has nowhere to fall and it can be very emotional when all these people, everyone who is here now for a moment, we will say that we remember and we are pained by what is currently happening in ukraine, according to the estimates of the organizers of this year's ethno-hu took more than a hundred volunteers and about three thousand visitors who are not indifferent to ukraine, meanwhile in the cinema of a neighboring city is cold, the days of ukrainian cinema continue, the audience gathers to watch the historical drama povodyr with subtitles in hebrew, when we did screenings in the film club, many people came out and said, well, it was cool, i knew what it was, then this film club went out of the scope of this cultural center, which exists at the embassy of ukraine in israel, we offered it, i offered it all - cinematography, you know, like our uh, um, like our movie house, only it is more modern. and here now, for example, there are 400 seats, and i offered

it seems like eight films. i thought they would take one documentary and one feature film, a maximum of two took five, and they themselves said that we were surprised. a few more films will be shown ahead. svitlana hopes that this project will be successful and that ukrainian cinema will be sold in cinemas all over the country, no less poor asafat and natalya had no plans for the couple to introduce israeli readers to contemporary ukrainian literature through the books moskoviad yury andruhovych and tanko of death by yury vinnychuk thanks to their publishing project can already be found on the shelves of israeli bookstores despite the fact that the book market in hebrew is very open and we read books from japan , norway, iceland, not just american commercial fiction or something like that, we read from all over the world and until now we had nothing from ukrainian prose, we had translations of poetry here and there in

magazines, but no ukrainian novel, it struck me and i decided that if no one is going to do it, then i will make one ukrainian book in hebrew a year, the couple set such a bar for themselves but i wanted more, currently they are working on oksana zabuzhko's third book, they are looking for sponsors in parallel, because the demand for ukrainian is affirming and because of the war, i am as tall as ever. to be honest, there was nothing like it that promoted ukrainian separateness, individuality, ukraine is another country, ukrainian is another language - ukrainians, other people were not interested the organizers of ukrainian gatherings in israel have been holding gatherings in israel for almost two years now. master classes, they read books together, each time more and more people came, but at the beginning of the war, there was actually a great

interest in those events, and esc - already 200 people are coming, that is, in fact, a lot, and at the last dybanks they were even forced to close registration a few days before the start, the project is completely volunteer and ukrainian-speaking from the very beginning, it is especially pleasing that the number of people willing to join the organization is also increasing, indeed, the war in ukraine has become such a peculiar catalyst many cultural principles of israel and he grew up let's say this is how people's interest in the history of our country, in tradition, in culture, is currently being added by the organizers of ukrainian events in israel. it is more important than ever to develop interest in ukrainian culture abroad and from israel . for this minute i'm telling you see you at 14:00 be

russian-ukrainian war, how world politics will develop, how, in principle, all this should happen in the situation that we are experiencing now. what month is it and can we be optimistic in this difficult situation just yesterday in the columns of the washington post newspaper appeared a text that ukraine can once again change the way the war is going on that russian achievements are actually halting and this is a very important moment, it seems to me that we are now observing on the fronts of this war, let's just remember what the situation looked like when

vladimir putin tried to destroy ukraine, when he attacked on february 24, 2022, what were the tasks of this attack, putin tried to take kiev, putin tried to create a puppet government in ukraine, putin tried to demand power from this puppet, and even more from the legitimate government of ukraine , for negotiations that then began in belarus recognition of the russian status of occupied crimea , recognition of the fact that the so-called people's republics of donbas have declared their independence, and it is obvious

that he hoped to capture more and more ukrainians, and the speech that putin gave on the night of february 24 to his compatriots and in which he reported on the beginning of russia's special operation against ukraine contained another thesis about the so-called self-determination of the peoples of ukraine. this is a very strange thesis because, unlike in russia, where there really are many peoples and a large number of them have the right to their own sovereignty, obviously, and i will remind you that in this republic of the russian federation, in the period of the late 80s and early 90s, they adopted declarations of their state cylinder in ukraine, there are no such peoples, ukrainians are mainly ethnic ukrainians

, the majority of our population of course there are national minorities and indigenous peoples who mostly live in the territory of the autonomous republic of crimea and whose rights are confirmed by the relevant laws, but there are such peoples of ukraine who should stand up for their village from their self-determination on the territory of our country . putin has nothing in mind, we understand that he was ready to announce the existence of a separate people in each occupied region of ukraine, the people of donbas, the people of kherson oblast, the people of zaporizhzhia, and for this people to declare their sovereignty, and after that to join the russian federation and stop to be a people because in the russian federations we understand no peoples from the point of view of russian chauvinists, there are no all russians and this was a program to leave a puppet to my government yanukovych, the entire territory that will be determined in the

kremlin and all other territory should be annexed to the russian federation. to be honest, this reminds me very much of the option that at one time the nazis chose for the soviet union. when mussolini lost power in italy, it became clear that italy would lose the second world war together with hitler's germany and there there was a coup against musoli and he was imprisoned, do you remember this and was released by the ussr led by izotoskartsem and transported to lake garda in the small town of salo, the degitri people announced to us small territories of the italian fascist republic led by the outlaw and his supporters who remained allegedly with the fascist party, and they occupied all the rest of the territory of italy, they tried to occupy everything and certainly did not intend to

hand over power over this territory to the outlawed village , this is how putin was going to do with yanukovych and others, you can say the neo-nazis to the ranks of the ukrainian political elite who were ready to serve putin and campaign to leave some part of the ukrainian territory and take all the other territory to occupy what we have today is a completely different situation that i am talking about our western partners and that is being talked about by the western media that are talking to officials and military analysts, it has actually been 5 months since the beginning of this war and the russians are no longer successful

fully 100% occupy even luhansk, where their military achievements were most noticeable from the first days of the war, they are forced to withdraw from the north of our country, they cannot continue offensive combat operations near kharkiv they cannot occupy the territory of the donetsk region completely, although the exit to the administrative borders of the donetsk luhansk region can be said to be a formalized goal of russian president vladimir putin, all other tasks do not look formalized putin can occupy the kherson zaporizhia region may not occupy may occupy kharkiv may not occupy anyone yes russia itself will not notice the defeat of this operation, because any retreat of the russians from the positions in which they are, as it was known

after the retreat near kiev and after the retreat from snake island, it is always declared the good will of the occupation, but the fact that the russians will not succeed in occupying donetsk region and luhansk region is already a completely different story, as you understand, this will already show that the special operation did not end with anything real and we see that it is not putin it is possible to act in the same way as it was not possible to operate simultaneously in the north, in the east, in the south in kharkiv oblast, at the same time trying to occupy all of this, just as it is now not possible to defend in kherson oblast and occupy donetsk region, that is why western observers believe that russia is losing the initiative of the goal and that the ukrainian armed forces have the ability to

de-occupy the south at least at this stage, and of course you and i have all seen the destruction of the bridges across the dnieper and thus the russian group located in the territory of the kherson region, there is no longer any real connection between the two parts that occupied the kherson region, and let's not forget, friends, that the kherson region is also fundamentally important for the russian dictator, because the provision of water for crimea is one of the strategic goals of volodymyr's special operation without water, the crimean peninsula, as we can see, cannot exist normally, this is, by the way, what i said about back in 2014, when crimea was occupied, i was then wondering if crimea was occupied, okay

? it is a peninsula, not an island, and even if a bridge is built from the mainland to the island, as putin did with the skrabchev bridge, this does not make the peninsula an island, because throughout its existence as a territory, crimea was founded in direct connection with the mainland, well, that is, at first, of course. when the coasts of crimea began to be inhabited, when there were ancient colonies there, the crimea was part of the mediterranean sea, and of course the people who lived on its shores in these ancient colonies did not really care what was happening there, not far from the mainland, etc. because in time there is a different distance, however, as soon as even the proto-states began to appear in the crimea on the territory of the peninsula itself, from the

principality of feodor and the crimean khanate, it immediately became absolutely obvious how important important for crimea is the connection with the mainland, and almost always the decline of crimea began with the breaking of this connection with the mainland, one of the first politicians who realized the importance of this connection was the russian empress catherine ii, who, of course, annexed crimea for the first time on for the benefit of her state, what did she do, she first of all occupied these mainland lands on which the crimean khanate was located and actually cut off the connection of crimea with the mainland, there were already russian outposts on the trench, and together with this, catherine ii did not destroy statehood crimea and more. she forced the authorities of the crimean khanate to give up their enthusiasm for the ottoman empire and declare their independence, but this independence was economically and politically unsustainable without the mainland, and it was not surprising

that later the troops of catherine ii appeared on the copy and occupied bakhchisarai by burning books in the libraries, palaces are destroyed and crimea is turned into a colony of the russian state, engaging in a consistent policy of squeezing the indigenous population of crimea from the peninsula in favor of e-e settlers from moscow lands yes. but crimea again, from an economic point of view, has the same connection with the mainland that it had before the annexation of the crimean khanate and is developing as part of the russian empire first, then the soviet union, and not even here. the question is what were the borders of the allied the republic is that all this time crimea was part of a single state body, when in 2014

the russians annexed crimea and the supply of dnieper water to crimea stopped, many people say well, they lived without dnieper water about they still live. but you need to understand the economic and demographic conditions in crimea. there is a much larger population than there was. until the time when the north crimean canal was being built in crimea, the structure of the economy was completely different, the structure of agriculture was different, and the needs of the military were different. crimea cannot be avoided, therefore, of course, if we free the crimean kherson region from the invaders, we are creating incredible problems for putin and his gang from the point of view of the future of the crimean peninsula, the question is even how they will be to defend it militarily and whether they will threaten to use tactical nuclear weapons in the event of attempts by the ukrainian armed forces to liberate this

territory from the russian invaders . good question. and now another question. what does it mean that the russians are losing the initiative? does this mean that they will go home? this is the question that the interlocutors of the washington post and they tell me they won't go home. and then what if they will try to change the course of this war, what military capabilities do they have? as such, surprisingly, there are not many of them, so they engage in covert

mobilization, so they bring some more equipment there, but in case the ukrainian armed forces receive modern western equipment that will allow the destruction of as many russian soldiers and their equipment as possible, of course this process will stop and the people they recruit will know for sure that they are going to certain death when are going to fight in ukraine and this will be a very important moment, and by the way, it is very important for us to prove to the russians that the only alternative they can meet on ukrainian soil is not that they can steal something there or receive a high contract salary for their participation in volodymyr's shameful adventure putin's death, death, death should be the only answer to the question of what should i do in ukraine to die, and this will also naturally

reduce the number of those who are ready to fight for vladimir putin now, even in the socially prosperous regions of the russian federation, which and by the way, we have to understand that putin is pursuing a policy of systematic extermination of the non -russian peoples of russia because he is a minister because he wants russia to have less chechens than they do, and they simply say that the russians did not multiply and took their place, but now we see that there are not so many representatives of national minorities who are so hated by russian chauvinists. in the army, people have to be recruited from purely russian regions of russia, and this is no longer part of vladimir putin's plans. so what even if you imagine that the russian military is ready to interpret some operations there in response to which they will try to get kherson region , or try to seize the entire donetsk region, even in such a situation, it is by no means
