prigozhin began miss the fact that there are two factions in the kremlin, but they want to continue the war, and the faction that is loyal to them, which consists of government officials, wants to enter into negotiations with the west in order to preserve its assets and residences, or ukraine could buy the necessary equipment directly from french manufacturers, the creation of a special fund was announced by emmanuel macron at an informal meeting of the european council in prague, 100 million euros will be concentrated in it, and this is only for the beginning, the head of france emphasized, with these funds, our state will be able to purchase defensive weapons for supporting the military and resisting russian attacks, france is also discussing with denmark the transfer of new caesar self-propelled artillery installations to ukraine about the six system of 1 billion 300 million dollars

of credit assistance from the international monetary fund, these funds should meet the needs of ukraine's balance of payments, but also support its creditworthiness, the funds noted that due to the free humanitarian and economic losses of our state remain huge, the imf predicts that our economy will shrink this year by 35%. therefore, the need for external financing remains very high, ivano-frankivsk is preparing for the heating season, residents are stocking up on warm things, and the authorities are carefully preparing the city so that there are no surprises with networks during the winter ivan haruk will continue mrs. alla came to ivano-frankivsk from kherson, she lives in the city and at the beginning of the full-scale invasion she says she left all warm things at home, so she

will have to buy new winter clothes. she hopes to be able to spend the winter in prykarpattia without any particular difficulties winter was very warm in those years, well, it's in the south. well, i think it will be as warm here as well, and like here, we won't get cold, we won't get cold, we'll dress up a bit and buy things because there are practically no winter clothes. perhaps you will need to buy a convector or some kind of radiator, a fireplace in kherson says peresylenka , they had individual heating at home, so they paid a moderate amount for utilities in prykarpattia, but the family rents housing with centralized heating services, so the prices for utilities will be higher however, the woman's rent is compensated by the work, they compensate us from the company, so we thank them, there are organizations that gave us blankets. i think we will not freeze in

ivano-frankivsk. thank you for these pillows and bedding is all that we have at this stage, we should be warm, meanwhile, in ivano-frankivsk they are preparing for the cold season, if the enemy does not destroy the heating networks in the regions, then the cold season will be able to survive the winter at least in the west and in the center of the country. without any particular problems in the city for in advance of this, the experts bought all the necessary equipment these days in the carpathian region warm weather is forecast from 13 to 20°, above zero from the carpathian ivan haruk ihor gursky espresso tv channel and finally tyson's bears are fulfilled for 20 years, the owner of the forest has lived in the lviv rehabilitation center. the animal owner got there after being released from the baiting station. on his birthday, the animal was treated to special delicacies: pumpkin with various vegetables, fruits and honey. in general, he stays on the territory of the shelter.

31 bear animals can no longer be released into the wild because they are adapted only to life in the shelter, we celebrate the birthday of bears , that is, well, we all know that bears are born during winter hibernation, but we celebrate their the second birthday is when the bear came to our shelter, when he was rescued from some bad conditions, that is, in the 17th year , the bear came to us and from that time he lives not alone, lives with a minibus with a bear on it. we, this, me, all of me i will meet with you tomorrow, i leave you in the pleasant and useful company of my colleagues, events, the most important events, events that are happening right now and affect our lives, of course, the news feed reports about them, but it is not enough to know what is happening, you need to understand

antin borkovskii and invited experts soberly evaluate events and analyze them by modeling our near future that saturdays at 1:00 p.m. with a repeat at 10 p.m. studio event with anton borkovskii naispresso greetings representatives of the fashion world very often like to repeat that it is fashion that the fashion industry is the first and most responsive to various social changes or important problems, and that is how it is, judging by what has been happening in ukraine for the last 7 months, i mean the production of clothes or accessories or something else, which acquires patriotic direction or directly related to the war. so this week at least several events related to fashion took place. well,

for example, the brand int tailoring, which in particular specializes in embroidered shirts, and it is this brand that volodymyr zelenskyi likes to wear embroidered shirts of this brand and presented a photo shoot and advertising of my clothes with the main character of this photo shoot , a lawyer and a military man . in the hospital, and now we see him in such beautiful clothes and without his traditional bandage, because he walked like dick himself, he himself said pirates with this bandage, it was taken off him during a photo shoot - this is absolutely such a european and civilized practice which does not stigmatize as they say, people with body features, especially if they are military personnel who received some kind

of injury or disability, for example, during combat operations in the war, it is definitely a sign of courage, and it is unlikely to hide it what is needed is shown to us at this photo shoot. by the way, in an interview, messina told them that children are especially interested in his armband, in particular, and they say that he looks like a pirate to them. the owl brand released a series of bracelets called the symbol of unbreakability of all bracelets. they released 10,000 bracelets and the trick is that each of them consists of a cord and five grams of steel. this is the last batch of steel that was exported from azov steel. all of these 10

000 e-e bracelets sold out in just a few hours, visitors crashed e-people's website because they really wanted to buy these bracelets, they cost one and a half thousand hryvnias each, and the manufacturers say that all the profits of the war will be sent to the army of drones. well , i also ordered one. by the way, e- each bracelet contains 5 g of this steel. i also ordered this bracelet, but i already got into the second batch that was announced, which was announced by the manufacturers, because they said, if there is already such a hype, then we need to make more bracelets, and they wrote to me that it will happen in 20-30 days will have to wait. i know that many people who are now abroad also wanted to order , so you can see the excitement is incredible. well, another event from the world of fashion, from the world of patriotic, military, but already with a scandalous tone, the story that happened with a brand called tatu sawyeres

, the fact is that they released, er, white sneakers together with colleagues from the american company luans, everything would be good because the shoes are cute, but there are inscriptions, inscriptions are funny, as it is customary to do recently, but the whole problem is in the fact that they are in russian and now the russian language, especially on something so official or semi-official, on clothes, it bothers many people much more than it was. well, let's say that until february 24, because our world was really divided before and after february 24, although the war it started much earlier, not now, and now, after some publicity and even a scandal, the brand reacted and released all these photos with these sneakers from instagram and generally pretended that this collection did not exist. well, i want to remind you. i think that you yourself

noticed that in stores, for example, familiar products that you used to buy have changed their names because they are no longer very appropriate, for example, moscow sausage has become ukrainian, or yogurts or cheeses that were once popular are now mariyka, but they say that it is still a russian company, that's why this is the story by the way wars, and the brand you have here is a sweater that got into some controversy, because they felt their clothes in russia, and one of the clients noticed the we are one rasha tag and also wrote about it on instagram, and people also reacted to it, well, now let's move on to literary issues, and specifically to steve on king , he continues to delight ukrainians with his indomitable position, which has not changed one iota since the end of february, because stephen king not only supports ukraine and ukrainians, but he also, as it seems to me,

absolutely clearly understands what is happening here. unlike many of his colleagues, fellow writers, colleagues, celebrities, moreover, he is not afraid of any nuclear weapons, any nuclear blackmail, because he tweeted another tweet in support ukraine, he writes a lot of them. here i am, now i will quote the world of russia, get out of ukraine, it is not your country, it is noticeable that the ministry of defense of ukraine wrote a very uh, cute, well, funny, for sure uh, and a very correct comment on this world . taught the world how to write , now you are teaching how to talk to russia, that is the only way it can understand, and you do not argue here, because well, we often meet with the same level of misunderstanding of russia in the world, especially

among representatives of, let's say, creative intelligentsia, but stephen king, we know that he is not just a good writer, not just the king of horrors, as he is called very often, but also a person who has deeply studied and described more than once the nature of evil and what evil in its various forms can lead to therefore, i think that such a substance as putin, such a substance as russia, is very good for getting to know king, because he has been studying this business all his life. by the way, it was stephen king who surrendered at the end of february or the beginning of march. he called on many of his colleagues to terminate their contracts in russia and many people really agreed with this and stopped. what about russian writers? you started it in the swamps, especially boris kunin. they started saying that culture is of no use here. why

are you punishing literature? we are not guilty of anything. well, if we continue about literature, specifically about the nobel prize, i will remind you first, i will also remind you about an absolutely incredible incident that happened at the time when the nobel peace prize was presented, well, actually, the nobel peace prize became such an event this year, quite interesting and strange, however, unfortunately for absolutely in the trends of recent times, they awarded the nobel peace prize to belarusian , russian and ukrainian human rights defenders, they say that you are all good guys, you are fighting against evil together, and here we are. we'll move on to literature, i'll remind you that the nobel prize for literature was awarded to a french writer. oh no, she 's 82 years old now, she started her career in 1974 with the novel

empty cupboards, she described it quite frankly her relationship, her relationship with her father is not easy, not easy, and so on. practically all of her texts were marked by courage, frankness, a-a, intimacy , and well, that’s exactly what she was awarded the nobel prize for courage and acuteness, the fact is that she very often a-a described, well, some autobiographical cases that it was not customary to share probably the most resonant of her text is called an event - it is not a novel, it is relatively small, it seems like a novel, it describes her experiences from an abortion i i remember that this text was discussed very, very loudly, she wrote there, not only this event itself, but also the psychological state of the woman, well, herself in particular , and some social pressure that is exerted not on women, and

so in this difficult time, i in this difficult situation. well, what about her the last novels of the last 90 are called a young man there, she also raised the question at the same time and, autobiographically and together teasingly , she told about her lover, about her husband, who is younger than her by several decades, seems to be specifically 30, and that is also quite well such a-ah, well, it is not a very widespread situation, it is considered that, well, men still a-ah, let them find a woman who is 30 years younger than this one, can he get along with women a little worse, but well, the question is raised, the question is discussed , i can’t help but remember friends that m- this year, we had an idea among our people, in particular in our literary community, to nominate serhiy zhadana for the nobel prize in literature. but i think that this is all ahead. we have been

discussing the question of who and who can be nominated for the nobel prize serhii zhadan i think it is absolutely appropriate for this figure and wording can be invented there it seems absolutely easy to me serhii zhadan gives both me and his literary work in general and music in particular and his volunteer activities a lot of ghosts in order to characterize him very, very well, let 's say it in pompous words, interesting words, interesting wording, well, now let's move on to the topic of shchedrikan, the fact is that shchedrik will be performed in december at carnegie hall, just like this it happened almost exactly 100 years ago. i will remind you that in 2922 the vidun choir under the leadership of oleksandr koshyts visited america

, in particular carnegie hall, they performed a lot of ukrainian works and in particular shchedryk, which later became one of the most famous songs in the world and the most famous american carol probably the most famous american carol, in principle, many americans believe that it is an american song , but we understand that it is not. that lordship is not your song. this is our song. i will remind you once again that this is the choir of an orchestra under the leadership of košice. he traveled not only to the united states, but also to europe. all these tours began in 1919. the idea of ​​such tours arose in head of simon petliura, who i believed that ukraine needs to promote some of its own narrative meanings through culture, it was an absolutely cool idea, the freshness of which

is preserved to this day, we still talk about the importance of cultural diplomacy, about the influence of culture, and in particular, culture as propaganda, which used by russia, and then semen petliura said that let's gather this choir and since we need to declare our subjectivity, we need to declare now that we want to be an independent country. we want to be separate from russia, and we need to show it all with the help of culture the tour was extremely successful , as well as in europe, somewhere around 20 to 200 concerts were held in the united states . the independence of this and now, for the 100th anniversary of this concert, in the same kokarlyk holi, a very prestigious place, a similar concert is being organized, and i recorded an interview with one of the

organizers of this concert, her name is liabeth stone, she is an american of ukrainian origin and this music again. by the way, among the organizers of this concert, the ukrainian corner and the ministry of foreign affairs are involved. let's listen to ms. liya, how we talked with her. by the way, she said that it's true. americans that this is a ukrainian song what karol the bells as they call our philanthropist is a ukrainian song and by the way, she also told me that 100 years ago there were also many people who did not understand what this was ukrainian music, they thought it was russian. well, let's listen to ms. liliya. good day. good day. it's actually very good that you are a musicologist, because i have a lot of questions about

shchedryk . let's discuss with you, first of all, please explain how it happened. that shchedryk, who later turned into karall of the bells, became so popular in the united states, in general, in the world, it became an iconic song. well, actually, what steps preceded this , because well, you know, there are many books, even how hits are created, how hits go to their listeners, what is a combination of factors, what factors were a-a in relation to the generous person, how are the factors, this is important, and i honestly don’t know the americans, but this is a very, very popular, very well-known favorite carol er with america, i think that we don't have christmas without a christmas gift. it's also a part of our culture, and

in general, after february, a lot has changed . 8 years ago, well, let's say that not everyone knew that this was a ukrainian song, then a certain promotion began in the media, more and more materials about it began, and ukrainians, of course, now almost all of them, i don't know who might not know that this is not a ukrainian song. but regarding the americans, is it possible? to divide the period before february 24 and after february 24, 20, when ukraine began to sound much more powerful, to put it mildly , is there a difference in the self-perception of this song, uh, or how before americans did not understand at all, thought that it was always an american song, or did they still know that this song is not an american song , and has this understanding changed after february 24, and

not yet, i think. but i hope that after the concert, many americans will better understand that this is from ukraine, and that today is from ukraine, and i think after on the 1st of february, there is more curiosity about ukrainian culture about ukrainian music and understand to understand what is ukraine and how can we support ukraine against russia and so on but now there is more interest but not yet understanding about this song but i hope that after the concert after you and after our many americans will understand that this is part of our work
