By the end of this year alone, we will need an additional 250 billion uah for monetary support, and these costs are growing every day. And while citizens collect to donate and the state lives and fights at the expense of the money of international partners, tax evasion schemes are flourishing in ukraine , kantar Company Analysts calculated the illegal market of Tobacco Products this year alone, the state budget was robbed of over uah 21 billion, sales on the illegal gray market they consist of two parts, this sales are nevertheless in legal stalls in legal stores, but part of the product is illegal and it makes its way without a Cash Register without the fact that the tax office will see this turnover, the second direction is completely illegal trade in black spots or via the internet, illegal sale of cigarettes means that compulsory excise taxes, instead of filling the state budget, sink into students pockets, producers of illegal cigarettes feel too free, their products are sold all over the country and on online sites and in classic stores, we are in zaporizhzhia, near the frontline region, which is in unison with the whole country fighting for victory, in the first store we see cigarettes of the same mustang brand for uah 47 per pack good afternoon and please tell me here you have these cigarettes here, they are all on sale , so its clear, no, here 50 51 47 can you pay with your card after buying cigarettes . You bought these cigarettes and they are very cheap, tell me where they are from, because they cant also here further, quite often illegal cigarettes cost so much, uah 47 per pack, these and other cigarettes that fall under the socalled promotion are openly advertised and then sold cheaper than the minimum amount of taxes that must be paid in 2023, it is uah 59 per pack, in any case, they cannot cost, corruption is ready, cheaper than the taxes that must be paid from each pack, plus there is logistics, there is the cost of the tobacco itself, the electricity of production, and so on then we all see that the average price of a pack of cigarettes starts there from uah 80 and above, so the price is uah 47 regardless of the socalled promotional cigarettes that we saw in zaporizhzhia jm mustang dandy according to the register of intellectual Rights Properties are registered under the Company Ukrainian tobacco production, its products can be found in many cities of ukraine. The Kyiv Scientific Research institute of forensic examinations conducted a study of the excise stamps of this manufacturer and came to the conclusion that packs of jm cigarettes were sold with fake excise stamps of excise tax stamps on Tobacco Products that were pasted on packs of cigarettes match the samples in terms of shape and content , but differ from similar original samples in terms of the design of individual elements of the protective net due to the absence of in the city, the placement of numbers, markings, numbers, embossed relief, typical for markings applied by letterpress printing, the color and intensity of flowering, ukrainian tobacco production, is the product probably sold without excise taxes or with fake stamps, registered in the village of goshcha in the rivne region, according to yukontrol, its manager is such a wise ihor bogdanovych, we are calling i am knocking him to find out whether his Company SellsTobacco Products illegally. The company, well, there is no company, i am the manager here, this is the journalists of the espresso tv channel, they are bothering you, our film crew was recently on a business trip in the city of zaporizhzhia and saw cigarettes for sale there for uah 47, which is lower than the excise stamp. How is this possible, why are your papyrus sold so cheap . Thank you for calling. I cant comment for sure, i havent seen it. Im sorry. And while the manufacturers pretend that they dont know about the illegal sale of Tobacco Products, the state in wartime does not comply with billions of taxes, so it is forced to look for money in international partners, experts insist that funds of dubious origin do not settle in shadow pockets, but work for the state and ensure our future victory over schemes for the illegal sale of tobacco, in the end , Law Enforcement and tax authorities should pay attention, dear friends, here we are already her veteria this means that we will continue our marathon, we continue talk to our guests and you continue to give us several thousand hryvnias on our account, and in total there are now 962,000,184 hryvnias, 73 kopecks, and more in the morning we had 937,000 with a tail, so 25,000 more was added, but this is not the limit , we continue to add donations because we need to collect a total of 1 million 760,000 uah in the lower left corner there is a qr code to which you transfer funds well, i present our next dear lyudmila denisova, human rights defender, head of the Ukrainian Center for the protection of human rights, contact us , ms.

We cooperated very much, especially mr. A kitten with the institution of the authorized person, any question was asked, any answer was received , those relatives who applied for the patent were satisfied that, after all, communication took place with the exchange of information , but then for some reason the cabinet of ministers of ukraine which, as we were told at home, on august 10, gathered under the chairmanship of the Prime Minister shmigel, even decided at the meeting that now these functions , such as the search for missing persons, will be the responsibility of the ministry of internal affairs, and the return of the whole, it will be the responsibility of the eee gourmet.

Kotenka resigned and placed a bet was accepted yesterday by the cabinet of ministers of ukraine and he was dismissed from his post on september 29, and the cabinet of ministers resolution, which removes almost all the powers of the authorized person, comes into force on september 30, and here the main thing is that you will hear that of this resolution, the cabinet of ministers only instructs once again to make changes to the law , which is the main thing and defines the legal basis of the activities of the commissioner for missing persons under special circumstances, something is wrong how is your professional growth happening .
