For reference: Summertime in Ukraine, a production by the Babylon’13 film collective, debuted in Ukrainian theaters on January 30. The film offers a firsthand look at the war in Ukraine through the experiences of foreign volunteers. Its protagonists are soldiers from the International Legion of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU), who carry out combat missions in some of the most intense frontline zones. Beyond the battlefield, these soldiers form strong bonds, sharing their daily routines, training, and moments of respite. Yet, the grueling summer months put their endurance and skills to the test. Not all recruits can keep up with the relentless pace of service, and as reports of a russian offensive loom, the stakes grow even higher. Summertime in Ukraine takes you inside their journeys, struggles and gripping reality of foreign fighters on Ukraine’s frontlines.9417:18 |
