LATO Interview Series #17: Russia - Mongering the war in Ukraine for a desperate year
Show Notes

Nearly a year has passed since Russia began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The war has not only led to important reforms in Western foreign policy but has also taught us a lot about the Russian government and its perspectives.

Listen to the podcast produced by the Latvian Transatlantic Organisation where Dr. Sandis Šrāders, an expert in foreign policy, interviews Konstantin Eggert, the commentator at Deutsche Welle. Along with providing his thoughts on how to deal with the current regime in Moscow, Konstantin also delivers answers to several other crucial issues. Insights into Russian society, its style of government, and prospects for the near future - including what it will take for Ukraine to win the war - are provided in this episode.

The interview is part of a series developed in the context of the annual Rīga Conferences organised by the Latvian Transatlantic Organisation. The purpose of the series is to keep discussions alive in between consecutive conferences.
