lviv with friends, the black sea taste ice cream on the square in kharkiv and fear, the time of courage, the time of struggle, the marathon continues, the only news on social media, i'm with you, anatoliy yarema, as of this minute, an air alert has been announced for almost the entire territory of ukraine, except for rivne, sumy, and kherson oblasts are asked to take shelter and ignore the alarm signals. well, let's move on to the conversation about how foreign journalists are coming to ukraine en masse to tell the stories of our struggle about the media's support for the world, as well as how ukrainian diasporans support their native land. karina bugaichenko talked with the journalist and former ambassador

of ukraine to canada andriy shevchenko mr. andriy, i congratulate you, we are currently in the media center, you are the temporary head of it, i understand, yes, very interesting the concept is from below the popes and to the floors above, journalists are gathered, briefings are held, and the main information comes from here, you can say look at the information - it is a weapon today, and ukraine has learned to wield these weapons as skillfully as our soldiers wield weapons literally at the front , it is very important for us all to win the information war and our team's task is to help ukraine as much as possible. to cope with this task, the creation of such a center was on the surface already in the first days after the beginning of the aggression

lviv has become the main place to work for the gathering of foreign journalists. in the first two weeks , about 900 foreign journalists were trained in lviv, and the lviv city council took very correct steps at the beginning, it was able to implement the journalists correctly, so we could already rely on the work they started to do. it is important to understand that these are initiatives, there was no state money, there was no other money, it was directed money, it was a volunteer initiative of former journalists, active journalists, media, communicators united in order to help ukraine to win and this is what surprises many foreign journalists when they come and say here is an interesting government project, not a sensitive one that appeared from below and this is another example of such a cool ukrainian self-organization when different people united together have done a good joint big

thing. briefings are held here almost every day, and even several international and foreign journalists are directly gathered here, as in this period, more than two months from the beginning of a full-scale invasion how did their opinion about ukraine change in general, what did their questions become radically changed i think that at the beginning it was more sympathy then it is interest i think now that we see it because of the fascination with what is happening in ukraine i think that there is courage and bravery of ukrainians which the whole world has seen in these weeks and months. well, she cannot leave anyone indifferent. we feel it because of the questions of foreign journalists because of the topics they are looking for here.

to believe that ukraine can win this war, and i think that this is simply a colossal change of context, a colossal change of the conversation about ukraine, and we have something to be proud of. what is the merit, or rather, the merit , the merit, first of all, of our soldiers who demonstrate incredible heroism, this is courage and solidarity of all ukrainians who rallied and now all work together on the back, this is political consolidation. because the whole world sees how our politicians are now. they forgot about their wars, quarrels and competitions, they all united, the sun impressive, a very worthy example on the ball to be proud of, has this interest in briefings and information in ukraine not disappeared? what dynamics of the number of journalists do you observe? if we can analyze the interest, of course, it comes in waves and we feel the moments when it rises, when it falls, this is life we live in a world where there is a lot

of news competition between each other. i think that in the long term, of course, we need to think about how we can maintain interests in ukraine for a long, long time. we remember that in the 14th year at first, ukraine was on the front pages of all world publications, but then very quickly it was replaced by other topics, unfortunately, there is a lot of tragedy in this world, a lot of terrible things that will also find their place on the front pages of the publication, but at the moment, it seems obvious to me that at the moment ukraine is the main global topic the main international topic for any journalist who writes about world politics now is a great honor and a great privilege to travel in ukraine and tell your audience what is happening here and that is why our goal we want these journalists to have a comfortable place to work, this is the place where they work, live, literally, this is the place where news is born . when newsmakers come here, they

report various news, and this is also a place where meaning is born, where we think together about what things are most important to convey world, our goal is the journalist who wants to tell his audience about the war in ukraine. we must arm ourselves with all the necessary tools of all the necessary information, that is, this period of habituation, which is called psychology, which already notices in some ukrainians who return home a little change their work directions a little distance from the war that is going on in our country. topics , he becomes deeper when now we, for example, we still have recently had a lecture by the wonderful ukrainian historian yaroslav hrytsak, who explained that in fact this battle between good and evil has not been going on for two

months and not even 8 years, that somewhere something much the more we see that journalists learn to ask deeper questions, it has become important for them to understand the causes of this conflict, the causes of this war, now journalists understand much more the role of ukraine for, for example, food security of the world 20% of the world population will feel the consequences of the war due to the lack of food or due to the fact that prices topics that have now begun to interest journalists will grow on food. you see, we have always dreamed of finding such topics that could interest the world in the country, unfortunately, now it is it is happening under very tragic circumstances, but for ukraine it is a unique chance to tell the world about ourselves such things that under other circumstances we would not have the opportunity to tell, we are using them. yes, even taking into account the 6 years of your work as the ambassador of ukraine in canada, i am convinced that you have acquaintances there friends, diplomats, did they write you something

on february 24, of course. this is a very large wave of human support and well, first of all, of course, there is a powerful ukrainian diaspora in canada, it is millions, 400,000 canadians of ukrainian origin, but canada is sympathizes with ukraine not only because there was a ukrainian diaspora, it is simply a country of good and correct values. they do not need to explain who is right and who is wrong in the war between ukraine and russia. they always knew what was going on or what was the truth, and we feel it very much, therefore canada is definitely one of those countries that have become leaders of the international police in support of ukraine, and i am very pleased to see that ukrainian diplomacy in canada and in many other countries is now producing the results that we see. how quickly the actions took place on the part of the government of canada that began to receive support, you know that at first it was more like a humanitarian one, and only

a little later we already received defense support , there are no weapons here. there is simply no answer to this question , because probably we all have the feeling that canada was not in a hurry to provide weapons for ukraine, they already provided weapons america and great britain, other states of canada were not among these first countries and it will be sad, angry, annoying, but at the same time, you have to understand that there were other things that canada has been doing for many years, starting from the 15th year of canada trained our military, and we had and still have such a free fire mission, and the canadians taught our soldiers , boys and girls, how to save life on the battlefield, how to win, and these are the skills that today help the ukrainian armed forces, well, it happened very long evolution when i came to canada in the 15th year and i remember one of the first interviews, i said that we expect that soon the ukrainians will receive weapons

from canada. you just said, andriy, nothing yet i understand, canada will never give you weapons, it is a peaceful country, it will not do that, it will give money to help with training, training, but not weapons , if there was such a position, because there is a very large diaspora , you all know about what was pressed, it values ​​very much the reputation of a peaceful country in in the world and canada is very expensive in its relations with very different countries and they try not to quarrel once more, but in the case of ukraine, this situation is when the sense of justice that every fan has, it is mainly because of this caution that is why we are now seeing the result is when canada gives ukraine artillery, and this is important, nato-caliber artillery, this is the artillery that is critically important to us for victory , now there is an agreement on the supply of canadian armed transporters, earlier small arms came, these are all those things that were not even discussed in the 15th year that's why i think that canada is a

separate example of how the state's position changes under the pressure of public opinion, because in the 21st century, if we want some government to help us, we need first the public in this country wanted to help help us the government i am now in europe in north america they help us because their voters because their public leaves no chance because when in america more than 70% demand their government to help ukraine with weapons it means four republics or are you democrats well, you can't go against such a powerful public opinion, but the ukrainians managed to melt the heart of a simple person in many countries of the world in this war, this is our biggest view, this is our biggest argument in our diplomacy because informative sometimes which is much more powerful in our country has become very important that i saw living stories here stories of specific people, suffering of specific

people, death of specific people, courage, heroism , feat of specific people, and these are these live stories , these are these, these are the faces of the war, they helped change public opinion in the world and i will say once again that the main merit in this is not an individual journalist or an individual diplomat or even the president. i think that the most obvious merit is the ordinary ukrainians who, by their example with the courage of their illness and their devotion, they impressed how much the world is in this situation, for the leadership of the country, for politicians, for diplomats , it is very important to be worthy of your people, and it seems to me that it is exactly what is happening right now, what can we do to ensure that of course yes, we cannot say for sure what is there to give us more weapons, but considering the current circumstances in our country, the more weapons, the better for us , after all, it is very, very important to explain that, of course, sanctions are necessary and this is a way to exhaust

the russian military machine, of course, ukraine needs financial aid in order to restore our economy, but it is critically possible now that weapons are not just a question of better or worse, it is a question of the physical survival of the ukrainian nation, now that we openly see the genocide against ukrainians, it is a question of physical survival therefore, it is very important for us to explain why weapons, why now, why immediately, and why such weapons that we are asking for, secondly , it is very important for us to explain that it is not putin who is fighting against us, here, unfortunately, the russian people are fighting with us unfortunately, the russian ruling elite is at war, unfortunately , all of russia is at war, this is not the case. where are good generals and bad generals? these are all military terrorists, war criminals, who are now organizing this genocide, and it is very important for us to explain that putin is not only a problem, the source of problems that we now see a lot in what way is it a reflection of the state of russian letters in russian society and therefore it is a russian threat it will be with us for a long time

maybe for decades maybe for generations to come this is another thing that is very important to us now to explain to the world the third thing is to explain that this is a war, the consequences of which will be felt all over the world, whether due to the food crisis or due to security issues, so these are the priorities we currently have in our work. it was from there, and it was also moral support , and it continues to come now, and it is probably this diaspora that is what we said. previously, it influenced the decisions of the government directly, that is what have you seen in canada, in other countries, this is some incredible phenomenal work of the ukrainian ukrainian community or communities, and it is not just some faceless, uh, thousands or hundreds of people, they are activists, everything always starts with a specific

initiative with one person or several people who take up the cause and they do, and it seems to me that in canada it is very important to understand that it is not just the number of ukrainians who are there. these are ukrainians who have been realized in this country, and therefore it is very important that ukraine now tells those ukrainians who have found themselves abroad, the best thing you can do at this stage is to realize yourself in the whole country, it is to be such that ukraine is proud of you, and when you gain respect there, you will gain authority with your actions, your scientific successes, your professional achievements, this means that then your word will be more important and it will be a big help help for ukraine this is what happened in canada what happened in the work of the state statistics that is for an electric bag in 6 years probably even in 10 the number of canadians of ukrainian origin they began to declare their origin more often, and

researchers say that this arose not only because the number of ukrainians in canada increased, but precisely because people began to say that i am ukrainian, i am ukrainian, and if we look at the last 20-30 years, the last wave of emigration, different people someone was looking for a sweet life, but you won't find it there, you have to work hard, someone was looking for fulfillment , very, very different people, and the ukrainian state and ukrainian society treated them differently. let's go, do you think it's people who were afraid of the difficulties here, the war gave these people the opportunity to speak with pride about their homeland and their roots, and the war allowed these people to unite, unite, become visible and make their voice heard, this is a big fundamental change we now we see with our eyes how a new quality of the ukrainian diaspora is being formed

all over the world, these people are active, these people are energetic, these people know what it is like to achieve great results, these people who have learned to influence governments in these countries are an incredible active potential resource for the ukrainian state even after our victory, we need to rely on this resource, we need to make sure that ukraine does not lose communication with these people and we need to make sure that these words about the fact that there are 65 million of us all over the world not just numbers to actually feel like one powerful powerful family that supports each other and is proud of each other can do great things together the federal parliament of canada a month ago supported supported the statement that to introduce a visa-free entry for citizens of ukraine to canada is not a final decision, the government’s decision is still here. even if i hadn’t considered it, it still arrived. why? until

now, over such a long period of time, the ukrainian diaspora is developing, more and more ukrainians are in canada, but still we can’t get it is a very difficult topic. canada is very conservative in matters of migration and visa policy, and this is a case where a decision is made for a very long time, sometimes a decade, but the surge that happened in the last week is a wobbly decision or the recommendation of the federal parliament regarding visa-free travel, well, this is something that we could not even imagine in the last 30 years, but we always believed that it would happen someday, and i remember every time when i was asked about visa-free travel, and i always said that it would happen, it would happen quickly exactly in our lifetime and i remember how many skeptical views there were scripted smiles smiles. it seems to me that it is now obvious that this is a reality and that our two countries will win because we are real allies. we have a huge layer of mutually beneficial projects in

economy we have a water trade in education in science in culture and this is the case where we er we it will definitely be beneficial for our people to be able to travel to each other level this is not a simple story it is a complex story it is not finished yet but i am absolutely sure that we will see a visa-free regime between ukraine and canada and this will be a very important turning point for our countries how can post-war cooperation between ukraine and canada develop not only about canada, i will say about the whole world ukraine now finds itself in a unique position when we will be respected, we will be listened to, we have a unique experience of struggle and soon it will be enough to win over russia, we have a unique experience of economic survival, a unique experience of cooperation , solidarity, and this is what cannot but surprise the whole world, that is why ukraine will be in a very

important unique positions, when they will listen to us, they will ask for our advice, they will try to work with us, to work with us, to be our allies, this window will not be infinitely large, but we must use it. i think that when we let's break through this topic, we are in for a unique period of development of ukrainians, which we could not dream of for a long time. i think that we will see investments and great financial assistance, we will see how ukraine will be happy to fly in various international organizations, we are waiting for a colossal period of growth, god willing we don’t know how to waste it, and god grant that it will start somehow sooner, it will be a well-deserved reward for the country that showed the whole world an amazing example of courage, solidarity, and fighting spirit. i think we can conclude with this. our conversation thank you mr. andriy and i wish all

of us a quick victory you are watching the marathon the only news with you i am anatoliy yaremen i remind you that the entire territory of ukraine is now under threat of shelling except for the occupied kherson region so please stay under cover but our marathon will continue in a few minutes my colleague yevhenii agarkuv the unconquered cities of ukraine are the unique mariupol sea resort, port and metallurgical capital. at the same time, when muscovy deported 18 thousand greeks from the crimea, they settled in the azov region and the town was called mariupol, during the two years of occupation, the nazis turned the city into a scorched desert, and

the very next day after the liberation, the people of mariupol began to rebuild the city, what the russian invaders are doing to mariupol today, even the nazis dreamed of, but the free land sanctified by blood will never surrender to the enemy who does not understand how to fight for the freedom of mariupol. the invincible plane was attacked, it caught fire, it was still possible to eject and survive, but below are the people oleksandr korpan, a 27-year-old air force captain from mykolaiv gave his life to save hundreds of others, he took his burning plane away from residential buildings until the last moment. for his courage and self-sacrifice, oleksandr korpan was

posthumously awarded the title of hero of ukraine. heroes do not die. new times give birth to new symbols. good evening, we are from ukraine, a symbol of our indomitability, a symbol of revenge and memory . the ancestors of good heart and motherhood, a symbol of family, mastery, a symbol of desperation and the main symbol of fantastic people, death is gentle to us, baths are not collected pyrotechnics, emergency services, the enemy

can mine playgrounds, schools and homes of peaceful ukrainians and not undermine our spirit and will to victory, we will rebuild, we will restore, we will revive and it will shine again. - the ukrainian war is with you yevgenia harkov , now in marathon the team of social media is speaking until the ninth frame, we are with you well, i want to remind those who have just joined that now an air alert has been declared in all regions of ukraine, there is no information only for kherson and oblast and crimea, but since we cannot get data from there because these territories are now temporarily occupied, and so the air is now heard throughout the territory of ukraine
