Hello and Welcome to our pilot episode of the podcast Be informed. My name is Rashyd and I am the host of the podcast where I am going to focus on some fundamental changes in Ukraine which happened in the course of the past 8 years. The main reason we started this podcast is because we believe that by raising awareness and informing people in order for them to stay engaged and don’t get discouraged, we can make a positive impact on our country. As once said: Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress.
