@MriyaReport news from Ukraine & replays of guests you might have missed or want to listen to again.

We had the pleasure of being joined by our very special guests Ryan Smith ( @ryanwsmith_5 on X) and Mykolai Sierga ( @TheKolya on X). Ryan Smith is the Director and Producer of the documentary "Soldiers of Song", which documents how the lives of its cast of Ukrainian musicians have irrevocably changed and how they use their musical talents to support themselves and their communities. He is also the producer of Emmy-award winning NFL Films' "Who if Not Us" about Ukrainians in the American Football League who sent their wives and children to safety outside of Ukraine and then turned to defend their country after the full-scale invasion in 2022. Mykolai Sierga is an Officer in the Armed Forces of Ukraine musician, singer, TV presenter and founder of Cultural Forces. One of the main subjects in Soldiers of Song!
