The road was covered in crushed concrete, a huge piece of metal, grotesquely twisted, lay nearby.Īcross the road was a gym - its walls scorched and all of its windows shattered in the wake of the strike. The signs of destruction were all around Rostia and Roman on Wednesday. There are always sirens, loud booms and more sirens. It never seems to get quiet for long enough. The shifts are long and proper rest is hard to come by in a city under attack. They admit they are cold, but say they are ok.
Rostia, wearing dark utility trousers and a thinly-padded casual jacket, has pulled his black hood over his head to shield himself from the sleet that has started to fall. Roman is dressed in tracksuit bottoms, sturdy sneakers and a camouflage vest over a jacket that does not look thick enough for the freezing weather in Kyiv in recent days. They are volunteers, and they look like it: Neither is wearing a helmet or, as they freely admit, any kind of thermal underwear to keep them warm. Automatic rifles, handed to them by Ukrainian authorities last week, swing from their shoulders. They joined up on Thursday, just hours after the Russian invasion started. The pair are members of Ukraine's Territorial Defense Forces, a branch of the country's armed forces made up largely of volunteers like them.

Rostia and his colleague Roman were back at their guard post on Wednesday, standing in front of the TV tower site for hours at a time. Just a week ago, in his pre-invasion life - a life that seems completely alien right now - he worked as a hot air balloon pilot. Rostislav, or Rostia for short, is not a military man. "One thing is having soldiers coming at you, but when there are rockets flying from the sky and you have no control over that, that is another thing," he said. He was scared, he said - everybody there was scared. He heard glass shattering, then another explosion. Emerald and OJ’s search for the truth brings in the local video guy (Brandon Perea, a highly amusing addition), who clearly watches too much programming on cable TV’s crowded aliens-among-us tier, although he’s useful if the goal, as OJ says, is to provide evidence worthy of “Oprah.Rostislav was manning the defensive post outside Kyiv's TV tower when a Russian missile struck nearby on Tuesday afternoon. The middle of nowhere, however, is where UFO-type sightings have historically taken place, and things gradually get very, very strange indeed. But with work having fallen on hard times, OJ begins selling stock to Ricky “Jupe” Park (Steven Yeun), a carnival-barker sort who runs a nearby tourist spot, strangely situated in the middle of nowhere. Said family consists of siblings OJ (Daniel Kaluuya, reuniting with the director) and Emerald (Keke Palmer), who have inherited their father’s ranch and business wrangling horses for Hollywood. Night Shyamalan’s “Signs” than the grandeur of Steven Spielberg’s “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” despite those bubbling clouds and foreboding skies. By setting much of the action on a remote horse ranch outside Los Angeles, the writer-director-producer mounts the terror on a smallish family scale, closer to M.
