In the 21st episode of the podcast Ukraine Decoded, a senior analyst in the European Values Center for Security Policy (Czech Republic) David Stulik talks with Viktor Kovalenko about what Europeans think regarding the Russian war against Ukraine. For twelve years, Mr. Stulík served in Kyiv as the press and information officer of the EU Delegation (later – the EU Embassy).
We discussed why didn’t Europe help Ukraine in 2014 during the first Russian military invasion that led to the Russian annexation of Crimea and occupation of the part of the eastern Ukrainian region of Donbas.
It was interesting to hear what the he and Europeans think about the idea of peace negotiations promoted by some political influencers in the West and backed by the invader Russia since November 2022.
Mr. Stulik explained why the European financial and economic sanctions imposed on Russia for its military aggression don’t work as expected and what does Ukraine have real chances to join NATO in the future.
Also Mr. Stulik explained how Czechia helps the war refugees.
