5.0
The Russo-Ukranian War has been raging since February 2022. As this war continues, Financial Times War Correspondent Christopher Miller has become an expert on the history and what may happen next. For those who want to know more about the leadup and implications of this war.
Christopher joined the Peace Corps and was assigned to Donetsk, Ukraine. Past the beautiful parts of the country, he goes to a broken-down factory town. It's a sort of rust belt of Eastern Ukraine. However, it proves to be an extremely valuable placement when he returns as a reporter for Kyiv Post. When the Russian puppet president is ousted, Russia takes Crimea and Eastern Ukraine.
As tensions mount in 2022, Russia invades again. Miller was there before and during the war to give context to what was happening. We see the start of the Euromaidan Revolution and how Ukraine was caught flat-footed immediately after the ousting of the president. As the war churns on, it ]seems there are no easy answers to the horrors of this war.
