From surviving the horrors of Bucha to rebuilding a career and life in the United Kingdom — a powerful story of resilience, trauma, and hope.

In this episode of the "Cold Coffee" podcast, host Iva Lomas talks with Anna, a Ukrainian lawyer whose family narrowly survived being shot at by Russian troops in their car while attempting to flee Bucha during the early weeks of the war.

Tragedies that reshape nations and shatter everyday life leave lasting scars — just as 9/11 forever changed America, the ongoing war in Ukraine continues to destroy homes, lives, and the sense of safety for millions. Today, the crisis is far from over, and vulnerable Ukrainians still urgently need global solidarity and shelter.
