circulation will be physical, it was replaced last year on the 21st, every eighth hryvnia, and we ukrainians obviously do not like 10 hryvnia coins because of their design and the fact that they are heavy and psychologically have 10 hryvnia banknotes for 10 hryvnias games with kumonet for 10 hryvnias it feels in the second case as if you are later, although in fact it is the same amount of money p mykhailo thank you, we are forced to complete it thank you, dear experts for your comments , mykhailo demkiv, a financial analyst of the icu group of companies, and yevhen dubogrys, an associate , were with us expert of the analytical center case ukraine, i am the presenter andrii yanitskyi with economic news on espresso , together we will win so that ukrainians do not think about so that they do not talk about the first place, the war still comes out,

contact group on the defense of ukraine in brussels against the background of new russian missile attacks minister of defense of the ukrainian territories shalova gostin said that the latest attacks by russia have united the countries even more. he promised to increase the defense capabilities of ukraine for the urgent needs of today and even the long-term perspective. that decisions are made at it to close the ukrainian sky because of ukraine was discussed at a separate meeting and within the framework of nato meetings, my colleague yulia followed the events in brussels today yarmolenko, she is with us now on direct communication from the white house. congratulations lolya. congratulations natalya. the minister of defense of ukraine, oleksei geresnikov, arrived in brussels with a very specific request to provide ukraine with more anti-missile and anti-aircraft systems. did ukraine keep what it wanted today ? today's meeting

of the contact group on the prohibition of ukraine was at least the first meeting when the issue of anti-aircraft missile defense was a priority for ukraine, and oleksiy actually said so reznikov before the start of the meeting, and for the first time from the announcement that was made today, it was an announcement from the german defense, christine lamberg , she said that the first of four a arist systems had already been delivered to ukraine - these are the latest german-made air defense systems, which, according to the minister, will be very important to protect ukraine from russian missile attacks, german experts draw attention to the fact that these systems are extremely effective in countering cruise missiles in particular . we also know that soon they will not have to arrive with two pump systems - these are other important air defense systems that, in particular, stand on the defense of the white house and, as they say in washington

, everything is being done here to ensure that these systems arrive as soon as possible in ukraine, also if we are talking about the pct system, again, about this system german-made, then german experts draw attention to the fact that it is extremely effective as part of a complex multi-layered air defense and in fact it is exactly what western countries western partners are trying to help ukraine to build a top today, american general mark mill drew attention to the fact that ukraine already has certain air defense systems that the ukrainian military uses very effectively, the task of the partners is to fill in the gaps in the defense of the sky, and it is precisely on these as in marg-mill the members of the contact group on the defense of ukraine will also work - this task is difficult, but achievable, he said that ukraine is asking and that in our opinion

it is possible to provide this integrated system of air defense. it will not control the entire airspace over ukraine, but it is designed to control the priority targets that need to be defended in ukraine. actually, we are considering the following short-range and low-altitude systems, medium-range and medium-altitude systems, as well as longer-range and higher-altitude systems, a combination of all this protects the airspace from russian rotorcraft and russian missiles. many countries that were here today have a wide range of air defense systems and the task will be to combine them , deliver them and organize training, because each of these systems is different, and make sure that the ukrainians can connect them to command and control systems and communication, and make sure that there are radars in ukraine that will communicate with each other to determine incoming goals, it is quite difficult from a technical point of view, but this is exactly what we are striving for. and we are

air defense as fast as it is physically possible. this raises a number of questions and challenges, because there are not so many in the arms of western countries of air defense systems that they can transfer to equip the ukrainian armed forces, because it is important to note that there are and most of the existing air defense systems already protect certain objects, other countries have fled, and in order to transfer additional systems to ukraine, they must be manufactured, but loydosty said that western countries have already a number of western countries are working to speed up and increase production in order to transfer these systems to ukraine.

seen at the meeting of the contact group is inspiring countries are ready to do everything in their power to create additional capabilities we discussed the need for additional means of air defense i am quite sure that countries will do everything they can if they can to provide additional capabilities did you hear what we said about the provision of nasims - these are good systems that will really help ukrainians germany did you hear that it announced the provision of ii st systems and i expect even more capacity to appear today as well additional countries have announced their readiness to provide ammunition for those nasams systems, and this always inspires yulia. in addition to anti-air defense systems, what else did today's discussion focus on? what else did we hear from the ministers? yes, natalya, definitely. are taking place in brussels and the meetings of the contact group took place precisely on

the sidelines of this meeting, and the greatest attention was devoted to ukraine unconditionally. we also heard from a number of other countries additional announcements about military aid, in particular. the same germany said that in the next few weeks, ukraine should also receive additional anti -aircraft missile systems, mars-2 missile systems, as well as 2,000 panzer howitzer artillery systems. also, canada announced a new package of military aid in the amount of almost 50 million dollars, among them, 15 million should go to winter equipment for ukrainians, mainly of canadian production, also 15 million to ammunition for artillery shells, another 15 million to cameras for drones and also to cellular communication we also heard an announcement from the netherlands. the netherlands is allocating an additional 15 million euros for, in particular, surface-to- air missile systems. other countries have also announced their own

additional aid packages and we will also expect them in the next few days because the main message we heard today, according to the results of this contact group, the participants of the forum also discussed that these more than 50 countries of the world will really help ukraine as much as yuli needs, in addition to defense assistance to ukraine and russia's nuclear threats, what statements did the delegates make? we heard about putin's nuclear blackmail for how many seconds. natalya. the first thing we heard was from the secretary general of nato . he said that indeed nuclear threats and the kremlin's nuclear rhetoric are extremely dangerous, but he emphasized that the country of the nato alliance does not see any progress whatsoever that russia is preparing to really carry out any such strike. thank you yulia for this information. yulia yarmolenko was in direct contact with us from the white house. this week the

annual meetings of the world bank and the imf are held, and in minutes, the leadership of the world bank fund, as well as the ministry of finance of the united states and the ukrainian government, are discussing economic assistance to ukraine. my colleague oksana bedratenko is following the meetings of the world bank and the imf, she is joining us from the headquarters. congratulations oksana oksana to the participants of the meeting dedicated to helping ukraine just now addressed president zelenskyi of course, this happened in a virtual format because since the beginning of the full-scale war, he has not made foreign trips, which actually, although the participants of the round table from president zelenskyi yes, terror must lose and ukraine must win with your help, with these words addressed the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi to the heads of

financial institutions, he voiced three requests to them. the first is the creation of a ramstein for the economy, that is, such a coordination platform that would coordinate all economic support for ukraine, such as the one that is working now for defense aid, the second e is the urgent needs of ukrainians, winter is approaching and the ukrainian president zelenskyy appealed to the heads of financial institutions with a request to open a credit limit of 5 billion dollars for ukraine in order to be able to buy coal or gas for the needs of the heating period if it is needed . the third is business, and business is not investing in ukraine now because of the war, so zelensky encouraged insurance companies and international financial organizations, you are taking on military risks in ukraine, oksana. so, you have just announced very specific

measures from the ukrainian president, what was the reaction to them, what statements were made during the meeting, the director of the managing director of the international monetary fund, kristalina georgievna, received with great enthusiasm zelensky's request to open a ramstein for the economy, and this coordinating platform, and as for funds, georgieva noted that the international community has already collected 35 billion dollars for ukraine, which is an amount that, in her opinion of georgia should be sufficient to cover the needs of ukraine in the ukrainian budget for this year and next year, according to imf estimates, all that ukraine will need is foreign aid. in principle, external

financing is needed, the era is going on, the war is going on, said georgiyeva, she still noted the successes of ukraine, the successes of the ukrainian government, but there is still some economic stabilization in some regions, however the head of the fund noted that this stability - stability turned out to be very fragile in view of the recent missile strikes that we saw in ukraine that the government of ukraine needs 5 billion dollars every month to continue performing vital functions, such are the estimates of both the world bank and the ukrainian government . aid to ukraine is a collective effort and called on allies to join the united states in ukraine's two countries oxano where does ukraine receive funds now and what are the promises of partners a-a the largest the donor for economic aid to ukraine is the united states, and the united states is in the lead both in defense aid and from

the point of view of the economy. 4.5 billion dollars for the economy of ukraine, elena called on all countries to join and strengthen their efforts to support the ukrainian economy. according to the minister of finance of the ministry of finance of ukraine, the national bank printed more than 10 billion e-e dollars, which caused fears among economists that such sums of the commission could lead to risks of inflation . in recent months, e-e help from international donors has increased and that is why there is no longer such a need to print money, the european

union and other countries are also moving forward, but the need for financing will remain for the next year as well. zelensky said that ukraine will need somewhere between 30 and 2 billion in 2023, only in order to continue to fulfill their functions, to make social payments and pay pensions, salaries, and so on, and the minister of finance has already called at today's conference to strengthen aid to ukraine, and they called on all countries to get more involved in this in shock from the pandemic and the russian war on a rope the world economy but now is not the time to retreat the world needs an ambitious answer to all our problems earlier this year president putin unleashed a brutal war against ukraine human casualties putin's extraordinary fraudulent attempt to annex

the sovereign territory of ukraine is the latest example of his full contempt for the un charter and peaceful countries everywhere . thank you oksana for your analysis. i know you will have the opportunity to talk with the representative of ukraine at the world bank today . in direct contact with the headquarters of the myth was oksana bedratenko , the players of the global cryptocurrency market have donated about 60 million dollars to help ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale war, the so-called the crypto fund was created by ukrainian businessmen with the support of the ukrainian authorities, currently the volume of donations has decreased, however, the ministry of digital transformation is working to maintain the interest of cryptospinota in the project, and the founders of the fund communicated with iryna solomko when russia

started a full-scale war in ukraine serhii vasylchuk, co-owner of one of the largest blockchain companies everstate was in miami, it was a shock, i was sitting on the phone talking about it, my eyes were full of tears, i couldn't do anything and i couldn't to conceive and the founder of the peasants is anatoliy kovenko , he is also originally from ukraine, he is from odesa, he called me, they say, what are you doing, well, well , how are you, and it was a kind of cold shower for me, i think so, stop, and why am i not doing anything, the next question will be and what can i do, what can i do if i’m far away now, you know how to make a hut, come on, i can still do it, and we just took the tool that we had and felt like building a type, an article, a federation , a platform, technology. serhiy has been doing it for many years, according to him, there are many charities in the world initiatives, but the banking system and the traditional approach to organizing the work of funds slows down the

flow of funds. when the russian troops moved into ukraine, the question of time and the fastest possible assistance to the ukrainian military became the key . five employees of his company were at the front and urgently needed helmets and body armor . by money transfer cryptocurrency as you know the blockchain transaction takes a few seconds, which is very different from a bank transfer or a transfer through the network swift, so regardless of whether you send 10 cents or 10 million dollars via the blockchain, it’s the same simple and just as fast, here he is, the federa , a representative of the government organization, the solyan foundation , which is responsible for the development and safe use of the solyan one script currency, the organization also joined the project to create a crypto fund for aid to ukraine, according to serhiy, from the very beginning, people had ready funds, but at that time it was important to build trust in the project, so with the help of the initiators , we decided to turn to him for numbers, then we they called you domain numbers this is one of the signs i

think the best of our ministries and innovators and said look guys we have a lot of such different initiatives yes there they are collecting they are collecting and collecting and people who do not know except what is happening here inside the tipa they they are very difficult for them let's understand what kind of scarf it will be. somehow , it's like doing it centrally, and we're using such umbrellas , he's numbers, like we made a website. fedora of ukraine explains that ukraine is an extremely important country in the world of bloggers. well, a significant number of developers are located right here. serhiy and associates have worked out a solution to the problem of trust in the project and nescapi . two people came, representatives of the government at least three out of five must agree on how the funds will be used deputy minister of digital transformation oleksandr bornyakov

manages the project from the ministry says the organizational the part is quite complicated, it was necessary to create a certain infrastructure that allowed the system to be used all over the world for many people in the imagination. it’s just that some kind of wallet is open there. well, that’s all there, then there were some cryptocurrencies dripping in there, and that’s all. actually, it’s much more complicated because you have to think about security, we need to think about the possibility of transferring and exchanging these e-e let's say so assets, that 's why bornikov explains. the first transactions of several million went from big donors, after that the world cryptospinota saw that this was a serious project and money went massively, i even know that many people from russia called money that way, i see the type of transactions that were there in

1945-1946 and then i started to see that the people of the baltic the czech republic, they sent the number of dollar coins there, which was shown this year when, for example, russia in the old village of their ukraine, and thus i saw all the classicist ones, and these poles live, and they only symbolically gave you such a number of leftovers sat crying, according to voroniakov, an important component of the success of this project is reporting and transparent use of the funds received to date for the needs of the armed forces and other units. up to 50 million dollars have already been spent. they provided constitutional assistance. where exactly should it go, what exactly is needed for it to reach the addressee. that is , there was a large part of the work that was not carried out by my team there. that is, we communicated with the general staff, the ministry of defense, the old defense, e.e. , with the border guards e.e., our special services there and

after all, it is different. that is, all these needs passed through a certain filter because, unfortunately, there were also attempts at fraud. bornyakov admits that the activity with someone in the community has decreased significantly . he explains this by the launch of another project, united 24, which also accepts donations in cryptocurrency when i for example, my colleagues are going to some event there, he knows. in europe, there in asia, i will now be in dubai at a blockchain conference, then somewhere there in a day, maybe 5 10-15 thousand dollars, it starts to arrive there, then silence again need so let's say work at international conferences and travel so that once again people have heard that it is necessary to help and then they will contribute something there. vasylchuk, in turn, is convinced of the crypto-aid project for ukraine - this is a textbook example

, he discovered the potential of using blockchain technology in emergency situations when this or that country suffers from disaster and needs quick and effective help from new york iryna solomko voice of america our next story about 28-year-old volunteer amber escuderokontostatis on the fourth august, on her birthday, amber was collecting donations near the white house in washington for the international rescue committee, which helps refugees, especially ukrainians, when amber's thunderstorm began and three more passers-by hid under a tree. but he was also struck by lightning. amber is the only one who survived, she calls this day her second day born today, amber continues to work for a charitable mission because she believes that every person in the world deserves support and salvation. a month after the tragedy, she spoke with by the voice of america in an interview with ilona vojtovych, she talked about her recovery and how the international organization with the experience of helping victims of

nazi persecution today helps ukrainian victims of the russian war. hai amp. congratulations. i am glad to be able to talk to you about your work that helps save lives and also about your story of survival that day near the white house was tragic for you how are you feeling today i know that you have already returned to work now i work virtually i am still not allowed to fully go to work and do fundraising on the street, which i'm used to, but i hope for it in the near future, the doctors say that they expect a full recovery. of the international rescue committee, we come to the white house at least once a week. it's one

of our favorite places to talk to people about pressing issues facing people in ukraine or people in afghanistan. the committee works in more than 40 different countries in the world is the largest organization for the resettlement of refugees in the united states we are present in more than 25 cities in america that day and was the voice of those people who obviously need help very much but cannot say it in person and we give people here the opportunity to contribute and help it just so happened that it was also my birthday about 10 minutes before i was supposed to be picked up my husband was struck by lightning can you tell me more about how the international rescue committee works and about your team press-hold that you lead in particular. how do you help ukrainian immigrants? in fact , the committee was founded more than 89 years ago at the request of the physicist and refugee albert einstein. at first, they helped families fleeing

nazi persecution to find asylum in the united states. our work in ukraine is actually cooperation with local partners emergency evacuation assistance especially for women and children we provide vital things for people including blankets food and water as well as medical assistance in addition we also located in neighboring poland, where we help with obtaining asylum, access to information about the needs of refugees on the ground, and also provide temporary shelter and housing and the opportunity to come to some disturbed states and to other neighboring countries. so for people who are looking for the possibility of refugees in the united states as it is you who can help them with resettlement and with asylum families who need help with coming to the united states i recommend visiting our website there you can find contacts of more qualified people who can answer this is the question. my work is fundraising. however,

i can say that our organization does not leave the displaced people alone who have been helped with moving and finding a safe haven . and in places in poland and ukraine, where these services are very important. and in general, we help people get back on their feet, usually from the experience of working with immigrants, for example from afghanistan people become independent after 6-12 months thanks to the efficient and skillful work of the committee team in the usa, which helps people achieve success and enables them to rebuild their lives in ukraine. people on the ground can contact both representatives of the committee and our partners and also find more information on our website, tens of thousands of people have already passed through the committee and partners. last year, almost 32 million people around the world

received our help. united will remember when the white house announced the unity program. for the sake of ukraine, which aims to help resettle about 100,000 ukrainian refugees in the usa for a limited period of time. can your organization play a kind of sponsoring role for some of these families who seek asylum here? we were very happy about such announcements, we are ready to help all families who only we can and our committee as much as possible the refugee resettlement agency in the united states plans to help the most families who will be able to get here has your story helped raise funds or are you seeing an influx of donations for the campaign or those who want to help those affected by the war in ukraine, it was wonderful that the

international rescue committee reached out to my family while i was in the hospital, because i was in the intensive care unit of the burn center, i could not participate in the decision to create a company page on our website with fundraising was actually done so that when people heard my story as a survivor they could feel that they too could help someone survive you know i am extremely lucky to have such a it's the support and the staff that i have access to that save lives i believe that every person on this planet deserves the kind of help that i was able to get through an online link to a company under my name in just the first four days people have donated over $1,200 to help people in ukraine afghanistan and servers all over the world are just incredible i look forward to recovery to go out again and raise funds on behalf of ukrainians so that you have the support of the wasteful materials that you
