To mark Christmas Day, he reads a short Christmas story which touches on some of the challenges Ukrainians face this winter.

‘Miracle in the Darkness’ is a short story from the book ‘Brave Tales’ by Iryna Vyhovska and Victoria Murovana. It was published by ACCA, in association with Suspilne media.
