00:03:41so, if you have such an opportunity, contribute
00:03:44with a hryvnia, and everything that can be purchased through this collection

00:03:50перемогу.
00:03:54Ukraine supports all real and reliable formats for ending
00:03:58the ceasefire and the war. Kyiv is ready not to strike
00:04:01Russian energy infrastructure and counts on a similar
00:04:05readiness from Russia and on an agreement with the President of the United States of America
00:04:08regarding this. The Armed Forces received all necessary
00:04:12orders. Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated this in his evening
00:04:15address on October 11, in response to Trump's post about
00:04:19Ukraine and Russia allegedly agreeing to a so-called
00:04:22"energy truce." The President of Ukraine emphasized that
00:04:26this is good news for everyone and it is important that it becomes
00:04:30a reality. At the same time, the State Duma of the Russian Federation reported that
00:04:34they have no information about such agreements, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
00:04:37of Ukraine, that same evening after Zelenskyy's address,
00:04:41published a statement that the Kremlin violated
00:04:44the truce immediately after its announcement, by striking
00:04:48Kharkiv TPP-5.
00:04:51There is a statement from the President of the United States that
00:04:54an energy ceasefire has been reached. This is
00:04:58good news for everyone, and it is important that this becomes
00:05:02part of reality. Ukraine
00:05:05supports all real and reliable formats for
00:05:08ceasefire and ending the war.
00:05:12Ukraine is ready not to strike Russian
00:05:16energy, and we count on a similar
00:05:20readiness from Russia and
00:05:22the agreement of the President of the United States
00:05:25of America regarding this. We, we welcome
00:05:29such an agreement.
00:05:32Seven US senators criticized President
00:05:35Donald Trump's decision to allow the import of Russian
00:05:38diesel fuel and urged him to change course.
00:05:42In a joint statement released by Senator Jeanne Shaheen,
00:05:45the lawmakers emphasized that such a decision contradicts
00:05:49the ban on imports of Russian energy carriers, imposed by Congress
00:05:53in 2022. The senators also stated that
00:05:56the Trump administration did not consult with Congress
00:05:59and did not provide a legislative justification
00:06:02for its decision. They stressed that the US should not
00:06:06help finance Russia's war against Ukraine. Trump announced
00:06:10the agreement on the supply of Russian diesel after a phone call with
00:06:13Vladimir Putin on October 9. Earlier, former
00:06:17US Vice President Mike Pence also spoke out against
00:06:21easing sanctions on Russian
00:06:22fuel.
00:06:25The Kremlin stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy must make
00:06:29difficult decisions to end the war. Thus, Vladimir
00:06:32Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on US President Donald Trump's call
00:06:36to elect a new Ukrainian leader. According to Peskov,
00:06:39Zelenskyy allegedly does not show enough political will
00:06:43to end the war. He also stated that the Ukrainian president
00:06:46must take responsibility for such decisions. The day
00:06:50before, Trump publicly urged Ukrainians to elect
00:06:53a new leader instead of Zelenskyy. This happened against
00:06:56the background of the American president's statements about an agreement with Putin
00:07:00on the supply of Russian diesel fuel to the world
00:07:03market.
00:07:06Ukraine uses asymmetric strikes to reduce
00:07:10Russia's ability to launch ballistic missiles. In
00:07:13September and early October, the defense forces hit eight
00:07:16Russian launch systems, destroyed three, and damaged
00:07:20five more. This was reported by Defense Minister Yevheniy
00:07:23Khmara. According to him, these strikes have already forced Russian
00:07:27troops to cancel or change planned attacks. At the same time,
00:07:31existing and potential missile supplies for air defense are
00:07:34insufficient to fully protect Ukraine from
00:07:37ballistics. Therefore, Kyiv continues negotiations with
00:07:40partners on acceleration.
00:07:43Khmara emphasized that Ukraine needs dozens and hundreds
00:07:46of missiles, not single deliveries. The minister also
00:07:49emphasized that the effectiveness of intercepting conventional Russian
00:07:52Shahed drones exceeds 90%, and
00:07:55interceptor drones are already being used against jet
00:07:58drones. In addition, since the beginning of Ukrainian operations against
00:08:02Russian oil refining, according to Khmara, 51% of Russia's
00:08:06capacities
00:08:08have been disabled.
00:08:11Russian troops are developing optical-navigation systems for
00:08:14attack drones that allow them to navigate without
00:08:18satellite navigation and not be susceptible to electronic warfare.
00:08:21This was reported by the President's advisor on the development
00:08:24of technological defense areas Serhiy Beskresnov, known as
00:08:28Flash. According to him, photos of the terrain,
00:08:31including from mapping services, are loaded
00:08:34into the drones. During the flight, the device
00:08:38compares them with the image from its own camera. Such systems
00:08:42are already used on Russian Molnia, VTU,
00:08:45and Lancet drones. In addition, the Susania
00:08:48navigation system was recently found on Geranium-4
00:08:52and Geranium-5 attack drones. Beskresnov
00:08:54emphasizes that drones that navigate using images
00:08:58of the terrain can be more resistant to
00:09:01REP.
00:09:04Vehicles that will help save lives have arrived in Ukraine.
00:09:08Six ambulances and a vehicle for transporting people with disabilities
00:09:12were delivered to Lviv. This is already the 24th humanitarian
00:09:15convoy from Belgium. It was carried out by the Charitable Foundation Mercy
00:09:19and Health, together with the Belgian non-governmental organization BFO
00:09:23Ukraine. In total, the organizers of the initiative brought more than
00:09:27150 vehicles to Ukraine. Ambulances will be sent to
00:09:31the most loaded areas of the front, where they will
00:09:34help save lives. Another vehicle,
00:09:37equipped for transporting people with disabilities, will be sent to a hospital in
00:09:41Boryspil.
00:09:43we understand that the general need, that is, at the moment we only
00:09:47have more than 100 needs, which are active needs from our
00:09:50army, from our hospitals, from
00:09:53stabilization points, and we try to cover
00:09:57all these needs, we have a very wide range at this time, this is the Kharkiv
00:10:01direction, Zaporizhzhia direction, Donetsk
00:10:03direction,
00:10:05Dnipro direction, the need is always great so that
00:10:09it is possible to deliver donor blood to people in time.
00:10:13to transport analyses of seriously ill
00:10:16people, this usually even happens
00:10:19at night, at a very unpredictable
00:10:22time.
00:10:25motivates us to continue, because we believe that we
00:10:28must help Ukrainians
00:10:30to protect themselves.
00:10:33Instead of the traditional start of the plenary week on Tuesday, the Verkhovna Rada will begin
00:10:37it today with a question hour to the government, which was canceled last time
00:10:41due to a prolonged air raid alert. Today, the elected officials
00:10:44will, in particular, talk about budgets for the 26th and 27th
00:10:47next year. They also plan to consider a draft law on basic
00:10:50social assistance. This is about approaching EU approaches and
00:10:53obligations to the IMF, as well as discussing a draft law that
00:10:57reforms the State Property Fund and a document on ensuring the educational
00:11:01rights of indigenous peoples of Ukraine and national minorities. It is necessary
00:11:05for opening negotiation clusters
00:11:33Every day Russian aggression causes destruction and pain to Ukraine, but
00:11:37no crime should go unpunished. The International Register of Damages
00:11:40for Ukraine is the first step to obtaining compensation, created under the auspices
00:11:44of the Council of Europe, to record every loss since February 24,
00:11:482022. Anyone can submit an application.
00:11:51People who have lost their home, property, or job, those who have experienced captivity or... relatives,

00:12:12The Register accepts and processes applications from victims for compensation for damages,
00:12:16losses, and harm caused by Russian aggression. Subsequently,
00:12:20a future international compensation commission will consider
00:12:24applications and make decisions on payments for... It will determine the amounts
00:12:28of payments from the future compensation fund. Don't wait for the end of the war, submit your application to the register today.

00:12:38billions of dollars that were supposed to be received, starting from January,
00:12:42we received only an average of one and a half. Monthly
00:12:46the situation looked as follows: January - 2.4
00:12:49billion US dollars, February - 1.5 billion US dollars,
00:12:53March - 1.7 billion dollars. USA, April, 1.3 billion
00:12:56US dollars, May, 500 million US dollars, only in
00:13:00June did 11.3 billion US dollars arrive from the European
00:13:04Union. Thus, the new government initially
00:13:07faced unprecedented challenges during its term.
00:13:10Firstly, these are foreign policy challenges due to elections in
00:13:13many countries, political vulnerability of partner countries, and
00:13:17frequent changes in policies towards Ukraine. Secondly, it is an economic
00:13:21challenge, constant shelling of businesses, destruction
00:13:25of warehouses and logistical routes, port blockades,
00:13:28loss of consumer confidence, this significantly worsened the state
00:13:32of the economy, which had already shown weak growth rates
00:13:36until then. According to 8 months, the economy showed
00:13:39almost zero real gross domestic
00:13:42product growth. For January-September,
00:13:45the general fund of the state budget has already under-received almost 50 billion
00:13:49UAH of planned revenues, of which 32 billion UAH in
00:13:53August and September. By year-end, the under-receipt of tax
00:13:56payments may amount to an estimated 70
00:14:00billion UAH. Inflation is accelerating under
00:14:03the influence of rising costs and supply disruptions. In
00:14:06September, consumer prices rose by
00:14:082.1%, and annual inflation accelerated to
00:14:1210%. Thirdly, the military
00:14:15challenge. Due to the threat of jet Shaheds and the need
00:14:19to invent a quick solution for their redirection and
00:14:21countermeasures. Also, the fifth challenge is the challenge
00:14:25of passing the heating season, especially huge in
00:14:29the capital and other large cities. In addition,
00:14:31we, the new government, faced the problem
00:14:35of fulfilling international obligations, which had accumulated since
00:14:382025, as a consequence of not receiving
00:14:42external assistance in sufficient volumes. In particular, the delay
00:14:46of macro-financial assistance in the amount of 4.25 billion
00:14:49US dollars, which we were supposed to receive back in
00:14:52August-September, is equivalent to
00:14:56one and a half months of state budget revenues and business tax payments, meaning
00:14:59it's quite a significant resource that we
00:15:02didn't receive, and therefore we have certain
00:15:06problems. Also, we all need
00:15:09to understand that continuing the war requires more and more resources, every
00:15:13year the price of war increases. If in 2022 the defense
00:15:17sector needed 105 billion US dollars, now
00:15:20defense expenditures are 155 billion US dollars. Against the background
00:15:24of identification. of combat operations by security and defense forces,
00:15:28as of August, underfunding in the amount of 27 billion US dollars was recorded
00:15:31by the end of the year. The reason for this was that
00:15:35partners did not ensure bilateral assistance.
00:15:37And now we are actively looking for solutions. At the same
00:15:41time, as a result of non-fulfillment of international
00:15:44obligations,
00:15:46we have already under-received 29.5 billion US
00:15:50dollars. This figure needs to be adjusted for the last tranche, but it is still
00:15:53the same amount, the amount
00:15:57of funds that should arrive by the end of the year
00:16:00is extremely, extremely large, and this
00:16:03is now a matter of Ukraine's survival, and it's a matter
00:16:06of us all needing to understand how
00:16:10critical this is now. We can, and there are now
00:16:14enough opportunities to attract the specified gap
00:16:17and fulfill those reforms and obligations that
00:16:21face the parliament and the government, for example,
00:16:24the issue of taxing parcels, the issue of taxing
00:16:28payments in the zone, the issue of establishing the zone
00:16:31of Eurospa payments, the selection of members of the Accounting Chamber,
00:16:35the draft law on property valuation from. competitions for public
00:16:38service, restoration of the provisions on P&P and other, other
00:16:42extremely important laws. I urge the people's deputies
00:16:45to dedicate this week to voting for
00:16:48these important laws. Unfortunately, in October we entered a liquidity
00:16:52crisis, at present only defense
00:16:56expenditures, pensions, salaries, and social benefits are financed.
00:17:00A decision was also made regarding the prioritization
00:17:03of expenditures, the financing of capital expenditures was suspended until
00:17:06the restoration of the single. treasury account, it is not about
00:17:10canceling programs or refusing work, it is about postponing
00:17:13part of the expenditures to the end of the year. The goal of this
00:17:16step is to distribute the available resources according to
00:17:20priorities. About 309 billion
00:17:22UAH were postponed to the end of the year. In
00:17:26addition, as of today,
00:17:29on the single treasury account, there are 46 billion
00:17:32UAH in the treasury that have not been spent, of which...
00:17:35This is road repairs and maintenance and development of administrative
00:17:39centers, repairs of correctional facilities, purchase of school
00:17:42buses, current and capital repairs of housing stock and
00:17:45preparation for the heating season and purchase of backup power, with
00:17:49understanding of the crisis situation, the government recently
00:17:53unblocked stability plans, I hope that
00:17:56the relevant main administrators, local self-government bodies
00:17:59will be able to prepare for the heating season in time. In
00:18:03addition, taxpayers have been suspended from
00:18:08budget VAT refunds for 18 billion UAH.
00:18:12The government is actively
00:18:14taking steps to find internal resources.
00:18:18The work of the working group on de-shadowing has been activated. Within the framework
00:18:21of its work, proposals will be developed to avoid artificial
00:18:24division of business, to counter illegal production and sale of tobacco
00:18:28products, to shadow the labor market, and to misuse humanitarian
00:18:32aid and other issues. We have also activated
00:18:36significantly increased borrowing in
00:18:39the domestic market, we have already practically fulfilled the annual borrowing
00:18:43plan, but we are increasing borrowing in order
00:18:46to have sufficient liquidity, first of all, to make
00:18:49social payments and for the security and defense sector. We have also
00:18:53activated our international track. We are working with
00:18:56the European Union, the International Monetary Fund, the G7
00:19:00countries, the World Bank, and other partners. Our
00:19:03task is not just to agree on the total amount
00:19:06of assistance. We need specific schedules for receiving funds,
00:19:10predictability of financing, and coordination of decisions at the level of all key
00:19:13partners. The European Union plays a decisive role in this
00:19:17support. We have already received 10 billion euros
00:19:21this year, and we also plan to receive an additional
00:19:2417 billion by the end of the year. In
00:19:27addition, as part of the work
00:19:30in the group of finance ministers of European countries, we met in
00:19:34Ireland with all the finance ministers of European countries, conveyed
00:19:38our needs, including for the security and
00:19:41defense sector. There was a meeting with the leadership of the International Monetary
00:19:45Fund, there is an understanding of what we need to do to
00:19:48continue the financing program from the
00:19:51International Monetary Fund. We have also intensified work with other
00:19:55G7 countries, Japan, Great Britain, Canada,
00:19:58there are necessary steps, there is a plan of how we
00:20:02can work together to make these steps happen,
00:20:05but the funds are not... given as
00:20:08a given, not as a given. In order
00:20:12to receive funds, we must collectively implement an action plan and fulfill our
00:20:15obligations. For the 27th year, the need is as follows:
00:20:19the budget deficit is 30 billion euros, the uncovered
00:20:23defense need is an additional 40 billion
00:20:25hryvnias, euros, sorry, we
00:20:29expect that our partners will help us jointly find
00:20:32a way to resolve and cover these needs. We are also
00:20:36actively working with other
00:20:37countries,
00:21:28that the financial situation in Ukraine is extremely
00:21:31critical. And that today not
00:21:34even priority expenditures are financed. For
00:21:38the army, for example, monetary provision for military personnel is currently
00:21:42delayed. The lives of children are not protected, because
00:21:45underground schools, which are simultaneously
00:21:49bomb shelters and provide an opportunity to protect
00:21:52children from attacks, are also not financed, even
00:21:55built ones are not financed. Key
00:21:58social programs are not financed, and I have
00:22:00a question: please, tell me,
00:22:04why are today two of the most powerful
00:22:08companies, two that will receive almost 100 billion
00:22:11UAH per year for large construction, so-called
00:22:15road works, and only last September
00:22:19month... 10.7 billion, minimum, was financed,
00:22:23that's what we saw. Please tell me, are these
00:22:26priority expenditures, and also hundreds of billions
00:22:30are maintained for this year and next year for the National Bank.
00:22:48provision for military personnel is financed on time and in
00:22:52full. Secondly, all social programs
00:22:55are financed on time and in full, we have
00:22:58no delays in any programs and
00:23:02none are expected by the end of the year, we have an understanding of how to
00:23:05cover this. Secondly,
00:23:09regarding the comparison with road financing, we
00:23:13had the first payments, which were blocked in
00:23:16the treasury in September, these were precisely road
00:23:20financing, so, as soon as the relevant laws are adopted,
00:23:24financing will be unblocked, including roads, but
00:23:27to say that we are financing roads now
00:23:30or any other capital construction programs, that is not true,
00:23:34we are not financing any capital expenditures. Only
00:23:37recently was the financing of
00:23:40stability plans restored, but the amount there is insignificant, but again,
00:23:44it will allow us to prepare for the heating season, so
00:23:47firstly, everyone will be
00:23:51we will restore the liquidity of the treasury account as soon as the necessary
00:23:54laws are adopted by parliament.
00:24:18weeks ago... all people's deputies were very surprised
00:24:22when the doors of parliament were closed, and the government went to Bukovel, well,
00:24:25the priorities were clarified. Second story:
00:24:28if you, Mr. Serhiy, say that laws need to be urgently
00:24:32adopted, then please address the mono-majority,
00:24:35which disappeared for three weeks, nobody knows where. And now
00:24:39I have two very specific questions, you say, you and a question
00:24:43to the prime minister, that we have a disaster with
00:24:45money, but that doesn't stop you from allocating money for
00:24:49roads. order 835R from August 21,
00:24:522026, 26 billion,
00:24:55that doesn't stop you from allocating money for the marathon, for
00:24:59cashback and everything else. And the second question, is
00:25:02the government going to support the proposal of European Solidarity and
00:25:05direct more than 500 billion UAH to the army, instead of corrupt
00:25:09expenses, road theft, marathon, populism, and so on.
00:25:22I already said
00:25:25that no capital expenditures are being
00:25:28financed, and therefore,
00:25:30excuse me, this debt that
00:25:34has accumulated will be unblocked only after
00:25:37the laws are voted on. When you appeal to me that
00:25:40the majority should vote for this, excuse me, but the obligations of the Verkhovna
00:25:43Rada, and the ratification of
00:25:46the support loan, this was a joint decision
00:25:50of all parliamentary factions to support these obligations.
00:25:53Again, we are now talking about the fact
00:25:55that we have delays from 2025
00:25:59due to unvoted laws. Therefore. Therefore,
00:26:02I appeal to you that we must jointly find
00:26:05a solution. Regarding the programs you
00:26:08mentioned, your mentioned programs are also not
00:26:12financed, it is about the lack of funds
00:26:16for these programs. Regarding
00:26:19finding sources for financing the armed
00:26:22forces, we will work jointly with you, with other parliamentary
00:26:26factions in the budget committee to work out
00:26:29proposals. The mentioned 500 billion, it seems to me...
00:26:33an inflated figure, but if you really show
00:26:36sources for financing, we are ready to consider
00:26:39any sources of financing that will make our armed forces
00:26:42stronger, but I want us to also adequately assess our
00:27:01the minister.
00:27:07hryvnias, and will there not be a deficit, as some experts predict, of 140 and
00:27:10170 billion. What are we doing to avoid such a
00:27:14situation? And my second question is to
00:27:18the Prime Minister, when you had interviews with groups,
00:27:21factions, we talked about Uman, but unfortunately, now there
00:27:25is an industrial park Lipoviy formed here, for which
00:27:29the BEP is currently investigating a criminal case, and the Uman University is involved in this scheme. These
00:27:32are the same people, but for some reason,
00:27:36Batenko, Mr. Minister, Butenko, I apologize, Mr.
00:27:40Minister ignores all appeals of deputies, and unfortunately, we do not
00:27:43find understanding in this, and can you as
00:27:46Prime Minister intervene in the situation and stop
00:27:49these corruption schemes that are happening in the city of Uman, industrial park
00:27:53and university, where the same bandits who
00:27:57are involved in cases of humanitarian aid theft are now managing.
00:28:06question regarding, as
00:28:09you said, the hole, it is not a hole, it is an undercollection
00:28:12of taxes due to objective
00:28:15reasons. If you carefully
00:28:18follow the situation in the economy, then
00:28:22this is a natural phenomenon, when businesses are destroyed,
00:28:25logistics are destroyed, ports are blocked, metallurgy
00:28:29is destroyed, it is difficult to expect that... that
00:28:33a business that has been destroyed will pay taxes in the amount that was
00:28:36planned, but this does not mean that we are not taking steps to
00:28:40restore this. Moreover, moreover, as I noted in my
00:28:43speech, we significantly increased the volume of domestic borrowings
00:28:47above plan, in order to cover the undercollection
00:28:50of taxes this year, so I think that
00:28:53the situation is controlled, the only thing we cannot control is
00:28:57the fulfillment of our international obligations, so here we must
00:29:00work together, and you...
00:29:43criticality of the budget situation, of course,
00:29:46that security and defense forces and expenditures on them
00:29:50are the number one priority, we agree with this,
00:29:53however, I express a reservation that all local
00:29:57self-government bodies have, which is that you should still
00:30:00prioritize payments from the single treasury
00:30:04account slightly differently, so that communal
00:30:07services can pay salaries to their employees and
00:30:10energy carriers and fuel, this is very important, and please tell
00:30:14us what the general situation is on the single treasury account and when
00:30:46Oleksiyovych, I have a suggestion to put a procedural motion to a vote,
00:30:49to continue working during the yellow
