when my viewers ask, they especially asked at the beginning of a full-scale invasion. so why aren't the sanctions in effect? ​​so where are the results of those sanctions, and the longer this war goes on, the more i find information for my releases that the sanctions are in effect, restrictions on exports, restrictions on the maximum price for russian oil, i am telling this audience, but to you as an internationalist, is there unity of all states, in particular the european union, regarding the implementation of these economic, in particular, restrictions on the allocation of international aid there from all countries and the european union in our to the state, is there someone poking sticks in the wheels, so to speak, er, oleksandr, there is someone poking these sticks in the wheels, unfortunately , in general, sanctions are in effect, and this agreement regarding sanctions is generally there, but there are a few countries that still, for some reason, i do not know because which is possible due to fear, possibly due to some other reasons, but they slow down these sanctions, that is,

there have already been several packages of sanctions, which countries are slowing down. it's a pity, this is greece, which they loved to go to, and they love, and ukrainians will go there in the summer , that is, there are such countries, and they are afraid of some kind of fear because of the fact that and what will happen if , for example, russia wins this war not ukraine, but what will happen if naftogaz is cut off from us in general, how will we get them, although other countries are not afraid of this, other countries are finding some diversify these supply routes and live without them, there are still these countries well, but they are few, they are few and this makes me happy to yurii, if possible, we often talk about what is western the world is one way or another with ukraine, the leading role here belongs to the united states of america.

europe yes, it is also formidable, as you said, but anyway it is with ukraine, this is the western world, but there are other players on the map, for example, china and india, which are not the ones who support russia, but they do not support ukraine as fervently as we would like, can this change? and what can force china, let's say, to change this position, the east is a very delicate matter when they said yes and it really is so because these countries that you mentioned, their leaders primarily think about themselves, but thinking about themselves they will not think about ukraine they are far from us, their own, for them this war is very far away for them the main thing is to ensure a normal life for their citizens, they will do it if they need to buy, for example, that's how they think in china if you need to buy oil or gas in russia, and if russia gives a discount on this gas, it will

allow the construction of special gas pipelines for this gas, why not buy them, they think the same way in e-e india, for example, if you need to sell to russia which semiconductors are in russia now there is none, but we can hang them there. why don’t you sell them, and therefore speaking about whether we will have this support ? a full-scale war, a full-scale invasion of russia against its sovereign neighbor, unfortunately, i have not seen this yet, you know, not only diplomacy is a weapon, not only weapons are weapons in this war, weapons and money, and i think many of those who follow each other in ukraine, especially in the west in other countries they thought that well, how long is ukraine with the economy of the show, how long will ukraine last , how is it in general, how will it manage to stand and not fall, how did the ukrainian

economy survive this year, thanks to what, at the expense of what, and also, we will enter the next year, this is us later but now we are talking about the economy in a year of war, a miracle or a regularity, let's see the material, sowing this year in ukraine took place under fire, the occupiers prevented farmers from going to the fields in every possible way, destroyed machinery, threatened with reprisals and destroyed the fields with rockets. by fire, suppliers took out seeds from warehouses in the kyiv region. in order to deliver them to the fields on time, destroyed evacuation routes, endless air alarms and a shortage of people, because many farmers went to the front as volunteers, sowed mainly rapeseed , sunflower, and cereals. so it will be enough for own consumption and for the reserve, the government noted that the ministry of agrarian policy and

food reported at the beginning of june that it was possible to sow 75% of last year's areas, this a record indicator if we take into account the active hostilities in the spring will bring profit to the budget and agricultural producers and grain exports despite a smaller harvest than ukraine harvested last year farmers will have something to sell on the world market despite the opposition of the kremlin the grain agreement extended queues and empty atms in the first days of a full-scale war in the past despite the difficulties faced by banks on february 24, the financial sector did not stop even for a day, specialists ensured payments and clients' access to their money, and branches finstanov in cities and districts liberated from the enemy are resuming work on the condition that the lives and health of customers and employees are not threatened, all processes are now supported, all data is protected and saved and noted in the national bank at the most critical moment of the war, the nbu

fixed the official exchange rate of the hryvnia against the dollar in lviv restrictions on settlement transactions in foreign currency in order to control currency exchange rates, increased the discount rate , thus curbing the growth of prices for goods and services according to annual inflation forecasts will be no more than 30%. banks now offer ukrainians to place short-term deposits in hryvnias at 10-18% per annum, and long-term deposits for more than 1 year at 8:14%. experts note that this is currently a reliable option for saving and multiplying savings, the banking system continues to work both with business and with the state, in particular, it lends to entrepreneurs under the 5 7 9 program and also participates in the annual support mortgage loan program, the queue at the gas station will become more than 15 liters per person tank after the destruction by the russians of the series of oil depots and an oil refinery in kremenchuk ukraine was hit by a crazy shortage of

fuel prices rose almost every hour for a while fuel almost disappeared from gas stations in order to avoid a collapse in the market for petroleum products the authorities decided to take control of the process, in particular, state price regulation was introduced , and value added tax and excise tax were abolished and after some time the situation was stabilized, ukraine switched to european gasoline and diesel, the army was able to refuel the army in a sufficient number of agrarians, albeit with old stocks managed to sow and harvest with the support of international companies, the demand was met, the suppliers saturated the market and created strategic reserves, so in the future there was no need for state regulation of the petroleum market, the deficit disappeared, prices remained high, and as long as the war of cheap fuel continues, it is not worth waiting. well, much has changed. its rules in the economy oleksandr how did you live this year at the expense of what vasyl eh i

remember the pre-war time, so to speak, when a barrage of criticism rang out that the economy is falling slowly growing we have a very expensive dollar and we now understand how well we lived economically in prosperity in our growing economy and we see how the enemy is destroying what ukraine during the years of independence built, revived, restored, well, increased capacity, let's talk i can only be proud of ukrainian business, i can be proud of ukrainians in general, who are also a part of our general economy. because the first days showed that the banking system will survive, the first days showed that we are really ready to take those liters of gasoline that we gave a little the gas station has to stand for hours, there are many hour long queues and anyway, uh, we will talk about it,

well, let's keep the power in general and unite to share the gasoline that is, in fact , today it was already said in this studio that the united states gave three days if we talk about the military part a-a, in fact, this was also given to the ukrainian economy in the first weeks, the forecasts of e-e foreign analysts, in particular, those published in the bloomberg publication, gave a 50% drop in the gross domestic product, a 50% increase in consumer prices, the so-called ukrainian inflation according to the results and according to the data of the world bank, the economy still falls by the tail of at least 30-30 percent over the past year. this is an excellent indicator, if you take into account the economic problems that ukraine has faced, inflation will reach the mark of 30% according to the data of the national bank - this is not 50- x were

predicted by international experts, and i consider it a victory, particularly an economic one. well, it is clear that we could not achieve such victories. my colleague yuriy fizar spoke about international support, in particular the european union, we could not have achieved such economic victories without of international macro-financial assistance, there are really different opinions from different countries, someone wants to finance the revival of the ukrainian economy, budget payments to ukrainians, doctors, teachers , someone has the european union in mind . which essentially ends the year 2022 in the economy ukraine attracted 25 billion dollars of external financing to the state budget thanks to these funds, in essence, social payments are steadily developing those

industries that need infusions is happening and they will talk about these loans that ukraine has to pay for years already after the victory, they say, remember how we often received loans from the imf . a share is money - it's grants, it's grants - it's irrevocable aid ukraine will not owe anything to anyone, it's money from the world community for us to win. to whom to give air loans, there really is loan money, but these are concessional loans, these are concessional loans for minor questions of survival, but we have our own time for one question, i will be the one who wants to ask a question to oleksandr, maybe you have some experience, have you seen how the business works, let’s say at that moment, either please, not about business with oleksandr, in your story there was a mention of gasoline, about gasoline prices,

especially in the first months, when there was this uncertainty of what will happen . by those indicators on the gas station shelves that we managed to record in fact, and our suppliers today there is no shortage of fuel, they say in the government, but in fact winter is such a seasonal factor. is caused by the fact that the enemy has destroyed and continues to destroy the energy infrastructure, in essence, the demand for fuel is, well, a matter of survival, it unfortunately shapes prices, but the fact that the world is ready to supply us with fuel, gasoline, fuel oil, and diesel fuel is the fact and the supply is happening, so there is no need to panic, the only thing i want to

say is that among the victories of ukrainian business and the ukrainian economy, vasyl managed to save dozens of enterprises that, well , organized in time, were able to move to safe regions with the help of the government or on their own, thanks to this business who created jobs and who pays taxes and in particular taxes in advance in order to use them to finance the ukrainian army in our country, we have almost lived until the new year 2023, as they say, in our country there there are literally two minutes left, me and mine will listen to the president’s address, what will he tell us? it’s really important, but i want to say well, literally a little, but we’ve cleaned up a lot from russian business or not. isn’t this process strong this year, uh, of course, these lists of enterprises exist their their property is seized, and their assets and money from the sale of these enterprises naturally go to the support of the armed forces of ukraine - this is undeniable work,

why is it slow ? take away any business, even if it belongs to the owner of one of the owners there, who lives in russia and is a citizen of russia, and everything must be done within the legal circle, so that after the victory there are no claims against us. i am sure that the relevant services will clean the entire business from the presence of russia well, we actually have a minute left, uh, we will listen to the president and supreme commander of the armed forces of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi, and i want to say that we will listen today not at all with certainty and he is not like that like a year ago, you know, it is still very important for me that there was such an agreement and that i understood the normal agreement, at least in the mass media of people-leaders of public opinion who did not say words against the president. because you know how normal political and social life is in us. everyone there likes to

criticize their president when the future president is the prime minister, the goal of the verkhovna rada, but this is also the fact that the society was united, they understand who is who, who, how they play their roles, who does what work. now we will talk about cultural traumas, cultural achievements and a cultural surge is possible, and ukrainian culture has manifested itself to the whole world or has become visible, finally it was noticed, it was seen , ah, ukrainian culture manifested itself for ukrainians themselves, and ukrainian culture, in principle, also obviously created a miracle from which, for sure, many and did not expect as a cultural elite as a culture as a phenomenon survived this uh, difficult, terrible, tragic, but also heroic year, let's see in the plot, stable, good cinema, the times when ukraine submitted to the oscars just to submit have passed finally, we already have decent films, this is marina ergorbach's klondike, which has been

constantly receiving prestigious awards throughout the year. the film is about a husband and wife who live in the front-line zone. despite her pregnancy, irka is not going to leave. one of the shells destroyed the wall of the house, but this is no reason to leave it . to clean up and continue doing stunts for the winter, meanwhile, an airplane of flight mh17 is falling nearby, the director considers her film not only an artistic but also a political statement from the beginning of the great the invasion of the importance of cultural diplomacy has incredibly increased this positioning of our country through art ukrainians call to suspend ties with russian culture , but at the same time it is necessary to offer something of their own kyiv symphony orchestra, for example, had a big tour of germany, they also performed in

france and spain at the nato summit in munich at a literary festival ukrainian writers spoke. and now also the military artem cheh and artem chay. as for serhiy zadanato, among his many activities, there was also a speech in the european parliament talking about how did the war affect ukrainian culture ? it is clear that already on february 24, theaters, libraries, bookstores and galleries, art galleries stopped working in kharkiv , that is, kharkiv suddenly became a city of empty theaters, closed bookstores and libraries that have no readers. you were cheerful and healthy well, and definitely one of the biggest actions of

ukrainian cultural diplomacy was the concert notes from ukraine, it was held on december 4 in one of the most famous music venues of the world, carnegie hall in new york invited actress vera farmiga and director martin scorsese as presenters, which added a certain amount of media coverage to the event, and the dedicated concert was generous, more precisely, the centenary of its american premiere in the same carnegie hall, i won't ask anything because you said yura that martin scorsese is also a ukrainian joked no, martin scorsese is not ukrainian, but many hollywood actors and actors who before did not even know that they were ukrainian or ukrainian or knew and did not attach a special meaning to it because there and ukraine, and suddenly after february 24, they all realized their ukrainianness and began

to help, and to be proud, and often it was even sincerely enough. it seems to me that the most striking example was kunis, who, even at the beginning of the war after 2014, said that everything after all, she doesn't really want to speak ukrainian. she speaks russian, and in general, she only came to ukraine once after she left there as a child, and she was not impressed at all. she got off the plane and the men asked me something do you feel skillful, she said no, absolutely nothing, and now we see how my laconist advocates ukraine really sincerely in numerous interviews. she does it very competently and she explains it to the americans why it is necessary to help ukraine, and now she has changed her point of view, so e- you see, this is how cultural diplomacy works, in particular, and by the way, the image of

our president. i know that not all of our viewers love him, and in general, there is a long-standing attitude towards volodymyr zelensky, but we must admit that this is his role. it is extremely filmy and she is extremely prone to attacks as he positions himself as he positions ukraine and of course he is a very attractive image. and in this story that we saw, it was talking about cultural diplomacy, precisely about tom what a force that russia has always used very effectively and we took care of the rear because culture, what is it ? this is something unimportant here. we understood that it is the opposite . europe was silent and we were unconvincing in convincing europe, and then simon petlyura he

decided that the europeans should send a horkoshitz to the americans, because diplomacy is diplomacy, politics is politics, but when such a cool choir performs, of course people should take over ukraine if it has such a great culture and really then the tours of this choir were a great success, but unfortunately it was not possible to do it brightly enough on a large enough scale, now it is possible and now we see this century of the performance of the generous man in the penalty goal by marfin scorsese, vera farmiga it was all very, very, very media and very cool , and that's why we are working on it now, and i want to talk about those people who are currently engaged in cultural diplomacy. cultural managers, they are

currently traveling to germany, france, britain, the states and convince people by listening 100-150 times to often stupid questions, stupid remarks , they explain time and time again why we do not perceive pushkin very well now, because their they ask oh pushkin, what did he do to you, what did pushkin do to you, they explain to you that not only that, but the price is putin’s, those who are not only putin’s war , they explain what why do we want to cancel russian culture, but we also cannot say the word cancel fly because for the world community it is we are rude enough, we need to look for something softer, we need to talk about what hurts us as if we don't feel anything because we need to convince all these artists, the cannes festival and so on and so on, the oscars remember how they didn't want to give a speech at the island ceremony

volodymyr zelenskyi because they did not want to politicize this ceremony although it was always politicized, but his speeches are in many other uh, at many other events , here, as we talked about, there was also volodymyr zelenskyi, but at zelensky, that's all v we seem to be doing very well, we can offer instead of tchaikovsky, as we are told, now you also want us not to play tchaikovsky, then suggest one of your own, and we have our musicologists and musicians come and offer myroslav skoryk and, in fact, valentina tselvestrova and many of our composers. and there are even some ratings of the tops of our composers, which we can position as ukrainian and gain some points. and the same within the country. i think you noticed how many of our musicians and artists

changed their colors after february 24. i think that this is enough a funny story , some changed their shoes, repainted, i believe some did it sincerely enough of course not, but all this shows the reaction to social processes , society is changing and different, even opportunists of course want to please them and they themselves are changing, at least superficially, but it still shows that they want to please the audience, which means that the audience is changing. these are extremely important processes. i think they are positive. please, when developing the topic of cultural diplomacy, did you mean representatives of ukrainian culture, or representatives who speak the ukrainian language, who are of ukrainian origin and thanks, of course, to them for what they do in the world, they tell the truth about what is happening in ukraine, about the war that russia started on

february 24, but what about other cultures of western culture, how is it currently reacting to all this? is there support from representatives of western culture for us? it is extremely large. although i still think that maybe you mean some works of art, yes, maybe some films are already being filmed there, in general, i wanted to ask, it is. documentaries that are filmed here, but still it is important for us to speak for ourselves and not for someone to speak for us. although these views are also important, support us a lot and it is important for us because we have the opportunity to look at ourselves from the side because that we see ourselves one by one, and the people who come there from france and see us in a completely different way, and this is also important to understand. and what we look like ah, and that's why, of course. well, there is extremely great interest, but what matters is

what we are now if we say there are about films, for example, and we have a lot of films released this year that took part in the top film festivals in the world during the year and, accordingly, our stories were seen and as if the directors, our film crews told, and our stories were in the plot, too. we saw excerpts from klondike is a movie i recommend in every way this is a must-watch tape for many foreigners, i believe, and there was an absolutely incomprehensible situation, why the main character after arriving in her house, when she has one wall fully trained, why does she start cleaning and it seems that this situation is absolutely not real, this cannot be, but we can remember how in the summer, we complained that during the air raids, people come out and start mowing the lawns and this lawnmower scares us, or

now that during these air raids we start doing some general cleaning and so on and so on. that's why it's already part of some of our uh, well, our consciousness, and in some mythology, which is extremely interesting in the world, because no one has such an experience , and of course it's interesting to watch us now a-ah, the question is alexander i would like to say that cultural diplomacy is, without a doubt , important, but not a little bit different, as far as our artists and representatives who support ukraine, in particular, artists from other countries, manage to attract specific funding, specific grants, or even just help material things for our armed forces of ukraine, is there such an exchange of financial support and where does this money settle cultural funds? what is happening now ah well,

in general, our producers and artists have learned mmm s- not just to look for grants somewhere and absolutely seriously to cooperate with foreign colleagues, having our share of money, uh, we will join forces with someone else, with the italians, with the french, we will do something of our own, and by the way, the italian film ukraine was released at the box office, that is, the ukrainians together with the italians made the film cosa nostra with the company in vitovskaya and a wonderful comedy, of course , now a lot of money is allocated to support ukrainian artists from europe and the united states, and of course they use it, but uh, still, well, many of our uh, people who are engaged in production, they stand on the fact that we should not just take money, grants that cannot be returned we should

position ourselves abroad as serious people, as people with whom it is profitable to cooperate, it is profitable to make some kind of joint product on which you can make money later and now is the time these are directors who travel to various film festivals, they close there, win some money and make various connections because they speak different languages. they know how to find some business partners, so they travel not just to talk about ukraine, but to find some partners for themselves later together with them to produce something and earn money, in particular, not only to spend it. damn, thank you, uh, we talked about cultural phenomena, some possibly unexpected things, perhaps expectations, but then, for now, culture has grown over this year i think that it has become stronger in us, it has simply become different and it is heard differently in the world, it is heard differently in us, but in ukraine, and now we will

talk about ordinary ukrainians . it's not very clear about ukrainians, what we are, all of us, there are no superiors or inferiors. it's just that we ukrainians are in this war, they are ukrainians, we all showed extraordinary strength, resilience, and the most important humanity is love, which we already talked about today and one of thousands of these human stories i think they will be someday all have been told, but this story will be told right now about how the community in kyiv region turned a medical center into a real hospital without a look. in the rear, in particular, local residents on the basis of the medical post deployed a real one
