the state border service reports. the men put on wetsuits, but from the first minutes of the dive , they lost strength due to the cold water and strong current. the first. washed up on the romanian shore, he was pulled out by the border guards, the second on the ukrainian shore, the diver was already rescued by ours law enforcement officers the department did not say why both did not use the checkpoint. only rumors in social networks, the rules for crossing the border for people with disabilities of the third group have not changed, said andriy demchenko, the spokesman of the state border service. according to him, no changes were made, but the border guards did. documents for departure are carefully checked, because this year alone, 300 men tried to cross the border with fake documents. i would like to note that there have been rumors in social networks about border crossing restrictions for parents with many children and people with disabilities of the third group.

a police station damaged by the russians during the occupation was restored in the kharkiv region. the premises for law enforcement officers in the village of chkalovske were robbed by the invaders. and broke up, the national police say. after the liberation of the community, the village was left without supervision, now the premises have been repaired, equipped with office equipment and all necessary equipment for work. now two officers will work there. they will be able to quickly solve security problems in the area and prevent crimes, the ministry of internal affairs is convinced. and it was restored in the kherson region another medical laboratory, during it. the occupiers ransacked the kupation in the shortest possible time, carried out repair work here and brought in the necessary equipment. there are seven modern offices, four doctors and the same number of nurses provide assistance. there is also our own laboratory, where you can perform tests included in the primary medical

care package. the most important thing is that the medical facility will work even during layoffs. for this purpose, it was provided with autonomous power supply. in chernihiv oblast , a destroyed overpass was repaired by the occupiers, reports the head of the restoration states, mustafa nayem. in february 2022, the russians destroyed the automobile bridge over the railway track near nizhyn. now the builders have already completed its reconstruction and opened it for traffic. its length is 60 m, the bridge has two lanes. according to nayem, the new section of the route will relieve local roads for the transit of trucks. and passenger transport. on the eve of the new year, the kyiv zoo organized a feeding of the vasiliskis, relatives, the symbol of the coming year, the dragon. our correspondent kateryna galko was also able to look at them. katya, my congratulations. so what

did basilisks taste like and are they really so similar to dragons. viewers of the tv channel, in fact, were very happy to see this feeding of the vasilivkas, because in such difficult times it was very pleasant to watch the little ones who came to see how they are fed, and we will also hear from them whether the vasilivkas are still like dragons , so in general , from now on in the capital zoo , lunch feedings of distant relatives of basilisk dragons will begin, such a special area in the aquaterrarium was specially equipped for the new 2020. fourth year, the symbol of which is a green wooden dragon. there are four sedges, one male cucumber and four females veselinka. today they were served various larvae, larvae of zoophobus and mealybugs for lunch, and in honor of the first day

of feeding, the children were allowed to pet three of these little dragons and their emotions, as well as a comment about the diet of these animals, let's hear directly from them. so very interesting, this is plant food and protein food, that is, there are also tarans, and zoophobus, and mychniak also, even small meshes are given, i put it down, how it feels to the touch, it's like this, it's very soft, as cold as a wallet. so such feedings will continue every day from today until january 7 inclusive at 13:00. also, at the zoo , everyone is encouraged to make a wish near such symbols

of the year of the basilisks and promise that it will certainly come true, and of course we took the opportunity and made our wish, and i am sincerely sure that... that it is common to all ukrainians this year, so we believe , that it will certainly come true, whether or not believe in the fulfillment of new year's wishes, i think it is necessary to think more about what a person wants and longs for, the faster it will come true. thank you, katya, for your work, thank you for the information, kateryna galko about feeding the vasiliskis in the capital's zoo, and i tell you, see you at 3 p.m., the news team monitors what is happening in ukraine and the world. in the next issue, we will tell you about the most relevant events, and my colleagues, lesya vakulyuk and andriy saichuk, will continue to work for you. dear friends,

we are back on the air, continuing our work marathon lesya vakulyuk, andriy saichuk, we work in this studio for you , you will spend the next 2.5 hours, 2.5 hours, yes, i am right, yes, yes, right, you will spend 2.5 hours in our company, we will be glad how you will join to the discussion of our ether under. broadcast of the espresso tv channel on youtube, you can also watch our broadcast there, and besides that, you can somehow react to what we are talking about and ask your questions. well, now we will ask a question to our guest, this is ihor romanenko, the founder of the charity fund zakryye nebo of ukraine, deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine in 2006-2010, and lieutenant general, he already is, so i just saw. mr. ihor is with us. mr. igor, we congratulate you. i congratulate you. mr. igor, as a matter of fact,

ukraine experienced perhaps the largest mass attack, and if i am not mistaken, the largest since february 24, 2022. russia fired with everything it could, the calibers were flying. by the way, about calibers, what did they not have time to make new calibers during this time? no, calibers. but not so much and then with carriers, well, now 16-20 rockets have already gone out there if they left, but this characterizes the influence that the defense forces of ukraine, that is , the naval forces, our security service of ukraine, for example, influenced the black sea fleet in such a way that they were forced to withdraw a large number of their ships. and ships to the port of novorossiysk and georgian

ports, which are less equipped to ensure the operation of all ships, and therefore it is known that the grain corridor is still working in our country because of this, that is, the influence has been reduced, therefore, in their own way , they have preserved, preserved a large the number of missiles, let's say... air-launched , others, and we felt it over the past day, so now, in my opinion, if they keep sea missiles, they still have them, unfortunately, they still have them , they can still use them, but probably in the future , you know, the war probably makes everyone a little, at least, but superstitious, i don't want to offend, but in principle, about a year ago, as of january, we were already in a difficult situation. the situation affected a lot of power plants, transformer centers,

entire cities were without electricity, and the attacks were very powerful, that is, dozens of missiles every week there after two or three days, that is, their supply is still running out little by little, do they understand that our air defense system has become very powerful, what is the forecast for the next couple of months? so we discussed a positive military achievement with you. this year, relative to the sea, and we can see the specific impact, and this is if the achievement of the fact that the anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense forces work appropriately , by the way, sometimes it is intertwined, that is, the attack of su-24 e-e using long-range missiles on to the great landing party. the ship that blew up in such a way that it damaged and destroyed the nearby training boat, this is

a joint operation, joint actions of the air force, and therefore the air force has significantly increased its potential, unfortunately, well, it is fundamentally impossible, especially in such a massive attack , to protect and destroy all means of air attack. but the efficiency was quite high, it is clear that we need to increase our anti-missile and air defense capabilities, but this result is a third. the cold part of winter, in which we remember what state we were in last year, well, they survived and now the situation is better, let's say, this does not mean that they have finished all their abilities to attack and strike, but it means that the potential of anti-hail anti-missile defense is cut,

we will be effective in the future, this is the second achievement of this year. by the way, we discussed this leak this week in a japanese publication, that putin allegedly told xi jinping that he was going to fight for another 5 years, at least with ukraine, before that there were also assumptions from german intelligence that 1,000 were ready for year to spend putin in this war with losses, irreversible losses of his troops, and this is a price that seems to be acceptable to him, meanwhile , british intelligence believes that the russians next, by the end of next year ... their losses will exceed half a million killed, this is a fantastically large number , and they say that this shows the degradation of the russian army, which is increasingly turning into an army not of professionals, but of cannon fodder, what do you think? well, we, these calculations show such a perspective,

perhaps it is important, to destroy and armed i make a living the strength of the enemy, but we saw in two years that even general zalushnyi spoke about it, that it was his mistake, but that the destruction, demobilization of a large number of manpower, 100, there 150, 200, should affect the state of the russian state , but taking into account how they treat their citizens, their military, this did not happen, and therefore... it is a task from the point of view of destroying such a large number of the enemy, and it would also be good to add weapons and equipment, this is an important result, and more importantly, that due to this destruction of such a number, how we will move forward, how we will achieve our goal, that is

, the deoccupation of our lands, this is an important indicator of the destruction of both and the manpower of the armed forces. equipment, but it is more important for us , say, in the first half of next year, thanks to the efforts of our allies and the production of our military-industrial complex , to collect such a large number of weapons and equipment, and due to the successful implementation of the modernized mobilization system, to call and prepare the staff that would complete the tasks for the next year, which... until the de-occupation of our lands, this is the main goal, the main goal, these are other indicators, they should complement the fulfillment of this goal. mr. general, you know, during this year, especially somewhere in the first half of it, we somehow tried to be a little more prudent and a little restrain such

not entirely justified optimism about the end of the war there this year, you remember that it was. .. seems to be the dominant opinion, and in particular, commentators from the authorities about the fact that by the end of the year the war will be ended by our victory and so on and the like, and we were then accused of sowing treason and despair here, now it seems to me that the fortuneteller has swung in the other direction, just as far from being justified, and now a lot of people emit some kind of disbelief, do we really have such a bad situation, but at the end of this year, eh, i'm talking about achievements in the air. on the sea, he said, on sukhadol, it is certainly less, the enemy, although they liberated somewhere up to 50% of the territory they captured after the 22nd year, this must be remembered, for almost two years, the enemy has continued to carry out a strategic offensive operation in the east since the end

of january, in the south a trail was added, merged and... therefore, our task is to conduct a strategic defensive operation by the defense forces of ukraine, to stop the advance the enemy , even tactical along the entire front, in fact , to destroy as much as possible, we talked about the process with you, to arm equipment and manpower, and to gain time in order to accumulate appropriate forces, means for actions for the next year, and now not illusions, but pragmatism, illusions do not need. of course, i agree with you, the pragmatism is that depending on how, when and what weapons we will be able to assemble the equipment. and for this technique, as we prepare the personnel professionally, it will be possible to plan the next

actions, including possible offensive de-occupation operations, but if it is not possible to collect much, then it will be necessary to make a decision about standing in defense, but occupy. active defense and resolve the issue of appropriate provision of e-e for further actions, that is, an approach based on what we will have in order to move forward, and only in this way. mr. igor, we will now take a short break, then we will return, continue our conversation with you, we ask you to stay in touch with us, we will further discuss the trip of volodymyr zelenskyi from avdiyivka, who recorded from there. video, how important it is and what it is, what kind of signals volodymyr zelensky is sending and to whom, but it will be after a short break, stay with us, so pay attention,

in addition, it is a demonstration to putin that, if putin has more, let's say, such a demonstrative thing happening in these small number of trips, then our commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief are often there, work, and definitely allow it... find out on the ground the level of the state, the objective state that is happening, in order to make a responsible decision in this regard. a minute yes, someone, someone is trying to call you. i remind you that we are talking with igor romanenko, lieutenant general. actually, mr. igor, while you're there, uh, while you put

the phone call on hold. maryana bezugla, a member of parliament from servants of the people, the ruling party, deputy head of the verkhovna rada's committee on national security, wrote a post that she believes that with the president, or simply without the president, but should go to avdiivka, and general zaluzhny , effectively implying that luzhny is afraid to leave, while the position of the president is unique, there is actually no one to replace him, god forbid, something will happen to him, here she is... how is luzhny, we have 200 generals, choose any one, this is the post, as usual, a lot a lot of comments, even two posts for 400 comments in this post, i am the most popular 248 likes mariana litter of yermak, just quoting as i do, 265 likes, general nemestia is zero, this is the sovkov tradition that you are fighting, thanks to which the russian federation has already lost a bunch of army leadership, what are you doing, what a fool, you are unconscious at all, on the third place 146 likes,

mariana, you can't be so... intelligent in such a position, either change or resign. nevertheless, maryana does not listen, it seems to me, to these commentators and continues confidently, i don't know, she just continues throughout the week, she has the impression that she dedicates every post, except for the post where she wrote that she is somehow there dragon, then all the posts are dedicated to valery zaluzhny. please explain whether valeriy zaluzhnyi should be in avdiivka, i don’t know to spend all days there, is it his authority, or is it... why, why doesn't he attack avdiivka, what is happening with a gun in his hand, the commander-in-chief, as the commander-in-chief according to his official duties, he has been several times, and to say that, that now he is not there and is not performing his duties, this is incorrect, besides, it is necessary, well, she is in the ministry of defense and has no experience, no relative military

management. system of military administration, the commander-in-chief general zaluzhny has under his command three commanders of the armed forces forces, land forces, general syrsky , air forces, general alyschuk and admiral neishpa, naval forces, in addition, there is a separate type of troops, such as special operations forces, amphibious assault troops, teroborony and so on, where there are commanders through... which are carried out task, so we know that the actions on sukhadol are, let's say , primarily the responsibility of general syrsky, not only in a separate direction, where there was a place and he took part in management, in general for all ground troops, which means other the commander issued we already talked about how much they were in'.
