What hurts our people, hurts us all. The conflict in Russia and Ukraine is a conflict between people, communities and leaders. Anna Moiseva joins the Cultures United Podcast to talk about the impact of the conflict on Russian people. Putin has been leading with violence and this affects both the Ukrainians and Russians, in very different ways. We talk about propaganda, compassion, extreme views of right and wrong, and forgotten populations in Russia who are devastated by the warring nations. At Cultures United, we focus on the value of each nation, the richness and depth they both bring and the strong ties between cultural livelihoods. Anna suggests that connecting over our humanity and talking to people you know and have a relationship with can help bridge barriers and foster compassion and understanding. Please do what you can to help those around you and spread love in these times of great hardship.
