The Ukrainian Pig Association (UPA) is concerned about false information and manipulation of data around the situation with the registration of the African swine fever (ASF) vaccine candidate in the country, as such actions damage the reputation of the industry and pursue the lobbying of financial interests of individual stakeholders, the association said in a statement.
“Recognizing the importance of the vaccine as one of the tools for controlling ASF, the ASU enterprises do not see the possibility of compromise on the issue of safety (…) The candidate vaccine against ASF produced in Vietnam (AVAC Vietnam Joint Stock Corporation), which is being sought to be registered in Ukraine, does not have a confirmed status of a safe product today, which carries potential risks of worsening the epizootic situation in the country,” the statement posted on the ASU website reads.
As arguments, the association cites the warnings of the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) about the risks associated with the use of vaccines with unconfirmed safety and efficacy status. According to the WOAH, none of the candidates currently have a vaccine status because they have not passed the verification process.
In addition, the US Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced the removal of the ASFV-G-ΔMGF strain (used to create the AVACASFLive vaccine) and ASFV-G-Δ9GL/ΔMGF from the list of microorganisms allowed to be imported into the United States, as APHIS analyzed new information on safety and genomic instability that could lead to a recovery of virulence and determined that these strains could pose a serious threat to animal health and animal product safety.
The Evaluation of African swine fever vaccine candidate ASFV-G-∆MGF in reversion to virulence study also confirmed that the ASFV-G-∆MGF vaccine virus used to create the AVACASFLive vaccine regains virulence (ability to infect).
The study Challenges in the Application of African Swine Fever Vaccines in Asia indicates that the ASFV-GUS-Vietnam strain, identical to ASFV-G-ΔMGF (used to create the vaccine), plays a role in the ASFV epidemic situation in Vietnam. It was discovered in 2021, before the vaccine was registered in Vietnam. This proves that the illegal use of inappropriate vaccines can not only contribute to the spread of the disease, but also promote the emergence of new variants in regions in addition to the risk of recombination between different ASF genotypes.
“Today, the issue of registering an ASF vaccine candidate in Ukraine is not limited to the risks of an individual enterprise that decides to use a product whose safety has not been proven. We are talking about the consequences for the epizootic situation in the country and neighboring countries, the impact on foreign trade in pig products, and Ukraine’s integration into the EU,” the USBA emphasized and called for not supporting the initiative to register a Vietnamese-made vaccine given the risks and lack of evidence of its safety and quality.

In January-September 2024, Ukrainian ports increased cargo transshipment by 1.8 times to 74 million tons, the state-owned Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority (USPA) reported.
“According to the operational data of USPA, from January to September 2024, Ukrainian seaports handled 74 million tons of cargo. This is a significant increase compared to the same period last year, when the volume amounted to 41.1 million tons,” the USPA said in a Facebook post on Thursday.
It is indicated that a significant part of the cargo turnover – 46.3 million tons – is agricultural products. This emphasizes its importance for the national economy and exports, the USPA said. In September, the volume of cargo handled in ports increased to 7 million tons, which is twice as much as in September 2023, when 3.4 million tons were handled, the USPA said. Of this volume, 4.1 million tons were agricultural products supplied to international markets.
Earlier it was reported that the cargo turnover of Ukrainian ports in August this year also amounted to 7 million tons. The leaders of cargo turnover are grain and ore cargo – 4 million tons and 1.2 million tons, respectively. At the same time, cargo turnover through the Ukrainian sea corridor in August amounted to 5.9 million tons, of which 3.6 million tons were products of Ukrainian farmers.
In total, in January-August 2024, Ukrainian ports handled almost 67 million tons of cargo, compared to 37.7 million tons in the same period a year earlier.
The new French government wants to reduce the budget gap by 60 billion euros in 2025 and is preparing a temporary tax increase.
The new French government has announced a decision to raise taxes starting in 2025. The Minister of Finance Antoine Armand said this on RTL radio.
The draft budget for 2025 with specific proposals is to be released on October 10.
The goal of the French authorities is to reduce the budget deficit by 60 billion euros. This is partly planned to be done by cutting spending (by €40 billion) and partly by increasing budget revenues.
“As soon as we manage to cut spending significantly, we will need exceptional and temporary help from those with very high incomes,” Arman said. He assured that people with low and middle incomes will be exempt from the additional fiscal burden: “The income tax rates for those who go to work every day will not change.”
His government colleague, Laurent Saint-Martin, Minister of Budget and Financial Accounts, said on France 2 on Thursday that only 0.3% of the population will feel the tax increase – the richest households in France, those without children and earning an annual income of 500,000 euros.
The tax increase will also affect the largest companies.
Earlier this week, French Prime Minister Michel Barnier warned that the current financial situation in the country is a sword of Damocles hanging over every French citizen. “We need to act now to ensure a stable financial future for our country. Our debts exceed €3.2 trillion, and this is a situation we cannot ignore,” he said.
In September 2024, for the first time since the global financial crisis, the yield on French government bonds exceeded that of Spanish securities. The reason is that the budget deficit in France is too high.
Last year, it was 5.5% against the planned 4.9%, and this year it may reach 6%, which is much higher than the European Union’s limit of 3%. At best, France will be able to return to the target no earlier than the end of this decade.

Globus Bank has issued 55 loans totaling UAH 42 million in more than two months since the start of its preferential energy lending programs, said Dmitry Zamotayev, director of the retail business department at Globus Bank.
He specified that 26 loans were issued to private households for UAH 10 million, 13 loans for UAH 14 million were granted to small and medium-sized businesses, and 16 loans for UAH 18 million were financed by condominiums participating in the Energodom and Grindim programs from the Energy Efficiency Fund, including condominiums and housing cooperatives under the state program Affordable Loans 5-7-9. The bank has issued energy loans in 16 cities of Ukraine, and is currently processing a total of 27 more applications for energy loans.
According to him, this result can be considered quite acceptable, and the growing demand for energy loans may eventually be transformed into liberalization of credit conditions.
“So far, we have seen a rapid growth in demand for such loans from households – in October, the bank plans to triple its loan portfolio under energy loan programs,” Zamotayev emphasized.
The expert pointed out that the main reasons for loan denials are borrowers’ failure to comply with the terms of participation in the programs. For example, for individuals, it is a high total monthly family income for six months that exceeds the amount of UAH 189 thousand provided for in the program, or the total area of the house exceeds 250 square meters. For condominiums and housing cooperatives, loan denials are extremely rare, as only those organizations that have no debts or have insignificant debts to utility companies can apply.
Globus Bank was registered in 2007. According to the NBU, as of April 11, 2023, the bank’s shareholders were Elena Silnyagina (100%), Dmitry Polkovsky (16.198866%), Yevgeny Varyagin (9.899307%), Sergey Mamedov (9.899307%), Andrey Pinchuk (9.899307%) and Taras Lesovoy (3.599748%), who indirectly own the authorized capital.
According to the National Bank of Ukraine, as of May 1, 2024, Globus was ranked 26th (UAH 9.4 billion) among 60 banks operating in the country in terms of total assets. As of April 2024. The regional network includes 31 branches
