Journalist and author Lara Marlowe is joined by Yulia Mykytenko who has encountered things ‘no humans should ever witness’
“Nobody has a story like Yulia,” said journalist Lara Marlowe, in simple praise of the 29-year-old Ukrainian army lieutenant at the centre of her book, How Good It Is I have No Fear Of Dying. Ms Marlowe encountered her as one of a half dozen Ukrainian women she interviewed while covering the war, and quickly realised what “an extraordinary” person she had come upon. She determined to write her story, as a way of writing Ukraine’s, and the pair agreed to meet regularly.
It was launched by Labour leader Ivan Bacik, who reminded attendees that the young military officer lost her husband and father in the protracted conflict and has encountered things “that no humans should ever witness”.
