5:30 am
[000:00:00;00] work continues now with the government on a resolution of the relevant cabinet of ministers of ukraine so that compensation can be received by people who have destroyed homes in the temporarily occupied territories, there are now modern methods of recording such destruction, starting from various possibilities of satellite imaging, so that, despite to the fact that the territory is temporarily occupied, so that it would be possible, directly at the level of commissions currently working at local self-government bodies, to record the destruction, so that a person would receive or housing certificate or corresponding, or corresponding earmarked funds, as of today, i would also like to note that on june 30 , the president signed amendments to the tax code
5:31 am
of ukraine, article 165, clause one, subclause 56, which excludes from the tax income of citizens all amounts that related to compensation for damaged and destroyed housing, that is, people will not pay any taxes if they received such compensation from the state, and taking this opportunity, i would like to ask all our citizens to submit their documents, which confirm the right of ownership to the register: of rights, because compensations are provided only when the right of ownership is recorded in the state register and to appeal to those citizens who currently have or lost or destroyed title documents, now you can confirm the right of ownership only through certain court processes , we understand that the courts may not work as quickly as we would like, and
5:32 am
we would like those people who are trying to get ... compensation, we are currently working with my colleagues in parliament to develop such a new a simplified court procedure specifically for those people who receive compensation in order to maintain the right of ownership, but this has not yet been adopted by the legislation, we recommend not to resist in order not to waste time on receiving compensation, but still go to court and receive appropriate confirmation of the documents establishing the right. also the next stage will be mandatory compensation for repairs to those people who have fixed damages of more than uah 200,000, now we already see certain statistics that under the program there are restoration, there is a corresponding number of applications when people were denied compensation of up to uah 2,000 for the reason that the destruction and damage amounted to more
5:33 am
than uah 2,000. such people also receive mandatory compensation, there will be no need to do the same procedures there for the commission to go out, fill out the relevant checklist, record the damage, because the commission has already done it all, recorded it and all the relevant data is entered directly into the register of the damaged and destroyed housing. let me remind you that the source of such compensation payments in 2020 was the fund for liquidation of the consequences of armed aggression of the russian federation, the first money for this fund, more than 17 billion hryvnias, came from russian banks that worked here on the territory of ukraine, including sberbank of russia, we hope that in the next year it will also be the seized funds of various sanctioned assets
5:34 am
that are related to russia, we hope. that our international partners will be included in the program as much as possible, well, according to it the current law , which is already working there today, is gaining momentum, the sources can be both the state budget and the local budget, and the funds of international technical assistance, that is , any funds that are not prohibited by the current legislation. thanks, if you have any questions, i'm ready to answer. there is no, but there is a public issue regarding the ukrainian orthodox church, which i understand should be voted on this week, so tell me, in general, whether there is any unity in the council regarding this issue, because some of them write that there is precisely a split, in particular to the servants of the people regarding the ukrainian orthodox church and to what extent this draft law is really realistic to be adopted, i think that it
5:35 am
is quite realistic to adopt it. i do not see a split, i personally did not receive a single call there, no incorrect information or any threat, i am one of those who... when our colleagues there began to collect signatures for such a legislative initiative, i did not hesitate to put my signature and it was done by more than 240 different parliamentarians from different parliamentary factions and groups, so i think it is a little far-fetched a story about divisions and some troubles in the verkhovna rada, the vote will decide everything, the main thing is that the scoreboard should be 226. dear mass media, dear colleagues, dear citizens of ukraine who are watching us on tv, today the first session of the four-day, well let's put it this way, during the period of work of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, we
5:36 am
plan to adopt very important bills, among the bills that were considered today, i would single out the bill on the declaration of personal assets for persons who are held by senior government officials. and i want to tell you with joy that this bill was voted on today as a whole, that is , it will be signed by the chairman of the verkhovna rada and sent to the president of ukraine for signature, after the president of ukraine signs it, it will already acquire the status of law. our political group, the platform for life and peace in its entirety, 19 people's deputies of ukraine voted for this draft law, because we believe that declarations should be open to people and mass media, that those officials who hold positions, starting with the prime minister of ukraine, ministers, people's deputies of ukraine, heads of military administrations, deputies, heads
5:37 am
of district administrations, that is, that they fully declare their wealth, that it be transparent, that everyone could report on the origin of the money, what expenses , what is being spent, it should be...' it should be public and people should know it all, and the mass media should have the right to ask questions, if such questions exist. it is very an important law, it is defined as a priority by the european union, it is one of those red flags that bring ukraine closer to the european union, and i am glad that we did it today and that the verkhovna rada of ukraine voted for this bill. today i had a speech in the verkhovna rada of ukraine, and i just quoted the words to the president of ukraine that he, uh, announced on 600 days of the beginning of the aggression of the armed russian federation against ukraine. that is, in his speech,
5:38 am
the president of ukraine called on the people of ukraine and everyone, including, i am sure, the people's deputies of ukraine, to unity, that is , unity is our strength and unity is ours. even today, people's deputies of ukraine should take an example from our ukrainian military , who ensure victory, who selflessly and heroically defend our ukraine, and i am sure that our victory is coming, and we will return the territorial integrity of ukraine, we will return our territories, and our citizens of ukraine will be able to completely calmly restore the economy and watch the future, the future should be our children, i am sure that we will definitely do it, and therefore the people's deputies of ukraine, like those officials who provide the legislative field, they should today take the example of
5:39 am
the military, unite regardless of political preferences, regardless of religious beliefs, so that we all work to pass quality bills, so that, first of all, here we are: the law on the state budget of ukraine will be under consideration, so that we direct all funds to the armed forces of ukraine , that is, first of all provided the armed forces of ukraine and at the same time ensured the timely payment of pensions, the timely payment of salaries in the budgetary sphere, jobs for ukrainians , i.e. those current obligations of the state that exist today, we will support, the draft of the state budget of ukraine we will vote in favor of all the funds of the country were concentrated on the armed forces of ukraine and on our victory. thank you all. colleagues, do you have any questions? please introduce yourself,
5:40 am
public, and would like to clarify about the draft law on the possible closure of the complete ban of the ukrainian orthodox church, it should also, as i understand it, be under consideration. here is your attitude to this draft law of the government, which you see as vague. look, this is a government bill, i will read it to you now, in order for you to get an answer, yes, i will read you the words of the president of ukraine. those that he proclaimed exactly 600 days after the beginning of the armed aggression and the war that russia is waging against us, the will that does not give up, gains freedom, freedom that relies on unity, always wins, the main thing is not to waste time, not to lose unity, and that is why i called today... well, take an example from our
5:41 am
military, they are today heroically defending our country and bringing victory closer, regardless of the skin color of our military, regardless of what language he speaks thinks, regardless of nationality, regardless of religion, if we are to be honest with each other , please tell me, how many of our... military members are actually more members of which church today, or those who, if you conduct a sociological survey, they themselves somehow will note their affiliation to one or another church, i am convinced that these are official data , these are official statistics, which confirm that the ukrainian orthodox church today, among those soldiers who are at the front, on the front lines, has a relative value
5:42 am
of more than the president of ukraine, in order for us to consolidate society today, it is my deep conviction that such laws are out of time, let us first ensure victory, and then we will separate who where and how, because those of our soldiers, heroes who , which confess, and who are baptized in the ukrainian orthodox church, they also give their... life, their blood, so that there will be victory, and my, my confidence is that, well, this law, it is not on today times, because it divides society, to whom it benefits today, it benefits the russian federation so that we have more and more quarrels, let us calmly unite , consolidate, show unity, win, and then calmly figure out what, where and how, and our constitution provides for
5:43 am
individual... legal responsibility, if there are real claims against someone in the security services of ukraine, others, they must answer according to the law, we do not have collective responsibility, this is not in the constitution, and i can show you the constitution of ukraine, where it is written in black and white that ukraine is guaranteed individual legal responsibility, one of the most priority areas of international work, at the moment is the confiscation of frozen russian assets. this is exactly what my colleagues and i are very actively engaged in on the international stage. what a status of this process for today? joseph borel was recently in kyiv, and he said that the total volume of international aid of the european union to ukraine amounted to 25 billion dollars. so imagine that the world now has 20 times more than
5:44 am
this amount of russian assets that are frozen but not confiscated, that is, there is a huge amount of money that can be used by ukraine to win for reconstruction, but unfortunately, there is no until now , there is no political will and there are no legal opportunities to do this, since last year, since the moment when no one believed that this process... possible, we have made tremendous progress, from canada passing a bill to confiscate russian assets owned by oligarchs, to similar bills being passed in the united states and introduced into the parliaments of countries such as great britain, estonia and belgium . recently , president zelskyi said that belgian prime minister oleksandr decro promised to use the extension. and taxes on frozen assets in belgium and
5:45 am
that profit is 1.2 billion, which is also a very good step forward, this week in the canadian parliament, our colleague, ratna omidvar, is introducing a bill to confiscate the assets of the russian central bank, this is an extraordinary breakthrough and can set exactly the precedent that we need not only to ... hunt for the assets of the oligarchs, to take those very funds , which putin hid, saved, before launching a full-scale invasion, and you have them precisely for the benefit of ukraine, this week in the ukrainian parliament we have already collected about 50 signatures under an appeal to the prime minister of canada justna trudeau with a request to support bringing the bill to the floor of the parliament of canada and to support this bill.
5:46 am
canada now has about 200 million euros of frozen russian assets of the central bank. and since this amount is relatively small compared to other countries, we expect that there will be an opportunity to set a precedent and carry out this process. extraordinary, extraordinary pressure is currently being exerted on the political forces that support ukraine and the provision of international aid to us, as our allies are entering a dangerous election period, elections in the united states, elections to the european parliament, elections in great britain. we fully understand that populists and enemies of ukraine will use the issue of providing us with assistance for their own purposes. and we need a very clear, very clear and true, sincere argument, and that argument is simple. those people who
5:47 am
really support us should not pay for the reconstruction of ukraine from their own pockets. and it is the one who... is the aggressor, the one who creates destruction and destruction, who must be responsible, that is why it is necessary not to spend funds from taxes paid by taxpayers in partner countries, and to use russian frozen assets, both the assets of oligarchs and the assets of the central bank. when we talk about the fact that ukraine is fighting for a precedent, a precedent that in the 21st century one country cannot annex the territory of another, commit all kinds of war crimes, we must also say what we can do so that other aggressors never in their lives thought to repeat the steps of russia, and the confiscation of russian assets, a heavy economic blow, will be such
5:48 am
a step that will show all aggressors that the democratic world has teeth and is ready to use them, ready to take strong democratic steps. thank you. colleagues, please, do you have any questions about the bill on the ukrainian orthodox church , which they have this week, and the voice faction will support this bill, and whether it sees any risks, of course, the voice faction will support the bill on banning the russian orthodox church. we were actually one of the factions that introduced such a bill to the verkhovna rada in the first days of the full-scale invasion, there are also draft laws from our colleagues, in principle, they are all quite well written and we will be happy if we manage to vote on one of them.
5:49 am
i can tell you, this is so important that i have canceled my business trips to be present in the verkhovna rada hall and give the one vote i can to get this bill passed, the biggest risks we see , what if the government's alternative bill is passed, which is much weaker and doesn't say we're banning work of the russian orthodox church as a church that works , as an organization that works for the enemy, and this will be everyone who does not like the russian orthodox church, can go to court, let's say it directly, after all the evidence, after all the information from the sbu, as to the er, what the members of this church, their representatives, were involved in, well, that would be an absolutely weak move on our part, so we will vote for all the bills that will be brought up in the house on this matter, and of course , we will expect that support
5:50 am
will have, on the strongest one, which prohibits the work and activity of the russian orthodox church in ukraine, and also confiscates its property, i.e. for... apart from the government one , what other bills do you have of ours, where i am a co-author with ms. inna sofsun, and there are the bill of our colleagues from european solidarity, mr. knyazhytsy, they have also been passed, and they will be considered this week. well, we are now, let me tell you this, we are now crossing our fingers and hoping that they will all be taken, well, because they are alternative there, thank you, yes, uh, if it's ukrainian news. i wanted to know that regarding today 's vote, the head of your faction still voted to take pdfo away from local communities, in your opinion, why did your colleagues vote that way? and why this draft law was still not voted on as a whole, so let's figure it out, the issue
5:51 am
of transferring the military vat to the central budget, it is extremely painful, on the one hand, we understand that there is a deficit that we cannot close in any way, with any help from countries -partners, and it should be money, ukrainian taxpayers, which are paid within the country. on the other hand, we do... understand that in order to take such a step, there must be a clear, transparent way where this money will be transferred, how it will be used, and in order not to disrupt this, that process, the consensus that already existed in many communities, where these funds, taxes from the military tax were used for the maintenance of military units that were assigned to one or another territorial community, so we had alternative bills and many amendments, where we demanded, firstly, that there be a clear definition of how this military pdf will be used, that it be transferred to
5:52 am
the ministry of defense, and that the money clearly went there, to drones and to military infrastructure, and not to funds that were proposed in the final version of the bill. well, the second question was not to transfer 100% of the military pdf to the central budget, but to keep some part. in order to, at least, well, a small part of those projects, those directions, which local communities are engaged in, eh, to give them the opportunity to continue these directions. i believe that the decentralization reform was one of the most important reforms of recent years, and therefore an attempt to suppress it in this way is, well, three steps back in our european integration, in our building of the future. that is why i personally did not support the final version. bill, but i know that a lot of people, well, there was a feeling that we're going to have to get this money from somewhere anyway, so the situation is as follows, i think we
5:53 am
will eventually pass it, but since the draft law was sent to for a repeated second reading, we will be able to adapt it so that, in order to get more support, or at least to have a clearer, transparent answer to the question of how these funds will be distributed in the central budget and that they will not go to any there are expenses that we consider impractical, and that it will specifically be the purchase of drones, or specifically the purchase of military equipment, and secondly, that it is possible to leave some part to the communities. today , zala expressed her opinion about the colleagues who supported her this draft law, i understand them too, because we all, we all saw the latest scandals, we understand that not all communities... managed funds correctly and there were of course exceptions, but this is the task of state
5:54 am
policy not to row everyone under one roof , and balanced, to work on state interests, now our interest is one , it is clear, to ensure that the ministry of defense, our armed forces receive maximum support in one way or another, and the mechanism for this is just being worked out in the hall of the verkhovna rada. national marathon the only news is that the tv channel rada is working for you and we are continuing the broadcast. the occupiers attacked the territory of ukraine with attack drones at night, this was reported in the air force, air defense was working in kirovohrad region and kyiv region. explosions were also heard in odessa. the russians released shaheds across odesa from the black sea. in the kharkiv, mykolaiv and kherson regions, the air the alarm was related to the activity of enemy tactical aviation. we are waiting for official information about the consequences of the night attack. we will go into detail
5:55 am
to report on air. absolutely true. katya, now in our half window you can see a map of air alarms. zaporizhzhia region is red. and we hope you're in safe places right now. the ambassador of ukraine to the usa told what the 60 billion that joe biden is asking to be allocated to ukraine will be used for? according to oksana. funds will be spent on defense, and almost 12 billion will be spent on supporting the economy. more details will be revealed if congress approves such spending. the day before, the american president again stated: "ukraine and israel may seem far away, but dictators must pay for their crimes." according to biden, this is vital for us national security. the election of the speaker of the lower house of the us congress, which has been frankly delayed, is also delaying the proceedings. the so-called ukrainian package, which the white house is asking for, we will talk about this in more detail with the journalist dmytro anopchenko , who is in direct contact with us right now and
5:56 am
monitors all these processes in washington in welcome, and congratulations, i am glad to join, so, dima, tell me, can we talk about a certain time frame now, regarding the consideration of this document and how much really , making a decision on the head of the congress yes, affects the consideration of this document, you know, it's a key moment, it's a watershed, and right now we can only talk about the connection, about the fact that the congressmen need to elect the speaker of the lower house, and after that everything should already ... work, and regarding this, we can talk about the timeline, i am interested in them literally every day, that heard from congressional sources that on monday, we still have sunday evening, now, due to the time difference, the closed party conference of the republicans is supposed to meet on monday, they have to decide on a candidate for the position of speaker, it is possible that from tuesday the issue will be brought to the floor and the republicans
5:57 am
will be able to vote, i want you and explain to the audience why this is so important. the fact is that the big package that biden asked for, a package that includes ukrainian money, but also money for israel, for taiwan, for strengthening american borders, this big package more than 100 billion have to be considered by two chambers, and here in the senate, what we hear constantly, they say that there are enough votes, that they are ready to vote, in the lower house, in the house of representatives, where votes are also needed, in principle, even there are votes, what we hear is that there are all democrats who are ready to support it, there is a part of... republicans, however, there is no one to bring it up for consideration, for a vote, and while there is no speaker, this issue cannot move, it has frozen, that is why , who did not elect the head of the lower house, a person who is the question will be brought to the hall, well, we are waiting for the forecast of the white house, what was heard now , they say, it is expected in two or three weeks, when this question can be brought up and when the head of the lower
5:58 am
house will be elected, colleagues, dimo, and do you have an understanding of the exact the amount... ukraine can get, how much will it be enough, when we are talking about the same ukrainian package that the senators have to vote on? well, look, you remembered the post written by mrs. markarova, indeed ukrainian diplomats are now trying to calculate the exact figures, because the budget request, it is formed quite it is difficult, when you take these papers, you have to deal with them, which in principle i also did, what can be seen now, that out of these 60 billion, which are conditionally for ukraine, all the money will go to kyiv, accordingly, this was the case in all packages, because with this money, in particular, we need to buy weapons for the american army, with this money we need to replenish the space in the pentagon warehouses, from which weapons and, for example, missiles were transferred to ukraine, what i hear from congressional sources, which is about 28 billion , this is a clean
5:59 am
amount, clean ukrainian money, well, i have considering the targets that kyiv can receive if this package is approved, there are still about 5 billion in reserve, but in the grand scheme of things, the logic here is as follows: during this year, in 10 months of this year, the american administration transferred to ukraine about 20 billion in military aid alone, to divide, well, we see that it is 2 billion per month, and in this way , the budget department of the american administration, when forming this package, laid it down with the expectation that there would be enough money for two months of this year and 12 of the next, that is, this package is calculated until the end of 2024, well, i have to explain why the pre-election year of 2024, in the summer everyone will already be focused on the presidential elections, in the fall there will be the elections themselves, and thus the american administration wants the congressmen to vote now for an amount that
6:00 am
will be enough for the entire this difficult political period, so as not to return to it. that is, by and large, really, i am not talking now about economic aid, i am not talking now about humanitarian aid, purely for needs, purely to support the front, provide ammunition, to provide equipment, it is planned to have at least 28 billion, 28 billion , which should be enough until the end of 2024, mr. dmytro, we thank you for joining our broadcast today, we will wait for your next broadcasts, dmytro anopchenko, journalist from washington, because you are in direct contact with us. next, on the air of the general national marathon, only news, news from the information service of the tv channel rada, stay with us. i am a russian warship, i suggest you lay down your arms and surrender.
