at gas stations for fuel coupons in kremenchug, there is already uh, despite the fact that there is a famous oil refinery, there is no fuel there either, because the russians bombed this plant. so , let's look at the fuel situation in the city in the story of my colleagues, the editor of the kremenchug newspaper, oleg bulashev, says that he currently keeps his own car in the garage waiting in line to fill up enough yes, fuel prices are too high, it is cheaper to walk and monitor using a special mobile application that appeared during the fuel shortage, there is also in telegram and viber and there they just write where and how gasoline was brought in. where is the fuel? where is the gasoline? people are looking and thus can drive and refuel. thanks to this application, yesterday we refueled residents

of kharkiv who decided to return to their hometown and needed to find fuel somewhere. drove around the gas stations at the gas stations, there was no one, then he turned and said how can i leave thanks to this application, we saw where there is fuel, he went there , he actually waited for an hour and a half, there were 70 somehow in line, but thank god he will fill up udovost, by using the application, we will find out at which gas station they are currently refueling, we walk there and therefore there is a huge queue, the drivers say that they stand for several hours and at any price, and after the queue, it means there is gasoline or diesel, but in my store, diesel, i try to keep myself in the tank, mostly i go to work on personal matters, it’s almost not my ego, it’s mostly only good because of the shortage of fuel in the city’s retail network, the increase in demand for electric motorcycles, electric bicycles, mopeds and scooters, everyone is inclined to buy they are

looking for an electrician . at a minimal price, that is, she has traveled a lot, plus the mail, uh, mostly only new uh , they send and with deliveries, these are also very big problems. the head of the kremenchug district military administration, oleg lenik, restrictions on the sale of fuel were introduced only at one network of gas stations, all others can freely sell fuel in case of availability, the limits of fuel for territorial communities, which they can use for refueling communal transport, are gradually increasing, the logistics directions of fuel supplies in the country are gradually starting to work have already been reached before broadcasting regarding the supply of fuel coats from abroad, that is the result of this logistical activity and managerial activity uninterrupted operation of motor vehicles, both communal

in all cities and towns of our district, and between, let's say, inter-district communication is fully operational due to the increase in fuel prices, since monday, the cost of travel in suburban transport in kremenchuk has increased by 30%, with regard to urban transport, the transportation tariff may increase already from the first of june well, here we will talk about fuel, but not only about fuel, as usual , in the middle at once with two economic experts , today with us yevhen dubagreis from the analytical of the ukraine case center and mykhailo demkiv from the icu investment group, congratulations, friends. good day. good day. so, i suggest leaving the fuel sweet, let's say so, because everyone is interested in this topic, but let's talk about a possible more important topic about the words of the minister of finance serhiy serhiy marchenko. here

he gave an interview to the edition of icons where he said that if the war continues for another 3-4 months, painful measures may be necessary, in particular, the essence of raising taxes, he says that it may also lead to nationalization. currently, the ministry of finance is predicting a 44% drop in ukraine's gdp this year, but even this estimate is very uncertain as long as the war continues, that is, it can be more. in addition, the ukrainian budget in wartime needs more than 5 billion dollars every month, and the financing of this amount can be found through the printing of money, uh, something very sad, everything looks possible with mr. mykhailo. let's start, how do you comment on it? well, in principle, i connect it with the military situation in the country a few weeks ago , er, the rhetoric of officials began to change, including the minister of defense issued a communication in

which er, in principle, he told ukrainians enough frankly, he does not expect that the war will end in the near future, but will continue for quite a long time, unfortunately. no, he does not, i do not know how long it will last, but it is definitely not a month, two or even three , respectively, and to the economic bloc of the country's leadership. it is necessary to react to this somehow. in particular, i perceive mr. marchenko's words as a signal that it is necessary to raise those taxes that were reduced after february 24. first of all, this obviously concerns imports, since a large part of imports is now in ukraine, where is it? almost tax free according to er always this was this source was one of the key in filling the state budget for several months of er martial law to close because

of er a friend of money due to the help of international partners maybe they will also have questions why why ukraine er not e-e actually does not collect such taxes, it is not collected necessary amounts of taxes are not taxed e-e those imports that are not vital for e-e for the activity of the country e-e 5 billion dollars every month about which ones did you mention this in in principle funds that ukraine needs, but which ones so far, they do not come in the necessary scale from our partners, so we will have to raise taxes, it is impossible. in the same interview, stepan serhiy said that the budget deficit for the year is 15 billion dollars . as of now, we received only four

and a half billion from international donors, that is , we still have a deficit, mr. evgeny, is it possible that such a speech by mr. marchenko, i will try to convey to our international partners that we need more money, that is why he sounds so pessimistic. maybe he is exaggerating a bit too much. is the situation really serious? i think he is very realistic about the situation now. and it is very good that we have a professional finance minister who is not afraid to say unpleasant things to the outside, because everyone still wants to see the victory itself, of course, but mr. marchenko says about the realities and the second i absolutely agree with the fact that this is a very important context of the audience. they will give us help and how much and that's why he just

says that look, if we don't get my money and if they don't give us credit and help, then we will turn from the morning economy and now the morning economy into an unknown one, because ukraine is financially absorbing resources for a long time to wage the war we don't need the necessary funds for the event. well, actually, i would like to remind you that the ministry of finance has always been more pessimistic , the minister of finance is often called mr. no , mr. no, because he constantly refuses financing even in times of peace, er, in the expenses of all those who come to him for money, that's why i wasn't surprised when i heard that, well, such a bit unpleasant

forecasts . however, the ministry of economy expects and has decided to let go of abandoning the regulation of fuel prices, which economists have talked about a lot, that regulation is possible and creates the deficit, which is partially not only russian missiles, and the government still expects anyway, the maximum prices for diesel fuel will not be higher than uah 58, and for gasoline, the highest for uah 52 , well, that is, on the one hand, they say that liberalization is going on, on the other hand, they are already calling some limits again, and this is where the question is possible, mr. yevgeny , let's take it from you and let's start, hmm, how can it be that the regulation was canceled, but still there are some limit prices, that is, whether it was canceled or not. in our country, it is very fashionable to criticize the government, it is always our national sport, but this is the situation here, and the government really

got into an absolutely unprecedented situation when the resource that is constantly needed, which and it is used every day and by everyone, it is now simply limited and we have to either introduce price regulation or introduce volume regulation or combine it with price regulation, as we can see, it just didn’t work out for gasoline even now. i understand that the government is going to limit consumption volumes in a certain way, somehow regulate it because of the goods we we cannot physically introduce enough petroleum products to supply enough gasoline for everyone, and therefore, of course, here and there, you can laugh at the government and say what kind of things it is at such market prices, if we all it's the same as marginal prices, but at this stage i would see if they

can really satisfy this demand and at least critical industries with restrictions, because if we let prices go, what will happen will be huge inflation, because fuel will simply increase the price of everything along the chain, and this is the problem with the government is trying to fight, i.e. to prevent inflation, while at the same time making this resource available to those who critically need it, i.e., the government is trying to push the limit prices a bit in order to, let's say, affect demand, i.e. those people who don't really need that fuel anymore, or who was planning to go somewhere on a long trip, and now it will be expensive for him and he will change to a train, for example, or a bus, and here, er, this part of the demand will fall off and it seems to have it's not to appear at gas stations, did i understand correctly, yevgeny, it's hard to say your opinion. i don't think that

fuel will be widely available at gas stations, even at current prices. it's more important here that it was available to businesses and available, of course, to our armies already for simple, for ordinary consumers. and that of course, it’s unpleasant to say, but for us it’s not a matter of survival, and it’s more of a question of restricting consumption for us, mykhailo. and what do you think, whether such prices will not affect the actual business, because e-business really embeds these prices in the cost of goods and whether gasoline and diesel fuel will appear at gas stations after the government decided to carry out such a liberalization, a partial liberalization of the

fuel market. e price regulation because to go out of communication to say that our regulated prices will be a third higher now somehow does not fall out, but it is not the most important fuel , it is a product, as we know from economic theory, which has inelastic demand, i.e. the price increase has little effect on how many e consumers want e- buying this product will definitely have an impact on the infection. and this and this cannot be avoided. ukraine has already gone through more than one fuel prize, and what is the difference between this one and the previous ones, it is a completely different price structure, now the purchase the price of fuel has increased several times if it is still like this a few years ago, oil cost $40 per bar, now it is more than $100, we see

the prices accordingly, the purchase price has increased more than from a parable to about one dollar per liter of fuel . unfortunately, somewhere 15 years ago, ukraine was losing oil refining, including the russians buying up oil refineries, stopping them for one reason or another, in order to eliminate a competitor with our oil refineries, after we stopped buying fuel from belarus and russia, reorient such a large volume of fuel to the ukrainian market from the european market, where there is not necessarily a surplus and the ability to physically transfer these volumes became difficult. and this is also an argument in favor of the fact that fuel may not appear immediately will the prices become more morning, it is simply impossible to introduce it in some volumes but i think that the fuel will appear

literally in a few days in much larger volumes , what is now significantly different from all previous crises is that in the structure of prices taxes are not half, not more than half, as before, but not at all not a large part, because the government canceled most of the excise duties during the martial law and reduced the vat to a preferential 7%. this, according to my calculations, reduced the price by 10%. well, 10 hryvnias, i’m sorry, that’s a lot without this indulgence. it would be possible to see even more prices. the cost of logistics has increased several times, and the refineries have definitely been destroyed. up to 20% of the cost of the cost of a liter, now it is obviously higher and this is the subject where importers and the government could not

dates could not come to an agreement, because uh, this trade estimate is not only profit, how uh, they are worth, many people think that even if they are knocked down, no one will sell them. this is also the wages of employees and investments in introducing infrastructure into gas stations , a large part of which was destroyed and it needs to be restored, i promise to go down today after the program and see what is happening there at the gas stations and report to our viewers tomorrow at 8:00 in the economic news program and after the war. the last topic, but there is not much time, so i will ask you to comment on it very briefly, ukrainian businessmen wrote an open letter to president volodymyr zelenskyi with a request to immediately remove danylo hetmantsev from the post of secretary of the national reconstruction council and from the tax committee of the verkhovna rada, well, in particular

, businessmen write that scientific works and the professional activity of mr. hetmantsev is convincing that he is an active supporter of marxist socialist ideas and the soviet way of life, well, a little too it looks like the komsomol assembly, but hmm, this is a quote from a letter, and they write that business outrage was caused by mr. hetmantsev's recent statements regarding tax increases, although he actually says the same thing as the minister of finance. rightfully they complain about him, mikhail, let's take the microphone, then we'll start with you. well, in principle, we don't know when the war will end, but we understand that it's already forming like this the foundation of how the country will develop in the coming decades and it is obvious that many

entrepreneurs would like this to be a ukraine with high economic freedoms, preferably low taxes that will allow their business to break down and it would certainly be so if we were built no , in completely different conditions, not in conditions of deficit, but in fact now the government and uh in the verkhovna rada, according to this purchase, mr. hetman has to patch up terrible holes in the state budget to get out of the limited, very limited resources that are available in principle, somewhere they don’t allow, at the moment, to implement such a liberal model of the economy, accordingly, and this is such a contradiction between the short-term goals of survival and the long-term how to build a prosperous, strong country, mr. yevgeny. how would you rate these criticisms, or is this really the rhetoric of peaceful times uh, so this is such a confrontation, should we now

complain about mr. hetmantsev if we do not receive funding for the event in those volumes, and we need and alternatives, increased taxes, there are no, this is the first, the second, to me, it is more reminiscent of baby hunting for witches, that is, if business wants a favorable business environment, favorable taxes, stimulating taxes, the problem here is not in specific personalities, and if they were to be called, but in the system, you need to think more about what the system will be, how to fight for the law, whether to push through the right legislative initiatives, and not about who leads the other committee it seems to me that not much depends on your personality in our country, so i am ready for a dialogue with business . i hope this dialogue will take place with us were yevhen dubogreis from the analytical center case ukraine

and mykhailo demkiv from the icure investment group. i have three more short ones. well, they are from russia, they are all related to the sanctions against russia, therefore, in relation to the occupied territories of russia, a holiday on kolom or on the picturesque sakhalin is shining this year for russians, not in crimea e- in addition, they will not go to crimea because of the war either, the demand for trips to the peninsula has collapsed. this is reported by the russian publication kommersant, according to svetlana vozny, executive director of the crimean tourism alliance, first of all, guest houses will not be opened and small hotels, the expected load for the summer is 30%, while 70-80% is considered a good indicator for crimea, e.e. there is also information from russia about the shortage of mudra for cans and fish fishing, a shortage of white tin,

which is needed for the production of cans , was recorded imports collapsed due to sanctions, now raw materials are imported except from china, but this is not enough for the industry before the war in ukraine, factories usually bought tin for the production of cans and ready-made containers in europe or japan in the fish union the aggressor countries admitted that there is a problem, it arose due to the disruption of logistics chains, well, one more news about plumbing in russia, the cost of plumbing in russia has increased by 70%, first the invasion of ukraine, the increase in prices affected mainly mixers, sinks and toilets, experts of the russian construction company pridex they say that global manufacturers have left the market and suppliers from china and turkey are taking advantage of this. therefore, russia is left without toilets and unconcerned cans.

to be completed tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. news of the economy during the war on the espresso tv channel with andriy yanitsky , together we will win there is no friend better than the mother there is no land better than the homeland may 18 memorial day of the victims of the genocide of the crimean tatar people on the espresso tv channel information and analysis continues marathon 8 hours 24

minutes on may 18 khrystyna yatskiv and antin berkovskii we continue to collect morning information about what happened in various directions during this night, in particular, as the general staff notes , the most difficult thing is still in donbas, the head of the regional of the military administration of the luhansk region, mr. gaidai says that it is there that all the capabilities of the enemy's army and our defense capabilities are concentrated there. i will remind you that the occupiers were instructed to prepare the captured energodar of the zaporizhia region for the referendum. are launched in our country, and the military administration informs about it, as it is important for me to follow this story, because it is partly due to close attention to similar processes

in the kherson region, how did i manage to avoid this large-scale falsification there at the end of april? information came from the head of the party, voice of the skin, rudyk, who is participating in the negotiations regarding the evacuation of steel from azov. according to her, the exchange mechanism is not yet ready, and they want to deliver the defenders of mariupol to a third country they want and they can, of course, these are different things, but in any case mrs. rudyk said that we want to take them to a third country, in particular to turkey, russia is against it now, but what else can we do in this situation we will have to continue these negotiations, the espresso tv channel will closely monitor this tragic story. and we include egor firsov, a soldier, a soldier, an army, a medic. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. congratulations, how did the night pass in the city of

your current location? well, how did it pass here? it happens in avdiyivka that the night passed peacefully, shelling is constantly being fired, shells are constantly exploding, constantly every day, there has been nothing like this in recent weeks, so that every uh, if there was a day and the enemy did not try to break through the defenses, that's why. well, i i say it has passed, the enemy has been selected and that is already good . if we talk about the front of your work, where is it more extensive among the military or the civilian population, who mostly needs medical support ? oh, unfortunately. but, of course, they are free. unfortunately, a

young girl died yesterday, and she was probably 25 years old . the child is three years old, and of course , every day we leave, including when she is suffering. personally and we constantly do well, not us, but the military-civilian administration makes an appeal for people to leave because, by staying in their places, they complicate the work of the armed forces of ukraine and the administration of doctors, you are basically everywhere. i understand that mostly. in the 14th year, and now there are about 3-4 mostly elderly people, but there are also children, there are also young people, so of course we always call to evacuate and leave everyone

for a day. the fewer civilians in the front-line territories, the better for everyone, including the military. last time we met on the air, you noted that there are certain problems, there are needs in the medical part of our front, and somehow this story is moving from place to place. by the way, fortunately it’s shifting, it’s changing, i’m sure i won’t disclose the details, but i’ll tell you it ’s shifting. - it is to beat the enemy, to fulfill the task, yes, to fulfill the task, yes, but there is also a medical component to it, it definitely does not need to be put aside in some

secondary place, because it saves the life and health of the military, that is why there are not many medics in the war , and hands one way or another will always be well, it is not enough that at the start of this war the president announced the creation of an international legion. if we talk about the military component, i may not have heard, perhaps i simply missed that a similar initiative was born in our country, in particular for the volunteers and volunteers of the medical sector who could, i'm sure, have their own motives to help ukraine now, it can be both foreigners, in the end, and our internal resources, or do you think this initiative can be a fruitful initiative - it is a very right initiative if there are people
