This episode is available now to Telegraph subscribers and will
be available to everyone on the 17th July.


In the first of The Telegraph's special podcasts on the war in
Ukraine. Presenter David Knowles and Producer Adélie
Pojzman-Pontay travel to Bucha and Hostomel, north of Kyiv, to
hear the stories of citizens who survived Russia's brutal
occupation in Spring 2022. 


In Hostomel they meet Roman, a young Ukrainian man who fled his
new apartment as Russian forces advanced. When he returned after
the liberation he discovered the disgusting ways the occupying
troops had treated his home.


Then, they travel to Bucha to see an old friend, Ihor Savchenko.
Two years on from the occupation of Bucha, Ihor is helping his
community piece their lives back together even though the war
threatens to engulf him once again. 


We first met Ihor's daughter Katya in 2022 - listen to that
