And where is the military objective?

You say you only bash military ones. Is the RSA also a military objective?

They write that many are wounded, perhaps dead.

There was supposed to be a meeting of all the leaders of the region.

Were they?...

It was canceled at the last moment.

The control room.

The 17.10 brigade, I'm listening.

But we are going to the RSA.

Okay. Okay.

Petrovych, turn the car. Another missile landing at Teatralna.

There may be people under the rubble.

So, what about the RSA? There are also people there.

There are already many cars there. They will manage without us. Let's go.

Hold on to me.

Be careful! Look out!

Let us help you.

Wait, Olena, according to the protocol, we have to wait until

the emergency services take the wounded to us.

Help!

While we are waiting here someone is dying.

Take it.

OK, come on.

Let's go upstairs.

- Olenka, be careful. - God! I'm okay.

- Help... - There.

Help...

Help...

Help...

- Help... - Over here.

Help...

Help...

- How are you? - Fine.

My arm!

It seems that his arm is broken.

- Do you feel dizzy? - No.

- Can you sit down? - Yes, I can.

Let's try to sit down.

Be careful. Yeah

I'm holding you.

To hell with that hand.

My wife...

She was here. We have to find her.

Natalia!

- Natalia! - Calm down.

Please, I'm begging you.

We will definitely find your wife. I promise you. Fine?

Go with him to the 17th hospital, put him in a polytrauma unit,

then come back for me.

- OK. Can you walk? - I can.

- Lean on me. - Carefully!

Be careful. Be careful!

I'm begging you, find my wife, Natalia.

Nadia will find her. Petrovych!

I am begging you. Natalia.

Yes, slowly, slowly.

Good.

Oleh!

And where is Nadia?

There are other wounded.

- Nadia told us to go and then come back. - We can't according to the protocol.

Nadia is our protocol now. Let's go.

Help!

Help!

Oleh! Help!

Wait. Wait a little.

I will try now...

Help.

Wait.

Be patient, hold on a bit. Hey!

Somebody! Here's a woman under the rubble. Come here!

Help.

I'm coming.

Wait a little. Come here, from this side.

- Come on. - Yes.

Get up. Come on, come on, come on.

A little more! Come on, come on, come on.

- Ready. - Pasha?

Oh, hi! What a surprise!

Wait a little bit. We'll help you. Yeah...

Can you get up? Let's try.

I can't! My back hurts!

Don't move. Is your car free?

Yes. I'll bring the spinal board.

My husband, Oleh. My husband...

Calm down. He is already being taken to the hospital.

Everything will be fine with him.

Don't worry.

Thank God. Thank God.

Hold on.

Tolia, help us.

- Take it. - Wait.

Come on. Yeah.

So, are you going with us?

No, I'll wait for my brigade.

There are problems with connection.

Maybe you'd better go with us?

No, they have to come back here for me.

Are we going or telling tales?

We're going, Tolia, sit down.

- And where can I find you? - The fourth department.

Well, see you.

Nadia, hello.

Pasha?

What are you doing here?

Well, I told you I would find you.

- Hello. - Hello.

Well... It's so strange... We hadn't seen each other for so long

and met under such circumstances.

Well, yes, but these circumstances have changed a lot.

You seemed to be in Slovakia.

Yes, I was, I worked as a paramedic in an ambulance.

A paramedic? You wanted to be a veterinarian.

Yeah, I did.

And you dreamed of being a fashion designer.

Oh, you remember that... I was 12.

I was small, naive,

and even believed that you would protect me.

Listen, it was not my decision to move.

That's what my parents decided.

- Aha. - I'm sorry that I disappeared then.

I understand, you were in love with me.

I was in love with you?

Pasha, there was nothing of the kind! I'm telling you!

OK, as you wish.

You'd better tell me how did you end up here?

How... I arrived when it all started.

I understood that I should be here.

You haven't changed at all.

And you have changed. You've become even more beautiful.

Oh, thank you.

- But I'm not talking about appearance. - So, about what?

Well, when we were little, you had to help someone all the time.

I still remember how you tried

to save the neighbor's St. Bernard

who fell into a sinkhole. Do you remember?

Oh, it was so heavy.

And I often remember how we stretched that cable

between our balconies and passed different things with its help.

Yes, it happened.

Do you remember how you tried to pass me flowers?

Well, yes, they got stuck. So what?

But what a cool rain of petals there was then!

Luxurious. Luxurious.

- So how are you now? - Well...

Now I'm here. And then I'll see.

I am very glad to see you.

Me too. Very...

Very...

Sorry, I have to answer.

Yes, of course.

Hello, my love. Well, how are you there?

How am I? I've finished my shift.

Roma, I thought we are at quarrel.

Well, we quarreled a little. It happens with anyone.

War, emotions...

And a cup of coffee, please.

Roma, where are you?

In Poland so far.

And how did you leave the country?

Well, don't ask. It's not a telephone conversation.

Nadia, I'm waiting for you here. And from here...

Do you remember how we dreamed about Portugal?

Roma, I can't think about a vacation right now.

Vacation? We can live there now!

There are a lot of volunteers in Europe. Everyone is trying to help Ukrainians,

so I'd say, the war opened up new opportunities for us.

There would be no happiness, but misfortune helped.

Roma, I can't go.

I have a job. No one will let me go.

Drop it! All issues can be resolved.

Just imagine how you and I will walk around Lisbon.

Roma, you don't understand me!

I have to be here!

I am a paramedic.

Do you understand that there are no prospects in Ukraine now?

What? I do not understand...

What do you not understand? You have to naff from there.

That's why, come to me

and we will try to be happy.

Happy?

Okay, Roma, I'll think about it.

Well, think. Just don't drag it out.

You know, Europe is not rubber.

The early bird gets the worm.

Hello, mom.

Hello.

Do you wanna eat?

No, thanks, mom. I am very tired.

OK.

Mom, can you imagine, I've met Pavlo today?

Which Pavlo?

Well, our neighbor from 70th flat.

Bondarenko? Isn't he abroad?

He came back.

Came back for what?

To help.

And how can he help us?

Can he close the sky?

Mom, what are you saying?

He also works as a paramedic at the ambulance.

Good boy. And what about Roma? Has he called?

Yes, he has.

Roma is now in Poland.

He's tried to convince me to go to him.

I haven't answered him yet.

Nadiusha...

If you decide to go, I will not only understand you, but also support you.

Because you are my child.

I want you to be happy, to be safe.

And you? Will you go with me?

Where will I go?

Roma did not invite me. I will be redundant there.

Mom, why redundant?

There is a pile of volunteers now. They help everyone.

I can still help myself.

I will come to you on vacation in the summer.

Maybe the war will be over by that time.

God grant.

Nadia, think about it.

Mom!

Mom, can you hear?

Mom!

Mom, do you hear me?

Mom!

- Mommy, may I sleep with you? - Come.

Come here, honey.

My dear.

Nadia.

Roma, what are you doing here?

I've come for you.

- But I can't go with you. - Why?

Because people need help.

Are you the only paramedic in the whole city?

If everyone thinks like that, who will stay here?

Roma?

Nadia, Nadiusha, wake up.

Have you seen something in a dream?

Yeah, I have.

It's time to work.

Mom, do you think we should go?

You're not asking me about work, are you?

Go to Roma.

Nadia, it's up to you.

I will be glad.

I don't know, mom.

Do you remember, we dreamed of Portugal?

Drop it! All issues can be resolved.

Do you understand that there are no prospects in Ukraine now?

Lady!

Buses don't run. There is a war...

- What? - I say, buses don't run.

Oh, hello, little girl.

Good morning, Petrovych.

The weather is good today.

You take a sip of coffee, look at the sky,

and it seems like there's no war.

My daughter, again.

Why don't you pick up the phone? Are you at a quarrel?

She, as usual, will persuade me to drop

everything here and go to the West.

And what did I forget there?

Are your relatives there?

No. They are already in Germany.

They seem to have settled.

They say, the locals help so much.

That's good. They will be fine there.

And I will be fine here.

Nadia, the chief is looking for you.

Well, Petrovych, I have to go.

Hello, have you called me?

Yes, Andriychenko, come in.

I will emphasize.

I'm doing this for my nephew, not for you.

What? I don't really understand what you are talking about.

I will write a statement on your behalf that you are pregnant

and you will go on a maternity leave.

You will only have to sign.

And what is it for?

Nadia, don't be stupid.

To let you go to Roman.

Yes, but I'm not pregnant.

And thank God.

Will they just take my word for it? Some certificates are needed for this...

The certificate is already my trouble.

You have a call.

When you return, sign it, and get out of here.

Olenka, I'm fine.

We've even eaten soup today.

And I heard you've been under fire today and there were two missile landings.

Two? I thought only one.

Andriusha...

Honey, everything is fine.

Yes, the orcs shell us heavily.

But we answer equally.

How do you stand it?

Well, this is our land. The Russians will still run away.

- Take care of yourself, honey. - Of course.

- I love you. - I love you too.

He wants to calm me down.

So, calm down.

Your nerves won't help neither you nor him now.

Yes, of course.

I definitely can't let myself lose temper right now.

You're right.

Mom, the ambulance has already arrived. Wait.

Don't worry, don't worry. Everything will be fine.

Help! Help!

And what happened?

What happened to your mom? Tell us.

We came to the house,

we had lived here before.

And she saw it all.

She fell, fainted and stopped moving.

And you? Do you feel any pain?

No, I'm fine. Is my mother alive?

- Nadia, is she alive? - Yes, I feel her pulse.

Sunny, please, stay away.

Take it.

Don't worry, everything will be fine.

- Yes, wait a minute. - Yes.

- And... - Up!

Carefully.

Will everything be okay with her?

Pressure 120 over 80.

Oh, that's not bad. Olena, give me a glucometer.

Hey, sunny, just a second.

Sugar is high, above 32.

We'll take her to the intensive care unit. Petrovych, to the intensive care unit!

Can I help?

Bunny, now you can only pray for your mother.

I don't know any prayers.

It is not necessary.

You just need the words to come from your heart.

And God will hear you.

Firstly, I asked that there would be no war.

Then I asked that nothing would happen to my mother.

But it all happened.

So I no longer believe in God.

Sunny, but you can't live without hope either.

I haven't said it.

I believe her.

She promised that she would not leave us, and that mom would live.

- Careful! - Sorry.

Lord, it's you! Do you recognize me?

You brought me to this hospital.

I recognize you. And why are you on feet?

You have a concussion and broken ribs.

Well, the concussion was not confirmed, and the ribs... Well, I can endure it.

You have no idea how grateful I am to you.

- For what? - Well, for advice.

Look, just like you advised,

I joined the volunteers.

Now we deliver food to hospitals.

- So I am very grateful to you. - You're welcome.

I was glad to see you. Take care.

You too.

Please, wait.

Can you also give me some advice?

Just choose: yes or no.

And that's all? What kind of yes or no?

Doesn't matter. Just choose.

Well, if you're asking, probably, no.

That's what I thought. Thank you.

- Have a nice day. - You too.

May I enter?

Yes, come in, Andriychenko. I'm already waiting for you.

Sign and you can gather your things.

What are you doing?

I will not go anywhere.

Listen, don't bother me.

- It's my decision. - Are you sick?

And about what's happening right now...

Our colleague Vika Kvitkova will tell us right now, live.

Vika, what's going on?

- Take it. - Thank you. Did you cook it yourself?

My mother did.

- Do you want some? - No, no, eat. Eat, son, eat.

Thank you, Marichko. I want to say that

this day for Kharkiv residents started at five in the morning.

I woke up from loud explosions,

the house shook, the windows shook.

I didn't know what it was, nothing was visible from the window.

That is, we did not see any visible explosions.

What I can say now...

- Look what I have. - Thank you.

Just what he need to prescind.

Can I read it aloud to him?

My children went abroad, and I miss them very much.

Yes, of course. Of course.

Listen. So...

Once upon a time, there was a king in one kingdom,

who loved to dress well so much that he spent

all his money on beautiful clothes.

He did not worry about his soldiers,

was not interested in theater,

and went out for walks

only to show off his new outfits.

Olena, we have a call.

Fine.

Well, son, be here. Be here. Do not go anywhere alone. OK?

- Good. See you, bunny. - I will be here.

The blast wave has destroyed an apartment.

There is a man and a woman. The man is paralyzed.

OK. Let's go.

Andriychenko.

Andriychenko, I will not offer you help again.

Sorry, but we're in a hurry.

What's wrong with you?

Roma works his ass off for you in Poland.

Works his ass off? Well, medicine is not bad in Poland.

Why are you so cocky?

I'm from Saltivka.

Let's go.

Are you okay?

Yes. Please, faster! There is a wounded person in the house.

Petrovych, the board.

Wait, Nadia, SES hasn't arrived yet.

To hell with them. Let's go!

Please, faster!

- Show me where to go. - Here.

Be careful.

Be careful, Olena.

Be careful. Okay...

Pasha.

I tried to call someone. But there was no one.

I couldn't clear it myself.

The wounds are superficial.

He has a pulse. He is breathing.

He is unconscious.

It may be a brain injury.

We need to put him on the board.

- Take out the neck collar. - Wait.

- Just a moment. - Faster!

Pasha... Pasha, hang on.

We will help you now.

- Roma... - Are you in your right mind?

Don't you dare raise your voice at me.

You know, Nadia, it's too much.

What are you doing? Everything is over between us.

Everything was over between us when you left the country.

Don't tell me that!

I have already done for you more than it was necessary.

Roma, I congratulate you. And I wish you good luck in Portugal.

Cissy.

What are you doing? Are you not going?

No, mom, I'm not going.

Nadia, I'm begging you. Think twice.

Mom, I have already thought.

Nadiusha, I'm begging you.

Well, I will feel calmer. I will know that you are safe.

- I will calmly go to work. - Mom!

I think about it every day. I swear.

Mom, I'm scared. I am very scared.

I don't know how to explain it to you.

I just feel like I'm supposed to be here.

You are scared because you are still a child.

You have your whole life ahead of you. I'm begging you. Please, go!

Mom! I will not go anywhere!

Mommy...

God, I'm so sick of it!

Maybe we'd better go to the shelter?

No, mom. I don't have the strength to go anywhere at all.

We're following the rule of two walls.

And I am not able to go to the shelter now.

Fine. Then we'll sit here.

Then they'll give the all-clear, and we will go to work.

We'll go to work. Yes.

We live in such a difficult time, kitty.

The twentieth day of war...

Remember how they said that we had

to hold out for a week?

Yes. I was thinking then: how long it is, a whole week.

And I read Sadovyi's interview,

he says that all this will last until the end of summer.

Maybe in Lviv it would...

But it will be over by May, 9. You'll see.

Anyway, it's a very long time.

Long? Some man from NATO said that all this would last for years.

Max, come on, don't overdo it.

I don't even want to think about it.

I wish it would be faster.

"An explosion at the square of the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred."

Let's go, Olena.

Oh, and us too.

I hope they all die. Come on, let's go.

- I'm a boob. - What's wrong, Petrovych?

I have no idea where is that Square of the Heroes.

It is Rudneva Square.

Who was bothered by the old name?

I was bothered. It should have been renamed a long time ago.

Why?

- Do you know who Rudnev is? - No.

He is the one who brought the Bolsheviks to Kharkiv 100 years ago

and ordered to shoot the barracks with the captured Ukrainians.

Really? I didn't know.

I thought he was some kind of writer.

Uh-huh, writer.

Just imagine that now someone will think of naming a street

after the pilot who has dropped bombs on us today.

Okay, okay. I got it.

Oh no, girls, I won't go further.

Take it.

Let's go.

Come on, faster. Come on, come here.

Girls, come here.

Faster, please.

Give me your board.

Wait here.

As soon as we carry out the wounded, go immediately.

We can help.

- Don't waste time, it's dangerous here. - What do you mean?

In half an hour after the first raid,

the enemy plane goes on a second circle

to finish off the wounded, doctors and guards.

No one should be here in 15 minutes.

- They are so smart... - It's a military ambulance.

They were prepared for this, unlike us.

Wait. Need help?

- Yes, I'm listening. - Hi, it's me.

Pasha, it's you! Are you in hospital? How are you?

I've been signed out. Listen, are you on "the Heroes" now?

- Yes, we are... - Get out of there now.

What? Why?

My team is nearby.

There is a very strong smell of gas.

It can explode any moment.

We can't go. We have to wait for our wounded.

- How are you? - Fine.

- Can you breathe? - Yes.

Are you in one piece, nothing broken?

Come on, breathe, breathe.

Top floor, check.

- Now we can go. - I will call back.

Okay, okay.

Everything will be fine, don't worry.

Oh, God...

Be careful. How are you? Petrovych, let's go, quickly.

Do you feel dizzy?

Yeah. Birthday.

Vira Ivanivna, are you going?

- Everyone is waiting for you. - I'm already going, I'm going.

You could start without me.

How could we start without you, if you have the envelope with the gift?

Exactly. The envelope.

The envelope...

- Do you have? Would you like something? - The cake's tasty.

- Orange, tangerine? - Thank you.

- Champagne? - Sorry there's only one bottle.

Now you can't buy alcohol anywhere.

I hardly got it from my neighbor.

Moreover, we all have just finished the shift. But, if you are against it...

No, leave it.

It's just a little bit strange.

There is a war outside, and we have champagne

as we had it before, as if life goes on.

Well, ambulance exists to make life go on.

That's true. That's true.

You know how to say it, Petrovych.

It is not for nothing that you are an old-timer here.

Well, I'm certainly not young.

That's the truth. You are a symbol for us.

We can always lean on you.

By the way, not only in terms of work, but also regarding your human qualities.

Petrovych, we're so young. The whole life is ahead of us.

I wish you happiness, health, love, kindness, warmth, light

and for this nightmare to end as soon as possible.

Thank you. Thanks everyone.

Well, little girl, starting the next shift you'll have a new driver.

Why?

Well, I have an anniversary. I turned 60.

So what, Petrovych? Can't you work anymore?

Now I can go to my family in Germany.

This is very good, Petrovych.

Little girl, promise me to hold on here.

I promise.

Petrovych, this is for you from our team.

Happy anniversary.

- To Petrovych! - To Petrovych!

- Thank you. - Be happy and healthy.

Thank you. I wish you were healthy!

- And you. - Come on.

And all of us.

- Hello. - Pasha, hello.

Would you mind if I accompany you?

- I won't mind. - Great.

- Well, tell me... - What exactly?

Where did you get my number?

Well, it's simple.

While I was in the hospital, your colleagues came,

and I asked them.

And you know, I still haven't thanked you for saving me.

What are you talking about?

This is my job. And, thank God, you are alive.

- Well, yes. And also I wrote a statement. - What statement?

From the next shift I will work with you.

What? Why?

What does it mean, why? I want to be closer to you.

- To me? - Yes.

Will the girl who was with you not mind?

My sister will always support me.

- Sister? - Yes.

I thought you were the only child in the family.

Yes, I am. She is a cousin.

Hello.

So what about the apartment? Where will you live now?

Well, the apartment is under renovation.

My sister went to her parents, to the West...

And you?

Well, I was in the hospital. And today, I will probably crash in the subway.

In the subway?

Yes. Something like an underground town is arranged there.

I'll nestle somewhere.

Drop it! No subway.

Stay with me and my mother.

Yes, we don't have a place to sleep, you will sleep on the floor.

Well, the floor is not so bad.

I will be able to protect you, as I promised in childhood.

Fine.
