consumption, consumption opportunities , that is, the volume of consumption by the society of our economy and citizens of all goods that are currently present on the market will decrease, and thirdly, what will we have if the state introduces new taxes on business, income tax, additional taxes on wages payment, we said that if a person earns more than 20 thousand hryvnias, then the tax should be increased a little, but if a person earns more than 50 thousand hryvnias per month, then it should be increased radically. tax because if a person can to earn, then in this situation, let it be better for a person to receive uah 40,000 and pay 10,000 to the state, and we will receive and remain a sovereign state and celebrate the 50th anniversary of our independence, than someone will try to receive uah 50,000 today, but we we will just stay with you , god forbid, without a country, because believe me, this money, it will not bring happiness to anyone, all the time for 2 thousand years we tried to have su'.

state, like the small baltic countries, but we for all 200 years since the time in history they mentioned ukraine at all, they had less than 50 years of independence, and in this and this situation, of course, all these things must be done by the government, thank you for your professional comments, kostyantyn chuvago was with us, an investor, entrepreneur, philanthropist, he actually answered those questions that concern us today, and about which it is very important to hear the opinion of professional experts, not just professional experts, people who work in the market and understand and... opportunities and threats and risks, we talked, well, now we look at the most important events, that happened outside of ukraine, review by yuriy fizer. the pentagon supports the new commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, general oleksandr syrskyi, and is ready to continue effective cooperation. assistant secretary of defense of the united states of america for international security

, celeste wallender, stated this. the pentagon also noted that ukraine has democratic civilian control over the armed forces, unlike russia. the united states of america will transfer russian-made military equipment to ukraine, which it received from ecuador in exchange for new types of weapons. about this was stated by the us deputy assistant secretary of state for western hemisphere affairs, kevin sullivan , in an interview with the ecuadorian tv channel tele amazonas. he emphasized that the administration. the white house welcomes this decision of the ecuadorian leadership, while answering the question whether the equipment was transferred, the diplomat said that the issue is still being considered by the ecuadorian government, and this decision is being made by the ecuadorian authorities. china welcomes and supports all efforts to achieve peace in ukraine, while official beijing hopes that all parties involved will undertake the political settlement of the situation and speed up the ceasefire. about this.

said an official representative of the ministry of foreign affairs of the celestial empire during the briefing. at the same time, he emphasized that his department will also continue to make maximum efforts so that peace reigns in ukraine as soon as possible. russia may attack one of the nato member countries within the next 3-5 years. danish minister of defense troyals lund poulsen said this in an interview with the newspaper julands posten. according to him, the capacity of production of weapons, etc. stocks in russia have grown enormously, and therefore it cannot be ruled out that the kremlin can test the effectiveness of article five on the collective security of the north atlantic alliance. the minister emphasized that he makes such an assumption on the basis of new conclusions of western intelligence services. the results of a possible referendum on moldova's accession to the european union must be written into the constitution. the president of the country, maya sandu, said this on the air of the moldova-1 tv channel. according to her,

that's when there will be confidence that this one the process is irreversible, because the entire political class will have to follow and implement the decision of the citizens of moldova, who will decide it during the constitutional referendum. if necessary, kim jong-un is ready to take over south korea. the leader of the most closed country in the world said this on the occasion of the 76th anniversary of the founding of the korean people's army. he confidently promised that the dprk is occupying. the territory of the southern neighbor, if extraordinary circumstances arise that require ensuring one's own security. at the same time, this is the development of the scenario kim jong-un called it a reasonable measure for the eternal security of north korea, peace and stability in the future. it was a restless night in the krasnodar region of russia. drones attacked two oil refineries. around four in the morning, the drone fell on the territory of the afib refinery. traditionally. the local authorities

zima's broadcast, today i will sum up the economic results of the week, a lot of interesting things happened, about the border blockade, about prices, about plan b, which should be in ukraine. if the states do not give financial support, details in a moment , i'm oleksandr morshchevko, greetings, this is a column about money during the war, so ukraine is developing a plan that will help it get the necessary funds and cover the budget deficit in the event that financial assistance from the united states is blocked, this is reported by the bloomberg agency, referring to its sources, this plan includes the following three key elements: expanding the sale of domestic bonds, raising taxes and cutting spending. according to the agency , officials should propose this plan the international monetary fund during a three-day visit to kyiv,

the visit is planned for next week. well, really, vasyl, the risks are big, that financial support from the states this year may not come in the amount that is needed. to ukraine, and of course , plan b, which should have been in place for a long time, not only was being developed , the authorities have long been in charge, this is a reduction in power. the situation we see from our international reviews with yuri fizer is difficult in the states, absolutely, although biden also came to us, other representatives, mrs. pritzker, and they said to prepare, everything could happen. it's not that someone doesn't want it, it's just that there is a trump factor and there is such a factor, and international partners talked about it, it was simply necessary to realize it, absolutely so. and the european union plans to provide ukraine with the first tranche of aid, which has already been agreed upon, the money should arrive in march.

the president of the european commission, ursula fonden, announced this this week. she welcomed the agreements between the council of the eu and the european parliament, which allocates 50 billion euros to our country, called it an important step. so the first tranche in the ministry of economy is expected to amount to 4.5 billion euros, it is planned in advance, at least, that these funds will go mostly to finance salaries of state employees, indexation, pensions, etc. well, indeed, there are risks of losing a lot of international funds, and in fact, because of this, the international reserves of ukraine in january. decreased by almost 5%. currently, they amounted to 38 billion 520 million dollars. such a strong reduction in the national bank is associated with a decrease in revenues from international partners. at the beginning of the year, only 898,900

thousand dollars were received in the foreign currency accounts of the government. this is money from the placement of foreign currency bonds of the domestic state loan, that is, it is borrowing on the domestic market, which in essence. restrictions, and there was also money from japan, mainly grants, which came to us through the world bank. well, the blockade was resumed. the poles have once again blocked the checkpoints with ukraine, the state border service reported. polish farmers have previously announced that they are going to block three points from today pass of yagodin, ravaruska and shegeni. traffic is blocked by about 100 people, approx. 50 vehicles, as we can see, blocked traffic entering and leaving poland, well , the situation was really difficult today at the border, let's listen to the direct language, around 10:30 we received information from our polish

colleagues that in front of the checkpoint a doctor the blocking of the movement of vehicles has begun , previously this applies to the entire category of transport, namely trucks, buses. and light vehicles, from the information, according to the information which we have, the participants of such actions on the territory of poland will pass one in... vehicle per hour in one direction, therefore, in connection with this situation, we call on citizens who plan to cross the ukrainian-polish border to take into account the situation at the checkpoint sheghini and choose other checkpoints. well, what is the essence of this problem, which has reborn again, poland wants to ban the import of a number of goods from our country, the minister of agriculture and rural development, czeslaw sekersky, said that the government will to harass this through the european commission. the official said that the blockade may be necessary for

sugar and poultry meat. the minister added that poland and other border countries were the most affected by the european union's decision to cancel customs duties and quotas for our entrepreneurs. instead , polish farmers claim that they have losses. sekersky reminded that, despite brussels' decision in favor of kyiv, warsaw has already banned the import of ukrainian grain. grain, well, we see, in line for a long time they demand to ban, at least limit the import of sugar, meat birds, well, they also talked about chicken eggs there beforehand. well, this week the parliament was actively working, the verkhovna rada adopted a draft law on simplifying the procedure for changing the intended use of land. deputies say this is important for economic recovery. this was reported by the head of the committee on economic development, dmytro kiselevskyi. he is. the author of the initiative, therefore, what does this mean, changing the purpose, simplifying it, it will allow to eliminate

unnecessary bureaucratic obstacles for people who are going to build, for example, a large industrial or energy facility in one or another region. obtaining all the necessary permits will not take several years, but only about one and a half months. well, how the law will enter into force will be determined by the local government, it will work promptly and grant permits to investors and... entrepreneurs, well, that was the last information from the results of this economic week, i am oleksandr morshchevka , i will say goodbye to you, but the big broadcast continues, more to come, watch us! the national team of ukraine received opponents in the group of the league of nations 2024 2022. in the first group of the b division, the blue-yellow team will play against the national teams of the czech republic, albania and georgia.

from the world of sports, next month the national football team of ukraine will compete for the euro. 2024, which i have to go to germany, in in any case, we understand very well that the situation at the front mainly depends on everything , how it will be, sports, all other things, good hopes, good dreams, but there is a reality that we have to withstand, well, a lot depends on the weather, which natalka didenko is ready to tell us the weather this weekend, mrs. natalya, good evening, please, i have the floor, congratulations, vasyl, congratulations, our dear viewers, of course, we will talk about the weather not only for the coming day, but also for both of you. ... all about it and not only about it, literally in a moment. you and i are talking about the weather that is expected in the coming weekend, february is going on, winter is going on, so the recent such significant, almost

april-like warming should not confuse us , well , in the south, i will tell you in advance that we will refrain... the weather is quite warm, and we will start today's meeting with a conversation about phobias, well , there are all kinds of phobias, we are all living people, and this is understandable, and you should not be ashamed of it , but of course you should fight it professionally, and today we are talking about such a phobia, as ee chionophobia or cynophobia is the fear of snow, i heard about it for the first time, i think that there are probably a lot of them, but still... well, about snow - it's interesting, well, it could be that this phobia is caused by some kind of psychological trauma specifically related to snowfall, perhaps some fear of being trapped in a snow trap or being buried under snow, or such a fear, this chionophobia can arise after some accidents, for example, frostbite or some injuries or accidents that happened in

snowy weather, and i randomly want say, that well, i don't know if it was ehion. phobia , or onophobia, but something very similar, when i got into the famous snow of 2013 on march 22 and was walking home, and i fell there on certain sections of the road home, almost up to my waist, the snow continued to mold, and for a second i somehow i imagined that now this snow will completely cover me too, so maybe i felt something similar to chionophobia, well, we talked about phobia. god willing, they will not touch us, and we will get rid of them, and we pass to the behavior of the magnetic field of the earth, and now for your attention, the forecast chart for tomorrow, for the next day, and it is clear that in the coming night and early in the morning there will be a certain activation, magnetic activity will be increased, so please pay attention to your health, your

well-being special attention, and actually we are moving on to the weather forecast... for the next day, for saturday, and now we will go through each region of ukraine, in particular, well, we traditionally start with the western regions, so tomorrow in the western part of ukraine on saturday the weather is expected as you can see, it is very, very warm, from 9 to 15°, well, 15 is 14, 15, this is chernivtsi, zakarpattia region, it will be colder. it is fresher in volyn and rivne region, and of course, at such an air temperature, it is clear that it is raining in places. in the north of ukraine tomorrow it will be much colder, at night in general to minuses, well, admittedly small, and during the day there may be a small minus in sumy oblast, for example, 0.3°, and wet snow, which, by the way, is in kyiv now it is so cold and such a real winter outside the window, during the day it can

turn into rain, in the east of ukraine tomorrow, even on day e... the air temperature will be low, -1-2°, -3, in donetsk region it is a little higher, and therefore, of course, the precipitation phase will depend on the air temperature. er, in the central part of ukraine, tomorrow, the maximum air temperature is expected to be within, as you can see, quite high, but a little colder, fresher in the poltava region. therefore, once again , the phase of precipitation will be mainly in the form of rain, but also wet in some places. of snow, well , warm weather is expected tomorrow in the south of ukraine, high air temperature, +10 +15°, but without it rained, ee u... wet snow is expected in kyiv tomorrow with a transition to rain in the afternoon, the daytime air temperature will be somewhere up to +3°, and on sunday

the air temperature will gradually rise, on monday in most regions of ukraine the temperature indicators will barely reach not april's, she came here now, one of the experts came to help you, this is my aunt, she is very lively as you can see, of course i wanted to show you taras too. but now just a second, i'll throw you here, show yourself to the audience, who all love you very much, here is tarasyk, and since today is friday, this is a surprise for you, taras, too, of course, did not expect that i would capture him, well, in a word, keep a close eye on our updated forecasts on the espresso channel. many thanks to natalsa didenko and expert tatyana. i will end by saying that there is a statement from a delegation of congressmen who arrived

in kyiv, and they said that the united states of america will continue to support ukraine, and this is exactly the message they came with. and well, they will have certain meetings, obviously, certain conversations. i really want it to be so it happened because, in fact, ukraine today depends on the support of the leaders. of the free world, one of the leaders of the free world is the united states of america, and they understood that without weapons from the united states, without this financial assistance, well, we can fight heroically, but we understand what power we are up against, especially since north korea also helps russia , and iran, and probably other countries, but we believe in the armed forces, we will donate, support each other and stay with the espresso, good evening, we are from ukraine. welcome to the espresso channel. of course, we will be in our program today talk about the front and weapons. but is

limiting the enemy's ability to generate or restore its energy there or industrial capabilities a front in our war with the russian federation? of course there is. if so, is it possible to undermine russia's ability to continue the war with only strikes on its industries. energy and defense enterprises, and whether information is a weapon in its delivery in the form of either truth or lies, and how this weapon is used by our enemy and how we use it, and whether there are any new technologies that have a powerful effect in the conditions this war so, the front and weapons are now multi -dimensional, and about how ukraine and our partners act on various fronts, and with what... consequences, we will talk about this with our leading experts in the war and weapons program, and of course, including in the context of changes at the head of the armed forces of ukraine. my name

is serhiy sgurets, i am the director of the information and consulting company defense express, which, together with the espresso channel , aims to highlight the most relevant trends in the life of our defense industry, the military and international cooperation. and now to we are joined by the president of the strategy center for global studies. 21 mykhailo gonchar, one of the best, in my opinion, experts in the field of energy military security, mr. mykhailo, i congratulate you, i'm glad to see and hear you. good health, i congratulate you, mr. serhiy, and the viewers of lvivexpresso. there are many questions related to the events of this month, this week, and even the last few days, and here nada's accents and points are important, which, i hope, you will help us to sort out, and i will start with... first of all, with such a profile question, which results from the fact that during the month, at least there, seven facilities on the territory of the russian federation that are related to

the energy sector have been hit by our unmanned systems in such a significant way that it seems that more than 100 billion or 100 million, rather 100 billion dollars for the russian federation have been damaged, and the question arises whether this is... a significant new trend that can really significantly weaken russia's defense capabilities, and is it possible to make a single bet on it in order to force the enemy to abandon further aggressive actions? thank you, good question, well, there can't be any bet on one of the weapons that will bring victory, and you also can't bet on... defeating something alone, which will also ensure victory, that is, the classic here must be a comprehensive application not only the strength of means and damage to the enemy.

on the front line, in its, so to speak, operational depth, but also in strategic, and in principle, the fact that the objects of the fuel infrastructure in the depths of russia, the european part of russia began to be affected, i think, precisely an indicator that there has been a transition to such a more comprehensive approach in the war of attrition, because since ... it has moved to this format of a long-term war of attrition, and from the very beginning it will shoot our entire territory to its entire strategic depth, and we would speaking were limited only to actions on the front line and near the state border, then actually this asymmetry is, i would say unnatural, so now compensation and

use are taking place accordingly. those new possibilities, i have, the possibilities of the long arm, which appeared from with the appearance of new, more powerful and more far-reaching unmanned aerial vehicles of the strike model, so this is an absolutely correct strategy, it has, in fact, now acquired such a more complex character, because if we recall in the 22nd, in the second half, and in the 23rd year, attacks were carried out, including against those objects that were attacked even now. in the area of ​​the south of russia, well, but this year’s feature, so to speak, is that they reached both the baltic and the continental depths of the european part of russia, that is, here it has everything should be continued, there should be a system and sequence. i finally understood why i was confused about these indicators, it is said that last year this trade in hydrocarbons brought russia about 100 billion dollars,

that is... in fact, in fact, the sanctions that we talked about there in various formats, after all, russia bypassed , and this way of living on hydrocarbons, it seems to be preserved, are there any decision steps that can limit this maneuver of russia in this segment, what decisions can be made and how do sanctions work in the energy segment and in other directions, whether they have not exhausted themselves, whether there are mechanisms, means, well, to really do them in an effective way. pressure on russia, well, first of all, i doubt that the figure of about 100 billion dollars is correct, according to our calculations , a much larger amount was received, another matter is that part of this money, well, if there are petrodollars, but there are petroyuans, petrorupies, which are so to speak, reduce the possibility of maneuver for the kremlin, but we see that the war budget is ensured. and

this is not only due to the growth rate of russia's gdp for the past year, because in theory sanctions should stop this process, not just stop the process of gdp growth, on the contrary , collapse it. we do not see any collapse. yes, we see serious problems brewing in russia's economy, but so to speak, roughly speaking, there is enough money for the war, at least for now. and the russian budget for the 24th year, it is from above in such a way that in the first half... or throw as much money as possible into this furnace of war, and they are doing it, and that is why this once again emphasizes the relevance of strikes by the defense forces of ukraine on strategic enterprises in russian, in this case i mean not only the enterprise of the fuel and energy complex. now regarding the sanctions, yes, they work, you can't say that they don't work, because russia's trade is... which of

the union and the g7 countries, in principle, it collapsed, but on the other hand , the sanctions don't work the way they should work, that is, they do not stop russian aggression, and the purpose of the sanctions was precisely to force russia to refuse, or rather not to refuse, but to make impossible the functioning of this engine of aggression, that is here is this income. of these cash flows , which make it possible to feed the war budget, in this sense the sanctions do not work, moreover, we see that if the sanctions package on oil and oil products somehow works there, and indeed russia received significantly less income than it was in 22 th year, but those revenues which...
