Eugenia Seleznova is an author, editor and artist from Ukraine. In the third episode of Roots & Routes, we’re examining a broader context of climate-driven migration with her: the context of war. 

There is a war happening in Ukraine right now, which harms not only people but also natural resources and wildlife. In this episode, I speak with Eugenia about recent environmental catastrophes, growing up in post-Chornobyl Ukraine and the ongoing nuclear threats that further darken the days in war-torn Ukraine.

Consider supporting Ukraine:
