hryvnias and this has already been adopted by the city budget, and indeed, traveling around odesa, we have already talked with many communities, which this story about the requests of military units and the allocation of funds and the further, further use of these funds is completely up to the consideration of the military unit itself, and a lot communities in odesa. and the town, they still try to somehow help the armed forces of ukraine and, in principle, the military units that are in odesa, where the ppdd is permanently deployed on our territory, but there is also a moment that all this gives an opportunity.

to take money here, but we still give personal income tax to kyiv, this is a very big problem, for which we do not yet see any very powerful, any way out and positive prospects for the next year. i thank you very much for your work, above all, for your volunteering and for your comments. fevzi mamutov, a deputy of the odesa regional council, made very correct points about z'. on drones and in general aid to corruption, this is all important, we have been talking about it for two years, well , we need to do something about it radically, again, because the third year of the war is already obviously not will forgive what he forgave in one way or another during the second year of the war, well, with certain consequences, we can see these consequences now, there was supposedly an apology, but you always have to pay, war does not leave debts, you have to pay for everything, unfortunately, but very often the wrong ones pay , what problems these create, and those who later pay for it with their blood, unfortunately, it shouldn't be like that... actually, we will talk about the war, serhii

zgurets, director of the defense express agency, host of the daily military summaries column. sergey, congratulations. greetings to our viewers. i am so strange i will tell you the story, and you will comment on why the enemy does this. andriy saplienko , our second colleague and our mutual colleague, a military correspondent, said that the russians sent to his phone, and not only him, he is so interested in the military, a mass mailing is coming now, where they say that he is going to the third maidan, pavaliti vlast , we will walk together in kyiv, so overthrow these usurpers. is meant from zelenskyi, i would write them an answer that let's you start overthrowing putin, and we will pull ourselves together, but why is that is now becoming an enemy, what does he want to achieve with such an information attack? well, in fact, such attacks are regular, they also include intimidation of our soldiers, when there are messages of such a content that we will find you there, we will punish you and so on, to the options you are talking about now, in fact, this is not the case nothing new, our military is ready for this...

they are aware of it, i think it will not have any effect on the fact that this next russian ipso will have any result. and further in our wine program we will talk about the situation in certain areas of the front, in the assessments of generals and in conversations with our soldiers, and whether it is possible to invent the new technological powder that zaluzhny is talking about at the level of individual combat brigades. more on that in a moment. it so happened that today two generals, the commander of the khortytsia operational-strategic group of troops, oleksandr syrskyi , and the commander of osuvria, oleksandr ternavskyi , presented a vision of the situation in the areas of the front for which they are responsible. as a continuation of the theses that the holocaust made on tuesday of the armed forces, valery zaluzhnyi. so, general syrskyi reported in his telegram channel that despite the expected losses, he continues

intensive offensive actions in all key directions, in the kupivnsk direction, the enemy is trying to seize sinkivka at any cost and create conditions for blocking kupyansk. the enemy is also preparing assault units from among the airborne units for the development of the offensive in the direction of siversk, this is interesting and important information, they are trying to capture bohdan in the direction of bakhmud. restore lost position in klishchiivka, kurdyumivka and andriivka districts. and in turn , the axis commander in tavria, brigadier general oleksandr tarnavskyi, in an interview with the bbc today , emphasized that russian troops have become more active along the entire front line and in his area of ​​responsibility. according to the general's assessment, the russian aggressors are determined to at least ensure the capture of the settlement of avdiyivka, despite the fact that, as he says. navsky,

they do not really want to enter avdiivka, they want to bypass avdiivka in order to avoid fighting in the city, because it will make it even more difficult problems of enemies, as it was in bakhmut, the general believes. problems are, of course , the colossal losses of the enemy around avdiivka. maryanka, according to ternavskyi, the enemy practically wiped out the land, as he said yesterday , and the russians are trying to regain the positions lost by the enemy during the introduction of our offensive actions in the zaporozhye direction - explained ternavskyi. at the same time, commander tavria predicts that the 24th year may be more difficult in the conduct of hostilities than two years. and here i will remind that the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhnyi is somewhere a month ago, he spoke about the fact that the situation at the front can reach a dead end, because in fact both sides, the armies of ukraine and russia , operate with weapons and technologies of the same level

with certain advantages in certain segments, this is such a dynamic balance, therefore new technologies are needed for changes, new tactics, and yesterday just during his first briefing... valery zaluzhnyi stated that the next year for the defense forces should differ from the 23rd year , primarily technologically, because 90% of solutions have already been found in the areas he outlined as priority let me remind you that it was about ensuring dominance in the air through scaling up the use of drones, about expanding the potential of electronic warfare systems, about improving counter-batteries. measures and means on new demining technologies, on the preparation of forces and reserves and improving the efficiency of military management, all these directions are extremely important in order to change the situation on the battlefield, and as zaluzhny said yesterday, all this

is necessary and will be necessary decide to act more effectively next year and the most important thing is to save people, - said zaluzhny. so, these... directions are extremely important and for and now we're just going to call our guest, who will explain some aspects related to creating a technological advantage at the brigade level, because we know that right now one of our most famous brigades - this is the third separate assault brigade, now withdrawn for recovery, and in the process of this recovery, it must ensure... the transition to equipping with innovative models of equipment and weapons, and as the leaders emphasized of this brigade, that it should strengthen the third assault brigade and bring it to the first place in terms of technology. how exactly it happens

, how it will happen, we are just going to talk to our guest now, who will join us on our broadcast, in general, if we talk about the situation around bakhmut, it really is you... gives not just because the enemy is now trying to conduct offensives in several directions, first of all, he is trying to ensure an advance from the north above bohdanivka, to ensure an advance to khromovoy, and also to replay the fighting around klishchiivka and andriivka, actually. there are now battles over klishchiivka, which are connected with the control of the dominant heights, the enemy has repeatedly reported that, relatively speaking, he managed to get to these, to the support point at an altitude of 215.7, but in reality this information is completely

incorrect reality, although, as soldiers from other brigades say, in particular from the fifth separate assault brigade, which now controls the area near... klishchiivka with an exit to ivanovske, the enemy is trying to rotate reserves, accumulate forces is still trying to break through to the positions held by the ukrainian military, and the strengthening of our units and brigades is important here, because in particular the commander of one of the battalions of this brigade said that the reinforcements that are coming to their brigade we are not talking now about the third, but about the fifth air assault brigade. in fact, it does not, in terms of its age and its capabilities, meet the needs that are needed on the front line, because of course, first of all, the main burden is now borne by assault brigades, assault battalions , which are forced to fight

with the enemy's manpower, the enemy tries to use this assault tactic, which he actually put as the basis of his combat operations, as the basis of his advance, because conditionally... that having an advantage in manpower, this tactics are connected with the use of units, which is precisely the basis of the fact that the enemy is trying to advance in... uh, all areas, but is exposed to the resistance of our fighters with the support of technical means that destroy the enemy. we are currently trying to establish a connection with officer from the third assault brigade, we see that we cannot establish this, then we will continue our program, and then we will talk about other aspects related to the conduct of hostilities. we can talk about the fact that it is not only a matter of having an advantage on the battlefield in weapons,

but equally important is where the front line lies in our heads, in the heads of our partners, and actually in the heads of the enemies , because it is about the information front, which is related to the events in the trenches and to the use of familiar weapons, by the way, i would like to remind you that this year in... one of the nominations, which related to the assessment of the situation in the information field, in particular in the context of the laureates of the ivan franko prize in the field of information activity, for the best scientific work in the information field was such that two persons received this nomination, valery korol and hryhoriy lyubovets, and they... wrote a monograph entitled context of negativity, how to protect yourself and the country in

conditions of total information confrontation. and i am glad that now one of of these nominees is the retired colonel of the armed forces of ukraine, valery korol and the chairman of the board of the center for communication and content security, who is joining our broadcast. mr. valery, i congratulate you, it's nice to see and hear you. good evening, nazem. i wanted it to happen in our program that... the military evaluated the hostilities and especially the situation related to the draft of the new law on mobilization, i would like to hear from the military first, but now in view of the communication problems, everything - i will forward this question to you, because it's just right the law on mobilization, it is now extremely important from the point of view of its essence, and now from the point of view of the information field that forms... around this law, because on the one hand this law will determine, conditionally

speaking, the reality of ukrainian society for the next year, and on the other hand, for some reason, it becomes the basis of such a strange confrontation, when politicians try to transfer to the military all these negative things that are connected with the implementation of this law, because in any case the law is not easy, it requires decisions that, well... on which the future of our country will depend, i would like you to assess, in fact, what is happening in the information field around this law, and whether this law can, well, be transformed in such a way in order to quickly pass it decision and for this law to become such a basis for the consolidation of society, if it is at all possible, with regard to such complex laws, well , actually it is worth saying that there is no law as such yet, there is only a draft, but we

will emphasize that the law on mobilization is not a matter for the military, it is a matter for the state matter, that's why, based on this, we need to understand that an incorrectly chosen official information policy can lead to unforeseen consequences, in our opinion, yes... and the wrongness was laid at the beginning, before the beginning of a large-scale war, and precisely because that real threats were ignored in the migration space, and the corresponding changes made ukrainians think that everything will not just be fine, everything will be great, unfortunately, the beginning of a large-scale war changed only the form of communication with society, but not the optimistic tone that was at... before that it remained a trend, if you present unbalanced information, let's say

, only positive messages, about the course of military events now especially, like last year's two or three weeks before the victory, you remember this trend , then i can have serious negative consequences in the future, the population's own adjustment to a quick victory, the underestimation of the potential of the aggressor is already reflected on... well, and so on. society deserves to be spoken to as a partner. states, talked about difficulties, problems, discussed ways to get out of a bad corner, i do not mean purely military aspects, that is, how to wage war, how to conduct combat operations, how to ensure other aspects that have a vulture there and so on, of course this does not apply to all these aspects, but we are talking about the need to more

clearly articulate the problems faced by the state, the army, the defense forces, i.e. it is the quick adoption of the necessary laws, it is the provision of the defense force, it is the support of enterprises, in particular business ones, which are now putting all their efforts into , to provide for all we need our defenders, and of course it is about the formation of consciousness regarding the protection of the homeland, that is, it is a complex task and it cannot be solved in some fractions, let's say in a week there or a month, here the state cannot do without help from... and vice versa. mr. valery, i like you a little bit, i understand you, but how do we establish this dialogue between the authorities and society, to talk about complex things, what these platforms should be, where we need to move, because we understand the trend, and the implementation mechanisms this i see a trend that we cannot understand. well , the mechanisms actually depend on the construction

policy, because it is necessary to realize that the national information space is not a bazaar. day off, it is a clearly structured, moreover, segmented space within which certain discourses are formed there, the discourses must be long, we cannot say one thing today, tomorrow the opposite, the day after tomorrow something that contradicts these two positions before that, here the role is extremely big, because this is the task of the state - consolidation, that is, we must look at all problems from the same point of view, both the state , that is, the government, and society, that is, citizens, we must... understand what these problems are, what they consist of, how to overcome them, that is, we must speak the same language, that is the consolidation of efforts , and this depends absolutely on the authorities, we will then receive a powerful communication and content background for neutralizing enemy aggression, and if there will

only be hyped information campaigns, especially against some persons there or some events there and so on, then we.. ... we are just playing along with the enemy, that's when we now we are talking about the bill on mobilization, we believe that it will be adopted quite quickly, and i want to point out that back in may of 2023, in fact , the verkhovna rada already adopted a law, where the age limit was lowered from 27 to 25 years, but it was not signed by the president at the time. and then isn't there something wrong with this, now we also have 25 years stipulated in this law, and isn't there a risk that the president will say: i didn't sign it then and i won't sign it now, can it be such a difficult situation? no, we 're looking at it from a completely different angle now, then it was not the right time, but then there were other expectations, then we were on the offensive and obviously

the assessments were not quite correct. prospects and so on, now we see that we already have, unfortunately, this issue is not just relevant, this, this is already a flashing red light, you know, this is all, the last chance, that is, if this decision came into force yet in may, we would not have many problems now, we would now have a completely different attitude to this law, of course, that then there was a demand from the president to make it more comprehensive, and it was made so, but this in no way removes the relevance of the may law, we have lost some time, and it is necessary to understand that mobilization is not only about the need for a citizen to come to the tsk, it is about his readiness to kill enemies. remember the year 2014, how in the first days of russia's aggression, agents of the russian special services agitated the local population in donetsk region, and

what they did then was to block the path of our soldiers, our soldiers, and even took away their weapons. and there was another effect, the effect of the psychological unpreparedness of our servicemen at that time in the 14th year, to shoot at the russians who entered our territory, to shoot the enemies, all this came to us through blood and death. i remember one more episode, 91-92 of the last century, when a mass of officers arrived on the territory of ukraine to continue their service in the armed forces of ukraine. and then there was such a special commission in the main social, social management, social and psychological management, this commission was headed by general volodymyr. er, who was the head of this department, and he asked one question to these people who came to ukraine, are you ready to fight with russia? well,

then a lot of crap poured out on his head for this question and for his position, but life proved that he was right, that's why mobilization is not only a law, the law is one of the starting communications. of these points , which at the moment should already be numerous, but are there these points, you correctly asked the question, what should these platforms be, they are quite different, but they should be built primarily by the state , that is, the government, since it has these opportunities, and has to implement them, and now we are facing with the fact that we are now starting to form these platforms, i.e. lost time regarding this formation of appropriate communication, then we... have already partially said with you, answered this question, i.e. this time, this most productive time is lost, but this does not mean, that we should put our hands together, and re-fortify

the information policy with an emphasis on awareness of the attitude of citizens to the protection of the motherland can give results if all components are clearly defined and will work 24 hours a day and will work from top to bottom, this is very... discourse line, it should be long for years, not for a week, not for a month, not for six months, while there the law is adopted, implemented and so on, it is for years, and in the end, i think that this is the task that the government is currently setting , albeit belatedly, and the fact that the commander-in-chief was involved in this process, in principle, inspires hope, but i emphasize once again, approaches must be changed, and the fact that you paid attention to this before adopting the law. we saw in the implementation of a certain part of the policy ping pong with the ball being served on the field of the military, causes doubts about the effectiveness of the implementation of this law. we understand that the commander-in-chief

of the armed forces, general zaluzhin, cannot hold a briefing every week and set up points of hope. it is clear. so, that is, informational structures should be included in this action, which are quite enough, let's say, in the state, but sometimes. it is the impression that the problems of the war, the problems of the defense forces are secondary, instead we see certain competitions there for ratings, there for something else so political there and so on, it is sad, it is even more dangerous, because it threatens the national safety, mr. valery, then i would like to ask you, then it is also related to this issue, if we are talking about a swindler, a swindler. among other things, he said yesterday at the briefing that they are reacting that he is sometimes brought to him by the foreign press, where they write about the situation in ukraine, he says

that there are very few experts in the west that you can pay attention to, but in general there are such a powerful information background in the foreign mass media, where it is said that there is a shortage of ammunition, yes, that is, that it is probably necessary to enter into negotiations with russia by the federation, that is, those... topics that we actually start to discuss later in our own information space. the question arises, can we somehow impose our content on our partners, or are such opportunities limited, and how can we then respond to the fact that we are actually then secondary in this process related to the discussion of what is happening on the line the front, the issue of secondaryness in this space, unfortunately... is rather long-winded, it has actually been going on for 30 years, the whole time, the world looked at ukraine through the prism of moscow, and we looked at the world again through the focus

of moscow, this is nonsense, it has already been corrected to a large extent, but unfortunately it is still relevant, because the expert environment in the west, it is quite... heterogeneous, there are experts who give a fairly clear, correct, objective assessment of the course of the war, events, the potential of ukraine and russia, our needs, and so on, and we must address this, and if these materials appear in the information space of the west, then we must understand accordingly their essence and their perspective, and how we should also perceive it, and we perceive it as... er, it is we who should talk about the problems, er, to a large extent , the export environment is represented by certain sympathizers or bought agents of russia.

and this is also a big problem, because they present most of the materials in a distorted light, and then the western society perceives it through the prism of these russian hidden narratives, and it is probably not by chance that general zaluzhnyi twice last year together with general zabrodsky was an article that received little attention unfortunately for ukraine, that's it he recently appeared in the economist magazine. was her with an expert assessment of the situation that developed in the russian-ukrainian war, this is quite powerful material, which, well, i understand that it was a cold shower, and even for our partners who actually know about our problems, or should know more and so on, so here is the question that the expert environment in the west should be formed by the ukrainian

state, the ukrainian authorities, we should not be afraid to talk about it, mr. valery, thank you very much for your time, for these professional comments, i think that we will return to these topics and later, i will remind our viewers that valery korol, the chairman of the board of the center of communication and content security, was on the air of the class press. these were the main results of our military column today, which were more informative than military. so stay tuned to the espresso channel for more international and economic news. good evening, we are from ukraine. i thank serhii zgorets, and i thank his guests. these were the military results of the day, the second great hour is still ahead, and you are waiting ahead a lot of interesting. world about ukraine with yuri fizer. money during the war with oleksandr morchevka. why does the government say that there may be delays in the payment of pensions and

salaries for civil servants. what is this connected with and also the culture with lazy chechenina and the weather from natalka didenko, is it really getting even more cold in ukraine, and before i move on to the news, i will say that according to newsweek with reference to sources in the united states government america, they report that 13 f-16 aircraft are already on the territory of our state. this the news will be announced again by the american edition of news week. well, we start with the most important prosecutor's office. read the investigation into the shooting of ukrainian prisoners of war near zaporizhzhia. according to the investigation, in december 23 , during a combat clash with ukrainian defense forces near the village of robotyn in the zaporizhzhia region, the russian military captured three ukrainian defenders. after an hour of violation of the geneva convention, the occupiers shot them. unfortunately, this is not the first time

such a violation and such. crimes, i hope that all of them will be documented and sooner or later the guilty will be punished, the main culprit in this is the russian state, the aggressor, eternal memory of the fallen heroes who gave their lives for ukraine. in 2023, our armed forces and special units of the security service of ukraine destroyed more than 500 russian tanks. among the destroyed are the newest models of the country's aggression t90 and t-90m. the cost of these armored armored cars is almost 5 million dollars. for each for the maximum defeat of the russian language armored vehicles used a powerful arsenal of anti-tank weapons and modern drones. well, you see, when there is something to aim at, russian tanks don't stand a chance on the battlefield. the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyy , awarded the workers of the defense-industrial complex of our country with awards. currently, 300,000 workers are involved in the production of weapons in ukraine . these are people who are working around the clock

on... restoring the defense capacity of our country - said the head of state. just for this year, thanks to you and everyone who works at our defense sector managed to produce three times more weapons and equipment than last year. there is a very significant growth in the production of ammunition, in particular for artillery. ukraine is deploying such extraordinary production at the system level. necessary things like ammunition for our domestic drones, the important results are the production of our missiles, the quantity and quality indicators for missiles are already significantly higher and will be even higher. kyiv received help from german sister cities, five fire-rescue vehicles were handed over to the city sister city of leipzig, the mayor of the capital, vitaliy klitschko, announced this.

three more modern pieces of garbage from berlin. the carts are equipped with an ecological system with
