It's 177 days since Russian forces invaded Ukraine.

Next week it will be six months since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine began

and we are going to be going back to look at some of the stories that we've brought you

over the past half a year on Ukrainecast.

And as part of that programme we really want to feature your thoughts on the most startling

or extraordinary or shocking things you've heard on this podcast from people whose lives

have been changed forever by this war.

It could be Max who was unbelievably lucky to survive when his family was hit by a Russian

missile.

And we were preparing the food and luckily we were all together in the kitchen and while

the missile hit and it was like a complete hell immediate breakout fire.

It might be Anna who was sheltering in her bathroom, in her home in Harkiv.

So you have to be behind at least two walls.

Maybe it was Victoria's experience of witnessing the death of her daughter and husband.

And I heard him say, get out of the car and I hadn't managed to understand whether

it was the mine or whether it was a shell when I heard the explosion.

Anything that stayed with you do let us know.

Whatever it may be, please tell us what it was with a voice note or a message.

Like Claire from Cheshire here in the UK, a listener from day one, this is what she wrote.

I can't even imagine how hard an emotional it's been to investigate the horrors of the

war.
