greetings, colleagues, thank you for your work , the news team continues to work, stay with us, we will tell you about the most important thing, the historic moment, as german defense minister boris pistorios commented, the signing of the plan. regarding the permanent placement of the bundesfer brigade in lithuania. the deployment schedule of the brigade to the eastern flank of nato directly on the border with russia was signed jointly with the lithuanian minister of defense arvidos anushavskes. according to the plan, german troops will arrive in lithuania permanently, starting from 2024. the core of german the brigade will consist of five battalions, including tank and artillery battalions.

never before has the bundeswehr deployed its forces on a permanent basis outside germany with a fixed contingent of soldiers. in the past, missions have always been temporary and variable. this is happening for the first time. let me remind you that we are talking about 4,800 soldiers and about 200 civilians who will begin their mission on a permanent basis as early as 2027. the russian army is putting more and more pressure on avdiivka. the enemy tries to sharpen the city from all sides, uses more directions for assaults. this was announced by the head of the military administration of the city, vitaliy barabash. he added that there are hundreds of shellings per day around the city, about 40 massive shellings and up to 10 aerial bombardments per day in avdiivka itself. despite the danger, more than a thousand townspeople remain there. last day it was possible to bring out only five. the ukrainian military is experiencing

a catastrophic lack of ammunition for soviet weapons - the commander of the tavria group, oleksandr tarnavskyi, said. this especially applies to artillery ammunition caliber 122 and 152 mm. there is also a shortage, and this also applies to tanks, their lack is felt throughout the front line. so globally, ukrainian defense forces are forced to switch to defense in all directions. today the enemy, well, i won't say that he stopped us, stopped us, but in some areas of the front we went on the defensive, we went to the defense of the opposition, because you know, we cannot be strong on all areas of the front, we are not adventurers, therefore, somewhere we pass, and somewhere we pass, we continue our respective offensive actions, along the way maneuver, by fire, by moving

forward, but we do not leave this intention, and again we are preparing our reserves for further large-scale actions of ours. united states deputy secretary of state for european and eurasian affairs james o'brien arrived in kyiv for a visit. ms. bridget brink, the us ambassador to ukraine, reported on the social network. she emphasized that this visit once again confirms that washington's support for ukraine is unwavering. complete isolation. the european union is considering the possibility of depriving hungary of the right to vote in order to approve aid ukraine. the financial times writes about it. it is about the allocation of 50 billion euros. last week, hungarian prime minister viktor orban welcomed the decision. therefore, the application of article seven of the treaty on the european union to hungary is being discussed in brussels. it allows a member country to be deprived of its right to vote.

violation of european legislation. the largest underground tunnel of hamas in history was discovered by the israeli army. militants used it for transport. israeli media reported that the military found a tunnel in northern gaza near the border. the tunnel is 4 km long, sometimes up to 50 m deep. it has several sewers, as well as water, electricity and utilities... this passage was used for raids on anti-civilian vehicles in bordering communities with gas. according to preliminary information, tzahal captured more than a thousand people from gaza. due to a large-scale flood in the australian city of cairns, the airport was closed. all international and domestic flights have been canceled for today. more than 10 thousand residents were left without electricity, many townspeople had to rescue... on boats, people claim to

have seen a crocodile swim by. the authorities also fear that the city may run out of drinking water. on weekends in the northern regions of the state. queensland experienced heavy rains due to tropical cyclone jasper. in one of the communities, more than three hundred residents had to be evacuated. previously, there were no casualties or injuries. at the same time, the prime minister of the state called the flood the worst natural disaster in the region. for independence of thought and elegance of style, a solemn awarding ceremony was held with the yuriy prize shevelev. who is this? gorych became the best ukrainian essayist and whose works received special awards, we will learn later. for 10 years in a row, on the birthday of linguist, historian of ukrainian literature, essayist yuriy shevelyov,

ukrainian essayists have been honored with a special award named after him. the best of the best are chosen by the chapter, which includes writers, critics and scientists. this. it turned out to be especially difficult for them, because they chose the decision of the chapter from among a record number of applicants, 14 authors also shows what books are needed today, what books are in demand in ukraine today, and if we are talking about a foreign audience that wants to know about ukraine and the circumstances in which we live, in which we fight for our independence, also determine which books win ukrainian awards today. the bronze angel, a traditional statuette, was awarded to the writer and cultural expert oleksandr mykhed, whose work is called job, the chronicles of the invasion was recognized as the best ukrainian book of essays in 2023. it is beautiful and

representative of modern ukrainian literature, those books that were on the long list, in short, i admire the work of my colleagues, and it is an extraordinary honor, because the previous years... well, in fact, those in the works that i learned to write, they were laureates, the figure of yury shevelyov is also extremely important for me and in general for the history of ukrainian literature and culture. the author started working on the book on the first day of the full-scale invasion. the work lasted 13 months. in it, he talked about what he had experienced, as well as about his parents, who were forced to do so were to remain in buchi under occupation. a lot of people in this country recognize themselves in this. and it was very important for us to choose a book not only for its aesthetic qualities, there were many such books, but still a book that resonates with many people. this year, several special awards were given, for his taste for life and

words, with deep gratitude to the hero of the initiative, andriy gudym, who died on july 4 near bakhmut, and his work... 69 spices for the heart were posthumously honored. for a virtuoso sequel the traditions of ukrainian neoclassicists in essay writing awarded andrii sodomora and his book under a stranger's shadow. for mastery and innovation in the essay genre , andriy gumenyuk received a special award from radioculture for the book africa. the purpose of each special award is to emphasize the importance of the essay genre, to emphasize the contribution that a certain person makes to... that this genre develops and grows in ukraine. yuriy shivelyov became the founder of modern ukrainian essay writing. therefore, the award named in his honor recognizes the contribution of ukrainian authors in the values ​​inherent in the essay genre. ukrainian authors should be heard in the world.

ukrainian authors and female authors, our culture is very strong, very interesting, no less interesting. like all other cultures, shevilyov was very supportive of this, and i think we are our prize, this is a prize for essay writing, for such a very non-standard way of thinking, we also try to contribute to this. the yuriy shevelyov prize was founded by the ukrainian pen, the kyiv-mohyla business school, the spirit and letter publishing house, the judaica center, and the ukrainian scientific institute of harvard university. since 2013, it has been awarded to... the best ukrainian essayists, artists whose words touch the soul. kateryna galko, oscar jansons, espresso tv channel. a separate intelligence brigade of the black forest needs repair of special vehicles. a faulty car at the front can cost health or even life. when

performing combat tasks, transport has an important function, but it quickly breaks down and needs timely repair. people hold on, but technology cannot. please join the collection of uah 100,000 in order to return special vehicles to working condition and continue work on adjusting artillery fire. together with you, we have already collected more than uah 20,000. for donation you can by the details you see on the screen. that's all for now, i tell you, see you at 4 p.m., read more about the important things on our espresso tv website, subscribe to our social media channels, stay close. well, today they started. negotiations on the accession of ukraine to the european union. the path, as we all understand, will be quite difficult and

possibly lengthy, but about the current moment now we will ask maria mezyntseva, people 's deputy of ukraine, deputy chairman of the verkhovna rada committee on integration of ukraine with the european union, chairman of the permanent delegation of ukraine to paria. thank you, mrs. maria, thank you in general to all those people, all those euro-optimists. this is not only about politicians, about officials, but... to all those people of good will who made it possible that we are now, well, i don't want to say celebrate, because we celebrate in war and while working, but this is an extremely important story , hence glory thank you to ukraine, absolutely, glory to the heroes , thank you very much, first of all, why, because my first broadcast about european integration in the 14th year was just on the espresso channel, so i am very grateful to you for that, for what you continue. it's easy to tell about a complicated thing, so we are very much looking forward

to several next steps: firstly, the very process of preparing the road map is important for us. road map, that is , our european commission is already ready for maximum approval, everyone is now asking what is needed... i am trying to explain that european integration is a process of daily work, i i am sure, we will add new experts to the secretariat of the european integration committee, and since our obligations within the framework of the seven criteria have been fulfilled, we are moving forward in general according to the association agreement, which is really different. went through this difficult process in different ways, we saw how

it is possible through negotiations, diplomacy and money, i am talking now about the financial aid package that was unlocked for hungary, and how interesting the situation turned out, the prime minister of hungary, no voting against and abstaining, he left room, so to save is. well, this is the number one question for us, how can we reform the decision-making process so that one partner does not block the will of many, and here you know, ukraine is once again becoming the leader of such driving processes, but we see mr. scholtz on the screen, who is probably was this person who advised mr. orbán to create such a... out of good will, sorry, that's the name of it, it's very important for us now that the technical process of our

assistance of 50 billion euros for the next three financial years, it is also approved, it is unblocked, i would say so, and all those comments about the fact that this is not yet the final decision are true, but we have passed the main path, that is, ukraine, the ministry of finance received 1.5 billion. of the daily tranche, yes, it is 18.5 billion from the general fund for the current year, and we can say that our budget ambitions, salary payments, salaries for the defense forces, the sphere of social protection, medical workers, the sphere of the population, which are the most vulnerable these guaranteed payments are kept in the state budget. for the 24th year, well, of course, very much we are waiting for such and new homework for

ukraine, i can say that we do not stand aside from work, already this week we have a working meeting at the level of the verkhovna rada and the office of mrs. stefanyshina, the government office for european integration, we will have new support projects, because well us all of ukraine... as you mentioned, we will have to integrate into europe, and i want to thank the public sector, non-governmental organizations, and every ukrainian, ukrainian, ukraine, every ukrainian. to the defense forces, who were approaching this important historical day, we you made certain predictions on your airwaves , and i remained very positive at that time , i am very glad that this prediction came true, and let's not forget about the allocation for the defense forces, both bilateral financial aid projects and

projectile production projects will continue, and also discusses. air defense system, involving our american canadian partners, because such cities as kharkiv, dnipro, odesa and others, being in close proximity to shelling before hostilities, accepting the large number of the new community, internally displaced persons, definitely deserve modern anti-aircraft systems, and this... also, that is exactly the topic that is being discussed, including at the congress of local regional authorities, which was recently held in lviv, that is, all these intertwined topics do not leave us, well, let's say this, we are probably the only parliament that does not go on vacation next year, we do not want any vacation, they will be after the victory, we are working

now further with partners, and it is very important that the presidency will have ... that is, six months the presidency of the european council, then spain, already the ambassador will hold a working meeting in kyiv this week, we are very glad that we are invited as european integrators. it is important for us that our partners support every step and understand that the european project will not take place without a strong ukraine, it has already been proven both on the battlefield and in the economic and energy fields. look, i wanted to clarify briefly about macrofin, yes, what are the important signals, because it 's as if orban went out to drink coffee, so to speak, at the historical moment when the voting, but he muttered something about the fact that the story can be more complicated with money, so we wanted to ask you accordingly, we do not want to say that we have already

calculated and spent these funds, but we understand how critically necessary they are for the preservation of our domestic of the economic balance, yes, you are absolutely right , these funds are, well, let's put it this way, let's not call it the budget of the management, let it be the budget of sustainability, and this is about the payments that i mentioned, as well as for the sustainability of our economy half of the budget is money, which come from partners, that is, we cost ourselves approximately 7 billion dollars a month. this figure varies from time to time, depending on the season, but it is very important for us, one of the few parliaments in europe, by the way, which has accepted, there are discussions in france, in germany, so far on the budget of the 24th year, the ukrainian for the fourth time, the parliament is voting on a budget that is not under the christmas tree,

and therefore the official final steps now depend on the partners, but our signals that we will receive... from brussels are absolutely positive, there remain legal clarifications, and therefore i am sure that at the next meetings of the verkhovna rada, we, including the ministry of finance, and other departments will be able to report on the positive course of these events. ms. maria, you mentioned that the ukrainian parliament will not go on vacation, but, for example, the polish government and the government of the united states are going to go on vacation, but we know that this week... is also important for us, because in the united states, discussions are still ongoing regarding the final wording of the package of legislation, which includes among others aid to ukraine, and we also have a problem with blocking the border, which is only getting worse, what can you say about this, how are we dealing with it and will we somehow manage

to convince our partners who have not yet gone on vacation, well at least , at least do something like that until now. well , the issue of the border is an unfortunate incident where the representative of the newly elected polish party, which was supported by only 7% of the population, and by the way, he has a business and logistics, not the largest, that is, not all logistics companies also supported him, was able to at a critical time to block the flow of import and export , including humanitarian aid, aid to our armed forces... across the polish-ukrainian border, we believe and see certain positive developments already with the new prime minister mr. tusk, why are these changes important for us and... we expect positive , because mr. tusk has very sufficient experience, as part of working with the european union, that is, the european union, he headed the european

council, that is, he was the head of the eu leaders, for a certain time, and we continue, you know, at the level, here we are recently with par' have returned, and there is ours polish colleagues from all parties explained the newly elected members of the delegation. what are you blocking, well, now your political colleagues are blocking not only the ukrainian border, they are also blocking import-export for poland, and here the question is how the economy of poland reacts, which, by the way, in absolute terms has gained through newly formed businesses, newly formed workers places, poland spent less on aid to ukraine than it received. as taxes paid on the ground from temporarily displaced persons, i.e. mostly ukrainian women who have moved temporarily, created businesses, jobs there

, and currently pay taxes, or have joined polish companies as a workforce, and it is a skilled, wonderful workforce, that is, poland has gained here, and we do not forget to talk about it with our partners, because we have to to be our brother-sister relations. eh, which have certain historical obstacles, but it is very important for us to explain it on a professional level, and as for the united states, the latter is no less important, yes indeed, well, the holidays are approaching, but we already had positive, and positive information about the house of representatives, by the way, there were more problems there than in the senate, and further, well, a joint, joint decision, we are sure that... both the house of representatives and the senate, that is, together, the congress will be able to reach a consensus , and we don't get tired of sending analytics

saying that the entire united states military industrial complex, the military-industrial complex, has been able to renew itself thanks to these inward investments that remain in the united states of america, from arizona to washington, in manufacturing capacity, job creation places payment of taxes, new contracts , and a relatively peaceful time for the united states, that is, it is not compared to the operations that were carried out in iraq, afghanistan, and it is with this that the united states can provide potential security in the pacific region, allocate additional allocations to partners in israel, and this package, in which ukraine has the lion's share, is more than 100 billion, which is allocated in ukraine. 1.4 billion, this is not only military aid, it is also aid in the form of demining projects, aid for people, that is, it

is an investment, an investment in the values ​​on which the united states was built, i am sure, the issue of the us-mexico border, which has been in the political debate for more than 40 years, it can be solved by other methods and ways, yes, really 700 people. who illegally cross the border of the united states of america on a day is not very pleasant, but we need to understand the nature of these crossings, how can we even help our colleagues, because we helped our colleagues in poland when russia created a special subversive operation on the border of poland and belarus in the 21st year, and these were clear intentions to bring. the so-called refugees and those who illegally tried to cross the border for the last time, we have literally one minute left, will there be some kind of intensification of cooperation with poland, well, on some practical

lines, so that, well, cooperation begins to be real, not declarative, mandatory tongue-in-cheek, the answer is short, mandatory, we have already started doing it, and believe me, on the grounds of various parliamentary assemblies and within work with our friendship group between'. cops , well, of course, at the diplomatic level of the ministry of foreign affairs, you know, there were also certain changes there, that is , we, well, we are focused only on positive results, the only thing that is important for us is the support of people so that they understand the reasons for this, and so that it does not play into the hands of our enemy, because we must remain united, thank you, we have to say goodbye to you already, maria mezyntseva, people's deputy of ukraine, deputy chairman. chairman of the permanent delegation of the verkhovna rada committee on ukraine's integration with the eu ukraine in parye was in touch with us, and now we will go on a short break, the spresso information marathon continues
