terrible, our weapon is the truth. congratulations, the intera information service joins the marathon on the front line of the information front, our people are invincible, we win, united news together, fun, united news in the center of events , congratulations, friends, this face is dmytro chistyakov and my guest. today, one of the youngest volunteers of ukraine, diana shevchuk, diana shevchuk is alone she is one of the youngest volunteers in ukraine, she is only 16, but she is already a philanthropist with experience, because she started helping others at the age of 10. in 2017

, she helped her father for the first time. a former military serviceman then served in the east, there the girl got to know local children and decided to help them. now diana sends cars and ammunition to the soldiers on the front line. her mother and father serve in the army . now diana is a driver and a loader and an adviser and a guard. the girl has to study late at night because she is older. she devotes part of the day to volunteering, as does her entire family. we saw footage in the business card where you talk to your mother like that on the laptop, and how long have you been talking like that, haven't seen her in a long time ah, she left about 1.5 months ago , but we came to her with humanitarian aid about two weeks ago, we saw her very recently, but although we communicate every day via video link, it is still not the same as seeing a person hug her like you do

they let go, your mother is now fighting on the front line, despite the fact that she has three children and she went to the army to fight, how is it, why did she make such a decision for each of us to make the maximum effort so that we could fight in any country and in fact now the situation is such that in ukraine there is no no generation no matter what the war has been through, and we really want this generation to eventually appear and that's why we didn't hold it back, we didn't condemn it, we were all only in favor of course it's dangerous and we don't know how it all can turn out there, but we know for we know what we are doing. why do we need to travel, why do we need it, and that's why without any hesitation. we are sad but let go . we went

to see my mother and brought a humanitarian worker. to we supported the lviv and kharkiv brigades, and we talked to a lot of people from the military regarding the invasion, we helped the military uhu, by the way, in march, you were recently in donbas and went to drive a car, as far as i know correctly, and i know that it was very quickly collected funds on him it was actually for me unexpectedly it turned out so quickly to collect because in fact a year after the full-scale invasion it is people still tired it is natural it is every day you see these news and besides that got tired of this. if you didn't want to admit it, people get used to what is happening, and that's why it's getting harder and harder to hold meetings, big meetings, but not indifferent people responded and managed to raise

funds very quickly, because in reality the situation was it was necessary to do it as soon as possible that's 130 thousand in a week and a half, that's right, very quickly, you say that it's difficult to hold large meetings now. and how do you motivate people, but you still manage to collect, in fact , you just need to, uh, you need to give people what they want to see. that is, you need to show the situation, uh, what more information is possible, it is clear that there are things that cannot be told , cannot be shown, but you need to be frank and sincere, and that's how hm. what did you go to? well, first of all, you saw the conditions there

. the soldiers, you communicate with them, what they tell you. children, when they saw their own children , some had tears of emotion, because someone probably remembered their children, whom they had not seen for more than a year, someone simply saw some other faces, and it was such a very emotional meeting, and ending it was incredibly difficult for us and military well, i didn't want to go and simply. it was such a situation that the sky was clear, there was no wind. and since i spend a lot of time working on projects for drones, on drones, i understood that this was ideal weather for drones, and that's why it is dangerous to stay for a long time. well, what do the military ask for, so you are coming, so what kind of humanitarian

are they asking for? what is needed most of all now are drones, which are also called birds of life, cars and even for small things. because in fact, it is like what they were in the first days of the war, when everything and no one was needed i didn’t know what to do and i just carried everything and everything was found, everything was needed, now we have more a-ah now it’s basic needs have been closed and more that we need now it’s drones they are now if whatever their cost is - it’s a consumable and a drone can live three days if it's if he's still lucky then drones cars are the most important right now and you were not only in donbas and there is a photo in particular near the stables when you enter kupyansk and you already went to the de-occupied city yes we

went it was a few months ago we we went there after the de-occupation of the kharkiv region, we were in the villages of the cossack lopan district and were in the kupyan district . these are the prices meetings it was these emotions of the children that they saw that they were supported and supported by the same children as them, and that is why we spent a lot of time with those children. there is even a video. i saw it there on nicholas day. yes, you went to see the children.

with the children. we saw each other in the kharkiv region, but this is the cossack lopan region , and my godson. he serves in the brigade, which at that time was stationed in the kupyansk region. you mentioned the children and in general your work volunteering started with working with children right when you were helping the children of donbas that's how it was when you started volunteering and it all started somewhere in the 16th year we went to my father's for the first time in the ato zone at that time we went just to visit because for a long time father was on rotation and we missed him and we tried to choose such a situation that it was more or less safe to come to visit him and when we were there for a few days or a few weeks of course at father's there is work. and at this time, while he is working somewhere, we had something to do and we talked with the children of the luhansk region and how it

was at first . we were afraid. one thing, but in fact they are the same children as us and they have the same hobbies. they also have the same hobbies. they tried very hard to speak ukrainian, and by the way, they were not afraid. well, then there was such a stereotype that it was rude saying the westerners came to them, he said so, it was actually also like that a-a it was a trip where we tried to prove that in the west of ukraine we are the same as them and that what they were told by russian propaganda at that time that it was all untrue absolutely and they were really scared at first. as everyone knows these myths about the people of bandera and so on

. and there the first meeting was so little. they understood each other very well, but we started to communicate and the same games of football and volleyball there and became friends and then it was very difficult to leave, but we still came to them several times we communicated by correspondence, we made video calls between the schools of lviv and the schools of the children of the luhansk region, and this actually also gave a lot, because we show how it is, that the east and the west are inseparable together, not as russian propaganda shouts about it, that is, to you managed to defeat the propaganda in such a way as to prove to the children that nothing terrible is true and there was also the fact that we invited children from donbass to lviv twice for excursions. it was like a week there or

10 days of rest and it was hard for the body it is difficult. it is very difficult to come to an agreement with their parents who listen to russian radio, who thought everything would be a disaster, but the children came with an incredible amount of emotions of joy, and that is why it was also a very important step taken by tatiana . well, judging by your words, you already understood what russia is and what it brings. why, after all, the majority of ukrainians understood this only a year ago, now, in my opinion, now almost every second ukrainian, er, someone from relatives, friends . the level of communication is military . everyone before the invasion was in the military, as my father was in the military, so i knew very well what was happening , where it was happening. i was still young, so it is logical that my father did not tell me what was really

happening there, but i already had an idea about it even at the time when there i made the same trips to the east when they didn't organize any communication , when i had in my head to draw pictures for children, collect some toys , my peers didn't see it and they didn't see it, and maybe it was easier for them that way moment because actually facing the war it's scary and back then the war probably just didn't affect so many people as it happened now a lot of people uh, it's clear that it's important that i speak ukrainian, it's a pity of course it happened quite late because in my opinion russia was preparing for of this war since 1991 and with the same propaganda right there with postcards, i don't know the radio and we mentioned it, we learned

well that you remembered the events now in the 16th year, when the volunteers started, it was 7 years ago, that is, you seven years ago you are engaged even though you are 16 now and in principle go wherever you go, every adult dares you, your parents do not say anything when you are going to go to the front line again, of course it is difficult, they are worried, but my father is a soldier and my mother is a soldier and they wouldn't let us into a very dangerous zone, we choose such conditionally safe routes anyway, we try to reduce the amount of danger as much as possible, but how come some people ask about fear, where did it happen, what about me and how, uh, not all adults can go. and i i'm going but it was so that the first thing in my head, if the first picture in my

head is related to the war, it was when in the 16th year, most likely or in the 17th, we were going to one of the villages outside mariupol and were driving a car on the road and on the sides were mini-fields and standing - and the sappers would go and clear mines there was equipment, and then it surprised me very much after i live in lviv, after that in lviv, we go to parks there, we go to the movies and to see mini-fields, i could not realize that it's like that until the end, but you get used to everything, well, that's the human body you also get used to danger, just at some point you start to ignore it, but when you manage to overcome fear , it's called freedom, you can afford it too. and it sounds strange, but that's what war gives you. i guess on trips, you can overcome

fear, dad helps. yes, he's something. he tells me from his past, from experience, er, he is now your chief assistant, correctly. well, as far as i understood the plots of your interviews, in fact , my father helps a lot because, er, there are some things that i simply cannot do a priori myself and well, my father helps here and there are also many caring volunteers who are ready to help. if, for example, i receive a request for some kind of humanitarian aid, i don’t have it or there is no way to find it, i don’t care . i send volunteers to groups and we all start together as a whole community to look for these or other things, and this is called the unity of ukrainians, when they are ready to come to the rescue at any second, communicate with many volunteers. and yet, i can't help but ask

. how do they treat you? they know your age if there are already elderly people working in this field and so on , in fact it is quite a command situation because at the beginning of the war, of course, i did not have any knowledge. which now all knowledge comes with experience with the same mistakes that i make. it's just that sometimes the cost of this mistake is very dear, and that's why you try to avoid them, but when i talk to some people there, in most cases, the first conversation is on the phone, and they can't know how old i am in a phone conversation, and then , for example, they ask me how to in what order should the documents be made, where should they be sent, how to deal with the border, how to deal with the declarations, i lay it all out clearly and they are like this, stas, thank you very much, when it comes to a face-to-face meeting, it shocks people. well, you can say that because they have no

idea how it is possible at the age of 16, to have such an amount of knowledge in this field, because it is actually me , frankly speaking, and i myself do not know how i manage to know and understand all this. but every day i will receive some requests or some proposals for humanitarian aid and logically i don't know how it's done, i can't know everything, it's just that i start digging on the internet to find those laws, find some regulations, and from all this i get the knowledge that i need to complete the task, it's cool. thank you. we understood that this is how the war began for you in year 14 but how did you meet the full scale invasion what was it on that day uh what did you realize then really my father knew for my father knew that a few days before it started what was going to happen and

he uh he took us to safe place me with my brother and sister and even safer than lviv then . everyone was very afraid, no one, well, there was a lot of information, you understand which of them is true, a little further from lviv in such a quiet place, and then i remember on february 24 , my father called me and said, i gave you your number i will call you on the phone. i took it for an ordinary conversation. well, someone will call and say well, but no , they will say that you will understand. i thought well . and then completely different people began to call me, military top management, people who were fleeing from shelling, because everything was real. i remember those days as the most productive. and this is the fact that in a few days i reached such

a level of knowledge and how much time i had in those moments, because it was also people who were driving since then. children, because who doesn’t have a car and they cry on the phone and tell us that we have nowhere to go, well, at that time there was still the word volunteer before the age of 22, people knew what it was, but it was more about how to feed the homeless animals there there were no toys to bring, just as people are now they just called and it was not even necessary, they needed to talk even more than there. they expected me to get help here, but at the time of february 24, we already had a hotel booked in transcarpathia, which was uh for these people who fled and there actually

it was very difficult to book it because we had no money and when there was no invasion, people there did not understand why she was investing in renting a hotel now, well, it was something uh something incomprehensible and then these first days when people called women there some even just called for their children, whom they took to some safer place , then we sent everyone to this hotel and we were able to accommodate 50 people there . a lot has been done for this, and at the same time they were calling simply with requests. no one knew how old i am, who i am, then you said there is a volunteer who can help , so we are calling and there were requests for

super e-e special vehicles, requests for weapons and in that at the same time, there were requests for food for dogs, cats, and i tried to understand everything. although at that time i had absolutely no knowledge of the laws on humanitarian aid or knowledge of the logistics of humanitarian aid, and it’s just a trip, i’m telling you, i’ll call you back in 5 minutes in these 5 minutes i start interrupting the internet to look for how it is done what does this mean and in this way i managed to do a lot and later already there in a few months i was already able to operate with the same trucks that came here for humanitarian aid i already with could easily to do the documents there then the problem was only one thing that i am a minor and there the same acts need to be signed by someone as the president of the fund my mother is there but she is in the military service at the age of 17 and from that moment she is serving until now

and that is why i went to see her to work because all military personnel worked double duty. i went to work with her simply with a bundle of documents, she signed the beginning, i went back and then on these humanitarian issues, you say that the orders were for special factories and had to be refused. are you somehow they invented how to do it. in fact, they had never been. if i said it wouldn't work with us, i tried to do everything in my power. if it's not in my power, i tried to find people to teach them what i could do. i managed to do it, and there were various special cars. of course, it was not possible to import such equipment, something was not possible, something did not work out, and i just tried to find people who could do it because there is a request, there is a need, and we

are obliged to fulfill it. i remember so clearly. it was six mercedes trucks because at the beginning of the invasion there were even bigger orders and it's harder to say frankly. in the first months, it was something at such a pace that i don't even remember, now i can't remember how i entered and or another truck. i just remember that she came in and these six trucks, it was a special order and we had to think about how we would organize the drivers, they were from switzerland, they needed to get there, organize the full price of gasoline , organize delivery to ukraine to organize the transfer to the military there of the same technical inspection and it was very difficult and i wouldn’t have coped with it myself, but there are people who constantly help and someone agreed

to do those services almost for free , someone helped there to find those forms to fill in for humanitarian aid and thus in our everything went well, class. well, you go not only to the de-occupied cities, well, only to the front line, you just go to other cities of ukraine for some meetings, that's right, in particular, today you came to kyiv for one day, uh, not only to our studio, what kind of important things are these in fact, you can't talk about everything until it's done. but now we have two or three main projects on which i'm trying to put all my efforts . you need to think now, after the victory, it won't be too late, but you need to think about it now

, when you look at the military, you see this look and you want to help as much as possible, and that 's why we can do one of the tasks that we can do now, it's rehabilitation centers, and it will also be needed for tens of years, which will be needed for a very, very long time, both for civilians and for the military, and that is why i am putting a lot of effort into promotion in some way. i am sending this letter to the donors for the rehabilitation center for the construction of this center so that it has already succeeded faster, in addition to this, we have a project for the production of unmanned aerial vehicles, ours is ukrainian, because, well, it is enough to buy abroad to make our own, and therefore it will increase and strengthen the economy

of the country, and at the same time, well, we support our entrepreneurs and the military as well and that's why i have several projects it's all well written with presentations with estimates how it should look because someone from your team helps the project i'm writing you can say i 'm putting it all together because of course i can't know the details of drones or there are some specific questions, there are specific sections in the business plan itself to write, i turn to the specialists who do it, they explain it to me, then i already write it as they are a valuable business plan, and if you draw such a parallel that drones are, as i said on birds of the beginning of life, because it is important to save lives, to save the lives of those guys who are now on the front lines, because this is our future, this is
