One year of conflict, CRI President Rosario Valastro’s analysis of the war in Ukraine

“One year on, the story of our documentary narrates the everyday life of a country where life is trying to go on despite the enormous difficulties that have affected defenceless people,” says Rosario Valastro, President of the CRI.

‘Just as,’ he continues, ‘we have collected the testimony of those Red Cross volunteers who are on the ground to rescue and help’.

Russia-Ukraine conflict, the documentary by Annalisa Ausilio and Emiliano Albensi

Through a long journey to the symbolic places of the conflict, the authors of the documentary ‘Breath of Winter’, filmmakers Annalisa Ausilio and Emiliano Albensi, drag the viewer into the lives turned upside down by the conflict.

Like the story of Paolo, a pensioner from Liguria who three years ago moved to Piski, a small village in northern Ukraine, to join his wife Olga, and who has been surviving this ‘new normality’ for a year.

The same normality that Larisa, a displaced nurse from Mykolaiv, who now lives in Vinnytsia and has made her skills available after ‘meeting the Red Cross’, seeks.

The narration is framed by the long and unstoppable commitment of the Italian Red Cross, which has been at the side of the Ukrainian Red Cross since the beginning, while the images are accompanied by the moving music of maestro Remo Anzovino.

These are the numbers testifying to the Italian Red Cross’ effort towards Ukraine

3,500 tons of humanitarian aid sent, 245 fragile people rescued in 3 evacuation missions from Lviv, 27 ambulances delivered to the Ukrainian Red Cross and, to date, used as mobile clinics to guarantee health assistance even in the most remote places, in addition to the project for the construction of 120 shelters for internally displaced persons.

Ukraine Conflict: stories of civilians – 2nd Feb 2023 – In the picture: Larisa, an URCS nurse, examining people in an isolated village around 40 kilometers far from Vinnytsia. “We do medical exams on local people and they are very happy when they see us arriving. But often we also do medical examination on internal displaced people and in this case I find myself hugging them and mourning with them for lost loved ones.”
