Europe Wants War. Russia Now Agrees | Stas Krapivnik

Pascal Lottaz welcomes back friend and colleague Stanislav Krapivnik for a hard look at Russia, Ukraine, and Europe. They discuss claims that Russia has stalled, repeat stories of Russian collapse in Western media, ceasefire talk, NATO escalation, nuclear risk, the loss of trust in peace deals, and the growing debate over whether the war can freeze or spread into a wider European conflict.
