Debates over the proper approach to the Russo-Ukrainian War have dominated much of the year. Yet discussions within the western left have not always featured the perspectives of Ukrainians and Russians themselves. The Real News Network board member Bill Fletcher, in partnership with Haymarket Books, hosts a panel with Ukrainian and Russian academics.

Sorry, this is not a "debate", it's a cheer squad of like-minded people.
Murdering 44m people is genocide. We stopped that before after the initial appeasement of Hitler. People can go fcuk themselves if they think the world will let another atrocity like ww2 happen again
You a communist?

This is hardly a two sided discussion. Seems you've gone the way of the woke, which is to say that you've willingly gone broke… in the terms of truth, that is. Who knew that the deep state had its fingers in your pudding? Russiagate not an aside at all as the proxy war in Ukraine against Russia exposes the lie machine to all Europeans in a more direct way. Once everybody has lost their feet I suppose its to the knees next? Capitalism is such a humane business… Cutthroat capitalism is the best, or else. All those Europeans are socialists with their national healthcare systems. Got to do something about that, eh?
Russian Agression? I guess..just because you call yourself " real news " doesn't really mean its real news .lol.
Ukraine is lucky that the Russian military turned out to be totally incompetent and corrupt. Ukraine is absolutely going to win this war, the Russian military is largely a joke at this point.
The boys and the Girls must see a good point of view from other credible sourches …
so they know what are really happens on Ukraine-Russia war.

Your pro Ukraine properganda is so clear educate yourself real news who's news
I agree with Yuliya.
"…he need Donald Trump to be American leader to be honest…"
WHAT?
Trump is not the president.
Trump loves Putin.
Trump praised Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
Trump is incapable of being honest.
Ukraine does not need Trump, a man who corrupted our government, who tried to overthrow our republic, and wants to be a dictator.
garbage propaganda by TRNN. I wasn't expecting these types of biased and hypocritical guests to be hosted on this channel shame!
What's the obsession with the "far right" ? How about the "far left" ? And any other "far" ?
Very weak debate. On their defense, they are Ukrainians – and they live far from the battlefront. Their biggest problems caused by the war are lack of electricity and internet.
Genocide requires the intent to exterminate a group.
Why do you talk to these in calm manor can't you see they are Russian haters through and through and are they relevant when the war is over all these Nazi lovers are immigrating to America to enjoy the thousands of dollars they are getting to destroy their nation as long as they get as many Russians killed in the process what a shame there is no god to punish these fanatical idiot scum
As I thought becoming another Democracy Now.
