Ukraine - Living with war | DW Documentary

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has changed many people’s lives beyond recognition. Missile strikes have destroyed buildings and infrastructure and killed thousands of civilians. But each day, Ukrainians are trying their best to pursue a normal life.

Journalist Vassili Golod meets Ukrainians seeking to stay positive despite the horror overtaking their country. Like electrician Oleksandr Zinchenko, who works with his colleagues to keep the power grid operating despite repeated Russian attacks. Or singer Vlada, who lost the love of her life in the war. Her partner was killed on the frontline in Bakhmut. Having no words to express her pain, she’s composing music instead and giving concerts to try to encourage other Ukrainians. Therapist Oleksandr is also busy taking care of others. He offers one week therapy programs for soldiers to help them cope with their emotions and stay as stable as possible.

We hear stories of people, stories from a warzone, told by reporter Vassili Golod. He embarks on a journey through Ukraine, also visiting Kharkiv, the city of his birth, which has been the scene of fierce bombing.

The people deserve peace, deserve to be free from this tyranny.

Incredible strength and resilience of Ukrainians is really inspiring. It's amazing how bright and positive they are despite this gruesome war, death and misery all around them. But that strong spirit will bring them stunning victory. I believe it happens soon - sooner than we all think. Loads of strength and support to our dearest neighbors <3 Sending tons of love from Warsaw <3

I am inspired by the stoic strength of Ukrainians. Thank you for showing this to us and for making it available in North America. I would love to know the names and artists for all of the music featured during the program. I love Ukrainian music. From Chicago, USA.

To have your own relatives in Russia supporting the war must be so disgusting I cannot fathom the thought of that.

Brilliant delivery again from the team...I wish the war can be over...Slava Ukraine from Africa

[UaYXxB]

Awful to watch, just wrenching, but vital to share these people's struggle.... for their common dignity and for their ability to live in autonomy. Ukrainians are simply phenomenal people, I wish them every good thing in this life. I stand with them now, and will into the future, no matter how long this wretched and criminal war lasts.
Tremendous journalism, DW .... you are such a relevant and lucid news-documentary organization.

This is a fantastic piece of journalism . A moving insight into the everyday struggle for Ukrainians . Slava Ukraini….

[fgadenz]

As always, amazing content, specially inspirational and informative.
It’s awful enough to be on Ukrainian shoes, but even worse not make their struggles public and unnoticed.
There is no way to be indifferent after watch what Russia is inflicting to the Ukrainian brave people.

[ingridakerblom]

As a finn & will forever support anyone defending themselves against russia. We know how ukraine feels. We know that giving up, becomming russia is nothing anyone outside russia would want..

[sailingonasummerbreeze]

The stories are inspirational, along with being very sad (like the story at the end). Thanks for bringing this to the world.
