At the Oscars Chernov condemns the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Chernov, an Associated Press journalist, was stuck with colleagues on the front line in Mariupol when the Russian attack began.

"I wish Russia had never attacked Ukraine, had never occupied its cities and had not killed tens of thousands of Ukrainians. I cannot change history, but all of us, all together we can make sure that the facts are recognized and may the truth prevail," he said. Reproduction reserved © Copyright ANSA.
