[000:00:00;00] and very actively and this is a reason for everyone else to think, meanwhile, the public of the temporarily occupied crimea reported about the explosion in sevastopol earlier crimea reali told about the shooting in the area of ​​the military school near the shooting bay, the occupation administration of the city does not comment on the information about the shootings and explosions, so far the system of ukraine is working with a reserve of power, a message from the ministry of energy in zhytomyr oblast, it is true that a power outage is possible due to repair work , fresh news from the ministry of energy , quoted on friday, march 24, the generation of electricity continues to fully meet the needs of consumers, the generation with a reserve has the necessary volumes of capacity to fully meet the needs of electricity consumers throughout the country, but

in zhytomyr region there are possible restrictions on the supply of electricity due to repairs to the network infrastructure. about five and a half thousand consumers in the donetsk region, so that's it last week it became known that the international monetary fund has reached an agreement with the ukrainian authorities regarding the new program, unlike the previous monitoring program, it will provide for the allocation or small funding for the next 48 months, but that is not all, we understand that any cooperation with the imf entails and other pleasant financial options for cooperation, let's talk like this oleg penzin, director of the economic discussion club, contact us p. oleg, glad to see and hear glory to ukraine, i am also sincerely glad to see and hear you, p. oleg well, well i would like to ask you about the new imf program , because sometimes i get the impression, so to speak, that

so much money is pouring into us that we don't even have time to master it. implementation to the attraction of their specific finances . well , everything may look a little worse, not much. well, then you have a word. that's all very clearly in accordance with the previously agreed schedules, moreover, together with our partners, the verkhovna rada agreed to increase the expenditure part of the state budget by half a trillion hryvnias by 500 billion, where practically all the money will go to increase the expenditure on defense, that is , at the moment, the expenditure part

of the state budget is already more than three million . that is, it is an extremely large help to ukraine in the introduction of the just war that it is waging, and when we talk about the international monetary fund, it is also actively participates in those processes, the actually agreed program for 15 e-e billion dollars for four years, this year we plan to receive from our partners 5-6 billion uhu , that is, well, this is quite a large amount of money , it is necessary to clearly understand that this program is conditionally divided into two parts that is, the first part will refer to the period that will actually cover the military actions, the war, yes, and the second

recovery, when we talk about the imf, there are always, but what conditions are the number that eh-eh clearly determines the list of those tasks that relate to ukraine and the actual eh macro-financial stability in the first period is not subject to additional requirements; moreover, we have already fulfilled the main objectives of the legislation on the transition to taxation , and to the taxation regime that was before the start of the active phase of hostilities, the entry into the second in the second part

, there will indeed be very unpopular things, probably related to bringing tariffs for housing and communal services to the morning level, but in the first period, which will cover the war period, there will be some such serious, very sensitive things connected with e-e, let's say tariffs, other things are not foreseen, so actually during the period of war, the most favorable mode of financing , moreover, the international monetary fund is now changing its internal documents, which allows it to finance the economy of a country that is in a period of war and a very large p there are problems with communication and i really want us to catch your every word, because i have questions not only about the terms, but also about percentages, are they included in this, there are

many questions, we will ask our editors reconnect oleg penzen, i would really like the connection to be of high quality. of course, this is independence from mr. oleg . well, maybe it will be possible . non grata , the ministry of foreign affairs of estonia was informed about this. on march 24, the ministry of foreign affairs of estonia summoned the charge d'affaires of the russian embassy and handed him a note of an employee with diplomatic status the embassy has been declared a non-desirable person in estonia , the activity of the person in question violates the vienna convention on diplomatic relations, so he must leave no later than march 29. the division of estonian society was noted in the ministry. well, meanwhile, spanish

prime minister pedro sanchos believes that tsvet should listen to china, of course it is said about russian aggression against ukraine, i quote with reference to reuters from reuters. china is a global player. therefore, it is obvious that we must listen to his voice to understand whether we can all put an end to this war together and whether ukraine can restore its territorial integrity, as he said. well, let us remind you that literally for in a few days, on march 31, the spanish prime minister will go on a visit to beijing, where he will meet with xizenpin . well, they expect that the meeting will be timed to the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the dip of relations and will be devoted to the war in ukraine. i think that before the trip, petro sanchos should meet with the prime minister of italy giorgi melody, which is quite

clear in modern times . if he voices similar things, it means that spain may be ready to become a certain mediator, and perhaps we will not see oleg penzin, the director of the economic discussion club, will get back to us by phone. we hope you listen, olezhe, and we continue to talk about the international monetary fund and ukraine, as well as certain agreements for 15 and 60 billion dollars for the highest 48 months , two stages: the war stage and the post-war stage , until the war stage is over, we have no catastrophic demands the imf does not make demands that are painful for ukrainians . will the interest rates under this program be provided for, please ? no, of course.

changes to its own regulatory documents that allow it to lend to the e-e country in its own, and it does not make any special nuances in relation to ukraine. that is , the percentages of compliance with the e-e actual loans that ukraine already received will be extremely low, and it must be understood that regardless of what ukraine receives this year from the international monetary fund, we continue to give the money that was taken from the imf earlier, that is, this year ukraine must give back 3.5 billion dollars earlier therefore, if we take loans on a large account, if we at least have 4.5 billion from any currency fund, it will still allow us to repay the previously taken loans and still have some additional funds for our own replenishment or currency reserves or funds that will actually be in the state budget, so that in this situation

, this loan is really extremely important to us . in addition, it is necessary to understand that the actual presence of the international monetary fund of ukraine is a certain sign of the trust of the world financial community in ukraine, which actually takes this loan. therefore the actual presence of the international monetary fund is still needed. from this point of view, so, uh, we will have hope that this program will really be accepted by the board of directors, because now it has previously been agreed at the staff level, it remains to go through the board of directors and then we will really see the first money from the international monetary fund on the accounts of the ministry of finance to the requirements of the international monetary fund for some of them. what among them is, so to speak, a request not to experiment with the taxation system

. what could it be about? look, ukraine has fulfilled these the demands that were not experiments on taxation, do you remember the first active phase of hostilities, ukraine introduced a two percent income tax, introduced a moratorium on inspections , removed any requirements regarding the introduction of cash registers for individual entrepreneurs, these are all the requirements i am talking about now in fact, the cancellation of these requirements was a prerequisite, the cancellation of these new innovations was a prerequisite for the extension of negotiations with the imf, so that ukraine has already adopted the corresponding changes in the legislation, to which they returned their own mechanism of taxation to the regime that was in place until february 24, 2022. so, from this point of view, the imf suggested that ukraine make those changes in order to replenish the state

budget at the expense of the economy of ukraine. budget, we will see that the revenue part of the budget from the activity of the ukrainian economy is 1.3 million hryvnias, and after the latest changes, the expenditure part is more than three million, and this is a huge difference, which is exactly the deficit that must be repaid due to borrowings, in particular, from the international monetary fund, therefore, the position of the imf is to maximize the state budget revenues at the expense of the work of the ukrainian economy. yes, this is an extremely important story . it is good that you mentioned it. yes, the issue of the stability of the hryvnia is very good that the international monetary fund agreed with us. provide this loan, yes, to stabilize our internal budget balance, yes, because we should support

our armed forces and the rest of the law enforcement agencies with the state budget so what was done was a truly astronomical sum of more than uah 500 billion. the international monetary fund appeared very timely and most likely the relevant transfers were agreed with our international partners, but so to speak, let's get down to earth, talking about our tv viewers, for example. what do you think? there will be a situation with the hryvnia exchange rate well , because the exchange rate seems to have stabilized , look, we are getting help from our partners in terms of currency, that is, at the moment, the total amount of currency supply is large enough, so we we can see with you how slowly the cash rate of the hryvnia is approaching the fixed rate that today is for non-cash transactions , that is, do you remember two or three months ago

, the official exchange rate was 36.6, and the cash rate was 40, today the cash rate is 38. 2 and there are trends towards the convergence of the cash-non-cash exchange rate, moreover, the national bank of ukraine replenished its foreign exchange reserves , remember we started the active phase of hostilities on e-e, the actual currency accounts of the national bank had 31 billion dollars in the summer. last year , the foreign exchange reserves of ukraine dropped to 21 billion currency reserves today are almost 29.5 billion, that is, the national bank restores foreign currency reserves at will and withdraws as much as possible the limited ones that are available today on the foreign exchange market . look, the national bank of ukraine has already allowed the repatriation of income received from post-war bonds by foreigners, so far only income is not the body remains in ukraine for the time being, the actual body of loans, but

the coupon interest on war bonds can already be withdrawn to foreign investors from ukraine. on the way to the maximum reduction and reduction of the number of currency restrictions that were introduced after february 24, 2022. well, mr. olezhe, we understand that the next stage of cooperation with the international monetary fund is a signal for other possibly interested financial institutions and organizations to invest in give ukraine a loan or help , what can we count on here? well, look , when we talk today about the amount that ukraine needs to restore the economy , the experts of the world bank talk about

figures of more than four hundred billion dollars direct losses calculated in ukraine amount to direct losses of the order of 150 billion dollars , undoubtedly the ukrainian budget will not have such money in order to restore all this, therefore we will be extremely interested in investors coming here, and investors without the presence of the international monetary fund in the country are very careful, moreover , investors will it is inevitable to wait for the end of the active phase of hostilities, that is why the international monetary fund actually did not divide its program into a part during the war and a part during reconstruction. and actually this part under time of recovery. we very much hope that during this period foreign investors will actively come here to restore ukraine , moreover, we hope that at that time ukraine will be much closer to the european union. it will be very interesting for an investor to enter a country of the european union for its

restoration in order to integrate it into the european community as soon as possible, so that in this situation we are undoubtedly extremely interested in those financial processes that now they brought an investor here. thank you mr. oleg oleg penzin, the director of the economic discussion club was working now on the live air of the espresso tv channel . well , it has become easier to thank god with money in the macroeconomic plan in our budget, so the program of the international monetary fund will be implemented with the help of peace negotiations, he said about this the chancellor of germany offshore , commenting on the results of the two-day summit of the european union on friday. no, this is fake news that is spread in the world by right-wing

communication networks, but without having nothing to do with reality, shultz replied to the question: were there any attempts on the part of the kremlin leader to sit down at the negotiating table, which are not known to the general public? despite this , according to him, shultz will continue to talk with putin, with whom he had telephone conversations , and at the same time, at the same time, he stated that it was completely clear to me that this the war may end , russia should withdraw its troops, this will become the basis of the possibility of establishing a just peace in ukraine and preventing russia from achieving its imperial goals, well, not quite coincides with what is proposed by the chinese side, because there they relied more on consolidating situations, it is very difficult to check the body here, but we will try to do so with the help of special training experts. meanwhile, the news from the former president of georgia, our citizen mykhailo saakashvili, he stated regarding his poisoning in prisons , russian agents are involved, politico writes about it

, saakashvili suggested that the russians began to operate in the georgian security services after his arrest and could have organized his poisoning i am quoting the institutions that i am in. the main decisions about treatment are made by the security services , not doctors, they appoint all the medical personnel-per-medical personnel , saakashvili said. similar to the slow and painful methods of the kremlin when it comes to the removal of political prisoners. well, it is possible to peacefully initiate one more in the future. a visit to the prc will be offered by the peace club with china to mediate in ending the war of the russian federation against ukraine. at least this is reported by fine show time. it is noted that the president of brazil seeks to restore the diplomatic influence of his

country after the relative isolation of the previous golosunar government, but resists the support of western countries, so luna silva will offer the club we we spread to mediate in ending the war of the russian federation against ukraine during our trip to beijing already this week on the air of the espresso tv channel the documentary project is strong as the earth its authors network for the protection of national interests and nts, the film was created with the assistance of the international revival fund, the name of the project contains words from the diary of a woman who survived the occupation in kyiv region in a village victory we ukrainians we will endure everything we will endure we are strong as the earth

look together mother don't cry you gave birth to me for freedom and at a price i lived with my own blood as much as i could, eat, drink, walk well, and no one thought that it was necessary to endure such a thing, and we do not yet know

how much i will have to suffer - carefully go through oh come on oh well done , give me a baby, give me tyomych how nice he eats well the cow eats ana, give me a pen, you see, i am the head of a farm

on the field, which is located in the village of lukashivka, chernihiv district, arbitrary, small, 1,500 and a half hectares of land under cultivation, 316 heads of cattle, the economy developed strongly, a lot was built before the aggression of russia, and a grain drying complex was built, the first report about the beginning of the war is february 24 - it's winter, it's the middle of the night, my son called me and my wife and i blew up, there was such a news that the war had started, we're starting

far from the borders, we are about 50 km from the belarusian border and 80 km from the russian border, and shelling of chernihiv began in the evening, hostilities began, and i received a call from the district state administration, asking to provide a truck to transport ammunition to the line where our armed forces were preparing to meet the enemy. now we are in the workshop of our company, we helped the military to fix military equipment, units, units and whatever was needed, but even when

military operations were being conducted, we did not stop doing our work, we took care of the animals, milked them, fed them, we began to distribute the milk produced to the surrounding population, the table, we also handed over a large amount of potatoes to orphanages, homes for the elderly, hospitals , yes sticks now go somewhere with a stick, white-footed lady, mistress oh, you're my smart woman, you're my invisible storm, he, oh , i'm going to answer the bell, my old leg caught fire, kuzya

, dear, i couldn't believe that this is myrnyi the second to sing the chorus of killing each other, what have we done to them, what are they doing? well, how did they start? chernygov is already being bombed like this. at that time, i already believed that i had been living in this village for more than 30 years. when the russian troops entered lukashivka, i was there was a very strong shelling in the cellar, there was a terrible shelling, and the fields were flying straight down the passage, very scary . how long did i survive, and then already after dinner, the house was

already full of smoke and on fire from that side? it's just as numb as it is i also hit the windows, but they don't hit the plastic ones, and i've already beaten many, many. well, everything was already covered with black smoke. i didn't save them, two of them burned in the house. i was near the military all the time, they wouldn't have reported that grigory mykhailovych wait, because these creatures are already on the territory of lukashivka, we will not be able to hold back the village. somewhere around 8-9 in the morning on march 9, these creatures entered our settlement . my wife and i just had time to jump into our car and leave on the only road that remained. this is

the road of life, a dirt road. went through lug if i hadn't left, i wouldn't have talked to you, they wouldn't have left me alive. people left everything they had bought for living with their calluses. they left in order to survive. kharkiv , sumy, bucha, raisin-kyiv, mykolaiv, this is a war in which there is no loss of life to weigh it, death, hunger, hunger. blood clutch moan roar cry tears fear all

in one word war here was the youth space of our community here was a big screen on this wall here we watched movies every weekend every weekend young people gathered here somewhere there were nice sofas that we made our own with our hands, a huge table by the panoramic window, we worked for only three months and already on march 11, a rocket flew in at night and our hub was simply destroyed to pieces, we

saw it when we arrived, so we did not believe that it was a story , but no. people who are completely alone and can no longer take care of themselves are people of a younger age, but they have the status of disabled since childhood. good evening to ignatin, who is a little cold, yes, yes, i brought you another fruit, if we don't know when the light will turn on and then it will be warm. i see what
