The film is set in 2024, during a period when Washington and Kyiv are portrayed as allies, with Donald Trump notably absent from the storyline.

The film features appearances from well-known Ukrainian figures, including former military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov.

The production involved support from Ukraine's intelligence agencies, including the Security Service of Ukraine and the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, which provided military equipment such as Humvee and MaxxPro vehicles and a Black Hawk helicopter.

The film incorporates fictional elements, including a kidnapped 12-year-old girl and scenes set in the White House situation room and occupied eastern Ukraine.

Levytskyi first turned the story into a documentary titled 'Follow Me' before expanding it into a full-length feature filmed last year in the Kyiv region.

Director Liubomyr Levytskyi said the story stood out after seeing footage of the rescue operation.

The sound of the drones is still characteristic and cannot be mistaken for anything else.

Independent Russian news site IStories reported in March that Russia aims to recruit nearly 80,000 soldiers for its unmanned systems units by the end of 2026.

Ukrainian comedian Yevhen Volnov published a video last Friday claiming he infiltrated a closed meeting of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade.

The incident was reported by several Ukrainian media, The Telegraph, and independent Russian news site Meduza.

The man's claim that he serves in the Ukrainian armed forces could not be verified.

Meduza assessed that the lecture hall in the video is likely at the Kuban State Agricultural University in Krasnodar, Russia, but the exact location and time cannot be confirmed.

The video call was suddenly cut off after university staff appeared to realize the situation.

One Yellow Ribbon activist was sentenced to over 13 years in prison.

The UK funded the project with several hundred thousand pounds over four months in 2025.

Canada paid 2.3 million Canadian dollars between 2022 and 2024.

Ukrainian special forces have launched an investigation into the methods, described by experts as dangerous.

The movements allegedly facilitated Russian intelligence in identifying pro-Ukrainian individuals.

Regime critic Vadzim Kabanchuk doubts the half-million figure, calling it a mantra for self-reassurance or an attempt to scare Western neighbors.

According to Lukashenko, Belarus has 70,000 active-duty soldiers, and total forces are around 100,000 if troops under the Interior Ministry are included.

A scenario of large-scale mobilization by Minsk is described as unlikely, requiring heavy pressure from Russia and causing huge domestic discontent for Lukashenko.

Belarusian troops lack combat experience and their weapons systems are outdated; newer equipment has been sent to Russia, and most stocks are filled with Soviet leftovers that cannot match Russian weapons like Iskander missiles.

Putin claimed that in December, Russia had 700,000 soldiers involved in the 'special operation' in Ukraine.

According to intelligence from neighboring Latvia, the Belarusian military is actually half the size that Minsk claims.

Naumluck also says it could be that Belarus is actually about to take a larger role in the war, despite the people's reluctance, as Lukashenko does what he or Putin wants.

Anton Naumluck, chairman of the Free Russia Foundation's Warsaw branch, says Zelenskyy's warnings could be a way to strengthen ties with Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya or to increase acceptance for a possible new mobilization in Ukraine.

Zelenskyy believes Russia is again trying to drag Belarus into the war.

New roads are being built on the Belarusian side of the border heading towards Ukrainian territory, and there are movements of troops and artillery.

This has not happened before in the war.

The brigade acknowledged logistical problems in getting food to the soldiers, who are near Russian positions.

Ukraine's defense ministry responded to the criticism and said the commander responsible for supplying the soldiers has been reassigned.

The soldiers were not listened to on the radio, or no one wanted to listen.

The longest period without food was 17 days.

The soldiers drank rainwater and melted snow to survive.

Food deliveries suddenly stopped.
