any organization has kateryna agroruk, she is a financier, works in sydney, and stepan romanov, argentina is located in sydney stefanov in melbourne, i actively cooperate with them, they are extremely effective representatives of the ukrainian diaspora, specifically about the text of cooperation and promotion of ukraine at the world level, because currently, ukraine is heard from all world platforms, both political and cultural . ukrainian sounds foreign. what can you say? it is extremely important to work on intercultural relations and to engage in cultural diplomacy even in these times of war, because you know , culture is universal, it is sometimes much easier to understand, and through culture as a tool you can convey a lot and tell the story of that because of which we live, i, as a member of the supervisory

board of the ukrainian institute, this is a structure that operates within the ministry of foreign affairs, i am currently conducting consultations with the management and of the ukrainian institute about activities or projects that can be done in australia, in particular, by the way, when i was recently in me. people. here, the operator informed me that she and we also have a member of the board of directors of a number of cultural foundations there, melgorna melborot is the culture capital of the whole of australia, she said i would be happy to welcome any cultural projects here it is there may be exhibitions of ukrainian artists, let's say art, theater art, music, dance, that is, many things may be desired by those who want to promote ukraine, for example, that is, if we could bring kalush to

australia, you know australia participates in europe, visit sydney to hold a second concert and we would raise funds for the ukrainians at the same time. i think it would go very well, you know. it's a great idea. i hope that the kalush orchestra group, seeing our conversation with you, will think about i understand that you did not return to ukraine for a long time. you were about to return to australia . your work will continue, but have the first leaders of the country expressed their desire to visit ukraine? you know, i hope that a telephone conversation will take place in the near future. between president zelenskyi and prime minister albanian, and already in this conversation, the president will invite the prime minister to visit ukraine, and you know that if such a visit took place, it would be the first ever visit of the prime minister of australia to ukraine in my communications that i made for

the press, in particular, on the second day of the elections in australia, i mentioned that the visit to ukraine took place during the first visit of the prime minister of australia to europe, you know when australians go somewhere they don't leave for two days they are already going to europe at least once a week, because flying for exactly 24 hours in the air is very far, and i think that when he arrives in paris, when he arrives in london, the trip to kyiv can also be included in this trip, and i am actually working on it, i hope what it is will be able to take place not too soon, also literally soon there will be a phone call between the minister, his colleague, and the minister of foreign affairs, penning, and it will happen soon, as soon as the minister of defense is appointed, according to this, today, by the way, i held consultations with the minister of varshikov, i assured him because i will do everything possible so that one of the first calls of the minister of defense of australia takes place with ukraine and it is important, you know these communications are extremely important that they were in the early hours because this

determines the level of support that we can receive from you, that is, australia can still help us with something, of course, australia can provide additional weapons, they can allocate additional howitzers, they can allocate more drones, they can provide more defense, transporters can provide harpoons. we are talking about some means of communication, that is, also for the military. and in principle, i am already actively interacting with australian business, i meet with them and talk about the reconstruction of ukraine . in ukraine, we should buy more ukrainian goods. well, let's say you know, this is a big support plan, i'll tell you. yes, a large number of companies, associations, business people write to me. i say how we can help you, what should we do? i

make calls with them and tell them, i generate some ideas, of course we are talking about direct investments in ukraine, we are talking about investments through institutional investors - this is a large infrastructure fund, we say, do you know any private initiatives, i will tell you the story about one australian man who made a lot of money on iron ore, but he himself grew up on a farm. when he saw our broken tractors, you know about those stolen combines of ours when he also saw these tractors that you know are stealing these russian tanks he said i want to support a ukrainian farmer and he has already allocated a large amount of money for support i mean it will happen soon and it will be announced of course i am looking forward to when it becomes public to share more who is it and why did this person do it, but this is just an example of a private initiative, that is, a person has adopted what is and a person allocates private funds to support ukrainian farmers. i think

australians will not be offended if we call them brothers and sisters, especially at such a time, we thank you for your help and you must pass it on to vasyl to the representatives of australia. we thank you for coming here. we thank you for their support. launched by russia against ukraine on february 24 forever left an imprint in the hearts and destinies of ukrainians morning that divided life into dota after the frontman of the band serhii tanchynets shared his thoughts in the clip of the chronicles of the war, terrible shelling, destruction of which the enemy is inflicting on us and of course, the heroic resistance of the armed forces of ukraine, a symbolic clock counts down the time, as if trying to turn back the course of history, courage will be full

of smiling god , how the war changed the world of music and culture in general, about new songs and support for our armed forces of ukraine in an interview the frontman of the band without limits, serhiy tanchynets, told our colleague maksimuzbrovsky the war changed all of us

forever, and february 24 was frozen in time on the calendars in many offices and homes and actually about this is i now want to talk to serhii tanchinets, the leader of the band without restrictions, he is on the air of the national marathon, the only news, i congratulate serhii, glory to ukraine, actually 02.24 . but since the beginning of the full-scale war, this uh-uh, this creative dorobok is your first. i need it, i want to believe it, that it is very necessary for people, a song that very briefly, very

succinctly, absolutely without any extra words describes my personal feeling of the life we ​​started with you. living after february 24th, we have been living in a war for many years, since the 14th but on february 24, the war came to the home of every person in this country, not only to those people who lived in the east, not only not only to those who have been fighting since the 14th year, to all the people in this country and more than six million displaced people, a huge number the dead of people of peaceful inhabitants of the inhabitants of the force of the fallen soldiers of the defenders of the ukrainian state. this is all. this is all the information we live with now and probably ukrainian artists in general are

just creative people. they live in this world in order to document it for sure for future people. future for our children and for us today, but so that we never forget what happened to us, this song is the quintessence of what we all experienced in the last three months, you can see for sure that before you said it, no one and i didn’t think of ukrainian musicians as documentarians, but in your video, it’s thanks to the technical capabilities of course, thanks to the editing, you turn back time, it’s hard for many people to go back even mentally to february 24. do you think we’ll survive someday? well, let’s say the consequences, yes wars, what did they lead to, so that we will

eventually be able to calmly somehow remember, somehow analyze, somehow discuss whether or not in our generation, uh, we will experience nationwide post-traumatic syndrome with you again many years, but uh, after the darkest night, morning always comes, bright morning and sooner or later we calm down, our wounds will heal, but it won't be very soon, because it seems to me that this war hmm is just beginning. it seems to me that with all my optimism in life, i it seems that we will live in this mode for a little longer than the one we expected at once , therefore there will definitely be revenge and retribution, but

we still need to move towards it, and there is a phrase in the clip that sounds something like if it didn't hurt us or not the soul would burn for a glorious victory, we have only one road we have only one way we have no other way but victory because here either or we will win or or we must win yes truth truth sergey - i also heard the phrase in the context of what you are saying let's run the 100-meter race and let's run the marathon and how did you write it ? please tell us a little bit of the story for our viewers, because well, the first two months. as far as i know, can you correct me? you, uh, you lacked creativity, you were a driver, you were a volunteer where are you where are you did you find the strength to sit down to write, or is it

just like creative people, everything comes by itself, the muse woke up in the morning, sat down to write, or did you force yourself to sit down and take peru in your hand, and for the first two months, i really i really wanted to write music because we traveled a lot, then later concerts for the military began, and if you were there, music returned to my life, but there was a place, a place for writing, if it wasn’t for the time to write music. to me, it's often how you write music, to be completely honest most of my recent songs there were written at home in the kitchen, this is my place where i can sit quietly and think, uh, analyze something, write , try, and so on. i just didn't have the opportunity

to stop. hmm, i spent time at home, but it was all in a hurry, i arrived, spent the night, packed up, left after three days, returned, and so on . for two months, and there was no opportunity to form them into words and phrases and give them meaning with these words, uh , then this moment appeared, i didn't panic a little, but when i was driving somewhere and i was driving for a long, long time, i thought about something about life, about the creative component of my life, and so on. and i was a little stressed because there was no opportunity to write , but then this opportunity appeared and i want to write about it. this opportunity appeared thanks to the armed forces of ukraine and the heroism of the ukrainian people , because the armed forces of ukraine and others er, armed units

pushed the russians away from the capital of our country and we we got an opportunity more or less similar to our previous life to feel ourselves and again this is as if it had a direct influence on the creativity of the artist , that is, the armed forces did everything so that the ukrainian artist could concentrate and write the song is actually about the armed forces, well, that is, there is some kind of combination of mutual support, and i want it to be these first weeks and first months of our lives , at the beginning of the great war, so that we do not lose this emotion of mutual support and the understanding that if we if we don't support each other, then the chances of victory are decided by the time of victory's arrival. this is the story of the writing of this song. it is more extraordinary and most of all, there was

no conjuncture in this song. we did not look for any modern methods, ordinary, and so on. we wrote uh and with the boys, together with artur danilyan , as the producer, we made a sound that accurately conveys the emotion of these words, then with artem grigoryan, we shot a video for this song, it was also shot very quickly and very concentrated emotions and it also came out very sincerely to you, thank you for your work, for supporting your work with the creativity of our soldiers, er, soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine, the only news, together we are strong, will support the ukrainian army with money, scan the code today, ukraine honors the memory of children who died due to russia's armed aggression, according to the office of the prosecutor general, as a result of the occupiers' strikes, 261 children went to zasvit, another 463 were injured, the most

affected were in donetsk, kyiv, kharkiv , chernihiv and luhansk regions, but this is not the final information on the victims and victims among children may be more. work is underway to establish data in the places of active hostilities in the temporarily occupied and liberated territories. during the broadcast, we will tell the stories of children and those who did not manage to survive after the shelling. the stories of children who are still brothers and sisters, now his children, at the age of 18, vyacheslav yalova had to become the guardian of four children, his mother, 37-year-old marina, was killed in front of him an enemy projectile when they were returning home together in their native village of verkhny toretsk that in the donetsk region due to shelling the children were left not only with their mother but also without a home, but they managed to escape from the russian occupation, an acquaintance took them to

kostiantynivka, after that they reached drohobych in the lviv region by evacuation train themselves, only documents, now they started life from scratch, the local authorities provided them with two rooms in a dormitory, food for brothers and sisters, vyacheslav cooks on his own , he is studying to become a paramedic, he wants to become a doctor a rehabilitator, what does he dream of owning his own home , we will overcome it, we will rebuild it, we will win, daily news , together we are strong, in the first two months of the war, the government allocated more than uah 2.3 billion for the reconstruction of the state , the prime minister of ukraine, denys myhal , said that the first stage of reconstruction is now underway, the assessment of losses, preparation of technical documentation of projects and repair of critical objects , kyiv and chernihiv regions received 400 million hryvnias each, kharkiv and sumy regions received 250 million hryvnias each, the city of kyiv was allocated 200 million

hryvnias for zhytomyr oblast 100 million uah and mykolaiv oblast 56 million uah, we called on the local authorities to also allocate funds for reconstruction if possible, we see that there is a positive synergy here, for example, the leadership of kyiv joined the government's reconstruction program by allocating funds from the local budget for the reconstruction of destroyed housing and objects infrastructure, the government's task is to restore most of the damaged critical facilities by the fall so that all citizens of the de-occupied territories have water, gas, and electricity wherever they are it is possible, we will repair schools, kindergartens and hospitals, we will continue the conversation with the acting minister of economy in 2020, pavel koch, mr. pavel, we congratulate you. good, mr. pavel, according to the data of the president's office and the kyiv international

school of economics, after the war stage, ukraine's direct losses exceed 600 billion more than 105 dollars of them are losses from damage to infrastructure, the ukrainian state has already lost 35% of gdp, the financial capabilities of people are decreasing, what efforts should be made to maintain the economy and what should it be international support well, here it is certainly worth talking about different levels of tasks, there are the most urgent things that need to be done, this means maintaining economic stability, a rather important decision was made yesterday in this direction by the national bank, namely, raising the discount rate, which will stabilize the hryvnia, that is, protect us from this cash rate who is very sure that they saw such a double exchange rate when we change the non-cash exchange rate to cash in a different way, people lose

money on this, and it will also allow us to slow down the pace somewhere price growth is not entirely because they are related to logistics and the difficulties of wartime, but it will partially allow to get this one important decision, the second one that should go in parallel with this because this decision will harm the budget and because the budget was actually cheaply financed at the expense of the national bank now it will not be of those volumes, but the decision on the budget should be made precisely through negotiations with international partners, because they have announced to support ukraine sufficient amounts to support our national budget, but they often come thickly, firstly, slowly and secondly are not quite efficiently distributed, that is, a large part goes to some kind of purchases within these countries, and then they provide us with goods to support third countries in connection with the war in ukraine, that is, a certain redistribution is needed, although there are a couple of billions of additional dollars per month towards the ukrainian budget, what exactly it has been stabilized

, yes, these are the steps that are needed simply to maintain economic stability. we have this and that way . inflation, the collapse of the hryvnia, and for the budget to work and that function to be fulfilled, this is probably the first, yes, about the increase in accounting, and then, of course, there are such priority things that relate to logistics, that relate to the recovery of the fuel market, and what we have now is such a slow daily work of relocation of enterprises, etc. which are needed in order to ensure that our daily life is more or less at a normal level because it is possible during the war and of course it was very desirable to agree on this separately with partners

included in the budget is a program to support the economy itself, which would consist of such a broad program of payments to people, namely to those who lost income during the war, that is, about half of the population, to support them and to support demand in the economy, because there is a catastrophic lack of it it's just that the business cannot work normally, they are working at a loss because the demand has fallen due to the war and we can additionally load our production capacities at the expense of the state order for humanitarian goods, for goods of dual purpose for the army, that is, that is that a program to support the e-e economy, it would be effective, of course, we also need to talk about this with donors, precisely because we do not have and will not have during the war the resources to support ourselves while the war is going on, and here part of the needs must be closed off, of course, we still pay with taxes , part of the budget, in particular, but we will objectively not close the whole of it, and this is a very important front of support for

ukraine - this is exactly the guardian aid, let 's talk about raising the public rate to 25%, what does this mean? why do you welcome this decision i think the decision is the right decision in a timely manner. you and i saw the family day at the money changers there. what we saw about the drop in the hryvnia exchange rate is a very unpleasant situation for ordinary ordinary people. there are millions of people in our country now abroad. they are in essence and now they lose money because they exchange at one exchange rate, yes, i withdraw in a different way, that is, they have two exchange rates, now they lose money every time during currency exchange operations, this is a problem, it is wrong, and there was a threatening situation that we are essentially going to devaluation of the hryvnia, and that is all

galloping inflation is high, i.e. high inflation percentages of 10% from 20 to therefore, this is all a problem that had to be solved and the national bank decided, you took it decisively and in one step raised it up to 19% to a high level in essence. thus, sending a signal to everyone that now any whoever invests in hryvnia assets on deposit with hryvnias invests in the bonds of the ministry of finance, he will receive a very high return on his money and, accordingly, this will attract additional funds and restrain and make the hryvnia attractive, this will restrain devaluations will restrain inflation, this is the right decision and it is correct that what made him so decisive was that they did not pull the cat by the tail, as they say, but no, they did not make several decisions because then everyone sat and waited until they would raise it . all this is the correct entry. if he would

allow one step to change the situation, well, i therefore congratulate this decision, it is correct. but of course, now there is a budget problem that must be closed through effective negotiations with international partners i.e. it should be closed at the expense of the partners, mr. pavlo, in particular, with regard to the state budget, the funds allocated by the partners will allow to keep the estimate afloat. look, there is a big difference between the funds that are declared to support ukraine or even voted there in the parliaments of other countries and the funds that are actually physically received. that is, the tens of billions declared there have actually arrived so far, much less , that is, there is a problem with the speed of providing these resources and the second problem is their distribution often and densely, a large part of them does not go to support the budget

of ukraine, and in fact, until the last month, the support was not enough to completely cover the budget needs, you know. one thing is that, well, we earn somewhere around 3 billion dollars in taxes , generate for the last month and spend almost 10 and spend the difference. we covered partly through donor support and partly due to the printing of money by the national bank and due to the fact that we drive all the resources inside the country into the bonds of the ministry of finance, which are kept relatively cheap, well , the interest rate on them is relatively low accordingly, a situation arises when we have not yet fully reconciled our budget at the expense of our partners, but actually for the time of war, that is, for the next month, and we have to reconcile it completely at the expense of our partners, that is, roughly speaking, we have paid the taxes, we have paid the expenses, the higher difference should essentially cover the aid partners, then it is a more or less stable system that

will work stably during the war. and we can be calm about the budget, because printing money is always the way to nowhere, it can be used 1 2 3 times, but the most important thing is that the unblocking of ukrainian ports can somewhat reduce the drop in gdp to 22-25% from the projected 30. how critical will the lack of a blockade affect the economy? it is becoming more and more grant-based, that is, without a return, and this is correct. they speak only among financiers. but it is clear that if the economy of ukraine is strong for itself, the war will continue for a long time, if there is a level of debt, the amount of debt exceeds 100% of the country's gdp, it will be necessary to talk about partial write-off debts well, it's obvious, financier there, it's already obvious , well, at least at the level of experts, at the level of people

who understand how the economy works, the financial system is at the level of financiers, er, such conversations are being held. i wouldn't say that they are. i don't know if such negotiations are being held open exactly no , for now we take the position that we pay our debts, we generally behave as a very reliable debtor and this is correct, but there is, you know, if there is reliable, correct, competent behavior and there is an objective economic situation, that is, if ukraine will go very deep into debt if the level will bear such a destabilizing level of debt, all this is due to the war, due to objective partner circumstances, it is clear that then it will be necessary to conduct a certain speech about the restructuring of these works, that is, we are not talking about some defoe, about something catastrophic, one-sided speech it is about a dialogue with creditors about the fact that, well, in such a situation, part of the country's debts must be restructured in some way or another, and again, so as not to lead to this, it is desirable just now that the aid should go to us as a grant, because

this then objectively does not increase the burden on the country, well, accordingly, it can and will be possible at all to get by with krasnoters. pavlo kukhta served as the minister of economy in the 20th year , and anton strashko this night is performing the duties of a news anchor on our broadcast
