[000:00:00;00] this is losing my own. i'm ukrainian. i really felt that you came back, not yet. i thought that i would feel it somewhere in a day or two, but enough time has passed. not much time has passed. probably the only thing i started to fear was the morning, because the first few days i woke up and the girl who was with me i was and did not understand that where i was, we comforted each other in our own way, we were in ukraine and i still say hello to my friends, i write good morning in ukraine, i put

blue-yellow hearts or a flag , hello something sweet cocoa cocoa, he was really missed , especially for those who her constantly drink, you yourself understand how it is. we dreamed that we would go out and drink a latte at the first gas station. you poured two glasses so that we could take a sip. it was so bad . no you go out into the void, we thought where will we get money, where will we spend the night and where will we get clean things, we probably won’t let such things in such an appearance in our store and here uh, we go out and understand how ukraine meets its own as ukraine i was waiting for my how she was waiting for azov. and in general, for all military personnel, they give you a lot of clothes

, they feed you, you don’t understand at all when you walked in the same clothes all this time, and then you think, god , why do i have two sweaters, and then three, and then even more ukraine incredibly welcomes its own how we sang to them how many people ran to us say that we are brothers, it was tsar's immediately i write that we are waiting for the whole of azov yes-yes-yes we are at home class but it seems to me that realization will not come until all our our azov all our ukrainian defenders will not return because while they are there while i am there because what i don't do is when i wake up in a normal

bed from some kind words, i understand what they wake up from when i brush my teeth, wash myself, get dressed, i constantly think about what they are doing at this moment, what they are eating, what they are wearing what language do they hear, you can't return from captivity. while they are there, my andriy about the war, he, uh, started talking about marriage, i told andryusha, let me grow some hair , because i had shoulder-length hair to make a good hairstyle for the wedding, then for the rest in we didn't have water to wash my head, and i made such a drastic decision, i shaved my hair, i was bald, my name is andriy, he was in other positions, he ran to me, saw me and said that means no, well, you changed your mind about getting married and why did you collect your hair

well, he laughed so much because i know that he loved me and i love me in any form , it doesn't matter what i looked like ot and then the hair gradually grew back ah and when it had already grown back vita, with whom i was in the same cell, started braiding ot for me braid on today she also entangled me, we still can't part, and literally for a second this evening before release, we sat in the cell . i say i'll go out and buy a comb and she says that's right, the plans for 34 years are so global when we arrived, they met us my parents are andrii's parents they are called their parents because they really are and we then opened the bag that my mother had packed for me and there was this comb of my dreams and it was so beautiful with such

multi-colored teeth brothers it became so dear to me for well these three months, she is so close, well, what kind of older sister can you get so close to, not with a lot of people . she is extremely open, sincere, the sun, thank you a million, that means there is no such thing from you. arrivals, and just like that, he amused me a lot because these stories of his, first of all , i don’t know you will say, how can something not be told? well, i'll start with my favorite story about orestes - it's for example, how an air bomb fell on him three times, but three times he actually survived three times and they

told him each time i remember that he was like, well you or you have to be evicted from the bastion because it falls on you or vice versa because you survive if i remember the third time and here he runs here and there the strap of the armor is torn in short he runs lava i say where are you from he says iron i say i did not pray for you because i did not know that you were there and then he tells me i'm running and these enlightening-healing eyes rockets are flying everything is flying and i'm running - i say and think that i would like to be filmed from the side in such a cinematic way as the last one, it's funny, but when we have, well, our very favorite word was air, yes, this is planned an airstrike is his time he came to my

bed, sat down, gave me headphones, said i should go, made a selection of music for an air strike, let me listen to it, it was like this when i was insulted as a child, because i had a difficult childhood, i imagined that god is sitting on such a big chair, yes , he has such a wide robe falls from that chair and the chair is completely closed and i am so small, small, i crawl under that chair and go to sleep or from above and no one can hurt me, i actually did not have a childhood, i lost my parents early enough i was raised by my grandmother and grandfather, and somehow all my life it turned out that one of my family members was very sick, my grandfather then died , there were not enough funds , of course i did not have enough warmth and love, because my grandmother

helped my grandfather, helped my father well, then while i was in captivity she is gone although she is my mother, she is gone in mariupol, in occupied mariupol. she is the only person who is, well, really my family, who did not wait for me. when i was driving, i really hoped that she was still waiting for me. her birthday will be on the fourth of may, i really hoped that i would make it in time, my grandmother shared her wisdom with me, she was an incredibly strong woman, she lost two sons, military pilots, who have a father and his brother, but she continued to live for me . she always taught me to look good.

i wouldn't have been because she always behaved like that herself, she is a teacher, she taught at school for more than 40 years and we joked a little with the girl with whom we were together in the cell, she said, "you'll come out, grandma will meet you and tell you" that even prison is unfriendly, don't dye your hair, this gray hair says she will fight with you again, i grew up under a miner's farm, it was a ukrainian-speaking village in donbas, but it was ukrainian-speaking well, i say it was because it has been under occupation for a long time, i don't think people are allowed to speak ukrainian there common ukrainian traditions, ukrainian songs , a completely ukrainian-speaking school, i spoke ukrainian, then i taught in mariupol , i was a teacher for 6 years in ukrainian

, of course, and my family spoke in ukrainian and what do you have left in mariupol? that's all to list everything that i regret. it's about the typewriter he gave me. he called me from work. and i was at home and he says you were good. saint nicholas had something for you. bring i say i had to i look under the pillow i look there is no i don’t i say well look somewhere around the house i’m looking for nothing there i say look better under the christmas tree look i’m looking under the christmas tree and there ’s a typewriter it’s white there it’s called princess and the layout is in ukrainian and a ribbon

with which they print red and black well, how can you even imagine that a person can come up with such a gift that she hides it like that, thinks of what else to look for well, childhood is really childhood, that's what i would like to take away things that by the way , it doesn't matter to me, it matters, this, this , filling the soul with his warmth, it's impossible return, but now there are andriy's parents who love me infinitely and i have never felt such love and this is strange for me and it seems that i do not deserve it and i would really like to change places so that they could love he is alive, but it is as it is and i am just now trying

to live on with the tattoo when i got it. oh, this is about all of azovstali. this is about our steel men who were on the rest . this is about premiazov and about girls and about boys. break that's why i stuffed it right away, or it's what i feel inside , it's cool, i want to go to the sea , i want to go to the sea , and not just any sea, to my family. you can watch it alone i loved the white house there. i really liked the lighthouse, just like this place, sitting next to it, you will come to mariupol. what do you think

is a difficult question for me right now? if you ask me now, i would say no , because it is so white that i cannot imagine surviving once again this city that took everyone away from me, this city first took away my parents and their graves there, and then it gave me andrii. i was so happy that i wanted to be with him. although he is from kyiv, to stay and live there, i persuaded him and talked to him about it. then this city took my andrii from me, my grandmother, my friends, not the city, of course not the city, people took them away, but you understand what i'm talking about emotionally, i just can't imagine that i would go there but then again, there are graves there, and there is

a place in the world where you wanted to be in the world probably what well, i wanted to be a prisoner in ukraine, i am in ukraine , this is the place in the world where i want to be, their cities took away their relatives, stole their childhood, and then forcibly took ukrainian children to the aggressor country, they were sure of their own cardlessness, but the international criminal court

in gaza issued a warrant for the arrest of the dictator, by what order did they deport our children and this is only the beginning of a historic decision from which historical responsibility will begin. i am grateful to everyone in the world who helps us fight for justice. all those guilty of crimes against ukraine will be punished. a year ago, russia unleashed a great war in ukraine, as well as for hundreds of ukrainian sportsmen, the choice was obvious for me to compete for the victory of my native country on the front line instead of the tennis court digging instead of the racket in my hands weapons instead windown to a hotter point indomitable bakhmut, on the other hand, russian belarusian athletes support russia's aggression against ukraine, remain silent and continue to compete in a neutral status and do not give app www - this is a shameful decision hammock

generally considers the admission of these athletes to the olympics under a neutral flag however, we all know that he directed by ukrainian blood, i urge you to support ukraine on the sports front when you do everything possible to exclude russian and belarusian athletes from all international competitions and olympiano to the terrorists at the sports venue, the silence knocks you down. tell me honestly, how are we all going through things right now , so that they don't get into the head, that's why it happens that the chest feels like it's on fire and it feels like there's nothing to breathe, this body responds to heavy emotions, sadness, despair , anger, mental health program, how are you

tells how to cope with such feelings, go to how are you.com to learn the stories of despair and hope, the stories of families that were divided by a full-scale war. i am katya osadcha and this is a project to find my own. the position was doing morning exercise and shouting glory to ukraine on this story nobody can do anything about today's search story especially because for the first time its hero is not a citizen of ukraine, this is a story about a spaniard who left a settled life on the mediterranean coast to help ukrainians, now he needs salvation

, he loved ukraine he loved ukrainians felt that his help, which he brought to the people, was really needed. tetyana turned to our team with great hope. above all, she dreams of returning her beloved with whom she was separated by the war, this is 75-year-old mariano garcía kalatayut, or simply mario, as his friends call him. how did he end up in ukraine at all, as he himself explained, this is a story from the times of franco, when many spanish families were subjected to repression and their children were transported to the territory of ukraine in odessa by steamboats and so when such a big trouble happened to us, the war

in donbas and crimea, the annexation of the crimean territory , he came here to help, so to speak , pay off a debt, at that time he was 68 years old , he worked in the city hall, and he was discharged early pension well, actually, he came to volunteer. mario not only organized the collection of humanitarian aid for ukrainians, but also personally drove it all the way to the residents of donbass . he was absolutely not afraid of anything. the first time ukraine met him with a severe frost -28 he went to donbass because of his light spanish clothes because he had i had a little frostbite, so the doctors told me there and there, thanks to god , they came out, but all the same, mario, he did not leave his volunteer activities. mario comes from

a small town called claret near the valencia in spain, his adult sons now live in ukraine with his husband, he settled in kherson there and met tatiana, love broke out almost immediately, so that you can understand the difference between us, 37 years, he won me over with his lust for life, because he was very delicate when they give you flowers they sing karaoke of spanish songs to you in such a gentle voice, you know. we decided very quickly that we will live together, we had a lot of plans that canceled everything. here is this war, the offensive of russian troops on kherson began from the first days of a full-scale the invasion, the invaders broke through from the side of the annexed crimea, shelled the chornobayivka airport with battles, captured the kakhovka hydroelectric power plant, took control of the antonov bridge, with

the beginning of the full-scale invasion, mario played a very important role because he is a foreigner and could tell the ground media what exactly was happening in the city on march 2 , russian tanks and armored personnel carriers they had already been in kherson and resisted. it was a shock for the townspeople, it was impossible to understand that this is really happening right here, and she just entered this memorial that was not destroyed and was already leaving citizens in front of the building of the regional state administration with yellow and blue flags. and here is the rally. you have no idea what kind of rise it was. the capture of the regional center was symbolic for the russians

and should have been in all their propaganda media, but they even filmed a video of the supposedly joyful meeting of the so-called russian world with the occupiers . they did not succeed in kherson until the end , they resisted the invaders under the muzzles of machine guns , they went to the main square of the regional center with ukrainian flags, here is mario in the first row , well, it was very easy to spot him from here because that he stood and shouted insulting words at the russians, he could, as a foreigner, leave ukraine. of course he could . spain was organizing the evacuation of its citizens. i really wanted him to go.

situations, he also came under fire and maybe he has this sense of danger, it somehow faded a little, became dulled. mario felt that it was becoming more and more dangerous in the city, that is why he asked tatyana to stay at home. and he himself continued to go to pro-ukrainian rallies, did he guess what trap awaits him ahead of him. he was very visible among these rallies and the conversation is very loud. he was a very bright character and was followed again, but even the fact that he was being followed did not stop mario . he could not put up with what was happening in ukraine, in kherson was

silent terror, when no one was shot at, nothing exploded, but people were simply kidnapped on the streets, and unfortunately this happened and tatyana's beloved disappeared with him last year on march 19. he was just returning from a pro-ukrainian rally, managed to call the woman and say that he was already near the house, but since then he never showed up. i immediately realized what had happened to him and the trouble. i began to panic. imagine my despair when a person was stolen and i can't even report it anywhere because neither the landline nor the mobile internet is working. tatyana immediately understood that the husband was detained by the russians the military confirmed this in a few days, and one of the local journalists , who was also imprisoned by the occupiers and released, he heard the spanish language in captivity , he heard how he was addressed by mario, too

. they were shocked by him there because, well, i already said that mario is a very desperate person and very brave. when he was captured, he did morning exercises and shouted glory to ukraine , being in captivity, can you imagine only recently, tetiana found out that the occupiers subjected mario to cruel torture, tried in vain to withdraw money from his payment card, which had already been blocked by the bank on this day, how was the man kidnapped, they definitely hoped to get him out of captivity, the embassy of spain , whose citizen mario is, or the state authorities of that country, would help, the woman turned to everywhere, but it's useless, because there is no official confirmation that her lover marian garcia is being beaten in russian polonia, the spanish treat it like this, but we have no evidence

that he is in captivity, well, their hands are tied by and large, they cannot officially put pressure on the russian side in any way to he was released with a request to comment on the situation with the abduction of a spaniard by the occupiers . our team appealed to the ministry of foreign affairs as well as to the spanish embassy in ukraine, but both of these agencies refused to give an interview. here's what on the journalistic inquiry was answered by the ministry of foreign affairs. international measures with this issue are carried out in each specific case in close cooperation with other state bodies of executive power, as well as institutions and organizations involved in this. and this is the answer to our team from the embassy of spain. garcía kalatayuda however

, we unfortunately reject the offer to comment on your program on how to act if the occupiers have kidnapped a citizen of another country , while the state authorities are silent on the answer to this the question is asked by the coordinator of the center for civil liberties, nataliya eshchuk. it is absolutely necessary to notify the un working group on enforced disappearances that such an incident has occurred, and i know that this has already been done. the ministry of foreign affairs , the consulate, and the embassy must be contacted. they must act in the interests of their citizens. but then why is mariana still not at liberty, because more than a year has passed since his abduction, here the responsibility of the country

of which this person is a citizen, spain would have to take care of its citizen practically. this country should negotiate with russia for the release of this person. well, we really hope that they will be included in this process now and, after all, in the possibility of mario's release, then he will return home . tatyana, who has not seen for more than a year beloved mario, he is sure he is on the territory of the temporarily occupied crimea. the woman was first informed about this by a stranger on the network, the man was afraid to name himself, but gave many details that he could only learn from mario in personal messages, he wrote me a lot

something that really confirmed his words, he says, well, how is the dog? the occupiers let him go but the man was also afraid to testify about this to the relevant authorities , most likely he assessed the risks and stopped making contact tatyana managed to find out in the pre-trial detention center where mario is kept, are mostly ukrainian civilians or russian prisoners hiding the worst that no one came out of there. thus, through an official exchange, who could confirm that he is in this prison? and this former prisoner, what did he manage to tell you, mario , he wasn't very heavy. and now i still lose weight. i can't even imagine what from he remained there. and i also learned that

he had a heart attack in the summer. i am very worried about his psychological state. i am very worried already when we were preparing this episode for broadcast. russia did confirm that it is detaining mario. the prosecutor's office of the black sea fleet, a citizen of spain and garcía kalat, judas-mariano, was placed in the penal system , where he is being held until now. check whether the measures against him have not been completed. tatiana believes that spreading the story about her beloved mario will help save him. we hope that the fate of the imprisoned spaniard will finally be interested spanish human rights defenders, as well as international humanitarian organizations, and soon mario, who loves ukraine so much and does not tolerate injustice, will be at svobo.
