A small Ukrainian city called Mariupol is now a battleground because of its port and large steel mills.
@mehdirhasan takes a closer look at the history of the region and the current effort by Ukraine to keep it:
“There’s no such thing as country over party, no threat to Democracy too great or too dangerous to let Democrats win,” says @mehdirhasan of the GOP in 2022.
“You can see how easy it is to lose our democracy without a single bullet being fired.”
“We don’t change. It’s the international community’s reaction that changes,” says @KenRoth of inconsistencies in how governments and the media and nations respond to HRW reports.
“Clearly the best way to promote human rights is to promote them consistently.”
Compared to the other conflicts that @hrw covers, how bad are the atrocities in Ukraine?
“It could get a lot worse, frankly. We’re trying to document what’s going on with the aim of preventing it from getting much worse,” says @KenRoth.

We’ve seen every time the Russian army fails, but we’re not seeing when the Ukrainian army fails.
“There’s also another type of bias that works in this direction,” says @christogrozev. Most images of the war on social media are shared by Ukrainians.
.@hrw has been reporting on the Ukrainian civilians trapped in the city of Mariupol. Executive director @KenRoth joins @mehdirhasan tonight to discuss the humanitarian crisis.

“This is how countries slide slowly into authoritarianism, because small, mediocre men like Bill Barr believe they’re the smartest person in the room.”
@JoyceWhiteVance isn’t pulling any punches when it comes to the former AG.
“Now you don’t need to buy Bill Barr’s book.”
Do Ukrainians feel like the U.S. is doing enough to help them?
@CalNBC explains how that answer has changed over the past week. (And not in a good way if you’re a Biden Admin. official):
“I’m glad to see they’re having morale problems. I’m glad to see they’re having supply problems. All that’s good.”
@ltgrusselhonore talks about the issues facing Russian forces as they try to overtake Ukraine.
Nearly all Russian troops preset at the border are now in Ukraine, according to a Sr. U.S. defense official.
@ltgrusselhonore joins the show to talk about the military situation on the ground.

What would it take to keep his former Attorney General Bill Barr from voting again for Trump for president? Apparently, nothing.
@JoyceWhiteVance joins the show to weigh in on Barr’s redemption tour.

Countries across Europe have opened their borders to Ukrainian refugees, but as @MehdiRHasan points out, it’s exposing a troubling double standard - both there and here in the U.S.:
Russia's actions in Ukraine have pushed many Americans to reflect on certain U.S. policies -- particularly those related to cluster bombs. @AymanM joined @MehdiRHasan to discuss some of the lessons he's learned.
.@O_Prokopenko_IR just arrived in Poland after spending a week trapped inside bomb shelters in Kyiv.
“I’m very anxious, not just for my family and personal future but for the future of Ukraine,” she tells @MehdiRHasan.
"We're watching effectively a genocide taking place in front of our eyes" says @Billbrowder. "We're going to get World War III if we don't stop this thing." But @MehdiRHasan pushes back on a 'no-fly zone'
