Ukraine awoke Monday to another day of war – Russian drones blasted buildings in the Kharkiv and Odesa regions – but also the news it had won its first Oscar.
The best documentary victory for Mstyslav Chernov’s “20 Days in Mariupol”, a harrowing first-person account by AP journalist of the early days of Russia’s invasion in 2022, was bittersweet. “This is the first Oscar in Ukrainian history, and I’m honoured,” an emotional Chernov said Sunday at the Academy Awards. “Probably I will be the first director on this stage to say I wish I’d never made this film, I wish to be able to exchange this to Russia never attacking Ukraine.”
Back home in his native Ukraine, the award was applauded for exposing the brutal devastation of the war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he was grateful to the team for creating the film”. “The horrors of Mariupol must never be forgotten,” he said.
The AP team of Chernov, photographer Evgeniy Maloletka and producer Vasilisa Stepanenko arrived an hour before Russia began bombing the port city. Two weeks later, they were the last journalists working for an international outlet in the city, sending crucial dispatches to the outside world showing civilian casualties.
The award comes as the war has entered its third year. Drone attacks overnight damaged two multistory buildings, a hotel and a municipal building in the eastern city of Kharkiv. An infrastructure facility in the Odesa region was destroyed.
