. kirill vyshinsky is with you, and this is a typical ukrainian program. our program is not news, we record it in advance and go out on a weekly basis. we don't compete with news releases. we talk about what made ukraine the way we know it today, the typical and, of course, the peculiar path that ukraine went through in malarussia from the ussr before it ended up at the current point. here's what we're interested in. today we come out with the last issue in 2022. he became tense and in many ways fateful the ukrainian path, which in recent years has led the country to a protracted civil conf. ktu to numerous human tragedies and

the natural leaving of the territory today , it seems to us, is at a historical impasse. why did this happen and what will happen next let's try to comprehend in the last issue of the year? from the euphoria of independence to the civil war, the collapse of ukrainian well-being the results of the year could it be otherwise a conversation with an expert of the program, how is novorossiya and donbass preparing for the new year with the hope of peace and revival? the first president of ukraine leonid kravchuk, to his main achievement in the nineties, called not economic reforms, then the country was experiencing a deep recession with huge inflation and successes in foreign policy, becoming an accomplice to the collapse of the ussr, the former soviet republic did

not win anything on the world stage leonid kravchuk was proud that ukraine went through the nineties without civilians blood conflicts and loss of territory presidential career, the former secretary of the central committee ended ahead of schedule, losing early elections. leonid kuchma ukrainian economy. has found some stability. what attention contributed to the supply of cheap gas from russia was strengthened in the lower political positions, a large agreement on friendship, cooperation and partnership with the russian federation was concluded . it seemed that two presidential terms of the former director of the rocket plant would give the country a new acceleration. ukraine declared

the european choice headed for a multi-rector, economic growth began, only peace and stability in society. and with this , serious problems arose in ukraine. after two terms of kuchma's stability, the country entered the maidan period. revolutionary anarchy has become a way of life and an ordinary way to resolve contradictions. outwardly, everything looked quite attractive as a struggle for democratic ideals and standard movements towards european prices in practice. disregard for one's own laws for the sake of political gain , the growth of radical nationalism and the split of the country, if the first orange maidan passed without bloodshed and brought to power the nominees of western ukraine, fans of the theory of ukrainian nationalism, then the second one splashed extreme nationalists and

outright followers of nazi ideas onto the square, divided ukrainians into dill-patriots and pro-russian forces. then there could only be a civil war and the collapse of the country, and so it happened crimea left without bloodshed. they tried to keep the donbass by force, to make it either ukrainian or deserted, russophobic and anti-russian sentiments were added to all this, which were intensively cultivated in country with support. west 8 years of fruitless negotiations. in minsk, the year ended with nothing in 2022 became decisive about what was left of ukraine at the current historical turn, all these anna efimova the result minus warehouses minus the logistics of the chronicles of hostilities from the

ukrainian point of view, as a live broadcast on youtube daily, vladimir zelensky sums up new statements and summarizes sums up, which differ from each other no more than sweatshirts and sweatshirts, in which the ukrainian president regularly appears in the frame emergency medical connections, which is not the case throughout ukraine, however, the numbers always speak more accurately than words . at the same time , due to the uncertain situation in ukraine, the international monetary fund refused to make a forecast for the country's economy for the next year in the report opposite the column. ukraine only ellipsis i state this with great regret . this is the worst year in the history of ukraine , the independent economy is now based on agriculture alone, by and large - this is one of the few remaining sources of filling the treasury. next year, 58% of the state budget will consist

of foreign loans and grants. and this is still an optimistic scenario for the state budget, 2023 is overdue even before the start of the bombing of ukrainian critical infrastructure. now experts estimate the degree of ukraine's dependence on western financial injections at 80%. this is comparable to the state of afghanistan shortly before the disaster of the american troops in the summer of 20201. they simply received the state on december 1 from washington vvf, there in europe, $113 billion is a gigantic amount, because ukraine is being beaten here. well, somewhere it was at the level of 35 billion. that is, kiev was given three budgets. just fighting this, ukraine has lost about 20% of its territory. basically. these are the donetsk and luhansk regions, which, under the terms of the minsk agreements, were supposed to be part of ukraine in a special status. and as

for the zaporozhye and kherson regions. these are powerful agricultural regions. eh, especially just the left bank, which now remains. and in the russian federation, uh and, of course in terms of agricultural produce. this is a big loss for ukraine and a big gain for russia . mariupol certainly became a sensitive strategic loss for the kiev authorities after the city came under the complete control of russian troops. ukraine lost one of its most important seaports. and in general, access to the sea of ​​\u200b\u200bazov economic losses. this is, so to speak, a change in logistics, but on the other hand, it must be said that it is the mariupol port. they were mostly tied up. uh, logistics routes, just products, uh, s. e donbass of the don republics and , accordingly, it is quite logical that the port in

mariupol returned against this background zelensky's triumphal trip to kherson, which russian troops voluntarily left, in order to avoid unnecessary military and civil. nskikh, losses had to demonstrate resilience and power aloud. the price of this power is not only billions of dollars of help, but also endless waves of mobilization - a war to the last ukrainian from the metaphor. turns into reality before our eyes. he will bang, extreme wrote, the british flew the count of the ukrainian army suffers a huge loss of zelensky's desire the ukrainian military-political leadership behind him, the west, cannot accept any surrender . that is why they are ready. uh, just drive thousands of soldiers to slaughter. uh, into the already emerging cauldron in the uludar

direction. that is why they are ready to mobilize everyone who they catch and grab in the first place, just the inhabitants of the southeast. by the way, they recently let it slip about the losses of the apu. in one of his speeches. president of the european commission. ursula von der lein called the staggering number of ukrainian military casualties more than 100,000 on demand. kiev speech by the head of the european commission. it was successfully edited from the re-published on twitter, but without specific numbers, they soon voiced their version. in the office and zelensky, reducing losses by about 10 times, while kiev counts its dead and wounded and washington does not count the ammunition in military depots in terms of arms supplies. ukraine turned out to be a real black hole in early december, ceo of the company raiten technology from nato's largest arms supplier specifically stated that

the problem is that we used up so many stocks in the first 10 months of the war, in fact we used up 13 years of stinger production and 5 years of jewelin production. by the end of the year, everyone sums up the results for ukraine . they are clearly not comforting, in contrast to the conditional achievements of zelensky himself , whom the american magazine time named the person of the year for the fact that the politician, they say , managed to rive the world's attention to what is happening in ukraine, this is difficult argue. truth. there is one thing, but the president's global pr company. ukraine also began to falter. let's witness the final and end of the war together. this appeal never appeared on the television screens of football fans around the world, although before the final, zelensky's team tried to spoil the holiday in every possible way, fifa considered. this is inappropriate at the end of 2020 the second zelensky. finally, an open mic was denied. however,

the president of the actor still has a place to perform, especially when his country is theater of war anastasia popova typical ukraine about why this year has become a turning point for ukraine and could everything have turned out, otherwise we will talk with our permanent expert historian and political scientist rostislav, ishchenko astislav. good afternoon. good afternoon, rostislav and how predetermined was the path that ukraine has traveled over the past decade . and here's what's happening now. well, basically, uh, as they say, there is no subjunctive in history. inclinations. yes, but nevertheless our future is always undetermined. now we can say that yes, it was inevitable. this does not mean that there was no other option. but

this means that under those external and internal conditions that ukraine turned out to be at that time, there was another option. well, at least unlikely doubtful, it means precisely because, again, the people who made the decision. after all, they themselves supported the nazi parties themselves, thinking that they would raise such a small dog, which barks in bass because of the fence, the dog is not visible. fearfully. they know that the dog is small and she was threatening, but the terrible wolfhound, arslan, grew up . well , firstly, he began to turn right away, because people, uh, they saw ukraine uh, radical nationalist, but in fact nazi immediately turned out to be in power and it’s another matter that they couldn’t immediately impose these ideas on society on the whole of society, but

support. in general, serious support and parts of society and government institutions. they had initially, although the authorities thought that they would control, but over time, when it turned out that our western partners in opposing russia were also relying on ukrainian nazism, because they understood that ukraine would be hostile to russia in any case. they proceeded from the fact that only nazi ukraine would create the conditions for such a total war against russia, which is now waging and not being able to destroy masses of the russian population and it mass destroys and expels its own population from its territory. in order to make things worse in russia, let's return to 2022 a special military operation, as far as it was inevitable. and was there still a chance to agree on peace, well, with a regime that wants to kill you, but it is impossible to agree on peace. we really did not have such cardinal

contradictions that, uh, would not allow us to coexist normally with ukraine, but the fact is that ukrainian regimes were originally. means even the softest ones. he still saw himself as a winner over russia in the future. why did they need this victory, because they perfectly understand that russians live in ukraine. and no matter how much they are not remade and into ukrainians, the inclination of the small to the big will still remain, and they have experience when both the part of the former russia that existed separately from russia and the same ukrainian lands in the future. so, after 300 years of separate existence, they became part of russia. although a at that time, the cultural differences were very serious, because indeed, we are talking about the lands of the zaporizhzhya army in the fall. yes, this is the reunification of ukraine with russia in the middle of the 16th century, and then in the same way all the territories lost in

their time, e russian principalities. yes, they just as calmly poured into the common russian massif until the end of the 18th century, when catherine completed the reunification of the russian lands. yes, and so it did not work out with the polish lands, when they were annexed to russia, uh, it was still clear. this is another people. yes, and here united a single the russian people and nationalists in ukraine are constantly afraid that this will happen again . the forecast is the most unfavorable thing, and yet one can talk about what the historical perspective of ukraine will be. well, over the next three five years, it may be more distant. ukraine can exist or as an antithesis of russia, that is, until now, while it exists? there will always be a problem on our western borders that can always be used against russia she will gladly uh join any russian enemy moreover, she herself will look for any russian enemy to join him . can ukraine collapse

itself ukraine could collapse itself, it can collapse itself now, which means, moreover, it is, in principle, not a viable entity. someone must always take it on their balance sheet. that is why the americans arranged it. this is the war. yes, they understood perfectly well that ukraine would exist just as long. how much it will contain about it contain. eh, the state without any benefit to itself is meaningless. it did not come to the conclusion that it would be more profitable to split ukraine about russia while creating it for a certain period. uh, russia’s serious fears in europe means breaking economic ties between russia and europe and togo creating a serious focused layer of a couple of tens of millions of ukrainians who immigrated to europe, who will also put pressure on european public opinion, the sooner. we are getting rid of the very memory of

ukraine and the sooner we will carry out just a normal merger of russian territories in one state, the sooner with it. you you know we're freeing up our hands for the uh geopolitical fortune process to the united states in other parts of the world. they are after all. it's not just that they bind us to ukraine, they want to have hands free against china in southeast asia in africa, latin america. i correctly understood that the process of, uh, the death of the ukrainian state, it has no alternative. well, like, uh, ukraine can only exist if it is friendly to russia , yes, but why does russia need another russia at its side, especially the russia that it needs contain. i do not understand, that is, it is much easier to simply include all these territories in your composition. well, how much do you need. how many managed, so much to include. thank you very much for an interesting story. the new year is approaching,

this holiday in the cities of novorossia will be special. as it was in fact, the outgoing year in donetsk, for the first time in many years, refused to install a city tree for the life of people who could come to it and become victims of ukrainian shelling . but christmas trees were set up in the central squares of luhansk melitopol and there will be no hygienic, but noisy festivities, safety requirements are again taking up. what, then, will make such a long-awaited holiday special for novorossia, how will it be remembered this year, for the first time the streets will be decorated with garlands and festive illumination of the colors of the russian tricolor, the new year's greetings of the president from moscow in zaporozhye and kherson cities can be watched on tv, and the words dear citizens of russia are already about everyone

about them in luhansk donetsk melitopol genius and throughout new russia and the festive chimes on the spasskaya tower in the hearts of millions of people. on this earth will respond with a new special sense of pride in their country. it will be in a few days, but for now, about how they are preparing for the new year in novorossiya in the story of olga mokhova, the cavalier looks at the lady, she does not dare to look him in the eyes at the matusovsky lugansk academy of culture of arts, the last preparation for new year's celebrations. it is necessary to master atypical for the present time. polonaise this year students and teachers took up the reconstruction of the ball in 1812, probably the moment to

which we can now draw a parallel. yes, it was a war with the great, infinitely strong french army, which no one could defeat at the time of 812. it was very important because russia is so united. and it didn’t make any difference who you were, a city dweller, a student, a peasant, a prince, not from textbooks and not esmi, danila pavel’s third-year students know about the war for nine months on november 24, about 3,000 students in the lugansk people’s republic by decree of demobilization, we returned home from the front and found out 2 days in advance that we were being released. these two days were very sleepless, because they could not wait. on the 24th in the morning we began to collect things. and here it is at lunchtime. we moved home. you gave me the most important thing was not to lose heart. i think this is the most. the main thing when there

is a person in such a situation is not to lose yourself. well, because then the legs late everything ends. that's why it spurred me a little and betrayed me , they admit that i did not immediately get used to return to peaceful reality. well, how to celebrate the most beloved and special holiday for them this year, the guys have long decided on the layout of the new year's eve days. and for those who work to defend their homeland, our territory is four guests of the ministry of internal affairs of the chechen republic today we go around all these activities. how much is there, what is missing is not enough and we directly show humanite medicine , not only medicinal help, of course, we have become plans together, you know , comrades in arms, but here he will meet, commandant from 23:00 to 4:00 in the morning in the territories that are closer to the front even longer from 9:00 pm to 6:00 am war and peace among the

inhabitants of the lc. for 8 years now they have been walking side by side, empty apartments in high-rise buildings, military equipment on the streets, life in anticipation of stability, but all these 8 years in luhansk, on theater square, the main christmas tree flaunts. in the same year, it was decided to install as many as 12 new year's beauties in the city. and the decision, uh, to install such anal trees did not pass spontaneously. we decided, after all, to break people a little, uh, so that there would not be such a cluster in one place of people, therefore, in every district of yolka, the traditional fairy tale for children in lugansk was not canceled, yet the new year happens to their family traditions once a year. in lutsk , too, only new year's wishes remain true , taking into account the time. so i want to, i can’t, and that’s how it happened, all the guys went home and returned alive and healthy home to their families to their parents and their wives. grandma grandpa is a miracle , but still somehow the mood.
