Episode notes

Ukraine's resistance to russia's invasion has been brave and unexpectedly fierce. But the war has also damaged ukraine's artistic, cultural and architectural heritage. The city worst hit is harket, which is near the eastern border with russia. A lot has been damaged already, and there are dreadful fears for what might be to come.

For decades, Germany was doctrinally pacifist: a legacy left over from the second world war. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has changed that, seemingly overnight. As Russia’s military advance has stalled, it has turned its firepower against civilian targets, resulting in widespread death, but also in the destruction of Ukraine’s cultural legacy. And remembering one of the many brave, ordinary Ukrainians, fallen in defence of their country.
