[000:00:00;00] so far, because i always know. well, we are appealing to international funds , so that they also help us with humanitarian demining, but so far, the situation is moving very slowly, because we, well, the whole of ukraine was not ready for such a large number of mined territories in our country there is not enough equipment, not enough people who will do it, but i think this situation will level out . well, i will ask myself a few more questions. i am interested in how certain things that are important for ukraine function there in the occupied territory of the kherson region, first of all, recently there was the information is literally weeks, three weeks ago, and kharkiv region calculated what environmental damage the enemy caused to kharkiv region, so it was about uah 200 billion, there was a terrible amount , in fact

kherson region, we understand . e places where and and and animals and birds and flowers everything in the world and in what condition if we talk about it all about askania-nova how destroyed and uh-uh what can be further developed when the territory will be released, and is it precisely the environmental damage that is calculated, and this is my calculation ? birds and fish die from this, and well, the whole system suffers, uh, also. due to the constant destruction of forests, this ecosystem, which was constantly

, well, developed here, is nakhilkovic. that's why livestock is only counted, or not. as far as i remember, before the new year, there was a situation with a ship for which a lot of fuel and lubricant materials leaked after burns, so also about the huge damage was caused to the ecology here in the kherson region. and about the fact that there is a need for the occupied in the occupied territories that we will release very soon, we just can't guess how many they are they only brought endemic species of birds and animals that lived there and live there . we will hope.

we know very well how she mined there, now this territory is occupied somewhere, the enemy somehow uses these places for his enrichment for the production of this salt, is it abandoned, nothing is happening there , please, i am sure that the enemy is only as narrow as his horizons, that they are tearing that what do they see? well, like phones, tvs , er, three-axis equipment, these people came here to get rich, they don’t plan to develop any business, extract some er, minerals there, is it cool, the same thing salt, that's why i didn't worry about it, so that maybe they will most likely take away the equipment that is there, uh, how of all

the enterprises, they always did it . in fact, the topic that putin is now under the charge of whom should be detained, who should be detained, was actually very welcome and expected . in the evening, i know that in order to actively participate in the collection of materials against putin and his fall, these are the commissioners for children's rights under the president of the russian federation , lviv bilov, and the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for the detention of president vladimir putin, and this well, first of all, to what extent was this decision expected and unexpected, and how much did the ukrainian side have to do in order to collect

enough materials so that putin could to accuse and wish for his arrest, i will remind you that he is accused of stealing children from ukraine, a huge number of children , he simply stole them with the help of his henchmen from our territory, please , regarding the expectation or unexpectedness of maria lviv and belova , there is absolutely no surprise, since our organization is the regional center for human rights. we sent a message about maria back on october 25, 2022 , because we noticed in her actions not only signs of a war crime and a crime against humanity, but also genocide, from this point of view, in principle, the fact that a warrant was issued for putin's arrest is absolutely logical and also expected, because it was president putin . appear in the highest positions in the ministry of culture as well as in the highest positions

in the russian orthodox church, that is, it was kindly thanked for the implementation of this genocidal policy against the ukrainian nation , but in fact this is the decision of the international it is criminal, it is fatal and it is extremely brave, despite the fact that we have the qualification of such actions as a war crime, so far i emphasize because the international criminal court can change the qualification and we expect that in the future it will be genocide, but pay attention to us between uh, international the armed conflict continues in our hot phase, and the international criminal court is gaining the courage to go out and issue the arrest of the inactive head of state, since the roman statute provides that his position is absolutely not it is of no importance to bring him to justice, in fact, putin has been turned into a political corpse, and for this person, a political corpse will be synonymous with being physical

, therefore, in 120 countries, 123 countries of the world, now volodymyr volodymyrovych will be the person who should be detained and handed over to bagaga, and even more so those states that are not members of the international criminal court, but almost the entire institution can also detain putin for tabilog and hand him over to the hague, this is a very bold step and a very necessary step, and we hope that he will help, first of all, to stop this crime, to stop its extraordinary scale, because we are talking about hundreds of thousands of children, it will help to identify children and help to return them to the motherland, because what the russian federation is currently doing is the same as what the nazis did during the second world war and to what extent it is the same thing that the soviet union did throughout its history and was not punished, and that is why the russian federation so easily repeats its actions, because

native children were stolen from siberia under them peoples for re-education and after the second world war, children from many other countries and finally from crimea were sent for re-education with grace for 8 years, and in the same way with the occupied donbas, russia kidnapped children , sent them to the territory. unfortunately, the results of such a policy, therefore, this decision of the international criminal court, i will repeat it once again, it is extremely certification and very necessary under the circumstances. by the way, i have not yet seen the reaction of the kremlin. but i imagine that for the colonel of the fsb, has he already become a general there? because i don't know putin, to be with a suspected accused is , of course, a blow to self-esteem, on the other hand , we have his self-esteem in the back. do you know what's interesting that 20- on monday, the leader of china is supposed to fly to moscow, and here it turns out that now those who will help putin in one way or another in this war may also be accomplices, but how

will it be perceived politically, you are coming to a person who is an international the accuser a person suspected of crimes, please here i want to add about the reaction, i have already seen it, and i saw it very interestingly even before the official statement of the international criminal court, because they bit the bullet like that, first the new york times published a certain position, and only then it appeared on the official on the website of the court, yes, maria lyubova, at first they cleaned everything about her on the official website on the channel , all the information of her interview, which we have already archived well and handed over to the international criminal court, began to disappear. that is, it will not help her and they just didn't do worse because it proves their guilt, according to her words. this is how the international community thanked russia for saving the children, but in principle this is a standard phrase for inclusion in the sanctions lists. and now for the decision of the international

criminal court to issue a warrant about the arrest, what will putin say or what will the propagandists say? well, so far the methods are not ready , that's why they are silent as soon as they appear , we will see immediately and about the fact that according to the constitution of the russian federation, this should not of no importance and that according to the decision of the constitutional court, everything that contradicts the national interests of the russian federation, all the decisions of international courts are of no importance. well, as usual, the russian federation energized the roman statute, not by the state party , as well. everything is in vain, but this is if we are talking from a legal point of view, if indeed china is not a party to the rome statute and is not a member state of the international criminal court, then in principle it has there is no obligation to extradite putin, detain him, hand him over, send him to hell, but this is only from a legal point of view, unfortunately, we now see the significant influence of world politics on legal processes, and therefore

if you communicate with a political and rogue if you communicate with a political corpse, then you so by chance, willy-nilly, you turn into one of them yourself, that's why china can pay a visit to the russian federation, it can talk about something with putin, but as soon as the process moves on, as soon as the matter is transferred first to the pre-trial chamber, then to the judicial chamber, then we will see how the international community then begins to say that they always knew and that putin was always a war criminal and that maria lvova bilova committed genocide from the beginning , that is, the rhetoric will change at the moment, so far they are not ready but this is only among the powerful states, only china remains, and then we will monitor its behavior, and for putin , other options, except that eritrea remains . well, it is possible that he will hide there, although na

sorry, i'm not very optimistic about his fate and it's even a little sad that this person may die before he receives a sentence, so you know what's interesting. it's the same. hmm, the criminal court in gaza , he now took aim at putin and lviv belova, on the other hand, there is, let's say, lukashenko, who putin's entourage, lavrov shoigu, can also be blamed for the sloppiness and there are all these mosquitoes that were in principle present when putin actually prepared the ground for easter, but they are not there yet . the question is how putin will be now co-exist with their environment because on the one hand they seemed to be together, but the matter is only against him and they are not touching them here yet. the question is that it is also such a pass for them , as if come on. maybe you will push it out somehow and then we have already decided all the other things that is, globally, all the dogs are now hanging specifically on putin, is this a plus or a minus, please, because you are for the whole of russia in a big way. this is just the first step. i

would like to emphasize here that the case and these arrest warrants concern only one specific episode is actually the kidnapping of ukrainians children and their deportation on the territory of the russian federation, but even in the previous statement of the international criminal court, it was also about non-rapid attacks on the objects of the civil infrastructure of ukraine , that is, it is quite true that very soon we will also see a statement on the issuance of an arrest warrant , for example, for surovikin general who was in charge there and this operation for the indiscriminate attacks on this population and on the civilian infrastructure of ukraine, obviously lavrov shoigu and even the same lukashenko, they will not avoid of legal responsibility, i emphasize this, but the powers of the international criminal court are also dangerous, so if they do not bear responsibility due to the lack of financial, time, human resources and so on in the international criminal court, then a special tribunal for aggression against of ukraine and these persons

will sit there as the main suspects , first then the accused and then the main criminals, so say that only putin was hanged there and that he is a goat , absolutely no, this is just the start of something it was necessary to start and you just imagine the international criminal court starts with the current president of the state, a permanent member of the un security council, which has nuclear weapons . this is unprecedented, this is phenomenal, and we can only imagine how the support for the special tribunal is currently growing, and how more states want to start to cooperate with the international criminal court and in the end how much trust will grow in any law and in the international criminal court as a whole thank you for your work and of course thank you for the courage of the judges of the international of the criminal court, kateryna roshevsky, a lawyer of the public association, the regional center for human rights, so putin will now be wherever he goes, he had a place to go, but in any case, he will now stink to the whole world, and he defends himself as a person who

was accused of mass abduction of children and he won't get anywhere from this, as they say, well, what else will we have today, there are such global near the map of hostilities, military results with uh, with serhii zgurets, well, now i suggest you listen to uh interview and you will see oleksandr murchevka he will talk to a business bootsman, a ukrainian novel, glasses, he was in his ukraine, in canada, well, all over canada in ukraine, and now he is a business ombudsman, about the difficult life of a business, about its prospects , this is very important to understand, because it is actually all our money and investments too, should we count on them in what volume let's watch

and listen i remind my mother with the comfrey of dr. tys and you get back to work we with the comfrey german ointment for pain in the joints and muscles of lviv veins painting brings back oh from the pain in joints and muscles, natural weight of painting and doctor tyss, ask in pharmacies, pharmacy, pharmacy, pharmacy, penny, and pharmacy, shar ointment with comfrey, 100 grams, with a 15% discount, mykola veresen , vitaly portnikov, and the main topics of the week: if god forbid really tactical nuclear weapons are used against ukraine it will definitely change the world history, problems, analysis and personalities, we are waiting for john gerbs, the former ambassador of the united states to ukraine, day thanks for the advance, you have questions, you will get answers, so the question is waiting, how is it worth

analyze sports for several september every friday at 21:30 on espresso i am oleksandr marchenko congratulations this program is a relevant interview why is it relevant because today in the issue we are talking about business business that works in war conditions business fearless business that needs support at the same time and the guest of the program is the well-known diplomat and business ombudsman roman vashchuk, who has held this position since january 1, 2022. i congratulate you, mr. roman. thank you very much. i congratulate you and the audience. it is possible to relax and find safe places to continue activities can be called heroic business but at the same time entrepreneurs have a number of problems in relations with the authorities not everything is so simple there is no simplified regulatory system that should be in place for the functioning of european

entrepreneurship in our country well, here it is one of the general problems for ukrainian business is the blocking of tax invoices, well , in fact, this system has turned into such a manual mechanism. well, in fact, it deprives business of working capital, what is the decision of your office, the business of the ombudsman, and what is the recommendation to the ukrainian authorities how to solve this problem well, last friday we presented our report, it is the fruit of several months of work by our team of inspectors, we are already monitoring this risk assessment system, the so-called jasenkor, from the very beginning we know how to turn this system inside out, and we came to the conclusion that when the system was initially , let's say, it automatically caught three to four percent of

the ukrainian business, because it is also important here how to count, because the tax office very often says, look, there are hundreds of millions of these invoices, of which we stopped 2-3 million, well, it is a little less than one percent, a little more than one percent, but you know that, there are almost no people about it, but when it was in the 19th year concerned three to four percent of ukrainian business, and already in the fourth quarter of 22nd year, 40 point four percent of ukrainian business experienced the problem of blocking one or more tax invoices in the value added tax system, then it is already threatens to stop, in particular, medium-sized and smaller enterprises that, well, large firms can have their own legal departments, and accounting departments can reflect for smaller firms - this is a big problem, and the problem also arises due to the fact that the phenomenon is a kind of iral,

in one word, they recognized the they stopped your invoice, maybe you were recognized as a risky firm , suddenly all your counterparties become potentially er risky and then it spreads like that from one so er, i would have more than half of the business feel some kind of tax stops just at the end of last year. to what extent did it stop? it is possible that the schemes that were felt by the tax system were felt by tax officials. isn’t it worth it that ukrainian medium-sized businesses got rid of working capital altogether? well, you know from the very beginning of the introduction of the system, i think that the assessment of our there are specialists that over the years about 2/3 of the schemes and schemers were removed from the crust , this is without a doubt a success, but already what

happened last year there was an attempt to throw the city so widely that it happened later of the automatic system so that individual firms would then have to be manually sorted out. this was already a big deal, and in the conversation we had with the ministry of finance and the state tax service , mr. hetmanets, the head of the tax committee of the verkhovna rada , said that, you know, we need to go back to the automated beginnings, let's tell this system to review the algorithms and really to make an assessment of whether it is worth the right to skin, that is, to find some smaller schemes, or whether it is worth stopping a good, honest business because of it, and this, unfortunately , last year coincided exactly with the peak the beginning and peak of the russian company against ukrainian energy means that the load was increased. and to unlock one invoice, the business told us, it took about 12

hours of work by them or an accountant or a lawyer or someone else. the second does not in any way contribute to the development of business already in january-february we see a decreasing trend, new decisions were made at the end of december and in february we were promised that we had submitted most of our recommendations 10 basic and about 20 more technical recommendations of the tax office, in particular, the memorial , which gives it a certain encouragement and guide, takes it to work with the idea that they during the next few months of improving the algorithm, the opportunity for entrepreneurs to see what indicators

in their sector, are they approaching some kind of red line er, the possibility to submit trial certain documents to see the mechanism works before er, let's say there will be a stop er blocking so all this i think er promised that will be implemented during next months so here i think the attention of you as economic journalists as well as our business associations, of which there are five who supported uh us uh we also had a lot of support from uh tax bloggers consequential, that's all. so we, i think that we are so together and we see that there is a good desire on the part of the authorities to correct mistakes so that this happens, then on nuts, in fact, from the business for several months reproached the business association that the blocking of invoices well, in fact, it left without

pennies, many enterprises. well, you need to do something, not just listen to reprimands, and here you need to approach it according to the hippocratic principle, so to speak, as the principle of do no harm, if the state does not have unlimited grant money to distribute business and it has no clear reasons , that is, do not harm and do not take away, there is no need for negotiable instruments of funds, roman and here is a topic that has been under the control of the office of the boatman's business for many years, this is the connection of the business to the power grids, i know that a lot of work has been done , eh, certain regulation between eh has already been simplified by the authorities, business, but still entrepreneurs complain that it is very expensive, and we know, but one of the examples of the turkish investor, the amount was announced crazy, well , tell me what has been done now, i think, from what we see, one of the problems is really that the price of labor and services in particular, high-tech in this field in ukraine has increased and the market price has become quite high, they are very different from the average european ones, so here

you need to think about whether you need a certain regime of benefits for important state investments in order to facilitate both time and money for such important projects as, for example, this bayraktar e-e , i think that the streamlining of relations and property and administrative relations in oblenergo and other operators of this market is possible, with the e-e stabilization of these companies, it will also become easier to solve problems here. but i think that here must there must be a certain mix of both market and , again, i want a lot of money for the state , but there are no sufficient mechanisms, i will give you an example from the relocation of a ukrainian company abroad, e.e., the ajacks s systems company is a well-known manufacturer of security systems revolution to poland outside their new location

in western ukraine . poland thought, thought , thought . the turkish government did not need a lot of funds to take a more regulatory role here, and here let's say that this is for new investors . agencies such as ukraine west, which has now slightly strengthened its expert side, could just er, this issue of energy supply for new enterprises should be taken into account, and interestingly, here we are talking about a company that is looking for er , a new safe place to work, but how to protect the business that works in ukraine during and tries to pay taxes

on time, well, bear with me the blocking of tax invoices, but uh, what are the appeals to the boatman's office now from entrepreneurs and how are you legally trying to help establish a relationship with the authorities, well, that's exactly what the role is, and we uh, since about last july, when the state body they started working again. they returned to many of their old habits. this is a tax issue, first of all, the second is pressure from the law enforcement officers, because, let's say, the concentration of economic issues in the new bureau of economic security did not happen. then there is a kind of competition of four - five or six different bodies of pre-trial e-e investigation , each of which wants to show that it is it that works valiantly in this field . and this also leads to the history of e-

e. electronic or other means must be returned, uh, we work before the courts and after the courts, that is, our role is to try it , so to speak, to resolve it amicably between the state and the enterprise until it reaches the court, and if the court has already issued a decision, the state should fulfill it as such because even here there is not the automaticity that one can hope for in a state governed by the rule of law. well, it is clear that you mentioned court decisions, judicial reform during the war must take place on the merits and victory must be met, in particular, with honest courts , in particular, business that now has complaints is possible you can tell specific examples and some kind of help from a business-budsman to a specific business, well, in general, what happens

there, you know, the situation is paradoxically not the same as i think most people imagine, let's say , in tax or customs issues, the courts mostly decide in favor of the business in 90-95% of cases this is good for the benefit of business . the state is not good. obviously, we encourage the state to adjust their administrative practice in accordance with the judicial practice. this is one thing, but there is no common understanding of such an imbalance. no. and i have, well, it seems that today a decision has already arrived on the lon list, so to speak, for the new higher qualification commission for judges, to which there are a lot of useful , worthy, useful rules

for the new higher qualification commission of judges, i mean useful for the case of judicial reform the higher levels of the judiciary in ukraine have already been reformed to a large extent, but the first-instance appeal has remained problematic, and it is precisely if this new composition of the vikkas will be able to bring worthy people to these lower levels of the judiciary within the next year. positions of the first instance and appeals, this then means that the first touch of the first business, whether ukrainian or foreign, to the system will be balanced and correct, it will not be necessary to wait for the third appeal in order to find justice somewhere in kyiv, it can be found on the spot. i think that this should be the common goal of everyone in this system, mr. roman . but it is clear that ukraine has great
