For the past two months, they have had very little activity in terms of equipment, they are even afraid to drive up, well, if you were to go to a frontline village there, and it is from zero, well , there, somewhere two kilometers, one and a half or two, a unit of aerial reconnaissance is on duty at the positions of the brigade in donetsk, Drone Operators, at the same time eyes and strength that destroy the occupiers, it turns out a very strong stake, which we hit often , guys come with whom we have already crossed paths many times and well, literally, this is the first meeting and we already know that everything will be fine, and reconciliation takes place there two or three weeks and we are already, we are already working, volunteer pavlo tsapyuk takes kamikaze drones to the frontline every time, he has already delivered zo30ka and announced a collection for 100 fpv drones for the hundredth brigade. We found a supplier who can give them at a very bonus price of uah 10,000, this is already with an assembly with full combat equipment, well only without ammunition, here is our goal of 100 drones for the hundredth brigade, their approximate cost will be a million. During the spirit of the indomitable festival, which took place near lutsk, a quarter of a million hryvnias were collected, and this is two dozen quadcopters, in addition to the devices, people are needed to operate them. There will be more drones, more pilots are needed, yes, there will be more pilots, we will buy more drones, that is, it is a constant dynamic line. Now we need pilots and drones, when all is enough, when that is all, we break through and go forward at the front. It is not in all directions yet can be seen, that is why pavlo will soon open a school of Drone Operators in lutsk, boys and girls who will learn to control drones , will be able to use their knowledge in real combat conditions, will be tested for this element of fear, how they act constructively in war conditions, and then they can accept the decision that the completion of the training, medicine, training for work in the brigade as a soldier, the time and place of the course will be kept secret by the volunteers, as well as the number of people they plan to train. Roman kovalchuk, details tv channel intermarathon. The only news. Russias fullscale invasion of ukraine demonstrated to the world that drones should not be underestimated. Nato is looking for new methods of combating uavs. Our International Columnist svitlana chernetska will tell what lessons the military Atlantic Alliance has learned from the ukrainian experience. In the air is a small drone that you can easily buy in a store, but it has been improved a little, here it drops an ammunition, then another one, until here it is overtaken by a larger drone, with a precise movement it throws a net at it and lands, new ways of combating cheap drones are now being sought in the north atlantic military alliance, because the war in ukraine has shown that this is a threat that should not be underestimated. We are trying to understand how to apply such important knowledge and experience from operations in ukraine. In potential scenarios that nato may face in the future. There is an understanding that drones are a real threat on a scale we have never seen before, an understanding of how to counter this threat and how we vulnerable to it is really key. And although drones appeared even before the second world war, they were much larger and were not used so massively. Now that drones are widely available, they are quite easy to convert, add sensors, or even fill with explosives, since they are small and made of light materials, they are very difficult to detect, especially in builtup areas, and therefore difficult to destroy in time, and although existing antiaircraft systems defenses are quite effective and often too expensive, the experience of ukraine has shown that you need to immediately look for cheap means. In fact, now missiles that cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars are used to shoot down a drone costing 20,000, so the main question for ukraine and for the rest of the world is to look at our air Defense Systems in a new way to find ways to catch up with this cheap technology. Because drones are a threat not only in wartime, but also in peacetime, nato says. In particular, Critical Infrastructure objects remain particularly vulnerable. Just one small drone can not only become a reconnaissance tool, but also lead out of system, Sewage Treatment plants or a power plant, and this is already a threat to the population. So the alliance is looking for the best technologies to strengthen air defense. Now there are many opportunities to look at the sky. In particular, radars and thermal imagers, and add to this Artificial Intelligence to track and identify targets, and thanks to this, you can choose the most effective response, and among the responses, for example, not to use a missile to kill a drone, but to use a bullet. You can build a rifle range and shoot bullets that cost one pound each thing, is it possible to shoot down a drone with another drone, thanks to Artificial Intelligence. On the field of this nato military base, they will work out various. Scenarios of neutralizing enemy drones, as well as demonstrate nato capabilities in terms of their tracking and identification, but the work that takes place behind the scenes here has gathered not only military experts, but also scientists and developers, they analyze and testing new operating systems and technologies that can be used to combat drones. In addition, it is important to create a common base so that all countries, members of the alliance can work harmoniously. This year, we have expanded the scope of interoperability. Nato looks at interoperability in two main areas, there is technical interoperability where we have standards and architecture to communicate messages in the system and there is operational interoperability where we define tactics, methods and procedures so that militaries from Different Countries speak the same language and can communicate among ourselves. The threat of using drones now is not only from other countries, they say in nato, but also from terrorists alone. Because nowadays, if desired, anyone can build a drone, and engines and software are freely sold on the internet.

Export of ukrainian grain to world markets, assistance in the fight against corruption, assistance in documenting war crimes. Our special correspondent, dmytro anopchenko, found out the details about these. Three priority houses in helping ukraine. So, Like Washington is going to save the grain corridor, where did the stereotypes about the corrupt state come from, and how to counter them . Further. To help ukraine preserve grain exports, one of the key areas of support that the American Administration has chosen for itself, and the number one priority is to try to return the istanbul agreement, although. This, as the president ial adviser on National SecurityJake Sullivan admits, is not a matter of the near future, because russia deliberately slows down the process and puts forward new and new demands, which is why another direction has appeared, to prevent moscow from replacing ukrainian grain on world markets, such attempts are constantly recorded, and the way to do this is to help kyiv establish alternative routes. It is about helping ukraine to establish. Exports, and the more ukraine can export, the more market share it will be able to keep. You know, we have watched ukraine lose markets over the last year, precisely because it could not plant as much wheat as it should. Large areas in the east were very important agricultural areas, but now they have become a war zone. And now you cant grow anything there, so the production has decreased, this is one element, and the second, where the crop is still grown, is the russians. Allows to go outside the country, and since ukraine exports less, who steals this market share, russia. You know, its a huge lie that russia supposedly has problems exporting its food, its a lie i hear over and over again. Last year, russia had a record export of agricultural products, a record agricultural export this year, and is stealing this market share from ukraine. Thats why we we are doing Everything Possible to help ukraine transport it. And now that the black sea is largely blocked, we are focusing on alternative routes, through poland, to the north sea ports, and of course along the danube and into the black sea along that route, and these are routes that were not previously major export routes for rural economy, in general , 97 of ukrainian grain and food exports were transported through the black sea, so we are doing Everything Possible to increase the possibility of going to the danube by barges, trains and trucks, to transport through poland, to use other routes, it is difficult and requires investments, which we are making, and we have achieved significant success. The indicator that ambassador Samantha Power made public the other day surprised many. The states managed to increase the export of ukrainian food by alternative routes by 800 without much publicity. Thats right, its not a mistake, not eight, not 80, but 800. Moscow understands this trend and how it threatens its interests, thats why the strikes on the grain infrastructure, in particular in odesa, in the danube region, but even in spite of this manages to save good pace and good volumes. In the beginning , only a small amount of food went through these routes, but now we are increasing the volume tremendously. Yes, 800 growth and counting. In the prewar period, it was only tens of thousands of tons that were exported through the danube, but in may alone, it is already more than a million tons, so this is a huge increase. We have already done a lot and continue to work and make investments on both sides of the border, american aid from the ukrainian side, our European Partners work on the european side, on the border with romania , bulgaria and other countries, put in more efficient means of loading, barges and shipping lanes have to work 24 7 to give a chance to export more and more grain, and we hope that during the next year we will be able to increase the volume of exports even up to the four United States, and europeans and ukrainians are making every effort for this. The second direction of aid, which the Biden Administration now considers a priority, is to support ukraine in the fight against corruption. States, and me heard this from representatives of the state department, they welcome the efforts that kyiv has been making lately and are ready to support them, because in order to receive western aid in wartime, and in the future it will increase over time. Its for the postwar reconstruction of the country, it is necessary to show that the stereotypes about a corrupt government or a corrupt country, which are still broadcast from time to time by the western press, are actually a thing of the past. Its no secret that many people look at ukraine and think of it as a corrupt country, and thats all because it has a long history of corruption instilled by russia , it has manipulated it for. Many decades to weaken both neighboring moldova and ukraine and prevent them from drifting westward, preventing them from truly becoming part of europe, but you know, this is exactly what ukrainians are fighting for today, they are fighting for their independence and for the opportunity to choose their future, and as president zelenskyi has repeated many times, ukraine is not going to return to the old way, the investments that the european union, as well as the United States and other partners, canada and others, have done to really strengthen anticorruption institutions, the same specialized anticorruption prosecutors office, should give ukraine the opportunity to counter corruption when such cases appear. The same thing happens in all countries, it is not something unique, the difference is what you do when it happens, and for this you need to strengthen ukraines ability to prosecute corruption crimes, to have really powerful anticorruption structures, to fight corruption, deep potential at all levels of government to have the ability to effectively combat corruption, and the investments and aid of the United States affected both these institutions and civil society. It is the best controller in the fight against corruption. Therefore, i believe that in the midst of the war, ukraine is taking huge steps forward in its anticorruption program. And among the aid priorities chosen in washington, helping to fix russian war crimes, one way or another, over time all the evidence collected will become the materials of a highprofile criminal trial, and it is important for america to give ukraine the opportunity to record everything without exception, and also to collect evidence in such a way that it could be accepted by an international tribunal, and for this the Biden Administration also allocates assistance through the agency for international development, i am asking my interlocutor about the details. Dmitry, this is such an important topic, thank you for asking, documenting war crimes is of course a huge challenge in the midst of war and we do everything we can to help those brave people on the ground who do this work, and often are exposed to personal risk because they have to collect evidence of war crimes and document the facts of the brutality that happened, so we helped ukraine get 12 drones from a private company. And it allows evidencegathering professionals to use stateoftheart techniques and document whats happening at the scene, whether its a onesizefitsall tool or not. But all the evidence that can be gathered and preserved in this way will help in the event that such a trial takes place in the future. From the United States, dmytro anopchenko, serhii koval, the American Bureau of the inter tv channel, the united news marathon. Vegetables are being harvested in ukrainian fields. In cherkasy region, this year farmers even increased the number of crops under the socalled borscht set to compensate for the lack of vegetables from the south. The collection is in full swing now. Iryna vasyura will tell you about the potatoes, whether they gave birth well, what prices to expect for them. A smart harvester selects medium and large potatoes from the ground. This is the most popular among buyers, Machine OperatorVolodymyr Rudenko manages the equipment, says that under potatoes there are almost 200 hectares. There are knives, this one is being undermined, potatoes go up on the conveyor, there are such ones at the top. The second conveyors on the conveyors, uh , there are such petals, they take away all the humus, the lump is thrown away, well, he does, well, he digs out the potatoes cleanly. The equipment can also be adjusted for harvesting beets or onions. In total, only this enterprise has almost 300 hectares of land under vegetables. Areas have been increased to compensate for the lack of crops from the south, tested varieties are used and cared for in such a way as to depend as little as possible on weather conditions, it cannot be she, first of all, we have irrigation, first of all, the varieties have all been selected a long time ago, and the yield is from 40 to 70 tons, it all depends on the variety of cars, there is no rain, here we have an irrigation machine, we turned on the rain, well, there are no problems with that, tomatoes and cucumbers have already been collected in the ground , carrots and beets are left for a few more weeks, they were sown on 40 hectares, but the potatoes are already being transported for sorting. This season they plan to collect 12 tons of variety potatoes, few small ones, many large good potatoes, the harvest this year is good, maintain the market price for highquality vegetables can be grown with the help of modern vegetable storages, here the temperature regime is monitored by such storage of crops. And the quality of storage in modern vegetable warehouses is much different. In general, cherkasy region is considered a promising region for vegetable growing. After the fullscale invasion, there were more fields for these crops in the region. The vegetable set, we call it the borscht set, has increased in the frequency of vegetable crops from 10 to 15 . And the trend is that we can produce up to 350380 thousand tons of this set in cherkasy region. And a good one the harvest gives hope for acceptable prices for the consumer. Today, compared to last year, the price of some vegetables is even lower say entrepreneurs. Iryna vasyura, denys kononenko, details of inter tv channel, single news marathon. And buckwheat is harvested on the beech trees. If last year the local agrarians did not want to sow it, now they have broken the record, they have already threshed more than 700 tons, what is the yield of buckwheat in general and why it has become popular, olga luchyk found out, it is already so full, yes, in fact, it is already almost that. This buckwheat was planted in may, and now farmers are checking it for ripening, when the buckwheat is almost dry, harvesters are safe. They go to the field to thresh it, if something is not to their liking according to our criteria, we adjust the harvester, they collected the antaria variety, it is honeybearing, the farmers are generally satisfied, it is such an undemanding crop for the soil, easy to grow, and now the harvesters line up one after another in the field, start the engines and go to work. Volodymyr is responsible for harvesting, he checks whether there are no losses on the combine harvesters, the weather was good for buckwheat more or less favorable, there were precipitations that buckwheat, in principle, the conditions were quite good for buckwheat, this valuable cereal crop is a good honey bearer, farmers say, besides , it does not need protection, and therefore does not drip, it is ecologically clean, for favorable conditions, on such areas you can. Get a fairly high yield, this year 3,300 hectares of buckwheat were sown in bukovina, this is much more than in previous years, in previous years, buckwheat was planted somewhere. Up to 300 g, this is mainly for population, for their own needs and for jewelers, er, this year, we are happy area, eh, the average yield to date in the region by collection reaches within 20 centners per hectare, we expect gross collection within 700 tons, buckwheat is a good precursor for many agricultural crops, improved crop rotation, with the beginning of a fullscale war, many farmers for were thinking about future crops , Many Enterprises in our country today have actually switched to sowing buckwheat in connection with the martial law and in order to actually improve food security, replaced the sowing of cereals, and combine harvesters are already mowing the field, after harvesting, buckwheat is transported to elevators, there it is cleaned, dried if necessary, and only after that the grain is grazed and sent to the food market to the consumer. The current buckwheat harvest in bukovynia is pleasing farmers for the first time in recent years, so they are convinced that buckwheat will be on the table of every ukrainian. From bukovina olga luchyk, ihor riga, podrobitsy, tv channel inter, marathon one news. Thousands of hectares of Ukrainian Land did not produce a harvest this year, because they are all strewn with mines, shells and remnants of russian missiles. The demining of these territories, according to preliminary forecasts, will last tens of years, some of them need to be cleared already , first of all, these are settlements, roads and agricultural lands, how ukrainian sappers are demining the kherson region using the bozena 5 system, see the story of my colleagues from the ministry of defense tv studio. Now, unfortunately, a different crop is being harvested in these fields. Tukh 25, 30k, a light, and a piece of 120th. The commander of the demining group. Dmytro demonstrates the dangerous harvest of the area, which is demined just completed it was a contact line, there were constant battles and now there are a lot of different submunitions left here. When the russians fled from here, they left quite a lot of their own dirt, various engineering ammunition, artillery ammunition, and all this must be destroyed now, found, because we cannot leave this territory unmined, because there is quite such a powerful. Agricultural complex in this area , there are civilians here, there are children here who can find all this and they dont know how to use it, and it brings them danger dmytro has been in the armed forces since 2017, used to save our infantry with the help of engineering barriers and helped the advance of ukrainian troops in the donetsk direction, and now organizes the demining process using the approved protocol. People should feel a certain security in. Traffic safety, first of all, it is the roads, then there are the fields, lastly, there are the landings, the landings take the most time, because the most explosive objects are usually located in the landings, the Group Commander finds out what category the ammunition belongs to, and further, further, further, it independently decides how to destroy it on the spot, whether it can be transferred there, for example, to the destruction zone. Clearing the territory of explosive objects takes place in a combined way the bozhen remotecontrolled demining machine carries out mechanized demining. And then there are sappers who collect the remains and re examine the territory. Ivan is a demining Machine Operator, trained abroad, rids the south of explosives subjects in the third month. The serviceman is satisfied with the desired. This is a colossal help to ours. A sapper of more antipersonnel mines, stretchers, it works up to 15 cm, the working body is deepened, but there is also a drawback, the climate is not suitable here , well, there is a lot of dust, and for this a lot of work is added, that is, you can work on it in three hours a day, and you will have to service it for two or three, although the car is reliable, it cannot completely replace a person, it is often a touchstone. Metallotacter is more accurate and knowledge, we pass more qualitatively for this, no more, no more, the robot will kill everything, maybe something will detonate, maybe something wont, maybe something will break, but well pick it up. In humanitarian demining, in addition to the military and representatives of the state emergency service, groups of several organizations, including nongovernmental ones, are involved. Of course, the military has the most experience, which they share with new members of their team. Here we not only clear mines, we also have a passage here. Combat training we are adjusting here, precisely on this territory, because sometimes new newcomers are added to the group there, yes, who are not there yet, do not have such, er, survey. Like us, for example, yes, they learn from us, their profession is dangerous, but they would never change it for another. I really like working here, our team is very friendly, and we do a good deed , every mine removed is a human life saved, every mine installed is an occupier destroyed, thats why this job is a dream. Not a single house survived, a hospital and a Cultural Center were destroyed, and despite the proximity of the border with russia, shelling and destruction, people do not leave their homes in kharkiv oblast, instead they try svitlana shakkera saw how it happens to rebuild her mutilated environment. In february 2022, the enemy was advancing on the dergachy district of kharkiv region, a community on the samisin border, so the russians advanced quickly, part of the border villages of the community were immediately occupied, but the enemy was never able to enter the dergachi, the military was powerfully assisted by local partisans who created a Movement Resistance most of them were hunters who knew the roads, trails, wastes, local, well, terrain, they told the military what to do ambushes on the russians, where to retreat, where to make an impression, they calculated where the enemy could go, what roads he could take in the event of a column moving and if our mouth begins to destroy it, where the enemy could go, ambushes were created and where the russians did not climb, in their our armed forces were already waiting everywhere, the tugs became a shield that covered kharkiv, and for the fact that they could not overcome them, the occupiers took cruel revenge, after daily shelling from artillery and mortars, there were practically no whole houses left in the city. In april 2022 the russians destroyed the center of medical and sanitary assistance. On the night of april 8, somewhere at 0 30, three bombs flew to us, nobody was there, thank god, the alarm went off, with the funds of the weapons liquidation fund. The aggression of russia and the city budget, the hospital is being rebuilt and thats how it will be. It will have two floors, it will be equipped with all the necessary elements for the work of our doctors. For this year, we have planned foundations, a brick box itself, and a roof, as well as work on the laying of engineering networks, the workers are in a hurry, because when people will return, they will need infrastructure. All communal institutions, and in particular health care and education institutions , should be closed so that people feel protected and see a future for their residence. The occupiers directed a rocket at the Cultural Center in dergachy, where the humanitarian headquarters was located. Why exactly was this Cultural Center chosen, because it had three floors, which saved lives from mortar fire, and it was very powerful. The bomb shelter and precisely on the day of the rockets arrival in this Cultural Center in there were more than a hundred people in the basement and fortunately the woman was not injured. It is also planned to be rebuilt, and i am in a hurry to restore peoples housing before winter. In total, they plan to complete the renovation of 17 apartment buildings. This twostory building has been under renovation since may. The foundation is made, the window is made, the house is completely insulated, already on. The roof is completely done, the chimneys are new, the windows are changed, but they decided to abandon the idea of creating a memorial park, the project cost 22 million hryvnias were decided to be withdrawn, the funds were directed to help the military. Svitlana shaker, oleksandr yanovskyi, details, inter tv channel, marathon only news. Another infrastructural. Challenge for the country is the heating season. The other day, the russians again hit the Energy Infrastructure for the first time in six months. The most difficult situation is in the frontline cities and near the nowdefunct kakhovsky reservoir. Manganets in the Dnipropetrovsk Region was left without a centralized water supply after the kakhovskaya hydroelectric power plant was blown up by the aggressor country. But local the authorities have already built an alternative significant one
