well, according to the ministry of finance , pensioners were entitled to these funds, before that they froze the subsistence minimum for several years and it was uah 2,093 and they did not raise it, so having money for the increase, this money did not go to pensioners, it went to the state budget of ukraine, and then they they say that these are all western allies and so on. if they had sent these 29 billion to increase the minimum pension, and... this is exactly the subsistence minimum, then today it would not be 2361 hryvnias, but much more. but the practice, the practice followed today is green the authorities that these funds, which are today in the employment fund, which are today in the pension fund, they stupidly withdraw and direct to other needs, and then say that it is the western allies who are to blame for the fact that we have such low social standards, that is i want people to hear me, i thank you very much, people... they are already writing

comments, thank you very much, andriy reva, minister of social policy of ukraine in 2016-2019, well, indeed, halyna borysyuk writes, social assistance 2360, well this not social assistance, it is a living wage, subsidies count for a minimum of 6700 logic where, and well, in any case, we started a discussion, we will talk about it and always discuss these moments, which definitely directly affects the lives of people and directly affects the lives of each of us, what happened in... in the world of news literally in a moment. there is a war going on, and not only for territories, it is also a war for minds. we are engaged in propaganda. russia is throwing millions of petrodollars into turning ukrainians into little russians. ukraine will become russia. let's counter the information attacks of the russians in the chronicles of information war project with olga ley. tuesday

thursday at 17:15, repeat tuesday, friday at 22:00. verdict with serhiy rudenko, from now on in a new, two-hour format, even more analytics, even more important topics, even more top guests: foreign experts, inclusion from abroad, about ukraine, the world, the front, society, and also feedback , you can express your opinion on the evil of the day with the help of a telephone survey, turn on and... and turn on the verdict with serhiy rudenko from tuesday to friday from 20 to 22. good evening, we are from ukraine. so unfortunately we start again with sad news, a tragedy, enemy shelling killed. four people died in turetsk on tazarichnoy in donetsk region. due to enemy attacks

, the prosecutor's office of the region reported. the russians shelled toretska with artillery, an elderly woman was fatally injured in the yard. and in the village , a year-round ammunition hit one of the streets, killing three pensioners, a man and a married couple. i'll just add that there will be a forced evacuation of the civilian population in pokrovsk starting tomorrow, the enemy is creeping up to pokrovsk for a few weeks, that's what the military says. maybe be late, the fighting will be too fierce, they are already too fierce, just not within the city itself. the occupiers fired from a kozacholopan tank in the kharkiv region, a 50-year-old woman was injured, reported the head of the local military administration, vyacheslav zadorenko. in the village, as a result of the strike, a human settlement was gutted, and in the morning , a resident of novoosynovo in the kupien district was injured due to russian attacks. according to the regional prosecutor's office, the enemy covered the settlement with artillery, which was damaged.

private houses and residential infrastructure, by the way, if we talk about kharkiv region, there is another problem there that can have very negative consequences for health, first of all for people, the enemy is absolutely not engaged in evacuating the bodies of those destroyed by the armed forces of ukraine, the defense forces of the occupiers, but for them, they are like brothers, and they just leave these bodies on the battlefield, where there is, and this can lead to negative consequences again, they already write about it and talk about it... that is why in kharkiv oblast, again anyway, it is hot now, there is also such a problem, it was at one time in bakhmut, the enemies left they killed it. the occupiers injured a resident of berislav in the kherson region, he came under enemy artillery fire two days ago, the regional military administration reported, today the man went to the doctors, he has an explosive injury and a contusion. and in the city of bilopylla in sumy oblast, the demolition of rubble at the site of an enemy airstrike was completed. told

the state emergency service. the day before, rescuers managed to unblock the dead man's body. let me remind you that yesterday afternoon the russians attacked the city with an aerial bomb, targeting a private house. the owner of the house died, unfortunately, and his 11-year-old daughter and two other people were injured. denmark will provide ukraine with another 20th aid package worth almost 116 million dollars. the government of the kingdom informed. the main funds will be directed to the purchase of military equipment through the ukrainian defense industry and international partners. danish government officials have drawn up a new defense package taking into account wishes and needs. ukraine can only thank its friendly and fraternal country, the kingdom of denmark. air defense system iristi reconnaissance drones vector and not only germany announced a new package of military aid to ukraine.

the government of the federal republic of germany reported. this batch will also include 10 unmanned surface ships, six highly mobile mining excavators. rifle with cartridges and more than 50,000 first-aid kits, in total, official berlin has currently provided or has undertaken to provide the ukrainian army with aid worth almost 28 billion euros. exchange for language, this is the name for. them in support of the ukrainian language, which they organized in different cities not only of ukraine, but also of the world. every year, the all-ukrainian movement is united, holds such an event before the independence day of ukraine, how many people joined in kyiv and lviv, we will find out. 3, 2, 1, successful lunch. more than 300

people in the capital and 500 around the world united for a common goal. all of them took part in a charity run in support of ukrainians in the temporarily occupied territories. each participant of the race had the opportunity to choose his own distance, i.e. 1, 5 and 10 km. we gathered today and dedicate this race to those people in occupations who cannot speak ukrainian, and for them it is a privilege to speak ukrainian because they are under the threat of death. instead, it is a duty for us. to speak ukrainian, and we want to remind ukrainians that speaking ukrainian is important, and this event is dedicated to that. the language issue, it is currently acute, for me, for example, my grandmother, this adult generation, despite the fact that she lives in

a russian-speaking region, well, like, she communicates exclusively in ukrainian, i.e. for me, my heart actually breaks when, well , somehow i heard that, a charitable initiative was also adopted in lviv, the team of fm halychyna radio station volunteered to organize an event in the city of leva, they traditionally support not only cultural, but also sports events. we were happy to participate in this run, because it tells us that we should really appreciate the fact that we can speak ukrainian freely, to call on others, who are ukrainians, who did not do it in the occupied territories, now people are succumbing to danger when speaking ukrainian at times, so we want to show and encourage people to understand how important it is when you can be free and speak your own language.

fifty people participated in the race in lviv, not only adults, but also children, the distance for children is shorter, 100 and 500 m. i came here with my father and mother. i am my brother, my mother runs 1 km, my brother and i run 100 m, my father does not run, we run for the language, our native language, so that our country has a future for the ukrainian language. i really liked sonya to participate in this race, only today i ran and my mother came to support me. the youngest participant, davyd, is only four years old, he became the winner in his distance. will you do run? and who did you come with today? with dad how many meters will you be today? 500. together with its partners , the run style organization, the radio station identified the leaders of the race among adults and children, and

also awarded them with diplomas. the initiative also has a charitable purpose. the funds received from the registration packages will be partially transferred to people who... want to study the ukrainian language in the de-occupied territories and territories that are near the front, that is, people who are sometimes afraid to speak ukrainian, we urge them to listen to ukrainian and... to use the ukrainian language themselves in their everyday life, because language is important. you can also become a participant of the race online until august 24 in any city of the world with prior registration. ema stadnyk, tetyana golonova, roman kovalyuk, dmytro nikiforov, espresso tv channel. well, we are coming back and now it's time to talk about the events that happened outside our country, but there there is actually a lot to talk about. yuriy fizar. with me yuri, good evening, please, good evening to you vasyl, good evening to everyone who joined us at this time, the world about

ukraine column breaks into the information week of the espresso tv channel, and today, lukashenko, about the so-called denazification of ukraine , well, this is another revelation of hryhorovych, hungary will issue visas to russians, and today, in the end, just like yesterday, russia was on fire, about this and other things in a moment. well, let's start with this: the prime minister of india is going to rendramod ukraine, this has already been officially confirmed by the ministry of foreign affairs of india. according to the published report, the head of the indian government will come to kyiv on august 23. in the foreign policy department of the country. it was also reported that before this narendra modina. days will come to poland, he will come to poland, after all, like any prime minister of india, he will come for the first time in 40

years. i will also remind you that last week there was information that the prime minister of india plans to be in ukraine for only half a day on august 23. well, after all, half a day it's good for us, because it's been 2.5 years of russia's aggressive war in ukraine. full-scale war, only now the prime minister of india has decided to come to ukraine, we need his support very much, after all, we don't just need words about how he thinks about peace in ukraine, we also need him to do something for this peace , instead of going to moscow and shaking hands with putin for his brother's sake, but for him to put pressure on putin and say that he should get out of ukraine as soon as possible, and by the way, it is worth noting that mr. modi will meet in ukraine and... with our president volodymyr zelenskyi, there is also information that the indian community of india very much wants

to organize a visit of mr. modi to the verkhovna rada, but at the moment there is no information about this, it would also be very, very important for us, that he, from the high platform of the highest legislative body of ukraine, addressed both the ukrainian lawmakers and all the citizens of ukraine, and precisely said this support. which we need so much. yes, but now we are returning from india, after all, not from india, but from the visit of the prime minister of india to of ukraine. let's move on to another topic. belarus helps russia as its ally and is not afraid of reprimands from the west and ukraine. this was announced by the self-proclaimed president of belarus oleksandr lukashenko. in an interview with yevgeny popov, this is for you to remind yourself, this is the one that the man with... well, he said this for a russian propaganda tv channel. here is his short quote: "

ukrainians in the west reproach us: 'yes, you help russia, but why shouldn't we help?'" he said. according to him, russian journalists had already seen ammunition and missiles that the belarusian government supplies to russia, and lukashenko says that there is no need to hide anything here. the war is going on, and their ally, that is, belarus, is fighting, so... why be afraid of official minsk, but still a very interesting statement in the style of lukashenko, let's hear the self-proclaimed one in direct speech. you sometimes talk about nazis, there are no longer those nazis, ukraine is de-nazified, but there are a few crazy nazis who still remain there, but they are no longer in trend. well , such a revelation, he is as usual, and i will show you, and i will tell you, i know, already the so-called

there is no denazification in ukraine, yes, denazification took place in ukraine, again in quotation marks, did it not take place, and many other things from the interview of the self-proclaimed yevgeny popov, which was broadcast over the weekend on the air of the propaganda channel, so i will talk about it with pavel adviser, analyst of the foreign council of the foreign council. politicians ukrainian prism, mr. pavlo, i congratulate you and glory to ukraine, mr. pavlo, can you hear me? yes, i hear. i congratulate you. glory to ukraine. well, tell me, please, have you heard this direct speech of oleksandr lukashenko about bucym, bucym, about that denazification in ukraine has already been completed. well, after all, you probably read, i'm not sure, you read, or even watched this interview of the self-proclaimed. what can you even say about all this? well, first of all,

i can say that this interview was targeted in the first place. to the russian audience, and the fact that lukashenko, together with his political technologists, arranged for a quick interview on the television channel russia-1, shows that the belarusian self-proclaimed president is trying, so to speak, to reduce the wave of criticism and negativity, which poured out on him after the armed forces of ukraine began operations in the kursk region, let me remind you that then from... almost immediately after the entry of ukrainian troops into the kursk region, a number of russian media began to accuse lukashenko of what he said on purpose, in in mid-july, he withdrew his own troops from the border with ukraine, thereby allowing ukraine to carry out offensive actions on the territory of the russian federation. ugh. look, mr. pavlo, but tell me,

please, lately lukashenko very often in his statements calls on the leaders of ukraine and... russia to sit down at the negotiating table, as he said the other day in the same interview, to end this fight, as he called it, tell us in your opinion why he became so active in this very issue of conducting negotiations. he even said that belarus is ready to become a platform for such negotiations. well, in general, such rhetoric is not new for him, and he continues it consistently, starting from 2022. with a certain intensity, with a certain regularity, and this time against the background of possible rumors, conversations and statements regarding possible negotiations between russia and ukraine, lukashenko has become more active again, and on the one hand, he is doing it in order to some extent to play along with the russian narratives, which until recently could be observed that russia seeks peace, that russia is ready

to negotiate, and they say, as if this is bad ukraine is not ready to demonstrate. on the other hand, lukashenko feels that a certain period of change is slowly approaching, and he is preparing a certain field of action for himself in order to try to somehow wedge himself into this negotiation process, it is possible, and already to form a framework for mutual cooperation with ukraine. in other words, can we say that he is already getting pretty good at the sanctions, and he is already starting to spin like an ear in a frying pan. i think he is not so much concerned with sanctions as with intelligence. the fact that in the event of the cessation of active hostilities, lukashenko will actually remain one on one with russia, and even before that he had already begun to demonstrate and send certain signals to western capitals, in particular the release of political prisoners, a decree on amnesty was recently published 30 political prisoners, on adding to the 18 released in mid-july,

so to some extent he's trying to, let 's say, demonstrate for... asking for certain political bargains with western powers, again, that doesn't mean anything 's going to happen, but he's trying to spin and somehow in those narrow conditions, he found himself, somewhat increase the opportunity for foreign policy. well, look at how at least putin can react to all this, because putin, i'm sure he probably said, expects some kind of more active support from lukashenka, and not only. this constant chatter like how does lukashenko manage to maintain these relations with putin at the level they are at now? and i think that, let's put it this way, moscow can send certain signals to minsk, in particular in the middle of july, in the second half, there were incidents when russian drones of the shakhet type flew over the territory of belarus, at the same time

following very non-standard trajectories, several times russian drones flew in from the territory of ukraine and were approaching large belarusian cities, in particular minsk, then this can be regarded as a certain kind of political signal to lukashenko, who at that moment was carrying out certain unusual actions in the field of foreign policy, and even the fact that lukashenko is now very demonstratively speaking in front of popov, the fact that he is very demonstratively announcing the transfer of troops to the border with ukraine, the fact that belarus. .. after three days of silence since the start of the kurdish operation, she began to react in some way, demonstrates that lukashenko , on the one hand, wants to deflect the negativity that has rained down on him, on the other hand, he is trying to... demonstrate an imitation of fulfilling his alliance obligations, therefore that belarus is an ally of the russian federation, both in the csto and in the so-called allied state. well, but

it seems that he imitates very successfully, because , well, putin, putin, at least, i don't know if he convinces, well, but he performs the task that he should perform. well, and the last question for you, please tell me, this is the one that has been announced and recently also very often talks about the fact that i am not eternal, i will not be around for long, you need to prepare. a new generation in order for it to come to power, and we need you, he addresses the belarusians, he says, why is he now, well that is, he is not going to leave, or is he already going? i do not think that he is going to, it seems to me that lukashenko will try to rule as long as his health or external circumstances allow him, but the fact that he is basically preparing a certain security cushion in case of departure, it is true, it is so. .. changes to the constitution, these are attempts to push through certain bills regarding guarantees for the former president, and also lukashenko

is now trying to carry out a certain renewal of the nomenclature to infuse new blood, because with on the one hand, he understands that older officials are not capable of generating creative ideas even in the conditions in which he found himself. more creativity and more ability to make non-standard solutions, on the other hand, he also understands that in the end he will probably have to resign from his post, he is not eternal, it is impossible that he will last forever, so lukashenko, at least mentally, seems to me, is preparing for this , but i think he will delay this moment as much as his health will allow him in the first place, well, never mind he is only mentally preparing, let him prepare, thank you very much, mr. pavlo, for participating in... it was pavlo rat, an analyst of the ukrainian prism foreign policy council, and we are moving on. prime minister of great britain keir starmer asked the national security council

of the country to think, to think over plans to provide wider support to ukraine. this was reported by the times with reference to sources in the british government. at the same time, an unnamed military source told the newspaper that starmer's policy of supporting ukraine will have a comprehensive nature, that is, it is not only about... military support, but also about industrial, economic and democratic diplomatic support, moreover, in order to build a unified policy of great britain in the ukrainian direction, a special group was even created with the participation of the ministry of defense and foreign affairs. the inclusion of citizens of belarus and russia in the hungarian national card program does not pose a threat to the security of the countries that are part of... the schengen zone. the minister of foreign affairs of hungary wrote about this on his facebook page peter sijarto. according to him, in order to obtain the right to enter the territory of hungary, such people, as before, will need to undergo

a comprehensive check. next - a quote from the head of the hungarian foreign and political department. all claims to the contrary made by northern european and baltic colleagues, blinded by pro-war sentiment, are pure lies. well, i will also remind you that... at the end of july, hungary enrolled citizens of russia and belarus in the national card program, which is issued to all those who want to work in hungary for two years with the possibility of extension, and in europe they say that it is very dangerous, because in this way it allows russian spies and russian agents to penetrate into europe, so to speak. in the rostov region, after an attack by drones friendly to ukraine, an oil depot has been burning for the second day. firefighters can't

put out the fire in the proletarian district, in the proletarian rostov region, this oil depot caught fire, as i said, after a drone strike, a state of emergency was introduced in the place, it was reported local administration, the administration also reported more than 40 casualties. successful, and they reported this with reference to the data of the central district hospital. currently, it is known that 11 fuel tanks are burning, well there are more than 11, i think that if 11 are burning in two days, and the explosion there today was of unprecedented force, then i really hope and think that even more will burn, so mountains - mountains are clear. well, that's all i have in the world about ukraine section, everything only for today, tomorrow. there will be more and more in our future ether, so don't switch. i congratulate you. this is

svoboda live on radio svoboda. we have already come to the snake itself. the following shots may shock you. news from the scene. live kamikaze drone attacks. political analytics. objectively and meaningfully. there is no political season. exclusive interviews, reports from the hottest points of the front. freedom life - frankly and impartially. you draw your own conclusions. every week, maria gurska meets with the head of the committee on foreign affairs of the polish sejm, a representative of the government of poland from restoration of ukraine by pavel koval. as always, we talk about the most important things that happened this week in poland, ukraine, and europe. what is being said about ukraine in the eu, how should we perceive the statements of european politicians and what will our accession to the eu look like. in the project "close to politics, close to the world with maria

gurska". every sunday at 3:30 p.m. good evening, we are from ukraine, so we will continue, yuriy fizar just finished with the news about the undermining of the economic energy power of russia, about how huge reservoirs are burning there, and oleksandr will talk about the economy morchenko, money during the war, oleksandr, good evening, please, good evening, vasyl, i greet the audience, we will talk about how ukraine can preserve its energy... potential and prepare for the heating season, as well as about food products and exchange rates, i will i will talk in detail in a moment , wait, this is a column about money during the war, i am oleksandr morshevka, i will be with you in the next few minutes, and here we begin with important financial information, there are fresh forecasts, in particular from the analysts of the icu company, so they

expect... growth of the dollar against the hryvnia next year, the forecast is 47.70. currently, the foreign exchange market is experiencing a certain increase in the currency deficit, experts say. measures to reduce this deficit from the national bank do not always work, but they say that fundamentally, the nbu is moving in the right direction, gradually weakening the hryvnia. at the end of the current year , they will ask, as expected, no more than uah 42 60 kopecks for an american. well, we can see that the gradual devaluation of the hryvnia and the appreciation of the dollar are indeed the forecasts from many analytical groups, and let's say that here we just need to monitor how much international aid is coming to ukraine, how much success is being achieved by the armed forces of ukraine, because these are essentially just forecasts, and a lot of such important factors will still affect the exchange rate. the occupiers

loaded another ship with stolen grain in mariupol. the russians sent almost 8,000 tons of our grain for sale, the center for transport strategies reported. all through the port of mariupol since the beginning of this year the invaders took out more than 165 thousand tons of goods. first of all, grain crops and equipment of metallurgical plants are taken away. blackouts return. so manufacturers will use generators, which significantly increases the costs of entrepreneurs. such energy costs up to uah 30 per kilowatt. this was announced by the deputy chairman of the all-ukrainian agrarian council, denys marchuk. this directly affects the price increase of products. also added are the factors of war, inflation, lack of sufficient labor force and increase in excise duties on fuel. expert stresses that this year's harvest is expected

to be much smaller due to unfavorable conditions. soybeans and sunflowers in particular have been adversely affected by weather conditions, early spring freezes and ongoing drought, and will reduce supplies of a number of crops for export. kharkiv extended benefits for its entrepreneurs until the end of the year. this was announced by the mayor of the city igor terekhov. the business is exempt from paying taxes on real estate, land and the single tax for fops of the fourth group. so, kharkiv is probably the only city in ukraine that went to... such a one a bold step for the sake of supporting the entrepreneurial industry, - noted terekhov. we are talking about a shortfall in the local treasury of uah 1 billion, but supporting small and medium-sized businesses is important for this city. well, as i said, the blackouts are back, and how ukrainians are preparing for the next one.
