First responders in wartime Ukraine

Russian forces attack civilian areas, including residential buildings, on a near-daily basis in Ukraine. The response to such attacks requires the urgent involvement of unique specialists. Rescuers of the Mobile Rescue Center of the State Emergency Service come to the sites of aerial attacks to sort through the most difficult rubble in search of living and dead people. We followed them to the training base and to the scene of an attack in Kyiv to understand what it takes to be a first responder in wartime Ukraine.
