deeper and higher, someone says that it is small, because many will leave. and what do you think the new culture of the new ukrainian ukraine will be? it will still be new after the war, no matter how it ends. well, it ended in victory, but so did i. how much time has not passed, how much blood has not been shed. i hope that she will not be a harem." but i have the impression that they are either patriotic or good, that’s how i’m going to be what i’ve seen from the

ukrainian art of cinema. to dissolve it is my dream. i really wanted to head the minister of subculture all my life, only to come out on the second day and say that the ministry of culture no longer exists in ukraine. well, we need to convince the deputies to somehow introduce a change to lead it , then i will do it, then it will be the ministry and culture will be there such dependence, if there is no ministry, then there is still nothing. there is something, but you know, this is this, this is this, and culture, that is, it is not there separately. culture must always earn money for itself. you know, they say that a hungry artist must make money. the department of the ministry of finance should be sitting there, a group of people artists are engaged in this and they take some grants and it is the artists who decide to whom to give money for the fine arts, there are directors here they receive a grant from the ministry of finance and say we have ideas such and such we are ours as i would

say the guild principle. when our guild will decide who to give money to, and here we talk. so the artists say, let's support this . the ministry of culture says so, it will be the same for me if i am. then come out some not very high quality works well, thank you very much mr. mykola veresen was with us thank you for visiting my colleague presenter journalist actor writer public figure blogger what and the presenters of the columns what is this acquaintance on the espresso tv channel thank you i wish you a good evening on all the same decided to block zelenskyi's speech to say that according to our procedure, he says it's not what i don't want, she says according to the procedure, the participant just has to be present, so to speak live, that is, really present, and zelenskyi can't let's go say let's vote and what's interesting is that out of all the participants

, the members of the un security council voted for you to prevent zelensky from speaking online, only russia in the person of nebenzi china abstained and the remaining 13 participants voted against, that is, finally russia found itself alone against, one against , well, china abstained, that's why zelensky spoke and said that he wants to host a un assembly devoted to the topic of the future of ukraine in kyiv . now happy independence day to oleksandr vasyl, happy holiday dear viewers, in the next few minutes i will tell a little bit of historical economic figures , also about the victories of our economy and about the victories of sanctions against russia, all about it in detail in a moment so, i am oleksandr marchenko congratulations this is traditionally in

this feast the rubric about money during the war a little bit of course on this day of independence and i want to recall certain numbers economic numbers really ukraine came record-breakingly close to full economic independence from russia active divorce started well, let's recall in 2014, then after the revolution of dignity, a few figures, trade turnover between ukraine and russia then reached a maximum, for example, in 2011, it was 49 billion dollars. and already last year, it collapsed to 9 billion. such data were provided by analysts of the center for economic strategies , mainly our state occupied oil and oil products in muscovy, however, after february 24, this resource stopped altogether, gas stopped flowing, so the situation is less tragic. in general, already at the end of 2015, ukraine completely refused from blue fuel from the aggressor country last year,

for example, nuclear power plants stopped taking russian nuclear fuel altogether, ukrainian nuclear power plants completely switched to american westen house fuel, according to economists , the westen house company's american type of fuel is complete. year, we hope these are only technical procedures, now, in particular, the cabinet of ministers is completely liquidating all bureaucratic documents that connect us at least with the economy of the aggressor country indeed, after the victory, ukraine will have to build a completely new economic model, which will it be for now? only experts and government officials talk about it. billion dollars is the largest amount that the americans allocated

for the defense of our country in the new package of the air defense system, artillery, unmanned aircraft complexes, ammunition and radars, such support will enable our country to continue to defend itself in the long term, says the statement of the white house. well, the prime minister of ukraine denys myhal has already announced that this money, these 3 billion dollars , has gone to the state budget of ukraine. ore will give ukraine a stable inflow of foreign currency, it will help reduce the pressure on the hryvnia and restore ukrainian production, it will help our country effectively resist the aggressor , the vice president of icc ukraine said on issues of industrial policy and energy strategies, serhii sivolap, he is convinced by the example of open grain export, he demonstrated that it is possible to solve complex tasks as a group, so

ukraine has every opportunity to intensify the solution of metallurgy exports, in particular through the grain corridor. and here is the french total energy. the french total energy was exposed in the supply of aviation fuel to russian pilots to bomb our motherland , gas condensate deliveries were made through the share of a french company in a joint venture with in russian novatek this is reported by the limont publication , journalists managed to trace the supply chain from the thermokarst gas field in siberia to two military airbases, each of which has a squadron of multi-purpose fighters, the newspaper reports, repair, this is the kind of research journalistic investigations are taking place, in particular, in the economy, the french total energy admitted that what else what is happening so far this is the kind of cooperation they have time for in a joint project with a russian innovator, i

continue to talk about the economy of the aggressor country which is essentially trying to find a way out of the problem to avoid sanctions, in particular, the kremlin is trying, russia has not publicly resumed the sale of its diamonds, the bloomberg agency writes about this, the deals mainly go through indian banks, the russian company alrosa deciphers russian diamonds, sells precious stones to buyers in india and europe, mainly in exchange for rupees producer from the aggressor country now sells over 250 million dollars worth of stones every month this is only 20-30% less than before the war but still a large figure australian manufacturer of means of individual protection, ensel decided to leave the russian market, the company called the continuation of work in moscow impractical, now the business is looking for a way to wrap up the case in the aggressor country and

fulfill all its obligations to the end, in particular , take into account the interests of employees, customers and its shareholders. in june 2021, the company opened in in the tula region, a factory for the production of gloves for specialists working in difficult conditions, it was planned to produce 2 million pairs per year, but in the future the production will be doubled now the muscovites will not have gloves, the australian business will leave the country of the aggressor and i will switch to the latest news of its issue a coin for a donation to the armed forces of ukraine the national bank of ukraine and privatbank have announced fundraising for the holiday everyone who participates in the collection of charity money will have a chance to receive one of 10 exclusive commemorative coins oh in the meadow red viburnum gift set will be signed by the head of the national bank of ukraine kyryll shevchenko and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valery

yes we continue our conversation and add i wanted to quote the forest track she made such a loud statement i will add marina to the conversation later pryhodko, she even thinks of mismanagement and is one of the leaders of the advocacy team of the ukrainian american foundation together. i congratulate you. i am glad to see and hear you here in ukraine. you know, i would like to start the laws. she is very short, but i really wanted you as a person who lives there. i read what are you between new york and washington? yes, you work both there and there for support and lobbying . by the way, in the united states of america, among the representatives of the authorities, you are in the interests of ukraine, but today in new york there is a famous one post-soviet where post-soviet people live, so to speak, people who left the soviet union, many brighton beach were renamed ukraineway, ukrainian way, how did it happen?

and in general, a very good idea, as far as i know, how did it happen, the ukrainian community submitted an application to the local authorities with a request to rename this corner it's not quite a street, it's a corner in this area of ​​brighton where there are many people from the soviet union and many ukrainians as well and many people who, over the last six months, have all revived themselves as ukrainians or ukrainka ah, that is, the request was to rename this corner to ukraine way, the ukrainian way, and because of the fact that america ah, new york as a state, new york as a city , uh, people in new york and almost everyone-everyone-everyone in the usa support ukraine at a very high level, the request was accepted, your work was accepted. well, every day

, actually, not every day, but very often during these six months, we especially talk about aid from the united states of america for ukraine, this certain decision of the congress and the decision of the biden administration and support there business certain structures yes, and people always understand that there is something behind all this. well, maybe they are behind everything, but behind many decisions and movements are ukrainians who join in and lobby, and here you are, lobbying for the interests of ukraine in the senate . are you lobbying them among other authorities, how difficult is it, and tell me more about this work, how do you manage to achieve what you want, that is, so that the decision is made and aid goes to ukraine, well, i will start with the fact that uh, in fact, the last 30 years , uh, and even more, even during soviet ukrainians in the union, ukrainians abroad are engaged in this work. that is why it is not only recently that it started,

i don't want anyone to be under the illusion that, on a beautiful day, we all woke up and said that we need to lobby for the interests of ukraine in the united states. no, not really. our advocacy team is just one and in fact it is very small but very powerful and we cooperate with many different organizations of volunteer groups of activists not only from ukraine, also our allies in this matter are syrians, afghans, in different places, people from israel jewish communities in the usa that are very supportive of ukraine and can convey this support to the american government, and i want to correct you because you said from the very beginning that such high support for ukraine is the result of a decision of the congress , partly by the congress and partly by the administration.

let's say how the recognition of a terrorist country, e.e. congress sponsors tourism, congress supports it, but there is no decision by biden, well, in fact, i am dealing with this interesting question, but, well, it is usually congress that gives the administration commands, if congress wants all these i i don't even know how many representatives there are, he can say, well, there are a lot of them, just like in the verkhovna rada, if they give a certain order to the president of the administration to do something, if the president doesn't do it, it will be a very big problem, and it's not in the interests of the administration and you are against the people because the congress represents the people represents the people voters er people who pay taxes and so on and so er the process is actually very simple and everything we do as er foreign ukrainians as ukrainians lobbying and advocating for

ukrainian interests in the usa, we represent ourselves as a resource to these representative offices because they deal with many different matters every day. they have to decide what is happening in israel, in afghanistan , in syria, in ukraine. to take a big part in the un and then we, well , accordingly, we still have to deal with it, so we go to the first meeting with the representatives and say if you have any questions, we are here, contact us, we will help you if you want to know how ukraine regained its independence 31 years ago, we are ready to tell you. if you want to know why the situation in kherson is so difficult now, we can tell you everything, and in most cases this is enough for them to continue supporting ukraine because they know that

they can always go to someone with questions and uh it's also important because uh um congress listens to their constituents it's a democratic process and uh us citizens have a democratic right to go directly to their representatives with priorities and now uh not for all americans but now i am watching and well, a lot of people in the usa and in the world we are watching that one of the highest priorities for americans for voters is ukraine ah and not only for uh americans who already have some kind of connection with ukraine, and fortunately, we very often meet americans or even just people who are in america now who very, very strongly support ukraine and want to help us in this work. and this well

inspires very much but also a very important point and we simply encourage people to use this democratic right to appeal to their representatives with their demands, and one of these demands may be greater support for ukraine. thank you very much, thank you for joining. thank you for visiting . to ukraine, we wish to have a good, good time here, to achieve all the goals you set for yourself when you came to ukraine, to lviv in particular. so , marina prykhodko was with us. of the american fund together, which lobbies for our interests over the ocean in the new world, thank you, i wish you a good evening on this day well, now we will add dmytro didorov to the conversation, our correspondent is in kyiv and will tell you about the celebration of this day in the capital of ukraine dmytro congratulations please word to you good evening good

evening vasyl i congratulate you and all viewers of the espresso tv channel on the independence day of ukraine today the capital celebrated its 31st anniversary, but today there were no mass events in to the national reserve sofia of kyiv, the priests of all churches prayed for peace in ukraine, and on khreshchatyk main street there was a procession, so to speak, of the burned equipment of rashi, which they planned, which they planned to reach kyiv in three days, but today i also want to remind you that today is exactly six months since that how russia began a full-scale invasion of ukraine and uh, for the evening they left such a pleasant surprise, lit up the motherland, this uh, 62-meter iron beauty was illuminated with the colors of the flag of ukraine uh, she

always look in the direction of moscow with a sword and a shield, and today there is no, well, there is no discussion. and there are such comments that the soviet coat of arms on the shield of the motherland should be replaced. there are people in the capital in ukrainian. today, i personally noticed that there were not many people in the subway. and on the streets you can tell why time flies by very quickly today. thank you very much dmytro for finding time and telling us about how in kyiv today celebrated independence day and dmytro didora, our correspondent from kyiv, i am joining yevhena pakhova sports wartime yevhena please kind good evening to vasyl. greetings, dear viewers of the espresso tv channel. first of all, i congratulate you on independence day and let's start talking about sports during the full-scale russian-ukrainian war, what is happening in ukrainian sports with ukrainian sports, now we will talk about everything in detail. so , the new football season started in ukraine the day before on the national flag day, the first round

of the ukrainian premier league championship began under the slogan while we play, we are invincible, and actually it is difficult to call any results of this round sensational or unexpected, it is hardly worth overlooking the quality of football demonstrated by the teams, we understand the conditions under which they prepared for the start of the championship and under which conditions it begins and so, before the results of the first round, shakhtar donetsk lost a heavy one in their first match in the first official match of the new season of the miners in kyiv , nsc olimpiyskiy played to a goalless draw with metalist 1925. also on tuesday, luhansk zorya confidently beat poltava vorskla 3:1 . alita newcomer veres beat odesa chornomorets 1:0 and another upl newcomer, kryvbas, also scored 1:0 today, another match was played, which was interrupted three times due to an air alarm, and once

for 2.5 hours. 2:1, i will add that dynamo kyiv will play its first round match on november 16 against ingul dnipro. on the same day, it will meet with alexandria . the representative in the group round of the champions league this season and shakhtar donetsk will be him, on the other hand , dynamo kyiv stopped their performances the day before . kyiv in the return match of the playoff round of qualification lost to lisbon benfisov , this time with a score of 3:0, and all goals were scored before the break first, nikolas and medi won the fight on the second floor of artem besedin, later oleksandr syrota missed with a fatal mistake, passing a pass to rafitsiev, and two minutes later the score became 3:0 david the cut was marked after a pass by gonzalo ramusha, after

that benfica somewhat decreased its activity in the attack . dynamo did not even have the strength to score a goal. the prestige of strength is probably somewhere in the skills. thus, white and blue continue the european cup season, but they will play in the europa league in the group round, and after the game, a blink of time stated that the main problem dynamo was benfica, our biggest problem was not benfica, but the situation as a whole, we attract players from the academy, but they are not yet ready for this level, we have a 19-year-old playing in defense colorful 20-year-old vivcharenko 22-year-old orphan, as i said at the pre-match press conference, benfica is much stronger, but it is not permissible for us to make so many mistakes, the result could have been even 0:6, the difference was extremely big . benfica deserves this victory. i congratulate them and i wish a good performance in the group stage of the champions league the lisbons are a team of very high level and qualification they play spectacular dynamic and

organized football we have one wish we want to continue playing football and live it the most important thing in a warring country is sports results in such a situation take a back seat, but it is very important not to give up and continue to play the championship, in conclusion, about basketball, the national team of ukraine began qualifying for the world cup with a defeat, the second stage of selection for the world cup in 2023, in the first match of the second round of the ukrainian conceded to the national team of italy, the game was held in riga as part of ukraine for the first time in several years, both nba players oleksiy lenta svyatoslav mykhailiuk, as well as the team almost all the leaders of the team scored. ukraine started the match better. the first quarter ended in a tie. at the break, the teams went for the advantages of the blue-yellow team 45-34, but then there was a

setback . ukraine will play its next game against iceland, after which it will begin its performance at the 2022 european basketball championship, and this will be the end of the sports column. once again, i congratulate you on independence day, and i pass the floor to vasyliovych thank you very much yevhena yevhena pastukhov spoke about sports , and now it's time to talk about the weather, what will the weather be like in ukraine tomorrow, we will be told not so kolyadenko ms. ms. i congratulate you please say happy independence day to vasyl all our dear tv viewers happy holiday what will happen tomorrow in ukraine we are working, we are looking ahead and on august 25 in most regions of ukraine the weather will not change significantly, it will be dry, cloudless, sunny and hot almost everywhere , but there will be certain differences in different regions about it we'll talk later, now we're moving on to our next such sub-heading, magnetic storms, and
