a blue the outer wall of lydia's apartment lies just 30 kilometers from the russian border . those others here, vaughn, warner and these are all apartments of lydia. lydia lived down there with her husband, except verbiage for 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. if, if uncle created yet suddenly, there's a brief moment of joy. he used to be a, it's a bible dating back to 19 i for the speech in our family for generations. you and

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, lik sander, works with konstantin for the past 6 years. they've been a team traveling from one electricity sub station to another and keeping the 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 in ukraine. just with do

you sense that in your daily work was labeled, this is people have started treating us with more respect because they understand now how important we are before the war. we were basically invisible, that tara was just always there. and if there was a power cut, everyone 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 with nor citizen us is municipal, all young ladies as that emissions. the neighbors have even started greeting me. they used to think were just some random guy, so they called the meanwhile, the cultural front is getting ready to go on stage. despite the sirens, the missile attacks and sub 0 temperatures in the hall, florida 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 with

a switch off your mind during battle. he battled dick, would you the disposing of the clothes and you returned to your unit solid, you rest and relax. would you submit whatever you did and it's only one or 2 weeks later that you start to analyze everything that you've experienced to bow. 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 put my foot, i know what aunt and only dan, do you think? wow, i survived the corridors for bristol i'm now heading to a small town, just 15 kilometers from the russian border. it was one's home to 6000 people. 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, as though have been destroyed to wait. and we are part of your what, but how do you manage to work here? everything's in ruins, which is sort of the roof from all. i know we just work. i like this. this is how it's been in the won't we just live and work those who i mentally strong back. busy our children are fighting a husbands, a fighting, and we're working here on our own front line in my bathroom, for with leon mila pablo. and then 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 lead. mila, and to nurses, there is no one else working at the clinic. ah,

i'm wondering how this young family feels when they think about the future. one is 9, was she thought we don't know whether the next air raid sirens will mean a missile hits our house, saw, 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 to get busy. when we worry about our children and what future, they will have a look on the we want them to have a future in this country. that's why 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, the bose is just double w to bubble with 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
