Terry speaks with Major General Dmytro Marchenko on the invasion of Ukraine. We hear from General Marchenko on his views of the Ukrainian army and how united and strong they are in the face of the Russian invasion. Despite Russia having such a large force behind them, their fatalities far out way that of the Ukrainian army.

The General tells us his views on the invasion, discusses the Russian violence towards civilians and sets the record straight on some Russian propaganda. He believes they can finish the war by the summer if they have the right weapons but implores the west to send more military aid as soon as possible.

An honour to speak with him today to get such a close insight into the emotion and hardship that all Ukrainian people are going through at this time.
