Crimean War and Peace (with Elina Beketova)

In 2014, Putin’s Russia invaded and annexed Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula that is part of Ukraine. This was the opening move in the full-scale invasion Putin ordered in 2022. Greg Olear talks to Elina Beketova, an in-residence fellow with the Democracy Fellowship program at the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) and a native of Crimea, about the war-torn history of Crimea, the 2014 annexation, the collaborator problem, and the current situation in the occupied territories of Eastern Ukraine. Plus: a new asset recovery service.
