you are watching the live broadcast of the espresso tv channel. of research of the national institute of strategic studies of ukraine a-a so, ivanovych, you can hear us. i welcome you, dear tv viewers . of the most pressing economic issues, this is probably still a question of what is happening in our exchange offices. there are also offices. i saw today up to 35 hryvnias per dollar, but at the same time the national bank claims that the official exchange rate is 29. what does this even mean? why such a margin suddenly appears, the essence of this machine is that it is really because of the reality in which we find ourselves that there is a certain mistrust of the national currency in society because they feel that there are problems in the economy, this is logical. unfortunately, at the same time time e-e certain e-e analysts even not only analysts and people's deputies allow themselves the statement that the rate, for example, 40 hryvnias per dollar is a reality and it also affects people and, accordingly, there is a greater desire to buy the currency , accordingly, the more the desire to buy increases

institute for the study of war and fox news strategic analyst. i've been dying to hear what you think. in the lead-up to this may 9 celebration, a nationaliday. military parade, putin is there. a lot of anticipation of what he might say. he didn't really say much. what do you think of that? >> it's a surprisingly temperate speech. happy birthday and the best to you. yeah, most of us thought that so much more would come of this speech than what did. i think the general, their number one military general and probably the best general in a generation that russia has produced. he visited last week and got down to the tactical level to give you a sense of where he was, and i think maybe for the first time putin got a firsthand honest reflection of what is really taking place. and the challenges that the russians have on the ground. but the speech is characterized by more what he didn't say than what he did. he didn't -- as the u.k. defense ministry thought he was going to declare war in russia and go to full mobilization. did not happen. also he didn't claim victories over anything like mariupol or kirson or try to politicize them into being
