tea, it was taken out of context, and it is necessary to pay attention to this context, he said these words after the parliament told transnistria that putin would come, and everyone was waiting with a sinking heart, what putin would say in his message to the federal assembly, let's remember this situation, and here, in the midst of all this expectation, macron comes out and says: and we must also remind that macron has 1,500 of his contingent of french troops. in romania, to date, 600 french soldiers are in estonia, air the space of estonia of the baltic countries is controlled by the french air force. let me remind you, france is a nuclear power, in france, things, and maybe i will pick up, because we have very little time, but we want to show the first graph, which shows what nuclear response russia will receive in an attack, if it resorts to its nuclear arsenal , you see now, this is all that will fly to... from different parts of the world,

if so, and against the background of all this, you see, macron simply cannot stand what is happening in his country, inside the country is being exposed network of russian spies throughout france, expose the intention to carry out terrorist attacks on the opening day of the olympic games, expose the fact that macron personally and his wife are being watched by fsb agents, expose 40 agents who collected pro-palestinian sentiments of the demonstration in france and kill navalny, and against the background of all this, macron comes out and says, this phrase of his about "i do not rule out", yes, it was addressed exclusively to putin, it was such a slap in putin's nose, putin, if you snort, then keep in mind that i do not bury, and i lead your contingents that i have not far away, on the territory of ukraine, this was not a statement for the french, everyone was so frightened. terrible,

actually macron did what we europeans expected from the first day of the war, to have someone say: "putin, calm down, there's a click of the pan, if you're going to do it, we 're going to do it." that is, it was , you know, it was a game of muscles that ended, as we know, no one entered transnistria, no one opened a second front in moldova, and well, i allow myself to think that this is macron's phrase after all , she played the following footage may shock you: news from the scene of the drone attack live, political analysis objectively and meaningfully, there

is no political season, exclusive interviews, reports from the hottest points of the front, svoboda life - frankly and impartially, you draw your own conclusions. events, events that are happening right now and affect our lives, of course, the news feed reports about them, but it is not enough to know what is happening, it is necessary to... understand. antin borkovskyi and invited experts soberly assess the events, analyze them, simulating ours future, every saturday at 1:10 p.m., with a repeat on sunday at 10:10 a.m. studio zahid with anton borkovsky at espresso. good evening, we are from ukraine. let's go back and now it's time to talk about money, during the economic results of the week today. oleksandr, please, have a word, good evening. good evening. thank you

vasyl, in the next few minutes you will find out what was important in the world of money during these days, i will talk about sowing, investments in the defense industry, and you will also find out what important decision was made this week by the national bank. everything in a moment in detail. i'm oleksandr morchyvka, congratulations, this is a column about money during the war, and important information appeared this week. that the european investment bank is trying to expand support for the defense industry on the continent, this will help the european union to strengthen its security, because it is understood that the threat from erefia is growing. this was reported by the bloomberg agency. negotiations are now underway to start investing money in companies that produce defense equipment. this month, the european union announced that it would allocate an initial 1.5 billion euros to stimulate production. but the head

of eu industry, thierry bretton, called on european countries to invest at least 100 billion euros, and the number is enough. prices are no longer galloping, and the hryvnia is holding strength against the dollar, which was essentially unexpected for many experts, but prompted the national bank to lower the discount rate to 14.5% per annum this week. also, the nbu says that this indicator was affected by changes in receiving foreign aid. at the end of march, at the beginning of april, they hope that gold and foreign exchange reserves will be financed. for a total amount of 10 billion dollars, well, they really reduced it by half a percent, this kind of monetary indicator, half a percent is not much, analysts say, but there are now positive steps regarding the stability of the financial system, and ukrainians will be able to use the

action application in the countries of the european union, as a digital wallet, it will make it possible to open a bank account, use an electronic signature, and receive electronic medical prescriptions. from his family doctor, for example, this was reported by the minister of digital transformations mykhailo fedorov. a pilot project is currently underway, the application is being tested as part of such cross-border work, and the european commission should publish requirements for electronic wallets by the end of spring, which will be linked to our "action" application. well, during the year, international private transfers to ukraine decreased by almost 1.5 billion. dollars - this is money that came through banks, payment systems, the post office, and also unofficial ways, they say to the national bank, in total that year the figure was 11 billion 600 million dollars. mostly through payment systems funds came from the states, israel, italy, germany and ireland. vnbu adds that

payment systems were an important main channel for the payment of humanitarian aid to ukrainians from a number of international organizations. well, reforms are needed in the economy, and international partners are expecting them, but so far , as they say, everything has been suspended. ukraine will lose millions of dollars in international aid without reforming the bureau of economic security. people's deputy yaroslav zheleznyak believes. currently , the verkhovna rada has registered several initiatives to change the bureau, in particular the government one the draft law proposes to update the management of this body directly, while the alternative one emphasizes a full and urgent one. re-certification of all employees. restarting the bureau of economic security is a requirement for the further european integration of our country. according to the program with the international monetary fund, the new law on bep must be adopted by july 1. let's listen to the ongoing discussions. reloading

, the draft law has now been sent for a second first reading. allegedly, it already is editorial which is agreed with... our creditors with j7 ambassadors who are very concerned about this issue because the law enforcement system raises the most questions from our partners. we will lose 5.4 billion from the imf, about 10 billion from the european union, the opportunity to go to the next stage of european integration, a lot of money, about 23 billion for... on illegal markets, the price plus 17 billion is already hryvnias for fuel plus i think that somewhere under 50 billions of contraband, well, that is, there are certain financial risks, let's move on, it is actively ongoing

now the spring sowing campaign, in particular in several regions, is already in full swing , odesa is leading, as experts say, but there are also... forecasts: the ukrainian grain association has estimated this year's harvest at a level of slightly more than 76 million tons of grain and oil crops, while in 2023, it was higher by as much as 6.5 million tons, i.e. the expectation, improvement or deterioration is decreasing, the conditions in the spring or summer, of course, can make their own corrections in the numbers, but we see that farmers sow less , predicting to collect less than last year, well, they say: because of the fact that now it is not the issue of blocking the ukrainian-polish border can be resolved, this is important for exports, they also hope that the situation will still improve thanks to the expansion of the supply of grain through the black sea and danube ports, but logistics are still

becoming more expensive, and this is not in the hands of agricultural producers. it will take at least two years to demine the right-bank kherson region, now sappers have surveyed... a third of the liberated territories, destroyed more than 155,000 mines, streamers, unexploded shells, and other explosives, the head of the region reported oleksandr prokudin. over the demining of the region. more than 100 sappers are working, surveying the fields, now 196,000 hectares of land are safe for sowing, winter crops are growing on them, they are already preparing to sow spring, let's listen to the direct language. farmers have already sown fields of barley on an area of ​​100 hectares, and peas on an area of ​​660 hectares, this year the total area of ​​crops is expected to be 153,000. sayari grain and leguminous crops, industrial crops, as well as melons, potatoes and vegetables.

and this week, the cabinet of ministers banned the use of the territory of kakhovsky reservoirs for purposes that are not directly related to its restoration and construction of hydrotechnical structures - said the permanent representative of the government to the verkhovna rada, taras melnychuk. the state geocadastre should now create a map of the territory where the reservoir was, prepare information about these lands. apparently, there are already those who are willing to really change the purpose of certain areas, if the cabinet of ministers faces such a task, well, let's remember last year, well, last year - mostly small areas of the former kakhov reservoir were used by local residents planted potatoes there and, by the way , had a good harvest, we showed this video, well, if we talk about the consumer market, there are certain changes at the place... the ashen stores in zaporizhzhia and kryvyi rih, which were closed at the beginning of march, will appear silpo stores.

this was reported by the company that now owns the shopping centers where ashen rented space. construction work will begin next month. these will be the first new outlets of the silpo network in zaporizhzhia and kryvyi rih, initially a full-scale invasion, reported. this week ukrzaliznytsia. has started online sales of tickets for another international connection, we are talking about destinations to austria and hungary, tickets can be purchased through the carrier's application, however, for the direct kyiv-vienna train, account verification will be required through the signature function. according to yevhen lyashchenko, the head of the carrier, after the implementation of this project, even more of our international flights will become available online. passengers will not have to go to. to buy a ticket, plan your trip, and all this will be significant

easier and much simpler. despite the great war , ukraine got rid of its dependence on russian technology and nuclear fuel. they have always used their supplies to put pressure on ukraine and blackmail. this was announced by the head of the energoatom company petro kotin. let me remind you that on march 8 , i drove to the khmelnytskyi nuclear power plant. the first batches of nuclear fuel, from now on all our nuclear power plants will operate on american fuel, and there are predictions made by energoatom that the khmelnytsky nuclear power plant will be the largest in ukraine and may be the largest in the european union. well, that was the last information from the world of money for this week, i'm oleksandr morshchevka, i'll say goodbye to you, but the big broadcast continues, there will be more to come. look at us, and now i have information for you,

october and november in the southern hemisphere. in general, according to such climatic features, spring is a period, a season with an average daily air temperature from zero to +15°. well, in the spring, the air movement, well, the transfer of air masses, prevails, meridional, that is. from north to south, precisely in the spring, there is still such a day of the vernal equinox, of course we also know very well about it, it comes to us on march 20-22, depending on the year, and the light part of the day becomes longer, the day, so to speak, overcomes the night, the light overcomes the darkness, it has always been like this and it will always be like this, earlier this day of the vernal equinox was celebrated as a new year and this well... it's logical and understandable, and march 21 , by the way, is earth day, and this year i want to say that on march 20 , this long-awaited day of the vernal

equinox will come to us, let's go further and move on to our traditional magnetic subheading storms, now for your attention is a prognostic chart, which shows that tomorrow the situation is quite calm, minor fluctuations, no magnetic whatsoever. no such threatening weather is expected, so we calmly move on to the weather that is predicted for the next day on saturday and then, of course, we will look a little further. so, on march 16 , wet, cloudy weather will prevail in the western regions of ukraine, it will rain in some places, but it will be very warm, +10-+14°. in the north of ukraine, no precipitation is expected tomorrow, nor is the air temperature quite high, +5. +10°. in the east of ukraine tomorrow there will be a dry air mass, the maximum air temperature will be +5 +9 +5 +10°. it can

will drop again a little, but it will not be very cold, so keep a close eye our current forecasts on the espresso channel. good evening, we are from ukraine. welcome to the espresso channel. today, in our war and weapons program, we talk about private defense enterprises that work to ensure that our fighters, which are our relatives and relatives who are currently fighting the enemy, are well protected, well dressed and have reliable communication systems. and he talks about the companies that happened to be related to the city of lviv. with the beginning of large-scale. invasion, the lviv defense cluster was created, which produced body armor, and now the range of products has significantly increased, and another young defense company is called the

chimera company. last year, according to the estimates of the ministry of digital, it was recognized as the number one military startup in ukraine. and already in february of this year from the lviv venture fund united angels network and a number of private investors, including foreign teams. mayor received half a million dollars for the development of means of communication for the armed forces. in the conditions of war, this is a rather unique situation for the ukrainian defense-industrial complex. so the war our technologies to win and the mazes of bureaucracy we must get rid of in order to make a difference on the battlefield. we will talk about this in our next issue of the war and weapons program. my name is serhiy sguryts, i am the information director. steel company defense express, which now , together with spresso channels, strives to highlight the most relevant trends in the life of our defense industrial enterprises. and now

maksym plekhov joins us. chairman of the board of the union of volunteers and enterprises of the defense sector in lviv defense cluster. mr. maxim, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you. good day, sergey. first of all, i would like you to remind our viewers what your lviv defense cluster is doing, what it is producing now, how the life of the enterprises that are part of it has changed in two years. well, what is the current situation with enterprises? today. we can say that these are body armor, this is tactical equipment ordered by the ministry of defense, starting from uniforms, ending with backpacks, unloading systems, summaries, elbow pads, knee pads, there are a lot of other products, new enterprises have been expanded, built, i will tell you that

the situation with khymer is not the only one. the investment has already been built by an enterprise for the production of drones, and the size of the investment is also quite large. today, the construction of two plants in the lviv region for the production of special fabrics for the needs of the armed forces of ukraine and a plant for the production of ceramic cutting elements for the needs of the armed forces of ukraine is ending. therefore, development is ongoing, development is ongoing, today we can truly say, that lviv oblast is gradually becoming such... a production investment pool where new enterprises are being built in order to provide our armed forces with everything they need today. we spoke with you, i think, for the last time in november of last year, and then we pre-estimated what the rules of the game would be in the procurement market, because then it was announced that new structures would be created there, the state operator tstylu, the defense procurement agency, and now the general

assessment, what is needed? to say, that is, it is a completely new structure with a completely new made up of people who have not previously worked in the ministry of defense, specialized departments, they have a very strong desire to do something, can do normally, significantly change, but as always, as a new structure, there were a huge number of problems, starting from mistakes in the fact that a large number of completely incomprehensible one-day companies were admitted, then at the request of the participants... the tender security was returned to the market, the tender guarantees were returned so that there was no possibility of market manipulation, that is , it still works today, the procedures are being carried out, the only thing it should be noted that today there is also a constant ongoing negotiation between the market and the dot, this is the amount of fines, because the dot increased the fines five times, before there were fines for each day of delay, the supplier companies paid

0.1. from undelivered goods, today it is 0.5%. and understanding that we have a lot of problems with the de facto war that is going on all over the territory of ukraine with the situation on the polish border, it is clear that there will be disruptions in terms, so the situation here is quite unclear and critical, because the companies may have big problems, at the same time, that is, understanding that there is a clear understanding of when the deadline for the contract will be, the same... there is also no, so, for example, if a tender is announced on february 1, he says, and the delivery deadline is written in it products on march 30, this is catastrophic, but at the same time, when the company enters the center , it does not understand at all, when it will be given the signed agreement, that is, today there are situations when companies sign the agreement only on march 10-15, realizing that it is no longer manage to meet the deadlines, on the other hand, to refuse deal, it's actually...
