In many cities of Ukraine, at 9:00 a.m., during the national minute of silence, traffic and all activity stops so that everyone can honor the memory of the victims of Russian aggression.

Recently, the history of the Odesa "Minute of Silence" has also begun, so the live broadcast of Intent.Insight on April 22 was dedicated to this.

As of now, this is a weekly event where concerned citizens gather to honor the memory of all those who died as a result of Russian aggression and to remind others of the importance of memory. But the organizers hope that it will eventually grow in scale. We will talk about this initiative with the coordinators of the "Honor. 9:00." in Odesa, Anastasia Lukashuk and Oksana Shubinok, were interviewed by Valeriy Bolgan, editor-in-chief of Intent.
