is such a contingent that they are capable of creatively working out those tasks that are delegated by the kremlin to its own special services, of course. this comforts us to a certain extent, but it should not reassure us in the context of effective countermeasures by the forces of our special services and the intelligence and subversive activities of the russian federation against of ukraine and the intentions that they are trying to carry out with such dirty and rather unprofessional operations in the professional world, you know, there is such a statement that it is a good job and there is a statement that it is not a good job, that's right a bad job, to put it mildly, which once again proves the failure of the kremlin and the russian special services, which are trying to promote ukraine, progressive

opposition forces in their own country and somehow whitewash themselves in the eyes of the international community. and by the way, the so-called national republican army in the russian federation came to light released me a fest there is so very interesting, but pay attention to the fact that in one of the places where it is indicated that it is not necessary to shoot at our brothers, the countries belarus, syria and for the second time, ukraine is not mentioned there, what does it say that this document was prepared in lukyanka , the russian special services are also involved in it, and in this way they want to distort what i said above, but it is all so obvious and clear that there is faith in modern russia and in putin 's regime is just definitely violated and i hope that

this country will be recognized as a state and sponsor of terrorism and ukraine with the help of our partners. thank you very much, this is the love of the general. the lieutenant, a veteran of the foreign intelligence of ukraine, was with us just now. we transmit the ether e-e on e eva melnyk already has fresh news for us, hello colleagues, thank you for your work , the news editor is still working, stay with us about the most important things, next russia is killing ukrainian children in a hospital in lviv, a 15-year-old girl died from injuries she received on at the beginning of august, during the enemy shelling of the city of toretsk in donetsk region , 374 children were killed today due to a full-scale war, and 723 were injured of various

vladimir, we welcome you to the conversation, let's see a short story about the history of our flag, which takes its history from a very long time ago danylo halytskyi also gave lviv, which was founded in 1256, a coat of arms with the image of a yellow lion on a blue background, and let's go back a little to the past and see where this blue-yellow flag came from. the holiday of the national flag in ukraine has been celebrated since 2004, in 2008 it appeared the tradition of solemnly raising the flag on august 23, the combination of yellow and blue colors goes back to the times of ancient russia , the same schoolchildren often met on the flags of the cossacks as a state fear yellow-blue was approved by the ukrainian people's republic in 1991 he again became the flag of independent ukraine. glory, love

ukraine, not a hero behind the land, chornovil, together with his associates, was brought to the session hall on august 25, 1991. today, it is one of the main state relics kept in the verkhovna rada. in april 2014 he was tortured for trying to return the ukrainian flag to the city council building captured by the occupiers posthumously rybak became a hero of ukraine yellow-blue flags over the donetsk airport during defenders of the entire defense raised it now. twice a year on the day of the state flag and the day of the military unit, one of the legendary flags from the donetsk airfield is raised over the military unit in krypnytskyi. after fierce battles, in july of this year, the ukrainian flag returned to

zmiiny island before the war in honor of the day of the state flag in different regions, canvases of record sizes were often created in kyiv on a flagpole 90 m high. one of the largest flags, 16x24 m , was raised to the sky in the front-line avdiivka a flag with an area of ​​120 square meters in 2016, in kyiv, a huge flag of ukraine was created from flowers with an area of ​​more than 13,000 square meters, it entered the book of records of ukraine as the largest flower carpet . that the existence of the flag of ukraine, our trident , our language, our anthem is all that distinguishes us from the russians, for the russians it is a threat to their existence uh-uh today we also want to talk not only about the flag, but about the discussion that arose

yesterday, there was such a ruckus on facebook on the occasion of the sign that the creatives of the cult and agencies decided to make to mark the trident, so they invented a sign, but this sign caused very conflicting emotions among ukrainians, some began to say that it is a sign related to with certain physical pleasures er, er, many memes began to appear, er, but besides all that, there were huge claims to the ministry of culture, why invent something new when there is er, the sign that vyacheslav chornovil indicated with the hand of vyacheslav chornovil, which actually showed that it is also necessary to remember that also this is a sign, this is an osprey, in fact, that is, it is a sign of the

ukrainian plastuns, well, that is, it is an ancient, ancient history. well, here we probably just have to pass the word to volodymyr vyatrovych, here we are still showing it , actually, mr. volodymyr, please, in general, this whole history shows what it is possible to draw conclusions and observations for you as a historian and ex -head and founder of the ukrainian institute of national remembrance, unfortunately, this is a sad story when people who take on the promotion of holy symbols are absolutely not for every ukrainian understand what they are doing. this story, which testifies, knew again about the opening, felt the approach to, in particular, state policy, some state initiatives related to the popularization of this ukrainian, this story is reminiscent of last year's story, when in these days the idea was very actively pushed the so-called great coat of arms, which invites me, always reminded me of the confident label again. that is, uh, this is a story

about those people who believe that nothing happened to them, that everything that is important can happen in that to the state, this is what they will actually offer. this is a story about disrespect for very important credits , important traditions that are respected and that appeared decades before those who should popularize them today. i think that it was very healthy and very correct to react in society and in the end it is the fact that for this so-called flash mob they refused to listen to the ukrainians who showed how inappropriate such initiatives are the coat of arms, or the trident, marking it with the hand, or do we remember ayden, such a ukrainian, when the humpbacked horse was depicted there, and also then there was a discussion on the part of the ukrainians, why should a red, er, red horse denote something that is

associated with ukraine when we have, let's say , kosovo ceramics, and you can depict such animalistic characters in such and such colors that will indicate that this is ukraine. engaged in ukrainian culture, who were supposed to promote ukrainian culture, for them, ukrainian culture is alien, these are people who were brought up , unfortunately, in some er conditions of the dominance of russian or soviet culture, these are people who have a very hard time getting rid of the actual influence of this russian culture, and unfortunately we now see that the time when ukrainian society is moving very quickly in the direction of decolonization often unfortunately, the ministry of culture itself is the factor that slows down the renaming of some toponyms in populated areas which slows down the dismantling of certain markers of the russian world in the form of monuments in populated areas in ukraine, therefore, unfortunately, this first of all

shows the worldview of those people who today manage the cultural industry where on this culture is not yet understood unknown certain beliefs are alien to that they take on some things so boldly, that 's why they are so sure that they are the pioneers of some ukrainian traditions . it confuses me. independent ukraine, i still do not understand the essence of the holiday that was introduced this year, the day of statehood, whether it differs personally from the day of independence, and what other positioning of this holiday compared to the independence day will be and knows how, no one has been able to answer this question, however, or introduced this is a holiday, and i am afraid that this is again an attempt to introduce some kind of tarnished tradition that, unfortunately, threatens that very important tradition, because independence day on this day, which unites all ukrainians, is a tradition that really

fundamental already in our independent ukraine, you say that the ministry of culture very often stands on the way to getting rid of the communist past of the flora of the soviet union, and again, we see that the ministry of culture has put into action, there was even a survey on what to do with e- is the pedestal of the mother's family in kyiv, and among the proposed options is to take her away, there was no more than that, then a comment appeared in one of minister tkachenko's interviews about the desire to demolish this pedestal. the desire of some uh, well, it was said ardent patriots, but i very often hear this adjective in a different meaning, not in the ukrainian translation, namely in such a russian stubborn patriots . neighbors who are seeing the war in ukraine and what they

are doing with the symbols, what should be done with them, they are getting rid of them, for example, in estonia, they took away a tank and dismantled it, moved it to another place, to a museum there, and the city, just like me the situation given by the mother is a clear example of how the ministry of culture, unfortunately, is now essentially not keeping up with those public initiatives due to changes in public sentiment, because the ukrainian public really is because this survey about the motherland was absolutely manipulative, the manipulative court is not really a local option about the possibility of dismantling it seems to me that such an opinion would find a fairly large number of supporters, at least in my field of communication, and secondly, it is generally brutal that that the first option in this survey was to leave everything as it is, which is simply a violation of the law. and i am very confused that the head of the central executive body of the ministry of culture is submitting a survey of an option that absolutely involves

disregarding the current law. this survey shows the situation around the motherland that, unfortunately, there are still a lot of ukrainian officials, well, they are not able to overcome some of this soviet heritage in themselves. another vivid example of this was related to may 9, when the absolute majority of ukrainians, as sociology shows, more than 85% of ukrainians do not want to consider this day victory day as a church day, however, the parliament did not find enough strength to consider the draft law that provided for the transfer of victory day to nazism to may 8, so unfortunately now there are indeed many such people who represent the government, which rather slows down the social processes that have matured in the country instead of providing them with some necessary legislative framework . processes of decommunization, lenin fell, all this

began with public initiatives, but it found a response from the representatives of the then government in the parliament of the executive power, and so the laws on decommunization were passed, which in fact provided a framework for the process that had already matured in ukrainian society. now, unfortunately, i do not want to see it to hope that after all the position of representatives of the authorities will change regarding these very important issues of monetary policy to a mature understanding of what war is going on now, this war for identity and so it is extremely important for us to carry out the state policy of strengthening the ukrainian national identity in another case. unfortunately, you are actually protesting on public grounds to a very powerful russian propaganda machine, it will be very difficult. actually , right after this conversation , we will show you the next series from the series 10 days of independence, where the author actually goes and the host and narrator of this series is volodymyr vyatrovych, and i want to say,

in view of this, that do you know how to formulate it? for example, there are other films that make different accents . it seems to me that this series wanted to show those people thanks to whom the processes in ukraine took place thanks to which ukraine gained independence and also show the connection of the last 100 years in these liberation struggles, but it seems to me that these stories i will try to do something there with a trident, it is not clear what it is or, for example, this desire to assert statehood, so that it was either some already mythologized and incomprehensible volodymyr, or immediately the party boss kravchuk which is still understandable by the soviets, here is this, here is the reluctance to recognize this connection, what is the independence of ukraine, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it?

the introduction of citizenship as actual citizens of the ukrainian people's republic is at the very beginning , well, what to do with it or do we still have to put up with it ? today's date, on the one hand, yes, for ukrainians , they are now at the front with this flag, they are congratulating us, they are congratulating the ukrainians, and that's wonderful. it's wonderful, but on the other hand, well, the date itself. let's not do anything about it, this date is not just not profitable. it is just completely random and another such creator of new traditions initiated exactly august 23 as the date for honoring the ukrainian flag. it was dmytro tabachnyk, again , unfortunately, it does not have any of historical background. so this holiday was introduced by petro tabachnik on 23rd of 2004. here it is on me. unfortunately, it has no historical background, and

one of the initiatives from which i was at the time as the head of the institute of national remembrance was the transfer of the international holiday to september, when indeed this flag in the village, our yellow flag was raised above the verkhovna rada, that of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, that is, here we already have a long historical tradition. i think we really still have to work a lot in order for our the state associated itself with the state ukrainian historical tradition so that our state really understood some of its historical roots. and i was very pleased that you all managed to make this series 10 days of independence together, the task of which was to show the consequences of what happened in 1991 in 1991 th year is the year of those events that took place at the beginning of the 20th century. i am convinced that history is not just, it is an experience that allows us to withstand, in particular, in the current situation, which is extremely important for ukraine, but the quality and international positioning in order to show that in fact it is not some sound state formation that

appeared on the vamps of the soviet union in 1991 that in fact we have an ancient state-building tradition, that is why we actually tried to show in those 10 series essentially a hundred years of ukrainian history. and i am very pleased, thank you very much of the espresso channel, which shows this series. a documentary film to travel was shown on television. maybe it is enough for us to watch some arrestees or other nonsense on television, after all, it is extremely important for us to use this tool, the tool of television, in order to tell ukrainians why this war started without understanding history, we will not understand why the war started, you understand history we will not understand why this war is so cruel why do the russians behave like this and not in another way history where there are answers to many of these questions volunteer volunteer and now

she is fighting for the independence of lesya lytvynov with a weapon in her hands, who was previously a director on television in an interview with the press, what is the actual action, a number of interviews are dedicated to independence day and because it is already six months old
