group a-95, fuel market expert, congratulations. and you, mr. serhiy, congratulations, let's discuss the fact that the government submitted to the verkhovna rada a bill on the abolition of preferential taxation on fuel and proposes to restore the excise tax so that from the additional 2-3 billion uah every month, the budgets would go to the budgets. how will this change the situation? on the fuel market, and most importantly on e-e price tags, mr. sergey well, actually, first of all, it should be reminded that in march excise duties were canceled e-e completely e-e on gasoline, diesel liquefied gas , the vat rate was reduced from 20% to seven, and then in in march, when the price of oil was $140 per barrel, well , it was a very, very serious support for the consumer, because the tax prices in the walls amounted to uah 10-12, and that was how much it was possible to keep them on the columns, that is, to reduce them by this

money today, the price of oil is $90, $92 per barrel, and here the state is already, the logic is that we helped you in a difficult moment, then in march, now the state is forced to turn to consumers again in order to restore at least partially taxation since the situation with state everyone knows well that's why i think that everything seems to be logical and accordingly now why is this happening now because now is a very good time for this because the price is falling accordingly the purchase price is falling and the addition of the tax will simply go unnoticed for the consumer because there will be no increase in speaker prices well, if the government plans to attract an additional two or three billion to the budget, then someone will pay these additional

two or three billion, who will pay if you you say that gas station prices will not change and why they do not change only due to the fact that the price of oil is falling. and if tomorrow it rises , on the contrary, the price of oil and excise taxes will already be introduced, that is, your forecast about the dynamics of prices at gas stations, well, these two three billion for them, fuel will become cheaper in procurement, that is, the tax will appear, but in procurement, it will disappear , and accordingly, simply replace one component of the price with another, as for further events. of course, it cannot be ruled out that the price of oil will increase. but again, it is necessary to understand that fuel taxes are a very powerful channel for replenishing state budgets throughout europe, and now we see that due to high oil prices, other governments are also resorting to supporting their consumers, the polish government has reduced the vat excise tax at the beginning of the

year, even before the war in january, now the governments of france and germany are providing subsidies to consumers of oil products in order to lower prices a little, so basically the same thing happened in our country. yes, that is, the government helped in a difficult moment. they expire and the taxes are renewed accordingly. but again, uh, uah 4 per liter offered by the government at current prices is 8% of the price of a column for diesel and gasoline. that is, i don't think that this is a high tax before the war, taxes on gasoline reached 45%. what do you think about this, mykhailo gonchar, or will i add something significantly more than what serhiy said? they completely share this approach . of course, the situation can change and on

the market itself, it will definitely change, but of course when these or other are introduced benefits that you have to understand that they don't always prepare, although , if we often have consumer conflicts somewhere, it would be nice if natalie or someone else pays something. of course, when we are now largely dependent on foreign financial aid every hryvnia in the budget has a writing value, therefore, of course , from the point of view there, let's say these additional few billions for the purpose of our needs, tens and hundreds of billions are needed, especially taking into account our military expenses. well, it seems like a small thing, but it's important, it's important, everything that went down is bought because one way or another, it's the budget payments to those who are employed, who are living. well, directly, the budget official has to take money from somewhere else, so if i think that it's

absolutely normal, i'll just ask this question again, i'll respond that oil is good now. it has become cheaper now tomorrow it will become more expensive the day after tomorrow and we will simply pay out of our pockets for these excise taxes to increase budget revenues. i do not know. i personally already have a car for several months, four months, it is already standing food on the trolleybus is expensive for me. sorry , gasoline is 52. now they will refund the excise tax. oil is more expensive . gasoline will be 65. well, for sure, and then all products will become more expensive. food, because logistics is more expensive, you understand. and we will also pay extra, well , this is simulating the situation. maybe god forbid that this will not happen, but i i just think that if excise taxes are returned now, no one will cancel them, not even if oil is at $150. take away my forecast. look, you can model anything. of course, you can imagine that tomorrow, the yemeni oil reserves will be diluted again by the saudi oil terminals and processing

facilities, five percent of oil will drop from the world circulation, and so to speak, skripnev oil will go up to $150 or higher, as you said, and again , one way or another, it will be short-term violins, one way or another, the oil market is always volatile. tomorrow, too, the price will be half a dollar higher, the day after tomorrow, 20 cents lower, and therefore, of course, if things like a jump happen, the government will react in the same way, and not only the government of ukraine, any other government, we also see that it was basically the same in european countries, so we, in principle, taking into account the fact that if recently she worked for us, let her satisfy our needs there by 20%, but nevertheless she was especially in that as for gasoline, now we will get everything from europe through europe. in fact, one way or

another, we will repeat the trajectory of what they are doing. what is happening on the market of petroleum products in europe ? preparation for the heating season, the government declares 73% of ukraine's readiness for the heating season. what are your thoughts, let's take turns, mr. sergey, you know. well , i just have to admit that i am not a specialist in heating seasons, mr. mykhailo, he is a specialist in a different way. i will ask you questions about fuels, any the question is ready, another question, then i will ask, i understand, many mayors of the city of kyiv and the city of lviv and other cities are calling on citizens to buy electrical appliances, to buy stoves, to sign up

for firewood, to sign up for dry alcohol, we are already suzhev there are even useful tips to put some kind of heat reflectors behind the batteries. you are somehow personally preparing for the heating season in the sense that the heating and hot water may disappear and you will be warmed by firewood . in georgia, they put chimneys in the apartments, cut a hole with a cutter, put this chimney out there, and in principle, mark, it was so warm, did you somehow prepare or not? well, i have n’t had time yet. by the way, i really liked the video of the mayor of lviv popular and about dry alcohol and about firewood there and about everything i think that these are very valid things and you know there are no unique recipes here we are all in the same boat as they say as they say and accordingly insulate the windows and the rest of some life hacks they should have done it a

long time ago, so i don't think that there is any unique experience here, we are definitely thinking about it, and well, but, but, what do you come up with here, what are we all in the same conditions, yes , that is, we also have gas, there is electricity, there will be no gas, there will be electricity, if there is no electricity, well, it will be great it's difficult, ms. valevska says. she buys firewood for her parents and says that today you pay for the second one, but they bring it only a month later. can you imagine the kind of firewood business going on? and how did it not happen? well, somehow it will be like that, and you will be burning firewood with coal or maybe dry alcohol please , look at the firewood, yes, i have been talking about this for a long time. by the way, i will tell you a little interesting thing in short. i somehow contacted my old slovak friend recently and asked him, in view of the possibility of a gas shortage in europe, what he had prepared in stock

firewood for what i received an interesting answer since 2009, i do it every year in 2009 there was a known gas crisis, and so to speak, it became a habit that you need to be insured against surprises from russia therefore, this is the main problem, of course there is no universal recipe well, i doubt it what for a high-rise building in kyiv, there is an apartment on the 20th or 25th floor, which i am a bourgeois how will you deliver firewood, it is better to go somewhere in the village there and spend the winter there, the germans do as they also rent housing in the south of the southern countries for the winter, because it will be cheaper than buying firewood there or a small house. relatively speaking, i saw georgia in the 90s in tbilisi with my own eyes. it is certainly terrifying when there is no light, water, heat

, or electricity. the god of terrorist attacks with rockets on our test there on producers of electricity and heat, are we ready or not, how far does the report coincide with the reality of the government, which says that the readiness is 73%. pha well, it's difficult for me to say 73% or 75 1/2 or 52 to be honest, if i don't undertake to evaluate for predictions here eh, your analytics mykhailo gonchar, president of the center for global studies, strategy 21, an expert on energy issues, and serhiy kuyun, the director of the a-95 consulting group, the fuel market, joined his profile. we have such experts. andrei, we welcome you. i am an expert

in the aerospace industry. i am now a former freelance adviser to the head of the state commissariat. we wanted to ask you about yesterday's news. that prytula bought a space satellite at the expense of volunteers, it was supposed to be the people's director at the beginning, then there, uh, something changed plans, and yesterday there was a satellite, and many space experts began to write in quotes about the fact that it is impossible to buy a satellite. someone writes no, it is not possible. please explain to us in principle, you can buy a satellite in principle buy a satellite maybe, but for this you need to of course, it should be done at the corner when it is produced and launched under its own flag to date, all satellites of e-e company of finland, they are produced and launched under the flag of finland, registered in the register of the united nations that one of the satellites is purchased

by this finnish company. in addition to the fact that we purchased the resources of one satellite that will work only for us. we also got access to e-e data of other satellites that were part of the satellite group. thus, if when the satellite on e-e as resources that we bought will not be located on the territory of ukraine, but there will be satellites and others are his group , so we can also use images from these other satellites. uah 600 million is not a small amount and we

know that they provide us this information from satellites, british american intelligence, why can't we use them or why was it important? well, let's start with the walls first, if you don't mind, ms. valevska , ms. that's how i understand satellites for one year for 16 million dollars is this an adequate price for a photo from satellites 640 million uah is 16 million dollars we can still correctly divide 600 mm 16 million dollars is this an adequate price in general in your opinion a-a before war we also bought space pictures for the needs of our country for various structures of departments, but then there was no war. and now we have a front line not 1,000 km away. therefore, the number of pictures that we have to get will be much more than the number that the kumasi bought before the war and of course

it is necessary to spend money on such a large number of ingots , that is, as regards the price itself and the possibility of these satellites. that is, it is also worth saying that earlier we purchased satellites before the war with the majority of these optical satellites, while radar satellite images were always much more expensive than optical ones, and taking into account these two factors, e.g., the increase in the need for the number of satellites and e.e., the purchase of images with more expensive technology than we are ready for war, we can say that it is necessary, i really adequate and now the state bought it, the state bought it, there was a state program and a passport of the state program, which was published on the website of the state space agency, showing how many

images we buy and which ones i miss. and what hanna asked, which i am sorry, i interrupted the question, but we used to be really, well, novofedorivka the results of the bombing of the airfield, we received these photographs free of charge from our partners from the americans from the british, in principle , their satellites are in orbit and we theoretically have access, at least they give it to us for free, absolutely what new can we get for these 16 million dollars collected by ukrainians, yes, indeed, for the country, we receive pictures of these satellites from our e-e partners, but those satellites are not free at all, and these pictures of their e- the cost is paid by the governments as part of the military aid to ukraine and having information from a large number of american and other european partners' satellites, of course

these data are useful to us, but they are more relevant of the optical range, that is, optical satellites in general, up to 200 satellites currently operate in ukraine, in this matter, of these two hundred satellites, there are also several dozen radar satellites, but they provide information of a higher quality than what we will receive now from the satellite of the finnish group e it is very important for us to have direct access, first of all, to this data, in this case we have to have direct access, while it is within the framework of the help that we are currently receiving, which for it is free of charge, we do not receive these changes 100%, and in the direction, there is now some delay, but here we can take and process independently, mr. andriia well , and about our satellite, our heroic satellite

ukrainian sich 2, which was launched in january of this year, we showed this launch we were very proud of this satellite, we spent 10 million ukrainian dollars on it, if i'm not mistaken, correct me. well, it means american dollars earned by ukrainian taxpayers, and this satellite, which turns out to be unsuitable for photography why is the resolution of the sich photo two to 10 times worse than that of analogues that, in principle , fly next to it in near-earth orbits? wartime, another program is needed here, it is necessary to separate the civil space program from the military space program , the defense space program needs to be developed

separately, the means must be developed separately, including of space intelligence and then we will have satellites from such and such a spatial intelligence, what kind of intelligence are we currently getting with him, which ones are we getting now, and of course i hope that when all the steps that were taken before the war during the war will be analyzed, they will be analyzed therefore, we will enter a different paradigm for the creation of our space technology, and it will also have a hybrid nature, which is currently used all over the world, that is, in addition to military satellites with very good characteristics, information is also used from commercial satellites and we will uh, i think the idea is to develop our own 1-2 military satellites and also use information from ukrainian commercial satellites, for example we have a well-known ukrainian businessman

max polyakov, whom serhiy prytula mentioned during the presentation of the purchase e resources of the village satellite, which is also currently developing its radar-type satellites and in a year or two has to launch them into space and use them. unfortunately, max is scared in ukraine seems alive well, but at least ukraine, yes, by the way, he was born in zaporizhzhia, and the land is andrii a, please tell me a few months ago that the budget design tests that were supposed to be completed within a month from the moment of the launch of the satellite through the full-scale creation of the russian federation of ukraine were not completed, and while they are still in this status, there is no point in talking about his life, it is interesting. thank you andriy kolesnyk, an expert in the aerospace industry, a former freelance consultant head of the state space agency well, unfortunately, this industry is one

of those that we have talked about many times on our broadcasts, that we need to develop this space and , unfortunately, we did not finance it. and if that battalion of monaco did not take its money from monaco . precisely in the space industry from the scientific industry, we would now be completely differently prepared for war, it is true, but we do not elect representatives of the monaco battalion in the elections and then everything will be fine about photos from space and not only from space, we will talk further what do you think with who are with the professional photographers, because today what are the photos with which we congratulate you all kostiantyn liberov is in touch with us kostiantyn congratulations and it seems they are with his wife so yes and vlada liborova congratulations we congratulate you on the holiday so we were told secretly what are you the photographers that you have on your instagram show exactly the pictures of the war, in particular nikopol, what does bakhmut look like, they will

now show us these photos from your instagram, because i have not been there yet, i will go now and subscribe and advise everyone to do it ukrainian photographers kostyantyn and vlada of liberovo, which show ukrainian cities in a state of war. how did you start photographing these? please tell us how you came to this idea, what does it mean for you? oh, before the war, we used to shoot with others, we shot love. but it so happened that when we had already started full-scale invasion allowed by law or prohibited for now so far prohibited by law and when the war started, we did not feel the internal resources to continue what we were doing and we began to remove all the front lines on the tatar bases, so far we were well, almost i didn’t see the entire front line, only in sumy . for some reason, it’s the hottest to the point of the country. we

were there filming everywhere. i have not forgotten about the war in ukraine, as it was in the 14th year, and how popular these holy eyes are - this content is among instagram content, because i am not a very big user . to like but it is the war as far as the public perceives it on instagram, but in fact, who, where, that is, several parts of ukraine are already forgetting. we have a war going on, unfortunately, this is happening in our country, and what about the community is more from this world, we are trying to make filming the war beautiful as it may sound wild, but let's not forget about the war, in any case, they have such content, that's why we are gradually moving to twitter, we were advised that it is

more loyal because today the algorithm on instagram is arranged in such a way that connected with the war, he is either banned or er gets caught, well, he does not get enough er views, unfortunately er, but we try to make sure that this does not happen and, in principle, we can be proud of the fact that our photos get enough reporters. that is, we can say that many people in our country talk about the war thanks to and through our photos. and in general , the moment of censorship on the internet, you mentioned instagram . well, several times already at the beginning of the war, i received from the bank simply for publishing those photos that are circulating on the official means of information communication, informational state channels, for example, there are the facts of the shootings in buch, so i just posted this

photo and got banned there for two months. how do you feel ? it is this pressure of censorship, or world censorship, that we cannot fully show what is happening here, because the people who control these means of communication, they do not want to see it by their own rules and set restrictions for that so that other people don't see such similar photos as the reality of the conditions, well, you understand, it's like that, and it's more like that. well, it's a bad situation, because we understand that the reality of ukraine today for a-and for the world is what we call meaning in content, that is, uh, and it's strange because it's it's it's hypocrisy in my opinion because we live in it and we want to talk about it we have to talk about it so that they help us so that the world can see what's happening now a true picture but they don't give us its er show those people that we could but we we find a way out of this, we shoot the war in

an artistic way. that is, we do not show with bodies, we do not show atrocities. we somehow focus on some moments , but still, we always look for some kind of dangerous situations during filming. we communicate very well, we prepare, they don’t know us, they love us, but regarding dangerous situations, we constantly travel to the front lines. that is, we constantly play with shelling. we spend the night where a rocket can fly. that is, we know what war is. in fact, we shoot it and we broadcast it. well, as robert said, if your photos are not good enough, then you are not getting close enough. we are trying to get close enough to fairly and emotionally show what is happening on the front line so that these photos can reach as many people as possible. do the two of you work together, or is there someone else in the team, the two of you just take

and drive the closest to hell to show the whole world people in general, well, the main thing in photos is always people, their emotions are not only there, uh, destruction there are injuries, how do people react, after all, when there are times of trouble, wars and personal tragedies, they are filmed because well, for sure, not everyone likes it, not everyone likes it . we simply don't exist, they don't notice us and they don't notice us, and someone on the contrary is very negative, that is, everything is very different, but we found someone who bypasses this system a little because we are not journalists in the classical sense of the word, we work regardless of who and in this sense we are in we have a rule: we never go anywhere empty-handed, we always bring some kind of humanitarian aid . that is, we combine this with volunteer

work, regardless of whether we go to the military or to civilians, who all need something in hot spots. we try to do something about it . and in this way, it’s easier because you show people that you don’t ask, that you don’t care. who helps you to organize financially, you just do it at your own expense, you do it at your own expense and at the expense of the dynasties, our audience us supports and er, sometimes we are up to 12 years ago , all these trips to russia, they cost a lot of gasoline , at least tell me the feeling of war and personal , and in the photos of ukrainian photographers, ukrainian photo-documentaries, i would also call foreigners that way. surely you see their work and do you see the results of their work, are they similar or different, after all, stranger’s war is stranger’s war, its own war is perceived in a completely different way, and well, accordingly, it lies there on the photo on the photo of the

photo in a different way, is there a difference in this or not, please in different ways, of course, there is a difference, including in the same approach, because when, for example, journalists like new yorktime from major publications come to us, they are very cool photographers, but they are bound by so-called ethics, they cannot accept participation in the process. for example, we we helped to evacuate people in the village of daru, and we literally put people in their cars. we tried to convince them to drive because, well, it's strange, but the shelling is terrible, but people don't want to go. with your life, including for someone to get into your car and drive away from that hell. for us, we are trying to find a balance between helping people and a good picture

. in the first place, it is the photo itself, the lighting and making a good shot is bad. it’s just that, that’s it, that’s it, they’re professionals at their jobs and it’s very cool what what yes but we can afford to do it a little bit differently because it really hurts us a lot happening thank you for your work and once again congratulations on the holiday of constantine and the liberov government ukrainian photographers who record the war ukrainian cities after what russia did to them go subscribe to the liberov government and konstantin because they do it as volunteers
