uah 50 to 200 billion, despite the fact that the surplus part of the state budget due to military operations has decreased in the form of taxes and fees, because many ukrainian enterprises have unfortunately stopped their activities due to hostilities, as enterprises that know they are located directly in the hostilities zone and are undergoing changes, the other part is enterprises that have reduced the scope of their activities due to the disruption of supply chains or raw materials or sales of products, including enterprises that previously worked here in partnership with enterprises of the russian federation or belarus, let us understand that now any cooperation in this direction is impossible for ukrainian enterprises, and this is also the reason for the change in the structure of demand within the country, since due to

hostilities, many citizens were forced to either leave the country or move to other regions and, accordingly, have significantly changed their spending structure, only now, as a rule, the main part of the spending of ukrainians is directed to e-food to ensure daily residence and priority you should support then and savings or long-term expenses, our fellow citizens, as a rule, postpone them for the post-war period, and this is also a lot of jobs and opportunities for the work of ukrainian businesses, which are now lost due to such structural changes in demand. thank you, mr. oleksandr, thank you for coming to connection oleksandr kava, deputy minister of finance of ukraine, was just on the air of the national marathon, it might seem that your

russian gymnasts are taught to be silent too, records and titles are more important to them than peace. however, we athletes around the world should not be silent. i call on everyone to support the boycott of russian national and team athletes. support ukraine on the sports front. you can stop the war . silence kills. share your videos and publications. post them in on social networks with the company's hashtags with the support of the ministry of youth and sports of ukraine what to do if you find yourself under the rubble of a house assess the environment call for help inform where you are

challenges e-e which are added only in wartime about what will change in the work of the ministry of social policy a-a we will talk with oksana zholnovych e- oksana, the minister of social policy of ukraine. i congratulate you. you came to the ministry probably in one of the most difficult periods. hmmm, this is a war. you always have to think about where to get funds for these or other basic social benefits, did they try to dissuade you from taking such a step as sitting in this chair? well, when i talked to my family, they said that there is such an offer, my candidacy is being considered, then really, my relatives did not accept it with enthusiasm, of course. they were worried about me and understood that it was a huge, huge burden the challenge is a lot of different kinds of risks, and well. my sister, i

was so hot, she said something, it seems to me that you are not being promoted. but that's why, of course, there were different opinions, there were also those that maybe not it is necessary, it is really very difficult, but when i made my decisions, when i analyzed all the pros and cons, then my main factor was actually all these events that happened after february 24, a full-scale war, as they always say that people in such situations choose several, well, one of the three possible options, run, uh, freeze, yes, or do something, or fight, and uh, when a full-scale war began, i saw how many state structures could not reorient themselves because they could not act as a template, but within the framework of such extraordinary challenges, it was necessary to make some non-standard decisions, since i am from the public sector, from the business sector, from the scientific sector. i have the tools and opportunities to act in a non-standard way, and

even in the position of the head of the department of social policy of the president's office, i started, let's say, for the first time, to organize vacation corridors for people with disabilities and those who could not evacuate themselves, then there i also saw subsidence that i had to pay attention to, and it is clear that it is possible, on the contrary, a chance to approach solving complex issues where traditional officials, traditional civil servants will have a very hard time adapting to new conditions, they have to spend more time, so your experience was only useful to you, but there is one main argument that you told yourself every year - everyone should do everything they can for the sake of of our victory and if a lot of people sacrifice their lives on the battlefield and therefore i am a victim in the form of a time of stress of possible risks and even some reputational losses a small loss compared to others i think

that i want to make this front victorious for the sake of many people who need such support, for some reason we hear, especially lately, that yes, or another job or another position is a kind of sacrifice, and it is not a conscious decision from either side. a position of this level takes away personal space, it takes away personal time, it takes away the opportunity to spend more time with relatives, it excludes some of your hobbies, it forces you to turn on 24/7 and you have no other life, on the one hand, for people who live by work on the other hand, it's a plus, on the other hand, it's a minus in the quality of life in general, but i think that today everyone, in their place, should give priority to work, it's not time to rest in our country, there will definitely be such a time we have no

doubt about this, but does every minister at the beginning of his term have ambitious plans for certain changes or global reforms in his field in his ministry ? years and before the war, we talked about it ah, are there any changes needed in the approaches to the concepts of living wage, yes, are we going to see any changes soon, or is it possible, you say, war is not the right time, and war is an opportunity, let's we will perceive any circumstance as an opportunity, it makes its own corrections, it imposes certain conditions and risks, but at the same time, this is a time that must be used to the full in order to improve our lives already tomorrow, so that after the war we will be with a set of good tools to restore the volume

we, as a team, have already met several times and conducted such ministrations regarding the next steps and further steps, obviously we need to systematically reformat social policy from the point of view of what tools we use and from the point of view of what goals we want to achieve social policy is first of all politics about a person is a person who, for one reason or another, has some difficult life circumstances. well , a person who is fine usually does not intersect with politics. in the sphere of our interest, this is a person who already has some kind of problem or some kind of challenge or some kind of difficult decision that we need to help him make , and we must always remember that we are the ultimate goal of any social policy - it is to get a person out of these difficult circumstances. to make it once

again such that it does not overlap with social security administrations or other social policy instruments, we must make it as economically active as possible. and all our programs should be aimed at this today. there are a lot of so-called status programs where a small payment is assigned that does not solve any problems of a person who. well, to be honest, hmmm, we have about 40 budget programs in the ministry. each budget program includes everything from 20 different types of payments, which are extremely small. it is clear what their purpose is. they decided for sure a long, long time ago, all this was forgotten, this whole complex, uh, a set of incomprehensible funds must be reformatted and directed to a specific goal for the support of a person, and this is what needs to be done so much competently in order to withstand all the constitutional

requirements regarding social support of a person so that it does not appear under any circumstances to be a decrease in the amount of support for a person, at the same time, we need to reformat some things from payments to assistance, that is, material assistance and war is also very showed that we have people of retirement age who were left alone in the city of kyiv at a time when, well, everyone could evacuate and they had pensions, but they could not go down and buy bread or some medicine . that is, they needed a service, they needed whether it's a social worker or a volunteer, or some other physical person helped. the same applies to people with addictions in families, when, for example, there is alcoholism, we won't solve their problem with a payment. problems if they are in such a family, how to help a person with an addiction

to overcome this addiction, that is, to socialize it back, to find a job, to employ it, that is, to provide such a complex of solutions so that this family can live completely independently without all kinds of support, i.e. to take the hand and take it out. this is how the whole support system works abroad now, and this is to take the hand, uh, you know when you need to hug, when you need to feel sorry, when you need to argue, this is the work of a social worker, a very difficult job, emotionally exhausting and, unfortunately, in we want to raise the prestige of the work of such workers, increase their wages, e-e, inform society about the importance of such work, expand the circle of educational institutions that train social workers, hold an informational a campaign for young people who are looking for a job to be a social worker, in fact, it is emotionally important. i hmm, i remember very much how america, well

, in the united states, did an internship, and in england, when i talked with social workers, they felt satisfied. he internally feels satisfaction. yes, when he can solve someone's problem, when he can extend a helping hand, when the circumstances of a person in need change before his eyes, this is a wonderful feeling, and we need that the people who work in this field actually live with this feeling, that is, that they are not embittered by the world. as is very often the case in our country, and people themselves with difficult life circumstances, and that they are such saviors and family doctors on social issues. focus today, it is not so visible in our society. perhaps you have calculated how many are needed. well, let's say social workers. in the current conditions, there is for an average city in ukraine when at least one social worker, depending on how compact

the population must be from 10 to 30,000 people from 30. maybe it is already too many, which means that this territory should be assigned to him in this territory, the social worker must interact very closely with the district doctor, family doctors, and the heads of condominiums that is, by all school heads and teachers by all people who can tell him that somewhere, some families, somewhere in some uh, well, somewhere, some people need help, so that you can help them in time, because there is a big difference, for example , between a person's appeal to a doctor and to a social worker an employee when we understand that something is hurting us and in us this prompts us to go to the doctor so a social problem is not always visible to those people who suffer from it and they will very rarely seek help, they need to be proactively identified and helped by a person who suffers from

violence the family is not always ready to say about it very often you have to tell her there is such an opportunity to get rid of it it is absolutely correct to say now many of the problems you are talking about him oksana you can't solve uh by yourself ukrainians who are not social workers, but they feel this urge to help. this is the case with volunteers, in particular, and those whose hearts were simply there because of their grandmother. how are there several nuances that arose when people began to apply for help for payments en masse and which did not allowed absolutely all persons to receive their payments immediately and on time, we analyzed these reasons and very often they were technical errors, for example, one number was incorrectly indicated in the ivan and the application was no longer processed, there were also problems related to because when a family goes, it

was necessary to fill out a separate application for each member of the family, and minor children do not have accounts, respectively , the child's last name was there, and the mother's account was not always read correctly, that is, there was no understanding that these people were related the same family also had a number of technical problems, such unresolved issues were not handled by the social security administration because they were not designed for a huge number of applications, well, this increased their necessity many times over to respond to these appeals to process them, but little by little we are settling all these issues. i think that they will be resolved in the near future for this category of people whose e-e submissions have been suspended through electronic tools and they still have not been able to receive confirmation that they have registered for we have already submitted the payment to the

secretariat of the cabinet of ministers of a draft resolution that allows simply by showing the application to act by showing that you registered there . a social security person will be charged these payments from the moment when he applied and they will be paid out also if someone wants to contact people if someone has a disability, the payment is charged as a person with a disability, that is, he did not get a disability certificate if, for example , a mother the funds paid to the children have not been paid, please contact the social security administration or tsnap with the documents you have, they will conduct them. on our broadcast, in particular, we will remind viewers that we are constantly in touch not only with the ministry of social policy and with all other ministries in the plans for 2022, there is an increase in minimum pensions, salaries, a revision of the

living wage, will the government fulfill these obligations is there money for this p oksano and today we live in the regime of a military budget where all expenditures er-e which are of primary importance are military expenditures as long as a payment appears in the treasury from the ministry of defense it is closed as a matter of priority the first, but the payment from our ministry , the ministry of social policy, is second in priority, accordingly, the government takes almost all possible measures in order to close our payment as well. again, i want to emphasize to people that there are delays in payments, especially when it concerns assistance, because treasury accounts, for example if they had funds in their accounts, they directed them to the army and, accordingly, they must collect income to direct them to our

e-e priority - to our program, we are all accruals we make all payments on time, we also submit them on time in accordance with the dates determined by the procedures for the use of funds, but there may be delays with these transfers and, er, treasury nuances from the point of view of the priority of payments, nevertheless , every person who is entitled to a payment will receive it, and i i guarantee this, because the entire government as a mechanism is working on this today. we also interact with international partners who, in particular, help us with social payments, including international funds, grants, loans, i.e. various kinds of financial instruments so that we fulfill our obligations. therefore, everything that is planned for the budgeted in the budget for this year is 90% sure that we will fulfill the increases that are planned and fulfill all our obligations, this is also raising subsistence minimum in december and,

accordingly, the recalculation of the minimum social payments e.e.e. taking into account this 3.2% e.e. increase - this is also the october program that applies to pensioners 70 plus when we introduce another additional payment for such elderly people of 300 hryvnias, this is also the lower the bar is for pensioners who have reached the age of 70 and have full insurance experience, that they receive a pension of no less than three thousand hryvnias. that is, all these planned increases will take place anyway . today, we do not plan to revise or reduce them, because in order to do something with them, it is necessary to make changes to the budget and regulatory acts of such projects are not even considered, we do not discuss them. and how does the pension fund cope with the current workload? of the fund during the war, everything that was modernized

the pension fund today shows excellent results from the point of view of the possibility of administering pension payments and not only pension payments, i can draw attention to several things that help to balance this system normally, for example, they have implemented the so-called principle of extraterritoriality, what is this means regardless of where a person applied for a pension, his application will be processed by that specialist everywhere in ukraine who is free at a particular moment, that is, the applications are transferred externally to the window each specific employee who shows that he has, for example, processed a certain number of applications there and now has free time, this allows us to process applications very quickly, it is very flexible to do this because when we quickly occupied the territories of the south of donetsk and there it was impossible to carry out the work of the pension fund branch then their

work was actually transferred to all other units in ukraine, but people did not feel this because it was possible to flexibly and territorially distribute the load on each employee and this is great a principle that shows a good result, also the level of digitization of the pension fund allows us not to lose documents. for example, unfortunately , where we have payments, for example, payments to children who were born, a one-time benefit. programs and they were worked on there. therefore, the occupation of some part or the disabling of this or that management is at the same time disabled and all the documents that were there and payment information and data about these people and they need to be updated, as in buch, the social security administration was burned down and people could not receive their social benefits for a certain period of time because the information about them was simply lost, they are not centralized in the

pension fund, today everything is on servers in cloud environments, it is centralized about every person has data and we are not afraid that somewhere physically, some control may be damaged , seized or something may happen to it, because information is available about everyone, as well as digitalization of the register of insured persons electronic work books that allow a person to save information about himself for the whole time and then be sure that this information will become the basis for calculating a pension. this is a big breakthrough. moreover, today the pension fund is taking over the functions of, let's say, such a settlement agency because he already pays everything centrally and it is necessary to quickly make centralized accounts, the pension fund pays this, and daily payments of 8,000 and pensioners of 1,000 uah will be paid additionally, this was done because in he had all the necessary tools that allowed him to directly e-e without dropping e-e money in the form of

subsidies at the level of the district oblast to spread all the funds by the bank e and on the cards of the recipients, this reduces the internal processes several times and speeds up the opportunity for people to receive their funds so we have electronic sick leave today, which i think you all know. they have been in operation since march of last year. they are also fully administered through the pension fund. how much is the e-e electronic register, e-e sick leave e-mail? is formed automatically on the basis of the pension fund and its digital capabilities, the basis for this is the electronic sick leave, which is also digitalized from the hospital, is transferred to the same system and is displayed in the private office of the employer 's pension office. the day of a person's illness sees that a person is not absent somewhere and is not on sick leave, that is, he already has

the status that this person has sick leave , moreover, he sees and for how many days is this sick leave is open, that is, he understands how many days this person can theoretically start work, he can already calculate the payment of sick leave because the first five days are paid by the employer, this also greatly speeds up the possibility of obtaining sick leave for a person and the opportunity for an employee to be treated flexibly without these paper sick leaves who is already deprived of this need to go to the hospital, receive his sick leave, carry his physical employer, notify all this is done automatically, but each of the interested of persons, an informed continuous passage, yes, it is possible to evaluate, yes, now there is a way that allows us in times of war to show stability, timeliness of pension payments, flexibility, balancing, regardless of where a pensioner moves, in which part

of the country he is, these payments are received will not pose any problems at all, and also apply for any consultation, advice or other issues that arise, they can extra-territorially, again, regardless of where they are at a specific moment and will have a guarantee that their pension case will always be available to a consultant, then he will be able to review and provide comprehensive answers, this is also a guarantee for our people, and hmm, at the beginning of next year, the draft state budget for the next year will be considered traditionally, will it include the usual annual indexation in recent years in this and other social benefits, because now the national bank is predicting over 30% inflation at the end of the 22nd year, how will this affect the uhm, let's say the indexation of payments next year, is there any understanding now this budgeting process has started, we as a

ministry are forming our budget requests, what does this mean, i.e. we count all our programs, including calculating the actual living wage , i.e. how much has the income of a person increased, how much money does he need in order to survive in order to provide for our priority needs there, and we see growth, we see inflation, this is obvious . well, other social payments have already been calculated, taking into account such a living wage, but only our requests, because the budget, well, it is the interaction of a large number of subjects, including the ministry of finance, other ministries that fill this budget, which also have mandatory expenses that must be carried out respectively. in

the final case, all requests with opportunities will be accepted. today, i don’t know what opportunities we have until the end of eh, because there is such eh information. such data is collected by the ministry of finance and in general the ministry of finance of ukraine also compiles the entire budget with all requests, where after receiving requests from all ministries, they will count and then look at what is the income and start, well, let's start balancing what we can extract, what we can provide, because we can write down a lot of different numbers and programs, but if physically , there is no money in the wallet, then physically you have nothing. well, you will not take out more than there is from it, so even when forming requests, we consider several scenarios, that is, from the most optimistic to, for example, not very optimistic, when there will not be enough funds for us, we will understand that we do not have enough funds for the next year in order to radically raise all payments and raise the living wage, as inflation shows, although this was practically not

done, well, every time, it is not the first year that we understand that in fact, our subsistence minimum does not correspond to what is established by law, because otherwise it will be impossible to balance it, what else is the problem, because the subsistence minimum as a value is tied not only to social assistance for the payment of social benefits, but also for many other payments, this actually tears this so-called balance, 180 different payments are tied to it , and the salaries of certain types of officials are tied to it, and accordingly, as soon as we significantly increase it, the salaries of these people increase many times over this is a huge burden on the budget that they ca n't afford. well, they can't pull it from the budget
