well, you have to look at the fact that the situation will be difficult in winter without any doubt. well, in general, they promised four g as a result, well, here at least one of these will be obtained. thank you, no, well, you can promise anything, so to speak, there we are talking about the fact that it will be possible to import volumes of electricity, but from our european neighbors, but again, these are limited possibilities, since there are no physical possibilities to increase . in addition to everything else, if it will be cold both here and there in the countries of central europe, then in fact they have there may be a shortage of electricity, that is, you won’t be able to import anything there, well, here you can, i say again, you can wish everyone on whom it depends, and generation, and logistics, and all these networks, well, let’s work simple to the energy workers who do it, really, because the winter will be very, very hard. mykhailo gonchar.

the president of the strategy 21 global studies center was with us, thank you very much, the only question here is whether it was really worth it, well, only time will tell, on the eve of such a difficult winter , to fire a person who was trusted, who is actually in this worked and was and gave results, again , well, but this is a topic that we will continue, because here talking, as they say, is not renegotiating. vitaly portnikov, khrystyna yatskiv, andriy smoliy and invited experts based on facts give their assessment and forecast of the development of events. if you want to understand how our today will affect our tomorrow, watch the saturday politics club, every saturday on espresso. greetings, this is svoboda live on radio svoboda. we have already approached the snake itself in the following frames. can shock news from

locations of events live kamikaze drone attacks political analytics objectively and meaningfully there is no political season exclusive interviews, reports from the hottest points of the front. svobodalai is frank and impartial. you draw your own conclusions. good evening, we are from ukraine. we have already talked about the kherson region. but let me go into detail, as they say: five people were injured in the kherson region as a result of russian attacks due to the dropping of explosives from enemy drones, the residents of the villages of sadove, velotenske, antonivka and kinda girl also , a bus carrying passengers was hit after hit, fortunately no one from... was injured, besides,

during the day in kherson itself, russian invaders attacked a high-rise building, shells damaged the facade of the building and the balconies without any victims, more information now so far that we don't have, i heard two, two, one strong here and then yes, and then later the second one you were too, he is the eighth, this is what 1 2 3 4 the fifth one is too. ukraine returned another 49 of our citizens from russian captivity, which is actually very good news for all of ukraine and, most importantly , for the families of these soldiers. the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, announced this good news. we are talking about the soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine, the national guard and the police, as well as the state border service and civilians who have returned from captivity. after two years of captivity, he was released. 15

defenders of azovstal also returned from captivity linie umerova, a girl who was taken hostage by the russians when she came to take care of her sick father at home, currently her hero of ukraine, a military doctor viktor rivchuk. we congratulate our defenders on their return and wish them a speedy recovery and recovery. mom, i'm already in ukraine, that's all! in fact, it is clear that we are going home some hours ago, because we were staged, we did not even know where we were going, all the time the conductors kept telling us that you are just being staged, and we asked for an exchange or not, but we did not know where, and one and a half, no, somewhere, about three hours ago we get on the buses, we already understand that we are going home to our land, in letters i wrote to my mother, pray... mom, i, i'll be home, i'll be, i

felt it, 3,569 ukrainians have already been returned free from russian captivity during the period of the full-scale invasion. and of course, this is not the end, the work continues, the fight for everyone continues, every ukrainian who was in russian captivity should be at home. well, we believe that the words of andriy yusov, the spokesman of the main intelligence directorate of the ministry of defense of ukraine, will come true, but the work continues, 3,569 ukrainians, both military and civilians, have been returned. from russian captivity, and this is actually a lot good. a ukrainian construction company is building a factory to repair russian warships, it turns out. officials of this company were kidnapped by the security service of ukraine in kyiv. according to the investigation, since the beginning of the full-scale war, the so-called businessmen signed contracts with the russians for 100

billion rubles for the construction of a plant to service the ships of the russian naval base in novorossiysk and the border management. sat. they also completed several projects for the moscow metro. to hide activities, businessmen created an offshore company and paid billions of rubles to the budget of russia, they face up to 12 years in prison. although, again , the question here is that such actions should probably be given the highest degree of punishment, which in ukraine is life imprisonment and confiscation of all property. well, to be honest, this is too much. kyiv's allies together... shoot down missiles and drones in the skies of the middle east, but there is still no similar solution for ukraine, a country in the center of europe that is waging the largest war since world war ii, even if the enemy targets violate the airspace of the member countries of the north atlantic alliance. president of ukraine volodymyr

zelenskyy emphasized this during his speech at the annual yalta european strategy meeting. let's listen. moreover, this is not done even when... missiles and drones are heading literally to the territory of our neighbors, and when we raise this issue with our partners, all the time, by the way, everyone tries to simply, to be honest, talk about it, and are afraid to even say it , we are working on it, even these words are afraid, and it is true. and so far, only belarus has been distinguished by the defeat of russian martyrs, well , these words of the president caused a light laugh in the hall, but it is true, you know, it is not necessary, well , it is clear that lukashenko is a dictator, a self-proclaimed president, but you should not

think that the russian military does not understand, what they are shooting down, you can tell as much as you want about ukrainian drones, it is for, as they say, messages to russia for what, but the belarusian air defense clearly knows and the pilots. who fly out to meet the drones, the shaheds, know that they are shooting down the shaheds, but for some reason they knock down well, we hope that our partners will do the same, as shown even by the belarusians, who have no experience of a great war, which turns out to be possible to knock down mines, for this you do not need any weather conditions that hindered the poles, or any other atmospheric phenomena such as who would encourage this, no, it is possible to knock down a cargo, and it's nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about... three pali people who destroyed military vehicles were detained in odesa, among them three minors. everyone was looking for easy money, again from these unfortunates telegram-channels, which cannot be brought to light and understand what it is there , they are sitting behind those telegram-channels. the intruders were to be captured on video and sent to the curators

from russia, of course, from where else. in general, the palia were destroyed. unfortunately, six military vehicles were destroyed in tvzob, which were collecting money, which were working, which were needed for the military, for the front, for there. other needs, but the promised money, of course, these pallia did not arrive from the occupiers, they are all in custody, they are now in danger up to 10 years in prison. the fire at an industrial enterprise, which arose as a result of an enemy attack in ivano-frankivsk region, has already been extinguished, the state emergency service reported, several hundred rescuers and dozens of special vehicles were involved in extinguishing the fire. three fire trains and a mobile control point at the facility were targeted by the russians with drones at night during the attack, in order to overcome the consequences , the electricity was turned off to consumers in the region, it has now been restored, fortunately there were no casualties. well, that's all the news i managed

to tell you, literally in a moment we will return to the conversation, be with the big ether.

good evening, we are from ukraine, thank you for waiting, there is a big ether on espress tv channel and now it's time to talk about events outside ukraine. yuriy fizer has prepared the most important thing, yuriy, please give me the floor. good evening to you vasyl, good evening to everyone who joined us on this. and today about this, putin always threatens when he wants it, says the german defense minister, the prime minister of great britain came to see joe biden, what will be said, and trump's plan for ukraine, finally, at least we know something, about this and the other in a moment. i'll start with this: we have no intention of entering into a conflict with russia, but it was moscow that started it. war in ukraine, british prime minister keir

starmer said about it on board the plane on the way to washington, according to him, according to the head of the british government, ukraine has the right to self-defense, and the british authorities will obviously fully support it. according to kir starr starmer, russia itself can immediately end the war, and london, he says, can does not in any way try to enter into a war with moscow, but only helps ukraine to fight this war as soon as possible. complete, helps and will continue to help. but only keir starmer on board this plane did not confirm the information that was also heard the day before in several western news agencies, in particular in the tymes publication that during the meeting with joe biden they will discuss permission to use british long-range storm shadow missiles for strikes for targets on the territory of russia. he no... he confirmed, he said this, he said that it will not be discussed at all, and therefore

there should be no permission as such, but we will wait, we should wait for the meeting, and it will take place at 16:30 washington time in ukraine , it will be 11:30 p.m., so the results of this meeting will be broadcast tomorrow morning on espresso, and throughout the day, i really hope that they will still talk about long-range missiles and there will be permission. according to international law. the member states of the european union themselves decide on a bilateral basis whether to allow long-range weapons were transferred to ukraine for striking targets on the territory of russia. german defense minister boris pistorius said this during a press conference with his lithuanian counterpart. this is how he commented on yesterday's information that during his visit to washington, keir starmer will talk with joe biden, in particular, about the fact that he is ready to allow the armed forces of ukraine to hit targets in... in russia with storm shadow missiles, and here is putin's reaction to this message, the head of the german ministry of defense commented as follows: putin's threats -

it's putin's threats, that's all you need to say, he always threatens when he wants to. well, it is worth saying two words about this threat, after all. quote: permitting the use of such a long-range weapon would mean that the us, nato and european countries are at war with russia. that's right, the day before the leader. terrorist countries, putin commented on the information about the prospects for the ukrainian army to use western weapons with a long range for strikes against russia. according to him, the direct participation of these countries in the war, although he called it a conflict, significantly changes its essence and nature. well, this would mean, according to the main criminal of the world, that the countries of nato, the usa and europe are at war with russia. and if this is so, says putin, then russia will be forced to react accordingly. based on the threats that will be posed to her. in a word, he didn't

say anything new, but these red lines, these reactions, we have already heard about them many, many times. but the prime minister of poland, donald tusk, is not worried about the recent, that is, yesterday's threats of vladimir putin regarding the possible use of western weapons against a whole of russia the head of the government of the commonwealth of independent states believes that the events in ukraine and in general on the ukrainian-russian front are necessary. to be taken very seriously, but at the same time prime minister tusk added that he would not attach excessive importance to putin's latest statements. in his opinion, such words rather show a difficult situation. in which the russian military found themselves at the front. and it will be even more difficult if we receive such permission and we will hit with these missiles and not only with these, i mean not only stormsheds, but also scalps, atapaks on targets in the territory, deep in the the territory of russia, there up to 300 km. the us authorities believe that ukraine should use

american weapons in such a way as to secure the most advantageous position in... possible peace negotiations, pentagon spokesman patrick ryder said during the briefing. at the same time, he added that no specific type of weapons, including long-range missiles, will become a panacea for kyiv. and then a short quote from mr. general. i would like to draw attention to the words of us defense secretary austin at us air force base ramstein last week, when he emphasized that there is no single type of weapon, no panacea that will enable ukraine to achieve success, well, if there is nothing more, of course, you can give us spears, and we will stab the russians with spears, but still, long-range weapons, rockets, well, this is a panacea, no matter what you say. the authorities of the people's republic of china will continue to contribute to the settlement, and here again the word of the ukrainian crisis based on the sino-brazilian peace initiative,

about which the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi recently expressed dissatisfaction. about she said. on the representative of the chinese foreign ministry mao ning. her quote follows. we will continue to promote peaceful dialogue and the negotiation process, and we will play a constructive role in the political settlement of the ukrainian crisis. according to her, beijing maintains contacts with kyiv on relevant issues, in particular, regarding the six- point consensus of the people's republic of china and brazil, which is already supported by more than 110 countries of the world. well, i will remind you that earlier volodymyr. in an interview with the brazilian internet portal metropolis, zelensky sharply criticized and even called destructive is this plan of brazil and china regarding a possible peaceful end to the russian war in ukraine, and he is convinced, i.e. zelensky, that this peace initiative was allegedly pre-agreed and discussed in the still russian and still still federation, and

there is no point in trusting that. but the minister of defense of china once again called... volodymyr zelenskyi and putin to sit down at the negotiating table, because in dongjun's opinion, this is the only way to end the russian war in ukraine. you can probably guess that he has already fought the war usually for chinese high-ranking officials called it a conflict. during a speech at the opening of the 11th xiangshan security forum in beijing, the head of the defense department of the celestial empire emphasized that the only real way out of the current situation, the fundamental way out, is the promotion of a comprehensive political settlement. discussion, and here's what's interesting, he said one more phrase: all countries have their legitimate sovereignty and security interests, so you can't interfere in the internal politics of other countries, limit the interests of other countries, on the contrary, to establish criteria and prerequisites for friendly relations between countries, why

didn't he address this phrase to russia and say: what the hell have you violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine, withdraw all your troops. from ukraine and that's how the war will end, no, he didn't say that, although he once again said that there are no winners in the war, well, it's good that our partners say that they will be with us until we win , and if there is a winner , ukraine, and they will help us do it, so there is also a loser, russia. the plan of the us presidential candidate from the republican party donald trump for a peaceful end to the russian war in ukraine provides. the creation of a demilitarized zone and along the current demarcation line between russia and ukraine, as well as providing refia with guarantees of ukraine's neutral status. trump's campaign partner , vice-presidential candidate james d. vance, said this in an interview on the youtube channel sean ryan shaw. according to him, according to such a plan, ukraine retains its independence and

sovereignty, russia receives from ukraine guarantees of neutrality, non-adherence to nato and other similar allied institutions. and at the same time, the us vice presidential candidate added that germany and other countries will have to partially finance the restoration of ukraine. that is, ukraine folds its arms and says: i lost, putin won, and that's it, and that 's the end of it. that's trump's plan. and by the way, two more words about trump. he announced the day before that he was not going to participate in a second debate with kamela garis. at the same time, he called these debates, which from... the street are very good, he won them, and he does not want to participate in the next ones, because kamela harris will try to use them to collect some bonuses for herself, well... trump there is trump. recently, the nuclear threats from the us imperialists and their satellites are becoming more overt and go beyond the red line, so it is necessary

to address the issue of security in order to be able to respond to the united states of america. he made such a statement in his own style the leader of north korea, kim jong-un, during a visit to the institute of nuclear weapons and the base for the production of nuclear materials for atomic weapons. at the same time, the leader of the most closed country in the world instructed. to increase the production of these materials, and besides, kimchinin ordered to increase the number of centrifuges for uranium enrichment, according to the sunny marshal, well , of course, in quotes, to build up the arsenal in geometric progression, you need not to stop at achievements. i have a suspicion that putin not only promised, but also gave him the technology, because he actively started not only to talk about it, but also to develop it, and this is... a bad sign, maybe they are working on nuclear weapons and may soon get them. and finally, about jens stoltenberg, who is still the secretary general of nato, well, still 17 more

days. so, jens stoltenberg's biggest disappointment is the russian war in ukraine and the withdrawal of american troops from afghanistan. about this 17 days before he will resign from the post of secretary general of nato, mr. stoltenberg told... the american tv channel cnn, at the same time he called the strengthening of the bloc his and the entire north atlantic alliance's greatest achievement. and while the secretary general said, in particular, a quote: we were able to strengthen nato's collective defense, make nato stronger, the world has become much more dangerous in 10 years, but nato has become much stronger. well, of course, we all thank jens stoltenburg for his work as the secretary general of nato... for the support we received from nato, of course, we would like more, but we thank you for the one that was there while he was there. well, i will remind you that 1 in october, he officially leaves this position,

and the former prime minister of the netherlands, mark rueten, will take his seat. well, jen stoltenberg himself is still wondering what he will do, and yesterday there was information that he could become the new head of the munich security conference. well , according to the publication poliiko, he can take this position in february 2025, until now this head was christoph heusgen. well, if so, then we wish jens stoltenberg luck in his new job, if it is his new job. well , i have everything for today this week, i will meet with you next week, don't switch, because there will be a lot of interesting things on espresso. this is a column

about money during the war, i'm oleksandr morchivka with the most important news from the world of money, listen in the next few minutes. international reserves increased by almost 14% in august. currently, they amounted to 42 billion 300 million dollars, they reported to the national bank. they say growth from was due to significant amounts of income from international partners, in particular, this is money from the eu within the framework of the ukraine facility program and funds from the world the bank in fact, this week we see the reaction of the financial market to the state of gold and foreign reserves, the hryvnia began to strengthen. the national bank significantly covered the currency deficit on the interbank market due to the fact that it has a high rate of international reserves. as of now, we will also have another tranche. ukraine and the international monetary fund have agreed on additional money under the current cooperation program. let me remind you that

the mission of the foundation worked in the capital and not online, as it was before, but specifically visited kyiv. the head of the government, denys shmigal, announced that the budget will receive more than one billion dollars and the money will be directed specifically to the development of economies. let me remind you that the current program, the credit program of cooperation with the fund , totals 15.5 billion dollars. in august, consumer inflation accelerated by almost 2%. it amounted to 7.5% in annual terms. the national bank noted that this happened due to poor harvests, as well as under the influence of higher business costs. it is clear that entrepreneurs now spend more on raw materials and electricity. and forced to raise the wages of employees. these factors will affect the price of goods and services will rise in the future - analysts say. however, there is also a positive:

at the end of the summer, fuel prices slowed down... the nbu says that gas stations had sufficient stocks of various gasolines, and a significant drop in oil prices was also observed. oleksiy brecht became the acting chairman of ukrenergo, he was officially appointed by the supervisory board, the company reported. he has been working at ukrenergo for 23 years, recently he was a member of the board, responsible for operation, restoration, etc. transmission system network bit in a new position he will replace volodymyr kudrytskyi, who was fired at the beginning of september, well, we wish mr. oleksiy victories, i think that we, ordinary consumers, will feel it ourselves, we will see how efficient the ukrenergo company will be, there will be light in our homes, and eventually heat during difficult autumn-winter period, it will really be difficult, and indeed this winter

i... ukraine plans to pass the past with gas from its own production without attracting help from partners, said the head of the government denys shmyhal, according to him, in 7 months in the current year, naftogaz produced almost 9 billion cubic meters of fuel, which is more than 7% more than last year. at the same time, according to the prime minister, this winter may turn out to be even more difficult than previous winters. we continue to talk about energy, russian oil, etc. through ukraine, it will now be delivered not by lukoil, the russian, but by the hungarian energy company mol. ukraine will not be able to influence the supply of these barrels, because the company is from the eu, and impose sanctions on it, as it is impossible to impose sanctions on russian producers. according to serhiy kuyun, director of the a95 consulting company, muscovy is like that will bypass economic restrictions and sponsor the government of hungarian leader orban. let's listen to the direct speech. and accordingly

, we all understand that the russians are making money from this, the hungarians will also make money from this, since it is already obvious to everyone that there is a very large dependence there, and the dependence is rather economic, not economic, but even political, since there is every reason to believe that that russia gives huge discounts on this oil, and by earning money on this cheap oil, orban can finance his regime. and here as long as there is a threat to the safety of the temporarily occupied zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, its reactors should remain in a state of cold shutdown, magat ceo rafael grossi said. he emphasized that the situation at zas is currently unstable, regular explosions, drone attacks, shelling, repeated outages with external power supply, all this increases the risk of a nuclear accident, well, the situation is really complicated.

espresso spoke with the independent expert on nuclear safety olga kosharna on the air, she essentially assessed the work of the magate mission and the head agency of raphael grossi, says that, in fact, without the activities of this international organization, ukraine could be in a difficult situation in general, and in fact, the activities should not be criticized. that is to say, no specific decisions, specific actions, in fact, the mandate of the magathe does not include giving any advice to the aggressor country, but to monitor security, monitor the situation, draw up protocols, reports, and these reports also help the ukrainian side, in particular form and generate energy. moving on, the war is depleting the labor force in ukraine,

businesses are trying to cover. lack of personnel, hire more women for traditionally male positions, also attract teenagers, students and people of retirement age. analysts of the reuters agency write about this, saying that the labor market crisis can endanger economic growth and the country's post-war recovery in general. and according to the survey of the ministry of economy, almost 60% of enterprises said that the main problem for them now is the search for qualia. there is a shortage of fixed workers, people, and professionals. and the consortium of investors is headed by the company of the french billionaire xaville, closed this week the agreement on the purchase and merger of the ukrainian mobile operator lifecell with the service provider data group volya. this was reported by the horizon capital invest company, which participated in this deal. so what does this mean?
