This is an IHeart podcast.

Welcome to the Tudor Dixon podcast.

Today we are going to take you over to the Ukrainian and Russian war that is going on,

but we're going to take you to kind of a different aspect of that,

and that is the moms and the women that are left behind.

Something that I think that we are very spoiled

here in America. We don't really think about what happens when your husband goes off to a war

that he's unprepared for or when a war occurs and maybe in some cases the men just leave the

family. And the men who come home are suffering from PTSD and

sometimes they leave the family. What we haven't heard in the United States enough, I think,

is that there is a massive amount of women who are not only on the ground fighting, but they are

in the house fighting with their kids every day

to make sure that they have food, to make sure that they have clothes, to make sure that their

kids are getting education in the middle of a war zone, something that we just don't experience

here. We have so much protesting and so many people on either side of these wars that are going on worldwide

who really have no intimate connection to what's happening on the ground. And I got this

pitch. And sometimes, you know, you probably wonder how we decide which podcasts we want to do.

But every so often, something comes in my email box and I go, wow,

that is something I want to know more about. And I hope you guys want to know more about it, too.

So we are blessed today to have Christy Mock with us and Olexandra Abramchuk, both people who are

working with groups in Ukraine. Olexandra, she came to the United States from Ukraine.

She is one of those moms.
