After four and a half years of conflict, Ukraine’s physical damage is starkly visible. However, the psychological harm from occupation, displacement, and loss is harder to assess yet equally critical to address.
David Miliband, president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee and former British foreign secretary, speaks with Sarah Wheaton after his trip to southern Ukraine. He emphasizes the need for prioritizing mental health support in the country’s recovery, highlighting the alarming trend of targeting civilians and infrastructure in conflicts across Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, and Congo as evidence of a “new world disorder.”
With the U.S. reducing humanitarian aid under Donald Trump, can Europe step up in Ukraine and globally?
This week also marks a decade since the Brexit vote. Anne McElvoy discusses with Sarah the political turmoil in London, the implications of Keir Starmer’s exit for the EU–U.K. relations reset, and whether Andy Burnham might extend the relationship further.
