Limbo in a frontline city

The World

Along the frontline in eastern Ukraine sits the industrial city of Avdiivka. Just 1,800 residents are left there, compared to 32,000 before the war. Ukrainian American pastor Alex Zaytsev used to lead a congregation in Avdiivka, and still makes occasional, dangerous trips there to deliver humanitarian supplies and check on people. The World's host Marco Werman spoke with him after one of those visits this past winter.

This interview originally aired on February 9, 2023.
