the first days of the war, tell me, please, does estonia have any projects, in this case state or non-state projects, which help to rebuild ukrainian cities and villages? yes, of course, as i already said, we started this work already in the 22nd year, and all these projects related to reconstruction in ukraine began then, in particular already. it is conditionally ours, our region, our region, since estonia is a small country and, and we have limited resources, and we thought that it is necessary to approach the issue of restoring ukraine very comprehensively, so we chose for itself one area, one region, and we provide assistance for reconstruction right there, we helped to build. kindergarten and

conduct training for teachers, educators, in order for such help to be long-term, it is not just to build one house or one shelter, but to help in such a way that it is long-term and covers the problems faced by a specific region, of course , well, but we talked about money that goes from estonia, or, for example, military support that goes from estonia to ukraine, let's talk now about the help that ukrainians who are currently in the territory of the republic of estonia receive, do you have any statistics at this moment, exactly how many citizens of ukraine are there and is there any tendency to return to ukraine? yes, of course, we have to become. as for the ukrainians who

live now in estonia, and we have provided them from the first day of their arrival in estonia with any assistance, any assistance that we could provide, it is medical assistance, social protection, education, we also opened two special schools, specialized schools for... ukrainian children, where they can be educated in the estonian language, but keep their language, their culture, and can study according to the ukrainian curriculum, so we are trying to do everything for the ukrainian refugees who are in estonia so that they do not lost this connection with their country, with their culture. of course,

we have other plans, projects, but the main slogan of the government is that it is necessary for ukrainians to feel that they are welcome here in estonia, and i can confidently say that ukrainians in estonia definitely feel that they are welcomed in this country, because my daughter has been living in the territory of the republic of estonia for more than two years, she studies there and she... knows how estonians think, how estonians help, and how estonians are trying to do everything to bring our joint victory over the russian aggressor closer. now a little about the victory: in estonia, besides, of course, women and children, there are many men who received, it is not temporary shelter, temporary protection, it is called, as far as i i understand, in estonia, please tell me, now in many, at least in the eastern...

countries, they are talking about the fact that they are somehow trying to cooperate with the government of ukraine regarding men who are subject to conscription into the army and who are militarily obligated for to somehow help these men, at least register in ukraine with the relevant authorities, and maybe even return them to ukraine, is there something similar in estonia? yes, such discussions, such requests began to arrive some time ago, but our previous one the prime minister said that since people live in estonia legally, we have given them temporary residence permits. and we do not plan to send them

back to ukraine, because we have rules, we have them. obligations, and this also comes from european legislation, that is , we have no plans to send them back to ukraine, however, in this sense we cooperate with the ukrainian authorities, with the ukrainian embassy in tallinn, and we understand that there are needs in ukraine, but i think , that many ukrainians who... live in ukraine, they want to return to their country, they are waiting for such an opportunity, for opportunities, to return, this was one of the reasons why we started the reconstruction so early, so that people could

see the perspective of the future, we have kindergartens, our local communities, etc., so that it was easier for people to return, we... of course, we are cooperating with the ukrainian authorities in order to understand how to help the ukrainians, but as i say, we are not going to send them back if they do not want it. of course, madam ambassador, one more question, ah, a question, one might say, from of ukrainian students studying in estonia, appeared recently, well, literally a month or two ago. information that, for example, in lithuania they are going to or have already passed a law according to which benefits will be taken away from ukrainian students who study under the exchange program, or are they going to do something similar in estonia or not? we have ukrainian

students who have been studying in estonian universities for many years, even before it started... there are many ukrainians because they are very smart, they are very eager to learn, and so far, i don't have students we have, and we are proud of them, had information about the government's plans to stop assistance under the programs that are currently active. calm down, everything will be fine, thanks to our brothers and sisters in estonia of course. let us , therefore, ukrainian students should now once again return to the topic of war, unfortunately, and talk about red lines, there is a lot of talk about these red lines in the west, for

some they exist, for some they are clearly defined, for some they are very unclear, but for estonia in this war, in ours joint war, i will call it that. in our joint war with the russian aggressor, are there any red lines? this is my favorite question, thank you for it, estonia has never talked about any red lines, for us the most important thing, one of the most important things, is... integrity, territorial integrity, democracy, cultural identity of people, and we strive for that in estonia as well, in our country, and that's what we really like about ukraine, and

we don't see any red lines when it comes to russia's brutal war against ukraine, all war crimes, genocide. that they committed, we believe that there cannot be any red lines here, and our goal is to preserve ukrainian independence, democracy, territorial integrity, that is why we support ukraine. in everything we can so that it can achieve these goals, and accordingly, we do not see any red lines here as such, the government has already said on many occasions that we are ready

to discuss any possibility in terms of helping ukrainians, and most importantly - it is to help ukraine precisely... in this war, then we ready to discuss any solutions, ways, but since we are a small country. we understand that there is, we need to cooperate with other countries, move together, then it will be easier to discuss these issues with our partners, and we are ready to be a pioneer in certain solutions, so our red line, if i can call it, or blue-yellow... it's not a red line, it's a yellow,

a blue line, and it's to help ukraine win this war of aggression, it's just, it's just incredible, i thank you very much for that, and look, in estonia itself, i understand you now you are trying with all your might to help us win this war, but in estonia they don't consider it, they don't say so. are they preparing, frankly, are they preparing in estonia for a possible attack from russia now, because there was a lot of talk about it at the beginning of the invasion of ukraine 2.5 years ago, but are they talking about it now in estonia? of course, when we became an independent state, in the early 1990s, we...we were always very wary of our neighbor, and we had no illusions that

russia had no plans to invade, and we both nato and the eu always talked about a possible threat from russia, we... we warned other countries about it, so we have been preparing for self-defense for a long time since the beginning of the 90s, that is why we wanted to acquire membership in the eu and, we wanted to join nato, we prepared step by step for that, and every year we increased our spending on...

so yes, we are preparing and we continue to prepare, i can't say that we started thinking about it or preparing only after the 14th year, when russia occupied. part of ukraine, or after the start of full-scale war, we did something step by step, every day, to protect ourselves from this evil, and we must always prepare and defend ourselves against this evil, because this evil is not foreseen, this evil can attack in any wave, i am a witness to this, we were in february 2022, so we have to constantly prepare. let's say two more words about ordinary estonians. your country is small. but as far as i know, different people live in different parts, of course,

what is the attitude of estonians after 2.5 years of full-scale invasion of ukraine to the fact that support of your ukrainian government and to what is happening in ukraine. why am i asking because, as far as i know, in the north-east of estonia, in the narva area, there are a lot of russian-speaking citizens of estonia living there, or they support it. all the actions of your estonian government in support of ukraine? yes, for many years we have a russian-speaking minority living in estonia, we have been trying to integrate them into estonian society for almost 30 years, and of course we see that there is a certain contingent of people who do not...want this integration, they still looking more into

side of russia, but estonian estonian society and the government of estonia, of course we support ukraine, and further it is not even a question of reducing such aid, i think that because of the war. has been going on for over 2.5 years and the brutality of putin's regime every day. increases, strengthens, and we are ready to help ukraine in the long term, not only for victory, but also for further recovery, so support is increasing, i can say, and if you look at the non-governmental organizations

of ordinary citizens who help ukraine, we see that every month, or even that... week, support comes from ordinary estonians who collect or provide humanitarian aid, but just yesterday i read that three estonian non-governmental organizations that have been helping ukraine for over 2.5 years have again sent a new column to ukraine. aid, and there were medical products, and drones, and military aid for the front, for the army, for rescuers, they help, i continue to help, it comes and

even increases in volume, since, as i said, it is the capture of ukraine, it is very big in estonia, and every day we are shocked by the brutality of putin's regime, that it continues, this brutality is happening, and of course our support will not decrease, it will only increase. well, this is a mutual admiration, i must tell you, we admire the estonians for their support and help to ukraine from the very beginning. because in some countries they are trying to find some things to justify the fact that they do not want to help, and we admire the estonians, who have helped and supported us since the first day of the war, madam ambassador, i thank you very much for visiting me today and the last questions for you: you have been in ukraine for a year, i understand that you have a busy schedule, you came to us after an important

meeting, i mean for an interview, and and you have many such meetings, but do you have time? did you have time this year to travel, travel around ukraine a little, do you have a favorite place in ukraine? oh, definitely, when i came to ukraine a year ago, i told my colleagues that i am the ambassador in ukraine, not in kyiv, which means that i have to travel a lot and see how they live local communities, i have... and yes, i was in kharkiv, in odessa, in rivne, in zhytomyr, of course, this is our partner, a partner region, and i was in many corners of ukraine, and i think that it is important to demonstrate to local communities that we support them, and we are not

afraid to come to them, come to these. territory, because we understand that what they face every day are these attacks, shelling, alarms, and it is important for me to demonstrate that i am here, i am ready to provide adequate information to my capital, so that they can decide that more help is needed in in that direction or in another direction, whatever, i love your country very much, it is very beautiful. very wonderful, every day i see more and more surprisingly very beautiful things, and i really like the resilience of ukrainians, and by the way, i was also on the front line at the beginning of march, i said that i needed

to talk to the soldiers. to see what was going on at the front, and it was during those difficult times when foreign aid began to be kind of reduced or delayed, and i said then that i had to get it's from the front that feedback so that i can take that information to tallinn so that they can make the necessary decisions about what specifically... is needed, so i will continue to travel, now i want to focus more on the areas that ... face more than everyone with the energy crisis and understand what is specifically needed for these regions, so of course i will travel as much as possible. traveling madam ambassador,

we thank her for that, and we thank her for all the help and support we receive from the estonian government and from ordinary estonians who from the very beginning began to help us defend our country, our independence, our sovereignty and our territorial integrity. madam ambassador, i am... thank you very, very much for joining this conversation today, thank all the citizens of your country for everything you do for us. it was an interview with the ambassador of the republic of estonia in ukraine, anna likolk, who came to us a year ago and has already done a lot in this position. espresso interviews will continue, my name is yuriy fizar, see you soon. tired

period in ukrainian music. 80s, because a film called yaremchuk's incomparable world of beauty had already been released, i am sure that before the full-scale invasion it would not have caused such a flurry of interest as it does now, because i was on two screenings, and both got incredible applause at the end, and i'm sure, well, at least i did. i would like to think that this film will become a real hit, we will watch the box office, now you can see how many people gathered for such a pre-release screening in kyiv in the october cinema, a lot of different people came, mostly it was young people, young people became extremely interested in it period, and earlier three, four, five years ago, it was impossible to believe that

young people, who are 20-2 years old there to be interested in this, as it used to be called pop, something like this, mothballed, as many still believe, but now new times have come, i just want to talk about three such, as it seems to me, trends in general in our culture, in any which music, books, literature, first of all, ukrainians became terribly interested in our period of the 20s, began to study... the shooting revival, this is definitely the 20s, 30s, and if we remember the situation with the film house , the word is an endless novel, then you can remember what incredible discussions there were in on social networks, someone liked the film, who didn't like it, how people started discussing the characters, whether it was successful or unsuccessful, what they lied about, or on the contrary they told the whole truth,

it was unbelievable to me. it's interesting to watch all this, and it showed that ukrainians really took a sincere interest, it's all these so-called triggered years of the 20s and 30s, and when the documentary film house of the word of the same team, directed by taras tomenko, was released, there was no such resonance , now we see that it exists, also a lot of interest, now we we find that there are also discussions before the period of the sixties. and first of all, which are related to the name, because not everyone shares this, you know, definition of sixties in general, that it is not like that, it works, that it should be called differently, they emphasize that sixties and dissidents are completely different people , as well as the often-discussed question of how much we like to endow people with various heroic

deeds. yes, and even demand some bold actions from them, and when we find out that they did not do these actions, or did not do them as we imagined, we begin to get disappointed, this is a very bad story, and for example, here is such a vivid example, probably ivan dzyuba, who himself said, his wife in the film ivan and marta, by sergei bukovsky, she said that we did not want not to be heroes with my husband, i say, i really wanted my husband to get out of prison, he wrote a penitential letter there and vasyl stus condemned it, for example, but it was the choice of a person who simply did not want to give his life in all these prisons, and you don't need to endow a person with some really traits that she herself does not want to see in herself, this whole discussion is extremely interesting, it takes place as it does in literary circles, in such a bubble,

but... because among people who, in general, have never been interested in this and only started now read some books, read some biographies, and in fact, now many people are waiting for various series, by the way, and films, they want another film about vasyl stus, so that it is not the same as the previous film, so that the main character is a little more interesting, and also want series about the sixties, about the shot revival and... about our music of the 70s and 80s, which received the name funk a few years ago, why, if anyone does not know, i will tell you a little later, and now about yaremchuk and the film, yaremchuk - the incomparable world of beauty, i admit, it's a little difficult for me to remember this name, i mean the incomparable world of karsa, but this is one of the songs that yaremchuk sang and the band smirichka, in which he was the frontman, if

you say... in more modern film terminology.
