national security and defense. the parliamentarian wrote a statement addressed to speaker ruslan stepanchuk with a request to be transferred to the committee on foreign policy and interparliamentary cooperation. previously, the opposition demanded the release of bezugula, but this proposal could not gather votes parliament and the verkhovna rada supported in the first reading the draft law on raising taxes upon its adoption. 241 people's deputies voted, in particular, it is planned to increase the military levy and increase taxes on the first and second groups of fop. in the current year, such tax changes will bring 58 billion uah to the state budget and 137 billion in 2025 . the second reading of the bill is expected in mid-october. this is the first such systematic increase since the 19th year. for all with the sole

purpose of the army, this is to raise taxes temporary, it will be canceled with the end of military time, it concerns the military levy, we add + 3.5% to the military levy of all citizens of ukraine, absolutely all people who live in our state and must pay and pay for the war that is going on and pay salaries count ukrainians ella libanova, director of the institute of demography and quality of life problems, said that information about bank transactions could improve the reliability of data on the population in ukraine. currently statistics are being formed using information from various registries and the three main mobile operators. ela libanova claims that there is not enough such information and similar departments from

the three largest banks would make up for the shortfall. let me remind you that according to the ministry of social policy, the population of ukraine is currently 35 million people. unique information, we do not need for each person, i mean banks, transactions. if we could combine transactional information and information of mobile operators into one database, we would. we use the data of three main mobile phones operators that practically cover this entire field, i mean vodafone, kyivstar, and in the same way we do not need small banks, let them give each of the largest banks, savings, private, monobank and schedule, it will be enough, the strategy of demographic development of ukraine until 2040 will be approved at the end of september, the agency said.

daria marchak, minister of social policy, assures that ukrainian experts, scientists, authorities, public organizations and international partners, in general, were involved in the development of the document. the strategy consists of of two blocks: the first aimed at overcoming negative demographic trends, the second at creating conditions under which ukrainians would want to return home. as scientist ella libanova added, the elements of such a strategy can attract not only our citizens to ukraine, but also migrants from europe. the strategy is aimed , among other things, at overcoming the negative trend regarding migrants, migrations and the return of ukrainians from abroad, it provides both a systematic change in policies and, for example, certain quick steps to work with ukrainian immigrants, in particular with organizations and associations of ukrainians abroad. if this is

so, then not only people will come to ukraine, who are traditionally expected, well, as always, go from less developed countries to more developed ones, we count on something else, we... count on the fact that thanks to the exceptional conditions for self-realization, people will also come here from european countries. the cabinet of ministers approved a resolution on an experimental project to create so -called protected spaces in educational institutions. they can be in basements and basements, and also on the first floors, where you can temporarily stay during an air raid. such spaces are planned to be created in educational institutions where there are none. shelter, in my opinion, this is a marismic situation, because if you take a standard corridor that is in any school, which was in the school i studied at, it is at least a row, or even two rows of windows, and we we all understand that when there is an explosive wave,

then fragments, they will pierce the children through, i understand that they are trying to find some optimal exits in the optimal situation, but i'm sorry, the first floor is absolutely not a bomb shelter. defender ivan smetaniuk returned home after more than two years in polonia. he is a fighter of the 36th marine corps brigade. one of those who defended mariupol at the beginning of the full-scale invasion. his wife told us the story of the soldier. let's see. ivan smetaniuk from prykarpattia spent 29 months in russian captivity. as a military serviceman, he was in donetsk even before the start of the full-scale invasion. in february 200. 22, he was supposed to finish contract, however, he took up the defense of mariupol and defended the city until mid-april 2022 . our boys did not surrender, but they were surrounded and captured, no one voluntarily surrendered there and no one even thought about it, and they were

only positive. he called me and told me that they tried to break through the territory of ukraine, and... but the break through was unsuccessful and they were surrounded and captured, well, most likely he told me that it would be a capture. by for more than two years in captivity, anna received only one letter from her husband, on may 12 , 2023. the woman wrote to him regularly, but only 13 letters reached ivan. his wife learned information about his condition, except from his brothers who had already been released. anna says... she did everything she could, went to rallies, appealed to the coordination headquarters, the international committee of the red cross and the european court. ivan smetanyuk was on the lists for exchange for a long time, but he was released only on september 13, 2024. i received a message from the coordination office

headquarters: "congratulations, smatanyuk ivan romanovych was released from captivity." and somewhere after 20 minutes, he called me. he told me that he is already at home in ukraine. i am very glad that my husband returned home, i was very worried about him and missed him very much. currently, ivan smetaniuk, like other ukrainians released from russian ... ukrainians, is undergoing the necessary examinations, in the future he will face a period of quarantine and treatment, already after returning home to prykarpattia. in general, it was possible to release during the full-scale war 300. own backup power on the roof. in

july of last year , 32 solar panels were installed on one of the buildings of the ivano-frankivsk lyceum number 15. for... a power of 10 kw, almost half a million hryvnias were allocated for this equipment within the framework of the city program, the budget of the participation, during planned and emergency shutdowns of electricity in training. the institution always has light, this year solar panels were installed on the second building of the school, where primary school students study, and thus our power plant has two solar substations, the fact is that the the case has proven itself very well, and we saw that not only is there a light when it is unlocked, and the internet is available during this, but we also saved more than uah 61,000. in that school compared to other years, this is under the conditions, which means that there were more children

studying in the second shift. the installation of the second substation on the roof of the lyceum was financed by the ivano-frankivsk city council. its capacity additionally added about 18 kw to the system. from now on, primary school students will have electricity, internet and access to computers under time of blackouts. the lyceum is implementing a whole program of energy efficiency and. lamps are additionally replaced, in this case it is more about comfort, the possibility of children, learning, being at school during power outages, during blackouts, during an alarm, that is, in more or less comfortable conditions. the partial autonomy of the educational institution last year met all expectations - says ivano-frankivsk mayor ruslan martsinkiv. he proposes to allocate funds for the installation of backup power in five more schools institutions the community will pay half of the cost of installing solar panels. now

we are announcing a new competition, considering that for this pilot project, we are ready to give uah 500,000 to five schools, on the condition that another 500,000 will be allocated by parents, deputies, sponsors for that school, so this is a very good project for energy saving, and therefore we thank the school community, the leadership of vasiliy yevgenovich, and everyone who contributed to the implementation of this project. we see that... the shutdown is there, and it's very important that ours educational institutions worked as usual, so that children could study, so that children could have normal nutrition and that here in the ukrainian rear, thanks to our defenders , a normal educational process was going on. for this , we must take all measures to keep schools working. after the installation of electrical substations, the contractor company will take care of the maintenance and annual inspection of the equipment. the system works remotely, school employees can... manage it using a special mobile application. kateryna oliynyk, espresso tv channel.

gentlemen, congratulations to everyone who joins our telethon, i remind you that today we are also conducting a fundraiser together with the vesna charity fund, and this is 110, 47, the third separate assault brigade, we are collecting for them on drones for the fundraiser, yesterday was not bad we added a few tens of thousands to our collection, today we will continue, and finally we will send those drones, you yourself heard that there is a shortage of drones now and... on the front, unfortunately, there are certain restrictions that have been introduced by china, in fact, by the russians , in fact, they don't feel alike

there are no restrictions, so somewhere the state is not coping, there is a state procurement, the arms agency said that someone there has failed some suppliers, we do not know how it all happens there, we know one thing, if we transfer funds to this account, they will definitely are converted to drones, drones are converted to protection and rebs are converted. to protect our soldiers, and drones are one hundred percent death for our enemy, so this is the easiest way to help the army today, we already have roman vlasenko, the head of the severodonetsk district military to the administration, mr. roman, we welcome you, good morning, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, please tell us what the situation is now, what news is there from north donetsk, and if it is in a state of war, then the situation is really difficult, our guys have more or less stabilized the situation in the lymansky direction, but the area

of ​​nevsky, makeivka and in the area of ​​belogorovka, the occupation army is pressing. uh, and the situation there is a bit more complicated, if we take the civilian population there directly, then uh, luhansk region as a whole suffers from fires, i think that it is not there it's straight news, but nevertheless, more than 200 hectares of forest are burning in anthracite in the staro stanychno-luhansk region, and you can feel it in principle. the whole of luhansk region is occupied, there are many subscribers without electricity, we are talking about tens of thousands, hundreds of destroyed homes, they were forced to create centers there for the temporary stay of people, a lot of equipment and personnel are brought in from the russian federation, the wind in some cases

tens of meters per second to 30, and the situation. there is a crisis in this issue, if we return to the severodonetsk district, then here the situation is particularly unchanged, the school year has begun, according to their data, the number of children in schools is about 1,500, if we take the pre-war situation and figures, here we were talking about 10,000, i think that this alone can give you a picture of the opposite. how many people actually remain in severodonetsk, in severodonetsk, now i saw that people sometimes live in simply terrible conditions, that is , the house, for example, is actually destroyed, people live simply with film on the windows, without heating, without water, so the third winter is approaching it's the third winter and it's like this

conditions, that is, heating is generally available in the city, it will be. well, according to the results of the previous year , they had some success there, but the heating did not work fully, all the boiler rooms, which are necessary for heating, were not put into operation, so we are waiting for reports on the preparation for winter, which shows that there are basically none, and most likely, there will be problems with the heating systems this winter, so i'm saying that they will show. repairs, they do not apply to a very large percentage of buildings and networks that we see in videos, but in fact the city ponivychyna remains, its infrastructure is not being restored at the pace they are demonstrating. now we can already show, by the way, a photo as fresh as i

understand, more or less from luhansk, from luhansk, sorry, from severodonetsk. there, well, in principle, we see that there is something, there are some billboards there, that is, there is some business activity, the ussr is dining with the name, it is advertised, it is staged and so on, but with all this , the houses are generally just standing in ruins, just like a photo photo from the outskirts of severodonetsk, where the russian army was attacking from the side novaidar and from the starobsk side, and this is what is being said, that the houses that were conditionally damaged there... more than 20-30% of them remain like that, damaged and not restored, only those houses are restored where it is possible to quickly make some repairs and show picture, in fact half of the city remains empty, destroyed, burned and littered with garbage.

mr. roman, returning to the topic of the fire, it has been going on for more than a week, even, well, i just don't understand why they can't stop it. to eliminate somehow, i already read yesterday what is there many firefighters are being sent from russia to fight this fire, but anyway , the fire has even reached the outskirts of luhansk, houses are already burning there, well , according to information, smog and smoke covered luhansk itself, according to the information of the occupation authorities, more than 500 fires. about 100 pieces of equipment were brought in from the russian federation, they even caught some aliyah there who was doing it, they are looking for it. the ukrainian track and so on, but the weather, the wind, the sunny weather, do not give them the opportunity to organize all this at the proper level, well, i think

that the qualifications are not enough, about 10 years of degradation and mobilization and so on, they influence what is happening now, well, thank you very much for this conversation, roman vlasenko was with us, the head of the severodonetsk district. administration from severo-donetsk, we started today's morning meeting, we found out how things are going there in luhansk region, which, unfortunately, is almost completely under occupation now, we will now go on a short break, we will have the deputy of the zaporizhzhya city council, dmytro kyrylchuk, let's talk about the operational situation in zaporizhzhia, stay, veresnev has discounts on gliciset. 20% in pharmacies plantain to save you. bologna miner only on mego. the champions league begins with a match against the sensational italians. and the miners want

and in a word, i also learned from bolynyuk first that this happened, this incident, they reacted very sharply to the detention of the ukrainian champion in the office of president zelenskyi, namely zelenskyi himself, zelenskyi was outraged, and in a word, he also demanded a sharp reaction from the ministry of foreign affairs, and already even minister andriy sebiga received the mandate, who... that's how urgent the consul's statement is george tykhoi from kraków to the airport to find out the circumstances, the ukrainian side categorically does not accept the attitude shown in the video towards its citizen and champion, that's what the spokesman for the cities of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine said, but we don't really know what happened, what about it , what was the problem, why did the principals get usyak himself, they detained usyak himself, nevertheless, it seems that the incident

is over for now, we hope, at least. all this happened, let me remind you, against the background of such a deterioration of relations between poland and ukraine, which just happened to be the last at times, the previous minister kuleba managed to carelessly put forward something like an allusion to some territorial claims of ukraine to poland, that they said you cut off a bunch of land from us during the vistula operation together with stalin, which in principle hardly contributed, you know, to normalization and i'm going. and friendship in relations, well, and all this also happened against the background of rumors that the meeting of the new minister of foreign affairs of poland, radoslaw sikorski, and zelenskiy in kyiv almost turned into a quarrel, at least that is what oneet pl, a polish news quarter portal, writes about it, and and that's how it seems, based on references to sources in the polish delegation, they say that it's surprising. history

with poland, we will talk about it later, but now we are joined by lesya vokulyuk and b. dmytro kyrylchuk, deputy of the zaporizhzhya city council, so we welcome them to our company. good morning, friends, mr. dmitry, good morning to you, there was an attack on the zaporizhzhia region the day before, or not? then the night passed, how did it pass, tell us, and what is the morning like, and what are the consequences of that attack? well, we understood, here, unfortunately, for zaporizhzhia, zaporizhzhia district, zaporizhzhia region is not having a good morning, because the rashists launched insidious shelling yesterday, inflicted these terrible blows, and we are talking about modified cabs according to preliminary

information, this is what happened yesterday evening closer to night, and right there at 10:00 in the evening, when 10 airstrikes were carried out around there, it was precisely carried out by kabam, as it turned out later, it was exactly that, that the rashists launched these guided air bombs from the area near molochanskyi, i.e. behind tokmak and there is about 90-500 km distance to zaporizhzhia, this is against the background of the fact that, yes, why is this information important, yes, that when the mirashists there start to declare their 70-90 km there, of course, these terrible are their means of defeat, they become.
