In the network, a large-scale social video titled “Ballad of the Infantry” was presented
In the network a large-scale social video titled “Ballad of the Infantry” was released, dedicated to the soldiers of the Ground Forces of Ukraine who defend the country. The video calls Ukrainians to join contract service and, in general, tells about the Ground Forces of Ukraine.
“The army is not only the frontline and training of troops. No less important is the support of society. The command of the SB VU turned to Hnat Korobko and Oleksandr Kopyla from K&K Group with a request to help in establishing communication with the public. The beginning of our cooperation was this video, implemented entirely on volunteer grounds. It is an impressive colossal effort. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to its creation,” said Colonel Oleksandr Holodnyuk, deputy commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in a post on the Ground Forces of Ukraine’s Facebook page.
“We wanted to show in the video that simple things and real people are depicted: soldiers and officers of the Ground Forces of Ukraine. These are not superheroes from films. When you talk to them, you see ordinary guys. But there are things that distinguish them from others — true will and spirit. This is the strength of our army. I also want to note the colossal enthusiasm and cohesion of all project participants, who come from various fields. Such consolidation proves again: we are changing, the country is changing,” said the project author Hnat Korobko (K&K Group).
Project author Oleksandr Smirnov (TABASCO): “This was one of the most difficult scenarios for a social video. It was necessary to find a symbol for the ground forces — simple, humane, devoid of pretended heroism and swashbuckling. This symbol became the infantryman’s shovel.”
Vladimir Yatsenko (LimeLite Studio): “We took on this project because it is our way of defending our homeland. With a rifle in hand we would not be as effective, and here we can be simply deadly. I still gladly recall the tantrum of the pro-Russian propaganda at prime time of the first channel of Russia after 9 May, when we released social videos for Victory Day.”
Director Eli Sverdlov: “When Sasha (Oleksandr Smirnov) asked me to shoot this project, I immediately felt that we would make something very strong. I share the Ukrainians’ aspirations in their struggle for freedom. I myself am a former soldier of the Israeli special forces and I know from experience what a battlefield is like. Together we did everything so that our film would be truly powerful.”
