mountain assault brigade in the area northeast of the settlement of vesela. the deeppstate resource also published information that the occupiers shot six wounded defenders of avdiyivka at the zenit position. the enemy is trying to knock out our units from the bridgehead on the left bank of the dnieper, the defense forces of southern ukraine report. the occupiers made two unsuccessful assault attempts. having suffered losses, they withdrew. currently, enemy aerial reconnaissance has been activated, artillery pressure continues, and the use of strike drones has increased. defense forces of the south continue the artillery duel, knocking out the occupiers from their position on the left bank. in the last day , the russian command post, two observation posts and five fortifications were liquidated. 45 occupiers and four guns were eliminated. during the four months of the active phase of the avdiyiv

for debaltseve in 2015, military chaplains served a prayer. in the winter of 2015, syrskyi was one of the commanders of the anti-terrorist operation. one of his tasks was to coordinate the withdrawal of ukrainian units from debaltsevo. therefore, for him, it is not only a term from history, but also a part of his personal life - noted sirskyi. release the defenders of azovstal. a large-scale event took place in the capital. action of the relatives of the defenders of mariupol, their loved ones came to the maidan in kyiv to remind that our fighters have been in russian torture chambers for almost two years. similar actions take place every sunday in different cities of our country. i am here every sunday, because i have a husband, he is a maritime border officer, he has been in captivity for 21 months, waiting for him, i, my wife, have a little son waiting for him. we

want the entire mariupol garrison to return, because they have not had a normal life for two years. we remain worthy of our heroes. the participants of the revolution of dignity, who died on february 18, 2014, were commemorated in mariinsky park. on this day, exactly 10 years ago, security forces announced about the beginning of cleaning the maidan. then 17 participants of the protest were killed, 14 more were killed. after lunch, in the sviatomikhaiv golden-top cathedral, a memorial service was held in memory of the fighters for the independence of ukraine. what happened on february 18, 10 years ago, was pure horror. then thousands, if not tens of thousands , of ukrainians came to this moryn park to the verkhovna rada to support the demand of the opposition, which was trying to stop and put an end to yanukovych's usurpation of power. always.

come, we love our country and will fight for it, or we will win our ukraine, a free, independent, flourishing state, or we will all perish for it. they passed a preliminary check: ukrainian drones, lancet analogs are preparing for the first combat tests, deputy prime minister of digital transformation mykhailo fedorov announced. according to him , two of the four drones were successfully tested. in the future, in a few months, it will be possible to produce about 100 similar devices per month. the advantages of lancets are that they, unlike large quadcopters, which can only work under by closing the night because of the sizes can work during the day in addition, the distance of the impression of the technique is 30-40 km, while fpv drones work only at 10-20 km. there , investments are really needed, both in software, and

the camera is not cheap there, and well, that is, it is already quite a technological product, that is why it did not appear there immediately, so it was necessary to launch the market, to give money to manufacturers for r&d, so that... .. they could reinvest in this direction, and here we have the first results, but we will now test it on the polyba and well, that is, all this for myself, there i made sure that this is an irreversible story. france will hand over the newest kamikaze drones for ukraine. currently, their development is in the experimental phase. so the handover of the drones will take place in the coming weeks. for france, this is also an opportunity for combat tests of a new generation of equipment - he noted. minister of defense of the country sebastian licorniu. he also noted that france has trained 10,000 ukrainian fighters since the start of the full-scale invasion. this year , another 7 to 9,000 military personnel will be trained.

ukrainian pilots can receive the first f-16 fighters as early as the summer of 2024. presumably they are will arrive in june. this assumption was made by the minister in munich. defense of lithuania, foreign media write. at the same time, they claim that the same time frame was given by another european official, but his name is not mentioned. let me remind you that earlier the netherlands promised to increase the number of fighter jets that will be transferred to ukraine. we are talking about at least 24 boards. russian interventionists en masse connect the occupied areas to their satellite television called russian. how do they increase the pressure of their propaganda on ukrainians, as reported by the main administration intelligence of the ministry of defense, the russians have already installed more than 18,000 devices for receiving satellite television. in addition, in the occupied communities of donetsk region, the invaders transfer

the work of the occupation administrations to their software. muscovites are also expanding the network of russian mobile communications. there are already more than 700 base stations in donetsk region, more than 200 in... kherson region. blocking the ukrainian border by poland will end when ukraine gets full access to the black sea, foreign minister radoslav said sikorsky during a joint speech with the deputy prime minister of ukraine for european integration olga stefanishyna at the munich security conference. according to sikorsky, warsaw is a strong supporter of ukraine, however. does not want polish farmers to bear the brunt of this dispute. the country that pays the biggest price for pan-european solidarity, which i generally support, and the two specific polish professions that pay the main burden are

farmers and truck drivers, and we need to solve this in a way that does not overshadow the general pictures of wielkopolska solidarity with ukraine, and there is a solution on the horizon for both, that is... ukraine on the black sea. the reason why freight transport is so vital is that ukraine could not export its goods by sea. found the bullet and swallowed it. doctors saved a boy from belogorodka in the kyiv region. bohdan found a bullet that remained after the fighting. the child decided to experiment with a dangerous object and swallowed it. frightened parents took the boy to the hospital as soon as possible. the doctors did an x-ray. nography and determined the location of the bullet, after which it was removed, told in the regional children's hospital. the bullet will remain in the collection of the medical institution. he could not explain why the boy decided to experiment with the bullet. that was the news for this

time, you can read more on our website espresso tv, follow us on social networks and watch on youtube. and the next news release, which we are already preparing for you. please wait at 18:00. good evening, my name is myroslava barchuk and this program is a joint project ukrainian foam and espresso tv channel. today we will talk about classical ukrainian culture stolen by the russians. sometimes it seems to me that the russian aggression to a large extent actually happens because... the russians want to appropriate the fact that they could not kill our culture, our history,

our origin, our heritage of the kyiv movement and so on. this is what we will talk about with my guest. today, i have bohdan oleg horobchuk, sociologist of culture and author of two youtube channels. candidate of the cynical sciences and culture trigger. congratulations, bohdan. congratulations. thank you for coming. so, i'll start with the good news. in fact, those ukrainian artists who for years and decades were listed in world museums as russians, and their works, as works on russian themes, are now being actively decolonized, this is called reattribution, not as many people are engaged in this as we would like, but there are first results for example, we already talked about the changes at the metropolitan museum of art. caption to the title in the painting by edgar digg from russian dancers on dancers in ukrainian costumes. arkhipakuinji ivan ivazovsky

ilya ripin, that's how ripin should be said, and we will explain why they stopped signing as russian artists. in addition, not so long ago, the city museum of amsterdam now classifies the artist kazimir malevich as a ukrainian, and not a russian, as before. and here is the last literally in recent weeks. another great news: the largest art museum in finland, athenaeum, changed the signature of the artist ilya ripen from russian to ukrainian. of course, this story is evocative terrible aggression in russians, i'm not even talking about propagandists, but even such liberal, good russians, they say, well, what about you, well, it's some kind of inferiority complex in ukrainians, it's absolutely incorrect to include these people. to ukrainian culture, here they graduated from the st. petersburg art

academy, here they were part of the great russian culture and so on, how do you answer actually, well, not good russian, but in general, how do you determine for yourself where it is correct to attribute a person to ukrainian culture? i think that is the question is really fundamental, and it is, like any fundamental question, about values. we can claim that there are values ​​that are inherent to the ukrainian people, and this is noted in our deep culture, in various manifestations of this culture. we are talking about love of freedom, democracy, respect for women, and similar, similar values, they can be listed for a long time, they are reflected to one degree or another. in the same way, we can talk about the fact that there are certain, as well as a set of values ​​​​related to the culture of russia, great russia, as the center of the empire, and this culture is primarily quite chauvinistic and

hierarchical, it is inherently anti-democratic, and if we superimpose on this matrix the work of artists who worked in the russian empire, we will clearly understand that there are, well, there is such a quite tangible division, some artists adhere to imperial prices'. and above all, it is the famous uvarov troika, orthodoxy, autocracy , narodnost, that is, to explain that uvarov is such a well-known monarchist, he is the minister of education, that's right, of national education, yes, who formed this triad of orthodoxy, autocracy , populism in the first third of the 19th century , the 1830s, the beginning of the 1930s, in fact, it was the moment when viktor kochubey seems to be viktor kochubey. lost, well, that is , he died, the year 1834 kochubey dies, a ukrainian, born in

the deanery, the fact that few people pay attention to it is fantastic, dinners on a farm near the deanery were written and published at a time when the country was essentially ruled by chancellor kochubey, who was born in the deanery, it was some descendant of that kochubey, that's right, it was a descendant of that one kochubeya, well, i won’t praise him in any particular way, he was, oddly enough, quite liberal in his views, he was quite a lot... in the russian empire, that is, from this point of view, of course, he was a man of advanced views, ukrainian values, like me already said, democratization and similar things, at the same time, of course, he considered himself a part of the imperial apparatus as well, he was the little russian who built the general empire, and stood higher than many great russians, of course, this was also indicated, but how you understand, cooperation is cooperation. i i want to ask you, now from kochbe back to the artists, so return, and i want to ask about inclusion in the artists,

for example, kramsky, yes, or ripen, inclusion in the process. cultural russian, so, for example, the same kramsky, yes , the russians call him kramskaya, yes, he too, this is the same st. petersburg academy of arts, he said that he was the son of a scribe and a cossack mother, yes, but he was part of this movement of wanderers, it was, it is, it is a purely russian cultural phenomenon, and they are, and they are russian, or of the russian empire, of the russian empire, and they inspired them, inspired the narodnich. isn't this part of the uvarov triad? a very interesting question , let's take a closer look at all these points: if we are talking about uvarov's triad, what exactly are the approaches in this triad, if, if it is orthodoxy, then it is a lofty attitude towards religion, spiritual recognition according to this, spiritual primacy, and

what religion has, orthodoxy, should create a spiritual, supposedly sanctifying power. in russia and people, an autocracy is the absence of any mechanisms of constitutional monarchy and similar things, it is opposition to any processes that resemble what happened in france, in holland, in many other countries of that time, this is such an autocracy, that is, the monarch is alone and he has an administration, nationality, what is nationality, this is the so-called official nationality, this is the lack of distinction between the little russians, i may be wrong in the details, but the point is that the logic was such that nationality is the trinity of the people, i.e. artists who in to one degree or another undermined the authority of orthodoxy, undermined

the authority of the autocracy and undermined the authority of such an understanding of nationhood, they essentially deconstructed , that is... once again called into question the values ​​that underlie russia, as this empire, respectively, who, in particular, conquered ukraine, if you look, that is, the artists, from those who distinguished the identity of ukrainians as a separate people, their corresponding visual difference, their calling them a separate people, a separate nation, and so on, these were already artists who undermined this official understanding. rypin , kramsky, yaroshenko, mykola g., and many, many others, even the same ivan ivazovsky, who was an ethnic armenian, but he chose, for example, when he painted people in the entourage of certain of his paintings, he very often painted ukrainians, like staff, because as the heroes of his paintings, that is, again in distinctly ukrainian outfits, when he painted

ukrainian landscapes, he emphasized it with ukrainian markers, and these were windmills, these were topol. these were ukrainian adobe huts, these were dnipro, that is, essentially these artists, they showed that their work is not connected with the abstract russian empire, but with ukraine, and this was a principled position, when you talk about the nomads, this is a very interesting phenomenon, because what is the essence of nomadism, only that that they chose democratic themes, in fact, even the very term traveling exhibitions, peredvizhnychestvo, meant that the artists chose it... to build a system of distribution of their creativity so that their exhibitions were not confined only to st. petersburg and moscow, as two centers, as it were empire, and for them to go to kyiv, kharkiv, odesa, other cities, katerynoslav, in particular, and this is a large number of these places were in ukraine, as well as exhibitions went to riga, vilnius and so on, if you raise the archives in general, and i

i did it and i saw it, where there were exhibitions of many artists, the artists themselves, for example, kostiantyn savytskyi, an artist from taganrog, who, of course, is called a russian artist, and even in wikipedia the ukrainian calls him a russian artist, but that’s so far, and he actually has if, not only that he himself undermined all of orthodoxy, autocracy, narodnost, essentially consistently criticized these points, he also demanded that his paintings go to kyiv, kherson, and odesa together with traveling exhibitions, there is a recorded correspondence. i refer to archival sources that prove this, i.e. peredvizhniki, it was actually a phenomenon that, well, almost half of the most famous peredvizhniki were ukrainian artists, and one of the moments of the avant-garde. honor was that this movement made it possible to acquaint the ukrainian audience with the ukrainian audience current art. it is clear, that is

, to consider the wanderers, as we were told, that this is a russian imperial phenomenon, is incorrect and false. let 's talk about ilya repin, who really is repin, and here it is necessary to prove it. which a lot of people say oh wait that's overkill, actually it's overkill right ripa, repin or ripin? this is how i think, again i am always ready for a discussion, because this question is not strictly historical for many reasons, for example, based on the fact that ripin was obvious and it was proven by the descendant of cossacks, and judging by his paragraph on zaporozhian cossacks, probably zaporozhian cossacks. it is also possible to state with complete certainty, well, that is, it has been proven by scientists, that his family on both his mother’s and father ’s side have lived

near chuguyev for centuries, well, for several centuries, it seems that his mother’s side has been since the 17th century, his father’s side has been since the 18th, well, in any case, it such a long period, and this is unlikely, and it was even before the araksheiv region, that is, before they mixed the local cossack population, which had been in the hetman region for a long time, with such... elements that went there were pulled up in order to control that region, so these contingents formed so-called military settlements, and rypin had the identity of a military villager, a military one, well, he has his thoughts there, that i am there, i have, well, in short , he was a ukrainian military villager, this was his identity, and he actually called, i say... often russians, but in his memoirs he calls the people who lived in the former villages khokhlas, and this supposedly means that he has there was no ukrainian identity,

in fact, literally in the next paragraph , he calls the merchants who came from the north katsaps, which means that he did not even have a great rodian identity, he had a cossack identity, or rather the identity of military settlers, and therefore the military state, which was different from the peasant state, it is necessary to understand very clearly that... often peasants, ordinary people, who had never had a relationship with the army, they were perceived as people, for a long time military, when this matter was passed from generation to generation, as if people of a slightly different identity, then still such a strong all-ukrainian all-ukrainian identity, which would include all social groups that exists now, and it is natural for us to feel it, then it was not even close to that in reality, and it is very important to clearly understand, but ilya ripin was a unique artist. who matured to his ukrainian identity, in what way? he deeply studied historical documents and historical materials while working on historical

canvases. among his close friends were kostomarov and yavornytskyi, prominent ukrainian historians who wrote works in which showed the real picture of the russian empire, in particular, tsarina sophia, the murder of son by ivan the terrible, these are all the shocking canvases of ripin, which, in fact, deconstruct the autocracy. what does the painting ivan the terrible kill his son do? it shows that the russian autocracy is crazy, it kills its children, it essentially destroys, well, what does this picture show. it is just like the burlaks on the volga, so it shows that, look, in the russian empire, on which nationality is it built, on which nationality does the autocracy and orthodoxy in the russian empire, look at this nation, it is harnessed and pulling these barges, not only is it pushing the barges, these

men actually earned, maybe more than the artist, it is proven that the burlyks were people who received a lot of money, but they actually all drank them, this is what , in particular, the artist had in mind when he painted the cossacks, there are no gloomy, sleepy faces, although they are frolicking, zaporozhian cossacks, but there are faces... in inspiration, he painted them, zaporozhian cossacks , rippen wrote for his friends, ukrainians, intellectuals, yes, they did not have traces of moral discord on their faces, as was the case with the burlyks, this is another thing, that is, it all consists of such puzzles, of such facts, you understand, obvious facts, and the general a picture that allows us to say that this is a ukrainian artist, and regarding repin, look, repin is a russified variant through the arakcheiv oblast, through... the process of russification of the permanent cossack surname ripa. it is obvious that somewhere in chuguyev, in those regiments where they lived, they could not write rip, because it too ukrainian option, and we are building

an empire. soldiers - this is the nation that the russian empire hoped for, remember surikov, he has half of the paintings about russian valor, huge paintings, huge sizes, here is an imperial artist, by the way, here is surikov, the opposite is purely, purely an imperial artist, here is a russian artist , i wonder why russia has not yet raised him to the flag, in russia , by the way, russian people consider ripen their most outstanding artist, not surikov, not vasnyatsov, who is also... because he really well, it is banal as an artist much stronger than his head, like mykola g, like many others, than all these russian patented imperialists who received money from the state, vasnitsov lived in a terem, one could simply envy there, he received for the painting of the volodymyr cathedral so many dragonflies that he could simply bathe in them, well ripen also painted

emperors. nicholas ii, he painted alexander ii, that is, he was also russian, well, it was the same for money, i understand correctly that he wanted to be buried in chuguyev, that is, it was important for him, no that's right, i'll tell this story now , i think that judging by his correspondence with yavornytskyi, in the last years of his life he was finishing two very important paintings for him, one is a painting that he painted for 50 years, this... . the procession in the oak forest , in which he showed what ukraine is, that is, he wrote the procession in the oak forest based on chuguyev's childhood memories, and he had another picture that he painted at the same time, but finished much earlier , sold a procession in the kursk province, that's absolutely such a picture of the worship of russian society, there are such policemen on horses, people are attacked, in short, there is terrible, terrible social realism, yes, and

the procession of the cross is a shame. it is such, one might even say, an ideal work in some respects, there is a priest walking by, a pilgrim is walking by, that is, it is a democratic thing, it shows the difference between the hierarchical society of the russian empire and the democratic ukrainian life of this chuguev, but there are none there, well, in short, and the second thing is hopak, this is ripen's last work, he worked on na a few years and hopak, well in my opinion, well, what could be more eloquent, which russian artist will write his last... but hopak, i apologize, this is obviously a ukrainian dance, if only russia would not try to take it away from us, but it never it won't happen, all the same, i think, it is unlikely that the world can be fooled so stupidly, here is ripin writing hopak, and at the same time he is corresponding with yavornytskyi, and it is in fact yavernytskyi who invites him to ukraine, like others, it is obvious, it is essentially the second half of the 20s, if ripin had come to

ukraine, he would obviously... he would have been forced to go to moscow to live at that time, and well , we understand that, he also understood it, and that's why he answered yavornytskyi, he says: i still have to finish the hopak where i now there is, although i cannot go back there , well, that is, he could not say directly, it is obvious that their correspondence must have been read, that is, it seems to me that ripen was led as a potential leader of socialist realism in the soviet union, he was bitter, responsible for literature and ripin had to answer for art, he, it seems to me that he was a kind of role model for socialism, and it was very important to drag him into the soviet union. accordingly, yaurnytsky may have also understood it, he understood it, that is, he was buried in chuguyev, that is, it meant for him to return and live here, it seems to me, it seems to me, and it also meant that he could not go for it, because he understood what he was risking, and that is why he named one of the hills where he was eventually buried in the territory of the kookkala this e. repino, the

what is it called now, yes, he called it chuguyeva mountain, this is the territory that belonged to finland, and then passed to russia, yes, probably, to be honest, well, judging by everything, it was before war, when finland lost certain territories, but yes, that is, rypin chose to live in a state that had no relation to russia, in fact, he was not... obliged to the soviet union, he wanted, he was starving, cold, he had problems with children, he had, well, he really lived a difficult life, but he chose to live this life, it is obvious that he was promised by karniy chukovsky and others, perhaps, well, i will not blame vernytskyi in this sense, of course, that he will live in luxury, well, in the sense that he is definitely not cold, not hungry, one of ripen's last self-portraits wearing a cap, meaning he obviously worked in the...
