we now have time to talk about money, and my colleague oleksandr morshchenko is already in the studio. greetings yura, we will talk in the next few minutes about excise taxes on fuel, which awaits us ordinary consumers. viewers, wait, everything in detail in a moment. i'm oleksandrevka, congratulations, this is a column about money. during the war, today we are talking about increasing the excise tax on fuel, how it will affect you and me, ordinary ukrainians, business and, in general , filling the state budget. i would like to remind you that the verkhovna rada passed a draft law on increasing the excise tax on fuel. the law enters into force on september 1, and they say that bringing excise taxes to the european level is necessary, and this is a kind of demand of the international monetary fund, so that ukraine really... looks for ways to fill the state

coffers, at least by raising taxes. in detail, how this will affect the market, we will talk with yevhen minichenko, the director of the supply and sale of petroleum products, the company with foreign investments amik ukraine. he joins us in the conversation. good evening. good evening, good evening. mr. yevgeny, well, this really lasted, long discussions on this issue, and various experts said that... that this is essentially a norm of the european union, we are moving towards the eu, and the adoption of this bill is important, but how will the increase in excise duty on auto fuel affect the retail price in the market? well, i would like to say that there is no clear fixed value of the change in this price, so the ceiling after the excise tax increase, in comparison with today's prices, is somewhere to add 1.5-2 games. on diesel

fuel, but first of all, the cost of fuel is influenced by the price, price conjuncture, price, world prices, etc. if the price of oil will decrease, the quotation will decrease, then we have every chance to come out with the same prices on september 1, and maybe even cheaper. uh, that's why i believe that, taking into account the trends and dynamics of changes in global quotations, we have every chance not to even feel it. well, we have seen recently, in particular against the background of a decrease in oil reserves in the united states, the states, black gold is becoming more expensive, that is, how quickly the increase in the price of barrels will be reflected in the domestic ukrainian market, madam. well, this process is constant, because,

for example, yesterday oil decreased a little from statistical data from china, today it is increasing a little, it's all in dynamics, but as a rule, about three weeks pass between how the price changed in the world markets and how it affects ours, because i will explain why, because considering that we now import all fuel from neighboring countries, and even not only from neighboring countries, the united states of america, kuwait, and sweden, because the geography of supplies is very large, that is why i the process is stretched over time, and some the goods are on the way, some goods are stored in warehouses abroad, so these fluctuations, so to speak, may not increase, well, but the price is not affected by... only shipping, but also the exchange rate,

tobish, if the rate will decrease, proportionally the ceiling price for the consumer will decrease. well, you touched on the exchange rate, in particular, we know that the euro has been rising rapidly in recent weeks, already over 45 hryvnias, if i'm not mistaken, they ask for euros in exchanges, but how did you explain that the increase in oil prices is really possible there? within several weeks, several months to affect the price, and how such sharp fluctuations in the exchange rate will affect, no one knows which, how much the euro will cost, for example, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, for example, last week the dollar added 25 kopecks or more in just one day, well, kors is precisely that component of the price formula that affects directly and quickly, because its payments , including... excise duty, customs clearance

of goods, we bind ourselves under the euro, and payments to our foreign partners to the company's traders. which supplies this fuel to ukraine, we pay at the current exchange rate, so the influence here is even, i think, more than what i mean in time, in time faster than changes in world market quotations. but if we return to the specific excise tax, will all this tax fall on the shoulders of consumers, or will the networks distribute it? in some way, er, i think, i will repeat again, that taking into account the formula pricing of oil products, if oil will become cheaper, the exchange rate may also become cheaper, that is, the consumer will not even feel this,

given the great competition, as in the domestic market between gas station chains, as well as the competition of traders who supply fuel to ukraine, i mean also... foreign ones, then, for example, catapults, fuel premiums at the beginning of the full-scale invasion reached $200, $250, then now this number has decreased by almost three times, so there are many components that , let's say, fuel suppliers, fuel sellers take on themselves, mr. yevgeny, and here we have it, you can see on the shelves, yes, that the rate is changing. styles are basically the same, the price doesn't change much there is a lot of competition, and if the price formation continues, how did the purchase of fuel change, after such a real crisis in 2022, when it was really necessary to quickly reorientate, make large purchases,

so that the market was dormant, and at the same time the price was maintained, what is the current strategy , how are your networks working, well our miku energy network is working. already for almost 2.5 years with foreign partners, if at the beginning, march-april 22, it was supplies in general by road transport, there was almost no railway, now the majority prevails deliveries are made by rail, sea transport, road shipments are also available, because they require, they are... faster in delivery, yes tobish, if the same railway goes there from a week to three weeks depending on the geography, where this product is coming from, it happens quite quickly with gasoline trucks, autonorms, plus we have signed long-term contracts with our partners, so we

are sure that the resource will come to the country and it will be in the required scale and volume, even, even if if you take april, may of the current year, there was even a surplus for the diesel fuel product, we are talking about the 22nd year, about this crisis, and in fact, at that time experts actively recorded the growth of the shadow market, in your opinion, this is the rise of excise taxes activates dealers regarding the black market of fuel? i believe that we should not talk about the activation of the shadow market. mining, because the shadow market is not the payment of taxes to the budget, since we, our country, are fighting the enemy, then the completeness and timeliness of paying taxes is an obligation not only business and citizens, therefore the increase in excise duty is a tool for filling the budget for

our defense capability, the defense capability of our country, and in general it is the task of administrators, let's call it that, to control... this process to administer the completeness and timeliness of payment of these taxes, we are with you mentioned, if we return to the quality of these tuna deliveries, quality, quantity, then i think that the consumer himself is not interested in such, well, gas stations, purchases at such stations, well, and quite briefly, i will ask you to mention about autogas, we said that on average one and a half per liter of gasoline can add a... with autogas, and with autogas there will be, so to speak, a little significant increase, but still it remains competitive, and in general, if you take it in numbers , yes , today a liter of gasoline

costs uah 55 on average, while a liter of gas costs uah 28, after the change in excise taxes there, it can be added . 7 hryvnias, and maybe, again, if the quotation, the currency goes down, then this figure will be much less. thank you for the clarification, really reassuring. a little consumers and such a perspective was introduced to fill the budget, this is an important component, in fact, now, especially for financing our defenders, evgeny vinichenko, director of the supply and sale of petroleum products of the company with foreign investments amik ukraine, joined the column about money during the war, i i will put an end to this, see us. thanks to oleksandr morshitsa, it was money during the war, but now at this time i always have the opportunity to ask my

colleague serhiy rudenko, the author and host of the verdict program, which will be broadcast at 8:00 p.m. immediately after the big broadcast, however, what he and his guests are going to talk about today. sergey, i congratulate you, and what are your main topics today? greetings yura, today the main topics are related to detention. loyal killer of iryna farion, today an 18-year-old youth was detained in dnipro and he is suspected of murdering iryna farion, well , the most important question in this story, of course, is not only who killed iryna farion, who ordered this murder, because yesterday several telegram channels, led by the russian nazis, information has emerged about what exactly they are organized the murder of iryna. marion, and obviously, both the security service of ukraine and the ministry of internal affairs of ukraine must give clear answers to who

ordered the murder of iryna farion. today's guests of our studio are mykola knyazhytskyi, people's deputy of ukraine, military expert oleksandr kovalenko and diplomat and expert on international issues, oleksandr khara. let's talk specifically about the farion case, about why now poles from... are linking ukraine's accession to the eu with the so-called volyn issue, and of course the topic of banning the moscow church in ukraine, one of the main topics now in ukrainian society, because we are talking about an enemy church that operates on the territory of the ukrainian state. we will talk with oleksandr kovalenko about the situation at the front, and with oleksandr khariya we will talk about dmytro kuleba's visit to pynde. besnoy, the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine held talks with the minister of foreign affairs of china vani,

the talks and the versions of what kyiv and beijing actually say are somewhat different, because the ukrainian side says that china supports the state sovereignty and independence of ukraine, and beijing says that the ukrainians are ready to sit down at the table of changes with... the russians, what actually happened in china these days and what agreements the two sides reached, we will talk about all this with oleksandr hariyu, well, after a long break, the current president of the united states of america, joe biden, finally appeared in public and explained why he refuses to participate in the 20-24 elections and why his choice fell on kamala harris. vice president of the united states of america, i hope that together with mr. hara we

will analyze in great detail the situation that is developing right now on the eve of the elections in the united states of america, and most importantly, how it will affect the future of ukraine and the world. this is how our verdict program will be today, we will be on the air for only an hour from 20 to 21, in 17 minutes we will start ours with our guests. program, you, friends, stay on the espresso tv channel, the big broadcast with yuri fizar continues, yura, you have a word. thank you sergey, well, don't forget, at 8:00 p.m serhiy rudenko and his verdict, today is only an hour, but it will be very interesting as always. yes, well, i will now offer you a plot: whether social facilities are accessible to people with disabilities, is being tested in kirovohrad oblast. among the activists are disabled and blind people. the biggest obstacle for their full life is physical barriers.

our journalists saw how many shortcomings were discovered in the village of kompaniivka. the most acute issue of accessibility, activists say, is in towns and villages, so we went to check in kompaniivka, what 40 km from kropyvnytskyi. monitoring. from the village council, in the same building of tsnap. at the entrance there is a ramp and a call button, then you have to go up the stairs, the toilet is on the second floor, the door is too narrow for a person in a wheelchair. has warning and direction signs for the blind, you can enter and immediately understand that the toilet is not accessible to groups of people with limited mobility, first of all, the width of the door, and even an adult person cannot pass here, then we go straight to the

veterinary medicine technician, there is only a ramp steps, there are no hints for people with... visual impairment, the doors in the classrooms are narrow, steep stairs lead to the shelter, the passage is also narrow. the bathroom replaces the bucket. this room is not suitable for groups with reduced mobility, despite the fact that this room is only for 30-30 people. the social security administration was checked. the ramp here is too steep, the railing is too wide for a person to hold on to. on the approach to the ramp, there is an emergency damaged pavement. there are no elements on... and the tactile tile, the call button does not work. andriy kishavar says: accessibility is an opportunity to get by without outside help and feel fully capable. no need for pity - says the man, it is necessary to create conditions for people with disabilities. first of all, the speed, how can i go home, to work sooner, how is there a tactile

tile, a voiced traffic light, i will repeat it again, it is more convenient. no outside help is needed. the conclusion of the monitoring is disappointing. the companionway for people with disabilities is uncomfortable. activists submitted their recommendations for improving the situation to the local authorities. what we saw was deep sadness. absolutely buildings, no adapted so that people with disabilities can come and receive certain services, get quality, affordable education. you see, the approach. which is created in the community, we have a small number of people with disabilities, you understand, quite mentally people think, you know, how 100 years are thrown back in the middle ages. now it hurts when people in the war come without limbs, but in kirovohrad oblast, little has been done for people

with disabilities and for our heroes who came from the war in wheelchairs. yes so now this is a glaring question that the authorities should ask us, they agree with the conclusions of the activists in the village council, they promise to work on the shortcomings, there have never been such cases when someone did not get into our premises, sometimes babushka comes, give me a hand, i do not can i leave, please, we didn't have such problems, and we didn't have any appeals in this regard, that anyone, well, how come... we provided help so that there was no appeal to the management of the village council, there was not and there will be no appeal. in six months, the monitoring group plans to return to kompaniivka. activists hope that their recommendations will be taken into account. according to the regional military administration , more than 36,000 people with disabilities live in kirovohrad oblast. from

kropyvnytskyi for the espresso tv channel. well , it's good that they do this in kirovohrad oblast. well, in particular. had in this settlement, but i would very much like to see this done in other settlements of ukraine, because i personally know how many places in the social sphere it is sometimes very difficult for people with disabilities to get to just because they have no way to get there, no have the opportunity to get there, and the city authorities are simply doing something, for example, creating ramps at such an angle that it is simply difficult to get even a person in the disabled army there. speaking of the fact that the person himself can go there, i really want as many populated places as possible to have such convenient access to social facilities, i really want and i really hope that this will be the case. well, i urge you to join the fundraiser, before

the fundraiser, the espresso tv channel and the vesna charitable fund opened a fundraiser for the purchase. modern drones and electronic warfare systems for the third separate assault brigade of the 110th and 47th brigades of the armed forces. the defenders in the donetsk direction receive daily weapons , deter enemy attacks, defend our freedom and future. it was these soldiers who stood to the last and defended the avdiiv direction in the spring, so there were a lot of losses and resources need to be replenished. they urgently need weapons and modern means of countering the enemy. drones, these technologies are critical to protecting our soldiers. our goal is uah 3.5 million. remember, each of your donations brings our victory closer. together we can protect. those who protect us. dear ukrainians, we are soldiers of the first assault battalion of the third separate assault brigade,

who defend our native land on the front lines, and we urgently need your help. we need means of radio-electronic warfare against the enemy's small bpolas and komikaji drones. we are very much asking for your help, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes. glory to the heroes, the boys urgently need our help, friends, let us join this collection and close it as soon as possible so that such important for our defenders and our defenders of drones could get to the front line as soon as possible, it is only 3.5 million hryvnias, so someone can tell me that 3.5 million hryvnias is a lot, no, there are a lot of us, if we each at least in hryvnias, we will throw it at the card number that you saw on... on your screens or with the qr code that you saw, then we will finish this collection very quickly, and the drones will very quickly get to our

defenders on the front lines, so please i am begging you to join me, and i have some very interesting information for you today i got there, i just couldn’t resist telling you about it, it’s from our neighbor, uh, russia, right there in the ryazan region, well, it’s relatively close to us, our drones fly there, and it was stolen there local residents, the 60-ton railway bridge of the compound feed plant, it happened in the skopinsky district, it was simply dismantled by local residents, it was dismantled for a long time, but at the same time, everyone says that no one saw how it was dismantled, the interesting thing is that it is simple. .. some kind of surrealism, that's exactly what it is local residents used to get to the bridge, it was, it was their crossing, and people constantly got to neighboring settlements, well

, it was considered that it was a short way, that is , they dismantled it, they got some money, well, or they will get it after they hand over the scrap metal , and then they will raise questions with the local government about the fact that we need a bridge, let's build us another bridge, but the local government has already... said that the damages from this bridge demolition amount to 300, yes 300 million rubles, they have already written a statement to the fsb, the investigative committee, er, the police and even there opened a whole criminal case, the local residents are charged under the article, i will even quote it to you now, theft on a particularly large scale and negligence, i just really like it, i just really like it, especially in the big section . stole a bridge - this is theft on a particularly large scale. well, i've already been joined in the studio by the incomparable natalka didenko, who will talk about what to expect from the weather tomorrow, and

possibly for the weekend. natalka, congratulations to you word. hello, yurochka, i welcome all our dear viewers, and of course we will talk not only about the weather, as usual, but about all kinds of interesting and tasty things, literally in a second. before we talk about the weather that is expected for the next day, there will be interesting moments, such interesting nuances, by the way. let's talk today about corn, i recently went a little further outside kyiv, drove past our wonderful fields and noticed that an incredible amount of corn grows here, well, i myself love it very much, especially now such the season, somewhere it is sold, these luxurious cobs, we all remember how java iren used to hide in... once, all volodanestaika, the famous toridors from vasyukivka, there is a lot to talk about to ukrainians regarding corn, but we will contact you as usual, of course

to the history and appearance and emergence, in mexico it was corn that was domesticated and they began not only to collect it there, but to grow it specifically, but by the way, the corn of that time was not at all the kind that we are used to now, for example, imagine the cobs of that time. so modest, the length is about 4-5 cm, that's it just an anecdote, you can say, but it was such a great-grandmother of the current corn. after the discovery of america, corn was brought to spain at the end of the 15th century, it then spread further across europe and, of course, to us. well, about 2/3 of the world's corn production, which is the answer to my question, why is there so much, is grown for animal and poultry feed. there are many animals and birds in the world, well, of course, this is a very popular grain, fodder, technical crop, and in ukraine it is also grown mainly as a fodder crop, only, that is

not only... we like to eat ducks, but its grain is very valuable and it is a concentrated feed for all farm animals and poultry, well, we all love corn, it is a very valuable crop, as we have already understood, and actually creates very beautiful scenery now, well we are moving from such a respectable corn to magnetic storms and now for your attention... an agnostic chart from which we will see that tomorrow we will see an activation of the earth's magnetic field, especially as you can see at the beginning of the day in the morning , because who reacts, feels that he is reacting to such changes in geomantic activity, please be especially attentive to your well-being tomorrow, that is , tomorrow there will be magnetic storms, and actually we are now moving on to the weather forecast for the next day, and we will now see what

the weather is like ... will differ in different regions of ukraine, and we will traditionally start with the western regions, and i want to say that the weather will be the freshest in the west tomorrow. now we will also see maps with you, and therefore, in the western regions of ukraine tomorrow short-term rains and thunderstorms will pass, but the air temperature is the most interesting thing, 20-25°, this is the maximum, that is, it will be possible to freeze at night, because at night in the west it is +12-+16°. in the north of ukraine. the air temperature tomorrow will also be quite comfortable in zhytomyr region, kyiv region, chernihiv and sumy regions, 24-27, 24-28°, well , most of the day without precipitation, but in the evening it may rain in the north, except for sumy region. in the east of ukraine tomorrow, the weather will not fundamentally change, the anti-cyclonic nature of the weather, 27:30, 28-31°, dry and sunny. in the central

part of ukraine, the air temperature will also be comfortable, there will not be any strong extreme heat there tomorrow, as you can see, well , you can say the temperature is just ideal for this season, for summer 25-29, vinnytsia will be fresher, the hottest, 29, maybe up to +30, dnipropetrovsk region. in the southern part of ukraine, tomorrow the weather will be very different, because, for example, in odesa, tomorrow... odesa has finally waited, and it has already waited, and tomorrow there will be precipitation, rains, thunderstorms, possible squalls, quite low air temperature somewhere in the range of 23-25°, well , finally, the territory of the south is hot, maybe a few odesa rains will come in mykolaiv oblast, and kherson oblast, crimea and zaporizhzhia are dry and, i repeat, hot. well, the weather is expected to be mostly dry in kyiv tomorrow. only

in the evening there is a possibility of such local rains with thunderstorms in some areas, the maximum air temperature is around 25°. literally in one sentence i want to say that on saturday and sunday in most regions of ukraine dry, hot weather is expected. the air temperature will be the highest in the southern part of ukraine at 34-36°, and finally the territory will be around 29-33°. on monday-tuesday , the air temperature is noticeable. will decrease, but keep an eye on it in our updated weather forecasts on the espresso channel. thank you natalka didenko, well, now you are ready for what will happen tomorrow and what will happen during the weekend, but she spoke so well about corn, to be honest, i am not a fan of corn, but i will definitely buy it tomorrow.

well, let's move on. don't forget the verdict at 20:00 and its author and presenter is serhiy rudenko, he will have interesting guests, he will have interesting topics, he has literally a few minutes left, i will say goodbye to you until tomorrow, good evening, we are from ukraine, today in the verdict program with serhiy. rudenkom the enemy's possibilities are limitless. the command of the national guard expects that the russian troops on all fronts will be forced to go on the defensive in a month or a half. when will the ukrainian counteroffensive become possible. the time for negotiations is not ripe. chinese diplomacy assesses readiness.
