hosts, who have become like relatives to many, as well as distinguished guests of the studio, the events of the day in two hours, vasyl zima's big broadcast, a project for smart and caring people, in the evening at espresso. i'm here temporarily, i'll be back home soon. "live now where you are, and in the meantime , the verkhovna rada of ukraine summoned the head of the security service of ukraine, general vasyl malyuk, for a report on the surveillance of journalists of the bigus-info project, people's deputy of ukraine yaroslav zheleznyak reported this, quoting the people's deputy . chairman's speech after the speech heads

yurchyshyn's committee on freedom of speech regarding the wiretapping of bigus, after that i put to a vote the question of summoning the head of the sbu to the council for a report on this issue by 159 votes, the decision was adopted, we are waiting for the report in the hall. well, the story goes on and on, a big, big, huge scandal involving wiretapping and surveillance of ukrainian journalists. of course, this matter should be taken seriously. control is also about our people's deputies and, in general, about public activists, if we have them as such in an active, in an active format, yes , i must note that there is already an official version and an official comment, which appeared literally a few minutes later on the official pages of the sbu, and actually the head of the sbu malyuk , who was summoned to the parliament, stated who will do everything possible so that every service can work freely in ukraine, according to him... the actions of individual

security service employees cannot erase all the positive results that the sbu has during the war and cast a shadow on every representative of the service. today we do not just build updated sbu, and we protect democratic values, including freedom of speech and independence of the media. for me personally, this is a top priority from now on, - added malyuk and also reminded that, according to his submission, the president has already fired the head of the department for the protection of the nation-state, who was monitoring biguz-info journalists. well, we will actively monitor this situation. now let's move on to the analysis of kharkiv oblast. oleksandr skoryk, deputy of the kharkiv regional council. glory to ukraine, mr. oleksandr. glory to the heroes, have a good day. well, russia will continue to shell and terrorize kharkiv oblast, right? the body of a two-month-old baby was found under the rubble of a hotel in kharkiv zolochiv. so? well, i emphasize that this is zolochiv in kharkiv oblast, because there is also zolochiv from lviv. we would like to.

to ask you in general about the nature of these recent shellings, they had an air alert at night, at 2:20 a.m. rockets were supposed to be fired from the belgorod region, we visually control them, we see, our telegram channels immediately report that rockets flew in the direction of kharkiv, zolochiv, this village is located in the bogoduhiv district. 60 km from belgorod, two c300 rockets flew over the hotel, in the very center of the city, practically there is a market square, this is the very central place that is in zolochiv, where there is a bazaar nearby, there is a shopping area, all shops, and there was a three-story hotel, where, unfortunately, a two-month-old baby died, and his mother is 21 years old , is... it is now in the hospital in a serious

condition, and two more women are hospitalized with broken limbs, they are currently being treated, the rubble is still going on in this place, because damage very large, the exact hit in the hotel, the hotel is completely destroyed, unfortunately , there will be no way to restore it, and about 30 premises around... are also destroyed, and our rescue service is still there, plus many local residents have come, in order to restore order in their city, and also many others had rocket attacks on the village, the village of glushkivka, kupyan district, where the farm was struck and burned down. a

farm tractor was on fire, what can you say in addition to the fact that this is another act of terrorism that has been carried out. it's 2:20 a.m. at night - that's right, taking into account the fact that people must already be asleep, and the terrible story that , unfortunately, the baby was pulled out from under the rubble, of course, you know, it leaves a mark in everyone's heart, and i will tell you that it is very difficult, now every, every night, there are at least two or three air alarms, howling, we see it all visually... we see it, then the aircraft fly out, then they shoot guided bombs in the kupyan region on the front line, then they shoot in the city of vovchansk, in the city, in the village of kazacha lopan, the entire border area, there is the village of lyptsiv, all the border areas are being shelled, you know,

the situation is very, very tense in kharkiv and in the kharkiv region, and psychologically it is very difficult to bear it. mr. oleksandr, we would like to clarify with you about the cossack lopana. we know that the shelling of this settlement lasted for about an hour and a half, are there any wounded or dead people as a result of the strikes? i, unfortunately, do not have accurate information about the cossack lopan, but the fact that the border area is constantly shelled from absolutely all types of weapons, absolutely from all types of weapons, this and mortar shelling, this is mlrs, this is artillery. er, these are both guided aerial bombs and high-explosive aerial bombs, and now russian combat helicopters have become more frequent, they are also constantly on combat combat duty, constantly striking our territory,

practically the entire border line, this is not only the village of kozacha lopen, practically the entire our border line is now under fire constantly, constantly... this population is called, it is simply impossible to live there in these settlements, well , it is practically impossible, in the neighboring regions in we already have information that in the sumy and chernihiv regions they simply hunt for local residents, fividrons and simply kill them in this way, not giving them the opportunity to live in this area, the same, i think, will be the case with kharkiv region , for now, there is no such thing yet, but i think that we will have such a practice, so it is very difficult to live on the border, mr. oleksandr, i wanted to clarify with you, after the incident with il 76, the russians began to use aviation less, right? has

the situation changed significantly? il-76 is not for aviation had an effect, one thing that was definitely noticeable was that after the beating much less was the use of the s-300, because most likely , after all, i believe that there were still not military prisoners in the villa, as they say there, i think that these were missile complexes after all, because very sharply after that , they stopped pouring s-300s specifically in the kharkiv region, this indicates that they simply did not exist, now they have resumed again, but they have resumed less intensively. take-offs of combat aircraft, they are on the collision line, especially this in the kupin district, it concerns, they are constant, and there are statistics that, for example , in one week, 600 aerial bombs were dropped on the kupin region, so you understand what

the level of sorties is and what the level of destruction is for this territory, aviation flies constantly, constantly in alarm, the kharkiv region has a differential, and yes... they didn’t do it to turn it off in the districts, until now, when the aircraft take off, the air alarm works throughout the region and in the city, mr. oleksandr, when, when you mentioned the shelling , as well as border settlements kharkiv oblast, roughly how deep the damage is, how far the enemy hits, today we don't have, but... deep shelling, such as they were before during the occupation, because when there was occupation, they came close enough to kharkiv , to beat the artillery. today, if we have shelling along kharkiv, in the city, it is at least

s300 missiles or air, cruise missiles, if it is the border area, then it is about 20-25 km, the border area, it is artillery shelling, shelling. kabama, fabam and shelling on short areas, on short areas mortar shelling, 8-10 km, so the maximum is 20 to 25 km. this is the distance where the artillery hits, then the shelling, only the s-300 and cruise missiles fire. finally, mr. oleksandr, i wanted to clarify the dynamics of the construction of fortifications in the kharkiv region, i don’t know, you and i talked about it for 10 days, do you feel any progress regarding the allocation of regional and state funds, well, and further down the list, tractors, equipment, people, fortifications. in kharkiv, in the kharkiv region, they have been under construction for a very long time, literally after the deoccupation, we started right away, right away

during the occupation , fortifications were and were being built, and therefore the dynamics are constantly progressive, we deal with this issue globally, and i think that ours, our region is one of the most protected from the point of view of fortification, compared to other regions, so... therefore, this issue is very, very secret, the population must understand that fortifications are built, they are built by engineering, correctly, in compliance with the technical conditions dictated by us today, so everything is in order with this issue, we are doing it dynamically here, thank you to you sir oleksandr, oleksandr skoryk, deputy of the kharkiv regional council was in touch with us and told us about. in the kharkiv region and in the city, the regional center, in particular. now we will take a short break, after which

of ukraine, eneble my ukraine. well, the information day of the tv channel continues. there are a lot of express events today, so we will try to inform you a little while we are here journalists are preparing their important release, but an important signal from the president of the european commission , ursula funderlein, she believes that ukraine will soon be a member of the european union, she stated this during a speech in the european parliament, i quote ursula funderlein. the contrast with the situation in ukraine just 10 years ago could not be more striking then about... the russian regime, well we are talking about yanukovych, passed authoritarian laws and killed protesters in the streets, today the country is passing new legislation that expands the rights of national minorities, improves the judicial system and provides a system of checks and balances of power, well, here mrs. funderlajen, so to speak, is making wishes come true, well, but this is exactly what led us to the start of accession negotiations, this progress

is not only happening because europe demands it, it the deep desire of the people of ukraine, ukraine is europe, because europe is in... the minds of ukrainians, and soon ukraine will also be in our union, an extremely strong signal, well, let's wait, we'll see, and , by the way, as it were wanted to add that ursula fondeliaen also announced the good news that the european union aims to provide us with the first tranche of aid in march, i.e. next month, and this refers to the payment within the agreed ukraine facility program for 50 billion euros, which was recently approved for... and says ursula fonderlein that europe is true to its word and will continue to provide much-needed funding and provide predictability for our brave partner, meaning ukraine, which is seeking membership and we aim to start payments in march. well, very cool, we are now bringing oleksandr bondarenko, managing partner of the economist's investment programs bureau, on our air. glory

to ukraine, mr. oleksandr, congratulations. glory to the heroes, congratulations, colleagues. well, the alarm clock. national bank of ukraine, so they plan to reduce restrictions on currency, right? well, this means that, in principle, the situation with our economy has stabilized, we are already living in anticipation of receipts from the european union, how in general this story can be resolved, as far as we have everything has improved, or did we take these steps prematurely, and in general, what will be the thresholds in your opinion? colleagues i would not be so optimistic that everything is improving, because, well , first of all, we just received confirmation that there will be 12.5 billion euros from the european union this year, and this is not enough with a state budget deficit of 40 billion dollars, so the main thing is the american support from

the congress and the senate, when they agree on the package, i just got back to washington, so... well, the real scenario is what we can get it will be sometime at the end of spring, and it will be a miracle if in february, at the beginning of march, we will receive 12-13 billion in money, financial assistance to the state budget, but we may not receive it, we may not receive it , unfortunately, so that the debate there has reached a dead end, absolutely and part of trumpists-republicans are resisting and want so to speak... stubbornly to divide the tranche for financing the state of israel and ukrainian money, so-called? absolutely, yes, and the pessimistic scenario is that it will drag on until the us presidential elections, which will be in october, and only after october a decision on financial assistance to ukraine can be made. this is a pessimistic scenario, but such a restrained and conservative scenario that

sometime in the spring we will still receive this monetary aid, there will be, let me remind you, 60 dollars - this is the general package of financial assistance to ukraine, where the major part will be, there is approximately 42 billion, it is in goods aid with arms, respectively, american, and there are somewhere around 12 billion dollars in money in the state budget, then we will be able to say that the situation in terms of the hryvnia, in terms of the stability of the national currency, in terms of stability of financial calculations, we basically have a system. close this issue for now, well, i don't see such positive scenarios, and march-april, we'll see if the ministry of finance won't have to turn on the printing press and print? because it is quite likely, and with regard to liberalization, the last point, i would not say that it will contribute to improving the investment climate, because

the investment climate and the inflow of external foreign investments require, first of all , the rule of law, that is, stable and predictable legislation and execution of court decisions and protection of property rights, this is the most important. mr. oleksandr, i have a question for you, as an economist from... signals that the senate proposes, so far it is at the proposal level, to prohibit the use of united states money for pension payments in ukraine, a serious statement, if the plans turn into reality, then can it affect the payments and their regularity, or do we take these funds from other expenses? no, we take precisely the money of international partners, primarily for the payment of all social payments and payments to low-income families and the disabled, that is , all categories of socially disadvantaged people

in ukraine receive additional payments from the money of international partners, our taxes that we pay monthly, salaries and so on, euv, vat in every check, yes, it goes precisely to the financing of our army and armed forces and the purchase of equipment and so on, so... this statement is somewhat strange, to be honest, because it is really, well, isn't the main thing now is such a social burden, yes, on money international partners, i would like to remind you that more than uah 500 billion is currently spent annually on the pension provision of ukrainians, there are more than 12 million pensioners in ukraine, so i do not think, to be honest, that this will be a fixed norm. because it's so anti-humane, to be honest, and it's another kind of manipulation, but i think in a week or two they'll forget about it, there will be a new kind of manipulation. mr.

oleksandr, we also wanted to ask you about the prospects of the new reservation procedure for conscripts, we understand that tomorrow, rather tomorrow, as the deputies inform a new draft law on mobilization will be considered by the verkhovna rada, and accordingly. the european business association has already, so to speak, expressed a certain amount of criticism regarding the reservation procedure, in particular? well, there are indeed several alternatives, and i know that the norm is currently being considered, well, as a proposal, yes, to include in the bill that workers, that is , companies that want to book their workers, have a monthly supplement. from 6 to 30 00 uah fixed monthly for each employee who will be booked in this

the company, that is, the employer, in addition to the euv tax, which he already pays in each salary, will additionally pay these fixed hryvnias, the question is how much or 600 hryvnias, is this more or less acceptable for business, or 20? or 3,000 uah per month for each employee , for example, if there are 20 employees in the company, then it is necessary to pay an additional 6,000 uah per month to the company in order for 20 employees to book 30,000 uah per person, this is a very huge amount, that is, a small and an average business will definitely not pull such numbers, and it will be a collapse, well, that's true financial collapse. and many companies will go into the shadows, that is, it will contribute to the increase of the shadow economy in ukraine, if such large numbers are increased, if it will be in the region of 6-8 to 10 00

hryvnias, well, even 10 is already too much, then it will be perceived normally, because indeed , all employers have problems with the fact that it is difficult to find people, no one wants to go, especially where there is a lot of travel around the region. because people are afraid of subpoenas, mr. oleksandr, look, there is another problem, now on the borders of ukraine, employees military commanders, together with law enforcement officers, check the documents of truck drivers and issue them summonses with the demand to be visited by the military, and in fact, the same european business association says that this has already led to panic among drivers in transport queues at the borders and the complication of logistics operations. do you think that such checks will continue to be carried out at the entrances to checkpoints, as far as this can negatively affect traffic, yes, on logistics routes, because, well, this is a kind of additional

obstacle for... our business, logistics and so on, but in principle there are big problems with logistics, you see that for the last three months there have been queues of 30-40 km at the borders, and there have been failures in the queue program, and there is not enough border logistics, we talked about it with you, that new crossing points are not opened and there is not even a strategic plan in the recovery agency, which is opened in the first place, and of course people are afraid, well, not only drivers, everyone... is concerned about this problem, and that is why there should be clear rules of the game, i.e. on which principle the company can book your employee, and it should be, well, if there is an additional payment, okay , let’s pay the 6 or 800 hryvnias per month into the state budget, it will also be a plus for the financing of the armed forces of ukraine, and a plus for the company, that is, the predictability of the stability of the work of its employees employees, but...

these rules should be introduced now and work for at least a year, so that it is really planned and clear rules of the game, this is critical for business, if there are no clear rules of the game, then how can you plan your business activities, so these are problems not only for drivers, logisticians, it's all types of workers, you can't find them in the warehouse, construction workers, you can't find them now, because everyone is very worried about this problem of lack of reservations. finally, mr. oleksandr , what would be the most effective and fair mechanism in your opinion, as we understand, you can criticize certain legislative or executive initiatives, but there must be some other logical proposal, well, i repeat myself, i do not criticize , i am simply in favor of accepting these rules of the game as soon as possible, that is, i say, 6,7,800 uah additional payments to the budget for each are officially

booked. how much it could bring to the state budget, how much it would be serious amounts, if the relevant accounts and calculations were carried out, well, let's count quickly, 1 million reserved employees per month will give 8 billion uah, per year it will give 96 billion uah, for a second 1 million officially reserved employees employees in companies, and this is an absolutely real figure, because a million for sure. 4 million employed people will be officially booked with us now, in this case there will be no collapse due to mobilization, i.e. were the miscalculations taken into account together with the fact that how many people the army needs, for example , now there will be nowhere to take them, there will be no, there are miscalculations, i saw them, that this is absolutely enough, that is, even if 1 million workers are reserved, and there will still be a reserve for mobile'.

therefore, there will be no collapse either for the economy or for the armed forces. thank you, extremely meaningful, meaningful conversation oleksandr bondarenko, managing partner of the bureau of investment programs, economist. well, the verkhovna rada did not find the votes to consider maryana bezugla's dismissal from office deputy chairpersons of the committee, respectively, on issues of national security, defense and intelligence. only 190 deputies supported the decision. people's deputy of ukraine iryna gerashchenko reported about this. according to iryna gerashchenko, representatives of the servant of the people faction did not vote. instead, bezugla herself wants to leave the servant of the people faction, but she is, so to speak, not yet being released too much. such miracles. well , now we will learn more news from anna eva melnyk, who with the news editor has already prepared relevant and fresh information, so anna eva,

we give you the word. does not say what this issue will be about. greetings, colleagues, thank you for your work, the news team continues to work, we will tell you about the most important things, stay with us, unacceptable service. the head of the security service , vasyl malyuk, criticized the actions of the employees of the department for the protection of national statehood, who were monitoring bigusinfo journalists. this causes real indignation, which is why there are already a number of personnel decisions, the press service of the sbu wrote. the head of the department for the protection of national statehood, roman semenchenko, was dismissed, and the deputies of the verkhovna rada councils summoned the kid for a report on.
