Перші люди #9 Слава Балбек, архітектор: про плавання з косатками, 30% токсичних проєктів і план порятунку Києва

For the last couple of days, we have been shocked by what happened in Bucha. Bucha, Irpin, Hostomel, Motyzhyn and other towns and cities where Russian soldiers stayed have been destroyed and robbed. Should we remind how those cities were happy, self-sufficient and peaceful until the 24th of February?

But the war continues and many other cities continue to suffer from the russians. In this episode, Oksana from Mariupol and Sasha from Kyiv are talking about their life, hometowns and emotions.

In this episode the podcast host Kateryna Lytvynchova is talking about her hometown Mariupol.

The city is located on the coast of the Azov Sea, in the south-eastern area of Ukraine, in Donetsk Oblast. It is a major port,an industrial center of the country, and, most importantly, my home.

Mariupol received a status of a hero-city on the 6th of March 2022. This rank manifests acts of heroism and resilience of the city’s inhabitants during fighting Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine.

Ukrainian audio journalists have come together to feature what is really happening in Ukraine by sharing only verified information and real stories of people.

This episode is about animals and their salvation during the war. We talk about zoos, menageries, the rescue of bears and bats.

Two kangaroos died in Kharkiv. Zoos are under occupation in the Kyiv region and Berdyansk. The situation with animals during the war differs from case to case — sometimes people save only themselves because of hopelessness.

This episode is about people who took up arms after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, although they didn’t have any combat experience and never served in the army before. Today's heroes are mostly humanities graduates who never thought that they would fight.
