the ros river is a source of water supply for more than 500,000 people in four regions of ukraine. there are 1,630, nine hydraulic engineering plants located only on the section of the reservoir in the kyiv region structures, namely dams, dams, water pipes, water intake and regulation structures, etc. the river has been in a terrible ecological state for years, because it is too regulated, - said the minister of environmental protection and natural resources of ukraine, ruslan strilets. therefore, at a recent meeting, the government approved an action plan for a comprehensive solution to the problem in the ros river basin. it is already having an effect, in principle we received the order immediately. the state water agency and the plan of measures that we must directly implement, this is the development of the water management balance, determination and with the co-management bodies, hydrotechnical structures that are subject to liquidation, to its dismantling,

regulation, therefore, by the end of the year, in principle, we will carry out these measures. such actions at the state level are extremely important, according to the official, the plan introduces... determination of the amount of water in the basin, inspection of water bodies, their calculation, dismantling of illegal hydraulic structures, construction of new treatment facilities and control over economic activity. currently, the river is silted up, blue-green algae is developing, because there is no movement in it, and more abnormal heat contributed to the lowering of the water level. there was also the well-known fact of discharge pollution. in addition, the document provides for the reduction of unauthorized discharges into the river, in particular from the fields, because some gardens and buildings are literally cut into the water body, the situation is worsened by the residents themselves, because in some places garbage floats in its nooks and crannies, as the head of the city's public works and ecology department emphasizes alyona kolotnytska, bila tserkva is already actively moving according to the plan and

conducting inspections. what is the problem not only of the ros river, but of rivers in general - that's it hydraulic structures, imagine that we are on the ros river on... on three reservoirs: the upper, middle and lower white church, and this is like three baths, even these, here are three baths, in which there are such barriers and the water is almost not overflows, that's why it is polluted, clean and unclean, if there is water in the... water in the bath, it will stand, if it will flow, if the hydraulic structures will be correctly regulated, rise, then it will flow and there will be clean water, i.e. if you did not wash the bath, if the water is old, then it will be, it will be dirty. the awareness of young eco-activists, who care about the fate of the main water artery of the city, is also pleasing, they are organizing and holding meetings in order to live in a clean environment. lyubov gerashchenko. oleksandr kuga, espresso, bila tserkva.

the next edition is at ten o'clock, read more news on our website espresso.tv, also on our social networks, join, put your favorites. my colleagues oksana vysochanska and kateryna shirokopoyas will continue the tar, don't switch, stay with the espresso team.

the informational marathon on the espresso tv channel continues, and in the morning, before the morning coffee, for those who have not had time to drink it yet, i have a good offer for our viewers, namely to give it a drink. espresso tv channel and vesna charitable fund are collecting funds. for three brigades, this is the third separate assault, 110th and 47th brigades of the armed forces of ukraine. we

need to collect 3.5 million hryvnias with you. i understand that at first glance the amount seems quite unsustainable, but as of now, thanks to you, our viewers, we managed to collect almost 1.5 million hryvnias, so if we go at this pace, we will soon be able to to entertain our boys and girls, because they urgently... need flying weapons and modern means of countering enemy drones, and we need them to have everything they need. yes, you said that you need to donate, and i'm looking at the bill plus uah 10. plus 10 uah, it might not seem like much, but it is as much as 10 uah, because there are already 10 uah more, and if there are many such donations, well, if a million people, a million ukrainians donate 10 uah each, that is 10 million , these are almost three such meetings. which we are currently conducting, and here is katya he says, there are 1 million 454 thousand in the account

, we are getting close to 5 million, maybe we would try together today to reach this good figure of 15 million, we encourage with words, because it is necessary to do it, it is necessary to inform in order to repel the enemy, for example, they were beaten this night throughout ukraine, and in particular uav strikes on an industrial scale in poltava region are reported in the local ova, and such things need to be answered, and of course, with what else but appropriate weapons, and drones are one of them, so please , be active, and we to let's move to the capital, volodymyr bondarenko, deputy mayor, secretary of the kyiv city council, joins us on the phone, mr. volodymyr, glory to ukraine, hero, glory, what was that night, for kyiv and maybe you can say for kyiv region, because from monday it was very and it is very difficult in the capital

, we have not seen such massive attacks with such frequency for a long time, well, in fact, unfortunately, we really have hundreds of attacks with you, kyiv continues to remain one of the main targets for the enemy, for real. we will to be honest, thank god, there are no destructions and victims, it is thanks to our anti-aircraft forces. at the same time, i would really like to call on all kyivans to respond to air raids, we see the intensity, we see that the enemy has continued to attack the capital for the last week with all available means, so we must respond to the air raid, we must go to ukraine, and regarding the consequences of the previous attacks,

thank god, everything was destroyed, they worked, but we understand that the fragments fall and cause damage. somewhere there are people who have suffered, somewhere there are houses, somewhere there are damaged cars, or as of today, everything has been dealt with and it is possible to eliminate these damages? as of today, for the last week, we have insignificant damage to kyiv, we have no victims, and that is great, as far as material damage is concerned, of course, as of today, what was there in a week has been eliminated, it is... insignificant, but well, unfortunately, predicting, let's be honest, predicting the following days and nights is becoming more and more difficult, er, so, well, let's, frankly speaking, let's look at the objective situation, let's see how it will turn out, mr. volodymyr, we know that, unfortunately, the russians

are attacking us not only with weapons, but also... they are trying to destroy us with ecological disasters, what is known about poisonous substances in the desna river in the kyiv region, please share well, as far as i know, there, again, as of today morning, the official position of the state emergency service is that there was no leakage of poisonous substances into the river, at the same time , i would like to draw everyone's attention to the fact that after the shelling in any case ... including in water bodies fragments of combat units of corresponding downed uavs and missiles can also fall, and that is why kyiv, for example, did not launch a beach season this year, we do not recommend swimming in rivers at all, we do not recommend mass

recreation on beaches, primarily for safety reasons, we cannot for... ensure safety during a mass gathering of people on the beaches, in parallel with this - they work again, they work after each shelling, employees of the state emergency service work, sappers work, at least i, well , there were no poisonous substances, but still i would be be as careful as possible when swimming in water bodies. mr. volodymyr, what about electricity in kyiv? and in the region, the situation is still difficult , i think that it is a difficult situation, we all see the positions of uperenergo, the difficult situation will continue for several more weeks, er, if we are talking about kyiv specifically, then at the moment it is both emergency shutdowns and planned shutdowns ,

again, if we're talking about such a near future, i would... still, i would advise us all to switch to alternative power sources anyway, because the situation it cannot improve with the constant shelling of the enemy, the situation will only worsen. the main goal of the enemy is to make us really without, frankly without light, to make both the autumn period and the winter period as difficult as possible for us. therefore, in... in this case, and for housing and operating organizations, the main task is really to switch to alternative sources. kyiv is doing its homework, these are the objects of the social sphere, which today are ready to recover from alternative sources, these are the points indomitableness, these are pumping stations, these are also

objects of critical infrastructure, but the housing fund today is really our task. you specifically people, this is exactly what anna lena berburch is talking about, that russia is preparing for the cold war, i am not talking about the cold war that was in the 20th century, i am actually talking about the freezing, about its attacks on the infrastructure, on the energy infrastructure, in order to deprive we have heat and water supply, and you said that we need to take care of alternative means of obtaining electricity, well, but it can't... everyone take care about it for themselves, high-rise buildings, the social sphere, certain institutions that need it, hospitals, for example, i understand what they get. there is a lot of humanitarian aid and the situation is a little better there, but in kyiv there are a huge number of residential blocks of sleeping areas, what about

them, it will literally be colder for one and a half to two months? kyiv is working on social sphere objects, critical infrastructure objects, on their recovery, and i won't say any numbers there now, but for sure we are ready for the autumn-winter period, that concerns... many floors, there are four programs in kyiv that compensate different, different percentages of funds for the purchase and installation of alternative energy sources. to give a simple example, we compensate for high-rise buildings up to 70% of the funds for the purchase of alternative energy sources. over 1,500 residential buildings in kyiv. to date , these programs have already been used, get well. or fully residential buildings, or partly, partly it is, for example, an elevator, partly, it can be pumps, it can be, stairs cells and so on, it just needs to be done

systematically, kyiv is ready to compensate these funds, we cannot really provide all residential buildings without exception from the budget, but we are ready to co-finance under these programs, we are ready to co-finance acquisitions and installations. we also see reports that seven more streets and alleys were renamed in kyiv, the names of which were associated with russia and the soviet past, they will not be given the names of fallen ukrainian heroes defenders, why only seven, why are they so slow, that is, it is wonderful, that finally we we move, so and so'. we are organizing the entire soviet union on the streets of ukraine, but why so slowly, why even the third year of a full-scale invasion does not speed up

this process, in fact, i cannot agree that slowly, in general, starting from february 24, 2022, until today, we renamed kyiv properties more than it was from 14 to 22 years, more. 50 objects have already been decommunized, the last seven streets and alleys we are talking about are those that went through the procedure back in the summer and were waiting for the plenary session, for now we are left with of the general list of objects to be renamed, only 18 objects will be renamed, it will be done by the end of the year, so this process is just kyiv is ahead of schedule, i don't see any problems in this, eh, why yesterday, because we yesterday was memorial day, and it is quite symbolic when the kyiv city council renames objects in honor of the fallen kyivites on memorial day.

thank you, mr. volodymyr, for being with us volodymyr bondarenko, deputy mayor and secretary of the kyiv city council on the situation in the capital, in particular after the shelling of the russian federation. for a short break , let's move on, temporarily. of the occupied territory, we will move to berdyansk, stay with us, read in the august issue of the krayana magazine. how maidan and the volunteer movement formed a new ukrainian identity. the phenomenon of ukrainian stability. why the enemy underestimated the power of freedom, from the gray zone to the european stronghold. what a lesson... ukraine for the world. ask at press outlets or pre-pay online. the country is in the center of the main events. national tv on

to fight, promise. actually to these future victims, but you know this, one of those moments that we, the occupiers, are trying to lure to us, and after all this time, until berdyansk, they not only hold on and did not go to fight en masse, did not go en masse to support their own actions of local residents, so despite the humanitarian catastrophe, the city is still alive and somehow trying to be ukrainian, you mentioned land plots. for future victims, it is for those who will survive, of course, and what have you in berdyanshchyna, neighboring mariupol, they just have huge campaigns with big advertisements, look how cool it is here, settle in, they are building some kind of housing on the site of what they themselves destroyed, destroyed, well, of course, that the local mariupol people, those who lived there even before the full-scale invasion, first of all, they are not inclined to buy it,

because there is no place for it, and people are often just afraid, accordingly, in this way , they delay somewhere, purposefully and deliberately change the composition of the population to russians, what do you have , whether any similar processes are taking place, come to cities, they do not come, who settles, this is the trend that exists in mariupol with housing , berdyansk is absent, because berdyansk survived almost 100% during the occupation, but nevertheless... as for housing, as for resettlement, mass resettlement russians under any auspices, under the auspices of work, under the auspices of some kind of exchange, exchange of some connections, some kind of partnership, culture, exchange and so on, this all happens all the time, and for this , housing is actively used, which is pressed in local residents, during the entire period already 2.5 years of occupation, it is wringing out, wringing out, and it is really a goal'. the occupiers

to make the local residents to be in a significant minority compared to the visiting russians, so that the local residents learn, and now they directly learn to dance the pro-russian lisginka on the seaside square, so that they go, see dagestan, see the mountains, and so that they directly became russians, and russians are becoming more and more and more. in education, in medicine, in culture, and it is clear that the russians want to squeeze out any mention of ukraine, about berdyansk before the war, and what, well, here perhaps the most interesting thing is that when they mention some of its national minorities, one of the national minorities is never mentioned, ukrainians, bulgarians also lived here, albanians also lived here.
