this, when, this, sorry, i will intervene sometimes, you, you will forgive me already, i just remember the soviet times, because i have been since the 70s, eh, then the dollar exchange rate, then the ruble, the dollar was worth 65 soviet kopecks , yes, that's why it was also a very cool course, but you simply couldn't buy currency first, if you didn't have a permit to travel abroad, but the course was very cool, i'm the kind that it was already, this it was already, and yes, and yes, but i will add it. it was well, for some reason i remembered 67 kopecks for a dollar there plus or minus yes, but let's say then and about the black exchange rate of the ruble to the soviet karbovy on the market, and it was 20 karbovy for one dollar, i.e. the official 60 there are 5-7 kopecks, on the black market immediately 20 karbovy, this is to understand that in fact there was one economy that was reported , and another economy that... was in real life, and

this gap in economies, among other things, it also influenced the fact that the soviet union, as they say, disappeared from history, because there were big problems with the economy there, and now, by the way, the trajectory is repeating itself, you know, i also remember very well when in my mother's book there were a lot of soviet rubles, well , my father had a lot too, but you couldn’t buy anything special with them, well, you could buy them, people bought some furs, gold, who... wanted to invest money, but in principle, you couldn't buy a wide range of consumer goods, even though you had rubles, so why were you paid every month there 220, someone 120, someone 250 rubles, someone 500, well there will be different salaries, but this, as i say , of course it will not be repeated, because that was another story, and now there is a story, when russia, despite the huge loss of profits by gazprom, continues to sell gas and oil, still, according to your sober assessment... there can

be a black swan, it can fly from anywhere and something so unexpected will happen, it can always be like a disappearance, well now they say that it was arranged by the sausages of the sleepers in moscow, which led to protests, anything can happen, we understand this absolutely, but if you look at the sober situation, and at the rate of trade with russian partners, not only with partners, they trade with the west, which now are kept as long as russia has enough money for a big war, i am not saying that they will stop altogether, but for a big one. war, how long will this money be enough for them? i understand that the economic and foreign market conditions for russia will not be better for them. certainly, you know, when we talk about gas and gas trade with russia, we have to remember that china is now saying that they are ready to buy more gas from russia on one condition that russia will sell them gas at the domestic price, and i will remind you that in russia, gas is subsidized, that is, it is below the cost price, it turns out like this, that is, china... aspires, or rather,

tells russia that it is ready to buy below the cost price, which will mean a loss for russia, and as for, in general, how much money is enough, well, there is only 4.6 trillion rubles in russia, the federal reserve bank, in in the month of june, russia took 453 billion rubles from this fnb, well, almost there, let's round it to half a trillion, that is, if russia is further, here we are now literally receiving data for several days... for the month of july, but if we consider that russia takes half a trillion per month , then it turns out 10 months, it will already be 5 trills, that is, russia does not have 5 trills, that is, 10 months is the period that we can give to russia, because a year is already too much, and that, and this despite the fact that we use data from the ministry of finance of russia, this is important, therefore that many of the specialists say that they give unreliable data, so... because we can't be

100% sure that they have this 4.63, you know, mr. ivan, it's a pleasure to talk to you, because here i i listen to an intelligent person who adequately assesses the situation, because these are videos on youtube of individual bloggers, tv channels, it happened, i will be ukrainian, a terrible, terrible thing happened, russia's economy is collapsing, putin found out about the terrible thing, the economy has two days left, well, people are listening to it, reading it, thinking, so why isn't russia collapsing, why are they, no, there is a certain process that is ongoing, but here is your assessment that... until a year of this intensity, i agree with her somewhere, and we literally have a moment of time, i will ask how we should live, because you know, as they say, while fat , will lose weight, thin and die, the situation is not easy for us either, although we have support from our partners, but now we have to receive a grant from the united states of america of 3.9 billion dollars, but the war also consumes huge resources, mobilization, more people are fighting, well, that is, it is not easy for us either, how can we maintain parity approximately, we literally have 50 seconds, but what to do, how , what are our chances. the first thing is not to quarrel with our partners, because we

are very dependent on them, and if our partners tell us to do something, we must listen. as for the domestic economy, well everybody's talking about raising taxes right now, you know, in part... you agree because we have a problem 13.6 billion us dollars is a negative surplus for trade in goods, it must be reduced partly due to the increase in taxes on cars, cars are imported from us, so the figure will decrease, and as for other steps, well , it is definitely difficult, but it does not mean that it is impossible, therefore, it is realistic to look for opportunities, as it is possible to already adapt the economy, by the way , to do even better and i do not think that it is impossible, therefore there are also certain resources for the future, and not to quarrel... is this what you mean, at least to come to the meeting with ms. pritske, who came to kyiv, or what exactly? in that including meeting panicky, and if partners say that you have a problem here, then don't say, don't brush it off, but say: "if they say customs, then customs, and

not tell that you don't know there, they know and they even knew where the attack was coming from, as it turned out, that is, our partners are very financially powerful and professional. thank you very much for the conversation, and most importantly, for the sober and clear assessments of the current situation nauk was in touch with us, well, i'm in favor such a state of affairs for less than a year, russia can hold out at such a pace, well, we must hold out. greetings, this is svoboda live on radio svoboda. we have already come to the snake itself. the following shots may shock you. news from the scene. live, kamikaze drone attacks, political analysis, objectively and meaningfully, there is no political season, exclusive interviews, reports from the hottest points of the front. freedom life,

is trying to make this civilization disappear, if we are at the forefront of this civilization, then we need to help and support, because darkness is ahead. rebuild okhmadit, the scandalous tender for the reconstruction of a children's hospital, will be canceled and re-conducted transparently. this, by the way, is good news, the minister of health of ukraine, viktor, informed about this at the briefing lyashko for this purpose, next week they will create a supervision. the audit board, which will approve the criteria for the tender participants, it will include representatives of the ministry of health, the administration of the ohmada hospital and the largest benefactors, well, it's great that the people who gave the money will monitor who they are, who will dispose of this money, this is a very cool idea and the best control. all the funds that were collected for the ohmadit charity fund will be transferred to the hospital's treasury account, according to the general director of the hospital for security mothers of motherhood. and childhood works at 60-70%. we write out the criteria and then

proceed according to the procedure provided for by the current legislation, because the funds become exclusively state funds, and we dispose of them as provided for by the relevant regulations, we announce through the prozoro procedure, the criteria for the announcement, who can apply, what the criteria should be to the contractor will be indicated there, coordinated with this supervisory and audit board, and we actively involve our process, our purchaser, the state medical enterprise, in this process purchases, i am even ashamed of those people who went out to launder this money, ashamed of these companies that use this platform, this opportunity to steal or make, and i have big questions. to those companies that left without tax certificates, knowing

that they, i'm sorry, have criminal scandals behind them, this case definitely needs to be investigated, but it happened like that, i won't preach it now with anecdotes, let's not start yet, when the man came to the restaurant and ordered, ate, ate, ate, and then when they brought it his account, he says, has already begun, well , that's how it began, thank god that the public paid attention, activists paid attention, journalists paid attention, this story was stopped. as they say, it didn't work, and i hope that now everything will be done honestly, transparently, and most importantly, the hospital will be rebuilt qualitatively, efficiently and for adequate money, in fact, which should have happened from the beginning, but someone thought that he was smarter than others, no, not smarter. the well to win, the will to win, started a multimedia project under this name, which tells about incredible willpower and resilience of our athletes. despite the dramatic challenges of war, personal losses and...suffering , they overcome numerous obstacles and demonstrate to the world the will to win. we present a series

of short stories about ukrainian athletes. my name is yuliya levchenko, i am an athlete, i specialize in high jump. i am a medalist of the world cup and a finalist of the olympic games. and also me... i was born in the city of bakhmut and i really dreamed of coming there, but now this city no longer exists, i have nowhere to go go.

for me, the opportunity to be on the international stage, to appear in the uniform of the national team, is a chance to show that the ukrainian team, the country of ukraine exists, that we have the right to perform, we have the right. for the life that was available to us before all the terrible things that began to happen. at the beginning, when the full-scale invasion began, i ... thought that my sport was everything, that was the end of it, i did not think that i would continue to do sports at all, then after a while with the support of the whole world i managed to return to training, to competitions, but of course in the first attempts to return to the competitive arena, they were very difficult, because you go out and you do not understand what you are doing here,

you feel that you are not in your place, and in general that is all it doesn't matter, it's important that people die in our country, that we have... a war, how can it be important at all, i came to understand that each person should do what he knows best, and i looked at sports from the other side, what should to do what i know how to do, just last week i returned from the championship of ukraine, and i was like this the situation when the athlete was standing, preparing for his record attempt, and the siren started, and here he is standing, he will not run into the bomb. storage, because he will not have this moment in his life anymore, he has to choose on the edge of life and death, whether to jump his record now, or to save his life, because you never know, now a rocket will fly here next to you or not? i want to remind the world that this is not normal, that we deserve a calm, quiet life, that we are

the largest country in europe, and we are very much asking for support, help, and we are waiting for our overall victory honor to ukrainian athletes and eternal memory to dead ukrainian athletes, zhan belynyuk, olympic champion and people's deputy of ukraine said that during the full-scale invasion, 489 ukrainian athletes died in this war, either from russian strikes or defending our land at the front, and about this it is worth speaking at the olympics, so honor, respect and praise to those who

protect the honor of ukraine, eternal memory is given to those who laid down, giving their lives for... our state, konstantin zhivago is in touch with us, he is an entrepreneur, a philanthropist, mr. kostyantyn, i congratulate you, i congratulate vasyl, i congratulate the tv viewers, today we will have an important conversation, it is important not only for business, but also for every citizen, because in one way or another everything is connected in us, and we will actually talk about these connections. the verkhovna rada of ukraine adopted draft law number 1184 on amendments to the tax code of ukraine regarding the peculiarities of tax administration during martial law for taxpayers. with a high level of voluntary compliance with tax legislation, in particular it is proposed to increase the rates of the military tax to 5%, and also to establish the obligation to pay the increased military tax to fops for the sale of real estate, mobile communication providers, as well as those who sell jewelry in general to increase to 30%. these are the conditions. well, in your opinion, how

fair are such increases, will they not lead to the destruction of small and medium-sized businesses, and maybe not only. small and medium, how they will hit the incomes and pockets of citizens who actually work in this business. please. thank you. actually, it is a very important issue because it concerns the financing of the armed forces of ukraine. in the second half of the year, we lack 500 billion hryvnias in order to adequately fight and repel this aggression of the russian federation, and the most important thing is to do better for our country, for our people, for our nation. and in this situation. the position of the ministry of finance is clear, that of the cabinet of ministers, who propose to the verkhovna rada to increase taxes, we have talked about this many times before, without increasing taxes it will be impossible for us to finance the war, and therefore everyone should be ready for that and should have been ready for the fact that taxes will increase, the only situation is which taxes to increase, how to increase them, in order

to minimize the negative effect of the increase of these taxes for the economy of ukraine and for entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship, and all situations, what i want to say is actually a 15%, 30% increase in taxes for which luxury goods, luxury goods, it is necessary now for car registration is necessary now, why, because well, you can postpone such purchases if necessary and for the post-war period, after the war is over, god willing, we will defend our sovereign right to a sovereign state, to our sovereign people, and in this situation we must understand if we do not increase taxes. then we have all the risks of losing both the territories and the country, and tell me, please, who cares what small, medium, or large businesses exist today in the occupied territories. today, be it luhansk, donetsk, kherson, zaporozhye region or crimea, nothing exists there, nothing for ukraine exists, because in some of those cities there is no

business as such, and where it exists in crimea, it already pays taxes to the russian budget, not to the ukrainian budget, in order to receive both our social benefits and our people, and our army, so taxes must definitely be raised, we are now faced with the choice that without raising taxes we will not be able to finance our own... security, our own defense, our own defense. the only thing i would like to say in this situation is that luxury taxes are definitely necessary to increase, if a person wants to buy something there and he can't wait to buy it now, let him pay this tax. if he understands that it is expensive, then he can wait for the end of hostilities, the abolition of these taxes, martial law and then buy a car or real estate or the rest of everything. that is, in this situation, a person has a choice. concerning. raising military levy taxes to 5% and a partial discussion in society by the ministry of finance whether to increase vat, this is an issue that requires

a professional approach, because if 5% in military levy will be introduced now, it means that enterprises from the source of deduction, that is, deducting wages and or issuing wages to employees of the enterprise or legally... will itself deduct 5% of this levy to the state budget, and it will be from the source. another situation is what could be done through an increase in vat and say: let's put money in a person's pocket, and the person himself, without this military levy, will decide what to buy, how much to spend on any goods, any products, whatever - that in the shops networks, or in society, in the economy, and thereby give a person the opportunity to make a choice, spend his own money and pay what taxes from it, it is definitely easier to administer the military levy, although it is so difficult to administer vat, here it is necessary that

experts, specialists look and they said, either it is better to tax it at the source through a military levy, or it is better to collect the same amount of taxes through an increase in vat, which today is 20% in our country, and there are various discussions going on about it... it will be 22.5 or 23 or 24%. but taxes are necessary raise and understand that if we do not raise taxes, then we risk losing what we are protecting today. we must say today that it is better to pay more and live in a free, sovereign country, which is called ukraine, a sovereign, free, democratic ukrainian society and ukrainian people, than, god forbid, today not to calculate everything that is necessary for the armed forces to have ... money for our protection and our defense and after that lose what we have today and so with such tension protect, and i will only add from myself,

i completely agree with your position, it is completely correct and i understand that in a free country in the country of the winner you can always earn and there will be opportunities to earn, by the way, today i read about the event of german investors who buy or cement or brick factories in ukraine, that is, even now some business is coming and people will have jobs. these jobs are created , there is interest, that is, it will always be possible to earn, even if somewhere today you limit yourself in something, here is only a question of course, it is very important, again, i am adding this myself, it is important that the anti-corruption bodies also work well and do not give someone the opportunity to put something in their pockets, i am not talking about business now, i am talking about people who want to business, as they say to get rich or earn, here it should be to steal, to steal, it is not to earn, it is to steal, yes... in the explanatory note to this draft law, which we talked about with you, number 11084, it is stated , that with its help the tax system will be implemented administration of a new generation, i.e. a new

sample of some new quality, according to which ukrainian entrepreneurs receive a non-fiscally oriented controller, a certain person in the role of a tax inspector with his personal approach, as i understand it, a client -oriented manager who will help simplify the life of ukrainian business, then whether he can this law to make such... profound changes and will we really finally get a fair fiscal service, or are these again only good intentions, and their implementation is still a long way off, please, vasyl, this is advertising, like everywhere, when they want to sell you something, they will say that it is the best product or product, or the rest of everything, believe me, well, we have good relevant tax inspection laws, they existed for 10 years, and for 20 years, they exist now, the main thing is that they executed because, well, since... we see with you corrupt or criminal tax officials who are exposed all the time, and many are not exposed, who in fact, probably supposed to be obeying all these laws, but

they are not obeyed, that's why ... well, this is the understanding that we get some kind of there a better tax office or better tax officials, but we don’t get anything, it’s advertising, we just have to live by the law and comply with all legal decisions, as people implemented them by tax officials and for 5 years, 10 years and are doing them now, so i look at it as simple on tax or business pr, which actually makes no sense, well... that there is no external to itself, that is, if you look at some internal things, well, all this is no different from what is now, what was a year, two years ago, three, five years ago, it is necessary to comply with the laws, if both tax officials and law enforcement officers will comply with the law and act according to the law, then there will be no need to say that some service will become better, it will be the best anyway, but actually, you know, on

the other hand, maybe advertising someday... well, that was voiced, if that happened, well, it would be very good, but in any case, i always, always understand that, if it does happen, then not as quickly as i would like. the legal act initiates the creation of the so -called white business club, we have already talked about this topic, and it will be discussed a lot, but it is interesting to talk about this topic with a person who understands the essence of business and can then evaluate such initiatives, so members of such a white business club will be able to receive a number of benefits. and an advantage in tax administration during martial law, in particular, let's be interesting, they get their own compliance manager, a complete ban on documentary checks will be introduced, with the exception of certain types and others. well , i wonder if, in your opinion , the creation of such a list will not lead to a split in society and increase the risks of dishonesty, well, that is, in the sense that someone may want to get into the club of white business in some other way and will try

to do it in general. the division between white and non-white, how effective is it, and then how to get there, if such preferences, such advantages it gives, vasyl, this is business racism, racism, if someone in the world is for racism, then they should be for the white club or gray or blue or red business, well, this is business racism, well, why do it, well, believe me, i want to ask questions all the time. there is at least a chance to compare, even close a similar law somewhere in some other country in the world, in the same way as anti-oligarchic legislation was adopted, if there are no anti-oligarchic laws in any country in the world, they are not in the united states, they are not in france, germany, or great britain , not in japan, even in communist china they don’t exist, why this populism about the fact that we... will have

anti-oligarchic laws, well, let’s introduce anti-ticket laws now, or anti-sniffing laws, well , the situation is the same today by this law on excuse me white business club, well, this is just business racism, some are white businesses, some are black businesses, there is no need to write about it in laws, there are no such laws in other countries of the world, this is a real logical and one hundred percent political... about it needless to say, this is solved by the fact that the tax authority itself, with its internal regulatory documents, decides whom it will check in every way, whom it will help, who it will provide some kind of advice to, provide a compliance manager, video conferences, anywhere, well, this is all done by internal documents, it is not done by the laws of ukraine, because such laws...
