Today's guest is civic leader Artem Zozulia, President of Foundation Ukraine in Wroclaw, Poland. A dedicated voice for Ukrainian democracy for nearly two decades, Artem's journey began as a youth volunteer in his hometown of Vinnytsia in central Ukraine, challenging Russian propaganda, and campaigning for a pro-European future.

Today, the foundation he leads serves as a vital lifeline, helping refugees and migrants build new lives while providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine, and raising wider awareness about human rights and the social and political realities inside Ukraine. The Foundation has grown into one of Poland's largest of its kind.

In our interview, Artem shares many insights, including what it was like to be raised in post-Soviet Ukraine, the real meaning and gift of "Maidan", and unravelling the deep-seated fear of being heard.
