Explaining Ukraine. 2 months of war: key conclusions

Two months have passed since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

We’re drawing some key conclusions:

  • failure of the Russia’s initial plans;
  • Ukraine’s remarkable resistance;
  • Russian army’s immense cruelty;
  • changes of Russian discourse about the war;
  • some forecasts about the future.

We also analyze new trends in the Russian propaganda, and give you testimonies of the war witnesses.


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

Hosts: Volodymyr Yermolenko, analytics director at Internews Ukraine, and Tetyana Ogarkova, in charge of international outreach at the Ukraine Crisis Media Centre.
