is to finally destroy the enemy with honor and without pity to of the last battle, join the ranks of the guards of the offensive, it's time to return yours, congratulations, friends, this is the face program , today i have a guest. the beautiful valeriya mikulska is a person who knows more about our country than some local historians . her beauty conquered the desire to be in the center of events and information streams, now valeria contemplates the streams of magical

ukrainian rivers and waterfalls, she knows what the walls of the deepest ukrainian caves are to the touch what does the air of the highest ukrainian mountains taste like, about the incredible beauty of our homeland, about its history and power, valery constantly tells his viewers on the youtube channel that even in the conditions of a full-scale war in ukraine , there is practically no place that was not involved in defense and did not have its own special defense history it doesn't matter where in the mountains or on the plains on the coast or in the forests, swamps, everywhere throughout the turbulent history of our nation , we defended ukraine because there is something to stand for in february 2022 valeriya began filming chronicles of the rear about the ukrainian resistance about the lives of forced migrants about the volunteer front to which the girl herself joined. she collected and delivered

aid to refugees and soldiers , food, medicine, ammunition, equipment and continued to talk about ukrainian unity, which impressed the whole world, we are fundamentally different, i hear and read this phrase now as the mantra is so honest and true because it really is so . we have children covered with their backs from broken glass . has exceeded the provision and that is why our volunteers are moving mountains to provide all our fighters with everything they need , including armor, this is probably more irresponsible production , this is footage from the chronicle of the rear, right , we just saw it when it was filmed. it is already spring , right, the production of body armor is near pervomaiska near my town and er , the production of these bulletproof vests and it is very proud of the guys who i

know very well from, well, not from childhood, but from such a teenage age, at the same time i them i saw completely different, mature and patriotic people. well, they were always patriotic, but it was precisely in such conditions that their best human qualities manifested themselves. i really wanted to record this, since we were actually guided by this when filming chronicles of the rear to show volunteers, show human stories and thereby inspire others don't stand still and do something for victory, you say brave guys, but courage and go where it's dangerous, mykolaiv region, you came there to show people the heroes of today and what's there you visited your homeland, frankly speaking, i would go further and if i had such an opportunity, unfortunately, now i am not tuned into any channel and there is no

official opportunity to film, film as a blogger and go there to expose myself to danger of our military i consider it very irresponsible and therefore if there is such an opportunity i will go further, but mykolaiv region is for me first of all my home and i could not help but see it at this time and could not help but visit and help in whatever way i can in march, i sent a very urgent report to my mother and my husband's mother because the aggravation began and there was a threat that there would be an attack on pervomaisk, too, and very quickly we had to evacuate them to prykarpattia, from which, by the way, my husband and i returned from filming our very bright such and a natural and cultural winter film, and in a few weeks we returned

there evacuating our relatives, but actually we couldn't stay there for a long time because we usually talked with our friends and acquaintances and my mother kept in touch with the mykolaiv region , fortunately our brave defenders did not go any further passed the enemy and stopped, this town took such a position of shallow but still significant importance and began to receive active immigrants from kherson region and mykolaiv region , which was temporarily captured at that time, and this flurry of displaced people who lost absolutely everything, of course, the city could not quite withstand this load at first we began to actively cooperate with volunteers , to call on people to help. and in fact , such a hub was organized that accepted

food items and everything that was needed to provide for the first time and in the future those people who had to receive and were very shy but still went with that support and help cooperation - these are people from ukraine that i know that you cooperated with international partners and wrote about it on facebook. well, in general this is personally with the majority of ukrainians, ukrainians who left ukraine a long time ago and also wanted to help. in the same summer, in pervomaisk, we were able to get a truck with food and hygiene products .

mykolayeva, it turned out that she is the sister of my neighbor, well, in a word, all the connections are very close, and we found each other through handshakes, she has been living in germany for a long time, but she and her husband cooperated with the ukrainian diaspora there and sent us this help they were very grateful. well, as far as foreign partners are concerned, yes, in vorokhta, i saw a very strong such cooperation, because fortunately a large humanitarian hub has opened there, and now i know khrystyna katrak from dorechi, she was visiting you. they started to activate the help of the un mission and send it in all directions, as well as to mykolaiv oblast and kherson oblast and donetsk oblast and luhansk oblast , well everywhere and in the first days there was help even for kyiv oblast so you mentioned the enemy here and there you

started filming the chronicles of the rear, as our viewers saw, were broadcast a lot on the air of the marathon, and you ended up in the west of our country in the first days, why not abroad ? why did you decide to stay, you know, this has always been such a painful question for me, and i am still in and in peacetime until the 14th year and it's already the war period and now when i internally ask myself if i would be able to move somewhere abroad just like this, it's not easy to just take it and decide to move inside me everything is breaking down honestly i'm so much i never even thought that i would be so attached to my countries because i grew up with such uh during the 90s with rosy dreams of an american happy future everyone wanted to go somewhere abroad it was like that it was very popular then and uh somehow it's fashionable to even want

to aspire to it but luckily i somehow like ours i grew up with such deep-rooted patriotism, and i can't even let go of the thought that i have to leave. i have the opportunity to leave. i can take my mother with me and leave. i have relatives abroad , but uh, if everyone goes, who will stay and who will help our to the defenders , who will win, for me this is a fundamental question. i understand and completely share the views of all women who had to leave to save their children. children are the most valuable thing that we have, this is our future and it should be calm, balanced and live in safety, that's why i respect and share the pain of these mothers who left their homes to save their children, but

i don't have children yet, in the future they will be born in a peaceful, free ukraine, but for now i have the opportunity and the will to do it is possible from me and impossible, even if it is necessary for us to win. the first thing we could do was to film what was happening in the west of the country, when there were many immigrants in those early days and you talked with them, uh, there too there were people from mariupol, people from volnovakha, from other cities of kyiv, also a lot of people who were left without relatives, without homes, and so on . and every day you communicate with them. you well, in principle, you can say that you played the role of such a psychologist.

all these stories and maybe there is some story that still doesn't get out of my head. you know, i thought about it for a long time and maybe even i wouldn't have ended up in vorokhta if it weren't for the threat to my parents. i would have stayed in kyiv. the first 10 days were very difficult, but everything well, my heart remained in the capital, but fate made such a choice and i was forced to go to vorokhta this month, and there i faced my most difficult professional interviews. - this is a piece from the heart, it is very difficult when you take it upon yourself, and you definitely take it upon yourself

, this pain and suffering is alive. actually professional journalists back then were involved a little more in other topics, the topics of the offensive of the security of the defense of kyiv were not yet in time, i understood that it is very important to film them right now, fresh, because they are our history, our living history, which will be needed later, and so it happened. it has already been needed in many er documentary works we share this video and these stories with absolutely all journalists there somewhere international or our own and at that moment the task of recording these first human stories was the most difficult for me at that time to communicate with children, there were a lot of children in vorokhta, a small mountain resort village at that time had only 5,000 inhabitants. and they took in the same number of immigrants

. fortunately, the resort infrastructure there, the presence of some hotels and health complexes made it possible to accommodate them more or less comfortably, but they were less involved even the kindergartens of the school were placed wherever there was. perhaps i well remember an interview with the head of a children's er preschool educational institution er because her entire kindergarten was inhabited by temporary immigrants absolutely from different parts of ukraine. yes, she also took in three families at home, and her husband was already at the front at that time. and she accommodated and protected displaced people, it 's just heartbreaking, well, i 'm telling you now. and i have goosebumps, i'm so

faith in the people of our people took root in me then, and i always understood that a certain traveling through ukraine, there is still a certain border between us, our interregions, each region has its own customs, its own views on life , its own worldview. we will all finally hear and understand each other, but it turned out that this war made us so united, well, many people talked about this. and i felt it inside , because i saw how people from completely different parts of ukraine so sincerely gave everything they had to protect, warm, at least a little, somehow ease the fate of those of people who were hurt by this war, it's great that people in the world saw it, that's what i know. you said about it that international channels take interviews. i know that for international documentaries, slovenian is also

broadcast in slovakia and slovenia. the journalist addressed us in this way. well, first of all, he took not only the chronicles of the home front, but also took pieces of beautiful footage of ukraine, and this also inspired me, because most of the journalists now portray exactly the negative events of the war, which are destructive in our country, and that is how the world sees it, but some sometimes pay attention to what ukraine was like before this war . yes, this is mykolaiv oblast, my beautiful granite rocks , landscapes, this is already during the war, we filmed unbreakable chernihiv oblast, by the way, there is potential for tourism. after the war, you know about it. everything, will we be able to restore the flow of tourists from abroad to us, that people will be afraid and see these shots of destruction and so on

. you have known me for many years and you know my practically fanatical belief in this direction in ukraine. i absolutely and very sincerely and openly believe in tourism in ukraine in this peaceful and certainly very profitable industry. i believe that it is necessary to invest in it and to develop it, and now there is an opinion that tourism is not at the time. i was asked about this in the first interviews a few months after the start of the war, after we they saw there in buchi in borodyanka in the destruction of the svyatohorsk lavra and nature reserves there, a terrible ecocide, but you know, i think that now is the right time, because, first of all, tourism is the industry that will help us to stand up morally , it is encouraging, but we are all people and we have

from time to time to something to switch to something good and something beautiful because otherwise we simply will not take it psychologically as they say now no no no there are no such people eh well maybe there are iron people so much that they can endure for a very long time but still there is some kind of limit which odesa and kherson region and kyiv region. by the way, our kyiv desert in poznyaki is about kherson region, although we understand if you ask. you said about ecocide, we understand that the ecosystem of the tuzliv and liman estuaries has already been disrupted by shells and bombs, so we talked to experts, they say that dolphins are simply dying out there and so on. well, we understand that all the reserves of askania-nova and so on are also already suffering from archists

. the ministry of ecology there predicts that it will be decades, even the kinvor spit, which i visited last summer before the large-scale invasion and its capture, what i saw there the day before and what we will see later are radically different pictures and completely different nature, nature is very mutilated in our country, and of course in those affected regions. we will have to put in some effort and involve both the european and the world community in order to do it right, so that these lands are properly restored not just on

the breakdown of the grass, the restoration of the animal world in general, of such an ecological environment, well, it will be necessary to make a little effort but i believe that we will eventually be able to gradually ukraine in terms of tourism and ecology is a country that is just developing despite the fact that we have simply insane potential and a huge basis for e -e to attract tourists to ecological tourism and develop it in ukraine we still have to be honest before the war, even this month we did not do enough to protect it and develop its ecological consciousness tourism literacy is just coming to us. i believe that after this war we will... by the way, this is also one of the positive aspects... which will allow us to develop faster and better, we will start

to protect what we have from birth and from we were born, we have crazy, beautiful, incredibly abundant nature and a country that is worth protecting, there is a country that is worth fighting for, but unfortunately, most of us have a stereotype about tourism in ukraine. yes, we used to understand that we have crimea and the carpathians. well, besides crimea the other coast of the black sea of ​​azov yes no one considered going on vacation somewhere to the kyiv region or to the chernivtsi region to go to chernivtsi and so on, people just thought so banally, but this is different. i think that they saw your programs and see where to go, not only can we talk about beauty now, because i think after the war, many people will go to bakhmut , to sviatohirsk, to cities that were defeated by russian troops after the series about chernobyl . do you remember how people left the chernobyl zone

to see something broken, abandoned, and so on ? i think that after the war, after the exit of many films will also go there, how much will this branch of tourism be? and they are already talking about it today . in my opinion, and many experts agree with me, this kind of military and event tourism must develop and be directed in the right direction, because first of all , the conditions must be created for such tourism was safe, and in order for us to be able to attract tourists

, secondly, it is necessary to weigh some centers of values ​​that we strive to convey to the tourist who will come, because after all, we are now on the information field war is the same, and we have to tell the world who will come to us what happened here and what tragedy ukraine suffered, what tragedy happened in our lands, uh, we have to carry this educational function and prepare very well for it, just randomly let tourists on the ground, of course they i there will probably be such a flow of some blacks, yes, yes, of course, well, without this, no way, but hmm, the state will have to pay special attention to this, because it is important for the whole world, not only for us, but for the whole world, because it is the first time such a war

has been happening for a long time in the middle of europe, and we have to draw conclusions from this, and not only us, but also the whole world after coming and seeing what happened. that's why these by the way, not so long ago i was at a round table meeting organized by the state tourism agency of ukraine and it was the routes that were discussed memory in buchi, the mayor of buchi was present and experts discussed what these memory routes should be so that they do not harm and mentally traumatize the already traumatized residents who will retell this story so that the residents of those places and towns do not felt like animals in the zoo, if you can say so, this is very important because our population and you and i are all psychologically traumatized to varying degrees , of course, but people who have survived, for example , occupation and bombing - this is a very severe

psychological trauma, and therefore it is necessary approach this direction of tourism very carefully. although it will be and it will be very relevant and will be relevant for more than one decade. i think that after this war , there are several objects in buchi, we understand that the bridge is broken in irpen, so it will remain as a monument to that that is being built nearby, there will be a new monument of the cemetery of burned cars also near irpen, but it is such a point museum exhibits, we will have cities, museums, it is almost a kind of rub, is it worth rebuilding them, or maybe it really should be made as a museum
