the state deficit, well, a significant deficit, which is financed by the state budget, well, that is, all the remaining expenses, this is people's lives and the ability to survive on this, to survive for people during the war. mr. olezh, we have literally 2.5 minutes left and two very important questions, as of now, how do you generally assess the probability of this economic crisis, how high are the risks of the threat, i believe that there is tremendous nervousness about whether there will be a financial deficit budget or not, but i am sure that a decision will be made by the european union, and about 50 billion dollars, which are allocated for ukraine in the form of a facility program, they will still be voted, of those 50 billion, which are calculated for 24-27 years, 18 billion dollars will be used to finance the deficit for the next year, and yet i also understand that the united

states of america, in one way or another, will be able to support ukraine precisely in the direction of financing the deficit, i believe that the probability of this is quite high. and one last question, the house foreign affairs committee has approved a bill on the use of funds frozen assets of the russian federation in favor of ukraine. what sums are being discussed in advance, whether it will be easy to get them, how these assets will be transferred and how russia can actually appeal these decisions. russia will of course erase, as they erased from the very beginning, when there was even this discussion , they tried to hide these funds, they tried to show that they are still at their disposal, 700 million, 750 million dollars is the total amount of losses , which they have already caused in ukraine, if you add indirect, such damages, the amount will reach about... 1 trillion dollars, russia has 300-350

billion dollars of frozen assets , their central bank, by the way, another 100-150 billion, these are the funds of their pseudo-lithium and nomenclature, which are also either frozen or tracked and in the near future will also be frozen, i believe that there are two tracks of the use of these funds, the first track is what concerns their gold bullion... assets, that, the profits received on them, they will be transferred to ukraine, and what concerns directly the assets themselves, the body itself of this asset, it will also be transferred, the first will be transferred much faster than the second, it is one thing to use the profit, another is the assets, there is a complete consensus in the united states of america that there should be full compensation from the aggressor, well, that is understandable, language

it is about compensation, if all these funds are not enough , then in the end russia will have to pay colossal reparations, mr. oleg, thank you, thank you for enabling, unfortunately, limited time, thank you for joining, oleg ustenko, adviser of the president of ukraine on economic affairs issues, we talked about where ukraine will get money from next year, because the budget deficit is predicted, and actually about how the frozen assets of the russian federation in the west can help ukraine. ukrainians. they deserve it. thus, ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky reacted to the decision of the european commission, which officially recommends starting negotiations on the accession of ukraine and moldova to the european union. according to him, despite all the difficulties, ukraine is moving forward and expects a political decision from the european council in december. is positive from the european commission, a recommendation to start negotiations regarding the membership of our country in the eu. this is exactly the solution we expected. our

people deserve to be in the european union together with all the free peoples of our europe, and we are doing everything for this, i am sure that there is no alternative for the borders of a democratic europe to correspond to the borders of the european union. ukraine plans to officially start negotiations on joining the european union in early 2024, the deputy head of the office of the president of ukraine told radio svoboda ihor according to him, the ukrainian side will fulfill all the criteria for the start of negotiations by the middle of december this year. currently, the conclusion of the european commission states that ukraine has fully fulfilled four conditions, and three more need to be finalized. our european correspondent olena abramovych will tell you the details. the president of the european commission began her announcement about granting ukraine candidate status by mentioning that 10 years ago, a revolution of dignity began in ukraine. protests began on the maidan,

where people were shot for what they were threw eu flags on their shoulders, and now, 10 years later, this is a historic day. because today the european commission recommends that the european council open accession negotiations with ukraine. the struggle continues, and despite the russian aggression, deep reforms are taking place in ukraine - said ursula fonderlyajen and specified that kyiv has completed 90% of the steps necessary to start negotiations on membership in the european union. the list of seven blocks of tasks, the ukrainian authorities received that year in june, along with the candidate status. complete four of them completely. three more are needed to finalize the european commission is convinced that kyiv should have time to complete all this by march 2024. therefore, it recommends that the leaders of the 27 member states take a political decision on the start of membership negotiations already at the nearest summit in december. in the joint

eu enlargement package, which will discuss not only the fate of kyiv, but also a total of 10 countries, including moldova, candidate status for georgia, the western balkans, etc. and if the eu council makes a political decision and says: yes, we accept the recommendations of the commissions and start negotiations about admission, then the work can be started immediately, this is a technical issue. what's next? there are several reforms that ukraine is still carrying out, they need to be completed, and this is clearly stated in our recommendation, and by march we will report on progress, but we can start immediately when the european council gives the green light to its decision. if the european council says yes to ukraine on december 15, this very evening, a delegation will leave brussels for kyiv to start technical preparations for the negotiations, assured a high-ranking official of the european commission, insisting that the european commission recommends to the council the eu will start negotiations with ukraine

without additional conditions, and in fact, they will be able to start after another similar round of approvals, the european commission's assessment of progress with reforms and approval by the european council, at least this conclusion can be drawn, according to the president of the european commission. the remaining reforms are already being implemented, which is good, and the european commission highly appreciates these efforts. and on this basis, we recommended the council to start accession negotiations. we also recommend that the council adopt a framework for negotiations after how ukraine will carry out the current reforms, we will do about them. assessment until march 2024 . as far as reforms are concerned, ukraine is expected to strengthen anti-corruption legislation , increase nabu's staffing schedule and allow nazk to check property acquired before taking office in the declarations of civil servants. the european commission

also recommends adopting a law on lobbying, as in the eu, to combat oligarchs. and the last demand from hungary is to reform the legislation on national minorities, in accordance with the recommendations of the venice commission. hungary is not happy with the increase in the amount of ukrainian language in school curricula for national minorities, a step taken by the ukrainian government after the occupation of crimea and parts of donbas. and by the way, the european commission says that they will not pay attention to the implementation of the recommendations of the vinnitsa commission regarding the russian language, and there are some. when asked by journalists what will happen if ukraine does not have time to implement these remaining reforms by march, the european commission answered in front of perkonani that kyiv will have time, and the beginning of the transition is another long stage, which usually stretches over years and will depend on specific agreements with member states, from brussels olena abramovich, marek hajduk, radio liberty. you are watching

the freedom of mornings project. we only have important topics and important guests, as you were able to see from the very beginning, so don't miss any further. the center for countering disinformation says that there are many fake videos going viral in which the commander-in-chief of the zsu zaluzhny seems to call on citizens to go to rallies against the current government and asks not to give him gifts for the death of his assistant gennady chastyakovov. how popular such fakes are, how dangerous they are, and most importantly, how not to fall for misinformation, we will ask in detail those who are fighting this phenomenon. two raids on border guards at checkpoints in different cities of ukraine at once, and this is only for the last one. a week, and in october, due to a road accident at a military checkpoint during curfew , they were beaten to death. what most often causes such accidents, and how to resist it. i thank you for your activity in the chat, share your thoughts in the comments about events in ukraine and the world, as well as topics

that interest you, maybe we will discuss them in the next broadcasts. commander-in-chief zaluzhny , who calls on citizens to go to rallies against the current government, or the first... olena zelska, who engages in human trafficking through a charitable foundation, are fakes that have been actively circulating on social networks these days. the center for combating disinformation at the national security and defense council explains that russia is using such fakes. allegedly seeks to sow panic among the population of ukraine and reassure people that split between the government and the military. now you see a video on the screens, it shows an alleged hacker, who speaks in a hacker-like voice and accuses the president of launching a counteroffensive and even killing an aide. and it's not real - say analysts, it was created with the help of devfake technology and spread in tiktok, x social network and telegram. the author of this fake, say the disinformation center, is the telegram account of radio trukha. daria zarivna, adviser to the head of the president's office, told about another russian ipso. she

reported that russian bot farms would allegedly spread fake material that olena zelska's foundation was involved in human trafficking schemes. according to the authors of this fake, they created bolvanka's website, this is a direct quote, and spread this fake with an eye on the western audience. they find photos of ukrainian children and write appropriate texts. a similar comment even appeared under the daughter's photo. that valery zaluzhny will be dismissed at the request of defense minister umierov wrote on his facebook page the day before, volodymyr aryev, deputy of the eu. he referred to his own sources, but later published in the post, later, without apology, but wrote a rebuttal. he said that many other sources did not confirm this and he hopes that no one will fire the meritorious person. the minister of defense of ukraine, rustam umyerov, reacted to this and wrote that this was an information leak and thus unclean. politicians are trying to split ukrainian society, this was also a direct quote, is this a sign

of disinformation or not, we will ask our guest further, i only noted that the center countering disinformation previously predicted that russian propagandists and russian propaganda could soon use the topic of a split between the government and the military, the futility of a counteroffensive, and the ineffectiveness of sanctions against russia. alina bonddarchuk, head of the information collection and monitoring department of the center for countering disinformation at the nsdc, joins the broadcast at this moment. i welcome you. good day. according to your data, through which channels does the russian side most often launch disinformation campaigns? is it social media? no, it's messenger, telegram. why most often? because it is not controlled in any way, it is not marked in any way, and its owner is a russian. this is absolutely simple logic. please tell me.

the story that was so actively discussed in the last two days with the post of mr. ariyev, a people's deputy, about the possible resignation of the laborer, that there is already a request for his dismissal, allegedly, and then the refutation of this information, this can be considered misinformation, is it possible that this is a mistake, what are the signs in general disinformation, how to detect it? ah, it's misinformation, uh, why is it misinformation, because maybe someone somewhere, or paid someone, or maybe someone heard something on the sidelines and decided to be the first, and this , our deputies have such a tendency, they like to hear something, something somewhere, to be the first, and then, if they hit the bar, apologize profusely and hope for the fact that no, no boomerang will fly, what are the signs of misinformation? first, uh, and what was in this message, this is a reference to an anonymous authority, that is, a person heard some... without specifics, like someone should shoot someone someday,

but i don't have an exact date, but i said someone close to the president's office there, for example, a reference to an anonymous authority, this is one with one point, so the most important in detecting disinformation, please tell me what are the biggest threats posed by disinformation or a disinformation campaign that is launched, well, give at least , i don't know, one of the examples of... those fakes that have been launched that you find threatening and why? in general, in the history of our war, russia and ukraine, well, maybe in the last month, well, for example, the story with mr. zaluzhny, which we talked about today, uh, the story with mr. zaluzhnym, it amused us very, very much, in the sense that i even wanted to correct you a little in the introduction to the video itself, that one comment amused us.

which readers left for us on instagram, and under the deepfake zelensky, our people wrote that how could it be zelensky, oh, hardworking, i apologize if he died in the summer, and why and why is yanukovych speaking in his voice, he is so ridiculously glued together , glued video, for what it was done, for what eh, so that the audience simply understood and listeners, and there is - the general budget of russia, which is allocated annually there for certain methods of disinforming the population, that of their own population, that of our population, that of the western population, these are three. points on which funds are allocated, dip-fakes, creation of deep-fakes - this is one of the points, that is, there is a team of people in russia, maybe, maybe they are even territorially not in russia, to whom funds are thrown and they will simply work out this series of dip- of fakes, which should at a certain moment

shoot and ignite some kind of panic in ukraine, so that people think that everything is in ukraine is not... controlled so that people succumb to these calls , like, they say, get up and throw off your power, as it once was with yanukovych, they may think that this is one and the same person, i don't know, judging by the voice they have chosen, and in this way they think that they are misinforming our population and achieving some kind of coup, i don't know, maybe so, so we have to understand that this is just...' making money, and you there is an understanding, but who from the russian side oversees this process, i don't know, there is some russian ministry information, who supervises this process, the people who supervise this process sit directly in the kremlin, the main actor of the russian disinformation machine is putin and we all understand that, all the tasks come,

maybe not from him, he is not such a creative center and brain storm that produces. everything, but it is clear that there are people who are responsible for these directions, it is 100% , we know that there is even a training school for disinformation specialists, we know the names of disinformation professors, but unfortunately, this is until the end of martial law , military situation and everything else, this is secret information, the first large-scale war of russia against ukraine. please tell me, i don't know how many groups of these fakes there are, in general, fakes were counted in your center, and do you come out with such a count, or just by fighting each of them? eh, i won’t say that we are engaged in a struggle with each of them, we singled out the grant of narratives that russia follows and they basically do not

change anything else, the very first grant of narratives that we heard back in the spring of the 22nd year is b laboratories , that the united states, together with ukraine is developing bioweapons here, birds, geese, chickens, then they talked about narcotics for the armed forces, that they simply cannot be a priori strong and so cool in our country, they are pumped with some kind of narcotic liquid and substance, then the story of nuclear blackmail followed, they included a story about the fact that they have a kernel and we are all here from pipil. into nuclear ashes, as medvedev said, we all remember that, it was closer to may 9, then there was a story about, a story about fatigue from ukraine began, and now they are also actively using this narrative that europe was tired of ukraine, the world was tired of ukraine, then, when the active

transfer of weapons had already begun, the narrative that ukraine is not, how to say? an unreliable partner of europe, we need to sell weapons to us, then it all transformed into the fact that we resell weapons, when the first trophy samples appeared in the hands of the russians, they were already talking about the fact that we were selling, as it were, those weapons, but then they already started with to be more, a higher grade campaign for the sale of children, it concerns, ms. simply was the sale of children. they haven't taken elena zelska there yet, they're still there no, they didn't mix things up, we had the sale of children, since russia is a paradise for children, how can they do it, they position that the russians are saving our children, but here, it's just a dead end, we have it, it's some

i don’t know, extortion, and like, what, children in ukraine have nothing to do at all and they have such a logic, in conclusion, ms. alina, i’m sorry, don’t arrive in so much time, in conclusion, the last question, regarding blocking for example these channels , on which propaganda is spread, how you work in this direction, or who is in this direction do you work, does the state of ukraine cooperate, maybe the headquarters of messengers, i don't know social networks there, how does it happen? plug, those messengers that are territorially located and owners that are territorially located in europe, in america, there are no problems at all, we do not work there to block, don’t think, ukraine is not razkomnadzor, we can find some information there, for example , ask her to mark or block her there, if she is really not... all the damage is there with marks, for example, where marked some military units, but telegram is a different story, the russian owner, he signed in the 20th year in agreement with

roskomnadzor that he would contribute to the fight against terrorism, that is, with us, and since then we began to see, in principle, how telegram began to develop, these anonymous channels and everything else, so with telegram, with blocking, so far no way, thank you. thank you for this introduction, alina bonddarchuk, this is the head of the information collection and monitoring department, the center for countering disinformation at the national security and defense council of ukraine, we were talking about fakes that according to the center, it is launched by the russian side in order to somehow influence ukrainian society. in transcarpathia, in the village of yanoshi, a car hit a 21-year-old border guard who was on duty at a checkpoint while overtaking, an audi driver hit a man while he was on the road, the border guard was hospitalized with serious injuries, the driver's alcohol test showed a negative result, he was arrested . this is the second such accident in a week. on monday, a military border guard was beaten at

a checkpoint in kyiv. the capital police reported that the accident happened in the evening in desnyansk district the car was moving from the city of boryspil in the direction of kyiv. according to the police, the soldier was crossing the road when a renault driver ran over her. the woman was hospitalized with injuries, and the police started criminal proceedings. drager at the scene showed that. the man behind the wheel was sober. two weeks earlier , a soldier who was hit at a checkpoint at the entrance to kyiv died, the honda driver, due to heavy fog, had to brake sharply to avoid an accident with a truck, lost control and ran into a soldier. he died on the spot. according to oleksiy bilushytskyi, the deputy head of the patrol police department of ukraine, the checkpoint is not a place of concentration of accidents, however, such events are reported more often, although he added that the checkpoints are additionally equipped, or they were more visible. maryana reva, the spokeswoman of the ministry, is also an important topic that we want to talk about on our broadcast, and the spokeswoman of the ministry of internal

affairs of ukraine was supposed to be with us today, but her colleague, anton strashko, is the deputy director of the department of communications of the ministry of internal affairs. i welcome you. congratulations. anton, do you have statistics, perhaps as of now, on how many road accidents have occurred at roadblocks since the beginning of a large-scale war, in which military personnel were injured there. border guards, policemen, that is , those people who were on duty, and is the number of these traffic accidents increasing? yes, unfortunately, in the last few days we have several incidents related to road traffic accidents that occurred during the passage of roadblocks, in general, to date, as a result of road traffic accidents, unfortunately, 11 , employees. these are the police and servicemen of the armed forces were killed and 30 seven were wounded, we have such data, to date, for which

period, just to clarify once again, this is the beginning of a full-scale war, which most often, antone, becomes the cause of such road accidents, is there any understanding , what is the cause of this accident, i don't know, drunk drivers, lack of lighting at these roadblocks, bad weather, maybe there, i don't know, it's dark time of day, that's what. as you noted in the introduction to the inclusion, the last two traffic accidents occurred, previously precisely because of violations traffic rules, the police are currently investigating these criminal proceedings, in transcarpathia the driver overtook a car that had stopped, actually for inspection, if we are talking about the desnian district of kyiv, then the driver hit a border guard, at the place of duty at the checkpoint, and at that time, when she crossed the road at a pedestrian crossing,

if we speak in general about cases of traffic accidents at roadblocks, most often it is a violation of traffic rules on the part of drivers, we are talking about non-observance of speed limits, disregarding the road conditions, in particular the weather conditions, and regarding exactly when these traffic accidents occur, if we are talking about the curfew, and some of them occur even then, in almost all cities of the country, a curfew has already been implemented there , except for certain regions, i don't know how it should contribute to the fact that the number should be smaller, or on the contrary not to contribute, but in this context, do law enforcement officers draw any parallels? as you remember, since the beginning of the full-scale war, roadblocks were set up in almost every small villages, in each settlement, their work was ensured by policemen and military personnel and local security forces, then in a few weeks,

roadblocks were set up at junctions of routes, if you can call it that, on the main sections of roads, and at the entrances and exits to cities , at the same time, these roadblocks were already equipped with appropriate traffic signs , the lighting of these roadblocks was improved, so that when drivers move in the dark, how to protect both drivers and the service... who ensure the operation of the roadblock there, and now in fact, every day the police check the presence of these warning signs, the lighting is sufficient so that crossing roadblocks at night is much safer, but we once again call on drivers to follow the rules for crossing roadblocks, in particular, when approaching

a roadblock, there are always warning signs ahead checkpoint, it is necessary to reduce the speed, in fact, it is necessary to reduce the speed, turn on the emergency alarm, turn off the light of the headlights, so that the policemen and military personnel who are on roadblocks, they saw that the driver understood the road signs, he orients himself by the fact that a roadblock is waiting for him ahead, it is also necessary to prepare documents certifying the identity of the driver, passengers, documents for the vehicle... when communicating, clearly answer questions, do not try to get out of the car without an invitation, well, if you are invited to get out of the car and open the trunk, do it, but do not be behind the back of a policeman or a military officer, so that he does not react as a danger, actually after permission to continue driving, after verification,

you can continue driving. but not to start the movement with a sharp increase in speed, that is, gradually, as we stopped, so we start the movement, and again, the most important rule, which is obvious, to observe courtesy and mutual respect when crossing roadblocks in communication with policemen and military personnel. anton, and in conclusion , we have literally 40 seconds, in general the effectiveness of these checkpoints, it is still needed in fishing towns, where there are no hostilities, conditionally, because there is also a curfew, there is a bill that was registered to cancel it altogether, and in this context there are also discussions, roadblocks, they are needed now, as i said, the number of roadblocks has been substantially reduced, it is me i think they see in different regions of ukraine, regarding the expediency of their location, the country is, in fact, in a state of war, hostilities and roadblocks are being conducted, their main task is to detect potential criminals dangerously.

individuals, subversive intelligence groups, and actually safe regions unfortunately now no, russia is doing everything to destabilize the situation in ukraine, the minister of internal affairs announced less than a month ago about the detention of a saboteur in the kharkiv region who blew up gas stations and railway tracks, i.e. checkpoints and service on them are designed to make our country as safe as possible , in particular tv regions. thank you very much, anton, for enabling and explaining. anton srashko, this is the deputy director of the communication department of the ministry of internal affairs of ukraine, a guest of our broadcast, we talked about road accidents that lately, they are increasingly occurring at roadblocks and in which law enforcement officers and soldiers suffer. each of your likes and subscriptions to the youtube channel of radio liberty. this is a plus in the treasury of ukrainian-language quality content. then i invite you to subscribe, if you haven't done so yet. we will see you tomorrow. for today, this is all about the svoboda
