Hello, it's 469 days since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine and the waters

of the Dnieper River are still rising after the breaching of the Novakukova Dam on Tuesday.

I saw the river level going up. It rose by one meter in early in the morning.

Then I went to other different locations to see how it goes, maybe help my friends.

By the lunch it was two and a half meters and we saw the local promenade underwater already.

And the United Nations is calling this a monumental catastrophe.

Here's Martin Griffiths from the UN.

The sheer magnitude of the catastrophe will only become fully realized in the coming days.

But it's already clear that it will have grave and far-reaching consequences for thousands

of people in southern Ukraine on both sides of the front line through the loss of homes,

food, safe water and livelihoods.

In this episode, I really, really want you to keep on listening because we are going to bring you

a conversation that I had with the most incredible woman called Olga, who lives in hair

sun, who has lived through so much trauma, so much upheaval, so much horror in the last year and a bit.

And she is still standing and you must stay listening to hear Olga.

No, I'm coward. I'm coward sitting in my parking place. I think that time covered.

I have to be stronger and I always say no, they will not break us.

They will not break us. I will stand it and I ask God just to give me strength to stand

to live through it and I will live through it and I'm sure. I am prepared. I have prepared all my

things. If I have to live my house, I will. But I want to see victory.

This is an extra episode of Ukraine cast.
