Summary

It's been roughly 30 years since the Soviet Union collapsed. Since the fall of the USSR, Russia and Ukraine have had a complicated relationship, making tensions even higher now given the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO. But could Russian control over Ukraine be the first step towards a recreation of the Russian Empire? US ambassador to Ukraine and Vice President of Russia and Europe at the United States Institute of Peace William Taylor joins the Rundown to discuss the importance of US and European support of Ukraine, the country's recent westernization, and the consequences Russia will face if it pursues an invasion. For decades large, crowded events like the Super Bowl have been deemed significant targets for human trafficking. As we near this year's big game being held in the Los Angeles area, where trafficking remains a significant problem, many Americans worry the event could pose a dangerous risk. Human trafficking survivor and advocate Oree Freeman joins to discuss her personal experience as a trafficking victim, what people can do to help combat this crime, and how this problem is far bigger than a single event. Plus, commentary by FOX Nation host Tomi Lahren. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
