it seemed that i should return it to him in one day, and i was there for a few days, the deadline expired and i paid a fine of 30 euro cents for this, by the way, and you managed to pay it off quickly because there is something with german libraries. this is not the first story i have heard. one of our refugees gave an interview i somehow don't remember the online edition and i read that, for example, she couldn't return the books, she forgot them somewhere or something and she wanted to either pay a fine for it or buy new ones there and bring them to the library, but she had to to wait for some documents for months, that is, after all, in you didn't have such a burden of bureaucracy. in fact, i just came with a book. the person politely told me that you should have returned it two days ago, so you have to pay a fine . i asked how much it costs. i said 30 euro cents. i gave a trisection of euro cents. the

librarian went to classes punched them, well, that is, i put them in the cash register from gave it to me if i paid the fine and that's all well, you're lucky i see a lot more because many people complain about this bureaucracy in europe in particular and in the case of the library, please tell me democratic but uh this is uh yes we have a planned guest here i love it when animals come to us last year we had a dog together now a cat what is his name this is a cat from zemfir this is yours by the way yes this my class is a beauty, she is from us, i took her a year ago from the kherson region, from henichesk class, you saved her life beforehand. that is, she was

very lucky for me then, let's talk about animals. fines for cleaning like in germany, were you able to convince her to evacuate calmly, did they not require any special documents from you for this, all the transportation of animals i have, i am still in ukraine, well, it seems that she is microchipped. she has all the vaccinations, the only thing i did was a european passport document because i only had a document of the ukrainian model and i transported the cat across the border without any problems. well, what’s interesting. even at the border, no one asked me for a single document. well, i think that this was simply the second question of the border guards. well, in i was all right, even the document

titrina er rabies god said this against rabies vaccination i just know we are also a dog but well the border guards at two o'clock in the morning they were frankly tired they just looked in the cat carrier they asked for the documents i say yes i uhu rush and you don't have to pay taxes for keeping animals, because a cat is, well, in most cases, an animal has a household that does not leave an apartment for dogs, it is necessary for dogs to be registered at the townhouse, well, it's like mary, and the amount of tax depends there from the city and from the animal itself, yes, from the breed, if it is a small dog, that is, there is a tax from well, it can be symbolic, it can be 20-30 € per year, and if it is

some big dog, or there are breeds that are prohibited, prohibited to keep these , in particular, are fighting dogs, but if the dog is big, there can be a tax of up to 100 € per year, and by the way, how do the neighbors feel, well, you really are a cat, he is a pussy. she may not meow so loudly, but i know that in some countries they even prohibit dogs there after ten o'clock p.m. barking, i don't know, but how do they make the animal shut up, but so that the neighbors don't complain, you know? well, actually, from ten in the evening until eight in the morning, it's the so-called silence mode and the only thing . you can't do anything here honestly, like with animals. i don't know. again, my friends have a

dog, but there. well, the dog is quite enough. she's quite quiet . how to make amends with the neighbors because i've also heard a lot of different things, maybe these are myths, maybe not. that you can't turn on the water there late at night or even use the toilet so as not to make noise. the germans are watching, i don't know, behind all the neighbors' lawns . if nothing else, in fact, there were such cases that they complained to the police, i wasn’t the only one who, uh, again, i live in the suburbs, and there are many such small houses, and i know them, they rent four houses and uh if

this city is big, so a person is paid for cleaning the snow on the territory from the snow. well, just like we pay the utility company. but in smaller towns there, people can choose either in front of the places, or they pay money for it, or they take on this duty and clean under their house the territory on their own, but if they were to take on the whole task themselves , then they have if it snowed there somewhere before eight in the morning, it is there, well, the sidewalk, the territory adjacent to the house, clear of snow, because if a person is vaccinated, he will fall and not god forbid, if she breaks her arm and leg there, she can sue, the court will win, and the one who didn't remove the snow will pay a fine. the girls just didn't know about this prank, and the neighbor came to them when it snowed, well, there somewhere at seven in the morning and they say what girls do you have a shovel, but they don't seem to know snow

, it's the first time we've seen it in the past, we need to remove the snow because, god forbid, someone will go and relearn, then there will be problems for you and your groomer, so please scrape the sidewalk there you didn't have snow yourself of ice so that everything is clean, it is good that they warned ours who do not yet know the rules ms. olena and how do the germans treat ukrainians in general, because there are a lot of refugees from ukraine, they also create competition, including on the labor market, do you feel any kind of hostile attitude or on the contrary, they are very loyal darlings. i didn't encounter any signs of hostility and aggression there. it's important. well, maybe i was lucky, they sympathized with me there, they supported me. usually, well, if that's the case, it seems to me that they are a little less resilient than we are, and that's not in the plan.

there is a great war that we just have tectonic people they are experiencing blackouts there without light water heat there under shelling even there before the great war er we actually lived and live in such a hardcore regime because we we we work a lot in we are really disturbed by this worklife balance with the germans. it seems to me that they would not be able to do that if i simply tell them in the local language how we lived there, how i lived in ukraine in particular, and they ask , olena, why am i saying well, if you work a lot, you have more chances earn and you will have it they have a better life. what about you? life is a job. i say. well, that’s how it is. well, we really have such a problem. people who

work a lot there may not see how their children grow, for example, such stories. the cases related to the support of the russians in russia's war against ukraine, because there is a part of the germans, i don't know the truth, how big it is, who complain that the ukrainians are generally to blame for the increase in the price of electricity, because sanctions have been imposed on the russian federation by the european union correspondingly, we also have deficits and in general are somehow loyal to the russians with those germans who, at least, i spoke with, that is the case even in germany. in the last six months, indeed, for electricity, for food, for some basic things, but that's how they associate it with the war, but they don't say that it is the fault of the ukrainians because our electricity has become more expensive there, and they quite logically connect everything in their heads

that russia is an aggressor, it attacked ukraine , and that is why everything went wrong. we were just talking about electricity mrs. elena, i'm sitting in the dark already, the audience can now see me in the dark well, because we have emergency shutdowns, and that's why if i'm here, i haven't disappeared, the main thing is that you hear me , yes, hold on, they are very well, they understand who is the aggressor and who is defending, what we stand for and what values ​​we do not stand for. it is also interesting that we have a large ukrainian diaspora in germany, is it active? do they support their own? do you

keep in touch with our compatriots ? are you going? maybe for the holidays on the weekend. well , i don’t know, i don’t know. again, it’s a small town. my friends were here for a while. well, actually, thanks to them, i decided to go to this place. so, i got to know the refugees who came there again. before, i couldn’t say what it’s like, you know. well, a powerful diaspora in textbook form. well, we meet . we communicate. charity well, in fact, there were many

ukrainian women who come here, here they again volunteer, someone collects humanitarian aid for the civilian population in the territory that was liberated, someone collects aid for the locks there or for units or for some friends and relatives who are in the ranks of the armed forces a lot of people. well, when the attacks on the infrastructure began and blackouts began, they were looking for generators, and indeed many, well, many generators were bought precisely thanks to the refugees, because people are already more or less oriented about what to write where where to go, where can you buy it but to be honest , the activity has slowed down, now we are somehow used to war and it doesn't hurt like that anymore, maybe it doesn't stick so much that they still try to hold on, i wouldn't say that people are used to war, i would call it that people

they just adapt to the circumstances and try to survive, i can't say that, well , again, i won't speak for everyone, i'll speak for myself. for example, when the next shelling begins, i turned off the application that notifies me of the air raid alarm, but i asked the man who stayed at home to you to me always write so that i want to understand what is happening to you and when the next bombing begins. in principle, i understand that this hurts me . you can get used to it, i'm trying to adapt there too, you don't say that you're bad, you try to smile because ukrainians are really strong there, it's such a unique national brand that we carry to the whole world we intend to take

and do something in any circumstances but here there is literally a minute left, i traditionally ask this question to all my guests. what do you think under what conditions are you ready to return to ukraine and do you want to return? or maybe you have already decided to stay in germany ? conditions, actually, under conditions where i can work, i will know that my family will have a plus or minus there, not that reinforced concrete guarantees of safety and in pieces of bread, but some kind of stability, i will understand that i will not have to pack a suitcase again go somewhere, i wish you and all of us that this period will come as soon as possible, our victory will be a peaceful

sky above our heads and that we will all be able to live peacefully and happily as before in our homeland. thank you very much for an interesting conversation. but the video producer was not from shcherbina with us in direct contact from germany, she came there because of the war in ukraine well, i'll put an end to that see you soon cinema television sport music education free people have a choice choose what you want on megogo plaid found a working store in three letters it's closed, i don't have a light, please, here's this bouquet. you're lucky. it doesn't disappear here. yes, the generator is

is more demand or supply . colleagues tell me what the story is. there's a situation. so far there's no story, then i 'll tell you about the technical problems. let's go. let's start the festive mood with it economic news one of the markets in kremenchuk where this year, as always, you can buy christmas trees, saleswoman natalka sells christmas trees and wreaths made of fir needles made by craftsmen herself ivano-frankivsk felling is going on in the forest, twigs are being left, twigs are being collected and wreaths are being made, this is not on purpose, this is already a healthy

christmas tree that is being cut down in forestry, then you are collecting waste, you are taking these twigs, i am making them. up to 500, depending on the size, mrs. valentina chose a one-meter fir tree for uah 350, expensive, of course. and what if she is in the hospital now, and her grandson needs it, and he needs a year- old paint. tatyana yaka, who sells poltava pine here every year, says that now they mostly buy small trees, for example, a christmas tree, for example, 1.20 m, a meter costs uah 70-200, that is, the prices remained at the level of last year, and since the costs of combustible materials, well, wages have still risen, then we are the prices we do not stay, we trade as the prices were last year, the cheapest christmas trees in the city are offered by the local forest farm, common pine up to uah 90 crimean 135

new year compositions from branches can be purchased here for uah 60 separately, a branch from 15 , experts say they grow trees on in specially designated plantations and only pine, because spruce does not take root on average for sale, they grow for 5 years, they do not have leftovers, because they do not dispose of it, it goes on in the future, there is also a fodder base for sheep, which are also present in some forestry farms. well, we feed and feed sheep they eat them too, they care for them. no , they are needles. they just eat them. they like the label with the barcode on the tree, a sign of the legality of the sale. however, when choosing a new year's beauty, the people of kremenchuk pay attention to another splendor. well, that's what it costs. no, that's not all just as well, pay attention to how much it costs, they didn't compare, they didn't compare, so far it's

sitting for the first time . tomorrow they will go for the christmas trees. here we will find out from our guest whether he has already installed a christmas tree at home. congratulations igor, congratulations you have already decorated the house with a christmas tree no, i have not decorated the christmas tree yet, but i want to say right away that this year, in the past, my christmas tree has passed away . i do not support the national producer. it became like this, i would say

like this, if i don't protect it, then in any case, it is a tradition to decorate these very old christmas trees . to have such a circular economy. how do they say it , or they still use this word circular, when nothing is sent to the garbage and is reused, then you are in the trends of the world economy, mmm, let's talk about the world economy and talk further about the oil barge, which was introduced this year by european countries against russia oil cargo and a price ceiling for those countries that are not part of this invargo, this ceiling works through cargo insurance, i.e. if today there is a cargo of russian oil with a price higher than the recommended then the insurance companies refuse to insure and thus this cargo cannot

get to the port of destination, is this embargo working, are we seeing the effect of these rules, well, the embargo only started working actually from the fifth of december, so we have to wait at least a month to see how does it work or does it not work at all, but if we say, let's see according to the data of the blumber agency, who in the first week after the introduction of the embargo, then, well, i will not say that it is very serious, but in principle, we will be able to e.e. export of russian oil, oil has decreased, and here exactly this situation with the embargo is very interesting, on the one hand, it is really a punishment for russia, it is a sanction tool that is used against the russian federation, on the other hand, the introduction of the embargo is very beneficial , including the european union and those countries that have adhere to why because the lower the prices the less inflation and inflation

today - this is a big problem for the world economy thus we see that this tool actually performs two functions anti-inflationary and anti-russian in the good sense of this word. yes, i do not know another understanding of this word. yes, mr. igor, what did putin do in response? i understand that he did not react very well to all these restrictions and sanctions. he constantly somehow threatens to the european countries that he will freeze them, that he will apply some more sanctions, anti-sanctions, that this time he invented, well, this time, what putin invented and he issued the corresponding legislative document, a decree, if i am not mistaken, where did he write what those countries that will receive illegal sanctions, you know the mantra today in the russian federation, illegal sanctions, sanctions that do not affect russia, but affect only those who directly apply them, so in this decree he wrote that countries that will not be, and

countries that will comply with these sanctions oil it will not be supplied from my point of view, you know, as the russians say, the air is secret why because the russian federation is very dependent on foreign markets and here we can say to mr. putin will read the materials of the meeting of the board of directors of the central bank of russia under the leadership of emiuling. where is it written that the external situation, i.e., external sanctions, have a negative impact and a significant negative impact on the russian economy ? there today is well, that is, like with food products in their time even before the full-scale invasion when they gave up european products in fact and e yes and er as in the case of gas when also they they introduced restrictions on the supply of gas and with oil they did the same thing, it looks like

a shot in the foot, in fact, that is, they give up foreign exchange income, they lose foreign markets and are happy about it and their preaching is also happy about it on television, it is strange, it is not clear why they are happy , the logic does not work here e i think that i think that we can say a very simple thing here, when we talk about consecutive self-inflicted sanctions and so on, these are all secondary, the primary one is that putin shot himself in the foot when he launched a full-scale aggression against ukraine and sanctions have already gone from here, and political isolation has gone from here, and some other worries, including internal political troubles in the russian federation, so talking about what you know, sanctions are some kind of trifle. from my point of view, we are absolutely wrong, and in principle, as a result of this policy pursued by putin , and it must be recognized, and not even on february 24 this year, we will remember the 14th year. and by that december, well, it is clear what it was all about. i am

not only upset that european countries and well, in a generally developed country, countries react to this very slowly. nevertheless, we are talking about this year. december is already coming to an end , let's sum up the results of the year. yesterday, we spoke with e-e analysts experts yevhen dubogryzam from country cases and mykhailo demkiv from the icu investment group i will briefly tell you the main trends they identified, and they mentioned inflation, you also mentioned inflation, they already mentioned unprecedented sanctions . there was as much european integration in ukraine as there was not. before that, even our trade agreements with europe did not bring any benefits there, but it is clear that this was forced by european integration.

uncertainty and that, in principle, it was still not possible to relax, because european western countries will not always support us in such volumes, they will not always give us billions of dollars and euros in the budget and support, you need to learn to live independently at your own expense, well, this is more like a forecast for the future. what was important to you this year, what events could you call key in the e-e ukrainian and perhaps the world economy ? it's a pity, this is a very sad event, this is a war, and it's a full-scale russian aggression against ukraine, because all these things that the respected experts talked about and that you listed today are the consequences of this war and have not completely changed our lives in everyone has a different hammer, nevertheless, it has changed and it is very fundamentally fundamental, as they say today, the order of the political

agenda of the country has changed, this is what we will talk about all the time, and unfortunately, we will feel a little of these consequences not only in the short term, in the medium term, in the long term perspective, therefore, if we return to what happened or did not happen, i would honestly add three more such points , although again, they are all somehow related to them point one, we see the formation of the so-called rammstein mechanism and the rammstein mechanism, despite all the problems, it currently provides the necessary weapons for ukraine, we can say a lot or a little, but there is a certain institution, actually an informal institution that helps us, the second factor is the second factor or event, so to speak i would still like to say that the ukrainian economy did not fall into a crisis, and even in this case we proved to be quite stable, stable , and due to our internal economic policy and stability, due to the help that we received to date, it is provided, we are talking about the banking system, we are talking about fulfilling, let's say, the same social obligations

that the state assumed, of course, with a limitation. but nevertheless, it is also very important . the third point, i don't remember. they didn't say ukraine faced an unprecedented migration migration from east to west immigration from ukraine to the west in the broad sense of the word of course this is very much destroying our labor market it is very much destroying a lot of social ties destroying the same the social capital that he talks about is known to all e-e research vacuums but nevertheless, it is a fact with which we have to live well, the last thing i would like to say, although it is possible that this is not the last, the list can be continued, i am thinking about what about the change that took place in the perception of russia by the ruling elites of the west and at least those countries that today form an anti-russian coalition, russia is a terrorist state, russia must be punished for what it directly did, and now
