“Ukrainian audio journalists have come together to create the UA: The day that we survived.

The podcast tells the truth about Russia's war against Ukraine.

Our goal is to feature what is really happening in Ukraine by sharing only verified information and real stories of people.

We asked Ukrainians from different corners of the country to record their audio stories about events taking place in their city or village, their emotions and feelings, daily routines, life in the shelters, and their ways of fighting the enemy.”

The city is located on the coast of the Azov Sea, in the south-eastern area of Ukraine, in Donetsk Oblast. It is a major port,an industrial center of the country, and, most importantly, my home.

Mariupol received a status of a hero-city on the 6th of March 2022. This rank manifests acts of heroism and resilience of the city’s inhabitants during fighting Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine.

For the last couple of days, we have been shocked by what happened in Bucha. Bucha, Irpin, Hostomel, Motyzhyn and other towns and cities where Russian soldiers stayed have been destroyed and robbed. Should we remind how those cities were happy, self-sufficient and peaceful until the 24th of February?

But the war continues and many other cities continue to suffer from the russians. In this episode, Oksana from Mariupol and Sasha from Kyiv are talking about their life, hometowns and emotions.

In these difficult times, millions of ukrainians were forced to flee their homes. We have already talked about those who went abroad, about those saving animals in zoos and eco-parks, and today we are talking about pets. These are our friends, whom we bought and packed in carry-ons, boxes, jars, and cars. For some of them, this was the first trip in their lives. But some people, fleeing the shelling, left their pets on the street. That is such a terrible truth because this is a real war.

Petko has seen with his own eyes what happened to Bucha, Irpin, and other small towns in Kyiv oblast under the Russian occupation. Now he continues his volunteering activities from Kyiv.

The war in Ukraine is not only the plot but also the context for the film industry to develop. Since Russia's full-scale invasion, film director and producer Kostiantyn Kliatskin and his crew filmed a dozen shorts about people in de-occupied and near-the-frontline territories. They even managed to release a full-screen documentarу in Kyiv cinema, despite personal exhaustion, lack of funds, and the team scattered in different parts of Ukraine.

A few days ago, Philippe got a tattoo with the portrait of the Ukrainian writer Lesia Ukrainka.

This conversation is about art and weapons, the influence of Russian propaganda in Europe, and much more.
