Turn around and take your sunglasses off.
Or nobody can recognize you.
Alright tell me where you’re going to war.
Speak up, so we can hear you.
I´m going to fight for Ukraine.
For the homeland.
I think he’s too young...
... to protect Ukraine.
So, the photo mode on.
Don't open it, that uses up power.
Just one photo.
Don't take a photo.
Why?
How do you take photos with it?
You can choose "photo mode".
So, it’s just taking photos now?
Yes, with you in the background.
Turn it off, it's wasting the battery.
Just one.
What does it peep?
Photo.
That's on a totally different film.
On a memory card.
Let me have it back, before you break it.
I’m just drinking water. rink water.
What are you doing?
There is no hole.
To family.
He's still a kid. He shouldn't be going there.
So, why are you so keen to go there?
I asked him that as well.
Is there nothing for you to do here?
My whole family is military.
So what?
Military family.
Don't take it the wrong way.
But do you really think you’re going there
to change something?
I understand patriotism,
but look how patriotism turned out.
You will live the rest of your life missing an arm or a leg.
It's my choice.
- Eh, what? - It's my personal choice.
Do you have any kids?
Not yet.
You should first father a child and then maybe go there.
Exactly.
So that they would worry about me, why?
Don't you want to leave anything of yourself behind?
Something to live on after you're gone.
Otherwise, they just bury you.
They better bury me.
Is life so bad, or what?
I prayed to god. I knew I would survive
because someone was waiting for me.
If someone’s waiting for you everything will be fine.
So everything will be alright.
Good.
To those who are no longer with us.
I don't have any friends left, they all died.
This is for them.
They fought. Let's remember them.
Let them rest in peace.
They watch over us from heaven.
They can see that we remember them.
Glory to Ukraine.
Glory to the heroes.
We walked through the snow.
I had german boots,
I took them from a dead german.
We were surrounded and then the shooting started.
Mines exploded around us.
Bullets were flying.
And then a sniper started shooting at us.
My friend climbed up a pine to see where the sniper was.
I asked him: ''Why are you climbing up there?
You are going to get shot.''
I hid behind a car.
So, he climbed and climbed and then fell.
He split his head open.
So beautiful. It's a shame to eat it.

Are you scared to go to war?
Make sure you come back alive.
