Director Mstyslav Chernov said from the stage, "This is the first Oscar in Ukrainian history. I am honoured. I will be the first director on stage to say I wish I never made this film. I wish I could exchange this for Russia never attacking Ukraine and occupying our cities. I wish for them to release our prisoners. I cannot chaage the history and the past. We are together. We can make sure the history sets the record. Cinema form memories, memories form history. Thank you god and Thank you Ukraine."
