This is the Cato Daily Podcast for Wednesday, March 23rd, 2022.

I'm Caleb Brown.

As war continues in Ukraine, I spoke with Cato Senior Fellow Tom Palmer,

who is in Poland, assisting with efforts to move

medical and other supplies into Ukraine and move people out of Ukraine.

We spoke yesterday.

What are you doing in Poland, Tom? Well, I got back to Poland at 2.30 in the morning, I should say back to Warsaw, after a long drive with two Ukrainian families and a friend who's accompanying me helping

them to escape from Ukraine.

I've made a number of supply runs,

so our libertarian friends in Ukraine

and across Europe have been gathering supplies for hospitals, children's

wards, all kinds of things, medical gowns, surgical equipment and so on, because there's a country under attack invaded by a great

power that is utterly merciless and is deliberately attacking civilians, civilian infrastructure and so on.

We bring things in across the border and when we come back, we take people and then deliver them to family or refugee centers so they

can go on to Germany or Spain or Italy or Denmark or wherever they're intending

to go. So this is something and by the way I work with a number of former Cato interns. I'm very very proud of them

for stepping up to the plate and doing what needs to be done.

You mentioned former Cato interns who are assisting in this process of moving in supplies and

moving people out.

What of the broader liberty movement especially free marketeers, people who believe in

liberty in the rest of Europe?

Well I've been really heartened by the way people have stepped up to the plate.
