[000:00:00;00] we're talking and quoting alliance military committee chairman bauer, nato has approved a plan to deter and defend against the russian federation, and those plans , bauer says, are about how to deter and defend against the two threats that nato faces, which are russia and terrorist groups , please tell us what this means, how it will possibly change the strategy of nato directly, or what it is about, explain to us, mr. igor, well, the strategy of nato. actually nato, yes, that's why putin had a task at the beginning, it was actually to split nato, respectively, but on the way out, on the contrary, they received some greater appropriate reciprocity and the threats that the russian federation is currently provoking with war, respectively, in ukraine, the threats that are currently arising in terms of the activities of terrorist organizations

, such as, for example, hamas, this is all... leads to a rethinking, respectively, of those approaches to the available weapons, the number of military personnel, to their presence, in one or another, respectively, the need to conduct appropriate training there, training, coordination, and so on, therefore and by the way, rearmament in fact, yes, the availability of the necessary amount, in the appropriate, say, places and so on, so , well, in practice, this just means that all these measures , they will now become and in fact nato countries, they are consolidating in the face of the threats that exist, although of course that countries such as russia, they tried in every way to split, to drive a wedge, let's say between the allies, by launching various disinformation, yes, raising issues with about whether or not indeed, nato will react if someone there attacks some small, let's say, nato country, whether they want to, maybe they will bargain somehow and will somehow act more

appropriately restrained, so we now see that the united states of america, situations, for example, with the crisis on in the middle east, they were actively involved, from the first days, let's say, there is a corresponding presence, yes, of course, there are certain strategic interests of theirs there, israel acts as an ally there, but still the reaction was quite quick, not like, for example, 24 february 2022, that's right, these two cases, ukraine and israel, seem to be important for american politics now, let's talk about it in more detail, us secretary of defense lloyd ocean and secretary of state anthony blinken asked the us congress not to divide aid to ukraine and israel, it is about a package assistance in the amount of 106 billion dollars, of which almost 61.5 billion is provided for ukraine. both politicians, speaking before the senate, noted the arguments why the support of ukrainians is important for the national security of the united states. they noted that without american help

russia can win on the ukrainian battlefield. and assistance to ukraine, as well as to israel, is extremely urgent, because the victory of ukrainians and israelis in the fight against the occupiers and hamas terrorists will determine global security in the world for many years to come. let me remind you that some republicans are still hesitating, or are opposed to additional aid to the ukrainian army. mr. igor, in your opinion, who will overpower whom, the white house, will overpower the congress, as they say, so either you vote as we propose, or still after all, there will be a veto and we will have to try to find an understanding again, or on the contrary, the congressmen will push their position, and the republicans, republicans, trumpists, or rather, they will prevail over both parties, over their own and over the democrats, that's exactly what i wanted to say about the fact that it is not necessary to generalize to all republicans, because right now we have a small group of such

ultra-conservatives, those whom... accordingly we call trumpists and their position regarding the fact that ukraine should be helped less, other republicans, they say that it is necessary to help, but they put forward a number of conditions regarding, well, supply control and so on , in principle, no one opposes this at all, including, accordingly , ukraine, we have now seen the difficult negotiations in the american congress, we have seen the difficulty of electing the speaker, respectively , and bicker, as we can see, he is ready to listen to the white house, but still decided to divide now, yes, submit the corresponding bills, which provide for the division of aid, to ukraine, respectively, and to israel, but the white house advocates quite determined, and i think that a large part of the republicans, in principle , as well as the democrats, and will really try, maybe use, in this case, the senate, showing that it can be such a stupid

situation, so it's better to find understanding and providing... ukraine with everything necessary, especially on the eve of the elections, because again, appealing to biden's position that the security of the united states of america begins precisely with the security of its allies, including, accordingly, ukraine, and we see yes about which austin said accordingly, what were the statements, yes, that if there is no help, then it will give an opportunity to defeat russia and putin, respectively, which are spurs, the presidential elections next year in the united states, to the extent that they will become an obstacle for negotiations, for agreements, or rather a package of support for ukraine , because in fact, if the white house wins, then this is definitely an electoral plus. for joe biden because he said he's going to run for a second term, if the trump republicans take over then obviously trump has a win too

among her audience, well, look, the fact is that, for example, the same lockdown, yes , the potential that could have been, to which the positions of the republicans, respectively, could have led , she played them, well, more in the minus, in fact, than in the plus, of her positions, as well as the election of the speaker , i.e. removing the speaker, and then not being able to appoint him and fail the vote, this is not an indicator of the strength of the republicans in particular and does not, accordingly, play in their favor electorally, so here various events can actually affect, of course, unfortunately, the issue of ukraine, it will be the issue that will be used in the elections, but again, the white house is trying to show that this is a position that is important for both sides, that is, for democrats and republicans, by the way, the foreign policy vector and biden's statements, they find support, and ukraine is included in this foreign policy vector , and answers to those threats that exist, well, somewhere

around 70%, probably of americans, have questions about internal, domestic politics, there in economic in particular sphere, they reduce, let's say this support, so here, after all, there is also an incentive for republicans to go accordingly. an agreement and provide the necessary support and it is still possible to volunteer for the unification of bills, because the struggle is always sharp, well, the elections with the writing of america, it is always quite sharp, and now, given the differences that exist in society itself, society is divided and the remoteness of the democrats, republicans, you know, there is a corresponding rating of the closeness, yes, of the positions of these parties, and now it is on such polar bases, that is why it is a problem and it is better... to solve this issue unequivocally, accordingly now and find an appropriate understanding, and the traditional republicans, respectively, and the white house and the democrats, of course, mr. igor, are interested in an understanding, thank you , who helped to figure it out, ihor petrenko, a political scientist, was with us, the russian

dictator putin did not condemn the jewish pogrom in dagestan, instead he blamed ukraine and the west for it, representatives of the white house drew attention to this peculiarity of putin's behavior, in particular to this said a representative of the administration of the president of the united states. john kirby, that's classic russian rhetoric, isn't it, when something goes wrong in your country, just blame somebody else, blame it on outside influences. the west has nothing to do with it, it's just hate, bigotry and intimidation, a good and decent leader would call it what it is, as president biden called it here, instead of blaming the west. dmytro levus, political scientist, internationalist, is now in touch with us. mr. dmitry, hatred, fanaticism, intimidation. is there something more, actually hatred, bigotry and intimidation, the consequences of this are the war in ukraine, there are absolutely terrible things that are happening in russia itself and the politics of russia itself, just

hatred, bigotry and intimidation, would you like to continue this series, and i would continue this series, because for russia, it is inherent, you know, historically. because practically, let's see what happened in dagestan, well , first of all, the region, not only dagestan, but the entire northern caucasus, practically for several days he had such a fever, that is, at first, a few days, first in karachayevo in cherkessia, in cherkessk a meeting with demands not to allow jews, refugees from israel to karachayevo-cherkessia, the second moment, they demanded that everyone who is already there be expelled, then these misunderstandings began, yes, they say it mildly, but in reality

the harbingers of the pogrom in dagestan in khasavyurtka, when they started looking for those jews who live in hotels, and that's all, that's how it happened, and it all happened, in the region with the most a tougher counter-intelligence and police regime even in russia, yes, the north caucasus is a regime where...' a region where a regime of counterterrorist operations is introduced from time to time. who, this is a region where the security forces simply have a carte blanche for any actions, where, as one of my acquaintances, of circassian origin, wrote: it is impossible to go to a single picket with a placard in defense of the study of the native language at school. so that you are not immediately greeted by a battalion

of policemen, and then suddenly it all happens quite like this, calmly, well, how calmly, yes, with the help of the police, which is all spilling into this huge pogrom at the airport, where rioters are breaking in, and by the way, now the cadres are in regime premises, where it is written on the walls that the fight against terrorism is a common cause, and no one is left there. there are literally three or four of these border guards with frightened screams, this is what is happening, the capture of the airport, yes, practically everything, all this all happened, that is, it is clear that without the help of the so-called russian law enforcement officers, without the help of the security service, or at least such a regime light, all this could not happen. and

all this refers us to historical traditions the russian, non-russian federation, the russian empire, even when pogroms during the time of the tsar, they took place precisely under the supervision of the police, that is, the police never interfered, why, because in this way the authorities redirected, dissatisfaction, yes, protest against the jews, in this way, especially now in the northern caucasus, this is exactly how it happened again, but how the predecessors of the current russian government played, namely the tsarist, imperial government of its time, which simply, inexplicably did not notice, what,

what, these are such movements, they can come out. that is, dmitry, allow me to clarify, you mean that in this way, the russian leadership creates conditions in which society or individual republics can let off steam if they see that certain conflicts are brewing there, but, as i understand correctly, that there is a big risk of getting burned during this by the russian authorities themselves, unequivocally, this is exactly the case, and by the way, by and large this is how it happened, yes, so far they have managed to channel this protest, and by and large, because then these appeared and the messages of all these commanders of dagestani origin, who say that they will judge you, but then you go to us , here under bahmud, we have war here for you, work, again, redirecting to ukraine, not only these

by the way, that's all, then i'll ask you, mr. levusya, what exactly was the conflict and what couple had to be released in dagestan, the only thing that comes to my mind is that this is the only, the only country, the only city, where women went out to protest to stop mobilization and mobilization, but it was exactly a year ago, it was september 22nd, and so vivid were the videos , these protests, first of all, women protested, then all the information disappeared from view, they probably squeezed, but if they squeezed, didn’t a year later , certain wrong moods were brewing there, which they wanted to suppress in this way, letting off steam, attacking the jews? naturally, the northern caucasus, and dagestan in general, is a very problematic region for the russian authorities, and in terms of what is... yes, muslim protests, yes, that

is, there is, well, there is, there is, discontent, which is being radicalized in what way, yes, young people are going to, to radical islamism, yes, that is, this is it, this is one moment, and, by the way, moscow, the russian special services have always played with this, but, but also, here the question is how much it can be successful for them, yes, so far they are against this protest, the second point, in social terms, this is this is a poor region, by the way, this is not only dagestan, this is karachay cherkessia. region, this is again a region where there are certain problems between nationalities in itself, for example, in dagestan, by the way, in karachayevo circassia also, there is, there is a conflict between, between nationalities and a struggle for power, which moscow, by the way, has also always used, yes, because here is karachaev of circassia, for example,

there are karachaev tsyurks, circassians, adezhens, yes, that is, this is it also one of those moments, i.e.... in fact, the north caucasus has many problems that moscow is trying to somehow restrain, redirect, well, chechnya seems to be calm only due to the fact that they practically pay the tinina, directly to kadyrov, and kadyrov is built into these processes, the system of government, but, but also , there are other nuances there, that is why there are many nuances, and it is clear that we do not know those countries so deeply, but they are all different, and what was shown a year ago women, and then the streets of dagestan and makhachkala heard that russia attacked ukraine, these were extremely important things, but you see, they found control over these brave people, dmytro levus, political scientist, internationalist, was in

touch with us now, moving on, let's talk about the economy, at the end of october the dollar exchange rate to hryvnia gradually decreased, according to financial analysts, they began to give 10 k less for one dollar than it was a week ago, in exchange offices of ukraine, the american currency is sold for 36 hryvnias 70 kopecks per dollar, the euro costs 39 hryvnias 12 kopecks. vasyl furman, doctor of economic sciences, is now in touch with us, he will join later and we will talk directly about the dollar exchange rate and what trend is currently observed, how it will affect prices and the prices of goods, and domestic goods and imported production because when we can to compare the same thing for one, which is sold somewhere on foreign sites, or here, the price is much higher here, which gives reason to say that the dollar exchange rate is set directly, as some told me, at the same level, it seems, businessmen and importers set at level 45, we will ask vasyl furman about this, mr. vasyl, we congratulate you, please tell me, you just

heard my last phrase, in what categories do businessmen think now, what can be on... so much different price for conditional jeans or conditional imported jacket, i.e. why is it like that different, are businessmen playing a fair game, or what dollar rate are they targeting? ah, look, well, first of all, with regard to businessmen, it is their business, from the point of view of what course they set in their budgets, that is, some set one course, some another, that is, everything depends on profitability. profitability from their forecasts and so on. now justifying and giving them the opportunity to each act as a joke, right? look, about predictions, they, they're very smart people, uh, that's the first one, that is, because they're businessmen, they make big money, someone has a lot of money, someone less, that is, but in any case

, for any businessman, it is extremely important, this is exchange rate stability in the state, i talk to many businessmen, and they are very grateful to... the bank of ukraine for the exchange rate stability that we have, we have been fighting for more than 20 months , that is, to this day, currency stability, macroeconomic stability, the decrease in inflation during this year is significant in our country, that is , let me remind you, inflation at the beginning of the year was 26.6, on the end of the year according to the forecasts of the national bank there will be less than 6%, this is a huge credit to the national bank, including the exchange rate policy pursued by the national bank, regarding we know that the national bank does not give any forecasts regarding the exchange rate of the hryvnia to the dollar, but at the same time, everyone understands, and more than once, the national bank has talked about the fact that today , let's say, the exchange rate is the anchor of macroeconomic stability in our country, and therefore the issue

of exchange rate policy, the issue of fluctuation of the ukrainian hryvnia exchange rate, the national bank devotes a lot - a lot of attention, and despite to the fact that literally a month ago... we changed the exchange rate policy, moving from a fixed exchange rate policy to an exchange rate-controlled floating policy, that is, but we see the hryvnia, well, for example, i read yesterday that the hryvnia strengthened against the dollar , that is, there by 10 kopecks, i looked, that is, it is clear that in some period, perhaps in a day, the hryvnia will weaken by these 10 kopecks, but if you look at this month, for example, then on the cashless market, for example, the hryvnia is better today feels like... on in cash, even, that is, the exchange rate, which was fixed at 36.6, but in fact the business bought there at almost 37, because there was a bank commission, so today the exchange rate for cashless transactions is somewhere at the level, well, if we talk about today, there is 36 ,5, for example, that's why the situation is the same today, it can change, we need to be frank, that is, because

there is a war in our country, it is also to talk about it, and in addition to the actions of the national bank, we are very grateful to our external partners, because in addition to weapons, we we receive significant international financial aid, and according to the national bank's estimates, we will receive 45 billion dollars of external international financial aid this year, and this allows us to receive our gold bullion reserves of the national bank of ukraine at a high level. recently , the national national bank updated its macro forecast, and according to this forecast, the reserves of the national bank for this year are 42 billion dollars. for next year, i'm sorry , the figure seems to be 45 billion dollars. 25th year 45 billion dollars. that is, and this is just the reverse side of the fact that the hryvnia feels good when there are significant gold and currency reserves of the national bank. let's now, we have combined the opinions of experts about food prices, about food prices

, they will rise in the near future, just as experts nod to seasonality, and bread, eggs, milk and meat are on the list for price increases, gradually the price tags will go up vegetables, the price will grow by at least 5% every month until spring, but the price of eggs will become a record, experts predict, for a dozen by the new year they will reach uah 75. as for the trend of the last two months, the prices of some categories... have fallen, according to the state statistics, buckwheat has become cheaper by 50%, vegetables, carrots, cabbage, onions, beets, almost as much, the reason for this is the stagnant harvest and the inaccessibility of the main sales markets in comparison with last year, what can you add to this information that we have summarized by products, or in principle, mr. vasyl, well , their prices have never stood still, especially when the change of seasons begins, that is, there is no need to say that the war is the reason, although. of course she is too. well, that's it about the fact that, look, in your analysis, we saw that the prices of some groups of goods

decreased and significantly decreased, and this confirms the statistics that i also spoke about, and i will repeat again, simply that inflation at the beginning of the year it was 26.6%, by the end of the year, according to the forecasts of the national bank, it will be less than 6%. that is, what is inflation, this, the rise in prices, this is a good indicator for ukraine, for a state that is at war , this is the first, secondly, well, some viewers may tell me, it’s just the same for other products, that is, about which 6 % you speak that is, let me explain, the fact is that when inflation is calculated, that is, it is taken , it includes 400 groups of goods and services , 400 groups, for everything, for everything, for everything, it is clear that it is possible if you buy some groups of goods , it's simple and there was growth , maybe simple, but usually, that is, once again for these 400 groups of goods and services, that is... today, the planned inflation at the end of the year will be 6%. second, i would like to say that

a number of factors contribute to the significant reduction of inflation in our country, which factors are big harvests for our country this year, i.e. the first factor, the second is currency and exchange rate stability, we clearly see it today, well, the third factor i would also call the courts is the constancy of administratively regulated prices, well, utility... gas , water, that is, we know that in connection with the war , that is, the prices for these groups, here services, they do not change, i would also add a fourth direction, this is the tight monetary policy of the national bank during this year, that is, we will remind , which started this year with the discount rate of the national bank at equal to 25%, the national bank has already reduced the discount rate several times and last sunday it reduced it to 16. and its further reduction this year, yes, well, a lower discount

rate, we understand that this should at least create favorable conditions for the economy, and what kind of effect do you expect, and how will ordinary consumers feel it, because loans should be cheaper, so, as far as i understand, if it is now extremely important, well, in general , there should be more funds in the system. yes, you are right, that is, whether the discount rate is lower, well in general, if we take such a short theory, when central banks soften their monetary policy, and simply softening is a reduction in the discount rate, that is, it is good for the economy, because then the value of those resources that are in the banks or in the economy, that is it is becoming more accessible for business , and this means that later on, loan rates will also decrease, and that is why when we started our business program, when i talked with businessmen, they positively assessed the decrease in the discount rate of the national bank, so what are they

they say that they plan to take a loan there. for their investment projects and when the accounting rate was 25, that is, they could not take loans at such an interest rate, because usually loans are even more than the accounting rate, although there is no such direct dependence, but there is a correlation, but when the accounting rate is already at the level of 15 there, that is, you can already take such a loan , that is, even investment projects, that is, well, for example , there is a businessman with whom i spoke, he wants to build a power plant there both for his own needs and for the production of electricity and for sales there to the energy market of ukraine, so this is a positive step, in general , the reduction of the discount rate, and the reduction of the rate simply means that inflation in the state, that is , it is at, well, controlled, this is extremely important, and ee it is a great merit of the national bank, that today we have such macro stability and relatively low inflation, because there are

a lot of different countries today, for example, there is a vivid example, such a one, cherechya, that is, in connection with the erroneous actions of their of the central bank, they are quite high inflation in recent years, last year it was 80%, this year it was 60% , let's stop now, and double devaluation of their national currency, that is, to avoid making such mistakes, once again now we will return to ukraine, we are fighting, and on today we have sufficiently low inflation and currency and exchange rate stability, that is , once again, these are the actions of the national bank of ukraine. thank you, mr. vasyl. vasyl furman, doctor of economic sciences, was in direct contact with us, now we are going to the news, because the end of this hour and the beginning of the next is the traditional appearance of an information service on the air. chevrons
