treasury, as well as raising the tax, value added taxes, and also raising the military levy, this is already being discussed in the cabinet of ministers, we will tell you in detail in a moment on the air, i am oleksandr morshchevka, congratulations, this is a column about money during the war and the european business the association asks to make the mobilization more clear and predictable. they say that companies should be given the opportunity to self -identify critical employees for the continued efficient operation of the business. as reported in the association, the issue of finding people is now a key problem there are situations when an employee who is really important for the business model of the company is taken to the ranks of the armed forces, and this not only complicates the company's work, accordingly slows down the growth of the economy, it also on... the company in general until the cessation

of activity, well, we hope that the governments in the government will listen to the proposals of such a truly sectoral association as the european business association, and will in fact, vasyl, book not only some delivery services, as we told you, or some companies, which, in fact, only really pay taxes on time, but are not critically important for... business development, i don't know if you will say, what was the idea of ​​doing, as it were, economic mobilization in the sense of giving certain businesses, enterprises , some load, to do something for the army, well , in this way you also supposedly make your contribution to the victory, but this is basically the transition of the economy to military rails, or you then completely switch to military rails, then big orders, big money come, but we we understand that we have certain limited resources for these orders, so in such situations, so that taxes are paid and the economy lives, because without a living economy, in principle, too... it is

true, vasyl, without a living economy, the budget loses revenues, and here is a gap in the treasury in the amount of 5 billion dollars, this figure was announced by the minister of finance of ukraine, serhiy marchenko. well, he says that for the last six months our state has received minimal international aid, and accordingly this gap has increased, well, in fact, according to the government official, after they unblocked the package of american aid, expenditures in the social and humanitarian direction... are growing, but because of the search for such an effective way of filling the state budget, the cabinet of ministers and the verkhovna rada are already talking to vasyl about increasing the military levy from the current one and a half percent to 5%. well, they say that in this way they will be able to raise revenues, and they are also discussing the possibility of increasing the value added tax, well, if they raise this vat by a few percent , approximately from 70%. up to uah 120 billion is possible,

it can be found in the state budget, that is analysts say, well, you know, the question here is that it is very important to do it wisely, first of all to eliminate, well, to minimize corruption, it will never be possible to eliminate it, of course, and that someone makes a profit, but here it is important, you know, yes squeeze, tighten these belts so that the economy does not suffocate, because the economy must live, even somewhere, it is not the economy, each of us will have to cut ourselves into something somewhere, then that is normal, of course, but so not... so that somewhere, someone would cut themselves, someone would then do some incomprehensible things funds were found, they are talking about tax changes, they were talking today in the verkhovna rada, also in fact the head of the parliament, the head of the parliament does not rule out that fiscal innovations are still possible, let's listen to the direct language, for us it is a question of maintaining the economy of ukraine, maintaining the budget of ukraine, maintaining the ukrainian army primarily through its financing, this is a priority if some

legislative, budgetary, tax changes are required for... needs, the verkhovna rada will be ready to consider them and, if necessary, support them. we hope that and the main creditor of ukraine will continue to finance and support the reforms currently underway in ukraine. the international monetary fund team started work in the capital today. such a statement was made by the permanent representative of the imf vahram stepanyan. discussions with government officials will focus on the risks before. with which the economy of our country appeared. on march 21, let me remind you, the imf executive board completed another review of the cooperation program. this made it possible to pay ukraine 880 million dollars. well, we hope that the analysts will conduct a successful analysis of the work of our government, i hope the cabinet will fulfill its homework, and the next part of the loan under the extended financing program will once again be in the state budget. well

, in the eu, according to european standards, the government is initiating an increase in excise tax rates on gasoline, diesel fuel, and autogas. they say that this is the adaptation of legislation to the norms of the european union, where we are headed. the process of raising excise taxes will last four years, starting from july 1, 2024. we will discuss with the director of the consulting group how much fuel will increase and how it will affect the expenses of ukrainians a95. serhii kuyun joins the conversation. good evening. i congratulate you. mr. sergey, well, i just have a question. this is really a necessity, which, well, is regulated by the european. legislation, or is this a move by the cabinet of ministers to find additional income from excise tax for the state budget? well, of course, the cabinet of ministers in its explanatory note to this draft law writes about the need for synchronization with european standards, but

you already said in your speech that, well, in fact, everyone understands that this is a search for money, and the most important thing is that it seems to me that... both drivers and fuel consumers, they should understand this, because the state budget is the only source of funding for our defense, western partners do not give us money for the army, and accordingly this the question of our survival, and here it seems to me, well, this step was expected, and i can even see somewhere that the government with its populism... there is already starting to finish the rhetoric a little, mr. sergey, so then how much should be expected, well to already be ready drivers and consumers because an increase in the price of gasoline, for example, diesel, will lead to an increase in the prices of

a number of such goods that really depend on supply, what is the gradation, for example, the first step, how many hryvnias will be added per liter? for example, gasoline, diesel, gas, eh, or and and at the exit, how much in four years can increase, well, hypothetically, the cost of fuel, look, there is more noise in reality than that increase, which may or may not actually occur, it is about the fact that the first stage of promotion, well, in general, this one reform, it is designed for four years until the 28th year. and the excise tax rate will gradually increase, the first stage is scheduled for july 1, if this bill is voted on, and there the tax component on gasoline will increase by 1.5 hryvnias, on diesel by 2 games, liquefied gas by 5.5 hryvnias per 1 liter, on

gasoline, for example, if this excise tax were introduced today, i think that we would not see any changes at all. because the purchase price is falling today, accordingly, there is a possibility of just compensation, and there due to a decrease in the purchase price cost to compensate for the increase in excise duties. for liquefied gas, of course, it will not work like that, because there is more ee there, the cabinet of ministers is taking such a drastic step, but again, even after this increase in price, liquefied gas will retain its attractiveness, it will cost about 55, 57% of the price of gasoline, and , accordingly, this means that the one who used it and saved, he will continue to do so, but maybe not in such a big way, well, you mentioned that the increase in price may not be felt by consumers, as far as

well, the price depends on how much oil will cost on the world market, we talked about it with you, how much the value of the currency will really be, maybe it will balance out. if indeed the dollar will not rise in price, oil will fall, then consumers will not feel excise taxes, at the first stage it is absolutely, when we are talking about 1.5-2 hryvnias, you know, in principle, these are everyday market fluctuations, which, well, people often even are not noticed, i will say that in april, somewhere from the end of march to the beginning of may, the price of gasoline increased by uah 5, and gasoline, liquid gas also rose and... i did not see that anyone there was very dissatisfied with this, that is, it is absolutely a market situation that is connected with the increase in oil, which has been happening since the beginning of the year, that is, we are not talking about any about some tragedy, about some

catastrophe and so on, now i see that the media there are trying to inflame this situation, there are forecasts of 75, 80 hryvnias, well, this is exclusively for... the view is simply an attempt to disrupt this program, to disrupt revenues to the budget, to disrupt accordingly, strengthening our defenses, that is, there such an increase that, honestly, there is nothing to say about it. thank you for reassuring me that this is indeed a market mechanism, which in fact should take place according to plan, but the fact that revenues should increase to the state budget, well, this is not commented on. thank you for the conversation, serhiy kuyun, director of the a95 consulting company, was on the phone, and i continue to talk about the economy. ukraine is such a sweet exporter, our country has become the second supplier of honey to the european union. this was reported in eurostat. last year. almost 46,000 of them were sent to the eu market tone of this sweet product,

ukraine was overtaken by china, and argentina rounds out the top three. 10 years vilni choose to fight. ukrposhta presented a limited edition of azov stamps. the set includes a sheet of nine stamps and an artistic envelope, the design was developed by the military of the 12th special purpose brigade of azov. circulation of only 900 copies. the figure is not accidental, because this is the number of soldiers of the brigade who have been in enemy captivity for more than two years. let's listen to the direct speech. for me, as a person, a citizen azov is an example of courage, a strong civic stance, indomitability, and for a former military man, an example of true warriors. i am sure that this brand will remind. to all ukrainians about the heroic struggle, about the heroic act of our

military personnel, about what the defense forces do for our country, well , it will be a really good asset for philatelists, i think that indeed such stamps will continue to be issued by ukrposhta, i myself also collect vasyl, well i think that i will not get to this one, because the circulation... limited, well, maybe it’s always worth a try, yes, we’ll look, i’ll also complete the column about money during the war, but a big broadcast is going on, there will be more, watch us, thanks to oleksandr morchivka, thank you too, at least oleksandr and the expert reassured , regarding the fact that there will be no sharp fuel prices, because of course drivers and people who go. to spend more money, because fuel is more expensive, of course the product that is transported there or something else is more expensive, so while

there will not be such a sharp jump, and that is good, but something will have to be paid extra in view of the needs budget and the needs, first of all, of the front, and what will be discussed today at 20:00 in the verdict program, i will ask my colleague serhii rudenko to tell me, he is already joining the air, serhii, good evening, please, good evening, vasyl in the next hour we will talk with three of our experts, today... they are a colonel of the security service of ukraine, people's deputy of ukraine roman kostenko, political expert vitaly kulyk, and energy expert oleksandr kharchenko. let's talk, in particular, about the situation in kharkiv oblast and its surroundings kharkiv we know that today the russian occupiers dealt a powerful blow to the city. unfortunately, seven people who worked in the printing house died, and... unfortunately, such a story, such stories are repeated every day. what is

putin seeking, what does he want from kharkiv, and most importantly, what will be his further actions. we will talk about this with roman kostenko, and with vitaly kulyk we will talk about the situation in the verkhovna rada of ukraine. there, european solidarity insists that the parliament consider in the second reading a bill that will allow to ban... or one hundred, let's say, to outlaw russian branches, church branches, well, in particular , the ukrainian orthodox church, the moscow patriarchate, as far as it is likely that this law will be passed at the beginning of june, and the president of ukraine will sign it this law, we will talk about it all with vitaly kulyk, well , with our energy expert, we will talk about the situation that is currently developing throughout ukraine. cattle outages, and we understand that now it is only spring, what to expect

for autumn, what should ukrainians prepare for, will there be another increase in electricity for consumers, household consumers, what will happen to prices in general in the country, if electricity prices rise, in short , we have a lot of questions, and we hope that we will also find answers.. . we have for the next hour, we start at 20:00, today we only have one hour of broadcast, so friends, wait, in 15 minutes we will be on the air, vasyl ama's broadcast continues. vasyl, you have a word. thank you, dear sergey. serhii rudenko, wait for fr 20:00, and now there is a big broadcast and of course, it is time for cultural news, and what will be discussed today, i will tell you what we are going to do, silena chechenina, and i will only, as they say, announce my colleague, and music, entertainment

there is musical and cultural, multicultural, because here you can try everything, now there are... there are already many people who want dishes. in general , i want to say that now we are showing you that did you have any impression, this is artzavod platforma, a former factory, these are still fashionable places for various multicultural events, i must say that, after all, in our society there is a certain discussion as to how far... well, here too they collect money at the events, they donate, i don’t know how actively, i hope the organizers will say how much money they have collected, but literally at the entrance there are a guy and a girl with boxes, collecting for the third assault, people

can throw in cash, you can and so on , i will say again that this is true. musicians, well, various musical groups that will perform here, both ukrainian and non -ukrainian, but who loves the threshold of bats, you know, such a group that until recently was considered almost marginal and as such, which is not appreciated by attention, but now on the contrary, they perform very often, there will also be a granddaughter, goe, sky, sasha chemerov, otorvalt, syfer blat, but chiv is performing here now, they have gathered quite a lot, gathered different audiences. hayat has a name, that is, very, very many different musicians, there will also be dances, sports, a separate playground for children, well, in a word, everything is like at such standard festivals, but the real trick here is that modern culture and traditional culture are combined, and i would even say that now, according to the interest of the audience, traditional

culture even arouses a little more interest, maybe through master classes , because it's always interesting to come up to be taught... something, this festival will last until may 26, by the way, the tickets are also, as far as i understand, part of them goes to various donations, so come if you want to be interested in that, i think people don't even get rain here it really interferes with having fun, so until the 26th , the platform festival will continue at artzavod, see the program, familiarize yourself and choose what you want to go to. thank you very much to linia chechania for the announcement of such a wonderful event and the announcement of the inclusion, of course , who has the opportunity to join and it is very important to come not only to listen to music, to somehow
