Now in its third year, the Russian war on Ukraine has devastated cities, displaced millions, and reshaped global security.

But do they offer real solutions? In this episode of PILPG's Lawyering Peace Hot Takes, host Heba Bawaieh speaks with Dr. Paul Williams and Professor Milena Sterio to break down these peace plans, exploring their feasibility, limitations, and what they reveal about international diplomacy. Which proposal, if any, stands a chance? And how might shifting global alliances influence their future? Tune in as we untangle the complex legal and political realities of ending the war in Ukraine.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
