1,300 miles separate London from Kyiv, a distance that affords us the luxury to conveniently ‘forget’ that Ukraine remains under attack.
Brandon Mitchell is not given that same luxury - a combat medic who’s seen the very best that humanity can give, and the very worst that war strips from us.
He’s returning to continue his heroic work, having survived a land mine explosion, but while he’s in the UK we have the chance to hear him share the reality of war that we seldom see in the news.
