these are the security service of ukraine, the national police, the national guard and the 114th separate terodefense brigade. the corresponding decision was made on the radio of the defense of the kyiv region, because the enemy can resort to provocations during the new year holidays. an unknown assailant shot a car on the dnipro-reshetilivka highway. the 49-year-old driver died on the spot, the dnipropetrovsk police reported. according to the information of the law enforcement officers, the shooter was in... klava, he jumped out onto the road and fired several shots towards the car. previously , a special police operation was launched with a machine gun with a silencer to search for the attacker. the police are asking for witnesses to come forward. the authorities of the german city of troisforth block plans for the production of weapons for ukraine. for several weeks, the local mayor has been in conflict with the giant of the arms industry, the hell defense.

the factory in troisforf produces igniters devices that are necessary for a large number of explosive materials, in particular rockets. however, the local authorities oppose the production, local media reports. german defense minister boris pistorius has already reacted to the situation. he called on the local authorities to take responsibility for the disruption of the plant, which is an important link in europe's plans to support ukraine. shells, ammunition and missiles. the united states of america provided ukraine with a new package of military aid worth 250 million dollars, state secretary anthony said blinken. in particular, the ukrainian military receives additional ammunition for sams air defense systems, stinger anti-aircraft missiles, ammunition for hymars, 155 and 105 mm caliber artillery shells, javelin anti-tank systems and more than 15 million small arms cartridges.

the aid will provide the most urgent needs of ukraine in protecting its sovereignty, the pentagon said. this is already the 54th military package. support from the us. another 920 russians were destroyed by the armed forces during the day, and in total , the occupation force was reduced by almost 357 thousand soldiers army from the start of a full-scale invasion. in addition, during the day, our defense forces burned 27 tanks, 42 bmps, 15 artillery pieces and one salvo fire system each against the enemy's air defense. 18 units of cars and special equipment will no longer serve the invaders. another 32 russian drones lost their operational and tactical capability. the general staff reminds that the data are indicative. 56 combat clashes took place at the front

during the day. our defenders made three attacks on the sidelines. the russians continue to storm yavdiivka. 32 took place firefights in this direction, the general staff reports. on the other hand , on the left bank of the kherson region, the defense forces continue to expand the bridgehead, and the occupiers unsuccessfully stormed our positions 13 times. ukrainian aviation and missile forces hit 15 enemy concentration areas and two control points. the spresso tv channel together with the public organization baza ua is collecting funds for quad bikes to be taken away. wounded and other needs of the 93rd separate mechanized brigade of the armed forces of ukraine kholodny yar. the ukrainian military is in extremely difficult conditions every day win without leaving wounded comrades on the battlefield. with atvs , evacuation will be faster and easier, and therefore

the chances of saving the injured are greater. our goal is uah 800,000. with your help, we have already collected over uah 740,000. your donation is a thank you. to those who protect us on the battlefield, so support, do not remain indifferent. you can now see all the necessary details on your screens. the blockade of the polish-ukrainian border did not become an obstacle. ukrposhta found a way around the obstacles and sent international parcels by rail. as far as our journalists will tell you how the solution turned out to be effective and how the logistics were organized. christmas shopping abroad managed to be delivered to ukraine, even despite the blocking of three checkpoints on the border with poland. for the first time in 20 years, ukrposhta transported international shipments by rail. domestic and foreign partners helped in this. we delivered these parcels

from europe, from european airports to slovakia, namely kosice. in košice, our other partner is interport, a company that did customs clearance. our mail cars, used wagons of ukrazaliznytsia, freight wagons. koshytsia, uzhhorod, lviv, kyiv. a test train with such a route arrived in ukraine precisely at christmas. he brought 80,000 shipments. it was possible to cross the border in less than a day, some of the parcels are undergoing customs clearance, and some are already waiting for recipients in the branches. this logistic model showed its effectiveness, because we crossed the border itself. in less than one day, and then there were still several days when we were moving through the territory of transportation already through the territory itself of ukraine. before the great war, ukrposhta actively developed air logistics and sent up to 50 flights from boryspil to the region, but since 2002, international mail has not been accepted by rail. however

, the delivery by trains in the current conditions turned out to be an effective solution, both economically and operationally. we have ukrpoch. there is a unique opportunity to access the railway platforms, that is, our sorting center is in close proximity to the railway station, so the wagons that arrive, even these freight wagons, they did not arrive at a special freight terminal, he arrived directly on the passenger platform, was adjusted to the tollbooth of ukrposhta, there is a specially equipped customs area, the tandem of ukrzaliznytsia and ukrposhta began even at the beginning of the full-scale invasion. since then, mail has been delivered by passenger railcars, thus connecting six ukrainian cities daily, and during the period of cooperation, it was possible to deliver 15 million items across ukraine, and international logistics is also not far behind. ukrposhta is served in the international connection

by 70/20-tonne vans, which run constantly between various european airports, in our 12 european airports are involved in the model, the main concentration is on five - london, frankfurt, warsaw, riga and chisinau. and in this way we connect 192 countries in the world. international shipments are extremely important for migrants as well as development. of ukrainian business: thousands of domestic entrepreneurs export their goods around the world and strengthen our economy with taxes. in addition, ukrposhta is already working on another format and is announcing a new delivery method based on passenger transportation. kateryna halko, yulia belska, espresso tv channel. north korea began accelerated preparations for war. kim jong-un gave such an instruction to the military, as well as manufacturers of ammunition and nuclear... weapons, the country's state media reports. the korean dictator

called the situation dangerous because of the confrontational actions of the us and its allies against north korea. he emphasized that korea will look for allies. republicans are challenging donald trump's disqualification from the presidential race in colorado. the party appealed to the us supreme court. the appeal came after. than on december 19 the colorado supreme court disqualified trump from participating in the republican prairies in that state because of his role in the attack on the capitol on january 6, 2021. trump, who is the frontrunner for the republican nomination in the 24th presidential election, is expected to file his own appeal. the state supreme court delayed its decision until jan. 4, saying trump remains on the ballot if he appeals. for now, this is all the news for this hour. to learn more, update

information on our website espresso.tv, and also in our social networks. next, my colleagues lesya vakulyuk and andriy saichuk are waiting for you on the air. don't switch. we are returning to ether, lesya vakulyuk , andriy saichuk, we are working for you in this studio, and the next two hours will be in our company, and we will spend it in yours, and we ask you to join our gathering, which is ongoing, we have not finished it yet , to finish we need to collect 69,000 with a small tail for battery stations that work on solar panels and which in the field will remove our military generator for with the help of these battery stations, they can recharge their military

equipment, which is necessary for this recharge , they need it in order to destroy the enemy. 5375 41 12 08 37 2065, card number, or scan the qr code for those who don't like to bother. join in please, it's a bit slow today, so far we've collected nine in the morning. 900 hryvnias were collected yesterday, for example, 403 hryvnias, dear friends, let's save a little, because we have to postpone the collection for another 5 years, well, the collection, well, no, the collection must be closed as soon as possible, i understand what are you leading to the fact that putin said that he can fight for another 5 years, something like that from sidzinpin, and somewhere there he spoke, now we will ask oleksiy hetman, a military expert, what he thinks, mr. oleksiy, we congratulate you. good afternoon, here are these statements by putin, they are just such scaremongering, they are not

exactly putin’s statement, so it is clear right away that this is ekei asia, that is, the asian branch of nikkei, a large, large business publication, japanese, in fact, they specifically wrote their sources, that allegedly in a conversation with xi jinping, putin promised xi jinping that russia will have enough for at least another 5 years of war with ukraine, here we remind you that before the invasion he... also met with xi jinping and promised him that two or three weeks would be enough for him to capture kyiv, and xi jinping believed him, nevertheless , it has been going on for two years, a full-scale invasion, will there be enough muscovites for five more muscovites for 5 years, and what about us, will we be enough, not enough, well if, if we count the number of weapons that they can produce, starting from shells to tanks, planes, armored cars, then... well , we are silent about mobilization, because it is not known how much they can contribute, and their equipment

has a negative balance, that is, it is nothing more than they can produce, and if you count, well, purely mathematically , then it will end there, i think that in a year and a half, well, it will end below zero, so we understand that it is not possible to count like that, well, let’s take one, for example, for tanks, yes, they are now in service somewhere, well, an exact number is possible there , but... they change every day, well, let's say about eh 300 tanks, now there were 15,000 tanks in their warehouses, of which you can bring them to order, well , no more than five, because they are from three. they are sculpting one, of these five they have already transferred two there somewhere, that is, they can still add a maximum of 3 00, that is, as many as there are now, plus their industry can produce approximately 20 tanks per month, and we mathematically get that in what they can take from strategic warehouses, well, these are not

warehouses, it is just the sky, the glades on which these tanks stand are rotting, well, they are rusting, they are not rotting, so where is it? about 70, 50 tanks, that is, together they can deliver about 70 tanks to the front line a month, we destroy more than 200 tanks a month, that is, a negative balance, and if you count the remaining amount, the amount that they can add and the amount that we will destroy , to add up such a proportion, it turns out that for this and the next year, if you fully count, there will be below zero, that is , there will be no tanks at all, so to say that for 5 years, well, he can fight, but maybe he meant some ... another war they will be without tanks, without guns, without shells to fight, maybe not to fight on facebook there or on some media platforms, they can tell on their propaganda channels something that does not correspond to reality at all, before they simply twisted the facts, but now they don’t even need facts, they can talk about whatever, so maybe that's what he

meant by putin, a british military analyst at the royal institute for defense research. rusi, his name is, and jack walting wrote a column in the guardian, i am already turning to her again, i think that a really interesting column where he, in particular, we continue to count here, says that russia can attract up to 5 million shells to the battlefield next year, this is taking into account the help of iran, taking into account the help of north korea and taking into account the increase of its own production and... stocks that russia is actively deconserving and will deconserve next year, and this means that if now, as jack walting writes, the ratio is about 200 to 10,000 shells every day in artillery duels, then even next year the number of shells that can release the russians on the positions of the ukrainian soldiers, well, here is some kind of

mathematics, how to reverse this situation next year. tion in your opinion, you know , well, it is possible to calculate purely mathematically, but again something is missing here, well , first of all, let’s face it, they had about 15 million shells at the beginning of the war, well, maybe a little more, some sources go up to 20, but they have already fired 12 million shells, we can roughly count this, well, there are plus or minus a few hundred, but we count the number of shots relatively accurately, their industry can produce 1.1, 1.2, well, they say that... they can produce up to one to 1.5 million of these shells per year, that's about 4,100 rounds per day, from what they have left, well, somewhere around they still have 3 million shells left, well, if they are fired in one year, well, that’s right, it can be raised to somewhere around 12-13 thousand shots per day, how much north korea can sell, well, it’s hard to say, because north korea’s reserves are definitely that

we can't calculate, well there are approximate data, but given that in north korea. 5000 barrel artillery units, then you can, well, it is more, twice 2.5 times more than in russia, then it can be considered that there is a relatively large number of shells, if we consider that north korea can transfer a large number of shells, then mathematically such a figure can be obtained , but taking into account that north korea transfers shells, well, for nothing, but well done, it sells damaged ones and somewhere less than half of them can be used there. the question, well, the question is very debatable, this person who writes these data, she operates with numbers, but in these problems, you know, there is one unknown, that is, we can do everything calculate, when we know that there is such and such a quantity, such a quantity, we can solve such a mathematical problem, how much is plus, how much is minus, but when there is one component that we do not know, then what can be calculated, it is

mathematically impossible, by the way unknown component, sorry to make it clear that the unknown component. and the number of outfits that north korea can transfer, so we don't know exactly, so how to calculate, well, you can skip, here you can assume anything at all. of course, it is such, let's say yes, a pessimistic forecast, and it is precisely for the author of the article, jack watling, that it is necessary in order to stimulate aid in the first place. actually, the article is devoted to the fact that ukraine can win next year, but only if, in particular, europe finally fulfills its obligations, which were taken back in march of this year, to provide ukraine with a million shells. and actually he reminds, he starts with the fact, he starts with the fact that only 300,000 europeans gave us, and he believes that this is one of the reasons that ukraine was not able to achieve greater successes this year, and until the second, the reason he cites is that, in his opinion, in ukraine they train mobilized soldiers too quickly and the training of new units is insufficient. he

reminds that during the second world war in britain, the training of the mobilized took a minimum of 22 weeks, this is in the conditions of the second world war. i remembered that the 14th grenadier division of the ss galicia, which was formed from volunteers in lviv. she, her training was made up of ukrainians. yes, it lasted more than a year, that is, it was a year, yes, yes, until the time when they were already abandoned then under the fords, and to stop, to stop the russian red army, everything is correct, well, you know, a million shells, well, again, well , let’s divide a million by 365 days, we will get, well, another 300 posts per day, it will not give us a significant advantage of 10-12-15 thousand shots of the russians, well, no matter how much i would like it, you know? sometimes, this is a bit of manipulation in the big picture, calling some big numbers without connecting them to and to, well, a million shells, oh, never mind, a million and a million

shells a year, that's less than 300 shots per a day, but less than 300 ambassadors a day, it’s somehow not impressive, as they say, but a million is impressive, well, there’s no need to impress, well, listen, let’s somehow get out of those realities that are needed on the battlefield, no need we are pressed by large numbers, but if it is a million. 155 to be exact, and some percentage of them are accurate projectiles there like excalibur, then this is already a different picture too , yes we are this way and that way it was this and now it is happening that we achieve superiority not for the sake of not thanks to the number , and thanks to the accuracy, we have, well, we in general we use tactics, every shot must hit the target, this is what general zaluzhnyi told us, that we will not divide some areas into squares like the russians, just cover them with... shells, every shell must hit the target, so the shot can be inaccurate, well there are many reasons why you may not hit where you wanted there, but this is the goal, every shot must hit the target,

a military object, not just fall asleep there , destroy the building so that everyone is afraid, to turn maryanka into a lunar landscape there or some other settlement, no, that's why it's here we have damage, we don't lose much to the russians, because we definitely shoot, but still, well, we still need more shells. i think, after all, that this article, after all, is more intended for a foreign audience, to somehow push them, and not to delay, not to delay, not to think about whether it is worth it or not , and we hope that it will have some the effect, of course, that we see it a little, we look at it from a different perspective, if we talk about living power, we would also not like to be like russia, nevertheless, the draft law on mobilization caused an uproar. situation, and ukrainians not only in ukraine , but ukrainians abroad, i don’t know if you have seen this video, mr. oleksia, videos from warsaw and from krakow, people did not shoot, according to this

new bill, which has not yet been voted on, there will be vote only, there are such rules that if it is necessary to make a new foreign passport, then it will be necessary to enter the military register and, accordingly, see what effect this caused, what? the draft law has not yet been voted on, these queues have appeared in the polish capital in particular, in krakow, poland, it’s a question of whether i want us to watch the video, something is visible, our directors can’t find it or something, but it’s just that i see an illustration, you see, it’s in the queue for the production of a foreign passport in poland, huge just crowds. and will we be able to return these people to ukraine, or will this in any way affect the fact that the men will return to ukraine, or what do you,

or do you think, is it, is it still there, is it still a mobilization resource, actually those people who somehow ended up, well, you know here is a question, well, here, you know, any complicated thing, yes anything, must be broken down, as they say, into paragraphs, into subsections, that is... take something important, and then move on to some components, smaller, and we get stuck in some, well , details, and often why we meet in the main essence, let's do it, let's simplify it a lot, we need mobilization in order to defend our country, well, of course we need it, that's yes , this is not a popular event, many people do not like it, because those people who wanted to go voluntarily and went, they already our country has been fighting on the front line for almost two years now, but as this war shows, we

cannot stop the war only with volunteers who are already on the front line and those who have been mobilized. we will not be able to win this war, that is why mobilization is needed, whether you like it or not, well, there are many arguments that can be made that if , for god’s sake, a person does not want, you know, such a very simple argument, does not want to serve in the ukrainian army, then it will to serve in the russian army, let him ask people from the temporarily occupied donetsk, luhansk, mariupol and other other cities, the people who stayed there and met the russians, now all the people, people, people, people, were either given or not even given russian... passports and they are simply mobilized, that is , it will still have to be understood , finally come to the understanding that this is a war and a big war, this is a war no less, well, it is similar to the second world war, which was in europe and on our territory, including, therefore, mobilization is needed, the question of how to do it correctly is a separate issue the question of how to stimulate which ones should be, well, what should the state do, what should the mass media do, how

to raise? the prestige of this, how to explain that it is necessary, and so on , there are many questions that need to be worked on, but the first question, that is, two questions, is it necessary or not to mobilize and how should it be done, the first question, is it necessary or not it is not necessary, it is necessary, let's move on to the second question, how is it right, a subsection already, how is it right to do it, and the fact that there are people there are some kind of harsh means, harsh measures, so that people are there with good property. now i heard from the notary there are queues, they write that they can seize the property, something else, and so on , that is, this, well, and we say that, well, you see how it happens, this is a negative reaction, and so on, yes, a negative reaction, yes queues for foreign passports, that is , it turns out that the law on mobilization is wrong, that we need to mobilize, well, i can, i can, i can assure you that then these people will already have their foreign passports and to everything else, because

if we're not, we're not us... further, maybe to kyiv, maybe to lviv, so, well what are we saying, like it or not like it, you know, in britain you gave an example, 22 weeks, people were prepared, people were prepared, this is the question, maybe we need more thorough preparation, longer preparation... three months , it will be more or less normal for a person to be able to conduct hostilities, in addition to the fact that it is not necessary that people who are mobilized can get to zero. there are a lot of things in the armed forces that, in addition to the war at ground zero, well, in the united states, for every soldier at ground zero there are 11 people, which is provides, 11 servicemen, well, not behind the back, but those who provide, i think we have three or four people also standing as

providing. that person who is directly at zero, so it is not necessary that the person immediately joined the ranks, he will go to zero, and if he is afraid, if he does not want, or cannot, or is not mentally ready, well, there are others things that can be done, and let's go back to great britain, and you can imagine that for 22 weeks they were preparing for, just like our division, the 14th grader division, and you can imagine that in britain a person will say, but i don't want, i don't want, i do n't want to fight, because... i wasn't born for war, what happened to this person in great britain? it is impossible to imagine it, but there are still questions in fact, i think they were voiced by valery pekar, who says that in general there are two points in the mobilization, the first is, well , no one denies the need to replenish the armed forces, but two questions that must be resolved , cannot, they cannot be solved by the military, the military can only fight with those forces that are available as a result of mobilization,

truth? there is no need to transfer these issues to the military, it is not the army that has to fight, all the other issues are theirs, they have to provide for the civilian, civilian structure, but there is a feeling , and there is a feeling, mr. oleksiy, that they want to transfer this issue to the military now, and no , well, maybe grown-ups, we understand that it is, well, it is not accepted, you see, the devil and everything we told, it is not perceived positively by society, so it is necessary to transfer the negativity onto someone, so that the negativity is not splashed on civilians . power, on the military power, well, the military, the army , let’s say this, well, i can even understand that, well, mr. zaluzhnyi calmly, without any, without pathos, without any historical expressions, just that, well, not us, it’s like we can affect the restriction of certain rights of civilians, what are we here for, we, we are an army, we have to fight, how to call him this way or call him that way, we say, we need a certain number of people to provide our...
