German television station RTL was in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The report accompanies Dymtro, still recovering from leg injuries, and Natalia, who lives in constant fear for her husband, who volunteered to defend Ukraine.
When more than a thousand days of war have passed, Dymtro knows that even victory has losses and Ruslan draws to distract himself from the war. No Ukrainian has survived without scars, physical or psychological, and everyone has lost someone close to them.
For Natalia, in the absurd logic of war, her husband’s injuries are good news: they mean he is still alive and will leave the front.
