what 1st the war has brought darkness to ukraine. rush as attack on the whole country has continued for more than a year. now. i've been covering it as a correspondent. i wanted to know what this war is doing to people and how they're coping. i found the answers that i received during this ice cold winter, deeply moving and surprising runker with and it's early morning and keith. lesson jenko family are letting me into their lives for a day. buffy i while vito goes to wake up, her daughter,

alexandra starts getting breakfast. ready? ah. literature for you have normal electricity right now i'm older. oh, yes, we have electricity because industry isn't up and running yet. they started 8. now it's only 7 so we should still have power a let us show using this year. but we live with his job as an electrician has turned him into a hero. for many more on that later. right now, he still in his pajamas and a hero for his youngest daughter because he's made her cocoa. it wasn't always in olive xander enjoys these moments of normality. when the war started a year ago, he didn't know whether life would ever be normal. again. this is going yet if we my wife said no, i'm not leading keith without you. and i told her i can't leave,

i have to work either i go to work or i go to the military and tell them to let me help where i can. but 1st was like all my colleagues vehicle that i'm part of. what you may would, is to the show and we decided right on the 1st day of the war, it to go to work. sure. and then decide who could do. what do you look to death to someone i could have signed up for military service. they'd probably have taken me one of them, but i thought it's better to do the job that i do battle was fit to be as useful as possible. let us in the year, which as you per site you put in what is question of with the doodle with folic sanders work is vital for hundreds of thousands of ukrainians and why he and his wife eat. i went to school together, but now they're responsible for 2 small children in the middle of a war zone. ah,

ah, stop the children were afraid of they've got used to it. right now. we're no longer hearing such loud noises. or as close by as a few weeks ago, which we more v ties off to work. she's employed by a medical laboratory. ah, bullock sander is taking his daughters to kindergarten on days like these without explosions or power outages. family life seems almost normal. if other than that is just howard law on the inside, you know that everything could change in a minute thought it might all seem normal, but inwardly it's a very different story of simple usual opening. inwardly it's not normal. oh

richard, don't know that we're constantly aware that we're at war, and that feeling isn't going to go away as soon as the way should handle. we hope that everything will be over by the end of the year at the latest as well. but that feeling based on all that's happened will stay with us for the rest of our lives in florida. blue russia has launched air raids on cities across ukraine. more than $100000.00 buildings have been destroyed and tens of thousands have been killed, including soldiers on both sides. and there is no end in sight. in the center of kiva, russian tanks destroyed and the fighting had been put on display like trophies. the war is ever present in the capital, but so too is the desire for normality. and

give them, you know, if there are coffee kiosks on every corner and key because this one has no power right now, but they still find a way to manage with a diesel generator is loud, it's loud and it stinks, but at least there's coffee, all the time ukrainians are looking for ways to continue their normal lives despite the war of la modified to live. i ah, next i visit bladder. together with friends, she set up the key cultural front. there a group of musicians who sing for soldiers and collect donations. they are young

and know how to have fun, but no one here has been left unscathed by the war. even if at times they appear care free. the war is reflected in their music. and i've been asking upon the mustang and the russian invasion has been a catalyst. i've never written 70 songs before. i no longer play the stuff i read before the will because it's not about me anymore. and i was just calling to remind them of citizen and it's the same with blood as new albany. yeah, there's been a change of citizen. like i said, a little walkway along the lines. oh, their work is voluntary. it gives them the strength to process their own traumas, and they hope to pass on that strength to others. then we'll wait there, nas, sam. oh, we perform for soldiers who've just come out of the hospital. for example, here, stick his voice with the lack of or but of using when we want to get them energy is that to tell them the voice? hey, we can do this. no, we're in this together that we we, the front line is here in your heart. it's not just a physical battle. yeah,

that's our message. we mustn't lose heart. why from one to fly to fem had a fire. ah ah. ah good with for their performance. they're going to a place outside. keep that we can't name for security reasons. many soldiers are supposed to be coming. but then suddenly it's no longer clear whether the cultural front will be able to perform. for a number of days, it's been coleman, keith. but now the air raid sirens go off. ah, they play down their worries with humor. oh,

but the sirens no longer were you. if there was still no idea as missiles hit the capital, we continue our journey another day, another dark early morning. so i'm at keith's central station. oh, department, monday woodstock. we're heading to the city where i was born hunt keith. it's a 5 hour trained journey east of here. a few of the city has been badly damaged and hit by power outages to because the russians have targeted the power stations with our kids and some stuff with my yeah, i my parents left hockey in 1995, taking me with them. part of my family lives in ukraine, another part in russia. i'm intrigued to know what awaits me and how to keep a similar good since

the russian invasion. these trains have brought millions of people to safety, allowing them to flee the fighting. despite continuing attacks, the trains are still running and they're on time. for many, they've been a life saver. on the train, i mean, oh lena, a year ago, she fled is zoom in eastern ukraine for the west of the country. her city was occupied for months. now she's returning home for the 1st time. it's going to be true for sure. how do you feel about returning with business that you left? it's been destroyed. i've now house to a 1010 people the shuttle. so i'm going to my son in biloxi as well. okay, you, i desperately wanted to go back home with it's all i want was, i'm just tired of it all. so going home. why?

like so many others. she's tired of being afraid. chunky is ukraine's 2nd biggest city. it's located in the northeast of the country, close to the russian border. the district of sal tv cup was previously home to almost 1000000 people. now, it's a ghost town. lydia's 8th floor apartment was one of many that was destroyed with a with,

with thoughts what i did. they say they're going to rebuild it. but how's that going to happen? no, get them was the, was the normally when i did with this voice, suddenly lydia has only come back because she and her family are looking for a bible. she tells me it's an old family heirloom. this place was her home for 3 decades. would. mm hm. mm the outer wall of lydia's apartment like just 30 kilometers from the russian border . mm. with us. i live here. yvonne, warner and these are all apartments have lydia?

lydia lived down there with her husband. is up for dish free. it's really difficult to find the right words, but this place, this devastation shows the full extent of just how brutal this war is, is of unrestricted. yet suddenly there's a brief moment of joy used to be a it's a bible dating back to 19 i for the spin in our family for generations. and you and my son has just found it to you. it seemed you use it just as joel willis more to pluck, as i did just when you read, i'm keen to catch a glimpse of this precious item that has stirred such a motion. her son brings the bible over for us to have a look. and thankfully, it's all intact. give the thought they gather up a few other precious belongings and all they have left of their home.

mm hm. in view of all the devastation, i can't stop thinking about lydia's question. how can all this be rebuilt? ah ah, back and keith, electrician, alexander, is about to start his 12 hour shift you've got. everyone has their own frontline, for some are directly on the front line facing the enemy with a machine gun is what we have our own frontline here with its own challenges. and right now i'm in the right place. i don't know about the future. maybe i'll take up

arms to at some stage to defend my country. no one can rule that out right now on the look a shout that said no neighbor kusha anecdote. let us all look sanders frontline, is the battle to keep the capital supplied with electricity. since october power stations have been under attack, it's his job to prevent lengthy power outages and keith gillard right now we have 50 to 60 percent of the power that would normally be available. 35 percent of that is set aside for critical infrastructure in a day before from 9 am. each day industry is operating at full capacity. so then more households have to go without electricity whatsoever because industry has to keep going so that there is bread. pasta tanks, if they're even produce in our country, who knows? i owe lic sander works with konstantin for the past 6 years. they've been a team traveling from one electricity sub station to another. and keeping that

local power grid, running smoothly. but their job has taken on a whole new significance since the start of the war. they control the flow of electricity to ensure no one is without power completely. although everyone has to do without for a few hours each day. it's a nerve wracking job. they're constantly repairing what the russian attacks have destroyed. so electricians are now often seen as heroes and ukraine. just with do you sense that in your daily work was labeled research. people have started treating us with more respect because they understand now how important we are before the war. we were basically invisible. horror was just always there. and if there was a power cut in every one got upset, wondering what we were playing and fire. now i think there are more understanding and respect us, at least i hope they do. little dominion. we know assisted in us is miserable. all the use of that image. the neighbors have even started questioning. they used to

think were just some random guy, because meanwhile, the cultural front is getting ready to go on stage. despite the sirens, the missile attacks and sub 0 temperatures in the hall, louder and the other musicians have decided to perform for the soldiers. including anton, he's with a battalion, an eastern ukraine, a year ago he was an i t specialist. now, he's a soldier to see the school. all joining the army is emotionally much easier than remaining a civilian. if you're a civilian, you're constantly thinking about what you can do. do you donate money? how practically? runaway, there are numerous options. joining the army is very easy. you turn up and all your questions are gone. you know exactly what you have to do a little bit better than i do. you have a wife and children. look at how old are your children. and i think i have a 5 year old daughter able to stall at questions. does she ask you when you're at

home, you got more that long? are you staying? you're leaving is probably the hardest part from him. anton tells me he actually left his family before he needed to because he was afraid if he stayed longer, it would be even harder to say good bye. what happens from light breaks down then there's systemic contradiction. my name, civilized that has come up to the society name supplies that was pure and i was held in the embrace of a man was and he is almost every one here in this hall has been on the front line. and after a few days off at home, they'll be going back there. please let us put us and we find ourselves soon. these

men will be returning to the fiercely contested city of buck. mood is on a true rosseters much worse. a person may end up living in the very place where the love of land has life was killed just a few months ago. the model number, can you put into words what you felt when you heard that news or the fair those no no music but you can express it in music. yeah. walter, yes. and i was in the theater when it happened to me in the soviet his comrade wrote to me to push a previous he just wrote, hello. yeah, that i did. and i knew immediately that my boyfriend was either wounded or dead. i didn't. he wrote that my boyfriend had fallen. i ran out of the theater and sat down on the balcony. he said you are a boy, i can't remember that moment a moment. the 1st there was a break, a crescent, and every one went outside and i just sat there and cried yet without 15. but i

don't remember the 1st week after his death was told that about the bassoon was a key. but i composed a lot of music for him. fisher, my mother, and that's all i have. there was a new window with some i don't have anything more precious garage and i've written 10 songs for him. it's like he lives on in the songs with

oh, video, we noticed some of the soldiers had tears in their eyes of the breed. though, yes, it's certainly true for me, but also for the others. who did we become more sentimental? yes, i can hear a song and immediately start crying ross that wouldn't have happened before was that this little but i don't think that's a bad thing. oh, more for the little young boomer to po hm. ah

. next, we travel to another location that i can't reveal at ortiz, that because soldiers come here to receive psychological support. and the aim is to treat symptoms of battlefield trauma out to stop them getting worse, are allowed than the li since last summer. alexander has offered a one week therapy program for soldiers, but julie's got a why he offers various treatments. but the main focus is on conversational therapy with a truck with with martin. how do you manage to convince the soldiers to take part with you? but from ortho recover, the garage, they all talk sooner later in that you the pools on 1st and foremost, they just need to talk a little which should be harder. they need to talk about the problems that will probably in which you would show on the discussion, the more they talk about their problems, the easier it will be for them later on. shem busher, the more they try to hide their problems, the worst. the repercussions are, we can even end and suicide me. how do you wanna reduce with civil shaw? a is project is not financed by the state,

but relies on donations, most of which come from other european countries knew what there are 80 places on the program with on that he is part of the latest group to arrive to worry about the bill that can be arranged a few hours ago, he was on the front line. she strove of him, a boy in english, gothic, which is like a switch off your mind during battle. he pathetic. would you the disposing of the clothes and you returned to your unit so that you rest and relax? would you severe? whatever you did, and it's only one or 2 weeks later that you start to analyze everything that you've experienced to bo. gotcha. and then you realize that a bullet flew right past your head. a mine exploded right near you to the food over the holiday. it was a miracle that you didn't get flattened by a tank. and you realize there were dozens of times when you could have been killed to pretty much do it or not. what else? and only den, do you think?

wow, i survived the crew to rush for useful. i'm now heading to a small town just 15 kilometers from the russian border. it was one's home to 6000 people in. i'm wearing a bullet proof vest as the area could come under fire any time for months. the village of slots in a sustained, heavy shelling. it's now almost completely destroyed, but a few 100 people have returned, including a medical doctor called luke mila booth. this is the only area where they can be, the rest is all been destroyed later than we offer profitable. but how do you manage to work here? everything's in ruins, which is sort of the rule from all. how do we just work? i like this. this is how it's been in the war. we just live and work those who are mentally strong back. our children are fighting our husbands advising and we're working here on our own front line in the home for with leon miller poplin and co

is now the only doctor for her entire community. she shows me the part of the clinic where she works before there was a separate treatment area just for children. but now it's too badly damaged and the power and heating no longer work apart from ludmilla and to nurses. there is no one else working at the clinic. ah, ah, oh, hang your saltisha or destroy your entire body. it destroys both your outward body and your emotions. your cardiovascular system and central nervous system suffer must this product mm. the house belonging to victoria, one of the nurses working with ludmilla, is right nearby. but there's not much left of it.

victoria has relatives living across the border in russia. they support the war against ukraine. leaves the actual address bullion we used to las when i was younger, we used to drive over to russia to visit them just to roast and a half. now old family ties have been savage. there's a, there's a dog. they even say that it's our own fault. and that with firing it, how so suddenly subsidy, that is how my relatives talk my it was doing you get the good. mm. now victoria is living in a rented apartment in hot keith. she takes the bus to work, and every day she passes the ruins of her old life.

ah, it's just before 9 pm, when electrician alexander and said shift normally the streets would be brightly lit during his drive home. but for more than a year now, nothing has been normal coupled with i'm wondering how this young family feels when they think about the future. when his name was, she thought we don't know whether the next air raid sirens will mean a missile hits our house or another building or whether will be hit when we're driving somewhere in the car. and it's not just missiles, there are combat drones too. you can get busy from them,

we worry about our children and what future they will have on the we want them to have a future in this country. we don't want to have to send them to school abroad because it's safer there. that's what we think about stuff. yes. but with jobs both, it's just a life and ukraine is a daily battle. a constant threat of danger and the fighting on many different fronts is grueling way. but ukrainians have come together to help one another. and they're drawing strength from that they all share this one hope of a future without attacks. when the darkness lifts a life without war. with
