Ep. 70 / Ukraine's Stolen Children and Rebuilding Hope with Mykola Kuleba

Children taken in the chaos of invasion, identities stripped, futures rewritten—this is the hidden frontline of the war in Ukraine. In this episode we sit down with Mykola Kuleba, cofounder of Save Ukraine, to hear about the present-day “underground railroad” rescuing children from occupied territories and beyond. Mykola brings a rare mix of policy expertise and truth from the frontlines, including survivor testimony and the logistical realities of secretly saving children. 

Over the course of the conversation we trace the mechanics of state-sponsored abduction: orphanages cleared out, passports issued under pressure, school curricula recast to glorify militarization, and boys funneled toward conscription. Mykola explains why the data downplays the crisis—many parents are missing, many cases unreported—and how saved children provide the leads that unlock the next rescue. The stories are harrowing, and deeply disturbing, but there is also grit and grace, hope and healing in the face of a world at war. 

We also talk strategy for listeners who want to help. This is where human rights, faith and civic action meet—where saving one child reclaims a future and saving many protects a nation’s soul.
