such an innovative script for the nativity scene was written by the head of the meta theater zoryana hryhoriychuk. christmas productions for the 25th year in a row and has published its own collection of nativity scenes, every year that i have already written that i have already i can’t write a better one, that’s all, and i put the next nativity scene, i think, and last year was probably still better, i ’m already like that, but i look, no, not better, different, well, the nativity scene, it’s all the same since its inception, it has always responded to modern events, it's just that we now take ancient scenarios and ... relevant characters, such as a cossack,

a jew, a pole, a ukrainian, that is, those people who were present at that time, who were. reality, and i too, i introduce those characters that are relevant now. the amateur theater of meta brought up more than one thing generation of actors and directors, founded it in lviv in the late 70s. now this work of their grandfathers and parents is continued by small and young artists, who perform not only in the lviv region, but also throughout ukraine. the participants of the christmas event themselves say that with this nativity scene they not only glorify jesus christ, but also encourage them to support our soldiers. with this year's nativity scene and in general , we can say, with every year's nativity scene, we want to convey that, even if it seems that dark times have come, evil times, that evil can win, in fact it is not so, and always

good wins in the end. with the christmas event , the nativity scenes perform a special mission, because they collect funds for drones for our military to defeat the enemy with joint forces, next year all ukrainians will celebrate christmas with their relatives, so that we all glorify god, and that we all fell on the drones of ukraine so that ukraine would win, beautiful words and actions from our little citizens, non-citizens, ukrainians who, if possible, are bringing victory closer. well, how can our partners bring our victory closer or not, and what are our enemies doing about it? it will be told by yuriy fizar svit about ukraine yuriy, good evening, please. good evening to you vasyl, good evening to everyone who joined us today. among other things, we will talk about the following: was there a secret meeting with the chinese regarding the ukrainian

peace plan, the netherlands is preparing for war with russia, a possible war with russia, and argentina refused to join brics. about this and other things in a moment in the rubric world about ukraine. well, let me start with this: the coming year should be the year of restoring trust, the secretary general of the organization said united nations antonio guterres said during a video address to the people of the world. according to him , people are under the pressure of increasing problems, poverty and hunger. well, wars , according to him, are becoming more and more brutal and numerous, he added. here is a short quote from the un secretary general: 2024 must be the year of restoring trust and restoring hope, we must come together to overcome our differences and find common solutions. and mr. guterres

said that countries need to stand together against discrimination and hatred that poison this is his quote: relations between communities. well , such a strange statement from the nato secretary general, but unfortunately we are used to such strange statements from the head of this organization. un secretary general, you say un secretary general, but what did i say? no, no, un secretary general, please excuse me. so about this statement, let's sum up some of the results of the past year and the year to come , vasyl and i will look into the coming year with our guest, oleksandr hara, diplomat, expert on foreign policy and security policy of the center for them strategies. mr. oleksandr, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine. good evening, mr. heroes, glory. thank you for joining. mr. oleksandr, let's ask the first question, precisely regarding this statement of un secretary general antonio guterres. well, somehow, you know, why does the secretary of state, knowing that

he is almost constantly engaged in this demagoguery before the new year at such a difficult time for ukraine and the world, continue to engage in this demagoguery again. let me ask you this question directly. who does antonio guterres work for, well he actually works for the organization that hired him to say these things, you know, in 2014 in fact, the european union was unable as a structure to help ukraine and the leadership was intercepted by angela merkel and president hollande, but in the 22nd year, on the contrary, there were actually powerful european leaders, but the eu as a structure felt that... it is, let's say so , a place for her activity, for her leadership, with the un, some bad things, because well, of course, that gtresh is not a person who is elected, there are some countries, as i mean the democratic process, it is more of a technical position, and of course, that he must balance between those opposing interests,

from relatively speaking, those who support hamas, i mean, and certain arab countries, and the russian federation, which is trying very well... this organization to the extreme liberal organizations, so of course what he's saying is a compromise, well in fact, in order to satisfy everyone, but you know, there is another saying that... that's why a diplomat is given a tongue so that he doesn't express his thoughts, that's exactly why he tries to say such abstract things that don't affect they don't put him under attack, well , it's strange, not to express their opinions, but how about your opinion, and what are his thoughts on this, after all, well, you know, if he holds this position, then he has gone through the diplomatic process in order to avoid sharp corners. and in order to actually be so streamlined, well, actually, this is understandable,

otherwise they would not have elected him, otherwise they would have said that it is not very diplomatic, just now is such a time that the very meaning of the existence of this organization is being questioned in general, since it failed on all fronts and did not stop any conflict, i do not want to blame the organization as such, because it was designed in the 45th year as such that two, re-rent two centers. could block any decisions, but we are already in the 21st century, what changes took place after the collapse of the scoop in 1991, and even more so with the growing aggressive role of both the russian federation and china, of course we need to rethink ourselves, otherwise it will suffer the fate of the league of nations, it will not prevent the third world war, but it will be, as albertenstein said, that the fourth world war will be characterized by a struggle with sticks and... stones, because the third world war will be destroyed humanity mr. alexander, i would like you to express your opinion about the prospects

of donald trump, a man who is a threat, well, it's not that i don't like him, it's just from the nature of his actions, the statement comes not only for the united states of america, and for ukraine first of all, from the first on december 25, he insulted biden, the prosecutor, smith, if i am not mistaken, who is investigating his case because he has some secrets there. took away from the white house, and the two states of colorado and maine have already banned him from running, what's next history can develop, and can this threat be minimized in the united states, meaning donald trump, as a political phenomenon? well, he is a symptom, rather than a problem, and i recommend watching the 1975 film the network about a leading american tv anchor who went crazy and pushed his own agenda. political was very popular, when i looked, i think how they could have predicted trump, here, but trump is a symptom of

the deep problems that exist in american society, and here it is not his question, there will be someone else, maybe less odious, if we're talking about his prospects, we have to start with what is the state of joseph biden's approval rating, and he is currently at the lowest level among all presidents, well, in this period, starting there from ... years in addition to the traditional criticism or the fair criticism about inflation there or jobs, added criticism for his reckless support of israel, and a lot of that is the extreme wing of democracy, they're somewhat disillusioned with it, i hope they then mobilize because on the other side the threat will be in the form of trump or desantis, and something like this, let's say, give it to joseph byton, next. the next problem in the camp of the camp of the republicans themselves, there are three most promising

candidates, trump with a large margin of 60%, 62, it seems the latest polls, and then somewhere 13-15 landings and somewhere 12 nikili, here is the first, if we talk about their struggle, nikhil is pulling ahead, but the latest public opinion polls in new hampshire show that she has closed the gap, and in fact 14% from. that is, she is gaining momentum, she is popular after the debate, now she is a little bit made such a mistake when she commented on the civil war in the united states and said that it was a war for better governance, and not about the fight against slavery, so she is criticized, but on other issues she is very much a traditional republican, so she has a chance , if something happens to trump, what can happen to trump, the first is really two things. and there are more than 30 of them who filed, that is, loans to the court, regarding blocking the possibility of trump to be

elected to the primaries, to the caucuses, that is, this is an internal political procedure within the limits of the of the republican party, for example , if we are talking about colorado, the supreme court of colorado banned the name from being on the ballots in the primaries, that is, what does this mean that if, for example, republicans from... that is, there will not be such a general gathering of voters, but only a party asset, yes, then his name can be entered in the ballot, further, this is the decision. does not prohibit participation in the elections as such, that is, theoretically , he can, let's say, not pass the primaries, but be nominated by the party and then be voted for. the third moment this decision, it is actually on hold, until there is a decision of the federal court, the supreme court, the federal supreme court of the united states, and it may not consider it for a long time and or complete the consideration when

trump is already elected, that is, this is a story about a ban on .. putting the name on the ballot, the second story is that the special counsel, the prosecutor, petitioned the united states supreme court to interpret or cover mr. trump's immunity during his last days in office, when he called for the storming capitol, if supreme, the supreme court has already refused, said he will not consider it, but if he would consider it. then he could close all the other criminal cases brought against trump if he said that he enjoyed such immunity, but this court would hardly be able to say so, because you can't cover absolutely obvious crimes, including incitement to rebellion, by office or mutiny or the eyes of this bezlat, which we saw

something on january 6, we choose that aside, then there are 91 charges of ... criminal and civil cases, and actually there may be something that can block trump, in some way, in theory, even if he is convicted and said that he is a criminal, then he can be elected president of the united states, but a large number of republicans, is it unlikely they will want to have their own kind of yanukovych, that is, a person with a criminal record who became the president, and most likely then they will either vote for another person, or well, i don't think so. that a large number of them will want to vote for the democrats, that is, such option, there is still an option, and god forbid, of course, that it becomes a civil conflict, because the core of the trumpians, it has actually become a cult, they say that the 2020 election was stolen, and they will not allow it to happen again. to do, and

they're flaunting their weapons, they're showing it, the same michael flynn who sat with... putin at the same table and then very quickly got fired as mr. trump's national security adviser for actually went to arrangements with the russians before being appointed to this one position, and there is logan's law, which prohibits this, he basically says that weapons will respond if trump's election is stolen again, that is, he actually already predicts, programs some of these fierce and... let's leave it there are literally 5 minutes left, let 's take stock of foreign policy achievements, if there were any, and i still hope that they were, well, i know that they were of ukraine, and here 's what we can expect in the coming year, what

challenges may lie ahead stand, well i think the first one is the most important, i would say… political success, and a series of operations by the defense forces to liberate the northwestern part of the black sea, which rejected this false black sea grain initiative, which allowed the russian federation to manipulate it, put pressure on ukraine, and blackmail the world with famine in africa and other countries, and actually it seems to me that it was a very important operation, and you hear how our western... friends who say , well, yes, this counteroffensive may not have been as we would have liked, but the ukrainians have shown that they are capable, well actually to control or win from russia in the black sea, that is, it is a very important thing, i hope that next year we will more actively destroy the black sea fleet, it will be good not only for us and the countries of the black sea basin, but also for other regions,

primarily syria, libya , well, the middle east and africa in principle, and what... but the essence of diplomatic or political decisions, of course, is the opening of negotiations with the european union, which is a great victory, but it is postponed because we do not know, 3, 5, we need 10, 15 years the process will go through so that the doors of membership will actually open and we will become these members, but this is very important, as it kills all of putin's plans to keep ukraine in his sphere of influence, it's a pity that at... the vilnyiv summit, he was not like that positive for us, but there were also important things, during the summit the group of seven at the maximum, and before that a very important statement about help. us, in the development of the defense forces and so on, and now, in fact, the ukrainian government is negotiating with partners in order to conclude such agreements, which, frankly,

they are wrongly called security guarantees, i would say security assistance guarantees, extremely important things, and of course, it is positive that they confirmed again that ukraine will be a member of nato, i hope that next year at the washington summit, a similar decision will be made to the europeans, that will open a technical victory. despite the fact that no one knows when ukraine will become a member of nato, it may be next year, in 5 years, it doesn't matter, but this was also a very powerful argument for putin that he is not achieving his goals goals, so we will have many challenges , the most important thing, of course, is to maintain, firstly , national unity, secondly, the coalition that supports us, let's hope that in the united states americans will elect not only a person who will deal with the economy, other things, but which has a very significant impact on... our victory and, in principle, on what the world will be like not only in the 24th year, but for decades to come. well, we really hope so. mr. oleksandr, thank you very much for

including us in our program, it was oleksandr hara, diplomat, foreign policy and security policy expert, center for defense strategies. well, we go on, i don't see anything, i don't hear anything, i won't say anything. yes, today the ministry of foreign affairs of china commented on yesterday's statement. chief russian diplomat sergey lavrov that beijing would participate in a secret meeting on the ukrainian peace formula, which was attended by representatives of the so-called global south in addition to ukrainians and europeans. official representative of the foreign policy department of the celestial empire during the briefing, maunien commented literally as follows: beijing has always been committed to playing a constructive role in the ceasefire and political settlement of the ukrainian crisis. so was there an answer to this journalist's question? no, there was no answer, well, it's purely in the style of china, but it's very nice that, after all, this information appeared about, if these secret negotiations were, it's very

good. well, the netherlands needs to prepare for a possible war with russia. the army commander said this in an interview with the newspaper of ukraine, lieutenant general martin viinen. at the same time, he emphasized that for this the dutch army must be functional. well, he says, it is necessary to attract as many reservists and volunteers as possible, and before that he suggests that everyone undergo a year's training in military units. mr. general also added that not only the country's army should prepare for a possible war, but also the dutch society itself. the leadership of the european union can allocate 50 billion dollars to ukraine even without the consent of hungary. he made such a statement representative of german. of the government of christian wagner, he once again assured that both the european union , in general, and germany, in particular, would continue to actively help ukraine in resisting russian

aggression and added that it is possible to do this even without hungary, while he did not emphasize, he emphasized that he did not want to reveal the details of how all this can be done, but added that active consultations on this issue are already underway in brussels. we don't want to join brick. this is how you can comment on the statement of the president of argentina javier miley, his decision to reject invitation to join this subblock. in an official letter to the leaders of the country, members of the brics countries, namely brazil, russia, india, china and its partners. president miley wrote that he does not consider the country's participation in the union to be appropriate at the moment. it is also worth emphasizing that at the last brics summit , argentina has already come there. and finally, on the streets of the capital of serbia, belgrade, there are tents of protesters,

representatives of the opposition, joined by students today, will continue to demand from the authorities a recount of the votes in the parliamentary elections elections held in the country two weeks ago. protesters insist that the results were falsified by the current authorities, for tomorrow the opposition is gathering a large protest action, both in belgrade itself and in many other cities of the country, while the country's president, aleksandar vucic, and the prime minister, anna bernabic, deny the opposition's accusations and the protests are said to have been sparked by a move to change power in serbia. well, maidan is brewing in serbia, maidan against aleksandar vučić, i'll keep an eye on it and you're welcome to tell, but it will be already in the new coming year. i congratulate happy new year to you, see you in a few days, that's all i'll say goodbye to, but don't worry, because we still have

a lot of interesting things ahead of us. new year's eve with the broadcast of your favorite tv channel. let's sum up the year with top espresso presenters. top journalists will talk to top ukrainians. and top ukrainian performers live. let's meet the new year together, happy holiday, victorious new year. act, unite, feel the power responsibility, interact, share stories, become part of history. since 2021, the responsibility award recognizes civil society organizations that act responsibly and change ukraine.

a training course, both basic and professional, because a person can reveal his potential and as effectively as possible contribute to the defense of the homeland, this is very important decision, and everyone makes it independently, but i believe that everyone needs to decide where he wants to move and in which country he wants to live, for example, in our group many people doubted whether to go, not to go, they were mobilized, but when they ... came here, when they came to combat coordination, when they learned, thanks to our instructors, revealed their potential, they are already completely different people, they are already much more motivated people, much more professional soldiers who can protect themselves and his brothers, and this reveals a lot human qualities in a person, because 24 hours a day he walks on the edge and tests...
