| 0:00.0 | Hello listeners, welcome to this episode of Luke's English podcast. I'm recording this on the 28th of February, |
| 0:07.1 | 2022, and in this episode I'm going to talk about what's going on in Ukraine. |
| 0:13.0 | I have Leptsters, I have listeners to this podcast in both Ukraine and in Russia. |
| 0:19.0 | And the main thing I want to say, in fact, is that I just hope that my listeners are able to stay safe, |
| 0:26.0 | although that sounds a bit hollow because of course some of them, some of you, won't be able to stay safe during this and many people are being |
| 0:35.2 | forced to choose not to stay safe. |
| 0:38.1 | I mean people are essentially having to put themselves in danger either to flee to escape or to escape or to pick up weapons and defend themselves, defend |
| 0:48.8 | their people, defend their country. |
| 0:51.6 | I'm talking about the Ukrainians there. Maybe in terms of the |
| 0:55.3 | Russian people, obviously there are Russian soldiers who are fighting. Those |
| 1:00.4 | soldiers have families back in Russia and And also there are people in Russia who maybe are choosing to speak out against this, |

| 1:20.0 | Now I know this is not simple and there are various factions with different motivations in this whole conflict. |
| 1:28.0 | It's not completely black and white, but you know I think that most people just want to be able to live their lives and live the best they can, |
| 1:36.0 | but this war is making that impossible. And for what exactly? |
| 1:41.0 | Now in any case, I'm thinking of my listeners in Ukraine right now and it seems that a lot of the rest of the world is also thinking of Ukraine at the moment and sending their messages of support. |
| 1:52.0 | And I'm talking about ordinary people here right I'm talking about just ordinary |
| 1:57.4 | people not about leaders or regimes or governments I'm just talking about ordinary people. So I'm thinking about the |
| 2:04.6 | the Ukrainians, but also I want to say that I'm thinking of my Russian |
| 2:09.3 | listeners too because it's not just as simple as the Ukrainians being the good guys and the Russians |
