good evening, we are from ukraine. we continue our great story and now is the time to talk about money during the war. oleksandr morchivka will summarize the economic results of the week today. alexander, congratulations. greetings to the audience, thank you vasyl for his words, a lot of interesting and important things happened, in particular, the vast majority of news will be about international aid, who transferred how much to ukraine and where this money will go, all about it in detail in a moment. i am oleksandr morchyvka, congratulations, this is a column about money during the war. i start with the important figures, these are directly the sums, specific numbers, specific money that went to ukraine from international donors. so, this week our state received almost 900 million dollars, this is financing from the international monetary fund, the third tranche within the framework of the current extended financing program, the ministry of finance reported. will help to timely

finance important state budget expenditures and support macroeconomic stability now, especially when the economy needs external financing. indeed, this is financing from the imf, such a result of long negotiations, the result of the implementation of a series tasks, and looking at the implementation of these structural beacons of our main creditor, the fund has improved expectations. regarding the growth of ukraine's gross domestic product. according to the results of the current year, the gdp will be 4.5%. despite the war, the indicators turned out to be stronger and more optimistic than expected. however, the imf adds that there are risks, they depend on the course of hostilities. there is also the uncertainty caused by potential political mistakes in policy. well, in particular, this applies to the work

of parliamentarians, the work of the government, certain debates between political forces, it all plays into, in particular , the growth of gdp, also the reason that the economy can change its indicators is the delay of a number of financing from international partners, and the european council decided to create a ukrainian. fund of eur 50 billion for the years 2024-2027, the ministry of foreign affairs of our country informed about this , it was noted that this is a clear signal that the financial support of our country from the european union will continue, the ministry added, the funds will be directed to the stabilization of the macroeconomics, restoration, modernization, in general , of all industries, all spheres in our country, as well as financing will help speed up... the path to

membership in the european union, and 150 million euros to support ukrenergo during the heating season was allocated by the european bank for reconstruction and development, the parties signed favorable, relevant agreements. this is a significant contribution of partners to our energy security, said the head of the government, denys shmyhal. also, in cooperation with the european union, ukraine is rebuilding trunk networks. and provided ukraine with a new aid package worth 120 million euros this week sweden, the head of the government there, ulf kristerson, said about it. well, as the prime minister noted, this is the largest support from sweden to date, the funds will be directed to the purchase of equipment for heating and power transmission to the ukrainian power grid, and part of the funds will also go to the creation of shelters. as

for the state aid in the budget, germany will increase the aid to ukraine to 8 billion euros in its budget, this is in the budget for next year, said anna lührmann, minister of state for european affairs of the federal republic of germany. well, germany's stance on support european integration of ukraine also remains clear. i think that a certain part of these funds will also be directed to our european integration. news for the financial sector happened this week. the national bank decided to reduce the discount rate by 1% to 15% per annum. well, they did it because the analysts of the national bank believe that there has been such a certain slowdown in inflation, they see optimistic forecasts regarding prices, and that's why they decided to lower the discount rate, which also contributed to the decrease. certain extension of the proposals

food, harvest, from the new harvest, the stability of the hryvnia, well, i won't go into too much detail about what the discount rate is, but it is positive. a signal, in particular for banks, a positive signal for business, because this will be the stability of credit funds for entrepreneurs, for consumers interest rates on loans will not increase, well, vasyl, i must add that already in the fifth, if i am not mistaken, over the past few months, on the contrary , the discount rate has been raised in russia, and this is again evidence that prices and inflation there are rapidly are growing, well, it’s true what putin was talking about yesterday... about their successful successes, we need to share, and today they raised the discount rate, because prices are rising, well, it’s mathematics, for a reason, someone wrote on that screen, who was with putin behind his back or somewhere near him, that when real life becomes similar to the one on tv, well, it’s true, well, and

the cabinet of ministers also announced the amount of taxes that will be spent on defense next year, so the government will direct all the levies that will come to the war in the budget, as per... population, as well as from entrepreneurs. it is expected that it will be approximately uah 1.5. it is also planned to attract funds from the placement of military bonds, dividends from state-owned companies, profits of the national bank and money from privatization to the defense sector. during the year of operation of the danube ports , 23 new terminals and 20 cargo transshipment points were opened. this was reported by the head of the monitoring department. group of the institute of black sea strategic studies andrii klymenko. they also increased the number of pilots, introduced the passage of ships at night, and all this under shelling, the analyst adds. mainly grain, oil crops and oil products were transported through the danube ports. i believe, vasyl,

that this is winning news, and no russia is needed in order to obtain permission from muscovy by waterways. said that we have to somehow transport grain to our partners abroad, and without russia we can at least do it via the danube, well, the danube enters and exits europe, there is room to sail there, and skill is also important here, because it is not easy these passages are masterfully done, there are leadership ones passage, there are also some terminology, and this also happens under shelling very often, well, that's why there were mines, and there were also some mines on the way of the investigation of ships, do you remember those were there. shelling has been repeated, that's all and it all continues, well, the ukrainians are surprising again, first of all, they got the opportunity to continue the grain corridor through the black sea, well there in certain volumes, plus, they do it this way. well,

thank god, slovak carriers have stopped blocking the uzhhorod-vyshnya checkpoint in germany for an indefinite period. currently, it has been restored there usual passage of freight transport. this was reported by the state border service of ukraine. more than 60 trucks have already been cleared at the checkpoint for departure from ukraine, and more than 60 more are in the electronic queue. and the government of great britain will help ten of our communities in recovery. they were chosen based on the results of the competition announced by the ministry of infrastructure. well, it is within the scope of such a joint project between ukraine and the united kingdom, it is called. this initiative is the early recovery of ukraine. applications were sent by 487 otgs that suffered as a result russian aggression. the largest number of appeals came from the dnipropetrovsk, kyiv, poltava, kharkiv, and sumy regions. the vast majority of requests concern the reconstruction of educational institutions,

the water supply system, rehabilitation centers and other infrastructure facilities. well, the government does bet on certain promising funds. go to the state budget from privatization. next year, the state property fund plans to put about a thousand properties up for sale. as the head of the department vitaliy koval specified, all of them will be sold through privatization auctions. the search for effective owners is timely, since ukraine cannot afford to generate losses during the war, but these enterprises, which will be put up for sale, are essentially assets, this is property that bears losses and has no... income. according to the chairman of the state property fund , small and medium-sized businesses should be at the center of the denationalization process. the head of the fund called on such entrepreneurs to cooperate. liquidation of the consequences

of the russian detonation of the kakhovskaya hpp continues to restore water supply in kryvyi rih on pumps are installed in the main water supply. the section of the ingulets southern reservoir has a length of 26 km. there are already five plants out of the 17 planned, the state agency for restoration reported about it. at the same time, specialists carry out work on concreting walls, reinforcement and installation according to the plan of the water main. it will have a length of 145 km. well, if we talk about the topic, the topic of water supply, and if i am not mistaken , experts say that the main line that lays the water supply from zaporizhzhia, through the myrivsk community, marganets, to nikopol is already 85% ready, there too work is actively going on, well, by the way, it is not so noticeable, but all this is being done, and thank god, in fact, that people will have access. they are waiting, really waiting in this region, in these areas for water. let's move on, the application

for receiving aid within the framework of the state program has been restored, it is now possible to submit not only in the action application, this service is available through centers for the provision of administrative services, or it can be ordered from a notary at notaries, reported on the government portal. so, to submit an application, you need to come to tsnap or a notary, bring an identification code, passport, well, know your... address, if there is any preferential category, provide a document that you are a beneficiary, and in this way wait for financing. finally blocked the house of representatives of the united states this week banned the import of russian uranium, it is reported, the news agencies of the states report, this decision was voted for by both parties, well, the law came into force. 90 days after approval by the us senate and president joe biden. i will remind only that

12% of american power plants used and used uranium zarephie, this is already after the full-scale invasion began. well, here is such information. i think i understand that this decision was being prepared, but when putin said the reckless phrase yesterday that the west will surrender, europe will surrender, the usa will surrender, he will stand. i think it stuck. i think such solutions. there will be many who will one way or another show russia, its real place in the economic and political weight of the world, well, i really want to show our partners as the late mccain said, what a gas station country is capable of. well, vasyl, this is a rather painful question, both for russia and for the states, for the european union, it is nuclear , that is , nuclear fuel . some ways, because well... it is always dependent on russia, and it is also not an option, it is also such a financially important component of

the kremlin's income after energy resources, that's why a lot is tied up here, in particular, well, you and i said that russia economically, she is essentially penetrated into all branches of the european union, so it is difficult to quickly eradicate the use of tvel nuclear fuel, for example, which is produced by russia, but they are slowly moving towards it, and if we are talking about sanctions. here is some interesting information: the japanese government has announced the introduction of restrictions against 135 russian and russia-related companies and individuals who helped the kremlin to circumvent sanctions, and these vasyl are not only identified as specific businesses, but also associated individuals, ordinary people , some entrepreneurs who help to somehow find loopholes, well, by the way , yesterday we looked at such a graphic, well, a diagram. figure, how many foreign components are there in the kha-47 kenjal missile, 73 are american, there are

swiss, belgian, german to a lesser extent, but actually the kenjal missile is made in the united states, but what about nato countries, so of course we have to work with that , so that this does not happen, because in fact super-accurate, high-precision russian missiles, it is made of high-quality components, well, this is how i saw the economic week on the espresso channel completes its results, but a great vasyl winter's broadcast. there will be more, watch us! we thank oleksandr for the economic summaries of the week, and now we will ask serhiy how serhii rudenko and his guests in the verdict program will summarize this week. serhiy, good evening, please, good evening vasyl, today we will summarize the european union summit, because this summit has become historic for ukraine. and not only for ukraine, for moldova and georgia, because ukraine and moldova are starting major negotiations with

the european union, and georgia is getting the status of a candidate for membership in the european union. about all this, about we will talk about the events that took place during this two-day summit and orbán's role in this story with diplomat and politician valery chaly, former ambassador extraordinary plenipotentiary. of ukraine in the united states of america, will analyze what happened in brussels on december 14-15, and of course we will talk about the prospects of these negotiations, because the negotiations should be... held with all the members of the european union, 27 countries, 27 negotiations, and as already in hungary hastened to declare that they will still have 75 of these negotiations, and at each stage they can block, or at least exercise your right to veto what to do with orban, is it only a question

of the european union of ukraine or the european union, and most importantly, in which one. in the future, ukraine can reach the final, that is, before the decision of the european union summit that ukraine will become a member of the european union. all this will be during the first hour of our broadcast. in the second part of our broadcast, there will be a journalism club. i, together with my colleagues, with olga len and bohdan butkevich, will talk about december 14 as the day of the fight against evil and against good or good against evil, because practically simultaneously with a big press conference of vladimir putin took place at the summit of the european union, and vladimir putin once again said that the main goal of his war against ukraine is denazification and demilitarization, they do not

give up on this, against the background of this information appeared in german. more information about the fact that russia is supposedly planning to seize kharkiv, dnipro and zaporizhzhia by 2026, well, of course, all these forecasts and all these hopes of putin will be obviously useless, but at least we will remember about this, about this forecast, because a picture of its time... because at one time, we somewhat underestimated the forecasts made by the german press in the 21st year, let's look more carefully at this, and of course we will talk about orbán, about his motives during the european union, and in connection with our studio will be our correspondent natalka starapravo

, who is in brussels, who saw live what happened at the european union summit, well, at least in... the bars of the european union, obviously the topic of ukraine and moldova was one of the main topics at this summit, let's hear what natalka has to say, literally in 12 minutes we start the big verdict, well the great winter broadcast continues, vasyl, you have the word, thank you serhii, serhii rudenko at 8:00 p.m., but now we will listen and see what yevhen has prepared for us. ukrainian clubs have completed their performance in the imenazy eurocups. football clubs this year, with what results, in which city our country has now ended up in the european ranking table, let's see. luhansk zorya finished their performances in the eurocups with a record victory. the day before, in the final round

of the group stage of the conference league, the ukrainian team defeated the icelandic breide blik 4:0. he celebrated with scored goals. eduardo guerrero, peter mychyn and igor horbach. the icelanders scored another goal in their own goal. for lugansk, this match had no tournament significance, zorya lost its chances for further competition in the conference league earlier. however, the defeat of breidablik became the team's biggest victory in the eurocups. zorya ended the performance in the third position of group b, having scored seven points. the luhansk team let gent and maccabi telyaviv advance. brijde blick finished fourth without scoring a single point. ukraine ends the year on the 18th place in the ranking of uefa coefficients. our country managed to bypass serbia, while at the same time greece overtook us, which rose from 19th to 17th place after the sixth round of the eurocups. in the spring, ukraine will be represented on the international stage by only one ukrainian club - shakhtar donetsk in the europa league. the miners

will have the opportunity to increase ukraine's gap in the rating from 19th place. there are no changes in the top 10. leader. england is on the list, spain is second, and italy is on the third step. the professional football league supported andrii's candidacy shevchenko on the eve of the so-called presidential elections of the ukrainian football association. representatives of the clubs of the first and second leagues insist on a personal meeting with shevchenko in order to get answers to their questions before the elections. shevchenko's candidacy has already been nominated by 19 permanent collective members of the organization out of 27. shevchenko, whom president volodymyr zelenskyi appointed as his freelance adviser in september, remains the only candidate for the post of uaf president. a few days ago, the former head coach. blue-yellow announced the preparation of the program and team selection. an extraordinary congress of the uaf, where a new head of the organization is to be elected, is scheduled for january 25 next year.

the third stage of the biathlon world cup is underway in the swiss picturesque lenserheide. the men's sprint took place today. ukraine was represented by dmytro pidruchnyi artem pryma, anton dudchenko, artem tyshchenko and taras lysyuk. the best ukrainian performance. the leader of the team is the assistant, who finished 22nd. prima 44th, lesyuk - 45th. all three qualified for the pursuit race. tyshchenko finished 63rd, and duchenko - 78. german biathlete benedikt dohl won the race. the pursuit races in switzerland will take place tomorrow. well, we have finished ours. lips their performances, zorya luhansk, at least slammed the door, but even the fact that they lost in fact their stock matches with

their israeli colleagues, there is nothing wrong with that either, we can say that odnets and shakhtar , despite everything, jumped above their heads, if only a little somewhere lucky, we could be in the champions league, and we all perfectly understand that our main struggle is at the front, and we support our fighters, weapons... forces of ukraine, we join the donations now either in the armed forces or for the armed forces, the third, as they say, is not given. well, a little thaw has passed through ukraine, i can't speak for all regions, because i'm not present in all of them at the same time, i 'm not a whip who was everywhere, everywhere, i'm only in one place, but now it's even a little bit frosty evening, and we'll see , let's see what the weather will be like this weekend, where in which regions and what should we prepare for, let's listen and watch, that will tell us natalka didenko.

year of the grand prix of the international choral competition in des moines, usa 92nd year of the grand prix and gold diploma in poland gold diploma of the highest degree and grand prix of the first international competition in rome , italy sacred music aroma golden david in florence, a festival of orchestral choral groups gia kancheli gia kancheli , the composer said: children's choirs exist in many countries, but a generous phenomenon, special because it is based on the unique choral traditions laid down by irina sablina, successfully continued by her daughter mariana sablina, thanks to them shchedrik became a unique phenomenon, this is how shchedrik conquers the whole world, i am very proud and happy, because once upon a time, a long time ago... i sang in this children's choir, this is how i took advantage of an official position, so to speak, but this is of course a joke, be sure to take an interest in this unique cultural ukrainian phenomenon, and we will move on to behavior. of higher forces

of atmospheric, so to speak, now to your attention prognostic chart, magnetic storms, with it, it is clear that there will be activation tomorrow, so please, especially in such a not very comfortable time of the year, listen to yourself, to your well-being and be sure to take care of prevention, and we will actually move on to the weather, now for your attention the forecast about the weather for the coming weekend, on saturday, i want to say right away that it will be mostly warm everywhere, although it will freeze at night. so, let's start with the western regions, tomorrow there will be wet snow in places, the roads will be slippery, the daytime air temperature will be from one to three, from one frost to 3° heat. in the north tomorrow there will also be sleet, snow, ice on the roads , air temperature -1 +2. cloudy weather will prevail in the east, but without significant precipitation, it will be a little colder, the maximum temperature is only -1-4°.

to return to this topic, which was a terrorist attack, let's call it that, which happened in zakarpattia oblast, deputy serhiy batryn threw grenades, why did it happen, obviously the problem was that the village head, a man , his surname allocated a 50% premium. a monthly bonus of 100% of the report, deputy batryn was against it, he was not listened to at the meeting of the village council, and then he came in and said: i can say, and threw grenades, 26 people were injured, more information will be available later, before that, batryn, batryn wrote a suicide note , but he is alive now, doctors are fighting for his life, here only one thing needs to be emphasized, here now it is not who is the servant of the people, who is european solidarity, or is it possible that there is some other another party, no, now it doesn't matter at all, it's local politics, there are

their own. history, but during the war we are all in a state of stress, we know, we don't know about it, we want to admit it to ourselves, we don't want to, we are all in a state of stress, uncertainty, not understanding what will happen tomorrow, we are going to victory, we are fighting, well , this is a difficult situation, often people can act inappropriately, completely unexpectedly, something can trigger you so much that you simply do something that you could not do, and fully knowingly believing that this is your struggle for justice, and people who are completely innocent can suffer, so first of all, you can't steal, you can't act like that, thinking that all fools are the same. we need to communicate, we need to find understanding, we need to hold dialogues, we are a whole society that lives in stress and partly to a greater or lesser extent in the so-called post-traumatic syndrome, this syndrome continues in us, let's be more sensitive and definitely steal, draw money for ourselves, when there is not enough somewhere on the front, no one needs it, from the village to the cabinet of ministers of ukraine, this is important. thank you for being with us, i say goodbye to you until monday, well , in just a few moments the program will be the verdict,

let's watch and listen together. good evening, we are from ukraine! glory to ukraine, this is the verdict program, my name is serhiy rudenko, i congratulate everyone and wish everyone good health. during the next two hours we talk about war, about victory, about ukraine and the world. today in the program. in a historic decision , the european union supported the start of negotiations on ukraine's membership. what path awaits our country before joining the eu? circumventing hungary's veto on providing money to ukraine, does the western countries have a plan b. the struggle for aid to ukraine continues. the us senate postponed the christmas break. will it be possible to find a compromise? protet.
