we pay enough attention to the one who is our main trading partner. let's not forget that we and our comrade china, china, really see ourselves as a country whose turnover is less than half a percent of the total annual turnover of china's foreign trade, what can we talk about? thank you very much for the conversation, thank you for clarifying, ihor lytvyn, ukrainian singer. of the chinese business council was with us on the air, and now we will find out what will be discussed on the 20th in the verdict program, which starts precisely at 8:00 p.m. serhii rudenko is already with us, i am the author and presenter, serhii, good evening, please, good evening, vasyl, we will have a one-hour program today, starting at 20:00, two guests, the former head of the security service of ukraine, valentyn nalyvaichenko and ex - minister of foreign affairs of ukraine volodymyr ogryzko, of course we will sum up the results of the american one. volodymyr zelenskyi's tour,

since this trip of the ukrainian president to america is causing more and more resonance in the international media, and this is due to the fact that trump ran over, as they say, volodymyr zelenskyi, and said that the ukrainian leader allegedly played along with his competition , kamali garis, and because he went to a factory, a military plant. a whole scandal is already unfolding in the house of representatives of the united states of america, because the speaker of the house johnson says that ukraine should recall the ukrainian ambassador to the united states of america, markarovo. and here the question is, how to evaluate the visit and the results of this visit of zelensky to the united states of america, will we not lose the bipartisan support of the united states? america, let us not forget that

the americans were and remain our main allies in the war against putin, the united states of america allocates enough weapons, according to their mind and their vision , in order for ukraine to wage war with the russian federation, to prevent the russians from entering further into the territory of the ukrainian state, therefore , it is very important to understand what this actually means. trump, if he wins the presidential elections, his policy will be just as harsh and harsh towards ukraine and volodymyr zelensky, in particular, or after all it should be expected that this pre-election fever that america is currently in will end after the elections on november 5th. actually, we will talk about this with valentina nalyvaichenko and volodymyr ogrysk, by the way, valentina levadchenko once worked in the united states. america, he

was a consul in the embassy of the united states of america and knows exactly how american politics works, and even more so, during election races. well, one more topic is quite active and important today, this is yesterday's meeting of the security council of the russian federation, during which vladimir putin announced that changes would be made to the nuclear doctrine of the russian federation. it is about what the russians will now perceive. by the hostile actions of those who will help ukraine, in particular by striking on the territory of the russian federation, they did write down in their doctrine, a new doctrine that they said, if a non-nuclear state begins to conduct actions against a nuclear state, it means the russian federation, and a non-nuclear state some other nuclear power is connected, then russia has the right to a nuclear response.

the state, and not only in terms of a nuclear state, what do these nuclear threats mean, putin's next nuclear threats, is this part of a big plan to support trump in the presidential race, and actually, what should ukraine do in this situation, because putin yesterday said that if our territory is shelled, drones fly in, missiles fly over our territory, then we will be responsible, will this change our military plans? plans, and how our military plans will change, in short, we will have such a big conversation about this, let's take everything apart and talk about what, what, what it all means and how to perceive it in ukraine, and most importantly, how should we meet the year 2025, given that in the united states the united states of america will have a new leader, that is, a new president will be elected, and he will be... in force, his powers will take

effect in january 25, it will be either kamala harris or donald trump, and in this situation, ukrainians have no choice, well, take it. and during the election campaign, and must be conducted policy of dialogue with two parties , republican and democratic, and this is a big task for our foreign policy department, and president zelenskyi, this is the program we will have today, we will start at 8 p.m., and i will remind you once again, we will only have an hour long program don't miss it, in 25 minutes we will be on the air, vasyl's big winter broadcast continues, stay with espresso, vasyl. you have a word. thank you sergey. at 20:00 the verdicta program with serhii rudenko. well, just now oleksandr morchivka will talk about money during the war. good evening. alexander, please. i congratulate vasylya, i congratulate the audience. international partners are not optimistic enough about the growth of the ukrainian economy, lower their forecasts, but provide financial support.

we will also talk about taxes in the next few minutes, wait for the details in a moment. this is a column about money during the war, i am oleksandr morchavka, in the next few minutes i will tell the main things from the world of money. the european bank for reconstruction and development lowered the growth forecast for ukraine's gross domestic product for next year. expected 6%, but now they hope for at least 4.7%. experts note that the main factor in such a situation is the destruction of power generation facilities and facilities . giving electricity, this has a negative impact on the economy, the russians' strikes on energy have essentially failed four quarters in which significant gdp growth could have taken place. the european bank for reconstruction and development says that looking into the future is currently hampered by

a high level of uncertainty. but germany will still provide us with 70 million euros for the reconstruction of the energy sector. about this. reported german the ministry of economic cooperation and development, thanks to these funds, cities and communities will be able to purchase small thermal power plants for boiler houses, generators and solar panels. thus, it will allow to warm public centers, hospitals, schools and other social facilities in winter. the new property of putin's godfather's relatives, viktor medvedchuk and his henchman taras kozak, was discovered by the state security bureau together with the security service of ukraine. we are talking about the technical base of the plant in the lviv region. the court has already imposed an arrest on her, the property will be transferred to the national agency for issues search detection and asset management. let me remind you that earlier the brothers of the people's deputies of traitors were suspected of involvement in financial frauds to the detriment of ukraine. their company

did not pay taxes for years, and used its profits to finance russia's war against ukraine. planned increase. taxes will not have a significant impact on the level of inflation, as additional revenues will be compensated by budget expenditures. this is what serhii nikolaychuk, deputy chairman of the national bank of ukraine, said. he says that the majority initiatives submitted to the parliament will mostly have a neutral effect on prices. i would like to remind you that the bill on increasing taxes passed the first reading. it provides for an increase in income. treasury by uah 58 billion this year and uah 137 billion next year, the main amount will be brought by an increase in the military levy to 5% and an increase in the income tax for banks from 25 to 50%. next, we will talk about

tax innovations, natalia artemchuk, manager of the tax department, joins us. committee of the european business association. or can you hear us, mrs. natalya? yes, i hear you well. good evening. good evening. well, here is an immediate question. before raising taxes, it is really important, it seems to me, and this is the opinion of many experts, that it is necessary to intensify the fight against the shadow. how many of the big business players in your association, in particular, share this view and maybe have some recommendations? of course, not only all the business players who are part of our association, all the largest business associations of ukraine emphasize that the shadow sector must first be overcome economy. now in the shadows is exactly

the amount that the ukrainian budget needs to finance the armed forces of ukraine. according to estimates of the ministry of economy, up to 40%. of the economy is in the shadow, and it is approximately uah 400 billion. therefore, first of all , we would like the entire business to be equal. condition, because the tax increase, what is proposed by the government and the parliament, we understand that it will only be for honest businesses that already pay taxes, and 40% of businesses will never pay them. well indeed, those who worked in the shadows they will continue to work in this way, because they see that practically with them, well, the government does not wage any struggle, it is possible to somehow continue to work illegally. and if we talk about customs reform. in fact, the legislative initiative already exists, as far as the business now believes that the customs authorities will work

in a new, modern and transparent way, and indeed these legislative innovations can bring additional revenues to the budget. you know, the business is really full of hope, because the procedure and according to which the clearance of the state customs service should take place. it is similar the procedure by which such bodies as nabu were built, and we see that, so to speak, the reform of the bureau of economic security has not even taken place yet, but already the measures that they carried out in 2024 to combat the shadow sector in the field of the tobacco market , they are impressive, they are. yes, the market is still, let's say, not fully cleaned, but still, let's say

, we see that there is the ability of these bodies to work very efficiently, and the main thing is political will, i understand that when there will be correct instructions, when there will be no crushing , everything will work out for us, customs reform, we will fight smuggling and the shadow sector of the economy. well, the question of raising the tax for banks from 25 to 50% remains debatable, in fact the banking association and in particular the national bank are trying to find some alternative or at least joint solution with the government and criticize that in fact the tax increase already happened last year, it was discussed with by the international monetary fund, and again the additional levy is essentially out of time. well, on the one hand, we see that banks receive excess profits, but at the same time

the discussion of the levy has already taken place, in your opinion, will it bring a significant share of revenue to the budget, or is it just the government's view, well, the financial companies are making money, well, let's remove the wages from them, well, you know, we have a banking committee in association, represented by the largest banks in ukraine, we really... held a dialogue with the national bank and we had a joint dialogue with the ministry of finance, the verkhovna rada committee on of finance, tax and customs policy, and representatives of the banking association, banks are concerned given by this proposal from the government, namely in what, because according to their calculations, a large part of banks needs recapitalization. so that after they pay this increased income tax, they

will comply with the norms of their licenses, while some of the banks are state-owned, and they will also need this recapitalization, and this recapitalization of state-owned banks, it will come from the state budget, that is this is actually transferring from one pocket to another, you understand how it will happen, that is it is economically unprofitable to introduce such a tax, banks. argue that this rule will not have the effect that the government hopes for, moreover, that this rule will be bad if it affects in a more distant perspective, for example, after paying the increased income tax, less profit at the disposal of the banks themselves depends , therefore , smaller amounts of dividends will be paid, less paid taxes will be reduced and... on those shares in banks owned by the state

of ukraine, income tax will also be reduced will be paid in a smaller amount, i.e. increasing income tax from banks directly, the state budget will not receive in other parts of its budget and will be forced to additionally finance the recapitalization of state banks, well, it continues until tax innovations are worked out, well, our viewers are sure: the question is of interest, in particular to business representatives who are part of your association , should we expect in the event of an increase in fines, a revision of the tax legislation, an increase in the prices of goods. in particular, many such well-known manufacturers are representatives of the european business association, is this step calculated, and what kind of industrial inflation should we expect soon? you know, i'm already hearing feedback from our customers that companies, some in advance are trying to increase the fees for their

services. currently, initially, the draft law only planned to increase the military. levy is a levy on wages, but then they began to discuss such a proposal in addition, and why not also increase vat, value added tax, that is, on the one hand, we will see a decrease in wages, and on the other hand, we will have vat influence on the price of goods, on the increase in the value, let's say, of the basket of products that we will consume, and this in... in turn will affect the fact that we will be able to buy less, accordingly, companies will have less income, they will pay less into the budget , that is, let's put it this way, from the point of view of economics as a science, this is a rather ill-conceived move, but really, and again , only those who

work honestly will pay taxes, and the shadow sector will remain, let's say with even greater... advantages and we simple consumers will also pay, because it is clear that everything this will be built into the cost of the final product. we are following the tax authorities for tax innovations, the dispute is still ongoing. natalia artemchuk, manager of the tax and customs committee of the european business association, joined the conversation. i will put an end to the column, in the column about money during the war, but there is still a big broadcast going on, there will be a lot of interesting things, watch us. thank you alexander, thank you guests. we will continue, there is still some time to talk. let us now contribute to the needs of the armed forces of ukraine. so, the tv channel espresso and 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 armed brigades. forces of ukraine. defenders in the donetsk direction every day hold back enemy attacks, defend our freedom, our future, our lives. it was these soldiers who stood to the last and defended the avdiiv direction that difficult spring, on the 24th. the condition is the lack of ammunition and mass assaults by the enemy and the enemy's attempt to encircle our troops . then it was possible to avoid it, to get out from there. of course, these are real heroes. we have to help them. our goal is 3.5 hryvnias, you can see the details on your own screens and understand that we are not soldiers, even just helping, we are helping ourselves to win this war. dear ukrainians, we are fighters of the first assault battalion, the third separate assault brigade, who defend our native land on the front line, we urgently need your help, we need means

of radio-electronic warfare against the enemy's small bpolaga and drones of the comikat, we really ask for your help, glory ukraine, to the heroes, glory, so join us, we have already collected, well, as of the beginning of our gtr , 2 million were collected from a long time ago, even more, and all these tunnels, synovyres and so on and so on, then there was a certain tendency to shoot horror films, but none of them was so successful, moreover, i will say that more than one ukrainian horror film caused... irreparable psychological trauma to more than a dozen people, so that later people simply refused to watch ukrainian cinema for a long time, thinking that it was here it will continue to be like this, but on the other hand, this phenomenon can be understood, because it was such a dawn, i don’t know, the blossoming of this wave of ukrainian cinema, which we could observe further,

and of course it could not begin with the shaders of masterpieces, but then we also did not see in principle which ones... here are the successful cases of these horror films of ours and now we see another attempt to convey something to the ukrainian audience and experiments , the film is called morena and now i will explain why it is comedy trash horror because you know, this is another such genre, so bad that it's good, i'll say that i watched this film at the mykola kopen festival, there was a festival premiere and for... i was just hysterical and delighted, everyone was very, laughed a lot, a lot, and then discussed this tape for two more days and had very positive impressions, because well... again, the lack of scenes, make-up, special effects, some plot twists was so colossal that this

caused laughter, and you know, it was not for nothing that the film won an award in japan, as it were trash horror, because you know, the japanese in general are very good at this genre, let's watch an excerpt: prepare to die, bitch, are you bothering me all the time? "call the police, kiss better with this servo! i love dix and also let me tell you that we can't show you the whole trailer that came out, firstly it's pretty short and secondly there are a lot of scenes that we simply cannot show on television with impunity, a lot of nudity scenes, despite the fact that the main character..." and other characters are completely naked in this in this tape, and already she came across such accusations, there was still a bit of them in sexism, why is it that

only women expose themselves, and men do not? well, after all, this film tells about a couple, about anya and yura, medical students who come to the village where ani's parents live, and there in the carpathians, they see morena, and she is also... a bank, that is, she is such a witch, who , with the help of magic, takes out this jerk in anya, but anya turns out not to be such a weakling, and she is not afraid of any witch or supernatural forces, because she has to protect her her husband, her boyfriend, and this is exactly what she does throughout the film. well, the film will be released on december 5, we will watch how much the film collects in this box office, what... will be the box office, because i will tell and remind you, friends, that the yao film company released it wrong a long time ago, the tape konotopska vidma, which , from my point of view, can also claim

the title of trash horror, but it was filmed in such a way that many ukrainians liked it, because there is a ukrainian konotopska the witch takes revenge on the russian military, a lot liked this principle, and now they go to the cinema to watch this revenge. the film has already collected enough. a lot of money is involved, and you can even say that this is almost the only successful horror film in ukrainian cinema, although , to be honest, i would position it more as a thriller, and not as a horror film, and we also have a whole line waiting for us of these horrors, the next one will be the kakhovsky facility, from the name it is clear that it will be about the russians blowing up the kakhovsky gas station, and so far there is no rental date, no trailer, not any pictures, photos. we don't see them, only they will show them to us, we will definitely show them to you too, thank you, well, today we

collected uah 4,000, it's cool, and we already have uah 2,166,00, uah 344 more, thank you very much, i know, myself a connoisseur of horror, movies, horror, i write as... horror by nature, but i watch movies, for me, you know, the best such, comment or sign of a horror movie is words mykola gogol from old world landlords, where it is said that no, it is from the auditor, he says: it is scary, but you do not know why, but when a person is filmed, the director makes such a film, when it's scary, and you don't know why, it's a real horror, but i wish success to ukrainian film producers, and in any case, you will have to go see it on december 5, i'll tell you the end... yesterday the lazio team made a horror for ukrainian fans and to a greater extent, dynamo kyiv in hamburg, they took it hamburg was the home stadium, they played the first round of the europa league

, dynamo kyiv against lazio of the roman team lazio and lost 0:3, well , actually the game is equal in dynamics, even more shots on goal, first there the goalkeeper of providal had some sort of fart , well, there were many problems in... no, kyiv actually scored goals, it was completely the fault of the kyiv defense, well, we wish success to the capital team, the only question is why it was so far to go to hamburg for the game, 19 hours to get there, when kyiv played in lublin in poland, remember, the selection for the champions league, the stadium was full, because there are many ukrainians in poland, the poles cheered, well, in hamburg, unfortunately, the stadium was almost empty, and the result left an emptiness in my heart, but natalka will give us hope didenko, literally in a blizzard, she will talk about what the weather will be like in ukraine for... until tomorrow at 18:10, take care, all the best. synoptic, hello to all,

our dear viewers, we are starting our next meteorological meeting, we will talk about what the weather will be like for the next day, and now i want to look with you in the meteorological dictionary, which we turn to from time to time, and talk about atmospheric fronts, i often use this expression in connection with some kind of weather change, and you obviously also know that there is a warm, warm front, cold front, and we will actually talk now, why they are so... called, well, in general, the atmospheric front, it is not such a terrible beast, it is an imaginary, imaginary line, an imaginary strip between warmer and colder air, and if in the rear colder air is located in this imaginary strip, that is , this zone actually approaches some specific territory, well, to ukraine, then it is called a cold atmospheric front, if

this imaginary curve bends in such an arc from the south line... and warm air so simply even presses and warming comes, it is clear that it is warm atmospheric front. it very often happens that the cold front, it is more active, more mobile, and the air there is more cold, it quickly catches up with the warm front, they close, and this is already called the occlusion front. well, we know that usually during the passage of atmospheric fronts, the weather becomes difficult, but it becomes very interesting for forecasters, rains are observed. there is snowfall in winter and so on, that is, i remind you once again that any atmospheric front is a conventional line between colder and warmer air. well, now we move on to geomagnetic activity and now let's look at the forecast chart, it can be seen that fluctuations will be observed, but strong magnetic storms are not expected, fortunately, and therefore we return to our favorite forecast. so, tomorrow in...

the western regions of ukraine, from which we traditionally start our forecast, there will be some serious, heavy precipitation, that is, heavy precipitation, simply put, the air temperature will be 20-24°, in the north of ukraine, in zhytomyr region, kyiv region, in sumy, chernihiv regions, as well dry weather will prevail, the air temperature is quite high, 22-25, above zero. in the eastern part of ukraine, the weather is anticyclonic, i.e. safe. dry, clear, lots of sun during the day 24-26°. in the central part of ukraine from vinnytsia to dnipropetrovsk region, also without precipitation 23-26 above zero. in the southern part of ukraine, warm weather, 24-26°. no precipitation is expected. and in kyiv, in the capital, a dry air mass will also prevail tomorrow, the maximum air temperature will be around
