Did not allow it to continue that war, and now the most important thing is that ukraine does not, lets say, worsen its relations with countries , which economically allow us to go through this entire war, and so that our budget continues to receive this assistance for the period we are looking for, because really, when you have revenues of 1,700 million hryvnias, and expenses of 3 trillion 300 billion, then here. It is very necessary to maintain relations with those who help you pass this story as for economic growth, yes, we forecast 5 , International Institutions say 2 . At the same time, the main thing is that these forecasts are positive, that is, everyone says that despite the fact that there is a war, we will end 2023 with growth, and it is important to save the last 2. 5 months this dynamic, so that we really managed to do it, and so on. Lets see how it will be in 2024, because as they say, everything is in the hands of the armed forces. And there is also an important point, in my opinion, that the government should take into account before the second reading, the increase in planned revenues, by almost uah 10 billion. Here are even examples of how it can be done, in the case of the adoption of a bill on the taxation of banks, as well as additional reductions in construction expenditures, repairs and purchases of property in various authorities. 10 billion hryvnias thanks to these actions, as much as it is possible to increase profitability by this amount, well you know, for 10 billion, it is quite possible, the only thing, as i said, when there is a figure, 1. 7 three revenues and 3. 3 expenses, and trillions, that is, it is a drop in the sea, at the same time, really, i think that now ukraine it is necessary to rewatch it. Those components of the economy where a certain weakening was understood due to the pressure of the war, and where it is possible to return, because we see that , however cynical it may sound, life is returning to a new normality, adaptation has taken place, so it is possible to to see where these taxes can be removed, at the same time not in such a way that it, lets say, stifles those steam growths that have already appeared, that is, here it is very. We need to approach carefully, at the same time, like our partners, they say, ukraine still also needs to understand how to make money on its own under these circumstances, tell me, what can be done as much as possible today to make progress in this new normality for the restoration of the economy, well, as it was at the beginning, at the beginning of the 20th century, it was the construction of roads in the connecting states, but you cant blame it on us now, well, its like an owl on a globe. What bet should be made to the maximum to speed up the process of economic growth, well, look, i understand, first of all about relocating, well, it is already happening and, lets say, to continue it, so that enterprises that cannot work in regions that are close to the front, so that they not only come, but also began to work and give results, and this is easier with the wood business, we can see it in kyiv and lviv, when Many Companies from kharkiv came. And they work and give results, as for larger enterprises, it is more difficult, at the same time here you have to see how they to help, be it with electricity or with other components, that is, you know, here are tax benefits, we just discussed that it is necessary to return little by little to the opposite , more rigid approach, here it is necessary to look at each situation individually, that is, to analyze how much this or that step will contribute development or, on the contrary, will create obstacles, and based on these calculations, take steps, at the same time, well, in principle, as far as im concerned. We see that there will not be, lets say, a deeper, cynical, this is not usual, russias move to territory of ukraine, so it will allow us to better forecast the situation, mr. Ivan, thank you for this express analysis, financial, ivan uz, chief consultant of the National Institute of strategic studies, candidate of economic sciences, just contacted us, we are about money, now we will continue talking, but from a different angle, more than 2. 5 thousand crimes against the environment were committed by the russians during the fullscale invasion, the losses from these actions have already exceeded 50 billion dollars. These are the shocking numbers announced by the minister of environment and Natural Resources protection resources during the International Conference in kyiv. This largescale event gathered dozens of experts, dozens of government officials, representatives of the un, the european union, discussed how to punish the russians for the crime of ecocide, and in practice this is a task with an asterisk, and why it will be so difficult to prove that although crimes against our nature, they are really obvious , here our olena chernyakov knows the answer, she heard the main statements of this conference, tons of destroyed russian equipment on ukrainian soil, mined lands, hundreds of hectares of burned forests due to shelling, this brought the russians are also destroying the ecology and not only of ukraine. Ukraine has a unique ecosystem for europe, now it is. Is being destroyed, and Restoration Works are waiting for several generations. Russia has already committed more than 2,500 crimes against the environment , and ukraine, the eu and International Organizations are now jointly deciding how to punish them. In the working group that i lead, together with andriy yermak, we work on three main areas. We assess the damage caused, look for ways to bring responsibility and think how restore nature. Opposition to akocide is one of the points of the ukrainian peace formula, without the implementation of which a just peace in ukraine is impossible. Damages from ecocide are calculated by the state ecological inspection in order to include them in the International Register of damages in the future. 40 countries supported its creation back in may. A year ago, the amount of environmental damage from hostilities amounted to about 26 billion euros, today, a year later, it is twice as much, that is 55 billion irreparable damage caused by the russians in june, when they blew up the kakhov dam. They couldnt finish us off, so they decided to drown 9,000 people, four regions in the emergency zone, flooded houses, fields, roads, almost 29 fish died, 64 hectares of forests under water, more than 5 billion dollars are needed just for the restored infrastructure. The dam contained more than 18 cubic kilometers and about 70 leaked when our delegation was in nairobi, kenya, when i said about 14 cubic kilometers of water, it caused some shock and misunderstanding among representatives of african countries, because this is the volume of water that two days can be eaten all over the world, but you can eat them here they stole this amount of water with one explosion, hostilities affect the flora, 90 of fires are due to explosions, more than half a million tons of waste from destroyed roshi equipment is in the ground, a third of the country is mined. The earth is littered with heavy metals, tnt and harmful substances deposited after explosions. Russia has been committing environmental crimes since the first day of the invasion, deliberately hitting infrastructure facilities and Water Treatment plants in order to leave the population without drinking water. Negative impact on fauna as well, almost 150 rare newts died, as a result of undermining tiles. Dams, up to nine hundred dolphins died in the seas. The ecosystem that existed for years in the area of the kokhov dam will gradually disappear. We want to make sure that in the future nature will never again be the forgotten victim of war, as it has been historically. A precedent is needed to punish the russians for ecocide, but the International Criminal court has no jurisdiction to investigate this type of crime, it is simply not included in the rome statute. About to fix it. A team of diplomats has been working with the Prosecutor Generals Office for the second year. At the moment, we feel that the discussion is intensifying, regarding the fact that the ecocity may be included in the roman statute. Many of our partners, who before this were very cautious even about the possibility, and whether there is such a crime or not, now the discussion is of a completely different level, because they all saw what level of crimes can be committed. In addition, the first in the world to document crimes against the environment, exactly how the military investigations into the destruction of the dam and its aftermath are being conducted in conjunction with the attorney generals office, they are working on de cases related to war crimes committed against the Natural Environment, this is also a somewhat new area of activity for the International Criminal court, because in previous investigations, the International Criminal court team was not involved in the investigation of crimes against the Natural Environment as war crimes , when there will be future cases before the court, while the secret. Investigation, apart from the International Criminal court, this type of crime can be investigated by foreign bodies that have universal jurisdiction and more than 20 of them cooperate with ukraine, and so far neither suspicions nor sentences for war criminals. Olena chernyakova maksym klopotov. We are ukraine marathon, only news.

American the world needs leadership. I am grateful to both parties of congress who understand this, who support, in particular, the struggle of our people for their independence. And of course our soldiers. Thank you to each and everyone who is currently in combat on the battlefield. Positions at the posts, avdiyiv direction, maryanka, bakhmut direction , kupian, lyman directions, our zaporizhzhia, our kherson region, on the contact line and in the depths of the occupied territory, our soldiers made this week very powerful for ukraine. And now i want to thank all our defense and security forces, absolutely to everyone, every unit, every soldier. To every commander who gave our country the necessary combat results this week. Glory to you war, glory to all our people, i thank everyone in the world who to. Glory to ukraine. I play glory, and now to the situation at the front, the russians again went on the attack on avdiivka. The enemy does not stop trying to surround and destroy the city. Artillery and aviation work there nonstop. Killed civilians cannot be taken out from under the rubble due to heavy shelling. They are also attacking our positions in the limonkupyan direction. For the last one a week, the number of combat clashes there has increased exponentially, and despite this mad rush, our Defense Forces continue to hold their positions. And even advance forward, in particular, we are advancing in the south of bakhmut and in the west of the zaporizhzhia region, in more detail about the operational situation at the front , lyudmila gavryliuk will tell, these houses were intact even before this offensive, the private sector, another destroyed ukrainian city, from avdiyivka almost there is nothing left, where recently there were highrise buildings, schools and shops, there are only ruins, well, it was written here that god loves vagina killed civilians still under the rubble , frontal fire simply cannot reach them, artillery, aviation, tanks and drones work here continuously. We have been here for more than a month, and before that there was such a thing that there was just one tank, two tanks per day, and if there had not been such a movement of large equipment, these days some mass formation of columns and. Bmp , the artillery was pulled up almost, almost forward. After the unsuccessful assaults on avdiivka, the russians regrouped and went on the attack again. The enemy is trying with all his might break through our defenses and surround the city, and our military says they are ready for any scenario. We are always waiting for them, there are constant attempts by them, artillery shelling, airstrikes, this is constantly being done. Assault attempts to reach some of our positions there. They still do. The rashists continue to throw all their forces at the capture of avdiyivka. Even significant losses of equipment and personnel do not stop them. The first wave, well, you can tentatively call it that, it was on october 10, 15, then the enemy took an operational pause, and now for the second day continues, lets say, well conditionally, lets say, the second wave of attack on avdiivtsi. About. The waves are the same, we thinned out his army aviation, these are helicopters, and the guys were quite successful, in 10 days they shot down five su25 attack aircraft, for two weeks the enemy tried to encircle the city, but our air force attacks and constant shelling held their positions , we withstood such an onslaught, in one place, such an attempt of such a very strong onslaught, everything is fine, everyone has fulfilled their task, and they are ready now and will be ready tomorrow, this is our land, and we will be its to defend, we are there, we are in place, we will carry out in any case the orders that are before us and the tasks, and there will be nothing else , uvabank is hostile in the kupinsky direction, in recent weeks, the number of assaults here has increased, they are assaulting systematically, that is, this constancy of efforts, one group is repelled, another approaches, one group is repelled, another approaches, i focus my efforts near sinkivka, ivanivka, novoyehorivka, and makiivka. Now the main attention of the occupiers is focused there. At the institute for the study of war, they say, our Defense Forces continue to exhaust the forces of the russians, even during their assaults. We do not sit idly by, we constantly continue to fire at their artillery systems and destroy their personnel. Our main task now is to grind the enemys offensive potential. And to continue moving forward, despite the pressure of the occupiers, ukrainian troops achieved success in the south of bakhmut. Near. The enemy is constantly trying to counterattack, but without success, at some points we have already crossed the railway line, it was such a difficult moment, the rubicon, yes, which we managed to pass, it is a manmade structure that is easy to defend, difficult to storm, but we coped with this task , but the enemy is learning, say the military, including ours, constantly looking for new tactics of fighting, the number of those tanks is growing daily. And this has now become perhaps the most important, main weapon of the enemy, and they are trying to use less artillery, more use fpv, drones, tamikaze, the enemy is chipping away at every firing position, and in no direction have they seen the enemy fleeing, or the enemy is trying to retreat, there are successes at melitopol. Direction, our guys pushed back the Russian Troops from the position near verbovoi and advanced several kilometers of the Russian Defense lines near robovoi. There were advances in a certain direction where more than a kilometer, the offensive operation continues, we cannot say that the pace is quite high there, but we are slowly biting away at the enemy, liberating meters, kilometers of our, our ukrainian territory. A repulsed landing or storming of the enemy is a great feat of our soldiers, every liberated meter of ukrainian the earth is shed with blood and sweat. As the military say, it is not easy in war, for our relatively calm life they are in the rear. With their lives, ludmila havryliuk, we ukraine, marathon, edyni novonitii. Well , we will talk about this in more detail with serhiy dibrov, he is a senior lieutenant, head of the Public Relations service of the 21st separate mechanized brigade. Mr. Serhiy, we congratulate you. Our congratulations. Good morning. So, for starters, i want to know, we want to know the operational situation in the lymankupyan direction. I can. To tell about the situation in the sector of our brigades responsibility, defensive actions on our part continue, we carry out combat tasks, the enemy continues to prevent us from living peacefully, continues to look for weak points, continues shelling, continues to try to influence us in such a way as to find, find a place, maybe for some more powerful offensive in our direction, please tell me , in the sector of responsibility of your brigade, has the enemy changed the same way . Instead of mechanized groups, now small groups are trying to attack or not . Yes, already, well, i cant say its a change, a change in tactics, its exactly the same tactics hes been following for several weeks, that is, shelling , mortars, mostly grenades, small arms fire, use of drones, use of reconnaissance drones, if the weather allows, and an attempt to storm our positions from the possibility of using drones, or the emphasis is placed on shelling, or, or the emphasis is placed on attempted assault actions. Uhu, but is there an understanding of how Many Russians are currently concentrated in your area . Area of responsibility in your sector, because well, for example, if we take the lymankupin direction as a whole, then compared to the summer, for example, when the group had about 1,000 people there, now, do you see a decline . Their presence . Intelligence says that the number has not changed significantly, maybe the number of enemies in our direction has decreased a little , but everything is the same, the number of units of Armored Vehicles is estimated at a thousand, in total, 600700 tanks, intelligence says that there are also Armored Vehicles, they have become less, because we worked in this direction against enemy Armored Vehicles. As for the personnel, well, of course, the advanced positions are filled, of course, there is always an enemy at firing positions, at strongpoints, observation points, that is , we do not see any significant, significant change in the situation, an increase in the cardinal or a decrease in the cardinal in our direction, but who represents this personnel, these are regulars, these are contract workers, kadyrivtsi, or who are there, akhmativtsi pmk yes, their terrorists, stormzt. Judging by their tactics actions, this is the main source of information for us, we see that the regular russian army is fighting against us, fighting according to its own, maybe even new instructions, in accordance with the realities of ukraine, the ukrainian front, that is, these are small groups, there are no more attempts, we are not observed attempts of such meat assaults in the style of wagner, this, i apologize, this is the implementation of aerial reconnaissance , this is the adjustment of targets, this is directed, this is on the interaction between infantry units, lets assume there mortars, that is, according to everything, we are dealing with regularly russian the army, which is commanded by russian officers, personnel officers, so you said to the armored groups, i would still like to understand how the enemys aviation operates in your direction, the enemys aviation became more active in our country in october, and unfortunately, not only the aviation, we see that on our sector received special attention and in the village of graza this is an echo or an increase in attention, that is, the enemy paid attention to the need to destroy any targets that are similar to non military, even superficially, they also consider such a similar nonmilitary target, aviation works as well previously, i. E. Adjusted aerial bombs, airstrikes on positions, they do not dare to enter the depths of our territory, launch what explodes, launch into their territory, and Unmanned Aircraft work just like that. Mr. Sergey, speaking of the officers, yes, who are supposed to lead the enemy groups, do you record the presence. Officers, well, at the level of, i dont know , colonellieutenant colonel and so on, exactly on the first line, well, this usually indicates that there is a shortage, leaders, do you record this too, did you have to liquidate or taking prisoners, there is no such information, we do not have data on the dead, wounded , captured by us, highranking officers from that side are missing, there is no such information, that is, so far everything is as usual, only soldiers are on duty, sometimes sergeants and officers in the second line, that is, we are again seeing a normal , traditional situation from that side, and there was also information that russia could transfer, could transfer equipment from lughansk to the kumpin direction, whether it is really so and what amount of equipment we are talking about, it is difficult to say because we do not often now, not often our antitankers, our tankers meet the enemys Armored Vehicles, they tried earlier, tried to maneuver, attack very intensively and with quite large units of their own, large units to attack our positions, now this activity is less, they nevertheless, they do not dare to approach the zone of action of our antitank weapons. Therefore, it is difficult to say now, the intelligence is doing this, where are their tanks now in our direction, it is possible that they have been transferred to a more threatening direction or a more important one for them in our sector, or maybe i will transfer it somewhere, thank you, mr. Sergey, thank you, sergey dibrov, this is the senior lieutenant, the head of the Public Relations service of the 21st separate mechanized brigade, well, further along the course we have news, just a few minutes olga hrytsyk , is ready to tell you something new. Chevorons approaching victory, russia continues to commit the most brutal crime against ukraine. The war continues on the sports front as well. At every competition, ukrainian athletes express their position. Not to shake hands with a russian athlete raise a poster no, war in ukraine, this is our cry, an appeal to the Sports Community. Yes, we risk disqualification and our careers, but this is nothing compared to the pain and the price ukrainians pay every day. The most important thing for us is the victory of ukraine and. Saving lives while russian and belarusian athletes increase the propaganda of a bloody war with their participation in competitions, ukrainian athletes die on the battlefield, or, returning home with victories, see destroyed houses and destinies. I call on the Sports Community to act and not allow terrorist athletes to international sports. Its been a long time, time to act. Silence kills. Who are you, a warrior, a gypsy, i was happy that i was taken and i will defend my people , i was a jew and a syrian, i am a gypsy at home, you dream, you understand what i was afraid of for the most part, at the moment, it is, exactly the main thing is that he stayed alive, when he was healthy, when he fought, he was needed, now nobody cares. No need , im not the only one like that, i understand that this is how i am rich, this is how the war made me, today at 10 15 p. M. , the only news is in the marathon, i am russian warship, i propose to lay down the weapons and for, warship. If we go to ukraine and still have a glorious language, the whites will have a terrible fate, our witches will die. All the money
