In Russia's strikes the other way, I mentioned at the beginning they also hit the railway station.
Jerome StarkeyHOST
Indeed, they hit a train in the sta- in Yahidne, which is about four miles inside Ukrainian territory from the Polish border.
Jerome StarkeyHOST
This strike happened last weekend.
Jerome StarkeyHOST
The train that was hit was the one after a VIP train carrying Britain's former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and its current national security advisor, Jonathan Powell.

And because the war is still going on and there's been repeated grief, repeated loss, that is a language that crosses those barriers.
Marco WermanHOST
Do you have any examples from Yahidne?
Natalie Roblot-TymchenkoGUEST
Yes.
Natalie Roblot-TymchenkoGUEST
So recently we've done some poetry with these groups and we had mask making as well.

They're able to normalize that their experiences on the ground in Ukraine are not normal, and there's still this immense gratitude for any international support coming in, but it's also our Ukrainian colleagues sharing their experiences back and feeling validated.
Marco WermanHOST
I'd really like to get into what this looks like on the ground, and a very recent effort of yours in Ukraine was in the village of Yahidne.
Marco WermanHOST
It was occupied by Russians in 2022.
Marco WermanHOST
The entire population of some 360 people forced into a basement for a month or so.
Marco WermanHOST
Can you remind us what happened there and how you and your nonprofit were able to help?
Nathalie Robelot-TimtchenkoGUEST
Yeah, so this was in the initial stages since the full-scale invasion.
Nathalie Robelot-TimtchenkoGUEST
Uh, Russian troops came into the village of Yahidne, and as you said, they, they forced this whole village to be in the basement for over a month.
Nathalie Robelot-TimtchenkoGUEST
There was immense loss in that space.
