In this episode, Ukraïner International’s Anastasiia Marushevska sits down with Nicolas Tenzer, a French academic, writer, and senior fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis, to discuss how Western democracies perceive Russia’s war against Ukraine. Tenzer reflects on the idea of Russia as a “superpower,” the failure of Western leaders to fully grasp the nature of Russian aggression, and the moral dilemmas that determine political decisions during wartime.
How Come is a series of in-depth interviews with people around the world about the global events shaping our world — from ideologies and wars to human rights and information manipulation.
