The New 'Russian World' has no Borders and Brings no Peace to Europe - Interview with Andreas Umland

Russia’s war of aggression started in 2014 against Ukraine and has  escalated significantly this year. But the attempts to control, coerce  and dominate Ukraine have far deeper roots. In this video Andreas Umland  and I examine the deep causes of the war, going back into Russia’s  imperialist past with one of the world’s foremost experts on Russian  international relations and politics. We will also explore how this  conflict might end, based on Russia’s past military triumphs, defeats,  and revolutions.
