Solutions From Ukraine podcast

Since the start of the full-scale war, Russians have launched six thousand missiles and more than three thousand drones. The absolute majority targeted civilians, disrupting thousands of Ukrainian lives. But Ukraine has a chance to start reconstruction during the war – paradoxically or not, Ukraine has already started the recovery process. In this episode, we describe solutions that Ukraine's people implement with the Recovery Window project.

Hosts: Vladyslav Faraponov, Rubryka’s editor, and Anastasia Rudenko, Rubryka’s editor in chief
