    One Year Later

    One Year Later

    Almost one year after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Ali Velshi is live from Kyiv with the latest on the war and stories from the people he’s met on the ground – from refugees to government officials, to ordinary Ukrainians coping with life under attack. Ali is joined live on the ground by Members of Parliament Kira Rudik and Yevheniia Kravchuk, as well as NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel and NBC News Correspondent Erin McLaughlin. He also speaks live with former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch and Oona Hathaway, professor of international law at Yale. And you’ll hear from Inna Tokareva – a Ukrainian refugee Ali first met nearly a year ago on a train platform in Hungary as she was fleeting Russian violence.
