[000:00:00;00] not very well, well done. everyone has 10 days of vacation. this war worked out very effectively. well, i myself am impressed. i am satisfied with the work, even though every day works as if it were everyday work. it has already been done really well. i think everyone felt it. it turned out that it flew to a place where i was not expected. it detonated 6 detonations in general. cool we have a cool fight to the end one camera lviv we cover the infantry and work according to their art tasks are quite different as well as their warehouses somewhere some places of accumulation of equipment everything depends

on what our scouts found in the hot stage, it is clear that first of all the infantry support vodyane is at the end of donetsk, beyond krasnohorivka, that direction is the hottest areas, so if they calculate the jet hailstorms, this is a priority target for them, and you, they begin to pursue them, and then all the means they have are artillery for example, here the cover can come back to us, the team was rolled over, when we are killing, we are still giving

salt or coordination for six months, and maybe more, the positions they occupied, they did not advance here, not a tent, there is an attack from on our side, of course, we will train the artillerymen first. listen, then the tanks will go, uh, the infantry attack aircraft, and also our position. and about which she constantly asks is the topic of what is really happening with the head of chechnya and mr. kadyrov, at the moment there is not much confirmed information, so this is the topic that we are investigating and when we have more data we will be ready

. has been in moscow since the beginning of september, that is, for at least the last three days, he has been in moscow. i will only remind you that various telegram channels, without referring to confirmed data, write about the fact that, in particular , the opposition chechen telegram channels, that he allegedly fell into a coma the day before on kadyrov's official tv channel, a video appeared of him, presumably from a run, where he says that it is necessary to be able to distinguish truth from lies, this topic is really interesting, we also monitor it, and in general , ukrainian journalists monitor those because only radio svoboda will be ready to tell you more about it. we will definitely tell you about it. the project is about an important veteran and don't miss further broadcasts. why these countries went their own way despite the agreed position of the european commission, the hearing in the case of ukraine against russia regarding the convention on genocide begins today in the hague , how important is this process, and why

will affect the decisions made there, we will ask live my colleagues who are following this event, do not forget to like this broadcast if you like it, the largest expenditure on the army for the third year of the full-scale invasion , more money to the ministry of finance, the ministry of social policy and the ministry of veterans for social benefits , but three times less budget for the ministry of infrastructure and state restoration of mustafa , the journalists of the edition of our money analyzed the project of the state budget of ukraine for 2024, they received a comparative analysis of the budget for this year and the project for the next journalist yuriy nikolov, who follows corruption questions, came to the conclusion that the money that was pledged for the work of these two ministries is enough for the maintenance of roads, but there is no mention of any repairs of similarly destroyed roads or bridges , just as the construction of anti-missile defense will not fit electric substations - says nikolov , if in the current year the ministry of infrastructure received more than 54 billion uah, then in the next year it will live on 12.5 billion a for

the state agency for reconstruction and development 26 billion were provided for ukraine, while this year it was 64 billion. at the same time, the journal noticed that the expenses of other ministries are increasing, for example, the ministry of finance , the ministry of social policy and the ministry of veterans, the government wants to give uah 182 billion more compared to this year, and the ministry also receives more money economy, the ministry of digital transformation and the ministry of strategic industries of ukraine additional view for uah 79 billion, i note that the draft budget for next year was approved by the government last week the document has already been submitted to the parliament during the voting process, deputies can still change these amounts and accordingly change the lines of the budget as a whole and its draft prime minister of ukraine denys shmyhal says that the main focus of the state budget draft for the 24th year is the financing of all the needs of the defense forces funds will be provided in the reserve budget for projects of rapid restoration, i.e. critical infrastructure of roads and bridges, which are important for humanitarian or military purposes

, says prime minister yuriy nikola to the editor website, our money and oleg penzen, executive director of the economic discussion club, join our broadcast. i welcome you. the topic of the budget as a whole is always very difficult to discuss because it is a lot of numbers, a lot of expenses , but still, let's try to briefly analyze mr. yuri, the first question for you will be comparing your own the data you received regarding this year's budget, what surprised you the most and how fair and balanced this project is from your point of view. of the military from local budgets to kyiv, i.e. as far as i understand, this money is the basis of what is added to the provision of defense capability according to my instructions .

that money for reconstruction well, for repairs of critical infrastructure, that's all we have now well , oleksandr kobrakov, the minister of infrastructure, should operate unhindered , and now if they will be, it will be in the reserve budget, and the reserve budget and that's it anyway not a direct fiefdom. let's say the minister. now he will have to go to the government in addition to the ministry of finance and beg for any project, that is, the democratic component increases. let's say that other players from the government and the office have opportunities the president controls these ceilings and let's say this well, i think that the hardware weight of the minister himself visited in these circumstances was sharply reduced by yurii that is, politics is a big presence, including a lot of it, well conditionally there by the ministry that is more we give more to those with ours. which ministry do you have? please, as you said, we will have to go to bows and so on. well, let's say yes. almost everyone here is given more than 100 years

. that is, in general , there are no such disadvantages as the ministry of infrastructure, state reconstruction, in general, that is, everyone the expenses of two er authorities are reduced by three times, that is, they will probably be stitched up somewhere else, but no other ministry has received such negatives , so here let’s put it this way, it seems to me more like a personal attitude to one er to one teams, namely to the kubrakovo team from the office of the president, mr. olezhe, taking into account the situation in the country, which is waging a full-scale war for the second year, the budget proposed by the government for consideration by the parliament is being defended. and we understand that during that time and in the first and in the second reading , changes will be made, amendments will be made, and so on, to what extent is this budget? well, i would like to say that it is balanced, they understood that it can be balanced, because accordingly, those revenues that will be many times smaller than those

expenses that should be, but still, how much is this a normal budget for a country that is waging a full-scale war that is defending itself? of the general fund of the state budget, this is the reserve fund of the general fund, that is, it is in the general fund of the state budget, general large baskets, and there is a special special fund, which is separate , which is used exclusively in certain directions, and it is definitely an emergency the restoration that you and i are talking about will probably come from the reserve fund , there is a certain procedure for it, there is a law on the reserve fund of the state budget. that is, there are specific procedures for using these funds, and the actual answer to your question is the following in order to understand the balance. well first of all, look at the income and expenditure part when you and i say that the expenses for the next year are trillions of 100 billion

plus or minus, and the income is 1.6 million plus somewhere around 200 billion from the special fund, that is, we we have to understand that the difference is 1,3,5 hours, four trillion to borrow is what should be received in the form of macro-financial assistance well, i 'm sorry, we can't talk about any balance , in principle, because macro-financial assistance is a category that does not depend directly from the activity of the ukrainian economy, now there is one more point that must be mentioned when we talk about macro-financial assistance, this year we were given 18 billion euros from the european union for next year and until the 27th 50 billion euros were promised to us this year, but

according to the information that i have pre-agreed for next year, only 9 billion euros of these amounts, which are planned until the 27th year , we are catastrophically short of it , i understand that we will definitely look for opportunities to increase this funding, but for now 9 billion. we expect 12-12 and a half billion from the americans, but there are also problems there, there are problems related to the fact that there are elections in november, and i understand that somewhere from the middle of the summer , priorities will begin to change there, and this will be a little also certain difficulties the international monetary fund, as a rule, gives us exactly as much money as we need in order to service its own debt, unfortunately, this also has a certain problem and maybe next year there will be more but uh, this is also a question for us for next year for in order to pass it normally, somewhere between 37-38 and 40 billion dollars are still in direct agreement between ukraine and, well, with our

partners as sovereign countries, including japan , canada, and germany, france. m well are not always clear in the future, by the way, when you and i talk about the state budget that was submitted to the verkhovna rada, by the way, please note that before the adoption of this budget, they are very public financiers actively came from our partners, there was the finance minister of great britain, dignitaries came from south korea, that is , in reality, these are also ways to form the amount of macro-financial assistance that is needed. by the way, i repeat once again should not be confused with macro-financial military and technical assistance, these are different things, financial assistance cannot be used

for war. that is, it is a direct er, let's say agreement and a direct er position of our partners, because we have to spend a year on the war. well, about 1.6 million hryvnias, that is everything that we collect in the form of taxes and fees will go to the war eh , that's why it is undeniable it clearly refers to y-y issues related to the increase in financial resources of this direction, especially the minister of technology, who will receive up to 100 billion hryvnias this year and the next year in addition to financing the production of weapons, that is , in my opinion. when we look at any

budget, we must start with we definitely do these things, and there is one more point that i'm sorry to say. these are the macro indicators that are included in the state budget. 41.4 is the hryvnia exchange rate. well, i think this is slightly realistic. i think the hryvnia exchange rate will be lower, well, the dollar will be stronger. weaker, but as a way to inflate the expenditure part of the state budget, yes. this is a tradition for the ministry of finance to use the pretext of the relationship and exchange rate of the hryvnia to the dollar . it must be said that earlier forecasts did not come true . the hryvnia was always stronger than it . i will have one more question for you at the end. from local budgets . in your opinion, is politics present here? is it still a justified step to replenish the state coffers, because previously representatives of local authorities there said that there is pressure on local self-governance would be from kyiv and so on. how do you evaluate this step? well, here it is fair and equal, that's what i

call it , so we tendered. we've been talking about it for six months now, it's public, guys. if you spend on stadiums instead of drones, if you build roads to resorts there, if you spend hundreds of millions on projects that, well , i don't even know, even an owl on the globe, if you get angry, than this not for military ukraine be surprised if you have it just later. well, what is kyiv? well, the central government, of course, took advantage of this moment, because it has been known for a long time that the office of the current president prefers centralization to decentralization, so it turned out that the decision to it is essentially fair, but on the other

hand , we have the fact that the cash register is now being shifted from local bodies to the capital . what found an opportunity and time yurii nikola, editor of the website our money and oleg penzen , executive director of the economic discussion club. genocide ukraine appealed to the un international court of justice at the beginning of the full-scale invasion with a complaint that distorts the interpretation of the genocide convention, we will learn more from our colleague olena abramovich, she is live with us already on the connection from the hague. i congratulate olena, what is the essence of this lawsuit? congratulations, colleagues. congratulations, colleagues . ukraine filed this lawsuit on the third day of the full-scale invasion on february 26, and the reason for this was that russian president

putin, announcing his so-called a special military operation said that genocide was committed in ukraine 8 years ago. the fact is that both russia and ukraine are signatories of the convention on the prevention of genocide, which requires the restraint of persians and the prevention of genocide and karate for its commission, so kyiv appealed to gaga insists that moscow is excessively using force and that there was no genocide against the population of donbas in ukraine, and the court then urgently considered the complaint less than three weeks later and issued a preventive measure requiring russia to stop all hostilities on the territory of ukraine and moscow then she traditionally objected and submitted her so-called preliminary objections to the jurisdiction of the court, insisting that an international court does not have the authority to consider this case

, and russian lawyers insisted that the convention on the prevention of genocide does not regulate the issue of the use of force between two states, i understand that in this case ukraine does not accuse russia of the fact that russia is not a genocide, but rather tries to prove that kyiv did not commit genocide in donbas and what can be expected from these hearings. the fact that many international legal associations are now engaged in the analysis of russia's crimes in ukraine for signs of genocide, specifically, this lawsuit does not concern russia's accusations of genocide, although , of course, at the stage of when ukraine will report about the excessive use of force by russia and the misinterpretation of this very convention, then it may come to the point that crimes that can be qualified as genocide will be demonstrated as examples. genocide case, all the details explained exactly what this lawsuit is about

. the european commission called on poland, hungary and slovakia to be constructive in the issue of ukrainian grain. the reuters agency, citing the bride of this institution, made such a call to the european commission after poland, hungary and slovakia banned the import of ukrainian grain into their territory, despite the fact that the european commission itself canceled this ban on friday, then i will note that after multilateral negotiations in the european union, they decided that restrictions regarding the import of ukrainian grain into the eu, they gave their results, and canceling the ban obliged kyiv to introduce measures to control the export of four groups of goods in order to prevent changes in the market in neighboring countries the eu says in a message on the website of the european commission that the import of ukrainian grain into the european union is prohibited. the european commission, i would like to remind you, introduced it on may 2 this year. and the export of ukrainian grain will be one of the main topics of the meeting between volodymyr zelenskyi and andriy duda. the presidents of ukraine and poland

will meet this week in new york. about this the polish president announced and immediately noted that he will defend the interests of poland in the issue of grain. volodymyr zelenskyi should be in the united states of america this week, he will take part in to the general assembly of the united nations organization, that more than a month ago bloomberg reported that zelenskyy would present his formula for peace there. the un assembly starts tomorrow in new york and will last until the end of the week . russian foreign minister sergey lavrov and the president will also participate. of the united states job biden, his speech will largely be devoted to ukraine , reports the national security adviser of the american president, jake sullivan, saliva also announced a new package of military aid to ukraine from the united states of america and confirmed information from the media that biden and zelenskyi will meet at the white house on thursday, in addition to the fact that last year volodymyr zele will speak before the american congress, according to cnn, although last week the tv channel reported that the speech in the senate will not be held in the president's office ukraine

confirms zelenskyi's visas to the usa, but the details have not yet been announced, we are trying to figure out what to expect from this visit oleg sean, a political scientist, joins of our broadcast. good morning to you. i congratulate you. i am glad to see that president zelensky is going to talk to united states senators during his visit to washington on thursday . this is reported by cnn. in the context of how to help ukraine further, different information often comes from different senators. let's say that the white house is more systematic than its support for ukraine, but if we talk about certain breakthroughs, very often they come from the congress and the senate, since there are voices of skeptics in relation to assistance to ukraine, and there are voices of our friends and partners who are pushing the white house to take more

decisive steps, which of course we all we are waiting for the address of president zelenskyi, it is necessary in several ways, firstly, to maintain and provide additional impetus to the bipartisan, bicameral support of ukraine, since in the election race in the united states it is clear that radical positions, extreme positions, they are even louder. they get more space in the information space and, accordingly , these positions begin to look dominant, and that is why such a visit and address by zelenskyi can give them an opportunity to cement and demonstrate the majority that exists in both parties in support of ukraine - i think it is important in order to vote the budget with money for ukraine, it will most likely pass and yes, but it is very, very difficult and with possible different changes to it, and after the speech

it will be more difficult for president zelenskyi to cut the amounts and talk about the unnecessary and not the need for support of ukraine and about many other negative things, accordingly, this is one of the elements of pressure. i think that the white house did not just adjust the dates and submissions of this application for financing and the visit zelenskyi and they are speaking out against me at the un assembly, all this must work cumulatively. well, it is certainly important here that president zelenskyi thus demonstrates to the american people the gratitude of ukrainians , because the americans have a feeling that they help ukraine, they don’t know the real numbers that all the aid there is invested in three and a half percent of the defense, that is, but the media weight of this is such after the statements of the mask after trump after all those binges that it is definitely important here for ukraine to demonstrate that we are emotionally grateful to those victims of financial on which the american taxpayer goes, what about the reliable weight of a meeting with president biden of any world leader, it is also always an event, what can be expected from a meeting

of president zelensky with biden perhaps new packages of military aid to ukraine will be announced. perhaps there will be some more important statements behind closed doors, which we will not know about publicly, but still, it will have a bearing on how the events surrounding the russian-ukrainian war and in general and the events on the european continent will definitely develop there will be statements, there will definitely be an aid package, this is already good and it has become a tradition, it would be difficult to imagine that a-a bilateral meeting is taking place, while nothing stands out a-a hmm, there is a probability that it may still be announced that ukraine will be subject to attacks, at least we have our fingers crossed, we are all expecting this. 99% of the issues have been resolved according to the attacks, and accordingly, the only thing left is to simply give away the mask, but it has been holding on to it for a long time, quite rigidly , that just now it is possible and that moment will come when the decision is made , the issue of investment will definitely be raised , and for the military development of ukraine

, a person and a created position in the united states were recently appointed, respectively, ms. pritske took and, accordingly, this is such a broad mandate for reconstruction during the war and post-war development and, in particular, with reforms, investment in this, which is related to the climate in which this money should be developed, accordingly , the safety of american capital that enters ukraine is guaranteed because there we agreed on commercial investments will definitely be included in the full range of american transit corporations, so i think that this issue will also not be ignored, but rather everything will be discussed first of all with behind closed doors. i think that in many respects the agenda of the general assembly will set a certain corridor, in particular, to cover the meeting of biden and zelensky , since the european union will raise the issue of reforming the general assembly, especially in the united states, they are in favor of such an advantage that

it will be publicly announced that the circle of permanent representatives in the security council will be expanded y and the inclusion of representatives of the global cock there, that is, it is quite true that precisely the political section he will somehow divert to himself attention, and yet this is general, and now during the election campaign in the united states, nifiga should become first and foremost for biden himself , another least important meeting will be between president zelenskyi and his polish colleague anze duda, who has already stated that he will defend the issue of grain in this matter national polish interests, hmm, after all, this meeting with duda zelenskyi is important for what. for example, there on the international platform, again, behind the usual doors or behind the scenes, poland even more defended the ukrainian issue or about what can they agree on? will zelensky try somehow to soften the position of poland in the context of the actual export of ukrainian grain there? i think there is already

an approximate formula outlined . let's be honest, the transit through poland is important for us, and the fact that under the guise of blocking the import of ukrainian grain to poland does not happen , but the communication of the transit is exactly what we observed, and here maybe just an angel to play the bagpipe for his voter, agrarians in poland occupy a serious electoral seat and are loud and resourceful, he will be able to show that he has protected the national interest and ukrainian grain, the polish market will not be full , the prices will not run low , what are polish agrarians afraid of? and therefore, very often, even with higher risks and threats from ukrainian grain, president zelenskyi will be able to demonstrate that the transit is unblocked, that

the issue of restrictions from the poland, because in ukraine to help get to the ports, and on the contrary, polish ports, er, they are partners of ukraine in the export of grain, somewhere in such a configuration , plus or minus, this agreement is possible. i think that we will see something similar, which if the meeting takes place positively and for this, everyone is there foundations in order to maintain optimism, but there are still about 40 seconds left and an important question is that the minister of foreign affairs in china has to visit russia if he has not already gone there , the media write that this visit may still be connected , why is it happening right after the north korean leader left russia, where he also had talks, in particular with putin, because this is a triangle, because north korea is limited in many of its steps by china's position and china's interests, but, let's say, the dependence on resources from food and technology from russia is growing, and the north koreans wanted to go further would become their back-up companies to provide russia with everything they need, and if russia provides everything necessary for north korea, i think they are ready to go

even against the will of china, and this worries me beijing beijing now wants to probe it and outline certain red lines that exist for china in cooperation with russia and north korea for a very long time . china acted as a safeguard against active military aid from pyongyang for moscow . in new york and analyze in our broadcasts, as well as oleksiy okaan, a political scientist , a guest of our broadcast, we talked about the upcoming visit of president zelensky to new york, where he has already announced , at least according to the media, two meetings with the president of poland and also with the president of the united states jobiting your comments under our broadcast are important for us and it is also important that you subscribe to the radio svoboda youtube channel, then you will not miss our broadcasts. broadcasts, it is proven and balanced, and this is somehow important because you watch us . my name is legalov, this is the freedom project. morning

, we will meet with you tomorrow. take care . greetings, news in the artery. espresso with you in kateryna works in a wide belt. 35 aerial targets were destroyed by our defenders of the sky. last night, the russians attacked ukraine with missiles and cruise missiles. they launched 24 drones. 18 of them managed to eliminate all 17 missiles of the x101 and x55 types, and the x55 were destroyed within the dnipropetrovsk , poltava and khmelnytsky regions . air force command
