I hope, of course, that in the future there will be no simply occupied territories , but we must also support the displaced until this happens. The government of ukraine has expanded the possibilities of the grant program, the funds of which go to the creation of processing enterprises. Territories will receive nonrefundable funds from the state, so the participants of this program will receive up to 80 of the cost of the project. Well, a new stage of the preferential mortgage program, which is called housing is not only 7 . How much does such a mortgage cost them . War veterans and members of their families participating in hostilities; persons with disabilities as a result of the war; families of deceased war veterans; families of deceased military personnel; internally displaced persons and citizens who lost their homes due to the war; as noted by the ministry of economy the program is aimed at the primary Real Estate Market , you can take a home loan on preferential terms only in a house that is no more than three years old or in one that is only being built, and there are still a number restrictions, i. E. You have to. Well, for example, if you are a migrant, you dont have to have another home, and already in the free territory, you can read about all this in the application, the action is there in the services section, just such a section, there are houses there, all the conditions. Well, now lets talk with igor buryakovsky, head of the institute of economic of research and political consultations, mr. Igor, i congratulate you, i welcome you to us today. Well, how we love such a monotopic. We take one topic and consider it in detail. I suggest looking at the grain agreement, the grain corridor how did this agreement work for a year, what are the consequences of this work, uh, we understand that it is not working now , but lets start with everything one by one, what kind of agreement is it, why was it needed, how was it achieved about a year ago, as far as i remember, it happened somewhere in june 2022, well, i want to say right away that russian aggression has become a big test for the ukrainian economy, and it is not only the militaryindustrial complex, but also the impossibility of doing business as always. A significant part of the export of ukrainian goods is primarily about agricultural metals about some types of fertilizers and some other goods passed through the ports, mainly through the black sea ports of odesa, chornomorsk and pivdenny, it is clear that military actions are a big threat to the safety of transportation of the corresponding goods. Well, thats why our partners decided to help ukraine immediately somewhere starting from about april , the European Union with the participation of ukraine and other countries began to create socalled lines of solidarity, that is, to make it possible to export ukrainian goods through the territory of the respective countries, appropriate funds were invested in expanding the transport capabilities of our immediate neighbors in order to transfer at least part of ukrainian exports from sea routes to combined etransportation , i would like to immediately clarify why export is so important for ukraine, that is, our economy is strongly dependent on exports in its structure or e it is possible without that export. It would be possible to somehow manage to suffer such a large part of the ukrainian governments domestic product. Technology in ukraine is not quite included in the international, international, international, international markets, ukraine is a major exporter, lets say, of the same agricultural side, therefore , for us, export is a factor in our economic development, if we say in order to unblock ukrainian ports and accordingly export, first of all, grain, we were talking about wheat, we were talking about corn , we were talking about barley, we were talking about some other types of sunflower meal, Sunflower Oil through the odesa ports, about which i spoke about the great negotiator, two socalled mirror agreements ukraine turkey and e. E. In fact the organization of the United Nations that ukraine will export the relevant goods and e. E. Will do Everything Possible to ensure that this expassport takes place without problems and a second parallel agreement is signed, this is the agreement of the Russian Federation turkey and the United Nations provided military and, above all , security guarantees for all of this. If we now summarize very briefly , ukraine was actually able to export 33 million tons of leaf during the period of this grain agreement. Of agricultural grain, this is a very significant, very significant circus during the implementation of this agreement. Russia entered and exited several times. But nevertheless , the agreement was born. Well, today we also see that this agreement has been put on hold. The Russian Federation said that it will not continue it. But nevertheless, i think that they will not go anywhere, they will continue it. Well, as you correctly say that there were different periods of work of this grain agreement, and if it began with the fact that we agreed that we could export food products, well, in particular russia constantly tried to obstruct the operation of the agreement. Unfortunately, it was not signed immediately for a long period. It seems that the First Six Months were there, then they were extended for three months. Going through the Bosphorus Strait tried in recent months to work on the agreement, in fact, it blocked it, and we had experts from the Agricultural Sector here who say that, in fact, the agreement stopped working 20 days before as russia announced this publicly, russian inspectors simply blocked the passage of ships through the Bosphorus Strait for cargo and, er, i have such a question, mr. Igor. And do we need to restore the agreement in the form it was in when we were tormented with these inspectors by russian and in general, you are a bit humiliating, why should the russians check our courts . Can we do without russia in this agreement and simply ignore its opinion . Well, i think that russias price tag will always be present because it is military security and in this sense it is obvious with one way or another, russia will have to agree on whether it is possible to conventionally say, simply, export to ee without the participation of russia, well, from my point of view, there is a big question here, but at the same time , returning to your previous question , i would like to say that this Grain Initiative is very important against ukraine. If you take, lets say, the period from august 2022 to the trauma of 2023, 10 months of such active activity within the framework of initiatives, then approximately 45 of the export of the ukrainian agricultural coast, we are talking about wheat, we are talking about other grains just passed through the black sea, that is, for you, this is fundamentally important. I think that russia will return again, it is still political, thats how those games were, thats it, thats all it was. First , unfortunately, so to speak these are the economic realities when the war is waged directly interrelated, but there is another point in this export, not only ukraine is interested, our partners are interested , developing countries are interested, and thus we can consider the continuation of this grain agreement as a certain political pressure on the Russian Federation and this political component of this aid agreement, russia, africa, where african countries directly said that we do not need any supplies from you, and so on, lets import grain, lets unblock the trade that went with ukraine, because we need it it is fundamentally important and such ostracism of my point of view was to a certain extent not expected by putin. So i apologize to the audience, sometimes the sound does not work, but we understand that we conduct the program during the actual martial law and there are various troubles. I dont know if there were alarms today in kyiv, for example or not , but live broadcasts are also different. Us and many players in the world , they are putting pressure on the Russian Federation politically and with all kinds of different tools. To invade something additional for herself. Why didnt she invade before that, but maybe eh well, we remember that they wanted they wanted the export of ammonia from the territory of ukraine through the ports of odessa unblock swift access to the world Financial Market actually through one of its banks rossilgosbank maybe something new is being announced now what have you heard about . As far as i understand , there are apparently no active negotiations to date active consultations are underway, that is, russia has declared its negotiating position, and this negotiating position is that nothing will happen if you do nothing with us, i think that they are taking a certain pause in order to see what the direct reaction will be. Well, now a lot will depend on the International Community , i immediately want to say that it is really the Russian Federation when it comes to what, what , what, etc. , here are the schemes of cooperation, so to speak , certain concessions, they really try to bring immediately, as they say, like honey, and it is also clear with a spoon, lets say the connection of the russian bank to the world, it is not only and not so much that there will be payments for agricultural goods, which the Russian Federation is talking about, this will be a kind of window into the western banking system, with all the corresponding consequences. It is about the future format of the agreement , we can see that some of these are already underway. Well, lets call it a consultation at the level of experts. Of course, each side must defend its interests. Our interest is very simple. We must put pressure on russia. We must to export grain because it is our money, it is necessary for our economy although, of course , if we are at war with a country like the Russian Federation, we would not like to have any economic ties with any of them, but there are simply certain realities we must consider this very the grain agreement as an instrument of political pressure , including on the Russian Federation and the formation of a ukrainian political coalition, including from african countries, it is very important. In the political and security context. Thank you, mr. Igor. In order to confirm your words, i will provide the information that the south African Republic is trying to convince russia to return to the grain agreement. With his in a conversation with his japanese colleague and the japanese also as it turned out, they say that it is bad that russia withdrew from this grain agreement, that is, this global issue.
