greetings to all viewers of the espresso tv channel. these are the results of the week and iryna koval works for you in the studio. today in the issue. let's start with the good news. 152 of us at home. what are the long-range prospects of ukraine and whether russia really poisoned ukrainian rivers. about this and much more. further. so, great joy in 152 families. on friday, ukraine returned 49 of our citizens from russian captivity. these are soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine, the national guard and the police, the state border service, as well as civilians. after two years of captivity, it was possible to free 15 defenders and defenders of azovstal. leniye umerova, a girl who was taken hostage by the russians when she came to take care of her, also returned from captivity. about the sick father, currently at home

and the hero of ukraine, military medic viktor ivchuk. and on saturday, it was possible to return another 103 soldiers from russian captivity, among them 82 soldiers and sergeants, 21 officers. defenders of kyiv region, donetsk region, mariupol and azovstal, luhansk region, zaporizhzhia and kharkiv region have been released. in particular, 23 people from azov returned from captivity, as well as two guards of the chernobyl nuclear power plant. warriors on their native land the armed forces of ukraine, the national guard, border guards and policemen. most of those released suffered severe injuries or wounds, have serious illnesses and need immediate medical assistance, the coordination headquarters noted. it is known that the united arab emirates contributed to the organization of another exchange. congratulations to all who returned to their native land. during the week , russian troops. launched large-scale attacks,

trying to dislodge the armed forces of ukraine from positions important to the enemy. president volodymyr zelenskyi said that counteroffensive actions of the russians were predictable for our command. foreign experts conclude that the russian army continued to counterattack on the entire ukrainian front in the kursk region, but achieved only minor successes. the pokrovsk-kurakhov section of the front remains the most difficult. i'll be there. and up to 100 combat clashes per day, but the enemy is not advancing towards pokrovsk. the russians directed their main efforts to the south of selidovoy and around it. in the direction of selidovoy, the front itself remains stable with strengthening of ukrainian units. however, there are risks, including from the north of marynivka. in the horli direction, the enemy captured certain positions, after which our units were transferred there. thanks to the work of the 12th brigade'. in this

area, the enemy was repulsed from several positions. the course of the war can be changed thanks to ukraine's long-range capabilities, president volodymyr zelenskyy emphasized in his speech at the yalta european strategy annual conference. the day before, the sixth spoke about the long-range issue of ukraine ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the usa to ukraine, william taylor. he is convinced that the united states of america. this will give ukraine permission to strike with its weapons deep into russia, and it will happen very soon. according to western analysts, this was discussed during the visit of the us secretary of state antony blinken and the head of the british foreign ministry david lammy to kyiv this week. more about the probability of transition to a qualitatively new stage in the war in the next story. is it really possible to cook a frog on a small fire in the context of russian-ukraine. war, this question acquired

geopolitical dimension. from the first days of the full-scale invasion, the united states chose an escalation management strategy of giving weapons to ukraine with... insufficient delays and numerous prohibitions on their use. the goal is to avoid a direct military conflict with russia and prevent it from using nuclear weapons. over time, they thought in washington, putin would run out of weapons, the russian economy would falter, and the aggressor would be forced to seek peace. but the frog turned out to be surprisingly resilient. russian economy adapted to the war, and... the kremlin found allies iran and the dprk, which, unlike the west, supply the aggressor with weapons without any conditions or restrictions. so putin has no reason to seek real peace. there can no longer be any open question about why

ukraine needs sufficient long-range. and i want to emphasize once again enough, enough not to simply say that there is a solution. the range is enough to change the course of the war and force russia to seek peace. this week brought important decisions. according to the western media the united states finally allowed british and french stormshadou and scalp missiles to be launched against military facilities deep inside russia. they contain american components, so london and paris did not have the right to lift the taboo on their use on their own. in russia. have already reacted. putin stated that without nato specialists, the armed forces of ukraine would not be able to carry out long-range strikes with western weapons, and therefore permission to use them would mean a direct military conflict with nato. in london, he was immediately denied. russia started this conflict,

russia illegally invaded ukraine. russia can immediately end this conflict. ukraine has the right to self-defense, and obviously we fully support ukraine's right to... self-defense, providing opportunities for training, but we do not seek conflict with russia, that is not part of our intentions. keir starmer, prime minister of great britain. the reason for at least a partial increase in the long-range capabilities of the armed forces was probably information about several hundred ballistic missiles that, according to western intelligence, russia had already received from iran is about to start using it. this gave the west an opportunity to save face, saying that it is russia, not it. going to escalate the conflict. we see russia continuing, and even intensifying, its attacks inside ukraine, against civilians, energy infrastructure, and ukrainian military personnel defending their country. and now we see how russia is buying ballistic missiles from iran, which will further increase its

aggression in ukraine. so, if anyone is taking escalating actions, it seems to be putin and russia. and in general, the policy of boiling the frog over low heat does not seem to be changing. us president joe biden, who has four months left in office, never dared to give permission for the full use of atakams missiles, which , unlike british and french missiles, can be launched from the ground, not from the air. in washington, they claim that there are not enough of them in american warehouses, and they, they say, will not be able to turn the tide of the war. 90% of the aircraft that russia uses for long-range guided air bombs and missile...strikes, we calculated it, located outside 300 km from the border with ukraine, deep inside russia, so the statement that they say, we will just give him atacoms and say ok, and they will be able to hit most of the russian aircraft at the air bases from where the strikes on ukraine are launched, is false. according to the american

publication forbes, at the beginning of the summer, the armed forces were able to destroy dozens of russian aircraft at the malshevo air base near voronezh. dozens of wines were located there. su-34 bomber bombers, which are carriers guided air bombs. ukraine asked for permission to strike with atakams missiles, but the us refused. and today, according to the apt comparison of a number of western politicians, ukraine continues to fight with tied hands, bleeding at the same time. her own long-range capabilities are very limited. drones fly far, but are not capable of carrying a large combat unit. and the russians. and still have an absolute advantage in the air, which allows them to advance, albeit not quickly. therefore, the statements of kirby and other officials are only a justification of the political course of the white house on management escalation, and it is unlikely that this course will fundamentally

change before the arrival of a new administration, as the american saying goes, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. rivers in the north of ukraine. protects against pollution. in the middle of august, the residents of sumy oblast noticed that the waters of the sejm turned black and covered with an oily film, smelled like a sewer, and there was a mass plague of fish. over time , the contamination reached the gums. residents of chernihiv region reported about him. residents of kyiv were also worried, because the majority of the capital receives its water from the gums. what is the cause of the poisoning and will kyiv be left without water - natalya stareprava will tell. we are now in the village of boromyky, 25 km from chernihiv, and the desna river flows right here. the villagers say that a few days ago, literally... the whole river was filled with dead fish, now we see that only single dead fish float to

the surface, the villagers just collected these dead fish in bags, took them out with these bags, there is a cemetery nearby mr. volodymyr lives near the dead cattle, where they buried it all river, he says that he sees such a phenomenon for the first time, in a day the community of the village took out 50 bags of dead fish, a lot of livestock was carried away by trucks... in the direction of chernihiv, i have a dog named archy, he can smell it, but the water is not coming, then he is running away bathed and drank water from the river, but he doesn’t go near the water, i don’t let him, but he himself, he feels the smell, he would come with me, the smell was of chemicals, well, the smell is like that from the sewage system, pollution from... this river the locals used to collect water for livestock and watering plants, now this

it is forbidden, he even goes in and washes his hands in the river, so to speak, because because it is scary, it is not incomprehensible to us, what is floating there, on the bank of the river in the village of gorytsia, we met mr. oleksandr, a fisherman, and then he shows from... how the dirty water killed all living things, although now is the fishing season, there is nothing to fish here, it is an ecological disaster, one can say that after how many years it will recover, yes, how many people rested, fished, it is a pity for the river, they spent their childhood here nations, according to the previous version. the cause of pollution is emissions of organic waste from a russian sugar factory in the kursk region. the temporary buildings

of the enterprise located in tyotkino were filled before the incident, and later they were emptied. as a result, mass death of fish due to lack of oxygen in the water. this is a rather heavy liquid that got into the diet, almost did not dissolve and reached the gums. then this heavy liquid, it, this molasses, let's say so, it will, when it gets into the gum, it will not go through the entire water column, it will spread along the bottom, and it will linger in those places where there are large pits , where there are twists, at the beginning of september, the pollution of the gums reached chernihiv, the locals were forbidden to swim and fish, we can see that dead fish have already been thrown onto the shore of the river, now we are in chernihiv, this is a recreation

area where the locals gather to just relax, fish or to bathe at least it was like that before the gum was poisoned. in addition to the fact that this fish was washed ashore, we see that the dead animal is also floating, or rather, it is simply carried by the current, but a special service swims here and collects this dead fish, as of today it is in... already has become much less than it was a week or literally a few days ago, it is collected and disposed of. kyiv residents were also worried, because it is from the gum that 70% of the capital's residents get their water. the ministry of environment warned that polluted water could reach kyiv region on september 14-16. however, experts now note that pollution has slowed down. we can now see that the chemical oxygen consumption is falling, according to this pollution. becomes less, and there are still 3-4 days, and according to the dynamics, until it reaches the kyiv water intake, it

will decrease accordingly, now at all points according to the sejm and in most points of the gums, oxygen is within the norm. experts reassure, even if the pollution reaches kyiv, the capital can switch to alternative sources of water supply. if there are certain threats to reduce the quality of drinking water, we have no right. to supply unpurified water or purified water not up to the quality required by sanitary rules and regulations, therefore we provide for the possibility of compensation for the decrease. supply of water from the desnya station through other sources, that is, from the dnipro station we will raise and supply to network and from artesian springs. because of this pollution, 31 tons of dead fish had to be disposed of. in the chernihiv and kyiv regions, aeration units have been installed that artificially saturate the water with oxygen. nets are also installed, or dead fish are not carried

further by the current. not far from the installed aeration system in the kyiv region. vacationers swim and fish, they assure that the water is clean, so they willingly eat their catch. krasnopor and gustyor, the record is not bad. normal fishing, excellent. we have been resting at the base since sunday, we stopped by on sunday, nothing, everything is fine. well, first of all, you have to look at the fatigue of the fish. if the fish floats on top, it means that there is not enough oxygen. and yes, well, you see, there is a bite, a fish. yes, everything is fine, despite all the measures to slow down the pollution, the ecosystem of the rivers has been significantly damaged, and it will take several years to restore them. natalya stare pravo, oscar jansons, andriy verstyuk, espresso tv channel. as a result of the russian missile attack on lviv, which took place on september 4, 189 buildings in

the frankivskyi and railway districts of the city were damaged. 52 apartments are not... suitable for living. some destroyed buildings cannot be restored, so they will have to be demolished. this was reported in the lviv city administration. my colleagues found out where the residents of the damaged buildings now live. all his life, 57-year-old volodymyr bondaruk lived in the apartment of building number 38 on brativ mikhnovskikh street. however, the morning shelling of lviv on september 4, 2024 before. created a man's house in ruins, well, as you can see, everything, all the plaster flew around, the windows were broken, the doors, you can even see holes such that the wall moved away, because the load-bearing wall, there are cracks, the frames are broken, you can see there, there are no windows on the window, in the middle of

the husband’s bedroom there is an old wardrobe damaged by fragments, it was she who... took upon herself all the consequences of the blast wave and closed it volodymyr from pieces of glass and fittings. the head was here, that’s how it was, i slept here, you see, there is a closet, it partially covered me, then once, and the second time, i, if what, if i were here under that wall, then it would still worse, perhaps, it would have flown at full speed straight into me, and yes, i was a little under the wall and... and everything that fell into the wall just fell on me, i was just lucky that i was in a horizontal position, because i was like walking around the house, as my neighbor would do the same to me. in this building , 12 apartments were left without a roof and with cracks in the load-bearing walls. all of them cannot be repaired. homeowners can only

pick up items that have survived. later, apartments almost in the very center of lviv will be demolished. their residents were promised new ones, a commission arrived, they looked and said that yes, yes , it is true, that it is unrealistic to invest money in those houses, because the damage is very severe, there were meetings in the district administration, and they said that with each apartment, with each owner, issues will be resolved, an apartment will be provided and people will move, now mr. volodymyr lives in a modular town. on polyuya street, it was deconserved immediately after the russian missile attack on the city on september 4. no one lived in it for almost two years, so first the administration checked all communications, started the electricity supply, prepared 20 residential modules and a kitchen. now there are five families living there, whose homes have been destroyed or badly damaged. this is

a model town consisting of two parts and it was opened to accommodate people from the east. victims of the war, and considering that the module is four-bed, that is , the total number of beds is 320, three meals a day from world central kitchen, these are our long-standing partners, they supported all the shelters where the displaced people lived, where the victims of the war lived, from the first days. mr. stanislav denys with his wife maria and pets are among those who have been living in the modular town for more than a week. they don't complain about the conditions in the module, but they dream of returning to their place as soon as possible... there were commissions, well, deeds were recorded, so they said that they would install windows, well, but it will be somewhere, at least in a month and a half. residents who lost their apartments as a result of an enemy attack and decided to rent housing, the city will compensate the cost of the rent.

the executive committee of the lviv city council made the relevant decision on september 5. we are talking about compensations in the amount of 10, 12 and 15 thousand, according to which apartment people had that was destroyed, one-, two- or three-room. by the way, according to the same scheme, the lviv city council still compensates housing rent from the city budget to those who... lost their homes as a result of a rocket hitting a residential building on stryyska street on july 6, 2023. ema stadnyk, nazar melnyk, espresso tv channel. this is how our team saw this week. i, iryna koval, was with you. take care of yourself. september discounts on lyudyaniki bronchialik 20% in plantain bam and oskad pharmacies. the book women at war is a joint project of the

a full-scale invasion of cultural... events, film events take place quite modestly, many organizers generally refuse the red carpet, the black carpet, and just take pictures next to the banner, it is not considered a carpet at all, but the golden dzigs were distributed in as much as three years, during two days they distributed this and that the award, you can see how it happened, it’s just that the moviegoers gathered in the hall, here you see the photos of filip sotnichenko with his little son... leo and his wife valeria sochovyts, they took the most awards with their film la polisiade, but why two days were given out, because they had been giving out awards for three years, because during the full-scale invasion it was not the organizer of such a ceremony, i will say that the year before last , the film stop the earth by kateryna gornostaya took the most statuettes, and now we can watch excerpts of these films, i will tell you about them

i'll tell you... kateryna gordontai made a film about teenagers, we see it at the palisade, well, let's talk about it, it's a film that will compete for an oscar, this year from ukraine, it tells about the 90s and about well, in fact, the last case of capital punishment in ukraine, here is this main character, whom we see, it was he who was executed, his character, he did a rather difficult job, we expected this from him, he is called one of... we can expect really cool films. i think you will recognize these shots, because this is dolbush, who played the role of dovbysh's brother, oleksiy grentkovsky won his award, the film also won, it seems, six awards for

hryvnia, for costumes, for cinematography. serhii mykhalchuk, one of the best, got the job of our cameramen, and he is now a military man, he also shoots various documentary footage during the war, and this we see 20 days in mariupol, this was the most predictable moment of the ceremony, because because the tape won both in the category of the best documentary feature film and the best film, it was clear, our other nominees were also worthy enough, but here it is... we understand that the oscar laureate, how can you compete with him, and yevhen maloletka, one of the authors of this film, now we see stop earth, stop earth received 11 statuettes outside of last year, and only now kateryna hornesta and the whole team have already physically taken away these statuettes, a film about teenagers, we have a lot of such tapes.
