our relations with countries, partners , friends, regarding supplies, technical and military assistance, ms. solomi, and about this program that was approved for next year, it includes energy security, innovation and cooperation, but in addition to this, ukraine again received recommendations on reforms, and jens stoltenberg said, all members of the alliance agree that ukraine will become a member of nato, and now we need to discuss the way forward, the reform efforts and how nato can support you in implementing these reforms, and i want you ask, what is the first and most important thing we need to do and what can we have difficulties with? you know, it seems to me that the first thing is the most important thing, we need to remember first of all that in fact nato is a military alliance, but first of all it is

a political one, an alliance and an umbrella, and until we have the rule of law in prioritize and clearly demarcate our three branches of power and start moving in the directions of reforms not only of the military, not only without the security and defense sector, but in particular justice and the economy, and there some humanitarian things, they demand, we are not always, they are satisfied with the fact that there will be a separate one, there is infrastructure and so on and so forth, energy, so far, we can go in circles for a very long time, and why do i emphasize that in fact the road to yeto , 70-80% of it actually combines things like reforms in the state, because few people want to deal with the country as it really is inside, which is unstable, not... unreliable, and so on,

that is, there is a front and war, but nevertheless all other institutions must work as a coordinated mechanism so that when we let's go into these alliances, there were no such problems, remarks and such a huge problem for them, here we see a huge country with human resources, raw materials, and which is actually quite scary for them from a bunch of internal problems, in particular such posts... we have left colonial soviet and russian ones. accordingly, we have a lot of work to do, but once again, i would like these words of staltenberg to be felt in a document, not just words, and we already received an invitation at the washington summit, so then we will see that there really is some good and good a sign not only from the side of ukraine, which today is a living shield for the world, but from the side of the alliance, which is ready to go and make decisions more quickly in addition to chatter. and don't be afraid to make history. ms.

solomina, well, at least stolteng, he sees the concrete steps of the ukrainian authorities in the fight against corruption decisions, and he said that it is ongoing, and what is in the process of implementation will be brought to an end, these are his words. well, it is good that among the members of the alliance there is no feeling of this fatigue when it comes to helping ukraine. and on the contrary of optimism, secretary general of nato. alarm bells are increasingly appearing in the western media, in particular in recent weeks, they write that for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine, there is a possibility that putin will win this war. foreign journalists talk about the tense situation in ukraine between the political and military leadership. skynews, with reference to the european commissioner for budget, johannes gana, notes that the countries. the eu agreed on the proposal of the european commission

to provide ukraine with 50 billion euros in loans and grants over the next four years. such a proposal is allegedly not contested by any of the eu countries. meanwhile, the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of hungary, péter szijártó, at the osce meeting in north macedonia called for an end to the supply of weapons to ukraine. he complained about the flow of refugees and inflation. prior to that, hungarian prime minister viktor orbán also stated that negotiations on ukraine's accession to the eu do not meet the interests of his country, and therefore should not be put on the agenda. and while hungary is trying to confuse the european union, the president of the european commission, ursula fonderlein, has clearly stated: ukraine must be integrated into the eu's defense programs to help satisfy it.

needs in the war against the russian invasion. so what news was in focus in the western media this week. let's see further. most of the funds allocated by the united states to help ukraine are used directly within the country, providing significant cash infusions to american factories, because of the $68 billion approved by the us congress, about 90% go to the americans, journalists of the washington post write about it. these funds are used for the production of new weapons or the replacement of those already provided from american stocks, that is, from the production of weapons. and financing of ukraine, the americans remain in the winning position, as it turned out that the districts of congressmen who voted for the reduction or complete cancellation of aid to ukraine receive the most money. ukraine is not ready to join the european union, and therefore

it is not worth even starting negotiations about it on the ground level yes summit in brussels. this statement of the prime minister of hungary, viktor orbán , is reported by politiko. at the same time , he also added that official budapest will not promise negotiations between ukraine and the eu, because it does not correspond to the interests of hungary. before that, he demands to freeze the entire political and financial process until european leaders agree to a complete review of support for kyiv. journalists write that such political games of orbán cause eu leaders a big headache, although hungary is only 2% of the eu population, orbán mo to hold the bloc hostage, as its vote is needed for unanimity on major strategic decisions, some eu diplomats believe that such pressure by viktor orbán is related to delaying the allocation of 13 billion euros to hungary from eu funds. and regarding the support

of ukraine, the head of the hungarian foreign policy department said the following. we give money so that the ukrainian army wins on the battlefield, but it does not win. in the european union, i believe that if we give more money, they will win, but i am not at all sure, in my opinion, instead of war, a cease-fire is needed, and money should be allocated not for war, but for a cease-fire and peace. the split between the military and political leadership of ukraine. the british publication zeaconomist called the relationship between zelsky and zaluzhny simply terrible. for the first time , the media talked about the differences in their views in the fall, due to... an interview that general zaluzhnyi gave for the same british publication, then he declared that the war in ukraine had reached a dead end. after that, zelensky publicly reprimanded the general for the headlines and warned zaluzhny to engage in military affairs, not politics. in

addition, trust in the president fell to 32%. meanwhile, general zalushny's number increased to 70. journalists believe that if zelenskyi and zalushnyi met in the elections, zelenskyi would lose. at the same time, quarrels between ukrainian politicians and the military will only play into russia's hands. - summarized in the publication. ms. solomia, so what do such publications in the western media testify to, because all this gives the impression that the words and actions of the partners are somewhat different, and that's all more often they talk about a misunderstanding between the ukrainian military and political leadership. in fact, the words and actions of our partners differed before, and you know this delay with the supply of weapons, it has been going on, frankly, since the first days of the full-scale invasion, since last year on february 24, everyone expected how ukraine would behave, then we have to prove six months to a year,

for why do we need tanks, why do we need airplanes, and why do we need long-range missiles, judges, and so on, and so on, and we see that in fact, that is happening today on the front, especially active in all directions, starting from kupyansk to, to the left bank of kherson, which, how active we are in both defensive and offensive actions, at the time when the partners should have been most active, we see how much help is there, not a little, but in fact far from the kind that would solve today, the question is at stake, and very often we, politicians, diplomats, ask at meetings of our colleagues, the following question, and you give us enough so that we do not lose , or for us to win, that's why that one story, a lot of problems for which we are responsible, this is definitely an internal political situation, and this is an absolutely destructive, demoralizing story between, political interference in the military

command, leadership, quarrels, and it is very surprising and unfortunate for me that there is no courage and wisdom to come out , first of all, to the supreme commander, together with the main...' commander to society to shake hands and leave everything behind closed doors, figure it out, sit down and direct all the efforts of the teams to the war. because the front today is very difficult and plus we have unpleasant corruption stories in the winter and in the rear, they also eat away at the society from the middle, but the partners see all this and understand that, well, such a story, how stable can they be, why if we are in the 20th month of the war, such strange uh, strange external behavior in the middle of the country is already starting, well, and the third, it seems to me that instead of us talking about a revolution, some kind of potential maidan, like three, here exactly the intelligence would be wrong... to produce and hand over things to the president and society, and to suppress any differences, especially public ones, and

such twisting of the situation, not unsightly between the military, political leadership and military command, this is actually what destabilizes and divides society very much, i am already silent about those people who are serving today and in the trenches , who are surprised by such a story about revolutions and all other things, because the task... to complete the task, to return home alive and rest in the warmth, and not to deal with banking kyiv with someone's choices and ratings. ms. solomia, i fully support you and thank you for this conversation, thank you. we were accompanied by solomiya bobrovska, people's deputy, deputy head of the permanent delegation to the nato parliamentary assembly. and we move on. and another international one. one meeting this week with obstacles, however, the minister of foreign affairs

of russia, sergey lavrov did get to the meeting of the organization for security and cooperation in europe in north macedonia. bulgaria has banned the russian foreign minister from flying over its territory on the way to skopje. lavrov's plane made a stop in turkey and took off through greek airspace. they spoiled the mood of lavrovuya and before you as soon as the russian official was invited to speak, the delegates began to leave the hall, but he, not betraying traditions, began his speech with accusations. lavrov said that the kyiv regime conducted a punitive operation in donbas for eight years. in ukraine and the baltic states, a surge of nazi ideology, and complained that the eu is still out of line in the accelerated order. wants to open the door to the european union for the kyiv regime. there were also his statements and

dissatisfaction with the policy regarding the ukrainian language in ukraine and accusing the eu and the us of not noticing the abuse of the basic law of ukraine. lavrov's invitation to the summit caused a negative reaction from some countries. thus, the representatives of ukraine, lithuania, latvia, estonia and poland did not show up for the meeting. the next speaker after lavrov, the norwegian minister of foreign affairs, commented on his speech and called a number of theses deceptive. at that, the russian minister of foreign affairs simply left the meeting. and to the events at the front. it is extremely hot in the kupyansk direction. the russians attack with a purpose capture sinkivka. and exit onto the road orlyandske, petropalivka.

the enemy will work in both directions in order to break through the defenses and reach kupyansk. also, after a pause , the invaders became more active in the direction of the liman, again starting offensive actions there. the invaders continue to attack north of bakhmut, using paratroopers and special forces to push forward. fierce battles continue for maryanka. on zaporozhye direction. the enemy wants to regain the lost positions, is trying to restore the lost position in the areas of robotyny and west of verbovoy, zaporizhzhia region. so , in fact, there are battles going on around the areas we liberated. a fierce duel continues on the left bank of the kherson region. the enemy is raising reserves and doing everything to restrain the movement of the armed forces of ukraine. the price of defense in all directions is high. but our defenders do. everything is possible to drive the russians out of ukrainian land. russia has accumulated approximately 900

missiles by winter. but this is actually half as much as muscovites had last year, at the same time - said the spokesman of the air force command of the armed forces of ukraine yuriy ignat. according to him, last year , more than 1,000 caliber cruise missiles and x-555 missiles were launched against critical information structures. he added that the intensity of rocket attacks last heating season was very high. ignats noted that there will be more drones this time. by. according to the air force, during the week the rashists launched more than seven dozen shaheds. more than 80% of them were destroyed by our air force. almost every night, these soldiers have to defend our skies from russian terror. to the espresso film crew managed to communicate with such a unit that works in sumy oblast, on the samisin

border with the russian federation, and even see with my own eyes how it works against. air defense talented warriors not only shoot down enemy drones, but also assemble some drones from their parts, artem lagutenko will tell in more detail. now there was a signal of a flight of shohids across the border. this mobile air defense group are professional destroyers of enemy shaheeds. in a year and a half of the war , people have become more or less accustomed to working for pashehids, the principle of work is simple: soldiers they receive a message about the departure of the shaheds, they load the truck with ammunition and a machine gun, they go to the firing position and within 15 minutes they hit the target, this is our

machine gun, tired of the russian friend of the bad 12.7 kord machine gun, anti-aircraft, well, we also have dshk for armament anti-aircraft installation, the fighters are working in sumy oblast, the very border with the russian federation, the target is illuminated by powerful searchlights even on approach, it is enough for such a distance, how far the shahid flies, how far this machine gun can work, how many kilometers, skillful soldiers from... captured not only a machine gun, fighters collect their drones from downed shaheds, for more than a year they accumulated a lot of parts, little by little, they took pictures of spare parts, this is how we collect parts to make our own birds,

to perform they are our tasks, since , so to speak, we are not very...we are all rich people, now the occupiers have become more active, we have to catch enemy birds of iranian origin almost every night, in order to effectively shoot the shaheds, these soldiers lack a car, so please follow the link that you now see and support their gathering, because it is these warriors who defend our sky. i wish everyone good health. we stand in defense of our state from the first days of a full-scale invasion , to cover the airspace, we lack a car, an suv, i ask all caring people to help us in this matter, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, artem lagutenko, oleksiy kutsuk from sumy oblast for

espresso. on november 29, the minister of infrastructure of poland, alvin gayathur , met with polish carriers who are blocking checkpoints on the border with ukraine, and announced steps to partially lift the blockade. after negotiations with the minister, the head of the committee for the protection of carriers and transport employers, valdemar yashtur, noted that the carriers will not stop protesting at the four border crossing points. however, they will not extend the blockade. the passage of ukrainian trucks at other checkpoints and are ready to soften the protest if the polish authorities fulfill their promises. and already on december 1, ukraine and poland worked out a solution for unblocking the border. this was reported in ukrainian ministry of infrastructure. the parties agreed to open a checkpoint in hryniv dolgobychyv

i was the only one injured, i woke up after a two-day induced coma, in a zaporizhia hospital, there i was they operated, there they fought for my life. oleksia was treated in dnipropetrovsk and vinnytsia hospitals. since october, the man has been undergoing rehabilitation at the nezlamni national center. in lviv, there is no right upper limb, there was an injury head, collapsed skull, a little, eye problem loss of vision, hearing problem, hearing loss, severe contusion of the right lung, burns of all limbs. operative interventions were carried out because of a combined injury, he was operated on by lipnofacial surgeons, the next operation will be a recovery operation because the patient has a severe acubarotrauma and the specialists of our hospital will restore his hearing. twice

they delegate there. who are the representatives of the old system. but why do candidates register property for relatives? my sister received quite a good salary from 2005 to 2013 . congratulations, judicial control is on the air. reorganization and reformatting of judicial system bodies is underway in ukraine. after receiving the status of a candidate for joining the european union, judicial reform is one of the main ones requirements for continuing ukraine's path to we will talk about those who, with their unscrupulous behavior, are trying to derail ukraine from the intended course, today, but first to the news. the national anti-corruption bureau and the specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office completed the investigation of the case of the judge of the brovary city and district court, volodymyr serdynskyi. the case of the servant of themis will soon be considered by the court. we will remind you that

serdynsky was caught on a bribe. usa. according to the investigation, the judge received an illegal benefit from a representative of one of the parties in civil case for making a decision in its interests. he received part of the money in the amount of $1,000 earlier, when the decision was made to suppress the evidence in the case. while receiving the second part of the funds in the amount of 3,000 dollars for the debt collection decision in favor of the plaintiff, serdynskyi was hotly exposed by nabu detectives. in the sbu. added that during the search , $15,600 packed in different envelopes was seized from the suspected judge. of more than 300 ukrainian judges involved in the repression of protesters who participated in the events of the revolution of dignity, 170 still work in courts. as our colleagues from the investigation-info project found out, only 20 judges out of these 300 resigned voluntarily. 53 were dismissed for certain violations, another 16 are still not performing. judge,

but get a salary. in addition, 61 judges are now on retirement, which entails a lifetime multi-thousand monthly allowance. most of the so-called maidan judges remained in their posts. despite negative conclusions from the public integrity council, investigations by journalists and the attention of activists, these judges successfully passed all checks and continue make decisions and sentences. over the constitutional court in clouds hang over the country, the president's office seems to be trying to politicize justice and form a controlled composition of the servants of themis. meanwhile, the congress of judges of ukraine, according to its quota , again gives the green light to unworthy candidates. if you look at the delegates from the council of judges, from the congress of judges, well, it becomes, it becomes, it becomes clear that once again the judging shows that they are delegating there.
