The furniture industry is constantly evolving, offering new solutions for creating stylish and functional interiors. One of these innovative solutions is the GOLA profile system for handleless facades, which is becoming increasingly popular among designers and consumers. Let’s take a look at the main features and advantages of using GOLA profiles, as well as their impact on the appearance and functionality of furniture.
GOLA profiles are a system that allows you to completely eliminate the use of traditional handles on furniture facades. Thanks to special grooves built into the furniture body, it is possible to open doors and drawers by gripping the facade with your hand. This solution provides a sleek and minimalist look for furniture that meets modern trends in interior design.
Advantages of GOLA profiles
Aesthetic appearance: One of the main advantages of GOLA profiles is their ability to create a clean and elegant look for furniture. The absence of visible fittings allows you to focus on the lines and shapes of the furniture itself, which gives the interior a modern and stylish look.
Functionality: GOLA profiles make furniture more convenient to use. Thanks to special grooves, opening and closing doors becomes easy and convenient. This is especially important for kitchen furniture, where quick and convenient access to the contents of cabinets and drawers is of great importance.
Easy to maintain: The absence of protruding elements, such as handles, simplifies the maintenance of furniture. Dust and dirt do not accumulate on the fittings, and smooth surfaces are easy to clean, which is an important aspect of maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in the house.
More space: The use of GOLA profiles allows for more efficient use of space in the room. The absence of handles provides more freedom when arranging furniture and reduces the risk of accidental bumps or snags, which is especially important in small spaces.
GOLA profiles can be used in various types of furniture, but they are especially popular in kitchen sets. Thanks to them, even the simplest kitchen facades acquire a modern look. In addition to kitchens, the GOLA system is also perfect for bathrooms, dressing rooms and living rooms, where aesthetics and functionality are also of great importance.
The GOLA profile system is an innovative solution that combines modern design and high functionality. The absence of handles not only improves the appearance of the furniture, but also makes it easier to use and maintain. GOLA profiles transform furniture, adding style and elegance to it, making it the perfect choice for modern interiors.

The agricultural company Cygnet has completed the winter wheat harvest and harvested 17.5 thou tons from an area of 2.2 thou hectares, the company’s press service reported on Facebook.
“We planned to complete the winter wheat harvest in 12 days, but actually managed to do it in 10 days. Despite the intense heat, everything went quickly, and it did not interfere with our harvesting,” said Oleksandr Shramko, deputy general director for crop production at Cygnet.
According to him, nine harvesters were working, including five hired ones. The average productivity of the combine was 24.5 hectares per day.
“This year, we achieved a record yield of 7.85 tons per hectare. In the early stages of wheat development, weather conditions were quite good, but in late May and early June there was a lack of precipitation, so in some periods the plants were stressed. However, in the second half of June, we got rainfall and the situation changed for the better. Speaking of yields, this year’s yields are above average, which is quite good,” Shramko added.
Cygnet cultivates about 29 thousand hectares in Zhytomyr and Vinnytsia regions, where it grows corn, soybeans, winter wheat, and sugar beets. The company’s assets include an elevator with a simultaneous storage capacity of 60 thousand tons and a sugar plant with a processing capacity of up to 2.8 thousand tons of beets per day (both in Zhytomyr region).
The company also has a dairy business (605 cows), which sells its products to local processors.
Citroёn has fulfilled an order to supply 290 vehicles to Ukrtelecom, the country’s largest fixed-line operator, with financing from Avis Ukraine, the automaker’s representative office in Ukraine has announced.
“This is the first experience of supplying Citroёn vehicles to Ukrtelecom. The deal was made through the Citroën Ilta Lviv dealership with financing from Avis Ukraine, which will also provide Ukrtelecom with a full package of operational leasing services: car maintenance at service stations, tire storage, replacement cars for the duration of service and other services,” the representative office said in a press release.
Avis Ukraine has been providing leasing services to Ukrtelecom for three years. As part of the fleet renewal, the operator requested vehicles that meet the company’s current development program.
“Citroёn cars showed the best ratio of consumer properties for a competitive price,” the company said in a statement without specifying the value of the agreement.
As part of the agreement, Ukrtelecom received 235 Citroёn Berlingo minivans and 55 Citroёn C-Elysée sedans.
The press release notes that as part of Ukrtelecom’s requirement to deliver the vehicles directly to the operator’s branches in all regional centers of Ukraine, the vehicles were prepared and delivered by Citroën Ilta Lviv, one of the largest dealers of Stellantis vehicles in Ukraine.
The official representative office of Citroën in Ukraine has been operating since 2010. Currently, the brand is represented by Stellantis.
In 2024, the company plans to increase Citroën sales in Ukraine by more than 1.5 times compared to 2023 – up to 3,057 thousand (including 2,885 thousand passenger cars).
“Avis Ukraine is a division of Avis, an international car rental and leasing provider with offices in 185 countries. In Ukraine, the company provides services under the Avis (since 1997) and Payless (since 2016) brands, ranging from car rental for individuals and legal entities to the formation of car fleets for operational leasing.
According to the company’s website, its fleet includes more than 3.5 thousand vehicles.
To restore the reclamation system in southern Ukraine, after the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, Israel proposes to focus on the development of wastewater treatment and desalination of sea water
To restore the reclamation system in southern Ukraine, after the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, Israel proposes to focus on the development of wastewater treatment and desalination of sea water. This was announced by Denis Gamzin, designer of the Israeli Water Authority, during the conference “Israeli Water Supply and Agricultural Technologies – Experience for Ukraine” held at the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
“Israel has turned an environmental threat into a valuable resource. The country, which is located in the desert, reuses about 450 million m3 of treated wastewater, which is half of the water needs of agriculture, and 90% of treated wastewater is used for irrigation. In general, treated wastewater covers 25% of all Israel’s water needs, another 25% is desalinated water and 50% is fresh water,” said Denis Gamzin. According to him, in the next 25 years, the share of treated wastewater in Israel’s agricultural consumption will increase to almost 70%. “Israel is strengthening control over the quality of wastewater treatment and expanding the practice of secondary and tertiary use of treated wastewater,” added Denis Gamzin.
Israel is also actively developing seawater desalination plants. “There are currently three large seawater desalination plants in Israel with a capacity of 400 million m3. In the next 10 years, 4 more plants will be launched, and the processing capacity will increase to 1200 million m3,” said the designer of the Israel Water Authority.
According to Denys Gamzin, Ukraine has a great potential to use treated wastewater and sea water for agricultural purposes, primarily for the needs of agriculture. The large territory allows choosing rational locations for desalination plants, unlike in Israel, where, due to the lack of land, plants are located not near water sources, but where there is free land, sometimes in the center of the country.
Yonatan Tsadka, Director of the Department of Economic Affairs for Asia and Eurasia at the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, noted that modern water treatment technologies have emerged thanks to Israel’s policy of developing innovations. According to him, Israel is focused on innovative areas, especially in the circumstances in which Israel found itself. “There are national plans that allow the entire population to focus on creating breakthrough technologies that will be very important in the future. One of the driving factors is climate change. In this area, Israel has a certain advantage, and new challenges strengthen our resilience. Now we are facing the issues of migration of foreign workers and changes in supply chains,” said Yonatan Tsadka.
Vitaliy Holovnya, Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food, noted that the issue of efficient use of water resources and the search for new sources of water for irrigation is important for Ukraine. “This is a topical issue in connection with climate change and the loss of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant in terms of irrigation and water supply. Implementation of projects following the example of Israeli ones will help solve food security issues,” said Vitaliy Holovnya.
Gennadiy Chyzhykov, President of the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, noted that Israel has shown one of the best results during the war. “This country’s experience will be very useful for Ukraine,” he said.
Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine Michael Brodsky said that the Watec Israel conference will be held in Jerusalem on September 16-19, 2024. “This is a unique opportunity to see different technologies that have been working in different countries for many years and can be useful for Ukraine,” said Michael Brodsky.
According to the State Agency of Ukraine for the Development of Land Reclamation, Fisheries and Food Programs of Ukraine, the destruction of the Kakhovka HPP left 94% of irrigation systems in Kherson, 74% in Zaporizhzhia and 30% in Dnipropetrovs’k regions without a source of irrigation for a long time. In total, more than 350 irrigation pumping stations and about 1.1 thousand kilometers of reclamation canals cannot be used.

According to the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine, in 2021, the volume of discharged wastewater amounted to 4.686 billion m3, of which 58% was normatively clean, 30% normatively treated and 12% polluted.

On July 16, 2024, the Embassy of France in Ukraine held a reception on the occasion of the main national holiday of the French Republic – the 235th anniversary of the Bastille Day.
The historical event that gave rise to the holiday took place during the French Revolution in 1789. The rebellious Parisians stormed the Bastille fortress-prison, which was considered a symbol of monarchical despotism, and finally eliminated the power of the king in France.
The events brought about by the revolution in France influenced political processes around the world, and the formation of democratic values was initiated by the French Revolution.
Mr. Gael Veyer, Ambassador of the French Republic to Ukraine
