First hour: Assessing the stalemate in Ukraine
Second hour: Discussing CITY Magazine's November 2023 issue
A top Ukrainian general recently said that the war with Russia has reached a stalemate, with neither side able to move the territorial lines very much. Russian leaders have vowed to destroy all of Ukraine, while Ukrainian leaders have promised to continue their fight until all territory is regained. But a recent NBC News report indicates that Western officials have broached the idea of negotiations. Our guests discuss whether the current stalemate makes it possible to pull both sides to the table. In studio:
- Randy Stone, Ph.D., director of the Skalny Center for Polish and Central European Studies at the University of Rochester
- Hein Goemans, Ph.D., author of “War and Punishment,” and professor of political science at the University of Rochester
