On April 2, the Ukraine Socialist Solidarity Campaign had a zoom discussion with Olexandr Skyba, a leading member of the railroad workers union in Ukraine, and a fellow railroad worker of his. After speaking, After explaining their situation, they asked about the situation for the U.S. unions, and several US union members explained their situation.
The meeting had a running translation from English to Ukrainian and back, because this was not just a discussion among academics, and most workers in these two countries don't speak each other's languages. This was an example, a first step, towards building true direct links between Ukrainian and U.S. workers. Here is a video recording of this event. We hope more will follow:
