Hello. I can't start engine. First of all, I charged my car battery full, but that won't worked... What else can be? I put video with sound, maybe someone knows.

Sounds like it's not getting fuel, how old is the fuel pump?
-
I bought car in 2020 year, so don't know. I changed filters and oil. Nothing else... So how to know?
-
An obvious question but is there fuel in the tank and correct fuel.
-
Fuel is, more then half...

I can't listen to the audio so was wondering if you can look at these questions and provide soon further background.
Add any other oddities from its usual running that come to mind.
What had happened prior to and/or caused the battery for you having to charge it?
How old is the battery?
Is the battery the correct one/size for the car?
Have you had it tested to make sure it holds enough charge to start the starter?
Did it start normally, first or 2nd turn, prior to this issue/you having to charge it?
Was there any unusual or differences to the way the engine was running prior to this issue?
Has the car just been serviced?
If so, when and what was done?
Have you tried your spare key just in case the chip/ immobiliser is not working with your current key?
Is it possible there is interference from power lines? .
This has been reported previously as a source of preventing cars starting.
Hopefully others may be able to help.

Thanks for your answers.
If you have breakdown/home call out cover it may be worth calling them as they will have testers and should be able to diagnosis the problem.
