A Russian and a Ukranian native come together to discuss the war in Ukraine.

UW Whitewater at Rock County Marketing Coordinator Yuri Rashkin, originally from Moscow, says he will be joined by Anastasia Gib who is a Junior at Janesville Craig and recently moved to Wisconsin with her family from Ukraine.

Rashkin says he hopes the talk is interactive, and people in attendance bring questions that can help move the conversation forward and help educate those in attendance about the war.

The chat takes places next Thursday at noon at the Kirk Denmark Theater on the campus of UW Rock County.
