Ukraine: ‘Thanks Italy’, the ministers of Kiev one month after the war

Ukraine looks to Italy and says “thank you”. The race of generosity of the Italians towards refugees, refugees, civilians, especially the weakest, women, children, fragile under enemy fire is strongly felt by Kiev. The Ukrainian government witnessed this on several occasions one month after the Russian invasion, through its ministers consulted by the Adnkronos, on the front line to react, rescue, rebuild and relaunch their country. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Italian republic, the Draghi government, the minister Messa, all of you, for the absolute support and help to Ukraine in this difficult time”, says the Ukrainian Minister of Education, Serhiy Schkarlet, recounting the tragedy of children who, together with their families, were forced to evacuate to the west and abroad. A generation to which Schkarlet as well as an education wishes to guarantee the “possibility of returning home. And rebuilding the new Ukraine. I am grateful to the EU and to the countries that will guarantee the right to free study for Ukrainian students and their parents to work as Italy, Poland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Czech Republic, Greece, Germany, France and others!. “We asked for support from the Council of Ministers of the European Union for the initiative to open Ukrainian schools, which guarantee children the possibility of continuing to follow the Ukrainian study program. We already know that in many countries there are integration programs “, he said. Ed” I talked about the possibility of creating a program or a foundation to support the reconstruction of schools and the functioning of the educational process. “” I have already talked about ours. online platform that is always available even outside the borders of Ukraine – he continues – I would like you to evaluate the possibility of supporting its development, providing subsidies that favor the inclusion of teaching material for elementary school, which is currently missing. And also that grants are made available for training courses and teaching materials to support teachers, for example with regard to the psychological work to be done with children experiencing war. Finally, we ask to promote our platform among the members of the Ukrainian diaspora in your country, so that Ukrainian children have continuous access to education “. Heartfelt appeal by the Deputy Minister of Health, Iryna Mykychak, but heartfelt gratitude towards our country. : “do everything possible to stop this war! We thank you for all the help that comes from Italy and other countries. And for the welcome offered to the Ukrainians displaced by the country “. Mykychak goes into the specifics of a” dramatic situation especially in the occupied territories: We are trying to evacuate as many people as possible through the humanitarian corridors. Starting with the chronically ill, who cannot be adequately treated there; we try to transport everyone away by train, car … But I would like to point out that even in the occupied areas the hospitals work, the doctors try to do what they can. Hospitals, university professors and medical students, volunteers have mobilized … an international consortium has taken the field “.” However, there are many cities, like Mariupol, where we have no access and it is impossible to use the corridors. There, the humanitarian catastrophe is immense. For the victims of the bombings, for chronic patients, for example on hemodialysis or oncology, who risk dying if not supported by treatment. It is essential – please – close the sky of Ukraine or the number of people who have to leave the country will increase, it being understood that we are obviously grateful to the host countries. “What do you need most?” Emergency kit for the injured and medicine for the chronically ill. We need chemotherapy preparations, anti-coagulants, immuno-suppressants, drugs for thyroid patients, for cardiovascular patients, for people undergoing transplants. We need those medicines that are not produced in Ukraine, especially since the situation is changing rapidly. “Without borders, support for the Ukrainian cyber army of specialists from all over the world. One of the protagonists of this war, Mykhailo, speaks with pride and satisfaction. Fedorov, minister of technological innovation and digital transition and also deputy minister of Ukraine, who announced: “There are more than 300 thousand cyber specialists in the Ukrainian Іt army. Their number grows every day. It includes Ukrainian and foreign specialists: start-up founders, creatives and communications workers. “Mykhailo Fedorov, Minister of Technological Innovation and Digital Transition and also Deputy Minister of Ukraine, 31, at the helm of a digital transition to vanguard in the world, he continues: “Anyone can become a volunteer in our community. Just subscribe to the Telegram channel of the project and receive the assignments. Since the beginning of the war we have carried out more than 330 Ddos attacks (Distributed denial of service – ed) with success. “Against whom?” Against the web resources of the corporations Gazprom, Lukoil, the banks Sberbank, Vtb, Gasprombank, and state web portals of the Kremlin, of the Parliament. At the moment I cannot reveal any other details. After the victory, yes “, he replies. Which areas are most in difficulty?” We have problems with the network mostly in the areas of active fighting. In the Kyiv region in such cities as Irpin, Bucha, Hostomel, Vorsel. The connection is not always stable in the regions of Kharkiv, Kherson, Cernihiv, Melitopil. And now, as never before, it is important to call loved ones but it is often impossible to reach those in these areas “, he replies.” At the moment, all telephone operators and their respective state institutions work together with a single goal: to ensure that the mobile network and fixed work best. I would like to say that our specialists in repairing damaged infrastructure are real heroes. They work and reactivate the networks very quickly. They often act under enemy fire, and die in the field, doing their job. “How much is the damage to the country’s digital infrastructure?” For now, I would not like to assess the amount of damage because the war is not over yet. The enemy destroys our telecommunications infrastructure in a targeted manner to leave Ukrainian territory without connection, without mobile coverage, without radio and telecommunications. “But” unprecedented, Ukraine has been supplied with Starlink essential for the functioning of thousands terminals in places where there are connection problems; of great help for hospitals, for public infrastructure in critical condition, for companies operating in Information Technology, “he recalls. His tweet on Starlink to Musk has enabled hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to connect via satellite. What projects do you have with Elon Musk in the future? “Actually we were already in contact with Musk because of the possible projects in common. That is why his team reacted so quickly and effectively to our request for Starlink. We are grateful to Elon Musk for his great support for Ukraine not only in words but also in actions. We hope – he hopes – to achieve everything we talked about before the war “. (By Roberta Lanzara)
