02:27February 24th, 2022
02:30The city looks normal.
02:33Someone once told me, wars don't start with explosions, they start with silence.
02:43When we realized that the invasion was imminent, our team decided to go to Mariupol.
02:50We were sure it would be one of the main targets, but we could never imagine the scale and that
02:58the whole country would be under attack.
03:07We have made a decision about a special operation.
03:12operation. In our plans we do not have occupation of the Ukrainian territories. We are no one and
03:17nothing to do with force. Our actions are self-defense from creating
03:23threats to even more bad than the one that is happening today.
03:44An hour after we arrive, the first bombs hit in the outskirts of the city.
04:02A military base with anti-aircraft systems. Russians are clearing the path for warplanes.
04:30Huge port, industrial city, a bridge to Crimea. We were here eight years ago when
04:40Russia tried to take it. And, without a doubt, they will try again.
04:54We drive to the left bank, the part of the city closest to Russia.
05:18This is the first person I speak to today.
05:27I don't know if I should keep filming or try to calm her down.
05:32Go home. Go home. Go home. They don't shoot. Go home. Go home.
05:38Go home. Go home. Go home.
05:40My son is waiting for us.
05:42Go home. He will come.
05:45He will come.
05:45He will come.
05:46You think they will not get in the house?
05:47They will not get in the house.
05:48Go home. Go home. Go home.
05:55Go home.
05:56Go home.
05:58Go home.
06:00Go home.
06:01I was wrong.
06:02An hour later, shells do hit this neighborhood.
06:12They will come.
06:16There something hit.
06:17Something is wrong.
06:18Something is wrong.
06:19And it was hurt.
06:21It was hurt.
06:21It is bad.
06:22It is bad.
06:25One moment, it will pass over control of the PSA.
06:27And that will happen.
06:27Probably.
06:28It will happen.
06:28It will be sad.
06:29It will not.
06:30It will not.
06:31What would not have to happen?
06:34I want to live in Ukraine, and be safe and safe.
06:40I watched Putin's speech on the Internet.
06:45He tells his citizens so beautifully,
06:49that we have almost need to fight Ukraine,
06:55and so Ukraine will attack Russia.
06:58It's a lot of people.
07:02It's a lot of people.
07:09It's a lot of people.
07:10Ladies and gentlemen,
07:11the government is in the state.
07:15This is necessary for the security of the country
07:18and our victory.
07:22Keep calm.
07:23Please follow the instructions of the military
07:25and military power in your cities.
07:28Don't give up any information.
07:47There are no directives to evacuate the city,
07:51but some people are leaving anyway.
07:54There are no directives to evacuate the city,
08:19I understand their anger their country is being attacked it's our country too and we have to
08:29tell it's story there are almost no real bomb shelters in the city so people hide in the
08:49basements of their apartment buildings suddenly the lights go out
09:09no problem
09:11quiet
09:12quiet
09:13quiet
09:14quiet
09:14quiet
09:14Yeah, it's fine.
09:17It's fine.
09:17It's fine, it's fine.
09:23What?
09:24The kitchen, the room, the room.
09:26Why are you struggling?
09:28It's raining.
09:30I want to die.
09:34I want to die quickly.
09:36I want to die quickly.
09:49I want to die today.
09:59I woke up today.
10:02I understand, it's a war.
10:18The war has begun.
10:22Ukraine is now a nation at war.
10:25190,000 Russian troops and their proxies coming from Ukraine's northern, eastern and southern borders.
10:32Russia is moving fast.
10:34After Putin stopped speaking on cue, the missiles and airstrikes began.
10:39Air raid sirens sounded on and off.
10:42Kharkiv in the east and Mariupol in the south both came under heavy fire.
10:48There's real anger in the air.
10:50The hatred for Vladimir Putin is palpable.
10:53main기� dramatically is often killed.
10:58FRIDGER
11:04Nope.
11:05February 26th.
11:07This is emergency broadcast system.
11:10Russians are starting to surround the city.
11:13Taking towns and blocking the roads on the outskirts.
11:18A quarter of the residents have left, but most decided to stay.
11:26This is TerraSport fitness center.
11:30Now it's one of the biggest improvised shelters in the city.
11:57People put tape on the mirrors, so fewer fragments are created when bombs fall.
12:17It's scary for a child, who didn't know any life, nothing, and it's not clear for what it is.
12:28What are the people who lived here?
12:32I don't understand what's going on. It's just some trash.
12:49This woman, she is the one I told to stay home on the first day.
13:08I apologize. I'm glad she's okay.
13:26As I look at all these children, I think about my daughters.
13:31They also have to leave their home because of this war.
13:38News comes from all over Ukraine,
13:40and I cannot get over the feeling that something terrible is going to happen to this city.
13:53Missiles fired at civilian locations according to the Ukrainians.
13:58Even though the Russians say they are not targeting civilians.
14:06With their worst nightmare coming true, thousands of citizens are trying to flee the country.
14:12And those who are left behind have filled bomb shelters amid fears of rocket attacks overnight.
14:20Ukrainian soldiers like these have put up a stout defense of Mariupol because as a large port, it's economically vital.
14:28And as a major city just 30 miles from Russia, it's strategic.
14:33For both sides in this war, it is quite a prize.
14:50February 27th.
14:52Soldiers are patrolling around emergency hospital number 2, a couple kilometers from the front line on the edge of the
15:00city.
15:04So far, Russians have not been able to break through.
15:26For the first time in Mariupol, I hear a sound of a fighter jet.
15:47The soldiers are tense and don't want to be filmed.
15:55The soldiers are tense and don't want to be filmed.
16:13We are interrupted by an ambulance siren.
16:18We are interrupted by an ambulance siren.
16:26What else do you sleep to us?
16:27When don't you go or sleep?riilan,

18:56said to an AP reporter, the doctor
18:58wanted Vladimir Putin to see, quote,
19:01the eyes of this child and crying doctors.
19:05Anyone wanting to leave Mariupol probably
19:08has to hit the road by tomorrow, after which the last route out
19:12is expected to close.
19:27March 2nd, Russian strikes are causing problems
19:31with internet and electricity.
19:39All the international journalists we met in Mariupol
19:43have left.
19:45But we decide to stick with the medics for a few days.
19:53We drive to the left bank, where the heaviest fighting
19:57is happening.
20:18This woman was standing on her balcony when the shell hit
20:22the house on the opposite side of the street.
20:45But shells don't just hit the left bank.
20:49These days, attacks happen all across the city.
20:58There was a lot of suffering, a lot of suffering, a lot of
21:01cars, a lot of scolk.
21:07The Russian Federation says that they don't shoot
21:12by the citizens.
21:14Well, we were in the building only the citizens.
21:18We had the military in the building, I didn't see.
21:41The pressure is on me.
21:44I need to say something else.
21:51The men are local residents after the shooting of Kirov,
21:55the usual area of Kirov.
22:00They hit the shooting with us.
22:03How are they?
22:04With the truck.
22:06They signed the name of Kirov.
22:09They didn't shoot.
22:13They are in the car.
22:20They are in the car.
22:21Let's go!
22:24Let's go!
22:26Let's go!
22:27Let's go!
22:28Let's go!
22:29Let's go!
22:30This is Kirov?
22:31Yes, this is Kirov.
22:33Did we put this?
22:36Help!
22:38Where?
22:38Where?
22:40Go!
22:41Get the vehicle!
22:42Here we go!
22:44Knock!
22:48Oh now!
22:48What?
22:49Let's go!
22:51Where do you go?
22:52Where?
22:53Where?!
22:54Where?
22:55Where?
22:56Where?
22:57How are you?
22:59What's wrong?
23:01What's wrong?
23:02What's wrong?
23:03In this case, I mean...
23:17The boy was playing soccer with his friends when shelling started.
23:23His legs were completely blown off.
23:37The boy was playing soccer with his friends.
23:40The boy was playing soccer with his friends.
23:43The boy was playing soccer with his friends.
23:57The boy was playing soccer with his friends.
24:04The boy was playing soccer with his friends.
24:18Ilya, 16 years old.
24:43The front line is closing in.
24:47We've sent all the photos and videos.
24:50Notes to editors.
24:53Graphic content.
24:55This is painful.
24:58This is painful to watch.
25:01But it must be painful to watch.
25:07In the port city of Mariupol, local officials say hundreds of casualties are now feared.
25:15A father lost in grief over the body of his 16-year-old son, Ilya.
25:22The electricity is gone.
25:24The internet is gone.
25:26The Russians are coming.
25:29Mariupol awaits its fate.
25:39March 3rd.
25:42March 8th.
25:43March of months, 24 hours of intercicts.
25:45I used to leave him for a trên очень просorme of his family is going by his 1st family einf
25:45handlar.
25:45The shaling has reached the neighbourhood around the hospital.
25:57Mama, everything in process is prepared to move with the families.
26:01I'm to return.
26:03I can get a habit of moving.
26:09Let's go to the hospital.
26:11Let's go to the hospital.
26:12Do the hospital.
26:27Patient's are moved away from the windows.
26:31And day after day the conditions in the hospital get worse.
26:46This is one of the boys who was hit while playing soccer.
26:56Doctors smile at him, but I hear a whisper that his leg may need to be amputated.
27:03There are almost no antibiotics left to stop the sepsis.
27:33We are at work for more than a week.
27:39Someone is more than a week.
27:40So, let's continue working.
27:50The internet and phones have stopped working.
27:53And I'm sending short dispatches to our editors of the satellite phone.
28:02The mark is full.
28:04So, doctors store bodies in utility rooms.
28:20We stay and sleep in the hospital.
28:23So far, it seems to be the safest place.
28:29We stay and sleep.
28:35So, we stay and stay.
28:42The world is empty.
28:43We are not empty yet.
28:46We're not empty yet.
28:47Until you, no.
28:48I don't think so.
28:52The world is empty.
29:03From our observation point on the 7th floor of the hospital, I see the battle on the front
29:09line continues.
29:12Russians are still trying to break into the city.
29:32Kyrill, 18 months old.
29:38Kyrill, 18 months old.

30:13Kyrill, 19 months old.
30:16Kyrill, 22 months old.
30:26Why? Why?
30:49Why? Why?
30:56Why?
30:58Why?
31:03Why?
31:04Why?
31:16All night we sit on the seventh floor of the hospital, hoping to catch a connection, to find a way
31:26to get these images out.
31:29Nothing works.
31:34I think about all this country has been through over the past eight years.
31:40All that I filmed.
31:49What?
31:52What?
31:53Page seventeen.
31:56Donetsk airport siege.
32:00War that seems endless.
32:04Thousands have died.
32:05We keep filming.
32:08We keep filming.
32:08And things stay the same.
32:12Wars even.
32:15Propaganda turns everything upside down.
32:21I think about my daughters.
32:24They were born into a world at war.
32:28I wish I could see them now.
32:35But all I have is a satellite phone to make short calls to editors.
32:40We tell them, Mariupol is under siege.
32:46Russians are killing civilians.
32:48We are holding up.
32:50Tell our families we love them.
33:17Tell our families we love them.
33:20The corridor was planned to evacuate people from there.
33:22And we've heard that it has not happened, that Russian forces have continued to shell the city.
33:27That's what the mayor has said.
33:28And we have a real-time information of what's going on in the city.
33:53This is the only radio signal you can catch in Mariupol now.
33:58Over the next weeks, Russia will bomb buildings, cut electricity, water, supplies, and finally, crucially, the cell phone, radio, television
34:14towers.
34:17We have to get out of the hospital to try to find the connection, to see what's happening to the
34:26city.
34:28The police are in the city.
34:37Are they still out of the city?
34:42No, please don't rush everybody.
34:44I'm with you.
34:46No, please don't push them out.
34:46Do not rush them to the hospital.
34:47March 4th.
34:48A mall near the hospital was destroyed.
34:52And they can't help them.
34:53This is they have to help them.
34:54I can't do it.
34:59I can't do it.
34:59So, it might be here?
35:01Maybe.
35:03What the hell is this?
35:13What happened?
35:15Fox Trot hit the El Dorado.
35:18What is that?
35:19What is it?
35:20Technica.
35:21In the sense of Park City?
35:23Yes.
35:24And people?
35:25There were friends from El Dorado.
35:28There was a 10-meter.
35:38As we search for a connection,
35:41we go neighborhood to neighborhood.
35:44Houses we saw standing days ago
35:47and destroyed.
35:52Why are they here?
35:56Please, good people.
35:58But what is this?
36:02We are here.
36:03We are here.
36:05We are here.
36:06We are here.
36:07We are here.
36:08We are here.
36:08We are here.
36:12We are here.
36:15We are here.
36:19We are here.
36:41We follow the smoke, houses hit by shells burn.
36:48A humanitarian corridor was open on March 5th.
36:53Vehicles fled the city, only to be blocked by Russian forces.
37:00Then the road was closed.
37:17But for her, we need to agree to open the corridor.
37:21The corridor, the corridor.
37:22Where do we go?
37:23We don't know.
37:24We have information.
37:26We have no information.
37:27We are completely removed from Ukraine.
37:30We have no information.
37:40Tell us what the situation is.
37:43We have no water, no light, no gas.
37:47We are cooking here on the street.
38:00Red Cross, police, Ukrainian soldiers try to help and calm people down.
38:07The area of the city of Luka.
38:08Everything is mined.
38:09We are not able to do the conversation, so it was safe for the peaceful citizens.
38:17Believe me, I have a family at home.
38:19I worry about them.
38:20Unfortunately, we are at least at least at least at least at least at least at least at least at
38:23least at least at least at least at least at least at least at least at least.
38:25And so on.
38:26The corridor is safe here?
38:27It's.
38:28It's the best of the safe that we can have on the road.
38:31We have to be safe.
38:33We will escape.
38:33If the evacuation will be, we will drive to tell the comments.
38:37This is the same way.
38:39The door is safe.
38:42It's the same way.
38:42We are in the front.
38:43A eye.
38:44What are we at least at least at least?
38:46We are at least 100 kilometers.
38:48We are at least at least at least at least.
38:50The distance we have where we are at least at least at least.
39:08The more people realize that they are trapped, the more desperate they grow.
39:26The more people realize that they are trapped, the more they are trapped, the more they are trapped, the more
39:49they are trapped.
39:58The more people realize that they are trapped, the more they are trapped, the more they are trapped.
40:19The more people realize that they are trapped, the more they are trapped, the more they are trapped.
40:53The more people realize that they are trapped, the more they are trapped.
41:08The more people realize that they are trapped, the more they are trapped, the more they are trapped.
41:21The more people realize that they are trapped, the more they are trapped.
41:44The more people realize that they are trapped, the more they are trapped.
41:48The city changed so much, so quickly.
41:52When we were in a hospital, one of the doctors told me war is like an X-ray.
41:59All human insights become visible.
42:05Good people become better.
42:08Bad people worse.
42:20But I thought, it's not only the bombs, lack of food, water.
42:27It's isolation, the inability to contact relatives, to find out what's happening in other cities.
42:37People charge cell phones from a generator, just to use them as flashlights.
42:46Cut off.
42:48We feel the same.
42:50We still cannot send our images.
43:15I don't know.
43:22This is anrement.
43:24It's an hela.
43:25If not, it's aMAN.
43:30The case is happening.
43:31The case is the same.
43:38The other tampons have a lot.
43:40It's not a part.
43:41The other tampons have a lot.
43:44The other tampons have a lot of time.
43:46Why don't they pay me?
43:48I want to go home, I want to work.
43:53The city is bad, the people is bad, the children is bad.
43:58Is there something for you to whom will belong to the city?
44:04I don't want to belong to Russia.
44:08I don't want to live in Russia, I want to live in Ukraine.
44:11I don't want to live in Russia.
44:15I don't want to live in Russia.
44:16I don't want to live in Russia.
44:18I don't want to live in Russia.
44:20It's still a bit of a cold.
44:22It's cold.
44:23It's cold.
44:23It's cold.
44:26There's a kerosene, it's cold.
44:29It's cold.
44:31We're cold.
44:31We're cold.
44:35The city is cold.
44:36The city is cold.
44:39That night, as we watch artillery shooting,
44:43our phones suddenly pick up connection.
44:48I split the footage into 10 second clips.
44:51We'll be ready for a while.
44:51We've been using natural arms.
44:51Of course!
