especially difficult, says the current owner of the white house, it was for germany and slovenia. it's worth it to remind that a large-scale exchange of prisoners took place the day before at the airport of ankara, the capital of turkey. in general, according to the american president, 16 people were released from russian prisons, including seven russian citizens and five german citizens. the consensus of china and brazil on finding ways to end the war in ukraine peacefully has received support from more than 110 countries. this was reported in the ministry of foreign affairs of the celestial empire. they specified that beijing is ready to strengthen contacts and strengthen coordination with the brazilian side on this issue. the representative of the ministry emphasized the need for joint efforts to finally end the war by political methods. the european commission has advised hungary and slovakia to abandon russian oil and look for alternative sources after the countries complained about kyiv blocking supplies from... russia,

the financial times newspaper reports with reference to a letter from the vice president of the european commission, valdis dombrovskis. in particular, he called on budapest and bratislava to actively diversify, to abandon russian blue fuel. in addition, he said that a significant number of eu representatives asked themselves why hungary and slovakia have not yet studied alternative options. the european commission formed a special working group to... prepare for the possible return of the former president of the united states of america, donald trump, to the white house, which could lead to drastic changes in washington's policy towards ukraine. this was reported by the financial times newspaper with reference to its own sources. brussels is worried about what trump will do if elected president, could impose painful tariffs on imports from the eu, end military and financial support to kyiv, and force ukraine to agree to end the war on russia's terms. the eu is also

alarmed by trump's ability to implement his threats to withdraw the us from nato. the usa did not recognize the victory of the current president of the country, nicolas, in the elections in venezuela. maduro, secretary of state antony blinken said that in washington , the candidate from the united opposition, edmundo gonzalez, is considered the winner of the race in this south american country. in anthony blinken's published statement says that venezuela made mistakes during the processing of the ballots, errors and the announcement of the results of the presidential election, due to which the result of the vote did not reflect the will of the venezuelan people. his salary has not been raised for a long time. the self-proclaimed president of belarus oleksandr lukashenko jokingly and with a smile said this during the ceremony of awarding state awards to employees of enterprises and organizations of the case management system. a video fragment of the solemn ceremony was published close to the press service of the self-proclaimed telegram channel

about almost 4 billion dollars. minister of finance of ukraine serhiy marchenko and the regional director of the world bank signed the relevant agreement. the funds will be used to pay wages. to teachers, rescuers, employees of state bodies, as well as for social benefits, our ministry of finance reported. this is the first share of grant support from the states, and in general, we are talking about this initiative worth 8 billion dollars. well, if we talk to 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, peni pritzker, was in ours this week. 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 the taxpayers in the states that this money goes specifically for specific purposes and specifically for certain tasks, and to account for every penny, by the way, we

too , journalists voicing these numbers of grant funds, or loan funds or other financial programs, we are voicing the numbers, but i still want to see from the authorities. calculation, i repeatedly talk about it in my 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. to start already, thank god, they somehow extinguished this story, but if the story had not

gained publicity, but from the start people appear who want to steal from the start, and the americans will look, think, oh, yes, what is wrong with our sinners, we are already afraid to ask in general, well, these are really stories, vasyl, but all the same, we thank the international partners, not only the united states, the european union, all the countries that participate in the reconstruction, in the financing of important expenses of our country. let's go further. ukraine should give up. large energy facilities and switch to the so-called distributed generation system, i.e. build small stations, prime minister danys shmyhal said. for this purpose, the cabinet of ministers has developed a program to support private producers, and also allowed concessions import of electric generators, inverters, batteries of charging stations abroad. let's listen to what the head of the cabinet of ministers said this week: president volodymyr zelenskyi signed the law on the removal of import duties and vat. for energy equipment, now citizens and businesses can import electric generators, inverters,

batteries, charging stations under a preferential regime, that is, vasyl, here in the cabin they talked about saving yourself in winter at your own expense, i really thank the government and thank the president for really simplifying the import of energy equipment in ukraine, now i am sure that it will keep its price, there will be no crazy crazy costs. and it will go to the domestic market faster, but this is for those who have money, well, but many ukrainians do not have money, not even to pay utility bills, more than 700,000 debtors for utility bills, these are the numbers, the open data service open databot cited, the most people do not pay for storage in dnipropetrovsk region, in kharkiv and donetsk regions, most often people do not have money to pay for heating and water supply. and electricity. let me remind you that after the beginning full-scale war, the government introduced

a moratorium on foreclosures and disconnection from debtors' networks, but this year this ban was lifted. and here we see, the figure of 800 thousand 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 so far the enforcement service has received those debtors who... are somehow trying to pay for the warehouse, but have certain delays, certain amounts of debt, are trying to settle somehow. let's go further: the increase in the cost of fuel after the increase in excise taxes, consumers almost did not will notice 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. a higher price increase will affect liquefied. gas, but the use of this type of fuel will still remain profitable. in addition, 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. there is a tax on it increases the most, it increases by uah 5 per liter, accordingly, i think that this price increase will be. but this does not mean that liquefied gas will lose its attractiveness for users, i.e. it will still be profitable compared to gasoline and even profitable for those who drive a lot, and accordingly can install new gas equipment, for gasoline-diesel it is not so clear , since the tax on it on them increases not not not so significantly by 1.5 hryvnias gasoline 2 hryvnias diesel and accordingly if i say so, for example, what if it were implemented today. on august 1, and not from september 1, we did not feel these

changes at all. moving on, the ministry of defense this week unveiled the online platform "partner mod goa". it is designed to facilitate cooperation with manufacturers and suppliers of rear assets for the armed forces. on this site, suppliers can apply for an inspection of a tangible property sample in order to obtain a certificate of conformity or conduct pre -testing of their product. all appeals submitted through this portal are considered official accepted let's listen to the direct speech. ours. the goal was to eliminate all 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, increases the quality and diversity of the property, and if it is automated, it ensures

the timely delivery of all goods. all purchases in the ministry of defense, which we'. 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, who observe how effectively we work. a great initiative indeed, let's see how it will work, what results it will bring for suppliers to... the armed forces. in the meantime, businesses can complain to officials. this week, the ministry of economy started testing the pulse online platform. on it , entrepreneurs will leave their feedback on interaction with the state. now it is possible to evaluate 22 state bodies. their number will gradually increase. based on the posts, they will form the following the so-called satisfaction index of entrepreneurs.

after filling out the form, the businessman will track his status and review of the complaint. in your personal account and will receive an answer. 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 real estate, 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 for stealing. funds due to non-payment of taxes to the state budget, thereby causing losses to the treasury of more than uah 75 million. both suspects are currently hiding abroad. kyivstar vodafone and lifecell report that

it is difficult to ensure 100% autonomy of mobile communication and the internet for 10 hours during power outages. this is stated in the joint statement of the companies. they continue to work now on. increasing the energy stability of their networks, however, this requires significant resources and time - top managers say. recently, the national center for operational-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 coordinated with energy companies, therefore, purchase generators for everything this... it will take some time, well, we will monitor, there is a recommendation from the regulatory body and there are concrete movements from the business side, from the mobile operators side, as far as they manage to provide such an uninterrupted service to us simple consumers, well, we will find out from our phones, let's move on, critically important agropolitics asked for reservations for

enterprises that grow vegetables and fruits, turned to the regional military administrations, asking them to review the criteria for attracting industry workers to the ranks of the armed forces. the sphere is now of critical importance for 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 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 last is also agricultural news. due to the heat , the harvest of grain and oil crops will be smaller this year. the ukrainian grain association updated its forecast and noted that expectations are almost 3 million tons lower. they hope to collect approximately 72

million tons from the fields, they say, the indicators had to be revised due to the drought, it hit maturation itself. grains, well, the situation will actually slightly undermine the potential of agrarians, reduce foreign exchange earnings, but for the domestic consumer, there will be plenty of grain and oil crops this year. 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! well, now for your attention... 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 of sports, the number one topic is the olympic games. about victories, defeats and scandals in our review.

meanwhile, heated arguments are raging in social networks about the gender of algerian boxer iman khelif, the reuters agency published an article that clearly argues that khelif is 100% female. the international olympic committee also made a statement. iman hilif and lin yuying are women. and everyone who criticizes these athletes is engaged in discrimination. everyone has the right to play sports without discrimination. as in the previous olympic boxing competitions, the gender and age of the athletes are determined by the passport. not just the olympics. dynamo kyiv confidently overcame srpski in two matches partisans 6:2 and 3:0. that is the way to punish those who go to bolot to fraternize. in the next qualifying round of the champions league, dynamo will play the scottish glasgow rangers for the sixth time. and august 13. it didn't happen as expected. zhytomyr polyssia made an unsuccessful debut in the eurocups. slovenian olimpia from ljubljana lost twice 0:2
