it was on independence day that they came here to remember our heroes who gave their lives so that we could live in a free country. actually, let's hear the direct speech now. there are two of our boys from chernivtsi who we buried here, they are oleksandr shcherbanyuk and aksenin vasyl, these are our boys from chernivtsi who died here on the same days when the assault took place. sasha died when he went out to the barricade with a bible, reading from the bible. stich, the bullet hit, and vasyl was already dead. later from a serious injury in the hospital, we then buried them in nashchernivtsi, well, actually, the revolution of dignity united ukrainians in the same way as today the war against the enemy has united them, and

to earn it, to have it, my goal was to survive and create something. will come out just before the day. dependence, today is the day of the flag, and i am very pleased that the national bank has chosen this particular coin in order to completely immortalize exactly the plontanism that the maestro gave us ivan marchuk. in this case, both sides are saturated with a very complex and interesting image, and everything else, attributes, are brought out as much as possible. there on the wound, that is, two planes are completely open for creativity. 25-year-old hero of ukraine. three years ago, ivan chornyi lived in poland and did not imagine himself in the army, and on

june 28, 2024, the president of ukraine signed a decree awarding the senior soldier the highest degree of distinction with the title of hero of ukraine with the awarding of the order of the golden star. above all, our anna will tell the story of a young man who sacrificed his homeland morozova. study abroad, football, travel and work. ivan chornyi, a native of poltava region, left all this behind when he read the first news about the shelling of ukraine. okhtyrka, she was already bombed there, it is dozens of kilometers from her relatives, and i could not afford to just tell him on the phone, stay there, everything will be fine, even there... i was not thinking about whether to go there or not, i decided all my affairs and packed his things and went to ukraine, like everyone else, he stood in line at the tsk, and the boy was not accepted immediately, because he had no experience of military service at all, later mobilized to the tro brigade, several months of training and protection of facilities, and then

redeployment to donetsk region in january 2023 . i was assigned to a reconnaissance, reconnaissance tactical group, we adopted our own. the battle in the village of paraskovivka against the wagners, the most difficult thing i was personally so worried about so as not to be framed, so that at the expense of my actions, god forbid, someone did not lose their life, but this is what i really worried about, the general fighting spirit gave us strength go through everything with minimal losses, complete the task, to hold their positions, not to give a single centimeter of their land to the enemy. next, the maryinka and avdiivka districts, where ivan admits, were the most difficult. to clear a minefield, such a task was set when ivan the black was already a member of the engineering company, it had to be done under direct fire and in front of the nose of the enemy who was hiding in funnels or behind broken equipment, there was an idea to distract the enemy at the expense of a drone, it was all successful ,

the guys from the aerial reconnaissance distracted him, i managed to jump behind the squint, the enemy, one of the nearest fortifications, which... were located before us, and waited a little, then destroyed the first group of four there, my friend helped me destroy the fourth. ivan adds, it took approx. 50 units of equipment, part of which was destroyed by our artillery, but the people were exhausted from two days of intense shelling and constant fighting. in the afternoon, we took one russian prisoner, a friend helped me, and even later, when it got dark, according to his information, he said where there were and could be enemies, it was about one, but we went there, it was 200 meters in the field from ours positions, and four more russians were captured there . ivan and his brother oleksandr hunted the so-called black hussars. upon arrival at the headquarters

, a personal videotape of commander-in-chief valery zaluzhny and a message that the 25-year-old will receive the highest state award, the hero of ukraine, were waiting for ivan chorny. on july 15, 2024 , the president presented the award to the senior soldier. all these awards, let's say, can be worn when all the boys are at home. the end of the war will be when everyone is at home and everyone. territories, absolutely all will be returned, physically, it is very difficult, that is why we need strong diplomacy here and we have to press diplomatically to return all territories and absolutely all our boys, all children, all women, they were taken away forcibly. ivanochorny was offered a transfer to the tenth separate mountain assault brigade edelves. he was trained as a uav operator, but after returning to the combat zone , he was injured. according to the conclusion of the medical commission. berlin can work in public parts, but at the moment he does not see himself there, so

he is looking for an opportunity to serve closer to his brothers and to be useful for the armed forces of ukraine in the future. anna morozova, bohdan pryskorov from poltava for espresso tv channel. i have all the news for now, see you at 10 o'clock. well, gentlemen, let's go back to this festive day, the day when ukrainians celebrate, celebrate the day of independence, the day of independence, which is being fought today in a difficult war, at a high cost, and now no one will say, you know, that the ukrainians fell independence, you know, from heaven, and that it was not paid a high price for it, but it was probably also us, you know, such, such a price for the fact that... we did not understand the connection, for example, with the ukrainian people's republic, we did not feel the price paid for it, for example, by those

people who created this independence more than 100 years ago, how difficult the conditions were for them, and i will remind you that the majority of the world did not support them then, only a part of our current allies supported them, it was germany, austria, well, and it was connected with the fact that, in fact, in fact , europe itself was then divided, unfortunately, like this , well, well, andriy is waiting for us kramchenko, editor-in-chief of social donbass, mr. andriy, i congratulate you on independence day and in principle, i congratulate you on this day, the day of independence of you and your viewers, which now, are you in donbas now, i am now in the dnipro, in the dnipro, oh, so , as today's independence day feels like a holiday in the dnipro, every day feels like a holiday when we are alive, so it's a holiday, er, that is... you know, the joy of this holiday has been lowered,

let's say so, that is, we, i, too, felt it very much, you know, when a month before russian of a large-scale invasion, i was in kyiv, at a concert, it was exactly, it seems, 40 days after the death of the mayor barbara, and in honor of the mayor there was a concert in kyiv and... i suddenly felt very strongly that the war was inevitable, and listening to this song, it's cold, but, do you remember, maybe this song, we were doing well, and there the words are original, but there is an interwoven passage, it seems, from andruhovich's moskoviyada, where it goes, and suddenly i understand that this whole country for 30 years then, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere we wanted it to change faster, somewhere we wanted she was less similar. already to russia, to sovok , and so on, but in that it was valuable, it was not bad, it was native,

so, and today it turned out that ukrainians were ready to fight for this independence, in spite of everything, it turned out that it seems to me that it was a big surprise for putin, did it turn out to be a surprise for you, for example, it didn’t turn out at all, in our country, i’m from sumy, at the entrance to the region, by the way, in russian... it’s written sumyshchyna guerrilla region, i don’t i really understand what they were counting on when invaded through sumy oblast, marched in columns to kyiv, it could only end. what ended up, they were burned with everything that was available, i do not undertake to predict what would have happened if sumy oblast at the beginning of the russian invasion had a sufficient number of simple grenade launchers, i am not talking about javelins or inlavs, simple rp-7s there or rp-22 with the appropriate number of shots, i don't know

what would happen to these columns, now the situation in donbas is difficult, the enemy is advancing, approaching pokrovsk, and now many are writing about the fact that this can change very much the front itself, and ukraine may lose in general, the donetsk region, how, how are you, what are your moods, you are constantly there, you are involved there, you communicate with people, who is now in slavyansky, who is now in kramatorsk, who the mood is there, i spent this whole week in pokrovsk and mirnograd, because now... from a third to a half of the assaults that are per day on the front line, they are directed precisely in the direction of pokrovsk, they rush to the pokrovsk-kostyantynivka highway, which is called sometimes even the road of life, because it feeds the whole of this, well, the whole of donetsk the front, you can say, and now the russians

are trying to block this route, because logistics is the key to the war, we were in myrnograd, we watched the city rapidly emptying, if only a month and a half ago, it was such, well, deep rear, you can say , yes, by the standards of the donetsk region, the war was somewhere there, there in the chasevoy yar region on the one hand, in the kurakhovo region, ugledar, then pokrovsky myrnograd is the west of the donetsk region, and still there were rear towns, but now they have ceased to be rear, peaceful. the hail rapidly empties, if there is until there were 52,000 residents at the time of the full-scale invasion, now there are about 10 left, of which a little more than 300 are children, and this number is constantly decreasing, people leave both in their own transport and in some buses organized by the government or

volunteer charities, two neighborhoods of the city of myrnograd have already been closed for tivy. these are the western microdistrict and microdistrict 58, there is no communication, there is no electricity, there are single families staying in high-rise buildings, but we watched how the benefactors took out the grandmother and she was already in the evening ordered this evacuation, and then she fell into her own apartment and could not get up, she called for help, but there was no one to help her, because all the apartments around were empty. no one heard her, this is the situation there, shops are closing, remaining goods are being sold, the new post office has closed, the authorities are already working on the phone, that is, everything is set up so that people leave there, the curfew there is now from 3 p.m.

, that is, from 3 o'clock in the afternoon to 11 o'clock in the morning, there are only four hours in the day when... well some institutions can function, the new post office worked until the end, they tried to give people the opportunity to take out some of their property, but the branch in merinograd has already closed, the city is turning into a wasteland right before our eyes, you can constantly hear the work of artillery, both enemy and ours, well, that's the atmosphere depressing i would say. i understand that when the invasions took place there on february 22, for example in the sumy region, when the enemy suddenly found himself just under sumy already and or traziv for example, they are already, they are already driving through the streets of bucha, and there absolutely peaceful, which did not even think that it

would ever be possible, and suddenly people had to abandon everything, leave and run away and... but the situation, for example, in the same myrnograd, despite the name, and people have been living there for 10 years, i i think, understanding that this can happen, and now it is happening, what kind of mood prevails in them, do they blame someone for what is happening to them, well, i heard from the residents, i only heard accusations against putin, and about that they were more or less ready for it, were not ready, even in in the donetsk region, the war was until... far from morinograd, it happened, the war approached the city after the breakthrough of the russian troops near ochereten, when one of the brigades left their positions and became, well, the breakthrough of the front took place and... the brigades, which are called fire brigades , which eliminate the breakthroughs, they had to occupy the defense in a clear field and somehow try to stop the enemy, and now, after all

, the russian military is still directly concentrating its efforts in this direction, now the battles for novogrodivka, which we, well, another month, have already begun that's why we filmed, people were walking around the city, children were walking, art was already roaring, but the city was still functioning. and insurgents are already flying through the streets, the fighting for the city has already started there, that is, you don’t really notice it there, except that together with some ukrainian military, they are also rushing in the direction of myrnograd, if you divide the pokrovsky direction, there are several such sub-directions, and the russian military is trying to advance along each of them in order to get out. as i already said, on the road of life to the pokrovsk track kostyantynivka, in order to complicate all the logistics of the group that defends the donetsk region in

other directions, in the ughledar direction, in the kramatorsk direction, in the kramatorsk direction, they are trying to reach the heights near chasovoy yar in order to take control of the so-called kramatorsk agglomeration, that is , the cities of kramatorsk, slov yansk druzhkivka, kostiantynka, oleksiivka, druzhkivka, which are located in the river valley, and chasiv is located on the ridge that goes north, that is, if the russian military manages to cross the channel and take control of chasiv the ravine, where the defense is quite strong, is so fortified, and there is this obstacle in the form of a canal, but there are two sections where the sivorskyi benets-donbass canal passes through a pipe. by land and where there is actually no such artificial obstacle, they are now trying to storm in this direction, as well as active assaults in

the ughledar direction, well, in fact, no matter what, now it has become easier only in the zaporizhia direction, where, according to russian sources, part of the troops was transferred to ... to eliminate the ukrainian offensive in the kurva region of the russian federation. now the situation is not easy, it looks difficult, and i remember the first time i came to slavyanskyi, it was a long time ago, really, long ago, somewhere, probably somewhere in the fifth, in the sixth year, 2000, and already a long time ago, and i remember that it was very uncomfortable for me to speak ukrainian on the street , because people did not react well to it and

i was simply literally advised, for example, not to have dinner in a local cafe, but they literally said, don't you leave here, yes and but when i visited after like slovyansk in the early days days were released in the 14th year, i... felt that the city was already completely different, already, already, changes were already taking place, the way slavyansk is now, is it still russian, pro-russian, i mean, is it already now a completely ukrainian city, what are the residents like, what are their moods? look, i didn't conduct any sociological research, of course, but it's purely subjective, from my own experience i don't feel any problems in communicating in ukrainian, sometimes people answer you in russian, or if you shoot some... heroes, they ask for permission there them to speak russian, but i have never observed an aggressive reaction to the ukrainian language, and again, from my subjective

observations, people who have been in the occupation are very different from those who have not been, that is, in relation to the ukrainian military, in relation to before the war, those who spent at least a couple of weeks in the russian occupation understand what and for what the ukrainian army is fighting. mr. andriy, the very end, today's independence day, you know, everyone understood that ukraine should be independent, and that such an absolute value, in 1991, 90% voted for it, in the 22nd year, the survey showed that 90% called independence an unconditional value in all regions, that is, it is some kind of fixed thing, but independence is, it is for something, it for... in order to have some kind of country of your own, if you would like to add a couple more

adjectives after independent ukraine, then so that... you would add ukraine, it is an independent and democratic, legal state with economic freedoms, that is, it is not unregulated economy, economy, free enterprise, free such space for creativity and to earn money, so that the state does not take care of the citizen, but the state gave, gave me the freedom to earn, create and make my country like this. i want to see her, i couldn't have said it better, so mr. andriy, if you will found a party in the elections, i will vote for you, andriy kramchenko, thank you, that's it, mr. andriy, thank you, andriy kramchenko, editor-in-chief of social sumy, was with us, dear friends, before we go on a break, i remind you about our collection, do not miss it, let's on this holiday, it will be our congratulations on the independence day of ukraine,
