Fighting Putin’s Ukraine lies – Deep Dive with Illia Ponomarenko
Description
Vladimir Putin is trying to erase Ukraine’s past and impose a Kremlin-approved history. Can anything stop him? Veteran war correspondent Illia Ponomarenko explores the long struggle over Ukrainian identity, from the Slavic tribes and the Vikings to Soviet rule and Russia’s full-scale invasion. Illia and Seth Thévoz discuss how Ukrainians are determined to hold on to their history and – how they’re fighting to stop Putin’s ruthless Russification campaign.
