What A Veteran Writer from the New Yorker Learned Covering the Ukraine War

Joshua Yaffa wasn’t a war correspondent, but The New Yorker writer became one when Russia invaded Ukraine. He tells Ray Suarez how the war solidified a sense of Ukrainian unity that didn’t exist previously. “That is the tragic and dark irony of this war,” said Yaffa. “Putin's invasion brought about the very thing Putin thought he was fighting against from the beginning.”   Guest:   Joshua Yaffa, contributing writer at The New Yorker   Host:   Ray Suarez   If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to World Affairs.
