Odesa Mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov has recently ordered an aerial video survey of the site for further planning and ordering of a memorial project in honor of the city's citizens killed in the war with Russia.

Each week, Intent.Insight looks at one issue that worries Ukrainians and tackles topical issues and tries to solve specific problems, for example, the live episode on July 15 was devoted to discussing the problems of volunteer recreation.

The August 12 episode, which was the first after a short break, featured Ihor Koval, secretary of the Odesa City Council. On July 8, host Maria Lytianska talked to Vadym Drumov, CEO and co-founder of Hillel IT School. Together they were looking for answers to the following questions: how to bring IT people back to Ukraine? Is IT education promising here and now? What should modern employees and businessmen do to keep up with the times?
