In the "Naskrut" program, host Sergiy Sternenko engaged in a deep conversation with renowned stand-up comedian Anton Tymoshenko. Their discussion covered how humor, charity tours, stand-up auctions, and support for the Armed Forces interweave in modern Ukraine, as well as their impressions of recent mass protests.
A significant part of the talk focused on charity fundraising for the defense forces. Organizers not only entertain but also hold auctions and prize draws, including knives and other items, to fund drones and equipment for the front. Tymoshenko described his visits to over 30 European cities, holding charity concerts and auctions, having raised tens of millions of hryvnias for the Ukrainian military.
The recent protests in Kyiv and other regions, triggered by attempts to change anti-corruption legislation, were also discussed. The guests emphasized the importance of civic engagement and dialogue with authorities, highlighting the creativity and motivation of the young people who took to the streets.
Another important segment debunked conspiracies about the protests and reviewed the specifics of Ukrainian stand-up, protest culture, social media, and volunteering during wartime. The guests concluded by urging support for the army through donations and stressed that security and democracy must remain top priorities for all Ukrainians.
