An extra podcast: as an impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump begins, Ukraine will continue to be a mainstay of the news. We know the story: a whistleblower in the U.S. intelligence community alleged that president Donald Trump pressured the new Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, to investigate former vice president Joe Biden, using nearly 400 million dollar in military aid as leverage.
In this podcast we will look to Ukraine. What role does it play in this game? And what's going on in Zelensky's head? We dive into these questions with Taras Kuzio, a leading authority on contemporary Ukraine.
