We took some downtime from the headlines to ask our supporters what questions they have for us about Ukraine, the war, or anything. We get back into the old Putin succession question, what podcasts are good or bad, and some takes on food. These are our responses.

In this episode, we give an overview of what brought Georgia/Sakartvelo from independence in 1991 to the place where it is now, with mass protests on the streets fighting against the so-called "Russian Law." This law, similar to the Russian foreign agent law, would put onerous restrictions on foreign funding for civil society.
We then debunk claims it is similar to American FARA restrictions and reflect on the place of NGOs in society.

In this episode, we sit down with retired Congressman David Bonior, former Representative for the northern suburbs of Detroit and Democratic Party Whip from 1991-2002. David worked to shift US policy in favor of independent Ukraine in the collapse of the Soviet Union and has advocated for the country ever since. We talk about the political fight in Congress, the Ukrainian-American diaspora, and his current mission in the country.
But first, some updates about Chasiv Yar, missile strikes, mobilization reform, and protests in Georgia.
