Ukrainians & Russians back at the negotiations table, but any closer to ending the war? -- The tale of one Ukrainian family that had to flee the Russians first in 2014.....and then again in 2022 Mar 29, 2022

Show notes

During peace talks in Turkey today, Russian and Ukrainian negotiators were to said to make some progress; but there still is no end in site to the fighting. Russia says it's halting military operations in and around Ukraine's capital city of Kyiv. U.S. intelligence, however, isn't buying it----they see a repositioning of forces around Kyiv, not a withdrawal. We'll take a closer look.

We head to Ukraine where we talk to a journalist who, before Russia's invasion, had been writing about culture and issues of the day. Now he's focused on helping people struggling during the war.

Show notes

An estimated 3-million Ukrainians have been on the move, leaving their homes.......their cities.......and often the country entirely, to avoid getting caught in the middle of Russia's ongoing invasion. With that number of refugees growing by the day, we've been bringing you the stories of Ukraine's civilians taking extreme measures to escape the war. We'll bring you one more very personal story today.

We will also get you up-to-date on a busy weekend of activity in and around Ukraine, where President Biden seemingly called for regime change in Russia; and the Russian military struck closer yet to NATO territory, with a missile strike just a few miles away from the Polish border.

President Biden meets with U.S. troops in Poland, only a few dozen miles away from Ukraine's border -- A story of hope and survival out of devastated Mariupol -- Are the Ukrainians actually beating the Russians?! Mar 25, 2022

Show notes

President Biden heads east from Brussels to Poland today, where he met with U-S troops stationed only a few dozen miles away from the Ukrainian border. The president telling them the consequences of the war in Ukraine could extend around the world. This comes before meeting with Ukrainian refugees in the country and delivering a major address tomorrow--so we'll head to Poland.

The war in Ukraine has forced families to make brutally tough decisions: escaping advancing Russian troops sometimes means having to leave relatives behind. We talked to one woman from Mariupol who escaped but wasn't able to get a hold of her grandma who was still there. Well, we have an update for you.

Russia's military might be kinda, sorta throwing in the towel on its original war ambitions to take over all of Ukraine. Top Russian generals today insisted they never wanted to occupy big cities like Kyiv; instead they're concentrating on holding territory in Eastern Ukraine. Does this mean Russia is losing?

Show notes

President Biden and his fellow NATO leaders made it clear today in Brussels that the alliance was as unified and resolute as ever, in the face of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It's no small feat that the president, and his counterparts in London, Paris and Berlin have keep the infamously disagreeable NATO allies in lock step against Russia's aggression---we'll take a closer look at how they've done it and what's next in standing up to Vladimir Putin.

We then head back to Ukraine to talk to a man in Kyiv whose family was dealing with a COVID outbreak when the war started. Since then, medicine and medical care have suddenly became hard to find.

The Biden administration has put together a team of experts and military personnel to come up with scenarios and responses if Russian troops were to use chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine. What would NATO's response be, and would the use of chemical weapons constitute a new "red line?"

The war reaches a stalemate between Ukrainian, Russian forces -- Managing the crush of 3+ million Ukrainians fleeing their homes -- Living under Russian occupation Mar 21, 2022

Show notes

As the war in Ukraine is about to reach the one month mark, it is increasingly average Ukrainian citizens paying the biggest price for Russia's invasion. Apartment blocks hit with missiles, shopping malls leveled; and in one case, a theater packed with sheltering civilians bombed from the air.

Ukraine is, however, pushing back; its military refusing to walk away from the port city of Mariupol. And as more refugees leave the country, we'll look into where they're going and if many plan to return home.

And later in today's podcast, we'll head to the Russian occupied city of Kherson...where Russian troops have apparently attacked protesters....and talk with one woman caught in the middle of it all.

Show notes

Western Ukraine has escaped the worst of Russia's invasion of the country. The region that borders no fewer than four NATO countries has been mostly calm....until now. Russian forces launched a barrage of missiles on the outskirts of Lviv, a key city in that part of the country. We'll take you to Lviv for reaction.

Then we'll head to the other side of Ukraine, the war-torn east, and talk with a resident of the city Kharkiv, which has been under near daily bombardment since the invasion began.

President Biden had a long chat with China's leader over the war. Can the Chinese be talked out of providing aid and support to the floundering Russian army?

And Vladimir Putin held a big rally today in Moscow to drum up support for the invasion, which of course he isn't calling an "invasion". We'll take a closer look at how Putin gets out of the mess of his own creation.
