  • 🎙️ EP#189 | GUEST | Professor Demetrius Flaudis, Russia-Ukraine Conflict Expert: AUTHENTICITY In this engaging episode, we delve deep into the complexities of the Russia-Ukraine conflict with our esteemed guest, Professor Demetrius Flaudis. Professor Flaudis, an adjunct professor at the law faculty of Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University in Kaliningrad, brings his extensive expertise as a practicing international lawyer and regulatory advisor with over a decade of experience in Russia and Ukraine. His unique insights help unravel the historical and geopolitical intricacies that have shaped this ongoing conflict. We begin by exploring the historical context of Ukraine's relationship with Russia, tracing back to the early 20th century. Professor Flaudis outlines the significant periods, including the First World War, the interwar years, and the Second World War, which have influenced the current state of affairs. He explains how Western Ukraine was once part of Austria-Hungary, while Eastern Ukraine was under the Russian Empire, sowing the seeds of division that persist today. The discussion also highlights the brief period of Ukrainian independence during the Russian Civil War and how these historical events contribute to the Russian perception of Ukraine. The conversation shifts to the more recent developments leading up to the 2022 invasion. We discuss the impact of NATO expansion, particularly the 2008 declaration that Ukraine and Georgia would eventually become NATO members. This decision, coupled with the events of 2014, including the annexation of Crimea and the ousting of President Yanukovych, set the stage for the current conflict. Professor Flaudis offers a nuanced perspective on the motivations behind Russia's actions, emphasizing that this war is not merely a land grab but a complex struggle influenced by historical, political, and cultural factors. We also delve into the roles of key figures such as President Zelensky and President Putin. Professor Flaudis provides a balanced view, acknowledging Zelensky's unexpected rise from a comedian to a resilient leader and Putin's substantial support within Russia. This episode sheds light on the often-overlooked perspectives and the broader implications of the conflict, offering listeners a comprehensive understanding of one of the most significant geopolitical crises of our time.
