EU diplomat Søren Liborius. World War II and the Russian invasion of Ukraine - Vol. 2

How does Russian propaganda manipulate World War II, and how is it using the Allied victory over Nazism to justify its current invasion of Ukraine? How does Russia make the "West" into an enemy, and how has this process evolved since 2022? How does Russia use pop culture to promote its narratives and justify its cruel war against Ukraine?

Ukrainian philosopher and journalist, chief editor of UkraineWorld.org Volodymyr Yermolenko, speaks to Søren Liborius, Chief Advisor in the EU External Action Service, with a special focus on Russia and Eastern Europe.
