oleksiy brecht became acting head of ukrenergo, he was officially appointed by the supervisory board, the press service of the energy company reported. he has been working for ukrenergo for 23 years, and most recently he was a member of the management and was responsible for the operation, restoration and development of the system network transfers in his new position, he will replace volodymyr kudrytskyi, who was dismissed at the beginning of september. finland announced a new aid package for ukraine worth 118 million euros. the relevant decision was made by the country's president, alexander stup, at the government's proposal. this is already the 25th aid package from helsinki. the new batch will include additional defense equipment. however, which one the allies do not disclose. in general, the finns have already handed over military equipment worth more than 2 billion to the ukrainian army. france is summoning the temporary charge

d'affaires of iran in paris. the reason for this it was tehran's decision to supply additional ones. russia's missiles, reuters reports. let me remind you that this week us defense secretary anthony blinken said that russia has received ballistic missiles from iran and will probably use them in the war in ukraine within a few weeks. against this background, despite iran's objections, the united states of america has already imposed new sanctions against the allies of the aggressor country. the minister of foreign affairs came to the ukrainian capital. gabriellus lansbergis. i returned to kyiv, because for this you need friends - wrote the head mfa in social networks. we will remind, on september 11 , ukraine and lithuania signed a memorandum on cooperation in the defense sphere. for more than

a week, five families have been living in a de-conserved modular town on polyuya street in lviv. this is temporary housing for people whose homes were damaged or... destroyed by the russian missile attack on the city on september 4. the families will live there until their homes are repaired or new housing is provided. in total, the modular town can host up to 70 families. eight people live here, it's five families, it's modular town, consists of two parts, and it was opened in order to house people from the east, affected by the war, and considering that mo... is a four-bed room, that is , the total number of beds is 320, well, the conditions are normal, that is, you can live in the body of the house has bunk beds, there are windows, there is a battery, there are wardrobes, that is, let’s say, you can live,

three meals a day, that is, they are fed quite well, that is, i... what could be worse, but i will tell you that they are fed, well, how are ours guys culture of kharkiv in prykarpattia, performances, book presentations and literary discussions will be held as part of the kharkiv unrelieved culture festival in ivano-frankivsk. the main goal of the project is to introduce visitors to kharkiv artists and their creative heritage during the war. among the guests'. kharkiv immigrants are also expected, the festival will last until the end of the week. you can expect such kurash and dvizh, well, because the people of kharkiv, they are extremely active, they are so extremely experimental, they and where

the people of kharkiv appear, it seems to me that the spirit of restlessness that mykola wrote about appears the turbulent, when those incredible 20s began, why i talk about the 20s, because our museum and the focus of the basis of our collection is the 20s. years, so expect from these few days an incredible saturation of diversity, because the program is very different, when we talked about the program, we wanted to tell something about the city, that's how the idea arose to present, well, one of the... discussions, and there was a project that what to do with these buildings, this is a film curated and co-curated by mykola naboka, it was shot precisely about reinterpretation through art of kharkiv buildings, which is actually soviet

architecture, including constructivism, and when we came up with what we would show, confirmed, we started walking around frankivsk and seeing constructivist buildings. and that was the news at that time, our team is working to ensure that you see an updated news release already at 4 p.m. you can read more on our website and in our social networks. my colleagues marta oliarnyk and antin barkovskii continue the broadcast. get closer to victory together with tssoa, sbu. join one of the best special forces in the country. we are expanding and announcing recruitment, inviting civilian specialists from various

president, who criticized the chinese-brazilian so -called proposals quite harshly and quite adequately. well, now i will quote our president in order to somehow illuminate this in memory. what does it mean to just sit down and talk? he is a russian dictator, a murderer. i have to be strong to sit down and talk about something. he, putin, must take steps, show that he wants the war to end. you can't just do it like that to say, - stressed the president of ukraine, we must take steps towards each other. he came in, it's about putin, killed people, seized territories, and now lula, the brazilian president, says: let them talk, i could just talk to lula, because he is not my enemy, and brazil and ukraine have absolutely normal relations, extremely harsh explanation and outline of the ukrainian position. volodymyr zelenskyi. well, the official statement, or rather the reaction,

of the chinese foreign ministry has already arrived. in beijing, they said that they were leading negotiations with kyiv regarding the sino-brazilian peace plan, i am quoting maonin now. now the first priority is to de-escalate the conflict, so the six-point initiative of china and brazil for the first time contains a call to the respective parties to refrain from expanding the front line and intensifying hostilities, as well as to avoid. steps that can provoke an escalation at the front, this is such cunning chinese diplomacy, well, let's move on, inform about the important thing, remind that today ukraine returned 49 people from captivity, in a long time it was also possible to return 15 azov citizens, among them mostly women, and also among those people who were returned today, the crimean tatar woman leniya umirova, who was held captive by the russians for two years. our correspondents spoke with relatives. the girl's volume by aziz umirov. let's hear his comment on this matter. in

december 2022, my sister went to occupied crimea to take care of her seriously ill father, who underwent an operation. however, when crossing the border , she was detained by russian security forces in connection with her refusal to obtain a russian passport. in 2014, after that for 5 months, they falsified a criminal case and kept her under administrative arrest. every 14 days, continuing the arrest under new invented circumstances. among these circumstances were the refusal to get out of the escort vehicle, the refusal to return the phone after a phone call to the parents. after that, in may 2023, she herself by plane and... from vladikavkaz to moscow, where she is currently in the fsb li forrtovo detention center on suspicion

of espionage for the benefit of ukraine and faces 20 years in prison, and the case is completely classified, short letters that are passing the censorship procedure, the only opportunity to learn from her about her condition, about her health, in particular, which is the latest. worsened at times, because it is very important, it is important to highlight every violation of the rights of our citizens in the occupied territory, because cases like my sister's case, they are done in order to intimidate... citizens of ukraine who are loyal to ukraine and are waiting the liberation of crimea. well, this was his comment, which was recorded by our journalists on the eve of this dismissal, and today there is good news for both my brother and for the whole family, she was released from captivity, as well as 48 other ukrainians of various kinds, and women and men from

various structures of the armed forces of the state border service, most importantly, there is also azov. which in july of the 23rd year the russians wanted to give back, that is, for more than a year the people of azov did not return home at all. well, we will now add igor popov, an expert of the analytical center united ukraine, to our team. mr. igor, we congratulate you. good day well, a couple of minutes ago i quoted the statement of maoning, the spokeswoman of the chinese ministry of foreign affairs, yes. well, maoning, voiced the chinese position, the sino-brazilian position. the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi extremely harshly, but honestly characterized the impossibility and inadmissibility of the so-called sit down and talk, right? well, because we understand what putin would demand? putin would demand that the result of their aggression be fixed, so to speak, in one way or another on paper or behind the scenes. well, now beijing has announced that they will continue

to negotiate with kyiv regarding the sino-brazilian peace plan, i quote: straight talk. de-escalation is now the top priority of the chinese foreign ministry conflict, therefore, in the six-point initiative of china and brazil, the first contains a call to the relevant parties to refrain from expanding the front line and intensifying hostilities, and also urges them to avoid steps that could provoke an escalation at the front. mr. igor, i would like to ask you now to describe what, in your opinion, is contained in beijing's position and... and if we are talking about negotiations, what agenda are they trying to promote in beijing and in brazil? well, negotiations, are we talking about negotiations with our capital and kyiv? indeed, with china china has its own interests, and china would not like russia to be defeated in this war, because it will be russia's defeat and the west's gain, and china has

its own geopolitical civilization with the west. not a confrontation. and so china is pushing its plan, which is effectively a tie-breaker. it is clear that in such a situation, ukraine is not satisfied with this. today, russia generally demands legal recognition of the occupation of four regions of crimea, so that the countries of the world agree that this is now russian territory, of course this will never happen. from my side president zelensky demands that there be peace. was fair and the peace was stable, i.e. fair - this means that the territorial integrity of ukraine is preserved, and stable, so that there are guarantees that a new war does not start very quickly, that is , today the offers of ukraine and russia are mutually exclusive, and therefore in in all these statements, we immediately seek that no one weakens ukraine's position, on the contrary

, ukraine tries to find support for at least some points of our positions well, look, mr. igor, in fact, according to the way the west is currently supporting ukraine, we also cannot positively say that the west wants russia to lose this war, it seems that the world just wants this war to end in in one form or another. of course, this is a question of negotiations, a question of discussions, a question of reaching certain compromises, but here... i am simply afraid of the moment that in the classical sense we will not be able to get this fair peace, unfortunately, in these realities, and here we would certainly it was fair to the president and the authorities to say society, what prospects we can count on in general, don't you think that perhaps it is worth starting this dialogue with your citizens in order to give them an understanding of

what a just peace is, and under the existing circumstances. what can it be? a very valid remark, i agree with the fact that in order for ukraine to achieve its goals in this war, the support of the west is critically important to us, but to call them partners or allies, it depends on how willing they are to continue this support to what extent, because we see and certain delays in the supply of weapons and ammunition, partly this is objective, they do not have enough of their own. these reserves are partly subjective, because indeed you are right that quite a few politicians in the west also believe that it is possible to fix a draw. regarding communication, society. today, i see the sequence that the authorities are proposing, that first intensive negotiations with the west itself, that is why both blinkin and

lemmy came, and the big moment of truth will be literally in a week in new york, during the high -level week at the un general assembly, that is, there a meeting with zelenskyi biden is planned, a number of bilateral closed meetings with the leaders are planned there. western countries, and there it will be clear how much they support the ukrainian plan that zelensky will take to new york, because before that, to say something publicly is the same as handing over our directives, but before every international intelligence negotiation are hunting, but what red lines do they have, what are the directives to press precisely to those red lines, and therefore there will be no communication to the un at the official level exactly, after that... i think we will already see certain statements, we can discuss it now at the expert level, that is, i can express there my expert vision that

there will be two very important points for ukraine: one is in no if not to recognize that russia occupied these territories and now it means that it is part of russia and to demand this from all countries, so far no one recognizes this, even the occupation of crimea, no one recognizes, not even china, not even iran recognizes that crimea is russia, that is, you have to... stand on it and you can't stand here to give in, and the second very important issue, the russians raise it every time, they call it demilitarization, they want the ukrainian armed forces to be weak, small in number and poorly armed, and this is exactly where we need to put our full weight on, because nato still has us they do not call, and it is the defense forces of ukraine that are the main guarantor of our security, and therefore we need a full-fledged, well -armed, high-tech armed forces of ukraine, and therefore no restrictions. it cannot be here, we must have a good personnel system reserve, we must have combat aircraft, long-range weapons, so that the price of a new war will be

very high, there may be some negotiations on the rest of the positions, i am not saying compromises, but this is probably in my subjective opinion, these are two key points, well mr. igor, you know, we are leaning on one weak link here, as we understand, we are talking about a russian dictator, yes a russian dictator. no wonder at the time in an absolutely moronic way, and even part of the kremlin elites recognized this, he went to an unprecedented act, i.e. the inclusion of a fake, illegal and so on, its price is zero, when we talk about international law, well, but the inclusion of even not yet occupied lands into the russian federation, then carrying out the appropriate procedures, seals, stamps, that is, it does not make any sense at all. in view of international law and so on, but they did it and in this way he tried to cut off any environment that would like to negotiate a return to

the borders of this or that year, well, to make it possible at all, this is one point , the second moment, so we understand that he stands and insists on this and does it both publicly and privately, and at the same time he regularly sends us all to the so-called ... istanbul talks, yes, well, according to putin, something was achieved, yes, others the participants in the process deny this matter, we understand that nothing was initialed, and we understand that the negotiations of certain delegations without initials and without public evaluation are worth little, but here is putin's position, how should we deal with it, yes, because it is unacceptable, neither for international law, nor even less for of the ukrainian people and the ukrainian president. apparently this is very important and one of the key issues in all these closed shuttle diplomatic negotiations. russia incorporated the illegally seized

territories into its constitution and now has territorial claims. as one of the options discussed, all the other countries still recognize that these territories have the status of occupied, that is, not annexed not on the basis of some referendum, they are temporarily occupied territories that belong. ukraine, and the question is that sooner or later they will have to return. at certain stages, russia suggests: let's hold a new referendum now, in 5 years, we don't need to do that either, because after 2.5 years of propaganda, 10 years of propaganda in donbas, any referendums can be held there, even with international by observers, and its results will be predictable, so that's not an option either, but that doesn't mean that anyone will... admit again that it's part of russia, so it might remain a gray area in that case, but for now it's all our guesses, and i repeat, a lot depends

depending on how determined the leader is. western countries to provide support to ukraine, both military support and financial support, we see that we have a lack of resources, ukraine spends everything it earns on the war, and thus our budget does not grow, both this year and next year's budget has a large deficit, and we must talk about those bonds for 50 billion, at the expense of frozen russian assets, and somehow this situation got stuck, again, and the west, the big seven, made a political... decision to issue these bonds, to transfer the funds to ukraine, but none so far no technical step has been taken, that is, all these arguments, they also strengthen the position of ukraine, in any official, unofficial, so far negotiations, and in general, all countries are watching who has what arguments, so the russians brought 200 iranian missiles there, yes , that means they have strengthened their position, if ukraine receives these permits to use western missiles, this is again a stronger

position, even if... tomorrow ukraine does not use them, it is still an additional sword, an additional argument for all diplomats. thank you, mr. igor, for your analysis. ihor popov, an expert at the united ukraine think tank, was in direct contact with us, and we talked about the complex diplomacy, yes, the complex process of reaching certain, not so much agreements, but at least agreements about agreements, in order to start this dialogue , this is also not an easy task and... here you have to watch the hands of china and brazil very carefully, how they will try to promote their peace plans and somehow push ukraine under these plans. we are going further, we will have it literally in a few minutes we will talk about the poisoning of the seim and desna rivers by toxic substances of organic origin, which is currently happening in the chernihiv region, in particular we will talk in a few minutes, so
