, but this year is coming to an end, we are preparing to turn this page and, no matter what, look to the coming year with hope, and let's start with a roll call and find out how this year passed night, it was not so simple everywhere, the act of revenge is actually difficult to differentiate, the russians conducted a shelling of the center of kharkiv. indiscriminately and causing damage to civilian objects, well, let's start with donbass and luhansk oblast, roman vlasenko, the head of the north-donetsk district military administration, will join us now, he is already joining him, let me remind you that the situation in kharkiv is as follows, as of this morning, the mayor of the city, terikhov, reports that as a result of the attack by russian drones in the city center, several buildings were

seriously damaged, the cafe itself was attacked, residential buildings and offices, one of the largest hotels as well, many people were injured, there are also victims, even among foreigners who were in that hotel, in a word, we will definitely talk about it today, here, well, now... also we will have odessa in touch today, we will talk with kherson oblast, dnipro, and we hope that stepan barno will also be with us today, a serviceman who is in the armed forces, and actually whose brother is a people's deputy, who so volunteered himself and died under these during this war, what gentlemen. and you know, andrei, what i wanted to say, the foreign press reacted quite interestingly to

what happened in belgorod, for some reason i always want to call it belgrade, in belgorod, and the reaction is kind of strange, after those two years, after to everything that the russians are doing and continue to malign the ukrainian people, because in the occupation the same things are continuing that... they saw and the whole world saw in buch or in mariupol or in izyum, and yesterday they said, how come the ukrainians , but now the ukrainians suddenly became as heartless as and russians, here troshchynska interviewed hrytsak, it seems so, and he says that there is a rule of three generations, which means that the third generation after the great war does not remember the circumstances or. war , does not understand the context of the war, does not understand what his grandfathers and great-grandfathers, great-grandmothers and great-grandmothers experienced,

well, in a word, that person does not understand that, and accordingly he already measures himself by his standards, the standards of three generations of a peaceful environment, so i understand these emotions, they say, listen, well, ukrainians are super people, they are not at all like muscovites, they will never even come close to shooting, if there is even the slightest. that somewhere will fall into some civilian object and die a child or a civilian, a citizen of the russian federation, but my friends, during the second world war, the city of dresden was destroyed simply, simply to the foundations, and in addition to the city of dresden, there were aachen, for example, completely destroyed and many other german cities were completely destroyed, they, they were not destroyed by muscovites, they were destroyed by the bombing of allied aircraft, it was british aircraft, it was american aviation. and if many civilians died there , then of course they died, but did

it seem fair at that time for the british, in particular, in the first place, who were terribly shelled and bombed by the germans throughout the war from the 40th year, starting from if i'm not mistaken, obviously it seemed to them absolutely fair, because it was a war not for life, not for life, death, and in this war it was necessary to survive, whether there were, well, that is... this is one of the contexts , about which i wanted to say, you know, here i also see that there is a good russian who writes there , whom i also follow on twitter, er, yan matviev, such a... columnist, military man, journalist, who absolutely seems to be pro-ukrainian and so on, but pro-ukrainian means that he supports ukraine in this war and wishes for the defeat of the russian armed forces, he sincerely wishes, but for example, he is very worried about the fate of navalny and so on, but at the same time he also wrote yesterday that those people who were so angry and

are upset after the attack on ukraine, or are these the same people who... today are happy about the attack on belgorod, when peaceful residents and people died as well, well listen, but it seems to me that in this case it is still impossible to compare the russians, the ukrainians, that is, the russians came to us with the war, yes, but we should calmly observe that that they kill our relatives, or military, or civilians, but in this there is a certain, well , to turn the other cheek or something, we have to be somehow superior to this situation all the time, is there any justice in the fact that russia? who support this war from the very beginning, because ukrainians, no ukrainian supports the war, no ukrainian was going to conquer moscow, is it true, and is there justice in the fact that at least somehow the russians are beginning to feel what an air raid is in general, what it is like when you go and see a rocket falling on your city, and this an experience that

hundreds of thousands of ukrainians already have with their own eyes. gentlemen, roman vlasenko, the head of the sivorodonetsk district military administration, is already with us. he is on the phone. mr. roman, good morning to you, good morning, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes. sir roman, we are talking here with andrii about the fact that foreign journalists, some of them, condemned the ukrainians for the fact that bielgorod was attacked by the ukrainian side yesterday, which caused your emotions. these shots you saw from belgorod? well, of course, any civilian casualties are bad, but again, there is an understanding that the armed forces of ukraine work only on military facilities, we saw it many times there and on the battlefield in the occupied luhansk region, in crimea and on the attack on

military facilities on the territory of the russian federation. i think yesterday's events are that that is, when the military infrastructure of the russian federation was destroyed, and in connection with the work of the russian air defense, there are victims among the civilian population. i don't think that we have such a resource to destroy civilian infrastructure in russian cities, at...points, so i think that the blame and responsibility for what is happening in the russian federation, which started with their aggression on territory of ukraine. severodonetsk, from that sever-donetsk that you remember, in your opinion, how different is it, if

he was released, for example, tomorrow and you were able to visit your hometown? well , i think that it differs in that there are very few local residents remaining there at the moment, it differs in that some neighborhoods of this city are very battered, i think that some part of the people have already gone there and most likely will not return, and modern city. which got a chance to develop before the russian armed aggression, i think that in terms of economy, in terms of personnel potential , it has degraded a lot, and there is a lot of work in this direction ahead of us, er, actually, mr. roman, i would like to ask, what are your general

moods before the new year, what are your hopes for the new year? well, i think that the military command, the political leadership of ukraine, in principle, in preparation for the 24th year, determined that this will still be the year of our defense, but we know the talent of our military, when in defense you can destroy the enemy, you can advance , it is possible to liberate our settlements, therefore in general. well, if the situation is perhaps not as festive as we would like, maybe last year we are bigger entered the new year with euphoria, because they were so bright. victories in kharkiv region and kherson region, but in general, i think that ukraine has become stronger militarily, in terms of our air defense, in terms of the fact that

there are no large gaps in the front line and the russian federation did not gain any serious gains, they actually lost completely initiative in the black sea over crimea. i think that we have more light this year than last year, i think that there are certain such optimistic moods, well, it is me, i i have already answered several times, including to you, that i do not understand how in our work it is possible to be innocent in our victories and in the ukrainian army, therefore only faith in the armed forces of ukraine, in the support of our international partners, and in there can be no other way, well, be the armed forces, support the armed forces, and do everything for ukraine to win. thank you mr. roman for the conversation, roman

vlasenko, head of the severodonetsk district military administration, we wish you and all of us a peaceful next year, we wish you, let's go you know, faith is such a concept, it, it is generally tied to the church to a certain extent of life, the truth, and this is what it... teaches us, for example, that it is useful even for people who do not have has nothing to do with the church, it is that faith cannot be passive and contemplative, faith must always be active and active, this is a very important point, because believing, so to speak, patriots on the stove is an old ukrainian expression, and always something to do for these armed forces of ukraine and for their country, in general, which is at war. thank you, let's go pause, there are 10% discounts on tsvetromondarnytsia in

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. the new year, i started there, as if it were not my own, well, it’s like some kind of labyrinth, i ’m lonely, be my friend, you hear what it’s about, free psychological help for children during the war in the children’s voices charity fund, contact by phone well ... 800, 210, 106.

well, dear friends, we are returning to the stage , continuing our roll call, now we will move to... shchyna serhiy brachuk, the spokesman of the ukrainian volunteer army south, will join us, and we will ask him how the night in odesa was, because the day before again the russians hit odesa, they hit the enterprise there, and in addition, the number of victims who were during the mass attack, it

will also increase in the city. what is with these people now, we will ask serhii bratchuk about it all. meanwhile, as we have already said about what was just said, by the way, roman lasenko, it is interesting that the ministry of defense of the russian federation in relation to belgrade confirmed that all these destructions and casualties occurred as a result of the poor work of its own anti-aircraft defense, and to really believe that such a great destruction was caused ukrainian missile forces, of course, are very, so to speak. it would be flattering and nice to think that we already have such a powerful one, but whether it really is, it is difficult to say, nevertheless, the alder could really get there. serhiy brachuk is already with us, spokesman of the ukrainian volunteer army, mr. serhiy, good morning, glory to ukraine, glory to the armed forces, congratulations to my colleagues, glory to the heroes, tell me how the night passed and whether it was quiet and peaceful, well it was not quiet and peaceful,

the enemy attacked. saheds, we now expect the air force to give the final picture of what was destroyed, and it was in odesa, mykolaiv oblast, that many drones were shot down, i know that 21 mines were destroyed in ukraine, well , i actually said that the vast majority were shot down here, in the south, and this is another achievement of our anti-aircraft forces defenses, which are certainly not from the analog category , but work perfectly, as well as mobile fire. groups that are proving their effectiveness, for a very long time we had an air alarm signal, the enemy tried to retrace the routes of these shaheds, then flew past us, then returned to odesa, mykolayiv region, there were also shaheds in kherson region, but you see, and i will say it again , the vast majority was still destroyed, and in the evening too, the enemy reminded us that he still had missiles, they attacked with a missile from tactical aviation k-59, unfortunately, this time the plane escaped.

managed to do it, i hope the next one will not succeed, a rocket hit one of the enterprises, the most important thing was that no one was hurt, and this rocket served as another reminder for those who at that time, ignoring the air warning signals, were walking in shopping centers, and then after a loud, let's say such a sound, we had to run as fast as possible to the exit, and i hope that it will be such, you know, a lesson for people, when we turn another calendar of our struggle, another page and step further. mr. serhiy, the fact that such a restless night was in odessa, do you associate it with what happened in belgorod, or is it still such a normal night for odessa, and what would you say, for example, to foreign media , who yesterday, looking at the footage, broadcasting these footage from belgorod, not all of them,

of course, but... a large part said: how come, how could the ukrainians do that? well, first of all, i would teach them to say glory to ukrainian air defense, this is the most important thing, and bad air defense in the russian federation, and here are the arguments, they are obvious, that the war is returning there, where did she come from, i think we need to talk about it, talk about it calmly, we can talk about it calmly, and you know, those, especially, even in our country, i read, there are those who , how come, ay-ay-ay , there for... children died, they did not die from us, they died from russian anti-aircraft defense, russia itself admitted this, they died from someone who loves these children, kisses them on camera, they died from being responsible for every russian has all this, and for me personally, you know, this is another conviction, really every russian must be responsible for what they did to us in ukraine, so i can...
