. Hello and welcome to another episode of Politics Theory Other.

My name is Alex Doherty and my guest today is Paul Rogers.

We talked about the Ukraine war one year after the beginning of the Russian invasion. We discussed why the Russian

military have been so unsuccessful in their aims, whether the extraordinary scale of Russian casualties

will undermine support for Vladimir Putin within Russia, and the likelihood or not of increasing

Western military support enabling Ukraine to push the likelihood of not of increasing Western military support

enabling Ukraine to push the Russian military out of the country.

We also talked about whether Ukrainian strategic goals aligned totally with those of the US and NATO states,

and if there was any plausibility to the idea of a negotiated settlement.

Finally, we talked about why there was much less clear-cut support for Ukraine in the global south.
