Join the Whiskey Bench for the start of a new series. In the next few episodes, the Bench is going to tackle the Russian/Ukraine conflict. Before any productive conversation can be had, a brief history of Ukraine is essential. Hop in and listen to Stephen and Kat fly through Ukrainian history from roughly 1900-2004.
