"The war was touched." Model Sergey Kakula told about his path from the podium to the army and the attitude towards the parties during the war

And after February 24, the guy went from the podium to the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Video of the Day Our Interviewer Masha Hrusheva talked with Sergius, there is a text below, and if you cut off - watch the video. I worked as a model, but this is only the last three years. Before this he was engaged in the processing of granite, that is, the manufacture and installation of granite, marble products, such as stonemason.

Then I was offered [modeling], saw my photos on Instagram, asked if I was interesting - I said so. And we met with the agency, then talked to the test shoot. So gradually began to take the shoot. Were for Lacoste, Rio Division, Ruslan Baginskiy, Stone Island, Saucony . . . many different. My brothers are treated normally before the war. They are well perceived, asked how it was and the like. At first I did not tell [whom I worked], but later told someone alone, and this one, and so on.

I learned that the war had begun because my dad called me in the morning and said, "It started. " Already began to shoot Kyiv, began to fire in Frankivsk then in the afternoon, and in Lutsk fired - and so I learned. At first I was in local self -defense, so to speak. And then I decided that I do not do it a little, I could something more. And he went to the military enlistment office. I was discharged and I went to service. I was in local self -defense, I went patrol.

But I see that from that not much sense we have in the west of Ukraine, so I realized that we need to go to the army. Now I am not on the front, but in the west of Ukraine - in the National Guard. We have training. We from time to time to shoot, study, tactics and the like. We go to custody, protection of objects of different. That is, a certain unit has its own object and protects. And we go to the outfits.

We are waiting, some of the guys have already left, and only a few people are left of their unit. They are both wounded, but thank God, slight injuries, now in the hospital. We are ready for the front. Only there will be an order that we need - and we go. Before the war [during the shooting], I lived with one guy from Russia, from Moscow. Top model. We normally communicated well with him, there were no conflicts on the political background. But now I do not see any of him . . .

He never asked me how we and the like, I did not see something in the Instagram at all to the war of war, discussed. I wrote from him . . . I do not see the point. He saw, everyone saw what and how it happened. He does not live in Russia, he travels in Europe. That is, he is aware of everything. The interviewer is very unpleasant for me to see. I can't say that "everyone goes to fight, all go to volunteer and the like.

" Of course, there are people who want to relax in the mountains, somewhere on the party . . . But, though, do not put it on the show. This is my opinion. Of course, it is wrong at all now to have fun and walk on clubs, but if you have already gone, then I think it is not a situation that can be proud of, even to show everyone, here is how cool I am now, how I rest. It is necessary to mention all people who are difficult. What can I say? Not everyone is ready to fight.

Not everyone is ready to see what people see on the front line. Not everyone can stand, even a lot of guys said that those who thought they would go and everything would be normal, broke psychologically. Even when they are alive, but psychologically they could not stand. Therefore, one cannot say that everyone should go to fight, but just everyone helps. Someone may be able to list money, someone can different . . .

Here my wife is a mom - a seamstress, all the time she made some orders, kikimoras for snipers, sewing gloves. She was simply given material, she was given sizes and she just sewed. Everyone helps as they can. Someone, even in the same Instagram, can extend that the powerbank is needed and the like, and someone may know where it is. Who can help. There are many acquaintances. I have more from the village, probably than a dozen people. My uncle is at war, my mother is fighting my brother.

Many of my acquaintances, friends. I have acquaintances who, unfortunately, have died there. Even one man knows who was not brought because he was a tank and had nothing to bring home. There are wounded too. There is my friend who just broke psychologically and was on rehab. There is also a person from my family who was killed in 2016 or in 2017.

I think that now everyone has affected everyone, everyone has either acquaintances or friends, or one of the loved ones who have been injured in one way or another. The people themselves? The attitude has changed a lot now, but there are still many people who are a little indifferent. "I didn't touch me, well, well. " Unfortunately, they do not appreciate . . . They are not very grateful to the military for it. I see a lot of videos that even shuttle buses do not want to take the military.

Of course, there are few people, but they are. It is necessary for those people to realize a little more about how much the military [risk] that they need to help and what to do. Someone helps what can. Not directly, then some money, some sacrifices. Not everyone, for example, a woman can help, every woman cannot go to fight. Also, not every person will be able to fight, because maybe someone does not allow health. That is, he cannot even wear a bulletproof vest . . . But he can go to work and also help.

God forbid, let's get this attack from our earth . . . And a dream . . . At the very beginning of my career, I made only one shooting in Ukraine - I remember the first shooting was for Saucony sneakers. And the agency immediately sent a contract from London, the coolest agency of England, and I was confirmed on the Burberry show, on exclusive. This is very, very prestigious for any top model. And then I was New Face, it was a straight boom for me! The show should be on Monday.

I filed a visa of a visa, ordered from Kiev by the courier. I came to me that on Thursday morning, 8 o'clock, your passport will be in Kiev. They did not deliver on Thursday, they brought on Friday after lunch, but they had lazy. On Saturday, they do not work, Sunday do not work, and on Monday I no longer need. Unfortunately, it took me so.

They come to me and now the shooting invitations, but my agency (inquiries for shooting comes not to me, but to my agency) immediately says that I am not available at this moment. Ofcourse not. I would not leave. I would even if I was abroad at that moment [when the war began] - I would come. It would be even harder for me if I knew that my family, family, all friends, and I was there. No i wouldn't like. I do not condemn anyone, there are people abroad, and boys and men, everyone in their choice.
