Russia once again threatens nuclear war over Ukraine, but how seriously should we take all of their doomsday bluster? -- Growing desperation in establishing safe corridors to evacuate Ukrainian civilians Apr 26, 2022

Show notes

Since before Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine, it's been rattling that nuclear saber. From Vladimir Putin on down, there have been months of subtle--and not so subtle--warnings from Russian politicians and generals about interference in Russia's war in Ukraine possibly leading to an exchange of nuclear weapons.

Once again, the Russian illusions to the use of nuclear weapons is back in the news--this time with Russia's long-time foreign minister dropping the nuclear hint. We'll look into whether he's serious or just bluffing.

And we'll talk to a human rights activist in Kyiv who's monitoring humanitarian corridors to find out if Russia is allowing safe travels for aid workers and civilians.

One day after the U.S. Secretaries of Defense & State visit Kyiv, Russia expands airstrikes into Western Ukraine -- Ruslan's tale of getting his mother out of the Donbas....through Russia Apr 25, 2022

Show notes

While the attention has recently been on Russia's shift of focus to Eastern Ukraine, in what could be an old fashioned land-grab operation, the Russian military hasn't stopped attacking ALL of Ukraine. That point was driven home again today after several Russian missile strikes deep into Western Ukraine.

The renewed air attacks on Ukraine come one day after the U.S. Secretaries of Defense and State went to Kyiv, the highest profile delegation of American leadership yet to visit Ukraine's capital city as the war still rages. And we'll take a closer look at all of these developments.

Plus, we get an update from a man we talked to a month ago in Ukraine whose mother recently escaped the eastern part of the country where Russian military operations are ramping up.

What kind of weapons are we sending and how effective will they be in stopping the Russian offensive in Eastern Ukraine?

We'll also take a closer look at the continuing political fallout here at home over how President Biden is handling Ukraine.

And while an estimated 5-million Ukrainians have left the country to avoid Russia's invasion, millions more have been internally displaced. We'll talk with one Ukrainian woman helping her fellow citizens to resettle in safer parts of the country, out of harm's way.
