"Putin's forces invading Ukraine and Putin's diplomacy" with Diplomat Guido Lenzi and M.B. |EP. 07, S.03| United Citizens of Europe

This week's episode is dedicated to understanding what is going on in Ukraine and Putin's decision to invade the country.
The invasion of Ukraine by Putin's led forces takes Western countries' diplomatic ties with Russia back to 1945 according to diplomat and former ambassador of Italy to Moscow, Guido Lenzi. The diplomat also added that Russia refused to take EU leaders seriously, their only interlocutors are the Americans. However, Putin's Russia must take the EU seriously, especially when it comes down to diplomacy. Other topics with Lenzi were the Bucharest Treaty, Minsk Agreements, "Compatriots abroad", history of EU-Russia relations and the escalation in Ukraine.

Our second guest is M.B., whose identity is not disclosed as she is doing a traineeship in an institution in Kyiv and, as we did not have the greenlight for the interview by the institution, she prefers to stay anonymous. She also added that everything she says is her own view and do not express the views of the institution she is working for.
M.B. talked about Ukrainian media, the press' reaction to the escalation and a comparison with Western media.

The interviews were recorded on 24/02/2022, therefore, any missing information or change of events might be due to the date.

Host of the episode:
Luca De Cristofaro

Guests: Diplomat Guido Lezzi and our informant M.B.
