Russia's War for Ukraine

March 08, 2022 • Anita Kellogg

In this episode, we cover several different aspects of the Russia-Ukraine war. First up, we at the latest in the military dimensions of the conflict, including the calls for a no-fly zone, and what support NATO member countries are providing Ukraine short of becoming participants in the war. We then discuss the impact of the financial sanctions and the price increases for oil and natural gas. We also cover what Russia’s military struggles mean for Russia’s standing on the world stage and how the conflict impacts Chinese interests. Finally, we wrap up by talking about what we see as the path going forward for the Russian-Ukraine war.
