The Perfect Checkpoint Guy - March 24th 2022

March 24th 2022

The war in Ukraine has been raging for 4 weeks - thanks to the will of the Ukranian people for holding off the Russian attack. Yuriy seems more used to his role as a civilian turned military man. He reflects on when he was a journalist dealing with civilians in the army in war-torn countries, how annoyed he used to get with them when they wouldn't allow him to photograph or film things for safety reasons and how he now sees their side.
