It has been nearly six months since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine. Yet for the millions of Ukrainians affected by the conflict, these past few months have felt like a lifetime.  

Recently, NZ Herald investigative reporter Nicholas Jones spent a week in Ukraine, in the cities of Kyiv and Irpin. 
 
There, he spoke to one Kiwi woman who gave everything up to bring her skills to Ukraine, as well as many Ukrainians trying their best to survive.  

Today, Damien talks to Nicholas about his trip and what he saw on the ground in Ukraine.
