I would like to remind you that the discount rate affects the cost of loans for the ukrainian economy, the green light for grain and not only the parliament of bulgaria supported the lifting of the ban on agricultural imports from ukraine after september 15. Did not discuss, but later admitted that there is an economic logic in this, since the permission to import will not have serious consequences for the bulgarian economy.

Take emergency aid from european countries, the head of the company, volodymyr kudrytskyi, informed about this, for september and october, they do not expect a deficit in kilowatts , there is enough current for everyone, but the situation depends on enemy attacks on the energy infrastructure, added kudrytskyi, and last winters experience allows ukraine to prepare carefully for various scenarios of investments in energy in agriculture and the processing industry, as well as war risk insurance, all this will contribute to the economic recovery of ukraine. On the part of the government, the goal is to unblock the current flow of private Capital Investments, they are necessary for the support of the state, and here is the insurance of these investments plays an important role, let me remind you that last year, Capital Investments in ukraine collapsed by as much as 40 , according to the state statistics, under the Housing Program , Mortgage Loans for almost uah 4. 5 billion were issued. This was reported to the ministry of economy , in general, 74 of preferential Housing Loans were given to military personnel, 13 were given to teachers and scientists and doctors 10 .

She has been Drinking Water from Healing Springs for years, this year she came not only to heal her stomach, but also to rest from the frequent air alarms and explosions in the capital, the psyche in kyiv is already failing and thats why we decided to stay at least for a week to come to rest and get better, the main reason is to take a break from worries, take a moral rest and not live in this stress in which we live. Lyudmila did not stay in a hotel, but in a private house where she rents a room. The tourist says that the prices for both accommodation and food in kurortny morshyn are affordable the room costs uah 250 for two people without food, without anything, a shower in the room. Well , the kettle is a very nice patron, i think it is even too low, it is adequate , it is affordable. Adequate and very affordable. And this is nina ivanovna, a pensioner and a tourist from nikopol, who is in the dnipropetrovsk region. She wanted to rest in morshyn for at least a month, but in two weeks her husband has to return to work. Army, he still works at our factory at one of the pipe companies, on vacation for only 14 days, we, as a couple , settled in a hotel, unlike private estates, here a day costs uah 1,200, and the price already includes breakfast for two people, a doctors consultation and access to a pumping station with water intake, says the administrator of the institution andriy, we did not increase prices, on the contrary, when the wars started, prices were reduced during the period when we reduced prices. Left who wants to think . He can settle in the private sector. There are also boarding houses in morshyn, but food is not provided in them. Here you can take a room equipped with everything you need.

However, administrators of both boarding houses and hotels warn to book rooms it is necessary in advance, because over the past two years, such a Tourist Destination as morshin has become much more popular, and it is very important that morshin has recently received the status of a national resort. But for vasyl , Great Britain will no longer be popular for muscovites, because it forbade russians to make transit transfers at its airports without of a valid british visa, the corresponding decision was published on the website of the government of the united kingdom, the new rules will come into force from october 6 until this date, visafree transit will be saved only for those muscovites who managed to buy tickets before september 8, well, with the exception of holders of visas or residence permits in australia and canada, new zealand and the United States, the world is getting smaller and smaller for muscovites, and this time, and it is also getting smaller, in particular, due to sanctions vasyl and i want to say that today good news came from the United States of america against 150 Russian Companies that help russia circumvent sanctions that have already been imposed , in particular, also sanctions concerning such companies as avtovaz in moscow or there and what else there is something there mash well in one word eh read they continue to beat on this painful point of the russian economy well and this is where we will finish talking about money during the war but the Big Broadcast continues, there will be more in the future watch we have a lot of interesting things ahead of us, but first of all i will give the floor to Serhiy Rudenko , he will talk about what we will talk about in the verdict program, which starts at 20 00 serhii, please say good evening to vasyl, today we will talk about cotton in crimea has begun something that everyone has been waiting for a long time, this is the deoccupation of the crimean peninsula, and in principle it is important for us to understand how it will all happen, everything that we observe , everything that we know about during the last few months, it shows that it will be hot in crimea very soon, because literally this night near yevpatoria , the triumph air defense complex worth 1 billion 200 Million Dollars was destroyed.
