Join Federal Senator for NSW and Co-Chair of the Australia-Ukraine Parliamentary Friendship Group Deborah O'Neill and NSW MP for Auburn Lynda Voltz for
1) The screening of the Kyiv Independent's documentary film, “Can You Hear Me? The Invisible Battles of Ukrainian Military Medics”.

3) Presentation of Letters of Appreciation to three brave Australian men who risked their lives on the front line to protect Ukrainian sovereignty and independence.
Tickets at https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1574118.
The film’s authors Francis Farrell and Olena Zashko followed a group of Ukrainian military medics as they journeyed from the heat of battle in war-torn Ukraine to the serene forests of Sweden for a short mental health retreat. As they find themselves in a peaceful, quiet environment in Sweden for the first time since 2022, the medics have a chance to process the accumulated trauma, opening up about losing brothers-in-arms, surviving Russian captivity, and the inescapable feeling of guilt for not being able to save some of the soldiers they treated.
The film will be screened in Ukrainian with English subtitles, followed by a discussion with The Kyiv Independent’s Francis Farrell and Olena Zashko.
WARNING: This film contains graphic scenes. They are intended to reflect the harsh realities of war, but they may be distressing to some viewers.
The event will also introduce and acknowledge three brave Australians who have fought for Ukraine and since returned to Australia. The Ukrainian Embassy in Australia will present Letters of Appreciation to these men who risked their lives to protect Ukrainian sovereignty and independence. Join us to thank them and acknowledge their bravery.
100% of net event proceeds will be donated to Defend Ukraine Appeal.
