[000:00:00;00] and poland, and there is every reason to believe that this is cheaper russian gas, it enters europe without obstacles because there are no sanctions imposed on it, it is mixed or documents are simply processed and that is how it enters ukraine. some batches are indeed russian gas, but with reversed documents that have already been issued european countries and it seems that it is no longer russian, and accordingly , our customs accepts it and is forced to issue it, that is why this gas is very cheap . the government knows about it, says serhiy, and they have taken steps to prevent imports. smuggled russian gas, and while fuel is getting cheaper, the price tags for other goods either stand still or have risen again. new records are breaking. vegetables, borscht sets, which we always had in abundance and cost the cheapest , and today a kilogram of carrots is uah 45. onions are a record 70. these are the consequences of the occupied kherson oblast. most of them were grown in odesa agrarians

, they are trying to plant more, but the kherson volumes are not enough, it is felt that we do not have the so-called borscht set in the country, but we cannot, uh, work as in kherson, they gave 30-40% of the entire debt to barcelona. we compensate with imports from turkey, but due to the recent earthquakes , logistics have broken down and this also affects the price . early vegetables are expensive. ukrainian tomatoes are only beginning to appear on the shelves due to the energy terror. a month and a half, usually in april, the season had already ended, and this year there will be a peak, now the price has actually stabilized somewhere in the region of ee , if on the wholesale market it is somewhere around uah 70-90 and the harvest period is just gaining momentum now, and price reductions and price reductions are expected. i think that

the price of cucumbers will be quite low for about 2-3 weeks. i think that the price of cucumbers on store shelves will drop to uah 40-30 somewhere, it will definitely not be cheaper to work without interruption spent on a generator and fuel for 5 months, you are actually working at a loss and you need to add some interest every month in order to compensate for the losses you incur , so really for a sufficient time with us the price of milk has risen, and what is forecasted is that there may still be growth, plus there will be 10-15% growth for all domestic products this year, but at a lower pace, as predicted , inflation has slowed down in our country, it was reported to the national bank because the situation in the energy sector has become better and the hryvnia has strengthened by such three key factors it was the external record inflation in 40 years, the highest inflation in the world in the united states was in the european union

, now this inflation has decreased a little . thus, this factor is less pressing, the second factor is the devaluation of the hryvnia last year we saw the weakening of the national currency, now the hryvnia is stable, and the third factor is the logistical problems that arose as a result of the war. in fact, they have already had an impact on this , and therefore i will not push the beginning, or upward , in the coming months. the dollar should remain at the current levels. this is facilitated by the new imf program and it also slows down the growth of the walls natalya kulyk roman shcherbakov ictv fact the only news representatives of the church of the moscow patriarchate are leaving the lower lavra calmly and without conflicts, although their leader is the abbot pavlo almost every day makes loud statements that the monks will not leave the monastery, meanwhile the state is acting within the law by checking all valuables on the spot and that with the immovable property of the main orthodox shrine of ukraine, a special

report by oksana mykhailova with her belongings, representatives of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate are leaving the lavra little by little sometimes they have until march 29, then the contract according to which the monks rented the premises of the monastery was transferred 79 to release them, 20 days were given for eviction from the territory of the reserve, so some are leaving, others are still hesitating, we will act as vladyka pavel blesses strictly eh. well, it's time to show the governor until he doesn't want to leave it. today we have no place for us. all this is taking us nowhere, we

will not leave anything if we do not take away the valuables belonging to the state the police have been on guard for more than a week, the commission is working in parallel to check whether all the icons and other valuables are in place, there are a total of 829 of them owned by these items remain with the state to understand whether they are there and in what condition they are stored their presence with the documentation that remains in the reserve confirmed to us exactly that on the site of the tomb with the relics of ilya muromets and the infant john, the icons of jesus christ in the nearby caves, the mother of god of pecherska and the mother of god with the baby and monks anthony and feodosius, and the inspection is ongoing, after completion, we will be able to inform the leadership of the ministry and the public and the press, the contract with the men's monastery, the so-called lower lavra, the reserve is breaking for several reasons, among them the placement of other legal entities, violations during the restoration and

the construction of new buildings, and this is on the territory of the heritage under the protection of unesco, the publication spiritual front of ukraine published a photo of those buildings where there are apparently violations, we filmed them on camera, for example, the addition of a plastic veranda to one of the buildings, or here is this building of stone slabs, here they say a kitchen on many facades, air conditioners, or here this building was restored, the dimensions of the bathhouse were changed, and the baths were erected several times during the lease on the territory . and completely new buildings. what to do with this will be decided by the state. we are now creating a plan for managing this property. life must continue on the territory of the holy lavra, but in what way will these or other buildings be used , what to do with the new buildings that were often illegally today on the territory of the unesco site. by the way, i think that we will move consistently in this matter. despite the work of the commission, the lavra has not been closed to people , there have been no conflicts and they hope that

it will continue to be the case, and the religious community will still have to comply with the law. i would like to emphasize one important detail, the minister or priest - these are citizens of ukraine who must respect the laws of ukraine, the state acts in a legal way, reclaims the use of what belongs to it and must act within the framework of the law , including representatives of the religious organization oksana mykhailova and yevhen turfak and ictv , the only news, thank you for your attention, we believe in armed forces of ukraine, we believe in our victory . have a nice evening and most importantly, have a good evening and glory to ukraine if we fight, our children protect themselves, the war is not only on the

battlefield, the enemy uses hidden hackers agents of propagandists and collaborators in the hope of weakening our unity from the middle. however, we are safe thanks to real professionals who do not stop fighting at the front and in the rear in the information and cyberspace on land and at sea. we are calm because you are the best. the cities that were the first to meet the great war, in which fierce battles were fought, but despite the horrors of the occupation, they did not surrender, the enemy fully felt what ukrainian

rage and strength are. chernihiv-buryn is a manifestation of resistance and struggle semenivka horodnya koryukivka is proof of heroism and indomitability movchun is an example of mission and indomitability we endured we fought back our cities heroes are born here the courage to be an entrepreneur is born now how to build your own in the cold give warmth in the dark have ideas ambitions and act to develop business buy equipment go to a new level give people

ukrainian action is planned regarding the statements of thomas bach ? it is necessary to separate politics and sports. and why then, from the first days of the war, the newly appointed president of the international olympic committee, thomas bach , condemned this aggression and, together with the executive committee , decided on february 28 to suspend russian and belarusian athletes from competitions to create a background of solidarity to help our athletes and for almost most of the lesson we do not see russian and belarusian athletes in sports arenas, that is, by that time they understood that this cannot happen in the 21st century, that a-a war is a full-scale war is being destroyed, cities are being destroyed, citizens are being killed, children, women are being killed, that is, they helped us , they were clearly in solidarity with us, and

now another discussion has started, what should be separated, so frankly we everyone is, to put it mildly, surprised and outraged by the fact that for two months there has been a conversation about the admission of russian and belarusian athletes to international competitions , as for the fact that there will now be actions there. well, to be honest, we respect the olympic charter, we respect the olympic committee, we we respect that everything related to the olympic movement is why eh of course we don't know that we only heard about it that there will be actions about a spidolog in support of not allowing russians and belarusians to participate in the competitions , support for the recommendation given by the international olympic committee on february 28, it continued. and in general, the international olympic committee, both from the first day and to this day, was with ukraine , well, the mass media report that from tomorrow until

march 30 there will be an action in lausanne, formally it is called a picketing by the all-ukrainian trade union of sportsmen and physical workers culture and sports, youth policy, national-patriotic education , a peaceful rally, but i would like mr. vadim to clarify. and this position of thomas bach, is he voicing his position or is he voicing the position of the international olympic committee, which is a collegial body. i understand that he expresses the position of the executive committee of the international olympic committee, plus they have already included countries from other continents, because i already told you that when i was present at the summit of the olympic committees back in december, all the olympic committees were present and mr. bach , for a certain time, talked about how much help they had given to ukrainian athletes , how they were in solidarity with us, and then at the end

he started a discussion about how many countries countries from africa, crimea, asia to asia have already expressed their opinion. you know that in general she proposed that russian athletes take part in the asian games in asian competitions and qualify through asia for the olympic games, so i see, i see that there is already something going on work was carried out there on the return of russian and turnover athletes, but in general i do not understand what has changed since february 22, 2022, what has changed since then, now their floor has a desire to return that it has ended, that people have stopped dying, rockets have stopped flying you know, everything has become even worse, and that's why we, well, it's very unexpected for us, but we are working, we are doing

our job. i personally am from the executive committee of the national olympic committee, i am appealing to all national olympic committees, er, with a request not to support this really, to return the russians to belarus, our video connection has disappeared mr. vadim, can you hear me? well, we can, until the video is fixed , we can work for now, oh, eh, in audio mode , eh, your questions are absolutely logical. i want to understand now, and you there will be another opportunity to formulate the same questions to thomas bach and to this executive committee, since as far as i understand it must be some kind of collective decision and a vote on whether or not to return the russians to the belarusians under a neutral flag and there is still more to come on monday on monday eh i received an invitation to a meeting

eh it's not just me with tomos bahama. and all the national olympic committees will meet online on monday . on the agenda, there is a discussion on this issue. of course, i will speak . of course, i will take the initiative. to speak out and tell what is happening and why this issue is being raised and i will urge you to continue the recommendation , as an hour ago i signed letters to all the national olympic committees with which i cooperated, which help us, which are in solidarity with us and support us, so that they also take the floor to also express their position, i just spoke with the president of the latvian national olympic committee , he will also speak. they support us a lot and you know it is very nice

that many countries support us a lot crimea, who provide us with help, that's why we believe everything - we believe in the best. we believe that the national international committee will hear us and not change this recommendation. well , the vote itself will also be on monday for this decision on monday, march 28, and on march 28, the executive committee of the international olympic committee appointed committee i have already seen the agenda on the agenda there is a question about the return of russians and belarusians to the sports arena for qualifying competitions and the olympic games under a neutral flag well the 28th is tuesday yes yes, that is, on monday there will be such a doracha and on tuesday there will be a vote, the new ukrainian national committee will also vote there, or who will make this decision, is it the national olympic committees or the executive committee, the decision will be made by the international olympic committee of the executive committee of the international olympic committee yes, that is, they are in monday

they want to have, as it were, gather thoughts , thoughts, hear thoughts, hear thoughts, as well as the mood, and so on , to once again open a discussion on this issue well , but in parallel as far as i understand from our previous conversations with you on the air and in this studio is also an important position of the federation of various sports , by the way, our domestic biathlon championship is currently underway in ukraine, and the world biathlon federation excluded not only russian and belarusian athletes, as far as i remember, but also the federations themselves excluded the national team from its composition, then yesterday news arrived that the hockey federation also canceled the participation of russian and belarusian teams in all competitions of the 23-24 season. what is the position of the national federation in various sports these are not national, but international important for the international olympic committee. i believe that

this is the main position - it is a very important position that all international federations support us, and i have already explained that it is very important that inside the country, when they say that gutzite can be banned, take part in our olympic games, this is not how it happens , the main thing is that the federations personally decide to participate in international competitions. are developing in the world, you can recommend and the international federation separately determines whether it will admit russian and belarusian athletes or not. for example, we saw already a week ago how the international fencing federation admitted, unfortunately, russian and belarusian athletes to international competitions olympic games under

a neutral flag, but i want to thank all the federations that support us and do not allow russians and belarusians . the international union of biathletes eh that it not only does not allow them to compete , but they deprived them of their membership temporarily and altogether suspended them from the international federation for some time for an indefinite period and they do not and do not participate in eh there are no international meetings of the federation and i want to thank the president of the federation of lung athletics, mr. sebastian coe , who held a meeting in monaco and yesterday

he finished two days. legrad in the federation athletics and they continued the suspension of russian and belarusian athletes until the end of the war, this is very important news for us and very such serious news because athletics is one of the most important sports in the world, it has a lot of disciplines on olympic games, and it was very important that sebastian cole, the president of the world athletic group, continued the suspension of russian and belarusian athletes, and this is the most important thing, and we want the federation to know more. i want to tell you that in general, where there are no russians in the leadership of e-e international federations, are there russian sponsors or russian money that helps in the development of this sport, then there is support for us, there is support where there are, after all

, heads of international federations of russians are there sponsors from russia of course, of course they are trying to bring back great athletes from russia and belarus. unfortunately, we see it . thank you, vadim. well, then, we will wait for the meeting of the international olympic committee on march 28, at which the decision should be made about the return or not of the return of the russians to the 24th olympics under a neutral flag, vadym gutsaid was our guest, the president of the national olympic committee of ukraine and our minister of youth and sports is strengthening the borders of ukraine for drones, join the meeting of the border guard, the enemies must be stopped , you protect your own, we ukrainians know it well what are we fighting for, we don't just dream of victory, but

we bring them closer every day, we expel the invaders from our native land, we fight the internal enemy , we arrest the traitors who called for russian peace let's drink so that the occupiers pay in full for every crime and remember forever ukraine is a free state that is able to protect its future and ukrainians are a glorious people with a heroic history sbu we protect ukraine together small and medium-sized businesses in ukraine now need support, that's why there is work, a grant program for the creation and development of a business, it helps those who want

to grow and those who are just starting out, gives opportunities to those who have the skills, the main thing is to be ready to work and create such an opportunity for others, apply and get a business plan grant and work in ukraine because there is work , the government grant program for entrepreneurs is work is work diee.gov.ua for the development of your business for the verkhovna rada adopted a record change in the 30 years of independence to the state budget, predicting more than 500 billion additional expenses, the main part of which of course will go to the issue of defense and our defense needs , we will ask serhiy marchenko, minister of finance of ukraine, in more detail about this, mr. serhiy greetings good evening good evening mr. serhiy er-e immediately such a question and how such a huge amount is additional

for the budget will affect the financial situation in the country in general. as far as i remember, our budget revenues for the next year are a little more than a trillion hryvnias, and expenditures are about three trillion hryvnias, and if we increase expenditures by more than 500 billion hryvnias, then this should somehow theoretically affect the financial system like this a huge sum . yes, of course, the situation is absolutely extraordinary . you know that we have a war going on, and that is why, in principle, we are forced to take such steps. changes, but now it is a forced necessity, we have to find funds to support our army and give them comfort and confidence that they can fight until the end of the year and be sure that their wages, financial support and other needs are completely closed

. therefore, this is a forced measure, it is normal will affect the country's finances because we will be forced to borrow more, both internally and externally, but this is a forced measure. and we are ready for this well before we talk about the sources of filling this deficit. i would still like to clarify, i have no doubt that since the government made such a decision , it means that there were needs for it, but i want to understand whether it will affect, for example , the level of inflation, such an additional financial amount of expenses will not affect the level of inflation , because in fact, when we planned the budget, we assumed that the active phase of the military campaign it was there august september last month of the year we planned to end in the first half of the 23rd year unfortunately we see that the military company continues and the condition

has to revise our scenario and that's why it a forced measure, it will not have a significant impact on macroeconomic indicators, because in any case these funds should have been financed in kyiv or otherwise. partners, and we already have a targeted amount with which we close this year, which is 42 billion us dollars, so we are definitely looking into the future and there is an understanding at the expense of which we will cover it, so of course it will have an impact, but this impact is not significant and it already minimized by the decision of the government of the national bank of ukraine. you said that there will be sources of external borrowing and internal borrowing

to cover these additional costs . military bonds, we actively promote and actively use this tool, over the past two months, we were able to attract about 40 billion monthly by pursuing an active policy and thanks to the joint actions of the government of the national bank therefore, there is every reason to believe that we can borrow more by the end of the year and than what you originally planned, this will enable us to partially finance our military needs military bonds can you now say approximately how much you plan to raise through them during the year what is the plan in general for the annual volume more 300 billion hryvnias

we plan to attract have already been attracted, as i said, about 90 billion, that is, the additional increase that we have made the suspension budget of 271 billion hryvnias is good, but now the question arises whether such a situation can happen when will have to make changes to the budget again, well, it is obvious that they will be made in one or another proportion, but not so big, or can there be similar big steps in the budget changes in the future, because if we proceed from this logic that well , you planned the budget for the 23rd year in august-september last year, what was clear, now it is also difficult to predict how the military campaign will turn out, including after the ukrainian conflict. of course, there are no guarantees, we would like

the military campaign to end successfully the victory of the armed forces of ukraine is our natural desire and after that we would be engaged in the reconstruction and recovery of the economy of ukraine, but the situation exists and depends on many factors, so we do not influence the military company we must respond to the consequences of the military campaign in us there is a set of tools with which we can minimize the risks of any scenarios , so i am calm about it. i do not see the need to change the budget in the near future, we have taken the necessary steps to ensure the rhythmic financing of the e-e military campaign until the end of the year uhu well, i know that you took an active part in our last negotiations with the imf, which previously ended successfully for ukraine, what does this mean that the imf now has a multi-year program for ukraine, but how ready and able are we to implement this
