used benefits guaranteed by the state, did not pay vat, and received reimbursement of this charge. within two years , 200 million hryvnias were transferred from the budget to the accounts of these dealers. let's listen to the direct speech. as a result of non-payment of taxes to the state budget, these persons have become richer by hundreds of millions of hryvnias. more than 20 searches were conducted at the places of residence of those involved, and documents were seized. cash and computer equipment. criminal proceedings have been opened under the second part of article 364, abuse of power or official position, which caused serious consequences, and the third part of article 209, legalization, laundering of property obtained by criminal means, committed by an organized group, or in a particularly large amount. well, then we move on to the social economy, to personal finances, provided by the law on the state budget for the current year.

increase in spending on housing subsidies, the government promises to pay them on time, deputy minister of social policy daryna marchak reported, and she reminded that all funds for social spending are now provided by international partners, will these funds be when they will be and whether there will be delays with the payment of pensions, with the payment of state benefits, in particular subsidies, we will discuss this with andriy pavlovsky, an expert on social policy. he joins the broadcast, good evening, i congratulate you and our viewers, mr. andriy, well, these are the horror stories that were heard on the eve of the new year from the officials, that there is a possible delay with the indexation of pensions, a possible delay with the payment of salaries to teachers, can they really happen reality, because so far concrete dates, specific amounts, tranches regarding funding from the european union. well, they don’t say it in the government

, well, first of all, it should be reminded that half of the state budget expenditures are planned at the expense of external and grant revenues, that is, everything that is collected in ukraine and goes to the state budget, it is spent primarily on defense and security . but it is precisely the second part of the budget, half of it, which is now formed at the expense of external receipts of foreign aid, the lion's share of it goes precisely to social programs, and therefore, if there is no promised help, aid of 62 billion dollars from the united states, 50 billion euros from... the european

union, problems may arise in ukraine with the payment of pensions, with the timely indexation of pensions from salaries, and also with with the same subsidies, because our partners forbid us to spend funds from foreign aid on armaments and defense, but as a rule, all these funds go, as i said, the lion's share of them to... on social welfare, mr. andriy, well, here are ways out, it's just waiting for money and delaying a series of payments social, is it possible to use the already accumulated gold and currency reserves, or just print the hryvnia, what proposals can there be, well, first of all, i would like to reassure, it is too early for us to worry very much, because at the end of december, ukraine received... another

money were transferred from the international monetary fund, from japan, the same aid was provided there in total more than 1. billion dollars, and for the first quarter for social expenses of this shortage, it is another matter that then the government, following the consequences of the first quarter, according to the budget code, the budget must be revised and, in case of shortage, threatened to spend money. the so-called sequester, cut spending, unfortunately, social programs can also fall under these cuts, well, to be honest, there is such a threat, in your opinion, how far is the state budget still able, well, if we do not talk about spending cuts , about the so-called sequester, to review social standards this year, we are also talking about the indexation of pensions, we are talking about...

also about the minimum, minimum salary, or it could just be on paper and ukrainians do not will wait for such positive changes. well, it depends, again, unfortunately, we are now in the conditions of a war, a severe economic crisis, we are dependent on foreign aid, and most people, and everything about all this, everyone knows this, and therefore it is necessary to get out of that situation, what is there, if there is no foreign aid, or it will be significantly reduced, well, we will have to tighten the belts already... in the literal sense of the word and cut spending on everything possible in the state budget, of course, it is not possible touch on defense issues, security, everything else the government can cut, find reserves, as they say, look at

some programs to support entrepreneurs, some other programs, maybe they will freeze programs for housing reconstruction, construction, and so on, capital. expenses, well, it is a question for the ministry of finance, what priorities will he determine and what will be the priority reductions. thank you, mr. andriy, for joining the conversation, social policy expert andriy pavlovsky was a guest of the column about money during the war. and i still have interesting information from analysts of the bloomberg agency. last year, russia approached the second year of record oil drilling. this is another proof of the low impact of western sanctions. say the analysts of this agency, the bloomberg agency, the boom in activity took place together with the recovery of both the volume and the value of the export of bloody barrels from the aggressor country. this is also clear evidence that fossil fuels were a key source of funds for the war against

ukraine. well, why do experts say that the sanctions are essentially ineffective or ineffective. here only 15% of the drilling market depends on technologies. from the so-called unfriendly states in russia, this is a small share, and some investors also left the russian market, but their subsidiaries remained, which continue to work and somehow continue to jointly extract oil in muscovy, well, yuri, how much do you think should be strengthened oil sanctions, there were ideas, there were ideas even at the beginning, that it is necessary to lower the marginal oil price much less, it is necessary to strengthen... sanctions against foreign companies that continue to invest in the russian economy? you know, oleksandr, what i will tell you, here the question is not even about strengthening sanctions, it is probably about compliance with the mechanism of monitoring the implementation of these sanctions, this is the most important thing, because sanctions can be sanctions, but we see a

lot of different moves that russia uses in order to bypass and sell, continue to sell oil and gas, not in the same volume as before, but still... dollars are supplied to its coffers, and if there is no punishment for partners of muscovites, then more and more foreign companies will see this and join economic cooperation with the kremlin, well, such from realities this was the last news from the world of money for today, i will say goodbye, but the big broadcast is going on, there will be more to come, stay tuned. well, i am ready to inform you of very important information that appeared just an hour ago, so the european union took the first step to allocate the promised 50 billion euros of aid to ukraine, and they did it, well, not bypassing hungary, but

at least hungary did not block this news was first reported by the german agency deutsche presse agenture dpa. as well as radio liberty journalist rikard jozvik, who is a permanent journalist in the european union, the european parliament, and later this information was confirmed in the council of the european union, and it is emphasized that the permanent representatives of the eu countries approved, this is again a partial negotiating mandate regarding the proposal to create a new, single specialized instrument to support the recovery of ukraine, ukraine facility, and he dis calculated for four years, because no matter what hungarian prime minister viktor orbán says there, no matter how he blackmails in brussels the leadership of the european union, they know what to do in this case, because they understand how important it is to continue supporting and helping ukraine in our struggle

with russia. yes, and now is the time to learn about the achievements of ukrainian athletes during the war, in particular. during the past day, our sports columnist yevhen pastukhov will tell us about it. marto kostiuk reached the quarterfinals of the wta tournament in adelaide. the ukrainian tennis player beat the american taylor townsend in three games. in the first set, kostyuk won 6:3. second martha lost 2:6. the opponents played the decisive game of the third set with a score of 5:4 in favor of kostyuk. the ukrainian won six break points at once and took advantage of her fourth match point. kostyuk will play in the wta quarterfinals for the first time since last august. when i got it. at this stage at the competition in washington, the opponent of the ukrainian woman will be the latvian yelena ostapenko. the first winter transfer

of kryvbas. the current leader of the ukrainian football championship announced the transfer of midfielder yehor tverdokhlib, who previously played for minai. the agreement is designed for four years. in the football player will play under number 47 for the new team. in the first part of the season, tverdokhliv took part in 15 matches of the ukrainian premier league and scored two goals. it is very big. range to be in this team, i hope, i will justify the hopes and we will prove ourselves on the football field and achieve positive results. kryvbas will work at the club base until january 13, after which he will go to alicante for training. the club has planned 10 sparring matches in spain. poltava vorskla thanked vladlen yurchenko for his cooperation. the club and the player decided ahead of time terminate the agreement. it is reported that the 29-year-old performer will continue his career in metallist 1925 under the leadership of the ex-mentor of the vorsk residents

viktor skrypnyk. yurchenko is a pupil of mykolaiv football, played for shakhtar, german bayer, zorya, densa, as well as the danish team vaile and the latvian riza. the colors of vorskli have been protected since september 2022. in the current season, yurchenko played 14 matches for poltava in all competitions, scored twice and had one assist. the women's biathlon team of ukraine took fifth place in the relay world cup in ruhpolding. at the first stage , ukrainian women were in the lead, but then our biathletes began to lose ground. at the final stage, khrystyna dmytrenko improved the team result from sixth to fifth place. this is ukraine's best result since december 21st in women's relays. the winner of the race was the french national team. well , our big broadcast would be and ultimately will be incomplete without information

repulse an enemy attack and destroy equipment in the zaporozhye direction. occupiers burn like matches. this video was released by melitopol mayor ivan fedorov. let's see.

friends, for those who are currently watching us on youtube and facebook, please like this video and also subscribe to our pages on these platforms. in addition, throughout this program we conduct a survey, today we ask you about the following. will north korea go to war on south korea what do you think dear viewers please on youtube vote yes no or leave your comment under this video. if you are watching us on tv, pick up your phone or smartphone and vote. if you think that north korea will go to war against south korea (0800-211-381), no (0800-211-382). all calls to these numbers are free. vote, at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote. we are in touch with a politician, diplomat, extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine to the united states of america in

2015-19. years valery chaly. mr. valery, i welcome you and thank you for joining us ether i congratulate you. glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. let's start, mr. valery, our conversation with zelenskyi's baltic tour. today he arrived in lithuania on an unannounced visit and met with the country's president gitanas nauseda and other leaders of the country from what has already been heard from... conversations and what zelensky said: putin will not end the war until we all end it together, zelensky said. and putin will not stop until he destroys ukraine, if ukraine does not defeat russia, then they may be next lithuania, latvia, estonia, moldova. ukraine managed to repulse 70% of russian strikes before and during the new year holidays, but more modern air defense systems are needed, zelenskyi said. and in january

, ammunition and generators will be delivered to ukraine, says zelensky. in addition, zelenskyi and nauseda agreed on the joint production of weapons. let's hear what zelensky said about this cooperation. yes, we are all unlucky to have such a neighbor, inadequate. to us and lithuania, which brings misery and enslavement, but we will never again become hostages of geography and let's allow russia to destroy neither our nor your statehood, because together we unite others in order to have a sufficiently common force. there are more agreements signed today between the ukrainian and lithuanian defense industries. an example of our

close military cooperation. we must also ensure continuity of long-term support from allies and partners to help ukraine. the european defense industry as a whole must step up its game, speed up and adequately respond to the complex security situation. mr. valery, the baltic countries, as no one understands ukraine and... the situation that is developing in the war with the russian federation, because they know what the soviet occupation is, but this is the call that sounded from the mouth of zelensky that putin will not end the war, a statement, or rather, until we all together let's finish, it was addressed not only to the baltic countries, but also to the whole world. do you think this call will be heard in the world? you are absolutely right that

the countries... the baltics, they not only have an understanding of what the soviet union is or the period of stalin, who, by the way, is already a representative of russia in the un security council, we are served, as comrade stalin said, that is, they perfectly understand where russia is going, and besides, it was rightly said by the president of ukraine that all these countries border russia, but it would seem... that we are talking about estonia and latvia , but in fact lithuania also borders the kaliningrad region, that is, the russian region, so it turns out that they have a direct land border, that is, they are very worried now that russia, and this is already specifically put into their doctrine, that russia will attack to these countries. i'm more i will say that in 2013-14 in russia.

plans were being developed for a ground attack on one of the nato countries, namely the baltic countries, well , as far as i know, then it was more about estonia, and only the situation with weakness in ukraine, in crimea, control was lost for a while of the central government yanukovych then coincided , exactly, well, if russia was encouraged by hopes on the territory of ukraine, that is why they understand perfectly well that they, even with... the unfinished aggressive war of russia against ukraine, can be the territory of invasion, that is, it is obvious, and therefore they consider it in a completely different way war, than it is considered, let's say in spain, there in italy, which are further away, and as for whether it will be heard in these capitals, the capitals of nato, it already depends on the work.
