has enough resources to complete the heating season in normal mode. this statement was made by denys shmyhal , the prime minister of ukraine. about 11 billion cubic meters of gas are stored in warehouses . more than a million tons of coal, in addition, in the near future naftogaz will purchase additional volumes of fuel for this, the grand of the european bank for reconstruction and development will go to almost 189 million euros for half of the winter, all the attempts of russia plunging ukraine into darkness and cold have failed, and the state of the power system remains difficult, so we have to adhere to energy consumption limits and give out unfortunately, emergency shutdowns in case of exceeding them, we are working with partners to increase the supply of autotransformers, distribution devices, generators and other equipment, we are

jointly developing new tools to support those households who seek to establish alternative sources of energy seek to increase the import of electricity from europe families with children can get monetary assistance from the state must be submitted on the portal before this, the amount of the payment depends on what criteria the recipient meets, such a project is currently in the testing stage, the ministry of social policy informed that assistance will be available to adoptive parents to people who take care of a sick child, citizens with disabilities since childhood and children with disability to single mothers or fathers who are not married italy wants to completely abandon russian gas by the winter of 2024-2025, he announced this the director of the largest italian oil and gas

company, annie claudio discalzi, i am optimistic that we will be able to reduce russian gas supplies to zero in the winter of 2024-2025 quotes the words of mr. claudio, published by ansa italy has already signed agreements with several countries on the expansion of alternative energy sources after russia's invasion of ukraine, in particular algeria russia has been replaced by the largest supplier of gas to italy, and now we will talk with our guests, financial analyst, investor of the icu group mykhailo demkiv and associate by the experts of the analytical center case ukraine yevgeny dubogriz i congratulate you good morning so the cabinet of ministers of ukraine on tuesday, january 24 appointed the supervisory board of naftogaz, this is a large

state -owned oil and gas company. yevgeny, let's start with you. of course, the news is important, it is important in the context that our largest company did not participate, so it is necessary to implement corporate governance practices, at least in order to reduce corruption risks and risks of misuse of funds, risks of unprofitability, that is why supervisory boards are created. but in the short term, right now, it is generally very important. from the so-called structural beacons, i.e. ukraine's obligations to the international monetary fund, those five steps and structural beacons that ukraine had to fulfill earlier must be fulfilled by the end of january of this year, that is, there is less than a week left, and one of the five structural beacons

has been completed. one more beacon concerns bills that regulate tax relations, two more structural beacons - this concerns the fiscal sphere, that is, develop a concept so that there are no a-a debts according to revenues, so that revenues to the budget were on time and that there was adequate social assistance and the latest structural beacon - this is a national bank, together with the imf, must develop a methodology for assessing the quality of bank assets. we are approaching the fulfillment of these structural beacons of fulfilling our obligations to the imf , and this will allow us to further count on a full-fledged program with the imf, that is, the program under which the imf will finance us and give us a loan , and this is extremely important in view of the fact that we have

large planned revenues this year, the budget from international partners is about 308 billion dollars and a loan from the imf in general, the relationship with the imf, the program with the imf, this is extremely important considering the fact that it is such an indicator that ukraine trusts the imf. you can credit it, provide financial assistance, and this election of this independent supervisory board of naftogaz is a big step towards the fact that we show that ukraine fulfills its obligations, that ukraine can be trusted , we signed up, we took the next step for you, mr. mykhailo and in which financial in general, naftogaz of ukraine is in good condition. i understand that these are difficult times for state-owned companies, that they are profitable and unprofitable. if we make a loss, how do we

close this loss? of the naftogaz company it's not right now that the reform is starting, which has been going on for many years, and here it is, somehow in a spiral. last year, the company found itself in a situation when the supervisory board was no longer working, it was completely dismissed the cabinet of ministers performed its functions and the culmination of all this was the default of the naftogaz company in the summer of last year. now, in fact, a reboot is taking place. i could catch up, i could work normally, i could raise funds properly, er, er, a grant from the hebrews for about 200 million dollars, which was announced yesterday, er

, funds are needed for the purchase of gas, but a little earlier there was a story about the fact that er, mr. prem the minister said that there is enough gas in storage to last this heating season, and indeed there is gas. and fortunately, the winter this time turned out to be not very fierce, but we need to purchase additional additional volumes of gas, for which we need to raise funds. in order to leave funds it is necessary to show about one's good intentions. and here it is necessary to understand that because of our nation's energy infrastructure, gas generation is growing in our country, add, add, which needs additional, additional, cool gas consumption, in addition to that already preparations for the next heating season have begun for a long time.

i don't know if there will be intense military operations at that time, whether they hope for it or not, but in any case, next winter will also be difficult, since it is unlikely that the infrastructure will return to that i will be which was before the great war and, accordingly , additional volumes of gas will be needed and for this winter, we as a country are already preparing. evgeny mentioned the international monetary fund. countries of the european union, and the imf somehow, well, was not there. for the first time, it was on the first line. yes, on the first line of our partners, aid was provided. as far as i understand, it is actually in the amount that we returned to the fund, that is, in addition. we did not receive anything. can we count on

loans from the international monetary fund this year, and in general, what is the state of our cooperation? that's how i think this year we can count on funds from the international monetary fund. eh are not necessary eh, the fact is, but cooperation - the imf is necessary. the fact is that eh, western partners such as the european union, the united states, in principle, have already made such serious promises regarding the financing of the eh budget deficit of ukraine in this year and in in principle, these funds are sufficient and the attraction of additional financing from the imf is, well, let's say it is uncertain at the same time for the 24th year, next year we have to think about it, the funding source of funding is not yet available -e are not clear , perhaps it would be

more national for the ministry of finance to postpone not taking money from the ministry of internal affairs now, but to count on these funds in the next year, while the very cooperation with the imf is the implementation of all these e-e mentioned beacons a signal to the owners of the donor countries that we are here we are moving in the right direction, that is, to conduct this kind of thing as an institution that checks the creditworthiness of ukraine, reliability and as a partner, but it costs. personally, i would take from the imf already next year, because it is not known. this year we count on approximately 38 billion 40 billion according to various estimates from the usa and europe, not the same as in the past, these are our main creditors mr. yevgeny do we need money from the imf this year or do you agree with mr. mykhailo that it is possible to postpone this request to next

year on december 24, first of all i have to disagree with you that the imf did not help us last year the imf did very significant things last year considering their bureaucracy and first of all gave us at the beginning the invasion of russia, the so-called repetitious financing. that is, this is such a special program. rather, it is not a program for special transport for ukraine, which was not issued before, and secondly, he generally reviewed his policies and procedures and created a completely new program for ukraine, the monitoring program bart what is now there is no money in the action that is currently signed to us, but this is an indicator that the imf is with ukraine, it really helps ukraine to attract other funds, to attract donor aid and financial support . that ukraine should allocate money and at the same time these are loans and not

grants. in other words, this is what our partners perceive as the fact that ukraine will work and will be able to give loans after victory. yes, the imf and analysts say that we don't need the imf, that's why we don't need it at all now, no, the imf. we need it, and if they give us money, let 's take it for the funds we need for everything, for recovery and for future development. well this week, the so-called financial rammstein is supposed to take place, as the prime minister called it, mr. shmagal, what kind of event is it, where will it be, how will it take place, do we know anything now, or can we only talk after the fact, yevgeny, we will continue with you. would say very briefly the fact is that for now it is just like a secretary and a constructive council. it is not yet known what will grow from this body, and maybe it will be something

analogous to rammstein of the military, where they are going to allocate aid there, maybe it will be some bureaucratic body that will, on the contrary, inhibit this aid yes. therefore, it depends on us how we will proceed, how we will insist that this body works and what kind of help we will need, that is, here now i think that the ball is on our side, mr. mykhailo, is there anything to add to the words, do you work in the emergency department the company can and you are invited there to go to this financial rammstein, when the word rammstein was associated exclusively with music, now where is it associated with such positive news , types of e-e about providing ukraine with various types of weapons, the effect accelerates victory. i hope this e-e will spread to the financial and well, this financial collected unfortunately, there is still

not enough information, but what we should focus on in the near future is what funds we will be talking about, we already mentioned today about 38 billion dollars, approximately the amount of funding that i, in principle, ukraine already for this year it was promised and on which ukraine is counting on that in principle in a situation where there is a constant negative flow of news, there is no certainty where we have reason to speak there with obere with some caution about the possibility of holding the exchange rate for a fairly long period of time about the growth of reserves about other positive things, that's why i would focus on whether it will actually be about this previously promised money or, well, i hope that it will be about some new partnership projects of ukraine, primarily with international

financial institutions, insurance by insurers for some specific infrastructure restoration projects, this moment will surely be a key one that will be worth paying attention to. well, the last topic for our discussion, we have literally three minutes left, so i’ll ask you to be brief, tomorrow the national bank of ukraine will traditionally review the discount rate this is actually the value of money in the economy, and in this way the national bank of ukraine regulates inflation , that is, if credit funds become expensive, it is accordingly not very convenient to spend them and not it is very nice and the prices are rising more slowly, if i explained everything correctly, of course, mr. yevhen, you are a former employee of the national bank of ukraine. can you tell us some secrets? is it possible that the rate will be revised or should it be

revised? in such a fairly unambiguous signal, in my opinion, e-e published the results of the discussion of the monetary committee, from which the majority of analysts, in my opinion, concluded that the national bank should revise the extension downwards at a faster rate than previously announced, because previously the national bank had such intentions that the rate would remain at the level of 25% until the second quarter of the 24th year, now it looks like it will be accelerated because inflation in our country is lower with the economy and especially with international reserves there the situation is somewhat better than the national bank expected in the summer, and when i changed the interest rate, the impression is that the national bank will lower the rate at a faster rate, or will it be uh, right tomorrow . to be honest, i ventured to predict that nothing now it is when we are in the active stage

of negotiations with the imf. and when there is some uncertainty , the national bank seems to me that it will not revise the rate tomorrow, but maybe it will give some other revisions. in any case, there will be a very interesting briefing from the heads of the national bank, and i will add that we have invited the deputy chairman of the national bank of ukraine to the entire broadcast on friday. if he can, of course, join, i will be glad to to see, mr. mykhailo, will there be good news if the rate is revised, or was it premature? i think it is premature, i do not expect a change in the rate, but actually according to the change in the reserves that yevhen said, there is such a possibility, this is an unpleasant moment for the banks, they are due to such a decision, they will earn less. there will be an incentive to invest more in the private sector at auctions, well, that is,

to borrow more from the government. for the rest of the citizens, it is probably a positive step, because it means that the printing of money, which was last year and established about 400 billion uah in this this year, most likely, it won't be. january is almost over. in january, there was no printing of money, as promised at first. the government and the national bank still have such a right according to the memorandum with the imf. there is no need for this. and this decision is important in that respect. and plus i want to say that now, january, january, in the meeting of the mental committee, it is accompanied by a review of the macro forecast , that is, some vision of how the economy will grow or will it fall, and the directions in which it will move, this is also the moment for tomorrow it is worth paying special attention

thank you, mr. mykhailo, we were joined by mykhailo demkiv, a financial analyst of the isu investment group, and yevhen dubagrys, an associate expert of the case ukraine analytical center. together we will win cinema, television, sport, music, education, free people have a choice, choose what you want on megogo, art in the

country of war, a series of documentary films, each of which will tell about one of the ukrainian artists, artists who did not leave for border and continue their creative path in ukraine, the impression is that history just entered now, and at some such moment where everything just gathered into it as linearly, so what happened there that we remember then was a kind of drag, but as if it is now everything in one moment and we see that well, everything repeats itself, but how the place and meaning of the artist and his work change. in a country at war, see in the new tv series from the studio docnotfilm, the association babylon 13 has become art in the country of war from january 16 on weekdays from monday to friday at 11:10 on espresso , weltrum battery stations are designed

specifically for military needs, sealed , shockproof, work in difficult weather conditions, these stations will significantly increase the combat capability of our defenders, the espresso tv channel, together with the forpot tua charity fund, launched a new collection of funds for the purchase of powerful portable battery stations with solar panels for our soldiers, we will transfer the first five stations to the 406th separate artillery brigade named after major general oleksiy almazov join the gathering let's get closer to victory together glory to ukraine good morning once again marat continues on espresso andriy seichuk lesya vakulyuk we work for you in this studio andriy saichuk wants to tell you something listen well , first of all, to ukraine sweden can also provide

10-12 of its stock tanks, it's pretty cool because these are improved versions of the german leopards of the fifth well, we also learned that 8 can transfer their leopard tanks to norway , and this by the way. it would seem a little, but they have only 36 pieces. so what this is 25% of all tanks which only norway has. so this is still a strong gesture, this is pretty cool. well, for now, let's talk with volodymyr molchanov, let's talk with a political scientist from kherson. good morning, volodymyr. good morning. greetings in kherson. he was restless this morning. another shelling and again in the maternity hospital, it is not surprising, in fact, that is, the enemy is fighting with hospitals with maternity hospitals, first of all, from the children's

hospital, so there is nothing unusual, let's say, and, moreover, it is possible the tendency to catch that after successful hits on themselves on their military as it happened yesterday in oleshki where they covered a company of officers in a restaurant where hmm it is between the housing of the village and the center of the city, then they are similar there and went crazy with rage and this is how they took revenge on the maternity hospital, although here it seems that there are no victims because everyone is already used to such behavior of the fascists, and of course the rashists themselves are now using their resources to disperse the topic of the future ukrainian offensive on nova kakhovka, let's say that's how they perceived it

a raid that apparently took place yesterday by the ministry of defense's main intelligence agency on the island of m-m opposite the village of lviv , the island that is located between the main channel of the dnieper and the konka strait eh, where you have no road and thus use the eh- these floats also control them and use them for shelling the right bank, that’s where the ukrainian raid took place, there was such a rather powerful preparation, this is what is confirmed even by conditionally adequate russian resources, but what happened next , you know, where it looks like a struggle against the successful fight against the ukrainian concrete dyers, they tried to land a-a

in the energodaru area at the beginning of autumn, when russian propagandists destroyed a dozen of these bars there, along with hundreds of paratroopers. in 1943, the abutment of the bridge that the germans did not have time to complete between nikopol and kamianka-dnieper, which now protrudes from the kakhovsky reservoir. means with large landing forces, well, but on the other hand, this raid, if he reports it to the main directorate of intelligence, then this hmm, from the point of view of intelligence, everything that has become known is not very successful, that is, they probably got a light there and retreated after making a noise. that is, it was so a-a the only thing that can be said

is that the artillery really caused some damage to the enemy artillery observers who were sitting there. that’s roughly the news on the front right now. it’s really such a daring raid . it is interesting that officially ours reported that there were 12 of them minus the rashists and the armored personnel carriers were burned, well , it can be seen in principle on the video. and i also see the video that the ministry of defense has just posted. two boats seem to be all there were, even such boats, just all-in-all, but here what the russians reported that it was really a full-scale assault, literally forcing the dnipro. that’s what there are, some 100 died there, something, tanks, everything in the world. here you go they told some fairy tales, well, but in

reality, i understand this way, the video shows that it was just a very small group, such a subversive, in fact, special operations forces that went in and conducted this night operation under the cover of darkness and, er, fog, and quickly returned to exaggerate, it carries a lot. well, i say what do they have, if there is serious art training there or some other big noise, then they are already creating some kind of picture of the apocalypse from this noise, sometimes for themselves , sometimes for us, for their opponent, well actually the intensification of night shelling in general , the last few days have been quieter for kherson, but for me the previous ones are not always difficult for the population points. you can say that, but it is characteristic that over the last week, most of the victims on the right bank

were not injured by russian shelling, but by a mine explosive injuries, and there is already a big problem here, and maybe even i will say now that there is a significant underperformance of our military administrations, which have finally waited for some kind of replacement, although it is unlikely that it will be adequate. well, that is another question management system in the conditions of martial law, the system is inadequate. i will say it right away. but if the topic is not the same now, then i can say that the reason why people are now going to the fields and to the former position of the russian troops is not that the people are there. trying to drive somewhere or walk short
