Fascinating interview with Dr. Petro. Even though you are more financially experienced, your geopolitical questions to your guests are second to none. It shows a level of knowledge and preparation for your interviews different to some of the other interviewers out there.
For your follow-up interview, concerning Ukraine after the conflict is over, it would be interesting to find out what his assessment of who will be financing the reconstruction of that country.
I suspect that Russia doesn’t have the financial backbone to finance the reconstruction of the country and China would be the logical financial support approved by the victors.
As so clearly explained in the following movie clip from The International (2009).
The true value of any conflict is the dept it helps create. Whey you control the dept, you control everything. I think this financial thinking in London and Wall Street possibly explains why the West has to win at all cost in Ukraine. That could explain why Britain is not throwing the towel on this one yet. The conflict is subsidised by the tax payers to the benefit of the banks and the reconstruction and following political leverage is imperative to the West. Leaving it to China to finance the reconstruction is probably a nightmare for the West. That’s if Russia takes control of the whole country and put in a new Government. If Russia only takes the Donbas and possibly Odessa, who in the West would finance reconstruction in a country who has almost no valuable resources left, as my understanding is that most of Ukraine’s resources are in the Donbas region. Looking forward to your next interview.
I listened as much as I could while working this morning and the biggest takeaway is, despite Russian losses, they are still likely to win the war of attrition because no one wants to send their troops to die for Ukraine, no matter how much the EU council screams over their russo-phobia.
Putin needs to end this by the end of the summer or he will lose too much support from Russian citizens. He even hinted at that recently.
The bigger question becomes, whether western Europe will allow the war to end? How far are they willing to take this without the Americans?
Russia should have won this war years ago. The Russians routed Germany in less time during WWII. Here is a different take.

Yesterday Iana Zaikina won the Gold, so they played the Russian national anthem.

The Ukrainian silver medalist covered her face.
Just last month, at another competition in Bulgaria, Sofia Ilteryakova got in big trouble for simply not facing the Ukrainian flag.
Long story short, earlier today in Varna, the obviously superior Russians, both Sofia Ilteryakova and Maria Barisova didn't make the podium.
It seems Ukrainian-Russian relations change overnight, and host countries have to be flexible.
