in russian, my grandson, who is 17 years old, he was also russian-speaking, now he speaks to his grandmother, if i only hear that you are a russian-speaking people, i will not talk to you . this is of great importance after the shelling experienced by the people, people did not break down, on the contrary, people began to return to chernihiv and unite and began to bare brick by brick to rebuild the houses that were shelled by the russians, one of such people was andriy galyukha, he then he united dozens of people who are now rebuilding chernihiv andriy to him we congratulate you on independence day what for you in these six months that you spent in chernihiv and which you are now rebuilding with your own hands have changed for you this word well, i think

that the word independence is relation by the way, independence has changed not only in me, but also in all the other people, and after the threat arose, i don't want to lose independence, because independence, first of all, is an opportunity to live on one's own land, to build one's own life, one's own future and the future their own children, regardless of who they are. well, they also thought that chernihiv residents would come to strangers' yards like this to pick up bricks in the morning and until late in the evening. on the fact that people will be able to unite in such a huge number of people in such a force and i did not think that people can take and help their neighbors like that, but but it is. as far as i know

, even one independence, the work on the reconstruction of chernihiv does not stop and is already today the houses that will be dismantled, tell me about it yourself, and this house is exactly this house. we are planning to work here today, and i think we will be able to gather. today, we have a lot of people who were not afraid of these things that are gathering around today's date, and i think which for us will symbolically show that on independence day , we are not afraid to come here to help a person because the first one she can not do alone, and the second is simply to show that we can unite no matter what and well no fearing nothing, that is, here we are on our land, so far we have nothing to fear, in fact, this house is a house with a history, we can tell what happened right here, i think that i think half of ukraine knows what happened here, that krasnoyartsev was landed here, well

, he flew somewhere, he flew here but as they say, he doesn’t just hibernate him here, and he also caused grief here, how much he destroyed a lot here. well , it should be noted that this is a russian aviator. well , of course, because even against a russian aviator, there is a super cool one, our cossack with manpads so, of course, so don't fly, we don't need to rebuild all the houses in chernihiv - it's clay by brick, and then we invite everyone to chernihiv andriy will give a tour of the reconstruction sites i hope happy independence day from chernihiv and glory to ukraine daria yanushkevich our live correspondent from chernihiv next we will have a connection with one more unconquered city of sumy unconquered cities of ukraine sumy cossack

came to the maidan in kyiv to declare that they are not going to obey the dictatorship and attempt to falsify the presidential elections according to the results. filmed in ivano-frankivsk yanukovych came to sway the voters to his side, but instead of support he received an egg from the omry yanukovych demanded from president leonid kuchma to disperse the maidan for with the help of the army, however, the president at that time did not agree, the participants of the orange revolution did not leave the center of kyiv - neither day nor night, demanding fair elections, starting in 2005, the authorities began to make efforts to restore historical justice, the declassification of soviet archives, the recording of testimonies of witnesses of the famine in all regions
