Ukrainian director Stanislav Kapralov was in the middle of pre-production for a new film — a Hollywood project with U.S. actors and a U.S. distributor lined up — when Russia invadedon Thursday. The film was set to be shot in Chernobyl, which was seized by Russian military forces on the first day of battle. Kapralov, who is also a screenwriter and producer, has worked with some of Ukraine’s biggest names, including Ivanna Sakhno .
It seems to me that the whole world, and especially Europe should understand that Ukraine is now not only fighting for its independence, Ukraine is fighting for all of Europe to stop a ‘Hitler’ of the 21st century. But we get the feeling that we are fighting alone…NATO refused to close the airspace; Germany, Italy, and Hungary blocked a proposal to cut Russia off from SWIFT , and Turkey refused to help in the Black Sea. In order for aggression to stop, Russia needs to be hit with force.
The international community must understand — if Ukraine is seized by Russian invaders, this will mean a new world order and uncontrolled aggression. Ukraine really needs help. We are bombarded with rockets, attacked by planes, infantry, artillery…Imagine if Poland had not surrendered in 1939? If they had stopped Hitler’s advance? Would there have been such a tragedy?Yes, I was just in pre-production of my new movie.
