Ukraine must prevail in this war. The UK must not turn its back on international development. The US must not let Putin win.

Slava Ukraini

We spoke to Ukraine’s politicians and governors who fight with their own grief to continue to be there for their country.

We have been so lucky and feel so fortunate to work with incredible people in an incredible Country. We are looking forward to sharing their stories with the UK.

We spoke to victims of war crimes committed by Putin’s Russia. Came face to face with evidence of war crimes.

We spoke to young people forced to flee their homes, not knowing if their families were safe.

We spoke to people, normal Ukrainians who were victims of air raids targeting civilians.

It is thanks to UK Foreign Aid and formerly programmes like USAID that have assisted in Ukraine changing how it helps its veterans and people. Mental health is now an important factor, as is the multi-disciplinary approach to trauma.

We visited the medical rehabilitation centres at Unbroken and Superhumans to see the groundbreaking advances in prosthetics. Drone warfare is having an inhumane impact with over 1300 amputees passing through just one of the specialist hospitals a year - record numbers with multiple amputations.

This weather event has been unprecedented for this part of Manchester post the creation of the flood defences. More properties have been damaged than 2020 and 2022. A big thank you to all the services and volunteers who are still working to make sure people are looked after.
