We have all seen the ongoing invasion of Ukraine across news and social media, and read the stories of people having to evacuate their homes, cities and country to escape. We have heard of colleagues within the industry that are caught in this conflict, and heard from companies that are working on ways to help their staff find safety and supplies.

We spoke with Lyudmila Milenina, CEO at First Sport Media. Lyudmila talks to us after having only left Ukraine 3 days before, recounting the challenges that faced being a citizen, a mother, and a leader through such unprecedented times. In her own words, Lyudmila tells us the brutal honesty of her experience, and her feelings during these times, and we honour that by sharing with you this unedited interview.
