footage of the kakhovskaya hessian railway, destroyed by the russians , went viral all over the world. 18 billion cubic meters of water leaked from the reservoir. vast expanses that were previously under water were exposed. according to the ministry of defense of ukraine , 32 people died, 39 others went missing. how many people died in the territories occupied by the russians is still unknown. on the day of the disaster , volunteers, doctors, rescuers, and journalists went to kherson. the place of gathering of evacuated people and animals in kherson became the shipping area, flooded houses, streets and whole blocks, cars ended up in the water, tons of petroleum products, landfills, cattle burial grounds. consequences. the explosion of the kakhovskaya

hydroelectric power plant affected the entire south, from dnipropetrovsk to odesa regions, 60,000 homes were flooded, a total of almost 6 million square meters of territory. in a matter of days, the kakhovsk sea softens, tons of fish die. kryvyi rih, nikopol, as well as a number of smaller settlements remained without water supply. in kherson region and mykolaiv region, in some places people still cannot restore their own. the apartment was literally a day, a day, and it was all gone. environmental consequences detonation of the hydroelectric power station is terrifying. in the water samples collected by volunteers in 12 points in the south, excess amounts of zinc and cobalt were found. arsenic was also found. the danger lies in the fact that these substances, after entering the living body, are not removed from it, accumulate and over time can lead to fatal consequences. and when

the water quality will be restored, scientists cannot predict. kokhov's gesture is a terrible crime by the russians and the biggest environmental disaster that happened this year in ukraine at the hands of the russian military. but above all this disaster for the people who were there, and dmytro will tell about the people and the consequences of this terrible crime, because dmytro was there. please. actually, vasyl, what struck me the most then in kherson, i had never been there , it was the first time when i was in... in this city, i had not been, i had not seen the central square where the liberation of the city took place, i did not saw other districts, perhaps more beautiful than the ship district in which we were, and when we arrived at the square where people were rescued from the kurabel district, i saw one inscription, it there was supposedly some kind of information board there, and it was completely in the water, and there was only one inscription: city of ships, this is the phrase, it

stuck in my head, probably for the rest of my life, but the people in kherson, they were amazing then really with their resilience, they took out all animals, domestic animals, people even took boguns from the state emergency service , they could even take cows in order to evacuate and save them, but there were such people. who did not want to leave, who believed that the water would go away, and the story was like this, two men subboards, went to this area, collected information about those who need to be rescued and evacuated, and passed it on to the rescuers, and they told a very interesting story, when people specially went to the upper floors of the house, got a generator, fed themselves, baked bread, said: bring us only products, we are here... we have

, we will not go, no, we will not leave our home, but seeing kherson in such a state, at first it was difficult, and men do not cry, there is a stereotype, yes, but i could not hold back some emotions, i wanted shout even more, speak even more, write more, show people exactly what russia has done. i want you to know what i talked about, i know that you were also in kherson. and in orichov and in those territories where the war is already breathing its heat right in our faces, and so now all of us ukrainians live in ukraine and are de-occupied and occupied and under the control of the ukrainian government, but still it is a little different life in different regions of our state, we perfectly understand, i would like you to tell about those people who are now staying where war, again, very close, where this kind of thing can happen, when you wake up in the morning and the water is already coming, or tomorrow the cabs and something else will arrive, these people... who live in spite of everything, yes, really,

and when you start asking them , why, why will you go, won't you go more precisely, there is one phrase that is also very memorable. i remembered that if we leave our city, if the last inhabitant, the resident of this city leaves, the city will cease to exist, not because they say, not because the russians can raze it to the ground, not because all our houses have been destroyed , because we won't be in this place, and people don't want to leave it all, not because they have any material condition, most likely everything is already destroyed in them, like in orichov, mrs. olena, who we were, she has no house, she she lives in... in the basement and in the small summer kitchen, the basement remained, but it was cleared a little , the entrance of the carcasses, the entrance was cleared, she lives there, but she can hear, because the heating is terrible, what? there is nothing to heat, in the basement you have to cover yourself with several blankets, if it is a larger basement, as for example in schools

of former institutions, then they are already put there shacks and people get warm, so sometimes the locals have to... live in their own where they keep canning, something else , and people cover themselves there, and that’s how they live, they go out into the light during the day, cook something, do something, in the evening they go to the basement , there was not a single minute in orichov when there were no explosions, not a single minute somewhere, but it explodes, yes, somewhere, but it explodes, planes fly constantly, for the first time in orichov, i heard how a cap was dropped, this... this sound, it’s not from the more you can't compare, at that moment you start to think for life, for yourself, after all, everything seems to have flashed through you, and you gather and understand, you even feel this, well, shock wave, right? yes, the shock wave is very big from the cabs, uh, and at that moment, we were

in the central square of orikhov, when it dropped, we were standing recording the commentary, and it was at the moment when i turned it off, the camera turned off, this... explosion was very massive and the trees were already without leaves, but they were swaying, and - i can’t imagine how people live all the time, but they say, we get used to it, we get used to this kind of life, i understand that they were shelled somewhere to where the front is thrown, most likely, if i am not mistaken, there is more than 100 kg of explosives, in my opinion, if i am not mistaken, there are also half tons, one and a half, there are half tons, but in my opinion there are up to 1.5 tons , as far as i'm nuts are fired with kabami. that three or four times a day, what the civilians at least told us, that's what they say more that we suffer the most from the cabs, not from the artillery there, which they keep saying, they drop the cabs, i 'll ask you very briefly at the end, friends and colleagues, now it's not even about the military, it's about people

civilians who are in these territories, there are a lot of cases, this is not no, again, without criticizing anyone, it is simply a fact, a lot of people will sing songs abroad, and ukraine will win, everything will be fine , these holidays will pass, i i want to ask that maybe this is a message from those people who are currently near the front line or in the occupation, well, near the front line, how do they feel, what is victory for them, how do they see it, how, how do they see it, we will win, and in this situation, staying where you can go, in fact, for them it is a clear and quiet sky above head, that's all they want , for the shelling to stop, well, and i think they really believe that, what's important, staying there, they understand that tomorrow the enemies may come, or rather they are afraid and refuse to believe that they are not want your impressions? well, i don't ask so many people about the victory, because i understand that this

topic is not relevant for them now, but there was one question, i asked this in kharkiv, when we were filming another story about the restoration of houses. and for people this is their home, they say victory is mine for me whole house intact. i thank you very much, i want to say, friends, guys, my colleagues, that you bring these voices to our audience, you give these frames, and you give emotions and experiences, because having experienced it, you put it in the plot, people still feel it , this is important, and i thank you for your work and i know and believe that next year you will continue to do it, because those people who are there need it, we need it. and this bridge should be between military and civilians, between people 3 km from the front, and those people who are further, because only together we will be able to get there, this is maturity and understanding of the situation we are in, i thank you for giving this understanding, usual

things become unreal, heavy bags are not for me. back from back pain, try dolgit cream. long-acting cream relieves pain, reduces swelling and improves joint mobility. with the cream dolgit, whatever you want, i will lift. dolgit is the only yellow cream for pain. try flebodia 600. pink french pills for acute hemorrhoids. flebodia 600. treat hemorrhoids without any pain. a tingling and crawling sensation ants appear spontaneously and bother you. the dolgit antineuralgia complex helps to normalize the functioning of the nervous system. dolgit antineuralgia helps to return to usual activities without population and numbness in the limbs. dolgit capsules antineuralgia. help your nerves. system, and it is also

very important to understand that war is money, and when there is no money, unfortunately, the war will not have the resources to introduce it, and although social issues are certain, payments are certain in ukraine, we can now to cover, our the government can cover at the expense of foreign finances, foreign money. euro-dollars, but our army lives on taxes paid by ukrainian taxpayers, all of us are citizens of ukraine who work, and here is what happened in the year 23 and what we are going into the year 24 with, will it be fuel oleksandr morchivka will tell us what is most important for the war, in what state the economy and the ukrainian national currency can be. ukraine will be able to live for no more than two months. without money from international partners, such forecasts were made by analysts the imf despite record

gold and currency reserves during the war, our country continues to live mainly on foreign loans, grants and other non-refundable aid. according to the latest calculations, from the beginning of the great war until october 25, the main partners provided us with almost 64 billion in financial aid, the most of which was the usa and the eu. these funds provided almost half of the state budget expenditures, ukraine finances defense expenditures with its own funds, only in the first 10 months of the current year they amounted to uah 1.390 billion, these are taxes, customs duties, excise taxes, but the rest of the expenses, in particular the salaries of state employees and reconstruction, are covered by the allies, in addition to them, the financial support is provided by the world's leading financial institutions, the world bank, the ebrd, the european investment bank, the funds from them this year went to support critical infrastructure and the performance of administrative functions in the country , and

on march 21, the international monetary fund announced that it agreed with the government on an unprecedented cooperation program. it is designed for four years and provides for a soft loan for a record amount - 15 billion 600 million dollars. of these , more than 4.5 billion dollars have already arrived in the state coffers. also ukraine, thank you. this year and to other states for strategic infusions into the economy of ukraine. for example, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, germany has directed more than 1 billion 300 million dollars into our treasury. italy more than 117 million. they received 91 million dollars from britain, and denmark provided almost 23.5 million. norway poured 21 million dollars into our economy. latvia - 16 million. received from lithuania. 11,700 dollars and austria supported us for 11 million dollars. in the coming year

we will also have to live and rebuild mostly with foreign money. almost half of the expenses in the country's main budget are funds from our friends. ukraine is counting on this support. well, you know, before speaking to oleksandr morchivka, my colleague, an economic observer, i will say just one phrase: napolon vanaparte once said that war is money, money and money again, so money is actually a lot depends, if not everything, on a successful military campaign. alexandra, please. vasyl, here i agree with you, because the war is not only for spirituality, for the nation, for our values, for the european values ​​that ukraine now professes, here is a war for resources, and resources, of course, are money. well, the story was about the fact that without money from international partners, ukraine would have lost a long time ago, and this is true. friends, let's... let's be honest that now the lion 's share of all state budget expenditures is international aid from the united states and

the european union and many other countries that support our state in the war with the russian aggressor, and i can say that here probably it is logical that financial aid walks alongside military aid, although military aid, and we often hear serhiy zogurets talking about it on the air, military aid lags behind financial aid. which international partners are really trying to promptly transfer to our banks. it must be understood that now, with all due respect to the united states, the european union is in the lead. and in the future, we hope that in the coming years, and this is already foreseen in the project in the budget of the european union, our state will receive international funding from there. the only thing i want to say is that it is difficult for ukraine to raise its own finances now, because many enterprises are destroyed, many enterprises

do not receive such profits, and therefore do not pay lower taxes. currently, the european union is especially betting on... and medium-sized business, which is a donor that replenishes the treasury, and accordingly, from the income from small and medium-sized enterprises, our soldiers will receive material support, financing, a bonus, as they say, but it is necessary to understand , which at the same time wants the authorities to understand about that fiscal pressure, especially as it happened this year, revising certain tax rates, trying to return despite even the recommendations of the international monetary fund, return business inspections, it seems to me that the government should have acted more carefully here, just to let people work and let people replenish the treasury, well, yes, these words, in my opinion, it was about one of the people's deputies from the servant of the people, about how to shear sheep and then pluck geese, well, you definitely can't

treat the waist like that, it seems to me a little more like that there will be no one to shear the politicians, and the people are well... these are not geese and not sheep, it is obvious from some criminal criminal slang, you can probably refer to it that way, but definitely not from the state or from the officials, please yuri, oleksandr, you know i had a question after the story, look, we receive a lot of help from our western partners, it comes both in the form of loans, and , as far as i understand, in the form of non-refundable aid of some kind, but there are also such loans from the international monetary fund, and if considering we got this… there are a lot of loans before the war, we need to constantly give them, during the 23rd year we give them, is this some kind of credit holiday, thank you yura for the question, you really need to understand that in addition to the grant of these non-returnable funds, just this kind of support for our budget, a lion's share after all, these are loans , and we must understand that we

will have to give them, the only plus is loans at a preferential rate, it is insignificant, both from the international monetary fund and from european credit organizations, that is the european bank for reconstruction and development, the european investment bank, they are coming to meet us, but these rates are piling up, and we will need to understand that we will have to give funds, i will not say that this is a shambles, yes, it is a burden that hangs on the shoulders of ukraine, and i am sure, again, that next year, these loan rates will be restructured, that is, they will be spread over a certain amount. they will soften the calculation, they promise us this, and our ministry of finance hopes for it, but still, understand, after the victory , we will still get this money from our economy, from our incomes to give, but here is a plus, we must thank international partners, in particular the european union for grants, we are talking about small and medium-sized businesses, and the european

program ua for biznes supports the development of veteran businesses, women's, with non-refundable funds. business, these are currently popular directions for development, these are popular directions to find yourself now in wartime ukraine, and this is a prospect for filling not only state, but also local budgets, community development. mrs. natalya, please, i wanted to ask, well, as far as finances are concerned provision of the military, it is clear there, and aid, and of course, rear life is also very important, and people every day. i am interested in what to buy, how to feed, how much it costs, such simple questions that we all live, well, every day, in fact, and are there any forecasts regarding the behavior of our hryvnia, well , in relation to the euro, to the dollar, well, how is it doing will lead, thank you natalka for the question, it is important for all of us, this year

the national bank slightly softened its regulation of the exchange rate, well, partially released... let the hryvnia float freely relative to the euro, relative to the dollar, and it must be understood that our national currency reacted quite positively to the collapse of such forecasts given by skeptics that the dollar would rise wildly on the second day, and the hryvnia would depreciate. well, of course, we had a certain financial rear, again, this is the rear of ukraine's gold and currency reserves, which were built up thanks to our international partners. it is clear that part of the loans goes to the reconstruction of ukraine, to renewal. of critical infrastructure, but the lion's share is settling down in the state's coffers, gold and foreign exchange reserves are now at a record high level despite the war, this is such a rear for the stability of the hryvnia, and i'm sure next year it... will also hold firm against the dollar, natalko. evgeny, please, did you also have a question? yes, but my question will not refer to this year that

ends, ended in 2023, but rather to the next year. if we recall the final press conference of volodymyr zelenskyi, then he answered the question about mobilization there, he was long enough and angry gave this answer, and the president said that the general staff proposes or demands, i don't know which word is better, to call up an additional 450-500,000 men next year, i already understand that, and the president also said that in order to provide for these troops, it is necessary an additional 500 billion uah. i have a question: will ukraine be able to find this money and how ? well, if the provision of the military, then in the plot i will once again emphasize that the provision of the military is the income of the ukrainian budget. income which... is provided mainly by taxpayers, these are entrepreneurs, you and i, because we are also hired workers, we pay taxes to

the state budget, and this is usually the financial support of the military, if you remove us, or entrepreneurs, or other taxpayers, ah, from life in the economy , and make, for example, replenishment with this number, the president of ukraine sounded, then of course the tax payment will also decrease. for several months, vasyl and i asked economic experts in our publications about whether it is possible to bleed the economy and essentially put everyone to the army well, the expert answer is that this cannot be done, because there will be no specific money again, the budget will not be able to provide for the military, well, it's such a closed circle and it's so complicated. mathematics, how it will actually be possible to implement these predictions of volodymyr zelenskyi, i cannot say yet, specialist economists cannot say, well, but actually there are people whom we

have elected, who, according to their qualifications, should answer such questions, advise , perhaps a government of national unity will be created, experts will be involved, professionals, politically equidistant from each other, who may find certain solutions, or be able to contact colleagues abroad, again to find these common solutions, in any case, a solution is needed... we are in a situation where we are actually in the middle the ocean needs to float , well, we really have a closed circle, vasyl, because the economy does not stand on military rails, so to speak, we have a market economy, we have a democratic economy, but this is what is expected in the future from the office of the president , it's already challenges for the economy, which should work entirely on military rails, i thank alexander, i’m moving on to another topic, i read a woman’s post yesterday, and here i won’t even blame, because someone says: people want to live longer and... some joys of life, this person is a friend of mine on facebook, she volunteers, well, quite actively lives the war, and she says that this year i decided to remember that there are holidays, to make

a christmas tree, at least a little some short time to distract from what i do what am i leading, two years of war, we don’t even understand, probably until the end , what happened to us, what is happening to us, where are we, what is the most important thing with us, what, but in this life a stable psychological, emotional life, we still need to maintain , both art and communication are suitable for this. various moments that many people are deprived of, but which must be sought, and now we will look at the material from natalka didenko, how can we find something else besides the war to help ourselves stand up and move on? the russians are not waging a war of extermination only with the ukrainian people, but also with our cultural assets, under random and targeted strikes, monuments of national importance, historical buildings. art objects, religious buildings, libraries, museums and nature reserves. the first year of the full-scale invasion, on february 27,

the historical and local history museum in ivankovo, along with the works of maria prymachenko, burned down. on march 7, the slovo building in kharkiv came under fire. on march 12, bombs hit the sviatohirsk lavra of the assumption of the blessed virgin mary in donetsk region. on march 16, a super-powerful bomb is dropped on the dramatic theater in mariupol. may 7 - a targeted attack on the hryhoriy skovoroda museum in kharkiv region. the second year of the great war. on june 7, as a result of the explosion of the kakhovskaya gez, water destroys the polina raiko museum building in oleshki. on july 6 , russian warbirds will fly to the historic center of lviv, a unesco world heritage site. july 23. rockets hit the central altar of the transfiguration cathedral in odessa. and these are only fragments of all the disasters committed by the russians. since the beginning of the large-scale aggression, they destroyed or destroyed more than 1,750 cultural objects

infrastructure. however, in spite of everything and in spite of the threats, many ukrainians are very passionately trying to preserve the heritage of our people, to preserve the memory of outstanding compatriots, the memory of their achievements, the memory of our common history. thus, in july of this year , 100 unknown works of the legendary artist maria pryimachenko were shown at the ukrainian house. her paintings became a symbol of ukrainian indomitability. among fantastic creatures and flowers, the folk artist showed how good defeats evil. a museum of vasylkiv majolica was opened in an ordinary kyiv school, a somewhat forgotten but very defining milestone for ukrainian aesthetics and style. on april 22nd , such a ceramic rooster from a mutilated closet in borodyanka assured everyone that even in the midst of devastation, it is possible to persevere. in december , the exhibition and educational project eyes of flowers began. the works of hanna sobachko shostak,

the first ukrainian artist, are exhibited. an avant-garde artist, an artist who inspired ekster and malevich with her work, and who was not recognized as a full-fledged artist during the soviet era. ukraine has someone to be proud of, someone to remember and whom honor. and despite the genocidal war of the russian federation, we continue to protect our own. these are the descendants of nomads, murderers, some strange, strange people, which is russia. what do you feel when we watched these footage, and when you read these news, when you were in these places, you know these places, you see the destruction, i feel so much, such a strong pain, even these places that i have not been to, well, i think, in general, for any conscious person, when the temple is destroyed, when the fire in museums when a sculpture breaks.

when the paintings burn, it , well, echoes with such rejection that it simply cannot be, well, it shouldn't be, it seems to me, after all, it is so unnatural to human nature, although i say that man is also a destroyer at times , but just in our situation it is very clear who the destroyer is, and it seems to me that it is very telling in this regard that despite the fact that the war continues, and so far no one... knows when it will end, and whatever -what destruction is on the part of the aggressor, echoes ours constructively, that is, museums are revived , er, saved, some repairs are made , and with such incredible efforts, and people cannot know whether, for example, as they say, a bomb does not fall into the same hole twice, but it happens the kind that falls, so

it seems to me that... this whole situation with such destruction of them just makes us stronger against their background, because we still create something, we are still constructive, and it seems to me that in it is, of course, very important to show such a context, well, not quite, but a cultural one and to feel like a person, and it seems to me that ukrainians remain people in spite of everything, and this is the most important thing, not only there for culture, not only for... any industry, economy, today we are talking about international politics, well, about everything, about everything, and the fact that we , it seems to me that today such a conclusion is very important, that we remained human, and this is very, very important, in general in connection with this plot, i want to say, well , in advance, perhaps some question why i do not tell about the weather that was observed last year, but i would not like to turn it into some such list of dry facts, the only thing i can say is that october

was, on... the hottest month in the entire history of meteorological observations, that is, after all, we are warming up, we are warming up, but i will not draw premature conclusions either, i do not like predictions at all, despite the fact that i have been engaged in them all my life, but still it seems to me that this is the kind of prediction of humanity, it must necessarily come true, and we show it , due with such a topic that i have chosen, i want to recall a list of many. incredible promotions , cultural events that have taken place and will continue to take place, i want to tell about one, an ordinary physical education teacher, who at one time was simply fascinated by vasylkivska ceramics, which, by the way, to great regret, was almost destroyed, because the factory does not work, it was still long before the war, by the way, and he literally piece by piece collected this incredible, incredible collection of our authors, and he is an ordinary kyiv school

made a museum... and believe me, it is a museum of a very high level.
