About this episode

The U.S. government is keeping the military aid rolling toward Ukraine. President Biden approved another 800-million-dollar package of equipment, ammunition and training for Ukraine's armed forces--including sending over heavier weapons, like howitzers and drones--shedding the previous concerns over antagonizing Vladimir Putin. What kind of weapons are we sending and how effective will they be in stopping the Russian offensive in Eastern Ukraine?

We'll also take a closer look at the continuing political fallout here at home over how President Biden is handling Ukraine.

And while an estimated 5-million Ukrainians have left the country to avoid Russia's invasion, millions more have been internally displaced. We'll talk with one Ukrainian woman helping her fellow citizens to resettle in safer parts of the country, out of harm's way.
