Ukraine Uncovered: Life on the Front Line with Combat Medic Brandon Mitchell #21

Listen Later

1,300 miles separate London from Kyiv, a distance that affords us the luxury to conveniently ‘forget’ that Ukraine remains under attack.


Brandon Mitchell is not given that same luxury - a combat medic who’s seen the very best that humanity can give, and the very worst that war strips from us.

He’s returning to continue his heroic work, having survived a land mine explosion, but while he’s in the UK we have the chance to hear him share the reality of war that we seldom see in the news.

CONTENT WARNING: Some of the topics in this episode are discussed in graphic detail which some listeners may find distressing.
