YUH 57 - Ukraine with Will Cooper and Virginia Mushkatblat

The unprovoked war in Ukraine is over a month old,  and new events change the outlook every day.  Today the city of Bucha was recaptured by Ukranian forces after the retreat of the Russian army,  and evidence of Vladimir Putin's war crimes offered a grim reminder of his barbaric resolve.  Over 400 civilians were found dead in the streets or dumped into mass graves, with indications these victims had been tortured and abused before execution.  Last Thursday,  we had a passionate discussion with polticial pundit Will Cooper and a former citizen of the Ukraine, Virginia Mushkatblat.  The mood was slightly more optimistic at the time,  with peace talks under way in Instanbul, Turkey.  Virginia is the owner of her own business and employs several Ukranian citizens.  As her morning meetings take place,  she greets every one of them with the question,  "are you still alive?"  This was a very serious discussion and I did not want too much time to elapse before publishing it.
