becomes from the financial one, which international partners are really trying to quickly transfer to our coffers. it must be understood that now, despite all the respect for the united states, the european union takes the lead, and in the future, we hope that in the coming years, and this is already provided for in the project, in the budget of the european union, our state will receive international funding from there. the only thing i want to say is that it is difficult now... for ukraine to raise its own finances, because many enterprises are destroyed, many enterprises do not receive such profits, accordingly, they do not pay lower taxes. currently, the european union is betting especially on small and medium-sized businesses, which are a donor that replenishes the treasury, and accordingly, from the income from small and medium-sized enterprises, our soldiers receive material support, financing, a bonus, as they say, but it must be understood. that

at the same time, i want the authorities to understand that fiscal pressure, especially, as happened this year, revise certain tax rates, try to return, despite even the recommendations of the international currency fund, return business inspections , it seems to me that the government should have acted more carefully here, just to let people work and let people replenish the treasury, well, yes, these words... i think it was about one of the people's deputies from the servant people , about how to shear sheep, and then pluck geese, well, you definitely can’t put a waistline, it seems to me that there will be no one to shear a little more like this policy, and it’s people, and even business, it’s not geese and not sheep , this is obviously from some criminal criminal slang, you can probably treat it that way, but definitely not from the state, from the officials, please yuri, oleksandr, you know, i had a question after the story, look, we get a lot

from our western partners, it comes both in the form of loans, yes, as far as i understand, and in the form of non-refundable aid of some kind, but there are loans, and from the international monetary fund, and if you take into account the fact that we received a lot of these loans even before the war, we need to constantly give back, during the 23rd year we give them or this any credit holidays, thank you yura for the question, you really need to understand that in addition to grants, these non-returnable funds are just such a sub. holdings of our budget , after all, the lion's share is loans, and we must understand that we will have to give them, the only plus - loans at a preferential rate, it is insignificant, both from the international monetary fund, as from european credit organizations, that is the european bank reconstruction and development, the european investment bank, they are coming towards us, but these rates are accumulating and we will need to understand that we will have to give the funds , i will not say that this is... a mess, yes, this is

a burden that hangs on the shoulders of ukraine, and i am sure again that next year these rates on loans to us will be restructured, that is, they will be spread over a certain period , they will soften the calculation, they promise us that, and our ministry of finance hopes for it, but still , understand, after the victory , we will still give this money from our economy, from our incomes, but here we have to thank international partners as a plus. in particular, the european one union for grants, just as we are talking about small and medium-sized businesses, just like the european program, ua for business supports the development of veteran businesses, women's businesses with non-refundable funds, these are popular directions for breaking up, these are popular directions to find yourself now in wartime ukraine, and this perspective for filling not only state, but also local budgets, community development, mrs. natalie, please, i wanted to ask, well, what... as for the financial

support of the military, it is clear there, and help, and of course, the rear life is also very important, and a person is interested every day in what to buy, how to feed, how much it costs, such simple questions that we all live by, well, every day in fact, and are there any predictions about the behavior of our hryvnia , well, in relation to the euro, to the dollar? well, how will she behave? thank you natalka for the question. what is important for all of us this year is that the national bank slightly softened its exchange rate regulation, well, it partially let the hryvnia float in relation to the euro and the dollar, and it must be understood that our national currency reacted quite positively to the collapse of such forecasts given by skeptics that the dollar would rise wildly on the second day, the hryvnia would depreciate.

did not happen, well, of course, we had a certain financial rear, again, this is the rear of the gold and currency reserves of ukraine, which were built up thanks to our international partners, it is clear that a part of the loans goes to the reconstruction of ukraine. not for the renewal of the energy infrastructure, but the lion's share settles precisely in the coffers of the state, the gold and currency reserves now despite the war on at a record high level, this is such a rear for the stability of the hryvnia, and i am sure that next year it will also hold firm against the dollar, natalko yevgeny, please, you also had a question, yes, but my question will not apply to this year, which is ending, ended 2023, or rather next year, if you recall the final press conference... of vodymyr zelenskyi, he answered the question about mobilization there, he gave this answer long and furiously, and the president said that the general staff offers or demands, i don't know which one a better word is to call up an additional 450-500 thousand men next year, i already

understand that, and the president also said that an additional 500 billion uah is needed to support these troops, but i have a question: will ukraine be able to find this money and how ? well, if the provision of the military, then in the plot i will once again emphasize that the provision of the military is the income of the ukrainian budget. revenues are mainly provided by taxpayers, entrepreneurs, you and i, because we are also employees, employees, we pay taxes to the state budget, and this is, of course, financial support for the military. if. that if we, or entrepreneurs, or other taxpayers, are removed from life, from the economy, and to make, for example, replenishment with this figure announced by the president of ukraine, then of course the tax payment will also decrease.

for several months, vasyl and i asked economic experts in our publications about whether it is possible to bleed the economy and, in fact , put everyone in the army. well, the expert answer is that this cannot be done, because there will be no specific money again, the budget will not be able to provide for the military, well, there is such a closed circle and such complicated mathematics, how will it actually be possible to implement these predictions of volodymyr zelensky, i cannot say yet, expert economists cannot say, well, but actually there are people who we chose those who, according to their qualifications , should answer such questions and consult. it is possible that a government of national unity will be created, specialists, professionals, political equidistant from each other will be involved, who may find certain solutions, or will be able to get in touch with colleagues from abroad, again to find these joint solutions, in any case, solutions must be found, we are in such a situation that we are actually in the middle of the ocean, we have to swim out, well, we have

the right to drown, it is really a closed circle here, vasyl, because the economy does not stand on military rails, so to speak, we have a market economy, we have a democratic economy, but this is what is expected in the future from the office of the president... and these are already challenges for the economy, which should work entirely on the military reikah, thank you oleksandr, moving on to another topic, i read a woman’s post yesterday, and here i won’t even blame, someone says: people want to live with some joys of life, this person is a friend of mine on facebook, she volunteers, well, quite actively lives the war and she says that this year i still decided to remember that there are holidays, to make a christmas tree, somehow, at least for a short time , to distract myself from what i have been working towards for two years. war, we don't even understand, probably until the end, what happened to us, what happened to us what is happening, where we are, what is with us, the most important thing, what, but this is life, a stable life is psychological, emotional, we still need to support it, art and communication are suitable for this, and various moments that, which many are deprived of, but which must be to look for, and now we will look at

the material from natalka didenko, how to find something other than the war, to help ourselves stand up and move on. the russians are waging a war of extermination not only with the ukrainian people, but also with our cultural assets, under random and targeted strikes, monuments of national importance, historical buildings, art objects, religious buildings, libraries, museums and nature reserves. the first year of the full-scale invasion - on february 27, the historical and local history museum in ivankov, together with the works of maria prymachenko, burns. on march 7, the slovo building in kharkiv comes under fire. on march 12, bombs fly at the svyatouspensk sviatohirsk lavra in donetsk region. on march 16 , a powerful bomb was dropped on the drama theater in mariupol. may 7 - a targeted attack

on the hryhoriy skovoroda museum in kharkiv region. the second year of the great war. on june 7, as a result of the explosion of the kakhovskaya gez, water destroys the polina raiko museum building in oleshki. sixth. in july , russian birds fly to the historic center of lviv, a unesco world heritage site. july 23. rockets hit the central altar of the transfiguration. cathedral in odessa, and these are only fragments of all the disasters that the russians committed. since the beginning of the large-scale aggression, they destroyed or destroyed more than 1,750 objects of cultural infrastructure. however, in spite of everything, and despite the threats, many ukrainians are very nervous they are trying to preserve the heritage of our people, to preserve the memory of outstanding compatriots, the memory of their achievements, the memory of our common history. so in july this year. 100 unknown works of the legendary artist maria pryimachenko were shown in the ukrainian house, her paintings became a symbol of

ukrainian indomitability. among fantastic creatures and flowers, the folk artist showed how good triumphs over evil. a museum of vasylkiv majolica, a somewhat forgotten but very defining milestone for ukrainian aesthetics and style. in april 22nd , such a ceramic rooster from a mutilated cabinet in dyantsi assured everyone that even in the midst of devastation it is possible to persevere. in december , the exhibition and educational project "eyes of flowers" began. the works of hanna sobachko shostak, the first ukrainian avant-garde artist, an artist who inspired ekster and malevich with her work, and who was not recognized as a full-fledged artist during the soviet era, are on display. there is someone to be proud of, someone to remember and respect in the country. and despite the genocidal war of the russian federation, we continue to protect

own here are the descendants of nomads, murderers, some strange, strange people, which is russia, destroying what the people who have always been on their land have, what do you feel when we watched these footage, and when you read these news, when you have been to these places, you know these places, you see the destruction, i feel so much such a strong pain, even these... places that i have not been to, well, i think, in general, for any conscious person, when a temple is destroyed, when there is a fire in the museum, when some sculpture breaks, when paintings burn, that's it echoes with such rejection that this simply cannot be, well, it shouldn't be like this, it seems to me, after all, it is so abnormal to human nature, although i say that a person... is also a destroyer at times, but just in our situation it is clear very clearly

who is the destroyer, and it seems to me that it is very telling in this regard that despite the fact that the war continues, and so far no one knows when it will end, and any destruction by the aggressor is responded to by our constructive , that is, museums are being revived, er, they save themselves, some repairs are made , and with some such... incredible efforts, and people cannot know whether, for example, as they say, a bomb does not fall into the same ravine twice, but, well , it happens, that's what gets into, so it seems to me that this whole situation with such their destruction just makes us stronger against their background, because we still create something, we are still constructive, and it seems to me that in the context of such, well not quite... well, for a cultured person, of course, it is very important to show and feel like a person, and

it seems to me that despite everything, ukrainians remain human, and this is the most important thing, not only there for culture, not only for any industry, economy, today we are talking about international politics, well , about everything, and what we it seems to me that today such a conclusion is very important, that we remained human, and this is very, very important, in general, in connection with this plot , i want to say. well, in advance, there may be some question, why i do not tell about the weather that was observed last year, but i would not like to turn it into some kind of a list of dry facts, the only thing i can say is that october was the hottest month in the entire history of meteorological observations, that is, after all, we are heating up, we are warming up, but i will not draw premature conclusions either, i do not like forecasts at all, despite that i have been doing them all my life. but still , it seems to me that uh, this is the prediction

of humanity, it must necessarily come true, and we show it, in connection with such a topic that i have chosen, i want to recall from many lists of incredible actions, cultural events that took place and will continue to take place, i want to tell you about one physical education teacher, who at one time was simply fascinated by vasylkivska ceramics, which, by the way, to great regret, well... almost destroyed, because the factory was not works, it was still long before the war, by the way, and he literally piece by piece collected this collection of incredible, incredible authors of ours, and he made a museum in an ordinary kyiv... school, and believe me, it is a museum of a very high level, there are fantastic collection, i was lucky , i got to know him, and they invited me to the opening of this museum, and i believe that we should also stand on such examples, because in front of us, of course, are the military, this is our main wall, and we are infinitely grateful to them , but we, those who remain with their backs,

well, anything can happen, so it is very important that the culture, to remain human, to be empaths... this is what we must do, and this is our contribution to the future victory. yes, indeed, here is the key point, so that the war does not win, yes, because, let's say, if we talk about russia, as the heir of the soviet union , it may have won, well, as one of those who won in the second world war, but the war won the soviet union itself, that is why he is constantly seeking war, the most important thing in this war is that peace wins and that the good that is in our hearts and to remain human, indeed, even after such terrible and difficult trials that we... go through and it is not known how much longer we will go through, so serhii has a question, serhii, please, well, i would like to ask paniko , what about the military meteorologists, i know you talk to them, what do they do, how do they forecast the weather and will there be an option this year that the dnipro will freeze in the area where the well is located and it will be much easier for our

marines to fight behind the enemy, about military meteorologists, thank you very much for the question , because everyone knows that... such meteorologists, and there are other wonderful related professions, such as, for example, aviation meteorologists, agrometeorologists, in our time the importance of military meteorologists has increased tremendously, well, i cannot reveal all their secrets, and i don't have them either i know, but it is clear that this is a very special direction and certain meteorological phenomena, for example, such as fog, such as wind speed, they acquire special importance and special, especially accurate forecasting, forecasting, the only thing i want to say is that of the military.. meteorologists are trained by only one university in our country, it is odesa, it used to be called the hydrometeorological institute, well, when i was still studying at the university, now it seems to be called the odesa environmental university , if i am not mistaken, well, it seems so, here they train military meteorologists , by the way, this is a very interesting specialty, because as i said, in addition to such general knowledge, well, meteorological, they also receive such a very specific, and always the most interesting,

professions seem to me to be always at the junction in some way, so adjacent, therefore , special attention should be paid to the military ... meteorologists, and i urge all schoolchildren, high school students who have not yet decided to pay attention to such a profession, despite the fact that now, for example, there is war, it is always necessarily one day will end, but this profession will always be important, please, please, thank you, i just want to remind my colleagues that natalka sings in our baroque choir, none of you have reached it except me, look, i reached it very recently. thank you, in sofia kyivska, first of all, all the concerts are in sofia kyivska, concerts are organized there, it is always just incredible, because there is such an atmosphere that makes even people who are not interested in music sit and just listen to it all, because it is fabulous, any location you don't take, on the street in the kindergarten, i was at this concert, all the participants have, i liked the necklaces,

they are called necklaces in the same style, in the same way, made by a craftswoman there, tell natalka, first of all, what kind of hoop it is. more baroque choir, and why is it for you, what does it give you, is it your hobby, what does it fill you with, well, this is actually the existence of this choir, this is one of the answers to the question that we were talking about, that vasyl asked about this, well, such psychological support and preservation of our, well, mental, psychological health and generally normal existence of us, well people who are not directly involved in the war, this is very important, because, well, we. wastelands should not be allowed, especially in culture, and this choir, this is an amateur choir, these are people of completely different professions, no one has a musical education, and he got together, and he performs complex, sometimes very baroque music, and we perform deletskyi's works there, many other composers, well, foreign western baroque, and it seems to me that this is so important, by the way, we recently had a concluding christmas concert, and then we

gathered for such a discussion, thanked one to one for the past year and practically... everyone said that this choir is so important to him that when, for example, there should be a rehearsal on saturday, family members do not move anyone from the choristers at all, because when someone says: i go to the choir, it's just holy, that is, it brings up a kind of systematicity and obligation and filling with beauty, and some kind of development, so it seems to me that the existence of amateur collectives, the development of such a culture, which goes, well, if... to say from below, this is one of the manifestations of formation and cementation of civil society, which we like to talk about so much, because such collectives, which are created not from above, not with... money, because we ourselves even pay for these rehearsals, and not someone pays us there, it seems to me , that it is very important, including for help, as they say, if you don't help yourself,

you should never rely on someone, first of all you should keep your back straight and think about the fact that you are your psychological health , you can do a lot with your inner peace to help the same military, well, that 's my opinion, please, natalochko, but i have such a question because... it is clear that when the kakhovka hydroelectric power station was built, over the years, these territories, which were located next to the reservoir, were changed its climate, the temperature changed , the temperature regimes changed, it was not so frosty and snowy winter, as it was before the construction of this hydroelectric power station, but after the enemy blew up the hydroelectric power station, which is now with the climate precisely in these territories of the kherson region, zaporizhzhia region, dnipropetrovsk region. will certain weather changes take place, will the winter be colder, or will there be droughts in the summer, how will this possibly affect

the agricultural sector, because this is an agricultural region? i think that the tragedy of what happened with the kokhov reservoir, of course, that it is a tragedy, first of all, because people died, it is primarily, eh, as for the environmental consequences, well, even the specialists are not ready yet talk about... well, like some irreversible or unbelievable dramatic consequences of this phenomenon, there is also such a very balance between such hurray, hurrah, that they say, oh, how wonderful it will be, it will be again, like the cossacks have a big meadow, a big meadow, a big meadow, yes, well, a big meadow can and will be , but the times were different, so at the expense of the impact on the climate, i wouldn't be in a hurry to say that it will somehow affect the climate, because in general, all these conversations, changes. climate, we know that there are very different opinions, and the majority, for example, believes that it was human activity that led to climate change, well, we climate understand, this is not the weather, this is a long-term

regime of meteorological conditions over a certain territory, so i, for example, adhere to the opinion that human inactivity can affect the climate, a person can harm, offend, obviously, and by the way, as with this example, that you mentioned, but it is in the global context, still my opinion, it is more such higher forces, i don't mean the higher forces that you thought about, but the penetrating activity, about the influence of the cosmos, because when did the changes take place climate for a long time in general, well, i don’t know millions of years ago, and man did not do anything bad like that at that time, so this is a question for experts and for specialists, in general, of course, this situation with the kakhovsky reservoir, i hope that after the victory... we will use this territory in a very positive way, thank you very much, ms. natalya, let's move on to culture, let's say, professional, or globally

speaking, to a factory that produces a cultural product, which is actually very important in wartime, well, probably the brightest, most in-demand cultural product at the moment is cinematography, let's look at the plot yelena chyushchenina, that's exactly what we're talking about, and then we'll discuss the beginning... the 23rd year was marked by several ukrainian hits at the box office. the films pamphyr and luxemburg-luxemburg have become the very films that are not only watched, but also heatedly discussed in social networks. and it seems that we have come a little closer to the search for a national film hero in cinema. at least the characters of both tapes managed to evoke sympathy from the audience. if he is.

the mass ukrainian film "i, you, he, she". at one time, just in the middle of the election campaign of a comedy with volodymyr zelensky in the lead role managed to collect 71 million uah at the domestic box office. or maybe i've accumulated 10 years of plates, yanochko. maybe you should go to the doctor and get your brain worked up, maksymochka. the court does not see valid reasons for divorce. collected more and began to surpass the success of even world hits from famous studios. back in october, the authors reported on uah 156 million

collected in ukraine alone. in foreign cinemas, and if we add the fees in other countries, then we have 20 million dollars. what prevented you? squirrels, butterflies, or maybe a forest evil? i am not a forest scoundrel, i am a magpie, the soul of the forest. ukrainian cinema also brought 31.5 million hryvnias to the state budget this year. well, what about his future, what about that? small problems during two years of full-scale war , it was practically not financed. next year, the state cinema plans to once again hold contests among cinematographers and is preparing to determine the themes of films, and they will probably start financing, or rather continue, tv series. well, i looked very briefly about cinema, what movie affected you the most, and did you say it was a great job?

it is ours this year, i would name two main films, this is pamfir, because it was long awaited, dmytro sukholitky sobchuk, we had such a great director who once made short films, they were very cool, everyone sat and waited, oh my god, what he will do with a full meter and he shot and it really turned out to be a move, well and the second, of course, is luxemburg luxemburg, because i really love the films of antonio lukic, i can say that now we have already reached a super mega victory in the cinema . what for the first time in 2023, we got a film , finally, which became the highest-grossing in the ukrainian box office, as they say ever, that is, mavka became the highest-grossing film in the ukrainian box office, in principle, of all films, that is, it became cooler than pixar films, than world hits , that is, it collected the most money than any other hollovian film in particular, that is, everyone did not believe at all that it was possible at all, but it happened, and the other... thing

is that our colleagues from another channel showed in christmas eve and new year's eve showed showed my thoughts are quiet again antony lukich, and it's just such a long way, when we walked and talked about the fact that we were constantly watching soviet comedies for the new year, and now we will already watch ukrainian films, thank god, in there are such films that could become new year's and christmas films. but in the end , i want to say that of course we are at the beginning of the war, i mean the year 2014, a huge advance in the cinema, it started with the fact that we went to the cinema, and well, ukrainian cinema, well, somehow, well, probably not let's go, then we will go to the ukrainian cinema to support him, then we went to the ukrainian cinema to support him and it turned out to be not bad, and now we already have hits, where they go, they discuss, simply because

it is for... a servant, everyone is talking about it , posting on social media, and the second thing i wanted to talk about is music, because music is definitely, definitely, which is the most important thing, because it is done quickly, it reacts very quickly to different events, and serhiy, you talked about the fact that there were excessive expectations before counteroffensive, and our show business got very involved in these processes, because our musicians, many musicians, began to pick up on all these conversations about... that we will have coffee already in august, get ready to drink, and that our musicians, those bodies announced their concert in yalta in 2000, well they are not yalta in august 2024, and these tickets are said to

sold out, and he's... criticized a lot for that, well, the band antibodies, they say no, it's normal, supports the fighting spirit, and a lot of musicians started speculating on this topic, started writing songs, again about how we we are imposing on the russians now, and in august we will also be preparing, preparing, lying on the beach, but unfortunately, it did not come true, and many people who had, some from the crimea, here are my acquaintances, some from the crimea, who succumbed to this moods, in particular, formed by musicians. to put it mildly, they were a little upset after our counteroffensive was not as magical as it was promised, but if we talk about positive things, first of all, we have a book boom, if you look at even kyiv, bookstores are opening, some bookstores are constantly opening, a lot of people comes, they take selfies, they make stories, it's all fashionable, i'll discuss it.
