of course, well, for some time the state 5.79% leadership program continues, it simplifies the access of micro and small businesses to bank lending, government officials say, you can take a loan of up to 90 million uah and work. well, if we talk about business financing, then under the grant program own business, another 462 ukrainians will receive uah 111.00 from the state, these are funds for starting and developing their own business, the ministry of economy reported this week. most of the entrepreneurs now receive non-refundable funds from lviv and kyiv for their own business and sumy regions. the vast majority of people plan to spend this money to buy equipment necessary for running a business. the most popular areas now are wholesale and retail trade, car repair.

of vehicles, organization of food and also receive grants for the processing industry, indeed, it is the processing industry that is currently the most stimulated by funds from the european union, and this is necessary for ukrainian business, the ukrainian budget, because it is the goods with added value that can be exported abroad will bring more income to the treasury, and many jobs will be created , this is... important, and a new investment attraction agency will be created in ukraine. it should become the only such access point for foreign money that will flow into the private sector. this was announced this week by the minister of economy yuliya sveridenko. this issue was discussed with representatives of the london stock exchange. specialists there assured that they are ready to advise ukrainians, to provide an expert with such expertise, and if it is... an agency for attracting investments

will work, we will expect the receipt of various donor funds from various private, private capital, but we will monitor how this institution will work, how this capital will be distributed, this is important, and the government is looking for ways to fill the budget, well, this is perhaps the most important thing tasks of the ukrainian cabinet, the ministry of finance is preparing to increase the military levy and excise duty. the changes will apply to legal entities, corporate income tax payers, single tax payers of the third and fourth groups, as well as ordinary simple small entrepreneurs. the proposals include a rate hike of mostly up to 1.5%. in addition, the additional military fee will affect buyers of bank metals, cars, real estate sellers, those who sell jewelry, as well as companies, mobile operators may pay additional. military

collection, the cabinet of ministers say. well, the state property fund is preparing the pentopak plant for privatization, it was confiscated from the russian-greek oligarch ivan savvidi. he supported russian aggression in ukraine. this was announced this week by the head of the fund, vitaliy koval. department received the company pentopak by the decision of the higher anti-corruption court in february , the shares of the company have already been transferred to the state. one of the leaders in the production of packaging for meat and sausage products. well, if we talk about the assets that are supposed to work, about the assets of russians, sanctioned persons who are supposed to work for ukraine, then here they are, russian assets, in particular, can be a kind of collateral. great britain is ready to provide ukraine with a loan for the amount of the frozen assets of the central bank of moscow, which are now...

at the disposal of the united kingdom, however, this will happen if russia is forced to pay reparations to ukraine after the end of the war. the minister of foreign affairs of the united kingdom , david cameron, announced this this week. this plan is more radical than the proposals currently being discussed in the european union - says cameron. they envisage transferring to ukraine only profits, that is, interest from the frozen finances of the central bank of the aggressor country. let's. let's listen to what mr. cameron said. there is an opportunity to use something like a syndicated loan or bond that uses frozen russian assets, effectively as a guarantee, to give that money to the ukrainians, knowing that we will get it back when russia pays reparations. cameron, the british foreign minister, that different countries are trying to help in their own way. to ukraine,

using those finances, those assets, those properties that are currently located either in the european union or in the states, we are monitoring this, and indeed. that's all you have to be thankful for. but energy minister herman galushchenko ruled out any commercial agreements, which would allow russian gas to pass through our country. we are talking about next year, because the transit agreement ends in 2024, what will happen in 2025 with the ukrainian gas transport system is still unknown. nevertheless , the ministry of energy urges foreign companies to store blue fuel in underground storage facilities. in this way, ukraine will also receive income, and our underground storage facilities will be able to serve as such, well, such a hub for the fuel to then go to the needs of the countries of the european union, well

, some private companies from the european union have different opinions now after all, they are hinting to the ukrainian side that they say we will buy russian gas, and maybe... we will conclude private agreements so that this fuel somehow goes to the countries of the european union, but so far the ministry of energy categorically rejects all hints, all possible international contracts partners, i.e. russian gas cannot go through the ukrainian hts. well, we hope that this categorical position of the government will be respected. well, but we are actually walking. with you to energy independence ukrgaz mining has already launched the fourth since the beginning of the year well, it produces more than 400,000 cubic meters of fuel per day, the company reported. the well was completed 30% faster in just 105 days. the idea of ​​launching

the facility belongs to the development team of the ukrainian research institute of natural gases. let me remind you that the government reported that ukraine has passed this winter completely. with gas of its own production, but since the beginning of the year new vacancies have increased, while the number of resumes is significantly lower than in 2022-2023, this is stated in the review of the national bank, which appeared in infospace this week, analysts note that this situation may indicate that the business has largely adapted to wartime conditions and needs personnel for further recovery. instead , there is a shortage of people, mostly due to migration and mobilization, analysts say. currently , enterprises are experiencing a shortage of personnel, in fact, they are trying to involve everyone, in general, who can be involved, who is free. and finally, i will read the latest information:

this week the royal canadian mint released a collector's silver easter egg coin. in this way, he continues to popularize ukrainian culture. denomination 20 canadian. dollars, the price in the online store is $135. the design of the coin was created by tanya mykytyuk, a rope artist of ukrainian origin, she has been writing pysanka for over 40 years. the coin, as you can see, has the shape of an egg, the reverse features an original easter egg design, and the obverse features a portrait of queen elizabeth ii. this easter egg coin is dedicated to the recent wave of ukrainians who came to canada in search of asylum and new beginnings, says the author of the coin. well, that was the last info. mother of of the economic week, which was really full of topics, i will follow the news of the economy from monday onwards, and you stay, the big broadcast continues, watch us, of course i would really

like to buy one, i don't know if it will be available so that we i could have bought it, but i have it... there is another plot for your attention, and now we will watch it with you. safety above all, 28 territorial communities from 14 regions of ukraine joined the women, peace, security, responses to the challenges of war project, including zhytomyr. what are her security questions it has already been decided, our journalists will tell. a security audit is the first step to improving life in any region of ukraine. this is on its own. an example is demonstrated by the zhytomyr urban territorial community. it all started with participation in a training as part of the women's peace-security project, a response to the challenges of war last fall, organized by the ukrainian public health foundation. this initiative

has been implemented since last year thanks to the partnership of the strongest women's public organizations with the apparatus of the government commissioner on issues of gender policy. it is designed to be effective. respond to the challenges faced by women at the national, regional and local levels. we conducted security audits of two areas, this is the square at the artistic gate. and castle hill, and after conducting audits, finding many such shortcomings that it is interesting that one square is reconstructed, and the other is planned for reconstruction, and there and there we discovered many issues related to improving security , for the zamkova gora park, which is located on reconstruction bought a special height for cleaning dry branches, but the other location has already... been rebuilt, but the city's cultural and sports center is located on its territory, which is visited by children, so the safety

issue is a priority in this place. thanks to the audits of the territory, we were able to take a broader look at safety issues, we know that our center is an after-school education, and our children study in the afternoon, well, more in the afternoon, when it's already dark, and that's why we bought these... ecoflo, lights that work on solar batteries, they helped us a lot to work normally. zhytomyr square, the art gate has already been rebuilt, so it looks tidy and there are no problems with lighting, but outside its borders, the audit revealed a direct danger: destroyed buildings, overgrown, and all this next to the children's playground. such cluttered areas can be places of attack on women or children. the local deputies passed on their comments to the relevant services and solved the problem. we all

dealt with security issues before becoming a deputy, but now we have received very clear ones instructions, information has already been collected, and it seems to me that it is extremely important, after all , to monitor global grants that relate to ecology, that relate to security, because this is the work of not just one generation, but of european countries, and we have a lot to... learn . the ukrainian public health foundation started implementing security audits in our country even before the war, but the russian invasion made its adjustments. a security audit is a tool that first of all allows the community later the funds they have, direct to the coverage of priority issues related to security. we actually updated that methodology from the 19th year, added moments related to... war, because now security is about war, about shelter, about mines, about other challenges, and 9 months, that's this period, for

which we conducted security audits in ukraine. protection of the population and access to the necessary resources is what the state continues to work on as part of the national action plan for women, peace, security. when we talk about this policy and the approach of women peace security, we we are talking about different social groups. population, it is necessary to identify their needs and then take into account the formation and implementation of state policy, only then can state policy be effective, we talk about this at the government level, but the mechanisms and tools are laid in such projects. the security audit of territories is an important component of state policy, during the russian-ukrainian war, the issue of protecting the population comes first. the active participation of communities in conducting audits contributes to improving the level of safety and prevention

violence tetyana golonova, oleksiy kutsuk, andriy verstyuk, espresso tv channel. yes, i have some news here, but i will postpone them, because now i invite oles kovach, the british correspondent of radio liberty, to the conversation. mr. olesya, i congratulate you. congratulations, vasyl. i will ask one question, and i will give you time to answer it in detail, valery zaluzhnyi. can become the ambassador of ukraine in great britain, and how is it evaluated now, perhaps in zmi, the press, broadcasts, is it being discussed, in principle yes, waiting for grim, as far as i understand, well, but i think that this issue will be resolved positively, and what should be expected from his work, but the most important thing is the reaction that appeared immediately after the publication of this news, in fact, it is worth noting that the news about the appointment of the former commander-in-chief... of the armed forces valery zaluzhny of ukraine, the ambassador of ukraine to great britain, caused a noticeable revival, at

the same time, in the ruling circles of the united kingdom, among observers and mass media. actually, the appearance of valery zaluzhny as a diplomatic representative of ukraine in the capital one of kyiv's most important and loyal allies in the war against russian aggression, is seen as something that can add some... let's say, energy and progress to ukrainian-british relations too under the conditions of the insidious war that russia has unleashed against ukraine, and indirectly in the same way, this war has been unleashed: of course, against the values ​​of democracy and freedom of the whole world, and here in the residence of the british government in whitehall, in the center of london, they have already received an official request from kyiv, regarding the approval of valery zaluzhny's candidacy, as the new ambassador of ukraine to the united kingdom, and here british observers remind us that ukraine has not had its own ambassador in one of the most important

allied countries for months during our heroic time. of russian aggression, and starting from july 2023, i will remind you, when president volodymyr zelenskyy fired the ambassador to london vadym prystaik, kyiv actually did not have its diplomatic representative in london, and in particular, if we talk about the british mass media, for example, the editor department of international news of the largest of the popular sky news television news channel , dominique wakhorn, on this occasion noted that it was the interview... with mr. prystaik, the previous ambassador of ukraine to great britain, the interview for sky news, actually led to, let's say, his removal from of this position, when vadym prystaiko criticized some statements of president zelensky, regarding the corresponding words of the then british defense minister ben wallace, from the opinion of

dominic waghorn, the new ambassador of ukraine, we hope he will be approved, like valeriy zaluzhny, the new ambassador of ukraine, he will definitely adopt this certain experience of his predecessor, trying, as dominic waghorn pointed out, to skillfully and delicately balance, conducting this active diplomatic work with loyal friends and partners of kyiv in the united kingdom. waghorn casually pointed out that valery zaluzhnyi, by the way, has an appropriate education. in the field of international relations and speaks english. so, according to dominic waghorn, zaluzhny is simply the perfect candidate for the ambassador of ukraine to great britain at this historical moment. and in general, discussing the appointment of the former chairman, former commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine zaluzhny to a key

position in london, government representatives and british political scientists unanimously... consider valery zaluzhny as, no more, no less, a national hero of ukraine who, from the first days of the insidious russian invasion, brought against ukraine, against moscow's invasion. and, in particular, i want to quote the words of a popular british viewer on ukraine and the former ussr, jordan maxwell, who emphasized that valery zaluzhnyi takes quite a unique place among ukrainian officials, being one of those who, according to certain polls of groman opinion, are trusted by ukrainians. maxel believes that under the conditions of a certain friction, which is believed to have arisen between him and president zelensky in november of that year, due to the statements of zaluzhnyi, we remember, an interview with the economist, another leading western mass media, about a certain

stalemate in the war, the ex-chief will perform extremely important work at a distance. from the office of the president of ukraine, at the same time having already changed his military uniforms on, let's say, a business suit with a crib and entering into many, we have to put a full stop, i thank you very much for your comment, i could say a lot more, there are many interesting topics to discuss, but i think there will be more and i hope that you still do an interview with valery zaluzhny when he is in london, thank you very much, oles kovach, british correspondent of radio liberty, about how. london and the public and politicians took this news. well, now the review of the most recent sports events. let's see. serhiy rebrov announced an application for march matches of the ukrainian national football team.

the team will prepare for the decisive games of the european championship play-offs. the number included 26 football players, including 12 legionnaires, i.e. performers who perform abroad. four players made it to the reserve list. dynamo and shakhtar have the largest representation in the national team. experienced andriy yarmolenko and taras stepanenko were left out of the application due to lack of proper conditions and health problems. the head coach of the ukrainian national team said that despite the status of the favorite in the upcoming match with the bosnians, the blue-yellow team must prepare well. and to be mentally ready for the challenges, we already have the experience of these games, last time we played scotland and wales and it's not the first time for the players and i'm sure they're ready and... as i say, we we can say favorite, not favorite , but we play away from home, and it is always very difficult, but on the other hand, as i say, now

, if you see, a lot of players with education, with education not only in the championship of ukraine with experience of playing on international arena, so i hope, i am confident in these players. the semi-final playoff qualifier against bosnia and herzegovina will take place on march 21. on the bosnian field. if they reach the finals, the ukrainians will play a conditional home match against the winner of the israel-iceland match on march 26. the 20th round of the ukrainian premier league began with a sensational loss of points by dynamo kyiv. oleksandr shovkovskyi's team did not hold on to victory in the last minutes of the match in rivne against the local veres, the 15th team of the championship. at the start of the meeting, nazar opened the score voloshin but in the last seconds of the confrontation, the home team scored a saving goal from the penalty spot, marko marvaljevic scored. also on thursday, zorya defeated minai - 2:0. on

heavyweight world champion anthony joshua will fight ufc star francis angana. the duel will take place late tonight at saudi arabia. for 37-year-old nganu, this will be only the second fight in professional boxing. last october, the cameroonian lost to the world champion by decision of the judges. at the heavy weight of tyson fury, despite this, it was fury who was knocked down after a powerful blow to nganu, the main motivation for the participation of fighters in such events is the cosmic fee. joshua will receive almost 40 million pounds, ngan more than 15 million. slovakia is no longer invited to the meeting, france has initiated a video conference. 28 countries are represented, there is no slovakia, well, you don't have to just name it putin's policy is considered, then nothing like this will happen. speaking in bucharest at the people's party congress, the greek prime minister said that putin will not intimidate us, we will fight for

ourselves and for ukraine to the end. good news, in fact, moscow is already preparing for putin's victory concert, but the russians themselves say that if you hurry, you will make people laugh, and the ukrainians say, don't say oops until you jump. well, let's see. thank you for being with us, i say goodbye to you until monday, then the weather with natalka. grandfather, well, and then program verdict, be with espresso. oh, ma'am, i'm saying, the weather, ms. natalka, ms. natalya, i congratulate you, please, i have a word for you, i'm so busy here with my political news that i'll forget what i have to say, i'm glad to see you, you look beautiful , please, thank you, dear vasyl, congratulations, congratulations to our tv viewers, now we will talk about the weather of the coming weekend, special, because it is shevchenko days, well, not only about the weather, literally in... a moment,
