we look further in our story about their help, cooperation and success stories. small and medium-sized businesses are now a reliable pillar of the economy. of the state, however it is difficult for such enterprises to stay afloat during a major war. access to the european market can ensure development and stability. in the eu, they also see value in small businesses and are happy to help them. ma small business is a source of innovation, a source of employment and a source of regional development, as well as a tool for digitalization and economic growth. these are all reasons we are here to support. however, in order to fully enter the international market, you need to work carefully. in particular, ukraine has a long way to go reforms and changes in legislation to harmonize norms with eu standards, deregulation will free business hands and open new opportunities. entrepreneurs will be able

to develop on their own, create new jobs, capacities and conquer foreign markets. now the european union actively supports this, provides grants... and loans , supports the private sector, provides technical assistance to the government. a medium-sized business is, first of all, jobs. and here it is important to support them, because they can recover, scale and create more jobs. if we talk about a micro-small business, we must not forget that this is always the beginning of scaling up and before turning into a medium-sized business. and this is about the necessary services that are needed by those people who return here, who live here. thousands of ukrainian entrepreneurs have already received a chance to scale their business thanks to grants from eufforzness. among them is mrs. nadiya, the owner of severodonetsk bakery. her family has been baking bakery products since 1992, but the invasion of the russians brought its

corrections the andrukhovy family had to flee to the bush and leave the already destroyed production premises, warehouses and equipment in their native town. the woman admits that she no longer had any hope of somehow writing grants, we will restore something, we could hardly believe how we could start, because a cafe is just like that, well, we have a bakery, here is a production, we in general, the oven is taken there, the scales are completely different, thanks to the financial support of the european union, the small bakery dim boulangerie got a new life in bucha, now the family andrukhovy once again treats all visitors with delicious croissants and freshly baked bread , as before, however, if it were not for grants, this business might not have happened, in general, it cost more than uah 8,000 to relaunch such a mini bakery. that was one of the first grants, we

got a bread oven, a proofing chamber, and that helped us get up and running. then we collected more international aid, a grant from mom, then we received a grant from wdi, and gradually, gradually, we employed people and gradually. well, they launched such a small one, but normal business. since the beginning of the full-scale war, the european union has allocated more than 1,000 grants for the development of small and medium-sized businesses in ukraine, of which 350 were given to women. in this way, the european union helped many ukrainians to return to their favorite business or start something unique and original. every new ukrainian business is a sure step towards economic... stability and a sure future. kateryna galko, oleksandr burlevich, espresso tv channel. and

i have to remind you about an important one collection for a car truck for the first separate special purpose brigade named after ivan bohon. the car is needed by the bugar unit, the command and artillery reconnaissance battery. our defenders are in the zone of active hostilities and recently conducted a successful operation, but the enemy is in their thickets. roadster, so it is important to send them a new one as soon as possible, the car has already been found, it just needs to be bought, you can see all the details on the screen now. we thank our viewers who constantly support the collection for the armed forces of ukraine. we i'll see you at 3:00 p.m., and in a moment, meet my colleague antin borkovskyi.

thank you to the news editors and thank you to our brilliant irina koval for this extremely important issue, well, which picks up the estate and i will inform you, dear tv viewers, about all the most important events of this day. of course, i will involve the most competent and informed experts. oleksiy hetman, a military analyst, reserve major of the national guard of ukraine, a veteran of the russian-ukrainian war, is now in touch with us. glory to ukraine, mr. hetman, i congratulate you, heroes of the word, something with the sound is not very good , well, let's hope, well, i can hear you well, yes, the rest of the details will now be clarified by our, now for the best, appropriate service, everything is fine, mr. oleksiy, look, i'll start with the commander of the operational-strategic direction, tavriy oleksandr tanavskyi. the occupiers began

the third wave of active actions as part of the offensive in the avdiiv direction. the commander assures that the ukrainian defenders will sustainably defend themselves. the total losses of the enemy last day amounted to 706 people. 51 units were destroyed of military equipment, including eight tanks, 13 anti-aircraft missiles, eight artillery pieces, two systems, two air defense systems, 15 air defense systems. so, we understand that the number of equipment lost , the number of personnel lost by the enemy, testify to the extremely high intensity of the fighting in the vdiiv direction, share, be kind now with your own thoughts and observations, what can we expect there now? well, we already understand that these actions of the russians, the attack directly in the ovdiiv direction, it is connected with the upcoming elections, until the presidential elections of the russian federation and he needs it, when he starts saying

that he is running for president, that it is supposed to be an election, although we understand that, no elections are taking place there, he needs certain positive ones, something positive on the front line, well , the russians elected a city where they could make some victories, well, they chose avdiivka, why avdiivka, well, they chose this place, once again. what they are doing there, there is no military, military sense, such that such forces are thrown there and try to capture this city, which, as it were, after that, the strategic situation on the front line will somehow change, there is nothing like that, it can, if they manage to do it, it will be a tactical success, nothing more, the american institute of war research says about it, sorry, even if they succeed. er, capture this city, then it will not be essential changes directly on the line

, on the front line, essential changes will not take place, mr. oleksiy, look, well, i think, the idea of ​​our enemy, it can be traced and it is obvious, we understand, that our command takes into account such threat, the enemy would like to do something, call this operation the avdiiv cauldron, and we understand why they are intensifying so much, in particular in the north in the south, we understand that our commander is y', we understand how great the losses are for the enemy, but the question is that they can still do something additional in this situation , they can add forces and means there in order to... really try to make it happen, so that they can surround avdiivka, so that they can report on this success, well, will they succeed it or not, well, depending on what will they add there, the troops they are adding are not the troops they are trying to bring to this, to this city of hostilities, they are moving troops along the front line, well, somewhere they will gain

courage, maybe they will weaken it even more, which some section of the front to reinforce for... nadiivka, well, let's see, it is possible , if there are a few more, not even brigades, but a division there, or 20 regiments there, then it is quite possible that they will succeed in some something, something they will succeed, well here, it is, well, us we understand that when the enemy concentrates in one place, a significant amount of personnel and equipment, then we will have to withdraw to more prepared lines and not...' god forbid harrows give us the opportunity to sharpen our garrison directly in that, well, in avdiivka, it 's like everything here obviously and at the same time, the enemy is quite active in the kupinsky direction, so last day, about 12 attacks were recorded. i don't know the level of intensity , i think it all depends on one or another specific tactical situation that will now be

in the kupyan region, or it will be so to speak an attempt to distract from pulling resources from the avdiiv direction, or will it be an attempt, so to speak, to create an additional threat there , well, we understand, to the same kupinsk junction, well, yes, they, they are trying to go to the kupinsk junction, to worsen our logistical capabilities in that place, they dream of reaching the oskil river, we can see it there on the map now, it is in the left corner, well, even if they manage to do it, there they are, well, that’s the maximum they can get to the askil river, because there is gorny ridge from the right bank, western shore, and to advance further there, they will not have the opportunity at all, so they say, the military personnel who are conducting combat operations there, they use the tactics of non -fire, armored waders, so-called, that is, they want to use there, they use tank strikes, there is a large ,

a large number in that direction, it is meant, not directly on the kupen. direction, in general on the kupinsko-lymansky estuary, let's say this, on the kupinsko-lymansk section of the front, there are a large number of troops, about 200 heavy equipment up to 1000 tanks, there somewhere 130,000 military personnel, they have up to there, they want to include the 25th reserve army, which they have created, so, well, there are again more than 850 barrel artillery, more, almost... 500, reactive salvo fire systems, including thermoboric, borotynaa toncepyoks and so on, that is, there is a powerful group there, and well, but there, they, well, they already tried to take offensive actions there and manage to reach the kupinsk nodal point or make some significant successes there, which can be shown in the mass media, in the russian

federation, they are not capable , that's why they chose, they tried... there they tried to attack, they tried, well, to counterattack near er, tick, andriivka on bakhmut, well , it's not interesting to tell the russians that they are doing something there again they are winning in bakhmut, they didn't succeed with maryanka, well, they don't always succeed with coal, because there we occupy a very favorable position, and that's why there will be an audio track, something bigger, so that you can tell beautifully by means of their disinformation in them no, so... widow almost not by exclusion they came to this. mr. oleksiy, the left-bank bridgehead, in particular, refers to the kherson region and its temporarily occupied part, we understand that the fighting is ongoing, the fighting is tough and extremely difficult, that is, there is fire control, and there is personnel, we understand that there is a powerful enemy group, somewhere over 50,000

people who are located in the operational zone, which is now important, noted, analyzing the situation on the left bank of the dnieper in the kherson region, there were reports that we they created a certain bridgehead there, it cannot be considered a bridgehead, there are several groups of our groups, it is the marines , they have certain, well, certain areas, they are engaged in it, it is along there, well, maybe we can count up to 20 km there, we strive to have positions there, but this is not a bridgehead, it is the preparation of a bridgehead, because when we advance there, from the coast to 3.8 km, there is a desire to advance at least 20 km, then, then it will be a section , which we control 20 times more widely. and 20 in pigeons, then 20 by 20, then this can be considered a city on which it is possible to create a bridgehead, which means that certain

crossing pontoons will most likely be built there, well, other things in order to transport already heavy equipment, and this will give or not give the enemy the opportunity to fire at the coast of the dnieper, especially kherson, its own long-range artillery will only be left, well, rockets with a missile attack system, well, that’s already... it’s not artillery anymore, it’s much , well, not easier, you can’t say that, easier, but compared to artillery fire, it’s a completely different matter , that's why now it can be considered that preparations are underway for the creation of a bridgehead from which we will move on, we planned to do this at the beginning of the summer, when our offensive actions began in the direction of melitopol, berdyansk, and were to begin immediately in the kherson region, but after the explosion of kahos, it became impossible, so we had to wait for the water to recede and now do what

we are doing now, well, on the other hand, we also understand that the enemy is watching the operational situation extremely carefully, there we understand, we understand that the enemy knows about the importance of pontoons, we understand that the enemy has the appropriate aircraft there, if the americans and our other western partners would hasten a little to provide the f16, the situation would be fundamentally different, here we have problems with russian aviation, well, the key story is how well we can cope with the sorties of russian tactical fighters, attack aircraft and so on, because we are talking about cabs, cabs are barbaric, it is inaccurate, not always effective, but in any case deadly dangerous, well airplanes when u there will be us, i hope that soon we will see our f-16s, then yes, it will really be possible to repel these russian planes, because the f16 is better in terms of its capabilities than any russian plane, if it will be an air battle, then even an average one

the quality of the pilot, on the f16 will defeat the pilot, even very qualified on any miga or, well , because it is very simple here, the f-16 is not so noticeable, it has less effective surface than russian planes, well, for example, at f16, the effective reflective surface is, this is conditional, equal to 1.2 m, on may 29, 29 m. the radar that is on the onboard radar that is on the f-16 sees 30-40 km further than the onboard radars on russian planes, and the missiles that it uses can use air-to-air, f16, they also shoot 30-40 km further than these r7s, there are r10s, because the russians have missiles there, which are also air-to-air, that's why. air combat, well, wait, a priori, as they say, in favor of the f16 aircraft, it will see the enemy earlier, from a greater distance, well , the same, now we are fighting contraband,

it’s not similar, but it’s the same logic, dudes, our howitzers that we use, they shoot further than, and shoot more accurately than any artillery of the russians, so we have an advantage there 1 to 10, even more, in counterbatteries ... it will be the same with planes , we simply continue to see, our aircraft will continue to see and continue to shoot, and will be less visible to the enemy, to his anti-aircraft defense means, it’s just a question of whether they will have time to raise additional reserves now, for example, from freshly trained russian units, or whether they will use strategic reserve, which in they are there, that is, or transfer parts from the same zaporizhzhia direction, we have one and a half minutes of a strategic strategic reserve of some kind inside the russian so that there would be a large number of manpower to the equipment, there is simply not there, if there was, they would have attached this strategic reserve, and not moved the troops along the front line, they move troops more than

they add something somewhere, they don't have any strategic reserve, there this equipment is difficult to store, and they have already used half of it, and it only allows 50, for example tanks a month, because they need to be put in order there, about 50 may be enough, plus 20, they can produce at their enterprise, in addition, 70, and we are depleting, well, three times more per month than they can supply there , that's why they are technical and behave a little carefully with it, and manpower, please, how much is there, but once again it is not some kind of strategic one, there is not another army of the size of 455 there, as it is now on our line front, in russia, as they can add, there is no such thing there, thank you, mr. oleksiy, for this professional and extremely interesting conversation, oleksiy hetman, reserve major. of the national guard of ukraine, a veteran of the russian-ukrainian war, worked on the live broadcast of espresso, and i am turning to you, dear tv viewers, with another request to help me organize
