the communal services, they recently brought some actually new building materials, which will actually be, with which they will actually work with... some people little by little, but we talked today with a volunteer who told us about what they managed to do in these two days, and said that tomorrow they will return here again and continue to work, let's listen to the direct language, they started yesterday sewing windows, with cleaning garbage wherever there was access, because access was not everywhere yesterday, then we communicated with the police, they gave the go-ahead to continue. works were already done where the territory was closed, and today there is already such a large amount of work, there was a lot of garbage on the street, we threw a lot of it from the windows, well, the process is very difficult and long, in general, it is also known

that about a hundred were used rolls of film, which were used to seal the windows, about 600 osb boards were also used, and currently the work is ongoing and will continue tomorrow, more detailed information about how many more volunteers will work here will be available tomorrow, but they say that there is a lot of work and if not... even their work will end, utility services will still work here, in general, i also want more to note that headquarters have been opened nearby, where injured people are received, there you can get warm, eat, charge mobile phones, as well as receive psychological help and write applications for compensation, such information was reported in the local raid state administration, that's all for now the information i have as of now, colleagues, you have the floor. well, thank you, karina , once again we make sure that as a group we can eliminate any consequences, unfortunately,

we will not get our lives back, but we will still rebuild everything, and we will actually return everything to our stable life, but unfortunately, the situation is repeated and in other cities, we will talk about this later, thank you, yes, because in kharkiv , as a result of enemy shelling, 62 people were injured, including six children, and a 91-year-old woman died. these are the data of the regional military administration: two adults are in... 55 high-rise buildings were severely damaged in the city, more than 200 windows were broken in apartments and about 700 in public places. the previous evening, the occupiers shelled kharkiv again, hit the city with s-300 missiles, partially destroyed the school building of the osnovyansky district, the explosion damaged the windows of neighboring residential buildings, and luckily there were no casualties. ukrainian defenders destroyed the kh-59 guided air missile. over the city of dnipro, this was reported in the eastern air command. the target was shot down at 2:20 p.m. earlier, an alarm was announced in the region

due to the activity of enemy tactical aviation in the eastern and south-eastern directions and the threat of using air weapons . later it was reported that a rocket was flying towards the dnipro. volodymyr orlov, the first deputy head of the dnipropetrovsk regional military administration, is already in touch with us. mr. volodymyr, we congratulate you. congratulations. so, really, as my colleague just said. reported about the explosions in the dnipro, reported in the air force of the armed forces of ukraine that the kh-59 air missile was shot down over city, tell us about how that day passed and possibly about the consequences, were there any hits from possibly broken fragments of this rocket? indeed, the situation in the region is difficult, but under control, as you already said, our air defense forces shot down the missiles. over the dnipro district, there are no consequences related to this downing, but the enemy

continues to terrorize the nikopol region, we had four artillery fire today, as well as four unmanned aerial vehicles, damaged multi-story buildings, many damaged private houses , power lines and solar panels and cars. the trend is such that if last year , let's say, the russians tried to survive in the winter period, when the cold is already coming, in objects of critical infrastructure, energy objects, now they are just hitting wherever they can, is there an understanding of where this missile was directly headed , before she was shot down? uh, there is no such understanding at the moment, but i want to say that if we take an example. of the shelling that happened on december 29, you all saw that

there suffered most of all, it is a shopping center, a medical institution, a maternity hospital, that is, none, let’s say, there is no sense in hitting residential areas at all, and if we are talking about the attack on january 1, yes, when the russians attacked the dnipropetrovsk region with drones, they hit and damaged the enterprise. power lines, what is the situation with the restoration of power supply for the residents of the region? tell me about it yes, indeed, the drone hit the power transmission line in the kamyan district, the pyatikhat community, 1,500 families were left without power, but the electricians and utilities worked properly and everything has already been restored, that is, the situation in the region is completely under control. as well as nikopol, as an example i will give the nikopol district, where

critical infrastructure objects are constantly hit, but the task is such that within a day we will fix it, and then provide light in the homes of our residents. if you compare what is happening in different cities, well, in particular, there was the last massive rocket attack on the capital, there were more than 300 apartments in just one building damaged, regarding the attack on december 29, how? is the restoration of the damaged buildings going on, are there, well, let's say, real chances for the residents there to return to their homes in the near future, is it a complete restoration, or is it repairs, that's what is happening now there at... well, let's be honest, everything has worked properly, the utility workers and all the relevant services, local self-government bodies , as well as benefactors have provided film, provided osb boards to cover the windows, because over 1,500 windows have been broken, so far we can

to state that by the end of the week, more than 200 windows will have been installed, heat has already been restored to all the houses, i also found information from forecasters, they say that snow and frost are coming to the dnipro, well , actually how for the entire territory of ukraine, for sure, tell me whether the infrastructure of the region is ready to meet the needs of the people, what about the so-called points of inviolability and to what extent everything is provided there and ready to receive people in case of need. the region prepared for any conditions and weather, first of all, critical infrastructure facilities are provided with appropriate protection, so that we can survive not only the winter, but also possible attacks on critical infrastructure. more than 1,300 points of inviolability, which are already working in the territory of the region, were audited,

looked over, they are equipped with everything necessary, in case of any situation, residents will be able to turn to them. to warm up, drink hot tea, get any advice, also ready-made equipment of more than 700 pieces of equipment, fuel, a certain reserve of fuel and lubricant materials and anti- icing means, that is, the region is fully prepared for bad weather, well, the very end, you know, when in kyiv, for example, the air-raid alarm signal is activated, everyone hears the siren, then you can see how people are waiting there in the underpasses, hiding or in... flight attendants, that is, in principle , mostly kyivites and guests try not to ignore these signals, how do the townspeople react in the dnipro? not in the same way as in kyiv, i want to tell you that this is really a problem, we are provided with all shelters, there are both in cities and in districts, but people most of them are neglected, enemy attacks,

and here is this attack on the 29th. in december , she showed that it is necessary to respond to any air alarm signals. well, thank you, your truth, and we hear constant calls from the authorities to take shelter, not to ignore these very signals, this applies not only to large cities, but to any populated areas where this same siren sounds. mr. volodymyr, thank you for joining the broadcast, volodymyr orulov, first deputy chairman of the dnipropetrovsk regional military administration. well, actually, if we mentioned about signals air alert, let's talk about the fact that right now in ukraine , an air alert signal is spreading through our territory, in particular , we see that the donetsk, kharkiv, and poltava regions are under threat of shelling, as well as the oleksandriysk community of the kirovohrad region and the nikopol district of the dnipropetrovsk region in the air force of the armed forces ukraine is informed that

there is now a threat of using ballistic weapons from the east, so as well as the representative of... dnipropetrovsk ova, as well as you, nazar, as well all authorities, we urge our viewers not to ignore the air warning signals. yes, we are monitoring the situation regarding air alarms, but we are also monitoring the situation, thanking our guests, for the situation in the east, in particular where the hostilities are active in the south, in the east, let's talk now with oleksandr posivny pryvyd, the commander of the sniper platoon of the presidential ghosts brigades we welcome you. congratulations good evening, ukraine, happy new year to everyone. yes, you have already surpassed each other, in principle, our first. question, if we talk about the eastern direction, and the semi-southern direction as well, a lot of fighters, this very new year is already the 24th, for the second time they met at the positions, and finally, at the positions of the restraining enemy, was it felt or is it felt now some kind of festive mood, after all , the baptism is already ahead, with what moods were met, well

, let's face it, the feeling of the new year is absent here. it is completely a normal working day, well, our guys met everyone at work, and 30-31 and the first and the second, and well, it’s like that all the time, so you know, day where night, where a holiday where it is not a holiday, it is not felt, but somehow they congratulated each other, do you have any stories and some people who congratulated and that made it special, what? we know that i personally also handed over packages with children's drawings in the front line, and i know that our soldiers really appreciate such small children's presents. what do you say about this? no, well, there are many relatives, close friends, and friends who sent greetings for the new year, there were many parcels with children's drawings, by

the way, we value these drawings very much, because they warm us more where there are dugouts, where there are moments like these, when you look at them, you relax a little bit mentally, but you understand, that feeling of the new year, well... it is not present here, you know, in relation to the service itself and your work , the russians didn’t raise any questions about the conditions and work, and that’s a fact, there are only burnt stones left, nowadays, by the way, there is no forest, because it’s winter under such conditions, do you, like snipers, manage to set up positions, well let's say there closer to the enemy, v under what conditions it seems to work now, well , regarding the position, look... there was always a clear line, and well, our military, our armed forces have arranged positions, which are quite good, that's why, well, we sometimes use already

arranged positions, arranged, and as for direct exits, most of us do not work from positions , we work somewhere, well, mostly from the bushes, there are some plantings left, they are covered with snow right now , that is, where... you know, well, places where it is possible to make masking, that is well, we use them. and there are different, let's say, skis, in addition to skills, there are also technical means that help in your work, in particular there is such a story as antisniping, let's use such a term as countering the most important process of the enemy, especially when, let's say, we use, even now, yes, as once upon a time. these are the first, perhaps the second, world wars, mannequins, fairy tales on sticks, the question of western systems, modern systems of combating enemy snipers, how is it all relevant to us today

it looks like, i once read that we received, for example, some french systems in limited quantity, but they are there, they are on the training grounds, where our snipers are trained, and what is happening directly on the contact line at the front with this, well , look at anti-sniper work... as a rule , snipers are used directly, because if we take our unit as an example, the unit is sufficiently equipped with technical means, that is, thermal observations of various kinds, yes, with their help, professional a military sniper, he is able to identify, find, that is, determine the location of an enemy sniper, if brother... not with an armed eye or some systems , well, unfortunately, i have not yet seen these systems that you mentioned, i know that the russians use a system, the name

, i will not tell you, sorry, which identifies people, equipment up to 4 km, well, in principle , we also try to identify and destroy these systems, but what we have, that is, this most of them, the military directly, well , they find specialists, they they observe, they discover, that is , the emphasis is more on the human factor than on technology. well, this system is anti-sniping, in principle, as such, i'm just updating, it facilitates the work of snipers in what, so to specify? well, let's face it, i can only say what i have seen and used, yes, in order to tell you, well, to answer your question, well, i have this system. see it in action, if i don't know how it works, i haven't seen it, then i can't answer your question, now let's let's draw the attention of our viewers to a small window, on your screens, friends, these are the first

frames after the exchange of prisoners of war, we know that today 230 people were returned to ukrainians, to ukraine, this was reported in the office of the president of ukraine, in particular, soldiers of the armed forces were returned of the forces of ukraine in... the guards, sailors, civilians , policemen, report that among those of our heroes who returned home, there are also officers, sergeants, and privates, and mr. yarmak actually writes that it was difficult exchange after a long pause, and that this result he was given by the great efforts of a huge team, and the ukrainian obtuseman, mr. lubinets , stated that this was actually the largest exchange of prisoners... in terms of the number of returned defenders, this was actually written in the coordination headquarters for the treatment of prisoners of war, we will talk about this exchange. talk during

our broadcast, we know that we will be joined by representatives of gur, yes, the main intelligence agency of ukraine, and also mr. lubinets, the military obbutsmen, yes, he will also be our guest today. yes, you mentioned it, by the way about the fact that the last big exchange was quite a long time ago, although the process did not stop, it was, it was constantly ongoing, this negotiated process, it is meant with the enemy side, on august 7, 23, a big exchange took place, but from the second half of 23- in the last year, somehow everything slowed down, we see that, in principle , this issue is constantly under control, and as a result, we see that our people, ukrainians and civilian military personnel, are returning home. returning, once again, to communication with our guest, regarding the work of our snipers, in general military, on the line clash, life and conditions in which our military are now in the winter period. i would also draw attention to the fact that in the summer, by the way, last year i read

an article that was critical of the armed forces. these same snipers, and the so-called marksmen , well, that is, snipers are truckers who can shoot at a long distance, and marsmen are those who work at a short distance, so the question is, has the situation changed in these six months, mr. oleksandr, or what affects it? well, regarding training, i know that currently there is active training for the sniper training center , both marksmen and snipers are being trained there now, with snipers it is a little more difficult, because the training course is much longer, but a marksman is, well, a trench sniper who is trained for a month, that is, it is an accelerated option , but for now i will tell you that snipers, marksmen are not enough on the front line, and in principle, if people are motivated, people have a desire, then

well... well, you know, this is a serious enough specialty and a serious enough influence these people are working against the enemy, so you have to go, you have to to learn and, you know, replenish the ranks of these guys, let's talk about replenishment further, because nowadays, during the strengthening of mobilization measures, the option of choosing a function in the armed forces of ukraine is actualized, in particular, the recruiting system is also about this, so when a person can choose where.. .and where she wants to fight who, your tips, who would find it easier or more difficult to become a sniper, are there people who would find it easier to learn all this? er, well, this, you know, is an individual question, it is impossible, at first glance to say, in order for a person to realize that he wants to, he can or can, that is, he needs to undergo combined military training, that is, well, this is a special course, on this course his

superiors will make a cartret, well, a picture, of this person, that is, they will see his capabilities, they will see his skills, where he is able to do it, and already after the basic training course, if he really wants to, that is, this person can try, take another course, well, an additional course, basically, of the same marxman, yes eh, no one bothers anyone, well, there is no such thing, you know, that a marksman cannot become a sniper, that is, a person who... passes a marksman's training course, he is potentially capable of becoming a professional sniper, so you have to start small , you know, if you try, well, i think that no one will bite off your hand, that is, the person himself must understand, see, try, and already on that, yes, already make some pictures, without the personal desire of the person who is going to this position, yes, that is, well, you you understand that nothing can be done, and

by the way, using... with an opportunity i can to announce, actually we just filmed the project 450 within the information slot of the tv channel rada in the national marathon, actually about how the ukrainian valkyries, it is the girls who master these skills, come to the training ground themselves, actually, well, with instructors, of course, under their close supervision , train , are studying to become professionals, but of course men and young guys also join in, so continuing the topic of snipers, in particular, we have emphasized it many times and this is a big... event of the state for this evening and for this information day, regarding the return of our citizens, our military and civilians, well , have you ever come across cases when, for example, maybe your acquaintances, comrades were taken prisoner there, they were returned, whether the enemy can really determine, or well, by some there are physical and physiological signs that this is indeed a sniper.
