[000:00:00;00] this is an interesting reasoning. come on, we already started talking, you started talking a little about bakhmut, look, now there's this rotation, it's like when they leave , the wagnerites can't leave because it's already going on , then he said that everyone will go to the first place, now everything has been played out again. he says that not a little later, well, in short, all these things also two days record a decrease in the attempts of the russians , after all, somewhere there finally to cross the borders. the city of bakhmut itself, because how could they not be near that plane, at least they i wanted to take at least some photos there, i even saw it on russian broadcasts, if they say, well , we can’t take a picture there yet, we can’t show you , but it’s far away over there

. to our defense forces to try well, as if how to throw back the russian forces in the very place in bakhmut, is this not worth doing, but is it worth it, as the battles are now going on actually from two flanks, in this vein, to continue, so that you say with excuse this as they can to act, well, it would make sense for ukrainian forces to act near the city, well, it would be interesting for ukraine to bypass the flanks of bakhmut, and in this way , the russians who are in bakhmut will simply do it out of good will , about the plane. they would do filming there, maybe they get money there. they just don't pay er in banerivsk for the fact that they captured bakhmut . until they make a moto next to the plane

, let them take a photo next to the plane and go and get money for bakhmut from putin, that's it. did not find it and they will lose it at home quite quickly, but to waste the lives of our soldiers in order to solve , let's say, the foreign and domestic political problems of the wagners in russia, well, it's not worth it, it's not worth it, it 's not worth it, because it's our place and we we are fighting for the wrong place, we are fighting for victory in the whole war, we are fighting for victory over putin's regime and for our freedoms, for our ukraine, so in this situation, if it is beaten correctly, give them controlled access there, you can

do it some show, well, you have to knock out the mud money from putin let him go, knock out money from putin and leave with bahmut , if you can, that's what you need to do, what special operation should you do, it was interesting now , in general, these are the most, well, except for bahmut - the most such uh places where the battles are taking place - this is in the area of ​​svatovskogo, well, the matchmaker is not far from the sfatovo axis. kyiv forestry is active, let's say that the list of possibilities for active hostilities is running out. do you expect any at all? if it's global, we have a couple of minutes left. what do you expect now, and what kind of behavior does the russian have on the front? well, we see that their offensive potential has been exhausted and

the defender is gradually being exhausted, that is, they have gone into a blind defense and that they are conducting a little active instruction there, that under bakhmut, the charcoal burner and so further in this area, it cannot be called active, very combative actions , they have no strength. that is the only thing that i should advise them and what i would like to see their active offensive actions, for example, moscow, this would be very good. it would be more interesting for them than you see the senseless war in donbas for them, that's the main thing, that's the main thing, for me, they're going to moscow from ukraine, there's your money , there's your leadership, they're taking away your stubble, it's a good goal, it 's quite symbolic, especially since the time will come when you'll have to pay and pay for all this they will be the resources that are currently frozen by us under the sanctions and possibly

the territories and many, many more things that they will pay pay pay pay for many years, well, i would like to think that they will do so, but so far we see that they do not they are gathering, continuing to gather, and the contract army is being increased very actively, and where the company believed in the involvement in the contract army, that is, they themselves will certainly not go anywhere. it seems to me that andriy , the sensual voice of the piccardian third, invites to the first solo concert in the extraordinary metropolitan garden, the song gallery of the window of feelings, june 10 at 16:00 tickets on the website of the organizer big show ua live sound watch this week in the program judicial control with

dry numbers and clear terms . how product prices will change, information about everything that affects our wallet, and informed means armed. watch the economic news project with andrii yanitsky on weekdays at eight in the morning on expresso. andriy yanitsky with economic news on the tv channel espresso as usual in the morning at eight o'clock in the morning, you and i are talking live, so it may be different, you are not promised anything . let's see what economic news awaits us today. so , electricity tariffs for the population will increase from june 1, the price will be 2 hryvnias 64 kopecks for 1 kw

was discussed earlier, the cost was higher, so the government went a little to meet the people, the government approved the resolution and urgently introduced the minister of energy herman galushchenko, the price increase is explained by the need for funds to restore the infrastructure after the russian shelling in ukraine currently has two tariffs for the population: consumers who use less than 250 kw per month pay 1 hryvnia 44 kopecks, and those who use more than 1 hryvnia 68 kopecks, the second stage of the program is starting, there is restoration, this is compensation for destroyed housing, according to the resolution, the government approved , and the money can also be spent on building a house or the purchase of a house, the amount of payments is calculated by the commission according to a special formula that will take into account, in particular, the region, the year of construction and the area

. you can issue such an application for obtaining funds for repair works will not only be due to the action of a and b, the national security agency or the social security agency have already submitted more than 15,000 such applications regarding the sources of compensation , about 62 billion hryvnias have already been collected by the government. in the fund for the elimination of the consequences of armed aggression, these funds will be enough for the first stage of payments as assistance for repairs yes and the issuance of housing certificates, because according to the world bank's estimates , one coma and 9 billion dollars are needed for the priority restoration of property in ukraine. we are working with our international partners to mobilize all the necessary sum well, a little announcement of our broadcast next tuesday, we will talk about energy security analysts from ukraine, moldova, georgia and romania studied the readiness of countries to eliminate risks in the energy sphere

ukraine took unfortunately, the last place in this study out of four countries and the best situation in romania, the study was presented by an analytical company dixigroup for this, they studied 40 indicators in the spheres of electricity , gas, oil and fuel. i literally assign minutes to to us and so in e-e. they work, of course, in other cities. mykhailo demkiv, for example, represents the icu group. and about yevhen dubagryza, i think we will not talk in detail. because there was such an agreement, mr. yevhen, we will start with you . so, ukraine successfully passed the first

revision of the imf's four-year program and receives a $900 million tranche. this is the second tranche . the head of the imf mission, gaving gray , informed me. nuances, well, at least. this means that they trust us, because i would not say that we are 100% moving in the right direction , for example, we had an obligation to adopt a law on return by the end of may, that is, by the end of june already our tax regime to the situation that was before the start of the full-scale invasion of mice, we did not do this, we just voted this law in the first reading, there are still certain nuances in the fiscal sphere in the budgetary sphere but

nevertheless, you know, yes, yesterday was very optimistic optimistic statements from the side of the imf and from the side of the representative of ukraine at the imf that they are giving us money despite the fact that we and i would say that we have fulfilled 95% of the commitments we made and this means that they trust us and are ready to give money, but simply in in exchange for the fact that we are moving along the course we have taken and that is very good, yesterday there was news, well, from this point of view, what if we do not even fully fulfill everything, but we show the desire, we show movement in that direction, in the direction of the obligations that we have undertaken they trust us, they give us money but here are the nuances of this imf program in that these revisions are quite frequent , literally every two or three months, the imf looks at whether we have done or not what we promised there and then revises the program. we

hope that after all, we as ukraine will to fulfill that write subscribed well, yesterday there was also a statement about the fact that it is not only about 900 million dollars. and what is this this first review it opens the way for us to more financing from western partners e p mykhailo what was meant when the experts they talked about more funding. that is, what are we talking about, our other partners, such as the european union, other institutions, they focus on the imf, their control over ukraine, control over the reforms that ukraine is undergoing, and accordingly, it is its own with a kind of marker, you can continue to work with the country if it fulfills the requirements

above, works according to the program, and every time it concerns the program of this review. er, on taxes ukraine has to fulfill, and at the moment the allocation of money is not one hundred percent, it is probably 99% there, because there is still a vote for the imf board on and and the next review of the program is already planned closer to september of this year and there will be there will be more such important issues, let's say, the budget for next year. well, as a rule, infin in this matter is quite such a curculous one, and this was not a big problem in the past years . actually, the preparation of the budget for next year will also

be a debt strategy, we will approach we are getting closer to debt restructuring, the longest period, and also by the summer, a strategy for foreign exchange sales and a return to infectious lending should be developed, i.e. , those things that until 2022 were like a range. we must return to them at some point. in fact, during the summer , the national bank and other institutions must develop a plan to achieve this, and at the next review of the imf program, the fund will assess how realistic these plans and deadlines are. their fulfillment, ukrainians began to take more microloans according to the data of the national bank of ukraine in the first quarter of 2023, the indebtedness of ukrainians for microloans

increased by uah 663 million and amounted to 8.7 billion , the amount of microloans taken also increased by almost 40% p mykhailo what does this mean , this is not impoverishment people have enough money to pay their salaries to live to see that they started applying to these microcredit organizations and taking out these loans at huge interest rates. is this a sign of something else? yevgeny, i see that there is no. and mr. mykhailo could answer this question he doesn't seem to hear. he doesn't hear. he doesn't hear us. mr. mykhailo has some technical problem. i'll tell you more about this situation while our uh. well, as i promised , we work live, so there are surprises. not without that. uh, i'll tell you in more detail

about our second program that we we cover economic topics - this is a business with andrii yanitskyi, we talk to entrepreneurs who have created their own small or medium-sized business - this is usually a business that also makes a huge social contribution to the development of society, this is a business created by immigrants and business created er business created a-a hm veterans very often and we every wednesday just today wednesday evening on the espresso youtube channel at 6:00 in the broadcast section live we show such a conversation with such an entrepreneur today will also be a conversation last week we spoke with manufacturers family cheese factory pumpkin paradise in the lviv region personally visited this enterprise, saw in what conditions that cheese is made, was on an excursion, saw a children's excursion of the transfer ward, how

school children produced this cheese themselves very interesting program, wow, worth watching, find it in the section, find it in the section live on the youtube channel espresso, they tell me that our experts are already there. increased by almost 40%. mr. mykhailo, can you hear us or could you tell us what this indicates? does this indicate some kind of impoverishment of the ukrainian people, that people cannot live from paycheck to paycheck, that's why they follow these money or is it about something else mykhailo i don’t see mr. yevgeny maybe you can help i’ll try to help well that’s not bad it’s not a bad

sign it means that ah ukraine that ukrainians are already restoring the demand for these microloans again that’s good it’s a good sign we saw about the same thing after the last crisis, when the demand started, ukrainians went to these microfinance organizations because the situation with the banks there is such that the banks have very high requirements for borrowers , the regulator has high requirements for banks and bank branches, that's why the recovery of lending of renewed crediting of the population, it starts with microfinance organizations and continues to increase. do you think that such a movement of the population towards microcredit organizations indicates rather that people began to feel more confident that they will return these funds, and not that they, uh,

have them left ? without income, and that's why this is the last step, which is the last salvation for them, that is, on the contrary, it seems to me that it seems to me that both this and that, because at the macro level , otaka, the increased demand for loans means that ukrainians really feel more sure well, because we are such a nation, if you say so about macroequality that we, uh, we don't go, uh, in this quick money, we don't go to the banks if we are not sure that we will not give this money, but of course, yes, this means at the same time that well indeed, people have less money than they expected, so they are forced to turn to these microfinance organizations , or he characterized it, he characterized it in such a way that now it is possible that there is a budget deficit, a cash gap, but it is. you are sure that

in the next place you will have a salary. you will get the money back, but there are crazy interest rates, you say that the banks have very strict rules, but there is, for example, an overdraft loan on cards that do not charge interest at all for a month, there is an opportunity to borrow from friends, acquaintances, relatives. why don't ukrainians, hmm, use such a-a s- ways to find money, but they go to a microfinance organization. hmm, this is some kind of sarcasm , or they just don’t know about such opportunities for card loans. ukrainians know, ukrainians use all opportunities, but we see i just now went to aggressive advertising from all these microfinance organizations. in fact, i would even say that sometimes these services are imposed, we see this advertising literally at every step, come take

the money, it's cheap, it's at 0%, and the national bank should do something about it, even somewhere a month ago i announced that there is an initiative to limit microfinance organizations to set the maximum percentage that they can charge the population for such microloans, you actually know this kind of thing , if you could say the situation from two sides on the one hand, it is very good that ukrainians go only to such organizations, it means that there is demand. there is something for the bank to work on, on the other hand, the interest rates are very high , and something must be done about it. well , the national banks. i hope that this problem will be solved i apologize once again for the technical malfunctions. this is a live broadcast. all kinds of things happen. the lights are turned off . well, you remember that we worked under rocket fire and during air raids, and

there are some problems with the equipment here, uh , you know. well, for me, it's humanitarianism. like that magical sphere, something like that. it's mysterious, but i'm dealing with it normally. i hope that the experts are not upset with mr. mykhailo . thank you for coming back. let's move on to the last issue that we agreed to talk about. this is the issue of the two percent tax for individual entrepreneurs. the verkhovna rada is still that mm adopted as a basis the law on the abolition of this preferential tax and i can already see a wave of dissatisfaction in social networks where fops at two percent say and that the war has already ended - it has ended, why are we benefits we are removing tax a-a how do you feel about this intention of the deputies to return instead of 2% -

5%. as for me me too i will catch it not not critical well the fact is that it applies not only to fop but also to other legal entities and actually between 5% and 2% there is really not such a big difference , but for er legal entities with with a turnover of up to uah 10 billion per year, return to the pre-war forms of taxation by 2022, which includes both vat and income tax, well, this whole structure that existed in a more normal time, water, well, it is logical. measure about 2%, it was temporary just for the period after february 24, just to survive the country, it cannot exist indefinitely in the return to normality, it is the only one

that is definitely correct . lost, or now this time less than uah 1 billion will be gained per month, large sums by e-e standards until the 22nd year, but by the standards of expenses that are at the moment, it is not such a large amount. but if we look at the perspective of post-war recovery, then the financial system er deficit it should be normalized and carried out to the norm and without returning to some kind of er taxation er it is not possible well, at least half of the budget is currently provided by our western creditors, we have to learn to live on our own and therefore it is necessary to return taxes but er also one more the news about the increase in tariffs for electricity for the population, evgeny. perhaps you will also give it such a general policy of the state to return tariffs to

increase tariffs to return taxes to a full-scale invasion. does this mean well on the contrary? of course you don't like it, it's a normal story, no one wants to spend more, but our electricity has been at the same rate for more than two years, despite inflation, despite costs, and that's why it's an increase. that there would be a moratorium on tariff increases, but now, but now it is already uh, well , it is coming to its logical conclusion that tariffs must be raised, and it seems to me that the raising of these tariffs will be perceived by the population there simply as normal how normal absolutely history, but it will certainly add a little to inflation because inflation in our country is decreasing, including due to the fact that

utility tariffs and electricity tariffs were fixed, and this increase will add so many percentage points to inflation. this is for sure during the next year well, minister of energy glushchenko promised that the payment , on average, will not usually exceed uah 250 for electricity, which in principle looks like an adequate figure. communal services, full cost, we also have housing subsidies, you can contact the social security authorities and consult how to get these subsidies. thank you, dear experts . i apologize once again for the technical inconvenience . mykhailo demkiv was a representative of icu , a financial analyst in our program, and

yevhen dubagrys, a financial expert, always in the middle. together we will win on the air with washington the program of the ukrainian service voice of america time there i am yulia yarmolenko congratulations the united states announced a new package of military aid to ukraine in the amount of 300 million dollars the emphasis of this round is security support on ammunition and air defense this is already the 39th package of aid under the program of presidential powers a this means that the weapons embedded in it will fall into the hands of ukrainians in the coming
