For the last 6-7 months, the main topic for many political discussions has been Ukraine and various Ukraine-related issues. Today I am speaking with a person, who has been actively commenting both on mass media and social network, especially Twitter, the war in Ukraine, not only military aspects of the conflict, but also geopolitical and socio-economic dimension. On Toptalk, our guest is LTG Ben Hodges, Former Commanding General, US Army Europe from 2014-2017. He is now Senior Advisor at Human Rights First, and until recently was the Pershing Chair in Strategic Studies, at the Centre for European Policy Analysis, specialising in NATO, the Transatlantic relations and international security. #toptalk #topchubashov #benhodges Topics discussed: 01:21 - Will mobilization change the situation in favor of Russia? 04:40 – How serious is Russia`s nuclear threat? 07:30 – Why does Russia fail in Ukraine? 13:38 – Can Russia disintegrate? 16:24 – Last winter for Europe? 17:31 – Centrifugal forces in Russia 18:45 – How does the new world order seem?
