we received professional training, and to this professional training is added high motivation, that is, each of us understands why he is here and why he is fighting, we do not have such a question, i will not go, i do not know, i do not want, me at all somewhere in the bazaar they took a tax office, well, that is, we have absolutely no such staff from the beginning, they were either reservists, officers, or there were personnel officers who transferred to units of the military forces, and as for personnel. well, compare now the same mobilization reserves are being recruited into land units there in the dshv and their are being trained now, and those people who were recruited two years ago, they already have experience and already have certain achievements in the military sphere, many commanders of tro at the beginning of a full-scale war did not have combat experience, they had to acquire it directly on the front line. about a year ago , the command of the teroborona forces together with the charity. by the come back alive foundation,

launched special courses for its officers and officers of the armed forces of ukraine according to nato standards. during this time, the instructors were able to train almost half a thousand people. the instructor passed training abroad, the instructors have direct combat experience in ukraine, which allows them to actually apply the experience gained here to the knowledge offered by foreign partners. the course is intended for... platoon commanders, linemen and officers of battalion headquarters, cadets master the management of troops during a combined battle, learn to make decisions according to western standards, study the work of the battalion headquarters, how to plan and conduct combat operations? cadets learn to plan to plan an offensive in battle, to plan defensive battle, plan the actions of a company of tro forces during stabilization operations.

that is, it is about, well, about approaches, about offensive and defensive tactics, which actually this preparation takes into account a lot of elements, literally starting from, well, it teaches to take into account a lot of details, literally, starting from weather conditions and the underlying surface at that time of day, and whether at this or that time of the year, take into account the available own means, the means of the enemy. auxiliary means of the enemy, reconnaissance, prediction of approach routes, alternative routes approach, ways out, and so on , well, cadets learn through wargaming, well, if they fight for different teams against each other and thus gain some experience , because they don’t know the actions of the enemy, and for them it can be a surprise, and it immediately becomes noticeable where there was some miscalculation in...

planning, there are reconnaissance trips, this is directly planning actions on the ground, in particular, such planning takes place in the kyiv region, in places where there were military actions and where it was known, how he acted the opponent, so that it was more practical than theoretical, one thing. ukrainian mortars are preparing for work, the identified target is to strengthen the enemy's position , the russian army is actively entrenching here, so the accuracy of firing must be precise, that is, 120 mortars, a fairly powerful weapon, enough there , if you shoot accurately, then two or three mines, that's enough, so that for half a day a day in that, let's say squares, when where we worked everything for...

is located closer to the infantry than artillery and mlrs, and in many cases can respond to the situation more quickly. there are days when we generally work very hard, there are days when we save ammunition and work only on scouted or 100% already scouted targets, that is, everything depends on the activity of the enemy itself, if the activity of the enemy is determined by aerial reconnaissance, then immediately... we work in

advance, we suppress the dear movement of motor vehicles, infantry, crowding and everything else, that is, we work to ensure that our infantry ... suffers from the enemy himself, from his actions, at a minimum there were contact shooting battles, that is, there are some kind of movement, the intelligence saw all this , the team went, worked things out, everything calmed down there, we are now already in the territory of the luhansk region, in the so-called seryvnyk forestry, there are artillery and mortar duels going on around the clock, the russian army is trying to advance, but in general, the advance ... although somehow she fails in this direction. the features of the terrain on this part of the front determine the actions of the warring parties. a dense pine forest helps both to camouflage positions and to advance under the cover of trees. i've been to different places, well, me

let's say, i like working in this area. in more open places. such weapons are more difficult to work with. let's say so. still, if you've seen the footage. from quadrocopters, after all , it protects the forest in one way or another, it is very difficult to determine exactly the positions where the gun itself is located, it is very difficult to determine movement, and when you work, as we worked in the kherson region, they understand that you are only in this apiary, you have nowhere to go, beyond the field, to the left of things and so on, so if it would be more or less better to work in the forest, well, in my opinion opinion, this is my... personal opinion from my experience, let's say that. this mortar calculation in the armed forces is attached to the 100th tro brigade, together they fight for more than one month. well, we like working with these guys, let's do one thing together, they don't complain either, it seems like the tandem

turned out good, i think. i like this whole area in general, and because we were somehow on... on restoration in volyn, the area where these guys are from, the area is also a forest, and i think they use their experience of the city where they were born as much as possible, with hereby the city where they are now fighting. already leaving the positions, we learn about the results of mortar firing, the shells have reached their goal. the first arrival was 15 m from the target from the dugouts where the infantry was located, well, and along the ttk. for 120 mines, it turns out to be 25 m, if the enemy infantry is in cover, this is their damage of the 120th mine and 60 m, if the infantry is moving, that is, it is on top, it will be one hundred percent higher than such a zone of damage, well,

since we hit 15 m targets, then i think that we hit the target super, i hope that they are trochsoi in any way, someone is the front again. you know what tro now stands on a level with other units of the armed forces and confidently holds its, let's say, trusted objects and boundaries, ugh, we haven't advanced a single meter, we are fighting, we are also being shot at, and we are shooting, what to do, this is war, no matter how much we want to, we will not be able to afford a large regular army in the future, of course many people want it, especially the military, and this is logical, because it would be the easiest option, but neither we, nor ... our partners, they are unlikely to be able to provide us with a sufficient level of forces and means of destruction, shells, artillery, etc including ammunition, and we are unlikely to be able to provide such a large regular army, i don’t know half a million or more, it is unlikely that we will be able to fully provide it with people

, accordingly, creating an army that we cannot provide does not make any sense, including because it is trivially expensive, that is why the concept with reservists, reserve units, in the situation with the ground defense forces , these are... grain units that are located throughout the territory of ukraine, in my opinion, this is an excellent tool, firstly, for anti-crisis response to any threats, no necessarily combat, by the way, but including combat. discussions about the role of tro in the defense of ukraine are taking place at the beginning of a full-scale war. someone says that territorial defense units should be subordinated to the ground forces, someone for autonomy as part of the armed forces. according to anton muraveynyk, the active phase of hostilities is sooner or later. will end, and the even distribution of military personnel throughout ukraine will provide an opportunity for reservists and civilians to undergo military training near their place of residence in order to hone the necessary skills and at any moment to be ready to enter

the battle on the front line. these were donbas realities, my name is yehor loginov, see you soon. vasyl zima's big broadcast, this is a big broadcast, my name is vasyl zima and we are starting. two hours of air time, two hours of your time, we will discuss many important topics with you today, two hours to learn about the war, right now we will talk more about the war, serhii zgurets with us, and what the world is doing, now about what happened in the world, yuriy fizar will talk in more detail, yuriy, good evening, please, a word to you, two hours to keep up with economic news , time to talk about money during the war, oleksandr morchenko with us, oleksandr, please welcome and sports news, a review of sports events from yevhen postukhov,

as well as distinguished studio guests andriy parubiy, a people's deputy of ukraine, was also the chairman of the verkhovna rada of ukraine. events of the day in two hours, vasyl zima's big broadcast, a project for smart and caring people, in the evening. cold weather is coming and will it cool the situation on the front line. our country has become a hostage of the mexican border in the us congress, which will be with the financing of our state. and about what method ukraine found to bypass the blocking of the border by polish carriers. about this. and much more in the issue today: the war with russia enters a new phase, winter

dictates its conditions, so in addition to the influx of invaders, the armed forces of ukraine have to fight the elements, lack of shells and even rodents. pay off energy. after an almost three-month pause , the russians attacked ukraine with missiles from strategic bombers. how ready are our energy facilities for enemy strikes? the fall of soviet leaders. 10 years ago , a monument to lenin was torn down in the center of the capital. how is decommunization and deradinization going on? congratulations. in the studio of iryna koval. and this is the news, the results of the week on the espresso tv channel. and let's start with the situation. at the front. the russians continue to attack the positions of the defense forces in the lyman-kupyan direction. the hottest

situation is in the area of ​​sinkivka settlement near kupyansk. there, the enemy concentrated the largest number of personnel and equipment. the russians are trying with all their might and means to break through in this direction. on in the direction of bakhmut, our soldiers repulse the attacks of the invaders and continue to storm south of bakhmut, donetsk region. by. t to the enemies of losses in manpower and equipment, is fixed at the achieved boundaries. ukrainian defenders continue to restrain the occupiers in the evdiyiv direction. to the north, along the railway, muscovites are trying to surround avdiivka, using armored vehicles and aviation to try to put pressure on ukrainian positions. our soldiers stand firm in defense. in the mariana direction , the armed forces of ukraine continue to deter military. in maryinka and novomykhaivka districts of donetsk region. in zaporizhzhia, the defenders

repelled enemy attacks in the areas west of verbovoy and robotyny. at the same time, in the melitopol area, the defense forces of ukraine continue to actively inflict losses in manpower and equipment on the occupying troops. they are exhausted along the entire front line. in the kherson direction, the defense forces will continue to hold the zany. positions on the left bank of the dnieper, continue to conduct a counter-battery fight, inflict fire damage on the enemy forces. so, everything indicates that the winter at the front will be hot, and in addition to the onslaught of the enemy horde, our defenders have to fight the elements, lack of ammunition and even rodents. what will the war be like on the front lines in the cold season? let's see further. digging trenches in winter is the death knell of a cossack,

in general, even a chukhryn citizen would not want to do this, and ukrainians even more so, why, because the ground was frozen, and it is already a horror. dmytro serves in the infantry assault troops. last year , bakhmud and soledar passed in the winter. he knows very well how at the front you have to fight not only with the occupiers, but also with the weather. in winter, of course, you... but you waste time trying to find a source of heat for yourself, since you are waiting for the time when you will be passable. the passability of military equipment is not fron. a painful question , for example, the weight of the most common t-72 tank is more than 62 tons, so that it could pass, the ground must be hard and dry, in the ground wet from snow, the equipment is heavy, and the cars are all heavy, but we had christmas trees there, 200 mitsubisi christmas trees , nissan, well, with four-wheel drive,

we used to get stuck just like that but the ghosts pushed you on the chest and you don't push, you just stand. and as long as the offensive equipment is standing, the artillery has to fight , our maltmen worked, landing assault mortars in honor of their praise, so every night, fire - shot, fire - shot, he already started there from the afternoon, by 6:00 in the morning he had no more what can i say, it is already a ban, and there is a lack of shells for positional warfare, the fighters complain. despite constant explosions at enemy warehouses, the superiority of the russians in the number of weapons remains. they do not spare shells, that is, they, they they will simply destroy us there, they will drop a lot, a lot of shells , that is, they

will fire 10 shells at ours, hell was going on there, horta was silent for a few minutes. pests not only eat food, but also spoil weapons. we have two bins, slides and mice. the rats gnawed it, so we still ate. according to bloomberg, in the budget for next year , the kremlin will allocate 6% of the gross domestic product, which is 112 billion dollars, for military aggression, so the war will not be as cold as the weather. artem logutenko, oleksandr burlevich,

yuliya belska, espresso tv channel. so, winter creates new challenges. the military-political leadership of ukraine assures that during the cold season , there will be no stoppage of counteroffensive actions on the territories occupied by russia, and the armed forces of ukraine will maintain a strategic advantage at the front. the fighting will continue, but the tactics will change, - the center for combating disinformation notes. in particular, the role of drones and anti-tank systems will increase, and the actions of small groups with the support of artillery will also be important. and bets on anti-tank complexes and the use of uavs instead of armored vehicles. the winter campaign will be characterized by positional battles, active counter-battery measures and the destruction of logistical supply chains for personnel, equipment and ammunition. military expert serhii zgurets assures that

there is no need to expect advances and significant advantages for the ukrainian or russian sides. russia will try to use the situation on the front line to its advantage, but we can hardly expect any significant changes compared to what is being done now, so that in fact all the main reserves that the russians had accumulated are now stretched across the entire front line. now russia is trying to reformat part of these reserves, which were, in particular, in the south, and create new groups there, and this... the direction, most likely, the enemy will be in a certain way in order to suppress our advances in the robotic zone, but all this will only after the enemy's offensive operations in the avdiivka area, which remains the enemy's most priority task, are completed. in the usa, the parliamentarians are already different

week they cannot decide the fate of ukraine's financing. these events created. that our state has lost the bipartisan support that has allowed it to count on american aid for the past almost two years. however, this is not the case. while the discussions continue, the administration of president joseph biden on december 6 announced the allocation of a not so unified, but still important package of support in the amount of 175 million dollars. it included missiles for air defense systems. additional ammunition for hymars, artillery shells and others types of weapons are badly needed. but what will happen next? the us senate did not allow the draft law on... aid to ukraine, israel and taiwan to be put to a vote. because of the demands of the republicans regarding the migration situation on the southern borders of the usa. 51

senators opposed. and you need at least 60 votes. most importantly, senate majority leader chuck schumer also voted against it. tense negotiations continued between representatives of republicans and democrats. but at the beginning. week it became known that they failed, it got worse situation, the closed hearing of senators on tuesday regarding ukraine, but it turned into a controversy surrounding the migration issue. several republicans even left the meeting in protest, and ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyi canceled his participation at the last minute. the leader of the democratic majority in the senate, chuck schumer, spoke frankly. lycans hijacked the hearing and demanded to talk about the border issue, not the needs of ukraine. republicans want to include a border protection provision in

the aid bill, through concerns that domestic priorities are overshadowed by international politics. there is not enough time for the adoption of at least some decision regarding aid to ukraine in the congress. from the 14th. in december, the legislators of both houses will leave for the christmas weekend. after that date, congress cannot approve additional funding. ms. ambassador of ukraine to the usa oksana markarova said that the blocking does not eliminate the possibility of re-submitting the bill to a vote in the near future. after all, the white house is ready to make concessions on migration politics to get the senate to vote for the bailout. ukraine and israel, reuters reports with reference to its own sources. the republican majority in the parliament issued an ultimatum to settle the issue of

illegal migration across the us- mexico border in order to continue military support to ukraine. after all, the white house understands that if the us stops supporting ukraine and russia comes to nato's borders, they will have to start acting in accordance with the article. fifth nato and pay with the blood of the americans. white house national security council coordinator john kirby noted, that the russian president expects the us to stop supporting ukraine. this will be a great gift for him. after the failure of the vote, president joseph biden called it madness, the inability of the american parliament to vote for the appropriate decision and political. history will severely punish those who turned away from the cause of freedom. we cannot allow putin to win. it is in our national interest and in the interest

of all our friends. any interruptions in our ability to supply arms and ammunition to ukraine would certainly strengthen putin's position. we are now running out of money for this aid, and some republicans are playing with our national security by holding ukraine's funding hostage in a... biased border policy. in this heating season, the russians will obviously try again to extinguish the ukrainian energy industry. the military, government officials and specialized experts have been warning about this for several months in a row. however, with the onset of cold weather, the invaders massively beat only shaheds. but this week, after an almost three-month pause, the russian federation attacked ukraine. from strategic bombers 14 out of 20 cruise missiles were shot down by our anti-aircraft defense forces, including all those flying towards kyiv. as of

now, occupying ukraine has accumulated more than eight hundred missiles for its terror. this is half as much as the enemy had last year, at this same time, air force spokesman yuriy ignat said. however, so is our energy industry. the infrastructure currently does not have such capacities, because it was not possible to fully restore it after the attacks of the invaders. this year , thanks to western aid, ukrainian air defense has significantly strengthened, and american ones have appeared patriots the number of german arst systems has increased. together with the united states , it was possible to adapt the soviet anti-aircraft missile system, which is still the basis of the protection of the ukrainian sky against western missiles, because the reserves. almost exhausted, all this gives reason for optimism, as the president said during the online summit of the group of seven countries. this winter

, we have a chance to win the energy battle. last year, russia tried to hit ukraine with a blackout. its missiles were tried by the transnist shaheds, who became a weapon of russian terror destroy our energy. now we will settle the air force, particularly with your support. and if we continue to do this, if we endure this winter energetically, russian terror will suffer one of the biggest losses. at this time this year , ukraine has already experienced six massive enemy attacks. 50-100 missiles each, and a number of raids by shaheds. in november, it even happened in the country. as a result of another attack, all nuclear units in the controlled territory were disabled, and the energy system lost its integrity, millions of ukrainians were left without electricity, had to adapt to life with emergency shutdown schedules, a new characteristic sound appeared on the streets of the cities, the noise of the generator being turned on. according to the ministry of energy

, there were casualties from the shelling. 50% of energy infrastructure, thermal power plant turbines, distribution networks and scarce transformers. in the spring and summer, the energy industry carried out a large-scale repair campaign, but the energy system met this winter in a much worse condition than last year. of course, it is impossible to completely restore everything, and there are, unfortunately, damages and destructions that are not at all renewable, but conditionally something is happening there that does not make it possible... the necessary amount of electricity, for this there is import. it is thanks to the import of electricity from the european union, in particular romania and slovakia, that ukrainians have not yet had to remember how to use light according to the schedule, and such a risk exists, and even without mass attacks, a slight decrease in temperature to -4-5°, or unscheduled repairs power unit and a shortage occurs in the damaged electrical system, it goes through the winter for the first time without

capacity reserves, therefore... any a russian strike can be particularly painful, partners understand this and help not only with air defense systems, but also with appropriate equipment. one of the vectors of our efforts is to provide ukraine with backup equipment and spare materials, these are high-voltage transformers, industrial gas generators and mobile autonomous equipment that will increase resilience and prevent losses of heat and electricity in the event of a devastating strike by russia. another area of ​​assistance is the physical protection of critical infrastructure. this in particular is taken care of by the state agency for reconstruction and development of infrastructure. the agency assures that, together with ukrenergo, they have developed a three-level system of protection of energy facilities: gabions and big bags (special structures filled with loose materials) should protect against drone and rocket fragments, and concrete structures against the explosion of shaheds. the third level is protection against a direct

missile hit. americans provide. general protective equipment, in particular nets and fittings. how effective it will be will become clear in the near future. morning attack on december 8 may indicate the beginning of russia's winter campaign to destroy the ukrainian energy system. the relatively small number of missiles, some of which, according to defense express , lacked a real warhead, supports the version that the invaders are still only probing ukrainian air defense. if there are many times more missiles, there will be a serious bridge on the street. a return to emergency shutdowns is a very real scenario, experts say. the ministry of energy has already prepared the corresponding schedules. the russians continue to destroy the kharkivs. rockets they raid the civilian infrastructure, destroy the homes of peaceful ukrainians. almost 300 high-rise buildings have been demolished in north saltivka. how do people live and do

they recover? dmytro didora will tell you further: this is not a political action in any way, because it is hopeless. this is how mrs. svitlana and her husband had to live in the summer, they spent the night in a tent on the street and returned home in the afternoon. the couple was afraid that the ceiling would fall on their heads while they were sleeping, but the weather allowed them to sleep outside. their house was directly damaged by the russians in march of last year hitting the fifth floor. of course, this is not a transfer. the fire could not be extinguished for a week, the entrance was completely burnt, the woman's apartment too, the ceiling, walls and floor, everything was engulfed in fire. until now, the building has been partially restored, the apartments on the floor above, where the woman lives, were additionally filled with concrete in some places to make the structure more reliable. it has already been restored, buildings, construction work was underway, masonry.
