[000:00:00;00] er, and i am very pleased that now they ask me to sing this song and sing it in concerts, but besides that, for example, i wrote the song come back alive in 2014, i wrote the song kiss me goodbye because the war did not start on february 24 of this year, it started in 2014 that's why these two songs resonate. kiss me goodbye in 2014, come back alive. actually, in the spring of this year, when i wrote the song hug me goodbye, it was 2014. i wrote it, recorded it just under the guitar, put it on my youtube channel and on facebook page and literally two days later, i received a slide show that was made by the soldiers. thank you to maria burmak-borman for the song and the song come back lives on the front lines and for the soldiers, i am singing here, for example. there is a brigade that goes through rotations. and literally now there will be several performances

but about these performances. as a rule, i speak after the fact so as not to say where i will be in the near future, which brigade is on rotation, it will happen, but the other day i will write on facebook and tell you that you actually know how to sing to the boys in the war it's not really about the war, that's why i sing some songs about love , the songs they know, the sun is in the direction of the rain, don't be afraid to live. -th of the album of heroic songs by oleg skrypka hey on the mountain on makivka i sing it because i recorded it 10 years ago and now for some reason she often plays it in supermarkets and shops that's why i sing what they want to sing together those songs they know sorry not because a fish, even this is a clip that was not so long ago. well, kiss me goodbye and come back alive, it's me, uh, well, i sing in other concerts, because i sing to the guys who are on the front lines

, come back alive, and that's how we pray. that's how we're afraid to think, and this is a song, right? not only about a loved one, this is a song about all those close to me. i have a brother, for example, he is an artilleryman in the 43rd brigade, he is currently in a military hospital. therefore, it is about everyone we are waiting for from the war, it is not only boys, because i have many girls who you are also on the front line recently they wrote, well, how recently. last year, about the son of your close friend, who also died. and in general, in this clip, come back alive, there are a lot of photos of the heroes that were used, that is , when the photo was taken, it was a lot of photos for the first time. it was taken by igor zakharenko, who is now working as a well-known traveler. but who is currently working as a military correspondent, he took a lot of portraits and i turned to him because i wanted to take portraits of these people he photographed, there are already people who are no longer alive, but when i made the video

everyone was alive. in addition, there are many musicians who went to defend ukraine. this is vitaliy kyri . good morning. ukraine is coming back. she is already awake. she is already awake . taras kompanichenko is andrii khlyvnyuk. this is foma. there are many, well, many people i know . these are people who are absolutely not military. professions this is artem chekh, a writer, this is artem polizhaka, a poet, this is ion zenkov, a video director, this is misha panchyshyn, who was the winner of a talent show, and my brother is there, and valery fyodorovych zaluzhnyi is there, and i then after the fact everyone i know like yurchenko do things, i wrote that i took your or your photo there, whether it was good or possible , and i also wrote to valery fedorovych, and he wrote that it was possible, and for me it does not clean. we talk a lot about this song, but i don't know, maybe someone in the audience didn't hear, let's play a little for him. let's play it too. all the songs i write are written to the guitar, and this

song is. well, i'm wrong and i cried because when you write, you don't think. now i will write a song about that about that these are the words that just break my heart to be said where is my soul there are battles going on we will not give up my native land where is my land ah my heart is there i he and you we will not give you back alive i pray to you and god as

i love you where you are now only the war is going but i pray come back alive the voices of relatives and loved ones are crying the war scattered them around the world they recognize us but we are standing but i pray come back alive i am begging you only god knows how i love you where you are now only war go come back live ukraine is all like one fist and victory is important to us, the sign of victory, the angel will protect you in the battle ahead, embrace you with wings, come back alive and i pray to you, only god, how

i love you where you are now, only the war is going on, but i will, come back alive, come back alive, i know you only god how i love you, where you are now just go to war, but i pray, come back alive, you know. i think that this song is just, well, the anthem of the last months. you know, these are the words that are actually a prayer. this is what we say and what you know. there are a lot of close friends on the front lines, and you said about my son. my friends, this is roman raushny, the son of svitlana povalyaeva, taras raushny, i remember how this child was born, we worked on television and these people worked with me, i remember how roman was born, i remember artemia demyd

, every boy, every person, this is a person in my heart and uh, when i say my prayer in my own words, even then, i ask you to come back alive for everyone. when my brother was on the front line, he was in the hospital, it hurts, but glory. he is alive for everyone. when i i pray. i say come back alive and so about every son, brother, father, uh, because this is a terrible war and we are losing beautiful people, and this is possibly the most terrible thing that is happening now, because victory will come sooner or later, you know i am uh, it is clear that i am an optimist, i am doing everything that maybe it depends on me to bring this victory closer, i collect funds

, i record songs, well, that is, i help as much as i can, i help the military hospital, everything that can be done, something can be done. will not know when, but it will be because good must defeat evil and it is terribly painful to understand that so many people who gave their lives for this probable future victory of ours will not see it, that's why it's all work, that's why it's all volunteering, and that's why it's now this year you know, he took away some kind of layering, fake show business, because these are all some unreal, uh, cardboard values, and you just want to, you know. well, i always tried not to give up. it seems to me that now everyone is trying to be and not give up. yes, but there are na it's a pity, we talked about the song that it really has a soul in it and it is for them yes, but there are now musicians who are hyped on the topic of war like this. how do you feel about modern ukrainian creativity, where, in my opinion, there are a lot of redundant , redundant likes, guys, girls need to sing with

matyuks e- yes, is it necessary? well, why do it? because, er, i, er, i try not to survive without using vocabulary. er, my friend from kharko , serhiy zhadan. he brought a book to viktor pavlovych about the war reconstruction there, to all my friends and mariyka for their inborn, i will not say this word, let's say it's rudeness or recklessness , but it was said like that, and dad sometimes says it , it's not about you, i'm saying no, dad, it's not about me , but my father, he was a historian and he, uh, really didn't understand when, why, there are only a lot of mutts, but you know, times are tough now, everyone expresses themselves as best they can, i still think that uh, well , first of all, you don't need to bother yourself about the hype , you know, we don't know the hype i was always on

everything, people write about what surrounds them, we don't we don't measure sincerity, who is sincere, who is sincere, of course people live in war and write about war, it comes out sincerely from someone, we understand that it may not be sincere, but i will not give grades because someone can, it seems to me that it is not so much that it is not from the heart, but a hype man doesn't think so, it's not water, i like it well, now, modern who shot the last year, guys and girls are young and generally i've never heard of them before, but now they're in the top who do you like modern ukrainian pop music from those songs that i heard that impressed me with musicians, it may not seem very young to you, but arsen mirzoyan without restrictions a-a band fiolet eh yurko yurchenko actually writes very cool, you can watch it on youtube eh further from eh well you want to say there from the generation of young jericho just fantastic songs

about what she feels and lives such projects young how is it then a very , very young guy this is the tik-tok hero golubenko denys golubenko from vinnytsia there are so many now i listen to it all i really like it dima sings a very cool song she recorded lyrical songs, but you know, even lyrical songs, we understand that they are being written now during the war, that's why, well, that's all i listen to, what i like and what i note, and those people who hyped like that, they're always hyped, now they're hyped, they're not in my playlist there is something in my playlist that i really like. what do you think? now we are on the way to overcoming and eradicating in ukraine the remnants of the russian soviet e-e culture, yes, that was imposed on us for years, even on the eyes of the youth artists, they can kill all those who we are used to seeing them on billboards. well, they used to come to us with their songs, and in general, how long do we still have to wait to move away from

the notion that one nation is imposed on us and so on? well, this is actually a struggle that goes on for centuries and centuries ukraine a- and tried to separate from the empire and, well, you know, having a father who is a historian. of course, i always knew how to draw parallels, and when my father was still alive, he has been gone since the 16th year, he said that there would be a big war because the empire would not let go of the countries that already she shrunk because i understood what it would be, i also understood if you listen to my interviews and what i wrote well , it wasn't popular and only a few understood that and pop music is a turn-off in show business, it's that light force that conquers the mind, conquers, had to conquer hearts in fact philip kirkorov and baskov, they were on our land so that later there would be people who, well, the mass of those who are not , those who ask themselves questions, and those who

listen to mass culture, so that they would meet with flowers as relatives of these people, and that was it was specially made and everything was rushed huge funds and it tried and tried to host ukrainian performers in moscow to show that it is one people, it was clear that it would be like this, you just had to be able to think and read and draw historical parallels, it was so what is happening now, now this understanding passes with blood and pain and in fact so much with pain with er zeal that these are the roots and removal of monuments to pushkin and tchaikovsky, for example, even though tchaikovsky is supposed to have what does he have to do with this and or russian ballet, and he has what does this have to do with the legitimization of the great russian culture? and why is culture needed to raise people from people, raise not animals but people, and we can say that, in general , great russian culture has not coped with this task because what the russian

military is doing er, they go beyond the boundaries of humanism and civilization in general, so maybe it will be possible to return to that someday, you know, er , hmm, like er, to the people who wrote works in the times of hitler's germany, but art is not just art, what is art for? in order for you to awaken the soul in a person. let's see the huge countries that listened to morgenstern listen to these texts in general . well, he may have said something there . but listen, listen to these texts, these are immoral texts, this is more terrible in our country, they listened to it in ukraine, you understand, a person who thinks like an animal whose soul is corrupted, she has no values, she does not think in terms of christian values ​​or er principles, she thinks in terms of what was imposed on her, and then it turns out that human beings can kill other people , for example, but what did this culture do to that again, you know, we also cannot say that show business and

mass culture are ideal. but we still had and still have people who , i believe, are at least some kind of moral authority, that is , they still broke through this uh, well, the mass wall of some kind of cheapness oh cheapness of soul and what are you, obviously that's why it actually happened well, the force works gives the power to oppose it, the more they attack us, the more our people hate them, you said that you knew about it, that you studied history, you knew that there was a great war, that is february 24 was not a surprise for you first of all, february 24 was a surprise for everyone that started with the bombing. i will tell you that for this year, i had a planned project. i made such a project. my favorite classics, from shevchenko to stus, this project was concerts at universities. leading in 2001 in kharkiv, we are the alma mater in vinnytsia, the stus university in zhytomyr, in lviv, in the eye, and for this year

a project of favorite classics for our defenders was planned , that is, there was already an agreement of the national guard that it would be by military units on e-e universities in e-e in educational in parts there were such concerts, these were songs with musicians, i played, sang, i wrote these songs and told stories about our classics, but not what they teach in school, but what i , as you know, like pearls, found something interesting somewhere and a letter was signed signed by oleg duka from the minister of defense for cyber ​​security and anna malyar, i was at a meeting with them to support this project because it is necessary, because our soldiers protect our territories, our people, but our history and our culture, and we talked about the fact that an attack is possible, but no one i thought that it would be so cruel. that is, they can bomb civilian houses in the 21st century. this was, of course, a discovery for

me. well, you know, they broke the bottom, but the fact that there will be a full-scale invasion, before that, all the warnings, the development in general, how it happened, that is, i understood what it would be. i bought a sawmill in january of last year and an ax to cut firewood, my friends said that what would you do if there was a war, but it was clear that putin would not stop from the 14th year, but even before that, independence is was er de jure, but it was not de facto all economic ties, cultural ties, political ties, russia felt at home and sooner or later she would like to return it, that is, historically, it was very i often felt that it would happen sooner or later , and this happened. they went to volunteer, and how did the full-scale campaign begin? well, you are many volunteers, and besides singing , you give charity concerts. what do you do here? we have

a photo, this is a fund. e revive, as it is correctly called, is actually volunteer work it is full of activities, it is different, it lasts from the sweetness of the cream, since the beginning of the war, uh, that is, i did a lot of cooking borzhki, terrodefense, this is volunteering well, of course, well, but i just cooked it at home in the kitchen , they brought out, they fed me, so in a few times, singing the national anthem from the window, volunteering is simple i sang to them for the children to sing, too, volunteering in our district, in our district, there was such an initiative in the first months of the war, older people did not go down to the shelter and did not even open the door and did not go to get medicine, my popularity played as the king simply knows me and that's why they open the door for me, that's why they bought medicine, food and delivered pensioners to old people. we saw the window and marichka and opened the door , that is, that's how later i was invited to poland to help the foundation with the humanitarian aid center .

they send cargo to me and people find this humanitarian aid through me . the question of trust broke the similarities. i hear that about $100,000 was collected, minus the expenses, that is, clean, because this is very important . you know, sometimes they organize concerts of musicians and, uh, expenses for the stage, for travel , they did not earn 10 thousand dollars, and then they spent more. for the prosthetics of our soldiers who came with us, here is iryna, the head of the fund, you see me, boris kharchuk, the hero of ukraine and the national hero from zhytomyr, these are people who have no arms, no two legs, no legs, and this is the money for their

prosthetics, that is, minus the expenses we collected a hundred thousand dollars at these concerts. there were also auctions, and even with us, these guys were prosthetics, because bionic prostheses are made without the presence of soldiers. they come, and it brings tears to your eyes when you see that in three days the prosthesis has already been put on trial. she begins to walk, that is, it was in december , it was a fundraiser in october, there was a trip to edmonton, the invitation was several years ago, but then the lockdown began , the war began, and here i came, there were six concerts in four days, and we collected funds and these funds were transferred to the military hospital through a charity fund around er there for the project of expanding the reception department and that's why now, for example, my friends in prague have taken the funds i will also transfer to the volunteers of iryna soloshenko of the military hospital, that is , you know, volunteering, it can be different, someone from the plate nets, it is important that someone sorts the ones that deliver humanitarian aid

. ruslan horovy, for example , this is the husband of ludmila horova, who wrote these eyes to you. what can i cut off all this in america in canada there were more well poland germany was yes and there who comes to concerts you say six concerts in four days that's a lot of people someone loves who are these people here for example this example six concerts in 4 days this is for example i had two concerts, one performance - this is the ukrainian diaspora, these are songs with a guitar, songs that they know. these are folk songs, uh , you know, i can do a full-fledged concert of various songs with a guitar, the songs are now minus the instrumental, because the musicians it's difficult to carry with me now, but i still wrote a lot of songs for children in the franka theater. there is a performance

. my mother said no to my children's songs. there were two or three ukrainian children, 200 to 250 children each, and all these children are in the gym, small with a guitar. i give them a concert. that is, these are concerts for children, but these are 200-300 children who were sheltered by one or another school, as well, for example, in germany and ireland ukrainian school near nuremberg, i came up with a play about st. nicholas and we staged this play there in prague, as well as st. nicholas in europe , st. nicholas comes to us on the 19th, and here it is used on the sixth , i.e., the 5th. not the fifth, not the 19th, our refugees ask a lot of children , and mykolaiv will find me in prague or in munich or somewhere there. it it's very tight in schools, for example, especially there, i remember this case when a small boy approaches in canada, says the energy agent, that

is, our children study with canadian children, our children with german children and they somehow nod to someone and they like them, they sing together and the children approach and how is it here ukrainian i canadian boy i say i thank you for being friends with ukrainian children you sang songs i saw it thank you for that here you know for for adults for children someone remembers the 89th year of the songs that i sang there 30 years ago and someone just now a children's song is starting to sing. and there is a song that resonates with foreigners or not at concerts abroad. what do they like the most? let's say so, uh, you know . if we talk about uh, now we were talking about children's songs, i'll sing them to you. a song based on a poem by pavel tychyna that resonates with absolutely everyone. well, my ruhanka is also invented , for example. let's sing the ruhanka when

you're at home. you 've been looking out the window for a long time. with us start hands up hands down hands up hands down hands reach for hands stretch arms to the sides turn arms to the sides turn left right bend left right bend head leave head to china and hands wave and hands wave with us the world is moving the world is moving hello to you all uh and everyone and everyone in the morning should put on such a ruhanka every day, there are a lot of videos where children in schools just flew off with the ruhanka, they do it to this song and believe me, there are no indifferent ruhanka and i went to the grove ku-ku-ku then all the children ukrainian speakers are foreign, but they are not foreign, but children from those countries. in other words, all

of them make and study in the ukrainian language because it charges optimism, so actually, i will tell you what these children's songs are for soldiers. everyone just does it with such a measure and everyone for a moment feels like children with such positive emotions to sing about the front well, you know, it doesn't hurt so much, that's why i sing such songs at big concerts. and when i already meet with the military, they are children's songs are going to ora, that's why we have a different mood with the russian troops. because our guys are listening to such cheerful songs at the front, and they are listening to batanya and kombat. well, let's not talk about them. you see then not just ukraine, yes, but ours, let’s give the music of our variety show, what it will be like after the victory, this is a very bloody and very painful lesson of not knowing how everything will

turn out. you and i do not even know if we will be alive at this moment, that is, now such things are happening, terrible explosions -dnipri, for example yes, that is, how many people died who ate apples in the evening, saw this kitchen, and then they were gone. that's why, now, everything is for victory . and as it happens, we will appreciate what we have and literally one verse. that is, i have already said everything in this song. our weapon is truth, strength, will, honor, fire , take it out, our weapon is the power of faith, which puts the head on the banner. that

its hordes are strong in our hearts, ukraine forever our weapon our children our boys and girls who are ready to defend our native ukraine mother our weapon strength of spirit faithful unity of brothers our weapon brother for brother from the strength of ukraine we learned the strength of our state in the struggle i will defeat its hordes strong with our hearts ukraine is forever better and you will not say i thank you very much for what you do for what you give optimism to our children to our displaced soldiers thank you for coming to visit us thank you for the opportunity to sing and say this in your

program and address a large number people, people, we will win, it cannot be otherwise, because good must win , evil embraces everyone , come back alive, mothers, daughters, sisters, strength, thank you, it was a face project for the marathon, living in ukraine is not enough . the darkness is more visible in time, the confusion of people is the brightest, we hold on, even though the hell is not easy, i am tired of holding on to the edge

, fatal mistakes, showers are severe in the flow, in the resource.

we hold on to the truth, we hold on to the flow, it is difficult to hold the rear when the children are at the front , what is going on ? everything is fine . sunday at seven in the morning, the 354th day of russia's full-scale war against ukraine began. let's start with operational information from the general staff of the armed forces. last day, the defenders repelled enemy attacks near 11 settlements in the east
