European Friends of Ukraine: Poland, Germany and who else?

Episode Summary

Are Ukraine's allies tired of the war? Stepan Rusyn from Transatlantic Dialogue Center explains that a faulty internal communication between decision makers and their votes constitutes one of the key issues here. Ukraine also needs to find a new, more relevant and appealing ways of communicating with its allies.

Episode Notes

The moral argument of Ukraine facing an aggressive enemy seems not to be convincing any more, when speaking with Kyiv's  friends in the West. Ukraine has to adapt its messages, but also Western leaders have to improve their communication with their voters, as explains Stepan Rusyn, a coordinator of the German-Ukrainian Partnership Programme at the Transatlantic Dialogue Centre.

The podcast was produced as a part of the 6th German-Polish Round Table on the Eastern Europe.
