This week's Anne Levine Show takes a slightly different path as Michael is out of commission after injuring his back. This week's show is a conversation with Sarah Cirillo, an American serving as a Combat Medic in the Ukrainian Army Forces. This interview will be featured on Anne's show, Ukraine 24/2 as an edited, polished product. We have included the raw conversation with no editing here.

Also, about 12 hours after talking with Anne, Sarah was injured on the battlefield. She is ok but lost part of her hand and earned a few scars.

Thanks for tuning in.
