of the european track, the mostytska mostytska sknyliv station, we will connect our railway with the european network, that is, this is the first project, we will build it already in... year together with our european partners and donors. the danube cluster, as we continue to develop it, i would like to remind you that in the first two years of the war, more than 20 new terminals were built there by the private sector, different forms of ownership there, different, different for the export of various goods and for the import, including various goods, our main achievement is again all thanks to the united defense forces, this is our black sea corridor, there is also more to work on... to work on, to make it more efficient, we are working on it, and i i hope that in the near future we will once again remove some barriers that will allow us to export more of our cargo, which is now primarily grain products of the metallurgical industry, and we will also start exporting as soon as possible -import

containers using containers and container terminals that will be operational again on the black sea. photos and video materials of eight video. photographers and war correspondents, mostly from ukraine , were presented at an exhibition in warsaw. visitors could not only see ukrainian realities through photos and videos, but also to feel them, because elements of virtual reality were used at the event. the exhibition was organized by a ukrainian woman who has been living in poland for 2.5 years and works in an international corporation. the event is called "war in ukraine, the heroic struggle for the freedom of ukraine and the whole of europe." oriented towards the viewer and designed to remind that the war is now in an active phase, because there are foreigners who have the false impression that it is coming to an end, - says the organizer, the exhibition is her own charity initiative. as a ukrainian woman, who

moves abroad, i understand that i communicate with citizens of other countries, not only poland, other european countries, and i have the opportunity to influence that. how foreigners perceive the war in ukraine, what they know about the war in ukraine and their own civic duty. big heart. this is for ukraine. swedish volunteers and local authorities made a support action. the lake was decorated with hundreds of candles, which opened the heart. people gathered near the water, listening to ukrainian songs and dancing. the main message of the campaign is that the war continues, no let's forget in ukraine, they are also fighting for us. this demonstration will be repeated on monday. it seemed to leave. they will no longer be able to, february and april 2022 became bloody for the once

peaceful kyiv region, thousands of residents of the northern part of the region were trapped by the russians, among them a resident of buchi, who had to survive the occupation, leave, and later return to continue her work, and this story she shared with our correspondent kateryna galko. you could see how the war started, how the first rotorcraft flew here. karina lives on the 13th floor in the very center of buchi, a prestigious high-rise building with an incredible

view from the window. february 24, 2022 became the observation deck of a terrible disaster. the first explosions, black smoke, and the airfield in gostomylo could be seen from here. the girl decided to drive away closer to the evening. i got into the car in the parking lot, my car was alone, the guards looked at me, called me brave. girl, at first i decided that i was leaving the dog at home, i would come back for it tomorrow, i left the entrance and literally onto the boulevard nearby, just as the flight was about to arrive, i jumped back into the elevator, took the dog and realized that we were going for a long time. karina comes from luhansk region, from alchevsk, so she knows well what war is like. she started preparing for the big invasion in a month. she knew that she was going to visit her friends in nemishaeve, kyiv region. usually, the journey there is 12... minutes by car, however, on february 24, i drove for one and a half hours, the woman saw

russian tanks advancing along the road, and when i was leaving the highway, i thought that we would be relatively safe, because at that time , all the tanks were driving exactly along the warsaw highway, but i didn't know that the field behind us, that this field would be based so much on that moment of the occupiers. the russians occupied shayeva already on march 2, there were tanks, we remember the number 38, we counted them and the task was to sit in the basement so quietly that neither the children, nor the dogs, nor the cats could be heard by the military, because we understood that it could be the last sound in this basement. on march 8 , it became unbearable, they left in a convoy of 50 cars, without green corridors. we got into the car and went to the door. from behind, i saw the priest who serves in this church, ours

column, he baptized, it was visible in the rear-view mirror, and at that moment it seemed that nothing would work, it seemed that we would not be able to leave, they managed to leave, the column before and after them were shot, the women were sheltered in poland, but there i still wanted to go home in safety, 33 days of occupation of buchi, 33 days of information and retreat, but on march 31 , the blue-yellow flag flew over the city again. the first thing i was waiting for was easter, i knew that i had to celebrate easter in buch, it didn't work out, because there was no light or water, then some panicked eyes again talking about the may 1 offensive, i had a date of may 16, when i have to leave buchai, by the way, photos, even a hand-drawn calendar where... i crossed out the days before our departure home,

and i didn't survived the 13th, we got into the car, at that time the world shuddered from the horrors and atrocities of the russians in buch, but it was not easy to prepare for what we saw. the scariest thing you will see in me is that my kitchen windows overlook the church under which there was a mass burial, and i couldn't imagine how you would sit in the kitchen and drink your morning coffee. and you will to look at this view, although at the time of buying this apartment this view from the window was considered very cool, despite everything, the residents of buchi are restoring their place. karina, the founder of the real estate agency, modestly calls herself a sales manager, she knows how most of the houses in buch, irpen, and gostomyla were built, she knows many people who bought apartments there. it was very difficult to survive at the moment of a full-scale invasion, you know every house, how it was built, who built it, what

construction technology was used, and if you can call it that, then there was such a game during the occupation. you knew that if there is a span in this house, then it will stand, if there is no span in this one, or it will be nearby, then there may be moments. she admits that she was not sure whether she would be able to return to work, but the city is coming to life and becoming a home for new residents. from mariupol, berdyansk, kharkiv, but the houses, like the cities, were wounded by the war. some houses are still without windows, doors and facades. the most terrible thing was to accept. what you've been doing all your life looks like, every house there, which you know, brick by brick, how it was built, you didn't know if those people who once got their dream home with my help survived, and in some places also the file, what we sell looks like this. kyiv region is recovering, children are walking again in buch

, a house in nemishaevo is being repaired after being hit by a shell, an exotic garden is even being planted there, a new bridge was built across the irpin river, life goes on, but no one will ever be able to forget what happened here in february, march 2022- oh kateryna galko, oskar jansons, espresso tv channel. that's how things are at the moment. the news team is working, we are monitoring what is happening in ukraine and the world, in the next editions we will tell about the most important things, then we will broadcast the fifth session of the ukraine-year 2024 forum called the dimension of war from geopolitics to ideological weapons. upon its completion, there will be a press conference of president volodymyr zelenskyi. follow ether espresso, you will see everything live.

on disinformation and ideological weapons that russia is using against ukraine today. we we encounter this a lot, i think that all journalists, all those who are in one way or another related to the media, all know what we are talking about, and there is no need for a long introduction to explain what we are talking about, we

actually have with russia, there are two fronts , there is our internal ukrainian front, that is, there is... propaganda that is directed directly at ukrainians, at citizens of ukraine who live here, these are certain specific messages that we encounter, and we have a center for countering disinformation in the nsdc, which works with this, there are also some messages that are aimed at more to an external audience, to other countries, these are also messages whose actual purpose is to undermine support for ukraine, and today we will talk about how ukraine can resist these messages in general, what we can do about it, and oleksiy would like myacheslavovych, let's start with you, that is, the nsdc directly, including fighting disinformation, and here's your opinion, what to do about it? thank you, colleagues, for your questions. i would like to start, probably with a little different, not with the operation

of the apparatus, but to ask all of us the question, why february 24, 22nd year. all without exclusively intelligence of all the leading countries, they gave false information, they gave a false analysis of the situation regarding our country, this is a very important message, this is a very important question, unfortunately, few people care to answer it, because when many countries are in an information bubble, that is it's not only our country, it can lead to very... traffic consequences, it's a huge problem for the whole world, it's a huge problem for everyone without exception, and something has to be done about it, it's about... i'll show you one thing, it's the work of the russian center federation for a week in relation to our country. 174,455,836 contacts, here

are the four main topics - the discrediting of the top political leadership of our country, the second topic - the split of the elites, the third - the demoralization of the armed forces of ukraine, and the fourth - the disorganization of our population. 174 million contacts , there are such groups in every country in the russian federation, we have attention number one, poland is in second place , by the way, so you understand, poland told the story that the poles humiliated the ukrainians, here they have a mandatory , that's what we are we see today in relations with our neighbors, you mean a huge contribution, it is the russian... disinformation campaign that makes a huge contribution here, they put it after 2012, when they had the events in bolotne, they put it on the industrial rails, huge thousands of people

are working on these things, and unfortunately they affect not only our country, they are now very powerfully involved in the elections in the european union, they are very powerfully involved in the elections of the united states today and great britain, this is a huge challenge, because in... the father of this work, we have a very dangerous situation with you in europe, and here is the next slide that i wanted to show you, here is korychnev, let's say this, you know, in the second before the second world war there was such an expression, the brown plague, so you can see how many far-right parties supported by the russian federation are already in the second city in europe, we are facing huge challenges, and if society. the world community will not answer this question now, we we will be in an extremely difficult and difficult situation, because in addition to the physical war

that is going on in our territory, there is now a war for the mind, for the brains of people, and unfortunately, why do we constantly emphasize that the issue of personalization of all social networks is mandatory, because when you don't know who you're talking to, they use these technologies. and for climbing, unfortunately , where it is very, very dangerous to climb, but here is a question for you, what do you think, you correctly mentioned the far-right parties, we we really see that they are very much in line, their rhetoric with what russia is saying, what do you think, on the one hand we see that the western world really understands that russia is a threat, and this is already openly recognized in europe, european leaders are saying , that a military conflict is possible, including, but at the same time... parties that have an open interaction with russia, they act, why does this happen, but in your opinion, it's difficult for me to say, it's boring, there is a democracy here, what

kind of , you know, a very, very useful thing, but when these democratic processes are used scoundrels, we have a very, very dangerous situation, as far as far-right movements are concerned, keep in mind the events that took place in our country in 2014, these movements are called nothing but revanchism, ultra-nationalism in our territory, we know for sure with you , what happened in our country in the 14th year, and there are no far-rights, no fascists , they do not exist here at all, we have people who choose freedom, who have honor and dignity, and when we were humiliated in the 13th year in vilnius , our people immediately fought back, but there were a lot of them. countries have been living without war for a long time, they are in such a, you know, satisfied state, and this is a very, very dangerous thing. thank you, mr. danilov, well, unfortunately, we are short on

time, we cannot continue the discussion for a long time, because there are still a number of questions, and then i will pass the floor to the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, mr. dmytro kuleba, please tell me that you are directly in contact , probably with this opposition, and from the side of russia, when you communicate in the international arena, you probably see what kind of narratives... russia uses, and most importantly, here is what ukraine can do with it to act at all, what is your opinion. thank you. well, you have to give credit. russia fights clearly according to the textbook, both physically at the front and in the information field. and this textbook was written 200 years ago in china, sunzi's art of war. sunji, in particular, said that in order to win, you must remain united, unite all your forces. and accordingly. you have to divide the enemy as much as possible, this is what is happening, the main goal of russian narratives now is to divide ukraine from the inside, to sow internal conflicts. and

disconnect ukraine from its allies, from here such a narrative is taken, for example, as fatigue from ukraine, this is the only clear goal there, to separate ukraine and its allies. the narrative takes off weakly, because on the one hand, and unfortunately, the media and various experts play up these stories, because it is such a clickbait headline, but people immediately want to watch, listen, but on the one hand, they talk about being tired of ukraine, and... on the other hand, new packages of defense support are announced, agreements on security cooperation are signed, a number of very large decisions are being prepared that will strengthen support for ukraine, so in general this the argument about being tired of ukraine, i heard it for the first time in the second year of the institute in 1999, and various topics are simply being used for it, but it will not work in any way, the world will not be tired

of ukraine, so the main thing is simple. this is so that smart and stupid people who have access to public channels of communication do not stop spreading this story, so the first, the first narrative that russia promotes is this fatigue, and secondly, it is aimed at external disunity, the key story , which will be dispersed to the russians for internal purposes separation, this is the theme of the elections in ukraine, we... already see their efforts, and by the way, it works, they are trying to disperse this story at the international level, so that the political and political forces mentioned by oleksiy myacheslavovych are now the main bearers of the argument that ukraine is not a democratic country because it does not hold elections, this is also a story with which one must

work very carefully and, but decisively correctly, competently. because the russians will continue to pump it up, what is happening in poland is an obvious russian trace, and also the goal is very it's simple, play up the situation in order to split, that's why, how to counteract, firstly, preserve the unity within the country with the allies, rebuke what happened in kyiv yesterday, visits, decisions, this is exactly the cement of unity, secondly, it is necessary. .. work every day for a result, when weapons will arrive in ukraine every day, when sanctions packages will be adopted, frozen assets will be transferred, i can ukraine, i can continue this list, when every day there will be decisions, these decisions will knock out resistance from under russia , we are working on these solutions, we will get these decisions, you all see them in the news, we are absolutely capable of defeating russia, and she has not succeeded in destroying us and will not succeed,

but we must... stay united, thank you, thank you very much, then we can discuss this question, this narrative with mr. vasyl vasiliyovych malyuk, the head of the sbu, it probably refers more to some kind of internal demoralization, russia is also directing certain efforts to this, yes, it is exactly these disinformation campaigns that the sbu is probably also facing, can you specify which ones now here are the main narratives. and to what extent is ukraine capable of resisting this? thank you. good afternoon, dear colleagues, this is only one of the directions of our activity, what you say, so i will dwell on it separately, so as not to take it out of the context of everything that the security service of ukraine is currently doing. i will be as short and concise as possible, given that we do not have much time. you have to understand that

the war has been going on for two years now, and in fact, our employees are working in the most ... difficult locations, and today it is not just a task there or functional duty, in fact, this is our great mission and our real hysterical responsibility. today, the security service of ukraine works both in the air and at sea, and on the front line, and behind enemy lines in the temporarily occupied territories and behind enemy lines in the territory of the russian federation. i will briefly dwell on individual directions. i'll start with the naval component, it was an overriding task of the supreme commander, there was also a corresponding solution to the stake, so we created several interesting new developments, namely two surface drones, one of them - see baby, it's our flagship, it's basically a multi-purpose platform, and right now we're...
