added that there are hundreds of shelling per day on the front line nearby, and about 50 massive strikes in avdiivka itself. despite the danger, more than a thousand townspeople remain there. last day it was possible to bring out only five. the general staff cannot comment on the plans of the armed forces for the next year. otherwise, this question will look like a show. this was stated by the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhnyi, commenting on the information of foreign... media about the alleged preparation of a new counteroffensive for 2024 . the general also added that the mobilization in ukraine should not be strengthened, but return to the scheme that worked before. as for the issues of mobilization, well , it is not something that needs to be strengthened, but to be returned to those limits, to those frameworks that worked before, because now it is, let's say, the problem of those guys who... fight on the front line,

someone has to replace them, someone has to help them, and they are now, well, over time , they are left on their own, and this is completely wrong. the ukrainian military is experiencing a catastrophic lack of ammunition for soviet weapons, the commander of the tavria group oleksandr tarnavskyi said. this especially applies to ammunition of 122 and 152 mm caliber, both for artillery and for tanks, their shortage is felt. along all front lines. so, globally, ukrainian defense forces are forced to switch to defense in all directions. today, the enemy, well, i won’t say that he stopped us, stopped us, but in some areas of the front, we switched to defense , switched to pre-positional defense, because well, you know, we cannot be strong in all areas of the front, we are not adventurers, so somewhere we cross, and somewhere we pass.

continue our respective offensive actions by maneuvering, by firing, by advancing, but we do not abandon this intention, and again we prepare our reserves for our further large-scale actions. a historic moment, as german defense minister boris pistorius commented, the signing of the plan for the permanent deployment of the bundeswehr brigade in lithuania. brigade deployment schedule. the eastern flank of nato directly on border with russia was signed together with lithuanian defense minister arvidos anushauskes. according to the plan, german troops will arrive in lithuania gradually, starting in 2024. the core of the german brigade will consist of five battalions, including tank and artillery. never before had the bundeswehr deployed its troops permanently abroad. germany with

a fixed contingent of soldiers. in the past , missions have always been temporary and variable. this is happening for the first time. let me remind you that we are talking about 4,800 soldiers and about 200 of civilians who will begin their mission on a permanent basis as early as 2027. latvia is expanding the ukrainian military training program, the ministry of defense of ukraine reported after the meeting of the ministers of the two countries, rustem umir. and andrios sprudes. according to the general staff data from last july, latvians helped train about 350 of our defenders in several areas. this year, the volume of training increased by more than four times. and by the end of the year, latvia will train more than 1,500 soldiers of the armed forces. at the same time , the ukrainian side is counting on next year almost a hundred people were trained by latvian instructors. the national guard received

27 armored vehicles, they will provide fire. in support of units in battle, they will deliver troops and ammunition to positions, evacuate the wounded from the battlefield. this was announced by the minister of digital transformation mykhailo fedorov on his social media page. each of the cars can accommodate up to 13 people. the equipment was purchased with the funds of the united-24 global initiative. the deputy secretary of state of the united states of america arrived in kyiv for a visit in... reported on the social network us ambassador to ukraine bridget brink. she emphasized that this, this visit once again confirms that washington's support for ukraine is unwavering. danger in the black

sea. the new attack marine drone of the russians, which they recently presented under the name odovanchik, can pose a threat to civilian vessels. this was stated by the spokeswoman of the southern defense forces. according to her, such a scenario is quite likely, because muscovites have repeatedly stated that if shipping with ukrainian ports continues, they will be perceived as legitimate military targets. district court helsinki decided to arrest neo-nazi jaan petrovskyi on suspicion of a war crime. telegram channel nekhta writes about this. earlier it became known that... finland will not extradite the head of the neo-nazi group rusych to ukraine, because the supreme court of the country believes that petrovskyi's rights may be violated in a ukrainian prison. let me remind you that vatashka of the russian neo-nazi group was detained around the middle of july this year. he

planned to fly from finland to france, but he was stopped by border guards. the court transferred to property of the state is property. the distant manager of the assembly center of the rivne region, its value is estimated at 50 million hryvnias, the sbi said. we are talking about several plots of land with homesteads and in the mountain and ski resorts of prykarpattia, as well as seven buildings with a total area of ​​almost 1,500 square meters. two trucks were also seized from the suspect. the sbi reminded that the investigation into the official began back in july. due to the beating of a subordinate soldier who threatened to expose his criminal activities. later in october another suspicion of illegal enrichment was reported to the manager. the head of the rivne regional tcc and sp is in custody without the possibility of making bail. every time after

the extension of the preventive measure , the suspect's lawyer tries to appeal the court's decision. the military commission may face up to 12 years. imprisonment. a furniture factory that makes cigarettes. in vynohradov , zakarpattia, law enforcement officers discovered a workshop for the production of counterfeit goods. this is reported by the state border service. counterfeit goods were produced in the premises that were registered as a furniture workshop. during the search, machines, processing machines, defective cigarettes and 3.5 tons of tobacco were found there. the illegal enterprise was closed. and in kyiv, two more stations of the blue branch metro will be closed for repairs, we are talking about pochayno and taras shevchenko. dmytro pinchuk, deputy head of the capital metro, told about it. according to him, the tunnel in this area needs major reconstruction. let me remind you that on december 8

, the city authorities blocked traffic at six stations of the blue line of the inter-libyan and demiivska due to depressurization of the tunnel and flooding of tracks. by. according to preliminary estimates , the repair will last six months. a separate intelligence brigade of the black forest needs repair of special vehicles. a faulty car at the front can cost health or even life. when performing combat tasks, the transport has an important function, but it quickly breaks down and requires timely repair. people hold on, but technology cannot. we ask you to join the collection of uah 100,000 in order to... return the special vehicles to working condition and continue the work on adjusting the fire artillery together with you, we have already collected more than uah 20,000. you can pay using the details you see on the screen. that's all i have, i'll see you at

a problem exists along the entire front line. tarnavskyi added that the lack of artillery shells is a very big problem, and the reduction of foreign military assistance is felt on the battlefield, and this means, dear tv viewers, that we should help our fighters more actively. yes, and today we remind you once again about the assembly stations of velstrum and solar panels for the 108th dnipropetrovsk separate brigade of the territorial defense forces of the armed forces of ukraine. our goal is to collect uah 1,220,000 and we want to close this collection as soon as possible, because we understand that this station is already needed for yesterday, and you and i need to collect a large part of everything that needs to be purchased, so uah 878,000 we already purchased were able to collect and we want you to help us collect the entire amount and purchase this station. solar panels, because not always in field conditions our armed forces have the opportunity to have access to energy, to

electricity, and precisely such stations help them to have it in field conditions, so please, i ask you to join, through the qr code in monobank, you can make your donation, or with the help of a bank card, if that is more convenient for you, then please join, especially since there is already a week left until christmas, we we all look forward to the holidays and we understand that these holidays are possible only thanks to because there are people who are now on the frontlines keeping us and you safe, and it's thanks to them that we have the opportunity to be in this studio, in particular also, so please join in, and we're actually trying to encourage all of you to do it is regular, yes, thank you marta, well, if you have the opportunity, dear tv viewers, then a hryvnia, a second, a hundred, 200 hryvnias, then pass it over and let’s help our soldiers, we are now adding to our marathon valery ryabikh, a military expert, director... of the development of the defense express information and consulting agency. glory to ukraine, mr. valery, we congratulate

you. glory to the heroes, congratulations studio, congratulations, dear viewers. alarm signal from general tarnavskyi. so, i quote: there is a problem with ammunition, especially post-soviet shells, these are 122, 152 mm, and today such a problem exists along the entire front line. those volumes, quoting the achaternavska team, which we have today, are not enough for us, taking into account our needs. therefore, we try to redistribute, we reschedule the tasks before us put and reduce them, because we need appropriate support, we understand that , first of all, tarnavskyi's signal is a signal to our western partners and friends, but on the other hand, the rescheduling of military operations due to a lack of ammunition is also extremely serious, you have my word, mr. valery, of course, the military always evaluates the situation first... both from the enemy's capabilities and, of course, from their own, and precisely the operations that are being carried out

are planned based on the assessment of this situation and state from those data, that the commanders have, and when, well, we see that the resources for carrying out, for example, offensive tasks do not allow them to be carried out, then these operations must be replanned. and relying already on real opportunities, and here, of course, the ukrainian military is signaling that what is currently happening is happening primarily because our partners were unable to fulfill, take on their obligations, and whoever as he did not say, did not, let's say, emphasized the fact that the armed forces cannot fulfill the tasks they hoped for there, in that including our partners, then... first of all , everything here depends on timely

delivery, and of course, if the supply of these munitions, at least the commitments that were made, well, first of all, we can talk about european countries , who promised to deliver ammunition in the amount of 1 million shells, are currently doing so. this task is only partially, by about 60%, so of course it will affect what will happen on the fronts and... here , let's say, the measures carried out by the military command, in particular with the introduction certain corrections to military operations carried out on the battlefield, they will be aimed precisely at solving such a double task, that is, ensuring, let's say,

the most favorable conditions for the performance of the available forces and means... those tasks that can be performed, performed in the conditions the lack of ammunition, the prevention of, let's say, the execution of tasks by the enemy, and, of course, the maximum reduction of the possibility of losing one's troops, and of course, whether this will affect the nature of the actions that will take place on the field by the way, valery, well, i would also like to ask about the arrival of polish self-propelled rak mortars in ukraine, so we understand that their number is rather limited, but they arrived anyway, tell me, please, what they imagine and here are the mounted mortars of iraq, how serious is this weapon, how can it be with ammunition and in general, how promising is this story

for production, for example, within the borders of ukraine, this is a very good system. and developed in poland, and accordingly it was developed, in particular, taking into account the needs that exist on the modern battlefield, in particular, precisely to meet the needs of line troops, mechanized units, and precisely to increase the mobility, maneuverability and firepower of troops and... well, what we got is exactly one week ago, it was reported on the website of the 44th separate mechanized brigade that units of this brigade already operate a certain number of similar systems, and here it should be noted that

this significantly increases the capabilities of the ukrainian military on the line. the front in particular, it ensures the safety of the servicemen themselves, and increases the ability to destroy the enemy, because now the servicemen can fire from a 120-mm mortar, covering themselves with armor, can quickly maneuver to quickly take up firing positions, and... technologically these mortars allow you to take up a position there within 30 seconds and deliver a devastating blow to the enemy within a minute and a half, and by delivering, say , targeted strikes at a distance of up to 12 km and

within 20 seconds, take off and move to another position. in order not to become a victim of counter-battery fighting, because these mortars, they are mounted on the rosomak 6i, and it is precisely that 6i, an armored personnel carrier, which is a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, which is manufactured in poland under the license of the finnish company patria, and it is equipped with very good. engine, which allows you to quickly overcome all obstacles, and to develop a speed of up to 80 km, the mortar itself has a supply of ammunition, which is significant for 4.5 dozen mortar mines, and here it should be noted that precisely the 44th a separate mechanized brigade became the first in

service, which these mortars became, and here, let's say, they are in action. together with polish armored personnel carriers, and in general, this brigade , as far as we can judge from open sources , underwent all the training on the territory of poland, mr. valery, but we would also like to ask you about the so-called kamikaze drones, which are called the answer to the iranian shaheds, the armed forces received to arm a batch of such kamikaze drones, what is known about them and to what extent it can be ... be like this, i would say serial history, so that we can either arrange their supply in large quantities, or, for example, arrange production in-house, well, here we can... rely on the message of the manufacturer's company itself, this is the terminal autonomy company, or it used to be like this startup oneway aerospace,

and, as far as we can judge from the report, similar unmanned strike systems, which, by the way, have already been dubbed by the western media as the ukrainians' answer to the bracket. iranian martyrs, which russian terrorists use to terrorize civilians population in ukraine, and this may indeed be the case, because it will be a good response to the task of strikes on the territory of the russian federation, and here it should be noted that all the strikes that are carried out in the country of the aggressors, they are carried out specifically for military purposes, objects that... the russian federation uses in the commission of crimes of military aggression against ukraine, and for this, this very

tool will be very appropriate, because it can fly at a distance of up to 750 km, carrying a combat load of 26 kg, at the same time companies the developer is told that it is the load can be increased due to, say, reducing the radius of action of this drone, and in principle, from what is known, this drone is already competitive, let's say with the same shaheed, because it costs less and in general the price of a simpler version at $15,000. and taking into account the fact that additional options will be installed there, which will make it, er, such that it can pass through

enemy rap facilities everywhere, and have other useful properties, then the cost will increase to 30,000, and at the same time in the company the developer they say that it is even possible to use a swarm of such a drone, a combination of a cheap and an expensive drone, which can ... be such a master drone that can lead nine cheaper drones, control them and lead to targets on the territory of the russian federation and causing damage already with such a massive attack by a swarm of strike drones, so , let's say, and the pace that the developer company is talking about will be encouraging, because now it is known that the first contract provides for the production of 50 of them. per month, somewhere before the beginning of the second quarter, they promise to increase ten production of these drones is up to 500

per month and the companies are not stopping and want to achieve in a short period of time the production of up to a thousand such drones per month and this is palerium . we have one more minute with you, but i would really like to clarify with you. has a technological base and specialists. to resume production of medium- and short-range ballistic missiles in a short period of time, does this mean that they really have such capabilities and that they will intensify the firing of such types of missiles? well, see if there are any possibilities, they exist, because the enemy made similar, let’s say attempts to manufacture similar means, these are medium-range missiles, but it should be noted that at a certain stage, let ’s say... the enemy refused to manufacture these missiles, because this, in addition , due to the limited resources that

the enemy has, and for example, the same complex that the aggressors rs-26 rubizh developed in the state, and even conducted several tests. they abandoned the production of this complex in favor of the same cruise missiles of the iskander complex, which also falls under, let's say, the violation of the treaty on the inf treaty, which, unfortunately, is no longer in force, but here it should be noted that their statements, let's say, can also be such a bluff, because currently... technological capabilities of the russian federation compared to the same 2017-18 year, when they refused to continue

the program. rs-26 finds that they did not increase, but only decreased, and in addition, it should be remembered that exactly, let's say, the fall of the soviet union, it is also somehow connected with those crazy the economic costs incurred by the soviet union for the production of a large number of precisely these medium and short -range ballistic missiles, and which... buried the very economy of the soviet union, well, in addition, it should be assessed that this is primarily an attempt to pressure to the european union, especially here i do not rule out that even against the background of the adoption of the latter's decision on ukraine and the prospects for our country's accession, and this is a direct threat of nuclear, let's say, nuclear escalation for europe in the first place, thank you
