for such equipment, we have restrictions with procurement procedures, and a colleague said that this leads to negativity, and we proposed to remove such restrictions. there is a third direction for which we, as an association of cities, are very grateful, it is our international partners who purchase from themselves. such equipment is transferred in the form of charitable assistance for which, of course, then we report for a long time to many e-e checking structures, but we need this help to ensure the preservation of such objects well, there are various fortifications these are already technical details, i will not tell you, mr. oleksandr, nevertheless, when you mentioned that, in principle, the income from subventions is not enough, and there is not enough funding from the central budget, there is another point here, that is, there is

information on the website of the association about the fact that in the last draft of the budget for e-e and for the next year there is such a thing that e-e c- communities cannot carry out transfers between themselves and transfer funds and this can only be done with the permission of the cabin, that is, such a ban is introduced on such e-e transfers transfer of funds from the budget to the budget and i understand that the association opposes this. why is it so important to leave this opportunity for the communities? to be honest, they are holding back now so as not to respond emotionally, but this is an example when the situation is made worse due to the introduction of such rules. see what happened in our country in the summer . municipalities in the west of ukraine or municipalities

that had a certain part of free financial resources made decisions at their sessions in accordance with the budget code. compliance with all procedures and sent e-e transfers e-e to those communities that need them, these are just living funds, yes, which were transferred from the account, for example, from lviv to chernihiv, ivano-frankivsk, to nizhyn, e-e, respectively, from ternopil to raisin hmm, so that these communities which victims who were previously occupied received a financial resource for which they simply do not have it and were able to ensure the work of the municipality, including preparing for the heating season and purchasing appropriate equipment or even simply paying uh, from salaries and other payments to the budget door, and

here uh, there is an initiative. when such mutual aid that stitches the country together, which helps directly ensures the quality of life of everyone, uh, with you, there is an initiative and a resolution of the cabinet of ministers - this is it is prohibited, that is, changes are being made to this resolution, they say and now you agree with the ministry of finance, in what form, in what way, what terms is this in the form of a letter , should this project be a decision ? mutual aid between communities is blocked and now, in fact, for example, a separate inspectorate of western ukraine could help, or the same kyiv could help buchi, irpin, chernihiv, semeniv, and novgorod-siver raisin, and everything else, i have a question: why do this in conditions of

financial deficit resources across the country are in short supply precisely in those communities that were de-occupied and suffered if it is from the state budget that you provide the appropriate financial resource you do not provide the appropriate equipment you do not provide it on time that why do you forbid mutual aid between communities? i want to add that yesterday in the parliament such an amendment to the budget code was considered to prohibit it at the level of the budget code, and thank god that the parliament did not support this amendment, it received only 180 votes we found out about it literally an hour before the vote, and we are also interested. this is amendment 191 and

we are also interested. will lack financial resources for such mutual assistance, they will appeal to the court of the cabinet of ministers that it violates the budget code and reaches the limits of powers even in the conditions of martial law, because it cannot be prohibited. military administrations and in the office of the president there is a headquarters under the cabinet of ministers where we try to work as a single mechanism and communities also have their own area of ​​responsibility in terms of provision e-e effectiveness on critical infrastructure objects as regards restoration and as regards e-e complete territories of ensuring the quality of life as for preservation of critical infrastructure objects that provide electricity, heat and gas supply, this is something else and when

communities that have funds for these purposes exclusively on purpose, they transfer funds to the communities. funds that they do not have appear like this legal act. i understand that the municipal authorities are responsible. will be and they will then come to check that the authorities and law enforcement agencies and the accounting chambers and the state audit service and many, many others will appeal in court, that's why yesterday in the parliament they tried to bury it. it's good news that this correction turns out to be stopped and i'm just two more short ones i'll just sum up, and the opaque work of the cabinet of ministers of the parliament now leads to such things as you say. it's good that the association at least found out about it in an hour and was able to do something about it, and that's an option, we all understand that

the ukrainian army is effective because there is a place for initiative, a place for a flexible solution, it is so decentralized, mother says, but why don't we give it to the communities in order to the same, the same, the same success can be repeated in this war in the economy, economic solutions in places where the initiative of communities can solve a lot thank you very much for this conversation to talk with you and more than once thank you oleksandr slobozhan executive director of the association of cities of ukraine well, now after the conversation about whether we will warmly talk about whether or not we will use fuel at gas stations serhiy kuyun, director of the a-95 consulting group, please contact us serhiy good morning , what should we expect at least from gas stations, will there be queues, will there be anything to refuel or there will be

something to refuel. i mean money, well, it's hard to say in terms of money. and what fuel will be, i can say with more than certainty. the fact is that the fuel market has experienced such a situation as it is now in the energy sector. back in the spring, it was the first to be attacked, as we remember. we think it was the destroyed oil refineries factories, oil depots, the main channels of fuel supply are blocked, and for uh, for uh, there for about 3-4 months, ukraine has built a completely new uh, a new system of providing oil products, and today it guarantees us uh, the stability of supply, we see that all gas stations are working uh more fuel than we have current consumption and by the way, now we can already talk about the fact that we have passed the seasonal side of consumption, which lasted from august to the

first half of october, we see that we have come more than successfully, so i think that in the winter season, which it is considered to be so dead for this market, it is still called i think that the more we will pass it normally p sergiu somewhere at the end of spring or beginning of summer he does not remember i was there and he was next to me when there was just this crisis that the crisis was going on there were still queues for fuel. well, it may have cleared up a little bit, and there was a woman with me, a lady who drove by in a brand new car, and there was such a desperate conversation, because they told her, you know, that the fuel system was completely destroyed we are not even killed we know what will happen with the engine now. well, in principle, everything is quite bad, and she says, well, how can i, i filled up at official gas stations, i can’t have a brand new car and it’s not a year, and it was

probably a story about something that was somewhere. well, what it's called bodyaga zala. but i understand. and what about fuel now? does this system that currently exists effectively control the quality of fuel? has it become better than it was before the war? maybe even i don't know what the current story is with fuel , or is it low-quality fuel? actually really the situation with the quality of fuel, it is quite so unhappy , first of all, the state has banned all checks of fuel quality, that is, there is none, that is, the state system does not work, and secondly, we really see that the deficit that was and the prices that are high today oil products and they are high, i will remind you because, well, in addition to the fact that the exchange rate has grown very much in our country, yes, and inflation, etc., etc. they are

also expensive because of expensive logistics, yes. that is, we have completely rebuilt the market and now we supply everything through the western border, this is a very expensive story with from the point of view of logistics, that is, it’s all about logistics, and even more so, frankly, and it’s no secret that even in europe, we buy with quite high premiums , that is, estimates, because, well, look at the market, we need it , and accordingly, if you need it, you get a price higher than the rest of the reason, these are all factors, they caused the fact that everything possible went to the market, that is, fuel was needed, and accordingly , everything that burns literally went to gas stations , so we really see that there are a lot of complaints about the quality of fuel, and there is only one recipe that is so good a good ukrainian proverb is that cheap fish is bad

soup, so don't chase after cheap prices, i.e. these ads of dp for 48, it's better not to go there, well , that is, everyone everyone understands, uh, where you need to refuel, and the only indicator is yes. even those vagabonds you talk about they they also learned to disguise themselves. yes, they also have several networks there that are quite presentable. there is also coffee and hot dogs, but the only indicator that remains today in order to be more or less sure of the quality is the price, that is, a cheap price, where there is always a risk that's why, uh, saving now, i think well, it's just impractical and very dangerous. i understand that they will creep up when they stop or will be further in a row, which does not affect how the increase in oil prices will affect the price tags at gas stations, good news, uh, the last

two weeks really were a period of price growth, which was caused by the decision of resistance - that is, well, the most powerful oil-producing countries in the world joined them, as well as others such as russia, kazakhstan, azerbaijan , they made a decision to reduce production, and this led to a sharp jump in prices, that is, if we at the end of september, the price was somewhere around $185 per pair, then after this decision at the beginning of october, the price jumped to $97, that is, by almost 15%. and this caused the price of petroleum products, of course, but we see that, for example, this week we see a very good picture, the prices have turned around, and again today, even i see that well, yesterday the price was already 90 dollars. for fuel in the

world, they are not so strong, that is, after all, oil is more of a speculative product and, accordingly, i i think that he reacted more strongly, fuel prices are more oriented towards physical demand and they did not make such jumps, although especially now diesel fuel has become very expensive and, accordingly, this has been caused by the fact that prices in ukraine have also adjusted a little. increased in the group, but i hope or rather i am sure that this process will stop now because the price has turned around and accordingly i think that stability is what will now be inherent in the ukrainian market well, what if after all, there will be some serious fluctuations, will there not be such a fluctuation in the price, will there be another

temptation to somehow prohibit the price from rising , limit it to the maximum bar, and so on, or are there such temptations now, and is this completely now the price is adequate for, for, for, for, for large networks that are not burdensome, relatively speaking well , we really saw that, for example, in the summer, when it was , when in may, state regulation was canceled, the price really increased, and this is a normal market reaction to that that there is a demand there is a supply yes the market works all over the world eh then eh those markups and these earnings at the right station they started to decrease today i can say that in principle they correspond on average to the eh home yield level that was included in the formula of state regulation so today for example on gasoline, there is more markup on the distal one, it is much less, and on liquefied gas it is even

smaller, therefore, if we take the average, we will have the level of m markup, which is basically the same as last year, maybe a little higher because of the fact that everything well, we see that everyone feels that life is more expensive, inflation is quite significant, accordingly , and the costs of this business are also increasing, but this is not critical and, in principle, completely adequate . thank you, mr. serhiy, for the clarification serhiy kuyun, director of the consulting group a-95 was in touch with us, we talked about whether there will be enough fuel and what the prices for that fuel will be. well , first of all, let's talk about what the existing ones will be like, what we will be and what to expect from the prices of food products in particular, whether the change in price affects fuel also for these not for food oleksiy

doroshenko, head of the association of suppliers of trade networks, contact us, oleksiy , good morning, will you cheer us up or upset us, what will happen to the prices? good morning, i didn't hear your question . i'm sorry, the question is ours, what's ours expect , we see that the prices fluctuate, let's say for fuel. well, we understand that all this is interconnected, besides the fact that we have a war, besides the fact that we have a part of the territory there, which was not possible to harvest normally price tags for products, is the village also affected by products of general use for life ? let's put it this way, i can say that all the main risks have already been laid, because what you and i experienced starting from february and ending in

october somewhere all the risks have already taken place, so i can say that now, if we are talking about fuel, it will have an impact, but not significantly because, let's call it that, and the contribution of fuel to the final cost of products is sometimes exceeded. because sometimes it happens, for example, several percent in general, some products are affected by interest rates of up to 10 percent per day. therefore , when the excise taxes were returned, it was clear that, for example, the price of automobile gas will increase by uah 2 per 95. fuel is somewhere up to 5, and this will mean that all manufacturers importers increased the price little by little, they laid these risks, so i would say that there will not be a significant increase, because everything that has already happened we can say that you and i have experienced negative things, your association primarily represents the

interests of ukrainian suppliers, manufacturers, etc. in the meantime, networks can have outlets for, say, imported goods, and i understand that during the war, well, some, for example, there are some brands. well, how about sandor ’s juice, well, in fact, they are. but in the sense that some romanian, hungarian and polish juices just come and they turn out to be somewhere even cheaper than now at the moment what does this mean for your association ? i represented importers, including importers, regarding imports and ukrainian, so i can say that since 2014, since the beginning of the war, it was clear that ukrainian products, on the one hand, were losing a little due to the fact

that there were then already captured territories, at the same time, i can say that the increase in imports was happening little by little sometimes the import of e-e established even 15% of this share of ukrainian products, rather products that were presented in ukraine, and sometimes it decreased to five, because this is exactly the indicator that allows influencing the body at the expense of money because you and i see that sometimes ukrainian producers abused their position and, er, receiving sometimes they could raise the price significantly , but at the same time, precisely the import restrained that, and now we see that since 2018, there have been almost five all well, in ukraine, it used to be for industrial products, that is, in 2018, food products cost the same in ukraine as in the countries of eastern europe, a little cheaper than

, for example, in western europe, but sometimes part of the products, including the so-called social ones, already it costs more in our country than abroad, just the case when imports help lower the price, but this does not apply to things such as bread - this does not apply to dairy products, for example, because here the shelf life is so short that we can produce it in ukraine but in the same time, i can tell you that even chicken eggs, which are now worth almost as much as gold, can be exchanged at currency exchange points, and one chicken egg is one . let's just say that it may be work soon to offer, but at the same time, chicken eggs are now expensive in ukraine cheaper than the same one in poland, and i will remind those who see us that poland is a country with the cheapest food in europe, or in

this case we still have it. prices in ukraine today are a little lower than in european countries, although even before at the beginning of a large-scale war , this was not the case. way cheaper, then we can say that the borscht set , which is used in ukraine to measure the prices, is cheaper in our country, and in connection with the war, it is so. which is several tens of percent and many times cheaper than the same one in poland, but it is already certain that in november we

will import part of the same borscht, sets of other products with you from poland, well, poland is the largest producer of agricultural products in euros , this market supports and thus she does not only the volume is made large. but at the same time, it has and can offer one at the lowest price, and so ukraine has been using the help of poland for many years, and i can say that we should support the ukrainian manufacturer, but we should also not allow the ukrainian manufacturers to abuse it at the expense of consumers, precisely, imports, including from poland, help uh, the change in evaluation is also measured by another uh, not a product, but a finished product, and uh, mcdonald's has returned to ukraine and what's a cheeseburger or a hamburger from a bun big mac, how much did the war in ukraine

affect this index? this is an indicator of the fact that life is returning here as a factor at the same time they can say that it will be interesting to see, after all, as an official key and index index battle in the country, it is certain that room rates will still be lower than in european countries, although practically everything that they invest in poppy because it is imported, sometimes it was produced at, but now it is certain to be imported practically everything, that is, this

pigma is almost here. imports have obviously increased, i can say that it is practically in line with everything. it may have increased by heart, but from the volume of sales of ukrainian products today, it is much more affordable for people . despite the fact that the dollar was falling. and this is precisely the next factor that affects cyprus. in this way , it has become more expensive, so that ukrainian products are almost the only ones that can be affordable for the majority, so ukrainian manufacturers understand this, although they can once again remind about that that only ukrainian items, even in potatoes, the import component is 10% 17 and mostly it is labor and everything else we write down so that in

this case we should still do about the fact that we could ensure all production in ukraine in including uh, 51, the same thing is good for us and that loans are also mainly taken in hryvnias and not in foreign currency, so that they simply import dependence, we still need to fight it, well, but the essence is a good idea. i remember that at the beginning war is a rather paradoxical opinion. maybe that's how it sounded, but pavlo sheremeta said that a well- known ukrainian economist and former minister of the economy and that if, mavka, we still go to the european union of the european union, then we could eventually even although now for example, we remove restrictions on imports, even though i am a war. i understand that this sounds very

radical, but we also have to understand that competition is healthy competition. the question is whether ukrainian manufacturers can now compete in a healthy way at a time when in ukraine is being shelled at a time when there is a war , that time is probably when the logistics inside the country are complicated anyway. here, but, the very thought that these are good thoughts for economists and theorists, but for practice, i can tell you if you want completely what is left in ukraine, open the entire page, although i can say that uh, to date, imports practically do not fall on imports - filing their place with taxes so that any products in ukraine. so we already live practically in an open market, but when we we are talking about a country that lives well, look at their tax policy, they are taxed from all sides, that imports

entered the market of that country only after domestic products cannot fill all the gaps , so in this case, when we are talking to you about the high standard of living in poland, and in the coming years, poland will still join the club of the richest countries in the world. poland is just a good example, which protects its internal market . and everything else, i'm sorry, i don't take e-e for internal use, if you and i do not set an example for those countries, then we will always feed and create jobs in other countries, do you want to submit the smoke here we want ukrainians to live in our country and not to move and not receive higher wages in poland or in germany, and this is precisely the case in which there is also an

open or slightly limited market, there are no free markets as such, you know in theory, which were somewhere inside from the 20th 20th century, to date, the markets are practically closed and even the world market is collapsing, there are so-called regional markets, we see that the european market is separate, the asian market is separate, even the american market is closing more and more and losing our advantages, so in this case, let's still talk about practice, but not beautiful things that may sound beautiful, but unfortunately, they will still lead to the fact that we will receive less than people in other countries . it is not necessary, it is primarily about healthy competition in order for the quality to correspond to the price and for

ukrainian manufacturers to compete with the best manufacturers of the european union, mr. oleksiy oleksiy doroshenko, chairman of the association of suppliers of retail chains, they talked with him about what kind of prices for products we should expect, they also talked about the borscht kit, by the way, in yakutia, families of newly mobilized mobs will be given a borscht kit as a one-time aid before giving out any fish. if you see a frost, you can contact it is there in the support center for the families of svu participants or our own, how are we there and get cabbage, potatoes, carrots , beetroot and onions, it’s true. i don’t know if they cook borscht or cook something else that is impossible, i haven’t tried them and i hope i never have to try this is the end of our regular hour, there will be another one, and now iryna kovali, a fresh selection of news from her, let's see. thanks les, i'll tell you about it in just a moment
