to cry, so the fourth block collected more than a thousand works from different countries. anyone could get these posters for free by filling out an application on the project's website. for example, to hold an action in support of ukraine in any country. you can print out posters for yourself, take them to a support event, and many such events took place in european countries, exhibitions were held in america, korea, and from china, japan, well, actually from all continents. this is how the idea arose to hold a poster exhibition in kharkiv as well. i was very sorry it's a pity that this was not seen in kharkiv. we thought that it would be good if, after all , the people of kharkiv could show that there is such strong support for ukraine. we, kharkiv residents, should feel that the world is with us. when we decided to do all this, there was a kind of pause, the world was tired of war.

in kharkiv, like nowhere else, it is felt that there should be no pause, and we decided that the place of the poster on the street , of course, we placed them in sysitilaikh in kharkiv, and already in the process of working on this project, we thought that it would be very good to place them on blocked windows and doors, in the city center. usually art projects, they develop, during their implementation, the idea appeared to make such a google application form. where anyone, where windows and doors are blocked, who can place this poster in themselves, they can write us this application, we give them posters and they place them on their windows and doors. there are poles, yes, who almost felt it on themselves, and there, almost , here they are, there are chinese, to whom the information reaches, there we understand how, but they still want

to express somehow express their support, i think that the audience, he has the right to see different things, he has the right to see how designers from mexico react to it, how designers and the artistic community from china react to it, for a chinese it is at all possible this feat, even to send a poster in support of ukraine. support of the world, in particular the countries of europe. is very tangible for ukrainian artists, thanks to it they can create new projects even during the war, and therefore develop the culture of ukraine. in general, we apply for some grant programs all the time. in fact, this street action was supported by the isolation cultural fund, and they received funds from of the european union. dear friends from poland, this exhibition that we are taking to poland is

fully financed by the ministry of culture of poland. i think we've done a lot of cool things with that support. nataliya ivanova admits that she was not very concerned about the war before the full-scale invasion, did not believe that this disaster would reach kharkov, and therefore did not prepare in any way. art is always there, it exists regardless of whether there is a war or not . on february 20... 2, we opened an exhibition, oleg kalashnik's exhibition, which he planned for a year therefore, the exhibition was about soldiers, and the entire yermilov center was covered in figures of soldiers, they were in paintings, they were in paintings, they were in sculptures, because the artist conceived this exhibition as a game of soldiers, in general, it was his reflection on children's memories, probably childhood memories, yermilov center will remain in the memory of the little one. who, along with

their parents, found refuge here in the early days of the full-scale invasion. our entire artistic community gathered here, there were a lot of people and there were children, we have them there such a space, a semicircle at the end of the center, there was a sandbox with small figurines, candles, soldiers, and at the opening we will light them, he lit them when we were still mounting this exhibition, i was somehow against this sandbox, i did not like it there very much as an object, and then i told him, my god, oleg, thank you so much for this sandbox , because the children, they are in a confined space, this sandbox simply saved us, because they were playing there, they are there with these figurines and such other, that's how yermilov center has become a kind of residence for artists and their families. we didn't think about art, we,

but we were in the center of modern art, i say, it was good, when it's all over, it would be good not to clean everything up. that 's how to show people how the project is, and danya revkovskyi says: sure, nothing needs to be cleaned, that's how everything needs to be left, and it will be the best project of the yermilov center. the artists later reflected on their experience of being forced to live within the walls of the center of modern art in their own project. everyone somehow documented our life then, asked everyone to send photos, video and everyone sent. and we made such a project. which we called as you, it was such a question that started and ended our day. it is important and necessary to speak out loud and show your culture to the whole world. therefore, educational work should not be limited only to the borders of our state.

regarding the voice of kharkiv and kharkiv art abroad, a vivid example is the kharkiv school of photography. if it weren't for the full-scale invasion, then we would already be in the spring. entered the museum of the kharkiv school of photography, which was founded by serhiy lebedynskyi together with his colleagues, but now they are doing very powerful projects abroad, vlad krasnaschok did, and is still working, it is such a long project, documentation of the war, he is accused of aestheticizing the war, he wants a good composition, a good picture, so that beautiful, but it is not an aesthete. this is something that will later cause a certain emotion , it is enough for all of us now, we live in this time and we have enough documentary footage, and in 10 years it will be necessary to use this photo to evoke tears in a person who has not seen will not see this, i hope, now

it is important not only to document everything that we are going through as a nation, but to return with new strength to our origins, to rethink our own history. for as many as 300 or 300 years, russia has tried to prove to us and to everyone else that ukrainian does not exist, and that ukraine does not exist, and such a language does not exist, and now, this is the time when we all...' have to collect it and to those who doubted, to those who watched a lot of russian news or channels, just look like this, here it is, and for me, this is the mission of the theater in kharkiv, after the victory, it really should be some kind of our new renaissance, because in essence

the culture that is already happening after the 24th is a new page in the history of ukrainian history and in the history of ukrainian culture, and it is important to rethink our background . e and the classics and understand what we are doing now, what is being written now. artem vusyk, a playwright from kharkiv who spent almost a year in evacuation in lviv. there he gathered artists and artists and created an independent theater. geography included mariupol, chernihiv, odessa, and dnipro, kyiv, lviv, frankivsk, and these are artists. who ended up in lviv. i don't remember how i made this open call, but about 20 people came to this meeting and i suggested doing something together. and yes, we launched an activity that lasted, in fact, a year,

a little more, the activity of the theater was worthwhile. i invite everyone, i invite everyone, during this period we produced performances exclusively on the theme of the war, the first day of the war, how we met the 24th, when anton and i arrived at the kharkiv railway station, then we saw there was a huge crowd of people who wanted to go from there, exactly where we were going, that is , it is unknown where, we stopped somewhere from the edge, began to wait, the theater newly created by artemum usyk had a documentary style, not by chance. there was a dialogue scene with the audience and where every viewer could talk about their experience on february 24, the first day of the war, it will never cease to be the same, now a lot of our videos have appeared, which we would not

pull on ourselves never, for example, people from tro, people of the military, people, people who remained in the hut, all of them now, well, in short, but the first day of the war, it will be the same for everyone. wherever we were and whatever we were doing, he changed our lives forever. holy war, i just celebrated my birthday. we had puppet shows for children in our repertoire, because there were a lot of children in lviv, including them. i wanted to somehow find this kind of universal language of art for communication, we made a comedy children's puppet show, we also made a show about kherson, this is a super documentary show based on interview, on the news feed, and this is such a performance that developed in parallel with the events in kherson. i worked very quickly and i thought as much about the quality of the performance as about the meanings that arise there, we could not study the texts, we worked with pieces of paper, but it was important that we received this information, and tomorrow we already have to play it, and everyone called us a theater worker, this is such a reactive

theater, and it was so powerful, too, a support for people who did not understand at all, what is our culture now, what kind of theater is it, if in the invasion has been going on for a month, which theater, and this is a question that worried me too, but when we started working, when we understood our direction, then all the questions, our theaters disappeared, because it became clear what our function is, and what our values ​​and how do we do it? the varta theater existed until its founder was in lviv, but artem decided to return home to kharkiv. let's turn on, count and love. it's a return,

it's something, it's something so emotionally strong, and it's important that now neither rockets nor explosions, well, nothing can stop me, before this it is the idea and purpose to make art while it is here, chis, as simple as a corner of paradise, so immediately the light, therefore, the gate to another world, namely in the middle of the nafta theater, you see, we have not yet... had time to change after the invasion the name, before the invasion we were the oil theater, but with the ukrainian one, now we are oil

, and for the opening we have to repaint the gates , the oil theater is a community of people who are comfortable doing creativity together, who have common values, a common vision of the theater , an artist modern, this is a fairly young theater, which appeared in 2018, this is a theater that worked continuously until the full-scale invasion, and now a year and a half later, we recruited new people, agreed with the old people, with those who remained in kharkiv, that it was time for us to do a new play and to open the door for spectators. this is a theater that is recovering, looking for these ways of recovery, looking for this language, and

this gesture, the message with which we want to open up now during the ongoing war, here in kharkiv in a front-line city, three people came up with this entire composition under these walls , and for they painted for two days, they hung an ultraviolet light on our lighting... and that's why when we have performances or parties in the theater, everyone comes here and says, oh berlin, this is berlin, but i want them to say not berlin, but this is kharkiv, this is kharkiv, but of course here in kharkiv, when i returned, i realized that i will not do a play about the war here , because everyone here already understands what it is like, what kind of feeling it is when you first hear landing, and then the siren starts, there has to be another one on... what's the opposite, i have to do a comedy,

which will be a rest for the audience and will take them out of reality a little, will give them the opportunity to remember what it is like to come to a comedy, relax, come to the theater and have fun, the nafta theater is not indifferent to the heritage of ukrainian drama, one of the actors was looking for pearls lost by the soviets and the result of the search was a book. this is the philosophy of the theater, a book published by mykola naboka, an actor of our theater, and this is the first normal publication of the philosophy of the theater of les kurbas, because we taught us, taught us and continue to teach according to the russian and soviet stanislavsky system, although we have our own super powerful, voluminous, large-scale artist, but simply because he was shot, he was banned, the performances were pissed off, it was simply not leveled in education, and now i really hope, that our teachers will pay attention to

the fact that we have our own, after a year and a half break caused by a full-scale invasion , the nafta theater is preparing a completely renewed repertoire. next, we will have my monopunk performance in veselka na saltivka, which contains elements of autobiography, fantastic and realistic. my goal is to perpetuate salttivka as a district in the cultural layer and in the literary layer, because i am very inspired by the story of hryhoriy kvitka osnovyanenko, who wrote. matchmaking in goncharivka and goncharivka as a district of kharkiv, that's all, it was engraved in the history of culture. i want to record salttivka, because saltivka has its own history to the fact that this is such a bandyugan district, and i was born and raised in saltivka and spent my entire childhood there, and i have a certain sentiment for salttivka, then salttivka as the most the affected district of kharkiv, super badly

destroyed, but at the same time people are returning there and planting flowers, and there is a ruined building next to it. they are completely home and they live there and they don't want to leave because they love the area and that gives me inspiration for new material. kharkiv artists believe that nothing will prevent them from realizing their plans. indeed, i shared the plans, and it's great that there are plans , but still, you should always be ready for any development, because the flights continue, we don't understand what will happen next, but... our thirst for revitalizing, for starting culture here in kharkiv , where it is needed, where i see how many young people are walking, and i want to go, that's why, but you don't want to go to the theater, that's why that they just don't know, they don't know that there are modern plays, and our activity is set up to give back to people that feeling of a full

life, even during the war, but a full life where you can go to the... theater and see performance and this gives you the resource to continue working, volunteering, doing something, i just want to support everyone, i want to give this signal that everything is normal , everything will be fine, let's get together, laugh, and get full of this energy, for now i choose this function for the theater, where the wind blows. the shadow of the dusty underbrush, swaying golden leaves, the newest day was coming, the shadows disappeared into the blue and bloody evening that i, i am also used to this, like dim dreams to me, the sky was filled with stars,

the stars of the stars in the space, and today, as yesterday, the darkness is frowning with anger, and around my heart, a gray eagle is turcoche, heart zretyazya will break and the head will be tickled, that in the gloom, that we are sad, we are going to rebuke, we are the first geese of spring, our days are a whirlwind,

every day, every hour, every minute we receive a large amount of information. the most anticipated event of the year, what is actually happening at the front, what are the losses of personnel and equipment on the battlefield, how is our success evaluated by the international community, and what is moscow lying about, from the stream that is being rushed from everywhere, we single out the most important ones. the world is closely watching whether there will be weapons for ukraine and what kind, and what the russian occupiers are whispering about outside behind the commanders. news, summaries of the week. this is an overview of only important events , important, reliable events, it is analytics, fact-checking, expert comments, about this and much more in the issue today, about important things in simple language, available

to all viewers. greetings, iryna koval is in the studio, and these are the results of the week on the espresso tv channel. news, summaries of the week, every saturday at 21:00 on espresso. events, events happening right now. and affect our lives, of course, the news feed reports about them, but it is not enough to know what is happening, one must understand, antin borkovsky and invited experts soberly evaluate events, analyze them by modeling our future, every saturday at 1:00 p.m. with a repeat at 10 p.m., west studio with anton borkovsky at espresso. kanal espresso and ukrainian pen present their own project with myroslava barchuk. a series of conversations with ukrainian and western intellectuals who analyze and comment on the most relevant social debates. what news will be analyzed

by the guests of the project this week, and actually, who will be the guest of the studio? we will find out already this sunday. undoubtedly, the topics will be relevant, guests special proper names from myroslaya barchuk. sunday: 17:10 at espresso. at the place of shelter with a catering establishment or a store. is this normal? so. in the fund of protective structures there are rooms with a dual purpose. they can simultaneously be a shelter and be used for another purpose. but if this place is on the shelter map, you can hide there during an alarm. everyone has the right to be safe.

this is my boy here. welcome to the espresso channel. our army restrains the enemy in the east, continues the pressure on the enemy's positions in the south and expands

battlegrounds on the left bank of the dnieper, but the front line remains stable, and the fighting is extremely exhausting and requires significant resources. and for this, our partners are currently forming or should form a new strategy of supporting ukraine for the winter period and beyond. term, this applies to arms supplies, and joint defense and industrial projects, and economic and military aid programs in various directions, and this week's regular meeting in the ramshtein format was such, well, a partial response to the reflection of these needs and aspirations russia is also preparing for a long confrontation, as they say, with a collective measure. the foreign intelligence service of ukraine, according to its head, concluded that russia in its plans is focused on the global redistribution of the world and the war for the occupation of ukraine is part of the russian plan, but plans and results are actually different things, and yet from this entire

mosaic of visits, statements, announcements that were made this week, it is necessary to make such an integrated picture in order to have answers to the questions: to what to prepare for, how the approaches of our partners are changing and what it can count on... ukraine and what we should do on our own against the background of the systemic threats that the russian federation produces. we will talk about this with leading experts in the next issue of our military program. my name is serhii sgurets, i am the director of the information consulting company defense express, which, together with the espresso channel , strives to highlight the most relevant trends in the field of security. and now mykhailo samus, head of analytics, joins us of network organizations. also, the deputy director of the army, conversion and disarmament research center, mr. mykhailo, i welcome you to the spresso channel, i am glad to see and hear you, i congratulate you, mr. serhiy, there have been

many events this week, we will get to them, but i would like it so or otherwise, it turns out that a certain point for statements and assessments is the situation on the front line, some time ago you said that certain successful actions of the armed forces are needed to have such a positive impact on our partners, can we say that the situation on the front line in certain directions, in particular on the left bank of the dnieper or in terms of control over certain areas of the black sea, are those positive signals that can be correctly interpreted for our partners in order to understand the dynamics of changes taking place on the front line. well, actually, i even noticed that in the statements and reports of the leaders of the european union, representatives of individual countries, it is called, for example,

the black sea direction, the left bank of the kherson region, as evidence that the ukrainian the counteroffensive, as many believe, has not stopped, the ukrainian armed forces and defense forces continue their active operations , and again this means that the situation at the front has not turned into some kind of stalemate and positional war, not always and not on the whole, not on all areas of the front can characterize... the current situation , so i think that indeed, the development of events that we are currently seeing in the livberezh region of the kherson region, although of course it is necessary to understand that this is very hard work, this is a very difficult task because dnipro, to carry out such operations, in winter, well, that is, it is actually on the border of fantasy, what the ukrainian military is doing now, and why they are

succeeding, because even... if you look at the reports of the so-called russian warlords, propagandists, in reality the situation there for the russian troops is not is easy, and they have not yet found the method, the solution, let's say, that could ensure they neutralize the threat on the left bank of the kherson region, and the left bank of the kherson region can be the key to successful development events in 2024, we have already talked about the fact that the main task for russia in 2024 will be to stabilize the front, to transfer it to a positional format in the south and, at the same time , to achieve success in donbas, that is, to occupy the donetsk-luhansk region as much as possible, in order to enter the in the 25th year, when trump comes, it is possible to have such arguments on the table at the negotiations,

completely opposite from the ukrainian side of ukraine. interests is to achieve success in the south and prevent the breakthrough of the front in donbas, so really uh, that the front will freeze, i think that the front is just starting its, its new warm-up, let's say so, and we will see that there are a lot of active steps, on both sides, i think, mr. mykhailo, when we talk about the front, we understand that one way or another, it is related to how our partners perceive. to our actions, and against this background, of course, they have to somehow adjust their strategy , form some, first of all, long-term approaches, this week there were two visits by the minister of defense of the united states, the minister of defense of germany, he visited kyiv, then there was an online ramstein meeting, and what are your assessments, uh, are there any trends that were optimistic and things that were worrisome, so what would you

conclude from the review. for these visits and for these large-scale events? well, germany continues to please, that is, the minister of defense of germany, who arrived in ukraine, he really showed interest in the implementation of further projects with ukraine, and such long-term ones, because his statements, for example, about the four irist systems, obviously have after all, we do not mean the immediate delivery of these systems, we know that they are actually manufactured from wheels and sent to ukraine, because they were not in stock and are not, these are all new systems, and obviously, these are statements about actual assistance in the first half of 24 year, as well as the statements about the ammunition project, the same million ammunition from the european union, and germany is of course one of the main players in this project, and it is obvious that the minister of defense of germany with his visit, personally, he demonstrated'
