Co-Executive Director of PartnersGlobal Kyra Buchko talks to Zuza Fialova of Partners for Democratic Change Slovakia – one of our fellow Partners Network members – about the impact of the Ukrainian crisis in Slovakia and throughout the region. The open and reflective conversation delves into topics ranging from Slovakia's historical policies accepting refugees to how PDCS is working internally within Slovakia to maintain space for dialogue on difficult topics related to the crisis and xenophobia to what international and regional organizations can do to best support Ukrainians seeking refuge in neighboring countries.
