“I will get to the serious part,” she said, Skyping with the US Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, who was spending her Sunday evening with a Minneapolis panel gathered at noon-thirty. The point of the day: An update and encouragement about what needs to be done in and for Ukraine, under threat by the Russians, and trying to eliminate internal corruption.
