, dear colleagues. Next, the next amendment. , at the beginning of the war he got into one, even at that time it was not dtg, it was in the beilohorodka area, it it was the third, second day of the war, and there were men who gathered to defend their villages and took machine guns. They took what they had, weapons, carbines, and were preparing to repel the russians, well, i get to know them, there one says, i am a captain, i am a lieutenant, i am a Lieutenant Colonel, and a man is sitting, he says, i am a Lieutenant Colonel of the Foreign Intelligence Service of ukraine , and it is a Great Respect for him that he did so, i say avo, tell me how much you have in reserve, when you were released, he says, i did not release, i say, why are you here . He says, i have nowhere to go, so that this structure behaved so interestingly, for example, their warehouses near kyiv, in the socalled forest, were so dismantled on the 24th that they still cannot identify the weapons, and we are now allocating 500 million, and why did i talk a lot about gur today, i am sincerely proud of this organization. I sincerely believe that from the 24th they did everything as all special structures should have done, as the armed forces of ukraine did, as the Verkhovna Rada did, to our credit, it gathered in this hall, did not run away, did not run away, here she was, after the meeting some left, and the council was here, unlike many others institutions that were relocated very quickly to transcarpathia, so come on, lets go, maybe at the next one, and add a minute to dmytro oleksandrovich, already at the expense of, therefore there is a proposal, after all, to provide funds not because someone wanted to , who really deserves it. You propose to allocate half a billion to the Foreign Intelligence Service, i think that the armed forces of ukraine are more effective and it is proposed to allocate 333 million to them, and 166, almost 167 million to the Main Development management and the ministry of defense, i really like it. Please to support those who protected you on february 24 and gave you the opportunity to vote in this hall for everything that needed to be done in the Verkhovna Rada of ukraine. 966 then for confirmation to take into account, thats right, two 966, 967. I put amendment 966 to take into account the authorship of razumkov and colleagues, it was rejected by the committee, please vote, for 16 the decision was not taken and 967, also authored by razumkov and colleagues, please vote. For 16 decisions. Accepted, 968 do not insist, 969th, please, velichkovich, dear colleagues, please support this amendment, which says that Budget Program 66, 21. 010 should be supplemented, ensuring intelligence activities in the sphere of state security. The special protection of state representatives abroad and the activities of units of the Foreign Intelligence Service of ukraine and to increase the consumption expenditures of the general fund and constantly as the military at the front 969 amendment, so it was 970 please gerasimov , dear ruslan oleksiyovych, here is such a point that i do not agree from the point of view of this amendment with dmytro oleksandro. Why, because we believe that such Foreign Intelligence Services should be added, indeed, in the first days of the war, there were a lot of complaints against many institutions, some of them i already mentioned today, but as for the situation today, without foreign intelligence, we will also lose , because this is part of our fight against aggressors, but as for this law, i have already given many examples why it cannot be voted for, and i will continue to simply quote it, well, for example , the ministry of finance additionally wants an example allocate 272 m 791 hryvnias. Why not, because they have 252, if im not mistaken, a million unused salary funds. And this is only part of the examples, i will also continue to cite them in my subsequent conclusions so that you understand what amounts are involved, lets say this, i would say without a certain orientation. Thank you. Editing thank you, please, 971 honcharenko. Amendment 971, for a vote , gerasimov said, and i apologize, 970, authored by gerasimov and colleagues, was rejected by the committee, i ask you to vote for 10, the decision was not taken, fractions, show, 971, honcharenko, please, we. We propose, my amendment proposes to add money to the Foreign Intelligence Service of ukraine. I think that after february 24, 2022, well, it is obvious to everyone how important it is, when the country did not prepare for a fullscale invasion, and we have a disaster in the south, we have an enemy that has reached the very border of kyiv, and although we were warned our partners, but. The authorities did not want to believe, the consequences are terrible, the Foreign Intelligence Service must be powerful to to know all the plans of the enemy, and maybe, in the end , to strike a decisive blow in this lair and kill this scoundrel, Vladimir Vladimirovich pouillot. Therefore, it is our task to help our scouts, they will give it a hundredfold. Thank you. I insist. Thank you, 97. Goncharenkos 51st amendment is rejected by the committee, i ask to vote for 18 decision not taken 972 goncharenko, please, again we are talking about the Foreign Intelligence Service, again i want to draw your attention to how necessary and important it is. To understand the priority at all, well, here i am, i really am im lost, well, here is this specific correction, i suggest adding uah 647,000. We saw how the ukrainian Mining Industry orders thermal cups for 79,000 hryvnias each, for 15 million, some kind of souvenirs, well, this is the kind of expense we have, very, very important, just absolutely necessary, and to add at least. The Foreign Intelligence Service, no , add something to ngu, dpsu, no, zsu, no, no, no, but for some stupid thing, please, to rob, somewhere, okay, throw it away, send money for supposedly produced solar electricity to the deputy head of the president s office, and always welcome , thank you, be laska, 970. 974, 975, 976, 977, dmytro oleksandrovich. Today we talked about 570 million for special and special communications. And unfortunately, roxelanna andriivna could not convince, because i dont understand, we are not increasing the number, we are not increasing anything, but we want to spend almost 600 million uah there, the logic in this, unfortunately no, i dont support it, our colleagues from reasonable politics do not support it either, because 560 million for drones is not enough for an army of drones, about which there is so much talk, but transferring these funds to the armed forces of ukraine and to gur would be logically, thats why i propose once again, 23 out of 570 million, that is, we have 300. 80 million for the armed forces of ukraine and 190 million for the main intelligence directorate. I think that somehow the state special forces, i do not understand what they do at all. Roksana andriivna, i praised you so much, but you see, towards the end, your nerves couldnt stand it, you are closer to motovilovits. But lets get back to work. Seriously though. Then i dont understand why derspetszvyazok deals with drones, i just dont understand, show me the following in their functionality such tasks, where it is prescribed, exactly why , because it is a subordinate fodorov structure, well, that is very good, but we take a state position, not a private one, so lets direct these funds to the army and the gur. Thank you, dmitry oleksandrovich, 977 we vote, yes, two 976, 977, please, one, please, 977 , the authorship of razumkov and colleagues, it was rejected by the committee, please vote, for 15, the decision, not adopted, 978 do not insist, 979 and, do not insist, insist, velichkovich, please, dear colleagues, this amendment is about making changes to of the Budget Program, 6641 010, ensuring the functions of the state system of special communication and information protection and i am contacting this amendment to increase the Consumption Fund of this service by 616 000, i believe that this service and what they are currently planning to do, this is what is needed now, we see how necessary drones are now on the front, how effective they are and how much they take the lives of our soldiers, so i will appeal to all my colleagues to support this amendment so that we allocate additional funds on civil service, and vote for. Thank you. 979 amendment by bonddar and velichkovich, rejected by the committee, please vote. For 11, no decision has been made. The next amendment is the 980th, gerasimo, please, thank you, ruslan oleksiyovych, i will continue to say why this bill cannot be voted on. Once again, and yes, we allocate additionally , i emphasize, additionally, 91,198 to the ministry of justice of ukraine, i want to remind you, this is for the maintenance of russian prisoners of war, additionally, i emphasize, whether it is necessary. Not to allocate it or not, well, you know, i consulted with many colleagues, i dont think its right, 30 million are additionally allocated to the ministry of Environmental Protection and natural resources, why, why do it now, and you know, we got to the pddfo of the zakarpattia region, so there it is the Transcarpathian Regional Council has decided not to take away the pddfo from them, it will be very interesting how the vote will be for this laba mykhailo mykhailovych, who was elected in the transcarpathian region in the city of svaliau in district number 70, we will follow this tomorrow, thank you , thank you for voting, the tenth amendment arev gerasimovych and goza, it has been rejected by the committee, please vote for eight, no decision has been made 981 goncharenko, please, 981st goncharenko, we are talking about selection. Funds for the state system of special communication and information protection, extremely important in todays conditions of the 21st century, this is cyber security, this is drones, and you know, maybe its time to put all this on the shoulders of volunteers, instead of the work of the ukroboronprom, state enterprises, we have one minvolunteer and a ukrvolunteerprom that provides the military with many things. Which must be provided by state bodies. I know this well, we are actively engaged in this. The centers handed over 24 antidrone guns, dozens of drones, hundreds of walkietalkies to honchurenka, and we will continue to do everything we can, thanking those who come, those who donate to partners, even foreign partners, but the state cannot at this time, when children give their last hryvnia to spend money on tv shows. Please, 982ga, honcharenko. Again we are talking about the state system of special communication and information protection, we met with them today and i want to to say that they communicated directly and they told us how great and necessary work is being done, and how can we not support them, really do, well, some crazy expenses, you know. How many tens of millions have we spent on some strange, englishspeaking, foreign vision of some kind, on which some culinary shows that no one watches, go there now on youtube, how many people watch, how many zero, these are all some feeders for someone, they created, quietly for themselves they are hemming there, and at this time we do not have enough for the most important thing, the most important thing, our defense and our victory. Well, i dont know how to call it all, but i demand a vote on this issue. Thank you, please. Amendment 982, authored by gerasimov, pavlenko and honcharenko, rejected by the committee, please vote. Yes, nine, the decision has not been made, 983 zheleznyak, hlapuk, do not insist, 984 zheleznyak hlapuk tzabal do not insist, 985 zeleznyak hlapuk tzabal do not insist, 986 fedina friz do not insist, 987 bondar and velichkovich do not insist. 988 gerasimov. Thank you, ruslan oleksiyovych, lets continue, lets continue about this one bill. Once again, here. We can see from the name that it turns out that our money only goes exclusively to the security and Defense Sector and to the primary needs, and here we see the ministry of culture and information policy of ukraine plus 18 additional million, listen, we are short of two billion for the marathon, which almost no one watches, and you could simply direct this money to the armed forces, you had 175 million for the rada tv channel, and you know, well, i would like to say what. Thats exactly the kind of things and they undermine the trust in such bills and many times today there were opinions that if the money in the draft law had really been allocated exclusively to the security and Defense Sector, then it would have been voted on without any problems, thank you, thank you, dont insist , dont insist, thank you, dear peoples deputies, consideration of issues on the agenda today we have not completed it completely, but i thank everyone for the fruitful work, now i announce a break in our plenary session, we continue to work for victory and glory to ukraine.

Highly respected mr. Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, honorable vice speakers, honorable peoples deputies, ladies and gentlemen, ukrainian men and women, i welcome your initiative to restore the traditional format of communication between government officials and parliamentarians directly in the parliamentary session hall. This is important for the effective interaction of the executive and legislative branches of government, it is important for working out answers to the challenges of wartime, today there are a lot of challenges facing the state, today i will focus on the main ones in detail. The first challenge is financial sustainability. Already 19 months of fullscale after the war, the state maintains macrofinancial stability, this is the joint result of the work of the president , parliament, government, and the national bank. Ukrainian business, this is the result of the support of our allies and partners, sincere thanks to everyone who works for ukraine and for our victory. At the beginning of the russian invasion , ukraine attracted almost 65 billion dollars of partner aid in the form of soft loans and grants, of which 32. 6 billion were attracted in 2023. First of all, from the european union, from the United States of america, from the International Monetary fund, from canada, japan, from our other partners and allies. In general, this year we plan to attract 42 billion dollars of macrofinancial and Partnership Assistance in the form of cheap longterm loans and grants. Ukraines International Reserves now amount to more than 40 billion usd equivalent. This is the highest indicator since independence. In 8 months, inflation decreased from 26. 6 to 8. This shows that we have come out of the period of economic turbulence and can count on a gradual recovery of economic recovery. The government provides stable financing of all Budget Expenditures from the general fund of the state budget, we spend more than 40 on the wages of the military and state employees, almost 25 goes to the payment of goods and services, including the purchase of equipment, weapons, ammunition, equipment for ours. Defenders, more than 18 goes to social security, pensions and benefits, more than 5 are transfers from the local budget, we have an understanding of how to finance key expenses next year, we will definitely need your help, just as we will need this year in 2024 Strong Financial support from partners, roughly 42 billion, thats a lot, but it only includes. Critically needed budget spending, i mean right now
