TRIGGER WARNING.
Producer's note and script from the intro: Today’s episode contains a description of a sexual and violent attack on a child so I urge you to take caution while listening to this episode. I know that you are aware that this is a podcast about the realities of a war on the ground with real people and this was inevitably a possibility in terms of its content. One of the unique things about Yuriy’s episodes, and the reason I personally am drawn to it, is that while they are informative and grounded in the grim truths of an unjust war - he tends to find some light and human experience within all the darkness. However, in today’s episode, he doesn’t find any. So again, I urge you to listen with caution and give yourself space to process.
