unuta approved the gradual reduction of liquefied gas purchases. good news: only now it is necessary for these restrictions to be implemented and work. well, it is important that the ukrainian energy sector is being restored after the enemy attacks, the main overhaul of the energy sector has been resumed, a block has been carried out at one of the thermal power plants, the company said . the power plant was also damaged by shelling. that year, it has now added power to the ukrainian power system. but they renewed the protests and expanded the demands. polish carriers are blocking again today checkpoint yagodin dorogusk. local farmers intend to join them - polish mass media reported . the strikers say that ukraine needs to suspend deportations to the territory.

eu sugar, according to the leader of the protesters, the protests can last until march 8. currently, 200 trucks are waiting in line at the border. after the resumption of this blockade today, the number of vans may increase. unfortunately, this issue has not yet been resolved. well, we continue to talk with oleg penzeny, the executive director of the economic discussion club. he joins the air. good evening. good evening, i am sincerely glad to see you, mr. oleg, well, last week there was fresh, hot and important long-awaited news that ukraine received another share of the loan under the program of the international monetary fund for 900 million dollars, it is nice, but i just need your professional word to explain to the audience that not all the money that our state receives from international partners is grants, it is non-refundable, it is charity money, it is also credit, which... need certain solutions, not

only interest payments for debt service, but also need reforms, so, giving funds under the extended financing program, the international monetary fund requires a number of reforms, well, it caught my eye that our state should find additional tax or non-tax revenues, this is half a percent of gdp and the price of the issue is uah 40 billion, it seems to me that both the verkhovna rada and the government have already... searched, are searching, continue to search for these revenues , where to get them, and whether we will fulfill this structural beacon, as they say in the imf ? and i i think we will do it, we just need to understand that we take money from the international monetary fund at 7% per annum, well, so that we understand that it is very expensive there now, that is all, that is, the general risks that ukraine has today have led to the fact that even the international financial organization gives us under 7%.

the next moment, you are absolutely right, they demand an increase in state budget revenues by uah 40 billion. well, as a rule, this happens due to increased tax pressure on business. probably, this is waiting for us next year. in addition, there are requirements restarting bep, the bureau of economic security, there are requirements for a clear separation of functions between bep and naboo, there are a bunch of other requirements regarding to anti-corruption courts, the creation of a separate judicial unit that will accept lawsuits against state bodies, the cabinet of ministers, the ministry of departments, well, that is, there is a huge pile of new beacons, in principle they exist, they do not contradict the interests of ukraine and ukrainians, so in this situation, i do not see any extremely big problems in this regard, but it is necessary to understand that nothing is free... it happens and

you have to remember one more thing: for next year, we have to give the international monetary fund something in order, well, so that you and i understand at the level of 3 billion dollars for previously taken loans and for interest on those that exist now, so in this situation it is also very difficult and not free, do the americans give us through the guarantee mechanism of the world bank, and the europeans everything they give up to... under a loan and 18 billion and preferential for 30 years, 10 years there is a vacation in the first payments, but it will be necessary to give it in 30 years, calculate , so there are also problems, well, indeed, there is an opinion that at the expense of funds from the international monetary fund and the world bank, without other infusions, the state can last at least a few months, well, if we talk about this these structural beacons, about reforms that await ukraine in the next year. it is interesting that

the state property fund has already announced next year that it is going to sell more than a thousand such objects that only bring losses to the state, indeed one of the structural beacons of the international monetary fund is privatization, revenues from privatization, this is the management of state property, now in the conditions of war, we could not effectively manage state property before that, will it be possible now and is it really one of the sources of income for the state budget? oh, listen, we need 1.5 trln, the state property fund will, at best, succeed if it sells everything, what it plans to do, well, count 3-4 billion there, and so it gives a maximum of 500 million to the budget, this is tears in relation to what is really needed, well, really, so i think, not a fund, not a fund of state property the only thing, mr. olezh, is how much we need to tighten the belt for small and medium-sized businesses, now the european union through grant

programs, well, is doing a powerful job with entrepreneurs, new industries are opening, well, especially processing, but it will really be possible to rake. this situation with the filling of the coffers next year, especially small business, what is your opinion? listen, what is happening today with the blocking of borders is precisely a blow to farming, to small and medium-sized businesses, and it is there in those trucks that the products of small and medium-sized businesses, which should be in europe, should fill the ukrainian budget, but it is in the queue and it is not known when it will pass, that is, this is a way of fighting. would with a ukrainian competitor by non-competitive methods, and this is an extremely big problem, because our accession to the european union will seriously depend on its reality. for the euro-optimists, i want to remind you that

turkey has been in the status in which ukraine found itself recently since 1998, and its promotion to the european union is not fast, so it is always necessary. that there are ukrainian interests, it must be followed very clearly, solving first of all issues related to the entry into the european market, the place of ukraine in the european division of labor, that is , those things must be discussed as much as possible taking into account the ukrainian interest, taking into account the interests of ukrainian business, ukrainian small enterprises, ukrainian farmers . thank you for your expert assessment, really, without money from international donors, without activism. tion of ukrainian economic forces , it is difficult to fill the budget. oleg penzyn, executive director of the economic discussion group the club was in touch. i keep talking about money in wartime. indeed, ukrainian farmers have now done the impossible, everything, the impossible. in one year , the cultivation of vegetables destroyed by the occupiers was restored.

these are the conclusions drawn by analysts of the eastfruit project. we are talking about completely covering the losses of agricultural production in the southern regions of the kherson region. the sector also recovered. despite the fact that the enemy almost completely destroyed the vegetable growing in the region, which had been created for decades, by blowing up the dam of kakhovska g., destroyed irrigation systems, fields were mined, now the production of vegetables is really rising to the pre-war level, experts say, well , just for comparison, in the 30 years since the collapse of the ussr, russia has not been able, having fertile lands, to ensure the cultivation of vegetables, vegetables, fruits precisely for its population. they don't have such paces, experts say. but despite everything, since the beginning of the year, ukraine has sold a little more than 19 billion dollars worth of agricultural products. this is 7% less than last year, said the deputy director of the institute of agrarian economy mykola pugachev. he analyzed

the customs data. however, despite this, the agricultural sector still maintains a dominant position in the overall export of our country, but there are challenges , about which oleg penzyn also spoke about the fact that blocking the border prevents the growth of exports of vegetables, fruits, food, in general, and also poses a threat to the state budget, due to the destruction caused by russian shelling, it will be impossible to restore the avdiiv coke plant, ceo of metinvest yuriy ryzhenkov said in an interview with forbes. unlikely the plant will have to be rebuilt. in the form in which it was before the invasion - says the top manager. let me remind you that the largest consumers of this enterprise, the customers were azovstal, zavodilicha. the ceo of metinvest adds that the company plans to restore azov-stal after the liberation of the territories, but it

will be a completely different plant, indeed , modernization will take place in the ukrainian large-scale industry after the victory, and it will already be modern, not the same as it was in... times still in the soviet union, when they were being built such powerful large enterprises as the avdiiv coke plant. well, this is the end of the column about money during the war, but a big broadcast is going on, there will be more to come, watch us. shakhtar donetsk found out who they will play against in one of the finals of the europa league. as a result of the draw, the opponent of the miners was the french olympique marseille. according to the format, the third-placed teams in the champions league groups, such as shakhtar , will play head-to-head matches. against the second-placed clubs in the europa league quartets. marseille became second in group b. the winners

norwegian national team, 31-28. in the first half, the game was even, and only before the break did the french women pull away from the score. in the second half of the match, france managed to maintain a small advantage. thus, the norwegians failed to defend the title of world champions, and france won the world championship for the third time in history. the danish national team became the bronze medalist of the tournament. dunks in the match for the third place were given to the shved. 28:27 thought that yevgeny would tell, he didn't told , andriy trubin, the goalkeeper of benfica, is now called the ukrainian wall in european football, who yesterday simply demonstrated a magical, magical level of football in the frame, i hope that he will play the same way for the national team in the spring, so we have finished with sports news, well, now about the weather in general , natalka didenko will tell us in detail during this week. ms. natalya, good evening, i would like to speak to you.

of the earth's magnetic field, and now for your attention is a prognostic chart, from which you will see that here... . you can already see that at the beginning of the day at night there will be a certain activation, the magnetic activity will be more , well, i won’t say that it is stormy, but it will be noticeable, so please pay attention to your well-being and in the evening do not greatly stir up your body with excesses, well, let’s move on to the weather itself, what it will be like tomorrow, december 19, in every region of ukraine, we will traditionally start with the western regions, so tomorrow in the western regions. of ukraine, well, i want to say right away that it will be warm, as you can see, +4 +9°, but there will be rain in places, it will not be so total, small, but none the less, and also gusty the wind, so uncomfortable, will be up to 15-18 m/s in the west of ukraine. in the north

, rain is also expected in some areas of zhytomyr region, kyiv region, chernihiv region, and sumy region tomorrow. as you can see, the maximum air temperature is high, +2, wet snow may fly a little in sumy oblast, be careful. cloudy weather will prevail in the east of ukraine tomorrow, but without significant precipitation. the maximum air temperature during the day is about 3°c. in the central part of ukraine also, without any special precipitation, dense cloudiness, well, maybe some mist or light rain will appear from this dense cloudiness. the air temperature is also high, as in most regions of ukraine, +3 -6°. no precipitation is expected in the southern part of ukraine tomorrow, i won't say that such a total air mass will be dry, because both the fog and humidity are quite high, but the temperature is +7 +9° in the south of ukraine. well, in kyiv , the weather is expected to be cloudy tomorrow in the capital, with a little rain in some places, but warm, +3 +5 +3

+6° and gusty wind is expected in kyiv tomorrow. well, he is uncomfortable, but agree that the combination of such a high air temperature and such a gusty and quite strong wind reminds us a lot of march and the air smells like real spring, literally in one or two sentences i want to say that the whole week will be mostly warm, humid, 22-23 a little is expected cooling down, just before the holidays in the evening, but on christmas, december 25, it will still be warm, that is, with small fluctuations... relatively warm weather is expected in ukraine in the near future. well, this kind of information is not very comforting, but it is expected, she was understandable, but you know, such bad news just comes and you have to live somehow and not just live and act. so,

the pentagon is putting pressure on the us congress to allocate aid to ukraine. the pentagon, headed by lloyd austin, well understands what a lack of ammunition and weapons in general can lead to for ukraine, they understand it perfectly. so, already on december 30, in fact, in 12 days , the us defense ministry will run out of funds to replace the weapons sent to ukraine. this was stated by pentagon comptroller michael mccourt, bloomberg reports. and the publication clarifies that, in fact, the pentagon for the first time indicated the exact date when it will exhaust its aid funds. that congress will not approve new funding, the ministry of defense spends the last billion on the purchase of new weapons, well , on, on, a big question mark, straighten it into an exclamation mark, this is the task of american politicians first of all, but also ours, well, thank you were with us, it was the big ether program, i say goodbye to you until tomorrow, take care and stay with

espresso, good evening, we are from ukraine. by by the results of november, the espresso tv channel took the first place among information broadcasting channels. for the eighth month in a row, we are the first. welcome to the time of news on the air of the tv channel. this november we turned 10 years old. we have updated the design and sound, we continue the saturday political club, khrystyna yatskiv and vitaly portnikov. our values ​​and ukrainian point of view remain unchanged. stay tuned for espresso updates and thank you for your trust. i congratulate you. this is svoboda live on radio svoboda. we have already approached. the following shots may shock you. news from the scene. live attacks kamikaze drones. political analytics. objectively and meaningfully. there is no political season, exclusive interviews, reports from the hottest points of the front. freedom life - frankly and impartially.

you draw your own conclusions.

proceeds from the performance will go to support the armed forces of ukraine. we help the armed forces as much as we can, this is the most important thing now. we invest in victory, and it will surely come. the marathon continues, stay tuned. chevrons approaching victory. i am

a uav operator. i save lives and teach others. i destroy enemy shaheds during airstrikes . i am a driver. i am an infantryman, our tasks are different, the goal is the same, choose your specialty and fill out the questionnaire on the national guard website, together we will win, for many years of working with the kremlin prop.

the idea that it all started with putin's elite overestimating their own strength, because when you think you are stronger than you really are, you make corresponding promises, but as you understand, it is not possible to implement them, after that it arose... and so that everyone understood how such a story was. so, fifth place it works in practice, we will start a fresh ranking of russian fakes of the week just with

a ranking and a fresh disgrace from margarita simonyan. we listen and smile. in 3 days, kiev could already be at the very beginning of world war ii, but it would no longer be kiev, but only memories. but the fact that we do not need such a victory. why do we need a dusty kyiv? he didn't have much land for us, did he? here is the dusty one, why do we need him? seven understandably, it turns out, the russian army could easily capture the ukrainian capital, simply. putin did not want to be recognized, he forbade it destroy the city our shrines there, which have nothing to do with ukrainians, we must wipe our own shrines into dust. i am very glad and grateful to our commander-in-chief and the army that we did not go down this path. i banned it, it's okay, but in zerpin buchya and barodyanka and other cities near kyiv, this ban obviously worked, or is it another margarita? we don't have enough land, right?

is that erased?

having destroyed bahmud with an area of ​​41 km, russia occupied it for 10 months, and according to the words , it is beautiful only with the killed, lost on this direction of 20 thousand people. the head of the russian pmc , wagner yevgeny prigozhin, admitted on wednesday that in the protracted battles for the city of bakhmud in the east of ukraine, his military formations lost more than 2,000 fighters, half of whom were conscripts imprisoned in russian prisons. chose 5000 prisoners. of which about 20% died. they died exactly as many as those who came to us under a contract. the area of ​​kiev is 839 km, that is, the capital of ukraine is more than 20 bahmuts. and while we are still silent about heights and bridges, what three days can we be talking about. kyiv could be in 3 days

already at the very beginning of svo. and this is a classic example that explains the nature of most russian fakes. well, we are moving on and in the fourth place in the rating of russian fakes of the week there is another similar story. and also about unfulfilled promises, now the year 2023 is ending and few people remember how many times the deep-seated people were promised on television not just a victory over ukraine this year, but also the collapse of nato and the european union. russia will win this battle, because we are on the side of god, and god is on the side of russia, and naturally, after this war ends, the nato bloc will cease to exist in the form in which we

know it. if someone doesn't have enough. we can still show similar fantasies of ramzan kadyrov until the end of 2023. all the tasks set as part of the special military operation in ukraine will be fulfilled, the head of chechnya ramzan kadyrov expressed this opinion, although some say three years, but i believe that by the end of the year, we , that today's task was completed with 100%. aura patriots listened and believed, but the hour x is the same is approaching, but it promises... it doesn't even smell like victory, what does propagandists do in such a situation? apparently they will try to pull an owl on the globe and slightly postpone the terms of victory, here is an epic fake about the alleged concert of the russian singer shaman in kyiv. the site for selling tickets in kyiv started selling shaman tickets for april 20, they know something, by april 20 kyiv will be...
