This city embodying the best of art of this country and not only , is now in oblivion. And it’s both the danger from the Russian bombings and the absurdity of this situation because of the government' politics .
My great gratitude to Mr. Andrew Penny, New York, USA for his valuable participation and support since 2022
Would you like to learn more about the state of art in Ukraine, the indifference of the government and the helplessness of its citizens?
The Illusion of Independence
The political system of this country is built on the false promises of each of its six presidents, who became billionaires after leaving office, and on the consistent violation of constitutional laws—in other words, on lies. Both revolutions on Maidan ended in deceit as well and failed to bring improvement; instead, they led to a 100% devaluation of the national currency each time. This was a deliberate devaluation of local money, benefiting those with dollar accounts, enabling them to amass greater wealth within the country.
The war has exposed the fraudulent underside of the country and its ruling class, which misled the broader world and its own citizens—citizens who, over 33 long years of Ukraine’s "independence," have not learned to fight for their rights.
For over 20 years, since 2004, the Ukrainian authorities and officials have misled the public and continue to uphold the deception that Ukrainian is the language of the overwhelming majority of citizens. In reality, this language is native to less than 15% of the population. The largest and most significant cities—Kharkiv, Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk, including Kyiv—are Russian-speaking, as is the entire East, Donbas, and, of course, Crimea.
A referendum on language has never been held, and, in fact, Ukrainian was declared the state language unilaterally.
The adoption of the Kivalov/Kolesnichenko law—proposed by pro-Russian politicians—was logically used to inflame internal conflicts. But who supported it, and how? The Ukrainian parliament operates as a large cash register, so there is little reason to be surprised by the passage of anti-civil laws.
Banning advertisements in Russian—or in the language of the majority of the population with the highest purchasing power—is an economic crime.
The direct division of citizens into two opposing camps, the ban on Russian-language literature, the transition of all school and university subjects to Ukrainian, the artificial imposition of the language, and, finally, the losses in culture and the arts cannot be seen as anything other than a crime against humanity, freedom of expression, or simply a well-known and long-standing form of discrimination.
There are countries that live happily without
an army, but, there is no country that can exist without music, painting or cinema - joy, which is the Art! No government assistance program was proposed for creative persons, for all those who create art. These people, men under the age of 60, like others, are forbidden to travel abroad. How to survive? Unlike most European and North and South American countries, this pandemic has passed or been replaced by war and has had a devastating impact on Ukraine, leading to the most serious cultural crisis in recent times. How to support families? How to save the art of Ukraine?! Would not the definition of 'discrimination' be too modest to state what is happening here and now?

So, let’s briefly list the main reasons why Ukrainians are fighting on the front.
For the in2-terests of the EU and NATO, so that they do not have to fight against them.
For the interests of the American and European military-industrial complex and rearmament.
. For the purpose of field tests of weapons, navigation systems and communications.
4. For the regime of Zelensky, which provides partners with investment and return of funds in the first 3 points.
For the guarantees of corruption schemes by Zelensky himself and his predecessors,
For the assets of oligarchic groups and groups that privatized all valuable property and assets after the collapse of the USSR.
For the land of the oligarchs and private ports to sell grain.
For the organization of mass resettlement in Ukraine of black people with the aim of bringing forth a new, even more convenient breed of subordinate citizens.
For maintaining the power of those who brought the war to Ukraine.
For the borders to be closed
List not complete.

It is difficult to explain the reasons for the lack of real air defense in the second, by meaning, city and first military hub in Ukraine.
In parallel with the operation of the armed forces in Kursk, Kharkov is subjected to heavy bombardments every day. People die, homes are destroyed and, as is often the case, outside of the city there is already a habit and criminal tranquility to what happens here.
It is also unexplainable that no effort has been made to protect this city since February 2022.

The strikes were caused by a FAB-250 bomb from the UMPB, which was launched from Belgorod.
"One of the bombs hit in the area of the tenth floor of a multi-storey building on Velozavodskaya Street. This is a sleeping area of the city, where only civilians live, there are no objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The liquidation of the consequences continues. People continue to apply, but already appeals are diagnosed with an acute reaction to stress. Three citizens in serious condition,
43 residents of the district were injured, including four children of 1, 4, 12, 13 years old. As a result of the shelling, a civilian woman, a resident of the house, died. Her body was found on the 9th floor during search work.

In addition to corruption during the war, usurpation of power in Kiev, in Ukraine there is a national entertainment - shopping in supermarkets with increasing prices every month. Prices in this country against the backdrop of the low wages were always rising It was frustrating. Now this position distracts from the sounds of explosions
or alarm' signals. Although the dollar-to-local currency ratio has frozen at 1 : 40, rail ticket prices are rising, and so is fuel of all qualities. But every citizen who was interested in art before - exhibitions, concerts - can save on tickets: everything is closed four years.So, if your relatives or you are not dead, have not immigrated - boredom awaits you only at home (until you received the bill for utilities) or in a bomb shelter, - time to time, you can get away from the heavy thoughts at the gas station, in the supermarket or booking train' tickets.

Fourth Year of the War…
I’m referring to musicians, actors, or artists whose activities were halted by the pandemic, which was then followed by the war. The situation is especially difficult in the old capital of Ukraine, the intellectual center of the country, and in the border city of Kharkiv.
You know how talented Ukrainian artists can be, but the state provides no support for them. As you may be aware, this category of citizens is prohibited from leaving the country, just like other men.
Moreover, discussions about the war and the President’s travels overshadow the fact that the heart or culture of this country is under an unprecedented attack. And, brave soldiers are defending, among other things, this very culture. Simply pushing back the aggressor isn’t enough; we need to restore conditions for creativity, but none of us here dreams about that in the near future. The aid provided by international organizations to our state is regularly delayed by corrupt officials in Kyiv. And, since the beginning of the war, it has amounted to 60 euros per month. No one can survive on that amount here. Additionally, food prices have doubled, and in some cases, tripled. How do you like my little report?

Worthy with the decree of the Cabinet of Ministers, men aged 17 to 25 years will automatically be included in the military registration of conscripts
This applies in particular to those who apply for a domestic or foreign passport. If a man aged 18-25 years, not registered in the system "Amulet," apply for a passport, it will be issued only after the presentation of military registration documents.

Today, the enemy's plans for Volchansk are unchanged. This is a complete destruction of the city, especially the infrastructure and buildings. That is, the invaders continue to use scorched earth tactics. The enemy is trying to achieve this goal through massive aerial bombardments, as well as the use of artillery, which greatly complicates the work of the Ukrainian army. Despite this, its soldiers firmly hold positions and continue the effective defense of the city. Of course, due to the massive bombing and the use of artillery, Volchansk is extremely damaged. It is actually turned into our notorious Bakhmut and Avdiivka

Despite the stable difficult situation in the region, shelling and danger, the tragic event of May 25 - the shooting of a large supermarket together with visitors and employees here, citizens of the city shocked what happened in Kiev on July 8.The inventiveness of the killers is, in fact, boundless: these Russian «specialists» were able to bypass the most powerful in Ukraine antiaircraft defense and send missiles to the target. What are these objectives? Of course, residential, office buildings where ordinary citizens were. And, this time, the Kremlin’s leader outdid himself - the target of his attack became... children...sick children and their doctors! The details are well known to the world now. And, still, there are two questions: who exactly are those few the Russian military who followed orders in Kiev' attack? Names?Who were the pilots who sent the missiles to Kharkov in May this year? Names?
And finally, what is the UN, where the most destructive country on the planet is the interim chairman at the moment? What is that organization’s real name in New York?

As the alarm was about to stop, an explosion occurred, and a new alarm began to sound immediately. That's pretty much life in Kharkov today. Where was that explosion? I don't know now. It was all reminiscent of how the Pandemic of 2022 transitioned seamlessly into War 2022.
