Live from Syntagma Square, Athens, GR (24.02.24)

On the second anniversary of Russia’s full scale invasion on Ukraine we join the Ukrainian community in Greece as they march through the streets of Athens to remind the world that there is an unprovoked and unfair war happening in Europe right now. In our first field episode this season our guests highlight that the war started not two but ten years ago and even though Russia seems a much stronger side of the conflict, it cannot end any other way but with Ukrainian victory.

Episode’s guests:

- Spiro Markou

- Anastasiia Dukhovna

- Eva Zafeir

- Olga Petrova

- Alexandros Kessaanopoulos

- Tatiana Kolesnichenko
