we as a state were not able to protect our territory for a certain time and our citizens lived there under conditions of occupation, this is very relevant now for the kherson zaporizhzhia regions, and therefore we are now telling all these people who will do everything simply not to approach , as they say, and er and physically and and and if figuratively to the occupation authorities, remain loyal to the ukrainian state and everything will be fine with you, thank you for coming to us, we cheer for the victory of ukraine and the de-occupation of crimea, thank you thank you, an air alert has been announced in most regions of ukraine now, so if you hear us and you live in such areas as zhytomyr, vinnytsia, kyiv, cherkasy, chernihiv, sumy, poltava , kirovohrad, mykolayiv, dnipropetrovsk

, zaporizhia, donetsk, luhansk, and kharkiv, please ignore the safety rules, go to the warehouse , take care this is the path chosen by the band antitila in 2014, the musicians were engaged in volunteering, they say there was an understanding that a great war was inevitable the men signed up for the teroboron even before february 24, in an interview with the public, antitila told why they became paramedics, how they manage to combine service and creativity, and whether they will record a duet with those performers who only recently refused to tour in russia. olena rymovska met with musicians at the kyiv train station the antitila band is almost in full composition. thank you very much for taking the time. we are recording this interview at the station, and i think it is important to explain to our viewers why yes yes, that is, you were here a-a

record, but now you are now on the road again. yes, you are serving in kharkiv oblast, yes, in kharkiv oblast, in the north, you joined the ranks of the teroborona. it will be a long story, it will be very interesting. you joined the teroboron in full since 2014, when the war in donbas began, when the russians annexed crimea. defense medicines and other very interesting things that allowed the ukrainian armed forces to effectively carry out combat tasks and boarded

minibuses directly delivered it to the front line at zero. we understood even then that we needed to prepare ah ah ah next. when the verkhovna rada voted on a bill that allowed civilians like us to become reservists of the territorial defense forces, we decided to take advantage of this opportunity because this bill allowed us, without breaking away from our civilian work, from the stage, from recording songs, from shooting video clips, to become a reserve of the territorial defense forces in order to defend the country in the event of large-scale hostilities. we took advantage of this opportunity and even

more, we decided to mount if this mechanism is also for other people to make certain videos, shoot videos in which they told how easy it is, let's say , to go through certain things that need to be done, which papers to collect and go through certain bureaucratic procedures it is obvious that there is a way, but that it is normal that you can pass it, pass certificates there, take certificates, pass certain tests, etc. yes, surgeon, the war started here, when the war started, and you didn’t have the feeling that maybe you were in a hurry with your decision, you weren’t afraid that your work in terrodefense in the conditions of the war would be a little different than it would have been by

february 24, we predicted that we were preparing for this we we felt the only question was when it would start in a month. one and a half months before that, we talked about it among ourselves, we made certain purchases due to the possible start of hostilities, we talked with our wives, adjusted them , predicted how each of our families would act. well , at 6:30 or at at half past five in the morning they woke each other up and after sending our children and wives to the border, there was a safe bridge, they came to the troops, there was no need to speak again, it seems to me that the situation was special, they joined the teroboron in full force. and you had in this regard, the consensus is that no one is forced to enter such a remark to make such a remark.

i serhiy vusyk and dmytro zholud joined the teroboron. he is not with us now, but dmytro vodovozov and mykhailo cherkov. they started volunteering, that is, they supported us and helped not only us, but also many others units and civilians from the very first day of the war and now they continue not to get out of the east of the hotspots, doing everything the same as we did in 2014, as a volunteer we wanted to leave at least someone on duty in antibodies, the results. we left, dmytro, and went to dobrobat, and he did not tell anyone from us, a volunteer, a volunteer, then, oh, i am already a volunteer. you are those of you who joined and are now serving in the kharkiv region. you are paramedics, you provide medical assistance. how did it happen? what exactly do you do in the service in the 14th year, when you were engaged in the delivery

of medical supplies to other protective equipment on the front line, you had to know and be able to use it when what you take to the boys on the spot, to explain to them, to check the quality of what you you buy in order to check the quality, well, in any case, you have to understand, learn yourself , this is the way we came, and the theoretical courses are certain practical ones, we joined later, having this experience, as experts in the expert group could, well, now there is one who does exactly what she checks there the folds of the flow are being discussed there, which was composed so that it would be better to look there. i am all about the preparation of the

regulatory framework of some kind, well, by the way, the ministry of defense ministry of defense ministry of defense, that is, in principle, you already knew in advance what you will be doing in the service, it all happened on the 24th, when we were standing in line to receive weapons, russia had already attacked ukraine, and it was at this moment. well, we saw our friends in 2015, who know what knowledge we possess, and they immediately invited us to their part how are you people well, creative people of art are coping with this new role of yours, in particular with what you see as medics in the war, we are used to approaching everything we do in a sensible and thorough manner and any activity is a collective activity it has certain principles regardless of whether you

on the stage, are you some others and according to stasi, we are coping. i want to believe that it is good about the psychological aspect and what to tell here, we all understand what war is and we also encountered a lot of things, the first month we did not even tell our wives, but unfortunately we had to see a lot and take participation in such things in which you never even guessed that you er could participate with us on the third third or fourth night there has already been a fight or $1,200. one killed not two two two or three hundred it would be a lie if we say that it is not stressful and that it was not scary, all the full spectrum of emotions that a person can experience in such a situation. we passed easier for us simply because we are a team, we are friends, and in

some such situations, we quickly orient ourselves, adapt to a proxy war - it is very important in the first days of all developed paranoia, the presence of others among unit, because people were walking in huge queues, volunteers were standing in queues, everyone who wanted to serve in the armed forces, they went all the way to the street, there were some 100 meters long, and among the human people there were those who just wanted to dive inside there, well, not only in our unit, there were many such cases when you enter the team. when you have familiar people, friends , who can you somehow fall for there? well , first of all, it is safer now, he lives with it after three months of the war, when it has already been checked by battle and everyone passed certain difficulties passed certain filtering someone is screened out someone was written now

our units are already here so proven everyone knows each other what is breathing who found capable you manage to engage in creativity in parallel with this you released a joint track with the british artist ed sheeran, you sang with bon in the subway, yes, creativity also continues somehow, and i have a question. yes, do you somehow manage to realize that you, as artists, are also creating something cool in these conditions, do you manage to communicate with cool people in this or do you manage to catch this moment ? we approach this in an absolutely utilitarian way, i will tell you with an example: when anya dolynska wrote that

shir is doing a charity concert in burma, how later it turned out that it was not he who was doing it, but he was simply participating, and how later the organizers, after the organizers refused us to participate in it charity concert, because we are military, a very important nuance of antibodies remained in kyiv in full. that is, we were not afraid. and in principle, we had the opportunity to be in kyiv in any place and play this tv, we knew it, we understood it and that's why we offered it in the end. when we were refused, then the mass, well, it just started. a flurry of different journalistic requests, we gave interviews, just a huge number of er foreign changes, you can simply call any mass media world and it chose us, the interview, we talked, it happened between the tasks

, uh, squatting sideways, uh, whatever the zoom was , and we went out to our place a lot. yes, we came to the positions, including them, and they constantly asked me what about you refused and you want to do a joint song is possible, like there will be some kind of collaboration , there is everywhere, he answered, see antibodies, never, well, if you say so, they didn’t force anyone to collaborate, and this offer to make a joint song came from them. it was their decision, their desire , and of course we took advantage of it, do we understand how important it is, of course, we understand more than that, we created these lyrics in the middle of our work, we agreed with our friends about shooting a video clip, we were looking for options to record it, why, because any such thing is, er, counter propaganda, russian, we

we come in from the other side, we come in from the cultural side, miha-ha, we hack this whole armor, which is pree e traditional information sources in russian, we hack it like this through a social network, a viral video, through a video clip in which we do not tell much, but simply show through artistic forms and empathically force people suffer, and because of this empathy, people perceive the ukrainian war more deeply, they begin to help them, it becomes well, what you can't close your eyes to is a lump in the throat. it's the same story with the bonus. called in 12 hours, roughly speaking well, not in 12 well, maybe 20 hours before this concert, he himself called the phone number in front of them, asked us if it was possible to give the phone number to kharkiv, they were standing near the bus, yes, it sounds fantastic, and even more so,

how well-educated a person is yes, well, everyone understands that everyone wants it to have his phone number there, i don't know such people who, but he calls and asks how much it is, so if there was some etiquette, yes, some kind of eye, this is very important, i always focus on this , and when bono called and invited, of course we are not we could refuse, we understood, he even said that you can say anything you want next to me, you can turn to anyone and say anything and you will be heard . so he's like there everything will fly by my face well , you understand that, and he said prepare there what 's important i'll be there later to see mariupol azovstal and in general, i turned to the europeans about that, your principles - this was an advertising campaign, do you really believe they have chi it's just like, well, it's like a window, a window behind which there is nothing. that's what i'm leading to, that 's what any informational work that we conduct, we

conduct it every day, hundreds of interviews already. we do this and every time we send the right messages there to the european audience to the american audience, especially to the european audience to the french to the germans to the austrians to the italians . creativity, there are no such horseshoes, you know, you went to kyiv, you are free, the first business trip you received, and in general, we applied for it precisely because of the voucher, they gave us a day off, now it is for shooting a video for marathons there, in honor of the celebration of kyiv day, we applied for the second time. one more day is new for you, that’s it for the first time in 90 days of the war,

yesterday, for the first time, we got to our days, we cleaned up , they are understanding, moreover, i don’t want to make a lot of trouble there now, but we are really doing work in the battalion on february 24, and some of your colleagues in show business, for the first time in these 8 years they declared such a public patriotic position, although in previous years they could go to russia, they could cooperate with the russians anticipating your questions, let the questions be many things i cannot tell you in public on camera and never will regarding certain political issues, predictions regarding this war, regarding how i would act as the head of the army and the country, and

regarding what i think about these colleagues, it is not ethical, plus you know it like yeast in er, i don’t know in a barrel of sugar let the people and the people give an assessment to everyone who behaved in this war, it is possible that the antibodies made a mistake in something. maybe someone will give us a bad assessment, but the attitude towards this is only from the 14th year, i have been asked about this since the 14th, and what do you think about the fact that someone is going on tour, do you see specific names, i'm just curious, how do you, as some people in the 14th year, support the army, so support people on these sections, our task is to set an example, we are a role model, we are just as clearly aware of this for many people who are behind us they watch, they follow, who consciously or unconsciously persecute our model of behavior, what

we do, we believe in it, we are sure of it and we believe that it is right. the phrase trike on my shoes put on my shoes will pass my way and then here, that's why i always try to publicly refrain from condemning or evaluating such actions, but not publicly. you are unlikely to record any music at all, write music now, well, in parallel with what is happening, how much strength and inspiration do i have for the song

shiran and the chorus? inspiring them , many of them evoke emotions so well, uh, half uh, uh, bitter, so maybe sometimes disturbing for you, what you feel these three months, it is described by some words from your songs, there is some uh, let's say, a motive that you remember well, how many 70 songs or how many half of them can describe everything that happens in people's lives . because our songs are about people's lives, i can say about the spectrum of emotions that you feel . i felt that i was in principle capable of such hatred towards the russian people, who bear collective responsibility for everything that was done here in ukraine

. they are resisting how people are united how much the people in their mass became as a whole in the opposition to the er racists . i went to kyiv to an apartment. i've been walking for a day and a half now, i can't find a place. the house is empty. the flowerpots have been brought up. there is no noise. everything is cleaned up to the point. mother-in-law. thank you.

all the chaos he's annoying but you can't live without him anymore we miss our relatives and loved ones i'm sure it's not just my emotion, there are many different emotions and they are all in our songs that are only worth in books, for example, it was written in advance, but it is relevant, it is relevant it's always my catch the moment hello, they all dress for this situation for this war thank you very much for taking the time take care of yourself we're rooting for you, of course, for everything to be successful as it should be i want to say and assure everyone e-e ukraine for sure will win not a single second, not a single moment, the antibodies had no doubts about this, no doubts, only confidence that yes, we need to pass this test, but we will emerge victorious from this war, moreover, we will emerge much stronger, and it is the

ukrainians who will set the trends and new leitmotifs of world coexistence of the future world order believe me, history is being made here, world history at this moment in this country, which fate once chose for us with a vision that we were born here, and honestly i will say that i am sure that many people thought, heard, was born here, why was he here, why somewhere, not in poland, not in america, what is here behind all this whirlwind of political events, social things, and it turns out that all of us were chosen to be born here in order to create our own history create history by your example, show how a dragon sucks and that in fact the dragon is not scary and inside it is a bunch of hymns we can probably
