preferential taxation that was introduced at the beginning of the war, it remains as it is and restrictions on inspections and restrictions on fines and restrictions on e-e taxation of small business, practically exemption from taxation of small business and e, respectively, a 2% single tax that replaces income tax and tax on added value, this will all remain until the end of the war, and to what extent do we have to tighten the belts, will everything be fine with us? and with protected budget articles, will we have the salaries of those who works specifically for the state, this is a war and we must realize that the situation is not easy , the situation is very difficult and the fight is going on for every penny that we receive both in taxes and in the form of e-e help from our foreign partners, no one is going to take our

state for maintenance and we will receive help only if it is actually our business our citizens will pay taxes in a fair amount therefore well actually in the amount determined by the law er-er therefore er-er we definitely and the minister of finance and the prime ministers of the president do this in order to attract as much money as possible to the state budget at the expense of our partners, but we must understand that filling the budget and financing the army is the same thing as the war on the front of our fighters with the enemy, and this front the economic front is no less important than an ordinary smartphone, but still , which ones do i want to spend, which expenses are untouchable, that is, they will always be on time, they will always be in full, which expenses are such that

nothing will happen to them, because there are already many budget employees complain that there are delays in salaries, there are reductions in expenses that are financed in the first place, it is probably the army, god forbid, but we will have to cut something, these expenses will be cut last, but in addition, protected articles of the budget are financed, these are social payments - these are pensions, these are payments to state employees, etc., which are financed in full for today, but once again i want to emphasize and i want everyone to understand me correctly every month, this money does not come according to some pre-approved schedule, this is a struggle, a struggle for each a penny is the fate of this draft law on the write-off of loans for property destroyed during the war, how are the compensation mechanisms being worked out, the

banks will still need to be reimbursed well, in fact, this week, as our committee recommended this draft law for consideration by the verkhovna rada in the first reading, we really propose to write off loan debts if the apartment is the only apartment where the debtor lives and if the car is the only car the debtor uses, make a decision right now without waiting for the end of the war on other loans, similar loans, freeze the interest payment and freeze the body until the end of martial law. we definitely understand that this decision will lead to certain losses of the banks, which will be compensated at the expense of the state budget, now according to the calculations of the national bank. this amount for apartments is 3 billion, and there was already some kind of discussion with the bankers themselves . yes, we had a discussion at the working group, there was a

discussion at the committee, the bankers are definitely not happy with such a decision. we have a moral right to discuss, because if a person has lost his only home, to force him to service this loan in the future and extinguish his body, well, this seems to me to be beyond the limits of human morality. i want to speak about one legislative initiative regarding the abolition of the military levy, the so-called salary tax, for whom will this opportunity be. well, there a very simple bill for military personnel and persons equated with military personnel is proposed to cancel this 1.5%. the issue is not settled and it is proposed to be settled

and we also supported the draft law. i think that in the coming week we will adopt it." in order to counter unprecedented threats to the national security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of our state, today the cabinet of ministers of ukraine, acting on the instructions of the president of ukraine, decides to terminate

the agreement between the government of ukraine and the government of the russian federation on visa-free travel. this was announced by the president of the eu executive body usula fort fonderlyan of the european union. the european commission decided that ukraine has generally made progress in achieving the stability of institutions that guarantee democrats the supremacy of human rights and the protection of minorities, but noted that kyiv still needs to carry out a number of important reforms, in particular to improve the control over the integrity of judges to ensure the full functioning of anti-corruption institutions, the introduction of an anti-oligarchic law, etc., there is a positive conclusion regarding granting ukraine an application to the eu submitted for consideration by the leaders of the european union states at the june 22-23 summit in brussels, and

the first step towards ukraine's membership in the eu, the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi on twitter welcomed the positive conclusion of the european commission on granting ukraine the status of a candidate for membership of the european union, he noted that this decision brings our victory closer and also thanked the president of the european commission , ursola fond deryan, and every member of the european commission for the historic decision, now ukraine expects a positive outcome of the european council meeting next week british prime minister boris johnson personally received a letter from six-year-old ilya kostushevich from mariupol, the boy's parents died as a result of russian shelling of the city, and he himself was saved by volunteers in may. ilya learned about boris johnson's appeal to ukrainian children and decided to write him a reply with thanks and congratulations to everyone to the children of britain, the boy added a painted flag of ukraine and a photo of himself with his beloved cat to the letter, ukrzaliznytsia employees passed

this link to the head of britain during his trip to kyiv, then we will talk about the euro-atlantic prospects of our country in the context of the decision of the european commission, and we will talk about it in more detail with vitaliy bezdy, people's deputy of ukraine from the servant of the people faction. i wish vitaliy health. congratulations. so we have a preliminary decision. next, of course, the european council must vote on it . but we have historically had such a positive positive friday, even if we look at the previous visit of four european leaders at once, you are now in brussels, what is the mood there? can we talk about the fact that the european union i am really ready to officially formalize relations with ukraine as a candidate. well, i think

that we should still be cautiously optimistic . indeed, i, together with my colleagues and representatives of the local self-government of the public environment, are in brussels today, parallel to when the european commission held its discussions. on the eve of the publication of the opinion on ukraine, an event on democratic reforms in ukraine took place right here, where the key changes taking place in ukraine during the last two, three , but eight years, that is, after the revolution of dignity. well, it is worth noting that based on the conclusion and based on what we hear from the members of the european parliament from representatives of the european commission, i think that ukraine's chances are high because everyone perfectly understands that first of all, there must be such a certain political decision here, now the european union must show ukraine that we are, after all, part of the european community or not, and therefore i hope that this work will be perceived to contribute to this, if you look at it even

for today's conclusion of the european commission, it is not for nothing that among our group today there are representatives of local self-governments, of course , decentralization and reforms of local self-government have the most positive feedback, in particular, it is simply written in black and white today, a separate session was devoted specifically to this, i hope that we after all, we are becoming a country that can not only learn, but can also help a certain european partner with its best practices, i think that all this will contribute to the fact that the positive elements outside of ukraine, they will allow us to receive the status of a candidate for eu membership through vitaly, but what are the possible conditions for ukraine regarding membership, we understand that there will be an official list of reforms that we must carry out in each sector. but maybe the official and behind-the-scenes rhetoric is somewhat different b said that it is not significantly different from what we heard today a-a active complaints about the judicial

system i think the main thing is justified in the context of the fact that it worries its ukrainian entrepreneurs many ukrainian citizens are quite repelled by theses about the need for, let’s say, the work of the constitutional court of ukraine, uh, again, it seems to me. and in a public document of the european commission , the same is stated. well, in principle, we still understand that the activities of the constitutional court have long been the ukrainian expert environment questions such a policy, that is, it cannot be said that when we talk about the conditions for membership, after applying, they will learn significantly in the insidious e-rhetoric from the public most likely, they repeat each other, and the fact that at first ukraine was offered to consider the status of ukraine's candidate for joining the european union in a package with georgia and moldova, and we see that now we are already being considered for ties with moldova, so to speak, can we talk that it will be connected, well, will the progress of ukraine be compared or

connected with moldova or not? are these completely different tracks and not even parallel? well, in my opinion - these are different tracks, we understand that from the point of view of some democratic transformations of course, for sure us plus. in fact, what moldova has here is in unison with us for the simple reason that there is a rather conflicted territory on the territory of moldova . who is carrying out the countries, it is happening on parallel tracks, there is no connection here that someone is pulling someone forward or dragging someone to the bottom , because if we turn again to today's conclusion, georgia really did not receive positive feedback from the representatives of the european commission. although if we recall even the meetings related to a-and again the panel reforms were combined ukraine, georgia

, moldova and the descent times, but we understand the processes of the line georgia will say that they have a political accent are not very positively perceived in the field of european politics, it’s just why i ask for moldova, there are more balkan countries, which are also well, at least we heard that there is probably a misunderstanding why ukraine is now in the first place or in the first position of the european consideration of the european commission and the european council regarding the application but these countries have been for many years, they still do not have a variable status, what is being said about this in brussels, look, there are different opinions, objectively, there are different opinions. i don't want to make any comparisons or blame anyone there. but i think that ukraine should feel as calm as possible in this aspect, because

again, if we go back to those things that european partners note as it should successful in ukraine in the field of this or that reform, it must be said frankly that ukraine dominates here, both over the countries of the western balkans and in relation to other neighbors that you and i mentioned on the air today . we have to embrace you as a substitute in ukraine but nevertheless, i think that this is not a curtsy, it is a nearby political gift, if i am sure such a positive decision, then it is the merit of the entire ukrainian people, starting with the armed forces of the forces that will defend our country at the front end, all countermeasures to reforms are coming to an end. indeed , for many years, a-a-s has moved ukraine in the european direction, so i am not inclined to believe that this is a gift to ukraine due to the armed aggression of the russian federation, vitaly, you said that you see sectoral reforms in which ukraine prevails over other countries of other countries that also want to join the

european union, and in what exactly, at least in general terms, do we have an advantage. it affects local self-government more, i look through the prism of this before the visit to brussels in particular and attended another international event and it is worth noting that here from the point of view of the administrative trust and from the point of view of the tax relationship that we have between the local contemporary and the central government what was carried out in recent years, then ukraine prevails and the lion's share of the countries of eastern europe, which are members of the european union, but will simply hand over the stake from the candidate and really to the europeans themselves and the representatives of such countries the czechs say that they would also like to use the ukrainian experience, because, bearing in mind, it is only convenient that they were there in the 19th and 20th years ago. in fact , these things are actually cited in the narrow as a sneeze

tactical communication. heavy from the front of the legislation, this is the electoral collad in the 19th year and, in principle, the country is very strong from the point of view of transparency, the europeans have a certain skepticism and fear that there will not be a rollback, but nevertheless they also reflect increasingly better democratic practice, in my opinion, in principle, few countries of eastern central europe can make progress in these sacred spheres, this is not the case. yes, it is on the river, which directly affects the wallet from the fortune of one or another ukrainian, but from the point of view of institutionality, this is what is noted by european colleagues, regarding the euro, skeptics of the ukrainian euro-european future eh, did their number decrease because a number of countries eh, well, at least if you read the international press - they expected the decision of the european commission eh because after that they had to publicly decide or at least wait for this decision in order to publicly come out later and say that they are ready to

continue to conduct a dialogue regarding the ukrainian e-e candidacy and prospective membership in the european union or not, what is their number now euro skeptics in relation to ukraine. let's face it, their number has decreased significantly in recent weeks regarding the expectation or non-expectation of the conclusion of the european commission. i think that it definitely has an influence, but none the less it was also an attempt to take a break somewhere for myself, in my opinion, in fact, it is no less than the conclusion of the european commission, and the influence on the voting of one or another country has a direct effect, including the information policy of ukraine and the way ukraine positions itself in terms of information, because it is necessary to frankly understand that when decisions are made by politicians, politicians rely on certain sociological data in the middle of this country due to the fact that ukraine is currently very successful in this direction and in fact ukraine has support in almost all countries of the european union i think this is another guarantee of potential

success, because ukraine is really reputable. now it is a country that first prohibits european values , and some politicians who had skepticism or even have it . sympathies of his electorate , this is a normal political process and in this case he plays in favor of ukraine and further our conversation . if we are talking about nato, since you have the headquarters of the alliance in brussels, defense minister oleksiy reznikov also stated on friday that ukraine is already a de facto member of the nato family and the alliance partners have confirmed this, so he summed up his of a two-day visit to brussels in order for you to say what they say in brussels about ukraine in

the context of nato, unfortunately, i do not touch the nato sphere due to my activities. it seems to me that she is too careful yes, nato policy is clear. why are the representatives of the european community divided ? we, as representatives of ukraine, should focus on the fact that the support was maximally strict and maximally consistent, and here it is worth noting that the representatives of the diplomatic corps of ukraine working with nato, these parliamentarians, representatives of the ministry of defense, they do their work qualitatively, if we take into account the meetings there by the formator stein, then all the same, each of these meetings has certain er, certain help and

certain for ukraine, which are positive, but of course we do not tire of repeating that russia dominates in the number of weapons and here from nato countries we want systemic maximum support because, after all, the heroism of our soldiers who die every day is why i cannot hold the front only on heroism of course what should be a priority from the point of view of heavy weapons, i hope that nato partners will hear us better yes, but here is an important point both in nato and in the european union, the decision to accept a new member this should be a positive decision by all, then which countries did you say that units of eurosceptics, with which countries, if we can now name the last one in ukraine, we need to work more closely so that there are as few such skeptics of ukraine as possible or there are none left at all, see here in principle if we are talking about the european perspective of the european union, then there is

nothing new here, and when foreign information was taken here, some skepticism was published by representatives of certain scandinavian countries. referring to germany, austria, i think it was dispelled by the rhetoric of the icon of the millet yesterday in kyiv, and indeed there are certain of our territorial neighbors who can express different rhetoric but i think that this will not affect the legislative perspective of the european union, as for the perspective of nato, it will probably affect it. this is already a more difficult security component, on which the ukrainian position at the front should definitely be reconsidered more strongly, because the position at the front has a great influence on the negotiation processes not only between us and russia, but also, in particular, with the western ones partners yes, but the european union is, at least

to a lesser extent, security, but the economic and political union is primarily out of nato - it is a political and security union that seems absolutely equal to vitaliy thank you for joining our broadcast vitaliy bezhyn people's deputy of ukraine from the servant of the people faction with brest, together we are strong, we will support the ukrainian army with money , scan the code and contact us olga krymska, this is the state expert of the expert group on european integration and euro-atlantic integration ms. olya i congratulate you, i know that the european union allocated 200 million euros to support two hundred ukrainian startups. please tell us about this initiative, what kind of startups are these? yes, the eu allocates grant support for ukrainian startups and small and medium-sized enterprises in the amount of 20 million e. the budget of one project cannot exceed 60,000 euros. a chance

to receive about 200 ukrainian applications, as well as non-financial support, such as business consultations and finding partners, it is known in advance that the application submission will start on june 23 and will last until september 7 in order to give advice on preparing a successful application and answering the questions of all ukrainian stehoders, and the eu side is holding a presentation of this grant program on june 24 under the name ukrainiantec.info day . you can find it on the website of the ministry in transformation or on the facebook page of the ministry of digital transformation or search on the internet ukrainiantec.info day and therefore, we invite ukrainian startups and

small businesses to take part in this presentation of the grant program on june 24, as well as to join the grant program, because this is a great opportunity to expand our activities in european markets and beyond, and taking this opportunity, i also want to inform you that he numbers and ukraine are actively working on joining the digital europe program of the european union, and participation in this program will also allow seven legal entities registered in ukraine to choose to participate in grants by direction supercomputer artificial intelligence digital skills and the use of digital technologies in the economy and society so we will definitely share the details with you after signing the relevant agreement and we are also negotiating with the eu side about ukraine's participation in the connect in ukraine program send this program will help ukraine develop

the digital infrastructure of these telecom infrastructures , as well as restore the phone infrastructure destroyed as a result of russian aggression. ukraine continues to move closer to eu telecommunication standards in particular, to the single digital market, tell us what progress we have so far, the integration of ukraine into the single digital market is one of the main three- strategic priority states, this is the so-called digital visa-free program by the european union, which further integrates ukraine and ukrainian companies into the european digital market. what will allow, in particular remove barriers to e-commerce in order to clearly understand the benefits of such information, on the initiative of the ministry of digital transformation , leading economists conducted a study which showed that ukraine's integration into the eu's single digital market could lead to an increase

in ukraine's gdp by about 12%." 4 million euros and the eu export of services to ukraine is about 9%, this is almost 300 million euros . in the field of e-e digitization a-a it is posted on the official website of the ministry of digital transformation so everyone who considers it is interesting to get acquainted with this our path to the european digital market in advance i can

say that more than 20 bodies are involved in the implementation and implementation of this road map and in general, the reform of the digital sphere in ukraine is happening synchronously with the eu countries, so this year the law of ukraine on electronic communications came into force which implements the electronic communications code of the european union itself synchronously at the same time we implement the same legal norms despite the war between numbers continues to actively develop accordingly, the regulatory acts are sub-legal for this law to work properly a-a in addition, the ministry is working on the implementation of a system of electronic trust services equivalent to the european union, this will create many advantages for both businesses and ordinary citizens . form with foreign counterparties, obtaining an international electronic

invoice, etc., for this we are implementing a joint work plan with the european union, after the implementation of this plan, it will be possible to conclude bilateral agreement on the recognition of trust services, and i want to emphasize that the european union has not concluded such an agreement with any state, one of the important practical steps for ukraine on the way to a single digital such and membership in the eu is participation in the work of the body of european regulators of electronic communications. last week, the european commission made a decision on the participation of the bank of the national regulatory body of ukraine in the field of electronic communications questionnaire ukrainian regulator has been cooperating with the bank and its by expert working groups at various levels. and now he has received the status of a member of the observer, this will allow implementing eu standards in the field of electronic communications, adopting the best practices of the eu and understanding the trends in the development of

european legislation . connection in order for ukrainian women residing in the european union to stay in touch with their relatives in ukraine in april of this year a joint statement was signed between the mobile operators of the european union and ukraine, it ensured affordable calls to ukraine from sim cards of european union operators received by our citizens abroad, from the ukrainian side, kyivstar vodafone and lifecell joined the statement, and from the european union side, more than 30 operators ukraine continues to take measures to ensure free or reduced roaming tariff for ukrainians in the eu in the long term or at least until the end of the war and we are actively communicating with the

european union regarding joining the single roaming space of the eu and concluding a corresponding bilateral agreement. thank you, ms. olya olga krevska, she was in touch with us. she is a state expert of the expert group on european integration and euro-atlantic integration. we will pass on and win the news together . we are a strong ship, madam
