Yesterday in Ottawa, a special evening took place – the screening of the documentary Full Force: Army Aviation, which unveils the world of courage and bravery of Ukrainian military pilots.

The Ambassador of Ukraine to Canada, Yuliya Kovaliv, delivered opening remarks, expressing gratitude to the organizers and filmmakers from AERO TIM, led by Timur Fatkullin, who showcased the heroic story of Ukrainian Army Aviation, as well as to the pilots themselves, who risk their lives daily to protect Ukraine’s skies.

It was a great honor for us to meet true Heroes of Ukraine – pilots Mykola Lyubarets, Maksym Chaika, and Yevhen Rakita, who took part in the most dangerous operations of Russia’s war against Ukraine, including the defense of Kyiv, the battles for Snake Island, and missions behind enemy lines. After the screening, the audience had the opportunity to hear their stories, feel their incredible resilience, and personally thank them.

We sincerely thank everyone who attended the screening this evening. This is not just a film – it is a living history of an ongoing struggle that we must continue to share with the world.

Today, Ukrainian pilots and the film crew visited the Embassy of Ukraine in Canada. It was an engaging and meaningful discussion.

Together, we continue working for Ukraine, its victory, and a just and lasting peace.
