this is not an abstract concept, give them 100 days, a year, give them a little more, every god's day we have losses, losses in people and in the territories, so there is no time for expansion at all, and, let's say, very controversial appointments that have a significant resonance , in principle , should not happen at all, regardless of what kind of friend he is or who he... is, but this is how it goes on, it is still probably the personal responsibility of the president, and then the question should be before him, that is, if he is not able to find new frames, then he must look for them someone else has thank you very much for joining, get well, volodymyr omylyan, a major of the armed forces of ukraine, a diplomat was in touch with us, so now we will see what will happen next, well, actually here... again, if i

i'm talking about a certain minister, we were talking about the minister of sports, it's not because you have any claims that the person should work, maybe he will really be successful in his position, but it already raises a lot of questions, well, a huge lot of questions, and people , who look, think, well, what is not there, cannot be assigned someone else, to whom there would be no questions, who would not have a father-in-law, was not suspected of aiding the enemy, and whose wife would not be wanted abroad, well, aren't there such people there, i'm looking. this photo, this father-in-law is an ex-deputy of the party of regions, so he looks a little like mikhail barclay, the former, yes, the former minister of this russian empire, all the epaulettes, the russian empire, everything, people there love russia, so why are you sitting here and climb into positions, to be honest , i don't understand these stories, i don't understand my colleague is already ready to talk about what will be discussed in the verdict program at 20:00.

serhiy rudenko, i think that personnel appointments will definitely become a topic of discussion. serhii, please give me the floor. congratulations to vasyl, today we have only one hour of the verdict, from 20 to 21, one guest is pavlo klimkin, a politician, diplomat and former minister of foreign affairs of ukraine. of course, let's talk about personnel changes in shmyhal's government and, in particular, in the foreign policy bloc, because now we have a new minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, andriy sybiga, who was a deputy. in kuleba and was yarmak's deputy in the office of the president of ukraine, and even earlier he was extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador to turkey. sybig replaced dmytro kuleba in this position. dmytro kuleba does not comment widely on his resignation statement, and according to some, according to some information, he was offered a position in european structures to supervise the issue of ukraine's future in nato. and the european union, so far

it seems that they have not waited for the answers from him, perhaps pavlo klinkin knows more about this, a person who definitely knows dmytro kuleba well too, and sybig, and of course, can characterize the period that was in foreign policy, starting from 2020, when kuleba got into shmyhal's government, first to the position of deputy prime minister of ukraine, and then to the minister of... donnykh affairs of ukraine. among other topics that will be in our program today is zelensky's victory plan. in just a few days, zelenskyy has to go to washington, where the un general assembly will take place. it is at the un general assembly that he is scheduled to meet joseph biden, the president of the united states america. and it is at this meeting that zelensky plans to present the plan for the victory of ukraine.

so far, no one has seen the outline of this plan, well, at least in the public space, and it would be interesting to know, actually, what this victory plan should consist of, well, at least we, ukrainians and society should know for sure, maybe pavlo knows about it klimkin, and we will talk with him exactly about this victory plan, not about the peace plan, not about the peace plan that was presented literally six months ago and then already considered at the... peace summit in switzerland, namely the victory plan of ukraine. what does this mean? well, among other things , let's talk about putin's peaceful, so-called peaceful initiatives, he says again that he is not against negotiations with the ukrainian state, but he insists that these negotiations be based on the istanbul agreements of 2022. you remember, after the russian army descended on the territory of ukraine, it was formed literally in a month. the negotiating group, which

started negotiations with the russian federation and the document of the future agreement between russia and ukraine was almost finalized, it in the final version of the discussion. already in istanbul in the 22nd year, well, putin says, let's go back to this, what is the threat to ukraine and what are the prospects of peace negotiations in general, or negotiations with the russian federation in general, we will hear from pavel klimkin, as well as forecasts and characteristics election campaign, which is currently underway in the united states of america, on september 10, a debate is scheduled to take place on abc news, between kamala harris and trump, two competitors in the election race, which means a victory for trump, which means a victory kharis in these elections, in fact, will also be the subject of our conversation with the former minister

of foreign affairs of ukraine. we start in 25 minutes, exactly at 8 p.m. stay on our channel, watch vasyl zima's big evening next, well, me. i will come to you exactly at 8 p.m., vasyl, i promise you. thank you, serhiy, we are waiting for the verdict program at 20:00, well, we already waited for oleksandr morchivka for money during the war. oleksandra, please, good evening. good evening, vasyl, i greet the audience. so, taxes and once again, taxes, the imf monitors and advises our government to do something to fill the state budget. we will talk in detail in a moment. this is a column about money during the war, i'm oleksandr morchenko, and in the next few minutes i'll talk about the economy. therefore, the international monetary fund considers the lack of resources in the tax increase bill to be obvious. the fund proposes to revise, in particular

to increase the vat. people's deputy danylo hetmantsev reported this. also, according to him , during the meeting with the authorities, the fund discussed, representatives of the fund discussed additional... tax on banks, but the discussion still ongoing i will only note that just yesterday we spoke with the president of the association of ukrainian banks, who says that it is not the time to raise fines for financial institutions, it was already raised last year, and it was agreed with the international monetary fund. andriy dubas said that it was such a one-time action, and now the banks are better prepared. buy, for example, bonds of the domestic state loan, which is also a tool for filling the state budget, rather than paying taxes, the purchase of ovdp by financial institutions will bring even more money. well, such discussions are currently ongoing, and by the way, the imf is going to

russia, and the fund will essentially become the first major international financial body to send its mission to the country of agra. the imf will start working in an online format on september 16, then it will go to moscow, they are going to meet with officials, vasyl, this, in my opinion, is a little, well, strange, strange, because now in conditions when the financial world is trying to limit credit as much as possible operations, banking operations, well, various financial ones. rods, so to speak, with our enemy, the imf is going to talk with officials, i think that maybe the imf wants to first understand the real state of the russian economy, well, not even the economy, but their financial market, financial opportunities, maybe

explain how it can end, well, that would be good, if this is the story, because the head of the national bank is not the national bank, but this state bank, the central bank, without communicating with her, it is possible that they really are. want to convey certain information, which can be and realistically assess the state of the possibility and the margin of safety in russia, perhaps the strength the financial sector, in particular, because it is the policy of the central bank that is now strangely, well , let's not hide it with the professionalism of the top management of the central bank, currently restraining this sector, but this cannot last forever, well , vasyl, i agree with you, on the one hand, but that's how i would like it. well, for example, this would be a good option, well, but it can be completely - but the president of the kyiv school of economics, timofii mylovanov , wrote an interesting article in particular, he says that the imf is now profitable to go to russia and talk in part, in part

transfer of the frozen assets of the aggressor country to our state, well, it is clear that for now the fund is abstract and does not really support the idea. to transfer interest on frozen assets to the european union, especially since the body of these assets is in our country, the european central bank is also against this and says that this is nonsense. not european financial stability, maybe there will be discussions about this in the kremlin, well , there are many topics that you can’t even guess about, but in any case, when they say why they can’t just give money, well, just take money from anywhere, there will be a void that needs to be filled with something, otherwise there will be an imbalance, yes, and an imbalance at such a level in the financial world, in europe, it can hit very hard, even you will not understand when and how, therefore, there should be no sudden movements here either, well, but i think that the conversation, if they talk to professionals. in russia, who are there, although they work for putin, but maybe they will understand each other, understand how it all can

end, if putin does not care what it is everything will end, well, vasyl, if we talk about interest from frozen assets once again, we were waiting for them at the end of august, well , they are not there, that’s it, and what will happen with taxes, they are taking care of the european business association, i will also continue this topic, reported that the entire financial and fiscal burden in... the consequence of the increase in fines will fall precisely on honest business, which already pays all taxes transparently. the european business association says that revenues to the state budget can be increased if the wall is effectively fought economy, increase the work of the economic security bureau, law enforcement officers and reform the customs, well, in the event of an increase, in particular, the tax on... added value, which is precisely what is discussed in the dialogue with the imf, may simply cease to exist.

let's go further. the government has already increased the amount of compensation for agricultural producers for the demining of agricultural land up to 100%. the payment of such services is fully borne by the state, so that the farmers who will take part in the initiative will be able to sow and harvest in the cleared areas next season. about this was said by the minister. yulia sveridenko of economics. the owners have already submitted 135 applications for the demining program , as much as uah 3 billion has been invested in the state budget. well, by the way , it is just a figure that ukrainian farmers are already using more than 150,000 hectares of arable land surveyed, cleared and demined by sappers , the ministry of economy reported. but for more than two years of the program's operation. own business, its winners were 19,500 ukrainians, in

their business, the budget invested almost uah 5 billion, grant recipients returned uah 3 billion to the treasury through paid taxes, that's how the initiative is really effective, the ministry of economy reported, the most willing to work for themselves are from lviv oblast, kharkiv oblast, ivano-frankivsk oblast, the vast majority of people plan to spend. non-refundable funds under the own business program for the purchase of equipment, the most popular areas in which the winners of the initiative work are trade, auto repair and processing industry. here are interesting figures, we see that almost 5 billion grants were issued by the state for their own business, and those people who started their own business with this money bought equipment, expanded to... hired people, expanded production, already returned 3 billion of this money to the budget, and the figure

will grow, well, i think it's really optimistic. the consumer market is a little pessimistic: potatoes are more expensive, they say that there will be a shortage due to drought this season, currently farmers are offering from 12 to 18 uah per kilo of potatoes, on average it is 16% more than at the end of last week - analysts say agency eastfruit. also, the price of potatoes is affected by high demand now. however, market participants do not predict a slowdown sales activity in the near future, well , it is clear that there is still something to sell, they say that now the prices for potatoes are the highest, at least for the last five seasons. well, this is the situation. and the british group unilever is selling the muscovy business, and the assets

of the arnest group, known for the production of diclofos in the country of agresortsi, will be acquired. the local government did give permission for the deal. the deal is estimated at almost 40 billion rubles, which is approximately 350 million euros. however, only a third of the real value of the foreign company's property. i remind you that now in the kremlin... they are reluctant to release international brands from russia, if they give permission for the sale of property, the sale of production facilities, then only... at a reduced maximum price, well, we see, unilever sells its property for a third of the cost, let me remind you, that this company is known for such brands as lipton, knor and rexon, but they waited for a decision, decided, and the company is known, protects its reputation and leaves

moscow, this was the last information from the world of money for today, i will say goodbye, watch us. thanks also to oleksandr moshivka for information about money, and now we, well , we are also returning to money, but we will contribute to the needs of the armed forces of ukraine. the espresso tv channel and the vesna charitable fund continue fundraising for the purchase of modern drones and electronic warfare systems for the third separate assault brigade, as well as... for the 110th and 47th mechanized brigades of the armed forces of ukraine. the defenders in the donetsk direction every day hold back enemy attacks, defend our freedom and future. our goal is uah 3.5 million. and you have all the details see on your screens. good health, dear ukrainians. we, the fighters of the first assault battalion of the third separate

assault brigade, who will defend our native land on the front line. we urgently need you. help, we need means of radio-electronic warfare against the enemy's small bpola and komikaji drones, we really ask for your help, glory to ukraine, heroes, glory, let's donate to our glorious soldiers, and now we'll talk about news from the field of culture, lina zhuchenina joins us, our art viewer, i'm glad to see you studio, you're not often here, but i'm really glad, it's nice. today everyone is lucky, i have come, good evening to our dear viewers, today we will talk about the newly appointed minister of culture and strategic communications. well, what can i say

, we had a ministry of culture and information policy, though. it was usually called the ministry of culture for short anyway, and now the ministry of culture and strategic communications, and the new minister is going to have the task of fighting disinformation, the name of the new minister is mykola tochytskyi, he was a diplomat, and now i interviewed several people there who knew him, worked with him, and well, as far as i understand, there are more positive comments about him than negative ones, i will remind you a little about him, in general about the fact that he became a minister is reported by completely different people's deputies in their own, somewhere on their sites, yaroslav zheleznyak also said this, iryna gerashchenko, and so on, journalists do not have access to decision-making centers, so

people's deputies inform us about all appointments, so mr mykola, he is the same. a group member, as andriy yermak's ukrainian pravda writes, and he worked as his deputy since april, and here already around this, too , a whole has flared up. we will remember him, in general, mr. mykola first studied to become a translator of french, from french-english, then to become a philologist, then he actually taught with yarmak. at the institute of international relations for a lawyer, and then he started working as a diplomat in various positions in different countries, he was a diplomat in luxembourg in belgium, he was the permanent representative of ukraine at the council of europe from the 10th to the 16th year, and since

september of the 21st year, he was the deputy minister of foreign affairs of kuleba and since... april this became deputy head of the office of president andriy yermak. well, what exactly do people expect from his activities, they expect, well, they themselves declare that the authorities, that they will fight with disinformation, and colleagues also point out that he, mr. mykola, presented his vision to the committee, but we that she is not at all saw, and therefore we are waiting. what, what, what are mr. mykola's plans, but here's what i've heard about him, i 've heard about him, that he's quite a good diplomat, that he was engaged in cultural diplomacy, in particular, about which... we talk a lot, we talk about , that it is extremely important now to use culture as a tool for our communication with foreigners, because this

tool is very powerful, and we have the resources, we are constantly fighting that, unfortunately, in the film industry, we have actually lost this opportunity, because we do not have but we don't have a strategy of state policy specifically in the film industry, unfortunately, but... maybe the minister of new culture and strategic communications will somehow deal with this, well, in order to actually understand how far at least in which direction his policy will go, we must still read his vision of the development of this department. let me remind you that before this the ministry was headed by rostislav karendeev, he was a temporary acting minister. of culture and information policy, my god, this department has already changed several times the name, oksana bilozir once thought that it should be the ministry of culture and tourism, but rostislav karendeev is called such

an eternal deputy minister, because he was a deputy under many ministers, and he actually has the image of such a very diplomatic, cautious, careful person, which will not conflict with anyone, he was even called quite convenient, and according to my sources and those of my colleagues, he was actually already considered for a minister, but at some point something went wrong and mykola tochytskyi was appointed, and if we talk about the ministry of culture, in any of its manifestations, the ministry of culture and tourism, information policy, or now strategic communications, then there has always, almost always, been a certain criticism of it. department that they say that everything is done wrong, wrongly, yevhen myshchuk also did not do everything right, i remember that the least criticism was precisely this first term of office of yevhen nyschuk, when he

had very good deputies, mostly it was lesya ostrovska, who now manages the art arsenal, and that's what they said back then there was just such a great team that evgeny nyschuk is the face of the ministry of culture, which is trusted. there was a mass audience there, it was after the maidan, mr. borodyanskyi was also the minister of culture, it was also, well, on the one hand, he is a good manager, he is a tv manager, there is no need here, well, you have to understand that it really was like that, and he left alone with of this ministry, but all these products that he made on television were thrown at him, all these battles of psychics and so on and so on, we remember it all, here is oleksandr tkachenko, probably the most raked of all ministers, then... because the criticism was so strong against him, by the way, he is also a former tv manager, he managed 1+1, and here too there were mockers for that, because we saw

a lot of this, frankly, my evaluation is exactly the same a pro-russian product of the type of in-laws of any kind, he defended them very strongly in his time, and that is why the attitude towards the ministry of culture and the community in general. professional and in general among people who are actually related to culture, this was always enough, maybe even a little disparagingly, they say, why is this ministry needed at all, i will say that it is definitely needed, because some people are starting to say that look, there is no ministry of culture in britain or in france or in the netherlands, although in fact there is, and it must be said that there are many other departments responsible for cultural policy, apart from cinema. separately for visual art, because all the same there state institutions, museums and everything else need to be managed, someone, some department

should develop state policy, because this state policy in the field of culture should always be there, and our problem is precisely that it is either weak or not there at all, and well, let's see how the new minister will cope with this, i would like to wish him all the best... success , to be honest, because i'm frankly tired of sitting and ranting about the fact that we have a bad minister, we have a bad head, state cinema, or something else, or something else, in the end, i want to praise at least some politician and official for something, especially , well, this is now our common cause, i would like it to be the other way around we praised everyone, not quarreled, but so far, so far, it seems that some preliminary forecasts are not bad at all. at least, our cultural community hopes that mr. mykola tochytskyi will continue to work very professionally in the field of

cultural diplomacy. actually works in many countries, it will help him in this, we will be happy to watch all this and let's hope that finally the ministry of culture will become i like vasyl, the romantic mood is optimistic today, but i gave away an advance. well, at least we want to see his vision of the development of our department, it will be very interesting to get acquainted, thank you very much, well, we wish. and we will continue

the cultural topic a little, thank you very much lina, and really here i want to wish success, you know, not so much to the ministers, as to wish success to the directions that they are currently leading, because ukraine needs efficiency, and not in a year, but as soon as possible , and people who read a lot are effective, started for the second time in the capital book forum kyivbookfest. this year, the festival was divided into two formats: a large book sale exhibition and an industry forum. until september 8, guests of the event can expect a book fair with more than a hundred participants, more than 200 events, including literary meetings, poetry readings, and an autograph session. the festival has a charitable component, the organizers plan to collect 1.5 million hryvnias for the renewal of library funds, five military educational institutions, in particular, they want to purchase almost 7,000 books. we have

a very rich program, a keybookfest takes place for the second time this year, it is more eventful, we added one industry day, that is, on the one hand, it is an event for the book industry for publishers, editors, translators, marketers, librarians, for absolutely everyone who is involved in the book field, or who is studying, this is a very cool opportunity to receive. experience, this, today this day is dedicated to this. the festival is charitable, kyiv bookfest collects money to replenish the libraries of higher educational military institutions, that is, all the money that will be collected in us during kyiv bookfest will be accumulated for the purchase of books and evenly distributed among five educational, higher military institutions, so come, donate, join, let there be even

more ukrainian in the libraries of higher educational institutions. well, really, visit, and i just want to say the very end, oleksandr morchivka and i discussed the visit, the planned visit of the imf mission to the capital of the aggressor country, in the city on the moscow marshes, and there is a statement from the ukrainian government asking not to start this risky business and not resume cooperation, at least. with the aggressor country, but again, this is some kind of story that we don't understand yet. the world of money is a specific world, big money is even more specific, and what is related is difficult to say here, but in any case the fact remains: russia is an aggressor, russia is a terrorist country, russia is a country which wants to destroy us ukrainians and our state, to destroy our right to exist, therefore, surely

everything must be done so that it... fails to strengthen us as much as possible, because we are fighting, but we need resources, well, next is the work of our diplomacy and common sense, and the instinct of self-preservation of our partners, thank you for being with us, it was a big ether, i will be with you until tomorrow until 18:10, then the verdict with serhiy rudenko, wait and be with us, good evening, we are with ukraine. exclusively on the air of our channel. congratulations, friends, the politclub program is on the air on the espresso tv channel. the most relevant topics of the week: nato member countries have huge arsenals, and russia is already on the verge of exhausting its resource. topics that resonate in our society. it the question of trump's victory, what is it? analysis of the processes that change the country and each of us. what else can the russians do?
