Summary
Over 3.9 million people have fled Ukraine and become refugees since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war, according to the United Nations. About 2.3 million of those people have gone to neighboring Poland, and another 600,000 people have crossed into neighboring Romania. Julia Pashkovska, a mother who left her home in central Ukraine, joins us to discuss her experience fleeing the country.
And in headlines: A Palestinian gunman killed 5 people in Tel Aviv, the FDA approved a second booster dose of Pfizer’s and Moderna’s COVID vaccines for older adults, and the House Jan. 6 committee found a 7.5 hour gap in former President Donald Trump’s phone logs from the day of the insurrection.

| 0:00.0 | It's Wednesday, March 30th. I'm at Gideon Resinc. |
| 0:07.7 | And I'm Priyanka Eribindi and this is what a day where we can finally go back to our |
| 0:11.8 | normal lives now that the American trucker convoy is over. |
| 0:16.0 | Yes, for some people it wasn't disruptive but we took it really hard because of the |
| 0:20.6 | five trips that were in Washington DC. |
| 0:23.2 | True healing cannot be rushed so please respect our privacy during this trying time. |
| 0:31.2 | On today's show, the FDA approves another COVID booster dose for some Americans. |
| 0:35.6 | Plus, the Trump White House is missing almost eight hours of phone records from the day of the |
| 0:40.4 | insurrection. Where could they have gone? But first, let's start with the peace talks between |
| 0:45.4 | Russia and Ukraine that continued on Tuesday. Over a month into this war, it certainly felt like |

| 1:17.4 | should the country be attacked in the future, whereby other nations like the US, Germany, Turkey, |
| 1:22.3 | and others would provide military assistance. Now, one important thing about that is we don't |
| 1:26.7 | know whether any of those countries have agreed to that idea in principle just yet. |
| 1:31.2 | So then there was a territory side of all of these talks. So, Ukraine offered up this 15-year |
