Cherkasy (film)

Cherkasy, also known as U311 Cherkasy,[1] is a Ukrainian feature film directed by Tymur Yashchenko about the defense of the eponymous naval Natya-class minesweeper, blocked by Russian troops in Donuzlav Bay, Crimea during the 2014 capture of Southern Naval Base.

At a time when the crew of the minesweeper Cherkasy is being trained, President Yanukovych is fleeing Ukraine and Crimea is being seized by "little green men."

[3] Officially, filming of the events on Donuzlav began on 18 April 2017, off the coast of Ochakiv and Kinburn Spit.
