A new episode of the podcast «Live towards» from FUIB bank: an honest conversation about captivity

How do you keep going when everything falls apart, and how can the support of your brothers-in-arms become a lifeline?
In the new episode of the "Live towards" podcast from FUIB Bank — a frank conversation about life after captivity: how to find the strength to move forward, accept your changed self, and trust the world again.

The guests of this episode are Mariupol defenders Kyrylo Tiurniev and Anatolii Basenko, who endured the hell of the city’s defense, the Azovstal siege, severe injuries, captivity, and eventual exchange. They share their raw stories of street fighting, hunger, the pain of amputation, torture in Olenivka and Donetsk, separation from loved ones, flashbacks, and the long road to recovery.

The podcast is hosted by Daniell Salem. This episode also features guest expert Natalia Yemchenko, Director of Communications at System Capital Management and Chair of the Supervisory Board of the NGO "Heart of Azovstal". She talks about the support programs for veterans — from digital care boxes to psychological rehabilitation — designed not just to help them survive, but to grow through trauma.

They speak with honesty — about anger, loss, trust, and building a new life, where many good things still lie ahead.
