Mr. Hontz has worked in Ukraine for years, beginning as a Peace Corps volunteer, and continuing as a business advisor and consultant. He was a guest here on Midday about a year ago, when Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, and we’ve invited him back to offer his reflections on the continuing conflict.

Eric Hontz joins us on Zoom from his office in Washington, DC.
