One year out: How Putin's invasion of Ukraine has impacted Greece and the West

Yannis Palaiologos and Vassilis Nedos, who joined The Greek Current the day Putin launched his brutal invasion of Ukraine, join Thanos Davelis today to look back over the last year, analyzing what this war has meant for Europe, Greece, and the broader West, and break down the challenges that lie ahead. 

Yannis Palaiologos is a correspondent-at-large for Kathimerini and Inside Story, and Vassilis Nedos is Kathimerini’s diplomatic and defense editor.
