do we understand it or not? we understand 5% military levy on the purchase of real estate, and we already have a lot of taxes on real estate. well, what will a sincere ukrainian do, i'm sorry, he will understate the purchase price in order to avoid an increase, well, that is, we are a business, instead of bringing it into the light, we will, well, stupidly drive it into the shadows with these additional taxes. 30% on the pile. jewelry, well, this does not mean that jewelry will be bought less, it means that mechanisms will be sought to avoid this tax, that is, we, look, those 1.7 basic trills that are in the state budget, this is not real money, it is what we need to earn for legal business by the end of the year and with which to pay tax, these threats do not exist physically, they you still need to earn money, huh. and there is a big

caveat that by introducing additional tax innovations, you and i will not earn an additional 140 billion there, and we may not reach 1.7, uh, simply because business will begin to flee into the shadows, about that, by the way, different kinds of business associations speak in direct text, which in a direct, well, format they claim that in those draft laws that have been proposed... there is no action regarding the removal of a business that does not pay anything anyway, that is, all those tax innovations are innovations for the legal part of the ukrainian economy, the illegal part of which feels great. mr. oleg, you and i are actually talking about what ukraine can and should do to continue its confrontation with the russian federation, its defense. against

the russian federation, but the russians would also like to believe that they face at least some problems in the way of arming oneself, in the way of supporting one's military industry, and so on. elvira nabiulina, head of the central bank of the russian federation, announced the exhaustion of the last reserves of the russian economy. reserves of labor force and production capacity in the russian economy are practically exhausted, this is a game. rhetorical figures, whether there really are certain problems, if there are problems, then whether they can be settled with revenues from cooperation, energy cooperation with china, india, and so on. in short, do we find ourselves in a situation where when, while the fat will rise, the thin will die, sorry? well, we were in that situation from the first day of the war, to be honest, and without... the active

help of our partners, we really are not fit to wage war, well, let's be completely sober, we borrow half of the state budget for social expenses, imagine that the president of ukraine and our government would have an alternative: to give money to a soldier or to give money to a pensioner, to whom to give money faster, in order to save either one or the other, thank god for today. moment our partners have removed a lot of responsibility for the social package from us, although, again, i repeat once again, when you and i look at the budget declaration for the year 25-27, there social standards are frozen, that is , there will be no money for increasing social standards, in 2024, social standards were raised a little and slowed down and... but god forbid that at least those that exist

are financed by our partners, and as for the russians, listen, i always say that what is happening today in the economy of the russian federation , very similar to the last ones ten years of the soviet union. i want to remind you that until the last day of its existence, the soviet union demonstrated economic growth at the level of 5-7%. it is true that gdp was not mentioned there, it was national income, but this does not change the essence. however, this growth was ensured by the enterprises of the military-industrial complex, which were actively financed by money from the then budget of the soviet union. er, at the same time, er, consumer goods, primarily agriculture did not provide the country with food. well, probably, who remembers remembers, those who don't, then the soviets. the union was

one of the largest importers of agricultural products, ugh, that is , without the import of canadian grain, canadian wheat. without importing american wheat, the soviet union could not feed its own population, and why? everything is very simple, because in order to ensure the appropriate amount of production of agricultural products, and the agricultural sector is a sector with a sufficiently low level of mechanization and a sufficiently high level of manual labor, there must be an appropriate number of workers who have be properly paid. so that you and i understand the situation in russia, the situation in russia at the moment is very similar. what does nabiulina say about the overheating of the russian economy? because the huge investment of money in contracts with

the military-industrial complex has led to the fact that the military-industrial complex is now operating as such a huge dustbin that absorbs resources and labor. ah... but we have to understand that the material resources of the labor force in the country are, well, a certain amount, their size is not unlimited, and if you have any the sector begins to distort in this way, then all the last ones who do not have such budgetary support, who do not have the opportunity to make those social packages, to raise those wages, physically begin to lose labor force, and that today in many stores of the russian federation. especially in remote regions, well, there is a real shortage of food products, this is already the first sign that russia is following the path of the soviet union, the path of a total food shortage, if in terms of consumer goods, which somehow

china can lend a shoulder, then in food products, well, let's be completely frank, china itself is a big importer, it has more of it... another confirmation of why the russian federation needs ukrainian territories in particular, why it is taking further and further steps, and for this also, in order to steal our grain, export it in shady ways, then do whatever you want, but do what they do and feed their own, mr. oleg, i thank you very much for this... a clear answer to an important question, oleg penzin, economist, executive director of the economic discussion club, has been in touch with us, we will now move on to the next question, but i will remind you that we are conducting a poll today on whether you think that the russian people are as guilty of the war as

putin is, if you think so , then 0800 211 381, if not, then 0800 211 382, ​​all your calls will be free. complete, and your opinion is invaluable to us, please participate in this survey, why exactly are we asking you about this, and because the released, in particular russian opposition politicians, rights activists, sang in one voice about that the sanctions in the form in which they exist now, they hit only the ordinary people of the russian federation, the sanctions actually affect the russian economy, it is another matter how much they have or do not have anything to cover this damage, but in connection with us, as promised in the current hour oleksandr khara, expert on foreign and security policy of the center of defense strategies, mr. oleksandr, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine, good evening, heroes of the word, with your permission i will still

start with this great exchange of prisoners , and many comments on this matter have already been heard, but a rather quiet voice is heard. about what to expect in the next exchanges, what it might be, why it is needed, both by putin and the united states, i ask you to speak. well, first of all, it is clear that the president of the united states, and his vice president, who is almost the nominee of the democratic party, it definitely came into play, that several american citizens were released, hostages whom putin... took precisely for that , to make this exchange, we know from open sources that negotiations took place almost two years, from the very beginning the same navalny appeared there, but he was de facto killed in a russian prison, well, in the end, so they agreed on such a composition

that the americans receive, that is, in fact hostages, instead they will give spies and murderers of the russian federation. and of course, such exchanges can continue, because the first and most important thing is that these are not the last hostages that putin took, but this is a completely normal practice, and unfortunately, the americans simply legalized it. because they used to say that with terrorists it is impossible to agree that pressure should have been exerted by and large, but now we see that this has already become a certain norm, and it is clear that putin will continue to take hostages, because there are still people to be extracted from european and american prisons, actually accomplices of his regime, and this really adds to his image, because he does not abandon his own, i am not talking about, so this is the meat that is thrown at... our soldiers in the war, i am talking about caste, that is, the fsb, the kgb , of all those chosen ones, this is

a class that is untouchable and absolutely, well let's say so, in a relaxed state, well, from the point of view of evaluating what they said, well, you know, the skepticism of the ukrainian people has long been such that we also know that scratch a russian and you will find a chauvinist or a russian there. well, definitely a ukrainophobe, and what they were saying will definitely not contribute to the end of this war, on the contrary, it will continue, because if the sanctions are lifted, it will mean more money for the actual mercenaries, in order to build missiles and so on, of course it can continue to undermine the will of our partners to further support ukraine, i am not talking about the fact that... these people, they are not the real opposition, there are not a large number of russians

who are ready to follow them, because this is how your survey is now about are all russians guilty, i would say, they are not guilty, they are responsible, those who take part in the killing of ukrainians are guilty, who supports, all the rest, who is silent, or who, you know, there are only some words of support for ukraine on the network . gives, they are only responsible, innocent russians can be considered those who fight on the side of ukraine, who inform on the armed forces of ukraine or russian units fighting with putin, who absolutely clearly stated their position that this is aggression, that putin is to blame, that russia is to blame, the russians are part of of this war, and not only putin's war, so you know, we have to look at it like this. well , they forgot, because in principle they did not appeal to us, not to the western public, but first of all to

the russians, they believe that they have some chance to return to power, in general to russia authorities, without the ukrainian armed forces bringing victory to ukraine and actually creating a unique chance for the russians to ultimately take the fate of their country into their own hands, but i am skeptical about this and, of course, about all people who are capable of such a thing. i'd like us to listen now to donald trump, the republican delegate in this united states presidential election, is he skeptical of this exchange, what is his rationale? we are listening. i want to congratulate vladimir putin on making another one big deal. you saw the deal we just made. at one time i got 59 hostages released and i never... paid anything for it, and they released some of the greatest killers in the world, the most dangerous

killers. yes, we got our people back, but we 're making terrible, terrible deals. sure, it's nice to say we got them back, but it sets a bad precedent. it seems to me that the attitude of ukrainians towards donald trump moves, you know, along a sine wave, because sometimes he says, absolutely unacceptable for us in our situation. things, and sometimes, and sometimes , you can catch some kind of logic in his speeches, mr. alexander, do you share certain reservations voiced by donald trump regarding the benefits of conditions for the united states? well, i think that here, well, first of all, it's a political battle for the white house, and it's clear that he's going to criticize any move the current administration makes, and of course, a little bit of ... to pick on the future democratic nominee, and i would i would say that this is

his provocative statement that i congratulate mr. putin, of course, it is not acceptable. because, well, in fact, he once again sided with, well , actually putin, nor the united states and its citizens, and here, well, this is absolutely it, i would say so, it was not very american to say, but he is right that putin got what that... well, in fact, the murderer of one of the chechen officers in an open murder literally a few minutes from the authorities in germany. a convicted person, because it is proven, and by the way, it is interesting that he not only killed this person, he has a large number of murders behind him, and they even say that he was involved in killing the former boss of putin, savchak, the mayor of st. petersburg, here, but in any case, putin got the maximum of what he wanted, he got rid of those russian

oppositionists, who certainly did not pose a threat to him either in prison or at large. federation, and most likely, it is unlikely that they will be able to do something by some kind of unification there, unfortunately, with such views as they have, it will definitely not be possible to unite the entire opposition, so yes, i would say that this exchange will probably be more beneficial to putin, but on the other hand, you know that the united states, it is their principle, let's say yes, it is a principled policy to release, to get out of any trouble. citizens, and it is clear what they did, it is absolutely commendable, and it seems to me that any country should do it, another question for trump is whether he would be able to agree with putin so that putin would give him without any exchange, without some other interests of these people, i think it is unlikely, well , by and large, in this speech, trump

tried to reduce the negative, let's say, negative consequences of his... previous statement that putin would give these people even before, more precisely, between the time trump wins the election and the moment he takes the oath, that is, the inauguration, here, and of course, he needed to level this negative context in some vivid way, which was not given to him, but given to joseph to biden, well, mr. oleksandr. meanwhile, meanwhile, both the white house and the world at large in anticipation of probable, probable iranian actions toward israel, there are very carefully veiled announcements of something that it could be and whether it would be, in general, like a spring

attack when missiles and drones all in a heap, but less... at that moment, let me remind you, it was not crowned with anything earth-shattering, most likely it was, that is, they have to answer, well, that’s the principle, you know, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, that’s why it’s clear that the iranians will not dare to engage in a direct confrontation, then it is quite difficult, in fact, why did they support all these terrorist groups both on the territory of israel and in... they tried through their proxy formations to influence and threaten israel and achieve their goals. well, of course, missile and drone strikes are what protect iran. we don't know which one the way iran can fight, as it is quite a complex country from the point of view of ethnic composition,

from the point of view of political views, and it is very difficult to imagine that this regime will be able to mobilize a large number of people in order to wage this war, that's why i think that, well, plus, you know how ukraine turned out in russia, it didn't happen as it was supposed to, because you know, i'll remember mike tyson's saying that everyone has a very good plan, until they get a bad idea, and actually that precisely, i think, the ayatollahs are thinking about what the consequences of their actions will be, of course they have to... do something so, you know, epic, i would say yes, but not to the point of getting involved in a war and , accordingly, having every chance of losing, because of course the united states is now increasing its presence in the region, and there is other allies of israel, of course, there is the reluctance of some countries that are very powerful militarily,

formal allies of the united states, the arab countries, i mean countries that would not want this conflict, and in the event of... occurrence, i think , that they will definitely not support iran's actions, so we will to hope for something bright, but not something that could lead to the escalation and exit of this conflict from the framework that we have seen. finally, mr. oleksandr, our relations with this country are also small, diplomatically, they no longer ... want to support them, our ministry of foreign affairs considers this a short-sighted, short-sighted and hasty decision, i will remind you that this decision followed ... the activation work of the ukrainian military outside the borders of our country, we are talking about the liquidation of quite

a large number of representatives of the so-called wagner's pmk in this country, who were there to reinforce these government pro-government forces, with the help of our, purely ukrainian tuaregs, were able to... work quite qualitatively on the liquidation of the wagnerites, what do we lose, or what do we gain by breaking off these diplomatic relations? we don't have much time, two minutes, please, well, first of all, i would say that all representatives of the russian federation who were involved in the war, or may be involved in the war against ukraine, are absolutely legitimate, especially the mercenaries, especially the terrorists wagner, and immediately. that their destruction was absolutely the right thing to do. other issues, and here you can criticize the ukrainian authorities from the point of view that, unfortunately, we did not act as masad is doing, that is

, we did not confirm or deny the presence of ukrainians there. that is, we hinted so, and of course, well, there is pride in our military intelligence officers, but actually we received such a negative diplomatic, such a diplomatic answer. and of course, that this is not only a question of mali, but also of other countries, and of course, that the question of how these events are presented in the region, and of course that they can there will be consequences not only in malia itself, but this attitude towards ukraine, and of course our russian friends will now try to show that ukraine is a pawn of the united states, that it acts as a colonizer, because the russian federation supports the legitimate government there and that. that a crime has been committed and so on, that is , in principle, there will now be strained diplomatic relations with several african countries, of course, that this will give

russian propaganda the opportunity to promote it, it is clear that mali is not a key player in africa or for us in general, but maintaining diplomatic relations is such an important thing in order to promote our national interests, and of course it is a pity that this moment has come to an end. from under control and we got a break in diplomatic relations. thank you, mr. oleksandr, for your professional comments. oleksandr khara, an expert on foreign and security policy at the center for defense strategies, joined the new week project on espresso. and i will remind you that today we are asking you whether you think that the russian people are as guilty of the war as putin. and the intermediate results look like this. 93% of those interviewed by us believe that they are guilty, and 7% believe that no, not all russians are russians. there are discounts until independence day on gelta kremgit up to 30% in psylshynik pam and ochad pharmacies, there are

just now and affect our lives, of course, the news feed reports about them, but it is not enough to know what is happening, it is necessary to understand. antin borkovskii and invited experts soberly evaluate events, analyze them, modeling our future, every saturday at 1:10 p.m. with a repeat at 10:00 p.m. studio zahid with anton borkovsky on espresso. this is a program for a new week on espresso. thank you for being with us every monday, my name is khrystyna yatskiv, and i would like to remind you that today we are asking you about the following. do you think that the russian people are as guilty of the war as putin is. if you think so, then 0800 211 381, if not, then 0800 211 382. please vote.

all your calls will be free, but we value your opinion immeasurably, join us, so far, according to the results of the first hour of our program, we see that the literal the majority of those who called us believe that all russians are as guilty as putin in the aggression against ukraine, and not only in general. well, i am happy to congratulate my colleague andrii smoliya, he is in touch with the studio. and it is in this format that in the coming weeks we will meet with you in the second part of the new week. andrii, congratulations and glory to ukraine. congratulations to the heroes, congratulations to all the viewers. well, we have a slightly different format, but we will still talk today. and traditionally the second hour, the first hour, christina is beautiful conducted, and i am very glad that, as they say, our experts were also on our side. the new

week program, and now we have the second hour, where we will analyze, where we will speak, where we will express our opinion and our vision regarding the events that are happening in our country, that are happening in the world and that will happen in the new weeks, so we will start, we will probably start with the expected, but such that did not happen, personnel rotations in the political part of the ukrainian leadership during the war, i will remind you that i spoke about them in general the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, practically putting his signature on the resignation of chairman valery zaluzhny, and someone thinks that it is really time, now we have a government that has been running our country for a record long time, managing all processes in our

country, this is extraordinary. maybe, but how qualitatively, i think there could be some debate here. at the end of the week, volodymyr zelenskyi, the president of ukraine, announced personnel changes in the cabinet of ministers, probably alluding to the minister of education, let's listen. personnel decisions are being prepared at the government level, as well as additional solutions so that more ukrainian children can already this fall. to study in schools not online, but normal, to have a normal school life, as much as it is possible now in the time of war. well, andrii, what do you see, do we really have problems exclusively in the educational sphere now, and can we put the responsibility for this on a minister who is less than many of the other

ministries. heads his own ministry, and will it be possible to exclude, well, let's say, several figures from the composition of the ministers? we traditionally always have the president and the majority have always tried, relatively speaking, to change some individual figures, but not to change the government in general, which, unfortunately, many ukrainians have a lot of questions about, and i... i think that the rumors that have been circulating for the past few weeks , which were related to the resignation of the government in general, let's talk about the fact that there were indeed conversations that finally, allegedly , not only a single minister or several separate ministers will be dismissed, including the prime minister may be dismissed the prime minister
