In this edition of the programme, we speak to a Pole, Tomasz Maciejczuk, who has been volunteer in Ukraine since the Maidan protests last year, and who has spent time helping Ukrainians in the Donbas.
We also take a look at the EU reactions with an emergency meeting of the 28-nation bloc’s foreign ministers towards the end of the week. EU foreign ministers have decided to boost sanctions against Russia in the wake of a rocket attack on the Ukrainian city of Mariupol which left 30 people dead. Despite concerns that Greece would not play ball and tow the EU line on tightening sanctions on Russia, solidarity among the bloc was kept intact as a whole package of sanctions was extended with more now in the pipeline.
