[000:00:00;00] these words appeared 160 years ago for almost 70 years they were forbidden to be mentioned now these words sound throughout the world as the anthem of freedom big things begin with small steps thank you for your step the state is us without weapons in our hands but with brave hearts they dare to go through the flames and smoke to save the injured, brave enough to go out on mined lands so that the light in our homes is restored , brave not to make mistakes when there is no right to make a mistake, because the fate of millions depends on this

, brave enough to give hope and faith that everyone who is waiting help will not be left in trouble where a person is going through the most terrible moments unarmed heroes rescuers of the state emergency service are approaching victory and fight for every life we ​​unite for the health of our defenders temguard union of doctors that provides free medical assistance to military personnel provides treatment and prevention of dermatovenerological diseases for receiving a free consultation leave an application on the website to join the initiative dermatovenereologists can on the website of

the temkart organization we will help our defenders for of the future of ukraine so we will continue our work live, we remind zaporizhzhia region that an air alarm sounds the verkhovna rada adopted amendments to the budget code, the changes related to ensuring the predictability of budget policy and strengthening debt sustainability. thus, ukraine has fulfilled another condition of cooperation with the international monetary fund. amendments to the law on the state budget, as well as the restoration of medium-term budget planning from 2024 i would like to remind you that it was suspended due to the full-scale invasion of russia last year . oleksandr chupak, head of economic programs of the analytical center , ukrainian strategic research studies, is now in direct contact with us. of the foreign exchange fund ukraine should receive enough

millions , hundreds of millions this year. approved in the next few weeks, the imf also notes the improvement of these structural beacons, such as inflation, such as the growth of the gross domestic product. a rule that has existed since the very beginning of the existence of mankind. apparently , when the economy is in a stable state for a certain time, no matter how difficult this state is, but if it is stable, then the economy begins to gradually recover and develop

in the same way, here we see that ukraine already after the full-scale invasion of russia began . what months were we in the last free fall, the economy seriously shrank, but then recovery began. stabilized , and today, already in the first quarter of 2023, we saw that ukraine is on the indicators of recovery where there is an imf, from minus three percent to a drop to one percent growth for the 23rd year, which compared to -2019%, we are already in the 22nd year of progress , we have pushed back from us and we are starting to grow, and the fact that our soldiers are holding a stable front line today and even recapturing

our lands, this seriously helps the economy to develop today actually mr. oleksandr and maksym asked about the adjustment and the ukrainian economy, but how determined are our partners, the international monetary fund and other international funds, ready to give money for the implementation of many programs because, well for the most part, such funds cannot provide money for weapons, they can provide the implementation of various social programs and so on. how much has the opinion changed? from february 24 to today, about determination and what they are willing to provide money for, how can you evaluate what they are willing to provide money for? shown by the program for 115 billion us dollars, which was approved back in the spring, then the imf promised us to allocate 15 billion, and the remaining 100 are

various countries of the world, various organizations , first of all, our western partners, the united states and others. this program will last four years in this this year, we receive a part that will allow us to pay off the deficits of the state budget, therefore, knowing that this program is that the money is allocated, we can be sure that our allies will help us, they believe that we will use this money with benefit and we really need it in relation to of the programs for which they are allocated, yes, there are really different targeted targeted programs , they are usually foreseen in advance when ukraine agrees when ukraine

, e. for social projects, it is like restoring the infrastructure, restoring those houses that were destroyed as a result of russian attacks, but there are also funds that are directed to the purchase of goods of the so-called dual purpose , after all, ukraine must find funds in order to buy, for example, parts for the creation of unmanned aerial vehicles and such other p oleksandrovich, i wanted to talk to you about inflation, but in fact , the correction was very noticeable, and the analysts of the international monetary fund revised it from 26.5% to 15% from a good a signal that this will mean for the wallets of ordinary ukrainians, on the one hand, the signal is good, on the other hand, this calculation is subject to the so-called high base effect, because we

are already comparing with those high prices that were last year, if we are talking about the second and third quarters of 23, then comparing with the second by the third portal on the 22nd. prices were already high, and that's why the growth year by year seems to be less, but the prices continue to grow at a slower pace, and that's why, first of all, the exchange rate remains stable dollar is not more expensive for us imported goods and therefore the level of the shadow of ukraine itself remains relatively stable, of course against the background of this great uncertainty in which the ukrainian economy is, inflation is a natural phenomenon but it will decrease as the economic system itself stabilizes well, and plus the fact that we have a deficit-free budget, thanks to the fact that we

are helped from abroad, we can fight these effects of increasing value . by the way, these positive forecasts from the imf with regard to the economy of ukraine, they are based mostly now on what, oleksandr , on those revenues that we actually have from these funds, because we have certain problems . we had a certain percentage of revenue to the budget, that is, what constitutes this positive signal from the imf, now here here , again, the fact that we have a stabilization of the economy , this is the main main positive which which today allows the ministry of internal affairs on the one hand and the ukrainian government to the national bank to also say that

the ukrainian economy is starting to recover compared to the previous year, of course there are big problems, that we are not allowed to transport certain goods by sea, that there are constant attacks on the trade infrastructure of ukraine, but business i i am confident that he will quickly find ways to be able to take it out by some alternative ways or perhaps by land rail transport, thereby somehow adjusting the situation in the country taking into account the fact that we , for example, that ukrainians are no longer going abroad as seriously as it was a year ago, during the 22nd year, about 8 million people left us

, according to the un, and the largest number of them left approximately in the first half of the year after the beginning of full-scale actions, today we do not see such a picture, stabilization has taken place, that is why we ourselves and our partners, led by the imf, say that a return to slow growth is happening last week, there was such an interesting discussion about the recovery of ukraine's economy after the victory, and mr. pishny spoke very seriously and expressed his opinion that a little more time will pass , literally months are being calculated, and ukraine will seriously have to compete for 6 million ukrainians who are abroad in order to

convince them to come and work already in the ukrainian economy, not abroad, in the ukrainian economy, how many people are assimilated very quickly abroad. do you know how many firms are opened in only one poland, yes, dozens just in the last year. please tell me whether this is a problem and such a threat to the ukrainian post-war economy well, it is actually a very big problem that needs to be solved today, it should have been solved last year or so and somehow look for these ways of returning ukrainians because we know from basic economic science what work is labor force or the availability of people in the country is one of the main resources that are used to firstly produce goods

and secondly to consume goods and the economy itself it has reason to grow if there is someone to work and someone to buy the goods that are produced, so if we have, for example, a difference between 40 million people who were in ukraine before the start of a full-scale war and there are 30-32 , well, let's say 35 million after that we will win then the difference is quite significant and it takes away from us a great potential for growth. if these people do not return, then today we must create the conditions. we must say that these people, in case of return, will be able to realize themselves no worse than they are realized there in the west. were favorable. of course, it is still a very big question what policy the government will use, how exactly it will encourage

these people to return, but i hope that such a policy will be developed and the implementation will begin already. abroad and as a workforce, in particular and not only some are working in ukrainian businesses that have already opened since february 24. there will be a lot of work, oleksandr, thank you for your comments . thank you. oleksandr chupak was in touch with us. the head of economic programs of the analytical center ukrainian studios of strategic studies, president volodymyr zelenskyi went to the front line in the city of chasiv yar in donetsk region, he congratulated the special forces with a professional holiday at the place of the president , learned about the needs of the units in weapons, equipment and equipment, and also presented the soldiers with state awards. it is worth noting that his daily volodymyr zelenskyi also

recorded the address from there. so let's listen. i wish you good health, dear ukrainians. ukrainian women today in donetsk region, during the times of kramatorsk sloviansk druzhkivka kostyantynivka with our soldiers, our heroes, congratulated and had the honor of such a personal congratulation, who shook hands, awarded the soldiers of the special operations forces on the occasion of their professional day, they are always on the hottest areas of the front in the most responsible features of the tasks and such now the bakhmut direction came to them, thanked the guys for the strength of heroism for professionalism for the extremely professional defense of ukraine the strength of special operations is such heroism that it is impossible to tell all the details and only because years later, such specifics of the operation, the boys inflicted particularly significant

blows on russian terrorists and from what we can talk about now of course, this is participation in key combat operations bakhmut, in particular, avdiivka krasnohorivka maryinka soledar, along with everyone , defended kyiv, his stomil and bucha irpin and mosh makarov island zmiinets is also a sensor together with intelligence together with the alfivians and naval forces kinburn spit kherson now the liberation of old mayovsk is also the results in particular of the ssu during the war 17 for his special operations worthy of the title of the bureau of ukraine, 13 of them, unfortunately, the death is not a total of 2,520 uah in sso awarded with state awards thank you soldiers for your results for ukraine for all our people thank you for the chevrons and it is very honorable and once again i wish you the most important victory over by the russian attack

on the dnipro, the work at the site of yesterday 's missile strike was completed already in the morning, 9 people were injured, among them two teenage children, everyone was given the necessary help, this is every such strike, the entire russian terror will be felt by the enemy for sure the force of justice, we will not forget anything from any of them and will not forgive. today is the anniversary of the deer hunt of one of the most vile and cruel crimes in russia . the murder of captured azov citizens was deliberately calculated. and let every loss of russia be retribution for her. well, let every occupier, everyone in russia is a murderer, everyone is responsible . for this terror against ukraine and ukrainians, those still alive know that justice wins ukraine win i thank everyone who brings our victory closer eternal memory to each and every one who gave his

life for the sake of ukraine glory to ukraine blackmail of the occupiers, demining and explosions at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, russia is trying to put pressure on kyiv before that, the occupiers are already preparing to attack our energy facilities , how will we respond to the next threats , will this winter be dark and how to prepare for a blackout? what about electricity tariffs for these and other questions were answered by the minister of energy herman galushchenko in an exclusive interview with our journalists elena chernyakova. something that can explode at any minute, as you yourself pointed out in the zss. but there were few explosions , megate experts reported about it. what can you connect them with, referring to your data on the data of experts, flashing on intelligence data, now it is absolutely obvious that there is a certain aggravation in this is blackmail from russia, and i think that it is definitely connected with the development

of a counteroffensive. i think yes, and for sure. they are trying to raise the level of tension very significantly. and the very fact of their presence at the station is a threat to the threat can be realized, well, it's obvious that at any time, these explosions that we were informed about are not related to radiation safety, at the moment there is no information about any radiation accident at the station, but look again, you have to understand that even those inspectors who are there today, there are only four store inspectors who are constantly at the station. and unfortunately, they are not able to get access everywhere, that is , on the entire perimeter or on all objects, so they also receive some limited information, respectively, in this i'm big too the problem is because in fact we are ukraine , i mean we are cut off from, let's say officially, somehow monitoring what is happening there

, that is, we have the only source, the official source, it is the experts of megate, this week another event happened - this is the fourth unit of the zaporizhia nuclear power plant the state of a hot stop, in fact, the station already has two such blocks, there are five more, i remember that as soon as the russians blew up the kakhova hpp, then the ukrainian side appealed and asked to bring this holo to the safest state instead, they didn’t do it to you, why aren’t they being controlled, why are they doing it and well, what does this mean in practice, what is the threat to the station and to the population, the state of hot shutdown for the block is much more dangerous than when the blocks are in a cold state , we appealed and we in principle, we communicated to the international community that such actions are dangerous, but we reacted accordingly from the point of view of our regulator, appropriate changes were made to the license, and accordingly, let's say this from the point of view of common sense and in general

of international law and legislation, they should, er, carry out what there is a license for, but of course, well, what are we talking about, which international law, that is, and in general, what actions, shall we say, on the part of russia, is there compliance with some legislation, that is, the question is that in fact, all the actions they take, they bear full responsibility for them, this is also very important, because it is formal, legally, this is our station, the truth. despite these, let's say , illegitimate decrees that they issue and so on, that is, ukraine is responsible the party is responsible for nuclear traditional security and accordingly, this is our obligation to the world, and therefore it is very important that the reaction of the world to such any actions that violate this obligation, radiation nuclear safety, is

inscribed in the peace formula one aspect of volodymyr zelensky's speech is that the ukrainian side is asking the mission to join the energy facilities so that they can see what russia is doing, how it will help us, and how realistic it is, the president talked about it, and ah. this is important for us in a way. the first is important for us because we understand that the presence of experts there, in particular, at energy facilities , it will give an opportunity to record what is really happening, that is, the consequences of shelling , how it affects the civilian population, how it affects the provision of key services to people, this is one aspect, the second aspect is again, returning to nuclear rehabilitation safety, and i want to say that this formula is already implemented in a certain aspect, because we have permanent missions now, er, megathe missions at all nuclear

power plants of ukraine, and they are at least they observe how we ensure nuclear rotational safety at the stations we control. and secondly, what is key is that they see the impact of attacks on energy on the work of each specific station, the presence of experts in permanent places and megatelno at all stations, this is , shall we say, an element of the implementation of the president's peace formula, well, this is a very important step it remains to join the world so that they pressure russia or at least rob russia for the fact that it occupied one of the largest nuclear plants in europe, because we do not see a reaction in the form of a sanction on seedlings, they are simply not there, we understand that there is a commercial factor there, but still, who can pressure russia to push them out of the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, only the armed forces of ukraine , of course, we believe the armed forces of ukraine, and here it is the issue is not even discussed, but in fact there are opportunities and there are not so many of them in the world to simply unite and really put pressure

on russia, for a simple example, if you signed a contract, two parties, someone does not fulfill what do you do next, you go to court and force party right away, the analogy is simple if the other party, some one party, does not fulfill the obligations reached in the world, those rules exist in the world, that is, further , the first step is this party, it is present in international institutions, let's make it possible we will solve the issue. i will exclude them from international institutions or suspend them until they start acting in legal cases . i suggest that they return to your country, and this is the biggest repair campaign. of nuclear hydroelectric power everywhere, in principle, we also heard that the prime minister set the task of 1.7 gb of capacity before the start of the heating

season . i just don't want to name the numbers, but some of these plans have already been implemented, and the company is really going . how is this? i am often asked when the company's peak, well, the peak started from the beginning and ended . yes, before the heating season, of course. additional things that i well, then i will definitely share what they are adding additional generation, which has never happened in ukraine until now. well, we are doing a lot of things. i am very sure that the symbiosis of all these actions will lead to the fact that we will be able to reliably ensure supply during the heating season very soon, and why it is closer, all the more experts say that this year's winter will be more difficult, the ukrainians are scared, maybe they are not scared, maybe it really will be because the energy system is actually weaker because of the shelling

they had, experts also say that there are not enough funds. there are not enough renovations to renew everything damaged by the russians. what do you say to the people? let's consider the following two scenarios: if the shelling resumes in october, and if there are no more, how will we pass the heating season? see definitely. work under the systems under daily attacks. well, it depends first. from the consequences of shelling. they can also be different, because in many cases it depends on the operation of the air defense system, and we now see in fact that the level of protection of the air defense system is much higher and better than it was previously in in the winter, it is also necessary to calculate it, for some reason the experts keep talking about it and talk about it

time and time again, of course, it is difficult to talk about it or predict the consequences of shelling. will be of a temporary nature, we are in principle quite confident, we are looking. as for the experts , you know. well, i don't know which experts there are , but if you look, i am sure that these are the same people who will tell you, but that in the summer we have there will be blackouts, if you remember a very big campaign about blackouts in the summer, it was the experts who started this topic all the time. there are no outage dolls. that is, all the outages today, what are they, in principle, are the consequences of certain driving conditions and, unfortunately, the weather also does damage , but definitely. this damage is incomparable to the

damage that russian terrorists did last winter, but i will have extra power bank generators , as always, i tell everyone to keep them, let them be, because they all ask questions . buy, keep, let them be. and we do everything so that you don't need them, but let them be. and do you have a generator or some other electric generator? there are generators. there is a question of financing and funds . how much is the lack of maintenance of the energosphere system in general, because we understand now the main priority is the military and everything connected with it, we need to defeat the enemy and how long can we wait and wait for another tariff increase, and from july we will pay a little more . running such a company in general requires funds, and at the same time, well, the financial situation is difficult in the market

, well, this is again also the consequences of russian aggression, and this is , first of all, a significant drop in consumption, and from the drop in industrial consumption, first of all a at the expense of industrial consumption, and in principle, this made it possible to receive appropriate revenues, which is in the sector, first of all, in the generation sector. well, in the same way, in the transmission and distribution of electricity, that's why these are important important things, and today, in principle , we as a government made a number of decisions in particular, the possibility of attracting the 579 program for the financing of the energy industry. secondly, there are certain decisions regarding the market, accordingly, this issue is also an unconditional tariff. they also help, that is, today a whole set of e

solutions that actually help to receive funds that go to refusal from the point of view of waiting for an increase. i don't see such prospects now, but it is definitely very important that you also understand that, for example, the question of even obtaining a credit resource takes time, there are certain banking procedures. they have it is a certain time . in our houses it will definitely be yes thank you thank you we do not know the name of everyone who laid stone upon stone in the walls of the tithe church we do not know if there are hands that imprinted this sign of volodymyr the great the walls of the ukrainian first empire preserved this symbol for us after 900 years
