attacks defend our freedom and future. it was these soldiers who stood to the last and defended the avdiiv direction in the spring. the brigades urgently need drones and modern means of countering enemy drones. our goal is uah 3.5 million. you can now see all the details on the screen, so join the gathering. our border guards from the hart brigade destroyed the anti-aircraft gun. installation of russians in kharkiv oblast. first, the enemy target was detected scorpion drone. subsequently, the drone struck an anti-aircraft gun at a firing position in a forest strip, the state border service informed. the accurate strike of the fpv drone also burned the ammunition of the invaders. syrsky's operation in kurshchyna surprised not only the russian occupiers, but also ukrainian soldiers, the wall street journal said. at the end. the chief of staff of the armed forces

of ukraine gathered senior officers for a secret meeting, where he revealed his plan. the first reaction of some soldiers was shock. the publication notes that the ukrainian commander-in-chief demonstrated the same abilities as slobozhnsk counteroffensive in 2022. syrsky uses unexpected actions to compensate for the lack of resources. however, russia's pressure in the pokrovsky direction is now real. the problem and nato made the first statement regarding ukraine's operation in the kursk region. the secretary general of the alliance jen stoltenberg emphasized that kyiv acts within its right to self-defense. he reminded that russia has been waging its war of aggression for more than 900 days, and numerous attacks were from kurshchyna. the secretary general admitted that the fighting on the territory of the russian federation is very risky, but armed forces of ukraine. must decide for themselves how

to defend their country. stoltenberg also rejected the kremlin's accusation that the west allegedly knew in advance about the plans of the ukrainians to break through the border. the united states of america refused to send its military to ukraine to service western equipment, including f-16 fighters. as the american edition of the wall street journal writes , the white house fears for the safety of personnel. in the states, it is hoped that the european countries will take responsibility for the maintenance of the fighters. the idea from sending contractors to ukraine hastily supported the pentagon, - the media add. however, president joe biden, along with his adviser jake sullivan, rejected the proposal. denmark was ready to transfer f-16 fighter jets to ukraine at the beginning of the war, but long discussions between the partners about the correctness of this decision prevented it.

this was announced by the prime minister of the country, mette fredriksen. the official did not specify who exactly slowed down the process, but she expressed her belief that kyiv. got western planes later than it should have. fredericksen also confirmed that denmark has no restrictions on the use of its weapons, including the f-16. brazil and ukraine, are there possible points of contact between these two distant states? to overcome the cultural distance, a delegation of brazilian artists visited kyiv. their council was met in the ukrainian pen. about international visits within the solidarity with ukraine program. see further. brazil is a key country in latin america and a member of brics, an association of states that includes russia in particular. but political differences do not stand in the way of cultural cooperation. in

within the framework of the ukrainian pen solidarity with ukraine program, three brazilian authors visited us to see the realities of life here. and tell your countrymen about them. i am in ukraine for the first time, and here i met incredible people, among them authors, filmmakers and intellectuals who decided to go to war, to the front. artists from brazil had the opportunity to see with their own eyes the places of tragedies in bucha, irpen, kharkiv and izyum. on the one hand, we visited a lot of impressive, but sad. try to save the war sites and tell all the stories, how fast you rebuilding what was destroyed, but also keeping some parts to preserve the memory and show the world what really happened here.

unlike flavia tavares, guto pashko is not in ukraine for the first time, he already has five films about the emigration of ukrainians. to brazil, after this visit i am preparing to shoot another one, i will make some documentaries, documentary films for that, but i still, i still need to think about whether i have grown or how to do it, because i want to show how ukraine was for me when i was the first time, when was the second, third, four times, and now, because it is not. what i see is, it is true, that it is, but for the war, because i remember many stories that the old people told in the village from that time. at the end of the visit, the members of the delegations, among whom are usually media people, authors, directors and public figures

, tell the world about what they saw with special inspiration, so that residents of countries both close to ukraine and very far away from ukraine will learn what is happening here. in fact, they were impressed by what they saw, they published many materials about ukraine in their media, they became and continue to become voices of ukraine in their countries, we maintain contact with them. the insolidarity with ukraine program runs from december 2022. during this time, the ukrainian pen received 16 delegations from the usa, european countries and the global south in kyiv. such retreats do not take place with the support of the international renaissance fund. by the end of 2024, we expect at least two more such visits. and to sports

news: a historic award at the paralympics in france. athletes viktor didukh and iryna shenkarova won bronze in the table tennis competition. approx. ukrainian final the duo lost to rivals from china with a score of 2:3. however, despite the defeat, the ukrainians still won medals. let me remind you, this is the first medal in the history of ukraine. in table tennis at the 2024 paralympics. currently , our team has nine awards at the tournament in paris. and that was the news for this time, you can read more as always on our website espresso tv, also follow us on social networks and watch us on youtube. we will see you at 3 p.m., later on the espresso tv channel there will also be a duet, but a female one. and it will be oksana vysychanska and marta olyarnyk.

them, modeling our future. every saturday at 13:10 with a repeat at 22:00. studio zahid with anton borkovsky at espresso. and we pick up the baton, we welcome everyone who watches espresso, everyone who joins us in this moment, and we encourage, not even encourage, we ask you to donate: 3.5 million we need to raise for drones and means of electronic warfare, this for three ukrainian divisions, for the third of the assault, 110th and 47th brigades, these are the very brigades that fought in ukrainian throughout the spring. in the east, hot, then still avdiiv, now pokrovsky directions, part of the fighters still remain there, defending

our country, defending us and you, our share is small, financially support as much as we can, i see that donations are flying, but it is still not enough of this amount so that we can buy the batch that is now very, very much needed at the front, so please support, and in the meantime we will go ahead and we will... talk to one of the soldiers, with ukrainian military and former minister of infrastructure of ukraine, diplomat, politician, major of the armed forces of ukraine, volodymyr omilyan. mr. volodymyr, glory to ukraine. i welcome you to the studio as a hero of glory. we know that, unfortunately, you were injured, we know that fortunately you are recovering and are now in the hospital waiting for continued treatment. we hope this is a healing process. is going at a good pace and you feel good, you have to reflect and calm down our viewers,

thank you very much for the wishes, well, if you take into account the fact that i was supposed to die there, then i myself i feel just great now, you know, volodymyr omolyan, ad after death, but the treatment is good, the doctors clearly know what they need to do, i am trying in every way to help in this, because i would really like to recover as soon as possible, everything will be fine. we would like your assessment of the events that are currently taking place on the russian-ukrainian front, we understand, the kurdish operation, it somewhat psychologically and emotionally raised the ukrainians and the military, but on the other hand, the situation in the pokrovsk region and even certain units from the south of our country is now very difficult overturned there, although, as some media write, it did not fundamentally change the situation, sir, mr. volodymyr, do you think that we are really faced with such a global problem now, when... the enemy can capture the city of pokrovsk and, as a result, discover various ways

to advance even further into the depths of our country, in particular, it is about the dnipropetrovsk region, which borders the donetsk region. what is your vision of this situation at the moment? the success of the kurdish operation undoubtedly has a large domestic and foreign political impact, of a positive nature. at the same time he has high risks because... we can't get troops from anywhere, we can't get artillery, tanks, air defense forces from anywhere, because if we move them to the kursk region. and liberate kurshchyna, then , unfortunately, we have an absolutely natural situation in the pokrovsky direction in donbas in general. was it deliberate, or was it necessary? well, let's see, president zelensky emphasizes some multi-stage plan that exists, and it seems that it is currently being implemented, but we are now actually at the point of revelation, whether he

there really is, or maybe something is not going according to plan. it is very difficult in donbas. i was in the kupinsky direction until recently. until august 24, and we clearly saw that we lack three basic things, proper fortifications, not enough personnel and not enough ammunition for the means of destruction that we have available, we would like more, of course, but that's it , what we have is what we have, and what we did with it is unknown to me, that is, i do not see the mass production of ukrainian weapons at ukrainian facilities of any type, and i do not see that... we did conclusions from mobilization, it is late, it seems that we have started this process, but so far we, but recruits in their ranks of their battalion, no less, or brigade, i have not seen during this entire period of time until the end of august, without men and without weapons to fight it is impossible, and i am glad that the commander-in-chief is now in the eastern direction, this shows priority, i understand that

the commander-in-chief must understand all the risks, not only military, but also political and economic, if we lose donbas. therefore, i hope that we will report now all efforts, but these efforts, they have a very clear price, this is the life of ukrainian soldiers, who have to pay with their lives for the lack of ammunition, for the lack of proper means, weapons, rebs, drones, and everything else. you have very rightly said that you think and want to hope that our military and political command understands what it is doing. here, you know, i can’t help but ask you about yesterday’s resignation of our air force commander of the armed forces of ukraine, olyschuk, just a few days earlier president zelenskyi at a press conference said that he cannot fire some people from his team because they killed chechens, a direct quote, they can be killed by russians, but it turns out that

president zelensky does not feel sorry for olashchuk for some reason, and he fires him, at the same time, we understand the most likely trigger for this dismissal... was the loss of the f-16, but as i learned from my, for example, personal sources, they wanted to remove olyschuk from his post earlier, but they were looking for an excuse to do it, as do you think the f-16 really became the trigger and or the reason why oleschuk, the person, the only one left from zaluzhny's team, lost his position? well, let 's start with the fact that olyschuk never belonged to zaluzhny's team, and... it so happened that he was appointed to his position and used a separate door in the bank, and with this, in fact, zaluzhny's commander-in-chief had a lot of problems, because it strengthened the not very good process of the armed forces of ukraine. why he was abandoned by his own friends is difficult to say, probably he knows the answers to this question better, but how was it done,

of course, this is wrong, because it definitely should not have been due to the harassment of a well-known people's deputy, who... gets her fame at the expense of banking insiders and will conduct banking politics, namely andrii borysovich yarmak. due to the work of the air force itself , it so happened that i had the honor of serving in the air defense for eight months, after 2.5 years in the army, where i volunteered. i see pros and cons, i don't know how directly this stick could relate, maybe there were some. own contributions here or vice versa i oversaw somewhere, but let's say, certain aspects of air defense were clearly myth -mythologized, yes, that is, they, let's say, did not correspond to reality a little, in other things we must give him credit, he was able to ensure, within the framework of the efforts that he had and the means and personnel, the proper defense

against the airspace of ukraine, in particular we received patriots. we got a lot of other western systems, we got the f-16, certainly there is a huge part in all of this and his effort, so i would still like when we fire the generals, when we fire commanders of individual directions, after all, we thanked them for their work when it was for something, there is something for sure here, we did it decently, and then there will be fewer conspiracy versions, but i will repeat it once again, you know this, the colossus of samsara... completed their full turn, probably if he was in zaluzhnyi's team, the situation would be a little different. mr. volodymyr, you already mentioned the kurshchyna, and now the satellite images appeared just then. and in the dynamics you can also trace what the russians did during the last few days, during the last week there, the fortifications, the trenches, the whole network,

they did it all very quickly, and they cover a huge area, now we will demonstrate it, on our graphics, here please look, this is actually in dynamics, look, it appears, and this just a few days, why in two years we in ukraine were not able to provide such a large-scale, thorough and high-quality network of engineering and fortification structures, because this applies not only to kharkiv region, not only to the north, it also applies to that pokrovsky region and dnipropetrovsk region, where we do not say that we are leaving russians, but they can move there if, for example, they get to pokrovsk, why doesn't it work here? well, unfortunately, we have lost our cossack traditions a little, in some ways, yes, though. most of them were preserved, because the cossacks really liked to dig in their camps and they were the masters of europe in terms of trenches and many other natural barriers. we don't like to dig, let's be

honest. we don't like to dig for many reasons, but nevertheless, i still believe that the basic reason is the chronic lack of personnel . as the russians do, they have a separate one a group of so-called mules, yes, which carry bc and everything... necessary for the work of assault groups, the assault groups themselves and separate groups of diggers. i have repeatedly observed a situation at the front when we hit them with fpv, then they simply moved to the side, waited for this fpv to fall, and then continued to dig. we don't have such a tradition, culture, we have more self-preservation, and that's why we frankly have a problem with digging at once, plus a lack of equipment. well, i don't know when. something to supply the armed forces, centralized equipment in the quantities that we need for trenches, for dugouts, for everything else, this is

specialized equipment, you won't always be able to get it right there, volunteers help a lot, we know them too, i hear, but it should have been the task of the state to provide the armed forces with the necessary equipment , they didn't, why is an open question, and thirdly, we unfortunately lost a lot of powerful ones. which were built until 2019, and we saw those photos separately, again of these deputies, which i mentioned, that they were simply left to their own devices, the russians in them entered and now these are already their defensive lines, this is a huge problem, but it again rests on the basic thing, the mobilization was carried out too late, it happened by chance, or is it a deliberate act to delay this process, and we have a situation that is, where. .. the fact is that we have very few defensive structures, in particular my battalion, which fought in the kupinsky direction, during this last campaign, where i was already wounded, then we went to completely unprepared positions, but we dug in,

here we must pay tribute to my combatant and soldiers, that they understood the importance of this and as much as possible, they dug in. in a word, i see that the russians also have something that we can learn from, namely the scheme that you talked about and it is also possible to adopt it. mr. volodymyr, what one. questions after the strikes on kharkov, we see that zelenskyy is again turning to our partners, we are asking for permission to strike deep into the territory of russia, and we are waiting for an answer, we are waiting for permission, and what would happen in your opinion, if we did not wait, if they just took it and hit it, well any western aid would stop us, by the way, we must pay attention to the fact that it is proceeding much more slowly and... in much smaller volumes than we hoped, maybe even agreed, and this is also not a random story, we need to draw appropriate conclusions here, not to say that the west does not help us again, but to expand

ukrainian production is necessary for the needs of the armed forces of ukraine. this is the only effective way if we want to win. it is very easy to blame the west for not adding something to us, or for giving us that amount, well, this is not a problem at all is creating, but you can leave tomorrow or announce it today, what's next? however, i would still like to see in operation this legendary field of ours, which was recently voiced by mr. president, i would like to see in operation the ukrainian ballistic missile, which was also said to have already passed combat there or successfully tested the last tests, but this there should be not individual strikes, but mass volleys on the territory of the russian federation, on wasteland, 10, 100 missiles at a time, at those targets that are interesting to us, in order to destroy the enemy's base, to cut logistics, and why slowly, mr. volodymyr, in your opinion, our partners are helping us, is it distrust of certain bodies, let's say, the ukrainian authorities, or is it

reluctance to escalate. situation or maybe there are other versions that actually explain why our partners help us so slowly? there may be another version that they do not have time to develop their own production, to scale it, and, that is, to produce a larger amount of everything that ukraine needs, and they, by the way , the voice themselves says about this that many leading countries the west are not ready for the third world war because of the insufficient number of their weapons, we saw that high precision weapons are great, but still used en masse... even imprecise weapons also give a very powerful result and an effect that is unpleasant for the opposite side, so i i hope that they draw conclusions as to why there is such a pause with us, there may be many explanations, in fact this is a very alarming bell, i do not know that the sverdenko fair with umirov is traveling there now, it seems that he went the same way, yes, but it is important to us not the trips of ukrainian officials, and the real weapons at the front, because you know,

yermak's photos... i still can't break a single rap or cry. mr. volodymyr, thank you for your analysis, thank you for your service, we wish you a speedy recovery, we wish you successful rehabilitation, and that exactly what you talked about, that you want to see rockets, drones, and ukrainian ballistics by the hundreds every day on russian settlements points, we also wish for it and hope to see it. major of the armed forces in... ukraine , diplomat, minister of infrastructure of ukraine in in the past, the politician volodymyr omylyan was with us, and with this we are taking a short break, we ask you to use this qr code, do not hesitate, donate, this is our common cause, we do not sacrifice our health or life, we do not take risks, therefore the wallet is the least that can help here, i just want to tell our viewers that you and i are actually getting up to uah 1.5 million in our

this. congregation, we are now missing a little less than 13 00, so we very much hope with oksana that during our broadcast we are with you we will arrive at this round number of uah 1,500, so let's please make us a holiday, make us good news, make us pleasant, and we, in turn, will try to work for you, inform you, analyze with our guests, so that you are in course of the most important thing, we will have , you know, a kind of exchange, we to you, you to us, or rather to our... military, because we are not doing it for ourselves, we are doing it for them, and we ask you to be generous to your donations to close this collection for three units and purchase such long awaited drones and rebs, the total amount is uah 3.5 million, this is quite a lot, please donate, in a few minutes after the break we will come back and talk about modern technologies, it technologies, various space raspberries, we will talk with our next guest, be with by us attention,
