We interview Annie Tregouet and Yulia Ovstrovska in St. Omer, France.

We first interviewed Annie, who teaches French to Ukrainian refugees, on our Feb. 9, 2023 episode.   
Yulia, one of the refugees who was an accountant and lawyer in Kharkiv,  was interviewed by Annie's husband Paul on our July 7, 2023 episode.

In today's episode, we  revisit them one year or more  later to find out what has changed for them and what has not. While Yulia feels safe in France with her daughters and they have adapted to the French culture, she longs to return to Ukraine where the war is at a stalemate at best.

To learn more about the personal stories coming out of this war, listen to the TOB episodes below:

We interview Phoenix, a Ukrainian doctor recovering from his wounds received on the front lines on the Feb. 16, 2023 episode.

This episode on Feb. 23, 2024 honors Ukrainian students killed in the war.
