blackouts, blackouts in the cold, and without lights, she wrote music and lyrics for this play, and today she also plays the role of a mother on stage. i will add that the role of saint nicholas is also played by oleksiy kravchuk. saint nicholas, you can call him in life as well, because in peacetime he directs, plays an actor, and is also a director. however, at the beginning of the full-scale war, he joined the military, was wounded, but helps our soldiers with various gifts they need. the story itself is quite interesting, adapted to modern times, to modern events in ukraine, because it is a family. eh, whose father is currently weaving a net at the front, but the intrigue is happening right around this net, the devils want to destroy it, instead there is a struggle with the good, who want to make it magical so that it can be delivered to our military. now there are really a lot of artists on the stage, because these are musical

groups, this is the symphony orchestra of lviv, this is the dudaryk men's band of kochi, groups are singing on both sides, actors are playing on the stage. already at the end of this performance for children will be gifts, so we'll wait, that's all for now. thank you for the information, espresso correspondent natalya starapravo, write letters to mykolaiv about the musical. the espresso tv channel, together with the public organization baza ua, is collecting funds for atvs to transport the wounded and other needs of the 93rd separate mechanized brigade of the kholodny armed forces. in extremely difficult conditions , the ukrainian military fights for victory every day, not leaving wounded comrades on the battlefield, with atvs, evacuation will be faster and easier, and therefore the chances of saving the wounded are much larger. our goal is uah 800,000. with your help, we have already collected more than

100,000. support our collection, you can see all the details on the screen. that's all i have, i'll see you soon. the 17th news team monitors what is happening in ukraine and the world. we will tell you about the most important, and of course, you can read more about current events on our website espresso tv, also subscribe to our channels on social networks. before meeting! the commander of the eastern group of troops held a meeting with the commanders of the units that... have defense now in the eastern direction, and as a result, as a result of this meeting, he said and commented that the situation in the east is difficult and the enemy is advancing along the entire front, so now we especially need support, we need mobilization inside the country and the support

of our friends, in particular, we will talk about this with andrii dobryanskyi, communications director of the ukrainian congress committee. glory to ukraine, mr. andrii. glory to the swarms. uh, we've heard a lot of different statements from the united states in the last week, ranging from the fact that they won't pass, it will be possible to pass a document that... approves aid to ukraine and ending with the fact that biden is ready to make concessions and in every possible way contribute to the strengthening of the migration policy, which, for which the republicans stand, but kirby says that what, the americans will pay with their blood, if now we, the whole world and, in particular, america, do not support ukraine and ukrainians. what is the mood among average americans right now, and what is the sentiment. in washington, on this aid package, on this support,

we have a week left in them to help us. well, most americans, or not ordinary americans, whether in washington, support aid for ukraine, and we even know that the majority of congressmen and senators would also like to vote for this aid. only, as you mentioned, now there is a... year some politicians in the republican party saw an opportunity and convinced others, they even convinced senator mitch monnell, who is very supportive of ukraine, but that they feel that as of now they will not take this opportunity and change our law due to asylum or other border issues, then all this will be lost to them, even and what we will understand. that they want to vote for ukraine , for aid to israel, for other important

needs, this is now stopped, we know that there was no discussion last week, they did not say much, they only started again because of the favorable ones, but to me, i am satisfied, that those main representatives on one side and the other, are... that is, senator murphy, senator lanford, both support ukraine, the chairman of the senate and the democrats and republicans, both support ukraine, speaker johnson told how he wants, he would wanted to support ukraine, the president supports ukraine, only those, unfortunately, internal affairs, and even this can be felt from ordinary americans, that they would like to see a change in the law, that... regarding asylums or other immigration matters, how would that be happened

before the end of the month, i would be very happy, but i already thought from november that the agreement would not come until january, so i would, i would like to find something a little better before the christmas holidays, but we don't know yet whether they will take it seriously the americans, the probability of war, the probability that nato will have a war with russia, or for them this war, which is now between russia and ukraine, when russia attacked us, is something so distant and somewhere out there completely european, peripheral? you know, most americans have not served in the armed forces, this is a very small percentage, our country, more than 300 million people, and even those who have served, they have the feeling that it is to execute friends, and... here in america, unfortunately, because we are so far from other continents,

ordinary citizens do not think, do not vote for international affairs, foreign affairs, and however, such a war is also involved, so when i, when i talk to senior veterans here in america, we always come back to the topic that america is very powerful when it fights, but it will take a long time to convince itself , that it is necessary to get involved in some kind of big war, and the same here , in relation to our case in ukraine, those extraordinary losses of endless shageds or rockets, to us, no one here in america felt this, immigrants, probably, but in america no one... er, understood what it was to experience anxiety, and not only to go through it once, but after about

two years already, ah, and this, i think, is the most influential thing, that there is a provision here, and uh, and ordinary americans would not understand what it is like to go through this, we will try to recount everything, what we know, when i, i will visit ukraine, i will ask others to visit ukraine with me, to understand what this... is, and this is why, i think, you see in congress, congressmen and senators who have moved themselves, some candidates now running against former president trump, like gov. chris. and governor heliy, all who were in ukraine, they can it is realistic to say, practically, that it is in ukraine, and convey it to the americans, but to your question, unfortunately, most americans simply do not know that it is simply what is happening in ukraine. mr. andriy, we have already touched on the issue of presidents, and in europe today, almost a year before

the presidential elections in the united states , people are already worried about what will happen, how? if it is not biden who wins, if it is not someone else who wins, namely trump, and one of the fears is that nato can simply weaken, collapse, and just this alliance there will not be a safe one, and then everyone actually remains somewhere there alone, first of all, the threat of the same russia, as a vision of a possible such consequence of the election result in the united states, if, say, trump wins in washington. for example, so in the american establishment? we have to mourn day after day for the first er these negotiations and also our first primaries, i want to honor those candidates who are now even participating in the debate, not the former president who does not even want to get involved in

this matter, but thinks he has to to become the main candidate again in november, we can remind our european friends that there is an opportunity to urgently include ukraine in the european union, they can just as less in a year, when it is the 50th anniversary of nato, they can, this summit, excuse me, 755th nato, we can see that ukraine will be included in washington to... nato, this is all that european states, states have the opportunity, they control their future, and they can include ukraine, they can support ukraine, even without america, or without america's influence, to complain about what is happening here in america, it's, well, it's a matter that

's a bit unclear, who... doesn't care why ukraine is not in the european union now, it's just a european matter, here in america yes, i think not only in europe, they are complaining about the next, the next position, how would president trump get out, again, but just as many american activists, american lawyers, there are now very serious and legal cases against this president, we will see when that happens, but i can't, how do we have 50 states that have primaries for one candidate to run and not even have a single vote yet, and this candidate trump who is going to show up so strong has not won one, one vote since '16, lost his vote in '20, all the candidates

he supports have lost, and we, we 'll see and have to believe in american citizens, that when the time comes to stand up and vote, we will see that all this that we have heard, whether it is us who complain about nato and ukraine, or others who complain about the economy and do not know how it turned out with president trump, let's see who will vote for him. well, for now, trump ahead of biden in such a poll. and in fact, it also caused such questions and discussions not only in our studio, but in society in general. there is another question that is constantly floating around somewhere about the fact that, as if not one country, then another, can incline ukraine and russia to negotiations. earlier, the phrase was often heard that ukraine should

agree to negotiations, now they say that it is russia, although... and putin does not claim this, and we said that we do not want negotiations, we, we need concrete goals, and in particular, it is return to our borders, which are internationally recognized, but now there is such a thesis that the united states of america hopes that over the next year ukraine will have some certain successes, and actually against the background of these successes , talks and negotiations between ukraine and russia about the future fate may take place , further development. events, whether such things are really being discussed in the united states, discussing the possibility of negotiations, we have a little more than a minute, mr. andrii. only because of some profitable talk shows here or because of news or other tv channels was this one the very talk about the negotiations and almost everyone

voting for help, does this poll really reflect the public's position? i think so, those numbers should be considered that some come out and they tell the americans that... america sends money, and some will show a little more truthfully that the money does not leave america at all, but most of it remains more than 90% of the money, it is to buy weapons in america, restore factories, pay for work to produce these weapons for ukraine, this is extraordinary help for the american economy and...

stanislav fedorchuk, veteran, political scientist, head of the post-proliferation department of the "ukrainian strategic initiative" analytical center. we are already in touch. congratulations, mr. stanislav. good day. and what? we know that tomorrow is an important day. the ninth forum of the peoples of postrosia will be held tomorrow or the day after tomorrow in the senate of the italian republic in rome. he will also be in germany, in berlin on december 14. happening, why are we talking about it, why is it important, because for sure, as long as russia exists, in the format in which it is now, it will pose a danger to ukraine, and to many other countries, and to the world in general, so about some such defragmentation of russia, about the scenarios of the future fate of russia in the new we talk about the format quite often, i ask you

to announce the main theses. actually, what will you talk about on this forum? actually , representatives of enslaved peoples will first of all present and speak at the forum , there will be a representative of the government of the chechen republic , there will be representatives of other peoples enslaved by russia, and actually the main topic of discussion, as i understand it, from the program that was provided earlier, is its own question, in what way... this dismemberment of russia, let's call a spade a spade, should happen, in what civilized way the borders of future states should be formed in the place of russia, and in the end , the european experience related to denazification will be discussed, because we understand very well that the defeat of russia is not only about defeat on

the battlefield, not only about reparations, not only. about compensation for damages, it is about working with the population that was zombified by russian propaganda, and about returning to one's own roots, about rethinking the past, about returning to one's own, because in reality many do not understand that a third of the population so-called russia - these are not russians, and they never were, and the fact that they were separate peoples for 200 years under occupation, separate. 300, some of whom have been under occupation for the last 70 years, all these wrongs must be spoken out loud, and in my opinion, it is very important to talk about it with european politicians, talk about it in parliaments and look for common points of contact, because really, i don't think , that this process will be so fast, and it is very important

that the representatives of the freed... peoples agree among themselves so that they perceive themselves as a team that has its own interests, but which is actually the funeral team of the russian empire, and which must agree among themselves on many issues, starting with what the transitional governments will look like, how the constitutions of their countries will be written, and actually, what they see their common future, because one thing... the question of economic relations between them, the question of finding interested parties in economic relations with the european union, in security relations with nato, with other security structures of the world, these are questions that actually should be discussed already, we should not approach the disintegration of russia lightly , in my opinion, the more it is discussed, the more documents are adopted, the better

the civilized world will understand it and the more... he will treat this process.
