TV7 Europa Stands: Can Ukraine win the war vs Russia? Edging toward a New World Order - April 2023

Fourteen months have passed since Russia launched its premeditated military invasion of Ukraine, resulting in tens of thousands of casualties to date in Europe’s worst refugee crisis since World War Two.
As neither Moscow nor Kyiv have managed to close in on their respective political objectives so far, the majority of Western intelligence agencies believe the devastating conflict will undoubtedly persist into the foreseeable future - feasibly spilling over into other regions of the world.
European nations are meanwhile seemingly struggling with a rapidly shifting reality within the framework of ‘Strategic Power competition’ – as faltering migration policies threaten the continent’s demographic composition altogether.
Panel:
- Jonathan Hessen: Host.
- Gen. Klaus Naumann, Former Chief of General Staff of the Bundeswehr as well as the Chairman of NATO Military Committee.
- Dr. Rafael Bardaji, CEO Worldwide Strategy and former Spanish National Security Advisor.
- Prof. Uri Rosenthal, Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands.
- Mr. Timo Soini, Former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister of Finland.
