next week, mykhailo menepran is already there, congratulations to him, mr. mykhailo, congratulations on the past independence day, which passed yesterday, and the day independence never passes, because i said, the renaissance of a nation is a daily plebiscite, unfortunately, as it turned out, independence is not granted from above, not by decree, not by order, unfortunately, historical laws cannot be passed, and how sad it is, but we now have full confirmation that independence is won only by blood, only by war. and only with the struggle, we had so much fun purely in our ukrainian style that we, as the younger generation says now , will manage to be looped, and somehow we will pass so quietly without blood, without war, and everything is ours it will be fine, we will be independent, there is a new disease in the family, but the strict laws of history, this i tell you as a graduate

of the faculty of history, unfortunately it turns out to be impossible to bypass, and in reality, independence is not only a holiday, you are absolutely right , we lived in the soviet socialist ukrainian republic until the 22nd year, where the head of the party of ukraine was the president’s administration, where the president essentially had the functions of the first secretary of the central committee of the communist party, since the president’s administration determined everything and, as it were, what did not answer was the parliament, well, at different periods it was more independent, less independent. but in any case, every president tried to manage it, tried to take it under control, and there was a cabinet of ministers, in most cases, which was also under the president and focused on the president, and when it was not under the president, do you remember how it was the story with yulia tymoshenko and viktor yushchenko, it did not lead to anything good, it led to ruin - this

is said too loudly, but let's say confrontation, when instead of developing... the ukrainian state, the president and the prime minister were engaged in clarifying the relationship between themselves, who made what decision, how to nullify this decision, how to block this decision, and the lost 5 years were simply, unfortunately , so this is hard everyday work that we still have to do for a long, long time in order to become really independent and really take the place that we would like in a free new family, mr. mykhailo, today we have... a very reduced one sunday column, i noticed that this is discrimination in mine address, each time less and less. andrei, something needs to be done, you and i need to do a separate program, otherwise we are just starting to talk about something interesting, they say that the time is up, this is unfair, well, it is not over yet, but today there is a little less of him to talk about, and i , you know, i wanted these minutes,

that we have seven or less, even to talk about taxes again with benefit. about the fact that their promotion is being prepared, we are all aware, the position of the business that works in white, it is very simple now, that as many as 50% are in the shadows, those 50% who work white-collar, they will have to pay even more taxes with the increase in taxes, that's all, paying both for themselves and for those who do not pay taxes or evade them, it will create even more unequal conditions, a business that evades or has connections with... the authorities or pays bribes, and one that tries to work in a white manner, in particular the ukrainian manufacturer, primarily not resale, which is engaged, the manufacturer, not pumping resources, the manufacturer is, well, for example, ihor humennyi, the owner of ubc group, which is a ukrainian manufacturer, yes, who says what he says about this, first, deal with the shadow, with 50% shadow, that is a lot, zimbabwe has 60%, and this is the worst indicator in in the world,

it seems, well, there are worse indicators, but we want to say all the time that africa is where everyone is like that, made of steel, where people walk in bandages, and we are so civilized, although africa is actually different countries, it is very different, and before the war we tried to promote ukrainian manufacturers, but different countries, different levels, but there are those who have gone far ahead, and paradoxically, but somewhere the same now, you know, who competes the most in africa, who is china and turkey, yes, well... obviously, i know, just going back to my question, conditionally speaking, we understand that those taxes are also part of the country's mobilization, economic mobilization, just as we do not have good justice with our mobilization for the army, so we do not have good justice here with business, is there a chance to build this fair

business mobilization, what can be done for this is simple now, in your opinion, we have, well, first of all , to occupy an active life. not to be silent, but to conduct a dialogue, to criticize, but while criticizing to propose, to say simply that it is bad, you know, i like to quote volodymyr groytsman, when he was the prime minister, he said this at a meeting with businessmen: don't tell me how bad, i know better than you, how bad, tell me what needs to be done to make it better, so the first thing we proposed was to abolish the sales tax, just for the manufacturers you mentioned, it would be death and similar, therefore that... the more technological operations, the more the tax would increase. and as a result, it would not be 1%, but 5.7%. in principle, the minister of finance heitmantsev said that they refused it. ah-ah the second point, which, in principle, we actively advocated, after all , the 5% military levy on employees, well , it is too much, there is a threat that an even greater number of autumns may go. now 40% are such about

whether fops or individual entrepreneurs work or not, if there will be 5%, probably the most likely to increase the number, so we offered to raise it to 2.5 to 3%. and by and large, such a dialogue is ongoing. there was an attempt to raise the excise tax, to raise advance payments, and although you know, recently, somehow, the authorities are less actively promoting this idea, apparently something has changed, or money has been found in foreign markets somewhere, or they simply understand that since such a simple revolutionary leapfrogging, as it would traditionally be desirable, does not work, because every ukrainian government wants... simple solutions and wants to solve all problems with one solution, but unfortunately this does not happen, that is why i once again call on my colleagues to be active, and to take an active

position in the media, work with deputies, work with those who are in your constituencies and still convey that this is how we understand that money for the war is needed, but you andrii are absolutely right, and we are talking about it, let's first reduce the black market by at least 20-30 percent, and... then we will tax the white market, so the recipe here is clear and the recipes we offer, in principle, you you know, they agree with us more, they also understand it, what about taxing only white business now, well , everyone is thinking about tomorrow, everyone is thinking about the elections, the war will end sooner or later, there will be elections and what to do then, and then all this that we are talking about with you is then it will be pulled out and it will be said that look, we paid, and you did not fight with them, why you? did not fight and what do you propose then, so now is just such a moment and here is the story of bep, who actively began to fight with the same underground market or black market

of tobacco, a vivid example when they simply gave the command that it is necessary to cover the bench, we want money, but we need money in the budget, we need to cover it, because otherwise people simply won't understand it, people don't support and won't pay, so an active position and an active position once again and an active position again, which... . will enable us to defend our interests, everything starts with this conversation, with getting to know the society, with what is happening with the problems, i think that today we have also done our share of work in this process, mr. mykhailo, thank you very much for the new ones, so see you soon, i hope that after sunday we can talk more and we will have more time for it. have a nice day, have a nice day. mykhailo nepran, first vice-president of the chamber of commerce and industry of ukraine. the sunday column sunday nepran was with you, dear friends, we are going for a short break now, then we will come back and talk about religion, as we promised you,

maria gurska u. the ukrainian journalist of the tv channel and the portal sisters and pavel koval, the head of the council on cooperation with ukraine and the commission on foreign affairs of the polish sejm. congratulations! i congratulate you! let's start with the independence day of ukraine, which is the main news of this week. august 24 marked the 33rd day of independence in the history of modern ukraine and the third during the war years. what does this event mean to you? does this mean betrayal for you?

of ukraine, and for me, it is the basis of the ukrainian tradition, the tradition of the maidan, the student protest, which consists in protesting without the use of violence. it failed then, although that is debatable. then masol was dismissed. the soviet system tried to appease in this way protestors, to give them redemption, so that they feel that they did not stand without meaning, and they did not stand without meaning, because they prepared in a certain way.

the second level is the revolution, the enormous efforts of de facto the next three generations, who are teaching each other how to fight for independence and there is not much left, because this is not the end. then the russian invasion and war begins. it all seems to me to be a single process, a process in which the ukrainian nation chooses freedom, like all nations in the west, according to the strict logic of time. the unbearable logic of time. no french or english freedom without a revolution, there is no central europe without the spring of peoples, and there is no ukraine without this spilled blood, this is something both terrible and at the same time demonstrates that some processes in history cannot be missed. the blood must eventually stop, the question is what...
