sometimes at the cost of one's own heart it teaches not to back down if it wasn't difficult to be ready for self-sacrifice to be courageous to be humane to be an example for others state emergency service we will save we will restore we will win our weapon is the truth in the studio of the channel council we continue the only moment we will continue to work on on the information front, first of all, it is concise about the main topics, together we are the only news in the center of midnight events in ukraine, 207 days of heroic resistance of ukrainians to the russian occupiers continues news time on the air the only news of the marathon. my name is olga butko. i congratulate you. gradually, step by step, our fighters are pushing the occupiers out of our land, president volodymyr zelenskyi said, but he says that frequent efforts are needed, that we need to be fully focused on

defense and preserve all our strength. many russian soldiers have already realized that they have no chance in ukraine that they will be defeated , the most intelligent of the russian military are surrendered and we guarantee them the observance of all rights according to the conventions and we will continue to press so that all the occupiers understand this, we will beat them harder than before. the russian occupiers are starting to prepare retreat routes in the kherson region. they want to build a temporary bridge near the kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, according to the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. the bridges across the dnipro in the kherson region are out of order after the attack of the ukrainian military will support ukraine too much because it will be necessary, in particular, with the onset of winter, to change its position there the head of the nato military committee, rob bauerb, said that the russian

invasion was the beginning of a new era of global security, the extraordinary courage of the ukrainian armed forces and the ukrainian people will again and again overcome the opponent, nato allies will support them as long as necessary, winter is approaching, but our support will remain unbreakable, i will remind tallinn that the conference of the nato military committee is being held, the main topic of which is the military support of ukraine in the long term, the maxart-technologies company with published satellite images of a mass burial of people in de-occupied izyum, kharkiv region. it appeared on the company's twitter account, there they showed satellite images that were taken in march and august of this year. they show the graves of the dead in a forest strip. at the entrance to the city, well, in the very the process of exhumation continues in izyum, so far experts have already recovered 59 bodies, the head of the

kharkiv regional military administration oleg synogubov said, the remains of 16 civilian men and 26 women will be delivered for further examination as experts note that most of them have traces of violent death, investigators previously counted 450 graves, 389 children died during the war in ukraine. this was reported in the prosecutor general's office, 7,500 were injured, and the total number of victims exceeds a thousand. the most children were affected in the donetsk, kharkiv and kyiv regions due to shelling in russia as well. 2,500 educational institutions were damaged, of which almost three hundred were completely destroyed zaporizhzhia npp again began receiving electricity from the ukrainian the network's press service reports that the specialists managed to restore one of the four main external power transmission lines damaged as a result of the shelling of the occupiers. the

750 kw leb provides the station with electricity, which is needed for cooling the reactor and other safety functions. all six reactors are still in a state of cold shutdown, but they also need power to guarantee basic safety functions added in the international agency and from nuclear safety poland is preparing for a new the flow of refugees from ukraine in autumn and winter , the director of the subcarpathian department of the polish red cross maciej morozshak said, it is expected that residents of the destroyed ukrainian cities who were left without electricity and gas will seek refuge in neighboring countries, at the same time, public organizations note that they will help, but less than at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, this is due to they complain about the fact that most of the volunteers took vacations and now have to return to work, so misha will not be able to help in such a large number of conflicts azerbaijan and armenia nancy polosi arrived in

yerevan, the speaker of the house of representatives of the us congress intends to meet with the country's prime minister nikol koshenian and a number of other high-ranking officials. peaceful, prosperous and democratic armenia. she is visiting ukraine against the background of the escalation in nagorno-karabakh in a region that is the territory of azerbaijan under international law , but ethnic armenians nancy-polozi live there became the highest representative of the american authorities who visits armenia since it gained independence in 1991 shelling resumed on the border of tajikistan and kyrgyzstan despite the agreement on a ceasefire this was reported by the border services of both countries. evacuated almost 150,000 people from the border

areas in tajikistan, seven dead and 14 injured are known, both sides blame each other one of the escalations of the conflict and the use of heavy military equipment. let me remind you that the day before, the presidents of kyrgyzstan and tajikistan agreed to withdraw additional forces from the border of the two countries. the first cause of the conflict is the disputed territories on the border between the two countries. the old name was returned. kazakhstan officially renamed the capital nursultan to the last one. the law is stated on the website of the head of state, the previous name lived for only three years. in 2019, it was tokaev who suggested renaming nursultan astana to the honor of the former president of the country, nursultan nazarbayev, who was in his post for almost 30 years, in addition, the day before kazakhstan approved amendments to the constitution, they provide for more democratic management of the state, the president can now be elected for only

one seven-year term without the right to re-election, i will remind you first of the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine kazakhstan sharply changed his relations with the kremlin, president kaif refused military aid to putin and declared that he would not help moscow circumvent western sanctions and would never recognize of the pseudo-republic in donbass, one with wheat left the port of chornomorsk in odesa, 30,000 tons of grain are heading to djibouti, where humanitarian cargoes for african regions arrive. has been going on for four years in partnership with the un world food program, ukraine has already sent three ships of grain in plans to export another 190,000 tons, which currently purchased by partners and the un odesa national

theater of opera and ballet presented the world premiere of the opera kateryna based on the works of taras shevchenko . during the independence of ukraine, they say that this is the largest production of a work in the theater with exclusive music, more than a hundred performers at the same time, almost a thousand exclusive costumes, authentic musical instruments and unique stage decorations, our colleague tetyana bazhanar visited the stage behind the scenes and saw the final preparations for the premiere. alina vorog has been singing in at the opera house at the beginning of the war, the woman went abroad, but has already returned to odessa, now they are preparing for the premiere of the opera kateryna in the play, the actress plays the role of a witch, her character did everything so that grief and trouble befall the main character of the poem, but in reality elina barely holds back her pain and feelings for kateryna, who is a symbol of ukraine in the fight against the aggressor, firstly, it hurts, secondly, this is fantastic music that cannot leave anyone without such

painful feelings, our country should be free and it is in our hands, everyone, at the heart of the opera is shevchenko's classic poem kateryna, which depicts the tragic fate of a woman-covering a child without a vision in a serf society, however, thanks to the modern tower of the composer oleksandr rodin, the performance sounded in a new way and became a symbol of the affirmation of national dignity and stability. taras shevchenko believed in victory, he i wrote about the people and even about our present, and this opera should also be about the people and about our present, so i decided . to the entire work of taras hryhorovych shevchenko, the creative group of the odesa opera created a new artistic work with the genetic code of the ukrainian nation, which

found its embodiment in the rites and customs of this performance, according to the ideological inspirer of the opera, nadia babich, will create a new vision of musical works on the world opera and ballet stage today you can rise and to take this performance of ours and go to any stage of europe, america, and the world, and we will be very interesting to the audience, and people will feel uh through art, and art is the best diplomat in of the world. so we will feel that we are doing an absolutely extraordinary thing and this application of ours shows that this is really a cultural front . at the same time as the premiere of the play kateryna , the international festival of the arts is held in the theater, the velvet season, where the audience will be able to see new productions of plays in a modern reading, will continue festival until october 1 tetyana bazhinar zorapteluri tv channel rada general national marathon

the only news is all the main news on this a moment later the marathon will continue my colleagues olga nimtseva and maksym zborovsky don't miss me, we 'll see each other less than an hour before the meeting. the unconquered cities of ukraine are the cossack city of izyum, where one of the oldest buildings of the slobozhanshchyna is located. the transfiguration cathedral was the center of the famous izyum regiment. the city twice found itself in the center of fierce battles today raisin again on the line of fire scorched and after dinner but ready to stand for

congratulate everyone who joined the broadcast. maksym zborovsky in the studio. olga nimtsala. next, we will talk about how to keep warm in winter. the past heating season has already been called the most difficult in modern history. luhansk, kherson, and zaporizhzhia regions will also be in the risk zone in general. in occupied melitopol, there has been no gas for more than a month. in berdyansk for more than three months in the territories controlled by ukraine and recently de-occupied, the authorities have been working to ensure a stable supply of electricity and heat, coal and gas reserves are already sufficient, but there is a risk of an accident at energy facilities caused by enemy fire, citizens should also prepare themselves, the heating season will most likely begin on

october 15 as usual and later and the temperature in homes will be 2-4° lower, so people are asked to sign up to wear warm clothes, thermally insulate their homes and think about alternative means of heating actually about preparation for winter, the heating season, we will talk in the studio with our guests volodymyr melchenko, director of energy programs of the center razumkova with us and ivan fursenko, advisor of the association of cities of ukraine, gentlemen. we welcome you, and oleksiy ryabchyna, vice-prem advisor, will join us via skype. what about european and euro-atlantic integration issues, the adviser to the chairman of the board of naftogaz of ukraine, it will be a little later, let's go right away, according to the estimates of the upcoming heating season, political officials they warn about a difficult season about a difficult winter, what challenges and what events ukraine and each of us may face mr. ivan, well, first of all, this

issue should be considered from the possibility of the missile volume of the russian federation on the territory of our cities , we now have a problem with the restoration of critical infrastructure in okhtyrka, kremenchuga chernihiv is where the government partially paid funds from the local budget were allocated, the thermal power plants in chernihiv are being restored, the local authorities have allocated funds, the government is waiting for uah 70 million to be added in order to restore the chernihiv thermal power plant, it is not excluded that the missile attacks will continue and the local authorities are preparing for such scenarios, purchasing mobile generators , purchasing mobile e-e boiler houses, preparing in other ways, in which individual houses can be transferred to individual heat supply in individual cities. for example, ivano-frankivsk, there are a few more years ago, they moved away from the practice of using central boiler houses and individual houses began to be transferred to local such boiler houses of small importance, it is obvious that the impact on individual such

boiler houses will not cause much damage, that is, they will not heat a huge part of a third of the city, half of the city, or the city as a whole, this is what we must prepare for, and the local government is trying to do the maximum that can be done in such a short period of time, because we all quieted down with a shortage, as well as diesel generators, because the logistics are difficult from european countries, they were not produced in the quantity that is actually needed for our country of forty million people and those 30 million that continue to remain in ukraine so that to provide this mobile everywhere, once again, there were and remain problems with financing, but less, and the state and local self-government are trying to do their best to ensure that the heating season passes first of all without hindrance for objects of communal ownership - these are schools, this is children's kindergartens and hospitals are the biggest consumers of electricity and energy resources, and on the other hand , local residents living in multi-apartment

buildings also feel the difficulties of this heating season to a lesser extent. the government now, when preparing the state budget for next year, has already laid compensation in tariffs for local self-government, this is always, if you know, historically there was a problem of who compensates whom and how and how much, but unfortunately, after the first vote in the verkhovna rada and before the second , this difference is 25 billion hryvnias, calculations of the association of cities, compensation should take place 39 billion, the government laid down 39, but the verkhovna rada voted again for 14, so i am appealing to the people's deputies to give them the opportunity to local self-government, these funds are in full exchange so that ordinary residents of villages, towns, cities feel to a lesser extent the difficulty, the financial difficulty of passing the heating season, if they still do not vote, how exactly will they feel why the eighth addition will not be able to fully measures to pay wages to employees of the thermal power plant of their utility

companies, and this will actually entail a number of problems because people, including utility workers, need something to eat somewhere to earn money in order to provide for their families , because there was also a fixed tariff then, and who covered the rest. last year, the government compensated for the difference in tariffs, and we hope that now the verkhovna rada - that is, will meet self-government and these tariffs will be compensated to the state budget, that is, then everything was covered precisely from the central budget, of course , because tariffs are set and now there were statements by the president of ukraine about the impracticality and impossibility of raising tariffs specifically for ordinary citizens, for residents of villages, towns and cities, and these our tariffs are set for gas for the public at uah 8, for utility companies at uah 16 per m³. we all understand the cost of blue fuel in european hubs and in europe , the price already exceeds 2,000 euros for 1,000 cubic meters , respectively, this difference in the tariffs, it is necessary to compensate at the expense of the state budget

. naftogaz has pledged for the passage of the heating season, according to their statements, we already have approximately 14 billion cubic meters of gas in our storage facilities, as if it is a sufficient amount, but it is almost enough. the government insists on it, and we, as an association of cities, say that 19 million is necessary, and naftogaz promises that if necessary, they will be able to buy more even in winter, this is the difference that is necessary to pass the heating season. at the same time, it is obvious that in different cities we have a season will start at different times because, according to regulations, the temperature must drop below eight degrees, the average daily temperature for three days . tested their heating so that the children felt comfortable when they came to kindergartens. well, the russians will certainly try to destroy this synergy that ivan is talking about with their

missile attacks, which continue on our critical infrastructure, on thermal power plants , on hydroelectric stations, like the one in kryvyi rih. p volodymyr and what are the challenges? how do you see them and what challenges in the energy sector are waiting for us in the winter? what will we have to face? do you agree with everything ? indeed, we have no resource challenges this year the main ones, because it is the shelling of critical infrastructure that carries more risks. we all understand this well. well, if the brothers are on the reserves, we currently have around 2.2 million tonnes of coal accumulated, which , in principle, creates a normal situation. that is, we can to reach about two and a half million tons by the beginning of the heating season - this is more than

twice as good as last year, but last year there was actually very little coal and it was also a serious crisis as far as gas is concerned. my colleague said that it is really not bad there well, the situation is actually not 14, but unfortunately only 13.5 billion cubic meters so far, and i am sure that naftogaz will not be able to, even if it wants to buy there in order to reach the mark of 19 billion. i think that the maximum that can be achieved is 15 billion, but e- taking into account the fact that this year the demand for energy resources has decreased by about 35-40%, because of the war it is clear that the basic huge enterprises are located in the zone of occupation . there is a lot

many other enterprises that consumed the same energy resources, therefore, in principle, those reserves of coal and natural gas should be enough for us, as for what to do in the event of serious shelling, as we see in kharkov, there are different cities today, where more than 300 boiler houses have already been destroyed in the occupation zone , up to 20 gb of all power generation capacity is damaged or completely destroyed in our country. that is, it is approximately 50% of all the available liquid generation capacity of ukraine, and this is us actually reduces the stability of the energy system of ukraine, that is, our power reserves are low enough this year, and you know that the main problem is the zaporizhia nuclear power plant, that is, if

we return it. and i believe that we will be able to return it, or i don't know when. time, but yesterday there was a decision to have a resolution of alarm for ukraine, where mega determined that this station must be urgently transferred to the control of ukraine and all russian troops there must leave - this is such a very powerful first step. i think that behind this there will be other steps and the international community together with our armed forces we will be able to free this station in the end - that's if it happens i think it will happen then under this scenario our entire energy system will significantly improve stability it will improve stability by an order of magnitude and then even if certain thermal power plants will be destroyed there or i don’t know the power plants

according to the energy source uh then and whether the boiler houses will be due to the fact that we will have enough resources - the power resource of nuclear generation we we will be able to compensate for this, because our energy system works as a whole. yes, for example , they destroyed tpp-5 there, yes, it is very bad. this is all critical, but ukrenergo switched it to other lines because there are also backup power supply lines, kharkiv was connected to the backup lines electricity lines to the unified energy system with electricity, the situation is more or less settled, you understand, but the problem may be that we are really in a very financial state, the state of many energy enterprises is in a very bad state practically most of the enterprises are on the verge of bankruptcy and therefore an important

factor is the export of electrical energy. you know that ukraine joined the nss in the spring of this year and today exports powerful electrical energy to the european union. today, this industry ranks after the agricultural agricultural sector, which means rural agriculture means metallurgy as well. it took the third and fourth place in terms of exports . recently the president promises that we will export electricity to poland, they have enough money for it. and how can we do it, will we have enough for our own needs this season, considering the fact that the zaporizhia nuclear power plant, which provides

a huge resource, is now in the hands of the occupier. thank you this is precisely the key question. if we do not return the zaporozhye nuclear power plant, this is such a critical and pessimistic scenario. yes, then we will not have such export opportunities. and we will not be able to compensate for the losses of our generation, which are formed due to the fact that e-e prices are regulated for the population and remain at an extremely low level. in fact, today we have 10 times lower prices for electric energy and natural gas than in european countries. until this compensatory mechanism may not become a key issue - this is the connection of our international partners, the first step has already been taken, the plus is the pressure. i think that our armed forces need more, more weapons, which means, accordingly, that

we will be able to gradually liberate the south of ukraine and take control of this station and this issue on today number one in order to pass, in my opinion, a stable, normal, disgraceful season. well, but otherwise, no matter how hard we try to dream and bring our victory closer , we have to talk about predicting all the scenarios, and in particular the most critical ones that can be a result er, some kind of accident on the same road, one way or another, and from the first days of the full-scale invasion, russia launched massive missile, bomb and artillery strikes against the critical infrastructure of ukraine, which the enemy tried to purposefully destroy enterprises, facilities, the destruction of which inevitably led to significant risks to the lives and health of civilians, power plants, transformer nodes, oil depots, gas pipelines, communication centers, railway stations and ports were under attack. such data, such actions of the

russian federation fall under the international legal definition of state terrorism in september the defeat of the occupiers in the kharkiv region, the enemy intensified attacks on ukrainian energy facilities, his plans to deprive the population of electricity and heat supply on the eve of the cold season but these strikes directly on hydroelectric structures in kryvyi rih hmm what are the russians hoping for ? it's not just the flooding of a specific area or the impossibility of hmm the construction of a pontoon crossing from our side. well , first of all, i think that the russians they are trying to drive the local self-government and all the residents of ukraine out of their minds so that we start to panic, their second plan is to prevent the troops from crossing these crossings into ukrainian cities and the third is definitely - these are blows that

reduce the amount of electricity and in general energy significantly weaken the energy security of ukraine and here they are all energy really as a terrorist country and continue to attack us it is obvious that objects of critical infrastructure and civilian objects that have nothing to do with the armed forces of ukraine and national resistance, which are active in ukraine, respectively, cities and villages are now preparing for these scenarios , considering the possibilities of passing the heating season, including there are also recommendations for condominiums and in our small settlements, villages, towns, boilers are being converted to renewable sources, solid fuel boilers, and to wood, which nobody is talking about now, but in the villages, it is quite logical that you can also heat communal facilities with firewood. infrastructure and private houses, and this is where it is now important for the state forestry agency to meet
