UPDATE: This episode was corrected on April 18th, 2022 to expand the story about the one-word test Ukrainian soldiers used to sniff out Russians pretending to be Ukrainian. The original version stated falsely that one of the words relating to the test story is Russian, when in fact it is also a Ukrainian word.  If you previously heard the original version and want to hear the update, you can refresh Spotify, listen on another device, or delete your cache to be able to. The updated section begins at the timestamp 14:15.
