Today I’m speaking with Anders Åslund, and it’s something of a milestone for the channel. I interviewed Anders over 7 months ago, and he was the first guest on the Podcast. Having now done more than 60 interviews with Western, Ukrainian, and Russian experts, I’m delighted to welcome him back to the channel to explore what has happened since then, and what Putin’s endgame might be. ---------- GUEST: Anders Åslund, academic, diplomat and author.1
