Handful of abducted children could be returned to Ukraine

Now, it appears Qatar has secured the return of four of them. Host Carolyn Beeler speaks with Vladyslav Havrylov, a research fellow for Georgetown University working with the Collaborative on Children’s Issues, about the scale of the problem.
