The Pulitzer prizes have honoured the journalists of Ukraine.

Ukrainian journalists often have to work in extremely difficult circumstances. Some of them are working under fire, and some have been forced to leave their occupied cities. In more than two months, Russian invaders have killed more than 20 Ukrainian and foreign journalists. We have recorded for you three Ukrainian journalists who continued to do their job boldly and professionally during the war.

10 million hryvnias in 3.5 hours have been raised by showman and philanthropist Serhiy Prytulа for a bayraktar drone.  Stefania from the precarpathian region has sheltered 25 people from Kharkiv, Kyiv and Kryvyi Rih in her house.

In these difficult times, millions of ukrainians were forced to flee their homes. We have already talked about those who went abroad, about those saving animals in zoos and eco-parks, and today we are talking about pets. These are our friends, whom we bought and packed in carry-ons, boxes, jars, and cars. For some of them, this was the first trip in their lives. But some people, fleeing the shelling, left their pets on the street. That is such a terrible truth because this is a real war.

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.
