Episode description

As the situation on the ground in Ukraine continues to deteriorate rapidly following last night’s invasion by Russia, we’re joined by DCU professor Donnacha Ó Beacháin, an expert in post-Soviet politics, to try to make sense of what’s going on. What is the background to the conflict in eastern Ukraine, under what pretext was the country invaded, and what is the end-goal here for Putin?The Explainer is brought to you by The Journal.
