foreclosure on mortgaged property based on a mortgage agreement in the regions is increasingly being prepared before the winter in zhytomyr oblast, the demand for firewood before the winter has increased. but do the foresters convince the drift that there will be enough for everyone, although there is a queue of buyers, but you don't have to wait long, what will they do to heat their homes, people watched our correspondents roman mykolayovych from korostyna buys about 14 cubic meters of firewood every year, sometimes he says a little is left, it all depends on the weather. last year, the owner bought firewood in portions for 10 cubes, he gave about seven thousand hryvnias , this year he says they are not higher. it gives a joke because it is an expensive pleasure and to

bury such firewood, clean alder and aspen, chimneys are good, it is cheaper to buy tables, blocks, and it is quiet cold in turchynetsk forestry, they are telling now people buy 6-7 cubic meters of wood because of the war, the number of people willing to buy firewood has increased by 5 times, the price will be a stable fraction, there will be enough for everyone, there will be enough for everyone , we provide everyone with firewood, the prices have not increased significantly, specifically at the enterprise, it is sold in cubic meters, if you take it, for example, a medium breed then 690 hryvnias per cubic meter of firewood is said to be the biggest demand in forestry for oak and hornbeam, for such they command more than 800 hryvnias per cubic meter in the area of ​​this forestry, the area is almost 2 hectares , sanitary logging is made for fuel and business wood, forest workers choose trees for felling in a certain square, mark them with a special stamp, later the team cuts these trees as

they are already harvested, wood, for example. and with a unique bar code that cannot be faked or repeated nowadays, people cannot go into the forest independently to collect wood, the foresters emphasize that it is dangerous, and when i was bombarding the veseliv warehouse dry ammunition, we a forest burned down, there were meetings and people lying around in the forest, law enforcement officers remind us that administrative and criminal responsibility for illegally felled forest has not disappeared. in 21 years, we had 11 suspicions , the parliament of the court over all the proceedings, that is, in 20 the second year, we have 26 proceedings registered . four suspicions, probably before the judges, three proceedings and one proceeding with an admission of

guilt, martial law did not prevent foresters from growing saplings of dabs and pines, these are still small plants with proper care will eventually become a full-fledged forest yuliya sinelnikova vitaly sinelnikova for the espresso tv channel , let's move from practical issues to more macroeconomic issues with igor buryakovsky to the heads of the institute of economic research and political consultations congratulations mr. igor congratulations today's topic of conversation will be a letter from a group of eight economists from different countries of the world, in particular from ukraine tymofia graduated from the kyiv school of economics and yurii horodnichenko, who works at the university of california, berkeley, and there are also people from different countries who recommended to ukraine to change the economic policy, the advice is related to the actual economic policy during the war, 38 pages, the work was economically published on

the website of the london center for economic research , yes, the implementation of economic policies, what is it about? the budget may reach 22% of gdp, and the inflation forecast is about 30% at the end of the year, the forecast is for the economy to fall by 33%, does the government need to change its economic policy? maybe everything is fine perhaps the government is already doing everything possible under these conditions, i want to say right away that this work is very interesting in the sense that its starting point is the preservation of ukraine as a state, and based on this, in fact, the authors offer, well, how to say, you know variant of the mobilization economy i think this is an absolutely valid idea that we need to talk about today why because on the

one hand we are talking about the war purely about military things, on the other hand we are talking about recovery and indeed, if you look at the current economic situation, the government is already engaged in the correction of economic policy will obviously involve an even greater correction of economic policy, judging by, for example, the statements of the minister of finance, which say that the budget for 2023 will be, well, i would say the military budget, where certain expenses will be reduced, unfortunately on the one hand well, on the other hand, everything will be aimed at helping our armed forces and preserving ukraine precisely as an institution, preserving the ukrainian state well, actually, the budget is one of the tests of this report, economists propose a mixed policy in the borrowed of money, they cite examples of when, for example, in america, stars advertised state government loan bonds or when they simplified the purchase of these bonds so much that money was automatically

deducted from salaries to buy bonds, and they remind us that there were cases in history when people were forced to convert part of their salaries in such debt securities of the state, that is, forced to save, and at the same time they note that the interest rate on such bonds should be market. now we know that it is lower than the level of inflation , in fact, buying such bonds is trading at a loss, yes. which of these tips did you support, and maybe you have your own thoughts on how to fill the budget at the expense of music ? borrowing today plays an extremely large role. well, let's be honest about the fact that ukraine needs approximately 5 billion dollars per month to support our expenses, in fact, to support our state budget system, so in

in this sense, bonds, uh, and foreign support is extremely important, and i would honestly talk about two points, the first is the usual mobilization from domestic sources and what concerns military bonds. this is absolutely correct. in the conditions of the war, that is, what it should be, because hmm, it is clear that there is a high level of uncertainty , including economic, but at the same time, we must also not forget about the help of our foreign partners, and obviously we need to be more active with them work and here, it seems to me, it is necessary to also say that the problem is related to the external enemy , first of all, it is obvious that among the structuring of the external debt, the help to ukraine in delaying the payment of, let's say, the same interest, is absolutely necessary. the second point is this there are also questions related to the speed of providing funds to ukraine, because the traditional

procedures for the allocation of funds by the international monetary fund are very bureaucratic, this bureaucracy is very good for normal, peacetime, but the military has conditions. obviously, all of this must be simplified, and all of this must be implemented very quickly. as a whole, in the complex, this problem is obviously not very simple, but i would say and this is what the authors of this study are talking about. obviously we need an economic rap. isn't this a conference in luhansk where the marshall plan was discussed and where were you actually and you told us about it? and that's exactly what the conference in luhansk started, well, it's basically more about the future. we're

rebuilding our ukraine today, financing our critical current needs and in this sense we need an economic rammstein we need such mechanisms that allow us to very clearly assess ukrainian needs and quickly allocate funds but of course, the expenditure of these funds must also control, it is also proposed to limit the sale of certain goods and it is impossible even to delay payments to veterans, as the american government did during the first world war. it seems to me that a completely unpopular solution would be to delay payments to anyone from the power bloc, especially to veterans. but there is such a proposal and i also understand the logic of why to limit the sale of certain goods, why to reduce consumption, and it seems to me that consumption, on the contrary, stimulates the economy . under the conditions of the war, certain payments are what is financed

from the budget, it must be reviewed and it is clear that the key idea of ​​this review is, first of all , the provision of military expenses, the provision of certain social expenses and the provision of that without which the economy cannot exist, well, obviously, we can not help rebuilding let's say the cities destroyed by the russian bombing, uh, don't rebuild critical infrastructure, help people. well, it's absolutely clear that it concerns veterans. and as for the military directly, i think here the question cannot be asked at all, however, whether to limit or not limit these people must be supported and this stimulation is, in fact, uh, absolutely necessary, it is clear that you cannot ask the question of limiting aid, for example, to internally displaced persons, that is why i think that this social bloc can of course be adjusted, in principle, there are several areas of spending funds that simply cannot be refused, as for other issues of

limiting certain products, well, obviously, we are talking about, you know, we would say military the mobilization economy when it is just certain products or there is no force of certain causal factors, we cannot uh well, maybe the language was small, but it is also possible that the authors also had in mind, say, certain imported goods on which currency is spent, and here obviously you have to really look at what in the first in the next plan, we spend our foreign exchange earnings from our international partners. well, let's say from paying the same taxes and exporters, but again, i would just say here that these are general tips, this is actually a model mobilization economy, but in each specific case, we will have to make very difficult and very, i would say, ambiguous decisions, well, let's go to a more specific one, which authors write that taxes should be raised and advise, for example, to raise tax rates, excise duties, including taxes on

imports and fees, or even introduce additional military deduction for high incomes and introduce higher taxes on luxury items, i.e. actually introduce such a progressive rate hmm at the same time we know what the government is proposing and zelensky in the office is proposing to do the opposite that is, to reduce taxes actually go in two different directions, the advice and the real real actions of our government are to increase or decrease. well, it seems to me that this is the dilemma, yes, or it is not quite correct. i think that there must obviously be some kind of combined approach, and it is obvious that today we must give ourselves a clear account of the fact that, after the war , a large number of various benefits were introduced, including for business, and we are talking about the

postponement of certain payments revision of the tax system, it is obvious that it is now necessary to quickly analyze all this and see what it is obviously necessary to abandon in view of the new conditions of the data, what should be preserved, therefore, to be honest, i would not conduct a discussion right now, you know, in terms of let's increase it or let's decrease it, we need to look at specific cases, we need to look at specific enterprises should be looked at which lists according to our specific circumstances, but the fact that today we have to mobilize all possible and impossible funds in order to save the country for me is absolutely unambiguously, if we are talking about, let's say, a luxury item, if we are talking about certain other income options that we are not talking about today, then it is clear that they must be used and must be used. all of these luxury items were passed, then they buy on credit and break down the payments into small amounts. if they introduce some kind of progressive income rates, then they simply transfer salaries to different, again yura, natural

persons, and all this money still goes to the economy . i wanted to say that today, in military conditions, we see all our problems related to tax administration, and this is really just a big problem. and this is just a problem for the government, how to make it so that having the state that we have to directly ensure the implementation of all these of these plans but is it possible not to carry them out, talking about what, by the way, this is what the authors of the report are talking about, given the level of corruption, the low level of institutions of courage. i think that this question is completely rhetorical. we must to move along this path, we must move along the path. let's be honest about the mobilization of our respective efforts, and this is simply an expensive date from which we simply cannot turn away, because it seems to me that these are the options for mobilization - this is what awaits us and... again, this is not related to the fact that we want to hurt someone and cause

some big problems. these are the very real circumstances in which ukraine is today, it hurts, it is not popular, but unfortunately, it must be done before the increase in taxes, well at least already about excise taxes on fuel hmm, the deputies did not vote, but today the ministry of the ministry of economy raised this topic again and emphasized that during the increase of excise taxes on fuel, the cost of fuel in retail networks will not increase due to the fact that its actual cost is now falling, and the cost of oil falls well, the mini bloc is falling. it no longer concerns the work of the government in these regulations , but the work of the national bank of ukraine, and here economists advise to abandon the fixed exchange rate of the dollar or the hryvnia to the dollar peg hryvnias to the dollar and what does this mean for the consumer , that is, the exchange rate will not be 40, but 50, 60, or what will happen from the game, that the

idea is very simple, what is the exchange rate of any currency - it is a demand offer for how much we want to buy for how much we are ready to sell if ukraine receives little foreign currency, yes. but nevertheless, we have certain foreign exchange expenses, including those related to the defense of the country. and, of course, certain restrictions are introduced in order to be able to have dollars and spend them accordingly, i want to say once again to support the country's defense capability in this the logic is just like that i would say controlled swimming i am not sure that today we can completely release the course and again it is the idea of ​​the authors because look if there is not enough money and but someone wants to buy something well then let's let go of the dollar let them pay for the dollar as much as they can with with all the relevant consequences. well, it is clear that at the same time they propose to very strictly limit the outflow of money from the country, in particular, to demand from exporters to sell half of the foreign exchange earnings and return them within 120 days, and on

180 days is this money and importers should be prohibited from using prepayment for large amounts and limit cash withdrawals abroad for citizens even more . that we had both 50% and 100%, you had problems related to the limitation of the duration of payment of impo contracts and so on, i think that under certain conditions, again, it is necessary to say so in our specific conditions, such restrictions can be introduced, and we understand very well that the introduction of restrictions requires a very strong government year here. i absolutely agree with everyone, on the one hand. we are introducing restrictions. we

must clearly understand for what period of time these are all restrictions, but they may be, mr. igor, thank you very much for your comment on the rationale and this work, ihor burakovsky and the head of the institute of economic of research and political consultations, i am the andriyani tv channel espresso, did you watch the economic news during the war, we air on weekdays at 8 o'clock live, repeat at 11:00 p.m. and when it's convenient for you, you can also find us on youtube together, we will win, see this week's judicial control program rejuvenating procedures of volodymyr severin, as a member of the ethical council, postponed his retirement, admitted that he was born later. in this way, he tried to extend his tenure as a judge according to

thursday at 1:00 p.m. repeat at 9:30 p.m. some creatures wonder about the toilet in the house and we from ukraine can insure cars even if you are in the toilet hotline finance insurance of course online we continue the live broadcast of the espresso tv channel thank you for choosing us my name is khrystyna yatskiv. let's give a little more information about kharkov, where there were rocket attacks from the occupiers yesterday evening and this morning. at the moment, 18 are injured, two of them are children. one person died as a result of an attack by the russian federation in kharkiv this morning. this was reported by the mayor of kharkiv, igor terekhov, and the

head of the kharkiv ova, oleksiynigubov, as of 7-16. synogubov said that after the russian occupiers hit a hostel in the slobid district, there are currently 18 councilors, two children and one person have died. the much-suffering area of ​​the city of kharkiv where the hit took place, the russians, as always, say that the location of the armed forces of ukraine, but as we know that the attacks are still carried out exclusively on objects of civil infrastructure and in simply residential areas , there is also information from the operational command of the south and the traditional one. i consider it necessary to provide you. since we are already a little used to the notification of the destruction of warehouses with ammunition e-e in the occupiers, the

aviation of the armed forces of ukraine penetrated deeply during august 17 attacked the targets of the russian army in the area of ​​novovoznesenskyi and oleksandrivka, as well as the defenders liquidated the ammunition supply depot in belozorka. we continue to talk about the most important thing. i will remind you that today in lviv the un secretary general antonio guterres , the president of turkey, rajep and its party members , the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, are to meet, and in fact , all this is happening against the background of the special military operation that turkey has launched in syria against the kursk state formations, will the special operation become a different stone in the relations between the turkish president and the russian president, vladimir putin since russia in recent years considers the situation in syria to be its personal achievements and has actively participated in the formation of the corresponding the situation as of today, uh, we

will add vitaliy yarmolenko , the chief consultant of the national institute of strategic studies, to our broadcast, vitaliy. congratulations to you. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. what about turkey and the special operation? according to the syrian human rights group, turkey launched airstrikes on the syrian border post as a result of this shelling. then 11 people died, and human rights activists at the same time do not specify with whom are these deaths connected with the regime of the president of the basharasad series or with the kurdish forces and the special operation of turkey in syria, as we understand, what is happening there now continues, and mr. vitaly, in your opinion, how can this directly or indirectly affect the situation in our country, well, now we ask we see

that turkey is ready for active actions in the north of the series, in particular against the kurdish forces, which it connects directly from the workers' party to the party of kurdistan, which is considered terrorist in turkey, so let's say the first steps regarding the probable expansion of the so -called security zone, which turkey began to form in 2016 , and if it comes to the ground part of this operation, then probably, let's say, these groups will be pushed out of most of the territory, how will it

affect ukraine? well, here we must say that in in general, this syrian issue for turkey is a fundamental issue, let's say, more fundamental than the ukrainian issue, and turkish-russian relations naturally come into play here, in fact, against this background, the meeting on august 5 between erdoğan putin's fifth in sochi, it was key because the strikes of the turkish drone on the objects of the forces of the syrian position in the north actually took place. after this meeting, in the joint statement of the rpg

and putin , it was also stated that both sides -e support the fight against any terrorist organizations in the territory of the series. well, after that, a tripartite meeting was actually announced in lviv, which should take place today, and here we see that probably somewhere behind the scenes, it was still agreed that the turkish president, let's say if if not directly then at least indirectly could determine, let's say, the possibility of expanding this format

around the so-called grain agreement on the issue of further possible negotiations on reaching a truce or, let's say, some certain status on e-e in the context of the current option of russia against ukraine. please tell mr. vitaliy chi can we beware of the fact that after the meeting in sochi, in essence, erdoğan may bring to lviv options for the development of events that ukraine can accept , and let's put it this way, it may be partially frozen we have such risks, moreover, let's say their rhetoric, the representatives of the

aggressor state and russia quite often emphasize that , or rather, they consider, for example, any potential mediation as an opportunity to put pressure on ukraine to fulfill certain conditions, that is, probably, let's say, the russian leadership is counting on that that erdoğan, having a certain authority, let's say in ukraine, among the political leadership in the political leadership of ukraine, has the opportunity or has certain mechanisms to put pressure on
