Glory to ukraine. The armed forces of ukraine advanced in the south and southwest from the old major. Thus, taking under the fire control of the novodonetsk kermenchuk highway reported this in a telegram , the 46th separate airmobile brigade of the armed forces of the armed forces of ukraine is engaged in heavy fighting along the entire front line of the armed forces of ukraine. The armed forces of ukraine are gradually pushing the russians away from the tick under the bachmut and are advancing in the area of the nut curd to the north of the city during the day, the enemy without success on on the battlefield, he carried out a hundred shellings from artillery and aviation , more than 10 settlements in Donetsk Region came under fire , the largest destruction was recorded in new york , avdiyevka and krasnohorivka were in the marines of the russians continue to carry out offensive actions and experiencing great losses in manpower, they have no success reporting to the general staff even on the front lines of the armys defense force, they do not stop training, they are honing their knowledge of tactical medicine, they are working on improving shooting , our colleagues from military television visited the school of the 30th separate mechanized brigade will tell you more in the material, the knowledge and skills of military personnel do not burden, but on the contrary facilitate the course of the battle. Not every day they practice tactical skills, medicine and fire training, instructor mykola shows what types of explosive devices the enemy uses and explains how they work , here is an example of a uzm72 exchange of circular damage , it is installed as well as for stretching. Under no circumstances can Different Military units be installed under them in this training city sharpen their knowledge and claim that it is important to repeat such skills because in the future it can save the life of their comrades , the tourniquet is placed as high as possible the most narrow category should be practiced almost every day and literally become familiar with your weapon. The training place is the militarys favorite shooting because it is really pleasant. Wasabi connects the success of battles with the systematic training. And he also says that all the guys who are motivated to win are brothers , those who are here now, they are not indifferent to the most important thing is that our children do not fight and that this does not happen again, the war continues and in order to achieve victory, the boys are ready to work hard, belarus is helping legal migrants to break through to europe this was reported by the commissioner of the polish government for the security of the Information Space of poland, stanislav zharyn, the situation on the border of poland with belarus remains tense, according to zharyn, the Belarusian Special services not only deliver migrants to the border zone, but also provide them with equipment for storming the barrier, in particular ladders and tools for cutting barbed wire , foreigners also have bricks with which they occasionally throw border guards, a polish Government Official believes that this behavior of the lukashenka regime is part of of the russian plan to destabilize europe, in particular the eastern flank of nato, the entire territory visited by the occupiers is considered potentially dangerous. Today, it is 17 and a half million hectares. That is, almost a third of the country, sappers have already surveyed almost 92,000 hectares, but this is still an initial review. Fullfledged humanitarian demining in ukraine can extend to 30 years are considered by the ministry of defense, and so far our sappers are carefully clearing explosives, primarily Critical Infrastructure, residential buildings and agricultural lands, step by step ukrainian sappers continue to make our lands habitable again since the first day of the great war russian explosive traps have already injured 644 ukrainian civilians , unfortunately more than 220 people have died saving others from enemy ammunition, they are dying from mines and so far it is only about the initial survey, in order for the territories to become completely safe, it is necessary to carry out thorough demining, it is called humanitarian, that is, now most of our units carry out only operational demining, now all our units, almost all of them work on demining of Critical Infrastructure today in ukraine, 174,000 square kilometers are considered contaminated with explosives, this is a third of our entire country and more than the territory of switzerland, the netherlands, denmark and belgium combined, in order to vaguely show the scale, the state Emergency Service created an interactive map , the most changed are the kharkiv and kherson regions, where the enemy was the longest during the great war, ukrainian sappers had already managed to survey almost 90,000 hectares of territory and show it to ukrainians on a pyrotechnics map , because it is extremely dangerous because no, we are not able to provide our enemy with information and vision where we have already demined the territory where the territory is completely safe where he can again use his power in order to demine the entire Kharkiv Region we need 125,000 sappers if they were there they would work for at least a year Kharkiv Region in the first place in terms of the number of dead sappers of the state Emergency Service in the region. All these months, combined squads from all over the country have been working almost every day in the region. Who removes this mino to neutralize it, how often do you come across this, there are a lot of them, i think it is more than 50 . In order to restore the deoccupied settlements to life, the sapper first of all demines gas power lines and water pipes, yards and access roads of agricultural lands in the Kharkiv Region, it is necessary to demine 600 thousand hectares of fields, the satarists lack strength, so the farmers here on the border with the Russian Federation are forced to hire black sappers or private licensed demining companies, well, for today, those eh the prices that private Companies Give for demining depend on the amount of demined territory. Well, there are from three to six thousand per hectare. But maksym, a farmer from the kherson region, singlehandedly took up his fields and sowed them with barley in his field, and at the end of april, they were found in places where there were ruptures spikes are much smaller than shells. Maksym bought metal detectors and together with the workers went around all the fields. When they saw shells, they marked them and called the rescuers. Such a system is a risk, but he says there was no way out if he waited for a humanitarian demining from the state would not have had time to sow in our country , demining took three months, three months, we started there on january 11, if i am not mistaken, and somewhere at the end of may. Almost 2 million hectares of fields have been mined in the liberated areas. Every year just from these lands will cost the countrys economy up to 800 million dollars. To date , more than 150,000 Agricultural Farms have been cleared of explosives in ukraine of land is still a third of what was planned, because at least 470,000 hectares of land must be cleared for this purpose, the government has developed a fouryear plan of understanding in the ministry of Agricultural Policy , the scale of the land that needs to be cleared is really crazy. But now every demined hectare helps the economy and the food sector to recover. This is vegetable crops. This is melon crops. Greenhouses and these are the moments that today are very difficult to replace with imports, and if we are talking , for example, on a scale of 10,000 hectares to 20,000 hectares countries it seems like nothing. But if we are talking about vegetable growing itself, this is a very large area, this is an area that can cover the entire internal consumption of ukraine. The world bank previously calculated that the complete demining of the entire contaminated territory of the state will cost almost 37 billion dollars alone in ukraine, this cannot be overcome otherwise. Demining will last for centuries, according to certain experts, so International Partners are helping ukraine to speed up by the end of the year , they promise to provide saperno equipment, drones and equipment worth 244 million dollars, in addition the government approved the mechanism for using funds from the youth 24 fund, which will be donated by ukrainians and caring people from all over the world and neil samsonov maria molevska olga read the fact ictv the only news due to the blocked grain corridor only in the first half of the year ukraine will lose at least 2 billion dollars about it on the air of the marathon the chairman of the National Bank of ukraine, Andriy Pishnyi, reported that the war continues. And this directly affects the economic situation, however, according to the head of the nbu, there are also positive trends during the fullscale invasion, there were none in case of bank bankruptcy, the Banking System did not stop for a day due to blackouts or lack of communication, the budget deficit currently remains at 26 of gdp, but the balance is maintained at the expense of International Aid this year, ukraine expects 42 billion dollars, next year it expects at least 37 billion, it should be enough for covering the internal deficit and for financing social needs, and Andriy Pishnyi considers the biggest victory to be the reduction of inflation by more than half from 27 per annum to almost 13 . I consider it one of the significant economic results, which we still need to maintain and ensure its stability during 2023 and 2024, because the National Bank has an inflation target. We must reach the highest inflation rate of 5 . This is a very ambitious and sushi bar in honor of the fallen defender of mariupol in cherkassy, the native azov of oleksandr kotsykonya. This is how his dream came true. He loved cars and cooking , especially sushi. He often made them for his mother or together with her. After the end of the contract in august 2022, he wanted to start his own business. But stood up for the defense of the homeland, an enemy bullet ended the boys life from this room, my every morning begins and my day ends , i turn to him in my mind every day. Chevrons, awards, gifts, and always fresh flowers, his token, he came on vacation, he gave it to his comrade. Well, when we knew that he had died, the comrade simply returned it to me because he knew how expensive the military path was sashka started with military service, studied at the Journalism Department of a local university, in the second year he transferred to the correspondence form and joined the army, later he signed a contract, and after getting to know the soldiers of the azov regiment, he decided to join them. This brotherhood is what each has for each other, and he was fired up by this, he said to mom i am moving to mariupol myself , i could not tell him no, because i saw how his eyes burned. Sashko loved to cook, says mom , when he came on vacation, he always met her from work with something delicious, cooked from the usual, some kind of potatoes, meat, fish. Well, he really liked, in fact, he really liked sushi when i had time and whenever i could, i bought all the necessary products. We prepared them at home after the contract expired. Oleksandrs dream is to return home and start his own business. But russia ruined the plans sashko died last year in march at the age of 22. He was carrying out a combat mission with a Reconnaissance Group in the center of mariupol. Only in august, after exchanging the bodies of the dead, his relatives were able to bury him, and a few months ago , his mother and younger brother made his dream come true. They opened a sushi bar, i loved sushi here, a colleague suggested to me to open such an establishment together, or from my brother, somehow for myself , you know, there will be an order for a voicemail , a veteran of the russianukrainian war, denys shirovskyi, got a job at the establishment, he was wounded near donetsk, his brothers provided first aid , but it was not possible to save the leg after rehabilitation treatment and prosthetics, the man drives here, he works as a courier, so far i have found tests, i can practice. I think after the end of the war, after our victory, that is society will somehow adapt to this that there will be many wounded and that they need to do jobs and good Material Support they wanted to develop further they emphasize here that we are always happy for our defenders iryna from sribnestryan facts ictv the only news the acceptance of applications to universities for the budget has just ended, from now on Higher Education institutions can carry out additional recruitment only for the contract, approximately 115,000 entrants will study this year on a budget basis , this years admission, despite the threats of war , emigration and other challenges, is going well more than 260,000 graduates successfully wrote the National Multi subject test this is 20 more than last year increased the conditions dictated by the war, for example, more than 1,300 places for therapy and rehabilitation were added almost 2,000 for workers the ministry of education does not choose the format of education for Higher Education institutions, but recommends it where there is none threats of Mass Shootings to return to offline i want to responsibly state that we are not talking about zaporizhzhia , we are not talking about kharkiv, we are not talking about mykolaiv and kherson, and not even about odesa, but im sorry kyiv and vinnytsia ternopil frankivsk lviv so further where are the periodic air alarms but there is no direct threat of artillery or ground operations, and we recommend going offline as much as possible, this is all the news for now, thank you for being with us. Take care, the path of the ukrainian people is the path of centuriesold struggle, the struggle for independence, sovereignty and our future, when the enemy destroys our cities, encroaches on the lives and safety of our citizens , our relatives and loved ones. We stand as an insurmountable barrier and a soluble force of struggle that destroys the enemy and wins victory. We are finding the strength step by step to return ours and we will definitely have enough strength to achieve victory. Thanks to the Defense Forces of ukraine , we are moving forward, the shelter is in a bad condition. Where to turn, check the shelter yourself , the instructions from the group will help with this of ozone public monitoring, download it, check the shelter and pass on the information to the representatives of the state administration of your district, they will pass on the comments to the recipient responsible for the state of the shelter balance and control the execution and quality of the work. Hryvnia inflation system since june. Last year, the bank rate, the accounting rate was 25 . Now with 22 . And from this decision, we will start a conversation with the head of the National Bank of ukraine, Andriy Pishnyi, who is in our studio today mr. Andriy, i congratulate you. Good day, tell me why this decision to revise the discount rate was adopted now and what effect do you expect from it . The answer looks even longer if we take into account that the discount rate, which is quite high at the level of 25 , was maintained for 13 months and was part of the anticrisis package that was introduced at the beginning in connection with those dramatic events, including from the point of view of the economic effect, as part of the anticrisis measure , this means that the softening of certain Monetary Policy was a consequence of the fact that the ukrainian economy began to demonstrate certain positive trends. Levels of almost 27 per annum in june , inflation decreased to 12 and eight percent , this is a very good result, more than twice as much. This is a consequence of the Monetary Policy of the National Bank of the effectiveness of the measures measures, including the Effective Work of the government, the interaction between the interNational Bank of ukraine and the ministry of finance, including the improvement of certain external conditions , well, in particular, the reduction of the cost of ee energy carriers. And this is also an absolutely unique and incredible ability of ukrainian entrepreneurs. It seems to me to work for any conditions, it inspires you because of this reduction in the discount rate, this is to some extent a signal that indicates that certain prerequisites have been met, but more importantly , you dont even know what exactly the rate was set the National Bank is important that the National Bank, having changed its approach, started a cycle of lowering the discount rate, and we made a certain announcement that under the condition that if stability is maintained, the effectiveness of our measures will be maintained, the level of interaction between the disinflationary trend and inflation will decrease, we see that the cycle of lowering the discount rate can be continued this does not mean that we promise that it will be like this, it means that we will work hard on it. To make it happen in the first place by creating prerequisites, so thats good the news is actually how the citizens of ukraine will feel about this decision, first of all, this is a certain message from the point of view of Monetary Policy , the discount rate after the National Bank, at the beginning of the war, the National Bank , taking anticrisis measures, fixed the Exchange Rate , remember before the war we had a floating Exchange Rate, now it is fixed National Bank the bank recorded that the Exchange Rate changed some approaches to Monetary Policy. It became more administratively managed, and the discount rate as one of the instruments of Monetary Policy began to play a certain role auxiliary value yes, this is the auxiliary value, this is a message from the central bank to the Banking System, however, how much hryvnia assets should cost , simpler, more difficult how should the value of deposits grow how much should banks offer you deposit rates this was the principle position of the National Bank because we believed that with high inflation, the value of deposits should be such as to ensure the preservation of your savings, if this does not happen, you as members who keep their savings in the bank and receive 9 per annum at that time when the inflation of 2628 feels uncomfortable to choose this money and take it somewhere to the Foreign Exchange market, as is usually the case, in order to purchase what you consider to be more stable, the american dollar, for us Exchange Rate stability was a fundamental condition because the gold and Foreign Exchange reserves were beginning to be depleted due to that the economic crisis provoked by a fullscale invasion made it so that we lost a third of our exports, accordingly, the inflow of foreign currency decreased until the moment when International Financial assistance did not arrive because of the high inflation, the low level of deposit rates created a certain pressure on the Exchange Rate policy. National banks, the Main Financial institution of the country, have several mandates defined by law. The first of them is ensuring price stability, so we are responsible for inflation. The second is financial stability. We are responsible for the stability of the Banking System. The first two conditions in economic development, so it was important for us to ensure price stability, to return ukraine from a growing inflationary trend to a disinflationary trend some things are going down, we managed to do it. I think this is one of the uh, well, probably the most important economic results that we still need to maintain and ensure its oldness during 2023 and 2024, because the National Bank has an inflation target. We must reach the inflation rate not higher than 5 . This is very ambitious. Yes, this is a very ambitious goal that the National Bank set for itself even before the fullscale war, i. E. 5 inflation this was the plusminus inflation that existed before the fullscale war during the fullscale war to have such inflation. It is either a miracle of some kind brilliant solution, but we will still get to inflation with you. I wanted to ask about the stability of the Banking System for almost one and a half years of fullscale war. There were no large, highprofile bank bankruptcies. It is possible to prepare for
