Cyborgs (Кіборги)

At the beginning of the 21st century no one believed in the possibility of war.

But in the spring of 2014 Russia's imperial ambitions led...

to an invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine.

One of the strategic objectives was the airport of Donetsk.

For 242 days the Ukrainian military was to defend it, together with volunteers.

It seemed as if they had already lost their fight.

But nothing could stop them from standing firm.

For their courage and their seeming invulnerability they were called "cyborgs".

According to unconfirmed reports...

the separatists are using a TOS-1 rocket launcher at midnight.

I think you know what that means.

Nothing will be here tomorrow.

There is no order to vacate the airport.

But,

if any of you want to go

I will understand.

Mischa?

I'm sorry, I really wanted to stay for a sauna today.

Stephan?

I don't feel like going anywhere today.

Igor?

I'm afraid of the dark.

Old man? I have to look after all of your asses.

Damn, you really have balls.

You are not men, but...

Cyborgs.

LAST RESISTANCE - IN RUSSIAN CROSSFIRE

10 days earlier

Good luck, Serpen! Thank you.

Do you have a minute? Not now.

No time Excuse me.

Please turn that off! Could you give us a comment?

Don't worry, just a few questions.

I have nothing to say! It wont take long.

Lieutenant, you're with me. Sorry.

Yes, I've changed the password.

Because you keep snooping on my messages.

What? Larysa?

I don't know any Larysa. - What vehicle are the paramedics in?

No, you just...

Are you crazy?

Where do you think I am? What?

Excuse me, commander. Where are we going?

I'm not your commander, and what are you still doing here?

Listen, for 5 months we've no replacements, we need

proper soldiers, not old men.

We will not give up the airport. Ukraine is behind us.

How could you simply watch as the enemy attacks our country?

We continue to fight and will defeat them.

Mars!

As you can see, our soldiers prepare

for the march to the airport of Donetsk, the center of the fighting.

The airport is only about 3 kilometres from Pisky, where we are now.

Our soldiers call the road to the strategically important airport

the "road of life". They go there

to protect their families, their parents and their children.

They go there to protect Ukraine.

Aleksandr Zahorodny and Vlad Zhyrenko, TSM.

Well guys, let those damn Russians come and we'll kick them hard in their fat asses!

Do you really mean that?

Of course, with tough battle machines like us!

Damn it! Move it, fast! - They're gonna pop us out here!

Shit, we're burning alive if we stay in here! Move!

Get down! Lie down!

Take cover!

My Kalashnikov. - Stay here, I'll get it.

The Kalashnikov! - Forget it!

Let's get out of here!

Faster!

Stand up! Get to the driver's seat!

Is everything okay? - All good.

Come on, come on, hurry!

Did you order a taxi? What are you sitting around here for?

Move, move!

Wait for me!

Wait for me!

Going to the airport? - By chance, yes. Get in!

I thought I was gonna miss my flight!

How you all feeling? - Like it's a fucking concert.

The fun is just beginning.

What do you mean?

When I say "concert"? - Yeah.

Like a symphony concert?

Were you at the airport?

No, why?

You talk as if you had liberated Ilovaysk.

Where do you get that from?

I just come from there. - Me too.

I'll be glad to see my buddies again.

Damn, our weapons are still in the tank.

Shit, you're right.

Those damn bastards came to our country, but they'll see.

They will drown in their own blood.

Okay, calm down.

Hey, you wouldn't believe it - we're here!

Welcome!

Long live the Ukraine, guys! Long live the heroes.

Serpen.

Good to see you. How was the ride?

We had problems. - Yeah?

Several injured. They were taken to Pisky.

Okay. Is this everyone? - All those who made it.

Okay, got it. Come in everyone. Come in guys!

Men, this is Serpen, I told you about him.

Come on, make yourselves at home. Come on.

Igor? - Yes?

Show the new guests our hotel. - Okay. I've just finished the list.

So, guys, listen up! Equipment:

Here is the list of our equipment. A pair of boots in size 40

This is the shelter - what was that? - We'll check that and get back to you .

Roger that.

So guys, you want to see our 4-star, all-inclusive hotel?

I'm Igor. - Stephan.

Thank you.

And you?

I'm Mischa. - Mars.

Oh, "god of war".

It's short for Marchenko Slava. Nothing more.

Oh stop it. No excuses.

Admit that you like it.

And who are you? - Kolya.

Your fighting name. Only Kolya. He was drafted.

So I'm worse? - No, but also not a soldier.

This is not your group? - No, my people had to go back.

Excuse me, I'm from the 79th and looking for my men.

Igor will take you to them. - Roger that.

Feels like home. This is our so-called ... studio.

As you can see, all in one room: kitchen, the shithouse, a bed...

Over there is our restaurant. "The three separatists".

Sounds unappetizing. - It is, too.

Where are the enemy? - Come on, I'll show you.

Good.

Come on guys, follow me! - Didn't you hear?

From here on, keep your head down.

Do you think this ends well? - We'll see.

With any luck, we'll get out of here unscathed.

It'll work out.

Base here; please respond. - Igor here, I hear you.

Something is moving in the new terminal. Where are you?

At the entrance. See you at the end.

Well, who fancies a bit of fun? - Always.

Stop. Does everyone have a weapon? - I've got grenades.

Okay. You two stay here.

God of War, follow me.

I'll cover you.

Where are you going? Damn, I said stay there!

Why should I listen to you? - Right.

They look like ours.

But I'm not sure.

Taras? You ready?

Igor?

Yeah, I'll give you cover. - Okay guys, go!

What happened?

I don't know. Suddenly, they were on us. Nobody saw anything.

Then they probably fell from the sky. - Just make your jokes.

You read my mind. How many are there? - About 40.

No, there's less. - Where were you, exactly?

2nd floor, at the Duty Free. - Hey, I've never been in a Duty Free.

My daughter says that the whiskey is cheap.

Definitely. - You don't understand the seriousness of the situation.

I do, we understand everything. You don't happen to have a grenade for me?

Get to work.

Okay, Igor, are we going in? - You're real hardcore tourists.

Move out!

The boys will cover us.

Do you play Counter Strike?

It's like the video game, don't worry. You can do this level, so come on. Clear?

Come on. Don't worry.

Good. To work, go!

Take cover!

Get back!

Hey, you fucking separatists! Have we kicked your ass enough?

- Come here, you wankers and we'll show you!

Come on, asshole!

They are not that stupid.

Do you have any ammo left?

Only three boxes. - But there's six of us.

Five. Stephan stay here. - Okay.

All right.

Hey, guys, we'll take the lookout route. I have to show you something.

Good luck. - And you.

It's just me.

What's happening?

I'll come with you.

Okay?

All right.

Scared us a bit. - Did you shit yourself?

And how! Well, did you miss me?

Go on, go on.

There we are.

What's this? A reward for good behaviour?

Of course, from the God of the airport.

Mind if I take a picture? - Go for it.

But there are only dead ends here.

Probably mined, too.

Yeah. The separatists wanted to exchange it for prisoners.

We said "well, come over and take it".

But they have not come.

Back to the Tower, folks.

You'll have a panoramic view over the whole picturesque area.
