er, such a format can be, i think that the same thing is being said in the supernatural forest, because most of the military equipment that was actually used in battles was then written off and the funds for it were not returned to the united states. i think that these are possible such grants approaches and for other countries of the european union, how will the european institute, the european instrument of peace, work and what will the funds be directed to ? then they gave just about the brussels level of support that gennady maksak was on our air at this time. thank you for the opportunity to talk . and you are in a good mood. the european union will allocate another 500 million euros for military aid to ukraine, eu high representative jose borel said, saying that the funds will go to heavy weapons, armored vehicles, tanks heavy artillery and ammunition , all that is necessary for such a war is a quote , together with this little bit, the total amount of

eu military support will be about two billion euros it has caused considerable damage to the ukrainian economy, but the world is ready to help us rebuild the country. how much help does ukraine need ? what sanctions affect the economy of the aggressor country? what can we expect from the oil embargo ? let's hear oleg ustenko, adviser to the president of ukraine on economic issues, joins our broadcast, oleg, evening, good evening, i would like to start our conversation from the forecast of the european bank for reconstruction and development earlier they predicted a 20% contraction of the ukrainian economy, now they say it will be 30% what you say, i will say this is what we ourselves predicted this year, growth at the level of 4% before

february 24th began. it was discussed that there will be an increase of three or four and a half percent. this changed after the beginning of the russian aggression. we can say for sure what the drop may be. during this year, no one can, regardless of which institution it is. is it the world bank? is it the international monetary fund ? is it the european bank for reconstruction and development or any expert institution? the main thing we don’t know about forecasting is when exactly peace will come to ukraine, and we can talk about the state of the economy from the point of view of and the fall, why is it important to know, or immediately after the fall occurs, but after the peace comes immediately, the trajectory of the movement of the ukrainian

economy begins to change, and the change begins quite sharply and begins quickly enough recovery and all the measures that are currently being taken and plans are being discussed regarding our post-war revival, they are precisely related to how it will happen, that is, to say that we fell, we fell in the first quarter by about 15% , in the second quarter the fall will be at least the same 15% , but it is also true that if this continues until the end of the second quarter, i mean the state of war in our country will continue and russia will continue its aggression against us, then we will have a decline, but again the question after six months, will we already have peace or will we continue the war and

our recovery depends on that? that is the question. right now, these forecasts are very theoretical. i understand you correctly. i would say not just very theoretical. in simple human language, it is written with pitchforks in the water, but as such the forecasts affect the support of which we are asking for the data of which we are asking from our partners at least to cover the deficit of the state budget of 4.5 billion monthly more than that the president of ukraine said about an amount from five to seven billion dollars that he could and that's why such a prime minister voiced so really uh, that's why when we talk to you about the decline of our economy, it's really what affects the figures of our state budget calculation and, accordingly

, that support which we will receive from our serious men, mr. so, just on the way to victory and as a sign of support for us, and in fact, the bleeding of the russian economy is the oil embargo, which is currently being discussed a lot in the european union, but we see that so far there is no agreement, in your opinion, why is it not possible to agree in the middle of the eu and what ways or under what circumstances could this decision be agreed? well, i would say the first and most important thing is that we have no doubts that, in principle, en-bargo on russian oil first and then we will impose a different logic on the entire energy sector of the russian federation, it simply cannot exist at all. that is, it is only a matter of time, you know that the position of president zelensky is clear and tough, and in this

direction, his position and the position of the entire government ukrainian ukraine of our citizens is that russia should be cut off from receiving any funds that they are currently receiving, which the president has called several times the so-called blood money that they receive, russia will not be able to receive them further, how will it be there are several types of oil. and what kind of oil are we talking about? you and i are talking about oil, it is more correct to say the same urals, but it is supplied to the world through different channels, if we are talking about oil, which is supplied through the sea by sea transport to large ships, as we understand it, this issue will be resolved in the near future and the embargo issue will be here, that is, russia will not be able to sell its oil on

the territory of the european union, this issue is almost resolved if russia will not be able to sell its oil on the territory of the european union, but will be able to sell its oil in other territories, another plan should come into effect here, which was carefully developed here in ukraine, was discussed with the international expert e-e expert community and was also discussed with politicians of various levels of language it is about establishing the so-called price cap in english, when you simply limit the level of the price that, in principle, russia can get for its too considering that the production costs in russia for one bar of oil

are approximately $10. then this is the maximum price that they can get for their oil in principle, the rest will not be paid to them if russia does not want to follow this plan, then it will simply have to stop oil production at most of its wells, which means that any funds even to cover expenses, they will not enter the country , and this means, in principle, that we will cut off the dispersion of one billion dollars of the funds that they receive now and in one day from the sale of their own oil, this applies in the second stage to the gas for which they by the way, they receive about $400 million. but the important point is that hungary, slovakia and bulgaria demand special conditions for themselves in the

matter of the oil embargo . of all sides so that everyone gets what they want in this situation. i think there are different options. as for hungary, i wouldn't really be there . well, i understand the political context of all this, but i also understand that when it comes to hungary, it 's about the very small consumption of oil - this is the first and second in relation to the economy of hungary. as i understand it, their oil refineries were built in such a way that they can only process oil of the ural brand, which is produced in the russian federation, and this does not mean that this problem is not decisive and can be resolved. as i understand it, the

question of 200 million euros for the simple restructuring of this enterprise may be talking about a certain period of time, and rather it is about a week or a few months in order for them to be able to do this is the re-equipment of our own enterprise of our own enterprises, the price of this question, i will repeat it again, is about 200 million euros, that is, it is not such a big price, it is already the last important clarification, this is about forecasts, i am here, ukrainian forecasts of the economy, there are two opposing opinions, the first one is that the shock caused by the war has already passed and the economy should stabilize, and the second is that the pre-war safety margin has been used up and a new collapse is ahead. how do you view the ukrainian economy ? unfortunately at a low

level. that is, we, of course, have shrunk, our economy has shrunk compared to pre-war levels, i still reminded you that in the previous year, we were at a historical maximum for e earned in our gross domestic product in the country was 200 billion dollars, a historical maximum never in the last years there, at the beginning of our independence, we did not have such a level, we decreased, it is quite clear, and it is also quite clear that in the conditions when we are with you in due to the conditions of the war, our business cannot work normally, part of the business is simply destroyed, part of the business is located in the territories that are temporarily occupied . can work at full capacity, as they

worked before, and here the minimums, what is surprising that we have decreased, our economy is er, is it er, it all depends on er, military actions, er, it all depends on our er, on our army, how much will they be effectively defend our land, but all the signals that you and i will receive, all as citizens of the country from the fronts, we see that they are roaming our land more than possible, and i think that uh, we are at a minimum right now, how quickly will the recovery of our economy be, or how quickly we i can also develop i believe that we have everything in order to develop as fast as anyone in the world has ever developed an unusual task - this is a task that consists in the fact that we have to stop the aggressor, push him away and get our complete victory, then our economy will be able to start with such a thing -e

sufficiently high levels of e growth and these changes , in principle, all life in the country . confidence in our bright future , i.e. everything will be fine and everything will be fine ukraine, there is no doubt here, it is definitely due thanks for your analysis and forecasts oleg ustenko, adviser to the president of ukraine on economic issues, was with us, we will intercept, we will win, what are you not news, together we strong defenders of mariupol, you are a symbol of indomitability, azov weddings, you are heroes, the whole of ukraine is with you, the city stands, the city does not give up, if you are as brave as you, thank you for the

opportunity to hug your children, take care of the cat or dog, i will raise her, endure our faith, our spirit is only you, i can play and not be afraid of the enemy, thank you, the whole of ukraine is praying for you!". for all this to happen, we created a platform where everyone who wants to can help those who need it, together we restore the country by helping each other so that everyone can be sure that there is always help

nearby . we invent which does not need to be boiled, we create highly maneuverable high-speed ones scales that can go anywhere, we make everything work very comfortably. i sleep somewhere in a trench . the bastion, more than once the occupier will break his teeth here, but he will never realize that it is within his power to

destroy the walls, but he will never break the spirit. regretting neither strength nor time nor resources yes, in ukraine now they don't say strong like sex, we say strong like azov, life will win, we will convince paraplay, we will win that you are not news , together we are strong, friends, we continue our information broadcasting, european integration processes, this is the key driver the topic is one of the key topics that is hotly discussed at various levels both in ukraine and outside our country, in particular in the eu before russia's membership in the executive committee of the world health organization how many ukrainians hospitals were destroyed and defaced by the russian army . this is how they will be restored. which countries

have declared their readiness to provide medical equipment to ukraine? our colleague vadym kolodyachuk discussed these and other issues with oleksiy yaremenko , deputy minister of health of ukraine for european integration. minister of health of ukraine for european integration oleksiy yaremenko mr. oleksiyu greetings good evening i would like to start with the statement of the head of the ministry of health care viktor lyashko, at a specialized session of the european regional committee of the world health organization, he called for the termination of russia's membership in the executive committee of the organization, what the ukrainian side is arguing for and how it potentially threatens russia, we have all seen for more than two months, and how russia someone international law, including the geneva convention on the protection of the civilian population in time of war, which clearly states that the

medical system must be inviolable medical workers must be protected and the population must be provided with medicines and the opportunity to provide medical assistance, in fact, at least 11 medical workers have already been killed at the workplace, 45 injured, more than 570 doctors have been destroyed or damaged, and this is what the russian aggressor brought to our land because we believe that the whole world should decide and stand on the side of truth and on the side of international legislation, and for this there are certain measures, such as the isolation of russia on various platforms, including within the framework of the global health care organizations therefore, we demand

to stop any consultations of the conference and the maximum number of connections with russia, as well as to transfer the office of the world health organization for the prevention and control of infectious diseases from moscow, and this will be a clear e-e message , a vital order for all other countries who want to disregard international law at a special session of the european regional committee, this is how it was the day before yesterday and in the resolution prepared by ukraine on the unusual start of the situation in the field of security health in ukraine has been supported by 43 countries and these are our friends who fully support ukraine , they understand what the isolation of russia is for and that we show with these measures in a week there will be

a general assembly of the world health organization where we will continue the measures which isolate russia from international platforms, what consequences can this entail for russian medicine and the consequences. and this is the impossibility of receiving advanced consultations on advanced technologies e-e or being at the forefront in providing medical quality medical care, and we see that russia deserves it. yes, they have some kind of basic medicine that they can be satisfied with before their behavior changes, and again, in this position, the vast majority of the countries of the european continent support us and we hope that soon

the appropriate decision will be made, you talked about the number of doctors killed, in russian , during the russian aggression, and also about the destroyed medical facilities, i will remind our troops that there are 101 hospitals and 450 pharmacies damaged, hmm, because you in terms of communication with our partners, at what stage is the reconstruction of these medical institutions now , that is, the creation of the project and the important moment of financing, are other countries ready to join in restoring these hospitals, there are several short-term and more medium and long-term plans for the restoration and reconstruction of the institutions of health care at the moment the government has already made a decision to allocate additional funds in the

de-occupied territory so that institutions that were badly damaged could be restored its work as soon as possible and this work has already begun, i.e. broken glass, damaged roof , entrance, certain er, destruction of the entrance group, it will all be done quite quickly and most of it with public funds. at the same time, we are working with international partners with many governments and international organizations in order to they financed and helped us in the development of the health care system, not just to rebuild the hospital that was destroyed, but to build it according to european e-e in accordance with european standards to the role of each institution in health care eh and eh these plans are already being discussed eh with local

administrations eh we have started such plans with the de-occupied regions already prepared draft plans are prepared for kyiv chernihiv sumy oblasts further we will work weekly with by each region in order to have a clear idea of ​​what resources are needed and where they should be invested, and we go with this data to the donors and show what we need for the next few years so that we clearly understand when what will happen rebuilt and immediately moved to a new level of providing medical care. that is, we can already say that in those settlements where there were healthy destroyed medical facilities, they will be rebuilt unequivocally and they will be even more modern, well, that is, on a par with the newest modern medical facilities that exist in the world, correct yes this is our plan. this is exactly how it will

be and the government. the president of ukraine created a recovery council, where there is a health care group, whose task in the next month and a half is to prepare a clear plan, and it's short. short-term, medium-term, long-term until 2030 , which will show what kind of investments are needed , where to put them. next, we will discuss this with donors, so that they will help us not just to restore, but to build a high-quality health care system, here is an important point, we... are they restored or built from scratch, if the buildings were completely destroyed, are they in the same places or will they consider more convenient options?

i heard that the reconstruction will be done with reasonable optimization, that is, to make it even more convenient for citizens, in this case, the same will happen with medical facilities. of course, the most optimal routes for patients will be insured. the largest number of destroyed facilities in our donetsk luhansk regions is where we will sit together after the deoccupation. with local communities, city- regional authorities and we will see where it is most appropriate to build which buildings and which medical services to provide so that the population has physical geographical access to these services if we say about the support of our partners, recently there is also information that various countries are ready to provide medical equipment to ukrainian hospitals, have negotiations already taken place and how exactly is this

happening now? we need it right now to provide medical aid in the framework of the war. and we have an emphasis, of course, on trauma and surgery. x-rays, patient monitors, vacuum systems, ultrasound diagnostics and other equipment that is needed right now in order to properly provide high-quality medical care to the wounded as a result of military operations, and the next stage will be a request for equipment within the framework of the reconstruction and development of a specific health care facility in our country there is an

estimate of what equipment we need for the country, these are quite significant numbers, but uh, in more detail for each uh, block of equipment will be able to talk to the numbers, we talked with you about the destruction of medical e institutions also reported 200 cars to the ministry of emergency medical services. 200 cars were shot or captured by the troops of the russian federation. did this somehow affect the speed and efficiency of providing assistance to ukrainians, or is there a lack of cars because of this, so that this situation does not affect the quality of medical care and work the emergency services had the last ambulances of the western regions, and they were given by the region where the damaged, destroyed cars were stolen. it was

such an immediate decision that allowed us to provide emergency medical aid by vehicles, in addition, we requested humanitarian aid from ambulances, including armored ones, and during this period we have already received a fairly significant number of vehicles e-e and we are immediately distributing them according to priorities. these cars are the most necessary because of some critical situation in this. we managed to prevent it. call him by country well, and finally, oleksiy , if we are talking about the amount of humanitarian aid for ukraine, then what exactly did we receive, and you said there is a lack of cars? what other issues

would we like to be helped to close within the framework of the ministry of health? we collect needs from each health care institution daily through the electronic system, aggregate these needs and send them to international organizations or the government of other countries, and in 70 days we received them only within the framework of the ministry of health, again a-a humanitarian aid in the amount of more than uah 6 billion, of course humanitarian aid is used especially er, it is er hemostatic analgesics and other drugs and those that are needed specifically in surgery er, that is why we make additional requests so that humanitarian aid continues to flow, because

receiving of these additional medicines allows us to save a little internal resources and direct them to recovery and other areas of activity. of health of ukraine on issues of european integration was with us and before the events on the cultural front in berlin, the exhibition "the captured house" was finished. this is an art chronicle of the war in ukraine. the exhibition included the works of more than fifty modern ukrainian artists. the main exhibits are paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures and installations by artists . documented the humanitarian disaster in ukraine caused by russia's attack, the audience was drawn to an intercultural dialogue about europe as our common home, the project will be presented in paris, rome, and amsterdam, the name is catchy house link
