Yak ty? Ukraine Live with Luzia Tschirky

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukrainians have been living through the hell of war. Far from every missile or drone attack makes headlines outside of Ukraine. Even when Russian aggression against its neighboring country is reported on, the stories of people living through the horror of war are often missing. The podcast «Yak ty? Ukraine Live» provides people in Ukraine the opportunity to talk first hand about their personal experience of Russia’s war on their country. «Yak ty?» means «How are you?» in Ukrainian. The host, Luzia Tschirky, has been reporting from Ukraine since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion. The former correspondent asks her guests from Ukraine how they have learned to carry on with their daily lives without losing hope amidst the ongoing war.
