Actor Liev Schreiber on why helping Ukraine matters and why Russia will lose

Actor Liev Schreiber joins Margaret Hoover to talk about the war in Ukraine and his efforts to provide humanitarian aid through the organization he co-founded, BlueCheck Ukraine.

Schreiber discusses his Ukrainian roots and why he was inspired to help Ukraine after Russia’s invasion began. He explains how BlueCheck identifies and vets frontline relief groups to partner with and details some of the projects it has funded. 

He comments on President Volodymyr Zelensky’s address to the United Nations and questions he raised about the effectiveness of the UN, as well as President Biden’s attempts to overcome “Ukraine fatigue” in the U.S.

Schreiber also reflects on the decline of political discourse, what he learned from his own visits to Ukraine, and how Zelensky’s training as an actor prepared him for this moment.
