A new feature film based on real special operations carried out by the Security Service of Ukraine, the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, and the Third Assault Corps is coming to cinemas across Ukraine. The film is directed by Lyubomyr Levytskyi.

‘The central theme of this film is unity. It brings together three powerful units with different approaches and perspectives, working side by side to achieve a common goal. At its core is also the story of a divided family that ultimately reunites. Many elements in the film reflect this idea of coming together. I hope it will resonate with audiences and help unite Ukrainians as well. Our enemies fear our unity above all else, which is why they constantly try to create division among us. We must rise above this. It’s important to remember: we are strongest when we stand together,’ Levytskyi emphasised.

The story follows a civilian rescue operation in temporarily occupied territory that gradually evolves into a complex, high-stakes special mission. Both veterans and active-duty servicemen took part in the film’s production, adding authenticity to the story.

‘Servicemen of the Security Service of Ukraine, alongside our comrades from other Defence Forces units, continue to hold back russian horde and deliver powerful strikes against the occupiers. The SSU does carry out operations that become legendary and can even surpass what is shown on screen. If watching this film inspires viewers to become part of this mission and join the fight, we are always looking for motivated candidates,’ said an SSU Special Operations Centre ‘A’ serviceman with the call sign Viking, who both appeared in the film and served as an advisor to the crew.
