[000:00:00;00] good evening, vasyl, in the next few minutes, we will figure out why the state's gold and foreign currency reserves are growing, but the credit rating, in particular, in foreign currency in ukraine, is falling , about this not only in a moment, i'm oleksandr marchenko , welcome to the column about money during the war and i'll start with figures that are important for the ukrainian economy, so the international reserves of ukraine amounted to more than 31 billion 878 million dollars, this amount is a record for the last 11 years, well, this is evidenced by the latest data of the national bank as of april 1. therefore, in march, the state's gold and currency reserves increased by 10% immediately due to receipts from foreign partners, in particular from canada, the european union, the united states, and the national bank sold less currency to the market for the needs of the population, and there were no significant debt payments

to the state's creditors in foreign currency, but the international rating agency s&t later took the credit rating of our state in foreign currency. it became because of the official statement of ukraine, which decided to restructure its foreign debt in order to restore its sustainability, so to speak. to make such a certain calculation by foreign creditors was partly decided by the government, but according to the experts, this involves risks , analysts, for example, from the bloomberg agency , note that ukraine is now at a lower level next to ethiopia, here you know when these experts from good offices in the west western european countries, or american countries, american cities , they start thinking about rating agencies, they are sitting on everything, they count

numbers, look at the borders, ukraine, ethiopia once i divided the plus-minus into a column and it turns out that somewhere ethiopia is better, but it seems to me that now ukraine cannot be compared with any , it is the same as comparing a good athlete and some not very trained person and saying that this not very trained person will surpass him because it's just that the athlete is broken for gas, well, ukraine is in a state of war today, well, no country in the world today has suffered such aggression as ukraine for her now, how can you compare here although on the other hand, you will tell me now maybe our government is doing something wrong somewhere, as they say, but it does not contribute to the fact that this rating was slightly increased, vasyl . it seems to me that it is necessary to help more ukrainian entrepreneurs, in particular, large tax payers, not to pursue them, and not to try to take away business, we will not name we will not name this company, but here , vasyl, i will also add a remark that even if you are afraid of what bloomberg experts say, ukraine is not worth it

next to ethiopia. the economy is agriculture, it is the processing chemical industry, and it should be noted that ethiopia is such a country with a very fast-growing economy, and there are good gdp indicators , so i think there are advantages here too, but the world bank has unfortunately worsened the economic forecast for ukraine by the current year. therefore , the gross domestic product this year will grow by only half a percent, and not by more than three percent , as previously hoped, experts emphasize that due to the war and global challenges, the expected losses are now extremely uncertain it is difficult to calculate, since 30% of the country's infrastructure has been destroyed, entire cities have been completely destroyed. the world bank predicts the gradual recovery of domestic trade and light industry, it is oriented towards the demand among the population for domestic demand , in particular, and meeting the needs of wartime

. i will only add that the world bank and the international monetary fund e-e whose forecasts i voiced this week, they unanimously believe that the ukrainian economy, the gross domestic product will grow, it will not grow this year , but it will recover so rapidly, but from 2024 expect an economic breakthrough let's move on, ukrainian grain will be exported through poland without unloading in the country , government spokesman pion müller said. in recent months, polish farmers have held protests against the significant influx of ukrainian grain into the polish market, which was supposed to transit through poland to third countries, but the grain ended up on the market of poland this causes significant losses to local farmers , the situation has worsened so much that on april 4 , the minister of agriculture

of poland resigned on the eve of a visit to the country of ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyi. these are the agrarian debates currently taking place in poland, apparently, and not only vasyl. well, first of all, in poland, there is another question: how did the grain that was supposed to transit get to the polish market ? by the way, this is fresh news, the minister of agriculture of poland, robert telus , said that the ukrainian side offered to completely stop the import of grain to poland for a certain period of time, but not transit, what you were talking about well, although on the other hand, this was a transit, it’s just that this grain remained in romania, there are similar situations in romania today, too , and there were strikes, farmer representatives of farms came out to protest because they, i understand, are also dissatisfied with the grain that they are transporting well, it seems logical here to me. are they unable to calculate logistics? are analysts not submitting figures to the government that this grain goes to third countries , in particular, we are talking about starving africa , why then is grain unloaded at ports because

it is cheaper for someone to buy it in europe ukrainian grain, because ukraine is in trouble now, it is possible that the funds are cheaper, they occupy ukraine, well, ukrainian grain is then thrown away. union, if ukraine is your initiative, well, it is such a complex topic that i will try to analyze the situation in detail and we will discuss it with vasyl. it is very interesting that, well, in the future, you will study, i trotted to find out. and at what price, where did you buy ukrainian grain? because maybe it was really cheaper to buy ukrainian and resell it in romania than to sell, let's say, romanian, then if someone could make money from it well, here is the question , it should be clarified, well, first of all , no, not for you, the question is for those government officials who

i am doing this , who were engaged in this. at the moscow exchange, members of the queue of russians hungry for currency can be seen lining up at money changers in many cities. first, in 2023, the dollar in the country of the aggressor rose in price by more than 17%. experts call several weakening of the russian ruble - this is a lack of currency in the country, a decrease in income from the export of a currency pen, and also, this is the exit of western business from the market of the aggressor country, well, the business has left. investments in currency also left, and this is the situation we currently see near the exchangers . we are monitoring this. we hope that there will be a wooden one. today i read a very good opinion about the fact that this is the opinion of one of the former ministers of the ukrainian government, i will not say which minister, but interestingly, he asked you how many companies you are interested in, there are hundreds

of companies that left the russian market and, let's say, moved to china. government officials in order to then invite them to the ukrainian market or after the war. or it is possible to offer them such conditions so that they work now in ukraine, let's say in safer regions, let's say there the western regions of ukraine e or central and i of the western central let's say the unanswered question is whether such work is really being done in order to lure these people to ukraine who come from russia well, this is really such an interesting question. i think that it is necessary to find out what brands a-a maybe they will expand their presence in ukraine er, leaving the russian market. i think that we will understand the program along the way. in my column , we will directly name these companies . i continue to talk about money, in particular, in moscow. russia is selling public debt. this indicates that the kremlin hopes to

foreign financial support from foreign countries, which putin considers friendly , so to speak. this was reported in british intelligence. in this way, investors will finance some future deficits in the budget of moscow. experts say that this will indirectly finance the invasion of ukraine in the last month. the debt was bought by russian state banks. debt, however, will they be able to completely cover all the holes in the decree , so officials are betting on selling debt to so-called friendly countries, those that do not support sanctions, in particular, however, will it be possible it remains unclear for our enemy to realize this. well, we know that the kremlin is looking for support in african countries , it is trying to find some new markets for its goods, to import goods from abroad, because, well , european countries, the united states, here we are already settled, they said that they do not supply, in particular well-known brands to moscow well, i found that putin may have some support for himself, it is possible for honduras

to buy public debt, let's hear about this country and cooperation with the cream of russia's partner in central america benduras we will continue to develop a political dialogue with this country, first of all, it was important here that what they found was that honduras is also there, guatemala is there before nicaragua , by the way, it can also be a partner, because at one time the soviet union very actively helped the dnipro driver, no, at school, we collected humanitarian aid, well, it’s been a long time. but this country is on the shores of the caribbean sea, and what’s interesting here is that putin is speaking with these statements, and with all due respect to different countries and this native partnership for russia, which considered itself the top player in the world well, gondoras is definitely not the top player in the world as far as he is concerned. he has already somehow humiliated himself that no one even applauded him after his performance, he just turned around and ran away and left. well , this is just the best evidence of the level of partnership between russia and by the way, where will honda get the money to buy off russia's debt, well, i wonder

who will buy russia's debt in general, but even if they buy russia's debt, that's fine, let the creditors own it and tear their brains to shreds, maybe someone will just buy it through honduras, but not with the money of honduras, that is, you did not get to the enemies so easily, over 20 million dollars worth of property was disposed of by the american company cisco before leaving russia, the local agency writes about this and refers to the accounting statements of this transnational enterprise in august last year, a manufacturer of network equipment tried to withdraw his property from muscovy, but the order was not fulfilled then and they decided to destroy all it equipment, presentation samples of products, spare parts, vehicles, even office furniture and equipment village is a multinational corporation that is the world's largest manufacturer of network equipment designed to maintain remote access lines, security services, data

storage, routing and switching. well , that's how you don't let us take our property. shake even this dust off your clothes, they also made a net , they just took everything, like when bryullov left russia for italy, he even took off his clothes at the russian border, threw them off and said that i don't want to take anything from this country, well, actually, that's exactly what they're doing now, and in addition, a number of automobile canneries also left russia and were forced to leave the property, it was nationalized, that is, it was simply stolen, so to speak, by russia, so it seems to me that this is an example of this company , which was reported by a good such sign for well, many brands that are prevented from leaving moscow, well, let's move on. and he began to block

payments for russian oil if the price of raw materials exceeds $ 60 per barrel. thus, delif actually joined the price ceiling for kremlin barrels introduced by the eu and the g7 countries, the routers agency writes. let me remind you that after the introduction of western sanctions , india became the largest oil sales market for russia in march . india, well, i actually felt that india would be able to benefit, so to speak, from the situation with the price ceiling , it bought russian oil at a discount and filled its reserves.

in fact blocks certain operations with companies that were conducted through the state bank, now oil is above 60 dollars per barrel in india , it was possible not to buy it, well, if they wanted to, and it is possible to buy oil in russia like that, then sell it even more expensive, but from how and well, on behalf of india yes, you are already talking about such schemes where russian oil was mixed with other oil and it was no longer considered russian oil. regarding the limitation of oil prices, the baltic countries, poland, our state directly insist that the price ceiling be lowered below $60 per barrel , nevertheless, many leading foreign analysts say that the sanctions cannot work so quickly and $60 per barrel is currently actual figure it is working and it is only necessary to wait well, sanctions cannot work so quickly and punish the aggressor country as much as we would like it, we need

to take into account the needs of the world market, the only thing is that it is a pity that opec countries are here recently the oil cartel, which essentially holds the lion's share of the world market, has announced a reduction in production. well, of course, this can play into the hands of russia, well, that's it, but we'll talk about it in our next issues. for today, i'll finish my review and say goodbye to you, but i'm not saying goodbye to the big air vasyl, the winter will continue. look at us in the potatoes, you won't bring anything. something has caught on the tires. i remind my mother of dr. tys's comfrey, and you get back to work. we are with comfrey , german ointment for pain in the joints and muscles.

that we have a saw yurko returns a friend, i will fall off in the lips and meat, natural without zhivokost from dr. tais, ask at the pharmacies , the good day pharmacy and one social pharmacy med zivokostop 100 grams with a 20% discount. it's hard to talk about what you feel when you have urinary incontinence, an unpleasant situation can arise at any time, even with a slight effort, fortunately - this is behind me , uro feminost helped me thanks to the natural ingredients uro feminost helps to restore control over urination in the melon at night now i feel confident what a bridge! urination under control mykola veresen vitaly portnikov and the main topics of the week is if it will be used against ukraine god forbid really tactical nuclear weapons will definitely change the world stories problems analysis and

personalities we are waiting for john gerbs the former ambassador to the united states in ukraine thank you for the invitation do you have questions you will get answers, so there is a question waiting for you, which is worth understanding sports in september, every friday at 21:30 on espresso, we will continue the great thing and we have a story for your attention, he plays with a prosthesis in volleyball and although again return to the army andriy skver, a military man of the airborne assault troops, he chose donetsk region and took part in the ukrainian counteroffensive and during the clearing of the estuary he was blown up by a mine and was left without part of his leg as a defender mastering a prosthesis as i am building a plan for the future let's see in our plot andrii sklyarov, nicknamed fizruk, plays volleyball on a permanent prosthesis after being injured. first of all, i haven't held a ball in my hands for more than a year, because

my legs are still fine. andrii skkerov before the war on he worked in a mine in donetsk for 16 years. and in the evenings he taught children volleyball. he has two higher educations. but after the full-scale invasion, he left everything to go defend ukraine, defend his home, his family, and so and so that later after the war. when i train the children again, they ask me what you did . for victory, i will say i defended in june, the man was already at the front, he was an infantry soldier defending donetsk region, the main task that was set before the military was to prevent the russians from going to the slavyansk kharkiv highway, the man had three of these hellish

continuous battles, the men held their positions with great courage and did not give in to the enemy for a meter . i value health and life in the life of my friends . in response, at night, at night, the dergs climb out of the village. they knew that they had more weapons, they had more, that's why they were bold. last year, a soldier was wounded , which left him without part of his leg . the man's unit participated in the counterattack on october 1. the armed forces of ukraine took the estuary into a ring , it was the last settlement that had to be cleared. they would have told us that there were rogue positions there, we had to go and check if anyone was

there. well, it turned out that we did not reach the position there, but began to fly over the vegetables after the wounding. five months have already passed and finally the defender wore a permanent prosthesis during all stages of treatment with andrii, his wife victoria was here in the hospital, she is also nearby. when i came to see him for gas, i was still there, and the most difficult thing for him is simply for me, he is a human being, he was operated on not under general anesthesia, he understood everything and when during the operation the doctor says that well, unfortunately , it is impossible, uh, make a decision. what will you do? he said that you will amputate under a prosthesis, and when he was taken out of the operating room, i look and my legs are gone. supports him and accepts all the defender's decisions. i have already come to terms with the fact that andrija skerrol wants to return to the front

again . i've already experienced it a little. there is a rear, a reliable rear. well, we will fight. we are not there. i have a friend with the same injury . the video was uploaded by mr. googlydar. they are walking around. well, that is , he is already in combat. well, nothing is impossible for a military man. they are already looking for a new place in the armed forces of ukraine. soon he will go to the army again khrystyna parubiy andriy polyakovskii tv channel espresso well, thank you to my colleagues for a wonderful story, remember at the beginning of our broadcast we talked with psomlevsky from the kherson region, there the enemy dropped bombs from the air force on the ambulance and we already have more information at the moment regarding

the results of this crime by the russians . so, it is reported in the kherson regional council that eight people are injured , two of them are emergency medical workers . well, this is exactly what the enemy continues to terrorize the local population, not only that people are constantly blown up by landmines, are injured, maimed and die. yes, he also hits artillery, but artillery can be hidden somewhere, but here he also drops bombs unexpectedly from above, and not only on some infrastructure there or even on residential buildings he is still looking for houses, he hit the houses, the ambulance went to help people and it will turn out, it also threw a bomb at this ambulance, these are terrible crimes, they will be documented, of course, but it will not heal the the pity of these people will not bring back the dead, so now about sports here, fortunately, they win without such victims, although often and not without emotions and not without blood about iron victories in the world of sports

in yevhen pastukhov's review, the 20th round of the ukrainian premier league has started poltava vorskla beat ingulets, the only goal in the match was scored at the beginning of the second half, the victory was brought to the poltava team by vasyl kravets ' well-hit shot. thus , the vorskla team broke a 220-minute scoreless streak and also a five-game winless streak. on the 8th line in the standings of the ingulets championship - ninth, the remaining matches of the 20th round will take place on the weekend, in particular , dynamo kyiv will meet with minaj , shakhtar donetsk will play with metalist kharkiv, dnipro-1 will face lviv, and luhansk zorya will take the field against kryvyi rih kryvbas -4 positions the national football team of ukraine fell to the 30th place in the updated fifa rating, last year the blue-yellow team finished in the 26th

place, during this time our national team was overtaken by australia, serbia and tunisia in the ranking of european teams, ukraine ranks 16th place, losing two places compared to december. last year in 2023, our national team played only one official match against england in the euro 2024 qualifiers in london. albi celeste moved brazil from the top, which is now third on the second position, the national team of france. london chelsea and frank lempart are together again, the legend of the club, who previously coached the aristocrats, will lead the team until the end of the season. the lamp is the third coach of chelsea in in the current season, in september, the management of the blues released the german thomas tuchel. and in april, they said goodbye to

the englishman graham potter. lampa accepted the team that is in 11th place in the league table of england. under the leadership of lombard , the player of the ukrainian national team mykhailo mudryk will play in chelsea . joining the blues in january, the wise have so far managed distinguished himself with one assist but did not score, the ukrainian winger does not have a stable place in the base of the team, of course , the wise man would like to wish him success abroad and to achieve a certain result in the chelsea club, because everyone says that mudryk told a lot earlier that he would break shevchenko's records at his age , he was already the top forward, the scorer of the italian championship, playing for milan, in any case, success when you work more and less you always say something, especially when you have talent and mudryk has this talent, well, now i will talk about the weather, this issue
