As tensions rise on the Ukrainian border, are we looking at the
first ground war in Europe since 1945? In an emergency roundtable
edition of Doomsday Watch, Arthur Snell asks a panel of experts
what’s driving Putin’s thinking, how far he and Russia are willing
to go to achieve their aims, and if a disastrous conflict can be
averted. Want to support us, get episodes early and extra content?

question is less, ‘Is Russia going to invade?’ and more ‘When will
Russia invade?’” - Romeo Kokriatski “The only person who knows what
Putin is planning to do is Putin himself. It all depends on his
mood when he wakes up in the morning.” - Artyom Liss “Putin saw the
fall of the Soviet Union as a catastrophe. I wouldn’t fault anyone
for thinking that he may want to rebuild the empire.” - Romeo
Kokriatski “Younger people who are more western-oriented, are quite
embarrassed by Russia’s position on Ukraine.” - Artyom Liss “The
longer this goes on, European partners are likely to become more
aligned with each other .” - John Lough “Russian is only scared of
NATO in that NATO prevents Russia from bullying its neighbours
around.” - Romeo Kokriatski DOOMSDAY WATCH was written and
presented by Arthur Snell, and produced by Robin Leeburn – with
assistant production from Jacob Archbold. Theme tune and original
music by Paul Hartnoll. The group editor is Andrew Harrison.
