In today’s exclusive Ukraine War Brief, Yewleea talks about major sabotage, the "Storm of the Century" slams Qırım (Crimea), the US aid for Ukraine, and our investigation into the FSB. Professors Serhii Plokhy, the Mykhailo S. Hrushevs'kyi Professor of Ukrainian History and Director of the Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University, talked about what the West gets wrong, and Rory Finnin, Director of Ukrainian Studies at Cambridge University, talks about how russians view Qırım (Crimea).
Professor Plokhy's new book, The Russo-Ukrainian War: the Return of History, was published in May, 2023. He previously published The New York Times bestseller, The Gates of Europe: A History of Ukraine, in 2015. Professor Finnin's book, The Blood of Others, was published in April 2022.
