the surname orbán today is a trojan horse that intensively and, unfortunately, is increasingly effectively destroying european unity and trying to show that we should ignore ukraine, says the minister of european affairs of the czech republic, martin dvorz. the thing is that this week the eu gave kyiv the last 1.5 billion in macro-financial aid, and by the end of the year the european union will not vote for the next 50 billion. probably, as early as february 1 at the special summit, he will return to this issue again. meanwhile , the hungarian prime minister is showing brussels confidence, even self-confidence. for example, announcing in the assembly the plans not only to chair the council of the european union in the second half of 2024, but to quote, to occupy brussels during the chairing. this week, the hungarian prime minister hosted the turkish leader erdogan, in which he presented skakun. and although the reason for the meeting is the business of their states, however.

erdogan after the conversation with orban, well, they make you think. granting them, in particular ukraine , candidate status does not mean that they will become eu members. it is wrong that turkey, which is more ready to join the european union than some member states have been waiting at the door for years - says erdogan. unfortunately, there is no sensational answer to this question yet, because the sensation is different in the states at the moment. the supreme court of colorado excluded trump from the list of candidates for the presidency of the united states. the court accepted this verdict , if in simple words, based on provisions dating back to the civil war, when a rebel who participated in an uprising, and trump is accused of storming the capitol, cannot hold public office, let alone run for president. however, this is unlikely to stop trump. and political technologists think that it can even help. trump himself will submit. the appeal will also

be accepted in the us supreme court - say lawyers. meanwhile , washington managed to adopt a record us defense budget for the next year. it is about 886 billion. there is also a share for ukraine, but it is only 300 million. i think that this issue will be transferred to next year. and while all this is in limbo, it seems that parallel alternatives for financial support of ukraine are being sought in the oval office. for example, according to the new york times, to legally confiscate frozen russian assets. it it is considered a difficult thing from the point of view of the laws and the reaction of russia as well. but the amount is also serious, because we are not even talking about 61, but about 300 billion dollars. and by the way, apparently berlin has already joined in here. zmi reports that the federal prosecutor of germany appealed to the court with a request to confiscate 720 million euros of frozen russian funds. if successful, it

would set a serious precedent and possibly have a domino effect for other allies. so far, the eu has approved the 12th package of sanctions against russia, and the us has joined in with its updates. they say they will to impose sanctions on foreign financial institutions without warning, if they in turn help russians to circumvent already existing sanctions, these are christmas presents for russia. and maybe there will be some more. new year's presents. andriy orlyak, tsn. week 1+1 marathon only news. and what to do if the financial assistance of the west is delayed even more, will they transfer the ukrainian economy to war rails, which has been talked about for a long time, and will we help if we stop buying smartphones and cars? this week, the minister also spoke on this matter of finance, and the president, correspondent of ktsn of the week, iryna kovalenko, also asked experts and found out why buying ukrainian is... also help to the front. thank you.

i wonder if the economy is already on the war tracks or not, where exactly do the taxes of ukrainian entrepreneurs go and how much are they, and can the ukrainian economy go on these military tracks? but first , let's understand what it is. the soviet union - world war ii. people and children were also forced to work in three shifts and all possible enterprises. worked in the interests of war. it everything was possible thanks to the dictatorship and the artificial distribution of the kit for survival. grandmothers still remember what a ration is. therefore , it was quite possible to produce tanks in batches that were without modern electronics. now it is impossible to repeat this. ukraine does not have such a large number of industrial plants and enterprises, there is no car manufacturing. 60% of our economy is the service sector. hairdressers, law firms, cafes, restaurants. how can they? to produce

, for example, projectiles, so it turns out, we cannot produce weapons on an industrial scale. the minister of finance said that ukrainians should reduce their consumption goods several times, if we want to switch to military rails, and the tax regime may change, and he added, stop buying smartphones and cars, but how can this help? if we are talking about phones and computers, then of course it is 100 percent import, and it is hardly possible to avoid it. most certainly, the minister meant luxury goods, jewelry, overpriced cars, and this makes sense, because we, pineapple, do not make money from imports. the advice of this. tsal is decent, for example, i will help, i will tell my wife to she did not think of buying something imported, which you can do without, this is the right advice, it is better to buy a hryvnia military bond, and in order to reduce imports , you need to create

favorable conditions for ukrainian manufacturers, reduce taxes and regulatory pressure, so ukrainian manufacturers will naturally displace foreigners from our market, salary restrictions. officials and employees of state structures, this is tens of billions of hryvnias, and it seems that the president very transparently hinted at this. i want to reduce this government, i have no money, 500 billion u i was asked for mobilization, 500 billion. we have smartly organized private companies. oleksandr savchenko names one of the logistics companies that could collect drones. if we involve 20-30 large enterprises, as the economist says, then they would create half a million drones in the next year. oleksiy danilov, secretary of the nsdc, also says about the successful involvement of private companies. a very simple example:

naval drones that destroy the occupier are the product of a private company. moreover, when you find out who worked for who created this company, you will be... very surprised, he had nothing to do with the sea or vehicles, but the skill of ukrainians allows us to quickly do very complex things. in the same way, we can order clothes from our sewing factories, and not pay several times more expensively abroad, plus it provides jobs and payment of taxes that go to the budget. until the usa voted to allocate money to us. in an optimistic scenario, it could happen in january. february next year. in the structure of the budget of ukraine funds from western partners make up 60%, the remaining 40% is our economy, so how long will we be able to stay afloat? we can work for a year. while the usa is solving the issue with financial aid, this delay

has been compensated. they pressed the international monetary fund: give an early tranche, pressed the world bank. so these structures have to give us money. second, the big seven found an opportunity. restructuring of all foreign debt until 2027, and this removes more than 10 billion dollars of payments from us every year, so the hryvnia will grow against this background not significant. there will be a gradual devaluation of the hryvnia, my corridor is 10%. and that 40% of the budget, i remind you, is filled by ukrainian business, and it is precisely these funds that we can spend on the war, but the money of partners - no, they go to pensions, salaries and the budget. and officials , in particular, so the most important thing is that the entrepreneur pays taxes, if he does not want to experience another appearance of russians near kyiv, we, as consumers, should remember that you buy ukrainian, you help yourself, all imports will not enrich another state, for example, china. to be honest, i was very

surprised that in my neighborhood, literally a shop, two cafes and a pizzeria opened on several streets, so i will go there to support them with hryvnias, and i advise you to do the same. iryna kovalenko, andriy vetoshkin, tsn. week 1+1 marathon, only news. and this same week , millions of ukrainian patients who need effective pain medication have received a huge hope. the verkhovna rada allowed the use of medical cannabis in medicine, science and industry in order not to force our people to evade and illegally transport across the border what is considered medicine in 56 countries of the civilized world, including including for cancer patients. in ukraine. minzderov will also approve the list of diseases and conditions for which a patient can be prescribed drugs based on medical cannabis. the law itself comes into effect six months after its publication. however, people's deputies from the batkivshchyna party, which opposed this project all the time, blocked the signing of the law.

the parliament will be able to consider their resolution on the cancellation of the decision only somewhere in the middle of january next year. then there is time for the president's signature and six months after publication, in other words, there is real hope for law. in july 2024, if the faction of the motherland does not appeal this decision in the constitutional court, as promised. we will return to those who have to suppress daily anxiety and pain, but for now our historical detective. dictators very rarely die in their own beds, with dignity and elegance. hitler poisoned himself and shot himself. mussolini was hanged. joseph stalin died for a long time, lying in his own urine without medical help. serbian executioner slobodan milosevic died in the cell of the gaza tribunal, during his trial. the last communist dictator of the 20th century the romanian father of the nation, nicolae časescu , was shot together with his wife after a quick

trial, it happened these days on december 25, 1989 . our historical investigator, stas yasynskyi, explains why there is a ban on refrigerators, overcrowded old houses and menstrual police. i won't show you the footage of ciolosescu's death, they amaze with their naturalism, the romanian dictator and his wife were taken out of the courtroom, put against the wall and fired several rounds from machine guns. the moment of the volley was not caught in the frame, because the cameraman could not have guessed that everything would happen so much quickly. why is it so fierce and terrible, why are these people who lived in chelushescu's country and greeted him with applause, for 24 long years, so happy, i will tell you now. at the beginning of his reign, 47-year-old general nicolai cushescu

made romania the most democratic country of the warsaw bloc for a certain time. romanians in the 60s could read not only their own press, but also western newspapers. and charushevsky literally trades his fellow citizens, allows germans and jews to leave for the west, but asks the world for financial compensation of $500 for one person romanian. the leader condemns the introduction of soviet troops into czechoslovakia, and later the war in afghanistan. all this makes chavushevsky popular in the west. see how pompously queen elizabeth ii of great britain received him and his wife in the 70s. in the 70s , romania actively monetized friendship with europe and the usa. the poor country borrows from western loans, and its leader lives in a palace with 80 rooms and gradually gets used to official titles such as genius of the carpathians, the source of our world,

the full-flowing danube of reason. all tv programs from he is severely censored, the father of the nation can only be filmed from the right points because of his short stature. the cult of personality requires ceausescu to build his own mega project. for the construction of this megalithic palace of the peoples, chushisku orders thousands of people to be resettled and several kilometers of history to be demolished. the center of bucharest. this house is worth several billion dollars. 20 thousand builders built for more than 10 years. it has 1,100 rooms and is the second largest office building in the world after the american pentagon. techoushevsky was shot not for the palace, but for it almost 30 years of torture over millions of his subjects. in 1966, he became infected with a fantastic dream to make romania great. the fetus

is the property of the state, every person who gets rid of a child is a deserter who violates the laws of national continuity. if the first act in the drama of che's country-building was the prohibition of abortion, then the second act becomes even more absurd. the dictator introduces a mandatory number. children in romanian families. at first there were four children, later - five. divorce becomes almost impossible, and so that women do not separate from the birth child, chelushescu creates a special unit within its security service, the romanian kgb. and they were called the menstrual police. they went to enterprises and checked the periodicity of periods of all female employees. celushescu imposed a huge tax for his childlessness. during the first years, the birth rate increases. twice as much, but romanians live in poverty and cannot feed and educate new children. during the years

of ceausescu's rule , hundreds of thousands of children ended up in orphanages. about 10 thousand romanian women die from illegal abortions, which were carried out in terrible conditions unsanitary conditions. this is the wife of the dictator yelena. despite the appearance of a european businesswoman, she also wore a bunch of absurd titles, and this is his son niko. he should inherit his father's property. kingdom, but it did not work out, in an ideal world built around this totalitarian family, expensive cars, parties, hunting, judging by the number of photos in the archives, ceausescu killed dozens of bears and hundreds of other animals in his... life, and the richer this world became , ordinary romanians lived even worse. in the early 1980s , foreign creditors began to grow stronger to demand the return of the money, and the romanian dictator decided that while he was returning several tens of billions of dollars, he could tighten the screws a little more. the norm in which

the romanian people lived for the last 10 years resembled a concentration camp. all food in squats, concrete analogues. the soviet khrushchev buildings, in which the majority of the city's population lived, were almost unheated in winter. electricity consumption limits were so low that a single family could turn on one 15-watt light bulb per room, refrigerators or washing machines were prohibited. a disaster in medicine, there was a lack of the most necessary medicines, in education , the average romanian school class is 45-50 children. everyone disagrees with such. the conditions were even worse, there are still legends about a network of special punitive mental hospitals from which no one left. in 1989, when the warsaw bloc began to die rapidly, in the velvet revolutions, the romanians started a bloody slaughter instead of velvet. the army tried to quell the unrest, but the rebellion spread. in december 1989, the dictator decided

to flee. by helicopter just from the roof of the palace peoples then in random cars that the security service confiscates from ordinary romanians, he is detained by the military on the orders of one of the generals, an old friend of the covushescu family. the tribunal takes place in a military unit, the last few nights the defendants are locked in an armored personnel carrier, bank accounts in the west and genocide of their own people are among the charges. everything happens in a hurry, in court - verdict and execution. dictatorship has a long aftertaste. only in the mid-2000s, romania overcame the crisis of indifference to the lives of its own children, which for years they gave birth and threw away at will. many of them still find it difficult to regain their inner freedom and responsibility for their own lives. the same thing, but on a much larger scale, the russians are expecting one day. stanislav yasynskyi, tsn. week, marathon, single

news. well, how to live in daily stress? to hold on with the last strength, when there is no call, not even a plus sign, to help military wives who have been waiting for their husbands from the front for years. before christmas, the orthodox church of ukraine organized a retreat for them, a spiritual seminar. that's how protect the family during the war and long separation. what words does a fighting man need to support him? what did priests and psychologists advise women, and is there an effect from such trips? tsn correspondent of the week oleksandr zagorodny. carefully asked the participants. if longing and sadness have crept into your heart, go to the sea or to grief. that's what

psychologists tell us, and they're probably right, because i've never in my life seen too sad people who just... conquered the top, and what's the top for, even this noise of a charemosh can expel black sadness from your heart, although the river itself is called black, breathe deeply and measuredly, first psychologists teach the women of our servicemen to relax, exhale the problems and anxieties that have accumulated during two years of war. on the first days of the retreat, we film from a distance like this, and psychologists advise... and we see for ourselves, the women were not ready to communicate, but later, when they recognize us, remember that we filmed their husbands on the front line, we also become participants a free retreat organized by priests orthodox church of ukraine. now we work with women, military personnel, but it is our mission more professionally and spiritually as

priests to take care of the soul and with those methods that can be psychologically supported and inspired. to protect, to be near. the priests, who have an education in psychology, have previously conducted free retreats, but for the first time they are doing it specifically for the wives of military personnel. they say they noticed that the war affected them in a special way. we don't even allow ourselves to rest somewhere there once more, to be in a circle like-minded people, i want to be somehow useful all the time, to be so convenient somewhere to some extent. therefore, it is very important to find time for yourself. because the resource must be drawn from where you cannot constantly give, but must also be filled. it would seem like a child's pastime to make candles, chelyalkas, and coils, but such exercises really bring people together in the group, here and...

another practical advice is not to burden the man who is at the front with his problems , do not drive him into the wilderness, because he is not can throw his brothers and rush to run, for example, a gas boiler. every call should be positive, not a claim or complaint. there is a saying that i really like , that two serve, and this means for us that the wife, she also serves, because she has a lot of... part of these responsibilities, duties for the family, for the children, cool, when they, they begin

to cope with the challenges that we have today at a completely different qualitative level, during the war i learned where the tank is located in the car, what wheels need to be changed and what in general, that is, there were so many questions that i did not she knew, and how the cauldron starts, nak has three children, but her lover went to defend the homeland from the second day of the great war. now she does all the men's work herself. she says that until recently she was angry when she saw men of military age, on the street or in a cafe. the man was not allowed to breathe, but after several conversations with the priest, he already looks at everything philosophically, to each his own. now svetlana knows that the main thing in her life is to save her family, and for this she has to make efforts. it is difficult to live without a husband. then it is difficult for the husband to return to the family where he was used to living without him, and in fact, our goal is to create such a place, a safe, secure place,

where you can take a step further, where you can gather resources and share, because every person needs a person, when a man knows that everything is fine at home, in he has motivation, motivation to move on and do everything that depends on him. and so, on the third day of the retreat, we saw a woman. tears, but they were already tears of joy. singer marta levchey, the ambassador of the aksios center and the initiator of cigretrites, with several of her hits and an unsurpassed red ruta, was able to move it is very important to support women who are waiting for their husbands, sons, brothers, they need to be given this opportunity to continue living, to live here. now, thank you very much, hugs, now it is easier to dare them, with martha, with priests and even with journalists, psychologists say that they gave the girls only the basics, a push, but they have already

changed, look, there is already a sparkle in the eyes, more they will already support each other psychologically, although after the retreat they will disperse all over ukraine, the group of like-minded people will not fall apart, this is incredible some kind of retreat, all the girls are like that, like your own, and you feel like you are among your own. such are their relatives and they all go together to common prayer, by the way, to the largest wooden church in ukraine, it is in verkhovyna, after all , it is christmas on the calendar, and the nights are already getting shorter, the light is getting more, with each new day. son of god, born, zverkhovyny, oleksandr zagorodny, volodymyr barakhonsky tesan week 1+1 marathon only news. our common prayer becomes stronger because more and more people are praying at the same time. today is the festive eve before christmas, unique and historical.

for the first time, ukrainians can officially meet him together. and this is also our victory over the press of russia, which divided our people for centuries, even with the help of the church. in september , the orthodox church of ukraine and the greek catholic church switched from julian to the new julian calendar. and in this way, the only one for all christians is established. and christmas on december 25. at the same time , the church does not forbid everyone who wants to celebrate from january 7, or wants to make the transition to the new calendar gradual and conscious. we ask heaven for help and protection, today everyone together. and the mood at the end of the year is difficult. russia continues shelling and mass events in many cities have been canceled, but christmas trees like the one on sophia square in kyiv still light up, because we must not allow the enemy to plunge us into complete anxiety and... darkness is also our resistance, and i am also spoke here with my relatives, there are still events in this difficult 23rd that leave hope and give strength to go

forward. our heroes did hold the front and did not allow the russian horde further into the country. we are already on the threshold of negotiations on joining the european union, and this is a real political victory. despite the war, we were recognized as a serious competitor on the economic front and we are learning to negotiate with our nearest neighbors according to european principles. well, the j7 countries are already seriously thinking about how to quickly hand over 300 billion dollars of frozen russian assets to us. well, we understood the main thing. first of all, we have to rely on ourselves. not so much to ask, but to increase our own production and not let us quarrel, because together we are truly an invincible force, like our warriors, whom we thank every day and in every issue of tsn of the week. today these are boys and girls from of the 43rd separate regiment of communication and radio technical support, they provide communication between command posts and units in various places of combat missions, so that our defenders know

the intentions of the commanders and can act with... for stable communication for nothing we sincerely thank the soldiers of the 43rd regiment. on this evening of hope, when all of ukraine is praying for its defenders, a low bow to each of you, we love, believe and are proud. and the first dawn

is already in the sky, christ is born, we praise him, may all our bright dreams come true, victory and peace to our native ukraine, and eternal glory to the heroes who defend us. dsn week will meet with you already in 2024, on the last sunday of the year, wait for the team of facts of the week in the marathon. glory to ukraine and see you soon. the chevorons, which are approaching victory, drove normally, nothing broke, that's all, mom, come on, i'll dial later, sir, what are you
