i hope for your help, and of course, i am mostly addressing the residents of the territories of the donetsk region that are not controlled by ukraine. i know that ukrainian tv channels are not broadcasting in your country right now, but maybe you are watching this program on social networks, so please look carefully at the faces of the children. ksenia zelena looks about 15 years old, she has dark hair, and the girl was last seen in donetsk. dmytro gorbunov, he was relatively recently... he was 17, but the guy looks maybe a little older than his age, he has light blond hair and gray-blue eyes, dmytro was last seen in donetsk region in the volnovatsky district in the village of krasna polyana, and this is anastasia pokhylyuk. the girl turned 16 on september 23, she is thin, has light blond hair and looks her age. official information about nastya's disappearance came last summer. year, but it is quite

possible that the connection with her was broken much earlier, and this is not surprising, because the child disappeared in the bakhmut district, where the situation has been too tense for a long time. if suddenly someone has information about a possible place stay of ksenia, dmytro or nastya, or maybe you just saw these children somewhere, let us know right away. even a small piece of news can become very important. you can call the magnolia children's tracing service. at any time of the day by short number 11630. calls from all ukrainian mobile operators are free. if you suddenly find yourself in a temporarily occupied territory and cannot make a call, write to the chatbots of the child tracing service in telegram, or look for us on facebook. i told you the stories of only three children who disappeared because of a full-scale invasion of russia. in general, since the beginning of the war, we have already received several thousand

requests for help in the search, of course, the vast majority of children have been found and now everything is fine with them, but unfortunately, the fate of many still remains unknown, and everyone can help find them . believe me, just a minute of your time can be decisive. go to the website of the magnolia children's search service in the "missing" children of ukraine section. here you can view all the photos of the missing. maybe just... you will recognize someone and eventually help to find at the same time, unfortunately, children are also disappearing in the territories controlled by ukraine. and, as the experience of the children's search service shows, the vast majority of them are teenagers who often resort to running away because of their experiences and some unresolved problems. we talked about this topic with a psychologist and collected a lot of tips for parents that can prevent a child from suddenly running away from home. according to experts, it happens very often. so that the problems of teenagers

reflect the problems of the adults who surround them, so psychologists advise first of all establish their own emotional comfort, then it will be much easier for an adult to help their child. take care of your psychological well-being, be attentive to yourself, because often the problems of children and teenagers are a reflection of the problems of the adults around them, and if you feel tired and exhausted, if nothing makes you happy, something... worries and scares you, if you you notice that you have become less productive, that you get angry more often, that you have some problems with memory, for example, with attention, with concentration, this is all an excuse for you, apply for help, receive this help, adjust your life, adjust your own psychological comfort, and then already from a healthy, prosperous position to help your child, and maybe at that moment this help will no longer be needed.

greetings, good evening, my name is myroslava barchuk, this is a program of my own name. a joint project of the ukrainian pen and the espresso tv channel, and today we will talk about the ukrainian cultural fund, how to prevent its second collapse, how to save it. it may seem to you now that this topic is against the background of what is happening in the country, against the background of the drama

that we are watching, may not be so hot or important, but believe me, this is exactly what... we are fighting for on the fronts, this is culture. for a very long time, in ukrainian journalism, for more than 20 years, i have observed how ukrainian culture, it was called culture, was pushed out, disappeared from ukrainian television, and here we are today , what we will talk about is actually a consequence of how this second nature of culture in the mind people, the consciousness of civil society, if not... attentiveness to culture media, what it all leads to. today, my interlocutors and guests are volodymyr sheyko, director of the ukrainian institute , cultural diplomacy expert, cultural manager, volodya, congratulations, good evening, bohdan logvynenko, journalist, writer,

founder and ideological inspiration of the ukrainer project, also our guest, congratulations bohdan, and bohdan and volodymyr are candidates for the new supervisory board. of the ukrainian cultural fund, and now there is a competition for this supervisory board. bohdan is running for public organizations, and volodymyr is running for cultural institutions. we, later, i will ask why they decided to actually submit their candidacies, why it is important for them, but first i will explain what the ukrainian cultural fund is, for those who may not be very knowledgeable. so, the ukrainian cultural fund is such a state investment. it is actually a state institution that should fund art projects on the basis of transparent and honest cultural competitive selections. the budget of the ukrainian cultural fund for the year 2024 is 215.5 million

uah these are our taxes. that's why it's particularly important. if we speak in one sentence about... the story about the drama of the ukrainian cultural fund, then this story is as follows: after the revolution of dignity, this cultural institution is created, the relevant legislation is drawn up, at the beginning. in 2018 , cultural manager yulia fediv became the executive director of the ukf. the newly created institution has a good reputation among and in the cultural environment and in society, it has positive reviews and is gradually turning into such, it would seem, permanent a cultural institution that actually has many wonderful projects. financed, you were probably at exhibitions, musical events,

which were financed precisely from the submission of experts of the ukrainian cultural fund. and then i will quote daria badyor, a critic who wrote the following: in 2021, the new ministry of culture, together with the president's office, hacked the ukrainian cultural fund, just as before, they hacked the state cinema in order to transform it. it is a manual institution, so my first question to the guests is how it became possible, why ukrainian a cultural institution that seemed , i said, became an institution, so it seemed to us that, that, that it is irreversible, so that we have some reputationally clean history, how did it happen, that it was possible to raid it, bohdan, come on. well, i will definitely say that sometimes this happens with various institutions, and

this happens not only in our country, sometimes the laws are not ideal, they need to be improved, and therefore, in particular, now it is extremely important for the public to pay attention to defending this institution, improving it law, improve there provisions on the supervisory board and so on, and in order to... further prevent hacker attacks, this is a constant process, there are a large number of dinosaurs in ukrainian culture, as in any other sphere, who are trying to regain power, recognition, the distribution of funds, which for many is extremely important, so first of all it should be about the safety of the institution, unfortunately, the law on the ukf was imperfect, it was perfect at the time of its creation, yes, but

in the process we have already seen many shortcomings that must be to improve now, but in order to in order to remove these, er, these shortcomings, a worthy supervisory board must be elected. volodya, how did it happen that in the 21st year it was possible to raid the ukrainian cultural fund, as many cultural figures say, yes, as many people with a good reputation and progressive views say, i will certainly start with the answer to the question that logically precedes to your question, the actual question is why, so who needs it, why raid or hack one of such system-forming institutions of culture in post-maidan ukraine, for viewers who may not... know, or have not followed the situation with the ukf, i will tell you that the ukf was conceived as a new,

transparent, honest, publicly accountable way of distributing budget funds, i.e. taxpayers' funds, both among the state and and not the state sector of culture, it is very important to say this, since almost all budget funds were used before the creation of the ukrainian cultural center. went through the ministry of culture to maintain the so-called network of cultural institutions, that is, these are theaters, museums, other, national and cultural institutions, which actually exclusion, this process excluded from the field of cultural financing the entire non-state, that is , independent public sector, and this is a huge number and people who work in it, and this is a huge number of initiatives, many of which... i am sure the audience knows well, and festivals, and independent theaters, and

various public initiatives in the field of cinema, literature, music, and the like. and in fact, the establishment of the ukf meant that a huge number of new agents received access to budget funds in a transparent manner. which before that were actually excluded from the field of view of the state, and that is of course. created the need for many unscrupulous people to take advantage of this opportunity, to distort the procedures for the selection of members of the supervisory board, and then the procedures for the selection of experts who evaluate applications and... accordingly, the results of the competitive selection of projects in their favor, which is why the situation that happened in the 21 year, when, as bohdan said, the ukf law was written in such a way that the procedures for selecting members of the ukf supervisory board could be bypassed or could be

use to get the right people on the supervisory board. let's talk about it separately, because it's a very interesting story, because this procedure of competitive selection with the help of public organizations, it was not only for the ukf, it was also applied, for example, to the art arsenal, the election of the director of the art arsenal, when the director of the art arsenal was barely mykhailo kolinyak, the minister of culture of yanukovych's regime, who was remembered, did not become. by holding the violin while playing it between his legs, and only thanks to one voice we succeeded, because i was in the competition commission too, so i speak as a witness, we managed to prevent this with only one vote, and my other question, actually very important, is whether the legislation

is the legislation, we will talk about it later, but did the civil society do it then two years ago ? in order to prevent this from happening, if such results were a selection, then civil society obviously did not do everything , since the procedure looks like that the civil society quota, which actually consists of two people, in it the public can nominate both candidates for the supervisory board and voters, who then choose these candidates by rating voting, and unfortunately , the quantitative rule worked here, i.e., one of the unscrupulous candidates and current members of the supervisory board included a critical number of connected and friendly public figures among the voters organizations that actually voted for him and thus he chose a greater number of votes for the rest and it seems to me that despite the mobilization

of the public around the okf around yulia fediv, which took place in several waves during the previous few years somehow did not work at the time of selection to the supervisory board, that is, daria badyor correctly says that we, well, we actually lost this battle, we will now explain, explain to people what we mean when we talk about pocket public organizations, which then elect members of the supervisory board, but first we will show... the appeal ukrainian cultural figures addressed on friday to president volodymyr zelenskyi, please show this appeal and to the ministry of culture, information policy of ukraine, with with a call to take responsibility for the formation of a new supervisory board of the ukrainian cultural foundation, please

show this appeal, they write that the current procedure... of elections to the supervisory board undermines the principle of independence and impartiality, as the requirements for candidates to have an impeccable business reputation, such as provides for the law, remain purely formal, what they demand, so in this appeal to the president and to the ministry of culture, therefore they call, in particular in the case of election to the members of the supervisory board of persons whose actions show signs of election manipulation through voting in authorized and responsible public organizations, to require them to remove themselves from the appointment as members of the supervisory board, as well as to conduct an open discussion of candidacies under the quotas of the president of ukraine and the ministry of ukraine and the information policy of ukraine with the community workers of culture, so here it is necessary to explain that there are nine members in the supervisory board of the ucf, of

which four are appointed by the president and the ministry of culture without... voting, and another four by institutions culture and public associations, the ninth member of the supervisory board is elected by the already elected members of the board, and right now there are elections for the second quartet from cultural institutions and public associations, i would like to show a diagram, one table that... ukrainian truth, this is a table from izi, the institute of legislative ideas, where more than fifty organizations followed. who will actually vote for members of the supervisory board, so there are 103 of these organizations in total, and half

of these organizations are related to approval of the institute of legislative ideas with one candidate, oleksandr suslenskyi, a current member of the supervisory board of the ukf. so, izi is an institute of legislative ideas, they say that about 20... of these public organizations have a direct relationship with the family of oleksandr suslynskyi, the same number have potential or partnership ties with oleksandr suslynskyi, i am quoting the institute of legislative ideas . now the time has actually come for me to ask a rather obvious question to you, bohdan and to you, volodya, why in the background... from this you decided to run for the supervisory board, and if this is the situation, as we see on this table, then what gives you optimism, that it is possible, that

the mission, that the mission can be completed, the unity of public organizations gives me optimism, that is, it is possible for the first time in such elections to supervisory boards, various institutions. most of the candidates withdrew, that is, six out of 11 , in favor of the others, so that what the audience just saw did not pass, actually two candidates, mr. suslensky and his colleague, did not pass in the supervisory office the council continued not to deal with the distribution of funds, because for them it is purely the distribution of funds in reality. so, in the environment, therefore, among public organizations, yes, six candidates withdrew , yes, in your favor, yes, yes, and volodymyr

vorobey, volodymyr vorobey, who is, who is a member of the supervisory board of promprilad, yes, why did i leave, because we had quite a long experience of working with the ukrainian cultural fund, it was very successful. we received some kind of award from the ukrainian cultural fund, eh, well, from the 21st year we decided not to apply more on the ukf, due to the fact that it was hacked, and now uh, that is, we have not submitted for three years and are ready not to submit further, but we understand, ukrainians, i mean, as a public organization, we understand the importance . institutions, the importance of these institutions for us at the start, yes, because ukf actually supported us in the first years of our

existence, and therefore now this opportunity, it should return to those cultural workers who are now talking about, for example , the ukrainian war, books know about it, well we have to capture our narrative, we have to spread it in the world. because such exhibitions, as russia tried to hold in italy, they will continue to happen and multiply, the books of ex-wagnerians will be published all over the world, and we have to oppose this, and it is clear that the ukrainian institute it is the mission of the ukrainian institute to spread ukrainian narratives in the world, but these narratives must appear here, and the ukrainian cultural fund must support those sprouts of culture. which are being born here now, and actually this is mine personal motivation. bohdan, but you said that you have not submitted since the 21st year

, that is, you, you know that this supervisory board, which is now in place, in the ukrainian cultural fund or those experts who work there, that they were somehow biased , are there any problems in the activities of the ukf, can you confirm this, or are you simply not... trying in principle, or is there already such a formed opinion in the cultural or media environment regarding this, please explain to people who do not know anything? and there was a whole chain of events, that is, we watched how suslenskyi became, well, not only him, he became a member of the supervisory board, that is, it was unscrupulous, then there were unscrupulous elections of the executive director of the ukrainian cultural foundation, and then there were dismissals of experts, well, i cannot name specific cases now, but it is also was unscrupulous, accordingly we decided for ourselves that this is a very big reputational

risk for us. to apply further to the program of the ukrainian cultural foundation, therefore already further on, as an applicant, we had no work experience, but, well, from time to time, various cases of not very successful cooperation with the ukf, certain projects that experts had already selected and voted for were canceled by the supervisory board, accordingly manual management of the cultural fund began, which absolutely destroys the reputation of transparency and fairness of project selection. i know, why, why did you decide to submit your candidacy, and i know that unlike public organizations, yes, cultural organizations, none of the candidates, if i understand correctly, yes, did not withdraw their candidacy, i mean

cult public organization in the field of culture, i am running at the request of cultural institutions, from cultural institutions, i am running at the request and for the nomination of the artistic arsenal, and as far as i know, none of the candidates who in this category are applying for a role in participating in to the supervisory board, did not withdraw their candidacies in favor of someone else, what this means, we can only guess, maybe nothing. does not mean, but it is important to me, the general principle of managing the institution in the form of a supervisory board is important to me, that is, it is very important, it seems to me to unpack, because before the foundation of the ukrainian academy of arts, before the foundation of the ukrainian institute, the ukrainian book institute, i.e. the first few post-maidan years, cultural institutions were managed by the relevant ministries, i.e. the central bodies of the executive power, the so-called

governing bodies, this means... that the ministry had practically unlimited influence on the activities and decisions made by these institutions, the post-maidan era changed this paradigm and introduced the practice of the existence of supervisory boards around new institutions culture, which should take over the functions of the management body, that is, the functions of the controlling body and the functions of the collegial body, which agrees on some key strategic ones of such a high level. decisions of these organizations, and the idea was that representatives of the public or the independent sector should have a large, if not a majority, of the votes in the supervisory boards, that is , to remove from the state the possibility of manually managing these new institutions according to their design and meaning, therefore according to this the supervisory board of the ukrainian institute exists and operates according to a similar logic...

the supervisory board of the ukrainian institute of books operates, and it is very important to me that such a key institution as the ukf is also managed in an honest manner, that the interests of very different people are represented in it stakeholders, but so that none of them would be tempted to turn on the handbrake again and change the activities, operational activities of the fund in a convenient or necessary way, this principle was borrowed from the cultural institution. without corporate governance, it is not new, it is as old as the world, when a business owner, yes, in our case , the founding state, delegates the functions of managing an institution or organization or business to a supervisory board, and removes itself from a series of strategic and tactical decisions, and this seems to me a big a test of all of us for maturity and readiness, first of all, for the state to dare to take

such a step is very uncharacteristic for itself, because the instinct of the state prescribes to control the maximum of all subordinates and all subordinate institutions, and on the other hand on the one hand, this is a test for the public, which must also be able to mobilize, which must also be able to defend its voice, make itself visible to the same authorities and be an interlocutor for it, which evokes both trust and a desire to communicate. with them, when we talk about the state, in this situation , the state is represented in the supervisory board by as many as four people, there are two people from the president's office and two people from the ministry of culture, by the way, the ministry of culture somehow communicates, we already know the candidates from the ministry of culture to supervisory board'.
