About Ukraine the Possible Podcast
The Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine is a war of aggression by a fossil fuel imperialist, so the peoples of Ukraine have no choice but to resist. In the podcast, we discuss the war and its impact, as well as the historical context of transformations, crises and inequality. Despite the tragedy, Ukrainian society has demonstrated its ability to dialogue and cooperate, and its potential for a more just, inclusive and diverse future. And this future requires international solidarity.
