Summary

FOX correspondent Benjamin Hall almost died while covering the Ukraine war when he was struck during a Russian missile attack. Since his rescue from the warzone nearly two years ago, he has undergone dozens of surgeries and undergone countless amounts of rehabilitation. Last month, Hall returned to Ukraine for the first time, where he sat down with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss the current state of the war. Hall joined host Dave Anthony after his trip to discuss his return, his interview with Zelensky, and the launch of his new podcast, "Searching for Heroes." Hall weighed in on the war in Ukraine and how for many Americans, it has been overshadowed by the war in Israel. He also discussed his passion for journalism and the importance of war reporting. We made edits for time and thought you might like to hear our entire conversation with FOX News' Ben Hall. On today's FOX News Rundown Extra, you'll hear more about Ben's inspiring story.
