Yeah, so there's two couples that I mostly profiled.
So it was Olga and Andrei, and then also Irina and Sergei.
And what I wanted to look at was how the Ukraine war has affected personal relationships, particularly because men of a certain age were barred from leaving Ukraine.
And I spent time, particularly with women, but I actually managed to meet both of those men as well when they did get leave unexpectedly.
And yeah, just to talk to them about...
What this has meant for their relationship since the full scale invasion, you know, they barely see each other, but they've managed to stay together.
Yeah.
exactly and you know the really touching thing about going to ukraine was like um these people they really wanted to speak about this because they felt like war it is also personal and the impacts on your personal life they are really significant and maybe overlooked or not really understood and um yeah speaking to them at length about this it was really kind of uh meaningful i
Exactly.
And that was what the men, when I met the men, finally, that was what they wanted to speak about, the mental health ramifications and how, you know, you can come back, but you can't adjust.
You can be like, you know, nervous to be in crowds or being very, very jumpy.
You know, you're, yeah, the mental health impact is really.
Yeah, or even seeing crowds and just thinking, you know, all of these people could be killed at any moment.
You know, what they were saying is, you know, you need to control your surroundings.
Often you won't even leave your apartment for a few days.
Yeah, so this is northern Iraq.
I went to Mosul, which was occupied by ISIS at one point.
Yeah, large portions were destroyed.
And I met a couple called Marwa and Saif, and they had a secret wedding while ISIS was in control.
They fell in love through these secret phone calls they used to have.
