this su-30 aircraft disappeared from the radar after launching missiles over the odesa region, and later evidence of the destruction of this russian aircraft was found. so the main intelligence agency, its specialists, in my opinion, once again demonstrated their skill and speed of reaction on the battlefield, although even this was the black sea water area, where russian ships are afraid to move, but if planes fly in, then the result is as we now... we can see from the results of this last flight of the su-30 cm fighter of the russian federation, and today, by the way, an important study from the inform napalm community appeared, also dedicated to the su-30sm aircraft. it says that as of the 24th year, russia had 130 such aircraft, of which more than 15 were destroyed, one destroyed is the one we saw on the screen, but... the main thing

that this study is about, it is about the fact that french equipment from the companies tales and sam is actually on these planes, and these are displays, reaction systems, indicators and so on, and in order to operate these planes and bomb ukrainian cities, the russians need to maintain french equipment, and an inform investigation into palm says that russia now...maintains 130sm aircraft through the kazakh company irc group, which cooperates with the russian military. this investigation includes a significant amount of documentation, contracts, names of people, and primarily with this investigation, inform napalm seeks to draw attention to this fact and put an end to the opportunities that the enemy is currently using to bypass. and actually

force the french companies themselves to see how the russian federation is doing despite the sanctions maintains its combat potential through kazakhstan. i will add the data known to us to inform's research on palm, because in 22 we also did a certain research where we analyzed samples of russian equipment that were destroyed in the first months of hostilities and where the french equipment of the same companies was located. because in fact from the 15th to the 19th year, these companies received russian contracts worth more than 150 million euros, but what is the peculiarity, in fact, these contracts did not exist at all, there should not have been, because from the 14th year the european union imposed sanctions on the supply of weapons and equipment to the russian federation after the downing of the boeing nh-17, but these sanctions are still in effect. all the same, the two almost state-owned

companies talas and sazhem continued to supply equipment to the russian federation, either directly or through belarus, because belarus was such a certain hub where, in particular , sosna m tank sights were manufactured, which were placed on russian t-72 bm3 tanks, which carried out attacks on our cities, and we know, we ... investigated the fact that one of the tanks was destroyed near mariupol, there were french thermal imagers there, then k-502 helicopters were destroyed with the same thermal imagers and other military systems, which at the beginning of the war attacked our cities during the first attack. and in fact, all this suggests that it is now extremely important to find... opportunities not only to impose

sanctions against the russian federation, but also to take active actions with the involvement of the special services of nato, countries and the united states, in order to actually make it impossible for any - what options for the supply of technical equipment to the russian federation to bypass the existing sanctions, well, defense is just as important, or the most important in these conditions. industrial support of ukraine from our partners, so that the army of ukraine reached the level, to ensure a quick victory on the battlefield, and we will actually talk about it now. now we are joined by mykhailo samus, head of the analytical organization new geopolitics research network. mr. mykhailo, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you. mr. sergey, i congratulate you, glad to see high-ranking officials visited kyiv this week. on the part of the united states and

britain, secretary of state anthony blinken, minister of foreign affairs, and in fact, we, or the vast majority of ukrainian citizens, had expectations that this is about to... finally solve this issue, well, at least by striking deep into the russian territory, and then we read a series of publications that, in fact, high-ranking officials wanted to hear zelensky's plan for these strikes on russian territory and to discuss a long-term strategy for the coming year. i would like to did you appreciate the importance of the consequences of this visit and this strange story with permits for... the use of long-range weapons? well, yes, it seems to me that there are several reasons, one of the reasons is, of course, the election campaign, that is, in my opinion, according to my estimates, the election technologies, especially the headquarters of kamela harris, they contradict precisely

the possibility of allowing ukraine to attack russia , because it can lead to an escalation, or we can say an intensification of hostilities, an intensification of hostilities on both sides. and this, as far as i understand, is not in the interests of the democrats to the question of the russian-ukrainian war in general came to the fore in the haris election campaign, well, in principle, even in the debate between haris and trump, so it seems to me that the first reason is really the election campaign, i have the impression that political technologists are influence the politics of the united states more than the same secretary of state. who obviously supports ukraine, i got the impression that he had a personal mission when he came to kyiv now to demonstrate that he supports it the decision that he is absolutely in favor of this, but there are forces in washington, well, we know sullivan

burns, and now political technologists who manage and coordinate the election campaign of haris, who are against escalation at the front, have obviously joined, and that the strikes on russian territory are going well to escalation, this is clear, but again, here the arguments, it seems to me, that the opponents and their positions have weakened a lot after the information about the supply of iranian ballistic missiles to russia appeared, although, again , i have already seen such assessments , which is possible there were no such deliveries, it’s just the same war party, let’s say, or yastrubov in sympathy with blinkin, just organized these publications in order to support their own mission to kyiv, that is... a very complicated plot twists, but in reality everything is simple, this is this surrealistic model of war, in which we are now, when there is a looking glass, where the russians have placed their military infrastructure to ensure their

strategic operation against ukraine, is beyond the strikes of ukrainian forces, and the ukrainian forces are in full force, and not only the forces, of course, all ukrainians, all of ukraine is... in full danger of being struck by any weapon from russia, that is , there are jokes that nato, in principle, now protects russia more than ukraine , because they do not forbid russia to strike at ukraine, and ukraine is prohibited from striking at russia, that is, such a complex configuration, to be honest, we can only count on the emotional decision of president biden during a personal meeting with president zelensky in washington, which will soon to happen well, during this meeting, it is likely, or there is a high probability, that ukraine will present its plan for victory, because there is already a significant number of publications about it. the victory plan actually remains so secret, but in your opinion, what are the most principled, important things that should be

in this document, and how does the victory plan fit into this strategy and the kurdish military operation that is currently underway on russian territory. well, really, i think i also tried to figure it out, including talking to representatives of the ministry there of foreign affairs and so on, so far this is really a plan that is being developed in such a state of secrecy, maybe it is right, it will be shown to president biden and the candidates for the presidency of the united states harris and trump. as far as i understand the main basic element of this plan of victory. there is zelenskyi's peace plan, i.e. the 10 points we know about, including with the diplomatic intention of holding the second global peace summit, but there will be a military component as well, and that is about the military component, i think there is,

of course, a request to be allowed to hit russian territory with any weapons, what ukraine has and what is transferred by the western allies, including long-range atakams missiles , and i hope that permission will be granted to put jsm joint air surface standof missile which are similar to storm shadow scalp and by the way. and stormshadow and scalp depends on the decision of the united states, because there are american components, and the british cannot allow it on their own, well, in any case in this case, they can only contradict the decision of the biden administration. therefore, i think that the course operation is also included here, because it is an operation of an asymmetric nature, of an unexpected nature, which nevertheless changed the strategic picture of what is happening on the battlefield now. in fact , two different operations are taking place, one is an offensive russian operation in donbas, there is

an operation that is asymmetrical, i would say so, to define it as purely offensive or in some other way, i think it is better to say that it is asymmetrical, not in vain today president zelenskyi said: the russians have launched a counteroffensive, this is our plan, well, in principle, i support it based on this logic, that this is precisely why we started this operation in the kurt region, to... extract the maximum of russian reserves, reserves that should actually begin counteroffensive actions, because many ukrainians began to panic, how come, they began a counteroffensive in the kurt region, but in fact this is what we were trying to achieve, that is, to draw out the maximum of russian forces that will not look at ukrainian forces, but will counterattack, here the further steps and the further plan of our command, how to react to it, how to act further in the conditions are already being implemented. when obviously these actions of the russians were expected, so i think that the kurdish operation is an integral

part of this victory plan, i hope that there are other operations, we have been talking about them for a long time, but logic dictates that the kurdish operation cannot to be independent, if we are already talking about the victory plan and president zelensky is constantly talking about autumn as a possible, possible phase of completion of this war, he speaks so ambitiously about it, and it is obvious that... in the given conditions, when we take the information that we know, well, it does not yet fit into this logic, if president zelenskyi knows some other elements, then we can also talk about autumn, but of course, we will see in the future how events will develop, well, regarding autumn and other plans, we are talking about our victory plan, but i would like our partners to have such a victory plan, because it feels like we're trying to explain how we're going to be to carry out combat operations, but from the point of view of the approaches of our partners, another secret plan is actually the strategy

of the biden administration, which should be submitted to the congress this week, which also talks about the plan that is most in line with the interests of the united states, as recorded there, in your opinion, in this regard, there are two versions: on the one hand, to provide a lot of weapons so that ukraine quickly defeats the enemy, or on the contrary, to stretch it for a certain long time, so that sometimes... well, not by chance destroy russia with its nuclear weapons, what versions do you have? do you see in this strategic plan the plan of the united states itself? here, logic dictates such a thing that if the biden administration had codes in this secret plan or strategy, which is actually a requirement from congress to the administration, when the 61 billion in aid was allocated, then there was a requirement in the same law that the biden administration should... justify the necessity of allocating these 61 billion in retrospect, it is true, but invest in some kind of strategy, because this was the main

claim of trumpists and republicans in general. and if in fact the biden administration had in this strategy a plan for the victory of ukraine and what you described, that is, providing maximum assistance to the ukrainian offensive, ukrainian asymmetric operations, transfer of maximum weapons, so why not start implementing it right now, because in fact ... this is a submission to the congress of this secret plan in no way restricts, does not limit in any way and, in principle, does not in any way affect the activities of the administration itself, here actually the republicans themselves are already signing petitions asking the biden administration to withdraw restrictions on the use of long-range weapons against russian territory, that is , it seems to me, after all, the plan of the biden administration, it consists in ... in that classic, in the classic approach, that is, do not escalate, control the escalation and try to weaken

russia and provide ukraine with possible means to the continuation of hostilities, but which would not allow a categorical reversal of the situation at the front, unfortunately, this is the situation, today i saw a candidate for vice president from trump, who frankly spoke about the fact that in principles... the trump administration, it is ready to talk about the capitulation of ukraine in general, because the points he mentioned are refusal to join nato. this is in fact a rejection of the territories currently occupied by russia, although he must have forgotten about the kursk region there, but he said that the cessation of hostilities along the contact line, the creation of a delimited zone, the preservation of the sovereign state of ukraine, but at the same time ukraine becomes neutral and renounces entry into any allied formations, i.e

well, in fact, the capitulation of ukraine, and this is a really negative signal for ukraine. as far as we understand, the biden administration and, accordingly, the harris administration do not yet have a plan to support ukraine until victory, and trump and his vice presidential candidate generally have a capitulation plan, that is, one is a little better than the other, but it is not that we we would like to see from our american friends, well , i hope that during the visit to the united states... in a conversation with the president , zelenskyi will have arguments that will influence the position of the united states, to speed up the scale of military aid and the decision on long-range strikes, i really hope for that, mr. mykhailo, thank you very much for your expert assessments, as always i will remind our viewers that it was mykhailo samus, head of the analytical organization new geopolitics research network. these were the main

military results of this day, then the broadcast will be continued by vasyl zima, so stay tuned to the espresso channel. thanks to the speaker, thanks to his guest, well, of course, pessimistic expectations regarding the plan of our partners, regarding who and how sees the prospects of this war, the prospects of victory, the prospects of ukraine and russia, well, actually russia is the aggressor, it must lose, but you know, there are things that do not depend on us, there is the supply of weapons, whatever. the supply of weapons, financial assistance, permission to strike or not to strike, but there are things that definitely depend on us, that is to meet the needs of the armed forces of ukraine. i understand that the situation is not easy now, and today oleksandr morchevko will talk about inflation, and about the difficult situation in the energy sector, and the rise in consumer prices, and not much people in the economy who actually produce

products pay to the budget, but despite everything we continue to donate and continue to support our. of other defenders. let's do it now. i would like to remind you that the espresso tv channel and the vesna charity fund continue to collect funds for the purchase of modern drones and electronic warfare systems for the third separate assault brigade, as well as for the 110th and 47th mechanized brigades of the armed forces of ukraine. the defenders in the donetsk direction hold back heavy, massed forces every day enemy attacks. they defend our freedom, our future, our life. it is these warriors who are standing. and until the last they defended the avdiiv direction in the spring. you can see all the details on the screen, so you can join in, and we will listen to our heroes. good health, dear ukrainians, we are fighters of the first assault battalion of the third separate assault brigade, who defend our native land on the front lines, we urgently need your help, we need means

of radio-electronic warfare against small bpols, the enemy and comikat drones, please. we are asking for your help, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, glory, i will ask, my colleagues will tell me how much has already been collected there, as of the last information i received, we have collected approximately more than 1800 thousand, we already have much less than half left, and we will finish, as they say, this collection, well , now we will find out about the situation in sumy oblast, this night the enemy made a drone attack on the konotop, lover... yes, journalist kordon media is in touch with us, mrs. lyubov, congratulations you, congratulations, as i read today on to one of the sites of the sumy oblast, the enemy struck the very heart of konotop, houses were destroyed there, and infrastructure objects, trade networks, the enemy caused a lot of destruction, i would like you to tell us

more about the consequences of the enemy attack, overcoming these consequences, we are now we are talking right now about destruction, about... people's health, please. yes, the russians attacked the city of konotop with mortars, they hit the civil infrastructure and also the energy sector, as of lunchtime there were 37 consumers without electricity, just recently the mayor announced that the city has almost recovered, almost 100% of people already... have electricity, but there are still interruptions, as well as problems with water supply, mobile communication and the internet, but nezlan points are working in the areas. where people can charge their phones and catch the internet somewhere, as a result of being hit by shaheeds, 14 injured people, two of them

are now in a critical condition, they are in a coma, so we are monitoring the condition of the victims, that is, this is what we see now on the video, i think you can also see, it is just this center konotopa, these are residential buildings, as far as i understand, they are five-story. well, it is a great happiness that there are no casualties, as far as i understand, this is the residential building where these drones flew, and yes, it turned out that there were no casualties, high-rise buildings were damaged, seven high-rise buildings approximately, three of them with great destruction, one completely burned out , a school and a medical institution were also damaged, and well, you already talked about the energy supply and about the subscribers who were without... electricity, and what was managed was managed to be restored, well, but you know, i would like to ask about the situation in the energy sector in general, well, if

we are talking specifically about konotop, we will not talk about sumy oblast in general now, but it is possible, maybe there is more information about sumy oblast, how it is preparing for the autumn-winter period, now every the region there, or big cities are trying to come up with something, hide something somewhere, hide it, close energy facilities. or other protective structures, what is the situation in sumshchyna, what, as they say, are people expecting for autumn and winter, are they preparing to winter themselves, because it will not be easy, or you still hope that it will be possible to protect and plus or minus there will be heat and electricity, we hope that there will be, but of course that sumyshchyna is preparing for winter, and is preparing power banks, some other means by which... it would be possible to live through this difficult period for autumn, also winter, in general, according to the energy situation in sumy oblast,

we usually have about 100 settlements without electricity supply due to hostilities, that's about 30-40 thousand every day, but today in one night only + 37 were without electricity. well, that's why the situation with energy is constant changes, and it is complex. well , actually, every day we read ballistics on sumy region, drones on sumy region, and you know, people already think that, well, this is sumy region, we are used to it being there all the time, on the other hand, there is near kurchyna, where hostilities are also ongoing , the enemy is trying to dislodge our troops, and heavy fighting is going on, and again, surshchyna lives in anticipation of what will happen there as well, and this, one way or another, leads to the fact that people begin to think whether we should leave or not to leave, there are border communities, from where people are being evacuated because it is worth evacuating there,

anything can fly there banally, well, 113 people were evacuated from the border of sumy oblast, and in general, the problem with evacuating the population from border, and now near-front territories, let’s say how urgent it is and whether it is possible to provide people with the most necessary things, that is, under what guarantee... where they are evacuated, because we understand that someone is accepted somewhere, there are certain shelters, people have money, there are acquaintances, relatives, and there are people who simply tell them, leave, but where? to go, and who will receive them there, plus winter is starting, you don’t know, you can come to some hostel somewhere in khmelnytskyi region, relatively speaking, khmelnytskyi region has accepted many people, provides a lot of help, but we understand that such a thing can happen that they gave you a dormitory, but what will happen next, it is not known whether you will find a job, whether you will be able to live normally in the autumn-winter period, again, this is a question, then people say, well, for sure, i will be... here at least i have a stove, and i will burn wood, wood, please, that is, in fact, the situation with evacuation is ambiguous, and precisely

because people say that they can evacuate, but what will the government provide them, what will they receive, will they have a place to live, what to live for, and especially the problem with employment, so yes, from the beginning of august mandatory evacuation is ongoing in five of the border communities of the sumy district, but evacuations from the shovstyn and konotop districts have recently been added, because the situation with shelling has worsened significantly, in particular in the glukhiv district, there currently need to evacuate more than 30 000 people, but for the last one at the moment, only 261 people have left, and there are still more than 30,000, so the process of preparation for... evacuation continues, and we will see how it will all happen from what we see, with whom we communicate, with people from the border, then in they have one answer, that well... they left and

returned, because the cash payments are not enough to maintain housing, there are often problems in the dormitories, that is why the situation is like this with evacuation, well, in general, how, if we talk about the economic in general, and this is the last question, but the economic situation, it is very difficult to say, there are regions, where there are almost no people, where there are permanent ones, where there are more enterprises, there are villages. the point where the enterprise is, but in general, if we talk about the possibility of employment and finding a job that would provide at least the most basic needs in sumy oblast, how about that? it's difficult, it's actually very difficult, when i talked with internally displaced persons, usually the women there told me that they could get a job somewhere in the territory of the dormitory where it is located, and so that

specifically according to their education... find employment in sums, these are rare cases. thank you very much for participating, thank you for your comments, take care, lyubov sitak, kordon media journalist about the night attack of the enemy in the city of konotop, by the way, we remember it well, i think that all of you even remember this video, how the russians entered konotop in the first days of the war, and the local women, remembering the story of the konotop witch, grigory kvitka osnovyanenko, cursed. infantrymen, there were tankmen and so on, it was an indomitable story, well, but, you know, ukrainian indomitability, it really needs western help, we are not broken by character, our people are strong, but the war is modern, it is a lot of weapons and a lot of help, and we will also talk about this in particular with igor eisenberg, who joins our broadcast, he is a professor at manhattan university, mr. igor,

i congratulate you i congratulate you, mr. vasyly, i congratulate all espresso viewers, but it’s almost noon for you there, it’s already evening for us, i hope that by our evening something good will happen for ukraine, maybe a decision will be made, but we, let’s talk about a very important thing , this the permission that should be given, which should be given first of all by the united states of america, because even the very same storm shadow has components that are made in the usa, so the usa should give permission even to... to strike at the territory of russia not only by ms attack missiles, but also by storm shadow missiles, and here, as they say, there is this dramatic pause, so that this dramatic pause does not prove fruitless, which is now the main reason that this silence is prolonged, and waiting so, or let's wait a little longer, it keeps us in suspense, please, well, the newspaper

the guardian wrote that... great britain has given ukraine permission to already use stormshed missiles, which means that this, if so, is agreed with the united states. ah, you know, i do n't think it's going to be announced, neither great britain nor the united states are going to make a lot of statements about it. just as when the united states handed over attack missiles to ukraine, they did not announce it separately, but admitted after a few months that the missile had been handed over. actually we found out about it later how ukraine used them, i think it will be the same here, but the russians will be the first to find out that, absolutely, ukraine has permission to use the appropriate weapons, because they will feel it for themselves. here, you know, the second question also, which is raised in the ukrainian segment, is quite serious, well , fears, you know, because we are still, for example, i am

now again, it is not... any suspicion about certain officials in the west, but the same different people, and when, we remember the story that was voiced by the president of ukraine once upon a time, before the counteroffensive, which was supposed to take place in the 23rd year to the south, there in the zaporizhzhia region, the offensive plan was in the kremlin before it began to be implemented, and therefore it was not as successful as we would like, and now, when in the united states of america...they say, you give us the targets that you plan to strike, and again we have this segment of opinion leaders, people either in the military or close to the military, and they say, yeah, now we will go through the goals, and then there, well , naming certain names of those loyal to russia politicians who want to negotiate, they say, and then all this will be handed over, they will put anti-aircraft defense there and all these shots will be, as they say, in the milk, what is the reason, well, that is, you give

permission. we will not beat the place of storage there.
