ukraine. these did not allow the enemy to use the black sea as a springboard for landings, a springboard for attacks against our southern regions. our soldiers liberated snake island and thereby ensured the return of ukraine's control over the eastern part of the water area. precious toilets. management of the education department of the shevchenkiv district kyiv will be tried for embezzlement. how to say the kyiv prosecutor's office, the chief and her deputy purchased biotoilets for shelters in educational institutions at a price higher than the market price, as a result, the state budget did not add up to uah 370. this is not the first case against the head of the department, she is also accused of embezzling more than a million hryvnias, which should have been used for the equipment of storage facilities in schools and

the congress of the united states of america during the speech of secretary of state anthony blinken. people repeatedly interrupted the senate hearing, calling for a ceasefire in the gaza strip. one of the men shouted: "stop the fire. now and save the children of the gas. among those present were protesters with hands painted in red paint. officially, but without announcement, the representative of the armed forces of yemen. brigadier general yahya sariano said that his country's army struck israel. according to the general , ballistic and cruise missiles were launched across the country, as well as a large number of drones. everything to hit different targets. seriye anu noted that they continue to attack until, quote, israeli aggression will not stop. and in russia , recruitment of mercenaries to the wagner pmc was resumed.

this information was confirmed by the representative of the perm branch to the local media. he also added that the unit is now part of the national guard. it is managed by the son of the deceased yevgeny pavlo prigozhina. it is also a representative of why the wagnerites have everything as before, the only difference is that now they do not take people from places of deprivation of liberty. the coming winter may turn out to be more difficult than the previous one, and the main threat is the enemy's new attempts to plunge ukraine into darkness and cold. today, despite the sun and abnormal autumn heat, the south of the country is actively preparing for frost. more in the story of our odessa colleagues. andriy purchased the generator even before the major power outages caused by russian missile attacks on the ukrainian energy company infrastructure. previously, a resident of odessa used it only during short power outages, but during

last year's large-scale outages, the generator became a part of everyday life, it was he who provided light and heat at home. in our region in november-december last year , there was 3 hours of light per day, respectively. they worked without turning off, and it was necessary to simply allow the use of one generator, then let it rest, and after a day to turn on the second one, preparing for the new season, the odessa resident provided himself not only with gasoline, but also diesel generator, and also carried out maintenance of both devices. the generator consumes not only gasoline, but also oil, that is, for diesel generators , you need one fork, for gasoline generators, another, so you need to have one at home. many residents of odesa, like andriy, are actively preparing for winter, among those who live in apartments, candles and lamps that work on batteries have become especially popular. no, no, we prepared it for ourselves, we also have gas cans and

flashlights, we have everything, well, we buy candles, we buy wood chips, only a small amount the townspeople believe that there will be no shelling like last year, no, i am not preparing in any way, i just bought... a current converter for the car and that's all, there to charge phones, power banks, whatever will happen, it will happen, not only people are preparing for a hard winter, but also local authorities. points of invincibility, which were active last winter, are being actively deployed throughout the city. as of today , 362 inviolability points are ready for opening in odesa, of which 168 points are communal forms of ownership. we have started the preparation of points of indefeasibility of debts. as of today all points of interest in the city are equipped with everything you need. also, in odesa, there is still a program that encourages the purchase of generators, so residents of multi-apartment residential buildings who have purchased them have the opportunity to receive compensation from the city

budget. this, osmd must make a decision, at its meeting, to purchase an electric generator and purchase it not... for cash, but exclusively from its own account, transfer the funds for the purchase, if the amount will exceed, there will be more than 100 , 200, 300,000 uah, from the city government, from budget of the city of odesa, no more than uah 1,000, or no more than 70%, 70% will be transferred. according to the information of the company that serves the power grids of odesa, almost all damaged objects in the region have been restored or repaired, despite the fact that schedules of possible disconnections have already been developed, experts

hope that interruptions will be avoided this winter. from odessa for espresso tv channel. and in spite of everything, we will survive this winter and unite together for the sake of victory and help our armed forces of ukraine. that was all the news at the time. you can read more on our website espresso tv. also subscribe to us on telegram and watch us on youtube. and wait for the next news release. already at 6 p.m. the court of appeal of kyiv remanded the head of one of the largest ukrainian industrial enterprises, the poltava mining and processing plant, owned by the ferekpo company, in custody. the court, however,

reduced the amount of bail for the head. we believe that the next thing, that this is another example, arbitrariness on the part of the court, that this is another illegal decision that we can observe, we have given many arguments why the suspicion is groundless in general, why those accusations that are put forward, they do not arrive, do not find their confirmation. and we also noted a lot of arguments why in such size, and in any size. the law enforcement officers accused the chairman of the board of poltava gzk victor lotous of alleged illegal mining of minerals. the suspect rejects the accusation, says that he has been leading the company for 16 years and conscientiously fulfills his duties. poltava gzk has the appropriate special permit for

subsoil use and produces only under iron ore raw materials already for 50 years, besides, as the head of the enterprise declares, he is not going to move on from the investigation, i could disappear because the prosecution believes that i need to be in custody, i could disappear for a year or two already, because all these criminal cases, they were already started there a year ago, six months ago, a year and a half ago, there were criminal cases, but for me it was fundamentally important to leave ukraine, because i am sure that i am not guilty, i did not do anything, violation of the current legislation. the court did not pay attention and for information about the state of health of viktor lotous, which significantly deteriorated during the month of his stay in sizo. the court did not take into account the fact that the excessive amount of the bail contradicts the existing practice of both the ukrainian judiciary and the european court of human rights. according to the lawyers of the suspected top manager, this amount of the bail is essentially a preventive measure without alternative, which

indicates a violation of the requirements of the fifth article of the convention on the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms. the court was provided with relevant conclusions of the human rights institute regarding obvious violations of human rights during this process. also, the servants of themis refused the request of people's deputy mykhailo bonder, he wanted to take victor lotus as a surety. he will fulfill all the duties assigned to him. will appear and will not violate, as well as a number of those people whom i took as bail, these are mainly, yes, field workers, volunteers, there are military personnel, and who, when they were given to me as bail, did not violate the duties assigned to them . the company's lawyers emphasize that this and other cases against poltava gzk are illegal attempts to destabilize a large employer and investor in ukraine. economy and negatively

affects the investment image of ukraine. victor lotus will remain in custody until november 21. well, united states secretary of defense lloyd austin and secretary of state anthony blinken will today persuade congress to approve a single package of $106 billion to support ukraine and israel. and security of america's borders, reuters reports. this is an extremely important geopolitical signal, so let's wait and see in a couple of hours, it will become clear whether ostyan and blinken will succeed in convincing the american congressmen, and also an extremely important message from the deputy minister of community development of territories and infrastructure of ukraine, serhiy derkach. therefore, ukraine initiated a meeting with poland and the european commission due to the threat of exposing the border. at the meeting , they want to discuss issues related to the implementation

of memorandums on the capacity of ukrainian-polish checkpoints. ivanna klympush tsintsadze is in touch with us. national deputy of ukraine, chairman of the committee of the verkhovna rada on ukraine's integration into the eu. glory to ukraine. i congratulate you, i know that you have now returned from the european union, yes, well, but i would ask you to react to the seriousness of the situation on the ukrainian-polish border. polish. carriers are preparing to actively picket the border on november 3 and possibly block it. what are the prospects for solving this story? well, this is a very alarming signal for us. and i would say an alarm signal not in view of the fact that today, after all, in poland, the work of the previous government continues, it is quite likely that a new government may be formed and all these things, in particular, such a border closure and the demand of local

polish carriers to return to the dosed granting of a license for ukrainian transportation there, it... again, may be part of internal, internal political struggle, which still continues after the end of the elections in poland, and for us this is a critical story, due to the fact that the largest amount of cargo from ukraine goes precisely through, if we are talking about freight transportation by road, then it goes precisely through the post office, and therefore, obviously, it does not apply... exclusively to our cargo, which goes to poland directly, and which also goes to the countries of the european union and which goes further to ports, and can be transported to other third countries, so i really hope that the european commission

will get involved as much as possible in this situation and use its possible important influence on poland to prevent... from another such spiral of tension, which will be which will have a critical impact on our ability to export goods and, accordingly, on our ability to fill our budget. actually, mrs. ivanna, you have just returned from brussels and i would like to ask you about the climate in the european commission in general. we understand that various assessments of ukraine's readiness and ukraine's readiness to fulfill certain obligations of the european union are ongoing. we understand that everyone is now absorbed by the situation on the battlefield, everyone now begins to count american money, will or will not allocate american congressmen, appropriate help for our budget, but we understand that the european commission, the european union is our strategic partner and our strategic goal,

so what signals have you heard now, you know, several directions of our interaction with the european union. obviously, the key thing is that the european union continues to provide financing for the purchase of military weapons for ukraine, this is critically important, the 12th sanctions package is also important for us, which, after all, somewhere, well, work on it has intensified , that's for sure the biggest break between sanctions packages that was, the last one was adopted, if i'm not mistaken, in june. now we are talking about a ban on the purchase of russian diamonds, we insist that rosatom be sanctioned, well, sanctions were imposed on it and companies related to energo, to rosatom, but besides that

, we also indicated to our colleagues that despite the fact that they gave up russian gas, the purchase of liquefied gas. from russia since the 21st year has increased by 40% to the countries of the european union, therefore with one hand, the countries of the european union refused to purchase gas, but now they purchase it in liquefied form, and this must also be stopped, that is why there are these tracks of such rather difficult negotiations, but besides that, obviously we were interested in the european union in how potentially there will be a positive assessment of the mission of the european commission on ukraine's fulfillment of the seven requirements of the candidate and to what extent the european commission will recommend the european council to open negotiations with ukraine regarding membership, and i understand that this assessment will be mainly

positive, it is quite likely that it will contain additional or clarified recommendations for ukraine so that these negotiations can be opened already in december, and obviously this means that for us, the next month and a half until mid-december, when the meeting of the european council will take place at the highest level , it will be fundamentally important to work on potential recommendations within the country , but at the same time to work as efficiently as possible with all the capitals, because unfortunately, we see that the situation in some capitals, well, it is starting to become more active, let's say yes, working for the interests of the russian federation, and this is a dangerous signal for us. in addition, another discussion in the european union is currently taking place regarding the financing mechanism for ukraine, the mechanism for supporting ukraine, which

you and i have already heard a lot about, about 50 billion euros for the next five years, and many in ukraine for some reason believe that this is already the issue is resolved, and the europeans, actually, actually, ms. ivano, yes, we understand that this story is not finalized, and here, on the other hand, it is possible to possess some macroeconomic indicators, then... because when the negotiations regarding those 50 billion for ukraine for several years continued, the european union hoped, so to speak, for a clear and uncompromising position of the congress, but it did not quite happen as we would have liked, and we may have to to look for some additional financial tracks, i don't know if the world system is ready for such a solution , well, but we are entering a very difficult year from the financial aspect, very difficult, i say this very delicately, diplomatically, so 50 billion

from the european union, plus, maybe more in front of us, we face a serious challenge, first of all, even with regard to these 50 billion, because they are part of a larger review of the macro-financial indicators of the european union for the next four years, and unfortunately, today there is no, let's say, a final decision at the level of the european council regarding the allocation these 50 billion for ukraine, which means, if, let's say, this decision is adopted, it means that next year the european union will be ready for direct budget support of ukraine, to allocate 12 billion, unlike 18 billion that the european union allocated to us this year, and plus we had more than a billion dollars of monthly support from the united states of america, also for the ukrainian budget, and we see how things are developing, now even that is what president

biden addressed to congress, smaller sums are pledged there than the 1.1 billion that we had this year, and therefore the situation is quite complex, it is important for us that the european union makes a decision regarding these 50 billion, agrees on a legal mechanism, as they will be er, to borrow in order to then be borrowed from ukraine and how they will be allocated for ukraine, we also understand that this money, unlike this year's funds, will not be unconditional, and european colleagues, well, are actively waiting for a real thorough plan, which, the plan of ukraine, the so-called, as they call it, which should be submitted by the ukrainian government , on the basis of which the indicators will be approved, well, which will be such

structural, if you like, reference points, on the basis of which funds will be allocated to us, and if we do not cope with these indicators, then, well, the money will not automatically flow to ukraine, so far our colleagues have not received such a plan, and you and i know that the prime minister of ukraine recently, a few weeks ago, for example, presented to the ambassadors of the group of seven, some strange concept of protecting the so-called stability of democracy in ukraine, which definitely has nothing to do with a real and thorough plan of reforms and changes, so i hope that the government will continue this work and really present some serious document that will allow us to move on, as far as other income is concerned, well, yes, we also had funds that were also provided to ukraine for

borrowing through the mechanisms of the international monetary fund, and these were both american funds, but also funds from other, well, partner countries, for example , canada, for example, japan, for example, australia, other countries, so we still hope that these tools will continue to be used so that ukraine can pass the next one. and could perform basic, basic things in front of its citizens, but this also means for us, that we have to activate our economy despite the war and despite the terrible challenges we are facing today, yes mrs. iman, activating our economy, well , i would like this plan to succeed, because as you rightly pointed out, there is still no unconditional agreement from the side of the european union and regarding the allocation of those 50 billion euros to us, this is very ... that is, on the one hand, as far as i understand, the european union is preparing its mechanisms, but ukraine must also offer effective and

fundamentally convincing for european financiers, one or another history, therefore wanted i would like to ask you in a little more detail what the european union expects from its ukrainian partners from the government , that is, what it should look like, because, god forbid, of course, you know, there are various cases, unpleasant, they didn't have time, they didn't quite do it, what we were waiting for and we know how carefully and how bureaucratically they treat such colossal sums and such colossal fees. european bureaucrats, there is money, that's all, and they know how to count money, well, reasonably, they will demand basic things, these are changes in the realm of supremacy rights, and these are changes related to competitiveness within the country, these are changes related to transparency , predictability, comprehensibility and procedures and the same tax and

customs policy, and also, it will be about the fact that it is unacceptable to further centralize the system in ukraine, because our colleagues all are convinced that decentralization was almost the most successful reform that gave results, including in order for ukraine to be able to effectively repel the attack of the enemy, the enemy at the beginning of the 22nd year, and this, strictly speaking, the involvement of regional authorities, well, local communities to make certain decisions, and clear mechanisms for the distribution of funds to regions, they, too, will follow this very carefully, i think that there will also be conditions that will be related to the fact that ukraine - adheres to democratic norms and

procedures, democratic rules, for... the protection of both human rights, human freedoms, and the balance of power, because colleagues emphasize in the european union that apparently no one has canceled that for candidate countries, for countries negotiating membership, which are real apply for membership, the fulfillment of the copenhagen criteria is key, both in the economic sphere, but so obviously in the political sphere, oh yes, ms. ivano, well, if we talk, for example, about the urgent... action plan. in particular, we understand that now the world is going through a considerable, not just a political crisis. we're entering the scenarios described by, you know, huntington's vivid memory. that is, the near east is on fire, and there is a feeling that this flame can only expand. on the other hand , we understand that america is going through something like this, you know, restless, shaky political

period, yes, well, if the american presidential administration proves. to convince his congress of the need to support a state that has been attacked, well, one of the most powerful military forces on the european continent, this means that there is something to worry about, and accordingly, what additional risks are there for us, what would we have to react as soon as possible, preparing certain effective, not some ephemeral plans, but very specific, clear effective plans, in particular. well , maybe it is about some kind of in-depth cooperation with american congressmen, yes, because elections are elections in the united states, but they are now deciding in real time what is called our history, in particular, history, that is, no joke here, and if i have already touched on the american elections, how

the idea of ​​the european union is perceived in general to hold early elections in ukraine, well, not early, in the spring, but, well, i don't know where to start, because you asked quite a lot of questions, let's talk about what we need, how we need to work with the united states of america, well, first of all , we lost a certain the amount of time, and well, for example, back in the spring i suggested to the speaker of the ukrainian parliament to prepare visits, let's say, in cooperation with civil society, to various states, that is, not only to the court... to washington, to various states that are the most skeptical, skeptical, which, for example, which, for example, represent these or those, representatives, such right-wing radicals, representatives of the republican party, due to the fact that this, a change of mood, in the middle of the states, they
