the contribution to the support of the army saves the lives of our soldiers and brings our victory closer, mine has been going on since may of last year and they are still holding back a huge concentration of russian forces near them, the situation there is difficult but controlled, so the general staff informs, because they are literally rolling in the streets right here for a breakthrough of our defenses, the occupiers threw the most prepared wagnerites, so the assaults do not stop, neither day nor night, the number of killed occupiers reaches hundreds every day, and all to take control of the city that the enemy considers the key to success the russians hope, by capturing soledar, to weaken the left flank of the ukrainian defense of bakhmut and to open a way for an offensive from the north, but soledar and bakhmut have no strategic or strategic importance for the

russians, that is what military experts say, capture them for moscow, and after all, for the leader of the cutthroats, it is a beauty in terms of reputation. these ukrainian cities and the occupiers boasted that they had taken their surroundings in the summer, but they still stand as impregnable fortresses, the situation in these donetsk cities is somewhat complicated but controlled, the president of ukraine confirmed in his evening address, today he held another meeting of the stake, a meeting which by its nature corresponded to the situation on the front lines in the most principled areas, of course the number one question is soledar, is it bakhmut, this is the struggle in general for the donetsk direction, they analyzed in detail what solutions are needed, what reinforcements are needed, what steps should be taken made by the commanders already in the coming days bakhmut is under the control of ukraine very heavy battles are going on there

contact battles are going on bakhmut , the situation is a little smaller well, it is meant from a contact point of view, but more artillery well, here is what tsn correspondent yuliya klienko saw on this part of the front, exclusive footage and soledar , this is what soledar looks like now, an industrial city that supplied salt to the whole of ukraine, russia is turning it into the scorched earth, the fiercest battles for soledar do not subside for a week, the wagnerites are trying to dislodge the ukrainian paratroopers from there, but the enemy's target is not soledar itself, but the road through it to the main city of this segment of the bakhmut front. the

fiercest battles in donbas were concentrated in these areas of the front. the eastern and southern parts of bakhmut are being crushed by enemy artillery to such an extent that the sky above the city seems to be on fire. enemy infantry storms our positions in waves several times a day. is shooting at the russians in the nearby forest strip, the soviet self-propelled gun is preparing for work, the power is so powerful that the ground trembles under my feet, even though i am now a kilometer from the epicenter a counter-battery fight has begun because they are trying to break through our positions in the south of bakhmut, the artillerymen first check the temperature of the projectile, test the charge in order to make adjustments to the firing because it is a lot of train and in a few minutes the

self-propelled gun will jump above the ground from a powerful shot, the guys are constantly loading the projectiles and this ammunition will also be the name of the girl in our brigade, her father was killed and she asked to make an inscription on the shells, that is, what is it? shot ammunition has significantly increased in our units, now they do not spare us larger shells and more long-range artillery that can work counterbatteries there as a partner there high-precision artillery, etc. these projectiles greatly pleased the 2 mm artillerymen of the nka, which even the enemy is already

looking for abroad. they fly well towards the enemy in the midst of the canon where the artillery is, the main thing is to listen to the sky, it is on the front line as if it were alive, the drone was shot down, we can see its remains and smoke in the air, this means that the cover from the sky worked well, but there is a possibility that the enemy saw where we are, where the artillery is and there may be flights but it was a drone, a russian scout, anti-aircraft officers say that they control the sky above the artillery division, they have already shot down a dozen air targets in a week. and what kind of drone is it? yes, the russian attack drone did not reach the target , just as the assault of the enemy infantry choked again. so another day passed in the defense of the outskirts of

soledar bakhmut. with the civilian population in the village of yantarne , one of the enemy shells hit a residential building, wounding a 27-year-old man who died on the spot. a 47-year-old woman was also injured. wounded by shrapnel until the rule to the hospital where they have already operated in general, in kherson and the region, the sounds of explosions were heard throughout the day, and the day before the occupiers set their own anti-population record, points in the kherson region were shelled a total of 90 times , according to the local authorities, germany should not stand in the way of military support for ukraine from other countries this was the statement made by the local vice chancellor robert habek the day before about his intentions to hand over a company of leopard battle tanks to the ukrainian army within the framework of the international coalition

announced poland, although permission is required for such a step. germany as a manufacturer decided to transfer battle tanks yesterday and the british. insists that the total number should be at least half a hundred in order to fundamentally change the situation on the field by battle. meanwhile, france has decided to provide kiev light-wheeled tanks of western production, while another large country the european union and nato, for its part, germany is still resisting plans to transfer leopard tanks to ukraine. they do not have to declare in berlin and add that it is unlikely that a decision will be made before the meeting at the american air base rammstein next week. there is a difference between making a decision for yourself and hindering the decision of others, and i i believe that this is still true and,

accordingly, germany should not stand in the way if other countries decide to support ukraine, regardless of what decision germany makes at the peace summit on the anniversary of a full-scale invasion on february 24 at the headquarters of the un in new york, the peace summit announced by kyiv may be held in an interview with the turkish anadolu agency, the ambassador of ukraine in ankara, vasyl bodnar, said about this in an interview with the turkish anadolu agency. volodymyr zelenskyi's 10-point plan was announced by the president of ukraine in the fall at an emergency meeting of the group of seven in indonesia . the energetic withdrawal of russian troops and punishment of the aggressor earlier. the ukrainian foreign ministry emphasized that the government wants to carry out the peace formula proposed by kyiv by the end of february. well, while we are helping our

defense forces, there are whole families all over the country who have been fighting the occupiers for almost two years. this happened in the family of a soldier from volyn, his six children spent a little more than 2,000 hryvnias on christmas carols, and all the money was handed over to the armed forces of ukraine by three brothers and three sisters, the youngest and the oldest 15 a few months ago, they lost their dad. he went to the front at the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia, a hero died in october in the kharkiv region. well, his children decided to support the brothers of their dead dad and help the army, which greatly moved their relatives and volunteers and tsn correspondent tetiana khomych with a table under the flag which was given to them by their siblings, dad, and seven-year-old alinka immediately begins to introduce her siblings to alina and the youngest,

svitlanka, who cannot sit still for a moment and does not let anyone be sad in october the child's father died. so they decided to support his brothers and all the money they spent on christmas carols. and this is uah 2,075. give it to the needs of the military. they thought that the money should be spent on some sweets . it would be more useful to give it as a volunteer . they will simply go to help our the defenders have exactly what they need. let them even buy us food or something else or some clothes with that money, a picture of the children, my dear. because he says that they are all just as kind and sincere at dad's. 36-year-old yevhen golvchak was mobilized that winter the husband served in the artillery, was in the hottest spots in kyiv region, kherson region and kharkiv region, they have grown up a lot during the time when my

husband was taken to the war, they are a couple for me that i can rely on, the money i have collected, and also drawings of first grader alinka, the woman immediately took such a small box to the local volunteers of katrusia i found them, put them in there , folded them up, and i ordered our return volunteer center volunteers when a woman brought them money, at first they even refused to accept it, you know how we can take it from them this it's just that such children say that this act of the children of the fallen hero motivates them even more to help the army. but when my mother brought the money, i wanted to cry. girls, let 's count. i couldn't even count them. it's just like that, you know the influx, and we opened this box , and here we transferred 275 uah after the death. father is now the oldest, 15-year-old vitaly , it was his father who taught him to play the guitar, he asked

the boy before his arrival, but he never had time to play it, as he was supposed to come here, well, he is sitting, he taught it to his younger brothers the day before they accidentally broke a string, so this is the one to play as soon as i fix the guitar because that's what tatiana khomych's dad wanted anton onyshchuk volyn marathon only news 1+1 with giant wings ukrainian woman showed a spectacular and at the same time militant image at the miss universe contest, the competition is held in new orleans in the united states, our country it features 28-year-old model victoria apanasenko, the girl appeared on stage in a costume called warrior, a light white dress, blue-yellow armor with ornaments and large wings behind her back, and victoria held a sword in her hands, the author

who are always on the side of truth and justice, on the side of freedom and independence, those who hold weapons in their hands so that their children never take them. they they know how to fly and dream, they forget their own fears for our sake and for the sake of our future, warriors are not characters from books, real warriors are the armed forces of ukraine, each embroidered piece is a symbol of the indomitability and revival of ukraine, we will heal our councils

share these tips it can save in 10 months of war the economy of ukraine fell by 30% hundreds of enterprises were destroyed the number of unemployed exceeded two million and half of the budget is filled with the help of our donors and the printing press of the national bank under such conditions, it is realistic to change the economic model of ukraine, how to create jobs and whether it is really possible to carry out a real and not a showcase tax reform, we will talk about this in the night watch studio today for you are employed by natalya ostrovska, i am yevhen plinskyi, we are visiting deputy head of the president's office, rostislav shurma, the person responsible for the economic block in the president's office, thank you, good day, mr. rostislav,

the first question is fundamental. do we currently have an understanding and a single concept of what can be the economy of ukraine in the nearest foreseeable period, it is about what changes we need and whether there is a single, unified understanding for today's authorities and what exactly the path should be followed, so there is an absolute understanding, i think that it is necessary to break it everything for two big periods, the period of the military economy and the period of reconstruction that will be after our victory, these are two completely different policies, two different focuses and two different approaches regarding the military economy of the war period, here you can formulate it all very simply, our main task is to survive, to endure, that is, to do certain surgical steps that will maintain general stability that will collect the maximum number of jobs that will provide all the basic needs of the population in food products

in basic services in communal services services simply so that every person can live normally and wait for the victory regarding the period of reconstruction. actually, this is a unique chance for us to make those structural reforms so that we will come out of the new fundamentally different economy after the victory, not the one we inherited from the soviet union but economy of the future with high added value with high wages technological economy and what is needed for this is definitely needed this is a series of steps on the part of the state in order for foreign companies to come here investments, local investments, and there were certain incentive programs, if more objectively, we can go through certain blocks now. yes, what you said is the only generally accepted concept that we are here, we need to survive , and then we will move and build a new singapore, or whatever to survive today, i'm probably not sure what

will happen objective assessment but if we analyze how all countries existed during the war, today is the year of the war and we look at the general state of providing basic services. i believe that we are not so bad because we have examples of the second world war, which in terms of scale were comparable in terms of consequences and in what state were the citizens and the countries that were at war. and in this level of stability and some basic income that we we were able to preserve that, in fact, everything is not so bad, and our task is to preserve this stability. as for reconstruction, we very clearly understand what priorities should be , it should be new energy, new green energy, and not only for ukraine, but for for the whole of the european union, because look at what happened. the entire european union built its industry for decades, relying on the energy resources of the russian federation, that's 150 billion cubic meters of natural gas, that's almost 200 million tons of oil, that's more than

100 million tons. all this will not happen, but energy is the european industry and 500 million cars, 500 million european consumers are needed , and ukraine will be able to occupy a unique place here as a new supplier of green resources in the form of green hydrogen and green electricity; the second is a huge such a production hub, which, again, has historically been located in china in recent decades, some in the countries of eastern europe, ukraine has everything to become such a new production hub for europe, and it does not matter, it is woodworking, metalworking, chemistry, some small e-e manufacturing industries, small enterprises, food industry this is a huge cluster. we can also build a third one - this is food products. ukraine is traditionally a huge producer of the basic raw material in food products, corn grain sunflower our task is to build a proper processing agro-processing industry in ukraine , which will already deliver a finished product to

the consumer's shelf, it can be meat, it can be packaged ready-made products, it can be frozen bread, it can be alcohols that are used not only in the food industry, in medicine in many other directions, compound feed, and so on, to convert our grain, corn, our sunflower, other crops. actually, into the final product, the fourth is definitely this is our it-cluster because we have a huge engineering potential which developed even before the war, and we believe that after the war there will be a new impetus. in fact, the development of the it industry is no longer a service outsourcing industry, but an industry when a product is created, because if we take, for example, an iphone, which one is there or which mobile phone do we use, the price of which conditional they call a thousand dollars, then in fact the developer of this product earns his 1000 $ 700, and the manufacturer of the outsourcer earns only 100 dollars, so our main goal in which industries is to build product companies which will be engaged in development well,

not only providing outsourcing services sounds like everything in the fields can't many large enterprises they remained in the temporarily occupied territories many large enterprises are closing down 2.8 million ukrainians will remain unemployed according to preliminary estimates of the ministry of economy of ukraine today as we we can create jobs for people look as far as the current programs are concerned we are launching several big systemic things the first thing is the so-called affordable mortgage it has two components, the first component is actually an opportunity for a citizen to buy his own home on very favorable terms with a preferential interest rate. this program will start working in the coming weeks and months, as it was promised on october 1st, november 1st, that is, the first hundreds of loans were issued, but our task is not

to issue hundreds of loans and not thousands, but tens of thousands, and before that there were certain restrictions that we removed one by one, this complex program that no one could really run for 30 years, if we are talking about two or three months, even six months believe me, it is worth finalizing them and launching them. and the fact that it will launch, well, it doesn't matter if it will be in two weeks or in a month and a half, but we can already clearly see that it will go. it has another component, it will become a catalyst for the construction sector. what is the construction sector? the construction sector is extremely labor- intensive. a sector that involves not only mechanical production but an extremely large amount of labor and not only in construction itself but in related industries that supply building materials and certain products for construction such as windows and such such as furniture, decorative materials, and so on, this is one big program, the second big program is the transformation of unemployment benefits, the first pilot projects have already been launched, which provide for not just the payment

of benefits, as has been the case traditionally for many decades. and when the state creates a public order for certain public works when a person who has lost his job in the private sector can get paid public works and bring benefit to his own hometown . if we talk about mortgage lending, what it will be implemented with the help of who will finance this project and we hear a lot of complaints from the business side, including the agrarian one, that after raising the discount rate by the national bank, lending in ukraine became almost impossible. look, this was a very difficult decision for the government of the national bank and all our authorities the main goal was to preserve macroeconomic stability in general and we were able to preserve it unconditionally. that this has certain consequences, how to deal with these consequences by subsidizing the necessary loans. and actually speaking, i think that exactly

agrarians need to complain no less, because for agrarians it was about 10 months ago, literally in the first or second month of the war, we launched a specialized program of cepsodizing loans so that they could carry out sowing, that is, thousands of agrarians received concessional loans at practically zero rates in order to carry out i will not tell you the exact number right now, but it was definitely tens of billions of hryvnias, or is it 20 or 25 , you just need to look at the statistics as regards subsidized mortgages, yes, of course, we will also be talking about a certain interest rate issue in the evolution, it will be financed differently, of course, the first period . and interest rates are below the market, we believe that we will

be able to raise funds from the market, we will be able to raise funds from international partners for us it is very important to start this mechanism so that everyone can see the banking system and our international partners that this is a completely working program when tens of thousands of citizens can get these loans transparently without any corruption without any procracy and that this is a program that can really be financed trust will appear and it just takes time, i think that within six months of the operation of this program from the moment it will be launched on a large scale in the coming weeks , months or yes yes definitely look online the resource is working, it is already working, the application is active, there are almost 20 million citizens of ukraine, where in fact, all this can be done in a few clicks, the development is already finished, we are waiting for the days of the week in order to launch it, it will take four hours to complete it, it will not be necessary to go and collect a lot of references and so, actually

, what is the main meaning of this program, apart from the cost of the resource, that is, this current loan is not under 20-25, this current loan is under three dashes of 7 years in the hryvnia, it is not uvalivky, it is simply there because the one who had experience obtaining a mortgage loan he knows that he needed to collect such a bunch of different references from dozens of instances and it is not the fact that you are his and it is not the fact that you are getting him that the meaning is that when you start your personal there is basic personal data in action the system identifies you and with of the registers automatically extracts all these references, that is, no additional actions are required to collect information and the information is automatically processed for you. actually, as a potential borrower, the only thing that will not be automated for the first stage is the evaluation of the real estate to be purchased and the conclusion of the contract itself, but in our plans within six months to fully automate and transfer all these transactions to electronic form in order to become

the first country in the world, as we have become the first in many respects in action, so that the mortgage agreement is concluded within a - and days and completely online without actually visiting any offices and leaving the house somewhere. we are sure how we will do it, we understand very clearly what needs to be done for this, because during the implementation of such a reform initiative actually speaking, the war is the time to make such fundamental economic changes, but look at such a mortgage , what is extremely important, extremely important - is to pass an assessment, the so-called scoring at the bank, which must see your income, if you receive a salary in an envelope, you never you will come from the roots, because no registers, no system do not have your income, so it seems to me that this will be extremely - again, extremely great impetus for a fundamental review of how wages are paid in our to the country about the fact that well, to be frank,

the main problem that hindered the appearance of investors in ukraine was the complexity of the interaction between the state and business, and big problems of communication with the tax office, big problems of communication with state bodies. and back in the summer, you announced a major tax reform in the country i want to cite your quote. i am a big supporter of radical tax changes, and they believe that they should probably be done right now. this is our unique chance to change the culture of paying taxes in the country. let's talk about it. what are the concrete ones? the steps you propose in your concept, we are talking about it all the time. first, this reform was called 10 10, then it was rejected. it is called simply such a big economic reform in the country. it has both its supporters and skeptics , including among the representatives of the authorities let 's try to figure out what you propose in

the context of tax reform and talk both in general and specifically
