of the war, the enemy wants to plunge us not only into darkness without light, but also into darkness of unbelief. what a dream victory is accelerated by the ukrainian rear. see in the espresso special project. bright people in dark times, business. imperial tobacco is one of the largest in ukraine. tobacco manufacturers in the company say that the war was a great test, at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, it was necessary to completely rebuild logistics and focus only on the domestic market. the most difficult test for the factory was the attack of the russian thrones in may 2023. the enterprise suffered significant destruction, but

survived and continues to work. the liquidation of the consequences continues to this day, we have drawn up an action plan, because it was production, warehouses, and warehouses were attacked. that is, the destruction was really quite serious. during this attack, none of the employees were injured, because everyone was in shelter. to date, the company has invested more than uah 50 million in the security of the state and equipped its own bomb shelters in accordance with all state regulations. as soon as we hear the alarm, we're here, we stop production, and all our employees, we all go to shelter. over the past two years, the altobaco empire has retained all jobs and even expanded its staff by 70 employees. in addition, 40 employees. our company has made a decision that we will support our employees, we will keep the jobs, we will keep the wages and all the bonuses and all the additional payments that our employees who work for the company have. the company has created a program for the reintegration

of veterans we are together to take care of employees who are demobilized. this program provides support for military personnel, veterans and their families, and the entire team of the enterprise undergoes training, such as ecologically communicate with... with demobilized colleagues, in august of this year we also received from the veteranhub organization, recognition of the company as a friend to veterans, this is a very, very huge contribution, and our tools, our programs, they are defined as one of the best in ukraine. as noted, the interial tabaco company continues to overcome the challenges of the war and help ukrainians and the state. in 2023, the company paid uah 23 billion in taxes to the state budget, and for the next year in... fully resume exports in order to attract ukraine currency revenue.

the agricultural sector is one of the industries most affected by the war, but ukrainian... farmers continue to work for the food security of the country and the world with the support of big responsible business. the international company corteva agriescience, which is a producer of seeds and plant protection products, after the start of armed aggression. completely withdrew from the market of russia and belarus and continued to work so that domestic farmers could sow fields, the production of seeds at the company's production complex in ukraine did not stop either, of course, taking into account modern realities, as noted by top managers, the safety of employees is of primary importance to them. the plant has been adapting since the 22nd year, operating within the limits of all safety measures that we can provide for ourselves, including a complete shutdown and evacuation of personnel. during an air raid, the plant does not work, we do not take risks, for us, after all,

human safety is the highest value. the company directly supplies seeds to more than 500 farms throughout ukraine. our team, they go to the farmers, they talk about what they see their crop rotation, what crops they plan to sow, because at the farm level, a certain set of crops that allows is important. to get maximum yields, that is , it would not be very advisable to sow one crop there for several seasons from an agronomic point of view, so they communicate with farmers, in general, about their vision for crop rotations, which they will sow, then we already propose, based on from their technologies, based on what kind of harvest they want to get and in which climate zones they are located, we offer the best a set of seed hybrids that can meet their demand. another important vector of the company's work was charity and support for affected farms. since

the beginning of the full-scale invasion, more than 2 million us dollars have been directed to support the affected ukrainians. it also became a partner in programs to provide seeds to small farmers from the most affected areas of ukraine. in particular , jointly with the american howard buffett foundation. thus, we distributed about 50,000 sowing units somewhere, which allowed to provide there more than there, i would say. 100-500 hectares of land to be sown there, actually thanks to the fact that we provided this seed material in this partnership. another program with fao, this is the food and agricultural organization of the united nations, and we, in partnership with them , provided them with 300 sunflower seed units in order to provide farmers in dnipropetrovsk, zaporizhia and donetsk regions, well, actually with seeds so that we could .. with the support of the ministry of agricultural policy, the company implemented an initiative to test soils in the affected regions

country after demining , heavy metals that harm the human body may remain in the ground. so korteva offered farmers to make sure their land is safe. each farmer can send soil samples according to the instructions we provide. for our part, we fully organize the transfer of samples to italy. processing of the results there, returning the results to us, interpretation here in ukraine and certain recommendations in case of finding deviations in certain materials or metals. company representatives note that korteva continues to maintain pace business development in ukraine and help domestic farmers to get efficient harvests, even in conditions of full-scale war. thank you for waiting, well, important

news, important signals when we talk about the investigation into the murder of linguist iryna farion. during the search of the apartment involved in this case, the police found a gun. the court seized the gun and other property seized during the search. this is stated in the court decision from. on august 19 , it follows from this decision that the police searched the apartment on august 14, the address and owner, which is not specified. during the search , a mobile phone iphone 11 with a sim card, an iphone 7 with a sim card, a lenovo tablet, a ford 12r pistol with a magazine, 12 cartridges of various sizes, sandpaper, drills, screwdrivers, books, and tweezers were found. , a pair of red gloves, rubber. balls, uh, boxes for mobile phones, the court seized

this property, at the same time, the spokeswoman of the national police , olena berezhna, informed rbc ukraine that the instruments of direct murder are still being used, well, in any case, in one of the apartments they found, they found the gun, well, we will monitor how the investigation will continue, i now add valery ryabykh, military expert, director of development, to our announcement. information and consulting company defense express. glory to ukraine, mr. valery, are you a bit confused? i don't know if it's true, your gadget is framing you, or i'm dragging it out? you with some kind of smoke, but let's hope that it will not affect the quality of the analysis, kudos to ukraine, it's nice to see you again, and kudos to the heroes, it's nice to see you, mr. antin, i congratulate our dear audience, and i hope so, we will not dispel the fog, we will dispel the fog with the warmth of our

hearts and the accuracy of your analysis, let's now talk about the situation in... a certain environment, although we understand that the seim river is not the dnipro river, that is, in the event of something going wrong, they will be able to get out, but in any case, this is also a matter of technology, and of a huge slap, which, so to speak, goes to our enemy, in particular to the same putin who just doesn't have anything to say back, you know? there he begins to babble, babble, babble about certain crisis moments. let's just discount how you see the development of the kurdish operation now, because our fighters, as reported by colonel-general sirskyi, the commander of the land forces and the commander of the armed forces of ukraine, took another settlement. well, we

talked about such a course of events with you on monday and predicted that exactly... the closing of this kind of boiler, which is limited on all sides by such obstacles for of russian troops operating in this region, and in particular from two sides, namely the seim river, and from the west and from the north, and from the east, this area closes exactly, those units that are advancing on the ukrainian territory of kurdistan with the main vector to rylsk, and but at the moment, with the capture of another populated place and with the approach to the so-called red october,

the possibility for russian troops to move in this direction is blocked, and of course... from the south , ukrainian border guards are already defending here, and here, according to western estimates, observers, and according to what is leaking from the defense forces of ukraine , up to 3,000 e-e russian military personnel may be stationed in this region at the moment, who have not been able to make their contribution to the defense of their own border. now we can say that the additional territory with a total area of ​​700 km with such linear dimensions of 40 km from east to west and 20 km from south to north is now controlled

at least remotely by the defense forces of ukraine and... in fact, this creates additional opportunities to further promote the implementation of those of the strategic tasks currently implemented by the defense forces in the kursk region, and here it should be noted that in any case this operation is developing successfully, because in any case it has already brought many positive contributions, starting from the change of the paradigm itself. uh, in particular, the seizure of the strategic initiative by the defense forces of ukraine and the imposition of their will on the enemy, and the taking of a large number of captured occupiers who replenish the exchange fund, well, of course, the debunking of the myths of russian

propaganda is priceless, uh, literally there by all articles, which can only be, it is very interesting... precisely how the local population reacts to the actions of the forces, the defense of ukraine, which instead of, well, allegedly, let's say, rebel against the invaders, greets the ukrainian troops in ukrainian in the same language, yes, this is a characteristic moment, and another characteristic moment, putin stopped and began to mention something, about nuclear security, you understand, that is , a person who, what, what they did there when they occupied the chernobyl nuclear power plant, yes, well , this, only the investigation can bring to the fore all the flashy moments, and how they are seized the zaporizhia nuclear power plant, so putin now... i would like to inform our tv viewers, putin has now announced that our fighters would like to attack the kursk nuclear power plant, which is located in

the city of kurchatov, i am quoting the russian dictator. the enemy tried to strike the nuclear power plant tonight. the international atomic energy agency has been informed, they promise to come themselves and send specialists to assess the situation, i hope. that it will be done, well you see, he is starting to mention legislation, even at this rate, then putin will also mention the geneva convention on the treatment of prisoners of war, well , jokes are jokes, we understand that it is not a joke in the kremlin that they are worried not only about kursk, mr. valery in the kremlin is worried about that increased the frequency of successful attacks, drone attacks on their military facilities, in particular. the airfield in the volgograd region was attacked by drones of the security service of ukraine and special operations forces, and the warehouses were hit with scabs and fuel. well

, at least the interlocutor of ukrainian pravda v the sbu confirmed this case, and the enemy actively used marynivka, that's the name of this airfield for bombing the front line and not only it. yes, a military airfield, according to the local population. looks like footage from an apocalypse movie. at the airfield , warehouses with aircraft cabins, ammunition and fuel and lubricants were exploding all night and morning , and our fighters worked on this object with surgical precision, but this is not an isolated story. the past few days have been very successful raids, yes, although some of our drones were neutralized. by the russian air defense system, but not everywhere, and here the question is whether they already, so to speak, run out of air defense systems, because

, as far as i understand, it is more difficult and longer to make an air defense system qualitatively than this or that missile offensive unit. your word, mr. valery. yes, well, now, if you analyze the events that are taking place, you can say that the defense forces of ukraine are working on re-election. initiatives are already in the air and are being destroyed so far the enemy's ability to strike and destroy his ability to repel our strikes, and this indicates that there is a purposeful effort to seize the initiative in the air, it should be noted here that russian propaganda is very powerful. advertising and ukrainian drones and their effectiveness, because, judging by what they say, now only those

fragments that hit the airfield in the volgograd region caused such damage, and we cannot imagine what would have happened, what would have happened drones were drawn there on all objects, but oh well debris is probably enough, because in fact , in a few more days... we will be able to understand what really happened there, and although the testimonies kindly provided to us by those observers in the russian federation who live near these airfields, they are already delighted with that, and the bottom line is what these wreckages have arranged, and how it burns and explodes, and explodes, this indicates a secondary detonation, and at least precisely the damage to ammunition warehouses. the very thing that burns as well, and judging by what they are saying behind the scenes the russians, who are shooting this fire, are exploding

warehouses with fuel-lubricating materials at this airfield, well, accordingly, it is already known that there is an explosion in the aircraft training area, this suggests that airfield technical equipment can also explode, well, in particular. a lot of planes can be damaged, this airfield was actively used to carry out attacks on ukrainian territory, in particular to terrorize ukrainian cities, in particular kharkiv and also cities that are tangent to the contact line on the eastern front, and at least, now we can already hope that there will be fewer such strikes in... similar work continues in other areas, and there are already tangible results here, and this may lead to a decrease in potential.

the enemy in carrying out these strikes, it is not excluded that precisely during the strike on this airfield a large warehouse with aviation ammunition was also destroyed, it is not excluded that including precisely that it could be a sufficiently large number of cabs, and thus this attack can join a number of others effective attacks that have already reduced the enemy's ability to terrorize. ukrainians, well, it is noted, including , uh, also, for example, the attack on the same savasliyka, on which those daggers are based, or rather the mih 31k dagger-carrying aircraft. and there is also certain evidence that at the moment the russian federation could lose up to a quarter of such dagger bearers and seriously

tickled. august 21, well, because it was reported that, we know that trusting the enemy during the war, well, the matter is, so to speak, hopeless, but the mayor of moscow reported that they shot down about 10 drones, well, maybe they are lying, well, but if, well, for example, 30 or 50 were sent there so that they would not be bored, well , it is known here, yes, the man from toya said about 10 drones in the same the so-called ministry killed. the russian federation was informed about 11 downed drones, but now the veil of secrecy over these has been lifted a little, here the head of the main intelligence department kyrylo budanov said that there were two powerful strikes in this direction, in particular, an attack was made on the airfield ostafio in the suburbs of moscow, and allegedly this strike was

such a strike... a cover for another very important object to be hit, which is located at a distance of 8 km from this object, and this is the position and part of the radio engineering intelligence, and this can be very important, i can predict that such a strike is connected precisely with the fact that it is possible to outwit, precisely deceive the same anti-aircraft system. defense of moscow, where these objects were hit, and i hope that the effective damage to the radio intelligence object will significantly reduce the enemy's ability to obtain information about the capabilities of the defense forces and vice versa will give us the ability to maneuver to destroy other objects on the territory

of the russian federation, in particular... around moscow. thank you. thank you, mr. valery. and finally, i would like to summarize a certain point. we understand that this has not only a military, but also a military-psychological dimension, right? because you can imagine what kind of porridge is currently in the minds of ordinary citizens of the russian federation, right? they are constantly every day, they already are they squeeze the ukrainians, capture them, go to the border, ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, here they have it once and for all... a part of kurshchyna, well, they did not squeeze, they brought in ukrainian peacekeepers there once, there is such a salute over moscow, and this another thing, when we talk about what was shot down, and if the next time, it is not shot down, yes, a couple of dozen drones will hit some or other military objects, oh, then, i think, the average russian is very significantly will change his attitude to the war, well, unfortunately, i have to conclude, valery ryabikh was in

touch with me, a military expert. from development information and consulting agency defense express. i remind you, dear tv viewers, that literally in a couple of days on august 24, the day of ukrainian independence, there will be a number of very important broadcasts. our tv channel, my colleagues have prepared extremely interesting and deep conversations with leading ukrainian figures, and in addition, there will also be a very important film of 10 russian-ukrainian years. war in its various formats and manifestations, so don't forget to watch the espso tv channel from 8 in the morning, i'm going on a break now, after it i'll continue to analyze everything is most important. attention, if you want to save money, buy warm clothes from tvoi par now. we have frozen the prices at the level of the 21st year, practical even now.
