Ready? Ready. Hey, do listening to Rough Translate. Wow, man, this is Rough Translation.

I'm Gregory Warner and that voice is Molly. Molly Webster. Molly Webster of Radio Lab is here

with me in the studio because we have been working on this collaboration. It's been months

in the making that kind of sits at the intersection of both our shows. Yeah. But I won't say

anything more about that. We'll find out why. Just a heads up. This episode does deal with some

sensitive issues, including sexual violence and war. And it comes to us from a colleague

that both of us have worked with. A colleague who was telling us a number of stories about Ukraine

and one of them just left out to us. It starts with this woman, if Gennia, she's Ukrainian and she

moved back to Ukraine two days after the full-scale invasion. So late February. She moved to Ukraine.

Yeah. And within days of being on the ground in Ukraine, she had set up an NGO. And the NGO was

all about getting supplies to Ukrainians during the war. A lot of times it had to do with medical

supplies. And so she would use Facebook. Here's the list of meds or generator or whatever.

And people was like, yeah, let's help. And she'd throw out these requests and she would just see

like donations would come rolling in. And it was amazing to her. And then one day.

I made a post. We're looking for money to buy body bags. We just understood that it's not

enough body bags in Ukraine. For Ukrainian soldiers. For anyone. Every human being have to be

passed in a normal way. But this post, it's like a two or three two and health likes. It actually

only gets like five likes and two sad tear emojis. And not enough donations. It's like people didn't

donate just because they didn't want to be associated with body bags. Yeah, it's like

you can't donate a body bag or even think about a body bag donation without thinking, oh God,

we're out of body bags. Like, you know, if someone's asking for 200 body bags, that's 200 dead.

But somebody need to do this. That's life.
