the dust of centuries, have been removed. the stained glass windows will shine like new and not dumb might even be a little more beautiful than it was before. hooton's war has brought immense suffering and destruction to the people of ukraine. the invasion has been going on for over a year long. many had initially expected a swift victory for russia's army, one of the world's biggest, but troops in ukraine put up a fierce resistance and largely halted russia's advance. that's thanks in part to fighters like marta, a doctor from keith and her husband. there he the couple were thrust into the conflict and on to the front lines of the war. ordinary civilians who felt compelled to defend their country. ah, marta and sir he on leave from the front. it's been months since they've had the
11:37 pm
time to stroll to keep together. they've been on duty since the very 1st day of the war. this time it's like to return completely tools time before war. i could see old changes actually happens to keep, but i seen feel like it being used after a few months since the beginning of school. so now it's much is it and is, this is good to have a place where you could return from the frontline and understand that that's why the school we 1st met the couple a few weeks before rushes full scale invasion. marta and sir he had just joined ukraine's territorial defense forces, a military reserve of the countries on forces. few members had previous military
11:38 pm
experience. marta and sir he didn't either. they got training once a week in the very basics of combat. the other problem. all the stuff that you couldn't just seal and then move on to the common thought is, you know, they seems very simple. but in general, when you started to do it, it's quite difficult because you need to know how to do it correctly or not to be inventive for yourself and for your colleagues. so we provide them with a skills, very basic, but very important skill. at that time, the territorial defense forces were intended to support the military in case of war, but mainly behind the front lines. at checkpoints, for instance, a year ago, nobody knew whether or not russia would actually invade. but if war did come, martin knew she wanted to be prepared. it's difficult to
11:39 pm
explain to foreign this why via exactly know what to expect from russia. but if you happen to know history of many, many times, they just physically destroy all routes of differing s marta did not consider herself the adventurous type. before the war she'd been living an ordinary low key life. she had a house just outside cheve, a garden, and some pets. after studying medicine martyr was supervising studies for international pharmaceutical companies from home, but she sense that the tranquillity wouldn't last. it's almost impossible to imagine what will happen if i have to leave it to. if i have to just say fight and it will been destroyed, it could happens. i'm trying to be ready for this because it's still hard to say in definitely i don't want to preserve this
11:40 pm
a on the price of being live on to accomplish down that's close. more came much faster than expected for the pair was part of the defense forces. as soon as the war began with russian troops swiftly advancing on keep, their hometown became awards own sir. he was fighting in the trenches while march i served as a medic and a 1st aid station with you. yes, city is it. these days the territorial defense force is no longer stay well behind the front lines. they become active combat units and are deployed to some of the most perilous sections of the front. who i ah,
11:41 pm
marta and sir. he were both recently at the fiercely contested don bus front a i am still afraid of edison because it is a little bit late. i'm in not a little bit to is far more advanced and this, i'm still afraid. but what's already happened when i know that they have to go there, you know, i just could go otherwise, i would never go back with me now for the 1st time. a couple has some time off together, but he quickly pulled his lee. i was not really up to least to come to trust months
11:42 pm
before i have feeling that elusive treated is was big problem. it was difficult to move it from yours from supervision. but i only see how are me became stronger and they are really prone to see this but as they walk around their home town, which for now is more or less peaceful. they come across reminders of the war. in the center of kiva, the authorities have had wreckage of russian tanks on display. but the 2 have already seen plenty of those. the hypothetical situation they started preparing for over a year ago became a deadly and all too bitter reality. his mother begged him not to ride a motorcycle but italian vanny. oh dera,
