i am oleksandr morshevka, congratulations, this is a column about money, during the war, it is important that international support continues, and this is where i begin my column, ukraine received almost 4 billion dollars in non-refundable grants from the world bank, these funds will help finance priority budget expenditures, they say in the government - these are salaries for teachers, rescuers, social. according to denys shmigal, this is the first tranche of direct budget support from the united states this year. in general, ukraine receives more than 7 million, more than 7.5 billion dollars from america. here this is the total figure of these non-refundable funds. this week, the cabinet of ministers allowed foreign companies to build large buildings in ukraine, including high-rise, industrial buildings.

facilities, shopping and entertainment centers, hospitals, the solution will first of all allow polish business to modernize our border checkpoints, the ministry of reintegration reported, the right to such activity will be granted to foreign entrepreneurs without a construction license, i.e. foreign businesses do not need to obtain a license, appropriate the norm will apply during martial law, well, vasyl, an interesting initiative from the government is... in this way , the cabinet of ministers is trying to attract foreign capital, at least in the construction industry, but this week we just talked with the executive director of the economic discussion club , oleg penzyn, regarding the attraction of foreign funds in various sectors of the economy and in particular in the agricultural, defense and industrial sector, then construction itself is not a priority for foreign capital, and in general now foreigners are still waiting and are not going to...

make money in the economic sector, firstly, it is possible to raise money for construction, the question is who will do this construction at the lowest levels of executors, to implement the fact that in the ukrainian construction business there is a huge problem with working hands, this is a long-known fact, and people from other countries are already involved, so money and questions risk insurance remains for foreigners , it is possible to raise money, the question is who will use this money, what and who will build it, so, well, up to 300 thousand per hectare of such... grants will be issued for the cultivation of grapes. you can get money as the viticulturist himself, as well as the producer. taras vysotskyi, acting minister of agricultural policy, announced this. changes to the procedure for providing these funds were recently approved by the cabinet of ministers, they should contribute to the increase of vineyard areas in all regions. there is also an opportunity to get financing for farmers who continue to work in frontline territories despite the risks, taras vysok added. well, we are following

the tax reform, the introduction of new and various levies may lead to an acceleration of price growth, this is stated in the latest reports of the national bank of ukraine. for example, the introduction of a military levy on the income of enterprises can significantly accelerate inflation. such a tax can be largely borne by the business of consumers. i would like to remind you that the cabinet of ministers submitted to the council a draft law on raising taxes by uah 140 billion at the expense of revising the military levy, excise duties and other fiscal measures. well, we will keep an eye on it, after all, we are waiting for what the deputies will say about this. if we continue the conversation about information from the national bank, the nbu reported that the international reserves of ukraine in july decreased by almost 2%. lasted

reductions are associated with the fact that external financial assistance essentially did not cover the amount of currency that the national bank issued and sold on the domestic market. to balance the financial situation, last month the regulator took more than 3 billion dollars from international reserves, and this is 10% more than at the beginning of the summer. let's go further. august began with an increase in dairy products, retail prices increased. on kefir, yogurts, butter and cheeses. this is reported by the association of milk producers. the intense heat affected the interruptions in the operation of ventilation systems on farms. this led to an increase in the number of heat strokes in cows and a decrease in their productivity. in july , milk processing enterprises experienced a shortage of raw materials. in addition, long-term shutdowns of refrigeration equipment led to the fact that the amount of products simply

spoiled and was not sold, well, also interesting news began to appear regarding the increase in bakery products, the next increase in bakery... products and in general they are talking about the fact that bread can in general, such traditional bread will disappear from the shelves, we are preparing the material on monday, we will involve the association of bakers in the analysis of the situation, we invite, i think, they will explain what the matter is, but the military can submit a simplified application for receiving benefits in ukraine launched an experimental project this week, just in case ... an application for help to pay for housing and communal services for veterans, the ministry of social policy informed about it. this can be done through the portal of electronic services of the pension fund. the department explained that students can use this opportunity hostilities, persons

disabled as a result of the war and war participants. it does not matter whether a person has resigned from service or continues it, continues it? you can go to the portal. of the pension fund to submit an application for this kind of support from the state for the payment of severance pay. the market price of gas for the population is 15 hryvnias per cubic meter, but naftogaz provides a cost of 7.96 kopecks, because there is currently a moratorium on price increases, oleksiy chernyshov, the chairman of the board of naftogaz, reminded this week. the difference in tariffs is paid by the state budget - says the top manager and this. reduces the ability of the company to pay dividends and taxes to the treasury. chernyshov eloquently says that a supporter of exclusively market mechanisms no longer works in the world. that is , it hints that the market price of 15 hryvnias will soon be waiting for us household consumers,

it seems so to me. well , ukraine will need approximately 13 billion euros to build an energy system resistant to possible russian attacks. it is about the construction of more than 12 gw of capacity in the coming years, the chairman of the board announced this week ukrenergo volodymyr kudrytskyi. the emphasis, he says, should be placed not on the construction of large power plants, which the enemy can easily destroy with a few missiles, but on decentralization, so to speak, scattering of capacities. we are primarily talking about the balancing segment of generation, in particular about alternative energy, current from the sun, wind. water, but according to the head of ukrenergo, it is impossible to fulfill such a task without involving private investments. it is really necessary now, according to mr. kudrytskyi , to create such economic conditions that somehow attract business interest, it is possible to really simplify

access to activities, reduce the number of permits, licenses, as we once said, it will be possible to work in ukraine without a license in the construction business, possibly in the energy business. you also have to think about it. another global brand has completely sold its business in russia. hugo boss got rid of property in the country of the aggressor. after the beginning of the great war , the german fashion house closed down the main activity of verefia, although it continued to work in the wholesale market - writes the reuters agency. the german fashion house hugo boss sold its assets to a local russian company. the terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but... it is simply known that the kremlin demands that foreign businesses trying to leave muscovy sell their property for 50% less, so to speak, with a discount for russian entrepreneurs. well, if we already touched on

prices today, talked about energy, about possible gas tariffs, then... let's talk about the traditional consumer market, the prices of watermelons have fallen by a third since the beginning of the week, project analysts report eastfruit, and now already on the domestic market , they ask for 3 to 8 hryvnias per kilo of melons. farmers say that prices are falling because there is more supply, and the situation is further complicated by the fact that large watermelons are brought for sale, the demand for them is weak, of course, because they interfere too much and cost more. experts say that today... kabun is sold on average 60% cheaper than it was, for example, in the same period last year. my late father loved fishing, sometimes, well, it happened that he caught a lot of pike, then he gave it to his friends, because

i couldn't eat everything by myself, the same with watermelons, i think that if you bought a large watermelon cheaply, go treat your neighbor, whether it's a neighbor or someone else or my mother from... or someone, well , that is, in any case it can always be solved, go outside, sit down at the table, eat a watermelon together, have a chat, well, that's the quality of ukrainians, in fact, many ukrainians are really sincere and generous. as they say, this is how i saw this economic week, this was the main news from the world of money, but the big broadcast continues, there will be more to come, watch us, so what well, thank you very much to oleksandr morchavka for summing up the economic results of the week, and as for melons, think about it, you can always treat someone. well, at least consume more actively, ukrainian watermelons should not rot,

they should definitely be eaten, all the more so, understanding quite often at what price it is possible to collect those melons in the kherson region, in particular, well, now i will ask, first i will invite you to a conversation and ask about what will be discussed in the verdict program by serhii radenko, its author and presenter, serhii, congratulations, good evening, please, congratulations to vasyl, today will be a big evening in which... we will talk about domestic and foreign policy, but also foreign and domestic policy, they certainly affect the ukrainian state and relations with our western partners. in the first part of our program, starting at 20:00, i will have the politician and diplomat valery chaly. let's talk , in particular, about how the world perceives the kurdish operation of the ukrainian army, there are the first reviews, there is the reaction of world leaders to what is happening. next to the sumy region on kurshchyna, and apparently our partners do not

object to this development of events, of course, we will analyze how the kremlin reacted and how the kremlin is reacting to this exchange rate operation, what they are doing, and how embarrassed they were by this development of events. in addition, among the topics is the start of... an active presidential race in the united states of america, a debate between kamala harris and donald trump is already scheduled for september 10, and they have already decided on the candidates for the positions of vice presidents, one of the two must be from they will become the president of the united states of america, who will be elected on november 5, 24, how the ukrainian authorities are now building communication with the two'. obama, the headquarters, donald trump and kamala garis, what are

the personal relationships, or let's say, the nuances in volodymyr zelenskyi's communication with kamala garis and donald trump, we will talk about all this in the program with valery chaly, starting at 8:00 p.m. at 9:00 p.m.: 15, every friday we have a traditional journalism club, larisa voloshina and andriy yanitskyi, my colleagues will be there. discuss the main events of the week, in particular, again, the events discussed by ukraine and the whole world are the events in the kursk region, the armed forces of ukraine are attacking the territory of the russian federation, this is the first such offensive on the territory of present-day russia, since the second world war, that is why most foreign observers say they emphasize this fact. they emphasize this, so of course we will sort out

this story from the shelves, especially how the ukrainian authorities initially tried not to talk about the fact that it was the ukrainian army that was attacking russia, as journalists in this story tried to explain the logic of events, and referring to telegram channels or some of their other sources... sources, among the topics we will discuss with journalists, there will also be the topic of andriy yermak's positioning, he gave a large interview to the european truth , where he said that he is not a person who claims something more than he has, and he plays in the president's team, fulfills all his, all his tasks, which the president of ukraine sets before him. obviously, obviously this is an interview. is a response not only to his criticism within of the ukrainian state, but also outside it, because many

world media are now writing about the influence of andriy yermak and the fact that he has long been engaged in things that are not provided for by his position, actually performing the role of the vice president of ukraine. well, actually, that's what we're going to talk about, yermak's positioning, his explanation in the press, and one more nuance - this is... one step closer to corruption, two cases are related to the restoration of ohmadit and the printing of the textbook by the ministry of education, journalists, precisely journalists write about... the risk or danger of what might be there corruption, and the government is reacting to it, in short , these are the topics they will be talking about in the next two hours, we start in 15 minutes, vasyl zema's big broadcast continues, vasyl, you have the floor, thank you very much serhiy, the 20th verdict with serhiy rudenko and his guests , well, we will continue, in fact

, there is enough important information waiting for you, first of all, i will remind you about the collection, there will be people even in the comments, our viewers write... there is no card number, there are still some requests, wishes, we have what we are provided by soldiers and those organizations that provide this collection, we have a qr code, please go and donate, so the espresso tv channel and the vesna charitable fund have opened a fundraiser for the purchase of modern drones and electronic warfare systems for the third separate assault brigade of the 110th and 47th brigades of the armed forces of ukraine. defenders in donetsk. of the direction every day 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. the brigades urgently need drones and modern means of countering enemy drones. our goal is uah 3.5 million. remember that each of your donations brings our victory closer. you can see all the details on the screen. good health,

medals for ukraine. good day lyudmila luzan and anastasia rybachok became the silver medalists of the 2024 olympic games in rowing in the canoe double. the distance of 500 m. in tokyo 2020, luzan and rybachok, then still foursome, won silver medals in the same discipline it should be noted that in paris, ukrainian women will also perform in the semi-finals in the 200 m singles race. and again, another argument for the transition of our sport to the club system. because it is the work of the hirnyk club from the upper plavni that brings results. systematic training and sports traditions are the basis of awards. ukrainian greco-roman wrestler parviz nasibov lost to irantia esmaili leivesi in the decisive match of the olympic tournament, again, as in tokyo silver. now golden hopes for the next olympics in los angeles. for sure, who does not plan to go and fight at the next olympic games, that is zhan beleniuk. after the victory in the bronze medal match, our sports legend, the wrestler-deputy, danced the gpka and announced

the end of his sports career, symbolically removing the wrestlers. another olympic multi-medalist. the champion of paris oleksandr khizhnyak explained the importance of victories and what motivates him in the ring. i motivated myself to win the gold medal by the fact that many children watch me perform, they with their parents, with their own, watch, write, then they make a video, send it to me, and i wanted to do it not for myself, to be honest, but for my country, for kids who are starting to do boxing, who are starting to do sports. and wanted to show them that it is possible. upl bronze medalist, kryvbas started in the third qualifying round of the europa league with a defeat against czech viktoria plzeň (1:2). in the nominal home match in košice. kryvbas opened the score in the 20th minute, when after a cross from ivan dibango , pritz ada scored from close range. home advantage

lasted until the break, at the beginning of the second half, 16-year-old jiri panos restored parity for victoria. hit the nine with a spectacular shot. outside the penalty area. the final score in favor of the czechs was set by daniel vashulin, who took advantage of a mistake by the players of kryvbas 1:2. game answer in a week. to date, the score is 1:2 in favor of victoria, but we lost only the first match. the battle awaits us in polzen, i just know my team, my boys, i think we will drink more blood, we will not give up just like that. the chances are exactly 50 in my opinion on 50, and there life will show, the second round of the ukrainian premier league began, poltava vorskla rehabilitated after the defeat by miner in the first round of the relegation. serhiy dolgansky was confidently beaten away by kyiv left bank 3:0. another friday game, veres rivne-dynamo-kyiv is still ongoing. cheer for your own. thank you very much

alexander for the review. well, right now , some matches of the ukrainian premier league, which has resumed after, well , let's say, a summer break, are going on, dynamo kyiv is now... actually approaching the final in the match with veres, the dynamo team is playing away, the score is 1:2 in favor of kiyan, shaparenko and boyarskyi scored in the dynamo team at the capital club, well , and then the reserve goalkeeper of dynamo made a regrettable mistake, he simply passed the pass to the opponent, who in turn 'yach sent past the goalkeeper into the goal of the kyiv club, and also vors. poltava did not leave a chance to the newcomer of the premier league, the left bank team, winning with a score of 3:0. well, we will wait to see how these matches will end, and

there are also certain hopes and hopes for medals and today at the olympics, for those who follow the olympic competitions, there is something to count on, especially in terms of the ukrainian medal tally, well, i just wanted to say very briefly, now a lot is appearing. people who start hyping at events at the kurshchyna, someone says: why was this done, so what, and they try to give some kind of explanation, to hype, to attract the attention of the audience, i answered one person and will tell our viewers, i think, i don't think , i know that our viewers are educated, intelligent, professional people and they understand that military science is studied in academies, it is a science, you have to understand there... the complexity of operations, the scale of operations, interactions, prospects, risks, support, retreats, offensives, it is a very complex science,

read less about people who know about military science , just like me, let's say, about the atmosphere, about this, about the features of life there, whether there is life on saturn, something like that, and because there are a lot of people today who want to make a name for themselves, gather an audience or some other similar things to earn money, maybe even financially somewhere. commenting on something and telling why it happened, or what will happen, and how it will be, believe me, such operations, i will say again, are prepared by people who study military art, this is an art and this is a science, let's not forget about it, and let's not forget that about the weather, you also have to listen to people who have studied it, but we have a beautiful lady, natalka didenko, who is the best forecaster in ukraine, and she will tell us about what will happen to us this weekend, good evening, congratulations vasyl, thank you vasyl for such a great rating and such a nice compliment, well, we

let's move on to the weather forecast and not only about the weather, we will talk, as always, literally in a second, usually we talk about chestnuts, especially kyiv chestnuts in the spring, i'm always somewhere in may... i'm preparing some short material, i read a lot myself, but today we let's also talk about chestnuts and why, i think you have already paid attention, it's like a harbinger, it's still far away, but nevertheless, in autumn, the leaves on chestnuts already begin to rust, it's a little sad, but it is, but in fact it's an unnatural phenomenon , it is not always that was, and this is a disease, but first of all i want to say that the chestnuts, or rather the eyes that we... are used to seeing, it is called bitter chestnuts, they appeared a long time ago in the surrounding monasteries, somewhere in the 11th century , and it is assumed that brought by monks from byzantium, and

the rapid distribution took place in the 15th-18th centuries, well, imagine why they are ours, these beautiful wonderful chestnuts, why they have such a not very good appearance in the fall, let ’s say, the culprit is this fleeting moth chestnut, why... this word, by the way, is quite military, this is an outdated, fleeting, outdated meaning of the word dig up, and these pests make these digs, and they are so dangerous that they can, a little one there, literally, this insect can destroy very, very many leaves, in ukraine, this moth was first discovered in the lviv region, and until in polish it is called shroutu, which is a very funny name, and in latin it is just for beauty. that's why these leaves actually rust thanks to the passing moth, they are so

small. komasi and there is a treatment for it, but it is very expensive because it is treated each tree with some special preparations, solutions, well, now there are no funds for this, nevertheless, but we will wait for the next spring, when the chestnuts are green and without all kinds of shavings. we move on to the behavior of the earth's magnetic field, and now for your attention is a forecast chart, which shows that moderate and even strong magnets are expected tomorrow. storms, so i warn you that, well, if you feel bad, or you have noticed that this is precisely the deterioration of the state of health in connection with the prognosis, negative forecast, magnetic storms, well, this is exactly the case, so feel free to blame all kinds of migraines on magnetic storms, and of course , fortunately, they pass quickly, well, actually, we are now moving on to the behavior of the atmosphere over

ukraine, to the weather forecast. .. the next weekend, who has a weekend, who has work, but nevertheless, we always call saturday and sunday that way, so we will adhere to this tradition, so in the western regions of ukraine in the coming days, tomorrow, august 10, no precipitation is expected, there will be a lot of sun, the air temperature is comfortable, 25-28° above zero, in the north of ukraine tomorrow the air temperature will be similar, also somewhere from 25 to 27°, there will be a lot of sun, but in places... there is a chance of rain and thunderstorms tomorrow in the northern regions of ukraine, this is local, therefore, the sun will also be enough. in the east of ukraine , the anti-cyclonic nature of the weather will prevail tomorrow, 28-30°, well, in the kharkiv region , there is only a chance of rain in some areas, but dry air mass will dominate. in the central part of ukraine, the air temperature is also quite similar, in general

the air temperature, as you can see... does not differ much and will vary by 26-29° without significant precipitation, locally short-term rains and thunderstorms are possible, but this is most likely even of such an intra-mass character. moderate heat is expected in the southern part of ukraine tomorrow. 29-32° in the south, precipitation is not expected to be dry, and with such a fairly high air temperature, there is also an increased fire hazard. carefully, carefully. and in kyiv, in the capital. tomorrow, the air temperature is expected to be around +26°, there is a possibility a little rain and thunderstorms, in places, as we say, in some areas, kyiv is a large, large-scale city, but on sunday, august 11, in most regions of ukraine , dry, sunny weather with a fairly comfortable air temperature will prevail everywhere, and i literally want to say in one sentence, that the heat...

that i talked about there, it will be approximately from august 15-16, maybe at 38-39°, but the hot period is still waiting for us ukrainians, but of course, keep a close eye on the updated weather forecasts on the espresso channel. thank you very much natal snidenko for the information about the weather, well, i want to tell you, take care. ourselves to the armed forces of ukraine, we take care of each other and support the armed forces first of all, we will meet with you already on monday, if everything goes well and god willing at 18:10, well , literally in a few moments the verdict program with serhiy rudenko on the tv channel espresso, let's watch together and goodbye. good evening, we are from ukraine, today in

the verdict program with serhiy. legal right to protection. ukraine's international allies do not object to the transfer of ground hostilities to the territory of the aggressor country. as can the success of the kurdish operation affect kyiv's negotiating positions? zelenskyi's peace plan. the president's office confirmed that at the second global summit they hope to present the peace formula to a representative of russia. why did lukashenko talk about the possible consequences of the collapse of the empire? kamala harris is gaining momentum. polls indicate an increase in the advantage of the candidate from the democrats over the opponent from the republican party. how does the ukrainian government build relations with both candidates?
