tell us what happened, how it was, and simply, well, how did they react, for example, to what extent are all the relevant authorities, the ukrainian authorities, maybe international organizations are reacting because they have to there must be publicity, and there must, must be consequences for the perpetrators as well, because it simply does not fit in the head, i will tell you this way that... then i will speak my opinion as it is, from the moment we were occupied, immediately, let's put it this way, then we only heard from the authorities, leave, evacuate, and do everything on your own, transporters , there are those, until now, there are those who take people out for free, but there are very few of them, and there are those who just do it earns money, i know what i'm talking about, because i myself... paid 350 dollars for

a person and for a daughter-in-law for my own and 250 dollars for my grandson, to leave kalenchak two months ago, and i know how difficult it is for people to leave, because for two, almost two years in a row, people have survived there, i know what i'm talking about, such tragedies as happened to this boy. .. we are in a state of shock here, although we know many such stories, but to kill a child just because he was there with a phone in his hands and taking pictures, he is hardly russian, i think that he just happened, even can't apply here under a hot hand, but just caught my eye, yes. yes, that's it, that's it

in fact, i know for a hundred percent that there will be a lot of such stories when the left bank is liberated, because because there is the largest torture chamber in radensk, because people, because people are taken away simply because, as you remember, crimea was blue , yellow color, only then, then there was no, there were no such repressions as now here, because... he sees that ukraine did not expect them, does not expect them, and that people there are also waiting for liberation, and about international publicity, yes here, i have always had a question from the very beginning, why we do not have a state programs, since carriers can call on the left bank, so i am not saying that under the flag of ukraine, but you must organize the free departure of people and...

those carriers and pay them money and have people taken out for free, it is not easy there now genocide, this is genocide - this is the definition, and they just kill people there. they are torturing people, people are already starving there, it is good that there are some churches there, and god bless you, who are not afraid, who drive the most under fire from the pillboxes, but they bring people food, but they they go once a month, it’s almost impossible to buy anything, it’s very difficult to get groceries, i ’m talking about living in small towns, maybe more or less, i just know about villages, and that’s it... cases will unfortunately be more and more frequent, and although would organize the removal of those with children, because they are the ones who have not left, they cannot leave for, in my opinion, two reasons, one reason is that they simply know that they will be on the lists in russia and they will be immediately

arrested, that is, people are hiding, and the second reason is that there is no money, and this is such a dead end, well, ugh, ms. oksano, tell me please, just this... which was voiced by the head of ova, oleksandr prokudin, but he said that it was on december 20, that is, two days ago, in one of the settlements, we do not know which one, there are a little details about that in fact the shooting took place when the soldiers brought him to his parents, shot him in front of his parents, his mother even tried to hang herself and was saved from the noose, but in this case it is very important that... sooner or later, if we even establish ranks , faces, names and locations of these fascists russian bastards after buchi, then there should be publicity with exact coordinates, because i think sooner or later we will also find out who directly shot the child in front of

the parents? one hundred percent, and this should be publicized to the whole world, we read so in telegram channels, god forbid it was announced on television. we are local here, and diplomacy doesn't work here, unfortunately, not at all, no diplomacy, no, i don't know , i can't say about our authorities that they are specialists and that they generally do everything to liberate people in order to , in order to to spread the word about what is happening here in ukraine , here they are coming to us now, a philanthropist who helps us has just left from kherson, well , a philanthropist, they are collecting money in germany, and they, he came... yes, he took pictures, he says: i i want to talk in germany about what is happening now in kherson, about what is happening in ukraine, because people have forgotten that war, so it should not only be done by ordinary people in germany, in ukraine, but it should be brought to the state level, to the highest level, not this

blah blah, what is being done, ms. oksano, no i like it, the occupation authorities are communicating about this story, about this brutal... well , they mentioned it, but they are silent, on the contrary, they are on the contrary in other similar cases, which you are going to build something about, that is , in principle, this is a policy of keeping silent, not say, shut up, shut your mouth, especially since it is easy to shut your mouth there, they have machine guns, our people don't have machine guns, and that's it... uh, the occupying power, they say that everything is fine, that everything is fine, they are preparing they are preparing for the elections, er, putin's re-election, er to hold elections on the left bank, eh, and they will succeed, in principle, the lists were written, signed, i just know a case when there

was a referendum, we were still under occupation, then the transporter traveled there alone between the villages on the route, he drove six times a day. there and back through the checkpoint, six times they forced him to vote, then they will succeed one hundred percent, and such cases, they do not tell about it, that you are doing well with the occupation authorities, ms. oksano, we touched on this topic a little bit, regarding the possibility departure, or do the residents of the left bank, the temporarily occupied territories have the opportunity to get out of there to the right bank, to other territories in... ukrainians controlled by kyiv, not through the territory of russia and other states, but by some other means, is there, is there such a physical possibility? no, there is no such possibility, only through, they go, take to the crimea, and then through the roads through guinea, why to the crimea

, i don’t even know, first to the crimea, probably to undergo some kind of filtering there, as they call it, then they take through mariupol through russia and or to lithuania, latvia and poland, or in the sumy region there is a green corridor and in my opinion. somewhere else in the kharkiv region , people there walk 2 km, not all of them make it because there are elderly people, well, for example, i cannot take my relative, who is very close, because she simply will not make it that way, and she sits and waits and waits for liberation on the left bank, and the russian-fascist occupiers, on the contrary, launched another information campaign, i even read... theses, as they say, this campaign is called "let's return to kherson", but really, are you

heard something about it, actually, well, our military , of course, already commented on it, about the high right bank and how the armed forces of ukraine holds this liberated territory, but just how they react to this company in kherson itself, let's go back to kherson. me, they are waiting for the dnipro to freeze, well, they will wait a long time, the last time the dnipro froze, i remember, i was 6 years old, and now i am 10 times older, so they are waiting, well, dmytro, the dnipro will freeze, so they will come here in tanks, and this is such an informational thing campaign, the people of kherson laugh at it, simply because this option is one hundred percent impossible, the right bank, that's how you are. this will also get in the way, plus ours are still on the left bank, if

it weren’t difficult, i won’t talk about the bridgehead, because this, this is the parish of the greens, it’s actually very difficult, and even after flooding, you can’t dig in there, because the water on two bayonets, but ours are holding, and ours are slowly moving forward, and at first, i will tell you honestly, i was afraid that the russians would return, because i understood that then... then i would definitely to me and our patriots, but we also don't want to abandon our city, because we understand that then the city will die, but then we somehow calmed down, we communicate with the military every day, they don't have all the propalnychestva , there are different military, but they will gnaw the ground with their teeth, and thank god. that is so, and thank god that we have the armed forces, that is why the mood in kherson is such, well, we are not even thinking about it

now, we, we are absolutely sure that they will not return, but their information campaign, it is for their own, i i think so, for my own sake russians, to say, well, this is temporary , soon kherson will be ours, again this novorossia, again this republic, i hope that this will never happen again, mrs. oksana, let us agree with you, only a light thin ice with at least a crust appears on the dnieper, you call us and we will tell you that there is such a strong summer, let them go in small groups, because the fish in the dnieper should have fun swimming at the bottom between all kinds of pipes, barrels and everything else, let's do it such an information campaign for russia, agreed ms. oksana, thank you, hold on and despite everything... the approaching holidays have a peaceful christmas, we wish you, oksana

forces of ukraine . we await the first panic messages with such joy. in the russian telegram channels and on the first ones, well, they once again cross the red line there, once again wave their fists, that they will perceive the airfields of nato countries, which will have f-16s, for example, to be based, if god forbid, then they will bomb these airfields, well , well, okay, that is, it is from the same area that we just told you about, let's go back to kherson, yes, well, well, now we know that we have it in the north-eastern borders of ukraine, where the front line and many other things are. is happening, therefore kharkiv region. oleksandr skoryk, deputy of the kharkiv regional council, joins our broadcast. glory to ukraine, mr. oleksandr. glory to the heroes, good morning. mr. oleksandr, where they beat, where they shot, like the end of the day looks like you know, the last day looks practically calm, there was no anxiety at night, and traditionally, when i comment

for the espresso channel, we have a good night and... i think this is a sign to them, we need as much as possible, as much as possible to go on air to announce good news for the people of kharkiv and for ukrainians that the night passed without air alarms, we are always happy and always invite, mr. oleksandr, regarding the front, please tell me, senkivka, this is how they continue to try to capture it , they came up with a deadline of december 31 to january 1, as it were now? well, you know that the russians have always been engaged in their symbolism, regarding dates, birthdays there, new year's holidays there. and so on and so forth, yes, just like the situation in the kupyan-lyman direction, it has been difficult for a long time, because our military is constantly

engaged in tactical combat operations, and this day has not passed without combat operations either, they are constantly they are trying to storm, but the situation is calm, according to the words of the military, we control and repel all their forces there. assault actions and counterattacks, also very, very powerful and constant aircraft fly in them, with guided aerial bombs, shells, and they, they constantly, because of this kharkiv region is in a state of alarm, and they hit the line, the front line, we also constantly have shelling. along the state border , in almost all populated areas, where , by the way, fortifications are being actively built , we see this all the time,

we have cars moving on roads with wood, with the so-called dragon's teeth, and we have fortifications, we are building them all over the territory of the kharkiv region, but is the concrete visible? if you watch them drive, you build fortifications, then it is important that the concrete mixers drive, because you need to fill everything well with concrete to make a good line. you know, what i see is, as a person who knows a little about construction, then he goes, he goes what is needed, and as it is needed, uh, and powerful fortifications are built , i believe that they should, by the way, have been built until february 20... 4, but we have what we have today, it is for the residents of the region and for the residents of the city, this is a sign that we understand that the enemy

will not attack us anywhere, because we live in an area on the border with the russian federation, and in addition, in addition to the fact that we must constantly build defense lines and understand that sooner or later these orcs they can follow us to us with their dirty... plans , we have nothing left, we have to do it, we have been, i think, since the 14th year, but we have what we have, today we, we, we are building, we , we are strengthening the fortifications, and we are doing everything so that the enemy has no chance in the future to in any way disturb kharkiv, the kharkiv region, it is also important that the locals, who are fascinated by all these processes, do not take unnecessary photos somewhere, do not post them on... the network, so as not to do russians a favor in that way, so that they do not know where what and how it might look. mr. oleksandr, the question regarding the reconstruction

of kharkiv region, we understand that it is not the right time , maybe some such talk about a large-scale, total restoration of the country, now that the front is in great need of both funding and our attention, but everyday life, some such things, how to rebuild there the wall in... whether to change the window is important, how is the recovery going in the kharkiv region, in kharkiv, in the kharkiv region, we see about 900 applications already validated for the townspeople, that is , for kharkiv, how does the situation look in the region, well, look, today we will have a session of the regional council, where we will take note of the budget for the 24th year, where we considered in detail at the commissions. all the budget processes that take place in the region, it turns out that with reconstruction there is not much, not much, we have the possibility of reconstruction, because the law 10037 on

the withdrawal of personal income tax of the military from local budgets caused losses to the regional budget 1 billion 300 million, and this figure is included in the general budget of all levels of the kharkiv region. almost 6 billion hryvnias 5963 was stolen there, if i 'm not mistaken, er, of course, with such a withdrawal, well, for example , 40, almost 40% was withdrawn from the regional budget, so today there is no development, there is no question, because today, we have current expenses, well, for example , expenses for the theater for... we allocate 100 million to help our theaters in kharkiv, kharkiv region, almost every year . this year, we simply cannot physically

allocate these funds. we will allocate twice as much less than 50 million, because as far as civilian civilian housing objects are concerned, such a program, such a program works, but financing is very complicated, and with regard to the restoration of infrastructure facilities in the otg and the arrangement of the regional council, we constantly we see that this or that atg... holds a tender there, well, for example, there for the construction or repair of a school, there for the construction or repair of the facade of some building, but today they have practically no funds, because all the funds have been withdrawn for the needs of the military , for by law 10037, the financial situation in the region today is very, very difficult, and there are no financial resources for its reconstruction...

there are practically no, well, i actually wanted to ask you more, but there are certain ones, well, no, i don’t have to tell you, but there are certain ones districts of kharkiv that received the most hits, that is the extreme one, even, if you mention the rocket one, i am talking about salttivka, and the depot there was destroyed, er, or the suburbs of the same kupinsk, as it looks in practice, that is, how destroyed it was shelled tsaltikova kharkivska or prigorody in i have already mentioned kupyanska. well, it looks terrible, because when we drive, for example, along the ring road, the road and we see the end of the city of kharkiv, namely northern saltivka, it looks simply terrible, so there we see that there are construction cranes, we see that they are doing something , they are dismantling, there are windows, some are blocked, some have already started to be replaced,

but it looks like... such a village, where it is clear that there were intense hostilities, where it is almost impossible, almost impossible, to restore it to the military scale, because the amount of destruction it just goes off the scale, it simply catastrophic, but as for kupyansk , for example, there is shelling there every day , and in addition to the destruction that is there today, they are added every day... there, it is practically, practically impossible to live there, in constant anxiety, in constantly under the constant aim of guided aerial bombs, under the constant aim of artillery, it looks terrible, and you know, it is not impossible to convey it there on television, and it is necessary to see and feel that your city, your

country is being destroyed. uh, they're trying to capture you, uh, your territory, it is like that, you know, very , very, very hard for the heart for everyone, and a kharkiv resident, for every resident of ukraine, half a minute, literally, mr. oleksandr, half a minute remains, just an answer, what are your moods and in general people of kharkiv regarding reconstruction, because we spoke yesterday with the people of don, they say that even these leveled cities of donetsk will be rebuilt like this after the war, but... what are your thoughts? we, you know, how the people of kharkiv love their city, they, for them, the city is theirs, it is the most precious thing they have, in my opinion, we are in a great mood, we are cooking jelly and will celebrate christmas, and the city of kharkiv, as it was before, after restoration will look like the best city in ukraine, so the mood is only positive, only to rebuild,

only to win and live in peace'. independent ukraine in free kharkiv. mr. oleksandr, merry christmas to you. oleksandr skoryk, deputy of the kharkiv regional council, was with us. time for news, time for news, because 8 o'clock is approaching, and khrystyna porobiy has already prepared a selection with the news editor the latest, most important information at this time. christina, please share everything you know with us. congratulations, colleagues, thank you, well, there is an explosion in crimea, what happened there, i will tell you in the issue. and also about operational information on the front, don't miss it in a moment. news on air espresso in the studio.
