The heroes of these stories have personally endured the harsh realities of war. But today, they continue to live, and rebuild what the Russians destroyed.

We will explore their first-hand accounts in the Healed Lands podcast. The Reporters. team has written 8 stories, highlighting the lives of the liberated communities in the Sumy, Kyiv, Chernihiv regions. They tell stories of Ukrainians who neither give up, nor wait for outside help. But instead, breathe life into their communities.

These stories, grounded in their personal experience of war, belong to the survivors, who not only find the strength to persevere, but also share it with others. Inspire, and motivate, even though the war continues.

The podcast is part of the project «De-occupied: stories of the liberated territories.» Supported by the Heinrich Böll Foundation, Kyiv office, Ukraine.
