Our first conversation is with Kostiantyn Krynytskyi from the Ukrainian NGO EcoAction. 

In the years preceding Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Kostia worked with the country’s eastern coal regions for a just transition of the energy system.

Since the invasion, his work has shifted, with a focus on the resiliency potential of distributed renewable energy.

Max talked with Kostia at the end of June, 858 days after missiles first started striking Kyiv.
