EA-Times Radio VideoCast: 4 Years Later, Ukraine Still Stands
On the 4th anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, I spoke for 35 minutes with Ukraine’s War and Politics 24 about Ukrainians, their resistance, and their nation.
I chat with host Daniel Tkiie about the state of the invasion, including Vladimir Putin’s concern that he may not succeed in conquering Ukraine.
This is Vladimir Putin’s legacy. He invaded in February 2022 and set off global consequences because he wante dto conquer Ukraine.
If he does not get all of the Donetsk region, he has failed.
He doesn’t have Kyiv. He hasn’t toppled the Zelensky Government. And he doesn’t have Donetsk — despite 1.3 million Russian casualties.
I set out the latest on Ukraine-Russia-US talks which are unlikely to halt the Kremlin’s assault.
But my focus is on how Ukrainians have survived the assault on the ground and from the air, accompanied by Russian attempts to split Europe and manipulate the Trump Administration.
