Transformation into Soldiers

A group of suburban women from the Kiev area transformed into a volunteer air defense unit called the 'Witches of Bucha' in response to the trauma caused by the Russian invasion. Initially ordinary citizens, their lives were irrevocably altered when Russian troops occupied their city and atrocities occurred, prompting them to take up arms. Many of these women left behind their professions, such as teaching and veterinary care, to learn how to shoot down drones threatening their homeland. By training together, they not only develop military skills but also foster deep emotional bonds, empowering one another in a time of crisis.
