12. Veterans in Ukraine Justice Studio Sessions

Welcome to Episode 12 of Justice Studio Sessions. In this episode we discuss the situation for veterans in war torn Ukraine. The Russo-Ukrainian war, which began in 2014 and has escalated since 2022, is affecting the whole country. We delve into the experiences of the men and women fighting in the conflict, and how the different waves have affected their ability to reintegrate into society.

We are extremely lucky to be joined from Ukraine by Ivona Kostyna. Ivona is the co-founder of Veteran Hub and is a Kyiv-based expert in veterans affairs with nine years of practical experience designing and launching non-governmental programs of support for veterans and their families in Ukraine. She is also a spouse of a Ukrainian warrior.

As well as understanding how the conflict has affected the veterans and people currently, fighting in the war, we set out how this experience has affected the families of the veterans and how Ukrainians are having to acclimatise to continuing threat.
