first, we are a private donor charitable organization here in ukraine, but we have partners in america, switzerland, norway, sweden, in various countries, these are primarily private donors, in cooperation with city administrations, with organizations such as unhcr , un mom, a person in trouble, cararias, with others, funds, we cooperate, as usual, we start a project at the request of the city administration, we start about the project and then involve others, other organizations, and by the way, the city and regional administrations, as far as they are accept? in

this process, do they just give their own requests, say how many people should come and ask for your help, is it possible that they also financially support these projects somewhere, well, from the beginning of the war in the 22nd year , they also attracted funds, well, obviously they gave premises for repairs, but understanding today's situation in such organizations. administrations have less funds, and we have to involve others, second organizations, but our goal is to do everything turnkey, turnkey, even when other organizations are involved, and my wife, tusya, shmurguna varlyshyn always helps to finish.

project, this is furniture, curtains, and kitchens and so on, so that it is as similar as possible to family, to home, such comfort, from what i know, it is not only a program, you have not only programs to provide housing, and there is much more support there, that there are special people who work in this social housing, such as commandants, who help to organize life if... there are any problems, tell how to repair it, regulate it, that is, it is like this, such versatile care and support , most of all internally displaced persons in your social houses need, and actually, what justifies itself the most? well, i can say that we have created such a team of female commanders who in the group... communicate with each other on whatsapp

when there are problems, my wife goes to meet with them to solve all these problems with them and with the administrations, and that's one thing in the same way, we see various health problems, and therefore, for example, in kaluga with the urban climate. as a hospital and a dental hospital, we have engaged a program where we help patients with dental problems, they also engaged with the help of such a doctor ken, who just arrived from america again with the support of... ophthalmological problems

with eye problems. and all this is actually very important, because people often forget about their own health, they are happy to have a roof over their heads, and sometimes they simply do not have the financial ability to do so, they do not know where to go in a new place, and this is actually a very important moment, to allow people who came from the other end of the country to another settlement, maybe it is... from a small village to a huge city, or vice versa, and they should be allowed not only to have their basic needs - housing, food and drink - provided, but also to integrate them into society. we understand that the war will not end tomorrow, and perhaps this is their stay in the rear cities, this is for a long time, they have to settle down here for a while, find some other occupations, how do you help with this, well... uh, how with

this help? first of all, and we, we celebrate anniversaries, for example, we were in shevchenko. yesterday you celebrated the anniversary of the opening of the shelter, the shelter in shevchenkov, this is ivano-frankivsk region, and these commandants have a very big influence, they monitor both health and technical problems in the house, and sometimes food. and so on, in short, this is a great cooperation with the commandants, and with the city administrations, so that the idps are integrated into society, and also because we know that most of them will not go

back home, well, these are shelters, but a new direction ... where people will live for a long, long time, ah, this is, ah, uh, construction of social-type houses, where there are no shelters, these are already apartments. in drohobych, three we repair such houses, or build them from scratch, in poltava, in poltava, in the city we build two houses, 12 apartments each, ah, with the involvement of, er, different. organization, we are starting this because you, you know, shelter is one thing, and if they are going to live there for a long time, they need adequate, decent premises, we will talk with you

in more detail about your plans for the future, but i would like to you told our viewers more about yourself, because you are an american of ukrainian origin, you managed the company for 35 years. so is your wife the vice-president of your charity organization is the co-founder of the charity foundation patrytsia shmorgun gavrylyshyn, how did you even get the idea to start a charity work? i understand that for many ukrainians from abroad, too, when the full-scale invasion began, this war hit some of their feelings hard, and they could not stay away from this war, and they could not stay away from the problems that... they are facing people who leave their homes, how did you develop this need internally and how does your wife support you in this supported, in general, how did this process of your charity work begin for you in these 2.5 years? 30 years in ukraine, ah, i

worked and headed a large agro-agriholding in ukraine, and my wife. created dental medical clinics in kyiv, porcelain, a-ah, bohdan havrylyshyn's wife, bohdan havrylyshyn's family has a bohdan havrylyshyn family fund. in short, we were here when the war started, the war started, we came to lviv, i was the first... i arrived, i was here when the war started, my wife moved from kyiv with difficulty, and we also saw, we worked in the ukrainian educational, on the ukrainian educational platform, helped to collect funds and so on, and i see a great

need for idps who came to the station, had nowhere to go, and therefore the idea arose... to create such a fund, where they could build or renovate premises, accessible premises for idps. and that's how it all started. i myself am an american, i served in the navy, i was a pilot, my wife is a psychologist, she works in the private sector, and... and i am a co-owner of a porcelain business, and we are here, ukraine has given us a lot , and we decided to give something to her, you mentioned that at first the educational platform was your

philanthropic goal, and only after the full-scale invasion you also engaged in the construction of social housing to give shelter to those who... need it, the issue of education remains in us relevant, after all, in the whole world, but over the past four years, while there was an epidemic of coronavirus, then the war began, the quality of education in ukraine has decreased very... a lot, this is shown by various studies, and the results of pisa, in fact, today we also talked with liliya hrynevych, i she also confirmed that something needs to be done with education, it needs to be raised, returned, so that ukrainian schoolchildren, then graduates, students, can decently and well develop this country after the end of the war, and according to your observations, where are the biggest difficulties in ukrainian education now and is it possible... to help them? oh, i'm not a specialist, i just became a volunteer in the ukrainian educational platform,

it's an organization, a foundation here in lviv, and i can't comment on it, our, our mission, like move ukraine, it's a, it's a room for idps, and we have a new direction, precisely in rehabilitation centers, because ms. oksano oneshchuk, the governor of ivano-frankivsk, approached us with such a need, and i'm sorry that i changed the topic a little, but, but, we, we see, and there is a very big need here, because there are centralized in the city, in lviv, and anbrokyny. and superhumans make their huge, huge contribution, but we saw

the need for a more decentralized need in small towns, in otg, and therefore decided to start building in such villages as, well, in ternopil, in the cluster hospital, in burshtyn we are building in dykanka, poltava ob. in the region, we are building the headlands, we are building rehabilitation centers, and we are equipping them, such are the needs, and this actually allows us to provide access to high-quality rehabilitation to those who, for example, have to travel far to the regional center, i understand correctly, yes, exactly so, because veterans are returning home , and they need to go to lviv, for example, an apartment. to hire, this, this is a big problem, and therefore, such

disputes are smaller, we build modular houses, with hospitals, ah, where, we provide, are provided under nszzu, nszzu packages, just psychological, and and physical rehabilitation, such, well, actually , if you look at the official website of your charitable organization, it is indicated that you are primarily concerned about mothers, with children, immigrants, the elderly and people with disabilities, while their loved ones are protecting ukraine, but as we understand the rehabilitation centers that you are currently working on, that you want to open in small towns, in villages, they will also be available not only for this category, but also for others, we understand correctly that. .. ambulatory

rehabilitation assistance, it is for any, for veterans, for mothers, for children who suffered from war or stroke and so on, yes. are the ukrainians, whom you help, ready to receive this assistance, do people believe that this is how they came, helped them, built a place for rehabilitation, provided housing and sincerely care, are trying to give a new start, not just a roof over the fish's head, but also fishing rod, as with this, that is, with mental moments, with people's faith in the fact that it is possible to start now. something and try yourself on to a new place, er, well, here is the topic

of people's integration, and if they feel comfortable where they live, then rehabilitation centers are part of a hospital, they are not private centers, but also, as i said, under the nszzu package, in short, the state. finances the salaries of doctors, psychiatrists, therapists, and so on, our goal is to build and equip, and what to do next, this is it... the affairs of the hospital, well, obviously, as with our shelters and social apartments, we constantly check all this business, ah, we are leaving, especially my wife is leaving, ah to check, because it's one thing to say that everything will be like this, and the second is to see if

it really works correctly, and... we give the equipment temporarily for rent, well, not for rent, we just own it, you see, the rehabilitation center works, we give it to the hospital, if not, we take it away, we move on, this is our goal, the control is constant, so that the control is not, the control is constant, mr. john, let me just know, we understand that you are also trying to involve in these projects local contracts. and in ukraine, unfortunately, you know, such a practice came to be that when you when dealing with contractors, not everything is so smooth. well, i think you understand, in these 2 and a half years, that there are different situations, and it's very good that we talk about the positive aspects of that philanthropic, you know, path of yours, but on the other hand, we also understand that there are certain difficulties you

face with contractors, yes? well, in particular with contractors. and yes, we have guys in the fund who work with contractors, okay, but always a tender, always checked, and i've been here for 30 years, i may have already seen a lot mine, plus i worked in agriculture, in short. everything is checked with the tenders, but there were those who tried to cheat, inflated the prices, or performed the work in bad faith, well , so far, people, even the contractors, understand that this is charity, i don't, it's not private,

it's not a private business, and we work with those contractors, and by the way, in those cities. where am i, because i am in agriculture, our farms were all over ukraine, and we work in those cities where we trust the administration or otg and so further. in short, this is a very close cooperation, ah, with city administrations, ah, and with contractors, and our guys who... go there and check everything, that’s the end, please tell me , is there a turn for you who actually want to move into new housing, into social housing, or maybe those who also have ideas for certain projects, rehabilitation centers, similar institutions, but need help to help them with construction, for

example, if there is people who want to move in, right? well, in some cities there are ball systems introduced, in short, as an example, sir taras kuchma, he is the mayor of the dorgobych city administration, he has a clear point system for needs, for idps, because there are many idps, for example, in torgobych, and er, and and and because. people go through that point system, in short, the greater the need, the more likely it is that a person will find, well, we thank you first of all, and thank you for your work, thank you to the whole team for what you do, what you do, we hope that your next projects will be implemented easily and for the benefit of

number will increase, in fact somewhere in 11:30, at 11:30 the strikes began, and at first it was a suburb of kharkiv, lyubotyn, it is a large railway station, and there were strikes on some enterprise, we can't disclose it yet, then around 1:00 p.m. there were a lot of blows in a row, i just hid behind two walls, we listened in different districts of kharkiv, eh, now i have a chat in my department, the university, i teach at the university, it’s just a roll call, we don’t greet each other with anyway, we find out if everyone is alive and well. and mind location, we know what happened, there were arrivals at the shopping center and arrivals at the new post office,

and they write that the palace of sports was badly damaged, it is such a huge palace, there are also arrivals written in the area of ​​the studentskaya metro station, where once my building of my university was most located , it has already been destroyed by the russians, and there are also flights there, that is, in fact... today is the day of knowledge, i directed all my knowledge to the destruction and destruction, and of course there will be victims, and of course, they again very quickly continued to bombard kharkiv, when we heard that ambulances were on their way, rescuers were on their way, and russia continued to bomb anyway, which means that most likely there will be many more victims. if we understand correctly, among those medics who were injured and one of whom is in serious condition, these are those who arrived at the landing sites, and they... actually came under this next wave of shelling, we will monitor their condition and how many rescuers and medics were injured, well, they risk

their own lives to go to help people and it's... terrible that the russians are taking advantage of this, mrs. galina, we know that only one district of kharkiv region will allow non -online education, education in schools, which district is it, and actually, how will children go to school tomorrow, students to universities, or will it be more distance learning after all? ? thank you, we have distance education only in the southern district, which is the most distant from the territory of russia. this is the krasnograd district, there will be allowed partially live learning, uh, regarding university students, for example, my university, the day of knowledge has already started on august 1, in our country everyone starts in different ways, and this is due to russian aggression, everyone chooses how it is more convenient to work with students, of course, this is distance learning, i also want to return to those bits that russia is doing to us, for some reason they really took up

kharkiv again, for example, all night the people of kharkiv could not sleep because of the very stifling air, around kharkiv it seems that someone is deliberately setting fire to the fields, and the saltivka generally suffocates, and the smoke is not just , you know, from a burning line or something, it is with some chemical impurities, and not can people go and set fire when people do not know whether cascade mines are scattered there or not, the impression is that sabotage is also going on, when the whole of kharkiv closes its windows and coughs and has a sore throat, and then... the bombing, that is, russia somehow took a very strongly for kharkiv, something really annoys them about kharkiv, they probably expected that their people live here for them, but now they have decided to once again start such massive sabotage against us from all sides. mrs. galina, you just mentioned that there used to be communication between those who live in kharkiv, in the surrounding area and abroad, in the belgorod region,

they went back and forth to work at the markets. and the like, we know that some time ago the communication quieted down a little, and now, when the intense shelling of kharkiv began, firstly, and secondly, we see ukrainian troops in korshchyna, that kind of balance is beginning to emerge, that in local people write in public what those who communicate with russians say, if there are still such, well , now what i hear from those who communicate with their close relatives, those relatives have become less likely to communicate, the impression is that relatives consider it dangerous to communicate with kharkiv residents, they began to talk less, to say something, and it can be seen that they became afraid to communicate with our people, with ukrainians. mrs. halyna, thank you, thank you for being with us, for telling us what is happening in kharkiv, halyna kuts,

kharkiv regional deputy. council was in touch with us, let me briefly remind you, about 18 ballistic strikes on kharkiv, on civilian areas, on residential buildings, on educational institutions, the new post office, a shopping center, a supermarket, a sports palace, in a word, those places where there is a lot of civilian population, where there could be a lot of people at such a time, on a sunday, this is what the russians do now every day. with kharkiv, especially with the northern part of the city and the suburbs, and such a cynical way russians, so to speak, decided to congratulate ukrainians, in particular kharkivians, on the day of knowledge, we now know who they are, in fact, we draw conclusions, unfortunately, those of us who did not learn history, did not draw conclusions from history, now, unfortunately, have a clear example of how you can trust russians and that in fact, they want us, but now...

it's already 3:00 p.m., which means it's news time on the espresso tv channel, so we'll pass the floor to our colleague irina koval, who will share more detailed information with us, i think about what happened in kharkov, well, ira will tell you not only about this, most likely, so ira, we will give you the floor. thank you, marta, well, indeed, in the issue i will talk about the fact that not only kharkiv is being hit by massive russians, but also about the situation in other regions and about other things all. what they are doing on our land, i will tell literally in a moment, just wait.
