the higher anti-corruption court chose preventive measures for the suspect in the case of the ex-deputy minister of energy. 24-hour house arrest was ordered for the former head of the state enterprise, who, according to the investigation , participated in a corruption scheme. another suspect, the manager of a limited liability company, was ordered to be detained with an alternative bail of uah 7 million. i will remind you that yesterday we told that the security service for... received half a million dollars in bribes from the former deputy minister of energy oleksandr hale, law enforcement officials reported that the official demanded money from the heads of state mines of lviv oblast and volyn oblast for the transfer of unique equipment that was planned to be delivered from donetsk oblast. the national bank of ukraine plans to finish work on the pi2 limit on transfers for individuals. the works are going to be finished by the end of the week. it was reported. head

of the national bank andriy pishnyi. so, let's find out. the changes are as follows: no more than 30 operations per month for one account and up to uah 100,000 in volume. the head of the national bank says that this will, in fact, intensify the struggle and so with so-called drops, i.e. bank accounts of ordinary ukrainians who give their details for use by outsiders. untaxed funds often passed through these accounts. this is a danger not only for the state budget, but also for ordinary ukrainians themselves, he says. magnificent, because by giving your bank details, a card, to someone on the side, a person is responsible for everything that someone did with this account. more than 2 billion dollars and euros have been sent to russia from the united arab emirates and turkey since march 2022, this since the united states and the eu banned the export of their banknotes to the aggressor country. this is reported by rod agency.

citing customs data, the kremlin managed to circumvent sanctions here that block the import of cash. analysts suggest that the currency remains a tool for trade and travel in arefia, despite moscow's efforts to reduce dependence on it. according to russian economist dmytro pelivoy, the dollar is still a reliable currency for private individuals there, particularly for savings. we see, after all. how not cool, and the dollar is still a stable currency in muscovy, in general, how is the russian economy holding up now during the war and what margin of safety is there, we will talk about this further with the guest who joins the conversation, yuliya pavytska, head of the sanctions department of the kyiv analytical center school of economics, good evening, good evening, mrs. yulia, here is a question, we see the stability of the russian gross domestic product, despite the fact that already... a lot of

sanctions packages have been implemented against the aggressor country, in your opinion, or international the community did not finalize, or overestimated, maybe the margin of safety of the russian gdp? analyze first of all, i would like to point out that it is wrong to evaluate the effectiveness and effect of sanctions solely on the basis of the gdp data of the russian federation, since these figures, which we are currently observing, are solely the result of a fiscal stimulus, an impulse from extremely high record state expenditures, which finance precisely the sphere of the military-industrial complex, and here it is worth understanding that this is not normal growth, as according to the economic textbook theories, because this is low-quality growth, there is no investment, everything that the military-industrial complex generates is quite quick, it is all destroyed at the front, so it does not lead to any of the... becoming of high quality

and actually a very big question now exactly how the russian economy will react when this fiscal impulse finally ends, when they will either not be able to carry it out, or there after the ukrainian victory, when they will not make such large expenditures. as for the overall effectiveness of sanctions, here we are it is worth admitting that, in general, the expectations of sanctions at the beginning of the invasion were exceeded. and it is also important to understand that exactly how sanctions work over time has not been sufficiently communicated, because really, when sanctions are introduced, at the beginning there is the greatest effectiveness in the short term, because there is a certain shock to the market, but then it adapts, russia is looking for new ways circumventing sanctions, it is actually important that the countries of the sanctions coalition continue to increase the pressure in order

to maintain this level of pressure and effect sanctions on certain sectors of the russian economy, it should also be taken into account that the sanctions are not uniform in terms of countries, there are up to 40 countries in the sanctions coalition that adhere to and introduce sanctions restrictions to a certain extent, while at the same time the same friendly countries remain, for whom cooperation with russia remains, it is just business, the same china, india and turkey and other smaller countries that are in the zone of influence of the russian federation actually help them to find. ways to bypass sanctions, ms. yulia, but here is a question about well such a powerful work of the russian central bank, here we must pay tribute to the head of the central bank of russia, mrs. nabiulinia, in fact, the mechanisms are used to the maximum,

we can talk and write books about their professionalism, but how much of this margin of safety can be enough and what consequences can there be, well , here is the collapse of the essence of the financial system, i am sure that this collapse on... i, unfortunately, have to absolutely agree with you that it is really worth recognizing the professionalism of nabiulnaya and the fact that the central bank of the russian federation has a full mandate for actions to withstand economic situation. regarding the tools they use, it is problematic for them that half of their gold and foreign exchange reserves remain frozen, and it is more difficult for them to get the exchange rate of the ruble. also. they are now very concerned about the unfolding and acceleration of inflation, as it is also fueled by high pay for the same military, and in fact they recently raised the discount rate by 2% points, and made money in the economy even more expensive. regarding

the tools that remain in the central bank, they can still bring back tighter currency restrictions, since they recently loosened them, but... also the question is to what extent it will work and be effective, because now the situation in the russian economy is such that on the one hand they are clamping down on it , and on the other hand, as you know, it ’s a pipe, you closed one part of the hole, but somewhere in another part of the economy , the pressure is starting to increase, and actually the fact that the central bank not only raised the discount rate, but also in principle is considering the possibility of a further increase, creates problems for russian...fin, namely it is extremely difficult for them to attract domestic debt to finance the budget, and in fact, the greater the pressure on budget revenues, the more difficult it will be for the russian government to find ways to finance it, given that the cost of

domestic debt for it is constantly growing, and they cannot go outside, and the same china is in no hurry to lend them a financial helping hand. ms. yulia and the last question, but quite important, i would like to hear your opinion, well , the kremlin still receives significant revenues from oil trade despite sanctions, despite the upper limit of the sale of bloody barrels, well, the so-called shadow fleet uses it for this, it is clear that some companies, there is information, still comply with the sanctions, try not to work with the aggressor country, but nevertheless, is it possible to apply secondary sanctions for those entrepreneurs who help russia sell barrels abroad by tankers. yes, in fact, oil revenues remain export revenue the biggest challenge, now they fluctuate at the level of 17 billion dollars per month, which russia will receive from oil exports and

oil products, and indeed the shadow fleet is the main challenge and the mechanism by which they circumvent sanctions, i want to note that our partners practice on... sanctions specifically on tankers, and these tankers are quite effective in our estimation, because most of the tankers, they are completely withdrawn from trade and in general the entire market does not cooperate with them, and we currently have only one case out of 55 that violated the sanctions, in fact, we have already passed all the information to our partners so that the violator and those companies that interacted with it tanker, secondary sanctions were imposed, you absolutely. you note that the partners should more actively bring to justice those who interact and are violators of sanctions, we also actively call for this strategy of sanctioning tankers in general to be expanded, because it most effectively removes these tankers from

access to the russian federation , and it will be more problematic for them to attract new tankers, the further they go, also from the point of view of additional costs for them. budget, thank you for a thorough analysis, yuliya pavytska, the head of the sanctions direction of the analytical center of the kyiv school of economics, was in touch, i will add here, vasyl, in one of your programs, the economist ivan. said that the strength of the russian economy would be enough for at least one more year, this figure was also heard. i will conclude the column about money during the war with this, there will be more later, watch us. thank you, oleksandr, morchivtka, thank you, dear lady, who spoke in detail about those topics that are worth knowing about, because you know, talking about the fact that russia fell apart. tomorrow, or that it hasn't developed in 100 years is one thing, but to speak professionally is quite another, but you can

count on professional conversations while waiting for the verdict program, which starts at 8 p.m., the author and presenter serhiy rudenko is already with us in touch and he will tell you what will be discussed today. sergey, good evening, please. good evening, vasyl. today at 8 p.m. we start with a two-hour verdict program. we will have two parts of this program, in the first part we will have an officer of the armed forces of ukraine. minister of infrastructure volodymyr omelyan, military expert mykhailo samus and political expert maksym rozumny. in the second part, which will start at 21:15, we will have people's deputies of ukraine, yaroslav zheleznyak, yevgenia kravchuk, as well as rostyslav pavlenko. let's talk, of course, about what is happening in ukraine and outside of ukraine. well, of course, the most important, most relevant topic is kursk. a breakthrough today oleksandr syrskyi, the head of the armed forces of ukraine, has already said that the armed forces of ukraine

control 74 settlements on enemy territory and have taken control of 44 km of territory, well, at least that's what oleksandr syrsky says, how everything is going on... the kurdish arc with the kursk breakthrough of the armed forces of ukraine and let's talk with omelian and samus. i hope that we will receive qualified and expert assessments of what is happening in korshchyna. and most importantly, how ukraine can use the current breakthrough in negotiations with the russian federation, in the expected negotiations on future peace. whether there will be peace given putin's position and taking into account... what one of the leaders of the hostile to us is saying and doing today

country maksym rozumny and i will talk about the situation with the moscow church in ukraine, because i understood from the rhetoric of president zelensky that very soon there will be decisions on the part of the ukrainian state, finally there will be decisions regarding the ukrainian church in ukraine. of the church in ukraine and what, exactly, what these decisions will be, is not known for sure, well , maybe it will be partially explained to us in the deputy studio by yevheniya kravchuk, rostyslav pavlenko and yaroslav zheleznyak. let's also talk about corruption in the government. the deputy minister of energy was caught in bribes of half a million dollars and about this bribe, which was supposed to go to the deputy minister. as i understand it, i knew the minister of energy, and in this situation he acted as a person who

suggested to buysab that it is necessary to deal with the deputy and put all the dots over and. in short, we have a lot of topics, a lot of guests, a lot of comments and a lot of, i hope, expert evaluations. starting at 20:00 in 16 minutes, we go on the air, vasyl's big broadcast from... continues, we will meet you, stay for espresso, wait for the verdict program, thank you serhiy, so at 20:00 we are waiting for serhiy rudenko, i was listening to serhiy, the next topic of conversation will be about football, and me because today i in white and blue colors, a white t-shirt, a blue jacket, and today dynamo will decide its fate in the champions league, either to continue or to switch. to the europa league, the decisive battle will take place, well, i hope it will still be a good match, and not right there in glasgow, in

scotland at kenden park stadium, and kenden park, and now ulaskovach, a correspondent of radio liberty in great britain, is arriving there, he will talk about the atmosphere before the match, and maybe other details that have already become known, and most importantly, the support of the ukrainians, how strong it will be, mr. lesya, i congratulate you, please , tell me, greetings from glasgow, yes actually. today the city lives on football, today it is about the fact that i am now standing in front of the hamden park stadium, where glasgow rangers will play dynamo kyiv, the only thing that... inspires us is that this stadium, is not the home stadium for glasgow rangers, glasgow rangers home stadium ibox is closed for renovations, so dynamo kyiv, who as we all know play their home games in european cups abroad,

also to some extent glasgow rangers will play their home game away . their home ground so to speak, so anything is possible, i spoke to a few reviewers from the glasgow rangers website, people from glasgow magazines and they said it was very important because the actual atmosphere in the stadium which now like i said close on reconstruction, is different from the atmosphere in the stadium. let's not forget that ukraine won two important victories. let's go back to 2021, when ukraine beat sweden in face-to-face games literally in the last minutes of the game, thanks to a 2:1 scoreline. let's not forget the 3:1 in the head-to-head games

before the world cup at hamdon. and so oleksandr shavkovskyi, coach of dynamo kyiv, said that hamdon. is such a rather, let's say, lucky stick for ukrainian teams, not only for the national team of ukraine, but also for any ukrainian team, in particular now dynamo-kyiv, so we'll see what happens, in addition, again, talking to the commentators from glasgow with the specialists from lago rangers, they're all somehow trying to... er, let's say so, er, keep it all eh quite pessimistic, why, because for them, because the new coach of glasgow rangers, philippe clemont, a belgian french-speaking coach and former player, is trying to introduce a european style of football, while glasgow rangers have always played scottish football,

big attack, big physical loads in... yes, the team is a bit raw, so let's watch at 19:45 local time, 21:45 kyiv time, we will see what will happen on the field. thank you very much, well, let the game be fair and the stronger will win, but of course we ukrainians cheer for kyiv. dynamo oles kovach, uk correspondent, radio liberty. i don't know, maybe the new coach wants to teach the scots how to play. in european football, but at least that match in lublin, in lublin, poland, showed that scotland, when it came to scoring, played scottish football, crosses, headers, crosses, but one of which was fatal for kyiv dynamo, but 1:1, the chances are equal, and of course dynamo is a team that can solve this issue, so

good luck, and let's not forget, in any case , this emotional support is important for... fans, and the second thing is that these are, after all , points for the rating of ukrainian teams in european cups, this is also very important, so it would be desirable to win, but further on, the next opponent will be waiting for ukraine in the champions league if they go further. yes, now i, now we have a review of culture news, we talked a little about sports, because we could n't not talk about it today, especially since our correspondent was, well, a correspondent. svoboda was in glasgow, but now about, but now about what will be discussed in the column culture with iryna chechenina, a car made of spare parts, the fall of the empire and space for interpretations. on the territory of sofia of kyiv, you can now see a series of sculptures by ukrainian artists. all this within the framework of the international open-air sculpture biennial. ilyana

cheschenina will now show us some of them and tell us about the first reaction of the first viewers. please, have a word, good evening, congratulations vasyl, greetings to our viewers, the reaction is very different, but i observe visitors who watch different things, get acquainted with visual art, in general, and i will say that they really need explanations from artists, i'll talk about some of them in a second. so here is one of the artists, a total of... 12 artists presented their sculptures, 12 to be exact in september, because three more artists are finalizing their

works and will present them very soon, but we want to show you one of them, and i will tell you the explanation of the artist kostyantyn synytskyi himself, this work is called the rise of the empire in ukrainian, or in english game over, and i thought that it absolutely has an unambiguous meaning tract because the fall of the empire, well, what else can come to mind for us and you, if not there, i don’t know, some collective putin who is falling, who is breaking down, whose last days are coming, that’s how he seems to be big and scary, but some such a little holey, it's all over now will fall apart, but the artist, when he was here and explained to my colleagues and all of us here that he invested in this sculpture, he said that he invested a lot, because it... firstly, it took a very long time to make, and his vision was changing, and secondly, he, like many other artists, artists and curators, said

that in general it is up to the audience to interpret what they see there, if you see something different, then it is the right answer, and he is pleased when each viewer sees something different. this is enough of an opinion that not everyone shares, because there is viewers who want to hear and see. exactly the idea that the author put in, and not what they came up with themselves, but in any case i will say that this is all happening on the territory of sofia of kyiv, the organizers of this exhibition guessed very well, because the festival starts here from thursday kyiv bouquet stage, there will be a lot of people here, we will tell you about it separately, while visiting here and there in a corner something has already started, i will tell you what is here, now you will be able to see. video that we did not shoot for you, first of all, moths, i think that these are very instagrammable sculptures, right at the beginning, when you enter sofia kyivska, there are motankas oli rundyakyak,

a ukrainian artist who lives in the united states, she generally specializes in motankas, we once had a big exhibition of her in kyiv, and they are very interesting, different interesting interpretations, here, maybe you saw different spare parts, i think they are spare parts, unfortunately, mrs. ola is not there, she... her husband came to the states, he said hello from her to everyone, said, that it is still to come, and there is also a large scale the sculpture of minin, which is so black, a black and white rugby player, it seems to me that people will also take a lot of pictures with him, in general, people take pictures with these sculptures, and olesya dvoryk halyk also told me, she said, when there is a sculpture behind there too very instagrammable, here she is... from such ceramics and many other artists also said that yes, it would be very cool if these sculptures were exhibited somewhere in the city space, so that people would constantly see them, but

the artists say that they are not very good, they worry about their sculptures, because people start to touch them or even steal something if something is attached badly, so maybe, unfortunately, we don't see a lot of such sculptures in our cities, because everyone is worried. but i think that everything is ahead and we will have a culture of these urban sculptures, because they really beautify the city and make various walks much more interesting. that's it, that's all i have, i'll go, i'll probably talk to a few more artists. very thank you lena chichenya, our ordinary lena is beautiful, but also wonderful. installations, sculptures, i think that the people of kyiv, guests of the city who have the time, opportunity and inspiration and desire, of course, should visit and join this, well

, now we will join the weather forecast, natalka didenko will tell about it, mrs. natalya, good evening, firstly, secondly, today i was just saying that yesterday i was very surprised at the mastery of the headline, one of the resources wrote: a powerful, terrible heat is rushing to ukraine, i thought that the heat is rushing to in principle, it cannot, but here... the question is not whether it is rushing, not rushing, whether it is sleeping, whether it is approaching, but whether it will be or not, please, eh, well , mostly my kittens rush at me at 5 in the morning, to be honest, so what does the heat, we 'll definitely talk about that, and not just about that, literally in a second, before we talk about the heat or the rain or the weather constant in general, let's look up a little bit, look at the sky, because right now it 's incredible beautiful clouds, especially they are very beautiful, here in the second half of summer, in august,

with... you know, sad, long, non-stop rains, cirrus clouds from 600 to 10 00 m, they do not give, well, there is no precipitation with them, but when you see clouds like feathers, it can be a witness to a change in the weather, that is, cirrus clouds, they predict a change in the weather, and there are such layered cumulus clouds, they are observed actually during bad weather, well, that is , when it rains, these are the main types. clouds, in fact, the classification of clouds is very large, you can inquire yourself, atlas is of course, on the network, there are very beautiful, interesting all kinds of clouds, we recently, by the way , mentioned with you, observed, i personally saw the anvil cloud, it is very, this is one of the varieties of a cumulus rain cloud, well, in a word , we are photographing beautiful clouds now and later i will i'll tell you what they will be tomorrow, but for now we 're moving on to our traditional subheading

dry air mass. 22-24°, that is, fresh, well, especially even fresh at night, at the extreme in the middle of the night it can be 10-12 degrees of heat, agree that it is already clearly cool. in the east of ukraine, tomorrow in kharkiv oblast, luhansk oblast, donetsk oblast, the air temperature is a little higher than in the north, 25-27°, but also without precipitation and also a lot of sun, beautiful weather. well, in the central part of ukraine , thermometers will range from 24 to... 27-28°, dnipropetrovsk will be warmer , vinnytsia will be fresher, and precipitation is not expected here either. it will be the warmest in the southern part of ukraine. temperature air 28-30°, sometimes up to 31, no precipitation, dry, sunny weather with a fresh night and such a comfortably warm day. well, in kyiv, in the capital tomorrow, august 14, according to the old style, there
