Policy Voices | #Throwback: What were we asking when Russia invaded Ukraine?

Two years ago, Russian troops were stationed outside the Ukrainian border and on the morning of 24 February 2022, Russia began the largest attack on a European country since World War II. Two years ago, the questions we were asking were: is this the beginning of a full-scale invasion? Will sanctions have an impact? How can Putin be stopped now?

Today, we know that 24 February 2022 marked the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops and no, the sanctions did not have the desired effects because two years later, the war is still ongoing.

In this episode of Policy Voices, we want to go back in time and revisit some of the questions we were all asking two years ago. What changed since then? Listen to this episode of Policy Voices where we re-run the first podcast episode Friends of Europe launched right after Russia invaded Ukraine.
