‘Russia-Ukraine deal impossible while Putin is alive’: ex-UK ambassador to Moscow

Former UK ambassador Laurie Bristow speaks to Roland and delivers
a blunt and unsettling warning about the state of the world and
Britain’s place in it. Drawing on more than three decades at the
heart of the Foreign Office, including some of the most dangerous
postings of modern times, he argues we are living through the
most volatile and complex global moment of our lifetimes.


From war returning to Europe and the rise of China, to artificial
intelligence, pandemics and the collapse of old assumptions about
power, nothing is stable and nothing is simple. Speaking candidly
about Vladimir Putin, he explains why the west misread Moscow for
years and why there are no easy deals or quick endings ahead.


This is a forensic, unsparing account of a world in turmoil and a
challenge to Britain to wake up before it is too late.
