no one has any doubt that this is a figure that today just needs to finally disappear. i have another short question in russia . they say that something was not planned there. and in general, it took off like that. what do you think, in fact, such a refusal on random mode to have a dialogue now with putin, you know what this indicates . so this is just another example in uh, so to speak, in many others was happening in moscow with such a thing that happened later at this meeting of the odkb, what happened later at the g20 or 19 , we see that russia is losing its last even theoretical partners, not to mention allies

, it no longer has them. that is, this is the finale of the comedy , only further, and where is the genre, that is, i think that from this we can conclude that putin has no one except iran and north korea. thank you very much, mr. volodymyr, for joining. i wish you a good evening . take care. volodymyr gruzko is a diplomat. minister of foreign affairs in 2007-2009 of the center for the study of russia, actually about russia, both researched and unresearched, but so toxic. we talked, well, now is the time to talk about money in wartime, and my colleague oleksandr marchenko has selected the most important, most objective things for you. congratulations, oleksandr, please. good evening, vasyl. thank you, i really have my finger on the pulse of energy issues, as well as new taxes await ukrainians, maybe new taxes about this not only in a moment, i am oleksandr marchenko. i welcome this

column about money during the war and i start with an important figure of today's economic day therefore, the european union will increase the special fund through which assistance is provided to our state, this is stated in a statement on the website of the council of the european union, the financial upper limit of this fund will be increased to two billion euros next year and to 5 and a half billion euros by 2027, according to the high representative of the eu for foreign affairs of politics and security of jose and borel, the decision will allow the continuation of specific military support to the armed forces of ukraine for most of the energy system after the latest russian shelling they have already restored, but the generating capacity is still insufficient. this was reported by the chairman of the board of ukrenergo volodymyr kudrytskyi.

after the enemy attacks, it is not possible to fully use the thermal power plants for their restoration . it will take some time this week. power plants, then of course there will be less shortage of electricity for now, unfortunately, it remains at a high level. well, really, because of massive rockets the attacks of the russians in ukraine damaged all heat and hydroelectric power plants. this was reported by the prime minister of ukraine denys myhal. 40% of power lines were also damaged to varying degrees. let's listen to his quote . there is still a significant power deficit in ukraine's power system. after eight waves of missile attacks in the country , all thermal and hydroelectric power plants are damaged to varying degrees, 40% of

high-voltage network facilities, each of us must realize that we will go through this winter with significant restrictions on electricity consumption, by the way an important figure was mentioned by the head of the government today, that in order to restore the already damaged power grid substations as soon as possible, ukraine already needs 1 billion dollars. but the european union has enough gas for the winter, but it may face a fuel shortage already next year, this may happen if russia further reduces fuel supplies on the continent, such forecasts were announced by the international energy agency, analysts called on eu governments to take measures to save energy and expand the use of current as soon as possible from renewable sources, i.e. the energy of the sun , wind and water to the word ukraine has a great potential for the development of alternative energy

- this is one of the priority directions for investments after our victory, of course, it is interesting that in the verkhovna rada an inter-factional association was created that will work on finalizing the concept of the radical tax reform known as 10-10, in an interview with economic pravda, the head of this association, people's deputy maryan zablotskyi, confirmed what kind of initiative this is and what improvements is it necessary and timely at all to introduce tax innovations during the war ? we will talk about this in detail with the head of the expert analytical council of the ukrainian analytical center boris kushniruk . innovations, taxes, all 10 10 were criticized, and in particular by business, now this initiative needs to be refined, is it time to change the tax

system during the war, because taxes now go to the treasury treasury essentially finances the approach of our victory, finances the armed forces of ukraine e-e business pays taxes in advance now so that there are funds in the state budget, is it worth reducing the rates of certain taxes now, your opinion, and in my opinion, discussing and taking steps to implement the radical tax reform is expedient and expedient why should i do this now? back in the spring, i wrote an article about the tax system during the war and the post-war period, where i explained why direct taxes, income tax, tax goes to individuals of the euv it is necessary to reduce in some cases to clean at all. well, for example, in the combat zone. excuse me, where is the territory that is under daily shelling, who can sleep there? the euv can be an olive tree. excuse the fact that people work there, that there are employers who let people work. this is already a certain feat and that's why there is the implementation of this

tax, which, well, the euv even submit a social contribution, which are related to pension security, which pension security of people who can daily combine to die from shelling, therefore, definitely a-a it is possible to discuss what is needed and it was possible to do it since the spring, it is another matter that the option proposed by colleagues 10-10, in my opinion , really needs very, very significant revisions because it is extremely unbalanced, it is balanced according to logic e center of local self-government self-government i asked the authors of this idea of ​​the law, i asked the question and you discussed with the local self-government your concept at the expense of which they will survive if you reduce the tax on the income of individuals if what are the key tax for them income budget you have compensators , there are no compensators, there is also a question regarding the interest rate

on the profit of enterprises that are proposed to be brought under the tax on the capital, the idea is that after bringing the tax on the withdrawn capital , it should be reduced to a level that is now acceptable from the point of view international legal agreements that the corporate tax rate cannot be less than 15%. i.e. it should be 15%, but from the implementation of capital withdrawal tax. that is, you pay this tax only when you enter funds. if the funds remain in the business, then you don't pay it and as for the most significant, in my opinion, remark about the vat rate and what if we look at the tax system of ukraine, we will choose for the 20th year when all the data is in the state statistics and the ministry of finance, we have tax revenues on added value and the axis is 63% of

tax revenues, this is without taking into account euv, or there is a separate logic for paying this tax, so it is 63 revenues, therefore, if you want to halve the vat rate, again without any compensators , then you are hitting everything with you for sure there will be income for funding of the state, so again i proposed to take a completely different path, i proposed to reduce the vat rate to 15%, but instead, firstly, for socially significant food products of a certain group of products, to reduce the rate to 7%. and at the same time introduce a sales tax at the level of 5% in which it should go to local budgets, in this way you would create a compensator for the fact that you have a reduced rate of personal income tax revenues thank you for what i offered and unfortunately i emphasize that

i consider it in the form in which it is now this concept is proposed, it is such that it reveals the reform itself sooner than it facilitates its implementation. thank you, i hope that your advice will be taken into account by the working group that will finalize this initiative. i continue to talk about money during the war and finally, at the yagodin dorogusk international road checkpoint on the border with poland, the electronic border crossing queue started working today. there is a so-called queue at the border. it works for trucks, this service will streamline and increase the flow of transport, the government says that carriers will be able to plan where or when they will arrive at the checkpoint, because they will know when it is their turn to cross the border. action began testing

a new service for entrepreneurs, now fops can get an extract from the unified state register online , this is one of the most popular documents for business , and its digitization has begun to get you need to go to the cnap, then pay the administrative fee and wait for it to take effect. you can get it remotely without visits to state institutions for uah 90 instead of uah 120 and with payment by card simply on the portal. currently , current or former natural persons entrepreneurs who have an electronic signature well, at the very end, there is positive news, the food manufacturer nestle invests almost 39.5% in the production of vermicelli in ukraine, a new enterprise will open in smoligov, volyn region. this is reported by the forbes publication journalists also write that the swiss company

has decided to expand production in ukraine together with the factory in torchin, the facilities in volyn will become the company's european regional hub for the category of culinary products, the main consumers of vermicelli will be both ukrainians and other european markets, and interestingly, this will be arranged at the new facility and a half thousands of citizens, no matter how they say that there is a war, investments will not come to ukraine, investments are coming, jobs are being created, and this is only pleasing. this was the last information from the economic front for today, i'm oleksandr morshchevka, goodbye, the big broadcast continues. watch us. let's see how people who suffer from rheumatism and arthrosis live. it's changing . i applied dolgit in the morning. now let

the dolgit cream relieve pain, reduce swelling and improve joint mobility, because the only thing that breaks the joints is yellow cream for pain in the joints and back, ask at pharmacies good day pharmacy and one social pharmacy dolgit cream 100 g with a 20% discount continue our conversation and now we will talk about the court case, we are adding to the conversation mykhailo zhornikov, co-founder and head of the de jure foundation, mr. mykhailo, i congratulate you , mr. mykhailo, can you still hear me, can you hear me? court you wrote about this what can we say based on your evidence because you feel it very well to understand what is happening in the judicial system and what threats are the most important well, we are already voicing it for the general public before that i would like to ask about this story from because the state department of the united states of america announced

the introduction of well, this was a little earlier. it was a little about the introduction of sanctions against the head of the oask , pavlo vovka, and also two of his closest family members. this is already a sufficient signal for the ukrainian authorities to do something about vovka, please. i hope that it is enough, because well, actually, i don't know what else has to happen, first of all, from the point of view of the fact that he himself, i'm sorry, headed it, as they say, ah, and secondly, from the point of view of the radio of our international partners and, well, everyone who the situation in ukraine, its victories and the rule of law, will not recover at all because, well, it is absurd when this court tried to return yanukovych here in february , when russia was supposed to come here to kyiv, and they talked about it not only about it, they filmed a detailed investigation by the journalists of the schemes, yes, about it also, the secretary of the rnb, danilov, has repeatedly said publicly , that is, this information that the nbu has at least uh,

and despite all this, no one will liquidate this court, which has made dozens of anti-ukrainian decisions and about the ban on stopping army reforms decommunization and about a lot of other things about prescriptions and history textbooks for the agreement of the tailor and so on. that is, this is a court that has repeatedly proven that it is absolutely anti-ukrainian in nature and that it directly played along with the enemy in february and is now officially our the main ally in this war defines this voice of the court as the one that imposes sanctions on him as the one that participated in corruption, the adoption of non -judicial decisions and sanctions his closest family members, well, that is, we now have er, a court with a sanctioned, that is, with a head, for the first time in ukraine, the head of the court on which sanctions were imposed by our main ally. this is simply absurd. i still hope that there will be deputies tomorrow. by the way, 20 months has been lying in the dust in the verkhovna rada

. i hope that the deputies will get to him, i can only imagine how many certain cases judge vovk has with some people in politics who are currently in office, and maybe this is the only way to explain the fact that he remains so untouchable, but there are let's see how the situation will develop. well, you see, the uoc mp, which was untouchable for a very long time, was a church that was untouchable for a very long time, in fact, the russian church in ukraine now, well, at least there are sanctions , there are searches, some detentions are happening, maybe we will finally live to the point that the untouchables will be stripped of their inviolability. judge vovka, i would like to ask about, i hope, the situation with the constitutional court. and you wrote about what if the situation develops, how it is developing now with the prospective appointment of judges and this expert council that has to check their integrity. let's say that if it happens as it is planned now, then the actual constitutional court will be

completely subordinated to the unconstitutional and to certain officials. has anything changed in this process or not? please, unfortunately, it has not changed. if it has changed, it is not the best, because what should the government have done to take into account the comments, unfortunately, the comments are already public, eh, gsaven, eh, that is, the big seven or the group, the family is directed, which are our main ones, which are the main economies of the world in which there is our main international partners, the usa, great britain, and the european union, and they already publicly announced on friday evening that draft law 762 should take into account the decisive vote of independent experts, because it is precisely for the independence of the constitutional court that the reform of the constitutional court is being done instead of the committee of legal policy and justice preserved the formula in which of the six members of the commission that should select judges of the constitutional court, three are proteges of politicians and the judicial mafia, in fact, the congress of judges

, that is, the history of politics that will not pass there is no candidate for this commission for whom three representatives of the authorities will not vote, this means that in the constitutional court there will be only those who are 100% satisfied with the authorities, as of today there are five judges in the constitutional court who are already controlled by the authorities, there are five more five vacancies now there are already vacancies in two judges' departure, three from the verkhovna rada, this means that if this draft law is voted on tomorrow, the chances of its success are extremely high , it is on the agenda tomorrow, this means that it will be opened tomorrow, in fact, the door for political appointments of five more judges, it will be 10 judges literally in a couple of months and this is already the majority in the constitutional court from the 18th, which can approve anything and early elections and any changes to the constitution and cancel by the way, many reforms and anti-corruption court and judicial reform and

many other things, if the political power wants it, the political power can want it because, unfortunately, andriy smirnov, who is directly related to andriy portno, is still responsible for judicial reform in the president's office. therefore, the situation is very threatening i call on all deputies who care not only about the judicial reform of european integration, which can easily fail due to this draft law, i will repeat it again. it does not meet the requirements and the public positioning of the public requirements of the group of seven countries not to vote for this draft law, because it threatens both judicial reforms and european integration as well as in the principle of democracy in ukraine well, as you know, we are very actively calling and such directly fiery words are heard from the university and the head of the government and from the office of the president and from the verkhovna rada when the question it was about the allocation of 18 billion euros in ukraine from the european commission, when hungary was against it, well, it was immediately there, but no, we are at war, and people give this money, then the united states foresees

more than 30 billion dollars in the budget for ukraine, and when they say , let's somehow come here, we to do something. well, in our country, you immediately know that some people’s ears are blocked and they don’t seem to hear, but it’s clear right away that now our partners will not beat us with money, because this money is for pensioners, for the army, for, uh, in general, some kind of social life what is the factor pressure and who doesn't hear, i wonder who doesn't hear those words, friends, let's do with the courts according to the process according to the law. about the president if you now mentioned hungary, because this is just a good example of how the government's desire to control the constitutional court can go, because that is what the constitutional court called itself and started its authoritarian course, for example , the prime minister of orba i don't necessarily say that well there are also signs of this government that they want to make the constitutional court dependent, but any government that may come after that, if the very formula in the law is

such that the situational court depends on the political power, then nothing is good for such a country or democracy in this country - it doesn’t shine and nothing as good shines. by the way, in the future, a country that really wants to join the european union, up to 91% of the population in ukraine aspires to it. that’s why it is. well, understand, nobody in the european union needs a friend like hungary unfortunately, ukraine can become if such decisions are made and now, of course, no one speaks on the absolute right, no one speaks, no one can say that we will not give you money for the army, i don’t know if we didn’t give you money for social benefits, everyone is very sympathetic now in ukraine and it is very good and this aid should continue to come, but it still reduces the opportunities for our international partners.

laziness with the european union . at the international level, this will not help ukraine, and these people who want to make the constitutional court dependent and tell everyone that the european union actually approves this version of the draft law are taking advantage of this not true, and the european union is included in the group of seven, which actually spoke out against such a revision, called for a base to be created, we have literally a minute, but i would like to ask for three minutes, we still have the legal committee of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, we will consider two laws number 53- 69 and 53 70 on the liquidation of the corruption commission of the district

administrative court of the city of kyiv, the one we actually talked about and judge vovka, who heads it and approved it as a basis and as a whole. i understand that the committee should still have more representatives from the representatives of the servants of the people, well, this is logical, because they the parliamentary majority is not determined by the time of the people, they also support it in the session hall, what happens next, then please, it is difficult for me to comment on what is related to the session hall, because i have not seen any agenda or a project even on the agenda that would include this law project if it is really true, well, such rumors reached us and tomorrow this will be voted on, god forbid, even though you know here, i want to talk so much to bend, so to speak. this right is possible, and i will say it right away. this is the telegram channel of people's deputy zheleznyak, well, i'm just saying the source. so this is why the people's deputy wrote it. i will only congratulate if it happens, but it should not replace or close the story with the constitutional court, because the

worst thing is, well, not the worst thing, i don’t want us to exchange one thing for the other. and you should have the constitutional court dissolved, it should be independent, not either or, ugh, thank you very much, mr. mykhailo, and thank you for joining in and talking about important things, mykhailo zhirnakov, co-founder and chairman of the board of the de jure foundation, these are very important things, because a lot now depends on the decisions of judges of various courts of different instances, and it will depend on this a lot in the future, and there will definitely be support now in ukraine, we are fighting, our army is fighting, we are all going in this war, but in any case, in the future, no one will give money to those who can steal, and here it is very important that there should still be the rule of law in ukraine, because we fight not only so that the enemy expel from here to live by european standards of civilization and natalka didenko will tell us about what the weather will be like in ukraine tomorrow just now synoptic hello everyone, we are starting our next synoptic meeting and here

we are starting our next synoptic meeting and are ready for you together with my expert and assistant and as a consultant, as a cat, and as a pimp, to tell you about the upcoming weather, well, for the last few days, this air, our meetings are always accompanied by such an apple-monkey pose, such an impression sometimes some kind of toy is lying down, it is a real live cat alman, he works in this way on the future situation synoptically and thinks about it, and before we talk about the future weather of the next day, we will travel a little as usual lately in ukraine and today we will take a look at the village of trikraty, which is in the mykolaiv region, and we will always find interesting facts there again, and we will put in our notebooks where we must visit after the victory, where we have not yet been. so, the village

of trikraty, which is in the mykolaiv region, is a family estate of the cossack family in the skarzhynsky family, and victor skarzhynskyi of this family was known as a ukrainian battalion commander in those days, in ancient times, russian colonization encountered very strong, one might say even desperate, resistance from the ukrainian cossacks , and the tsarist government gave these lands to russian landlords, which of course caused a huge, to put it mildly, the discontent of the local people and the trikraty , this name was formed from the fact that the ukrainian cossacks rebelled three times against this russian arbitrariness even then in three times there were three paint, a forest with a lot of paths, bridges, uh, and it was he who got such a name, the labyrinth forest was laid out in 1819 by viktor skarzhynskyi, actually, this botanist, whom i already mentioned, is a very interesting fact that the enormous incredible value of this

tract, the old, powerful, ancient times, there are more of them 350 ce, later the park grew into such a man-made , one might say, artificial forest, which got its name from the village of trikraty, and the forest ce has such a tract as part of vasyleva's apiary. the labyrinth, in fact, which we mentioned was the summer farm of skarzhynskyi and the myrons the garden is the only place in the mykolaiv region where colonies of gray herons live, there is also a unique object, an old estate of the 18th century with a family coat of arms of skarzhynske and not far from the village of trikraty, there is an actor's canyon it seems that in miniature it resembles the famous american canyon such beauty is so interesting we have all kinds of historical places and landscape, see what we are proud of.

according to the prognostic chart, the situation is quite calm , so there is nothing special to say about it. we are just observing and smoothly moving to the synoptic situation. now the atmosphere has become so wild, it is not a joke, therefore, of course, special attention is paid to the weather. therefore, in the coming days in the western part of ukraine, the air temperature will be, well, uncomfortable and not uncomfortable i would say in a word as for winter it is normal -1 -3° c maximum cloudy weather will prevail in the northern part of ukraine also the recent ten and 11° heat is not it will also get colder here tomorrow and the maximum air temperature is also somewhere -1 -3° in sumy oblast, snow finally in the northern territories , mostly just cloudy, wet weather in the east of ukraine, the weather is complex and heterogeneous . rain will still remain there, atmospheric

fronts will remain as the temperature approaches lower degrees, rain may turn into wet snow in the central part of ukraine, and the weather will prevail with precipitation, wet, windy where the air temperature will be lower, there may be wet snow, according to the snow sticking to it, the situation is difficult on the roads, and in the south of ukraine it will be relatively warm plus two eight in the crimea up to +12°. therefore, tomorrow, december 13, rainy weather will prevail there. and in kyiv on december 13, andrii is expected to have cloudy weather, but the air mass is still humid, because there may be fog and the remnants of recent precipitation will increase this humidity, the air temperature is low , cold - 2°, and icicles very, very slippery on the situation is not easy on the roads and on the sidewalks

, so take care of yourself, help each other with a kind word carefully. follow the synoptic situation on the espresso channel for weather information. we will see you tomorrow at 12-15 in the worldview project. do not miss it, it will be interesting, i will conduct it for you for now i say take care of yourself good night and for your attention a news release from my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news good evening we are from ukraine from ukraine live broadcast from london my name is me
