the russians are at war, but there is always something going on, and we organize some kind of protests, it shouldn’t be like that, in 2.5 years, even more, some kind of strategy should be developed, how we communicate these stories, because if there is any, here are these russians who constantly sneak into various film festivals, obviously this is not the first time or the second time, we have been seeing this for 2.5 years and... we should already be able to react to it. korniy hrytsyuk, we are finally on a direct line. by the way, hello. greetings. ah, i watched your movie, i have a preview. and for me, he is terrible for the first time liked it, and secondly, i, you know, now we can show its trailer, you have, it seems, two trailers at once, let me remind our viewers that this is a film where you tell in general how russia uses cinema as

propaganda, and there you give an example of all these films, which the western audience does not see, there is the type of brother two and all that kind of thing, and you know, i rewatched it and i caught myself thinking that this is some kind of completely verified story that you have diplomatically , but you are just saying some of the biggest myths, which exist in the heads of people there in western europe, in america, in canada. about russians, about russian culture, you seem to be breaking things with this film, for example, you show the heroes of the film, yes, and you talk about the fact that russians, ordinary russians, for example, did not forgive the leadership of the defeat in the first chechen war, what do they call it, please tell me, have you really verified these theses, can you call the film your zinema, probably ... a kind of counter-propaganda, but

as for what you believed, it is simple, it probably went that way in itself, in the sense that we watched what russian films were released during the last 30 years and how these films were actually related to those domestic political russian events and foreign political russian events, and at some point i really realized that sometimes it is very difficult to understand where is reality and where is cinema, because russian politicians... they very often quote the heroes of russian films, and the heroes of russian films, in turn, very often quote putin, yeltsin, medvedev, or there are other russian leaders, that is why everything is so mixed up in them that it seems to me that they themselves believed very strongly in their propaganda, in their power, which they show in these films, and therefore, well, i wonder why this happened, well, to me it seems because they really put a lot of money into it, a lot of...resources and very much

use cinema as another, as another tool to promote their own interests. and kornii, how does the foreign audience react to your tape, and tell me, firstly, where you have already shown it, and secondly, what are the reactions, and me an interesting question, because after every screening at festivals there is a q&a, there is a conversation with the film crew, was your story for the audience so... some kind of revealing, and did they talk about the fact that they did not know this there before, but well, in fact, the film is just starting its way, you can say the festival journey, we have shown it only in ukraine, so far during the odesa film festival, and actually next month we will show it in october in luxembourg, then in november we will have screenings in germany, in poland, next year in us screenings in latvia are also planned there. uh

, in the us and in some other countries, so i haven't really talked to the european audience after the screenings, but i talked to the europeans during the stage of working on this film during the so- called development of this project, when we went to various european platforms and presented the project of this film, i had the opportunity to talk with people from the film industry, from the european film industry and for many of these film professionals. well, it was really a shock that russian cinema is this not only zvyagintsev, there is torkovsky and something else that they are used to seeing at major film festivals, russian cinema can be different, and russian cinema for this domestic use is really terrifying, that's why i heard such feedback. and in general, the copyright issues have been resolved, because your film mostly consists of all these russian propaganda. how is it all decided, is it how you

bought them or maybe in some other way, because copyright is such a serious thing if we show a film, especially at film festivals. but this movie is pure a pirated film, you can say so, that is, we did not pay a single penny, of course, to the russian rights holders for these films, we communicated with lawyers in ukraine, with lawyers in germany, in principle, if this film is non-commercial, if it is something like an educational film, that is you can say educational, or a film, well, a cultural product that is shown at film festivals, then in principle it is not necessary to have the rights, because if this film... if the author's statement, and you support the author's statements with specific scenes from these films, if these screenings are not commercial, then it can actually be used. of course, we had huge problems with finding financing for this film, because there is no european film fund, or european television, they are not

ready to finance such a film in which the rights are not cleared. and now with film festivals, well , each film festival decides for itself whether it is ready to show such a film or not. that is, we have been approached quite a lot, well, there are already many film festivals, there are such prestigious european film festivals, you can to say, of an average level, above an average level, and if they were ready to show such a film, if they were not very concerned about this issue of rights, and we talk a lot with people who are specifically engaged in cultural diplomacy, there from the ukrainian institute and so on, they constantly emphasize that it is necessary to choose the right rhetoric when we communicate with foreigners. moreover , to choose the right rhetoric for the countries, because there you need to communicate with the germans in the same way, they understand the intonations well with the french, no, you have to in a different way and so on, with canations, with states and everything else, maybe you have already understood some

points, what kind of rhetoric, maybe familiar to us and which seems fair to us, foreigners in general, i mean western europe, canada, states categorically will not accept? well, this is very much so, it seems to me a difficult question, it is both interesting and difficult at the same time, i think that in principle they still cannot perceive many ukrainian films, especially documentaries or games about the war, but as something so objective , they still think it is subjectively, that these are traumatized ukrainians, now they don't try to look for and watch good russians, that this is... if it's such a strong generalization on our part, that's why, actually, when we made this zinema film, we wanted to show that okay, yes , you know, there is russian cinema, the festival goes to serebryanikov, goes to zvyagentsev, but besides that, russia invests huge resources in

cinema of a completely different direction, and you don’t you don’t see these films, you don’t know them, but here they are, they directly overlap with the aggressive rhetoric of russian politicians and russian propagandists, and it seems to me that our task is possible, well, not to prove something to them, but, well, it is possible to force them to dig and be a little more immersed in the processes that, after all, behind many russian, supposedly cultural and artistic projects , the fesbian ears still stick out, or if you move a little to the side, you can understand that many russian producers, directors, whom we know by default for art house cinema, if they do not hesitate, they also shoot something for propaganda. and we still have literally two minutes left, i want to talk i also watched yours, well, i don’t know if it’s a film , you can call it a project, so i want to live within the project, it’s for the russians, so we convince them that let’s surrender, they won’t do anything with you here, but you did

a 51-minute interview with russian prisoners of war, and i see that you threw it all into ... on youtube on july 11 and it has already had almost a million views, you also watched what these soldiers told you, and i just advise everyone to watch it all, because honestly, it was easy for me at some stages it's funny how this man, who is shown talking about some conspiracy theories, comes to the conclusion that after all, this whole war is this whole thing, it was started by a bunch of these people who decide everything, the world power, these 10 people who are not putin, all this is not...

and it seems to me that this project, it also works for the russians to see how many of their military actually are in the ukrainian volon, find their own there and not block these exchanges. and lately, as we can see, plus-minus exchanges have gone because of what is there many conscripts from the kursk region were captured, so in such projects they still have a practical function, but of course, as this film shows, it seems to me that in the minds of the russian military, as far as everything is bad there, and they really translated it into english, foreigners can watch it and make their own conclusions, it seems to me, that even though these people are in captivity and... of course, we can make a discount on this, that they don't all speak like that, as they think, but it seems to me, even as they do

communicated with us and what they told us is still horrifying and makes us understand that this is not putin's war, that it is still a war of russians against ukrainians. yes, absolutely, and it reads clearly enough on the one hand, but on the other hand, it's not, well, it really doesn't look, it seems to me like propaganda, although hell knows, maybe somewhere in western europe it will be accepted, yes, but in any case ... for our viewers, i advise you to watch this project on the khachuzhit youtube channel, it is our ukrainian project. korniy, thank you very much, we will wait for your success with your film zinema, and we will ask you how foreign people react to it. let me remind you, our dear viewers, that we talked with korniy hrytsyuk, who directed the film zinym, and about how the russian authorities use cinema in... propaganda, we have, i forgot, we have an excerpt from this film, let's take a look, so that you understand that this is a disruption, my name is korniy

hrytsyuk, i am a ukrainian film director, this film is my visual exploration of russian cinema, which is an important tool of the kremlin in its wars. not only against ukraine. chechens, you know, bandits, moreover professionally trained. but these are bandits. and chechens are bandits. all? yes, everyone. well, well, i think that we have seen all these films, we already understand what, what happened there, and finally we, many of us, by the way, of us, after only a full-scale invasion , understood all the intricacies and of russian propaganda, that... this is russia, that is, let's be fair to ourselves before relying

on all these westerners, we were also among many of us with such closed eyes, they finally opened, and now our task to help open eyes and everyone else, probably. with that, i bid you farewell, friends, have a relaxing weekend and see you next week. in veresnev, there are 20% discounts on fervex in the psyllany bam and oskad pharmacies. in september, there are discounts on mukaltin, 10% in podorozhnyk, bam and oskad pharmacies. september discounts on rezi stol. 10% at podorozhnyk, bam and oskad pharmacies. in september, there are discounts on sudokrem. 15% in pharmacies plantain, bam and. state verdict with serhiy rudenko

greetings, dear friends, this is the espresso tv channel and the program of reconstruction and

reconnaissance of cities is on the air, i, pesya vakulyuk, will conduct this special issue for you, and this is a project in which we talk about the reconstruction of ukraine, we talk together with experts, we talk about what there are renewed initiatives so that those who need it know what rights they have and what they do not have opportunities, and we also want to improve the recovery process in different parts of our state. today we will talk about the kharkiv region and the reconstruction of logistics facilities, guests. of our program is tetyana melnyk, she is an expert on the restoration of municipal infrastructure of the association of cities of ukraine. mrs. tatyana, i congratulate you. congratulations, ms. lesya. and i suggest you to watch together with our viewers the story of my colleagues about how bridges in kharkiv region that were destroyed by russian rockets are being restored. well,

then we will talk with you in more detail already about reconstruction at the beginning of the full-scale invasion , 27 bridges and overpasses were destroyed or damaged in the kharkiv region, which is actually the vascular system of logistics of the entire region. 2022 was the year of fighting for kharkiv oblast. the invaders captured half of the region. the defense forces of ukraine managed to knock them out quite quickly, but in the constant military maneuvers, all the key logistical routes were destroyed. primarily bridges. the transport network was completely paralyzed. this is how the bridges looked after the kharkiv counteroffensive. damages were estimated at uah 8 billion. when runation by shelling russian federation vin vchend was completely destroyed. the remains of concrete and truss

structures, which were there, were scattered even up to 50 m. this bridge was destroyed by the russians with single-point missile strikes, today it is almost completely rebuilt, it was completely restored, that is , the piles were driven in, the foundations completely, new supports , grill bars, beams and coverings, it was completely made from scratch. in the infrastructure restoration and development service , they emphasize that rebuilding bridges is not a luxury, but a necessity. some of them have a key significance not only for civil, but also for military logistics. a significant object is located on highway m03, kyiv-kharkiv-dozhanskyi, which combines many regions, it is the main artery of road management of one of the most important arteries of road management, humanitarian corridors, and others, which are currently very important for of ukraine. rebuilding bridges is not

only difficult, but also dangerous, especially in war zones, in particular this bridge was mined, and now rockets are flying past it. the entire area was mined before at the beginning of the works, we had to wait while they were demining, well, there was no shelling of the precinct itself, thank god. but there were rockets that flew overhead, there were many times when we were working on objects, hitting, either close to, or into the artificial structure itself, where people, road workers, road workers, construction workers were working, and for this we were suspended for some objects for some time of operation, at some it is completely suspended at the moment. it is precisely because of the threat of repeated shelling that the service cannot publicly name which bridges it is restored from scratch, the work on the overpass is 100% done, it is ready, now

the approaches to the overpass are being arranged, asphalting, as you can see, and the installation of the lower layers of road clothing. now we are at one object, which is already in the final stages, that is, the completion of the specified artificial structure is already 97%. so i will say in my own words, the marafet, as we call it, these are some of the final stage works, and this is one of the three bridges in the region that have been completely repaired and put into operation. currently, 17 bridges are in operation, 10 of them they are promised to be commissioned by the end of the current year. artem lagutenko, oscar yanson from espresso tv channel. so, i will remind you that you are watching a special issue about... the program of reconstruction and development of cities, and today the guest of our special issue is tetyana melnyk, she is an expert on reconstruction, an expert on the restoration of municipal infrastructure of the association of cities

of ukraine. mrs. tetyana, once again i congratulate you on our airwaves, actually there was a story of my colleague about the reconstruction of facilities in the kharkiv region, as told by the head of the kharkiv regional military administration oleg senigubov, in kharkiv oblast only. 30,000 infrastructure objects actually need such rebuilding and restoration, this is a crazy number, within the framework of the whole of ukraine, do you know about the numbers, how many infrastructure objects are there and how much more the housing stock of some private households needs restoration, yes, leso, damages in the field of transport infrastructure is very important. by them and they rank all the damages that were caused to ukraine due to the armed aggression of the russian federation in the second place, this is about 20% of all direct damages, and

is, according to the assessment made at the end of 2023, about 37 billion us dollars, in the first place in terms of destruction losses. infrastructure is housing itself, residential infrastructure, and these are very significant losses, and they make up about 40%, almost 40% of the total, but today we operate with data from the end of 2023, when a rapid assessment of the losses caused by armed aggression was made, prepared rdna3 is such a report prepared jointly by the world. the bank, the un, the government of ukraine and the european union by the commission, and such a report is just for the end of the 23rd year, we are waiting for updated data, and

in general, as far as social infrastructure in territorial communities is concerned, a very significant number of educational institutions were also damaged, 3,800 institutions were damaged, and there are also destroyed objects , and... such damages amount to about 5%, but today we understand that during 2024, during these more than eight months, new destructions occurred, both residential and very strongly energy infrastructure, which will also add to volumes and possibly somewhere will change the proportions of these losses, probably what you also wanted to say about housing. that in relation to housing, such volumes reach more than, if converted into hryvnias more than 3 trillion hryvnias, this is a very large volume of

losses. and needs to restore not only direct damage, but also calculated needs to restore such buildings. and who is responsible for the restoration of infrastructure facilities, and whose responsibility is the restoration of residential buildings? there are currently various programs, various mechanisms for recovery, of course, local self-government bodies are working, the state works, international partners, international organizations help, many... states, european states, provide assistance directly to the communities, for example, the baltic countries, estonia, latvia, lithuania provide assistance to the de-occupied communities of kyiv region, buchi in particular, in addition, we know a lot about fruitful, close cooperation of denmark with the mykolaiv city territorial community and in general with the mykolaiv region, this is such a long-term

program aimed at if first of all at the beginning it was directed to the provision of humanitarian aid for items such as equipment, basic necessities, programs for longer-term support of the city in its restoration and development, in the planning of this restoration and development, are already being prepared. does it make sense to rebuild all objects, if we talk about infrastructure objects that were destroyed as a result of russian... attacks, perhaps there are such objects that are already morally obsolete, and if to restore, then actually build from scratch according to according to some new principles, taking into account the latest technologies. to answer this question, you need to understand how we are today, a recovery planning system has been built, as of today, we already have several different

documents provided by legislation, which, in particular. of local self-government should be developed in order to plan their recovery, to study exactly those needs, to analyze what needs to be restored, what does not need to be restored, what are the higher priority projects that can be implemented a little later, but today there is such a number in the legislation, not that of contradictions, but issues that require agreement in order to establish and to make... the recovery process more effective, because there are several different documents, both the recovery plan and the recovery program, which are provided for by legislation, communities also develop development strategies, other sectoral documents that relate to the development of various areas at the local level or the solution of certain issues, in addition, lasted for a very long time, but

today we can say already... the state strategy of regional development has been updated, which formulates the main challenges, which, including those caused by armed aggression, and relying on such challenges, relying on such a strategic document, which will be adopted in august, the communities can plan more deliberately, better understanding what challenges at the national level stand for recovery. can take into account in their development strategies also the goals set in the state strategy. another problematic issue is that there is no separate clearly defined source of funding for these planning documents. there is a recovery plan, but there is no clear source of funding for it. of course, local self-government bodies from their local budgets approve

programs and carry out urgent financing. needs, including for providing housing, for the reconstruction of some houses, if these budgets are capable and have such funds, that is why the question is extremely important and acute about ensuring that local budgets are capable in the future and in the next year, and this is precisely today relevant, because the budget process is ongoing, and the association of cities of ukraine advocates such important issues that concern the replenishment of local budgets and in relation to pdpo and in relation to other sources of income. well, as we know, the communities say that they often do not have enough money for reconstruction, and then they do not refuse any offers from other countries to join, as, for example, in lviv, when there was a rocket attack, when several houses were damaged, and minister, prime minister of poland donald.
