[000:00:00;00] how did they sign a peace agreement in the 45th year? they didn't shoot, it will make them stop shooting. i think that our strategy should be. some uh these guys came and they set some base on fire well of course uh we are not cannibals and we are not going to hit residential areas there in the course or in belgorod, but we have to hit their airfield yes there so that ours will be somewhere else there to hit the kremlin tower or the general staff with a small turret so that some uh-uh would fly drone, well, it would be very, very cool. that is, to show that it is not promising . thank you, but the russians do not feel sorry for themselves

. they do not feel sorry for themselves. in israel, they have been there for 10 years, so they can fly in at any time. thank you viktor bondarenko, an expert from the bureau of analysis and politics of the u.s. sum, joined us. today about customs and also about a possible rollback in reforms andriy yanivskyi with economic news on espresso live as usual on weekdays at eight in the morning we meet with you today without exception you can watch us via satellite via cable and also on the internet if you do it's on the internet, please comment on this video , this stream, send the link to your friends and family , let them also know the economic news , let's start with the hot news about the trial of

andriy kobolev. so, the case of andriy kobolev detention or bail in the amount of uah 29 million. such a decision was adopted by the appeal of the higher anti-corruption court, which annulled the court's previous decision on recognizing as unfounded the petition of the special anti-corruption prosecutor's office to take into custody as the head of the board of naftagaz. the bail funds must be paid within five days from the moment announcement of the decision andriy kobolev himself stated in court that he did not commit crimes and acted within the law, and the decision on the award was made by the supervisory board. i will remind that the former head of naftogaz was informed about suspicion after he received a $10 million award in 2018. ukraine is ready to resume electricity exports to europe within a week, a member

of the supervisory board of ukrenergo yury boyko announced this. he noted that from the decision to the actual opening of exports, it takes a certain amount of time to hold an auction for the allocation of power if there is no shortage in the future, then in the near future we will be able to sell our own kilowatts and replenish the budget. the main thing is that there are no shellings , ukraine will receive $30 million in aid from sweden. about this the ministry of energy of our country reports, the head of the department, herman galushchenko, noted that the swedish government will allocate these funds to support the megate mission, which works at all nuclear power plants, this is necessary for observers who record the impact of russian attacks on our energy system, the minister emphasized that ukraine constantly receives financial aid from international partners as well as equipment for the restoration of strategic

objects that suffered as a result of russian attacks. okhtyrka commemorative medal national bank presented a new coin dedicated to the city hero okhtyrka in the first days of the great war took a huge blow, the city was surrounded but put up a strong resistance to the enemies, it was not possible to occupy it, symbolic signs were placed on the medal: a shining sun with lightning as a punishment for the enemies and a bird and as a symbol of liberation, this medal continues the series about the cities, the heroes purchased you can get a souvenir at the branches of the partner banks of the national bank of ukraine, namely privatbank, ukrgasbank, and oshchadbank, and now if you can get in touch with oksana, the executive director of the institute of economic research

kuzyaki, i have already seen oksana's smiling face . i greet you. good morning. good morning. or suspicions of other former e-top leaders of ukraine , in particular, andriy pivovarskyi was the subject of the former minister of infrastructure, e-e , there were statements about persecution. to be unfair to the former deputy minister of health and so on. and i was also very alarmed by the news about the dismissal, well, a formal transfer to another position, but still the dismissal of the head of ukrzaliznytsia p kamyshina, is it not working or

do you think that something is happening? it's not the same with our personnel policy and with court cases. well, we really have something going on with personnel policy a-ah and we see that uh-uh well , actually we see now that people who tried to make some changes they a-ah now well, let's say that our courts and law enforcement agencies have become the focus of interest, whether it is good or bad , well, in principle, i thought about it. well, it's not that you can't laugh, but in principle, trust in the judicial authorities is low in ukraine, and this is just

an indicator of how people, how we evaluate what is happening, that is, we have a group of people who tried to make changes is ours legislation that is very well, with which we should start, but starting from it, the reformers probably would not be able to do anything because, as they once told us at focus groups, entrepreneurs cannot do anything in ukraine violate that is, you will go if you want not to violate anything then you just sit quietly and do nothing and here we are talking about selective applications of justice and this is probably the most big problem and i have a question, for example. arises er why well, it is clear that if people they have violated something. they should be punished so that this offense is not repeated, but you know that, it’s the same as a car parked somewhere incorrectly and

the parking inspector starts with your car and you think, what am i? it's about why right now we're seeing this, that is, for whom it's beneficial, and i'd probably start with these issues, for our , so to speak, social discussion, who is it beneficial to and why do we er why er actually law enforcement structures turned me back to these people who, er, made changes , somehow, it seems that this is really some kind of complex, strange, and it seems to me that all of us, as a society, should ask such a question. and we, all of us

we are actively putting and what is happening because it is not clear if there is a violation, well, but well, we have a lot of people who violate a lot of things. its subscribers in facebook did it. doesn't it seem to them that these cases are somehow connected? there are very different opinions. some people consider some of the court cases to be fair. they say that there are different cases, different investigative bodies, and if we expected such actions from some old bodies , then here is the new anti-corruption infrastructure for this. i had a purely positive image in the media , but now it turns out that the national anti-corruption bureau knows how to persecute not only outspoken scumbags, i will not name them so that there are no court cases , but also people who, well, at least had such a positive reformist image of society and society. maybe it should be that everyone is equal before the law . let's really see what the court verdicts will be. thank you

, ms. oksana. what is happening in our customs office, are there any high-profile criminal cases? i know you are the customs office. are engaged very closely and follow the events at the border to be recently there have been a lot of high-profile news and about the change of leadership er and from time to time we read about these and other detentions er but er in general we actually if you look and this year is the year before the war, in principle, every time we have such loud detentions, or not so loud, some impressive amounts of contraband that was leaving or leaving ukraine, and still everything, nothing changes.

here it is exactly uh, this, again, this is also part of our normative legislative environment in ukraine, when uh, you if you follow the letter of the law, in principle, uh, people receive there , i don't know, business receives fines, we see that people are charged there for some offenses but if we look later and how many of these things got to the court, for example, and there were some verdicts there, uh , there were no officials in the same box, and there were no officials. the impression is that it is, you know, like a showcase, a showcase fight against something bad, because everyone understands that there is something wrong, but the essence does not change, because well, when we talk about customs, it is such a large circle of different interested parties who, well, have a certain

benefit of various of various kinds because customs - these are two such important points, this is security, and this is definitely money, taxes, e.e., customs revenues that may come from the budget or that may not come there, customs is the value of goods that are then transferred if we are talking about imports within the country and if that is what you say an unscrupulous businessman, so to speak, in an agreement with a group of other people, as they always say, unspecified. and if they did something like that, your product will simply be sold cheaper inside the country , you get a certain profit, when not it's just certain tomorrow you get a profit because the customs office has a huge number and interests , we recently presented the results of a study about this, we'll talk about it now , but i just want to summarize the story with

the prosecution of potential criminals and in the courts, i wanted to express this opinion to you so that maybe experienced corruptors they are already so sophisticated and are so good at hiding their tracks that they simply do dark things in such a way that it is difficult to apply the law to them, that is, they do not put they use fake people for their signatures and so on , but the reformers who tried to simply change something in the country, they thought more about changes than about the formal formal side of what is happening and accordingly violated something. corruptors, they actually change. that is, there are no such, you know, corruptors. we have already had so many changes in the last 10 years, and the powerful teams of people who were in power, that is, here the language is

understandable in a kind of steppe, but so is b in the procedures themselves and in the system itself it allows it to be done, it even motivates to do it in certain cases , that is, here it is a systemic problem if the system is in the system it can be done, it means there will be people who will do it, they will hide something there, then traces therefore it is necessary to change the institution itself, i.e. the rules themselves and the attitude towards them in the same way, now about the research, you really conducted such a detailed study of exporters and importers. how do they live there at the customs? what are the main conclusions from the fact that you have researched the main conclusions are actually quite simple and they do not change a-but recently business needs certainty, but in fact uh it is money we know that money likes silence and

uh it is clear as i am and what to do and just when we have customs, what changes are happening, for example, last year we had a war, it had a significant impact on our whole life , but, for example, the management of customs, it was just a long enough period without changes, and we did not record, for example, such problems but when we were already making a presentation, there were already changes in management, there were loud arrests and business that we had here , there were several representatives of the embassman's office and we were publicly. it turned out that you know, we would like certainty together and so that every week our management does not change and it is clear that even the new management has the authority to do something because when the leadership is in the status of acting, well, he is in any case

even if he was really such a strong reformer who would like to do something, he simply cannot do it because there are no powers of the acting status, this is the first and second, well, questions that were relevant before the war, and they are probably in the background of all these new phenomena like long waiting time and queues that arose not so much due to the peculiarity of the work of the customs or border service, but actually due to the shortage and, well, the low ability to pass the entire flow of goods that, due to the war and the closed export routes by sea, went through the western the border is, in principle, a new story. and here, once again, it could be resolved in different ways, it could be an electronic queue, but we still hear that there are separate tickets in

the electronic queue, so to speak, that is these are new phenomena, that is, you have to wait for something, and here we are starting to have a traditional problem , so to speak top 3 or top four problems which the business faces when they say that they are going through customs, that is, the biggest problem is the waiting time, the queues and the main offers, so that the business would like, they traditionally would like, well, this time more than before wars of automation of procedures, they would like to understand the procedures and minimize the human factor, well, here it is clear that digitization is very important, and it is true , with a computer, a computer is a bribe, don't give it, don't give it, he doesn't need it but for to

do digitalization of any kind procedures or processes, first of all, it is necessary to clearly write out these procedures and, well, to have such an algorithm that would suit everyone and this is it. well, it seems to me that it would be so key. the indicator is changed every year by the monitors, in fact, there have been no changes, the business is good enough , it is not bad, it evaluates this work precisely because of what they say. an interested party of changes, business is often an interested party that clear rules are understood and are the same for everyone, it is bad, but it is foreseen yes, i completely understand that changing something in general is very difficult, ms. oksana, the last

question is not very much. some minute, maybe we have time, but the question is possible. it is stupid some, but in my opinion, we want to join the european union. well, why don't we just cancel all these customs restrictions on our side, anyway , in the future there will be no border between our countries, we strive for this. let's do it such a good step towards europe, if they want to check something, let them check. and we will be open. is it impossible for some reason, and here the key thing in your phrase was in the future, because when did ukraine become a member of the european union? customs policy and the customs system is common, but apart from that, we once did such a study, and if we just give ukraine a member of the customs union, then it would not even be very profitable for us, there are no

other such bonuses, membership because we we have better terms with trading partners there in certain cases, but when we become a member of the european union, i understand all the advantages that membership gives, it means they will cover it all, but now what is important is customs - it is security, and accordingly, ukrainian customs carries a certain responsibility to other customs authorities that it meets the requirements , we do the work it is supposed to do, checks during the war, our state budget , customs, and this is money in our budgets, so when we become members of the european union, members divide this is what the duty they collect at the border is very by the way, it is an interesting and interesting work , let 's talk about how to divide money. of research and i

it bobula on facebook, this is because we are protected by our armed forces of ukraine and when in we have requests, so we ask you to join and help with bogurt, you know what and now we can already thank you because the collection was closed, that yesterday we asked you to join , we were collecting a special thermal sight for the soldiers of the company named lebijihan and have already collected all the necessary amount. thank you very much thank you e. how much was needed there, remind us 280,000, it seems like that’s how they all collected , thanking you very much. maybe i should also say that you mentioned ivo bobula at ivo bobula today , by the way, in chernivtsi at the regional philharmonic the concert is called at 19:00 and there will be a day and there will be a victory and i will tell you that the soldier is all sold and let there be different hmm well different his

detractors say nothing about his creative talent people come dress pay money come to listen to his voices trade unions yes no one he doesn't say anything, on the contrary, everyone remembered that we have ivo bobul. thank you. let him sing there. for the sake of victory , everyone is on his own front . well, are you in the know and have you heard about what is currently boiling over on facebook ? are you not interested in that at all? as they say, this is just a test. have you heard that everyone here is actively discussing ivo bobula's interview? no, i haven't heard of it. i will definitely inquire if there is time after our broadcast, for today i am in the bahamian direction like the entire third separate assault brigade, the situation here is tense. that is why i am at work all the time when

the charity concert ends today , part of the money will go to support the armed forces of the armed forces of ukraine. thank you, ivo bobul, for supporting the troops good day, because i literally read today that people are what scandals because the armed forces of ukraine are now doing not human work. yes, but thanks to this work, just a part of ukrainians can afford to worry about quite mundane things, of course we all live and all our prayers are here in bakhmuti, tell me what the situation is there now, just as of now, with the scanner, now the situation is tense, the enemy, if you can say so, the pace, and if the format is three or four months, because they are under bakhmout there was high, so now he has not changed the pace in order to speed up his efforts

to capture the city of bakhmut directly from its surroundings , in principle the situation today is difficult, but it is fully controlled by the armed forces of ukraine. a video of a magyar and his unit, the guys expressed their wishes there. well, from what i understood , people are tired people are calling on ukrainians to mobilize and support the ukrainian army not only in word but in deed. and the third thing is that there is a certain lack of ammunition in bakhmut in those units stationed there . is it clear that the main problems of the ukrainian defenders of the ukrainian city of bakhmut

are the main problems? during this world day and even at night for this we need a lot of ammunition to repel the enemy's attack and there are certain problems with the amount of this ammunition because the number of orcs that advance to our positions is simply incredibly large compared to the second uh-uh, this is the fatigue of the personnel. there are certain problems with uh-uh in this, in this plane of the question, because you understand, first of all, the weather conditions, which, let's say, are not entirely favorable for conducting hostilities and staying in fortifications that is, it is the frost of the soul, the weather is bad, and there are certain problems with the immunity of the fighters, there are many diseases and so on and so on, and it

is very exhausting, if the enemy kills whole battalions in our defense, then we have one and the same battalions on those from the same places, the same brigades are holding the defense, therefore , based on this, i will proceed to the first aspect , which you spoke , who spoke, because it is very important now to use this time and help the virgins , that is, every man must now realize that his country is under threat of destruction and this time that is now won by the armed forces of ukraine will be won by every soldier and officer on the front line, this is the time for those who are in the fall in order to

have time to prepare for training and of the defense of our country in the same ranks from the armed forces of ukraine, rodions, what are the moods among the brothers, it is clear that it is very difficult, it is clear that what is going on, but what are the moods now, what are they talking about, i will say for the third separate assault brigade, the moods, callsigns, are ready, are ready to work ready to launch a counterattack, ready to hold all the scraps uh, which are assigned to us for combat tasks until the end the day before yesterday, it seems that the president said that there will be reinforcements for those fighters who are defending bakhmut. do you feel that it has already arrived

or are you still waiting for it ? its side exactly in this direction, god forbid, it will happen if , well, that is, whether we are ready to leave bakhmut in the event of a strategic need, or are there such conversations now, this is a big question that relates to another strategic, let’s say yes, at the management level, but uh, the servicemen of the armed forces of ukraine are ready to carry out orders, now we have an order to hold the defense of bakhmut, to hold the defense of the adjacent territories in order not to give the enemy the opportunity to close the ring, so uh, we will carry out combat tasks as we perform today's task thank you for your work and for participating in the espresso broadcast, kudryashov’s deputy commander of the third assault brigade
