i want to sign post a bit of recent ukranian history that we discuss. President victor yanikovitch had been pursuing an association agreement with the european union. The conflict in donbas continues to day with more than 13 thousand dead. We have so many great interviews coming up. Next week is femi tiwo posting an interview with dongo sanba la. And then yella gabor on the centrality of monetary policy in colonial and neo colonial domination, particularly in west africa. That was going to be this week, but i bumped it for to day's ukrane episode.
