Life in a Ukrainian city still occupied by Russian forces -- Russia is ejected from the U.N. Human Rights Council, but will that make any difference? Apr 07, 2022

Show notes

While Ukrainians are returning to the villages and suburbs surrounding the capital city Kyiv, taking stock of the death and destruction left behind by the Russian military, there are still several other Ukrainian towns that remain under Russian occupation.

Kherson is one such city--it's in the south of Ukraine, one of the few major metropolitan areas where Russians have managed to maintain control for weeks. So we'll check in again with a woman who lives in Kherson. She says she's worried things could get even worse, especially after the destruction in Bucha.

And the United Nations takes action against Russia...suspending it from the Human Rights Council. But will that have much meaning or significance for the Russians?

Not really surprising, but Russia doesn't appear to be abiding by its pledge to scale back military operations around Kyiv -- Ukrainian refugees forced to leave their country tops the 4-million mark Mar 30, 2022

Show notes

24 hours ago, Russian leaders were promising to halt most, if not all, of their military operations in and around Ukraine's capital city of Kyiv. Perhaps unsurprisingly, 24 hours later and the Russians have continued to launch missile and artillery strikes on Kyiv proper and many of its suburbs.

The Pentagon says it's watching Russian forces being repositioned, rather than withdrawing from Ukraine. So the war rages on, even as the two countries are still talking peace in Turkey---we'll get updated on all of it.

Then we'll talk with a woman from Ukraine who's now one of about four million people who've left the country since the war began. She explains how she made the difficult decision to leave.
