[000:00:00;00] our and our people, as well as the economy , how the ukrainian economy survived and changed in wartime conditions and its main driving force will be told by daryna dobrovolska in the character of ivan, the owner of the capital's bar, himself originally from the temporarily occupied berdyansk, in his hometown he left everything he had, housing , regional business and the past a peaceful life without russians, the first two months of a better job in the capital and an incredible desire to gather my own and start over, which i knew from other bars. and i have an idea for a project, so i hear suhovku, he just quits like that. i say what are you doing? there is no money, there is no room, and everything will be. i believe in you. his team is 15 people. chefs , waiters, bartenders, all of them come from berdyansk, without starting capital, money, but with an idea, so

this is their story in the capital. and the facility has been operating for more than a year, we found an investor, he helped us, he provided the same part of the money at the start so that we could start some work, but this was not enough, we agreed with someone that we would take it there, then we would give the money back, and we borrowed from someone somewhere they were occupied there, someone gave something there since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, about 800 enterprises moved in without moving, 623 of them are already working in this, they are helped by the state and the people, every ukrainian is a cog in the economic machine of our country, and here, for example, such a simple thing as buying a cold lemonade in an institution also moves the economy forward . you help small businesses and they pay taxes and donations to the armed forces, jobs , taxes as a result of filling the state budget. from the first day of the great war, the authorities

supported entrepreneurs in war conditions for after this, the government adopted a number of unprecedented relaxations for business, the state began to pay employers six and a half thousand hryvnias for each employed migrant and introduced tax benefits depending on the size of the business, for more than a year , entrepreneurs were allowed to either not pay one of the taxes or pay less, they were exempted from paying vat for everything that businessmen take sleepers to the country, they did not collect excise tax for almost a year and sold it at seven percent instead of 20%, and they canceled the business inspection and it worked at the beginning of the war, about a third of the enterprises were working and two-thirds were directly closed, but now these figures have turned around and up to two-thirds are working and, together with business, from bullets and the enemy . about five million ukrainians are fleeing to safer regions of our country, as they initially left with the occupations they tried there

for six months, it was hard to leave, the state still helps internally displaced persons , it pays uah 2,000 per adult and uah 3 per child and a person with a disability, 46,000 displaced persons have already found work and do not take money from the state budget, but supplement it the state employment service continues to work at the moment, as of july 1, they had 55,000 vacancies, this is quite a good number, almost like the 66,000 before the war, so they have many vacancies in small towns, we strengthened support for our economy and other countries , great britain, the eu and canada, we canceled and did not import our goods first for a year and later for two difficult months of negotiations since the beginning of the great war and another powerful economic achievement exported ukrainian grain to international markets ukraine and russia concluded a grain agreement through turkey and the un to to avoid world hunger, because the aggressor state blocked the seaports and fired at our ships through the grain corridors. we have already delivered almost

40 million tons of grain crops. the enemy attacked our oil depots and oil refineries, destroyed 27 and caused losses of 227 million dollars, but despite this, we refused the russian and belarusian fuel, and supplies from europe were established. in the fall, the enemy tried to plunge ukraine into darkness . they attacked the energy infrastructure and hit the economy , amounting to eight and three billion dollars in direct losses. but even here we stood, entrepreneurs purchased generators, the state set up points of invincibility. and you and i lived with electricity according to the schedule and sometimes without it, when our energy workers bravely restored the damaged under shelling, and the enemy does not stop testing our strength and poaching arranges a large-scale tragic acocite in ukraine, the russians undermining the kakhov hpp, the death of people and the loss of their homes, the irreversible destruction of flora and fauna in terms of the territory and the lack of drinking

water as a result, another blow to the economy direct losses were estimated at more than two billion dollars, housing and energy were the most affected, transport infrastructure, industry, the social sphere, and agriculture were the most affected. the national bank, which since 2014 had been working out all possible scenarios in the event of armed aggression of the russian federation against ukraine, was the main target of keeping our economy afloat. were cleared, i.e. those banks that can and should work worked and the exchange rate was free, i.e. market-based, people saw that all payments were going, the economy was working and this also restrained any panicky moods, the money of western partners is the main guarantee of a stable ukrainian economy today since the beginning of a full-scale war. we received more than 38 billion dollars in aid , half of our budget is now the money of our

western partners, one of the results of this aid is that the devaluation of the hryvnia is actually minimal and the hryvnia has remained stable for a year, the ukrainian budget in dollar equivalent was more than arbitrary in february 2022, we were predicted to have a 50% drop in the economy in six months. however, in 500 days of war, we lost less than 30 and are moving in the direction of recovery thanks to our armed forces to the partner states and above all to the people who did not leave the country in extremely difficult times and help move it forward darina dobrovolska and kostyantyn tsarenok we are ukraine marathon single news ukraine is a sovereign and independent state its territory is integral and inviolable and we will fight for it as much

as we have strength. we the people are the only source of power in ukraine . ukraine we will never forgive the enemy who cruelly destroys everything we love, we fight for ourselves in ukraine, the world for respect, dignity, because we all want to live in a modern civilized world, we respect each other, the law , human trafficking, the risks of falling into sexual or labor exploitation are real due to the loss of homes, lack of funds documents taken, means

of communication restricted movement, access to medicine, rest, food, forced or incited to sexual acts , drawn into financial dependence due to debts all these are signs of falling into a situation of human trafficking, you are in danger or you see that others are in danger, call to learn more about safety rules and opportunities to help , the recent actions and statements of the leader of this country have caused a sensation of hysteria in the russian federation. an hour, i will remind you that this information marathon is the only news channel, we are ukraine, and we will be in the studio with you until six

o'clock. together with us and follow all the important events that concern our future. therefore, he insists on the extension of the grain agreement and is waiting for putin to talk about his intentions . erdogan told the president about things that did not exist. according to the results of the meeting with volodymyr zelenskyi, he announced that active work is currently underway and due to the continuation of the grain corridor, the term of this agreement coincides with july 17, in a conversation with the russian dictator , the turkish leaders promise to also touch on the subject of the exchange of prisoners with us serhiy bratchuk the spokesperson of the ukrainian volunteer army south, a military expert, including mr. sergius, we congratulate you good morning, glory to the heroes, mr. sergius , you know, using your wide er horizons in knowledge, this is where i would like

to start - let’s definitely talk about the grain agreement on the work of the grain corridor or er hmm can we predict how these negotiations about the grain agreement will go in the context of togo, so erdogan said about the prospects of ukraine in nato and about the return of the azovians to the motherland to me it is impressive that you now have such a thing in our common hotel that resonated with putin, turkey, because a few days ago, when the russian federation started talking about the fact that the grain agreement would not be renewed, they were not satisfied with what is happening today, so uh, we said about what exactly erdoğan has, including showing the event his place and showing that verdoğan is about the same steel, something that is not present today and will no longer be in the kremenchug

dictator, and they talked about the fact that not only the usual grain weather will be in perspective conversations with the ukrainian president, will it be a question of nato and we see what was the statement and then there is another. i apologize for such a comparison. the icing on the cake. when our azov commanders were released, they will continue to fight with the russian aggressor in kharkiv oblast , so we talked about the fact that there are economic ones, including well, i am not talking about political and military levers to put russia in its place, remember there was already a story when russia demonstratively announced to the whole world that it was leaving the grain initiative turkey ukraine and the organization united on these despite my personal relationship to this international structure , they looked at each other and said, well , okay, we work for three, and in a few days , then i had to join and continue

working within the framework of the grain initiative, which for today in fact, it does not work, we know perfectly well that it does not work, because it was russia who wanted to create this food crisis , russia wanted to issue an ultimatum again to force the participants of the grain initiative to do as it wishes, but this will not happen, we have to remember that turkey, in addition to economic leverage , also has leverage, because today we are talking seriously about the black sea fruit of the russian federation as the alleged master of the black sea. this is putin, if he didn't want to forget. he can't and they don't let him do it, so i still hope that the grain initiative will be extended, and what's more, you see that

erdoğan is talking about two years when calling putin. food under this grain agreement with extension because every three months this is at least, and i think that prospects will talk about longer terms, but again here i apologize, but here it will already depend on the successes, including the armed forces of ukraine , on the field, yes, mr. serhiy from a lot depends on our military, but we see how defiantly russia behaves from time to time and blackmails with this agreement, if it is not extended, the consequences will be truly catastrophic, first of all for our farmers, they will bear the losses huge, and next year they will be forced to reduce their production. what is happening today, what is the situation in ukrainian ports as of now ? what do you know? i already said that the grain agreement is unfortunately not working. because the joint coordination center that is in in istanbul, he does not accept those applications, rather they are applications for passing the route

grain initiative to ukrainian ports in order to ship agro-industrial products. this is a rather broad nomenclature . of course, i would like to update and make pharmacies accordingly, there should be more of these types of agro-industrial products. but russia so far has not actually given the green light to this . i say it again. now there will be a very serious conversation. yes , it is up to putin, and i think that the continuation of the grain initiative will be and what the scope of work will be. whether our ports will come out will of course depend on this conversation, including i hope that these volumes will be greater than they were there a month or two ago. well, even more than it was in january of this year, mr. serhiu, still , on the grain corridor, one more question for you i will ask, especially since i asked you a similar question in a slightly different format a year ago

, but since then a lot has changed . please tell me, under the conditions of work, as you say , on the three e in the grain corridor, will turkey already go to, say, the escort of ships? well for the court to be found under their control, including er with military escort, now of course it is difficult to say that it will be 100%, so i think that this option is being considered at least i think that the option is being considered including and it would be very good if the security of this grain corridor was also ensured by the f-16 planes that will be in service with our army and the air space must be protected. actually , they have already started talking about it. i hope that levers will be found after all. i said it will be

the military in that among the levers in order for putin, the russian elite , conditionally the foreign elite, still joined the continuation of the work of this grain agreement. the dictator, of course, she does not fully reveal what is happening, but those who are around putin, they understand that something must be done with the grandfather and something must be done with the establishment of a grain agreement because he will simply force it. as for the security situation, two news, well, one is not news - this is the education of analysts of the institute for the study of war eh. they write there on the temporarily occupied territory in the south of ukraine

. the weak defense of the occupiers on this part of the front, and to this information i added the news that the russians are already preparing for defense on the territory of crimea. please tell me whether you share the conclusions of the analysts of the institute for the study of war well, i will say so i always treat with respect any - what kind of institutions working in this direction draw their conclusions from this situation, which is developing in particular in the south of our country , we can talk about that and these institutions are noticeable ... well, first of all, the enemy is really preparing for defense on the territory of the occupied crimea it is clear that we can see from the movements that are taking place on the temporarily occupied peninsula. although you know the morale, i will

talk a little about this right away. i am watching the crimean media, which is on the territory of the peninsula. to advance, but as they say, we will not give up our russian land, it is cyclical settings, even to ask about the nazis, we heard this in the 14th year, including , but as for the southern areas of the front, we cannot talk about the defense there support and it is so weak, heavy battles are taking place in this military theater and it is clear that the southern direction is not a hollow , the enemy has fed the fortifications there, but the fact that the enemy has started to shine, the word allows you to investigate a certain operationally strategic reserve, what is in the mountains today he is in a hurry and by and large he does not understand where the more active offensive actions of the ukrainian army will come from, this is

how it looks today uh, progress is slow for someone, hate. to be honest, this is a word for me, this progress is planned, and today in the mountains i am forced to act according to the plan of the ukrainian military and political leadership, this is exactly what we are talking about a strategic initiative, that is why they are looking back, that is why even the reserves are trying to close the holes that are in they are starting to appear today. i hope that in the near future they will also appear along the entire front line. the front is dynamic - that is clear. but nevertheless, i agree that the strategic initiative today is in of the armed forces of ukraine, but it is difficult to know the fields of partisanship, i already told mr. serhiy about this, using the opportunity that you are with us now on the air, we ask you about various things, about what you know, and in particular we want to ask about odessa, and after the explosion of the kakhovskaya hpp on the coast, so in odesa a lot of things came in and bathing is prohibited by locals

who come temporarily to odessa , mr. serhiy, what is the current situation on the beaches , how safe is it now, are there vacationers there, do they obey the prohibition not to swim? well , of course, there are always individuals who violate those the rules are set in some direction. i emphasize again, i hope that at least one more person will listen to me in order to ensure the life and health of our citizens. of course, there are those who violate these rules. the ban on swimming continues today. but first, pyrotechnics are used so that there are no explosions . because we understand that the risk of other explosive devices falling into garbage and mines is very high today, although the sea is being cleaned. i hope that nature will

take your own and it is happening slowly, but i want to say once again that forbidden love exists, and once again, addressing the citizens , i want to urge that bathing in the river is not just prohibited today. it is still a risk for your life, because now there are some bookish seasons diseases they also did not go anywhere well, actually we are talking about the fact that the state of our drinking water in the south , in particular in the odesa region, today meets all sanitary standards, the situation is fully monitored. it is really fully controlled in this regard out of two of the regional military administration from the side of the military command, that is why the operational situation of the water today is like this. well, we will once again join the call to vacationers to behave with caution, mr. serhiy . thank you very much for joining. about the military aid that will be provided to us at 800 million

dollars, the same amount was estimated for the next package of military aid that the usa will give to ukraine, it included ammunition for of the petriv air defense system and the heimer system, artillery shells, missiles for air defense, stinger javeline complexes , as well as bradley bmp howitzers, stryker armored personnel carriers and several dozen special vehicles. the united states also decided to transfer cluster munitions to ukraine . the effectiveness of such weapons on the battlefield is high . cluster bombs belong to indiscriminate projectiles. they cover a large area and pose a threat to both the military and civilians. kyiv assured washington that the projectiles will be used carefully with minimal risk to the civilian population well, let's remind you that this is the 42nd aid package that the united states is transferring

to ukraine, let's talk about good morning, we congratulate you good morning, mr. oleksia , i looked several times over the list of weapons that the united states is transferring to ukraine, i didn't see any atakams there and i didn't see f16 there. maybe you saw it, no. i didn't see it either, well, r16 - it's most likely they will be transferred to us, they will be transferred. well, not before , uh, in the fall of this year, although there are skeptical forecasts that it will be at all at the beginning next year, and with regard to the attacks, this decision will most likely be made, it is already almost made, and i think that we will see them the closest you will be in the future, well, these missiles are relatively long-range, we call them long-range missiles, but according to the international classification, such missiles that fly fly

at a distance of less than 500 km are considered short- and medium-range missiles . well, this is how the international document states. if this is how they are defined, then maybe there is another reason why when we ask for long-range weapons, it is perceived, well, at least not by the leadership. of the united states or other countries, and the population that we want some very long-range missiles that can shoot there almost at other continents. no, if we constantly say that we want attacks as a short- and medium-range missile, i think the reaction would be a little different. well, that i don't think it's a matter of words, but it's a small nuance, will we see these rockets or not , well, we have the same weapons as the stormsedams, which can fly, well, several hundred kilometers, because according to different estimates, this one has, uh, we have different flight ranges i don't understand these rockets

what if in such a rocket, well, excuse me for asking for such an explanation, uh, put less explosives, simply put, more fuel, then it pays further, that is, the exact range to say how much it can fly is conditional, because the weather conditions well, a lot of things, how will it fly, at what height does it hang we well, we understand that if it will fly somewhere at an altitude of 10 km , well, for example, we won't read any rocket right now, the air there is more depleted and it can develop more speed, fly further. well, and so on, this is a package of help, especially well, we insisted and did not lie. we asked that the main thing is that what we are asking to get right now is really a missile for anti-aircraft missile systems because they are running out. well, we see how many raids the russians are making. well, of course , we really need shells for artillery during offensive actions. well, shells it is necessary to be as accurate as possible. that is, it is so, so, so, in general , it is a very, very powerful weapon, talk about the fact that

it is not selective, well, that is correct, it was not selective, but it can hit, but one shot can hit the area, cover the damage more than a shot for an ordinary well, of course, not with a cluster projectile, that's why in order to fight against russian special absorption facilities. well, such and such cluster projectiles are extremely necessary, because a cluster bomb, well, no one is going to use the professional population, well, that's how you know that the ban on such, well, the ban arose because that they were sometimes used in such a way that there were large losses among the civilian population, well , they were used simply where there are civilians, and if they are used on the battlefield where there are no civilians people, well, i don't understand what harm can be done by these weapons, go, well, harm to the enemy can be if you feel sorry for the enemies, so you know that already then i have to fight, that's another

story, the second package of aid that the united states of america will give us, say whatever please this is a replacement for the fact that now we actually need to replenish our or reserves is it still a more extensive aid package and it can significantly change the situation on the line of fire an expanded package of documents after the next rammstein rammstein which will be a few days after free croissants and nato is a package of aid, well, i, i, i don’t know how to evaluate centrally , we are conducting hostilities, we now see that we are facing something directly during offensive actions, what exactly are you lacking, well, this is an operational operational situation, and in general, we need e well, let's be a little philosophical, we need planes even of the fifth generation, we need tanks that we can produce ourselves, we need a long-range strategic ballistic missile, and

so on. that is, it is not in general, and we understand all this, and i am sure that our the military-industrial complex after the victory in this war will be there, we will actually have missiles and compatible with the germans. we plan to produce tanks and so on, that is, we will do a lot of things, but there are things that are needed right now, and we must thank our partners, they understand this situation there are many people who are military specialists who also see the power and means used by us on the field or used by our enemies, and therefore they understand what is needed right now and power , such packages they sell to us, and well, we wanted the only thing would be for it to be a little faster, because you can refer to president zelensky, who said that some of our units have not yet started offensive actions as planned because they are not fully equipped with what we already agreed on at the previous rammstein, well , certain delays are happening here, you can separately talk about this is to talk about why they are happening

but we hope that soon this situation will be corrected and the supply will be faster regarding the supply of all that cartridge ammunition still wanted a couple of words did not see two point of view hm regarding the assessment of the use of cluster munitions on the territory of ukraine, some military personnel say that it is almost a silver bullet, others say that it is just another arrow in the quiver . how do you assess? in the plane, because we think that, well, you know, for some reason, we have a glass to believe that some kind of forever, not even a weapon, will immediately give us the opportunity to win this war. well , it is a quiver of shelling. the arrow is corrupted , or rather, everything together gives us possibility

to advance, to advance, to destroy the enemy, and in itself well, remember how many conversations there were about leopard tanks, for example, that they would appear and that's all, well, they appeared, we use meters, so everything is protected by the sky well, by and large, ballistic missiles are shot down over kiev i would really like to it seems to me that it was also mr. zelenskyi who said that he would like to. or maybe gryaznikov, i can’t say for sure, but the logic was such that it is necessary to protect other large places in the same way that kyiv is protected, and you were so strategic infrastructural facilities to enable the enemy to break through our lines popov, let's give one more time, any weapon is even very good very modern by itself does not decide the outcome of the war but in the complex so it gives where there is a certain advantage well, see you yourself started talking about tanks, er, i remember the publication bloomberg, which probably stimulated
