On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to the founder and director of the Conflicts Forum, Alastair Crooke. He discusses Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the context of a 30-year unipolar order surrounding the outbreak of war, the growing alliance between Russia and China, Russia’s growing ties with emerging economies that refuse to condemn the invasion of Ukraine, such as India and Pakistan, EU sanctions against Russia, and why the extent of the sanctions means that the European Union has sanctioned itself, and much more.
