Навіщо. What For

The Battle of Ilovais’k is also known as the ‘Ilovais’k Cauldron’. It is the darkest page in the war in eastern Ukraine to date. The tragic events occurred in August 2014. Around three thousand were trapped in a military encirclement. Over a thousand of them were killed. A year later, hundreds are still missing. A small part of this horrific story is reconstructed in this play. It is based on personal narratives of those who survived, volunteers of the Battalion Donbass.
