Coinciding with Kharkiv City Day (August 23) and Ukraine Independence Day (August 24), the Hope for Kharkiv launched in Bratislava a global series of cultural events within the Hope for Ukraine project. Michael Jacobsen of the Center for Future Europe talks about how Bratislava became the first European city to host the event in support of Ukraine. On the Wednesday show, we also look back on the recent European Athletics Championships, where the Slovak sprinter Jan Volko achieved his best result so far.
