The adrenaline from the battle has barely worn off and this is the first time they share what they lived through.

But Russian forces have retreated from the small town of Borodyanka, so we hear from four of the town’s defenders.RESISTANCE: Stories from Ukraine is a harrowing and inspirational journey across Ukraine in the first weeks of Russia’s invasion.
