the united states together with the international monetary fund, because they want, and we see this today, it is obvious, these people have already given us more than 100 billion dollars of aid, but they want us not to bend, so that we do not die like ukraine, they they want us to develop and build our well-being , they want us to simply become part of the civilized world, their world, part of the european community and live in the same way as the european union, great britain, the united states, japan... and australia live , that's why we we just need to do everything they want from us, everything they ask us and say: please, you don't need to invent nonsense and say that ukrainians are somehow different from south koreans, or different from australians, or different from americans, we are the same, and we have the same successes, and all our inspirations and the same diseases, and we just need to be treated from these diseases with inspiration... work for the development and

well-being of our country. thank you very much for joining, thank you for your expertise comments konstantin dzhevago , an entrepreneur and philanthropist, was in touch with us. and now , yuriy fizer will tell in detail about the main events that happened outside of ukraine. the white house administration supports the adoption of a law that would allow ukraine to transfer frozen russian assets worth $300 billion. journalists of the bloomberg agency reported this with reference to their own sources and documents of the us national security council. according to the information released, such a law would allow the us government to initially legally confiscate frozen russian assets, and then just as legally transfer them to ukraine. at the same time, the white house intends to coordinate this bill with its european allies and partners. estonia.

opposes the ban on giving ukraine weapons that are necessary for shelling military targets on the territory of russia. president of the country alar karis said this during a meeting with volodymyr zelenskyi in tallinn. according to him, by shelling russian territory, the defense forces of ukraine can slow down or weaken their forces the enemy or to protect the ukrainian people. and that's why, says the estonian leader, there are no restrictions on the west's supply of weapons that ukraine needs for self-defense. can not be. the defense-industrial complex of the member states of the european union intends to produce one million projectiles for ukraine each year. but it is unlikely that he will be able to hand over as much ammunition to the defense forces by march 1 as previously planned. european commission representatives johanna berntzel and peter said this during the press conference i will be at the same time, mr. stano emphasized that the promise to supply ukraine with 1 million ammunitions was political. countries,

members of the european union did everything they could for this, supplying the defense forces with 300,000 shells. turkey, bulgaria and romania agreed on a joint fight against sea mines in the black sea. accordingly , the representatives of the defense departments of these three countries signed the agreement today in istanbul. they emphasized that mines pose a threat to shipping and to track and clear them more effectively. closer coordination is needed. the governments of turkey, bulgaria and romania. at the same time , the ministers emphasized that other countries may join the newly created tripartite group in the future. hungary will not link the cancellation of the veto on the allocation of macro-financial assistance to ukraine in the amount of 50 billion euros from the budget of the european union with the unfreezing of financial assistance to budapest. this was stated by the minister of foreign affairs of the country, peter sijarto, during the press conference. according to him. the european commission does not

the right to delay the allocation of these funds, and therefore the hungarian government expects to receive them in any case, regardless of the position of the moon or mars in ukraine. china and russia should strengthen strategic communication and cooperation in issues related to the future of humanity and the whole world. chinese foreign minister vaani said this during a telephone conversation with the head of the russian foreign ministry , sergei lavrov. both countries, he. called the big powers responsible and at the same time added that beijing is convinced that that russia will be able to successfully implement its important domestic political agenda, maintain state stability and development.

every day, every hour, every minute we receive a large amount of information. the most awaited. action of the year, what is actually happening at the front, what are the losses of personnel and equipment on the battlefield, how does the international community evaluate our successes, and what is moscow lying about? from the flow of news coming from all over the world, we single out the most important ones. the world is closely

watching whether there will be weapons for ukraine and what kind, and what the russian occupiers are whispering about outside behind the commanders. news, summaries of the week - this is an overview of only important events, events. dear ones, this is analytics, fact-checking, expert comments, about this and much more in today 's issue, about important things, in simple language, available to all viewers, congratulations, in the studio of iryna koval, and this is the summary of the week on the espresso tv channel. news, summaries of the week, every saturday at 21:00 on espresso. good evening, we are from ukraine. let's return to the conversation, now about money. what oleksandr morshevka will tell, money during the war. please, alexander, good evening. i greet the audience. thank you vasyl, in the next few minutes i will talk about what debts can turn off the lights, as well as about the grain corridor and you will find out why the frozen russian assets are not working for the benefit of our state. wait, that's all in a moment. i am

oleksandr morshchevka. greetings, this is a column about money during the war. i'll start with the energy sector, which suffers from enemy attacks every day, said the minister of energy of ukraine herman galushchenko. the threat of mass attacks, unfortunately, has not disappeared anywhere, - adds the government official. now difficulties were also increased due to difficult weather conditions. that is why the efficiency and speed of network restoration is important, the system is now working stably, the issue of strengthening the air defense system remains relevant for the industry, herman galushchenko added. well, now there is hot news, in fact, in the literal sense, that the first thing they plan to do is turn off the lights for the largest debts that have accumulated over a long period of time, we are talking about turning off the lights for debtors who do not pay for their utility bills, about

this during the broadcast of the national marathon serhiy kovalenko, the director of the electricity supplier yasno, said, and he announced. that the first blackouts to debtors will begin somewhere on january 29, the head of the company says, that they will warn, send messages, call, but this is the decision we have as of now. vasyl, we just discussed with you that the government canceled the ban on imposing fines, various fines, turning off the lights, it was in effect until the end of the year, but we have such a first story since 2024 that... debts will be turned off well, the only positive thing here is that it will still be reviewed for a long period, not that the person did not pay there for six months or a year, if the person was a persistent non-payer for a long time, well, then surely god himself wanted, as they say, a little bring a person to his senses if he can pay, again, the question is if he can, but i am sure that

suppliers will not ask if he can or cannot, either you pay, or we turn off the light, well , such is the market vasyl, even during war, and ukraine plans to transform the customs office into an eastern customs office. of the european union. the corresponding plans are fixed in the national income strategy developed by the government, the ministry of finance reported. the reform includes a series of initiatives aimed at improving our customs system and includes the transition to the implementation of customs formalities in accordance with european union standards. in particular, one of the key elements is the introduction of the new customs code. it will be based on the eu customs code, and they will also work on... strengthening the legal field in the field of regulation of this industry, well, that's it initiative of the cabinet of ministers, the ukrainian grain corridor has reached its pre-war capacity, dmytro pletenchuk, the spokesman for the naval forces of the armed forces of ukraine, announced this.

more than 500 ships have already passed through the black sea and transported more than 10 million tons of cargo. the vast majority of goods are grains that cover the needs of southern countries. let me remind you that it is in the middle. in july 2022, russia withdrew from the grain agreement, ukraine opened temporary corridors for the passage of ships, and we can see this grain corridor, it does work. well, we will continue to talk about the initiative that appeared in the administration of the president of the united states , joe biden. he will support a bill that would allow the seizure of some of the $300 billion in frozen russian assets. then the funds should be given to our state. well , the bloomberg agency wrote about it. biden's support for the move came after congressional republicans blocked an appropriation of more than $60 billion, partly due to concerns that washington was carrying too much of a financial burden,

bloomberg analysts say, the administration the us president also wants to coordinate this step with the g7 allies, especially in europe, where about 200 billion dollars of frozen erefia assets are stored, but it is in europe that, according to the us, less support the seizure of the country's finances. not aggressors, we will talk about this in detail with ivan us, candidate of economic sciences, he joins our conversation, good evening, good evening, mr. alexander, i greet all tv viewers, mr. ivan, here i am, when for the first time at the beginning of 2022- th in the first months of the great invasion heard the initiative that the assets of the russians are frozen, there is talk of 300 billion and will be transferred to the benefit of ukraine, and we see the second year of the war, and they all... must be transferred, they are only frozen, why yes, it is necessary to create a certain legal

the implication, to create a legal legal basis for this, or is it just, well, certain political games, here we have frozen, but we will monitor from the eu side, from the us side, who will win, and then we will decide, no, i would not say who will win, and in fact, here is this year 2024, it started with a very good article by the nobel laureate in economics. mr. joseph joseph stiglis at the syndicat project, where he quite often writes his articles, and this very article is devoted to the fate of these 300, and according to other calculations, 340 billion dollars, these are sovereign russian assets, mainly of the russian central bank, and here he actually is explains why this is such a slow decision on them, because both the united states of america and the european union... they are all very worried that the step by which these assets

will be transferred to ukraine will mean that the united states and europe is not a reliable place to keep your money, that is, it will give a signal to other countries that it is better not to get money in the usa or in the eu, and the actual fear that this trust will be undermined affects decision-makers in the usa, that in the eu, that's exactly why... back in 2022, the central bank of the european union said that this was a dangerous step. mr. ivan, of course, step a has been taken, the assets have been frozen, but now, well, it seems to me that there are more fears mainly in the european union than in the states, well , step b must also be taken. how can this be done? to do really, so as not to scare customers who keep their assets in the european union and at the same time fulfill the promises. provide finances for the needs of our state. in fact, in this article jeff stiglitz, he just writes that

this is a completely wrong approach to the matter, that he, as mr. stiglitz writes, you actually say in the governments of all countries of the world that you can break laws, you can create lawlessness, but hold on money in the us or in the eu. and so he says: we must move away from this model, we must say that if you violate laws then your assets will be taken away if you don't like the us and is then keep them elsewhere but in the same article he writes that look why everyone keeps their money in either the us or the eu because if you take a basic look at the currencies in which settlements are made in the world, on average it is 43% us dollar, 32% euro, i.e. 75%, 3/4 of all substantive settlements, or the currency of the united states of america, or the currency of the european union, and other options - this is far from yuan, it is either... the japanese yen or the english background sterling or the swiss franc, that is

, countries that are either part of the g7, if we're talking about japan, the uk, or switzerland, which is close to, let's say, the countries of europe , that is, countries that make up the same collective measure, so actually, he says , there are no particular alternatives to europe and the usa, and if there are no such alternatives, then nothing threatens what will happen in... trust to the usa or the eu in the event of such a step, at the same time, as he writes, politically, if this step is not taken, it will be almost a crime, because you will show that for... for you, the main thing is money, huh not the principles that you want to implement and on which the usa and the european union are actually built. i will briefly quote, firstly, that the international monetary fund assesses the possible impact of the confiscation of wealthy assets of the russian federation, that it may affect the balance of power in the world economy in one way or another, and it says that any decisions should be made at the level

of each country separately, well, it will be a very long time, if it will be like that, and what, and what could be the impact, well, 300 billion is 300 three times. please, of course, mr. vasyl, that is, in fact a drop in the sea, if we are talking about these 300 billion for the global economy, then take the situation in the babelmandam strait, due to which the soviet canal does not function, and as we remember, since the time when the container got stuck there, one day of downtime of the soviet canal - this is a loss of 400 million dollars, it is only one day, if you multiply it by 10 days, you already have 4 billion, yes, that is, we understand that 300 million billion, well, not such a critical amount, but less, there are indeed fears that it may have an effect, but again, it is necessary to leave from this approach, that the main thing is money, not

principles, here i am, who will quote boris johnson at that time, the prime minister of great britain, who is still at the beginning. of a full-scale war, said that the european union should be determined by money or by principles, and actually similar statements by the imf, in my opinion, they should also revise their rhetoric and say that you know, after all, the imf and other structures were created, by the way, after the end of the second world war, everything that was there in bretenburg was created, and they all should first of all take care of not well-being, and that there would be no further wars and that there would be... the principle of punishing the country that pushes the world to the next world war, and we see that russia is actually doing this. thank you. thank you, ivan us was in touch, candidate of economic sciences. excellent, in my opinion, analysis, we journalists can only follow the course of this story, and which of the countries or associations will dare to transfer money and assets of russia in our state for the first time.

i will conclude the column with this, but a big broadcast is going on, there will be more to come. see us. we have cultural news. ukrainian culture is again in danger, community representatives are actively talking about it now. the fact is that the elections to the supervisory board of the ukrainian cultural foundation are currently underway, the previous composition of which was at least dubious, in the opinion of some even scandalous. what is the matter and what dangers are our artists talking about, the art viewer will tell. lina chechenina. alena, good evening, please tell me. vasyl, congratulations, greetings to our viewers. well, the whole thing is partly in the service of the people. and i'm not about party or faction, i'm talking about a tv series. i'll tell you why in a second. first, let me

tell you about something good, even something very good, because. and today the film la palisade by philip sotnichenko was released, and i, and i think that almost all ukrainian cinematographers and people related to ukrainian cinema, will join this call, please go to this film, it is definitely a film that will go down in the history of ukrainian cinema, this film is complex, but interesting at the same time, it has an extremely original film language, because philip setniuche... this is his first full-length feature film, he already in his short film, which is called, gave hopes and hopes not just for talented something in the future, but i am not afraid of the word genius, and philip setnichenko definitely has every chance to become by a ukrainian, well, a very, very prominent director of auteur

cinema, this film has certainly already received awards at international film festivals, and it tells about... the death penalty, about the abolition of the death penalty, i won't tell you about the plot, i'll just say , what is there really, read a few reviews before watching this movie, the film critics will explain to you what is the meaning, what is the talent, now let's watch an excerpt, a turtle, a turtle was sitting in the water, washing its legs, walking. they called out , ala ala, the turtle, aha, they scared, ala a , well, and a little bit of good, kateryn deneu voiced poems... lyubov yakymchuk from her famous collection apricots of donbass, in general, this collection of lyubov was published last year in france by the leus edition publishing house de fm i'm sorry

dear french people, who may be watching us, and this collection, it was sold, and now, as lyubov yakymchuk writes on her facebook page, the french can buy this collection already voiced by catherine and the most beloved one , well, no. .. in any bookstore, in bookstores in france and on any french online platform. this is extremely cool. katrynav, we can remember in principle, for such consistent support of ukraine. she read a poem by lesya ukrainka at the cannes film festival, then she read another poem, and here it is already on the air one of the tv channels. if there is a passage, if we can listen to catherine and love reading the poems, we can listen to it. if we have

i am reading, and now, friends, shock content, again a scandal in the ukrainian cultural fund, or rather, there may be a scandal, everyone is preparing, because now the voting for a new supervisory board is underway, the supervisory board in the ukrainian cultural fund is deciding two such important issues, she first appoints, votes for the head or for the head of the ukrainian cultural fund, as well as approves grants there already... which have a sufficiently high cost, a large amount, what was wrong with the previous supervisory board, in general, what was wrong with the ukrainian cultural fund, now, if you remember,

a few years ago, when i was in charge this foundation of yulia fediv, it was one of the most dynamic ukrainian institutions in general, not only cultural, it is an institution that was created literally, i forgot exactly in what year, during the tenure of petro poroshenko, in one word, and ah... then this foundation , it was founded in order to focus on our ukrainian artists to distribute grants for various cool projects, and a lot of our musicians, actors, writers did various projects with the financing of the ukrainian cultural fund, but then yulia fediv, yulia fediv left this fund, elected a new supervisory board, and in the end, since that time already over the last few years, and not only that. the supervisory board , in general, the activity of the ukrainian cultural fund is more like a kind of stagnation, and now, finally, our cultural community has a chance to re-elect the supervisory board again, and we

i'll just say why the last supervisory board was scandalous, for example, there was oleksiy kiryushchenko, whom i often talk about on our broadcasts, he is the director of the servant of the people series, and he has a russian passport. he wanted to be the head of the state cinema, but he failed, because there you need ukrainian citizenship, and because of him, in principle , the competition for the position of the head of the state cinema was hacked , then others voted, and then oleksiy made his way to other institutions, to the dim channel and now to the supervisory board, why is he there, by the way, he is the one with oleksandr tkachenko decided which projects and serials would win the scandalous summer serial contest from the ministry of culture, well, now... and there are a lot of candidates, now, when they vote for this, the supervisory board, the public association the institute of legislative ideas analyzed that

in fact some fifty people who will vote for these candidates are related to another member of the ukrainian supervisory board of the ukrainian football federation , oleksandr suslenskyi, and it is clear who they can vote for, so the cultural community... urges to monitor this process, for example, wants to be in the supervisory board bohdan logvinenko, our colleague , journalist and head of ukrainer, is now on the council, and the cultural community is calling to vote, for example, for him, but let's see how this whole process will end and whether there will be scandalous members in this new supervisory board of the ukf, i think that without we won't be without adventures, because that's what it is... such is our life, but we'll keep an eye on it, i'll definitely keep you informed, stay with espresso. next is the weather from natalka didenko,

let's listen and watch. synoptic hello to all, our dear viewers. before we let's talk about the weather that is expected in the coming days, let's talk about forecasts in general. very often, such questions arise as to how accurate the forecasts are, how long it is possible to predict the weather for what period, and therefore i immediately want to. to say that long-term weather forecasts are not those forecasts that you can blindly trust and, well , take them too seriously, that is , you can take them seriously, of course, but this is mainly for those people who actually seriously deal with them, their development, and that's all - still in terms of consumption of the direct weather forecast, i would recommended, well, first of all, to trust exclusively professional weather forecasts, and as a rule it is

for a day, for three days, it is the most accurate. forecasts and despite all the skepticism and frequent mockery of forecasters, i want to say that according to statistics, which are relentless and objectively dry, for example, the accuracy of forecasts for a day in kyiv and the kyiv region reaches 90%, agree that this is very, very not bad, the trend of the weather forecast for 5-7 days also has the right to such a free life, and son... apothecaries often recommend such forecasts, but of course their probability decreases, so i will repeat once again, the most likely forecasts, the highest quality, so to speak, are for a day, for three days, everything further is under a big question, and of course it is unnecessary to remind you that i will repeat myself again, it is worth trusting only to professional forecasters , professional meteorologists, it is no secret that a lot has developed now, especially in

social networks, unscrupulous people to say the least, so we will move on to our favorite sub-heading magnetic storms, and we will talk about tomorrow's weather a little later, of course, magnetic storms, a mostly calm situation with minor fluctuations is expected, it has been going on for such a long time, so we will not delay and move on to the weather forecast for the next day on january 12, precipitation in the western regions of ukraine. it is not expected, the maximum air temperature during the day will be -3-9°, i.e. it will start to cool down again tomorrow , it will also be cold in the northern part of ukraine , at night somewhere up to 15° frost, during the day -6-12, precipitation is unlikely, because we will already be behind the atmospheric front. in the east of ukraine also without precipitation and also frosty, cold, -10-12°. in the central part of ukraine.

precipitation is not expected, cold frosty weather is also expected, the air temperature is expected to be between 5 and 10° of frost, it will also be colder in the southern part of ukraine , not as usual as, for example, in the north, but nevertheless, it will be frosty at night and during the day 0 , -3°, more sleet and snow will fall here at night, precipitation will stop during the day and in the south, no precipitation is predicted in kyiv in the next day, january 12. cooling is expected, the minimum air temperature is close 10-12°, during the day the air temperature is expected to be within 6-8° of frost. in the coming days , on january 13-14, the cold weather will persist in ukraine, the nearest warming is expected in ukraine, in most regions, from january 15.
