Russia's invasion has led to unprecedented levels of humanitarian support from big business.

Since the start of the Russian invasion, companies have donated more than $1.4 billion in cash to support the humanitarian response, in addition to many other forms of assistance. In this special episode, host Heba Aly explores whether the crisis in Ukraine is a game-changer for private sector engagement in humanitarianism.
