[000:00:00;00] we are increasing the salaries of teachers by 18%, we are also expanding the budget for medicine significantly by more than 22 billion , so the second priority is social, and the third priority is helping businesses, despite the war, despite the fact that there is no money for what, we just talked about it behind you, we still provide for the 579 program in the budget, this is cheap lending, we provide for jobs, that is, it is for business development, we provide for housing, this is mortgage lending, and all this, for everything we are increasing financing, more than 31 bln will be spent for these purposes, it seems to me that it is very significant that during the war, despite the lack of money, we still support business, but the question here is whether we can afford to raise the revision of social standards,

further support for business in conditions when taxes are not enough even for... to cover the needs of the army, we count on the help of our partners, and we can see that this help comes in the 23rd year of the year, it comes quite rhythmically, here it is very important to understand that this is a struggle for this money , and negotiations with by partners, and the convictions are constant and the implementation of some steps within the state, the same reforms that we are carrying out, this is a very difficult daily work, and we do not have any guarantees for the 24th year of the permanent, taken on by our partners rigidly, so for today we have 9 billion from the european commission next year, these are obligations that really exist, and 2 billion from the international monetary fund for the continuation of the program, which we are very, very counting on, but we need 42.5 million for next year dollars, 42.5 billion dollars, this is huge money , in fact the budget deficit is 1.6 trillion hryvnias, and

we do not have all this amount yet, we are working on making sure that those, well, let's call them soft obligations, that we have assumed our partners, j7, they turned into real decisions that they took in their countries, and i want to draw your attention to the fact that the 24th year is an election year in many countries of the western world, which , let's say, are not very conducive to this process , because elections are always a certain game of populism, elections are always an aggravation of ... problematic issues that exist within the country , for which money is needed, and accordingly, it distracts from our crisis, and on the condition that certain countries of the western world, they are tired of our war, and this fatigue can have a drastically negative effect on, in helping for us, this is a big enough problem that we

have to deal with every day. it is clear that for this 1.6 trillion hryvnias, which is a budget deficit , ways are now being sought to cover it, of course, but will these preliminary agreements, if they are implemented, be enough to close the hole completely, or now some other ways of paying off the budget deficit are being considered, in particular, perhaps through the revision of the taxation system, no, we do not see an opportunity to revise the taxation system, we have one bill that we must pass before the end of the year. this is additional taxation of banks, there is a small resource, there is somewhere around 10 billion per year, we will definitely accept it, but apart from it , no other revision of rates is foreseen, because we understand that the budget must be adopted on the old tax base, the economy is sorry exhausted and gone no reserve, no resource to raise taxes, on the other hand we have

a reserve in detinization. as a matter of fact, since october 1, fines for the use of transaction recorders for not using the registration of settlement transactions have already started to apply, and this detinizes and detinizes trade, on the other hand, we see reserves for detinization at the customs and in the excise tax, it is also vodka, tobacco and fuel, we also we can see the reserves, all this should bring additional revenues to the budget this year and next year. however, neither are they certain, that is, they are not 100% programmed and we cannot reflect them 100% in the budget. one of the novelties of the draft budget for the 24th year is the transfer of military vat from local budgets to the state budget. well, to explain simply, local communities received additional money due to the fact that people were mobilized, their financial support increased, it appeared, and they pay

taxes from it, which go to local communities. budgets, more money, not all money is used, some of it is used questionably, and here are the legislators offers to transfer to the state, i want to add a little, this, for example, if a military unit. registered on the territory of a certain otg. and the military unit receives combat allowances for those of our soldiers who are on the frontline , in zhytomyr, let's say, and the zhytomyr budget receives an additional tax on the income of individuals from these combatants. and actually, this is where the huge budget surplus comes from, i.e. the excess of income over expenditure. this surplus. in 7 months amounted to more than 80 billion hryvnias, and the balance is on account, on the accounts of local authorities self-government in mid-september amounted to uah 220 billion, this is free money, and

when we are looking for money everywhere, where we save every penny, we should definitely use this money not for defense, not for the army, for paving stones, for fountains, for something else, is absolutely immoral, inexpedient, inefficient and immoral, well here, for the sake of justice, local communities cannot, for example, buy an air defense system in their district with this money, or some serious weapon, they simply do not have such, but let's also be honest, the financing of the army is not is a function of local self-government bodies, financing the army is a function of the state budget, and that is why it is proposed to withdraw this money from local budgets, that is , the military pdf, not others, but specifically the military pdf to withdraw from local budgets and pay for the production of drones at the expense of this pdf and production of military equipment. we will spend more than 48 billion next year on the production of drones alone. if we talk about

the defense-industrial complex. in addition to this, we will spend 55 billion on the defense-industrial complex. and that's absolutely normally. on the one hand, we support our economy, jobs, and the development of the defense-industrial complex. and on the other hand, this is all that our army needs, so it seems to me that there is no place for discussion here, and by the way, this is one of the signs of the 2024 budget, where we are looking for new sources, look, we are not only taking this pdf , the military pdf of local budgets is sent to the state budget, we actually transfer all the money from the road fund to the state budget, there will be no road fund in the 20-24 budget, there will only be... those infrastructural objects that are extremely necessary for defense, and not there is road construction, which is still ongoing on the territory of ukraine, therefore everything for the front, everything for defense, this is actually the name and slogan of this

budget, but is there a discussion in the parliament, regarding this military pddfo, maybe in some percentages, i.e. which ideas sound like to completely take away, partially take away others, yes , there is a discussion, different opinions are heard, and trade regarding... percentages, how, how much to take away, half for half , 70 to 30, or something else, i believe that there is no discussion here at all acceptable, look, in our war there can be no debate between spending money on the front or on something else, the front is an absolute priority, so everything else will come after the victory, and roads are important, and fountains are important, and monuments of history important, but after the victory, because if god forbid, on this cobblestone... the russians will walk, no one will need this cobblestone, so this is an absolute priority, on which we must redistribute money, without even discussing, what there will be no road fund in principle this year, or does this mean that any road repairs will be

suspended? no, why, there will be certain, there will be certain priorities, this money will be transferred to the general fund of the budget, there will certainly be certain subsidies to local budgets, they will have their own money, that is , one more very... important point, local budgets are not will earn less than they earned, for example in the 21st year, their income will increase by 6%, compared to the 21st year, there are special solutions, that is, it is an equalization subsidy, it is called that, which will be distributed among those budgets that will lose this money, but, but they will not earn five to six times more than they earned in the 21st year, but there are such budgets that earn five to six times more, and that's absolutely. it seems unacceptable to me today and i absolutely support the position of the president and the government aimed at redistributing the pdf. let's follow the budget process. thank you for joining today and explaining the main positions to us, it was danylo gitmantsev, people's deputy of ukraine, chairman of the parliament's committee on finance, tax and

customs policy. chevrons approaching victory, no one will tell me that i am a hero, and i do not ask. i'm not here for that, i won't be pitied when i'm in trouble, but i don't need sympathy, i'm no hero , but the enemies are all stronger than me, it's not even a job, it's a struggle, and i won't be stopped by rank, or title, or

... statuses, i'm not a hero, and i'm not fighting against whom, but for what, and our goal, justice, we defend the state together, you can't register damaged property, you don't know where to turn specifically, call at 3:45 p.m., and your appeal is apt will fall into the right hands, if you are currently abroad and need help, you can call the hotline at the number on the screen +3 804 2841915 or contact us through chatbots in telegram or select there is a problem, we are looking for a solution. we will discuss the latest news from the battlefield with oleksandr osienko, head of the center for military legal research. mr. oleksandr, thank you for visiting us today. greetings, one of the... key news today is that

special operations forces have confirmed the elimination of the commander of the russian black sea fleet, he was destroyed during the attack on the headquarters of the black sea fleet, in your opinion, can this seriously destabilize the work of the fleet and what will be the general consequences? certainly, because the enemy sees the mastery and efficiency of operations on the ukrainian side, they see it and it demoralizes, why, because it is necessary to understand, we only see the top, what we know, what the strike reports, and we have all seen rockets, which is also thanks to, in particular , special operations units and forces, not only which adjusted fire and with their help we could to see what is happening there and confirm it, but you just need to understand, this is a very important thing, because the planning and organization of such an operation requires more than one week, it is necessary to understand that this is intelligence,

this is observation, it was... was carried out the work of establishing the time when they are, when the meetings are held, when the headquarters meets, who is meeting , whether the commander is present, at what time, at which meetings, always or not, whether there are deputies, and so on, that is, a whole series of measures aimed at establishing , when they are in order to hit is not easy on the building, and to destroy them, the command, the second is that the road was cleared, that is , pppo were destroyed in the west of the occupied... a number of other measures were carried out in order to blind the enemy and create an opportunity for our rockets to hit effectively and perform this work, and in fact, this whole interaction that we see of the various units of the defense forces, has led to such a , well, extremely powerful result, which will go down in the history of this war without a doubt, because these operations, they require what i said , training organizations and implementation, it is very... very important, the enemy sees it, they see what level of operations

ukraine is currently conducting, they will not say about it publicly, but they will certainly discuss it among themselves somewhere in circles, i am almost sure that now those who want to volunteer to lead the black sea fleet, there is no list, someone will be there, let it be the baltic northern fleet, the pacific fleet, perhaps even the caspian fleet, and even then somewhere more profitable than here, of course, they will appoint someone, of course they will find military personnel, everything will be others... will work, but in any case it affects the fighting spirit , firstly, secondly, any commander needs to get up to speed, well because, because yes, understand what the situation is, how to act , which to choose a bunker or a grotto of a floodplain to hide somewhere, not to sit in a building anymore, because they will be afraid, and then to lead, but of course, it will have consequences, in general, now this is what is happening with the black sea fleet, it led to , that its power and its role decreased by 75-80%. that's

20-25% of what they can do launching more caliber missiles, unfortunately, they are not without opportunities , and the second is that they go out on patrol, but where they go out, they go out into the neutral waters to the southwest, north of the bosphorus, where the neutral waters are, where they think , which our surface drones will not reach, no one, and plus, no one will act, but there they are, demonstrating. presence demonstrating that they are blocking some ukrainian trade routes and so on, that is, they can neither land an amphibious assault, nor shell the coast, nor use your fleet to. for example, to block our ports, because there are ukrainian anti-ship missiles, because there are surface drones, we, in turn, are increasing the possibilities in order to somehow expand the possibilities for our port infrastructure, ports, and we see that the ships so or otherwise come in, there are public reports that the grain initiative

and so on, and this is what is actually important, the demonstration that they cannot set up a blockade for us so that russia does not speak, and this is a very important result. listen, the very fact that the admiral and high-ranking officers were sitting at the meeting in an ordinary room, that is, not somewhere in a bunker, well, maybe in the movie it only shows that they are sitting in bunkers, but when the war is going on, well, it is obvious that they should be persons who are under the strictest security protocols , what does this show, they felt safe in sevastopol, well now they will be sitting in bunkers, well i think they will give us a brand. in the end, germany and we will get them there, because the taurus are designed for this, but i i think that this is their self-confidence in the fact that nothing is in danger, that everything is fine, they are covered by means of pppo, like tsevastopol, well, there really are means of ppu that are concentrated, they really have opportunities, they are just vulnerable, it is not

because you see, they are completely naked there and there is nothing, no, he is covering up, and not only in sevastopol, you have to understand that the work was simply done. in order to find the corridor with which you can strike, and it worked, this too, this, let's say, is not even an underdevelopment of the russian troops, it is ours achievement, that we managed to do it, but of course they felt smug , thought that it was nothing, well, you look, you see that somewhere only after this attack they started to turn on the sirens in sevastopol, before that how many times had the pppo worked and drones were flying , and the rockets that they didn't even turn on, now they already... started to turn on, turn on the sirens, the air alarm, and now, i think they are coming down, now everyone has seen it, that is, well, like in russia, they themselves they call it head-scratching, do you think it was possible to perform such a complex operation without a direct line? contacts in this headquarters, without

some russian officers going to cooperate with ukrainian forces, i don't know how it could be in this particular case, maybe. but from the fact that i know that contacts with certain people in the ranks of the enemy, among the special services, among the military, or not, they certainly exist, well, this is the task of our special services, our intelligence, for that, they are provided for, to obtain this information from these contacts, moreover, i can say that the attacks, if we are talking about the territories of russia, would have been impossible without contacts with such people who, due to... various motivations, in one way or another, are ready to transmit or some information, or to be involved in attacks from the territory of russia, as you know, the same drones are launched from time to time on airfields and very clearly are targeted, so there are obviously such contacts, which indicates that, say, the environment is certain of

the security forces or the forces of the military or the fsb, they are either not satisfied, or there is another motivation, and they are ready to cooperate, and they... on the territory of russia , these are obvious things, land, we to crimea is still relatively far away, not we, the defense forces of ukraine, who are now liberating ukrainian land meter by meter with incredible efforts and at a very high cost, but crimea is already, if not under fire control, then it is definitely there, we are getting it, yes, what is it should have an effect when ground forces cannot yet enter there, but crimea is regularly russian military objects... there under attack, i think that maybe our partners had a calculation that by this time we would be able to be closer to crimea, i mean our land ones, and that was part of it the plan that we have to act together and continue like this, our forces are now implementing, but you understand, in any case, the implementation

of, for example, a plan and an important strategy to establish the dominance of ukraine in the northwestern waters of the black sea, they still do not depend on land, we can implement them now and we are doing them brilliantly, as for land, it is the support of our forces that are leading the counteroffensive, why? because one way or another, attacks on military units and enemy targets will continue occupied crimea, a warehouse, and logistics will be disturbed and the potential for russian troops in defense will decrease and the potential of occupied crimea as a logistics base will decrease, and this is very important, that is, in any case, our fighters who are conducting a counteroffensive on land will feel this the result, and it will be felt, and further over time, as they advance, of course, that more and more blocking and drying up the corridor will create problems for the enemy, that is, these are interdependent things, in fact, in any case, as far as we have come now to

crimea, will we advance in the future, regarding the actual advance, the melitopol direction, where the fighting continues, now and for verbove, novoprokopivka, district, what conclusions do you draw by analyzing the latest news reports? you know that i am always restrained and cautious in my predictions, but i can say that now chi's forces have really achieved success, which we can say, this is especially the vervovoy district, because they managed to break through, find this weak link and repel all enemy counterattacks , the enemy often counterattacks, it is not easy, it is difficult, and our forces create the possibility of expansion platforms even for the use of heavy equipment is also possible, which gives prospects for advancing further, especially there to the south there is an eye to rescue, and further to the west it is a tokmak operational space, so there are successes, they are actually... noticeable, because numerous enemy counterattacks have been repelled , in the course of these counterattacks, the enemy has sufficiently exhausted his units, and they are now retreating somewhat, and

judging by the fact that our forces are already striking further and further into the depth of the enemy, this means that it is possible to push back, well, and that's why perspectives are opening up, to expand and move to the tokmak, and then of course everything will be shown, combat actions, because there are two possible scenarios, the possibility that we will really be able to break through and leave faster, the enemy will be demoralized and forced to withdraw also to the tokmak, and another is possible, which unfortunately, they will be able to regroup, throw in reinforcements, and we will once again enter the second line of defense, not so powerful, but in a battle that may drag on, well, it will show in the near future, it will become clear, the abrams tanks were already supposed to appear on the ukrainian front, today the president confirmed that they are already in ukraine, i understand that we are talking about a limited number of tanks, these are not some huge formations there, yes, but... nevertheless, according to your information, how actively is it used

heavy equipment like tanks now on the southern front and how much the abrams can strengthen our capabilities there, and tanks are used carefully, because you have to create opportunities, that is, you need areas that are demined, plus places where the enemy's artillery is suppressed, and where we can to act with our electronic warfare equipment to suppress the signal of their fpawns and lancets of various types of drones, this is important. and then, where there is an operative, now under verbov there are opportunities, in principle, let’s see how in large numbers, but there are opportunities to increase this fire pressure with the help of tanks, in particular, there are, that is, tanks will be used, i think when there are appropriate conditions and brigades will apply them, especially abrams - this is an offensive tank, this is a breakthrough tank, it was developed that way, if the leopard is such a technique combined, after all, well, abrams, he is trained to attack and quite powerfully. to maneuver and move quickly, i think that the enemy will still feel this fire pressure, even a small amount, and it will not be easy for them, they are already developing some

brochures there about how to hit these tanks and so on, they are preparing, they are taking countermeasures seriously , and i think that they are wary, well, there is something, but it is necessary to understand that one should not expect that this will immediately become a change in the situation on the battlefield, punctually, limitedly, they will definitely have their effect, but, no such as it may seem to someone that everything will fall, but it is definitely an increase in our firepower, and i think we all have perfectly realized that there is no miracle weapon, which is the only one that comes to the front, completely changes the picture, our miracle weapon - these are the armed forces and the defense forces of ukraine, and only by supporting them can we know how to supply ammunition and make it possible to advance further , i am grateful to you for visiting us today, it was oleksandr mosienko, the head of the center for military and legal research, now a short ,

a pause followed immediately by a news release. chevrons approaching victory. and another year when we do not celebrate, but choose our independence. and one more day when they try to deprive us of the right to be ourselves, and one more fleeting moment of a terrible war that has been going on for centuries, but the whole world is already convinced that our independence should not be trampled, drowned, burned, shot, and the greater our hatred, the stronger our... independence, the closer our victory.

we prove our independence every day. if the engine is the heart of the plane. then his soul is the man who holds the helm, and when this soul is full of pain and anger, the enemy will have no mercy. during the war, our aviation made more than 1,400 sorties. thank you for the fact that your wings cover our sky, and may the number of take-offs always equal the number of landings. glory to the aviation of ukraine. it is normal to be afraid, but to admit your fear, brave, we need the brave, update the data in tsk, bravery, fear wins, our weapon is the truth, the marathon is the only news,

gave orders for missile attacks on ukrainian cities. set it like this before. ssbu during the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine, this is the first liquidated warlord of such a high rank, and the second case in the entire history of the russian naval forces. the last commander of the russian fleet was killed in action 119 years ago during the russo-japanese war, defense express notes. along with the falcon , 34 officers were liquidated during the attack on the headquarters of the black sea fleet in sevastopol. 105 occupiers were wounded - reported by the special operations forces. another 62 occupiers were destroyed on september 13 during an attack on a large landing ship - minsk. the next day he had to go on combat duty. abrams tanks are already in ukraine, this was confirmed by president volodymyr zelenskyi. now they are being prepared for transfer to the brigades of the ukrainian armed forces. the head of state thanked the allies for

fulfilling the agreements. it is not known how many abramtsov arrived in ukraine. in total, the united states plans to transfer to us 31 such tanks, the first abrams are already on their way to ukraine, during the recent visit of volodymyr zelenskyi to the united states, the president of the united states, joe biden, said. let me remind you, ukrainian in the summer servicemen began training on american tanks at a base in germany. earlier, the head of ukrainian gur noted that abrams will be used in breakthrough and well-prepared special operations. we are working to ensure that ... all the other weapons we need so much, this applies to the ef-16, the training of pilots and infrastructure is ongoing. this also applies to long-range weapons. we are doing everything so that ukraine can do more to liberate its territory, as well as with air defense. to close the entire territory of our state, more systems are needed than we currently have.
