The Briefing Room

Ukraine: the long game


Listen Later

Ukraine's spring offensive has begun. But what can it realistically achieve? What can be done to prevent this becoming a 'forever war'? And in the meantime, how has this regional conflict impacted on global politics. Are we seeing a changed international order, with the rise of China and a new role for Africa and the Global South? David Aaronovitch and guests discuss the long game for Ukraine and its western allies.

Guests:

Michael Clarke, Professor of Defence studies and Specialist Advisor to the Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy

Karin von Hipple, Director General, Royal United Services Institute
Shashank Joshi, Defence Editor at The Economist
Mark Galeotti, Writer on Russian security affairs and director of the consultancy Mayak Intelligence.

Produced by: Bethan Ashmead, Claire Bowes and Kirsteen Knight

Edited by: Richard Vadon
Sound engineer: Graham Puddifoot
Production co-ordinator: Debbie Richford
