Ukrainian journalists have put together an online exhibit that allows viewers to see the devastation of Russia's war. Viewers can choose several cities and see panoramic views, showing bombed churches, apartments, government buildings, and more. The creators say that they hope the international community will keep their eyes on the continuing atrocities.

We talk about how they've done it, and how they see the ongoing debate in the west over funding for Ukrainian defense. Our guests:

Evan Dawson is the host of "Connections with Evan Dawson." He joined WXXI in January 2014 after working at 13WHAM-TV, where he served as morning news anchor. He was hired as a reporter for 13WHAM-TV in 2003 before being promoted to anchor in 2007.
