Russia, Ukraine, and the Struggle for Global Stability

Join Owen Matthews, journalist, historian and Russia expert at the Spectator, as he explains why Western policy towards Russia has historically failed, why there may be method in Trump’s bold and unpredictable statements, and what the future ramifications are for Europe, China and the new world order.
