submits, these are people who have tens of thousands of hryvnias in debt, as i understand it, so 7,000 is official, and well, let's be honest, i also delay payments for utility bills, i am also a debtor, but i try to pay, now many people have such delays yes, well, but we just have to say that we talked even with experts, that the government just, well, let's talk, takes such steps, a priori cancels the moratorium on not suing for... well, but i always try to prove there some acceptable amount and close it too there are not always opportunities, there are different situations in life , there are people who do not have a job now, they have no income, someone is sick, somewhere the house has been destroyed, well, there are many problems, the only question is that if there are people who can pay and do not pay consciously, then this is a question of who should be

the issue of tariffs is painful for many consumers in our country to solve, and it is not ending, the war continues, and the rise in prices for utility services will continue in the future, unfortunately. we go further, because of the heat, the harvest of grain and oil crops will be smaller. the ukrainian grain association updated its forecast for grain crops, lowering expectations by almost 3 million tons. they hope to collect about 72 million tons from the fields, they say they had to revise the figures. due to the drought, it hit the ripening of late crops, this situation will also significantly undermine the export potential of agrarians, which in turn will reduce the inflow of foreign currency to ukraine, unfortunately. in ukraine , the online platform partner moua was launched. it is designed to facilitate cooperation with manufacturers and suppliers of rear assets for the armed forces. suppliers on this site. can apply for

an inspection of a sample of real property in order to obtain a certificate of conformity or to conduct research tests of the product. all appeals submitted through the portal are considered officially accepted. let's hear what kind of initiative this is. our goal was to eliminate all corruption risks and increase the efficiency of the use of cash funds. what advantage is there in this? ah, when is it? the portal gives access to a wider range of suppliers, improves quality and variety of property and if it is automated it ensures timely delivery of all goods. all purchases in the ministry of defense, which we carry out, were not only effective, but also transparent and understandable, for society, for the armed forces of ukraine, for ours. the main customer,

let's say so, and for the entire public, who observe how effectively we work, it's really interesting, i hope, and the initiative will be effective, let's move on, 120 billion hryvnias must be collected for ukraine at the expense of increasing taxes, this money is needed by the end of the current year, minister of finance serhiy marchenko said in an interview with rbc ukraine. the governor noted the increase. collections will still not allow to completely cover the needs of the army and the hole in the budget still exists, and there are no items of expenditure that could be reduced. currently, the government expects that these nearly 122 billion hryvnias will be mobilized through an increase in the military levy and a number of other fiscal measures. what are these fiscal measures and how much will the main tax rates increase recovery in ukraine, we will talk about it with oleg penzeny, executive. rector

of the economic discussion club. good evening. good evening. mr. olezh, it is clear that we will not talk about additional taxes on the purchase of a new car with the first registration, or on the purchase of real estate, or jewelry. i am interested in how much the increase in the military levy will be able to fill the state coffers, and how much the increase in the value-added tax is postponed for now, or for time. it will be soon, because it is clear that money the budget needs, well, look, you said it right, according to various estimates of additional revenues, there are 120, from 122 to 140 billion , depending on how you count, the direct need is half a trillion, and you and i understand that actually these 122 billion, which you say it's part. the rest is planned at the expense

of reducing the service of the state debt somewhere by 70-80 billion, and the latter at the expense of bonds of the domestic state loan, let's be honest, it is unlikely that we will be able to at the expense of ovdp additionally, in addition to those of the funds that are currently collected every tuesday at auctions for the sale of ovdp, collect 170-180 billion there. why am i talking about this? this is your answer to that, and when you and i return to raising the value-added tax, as soon as we understand that the vat will save us. we will understand how the ovdp will not save us, the issue of value added tax will immediately begin. actually, the military levy that we are talking about now is 64 to 70 billion.

danger? the danger is that the collection of an additional war tax, that is , a war tax, from businesses may lead to the fact that businesses simply... well, they will go into the shadows, that is, we will not collect their main taxes either, i just want to remind you that 1.7 trillion, which is currently hanging in the state budget as income for this year, is a purely conditional figure that must be collected before the end of the year, that is, it is not live money that can be used today, but it is money that we still need to collect, but the salaries of the soldiers, sorry, monetary support, in september months already today pays nothing. mr. oleg, it is true that we cannot avoid taxes, but to what extent, in particular , the reset of the customs, which the government also began to actively talk about today, hinting that the imf is also insisting on this, we are just about to reset the customs, the reset of the tax,

the activation is greater work of the bureau of economic security, how effective are these measures in filling the state budget, or is this not enough? well, look, so... what you're talking about is shadow fighting economy, it is the fact that at the moment uah 750-800 billion is not paid into the budget every year, tell me, please, did you and i not fight against the shadow economy in the 23rd year, or in the 22nd year we were reloading at the same time under any government, i remember this many times, listen, we always fought, and what was the result of the struggle, well, everything remained in place, so there is hope, that is... in the past years, nothing was successful, but now suddenly it will be, i repeat once again, there must be extremely effective measures that will force the shadowy sector to come out into the light at least a little, because all the additional taxes that you and i are talking about now are taxes on whom, they are

taxes on the already normally working light business, they are taxes on legal citizens of ukraine who already pay personal income tax... and this is how they pay the military levy, that is, those taxes on you and me, on legal people, and those who receive salaries in envelopes, there will be no military levy, even if you raise it to 20%, those who sit in the shadows, there is value added tax it won’t be, even if you raise it to 25, that’s what the question is, the question is how to extract that sector, because there is no more money in the legal sector, it's difficult there, excuse me, please, cut another big chunk of wool. to a girl who is already, please excuse me, shaved on the night, well , let's be honest, people don't have extra money at the moment, so when you and i really look at things, i think that the only source is a shadow business in ukraine, of course, there will not be enough money from bonds, taxes, well

, really not in full temporary effect, there really is no more wool to shear the sheep, also savings on debt restructuring. well, this is also a temporary phenomenon, of course, but how to remove the shadows, in particular this business, when the charges will increase and the business will only hide wealth in the future, the shadow sector will only grow, maybe some recommendations, maybe your expert advice for the authorities? look, i have repeatedly said, i repeat again, as one of the mechanisms, the memory economic reservation, well, excuse me, why do i keep talking about it, well, because the five bills are at the top. none of them are brought even for the first reading in the session hall, although it is absolutely clear that a responsible business, even a gray business, which wants to keep its employees in the workplace, it will look for opportunities to book these employees, clearly, well,

that is, this is a way, well, not entirely dark , not quite black, at least gray business to bring light, the one that today pays the minimum wage. the latter pays extra in an envelope, if it is placed in conditions where full payment of wages and corresponding taxes from this will be a guarantee that his employees will stay at... workplaces and not go on mobilization, i think he will go for it, and it will be an absolutely effective way, at least partially, to bring the gray business to the light. well , here, in particular , members of the so-called white business club will receive reservations, the law has recently appeared in the world, it is possible that entrepreneurs will join this club and the recipients will receive such a motivation for booking employees, they will pay taxes accordingly. look, according to today's mechanism. which is by decree the cabinet of ministers, there are quite a lot of requirements that hardly a small business that

pays taxes can pull, some kind of shop, i don't know, there is a coffee shop, there is something else, they definitely will not fall under the requirements for the white business club, things have to be done , which will be extended to the whole business, not just the big or privileged, thank you, well, this really confirms many times your thoughts and opinions ... of the experts who sounded in this studio, regarding economy booking, vasyl, this is mathematics, and of course, what those entrepreneurs who will work will pay taxes, and when there is no one to work, then there are no taxes and no salaries for the military, this is mathematics. oleg penzyn, the executive director of the economic discussion club, was in touch, i will conclude the column about money during the war on this, the big broadcast is going on, there will be more to come, watch us. thank you oleksandr morchivka and thank you in an interesting and accessible way about important things

that directly affect our lives and our future. well, now the plot is for your attention: president volodymyr zelenskyi said, that her plan to achieve peace in ukraine will be ready by the end of november this year. what are its accents and options? our journalists found out. let's watch. if china is not going to the... peace summit, then kuleba is going to china. the visit of the ukrainian minister of foreign affairs to guangzhou was a surprise for many. in june, the people's republic of china defiantly ignored an invitation to the peace summit in switzerland. nato openly accuses the sky of supporting russian aggression, and the united states threatens it with sanctions. however, in ukraine they understand: china too big and influential to be offended, or to... ignore the visit of a ukrainian official at such a level for the first time

in many years, and that is good, there is a clear signal that china supports the territorial integrity and sovereignty of ukraine. and it was also confirmed what chinese leader xi jinping had told me that china would not supply weapons to russia. dmitry kuleba was invited to guangzhou by the local people. of foreign affairs wang-yi, the second person in the chinese hierarchy after xi jinping. the conversation lasted more than three hours, the people's republic of china continues to call russian aggression a ukrainian crisis, but once again expressed his readiness to help achieve peace, precisely peace, not a truce, dmytro kuleba emphasized. i spoke about the importance of a just peace, not just any peace. and my chinese colleague himself added that... what is fair and long-lasting is very important, because

usually it is we who constantly say that peace must be permanent, that is, long-lasting and fair. but what does a just peace mean for china? pakin officially calls the expansion of nato the east, its peaceful, as the cause of the war the proposals essentially equate the victim and the aggressor. the russian federation is not going to give up its strategic partnership with russia, but nevertheless. china is not the only country that has a real influence on the kremlin, and therefore ukraine and the west would like to see paks at the second peace summit, for which preparations are already underway. there will be no point in the negotiations if the russians lead them as they have done in the past, putting forward terms of surrender, but without russia and china at the table , there really will be no peace talks. china could play the role of the major global player that it is there is no doubt in the economy. in finance, but perhaps no longer in the politics of coercion for peace. china's position as a potential mediator

is further strengthened against the background of the dramatic and unpredictable american election, which weakens the united states and frightens its allies. president joseph biden's refusal to bog down, although it added enthusiasm to the democrats, further confused the prospects of american support for ukraine. on the one hand, vice president kamala harris. that in the event of her victory, the white house will generally continue the current course with regard to ukraine, but haris herself - a person with no experience in international affairs and likely to rely completely. the head of the president's office andriy yermak already had a telephone conversation with his advisers, with the key diplomat philip gordon. according to the wall street journal, the garis administration is unlikely to find a place for the main appointees of president biden, including secretary of state anthony blinken, secretary of defense lloyd austin and

national security advisor jake sullivan. so, will there be a level of support, at least yes. like under president biden who had a special attitude towards ukraine, unanswered questions. on the other hand, donald trump. he promises to end the war in 24 hours and claims to have his own peace plan. the publication politico previously reported that his team is apparently seriously considering the option of the agreement with the kremlin, which provides for territorial concessions to ukraine and its refusal to join nato. after meeting with trump on the sidelines of the republican party convention, ex-prime minister of great britain boris johnson published his version of the peace plan in the tabloid newspaper the daily mail, there about increasing military support to ukraine, plans to push russia to the borders on february 24 , and measures to protect the rights of russian speakers in

ukraine to help putin save face. finally, they presented their version. the us secretary of state in the trump administration , mike pompeo, and david urban, the head of a lobbying company close to the republicans. they claim that the way to peace lies through force, which means that it is necessary to strengthen military support for ukraine, remove all bans on strikes deep into russia, lower world oil prices in order to weaken the economy the russian federation, and ultimately, to accept ukraine into nato. which of these plans? is really trump's plan, it is unlikely that trump himself knows it today, he is an impulsive and unpredictable person, which means that his victory will create both new opportunities and great risks for ukraine. president zelenskyi called me, we had a good talk, and i said that this war must be ended, you are dealing with the russian

war machine, all they do is wage war, they have defeated the ghetto. defeated napoleon, the spring offensive never took place, the russians have millions of shells and thousands of tanks, many russians were killed, but many ukrainians were also killed, this should not have happened. are ukrainians themselves ready for possible negotiations? a poll by the razumkov center, conducted in june on the order of the dzerkalo tzhyny edition, showed that 44% of ukrainians believe that during the peace talks on... while 35% disagree with this opinion, but this is tylu's opinion, what the front thinks, sociologists do not know , the defense forces continue to make incredible efforts to restrain the enemy in order to ukraine, if the time for negotiations really comes, was in the strongest possible position.

trump turns out to be a historian, when it was the russians who defeated napoleon, i just can’t remember, napoleon was defeated at waterloo, and it wasn’t the russians at all, the russians ran around russia from napoleon until he just froze, the food didn’t run out, and had to turn back, under the beard they seemed not to win, hitler was defeated, as stalin told beria that if it were not for western help, then you and i, lavrinti, would be shooting back beyond the urals, this is a victory over hitler, and that's why, well, trump, you see, he's such a well-versed historian, why didn't he mention the crimean war, by the way, why didn't he mention how the ukrainian cossacks stopped the ottomans near khotyn together with po'. the army, that is , we too, as if we did not fall from the sky and know how to fight, but with trump, as they say, logic always lies in his desire, his desire to negotiate with putin is obvious. yes, well, i say goodbye to you until tomorrow, until 18:10, then the weather on the espresso tv channel.

synoptic hello to all, our dear viewers, we are from we will talk about the weather that is expected for... tomorrow is august 1, so july ends, somehow it's even a little sad, despite the fact that it hurts us so much with the heat and in the usual heat, but nevertheless, the less summer, the autumn is approaching, well , let's not rush, after all, summer is ahead, but now we will talk with you about what august is usually like, that is , a brief climatic characteristic of august, this information from our ukrainian hydrometeorological center, all statistical data and... let's look a little go on like this an approximate forecast, which of course is compiled by the ukrainian hydrometeorological center, so the average monthly air temperature in august is usually. according to long-term statistical data, it is 18-25°. the absolute minimum air temperature is 1.7 degrees, on

the coast of the seas it is 8:13 degrees, in the north, east, in volyn and zaporozhye regions in places even 0.2 degrees of frost, according to long-term data, this is the absolute minimum, the absolute maximum is 35.7 39.8 and in the south. in the east in many central regions of ternopil oblast and even chernihiv oblast sometimes 40-42°. i think this data will be updated this year. average monthly rainfall is 30-97 mm. it is clear that in the carpathians it is much more, 104-120 mm. well, here is the approximate forecast of the average monthly air temperature and amount of precipitation in august 2024. i emphasize this forecast of the ukrainian hydrometeorological center. the average monthly air temperature is expected to be 20-26°, which is 2° above the norm. monthly precipitation is expected to be between 34-77 mm,

which is within normal limits. therefore, there will be precipitation within the normal range, and the temperature will be slightly higher than normal air. this is how august happens and will be in ukraine. we go further and move on to the behavior of the earth's magnetic field. for your attention, the prognostic diagram shows that there will be small fluctuations, but already. such strong magnetic storms, as there were recently, are not predicted, and actually the weather forecast for the first of august, we start from the western regions, and well, the weather, to be honest, so far, compared to today, there will be no change yesterday and tomorrow, but that is not less, precipitation is not expected in the western regions of ukraine, air temperature comfortable, 24-27°, in the north of ukraine, in the zhytomyr region. dry weather will also prevail in kyiv region, chernihiv region, and sumy region, with an air temperature of 25-28 degrees above zero. in the eastern part of ukraine, the anti-cyclonic nature of the weather without

much precipitation, dry air mass, it is getting a little warmer, so to speak, 27-30 above zero. in the central part of ukraine, 27-29°, in the dnipropetrovsk region it can sometimes jump up to +30°, without precipitation. well, it is expected in the southern part of ukraine. dry, hot weather with an air temperature of 28-31°. in kyiv 1 in august, the air temperature will fluctuate within +27°, precipitation is not expected. we thank july, and of course we welcome august and want it to be calm, er, warm, peaceful, and most importantly, for everything to be as we need it, and of course, as specified. always check out our best espresso channel for weather forecasts. good evening. we are from ukraine. glory to ukraine, dear

tv viewers. on the air of the espresso tv channel, the west studio program. we will analyze the most important events of this week. in particular, we will talk about extremely important ones international negotiations that took place. at different diplomatic tables, at the same time we will talk about a new concept of war and voice new doctrinal approaches. our guests today are roman bezsmertny and glen grant. our first guest is retired british army colonel glen grant, renowned military expert. glory to ukraine, dear mr. colonel, god save the king. glory to the heroes, god, protect the king, thank you. extremely. important speech, the london speech of general ambassador valery zaluzhny, so we understand that he outlined the strategic

perspective and very clearly indicated what things we should change and what we should prepare for in the west, he called the russian aggression against ukraine in the current phase a war of transition . i would like to ask you now to analyze the most important messages that the general gave. zaluzhnyi and how they were read in the west, in particular in london. it is important that people understand that this speech was of great importance because it was delivered at the royal joint institute for defense studies, which is the british government's think tank with defense issues this institute plays a similar role in great britain as the rent corporation for the american government and the pentagon. the speech was important and the hall was completely filled. numerous high-ranking officials from the ministry of foreign affairs and the ministry of defense were present, as such speeches take place.

quite rare, so as this was his first such speech and as it took place immediately after his arrival, what he said will be received with great attention. what did he say? first of all he outlined the challenges war at this time. he went on to touch on the topic of transition, stressing that while current warfare is similar in many ways to world war ii and world war i, modern tools such as drones and... electronic warfare are changing the way we fight war directly battlefield the essence of war does not change, people still die and will die, and there will always be a bloody battle between opposing sides, but the overall structure of how war will be fought is changing. now the significance of this is going to be whether people believe it, that's the first thing, whether people really believe it,

even though it's... says the former head of the defense department: there are a lot of people in the west who still think that the way the west is doing right now military actions, will remain unchanged in the future, in other words, the use of tanks, the use of armored vehicles and other uses of drones, but not like now and not in the same amount as now in ukraine, because people will see that from the west there will be much more aviation, combat helicopters and artillerymen. than can be from the side of ukraine. this will change the balance towards how the west would like to fight. but this is also a big but, if zaluzhny is right, and i suspect he is largely right, maybe not 100%, but even if he is only 60% right, it still means that most western armies are very , are very, very behind in their processes of change and in their understanding of how they think

war should be fought. this has serious implications for military training and personnel selection. for example, great britain does not selects it specialists for battalions, while, as in ukraine, each battalion is looking for its it specialist, its engineer, who will manage drones and other technologies. we don't do that in the uk, and what i'm wondering is, after this conference, are people going to go and say, we need to change our thinking, or are they going to go? they will say, no, he does not understand how strong we are and how we are going to fight. i agree with you, this is an extremely serious challenge, on the other hand, i do not want to draw parallels with events that were 100 years ago, so we understand that we are talking about the so -called little entente, and we are talking about the polish-bolshevik-ukrainian war, so in 1920, so we understand that poland

also wanted 100 years ago... to get more help, so ? unfortunately, many things turn out to be incomplete, unrealized, and accordingly, we need to understand, yes, whether the story of a powerful military, central european power will be supported by the appropriate amount of resources, that is, not only by these or that political statements, but by specific military resources, yes, if we will wage war until we win. that is, regardless of what will happen in the united states, whether trump will come, whether geris will come, kamela and so on. we have to understand different scenarios. war is also about resources, human resources are currently being developed by the personnel department of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, yes, this is when we talk about mobilization, but a long, long war that would work to the full depth of the strategic defense of the enemy, it

requires. there can be no very clear coordination such that we were promised and not given. you make a lot of points, i think if the history of the last two years has taught us anything, it's that we won't get everything we 're promised, i'm sure it will continue to be the case, the promises will often be greater than what which is actually being done, but let me focus on one point: the f-16. everyone is talking about delays. these delays arise exclusively from the ukrainian side, and not from the west. the problem is the lack of pilots who know english to conduct training. there is also a lack of technical skills staff and engineers who could acquire the necessary skills. i know from my own experience that there are engineers in the armed forces who do not get into the program and that is because the personnel system in the defense forces is not working, not only that…
