the verdict with serhii rudenko, from now on in a new two-hour format, even more analytics, even more important topics, even more top guests, foreign experts, inclusion from abroad, about ukraine, the world, the front, society, and also feedback, you can express your opinion on the evil of the day with the help of a telephone survey, turn on and turn on, the verdict with serhiy rudenko, from tuesday to friday from 20 to 22. good evening, we are from ukraine. well, we continue, and now it's time to sum up the economic results of the week, a lot of interesting things happened week, well, maybe we will also hear some forecasts from oleksandr morchak, he is already with me. good evening, oleksandra, please. good evening, vasyl, i congratulate the viewers, so the most important thing in the world of money is energy, it is taxes, it is international support, you will learn everything in detail in a moment.

wait, i'm oleksandr morshchak, greetings, this is a column about money during the war and i'm really starting with a specific important figure of international support. in the near future , the state budget will receive a grant from the united states. we are talking about almost 4 billion dollars minister of finance of ukraine serhiy marchenko and the regional director of the world bank signed the corresponding agreement. the funds will be used to pay salaries. to teachers, rescuers, employees of state bodies, as well as for social benefits, our ministry of finance reported. this is the first portion of grant support from the states, and in total, we are talking about this initiative in the amount of 8 billion dollars. well, if we talk, vasyl, about international support, it is really important, and we are promised it, but it is interesting, the special representative of the united states for the reconstruction of ukraine, ms. pritzker, was in our country this week. to the state and it

says that there is money, and we are ready to give it, but how to explain to the american people, to taxpayers in the states, that this money goes specifically for specific purposes and specifically for specific tasks and to account for every penny. by the way, we are also journalists announcing these numbers of grant funds, credit funds or other financial programs, we announce the numbers, but we still want to see them from the authorities. calculation, i repeatedly in mine i'm talking about this in the releases, where a dollar went to here, and where two went here, report, report to the states, please, because penny pritzker says, the money will be delayed, because here we have something to say, some connecticut resident pays his 10 dollars in this story, he wants to know where the 10 dollars of a connecticut resident or some virginian went, or for a specific and quite significant attitude towards taxpayers. that we have a scandal

with that, sorry, this is very short with this ohmadite, we didn't have time to start already, well thank god, they somehow extinguished this story, but the story did not acquire, but right from the start there are people who want to steal, from the start, such americans will look, think, oh, yes, what is wrong with our wheat, we are already afraid to ask in general, well, vasyl, these are really stories, but thanks anyway. international partners, not only the united states, the european union, all countries involved in the reconstruction of the financing of important expenses of our country. let's go further. ukraine should abandon large energy facilities and switch to the system so-called distributed generation, that is , to build small stations - said prime minister danys shmyhal. for this purpose, the cabinet of ministers developed a program to support private producers, and also allowed preferential importation of electric generators and inverters.

let's listen to what the head of the cabinet of ministers said this week. president volodymyr zelenskyy signed the law on the removal of import duty and vat for energy equipment. now citizens and businesses can import electric generators, inverters, batteries, and charging stations at a preferential rate. well, that is vasyl, here in the cabinet of ministers they talked about saving yourself in the winter at your own expense. really dude. thank you to the government and thank you to the president for really simplifying the import of energy equipment into ukraine, now i am sure that it will keep its price, there will be no crazy, crazy cost and it will come to the domestic market faster, but this is for those who have money, well , but many ukrainians don’t even have money to pay utility bills, more than 700,000 debtors for utility bills, such figures

were provided by the open data service open databot. in the dnipropetrovsk region, in the kharkiv and donetsk regions, most often people do not have the funds to pay for heating and water supply. and electricity. let me remind you that after the start of the full-scale war, the government introduced a moratorium on forced collection and disconnection from debtors' networks, but this year this ban was lifted. and so we see, the figure of 800,000 debtors for the utility company is precisely the figure that is in the executive service. this is an official figure, but it is clear that they have not yet reached the executive service the debtors, who i am... somehow try to pay for the store, but have certain delays, certain amounts of debt, try to settle somehow. let's go further: consumers will hardly notice the increase in the cost of fuel after the increase in excise taxes.

serhiy kuyun, director of the a95 consulting company, made such a forecast this week. according to him, there are now much more conversations about this in the country than the expected real consequences. liquefied gas will increase in price more. but the use of this type of fuel will still remain profitable. in addition, the price the price of oil on world markets has fallen below 80 dollars per barrel in recent days. let's listen to the expert's predictions. in fact, we can confidently talk about the increase in the price of liquefied gas only. the tax on it increases the most, it increases by uah 5 per liter. accordingly, i think that there will be an increase. but this does not mean that liquefied gas will lose its appeal to users, that is, it will still be profitable compared to gasoline, and even profitable for those who drive a lot, and accordingly can install a new gas tank equipment, with regard to gasoline and diesel, everything is not so

clear, since the tax on it on them increases not not not not so significantly, by 15 uah gasoline 2 uah diesel, and accordingly, if, for example, i would say that if it were implemented today... august , and not from september 1, we did not feel these changes at all. moving on, the ministry of defense this week presented the online platform partnergoua. it is designed to facilitate cooperation with manufacturers and suppliers of rear assets for the armed forces. on this site, here suppliers can apply for carrying out an inspection of a sample of tangible property in order to obtain a certificate of conformity or conduct an experience. test your product. all appeals submitted through this portal are considered officially accepted. let's listen to the direct speech. our goal was to eliminate all these corruption risks and increase the efficiency of the use of cash funds. what advantage is there in this? when

there is a portal, it gives access to a wider range of suppliers, increasing quality and diversity. e-e property and if it is automated, it ensures timely supply of all goods. all purchases in the ministry of defense that we carry out were not only effective, but also transparent and understandable, for society, for the armed forces of ukraine, for our main customer, let's say so, and for all the public that exists. who are watching how effectively we work, a great initiative, really, let's see how it will work, what results it will bring for suppliers, for the armed forces, meanwhile business can complain to officials, this week the ministry of economy started

testing of the pulse online platform. on it , entrepreneurs will leave their feedback on interaction with the state. now there is an opportunity to evaluate 22 state bodies by... gradually their number will grow, based on the posts they will form the so -called satisfaction index of entrepreneurs. after filling out the form, the businessman will track his status, review the complaint in his personal account and receive a response. the property worth almost uah 400 million of ex-people's deputies traitors serhiy medvedchuk and bohdan kozak was transferred to the state this week. the court seized land plots, enterprises, factories, cars and immovable. the sbu reported. let me remind you that in june, law enforcement officers exposed both brothers of former people's deputies for financial fraud. according to the investigation, the accused used controlled enterprises to embezzle funds due to non-payment of taxes to the state budget. in this way , more than 75 million hryvnias were caused to the treasury.

both suspects are currently hiding abroad. kyivstar vodafone and lifecell report what to provide. percent autonomy of mobile communication and the internet for 10 hours during outages power supply is difficult. this is stated in the joint statement of the companies. they continue to work now on. increasing the energy stability of their networks, but this requires significant resources and time - top managers say. recently, the national center for operational and technical management of telecommunications networks obliged operators to ensure complete autonomy of communication within 10 minutes after turning off the lights, but the business says that there are no people, it is necessary to rebuild the infrastructure, all this must be agreed with the energy companies, so buy generators, all this is needed. for some time, well, we will monitor, there is a recommendation of the regulatory body and there are concrete movements on

the part of business, on the part of mobile operators, to what extent they will manage to provide such an uninterrupted service to us, ordinary consumers, well, we will find out ourselves from our phones, let's move on, the critically important ministry of agropolitics has asked reservation for enterprises that grow vegetables and fruits, govt. appealed to the regional military administrations to revise the criteria for recruiting industry workers to the ranks of the armed forces. sphere now is critical to the economy. previously, about 70% of vegetable production was grown in the south. today, part of this business has been destroyed or moved to work in other regions. all this affected the prices, experts say. so that consumers have enough vegetables and fruits, the workers of such agricultural enterprises, the ministry of agricultural policy. asks to reserve from mobilization. and

the latest agricultural news: due to the heat, the harvest of grain and oil crops will be smaller this year. the ukrainian grain association has updated its forecast and noted that expectations are almost 3 million tons smaller. they hope to collect approximately 72 million tons from the fields, they say, the indicators had to be revised due to the drought, which hit the ripening late. grains, well, the situation will actually slightly undermine the potential of agrarians, reduce foreign currency earnings, but for the domestic consumer and grain and oil crops this year, there will be enough. this is how i saw this business week, i will say goodbye to you until monday, but the big broadcast continues, there will be more, watch us! thank you dear oleksandr, by the way, there appeared an explanation from the companies that created such

an association to participate in the tender for the construction of the military memorial, well, there is not such a big betrayal, judging by what i have already managed to read, there will be time, i i will tell you in a little more detail, that is, if it is not treason, i will always say, well, there is no treason, everything is fine, everything is fine, but there is, but at least an explanation has already appeared, it is already good, and i will voice it to you, a little later, now i i invite serhiy rudenko to the conversation, the berdyk program starts at 8 p.m. what are you talking about, sergey, please tell me congratulations to vasyl, at 20:00 we will start with a two-hour verdict program. in the first part of our program, from 20 to 21 , we will have three guests: major of the armed forces of ukraine, special officer ihor lapin, economist, member of the board of the national bank vasyl furman, and yevhen magda, executive director of the institute of world politics. let's talk, in particular , about what is currently happening in the army at pokrovsky. direction on the front, and what about the f-16 planes, because the western media yesterday and

the day before yesterday announced the arrival, arrival, or rather, to ukraine f-16, there is no confirmation yet from the ukrainian side, but it is obvious, it is obvious that these fighters will appear in the ukrainian sky and it will become very well known, very loudly known throughout the world, because the russians will be the first to shout: that f16 is already in the sky of ukraine and what should be hidden from these fighters, in fact, another topic that is quite relevant this week is the increase in plans to raise taxes by the ukrainian government, they are already talking about what the new taxes will be, that the hole in the budget is now 500 billion hryvnias, they must be covered with something, the army must be financed, salaries must be paid. military, and for this we need to raise taxes. the entrepreneurs themselves say that

the increase in taxes will one way or another affect the price of services and goods, that is , the tax burden will be transferred to consumers, that is, to you and me, dear tv viewers, what does this mean in the current conditions and, in fact, what will the prices be after tax increase, we will talk about it with a member of the board of the national bank, economist vasyl. furman, and with yevhen magda, we will discuss the prospects of changing ministers in the government team of denys shmyhal, because president zelenskyi is already talking about these changes, which... will these changes be, what will they lead to, and most importantly, will they affect the fact that the government team will work much better. in the second part of our program, which will start at 21:15, there will be two of my colleagues, journalists, olga musafirova and kateryna nekrecha, with whom we will talk about

sociology, how people perceive mobilization, mobilization plans. ukrainian authorities and how they currently assess the prospects of the negotiation process between ukraine and russia, again, during almost the whole week there were many different statements about the preparation of a new peace plan on behalf of the ukrainian state for november 2024, the second peace summit will obviously take place at the end of the year, and it will obviously be one of... the middle east, well, at least that is what the representatives of the ukrainian authorities say, at the same time, the russians, about whom there is a lot of talk and that russia itself should participate in the second peace summit, while that they are not ready for negotiations with ukraine, putin's press secretary piskov says that they say there is no one to negotiate with in ukraine, they do not understand the logic of what is happening

now in the ukrainian government, and whether zelensky is a legitimate president or not. well, that is, they took up their song again. we will talk with kateryna nekrecha and olga musafirova about all this, about foreign policy, internal policy, sociology, the reaction of ukrainians and the attempts of the russian federation to destabilize the situation within the ukrainian state. let me remind you, it will be again at 21:15 after a bbc newscast. vasyl zima's big broadcast continues, we will be on the air in 13 minutes. vasyl you have a word. thank you very much sergey. at 20:00 the verdict program starts on the espress tv channel. well, now for your attention is a review of sports events prepared for you by my colleague oleksandr vashchuk. let 's see, let's listen. it's been a week in the world

saber fencing tournament. ukraine will be represented by harlan, alina komashchuk, olena krovatska and. julia bakastova. while heated debates are raging on social media about the gender of algerian boxer iman khelif, the reuters agency has published an article that clearly argues that khelif is 100% female. also the international olympic committee issued a statement. iman heliv and lin yuying are women, anyone who criticizes these athletes is engaged in discrimination. everyone has the right to play sports without discrimination. as in previous olympic boxing competitions, the gender of the ev athletes is determined by the passport. not just the olympics. dynamo kyiv confidently defeated the serbian partisans in two matches, 6:2 and 3:0. this is how it is necessary to punish those who go to the swamps to fraternize. dynamo will play scotland in the next qualifying round of the champions league glasgow rangers on august 6th and 13th. it didn't happen as expected. zhytomyrske polissia made an unsuccessful

debut in the eurocups. twice they lost to the slovenian olympia from ljubljana 0:2 and 1:2. in the second qualifying round of the conference league. usyk did not play, but he sang. do not search in the evenings. the new season of the ukrainian premier league begins on saturday. this is already the 34th ukrainian football championship, and the third since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. the new game will be a repeat of the ukrainian cup final between vorskla poltava and shakhtar donetsk. but oleksandria from dynamo and rukh have postponed their matches with polissia. we will remind that in the 2023-2024 season , the champion. ukraine became donetsk shakhtar. silver and bronze medals were chosen by kyiv dynamo and kryvorizky kryvbas. a busy sports weekend is ahead, cheer for yours. thank you alexander for

the sports news. we are still waiting for more awards from ukrainian athletes at the olympics, but we see that these olympic games are not easy for ukraine, at least to begin with. athletes , we wish them success, and despite everything else, we we understand very well that the most important thing for us right now is to win at the front, and for that we will cheer and support and donate as much as we can to our soldiers, well, sportsmen of success, well, but our lives do not particularly depend on who wins or loses there, of course, but our immediate life depends on what the weather will be, so what should we expect this weekend, mrs. natalko is ready to tell us, congratulations, please, congratulations, congratulations, vasyl, congratulations, our dear viewers, of course. we will talk about the weather, about the flight, what what can be done, what cannot be done, and in general about the nearest synoptic perspective, literally in a second. we

will start our meeting today with swimming, let's swim together, those who haven't made it yet, in a river, in a pond, maybe even in a lake, in other words, summer, when it's hot, when the temperature is high. air, well, the only thing is a great time for swimming, but apart from pleasantness, what can be useful for swimming, and there is already, as they say, a place to go for a walk, well, first of all, the whole body and muscles work, we, when we are in water, the load on the spine decreases and the vertebrae are relaxed, so for those who have back problems, this is just an ideal additional treatment, the internal organs also work, thanks to the constant movement and pressure of the water , there is even a massage of the internal organs and, accordingly, digestion, the work of the cardiovascular system, and so on further. swimming is very suitable for people with disabilities and injuries, it is

the safest way for them to do such restorative training. they say that swimming is also an excellent solution for asthmatics. er, the benefit is very, very great. simply invaluable, because swimming increases the volume of the lungs and reduces symptoms. tic disease generally has a positive effect on the respiratory tract in general, well, burning calories is understandable, the benefit of swimming for climbing has already been proven by millions, you can say, because as i already said, during swimming in the pool , all muscle groups and attention are actively working, in 30 minutes you can burn 360 kilocalories, well, of course, swimming helps to cope with stress, we all need it now, and if there is the slightest opportunity, we should go to swimming pools, because with... emotional tension, anxiety decreases, and, by the way, immunity improves. well, in general, psychologists advise to go to the pool not only when, as

they say, it's screwed up, even with a preventive purpose, and such pleasant, useful activities, it's just a real panacea for the body from stress and depression. let's swim and swim for health, who can where, whether in the river for now, if possible, or in the pool. well, let's move on. from swimming to magnetic storms. now for your attention the forecast chart, and together we let's see if there will be powerful magnetic storms tomorrow, which, by the way, were observed yesterday and today. well, look, tomorrow at the end of the day already in the evening there will be a strong activation of the earth's magnetic field again, that is, magnetic storms again tomorrow. if you feel bad today or tomorrow, don't worry, magnetic fringes are so strong, they come quite quickly, but it's not very comfortable to tie yours. a state with increased geomagnetic activity is possible, well, in the end , we move on to the weather forecast, let's see what will be the weather for the next day, traditionally

we start from the western regions of ukraine and see what, for example, the air temperature will be, not high, 20-25°, and also tomorrow in the west short-term rains with places of thunderstorms are expected, in the northwest - this is volyn-rivnenshchyna . tomorrow there may even be heavy rains, and as i said, it's not hot at all. in the north of ukraine tomorrow , the air temperature is also expected to drop, that is, it is not that cold, of course 23-25°, but it is clearly lower than, for example, +28 today, and tomorrow there will also be short-term rains and thunderstorms almost everywhere, rather it is during the day, or in the second half of the day, well, sumy oblast has the least chance, to be honest, in the east of ukraine. hot weather is expected tomorrow, who would doubt it, 29-32°, in kharkiv oblast tomorrow there is a possibility of local short-term

rains with... luhansk oblast and donetsk oblast will have dry, sunny and hot weather. well, let's go further, in the southern part of ukraine, tomorrow, i apologize, in the central part of ukraine, tomorrow there is also a possibility of short rains with thunderstorms. air temperature 24-29, fresher vinnytsia, hotter dnipropetrovsk region, well , rains are least likely in dnipropetrovsk region tomorrow, so to speak, and in the southern part. with which i wanted to get ahead of the center, no, no, everything in order, heat 30-32, 30-33°, no precipitation, dry, sunny, hot weather with high fire danger, be careful, kyivans, tomorrow, please take from take umbrellas with you, because tomorrow in kyiv it will not rain completely, not all day, but nevertheless, you will be able to get under the rain and hear the thunder, and the temperature

will drop tomorrow in kyiv, as much as possible it will be only +24 +25°, well, this is the synoptic nearest perspective: on sunday , the weather will level off, the rains will go a little further east, that is, the east, center and south can feel such increased air humidity, and the air temperature will level off and be somewhere around 25-29 ° in the south, in the southeast, it will traditionally be higher, but as always, the weather forecasts are updated on... the best weather forecasts on the espresso channel, carefully monitor the development of the synoptic situation, thank you very much nataltsidenko for the information about the weather, i just wanted to say that this story is about a tender, well, with the ohmadit tender for the reconstruction of ohmadit, we already seem to

have clarified the situation. a new tender will be held, and those who wanted, as they say, quietly, until no one noticed, hold a tender, find some company that inflates the prices, say that this is good, it does not mean that it is bad, if the prices overestimated, maybe there are such space technologies that we don’t know about, maybe there is some third-generation civilization there, and they will do it now just in an instant, well, it didn’t work out, it didn’t work out, the minister said that we will conduct a new tender, and i hope, of course, that it will be found out who conducted the previous one, how did it happen that this... a company with a charter capital of uah 500 suddenly won it and offered a price twice as expensive as that the company that actually built this ohmadite, and now there will be people who invested in the supervisory board, they will control, this is very good, those people who invested money, business, benefactors, this is their money, they will control that this money goes to destination, the second story is about a memorial, this holy place should be for all ukrainians, i will say again, for tens,

hundreds of years, a memorial to fallen heroes and heroines in the battle for ukrainian independence, a company also appeared there, which was created literally a day before, but there is no betrayal here yet, because these are just three different companies that have been on the market for a long time, to which there were no complaints, and nowhere, as they say, did not come to light in anything bad, they simply assessed the requirements of this tender and decided to create an association to jointly make this memorial, because individually they... have one or another means, but together they created an association, well, at least that's how it's written, and they will be able to do it, but together, that is, it's not that some separate the company appeared, fell from the sky, no, these are already existing companies, they just unite in order to do it together, we will also monitor the development of these events, but for now we see here that there is no such big betrayal, thank you for being with us this week, i 'll see you bye until monday at 6:10 p.m.,

take care, i wish you... a good weekend, we will donate to the armed forces of ukraine, we support the ukrainian army, well, literally in a few moments the verdict with serhiy rudenko, let's watch together. good evening, we are from ukraine. today in the verdict program with serhii rudenko. the creeping offensive of the russians continues. zelensky says that the troops. tired and in need of rotation, but there is a shortage of weapons for the new brigades. how long can a war of attrition last when russia has an industrial advantage. budget hole of 500 billion. government plans to close the deficit of public funds at the expense of domestic borrowing and a significant increase in taxes, will the business survive?
