in abkhazia and south ossetia for the fact that georgia, then led by president saakashvili, started this war, he wants to ask them for this election, and it is interesting, very interesting , the reaction from the ministry of foreign affairs, the so-called foreign ministry of abkhazia, where they even talked about signing a peace treaty with georgia, which leads to peaceful coexistence and good neighborly relations. in a word, something in this country, i mean. in georgia, something, something is wrong with this government, something is wrong with this leadership, just imagine that, god forbid, god forbid, something would happen to someone in our leaders, in our leadership the top thought to apologize to the so -called dpr and lpr for starting the war, something similar is happening in georgia now, so you understand, and to sign some kind of peace treaty with them, well, in a word, god give the georgians wisdom so that they ...

weapons in strikes on the territory of the russian federation, on friday, joseph biden met with the prime minister of great britain, keir starmer, and they discussed this issue, we were waiting for a decision that although b great britain will give a signal to ukraine that it is possible to use stormshadow long-range missiles, which will fly over the territory of the russian federation, at military facilities and at facilities that infect the ukrainian state, but such a decision has not yet been officially announced, although the british edition of the guardian writes that there is already such a solution, only it is not announced publicly, because putin and his schoolmates of slaughter in ukraine say that in reality, we will have problems. in

using these e-missiles, and therein lies the big problem really. in the second part of our program, which will begin at 9:15 p.m., we will have three guests, deputies of the people's deputies, deputies of the verkhovna rada, these are oleksandr merezhko, rostyslav pavlenko and oksana savchuk. let's talk about the law on taxes, increases, adopted today by the verkhovna rada in the first reading. datki is expected from october 1, 2024, literally in two weeks, although the law has not yet been adopted, but it is assumed that the law, which will enter into force at the end of october, will provide for an increase in taxes precisely from october 1. we are talking about increasing the military collection, which is absolutely logical in the current conditions, tax increase for fopi, tax increase for ez, increase.

taxes for financial institutions and for banks, in short, let's talk about what this means for ukrainians, first of all, because all of us... will pay taxes, we will pay more taxes, either directly as participants who pay taxes, or as consumers of certain services, which of course will increase in price, as entrepreneurs will transfer tax increases to our pockets, and of course, we will talk about the elections in of the united states of america, the election campaign, how will it affect the situation in ukraine, in short, we start in 25 minutes, vasyl zima's big broadcast continues, vasyl, you have the floor, thank you serhiy, we are waiting for the verdict program at 8 p.m., well, we waited already on oleksandr morshchevk, today he also announced an increase in taxes, and there are many other changes that were proposed by the deputies and have already been voted on, well

, oleksandr will tell you more about it, good evening, please, good evening vasyl, i welcome the audience in details about the most important thing from the world of money today is to learn about the steps of the customs and tax reform, about the indexation... of pensions, when it will happen, everything in detail in a moment. i am oleksandr morchivaka. greetings, this is a column about money during the war. i start traditionally with international aid. germany will provide ukraine with an additional 100 million. this money will be used to support the energy system during the winter, german foreign minister anna lena berbock said. russia is again planning to destroy the energy industry in order to make the lives of people in ukraine as terrible as possible, burbok noted. currently, the ukrainian energy system continues to recover after nine massive attacks by muscovites, and the power deficit remains.

indexation of pensions is planned next year, but the increase will be insignificant, minister of social policy oksana zholnovich reported. officials, every social. the ministry's program undergoes strict regulation and audits by international auditors, whose purpose is to ensure transparency in the use of money. these checks are necessary for justified economic effect and to confirm the need for financial assistance from international donors. well, this is the justification. zholnovich explained that payments now do not depend on state budget expenditures, but are made from fund, which receives funds from a single social contribution and international partners. well, the parliament today adopted the long-awaited draft law that will reboot the ukrainian customs. the document

provides for a transparent competition for the position of the head of the state customs service and his political independence. integrity checks will also take place as part of the initiative. in particular, they are possible. to interview customs officials with the help of a polygraph, also the salaries of customs officials should be increased, this is an important structural beacon from the international monetary fund, it should unlock 6 billion dollars of aid for ukraine. for a really long time, they talked about the fact that customs should work in a new way, it should work transparently and be efficient in terms of revenues to the state budget, a leu share. are going to receive precisely from the activities of the customs, but also a significant share of revenues to the treasury are going to be received from the increase taxes 241 votes for. on the second attempt, in the first reading, the parliament supported the draft law on increasing taxes. after

the final version, the treasury should receive an additional 58 billion uah this year and 137 billion next year. presupposes raising the military levy from 15% to 5, increasing taxes for the first and second groups of fops, and the penalties will increase for the financial sector, in particular 25% setting the income tax rate for banks for this year in the amount of 50%, setting the income tax rate for non-banks institutions at the level 20% we will talk about this further with a guest who will join the conversation, and we will listen to what... people's deputy oleksiy honcharenko said in the parliament, this will mean a decrease in the incomes of ukrainians, once, secondly, it will mean when we talk about fops , an increase in prices, two, this will mean possible closure, well, it is not even possible, for sure

the closure of at least a part will be undertaken, and already this year 100 thousand small enterprises have closed, a colossal figure in fact, and this must be understood that every small enterprise. stop, it is not only the entrepreneur himself, but also his family. we see that oleksiy goncharenko is criticizing, in particular, the point of introducing a five percent military levy for the fop. well, i don't know, not only mr. oleksiy really criticized, but many experts said that such a rate could, in fact, destroy a number of active individual entrepreneurs. but regarding the scandalous point about the taxation of ukrainian banks, we will talk with the president of the ukrainian banks association, andriy dubas joins the conversation, good evening, good evening, oleksandr, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, mr. andriy. and in essence, the international monetary fund, if i recall, did not demand a re-

increase of the tax for banks, it was, so to speak, a one-time action that had already been implemented, if i am not mistaken, the tax was established last year, why now again the people deputies tried to prove to the fund, which recently worked in kyiv, that it is necessary to raise the fiscal burden. thank you for the question, let's start from the beginning, and really about the increased tax for banking institutions in ukraine, this discussion started last year, and indeed, last year, when we were in the epic voting by the united states of support for ukraine in the amount of 61 billion dollars in the european parliament , the support of 50 billion dollars was also delayed by one country. we remember this time, and then the people's deputies took the initiative to quickly ask for

help, let's call it that, about an additional tax to banking institutions, which showed a certain level according to the results of the 23rd year profits, and of course raising, but imagine this way, you live, your company, a bank or a non-banking institution, lives in the conditions that this year you will pay tax on... profit 18% atb in november of the 23rd year is set to it is known that this tax will be 50%, not 18, like everyone else's, but 50%, well, to put it mildly, it was perceived not very positively, but when they were on the table, so to speak, all the cards were laid out, what is the situation , that the situation was in such a critical state, that people's deputies and state representatives there certain authorities announced that... this is a one-time story, which is accepted in such, shall we say, extraordinary conditions, well

, of course, banking institutions understand where they work, in which country, under which conditions the war continues, they accepted it, wants , wants to be perceived negatively at first, but then they treated this tax with understanding. then , from the 24th and following years , a higher tax was set for banks, not the same as for everyone, not 18%, but 25%. and what we see today. today, people's deputies decided to return to this story a second time, and i want to here to try to explain why in this case last time, for example, the national bank, there the ministry of finance supported a 50% tax for banks, and this time they oppose it, and even the international monetary fund came against it. a very simple story: firstly, an increased tax of up to 50% for banks can additionally affect the budget. to bring 28-29 billion uah, while the hole in the budget, which

the ministry of finance is trying to close today, is 500 billion uah, 500 and 28, but what negative result do we get? after the victory, ukraine will be a great place of interest for foreign, financial institutions, foreign investments for the development of ukraine, reconstruction and much, much more. other positive things, and which we are giving a signal today that the ukrainian state as a partner can change the rules at any time, even retroactively for your business, and when, for example, financial institutions that will consider, for example, buying in ukraine shares in the state bank, we know that a law has now been passed that will stimulate the sale state stake in the banking sector, which of the foreign partners may be interested in buying in ukraine. a share or a whole state-owned one, for example a bank, if today it is an unforeseeable situation, and when you

are told that it was a one-time story in extraordinary conditions, and it is repeated a second time, and may be repeated a third time, and a fourth time, that is, we show a certain immaturity of the state apparatus, that is, we are that segment of business, that is, that segment of the economy, like banks, but it is also very transparent, and it is very easy to see the balance sheet of the bank, for example, because banks are working. in white and are obliged, according to the regulation of the national bank, to show all their reporting in full, and for example, regarding showing the reporting exactly, i can't remember now. of this figure, but quite a lot of criticism was also heard that, you see, despite everything, banks show a good income, so why not take additional taxes from this income, for example, apparently, this is exactly what the deputies were talking about in the session hall, introducing this initiative , absolutely, absolutely, and you know, we communicate with the deputies and inform them

in the language of numbers, i will now try to explain in the simplest possible language, we have sorted out becoming. financial statements, the profit that all banking institutions show today, we are not talking about one specific bank, we are talking about all 62 banks that work in ukraine, and i want to say that the income from deposit certificates, which are available only to banks that provides this this tool, because it is most criticized this tool, which provides an opportunity for banks to earn national bank, in the income structure it is only a quarter, only 25%, all others 75% are loans to legal entities, loans to individuals, commissions and work with bonds of the domestic state loan, which is available not only to banks, but also to ordinary citizens, any business, and so on. so, you know, this is a little substitution of facts, which, well, i don't know who, whether people's deputies, or maybe someone else, want to show

a slightly distorted picture. i think that this is a very bad signal, we give first of all to international partners that ours is not so ... predictability and this is a bad signal, and i i believe that before the second reading we should work out these tax changes very carefully, the tax war should be raised, it is possible, and it is unpleasant, but this is a normal reality in the conditions of war, only it should be with a warning, if we were to adopt a law today, which will act from the 25th year, these are the rules of a normal game, but not retroactively, but not twice, three times, you understand, yes, yes, thank you for the clarification, the dialogue continues, the discussions, i think... will be even hotter around taxes on the activities of financial institutions. andrii dubas, president of the ukrainian association banks, joined the column about money during the war. i am following the tax changes, it will still be hot, the discussions are ongoing, i will finish my column for today, but there is a big broadcast going on, there will be more to come. see us. thank you. oleksandr, i

will answer briefly here, because they write in the chat, well, so that you understand that we are reacting, we call, under the ether, an inscription that there is an explosion in lviv, and they say that we are lying here, no, espresso does not lie , there was an explosion in lviv, a fire extinguisher exploded in the college, four were injured, the children were in the hospital, they lost consciousness there, that is, there was such a fact, no one says that it was a bomb or a rocket, but there was an explosion, so before you write, or name the channel there, that they are lying, do something else like that... you can just search for information, check, it is not difficult to click there with your finger, if you are not blocked in google, then in principle you can find all the information on the express website, by the way, too. well, now cultural news. a genius, a propagandist, a victim of stalin, and now also a prophet, the film community continues to celebrate the 130th anniversary of the birth of one of the greatest movie directors in the history of cinema oleksandr

dovzhenko, oleksandr petrovych dovzhenko, now in the cinema house, film expert serhiy trimbach told. gave about the next interpretations of dovzhenko, and yulino chenna will tell more. congratulations, please, you have a word. congratulations, congratulations to vasyl, congratulations to our viewers, here it turns out that another 160 years since the birthday of mykhailo kotsiubynskyi have also been celebrated a little in parallel, i will tell you how in just a second. and therefore, serhii trimpych recently received a golden award for his contribution to cinema, a ceremony took place last week and serhiy trimpach is one of the few well-known

film experts of ours, and he himself says that we actually have very few film experts, we need to have more of them, because there... for example, he works there on the creative heritage of our writers a more or less sufficient number of people work on the legacy of the same dovzhenko much less than necessary, but he also says that now we are celebrating the 130th anniversary of the birth of dovzhenko, but mr. serhiy says that he would prefer to celebrate it with others methods, and not there by installing memory. or something else, but with some lectures, conversations , and most importantly, rewatching the tapes, restoring the tapes, because, he says, he also said this before about the fact that... from school, people mostly and mainly know the enchanted gum, and this not enough, not enough people study the same land, i want to remind you that

the restored land was often shown accompanied by music, brakha's roof, and i was several times at this concert at this screening, and it was not just sold out, there were people about... . just piled on top of each other were, because it is really relevant, what serhii trimbach says about dovzhenko in general, he usually talks about him for a long time, a lot, and here at the lecture, as you saw, the video, unfortunately, not so many people came to listen to all this, usually , i saw here the regulars of the cinema house, people who usually come here to listen to something, and very often talk and now rethink their identity. oleksandr dovzhenko is said to be a propagandist and mentions that he was friends with stalin, how they walked at night in night moscow, as dovzhenko to him

told a lot of things, because dovzhenko was more talkative, and stalin was silent, and it was said that they were walking, walking, and stalin was constantly listening to what dovzhenko was telling him, and it was believed that dovzhenko could tell him what... another would not dare, another was shot, but dovzhenko was listened to, but there are people who say that dovzhenko was an absolute propagandist, we remember that he was in the army of the ukrainian people's republic, and then he made tapes that showed the army negatively, and we can recall a whole scene there as he showed the directory, as he showed the loop, in absolutely such a comical tone, as is usually the case with ukrainians and the loop. in particular, and then mezepa, that is, before that, the image of mezepa, then the image of bandera, but he was somewhere the same, and in particular, he was created by oleksandr dovzhenko from my point of view, but from another point

of view serhii trimbych says that oleksandr dovzhenko was one of those artists, certainly talented, even genius, who created the myth of ukraine, and the myth is not in the sense of a lie, in the sense of such a cultural phenomenon that exists in every country. with developed culture, in italy it was created by local directors in the states, the myth of america was created by hollywood, and of course we had fewer such opportunities, but oleksandr dovzhenko was one of those people who created this myth, and well , i wish we really had more they talked about him, honestly, they talked about what he was like, what was special about him... why are they called geniuses, which films of the world, directors of the world imitated the manner of oleksandr dovzhenko, and also, if

we talk about the portrait of this director, then once serhii trimbych also told that there was no need to make dovzhenko such a glamorous image, because he was not like that, he was a rather rude person, because such a soft, mushy person would not have taken off. such tapes, well, vasyl, i have everything, look, don't miss some screenings of restored films by oleksandr dovzhenko, i hope, and they will be shown in different cities, and in the center of dovzhenko, for example, too. yes, i will only say briefly and call all connoisseurs of creativity, dovzhenka, to know more about him, read at least him more. they are published, a big book, and remember his words when he was living in moscow, he wrote: "when i die, in heavy loneliness , take my heart and bury it in sweet ukraine, in ukrainian land. i hope that

one day we will rebury dovzhenko in sweet ukraine , until i remind you, he is buried in moscow. unfortunately, let us do this and defeat this enemy in the country, contribute to the needs of the armed forces of ukraine and do what we can now do in support of the armed forces, because the vesna charitable fund continues to collect funds 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 deter enemy attacks, defend our freedom, future and our lives with you. it was these soldiers who stood to the last and defended the avdiiv direction in that difficult, terrible spring of the 24th, when there was a significant lack of ammunition. in... you can see all the details on the screen, thank you for being with us, about natalka didenko will tell us in a moment what the weather will be like in ukraine tomorrow , i'll say goodbye to you until tomorrow at 18:10, and at

20:00 the verdict program, be with... and take care of yourself. synoptic hello to all, our dear viewers. you and i will, of course , talk about the synoptic situation that is expected in the coming days, about magnetic storms, whether they will happen or not, and we will start our meeting by looking into the meteorology dictionary, we will remember or study it together from time to time. terms and their meanings, since our attention is now fixed to a large part of the countries of europe, where there is simply a catastrophic flood at times, so we will remember what a flood actually is. so, flood, flooding, flood is a natural disaster, a natural phenomenon that occurs when water goes beyond the limits of its usual shores and floods large areas of land, well, the terms flood and flooding are, of course,

synonymous. in hydrology, floods are regular overflows of water bodies that usually occur every year and often do not cause a natural disaster. irregular spills are called floods, and are usually the cause of flooding a significant increase in the water level, this happens on rivers due to an increase in water flow due to melting snow, heavy very heavy rains, and on lakes due to an excess of water inflow over outflow, often. the cause of the flood can be, well , at least additional wind, which so to speak catches up with the water, and also one of the reasons for the rise of water can be the obstruction of the flow due to technical malfunctions, the breakthrough of water to the plain, the level of which is below the water level, well, such floods usually happen as a result of the breakthrough of the dumps or the change of the river channel, the breakthrough of the dam just happened in

the countries of central europe. due to strong catastrophic, i would say, floods, i emphasize once again, ukraine will avoid such a natural disaster, fortunately, dry weather will prevail in our country, and where there will be rains, we will of course talk with you, we will continue, we will go to the survey of geomagnetic activity, and now for your attention is a forecast chart, from which it can be seen that fluctuations will be observed, but they will not be too active, too powerful, so we just observe as usual and move on... actually to the weather forecast, so in the western regions of ukraine in the coming days on september 18 , the weather is expected to be, well, i would say moderately warm, somewhere from 19 to 22 to 23, rain in places, on no precipitation is expected in the north of ukraine, 24-27°, it will be very warm in the north of ukraine, it will be cold and warmer, by the way, the weather will also be warm in the east

20. 25-27° dry, clear. in the central part of ukraine, significant precipitation is unlikely, except that there is a small probability in the western regions of rain, 22-26 above zero. in the south of ukraine tomorrow, short-term rains will pass, maybe even thunderstorms, and the air temperature will not be too high, 22-25°, is expected in the southern part of ukraine. and in kyiv tomorrow, september 18. the weather is expected to be dry, clear and warm. the maximum air temperature is about +25, +26°. but of course, according to the forecast, the weather should always be carefully monitored, because it can change, the atmosphere is a complex organism, so the forecasts are detailed, as always with us on the espresso channel. good evening, we are of ukraine.
