In Focus: Russia's Invasion | Ukraine Update | The Humanitarian Dimension
Jan 25, 2023
The unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine has been catastrophic for the Ukrainian people. Millions of refugees have fled to neighboring nations to the west, horrendous war crimes have been committed in areas controlled by Russian forces and nation-wide attacks against civilian areas and infrastructure have caused extreme hardships in cities large and small. We continue our "In Focus" series on Russia's invasion with a conversation with Anna Novosad, former Minister of Education and Science from Ukraine and an education activist working to rebuild and restore schools and education infrastructure. She will join us from Kyiv where she is among her countrymen under constant Russian bombardment. We're also joined by Elena Byrd and Dr. Madeleine Byrd, a Nashville mother-daughter team who put everything else on hold to go to Warsaw, Poland to work in a refugee center aiding Ukrainian refugees. Don't miss these powerful stories.
