Richard Sakwa on understanding Russia
Richard Sakwa is Professor Of Russian And European Politics at the University of Kent. Here he shares some valuable insights into the current situation in the Ukraine.
If there was actual, honest journalism on corporate media, we would be seeing interviews such as this one, sadly we are not. In this interview from Jerm Warfare, Sakwa discusses:
- the history of Russia and Ukraine;
- the complexities of Ukraine’s national identity;
- why Putin is not interested in Ukraine;
- why Biden and NATO are at fault;
- Ukrainian government’s deliberate aggression towards its own people;
- why Putin’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine is understandable but a strategic blunder;
- the current conflict’s impact on the West.
