[000:00:00;00] uh, no, uh, s- not banking financial institutions , they are interested in that and they have been talking about it for a long time, why don’t they clean it up directly, or is there a process that they simply ignore or forget? are they so relevant, why not return to the publication of the course after all you understand. as an expert in international economics, i understand that this is purely due to the fears of the national bank that something might happen, but as we can see from this period . when this decision was made, enough months have passed and nothing terrible has happened. therefore, it is only because i think it is too much the national bank has great fears and we need to somehow return to publishing something can happen let's talk about what can happen considering that the state sector of the economy, that is, it is always after a full-scale invasion, the share

of the state has always been somewhere around 40 percent, now more is bad, good, then it will roll back, i think that we will immediately roll back because this is how the war began , many private investors withdrew their funds and closed their activities, but little by little we see how they are resuming their activities therefore, i hope that within the next period of months, the share of the private sector in the economy will grow. so here , this is an absolutely logical situation in war conditions, and it will be absolutely logical when they return, the more there will be a sense of stability in the country, the most important thing is definitely the more success there will be in ukraine , you said in the context of the exchange rate that we have a good, good

, economically sound year. continues and as the experts say, all the series will last as long as necessary, but well, it is unlikely, credits and loans and money from partners and a grain agreement, which is also not endless. and now the agrarians say that in the 23rd year certain problems may arise with sow and harvest, so in principle, well, we will be fine with the economy, because well, let's remember the forecasts of the imf , for example, which slightly improved them for the 23rd year , but they say that the 23rd year will be worse than the 22nd and for example, the russian economy is already suffering there at the level of 6%, and such forecasts of gdp falling, what will happen to our economy, well, the difference between the russian economy and the ukrainian one is that we have partners who help us, no one particularly wants to help russia, and first of all china, on which it is counting, so they already have a hole approx. in four trillion rubles in two months, as

far as the ukrainian economy is concerned, it is correct that the black sea embezzlement of the initiative that allowed ukraine to export grain at the level of one billion dollars every month and this so far, the dynamics are maintained, and therefore, if it were true, the problems, especially during the war, should have been similar to those without the war, nevertheless, for now, we see that various industries are slowly being restored, and this just gives the basis for the fact that the situation is not so bad, and the plus is that the help remains we see certain additional trenches coming from partners, plus cooperation with the international monetary fund .

they will help ukraine in every possible way, that is, our partners are getting money there, the economy is more or less starting up. everyone understands that, let's say, the fears that friend russia wants to repeat what happened a year ago did not happen , the winter is already over, they expected that it would be right before the beginning of march, that is, all this gives the basis of faith in the fact that, well, persevere . thank you, sir, for these optimistic forecasts. an expert on international economics was with us. we are moving on and the curfew equator has already passed. last from midnight to five in the morning. our correspondent ivan syretskyi saw how this time passed in the city. he is with us live for the third time. we are ready to hear from you if the previous hours were not so fruitful because there were only a few violators . tell me, please.

for now we know. it is still the darkest time before dawn , probably no one has been met at all, or violators still occur. congratulations, colleagues, as you can see now. at the moment , the streets of chernivtsi are quiet and calm, but still two violators, if you can call them that after all, during the previous hour, we discovered on the streets of chernivtsi these were people who are employees of critical infrastructure enterprises, that is, they knowingly violate the curfew, but they have every right to do so. these were employees of enterprises that remove garbage from the streets of chernivtsi. in fact, they were returning home after the night shift, er, the policemen, of course , checked their documents according to the procedure to see if they really have passes and as it turned out, everything was ok, let's listen to

the direct language where do you work documents the vehicle is you from work to work, we often stop drivers who are moving either to work or from work. these are the workers who will ensure the vital activities of the city and the region for such workers, respectively, there is a letter written for a certain time, what time do they have the right to move in the same way this driver presented us with a permit, he is really from one of the companies, i don't know how you colleagues are, i am personally pleased that we, together with the police , identify such curfew violators, so to speak. certain results of the first half of the curfew in chernivtsi, yes, together with the policemen, we discovered five drivers who were violators, let me remind you, these were two drivers who did not have time to return home in time by 12

o'clock, this was a volunteer driver who helps the armed forces and stayed there somewhere collecting humanitarian aid and he also has a pass from ova to move around the city during the curfew well and accordingly two employees of critical infrastructure enterprises in addition we met three pedestrians so far we have not seen anyone else and let's see let's find out in an hour we pass on the word colleagues thank you ivan sirey now about willful violators against when there is a pass when representatives of critical infrastructure work on the street who do they have too much right and this is not a violation ukraine has passed the most difficult period of the heating season which will last another 1, 5 months, but the country withstood the energy terror from russia, russia resorted to massive missile attacks on energy facilities and infrastructure, but experts

restored everything as quickly as possible it is possible in the homes of ukrainians it was warm and full of long-lasting form, but they also did not allow it, although in some places it is still necessary to resort to emergency power outages due to damage to the power grid, during the year, ukraine will carry out work to protect the distribution and control power grid, prime minister of ukraine denys myhal said this, however the technologies by which this will be done will not be announced for security reasons, and the head of the government said that many stations that generate electricity and heat for large cities already have systems against of air defense during the spring and summer, we have already developed the appropriate projects for protection against such concrete shelters, concrete covers to e-e deepening underground to a sufficient level so that missiles cannot damage the distribution network of distribution substations. we will do this work during this year in preparation for the next

heating season, in addition to this, of course, we will take technological measures to protect our generating units that actually produce electricity at the respective power plants well, about that what surprises can await ukrainians in the energy sector further on our broadcast maksym zborovskyi we continue the broadcast of the general national marathon the only news in the studio of the tv channel the council of aha omen maksym zborovskyi and volodymyr melnychenko director of energy programs of the razumkov center mr. volodymyr congratulations congratulations beautiful maksym inna lives without interruptions, in fact, how do you rate it now? to what extent do we manage to overcome

the most difficult period? well, i would like to remind you that during the war we were hit 255 times of money under 112 energy objects of the infrastructure of ukraine, but despite this, the ukrainian energy system survived and now works without a shortage of power and without a deficit without a shortage of electric energy transmission through networks, so hmm, so he said that this system is today although it is in an emergency state, it is still capable to provide our consumers with the necessary electrical energy, but the situation is rather shaky because a lot of equipment is damaged and

therefore may occur at any moment the situation in some regions and it will be necessary to introduce planned shutdowns again, can you tell us in more detail what factors actually helped us survive ? is it the international aid that arrived on time ? well, we have to thank the armed forces of ukraine, especially the air defense of ukraine, which means they did everything possible to preserve the energy system for due to the fact that they destroyed a lot of drones and rockets at the end of the autumn and winter period, they already achieved 80-85% accuracy, this

is definitely also the case with our energy workers who worked under fire in very difficult and climatic conditions , unfortunately, quite a few of them died wounded and they also invested in a very large contribution to ensure that ukrainians remained with electric energy. well, it is also necessary to mention the ukrainian energy companies, namely the company ukrenergo, which, starting from the middle of november, could apply a new approach that is, the energy system was working to prevent these attacks and the energy system was being unloaded due to the fact that there were no attacks by the rashists, and this made it possible to preserve the integrity

of the energy system as well as regulatory purity, that is, i named all the main three factors of volodymyr, the president of ukraine on march 1 volodymyr zelenskyi held a 3-hour long, wide-ranging meeting with our energy companies, in particular naftogaz , energoatom, ukrenergo, ukrhydroenergo, others were there, and an assessment of the passage of of the heating season, which is already smoothly flowing into the preparation for the next one. if the president says that we see risks and will find a response. and what risks can there be besides missile strikes as of now, if we are talking about the beginning of preparations for the next heating season, well, first of all , these risks are related to finances. that there are very large debts in the electric energy market, first of all, these are debts related to the balancing market, they

amount to about uah 14 billion, well, these are current debts, but in addition, there is a lot of debt arose under green generation, there are also current debts of about uah 18 billion just for the past year, solving the financial problem is this , i think it is the main one of the main tasks. of the electric energy market well, for example, you know that now it has already appeared on the led of these electric energy in connection with the fact that it has warmed and increased the day after that, we will return, volodymyr , to what you say there, that is, to the approaches

to the change of approaches, but this is the surplus that you are talking about at the beginning , you said that we have, uh, there is no shortage of power and there is no shortage of electricity transmission, but there is a surplus, it is because of this surplus that our street lights are on during the day, uh, i saw it with my own eyes yesterday and could not understand. and why is that? and if we still have a surplus, then can we sell this surplus and export it? roughly speaking, of course, today we have a small surplus in certain hours, and that's why even today something like this is happening the situation when electricity generation is limited, first of all restore energy sources yes and what is the problem here is that when there is a limitation, the company ukrenergo has to pay additional funds for green generation

, this creates an even greater deficit of funds for the company ukrenergo, which is already not small, so it would be better i think to consider the possibility of exporting electric energy in certain hours so that, firstly, the green generation could earn in this situation , reduce the debt tension, and on the other hand, ukrenergo, so to speak, increased its debts, in our opinion, the ukrainian energy system of the future should look like. well, we really hope that there will be no more russian shelling in our future, obviously , but the russians themselves are desirable. yes, but what challenges await us ahead and what should we pay special attention to ? that we really need

to fully integrate into the electric energy market of the european union and we have already done it from a technical point of view, you know that last year on march 16 the synchronization of our energy systems by the theoretical system of ncit operators, i.e. operators of the supply of the european union , but the so-called drop market has not yet taken place, that is, our conditions of the economic operation of our market, they do not correspond to today, unfortunately, the language of the european market . to call it not even a scam but a mechanism means strict price regulation, which is not typical for a country in the european union, and this leads to such serious distortions

of the market to huge debts and to the impossibility of attracting large investments, because no one will invest in the energy sector of a country where, in fact, there is an administrative, very strict regulation of prices , which means that it contributes to the creation of large debts. the first task that our government should do is our legislators to adapt our energy model of the electric energy market from the model of the european union and in this way it will allow to reduce debt problems and attract petitions, which in konche is

primarily necessary for the restoration of the energy systems and decarb is decarbonization, you know that today the main european center is the decarbonization of energy and ukraine has accepted the relevant obligations within the framework of the paris climate agreement . -e bioenergy and i think that it makes no sense in the future to already build or rebuild new coal blocks like that and it is more effective to replace coal generation by restoring energy sources with bees. this first of all, in the first paragraph, vladimir

, which you are talking about at the end, we have a moment, um, i want to ask you about how we will live in the summer, how likely is it that we will expect the same villa outages that were in the winter, but for other reasons, well, that is, the reason and the very overloading of the power system due to the fact that electrical appliances such as more powerful refrigerators or air conditioners will be turned on. yes, such risks exist. you know that nuclear power units will be decommissioned for this purpose during the period of the repair campaign of thermal generation units, and of course planned outages are also possible during this period, because without

repairing the main equipment of power generation units, we will not be able to prepare for autumn-winter period, but to what extent this will affect electricity, whether our consumers will be disconnected or not, it is difficult to say today , everything will depend on the supply and demand on the electricity market, on the state of energy system and from possible further russian strikes, thank you for this conversation . volodymyr melnychenko, director of energy programs of the razumkov center, was on the air of the general national marathon. yermak , head of the president's office. we will receive additional ammunition for the haivers

, artillery projectiles, ammunition for the bradley fighting vehicle , military equipment for the guidance of crossings , substandard equipment and funds for support military training and maintenance of equipment, how they adjust the budget of ukraine in order to ensure all necessary defense expenditures maksym zborovskyi and hanna homonai talked about this topic with roksolana podlasa, head of the budget committee of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, and our broadcast continues with roksolana podlasa , head of the budget committee of the verkhovna rada of ukraine now joining our broadcast is roksolana. congratulations , congratulations. glory to ukraine

, glory to the heroes. production of drones. can you tell me the details? well, it must be said that we, together with the government, the ministry of finance and the ministry of defense, are currently working on changes to increase defense spending in general. that is, it will apply not only to drones, but also to the purchase of military equipment , but also to other items of defense spending. in particular, on general expenses for the wages of military personnel, and by the end of march, the government will register this draft law in the parliament, and i think that the parliament will not have time to consider it in march, but at the nearest plenary session in april, the verkhovna rada will consider this draft law by ms. roksolana, in addition to the production of drones

, what else do you see the need for increased spending on ? programs that are subordinated to the ministry of defense and other law enforcement agencies so that, not this year, in our country, in all months, the relevant taxes in the necessary amounts for this year as of march 23rd, how realistic is it to predict how exactly the budget plan will be implemented this year and how often we will have to revise it, it is very difficult for us to predict how often we will have to revise the state budget because these changes are mainly related to how and where the military campaign well, for example, the ministry of the ministry of defense of the ministry of internal affairs declares that they are forming an

offensive guard, forming eight new brigades, we accordingly, as the verkhovna rada, we must immediately foresee the expenses for financing these brigades, and there can be many such examples , and there were many, so here we are working , not in advance, not with a proactive position, but at the request of the law enforcement agencies, and i believe that this is the right basis wartime and when our military leadership actually determines how and what happens in the field of defense, then defense funding must also be adjusted to the needs of the military, one brief clarification due to which we can now increase expenditures a-a and financing our defense, the defense industry is financed only from our state's own resources, because our international partners are not ready, unfortunately, to finance our defense expenditures. therefore, everything that the state earns from customs, from taxation, from privatization, even all of it is directed to

defense we have a certain margin of safety as to how much we can increase these expenses and we will definitely use it, while all our other expenses in the social sphere for the salaries of state employees for business assistance everything it will fall into the area of ​​the budget deficit, it will be financed from their loans and grant assistance from international partners, then does roksolana already know the budget indicators for february , what is the actual budget deficit and how it correlates with the planned one, we have operational information about the budget deficit of about 80 billion 89 billion uah we ended february with this indicator - it is a little more than 2 billion dollars, it is better than we planned at the beginning of the year, because you remember that we

posted a deficit of about 38 billion dollars before of the state budget is more than 3 billion dollars per month, it is in january and february that we perform with a better deficit indicator . that is, we need less help from the outside and less borrowing in order to cover this deficit, this is good because in fact the debt load that we will receive after the war and after the victory, it will be less if we close the budget with a reduction in the deficit well , finally, ms. roksolano, will the initiative that has been heard recently be implemented in 2023, it is the financial rammstein group international partners that will coordinate financial assistance to ukraine, what are its prospects, definitely yes. but in order for financial ramstein to work in full , in order for all our partners to provide us with assistance, we

need to start programs with the international monetary fund in order for a full-fledged program in which they provide us with credit financing and support for our state budget. i think that we will be able to start such a full-fledged program with the international monetary fund in april, and then financial ramstein will be able get it working. it's clear. thank you for joining our broadcast . roksolana podlasa, the head of the verkhovna rada's budget committee, was in touch with us. 36 food outlets operate in kharkiv. citizens receive free hot lunches in them . single elderly people with low incomes can receive such assistance first. and temporary premises of the person , the points are located in schools and are waiting for citizens from monday

to saturday, but you need to have your own dishes in one of these food points visited our colleague kateryna kosmarova will tell you more about everything further in kharkov, they continue to provide assistance to the citizens in all districts of the city, there are points for issuing hot meals almost every day in different districts of kharkiv , there are a total of 36 such points where about 32 thousand hot meals are prepared every day , you can get a hot lunch at such points from 11 until 2 p.m. in this school there are data that school employees work even in the conditions of martial law when the children are at a distance and even now we can see how hot lunches are distributed here and i can already smell it delicious fritters with condensed milk, also juicy apples, let's ask more about today's menu from ms. natalya, please tell us what dishes you are preparing for people today, milk soup with oat groats, fritters with condensed milk

, apples, fresh bread, and tea, i wanted a food delivery point in to this school since december 1 also here i am a point of unbreakability so immediately after receiving a hot lunch people can come and recharge their phones about the number of people every day and whether this number has changed if compare with the beginning of december, let's ask the school director in the first days of operation of the hot food point on the basis of our institution, it was visited by about 400 residents of the microdistrict , to date, their number has almost doubled , all thanks to the efforts of professional chefs and a diverse range of dishes that is updated daily in case of a long turning off the lights at such points have
