subjects of the occupiers. defense forces in the kherson area were struck by the russian buck anti-aircraft missile complex. the video of how it happened in telegram was distributed by the strategic communications department of the armed forces of ukraine. the coordinates of the placement of russian equipment were given to the ukrainian military by the units of the sbu. the target was hit from the heimers jet system. they teach drone pilots all the way. weeks, the fourth month , the volunteer military-tactical academy vortex trains operators of attack drones, the bird control course is free, it can be pass both military personnel and civilians who are just going to the front. the academy is based in dnipropetrovsk region, our correspondent valeria kholodovova saw how the training is going. one two three four.

the crews simultaneously lift the birds and overcome the obstacle line, after learning how to maneuver, they will practice working with the payload. among those who are completing their studies, a fighter of the ukrainian volunteer army, vladyslav. in the peaceful life of the artist, in the very first days of a full-scale war, he took up his hands weapons he has been working with drones for the last six months. attack drones are developing very quickly now. and in order to support our aerial reconnaissance, we went to train for combat drones in order to overtake the enemy not only from the ground, but also from the sky . now it has already caught up with the russians, the russians have begun to actively show their direction in this regard. not only military, but also

civilian, which are planned in the near future to join the defense forces of ukraine. i am a civilian to the bone of the brain, i had nothing to do with the military at all, and what’s more , i got to know drones, drones in general, and drones specifically for training, so i am, so to speak, learning from scratch, but it seems to me that i am even learning from a minus . oleksiy aitishnyk from dnipro, a father of three children, was always helping the army as a volunteer. now, when his family returned from abroad, he decided to go to the front, primarily to protect his family. the guys who are at the forefront, they bought us time, gave an opportunity to sort out some of their affairs, to prepare. i thought that i was not a military person at all, and in order to be useful, not just to go there and become some kind of unit, but to be useful at the front, i should get some kind of military specialty, the cadets of the academy are trained for two weeks, the program was developed by a fighter pilot of one of the most successful shock

units, he is the chief instructor here. it is very difficult to train an fpv pilot, it takes a lot of time and a lot of resources. we discarded everything superfluous and everything superfluous, added to course only what is necessary for combat pilots. vyacheslav shares consumables during training, as well as on the battlefield of drones. drones break every day, batteries burn out, propellers bend every day. we always need drones for both advanced and school, controlling fpv drones is difficult, such devices do not have a lot of sensors and stabilizers, so every movement of the bird depends on the operator. if normal drones have a limited angle of inclination, then fpv drones have speed first up to 150 km/h and unlimited angles of inclination, that is , you can cover the enemy from any angle, cover the blind. to cover the equipment, it's just

incredible. in four months of operation, the academy has graduated about a hundred fpv pilots. volunteers cooperate with shock units, which take in cadets who have successfully passed the final exam. valery kholodeva, yehor lyuberchuk, tv channel rada. national marathon, united news. drones are extremely important in modern warfare, the military emphasizes. so each of us can help our own right now donor on the screens, you see a qr code, you need to scan it by pointing the smartphone camera and donate the amount you can afford. ukraine has agreed to a new reform plan, an annual national program. it includes, in particular, changes to interoperability, energy security, innovation, cyber security and resilience. general secretary jens stoltenberg announced this at a press conference at the alliance headquarters. according to him, nato. highly

appreciates the progress of reforms demonstrated by ukraine, in particular, it was also discussed at meeting with the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine dmytro koleba. and today i heard for the first time that what we have been talking about and calling for so long has resonated, and they are already saying not only that they will support their defense companies, but that it is necessary to really create a system, because only an integrated system of the defense industrial complex can meet the needs of this war. the fact that the ukrainians were able to hit russian military facilities in the deep rear, destroying planes, helicopters, that essentially without having fleet, they were able to move the black sea fleet of the russian federation to novorossiysk, which allowed to unblock the black sea grain corridor, this is a great achievement. israel and

hamas held another exchange on wednesday evening, just hours before the extended truce expired. hamas released 16 hostages, including israelis, dual nationals and thai nationals. israel, in turn, undertook to release 30 palestinian prisoners, 16 minors and 14 women. let me remind you that a four-day truce began on november 24 between the warring parties. later, it was extended for two more days. in the previous five days, hamas released the 81st hostage. slovak carriers threaten to block the movement of goods. on the border with ukraine since december 1, the head of the union of slovak carriers stated this and added that they are waiting for the reaction of the ministry of transport before making a final decision, if it does not satisfy them, the vyshne-nemetske checkpoint, uzhgorod, will be closed.

protesters said they will not block traffic for buses and cars. preserve history, digitized archaeological finds, historical buildings. and unique landscapes. the ministry of culture and information policy is launching a single register of immovable monuments of both local and national importance. data on sights from the temporarily occupied territories will also be entered into the database. there is a monument in the system, there are already more than 105,000 cultural objects. in general, such a register will make it possible to analyze how many cultural heritage objects there are in ukraine and help to properly monitor them. subsequently, the register plan to merge with a single electronic system in the field of construction to protect historic buildings and sites from illegal destruction. the register is designed to create transparency in our work, to minimize corruption

risks, to make data accessible, so that the most important thing is that the efficiency of decision-making becomes much higher. deputies, an expert commission, the institute of national memory, and the military administration are discussing what to do with pushkin and everything soviet in odesa. dismantling question the officials plan to put the monument to an online vote, and for now the russian poet is occasionally splashed with paint and painted. svetlana dovzhuk knows more. this is the fresh work of an odessa artist, covering the memory pedestal with red paint. pushkin on primorsky boulevard, so in november myets decided to demonstrate his attitude towards the imperial poet. those who oppress us express their opinion regarding the illegality and maximum illogicality, during the war, in the place, in memory of the main poet . there are two in pushkin in odessa,

a monument that has been covered with paint for 135 years, the younger sculpture near his museum is more than 20 years old, and during the great war it was praised more than once, the last one was written. it is gone, and this is not the last mention of the poet in the city. pushkin's shadow appeared in odesa, in odesa there is a memorial plaque on diribasivska street, where pushkin used to pass near the richelieu lyceum , he went there, maybe he went there , you see, odesa is a memorial plaque to pushkin's brother, these pushkins were simply poured into odesa, you know, just as markers , again, although pushkin lived like that in odessa for 13 months, well, this does not mean that he should be everywhere. what to do with the imperial past in the place is decided by the city's historical and historical commission, which decided to leave the painted monument on primorsky boulevard in its place, despite the government's permission to dismantle monuments to russian and soviet figures. the institute has memorized its suggestions, it believes that it is better

to keep historically important monuments in museums, if they are subject to the law. here are all the monuments that were established and related to the imperial past in that period. between 2007 and 2013 in odesa, that's all, almost all these sights are newly renovated, this is the same pushkin on pushkinska street 13, which is now closed, you can discuss, talk, discuss about this 19th century monument, because it is really the 19th century and it has a certain cultural value and even good, let the wide circle of the public get acquainted with pushkin's work, which he wrote in the context of russian chauvinism, and monuments to pushkin are not the only symbols in the city that remind of the imperial past. the alexander column monument in shevchenko park as well they repeatedly poured paint as a form of protest, the traces of which have not yet been washed away. recently, the commission recommended leaving the architectural monument in place and only removing

the decorative elements of the imperial symbols, as well as changing the name in the state register. historians suggest leaving the columns and changing only the plaques. we are talking about plates that were made not so long ago, 15 or even less years ago. this is what they all mentioned, the alexander column for its history. what she was not. it seems to me that she just has to change hers once again value. for now, fate. the pre-imperial past in odesa is determined by the local government, which must also implement the law on decolonization. if the officials at their level do not cope, says lawyer artem kartashov, the military administration will take over the entire soviet heritage. the odesa city council has until january 27, 2024, that is, there is very little time left to rename all the streets that are subject to the law, and to remove the monuments, but i am sure that under the pressure of society , veliky part of such streets or monuments will be demonetized in the near future. thus, under public pressure last year in

december, a monument to the russian empress catherine ii was dismantled in the city center. a dozen times, inscriptions were left on the sculpture and red paint was poured over it. so the activists emphasize that they will not be silent until the city gets rid of its russian heritage. svitlana dovzhuk, oleksiy baranovskyi, tv channel rada, nationwide marathon, united news. musician. mykhailo tofiychuk, a folk master from ivano-frankivsk region , has been making ukrainian musical instruments with his own hands all his life. tools in addition, he plays masterfully on each of them. today, milts is 84, and he continues to create pipes and lyres, violins and trembites, our ivan siretskyi met the man rkestr. mykhailo mykolavych always has his pipe in his pocket. he remembers that he made the first one at the age of six. and drazu immediately learned to play it, and in a year he mastered a more complex instrument. at the age of seven, i caught

a paper clip on the first day and tuned it and already started playing the melody, so without science, without anything, no one showed me anything. at the age of 12, mykhailo had already produced and own violin. since then, the man has been creating unique hutsul instruments. at the age of 24, i made cymbals, i didn't see anywhere that i looked at how to make them. that's what i planned in my head, well, the bagpipe took 26 steps, a shin, a man made such a lyre when he was over 60, i remember the first time i saw this instrument as a teenager, it was played by a blind lyre player under the church, as i was driving to the church, i go to see what is playing so cool, and the sound is peaceful and cool. mr. mykhailo says that he always played by ear, not notes

he still knows, he didn’t want to learn to be a musician, but he worked as a blacksmith, he always did work for himself in the forge, because he was a collective farm worker who had to do all kinds of work, forge horses, drive sleighs, and make horseshoes, but i didn’t put my music on display, i didn’t put on , and after work at night he created musical instruments, here in this small workshop, where he still works, here i have a friend. it is done, mykhailo tafiychuk shows the instruments he made by himself and tells which ones he knows how to play, these are the wooden horn, the hutsul cymbals, and the tylinka, he says not to choose a favorite, i love everyone who took it, played it, whoever took it, played it, one trumpet i can no longer play , because i have no teeth, now he is the only one in ukraine who knows how to make an ancient... musical instrument from goat skin and wooden pipes, the master convinces, his bagpipe better than

bagpipes. scots are made of plastic, they are so faithful that it is not hard to listen to them, yes, and this is better. currently, mr. mykhailo creates musical instruments not for money, but for the soul. it's enough for me, i don't build warehouses, i don't build houses, i don't do business like that, tools there are folk craftsmen not only in ukraine, but also abroad. there are in new york, now there are in canada, now there are in mexico, well, i can’t remember them all , you know, i don’t know, they all say yes, i will die, but my instruments will be there, there are inscriptions, there are what, who did, however, for dozens of years of work, the master never found someone to whom he could pass on his knowledge, i told my grandchildren, let's learn to make the trumpet, and if you don't have the desire to do everything, then you have to love the work, ivan siretskyi, vadym

hanna gomna works for you. i am maksym sborovskyi. pensions and social benefits will increase next year. in the budget. which signed by the president , 469 million uah are provided for social expenses, which is 25 billion more than last year, the minimum pension will increase by 268 uah and will amount to 2,361 uah. the minimum wage will increase by uah 400. its size will be uah 7,100. social expenditures remain one of the priority areas in the budget, the head of state emphasized. we are in touch with vasyl furman, doctor of economics. nauk, vasyl, congratulations, i congratulate you, so let 's try to figure out how our minimum subsistence level will increase with this budget, and pensions, social benefits, wages, to what extent will the indicators change in 2024

, thank you for the question, they will indeed change, first of all, the living wage will really increase in our country and it will amount to uah 2,900 there, and the minimum wage will also increase , by the way, there will be a two-stage increase there, that is, if from january 1 to april 1 the minimum salary there will be uah 7,100, then from january 1 next year, it will be uah 8,000, and it is also important until ... disappeared, who is interested, i think many of the us, this is an increase in the average salary, that is, the average salary will be uah 21,800, this is the average salary, it will increase, for example, this year, the last time i read a study there, somewhere the average salary is 17.5 uah in our state , and despite the fact that it has already increased by 25%

, that is, it is clear that there will be a corresponding increase, and the issue of spending on social protection, it is really a priority after defense, after defense spending, that is, it is the largest article, that is, well, if for example , well, let's compare, for example, that in our country about one of these 60 three hryvnias will be sent to defense, then social protection is 470 million hryvnias, medicine is 2003 billion hryvnias, and education is 179 billion hryvnias , in general. well , pensions will also increase, there is a corresponding calculation formula that takes into account inflation in the state, so, let's say, according to the law, there first. months, there will be a corresponding recalculation, and you have also already mentioned the amount by which it will be raised for our citizens. would like to point out that

maybe someone would like more, that is, it is possible simply, but we are at war, we really need huge resources to win, and our budget, for example, conditionally, if we take it as 100%, then somewhere half of it is formed at the expense of payers of taxes, individuals... and legal entities in our state, and under 50% is a deficit that must be financed with external and international financial aid, the figure set in the budget is very large, it is 41 million dollars, a huge figure, the higher political leadership of our state leads such hard work, relative external financing of expenses, deficit of the state budget, these will be the funds of the international monetary fund, the governments of the united states and the european union, and the world bank and other countries. mr. vasyl, i would like to discuss with you one more interesting opinion of the prime minister, mr.

shmyhal, which he voiced in an interview with the financial times. in fact, the prime minister said that ukraine needs to create a military economy in the long term, as in the example of israel. please tell us what this means for us? look, i will present my point of view on this issue. because there can be a lot of interpretations, myself read this statement, in my opinion, it was meant that the sector, well, the military-industrial complex, should be one of the main ones, this does not mean that other sectors should work, it will just be the main one, military technologies, the defense sector , that is , quite a lot of resources will be directed here, as they are already directed, but it is clear that even more is needed, again , this does not mean. that other sectors will not work, will, and this, this is all clear, but once again, remember, during the first question i

i'm talking about the fact that today's budget, the funds that are sent to the military-industrial complex, are the funds of tax payers of individuals and legal entities in ukraine, because the funds from external international financing that we receive, there is one thing , but we cannot direct funds for defense, there for the salary of a serviceman or there for other needs, victory. therefore , it is extremely important for us that other sectors also work in the state, because business will pay taxes to the state budget of ukraine. the following priorities, which necessary for our state, this is clear , well, for example, before the war we were a low-tech old economy there, and we need to do something about it, because we did not earn much from it, that is, as a result, there are few taxes to the budget, and therefore we need , production, that is, no, we should not only export products with added value, flour, pasta and other products, or for example, metals are the same, that is, we export metals or ore there with

a number of values, this is the it sector , that is, before the war, he was one of the leaders, very guilty strongly adjusted, i think that the human potential is quite significant in us and we will be able to restore it, energy, by the way, the prime minister also noted that this direction is of course important for our country, mechanical engineering, that is, we are talking about for example, what is mechanical engineering, in simple words, simply, for example, we have factories that produce wagons for the railways, that is , the railways there, well, it really needs to be modernized there, these are huge purchases, but these are ukrainian wagons, this is public transport, that is, i remember how we were before the war they bought belarusian buses or trolleybuses there, well, they financed the gangs to some extent, that is no longer the case, but the simple fact is that in ukraine... there are enterprises capable of producing this type of transport, a great deal of equipment, that is, very, very

a lot, and it is clear that we need mechanisms for financial and tax support, reform , structural restructuring of our economy, and all this will seem like such a big strategy of reconstruction, restoration of structural restructuring, of course, well, thank you very much for your comment, for that joined ours air, vasyl furman, doctor of economic sciences, was with us. well, we are moving on, the number of dead due to bad weather in ukraine has increased to 12, injured 23, among them two children, such data were made public by the ministry of internal affairs of ukraine. in particular, more than 3.5 hundred settlements in nine regions remain without power, the most difficult situation is in odesa, kherson, dnipropetrovsk and mykolaiv regions. at the same time, due to worsening weather conditions, the level of electricity consumption is rapidly increasing, the dispatcher reports. center of ukrenergo, there consumption is predicted to remain at a maximum throughout the day. and serhiy bratchuk, spokesperson of the ukrainian volunteer army south, joins our broadcast.

we congratulate you, mr. serhiy, glory to ukraine, congratulations, glory to the heroes, glory to the armed forces, congratulations, colleagues, let's start with the bad weather itself, you as a person who, one might say, found yourself in the center, in odesa, of what is currently happening in the region, how he copes and coped, overcomes this bad weather, well, everything should be treated with optimism, and actually, it is our characteristic feature and character and mentality, i am talking about the inhabitants of the territories of our state, in particular odessans, of course , now it is sunny, now it is +6, the temperature fluctuates, then of course the situation adds optimism, although in reality it remains very difficult, the consequences of that storm and snow weather, they are still being eliminated today, i think that in the near future , at least a few more days, maybe more will be needed in order to first of all restore electricity to those settlements

that have been left for a few days without power supply, because the situation was very complicated, there were a lot of gusts, a lot of metal structures, i emphasize the metal ones, the high-voltage network fell due to the wind, due to the accumulation of wet snow, the situation with the roads is a little better, all roads and odesa-reni are already open, odesa-kyiv from zero hours of the day, so in this regard, i say once again , it is a little easier, but as for the population, there are still many people without... electricity , additional emergency teams have been added, more than 100 of them are working today, it is most difficult to drive to such small settlements, to our villages in the south, in the north of the odesa region, because the snowdrifts that there were, they were somewhere up to a meter and a half, first, then in the field, everything melts again, mud and very it is difficult for equipment to reach

distribution stations. until other moments there, to do all this, so the consequences will still be eliminated, and we are actually talking about heating, including, you know that one of the boiler houses of the district, let's say scale, in odesa, in particular in the peresypsky district, collapsed this pipe, now the emergency works there continue, at night this boiler room is started experimentally, it works, withstands this voltage, but then it shuts down again and emergency works again, somewhere they should be completed no earlier than 10-15 days, that's what what experts are talking about today, by the way, everyone who is possible was involved here, communal services , rescuers, volunteers, various public organizations, and actually everyone was really involved in the liquidation of the consequences, including caring odessa residents who had equipment for to drive along the highway, these are jeeps, first of all, to extract people, unfortunately, there are victims, unfortunately, there are dead, so

the consequences are real. very difficult, mr. serhiy, when you said that you need to be optimistic, you mean actually overcoming, let's say, overcoming, in particular, because ukrainians are capable of it, overcoming the consequences of bad weather, but can we speak in this context now about the course of hostilities, about the war in general, how bad weather can add such optimism to our defenders, well, you actually caught that one here subtlety, the emphasis on which i would really like to focus today, including the fact that this bad weather, it helps in a certain way, because it stretches the russian reserve, in particular the one guarding the crimean bridge, there are barrier barriers that were

exhibited at the time, this is a resource, this is money spent, this is hours spent, there are weeks of work , well, it stretched out, including being thrown onto the shore, and let 's take the location of yepatoria, for example, on the coast of crimea, there, in general, the firing positions, enemy trenches were washed away washed off, that is, that what should the armed forces of ukraine have done over time, you see, bad weather, at least for a certain period, but it did it for us, of course , bad weather, it affects the nature and order of hostilities, wind and snowfall, they do not allow active use, for example, of drones , and drones are the eyes of our... cats, but on the other hand, they are also the eyes of the enemy in order to try to counteract our units, well, actually, about heavy equipment, if we talk about it, now there is warming, this mud , which i mentioned, it becomes a certain obstacle, well, at least for russian technique 100%. that's why aviation activity may decrease, again, but the weather is leveling off a little bit, and actually tonight the enemy...
