novosilky, says that shocks are why the birds settled near his house, there were mostly more neighbors than us, but then if there were more storks, they would already breed in the village, and here we also sometimes have a little garbage, the storks usually bring a little droppings and a little trouble, but in general, how storks in the village are welcome, but not everything is so clear-cut and over time the nests become heavier and fall on power lines and sometimes they are even cut off as a result of which the birds are electrocuted and people are left without electricity , so orest decided to call for the help of the power engineers against their visit, except that the owner's yard dog, there was a phase break in the winter, there were simply problems. then, with the light in the future, because it as far as i know, there is a little interference here, so the lvivoblenergo team immediately got to work

places in order to have time to give birth and raise new ones offspring is all the news for the moment, read more on our website espresso.tv a brief summary of the main things on our telegram channel espresso.tv news the most interesting information and videos on our youtube channel espresso.tv subscribe like us write comments always have a ukrainian perspective to the world my colleagues vasyl zima and antin berkovskyi will continue information broadcasting espresso r cinema television sports music education free people have a choice choose

reports from the hottest points of the freedom front openly and impartially draw conclusions yourself information day of the espresso tv channel in the midst of 14 minutes past four, for the next hour we will analyze the difficult situation in our country, the situation on the fronts , the situation in the economy and in politics live, the espresso studio is working, vasyl zima and antin borkovskyi, and let's start talking nina yuzhaninu, people's deputy of ukraine , chairman of the committee of the verkhovna rada of ukraine on finance, tax and customs policy , and mrs. inna, we congratulate you, i congratulate you right away the question that i would like you to comment on is already giving information that zelenskyi and the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi signed the first amendments to the budget this year, this is bill number eight three nine nine, it provides for an increase in expenditures by 5.5 billion hryvnia, there is a detailed description of what the money will be used for, where the money

will come from, and i would like you not to tell our viewers briefly, but the actual expenses, whether they are confirmed, supported by the fact that these expenses are there will be and what exactly they will be directed to, please vote well for example, contrary to the will of our political power, our faction in the verkhovna rada increased expenditures by 5.5 billion, and precisely in that package , which had already been voted on, there were no changes related to the sister of defense security at a time when a scandal was already brewing, when information about what 30,000 e.e. of additional payment to the military was canceled . therefore, the changes were shameful. in fact , it seems to me that they did the most political harm, including in the verkhovna rada, which

could refrain from adopting such changes if we talk about where the funds come from, then as always, we are trying to pay for some emergency articles, not only there, but for which there is an urgent lack of those that could be for a certain period of time, all the funding that was established and later was added to when if we take the 5.5 billion games now, it is obvious that we had to look for internal sources that can be saved with the next manager on those expenses that can definitely be reduced now, but this project seems to me to emphasize that the authorities and the deputies do not want to work on the reduction of expenditures that have been approved for the 23rd year, and when we talk now about another proposal , it is also of the same type, only on a larger scale, as regards the figures for the increase

in expenditures and the budget deficit, please be kind , this is the second aspect in particular, we are talking about an increase in expenses. well, in general, how well will it all work in a balanced way? we understand when the budget year began, when the budget process began. well, there were certain expectations, now we understand that everything moves in a semi-manual mode here, it is not even a matter of trust, but just to imagine how much money is coming in , how are they now being redistributed correctly or incorrectly in one or another direction because it just gives the impression of some kind of misunderstanding. vasyl and i tried to figure it out what is happening in our country in the process of budgeting, borrowing , etc., and so on. who balances the so-called debit-credit and is it now balanced ? first of all, let's remind ourselves that not so

long ago we adopted the state budget for 2023 with budget deficit of 48 billion dollars, and we said then that the state does not have enough money. at that time, there were no agreements on where we would take this money, then the following event occurred: the monitoring memorandum was hammered out by the imf, the authorities signed it, and we began to work to ensure that to establish again the signing of a new long-term program with the imf, which also opened up opportunities for us to receive support from other large state foreign institutions, supposedly. this would all be fine, the new memorandum of cooperation with the imf has not been signed. he is about to have appear and at that time, the government registered a draft law on amendments to the budget, while increasing state

budget expenditures by 537 billion, more than half a trillion , well, this means that the planning that took place three months ago did not take into account any real pictures of any real need. i understand. how can the government show itself from such a side , that is, they have not learned how to make planning even close to being more or less predictable and to make it correspond to real life, so of course when we are now talking about the government, we have made changes to of the budget in order to additionally direct uah 518 billion to the security and defense sector, and i am talking about the fact that the government introduced a budget in which it proposes to increase the state budget deficit by uah 419.3 billion at the expense of internal and external borrowing, in my opinion - this is a disaster. why?

that, firstly, domestic borrowing, it is true that the national bank has already made a statement that the increase in domestic borrowing by up to 271 billion will not mean that it will be the emission of hryvnias, that they will find other instruments and they are now in a tight cooperation together with the ministry of finance and the imf in order to avoid additional printing of money, i honestly don't believe it. the second question regarding foreign borrowing is also planned to increase by uah 180 billion. i think there is a certain risk here too, because there is still money that we have already planned, that is, signed agreements there are no clear agreements, although we must give due credit to our e-e partners, who all the time say that ukraine will not be left alone, they will help us

implement e-e assistance for cash gaps for our operating expenses and will not stop at this point. our responsibility seems to me now , well, it should be the most serious one. we have to do our homework every day. this is, first of all , to work on reducing expenses related to those articles that are not very relevant today. and work to provide more opportunities for businesses to work in ukraine, and of course to pay taxes, i want to ask you about a topic that is already hotly debated today and hotly debated in social networks moreover, they write about it. as former people's deputies and experts and representatives of the industry that allegedly decided for educators to cut back, well , keep the state subsidy, so educators will receive less, smaller payments

. is this true or not? have you heard of such an initiative because, well you always need to know the original source because there are many emotions, but this happens very often, especially during war and political confrontation, and also that behind emotions there is not always some kind of non-material basis , please, i was not only about this, i also wrote about this is because my assistant also teaches at the lyceum and she has already conveyed information from all the teachers who are familiar with the document that their pay will be reduced, it seems to me , to 25%. that is, teachers in general are educated, and i, in general, pay a lot of attention to this topic now, because in fact, uh, uh, uh , it’s a social sector, and you can even say that it would need our support and understanding the most right now, because the conditions of teaching and teaching are very difficult. on the contrary, now

teachers are pushing their countries more and more due to the meager payments, the responsibility of the special during the air raid is high, there is a large shortage of teachers , that is, they have a huge workload now and just moral exhaustion , so now in many schools of all levels there is a great need, you know, and uh, all the time running out of personnel uh at a high level , therefore, it seems to me that now the minister of education should pay attention and not continue to repair the roads now, but ensure the promised and budget-approved remuneration of teachers. that is, it is not yet a hundred percent guarantee that this payment will be reduced, these are documents initiated by the ministry of education. is it from uh, even higher , someone somewhere defined it and lowered it to the bottom

, please let us understand specifically . this document will be implemented, i need to believe that what is happening right now is exactly what is going on, the subvention is happening, we are going to local budgets and only then will i be able to give you a full answer ms. nino , we would like to ask you what is happening in your opinion at the tax office, how will it be now the situation with the blocking of tax invoices looks like. well, you can imagine that until now this problem remains too relevant for business, and although, for example, representatives of the authorities try to say that they are constantly working on improving the system of automatically stopping the registration of tax invoices , everything really looks like what we said two months ago. you also saw about this has already

been written by a lot of analysts, and uh , it ’s just a matter of business. the so-called blocking, in addition to that, now it also happens for such reasons, you know, not only in fact on legal grounds, but in the vast majority when businesses are required to pay some taxes in advance or to increase the tax burden and they do not do it, they immediately come to them with such a measure as blocking tax invoices it seems to me that i have not even heard of more indignation than now , that's why nothing has changed.

and the lack of responsibility of our state bodies, for example, there is a big problem now that the provision of public services is suspended for 10-30 days for the period of martial law. this turned out to be a great opportunity for corruption for officials and great problems for business does not want to give any additional rewards to negotiate with these officials, again the problem remains with the grain corridor as it never was and there is no transparent register of farmers and agricultural producers who can get on board vessels in order to send their products by the most profitable logistic route. in addition, i was surprised to read recently in the comments under the e-e post of one of the customs officers in the past , a well-known customs officer, that i know the owner of this brokerage company in odesa, what he says, listen to this

we didn’t get anywhere, we didn’t share, then we talked, then we created tsk . and now, as they took, they still take, can you imagine, from two to four percent of the seven contracts from such an agricultural producer for grain or from an oil producer, and supposedly these are the funds they say they will be directed to the armed forces, and why is this an illegal method, and why is this a corrupt method , they take the interest and who is sure where it goes? enough as a cork. another question. maybe you have information, because honey , they always talked about huge amounts of money circulating in the shadow of the economy of our country, but with the time of the war, i wonder if those sums that are circulating are calculated again still in the shadows, well, this is also the payment of certain works and services, but all this is done outside of the budget and outside of any declaration

, have these volumes decreased now, or is no one counting this now, please? it seems to me, and i proceed from this information that is available, that these volumes on the contrary, they have increased, but in the shadow circulation there are now large, large sums of cash, we know that the autumn has passed simply with the average farmers who do not have the opportunity to ship no through transport routes e. and they bought it exclusively from them for cash, this is a large amount of money, and this recent scandal that came to the surface regarding the organization of such a highly intelligent scheme that circulated huge sums of money through the organizers of gambling games, we imagine that there is more than 100 billion of money turned into

which in one way or another were converted either into cash in ukraine or into cards instead of salary, which they have to pay through large networks, or in general , they ended up somewhere outside of ukraine in the form of currency, you know, all the time in our country they are always inclined to mainly use legal methods of optimization like this, but this is no longer optimization, it is actually organized criminal groups that play around the district because it is called and e is taken out of the circulation of money in ukraine outside ukraine, and i do not exclude that there we are a russian trail and whatever you want maybe that's why you know. just if we said there that certain sectors of the economy are in the shadows in our country, then we have a different problem. it's an illegal method

of some kind of financial transactions in ukraine
