We've got quite a few questions coming in from our audience. Would it not, on humanitarian grounds, be better to save possibly tens of thousands of ucranian lives surrender places in the east? I can imagine the emotion coming up in all of you at this point. But if we are talking logic, ah, the the people who have seen what happened in bucha and mariupl,. they can say that we need and we would fight till the end.
Is the West doing enough to help Ukraine? What kind of endgame should Ukraine be seeking – all-out victory over Russia or a negotiated settlement that will allow both sides to claim they have won? To help answer some of these questions, we invited three prominent Ukrainian voices to get the view from the country. Kira Rudik is the MP who went viral on Instagram when she posted a photo of herself wielding a Kalashnikov and urging her fellow citizens to take up arms against the Russian invaders; Michael Bociurkiw, geopolitical analyst and humanitarian; and Olha Poliukhovych, a cultural historian and academic based in Kyiv. This discussion is hosted by broadcaster and academic Philippa Thomas.
