00:00Yellow, like sunflowers turning towards the light.
00:05Blue, like a sky that refused to darken.
00:08Four years after Russia's full-scale invasion,
00:11Ukrainian scholars fill the Ilkham Theater in Tashkent.
00:15The exhibition Yellow and Blue, organized by EU delegation to Uzbekistan
00:19and the Ukrainian embassy, presents a different perspective on war,
00:23not through destruction, but through culture.
00:26This exhibition is about Ukraine, Ukrainian history, Ukrainian culture.
00:32And its message is that Ukraine, Ukrainian culture, the Ukrainian people are here to stay.
00:39So this shows the richness of Ukraine, the richness of Ukrainian culture,
00:43and the fact that Ukraine is something that we all have a great stake in.
00:49The stability of the world today directly depends on the outcome of the world for Ukraine's independence.
00:56We are defending not only our home, we are defending the democratic world.
01:02The cultural program extended beyond posters.
01:05Visitors were invited to a screening of Anton Ptushkin's documentary,
01:08Us, Our Pets, and the War, which follow soldiers and volunteers,
01:13Ukrainians and foreigners alike, who risk their lives to rescue animals affected by the conflict.
01:19Instead of battle scenes, the works focus on kitchens, balconies, and playgrounds,
01:33everyday space where life continues under strain.
01:36Through striking visual images, the posters tell a story of Ukraine's past and its future.
01:43Identity plays alongside hope, renewal, and the vision of peace.
01:48Each illustration reflects both pain and strength, loss and unity.
