the armed forces of ukraine are making progress. this was stated by the spokesman of the united states state department, matthew miller, during a press briefing. i quote: regarding the situation on the battlefield, it is difficult. ukrainian forces are fighting against the russian military, which is strongly entrenched, and we have already seen how the armed forces of ukraine are making progress. according to miller, these successes were difficult. however , we have seen how they continue to make progress, and last week in brussels we spoke directly with the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine on this issue. said the spokesman of the state depot, well , serhiy dibrov, senior lieutenant, head of the public relations service of the 21st separate mechanized brigade, is already in touch with us, we congratulate you, glory to ukraine, at the moment we do not have the opportunity to hear you, i hope our editors now they will fix the technical problem, such a problem, but we hope, it already is, it already is, thank you serhiy, mr. serhiy, let us from the operational situation in the lyman direction, everything that

can be voiced, please speak, yes, communication problems, nothing strange, we understand how tense the situation is and on the lymansky and kupinsky directions, well, we will inform while mr. serhiy is being brought back on the air, we will inform about the most important thing, and by the way, today will be the address of our president to the senators of the united states. on the eve of the congress vote on aid to ukraine, it is no less important, given the situation that is happening at the front, we need to understand whether there will be support from the united states or not, and the media actually write that zelensky will address american senators precisely today through secure video conference, the conversation will take place at a secret briefing. that's it, we have information, we will observe and inform. ugh. glory to ukraine, mr. serhiy. slava, well, let's start with

the operational situation in the liman direction, which happened during this day. well, during the last two weeks or so, the enemy seems to have rotated everything, started, started new units, which began to attack our positions, and which continue with varying intensity, continue to this day, from this morning there was another attempt to knock out our our fighters from the same position, it happens... it follows approximately the same scenario, first it seems that a storm unit, or a storm unit, or some unit that does not feel sorry for the enemy, is followed by more trained, more professional fighters, sappers and so on , then there is an attempt to gain a foothold in some of our new positions, we in turn fight back, unfortunately, the weather seems to have prompted the enemy to intensify his actions, he hopes that in better weather, better weather , it will be more difficult for us to defend ourselves and more difficult

stand your ground, the institute for the study of war says that the armed forces of ukraine has advanced in the area of ​​crimena, what can you say about this at all, we understand that the information can be quite sensitive, but in the end, can you at least confirm it for us? i can, i can unfortunately say only for the area of ​​responsibility of our brigade, it is quite far from the crime scene , we are closer to liman, but i can say. that we perfectly understand that everyone predicts a tank, everyone predicts an artillery calculation, everyone predicts an infantryman who standing opposite us, who is attacking us, is the one who did not go on the attack in kriminium or in bakhmuk, so we hold our site and defend ourselves, and this is our contribution to the defense of kriminium , including. mr. serhiu, belogorivka, what are the specifics of the battles there, yes, well, it is a legendary place, we understand how fierce the battles were there, what now, if we can go into detail. unfortunately,

i do not have such information, our brigade does not defend this area, therefore, unfortunately, i do not have this information. there is information that there has been less on the lymano-kumpytskyi direction enemy shelling, this was reported to the border service, can you comment on this information? yes , during the last two days, until this morning, we observed such a decrease in the activity of the enemy, this morning it became more active again, but in general the trend is that the criticism... it is the artillery, the artillery fire, they become quite infrequent, the enemy relies more on mortar fire and to the attempts of assault actions by a large number of infantry, which they seem to have brought to these positions, that is, it seems that they most likely have certain problems with artillery are felt and this affects the tactics of their actions in our area. serebryansk forestry, what is the situation in that direction? we

, again, we are nearby, not far from forestry, sometimes our units work in the interests of those units that defend this and that area, there the enemy does not... does not stop trying to return those, it seems that these areas that he considers, perhaps, certain territories of the donetsk region that were deoccupied a year ago to be his own, including the city of lyman, near which all these, this is forestry is located, and the situation there is quite tense, and there is also added the specifics of the fighting in the forest itself, so there are the specifics of the battles in the forest and the specifics of the battles in the srebyansk direction , the srebyansk forestry direction, mr. senior leten. well, forestry and forests in general here are interspersed with steppe areas, with steppe areas with large fields and forest strips, this is an area that is very well viewed from the air, by quadcopters, in particular, as you can see, and therefore aerial reconnaissance

and means of air strikes unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular, they play an increasingly important role in battles in the steppes. in the forest ... it’s easier to hide in the forest, it’s easier to close and take cover from aerial reconnaissance, that’s why it’s easier to get close to the enemy, to the enemy at close range, that’s why there is a different war, a different war for the forces that are used, if in the steppes you have to have, a large number of unmanned aircraft, then in the forests you need to have trained infantry that knows how to fight and is well motivated. mr. serhiy, the armed forces confirmed that they struck on december 3 popalam: lubricant depots in luhansk , do you know anything about this, let's say , special operation of our defenders, what consequences are you aware of as a result of this successful work, in other words, what is known, please let me know, i

do not have the details of this, this operation , fortunately and unfortunately, but it was not our brigade that did it, but i can say that even now we feel a decrease in the use of armored vehicles by the enemy, this is related to the weather conditions, and now it will be related, god willing , with a shortage of fuel and lubricants after this impact. if everything will be ok, we'll feel it. look, mr. serhiy, talking about the specifics of the battles, returning to the specifics of the battles in the forest, in particular we are talking about silver forestry. the enemy uses some mechanized formations or mechanized units, and generally in your direction the enemy with armor. armor is used in forests. equipment is very difficult, as far as i know, in the steppes, armored vehicles are the number one target, the priority target for all means of attack and reconnaissance, that is, how many of our units appear in the field of view a tank or infantry fighting vehicles, or even cars, they are already a priority target

, that is, all possible means are already being used to hit them, this is the first priority for us, in the forest, after all, armored vehicles are not like that... it feels good and this is not the best place to use tanks and slaughter machines, mr. serhiy, there was information that now the russians are recruiting for the war in ukraine, and i wanted to ask if you know something there, right in front, about being on the line at all front, the nepalese, have they already begun to replenish the russian ranks, and have they already encountered, perhaps, cases... they are there, unfortunately, i have no way to confirm or deny this information, among the prisoners, as far as i know, there are no fingers, specifically there were no fingers, huh, but i hope there will be, mr. senior lieutenant, aviation and

the use of multi-purpose uavs, so we heard that the enemy has substantially increased the presence of drones on the front line and in battles, yes, what is the situation in your direction? in battles, especially in the steppes and on the lines of communication drones this is becoming more and more an important factor, it is becoming almost the main source of intelligence information and almost the main strike tool used by our side and the russian side, that is, we had an advantage and it seems to me that we still have a certain advantage in this direction, the russians are approaching, the russians are increasing their, their air, let's say, grouping here in this area. and this is the factor that, it seems to me, will continue to influence the course and results of the events taking place here more and more. thank you, sergey dibrov, senior lieutenant, head of the public relations service of the 21st separate mechanized brigade, was in touch with us,

they discussed the current situation in the lyman direction, now we will have a short break and literally in a few minutes we will return to you, do not switch, stay from the press laughter, physical activity, sneezing, even during such a small load, urinary incontinence can make itself felt. feminost uro helped me. thanks to natural components, feminost uro helps to regain control over urination both day and night. feminost uro, urination under control. ask at pharmacies. damn, stepladders, my legs can't walk anymore. wait for comfort. what, there is no health? but what is the health like in the sixth decade? and i thought so until i tried herovital. gerovital plus. a phytovitamin complex that cares for the heart and strengthens the body. gerovital + good health, active life. new gerovital energy - even more iron for good healthovital energy - intake once a day.

we understand that it was addressed to a carefree and extremely active people's deputy, well, accordingly, we wanted to ask you what you got up to at this moment, you know, i still as they say, i was born, went to school, but i was already brought up in lviv, that's why you don't need to compare me with koko, probably who, who, but me for sure, that's why, well, you know, i don't want to comment, to pretend to be a politician and so on, and a deputy of the verkhovna rada and, no, well , if i was tagged, then you have to answer somehow, yes, where am i, where am i , whether i am in place or not, i am engaged in my official duties, and i think that, well, i think that i perform them normally, so actually, you perform them, mr. yuri, brilliantly. ok, you know, that's not the right word, and accordingly, we also started to grieve a little about this, well, we think, we will include

the spokesperson, yes, and instead of the spokesperson, there will be, for example, someone else, well, but, as they say, jokes with jokes, in any case , tags, ms. bezugla, not only you, but also and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces valery zaluzhny, the general and many other extremely worthy military leaders, but they did not want to ask you about this, the attack of the shaheds, the extreme what we have , in the end, we have the same situation as usual, the only thing that is different, rather the attack on kyiv 75 shahedov this night, i remember that a record number, but the rest of the nights, in the end , are not very different from each other, because we have an approximate number of attacks, 10, 15, 20, maybe a little more drones , accompanied by air attacks , that is, tactical aviation, x59 missiles, usually x -31, and so on,

and the missiles of the s-300 anti-aircraft missile systems can also be used, of which there were also six launched that night, well, today was not such a higher result, that is, efficiency, in percentage, i mean, value less because 17 and 10 are only destroyed by what it is it was determined, of course, the attack on kharkiv oblast, there the defenders of the region managed to shoot down most of the bpo, well, but not all, unfortunately, and that is precisely why the percentage of shooting down this time is lower, it is clear that kharkiv oblast is actually on the front lines. zone, even within the range of enemy artillery, the city of kharkiv, in particular, is located on the outskirts of our state, let’s say so, in this way the enemy attacked from kursk oblast, kharkiv region itself, and from primorskahtarsk , krasnodar territory, the rest of the drones flew and unfortunately , all the way to lviv oblast today, but they are also destroyed, let's say, on the way,

we have to understand that the enemy uses these routes, i'm nothing. i visited, on the very day of the day of the radio-technical troops, the radio -technical brigade, not the brigade, the vetal, yes, where the commander told me and showed me, well, he actually showed how it all happens from the inside, how many monitors they have, how many indicators they have, how difficult it all is, it's real to understand how people monitor the air situation, he showed me how the pickets move, what routes there are, how many kilometers to the left. right, they can go to disperse a group of shahed, it might be 10-15 km, not much of a change of route, but it's enough to actually make it difficult for the mobile fire teams, which we have high hopes for, because you understand that anti -aircraft guided missiles for thousands of shaheds

, well, it is simply not enough, it is necessary to shoot down the shaheds by rational means, be it airplanes, maybe the west... productions that will more effectively twist than our soviet ones, or are these systems with automatic guidance of ssils, such as chepard or others that will be able to do this, currently mobile fire groups are doing it, and the percentage of defeat of shaheds is increasing significantly, since they have already been equipped with such , let's say, additional systems for targeting with thermal imagers, er, night with night devices stroking, searchlights and so on , here we are recently to... the material, the fighter is also with an ordinary soviet needle, yes, this is a manpads shoulder -launched portable missile system, yes he, he also needs to spend a lot of time to launch a manpads, that he point it at the target, shoot, that , well, at that, in a matter of seconds, for decision-making, because the missile, or the drone flies fast, this fighter has already shot down two missiles, well, shaheds

are definitely necessary too, shot down from pezrk too if possible a thermal imager at night, namely at night when there are attacks by shaheds, will allow it to be done, even an old soviet one, a night device, mr. yuriy, you tell a very interesting story, but we want to have time to discuss, in particular , the attack on lviv region, because the last two nights there was an air raid in lviv region, we know that there are three uavs that attacked an infrastructure object in the region, i would like to clarify... and speaking, i will not specifically ask about this object, but in general, so that it is possible somewhere to lead the viewers to their own conclusions, now the attack is shahediv focused on energy or not only? well, the question can be answered clearly, you can answer it superficially, as they say , because that's how we answer, we can't

now indicate what are there, if it's a military object, that it's under attack, yes or even an object infrastructure object to talk about the nature of the damage, so that the enemy does not draw conclusions, whether, for example, a second strike is necessary, whether the object is damaged or not damaged, so here the information is given precisely in doses, but i want to explain in general that the enemy has a list of objects that he wants to impress, first of all, military facilities, infrastructure, critical, fuel and energy sector facilities, certainly facilities of our defense industry, and so on, well, ports, you understand, grain terminals, all this is on the list, this is all that can seriously complicate our life, er, kyiv is the capital of ukraine, all these objects, even ports, let's say. yes, the river, it has, that's why uh, well, add state institutions and so on, that's why kyiv is also attacked very often, the enemy plans his strikes in advance,

has his own strategic plan to hit this or that object, on luckily, we will not find out for sure how the enemy is there, where exactly he was aiming, because the anti-aircraft defense, as well as the best, does its job. well, unfortunately, not all are shot down, but most of the drones are destroyed. mr. yuri, and here too such a question, you mentioned that there was an attack by both shahed and aviation, but a tactical one, we remember literally six months ago, they launched strategic aviation very often, and at night we had an alarm over almost the entire territory of ukraine. the fact that they are not using strategic aviation now is that they are saving missiles or. something else, ugh, you took it too far, probably for six months, and the months were three or four, approximately, because then there were already strikes with cruise missiles,

sea-based caliber, and missiles kh101, kh55, we we take the summer months, so in the fall they actually stopped striking with hasto1x555 missiles, so the enemy obviously wants to restore their... the missile potential that they spent last year, for six months, and during the spring and summer, they still spent rockets, we, we, if we take the statistics, even the ones we present in our infographic, well, go to facebook and you can count from the pictures, because a lot of journalists are asked how many were destroyed that month, how much in six months, how much since the moment of such and such, i say, well, come in and count for yourself, well, i don’t have to do this for everyone... actually, the statics should be calculated, and in this way the enemy spent actually spent every month 100 high-precision long-range missiles about which gur tells us that these are missiles of the kejal caliber

, both iskanders k and m, as well as kha-101 x555, then they were spending, so they were trampling on the spot, 100 missiles are made, 100 are spent, so now they stopped three or four places and accumulated up to 9 100 missiles of the types i mentioned last year year they had much more missiles than they have now, dear mr. speaker, well , we would like to go now to our favorite topic, state secrets, secret data, and so on, and so on, all the things that you will not say, of course, well, within the limits of competence, try, maybe signal to us, we, we will hear you, so f16, yes, we have already lost track, you know, regularly beating there by moving the calendar. plans and so on, we understand that this is a secret secret, but in romania the boys are studying, this is how certain training took place, well, maybe new additional

information has already appeared about the prospects of the fact that american f16s will work in our skies in the near future, well, the guys in romania are not studying, i already know a lot, it was in our forces, well, our forces were somewhat mistaken, which were the seconded there, that's how they perceived it, before the flight. f16 from the netherlands to the romanian center, which was opened by the flights of ukrainian pilots, and the news spread, of course, the ukrainians picked it up quickly, and in this way it was picked up not only by ukrainians, but also by the international community. in this way, it was announced that the training center is being opened, it is still being formed, it is still being built, its educational and material base is being filled, so that as many pilots as possible could be covered there, it would be possible to train instructors and train aviation technicians, just like the president stated that our pilots and other professional specialists will be among the first, in the first waves

, together with romanian pilots and others, to be trained in this center, which is located close to ukraine, it is very convenient, and those planes that were handed over , the netherlands have already conveyed, they will be, will be, just like training desks, because there are single-seater planes there. as well as two-seater training and combat aircraft, where the pilot flies with an instructor, but right now such flights are taking place here in denmark, where the pilots already fly with the instructors and perform their basic tasks. next, so far nothing has changed since it was two weeks ago. mr. yuriy, here is the last thing, just sorry, marta, sorry, mr. yuriy, the military experts, journalists that you mentioned, they ring information, that is, when the wish appears to be true and there was a phrase that they might appear by the end of this year, well, they won't appear by the end of this year, well, this was stated by the head

of the american cir, well, here, here, here. then yes, of course, there are so many statements, look, there are so many statements, there are actually so many of them , because we have an aviation coalition, we have a tank coalition, a ppozhe coalition, yes , the air coalition includes dozens of countries, we have to understand that each politician can make one or another statement to the extent of the help he provides, plus with us, you you know how polar the statements can be among our experts, well, activists and so on, that's why the statements are somewhat different, i want. to immediately say that uh, it won't happen soon, by the end of the year, well, it's unlikely, of course, there were statements from our politicians, from our diplomats that by the end, maybe spring, or maybe, more precisely, by the end in the winter, so already in the spring, i will recover, here, well, and i will remind you once again that the process of transferring aircraft is a very , very, very complex process, it represents a complex of measures, infrastructure preparation,

pilots and... engineers must be taught to use and program those bombs and those missiles that will actually be attached to these planes, and i want to say that ukraine, no country in the world had such experience that we could compare with anyone, so that in such a short period of time to retrain from a soviet aircraft to a western one, we are the first, that is why the statements have such different terms and sound from different politicians, that is why we want it faster, the pilots will do everything and our management... as soon as possible, well, but we are also dependent from our partners, which is understandable, mr. yuriy, also please, briefly, yesterday zelensky reported receiving from partners scarce missiles for the existing pppo systems and new modern anti-aircraft systems, can you tell us a little about what is specifically said, well, as you can see, in the aid packages, neither the united states, nor there germany, no one talks about the number of missiles and what types they are, well, the types are sometimes said, so

there are always tanks there, there are some other systems, but what, and there goes the point: additional ammunition for air defense systems, it’s not easy this is how it is done, both partners and our leadership , ukrainian, well, no, we cannot inform the enemy about the availability of certain missiles, for certain systems, we are in short supply now, in fact, all missiles, both for soviet systems and for western ones , you see, the enemy uses air attack means, i mean both drones and missiles, it’s necessary to knock everything down with something, it’s good that mobile fire groups are increasing their potential and giving results, but anti-aircraft guided missiles are primarily needed to deter the russian aviation, here we are talking to you now, i am looking at the monitor, there are already about 20-25 air targets, the enemy’s actual

combat landings around our borders on the occupied territory, there are a lot of them, and the entire armada of russian aviation is restrained precisely by guided missiles, precisely therefore for us they are not just scarce, they are priceless for us, we have to keep them at a distance. thank you very, very much. as always , mr. spokesman gave some information in a restrained, delicate manner, but he did not reveal any state secrets, on in contrast to many of our people's deputies, who sometimes cannot speak like that. behind his tongues, but yuriy ignats always filters everything very much, the river command of the air forces of the armed forces of ukraine, in case anyone forgot, in literally 30 seconds , regular, regular portions of news releases from our journalists will begin, iryna koval is ready to share with you the most up-to-date information, which you need to know by now, so we pass the word to you. thank you marta, i will tell you about the most important events in just a moment.

it's 3 p.m. in ukraine, news time on the tv channel espresso, in the studio of iryna koval, greetings to all viewers. the russians will release six more ukrainian children through the mediation of qatar. this was announced by the qatari minister of international cooperation. lolwa al-khater, writes the washington post newspaper. the official noted that ukrainians aged eight to 15 should return to their families in the near future. they will leave moscow and head home through belarus. let me remind you that bohdan yermokhin, a young man deported from mariupol, returned to his homeland earlier with the help of a boat. meanwhile, in avdiivci officially.
