She served there from 2014 to 2017 as a battalion deputy commander. Her unit consisted of 600 people.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In December 2016, we took part in heavy battles. These include battles in the area of Debaltseve and the Svitlodarsk Arc. The rotation of our troops was also difficult, a lot of our soldiers were killed. This year alone, 50 people from my battalion. And 180 were wounded. In the end, I started to think that something was a little wrong with me. But I kept holding on. I did not leave the combat zone for eight months,&#8221; Yakubova said.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53510 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/picture-53-e1572022760581.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"283\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After a vacation, Yakubova had no strength to return to the front line. She broke down. Starting in 2017, she was treated in a hospital, a military sanatorium &#8212; and underwent psychotherapy, organized by volunteers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This year, I also had a breakdown. I was cured at the hospital for war veterans, as hospitals for civilians don&#8217;t admit us. When they see that you are a war veteran, who had a breakdown and was shell-shocked &#8212; they immediately say, &#8216;Go somewhere else!&#8217; I was told in one hospital, &#8216;Go to a madhouse!'&#8221; Yakubova said.<\/p>\n<p>The director of &#8220;No Obvious Signs&#8221; met with Yakubova when she was filming the movie &#8220;Invisible Battalion,&#8221; about women at war.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53508 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/picture-52-e1572022671920.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"416\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After I met Oksana, it became clear to me that this film does not portray people at war, but it portrays them after the war. This is how we made a short film. The story itself had to be a full-length film. This is how we managed to highlight the problem of rehabilitation,&#8221;\u00a0director Alina Horlova said. &#8220;During filming, I realized that our state hasn&#8217;t solved this problem.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Last year, at its premiere, &#8220;No Obvious Signs&#8221; was recognized as the Best East European Film at the international Doc Leipzig Festival. In Ukraine, it won four awards at the DocuDays UA Festival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;There are no obvious signs,&#8221; is a phrase often heard by Donbas &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":416982,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,36449,36422],"tags":[36961],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-416981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-11473-11473-news-en-3-news-en","category-11473-news-en-3","tag-russian-aggression"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
