to become, as they have said since soviet times, everything is bluer and deeper, that is how it should be, we have no doubt about it and the sanctions are still working little by little and there are signs of this, we can talk about the fact that these sanctions should have been in place since at least the 14th year, then it is possible and there was no february 24, 27th year, well, we have what we have, and here we already have to correct the situation, with the help of which they call the genetically ukrainian course somewhere. well , no one will say at least that independence came to us from the sky, we paid for it with a blue oilcloth full the price serhiy bratchuk, the spokesman for the head of the odesa regional military administration , was in touch with us, and now the economic news is traditionally at this hour. andriy yanitsky is already taking the word from us, and we give him the word. good morning, we will talk today a lot about the budget of last year and

this of the year andriyanitskyi with economic news on the espresso tv channel every day at eight in the morning live, repeat at 11:00 p.m. and anytime on the internet on the youtube channel espresso tv channel, if you watch us now, leave it there comments, send the link to your friends and family, let them also know the economic truth, unexpected, the international monetary fund changed its forecasts to more optimistic ones , so the fund said that the world gdp will improve, positive movements will be felt in the second half of the current year, all thanks to optimistic expectations in the countries where the usa has a special role the situation on the energy market, in particular the drop in gas prices, will play a role; however, the main challenge for the economy

throughout the planet remains high inflation and the war in ukraine is noted by imf analysts . i will remind you that earlier the head of the fund kristalina georgieva reported that this whole year will be difficult for the world economy, in order to replenish the ukrainian gdp, it is necessary to unblock the ports for the export of not only grain and metals. this statement was made by the president of the association of ukrainian metallurgists prom, oleksandr kalenkov, if it succeeds to do this will be one of the most important victories of ukraine on the economic front, according to the expert, thanks to sea exports, the country receives about 5 billion foreign exchange earnings and the volume of production of metal products will increase by three times, predicts a couple of kalinkovs, the reconstruction army is called the program to provide work for the unemployed during the war, it will increase to 5,000 people, they work

in 10 regions, deputy minister of economy tetyana berezhna informed that these people receive a minimum payment of 6,800 uah for performing socially useful works even more than the average unemployment benefit payment, therefore participation in this program is beneficial for those who have not yet found a job, the deputy minister noted, the list of jobs depends from the needs of a specific city, for example, it can be the elimination of the consequences of emergency situations and the arrangement and strengthening of roadblocks, felling trees to form trenches for harvesting firewood for the military, as well as clearing rubble. the german company winter show dia announced its exit from the russian market. it is said that the continuation of our business in russia is not sustainable, russia's aggressive

war is incompatible with our values , it destroyed the cooperation between russia and in europe, end of quote, among the reasons, top managers point to the decision of the president and government of russia, which retroactively lowers the prices of vydubychi hydrocarbons, which are then sold to gazprom, and there will be less russian propaganda in france. accounts after 5 years of persistence, the french authorities have achieved their goal, according to the channel's press release, after the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine in february 2022, the european union promised to stop the work of the network of tv channels, archers who spread lies, the attempts of artificers to complain about the ban turned out to be useless. well, let's talk about the budget

according to dmytro boyarchuk to the executive directors of the analytical center case ukraine, mr. dmytro. i congratulate you. i know that your analytical project implements such a project as the price of the state, which is devoted entirely to the budget, what is this the price of the state is what it can be useful for our viewers, well, this is an educational project, we tell people, first of all, that they will pay taxes and that everything that is happening at state expense, it is done at their expense, now the situation has of course changed somewhat, but that is, we will receive a lot of foreign aid, but for fa- in fact, it is the taxpayers’ funds of only another country, so the main goal is to talk about budget funds

about the budget and tell people how it really is is it happening or is it easy to do it during the war? i understand that a lot of data about the budget are currently in closed access. does the project continue to exist? yes. we continue to exist . only closed, but those are not large, the small amount of information that remains available. it comes out with a long delay and in very great detail, that is, in fact, we can only talk about some very general numbers, and a more detailed analysis, unfortunately, it is now impossible, if we still talk about last year's budget let's focus on it. last year's budget at the beginning of the year and the budget that you saw already in the final. how different

are they ? strong, that is, at the beginning of the year, revenues were planned to be 1.3 billion. excuse me, 1.3 million, but at the end of the year, 1.5 million were planned, and in fact , 1.5 million were actually collected. changed a lot, if at the beginning of the year it was a plan of 1.5 trillion, then at the end of the year the plan was three trillion, or they fulfilled a little less than 2.7, well, at least such cash registers in terms of cash expenditures, that is, the main change is, of course, in the structure of income and er , in terms of expenditures that uh leo is a big part revenues - these were actually grants that we received irrevocably from the governments of other countries . i understand that it is simply impossible to automatically

make changes to the budget without some serious decisions of the parliament, and you talked about such significant changes as the technological process took place during the invasion. we remember that the first months kyiv was actually under siege and the deputies. well, i don’t know how safely they could gather and vote, how the changes took place. i also don’t know how they technologically gathered there, they must have somehow gathered under conditions of secrecy but the changes took place very actively, even if you look at the schedule of the changes that were taking place. yes, in march , the budget was changed three times, in april, in may, that is, it was constantly changing in terms of taxes. do you remember that we actually canceled customs duties on the first stage because there was almost no import as such, somehow, as far as i remember, only 15%

of the war volume was spent in the first days, that is, imports stopped, of course, expenses began to grow, and to be completely reshaped , that is, the budget changed completely, radically has changed since the beginning of the war, eh. and if i say, if you take expenditures specifically for the army, i understand that now it is the lion's share of expenditures, how can you characterize it? -e protection and defense defense er-er somewhere er-er well, how is it half of the budget expenditures, half of what is too much yes, even more if you take defense if you take er-er to the right, to the right, order because law and order is mainly the national guard, which also fights, takes participation in military operations er if

at the beginning of the year, for example, 133 billion hryvnias were planned for defense, now it is more than one trillion hryvnias, a radical increase , an increase, and this does not take into account military aid, which we all talk about, the supply of weapons, the supply of e-e shells, other equipment, this does not take into account humanitarian aid, this does not take into account volunteer movements , i.e. the increase in defense expenditures is insane . that is, it is actually payments to the military and provision of minimum food , the location of rivers is this, this is mostly. these are the basic expenses, again, we do not we have detailed information, but in fact weapons are almost not included in it,

it is clear that there was not enough money in the budget, we did not foresee such a development of events. well, in principle, no analytical organization, as far as i know , financial and economic, did not foresee such a scenario, at least at the beginning of the year that there will be a large-scale russian invasion and our budget will be in a difficult situation. i remember that in an interview with the magazine for icons serhiy marchenko, our minister of finance, said that the monthly deficit is about 5 billion dollars, how did we manage to close these deficits, er, this hole in the budget, in fact, due to general aid, a little, well, from a little

, er, let's say this, first, e 5 billion dollars. less but all the deficit is not included , the same grants, that is, if you look at the whole year as a whole, then we have a so-called fiscal gap, taking into account the identity and the grant, it is 29 and 5% of the pcs with an insane amount, because before the war, the general budget expenditures i'll drop it there about 40-45% of gdp, and we talked about the fact that this is a very large tax burden, a very large redistribution of budget funds, er, funds of the economy through the budget, now we actually have a fiscal gap in 2022, it was er, almost 30% of gdp, er, the main the main financing of the season. that is, we are now holding

on thanks to external financial support. the volume of the mission was incredibly large. the volume of the mission was almost 400 billion hryvnias . the interbank market, if the national bank did not have the funds to neutralize this surplus hryvnia, we would have hyperinflation rates, er, they would be simply crazy. yes, we actually have inflation of 26 and 6%, er, taking into account that in other countries it is about 20%, it is simply er- i would say very big successes, a lot of grants, as i said , loans of various kinds, that is, if we talk about foreign aid, we can single out some of the leaders of this aid,

which countries helped us financially the most , name these er heroes and our partners the biggest help is the united states, the european union is the biggest help, it helped uh, earlier we talked about the imf, but the imf, for example, uh, just rolled over its loans, that is, they gave exactly the same uh as we had to return to them this year, the main the aid was at the political level, it is the united states and the european union, for next year we also actually have a commitment of one and a half billion dollars and one and a half billion euros per month to finance the budget deficit. well, it appears in the media as 18 billion roads in the european union yes, but in fact this is a formula of one and a half billion dollars and 1.5 billion euros from major players

in order to provide for our budget needs, here you said about the emission of money, it says that some incredible amount was printed well, of course, not physically, not in the form of printed papers. and that it was somehow neutralized, you can explain this mechanism in simple words, that is, the money that was issued, they did not go to salaries and did not get into the store, and accordingly did not they fueled the prices, what happened to them? no , they went to paychecks, they went to stores, but how does the economic system work , that is, if you have an excess hryvnia mass, it either transforms prices or goes there for the foreign exchange market is not necessarily that you people run to

buy foreign currency. people buy something imported . the economy did not work very well. extra money leo their part uh it ended up at the interbank in the form of demand for currency a-a. the national bank even at some stage er-e stated that they see an almost one hundred percent correlation between the volumes of minted hryvnia and the volume of demand for currency at the interbank, that is, the process is very clear, very er-er, very interconnected in those conditions , they went through the economy, they created some kind of activity, but in the end, they ended up almost instantly at the

interbank, and if there was no currency, which was given to us again in the form of grants or loans it was a very sad story for us, well , it's good that we managed to cope with inflation. not all viewers will agree with us because they see the price tags in stores, but we compare it with what could have been. and what was six and six. it seems yes, the percentage of inflation at the end of the year is even lower than the forecasts that the national bank gave somewhere during the year. they gave it about 30 years ago and managed even better than expected. there was also such a mechanism as internal borrowing through applications for a domestic state loan . was it successfully applied and did it allow to fill the budget eh so the whole mechanism did not

work well -e was in the banking system took place remains excess liquidity and this money is placed on certificates of deposit why because you can get 23% on a certificate of deposit, and by placing them in a state loan bond there, well, interest eh how at least a few percentage points less only towards the end of the year, e.e. the ministry of finance began to raise rates and this immediately became noticeable in the volume of borrowed loans, but in fact,

this is the volume and mission. could not attract enough resources by borrowing on the market, if the ministry of finance had raised the rate, it is clear that these are additional costs for the budget for taxpayers well, but the situation was like this, so the scope of the mission would be, i think, hmm significantly less considering that the banks had money considering the fact that liquidity was sufficient, but this mechanism was not, let's say , fully implemented, well, choosing between debt and inflation, they still chose inflation in this case, in this case, do not load the budget with brigs, mr. dmytro , thank you for the conversation, we have actually already talked the whole time but very briefly, in one word, literally, does this 2023 budget look more realistic? well, it is almost the same as last year’s, it is based on

significant amounts of financial aid, the only thing that the national bank promised to not print again hryvnias well, let's see how it will be, let's see how it will be. dmytro boyarchuk, executive director of the analytical center, case ukraine, was on our air . thank you, mr. dmytro. films, each of which will tell about one of the ukrainian artists , artists who did not go abroad and continue their creative path. in ukraine , there is such an impression that history just entered now, yes, at such a moment, where is everything it simply gathered in it as linearly, that's what happened there that we remember then, it was a

kind of drag, but now it's like it's all at one moment and we see that well, everything is repeated, but how the place and meaning of the artist and his work change. in a country that fighting, watch in the new tv series from the docnot film studio, the unification of babylon 13 , art in the country of war, from january 16, on weekdays from monday to friday at 11:10 on espresso , the war continues and not only for territories, it is also a war for the minds of russia, millions petrodollars rushes to turn ukrainians into little russians ukraine state of the highway dissection and analysis of information about ukraine by russian propagandists specific facts and methods by which hostile propaganda turns people into obedient zombies for the net plans to vote residents of the ldr let's counter the information attacks of the russians in the project of the chronicle of the

information war with olga len tuesday, thursday at 11:40 a.m. and friday at 1:00 p.m. on the espresso tv channel. good morning, dear friends , we continue the espresso marathon in the second hour . andriy seichuk lesya vakulyuk and fyodor venislavskyi, people's deputy of ukraine , mr. fedore joins us. good morning, i congratulate you. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes is not just a people's deputy of ukraine. a conversation with you from the latest information has already appeared on the telegram channel of kyrylo tymoshenko himself, he is holding his photo in his hands, his statement about his release,

yesterday's statement on 01.23. is written here is this photo he there i thank the president for the trust and so on for the opportunity to choose good deeds and at the end he writes that i have an honor, listen gentlemen, who will still write such a statement, i just want to ask you not to write an honor, i have this terrible tracing paper with russian honor no, why do it, but in principle the statement is probably good, mr. fedor, how can you comment on why kyryla tymoshenko resigned? and is it related to the many e-media scandals he was involved in? well, it is difficult for me to comment on why tymoshenko wrote a resignation letter. i think that there are some really media scandals. what did you call them? they played not the last role in general. well, you know. i understand that there is a certain position that he expressed

publicly. for sure, this position is not only his personally. but we have the result that we have next, we will monitor the development of events, there is also well, your parliamentary colleague oleksiy goncharenko said about this that it is also possible that similar statements have been written or will be written by the heads of the military civil administrations and the sumy region. valentyn bezdnichenko is also involved in a high-profile scandal with an investigation into a billion budget funds and a fitness trainer, i will remind you, in zaporizhzhia oblast, oleksandr starukh, something unexpected happened in kherson oblast, yaroslav yanushevich. can you confirm or deny this information ? i cannot officially confirm or deny information about possible resignations of the heads of military administrations, although, let's put it this way, there are

questions about many heads of military administrations, not only the deputy corps, but also among the citizens of ukraine, that is why i think that the announced changes in the personnel policy in terms of resignations and about which the president spoke this week will certainly continue and we will wait for the president's decision in those areas where he makes the decision on the resignation of certain officials mr. fedor and why are all these announcements about resignations possible and this announcement by kyrylo tymoshenko, it somehow all seemed to coincide in time, is it a coincidence or not ? well, you know, i think that there are very few coincidences in this world in general or they don't exist at all. i once told my students that coincidence is when we draw conclusions about consequences without understanding the reasons that caused them, so in this case, i think that there are certain processes that require

systematic work, systematic preparation, system analysis, and then appropriate decisions are made, you know, serhiy fursa reminded me yesterday in a follow-up that the system is characterized not by errors but by a reaction to errors. is this a certain reaction to errors in your opinion, and should we also see a continuation in e-e ministries in the government, or will they be there personnel reshuffles, in your opinion, maybe you know more, i absolutely agree with the expert here, the main thing is if there are mistakes and what kind of mistakes do they affect the normal functioning of the state mechanism, then they need to be corrected very quickly and if there are grounds for the dismissal of certain ministers and i see that the tendency is towards this, i think that there will indeed be some changes in the composition of the government and we will wait for the decision of the president accordingly, again because the president, the

prime minister, the people's deputies are acting sufficiently in such close coordination now, i will continue we will analyze it when the decisions are made, but it is premature to speak now, but there are questions for several ministers. about the purchase of food for the army, and you probably know about this publication of the mirror of the week, yuri nikolov, the founder of our money, an investigative journalist from the magazine on the project, and what conclusions did you draw for yourself, in particular, listening to the reports of the minister? is this the reaction on possible mistakes about some that we just mentioned with you, indeed yesterday there was a meeting of the committee on national security and defense intelligence, the

personal minister of defense oleksiy reznikov was present at the meeting of the committee, the deputy minister of defense vyacheslav shapovalov was present, the heads of the department of the relevant ministry were present of defense, representatives of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the general staff, as well as the heads of practically all the heads or deputy heads of the leadership, let's call it that, all law enforcement bodies whose competence includes the investigation of possible abuses specifically in the sphere of the ministry of defense, here i would divide the assessment provided by the committee and the assessment or personal opinions on this issue well, first of all, let's really say that at the meeting of the committee the minister presented the position and provided documents that they can certainly contain information about a certain uh, such uh, a certain bias in the evaluations

of certain circumstances, because first of all, the most important thing that citizens should know is that the ministry of defense of ukraine does not purchase food products, uh, what is it accused of the main accusation was that the ministry buys products at inflated prices. the ministry buys the service of organizing food for military personnel within the framework of a very clearly balanced daily cost of food, which is determined by an independent state expert institution, and those companies that provide food for military personnel offer a price somewhat even lower than that determined by experts. a number of companies that provide food at the same time , the calculation of the method of feeding military personnel is determined by taking into account the price catalog and the catalog of products by calorie content, which were approved 15-16 years ago, and there are really questions about this catalog

, because there, let's say, according to the conclusions of the committee members, there are certain corruption risks, and we immediately initiated the question of change yesterday in our committee today approaches in the methodology of calculating food products for military personnel, the minister noted that the eggs in that box and, accordingly, in the appendix to the contract, were determined in terms of caloric content and kilograms. let's put it this way, the committee believes that we really did not see such facts of abuse that are obvious to the general public and obvious to the members of the committee.
