[000:00:00;00] pasu mr. ihor i congratulate you i congratulate you thank you dear for joining us for finding time, there is something to talk about, let's start with the statements of andriy duda of the washington post edition, he says about the lack of weapons in ukraine to change the situation on the battlefield, here is this statement from your point of view it should be interpreted as possible, after all, this is a message to ukraine's partners. even more help, because poland is an influential politician in europe, and we know how much it defends and advocates the interests of ukraine in the context of the large-scale russian-ukrainian war. poland and its countries the baltic states, first of all, feel the hot breath of the war that is happening in ukraine, well, they help me a lot. i am grateful for this. the supply of weapons from allied countries gives a lot of useful things to ensure our actions with the e-e also goes through these countries and, in addition,

through the borders of belarus the relevant person understands this, not only the president of poland and the heads of the baltic states, but also putin, and he wants to organize such an operation under a foreign flag, that is, to push belarus. the relationship is formally presented by the russians to the state , although putin admitted that it was financed by what kind. thus, it was wagnerov, and the troops of belarus.

in fact, there was a time of war and the armed forces of the european countries strengthened, they help us, thank you, and also strengthen the potential of their armed forces, therefore, with them , in general, with the alliance, he does not want to, he cannot, he would like to, but there is no possibility, and that is why the force is already there enough to provoke both the poles , some baltic countries and the armed forces of ukraine . they really know the situation, and that is why it is definitely related to supporting ukraine, first of all, in order to

fulfill the task in the east of our country in the strategic defense operation and stop the advance of a hundred thousand enemy group and also to gather more potential forces to the rural conditions in the south of our country. and how many advantages does the enemy have in rocket launchers, guard aircraft, ammunition as a manpower in all conditions, we have been conducting offensive actions in the melitopol and berdyan directions for the third month, mr. igor, let's stop more contextually, precisely in the kupyan direction, it is from the latest summary of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine that it is said that in this direction russian forces conducted without successful offensive actions in the area of ​​nadiya and south

of novoselivsk, luhansk region, and other populated areas are also heavily shelled . the direction will be the main one at the moment. can we talk about the fact that the peak - the toughest battles are ahead and the difficult situation that has been observed in the last few days, in particular in the last weeks - it is not yet the top, i think so, i think that the enemy formed three groups after a few weeks of 100 in this group of this group, they advanced not much, but for several kilometers in different directions, and that is why they concentrated their forces the most in the kupyan region i would like to point out that this region is the closest to the borders of the russian federation, that is, the logistics that

provide these actions are the smallest in terms of distance, and therefore can have greater potential and support for combat operations division of the units of the russian federation, taking into account everything, the enemy plans to activate it further, if it were, to start the second stage of the advance of offensive actions in this direction, therefore, our forces are concentrated there , accordingly, with equal reserves, and they are acting in order to give a worthy repulse to the enemy. please tell me if we are talking about kupyansk itself, i will try to formulate the question correctly, whether the ukrainian forces have enough personnel and weapons to hold the city, because the russian forces concentrated a huge number of troops there yesterday

on our broadcast, experts talked about the fact that if you analyze in particular all the directions that are currently on the front line and where the russian force did not have an advantage in the number of people and so on , then in fact they have now, well, very seriously, directed a military group from these storm-zet detachments and so on, that is, how high are the risks that the situation will be difficult and does ukraine have anyone to hold back the city itself and this direction, the risks are definitely great, this is a war of forces, never and nowhere and no one is enough during the war, but what we have focused there and how the planned e-e defense operation has for the defense forces of ukraine has corresponding prospects for the protection of e-e object in that this is currently the most difficult one more question that i would like to ask you from about the actual russian forces and the reserve that they have, because every time there are many

experts and the ukrainian general staff denies that there is a large amount of equipment there, every day the ukrainians report to the general staff about the number of russian soldiers who or were wounded on the territory of ukraine during a large-scale war or died altogether, but besides that, russia constantly has reserves from somewhere and tries to pull them up . if about the kupyan direction, what do you think, if the situation here for the russian forces will be difficult in the near future, where will they get them from throw more reserves into manpower in technology, it is possible to involve aviation . after all, if they do it, then other directions will be more and many times more threatening for them, it must be remembered that the russian at the moment, the federation is a large resource state and quite powerful in the military sense, and if it concerns the manpower of the citizens , it exceeds four of us, so they are recruiting, there are

difficulties, they use reserves, but they find those at all levels and transfer them to the front. even on those directions in which we marched in melitopol, berdyanske, they found , realizing the danger for themselves , they threw the appropriate reserves into these directions and under the bakmutni, speaking of the east , that is, our way is not so much counted as them you need to know their reserves in order to correctly plan the attack and combat operations, since you will receive modern weapons from your anti-aircraft missile system from our allies, which will allow you to destroy the enemy and the armed equipment of manpower and thus be able to at least hover, including manpower, that is, how many if they didn't supply

us, then we would have opportunities to destroy it, the advantages of our troops, the strength of the defense is that we have more modern, more accurate artillery, for example, and the makiaka has a longer range. maybe there is a slight reason that we still don't have such a thing, but for example, for artillery systems, we have a room for it and aviation bombers stormed us, there is no such potential, because the 4 + generation basic aircraft has not yet been provided to nato, but from what we have, we are more economical, accurate and sophisticated and effective, we use weapons, including ammunition, of which the enemy has quite a lot, and we have a limited amount, but such advantages, plus, first of all, the professionalism of our military, e-e, motivated, i

emphasize this, enable us to fight the enemies, perform their combat tasks in relation to of defense regarding the offensive. and one more question, it will again relate to statements from the united states of america, there is the ministry of defense of the united states, and it records the advance of the armed forces of ukraine during counteroffensive actions, but says that it will be a difficult and long battle. we are used to understanding that it all depends on what will be the supply of western weapons. for example, to ukraine, to what extent will the russian federation still be able to mobilize the military. there are other factors that affect how difficult and long this struggle will be counteroffensive, in particular in the south of ukraine, where according to reports, the ukrainian army has already entered the first line of defense, but it is not known how events will develop further, but what factors influence how long these counteroffensive actions can last for the time being, the most important factor is

that our allies well, we the enterprises of the military-industrial complex themselves definitely know our needs and to the maximum of clearing the reserves and we need to increase the efficiency of our genetic-industrial complex, we carry out supplies to the forces of the defense of ukraine, and for the allies, the requests that we make are important, that is, not at all the prospects , but the nearest time, shells, artillery, means of anti-aircraft defense, and missiles, ebudarnoe , unmanned aerial vehicles, that is, not only the immediate needs that we formulated, but also the time for supplies, because, for example, there were agreed deliveries for the spring as well. not saying that we asked for it last autumn, but then these deliveries have not been implemented in full

. then using tanks and if you are talking about it, i have cars, keeping our infantry advancing in all the corridors that must first be demined to inflict damage and then enter these reserves, taking into account unfortunately for such circumstances, we were forced to postpone the start of available offensive actions in the spring in the south at the beginning of summer and the summer is already ending, and the volume of supplies forced by senior allies has not yet been fulfilled in full, therefore we are accumulating the necessary amount of these needs of ours for applying

damage and armored vehicles and said to the commander, the general staff takes the appropriate decision regarding the start of damage and the introduction of these reserves, which we still maintain despite a rather difficult situation, that is, i believe that somewhere before the end of august, the beginning of september is important - this is the time for making very difficult decisions military decisions for our military-political leadership regarding further offensive actions as well as defensive actions in the east . broadcast, we talked about the situation at the front, and it is always difficult to predict events there, but still, expert analysis helps to understand what the situation is, another important topic . how many ukrainian children was deported by russia , what opportunities does the official kyiv have to return them ? - the prime minister of ukraine , the minister of reintegration of the temporarily occupied territories iryna vyraschuk next i suggest you watch a fragment of this exclusive interview with radio svoboda, its

full version is available on the youtube channel of the radio freedom, the information of which was made public by the russian side the other day, there is also a commissioner for the rights of the child , mariya lvova milova, said that since the beginning of the full-scale operation, we are sure that 700,000 ukrainian children have been taken to russia. it was illegally exported to the russian federation , no complete data is available because there are temporarily occupied territories there, it is very difficult to collect information, international organizations go there too are not allowed and that's why we collect information about our children like a grain of mustard seed, i'm not sure about seven hundred thousand, but definitely more than the information we distribute, almost 20,000. so we know that these are children who are separated from their parents. are they orphans according to what we know for example, we know about 4,000 approximately 4,000 children with

the status that is, children deprived of parental care, orphaned children, what is happening to them in general, where you are not with me and the information about them by force, and they change their identity every day, we do not know benefit, because the children grow, the children come of age, and then it will be more and more difficult for us to return her exactly , and how many children have i managed to return, in general, this process takes place. the process is established. do you cooperate with each other ? do we cooperate in our own way ? we have a coordination council at the office of the president. perhaps you know that there is a coordination headquarters that i head at the level of the cabinet of ministers, for example, our headquarters meets every friday where we consider the issue of both individual return and group return, for example there were

orphanages and boarding schools that were also taken out and we exchange information. we have a center. international partners, this is basically a coordinated mechanism, and i thank the volunteers who are on the other side looking for our children and returning them at least to the border. thank you to our public organizations that are already here well, of course, they support all the coordinating bodies. yes, this is the ministry of social policy and others. and about the numbers, how many children have already been returned? well, somewhere around 380 or 380 three children have been returned on the scale of the number that was announced, or 20,000, which is even more than a thousand, which is not very small, that is why we and we often appeal to the international community and demand that urgent measures be taken to return, in particular, orphaned children, because if the child 's parent's mother or father has the right to go

and bring the child alone, what do our woman, you know what our women do. and if a child is an orphan, the state bears full responsibility, and we demand that russia first hand over the lists of such children, if they are called rescue and called evacuation, then we demand the return of such evacuation of children. we will provide everyone with guardians, we have full formal escort, the guardians will go to the territory of the russian federation or to the territory of a third country, we said that any mechanism is acceptable, but it is not acceptable to install our children , it is unacceptable to give our children to illegal guardianship, because then those adoptive parents from among the citizens of the russian federation will also bear legal responsibility. and if there are 380 children, how many of them have been returned by the ministry? we are involved here somewhere. it is impossible to decide whether it is us or others. yes, someone else succeeds in this case. otherwise, it’s all really great work and i

thank everyone very much, you can’t say that it’s only the ministry. no, it’s not true, by the way , lviva bilova herself also states that these children mostly left for russia accompanied by their parents or other relatives, and we know that at the beginning of the war, when the majority of people fled there, the west was blamed for going abroad, some ukrainians , ukrainian citizens went to the east to russia. i am not talking about those who were not deported to russia much, but those who did it voluntarily do you know how many such people left? no, because they don’t report it, but you are the right people, for the most part, if they went to russia, i will now say about the border areas , they still fled from the war. i always cite this example from kharkiv oblast when it came up questions regarding the fact that the parents gave permission for the so-called rehabilitation of their children in those teddy bears and other camps where ukrainian children were, i remind you again and again that the parents really had no

choice because at that time no humanitarian corridor was working and russia - and to other equally important topics, the united states offers to allocate additional financial aid to ukraine, a request for 40 billion joseph biden plans to submit to the congress of ukraine. elimination of the consequences of natural disasters and for defense, these funds will not be limited by the limits of the american budget , reuters reports that president joe biden is sending a request to congress for about 40 billion dollars in additional spending, including 24 billion dollars for ukraine and other international needs related to the war 4 billion dollars for border security and $12 billion for aid to victims of natural disasters , bloomberg notes that this may lead to a confrontation with republicans who do not want

to provide further financial support to kyiv and almost 100 rubles to the dollar, the russian ruble has reached its maximum fall in the last 16 months, the country's contraband left the market after reaching the mark of 98 rubles to one dollar, and the employees of the russian state employees of the russian state media, volodymyr solovyov, after hearing this information, demands explanations from the russian deputies to me vopros by which state deputy, i think it's a member of the federation, tell me please. do you not notice what time we have a course in the country ? people came to explain publicly. please, what's going on? i, and in an official explanation, the bank of russia announced that it would stop buying foreign currency on the domestic market until the end of the year, explaining it by the fact that in this way they support the ruble, because the national currency of the russian federation fell on the moscow stock exchange on august 9 to almost 100 rubles to

the dollar, which is the weakest indicator in the last 16 months and which was observed in the first month of russia's large-scale invasion of ukraine this year, the russian ruble is weak about 24% against the dollar which puts it in the top three worst emerging market currencies along with the turkish lira and the argentine peso this was previously noted by bloomberg a member of the economic discussion club is already with us on the air i welcome you and here too congratulations sir yours thank you for taking the time, but in your opinion, what is the reason for such a weak exchange rate of the russian ruble, it is sanctions due to a large-scale war, the large-scale war itself is not a professional decision of the russian central bank. additional aspects, well, the best answer is - this is a cube, which is the foreign exchange market - this is a normal market that exists according to the rules of the ratio of demand and supply, that is

, you have some demand for this or that product and there is an offer of this product. well, on the foreign exchange market, the product is the freely convertible currency of dollars and euros, that is, there is something that brings ukraine currency and there is an internal demand for this currency in order to finance imports in order to ensure deposits of the population , that is, this is approximately how the formation looks like any market, and now let's see what is being done in the russian federation, now the main currency inflows into the country have always been due to the sale of energy carriers , well, there is even such a term and oil, dollars , yes, indeed, 30% of the revenues of the russian budget have always been formed due to the sale of oil a now let's see how the sale of oil and the russian federation is now 80%,

er, of what the russian federation sells for oil, it buys two countries, india, china, and india , in general, have increased 11 times over the last half a year, the total volume of purchases of e-e oil in the russian federation is calculated by what india, china, india, china are calculated in yuan and rupees, not dollars, that is , at the moment, practically the main main source of e-e receipts freely enveloped for departures to the russian federation has turned into the formation of e-e reserves from currencies non -freely convertible currencies with limited convertibility that are rigidly tied to one or another country, it is necessary to understand that the main import, including the first, to a certain extent, shadow import they buy e-e in iran the russian federation is just the last thing what the russian federation is trying to establish, including

computer equipment, including household appliances from third countries all this must be settled in freely convertible currency , therefore the first reason is the biggest, the most important thing is that it has sharply decreased the arrival of a free convertible currency in the country, what actually provoked such an extremely high growth. and why did this happen? this is indeed the sanctioning restrictions of the main financial flows to the currencies of the countries of the second level of the convertible currency is not only from energy sources, let's remember that quite a lot of items of russian e-e export came under sanctions restrictions, actually all this led to the fact that the e-e supply inside the country decreased in order to somehow balance this situation , the russian federation is forced to sell half every month tons of gold through

swiss banks, but this also does not save the situation because it collapses the gold market a little and as a result we see that the russian ruble rate is quite serious what is the consequence of this? why are we constantly talking about this for two seconds? now we need to continue. we just need to remind the viewers who are watching us throughout the country that an air alert has been announced. this is important, so when you hear about us , please go to the shelter and write to us in the comments . what is the situation in your city or village where you are located, is everything calm, and we will continue to talk about the consequences that this can have, and coming to the consequences, i just wanted to formulate the question in a different way. economics is familiar with such a concept as psychological pressure, that is, when a certain limit is exceeded. for example, the course is society, business, but they react to it more like this, you know, with alarm, they understand that something is wrong, but in this case, it is already the

psychological limit in russia are there still problems with this? well, look, the russians have already passed through 100 hryvnias, that's through 100 rubles for uh, russia already has the american dollar, there was such a situation that you remember when the parishioner started his uh, fake coup . -e in the exchangers, the russians lined up huge queues and they bought a dollar at 115-120 rubles . but it was an unofficial rate, it was what was formed against the background of hyped demand . at the moment, there has not been a situation in which the official rate has actually been translated into a basket for the euro, so for the dollar, now we have 97 z by the tail, why is it so important , i repeat why we talk about this course all the time, the problem is a large volume of products, primarily long-term

use, household chemicals, household appliances, including clothes, in short, enough a large segment of the domestic russian market is formed at the expense of imports, something falls under the restrictions, something does not fall under the restrictions, wherever it falls under the restrictions, there is gray import, which forms an even higher price, and as a result, we have the following m-m the following situation when receiving a salary in russian rubles, er, a russian citizen, going to the store, is forced to buy long-term dry goods based on the exchange rate , because all this is imported, all this is converted into rubles, and as a result, we have a situation there is enough of a large rise in prices, what is called inflation, when we talk to you about the broadcast, we must understand

the following: there are certain nominal incomes that russians receive during the calendar month, there is a conditional rise in prices, if this conditional rise in prices despite what zrostak says in real reality you are ahead of your nominal incomes include your real incomes you start to live worse what is it actually we still have literally 40 seconds to finish one short question about the economy with the ruble exchange rate in russia so spend the poem but look at today's moment absolutely nothing changes in the sanctions policy for today's moment absolutely nothing changes nothing changes in the energy sales market, that is , the total volume of currency will flow into the country less and less, therefore i think that the dynamics of the fall of the russian ruble will continue and the central bank, whatever the policy introduced , it will not be possible to radically change this situation if you do not have

currency reserves, if they are all arrested in civilized countries and you do not have currency in the country. well, what will they be print dollars on your machines, well, it doesn’t happen either, that is, it will only get worse in the future. thank you, i thank you for joining in and professionally explaining to us what is happening with russian problems. important. i remind you that the guest of our broadcast was oleg penzin - he is a member of the economic discussion club . there is an air alert throughout the country . it has been announced in the comments. write what the situation is in your region where you are. we thank you for being with us. today we will meet with you from monday the whole team from the freedom project wishes you a safe weekend as much as possible and we will definitely meet, also subscribe to
