What's it like trying to equal parent during wartime?

My guests in this episode, Dmytro and Ksenia, live with their daughter in Kyiv. In this episode, they talk to me about their experience deciding to become parents whilst their country was at war, and what it has been like trying to share the responsibilities of parenthood equally with few role models or like-minded parents to compare notes with.
