units, it would be very logical to establish private military companies in this form, but we have been talking about this for the fifth year and have three bills, which experts call quite empty and far from how private military companies should be built, and this is the possibility of asymmetric actions , including the carrying out of powerful engineering works on the already captured territory, now... another aspect that is very important, which, probably, this offensive is also dedicated to, namely the presidential elections in the united states, and here it is necessary especially to emphasize that there are american forces, in particular, well, two senators, a republican and a democrat, visited kyiv, this, graham and

blumenthal, these two senators want to submit such a bipartisan bill of law, supported by both parties, which would provide assistance to ukraine for 25- and year, this is a very important insurance against trump, let's say so, against the coming of trump. experts have already analyzed the possibility of such a promotion of such a law and say that... first of all , it would be very important if camila harris, even if she did not win, but went with trump, still better, if she were to win, then that would be a very important indicator for speaker johnson to consider this project to raise his own political stakes, because now he is completely dependent on trump if trump wins... and tells

him not to do this, he will not introduce this bill, and if it is camila garis who wins, then he needs to introduce it by november 5th and then consider it by the end of december, so once again the future of ukraine partly depends on the american political community, and depends on how the course will be, the course of the presidential campaign in the united states. states, well, let's hope that camila garis will gain momentum, and to be honest, now we have lost a little connection with zolotyn bodrak, now we will restore him if we manage to do it, now, mr. valentin, the connection has been lost a little , i would like to ask you extreme questions now, given that time is running out quite quickly, how would you rate the actions now against... how will this

putin clan act now because he is forced to respond to ukrainian offensives, but how will the attempts to oust ukrainian troops from their own territory be complete, or, relatively speaking, will it be limited to this counter-terrorist operation, which in reality, well, in my opinion, is unlikely to be one that will really be able to fulfill these goals of ousting ukrainian troops, which your forecast of the enemy's actions, there is actually a huge... danger and a huge risk associated with the fact that the kremlin can create a seemingly simplified approach to defense, and such a simplified approach to the defense of ukrainian troops a trap, and to lure the defense forces more, for example, than 80 km deep, if this happens and everything will ... live absolutely, as i

have already expressed, on the presence of prepared powerful reserves, because in the event that they exist, and if they are ready, then it will not be a problem for ukraine, and it will be possible to develop success and then, if necessary, go on the defensive, if there are not enough reserves, in fact, quoting ukrainian soldiers who were wounded and who were transferred from other... directions literally a day before the offensive, well no directly, but it indicates a lack of reserves, and if the reserves are not enough, then such a mess will be very dangerous, therefore, the actions of russia, they seem to have just recovered from the suddenness and are starting to implement something, but they can slow it down artificially, artificially slow it down. precisely the preparation for repulse, and

they can artificially raise reserves not on the line of contact, but further away, say 20, 30 km away. and of course, a lot will depend on intelligence and means of attack, here ukraine has already demonstrated its defense forces demonstrated enormous power, both the destruction of the airfields that you talked about, as well as the destruction of the sniper artillery itself, of those units, in particular, which were going for reinforcements, which were overturned, and here, in fact, the ukrainian defense forces have an advantage over... indeed, we see that the initiative is in the hands of the defense forces of ukraine, and precisely because of this, we are observing the rise, the increase in morale and fighting spirit, this is a very, very important aspect in this war, and this offensive has already fulfilled

its role, already, regardless of the results future negotiations, panetin, mr. valentin, thank you very much for your such accurate, interesting assessments, certain sentences that... the actions of the enemy, we will see how practice or time will confirm your conclusions, and i will remind our viewers that valentin badarak was on the air of the class , director of the army, conversion and disarmament research center, these were the main military accents of this day, then vasyl zima will continue the broadcast, so stay tuned to the espresso channel. thanks to serhiy zagorets. thanks to his guest, we continue the big ether, i want to say that in part of the territory an air alert has been announced in ukraine, in particular an air alert has been announced in chernihiv oblast, poltava oblast, sumy, kharkiv oblast, donetsk oblast, luhansk oblast .

an explosion was heard in poltava oblast, this was reported by local sources, so be careful, residents of those regions where now... the alarm has been declared, regarding the threat, then the threat is, according to information from the air defense forces, the launch or possible launch of ballistic missiles from the territory kursk region. well, now i will call you to join the gathering. there are new needs , the espresso tv channel and the vesna charitable fund opened a fundraiser for the purchase of modern systems, drones and electronic warfare systems for the third separate assault brigade, as well as for the 10th armed forces of ukraine. the defenders in the donetsk direction every day hold back enemy attacks, defend our freedom and future. it was these soldiers who stood to the last and defended the avdiiv direction in the spring. brigades urgently need flying weapons and modern means of countering enemy drones.

journalist of the capri tv channel, mrs. alyona, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, you know, i understand that the situation is so difficult and so complicated, what in... to choose about which population the point is definitely not for me to talk about from kyiv right now, so i would ask you to say in general to understate the humanitarian situation, since it is critical precisely in those settlements or near those settlements where active and rather heavy and not quite, but very heavy battles are actually going on , it is meant on foot, mostly in the pokrovsky direction, and then we can talk specifically about these or other settlements, where the active evacuation process is currently underway and what difficulties are associated with it, it is possible to implement the removal of the local population, please, uh, congratulations once again, the situation in our communities really remains tense, because the enemy does not stop its offensive, constantly shelling the front-line communities, unfortunately, of course, people are wounded and killed, and i can say that to

the humanitarian the situation, fortunately still in pokrovsk, where i live now, most shops, pharmacies are all open, most shops are open only... some entrepreneurs are leaving, humanitarian aid is given to residents, both residents and internally displaced persons, in addition to pokrovska now residents of turetsk are coming very actively. communities that are brought here, they are in a shelter, and then they leave by evacuation train or other transport to safer regions, i can say that i really confused everyone, probably, and very much involved everyone in such an active evacuation, attached the decision on forced evacuation children from a number of front-line settlements, i.e. novohorodivska, grodivska, selidivska, myrnogradska communities. in general, they had to withdraw from these settlements, this decision was taken on august 5, and on august 5

, more than 4,000 minors were to be removed from these settlements, as of today, approximately 2,200 minors remain to be removed, that is, this process of removal of children with their parents or legal representatives is actively ongoing, if we take it specifically by community, then one by one information from the novogorodivsk community, to which the information was literally updated, that the enemy had a little more than 3 km left, and luckily all the children had already been evacuated from the novogorodivsk community. there are 10 addresses that are currently being checked by the police, where children may still be, but this is information, they may or may not be, this information is being checked, as it concerns the myrnograd community, where a decision was also made to evacuate children, so... . as of yesterday evening, on august 13 , there were still 1,229 children in the community, but

the evacuation process continues every day, and i am 100 percent sure that tomorrow this number will be, well , maybe a couple of hundred less, i want to tell you a little . about the process itself, as people are taken out, they are taken out by special evacuation crews, which include policemen, rescuers and representatives of the local military administration. 20 such crews are currently working, i.e., from these settlements in which forced evacuation has been announced, 20 crews are working, then people are delivered to shelters or to pokrovsk, where they are waiting for an evacuation train, where they can go either to lviv oblast every day, or until now evacuation continues to the rivne region, once every 8 days, an evacuation train appears, and people can rest in these shelters, come to their senses, they are fed there. they are provided with humanitarian, psychological, and legal assistance there, and then they go to safer

regions. today there was just such a flight, my colleagues worked on the railway, i’m sorry, are these special trains or people, are they ordinary passenger trains, they just put people on there and they feel at ease, no, this is a special evacuation train, it runs in donetsk region, precisely from pokrovsk, first a full-scale invasion, it runs daily to lviv oblast and to the dnipro, and this... absolutely free of charge, people only need to sign up, leave their application, their data, they will often be told the meeting place, they are brought to the railway station in pokrovsk in an organized manner, they are seated there, and then they already leave, and as i said, once every day it goes to lviv oblast, to lviv and to the dnipro, and once every 8 days there is an evacuation to rivne oblast, where people are also provided with a representation. this accommodation, whether it is in places of compact accommodation, it is dormitories

or shelters, or if there is such an opportunity, they are resettled already in some private houses, but the local government deals with this, relatively speaking, whether it is the city or regional lviv region, rivne region, it is their responsibility, because as far as i know, the local government also deals with this in khmelnytskyi and offers it to the residents, either of the zaporizhia region, well, where there are combatants. are taking place where there is the most need, now, of course, it is the hottest, in donetsk region, so they are offering opportunities and preparing, not just offering to come, we will have a look at the station, drink coffee, decide, no, they are preparing certain opportunities, what you about talked about, then again, is it the local government, are there also activists, maybe some volunteer organizations, maybe some international funds, non-governmental ones get involved, well, to roughly understand where people go and who takes care of them there, well, i can tell you , that both at the level of local authorities and at the level of... regional authorities, this whole process has been worked out, for example, here i

was evacuated only on saturday together with the residents of the novogrodivska community, and we went to poltava oblast to the city of ryshetilivka, and this is at the level of regional there were military administrations the agreement that places for compact living will be arranged, thanks to benefactors, thanks to their help , one of the slums in the city of ryshitilivka was renovated, and i was there personally, i personally saw the conditions where people are brought, this is modern renovation, this is modern furniture , these are kitchens that are equipped with everything necessary, well, all the household appliances that are needed for life, people are also provided with psychological help there, volunteers from the proliska humanitarian mission work with these people, they also help to issue documents, who, if they lost something there, for example, were burned in a fire during shelling, people were also given humanitarian kits, both hygienic

and promised that in the near future they would help them get... monetary assistance from the unhcr in the amount of uah 10,800 per person, and i spoke with the people who left, it was novogrodivka, grodivka, and the village of novoekonomichne grodivska hromada, and people were very satisfied with the conditions in which they were settled. the marinograd community, i know, cooperates with the dnipropetrovsk region the military administration, there, for example, there is such a settlement of tsayuchanka, they are also arranging places there. a small residence where people can wait, maybe someone will find themselves there and rent a house, i apologize, maybe someone will go there further to relatives, someone can live there as long as they need it, well, here we are, just yesterday i read the map of the hostilities and i am a bit

oriented by the new situation in donetsk region, well, yes, but here are some... populated areas, don't look, either the fighting is going on, or already the front is approaching, there is such a big arc, there are selidovy and novogrodivka, and grodivka, and oleksandropil, myrnograd, of course, new york, and i would also like to ask, well , of course, that people who remain in such a situation, obviously where the front is already advancing, or it is on the approach, that is shelling, grenade launchers, drones are all there, to bring some kind of humanitarian aid to these people, obviously no one is doing this anymore, that is, you either leave, or you are for... on own discretion, and i, but this is not even about that, although it can be about to remember, but is there any information about the settlements that the enemy is currently occupying in donetsk region, right now, because this is the situation and from where people have not left, how, whether the enemy is moving on and not, does not stay there, does not deal with those who here there is, there is some torture, something else, something else, that is, the people who remain again

fall into the occupation now, right now in donetsk region, is it known about their fate, alas,... uh, i can't do anything to say about this , because, well, this is only what we can read there from some publications or testimonies of people who are leaving, or is it some kind of discussion in local chats, but we already understand that such information may not be 100% true there, but as i understand it, well, if we take the same avdiivka, for example, and when we there they talked all the time with the heads of the vdiiv city administration. and they said that even there humanitarian aid was then given to the residents that was brought by our guys, our soldiers, our volunteers, and that side then the occupiers gave them, gave them to the residents, so these are the same boxes that are there are issued to us every month, they then issued this aid and presented it as

their own, but we later, you know, we even later heard this russian prisoner of war who talked about the atrocity. which he committed and the rapes and shootings of families, so of course, i am here very briefly literal emotion, here you are now in the city of pokrov, for which the fighting is actually going on, the enemy is clearly rushing, the enemy wants to seize and move further there, seizing donetsk region, the situation is not easy, defense forces are doing what they can do, i think maybe even more, in general, the situation in the city, here is your feeling of emotions, well, it is difficult to understand now, if you are not there and where there are no active hostilities, how to be in the city? near which such powerful forces of the enemy are now gathered, well, if i speak personally about my feelings, it hurts me a lot, i am very sorry that i will probably have to leave the city soon, although i really don’t want to do it, because you know, we probably the people of pokrov have all

come to love their city, as they have never loved it, this is exactly the situation when you realize that you can... you will have to to go, and there are a lot of people who simply leave with tears in their eyes, but they leave it for the sake of safety and say that even, well, not even, but when the war ends, we will definitely return and live in our native pokrovsk, that we don't need big cities, we don't need that foreign country, we want to live in our pokrovsk, i have to end on this note, i really thank you very much for your work, for the way... despite a very difficult situation, which you give , for the information you issue from the city, for which real, for which the battles are now going on, olona sobolenko, from pokrovsk, journalist of the capri tv channel, donetsk region about the situation. there , we will now talk about money, because as napoleon bonaparte said, war is money, money and money again, if anyone did not evaluate it, it is true, and actually about the prospects of autumn, about

eh, ideas about raising taxes and the first reaction, which is in the verkhovna rada of ukraine. ivan krulko, people's deputy of ukraine, we are in touch, mr. ivan, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, i will start briefly, and the question will be very short, so your colleague, the deputy. yaroslav dzheleznyak wrote that the first deputy, the deputy head of the council's committee on tax and customs policy, that the council will not consider the government's draft laws on raising taxes and allocating an additional 500 billion uah for defense until the end of august, well, i will not elaborate further on that, and explain why, where to get the money and what are the expectations and preparations for the fall, which already raises the question before us, that money will be needed, and it must be taken somewhere, first of all to the army, of course, first of all. please, thank you, well, let's take it one by one, we've heard from the government that they say they need to raise taxes, because there's a hole in the budget, and

that hole needs to be covered by increasing taxes, actually the budget that's been passed for 2024, it e is fully implemented, and it is the government's desire to increase the expenditure part. budget by 500 billion, led to the fact that a bill on raising taxes was submitted in parallel, that is, when the question arose that we need more money for the armed forces, the government did nothing but raising taxes for small and medium-sized businesses, and in principle for citizens, they did not find, of course, that such actions caused discussions in the parliament and disagreement, in particular , we, as a homeland, have a negative attitude to the increase. taxes, even in conditions of war, because we understand that this does not contribute to the development of the economy, on the contrary, it will decrease, revenues to the budget, in the short

term, may increase, but in the long term the business will simply close and will not even pay what it pays here . if we talk about state partnership, business and citizens, then without a strong rear , there will definitely be no success at the front, that is, the rear must provide everything. what is needed for the army must work, and therefore during the war, the best option is, on the contrary , to stimulate business through additional opportunities for its development, including through a reduction in taxes, a reduction in tax inspections, and when tax inspections were fully restored, when and so sufficiently high taxes have already been introduced, when a business survives for years, to impose an additional burden on it seems to me... and especially when it was not discussed with the business community, but such innovations were simply brought to parliament as a bill, it is certain that they

could not be accepted by the majority of the room, and what my colleague said about the lack of votes , then we will see how they will gather, but i can tell you that the discussions in the parliament in this regard will be quite lively and tough, because our position, the position of the motherland on... is that business should feel the influence of the state's movements in order to be motivated to pay taxes, in order to fulfill one's duty accordingly, in order to help the front and donate to the armed forces of ukraine, and this should be done through a joint dialogue, not a monologue, when something is simply thrown at you, and everyone should accept it, therefore it is undeniable that as an increase in military. the fee needs to be discussed from 1.5% to 5%, and it is indisputable that the increase in the tax burden for small businesses, which they simply will not bear, is also

a big question mark, how many businesses will we have left in ukraine? well, what a hole they talked about 500 billion plus, it can be increased, our military is being mobilized every day, of course, the battles are difficult, we are expanding the front somewhere, trying to counter the enemy, act. symmetrically, it requires, well, excuse me, when several brigades go on and fight somewhere, it is in addition to the salary, it is also fuel, food and many, many other things, well, this is a lot of money, but again, if we if we don't give this money, then another army will come, we all understand this perfectly well, but there is a hole of 500 billion, and again it is said that this issue it will be necessary to decide, if not, if the taxes are like this, society will understand the increase in taxes, everyone who can will pay, who can't, well, that's the story, we'll just lose business, what you're right about, small business that won't be able to pass , he will simply close, well he can’t, he doesn’t have these capabilities, on the other hand, you can quickly find money in the shadows, when we see

4 million euros in the trunks of cars, that’s pennies for 500 billion, but it’s still symptomatically, people have a question, so maybe there is some money somewhere that is also worth it it would be possible to get it from some schemes, and we understand that this is gray import and many, many other things, this issue can be solved effectively and quickly in order to take the money somewhere not only from taxes, but maybe there is somewhere else where you just need to and to reduce some programs, maybe which are not needed now, maybe some expenses which are not really relevant now, but... to solve it again in the period of september, the beginning of october, and not before, and not before that , and not until the new year, please, i will give you a very specific example: in 2021 in january of this year , a temporary investigative commission was created in the parliament, and the parliament assigned me to head it, which dealt with the issue of tax audit and customs audit, in particular, we helped out the issue of the so-called problems with the value added tax, that is

, tax evasion. and in addition, vat, which was not returned in a legal way. so, due to our work, this temporary investigative commission, we were able to return to the state budget within six months, and this, by the way, is confirmed by the conclusions of the ministry of finance, to return to the state budget more than 50 billion hryvnias, only because of what we managed to bring in the tax bloc. order and correct those mistakes that allowed unscrupulous taxpayers to avoid paying taxes and carry out so-called tax frauds, that is, 50 billion and more - this is only due to the work of one temporary investigative commission of the parliament, er, that is, it was a concrete result, so i can tell you for sure that this is a major direction that the government continues to pursue,

law enforcement agencies should also be engaged in, because the funds, precisely in this component, where there is the so-called shadow circulation of money, where taxes are not paid, where there is evasion of payment, it should be the first direction that the government should take up. the second issue is the issue of the work of the customs, its transparency, transparent activity and increase, just the income to the budget from the effective work of the customs, this is the second component, and... if we were to deal with this today, seriously, and not only, you know, in some conversations, but objectively, i believe that ukraine has the potential to find additional funds during the year and, whatever required an increase in taxes for small and medium-sized businesses, therefore, in my opinion, this direction is precisely suffering,

the effective work is not carried out here... which should be done by the government, and it must be done, and on the other hand, of course, that we should analyze the state budget by the end of its year, what could be cut today and there are unnecessary or unreasonable expenses, they should obviously be reduced and everything should be given to the armed forces of ukraine at the front, here sad no maybe, mr. ivan, there is no hope, well, i also hope that they will consider the ban. of the church, or rather, of the russian agency in ukraine, because all russians, well, those priests who are now in the uoc mp, so-called, can go to the ocu, no one forbids them to do so, but hope that this will be the result, but let's go back to the effectiveness and coherence of the work of the verkhovna rada in these matters, despite the various political differences there, thank you very much for joining, thank you and take care, good evening, ivan krulko, people's deputy of ukraine, i am i am monitoring the situation about...

an alarm was announced, there were explosions in poltava region, in lubny, i don't see any more information, again, unfortunately, today there was information that hospital doctors were killed by an enemy drone, their car was targeted in kharkiv region , eternal memory and respect, well, here is only sympathy, well, about other news literally in a moment on the big air, good evening, we are from ukraine, you know when such news is announced. after they kissed, the medics died, there is a civilian car and you think, why are you saying this in such a cold way, somehow slurring the words, it just hurts, that's all, i think, to everyone, and we understand that if you say it loudly and descriptively, nothing will change, people die, unfortunately, defending our independence, eternal respect and honor to them, and loudly in zaporizhzhia, explosions rang out there, defenders shot down an enemy target in the sky above the zaporizhzhia district, the head of the region reported.
