Patrick Cockburn on Putin, Ukraine and 'endless war' The i Podcast
-
- Daily News
A year after Russia began it’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, shattering the certainties of international politics, the ripples are still being felt worldwide.
From tough talking in the corridors of power, to shoppers facing spiralling prices for essential goods, to Ukrainians picking through the rubble of devastated towns and cities, this conflict is being felt globally and will define geopolitics for generations.
In this week’s episode of The i Podcast, Molly Blackall is joined by i Special Correspondent Patrick Cockburn to unpack the critical moments from the conflict – and shine a light into the future of the war.
Patrick brings a unique range of experiences to the table. He’s covered conflicts far and wide – from Northern Ireland to Yemen. His knowledge of the Kremlin comes from two stints in Moscow, first during the Perestroika reforms in the mid-80s that helped bring the Soviet Union tumbling down, then during Vladimir Putin’s rise to power in the late 90s. He’s also been a Washington DC correspondent.
Patrick and Molly discuss the conflict so far, before she puts readers’ questions to him. Listen to the episode – wherever you get your podcasts. Let us know if you’d like any of our writers to cover a topic by leaving a comment in the review section of your podcast app.
