Ukraine – No Rest, No Peace
Note: This episode uses artificial intelligence to translate and dub the voice of Jan Jessen into English.
The war in Ukraine has entered its fourth year – and while politicians talk, many Ukrainians fight simply to survive. In this episode of "In Crisis Mode", FUNKE war reporter Jan Jessen brings voices from a nation under fire: people who have lost friends, homes, and hope – but not their resolve. How do Ukrainians view the stalled peace talks? What is daily life like under drones and artillery? And what should the West do now?
Artem Lysak, journalist from Kyiv
“Trump talks about money. But does he even understand this war?”
Andrij Melnyk, former Ukrainian ambassador
“Germany must take a stand: weapons, sanctions, red lines.”
Mitya, frontline soldier in the east
“It’s a drone war. And the fear of ending up in the meat grinder is real.”
Kateryna Trapeznikova, field medic
“We work on broken roads, with wounded comrades, and no time to stop.”
Jan Jessen, war reporter
“I saw graveyards growing. And people who still refuse to give up.”
