When Melaniya Podolyak started her YouTube channel, her goal was to help provide civic education: explain governmental procedures, policy decisions coming out of Kyiv, and “internal politics of Ukraine to Ukranians.” Then the war started. Podolyak and Wittes talk about what she’s doing now: working for the Serhiy Prytula Foundation, which has supported the Ukrainian Army since 2014, and helping to combat misperceptions of Ukrainian identity through communications work.
