02:02The enemy was in the village.

02:04Our village was killed.

02:06There was a defense.

02:08When they came out, they dominated the classes.

02:12Why did they come out in the 16th?

02:14They came out.

02:16Yes.

02:22It was 2011.

02:24Third class.

02:26They were now on the same time.

02:28They were not seen as a child.

02:30They went to a Russian guy for the first time.

02:32They were usually watching the nationalists.

02:34They were thinking that this is the only person who waited for the last time.

02:36They were not the only people who waited for the last time.

02:38Of course, they were not the only ones that waited for their taxes.

02:39It was only a sick person who waited for the last time.

02:42You can do it.

02:44You're afraid that it's worse than the war?

02:48Well, look, it's worse than the war.

02:50And the danger is the war.

02:52It's the danger of the war.

03:02This is the murder.

03:04This is the war.

03:06Well, this is the result.

03:08They came to kill us.

03:12A rather strange scene greets me

03:14at the military aerodrome outside Mariupol,

03:16where troops are gathered

03:18to defend the city

03:20from a potential Russian attack.

03:30So there's a plague hang on at the moment

03:32for the troops here at the aerodrome in Mariupol.

03:36The guy in the red is Putin with a crown.

03:40I don't quite know who that is.

03:44And the people with the flags are

03:46Western powers threatening sanctions.

03:48It's a kind of modern

03:50parable of what's going on here

03:52geopolitically, being played out

03:54in a Soviet-built aerodrome

03:56on the front line with Russia.

03:58You had Putin wearing a red cloak.

04:08We have soldiers, Ukrainian separatists.

04:10Separatists.

04:12So you had separatists there as well.

04:14Yes, we have as well.

04:16And in our performance, we killed Putin.

04:18I saw it. He was chased away by devil, right?

04:20So the devil kind of kicked him.

04:22By devil and by death.

04:23I played death, yes.

04:24But I'm very good one

04:26because I killed Putin.

04:28That's why everyone liked me.

04:30Ukraine's depleted navy keeps watch over the sea,

04:50where the Russian fleet lies in wait.

04:54Aboard the aging command ship Donbass,

04:56the crew are up front

04:58about their lack of naval strength.

05:00Well, the size of the Ukrainian fleet

05:03is here in Mariupol.

05:05How many ships are there?

05:07Or is it...

05:08It's all in front of us.

05:10It's all in front of us.

05:11It's all in front of us.

05:13What I see, right?

05:15It's obvious to everyone,

05:16that it's not huge now.

05:18It's not huge.

05:19Yes.

05:20Can you see Russian warships?

05:33They are behind the horizon,

05:35near the horizon.

05:36One is on the screen.

05:39One is on the screen.

05:41One is a little closer,

05:43near the Russian border,

05:44which is usually small.

05:45One is always near Berdyansk.

05:47Putin said,

05:49I don't think so,

05:50but I have to give up.

05:51You can see,

05:52that the Russian soldiers are one,

05:53which he said.

05:54Yes.

05:55And what?

05:56He said,

05:57that the Russian soldiers are one.

05:58He said.

05:59Is it true?

06:00Is it true?

06:01From what time?

06:02The words of Putin are

06:04being honest.

06:05Putin said that Russian forces

06:07are not in Crimea.

06:08Putin said that Russia forces

06:10are not in Donbass.

06:11Putin said that Russian forces

06:12are not in Donbass.

06:13Putin said that.

06:14Putin said a lot of things.

06:15And what will happen?

06:16Let's take a look at Ukraine.

06:19Ukraine will in any case fight for its independence, for its territory.

06:25With the help of Europe or without it, we have no exit in any way.

06:30We have no other choice.

06:32Thank Ukraine!

06:35Thank you!

06:37Thank you!

06:39Despite the patriotism and defiance on display,

06:42the Ukrainian army is outgunned and outnumbered should a Russian invasion occur.

06:48But morale is high.

06:50The soldiers are ready to fight.

06:52There is no doubt Vladimir Putin's forces would meet resistance,

06:56including from civilians.

06:58Ukrainians say they are determined to defend their home.

07:12They are in the hands of the Earth.

07:14They are in the hands of the U.S.
