they have skills for combat operations and preparations, that is why they use this resource on the territory of belarus , that is, if i understood correctly, it is not about the fact that they may even want to imitate something from the side of belarus, well, for support or, let's say, to distract attention in the case of someone there there are attempts to mount an offensive in the north of there. well, in the sense of the east, there in the north of the luhansk region. rather, it’s just for training, only as a training ground. they solve two tasks at once. they really send them first. for preparation, and at the same time, they can simulate this threat so that for the northern bridgehead of ukraine, so that the armed forces of ukraine continue to concentrate resources there, which they can use, for example, for counter-offensives on the luhansk bridgehead or on the kherson zaporizhzhia, that

is, they are keeping the bolt in tension with this, let's say, threat imitation of this threat , listen and what does it look like in general now? well, you know , because i, for example, when i look at the number of people involved by the russians and so on that, for example, now we are talking about repairs, too, uh, 60 there was something like that, well, some tanks in such old ones, and actually these chess pieces, you already know everything, it even reminds of the second world war, and i’m sorry, the first world war, and some such tactics, too are they similar to it, or am i exaggerating, alexander? well, really, but the t-62 is what i will say. yes, this is still a very new technique that is currently present in the combat zone of the russian occupation forces, and because

now we in general, we observe the use of, for example, on the donbas bridgehead of jiga obedtsi de one because the d1 howitzer is a 152-caliber howitzer that was produced from 1943 to 1949. that is, it already says how far they went to their reserves, these storage warehouses that they opened to use even here -e such artillery and so you can say that they have a very difficult situation, this does not mean that they have at all today and there is no possibility to compensate, for example, the losses of the tank in the t-72 t, all that they had ended in the 90s, but to remove storage warehouses and storage centers this the equipment needs to be restored, it takes much

longer than it seems at first glance, and that's why they use as much as possible everything they have, everything that 's left, everything that can shoot, drive, etc. it makes no sense at all. it is possible to say so, mykhailo, and at the end, i would like you to appreciate this story a little, well, it is clear that the russian forces are not limitless. and actually, what can they do to help? we see yes and ram there, er, these drones, what else can they expect from the morning, what can they expect from other countries, which, well, can they finally expect something from er, the chinese, this is also an important question, as far as china has agreed, it will be ready er- er well get involved in this somehow er-er make some deliveries what do you think how do you evaluate it well in china er-er

watching china will never directly directly participate in this it does not need it neither strategically nor politically anywhere logically china will watch it and wait for it along the river the corpse of his enemy will float by, here i am not a friend of china, it is a country that occupied the northern territories of china for a long time, so china will look at how putin withdraws his troops from the far east, pulls out tanks and modern equipment from there, and will gradually settle peacefully and maintain where the fact of this territory, if we look at e-e maps on the satellite satellite of the only images, we see that now he has already built to khabarivsk elegant roads on which no one

drives and where there are no people, which simply lean into the amur river, and then it already goes to khabarivsk there 20-30 km well, a very short distance, that is, all this is already ready and china is gradually populating the far east with its citizens, that is, the chinese - it will be watched quite calmly until it has the opportunity to capture all these territories and restore its territorial integrity, for example, he says about this the number and composition of the chinese people's army congratulations to fight with thousands of tanks tanks and planes from taiwan, well, it's just funny because, uh, this amount of weapons will not fit there, but this amount of weapons is exactly thousands tanks, planes, it will be needed to capture and restore its territorial integrity , if we look a little historically, in 2015,

angela merkel gave comrade seven an old map of china on which these territories were present. that is, we can say that the civilized world predicts china's actions in this way and e i don't mind such people. well, we are forced. we are forced to interrupt now, although it is an interesting story. it would be interesting to see how it will develop. it was mykhailo prytula , oleksandr kovalenko. came to the end, it was a chronicle of hostilities for a week, and well, watch the espresso tv channel, and watch us for a week, vietnamese balm star, the first step in the treatment of colds, a proven drug, not a cosmetic mixture, we will be healthy, ask vietnamese pharmacies, trust only proven drugs events, the

publish the link in your social networks. let us see it. more people in ukraine have opened a state-owned store with firewood. it works online. citizens can order wood from forest farms via the internet. this was reported by the ministry of environmental protection and natural resources . necessary for the economy, you can also pay remotely, i will add that a limit is set on the volume of one customer, you can buy no more than 15 cubic meters per one heating season, prices for buckwheat may drop to uah 60-70 per kilogram, such forecasts were voiced by the ministry of agricultural policy, because today buckwheat is more expensive this season, farmers plan to harvest more than 150,000 tons of this grain and the price will go

down no more, they have already threshed in sumy oblast, zhytomyr oblast, khmelnytskyi oblast, such a harvest has been a record for recent years, so there will be no shortage of buckwheat groats, there will be enough for all consumers, experts note, finding housing is one of the most popular problems faced by ukrainian refugees abroad, our compatriots from germany, they especially complain about the rules for finding housing there, it is not always easy to find housing, what ukrainians go through, let's see in the story of our correspondents, for those ukrainians who have no one to go to, the first destination in germany becomes a refugee camp. to bavaria, she found shelter there and began to look for housing for long-term rent on websites, the woman rented an apartment, but she does not stop searching, she plans to move because she lives in a village, and it is important for a migrant to have a developed infrastructure nearby in germany,

the story is that you do not choose the apartment, but the apartment chooses you, that is, if the owners liked you, if you speak german well, if you have a good job, then maybe you will become the lucky one who is taken by the owners of this apartment. daryna also stopped at first in a camp for refugees and then she managed to find housing, she admits - it's not an easy task, they just didn't answer whether you were looking at an apartment, you just didn't like the formir if a person financially secured housing rent is paid for by the state, hanna says that the main problem is real estate prices, which have increased due to the number of refugees in germany, and state payments have remained the same as they were at the beginning of the year even before the war in ukraine, so it is very difficult to find housing because the commercial value of this rental apartment it is much more than the one paid by the jeep center, it is firstly and secondly that they are completely unfurnished and you have to

spend your extra money, most apartments are rented without furniture and you are very, very lucky if there there is a kitchen, they look for housing on the internet through acquaintances or ask for help from brokers, i.e. realtors, depending on the number of family members, the job center allocates a certain amount for the payment of apartment rent, they allocate two amounts, one amount is a cold, so-called rent, a rent without heating and a second rent - this is a rental with heating for hanna's family allocated a maximum of 75 m² of space and 550 € of payment for a cold rent in a nearby city the amount that germany is willing to pay monthly for housing for a family is already more than 700 euros e this amount depends uh, from the city in which you uh, you want to find this apartment. that is, uh, you have to pay it there, as well as from the land , well, that is, whether it is bavaria or not. i think that it is not so

difficult that the job center uh, uh, agrees to pay uh, how uh it is quite difficult to find the procedure for renting an apartment with payment from the state, but most of the displaced people go through this path. you must warn the owner of the apartment that you will pay the cost of the apartment through the jeep center and that you will not pay it yourself, but through a contract with this institution then job center which takes care of the issue of employment, social protection of the unemployed, must confirm that he agrees to pay for this housing, and then you can already sign the contract. however, not all landlords want to have tenants who pay for housing in germany. they settled the longitude there for two weeks. then the space-ay company came to us. they gave us

several options where we can live in the future. the volunteer paid for the family's hotel and house. they live now we can, as i said, live in this life for two or three months, but we live a little longer but we have to move into a new house - it's a long time to say yes to us our neighbor found this house however, not everyone is so lucky have to go through a more difficult path to find housing olga dutko from germany for the espresso tv channel we will return to the news from ukraine we will talk about the main economic news with two experts traditional it is a financial analyst of the icu group mykhailo demkiv and associated expert of analytical center case ukraine yevgen

dubagrys, congratulations good morning and i can already hear voices and see yevhen well, let's put the first question to yevhen and direct it so, yesterday the verkhovna rada changed the state budget in terms of expenditures, this is already the 8th time this year changes have been made to the budget increased expenditure of uah 387 billion, well, most of it will go to the ministry of defense, then the ministry of internal affairs and other law enforcement agencies, why was it necessary to change expenditures at the end of the year and also for such a huge amount, but where will we get the money? let's talk in the next block of questions, first, why these changes, well, it was necessary to change the budget because we have papal expenses, especially the expenses for the

army, simply because of inflation, because of the war , they exceed what was planned now in the budget, but before these changes, we had 600 and uah 24 billion this year, but already in january-august, uah 535 billion was spent, that is, in fact, according to the results of september, we spent more on the army than the budget had warned, and now it is just the parliament submitting to the government because this is a draft law proposed by the government, it simply brought the figures in the budget to reality , i do not see any negative consequences of this, because it is usually presented as a horror story that the nbu will print more hryvnias, that the mission is inflation and all the negative consequences, but this is not happening nbu it is already the third month consecutively prints exactly as much

money as he promised, 30 billion uah per month , and we finance the rest at the expense of international aid. well, of course, at the expense of our usual taxes. therefore, some critical the effect on the emission on inflation, that is precisely from these technical changes to the law on the budget this year, i especially do not see mr. mykhailo, it is noted in the news that this is the eighth time there have been changes. well, it would be possible to count all these expenses last time and make them, why drag it out these changes are endless. well, the fact is that this is a time of peace, and we could basically credit the ministry of finance for otaku for such things. now there is a kind of information asymmetry, that is, the ministry of finance in the government knows a lot. more than they even can i'm not talking about the general public,

but even to our western partners, the ministry of finance can reveal far from all the numbers , especially those numbers that are related to the defense industry with payments to soldiers on the front lines. of course, because this is very sensitive information about which it is not worth revealing the cards of the enemy, of these almost 400 billion hryvnias of additional funds provided for in the budgets, more than half of them are actually salaries for ukrainian soldiers, and therefore the frequent changes in the ministry of finance can be forgiven, since we have already touched on the topic of where to take money, mr. mykhailo, evgeny announced such a possibility as a mission of money by the national bank of ukraine and that the national bank of ukraine does not exceed the declared volumes of the issue. therefore, these are estimated revenues, we also have help from western allies in the form of loans and

grants, and there are state bonds state loan, let's go through all these three points. what is the nbu doing there? how far are our western allies helping us and do ukrainians buy bonds? actually, national banks are one from the main sources of covering the budget deficit, since the beginning of the year, they have already printed uah 327.5 billion , this bill is already a law that we are discussing, it provides for a larger amount and the source of what is the actual internal borrowing, taking into account the fact that the bonds of the legal bank companies buy, but in smaller volumes than the ministry of finance repays their obligations, so it looks like they will cover this deficit at the expense of issuing funds to the

national bank. no, this is not so. there is such a conflict here that the ministry of finance legally cannot spend the funds of western partners to finance the army and actually, this package is about the financing of defense and, accordingly, they must be prescribed in the articles. thus , but you will not sign every hryvnia, there is money that comes in, and we expect that we, ukraine , expect the arrival of funds from the eu and from the imf and from of the european bank in significant amounts and this will, in principle, allow to finance the increase in the budget deficit well, here is actually yesterday's news about the fact that the european union is sending €2 billion of macro-financial assistance to ukraine, as i understand it in order to balance the budget and not for some military purposes, but this will allow the money that is already in the budget to really be spent on the military

. evgeny. and what is happening with the bonds from the yield on the bonds of the domestic state loan? i remember that the ministry of finance and the national bank the national bank insisted that the ministry of finance should offer better conditions for those who give their money to the state, and the ministry of finance tried to use various innovative methods to attract this money, for example the series of bonds were called by different names of the temporarily occupied territories, for example, the series of crimean bonds, the series of horlovka bonds, and so on, that we had an auction of the ministry of finance for the placement and pre-placement of udp, that is, the sale of these bonds by the bank mainly to non-residents and to non-residents and a little it was so positive yesterday , and the event that for the first time they sold quite a lot, they sold 17 billion uah, this is a large amount transferred with a

preliminary loan, because during the previous month we attracted much more, we attracted much less in such auctions and the second moment that the ministry of finance did what the national bank required from him already since the beginning of june, he raised the rates for these gdps, and that is, the supplies were from 14 to 18.5% - this is more than before the ministry of finance sold because the ministry of finance somewhere, er, believed publicly that the gdp - this is such a patriotic thing that people and banks have to buy gdp at any rate, that is, the rates were nine 11% even before the war. and then the ministry of finance did what the national bank asked of him, raised rates on the national bank in turn, but in the last two weeks he stopped, as they say, publicly trolling the ministry of finance because he rates are not rising and you know this is an indicator of the fact

that it seems that this conflict, which has already been going on since the beginning of summer between the ministry of finance and the national bank, is perhaps even close to ending. and it is very good news that these two bodies will interact. this is a much more positive story, much more positive than those involved 17 billion, because if they really cooperate well in the future, we will attract more from the domestic market, now the banks have a lot of liquidity, and there is a lot of money, and somewhere around uah 150 billion, the banks can freely release and buy gdp with this money and about financing the budget as needed of course i hope that it will work, but besides the budget , we actually also have the private sector of the economy, there are businesses that work and there is, in particular, a large business, and this week well, last week, russia attacked infrastructural energy facilities. and

we know who is the main player in this energy market - it's rinat akhmetov's company . it's possible to estimate his losses from these missile strikes, or is he still influential? a wealthy man, and there is also news about another businessman. i don't know. well, until the court verdicts are handed down, we will call him a businessman about oleg bakhmatyuk. they came to him . mr. nasyrov that they conspired and that the head of the tax department helped to reimburse oleg bakhmatyuk's companies for vat and for that he received a kickback in the amount of this repeats the version of the investigation

. services 20% of the amount of compensation and it was about billions of hryvnias respectively the sums are very large so let's talk about these two wealthy people, mr. yevgeny, what do you think, did the akhmet empire suffer losses and what will happen to mr. bakhmatyuk? factories that were seized by the russians and, due to circumstances, were even almost completely destroyed, and the plus is that exports suffered a lot, but less, but still, akhmetov remains a great businessman, a person who there owns many assets in ukraine, which owns critical assets and most importantly, it seems to me that a number of akhmetovs have already publicly stated their claims to russia that the russians must pay

reparations, he is the first of our billionaires to file a lawsuit in europe with a demand to compensate for these losses i hope that akhmetov's legal services there will be very useful to us when it comes to compensation, these reparations, and energy assets. as mykhailo already said, the government changes, and the detector itself has a greater with information than we do, and it is better that this information about real things about real losses remain classified anyway. let's leave it to mikhail to comment on bakhmatyuk, because we have literally a minute and a half left about akhmetov, so you talked, mr. mykhailo, what about oleg bakhmatyuk, he uh, it was as if he looked like such a great agrarian businessman. and now he has failure after failure, then a claim is being made against him. regarding his bank, the bankrupt vvb-bank. now,

regarding the vat refund to his agricultural companies, what well, if we just talked about mr. akhmetov, this is a story about 2020, the second year of destruction from the war, then the story with mr. bakhmatyuk is a very past life from the banking crisis of 14-15 years, which is just reaching its logical conclusion, i will not i don't dare to say who is right and who is wrong, of course, only the court will judge the sentence, but since that time, which is mentioned in the 17th year, which is said, ukraine has done a lot of quality things in terms of vat refunds, namely since 2017 it worked automatically, the compensation system in vat. we received much more

information about the transparency of who will receive and what amounts. this does not mean that vat works completely well, but we are moving in the right direction. thank you, mr. mykhailo. oleg bakhmatyuk of the trial of himself and his companies, and let's see what the conclusions will be. this was economic news with andrii minsky on the espresso tv channel. together we will win. good evening. we are from ukraine. vasyl zima's big broadcast my name is cool winter two hours of air time and my colleagues are with you until 21:00 two hours of your time we will talk about the most important thing two hours to learn about the war it turns out our air serhiy zgoretska military summaries of the day and what is the world like what's in the world will be told by yuri the physicist for two hours to be
