and supermarkets regarding the issue of cash to residents at cash registers olena symonenko, adviser to the deputy head of the office of the president of ukraine, together with me tonight, i congratulate you good evening, ms. olena, if we are talking about the restoration of the establishment of normal life in the liberated territories, which are primarily humanitarian problems in the townspeople, in principle, only that uh, our head, the deputy head of the office, mr. tymoshenko told what he did , the recovery process is going on, and i understood that if we have more than 450 occupied places today of populated areas only in 13-17, the work of the police has been resumed, the work of pharmacies has been resumed, and so on, so we understand that there are more than 400 populated areas today, well, in fact, the situation is, well, a crisis, a crisis, yes, because the points of medical assistance are not working, in fact,

the points are not working provision of social assistance and so on and so on, the key e-e helpers for us today in this territory are in fact the unit of the state emergency service of the police who create humanitarian headquarters that provide the first aid needed by the victims in these on the one hand, on the other hand, the residents of the territories are given physical humanitarian aid every day by other regions, which they previously received for themselves, because what is coming to ukraine today, including kharkiv, is not enough to provide today with everything necessary only in the territories that have been liberated from occupation now, that is, it’s warm, it’s warm blankets, it’s heaters, it’s just warm things that are handed over today, children, adults, and so on. i know for sure that, for example, tomorrow, a whole car of heat will leave there the blankets that are already there the day after tomorrow will be in kharkiv and will be distributed to people who, as

of today, have actually been left without homes and can not stay already in the cold weather. there are no windows and roofs, and in fact, today, most of them are housed if they do not want to leave the territory of the kharkiv region, they simply settle in the territory of the kharkiv region, for example, in the dormitories of institutions of higher education, which, according to the resolution of the cabinet of ministers, are allowed to be used specifically for accommodation in the kharkiv region displaced persons of the kharkiv region itself, i.e., places are simply being arranged so that houses with minor damage can be repaired while people can stay there for a week 2:3 eh, this is what concerns clothes, clothes, uh, and so on and so on, as for hygiene products, so on hygiene products are transferred themselves, and there was such a program and hygiene products purchased with state funds, which are transferred by humanitarian

organizations, unicef, and so on, are also transferred today to the kharkiv region, where purchased by kherson oblast, etc. and so on, i can say that in fact, as of today, the number of aid citizens sent to ukraine has almost halved. what is this possibly related to the fact that our western colleagues who help us have already become a little bit there? it is because a large number of ukrainians are currently abroad and they are forced to help our citizens abroad . in the part of food products and in the part of hygiene products and in the part of special e-e means for heating i mean now a generator, heat generators and so on. negotiations are underway between the ministry of foreign affairs, our embassies, departments abroad,

international projects, but i want to say as of today that, unfortunately, most citizens of the aid that reaches ukraine still falls into the hands of the military regional administrations, which could distribute it to the people, but instead falls directly in the international religious humanitarian organizations that do not always direct this maidan aid directly to those territories where it is now needed eh, this is a separate work that should be carried out in my opinion by the ministry of foreign affairs regarding interaction with international projects and programs in order to direct where these are most needed aid to the regions, well, there is a situation where today in the ternopil lviv region, the chernivtsi region, humanitarian aid is being sent, which is not enough there. it is necessary, yes and the territory that today desperately needs help, today there is a lack of it, there were situations when mrs. varishchuk directly called the leadership of poland there, and in this way,

trains with food products were sent there and ukraine to kharkiv to zaporizhzhia. but that was quite a long time ago and today, this is a problem for us, since the situation is simpler there, when simply ready-made food kits could be sent to ukraine according to this and that procedure, those humanitarian kits are actually enough there families for 2-3 weeks, but the last time we received these kits were from germany, and it was quite a long time ago, it must have been almost two months there, that is, in fact, i think that we need to strengthen cooperation with international partners regarding the support of ukraine, today is a new period in the autumn period regarding humanitarian aid, tell me how the decision is made, for example, such settlements where they are destroyed by 80%. it is not just about

critical infrastructure, but in principle about all houses and this is how decisions are made. there will be to restore the infrastructure there will be restored power grids is it still more expedient to evacuate people see the thing is that in each individual case it is necessary to carry out an inspection, but i want a quick inspection of objects and residential infrastructure, social infrastructure and housing and communal services objects regarding the possibility of their restoration because if the load-bearing structures are destroyed, it is simply physically impossible to restore the objects quickly, because it is simply dangerous for life, therefore we have a clear algorithm that determines those objects in which it is possible to carry out so-called repair works that do not involve changing the load-bearing structures and so on, i.e. replacement of windows, replacement of the roof, etc., repair of facades, etc., doors,

etc. these works and in fact there in the kharkiv region literally 5-7 days after the release of the points themselves, the leadership of the region sent to the cabinet of ministers the need for construction materials and what needs to be purchased for the repair in fact of the destroyed infrastructure when we are talking about the infrastructure that is destroyed there by more than 35-40%, that is, the restoration needs, well, in fact, reconstruction from the very beginning, then it is clear that those works cannot last there two three four weeks months two three that is, it is necessary - to do everything actually first actually somewhere make new projects and so on and so on. that is, it is six months to a year there, and that is why we understand that we have a large number of people who, as of today, are left without housing, not because the territory is occupied, but because

physically destroyed housing there by more than 40%, which requires the restoration of this housing for more than six months, yes, in fact, we are talking about the fact that today, out of 86,000 destroyed objects, more than 60,000 are residential buildings, of which approximately 20% are residential buildings are destroyed, so they cannot be restored. that is, we understand that there are millions of people who are left without housing, who are currently located abroad, some live independently, some are guaranteed apartments , some are in places created by the state by the power of the local government, the regional government, i am now referring to sanatoriums, preventive schools, schools that are adapted for the residence of temporarily displaced persons, but that is all, well, in fact, it is difficult for me to say that in such conditions people will be able to live for a year until this housing is restored, so we have a

really big problem with this the problem is, moreover, as of today, the state has allocated several billion hryvnias for the restoration of infrastructure to the full territories, and i will now say about the pre- territory in april, and this is how i already spoke about the repair and not about the restoration of those houses that were destroyed a while ago. well, as of today, negotiations with international partners are underway regarding support for the restoration. of this money in order to say that this is recovery and, well, we are standing still, i can say about it, uh, it was proposed to create a fund for the recovery of ukraine, to which money should be sent to international partners for that in order to carry out e-e recovery in ukraine, this bill has been developed and we expect it to be submitted to the verkhovna rada as an urgent

matter for the president, but these are all plans for now, and physically we really do not have enough funds in the country to ensure a full-fledged demolition of the destroyed infrastructure, including housing information about how to rebuild ukraine, in particular, frozen russian assets there. we will continue to talk about it on the air. of the president of ukraine joined this night broadcast. last week, the team of the ukrainian government , together with the first lady olena zelenskyi, worked in great britain and the united states to strengthen the pro-ukrainian coalition, prime minister denys myhal announced this at the cabinet meeting. in total, about 50 international meetings were held, most on the sidelines of the un general assembly, in particular, they discussed the safety of ukrainian nuclear power plants , financial support for ukraine, the confiscation of russian assets and the continuation of the grain initiative. russian war criminals will be punished in relation to the

punishment of russia for its crimes, of course it should be not only economic but also financial, all russian war criminals, including the top leadership, must bear responsibility, we will not stop until all these people are on the dock of the international tribunal, the issue of creating such we violated the tribunal in conversations with the prime ministers of canada, new zealand and japan, we discussed with the president of latvia that the whole world should know about russian crimes in parallel with the confiscation of russia's assets and the punishment of its war crimes. we also advocate further strengthening of sanctions. oleg kostenko, adviser to the president of ukraine on economic issues, joins the broadcast. i congratulate you today. denys myhal said that 500 billion dollars is exactly the amount of frozen russian assets that our western partners have, but here a certain legal conflict arises because we

perfectly understand that it is one thing to freeze assets and another thing to dispose of them and it is necessary to change the right holder, how is this process possible as we how can ukraine get this money for the reconstruction of its er well, indeed, there are 350 billion dollars, this is approximately the amount that was er in the assets of the center of the bank of the russian federation, which was and is located outside of russia, it has already been imposed on it seizure of frozen funds, there is an additional amount of about 150 billion dollars. these are the funds that belong to the immediate environment, what is called the nomenclature in russia, they took these funds out of russia during the 10th anniversary of eh and eh together this gives an amount of approximately e half a trillion e -e dollars - this

a gigantic amount if even compared to our gross domestic product. however, approximately 2.5 of our annual gross domestic products, but in general. if we talk about the amount of losses that we bear as a result of this war, from the point of view of finances, then it takes about one trillion dollars if we take into account direct and indirect losses that we received as a result of the war and the prime minister is absolutely right when he says that all this amount should be compensated, but if one trillion is knocked down by 500 a 1.5 $, that is what is now frozen, it still remains under a trillion which will have to be received from russia for a long period of time in order to fully compensate for our losses, and you are right when you say that it is one thing to simply freeze these funds and another thing is to be able to use them precisely on

this occasion, and a large group of our ukrainian and global specialists who are engaged in this very matter, and we are much closer to this goal, to the possibility of starting to use these funds for the reconstruction of ukraine than it seems, the technical work is going on and it is exactly to comment on the air, but i just assure you that this is a work and an idea, and we will see the results quickly enough, it is not a prospect of one or two weeks or even months, but it is also true that we have the funds for reconstruction at the first stage, if necessary from our allies. if we talk about these frozen funds, then the fastest way to

use them is, let's say, even the issue of bonds against these frozen funds, then the funds can be raised, the funds from the issuance of these debt loans can be immediately raised. to be used later but there are various options , technical consultations are underway on this matter and there is, er, i would say absolutely complete understanding with the countries of the big seven, namely, they are the countries where the funds and the bank center and the funds seized by russia are located, let's give the nomenclature let's also talk about our social guarantees within the country, any spending on social programs next year will not be reduced, it is announced in the cabinet of ministers, that is, pensions, benefits and subsidies will be paid in full at the same time, there may be problems with the planned increase in pension payments, because due to the war there may not be enough money in the budget, but the government promises to settle this issue, the state is obliged by law to raise pensions in march

2023. here's how to deal with these obligations. what ukraine must guarantee, in particular, to its vulnerable sections of the population, the socially vulnerable, how to be, given the high level of inflation and the fact that people are assessed and forced to receive the same amounts well, first of all, we we are in a state of war if we are in a state of war if the whole economy works eh only eh on the fronts for our victory and if we have eh our economy partially not working at least in those territories that are temporarily not under our control temporarily occupied if a part of our enterprises was simply destroyed by the aggressor, accordingly , our revenues to the state budget

decreased, the decrease in revenues to the state budget led even though there was a sharp reduction in our expenses and in the end, somewhere starting from march we have only two general types of expenses , large ones, everything related to our security and defense, and the second expenses are everything related to the social sphere, and even with this schedule, we have a significant deficit of the state budget, which is mostly covered by our allies in the form of grants, if we predicted that this year there will be a deficit of the state budget somewhere around 7 billion dollars, in fact, we now have a 5 billion dollar monthly deficit, the situation should improve next year to improve due to the fact that some of our enterprises have already started working, some of them are located in occupied territories, some of the enterprises,

some of the business was evacuated to other more stable regions. year will amount to approximately 40 billion dollars, this is a gigantic figure , and we can cover it again with the help of our allies, and we must give credit to the government of ukraine, which worked very actively to to provide this necessary funding uh-uh uh-in the term uh-uh, the need is to pay them not just to receive funds, they need to be received according to a certain schedule uh-uh because it depends on our expenses and really when there is such tension, the only thing that can be done is this is possible to make adjustments to social benefits only in the event that there will be an increase in additional revenues

to the state budget, that is, this room for maneuver remains, but the uncertainty factor from the point of view of the war and from the point of view, i would say not even from the point of view of the war, from the point of view of the end of the war and our victory, everything that remains is a factor that will affect how much we will be able to receive in the revenue part, and i believe that in principle the ministry of finance is doing the right thing in that it does not lay down such e- there are rapid and greater expectations from the population and the budget is formed the most conservative. that means that if there are incomes, additional payments will be increased. if not, then it means that you will be within the limits of what is only possible. and indeed, you are right, inflation. on the next year is expected to be at the level of approximately 30%, this is a big inflation, this means that what we

bought in our consumer basket, e.e., in our consumer basket, that it cost, let's say , 1,000 uah at the beginning of the year, at the end of the year, the same set of goods will cost no only products and goods will cost uah 1,300 and it must be compensated, but even if it is about compensation, it is primarily compensation - it is a kind of vulnerable upper part of the population. as i understand it, these are those who will receive additional assistance from the government, the rest you will receive the necessary indexing and help only if there is a resource for this . let's not build any illusory castles in our heads. let's live in those realities. let's consider such that we have to live in conditions of such uncertainty, including financial thank you

oleg kostenko adviser to the president of ukraine on economic issues estonia has undertaken to rebuild damaged infrastructure facilities in zhytomyr oblast almost a million euros will be allocated for the restoration of the damaged bridge in the city of malyn today, the estonians handed over the first three buses from 12:00 for use by the malinsk, brusilivsk and luhansk communities in the zhytomyr region . a reconstruction forum was also held. it was attended by representatives of local authorities, people's deputies of ukraine, a delegation from estonia and the first deputy chairman of the verkhovna rada, oleksandr kornienko , literally six months ago. this the land stopped the enemy at the cost of the lives of zhytomyr residents and at the cost of infrastructure losses, but zhytomyr region is already on the road to recovery and we are very grateful that we are doing it together dignified with the estonian people, who are currently helping zhytomyr oblast to recover on a very large scale, we responded to the resident

zelensky to choose a specific region for reconstruction to help in this matter and since we can not defend ukraine here with our lives, we must do other very important things, we do not know how long will the war last and we can't wait for the right opportunity, we need to start now we are talking about reconstruction, as we know that you recently returned with raisins. and if we are talking about the liberated territories, what should be done first of all, if we are talking about restoration, then it is repair. is it reconstruction ? now is the most legal, for sure, i think it’s directly, let’s say electricity, that is, light directly, yes, it’s gas water supply, because there

are quite big problems with this, because first of all, everything is extremely mined and uh after itself the russian federation has left a large enough amount of territory that is potentially dangerous. and i can say that our pyrotechnicians work 24/7 and now a very large number are demining precisely the laziness of power transmissions there and many other things. therefore, again, i think that this is probably the number one right now. because it is the most critical for the critical infrastructure in general for the start of further work yesterday already restored the light and power grid to balaklia. now further work is being carried out, including yesterday , 150 star links were sent to the kharkiv region, in general, to the kharkiv region, but we plan to download the work directly, again, this restoration is not only now, i mean an hour about houses, and this includes electricity, light, communication, certain services have already

started working in the de-occupied territories, for example, privatbank has started distributing pensions, they have started distributing humanitarian aid and many other things that are critically important for people now, but if we now we are talking about buildings in general, of course. come on, we won't have time to completely rebuild or build something there before the beginning of winter, so the key story by and large is this kind of preparation for the cold season of wintering. this volume, first of all, is the windows - these are the roofs and of course our dsnstom is currently working on those who want to evacuate to calmer places or where there is an opportunity to disperse these people, but on the other hand, we are also preparing now our facilities are capable of having certain heating points where you can feed people, where you can warm up for those who cannot do it, let's say certain tents that can do it all in principle

. or there were e-e parts of the state emergency service are now located in certain places, including humanitarian hubs, where people can be fed, where food is prepared, where you can get medicine or what is necessary for the people of rostyslav, it takes less than a minute to answer, tell me if there are enough hands or if they are helping volunteers, in particular, to those working in reconstruction, look now, yes, we are helping, we are working, we are already working in balaklia. we just have to understand that there are certain restrictions right now. it is precisely because of the large amount of mined territory that we cannot now work where you wanted. we need a certain amount of time, this is exactly how we went through the process on others to the occupied territories of kyiv region and chernihiv region, but i am convinced that we have enough people, we have people, uh, let's say what we need now, we have enough people, we need a little time to demine more territory and then begin more such, shall we say, extensive

work. thank you rostyslav smirnov, adviser to the minister of internal affairs of ukraine, the reasons for the gas leak on both northern streams may be sabotage branches of russian lawns across the baltic sea is the result of deliberate actions on the night of september 26, the controller of the coastal platform of the northern stream-2 recorded a sharp drop in pressure in the pipeline, in addition, a gas leak was recorded from both branches of the first nord stream, and in the economic zone, data provided by the nord stream operator , nord stream, called the incidents unprecedented and stated that it could not estimate the timing of infrastructure restoration. previous reports indicate that this may be the result of an attack or some kind of sabotage, but this previous reports and we have not yet confirmed

this, which is critically important, we are working every day both in the short term and in the long term on energy security for europe and the whole world, volodymyr omelchenko, director of the center's energy programs, razumkova is with us. i congratulate you. if we talk about this case, what is the threat ? plans to load the ukrainian gas transportation system all the time minimizes the supply of gas through the ukrainian automatic transmission system and may even stop the supply at any moment ready, and it means that it was essentially a terrorist action, because the explosion was recorded because

the seismic units of sweden recorded this explosion, you were like, uh, there it was, which means on the richter scale two and a half points, that is, it is possible that the gas pipeline passes at a depth of 80 m and this action could only be carried out by some serious state structure. that is, it could not be, it cannot be, because it is the result of some individual activity. do you understand the goals, the first goal of these actions is to increase the price of natural gas in for the european union, the second goal is essentially a response to the construction of the baltic pipe gas pipeline, you know that literally yesterday, this gas pipeline was opened and it diversifies

supplies and relieves dependence on russian gas, and the third goal is for the russians to pay, which means fines, fines for the undersupply of natural gas. well, the fourth is a very important goal - it is to scare the european union that they can destroy the infrastructure as well as the norwegian pipelines and the same share - baltic pie can destroy the infrastructure that will essentially create the catastrophic energy situation in the european union, at the same time, they can blame this failure on someone else, including ukraine , these are the main goals, the main motives of the russian side, the claim began to be made to our naftogaz

, it threatens sanctions, tell me if this could mean that transit payments will stop well, they are no longer fulfilling their contractual obligations, because according to the contract, gazprom has to pump 107 billion 107 million cubic meters of gas through the territory of ukraine every day, but it actually pumps 2.5 times less, that is, but according to the terms of the contract, gazprom must pay the full amount because the terms of the contract are whether par-pay pumps or pays gazprom does not do this, it pays only for those for those volumes that it pumped and on of the contract because all portfolios are essentially ignored by gazprom
