and everywhere he spoke about how in order for peace to return to ukraine, it is necessary to stop shooting, and for this we need to stop giving weapons to ukraine, well, what kind of peace plan can we continue to talk about, so now we are moving further from ukraine geographically, if the intelligence of south korea sees that the military-technical cooperation and exchange of weapons between russia and north korea will reach a certain level, then seoul reserves the right to revise... the policy regarding the support of ukraine. he said this during the briefing advisor to the president of south korea on national security jang-ho-jin. according to him, this may also be influenced by moscow's decision to transfer military technologies and strategic resources to pyongyang. the councilor did not provide more information on this issue. at the same time, he also stated that the development of south korea's relations with russia will depend precisely on moscow's actions. but in moscow, you know how

they respond to this, we do not supply korea with anything that could lead to an escalation of tension near the korean peninsula, no, we white and fluffy, and such statements do not apply to us at all. swedish investigators were unable to establish who should be charged with sabotaging the russian nord stream 1 and nord stream 2 gas pipelines and closed the case. he said this in an interview with the times. kingdoms by ulf christerson. according to him, the explosions did not take place on the territory of his country, but in its economic zone. therefore, swedish investigators conducted a thorough investigation. according to its results, it was found that they could not find out who exactly could have committed these explosions, therefore, the case was officially closed. at the same time, ulf christerson refused to reveal any specific results of the investigation. well

, the most interesting thing is that there were explosions in sweden's own economic zone, sweden conducted an investigation, and as a result of this investigation, the prime minister says that they cannot say who did these explosions, or who could be behind them , but in russia today they sang their usual favorite song all day about how they don't know who did it, it's ukraine for money of the united states of america, but... we listen to them now, we move on. the current president of the usa, joe biden, about whom i already spoke today, does not choose his words when he talks about putin. after all, he's just telling the truth. during a speech to his supporters in detroit, michigan, he called the main criminal of the world a butcher. this is how he reprimanded his possible opponent in the presidential elections from the republican party, donald trump, for being the one, during. in one of his speeches he called him

a genius, that is, putin. at the same time, joe continued biden added a quote. no self-respecting us president would ever be putin's dog like this guy, meaning trump. well, no matter what, no matter what they criticize joe biden for his speeches that have been happening lately, but when he talks about... the leader of the aggressor country, which , unfortunately, still remains our neighbor to the northeast of putin, here he is he does not choose words, and he does not forget what to call him, a murderer, a butcher, a butcher, well, in the end, this is exactly what putin is, and he proves it with his actions, he has been proving it for a long time, and in particular for 2.5 years after the start of the full-scale invasion of ukraine, he is the leader of the largest country and... the most respected country in the world, he

is called that. and finally: the tension on the border with ukraine has been eliminated. the self-proclaimed president of belarus oleksandr lukashenko said this during a visit to the territory bordering ukraine. at the same time , he also emphasized the fact that he ordered the withdrawal of belarusian troops from the border, he did this, according to his own words, because the ukrainians had also withdrawn their troops from butsym. well then a short quote from the self-proclaimed: so that they understand that we are not going to fight and are not going to concentrate our armed forces here on the border with ukraine, except for special operations forces. according to him, there are currently no complications with ukraine. and then cringe from the self-proclaimed hryhorovych. a quote, a cringe-worthy quote. no matter how they look askance at us in ukraine, no matter how they taunt us, well , almost... they call us no enemies for

ukrainians, i have already said many times, these are our people, the same people as us , as russian, as russians, we need to come to an agreement as soon as possible. well , to make such statements, we are the same people as russians, and no, there cannot be people like russians, because, looking at what they are doing in ukraine, only non-humans can do it like that, and they prove it by their actions and one more interesting moment, do you remember how, a little over a year ago, at a meeting, at one of putin's meetings, lukashenko arrived, sat down in a chair, made himself comfortable and began to tell him about... what, i'll tell you , from where they planned an attack on belarus from ukraine, already it turns out that ukraine does not want to attack belarus, but what happened to ukraine, or maybe it happened to lukashenka himself, and he may have realized something, that it is not worth bending the stick so much, although in the end,

it is unlikely that he understand. well, that's all for me, in the world about ukraine column, there will be more tomorrow and there will be more in ours. stronger together. your place is waiting for you, the light remains on, for

dinner - what you like, a warm bed is made, there will be walks, swings and swimming. they are waiting for you on your street, in at school, in your church, because in your house they see you in dreams, you are always in front of their eyes, they cry for you, they pray for you, we were surprised, because we knew that you were already somewhere nearby. half the battle is knowing how hard it is to win, and we will do our best to embrace you as soon as possible. therefore, when you are at home, when we

are together, we are more than a family, we are a nation. and what has gathered around you, 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, you need to understand, antin borkovsky and invited experts soberly evaluate events, analyze them, modeling our 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. well, now is the time , traditionally on our air, to find out what's new in the world of money, and who can tell it best for all of us, if not my colleague, oleksandr

morshevka. congratulations, alexander. i congratulate you, i congratulate you, yuriy, and i congratulate the audience, indeed, i will talk about the most important thing, the harvest is now in full swing in ukraine. in the government, that's it there is no money for soft loans, they are going to cut the state program, i will tell you in detail about everything in a moment, i am oleksandr morchivka, congratulations, this is a column about money during the war, well, the harvest was in full swing in ukraine at the weekend in zhytomyr oblast, say the locals, that this year the grain is being harvested from the fields quite quickly. work is boiling, it is nice to see how modern equipment works, and indeed a full ear of corn is standing in the ukrainian fields, but the heat affects the harvest of early grains, but it is not critical, but for late ones of crops, i.e. oats, peas, rye, rapeseed, as well as for sunflower and soybeans, abnormal temperature

indicators are dangerous, acting minister of agricultural policy and food taras vysotskyi said. in odesa, mykolaiv, kirovohrad, dnipropetrovsk... regions , more than a million tons have already been threshed in each region, the average yield, according to the forecast, will be recorded at the level of approximately 45-48 quintals per hectare, and this is what they say: normal optimistic calculations. kharkiv received 13 powerful generators from of france they will significantly help the city during the heating season - said mayor ihor terekhov. he noted that the difficulty was not just to find certain equipment, but to choose exactly what meets the competitive demand and the needs of the city in the conditions of constant russian shelling of the energy infrastructure. but the state does not have enough money for soft loans for

business. the 579 program can be revised - said the director of the financial stability department of the national bank, pervin dadashova. she notes that you can, for example, reduce monthly needs, in particular, restrain the growth of the number of participants of this initiative and reduce the amount of compensation. entrepreneurs, the already existing budget will partially just cover this debt, which is now formed in the credit program. let me remind you that at the beginning of the initiative, loans at 5.79% were available, banks issued soft loans to micro, small and medium businesses in the amount of uah 317 billion, but then, as they say, there is no money, something needs to be reviewed. and... taxis in kyiv continue to grow, but the real income the number of drivers decreased during the war,

the chairman of the board of the association ukrainian, ukrainian taxi association andrii antoniuk told about this, he explains that it is not only a problem in the mobilization of men, who are mainly drivers, and there are also various factors, in particular, the war led to instability in the economy , this caused an increase in the price of gasoline, as well as spare parts for cars. a further increase in prices is also expected due to the increase in excise duties on fuel. the expert noted that now it is crazy, really such an impressive figure. 99% of taxis in our country operate illegally. it complicates the situation. but the consumer sentiment index of ukrainians dropped significantly in june. pessimism touched all the constituents. well, this research proves it. infosapiens, so the euro, people basically believe that prices are going to go up in the long run,

unemployment is going to go up as well, and basically we already saw at the end of last week that the dollar started to rise sharply, so the national currency has wobbled a little bit, the national bank has recorded over uah 40 per dollar is such a record rate from the nbu, i think that the prospect is not up to... of course, are worried, and whether it is necessary to buy the dollar and what is the situation in the economy, we will ask boris koshniruk, the head of the expert-analytical council of the ukrainian analytical center, good evening, good evening, mr. boris, well , really, my colleagues just asked if it is worth buying the dollar now in the summer traditionally, in the summer, well, the exchange rate is more moderate, but i read somewhere... the forecasts of your colleagues, economists and bankers, say that in the fall, traditionally

, the american will only increase in price and may even reach 42 hryvnia pennies, analyze the situation, why now the national bank was forced to set an official rate of 41, now the euro is also becoming more expensive, why, what is the reason, is it the lack of international aid, and we see the gold and foreign exchange reserves have slightly decreased their indicators. what is your rating? in fact, as for the situation with the exchange rate, it should be understood that under normal conditions, before the full-scale invasion, the exchange rate was actually determined by the market, that is, by the supply and demand for currency, and the national bank did not actually interfere in the process of setting the exchange rate, and only they in some cases entered the market, if there were any, let 's say temporarily. destabilization, now the situation is much worse, now the ratio

of market demand and supply, that is, much worse, and it, we have a huge trade deficit, correspondingly , an external deficit, as a result , the exchange rate is completely dependent on the national bank, that is, the national bank can control the situation 100% , he can make a rate of 35 or make 50, and here actually. well, the main claim i have against the national bank, under such circumstances, he will not just say maybe he is obliged to define his exchange rate policy and make it predictable. understandable for the population, business and the government, because as far as i know, even government officials do not know what the national bank is going to do with the exchange rate, and this is completely abnormal, because i emphasize, the exchange rate is completely dependent on the national bank, which is the main seller of currency on the market , well, if you are the main seller in the market, then it is you who determines what the rate will be, and if no one knows what the rate will be, then, accordingly, the one who

knows it, the one who has, accordingly, an insider information, can make good money from it, that is... the nature of the national bank 's corruption is quite significant, and this is abnormal, the rate at the moment is not combative, unfortunately, even after the main phase of hostilities ends, which is several years will depend entirely on the national bank. thanks to external assistance, the national bank can actually intervene on a daily basis, can maintain the course that it determines to be correct, and i, for one, consider it normal that it will... carry out gradually slow devaluation, but it must be predicted and understood, both by the population and by businesses, on the contrary, we see that , despite the decrease, gold and foreign exchange reserves essentially allow selling currency to the market, they are at record levels, why the nbu of this does not do, or does, well , maybe not as you really predict, well

, i see only one reason, corruption, that is, i do not see any professional arguments, i... still, well, in this system, it has more than 30 years direct or apathetic relationship, therefore sorry, nothing but corruption, i have no professional arguments for this, in conditions where the exchange rate depends entirely on the national bank, he is obliged to make it clear and predictable, that is, he can say what he is going to do, he wants to carry out a monthly devaluation by half a percent, by 0.75%, by a percent, he can say, i will do it by half a percent or by... i will carry out a rate reduction there twice a month by a clearly defined amount, accordingly , everyone will understand what is happening. on today's moment, the worst situation, when no one understands what the national bank will do, and i emphasize this, those who have access to information may have the opportunity to make good money precisely on such

unpredictability of actions to the bank, well, really the second topic that i also wanted to hear from you an answer to the question about the growth of the ukrainian economy, the gross domestic product shows growth, the ministry of economy says, but not as much as we would like, and they really rely on the fact that the problem is with energy supply, as far as growth of our economy, it is important to have current, perhaps the problem is that large companies can still afford to buy foreign. due to the strength of the economy , it also cannot spend money on additional purchases of electricity, what are the forecasts for the growth of the gross domestic product, consumer price and pci productive pricing ppi, it is a great pity that they are calculated here, well,

let's say it is very doubtful, i have huge questions about the correctness of their calculation. accordingly, unfortunately, and this is not a wartime problem, this is a problem long-term, we don’t have real ones, ah, it’s actually necessary to start with a professional conversation about how the national bank makes these calculations, not the national bank, but the state, and then the national bank relies on actually, well, the average there indicators and declares that this is exactly what he is basing his monetary policy on, it is obvious that this is absurd. that is , it is necessary to clearly understand, we can only talk about certain trends, it is obvious that if we take the ratio of gdp this year, the first half of this year and the first half of last year, it is obvious that some growth of the economy took place, why? because in the second half of the year we were just able, last year we were able to resume sea transportation of both agricultural

products and metallurgical products, which is no less important, respectively. and there were opportunities for greater export of these products, which means the production of these products, in addition, to a certain extent, the population that left the country in the 22nd year began to return there in the spring and summer of last year, accordingly, the volume of consumption increased, so if we take the indicators of last year, in the first half of last year and the first half of this year, objectively, there is a certain growth of the economy. as far as i can't say, precisely because i don't see the correct calculations of the indicators on the index, as well as the calculation of the so -called, i agree with you here, mr. boris. what is true, but regarding the future, regarding the future, the situation is as follows, obviously, we will have a very difficult second half of this year and the second and first half

next year, at least until the end of hostilities, and then it will take a certain amount of time, while we will be engaged in the gradual restoration of production of power generation, electricity generation, in fact, the situation is very difficult, now they have closed the profile. repair of the power plant, four or five units, accordingly , the production of electricity has generally decreased, the situation here will definitely improve closer to the winter, the current one will be restored and put into operation, and these units of the power plant and the amount of electricity production will increase, but in the winter period objectively, the volume of consumption will also increase, accordingly, the shortage of electricity will be significant, in addition, we will again face this contradiction between. the need to satisfy the needs of the real sector of production and, on the other hand, the needs of the population. thank you. it will be such a very unpleasant

contradiction, because the population will say that the main thing is to provide for people, but in order to restore the economy, we need to create opportunities for the work of the enterprise. thank you for the thorough analysis. borys kushniru, head of the expert-analytical department council of the ukrainian analytical center, was in touch. that's all i can do. to support mr. borys, that ukrainians began to return and spend more money specifically in ukraine. i will remind you that, in particular, before the great war , i often wrote to the national bank that one of the important factors of economic growth is domestic demand and, in particular, our money, the money of consumers, which we spend in ukraine and boost the economy. i will conclude the column about money during the war with this, but a big broadcast is going on, there will be more later. see us. thanks to oleksandr morshevka, my colleague for telling me all the latest in the world of money, as i said, when you know what to be prepared for, you

know what to be prepared for, and you are prepared, and of course, even though the speaker of my colleagues spoke about what awaits us, a very difficult second half of the year may await us, nevertheless, ukrainians are returning, ukrainians are investing money, believe in ukraine, we all believe in ukraine. well, let's move on. a press conference of the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, which was unexpected for the tv channel, took place today. why unexpected? because no one told us about it and we were not invited to it. what was said and what the president said during his speech to journalists. i will discuss this in detail with my guest. viktor boberenko, expert of the bureau of policy analysis. mr. viktor, i congratulate you. glory. ukraine. glory to the heroes, good health to you. yes. mr. viktor, we have about six minutes left, i want to have time to ask you questions and hear your expert answers.

look, the first question is why the president's office is still afraid to invite some funds mass information for such events? the office of the president does this deliberately, and those who do not sing along to the office of the president are not invited. we have a kind of somewhat specific freedom of speech, which was already pointed out to zelenskyi and the allies are pointing out all the time, but it was like that and it will continue like that, that is , you can only say good things about zelenskyi, otherwise you will not be invited, i will repeat once again that it was and this will continue, unfortunately, i want to tell our viewers that... we were not just invited - we were not accredited or we were simply not said that there would be this press conference. espresso tv channel did not know about her. mr. viktor, well, there were a lot of statements, well, not very much,

but there were statements during this press conference, it is impossible to discuss them all now. let's talk about the statement that there may be changes in the government, it is not known whether the prime minister mr. schmegal will be replaced, but that some ministers may lose their positions. do you know any names of ministers who may lose their positions? well, that's it, we know that there are many ministers there is no more, yes, we already have a minister in the ministry of culture, how many are there already , yes, the same can apply to the ministry of youth and sports, i would say the following about this situation in general: zelensky is premature now... he is doing it, it is a false start , because it would be possible to wait until autumn, in autumn there will be many complaints, again where is the light, where

is the heating, where is the heat, and... there will be many, many problems, and then it would be more expedient to remove the government, hang everyone on it dead cats, to say that they did not succeed, now we will change them, because they did not zelensky can be blamed for something, someone must be to blame, and for this someone needs to be hanged like a goat for more sins, a shooter is needed and... now it doesn’t matter, well, shmyhal suits zelensky very well, he has absolutely no ambitions, he is absolutely obedient, just like all the ministers, and someone must be put to death, so that, in order to straighten out the situation, to say, well, everything that was bad is gone, now everything will be only very cool, and then in view of it's a false start, that is, well it is not necessary to do it in july and it is not even necessary in august, it should be done,

well, conditionally... the day before or immediately after the intercession, the intercession was celebrated on october 1, and let's do it then before turning on the heating in the apartments in, well, in the cities , let 's change the government there and it would be logical, now it's illogical to do it, will they change shmygal for someone, well, the question is, will yarmak want to exchange his position as a gray cardinal for... a more legitimate one, well, okay, maybe, but in fact, well, ministerial positions, same place the criteria will be loyalty and readiness , well, how to give a helping hand, yes, and maybe a little carried away, mr. viktor, and i also have a question for you regarding foreign policy, the current ukrainian government, which is quite incomprehensible to me, still remains and has been constantly, please tell me, he

spoke today, i have a vase... of president zelensky about the fact that the second peace summit may await us in the fall, but at the same time he continues to quarrel with some neighboring countries, for example with those that did not support us through coalition governments, why is he like that makes a statement, this is again a mistake, an absolute mistake of the president's office, firstly, how can we negotiate peace without the country of the aggressor, well , it is unknown, there, secondly, he says, we will write such a formula, peace, we know something such that russia will immediately agree, russia will only agree to our terms when it loses the war, so far russia has not lost the war, and what kind of peace summit it will be, if the first peace summit was, well, okay, we talked, it was important, important in terms of what was said about ukraine, yes, and it is necessary, so that they don't forget about us, but to get together again and talk, so what, what? there will be

what will happen, but in the end, if there is a peace summit, in the end there must be peace, that's what i will tell you now, i will announce, there will be no peace with the russian federation, if only for the simple reason that it is written in our penal code , that whoever wants to give crimea to russia, well or anything, yes, this is separatism, and this is what, this is a criminal case, it is from 10 years to life, but the russians have the same thing, so a priori peace between our countries is impossible, it is possible truce. under the conditions it will be, yes, but i think that there will be a truce and we will be seated at the negotiating table, but it will be in march when putin will understand that we have survived the winter, because so far putin is confident that we will not survive the winter we will not survive the third winter of war and we will surrender, i thank you very much, mr. viktor for participating in the big broadcast, viktor boberenko, expert of the field analysis bureau.
