today's massive shelling of ukrainian territory by russian missiles is like a whole the year is changing, the russians are attacking, causing pain in ukraine, causing losses, but we are becoming

stronger and stronger every day, and in general, in the 22nd year, the full-scale invasion of the russian federation caused great grief in hundreds of thousands of ukrainian families. but at the same time, this year made the ukrainian nation much stronger, maybe one of the strongest nations in the whole world, maybe it ’s not quite correct if we in this studio talk about ourselves like that, but internally we feel that on february 24, we ukrainians became much stronger, respectively, and the title of our broadcast today is the year 2022, the beginning of the ukrainian era in the 23rd year, we hope for a final victory and that we will drive out all muscovites from all our ukrainian lands, this is the project of the great lviv , today we will sum up the 22nd year and try to predict what awaits us in 2023 , congratulations to everyone, the espresso

tv channel is on the air of the nta tv channel, as well as on the social networks of the project, great lviv is speaking, in particular, on youtube, if you are here with us, then of course subscribe to our youtube channel. this is for us it is extremely important and thank you for being with us, if you are our regular viewers, also write comments today with what emotions and thoughts you are living this year because it is so difficult to understand that it is already ending, but according to the calendar, 2022 is a difficult year coming to an end and we will try to arrange certain accents to analyze the most important events of this year and even think about what awaits us in the next year, this is definitely very important for us, we present the guests who will share with us in the studio today with his thoughts also andrii sharaskin bohema cyborg people's deputy of ukraine is with us today we congratulate you andrii dreykiv captain of the armed forces of ukraine head of staff of voluntary formations of territorial communities levy at the core of the military-civilian

administration of the public group for the future mykola veresen, journalist, public and political figure ostap drozdov from us blogger journalist tv presenter writer oleg senyuk people's deputy of ukraine european solidarity retired people's deputy of ukraine from the all-ukrainian union motherland, good evening, good health , the year 2022 takes away the best of us, we must now start with the words that, well, for me personally, it is possible during all the broadcasts of the projects, says the great lviv will be one of the most difficult. secretary of the lviv city council this is one of the inspirations of our project without exaggeration, we can

say it now on the air volodymyr leonidovych that is what we always called him off the air volodymyr leonidovych with incredible respect always treated this guest and wanted to listen to him not only on the air, but also off the air, a balanced wise opinion of a person with a capital letter, first of all, a person with a capital letter , it was volodymyr leonidovych who inspired, you can say, our project, actually , it was the name of this book. the concept of the development of lviv, great lviv, which was sung a little with volodymyr leonidoch, written by our colleague mr. sytnyk, became one of those moments when we finally decided that this project could and should exist with this name it is incredibly difficult to lose the best people,

but this is the year 2022, we express our sincere condolences to the family of mr. kurt. and of course, we are sad together with them, we can also speak in the studio if there are people willing to share their thoughts, maybe memories of volodymyr, the quota belongs to sinyutka, i would not like to speak about volodya, because i think i have the right to call him that is exactly how it was in the past tense, because in addition to the regalia that you have already mentioned, he was currently the head of the budget commission of the lviv regional council and a member of our political force. but most importantly, he was always an extremely honest and decent person, he is just one of those people against whom society will never have any complaints, he is

just one of those people who can be said to be, if not a moral example, then definitely a person to whom no one will ever have any comments. it is a pity that today he already is not with us, the only thing i want to say is that those people who tomorrow will have such an opportunity and tomorrow at 11:00 in vinniki, where the farewell to volodymyr leonidov will take place, because he is definitely worth it that those people who knew him and believed in him should be there on this day together with him, because really , a lot will be said and written about this person, and if someone looked into tomorrow, if someone believed in the future of lviv and ukraine, then it is definitely volodymyr kvort to talk about those events that are

extremely important and about which volodymyr kvort was thinking and pondered like this and which make up our lives every day and now it's a war and everything related to it and we also want to invite one more participant to our broadcast, this is also our traditional guest just at this time, you always know in the last days of the year when we we are broadcasting the big lviv project , this is andriy sagan, an artist and now a soldier of the national guard of ukraine. good evening, andrii. we are glad to see you. we already have such a small tradition on the eve of next year. they say the messages they give and try to depict it in the form of certain images, how he sees it depicted in this picture, what the

next year will look like, we can now see on what was 2022 like in andriy sagan's opinion? and we knew exactly then at the end of december that the next year would be difficult, that he was preparing many difficult events for us, but so difficult. we couldn't even imagine it. huts under the roofs of which we thought about what they could mean that people who will have many houses, it is possible and there are these ukrainians who are now scattered in different countries all over the world, so i personally would very much like andrii that the current picture was more life-affirming and victory was not depicted in it, but here, how will it go, how will you feel, too, such thoughts, so much energy in our studio, then we will share our thoughts, the year 2022 for ukrainians became the year

when there were significantly fewer semitones, and maybe they are not became and in general, i would like to start a conversation with ostap drozdov about this, uh, painful losses every day, painful losses on the other side, every day, the ukrainian nation is getting further, going further, stronger. how will you analyze this year? i thought for a long time because this year i even calendar-wise, i can't structure something for myself, because i honestly don't remember in particular how there was no summer, autumn, or spring , it's all here in some such one i will often say this these days it's in one february and it's the month of february in february, in fact, and we are now living through the year of february, it is just as fierce, and it is even very

symptomatic that you invited me to the canvas. leylom national guard yes, she is in the guard of ukraine and this is exactly that year of miniatures, now history is written by people in such uniforms and this and that and this is very correct, just like that today with presenting the start of our program, i generally see such a deep symbolism in this that it actually gives answers to all the artist's questions, just so, so, artist , you suddenly became a man in camouflage in one year and you have to leave this story and you draw this story, i don't know how andriy is now, and i will be able to paint this year and i am more than

sure that there will be a lot of bright colors, despite all the blackness and darkness, of course, in which we live and despite the white suffering, when i summarize this year for myself , i divide it very clearly, and even before i would have bitten my tongue not to say it, but now, in principle, 10 months have already passed to say this, for myself, i have already clearly divided the people's war as a shift in society and i very passionately support your title that you formulated how the beginning of the ukrainian year yes and that's exactly how i see it too, uh, i will repeat it many more times but for for me, this is precisely the zero year of ukrainian history and if i had earlier
