next year, and accordingly, from this we can expect a solution to the issue of the use of the russian federation of cabs , their army, to what extent it will help us to change the balance of forces precisely on the front line, well, you know that, we are constantly expecting from some kind of advanced technology that we our partners tell us that she can independently solve issues on the front line, well , especially from kabiv, and she helps solve any technique. and the akabas, well, planes, russians, they do not enter the zone of influence of our anti-aircraft forces, well, anti-missile forces complexes, they are thrown from 50-60 km, and it is difficult for us to intercept the cap itself with nitrous missile bodies, we need to destroy these planes that fly up, if we have, well, not if, when we have f16s, then there are, well, on every plane has an on-board radar, the on-board radar on the f-16 can see further than any on-board flight radar. the russian federation, and the missiles

used by these aircraft, they also shoot farther than missiles, air, air in air combat, than missiles of the russians, that is, when we have f16s, then in the air in battle we can destroy enemy planes even before they understand that the air will not start, and the russian pilots understand this very well, so they will either be destroyed if they try to fly to those cities where they plan to drop bombs, or they will simply refuse . russian pilots to carry out these combat missions, because they perfectly understand that this is the end of politics. mr. hetman, in your opinion, on what factors today depends on when ukraine will be able to resume its offensive operations, and how do you assess whether this can happen next year? maybe, i'm sure that it can happen in the spring or summer of next year, well, here are a few things, first of all, how powerfully will our, our, our, military, ours work. military-industrial

complex, i.e. ukroboronprom. we can see that we have begun to manufacture quite actively, with our own shells, our own self-propelled artillery. well, these, these, well, actually disembodied flying machines that can fly not only for a long distance, but also for a short distance. now we are in dire need of means of radio-electronic warfare, to destroy russian drones on the front line. and we, again, a lot depends. what and how our partners will supply us. we need heavy equipment, because there 31 avrems is not enough, we need even more tanks, even those tanks, the same leopards alone, which we negotiated with our partners, or rather agreed, we were not supplied in full , that is, we we need tanks, we need artillery systems, we need shells, and things like how about rockets for anti-aircraft missile systems, portable anti-aircraft missile complexes, well, for... devices

, and we need to put them out, so that on the front line, because they have installed the same lancets in us , as well as night vision devices, that is, thermal imagers, that is, they see at night, they see, they emit heat , our boys and girls are on the defensive and trying to attack, so the means of reba are for us, i wouldn't say that this is in the first place, but as it turned out, it is a very necessary thing for us too... we hope that our partners will be able to supply it in large quantities. mr. oleksiy, thank you for yours comment. oleksiy getsman, a military observer major of the reserve, was in direct contact with us. russian equipment is to be disposed of, our military is now carefully checking the enemy's weapons that were shot down on the contact line, they were collected and brought to special sites. the remains are examined, the quality of the metal is studied, and after it is ferrous, it is sent for processing. ours also took measurements. behind me is one of

the many sites where enemy ironclads are brought to knock down on the skirmish line. only here now there are about 200 tons of metal, this the remains of russian tanks, battleships, bmp and automobile equipment. there are more than 10 units of enemy equipment, or to be more precise, what is left of it. our military is investigating the metal. this is a device made in ukraine by reginofreso. and this is how it happens: first we check the russian bmp, we are interested in the indicators of nickel, because the higher its content, the stronger the metal. we apply the device to the cleaned metal and in 30 seconds we have the result. in this sample, 95% iron, 2% nickel, the percentage is very low. necessary

greater percentage of nickel. next, we go to check the battle tank of the occupiers. this is the turret of one of the main russian t-72 tanks, the explosion was so powerful that... that the turret was detached from the tank, and the top was completely destroyed. the technology is the same: we attach the device to the tank tower and see the first gaps in russian production. so it is not surprising that she suffered so much from the explosion. the nickel content of 1.18 is very low for such steel. therefore, this steel will be very brittle. we take measurements from the car body itself. here the results are even worse. as they say, analog not in all its glory. in this sample completely. essential nickel, which makes this steel very low-alloyed and very brittle, this indicates that russian technology is of very low quality, the steel does not meet the standards, neither old soviet nor new ones meet any standards, that is, the russian ministry of defense uses low-quality metal and

in fact, he lets his people die, what do ours do with knocked down enemy equipment, the surviving ones are repaired, improved and put into service. and the broken one will be sent for processing already after all the studies, - they say in the ministry of defense. the government tasked the ministry of defense with selling this destroyed equipment as scrap metal with further processing for sale on the domestic market by a metallurgical and machine-building enterprise of ukraine. the main task for disposal of this equipment is to determine what metal it is made of. the quality of the metal directly affects its sale price. after the sale of scrap metal, just one site of the ministry of defense can earn more than a million hryvnias. this money will go to the needs of the army, and they plan to start disposing of scrap iron in the coming weeks. vladyslav polyvoda, yevhen olinsky.

we are ukraine. marathon, only news. the question of the military, veterans, brigades, fortifications, and ultimately, the production of weapons. these questions. for three hours now , they have been burning the instructions of the supreme commander-in-chief, and every month should add strength to our defense, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, said. i wish you good health, dear ukrainian men and women, i made a bet. different issues, different aspects of defense lasted almost three hours. issues of the military, issues of veterans, issues of brigades, issues of fortifications, issues of weapons production. we work separately to implement all our homes. with partners regarding new weapons production, joint production and joint repair base. the task is to strengthen ukraine as much as possible and every month should add strength to our defense. i would also like to give a shout out to our defenders of the sky, they destroyed 30 shaheds last night alone,

a powerful result, and in total this week 104 shaheds have been destroyed out of 112 used russia, more. and the destruction of each, it is lives saved, infrastructure saved. i thank all the soldiers of our mobile fire groups, pilots and engineers of the air force and all our anti-aircraft fighters, well done. this week there were also shooting down missiles, including ballistic missiles, patriots, nasams, cheetahs and other systems provided by partners, which work differently. i thank everyone in the world who helps, we are preparing further reinforcement. bpo, this has already been agreed upon, and at almost every meeting i have with leaders, in almost all negotiations, this topic, the topic of air defense, there will be more systems, more protection of the sky, and one more thing: christmas is almost here, and although political activity

is decreasing in many countries, we continue to work as energetically as possible with all partners who can help now, who can support in the future and i am preparing... important foreign political contacts by the end of the year. the whole team, our team, our internationals works 24x7. i thank each and every person in the state who endures such, the same pace, who never gets tired of protecting, working, helping. glory to all who fight for the sake of ukraine, kudos to everyone who provides the desired result in every area where we so need strength. glory to us. to the people, glory to ukraine, chevorons bringing victory closer, dear dad, thank

you, thank you, my brother, save me! and i am asking you very, very much to protect st. nicholas so that he brings gifts to me and all the children. thank you for isa, that ukraine can celebrate holidays. dear, how are you? now it is so difficult for many to relax, especially when you are at school alone, when i am very tense. i do the exercise that i always do it helps, i open my mouth like that crocodile

and yawn sweetly, the first time i can make an effort, and then my jaw relaxes and opens by itself, i feel better and even want to sleep, do like mom to relax or fall asleep. on the site how are you.com, caring people from the mental health program tiyak and their friends from unicef have collected tips on how to help yourself and your child cope. there will be no vacation, and this is not news for ukrainian schoolchildren. the us senate postponed its vacation to vote on a number of important bills. among them is a critical one assistance to ukraine for the next year for more than 60 billion dollars. republicans and democrats have been unable to agree on the ukrainian issue for the second month. they openly speculate on a full-scale war in ukraine and earn political points on the eve. presidential elections in the united states of america.

volodymyr zelenskyy tried to convince american lawmakers this week during a visit overseas, he met with congressmen and us president joe biden himself. how did the visit of our president affect the mood of american legislators, and what the chances of agreeing to help before the new year? yuriy gula will tell. the clouds over the capitol began to thicken long before the arrival of volodymyr zelenskyi. the issue of supporting ukraine for american legislators is now more like a political game, because the presidential elections in the usa are not far away , in which both republicans and democrats play an important role. and our president also made his move in this party. to convince congressmen not to stop financial and military aid to ukraine, zelensky came to the usa in person. party leaders of the senate, democrat chuck schumer and republican mitch mcconnell, although they are on different political sides. barricade, but that day they both wore blue and yellow ties and met zelenskyy together as well.

they smiled kindly at the camera, but all the masks were already removed behind closed doors, where the meeting was taking place. republicans say they listened attentively to the ukrainian leader, sympathized with him, and applauded his speech, but they did not change their opinion, first protect their border, and then the ukrainian border. we had a great meeting with president zelensky. i... yelled at him that we we stand with him against putin's brutal invasion, but 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 have made it clear from day one that our first priority in any national security spending package will be our national security first. it is said that the white house did not plan contacts at the highest level, but zelensky did. for the third time since the full-scale war, biden accepted and for the first time

the words of the american president were not just about supporting ukraine to the end, but also about victory. we want ukraine to win the war and, as stated in the un charter, to protect its sovereignty. and today i announced an additional 200 million dollars for defense assistance, but without additional appropriations we do not give the ukrainians the opportunity to quickly respond to... the necessary challenges, the goal is there, there is a clear plan, but if possible, i am about the details of the next operations in 224 , will not be able to tell you publicly, i feel support from the administration of president biden, i also felt from today the senators, we talked about it and talked with the speaker, all these signals were there, they were more than positive, but we know that there are words, but there is a concrete result. 200 million includes air defense equipment, artillery ammunition,

anti-tank weapons and other equipment to help ukraine resist russian aggression, but american aid is close to being exhausted, the administration and senate democrats say. biden is even ready to compromise in negotiations with republican senators on migration policy, which is a stumbling block in the issue of funds allocated to ukraine, and this package still needs to be approved. house of the us parliament, meanwhile, the house of representatives has already gone on winter break, and the office of the republican speaker mike johnson even sent out a message with an excerpt of zelenskyi's interview with a hint. help can wait until the new year. vladimir putin said at his annual press conference that there will be peace when we achieve our goals. we all know what that means, but i hope that those house republicans who have held critical aid to ukraine hostage for months have heard putin's message loud and clear. instead, they go on vacation,

and ukrainians return to the fight, they need our help now, not after it. while the work of the house of representatives is out of the question, senators will continue working overtime from monday and will vote on the aid package for ukraine, at least this is what the senate majority leader chuck schumer firmly stated. however, he has no influence on his fellow republicans, so it is not yet known whether they will be able to rework, and some representatives of the republican party are skeptical about the chances of making important decisions before the holidays, whether the result will be in favor of ukraine or us. hostage to political contests, dependent on american legislators. usually at this time they are already on vacation, some on the beach in miami, some at the christmas tree in new york, but on monday they will have to return to work in congress. the issue of unblocking aid to ukraine more than 60 billion dollars is one of the critical ones, on which the course of the war actually depends, and

congressmen have exactly one week to approve it. from the usa, yuriy gulami, ukraine marathon, the only news. the russians are sending airborne troops to the front. trained personnel soldiers were spotted in the avdiivsky bakhmutsky and lemanokupian directions. massive attacks are carried out with heavy armored vehicles and with aviation support. avdiivka and maryanka have been storming non-stop for the past few days, they are literally pressing from all sides in order to break through our defense line. at the same time, the armed forces of ukraine are trying to counterattack the russians on bakhmutskyi. direction, lyudmila gavryliuk will tell more about the operational situation at the front. how are you? these are already historical shots of the training of our attack aircraft from the 24th separate mechanized brigade named after king danylo. the group goes on an assault to repulse the positions of the occupiers. later it will become known that the cytiricon on the outskirts has been occupied since the 14th of horlivka, and

our flag is flying here. our ukrainian horlivka is behind us. our. donetsk. donbas is ukraine. we will definitely win. glory armed forces glory to ukraine. despite difficult weather conditions, our boys continue to repel enemy attacks. it is the hottest in the avdiiv direction. the russians again launched a massive attack here with a large number of infantry, armored vehicles and aircraft. our positions are bombarded both day and night. first of all, they prepare their attacks, pre-attacking with aircraft and fpv drones on... positions, and then the equipment starts to move and is accompanied by enemy infantry. we regularly observe special forces, they are part of the drg, who are trying to get on the territory of the avdiiv chemical plant. destroyed near its walls, by our defense forces. the military say they are pressing from four directions at the same time to surround the city and capture avdiivka. when they go forward,

then they don't succeed there, they attack for about a kilometer. a little further east or west, they change their tactics, change the direction of their attacks, try to find some slack, and of course suffer huge losses. marina is also being actively stormed. this week, russian propaganda once again claimed to have captured the city. however the commander of osuv tavria, general oleksandr ternavskyi, denied these statements. according to him , now there are heavy battles, but the city has not been captured. and it is. also an element of informational and psychological warfare, however, in those areas where our units carry out tasks, it is possible, despite a significant advantage, to restrain the enemy. for more than a month , the russians have been attacking our positions in the direction of bakhmut. the main goal is to regain the lost positions near andriivka and klishchiivka. at the moment, the situation in the bakhmant direction

is tense. the russians go, using everyone own strength is possible. it is directly falling on... the asphalted parts, well, the parts that are there are being blown up by mines, well, but, but it goes, the enemy's tactics here have changed somewhat, the military say, now they have brought already prepared russian airborne troops here, it is being observed that they were trained according to the book with the use of armored vehicles, almost everything they have now, drones, armored infantry, they use during a storm, that means, but the picture does not change. direction, the rashists began to transfer new assault units here, most of the enemy attacks near senkivka. the russians, here, they say, the military, are trying to create a bridgehead for a further offensive on kupyansk. certain rotations, more techniques have appeared and, accordingly, the emphasis is placed on

this. this week, the enemy is using equipment more actively and this equipment is again being destroyed more actively. we can see this from the results of just one day, nine tanks at the estuary in the kupinsky direction are great losses against. now the rashists are active along the entire front line. use drones, the military says, the use has increased several times. now we see that, in particular, in the southern directions, even in the avdiiv direction, the enemy is trying to use this type of damage with, let's say, conventional fire means. the russian invaders have no problems with kamikaze drones. this is quite a big danger for ukrainian defenders. 38 kamikaze drones were used last day, and... the day before last, about 45 kamikaze drones were used, because the russians are focusing on pilaya, they are also necessary for our military, because

there are not enough drones at the front, - say the military. now the war is somewhat has changed, it is primarily a war of technologies, and whoever has more of them has an advantage. lyudmila havrylyuk, we are ukraine, marathon, edine news. dmytro lazudin, head of the public relations service of the 47th separate mechanized brigade, is in touch with us. dmitry, we congratulate you. good morning, good morning! so, how does the fact that the russians are strengthening their troops, which are trying to surround avdiivka, storming it with paratroopers and separate assault groups affect the quality of their military operations, the situation remains hot, and yesterday we were observed again by a column, they advanced on armor, actually with paratroopers, we detected this advance in advance, at first they realized that we saw them and allegedly postponed their plans, but in the end they went in a column a little in

another place and were defeated more than half of the units of equipment, more than 10 of them were destroyed there, and the personnel were also partially destroyed, partially will be destroyed, because they were entrenched on the remains of the landings, but again... we are watching them, firing, uh , attempted breakthroughs on using equipment, dmitry, as you say , how intensive they are, you can’t say that they go directly with equipment every day, every hour, but quite often they try to break through with armored vehicles, mainly bmp at the moment, and of course, in the current driving conditions war when our reconnaissance drones. watch over any of their movements, it cannot be said that this is the most effective use of equipment and people, at the same time, in any case, it

creates additional problems for our defenders, and also note that their artillery works, there are a lot of drones, in addition, fivi drones have now been added, which are capable of working at night, they have appeared in quite a large number, and this, of course, affects the supply of audio equipment for... the supply of military equipment which are located at the avdiyiv coke chemical plant , food, water, medicines, that is, the situation is difficult, and it is not getting any easier, at the moment, we understand that the distance between north and south in this avdiyiv gorge is kilometers, it is constantly being shot at, how many kilometers are kilometers, yes communication paused for a second. dmytro, in your opinion, what is the point of such operations with the use of personnel who ride on armor on

open territory, in fact in the winter period, when there is no so-called zelenka, and on the territory that has already been shot at by the armed forces of ukraine, i think to the centimeter in fact, of course the risks are extremely high in such an operation for the russians, but still they dare to do it, and what do you think they... count on when they do this, they try to smear constantly some weak points in our defense, they also understand that our military is getting exhausted, there are also casualties, people are constantly in the cold under fire, try to suppress artillery first, fpv drones, again, and then go with equipment or manpower in small groups are breaking through, constantly keeping our defenders in tension. dmitry, regarding how the situation around the city is changing, have the russians managed to achieve any success in the course of their offensive

operations, how do you assess their progress? well for the last two three weeks the big one there is no progress, there is practically in our area, at least once they entered the positions, then quite quickly the servicemen of the 47th separate mechanized brigade retook these positions, if they have any small gains, well, they are measured , well, literally there by hundreds of meters, this is the maximum , we are in a fairly advantageous position , but this does not mean that the enemy's attacks will be repulsed by themselves, this is hard work, and again i will note that people are also not iron, they have hot hearts, but still at sub-zero temperatures they cannot simply. dmytro, that means that at any good opportunity, the 47th brigade of the armed forces of ukraine tries to counterattack as it is

active. defense, that's right, we are in active defense and are always ready for counterattacks, when, of course, the situation requires it, and there is military logic in this. thank you, mr. dmytro, dmytro lazutkin, head of the public relations service of the 47th separate mechanized brigade, about the situation, the extremely difficult situation around avdiyivka. well, according to the words of mr. dmytro, which we have no reason to doubt because of... the colossal resources that the russians have been using over the past few months to achieve their goal of encircling avdiivka, they are still far from this task, as the armed forces of ukraine control the perimeter of this city, constantly repelling russian attacks. later , we will have news on our broadcast, marina kuhar will tell them, and after that we will return to the discussion in this studio. chevrons

approaching victory. before we went, we drew lots, and guess what, i got the devil every time, and i don't know something, i wanted to be an angel for some reason, and we also went, i was the oldest, i got myself together. i say, well, who will be king? and they say to me, well, who, who? kolya, well, you, well, well, well, a king, a coal, and that's what you wanted to be? who did you want to be? a miner? come on, can you hear me? good evening, are we from ukraine? generous, generous, generous,

a swallow flew in. let's get fertile, step by step, they move from one danger to another, step by step, they free our land,

fields and forests, houses that have been visited by evil, from invisible death, without sappers, life will not return here, without courage and dedication of these people, we will not return home, for your work and our safety, we thank the sappers of the state emergency service of ukraine. i am a ruthenian soldier.
