the armed forces of ukraine cannot yet completely stop the creeping advance of the russian army, if the plan of the russian command has obviously failed in the kharkiv region, then in the pokrovsky direction, in the area of ​​chasovoy yar, and now also near toretsk, it is not possible to stabilize the front line. it is not yet clear how many more reserves remain in the russian army to continue advancing, but it is obvious that losing people at such a rate is endless. and technique is impossible. these were donbas realities. i'm yaroslav krechko, see you soon. the picturesque skhidnytsia in the lviv region is a well-known balneological resort not only in ukraine, but also in the world. mineral water flows here simply from mountain springs. tourists come to relax, breathe in the clean mountain air of the carpathians and receive treatment. a village spread out 15 km from the exit. maidan, bordering

the skolivsky biskydy national nature park, a nature reserve with unique flora and fauna, locals have always respected such a neighborhood, visitors also appreciate it, this is oleksandr isakov from lviv. he and his family live seasonally in this wooden house a house purchased in the maidan more than two decades ago. we bought that plot sometime in 2004, we first bought a small house, restored it, it was a shack, and then we bought it. oleksandr tells about the plot, once in 2021, when he was resting in his house with his wife and children, a man came to him and offered to sell real estate and land, mr. oleg prots approached me and wanted to buy my plot, i did not want to to sell, because we are already used to it here, well after all, having stayed here for 20 years, we are already fed up with that place, the man continues, a very low and absolutely non-market price was offered for the house and the land, he generally offered a few pennies, that is...

there was no criticism at all, that is, what he offered, he said that he bought everything around at a very cheap price, so he wanted me to sell it to him for those pennies. the situation worsened during the full-scale war, not agreeing to sell his property for nothing, the man began to receive threats. we did not agree on the price, after which mr. oleg threatened me that then administrative pressure would be applied to me. oleksandr learned from the police that oleg prots is a former notorious prosecutor who bought luxury cars during his service and transferred from one. tours to another, and he also coordinated a kind of gestab-24, one of the volunteer organizations to which the lviv ova granted the largest number of permits to leave through the shlyah system. in 2023, ex-prosecutor oleg prots founded this nature park and became the owner of a large recreation complex in maidan village on shevchenko street next to oleksandr isakov. there was light on the territory of the base to the house. they cut off my light, they deliberately cut it off, then some people appeared who came here for...

colics, who painted the territory here with some paints, later, according to oleksandr, people's deputy from the servant of the people ostab shepailo began to appear on the territory of the recreation complex and his father igor. mr. ihor shepailo, i found out later, i did not know, the security introduced him to me, that this is a new the manager, i came up, we got to know each other, and i said that i am a resident of this house, then the quarrel continued, then a year later a barrier appeared on the road leading to the skolivski beskydy national park, neither oleksandr nor other local residents four s ... could not pass or pass this way, although the road to the reserve is a state road, and no hotel owner has the right to block it. along the road that we constantly passed, it was blocked by a gate and there was already a sign - private territory. igor lesovets, an eco-activist from lviv promotes a healthy lifestyle, and prykarpattia and skhidnytsia, in particular, are his favorite tourist destinations. he was in for a big surprise when he saw last year that the road to the skolivski baskids reserve was closed. we constantly practice as much as possible with...

of course, we went to the mountains, whether it was for mushrooms, or just walks, tourist routes, and we did not discover, we put, we were put in front of the fact, because we came and we just had a road blocked about the illegal blocking of the ihor road, together with others ecoactivists reported to law enforcement agencies. criminal proceedings were opened for the fact of arbitrary seizure of the land plot. it was established that on a public road leading from a territorial highway of state importance. skhidnytsia pisochna sliding metal gates have been installed to the object of the nature reserve fund. there is a sign on the said sliding metal gate with the inscription "private property". entry is strictly prohibited. the initiator of the cover-up had access to the road to restore and ecological cruelty did not stop there. recently, local residents and activists saw the owners of the resort pumping water for their private lake and other needs from water bodies in the forests of the national reserve. having passed more. then on the territory, we

saw that their borders end much faster than the water intake where they take water, on this map the mesh is marked in red. private recreation complex of ex-prosecutor oleh prots and much higher in the forest on the territory of the reserve is the stream from which the pipes go. during the journalistic investigation, we discovered a whole operational pumping station and many such pipes in many places of the skolivski beskydy national reserve. thereby they also disturbed the natural course of the stream, i.e. they displaced it. ihor lesovets sent a request to the state agency of ukraine's resources to find out what permits he actually received. of oleg prots recreation complex for use of reservoirs of the reserve. the department provided the documents, however, the eco-activist has doubts about theirs credibility they seem to have a special permission to use it, but it is based on fabricated references. here is the first

certificate issued by the head of the neighboring village of rybnyk. we see the strange date of march 23 without specifying the year, as well as the signature of former chairman yaroslav paraschak. the man has not been in office since 2020. second reference. generally dated 2016. we will remind you that oleg provets nature park was founded in 2023. after the start of our journalistic investigation, strange things began to happen in cadastral maps as well skhidnytskyi territorial community. at the place of the stream, where the violators organized the illegal withdrawal of water. a new yellow clone area has appeared. in terms of shape and size, it resembles oleg prots' plot and his recreation center. however, by clicking on it, it is impossible to see either the cadastral number or the category, nor to find out the owners. according to the cadastral... there are changes and we assume that there is also land seizure, privatization, in what way, maybe they just take them over, maybe they forge documents, do they know about it in state land department, we contacted

andrii kavetskyi, the head of the main department of the state geocadaster in the lviv region, by the way, the sbi suspects him of illegal distribution of land in several communities of the lviv region, it is about recreational land , andrii volodymyrovych, afternoon, good afternoon, you journalists of espresso tv channel are bothering you, law enforcement agencies suspect you of illegal distribution of recreational land in lviv region. this is not true, these are agricultural land plots, this is a matter it was closed six times by different prosecutors, and it was opened again in the 21st year and suspicion was given. did you know that on the cadastral map within the boundaries of the skolivskyi bezkydi reserve , yellow plots of clones without a cadastral number and designation appear near the private territory. of the recreation complex owned by oleh prots, this is the first time i'm hearing this, if you have any facts, write a request, we will refer it to law enforcement agencies. do you have connections with oleg prots, a former prosecutor, and ostap shepail, an acting people's deputy from the servant of the people? authoritatively i declare that i do not know these names or these

people and have never met them. we also passed on the information received during the journalistic dissemination to the head of the skhidnytskyi territorial community, ivan pilyak. as it turned out, about road closures and disconnections. the man knows about electricity, but he does not know about land and environmental violations, as well as who currently owns the recreation base in the village of maidan, and how the new owners of the base dispose of the national reserve, with complaints about the arbitrariness of the council to the law enforcement officers. they had to fight in the police, and not to me, i, too, cannot make any decision on that issue, and i have no right, i am not authorized. the head of the community has no powers, instead , the state agency for water resources and the state geocadaster have strange powers, which issue permits on the basis of dubious and expired documents. without the intervention of journalists , they do not even suspect changes in the cadastral maps, does it all happen just like that without pressure and administrative influence, the life process of this base is handled by the father, that is igor shepailo, that is the father of the people

deputy, although he does not go through the documents here, well, but he is here almost constantly, he oversees, and uh, that's all, ours. deputy ostap shipal and the official owner of the recreation complex oleg prots are associated with membership in the ternopil regional organization of the servant of the people party since 2018. then, as the wife of oleg prots tetyana, after the election of ostap shipayl, people's deputy of ukraine, she became the owner of as many as four of his companies, working in particular in the raw materials of advertising and energy. in the village of maidan, we met the father of the servant of the people ihor shypail and we did not manage to communicate. instead, the presence of the shipals at the recreation base was confirmed by one of the employees, however, he noted that... it was that year, i'm sorry, are you an employee of the base? and tell me, please, have you seen a fan of igor shipailo or ostap here for a long time? no, i don’t see, well, they weren’t there that week, i don’t know how, maybe on some second shift,

they weren’t there on my shift, they weren’t on your shift, but in general they are here, what, what did i see there that year autumn or whatever, everything indicates. on what has become shipailo may be a shadow co-owner and manager of the recreation complex, but he does not want to advertise it due to restrictions related to the powers of the people's deputy. we tried to contact mr. shepail to talk to... about business and environmental violations, called, sent a journalistic request and many text messages, and communication with us was ignored by the servant of the people. only the grandmother of the people's deputy was found at home, who confirmed that the shipal family is actually in the basement. and how do i know, i know that tanya is in the girl with this, with her husband, in the girl's room, she with her husband, yes, yes, they are coming, they will only bring me food and that's all. instead, to prosecutor oleg protsyuna. i managed to get through, hello, oleg yaroslavovych,

and if you can call me back, because i'm on the road, for what reason? it's the journalists of the tv channel that are bothering you, but i would call back, i'm on the road, it's not very convenient, thank you, fine, thank you, we're waiting for your call, the predicted promised return call from oleg procy never happened, moreover, the ex-prosecutor and the official owner recreation centers in the village maidan blocked our phone number. for almost a year that has passed since the illegal intervention in the power supply system of oleksandr isakov's house. his electricity supply was never restored. where we did not apply, we also wrote to lyuvybobelenergo-complaint, we called hotlines, there was no response at all. of course, this does not affect any thoughts, where the legs grow. suffered from the neighborhood with a scandalous recreation complex, the man was forced to install solar panels. in this way, it receives light and has the ability to pump water on its own area meanwhile, a private lake on the territory

of the hotel, which is managed by an ex-prosecutor, and possibly the family of a people's deputy, still lives from the forest waters of the skolivski beskydy national reserve due to dubious permits. and if it is not difficult to find a common language with the state water agency and the state geocadaster in the vertical of power, then the recalcitrant neighbors can always be silenced by pressure and blackmail. events events that are happening right now and affect our lives, of course, the news feed reports about them, but little is known, what is happening must be understood. antin borkovskii and invited experts soberly assess events, analyze them, modeling our future, every saturday at 1:10 p.m., with a repeat on sunday at 10:10 a.m. studio zahid with anton borkovsky at espresso. journalist who joined the armed forces, political expert who became a special agent, taras berezovyts in a new project on espresso. the real front

is a thorough analysis of the main events. reports, comments of leading specialists and experts. analytics from the major of the armed forces. how to deal with disturbing news and distinguish truth from hostile ipso. the real front program with taras berezovets, on saturdays at 21:30 on espresso. friends, i welcome you, today we will talk about the odesa film festival, which started in kyiv. in general, you know, last year we talked about the odessa film festival, which took place in chernivtsi. last year, chernivtsi generally became such a place of pilgrimage for our cinematographers, because first the mykolaychuk open festival took place there, which actually always takes place there, and then the organizers. odessa film festival, they obviously saw that chernivtsi is a good place to hold the odessa

film festival there as well, because we understand that it is not very obviously appropriate to hold it in odessa now, and that is why everything happened in chernivtsi, and this year we have everything in kyiv, from one on the one hand, i'm glad, because it's right next to me, at least i don't have to go all the way to odesa, on the other hand, i really love odesa and odesa cinema. the festival was just so always atmospheric, precisely because it was in odessa, because there is a sea there, because there are all these chips and the showing of tapes on the stairs, i don’t know if in this will happen in kyiv, but now we will ask the director of the film festival anna machuk about it, if she is already in our contact, i see you, ana, hello, hello, congratulations, yes, i know, something is opening yes . and everything is very much planned by you, yes, so we quickly talk and talk about, probably,

the most interesting thing that will take place at the film festival, but first i will ask, in general, if the festival is not held in odessa, then we understand that it is impossible now, why it is kyiv and why, well, other places are not suitable, because personally i am always very worried about our regions, which constantly do not add something to them in the sense of culture, kyiv gets everything. but somehow it turns out that the organizers really think that everything should be held in kyiv, why not cherevnivtsi this year and why kyiv? well, in fact, we, as the odessa film festival, are very...supportive of all festivals that are held in regions that are recovering, that are held in small, large cities, in regional centers, and we ourselves would like to return to odessa, to such a southern capital of ukraine, but kyiv , in terms of security, is still more protected, it feels more

protected, although the events of the last week have shown that it is not so protected, but also the second, of course... the reason is logistical, after all, we are an international film festival, we invite many international guests, and judging by how to get to which cities, it is much faster to get to kyiv than to many other cities, even border ones, so this year we decided to hold the odesa international film festival in kyiv, with hopes that the victory will come very quickly and next year we will be able to to return to our native city of odessa, and... what about foreign guests, they normally agreed to come here, because i know that some refuse, if we talk about other international events, and some normally say, we will come to kyiv, we we are not afraid, how was your arrangements? exactly the same story and we understand it perfectly, that is , we sent invitations to a large number

of foreign guests, of course a lot of them refused, refused for two reasons, one reason is of course ... danger, the other the reason is that many wanted to come, but their contracts, for example, for shooting films, they provide for full insurance, against absolutely all risks, including the risks of war, and we in ukraine cannot provide this, because we have the risk of war every day for 10 years already, the last years of a full-scale war, so of course many of those who wanted to, even they could not come, because after all, everyone in the world is wonderful. understand what is happening now in ukraine, how about such a persistent issue, i don't know, glamor, i don't know because the red carpet is always, and the closing ceremony, the opening, it's always for almost all festivals, okay, not for all, but for almost all it's a very important component, because in the media there are different photos, stars in

dresses, it's very good for that our cinematographers once again shine there. some kind of media, but at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, i constantly see this criticism that how can you, now is the war, you are dressed up on your red carpets, that is , this is also a double situation, how important is this criticism and this opinion in general, well for you for the odesa film festival, because i know the organizers of the event, who say, well , listen, we've decided so, we're making the red carpet, we're making it less glamorous, pompous, as usual, but this is a mandatory stage. and how will you have all this with the glamorous things? we don't have glamorous things, first a full-scale invasion and we don't have a red carpet this year, actually the idea was to do a partial red one out of respect for the work of cinematographers for those works that are presented at the film festival, but we refused, of course we will have a photo booth, and

there will be a black carpet, but definitely not a red carpet, we are a red carpet. we will return our one-hundred-meter square near the opera house when, after all, there is a victory in ukraine. and of course, there are a lot of questions about whether there will be parties at the odessa film festival, there will be no parties either, that is, the film festival is primarily dedicated to the demonstration of ukrainian and foreign films, the industrial program of discussion of the most important issues for the industry, for its development, and of course honoring and remembering and our heroes, and those who is now, support for those who are now on the front lines. and would like to make a film, but do not have such an opportunity, that is, the film festival is, first of all, a professional event. yes, i will say right away that to people who, perhaps, no, do not go to various events, we have a lot of musical events, various concerts, almost always, almost at every such event, auctions and meetings are held, it is definitely mentioned there military, that is , these are now events that are also

necessarily included in the war, anya, then let's talk, of course , about films that our viewers will be able to look. in your program, here at espresso we traditionally pay attention to ukrainian films, there will be a lot of them, and this year you have a lot of retrospectives, films that you can see, that you have known about for a long time, but you have them being able to watch on the big screen is a completely different feeling, but please tell me why there are so many of ours in the program , well, i don’t know if you can call it classic, old films, films, retrospective films, and a little less new ones, because we have fewer new films is released, or is this a concept this year? well, this year's concept of the film festival, since we are 15 years old, we remember the history of modern ukrainian cinema, the cinema of the years of independence, and from the very beginning we decided to form a program of the best ukrainian films, which

were already appreciated both at film festivals and by the audience, i apologize, i will say to the directors, we can now show these films in the festival program, so that the audience will recognize them, you will talk about them, and the audience will recognize excerpts, yes, yes, thank you, that is eh. it's not that, it's the movie crazy, i'm sorry, we have a festival program called, please show me exactly this video, which is called a festival program, and well, it's important that people understand, yes, that we will to show, yes anya, please continue, please excuse me, yes, and we actually had a lot of requests, every year and as for the odessa film festival, as for the ukrainian film academy, and where you can watch this or that ukrainian film, and that's why this is solution to show. on the big screen again those films that have already been rated high viewers, it was with us from the very beginning, and of course, the second reason, you

voiced it, we really shoot much less new ukrainian films, and i think that we have collected in our program almost all game movies that were shot, finished during the past year and this year, and the audience will be able to watch it for the first time, premieres of ukrainian films, well... of course, an international program, that is, we have an international program, we have a lot of premiere films, and as in the festival of festivals program, that is, these are the films that have already been celebrated at festivals, but they are unlikely to appear in the box office in ukraine, and the gala premieres, that is, these are the films that the ukrainian distributors will release for the box office, but the ukrainian viewer has such a unique opportunity to see these films for the first time in odesa film festival, so i invite all viewers there who wanted to watch ukraine. cinema on the big screen, join in, buy tickets, if you are able to see many films during the festival, buy season tickets,

because part of the funds from all the tickets sold and subscriptions will also be sent to the children of heroes charity fund, and of course we encourage all our guests and viewers not only to buy tickets, but also to donate to this fund, we will show all the details, because now... this is very important, we all , everything we do and the film festival, it is all aimed first of all at our victory, so this is also our contribution, so i see a good video, very well done, that’s me, i chose all my favorite films, i advise everyone, i i don't know if i will be able to watch them again, a lot of i really watched them and there will be, and atlantis, it seems, will not be, but we talked about the fact that due to ... certain conflicts with distributors with arthouse traffic, yes, they said that they do not allow you to show already 15, it seems, those tapes were selected, there were eight, there were, in fact

, we approached them a long time ago, a few months ago for other films, they immediately put forward conditions to which we could not agree, and about those eight tapes, which we have already announced that they still have exclusive rights, we found out, in fact practically. it's no coincidence that we were simply informed that we would be sued, although the producers gave all their consent, so it's a really unpleasant situation and it's a pity that the ukrainian distributor behaved like this in this situation, but the program is still not much from this decreased, that is, they still missed one film and we have seven very cool, high-quality iconic ukrainian films less, and i will also tell our dear ones. that you can watch a large part of ukrainian cinema legally on our online platforms, thank you by god, it already exists, because a number of years ago, viewers went there, looking for

places to watch ukrainian cinema for money, but it was nowhere to be found, now it is, but still a big screen, it is a big screen, if if you are in kyiv, then definitely find time for this screening, but as for non-retrospective films, and for new ones, i think that one of the most anticipated films of yours is... good god, because there are already many recommendations, i see there, my friends are talking about how this is a cool movie, go tell me, please, it's about punitive psychiatry, it's just the topic that many people are interested in right now, the sixties, this is a topic that a lot of people are interested in right now, but please tell me what is interesting about this film, because now we will turn on the trailer and the picture there is already interesting, tell me more, well, i will say this, in fact, all the films in the national competition program are very interesting, ah, and our selection committee did such a good job in selecting, i personally highly recommend

attending a screening of this film. then be sure to watch it in movie theaters at the box office, because actually, ah, i love it i also refer to those films that are about the war, why, because it shows, in fact, what soviet russia is like, what methods are used, these methods have not changed, in many ways they have become even worse, well , such immersion, immersion in our story, that is, the debut work of the director denys tarasov, i hope that this is... only his first work in a full-length feature film, and we will be able to see many more of his films on the big screens, by the way, we can now an excerpt from this movie to watch, let's let's see what the soviet government, the best government in the world, you know, it's not so bad here, as you said, almost in a sanatorium.

well, i would also like two words for you to say about gray bees, i understand that there are many more ukrainian films that deserve attention, we just can't, here i chose something that is simply talked about a lot , that's why that gray bees are a... dmytro moiseev's work for this, well, i don't know if you can call it a film adaptation or a work based on the book, because there is still a difference, i haven't seen the film yet, but he took part in festivals, i have already seen such positive reviews, it is based on andriy kurkov's book, it talks about a gray zone in which two men live, completely different with different views, but they have to communicate somehow, let's see an excerpt right away. and pashka

is already so happy, there is nothing to eat , they don’t drive me a humanitarian worker at night, and they don’t drive me either, well, who will you be, well, i’m a military man, and i can see it, well, before the war, i already thought, they forgot about us, but no, again. gray area there, gray area here, that there, that also say two words about this film, maybe here, oh, they are playing this badminton, and anya, maybe you can determine, i don’t know, the target audience, it’s an author’s film, yes, it’s not, it’s not a mass film, who it is possible to like it, well, i think that almost every ukrainian who now has the emotional and moral strength to

actually watch it can like it. films about the war, about the gray area, and to be honest, i also saw only fragments, we have a very large program, so basically all the films were watched by the selection committee, but the story of this film, the making of it deserves real credit because they started shooting it right before the full-scale invasion began, and the crew was in donbas on that february 24, 2000, 22 and... they continued, they finished shooting, that is, they continued to shoot, already at the end of february 2020, at the end of 2022, that is, in december, they learned and completed it, and for which we thank them very much, that after all, they found the strength and resources in themselves and were among the first to complete this very film, first full-scale invasion, c in any case, it seems to me that every...

ukrainian film deserves attention now, whether at a festival, or at the box office, or on online platforms, or we emphasize once again, please watch, both ukrainian and non- ukrainian films are legal, this is not true it costs a lot, and we must understand that this is the right thing to do, and we have the opportunity, thank god, anya, thank you very much, we let everything go, because i understand what a crazy week it is for the organizers and for the audience, anna machuh , the director of odesa international, was on the air. folk the film festival, which this year takes place in kyiv, for obvious reasons, last year it took place in chernivtsi, we all of course hope that next year it will take place in odesa again, because it is a completely different vibe when the festival takes place there, that's it i would like all cultural events to be held not in kyiv, but more in the regions, but so far we have the following situation:
