my duty, the military oath, as they say, no one canceled, and secondly, these are my personal convictions that the enemy cannot be allowed to invade our land. the 33rd rifle battalion was formed in lviv, and now performs tasks in the sumy region, konotop district, as well as in the city of putivl. the situation at the border is tense because... these are daily shelling, danger and the work of enemy drgs. volodymyr's main task in such conditions is educational work and mental support of personnel. in particular, with its help, social issues, support and communication with military families are resolved. such support and help is extremely important, because the war lasts a long time. distance and separation from relatives exhausts people. the most important thing for everyone is to be clear.

that this is a family, maintaining a stable connection with them, it is always clear to a soldier that he is pulling him home, here, but on the other hand, they are also patriots of their native land, they know why they left, for what they left, what are they doing here, one way or another they somehow connect these conditions, well, in these conditions , they connect their lives with that, the man himself. has a son who is waiting for him at home, so he knows firsthand about the pain of separation. volodymyr admits that as a psychologist he passes through the stories and experiences of everyone and emphasizes that the real panacea for the military is the love and understanding of relatives. constantly encourage, raise the mood, let's say this, for wives to always say that... wives

love their husbands very much, children who love, that's why they knock their dad, it's very very influential. for their part, they promise to take care of the festive mood of the soldiers, those who will not be able to visit their homes for the holidays, will definitely receive greetings and taste kutya. we are organizing a holiday, no matter what, it may not be of such a massive, let's say, variety, but the fighters will definitely feel that there is a holiday. that they have kutya, that they will definitely have kutya, kutya in the trenches, well, what else? despite the tense situation at the front, volodymyr bely believes that changes for the better await ukraine in the new year, i hope that our western partners will help our army, i believe, i hope that there will still be progress and the liberation of our territories, somehow... it must still happen, we did not

start this war, this is the truth, and god is with us and the ukrainian people , and he will definitely help him, the ukrainian people have patience in persevering, and what i forgot to say, they definitely need faith in victory, it will be mandatory, and now... next about the most important news as of this hour : went to the store and came under fire, the police evacuated from a wounded man in krasnohorivka, donetsk region. enemy shells hit the store and exploded next to a 60-year-old local resident. he suffered multiple shrapnel injuries. people called the law enforcement officers for rescue, the white yango crew arrived. the police provided emergency medical aid to the victim and brought him to the hospital. the russians are constantly shelling krasnohorivka, that's why the police. call

went to the hospital in his telegram channel, he wrote that he had a stomach ache, and then nausea began, he fainted and ended up in the hospital, but now he is coming to his senses. rbc writes that according to gur. krasovsky's condition is deteriorating. let me remind you that the propagandist has repeatedly called for the genocide of ukrainians and the killing of ukrainian children. homemade kuttia, ukrainian borscht and donuts. people in lviv were treated to such dishes. every year, the community of st. egidius organizes christmas dinners for the homeless, elderly, low-income families, immigrants and people with disabilities. festive snacks were distributed by students from ukraine. of the katoryt university was not without carols and gifts, such events were also held in kyiv and ivano-frankivsk. in total , more than 2,000 needy people were able to feel the atmosphere of the holiday. christmas dinners are held all over the world, in more than 70 countries of the world where

our community is located, and today, for the first time, we are joining on december 25, just in time for christmas. we have already held a christmas holiday for immigrant children from the model town and those, just live here in lviv and we still plan to welcome people in homes for the elderly, i like the way, very nice, nice, the atmosphere is nice here, the people are nice, they are greeted with smiles, so thank god, thank you all, well done, how ukrainians destroyed the empire of evil, with this title oleksandr zinchenko presented his book about the collapse of the soviet union, auto daily events of 1991, also declassified archival documents of the cia and the kgb, which were not available until very recently. the book presents the memories of the participants and witnesses of the acquisition independence the author promises that you will find the answer to the question of who really destroyed

the evil empire. today, we are very dependent on the past, and we are very much in order to understand where we are today. why did the russian federation attack ukraine again, where did all these phantom imperial pains come from, but again we need to reflect very clearly, and how the collapse of the soviet union took place, because a large number of answers precisely in that period, the period of 89, 90, 91 years. the dog, the hero, the petrified police shepherd kate, is recognized as one of the the best service dogs of ukraine. a belgian woman... together with her dog trainer serves in the capital glavka, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, they worked together at the kyiv railway station, conducted searches and searched for explosives during reports of landmines, and also demined the de-occupied territories of the kherson region. kate was trained to work with

sappers, taken to training grounds, where she looked for mines in the closest possible conditions, explosions and shelling did not prevent the dog from doing its job, says the instructor. dogs are selected by character, by behavior, so that not every dog ​​can be a service dog, a dog is the same as an employee of some security service, which performs no less work than a person, and maybe even more important, and where for some work, so that dogs cannot be performed, nothing has yet been invented such as to replace a dog, well, a dog cannot be replaced, just like a cat, the biggest trident of grandfathers in kyiv... they set a new ukrainian record: the height of a christmas decoration is 7 m 41 cm. the structure was created by paratrooper yaroslav kuchma and a 95-year-old craftswoman from straw weaving palagei zhivko. to collect three years ago, the author welded a metal frame by hand and, together with his assistants, welded 334 grandfathers.

two bushels of rye, wheat and barley were spent on this. grandfather can be seen in the museum in pirogovaya in the location of nadnipryanshchyna, after the baptism, the construction... will be brought to the exhibition in lviv, we have new year's traditions, they were traditionally associated with grandfather, not with the christmas tree. grandfather is an object of abundance and security for the coming year, and we have a trident made from grandfathers, the trident symbolizes the victory and freedom of our people, and i think that at such a time it is quite actual. grandma prepared what... grain in the summer, that is, she plucked it by hand with sheaves, that is, she has a certain technology, that is, they must be correctly folded, only wheat is tied, no strings, nothing like that , because this is such a tradition, and grandmother already was prepared, and that's why together, like yaroslav , they already made this trident, well

, i don't know if you have a grandfather at home, but next to me is yuri fizer, and he will talk about what happened in the world , yuri, good evening, i congratulate you, please. i congratulate you, vasyl, i congratulate everyone who is watching us today, there is news, despite the fact that today is a big holiday, i will tell you about the restive serbia, about how russia and china are trying to destabilize the situation. in the united states of america and the journey of santa claus, how many presents he delivered today, about this and other things, in a moment in the world about ukraine section, well, i'll start with this: christ was born, let's praise him, i'll honestly tell you about what i finally waited for the moment when i don't have to speak on december 25th. that i congratulate all christians who celebrate the nativity of the savior just today according to the western style

, there is no western style for us, there is no eastern style for us , and the news that i will now be the first to tell you, it is not about the head of the western church, no, it is about the head of the christian church, so looking at the baby jesus , i pray for peace in ukraine, i express our spiritual closeness to it, that is, to the ukrainian martyr people, pope francis said from the balcony of st. peter's basilica in the vatican about this under today's christmas message to the city and peace and peace of urbi. war pontiff called a journey without a destination a defeat without winners, madness, without justification and called on the powerful of this world to stop the suffering of people, adding, a quote from the pontiff. today, as in the time of herod, evil designs oppose the divine world. move in the shadow of hypocrisy and lies , how many murders are committed silently without the knowledge

of many, how many of these murders are committed silently, and despite the fact that many people know about them, i am talking now about russia, and god forbid that it be led by vladimir putin, who continues to in the eyes of all civilized people of the world, even on such a great day for world christianity, to kill. people in ukraine, and this year's, this year there are no celebrations in the birthplace of the savior jesus christ in bethlehem. the city hall decided not to celebrate due to the events in the gas sector. festive services are held in local churches, but unfortunately, there are no believers without crowds. traditional christmas trees and holiday fairs, representatives of some church denominations in bethlehem. they even call this year's christmas in the city sad. well, i want to say that the city hall

cities that are muslim obviously decided to ban such bright celebrations this year because of the fact that israel, well, in fact it is, israel kills many people, but israel defends its independence and defends its citizens, that is because in many are dying in the gas sector. people, that's why bethlehem refused to allow christians to come, christian tourists to come to the sanctuary and worship those holy places and celebrate his christmas at the birthplace of the savior. well, in several german cities for christmas and new year islamists could even plan to carry out terrorist attacks in churches, this was reported to the police, in particular, they decided to strengthen security measures, in particular , in the world-famous cologne cathedral

. the german newspaper bilt even reported earlier that the security authorities of austria, germany and spain had received information that the islamist group wanted to carry out an attack during the christmas and new year celebrations. and already there was even information about... that the governments of several countries, in fact the intelligence services, special services of several countries have even arrested islamists who tried to commit terrorist attacks today and on the new year, i want everyone to be caught and that there should be no terrorist attacks on these holidays, well you know, and this year's, in fact even today's, christmas greetings of those believers who celebrate him today... the main russian priest kirill, the quote that he

said in the current difficult period of history , our common duty to resist, looks cynical separation and strictly pray to the savior for the establishment of peace among the peoples of the earth, through the resolution of good deeds, glorifying the name of christ, that is, he calls to pray for the peace that his president, his believers have given to ukrainians, his president and his believers are now waging war on the territory of ukraine, killing people and destroying our cities, well, this is just cynicism, save it. he generally prays, well, certainly not to the one who was born in bethlehem more than 200 years ago, but probably to that savior, who for him is sitting in the kremlin, well , it’s not otherwise, it’s cynicism, big, well, okay , i’ll finish talking about christmas at this point, actually i won’t finish, there will be more information at the end, we’ll move on to politics in serbia,

it’s very restless in the country’s capital city . mass protests continue in belgrade, supporters of the opposition have been on the streets for several days in a row, but the most active yesterday and today are taking to the streets, demanding a recount of votes in the parliamentary elections held in the country on december 17. according to the results of the voting, the party won a confident negotiation the current president of serbia, aleksandar vučić. the day before, the opposition blocked the entrance to several administrative buildings, even the police. it was necessary to disperse the protesters with the help of special means, including tear gas, several dozen oppositionists were detained, today the blockades of buildings continued, and there is even information from the latest that students who joined these protests are blocking the building of the ministry of foreign affairs,

a lot of people are gathering again and again a lot of police are gathering, that's probably why spread in democratic serbia , tonight there will also be persecution of people who do not believe in the result of the vote, in which the party of the current president won and just want these votes to be counted, most likely they will be persecuted again. so the russians, continuing this topic, warned and warned the leadership of serbia that disorder is planned in the country, they did not even call the protest actions, disorder, about it in an interview with the tv channel. on tv pink, said the prime minister of the country, anna brnabich. in particular, she reported that such the information was sent to belgrade by employees of the russian federal security service fsb, which is already alarming. at the same time , she also added that the serbian special services also reported on possible protests. padnim bernabych. i especially thanked the people from

the russian services who have all this data and shared this information from the serbian language. side and added that such a statement would not be popular at the event, it would be funny if such a statement was popular at the events, you know, to thank the russian special services of the fsb about the fact that we also thank you for the fact that , in the same way, if the intelligence there during the time of hitler had warned some countries that they, well, let's say britain or america, what do you know, an attack might be preparing to attack you, oh, thank you, mr. adolf alaizovich, what did you warn here. very well, well, it’s the same thing , that is, listen, if you also take into account the fact that with a huge probability, in fact , maybe even with a hundred percent probability, that it was the russian special services and the fsb that somehow stirred up the situation, the situation, made it so, that he won the elections, of course, and vučić himself did to win, but they also worked hard, i mean the russian special services, to ensure that he won, because

they need him, they like him, and here now they first create this situation, and now they solve it cleanly. how the russian fsb, which sat in the sbu, just like at home, before the time of yanukovych, organized how it influenced the maidan, and what it wanted to push, so to speak, and with forceful crackdowns and everything else, not giving in fact, the power's capabilities, maybe they didn't want to respond normally to the peaceful protest of citizens, well, that's why they can also do it in serbia, god forbid, god forbid, of course, sometimes it's possible, some decisions in the european union need to be made not unanimously, but by a simple majority of votes, the minister of foreign affairs of the czech republic jan lipavskyi said about this in an interview with the news agency chtk. the czech republic during the debate on the replacement of the existing voting mechanism in the european union, that is , voting is not unanimous, but simple the majority opposed this replacement. well

, here is the quote from the minister, but this does not mean that our country supports it. about some specific issues, we may not foresee the decision-making process by a qualified majority, while he once again emphasized the need to continue to support and help ukraine, because he once again emphasized that ukraine is now fighting for the whole of europe. russia and china cannot calm down. american special services warn that moscow and beijing are making every effort to to destabilize the situation in the united states of america before the presidential elections in november next year. this is stated in the intelligence report published last week. agencies, while the russians did it with the hope of bringing donald trump to the white house, and the chinese will try to weaken the american leadership in this way. in addition

, china and russia have already begun experimenting with artificial intelligence in their influence campaigns. experts say that new technologies will help foreign, that is, russian and chinese spies faster generate messages in plain english that reinforce. there are disagreements , well, why in pure english, so that the consumer, an ordinary american, when he heard this information from the mouth of someone, so that he immediately believed, well, this is not what the russians say, this is not what the chinese say, this is what the americans say, so they have to be believed. a special operation that can go down not only in history, but in the guinness book of records, due to the number of people detained during it, in srilanta during the week. the police searched for drugs and drug dealers, as a result: 15,000 detainees, almost 1,100 drug addicts were sent to rehabilitation

centers and another 440 kg of narcotic drugs were seized , including heroin, the government of this country also reported that during christmas they decided to suspend the special operation, but will continue it immediately after the holiday season, although there are already those who say that the police had no right to conduct such raids. law enforcement... even stated that the raids were illegal because they were conducted without search warrants, although the police themselves say that warrants are not always needed to carry out such raids, and good christmas news: propagandist, russian anton krasovsky poisoned, this is reported by news agencies with reference to sources in ukrainian development. the former director of the russian tv channel rasha today went to the hospital in his telegram channel, he said that at first he had a stomach ache, and

then nausea began, he fainted and ended up in the hospital, but now he is coming to his senses, news agencies report that according to the gur krasovsky's condition is deteriorating. let me remind you that the propagandist called for the genocide of ukrainians and the killing of ukrainians more than once children katyusha deserves it, as they say, it's just interesting that when margo simenyan reacted to this message, she said: "oh, the ukrainians are lying, i spoke with him today, he's alive and well." i think that in margo simonian and in that vladimir solovyov, i think that panic attacks are growing in them ever so slightly, because first they were killed in , by the way, in a protected facility, an elite facility near moscow, and lyukyev, now, well, i don't know what happened there, but in any case, something. happened to krasovsky and i myself do not know whether now to look more closely at the sides, or to think that you drink and that you eat, well, in any case , everything has its price, and they must also feel this fear, the punishment of retribution, and

at the end, i specially wrote down 7 billion 883,693,263, that's how many gifts santa claus delivered around the world this year, together with his assistants, he managed to visit all the countries in one day. of the globe, of course, which was also over ukraine, for movement, the saint was tracked on a sleigh with nine drawn deer, traditionally tracked by the armed forces air defense command the us forces, thanks to the latest systems of radar stations, satellites and fighter jets, they managed to report santa's location in real time. and literally very quickly, i'm doing a little math today. i remembered, i studied at school in the math class, so on the planet earth, according to the latest data i read on google, there are currently approximately 8 billion and 100 million people, santa

claus delivered approximately 7 billion and almost 885 million gifts. if subtracted from the total the number of people, the number of delivered gifts, it remains that 197 million 111.65 people santa... didn't deliver gifts, now if we take into account that somewhere there are 50 and kopecks of millions of all kinds of evil, scattered around the world, in prisons, there are still 140 million, another 140 million. santa knows math, you know very well, and santa doesn't come to them, someone like stalin comes to them, probably, well, who do they like, lenin comes, so you see, the numbers don't deceive. well, for today i have everything in the world about ukraine section, everything is only for today, it will be tomorrow. there will be more and more in our future broadcast, so don't switch.

the ministry of finance will direct the money to partial compensation of expenses not related to security and defense, in particular to pensions and expenses of civil service employees in emergency situations. this time the world bank lent us the lion's share of money under government guarantees japan, and the rest was provided by norway, the united states and switzerland. medium and large enterprises receive 15 million dollars without... working capital, this is the total amount - this is one business will be able to have a grant from 250 thousand to 2 million dollars, the funds are from the international development agency of the united states usaid , companies are now invited to participate in this program with an estimated minimum volume of annual sales at the level of 8 million dollars in hryvnia equivalent, therefore , entrepreneurs should direct the grant to the development of their own business, such a goal and target

ukraine has during the war, let's start with how much ukrainian banks withstood and survived and were not classified as insolvent, analyze the situation. if we talk about the 22nd or 23rd year that is passing, then in general the situation was quite controlled, because i always call the 22nd, 23rd, 24th. such so 22nd is a year of shocks where we just put out fires as best we could. in the 23rd year , we realized that we are living in an ongoing military conflict, in the aggression of the russian federation against ukraine, and in the 24th year, i hope that it will already be an adaptation and a start to the trajectory of growth in various parameters, this...
