Almost one year ago to the day, Russia began its invasion of Ukraine. This war has been described as a turning point not only for Europe, but for world history. As we’ve seen, the war’s impact has spread beyond the borders of Ukraine, with implications for the rest of the world, and Greece is no exception here. Yannis Palaiologos and Vassilis Nedos, who joined The Greek Current the day Putin launched his brutal invasion of Ukraine, join Thanos Davelis today to look back over the last year, analyzing what this war has meant for Europe, Greece, and the broader West, and break down the challenges that lie ahead. 

Yannis Palaiologos is a correspondent-at-large for Kathimerini and Inside Story, and Vassilis Nedos is Kathimerini’s diplomatic and defense editor.
