good evening, we are from ukraine. let's go back and the great ater continues, oleksandr morchevko joins the conversation. today is the economic results of the week. alexander, congratulations. congratulations to the audience, thank you vasyl. so, the next few minutes are about international. assistance to ukraine and about sanctions against russia, i will tell you everything in detail in a moment, wait a moment. i am oleksandr morshchevka. greetings, this is a column about money during the war with economic summaries of the week. and important news: the european union this week approved the 12th package of sanctions against russia, which includes, in particular, a ban on the import of russian diamonds, as well as.

the aggressor prohibits the aggressor from selling secret goods and technologies through third countries. also on the list, no trade, no trade in chemicals, lithium batteries, thermostats, drone engines, machines, the eu at the same time limited the import of pig iron from russia and approved a gradual reduction in purchases of liquefied gas. the european community has also strengthened the requirements for compliance with the oil price ceiling. well, regarding the price ceiling, vasyl, we know that it works, although it limits certain revenues of the kremlin, but still, in particular, greek shipowners continue to transport bloody barrels to customers with their tankers, there was even a story that the united states also received certain tankers with russian barrels, unfortunately, to strengthen really in the 12th the package needed requirements and to monitor...

compliance with sanctions is necessary, who managed to earn money until there were some strict restrictions on cheap oil, cheap gas, like turkey, by the way, for example, the same one, well, as if those guys and now there will be some, well, we'll see, but in any case. well , along with economic restrictions and sanctions , international monetary aid continues. ukraine received macro-financial support from the european union this week. these funds will be used to support the economy and social obligations at the beginning of the next one 2024 - announced prime minister denys shmyhal. in general, the financial support of the european union reached 18 billion euros this year. and the swiss government has allocated an additional 12 million swiss francs to help ukrainians in winter, the money will be directed to non- governmental organizations, these funds have already made it possible to repair a thousand apartments and houses , to restore heating in almost 1,500 houses,

houses in the front-line areas, in general , the total volume of investments that switzerland directed in by winter, ukraine reached the mark of 26. swiss francs, which is approximately 30 million dollars well, this week germany provided ukraine with a winter aid package worth 8 million euros. the funds will be used to finance energy sources for parts of energy equipment. also, part of the amount will be used to support projects of ukraine's transition to green ecological energy. this week, the government allocated additional aid to the regions affected by the war, the local self-government bodies will spend the received funds on the salaries of state employees and the payment of communal services. as of mid-december, the state provided more than uah 178 billion to the local budget.

the government promises to fulfill all social obligations by the end of the year. let's listen to the direct speech. the second priority is social security, more than 473 billion hryvnias, or 18% of all expenditures , were directed to pensions and assistance to our people who need it most. we finance these articles in full . and the united states of america will cut off banks around the world from its financial system for violating anti-russian sanctions. the relevant decree was signed by president joe biden. so banks. turkey, armenia, georgia, kazakhstan, kyrgyzstan, china, and the united arab emirates, through which payments are made for gray supplies, which then go to russia, will not be able to work with the dollar. in china, because of this situation, the mass refusal of local financial institutions to make payments

in dubious transactions has already begun. chinese economists believe that such operations can become a basis for american restrictions, and do not want to give an excuse and quarrel with the west. states, well, an effective mechanism, in my opinion, absolutely, in the pocket - this is the most painful blow, well, if we talk about what can affect on the activities of these or other countries , because money, well, it is always tangible, if only those who return the frozen russian assets to ukraine for the reconstruction of our state were still in their pockets, so that russia would pay for it already with a wallet, well, today we i heard the russians screaming about this, they are very no-no-no, you can't even think, think about such a thing, this... just yuriem said that they, but this only shows that they are really afraid, well because when a person knows that he can somehow influence the fact that these money was not allocated, she does not decide , she just influences, and when she cannot , well, the only thing left is to be afraid, and if you give it away, then we, well, what about us, yes, nothing, we worked on the legal

mechanism for a long time , to really legally transfer these frozen assets for the reconstruction of ukraine, but something recently, lately, it seems to me, just the world community... waits where the war will turn and expects to actually apply these deeds, and it seems to me that after the new year, maybe we will have the first stories that these or other estates, those or other yachts, or certain or other funds, for example , of the russian central bank, which are currently frozen, will go to ukraine, i want to believe, i only hope here, it is like in sports, the last training before the final match of the team is held in closed mode, well, so that the adversary... can't see what they're doing, as well , i think maybe it's just gotten to the point where you have to do certain invisible things that will already be deadly for the russians and effective for us, well maybe, maybe so , but in any case, i think that the work is her continues, well, we summarize the results of the months of the last year, and from august

to today, more than 302 bulk carriers left the sea corridor, they exported the products of ukrainian farmers and a number of other cargoes, headed their way. these cargoes reach 24 countries of the world, according to the ministry of reconstruction, we are talking about a total cargo of 10 million tons. the work is currently ongoing, despite the systematic shelling by the enemy of the infrastructure in... at the same time , insurance issues for shipowners remain unresolved, rates, rates are still high levels, negotiations are currently underway on their reduction with the support of international business, the ministry of reconstruction says, there is hope that exports by sea will grow next year. and the important news of this week is that the service for buying and selling cars has been launched in the app. according to the authors of the service, the transaction can be completed in... 15 minutes, and after a certain time, the new technical passport and license plates will be sent to the customer

by mail. you will no longer need to visit the service center of the ministry of internal affairs and pay for services. all that is necessary is to follow the prompts in application and certify the validity of the contract with a signature. winning news appeared this week from international analysts, ukrainian farmers have done the impossible in just one year. restored the cultivation of vegetables destroyed by the occupiers. these are the conclusions from the analysts of the east fruit project. we are talking about covering the losses of agricultural production in the southern regions of the kherson region, which are currently occupied by russia. also , the sector recovered despite the fact that the enemy almost completely destroyed decades of traditional vegetable cultivation in the south, blew up the kakhovskaya hessian dam, destroyed the irrigation system, mined the fields. for comparison, experts add that russia, in more than 30 years since the collapse of the ussr, having unlimited land resources, has simply not been able

to grow vegetables and fruits in sufficient quantities to simply cover domestic consumption, to simply saturate the market with its vegetables, and consumers , the muscovites did not have a problem, well, they are not able to do this, to predict, in the kremlin, vasyl, firstly, how the land is such that it does not always bear fruit, and secondly, there are also such people working on that land. when it was the ukrainians who went to russia to sell vegetables, including tomatoes and bitter gourds, because they don’t really want cherries and apricots there, that was our story, but despite everything, revenue is falling, since the beginning of the year, ukraine has sold agricultural products a little more than 19.5 billion dollars. this is 7% less than last year. mykola

pugachev, deputy director of the institute of agrarian economics, announced this. he analyzed the customs data. however , despite this, the agrarian woman retains such dominants positions in the total export of our state. unfortunately, the challenges facing business are increasing now. in addition to the war, there were also bans and restrictions on the import of certain types of our products from poland, hungary and slovakia. well, unfortunately, the issue of blocking the border has not yet been resolved, but certain meetings of ministers are already underway, in particular , between the vice prime minister oleksandr kubrakov, the minister of agricultural policy , with representatives of the european union countries , and vasyl is having a dialogue with poland, slovakia, and hungary regarding this , so that our products, well, maybe already was heading to her customers, and here was this blockade, gone into history. today i listened to what these protestors who are blocking the road say, when the head

of the initiative group from the side of ukrainian drivers came up and said, let's maybe let more vans pass in an hour there, not one, three or something, they say, and we you we don’t want to miss it at all, just don’t go to us, but again, why should the will of one company or one group of people decide the fate of both ukraine and poland, and well, in general, well, the answer just don't go, it's vasyl, in the 21st century in the european union, civilians... create their own cars, create their own mcdonald's, create their own

medicines, well, i don't know what they will do, but many international brands, albeit slowly, but are leaving the aggressor country, and this week hyundai announced that it plans to sell its plant in russia, well, just for a symbolic 78 dollars, this company is ready to lose 200 million american dollars, at which the value is estimated. production facilities in the country of the aggressors, south korea is taking such a step the company is leaving russia altogether, making hyundai the latest global automaker to sell... its assets since the start of moscow's full-scale invasion of our country. the company's top managers said that they had stopped the plant's operations in march of that year, but would continue to provide after-sales service to customers who bought cars in russia. well, i think this is also such a transitional step soon, and the service of not

servicing these passenger cars, for example, will stop. well, this week is japanese producer. bridgestone agreed that it would also sell its plant in the russian city of ulyanovsk. the company has been present on the market of the aggressor country since 1998, but last year it stopped production, froze investments, it is clear that it does not support the russian invasion of our country, here i will also add some statistics according to the calculations of the kyiv school of economics, this institution monitors this topic, so here it is and... more than 1,500 foreign companies that own or have owned assets in russia, 304, have finally completed their exit from russia, completed all their affairs, well i i think that this figure will grow, this was the last information, these were the economic results of the week, i will say goodbye, but the big broadcast continues, vasyl zima will tell

a lot more interesting things, watch us. a decorated house, delicious meals and the whole family at the table, this is one of the best christmas traditions, the amount of money a festive table can cost this year, my colleagues from the white church calculated. christmas is one of the most important holidays for ukrainians, believers traditionally go to church, and on the eve of the holidays , the whole family gathers at the table. mistresses usually 12 dishes are prepared, and you can enjoy a piece of meat already in the morning. this year, many compatriots plan to celebrate christmas on december 25 according to the new julian calendar, so they are buying products little by little. however, there are still those who are used to january 7. it's for christmas, i'm for christmas. and you buy prunes for

bigus, yes. ugh. and for boxes? raisins are bought for kuti. nate added to you. will you celebrate on the 25th or the seventh? on the 25th, you will celebrate on the 25th, on the seventh, i will be on the seventh. at the head of the table, of course, kutya, if you cook it yourself from wheat, with nuts, poppy seeds and honey, it will cost almost uah 160 for a large plate for the whole family. according to the sellers, the prices have risen this year, except for raisins, there are very few of them in ukraine now, i called the company yesterday. the trucks do not pass and they bring in little, the price has increased, well, i trade at the old price, because i still have old goods, i can still sell like this, we will see later, there will be a new factory, there will already be a second price, there is a demand for dried fruits, unlike of other ingredients in the corner - emphasizes serhiy, but i assume that the main one there will be a flow of people the day before the holiday , zero at all, there aren’t even any girls, it happens that

they will pay for the rent, there are so many jobs now that it’s better not to stand at all, in general, it’s the holidays... poppy seeds, grains are bought, processed before i sold poppy seeds in sacks , now this is a bag, i don't know whether i will sell it or not, but the price policy has not changed there, no, the price, as it was, has remained the same. traditionally, pickles and sauerkraut should be on the table. barrel cucumbers now cost uah 60, delicious cabbage, grandmothers mostly sell for uah 30 per half liter the bank among the duties dishes, lean borscht, with beans, cabbage rolls and vinaigrette. prices for products have changed somewhat. a kilogram of beets costs uah 9, a head of white cabbage - from uah 20, potatoes - from uah 27 per kilogram. price tags for carrots and onions are from 10 to 15 hryvnias. greens, parsley

or dill - uah 20 per bunch. but meat for the christmas and new year holidays will do. it's not cheap, if there was money, they would take everything , but there isn't, how much does it cost, for example, there is fat, 140, 180, 120, 80 uah, 170 ribs, 160 shoulder blade, a strong butt 200 uah. are cooking hostesses and dumplings with various fillings, for the dough you will need flour, a kilogram of which costs uah 20 on average, eggs - uah 60 per dozen. among the drinks, the main thing is uzvar, the festive table should also have fish dishes. there is a lot of tickling on the market, here carp for 50 uah and carp for 100, and carp for carp. they ask for 130 hryvnias per kilogram, additionally for dinner you can bake apples, donuts, make flatbreads, potatoes or buckwheat or pea

porridge. according to the economist lidia horoshkova, there will indeed be a slight increase in the price of products by 8-12% in ukraine. but it is the trend is followed every year before the holidays. we should agree with you, i think it is reasonable to approach 8-12%. on the one hand , it is unpleasant. on the other hand, well, so this shows that we are preparing for the holidays, so this is a normal process, and the war does not prevent us from preparing for the holidays, and the increase in prices is, unfortunately, a trend that is observed, but it is included in those inflationary expectations that were formed at the beginning of the movement today. in general, the christmas table in 2023 will cost ukrainians uah 970, the institute of agrarian economy. lyubov gerrashchenko, oleksandr kuga, espresso, bila tserkva. when gathering for the christmas table, do not forget that not

all family members will be at all tables, some are no longer there, some died at the front, some are now at the front, some were occupied by the occupiers, some left , fleeing the war. therefore, inform the armed forces and always help, if you can, those people who will not have their whole family at the table in this second war year. well, what will the weather be like? in ukraine, tomorrow is the eve of the holidays, and it's already christmas, today is friday, and here it is already on christmas, natalka didenko will tell us, let's listen and watch, synoptic hello to all, dear ukrainians, here we are , we waited for december 22, the sun will gradually return to spring, to summer, in fact to winter weather, which, to be honest, is not very and... you can see, well, we will talk about this later , what will the weather be like, and now, of course, on the eve of christmas eve, i want to talk to you about the cat, about its features

, well, for example, i cook traditionally, yes, as my grandmother, mother, and i always cooked in the evening i just fill the wheat with water, and it is actually ready in the morning, i just cook it a little, and then everything follows our classic, ancient scheme, poppy seeds, eh, and of course nuts, raisins, and i don’t use any modern additives, but it's already for some taste. and so i took a look, i was interested in how it is cooked , for example, in other regions of ukraine, and i found that, for example, in the luhansk region, koty is made with rice, well, also, of course, that there is honey, raisins, nuts, but here with rice , i remember very well, they used to make pearl barley, you can see, when wheat was hard to find, on sometimes halva is added to make it sweeter. and i also found such an interesting recipe, it is kutya, which is made in lemkivshchyna, and it is, well, cooked as usual, but

such bobalki are added there, they are baked the day before christmas, they are kneaded with yeast and sugar and such bobalki are made, well, here kutya is so different, the main thing is that it is tasty, the main thing is that we always have the opportunity, many of us, unfortunately, there is no such opportunity... to have dinner on christmas eve with our family, with those closest to us and always with kutya. let's go further and talk about our traditional column about magnetic storms. magnetic storms, strong, which are not expected to be serious. of course, there will be small fluctuations, but everything is more or less calm here, so we move on to the weather for the next day. and we start it traditionally from the western regions, i want to say that now in ukraine... a slight, but still a little cooling, for example, in the west tomorrow from two degrees of frost to three degrees of heat, it will be wet snow during the day and in places, on the north of ukraine is also

colder, -1 +2°, cloudy, humid weather, rain will prevail in the east, because it will be warmer there, +2 -7° during the day, so the precipitation is mainly in the form of rain, in the central part of ukraine this slight cooling will also affect the regions. in vinnytsia to dnipropetrovsk region , it is from one frost to 3° of heat. in the southern part of ukraine, it will be traditionally warmer +2 +7°, rain in some places. and in kyiv , the weather is expected to be cloudy, humid, the air temperature is not high, +1 +3°. and i want to say, since we are meeting today, i will certainly tell you about the weather on christmas eve and christmas, and on the 24th and there will be more on the night of the 25th. it's cold, but on december 25, the day of christmas , such a noticeable warming is expected in most regions of ukraine , of course i have such a small surprise... i want

to make you and congratulate everyone on the upcoming holidays, and tatyanka and tarasyk also wish you a delicious kuti, everyone kindness, warmth , and most importantly, of course, peace and victory, it’s hard to contain them, once again everyone happy holidays, tatyanka and tarasyk, of course, are beautiful, as well as... mrs. natalka didenko, thank you and thank you for the greetings , of course, for you first of all, well the information is again disappointing from the dnipropetrovsk region in nikopol, due to enemy strikes, destruction again, in the city the enemy escaped from heavy artillery and directed a kamikaze drone there. a health center and a grocery stand were damaged, a pine tree, seven houses and five farm buildings, power lines, a gas pipeline, a minibus was involved, rescuers extinguished the fire, it was

also under artillery fire... in addition, the aggressor also attacked the uav. fortunately, there were no deaths or injuries everywhere. i just want to add, take care yourself for these holidays. the enemy will definitely attack, and it is not known where he will attack, but it is a holy evening, christmas for a child, so there is always a reason to attack souls, christian, christian, ukrainian souls. i'm at the very end, you know, this day maryana is cornerless, well, in a more adequate manner, but she made public these possible things. the version of the draft law on mobilization that is currently being prepared in the verkhovna rada of ukraine, there are many points, i will not, well, regarding the lowering of the age of mobilization to 205, it is not clear for women, so far, there are certain lifting of deferments , restrictions on disability, there is the police, the state tax service, well, it is all being worked out there, but here is this idea that has now caused a whole wave of discussions regarding the return of ukrainian men from

abroad who are fit for service. there are countries that do not want to return ukrainians to germany, an interesting story, in germany there are 200 men, let's say the baltic countries, in 000 ukrainian men of prison age, at first there was a statement from the minister of justice, who said no, in our constitution it is written that a person cannot be forced to serve in the army, so we will not force ukrainians to do this, but the representative of the opposition of the christian democratic party, the deputy of the bundestaguter says, this is... an idea, especially since many people in germany are already saying, why are there soldiers are dying, why are there people bearing the burden of war, and they are sitting here, and he thinks that it would be good to deprive them of support, help, and shelter, and we need to think about it, so everything is not so clear, this situation is being worked out by the ukrainian government anyway here it is not possible to put a full stop yet, we will monitor the situation, good evening, we are from ukraine, good day. volunteer christmas
