The Babylon 13 documentary filmmakers have been documenting the events of the Russian-Ukrainian war since 2014, when it was still called the Anti-Terrorist Operation. During this time, more than two hundred short films and more than a dozen feature-length films have been released, covering the widest range of this catastrophe — from the military and social to the cultural and artistic aspects. This anthology is presented in chronological order, starting with the invasion of Crimea by Russian troops. In addition to subjective and aesthetic criteria, the collection was created according to the principle of ‘no more than 10 minutes’ and the priority of military topics. It in no way claims to be exhaustive, but it demonstrates quite eloquently the development and formation of the modern Ukrainian military image. With ups and downs, with tragic and comic elements. So, enjoy, inquisitive viewers.
