in fact, this is another sign that, let's be honest, russia is slowly losing its economic sovereignty, that is, this ionization of the economy, if you and i remember that the yuan is a currency with limited convertibility, that is, for example, the yuan cannot be settled , for example, in any other foreign trade operations with another country, neither with turkey, nor with the arab emirates, with whom else does the russian federation trade, actually the yuan is a currency, at best , in mutual settlements between the russian federation federation and china, and for each export operation, for chinese products, which is paid in yuan, an individual license from the people's bank of china is needed, so there are actually quite big difficulties associated with these operations, the dollar, mr. alezh, i am right understand that in this case it becomes absolutely clear why china supported the war. against ukraine, because

this yuanization, which began and is being carried out in russia, is beneficial for chinese manufacturers, and in general for the chinese, the chinese national currency and in general for all of china? well, look, first of all, it is beneficial because russia has a much lower level of freedom related to its external economic activities. well, let us recall a very interesting one. the fact that according to the first, first visits, the russian president formally dictator, in reality, mr. putin, actually visited china, where a very interesting thing happened behind the scenes, the chinese demanded from the russian federation to sell gas to china at domestic russian prices, which, until things, approximately, three to four times, well, there are cheaper rather than the foreign trade prices that

russia offers gas to its partners abroad, that is, this fact is extremely revealing from the point of view that already today china is beginning to demand from the russian federation sufficiently large preferences for chinese companies, well, first of all for the purchase of energy , so please, what i actually said is a slow loss of economy. sovereignty, and we understand that loving sovereignty begins with economic sovereignty. thank you, mr. oleg, let's hope so our western partners will introduce further sanctions against russia, which will be painful for the russian economy, let's talk about the ukrainian economy, because danylo hekmantse has already announced an increase in taxes in ukraine, he said that the cabinet of ministers is preparing proposals to increase some taxes. which fee

and value added taxes, however, it is currently unknown what the new rates will be, he stated this in an interview and the telegraph that he said, sometimes it seems that society is in a paradigm of whether to raise whether to raise taxes or not, but there is no such paradigm in reality, because if there is nothing to finance the army, there will be no shells, there will be no weapons, the russians will be under our capital, for example, or we, in order to prevent this, will still raise taxes and so all together at their own expense. we will finance these shells, - said danylo hetmantsev. do you think raising taxes during wartime is justified? this is a question we ask our tv audience and viewers on other streaming platforms. how do you feel about of this idea and to how the government can create this new tax reality during wartime. tell me, please, will our soldiers fight for free? i think that no,

well, really, well, really, at the moment, someone will provide us with free of charge, well, in addition to military and technical assistance, which we will receive within clearly defined limits, will provide some additional weapons free of charge, no, our enterprises with you military of the industrial complex, which are working today and provide our soldiers with weapons, they will work for free, we have you are absolutely... well, a unique situation, we have a ukrainian military-industrial complex, right? what does it mean? there are ukrainian enterprises that produce weapons during the war, please tell me if there is a possible option when this enterprise, conditionally some one there, which produces heavy armored equipment, produced this equipment under a contract with the ministry of defense, and the ministry of defense cannot pick up this equipment for six months, it is in warehouses... produced, but not

picked up, our european partner allocates 18 billion and millions of euros in order to buy out ukrainian. enterprises for the production of heavy equipment, this equipment and put it in the armed forces of ukraine, because the ukrainian budget does not have money to pay for this contract, is it normal or not, what do you think, of course it is normal, i think, i think not, here is the answer to you, how justified is the increase in taxes, it is not about taxes, it is not about justice, it is about money. i have a question, if there is no money, ukraine will be able to defend yourself from the enemy, from the aggressor? i want to remind you of the famous phrase, er, of one of the french emperors, er, mr. napoleon, who said that war is money, money and

money again. unfortunately, this is absolutely true. that is, at the moment, well, even according to the statements of the minister of finance, mr. marchenko, in connection with the fact that... we did not have military and technical assistance from the americans for the first three months, ukraine was forced to finance at least partially ammunition, to withdraw part of the funds from the monetary maintenance of the soldiers of our boys, who were to be paid at the end of the year, and ammunition in the total amount of 5 billion dollars was to be paid in january and february. tell me, please, where to get the money from... at the moment in order to find the 200 billion hryvnias at the end of the year to pay the soldiers, the sources, that is , the first question is the source, where to get the money? well, our dear people's deputies propose to raise taxes, although i repeat once again, the

funds that they propose to raise in the form of taxes will not even be enough to cover these 200 billion hryvnias, because well... in at best, those taxes will give 70-80 billion there. from where else? well, now there is economic reservation in the verkhovna rada. rightly? no, the bill is not about justice. this is a money bill. because if there is no money, there will be no reason to mobilize. why? one mobilized person costs uah 1,300 per year to the state budget. whether someone likes it or not. we want additionally mobilize 100,000, please, 130 billion in the budget, we want 200, 260, and so on according to the amount, as of today moment, there is a direct deficit of what is not enough to equip those people,

train and mobilize them properly, there is a shortage of somewhere between uah 500 and 700 billion, where to get them, our partners. they provide us with macro-financial assistance with strict restrictions, those funds cannot be used for security and defense, and it is good that they give us this money, because we use it to finance social expenditures, pensions, salaries of state employees, help for pensioners, well, in the end , there are 350 billions of this money goes to the pension fund, that is, they withdraw from us would be this burden, but everything that we earn goes to the war, that is, everything that we can invest in the state budget, based on the economy of ukraine, so the question is whether taxes are fair or unfair, well, you gave mr. hetmantsev's statement there, no matter how controversial it is, this is an expression, but unfortunately it is true, there will be no money, there will be no defense for

ukraine, that's all, you already mentioned, mr. oleg, about economic reservation, there are already two alternative... draft laws , who are in the verkhovna rada of ukraine regarding the reservation of conscripts, a member of the committee the verkhovna rada on national security, defense and intelligence, fedir vinislavskyi, in an interview with radio nv, called the issue of economic defense very difficult, because on the one hand, it puts the final equality of citizens before the law, but on the other hand, it allows significant funds to be spent on the wall. let's listen to what venislavsky said. if we are discussing economic reservation, then we are talking about... precisely the flow of this money from the shadow sector, from bribery, from corruption components, to the legal sector of the economy, because if a person will understand, that she can pay certain taxes and fees, and this will allow her to work, perform

important social functions, including ensuring the economic development of the state, and she will not be mobilized, because this coincides with her vision, then for sure here, well already there is a question for discussion. mr. oleg, when we talk about detinization of the economy, how do you assess the current state of this shadow economy, its volume? well, before the war it was 32%, now it is estimated somewhere at 37-38%, the shadow sector, there are clear calculations that the state, the state budget does not receive approximately uah 8,850 billion in the form of taxes and fees and the shadow economy, well, to completely transfer the economy. there is light in the wall, well, it is unreal, there is no such

precedent in the light, there is a shadow economy in any society, but there it occupies somewhere around 10-15 percent at most in developed democratic countries. the shadow economy includes semi-criminal things related to the drug trade there, weapons there outside the limits of the law, and so on. you and i are sitting in the shadow sector absolutely legal business. who simply stupidly does not pay taxes, and i agree with one of the people's deputies who said that if you owe the state budget 100 hryvnias, you made a donation of 100 hryvnias to the armed forces of ukraine, and the last one was not paid to the budget, then this means that you stole uah 900 from the armed forces of ukraine, so that no one has any illusions, unfortunately, this is the deep truth. and economy booking, what are the specifics here? firstly, economic reservation, which

is planned today, it should be carried out by enterprises in relation to employees legal workers who work for them, that is, the person himself cannot pay a conditional amount and receive an indulgence for mobilization for a month, this... should be done by a legal enterprise, which, in addition to this type of payment, makes other types payment of value-added tax, other income taxes, excise duties, if it is excise goods, and so on, i.e. thus, by making business interested in the fact that they are in the light and keep their employees, such a system of incentives is introduced. in the form of economic reservation, and one more point, i

hear often enough that the poor will be bought off, the rich will be bought off at the expense of the poor, i have a question, please tell me, the person sitting on the payroll in the enterprise, is this a lot of people or no, well , really, we are talking about the fact that the reservation will be made by the company in relation to the employee who works for it, is this employee a rich person or not? if he lives from paycheck to paycheck, where is the wealth? rich people are owners businesses, and those people who work in businesses, as employees, are the ukrainian middle class, which actually bears the entire burden of the tax burden, by the way, one more point, you and i discussed a little beforehand the issue of raising taxes, then let's remember what specifically our people's deputies want to raise in the form of taxes, to increase them by three? conditional on 3% value added tax, who is the final payer of this tax? business? no, it's you and

me. increase excise duties on tobacco, alcohol and fuel and lubricants? who is the final excise tax payer? we are with you? is it the fact that the business income tax is increasing at the moment? no, the taxes on the final consumer, that is, on you and me, that is, on the big account for today, are being increased ... the entire burden of the future tax burden is placed on our shoulders. thank you, mr. oleg, for the conversation, it was oleg penzyn, economist, executive director of the economic discussion club. dear friends, we continue to work live tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. today we ask you whether it is justifiable to raise taxes in time of war. please vote on youtube, yes, no, or if you have your own opinion, please leave it in the comments below the video. if you watch us. on tv , pick up your smartphone or phone and vote if you think a wartime tax increase is justified. 0800

211 381, no 0800 211-382. all calls to these numbers are free, vote at the end program, we will sum up this vote. ihor romanenko, founder of the charity fund we will close the sky of ukraine, retired lieutenant general, former deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, mr. general, i am from... thank you for being with us today, i congratulate you, first of all, tell me about the last time, since our western partners announced that they were giving permission to strike. of its weapons on the territory of the russian federation, how it changed the course of the russian-ukrainian war and whether it changed the course of the ukrainian-russian war, and most importantly, how does this open up prospects for the creation of a buffer zone at the expense of the territory of the russian federation, bordering or bordering the ukrainian state? well, yes,

they have not changed significantly yet, we are at the beginning of this, then we need to figure out what they... provided, that is , the americans and germans provided artillery at the same level, this is up to 40 km barrel artillery and up to km, haimarsey. in addition, patriots on the territory of the russian federation still, even then, the americans gave this kind of permission, so when they established a record of 5 minutes, five aircraft, they definitely prohibited after that and threatened, which they actually did. they did not supply us with missiles for these complexes , the heaviest ones, we need missiles for the proto -missile missile defense complex, so for them it is not very important, but the work continues on this, and there is a corresponding perspective, the russians are trying to draw new features around this , so, well,

to threaten that they will... create such buffer zones as in the kharkiv direction, on in sumy and in chernihiv, here, well, here the americans, if they were already aware of all this, went to the meeting, so gradually, well , once they uttered the word victory for ukraine, it was very difficult, they were silent for two years, somehow they couldn’t speak, and now they said that the goal of our joint actions is the victory of ukraine, before that... they did everything to help the russian federation not to lose and ukraine not to win, and now they are starting somehow, maybe, but we are in our words, it is like that the thing is, they taught us too we taught them to say "victory is ukrainian", they couldn't even decide something like that, but now i think we will teach them to fundamentally change the strategy related to the provision of aid, that is, it must be

modern, well, weapons, which are so military, but with the component... fast, how are they trying to deliver it to taiwan, israel, that is, we were in this team, we waited for six months, but they helped israel during the pause, the f-35, it is far from the f-16, and the bombs of two types, but ta taiwan, their secretary mcfaul of the congress on security, says that it is we will not help, like the old weapons of ukraine, but we will be modern, that's how you relate to ukraine. and therefore, it means that we need to look at it, approach it pragmatically and increase our efforts regarding what the eyes allowed to shoot, let them shoot everything in the 16th, they have six months, so it is they who hold it, no one else, there were problems, there are, and will remain when 10 planes come in, and 40 and 100, these, they, because it is a war, but it should

have started six months ago, this is, first of all, removing permits for filming. gripe bans, which are better for our conditions, for the swedes, instead of banning them, the program prevents them, that’s why the f16 prevents them, which still doesn’t exist, what prevents anyone, that’s what prevents them from training our pilots, they train thousands, but for us there are 12 pilots themselves they are trying to solve this problem and, again, denmark and romania are also artificially banned. they find that denmark is moving to training in 35, so they cannot teach romania, that they no longer know what to invent to slow down these processes by teaching, well, it’s like a rocket launcher, they have dozens of them, and they can’t decide where to take the second patriot, they tried to take their anti-aircraft missile complex

of the us army against the poles, territorially, which is in the hands of the poles, the decision was made by the american president, and the president... duda corrected him, said, no, this will not happen, and it did not happen, here the relations between our allies, the strategic and relation to ukraine in this regard. on the night of june 18, mr. general, explosions rang out in crimea, russian media reports that air defense was operating, in particular in the kirchi area, the crimean bridge was blocked, aircraft were launched from the belbek airfield, the russians hardly use the crimean bridge. for military logistics, says the spokesman of the navy, dmytro pletenchuk, because, therefore, its destruction, it is implied, of the crimean bridge would not have the same effect now, less than a quarter of the total. the load is carried by this bridge, the rest goes along the ferry crossing, which was recently attacked, so this bridge

no longer has such tactical and strategic importance after the damage it received as a result of a joint operation by the sbu and the navy with a drone attack by drones. at the same time, an analyst frederic mertens of the hague center for strategic studies in an interview with business insider suggested that with regular strikes on russian air defense in... tremu, ukraine is preparing the ground for future airstrikes after the arrival of f-16 fighter jets, i quote mr. mertens. crimea is vulnerable. the russians have relatively limited room for maneuver on the peninsula, and putin has a lot to lose, both politically and militarily. therefore, if a limited number of fighters can have a real impact, it is here and over black by the sea, which becomes fully accessible after the air defense problem in crimea is solved. mr. general, what is your forecast... for the deployment of hostilities in crimea, on the crimean peninsula, especially f-16 strikes

on military infrastructure, it is quite widespread and large in crimea, how quickly can this happen and what result will we achieve? well, first of all, this is happening, in relation to the kerch bridge, it must be said that it is being exploited to its potential. only by a quarter, but this does not mean that it is impractical to at least damage it to to cut this logistical artery in general, this is a military and logistical violation from the point of view, from the point of view one must have a political one, that is, what sacred significance does this have for putin, he must be prepared, because you see, as he makes the statement, this special needs to be beaten out of him , and therefore remember that it is important... for all our ukrainian people to stop this illegally built bridge, but the question is with smaller means, which we now need

to use, including to shape, temporarily close the sky above in the occupied space over the crimean peninsula, and this is happening, as we can see, location stations are fighting, anti-aircraft missile complexes are fighting and... the anti-aircraft complexes of the old park, let's say, well, c300 for sure, c400 is a modernization, if only, they don't cope , for example, in the work on ballistic attacks, it is like tactical missile ballistics, and so, but the russians react to this and start a new s 500 triumph, in order to somehow react and shoot down, besides, these complexes do not see, we we strike with drones, there is a small... surface for reflection of energy, that is, it is hardly noticeable, and therefore they get there both by attacks and by our drones, the result is achieved,

we further reduce the potential of anti-aircraft missile defense in crimea, that's for sure, well, not only in crimea, on some objects, so to speak, the continental part of the russian federation, but the topic of crimea is a separate strategic one, we mean that it is planned... the closing of the sky and the general transformation of this, as they say, the unsinkable aircraft carrier of the russians, or their fortress, means that if the aircraft carrier and the fortress should be ours, and we need to work on this already this year, so last year we had significant changes and achievements at the strategic level at sea, and now this year, the year of strategic changes in the first place. over the crimean peninsula, but it is definitely necessary to normalize at the front. thank you, mr. general, we have to finish the program, it was ihor romanenko, retired lieutenant general.
