how to collect from what? oleksiiman, it will be from what , he will collect, eh, you need to assemble, support those engineers whom you know, who apply directly to you, whom you follow, determine your focus of attention. mr. oleksii, i thank you very much for this thorough conversation, oleksii hedman, a military observer, a participant in the russian-ukrainian war, a reserve major, was now in our studio, we are moving on. fortify the borders of ukraine

with drones, join the gathering of border guards. congratulations, ukrainians, with you marathon, single news. a team is working for you rada tv channel. we keep our finger on the pulse and summarize the main points for you. together, we are strength. the only news, in the center of events. it is the third night in ukraine, the tv channel rada continues its work on the air of the all-national. our team is ready to tell you about the results of the past day. svitlana usenko's news studio. greetings to all who are with us at this time. the united states announced a new package of military aid to ukraine in the amount of 250 million dollars. this was announced by us secretary of state anthony blinken. additional anti-aircraft means are included in the package defense, artillery ammunition, anti-tank means and other equipment that will help ukraine. resist russian

aggression. more than 300,000 people already work in the defense complex, president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy said. he says that now the domestic defense-industrial complex is not just being restored, it is becoming productive for modern technological warfare. many private initiatives are already in operation , four out of five companies in our opc are private businesses, many state enterprises. which had been inactive for decades, were now deployed own production, including new types of weapons. the defense forces are expanding the bridgehead of their positions on the left bank of the dnieper in the kherson region. the enemy conducted 10 assaults on this territory alone. this was reported in the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. the occupiers also unsuccessfully advanced in the avdiiv direction. here, our defenders repulsed 12 stages of the enemy. east of novobakhmutivka and avdiivka. there are also 15 more attacks

near the north, pervomaisky and nevelsky. it was also hot in the mariinsky, bakhmutsky and zaporizhzhia directions. in general, during the past day 49 combat clashes took place. the ukrainian aviation destroyed five areas where the enemy's personnel were concentrated and four warehouses of russian military equipment. over half a thousand russian tanks were destroyed by the sbu during this year. it was announced in the press service of the department. special forces destroy enemy armored vehicles every day in battles on the eastern and southern fronts. among the destroyed equipment of the aggressor country are the latest t-90 and t-90m. the cost of each of them is almost 5 million dollars. they were defeated in the melitopol and berdyansk directions, near avdiivka and bakhmut. more than 12 thousand wounded. defenders

were rehabilitated and rehabilitated during the two years of the existence of special rehabilitation centers for military personnel, kateryna kusmarova saw the work of one of them. military serviceman with the call sign avtodor, volunteers from the chernihiv region. he received a concussion in the direction of kupyansk. i was in the positions, an unpleasant thing came. kamikaze was sent, but then he recovered. we need help. during rehabilitation, well, he called, said that there will be rehabilitation, and maybe he he finds out what is possible with his wife, i have already arrived. the wife of an army man came to support , packed her suitcases, waited, i think, yes, no, but i am already leaving, a serviceman with the call sign beard returned from avdiivka a few days ago, he says, to deal with... combat

trying with stress and for the sake of their relatives , they tell us how normal people, children, come out after the war. i have a family, so that they live better, even better than me. 70% of psychological help, trainings, individual classes and relaxation. the issue of recovery is physical and psychological restoration of the quality of combat servicemen and recreation in general is extremely important. rehabilitation, depending on the injury, usually lasts at least two weeks. military personnel with spinal cord injuries undergo therapy in this pool. water reduces weight, and therefore reduces pressure on the joints, which allows you to move more freely, and helps you relax. this is a room for aromatherapy, each time a new scent so that you don't get used to one.

the healing power lies in the fact that the soothing aromas of the oil penetrate the lungs and skin to the body and improve the nervous system. it is medical and psychological help. is divided into two parts, it is medical care and psychological care, it is very important that psychological care is the main direction of rehabilitation, medical care complements psychological care, i.e. treatment of chronic diseases. experts say that the enemy's system of psychological pressure should not be underestimated. negatively used as sms messages, used as postcards, as loudspeakers, used prohibited types of weapons, such as chemical weapons. weapons, it all applies by the russians, all this in order to improve the morale and mental state of the personnel. our psychologists took the nato system as a basis. of course, we are familiar with their system of psychological support, and with the system of psychological support of the leading

nato countries. therefore, when we were building, when hostilities began in 2014, we rebuilt our ukrainian system. volunteers are more exposed to combat stress than military personnel who have already had experience in the ato zone. however , everyone has their own psychological potential. in general, this society must - come to the point that we will be near us, there will be ex-servicemen, and then veterans, with whom we will definitely have to work, and employment, and psychological help, psychological. support. kateryna kusmarova, dmytro poznyakov. tv channel rada. nationwide marathon, united news. the amulet is launched. an electronic register of conscripts has been launched in ukraine. according to the spokesman of the ground forces volodymyr fityo, only

the ministry of defense, the general staff and territorial procurement centers have access to this service. military service they will not be able to check their data on their own. it will be necessary to apply to the tcc. earlier , the minister of defense rustem umyerov stated that the main task of the program is the complete digitization of processes. currently, the database is filled on a basis based on the diya service. further, the adoption of the relevant bill for the synchronization of all services is expected. then the data of the changes of health protection and the ministry of internal affairs will also be combined. when everything is up and running, the territorial recruitment centers will have complete information on people of draft age. plan b for 20 billion euros for ukraine is being prepared eu. brussels will use it if hungary blocks the main plan for 50 billion, - writes the financial times. the publication notes that before the december summit in brussels, eu countries will issue guarantees to the european commission so that it can

borrow this money on the capital markets. a similar scheme was already used during the coronavirus pandemic. the participation of all participating countries is not required, if among the key ones. donors will be countries with the highest credit ratings. the process will be launched after the additional eu summit in budapest in february will apply the veto. then plan b should be agreed upon quickly enough so that ukraine receives the money as early as march, - the publication notes. the tariff for electricity for the population will remain unchanged, prime minister of ukraine denys shmehal announced this. such is the decision of the government, he. extended the effect of imposing special obligations on electricity, so for household consumers the price of electricity will continue to be 2.64 kopecks per kilowatt-hour. the decision of the cabinet of ministers remains valid until april next year. old motorcycles for the army

are restored by bikers in the kirovohrad region. in villages are looking for such equipment, repairing it and only then handing it over to the military. the bike, the volunteers say, will come where the car stops. lilia kocherga found out how such motorcycles are used at the front. shot. ukrainian soldiers take out the wounded and deliver ammunition on motorcycles, five motorbikes for the army, bikers from alexandria are currently restoring them, the bus driver and part-time biker andrii nicknamed pavuk united the volunteers. the man shows a leather vest, the only reminder of his former life, after all, he sold his own bike and invested the money in helping the army. tarasova gora, oleksandrivka and many other gardens. hillforts where he used to be. in general, there are a dozen men in this case, each of them has his own task. with this

, we were allocated a corner in the hangar where we can hide from all kinds of weather, we make, uh, we cook motorcycles, we paint motorcycles, kremenchuk svitlovozk deals with motors, serhiy boyko is there, and... they make motors, boxes, bridges. a motorcycle with studded tires will ride on sand and on clay, besides transport is easy to free from the swamp, so volunteers have a lot of orders from the military. i and my comrades, military personnel, are asking for material and technical assistance to provide our mv650m motorcycles, to maintain them . in a technically sound condition to perform a task of varying complexity, and

this is another biker workshop in the oleksandriysk district, organized by a private entrepreneur boris, he also gave his motorcycle to the needs of the army. we restore motorcycles, for example, this motorcycle, which standing behind me, was assembled completely from a bare frame, there was nothing on the frame, we began to completely go through the wheels. the bearings were completely overhauled, the fork was overhauled, the motorcycle was painted, the electrics were done, the engine for this motorcycle will now be built and it will go to rescue our wounded. vitaly filimonov, a tractor driver, also changed his leather jacket to work clothes, he has been a biker since he was 14 years old. i completely go through the engine, see where the defects are, eliminate them and reassemble it all so that. last year, he himself is from the city

of alexandria, this one, and i left because of this, my sister and brother also died, relatives and cousins, so i decided to help the boys so that our local boys would return home alive, they are repairing one motorcycle. about a month, the cost is uah 2,000, so the bikers need both donations and workers, the volunteers have already handed over a dozen motorbikes to the front and are preparing the same number for sending, and the soldiers hand over flags with signatures and words of thanks to the assistants, now it will benefit our army, glory to ukraine, glory to heroes, glory to liliya kocherga, hryhoriy zub, tv channel rada, general national marathon, single news. this was the last information in the issue, i would like to remind you that the rada tv channel will work for you until 6:00

in the morning, so stay with us, and i will say goodbye to you until the next issue at four in the morning. the state of the ukrainian energy system at the end of december remains stable, the energy produced by all types of power plants is sufficient to supply industrial and household consumers, they reported. bukrenergo due to the warming, the daily maximums of consumption have decreased somewhat. however, the need to save electricity remains relevant, because it increases the reliability of the power system. imports from neighboring countries help ukraine to pass the winter season without any problems. slovakia, poland, romania, moldova. however , sometimes non-trivial situations occur. thus , on the night of christmas, the polish operator of the energy system turned to ukraine for emergency assistance. however, the need was not to provide. of ukrainian electricity, on the contrary, holidays in poland resulted in an excess of 3

gw/hour, which was taken by ukraine. serhii lukyanchuk, analyst, serhiy, welcome to our studio. i really want us to constantly, when talking about energy, about electricity, they were engaged in ilikbes, because it was a surprise to anyone that an excess of energy could be a problem, and ukraine is even being asked to take these additional kilowatt-hours. please explain something, the next time you will do it on the air, how it... works, why it is bad when there is a shortage, why there was a problem when ukraine had to take this electricity from poland? the power system works in such a way that it needs a balance for normal operation. between consumption and production, all the energy that produced at the same second must be consumed, that is, as much as was produced, so much was used, if the excess is a problem, because it is necessary to turn off the generating capacity, and if it is less, if there is a deficit, the same problem, because it is necessary to turn off the consumers , or start expensive, expensive additional, expensive

additional generating capacity, which has now arisen in poland, there is an energy surplus , that is... then they saw from the forecasts of the balance of production and consumption that they have more electricity than can be consumed, because christmas holidays, accordingly, on christmas people rest, do not work , enterprises stop, businesses stop, and something needs to be done with this energy, you can of course turn off power plants, but it is expensive and difficult, and you can sell this energy to those who are ready to buy it, but at a lower price, well, in this case, such a buyer turned out to be ukraine, that is, it is emergency assistance for... for several months this year, there was a situation when we asked for emergency assistance, when we did not have enough electricity, then we received it, again, this is the most expensive, most difficult scenario, that is , it is better not to have such a thing, to do without emergency assistance, but you see, sometimes it works both ways, and how to get energy, how to provide energy, it is clear, if

we talk about our energy system in general and talk about, as i said, maybe someone was scared again, but it is a reality that about... half of the ukrainian energy system was destroyed as a result of russian aggression, it is clear that we are restoring something, but simply restoration of this is not enough, and analysts, in particular, i listen to what lana zerkal says, she says that our solution, our future is small generation, that is, in the future we must have small, directly generating capacities, like you before of course, small small... or to be more precise, distributed generation is very good, but first of all it is necessary to remember not only the destroyed half of the power system, but let's say, one should not forget about the largest nuclear power plant in europe, it is 6 gvv, it is not destroyed but it is occupied, it is not working, these are very serious capacities that were in our power system before the full-scale invasion,

now they are gone, that is, this deficit also exists, due to the destruction of kokhovsky, again , non-obvious things. due to the destruction of the kakhovskaya hydroelectric dam , there was not such a large hydroelectric power station there, but it is a cascade of hydroelectric power stations on the dnieper, which are connected to each other, and accordingly, it cannot work effectively when the lower hydroelectric power station, which collected a certain amount of water, but it does not works, it also affects, that is, here if only one the problem entails another, if we talk about small or distributed generation, why is it interesting and profitable, first of all it is profitable because... what kind of capacity can be built quickly, if we are talking again about renewable generation, that is, transparent generation, to a lesser extent about wind generation, the trend in the world right now is that colossal capacities for solar generation are being built, according to forecasts, there will be about 400 gigabytes of solar power alone, well, for comparison, here is the zaporizhzhia as, of course, this is

not a completely correct comparison, but plus or minus, but, but there are 400 solar, only solar power plants. gw and the largest as in europe, which we are proud of, 6 gw, you can, you can, you can see the potential, that is, there are actually opportunities, moreover, distributed generation is valuable for us now because it is less vulnerable to russian air attacks, that is it's one thing when we have, for example, a power plant, which, it 's not necessarily about restoration, you can talk differently, well, it's one thing when we have a power plant there with 200-300, 400 megawatts. for example, thermal, or wind, or solar, a dozen cruise missiles fly there and disable it for six months, it is another matter when instead of this one power plant of 200, 300-400 mw, we have 300-400 megawatt power plants, for example, distributed wherever possible , where it is economically feasible, again, not all recipes are universal, the bigger the thesis, the

more effective it is, the bigger, the more powerful the reactor, the more efficient it is from a standpoint, but the more vulnerable it is, as you say. that is, a balance is needed here, where, where it can be done and it should be done, but we have such a high potential. but once again, with the start of eu accession negotiations, we are also more and more actively talking about the fact that the model we want to have for the energy system in ukraine must be green, we must follow the principles of directly reducing those emissions , although they are decreasing because some plants and factories are not working there. and under such conditions, as will happen, will the actual construction of windmills and solar power plants enable us to meet the principle that... do we expect compliance from the eu? the energy-to-energy transition is global, meaning it's happening everywhere, it's happening , you mean it's a global trend, yes, it's a global trend, it's happening purely

for economic reasons, because now solar generation, again not everyone realizes it , because everyone is used to the idea that solar and wind generation are something very expensive, in fact, over the past 10 years, which we have passed since this boom started in the world, they have become the cheapest in terms of cost , that is... the cheapest wind generation , in second place is solar, i suspect that next year they will change places, solar will become the cheapest, there is very, very strong nuclear energy, it is already in third place, nuclear energy is cheap, if we are talking about old nuclear power plants, where it happened the so-called amortization, that is, where the reactor was produced, that is, it has already paid off its cost, when it is in existence for a while, it is cheap, but still a little higher, if new ones are built. reactors are now in western countries, i emphasize in western countries about china, about asia, well, it’s difficult to say, there are simply too many factors influencing there, not market, not

economic, there is a political factor, if we talk about reactors that are being built on the territory of western countries, well, for example, the finns built the olkilooto reactor was recently built for a very long time, britain britain is building hinkley point, france is building flamanville, the americans will complete it... this, by the way, is what we talked about when we talked about the completion of ukrainian reactors at the khmelnytskyi nuclear power plant, that is, it is expensive here , very expensive, and in many cases this is the main obstacle to the so-called nuclear renaissance, the nuclear renaissance that is so often talked about, that is, it is also a way to reduce emissions, a nuclear power plant does not emit carbon dioxide, uh, that is, in any case , it is in. .. it is more expensive for us if we build from scratch, if we build from scratch, and those that we have are the most, but it directly corresponds to the principles that we must adhere to when

we start this path and actually started it to join the eu, which also serhiy, in front of us there are problems, that is, on the one hand, we understand our vulnerability and we understand that the war will continue, on the other hand, we understand the european transition, i will say not even the green transition, but the european transition, what are the other issues, maybe you will definitely show them now. the answer to them, and perhaps these answers already exist, is how we need to remodel our energy system, and how at the same time every household should be energy efficient, i.e. there are global things, there are things that are just purely local, there are really interesting things here, which approaches, again, this is a global trend, we don't need to invent our own special way, we just need to move in the way that the whole world is moving, but before that, i wanted to talk about it. to say that what probably worries us the most right now, how are we, will we have power outages, or how high is the threat of missile strikes,

the repetition has passed, but this is not predictable history, the history of energy says, anyway, get used to saving now , and those peak hours, morning and evening, let's do less laundry and less ironing, that's true, and that's the right question, that is, these recommendations are useful, i understand them, that's probably what they just want for us to... become such a habit, even when we're fine, right? well, i look , we, fresh data for monday, warm weather, consumption still decreased even more, holidays, although not weekends, but we, well, a gigawatt of electricity, a gigawatt of power we took from neighboring countries, that is, power, which we take is growing, on the one hand it is good, we have this resource up to 1.7 gw, i.e what we can theoretically get from neighboring countries when we need this electricity, but... on the other hand, it is an import, we pay money for it, we pay at market prices, that is, it is good that this is a possibility, but if we could could do without it, it would be much better, hypothetically, this is too

big a figure, that the whole of ukraine saved this gigawatt, or hypothetically, due to correct habits, due to listening to what we are told about the load during peak hours, this can be achieved , it can be reduced by tens of percent, i am not in this i doubt it, just that we are a little richer, a little , or maybe significantly. weaned ourselves from these things that we are used to, maybe it's a good thing that we got used to it in some way then not a little, well, let's go back to what are the challenges facing the household and globally before the system, so that you directly give us these directions, i still want to return to this issue so that we simply understand that last year at this time we had been living in conditions of electricity restrictions for more than two months, that is, we were afraid to get into the elevator, we were collecting water by the way, we have already passed this year, we have passed half of this time, i.e. restrictions have started, stable system restrictions in the power system have started around the 20th of october 2022, i.e. already

backwards. two months since that critical , very bad period, we have lived without these problems, it is very good, no one can really predict what will happen next, what will happen tomorrow, how attacks on our power system may develop, may occur in the near future, but no matter how half of that terrible, dark period, which we had a year ago, we passed this year normally, now with regard to energy efficiency. and with regard to what other challenges we face and how the world is developing in the field of energy, that is , you say that the bicycle does not need to be invented, but we talked with you only about the habits that need to be inculcated there and get used to what, but for example, now, if you look at european trends, european requirements, a mass transition to so -called heat pumps, i.e. heating, electric, of course heating, electric it has always been expensive, because heating

is simple... heating electricity for water and for batteries or for household needs, it is expensive, a heat pump works in this situation, and a heat pump is not in our traditional phenomenon, somewhere there a well is drilled into the ground, but a heat pump that takes from the surrounding air, it actually works like an advanced air conditioner, i.e. a similar unit, it takes heat from the outside, from the atmosphere, from the surrounding air, it works efficiently there, let's say, up to -10 to - from 15° per kilowatt-hour of spent energy he receives somewhere there 3-4 kv of heat, that is , in contrast to direct heating of electricity , its so-called coefficient of productivity, it is three to four times higher, is a very powerful trend in europe, new houses are being built, heat pumps are being installed as a rule, and their production,

new factories are opened, more and more. that their prices are falling and again the trend is global, china also produces them in gigantic quantities, again for exports for its own use, that is, it one possible direction, the second possible direction is distributed generation, i think there is a lot of potential here in local communities, the prices of solar panels have halved in the past year, i did not think that this was possible, i have been following them for quite some time, interestingly, they were very low, but in the past year they have become cheaper twice and this is very... well, it is clear that ukraine has its own, if you have a war, then you do not think much about the fact that you will install solar panels, but if you want them to put, then the fall of

the world fall of prices by half. during 2023, it is clear that we will also fail, because we are not isolated in this sense, and we do not operate, say, such an attempt to close the market, to introduce increased tariffs on them, as , say, the united states does there or europe, in relation to chinese-made, here in this case the main locolith is china, i think it would be an interesting option, again, if we do not have an aggravation at the front, when the question of survival comes first, and there is a certain potential for and how can you do something, something to develop, ah, it would be nice to develop, again, distributed generation, in all the forms that it can be, well , first of all, if it, if we have cheap solar generation, there will be very cheap solar generation, for example, not all houses are private, not everyone lives in private houses, but in any settlement there are two or three hectares of land where you can

install this small one without any problems. the community, and the community must understand the relevance of these issues, then of course it is necessary to move in this direction, the community must be shown that it is beneficial, i.e. here there should be not only enthusiasm on the ground , so to speak, but also some state, but pragmatism of the general mass, which represents the community, we close energy for now and then talk globally about the economy, i also want to talk about grain and the situation directly on the border , the numbers are now: the economy will recover despite the obstacles, the cabinet of ministers has updated its forecasts. indicators of economic and social development. ukraine for the 24th-26th years. the government expects the country's economy to grow by 4.6% next year. in on the 25th to 6.8%, and on the 26th to 6.6%. the average salary of ukrainians will amount to uah 21,809.
