"It won’t stay in the past, it’s for all life, you won’t forgive it and you won’t deceive yourself. Even if you really want to, you still won’t forget it. It will always haunt you, it will always show you how hard it was for you."

16. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Kseniia Voznitsyna, director of Lisova Poliana veterans’ mental health center:
"If a person does not find that support through communication, he can become avoidant and become antisocial, closing himself off at home only with those close to him whom he trusts, who are nearby, and who feel safe. The second thing is that if it was a long captivity, then a lot has changed in society. Even in apps, in programming on the phone, in such everyday things, this must be re-learned and absorbed into a new rhythm of life."
17. Close of photo of soldier
18. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Kseniia Voznitsyna, director of Lisova Poliana veterans’ mental health center:
"Any movement for them will feel like a new torture or new restrictions, it causes a certain anxiety and defensive reaction. They need to be informed in great detail here. This also applies to medical procedures, because torture is stored at the level of bodily memory, it is difficult for a person to undergo procedures that involve electric current, because this is the number one torture in torture chambers."
