It might've been a rocket hit by our air defense system.
There are fragments all around here.
Internal Affairs identified and detained
the famous accomplice of Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
Now pay attention to this woman amongst all the detainees.
Heavy looks, short hairstyle in a particular way.
Does this resemble anyone?
Yuliia Paievska, call sign "Taira."
A woman nicknamed "The Beast."
It's time to tear off her mask and ask directly
what she really did in the ranks of punishers.
My name is Yuliia Paievska, call sign "Taira."
I am a volunteer paramedic and former serviceman
of the 61st Military Hospital.
Just an offscreen voice instilling fear and lots of editing of the video.
She was obviously in a very depressed state. You could see that.
They have managed to make a complete caricature even out of this.
I am making contact with different Western media
and trying to spread the word to the maximum
about Taira's captivity.
I am doing my best in this situation. But unfortunately, I cannot do more.
Transport leaves at 9:30.
Clearly we're fighting for our own country
but people don't realize that if it goes wrong for us, they will be next.
Mousie.
That was your mom's favorite, and now you're playing with it.
Yes, sometimes.
Bring your arm up
and pull back underneath your shoulder bone.
You couldn't sleep?
Some days ago, we learned that Russia refuse even to speak about
including her in the prisoner exchange lists.
Ukraine…
…above all!
Go Korea!
Why does no one join me? Why do you make me yell by myself?
I'm proud of you for letting those tears come out.
What's that?
I'm proud of you for letting those tears come out.
Last night, I wasn't going to come.
You're here, you came this far.
Minutes of pain, but a lifetime of, you know, you did it.
You guys are next.
Do you hear us right now?
Good afternoon to everyone,
to our military officers, honored heroes, veterans,
those who are helping our amazing sportsmen.
I do not think that you have left our country behind.
I think that it is an honor for us that you represent Ukraine.
As for medals?
The most important award for us is that you found strength to compete.
But there's a reason we need at least one medal…
We will duplicate it many times over, trust me.
You all deserve only gold medals. In fact, you are our gold.
This is a present for you.
And all of these pictures kind of showing what is going on in our land.
Bring it under the chin.
That's it, sunshine. Go on.
Close your chest.
That's right, this way.
Angle it, angle, angle.
Angle towards me.
Yuliia.
Oops, Yuliia… That's her mom's name.
Through my mom I've always felt the war has been present in my life.
Since the war started in Donbas in 2014, she has been away at the front line.
I was just 11 years old at that time.
I saw her for a couple of days once every several months.
Because of this, we didn't recognize each other for who we had become.
It was difficult. I simply didn't understand
but time has passed and everything has changed.
I am. I never knew I had that talent.
Fuck!
That's good! Keep going, keep going!
Glory to Ukraine!
Glory to our heroes!
You okay, buddy?
You want us here? You sent the message.
Um, how long has Darrell been sober for?
The Russians are now saying that she is not there.
And it's hard to comprehend
this feeling that she has simply disappeared.
I am often in touch with my dad, discussing what to say to people.
The speaker of Russia's lower house of parliament,
Vyacheslav Volodin,
ordered a ban on the exchange of "war criminals,"
as Azovstal fighters are called in Russia.
She's disappeared without a trace.
March 15th.
There was a period we were told not to speak out.
That she would be safer
if everything was kept as a secret, and we didn't tell anyone.
But my father and I felt there was something wrong with that.
And on the contrary we needed to tell the world about what had happened.
I'm here to represent her voice.
Not instead of her… but for her.
In this moment, I was trying to calm myself down,
and I imagined a normal day.
Just an ordinary training session.
Mom and I are together.
It is summer
and everything is okay.
Don't forget to breathe.
And at this moment, I clearly realized
why I was doing this.
That calmed me down
and motivated me at the same time.
Breathe.
Don't freak out.
You've dyed yourself here too… on your forehead!
It's a trendy birthmark.
Very pretty!
My mom is a person who takes risks to save others.
Bye.
This is her life's mission,
and I realize that it's not up to me to decide what she must do.
I believe it's an honorable thing.
I'm not sure, but everyone keeps telling me she would be proud of me.
Probably, yes.
I just want to see my mom safe, sound, and happy.
But we all understand that there is only a 1% chance.
I like hearing the sound of our music
and seeing lots of our flags in support of us.
It is amazing to see so much international support.
But my thoughts are always with our people in Ukraine.
In Ukraine we have an app called "Air Alarm"
which informs us when there are air strikes on a city.
As active soldiers, we came here with a mission.
I want to do everything possible to make Ukraine heard
and tell the truth about the situation in Ukraine.
Pasha… that's your hoop.
Well done, Vitya!
It's amazing, I am going back home.
Our cat and rabbit are waiting for me and my wife.
My city is waiting for me.
