Ukraine Series: 2. From Ukraine, with Love (and Anger) w/ Romeo Kokriatski

The second episode of the Ukraine Series is with Ukrainian journalist Romeo Kokriatski, who came on to talk to us about the first month of Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine.

What is happening? Why is it happening? And what might happen next?

He is managing editor at New Voice Ukraine, co-host of the Ukraine Without Hype podcast (go check it out) and has written for outlets such as Nihilist, Hromadske, Zaborona, and more.

Kokriatski will also be the co-host and co-researcher for the Ukraine Series from now on!

Links on how to help Ukrainians:

Yes, Ukrainians are tough, smart, and courageous. But they are not rich. The average family earned a tenth as much as the average American family – before the bombing. Pick a cause and donate. Please. It will make a difference.#StandWithUkraine️ #Ukraine #UkraineRussianWar

If you would like to directly donate to the grassroots-based organisations in #Ukraine, I am sharing a small list of queer and young feminist orgs I worked with at different moments, and wholeheartedly suggest you to support them at this time of absolute crisis 🧵

PS: if my voice sounds weird here it’s because I managed to get myself infected with COVID-19, so that’s been fun.
