Revisiting the History Behind Russia & Ukraine  
Podcast: The Untold Story with Martha MacCallum
Published On: Wed Aug 14 2024
Description: It's going on three years since Russia invaded Ukraine, creating incessant conflict in the region that's yet to calm down. However, in a surprising turn, Ukrainian troops have invaded Russia – pushing through Russian lines of defense and taking control over more than 25 towns and villages, according to the governor of Russia's Kursk region.    As major developments occur, Martha revisits her conversation with Ukrainian author and Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, Yaroslav Trofimov, to discuss the complex past between Russia and Ukraine that led to Putin’s invasion, how the United States continues to act in response to the war, and what inspired him to write his most recent book, ‘Our Enemies Will Vanish,’ which chronicles Ukrainians’ refusal to surrender their independence.   Follow Martha on X: @MarthaMacCallum Learn more about your ad choices.
