REPORT FROM UKRAINE: The invisible wounds. “Traumas from the front line”

13 September 2026

In this final part of the documentary, I set out to meet soldiers and doctors to discuss the psychological impact of the conflict on military personnel.

The aim of this report is to shed light on a little-explored aspect of the war in Ukraine: psychology.

How do soldiers adapt? How do they cope with the reality of death when they are on the front line? How do they live with the ever-present danger? What is the psychiatric landscape on the front line?

Here are the questions I am trying to clarify in this third part.
