Interest in domestic cinema is constantly growing both within the country and abroad, so a lot of attention is paid to films about the war in Ukraine, in which authors reveal the figures of Ukrainian heroes who stood up to defend our culture and life. The war is portrayed differently by different directors — in some cases, it is barely present, while in others, it overshadows other storylines. The Kyivstar TV platform has collected the best Ukrainian films about the war, covering events from the beginning of the Soviet occupation to the full-scale Russian invasion.
