[000:00:00;00] er, don't film the war in ukraine , why am i asking about this because what did you see? our editors asked us if we wanted to continue working . why do you want us to go ? it was related to security issues . that we saw everything that happened in mariupol, it's not the other way around pushes to do more to work further because probably

like the doctors who left the hospital and like many residents of mariupol who left but could not stay but may have left relatives or loved ones there and we also felt that we did not do enough we also felt that we should have stayed for longer, of course, you wanted to do more not only about mariupol, but about what is happening in ukraine further, but part of my and from that moment, part of my work now is to make a film, show it to international audiences, make it so that more people saw those people who don't even remember the news. maybe they fell out of the ukrainian context or were tired or never

heard anything even about ukraine. there are still such people and the fact that the film got into the fact that 20 days of mariupoli got into sundance that they got a prize it is called not a prize considering such likes it is odinswards that is it is called it is simply from the audience it is considered the most important prize for such films as 20 days of mariupol because it means that the audience considers it important and it means that the international audience accepts it mstislava i thank you very much for this conversation thank you for your work and i sincerely hope that you and i will soon have this opportunity to work in

the already liberated mariupol

yes yes yes yes oh go to our girls there i will give you this great, girls. we think for a long time about the fact that i'm so enough . yes, oh, oh, i have really big wings. you see, this is ours . previously, we had a painting from the petrykiv painting. well, it's just gorgeous. i want to. i'll show you, come on, we already had a petrykiv painting and i'm really not home she brought me jewelry. look, i painted it very nicely. this will all be at the fair. well, we are just adding to this shelf, and new craftsmen are bringing new

, uh, their products, but all the money from this shelf goes to the armed forces of ukraine and to the bohuslav volunteer headquarters. here we even have one. we have put boxes here. people will donate who wants to help with the development of the workshop and for the time being for the bohuslav voluntary staff . what would it be like if it were evenly distributed and fair ? who wants to sit here, give this one , she will be the master. - classes to do with you too yes yes, show me like an angel or what to do there. and i am this one. and i will go to katya. what do i need to weave , uh, these will be wings? can you add some other way to the crimea if i want to pull it out? a little

, yes, yes, yes, not much, and arguments you can buy well, yeah, roll it up and that's it nastenka smi, we gather here in the workshop so that people don't relax , they realized that we need to help our fighters for communication so that we win as soon as possible, then everything was in my carpets here at my mother's place

, everything was hung up here, then the living room there so far there was nothing, but there were so many larger and smaller carpets . well, i didn't count them anymore. maybe 15-16 km were left from my eyes. only three. well, it was necessary because my son had already gone to war and i had to help . somehow i decided that if the glory of god does not arrive here, and who knows what will happen later, it is better to take the carpets that are already there, sell them and help the boys to the front , my son said that they need a car because they

are all bad with small wheels you need a high one , because there are all these things in hubs and mud and it's hard to drive on a dirt road, i'm taking photos of the carpet right off the wall, it started with this rug and everyone on facebook is taking photos, selling, taking photos, selling. that's how i collected all this money. and many more people trusted and donated to me , someone from abroad, and from ukraine, i love them very, very much i am grateful that they helped so much, because then i was so scared , well, very much. i realized that if i actively help , my soul is somehow easier because this feeling of guilt that everything is bad for them there and like what was done in buch in irpen, that's it horror but here we are calm and

somehow there is such a feeling of this guilt that we have here, well, thank god, everything is calm, it was really tormenting, but olenka , yes, yes, go already, and valya has already come, the craftsmen are already coming, they bought a car for free, two sat down, then one, er, nightstand which for surveillance, well, when at night, to watch, to protect the territory, then it turns out three thermal imagers . well, there is a lot more, all kinds of sleeping bags, all this bed is so good, one military boots, well, so much of everything, well, you can say a little, but

a little bit of everything, well, what it is very difficult there a that everything is fine with me, everything is warm here, and they have something to help me. well, i can't not help me then, it's so hard, but if i help , it becomes easier for me, like this, lay the tables, there are still kily mo dusya, oh, rejoice on earth, a son is born alive

and put on the speakers, look at the spring wheat, rejoice, oh, the son of god is happy, an angel was born, a little angel was born, a little angel was born at the christmas master class, everything happened like that, they sent the car, i'm looking at the carpets , i still have some left and i feel that i can help. for one they began to assemble a sight for another brigade, but it was a very sad period, and that was already the case. why was it that i had few people who could

donate to help, and for some reason carpets were not bought so actively, and it dragged on for a very long time, which had already begun hmm well, the rains have already started, they are already saying that the bus won't go there anymore, we need another car, ok then , just a little more and we'll buy a pickup, which we need, yes, it's been two weeks , a friend is calling, he says there is no one to collect it, that the guys were coming back, who were they collecting for the pickup the tasks were returning and they hit a mine hmm everything was completely blown away but thank god they are very wounded but alive they found the other brigade too eh come on then what do they need thermal imagers well then two thermal imagers good eh already ordered thermal imagers until they found

good ones thermal imagers are high-quality. to get them far away, here is exactly the moment when thermal imagers are brought to me in the evening. just at this moment of joy, my friend calls me. my friend says to val, there is no one to give the thermal imagers to. i haven't understood yet. uh, well, and then uh, how can’t you, who can’t, what can’t, i didn’t understand, i’m saying everything just like that, the thermal imagers brought everything, just like that, he says with joy, valya, the boys are gone , there’s no way, how

did i understand it? it's scary, but i invented this easier reproduction. so we can. let there be carpets, after all, you can also involve other craftsmen in such a matter . so that we can communicate together and create some new things together. to revive the eyes traditional crafts of boguslav so that if we hold master classes or fairs, people come, join our ukrainian culture, understand theirs, and realize that this is now extremely necessary , because russia wants to steal our culture, our history, and because of that it's as if it were our front, we have to preserve it and

that's what we're doing now, i've heard that my other women are engaged in other crafts and teach both children and adults, and it's so great because we're just uniting and making friends with one of us the goal is to win, and we continue to collect money, who can, how much, because now the winter is really hard somewhere, but all the same, we are getting stronger , which does not kill us, and we continue to move towards victory every day, with every second, we bought a doll-motanka, and it will be like this we have a gift of a talisman like this, there will be a motanochka with such beautiful ornaments, this is an author's work, you can't buy such a thing in a store , a plant like that doesn't stamp what you chose oh , bunny, only dad can't change money i

love a cool world, and in ukrainian, such a color and if my dad allows it, this is my hobby. my hobby is a little bit like the best birthday for me. if there is such a plan, i will tell the whole world in secret. i want to prepare a machine for weaving a carpet. there will be wins for several ornaments from different regions of ukraine in 7

km i want to make something like this, well, long, long, big. well, so that all the ornaments fit, well , i want to make something like this. we closed the sky, closed the sky, we asked europe, it didn't work out, and i imagined myself as a bird that covers, covers these our fighters , so that all the rockets, all these weapons, all these enemy weapons, so that they fly back there to protect our guys, guys, come home alive , healthy, whole and unharmed, and take care each of you is very important to us and tell us what you need help with, we will help

because you are very important to us to all of you hello february 16 is the day of the military journalist of ukraine i see the war from the other side video cameras, congratulations and thank you, thank you that since the first days of the war, you have been showing news from the front lines. now we are at the positions of our artillery, we received another gift . thank you

for exposing fakes. that is, it is very hot if people saw the truth, they neutralized the paratroopers and then the clean-up began, it is difficult and we know it, you are real heroes, we will defeat everyone and endure everything. thank you and take care . sincerely, the audience and the entire marathon team are united news the ukrainian air force is simply incredible in the fight against russia, so i have reason to believe that these talented men and women will be more than ready to accept the challenges of mastering the new system . transfer tanks to ukraine ukraine reminded the west that it would also like to receive western fighter jets

, the leadership of britain, the united states and germany have already stated that they are not considering such a step yet. do you consider it a realistic prospect that ukraine will receive these planes, i think it is realistic, moreover, it is extremely important because you cannot enter this war in one dimension , you need enough weapons to protect the tanks of the ground troops and the population, and not only now but also in the future as it's important to me i understand certain political challenges and i'm sure we'll discuss them further during the interview but i think it's possible and we should do it now let's talk about a specific type of western fighters that

ukraine could potentially get which of the fighters would be the most suitable for ukraine and why too self-confident if i was making this choice the choice would be for ukraine but if you look at the options then you need a lot of aircraft i recognized so it has a supply chain with a good industrial base that can continuously service the aircraft to you you need a model capable of performing as many tasks as possible, an aircraft that can perform air and air-to-ground tasks, as well as countering enemy air defense, in addition, you need planes which are relatively easy to learn to use with a good layout and systems that can be relatively quickly integrated into the air force. i think that the f-16 fighter best meets all these requirements. little by little and it does it well, such fighters are in service with many countries that can and do not

mind providing them to ukraine eh witch country is with bey will be key in making a decision , obviously since we are talking about the f16, then this the united states, but maybe some other countries, the first question is which countries are ready to provide aircraft, the good news is that in europe there are many fighters in 16 in service and over the next few years, some countries plan to replace them with the f-35, for example, that is, there will be many available aircraft and they will still be on the way, so the main question is whether these countries are ready to provide them potentially. this plane can be provided by others, i will not name them because i believe that the sooner there is a joint solution, the better, otherwise we single out some countries and then russia attacks them.

key role in this process they sell these planes giving where they can be sold later their voice is important the planes are equipped with technologies they want to protect after all it is an american plane with american support networks the plane manufacturing plant is in the us supply chains are also mostly concentrated in the us without american support in theory, everything would be possible. maybe, but of course. i think it is much more difficult. in the end, without american support, planes cannot be dispensed with. it is not necessary to deliver them from america. the process can be approved by america, but the planes can come from a third party, there may be such a way, again, you can remember how president biden said that the usa is not yet considering the transfer of fighter jets to ukraine, when

do you think this could happen, what are the prospects for ukraine here, the question is whether the usa will transfer ukraine's f16 to biden put it seems when he was going to board the helicopter he answered no but i took it to mean that specifically he wouldn't send planes i didn't take it to be decisive nothing that it couldn't be done in another way in my opinion, the challenge lies in the fact that countries such as the usa, great britain or germany remember the history of tanks, everyone is concerned about what can and cannot be done in order not to cross the so-called red line with russia , in order to prevent escalation, i do not think that a gradual approach should be used the buildup of armaments, joint efforts, these are airplanes, tanks , artillery, and others, and to provide part of it and not all of it is unfair, besides, all of this is intended for defensive purposes, to protect

ukraine, and not to attack russia as soon as possible people will realize this as soon as they stop perceiving it as the fact that it is alleged that nato provides planes and not a number of donor countries let nato members, the sooner we overcome the belief that there is some red line to allow russia to decide everything, the error of the question how long will it take ukrainian pilots to transfer from soviet fighter jet to the west, amen, meaning to proceed directly to the execution of combat tasks, first of all , allow me to express my admiration for the amazing work ukraine is doing, it defends itself and does not give in to the ukrainian the air force is simply incredible in the fight against russia, so it is my reason to assume that these talented men and women will be more than

ready to accept the challenges of mastering a new system, this system is in many ways different from the soviet equipment that they used before, but i have already worked with the ukrainians and i know that they learn tactics very quickly and understand the operation of the system fighters in particular the f-16 are designed for ease of use many of their systems are automated and very powerful an experienced military pilot could start using with such an aircraft, it will take a little longer for maintenance in 6-8 weeks, but you can help with maintenance remotely, and we could provide headsets for video communication with specialists who know the system and know how to correct errors, many such aircraft are repaired very easily, you do not need to mess with a wrench the key i am convinced that we can do it

in a few months, some people say that it will take 6 months to a year or more and use it as an excuse saying that we do not have enough time but after a whole year we could to do it twice already regarding the infrastructure from the summer strip, will we have enough time from the moment of the decision to provide the necessary infrastructure for example f16 is a valid question the design of the planes is quite complex but at the same time they are very durable if you use them in difficult conditions they will last longer than you think of course without infrastructure no take off requires a runway of a certain length and quality. i am not well versed in the ukrainian situation to

understand how easy it is. is it difficult to do it? but the planes are not too heavy, they do not need fancy runways, their lower part is a little narrower, so the surface of the runway must meet the requirements , but the ukrainians are fighting on their own land, so the weight of the plane, the fuel, or the range are less challenges than challenges from russia and how many ukraine could receive, for example, if there was a positive decision regarding the f16, how many such planes can actually be received, i think this figure is quite justified and such a number of planes will be found, managing a fleet of planes is not easy at the same time, all 200 aircraft are not in use, the aircraft must be serviced, each of them must be used in its own time, it is unlikely that all 200 will always be in good working order, some will need to be repaired , some will completely fail, but if

we think about the long-term perspective, of course , in the west, we all pray for peace and for ukraine to return all your territories, but you will probably have to defend your country against attempted aggression in the future, which is better, and i think such a number of planes would not be too much for ukraine even in peacetime. no speaking of the military, in my opinion, this is exactly what we should strive for in the long term, it depends on the ukrainians. how quickly they will be able to integrate 200 fighters into their air force. therefore, it will be a challenge, but 200 aircraft is quite a realistic number, if we remember the situation with western tanks, then ukraine will receive at least three types of tanks , abrams challenger and leopard, should ukraine follow this path with fighters , assuming there is no consolidated decision
