UA: THE DAY THAT WE SURVIVED | ep.40 | Philippe Schockweiler about Poems, Weapons, and Russian Propaganda

This episode is about municipal cooperation between Germany and Ukraine. One small example of how human kindness and desire to help can make a difference. Why and how the Trostyanets community from the West of Ukraine build ties with the Hofstetten community, which is located in the Ortenau district of the federal state of Baden-Württemberg in Germany. Martin Asmuth, the mayor of Hofstetten, spoke about cooperation between communities.

The atmosphere of the holidays in Ukraine this year is very unusual. Russian missiles instead of fireworks, blackouts instead of holiday illumination, and mobile heating points instead of Christmas fairs in the cities. Today we want to introduce some of our team members to you and tell how we prepare for the winter holidays, and also what the work on this podcast during 2022 meant to us. We all live in different cities and even countries now. You’ll hear the stories of Kateryna, the host, Natalia, the editor, Anton, our sound editor, Iryna, the illustrator, and Alina, the translator.

Enjoy! And let’s meet in 2023!

We often mention millions of Ukrainians who were forced to flee the war to other countries. But today's story is about the movement in the opposite direction. We'll talk about people who returned from abroad and joined the army. This episode has two stories. One is from Andrii who is preparing for war, and the second one is from Maksym who is already there. Podcast`s Patreon:

More than 9 million Ukrainians left the country at the beginning of the Russian invasion. You might have seen them at supermarkets, in movie theaters, or just on the streets of your country. They are no different than everybody else, except for the pain and homesickness caused by war. Today we share the stories of Halyna, Olga, and Artem, who had to flee Ukraine, managed to find jobs abroad and enrolled their kids in schools or daycare. But still, dream of coming home.
