In the “fog of war” the number of casualties of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is difficult to account. It is safe to say though the destruction of cities and infrastructure in Ukraine has been extensive.

Just over a year ago, Russian troops and equipment began to amass along the border with Ukraine all in the name of “training”. Since Russian troops crossed into Ukraine, they have been met with fierce resistance. NATO and European countries have been outraged by the invasion and attack, but NATO has not enforced a no fly zone over Ukraine for concern of broadening the conflict. Our Unpublished dot vote question asks, Does Russia’s war on Ukraine amount to genocide?YesNoUnsureLog on and vote right now at Unpublished.vote and have your voice heard. Listen to the podcast, read the articles, cast your vote, email your MP to tell them why, and then take a moment to check out the new Unpublished.ca portal for politics and current affairs in Canada, as we roll it out one section at a time in the coming weeks. Guests:John Packer Professor of International Conflict Resolution University of Ottawa’s Human Rights Research and Education Centre @JP_PeacekeepingYves Engler writer Canadian Dimension @EnglerYvesElliot Tepper Senior Fellow Norman Paterson School of International Affairs @CU_NPSIARadoslav Dimitrov Associate Professor Department of Political ScienceWestern University @WesternuPoliSci
