[000:00:00;00] he will have such an opportunity, we hope that everything will be fine with him volodymyr nazarenko we immediately after the news of the economy and already in p . at the front, how is the ukrainian economy holding up and not only about that, we will ask andrii yanitskyi about the economic news, he has already prepared andriy 's word for you good morning good morning, we will really talk about economic news, what will be interesting this week and sum up of the previous week with serhii fourchea as our traditional guest on mondays, andriy yanitskyi with economic news on the espresso tv channel, as usual at 8 o'clock live , we talk about mondays with our traditional guests serhii course, but first some

shorter economic news to free the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant by peaceful diplomatic means it is impossible now. this was stated by the minister of energy herman galushchenko . according to him, the situation has reached an impasse . the ukrainian position is that any negotiations regarding the station must based on its demilitarization, russia should also remove workers from the facility to the russian federation, and finally, ukrainian personnel should work at the nuclear facility calmly and without pressure. last year, the gambling business paid more than uah 2 billion 700 million to the state budget, the funds came in the form of license and tax payments about this was reported by the first deputy chairman of the tax committee of the verkhovna rada, yaroslav zheleznyak, this is insufficiently noted by experts, for example, according to the data of the state tax service, most of

last year the gambling business in general avoided paying taxes with the help of the city coding scheme, that is, when the bank establishes for a merchant that it does not correspond to the true type of activity of the enterprise, and such a code allows payments to be made without paying the corresponding deductions to the budget. work on a simplified taxation system, so there is hope that the indicated incomes will grow. well, before talking to our guests, i would like to remind you that on the youtube channel on the youtube channel espresso a new business program appeared with andriy yanitsky in the middle of the evening, it comes out. there we talk with representatives of small business, veteran business, resettled business, already the first issue for the past week on the youtube channel and this- this wednesday

there will also be a program, and now serhiy furso invest - banker, representative of dragoncapital company , mr. serhiy, congratulations, let's continue our conversation from last week, we talked about the fact that strange lawsuits have begun against people who, in the press, it is customary to call them reformers who achieved success in in their positions, as they say, first of all, about mr. kobolev, the former head of naftogaz of ukraine, and about andriy pivovarskyi, the former minister of infrastructure of ukraine, by the way, in last today, as far as i know, there will be another court hearing, what is happening in these cases, how has the situation developed in a week, well, there was no bavarian development . today, it is here that the most difficult thing is without a meaningful one, that is, according to kovel, there is at least some public demand, or

the populists have been creating an image for him for a very long time of a bad person because of the bonus and the detectives could not give in to this pressure, ah, respectfully, there is nothing there at all. well, that is, the person is accused because he fulfilled the law, and this is a very, very plus. let's see what will happen in court today. we can still hope that the administrator is an anti-corruption court . will correct this mistake and send this suspicion to where it belongs, and the male was promoted, suddenly the appeal ordered that he has, well, that is, the first station of the anti-corruption court said that there is no meaningful suspicion and nothing is needed to do with the population, and for the reasons they thought up, they went to appeal, the prosecutor’s office there is in the best examples of the soviet, soviet, prosecutorial style, and there the court decided that kovelis should pay a bail of 220 million hryvnias, and paradoxically, at the same time , kobolev’s accounts were blocked, that is, probably

kobolev has such an amount, because somewhere he still made good money in recent years, but he cannot pay because it is actually blocked and now even igor mazepa, who is collecting, is organizing a fundraising screen in order to raise funds for the pledge of the male, you actually answered my next question, because it was a mystery to me why people collect for the pledge of koblevo how much well, how do we say that he received a bonus of 10 million dollars from this bonus , at least he could pay that pledge it turns out that he has blocked accounts well, not only mr. mazepa and igor mazepa, but if i'm not mistaken, he's not the head of the concord capital company, that is, this business , the environment collects money, there are also such non-parliamentary political forces, the democratic ax also collects money for -e p koboleva

well, they supported him systematically, and it must be said that in one of the interviews he himself said that he also supported this political force once and it can be considered that this is such gratitude from these young politicians for kobolev , let's see if people collect such an amount 229 i think there are not even 220 million, that is, the amount is not small, not small at all, but what are we seeing now on the facebook feed, where many expert economists are writing well , well, court cases are dragging on there, but now they do not understand whether the reformers will want to at all to join the government, that is, those people who have the courage to change something in the system, fight with gazprom in the courts or somehow improve the operation of ports, and now they will think twice about becoming officials, if after that

they can come after you in a few years, yes security forces, well, this is actually the biggest problem, because on the one hand, such actions discredit the anti-corruption infrastructure, and this is also very important, because in this way, the infrastructure can be successful only when it has the support of the society of the active part of society, why because it is naturally opposes the government if it starts to be pro-government. that's actually where anti-corruption ends, that's why the discrediting of the anti-corruption infrastructure is extremely important. all the more so because it is being discredited, including in the eyes of a collective event that worked very hard to build it, and therefore, on the one hand, there is a discrediting of the anti-corruption infrastructure infrastructure, and on the other hand, there is this powerful signal to potential managers that if you come to power, if you come to power , you will steal

you call yourself a reformer, but you need to sit without question. but the signal is different, that if you come, you will not steal. but everything will get to you for premeditated reasons without the reason of the exp. authorities, because for them there are two opponents - the anti-corruption infrastructure that runs after them and the reformers who can occupy their positions and who can change it, and now it is clearly observed that there these people will benefit significantly from the latest actions of the anti-corruption infrastructure. i still remember that when mr. tovarsky was a minister, he tried to resign, even because of a low salary , because he was in power for a year. it seems that he was asked to stay longer, and there was such a tragicomic moment in my opinion when his wife came to

mr. yatsenyuk, the then prime minister , in order to talk to him so that he would let the brewery go home, because the family still wanted to see the husband at home, and somehow yatsenyuk said in the interview that he persuaded his wife wait a few more months ago, the work of andrii povarskyi is very important and we can see that at that time it was very important. and now he is being dragged along by some kind of complete injustice, and i agree with you about another high-profile topic. last week, i think that many ukrainians who keep their savings in dollars, they felt a little better because they saw how the dollar exchange rate relative to the hryvnia is falling, what is happening, is the dollar uh weaker or is our hryvnia becoming stronger than ever uh, now i just looked at what the exchange rate is

about 36.85 even on the interbank. that is, it is not a professional rate , let's say 36.6 where it was there and it is there and the interbank is focused on the official. when we talk about the cash market, there really was a certain strengthening of the hryvnia and it is now e- that course is somewhere around 39 39 is true when it comes to strengthening from 41st to 39th in two months , well, that is, we have to understand that we are talking about two or three percent eh, this is already a sign of a really stable macroeconomic situation when for us during the war there is events that the hryvnia strengthens by 2-3%. on this is not a movement there 20% in one side 30 in the other - this is 2-3%. why did this happen, well, first of all, why is it strengthened from the 41st or 12 o'clock 41 was affected by seasonal factors around

the new year, and our hryvnia season is constantly weaker due to the fact that the budget spends a lot of money, this part of this money was traditional again on avalderin and led to a certain weakening, now this also happened, and when you have a withdrawal, then there is a return to normality, plus there are several other factors that determine the recent movement from 40 to 39, there was sometimes a drift to 38.5, but it has already stabilized somewhere around 39. this is the first regulatory regulation of the national bank, which established more reserve requirements for banks. this forced banks to buy government bonds. this forced banks to buy government bonds, but some banks needed more hryvnias in them. there were not enough hryvnias and they may have started selling dollars, this is one of the reasons, the second reason is the ukrainian boldness sorry for

the russian word uh, ukrainian traditional opportunity to find schemes where they don't even exist, to find uh, a few months ago the national bank offered the possibility that you come with hryvnias to the children's bank account, they exchange them for a dollar account at the official rate and you have a deposit for three months. this was supposed to reduce the pressure on the cash market so that people do not run there and look for an opportunity to sell at any price price their game and it worked, but now creative ukrainians supplemented this scheme with one more step . as a result, they benefit from this difference, and for obvious reasons, cash began to push the hryvnia exchange rate to the official exchange rate of ukraine. so now we seem

to have informed our viewers of some kind of enrichment scheme, i hope it is legal and completely legal. but this may have pushed someone to become extreme. accept, go to the banks. please wait with us for another 10 minutes. exactly, we will talk about the economy. it is interesting, in my opinion, that the news is a bit shocking that the national bank of ukraine fined ukrgasbank, which is a state-owned i will remind the bank about the scheme with the gambling business . well, before putting you on the air, we told you that last year the gambling business paid uah 2 billion 700 million to the budget, and experts say that it would have paid more. but there were various schemes with evasion payment of taxes, for example, when bonuses were paid to players e-e not according to the code by which they were supposed to be paid and accordingly the tax officials did not see that it was connected with the gaming business

e-e and now the state bank turned out to be involved in these schemes, it is the only such bank or uh the problem is that the national bank of ukraine is simply not talking about commercial banks. they did something. they didn't believe that one bank on the market only worked in such schemes. your words about the scheme. i read about it last week in zheleznyak. well, there are really very beautiful schemes there, people have tried their best. ukrgasbank also had a creative approach, that is, it was done to him, in fact, if there is any scheme, then ukrgasbank will definitely be in it . not the only one among all the banks there, it seems that when they described this scheme, they said that there are nine banks that are involved in this joke. ukrgasbank is simply the only state-owned one, and that's why it probably got the

first one. after all, they didn’t play, well, i hope that deductions from the budget from the gambling business will increase against this background, uh , another piece of news: a german company is considering the possibility of building a tank factory in ukraine, and it seems that they are ready to start construction right now under the time of hostilities, how far is it possible and realistic? is it just talk so far? everyone will wait for the end of the war, and then they will be ready to build. look, i have not seen them say that they are ready to build it during the war. this is nonsense and they have already found their favorite dwarf alcoholic . medvedev woke up and said that they will throw rockets in that direction , this plant will not be built, the germans understand it perfectly even without medvedev's telegram posts. therefore, while the war is going on, of course, no one will build any plants, but if there is

a decision was made there at the political level that this plant received the preparatory work will begin, it is clear that before you start construction you have a lot of administrative bureaucratic work at least to take the traditional ukrainian problems with connecting to the power grid and so on , that's why it was now if it is accepted again , the decision on the construction of this plant, i am not yet sure that it will be taken, but if it is taken, the preparatory work has begun , and of course the germans will start investing already after the end of the war, how long does it take to build a factory of this level? did you observe it in practice ? is it possible that someone invested through your company, of course, not in a tank factory, but in some other company - this is a question of a year , two to five years, you know. i will never be your tank factories because well, i am also inspired by the fact that not only the germans are talking about the construction of tanks and questionnaires on the territory of ukraine, do you

remember that turkey has already announced and even the renderings of this construction plant combat drones of the bayraktars and the baikar factory offered to build them as well. as you mentioned, there was some kind of trouble. and what they demanded , i don’t know how legal it was, was a lot of money, several million dollars from these manufacturers in order to connect i don't know how it all ended there, did they not give up on their idea, what latest news have you heard, or are they still planning to build that plant ? a traditional problem, and this is corruption, not even at the state level, at the commercial level. and when the world bank did its doing business rating, the biggest problems

of ukraine have traditionally been for decades. required bribes at the commercial level, that is, we have an electric grid , an electric grid, connecting this oblenergo. yes , there are mostly private owners, but they also demand bribes for connecting a-a let's just finish with energy, the last question regarding the fact that there is a shortage of power in ukraine, emergency history, they do not turn off the electricity, and i was also positively impressed by this, that it turns out that even winter is not over yet, that is, 20 days this february falls like this and we have already overcome the energy crisis , or am i too optimistic, maybe it's like a crisis that hasn't been overcome yet , maybe there may still be problems in the power grid that there is very little chance

of problems that the sunny day is helping us today is getting longer and longer accordingly less electricity is needed, and this leads to the fact that the situation is improving, in fact, even before the war, without the attacks of the russians on our infrastructure, we will need to export electricity for a certain period of winter, and then there were big scandals because we exported there from belarus, that is, from russia, that is why our winter is traditionally scarce period, and now he was much more imported well, that is, yes, well, much stronger but again, our defenses are better than russian missile power is becoming more modest and a plus this is what changed in february, it is more world day and the sun came out and we started our solar generation, which adds additional power to the network. there are a lot of theories at once

, again the ukrainians created that the light should not be turned off and so on. then again, there is absolutely no betrayal here, that after a while, again, the longer the world day becomes, this is very important, after a while, we will already be able to export electricity , we are waiting for foreign exchange earnings forever needed in the country for that by the way, to support the hryvnia too serhiy fursa from investment banker from the company dragon capital will be on our air p serhiu thank you and i'm andriy yanitskyi, the host of the economic news program on espresso see you tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. live on the air together we will win no matter what ukrainians think about, no matter what they talk about, war always comes first, war is our victory, seven days a week from monday , monday, seven different spheres of human activity

, i don’t know where to set favorites. well, we asked how he watches espresso, our marathon, and he said that he watches it on tv. there is no easy function yet, everything is somehow moving forward, accordingly, everything can change, but those who watch youtube broadcasts, your support is important to us because russia, the russians, the kremlinbots, uh, all their troops are not the ones on the battlefield, the ones on the information battlefield, they are also directed to knock us out of the information space so that our voice is not heard so that what we say is not heard so that the truth does not spread and in every way they send strikes to our youtube

channel, after which we are blocked accordingly each of your likes, each of you, your comment, your favorite, it helps espresso to stay afloat and fend off these attacks by the russians , meanwhile, in the belohorod region , it seems that the rockets that flew there, i don't know where the rocket flew from, belohorod region, where the rockets are flying from, the belohorod region of russia federations and their governor of the belgorod region of the russian federation , vyacheslav glatkovu, explained that in the city of novy oskol, anti-aircraft defense shot down three rockets . this is the situation, the consequences are being clarified. it seems that there are some injuries . that's how it is in russia .

with its unnecessary war. well, of course, the main topic to which more attention is focused is the situation of bakhmuti and other american studies of the war. it is assumed that the ukrainian forces are carrying out a presumably tactical withdrawal of troops, in particular, but it is too early to say yet about a complete withdrawal from the city in particular, on the eastern position on the bank of the bakhmutka river, ukrainian troops may be leaving their positions in order to gain a foothold on the other side . this is the situation, and the institute of war research is convinced that the ukrainian defense in bakhmutka remains strategically justified , because this quote continues to absorb russian life strength and equipment, while the ukrainian troops do not suffer excessive losses. well, let me remind you that the secretary of the national security and defense council danilov said that according to his calculations, the ratio

of losses of ukrainians and muscovites is in bahmut make up one to seven, that is, seven muscovites for one ukrainian hero, this is normal. this is the story, this is what our danilov said, at least here. well, we are waiting for what the guys who are there right now will tell us. communication p volodymyr good morning to you good morning studio good morning in the television audience tell us where you are now actually the fourth brigade of the national guard of the frontier is also now on the outskirts of in the bakhmut direction, the enemy has intensified its defense over the past few days. in the past few days, the enemy has stepped up the frenzied shelling, shelling from well and hail artillery of various calibers, but this is again more chaotic shelling and, in principle, the enemy

is concentrating such strikes on various points in the bakhmut direction , in general, the enemy is trying to prepare and well, in principle, shelling the city well, what month is it the 80th or the ninth or there , well, actually, no one can calculate exactly how long the defense of bahmut lasts, because basically every day here is like a year like an eternity every hour is like a day because, well, again, the enemy is pressing, now i am trying to storm along the entire demarcation line , the northern outskirts, the southern outskirts are especially dangerous, and i would also like to point out where the enemy is suffering huge losses and the defense forces are also trying to counterattack and restore positions to storm and inflict again very strong noticeable losses word mr.

volodymyr evgeny dyky who himself is a veteran of the ato and one of the commanders of aidar, he assumed this in his words, he also communicates with fighters directly in bakhmut and say that the situation is a little bit already, he said not yet ilovaisk, but already plus or minus debaltseve , how much does this coincide with your assessment of the situation and what should be done in such a case , i had to be one of the last to leave debaltseve's entourage, i then he fought and served in the 25th battalion of kyiv rus, i remember all the situations there well. although it was there, it was 8 years ago, even more than that, but it is difficult for me to say that it is similar to the situation in debaltsevo, because according to my information, eh

it is very difficult, but still there is a connection, moreover, er, the key route, well, as of yesterday, according to my information, ah, the same well, that is, the key kostyantynivka-bakhmut route is also er, the orcs were not on it, they did not cut it, yes, there really is very let's say this is a problematic situation or the vorks are very close, but still it is not cut off anymore, i would not like to specify the details of what is happening there and everything else, but i know that and ivanivskoe and this is the direction of time direction of the ravine in spite of the fact that the enemy is constantly trying to storm with efforts already which week, almost a month, even more, our comrades from the armed forces of ukraine from the national guard, including, well, from many, many units, with heroic efforts , managed to hold back the enemy, and on the contrary , at some points, in some places, they managed and manage to repel the very, very tense

dynamic situation again i say, but in general, the last few days have been in a frenzy of efforts over efforts, uh, the situation there is holding in a certain way. let’s say yes, i can’t say that it is stabilized, because again , the battles are very dynamic, but the line is holding. do you see the prospects that bakhmut will be held and uh well, i don't know until the end of the war the russians won't go there now the russians in a certain uh panic are starting to use ipso to disperse the panic they are trying to influence some ukrainian defense forces that they
