Episode 212: Three years since the invasion: Ukrainian perseverance and global shifts

This special episode marks the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The three co-hosts are joined by a group of Talk Eastern Europe patrons and Iryna Krasnoshtan, an analyst and foreign policy expert from the International Center for Ukrainian Victory. Together, they reflect on how three years of war have reshaped life in Ukraine, discussing the tensions between the US and Ukraine, the support from European allies, and the impact of the USAID funding freeze on Ukrainian civil society and humanitarian groups. Iryna also shares ways listeners can continue supporting Ukraine and highlights what the country needs most from its European allies at this critical time.If you want to keep supporting Ukraine, here are some ways you can help: https://neweasterneurope.eu/2025/02/24/ukraine-under-attack-how-to-help/ In our bonus content for patrons, the discussion continues as those who joined the call ask their own questions about Ukraine’s future.
