In the new episode of the “Explaining Ukraine” podcast, we continue our analysis of the geopolitical and security situation around Ukraine, the Russian military buildup on the Ukrainian border, the threat of a large-scale war, and the results of Russian talks with the US, NATO and OSCE. In this episode, we also focus on the role of the EU and its member states, particularly Germany, in this situation. UkraineWorld’s guest is Wilfried Jilge, a historian of Eastern and Central Europe at the Centre for International Peace Operations in Berlin, associate fellow at DGAP, the German Council on Foreign Relations.
