I'm Kimberly Atkins' store in for Magna Chakrabardi and this is on point.

It's been just under a year since Russia invaded Ukraine, a year that has transformed

the lives of every Ukrainian.

So this hour we're going to hear from Ukrainians about what they've been through these past

12 months.

And how, if they do, they find hope.

The Ukrainians like Julia Tamashenko and her father Sergei Tamashenko.

When the Russian invasion began, on February 24 last year, Julia and her mother fled to

Levyv, close to the Polish border.

Her father Sergei chose to stay in Zvorici, the small village where Julia grew up and from

where her father commuted to his job in the capital Keefe.

Sergei told us about that moment when he realized that his village was an early target of Russian

forces.

Julia relays his story.

On 6th of March, he was returning back and he usually takes a train.

And the train stopped like one stop before our village, so in the village nearby, because

going to our village, the bridge, which also would connect the train, was destroyed.

Sir, he got off the train and walked across a footbridge to cross the river into his

village.

And as he says, direct call, when I was walking into the village, the people were running

towards me and yelling, where are you going?

Like, turn around because they're already tanks approaching.
