russia will deliver devastating blows. another area of ​​assistance is the physical protection of critical infrastructure. this, in particular, is taken care of by the state agency for reconstruction and development of infrastructure. the agency assures that , together with ukrenergo, they have developed a three-level system of protection of energy facilities, gabions and big bags, special structures filled with loose materials are supposed to protect against drone and rocket fragments, and concrete structures against the explosion of shaheds. the third level is protection against direct fire. removing the missile, the americans provide special protective equipment, including grids and fittings. how effective it will be will become clear in the near future. the morning attack on december 8 may indicate the beginning of russia's winter campaign to destroy the ukrainian energy system. the relatively small number of missiles, some of which, according to defense express, lacked a real warhead, supports the version that the invaders are still only probing ukrainian air defense. if the rocket hits.

moreover, the street will have a serious minus of returning to emergency shutdowns - a very real scenario, experts say. the ministry of energy has already prepared the corresponding schedules. during the day, powerful explosions rang out in the temporarily occupied ilovatsk in donetsk region. the city was engulfed in thick black smoke, a fire broke out, - the adviser to the mayor of mariupol, petro andryushchenko, and local publics reported. in advance, there is a hit in the composition of fuel and lubricant materials of the russian invaders. the russians attacked with rockets.

sat out and received military salaries. the extras did not show up for military service for almost a year, but they received financial support from the unit. in august 2023. of this year, all four were notified of the suspicion of evading military service duties, which had been committed by a group of persons according to a prior conspiracy. currently , the suspicion under the same articles has been reported to a high-ranking official of the kmva, who contributed to the registration of the july business trip. the sanction of the articles provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for a term of up to 10 years. fortification of ukraine's borders with belarus continues. engineering groups of the state border service. despite the weather, fortifications are being built there non-stop , said andrii demchenko, the spokesman of the service. the military equips trenches, shelters and firing positions, and also installs a barrier fence with barbed wire local

residents of the border regions voluntarily join the strengthening of the state border. despite the fact that we are on the very border, none of the residents of our community were afraid and everyone came to the defense of our community and our state as a whole. everyone is doing something, we help, it's hard for the guys there in the trenches, so we also try to join in helping people. currently, the state border service does not observe a formed group on the other side of the border, which was ready to carry out a second attack. it is also not noted and non-standard situations along the state border, the situation remains fully under control, but given that belarus continues to support russia, we must be ready for any... situation and the border guard orders are not cancelled. eight iraqi citizens were detained in lviv region. they tried to come to europe illegally, the state border service reports. foreigners came to ukraine legally, but decided to enter the european union outside the checkpoints. the law enforcement officers discovered

vehicles, including pickups and suvs, which are subject to disposal due to non-compliance with environmental requirements, may be sent for the needs of the armed forces of ukraine. the official was against such an initiative, as it violates the legal requirements of the environmental program. however, after a campaign in zmi and numerous appeals, khan changed his mind. thanks to the negotiations with the polish government, it was possible to suspend the blocking of the shigina medici checkpoint. this was announced by the vice minister of the ministry of agrarian policy, michal kolodzejczak, on the network. the government personally went to the protesters to convince them to stop the protest. after the new we sit down at the table to work out what is expected together decision, - wrote kolodzejchak. let me remind you that polish transporters blocked the movement of ukrainian trucks on november 6. they are protesting against the simplified working conditions of ukrainian drivers on the european market. later, polish farmers joined them.

a separate brigade of artillery reconnaissance black forest needs repair of special vehicles. a faulty car at the front can cost health or even life. when performing combat tasks. transport has an important function, but quickly breaks down and needs timely repairs. people hold on, but they don't the technique withstands. 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 artillery fire. we have only 1500 hryvnias left to collect. let's give our defenders a christmas present, you can donate using the details you see on the screen. greetings, this is the saturday political club, my name is khrystyna yatskiv, and in the first hour of our

program we will talk with guests, expert opinions, who are definitely worth your attention, and in the 2nd hour, i promise you that, vitaly portnikov will join us. which will try to answer the questions that most concern ukraine and ukrainians. well, at the beginning of a short announcement, we will talk about the security situation in the country. i will remind you that force. defenses this week fought against raids by enemy uavs, unfortunately, without victims and victims, as always. the ukrainian capital also felt a massive attack, and not even one, and meanwhile the ukrainian military-political leadership is discussing the need for and a change in the rules, probably mobilization, since the mobilization resource is what... now you need to bet, because this is exactly what the russian federation is doing. let's also talk about

the situation in the south, is it adjusted according to the fact that the defense forces destroyed at least three enemy fighters, just yesterday? ivan stupak, a military expert, an employee of the security service of ukraine from 2004 to 2015, is in touch with us. mr. ivan, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine. greetings, greetings studio. thanks for the invitation, glory to the heroes. let's start with at least short patterns situation this week on the fronts. we understand that the kupyan direction is senkivka, but still without any success at all for the enemy. we understand the difficulty of the situation in avdiivska , avdiivka and the stepovoye region. well, in addition, of course, many dramatic events unfold around bakhmut. meanwhile, in the south of our country, it can be easier for the marines. on the left bank, at least they are already talking about it on the military portal, and actually

the air force command and yuriy ignat are talking about it, how do you see the development of the situation on fronts now, what are the dynamics? well, look, the russians are pressing in the east, here is the east, here they are pressing everywhere, wherever possible, it is difficult to distinguish something there, there is less here, there is more, there are such places. where and the locations and the period, when the russians suppressed, took some position , then we managed to repulse it, that is , combat work is taking place, but you correctly noted about the south, about the kherson region, i am sure that this is the destruction of three, not one , not two, but three planes, su-34, these are two-seater bombers, by the way, literally in in november, the russians boasted that on... our boys received a new batch of su-34, well , it is very likely that this new batch was

destroyed by our blocking patriots in the south of the kherson region on the left bank. in principle, this destruction has a really strong effect. i see how it psychologically affected the soldiers, they are just in despair, they are just gnashing their teeth, saying that we bombed you, are bombing you and will bomb you for our boys, for our boys, that's all. i'm sure... will be at least the closest sometimes another such, another such shooting , another such ambush, where you can destroy from one, well, at least one plane, and i think this affects even more the psychological ability of russian pilots to do these tasks, because there were reports that until the last moment, they refused to fly, bomb, because it was not known what kind of danger you would catch from the ukrainians, there are three planes here and you can't get into it. therefore, i think an additional hit and this will once again affect the psychology plus the position of our

military, who will not be fired upon by these big bombs dropped by these planes. well, ukraine is preparing to host the first at 4 p.m., such cautious messages began to appear already this week, and we understand that this may become a critical moment, and it will become twice as critical if we are at the same time with we are carrying a certain weight-specific number of enemy fighters, there is information, in particular it was voiced by the spokesman of the ukrainian volunteer army south, serhiy brachuk, that in crimea they may seriously think about the possible relocation of at least their air centers forces, how likely is this and do we already see similar processes? well, look. in principle, it is probable, well, if you think about it, it is probable, incredible, yes, it is probable, but

someone has to do this combat work, someone has to support russian advance somewhere, russian defense somewhere, aviation should do this if it hides somewhere together with the black sea fleet, i don't know somewhere in novorossiya, so what's the point of it at all, if it will be very far away from the front line, then it's more pala they have to eat, huh. it's more the resource of aviation equipment, it wears out, and by the way, we have not recently had the destruction of russian k-52 helicopters precisely with the help of the patriots, i think that is the closest. sometimes you can expect the destruction of this type of aviation equipment at the front, they really bothered us in the zaporizhzhia direction, where they simply hover over the positions of their troops and at a distance of 7-8 km fire at our leopards, our bradleys, our troops and

gave us big losses, i.e. once again patriot has a range of 160 km, i think he can handle a helicopter. to see from a safe distance, and the last thing i will tell you, besides the fact that the russians are angry about these punctures, they directly say that we need to look for places where patriots are located, how they move, we need to strengthen our agents, our presence on the territory of ukraine , we need to know where it's being moved, where it's being stored, the crews, the staff, that's what they 're hoping for very, very much right now. their agency is on the territory of ukraine, actually this week we are found out that there was an attempt to listen in on the premises in which he was supposed to work in the near future, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine and his team, valery zaluzhnyi,

caught all these bugs in time, and security experts for... , if not some kind of moles, then purely technically , only the security service of ukraine could set up a wiretap, although on the other hand, it is currently investigating this incident, what happened in your opinion, well, let's go, well, not only the security service, well, come on, okay , yes technically, they have such skills, they have such specialists, but the same specialists are also in the national police and in the sbi, and in the national anti-corruption bureau, so... please, the main intelligence agency also has such capabilities, too there are technicians who can install and also find such devices, so here we need to find out, they could install it, as the garlic says there, yes, the people you hired are such conditional private detectives who took them out and paid there big money, they bet,

maybe they didn't know where to bet, well, one more time this is only an assumption, we do not know for sure what happened, what kind of equipment was there, what model was it? was factory-made, if it was factory-made, then whether it was made by him, whether there were any markings indicating a state institution that once purchased them with budget funds, or whether they were some kind of self-propelled devices that were assembled by some craftsman, yes, he has his hands in the right place places are growing, he collected, sold there i don't know for 500-600 for 100 dollars, he is no longer interested in who will buy it, mr. ivan, information appeared, in particular. in the wall street journal that the assassination of prigozhin was organized by mr. patrushev, the secretary of the security council of the russian federation, and at the same time the ex-head of the fsb of the russian federation, the hero of the russian federation, who was concerned about the strengthening of the political weight of the handsome character. about

patrushev, what is unknown in official circles, and why. they just don't say in the under-the-carpet, let's say, behind-the-scenes backbiting, why prigozhin was to be eliminated in particular to patrusheva and whether he really was, or could he really be, the ideological inspirer of this murder. see vatrushikh is putin's confidant, he is a person whom putin trusts, he has known him for 20 plus years, maybe even more since he worked in the leningrad kgb. they are familiar with each other, they worked together, worked for a long time, and you have to understand how putin gives instructions, he does not give instructions to kill this one or to kill that one, to kill that one, he puts it very lightly, he says, well, there is a problem here, of course, i heard you, but it has to be solved somehow, and this is in classic soviet

cinema, you are entrusted with this matter, you are engaged in and then he waits, how correct... the person understood, heard, felt his intonation, and what exactly did he then do, that is, the person, i am sure i saw that he left the office, he did not have a clear order, not that in writing, he he didn’t even have verbally, he was told: deal with this problem, and he began to deal with it, he is a kind of decision-making center, a dispatcher of the task, yes , he is such a dispatcher, he was given such a conditional instruction to himself, he interpreted it and then entrusted it, my great conviction , that there were no explosives, as writes the wall street journal, and... in the cabin under the wing, in which cabin, under which wing , it was a small jet, it was an embraer, you can see it lengthwise across, it's such a small bird, i'm more than sure that later. .. this instruction was received from patrushev by the minister of defense shaigu, who happily implemented it, instructing his air defense to target this plane, that is, what is the trick

of this scheme, that putin does not give orders to everyone, so you kill that one, you kill that one, he very carefully gives instructions instructions to then he couldn't be prosecuted for ordering to kill someone, he didn't order anyone, and if he did, only one person... who is much easier to destroy, to disappear from history, all the rest will not be able to prove it. mr. ivan, at what stage can this balance be, at least, between the towers of the kremlin, because many people, including ukrainians, expressed certain hopes that the conflict between them could be such an important rubicon, a moment of change, in general positions and in the russian-ukrainian war , there is, there is a conflict, but it is until the end, well, until the present day, it is somehow balanced, somewhere more, somewhere less, then

it tries, well, to hold, somewhere, once again, somewhere it holds, somewhere it lets go , then again takes these levers of the leadership, the security forces, so that they don't bury themselves, so that the kadyrovs don't bury themselves, so that technocrats in the form of kremlin leaders, there anton vainu is the head of the administration. or kiriyenko, the deputy chairman, or i don’t know, there is valettina matviyenko, our compatriot, or there is volodyno, the head of the state duma , so that no one pulls the strings on himself, even though everyone hates each other, and everyone, each of these forces, each of these towers of the kremlin, of course, considers itself to be the important force on which the russian state rests, well, that's all what is called from russia, the security forces believe that it is us, yes, it is ours. it depends on our loyalty, the oligarchs say: "no, no, guys , you don't understand anything, it's on our money, on our company. this includes technocrats, they say: "no, guys, it's just us

we know how to manage, how to translate pieces of paper so that the mechanism spins, moves, that is, there is hatred for each other, but so far everything is balanced, unfortunately, not as we would like it. well, mr. ivan, i can't help but remember that many people are now talking about the need to somehow rationalize the process of demobilization and demobilization in our country, we understand that the indications are that it will take a long time to train, which means that the rules must be somehow , well, unified, understandable for everyone, and you really need to balance everything. we very much hope that the verkhovna rada will work on the voting in the near future, but for now they are working on, well, such a base, which allows us to look a little into the tzuza. in particular, mariyana bezugla, who notes that all the wishes of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces valery zaluzhny have been taken into account, and taking

this into account, we will edit further, and as for valery zaluzhny himself, he notes that everything needs to be returned to the way it was before, and the actual mobilization processes, however they happen, with whatever nuances, they led to the fact that the army... was replenished. some events of recent months, unfortunately, undermined these natural processes. how do you see a way out of the situation with the mobilization of the ukrainian army, which may not be very comfortable for everyone now? well, look, it ’s only comprehensive, well, there shouldn’t be such big exceptions, not that which was overdone, but once again, what caused the mobilization, borisov’s army, and it’s such a... borysov’s army, that is, people who are under during the war, they seem to be in the army, but they are not at the front, but in theirs, their fortunes simply increased in

geometric progression, there above the cathedral, it is simply incredible, several luxury suvs, real estate abroad, then the rest of the military commissars were detained, but they were not as bright as the odessa military commissar borisov, dniprov was detained. found at home , it had a really bad, very negative effect, people saw that it was possible to buy off, and there the numbers were called, $400, there $10,000, $15,000, i even heard depending on the financial capacity of a person and concluding the urgency that they was necessary, this really affected, people understood that it is unfair, yes there is no money, go fight , there is money, you can buy yourself something, buy a disability, there should be justice, i would like to see it, but... once again, this is a big, big business, it is wrong to say that business is a field in which there is demand and supply, if there is a demand to avoid

war, then there will be. suggestion, what can be done? well, look, you said that the story with borisov on parole and the increase in his fortune undermined the mobilization, was n’t it the populist decision that undermined the mobilization - to actually remove all the military commissars from their seats, i understand that this is such a sweet niche in which it is very difficult to resist the temptation and not make a profit, but nevertheless we now have... that we have and we have an almost disrupted mobilization. by the way, i would like to remind you that very often we rely on stereotypical thinking and generalize tumatch, as they say, and i cannot help but recall in this context the investigation and in fact the exposure of a huge number of bots in social networks, which dispersed corruption in crazy scale, especially among ukrainian officials. here you can mention the ex-minister of defense and so on. as

discovered. this is all russian ipsoha, completely paid for, but which collected millions, millions of views and likes in the same tiktok, to the extent that we ourselves are still not able to trust our own institutions, instead of cleaning up point-wise negative destructive elements, we are undermining the entire system, well, look, the system must be upgraded without a doubt, i agree that it may not be worth it. it would be easy to cut all the military commissars, not all of them were corrupt, there were those who did their own thing the case is correct, who did not profit from this, but they were simply equated with that generalized borisov and sent, well , removed from their position and where they were sent, replaced by someone else, i believe that it should not have been done that way, if there are complaints against individual people, the sbu works, the sbu works, works for no, the sbu works, and the sbu works, if there is...

the need to adapt the system, there is the verkhovna rada, which can make the necessary decisions there, there is a minister of defense who can see the system as a whole what she looks like look at which wheel is extra, yes, or which wheel does not turn, replace it, increase it, decrease it, well, this is still very, very general eyes i say, but you have to approach the problem like this, just remove all people and appoint them in their place absolutely new ones, well, it doesn't work, we already saw in... the verkhovna rada, you remember, everyone must be new, okay, all new ones came, well, not all, but there are a large number of new people's deputies, but the conceptual quality of the verkhovna rada has not changed, even it has become much worse, professionally, morally, because people started taking money on such a scale that it was even embarrassing for them, thank you, mr. ivan, for including ivan stupak, military expert, employee of the security service of ukraine from 2004 to

2015. joined the saturday political club , now a short pause, after which we will have a conversation with volodymyr ogrysk, a diplomat, the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, in 2007 to the 9th year and the head of the russian research center, and i will remind you that vitaly portnikov will join the conversation about the most important , already in the second part of the program, after 20:00 be sure to wait. problems with the frontal joints limit movement, it is unpleasant and painful. strengthen them with the help of long joints. these are bags with collagen and vitamin c to restore articular cartilage. arthritis contributes to the normal functioning of joints and has a positive effect on bone health. dolgit joints facilitates motor functions. stretch your joints, move freely. i flew, flew, the cough stopped me. cough -

symptoms. the spirit of christmas will definitely come to your city. picardy tertia to good people for health. live sound. do ordinary things become unreal? heavy bags are not for...
