after ukraine, and this should always be kept in mind when stopping tanks, he said that this issue was discussed accordingly, and he also commented on the possibility of an attack on ukraine by belarus, he said that he would be very surprised if the belarusian troops will attack again and from the north, because they do not want to do this, there is no certain agreement among the armed forces of this country, but the fact that the russian troops can leave from that side, he admits and says that russia is preparing for revenge , but in this revenge, it has lose , we will hear, we really fought and no, this is the main signal from the entire ukrainian people to the

belarusian people, it is very important for us that belarus does not lose its independence and does not enter, regardless of the influence of anyone, into this absolutely shameful war this morning, the president of finland, after arriving in ukraine, he already visited bucha and borodyanka and told about his impressions, said that he met two people, it was a father and a son who had signed up for the territorial defense earlier. they were, er, a veterinarian, er, one of them was a veterinarian. and now they are defending their country, he was very impressed by what happened in the kyiv region . after it was liberated from the russian military, what the russian military did there, i will remind you that finland provided only 12 defense aid packages for ukraine, the last one at 600 million euros became the largest besides military aid we

are also provided with generators and humanitarian aid 50,000 refugees in addition to this everything was accepted in finland and in fact they also talked about the next package of european union sanctions which is currently being prepared the president stated that the president of ukraine stated what is needed so that russia cannot circumvent the sanctions that have already been implemented and that is why we will pay attention to the eu in the next package of sanctions, we also talked about russia's responsibility in the international court in in the future, he also thanked mr. zelenskyi for the support of the zionists in

this matter in the studio. thank you from the capital. 12 aid packages in ukraine, the minister of foreign affairs of germany, nala na berbok, spoke today before the deputies of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe in strasbourg. it is quite expected that the foreign policy factor department of the federal republic of germany mentioned ukraine and was also forced to answer a direct question from the deputies. i wonder when the official berlin will finally make a decision on providing ukraine with leopard tanks. what did analena burbeck answer? espresso correspondent in strasbourg tetyana vysotska will tell. good afternoon, the studio is really the main intrigue of this day and anna's speech elena berbok, in the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, said what she would say about the leopard, what is the current position of the german government, and in fact, in her forty -minute speech, she said many times mentioned ukraine, but never about

leopards. anna olena berberg, in particular , recalled that on january 10 she was in ukraine and also visited kharkiv. she very fondly recalled her visit to the heating station and conversation with ukrainian youth, but the pressing questions did not linger and eh anna olena berbek received three questions from deputies from norway, great britain and ukraine. it was oleksiy honcharenko, but when will the parties already be in ukraine or will they make this decision ? god confirmed her words that she said a few days earlier that she personally believes that the leopards of ukraine should be handed over, including not only the leopards but also the air defense systems. she particularly emphasized that we cannot be neutral in the war with ukraine. europe cannot be neutral, but she made it clear that at the level of the german government, this questions all that remains open and

discussions continue let's listen acts in direct language peace is not only tanks although this is an important issue and that is why we are discussing it so intensively in my government and that is why we are already providing cheetah marders armored vehicles and other things that are being decided right now, such as air defense systems, i fully support. we need everything for you so that ukraine can protect its state, your children, your grandparents, it is also about protecting peace in europe, of course it is about additional supplies of military equipment to ukraine. about tanks of the air defense system or ammunition, but unfortunately, this may not be able to prevent the fact that the war will continue, other factors are also needed among other factors that ukraine needs for in order to win, anna olena burbek called humanitarian aid, aid for the reconstruction

of infrastructure, aid for energy issues, aid for currency exchange, and this is something that not only germany can do, but every eu country, e.e., anna olena burbek said that even if we provide leopards, unfortunately won't stop, but this is no reason for the driver's state to point fingers at each other, as she said, because it will not bring peace to ukraine, and we are waging a war against russia, not against each other, anna olena said berda studio thank you colleague for the information about the work until the next meeting at oteria espresso from strasbourg, my colleague tetyana vysotska spoke in detail about the speeches at olena berbok in the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe well, in particular, we heard what the minister answered about leopard tanks let's go further 59-year-old a man and a 46-year-old woman received

information and analytical day of the tv channel espresso in the midst of the coming hours , we will analyze the situation in our country and beyond. no more competent experts and khrystyna yatskiv, together with antin barkovskiy, we will continue to monitor the most important alarm, retreated across the territory of our country, but in the case of the following signals, we must do not neglect your own safety, because the enemy does not sleep, we also have information about certain personnel decisions within our country, this applies not only to the direct office of the president of the cabinet of ministers hello or regional military administrations, but also supervisory councils, we will definitely

talk about this with our and the next guests , we also do not forget about the work that needs to be done inside our country despite the fact that the war is going on and somehow optimize the history with taxation in order to continue in our country pay taxes, our budget was filled. but at the same time, people still had the opportunity to survive on the money they earned , but we will talk about the tax reform and changes for business as a result of it with nina, a southern people's deputy member of the committee of the verkhovna rada on tax and customs policy ms. nino, we congratulate you glory to ukraine good day glory to the heroes with us too yuriy gaidai senior economist of the center for economic strategy p congratulations to you too yuriy glory to ukraine well, let's not go around for a long time, so to speak, so it's coming perhaps the

parameters of the tax reform are already beginning to be defined by ms. no, what can we expect from this tax reform, will they ultimately support our business, so to speak, or will they still give work, it seems to me that there is no tax number. because the statements that are now coming from the president's office are categorically not supported in the committee by the head of the specialized committee and the members of the committee. i think that this opposition within the faction is a servant of the people . reforms and at least some changes , what should be expected at the moment, we know that in the previous monitoring memorandum with the imf, the government undertook certain obligations, including in the part of the

administration of customs payments, i.e. the implementation of those reforms that should be implemented at the customs and the second part - this is about the return of tax legislation in some aspects to the level of pre-war standards and nothing else, it is obvious that today the country needs, you know, such a sober human view of the problems that business has that the laundering of working capital that e-e occurs due to the blocking of tax invoices due to the lack of expert reimbursement or its delay up to 160 days due to e-e difficult logistical paths that the business must go through in order to ensure export and so on because of those unstoppable conditions regarding the provision of the electricity limit, all

this leads to the fact that i simply predict the expected collapse is certain and obvious if it were not for the support of our partners, well, it's really great that the country has such support, but it really cools our the authorities and we do not see any steps that would allow us to say that we have exhausted all resources in order to support the economy itself now and for business to work in more or less secured conditions, at least those that are possible to ensure, well, accordingly, mr. guide, i would like to ask how do you see the possibility of tax reform, yes, i don’t need to be fair, and this member is just as sure that there is no during the presentation of his proposal that we are now in such a dilemma

between stimulating - to stimulate business development in order to support it well, both during the war and after the war, and on the other hand, we have a huge budget deficit, which is partly covered by our partners and partly, in fact, by printing money every month that is why we have any changes in the direction of reducing taxes. they always first of all raise the question of how we will compensate for it. i consider it a great achievement that this year our western partners really promised and started in january, we already started receiving funds, including from the european union, and this support should be at least sufficiently uniform throughout the year, this will already give us some macro stability, but we also need to understand what we do with the revenues that we have here, what is it worth to understand eh hm i was recently eh at the event

there one of such interest is devoted to the results of the year one of the big businessmen said that probably the least eh successful decision of the authorities for the past year was the introduction of eh benefits at the beginning of the war of temporary eh when entrepreneurs got the opportunity not to pay visas, when there was an exemption from vat because it caused such a significant failure in terms of revenues well, but in fact it did not have any good effect now that we are talking about what if we reduce taxes on this entire business you need to understand that business it is not created in order to pay or not pay taxes, a business is created in order to earn money and in order to then manage this money or invest it or consume it like this, that is, the entrepreneur made money, bought real estate,

something else simple for personal consumption and for other stakeholders and shareholders, the main idea behind reducing the tax burden and stimulating the growth of the economy is that let's let entrepreneurs earn more and then they will be more money to invest in the economy and it works like this in economies where first of all it is safe to understand that this is not a wartime solution because even if we now set zero taxes only very risky businesses in specific sectors will come here because anyway you you will not invest in the production line for such risks, some significant investments, but there is a second question, even when the war is over, we will not have serious business if we do not have protection of property rights, if we do not have it , because we can talk about the fact that switzerland the effective rate there is 10-12%, that is why the business

enters there because of the transfer pricing. this is a country where business feels protected in terms of protecting its rights, protecting its funds, and this is exactly what we need to do in the first place for businesses. it is important to have infrastructure. that is , i recently spoke with an entrepreneur who made a discovery for himself that when do you work all over the country, but you can't fly as before by plane to a meeting, for example, from dnipropetrovsk, from dnipro to lviv, or there in transcarpathia, or quickly get to the east, or to the north, then you lose this activity, it's your business to control when, for example , the road is opened to mariupol, a faster e-e from central ukraine, which went through

zaporizhzhia, business began to develop rapidly there, precisely because of that, and infrastructure - this is really important, and here the question arises for us - what are we focusing on, whether we will reduce taxes or so that we ensure the conditions under which business will flourish and pay these taxes, i would then briefly e-e p rostyslav, there are many such sober national proposals for him with which i will agree , but the biggest question for me, again, is that er, how does he propose to compensate for the reduction in tax rates, that is, it was not announced now, um, the turnover tax is certain , er, i don’t think so. well, first of all, it is not clear why his business will pay this tax and not come up with good ones for him too schemes optimizations such as now exist for the same, for example, vat or for payroll taxes. and secondly, it is necessary to understand that the turnover tax in any case is always more of a burden on the poorest, that is, if the business saves something somewhere, then if we compensate for this savings due to taxes

from the operation of the diary there is what people buy in stores what you consume what are other businesses there will buy there it will be a burden on the poorest and the same by the way, if there are not enough revenues and the government will be forced by the ministry of finance to compensate for this with increased by the second printing of funds, that is, by issuing a larger number of bonds and their redemption, then this is also inflation, which in fact is also a tax from which the largest suffer . opinion as a person who knows very well what the administration of public resources is and how this whole thing works, we have reasons not to believe the minister of defense mr. reznikov, but at the same time there is no reason not to believe the journalist as well investigator, i would like to draw

a big, bold line under the scandal that is causing unprecedented damage to ukraine, both externally and internally. i don't know how to refer in such a way so that they say yes here okay here honestly and so on and so on, with your permission i still want to finish the previous topic because i do not agree with mr. yuriy it is simple for him to emphasize a problem that is currently very troubling for business in our country with vat, there are huge distortions and they continue to provide benefits when importing there, but at the moment a large draft of the law is being prepared for us when importing goods , large groups of enterprises

will be exempted from payment of vat and various customs duties at the same time the coffers are empty and our exporters who buy here on the territory of ukraine with vat various groups of raw materials, components and so on cannot often receive regrets and i am already afraid that with vat we now have to think seriously about what to do further, because we do not give our exporters the opportunity to develop, and further, we have stopped all the reforms on the value added tax that have been started and we are going somewhere in a completely wrong way, so here we must now pay attention to the realities. and look at the taxes that are now will be paid in the country, but to really assess the state of affairs taking into account all the changes adopted in the legislation regarding purchases , you know, yesterday i had such a

uh, i just felt shame, shame for my country, where civil servants in this terrible the period did not stop from the habit of doing something , as you know, exhausting resources, they say that in fact ukraine is a very poor country because so much is stolen from the budget on various purchases on various schemes, and the country holds on, the country endures and, of course, it cannot break out of the circle of poverty, it cannot actually implement reforms that are necessary for us as a european country but still, somehow we exist because when we talk now about procurement why did the country learn this from investigative journalists why does the system of all control bodies not work in our country are still at the stage of approving drafts of

such purchase documents already working. and preventing such signing of such contracts for the purchase of products is the biggest problem in our country, and while our bodies are the same bureau of economic security, which is precisely their task to establish these chains of possible acts of corruption or misuse of funds from the state budget until then, we will only catch the tails, we caught one episode, and as they are written now from all telegram channels, there is an endless number because we have a large number of questions regarding the procurement of everything that is carried out by the military units of the ministry of defense during martial law, we, well, i do not want to repeat and in general speak publicly, these are examples, but

in fact there are absolutely what should the audit service of ukraine do now, which was multiplied by zero for some reason and it didn't work at all as it should. why don't all these chains work? by the way, this is about what i said in the first part. our civil services are not reduced at all. they have their obligations. its functions because now there are much fewer state functions but we need to monitor everything so that we understand what is happening now with public finances but that everything as it turned out will now take place because it turns out that some goods are not in pieces and in kilograms well, this is not funny at all this is already absolutely some kind of mockery of the people who actually analyzed and laid out an accessible table regarding the purchases carried out by the ministry of

defense, unfortunately, the country did not say goodbye to thieves and did not stop climbing into the state karman, and this will very painfully hit the gentlemen from the side of our partners, from the side of our creditors, who take money from their budgets and give courier aid, which aid is actually the only one that gives our country the opportunity to hold on during the war. to prove one's innocence, so to speak, and we understand that there must be some sort of investigative investigation. well, there are vultures and containers vultures and tolerances and so on and so on. i want to believe that this is really possible there was nothing, yuri, in your opinion, what mechanisms should be implemented as soon as possible, which would allow to avoid various strange situations, it is about public procurement

, it is actually superficial in that the previous team, which until the 17th or 18th year was engaged in with procurement reforms in the ministry of defense, they were not allowed to bring it to the end and did well, there was a rollback, who could see from there according to the procurements that took place in the 20th and 21st years in the ministry of defense, then i understand that the situation is actually terrible and the procurement system is built so that these trivia in fact, which is very well, in fact, yuriy nikolov was able to attract attention qualitatively. because of such loud names that people know how to feel, yes, of course, eggs are interesting and, of course, the situation is more complicated in that procurement is built, and contracts for food supply services are established, and then a fixed price for this service is established there 123 hryvnias and depending on what products are included in this package
