The situation in Ukraine is growing increasingly dire as Ukrainian soldiers struggle to maintain their defense lines against Russian aggression. So, does that mean that the Russian President is edging closer to his goal of seizing large parts of Ukraine? "If Putin believes he can simply wait out the conflict, he has miscalculated."- strong words from German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in support of Ukraine. However, they come at a time when his own party has emphasized the need to “freeze the war”. The question remains, of course, whose interests would this really serve - Ukraine's or perhaps Putin's?

Our guests:
Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, former Commanding General, United States Army Europe and now Chairman of GLOBSEC Future Security and Defence Council (FSDC).

Malte Lehming, Der Tagesspiegel.

Yuliya Bidenko, associate professor at Karazin Kharkiv National University, Ukraine and visiting researcher at the Center for East European and International Studies (ZOIS) in Berlin.
