🎥 Director of the film Mstislav Chernov:

This is the first "Oscar" in the history of Ukraine. It is an honor for me. But I'll probably be the first director on this stage to say I wish I'd never made this movie. If I could change it. So that Russia never attacks Ukraine, never occupies our cities. I would give everything so that Russia would not kill tens of thousands of my fellow Ukrainian citizens. I would like to see all the hostages released, all the soldiers defending their lands and all the civilians currently in their prisons. I can't change history. I can't change the past. But. All of us, all of us in this hall, the most talented people in the world, can make the truth prevail. And the people of Mariupol and those who gave their lives will never be forgotten. Because cinema creates memories. And memories form history. Thank you all. Thank you Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine!
*currently in their prisons released.

I hope this documentary will soon be shown again - in The Hague! ⚖️

Documentary Film: 20 Days in Mariupol

An AP team of Ukrainian journalists trapped in the besieged city of Mariupol struggle to continue their work documenting atrocities of the Russian invasion.

As the only international reporters who remain in the city, they capture what later become defining images of the war: dying children, mass graves, the bombing of a maternity hospital, and more.

After nearly a decade covering international conflicts, including the Russia-Ukraine war, for The Associated Press, 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL is Mstyslav Chernov’s first feature film. The film draws on Chernov’s daily news dispatches and personal footage of his own country at war. It offers a vivid, harrowing account of civilians caught in the siege, as well as a window into what it’s like to report from a conflict zone, and the
impact of such journalism around the globe.

Note: Behind the film remains another crucial thing: the AP group recorded what was happening in Mariupol for the first 20 days. But it got worse later. It became scarier. The city was under siege for 86 days, and the Russian army turned it into a gigantic mass grave. The number of casualties in Mariupol is in the tens of thousands. But this is not in the film.

ℹ️ Germany has promised to provide Ukraine with about 8 billion euros for armaments this year, and in recent weeks Mr. Scholz has repeatedly convinced his European partners of the need for an equally significant increase in aid.

ℹ️ Germany became the second country after the USA in terms of the amount of military aid provided to Ukraine. She also urged France to step up its efforts in recent months and urged it to be transparent about the extent of its support.

💬 We are pleased to see that France is thinking about how it can help Ukraine more, but if I can give them one piece of advice, what is needed now is to deliver the ammunition and tanks that Ukraine needs as soon as possible , says the Federal Ministry of Economics of Germany .

ℹ️ In Paris, they say that their country has never let Ukraine down and has always delivered the equipment agreed with Volodymyr Zelensky on time.

ℹ️ Since the start of the war, France and Germany have clearly not agreed on everything, but there is still broad consensus on key issues, including the need for coordination to speed up munitions production or the EU's €50 billion in aid to Ukraine.

ℹ️ Everyone knows that there are huge differences in strategic vision between France and Germany. What changes with war is that differences that were previously theoretical can lead to different political choices. But we should not exaggerate
these differences.

ℹ️ But Scholz's announcement of the presence of cruise missiles and soldiers to service them stunned his close allies. Former Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said Scholz was "not the right person, not in the right position, not for the time."

Russia produces about 250,000 artillery shells per month for the war, which is almost three times more than the United States and Europe produce for Ukraine, — CNN with reference to Western intelligence.

Officials say Russia now fires about 10,000 shells a day, while Ukraine fires only 2,000. According to a representative of European intelligence, in some places of the front the ratio is even worse.

Artillery factories in the Russian Federation work around the clock, a source told CNN. In addition, Russia imports ammunition from Iran and North Korea.

Russia "launched everything it has," the intelligence official said. "Their war machine is running at full capacity," he added

The NASAMS air defense complex purchased by Canada for Ukraine cannot be transferred due to funding issues from the United States, Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair announced.

The $406 million order was placed over a year ago and has yet to be fulfilled.

"The Americans must provide funding to complete the contracts with manufacturer Kongsberg Defense and Aerospace," Blair stated.

According to Canada's defense minister, acquiring NASAMS through the normal procurement process would take years without a joint agreement.

"We attempted to expedite the process. Unfortunately, the Americans encountered financing difficulties," Blair emphasized.

An investigation by the Meduza publication reveals that Russian authorities have implemented a comprehensive system of "re-education" for children abducted from Ukraine, aimed at instilling a "Russian identity" in them. These children are misled into believing that their parents are deceased and are labeled as "potential terrorists."

The Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation is identified as the primary agency responsible for the "indoctrination" of deported Ukrainian children. A dictionary for teachers has been developed, containing words and phrases deemed as "extremist" on a nationalist basis, which may be used by the deported children. Examples include "Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!", "Racism," "Orcs," among others.

The methodology employed by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation attributes the children's displacement to the ongoing war, describing it as a result of the "complication of the geopolitical situation, which prompts families to undergo forced resettlement."

AN EXCELLENT REASON TO NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP

⚡️Orban: Trump will stop funding Ukraine if elected.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump will "not give a penny into the Ukraine-Russia war" if elected again, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on state television on March 10.

Trump hosted Orban at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida on March 8, referring to the Hungarian Prime Minister as "a fantastic leader." Orban has a long-standing relationship with conservatives in the U.S. and is one of the only European leaders to be openly friendly toward the Kremlin.

⚡️CNN: Russia producing 3 times more shells than US, Europe can provide to Ukraine
