they wanted to approve it in a very quiet way, so to speak, they put it forward for approval without discussing it with the community, and there were no public readings, and this strategy was canceled because it was really incomplete and it did not take into account the context of the war at all, that is, the plans according to which the state cinema is trying to distribute this money this year, to carry out the form that they fixed in this strategy, that is, even this strategy was from... and today we have a situation where we have a number of these facts that provoke public indignation, mistrust, illegitimacy, lack of strategy, and this body receives record funding today, we all have big questions about how this money will be distributed, under what conditions this pitching will be carried out, and most importantly, we have them all today there is total mistrust, so here is this decision once again... to draw attention to this

issue, to emphasize that this will cause further problems, i.e. these are the goals that today, what they want to achieve with this money, i.e. it is to help ukrainian cinematography, we see that, well, if there is not reformed state cinema, this will only deepen the crisis, that is, it will prevent us from creating films today, which are even being created without state support for today, that is , producers are looking for other opportunities, so... and what we are calling for, really, until the situation is resolved from derzhkino, to redirect this money to more effective directions, but actually i will also say what the people who are against this letter are saying there, but at the winter film market there was a lot of talk and they also talked about it before, that they say we need to oppose something to russia, wake up, russia makes various propaganda films, and , for example, the authors of the film butch say something quite scandalous: that we make

our films because the russians make them, look, they made the film witness, we also need to show the world our point of view, i will simply say that the film witness , it failed miserably at the russian box office, at the belarusian box office, one viewer came there on the first day, there were even news about it, but they are of the position that the film should be shot, because the russians allocate large budgets for him, they are for it the very word "boy" is constantly mentioned, look what i am... the series, what influence he has, and the russians also make films for export, and we should also make them, marina stepansko, just yesterday the director wrote a post about the fact that cinema is propaganda , it doesn't work very well, because it played for a long time, yes, because it's a matter of strategy, not tactics, because the movie is shot in principle for a very long time, but we now see that when a movie is shot even in six months, it happens that in six months they shoot a movie and show it, explain your point vision, how well... does this mechanics

of cinema as a weapon work at all, is it even correct to say this, is it possible to talk about art like this at all, and if we are talking about the effects of cinema, then how should it be shot so that it affects and exactly how it affects us both internally and externally, yulia, and again, i also share the position that cinema is a powerful tool for influencing society, on changes that may occur in... society, it really needs to be financed, all of this is true that i don't like and personally i don't think that we should constantly make some kind of comparison, but in russia , they did this, they shot such a film or such a series, but we don't, so really, they perfectly understand the power of cinema in russia, for a long time, they continuously supported the film process , and the teleprocess is just as many years old, this is all a fact of course. as for us, actually,

first of all, people often speculate on the concept of patriotic cinema, because this word is somehow charged with different polar conclusions about it, and it can be perceived in different ways, and the same film bucha you also use it, he says that the world should see the truth about what happened in bucha, however, cinema as an art, cinema, as, which has a really great powerful force, it cannot be done in a hurry, it cannot be done, therefore that it is happening here and now, here and now we can have some documentary footage, documentary films or plots, or journalistic materials, but cinema in the long term, it really affects e after years, that is, it is really a strategic story, and in ukraine. .. in fact, if we cut off

now a part of thinking people, talented people, who are either at the front or simply do not want to cooperate. with the current leadership of the state cinema, such cinema may simply never arise, but really, it can never be created artificially, it must be a really deep process of authorial rethinking, finding the right focus, the right form in order for it to be was sincere, so that it resonated in the hearts of people and really changed the understanding of the concept and narrative and sometimes. historical in general, well, some clichés, which were established, but actually offered a completely different point of view, and this is such a process, that is, it always starts with rather a minority, an intellectual minority, but as a result has an impact on a wider

audience. you and i have 5 minutes left , olya, the same question, well, your films that you produced won awards at various international film festivals, tell us how it is... there is this power of cinema on people outside of ukraine, what, what exactly influences, how, how to do it all, in order to get this influence that is so desirable for us cinema, for a foreign audience? lino, you are right, it is very important to create films here, if we speak and we want to use cinema as a tool for conveying ukrainian narratives, ukrainian messages to the world audience, which... he had a better understanding of who we are, what we are fighting for , why there is a war, and such films are usually created in partnership, in co-production, as we call it, and these are films that, in principle, and in order to

start creating them , we need a really strong expertise to choose which today, the films that we want to finance can speak to the audience on this level. and we again return to the question that the pitching process in order to identify such films should be carried out openly according to democratic procedures, in many world funds this is done even with the involvement of international experts, that is, all these are factors that make up this picture, that is, for such films to appear, a number of these facts must take place, that is, there must be financing, but also there must be a serious examination, today we have ah... the question is about the expertise of state cinema, about whether they can conduct such a pitching, whether they can gather experts, whether it can be transparent, whether it will not be, whether our international partners will then trust the results of these selections, i.e. , if this does not happen, then all these projects, first of all, may

be discredited, there are already today several facts of international media expressing distrust on the part of european colleagues, experts of funds between. of the people to the head of the state cinema, that is, what situation we may face, today ukrainian filmmakers represent themselves, if this is the funding that is being talked about today, well, and it, well, if this pitching is carried out now, it can simply discredit ukrainian cinema and also reduce international support, that is, it is very important, today there are many international programs , which help ukrainian filmmakers, if we have local funding, which... there are many questions, but it will appear, these programs may also be closed, so it is important to have a strategy so that we all understand that we, that we we do, and when you say that the industry is dissociating, and this issue is exclusively, well, from these points of view, we need to find understanding, because we all want

the same thing, we want to help ukrainian cinematographers so that they can speak with the world, but these are the methods offered by our colleagues and what the state cinema offers, unfortunately, this is impossible for us, because we have a serious mistrust of them. sure, thank you, i think that, well i, i'm sure we'll at espresso continue to monitor this situation, how our authorities on this letter. let me remind you, we had olga bezhmelnytsyna, the producer and also the producer yulia sinkevich on the air, and they are the signatories of the letter from the cinematographers to the chairman of the verkhovna rada to... the president to the government with a request to redirect the money allocated for the pitching of state cinema, this is a record amount for defense forces girls, i thank you to our viewers, i will also remind you of two points, there are also conversations, i think that this may

be the next stage of some confrontation or some actions, our film communities are also thinking, shouldn't we to address our friends abroad, the polish director can speak very delicately, but with a hint that maybe the head of the state cinema should be re-elected or something, and because our government is very. listens precisely to the opinions of some people who are quite influential in the international sense, and i will also remind you that the head of the state cinema was criticized by tina lok, the head of the ston festival dark nights, she said that she will categorically not cooperate with the head of the ukrainian state cinema, unlike the ukrainian ones cinematographers, they are always happy, and i will say about magaryna kudarcha herself that there are rumors that she herself wants to resign, but there is no one to replace her, there is no one for the government now. there is enough of such a candidate who would be obedient enough, except for her, well, other

rumors agree that they already wanted to fire her twice, maybe because she refused to meet, for example, with parliamentarians, saying that she was a little busy , these are the rumors, but in any case we see that marina kodarchuk, despite the criticism of her powerful already several years, she still remains in her chair, let me remind you, she refuses. to communicate with the press, for example, just a few days ago she was also waiting for journalists. well, we will continue to monitor the situation, and with that i say goodbye to you, stay with espresso. there are discounts on lyzak, 10% in psarynyk, pam and oskad pharmacies. there are discounts on citramon darnytsia 10% in travel pharmacies for you and savings. exclusively on

lists of children deported from ukraine. in particular, ukrainian boys and girls who, even before the start of the full-scale invasion, were in boarding schools in the temporarily occupied territories were deported to russia. and today we will talk about one of these difficult stories: this is 15-year-old sashko ivanov, who is now considered missing. boy. was in one of the boarding schools in donetsk, and on february 20, 2022, four days before the start of the full-scale invasion, all the inmates of this boarding school were allegedly taken to russia by the occupation authorities. this was told to us by grandmother sashka, who is currently in the territory controlled by ukraine and is looking for her grandson. we took them out of donetsk right before the war, on february 20.

above all, svitlana oleksandrivna wants to find her grandson, if he is really deported to the russian ... federation, then return sashka to ukraine and take him under guardianship, although it is likely that sasha is actually in russia, however, this is not accurate information at the moment, which is currently being verified, so i am asking... absolutely everyone who is watching this video right now, please look closely at sasha's face, he looks 14 - 15 years old, medium build, has light pink hair and brown eyes. so, if you know anything at all about sashka ivanov, do not delay and immediately contact us on the hotline of the child tracing service by calling the free

number 11630 from all mobile operators. also, perhaps this the program is seen on the internet in russia, there youtube is still working, so if you know any information about sasha ivanov, you can confirm that he is really in russia, then write to us on the website of the children's search service, or on the facebook or instagram of the search service children and i want to note that any information about the child is important in the search. let's not be indifferent, and let's try to find sasha ivanov together. also, i ask each of you to share this video on your pages if possible. in social networks. in general, the deportation of children is a component of the crime of genocide, so i want to note that if you know about any crime against a child, in particular about abduction or deportation, do not remain indifferent and immediately report it to the police, or report it to our website stopcrime. u.a. you can even do it

is a new documentary series from the ukrainer team, which tells the story of the powerful brigades and battalions that fight for our freedom. and the first series will be about 30 separate mechanized brigade named after prince konstantin ostrozky. you may be hearing about it for the first time, but this particular brigade has been at war with russia since the 14th year. they took part in the iconic raid operation, the several-year defense of the svitlodar arc, the legendary kharkiv counteroffensive from... now they continue to hold the defense in the bakhmut direction. also, this brigade is called the elite of the ukrainian infantry, and today we will find out why. in soviet times, the 30th brigade was called the rivne tank division. after the declaration of ukraine's independence, its personnel swore an oath of loyalty to the ukrainian people. and

the next important event, which affected not only the brigade, but also our entire army, happened in 2004. oleksiy, the chief of staff, a soldier of the brigade since 2004 . at that time, the brigade was conducting an experiment on the transition from military service under conscription to military service under contract, so we were the flagships of this experiment. i believe that he was given and the 30th separate mechanized brigade became the first brigade in the ground forces of the armed forces of ukraine, which... entered military service under a contract, the level of training, when i got into 2012, we were released, most of my khrupniks, they got to... conscripts. hryhoriy, the commander of the mechanized battalion, was awarded the order of bohdan khmelnytskyi of the 2nd and 3rd degrees. i got to

the serviceman contract with each. sergeants, soldiers who were there, in kosovo, congo, sierra leone, took part in peacekeeping operations. i completely radically changed my attitude to military service then, because i saw that it was the next level. it's not what i expected, not what what on... they were preparing, well , they were professionals in their field, and we were on the training ground for five or six months , there was a storm, a thunderstorm, a thunderstorm, i am the champion in the direction of rientir 4 of the yellow circle. by fire, i can say what i saw in the 14th year, serhiy dmitriev, a military... chaplain joined the brigade in 2014, there were not many combat-ready units of the military, not 70% of the unit knew english, some

other foreign languages, for example, we had a company officer there who knew, he is now of the 72nd brigade, he spoke fluently in catalan and french there, that is, they are certified people , motivation, in the 14th year their salary was 300 hryvnias, this is even then, it is not... money, the weapons were of poor quality, but they were professional servicemen, motivated, politically literate, of course, there is something left from the soviet army, because i remember that on may 9 they testified by inertia, but they already knew clearly that they would defend ukraine, what is ukraine? the 30th brigade, which is stationed in volyn... it has long been a professional military unit, a separate a mechanized brigade that has certain traditions, they are fighting, namely armed forces,

against the enemy since 2014, and it is time to give them an honorary name. oleksiy rudenko, an employee of the department of military symbols of the office of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, heraldist artist, participated in the development of the new identity of the armed forces as part of the new army volunteer group. since they... are based in novohrad-volynskyi, which recently regained its historical name coal, these are all territories without separate dominion princes of ostroh. the princes of ostroh were called the uncrowned kings of ukraine and russia. and the first among equals among them, of course, is prince konstantin ivanovich ostrovsky, who is the founder of the ostrovsky academy and a distinguished military commander. of course, the most from'. his famous military deed is the defeat of the moscow army in the battle of orsha in 1514. ukrainians, ancestors

of the current belarusians, poles, and lithuanians took part in this battle on our side. this is very important, plus there are also specialists in the event. the coat of arms of the knyazozostrovskys was traditionally in the red field. but volyn is a territory. which is marked by the fact that it was there that the ukrainian uprising of 1942 appeared. we understand that in fact the red and black symbols are not upivsk, but ounivsk, there is a difference, but since the members of the un formed, er, the constituent parts of these units of the upa, it was decided to emphasize this red-black gamut. red is volyn, it is... of the princes of ostrovsky, black is revenge and land, on the sleeve sign, it is a red and black open shield, on top of which

the sign of the ostroga of the princes of ostrovsky appeared. the brigade, which has an honorary name, can have its own motto, its own name, and we liked that the princes of ostrozki, as true uncrowned kings, signed in... god's will of the princes of ostrozki. we took the first part of this motto. dei gracia. by the will of god , the winners. we made such a sense. and this is a field version, simplified, muted. and here is the main option. the character of the location, the stars, individual details exactly repeat the true seal of ostrozhsky, which we. we have the opportunity to even hold it in our hands, that is the actual enlarged image of the seal, it's quite tiny, it's a small seal

, but it's silver, and here we are... we see the same symbol of the spur and the star in the middle, do you feel that it affects the personnel, of course, i i see that he came, so to speak, to everyone, the battalions stopped making their separate chevrons, that is, it was perceived exactly with such respect, the specialists hit, we are in for a full-scale invasion. with the boys decided to create some kind of gift for military personnel and for friends, in general for our battalion, you had something that there is no other, and we decided that the battalion seal itself, with the battalion number, it would be something that, for example, would distinguish us among other military personnel, we laid the same moral in that... it should

be worn only on the bottom, on the right hand, so that during the military salute, everyone could see which unit and which military unit you were from. the combat path of the brigade began with the beginning of the russian invasion in march 2014. at that time, the 30th was separate the mechanized brigade was one of the few combat-capable units capable of giving a decent blow to the enemy. the 30th separate mechanized brigade, like all the armed forces of ukraine. on march 1, 2014, she was... brought to a higher level of combat readiness and began to perform tasks in the area of ​​the administrative border with the autonomous republic of crimea in the area of ​​the settlements of stavka kairk to block the administrative border to prevent the so-called green men from advancing deep into the territory controlled by ukraine and the first servicemen who became under the crimea, they

became. in the region where i conducted my service and lived, well, for me, as an active person, the first thing to do was to help our servicemen, and so i stayed in the 30th brigade as a chaplain, kherson region, well this is step, it's almost in the palm of my hand, i don't see, not having normal aviation there, modern communication, everything, that is, we lost to the russians in everything, there in... military, but the motivation was so high that they were ready fight with this mortar against this katira militarily, well, not without a doubt. even then, we were standing under chiplinko and the russian helicopters, well, they made such

provocations, they... also flew to positions in the kherson region, until, by the way, the 30th brigade fired the first shot, pointed the guns, fired a warning shot, after russian helicopters stopped flying to the kherson region. it was also important that no one officially gave it to the command, it was the initiative of the officers, because they constantly said that you are restraining, restraining, since in crimea, and precisely 30. one of the first, when it came under the crimea, they also began to make maneuvers, counter-maneuver to russian servicemen, who, for example, in the summer of 14th year entered 20 by 7 km, km, kherson region, violating beyond the border, and specifically the 30th brigade, it made such maneuvers that

they moved back. back to the border of crimea. in july 2014, the brigade received a combat mission to carry out tasks in the area of ​​the settlement of stepanovka, battles for saur, a grave, which it performed until august 2014. it was during this period that the landmark operation took place the raid, which was carried out jointly with the 95th airborne brigade and other units. these were combat operations in the rear of the enemy to stop his advance. and cut off from the supply. we drove for two days in a slush. leonido staltsev, as part of the 30th brigade, took part in military operations in the summer of 2014 and during the battles in the debaltsiv direction in 2015. when we arrived at the brigade, got on the bike and drove off, so you understand, none of the soldiers knew what we were doing, where we were going, and what our task was. they said one thing: when they will come to you shoot, shoot
