Ukrainian Heroes: Saving Lives from the Underground
Discover the courageous Ukrainians operating a secret air-defense network to protect their country from relentless attacks. Their vital work defies danger to shield civilians.
Amidst the chaos and destruction of the ongoing Russian invasion, a remarkable group of Ukrainians has emerged as true heroes – the operators of a secret air-defense network, fighting to save lives from the safety of underground facilities.
In the embattled city of Kharkiv, Alina Ustiuhova and her colleagues work tirelessly in a hidden command center, located deep beneath the surface. From this fortified bunker, they monitor radar screens, coordinate with military forces, and ultimately, make the critical decisions that can mean the difference between life and death for countless civilians.
Ustiuhova, a 35-year-old supervisor, leads a team of highly trained professionals who have dedicated themselves to this vital mission.
