Communicating during a war

Transcript

My family and my friends,

they use the words so precisely.

It's very deep communication.

We can talk about plans, health, death,

what have changed, what has changed,

and it's always so meaningful.

I have so much empathy and understanding,

I can write to my family in our group chat

Is everything okay?" And my brother can

it never will be like,

oh, I know "The weather was like sunny," or

like that." He might reply to me,

"We are right now like in Kramatorsk,"

and it's like the front line.

Or, "I need some help with finding the new

car, new vehicle for their,

And I was like, okay,

this is the need, this is the goal,

And all the time, like,

with my family, "How is your health?

This is all like, you know,

Or when I write to my friends,

military friends, like," Are you okay?

I call the war their work,

"How was your work?

"No."

"If you need anything, straight away,

if you need to talk to,

if you, I just can",

for people who are directly fighting,

to make them realise that, you know,

"I can hear you, you're important for me."

"If you need, I'm here, talk to me."
