Description

Russian dark money has infiltrated Western politics for years, leading to increased support for the Kremlin and their actions in capitals across the developed world. To discuss the how and why behind Russia's financial meddling, Iain Campbell, financial investigator and journalist, joins Arthur Snell for another War Bulletin.

 “Unravelling the influence of Russian money in Western societies will take many years.”

 “In practical terms, Orban is doing what he can to slow down the flow of weapons from the EU to Ukraine.”

 “Campaigns such as ‘No to AV’ and those for Scottish Independence had links to Russia.”

 “The Russians view European integration as an existential threat, they want a Europe of small nations they can dominate.”
