it is a subdivision of the main directorate of the general staff of the russian armed forces, better known as the gru. currently, kyivstar, together with the security service of ukraine, is working on restoring communication services. subscribers of kyivstar remain without communication for the second day. it is known that the digital infrastructure of kyivstar has suffered critical damage, so it will take some time to restore all services in compliance with the necessary security protocols. now we will talk about this topic, in particular with vasyl furman, doctor of economics. nauk, mr. vasyl, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, and i would like to first of all , to talk to you about the economic consequences of this cyber attack and to hear your assessment of how the business reacted, how it worked in this situation, whether it was able to recover successfully, because the first consequences of this cyber attack were the lack of communication, not...

working terminals, problems with cashless hryvnia, that is, the possibility of withdrawing this hryvnia in the same terminals or at cash registers, in bank branches, how the public experienced it and how it reacted, so please, how do you evaluate it, well, look, in my opinion, again, this is a war and... and it is going on all fronts, in the east, constant shelling of various places throughout the territory of ukraine, information war is going on, cyber war is going on, so this is one of the manifestations of war, and we must be ready for everything, that is, it is clear that there are negative consequences, they are for the economy, now clearly someone there can calculate for you, cannot say, that is, whether these are large volumes of losses, well, now we cannot even say to the end, because...

that so far the problem is not solved, well, as of now, i hope in the near future the largest mobile network in ukraine will work and the issue will be resolved. the second thing that concerns the banking system, the banking system , it works, and for almost two years of the war, we have already, we already have how many challenges there have been, how many of these cyber attacks, including on the banking system, simply and i think that before ... the respected majority of people, citizens, businesses, all saw the reliability of the banking system in our country. we work 24x7, we provide payments, we store funds of individuals and legal entities, and even if in at some point there were some inconveniences, again, yes, indeed, some atms did not work or there some post-terminals did not work, that is, but this does not mean that the entire banking system became, thanks to the initiative of the national bank, remember, there power banking, that is, today there are more than 200 branches. can

work without electricity, even without the internet, because there is a different internet, er, it is used, so but er, well, if there are even such inconveniences, business is always looking for ways to solve these problems, that is why ukrainians are there, i see that they are massively buying payment cards of other mobile operators, some of them also use the internet a lot, for example, when you are at work, there is wi-fi, so you can easily use it. there is an internet connection , so there are no strategic problems, yes, they are local, and we very much hope that they will be solved in the near future, from the point of view, for example, of withdrawing cash there, well, yes, but if an atm in some branch did not work, but believe me, we have a very wide network of branches throughout the territory of ukraine, the network of atms, so go to another atm, to another store, that is , from the point of view of cashless cash, how much do you have, well, gold... as a rule, it is necessary to diversify

all assets, especially during the war, we, we understand that, we survived there, remember, when it was the end of winter there, the spring of 22, that is, we, we saw it all, that is, today we are ready for very, very, many challenges in our state, so we will defeat this attack, of course , which is desired as soon as possible, that is, this is the first, for example , the national bank there is already conducting the relevant consultations with the banking system of our state, i.e. in order to... take measures so that everyone shares experience, simply how to become more secure, protected in the future from any attacks of the enemy, well, here i can actually advise you to talk with the people of kherson, which were under occupation for a long time and had problems, particularly with cash and non-cash hryvnias, but they got out of it in the last days and before the occupation. deoccupation, there were also big

problems with communication with electricity, in particular, people survived and waited for the arrival of the armed forces of ukraine and... can give some advice on how to live in the absence of the ability to withdraw cash hryvnias, here i wanted to clarify with you, you mentioned attacks on the banking system, how often does this happen, mr. vasyl, can you share information, or is it better exclusion, is it not, constantly, constantly, constantly and until the great war, that is, well, you remember, you remember the virus, that is, it was there... four or five years ago, that is, when the banking system was really there including suffered a lot too enterprises, i.e. and it was again, then it was simply proved that it was the enemy ’s doing, i.e. ours, therefore the banking system, it is protected, i.e. let ’s be frank, i.e. almost two years of the great

war, there were attacks, dozens, dozens, i.e. both at large banks and at national banks, everywhere simply, have you experienced any inconvenience in the work of the banking system, well , no. i personally did not feel, i even again, well, yes, i was lucky that i was on another one, not on kyivstar, that is, i have a different card, well, but in any case, that is, in the store there, well, i paid yesterday, that is, there were no questions, in the store, the network works, the gas station, well, it works, that is, the national bank keeps its finger on the pulse, well, on this issue, there is a constant dialogue with the banking system, the key in on this issue, that is, we have to be financially secure. the main goal, you understand, you , you understand, mr. vasyl, the main goal of this attack on the network of the mobile operator, is access to some personal data, or is it more a desire to cause some financial losses? here everything in general,

you understand, that is, the enemy wants as much as possible, he wants access to personal data, and financial losses, and in general, that kyivstar does not work, simply and the worse it will be in ukraine for him, the better it will be, we, we, we, we we understand you understand, that is, our key task is to oppose it, that is, we will oppose it, i think that tens, hundreds of years in the future, that is, we, we will not be able to do anything with our enemy, that is , we cannot change that state, which is on the perimeter there, well, our neighbor, therefore ours the key task in all directions is to reliably hold the defense, to be strong, better, to be ready for any attack, and we understand that... a war of attrition, a war unleashed by the russian federation, at least for attrition and at most for the destruction of the state of ukraine and ukrainians, but here i cannot help but ask the imf developed three scenarios for

ukraine, and for the post-war period, i think that you have familiarized yourself with these scenarios, what should the ukrainians prepare for, what would you advise, what do these... scenarios for ordinary ukrainians? thanks for the question, it's important question, it should be noted that the imf, the national bank, the cabinet of ministers, many ukrainian and international authoritative organizations develop scenarios, that is, the imf, in my opinion, is always more conservative in assessing the economic growth of our country, but at the same time, they have a very strong analytical apparatus. they develop scenarios for the development of the world economy, for the development of the economies of different countries around the world, so if you look at this extreme scenario, that is, yes, there are three of them, but i would like to since it is not expedient to analyze each one in detail, that is, it is necessary to understand exactly the basic scenario and what to prepare for, as you

say to our ukrainians, it simply means in terms of economic growth, if we are talking about this year, that is, the growth of the gdp economy, 4.5% of growth. 26th year - 5%, well, in general , we see the economic growth of our state in the basic scenarios, by the way, in their optimistic scenario, the economy may grow by 10% in the following years, but it should be, for example, very whole a number of positive factors, which factors, it is fast. not security risks, well, wars , then, significant inflows of investments into our state, but the return of ukrainians, that is, we know that more than 6 million ukrainians were forced to emigrate to the territory of our state, there are reforms that we understand,

the investment climate, well in simple words, very, very many things, that is, well, in general , the economy can grow at even greater rates than in the basic forecast of the international monetary fund, now in relation to... for example, here is what our citizens may be interested in the level of unemployment, and if we talk about this indicator in the base scenario, then in the 23rd year, according to the imf, it is at the level of 19%, but this indicator will already begin to decrease. and in the 24th year it will be 13.9% according to imf estimates, in the 25th year 13% and in the 26th year a little more than 11%. inflation, well, it's the rise in prices, it's something that hits the pockets of every ukrainian, that is, the higher the inflation, the worse it is. and therefore, regarding inflation, it is 6% at the end of this year according to their estimates, in the 24th year it will grow a little more than 9%, er... in the 25th year 6.5% and in the 26th year, 5.5%, for example, so if

it concerns the growth of wages, it is the real wages, i.e. what is the real wage, i.e. it is the nominal minus inflation, it turns out to be real, i.e. at the top of inflation, we will have it to grow, in the 23rd year of growth by 6%, in the 24th year by 8.5%, in the 25th year by 7.5%, that is, in general, the forecast for... we see the basic forecast, usually it is the most realistic, but very often, very often, look, almost all the forecasters who made the growth of our economy in the first quarter of this year, they gave up to 1%, including the international monetary fund, then forecasts are usually revised once a quarter, and the latest revision is already this year, we can see from one how it has increased, well, almost everyone is giving up the growth of the economy this year there is 5%. the same, for example, is possible. and in terms of inflation, i.e. the rise in prices, in the first quarter there was an increase of about 20%, in fact our inflation will be less than 5%

this year, thank you for the explanation vasyl, thank you so much, well, you see, that is, in general, this cautiously optimistic forecast of the development of our economy, we need more, or maybe, maybe, maybe and we hope that it will be, vasyl furman, doctor of economic sciences, was with us for communications. we move on. female military uniform: tactical underwear and promotion of gender equality in the armed forces of ukraine. all these are urgent questions of our defenders. they were considered at a charity event for military women, one among their own. it was held under the organization of the people's deputy of ukraine, the founder of the arm social initiative women now, iryna nikorak. the project is designed to psychologically reset the servicemen who protect the country. on the front line, as well as for a few hours to leave everyday wars at the door and get a charge

of positivity, inspired by creativity and music in a friendly atmosphere. according to the results of the event, a memorandum on strategic cooperation was signed by the commander of the 112th tro brigade and the founder of arm women now. as of now , the ministry of defense has already secured a model and prototype that we developed from underwear. i hope, already the closest sometimes women will be provided with underwear at the state level , and we expect the same step regarding uniforms, because the technical specification has already been developed by the ministry of defense, relevant changes have been made to the current orders, that is, all that remains is to make an order and start sewing this military uniform, until then did not happen, we for our part continue to fulfill our goal and mission, this event, it is definitely intended to ... relieve more after participating in combat actions of women who are directly involved, also i look,

that here in the west there are cadets of institutions, educational institutions, they can also communicate with, in a way, with mentors who have already participated in military operations and can share their experience. in fact, the arm women now initiative has come up with a very cool event called their own, where girls who are now wearing military uniforms can hug, exchange. with positive emotions, sometimes it is possible to cry, but it is necessary to understand that we are all together, and it is together that we go to victory. without the help of allies will have to fight as in the first days of russia's invasion, but this does not mean that we will lose, because the only thing we have is our state, volodymyr zelenskyy answered the question of whether ukraine can win without the help of partners. together with the prime minister of norway jonas haar, they held. joint briefing voslu, where the president flew to participate in the second ukraine-northern europe summit? in the first days

of the full-scale war, on february 24, we were really left alone, and it was difficult and very difficult, a tragic period for us, for our people, and you saw how it was, we were almost occupied, but we didn't give up and didn't run away, we started fighting, you ask if it's possible... without help it's possible, but as it was then, it's difficult, and many people die. oleksiy borichenko, candidate of political sciences, head of the international association of small communities with us... oleksiy, congratulations, glad to see you. congratulations, mutual. let's start with the actual international aid and not only from the united states of america, we will stop and discuss this in more detail a little later, but in general, the trends that are there now, could they in any way hint or indicate that

there may be less of this international aid. i wouldn't say that i see a trend that there will be less international aid overall, i would say that there are some signals now that we may not get it on time, or as much as, well, as quickly as expected, that by the way, it applies to both the track in the united states and the track in the european union, although in fact our president, we see, and the office of the president. and the government makes our diplomats do it absolutely everything is possible to walk that fine line, yes, without affecting the internal agenda of the united states there, because it is very sharp, very tense there right now, yes, and we must not, so to speak, yes, lose a bicameral , nor the two-party

majority that we have now, and to explain to all the actors that help is... critically necessary for us, given that yes, there are indeed already certain signals from various sides that ukraine is getting what she is promised, as it is said not only the democrats are there, or the president of the united states, biden, the republicans are also actively talking about it, just now there are a number of issues, primarily migration. questions, yes , they are of primary importance in them, and until there is a certain balance of interests, yes, well, these are the principles of democracy, you will not get anywhere from them, until that moment, well, no final decisions will be made regarding joint assistance to all strategic partners

of the united states states, this big package of 106 billion dollars, but everyone supports. ukraine, everyone says that putin does not you can, so to speak, yes, help , you can’t put such a gift under the christmas tree for putin, yes, that’s what biden himself said directly, and i think that in fact, according to the consequences , the consequences of the help will even be more than promised, but will it be now for us most likely a certain complex? period and, if possible , weapons and financial aid will most likely be, our president volodymyr zelenskyy directly says about this, so now we need to minimize the so-called da sreche in our media space and as much as possible to remember the level of consolidation that was

at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, because if we all work together and together... work exclusively for victory, then we, the russian federation, will not stand a chance, accordingly, in it. on the eve of an important event, december 14-15, actually, this is the eu summit, transcarpathian hungarians publicly appealed to the president of the european council, charles michel, and the prime minister of hungary, viktor orbán, and the appeal is quite serious, in my opinion. and what we can see and hear in the coming days, how the events will unfold in which are we directly interested, among european countries? yes, you see, well, the tracks run in parallel, but both in the united states and in the european union, both

israel and taiwan look at the situation from the track of american aid, and at... the final decision by the european council on december 14-15 the opening of ukraine's road to full membership of the european union is viewed both by the already active countries of the european union and by our largest partners, especially in eastern europe, as well as by the candidates, and for all, the decision is positive in relation to ukraine - it is a symbol, it is a signpost, it is hope. therefore, this issue is not only about ukraine, in the case of transcarpathian hungarians , our diplomacy worked very well and our position was very patriotic. the hungarians living in transcarpathia, who indicated , unequivocally, that they sent this letter not only

to orbán, yes, but also to the european council, showed that ukraine deserves support, ukraine deserves european openings for a full-fledged european path for it, and against the background of that , that volodymyr zelenskyy at the inauguration in argentina... talked with orbán, i think that this communication had an effect, had a result, and i am deeply convinced that together we will be able to convince everyone who has some skepticism, i now mean hungary, slovakia, and austria, especially since orbán has already replied that he can vote, and slovakia's fico has also said to block the decision. will not be in ukraine, this is an extremely historical and important event for us, that is why we are our diplomatic landing force, and our ukrainians have already done

absolutely everything, fulfilled absolutely all the recommendations of the european union, in waiting for this invitation, this vote of the european council, that is, do you expect the eu to say yes to ukraine? i really hope so, i'm keeping my fingers crossed. i think that i am not alone, our whole country will keep its fingers crossed for this, and even more so, once again we repeat that ukraine has done absolutely everything, this was confirmed by the same usula fondelain, the yazira commission, who noted that ukraine fulfilled more, almost 90% of all recommendations and gave their decision accordingly to the european council, taking into account that our diplomacy... so now on to our screen, kuleba, ministerial affairs, does a titanic job every day in order to , in addition to vicious recommendations, get

specific, specific support from each country of the european union, making a special aspect the attention of those who have a certain skepticism, i naturally count on the fact that the european union show principle'. a typical position will show the whole world and, above all, himself, that he has values ​​and is ready to stand and fight for these values, in fact, now fate largely depends on this decision and of the european union itself, so i am as determined as possible. thank you, oleksiy, for your confidence, attitude and for joining our broadcast, oleksiy boryachenko, candidate of political sciences, head of the international association of small communities. we continue the broadcast: in russia , the production of a new strike drone called the termite has been put on the assembly line. this was reported by

the american institute for the study of war with reference to russian sources. the drone, the analysts noted, is armed with 80-millimeter missiles, their range is up to 6 km, at the same time, defense express reported that the termite drone, first shown by the russians in 2020 , was then a helicopter-type drone. planned to equip guided missiles with semi-active laser guidance. anatoly khrapchynskyi, an aviation expert, is in touch with us, anatoly, i congratulate you. congratulations. what do you know about this thermite that i talked about at the beginning, which is unmanned aircraft, how far in the future they can deploy, scale their production, and how much of a problem it could be for ours. air defense systems for the armed forces forces of ukraine as a whole? if we talk directly about this termite, then russia has been developing this bepla

helicopter-type tool since the end of the 18th year, that is, we understand that they have been engaged and preoccupied with this issue for some time, but the fact is that if we talk about weapons, that it can carry are k8 missiles, and these are old soviet missiles, not guided, although they have the l modification, that is, with laser guidance, and how do they assure that these missiles can be guided thanks to this uav. as for uavs, here it is necessary to understand that with the advent of cheaper drones of the fpv type, the direction in the matter of suppressing the radio communication between the bepla and the pilot began to develop strongly, and to say... that, for example, this uav will bypass means of electronic warfare, i would not be so sure because it's really a matter of

suppressing it. will be solved very easily, therefore, again, this is a development that shows russia mostly as a propaganda machine, which is trying to show something, that they are capable of something, but again , we are returning to the old soviet missiles, and questions about its application, countermeasures, there are already certain means of good radio-electronic warfare that can suppress it. the intelligence reported that the day before in... at the russian airport, a boarder with another batch of iranian shaheds, and by the way, the occupiers announced the release of a modernized version of kamikaze shahet drones. tehran seems to have developed a new kamikaze drone. it refers to the jet version of the bepla shahit, which russia uses for attacks on the territory of ukraine, and the new version, as noted, will be with a jet engine, as far as it can be

a problem for... the armed forces of ukraine, and not only, because mainly the russians launch these shaheds on civilian cities, that is, on you and me, if we talk about the fundamental part of aerodynamics or the laws of physics, the appearance of a jet engine implies a complete change in the appearance and the change is so to speak of the basic structures, so the basic rules of corrugation, so i would not be so sure, right now we will see these reactive shaheds, because it was actually a presentation by iran directly to its leadership there, and the functions that they pointed out - these are shaheds for designed to destroy radar stations, because they have radar guidance, if you say directly, as a countermeasure against these shaheds with a jet engine, here ... you can

counter missiles with thermal guidance, because a jet engine, it emits thermal radiation, and therefore it can be destroyed. regarding the actions of russia regarding the change of some changes in the shaheds, which we currently see, and these were changes of the antennas directly for guidance, we also see the mobile modems are wrapped with tape. there, this is actually an attempt to find a solution to the restrictions that russia or iran face in terms of sanctions there, because they put antennas on their comets, an attempt to change the engine is also an attempt to find some kind of solution to produce it on their own at their own facilities. of course, that is, the russians are also looking for some technological solutions to the

situation in which they are now. in particular , they too. anatoly hrabchynskyi, an aviation expert, was in touch with us. thank you for your comments. well, our broadcast continues. i want thank all viewers. my name is maksym sborovskyi. take care and help the armed forces of ukraine. next, our broadcast will be picked up by colleagues from the my ukraine tv channel. talkers bringing victory closer. rules of a warm country. healthy care. thank you for gaining energy on foot, avoiding the elevator and restoring health. let's beat the winter together. i am

a russian warship, i suggest you lay down your arms and surrender. we are still right. fate will smile, our witches will change like cross-country in the sun, we brothers will reign in our own.
