it's 4:00 p.m. on the clock, which means that it's news time on the espresso tv channel, so we pass the floor to our colleague anna yevia melnyk and look forward to news from her. greetings, colleagues, thank you for your work. ursula fondelein was re-elected president of the european commission, i will start with the details of this news, stay with us. i voted for the second term, and with a very good numerical result. 401 european deputies, against 284 and 15 abstained, and for comparison, for example, with 2019, when ursula fonden was elected for the first term, for her then only 383 deputies voted and 327 were against, that is, she even improved her result. as for what promises and what plans ursela fondelaien has for ukraine, right now at these moments her

first communication with the media has ended, and she told the european deputies about the same thing before the elections, at the beginning of today's session day. first of all, ursula fondelein emphasized that europe will continue to support ukraine as long as it needs it. and first of all, ursela fondenen emphasized that the european union should give ukraine everything it needs for victory. this is the key thesis. the newly elected president of the european commission, she also sent a very serious message to the kremlin, stressing that the european union is already ready to create a european defense union, and despite the fact that nato remains the pillar of the eu's collective defense, now the european union under the new term of funderline will strengthen investments in the defense sector, and the first thing that will be done is the construction of the european. whom

anti-aircraft shield, i.e. the single air defense system of the european union, it is also very interesting that ursula fonden also commented on the so-called peace initiative of the prime minister of hungary, viktor orbán, and she said that it is not a peace mission, but a pacification mission, and in as a result, she also made a very harsh comment about the russian attack on the ukrainian children's hospital okhmatbyt and. maternity hospital in kyiv, and she declared that it was not a mistake, but a message from the kremlin to all of us, and in response to this bloody message from the kremlin, ursula fonden sees increased support for ukraine, europe will be with ukraine as long as it needs it, and this is the message of the european union to putin. that is, once again we can congratulate ukrainians on the re-election of ursela fondelaien. because at least at the eu level, for

us there is predictability and consistency of the policy of supporting ukraine. studio. thanks for your work and good news. tatyana vysotska, espress correspondent in european institutions, about ursela fondelain's re-election and what ukrainians can expect from him. volodymyr made a request to allow western weapons to hit airfields in the depths of russia. during a speech at the inaugural session of the european political community. the head of state is in great britain today on a working visit with plans to sign new security agreements, and meetings are also planned with king charles ii, the newly elected prime minister, keir starmer and government officials. the more effective our air defense will be, the more helpless putin will be. the fewer restrictions we have on

the use of effective weapons, the more active russia will be will seek peace, the military airfields from which russian planes take off with bombs against our cities, the launch sites of russian missiles, all this must be destroyed, this will not only eliminate some targets, but also reduce russia's ability to continue the war. at night, explosions rang out in the temporarily occupied crimea, where sbu drones hit a russian base. on lake donuzlav. previously, it was a combined attack of sea and air drones. the control post, the warehouse of ammunition and equipment, as well as the electrical substation were damaged. in the ministry of defense of the country terrorists announced the destruction of 33 drones over the peninsula and 10 unmanned boats in the sea. will be with light. the cabinet canceled the shutdown. energy in

the front-line settlements, prime minister denys shmehal announced this. the government also specified the list of objects that are considered critically important. there is also light. we will make this list more specific, the critically important ones include gas, heat, electricity, water supply, drainage, hospitals, today we also add a rule that turning off the light there will be settlements, as well as objects in a 20-kilometer zone from the border with russia, belarus and 20 km from the front-line zone. seven small patients were evacuated to lviv. of the akhmadite hospital, who were in the hospital at the time of the attack by the occupiers on july 8, the children were taken to the clinical center of childhood medicine and the lviv akhmadite hospital, where they spent the night with their families and rested after a long journey, today the children left for treatment in germany, i note that

the lviv an ahmadite is ready to accept patients from a kyiv hospital, for which he was fired there surgical department for 30 places, my colleagues from... kyiv okhmadite and our german partners have selected several cases that require immediate evacuation assistance, respectively, all these children, six with oncological diagnoses and one child with severe surgical pathology, were evacuated to lviv today and will go further to germany, why are they not immediately transported to germany, i will answer the question in advance, because it is a very long road, the children are weak with complex diagnoses, they cannot withstand such long transportation, so they pass through the so-called hubs, and one of the hubs is our... hospital, the children had a satisfactory journey, we have two large medical evacuation buses in use, which are also equipped with intensive care beds to

provide the necessary medical assistance. a meeting of deputies of the parliamentary group of ukrainian-polish friendship took place in warsaw. among the members of the delegation are representatives. polish deputies of all parties had the opportunity to discuss face-to-face the situation in the frontline regions, it was also about the education of ukrainian children living in of poland, the humanitarian needs of ukraine, as well as the goals of the second peace summit. ukrainian parliamentarians noted the role of poland in the fight against russian aggression. when the polish government said that it will close the border with belarus, we see how china reacted to that, and in this... international game, the role of the polish government to ensure that china does not support russia is very big, so we hope that together we will do everything to convince putin, withdraw troops from ukraine and end this genocidal war.

you can always read more about important things on our website to the spreso tv website, because my colleagues work for you around the clock, also subscribe to our channels on social networks, support our youtube channel, and more for you. my wonderful colleagues marta oliarnyk and antin borkovskii will work. ukrainian business faced one of the biggest problems today - power outages. through the enemy. no shelling ukraine lost half of its thermal generation, small businesses started using generators, the situation is much more complicated for industrial enterprises. to eliminate shortage of electricity and to avoid scheduled blackouts, the government obliged large enterprises to import electricity from

europe. in 2022 and 2023, the mandatory share of imports was 30% from may to september and 50% from october to april. but at the end of may 2024, the ministry of energy adopted a resolution according to which enterprises must purchase 80% of electricity for their needs in europe. due to high demand and lack of sufficient supply, the exchange price of electricity has already begun to rise catastrophically. 80 and 30 are slightly different numbers. we could somehow to compensate yes, there was an increase, there was an understanding that products and resources would increase, but it was not fatal, yes, that is... on a household analogy, we understand that if you come to the supermarket for bread that cost uah 25 and it will cost 26 hryvnias, well, you probably won’t give it up and it won’t be fatal for you, but if the bread cost 25, and you come, it costs

75, then you will have questions, but the price is not the only obstacle, capacity for importing electricity at the border has tripled less than the needs of ukrainian industries, even... if enterprises agree to buy light abroad, it will not be enough for everyone. the entire business, the entire industry of ukraine, yes, we have somewhere around 100 million kilowatts per day. of electricity, import of electricity, and the import of electricity that we receive, today it reaches the level of approximately 20 million kv per day, 25 - in rare periods, it is said that it can be increased to 30 million. some enterprises, in particular, the mining and metallurgical industry of ukraine , have already announced that they can completely stop their work due to the decision of the cabinet. arsalorm kryvyi rih reported the difficulties that arise in connection with the resolution . in the uletsky mining and beneficiation plant and in the interpipe company. any increase in the cost price affects production,

which in turn affects the state, because our industry is very integrated. most of what ukrzaliznytsia transports is transshipped in the ports, now with the opening of the ports, it is the products of the mining and metallurgical complex, and therefore, when our production, transportation is reduced, the funds received by ukrzaliz are reduced. ports, related industries and so on. in order not to go bankrupt, associations of ukrainian industries call for the return of the previous conditions of 30 and 50% of the mandatory import of electricity. if the government does not reconsider its decision, enterprises will be forced to significantly reduce production and staffing levels, or to stop their activities altogether. of those 9,000, about 30%, that's... our assets that are in nikopol, that's a combat, combat area, that's

daily arrivals, daily, uh, for the threat to life and its stoppage, the inability to work in these companies will lead to the fact that these there are about 30, sorry, about 3 thousand people will not be able to receive a salary, as it is today, they receive stably without delays. meanwhile, the cabinet of ministers is not yet ready to abandon the strict norm. according to yuriy vlasenko, the first deputy head of the ministry of energy, this is due to a significant capacity deficit, which will remain at least until the end of the summer repair of power units at nuclear power plants. the information day of the tv channel continues, and we are now adding one of the best to our coverage. military experts of the director of development of the information and consulting company defense express. simple, essentially, without unnecessary

populism. valery ryabykh is in touch with us. glory to ukraine, mr. valery, we congratulate you. words to the heroes. greetings from the studio. greetings, dear viewers. thank you, mr. antin, for such a presentation. well, we would like to ask you about the real situation with our enemy's military weapons. we understand that they are ongoing offensive actions, offensive. the actions are extremely active and tough, the ground component is spent by the enemy simply without control, in particular it is about manpower, but with equipment, as we can see, well, analyzing these or other reports of our fighters from different areas of the same donetsk front with equipment, they do not have everything is so good, in particular, when we talk about heavy armored vehicles, does the enemy save it until very specific actions, or does it end in them and... that's why they decided to strengthen their offensive plan activity purely with personnel and its

losses of course? word to you well, it should be noted that, of course, one of the greatest resource opportunities that the russian federation has is human potential, and in fact, now the enemy has the opportunity to use different ones. first of all, this is financial stimulation and recruitment of people from those regions where the standard of living is low, increasing the initial payment fee for signing a contract to almost 15 thousand dollars, so they can collect somewhere around 30-35 thousand every month, and exactly they use it, well, in the background. nevertheless , the enemy is now approaching the first certain

resource limitations in various types of equipment, and this primarily concerns heavy armored vehicles of various types of tanks, it also concerns artillery systems, and of course, the armed forces are to blame here, let’s say in quotation marks of ukraine, because precisely because of... due to the fact that this potential is being actively refined, the russian federation currently has certain limitations in its application. their weapons and equipment, in addition, now those units and units formed in them, including in the new districts, they have certain difficulties with equipping these units with weapons and military equipment, the fact is that currently the armed forces of ukraine are knocking out

more equipment than the enemy can... restore and restore here too several such guidelines, and for example, for tanks, this is the production of purely tanks and new ones at a single enterprise, which they have ural vagon mashzavod, and also this is the restoration of tanks that will be removed from the bases, so the essence of the matter at the moment is that the enemy... can manufacture somewhere from 200 to 250 new tanks per year, and these are mainly t-90m tanks, which are a modernization of the t90a, and these are no longer the tanks that, let's say, were previously offered for export, because they already have modifications that lag behind in a number of

capabilities from what you previously planned... to go for a walk and this is also connected with certain resource limitations, well, accordingly , the enemy selects about three times more of the rest, this is by removing obsolete equipment from warehouses and various bases and bringing it to order, and so on analysts are already talking about this resource that this limitless resource still has... and an end, and they estimate that at the rate of destruction of armored vehicles by the ukrainians on the battlefield, the russians may have the potential to write something else in these warehouses by the middle of 2025, then this one is bottomless, it would seem

that their resource will run out sooner, it was bottomless for 14 thousand. tanks before the start of a large-scale aggression, so even according to the estimates of the same oryx analysts, during this period more than 3,000 enemy tanks were destroyed, almost 35 tanks, although of course that... and in orex, using these methods, they understand that the real confirmation, they understand that this figure is clearly underestimated, and well, as for me, the figure of 8245, which the general staff submits for today, mr. valery, eh, look , the news arrived that sea and air drones of the security service of ukraine hit

the russian coast guard base on lake donuzla in occupied crimea, a source in the village told rfe/rl. bodies , on the night of july 18, there were trainings for the protection of the lake's water area, but we see that the training was not very successful and as a result the headquarters with the control post, the ammunition and equipment warehouse, the power station, the technical facilities and the firing positions of the enemy were destroyed, this operation was carried out together with the military and naval forces, i will not ask you to comment on this recent event now , i would like to ask you to comment on another equally important event, the fire in the area of ​​the ural transmazh military plant, the only enterprise in russia that produces self-propelled artillery installations, what is known about the fire at this enterprise and, in fact, whether is this really the only enterprise on the territory of the enemy that produces such installations? well, by

the way, donuslav is one of the enemy's protected bases and will be picked up. it is necessary to have great skill in the base itself, and here it should be noted that our defense forces picked up such a key and struck, and here they do not exclude even observers that could have been used on sbu drones, the same parts of the reactive fire control systems that could to be applied, including on the ground, so we will see and... hear what will happen based on the results of an objective analysis that as for the fire in the swamps, of course it is burning, and here it is so so so so... bold, you can say so in slang, the target is the ural transmash plant, and what is very interesting is that thanks to

the russians, we can follow this fire live, well, it should be noted, that they say that the fire broke out in one of the verses of this plant, and well, as it was noted in... the same social networks that the area of ​​the fire had reached 420 km, well, besides that, it can be noted that there are certain discrepancies and in what is presented by the official authorities, and even in two versions, and from the same ministry of emergency situations of the russian federation, one version and the other from the managers of the factory management, and they say that it is connected there with repair work. however , eyewitnesses, and this is already spreading on social networks, say that before the fire itself there were several explosions, after which

such a fire broke out, and the scale of the fire itself, which is confirmed , including by officials, the nature of the sighting there, they do not correspond to what they say officially about the fact that it was, on the one hand, a non-working shop in which they were held. in other words, according to another version, the work was carried out there on the contrary of the work in the workshop, which had to be retrofitted, but the empty workshop does not smoke like that, that’s for sure, and it is very good that there is such a trend of fires at enterprises of the defense industry of the russian federation, it quickly catches fire, and in addition to those drones that, well, last week damaged a number of enemy facilities on the territory of the russian federation, for some reason, the same fires also occur at

these same facilities, which are subject to destruction, in particular due to their active participation in the war against ukraine. thank you, mr. valery, valery ryabykh, military expert, director of development of the information and consulting agency defense express. well, now let's go for a short one. pause, after it continue, we will continue to inform you about everything that is most important, these outages again, and you did not have time to charge your phones, sitting in the dark is not an option either, unpack tv has a solution, even for the most severe blackouts, solar batteries energy plus, energy plus - innovative development, many options used in one: a portable solar station, a reliable hand lantern, a source of full-fledged light and, of course, a power bank. order now while
