Description
The finale of our history of the Ukraine war – for now. As Ukraine’s 2023 counter-offensive begins and Putin responds with mere nihilistic destruction, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Now Arthur Snell takes stock of the war so far. Ukraine’s fight for freedom could preserves the security of Europe’s hinterlands, and Russia’s failures have shown how NOT to fight a war. But history tells us that the fall of great powers puts global peace in grave peril. How can we prevent chaos in Russia spilling out across Europe and perhaps beyond?
Arthur speaks to:
• Serhii Plokhy, Prof of Ukrainian History at Harvard and the Author of ‘The Russo-Ukrainian War’
• Luke Harding, journalist and author of Orwell-prize shortlisted ‘Invasion’
• Iuliia Osmalenko, former Ukrainian diplomat and Head of Globsec Kyiv Office
• Dr Mike Martin, military analyst and author of ‘How to Fight A War’
• Oleskii Plotnikov, serving Ukrainian soldier and human rights lawyer
