BONUS: ‘Russia fears one thing above all’, with Christopher Miller, Dr Jack Watling & Orysia Lutsevych OBE

Today, in a special bonus episode, we bring you a panel Francis Dearnley recently moderated at the Frontline Club in London – a renowned meeting place for anyone passionate about foreign affairs, hosting regular events with guests from think tanks, journalism, the humanitarian sector, and many more.


The discussion features leading experts on various dimensions of the war: Christopher Miller (Chief Ukraine Correspondent, Financial Times), Dr Jack Watling (Senior Research Fellow for Land Warfare, RUSI), and Orysia Lutsevych OBE (Head of the Ukraine Forum, Chatham House). Though recorded a few weeks ago, the conversation feels not just relevant, but prescient, in light of recent developments.


Topics include: what security guarantees Ukraine wants versus what it actually needs; the manpower challenges facing both Russia and Ukraine; the levers available to pressure Moscow; how a ceasefire can be either a remedy or a poison depending on its terms; the declining US role and Europe’s response; hybrid threats across the Continent...and the terrifying cost of delay.


Speakers:


Christopher Miller (Chief Ukraine Correspondent, The Financial Times)

Dr Jack Watling (Senior Research Fellow for Land Warfare, Royal United Services Institute)

Orysia Lutsevych OBE (Head of the Ukraine Forum at Chatham House)
