Hello, it's 534 days since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

And there are a few videos circulating on social media of two young women basking in

Zaparizha, one playing the guitar, the other singing.

They're aged 19 and 21, Switzerland, the Simeaican and Cristina Spietzana, and they died

in the Russian missile attack on Zaparizha on Wednesday.

They were killed outside a supermarket where they used to perform and I found their tick-tock

count, and the last post there contains what said to be their last ever song, the last

of a song they performed.

And it's a song about Ukrainian soldier who goes into battle and who sings for his girlfriend,

his mother, father.

And it says, don't cry, I'll be back alive when we win this war.

Our laughter will ring out in Kharkiv, we'll be kissing in Mareupal, and we'll get married

in Kharkiv's song.

And those two young women were killed.

And also in today's episode we are going to hear directly from a Russian journalist who

will describe to us how she was brutally attacked trying to go about her job as a journalist

in Chechnya.

This is Ukraine, Cristina.

Ukraine costs from business.

Ukraine is an epicenter of unbearable heartache and pain.

millions of people are without heating, without water.
