[000:00:00;00] a young boy with a hot heart couldn't just keep silent anymore when everyone around was robbing the country, you went for freedom , stand for the freedom of your children, they are not yet born, a free and peaceful future for peace in the country, for our renaissance, to stop the invading years and the winter

like hell ok, let me go gray-haired with news, mother, come back as my heart screams. i am standing. let jesus ask me alive in the morning at home. when did we come ? when is it not angry smoke with an open heart

? i have a huggable one.

please come back alive come back alive come back alive come back alive come back alive come back alive glory to all our heroes ladies and gentlemen andriy bidnyakov good evening mr. president dear guests today on this stage a lot was said about important people for our country about important professions i would like to talk in more detail now about another one about the profession of a military doctor. i have a lot of respect for this profession. my mother was a medical worker, not a military civilian, and i was lucky enough to meet these talented people in my childhood. by people i remember the speed with which they made decisions during the war, this speed increases several times, decisions have to be made in a fraction of a second my friends and acquaintances who were able to leave mariupol said that between the almost 24-hour bombing and

shelling of the city there were very short pauses during these pauses, you could hear the silence , it was felt and what a paradox during this silence, even the birds did not sing , there were almost no birds, those people who survived in mariupol began to hunt even sparrows in order to survive after that, no one fed the pigeons in their favorite place. on the square near the drama theater, parents and children did not throw bread from the pier to the sea for the seagulls , everything alive in mariupol at that moment paused.

caress the only scrap that was then in our city , over which the ukrainian flag flew proudly. it was the azov plant , there were many civilians there, there were children , elderly people, there were a lot of wounded soldiers, and there were military medics, and we we should remember and thank them for what they did and are doing the possible and the impossible to save people's lives, i really want it, i believe in it that very soon each and every one of them will return home from captivity and be able to hug their relatives tightly because there there were very courageous people, courageous men, courageous women, and among them there was one girl. she was probably the only bird that

was singing in ukrainian mariupol at that time, and her incredible song was picked up by one thousand and eight great hours. ukraine fed on the ground from the forest to the enemies the sky in pain life is probably hard and strong unbreakable i wander because the evening is crying to no one and who is a fighter wins the world we don’t want

the weak for the joy of fighting great god brother for all faithful montages of the people will take running all the changes needed to died for us, you are above all, amen , let's play our god

, let's protect ours with you freedom of the ukrainian, i'm back under the tisza , i liked the free ukrainian, it's you or god lyatoshynsky chapel

of the national house of music, conductor bohdan cliche, ladies and gentlemen, meet dmytro komarov. good evening. i wish everyone good health. they say that information is a weapon. that's why today, during a full-scale war, the work of every journalist is very responsible and urgent. now there is simply no unimportant report, unimportant plot, unimportant article or unimportant film, because everything they create journalists on the front line, ground zero and in the rear - this is the documentation of ukrainian and world history . the war changed the profile of many journalists , including me, and i was once a journalist a traveler who traveled the world, now i have turned into a documentarian who works exclusively in ukraine and precisely because now the most important things and events in the world are happening here in ukraine during the war for all journalists the level of responsibility has increased many times because now it is important

to do not only the right report but it is important to think about the consequences and how it will be perceived from completely different sides, for example , will it harm the military, does it help the enemies, does it not divide society, and is it honest, you know what i i realized during these one and a half years, especially that when i leave, for example, i tell my wife everything is fine, don't worry, everything will be fine, i'm not telling the whole truth, because no one who goes to the front to the war to work, including journalists, including when you see a journalist with a microphone who just conducts regular news . he risks his life very much. i want to sincerely thank all journalists who stay working and do this extremely important and difficult work. thank you to all ukrainians

. the nation is very talented and the nation also has talented journalists. there are very, very many and hundreds of those who could be awarded but i am sure that today's choice of the person who was awarded is very, very correct, if not simply the best, you probably all know andrii tsaplienko is a very risky person - a real military correspondent and he started working for war even before the 14th year, unfortunately andrii risking his life in different places, he came under fire and was wounded. we are in ukraine during a business trip , and for this very reason, today he is not in this hall, he is being treated. i am very well i remember a terrible night here, when they called me and said that this client was injured and was being taken to kyiv. i waited for a very long time, we all did not know in what condition he would survive, he would not survive, what would happen to him. but luckily, we also saw a familiar face with barely a smile while walking under painkillers, he got out of the car and said everything will be fine, and then we sat together

all night in the parking lot of the hospital, uh, and just talked , using the opportunity, for sure, i want to say kind words about andrii tsaplienko, because he is a very proud person and he does not like when in his presence will say something good about him. this film is a real professional - this film is extremely humble, honest and he deserves this award, i am proud that i can call him a friend and i want to show you something else that is also directly related to saplienko and it is very interestingly, this ukrainian flag is a software talisman. the world inside out, he traveled half the world with me, visited the tops of mountains , on volcanoes, on the highest peaks and his first big trip and a big business trip he was with andrii tsaplienko, a distant 18 years

therefore, in 2005, andrei and i stood on the top of mont blanc. this is the highest point in europe - 4807 m , and you know how i hold this flag . i remember all these trips. with this flag on the peaks for which the whole of ukraine is waiting. thank you very much. thank you, glory to ukraine, and he is a rocket for a second . they are just shelling our position . well, what luck, at least now we can

run away from here quickly. journalists took up their combat positions. they began to conduct actual and most importantly honest reports from the frontline in the hot region. the occupiers do not want to give up their positions . they broadcast day and night from the sites of strikes on civilian objects and residential areas. this is approximately how each apartment looks like. a house in bakhmut, they united in a national telethon to convey true information from places and from improvised studios in warehouses, to highlight the superhuman heroic feats of our military and the inhuman crimes of war criminals

our journalists are defenders who are equipped with a microphone, a camera or a camera through the lens of which we see the main objectivity , the first after our military, they saw the liberation of kyiv oblast and kherson, the ukrainian flag over the de-occupied raisin, and the tears of the soldiers who returned from the captivity in rashit , they were the first to become the most desired target as underground warriors in the temporarily occupied territories, their actions became an example of courage, indomitability and dedication to the profession , and their names were inscribed in the history of journalism 70-year-old journalist oleksandr gunko spent almost six months in the occupation in nova kakhovka. he was detained three times by representatives of the occupying forces and held captive . on april 3, 2022, it became known about the death in the blockaded mariupol of the lithuanian

documentary director montas kader viches, who in 2016 shot the film mariupolis about the war. in donbas, in the same april, near mariupol , a 78-year-old member of the national union of journalists of ukraine , volunteer writer yevhen bald, died after torture representatives of mass media are warriors of the information front, but many ukrainian journalists send news to their newsrooms directly from the front line of the real for the military commander of the honored journalist of ukraine andrii tsaplienko, the war began much before the full-scale invasion, they often approach from the opposite side of the road , our convoys are attacked from the very beginning of the aggression in march 2014 together with a group of journalists, andriy was brutally beaten

by armed pro-russian activists after filming the assault by the russian military of the ukrainian military unit in sevastopol, and 8 years later in march 2022, during a full-scale invasion , andrii was wounded while performing an editorial task in the chernihiv region, the doctor says you are just insanely lucky that it passed through andrii tsaplienko, one of the heroes of the war and one of the soldiers of the army journalists, but at the same time he is one of a kind, and as long as people like him have no fear of doing their work in hell itself , there is no doubt about returning there again and

he has no compromises with his conscience. under a bulletproof vest with the inscription press, the heart of ukrainian journalism is beating, meet the journalist, tv presenter vadym karpyak, it's really unusual, the scene is so special, you don't worry like you do on the air, you don't worry on the air, i'm going to talk about emotions because i'm afraid in no university, no faculty of journalism teaches how to cover the war for a civilian a-a that 's what they call us who are not on the front lines, war is primarily emotions and very strong emotions , and with television, with which i work, there is a particular problem, or television is always these emotions multiplies, that is, if you start creating panic in the frame, then millions of people will feel this panic. if you create

hat-throwing moods, throw hats at enemies, then people will also behave like that, and this has always been the case for me since the first days of this great war, and not only for me, i communicate with my colleagues , how to convey this information correctly, calmly , so as not to convey the honey to the corner, not to relax, but also not to frighten, i will honestly confess to you now, uh, i did not tell you this yet, in general, he told me the right emotion the janitor of kyiv it was february 26 in the morning i was walking along the golden gate in the early morning around eight o'clock kyiv is absolutely empty it's all anxiety in the air there are no people and i'm looking the janitor is standing i don't even know now you can still say the janitor like that now it's like he's a utility worker it must be said correctly, but he , holding a cigarette in his mouth, methodically swept the empty street, absolutely empty, well, this is square , not even square street near the golden gate

, very calmly sweeping as if nothing was around is happening. i realized what it is, this calmness, this confidence and clearing one's territory is what is needed. i realized that i also have to somehow gather myself as much as possible and transmit this calmness further on the air, and here is another important moment that we must do, this moment of unity that was in the first days and he is he is starting a little, but our task is also to carry him forward and it is very important here they said about journalists from the frontline i always consider my work just a craft , journalism for me is a craft, but when it comes to military journalists those who are on the front line, i consider it art in the sense that an artist is a person who does what she cannot help but do, she simply

cannot help but do it. this emotion that was there in the first weeks, that united everyone and that has now dimmed a little due to fatigue and exhaustion, we will return it, and even more obviously it will be a return at the time of victory, then we can afford this emotion, then there will be the best, brightest reports from the subjects of the article, everything will be fine super but not all of them will be reports and stories, some of these reports and stories, unfortunately, we will not see, hear or read, because some of the journalists will not be with us, but they will remain in our memory and

no war will erase them from our memory. glory to ukraine ladies and gentlemen, zlata ognievich is in the yard, only hear. i am like a mother, the words flew, did you fly into the eyes of the cossack, do you see my son, my candle is not tallow to the age, the nut will already be burning, we have a young cossack, this viburnum grows near the poplar

, my mother's eyes are waiting for you, gray-desperate, crying everything is waiting for the son, god still has his soul. i have already gone to my destiny. he is looking for truth and the water of new generations. the new spring has come and there was no peace in the soul. the main thing is no longer here . the father is no longer here. he must have a troubled path. he must have his children,

you, his young heights. a goat for enough viburnum grows mother's eyes are waiting for you all the bridges for us everything is waiting a long time for us already his soul and wings

glory and eternal memory of the fallen journalist on the stage of the national legend of ukraine oleksandr ponomaryov good evening i do not sing today i will speak today but i am very glad that can to be on this stage today and talk about such a person, you know, i will start with his mother, diana petrynenko, when i saw her, when i was studying at the conservatory, she was a teacher, an outstanding singer, an outstanding teacher, a woman who raised such a person

composer, poet and performer taras petrynenko green taras petrynenko was born in kyiv in 1953. his father grinald petrynenko was a music journalist and his mother diana gnativna was an opera singer and folk artist, it is not surprising that the gene of love for music, and first of all for ukrainian music, was passed on to him from his parents. at the age of 16, taras was part

of the rock band eney began to light up the dance floors of the capital. rock performers petrynenko became one of the pioneers of the mustachioed funcle phenomenon of ukrainian music of the late 60s and mid-70s . it was a unique period when the ukrainian musical tradition, on the one hand, was maximally she went with world trends and, on the other hand, multiplied them with her originality, but the soviet leadership and the so-called khutsovets did not approve of the repertoire written in ukrainian, their songs were banned, and petrinenko's band was cut off from oxygen, but he was alive and created with the yellow and blue flag in his heart and with a free ukraine in his soul long before 91st
