🇺🇦🇺🇦 Firstly, I would like to resolutely express absolute solidarity with the Ukranian people, and condemn Russia’s Illegal and immoral violation of the sovereignty of an independent State. I hope that peace, security, freedom, and justice soon reign in Ukraine and that Europe (and the rest of the world) continue to safeguard Ukranians in need of support🇺🇦🇺🇦 In this episode I’m joined by public policy professional, Sarah Said, and Commerce student, Wakila Latidoye, to discuss whether the war in Ukraine has exposed Western hypocrisy and double standards in humanitarianism. In the episode we talk about the discrepancy in the language used to describe those affected by the war in Ukraine as compared to wars elsewhere, the importance of Europe embodying its most cherished values consistently, the comments of the Deputy Prime Minister of Ireland to try and justify the difference in treatment of refugees based on geographic proximity, and lots more. I believe that it is fundamental that we here in Europe advocate for the application of our most cherished values indiscriminately, and that we jump at any opportunity to rectify our ways if we begin to stray away from these values- not least when this is done for tribalistic reasons. I really hope you enjoy the video and take something from it. Instagram: @eric.ehigie Twitter: @ericosa11
