Consider This from NPR - For Families Of Ukrainian Prisoners Of War, An Agonizing Search For Answers

The soldiers known as the Azovstal defenders are heroes in Ukraine. They held out for months against the Russians, fighting from a bombed-out steel plant in the southern port city of Mariupol.

When the city fell, the Ukrainian soldiers were taken captive by Russia.

Last month, the prison where they were being held was rocked by an explosion. More than 50 people died according to Russian sources, and both Russia and Ukraine blame each other for the attack.

NPR's Joanna Kakissis and producer Iryna Matviyishyn spoke to some of these soldiers' families as they waited to find out whether the men were dead or alive.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

The Daily Signal - Dave Donaldson Explains What He Saw in War-Torn Ukraine

Dave Donaldson recently returned to the U.S. after his second trip to Ukraine since Russia’s invasion of its Eastern European neighbor. 

“The city is pretty much obliterated,” Donaldson, co-founder and board chairman of CityServe International, says of the city of Bucha, where Russians are said to have massacred 1,300 people. “It's like watching a sci-fi film.” 

CityServe is a Christian humanitarian aid organization that works with churches all over the world to meet the needs of local communities.

In addition to visiting Bucha, Donaldson also spent time in Kiev and met with bishops from all over Ukraine to learn about the spiritual and physical needs of the people. 

It's been six months since Russia invaded on Feb. 24, and Ukrainians need “prayer that this war will end,” he says.

Donaldson joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what he saw and experienced in Ukraine, and how the people of Ukraine are coping with the death and devastation.
