of drones have appeared, thanks to which the occupiers manage to achieve success in breaking through our defense line. in particular, in a week, the enemy managed to break into the southern outskirts of the city in the area of ​​the road junction between avdiivka and yasynuvata, as well as near the tsarska okhota restaurant. further to the west

, the armed forces held back the occupiers near the villages of opytne and severne without advancing. instead, the worst has changed the situation on the northern front from the city. here. they simultaneously advance in three directions. first, they will expand the control zone to the north of krasnogovka in the direction of novokalynovo, and secondly, they will continue to advance on the steppe village, having previously overcome an obstacle in the form of a railway embankment. at the same time, the defense forces carried out several successful counterattacks and pushed the invaders back a little to the east. however, the most dangerous for the city's defense was the attack on the buildings of the coke-chemical plant near the previously captured terekon. the russian public loudly boasted with admiration premises, but in fact our heroes managed to repel this attack and regain control. fierce fighting continues in this zone, and there are many signs that the rashists are preparing for a third powerful wave of attack on avdiivka. bahmud. for the third week in a row, the occupiers are trying to bring back control

of the tick, about the loss of which they never publicly declared. this week they actively advanced from the north, where they were able to gain several hundred meters, as well as from andriivka, where the gray zone east from kaska to ozer. to the north of bakhmut, where the russians are earlier they broke through kilometers from berkhivka and yagidno in the direction of bohdanivka and khromovo, now the situation has been stabilized. daughter in several areas of the front, which had been stable for a long time, fighting took place with the subsequent movement of the contact line. in particular , the rashists managed to advance on the southern outskirts of novomykhailivka. previously, they tried to bypass the ugledar in this way, but they succeeded. by the teeth, we will probably be watching another attempt. instead , zsu made its way to the outskirts for the first time since 2014 horlivki, where they established control over terekon. instead, the russians lost control over a several kilometer zone. kherson region.

strange events continue to take place on the left bank, which are accompanied by no less unexpected statements from the military. thus , a representative of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense suggested that russia. they will try to regroup in the kherson region by retreating from the banks of the dnieper and entrenching themselves on new frontiers. the other day there was information that the transfer of the headquarters from olezhki to big is already being prepared kopany, which is 24 km from the dnieper riverbed. earlier , the general staff stated that the primary task of the armed forces on the left bank is to move the contact line 15-20 km away from the river. this, they say, will ensure the peaceful population of the right bank. kherson region. at the same time, it will also make it possible to create a wide bridgehead for the deployment of troops for a counteroffensive in crimea. although it is still a long way from that, because so far the fighting continues to the south and east of the wells, as well as in the area of ​​the villages of pidstepne and poima. in this way, the defense forces are trying to push back the invaders side of the oleshki desert, where they will not be able

to gain a foothold. the armed forces will receive bridgeheads more than 20 km wide and in some places the same depth. it can be. to implement in case of interruption of the logistics corridor from crimea. in this regard, the news about the transfer of one hymers installation to the united states with an unknown launcher modification is interesting. it is possible that these are more long-range missiles. we win daily, death to enemies. well, let's discuss this general situation on the front with ivan kyrychevskyi, military expert of defense express. but the first thing i would like to do is actually about the statement made by volodymyr zelenskyi, the last meeting of the commander-in-chief , where he said that a line of fortifications would be built, and that literally now they have, we have enough mines and concrete there , and

local councils are also responsible for this, and everyone should take care of it. so, now to me, when they connect. to my guest, oh, congratulations , mr. ivan, good day, here is my own question, well, first of all, what does this statement indicate, because many people perceive it like this, that this is an announcement that we are moving to some kind of special , some kind of defense strategy, which seems to have never happened before, and secondly, in principle, what are the local councils for, because i, for example, in 2015 could observe similar attempts to build... defense lines, where the regional councils of different regions were responsible for them, and it did not go very well, that is, when it was not, it was not engaged in, for example, some special troops or something. then it dragged on for a very long time, very, well, let's say, not evenly, because

each regional council built something of its own, well, no, this experience was not, to put it mildly , successful, that's why i'm interested in your assessment of these statements and how it could be improved, you see, here it is a kind of story emerges, that on the one hand the intention is finally positive, although on the other hand, it is in that, it is precisely in that angle that from the rubric it is better to mark never, because, well, here is the news that our government, here it must be said in general, our government plans to build fortifications appeared after analysts calculated and it turned out that now the length of russian fortifications along the front line is no longer even 1,300 km, which in principle was such a chilling anti-record, but already 600 km, well, that is, the russians managed to build so much this year that, well, forgive me, but even if i don’t have to remember in my head all the known super lines of fortifications from the second world war, the majeno line, the manerheim line, what else we had there, and

the siegfried line, which is also german, roughly speaking, even these three lines are not stretch to what the russians were building, why is this situation terrible right from the start, well, because during the cold war, to interrupt such a crazy soviet line of fortifications, nato interrupted, planned immediately with strategic nuclear weapons, no more and no less, and there even a question arises , what such interesting calculations, colleagues from nato put forward to the sleuth, according to which, in order to interrupt such a, well, in principle, fortified line of defense, it was two or three weeks there, in three or four months they went to the crimea and back, so what is the point i'm leading, the intention is positive, but that's it you see, it is difficult even for us to discuss the implementation here somehow, because, first of all, the subjects are somehow drawn ephemerally, okay, what can be understood, what they can be for, well , local self-government bodies, although if there, as far as it is clear, they will build lines. .. where, let's say, the military-civilian administration now prevails, then there is no need, let's say, to single out this subject, well, it's clear there,

some areas need to be singled out, alienated and something like that, but why all this? well, first of all even the non-specific ministry of defense is involved, which has a really specialized structure that should deal with construction, the special transport service, or the former railway troops, well, roughly speaking, a paramilitary structure that should deal with infrastructure, which should deal with anything, rebuilding bridges, there, even according to some reports from the guard regiments of this brigade, this structure was allocated to the brigade , which is somewhere in the south, fighting, well, there , let’s say, he recorded their appearance, let’s say so, but for some reason now we have fortifications in general, minister fedorov is dealing with digitalization, and funding must be involved, extra-budgetary, let’s call it that, that is, it is not assumed that there is a prohibitive budget, which is 1, that part of it will be spent on fortification, no, that they are supposed to ask

somewhere with businessmen, patrons, this is in principle, well, somehow it looks strange, okay, if there was still a question about , you know, involving private contractors, civilians, well, because speaking, well, if who, let's say so, whose imagination will build, for himself that there are fortifications, it is something like a line of such concreted trenches, concreted dugouts, sunken firing points, well, in principle, he will be right, it turns out that the russians, in fact, for the construction of such objects, they involve not only these engineering troops, they engaged private contractors wherever they could get them, in fact, why were they able to ensure such a terrible scale of fortification construction, well, but why is it only talked about in our country, why would it not happen, in fact, it’s still here it turns out such a story that you and i are discussing now, well, let's say about the construction of a large massif of defensive fortifications where a lot of concrete is needed and that it would freeze for 30 days , just when it snowed, well, there is

laughter and sin and tears, which is a traditional ukrainian it's fun to build something there when it's snowing, well, that is, the intention is good, one could only congratulate, especially since here it is about how to finally build that infrastructure to minimize at least, for example, the influence of russian fire artillery, adjusted there these what russian air bombs and the like, this is a good intention, one should only congratulate and the like, but when this intention begins to crumble into details, it turns out, well, what am i doing, you see, i am at a loss as to what this is in general, it works out, well, i am actually somewhat afraid that they are trying to organize it in such a way that local , well, there are regional councils there or some local councils for their budgets there, but it will just take a very long time, because it should be very. .. some such

centralized and fast work, not work, which will be negotiated there for six months, so i am also worried if, in relation to the fact that, well, perhaps we should wait for some more concrete decisions in the near future, but now we have heard some simple general wish and it will be somehow detailed, at least, if we talk, by the way, about general solutions, well, you know, there is something in this , well, stylists will read these , so let’s say now, the authorities are communicating, they say, you are overheated here, you are spending money on paving stones, but not on drones, well, but, if look, there the minister of state officially declared that uah 36 billion of the defense... budget is allocated to the construction of infrastructure, well, that is, we have a story about the need for training centers of european countries there, it arises, among other things, because, well we don't have enough infrastructure, but it is possible, if there is already a desire there, to, you know, withdraw extra money somewhere, so that it really does not go to some absurd improvement projects, but to allocate it for defense, well, maybe it would be better to involve the local authorities to the arrangement of educational infrastructure

armed forces of ukraine, well, there with appropriate observance of regime- secret control there and so on. similar, but just to leave the line of fortification, which should fit into the centralized defense plan, to specialized military structures, it is possible to take all this money from the state budget for defense from there, to involve only those specialized structures of primary defense or the armed forces of ukraine, or to attract there, let's say a maximum of private contractors who have experience in large-scale works, that is, it would be worth changing there, let's say that constituents are constituents. and for local authorities to deal with rear-end facilities for the zsu, it would be logical and precisely faster and more useful. well, i hope that somehow people will discuss this and maybe some reasonable thoughts will be heard, after all , because so far everything sounds very strange, well , look, if we talk about the course of hostilities themselves, well, for example, in the intelligence

review of the british ministry of defense for november 28 stated that since the spring of 2023, the greatest achievements of the russian occupation forces are an advance of 2 km in the area of ​​avdiyivka, and this modest such movement already cost the russian units participating in the hostilities thousands of casualties, and this is also the highest since the beginning of this full-scale invasion, and maybe even since the beginning of hostilities from 14- th year, the biggest losses in general are russians, now it is precisely in the battles for avdiivka, which they are carrying, and well, if we continue to develop it like this, then we also see that now there, well, these, not that they do not calm down, on the contrary , these hostilities are increasing, and here, you know, the following question arises, we have the largest, in fact, the most equipped defensive line of this kind, by and large, even though we should be on many sections, we

now have it there near avdiivka, and one way or another, but it, well , that is, the russians are pushing it little by little, why, what, what do we lack for defense, in this case, well, because of course, everyone understands what is happening there, everyone understands that there is an offensive, we see these forces and even quite well you can see them, that is, you can destroy both armored groups and even individual attackers, and all the same, the russians manage to push little by little, what is it? explained from your point of view? well, i think that this is precisely the moment when some such general things , they fit into the general problem that there is, let's say, of an organizational nature, let's call it so mildly, that the rotation is carried out at least with the available forces that are there , well, because really, you can expand this problem with rotations regarding the fact that the mob reserve should be increased, but let's say this, there are other voices,
