Mstislav Charnov said that receiving the Oscar is an honor for him.

However, recognition does not bring happiness.

“I will probably be the first director on this stage to say that I wish I had never made this film.

If I could change it.

That Russia never attacked Ukraine, never occupied our cities.

I would give everything to prevent Russia from killing tens of thousands of my fellow citizens.

I would like to see all the hostages released, all the soldiers defending their land, and all the civilians currently in prison.

I can't change history.

I can't change the past.

But.

All of us, all of us in this room, the most talented people in the world, can make the truth prevail.

And Mariupal residents and those who gave their lives will never be forgotten.

After all, cinema creates memories.

And memories shape history.

Thank you all.

Thank you Ukraine.

Glory to Ukraine!"
