In this edition of Issues of Contemporary Politics with Dr. Brovkin, I focus of the latest developments in the Ukraine war: Zelensky desperation in view of the crushing Russian advance on the one hand and the internal challenge from general Zaluzhny on the other. EU/UK efforts to arm Ukraine brought about a scandal about alleged nuclear components transfer to Ukraine generated threats to use nukes against those countries who dare to do so.

His latest book: From Vladimir Lenin to Vladimir Putin: Russia in Search of Its identity (Routledge, London 2024) is available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Routledge.com.
