In part two, David travels back to Kyiv. It’s the summer of 2022 and the Ukrainians have defied the odds. The Russians have been pushed back around the capital, but they have wreaked chaos in the east and south. David visits the towns around Kyiv whose names have become synonymous with Russian brutality: Borodyanka, Moschun, and Bucha. David heads south to the front line city of Mykolaiv where there are rumours of a massive impending battle over the neighbouring town of Kherson. There he finds an edgy, devastated town. He interviews Valentyn, a volunteer Ukrainian soldier who seems to exemplify his country’s spirit of resistance.
