How can Canadians help with the humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine?

Discussion of Ukraine aid has focused mostly on military equipment—how NATO allies can aid the Ukrainians against Russia. Meanwhile, staggering numbers of Ukrainian civilians have either fled the country or are trapped in regions being devastated by Russian bombardment. The needs of the Ukrainian people are massive and varied. How can we help get them what they need, where they are or aid those who do manage to make it to Canada? And what should we expect of our government to help us get it to them?

GUEST: Orest Zakydalsky, Senior Policy Advisor for the Ukrainian Canadian Congress
