  • Ukraine, two years on
    Feb 22 2024
    Two years on from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a solution, military or diplomatic, seems as far away as ever.

    On Worldview, leading historians and commentators reflect on a conflict that has altered the state of global geopolitics.

    Shashank Joshi, defence editor of the Economist and Hew Strachan, military historian, illuminate the battlefield picture (24:18).

    The possible outcomes are considered by Sergey Radchenko, expert on Russian foreign policy, and Tim Marshall, best-selling author, whose most recent book is The Future of Geography (1:00:45).

    Engelsberg Ideas is funded by the Axel and Margaret Ax:son Johnson Foundation for Public Benefit. Worldview is produced by Alastair Benn and Marie Jessel. The sound engineer is Gareth Jones.
