[000:00:00;00] things in the dnipropetrovsk region, the air defense is already working, the same is addressed to everyone who is in the poltava dnipropetrovsk region . yes, in particular , vinnytsia, cherkasy, zhytomyr, kirovohrad, other regions, the south of the central part, stay in shelter until canceled. actually, the air alarm is the same in kyiv. it seems so we hear the signal of the air alarm so kyiv will also be vigilant, be vigilant, go down to the shelter and take care of your own safety first of all ukraine is ready to fight for a long time and needs to be ready for the fact that at some point we may be left alone with the enemy, this must be understood - said president volodymyr zelensky in an interview with our colleagues from 1+1 at one point or another ukraine may be alone at

one point or another in ukraine some partner may break away due to some internal processes or due to internal politics or even due to elections. anything can happen and that's why we don't need to grow up. we all need to learn to live with it, just learn for a long time. that's how it can be, well, is there a sufficient margin of safety in our ukrainian economy when tetyana goncharova learned from the minister of finance serhiy marchenko serhii marchenko , the minister of finance of ukraine is with me in the studio now, mr. serhiy, i congratulate you on two holidays at once, the day of the state flag and the day of independence today, history has developed in such a way that fighters are literally dying for the flag, and these fighters directly, in particular, depend on

the work of the ministry of finance, and the effectiveness of your work directly and the amount of money that we can allocate today for the war and what our armed forces of ukraine will be defended, what does it depend on thank you, this is really a complex model and the survival of the country depends on the defenders, and therefore of course our role is quite simple . for this year, the amount planned for the budget is more than uah 1.6 million. this is the largest item of the budget that goes to the security and defense sector. this is more than the taxes

we collect. that is why we are now experiencing such in a constant difficult situation, looking for additional sources to finance these necessary expenses. i understand correctly and do i know correctly that these additional sources have not yet been confirmed, marchenko does not have them for the next year, despite the fact that he will soon present the budget for the 20-24th year to you there are no clearly confirmed sources every time you have to prove the need to help us before the imf before the european union before our european donors before the united states of america of course the situation is not certain and no one has anything yet guaranteed, but it was the same last year and this year we will be able to finance all expenses, including the expenses of the defense security sector. next year , we are negotiating with our partners. i

hope that we will be able to provide financing for all our needs and we will be able to convince our partners of the european union and the united states of america and other imf countries that we need this help and that this help is used for its intended purpose in a fairly transparent way and we are ready we will cite for every dollar received aid, what is your hope based on, what is your belief based on the fact that we will be able to report on every dollar of money, this is quite a real matter, but there are no confirmed sources, meanwhile, you are now sure why we are already doing this, we have quite close cooperation with structures from the of the united states of america, we are constantly audited and every dollar of aid

, because it is grant aid and is controlled quite strictly by the united states of america, and we constantly provide all the information for that to demonstrate how this aid is used, so i can say that we understand how to report and understand how to prove to our partners that the funds are used for their intended purpose. will lead our donor , that is, conditionally, the 22nd is the beginning of a full-scale invasion, the 23rd , in particular, counteroffensive actions continue, but the 24th - this will already be the third year of a full-scale invasion , the ministry of finance's argumentation will change, of course it is completely different arguments. last year, we opened a new one for ourselves and for our partners because there was no such scale

of resources, there was no toolkit on how to direct these resources to ukraine. and that is why we talked about a fairly short period of time, we talked in three months, give us three months and we will solve all the issues, uh, objectively , we calculated that every month costs us 5 billion dollars, every month we convinced our partners that it is necessary further. when it was clear that the war would last longer, the arguments were different nature that this is now mandatory - this support is necessary so that there is no economic crisis inside the country . we must maintain macroeconomic stability, we must pay pensions and wages on time, and the country must function in a fairly calm regime while the army is fighting on for a year, we had the same arguments about what we need at this time in order to gather the necessary

resources for the counteroffensive, of course next year there will be the same arguments , because the war is moving into the stage of a war of survival, and you are the one who survives. this marathon is why we need a perspective, we need an understanding of the funds, how we will receive them in the future , and in any case, now is not the time to leave ukraine alone with its problems, so i think that these arguments will be accepted and we will be able to convince our partners to continue supporting ukraine please explain to me this is such an unspoken rule. are these written norms that, in fact, our foreign donors do not give the ministry of finance money to launch a war on weapons directly, that is, they give to support the country to support economic they don't tell you about the processes in the country. here is a specific

type of weaponry, and the country itself then decides how it disposes of these funds, why is it made up like this , that is, the military aid package is a specific weaponry. the main function of any state is to maintain its own army, whoever cannot get an army does not have a state. therefore, this is our main task and no one but us, except the taxpayers of ukraine, except those who buy military bonds and finance in this way, the army cannot be maintained by financing the army. therefore, it is quite logical that we should do it ourselves and look for internal sources of resources for financing the military campaign. one of the internal resources and the main source is our taxes, but you said in one of

interview that at the expense of taxes we fill the budget with one trillion uah 600 billion one trillion 300 and for the security sector we need one trillion 600 billion let's go now i understand that the minister of finance is a person of your education and now he will say that it is a little too much simple question, but we will remind the audience that we have a legal state and we encourage them and stimulate them to pay taxes, where can we find at least the 300 billion in addition, if it is not only about taxes, because security, the army, war need more money than comes from our taxes, so it is and that is why there is another resource with which we finance, i already mentioned it, it is our internal borrowing, we issue military bonds, it is quite expensive for us as the ministry of finance, because

the cost of such bonds is from 18 to 19% per annum taking into account that inflation is already around 11%, in principle this is a pretty good tool for savings, but it is quite expensive for us for the budget and it is a market tool, the market determines the conditions under which they are ready to buy our bonds. we cover this difference precisely at the expense of this i understand the sources, but from time to time bond payments are postponed, and it is also always difficult to do whether or not urgent payments on domestic bonds are made on time and in full , and we are negotiating on our eurobond borrowing is external external borrowing there are commercial creditors there are certain investors who bought our bonds in the previous period of time we are negotiating with them in terms of postponing the payment of interest and the body of the loan placement of the bond did you mean you said about

inflation and i also want to get lost in topic you said that at the beginning of the year there was a forecast for inflation of 20%, but now it is lower, on the one hand, it is good that consumer prices are not growing as fast as predicted, but also the budget is filled less, so please explain whether there are more pluses here or more minuses from the fact that the infectious forecast did not come true , the fact that the forecast did not succeed. trends, it is worth noting, and here , first of all, it is, of course, the work of the national bank of ukraine, the government, but it is quite a positive trend from 26.6 last year, we are now talking about inflation of 12%. this is

quite a significant reduction, and this is what i consider a significant achievement, of course, the budget loses, but we gain more due to stability than due to the loss of conditional incomes, that is, there is still an undoubted plus for consumers uh, now i want to read the latest news , i quote it verbatim uh, the united nations organization together with a partner started an initiative regarding the collection of 268 million dollars to support ukraine. this winter , specifically, one million 300,000 people will receive assistance in the coming months . the state is not paying now because the shelter provides shelter payments to those who have taken in internally displaced persons. the un red cross collects these funds last

year, by the way, they were larger and more diverse organizations. i didn’t pull it out correctly, i understand, is it so in the world and it is arranged that needy people should be dragged by the international community . the ministry of finance to the person of the ministry of reintegration pays all the social policy to internally displaced persons, then any funds that we collect from our non-governmental organizations, those even named your fire, they absolutely do not amount to i think even 10 percent of that amount because i want to remind you that our monthly need is more than 10 to around 10 billion, we will now significantly increase the budget for internally

displaced persons because we are short now let's say in hryvnias, the amount per year will be about 70 billion hryvnias, that is, 7-8 billion hryvnias every month . can provide more help to those who suffer and to those who are not born into this we are of course grateful to them , but massively covering the needs of everyone and ensuring this at a constant level can only be developed through the state budget you will present the budget for next year sometime in the beginning of autumn, can you name the main challenges for you in particular

, have we already talked about the military and the security sector? society and what articles we should pay attention to directly, it may be too early to talk about any final figures, we are currently collecting information from ministries, departments, e-e, there is an understanding of how we will prepare the budget, there is an understanding of our needs, the only thing we can definitely say that our security and defense sector expenditures will not be lower than this year, but they are asking for them to be higher. of course, they are asking for five times higher.

to increase taxes five times, that is, the answer is quite simple, we can afford the budget , the defense security sector, such as we are, we can revise it a little, adjust it, but we now know enough, we hold this sector with quite a lot of efforts by the imf, in particular, we say about the fact that this is our significant filling of the budget, they require the return of fuel taxes, please explain why and how much, in particular , the budget received in july, because we are talking to you in august, so i will ask you about july, for now it is worth waiting for the final estimates, because july is not indicative in terms of of fuel, so the taxes were returned, the prices have not increased significantly , but they are lower than at the beginning of this year, even this is also worth noting, that is , now iryna is balanced, there are no problems. i do not

see our expectation that we can additionally to collect quite significant sums of funds at the expense of the excise tax, july is not indicative, including because they understand that taxes will be increased, market operators actively imported fuel fuel before the increase, this was a logical reaction and we understand this perfectly, mr. serhiy, when periodically you and i with economic experts, we are discussing the issue of returning to pre-war taxation, what effect do you expect, because there are not as many people as there were before the full-scale war in the country, and there are not as many enterprises accordingly, and the effect cannot be the same, we are not so interested in the taxation of individual entrepreneurs, we are interested in fairness

and the rules of the game, because at the beginning of the invasion , decisions were made that allowed large businesses to choose a simplified method of taxation and pay the minimum amount of taxes , minimizing their tax liability therefore, our task was to balance this situation, and we did it, and now the expected income from paying taxes can amount to at least eight billion hryvnias, of course if we are also talking about the return of electronic declaration, this process is important first of all from the political point of view, is it also about finances, well, this is such a requirement that is on the part of any of our partners, all partners working with ukraine

have declared. this is one of the key conditions of this in the memorandum with the international monetary fund , the conditions for receiving macro-financial assistance are also fixed, and the conditions for our european perspective are also fixed. therefore, it is a logical question to do it in the way that we are now we can afford it, that is, it is protected enough to make it convenient enough so that there are no punishments for minor mistakes that may occur, but society, i think, should know and understand how much money the key bureaucrats of the state , officials of the ministry, first of all, receive in the political report and then the economic effect

is directly for the state . quite a logical step that will allow us to show that even despite the war, we can carry out those processes that are characteristic of countries in peacetime, that the united states is our main foreign donor, so i continue to conduct a lecture for our viewers with the imf memorandum, which is exactly what we have because recently there was media news that the relevant law has been amended and the imf has not been informed about it. what beacons do we count on now and how are we moving in the direction

of implementing what the imf expects from us? i would i preferred to wait until the next mission. i hope that it will be in october , the imf mission, and then it will be an assessment of ukraine's capacity , an assessment of the implementation of structural beacons , now is the time to pull up the tails, as they say , adopt the necessary laws, adopt the necessary regulatory and legal ones. oh, to be ready for quite complex negotiations negotiations with the imf are always difficult they are absolutely emotionless there are absolutely no feelings there are quite pragmatic questions fulfilled plus not fulfilled minus i am closely following your interview and the last question which i will put it on these two important

days for ukraine , after all, on these days. if we talk about your dreams as the minister of finance, you dream of rebuilding ukraine, understanding whether it is a costly process. to ukraine because the budget does not comply with two billion dollars. that is, you are always talking about money or about people, about the return of you or about the reconstruction here and the return of houses to the people who stayed here, or about everything at once, well, the role of the finance minister is such that we must understand all the processes that are taking place and in each of my wishes there is an understanding of why i am saying this, of course, this is a normal motivation to return people to ukraine, but it should be primarily their desire. i believe that those citizens who are currently abroad are

gaining the necessary experience and knowledge they understand the rules of the game, they understand how european legislation works, they understand how democratic institutions work, how ruloflo works, how the protection of private property works. they have to form the necessary contacts. they gain the necessary experience and will already return to ukraine as a gain. that is, it will be the gain that we would like to have, because i think this is the thesis that is worth fighting for - it is for the citizens of ukraine to want to live in ukraine, and the reconstruction must also contribute to the fact that the state must create the conditions

for which it will be a logical choice, the war naturally raised many security questions and therefore these are forced decisions . ukraine for myself and for my children. thank you for this conversation. once again, you are on the day of the national flag and taught all our people independence with it . serhiy marchenko, minister of finance of ukraine, was in the studio of the tv channel. i am glad for the national marathon. the only news . strengthen the borders of ukraine with drones. the news marathon is working for you, the tv channel team is glad to keep our hand on the remote control and summarize the main points for you together we are the only news in the center of events thursday 54 on the clock

news time on the air of the general national the only news of the 24-hour marathon is together. my name is andrii sinitsyn. congratulations. so we are starting. the air alert has now been announced in most regions of our country. you can see which areas are now turning red. where are they ? the alarm has already sounded, and in those places where it has not yet sounded , please stay in shelters until the alert or use the rule of two walls, i will remind you that before that the air force warned about the missile danger and about the probable launch of cruise missiles from the black sea, the enemy fired at kherson oblast the night before reached the burgundy of the tyagin community, a 71-year-old woman who was in the yard of her own house was injured, the victim is currently in the hospital, more than two dozen shellings were carried out by the russians and during the past day in sumy oblast , the regional military administration reported about it, more than 170

explosions were recorded in the border territories of khotynsk druzhbivska esman and middenobud communities suffered the most in sumy oblast as a result of explosions , private households were damaged there, weapons and equipment for our military training infrastructure for new aircraft, as well as diplomatic steps , all to strengthen the position of our soldiers, we should expect such a decision in the near future , president volodymyr zelenskyy emphasized this in his address last week. further strengthen our soldiers in the military command more actively prepare the infrastructure for new ukrainian aircraft as a diplomat more actively promote in communication

and with partners everything that is needed by our soldiers, veterans with disabilities in the poltava region undergo rehabilitation together with their families, the first 15 families of defenders have already taken advantage of this opportunity of the pilot project of social recovery. and on ruzhyn , the topic will continue. ruslan and alina kharchenko underwent rehabilitation together in a sanatorium . ruslan is a lieutenant colonel in the reserve and already a war veteran served in the airborne in the assault troops took an active part in the defense of the country since the time of the anti-terrorist operation, during a full-scale invasion, he received a shrapnel wound in the head, so he already joined the army he will not be able to return as soon as he found out that there is an opportunity to undergo a course of treatment together with his relatives, my family made the decision right away, this is my whole opportunity to rest again - you can say to get to know each other again after such a separation, for example, as we have after the great

uh, like everyone, probably in their own way, we have such a stage in our life that uh, there is time and a chance to rethink what happened. until what awaits us in the future, la rysa is pleased that we were given such an opportunity to be together because like him he said that since june, he had gone and never been. neither on vacation nor due to family circumstances, we have not seen each other for a long time, of course , this is a good project because he is getting closer and restoring the family. it is very good to be together with my husband and children, if we were together larisa's husband, ruslan, does not like to remember what happened at the front, and during rehabilitation there was not even time for such memories, aromatherapy, massage, swimming pool , and everything under the close supervision of specialists, first the therapist means, then they appoint after

the therapist, whether you need a neurologist or a psychiatrist, they don’t mean additional baths there anymore, well, since this project is only the first one, and they are still studying in this plan and they only have 7 days of treatment, the rehabilitation program is financed by the funds of the regional budget and the community that concluded a memorandum in poltava oblast it has already worked in the format of a pilot project in four communities of the poltava region. the program has been adopted. they have two stages: the first is rehabilitation in rehabilitation resorts, and the second is the further support of these families already in the authorities local self-government defenders, veterans and members of their families can come for rehabilitation in one of the sanatoriums of the poltava region, specialists work with them there and provide various services , including psychological adaptation, integration and socialization, and all this free of charge minister

of social policy oksana zholnovich visited the veterans and checked under what conditions the organized process of meditation , the official believes that the program should be scaled up and developed in all regions of the country. god forbid, there is no leg or some other injury. everyone understands that it must be treated, but far from everyone understands that it is also necessary to support and restore the psychological state, emotional state, mental state, family state, these things are also destroyed, we do not see them, but these injuries, these destructions are in some places even deeper and greater than physical destruction and with patients here worked in groups and individually used various new technologies and equipment during the week of rehabilitation families learned self-regulation skills now they understand what stress, injury and how to react to it at the moment, when

they come to us, we are interested in their
