Maria was born in America, moved to Russia when she was three, her parents are Polish and Russian. She went to school in Russia, she lived there her whole life before college when she moved back and now lives in Texas. She is one of my close friends and in this conversation we share everything we can about the situation going on between Russia and Ukraine. Maria shares her despise for Putin, her feelings about Ukraine and Russian people, and her general views on life in Russia. 

Hope you can enjoy listening to these ideas and join us in helping Ukraine fight this war.
