authorities. pavlo, i thank you for participating and telling about the consequences of the night attack on the capital, pavlo petrov, the press officer of the state emergency service, was a guest of svoboda ranok. thank you. the russian military continued its offensive on avdiivka at an increased pace. the day before, they seemed to have advanced to the southwest of the city. about this is reported by the american institute for the study of war. analysts of the deep state project say that during the last three actions , the russian military carried out assaults in at least 16 places in the avdiiv region. they seem to have seized the so-called strip in the south of the city, fighting is going on in the southeastern outskirts of the city. commander. oleksandr ternavskyi of the tavri operational and strategic group of troops stated the day before that the russian army two days ago in the avdiyiv and marin directions launched massive offensive operations with the support of armored vehicles. the russian military is actively using aviation, attacking with guided air bombs, trying to advance, both in the north and in the south, says

commander ternavskyi. the ukrainian general staff reports that the armed forces of ukraine repelled 37 attacks in the avdiyiv direction during the day. the russian ministry of defense has nothing to say about the situation near avdiivka. they do not say, but in the usa they say that since the beginning of the new offensive on avdiivka on october 10 of this year, the russian army has lost more than 13,000 military personnel and 220 combat vehicles. this was reported by national security spokeswoman adrian watson. however, despite such heavy losses, the russian army intends to continue its offensive. president putin still wants to conquer the country of ukraine and conquer its people. that is why russia... continues its offensive operations in the east of ukraine in several directions, including around avdiyivka, lyman and kupyansk. russia's attempted offensive did not bring any strategic gains and came at a serious cost. from the moment the offensive began in october, according to our estimates, the russian military lost more than 1,300

troops along the avdiivka-novopavlivka line and more than 220 combat vehicles, equivalent to six maneuver battalions in equipment alone. at the same time, the reuters agency and the cnn channel, citing their sources familiar with intelligence data, report that russia's losses since the beginning of the full-scale invasion amounted to 315 thousand people killed and wounded, i noted that neither russia nor ukraine officially disclose their loss data. next, we will talk about the situation around avdiivka on our broadcast, me too i encourage our viewers to ask their questions, if you have them, during this broadcast, and serhiy tsyhotskyi, an officer of the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade named after yakov handyuk, is currently in touch with us. welcome to our broadcast, thank you for joining. good morning, glory to ukraine. thank you, mr. serhiy, tell us what is the current situation around avdiivka? well, i will say more about

the defense line of our brigade, the line, yes, yes, holding the defense, our enemy, really began to use his and manpower more massively and also use armored vehicles, only in the morning today their tanks attacked ours. straight bmp, here, already at this hour, one tank is destroyed, here are the others, the others looked at it and went back, but the infantry is attacking, that is, at this moment attacks are going on our, well, on our units, just at this moment , mr. serhiy, tell me, general tarnavskyi the day before , he stated that the russian army uses armored vehicles, aviation, what else can you say, add here, what equipment? in general, in the russian forces, how many of them are there, but you are talking about the infantry, again, here it is

direction still, so to speak , they do not skimp on manpower in the russian army , they also use a lot of infantry, and they used it without stopping, i say used as a thing, because the attitude towards their military, from their command, is like that to the living creatures, as not to people, but as simply to... for some instrument, you know, they kill, the following group, they killed, the following group, and so on and on, but this third wave has already gained such an active phase, and they all forces are thrown into the performance of the tasks that are set before them their political leadership is there, and all the other teams of various branches are there, but the ukrainian general staff reports that in the past day in the avdiyiv direction, the armed forces of ukraine repelled 37. so when civilians see these reports and so many attacks, what does this mean?

can you tell in practice what an attack by russian forces looks like? how does it look in practice? so they get out, well, somewhere they are driven there to a certain certain area, they get out of their cars there, and then they start, let’s say, to go in a column, there one at a time alone, or in bulk, that is. and from the imitation of the fact that they will now reach some position there, so we discover them, destroy them, eh, a certain time passes, someone remains alive, crawls back, some group regroups, leaves again, and so on and on, that is before that, as the infantry marches, it begins, it is necessarily carried out, well, it is traditional, artillery shelling, uh, constantly hovering in the sky, when the weather permits. scouts, their eagles there, there is also a lot of kamikaze drones involved,

which also cause great damage and danger to defense forces, that's why it all looks, you know, like a horror movie, and you can say that everything burns, smokes, explodes and so on, and at the same time, it is necessary, it is necessary to preserve. er, a cold mind , to maintain er confidence that the enemy will not pass, and we do it, and this, well, in practice shows that it is better, than you can’t allow panic, well, panic, i’ll say honestly, there is no panic among our soldiers, everyone understands their task, everyone understands that no one but us, and they understand that behind us is our great... country, which, well, really, which we love and who we are here for.

i thank you, thank you very much, for taking the time to tune in to let ukrainian society know what is happening. serhiy tsykhodskyi said that at the moment, when the russian forces were on the offensive, an officer of the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade named after yakov handziuk was in contact with our project svoboda ranok. thank you sergey. defense and maintenance of current positions. also the build-up of forces and stockpiles of weapons during the year, this is the military strategy for the next 24th year is jointly developed by ukraine and the usa, the new york times reports. the united states believes that such a strategy will force. russia to consider the possibility of negotiations at the end of the 24th or in the 25th year, but the representatives of ukraine, according to this publication, want to go on the offensive. kyiv believes that russia can be thrown off balance with the help of attacks on military factories, ammunition depots and logistics. this plan is still being finalized and is very bold - the new york times quotes one ukrainian former

high-ranking military officer. american officials are trying to prepare ukraine for the next year of hostilities. they warn. that the aid to be approved by congress may not be as substantial as in the two previous years of the war. we need a clearly articulated strategy that will allow ukraine to win, and so far their responses have not been effective enough, they have not given us the clarity and detail that we have asked for over and over, literally 24 hours after i was handed the gavel as speaker of the house of representatives. so administrators the biden administration appears to be asking for billions of additional dollars without proper oversight, without a clear strategy for victory, and without any of the answers that i believe the american people deserve. as the new york times points out, the need for a new strategy arose against the background of the apparent failure of the ukrainian counteroffensive and the weakening of ukraine's support in congress. the united states provided ukraine with more than

$111 billion in military and economic support during the nearly two-year war. a significant number of republicans now opposes their spending, while others demand to see a new strategy before they vote to allocate the funds. we will talk about the military strategy for the coming year later. defense express expert ivan kyrychevsky joined our broadcast. greetings, ivan. good morning. tell me your opinion. in the usa, it is as if they are recommending kyiv to consolidate on the achieved positions and keep on the defensive. at the same time, build up forces and weapons over the next year. this is what the new york times writes. how do you like this advice, considering. military and political by the way, it is rational, if you take into account the fact that it takes a year to deploy production, and it takes at least a year or more to produce individual weapons, because if it is from one side, the borders of 1991 and the like, it is possible within the framework of this meme to move , but we must take into account, for example, that we

need one year for production, for example, the production of heavy infantry fighting vehicles, like the marder or bradley type, our capacities are not yet deployed, well , accordingly, all the more. teams still need rest, so in this case to switch to strategic defense is still the only possible rational solution, and if we talk about the publication of this new york times, that there are such thoughts in the ukrainian military leadership, allegedly about preparing such surprises, that is , to do something to knock out ee russian army and defeat their forces, what can you say here, that is, can an army that is on the defensive, considering its resources there. to inflict certain such point blows, i.e. somewhere to go into such a more active phase? well, one does not interfere with the other, do you think that, let's say, when the army is on strategic defense, then it is better for it to have such factors of suddenness in order to pass some counterattacks, but on the other hand, large-scale offensive operations, for example, even what was instigated by this summer, not to mention

the summer, well, i don't have to do it yet, but i think that when the new york times talked about it, they rather meant some such asymmetric operations in the style of continuation, you know, cutting the black sea fleet there on solyam , or try to hit sooner sweaty objects of the russian federation, well , there is a military-industrial complex and the like, something like that, in fact, it does not exclude one or the other, it does not interfere, it's just that the journalists of this publication submitted that these are like two processes of different vectors, in fact it is one, it will complement the bottom one, the troops at the front are on the defensive, well, there other components of the defense forces of ukraine will try to strike... on the territory of the russian federation with its strategic component, but the west in your opinion, from what we observe in the public sphere, including not yet ready in order to allow ukraine to use western weapons there to hit the territory of russia directly? and what kind of western weapons can be on the territory of russia, you see, we are just a political discourse, it does not take into account the basic thing, none of the types of western

assembly available to us, it does not allow us to hit the targets that we need, roughly speaking, at a distance , stormier. at the same time, it will not reach moscow according to our wish, the attacker will also, accordingly, why is there a need to strike on the territory of russia, especially since there are no such reserves there allow to strike, this is all a story about the fact that we are not allowed to do something there, it is rather , well, forgive me for the blunt expression, well, just to cover the fig leaf of the nato countries, regarding the fact that they do not have sufficient means of such a long-range attack, if we talk about number of weapons, this is not the first time we have heard, and this time zelenskyi said it while in the usa. about the fact that there are agreements on military production, that is , if we talk about the information that is publicly available, about the joint production of weapons, well , air defense equipment, then what can happen, what are the sensei plans, whether the western military industry can be developed in such a way, including to provide ukraine with everything necessary for deterrence, well, for that confident deterrence, let's say, maybe for some elements

of offensive actions. and here everything is really sad, because, well, you know, in this case , to count on the year 2025, that we will accumulate the necessary stock of equipment and weapons for offensive operations there by this period , and strengthen the defense there, this is actually a very optimistic calculation, because, i repeat, that just make a heavy infantry fighting vehicle. need 12 months on the existing capacities, we , for example, these capacities still need to be deployed, about the reserve, let’s say this, the cyclic production of anti-aircraft missiles, it is better not to say, then it will be even sadder, it takes 25 months to replenish the patriot reserves, those 48 months themselves, that is, several years, consider, roughly speaking, well, that is, we are like this, you know, we are very, let's say this, on the one hand, we are in a risky situation, when this strategy that we are forced to choose, it will not work, on the other hand , we have no options, we continue for now... suffer i can't, you say everything is sad, but why is everything sad, because we did not launch production in such, well, in such a volume, as the situation requires, there are no such opportunities

to do it, there are opportunities, just time, you understand, there is everything opportunity, everything is happening, there is simply not enough time, why exactly, the western nations have recently expressed themselves in such a way about the problems of the summer counteroffensive in the style of this ancient roman saying, quintiles return yours to me, return the legion. well , because, let's say, there was a window the possibility is the summer of 2023, when it was possible to achieve some tangible strategic results, using all the remnants of the shells, weapons and the like available there, unfortunately, for one reason or another, this did not happen, why did not even a historical riot occur, when our children are already growing up, well, we simply have such a situation that we have to go on the defensive and work as hard as possible to, well, try to force production, well , for the sake of justice... the american military-industrial complex itself has all the needs he won’t even pull out his own, why do the americans even have to buy weapons from someone and complete them there, not to mention the fact that they will provide for our needs there, including our needs, why

did the story arise that we need to expand production, but well, for the sake of justice, why everyone we are wasting time here, because it was necessary to remove all possible bureaucratic obstacles for the production of weapons at the beginning of this year, and not the fact that the head of state is only now during a visit and seems to be there during the second direct contact. with representatives of the american defense industry promises to remove bureaucratic obstacles, we ourselves are still wasting time here. the western media also wrote about the fact that putin, well, there is a chance to win this war in general, because the western media take into account the fact that russia used this time to expand the production of weapons there, in this sense, why russia managed to adapt to the conditions and prepare for a long war, in this sense to arm itself, in the west it did not, but because russia simply did not waste its resources for the last 30 years. defensive potential, you know, here we just somehow talked about how, oh, how we destroyed the army there, and there, if you look at how the western armies got rid of their weapons, then

in principle we will be sad there, for example, great britain, it is to the end during the cold war, the stockpiles of approximately 400 tanks, now there are 200, the us army managed to produce 8,500 abrams tanks in 10 years, now they have 2,500 and another 200 for storage, at least half of the abrams tanks have gone somewhere, not to mention that... the americans had older m-48 tanks, m60, well, analogues of t-55 and t-62, well, which were distributed somewhere, the germans, you think, well, in principle in europe, the last years there, 2015-2019, can be called a socialist competition, which of them is responsible for the faster disposal of leopard tanks, one of the latest modifications of the m113 armored personnel carrier, about the fact that there the british managed to close, in principle , some factories for the production of tanks, artillery, in principle, cameras. as well as other european countries, it is somehow already inconvenient to speak, the russians simply do not have their stockpiles of weapons and the military-industrial complex as a whole wasted, here they are, but on the other hand

, the west did not even control how russia fulfills the agreement on the limitation of conventional forces in europe, because if it did control, then the russians would not have all these huge stocks of weapons, on which they still leave, fighting against us ivan, but now, has this situation changed in approaches, if earlier, well, relatively speaking, the west was not preparing for war at the time when russia was doing it, then now we... we are already hearing statements from joseph biden there as well , that such a war is also from european leaders, that russia's war with nato is quite real , it is necessary to prepare for it, that is, against the background of the fact that there are already such political statements, do you see that the west deploys these powers to the maximum in order to accumulate this necessary resource, at least for itself, maybe as much as possible, well, i won’t say, i spend as much as possible, but the fact that the american military-industrial complex is resuming the production of m777 howitzers and even the bradley infantry fighting vehicle from which i collect them. there is no way to refuse, they will now produce two cars in parallel: m10 booker, which was supposed to replace bradley, and in general, the good old bradley, well, that is, here they spin some kind of flywheel, just, well

, actually. if, if you try to draw such a red line, on the one hand, the whole civilized world is working to create arsenals against russia, against the russian federation, simply, on the one hand, we are not able to advance now, on the other hand, we have wasted time for the deployment of defenses, so there is the situation that we will have to spend the whole of 2024 in strategic defense with all the unpleasant consequences for the consequences of this, well, we will have to accept rather the consequences of our mistakes here, so that we can spend this year, but a little bit wrong and the consequences would be, well... in terms of the deployment of the production of turnbuckles. ugh. ivan, thank you for this analysis. ivan karychevskyi, defense express expert, was a guest of svoboda ranok. but volodymyr zelenskyi and joseph biden held talks in washington. the usa allocated another package of military aid worth 200 million dollars. the ukrainian president visited for the third time since the start of the full-scale invasion the united states. he also met with republican and democratic senators there.

voice of america correspondents will tell all the details of what the politicians talked about. the second and most important day of the ukrainian president's visit to washington. he has meetings since the morning, first he speaks in a closed session before senators, then he has a meeting with the speaker of the lower house of congress, mike johnson. the ukrainian president is trying to convince the congressmen why it is important to continue to support ukraine, why the congress should vote for an aid package for ukraine next year? he gave understand, and we all made it clear, if we lose, putin wins, and that will be very dangerous for the united states. we cannot allow putin to influence through any surrogates what we should do in ukraine. he also noted one more thing: he needs help quickly. if we don't help quickly, a couple of things will happen: first, military needs, and second, europe and many other allies will say what's going on here,

they... do not provide them with help, but zelenskyi's words do not seem to have convinced the republicans too much, they continue to insist on their point. first, congress should approve migration reform, strengthen the border with mexico, and only then deal with the security of ukraine. the biden administration is demanding billions of additional dollars with no oversight, no clear strategy for victory, and no accountability to the american people. i've made it clear from day one that our... the next condition of any national security spending package will be first our own national security. the border situation is an absolute disaster, and it's all because of white house policy. after difficult negotiations in congress, the ukrainian president met with joe biden at the white house. according to the us president, it is important to continue supporting ukraine, because if a new aid package for ukraine is not approved by the end of the year, it will be the best christmas ever.

so far, the funds, according to the white house, are only enough until the end of this year, from the existing funds, president joe biden announced today on the allocation of another military tranche for ukraine in the amount of 200 million dollars. we will continue to supply ukraine with critical equipment and weapons as long as we are able to do so, including the $200 million i approved today for critical equipment, including air defense equipment. shells, but without additional funding, which is already running out, and we will not be able to meet urgent operational needs. putin is betting that the us will not be able to provide aid to ukraine, we must, must, must prove that he is wrong zelenskyi said that it is very important that ukraine gets access to frozen russian assets. we are talking about the sum of 300 billion dollars. he believes that these funds should be used in the war

against ukraine. we aim to defeat russia in the air, to destroy russia's dominance in the air, this will help intensify our ground advance in 2024. he who controls the sky controls the length of the war. zelensky still hopes that american congressmen will approve the aid package for ukraine. however, they have little time, already on thursday last session day. for us congressmen and beyond they go on christmas break. andriy borys, vyacheslav filyushkin, voice of america. but to analyze these statements and the meeting, the effectiveness, what was agreed upon, we will talk about it further. pavlo klimkin, minister of foreign affairs of ukraine in 14-19, joins our broadcast. pavle, i welcome you to our broadcast. thank you for joining. greetings to all, friends. what are your

conclusions. after this meeting of joseph biden with...
