Ukrainian Director of The Occupant Talks to NPR

Film Appreciation 

While driving into work this morning, I heard an interview on NPR with the director, Mikhail Tkach, of a 24 minute film of Russian Lieutenant Yuri Shalayev, titled The Occupant. Shalayev was captured by the Ukrainians in early April -- Russia launched an unprovoked military invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

During the interview, Tkach commented about the Russian soldiers looking frightened, "I think that Russians soldiers do not really understand what they are doing here and why they are doing that. Having our own investigation on what is their motivation, the main motivation was because they were offered to have some mortgages so that they can have their own apartment and they have some privileges if they serve."
