greetings, friend, i am marichka padelko, a tv presenter and mother of three children. i'm sorry i don't know your name, i'd like to know what kind of work you did before the full-scale war, what coffee, drank and what you dreamed about, but i know something else: one day you went to defend what was dear to you and to all of us, our ukraine. my husband. it's the same at the front, and i understand what difficult trials the war forces to pass every day. your wound hurts me, i really want you to get well, and the least i can do for that is to share my blood. i do this very sincerely and with only one note. thank you, hero. hospitals need donated blood every day. one donor can save three lives. donate blood. save the hero

5 o'clock in the morning at the studio clock and we will now continue the topic of sports as a weapon, because the very use of sports as a weapon is very russian, because their athletes openly support the regime, the sports grounds of competitions become a full-fledged battlefield for political games of propaganda, and this is all this, at least, becomes the start of wars. real ones, like the olympics, so how russia uses sports for its own aggression and what the olympics are for, here anna brykova will tell in detail. august 8, 2008, the beginning of the olympic games in beijing and the start of russia's attack on georgia. and the russian athletes were not even suspended, the georgian ones also competed, despite the fear for their relatives, because the refusal to participate in the games could lead to the disqualification of the country from the olympics for 8-12 years. the 2014 olympic winter games

ended on february 23 in the russian city of sochi. then russia began an attempt to annex ukrainian crimea and began to stir things up aggression in donbas. and this is a kind of russian tradition through the generations, because the soviet union also launched an intervention in afghanistan on the eve of the olympics, which it was holding. we well remember that emotional, spiritual uplift. which was given to us by the moscow olympics of 1980, the great inspiring spirit of the olympic games is returning to us again, but i just forgot that at that time it was boycotted by fifty countries, but the aggression against another country was repeated . the olympics, in general, or any positive participation, is a very important component of image formation... of the state in general, for them

it is a battlefield, that is, they fight on it exactly the same as if they were fighting on another. the trend continued in 2022, because it was after the end of the next olympics that russia invaded the territory of ukraine on a full scale. the day before, the russians were conducting military exercises near the borders. zmi directly wrote: the chinese leader, they say, asked not to spoil the olympics in beijing, as was the case in 2008, because the intention the kremlin dictator with his perverted love for symbolism, similar to... got it. thus, on the eve of the invasion of ukraine , the russians supported their own at the olympics. by the way, against the background of another doping scandal. later, in addition to doping, attention was also paid to the affiliation of russian athletes to the armed forces. they wear a uniform, use it, receive military ranks. all this is presented as a career, as a pride, as a joy, as a matter of course, practically, no one, especially on this... paid attention to the

moment when russia began open aggressive actions against their neighbors. many sports associations are supervised by the ministry of defense of the russian federation. they never hide it. and they even actively used those hobbies, receive awards from the hands of both shuigu and putin, and are not ashamed to declare their support for aggression. for example, after the olympics in beijing, when russia already started a full-scale war against ukraine. not everyone in the world likes it, that's obvious. conflict situations with other athletes, when the regime considers them an enemy. it became an eloquent incident provocation at the world championship. they do it on purpose. the harlan oil situation is a situation that was thought out, i'm sure, that was designed and used so that... actually, how would

the russians behave in the competitions that they would be allowed to go to. and the international olympic committee finally allowed russians and belarusians to participate in the 2020 summer olympics. 24 in paris in a neutral status, without a uniform, without an anthem and without a flag, so the competition has every chance of becoming a platform for an aggressive russian propaganda, those athletes who are allowed to compete, they even support this propaganda, when they go out with these marks, badges, yes on the pedestal, and instead provoke ukrainians to a reaction, the ukrainian foreign ministry even made a list of athletes who in one way or another to.. .to support russian aggression, attract athletes from different countries, especially ukrainian ones, to the inadmissibility of their admission. we are losing our people, our people are dying, our athletes are dying, they want to perform, and our athletes are leaving and defend our country, the blood is on their hands, and

this will remain in everyone's memory for many centuries, i think. it was russian rockets that killed kateryna tabashnyk's mother and deprived the athlete. home, and if the world does not hear us, we must go and fight them. sport is not, not outside of politics, as they say, we have the opportunity to win, win medals, stand on the podium, attract journalists and inform the world what is happening in ukraine, that there is a war. meanwhile, some russian athletes themselves want to boycott the olympic games, because they will be without the flag it is difficult to pour propa. gang and dazzle the world with so-called greatness, moreover, the kremlin itself already wants to create its own olympics, world friendship games in parallel, because they understand that as long as the war against ukraine continues, as long as there are temporarily occupied territories, they will not normally participate in sports competitions, well are trying to create some kind of alternative and undermine

the olympic movement in general and, by the way, demonstrate to the leadership of this movement of the international olympic committee that if you do not accept us at least in this way, then we will go somewhere in side and together with the money, because continue to promote its narratives, russia wants to turn a blind eye to its aggression. anna brykova, yevhenii olinskyi: we are ukraine, marathon, single news. well, let's continue by saying that the russians should know what price they are actually paying for the war in ukraine. it's not just the hundreds of thousands of deaths on the battlefield and those forced to flee from putin's regime. it's also a bleak economic future for those who remain. this was stated by the adviser, ambassador of the us mission during the meeting of the un security council. ordinary russians also bear the burden of the kremlin's brutal war, just as we openly discuss this issue in this room, putin must also be honest with his people about the real and growing cost of his war, a war of his choosing that aims

to seize the sovereign territory of another un member state . john kelly, adviser-envoy of the us mission to the un. well, now to great britain. the british party maintains its lead over british prime minister risha sunak's conservatives in the 2024 election. this is evidenced by the survey results, writes bloomberg. 45% potential voters would support labor compared to 23% who support the tories. according to journalists, the popularity of labor is increasing due to the record low rating of sunac among members of his own party. the reason is primarily the cost of living crisis. because more than half of respondents, 54%, said they felt worse now than they did two years ago, and the belief that the government should prioritize solving the cost of living problem more than any other problem, i will note in early december

rishisunak's approval rating among activists his conservative party reached -25% points, which is the lowest figure since the beginning of his term. next, we add to the conversation an international political scientist, dmytro levych , we are on the phone, we congratulate you, mr. dmytro, our congratulations, yes, congratulations, but i would like to start not with the sunak, but precisely with the un security council convened by russia, i will now express what i saw in principle, and you can help me figure out if i understood correctly, in fact only brazil and china called on both sides for peace, all other countries in one way or another... called putin guilty of shelling of belgrade took place, and accordingly he was called upon to urgently withdraw troops from ukraine. did i understand the results of this consultation correctly, or did i see something wrong? well,

i have roughly similar impressions, especially since, for example, the reaction of the minister of foreign affairs of the czech republic, directly. before the meeting of the un security council, when he, when russia tried to summon the czech republic there due to the fact that they allegedly used... the muscovites are talking about this, who wrote that russia will not call us anywhere, and they do not have such a right, we will come there when they announce that they are withdrawing their troops, in principle yes. i think that it is possible to talk about such a result, well, indeed

, traditional russian propaganda, which, moreover, and now, is more and more inclined to such criminal or semi-criminal jargon and all actions, well, and again, you know, it was very revealing that a... earlier the russians did not talk about that ukraine is a co-founder of the un, here they mention and again and again mention that stalin did this, and they say comrade stalin, yes, that is , a very interesting moment is so revealing, firstly , it shows that stalin is an icon for them, and the second moment , by the way, here you are here and think about it, what is it? well, the fact that all this is happening is because there was no

accountability for stalin in russia, for his crimes , there was no such trial against nazism. actually, mr. dmytro, recalling the example of the czechs, and their desire to come only when the russian federation, i will now quote, will want to discuss the withdrawal of its occupation troops to... bezi, they will come with joy, tell me, in theory, what is the danger of spreading about this example of the czech republic, well, on the one hand, it is indicative, because shows the level of disrespect for the country of the aggressor, on the other hand, the country of the aggressor has more time to promote its racist theses, well, you know, i also thought about the fact that some time ago it would have been ... in principle impossible, because after all, there are some yes there, well, protocols, yes, necessity

after all, it’s a playground, but i don’t think that this , that this is exactly a danger, yes, yes, well, there is a time, there is a time, yes, they promote, that’s how they promote and do it all the time, what about me , that is, it is, you know, not this , it is not the creation of a precedent, it is not that russia has time, it is a threat in itself, yes, an action or there is some danger, it is rather something else, it is a testimony, it is rather, this is a symptom and evidence of the fact that the importance of the site is becoming less and less, yes, it is like that in principle, because it was created. as the representative of ukraine at the un, mr. kyslytsia, the ambassador said that, what did you expect from

the platform that was created in the 45th year by the winners, where everything was done so that there was a balance between these winners who did not agree with each other, yes, in the end, that is it is not so that others have a big, yes, there is a big right to vote, the way the law is formulated and the statute. yes, it is logical, procedurally everything is created in this way, so you know, i would not start talking about what is here now, that it creates some kind of danger, rather, this in itself is evidence of how everything looks in the world , it is more like a symptom and actions of such a plan in relation to russia, until new rules of the game are established. they, they should be like that, that is, i think that this and that is absolutely

logical, huh, and here, by the way, i will also quote dmytro polyanskyi, he is the representative of russia at the un, he wrote on twitter before the security council that his the country demands an emergency meeting and accused ukraine of killing civilians, that's the quote, with the help of ammunition from the czech republic, that's exactly what you said, and here it is necessary, well, first of all to figure out, and what in principle could be ukraine's fault, why couldn't russia have done it, firstly, and secondly, the murders of civilians, and it doesn't bother polyansky that... the day before yesterday, he literally kills like this civilians of ukraine thanks to its massive missile attacks and drone attacks, but it does not bother him, it turns out, yes, yesterday, and today, every day, and today kharkiv, the usual is not something that does not bother, yes, you know, such a somewhat paradoxical thing , yes, not so

long ago, i also had to participate in certain discussions here to take part in not only , by the way, there with the russians, but in absentia it is now possible, although there is no sense in most of these discussions, but in order to understand the average temperature in the chamber, it is sometimes necessary, and for example, in moldova, supporters of the russian peace, then they , well, first of all, they are sincerely convinced that russia can afford much more, yes, that is, they even... well, that is, these are the ones who, next to russia, have to think all the time, think, no matter what to do so that russia is not offended, they are also sincerely convinced that the weight putin as a president is much bigger than another, that is, all these conversations about

humanitarianism, international humanitarian law, about law, about the un charter, yes, it’s all the same, but it... but it’s different, yes, here and that’s why for them and here it is and by the way from some smelly drunkard from sizran to this very deputy representative of polyansky yes this is clearly to nibenzi personally and well and again all the more by the way here again here it looks regardless. on the blood in no way ironic, also because it is not immediately before that, nibenzya told that all these tragedies were due to the fact that ukraine used air defense incorrectly, otherwise it would still hit military targets, what the muscovites send, and

there were no victims among the civilian population, here is a surprise, everything can be said both ways, and by the way. does it still arise, in fact yes, yes, there is no evidence , there is also a question, that, in belgorod there, it is they, as a result of being beaten, or as a result of being hit like that, or in general, maybe they themselves shot for that , so that to demonstrate, yes, to the world in order to bring down this heat, that's why here, here, there is a lot to talk about, yes, that is, this is really the... situation it looks like, and, but here is a sincere conviction that they have such rights , yes, this, this is what they have, this is what it is, and it should be fixed, it should not be like this. mr. dmitriy, let's talk about great britain and the fate of the current prime minister of the united kingdom . let's discuss the chances of kier starmer, the leader

of the labor party. what do you think about the election of the new prime minister? here it's just the same financial times, which we have already mentioned, as well as his glorious forecasts for 2024, but it concerns kirr starmer, journalists and observers say in their forecast that mr. sunak will not be able to resist, the question is, will this change anything for us or not, because from what i see, mr. starmer is the same, the same friend, supporter and supporter of great support for ukraine itself. like mr. sumnak? well , it's hard for me to say, yes, because i'm honest, i'm not immersed in the internal politics of great britain, although, well, again, about the fact that you know, it is really possible to make such forecasts, at least as of now, but i also

do not think that there will be major changes in the system. which foreign policy, despite certain party changes even there, it is quite stable, and in this particular case , the confrontation with the russian federation is quite fundamental, by the way, here again we can mention that in the russian federation there are many are shouting about what exactly about the role... of britain, and in general there are all kinds of political scientists, alcoholics like markov shouting that this is a war with great britain, that is, well... and now it is still being added here and there, so i think that it is unlikely that there will be big changes, especially in the context of the fact that

these accusations are already constant from the side of the russian federation, and they also make it impossible yes, some contact with the kremlin, thank you, mr. dmytro, for joining the conversation, dmytro levoch, he is a political scientist. international, he was on live video, thanks. well, now about the fact that more than three dozen destroyed aerial targets over kyiv alone are the results of our work air defense forces in the morning of december 29 during the most massive attack, and despite the titanic efforts of our defenders, destruction could not be avoided. vlad velichko saw how the russians terrorize the people of kyiv and destroy even unfinished houses. instead of broken windows , plywood or chipboard is now installed in... and there is not a single fragment around. this is the titanic work of our utility workers, who did their best to eliminate the consequences of the russian morning

attack on december 29. the explosions here in lukyanivka rang out on friday around eight in the morning. we were in the subway and felt the explosions, directly being deep underground, the floor was shaking, everything around in the subway was shaking. the entrance to the station was damaged. the subway, a fast food restaurant, a business center and non-residential buildings, the car was smashed by debris, i ran into the subway to wait for the air alarm, when i got out, i saw that there was no glass, the windshield, and the rear, and the fender, and the hood were damaged, but this it's not so important how much trouble these rockets have brought across the country today. dozens of utility workers cleaning the streets are at the scene. the police are interviewing the victims, forensic experts are collecting things evidence, just a few hours after the attack

, traffic on the blocked streets was restored, and despite the mutilated buildings, life around is bubbling again. this is another place of destruction caused by russian missiles, one of the sleeping areas of kyiv, here the wreckage hit an unfinished building. we see a hot wreck flying. falls into the roof of the building, breaks through two floors and is thrown to the other side. one of the builders says that a piece of the wall of the house destroyed after the explosion broke through the glass of his excavator, he says, it was born in his shirt. this is where i was, i wanted to get out, turned back with a barrette, and it's a good thing that it didn't hit the head, because it was, it was pierced with a fragment, i threw it away. and a piece of concrete, then he just hit his feet. the men say there's still debris from an enemy missile on the roof, so we're going up there.

but this is a fragment of a russian rocket that fell on a high-rise building in borshchagivka. the building itself has not yet been put into operation, it is still under construction, and the rocket landed right on its roof on the 23rd floor, after which several walls collapsed here, and of course there was a large-scale fire. the air attack on december 29 is the most massive. by the entire history of the full-scale war with russia. in total, our defenders destroyed 27 enemy attack uavs. shahet 136 and 131 and 88 cruise missiles, kh-101, kh-555 and kh-55 throughout the territory of ukraine. there are three dozen air targets above kyiv itself. vladyslav velychko, danylo horodetskyi, kostyantyn tsarenok. we are ukraine, marathon, single news. ukraine. ukraine plans to make more weapons next year, for this the government is working with international partners, volodymyr zelenskyi said, the solutions that are being developed for the implementation of the next

year with international partners will be strong - the president added. direct speech. we are preparing to make more weapons next year. we already have a clear schedule for our international work in january. we work with our partners on the solutions they need. every ukrainian soldier, all our people, our state, and these decisions will be, will be strong, and now we are adding ivan tymochka to the conversation, this is a military serviceman and the head of the reservist council of the land wispin in direct communication, our greetings, good morning, good health i, glory to ukraine, comradeship, glad to see, glory to the heroes, glory to the heroes, to each other, mr. ivan, let's just start with the armament in general, then we will go into details. and what we don't have yet, but we really wanted, if we 're talking about the weapons that the ground forces need, i'm emphasizing exactly

that. and what would you like more? actually in terms of weapons, in terms of weapons , everything is always needed, from the banal small-arms ammunition, to aviation, because there is even army aviation, actually the structure of the ground forces, so that the entire nomenclature of weapons, all types and types of weapons that are possible and necessary in order to effectively destroy the enemy and defend the territory, they are needed. of course, that now this is the main focus, it was good that it was set, let's say, on the release of a new range of unmanned aerial vehicles, especially at the tactical and operational levels, this is also very important, because this is a new type of weapon, we can say, massive , a new, new massive type of weapon that is currently used on the battlefield to

destroy as a single player. and mass goals, of course, it is important to have a high-quality and effective one the system of radio-electronic warfare of radio-electronic intelligence, because in modern conditions, communication is extremely necessary, and in modern combat conditions, it is extremely necessary to monitor the actual situation, as we have an example of strikes on the rear of ukraine by the same missiles, of different types, types of the same ones and there operational or strategic level of drones, this is also necessary in order to establish and maintain communication between the ground forces and the air forces, eh, of course, to single out some type of weapon or to single out the need for a specific nomenclature plan is very difficult, because, for example, for

artillerymen, these are extremely necessary shells. for the scouts of the region, the constant arrival of actual radio equipment, electron observation, for the tankers there are tanks that bypass the border, of course, in the war we are currently having, it is not worth talking about a crisis in armaments, but we also perfectly understand that it is necessary to build up the potential and it must grow , if we want to win this war. and if, say, earlier we also had the support of allies and counted on it, now it is necessary when the situation, i won’t say that it is stabilized, but when the situation has become quite seriously clear, let’s say, in terms of what russia is preparing or what it is counting on, what potential russia is counting on or the potential of supporting its allies, of course,

what is needed... and we must establish a mass, mass production of weapons in order to be less dependent on our allies and, on the other hand, it is also clear that the new prototypes , the same unmanned aircraft, these the prototypes themselves, let's say, are very good, if only ground unmanned controlled vehicles for evacuating the wounded from the battlefield or for actual delivery were more developed. there , at least a level supply of weapons to the tactical level and to increase communication between units, of course it would be very, very good. ugh. mr. ivan, then you can elaborate , when we talk there about joint solutions, more precisely, the president, when he talks about joint, strong, or rather, solutions for ukraine together with partners, it is not difficult to guess what types of weapons are being talked about, that what ukraine needs, but when is the president says that ukraine is preparing

to produce next year. more weapons, then what objective weapons can ukraine produce on its own and for what purpose, more precisely, will these weapons, which it can produce on its own, be enough for ukraine? i will say right away, there are enough ukrainian weapons, the weapons of the allies will not be in this phase, probably never, in excess, that's for sure, on the other hand, we have our own defense industry system, where in essence. more than three dozen or even four dozen enterprises engaged in production, as, say, with jet salvo systems fire, we also have a very well -established production system, for example, the same anti-tank weapons, er, the same mortars, and small arms, of course, which we have and produce...
