"It's sobering what's at stake in the eucranian refugee crisis," she says. "The ripple effects of resources to ucrane at the expense of other things is certainly a huge factor" Do you think there are things that people misunderstand about the humanitarian situation? "I am really seized with this idea of a bigger us, people understanding all the ways that we are wrapped up in this together."

Tjada D'Oyen McKenna, the CEO of Mercy Corps, an NGO on the front lines of the Ukrainian crisis, provides an inside look on how they’re helping address the needs of refugees. Mercy Corps began scenario planning well in advance of Russia’s aggression, and they’re now deploying food, cash, and social services to those in need. She also cautions about potential negative impacts elsewhere, as troubles in Ukraine pull resources from other struggling populations.
