We're joined by a resident of Odesa who has lived through the full-scale invasion since 2022. After our main episode on the war, we felt it was important to hear a Ukrainian perspective. In this conversation, we explore the psychological impact the war is having on Odesa's residents and how their resilience is evolving, particularly as Russia's naval power continues to falter.
