This week it’s one year since Ukraine was invaded and the war started. Oleksandr Polishchuk and Ivan Martsilenko are students at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine. Also Jelle Bruin is guest, being head of the student parliament, Studenttinget, at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences.

Oleksandr and Ivan share their experiences from Kyiv during wartime, experiences as both being students as well as heads of student parliaments. Some of their experiences are tragic, while they also have perspectives which surprice. Oleksandr and Jelle have already for some weeks been in dialogue and together with Ivan they share some thoughts about possibilities for cooperation on student level between their universities.

Great thanks to Oleksandr and Ivan for sharing their experiences from the difficult wartime!
