Under relentless enemy fire, Ukrainian Marines fight every day for every meter of ground. Evacuating the wounded, suppressing enemy fire, and supporting our assault groups — they continue to carry out their missions despite the constant threat.

When dramatic circumstances force changes to the plan, they cannot break our determination to win. Yaryi is an honest account of the struggle of Mykolaiv Marines on the Kursk front — a story that will not leave you indifferent.

Premiere: February 6, marking six months since the beginning of the operation in which our Marines have been taking part from the very start.
