[000:00:00;00] i wonder what the kids said first, the family was more positive about it though, the kids are still young enough to understand what i was actually going to do, i just told them i was going, my friends thought i crazy, and they tried to tell them that they should still think again, but i know that now they are proud of their father, what words did you choose to explain to them your choice, your decision? good question, actually i never told them i would be exactly at zero, they are still too young to to understand all this, i told them that i am going to help people, i think this is the best

decision, but you were not in the military? before that, i didn't know anything, how can you just take it and go? the first thing i did, i went to poland, in order to get basic knowledge, i went to school there, so after that i realized that i already have some knowledge, and i will not come to ukraine with such zero, i knew that i had knowledge and could share it in ukraine. you went to poland at your own expense and studied at your own expense, that truth? yes, that's right, i went there and had to pay my own money. i know that for this you sold everything you had to go and study. so it's true. i didn't make any money at all from the beginning. but what motivated you at the time when

we have people, some of whom, i know, go on a contract to earn money, legionnaires as well, some really want to fight for the independence of ukraine, what motivated you then? one simple answer, very simple, it's love, just love, after poland, you finished your courses there combat medic and already went to ukraine, the first days of the war, what was it like for you, you never saw it? but only in theory, and here you are, what city was it in the first place, and what happened there, how did you react to it in general, so i had no military experience, i had never been to war, everything was very- very new for me, and yes, but i had to start somehow, i was in

kupyansk, ugh, what was there, right? a military medic in the legion, and what happened there, well , just events, there were shellings, war, it’s close to the front, what actually happened there in those days, life there in kupyansk, actually, is the normal life of a soldier, we trained, we went on missions, we ate, rested, did everything we were told to do, the first mission, like was it for a man who had never fought, a first? mission, it sure must have been scary, of course i'm always afraid, i think it's very good to always have some fear, because when you have fear, you think twice before doing something, so that you don't do any rash actions, i always think twice, probably because i

was afraid really, yes, probably it. local people, you were there among them, you talked to them, how did they react to the presence of foreigners, how did you talk to them? yes, on the one hand i built some relationships with the locals, but on the other hand i sometimes tried not to talk too much with them because people are always curious, especially foreigners, they asked a lot of questions. and perhaps it was not possible to answer them, but yes, we built certain relationships there, mother katya, she is a special woman, she looked after me when i was in the sumo region for six months, she always looked after us, she washed my things, fed not only me, but also the whole squad, and this is my love,

the locals in general, they were very interested in us , of course, because we are foreigners, you know, before that, they had never seen foreigners before, and they always tried to ask what we were doing here , why we... came here, well, it was always very, very fun, so to speak, mother katya is, as i understand it, a woman who, with whom you befriended, helped us in some way, ms. kateryna, if you are watching the studio with patrick right now, he is sending you a big congratulations and thank you very much for what you did for them for their legion, and how did you get to know each other, yes, that is, she just sees, oh guys, they are communicating in english , the people there are not very, i understand, know the language and a foreign one, how did you communicate, how did you find any points at all? always here in ukraine, when i don't know, there is no one around who can translate, i use google translator,

it's my best move and it helps me, sometimes it works very well, sometimes it's just some very strange, funny translation , but somehow we get out of it, sumi and kupyansk, there you were engaged in that, trained soldiers, medics as well, taught and also performed missions, but after that you started the military departures are already zero, all the same, kupyansk, and the sums after the liberation, kupyansk were a little further from the front, how did you end up in the kherson direction and what was it like, what was there? i was invited to kherson by one of my friends who was already there... was and mostly we were looking for russian collaborators in kherson, this was our main task. i even know that, if we can talk about it, that your squad

somehow captured the russians? yes, we caught several in one mission. you know, i tried to look after them, take care of them as best as possible. because i think it's important to treat them with respect, and i truly believe that, next, let's pass them on the way we should have done it, and i believe that everyone should be treated with respect, i am interested in their reaction, because they are all scared there, that nato is fighting for ukraine and so on, and here they are actually see nato soldiers, well not nato soldiers, but... foreigners, they think, well , they think they're nato soldiers, how did they react, i think they were very scared, mostly they talked about how scared they were,

they were crying, and they were extremely scared because they were caught , they didn't ask who we were, you even have a state, ukrainian order for courage, is it for this case, or what did you get it for? it was given to me by another instructor, because we arrived in an unfamiliar country and we were helping the armed forces to know more about military medicine, to be able to give first aid, i think the battalion chief wanted to show that his appreciation for our work, because we've been doing it for a very long time and for sure, which is very good, i know that the beret in which you came, it is not just a military merchant, it can be purchased somewhere, but that it is issued for some merit? i bought it in a store, but no, i'm kidding, this beret

can be obtained, in the international legion, if you go through more than three military missions at zero, that's the minimum, so even then you can get it, huh. well, that's pretty cool, speaking of missions then, i think being a combat medic is a little bit harder than just being a fighter, because you're not only fighting, next to others with weapons, but you also have to follow everyone, help right away, and then also replace this person in the line-up for the task, tell me about your profession in general, what is it in general, what is its specialty? i am a military lifesaver, i am the first in charge on the front line, the most important thing is that we all are

we are at war, if someone is wounded, then i have to help that soldier, if possible, it's not always possible, but i have to do everything in my power to give that help. i have to weigh the whole situation, and every situation is different, but as soon as i hear that someone is wounded, i have to... right on the battlefield to go to that soldier and help him, and maybe there were some cases that you can talk about of course to tell, so there was one particular case, we arrived in our trenches, i think they started shooting from the very morning, i i remember well, and here they stopped, we don't know why, and we saw that the orcs were coming and we realized that the russians were very close and we... had to fight them, we did it for several

hours, we returned to our position, and when we got back to our position the tanks started shooting right at us, our point was blown up and one guy was badly wounded, he was covered with stones, he was in a godly state, i told the other guys that we had to get him, backed up until i'm getting ready to help, and that's how they got him, that was it hard, but we got him and i gave him first aid, but the most important thing was to give him help quickly and somehow run from there, because the tank kept shooting at us, i gave him first aid very, very quickly, we ran from there, and we moved to another position, and already there in another place. fleeing from the tanks' shots, i gave him more

help and thus i managed to save his life, but it was really under the bullets of the tanks, that is, you really save people's lives, that's great, but how an international legion is organized, what countries are represented there, and how do you communicate with each other, because everyone is completely different from different kuto. of the world, yes, the whole legion, the foreigners who come and join are, sweden, italy , france, germany, even from africa people come, many people come from south america, we have different divisions, for example, if a group of people only speaks spanish, they are in the same group, all the english speakers,

the english speaking group, the spanish speakers work in their group, english-speaking in their own, but still we all work together, all together, and you are subordinate to the armed forces, how is communication with the armed forces of ukraine, you have representatives of the command, of course, you do not make decisions there yourself, everything is subordinate to the headquarters , and how does it happen, that is, ukrainian commanders give... orders, right? yes, the teams, they are all ukrainians. yes, we obey in the ukrainian army, but still, we are a little different. and why completely different from the point of view of preparation, or why? i mean, i don't i know, like in other units, but the only thing that distinguishes us is, of course, language. but we all have

the same goal, which is to defeat the russians. when this goal is achieved, what will it give you and the other guys from the foreign battalion , we will win, we know that for sure, but what will it give, do we understand what it will give to us, ukrainians, to you? to be honest, i don't expect anything, i came, i came here , for love, as i said before, i didn't expect that i will get any medals, awards, any respect from people, we will get all this, i am very happy because of this, but i don't expect to receive anything from ukraine for my work, i want to talk about bakhmut, you were there, recently this summer, in this direction, it was the hottest spot, and it still is, one of the hottest spots on the front that is there did it happen at all?

people die, that's what happens, unfortunately , too much, i've never been in the heart of bahmut, i've been around, but even around, you can feel the fight, you can feel all the pain. it is a very strange energy that reaches everyone. is now called a city fortress, do you understand why? good question i'd say, i still think it looks like a lot of other places to me. people are different in different areas, you were in kherson, in bakhmut, in sumy, that is, it is the north, east, south, there are a lot of narratives by russians

that there are different people in ukraine, that very russian-minded people live in these regions, is it? heard yes i heard about it too, the more you go south the more you can meet pro-russian people, i never much concentrated on this, because it was not my task, the people with whom i worked in kherson, they were concentrated on this, but i always tried to concentrate only on my work, which is tactical medicine. i met many. people in the east of ukraine who spoke russian, but i did not meet those who wanted to become russians, if you understand what i mean, you learned from television what was happening in ukraine, when i decided to go here to defend our country, other swedes also

saw that's what attitude there is to this war, i i know that there are countries, unfortunately, in europe, where people some part supports russia, how sweden treats this war, the attitude of sweden, everyone wants to help, everyone wants to do something, even if it means literally collecting a few pennies there, some money, collecting clothes, a lot of things, personal assistance, state assistance, i am proud of my country for the way it helps ukraine. i am proud to be a swede, i really am, and so we thank the swedish people for welcoming the refugees, so much families there now remain in sweden, and thank you, of course, for the weapons and military

aid, but it is also very interesting to learn how sweden decided to join nato, you did it when the war in ukraine, the great war in ukraine began , and one of putin's narratives, he explained that he attacked ukraine because he was afraid that it would join nato. sweden is also close to russia, were you not afraid to do this, considering that this dictator may come to you? i think it was the right time to join, we talked about it for a long time. but people often were divided 50 by 50, some say yes, some say no, but we realized that this is just the right time , because something is changing, something is changing among the swedish people, more people wanted to join nato, and i think this is very important

in our time, and we know that now we are under protection, that if something happens to us, we should be protected, you are now in kyiv. and i know that you came to study further, that is, you understand that you have to go further, what kind of study is this, what are you discovering new things for yourself now? i study a little more with in medicine, i want to feel even more prepared when i go through the mission, i felt enough. myself, i know that i still have to study concretely, and my plan is not in kyiv, it is to visit, finish a few more schools, classes, and then return from the legion, i know that you have now started to fly, which

means that you have decided to and join the army of drones, we will see, let's see what will happen with this skill, i'm just a beginner. but it's very interesting, i'm doing well, i think it will be cool if i'm also a doctor and can to fly a drone i think it will be very useful i know so to bahmut now i want to go back because the story that struck me that says about you that you were born in a shirt and i know that you were on rotation a few days and flew to where you sleep, you can tell about it, yes it is true. yes, when i was on vacation, in a safe place, i received photos from my colleagues that showed my house and actually my bedroom. was crushed and i had goosebumps,

it was very difficult to receive such news. in that moment, it's, i don't know, it's probably you thanking god for taking you away from it, well, you just realize that if you were there, you wouldn't be there anymore, it was mixed feelings, of course i was very happy that i wasn't there, but i was angry, too, that i was n't there because i couldn't... my boys, it was very mixed feelings, but of course, i'm grateful every day that i survived and passed it, so you are still needed on this earth, and ukraine needs you in order to continue to protect, i know that by the way ukraine gave you something not only combat knowledge, skills, but also something more, i am talking about love. how did it happen, yes, i know that your girlfriend is now ukrainian

, yes she is ukrainian, i met her in lviv , five months ago, this is a wonderful trip, it is simply incredible, now there is an additional motivation to defend ukraine. now i am fighting not only for a free europe, but also for my family, like all ukrainians, for my ukrainian family. i know that it was an interesting acquaintance , that you were literally somewhere on the front line, nearby, almost in the trenches and you met on the internet, she was in telu, and you were just in okop and saw her, it is an interesting, rather romantic story, in my opinion. yes, i had special feelings. that it's really something special and after just a few days i realized that i had to run as fast as i could, so i did, i

ran as soon as i could, i came to her, now you're getting ready, after you graduate , you know that you will go to see the children, i know that not only your children are waiting for you, but also their whole school. interesting story, my daughter, she went to the first grade, and you can believe it or not, but she a ukrainian teacher at school and my daughter told this teacher a story about her father and they decided to make a certain calendar and now in the calendar they write how many days are left before her father comes and the ukrainian soldier comes to town, they are waiting for me , yes, that is, you prepare... you will come, you will tell about ukraine , about what is happening, they talk a lot at school about this war, and of course, if they

invite me to tell my stories about ukraine, i will gladly come and will do it class, that is, even the children there really know about what is happening, 100%, 100%, great, because now, including russian propaganda all over the world, it is telling that all ukrainians have already forgotten about you in europe, in america, and the more scandinavian countries are there, why do they need ukraine anyway? yes of course everyone follows the news, everyone wants to help, to be honest, i think that whoever listens to russian propaganda, nobody in europe listens to it, i really wish that was true, patrick, you are in any

moment, as a foreigner, you can be released and leave, and at least once during this time, a year and a half that you have been serving, there were such thoughts that, what am i doing here, i will go to my home and work quietly there, but no, i spent my life in sweden, i i turned my profession around, now this is my profession and i do it. and we thank you for this, for your position, and it is not for nothing that even the colors of our flags are the same in sweden and in ukraine. i hope that next time we will meet, when we will celebrate our common victory, democratic forces, european, progressive over these inhumans who attacked us. thank you

for coming. and we have just but we live in different. chevorons approaching victory, our
