We talk to Volodymyr Smolanka Junior on how his life as a neurosurgeon changed since the war started in his homecountry, Ukraine. Since a couple months he is no longer a resident but a member of staff and focusing mainly on pediatric neurosurgery. He is working in the Uzhorod Regional Centre of Neurosurgery qnd Neurology. Uzhorod is a little town in the west of Ukraine. We talk about the impact of the war on his daily and professional life.
