you don't take candy to the movies, what kind of reciprocity do you expect from her, the same thing happens here. er, i say it over and over and over. xijin ping has met putler in the past few years, when xijin ping has met about 40 times. how many times did our leaders meet chinese leaders during the period of poroshenko's rule, three times for half an hour, and not in china, in washington, in davos and at the un general assembly. what do we want from china if we... pay enough attention to who is our main trading partner, no let's forget that we and our comrade china, uh, china, really see each other 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, co-chairman of the ukrainian-chinese business council, and

now oleksandr morshchevka will talk about money during the war. good evening, alexander, please. i congratulate vasylya, i congratulate the audience. international partners are not quite so optimistic about 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. they expected 6%, but now they hope for at least 4.7%. experts note that the main factor in this situation there is below the destruction of power generation and transmission facilities and facilities. this has a negative effect. on the economy, the russians' strikes

on energy have essentially failed four quarters in which significant gdp growth could have occurred. 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. this was reported by the german ministry of economic cooperation. and development. thanks to these funds of the city and the community 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. new property of the relatives of putin's godfather 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 already. seized

her, the property will be transferred to the national agency for identification, search and asset management. let me remind you, earlier, the brothers of the people's deputies were traitors received suspicions of involvement in financial manipulations to the detriment of ukraine, their company did not pay taxes for years, and used the profits to finance russia's war against ukraine. the planned tax increase will not have a significant impact on the inflation rate. since 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 most of the initiatives submitted to the parliament will mostly have a neutral effect on prices. i remind you that the tax increase bill passed the first reading. it foresees an increase in treasury revenues by uah 58 billion this year. 2018 and 137 billion in the following year, the main

amount will be increased military duty 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 and customs committee of the european business association, joins us. can you hear us, ms. natalya? yes, i hear you well, good evening. good evening. well, here it is immediate question, before raising taxes, it is really important, it seems to me, and this is the opinion of many experts, it is necessary to intensify the fight against the shadow. how many big business players, including those in your association, share this opinion and maybe have some recommendations? of course, even. not only all the business players who

are part of our association, all the largest business associations of ukraine emphasize that the shadow sector of the economy must be overcome first of all. now in the shade is that one the amount that the ukrainian budget needs to finance the armed forces of ukraine. according to the estimates of the ministry of economy, up to 40% of the economy is in the shadows, and this is approximately uah 400 billion. therefore, first of all , we would like all businesses to be on equal terms, because the increase in taxes, what... is proposed by the government and the parliament, we understand that it will only be for those honest businesses that already pay taxes anyway, and 40% of businesses will never pay it, well , indeed, those who worked in the shadows, too they will continue to work, because they see that , in practice, the authorities are not

fighting with them, they can somehow continue to work illegally, and if we talk about customs reform, in fact, the legislative initiative already exists, as far as... 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 for clearing the state customs service is similar the procedure by which... bodies such as nabu were built, and we see that, let's say, the reform of the bureau of economic security has not even taken place yet, but already the measures they carried out in 2024 to combat the shadow

sector in in the field of the tobacco market, they are impressive, they are significant, so 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 the political will, i understand , that when there are correct instructions, when there is no crushing, everything will work out for us, customs reform, we will take away smuggling and the shadow sector of the economy, well, the issue remains debatable, the tax increase for banks from 25 to 50%, in fact, the banking association, and in particular the national bank, are trying to find some alternative, or at least a joint solution with the government, and they criticize that in fact the tax increase already took place

last year, this was discussed with the international monetary fund, and again the additional collection is essentially not in time, well, on the one hand, we see that the banks are receiving excess profits, but in at the same time, the discussed recovery 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, financial companies are making money, so let's take away their wages. ugh, you know, we have a banking committee in the association, represented by the largest banks in ukraine, we really had a dialogue with the national bank and a joint... we had with the ministry of finance, the verkhovna rada committee on finance, tax and customs policy and representatives of the banking association, banks are concerned about this, this proposal from the government, exactly what, because according to their

calculations, a large part of the banks will need to be recapitalized so that after they pay ... this increased income tax, they will comply with the norms of their licenses, while some banks are state-owned, and they will also need this recapitalization, and this decapitalization of state-owned banks, it will take place from the state budget, that is, it is actually a transfer from one pocket to another, you understand how it will happen, that is it is economically unprofitable to introduce such a tax, the banks claim that this norm will not have the effect that the government hopes for, moreover, that this norm will be bad if it affects in a more distant perspective, for example, after paying an increased tax on profit depends less on the profit at the disposal of the banks themselves, therefore

smaller amounts of dividends will be paid, taxes will be paid less, and on those on that share of shares. in banks owned by the state of ukraine, income tax will also 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 capitalization of state banks. well, the finalization of tax innovations continues, well, our viewers are sure to be interested in the question, in particular to business representatives who are part of your association, whether we should expect an increase in the price of goods in the event of an increase in penalties due to the revision of the tax legislation, in particular, there are many such well-known manufacturers. 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. at the moment, initially, the draft law only planned to increase the military levy, which is a wage levy. but then they began to discuss an additional proposal: why not also increase the vat, the value-added tax. that is, on the one hand, we will see a decrease in wages, and on the other hand, vat will affect us 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 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 say this, from

the point of view of economics, as 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. we, simple consumers, also pay, therefore that it is clear that all this will be included in the cost of the final product. we follow the tax, tax innovations, the dispute is still ongoing. nataliya 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 the big broadcast is still 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 brigades of the armed forces of ukraine. defenders in the donetsk direction every day. deter enemy attacks, defend our freedom, our future, our life. it was these soldiers who stood to the last and defended the avdiiv direction in that difficult spring of the 24th, in the face of a lack of ammunition and massive enemy assaults and the enemy's attempts to encircle our troops. then it worked avoid it, get out of there. of course, these are real heroes. we have to help them. our goal is uah 3.5 million. you see the props on your own screens and understand that... we are not soldiers, we are even just helping, we are helping ourselves to win this war. hello,

dear ukrainians. we, the fighters of the first assault battalion, the third separate assault brigade, who will 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 bpola and kamikaze drones. very please we ask for your help. glory to ukraine. glory, so join us, we have already collected, well, as of the beginning of our campaign, 2,162.14 hryvnias were collected, i will ask my colleagues, it is closer to the end of the broadcast, maybe they will tell me how much we managed to collect during this period, thank you for every hryvnia that you will donate, a comedy, a horror film and the carpathians. in december, morena's comedy thrasher will be released, it tells the story of copper students. who come to a carpathian village and meet there with unusual forces, of course the idea is not new, but it is interesting how

implemented? a few months ago, the first viewers had a real hysteria, says lina chechenina, and now she will explain why exactly. it seems that we haven't had a film in the genre of comedy trash horror yet, at least in ... officially, neither distributors nor producers have positioned their films in this way, although unofficially, de facto all this was, you can remember the period of ten years ancient times, even more, and all these same... stolony, synovirs and so on and so on, then there was a certain tendency to shoot horror films, but none of them were so successful, moreover, i will say that more than one ukrainian horror film caused irreparable psychological trauma to more than a dozen people, because then people simply refused to watch ukrainian cinema for a long time, thinking that it

would continue like this, but this phenomenon is also on the other side you can understand, because it... was such a dawn, i don’t know, the blossoming of this wave of ukrainian cinema, which we can, could observe further, and of course, it could not begin with the shaders of masterpieces, but we also did not see further in principles of some successful, give us 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 moren, and now i will explain. why is it 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 festival of mykola chupen, there was a festival premiere there, and the hall was simply in hysterics and delighted, everyone laughed a lot, a lot, and then discussed this tape for two more days and had a very positive

impression, because again, there the inadequacy of... scenes, make-up, special effects, some plot twists was so colossal that it caused laughter and you know, it was not for nothing that the film won an award in japan, as trash horror itself, because you know, the japanese generally understand this genre, very ok let's watch a clip prepare to die bitch you bother me all the time call the police moose better with this bitch i love dix and also let me tell you we can't show you the whole trailer that came out first it short enough, and secondly, there are a lot of scenes that we simply cannot show on television with impunity, a lot of scenes of nudity, despite the fact that

the main character and other characters are completely... shaved in this tape, and she has already encountered such accusations, there were still a few of them in terms of sexism, why do you only expose women and not men , well, after all, this film tells about a couple about anya and yura, medical students who come to the village where ania's parents live , and there in the carpathians they see morena, she is ivanka, that is, she is the kind of witch who chooses for help. magic, here's this guy in anya, but anya turns out not to be such a weakling, and she is not afraid of any witch or other forces, because she has to protect her husband, her boyfriend, and she actually does this 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 the box office will be, because i will tell and remind you, friends. that the yuao film company released not so long ago the tape the konotopian witch, which can also claim the title of thrash-horror from my point of view, but it was shot in such a way that many ukrainians liked it, because there the ukrainian konotopian witch takes revenge on the russian military, many liked this principle very much, and here they go to the cinema to watch this revenge, the film has already collected a lot of money at the box office and it can even be said that it 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 also a whole line of these horrors is waiting for us, the next one will be the kakhovsky object, from the title it is clear that it will be about the undermining of the kakhovskaya gas by the russians, and well, no

date yet rental, no trailer, no pictures, we don't see any pictures, they only show them to us, we will definitely show them to you too, thank you, well, today we collected 4000 uah, that's cool, and we already have 2 1666 uah, 344 uah more , thank you very much, i know, myself a connoisseur of horror, movies, horror, i write as literature, horror, but i watch movies, for me, you know... shim such a comment or a sign of a horror film, these are the words of mykola gogol from old world landlords, where it is said that no, it is from... when he says: it's scary, but you don't know why when a person shoots, a director shoots such a film, when it is scary, and you don't know why, it is a real horror, but i wish success to ukrainian film producers, and in any

case, i will have to go see it on december 5, i will tell you the end, yesterday horror for ukrainian fans was made by the lazio team and to a greater extent by kyiv dynamo in hamburg, they it was chosen by hamburg as its home stadium, they played the first round of the europa league, dynamo dynamo from the capital city against... lazio from the roman team lazio and lost 0:3, well, actually the game is even, in terms of dynamics there are even more shots on goal, first of all, there is some kind of fart the goalkeeper of providal had one, and there were many problems in the kyiv defense, in fact the goals were 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 the game all the way to hamburg, 19 hours to get there, when kyiv played in lublin in poland, remember the selection for the champions league, the stadium was over. 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 the heart, but natalka

didenko will give us hope, literally in a moment she will tell about what the weather will be like in to ukraine tomorrow, i will say goodbye to you until tomorrow at 18:10, take care, all the best, synoptic, hello to all, our dear viewers, we are starting... our next meteorological meeting, let's 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 change in the weather, and you obviously , that you also know that there is a warm, warm front, a cold front, and we will actually now talk about why they are called that, well, in general, an atmospheric front, it is not like that at all... a terrible beast is an imaginary, imaginary line, an imaginary band between warmer and colder air, and if there is

colder air at the back of this imaginary band, that means this zone is approaching some specific territory, well, to ukraine, then it is called a cold atmospheric front, if this imaginary line bends in such an arc from the south and warm air so simply even presses and... warming is coming, it is clear that this is a warm atmospheric front. it very often happens that a cold front, it is more active, more mobile, and the air there is heavier, cold, it quickly catches up with a warm front, they close, and it is already called a front occlusions, well, we know that usually when atmospheric fronts pass, the weather gets complicated, but it becomes very interesting for forecasters to see rains there or snowfalls in winter and so on, that is, i remind you once again that any... any atmospheric front is a conventional line between colder and warmer air, well , now we move on to geomagnetic activity, and now we look at

the forecast chart, we can see that there will be fluctuations, but no strong magnetic storms are predicted, fortunately, and so we return to our favorite forecaster, so tomorrow in the western regions of ukraine, from which we traditionally start our forecast, there will be some serious heavy precipitation, that is, insignificant precipitation, simply put, the air temperature is 20-24°, in the north of ukraine, in zhytomyr region, kyiv region, in sumy, dry weather will also prevail in chernihiv regions, the air temperature is quite high, 22-25, above zero. in the eastern part of ukraine, the weather is anti-cyclonic, i.e. no precipitation, dry, clear, lots of sun per day (24:26). in the central part of ukraine from vinnytsia to dnipropetrovsk also without precipitation 23-26 above zero. in the southern part

of ukraine, the weather is warm, 24-26°. no precipitation is expected. and in kyiv, in the capital tomorrow, a dry air mass will also prevail, the maximum air temperature will be around 23-24°. approximate according to previous forecasts of changes. weather in ukraine sideways, cooling, even rain is expected on september 28-29. keep an eye out for our updated weather forecasts on the espresso channel. good evening, we are from ukraine. glory to ukraine, dear tv viewers, on the espresso tv channel, west studio program. will be the most important events of this week, in particular, we will carefully analyze the peace plan of president zelensky and how it will be received in various diplomatic and power cabinets, overseas and european,

at the same time, we will... talk about how the west will adjust its concept of war , taking into account the fact that the armed forces of ukraine raised the level of escalation by destroying the strategic warehouses of the russian federation in the territory of the tver region, and let's talk, of course, about the impact of the kurdish operation of the armed forces forces of ukraine consciousness of ordinary muscovites. today's guests of zahid studio are metiya bryza and dmytro oreshkin. currently working on the air of the tv channel. matthew bryza, former adviser to the secretary of state of the united states, former director of european and eurasian affairs at the us national security council. glory to ukraine, dear mr. ambassador, i welcome you to the espresso studio. well, extremely important signals. i emphasize that signals come from us both from mass media and from certain diplomatic sources. we understand that a very tough war is going on, our fighters

are in the territory. of the russian federation in the kursk region, an extremely bloody operation in the pokrovsk region, when we talk about russian interventionists, and at the same time, we regularly hear one or another reports about the so-called peace negotiations and possible one or another agreements, let them not be immediate direct agreements , but in any case they are talking about the so-called possible package visions, and what is most important... the president of ukraine will present to the leadership of the united states, in particular to president joseph biden, the ukrainian peace plan in order to put pressure on russia, the aggressor state. how do you see the situation? yes, we know that president zelensky is going to present his peace plan to president biden, and there are high expectations, at least outside of the white house, with keyer starmer recently visiting washington, and...

so secretary of state david lamy and state secretary anthony blinken visited president zelensky, they were expected weighty decisions by the us and great britain, it was assumed that the leaders could allow ukraine to use missiles for attacks and storm shadow on targets deep in russian territory. however, this has not yet been announced. the us president's national security adviser jake sullivan was recently asked about this clearance. he simply replied: "i cannot make any announcement at this time. that does not mean that permission has not been granted, or that it will not be granted. it simply means that the united states is not ready to discuss this issue openly. at the moment, the momentum in of the biden administration and the starmer administration in london seem to be moving towards supporting president zelenskyi's peace plan, helping ukraine defend itself against russian attacks with

cruise bombs and ballistic missiles. and i believe that this is a positive impulse. dear mr. ambassador, we understand that this is not about political analysis, yes, because there are many components of this process that remain confidential or secret, and perhaps even not worked out, but if we take a general approach to such things as in your opinion, what parameters could be considered, what plan could this potential peace plan be, taking into account the fact that the aggressor state is against it. peace negotiations and they want fixation on the land, that is, they want to control our captured territories, but what about those, what could be the parameters of this so-called negotiated peace process? i will say that i do not have access to president zelensky's plan, since i live here in turkey, but it is clear that a large part of it is that the russian armed forces must withdraw from everything.

the ukrainian territory they occupied, including crimea and donbas. undoubtedly, russia must recognize the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine. unfortunately, i do not know what place in zelenskyi's peace plan will be allocated to ukraine's strategic orientation in the future. as early as march 22, there were rumors about not-so-secret negotiations taking place in istanbul between representatives of ukraine and russia. as reported, they included. ukraine's declaration of a political or geostrategic one neutrality, which would mean that no one will put pressure on ukraine regarding its accession to nato, as well as a ceasefire. when russia withdraws all its troops that entered ukraine during the second invasion in february 22. the issue of the legal status of donbass and crimea should be put aside for about 15 years. maybe that's part of the plan, though i doubt it...
