Synopsis:

The world is witnessing the horrors of war live on TV including its impact on civilian populations. According to the UN there have been 636 civilian casualties and 1,125 injured. As the war drags on, more humanitarian corridors have opened most recently in a Province in North-Eastern Ukraine close to the Russian border.
Over two million Ukrainians have fled, most are in neighboring Poland where the welcome mat has been laid out for them. There are reports however, that Black and other refugees of color fleeing the Ukraine are having a difficult time getting out of Ukraine and are being denied entrance to Poland or treated in a racist manner on the one hand by Ukrainian police and on the other hand by Polish guards.

Today we dig deeper into the crisis, with our guests, historian and Professor Gerald Horne who has recently written an article in Monthly Review on the Ukraine/Russia conflict, and scholar William Hartung, senior research fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. His work focuses on the arms industry and the U.S. military budget. What are the historic routes, why would a no-fly zone lead to widening the war, what has been the role of NATO and the US?
