"When I studied at school, I had a classmate from Latvia. We sat at the same desk and that's how I started to understand the Latvian language," says Allu Grušecka. In a conversation with Dīvs Reiznieks she speaks about learning the Latvian language in Ukraine and Allu's work at the Ukrainian War Museum. It is a place created to shed light on the events of the Second World War, currently taking on the mission of documenting the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.

This is a complete interview without translation from the Latvian Radio’s podcast "Drošinātājs" (“The Fuse”), dedicated to the people of Ukraine and their fight against Russian aggression.
