Kherson has become one of the defining symbols of civilian resilience during the war in Ukraine, with residents continuing daily life despite constant shelling, drone attacks and repeated strikes on energy infrastructure. Alex Wolfe is joined by Oleksandr Tolokonnikov, Deputy Head of Kherson Region, live from Ukraine alongside Dan Whitehead from Medical Life Lines Ukraine, the UK charity that has delivered more than 130 ambulances and emergency vehicles to frontline communities since Russia’s full-scale invasion. They discuss the reality of life inside Kherson today, the destruction of hospitals and power systems, sanctions loopholes, energy security and the challenge of maintaining international support as the war continues. The episode also explores reconstruction, civilian resilience and why energy remains central to both Ukraine’s future and wider European security. Special thanks to Viktoriia Maryshchuk for translation support during this episode.
