united by football, stronger together. well, dear tv viewers, an extremely positive signal, this is not news yet, but a signal that was published by the wall street journal. so, it is as if the american defense department was opened for the transfer of etekoms of a longer period of time. previously, representatives of the pentagon insisted on this. that the united states military should retain all of its etecoms long-range missiles for its own military needs, but that the us department of defense is now open to outsourcing as military the united states can use next-generation missiles. at the same time, however, the pentagon did not say whether president biden would approve the transfer of etek missiles to ukraine from a longer range. yes, well , we understand that the story is with the american game.

we are for us, well, unfortunately, it is still hanging in the air, well , but they gave such a positive signal, well, as the classics said, you will not be full of signals, you will not be satisfied with signals, and there is also a ukrainian saying "promise" means to marry, too there is such a thing, and this actually shows that we understood the intentions, but we hope for concrete steps, well , less so, andriy dubas, the president of the association of ukrainian banks should be in touch with us already, mr. andriy, we already see you, we are glad to welcome you on our airwaves, glory of ukraine. glory to the heroes, i promised to get married and got married, congratulations to my wife. yes, that's great, you know how to, so to speak, stop the broadcast on the fly, such a pause is alarming, everyone started clicking on remotes, those who watch us on tv and so on. look, mr. andriy, they wanted to ask you about money, that is, american money, european decision regarding frozen russian assets. we understand that until now , unfortunately, there is no single common fin. denominator to trigger this

mechanism. we have been hearing this story for more than two years, that is, everyone is talking very cool, more than 300 billion russian bucks, euros and so on, frozen, and so on and so on, let's transfer the interest to ukraine, so far there is no decision either on the interest or on the transfer the body of the frozen loans itself, what do you think is happening in the matter as this whole thing will take a long time... it can drag on, and the key story, so to speak, is whether we will be given frozen interest, or is there a prospect of receiving, i don't know, a couple of tens of billions, which would not be completely unnecessary for us? i think that in the short term we will receive interest on the revenues that euroclear has generated from the frozen assets, which is somewhere around three, maybe $4 billion. that is, this is, well, in my

opinion, the closest we will get, but ukrainian needs for financial support are much more than 4 billion, and if looking at the situation in the context of what is happening in the united states of america, i am pleased that the european union began to more actively consider an alternative option so that ukraine could continue to oppose the enemy of the russian federation, but already now... the grandson of these arrested, blocked funds of the russian federation , and now there is a discussion and one of the options, which in our opinion can be quite adequate, is when these funds are frozen, act as collateral, securities are issued under them, and on those securities, that is, this money, roughly speaking, already go to the needs of ukraine, and then there is one, you can ask the question, but what about russia next? will get these funds back

, they can, but after compensating for all the losses caused to ukraine, they can take back, for example, these frozen assets, and i will share one fresh figure right away: the world bank has recorded at this moment that ukraine has already incurred 483 billion dollars of damages, and this is not the final amount, because the war continues, and there are areas where it is simply impossible to calculate the damages. and therefore see frozen 300 billion chi there are 300, a little more than 300 billion dollars, the funds issued under them, and this is as a guarantee, are now going to the needs of ukraine, for restoration, reconstruction, defense and so on, already when russia compensates us for the losses, then let them take away the losses now larger than this amount, so it seems to me that this is a normal, normal story, so, mr. andriy, we understand that the war brings great losses to our state, but also... empties the wallets and

opportunities of our fellow citizens, because more than half of the budget of ukrainians now spent on food and mandatory payments, these are the results of a study by deloitte and... actually , they compared consumer attitudes in germany, poland, the united states, canada, the republic of south africa, and ukraine in particular, and actually, what is remarkable is that ukrainians spend almost 66% of their money on some of the most important needs , at that time, for example, like europeans, they do not spend such large sums on their own food and still not the most necessary, we understand simply. that the pensions and salaries of ukrainians are relatively smaller, accordingly, the amount of their income by food, it is significantly greater than that of the same europeans. is it possible for us to become richer during the war? i understand that this is a bit of a philosophical question, but so what? we understand that our purchasing power

is getting smaller, but still, is it possible for ukrainians to get richer during the war? well, it is difficult for me to say whether it is possible to compare such phrases as "pleasure" or, for example, in wartime conditions, now, it seems to me, a more adequate phrase that can be used is to save savings, and before with this, i will give an even greater priority to preserve the life and health of my own, and that of my relatives, my life and health, as well as my property. uh, if we talk about specific numbers, for example, regarding the minimum wage or the average wage, of course, due to the devaluation, which was, in connection with the war, by 25%, remember, before the invasion, the exchange rate in our country was about 29 games for the dollar, then in the summer of the 22nd hand of the year the national bank fixed it at 3656. this devaluation is the price paid

we are all with you, both ukrainians and businesses, for the additional emission of money, that is, the additional printing of money, especially in the first and second quarters of the 22nd year, when the ukrainian... budget had colossal budget shortfalls and increased defense spending , the needs of the army at times the situation had to be resolved immediately, international financial aid began to arrive to us only in the third, at the end of the third and fourth quarters, and it was already rhythmic throughout the 23rd year, but these first two quarters yes, we paid for it 25% devaluation ukrainian hryvnia. what can we do now? the first thing that should be paid attention to is that the economy that exists in ukraine today, the funds that we have today that circulate in ukraine, so that they remain in ukraine as much as possible, that is, that enterprises and productions, who work in ukraine, so that they use the local product as much as possible, involve the local manufacturer,

the supplier of their products and ukrainians as a workforce, let's say this, because then it has a multiplier effect, for example, in the banking sector, we are now very... actively working on the continuation of the development of mortgages, because mortgages now ukrainians are faced with the fact that there is a need for additional areas, improvement of living conditions, and mortgages have a very high multiplication index, almost one to 10, that is, 1 hryvnia invested in housing in ukraine has an output of 10-11 hryvnias of effect for the economy, because most of the products for construction are still our local, that is, in my opinion, we can get out of this situation. when we set ourselves for priority for loans to be issued , for the investments we place to have a local, local character, because you know, when we, for example, pay some salary, or, for example, use some funds for imported equipment, for an imported

car, or for an imported , for example, some other things, then how could it be spent on vacation, for example, in ukraine, you know, let's say, and not where before, a lot was spent on vacation for the cordo. or on, for example, some more ukrainian product, it will be much better for ukrainian economy? well, this, so to speak , it is ideal, of course, it sounds better that way, well, but we understand that we also have to import a lot of things that, for example, are not produced in our country, or if they are produced, then not in at an inadequate level, or the service provided is both more expensive and worse, well, but this is, so to speak, a general story, here we should... assess the situation with the possible involvement of some new , i don’t know , circulating billions, we understand that are looking for, so information arrives from time to time that they are already there payments for a couple of months, there, well, our state treasury explains everything well

, we understand what it is connected with, yes, that is, there are certain manual mode movements, mr. antin, i will tell you here in an addendum, you are absolutely right here. that an important factor for the development of the ukrainian economy will also be the inflow of foreign investments, for the opening of new local productions here, ah, and they are slowing down to some extent today. this is due to the fact that any foreign investor, after all a business, he, you know, he is still apolitical, if we take it in the global world, yes, business in ukraine is not apolitical, because we are all in the territory under shelling, but a foreign investor looks at whether it is more profitable for him to invest in ukraine, or whether it is more profitable for him to invest, for example, in puerto rico or in some malaysia, and he looks , weighs these risks, therefore, if in ukraine, and i will even say, not if, but when, here i will reveal to you a certain such insider, there will be fear in ukraine. military risks on the part of the state, a foreign investor will be able to consider ukraine more

interestingly than today, and at the last meetings with the representatives of the authorities, we can already see that there is a developed concept of an export credit agency that works in ukraine, most likely it will be the operator of this, this, this instrument for the insurance of military risks, and i think that this year, this year, most likely tools will be developed. which we will be able to present to the foreign investor so that he has the opportunity to more reliably choose ukraine for himself, because we cannot use other methods to convince him to open a local production in the option of choosing other countries. well, this is cool, this cool, but by the way, i would like to note here that, for example, some insurance companies are already starting to introduce certain military risks into their insurance packages, and it is actually important to understand this. that we are already starting to adapt a little to military realities, and i think that over time, yes,

our investors will really be confident, sure that they will be able to invest here and, accordingly, all their military risks will also be taken into account. thank you, andriy dubas, president of the association of ukrainian banks, was on our airwaves, they talked about the opportunity the use of russian assets for the benefit of ukraine, as well as other important economic issues were discussed together with him. let's go to shortening now. pause, after it we return to our broadcast, we will continue to inform you about the most important things, but today we did not talk about the main thing, about our collection, yes, i remember that it seems that at the beginning of the broadcast i mentioned it, but during did not remind you on the air, so i remind you our viewers, and who watches us on youtube, and who watches us on television, let's do everything possible for to help our armed forces and defense forces we are now raising funds for na bagi yes for the time to evacuate po... and munitions trucks also need funds for rebs trench car rebs so

the bill on transferring the powers of administration of local property taxes to the citizens themselves, it sounds great. it is difficult, but we ask you to explain as simply as possible what this draft law is about and what it is, and of course, i will only correct a little not to citizens, but to communities, it is about the fact that all local property taxes, namely real estate taxes and land taxes, similar to other taxes, vat, personal income tax, are administered by our tax office, but local property taxes, they... absolutely remain in the communities, that is, for the development of communities, the tax office here acts only as an intermediary, and in the very structure of all taxes, these local property taxes occupy only about 6%, accordingly, it is clear that the tax department is primarily concentrated in order to effectively administer vat, which is

the key budget-forming tax and others, those that are in larger amounts, that is, that make more... more money, to put it more simply, at the same time communities not do not have any access to tax bases in order to be able to calculate and administer this effectively, you know that some pay real estate tax, some pay from the 20th year, others from the 16th, and some still do not pay because they simply do not receive these notifications about... about the assessment of the appropriate tax, those communities that are interested go to the tax office themselves, carry all this data, distribute tax notifications to people so that they pay these taxes, because the communities are interested, because these funds go to their local budgets, and in fact , this issue was discussed for many years within the walls of the parliament, finally we registered

the relevant bill with experts to transfer this administration to the places, moreover, i want to say that in our memorandum with the imf there is such a provision, and in in the work of both our tax committee and the work of the government for this year, work on this transfer is foreseen, we actually have a lot of discussions and different positions among experts and people's deputies, different from what proposed by the cabinet of ministers, but it is good that the discussion... i have already moved to a new stage, to the level of a draft law, and it will be possible to move in the direction of full financial decentralization, i want to remind you that this is exactly what is happening in poland and in the countries the baltic countries are the countries from which we took decentralization as an example. yes, mrs. galina,

well, you explained it as if it were simple, but somehow it didn't get that simple, that is, what do you think about... have you already passed the consideration of this draft law in the committee? no, actually, as of now it is only registered, still in the committee was not considered, we are currently waiting for the conclusions of the main expert department of the verkhovna rada, the conclusions of the relevant relevant ministries, because this is actually such a complex reform, and i want to say, how important are such changes? do you remember when at the end of last year , since october. appropriate changes were made to the budget code and the so-called military personal income tax was transferred to the level of the state budget, in fact , such changes will be able to provide additional revenues to local budgets without any... raising of tax rates in order to communities could properly exercise their powers, look, ms. galina, but we

understand that when personal income tax was transferred to the state budget, well, the question was not only about money, that is, we understand that it was a kind of pull towards local self-government, we understand , that at one time, when targeted decentralization was carried out, well, one of the key... principles was subsidiarity, here we see that part of the deputy corps, we understand who she was, so to speak, motivated, she decided, so to speak say, transfer this subsidiarity to kyiv , to certain specific offices, yes, in order to simplify your life and the management of certain resources, well, here it looks like you can, so to speak, stand up for local self-government again, well and the key story , what are the possible feedbacks, we understand that before the registration of the bill is very cool, but there is still a committee and there is a certain mood in the session hall, but we wanted to ask about this above, well

, many deputies who work directly in the committee on issues local government, of course, that they support these norms, moreover, they were co-authors of this bill, and this bill was developed for almost a year, and in the hoverla project, which is supported. together with experts, with relevant associations, many expert round tables, discussions, consultations were held, and associations, respectively, which represent the interests of communities, similarly support the relevant changes. there are views on whether there are different views on whether to transfer in full, or whether to oblige all communities, read voluntarily opportunity. at first, only those who have the ability to do so in our draft law voluntarily give the opportunity, so that first those communities that have the opportunity

and financial capabilities, and the capabilities in the community, administer everything themselves, then gradually, so that everyone does it, that is, it is a complex reality such a long-term reform that requires clear planning and, first of all, the desire and ability of the community itself. but from the amount of communication we have had with the communities, of course they are interested, especially those communities that care about their residents and about filling their budgets, yes, sometimes it is more work for them, but this is the corresponding effect of work and powers and ensuring their own powers in the communities and, accordingly, better quality for their residents. mrs. galina , we would like to ask you about any additional initiatives that you... know about, which are in the committee, but recently danylo hetmantsev, yes, the head of the committee, so to speak, said that the fops contribute to something there in evasion and so on and so on, what to us

now to wait from the committee, well, i don't agree with the thesis that fopa contribute to evasion when there are such cases, and if there are such cases, i have also heard about such cases, for this there are appropriate tax laws. bodies, law enforcement agencies, and such businessmen who abuse, avoid evasion, avoid paying taxes, avoid official employment of their employees, of course , they should bear the corresponding responsibility, because in our country now, especially during the war, when the country is in the state budget every penny is important and we use all the money for defense, it's about our personal. responsibility, including about patriotism, but you can never put all fops in one row, because there are ordinary natural persons-entrepreneurs, who

have been talked about a lot in recent years, and remember, about a full-scale invasion, rallies, pickets, regarding the installation of cash registers there, total fiscalization, then already during the war regarding the return of fines, checks and everything else, i always divide there are... entrepreneurs who and and always them protect, these are those who work honestly , pay taxes, and accordingly are subject to a simplified taxation system, according to the law, work according to the quotas that are provided for them by the law, unfortunately, yes, sometimes there are cases when some large enterprises can be crushed due to fops, businesses and everything else, and so... this is the most annoying thing here, that because of the fact that there are such, i took data from the relevant analytical centers, there are a few percent of them there, in general, and

because of... the fact that they there is, if already the tax department, and the committee, i don't know, the ministry of finance, law enforcement agencies understand who it is, what kind of dribble businesses are being broken up in this way and arise to avoid paying taxes, so why do they not work properly and do not go to them with inspections, with fines, with closures, with the opening of relevant proceedings and everything else, but only because of... that’s how all the others suffer, i don’t know, 90% of honestly working fops, because often the state is represented by certain people’s deputies, whether it’s law enforcement agencies, here it’s simple, here it’s simply important, what exactly said antin it is about the fact that hetmantsev said that the number of fops began to increase in our country in order to avoid mobilization due to the fact that

the increase in the number. fops is largely related to the optimization of taxes and an attempt to bypass certain mobilization procedures, registration with the tcc during recruitment. that is, we understand that fops have some other procedure, there is no legal norm that would allow an individual entrepreneur to avoid mobilization. there were different conversations and concepts about how to fix a certain level of wages. if you pay a certain level of personal income tax there, there were talks about the fact that your salary is 35 00 and more, there was a concept of a colleague from the economic committee that if you pay 20 00 uah of military service per month and here regardless of whether you are employed or are you a legal entity and pay for your employees, or are you an individual entrepreneur and pay such an amount for yourself or for your

employees, because let me remind you that fopet... also have the opportunity to have employees who continue to submit employee data to the tsc, uh, no, actually, i'm talking about the fact that it's not gives you the opportunity to avoid it, these were concepts and conversations , there are no such norms in the draft law on the mobilization of these norms, maybe such discussions took place among potential... individual entrepreneurs who started to register because they thought, well now we say no again about honest entrepreneurs, and if such cases happened, then about those who in this way wanted to avoid this mobilization, but i think that my position that the number of fops is increasing is actually primarily due to the fact that, well , you see that in time of a full scale invasion

in general, a lot of great. business , which was located in the territory of the east, south and central ukraine, they relocate, shrink, close, many of their employees went abroad, were forced to leave the territory of ukraine in connection with the war, that is, there are a lot of processes here, thank you, ms. halyna , unfortunately, we have to let you go already, the airtime is running out, halyna vasylchenko, people's deputy of ukraine was on our airwaves, and we will now pass the floor to our colleague iryna koval, who is from the news department. prepared fresh and up-to-date information, so we give you iro the floor and actually ask you to tell us what this issue will be about. thank you marta, well, in this issue i will talk about the situation in kryvyi rih and sumy oblast after the shelling by the russians, and also about the situation at the front, so stay tuned.
