Renowned British historian journalist and political thinker Timothy Garton Ash, who is Professor of European Studies at Oxford University and a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, has visited Ukraine again. Despite his busy schedule of meetings and talks, he was glad to visit Kyiv Post and be interviewed by his former journalistic colleague in London, its Chief Editor, Bohdan Nahaylo. They discussed perceptions of Ukraine then and now, what Russia’s war against Ukraine has meant in historic and geopolitical terms, and what challenges and opportunities it has presented. A fascinating brief discussion not to be missed.
