Ukraine on Fire 2

For each of us, the word "War" has always been associated with history, the past, what we have heard but never seen, something distant and vague. It was a word that did not evoke any feelings in us only understanding the wrongness and inhumanity of the process itself. But unfortunately now it is not just something ephemeral and distant, it is our reality in which we must survive.

Not all the destruction, injuries and deaths we face everywhere are in our heads now. People who are forced to leave their homes, families for safety have lost not so much space and things they left, as a sense of security and comfort.

This film tells our story, we are all eyewitnesses of these events. I hope it will allow viewers from other countries to understand us Ukrainians at least a little. And we will remember it for a long time.

Mini-series are aimed to give a glimpse into the horrific events currently unfolding in Ukraine because of the Russian war against Ukraine and Ukrainian people. The mini-series are a mixture of documentary footage framed with a number of artistic details, fotos, short comments and special sound effects. I was personally a little disappointed by the length of the episodes and wished that they show more dynamic, answer the question. According to the producer, this length is intentional, and the series are in fact aimed to provoke, the incompleteness is an appeal to the audience to enduce a quest for more. Russian propaganda and disinformation have long affected the public opinion of the west. Ukrainian artists are fighting this war with their weapons - and these mini-series are a great contribution to this fight to shed the light on the real events and horrors happening now in Ukraine, and to show the true spirit of courageous Ukrainian people and their unbroken will for freedom.

This mini-series helps understand the horror of the Russian aggression against Ukraine. It uses real footage of bombings, destruction and other horrors of the war, putting them into the context.

The episodes show Chernobyl, Babi Yar, Irpin, other places and people living, surviving and dying in the largest war Europe has seen since 1940s.

Ukrainians and good people around the world are doing everything they can to stop Russia's agression in Ukraine and the Russian army's atrocities. This short movie series is another great contribution to the effort. Each episode is only one minute long, thus not requiring a big time commitment. The episodes are not easy to watch, but neither is the real war and all the pain and suffering that Ukrainian people experience due to imperial ideas of one ruthless monster. Thank you to the movie director for sharing it with the world and making the world aware and involved.

Depicts both the horrific nature of the Russian aggression and the pride and honor of the defenders of the Ukrainian homeland. A necessary watch for anyone trying to truly understand the impacts of Putin's barbarism and megalomaniacal ego.
