every week, the saturday political club helps to understand the processes taking place in ukraine and the world. vitaly portnikov, khrystyna yatskiv and invited experts based on facts give their assessment and forecast of the development of events. if you want to understand how our today will affect our tomorrow, watch the saturday politics club, every saturday on espresso. information day of espresso tv channel. well, there are extremely many events, extremely strange, false signals from putin. so, now let's quote the russian dictator. he assures that the russian army is not intends to capture kharkiv, i quote: literally , there are no dictator plans to capture kharkiv in russia today. putin also noted that russia needs to understand who it can deal with.

analysis of the situation of ukraine and who to trust. in general, there is a basis, according to the russian dictator, for the negotiation process, these are the istanbul agreements. these are very, very, very difficult signals, yes, and we understand that there are ongoing messages from certain western elites regarding the prospects for change. all key participants in the process, as in western capitals, starting. the british, ending with the united states, and in ukraine, do not see any real, real basis for these or other negotiations, but putin is once again giving these or other signals and considering, for some reason, the istanbul agreements, which were rejected by the russian federation itself, as some kind of basis for negotiation process, but as military experts say, everything is being decided now on the ground, on the battlefield. well , here, by the way, it is important to note on this topic that hungary promised a resolution of the council of europe. regarding

the ukrainian peace formula, the head of the ministry of foreign affairs said this hungary's peter szijjártó reported, and budapest explained it by the fact that it allegedly did not take into account the position of the russian federation, this was the actual statement from the head of the hungarian ministry of foreign affairs, well, we will have the opportunity to talk about it later in a little more detail, and now we will attach to our ater oksana pogomiy, deputy of the kherson city council, ms. oksana, we congratulate you, glory to ukraine, we understand that now the main attention is focused on the events not only in donetsk region, but also in kharkiv region, but we understand that the fighting continues on the left bank of the kherson region and shelling continues, first of all, would you please share the operational situation in kherson and the kherson region? well, now the shelling has intensified, despite the fact that we are now being bombarded with aerial bombs, we have had this for the entire time since we were liberated. literally a couple of times, and in

the last week it happened two days in a row, and the worst thing for us is that they hit exactly where civilians live, the last shelling landed three cabs and 19 wounded, three are still in the hospital, there is a heavy burden injuries, others were given help, but most of all, of course, people were scared, especially children, then... because the whole city can hear when the cabs arrive, our city is small, well, yes, mrs. oxano, what can be heard from the left bank, the bridgehead near i wonder what our soldiers are saying, what is the situation there, those with whom i communicate, every day at our headquarters, they come to us for bread, for volunteer work, i am probably lucky, but they are not. dofiles and not all

propalshiks, and they, despite the fact that they are very tired, it can be seen on their faces, but they are fighting, and i can't say more, because i was warned not to tell anything, and they warned gumynyuk, she 's gone now, but still, i guess you can't say much, it's really hard, even what we hear there , where ours have advanced, and how they are resisting, and how they ... are trying to prevent rusna from going further, but simply without the armed forces, we would probably be under the enemy again here, i think so. look, ms. oksano, at the enemy's attempts to cross the dnipro and land certain subversive and reconnaissance groups on your on the shores of the kherson region, what to hear about that? they are there, ours calculate them somehow, maybe they don't calculate someone. but

of course there are subversive groups, well, they probably have them just like ours there, i just hope for that, we can only hear automatic or machine gun rounds in the evening, because... i live close to the banks of the dnieper, but so that something in the city, as they say, some kind of sabotage was carried out, thank god there is none yet, and what the enemy is doing on the left bank now in general, yes, there are now certain signals that they may be preparing to something more grandiose, because we are being prepared for the fact that the enemy will have the resources to launch a major offensive, and this offensive may be along the entire front line. is there any talk about it now and is there talk about when it might happen? about when it will happen, i think it can be at any moment, i will tell you that they are preparing like this, i probably can’t say more, because

our people say it is from the left bank, but yes, the enemy is preparing, and the boats are bringing reinforcements , and there are a lot of them, all over all widows. along the canal krymskyi, in the pgt, in large villages, everything is close to the roads, but i still really hope that despite the fact that we have fortifications, well, such a thing, ms. oksano, clarify, be kind, because you know, after kharkiv already wants to have some more detailed information, i can say this, for example, what... for example, what we see, we are not specialists, yes, but these are just dug trenches, they are not, they are not strengthened, they are simply dug up, and some have a floor, these are pallets, wooden, everything, somewhere

covered with nets, somewhere not covered with nets, there are practically no such ones, at least we have not seen them, there are no such ones that could be rolled up in two or three, so that maybe they could. to hide if they are going to fire artillery there, that is, it is beautiful, of course it looks, it looks especially beautiful near the bank of the dnieper, hedgehogs, yes, hedgehogs are meant, and what about concrete, what about concrete, in general, there are concrete factories in kherson oblast, or there maybe concrete mixers are driving, pouring something, no, there is no biton at all, all that is there is simply the slabs that were stretched around the city somewhere, even we had one road, laid out slabs before the invasion, excuse me, those slabs were dismantled, those slabs are anti-tank, they are like

dragon's teeth, they are densely placed, but there between kherson and mykolaiv'. area , the dragon's teeth are tightly placed right next to the trench, and the trench is not anti-tank, that is, it is human, and the specialists, those who are fortification specialists, personally told me that this is wrong, because if the trench is a person, but a tank can't get so close, it just shoots people, like dragon's teeth should stand 600-800 m from the people's trench, well , there where the people should sit the shooters. i believe that this is all a simulation of violent activity, just like in kharkiv, it is very sad, and the only thing that is comforting is that we have such a fortification natural structure, the dnieper, and the dnieper, but you know, it is along kherson, but then we have the dnipro waters are coming, there are many

islands, and everything will depend on how well ours can hold these islands, because we would really not like them to hit us with mortars again, they are going to hit us with everything they can. it is possible, but mortars are no longer used, because this it was scary when you walk, well, no alarm will work right away, only you will hear the whistle and you can understand that you are lucky now, and someone is unlucky, so i have a question for you, you mentioned that it is visible that the enemy is preparing for something, that they are overturning the boats, or are people now somehow trying, i don't know, to prepare for something over there, or are people starting to leave, from where? in fact, are the people who, for example, on the left bank, who are currently under temporary occupation, realizing that the enemy is going wild, also try to go somewhere, well, actually, the people who are currently on the right bank, in the de-occupied territory, or are people there now also in a slightly anxious state against the background of these events, you know, the situation is anxious, but

people are returning, and they are returning, probably more because of that, more because of the fact that there is no support from the state, at least. before it was some kind of money for idps, let it be 2 thousand per person, per adult, 3 per child, but with this money the family could rent an apartment, now many people return precisely because they... simply have money to live outside the region, but return there are also those from the left bank and those who still expect a breakthrough and want to be closer to home, well, it is coming back, very active people are coming back from the left bank, they come to the volunteer centers, they ask how to help, they help, and the number of people and children has increased in our city, which is worrying, well, because there are various rumors, especially if someone, like

oksana pogomiy, has disappeared in the most interesting place, let's hope that the deputy of the kherson city council will return to us soon, oh ms. oksana has returned to us, continue, ma'am oksano, and especially those who read kotsap resources and the situation is really heating up there, but still, i say again. that we have a natural fortification structure and this is a natural fortification structure, let's talk a little about a kind of cognitive hydrology, hydrology, so what is the dnieper, that is, how wide is it there, how deep is it and in general, is it accessible to so the so-called forcing, and the second moment is the smooth ones you mentioned a few minutes ago, extremely an important story, that is, what is between those... small islands, we understand that there is a muddy bottom, there are some, i don't know, shuvars and

so on and so on, but, but i promise you, but there, well, there are a lot of reeds, i forgot the ukrainian word for reeds, sedges, yes, there are a lot of them, but there are streams that are very passable for boats, these are the dnieper rivers, it was generally a place where we really liked to go boating. there by kayaks, it was very touristic, now, i think, now russian, when we were under occupation, when they left, they mined a lot there, and there are a lot of mines that are located precisely in the water, so i think that now it is also for them, they definitely did not make a map of what they mined, now it will also be a problem for them, but after all, the battles are going on. islands, and i would very much like our general staff not to announce

that ours have already taken the island, because the situation changes several times a day and this kind of dissemination of information that ours have taken something there, ours have established themselves there or something else is very disturbing to the military , well it's hard, it's hard, and well, but our guys, thank you, oksana pogomi, deputy. the kherson city council was on our airwaves, we thank her for joining us, we will now go on a short break, but by the way, i want to remind you that you can see all the important statements on our airwaves already in narizki, on our youtube channel , in the video section go and watch, also on our youtube channel you can see our special projects and programs, so subscribe if you haven't done it yet, there are already more than 2 million of us there, and we will we are grateful if... join our youtube community and be on the same wavelength with us and information and actually those videos that you

we will talk about the situation with ours food yes, now we are observing a certain silence of the polish farmers, whether it will last for a long time we don't know, yes, but at least for now the situation at the border looks like it has been resolved at least a little, but there are certain problems, yes, which should be discussed in order to our government responded to them. we will now add dmytro oleksienko, vice president of the world business organization icc ukraine, to our team. mr. dmytro, we congratulate you. good day. the state secretary of the united states arrived in kyiv the other day antoni blinken, yes, he mentioned the word corruption more than once, he met with representatives of anti-corruption circles, and in general, when we talk about food and grain, we wanted to ask you what is being done in that area, so to speak, we understand that grain is not only about bread,

but also about, i don't know, tens of thousands of tons that have to get from point a to point b, and there is a queue... an electronic queue, i don't know, quotas for certain companies and so on , well, they wanted to ask if everything is good, clean and transparent in this direction, it is very good that you mentioned the polish farmers, why are they, why are they striking and blocking the borders, because the grain, our, our food, our grain, it is very cheap compared to the same polish, and romanian and... and so on, so , why this happens, because in 40% of cases, ukrainian grain is exported illegally without paying any taxes. and about this, zaeconomist recently wrote about this, and it was calculated that over the past two years, the losses of ukraine, as a result of non

-return of foreign exchange earnings and non-payment of taxes, amount to approximately 3 billion dollars in two years, that is, well, this is a colossal amount, and this is such an international tax evasion, however, other... other economists, other journalists, investigators, say that in this scheme, not only ukrainians are involved, not only ukrainian fictitious companies, as well as the european fictitious companies to which this grain goes, mr. dmytro, look, in your opinion, what steps should we, as the state and our government, take, in particular, in order to combat this black export from ... on and actually fight this tax evasion, which is possible we should apply mechanisms to at least minimize it. what did the state do

after this, well, another exposure, they accepted two for two bills as the basis so far in the first reading, which are aimed at, well, to whiten the market, let's say so, but... but these bills, according to the opinion of the same american trade chamber, the european business association, a number of agrarian associations, our association, they are not only not designed to regulate, solve the problem, but also to increase the corruption pressure on white business, which will be exported, i.e. it is proposed that only taxpayers of... value should export, and the tax authority can block tax invoices, which, well, that is , become another barrier on the way of exporters,

but white exporters, not gray, black, and so on . it is clear that such a large-scale, large-scale scheme is impossible without the involvement of the same tax customs, the bureau of economic security, which are actually in charge of this, the customs officers miss it, the tax office does not notice. the fact that the companies are fictitious and not, well, does nothing with non-return of foreign exchange revenue, well , the economic security bureau should expose these crimes, therefore, in my opinion, it is necessary to reform, first of all, these bodies, make them politically independent, announce contests for the post of chairpersons and so on, well, that is, it is corruption at the state level and ... this should be approached in a large-scale and systematic way, and look, taking into account the fact that we are approaching the accession or, i don't know, deep integration with the european union,

perhaps our european friends could offer one or another of their proposals for that this whole thing somehow, i don't know, quell, of course, cooperation with european law enforcement officers, first of all it should be cleaned up, and... if we join, well, customs barriers to the european union will disappear, and the problem should be settled there in this way, but first of all before that, well, no one will take us anywhere if we have 40% of our export revenue disappearing somewhere there, look, but there at one time we were told that trucks would be chipped or to put one or the other, i don't know. radio beacons or accompanied by those or other polish or some other police cars will be accompanied by caravans, this thing is somehow starting

to work, or is it just words? well , for now, according to her, the verkhovna rada had already adopted a law that could have prevented, that is, exporters could have paid part of the vat for... 14 at a rate of 14% and adjusted after the return of the foreign exchange revenue, but the cabinet of ministers had to adopt a resolution under this law, so that it would work, and it was never adopted, ah, economic truth did its own investigation, why it was done, there they pointed to mr. hetmantsov, who said that this is a corruption law, although, well, it is very strange, as well as considering the fact that he is the author of this law. and that's why it can't work, that is, our government is actually sabotaging this issue, and all these chips and so on, it

didn't work for nothing, because... well, the sabotage is at the level, at the level of our state, and why do you think the state is now sabotaging this issue? well, you see, a large-scale corruption scheme, it is billions of dollars in revenue, why does the state, and you started with antony blinken, who corruption, well, on that note, and in principle , we have come to this, why does the state care, see, and if there is also a question, if so... but you can not name the surnames, but we are interested in these ot or otsi ot mega-surnames of those influential people , who so to speak coordinate or accompany this grain scheme, whether they are known to our american or european friends and partners, whether they are known by their surnames, for example at the level of our cabinet, well, at the level of our cabinet, you know, in our i have already named three organs, these are the organs you named

so-so, but it's interesting here. in general, they are managed, everyone knows, they are managed by the head of the tax committee danylo gitmens, thank you, what can be called, thank you, mr. dmytro, dmytro oleksiyenko, vice president of the world business organization icc ukraine, was in our group, we talked about the difficult situation with the black, let's say, grain market, actually partly because of that, polish. the farmers protested, and as we can see, at least according to dmytro oleksienko, the state is not trying to resolve this issue in any way now, forgive me for this wording, well, there is something, let's do one last thing, while we still have a few minutes, before we go to the news, we will inform you about the main things that you need to know, from tomorrow the bill on strengthening mobilization already comes into force , and the ministry of defense explained how men can... credentials

online, so there will be such an application in a mobile phone, which will be called reserve plus for conscripts and reservists, and actually those who have smartphones will be able to download this application or through the app store or through the google play market, and in this application it is possible to quickly update the data and have access to information from the oberig registry, it is also possible to update the data offline in the territorial ones. fulfillment centers or centers for the provision of administrative services operating throughout ukraine. by the way, yesterday i saw information that not all tsnaps know how to work this algorithm correctly, so i think that there are possible hiccups, and this should be understood if you update the data through the tsk, in addition to the extract from the register itself, you will also receive a corresponding mark in the military ticket, but actually, if you do it online through the application, then the application itself should also

have... a qr code that can actually be scanned all authorized persons and immediately see information about you in this application itself. thank you marta, extremely important news, and no less, perhaps even more important news from the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, colonel-general oleksandr syrskyi. so, i quote: now commander-in-chief, the russians expanded the zone of active hostilities by almost 70 km. syrsky worked for several days. in the kharkiv region, and the enemy's actions in this way testify to the fact that he tried to withdraw our reserve units, in particular, certain reserve brigades from the armed forces of ukraine, so that they could be transferred to the kharkiv region, and so on, this is all understandable, and ahead, as sirskyi emphasized, we have tough battles waiting for us, and the russians are actively preparing for it, but the defense forces will keep busy. her

position to prevent the russian advance. it is a difficult situation, but we will learn more news in just a few moments, we will pass the floor to our colleague anya eva melnyk. anya, we congratulate you, pass the floor and ask you to tell us briefly what you managed to find out about. greetings, colleagues, thank you for your work, the news editorial team continues to work in this edition of the most important story, in particular, how the evacuation is taking place in the kharkiv region, how many people have already been evacuated. and about personnel changes in the ministry of defense. be with us.
