[000:00:00;00] and move in the opposite direction, the sun, russia is a big, gigantic shadow that ukraine casts in history, because it is time for us to deal with that shadow and think about our future, move towards it, if we want this future to be european, then we need more freedom that andriy started about the fact that our freedom rating is still quite weak compared to european countries, even with poland itself, which is currently helping us a lot. we are between ivory coast and niger. now , according to the freedom rating, we have fallen by more than 10 points, this is unacceptable, something must be done about it, in particular, it is also about economic news. well, more so, the economic rating of svobodyno will tell more about it . now it's andriy's turn . we congratulate you. congratulations. today will be an interesting topic. we will talk about how to replenish the ukrainian budget, in particular, deputies.

offer a tax on sweets, we will talk about it with our guests, but a little later andriy yanitskyi with economic news on the espresso tv channel, as usual on weekdays, live from eight in the morning until 8:20 a.m. today to talk about how to replenish the ukrainian budget, in particular, the deputies propose to introduce a tax on sweets, but about this later with our guest, first with a short piece of news. joint purchases that will provide an additional 2 billion cubic meters of gas joint gas purchases - this is a new tool of the european union that was created to

limit jumps in energy prices due to termination of supply from russia zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is connected to the power system of ukraine again, ukrenergo was informed that the day before yesterday night, as a result of russian missile attacks, the only power line was disconnected - this happens periodically. after the shelling , 18 diesel generators were turned on to power the station's own needs. the international atomic energy agency also responded to the situation this is the sixth time zaporizhia npp has had to operate in emergency mode . let me remind you that this is the largest nuclear power plant power plant in europe and now it is running on emergency diesel generators i am continuing my urgent consultations to protect this nuclear power plant in zaporizhzhia and 37 countries have called on russia to return full control of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to ukraine, this

is stated in the statement of the european union on nuclear safety, security and guarantees in ukraine has already experienced many incidents that almost led to a nuclear disaster. a nuclear accident was avoided thanks to the resilience and dedication of the ukrainian operational staff are emphasized in the message , i would like to remind you that the day before, due to a massive attack , the zaporizhzhia npp was completely out of control, for now the facility's power supply has been restored, as we reported. we would also like to call on our viewers. in the economics program with andriy minsky , we look at the current economic news and , uh, discuss them with the guests, then in the business program, we talk with entrepreneurs. i invite

in this program of representatives of small and medium-sized businesses, socially responsible businesses, businesses that were created by immigrants or veterans in order to make them more famous. i think that we should know about such entrepreneurs. there have already been two editions of such a program. the first edition is on youtube. with the owner of a ukrainian store of branded clothes and shoes in kyiv, and the second with the owner of a book publishing house, where we talked about why books are so expensive, how to create your own publishing house, and in both cases our guests said what for literally a few thousand dollars are enough to start the actual business, which in principle is not a fantastic amount. so, let's honor our entrepreneurs. watch the business program with andrii, its thread on the youtube channel of the espresso tv channel.

greetings. so, the last time you and i talked, we took up such a topic as the gambling business and you said that you found that the gambling business paid not enough taxes last year, evaded them, we discussed which there have been evasion schemes since that time. two weeks have passed. what has changed during this time. well, she is probably one of the key tribes there, which one is there, you know which one those who follow the financial markets can see. licenses of ibox bank, in addition, we know about a number of fines and sanctions for non-compliance with the requirements of financial monitoring, and this is actually something that is directly related to the general business , because i think i will go a little deeper into this topic

. yes, there are requirements of financial monitoring that well so centrally established by such a non-governmental organization called jack force, which gives recommendations to banks and financial systems around the world on what measures they should take in order to prevent money laundering of funds obtained through criminal means, a plan of terrorism and, well, even the distribution of mass destruction, well, this the organization gained significant weight there, in fact , if i am not mistaken, after the 2001 terrorist attacks in the usa, when the americans took it seriously. well, of course, these are her recommendations, but they are followed by the whole the civilized world, so that it is not excluded from this civilized world, it applied in time so that there countries and financial institutions remain participants in the payment system and the national bank itself , which regulator plus there is financial monitoring, they

set specific requirements for how banks should monitor transactions that may be suspicious and how they should report them to the regulator e in order to be able to detect in a timely manner such questionable things and actually the functioning of the law of the gambling business e-e and plus evasion taxes with a legitimate licensed gambling business, it is impossible without the banks hiding such transactions without the fact that they rudely and systematically violate the proper pronunciation of the monitoring well, god forbid the bank - this is the first example of such a... well, just recently i was shopping in the register of court decisions and saw what else there is a year ago, the national bank tried to bring to administrative responsibility the officials in the ibox precisely because they tried to hide already during the inspection of the exit of the national bank officials

tried to hide the transactions of the leogaming financial company, which is also uh, there is an assumption that it was involved in this whole process there for an amount of the order of sms and half a billion hryvnias, that is, that is what the shareholders of the ibox team called it, connected with this company leogaming uh, most likely but they really, really liked to sue journalists for this, they even extorted money from some, well, now there is more and more evidence that such information appeared not in vain. well, of course , journalists there could not always prove it like that ibox the bank is clearly withdrawn from the market. the national bank of ukraine actually also joined our fight with you to ensure that the gambling business pays money to the budget in accordance with the law. we do not demand anything extraordinary from them, just follow the law, and the state-owned ukrgasbank was also fined on suspicion of

doing so . that he also contributed to this e-e transfer , let's say it was not properly executed, but i know that there were more banks involved , about nine banks. should we wait for new e-e any messages from the national bank about new fines or about the withdrawal of new financial institutions from the market , yes, actually, from the information bodies , 6 system banks took part in this story. episodically made such payments in relation to large systems of constituent banks such as ukrgasbank, it is clear that they have a large micro-operating business and retail business, therefore, well, they will rather use such influence measures as a fine, and

in addition, we see that ukrgasbank too already there he himself confirmed in his release that he was mistaken, they will take measures against smaller banks, for which probably one of the main goals was in combat schemes. especially during the war. well, because for them , financial stability is a priority, so i think that there will still be measures, there will also be inspections regarding their own high-profile people who have been deprived of their licenses. well, we'll see what else needs to be changed on this market in order for it to exist in a civilized way like in europe there is also a gambling business and in the united states there is a gambling business uh and there are corresponding rules , we are just now adjusting these rules so that

it all looks hmm let's say according to the west as a sample, yes, do we need to pass any new laws or are the existing laws already enough , in your opinion, well, look, in order for this market to be civilized, it is necessary for white licensed players to work comfortably on it, so that they... they paid taxes, er, followed the requirements of the regulator, it is necessary, on the one hand, that there should not be er, such illegal competition er, which er, could actually be on the side of the illegal gambling business, which has smaller expenses there, does not pay taxes at all and, accordingly, he takes clients from the white licensed business. therefore, first of all, actually, at this moment, this is the proper work of financial monitoring on the part of the banking system, and secondly, of course, law enforcement officers must deal with illegal gambling business

well, then there should be the same requirements for the white gambling business , first of all, what still needs to be done and unfortunately has not yet been done is the online monitoring system for the gambling business, that is, in fact, it is an analogue of the e-e pro only for the gambling business when every transaction in the establishment of funds to the account e-e there in the system if it is an online casino or each purchase of a token in e-e in a live casino each bet - it is all registered and stored well , the withdrawal of funds withdrawal of winnings is also the same and then e first e hard to avoid secondly, it is easy to check taxation. yes, you came, er, there, er, an investigative operative, er, hidden, made a bet, they saw that it was not reflected in the system, everything can be documented and punished er, and this is very important. what should have been - this is an online monitoring system

, it should have been implemented from the beginning of the opening of this market, and there are big questions why it has not been done yet, well, these are the main steps that should lead to the civilization of this market, but for what, what should be taken a separate law or it can be regulated at the level of the ministry, the decrees of the ministry of the fiscal service are written to andrii and it is necessary to actually finish its development and launch, that is, here the questions and expectations to the commission for the regulation of gambling games and to individual ministries that have to put their visas there to confirm and so on i.e. there are separate, er, there are such indications of understanding that this process is delayed and it is not a fact that it is delayed justifiably so well, we will wait for it to actively accelerate now, we will not only wait, we will monitor and talk about it on our broadcasts, but real business is not the only way

to replenish the budget, i.e., to make the gaming business pay taxes , the deputies have other ideas this week , a law was registered with the idea of ​​introducing a tax on sweets, that is, on the sugar content in e well, in the same zone, the driver, for example, or in other food products , we usually say. my wife says that chemical products of chemical production, yes, you can argue here. what to me it seems that the ukrainians well, they are hardly ready to morally support her. although i may be wrong, yes, this is actually such a common practice

of the civilized world. not a function filled with a budget. yes, i made an estimate yesterday, based on the volume of the market . there are sweet drinks , sweet drinks are a billion liters. so on, if you take into account the one he offered for 4 hryvnias per liter of drink, then it will bring in about one and a half billion hryvnias per year, which is a percentage of the annual revenues of the own budget. that is, it is not done there purely in order to fill the budget. the first and main task - it is at least a little bit to raise the price of sweet drinks now, and there is a study, there is a world practice that if in developed countries the price of sweet drinks rises by 10%, then its consumption also

drops by approximately 10%. people uh more often they will choose water or some non-sweetened product simply because of the price, but someone will choose that way, and this is actually important because it reduces the consumption of these sweet drinks and it reduces in the long term the state's expenses for the treatment of chronic diseases of citizens, loss of productivity, and so on, that is, there are countries not many european countries have such additional taxes on harmful products , in the same britain, in general , sweet and salty products that have an unnatural amount of sugar or salt are taxed, well, take peanuts from there chips and ending with sweets of any kind, and actually here it is important that at least part of the income is directed to improving health, promoting a healthy lifestyle, relevant research well , actually, as far as i can tell, it will be written in the draft law, which is submitted

in parallel with that about the increase in the tax burden, about the establishment of such an excise tax, there is more, i will say these four hryvnias per liter - this is not enough, that is, i understand that they decided to start small and see how it will work then it is possible to raise it because it is 4 uah per liter - that is 2 uah there for a half-liter bottle of water, eh, well, that is not the story. but i think that producers of sweet water have already reacted very much to this, i see on the internet, eh, there is a publication such leaders of public opinion who appear sometimes against their will and are motivated by someone and e. there are already such attacks on this law, they are already saying that ah, they have found someone to take advantage of whom you will be called children , but you did not correctly say that incomes, i will kill you in general, children should not be given

sweet water up to a certain age, it is generally desirable not to do it categorically yes, i think that there is more detail about the medical side of this problem my colleagues can tell from the program about health and about money well, your answer is clear that a strong budget will not help , let's look where else they can to have money, i know that deputies are the voice of the people, when they first became deputies, they were taken to truskavets , do you remember there was such a school there in truskavets, and there were economic games? they were asked how they see how the budget could be filled. well then they proposed different ideas as part of such a joke or half-joke, in particular, to legalize marijuana, legalize prostitution, and i can't remember if it was about weapons, but at the same time, they positioned themselves as libertarians, so that everything can be allowed, and maybe they talked about that too how do you feel about these ideas and do they resonate in the verkhovna rada now that we have almost no money

for a minute and a half, unfortunately well, in general , legalization, decriminalization of such individual dan - this is actually good because of the possible filling of the budget and because of the reduction corruption budgets of those bodies or individual representatives of the bodies that crush it. i will speak very carefully about prostitution , or rather i will not speak at all, but for example, the production of erotic content , the production of pornography, which does not include minors, does not include scenes of violence, etc. you, this is exactly what has been needed for a long time, not only to decriminalize, but to legalize your own , because there are many women, couples of men producing such content in ukraine, they work remotely. this is not the same business as

which actually drags you into criminality. that is, you can work without intermediaries, without pimps, it’s a transparent business there, it’s digital in many developed countries, well, earn money , bring foreign exchange revenue into the country. in order to once again deal with, for example, the illegal gaming business , and you will be fined or imprisoned there for a couple of months, they will give you some kind of conditional term. that is, this is definitely savagery again, the decriminalization of light drugs such as marijuana is definitely necessary, legalization is definitely needed, well, again, this is a question of such a more thorough dialogue together with doctors and sociologists who can model this dynamic in our country in the conditions that exist now, i will not make a radical statement, although has his position on the most interesting thing, we have to finish , we will talk about the full budget next week with mr. yuriy gaidai

, senior economist of the center for economic strategy, yuriy thank you, and i'm andriy yanitsky, the host of the economic news program on the espresso tv channel, see you on monday at 8:00 a.m. live together, let's win together, will the ukrainian team of miners be able to continue the football fairy tale and reach the quarterfinals , watch the matches of shakhtar against penard and support us, the club exclusively on megogo , there are moments when the body quickly loses fluid, which can lead to dehydration when ordinary water is not enough, i save zreo the rest

, the war continues and not only for the territories, it is also a war for the minds of russia, millions of oil dollars is trying to turn ukrainians into little russians ukraine will become russia analysis and analysis of information about ukraine by russian propagandists specific facts and methods by which hostile propaganda turns people into obedient zombies old eldnr let's counter the information attacks of the russians in the project of the chronicle of the information war with olga leni tuesday thursday at 11 :40 and friday at 13:00 on the espresso tv channel well, just now friends , the marathon on espresso continues . thank you for being with us. thank you for watching us. we have very important information for you at the beginning

now please listen carefully because the espresso tv channel, together with the auto-english foundation and the charitable foundation of civilization europe , is conducting another fundraiser, we announce that we are now collecting a jeep for the third separate assault brigade, which is currently performing tasks where it is hellishly loud, not easy and difficult er , the guys work in the bakhmut direction , they also work with drones, and often we see a video that we like and enjoy, but our enemies don’t like and enjoy, er, it annoys them let's make it so that the guys work better, so that we have more of this video, so that our anger in our enemies is also more, and for this we need to collect more money, the total amount is uah 300,000 yesterday, for yesterday we collected uah 60,000

563 since this collection was announced, listen, guys, because just yesterday i named a much smaller amount. thank you for responding to our appeals. you saw yourself on the screens, eh , necessary necessary requisites, eh , we will be glad and grateful for every hryvnia. we really thank those who transferred yesterday money and that who will tell you the same today, thank you for this well, what are we going to do now oleksandr galushchyn, major of the 103rd territorial defense brigade of the armed forces of ukraine and a deputy of the lviv regional council, mr. oleksandr, if i am not mistaken, in the kharkiv oblast, oleksandr good morning, i greet you mr. oleksandr, we understand that in the east there is a lot of bad news every day, a lot of decent people , beautiful people, the infrastructure is being destroyed , nevertheless, you must have also been

hurt yesterday, and for example, find out what happened in the lviv region five people died. how did you perceive this news yesterday? unfortunately, during yesterday's rocket attack in one of the villages of the lviv region, the rocket destroyed several residential buildings and five completely peaceful civilians . these are typical crimes of the putin regime. shooting in the morning when people are sleeping in beds in the civilian territory, the news certainly does not inspire at all the entire missile attack 68 units of large missiles, i do not count the s300 with which they are constantly trying to destroy from zaporizhzhia and, accordingly, other nearby large cities to the line of contact, it has been 68 years of course, there are many of them with six daggers - you know, i am already in complete despair. i think that means they cannot break through our air defense system, and of course what happened at zalusivshchyna in the lviv region - this is certainly not

inspiring, but we had to do our part yesterday. things and good news, and yesterday was a successful day in the fight against their carriers of radio-electronic warfare, uh, the armed forces of ukraine celebrated six such carriers, that's a lot. believe me, they put dozens of drones on these devices, which are very often on the air of express, you collect the appropriate funds for them, that is, and unfortunately they adjust quite well, er, sometimes the fire of their artillery. that is, this is such a big plus, this is the biggest catch after a full-scale detachment, so there is also good news . of course, they wanted such good news. to tell about the new videos of the occupied territories , but this process is very troublesome, very difficult , requires planning and a significant amount of weapons and ammunition, so we are waiting. well, in general, this massive missile attack was after some

such a pause, and this, uh, leads us to the fact that the next massive missile attack will not be in two weeks, but in months, or vice versa , the russians, well, doesn’t it depend on what, on what, on the fact that they are currently preparing and riveting something there some new missiles or are they thinking of getting them from someone so quietly, look, in any case, they gave the hall, as i said, a dagger for this, their several months of production reserves. that is , it was a rather well-thought-out thing, in my opinion, which is partially even achieved goals, that is, another the fact is that in the yard of the checkpoint in march and all these night launches, these infrastructures obviously do not and cannot give the result that they could, say, give in the winter. the attack was thought out. citizens of the republic of moldova can sleep peacefully, that is, it is clear that their missiles

are not enough even to break through the width of what to port to the defense. obviously, railway nodes are nodes of not a large e-e logistics that works for the supply of western weapons and western ammunition, and this is what we need to save for the future of the e-missile stage, and of course there are crooked operators who open the program incorrectly or their age is such that it no longer allows them to be effective to manage and that is why we have such a situation . yesterday, we involved the kingdom of heaven. exhaustion with ukraine, nevertheless, a ukrainian sociologist says that the majority of ukrainians are convinced that

the war will end already this year, how about us, is there a gap between expectations and reality, in your opinion, a lot depends on the vector that will already be determined at the end of this summer , i believe in the fact that by the summer this shock fist that is now being formed will be able to solve a lot of issues with another gunter offensive and deo is not ready to say where it will be the question is, when will this happen, will the western world accept it for itself? well, one of the options is to support ukraine further or, in my opinion, try to keep aid at the same level . the end of the war, as some see it, will be closer to my or those horizons if this does not happen, and until now this has not

happened. by the way, that is, after each contract, new western weapons, new ammunition samples, new agreements, in themselves, tankova coalition, etc., and the new agreements, on the contrary, increased the potential of the armed forces of ukraine, if this does not happen, then i predict on the contrary that we will prepare and , most importantly, we will have the potential to prepare further operations to submit occupations, so i am very restrained , and as of today, i am treating the perspective that you describe and vika believes our citizens say that in 2023, the war is not over , the more it is over and we have won in russia , oleksiy danilov sees the end of the war in the fact that ukrainian tanks will pass through the center of moscow whose chinese leader was re-elected as president yesterday and for the third time, and this is the first such case after the judo attack on the so-called peace plan. as i understand it, it is foreseen that
