The Heat: Ukraine crisis

The Heat

Ukraine remains under attack with fears that its conflict with Russia is about to get much worse.

Hundreds of civilians have been killed so far, and a major Russian convoy is poised to move on to the capital Kyiv.

Meanwhile, close to a million Ukrainians have now fled the country.

And, the United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to condemn Russia’s actions in Ukraine. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres commented on the situation.

To discuss:

  • Iuliia Mendel is a journalist and former press secretary to Ukrainian President Volodmyr Zelenskyy.
  • Alexander Motyl is a professor of political science at Rutgers University.
  • Vladimir Golstein is chair of the Department of Slavic Studies at Brown University and a commentator on Russian foreign policy.
  • Victor Gao is Chair Professor at Soochow University.
