e, the minister of finance announced that during the war, the authorities of the ministry of finance, the government were able to attract up to 1/3 of uah at the expense of the internal state loan bond. apart from that, well, there are other ways, we've already talked to you about taxes, there's a radical way to fight the shadow economy, but i think that... uh, this issue is much more complicated than it seems at first glance. i understand that, uh , all the methods that exist today, they require stricter control, stricter application, especially in wartime, language it is also about the fight against corruption, it is about other methods, including, probably, first of all, the fight against the shadow business, but the fight against the shadow, how much it could bring to the state budget, if it really worked... have the relevant authorities and

the economic security bureau received its reboot, can there really be a significant amount here? oh, listen, look, at the moment we have about 38% of the shadow sector of the economy, if you transfer it to taxes, well, calculate, the state would have up to 1/3 of 700-800 billion in addition the opportunity to get, that is, it is an extremely important sector, extremely, which has... actually, this is the resource that can theoretically be used today to fill the budget, because, well, when we talk about taxes with you, it taxes on whom, who pays them anyway, and you and i understand how difficult it is for business, but to use this resource, to extract at least partially these funds from the shadow economy, this is a very important task today, sir, but what way to extract, what methods are there?

how much for domestic loan bonds? well , in essence, yes, well, look, we have already discussed the work of the bep with you, however, there are mechanisms, let's say, to improve the taxation system to one degree or another, which would maximally contribute to the payment of taxes, we have sectors that are more. that pay well, we have sectors that, well, let's be honest, have a very large share of shadow business, in fact, it is the methodology of tax formation that can create a situation in which white business will have the opportunity to work well and pay more, and shadow business it will be much more difficult to work in the conditions in which he works, well, here we are talking about changes to the tax code, but for some reason the government is going to change... tax

legislation by introducing an initiative to increase the value added tax, in particular for small entrepreneurs, by increasing military levy, which will be a burden for enterprises that directly pay this levy. no, in fact, let's be very clear: the government is following a path that will give money quickly, and it must be understood in that situation that its proposals are proposals, which can fill the budget starting from july 1. we are also talking about increasing excise taxes on tobacco, we are talking about increasing excise taxes on fuel, we are talking about increasing excise taxes on alcohol, that is, this is the easiest and fastest way to start receiving income today. why is this so important? you and i heard the press conference of mr. serhiy marchenko , the minister of finance, who clearly said that even within the limits of those funds that... in the state

budget are indicated as taxes, revenues from taxes and fees, due to the fact that they were large problems with military and technical aid at the beginning of this year, the state was forced to overspend the funds, which then at the end of the year should have been directed to the monetary receipt of our soldiers, that is, today it is extremely necessary to increase these receipts as much as possible, and certainly not for anyone the secret is that each mobilized budget costs millions. uah 3,000, if we want to mobilize an additional 100,000 people, in any case, we need to find somewhere uah 130 billion in the state budget, so these are extremely important issues, well you are really talking about quick money, how much will it affect business, taxpayers, in fact, raising excise taxes on tobacco, alcohol and, in particular, gasoline, well , we will talk about gasoline a little separately, but big tax payers... are in the top -10,

will soon be forced to pay a new excise duty. listen, let's be honest, both vat and excise duty are a big part of the bill. it's a small business tax, it's a tax on you and me, because you and i are the ultimate payers of these expected increases. please look at this one tax of tax proposals, where there is an increase in taxes on the company's profit, no, there are those taxes that will be imposed on specific people, and therefore it is extremely important here to approach these, let's say, the formation of proposals carefully, because... buying any what, you will pay instead of 20% 23 when you and i are talking about value added tax, it will not be deducted from your income 1.5% of the military levy, five, that is, it is a tax on you and me, so i think that

the business in this situation will simply translate it everything is on our shoulders, well, if we talk about consumers, then alcohol, tobacco, fuel, that is, ordinary ukrainians will pay this excise tax when they buy. goods, i understand correctly, so to what extent, how much growth can take place, what figure, raising the excise tax, well, in particular on tobacco and alcohol, and then we will move on to fuel, well, look, when we are talking about the tobacco market, here in general the situation is very interesting, why, because well, this market is one of the few, which sits extremely strongly in the shadows, well, for sure we all know with you what we are talking about and according to official data... er, no, the additional payment to the state budget, er, for the tobacco market alone for the past year amounted to uah 30 billion per minute, despite the fact that the total amount of revenue from excise tax is 80, well, that is, we have to understand how important today is the issue of the correct redistribution of taxes

between different segments of the tobacco market in order to maximally stimulate people to pay taxes and maximally... simplify for them the issue of deciding whether to take, shady products, or to take those products on which taxes will be paid in full, well, the consumer often does not understand where there are shady products, shady products, or buying somewhere in certain small markets, where in fact such shady products are sold, well, this is it is quite difficult for a simple consumer to determine whether there are any recommendations to pay clearly. excisable to buy excisable goods and pay tax directly. look, in reality, the ideology of tax policy formation consists in what is one hundred percent clean, transparent markets, and there are markets in which the level of the shadow

sector is quite high. so the actual stimulation of the purchase of goods from light markets, markets that work 100% in the light sector. there is exactly that mechanism that can allow to increase the receipt of taxes, well, for example, when we are talking about tobacco, there is an alternative to the usual twain cigarette. twain is completely one hundred percent, light market, and when you do a serious enough diversification, the gradation of the excise tax, in relation to twains and in relation to cigarettes, of course. you stimulate the consumer, in the case of lower excise duties on tweens, to buy exactly this type of tobacco products, but why is such a diversification of excises taking place, for tweens one figure, for cigarettes - another, perhaps it is necessary to equalize these products, this is

the tobacco market after all? well, look, you and i are going to europe, however, there is a european directive that very clearly defines the difference between tweens, well, theoretically. it is known that twain is safer for human health, and this, by the way, is also reflected in the tax politicians in european countries, well, for example, the council is interested, you know that the difference, for example, in finland between the excise tax on tweens and ordinary cigarettes, well, the excise on tweens, and there is somewhere on the order of 79 € per 1000 cigarettes, and and the excise tax on ordinary cigarettes is more than €350. look at the difference, if we look at this difference in european countries, it is about 60%, our legislators, our government have approached the difference with those assets, in these excises, well, it is planned

to be set on tobacco per 1000 cigarettes. excise duty to in the 28th year, 90 € is a directive of the european union, for tvenik, it is a little more than 70, well, that is, the difference. small, although i repeat once again, the difference is very large in european countries, i actually gave you the example of finland, in general there the difference is somewhere at the level of 60-70%. and as i understand it, there will be a certain gradation of the introduction of these excise taxes at a certain point in time, i mean until the 28th year, that is, it will be very tax-related, well, just like with fuel, just like with alcohol, that is, we have certain obligations , which are defined by the directives of the european union, incendiary in the same way, we are getting closer to european legislation, adapting to it and implementing directives regarding gasoline, diesel, well , look, i generally think that this hate in

social networks about the increase in excise taxes on fuel is, well, in my opinion, to some extent even the information and psychological operation of our enemy, for one simple reason, let us remember the 22nd year, when taxes and value added tax and fuel excises were completely removed from us, do you remember how much we... in the month of may from the 22nd year, 50 hryvnias per liter of gasoline. how many are we paying today? today we pay, well, 57, 58. this is despite the fact that we have returned all pre-war taxes, 20% vat, full excise tax of more than €200 has returned. so it's not the same, let's not assume that now there is a 10% increase in the excise tax in euros, by the corresponding amount. per ton of petroleum products, will lead to such an increase that directly, i don't know, all goods in stores

will become more expensive. we roughly calculated, and it turns out that such an increase in excise duty , other conditions remaining unchanged, will add a maximum of one and a half hryvnias per liter. so in this situation it is not such a terrible increase, but it will really add additional funds to the state budget. and this is really important, the coffers must be filled, and it is important that the planned tax increase. it will be, well, with a certain gradation until 2028, well, we will monitor it, analyze the rise in prices, if it happens, i will also talk about all this in the column about money during the war and i will thank oleg penzyn, economist, executive director of the economic discussion club, on this i will say goodbye to you, see us. important quite an important conversation, thank you oleksandr, thank you oleg penzin, you should always think

ahead of time, how these or other actions will affect positively or negatively, because you can always make certain decisions, expecting something, and it can turn out completely differently, well, life is quite often and mostly always lives by the laws of mathematics and must calculate efficiently, but efficiently does not exactly work every weekday evening on the air. my colleague serhii rudenko and what will be discussed today in his verdict program, which starts at 20:00, we will now ask them. sergey, good evening, please. good evening, vasyl. starting at 8:00 p.m., we enter our two-hour evening mini-marathon. we will discuss the following topics. this is the possibility of our western partners agreeing to the strikes of their weapons on the territory of the russian federation. why still? "the russian orthodox church works in ukraine, and the parliament cannot pass in the second reading the law on the ban of religious

organizations connected with moscow, and the most important question is why the government is raising electricity prices in the current conditions, or rather not why, but why the government does not explain this increase and does not give an appropriate explanation to the ukrainians", because today several mass media reported that, according to their data , electricity prices for both domestic and commercial consumers have been increasing since june 1 the question is not that the government is raising these prices, why it is a drain on the mass media, why the minister of energy does not come out and say: well, this is the situation that we need to raise electricity prices. c network, accordingly, the price of this electricity will increase. all this

during the first part of our program, which will start at 8:00 p.m., we will talk with two people's deputies of ukraine, mykola knyazhytskyi and oleksiy kucherenko, and we will also have military expert mykhailo samus. with the latter, we will talk about the situation that is developing in the north of ukraine, since both the minister and the supreme leader are the main ones. commander zelenskyi say that the russians are trying to collect a large enough amount there grouping to open another part. front of the northern front, and as far as possible, and again, why these statements are even in foreign mass media, and not reported to ukrainian citizens, in a word, the questions and topics for discussion in the first part are more than enough, and all this will be reminded once again from 20 to 21, at 21:15 after news from our

partners at the bbc, we will be talking politically. experts on the situation in ukraine, viktor boberenko, who lives in sumy, and who can definitely tell what is the current situation in the city, and in connection with all these forecasts regarding the possible attack of the russians on the sumy region, and maksym rozumny, doctor of political sciences. let's talk about the situation that is now passing, obviously, to the great. the offensive of the russians, or, well, at least the predicted offensive of the russians in the north, how our foreign partners are behaving in the current situation, which is what most of our western partners fear when they say that ukraine should not use western weapons on the territory of the russian federation. by the way, it happened today it is known that the total number of states that

allowed ukraine to use its weapons in the war against russia. to hit the territory of russia has already reached 10 countries, about these 10 countries, about why these 10 countries allowed ukraine to wage war on the territory of the russian federation, to hit military facilities located on the territory of the russian federation, we will talk about all this with our political experts, i hope that both maksym rozumny and viktor boberenko will explain to us the essence of the matter accurately enough and as always easily... so we start at 8 p.m. and stay tuned to the espresso channel, vasyl zimi's big broadcast continues, we 'll be on the air in literally 12 minutes. vasyl, you have a word. thank you, serhiy, so at 20:00 the verdict program, and now i am ready to talk about events from the world of sports. evgeny pasthov, he is with me,

evgeny, good evening, please. good evening, vasyl, i congratulate the dear viewers of the tv channel, in a moment we will really talk about... about the second european cup final in the current football season and of course not only about this final. so, today the winner of the uefa conference league will be determined. in the final match, a decisive match in athens, the capital of greece, olympiakos of greece and fiorentina of italy will meet from florence. the nominal hosts are a real sensation of the tournament for oli. this is the first european cup final in the history of the club. the greeks will play not only in their native country, but also not far from their hometown of piraeus. in the semi-finals , the team twice beat the english aston villa, the main contender for the trophy, before european conquests. olympiakos is led by spanish coach jose luis mendilibar, who won the europa league last season with

the spanish sevilla. fiorentina will play in the conference league final for the second consecutive year. last year, the violets wilted under the blows of the west ham strikers, but on the way to this match, the match in athens, fiorentina did not suffer a single defeat, however, the path to the final of the violets was quite difficult, you cannot call it simple. now i bring to your attention the comments of the mentors of both teams before the decisive match. we got here the way we did. and we should not change much, we should continue the same, this true, it's the final and it's different because it's the last game, but we have to be sure of what we've done before and if we understand what we've done, then we 'll know how to act on the day of the final. now we're here, we've done a really good job of making it to the second final in a row, we

've come to the conference league final undefeated, so we've got a lot of confidence in ourselves and... we've got a lot of confidence in our opponents, we're ready to do our best , to try to use the negative experience we had in last season, and this time get a positive experience. well, the final match of the conference league will start at 10 p.m. kyiv time, and the game will be judged by the portuguese referee arthur arthur suarez diaz. and in other news, also about football, barcelona got a new head... as expected, the club officially presented hans dieter flick in this role. the german replaced xavi in ​​this position. the agreement is designed for two seasons. 59 years old. flick is known for his resounding successes at the head of bayern munich, from which he won almost everything possible. however, more serious last year, the specialist remained without a job

after being dismissed from the german national team. under flick's leadership, the bundesteam made it to the world cup without getting out of the group. let me remind you that in the season ending, barcelona remained without trophies, but the team reached the quarterfinals of the champions league for the first time in five years. and ultimately management. decided to point to the door of the legend of the club, xavi hernandez, who, well, not without, let's say, not disgrace, probably left the catalan legendary club, but maybe he will return, at least xavi himself, he already spoke about it probably under a different management of barcelona. and almost at the same time, bayern munich announced the appointment of belgian vincent company as head coach. the agreement with ... the company is calculated until june 30, 2027, while bayern had to pay compensation for the company to england's berlin. berlin under

the leadership of the company was relegated from the english premier league, experts and experts still noted the good work of the 38-year-old mentor. actually, it was barley who took the company to the elite of english football in the season before last. in the coach's chair bavaria company replacements. thomas tuhal. in the bundesliga standings this season, bayern did not even finish second, but took third place, ahead of bayar, who became the champion, and stuttgart. munich did not win a single trophy. there will be revenge. oleksandr usyk and tyson fury will meet in the ring for the second time in a rematch. at least this was officially announced by the saudi minister today. entertainment arabia, turkey al ash-sheikh. it was he who was one of the main organizers of the first duel, and, for according to him, the rematch between the absolute

heavyweight champion of the world in boxing oleksandr usyk and tyson fury is now scheduled for december 21 of this year, during the season in erriad. the world will once again witness another historic battle. earlier, even before the first fight , the media reported that it would be a rematch. rno will take place in the fall, more precisely in october, but obviously, after such a fight by a boxer, the boxers were given time to recover and prepare. let me remind you that very recently, on may 18, oleksandr usyk defeated tyson fury in a title megafight the absolute heavyweight boxing champion of the world . the ukrainian won this victory by split decision of the judges, but in the ninth round fury suffered a so-called standing knockdown. well, this is the end of the sports column, i say goodbye to you and wish you a peaceful, calm evening, but our season continues, so in a moment vasyl winter will continue it. thank you

creating a hat on a special machine. we have a very simple machine, and we use it to knit from a hat, turn it by hand, not here you don't need electricity or anything, there should be 160 kl of circles, that's all, and then we tie it and it turns out a very nice hat, interesting every time. classes for young people are prepared by the head of the center ms. maria, she says, they like to gather together and do something useful. finished products are donated to social institutions, boarding schools, or put up for auction. in the very near future, volunteers will be able to organize an auction and sell this painting on the internet in order to support our military, whose backs we are here. and people with disabilities realize their works in the so-called inclusive shop, thus feeling the value of their own talent and time spent,

ivan haruk from prykarpattia. volodymyr voloshchuk, espresso tv channel. well, thank you for the material, and natalka didenko will tell us in detail about the weather, what it will be like in ukraine tomorrow. i say goodbye to you, see you tomorrow, goodbye. synoptic hello to all, our dear viewers. today, as usual, we will of course talk about the weather is expected for... the next few days, may, unfortunately, is coming to an end, a wonderful spring month, the most beautiful, probably, after all, but nevertheless, we will talk with you first about such a problem, such a spring event, such daily promotions, i would say like mowing the grass, and here people are very divided in their opinions, you know, when spring begins and a hot season, for example, summer, then

there will always be someone who... it is very windy, and someone who is very hot and stuffy, and with grass, but i collected various such thoughts and will share them with you, a you yourself will choose and decide what is better. so, why do they mow the actual grass, critics claim that such ridiculous actions in their opinion only harm the ecology, destroy the flora, pollute the air, and the city itself also wastes resources, and aesthetically, when this grass completely burns out in the sun. of course it's not bad, it's ugly. proponents claim that ticks wait for their prey precisely in tall, uncut grass. allergy. pollen allergy is the most common, it is tall grass that spreads it. weeds are pushed out cereal and flower plants, weaken the sod cover, and harm the fertile soil layer. lawns that are mowed regularly stay clean. unfortunately, the grass is

often tall. turns into a garbage can, there are so many different opinions on this matter, of course, as they say, the middle ground is golden, eh, that's why it 's golden, actually, because it's very difficult to always find some such - ways that would satisfy everyone, well, but we all let 's enjoy the summer grass, green, beautiful, whether it's wet or not, let's move on to the behavior of the earth's magnetic field, tomorrow minor fluctuations, so we don't linger much here. er, we just observe as usual together and move on to the actual weather forecast and tomorrow in ukraine an unstable unstable atmosphere is expected over ukraine and short-term rains will pass in the west, thunderstorms will be programmed in the western part of ukraine, the air temperature will be low 22 24 21 24° heat. in the north, there are also short-term rains and thunderstorms in places,

the air temperature is +25 +20. in the east of ukraine without significant precipitation, but it is not the hottest, +26 +30°, and here it is precisely significant precipitation unlikely, unless some local rains break through, in the central part of ukraine also in some places short-term rains, thunderstorms, air temperature in the central part of ukraine +24 +28°. in the south, for example, especially in odesa region, it will generally be cool, around 22°, in mykolaiv region, kherson region. and also in the crimea in zaporizhzhia +24 +26°, and in the south in odesa and mykolaiv oblasts there will be rain and thunderstorms in odesa, even heavy showers are possible. in kyiv tomorrow there will be short-term rain and thunderstorms in places, do not forget umbrellas, temperature the air temperature is around 24-25°. this is the nearest synoptic perspective. of course , as always, keep an eye out for our updated weather forecasts on the

espresso channel. good evening, we are from ukraine. today in the verdict program with serhii rudenko. exacerbation in the north. russia is preparing an information and psychological special operation to open a new front with belarus. is the russian army capable of launching a real offensive in sumy region and chernihiv region. this winter , ukraine's partners are allocating international aid for the restoration of the ukrainian energy system. or will it be possible to compensate for damaged capacities with the development of green and distributed energy? outright sabotage: public organizations accuse the parliamentary majority and
