Protecting Kyiv: Inside Ukraine’s Territorial Defence Forces

Ordinary Ukrainian citizens – many of whom have no military training – have volunteered by the tens of thousands to take up arms and protect their homeland. For The New Reality, Krista Hessey takes us inside Kyiv’s Territorial Defence Forces, which are a key part of the defence ecosystem for Ukraine. We meet some of the people providing critical security during the war, including a former prime minister, now armed and ready to do what it takes to defend Ukraine.
