Why has Russia invaded Ukraine?

What are the causes of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine? Can we find them in the developments of the past decades or in the deeper future? Why is this invasion a sign of Russian weakness?

Hosts:

  • Volodymyr Yermolenko, Ukrainian philosopher and journalist, chief editor at UkraineWorld.org
  • Tetyana Ogarkova, Ukrainian scholar and journalist who is in charge of international outreach at the Ukraine Crisis Media Centre.

We continue our “Explaining Ukraine” podcast by discussing consequences of Russian invasion of Ukraine.
