Anastasiia Kuchynska, who leads the psychological support unit, and Viacheslav Tarashchenko, commander of the State Emergency Service's DELTA rapid emergency response team, appeared on ICTV as part of the United News telethon marking Ukraine's 35th Independence Day. During their interview with anchor Olena Froliak, they described what rescue work looks like under the conditions of a full-scale war.
Facing the Demands of Rescue Work
The conversation centered on the everyday pressures faced by emergency personnel and on the resilience of those who dedicate themselves to saving lives. The broadcast was tied to a milestone in Ukraine's history: 35 years since the country regained its independence.
Talks like this are essential for grasping how crucial rescue teams become during wartime, when their duties carry extra weight. They also remind the public how emergency response services operate and why supporting their mission to protect and save people is so vital. In wartime, such televised discussions offer citizens a clearer view of the risks and dedication behind emergency services.
As Ukraine commemorates its 35th Independence Anniversary, the dedication of emergency responders is more apparent than ever.
