yes, yes, and we first asked for a bomb shelter in the basement, er, next door, in the maternity house, and the stork was lowered, well, there was very little space, and er, the security offered us, er, that we inspect the neighboring school for a storage area, first there there were no mattresses there, there were very few, then the volunteers brought mattresses, water, we would settle down in a corner, er, put some dots there, and all night, all night, er, i heard rumbling upstairs. and what about the children, how did they perceive what was going on around, because near gostomel i understand that it was very scary, there was a lot of noise, there was a crop of aircraft, there were arrows, how do you comfort them, no

, the children, the children were definitely scared, but they got used to trusting us and listened and followed all my instructions, eh. i told the children , we explained what was happening. children, the war began and when we went to the bomb shelter and i told them to take warm things in the base, they took warm blankets and water, there must be someone there, crackers, cookies, we take everything with us and we went to the bomb shelter and spent there on this night i think that the parents themselves, er, just hung up your phone, yes, i think that the parents of the whole team called you. what should i do? no, they hung up on me because

i was in a group in viber. i asked every step. what are we doing, what are we, what are we doing? and there we advised a couple of parents with them what would be the best thing to do, and when i, well, first of all, the parents wanted us to return to kharkiv ani and not the other way around, because the whole nation is against western ukraine and well, it would just be more difficult for us there. i understand that i built a route from dogna to pole bo at that time, kharkiv was also in kharkiv, it was also hot. but my parents decided that we should move in the direction of kharkiv, and we were constantly in touch with the basketball federation of ukraine, and they

helped as much as they could, and they helped the ivano-frankivsk team. the carrier arrived and ivan franko's team took them to the station, they went to safer regions, we understand what was happening in the kharkiv region. so where did you and your team end up in the end ? you can get out as you want, that is, i just left it like that well, i saw a bus standing there that brought groceries, it had six seats and he says that he will get off and get off, and i say iron, but one baby was taken from me right away from pusche-vodytse, and

when we approached this bus, and i left 13 girls with my girls. i told them, i don't know how you will do it. well, we all have to get in this bus and go to the railway station, and they, uh, sat down on the seats in the trunk one by one the beast pushed its things from above and the girls climbed on top of these things but we still got to the railway station. there were a lot of people there. i sat down with the children at the bottom of the crossing and probably ran upstairs for about 4-5 hours. of course, we didn't have any horseshoes, but i went to the women's and said, take us , sweetie. here i have tickets to kharkiv for six in the

evening , but kharkiv does not accept escorts. oil for the children to come in and we were still driving for such a long time, it was scary when the conductor told us everything was turned off, the lights were turned off, the telephones closed the curtains and we were there for about 20 minutes . -e field, i clearly know. it's a very big responsibility, it's stress, it's fear, not only for the children, but also for you, but in the conditions of a full-scale war, you are responsible for the lives of other people's children, er, you are with them

every minute, you were there, i don't know, slept together, ate together hid together. how did you cope with it? well, first of all, i don't remember that i, then when we were already in a dangerous place, i cried. and before that, i didn't cry, and i always had my brain working like computers, i don't remember the face of my emotions, i remember what i thought, i was constantly looking on the internet , looking at the environment, everything was perceived . our children were. well, my children were well grounded together, they did not ask any questions.

questions because they helped me, but how many days passed until you took them away and settled all the children? well, look somewhere. we arrived at night in the dnipro , er, curfew, and no one dared to come after us. i understand that, and we spent the night at the station. the bus that our mother and the girl who played for the national team from krasnograd agreed on. she agreed on the bus. the city council provided these buses . i i was waiting for my parents and they left, took

the children and drove on. so where were you all this time apart from your own family, while you were taking care of the children, so they stayed there in kharkiv in the first days of the war, which russia was shelling every day and then decided to evacuate so when you all met i met my family. i congratulate you that already on march 8, we were sitting together at a big table, and until march 8, in my opinion, on march 7, my last child was taken away from me, and i already moved, well, my family came to krasnograd, but i stayed in social center to the last child so, when the last child was taken away, i was already reunited with my family, you are now in kroprypnytskyi, you all live together, right, yes,

what do you do? i don't know if you managed to return to your favorite business. the first time, everything was fine . we liked krasnograd there, uh, us we were surrounded by very nice people, but neither in kharkiv nor in krasnograd could we train, and we decided as a family, or we have a family of coaches, er, to go to kropyvnytskyi, our in-laws invited us to their place because here you can do, you can do what we can do the best, probably everyone now needs everyone needs to do what he knows how to do best and we came to kropyvnytskyi with the sole purpose of working with children, we came here at the beginning of april. i

turned to my director of sports school number 13 in kharkiv because glue is in every city. i don't have friends and acquaintances here, but my colleague definitely has friends and acquaintances here. i want to thank you very much for your work in saving children and we hope that victory awaits everyone soon. and we are each trying on our front approaching her, it was eleonora chek, a basketball coach, and i was not afraid of this word heroine , thank you very much, and the marathon, come on, ukrainian sports are going through difficult times, like all ukrainians, hundreds of sports facilities in ukraine, if not destroyed, were damaged by enemy russian missiles, and our athletes indomitable, they continue to train and defend the country's honor at international

sports competitions in war conditions, let's talk further. and in our studio today, one of the most famous kharkiv athletes, the triathlete kovalenko, i'm you welcome to the studio. good day. you ran the iron man triathlon distance in the summer. it seems to be the most difficult thing in sports, so let's explain to the audience that you need to run, swim and ride a bike correctly. everything is correct and this is the most difficult distance. one day, which is held in competitions, it is three and eight kilometers, 3-9 km of swimming, 180 km of cycling and 42 km of running , marathon distances a-a, that is, how many kilometers in total, 26 km, yes, in one day. i have a hobby. i have bolts. the main job i work for. i am the director of a hotel in the city of kharkiv, and until

february 24, sports was also my hobby, which i engaged in and enjoyed. the war began and i tried i am a volunteer to help my country's military, and in july i decided to do this distance during one of the training sessions in order to raise funds for our military, that is, your hobby has become a source of income, so for ours, to help ukraine, but i know that in ukraine, while iron man it takes place in different countries of the world, and you ran a long-distance race. as they say, in the front zone. so we are in- i invited my friends to help me, to support me during the distance, to be next to me, and the escort car was next to me. and that's why we did it and collected almost uah 600,000, which were handed over to the military of the kharkiv region. do you know what you spent this money on? i would buy two

cars, several thermal imagers, winter tires for cars and tires. this was not the last marathon in which you took part. marathon of the indomitable yes, when we ran from the guest house to the airport where our plane was destroyed. a dream and honors, how important is this to you? to take part in such races through running, through sports, you can pay attention to society, some problems, for now, this is a problem - this is the rehabilitation of our military . it's post-war syndrome, that's why my friends and i agreed that we will go through the run and appeal to the society that this problem exists and we need to solve the conditions as soon as possible. therefore, together with maksim, pavel and our team, we did it and this project will continue to develop, we currently have agreements with the united states of

america to hold a small marathon with the military there, there is a large military hospital in the city of zinccinati, which have already answered that they can help us in our case and this money they will also be used for the center in this way, i emphasize to the audience that this is a center for the psychological rehabilitation of the military. and you say you will go abroad, so do a race there, and now sports is just such a platform, thanks to which you can convey to to the whole world about what is happening in ukraine ah, but sports are still used now and they are used correctly in order to help , how do you do it, but sports itself is now in a very difficult situation in ukraine, we see how many stadiums have been bombed, so in chernihiv it is possible look in irpen here in kharkiv in kharkiv all over the country as a sport it is possible he is without money but the sacrifices at the same time are money for ukraine well er now every ukrainian will do everything possible to

help ukraine our military therefore despite for all the destruction that we have in the sports infrastructure of our country. we are able, thanks to the armed forces of ukraine, thanks to everyone who defends our country, we can engage in this sport, we can convey these problems through sports and do everything possible to collect these funds and help our military, but many of the athletes did not train for a long time, yes, in february, march, april, someone was in the occupation, someone simply did not have the opportunity to train, well, they did some exercises at home. yes, but at the same time, now our athletes show a high achievement. how is this possible? well, you know, it is such a motivation when you raise our flag, it already symbolizes victory, the victory of ukraine and the victory of our military, and this is a strong motivation , because raising our flag and representing

our country is already motivating as much as possible. that's why these victories are cool. the results now abroad, what our athletes are showing, uh, this is the unification of these ukrainian forces. yes, we have a lot of gold medals during this time. synchronists could also mention the track and field athletes of our paralympians. de-plympians who set records this year, the shakhtar futbo club, which performed very successfully in the champions league this year, and all these people, in addition to raising the flag of ukraine, that they again and again draw attention to our country, they encourage people to do sports, inspire those who do not it is possible to engage in it now and not put an end to one's career, that's how athletes who cannot go to competitions due to one or another reason do not finish their sports

, this is such a very difficult - a difficult question, i think that all athletes who do not have the opportunity to do their favorite hobby now and they are engaged in volunteer activities but i am sure that after our victory they will return to sports and show even cooler results and show the whole world that ukraine is strong not only on the battlefield, not only in people and also sports results, you do a lot of volunteering, you don't leave your job when you have enough time to do some sports after all, in order to run, you have to drive 226 kilometers to swim you have to train every day for a few hours now i train less but usually the training takes place early in the morning when everyone is still sleeping and already in the evening when they return home, training takes place in the morning and in the evening, taking into account the war, all

the circumstances, what is the current attitude towards ukrainian athletes in general, sports in the world is respect respect for our athletes are so great as respect looks like they just walk down the streets somewhere in our suits so yellow and blue just fit ordinary ordinary citizens there in brazilians in other cities simply hug, simply hug and say that you and i are treated to coffee, treated to coffee, skipped in queues, yes, no, there are such stories. well, if our country receives respect from the

world, it goes to our athletes, then it goes to russian and belarusian athletes. just ignoring, so do you think it is right that they were suspended from these competitions ? major that they don't allow russian belarusian athletes to compete because it demotivates, well, it's wrong. i think that the organizer is responsible for you, the organizers supported and even displayed their logo, for example, iron man , and in ukraine, in yellow and blue colors, and on send what's up we will not take part in the world championship, there were no russian athletes, but they had the opportunity to register through other countries, such as turkmenistan, uzbekistan, even germany, and

several athletes were there. and you know about that how did they communicate with ukrainian athletes? among my acquaintances, even until february 24, there were some dialogues in communication after that, no communication. there are no relations between our athletes that i know of and russian athletes. well, we know a lot that russian athletes are now taking citizenship of other countries . in order not to put an end to their careers, in particular, there are figure skaters, who were suspended for 15-16 years, almost all russian athletes, some of whom have russian citizenship, but not all belarusian ones. why is that because we we know that now there will be qualification for the european football championship, there is a national team of belarus, we know that belarus is also helping this aggressor against our country, why so, i don't know, let's see what happens next, i would suspend all of iran, too, 100%

because now is the world championship, yes, from football and there is the iranian national team, which is not the sponsor of this terrorism, what is it now in our country, the russians can change their citizenship, they can lead to perform under the flag of another country, but how to change their attitude to themselves, that's how they come. somewhere for a competition, let's say in athletics, there everyone knows that last year you were from russia. now you came, i don't know, from kazakhstan, only you are russians, well, how can they come and just communicate with other athletes, the attitude has changed one hundred percent of every athlete from russia , i know it and i was told that they are performing under other flags and representing another country, well, this is their last chance , apparently, to somehow perform at those competitions for which they have been preparing for a long time, and this is nothing if you do it, they will speak from other countries, they will

raise foreign flags or even not present any ukraine at all, and this can also happen, but the attitude of everyone is the same, but at the same time they are silent and silent, i do not say anything, so they do not speak out against the russian authorities, although they already live abroad they already have another passport, the russian soul and society are all so mysterious. how long do you think it takes for our sport to come to its senses? well, after the victory. and when there is a victory, it will motivate and give our athletes the opportunity to play sports again, the entire sports infrastructure will be restored, and i believe that by the next olympics, by the next world championships, we will recover, get in shape and show everyone a better result and raise the flags in the first place in all competitions, i have no doubt about this

, and one of the olympics should soon be somewhere in is it possible for us to have a winter season in bukovel or a summer season in crimea, as the state should take part in the restoration of sports and sports, according to which it is necessary to restore all infrastructures in parallel with children's kindergartens and schools because our children are all our future and the same athletes are also raising children a-a but i believe that thanks to our e-e western partners i think they will pay attention and we athletes will try to do everything possible to pay attention society to help us with the restoration of our sports infrastructure, we also have a lot of sportsmen working abroad, so many sports schools have gone there, where the children are 10-12-15 years old. that is, this is our future generation of sportsmen and if we can bring them back home, we will all succeed,

because you know there is no better place than where you were born, where you grew up and where you started your career there, sports or sports, it doesn't matter, but those i talk to all want to return home, these athletes, this coaching staff, and from other spheres of business there, everyone wants to return home. i am sure that everyone will return because ukraine is now a strong nation, a strong state, and it will only get better in the future, that is, there is no need to even make an effort, so i am not alone in this i'll be back. i'm sure of it. well, we're waiting for them, we're waiting for victory, and tell me more. what kind of face does ukrainian sport have now? in your opinion, it's an authoritative sport that represents our ukraine abroad and shows high results,

regardless of the situation, the circumstances that we we have in our country. that's why it's a strong sport. i mean , it's strong in such an organization, but it 's probably even better, even stronger. by the way, you say that you talk a lot with athletes and with the military. of course, it's possible that we help the military we communicate with the military. we have requests for what they need, and we make every effort to fulfill these requests. you have joint events, i don’t know . sportsmen , even from our club, who went to the front and are now defending our country, i am sure that after the victory there will be time and we will organize such big sports competitions and events with the military

and volunteers because it is necessary, sports at all such a thing that ah gives a person the strength of emotions, so without sports there can be no rehabilitation, we even want to add sports events to our rehabilitation because it charges , it not only charges but also calms correctly 100% yes, it is possible i don’t know, there is some very simple exercise that will suit all ukrainians to relieve all this stress. it can be a 15-10-minute exercise, it can be a short run, an easy run, because running gives this emotion of happiness in the hormone of happiness, which is released or fast walking or fast walking yes, of course, by the way, i think that the iron man competition will take place after the war is over. well , representatives of other countries will simply have no chance,

so if our military wants to participate, they are now so hardened, they are now so strong, what about you if they are athletes from your of the club how do you tell those who are fighting now that after the victory they will simply pass and take all the medals there and we will do everything possible to make it happen as soon as possible i thank you very much for the conversation for coming to our studio i wish you have new victories and we are waiting for you to report how the races will be held abroad yes thank you very much for the inspiration and say hello to all the ukrainians there thank you this is the end of the night shift colleagues will continue the broadcast the marathon continues see you in a few days ukrainian gives freedom we have 45 synonyms to the word beat and you are free to choose exactly how you want to get even with the meeting, who else puts not

just a dot above and but two dots above and it is difficult to convey your feelings because there are no words, create new ones , this is how we got the art of a dream, the ukrainian language free on november 13, 1708, moscow troops destroyed the hetman's capital baturyn and brutally killed all its inhabitants, about 15,000 ukrainians, the crimes of the kremlin. they always say that we can repeat real ukrainians, peace-loving, kind-hearted, and

also our hearts, as long as they do not touch us, because if we go to war against us, the nation will show cossack character to live in peace the greatest value is to win the cause honor the rules of a warm country healthy care thank you for adjusting the heater and monitoring the sufficient temperature without spending money on the wind let's beat the winter together, the rules of a warm country, a high-rise building, unite with neighbors, inspect the house, attract specialists for insulation

, prepare batteries, repair and adjust windows and doors, check electrical wiring, take care of a warm room and personal heating devices, take care of those who are more difficult to develop an action plan in an extreme situation, discuss the need for a backup generator, equip a room for joint heating, we will defeat the winter together in the defense of the east , see what a tank battle near bakhmut looks like in our report from the front line running goods for a few days
