You can not send text directly to that element.
You should click on that element, this will open another input element where you will be able to insert your text input.
Also you have to use Expected Conditions explicit waits here.
This works:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
url = "https://opi.dfo.kz/p/ru/archive-publication/corporative-events-2020-14-07"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()))
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="CorporativeEvents20201407"]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[1]/span[3]'))).click()
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//input[@class='editor-text tip']"))).send_keys("010140000143")

The '//*[@id="CorporativeEvents20201407"]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[1]/span[3]' XPath locator can and should be improved as well. You can use //div[@class='logic-group-condition' and .//span[@field-name='tbOpiActiveRevisions_flBin']] Instead. This locator is much more reliable. So your code will be:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
url = "https://opi.dfo.kz/p/ru/archive-publication/corporative-events-2020-14-07"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()))
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='logic-group-condition' and .//span[@field-name='tbOpiActiveRevisions_flBin']]"))).click()
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//input[@class='editor-text tip']"))).send_keys("010140000143")

This is the screen shot of the web page after applying my code:

Yes, I get it that I should click on element and opent another input. but can u explain how it worked on ur computer? I have the same problem with broken UI after 20 secs it throws me TimeoutException. — Yerbol, Mar 27 '22 at 08:28
I'm sorry, but I don't understand. This code works correctly on my computer. It opens the input field and fills it with text. — Prophet, Mar 27 '22 at 08:30
