special technology in europe , a pulp production line made from fibers of fallen leaves will be operational, the european fund also agreed to additionally invest in the further scaling of the project. according to the approved development plan, relief paper will use investment funds to create two more production lines in different countries over the next five five years, let me remind you that we are talking about two and a half million euros from the european commission deutsche band sent a gift to ukrzaliznytsia - these are 63 generators for setting up work in conditions of electricity shortage. this is the first batch, and already in january - the german carrier plans to transfer another 325 smaller emergency installations. they will provide electricity and heating. railway stations and repair plants

will also use light directly in trains . the so-called vegetables of the borscht set can become more expensive by as much as 20% during the winter, among the reasons for such an increase in prices is a power outage, said denis marchuk, deputy chairman of the all-ukrainian agrarian council in the fall , the situation on the market looked stable, but with the arrival of winter, warehouses began to suffer from new problems related to the war, in particular, from power outages. it will be possible to talk about price stabilization only in april 2023, when greenhouse vegetables will appear on the market. now uh traditional serhii fursa invest banker representative of dragon capital company we are in touch with us summing up the results of the year mr. serhiy vitau so let's compare our expectations from this year on

as of january, before the full-scale russian invasion, and now, what of what you planned then, if you can remember , came true. well, what happened to ukraine? well, come on , everything related to ukraine went to hell, and i liked the phrase chosen by the washington post here about this year. be worse, that is, it really could have been worse , especially if we compare with our expectations already in march, now the situation in the economy is much better, but to compare with what we entered this year with and what we have. well, just physically impossible in ukraine, everything turned upside down in principle, in fact, this year lived up to expectations, despite the force majeure for the world economy due to putin, but what happened was quite expected, well, in general, all the forecasts

given by economists mostly does not come true if we remember the year 2008, no one or almost no one experienced such a large-scale mortgage crisis, if we talk about ukraine, then in 2013-14 the revolution of dignity as well . a surprise for many forecasters. are we somehow getting out of the crisis or not? how did this full-scale war this year affect our trajectory of economic growth? we don't know at what level this year compared to the previous ones. well, i don't know at what level. 15, for sure, we are really a performer, again we passed at the beginning of march, then we recovered, if you look at the third quarter compared to the second, there was quite a brisk

growth, but then the russians attacked the energy infrastructure again have led to a slowdown in economic recovery. if you can play until the economic crisis deepens, and in fact, by spring, we will be in such a bad situation , because without electricity, few people can work and there is a real one, again, a new recovery is expected probably from april onwards. when will it be easier activate economic activity, you were already worse at first, then it will be easier i hope that we will already talk about next year, about expectations about next year, i call on the viewers who watch us on youtube leave your comments, you have a unique chance to ask something directly in serhiy fursa's p. i will voice your question if it concerns the economy. because now there is still a war there. let's sum up the results of the

year, let's remember what was the most interesting. knight , this is more important. this year, i would note for myself the growth of the state's influence on the economy, which is strange during the war and the decline of the influence of the ukrainian oligarchs. it is possible that you also want to say something on this topic. perhaps you will add some more of your observations during the war. the war was the main fact. in fact, for me, the best thing about this year is that we passed it much better than could be expected in march. account, and the hryvnia is much more stable than we could have imagined . i was very pleased with the active support of our western partners, because ukraine was able to maintain the level of social standards at the level before the war, and within the framework of such a large-scale war, the largest since the second world war, it

looks like a real miracle, that's why first there was a tragedy, this invasion was full-scale , and then several miracles happened, and these miracles happened, including in the economy . forced to dispel these fakes that after the energy they will bomb the banking system and it is very funny in fact but there is simply nothing to say about this because the system is much more stable than everyone could discover so this here is a miracle and several other miracles from the point of view that even there, pensions and salaries do not fall, this is a miracle , taking into account the economic and military circumstances, let's say a cosmic or electrical miracle, because at christmas, they did not turn off the lights in many of my friends who were already without

electricity for 20-30 hours and everyone has even learned, i don’t know what to do when there is light or they say to sleep, it’s a sin, you have to be cheerful, do something, and not the light, they don’t turn off and they don’t turn off in the same way in yours . shahedy of the past monday affected both of us because i didn't have much light during the week, but somewhere i turned it on from friday evening, so they still don't turn it off and are already waiting for the floor, and it's not there yet. let's go back to the oligarchs and state influence. how about you? do you think this balance will be maintained for a long time, that the state increased its influence and the oligarchs lost it? after our victory, it is still possible to return to the old rules of the game, before the oligopoly, when the oligarchs actually controlled entire sectors of the economy. it depends on how we will pass the

reforms, in fact, because the role of the state will decrease after the war, because during the war it was simply too big, but then the question is whether the flag of victory will be intercepted by the oligarchs, relatively speaking, or at the expense of the reforms, these are again key reforms and within the framework e.e. imf programs and within the framework of european integration, this is the rule of law and e.e. the fight against corruption. if these reforms are successful and a lot of foreign capital will come to us as part of the recovery, it will simply erode this the influence of oligarchs and business in general will determine the rules of the game, but the influence of each specific oligarch will be minimal if it is possible to do this, if we have a significant influx of foreign investments, we lost this chance in 1991 when we carried out the necessary privatization well, no, in short, they did everything wrong and created these oligarchs and now , de facto, after the war, we have a second chance against the background of this recovery. and if everything is

done correctly, the former influence of the oligarchs will never be returned. broadcast on youtube by a viewer with the last name eh with the name irish irish i understand and ms. iryna asks why the state so stubbornly ignores pensioners who receive minimum pensions because zro prices and pensions do not keep up with prices pensions are not keeping up with the prices, but i would like to remind mrs. iryna that there is a war in the country and everyone. the entire social security system in ukraine this year and the entire social security system in ukraine next year will be paid at the expense of our western partners. it is difficult for me to imagine how it can pass zelensky or finance minister marchenko to biden and say joseph, you help us a lot, you give us billions but we ca n't raise pensions let's give us a little more money to

raise the social standard during the war, it's hard for me to imagine that, in fact, it won't be sooner than all indexation of pensions, yes, it is a problem, yes, it hurts. but this is precisely the result of the war, in fact, and it is simply not possible to generate this money now, if the state prints those funds, because they can deny it, the state is right let the national bank print, if the state prints, then there will be a devaluation, significant inflation, it will depreciate all funds, and from inflation, devaluation always suffers the most, that is, the eyes of poor pensioners, even if their salary is raised now on account of pensions . sorry, at the expense of printed funds, they will lose much more during year viewer maksym maksym with such a nickname, he denies. he does not deny, he says that the hryvnia did not fall only thanks to the fact that we were supported by our western partners, the americans poured money into ukraine he writes, he, er, devalues

​​the work of our financial unit, the ministry of finance, the national bank, or is it only because the americans poured money into ukraine, is the hryvnia stable, or is there some other factor, you know. in mathematics, there is a necessary and sufficient condition for the casting of western money, a necessary but not sufficient condition. that's all. because really, if there wasn't this money, there wouldn't be any stability , now the macroeconomic situation would be terrible . and it's hard for me to imagine what would have happened in our economy if this money hadn't flowed in, because defacto thanks to large-scale, super-scale support, our budget spends no less and even more every month than last year, it was difficult to expect before the war began, so yes, western aid is necessary, but at the same time, the national bank first carried out reforms back in 15-16 th year, what happened as a guarantee of financial stability now, therefore, the reform for which hey phone actually ensured financial stability now, and secondly, it was used from the very beginning, from the first day of the war, conditionally

plan b they had an envelope, they used it prepared, obtained, opened and began to introduce all these restrictions, and this helped to hold the financial system , even if the national bank acted as the central bank of turkey. for example, even western aid will help, but here is the totality of these things and the right steps on the part of the national bank bank even now and during the last many years, it is most important to understand that we entered this crisis in good financial shape if the 14th year, relatively speaking. we got a very deep economic fall and a very deep devaluation, so now you are

facing a bad situation. high reserves and low debt with which we came to the crisis, and as a result, all this together ensured the financial stability that we saw, in fact, we evaluated the work of the contrabank in the past and this year, what it did. and what to say about the ministry of finance ministry of the economy well, in general, about the economic block of the government, how did it work this year? there is a miracle there was a mess with these tax benefits given in march and at the beginning of the war, as it turned out there was actually a mistake and it did not really help the disappearing budget and the authors worked because they reduced taxes or canceled and give benefits, it is always easier than to remove them later because it is a popular

decision to give benefits, but then the deputies are already hesitating. they still remain politicians and think about the elections, although the elections are still close, it is not clear when they will be, but they are afraid to vote for such realistic laws yes, unfortunately they think a lot about the elections and they think that the elections were very soon, uh, the same example with these euro plates, the latest ones, when they pressed, they brought a different movement here, which did not go for the front, but went to simply avoid taxation, and people bought here including expensive cars without taxation, this is a very demonstrative example, and there is still this two percent tax level, which is used by many big businesses, systemic businesses, without paying de facto taxes, and this is not a very pleasant story. therefore, it can certainly be called the only mistake that was made was made, but it is very difficult to blame for it now, because in fact then it looked like a quite logical step, especially since, again, no one

expected that the situation would be so good, when we thought at the end of february, at the beginning of march that there will be savings with each business, so our viewers are animated, they are torn, they are asking additional questions, but ms. iryna is clarifying her questions . that viewer tetyana bila writes that there has been light in odesa for the past few days, i understand that and she is happy about it . she congratulates the armed forces of ukraine. about the next year, what do we expect from the next year, will it be better or will it be worse, here are the forecasts that after the economic decline due to the full-scale invasion,

next year there will be growth, albeit small, but there are assumptions in all forecasts. the minister of economy yulia svirdenko says that under the end of the war and we expect next year we expect growth of 3%. that is, it turns out that if the war does not end , the decline will continue. well, for example, our capital forecast predicts that even for the conditions for the end of the war next year will mathematically result in a drop or the first quarter will be very negative due to a power outage. in fact, all these forecasts are really a thing now because everything depends on the armed forces of ukraine on what will happen on the battlefield and it is serious to predict something well, it is very difficult in such conditions, because it all depends not on the economists, not on the economy, and it is very difficult to predict when we will elect the muscovites. well, it is simply physically very difficult to say when all this will happen, and how much effort is required for this

it will be necessary for that about ukraine now, well, we have a forecast, yes. this forecast foresees a slight economic decline in 2024, which is included in this forecast, and the decline of the first quarter and then the recovery of economic growth, and against the background of the end of the war, against the background of the fact that energy will be better, but now it is like a finger the sky well , after all, there is a glimmer of hope that the economic situation will improve in the spring. thank you, sergey, we will be speaking for the last time this year, next year, the first week of january, the program will be in vacation and from the second week of january we will return to our traditional economic news mr. serhiy thank you serhiy fursa , our investment banker from the company dragon capital spoke summarizing the results of the year and gave evaluations on the work of the national bank the ministry of

finance voiced the questions of our viewers and i am andriy yanivskyi host of the economic news program on the espresso tv channel see you tomorrow at 8 a.m. live on the air together we will win the tropical greenhouses of the grishka national botanical garden are also suffering from russian attacks on infrastructure of ukraine, this is a room of a large hot tub greenhouse for these tropical plants , it is necessary to maintain the temperature at the level of 18-20 degrees, currently heat is supplied here from the city, but in case of emergency situations caused by russian mass shelling , employees are forced to light fires in these barrels in order to at least somehow maintain the temperature to during the full-scale war, the greenhouse was heated by the boiler room of the botanical garden, which allows you to save money

and regulate the temperature of the heat supply. however the plant supplying pellets lost the opportunity to supply them to the botanical garden. this plant, which produced pellets, is also the company that provided us with thermal energy. it was lost in ivanko in the first days of the war. they were rebuilt for a very long time. bottsia, together with the pelik enlayev charitable fund, started the project heat for greenhouses in order to raise funds for the purchase of pellets. entrance tickets that were directed to the communal needs of the academy of sciences, not indifferent to the problems of the botanical garden, we were allocated

uah 1 million and 100 to support primarily utility bills but of course 14 million and 300 million this is a very small amount very recently the exposition greenhouse was connected to of the city's heat network, however, as a result of russian attacks and emergency shutdowns, the heat supply is stopped without electricity, they cannot work and the pumps of the boiler house help out in the furnace of the buleryans, which are used to heat the stock greenhouses stored here collections of unique plants and grown plants that are then transferred to an exhibition arrangement, for example, this is an azalea greenhouse, the first 20 species of this plant came to the botanical garden back in 1946 from germany, and then our auctioneers already worked and received even more 20 varieties of azalea, and if you go to see, read here

you can see the labels at the advent-glouzkin office of professor walter, these are varieties brought with him from germany. in the botanical garden, the azalea is very popular among the guests of the botanic garden, and it blooms in february. so this year, the plant is a flower without visitors. translated from greek, a generally means dry, because when it does not bloom, look, of course, such a bush that you can count the leaves. nothing special, but as soon as it comes here flowering period, this greenhouse is like a garden of paradise, but one plant can open more than 500 flowers at the same time. the staff of the botanical garden urge kyiv residents and guests of the capital not to miss the nearest azalea flowering, which begins with at the end of january and lasts until march, firewood for heating stock greenhouses is collected

by volunteers who are united through a group , volunteers of the botanical garden gather whenever possible several times a week, there is a person who cuts them here. as soon as he gives the order, at least 2-3 trailers will come we are still collecting and working. this is not the first time that arthur has said that he understands how important heat is for plants. my wife is fond of plants. she has a collection at home, so i know what it is like when there are no necessary conditions for plants. that is why i decided to join the stock greenhouse and with the most valuable specimens of tropical plants in the coming days will be heat pumps. we can finally start installing the heat pumps for which vadim keller raised money, and heat pumps are a more modern technology that we will have that will cost us less the heat they will produce will cost less than the central central heat network or our pallet boiler houses, and we

first of all put them in the original stock greenhouses, this is a valuable collection that we have, the value of the collection is that it restores samples in the event of loss is already impossible, the pearl of this collection is a collection of similar ones, tetyana mykhailivna cherevchenko worked for us and created this collection, she traveled to many countries and in those days when it was still possible to go to those countries and select these plants , now international legislation has changed and we it's just that no one will give us such plants anymore, first of all, secondly, there are plants here that are no longer in nature, the kyiv botanical garden at one time even provided specimens of plants from its collection to restore the forests of vietnam where this plant disappeared from its natural environment, but for these pumps to work, the botanical garden needs the help of generators , we would also like a cable here, a powerful cable. we want to make a backup power source

because there are several lines in the garden. the same story. in our large boiler houses, which are currently working on pellets, we really need a 110-130 kw generator there, and we need a cable there. also, in order to make a backup switch, the main task on today to do everything possible to save the plants in the conditions of long-term power outages for greenhouse workers. every night is a challenge. sometimes we have to respond to emergency situations in the middle of the night and stabilize the temperature. the team is very prepared. salaries starting from the director and ending with the security guard, but everyone understands the situation and everyone is determined to somehow preserve the collections, these collections have been collected by people for 50 years and

now we just ca n't afford to lose any specimen. because our mentors gave us this collection, we have to pass it on to our children to help the botanic garden survive the cold first. visit the greenhouses to join the firewood collection. garden, and to help with the purchase of pellets, look for details on the official website of the hryshka bodzat, a unique collection of tropical plants that includes about four thousand items today needs support every ukrainian who cares tetyana litvinova oscar janson specially for espresso on february 24, russia attacked ukraine, ukrainians began to defend their homeland, part of the espresso tv channel team joined the ranks of the armed forces from the first days, journalists, directors, editors

prepare for future starts those who remained with weapons in their hands heroically defend ukraine in this war second place ukraine will not be satisfied. we need victory . everyone from you can help. even a small contribution to the support of the army saves the lives of our soldiers and brings our victory closer . broadcast from washington, the voice of america ukrainian service program is time. i am yulia yarmolenko. congratulations. the ministry of foreign

affairs of ukraine initiated the process of excluding russia organizations of the united nations in the department emphasize that the state of the russian federation acquired membership in the un and received the seat of a permanent member of the security council bypassing official procedures. thus, usurping the according to the ministry of foreign affairs, the place of the soviet union and the actions of russia will discredit and subsequently destroy the entire system of the organization, they say in kyiv, therefore, the ukrainian foreign ministry calls for the exclusion of russia from the zones as a whole, while in moscow they are sure and the russian minister of foreign affairs lavrov said that this is impossible, but what experts think, let's talk about it with my colleague ostap yarosh, who are joining ostap's broadcast. congratulations congratulations. this is not the first ukrainian government to voice calls to deprive russia of the status of a permanent member of the un security council, now it has been officially formalized and you also refer to the exclusion of russia from the un in general, tell more about the arguments that kyiv has, briefly
