“From an undisclosed location inside Ukraine’s second-largest city on Thursday, the mayor of Kharkiv tells me he can hear bombs exploding as our interview begins.

With this poignant interview, GloBee International launches the Live From Ukraine Project as a series of articles on the heroic attitude of Ukraine’s war-torn peaceful cities. Addressing the citizens of Western countries through the mainstream media, we urge them to demand that politicians step up sanctions pressure on Russia, provide the necessary weapons to Ukrainian defenders and close the skies over Ukraine. Right now, in Ukraine the fate of the whole Free World is being decided.
