In 2014, Putin’s Russia invaded and annexed Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula that is part of Ukraine. This was the opening move in the full-scale invasion Putin ordered in 2022. Greg Olear talks to Elina Beketova, an in-residence fellow with the Democracy Fellowship program at the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) and a native of Crimea, about the war-torn history of Crimea, the 2014 annexation, the collaborator problem, and the current situation in the occupied territories of Eastern Ukraine. Plus: a new asset recovery service.About Elina:https://cepa.org/author/elina-beketova/About CEPA:https://cepa.org/about-cepa/Follow Elina:https://twitter.com/elina_beketovahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/elina-beketova-a40b0016/Thanks, HelloFresh!
