uh, maybe somehow posthumously we will learn something . why are there so few of these heroic stories, or are there not enough of them? do they have to be? well, i am coming to you as a historian who also surely sees how it is written now, this is a very important page in the history of ukraine. well, i will tell you as a person who does not have a history education, i will tell you that, er, definitely the stories of fighters need to be told, and, unfortunately, it often happens that they are told posthumously, but there are certain nuances here. do, for example, fighters want to tell these stories themselves? experienced some kind of traumatic experience, she doesn't really want to talk about it, or she is a professional military person, she doesn't run for laurels there , that is, it's also a question of what they themselves want to tell about themselves, and yes, i definitely agree with you, and if there is a desire of these people who

perform this work. many of them will tell their stories after the war, because it is related to the performance of tasks that are not needed now in numbers and so on. to tell the stories of the fighters, the individual stories of the fighters, and there are a lot of such complex and interesting grammatical stories. i think that we will gradually learn about them. yes, i agree if it is necessary to honor the living heroes too , thank you very much and thank you our heroes for what you do every day in the mud, in the cold and in danger, uh, we understand the price of everything. thank you, mr. oleksandr oleksandr slonko, a military communication specialist, a member of the bakhmut defense, was with us. this is our hour one with andrii savchuk ends, but it begins now

, economic news with andriy yanitsky and then we will be back. thank you, colleagues, today there is a lot of economic news, both positive and not so andriy yanitsky with economic news on espresso live as usual at eight we start in the morning and there is a repeat at 23:00 there already in the recording of the program, it comes out when it is convenient for you . there are countries of the european union that have agreed on aid to ukraine. the 27 member states of the european union all together supported the provision of 18 billion euros in aid to ukraine next year. this is reported on the website of the european

commission . billions of euros of direct budget support every month. well, let me add that it is only about the european union and other countries that are helping ukraine for two months of systematic russian attacks on ukraine. through rockets and drones, it was possible to damage almost half of the entire ukrainian energy system, they destroyed 45 substations of various voltage classes, 87 high-voltage power lines stretching for thousands of kilometers. attacks well, he will not give up his intentions to completely destroy the ukrainian energy system well,

explosions were heard in kyiv this morning in the central district of the capital but the results are not yet known for sure . the verkhovna rada allowed a business to store more than 2,000 liters of fuel for generators without a special license. storage of larger volumes is allowed on the condition that a declaration is submitted to the state tax service. the adoption of the initiative is related to the fact that the current legislation provides for responsibility for legal entities for unlicensed storage of gasoline and diesel fuel for violation fine of almost uah 500,000 deputies removed this norm for the period of martial law and for another 30 days after its end positive news about prices yesterday we talked a little about it. so in november, consumer inflation remained practically at the level of the previous month, it was 26.5% , the national bank reported that this is due to

an increase in the supply of products, the release of part of the ukrainian territory, the sale of goods and a certain strengthening of the hryvnia, analysts note that, although products became more expensive the production of which requires large amounts of electricity, which is not surprising, as well as goods that need to be stored in the cold, in particular, meat, milk, confectionery non-alcoholic drinks and hot drinks became more expensive, in addition, the prices of imported products continued to rise, this mainly affected fish products and olive oil, and the price increase of non-food products accelerated, we are talking about clothes and shoes, more than 60% of ukrainians will spend at least part of their money on christmas holidays to help the armed forces forces of ukraine or victims of the war, the process is shown by the survey results of the deloitte audit campaign, the estimate of almost half of the citizens

for holiday shopping ranges from a thousand to five thousand hryvnias will buy mainly the most necessary food products for children clothes and shoes the lion's share of consumers will ignore products whose manufacturer or seller has not left the russian market the main place for holiday shopping will be large supermarkets and shopping centers and the update in the application is very useful for internally displaced people persons in just a few clicks and without filling out a bunch of documents will be able to change their place of residence or cancel their status as an internally displaced person, two new services have appeared in the application, they are automatic, because the process takes place without the participation of a civil servant, so there is no need to wait for an official’s decision, said the minister of digital transformation , mykhailo fedoriv. however, it is important to physically be at the place of the temporary place of experiencing the experience in

order to confirm your geolocation. associate expert of the analytical center of the case of ukraine yevhen dubagrys and financial analyst of the isu invest group mykhailo demkiv greetings greetings good morning yesterday the meeting of the verkhovna rada of ukraine was very productive, they adopted a bunch of decisions. well, the most disputes i have seen in social networks. this is the law about the media. well, it is clear. as a journalist, i am interested in this, and it is the law on construction and the urban planning industry. we can do something about it. today, we have not yet seen the final documents to say about this, and let us, yevgeny, shall we just record that there are such laws and that we must

study them carefully, well, read them carefully. regulated certain relations in the field of mortgages in the field of new construction under the name t-091, and all this must be looked at in a complex way, and when we look at it in a complex way, it seems to me that these are not very good bills. in the end, what was adopted is at least what was it was adopted yesterday er, it er, in a certain way simplifies the conduct of illegal construction of the so-called construction itself. to local communities by the local self-government body in order to stop or even demolish the construction, by and large, you know how

aptly someone wrote that if a high-rise building is now being built in your yard on the site of a children's playground, then you can't do anything about it because if the construction permit has already been granted in some way and to cancel it as it is now how could it be canceled before now it is no longer possible, in fact it is not possible if the permit is, it is still not revoked so i would advise just once again it needs to be looked at in detail, and many people, including specialized experts, especially express their dissatisfaction with such draft laws and ask him to finalize them anyway. well, these draft laws have not come into force yet, because the president has to sign them theoretically, the president can apply honey to the draft laws, mr. mykhailo, is this theoretically possible that if the laws do not enter into force, they will be sent for revision. well, everything is possible if

there is sufficient public outcry against it, but considering that both draft laws were developed for several years and were put on the first reading even before the start of a full-scale invasion. so, for sure, their idea is accepted. if we talk about from the point of view of the economy, look at the situation, that is, nordic science tells us that you cannot have everything at once, so there is a limit to the number of resources, the number of bla and it is impossible to have at the same time a good, beautiful city with low buildings with a lot of space and at the same time have cheap housing, unfortunately, ukrainians are not super wealthy and accordingly, due to including the tool of e-e corruption, we have otaku building as we have it, not because

dictionaries are greedy , although it is often the case. i understand that with this draft law or several others, there is such a sub-balance, we admit that we cannot afford a nice city now, but we need a lot of housing, is this right or not, it is up to the legislator , they decided. yes, i would suggest one more time make such a relaxation for developers somewhere on the other hand, they have to strengthen the requirements for their financial condition, for the transparency of their business, so it is no secret that very often they take money from one project and transfer it to another, and as a result, we see incomplete construction . er, this side of their activity

should be taken more seriously, so i think that it is possible to compensate for the negative effects of the adopted draft law. well, as far as i can remember, i can only name the center of the house of mr. wojciechovsky under different names in kyiv and summer brands appeared, uh, also arcade, uh, unfinished works are still standing, well, maybe ukrbud, well , you can still call a bunch of them like that in every big city, uh, i'll add that literally overnight, a petition demanding the president to withdraw this law was collected more than 25,000 necessary votes and well, yesterday when i fell asleep there were already 20, closer to 26, it seems that thousands may have reached 30 overnight, but nadiya, as mr. yevhen correctly said, i don’t have enough for that, and well, mr. mykhailo, because the law the head of the servant of the people faction, olena shulyak, made a great contribution she is an influential deputy, she is also in our

program, we talk about such topics on friday, we will talk more about this law on urban planning . in the life of trouble, e-e arrested 660 million uah in the accounts of a company connected with him, the media informs, in particular, economic truth writes about this. why is this happening? ihor kolomoiskyi, who was considered a sponsor of the e-e election campaign of president volodymyr zelenskyi, is now in disgrace, so they say that his passport was taken away by the ukrainians, then his oil companies become state-owned, and now there is also this arrest on the accounts. mykhailo, let's continue with you. well, we can record here such an increase in the activity of the bank in various

ways . it seems to me that claims in the energy sector against various people, including mr. kolomoiskyi, have been for several years now, and now the results of the claims have turned into something, and here this news is probably a continuation preliminary on e-e adoption of the law about the media in which the european commission, e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.s. then he is definitely not an oligarch, and to what extent they

start justifying him or attacking the government, we can probably see this in the near future, although perhaps everything is not right here, since some journalists did not name it, but rather media people from the orbit of the oligarch are already somewhere publicly complaining that the non-fulfillment of financial obligations to them may not be all right. okay, i missed this very interesting rumor from the market . the company received electricity and thus caused damage to the state, mr. yevgeny, in a wider context, why is he so influential? well, if you don't want to say business oligarchy, a big businessman and systemically now succumbs to such things. hmm, i don't i will say persecution. yes, but the attention of

investigative bodies has increased to his businesses, are there political motives here, or was it really necessary to do this a long time ago? well, firstly, yes, it should have been done a long time ago, and secondly, we have a public demand for the fight against oligarchs and what's wrong with the government, what do i like about it? yes, it really fulfills public demand, if there is dissatisfaction among people, some sense of injustice, it would be correct to say that the government reacts to it, and to the oligarchs to the richest people, whose fortunes are, in principle, the majority of those who do we call oligarchs, are they earned or not earned on energy, on gas, on not very legal from the point of view of the law and common sense , there is dissatisfaction with this, then other branches of government, other law enforcement agencies react, and the same from the highest authorities reads from the president and his the environment also sends signals that this is how it should be

done, it increases the ratings of the president and his team. some loud things, confiscation of funds, confiscation of passports, interrogations, suspicions, and all these things are perceived positively in society, that's why the government is doing it. i think this is a very good step at this stage. bills , let's talk about simpler things, here the verkhovna rada allowed to store up to 2,000 e-e liters of fuel for generators without a license, and also e-e canceled taxes on sterling and on generators if you import them to ukraine, do such economical ones work

incentives for the benefit of the state, yevgeny. is this the right action, deputies? i would say yes in peacetime, it is wrong, because vat and we should be the same for everyone. there, the size of the shopping center. economic laws, but during the war, during the war , temporary certain points are really needed the decision is not the first decision when, uh, part of some equipment or part of goods is canceled. and temporarily, the main vat, remember at the beginning of the invasion of russia, vat on imports and imports was canceled in the same way, and here it is now a necessity, i will not say that the prices on generators or fuel will somehow fall very significantly , probably because business also wants to make money there, but at least they will not grow as rapidly as we saw how they grew and after all these shellings and regarding the storage of fuel for business, the increase of this limit is just

that it has been a long time coming the law that was uh what norms were they simply already physically outdated, especially under the conditions that we have now , it was simply necessary to update it, which the deputies did, well, finally, at least the war is pushing to do what it should have been done a long time ago , mikhail, and your last reply for today is also on this topic: generators and the abolition of taxes . empty about licensing, the state regulates like this, not trusting its citizens, believing that its citizens will fool it, that is why it was possible to keep no more than 5 liters

of fuel at the enterprise because they are afraid of all kinds of frauds and when an emergency situation occurs, a deputy has to suddenly not react. we already went through this in 2020, when restrictions on alcohol were eased, as a result, a large number of businesses quickly got their bearings and made these hand antiseptics, and now we have a completely different situation, but it is similar, the way the regulator works is similar, the legislators are relaxing things and we can, accordingly, companies be able to keep more fuel for their generators, which is definitely correct, or will prices decrease due to reducing taxes no, because when you have sky- high demand at the same time, prices rise significantly more than taxes, the official role plays and until the market does not bear this situation, no, no, it is not wrong, this situation is not changing, but was it

right to cancel taxes? i agree with yevhen yes because it becomes er a little cheaper for er purchasers, they do not spend on vat on excises and they can buy more generators for the same amount of money and bring more of them, they need less working capital for this accordingly, there are more generators in ukraine , the situation is improving a little. thank you experts for your comments. mykhailo demkiv , a financial analyst of the icu invest group, and yevhen dubogres , an associate expert of the analytical center of case ukraine, were with us today. that the retail price depends on supply and demand and not on the cost price, so if the demand is high and the cost price has decreased, this does not mean that the price holiday will decrease unfortunately, the demand for generators is high due to the russian shelling andriy yanitsky

russian rus is not what we have to give away. look at those marmeses, that's pure me i read the mongols and nothing more, nothing less. look at the same putin on that horse, god, how was that year 2009, he was like that. a mongol on his horse goes around there in lan vatra, the neighborhood can . no comparisons looked at putin on a horse and and the national ones are just a slipper. by the way , we will show the video a little later. recently, putin decided to repeat his feat of getting on a horse and riding it surrounded by trained girls who were supposed to pick him up if something went wrong . petro andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of mariupol, is with us now, mr. peter. good day to you. good morning. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes, mr. peter . to get electric

heaters, is there a place to connect these electric heaters in mariupol, firstly, and secondly, to distribute them to the occupiers for free. a big story with electric heaters. well, perhaps the most important thing is that today there are no electric heaters at all for a week, so there are no queues, in fact, there is a story sad sad because on the one hand they really brought electric heaters , and they brought there russian pseudo-volunteers , let's say so, because this process was managed by such odessa traitors who coincided back in the 14th year before there is no dmitry in russia. they organized such transportation to mariupol, brought about 7,000 electric heaters, launched the process of online registration for applications, when they received more than 20 e-e applications for electric heaters from mariupol, they actually admitted that they could not provide just such a need and said, "i'm sorry, they did

n't do anything." we can uh, the second component of this story consists in the fact that, as if from words, according to the information that came from donetsk directly , uh, the occupation authorities of the donetsk region passed there is a certain number of heaters over there, several thousand, but they issued 160 of them for some reason. and that is why we are considering once again whether it is worth removing the talking head ivashchenko from his position, well, let's see how the matter will end, but in fact it is really cold and there is a big problem with electricity, that is, the day before yesterday as a result of the humidity of the rains and electric heaters, the lights just went off almost all over the city, so far they have not been restored, so even those who have electric heaters have a very big problem of using them, and those who use them make it worse

in principle, there is a problem with electricity in the city a little bit. let's talk about one photo from germany, a photo if you want, which is now circulating around everyone , and i am. this is the infamous drama theater where people died, which the occupiers decided to restore in their own way. they would have brought fabric from with printed portraits of russian representatives of the russian world. in this way, there is another angle. by the way, here it is, as simple as you can see. what it really looks like is dropped from above. the largest that only the russians have and i remember that then because there was an inscription in front of this theater where

children wrote, but that did not stop them. they really created such a good metaphor by painting on this facade on this fence, these figures of russian culture, first of all, leo tolstoy and so on, these figures cover up their crimes and you can often hear there that russian culture is so great, even the pope said about it, well, they can't read dostoyevsky and tolstoy or be really that bad, the metaphor should be remembered by dostoyevsky's crime and punishment on 10 pages, how the same guy killed the russians' civilian grandmother because of the thing about not returning her debts, then a lot of pages about how he hesitates whether he should do it or not. it seems that dostoevsky at one time very well described the portrait of a modern russian, because i really
