Looking at Ukraine from Africa and back - with Simon Allison

We have a lot to share with each other. We won’t agree on everything. Often, what is “good” for one may be “bad” for the other. And yet, this conversation is necessary — and it’s interesting. A perspective from Africa on Ukraine can offer a fresh viewpoint. Likewise, a Ukrainian perspective on Africa can do the same. At the very least, let’s try. Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, Ukrainian philosopher and the chief editor of UkraineWorld. Our guest today is Simon Allison, co-founder of The Continent (https://www.thecontinent.org/), Africa’s most widely distributed newspaper. UkraineWorld is run by Internews Ukraine, one of the country’s largest media NGOs. You can support our work at https://www.patreon.com/c/ukraineworld. Your support is crucial, as our media increasingly relies on crowdfunding. You can also help fund our volunteer trips to front-line areas, where we assist both soldiers and civilians — mainly by delivering vehicles for soldiers and books for civilians. Donations can be made via PayPal at ukraine.resisting@gmail.com. This episode was produced in partnership with the Ukrainian Institute, Ukraine's major cultural and public diplomacy institution, and NGO Cultural Diplomacy Foundation.
