The world has just observed the one-year anniversary of Russia’s illegal attack on Ukraine. Accurate estimates are hard to come by, but the estimates are that 200,000 Russian soldiers, 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers, and 30,000 Ukrainian civilians have died. For an assessment of where things stand and what’s needed to bring the war to an end, we welcome veteran journalist Diane Francis (https://twitter.com/dianefrancis1), who has visited Ukraine dozens of times.
