In our first episode of why we fight, we're talking with Sheikh Said Ismagilov.
He is one of the most senior Islamic clerics in Ukraine and was Mufti of the Religious Administration of Muslims of Ukraine.
When the Russians invaded in 2022, he signed up to fight as a combat medic, serving in Bakhmut and across the lines. He participated in the liberation of his hometown of Bucha, where the Russians had looted his home.
Join me, as we find out what it was like for the Sheikh to defend both his faith and freedom.
