Conflict in Ukraine: Putin & Zelensky Dig In for Long War Amid Nuclear Risks, Global Food Disruption
by webdev@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#6DG08)
Nearly a year and a half after Russia invaded Ukraine, we speak with defense and international affairs expert Rajan Menon about the state of the war and prospects for peace. The difficulty is that neither side, neither Ukraine nor Russia, feels that it is losing the war," says Menon, director of the Grand Strategy program at Defense Priorities and a senior research scholar at Columbia University's Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies. We are liable to see this war continue for several months, if not more than that." Menon is the author of several books, including Conflict in Ukraine: The Unwinding of the Post-Cold War Order, and recently visited Ukraine.
