Veteran war correspondent Mike Eckel talked to us from the original front lines in Donbas, last week from Kiev as the Russians attacked, and now he's back in Prague, having managed to evacuate a couple of days ago. Mike's covered events in Russia and Ukraine for 20 years, and has also interviewed relevant players in the larger conflict, like the U.S. secretary of state Antony Blinken. He's with us for an update on the situation in Ukraine.
