moment with the awarding of the ribbon 20 days in mariupol. disney explained that in his corresponding statement he explained that this is such an abbreviated version, well, excuse me, we will spend two or three weeks figuring out which categories we will keep in the abbreviated version, which ones we will not. well , we decided in advance among ourselves that no matter who won there, we would cut out the best documentary feature film category. there was also a statement later. of our national council for television and radio broadcasting, she was diplomatic enough, they said that we, with all due respect, mentioned that disney withdrew from the russian market, along with six other companies, major film studios , they immediately withdrew after the start of a full-scale invasion of the russian market, unlike many european companies that continue to make money there and sell their tapes there, but they all said that we are very grateful to you for this...

support, but they said, well, how could such an important, such an important moment be cut out, when the journalists who covered all these russian atrocities, you don't show them, but well, these things that we call things, which i don't always like when we call them, here is this, here is this scandal, here are these demands on disney, well, we are all like that, i think that all those who wrote official statements, those who went to social networks traditionally to make some bows there, they still succeeded, and then the disney studio said that, okay, we are returning your 20 days in mariupol in this abbreviated version, look, and it is extraordinary, i think it is cool, we always have to to act, but i will say two words, why from my point of view, at least that's how it turned out, because people are already starting to write that it's some russian money, and that it's some plot of satan, that it's some incredible money, the russians paid for...

to cut this , and this moment, i think not, everything is explained much more simply, as you understand, on television, on any important ratings, and here the organizers were obviously guided by what they considered the most interesting moments of this ceremony, and obviously they considered , who decided that this is exactly the category, it will not be like that interesting to their viewers, and i can say that for some reason i have doubts that they ... decided so far in advance which category to cut and which not, because this year i commented on this ceremony and saw that a lot of certain moments are made in at the last moment, that is, they do a lot of important things , they somehow do not plan very much in advance, and therefore it seems to me that they just thought it necessary last year to leave the moment with the awarding of the film navalny in a shortened version, because they thought that it was simple

a bright moment , and this tape is more interesting to the audience than 20 days in mariupol, because , well, interest in ukraine has decreased a little bit, all this is not happening so vividly, maybe if it was 2022, then ok, but now somehow, and that’s why i i think that, taking into account all this, we must understand that our cultural diplomats, people who deal with art and our cultural policy, foreign policy, in particular, must understand that we still have to work on this in a comprehensive way and somehow somehow solve this problem, this the problem is solved, of course, by the fact that we develop some strategies, and not something that someone does individually. well, here is one more betrayal for you that happened in france, we are already moving on to another topic, which is also, in principle, sufficiently related to what i described above. in france, the russians organized

a festival of russian films named after navalny, this is the tenth time they have organized such a festival, we see his poster, but still the colors of the russian flag, and i ask you to pay attention to the names of the films they showed and wanted to show it and showed it at this festival, and they have the following tapes, it's shadows of forgotten ancestors, a very russian tape, i emphasize, it's a festival. this year's russian tapes are dedicated to navalny. also, well, actually, now we can look at the site of this event itself, here we see that there is a description of tiny, there is a description of peradzhanov, well , the film itself is there, you know, first of all, there is a russian transliteration, that is, sergey paradzhanov, and so on. yuriy lenko, who was the cameraman on this film, he does not mention that he is... a ukrainian, the description also does not include

the fact that the readers are told that the actions take place in ukraine, there simply in the carpathians, but where are the carpathians? it is not clear in which country and also the director there, you also know so-and-so, he is soviet, georgian , soviet, and of course we were reminded of our embassy, ​​in particular, that paradzhanov himself, considering the way he spoke about russia and the soviet union, and that he only brought him evil, probably that he was not too delighted with the fact that his film shadows of forgotten ancestors... at the navalny russian film festival, the film otar and iosilyani was also shown there, it’s actually a georgian-french director, right now we’re seeing excerpts from shadows, i’ll remind you, but

the georgian-french film director otar and osilyani, he also showed his film on this festival of russian films, well, we also see that there... they announced a retrospective of larisa shepitko, she is a director, screenwriter, she was born in bakhmut, and then studied in lviv, and this is larisa shepitko, she is such an example of exactly how the empire absorbs talents from its, well , occupied territories, because shepitko moved to russia, in fact, she started shooting russian tapes, well, like serhiy bondarchuk, for example, so he is ukraine. he also filmed about shevchenko and played shevchenko, but it seems that in general he also filmed russian films and his tv series war and peace received an oscar, but russians can also position him in the world as russian, well, that is, it is such a classic cultural spice, and it must be said that

our embassy, ​​as well as the ukrainian embassy, ​​made a statement institute, the french branch itself, i will say that the ukrainian institute is, it, it is an institution that belongs to the structure. the ministry of foreign affairs deals with cultural diplomacy. let's listen to what ivan ryabchiy wrote to us in the comments. vinoch currently heads the ukrainian institute in france. it is already shameful what the organizers write about pereddzhanov, an armenian born in georgia, who studied in moscow to later revive ukrainian cinema. i don't know who could have thought of such a definition. after all , he himself said, the only thing she did for him russia, it went to prison. all names and surnames of the creators of the film are transliterated from russian. actually, we say this in the letter that we sent to the organizers. such festivals are a deliberate, absolutely shameful appropriation

of ukrainian culture in favor of russian culture. ah, i will say that i will remind you, friends, i think you well remember that now in... in the world, ukrainians who are engaged in visual art, they continue to fight for artists like aivazovsky , like rypin, like kuindzhi still in were recognized as ukrainian in the world, or rather even our cultural diplomats insist that everything be fair, and there, if paradzhanov, then he really needs to be positioned there as an armenian who was born in georgia, and here is one of his most outstanding films, he.. . filmed in ukraine, likewise aivazovsky, yes, he is ukrainian, a ukrainian artist of armenian origin, for example, it is correct to do this, but not so that it is like russians, that everything means russian,

aybazovsky is russian, and kuindzhi is russian, shepitko is russian and all something else, by the way, can already be said about annilorak, thank god that she can definitely be called a russian singer, because... as far as i know, there are rumors that she is going to take russian citizenship, but i think in this case we you and i will somehow not be offended by the fact that they will no longer be called a ukrainian singer, a ukrainian citizen, by the way, to be honest, if you look at the list of all these artists who moved to russia, ukrainian artists who moved to russia started to do something there, to be honest, even here on the contrary, there is a little anger that they still have ukrainians. athletes, they can really position themselves abroad as citizens of ukraine. well, about, in particular, about such people who, well, a little bit with a dubious, dubious and dubious background and dubious actions now, i will mention the singer maruv, she is maruv,

remember, and this is the one who once won the qualifying rounds of the eurovision song contest , was supposed to go to the eurovision song contest, but there they started asking her whose crimea it is, and so on. and now they realized that it is definitely not necessary to let her abroad to participate in this festival, in this competition, because who knows what she might say in an interview, that's why she didn't go then, well, and then she's in... that's how she somehow tries to sit on two chairs and now such well-known investigators called molfar have the site was made into a big investigation about maruv under the title maruv's music will bring peace in quotation marks to russia and rockets to ukraine. how does the singer continue to earn in the russian federation? it is about, in particular, that maruff, as molfar proves, they... she continues to earn on the russian market and continues to pay taxes there, because in

the investigation says that she did not terminate her contract with, for example, warner music russia, that's a record company, well, we can look at the graphics right now, this very article, this malfara, so that you can see it, and also here they claim that she continues to publish his tracks until now on the jandex news platform. well, accordingly , she earns money on this platform, let's listen to an excerpt from this material, where the investigators specify exactly how much maruv can earn on his don't leave these big russian playgrounds. let's try to calculate how much maruv could earn from listening to yandex music, it is known that the minimum amount for one listening from one subscriber... taking into account the average cost of listening is 3.7 kopecks.

if we consider that one subscriber listened to her composition at least once, then in 2022 maruf could earn 337 thousand rubles, because she had more than 9 million subscribers, then, as in 2023, this amount could increase to 466 rubles and the amount subscribers to jandex music increased to more than 12 million. well, this is a wonderful story, in general, maruv, she stayed in ukraine, she gave birth to her child already after the full-scale invasion, but now it seems that she is together with her husband, who is also ukrainian, this is her director, they are in dubai , well, somehow they try , you know, here and there, but we already see on the examples of many musicians, or performers, or artists that it is not possible to do that, you need to choose some... some one position, we see this on an example svetlana labada, in which

by the way, there are supporters in ukraine, they are left , but there are not so many of them, you see, there is no way she can return, but she really wants to, she cannot return, because she wants to keep her russian fans as well, because they have them objectively, she has more, and obviously she is interested in her russian fans, but she has to be attracted to ukraine now, because then... well, it's still easier to perform abroad, and the ukrainian market too is appreciated enough, but you see that she is here, as she is not spins, they are not accepted, also vera brezhnev is unclear, as if she wants to return, but somehow she is also not very accepted, she is cut out, there she came to perform at one event, at one concert, but already in the television broadcast she was cut out from sin, well, and maruf , you see, and it seems that she wants to make money in russia, but of course she does not want to invade russia. and if in ukraine here, and therefore, if we remember

even anna lorak, who was with her position, then what happened happened, ah, she still returned for a while so, a year or six months ago, she moved , she returned to russia already for good, she lived outside this country, she began to perform, to be a coach there at some of their singing shows for underprivileged children, and in the end she also had to... . for a long time to prove to everyone there that she is not a traitor either, because she was also called a traitor in russia, they say she could not clearly express what kind of war it was, what happened , what happened, you can say that you are over there for russia and everything else, well, you see, anni lorak finally chose her side, in general, if we talk about all these stars, it seems to me that someone like taisiya povaliy acts the best, the most honestly, she never hid that she is more inclined towards... russia, she immediately came to russia a long time ago with her husband, and now she works for this

regime, everything is completely clear with her , you see, here a person has chosen a certain position and will endure it, well done, but i still - i don’t remember whether she still has a ukrainian passport, or she has already taken a russian one, well and let's move on to victory, our victory lies in so far without betrayal, and i hope that it will be like that, but... the fact is that andrii korkov's book has again entered the international, the long list of the international bukorov prize, well, that's the name of his book. in ukrainian, it is called samson and nadiya, but it is evaluated on the booker, it is the international booker that english translations are in english, it is called the silver bone, you can see its cover, you can buy this book in online format, if you want, on the internet, translated by boris dralyuk , this is actually what

is described on the website of the award, i quote, permeated the firm with humor and magical realism, kurkov and samson and hope create an exciting story that comes to life thanks to rich historical details. let me remind you, my god, this book tells about the year 2019, exactly that moment in the national liberation struggle, when the bolsheviks did come to kyiv and began to control it, and it tells about the exit of two russians. propaganda tv series, one is called 10 days to spring, and the other is called take her through the maidan, i think if you are familiar with the works of vitaly korotych, then you remember him of the famous poem: take me across the maidan, and these two tv series, judging by the trailers, they are absolutely terribly shot,

they were created with the support of this company internet development institute, it is called in them, it is the same company... sponsored the notorious word kid, but unlike the word kid, these series are horribly filmed, and it's great for us, here, and it's such a big organization of theirs, which directly finances various propaganda content. why me at all, well, this is absolutely standard propaganda a series about such funny and very evil maidan residents, ukrainian nazis, who beat such a decent, intelligent golden eagle. well, everything is absolutely what we have seen since 2000 , i don't know, 15th year, although in 2000, even 14th year, they already started to produce such poorly shot products. shall i tell you what it is for? it's like we shouldn't care what they put out, and we do. the only thing we need to take from all these serials of theirs is that we should not

repeat them, not us, or rather, our cinematographers, because many really our... and the people who make movies, and who make which series, start talking and, moreover, start making exactly the same content of approximately the same quality, only about ukraine, and it turns out, you know, so funny, once upon a time, the tv series was shot in ukrainian, as if with such a cheery, even patriotic note, but it was made entirely according to russian models and even repeats certain phrases very often, certain moments, because here they depict... caricature participants of the revolution of dignity, our directors, authors depict the same cartoonish ones russian military. it seems to me that you cannot devalue the enemy in our circumstances, you need to portray everything as seriously as possible, even if it is about some light serial content. and that's why, it seems to me, we need to bet on

quality, because we don't have a lot of money to throw around like that, how can they do it... russians, when they can afford it, when quantity turns into quality , they filmed some 10 bad series there and one turned out to be normal, we have such an opportunity unfortunately, we do not have it, and therefore any content , especially that which is financed by the state and serial content, in particular, it should preferably be of high quality and not propaganda, well , in the end, everything can be seen from the last years, from the years of full-scale invasion, which of course, as the filmmakers said at the very beginning, you have to bet. first of all on documentaries, because there is a much, much higher probability that documentaries in particular, they will come out now of much higher quality than feature films, because for a feature film you still need to rethink something, it will all be filmed, it will be done much longer, and documentary is a fixation, and it is emotions at once, and that is why we see that even

at the oscars and at various other world film festivals, successes and... and various awards are received ukrainian films are documentaries about the current war, so i think that we still need to listen to those filmmakers who vote for quality, against propaganda, simply because it is more effective, especially when we talk about foreigners and their influence. well, that's it i finish, i remind you once again that 20 days in mariupol is already in the third, on the third round , the ukrainian box office came in... definitely watch this film, even if you are afraid that there will be something very unacceptable for you, think about it for now, because indeed, the film is difficult, but... by the end of it, you will still see some hope, well, that's what i say goodbye to you, until next saturday,

informational marathon with mykola veresny, saturday 17:10, sunday 18: 15, glory to ukraine! dear tv viewers, the studio zahid program is on the air of the tv channel. we will analyze the most important events of this week, in particular , we will talk about the international security component. our guests are retired british army colonel glen grant and former head of president yushchenko's secretariat oleg rybachuk. glen grant, a retired colonel of the british army, a military expert, will be on our air now. glory to ukraine, mr. colonel, god save the king. glory, god save the king. oh well! the situation is extremely difficult, so some military experts talk about a possible attempt to break through the front line, we understand that our armed forces forces are doing everything possible and impossible, but

the issue of the so-called strategic reserves that russia is trying to attract. if we talk now about the level of dangers on the front line, how do you assess them? at the moment, it is premature to say that there may be a breakthrough. we know that the artillery munitions being procured by... the czech republic are due to arrive soon, which could significantly change the artillery battle and potentially shift the front line again , provided ukraine has enough munitions to use them effectively. however, the effective use and mobilization of strategic reserves remains a difficult task due to the lack of clarity regarding the number and actions of russian troops. without intelligence data on the training and movement of russian troops, it is difficult to predict where and by what means a breakthrough may occur. we need to wait and... see what their strategic goals are, although russia's goal is obvious - to break through. we lack information on where they may attempt to do so and whether they have

the capacity to do so, given the heavy losses they have suffered in recent months, especially around avdiivka. it is likely that they feel strained in certain areas due to these losses. we understand that war is not only about heroism, it is also about resources. well , accordingly, i would like to ask you what you see. the pace of supply is the most important thing for us, in particular, we are now talking about artillery ammunition. to be honest, i'm not very familiar with the details of the tactical level. at the strategic level, we are aware that the expected financial support from america has not yet materialized. however, american politicians who support ukraine are becoming increasingly persistent and adept at using political and procedural tools in congress. this gives reason to assume what might happen. in particular the issue of american support. on the european front, the czech republic receives ammunition from countries outside europe, such as south africa and south korea, although this ammunition

is already on its way, its delivery cannot be immediate due to the logistical problems associated with moving heavy ammunition, as sea transport is usually used , as the possibilities of air travel are limited. except moreover, there are delays in the production of the million shells promised by europe, which lead to a slower. than expected delivery to ukraine, however, i believe there will be a critical moment when ukraine begins to receive more ammunition, potentially putting it in a more advantageous position compared to russia. in your opinion , what is the essence of the american game now, and will they dare, and maybe the administration of president biden would be ready to use some other mechanisms, well , like lend-lease, and this is one side of the problem, for... the extent to which great britain will be willing to shoulder certain burdens which the united states may refuse to bear is a matter of life and death

really. oh, can you ask 10 questions, i will try to answer them one by one and start with situations in america. it appears that there is still uncertainty in the white house about how to effectively confront russia without provoking a nuclear response. this concern about nuclear weapons is an important factor shaping the approach. usa, regarding congress, we know what is happening there, the political landscape in congress reflects the effects of russia's influence over the past two decades. and trump is the answer to that. trump is so strong in the republican party that it seems many of his supporters simply won't do anything against him unless he makes up his own mind. so we have two big problems. now the white house retains the ability to introduce further sanctions. he can do it. just last time you... they discovered an additional 300 million that was saved in other contracts, but i i do not foresee that the us will in any way deviate from its current actions, it is quite likely that

they will ... continue to do everything, too, trying to get additional funding and resources. it is unlikely that they will deploy their troops in ukraine unless putin directly attacks nato. that seems obvious to me. regarding europe, macron is trying to position himself as a leading leader. he puts a lot of pressure on others to support ukraine, which is a positive thing, because, well, someone should have taken such measures a long time ago. olaf scholz has a trend loud talk, but without much consequence, while macron's actions have not always matched his rhetoric in the past either, so it remains to be seen whether his recent statements translate into concrete actions. as for britain, despite its lack of military resources, it still possesses significant financial capabilities. foreign secretary cameron recently visited germany to negotiate the purchase of long-range missiles. we see that britain

remains active and seeks to play back. leading role in current efforts, but the future remains uncertain. despite a lot of talk, there have been no significant positive actions that would affect the front line except for the purchase of ammunition by the czech republic, so we are currently in a period of uncertainty. well, mr. colonel, do you personally believe that , for example, president macron can sign this or that decree, maybe not only president macron, maybe also ... or other european leaders, maybe great britain will agree, yes, when we we are seriously talking about a foreign contingent that would help our military, yes, on the territory of ukraine. i mean, in war, there's always the possibility that anything can happen. therefore, there is a possibility of deployment of foreign troops on the territory of ukraine, especially when it comes to military training of ukrainian fighters. the armed forces

of ukraine are in dire need of training support. soldiers inside the country, every time they have to deploy troops elsewhere, they lose precious time for transportation and organization time that is crucial now. so, yes , partner troops can potentially come to ukraine, there is also a significant need for european staff officers to help the general staff in planning and organization, especially european ones, because i believe that their culture and concepts are closer to ukrainian than to the example american europeans probably better... understand the activities of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. however, in the long term, it is difficult to foresee the possibility of introducing troops into ukraine. of in the short term, we will have to wait and see what france does. whether their actions will be just talk or actual implementation remains to be determined. i understand that you are not a professional diplomat, but in any case the prospects of general zaluzhny as ambassador to britain, as

he will be heard, is a key story in british cabinets, and perhaps whether he would succeed in convincing the british government of those or other additional steps required by us. the role of general zaluzhnyi is the role of an ambassador, and not the famous defense attaché. it is important that people understand that the role of an ambassador is much more complex. in britain, this complexity is further compounded by a decentralized government structure, where decision-making is dispersed between different centers of power. unlike ukraine, where the president takes most of the responsibility, britain works differently, requiring general zaluzhny to interact with many stakeholders to understand how the country functions, as even the decision-making process decentralized is much wider in britain than in ukraine. as for his prospects after his return, i don't think they will be primarily military oriented, more likely his...
