Ambassador of Ukraine to Australia, Vasyl Myroshnychenko, offers insights into Putin’s war, Trump’s foreign agenda and Australia’s role in supporting the ongoing struggle for Ukraine’s sovereignty amidst a shifting global order.
Since Russia’s invasion in early 2022, Ukraine has made extraordinary strides in mobilising the support of the international community – from strengthening security and defence capabilities to galvanising political support from international allies for wide-ranging sanctions against Russia.
But after the fiery February encounter in the Oval Office in which US President Donald Trump and his vice-president J.D. Vance openly berated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the lines of the conflict have been dramatically redrawn.
In the aftermath of this unprecedented diplomatic disaster, Ambassador of Ukraine to Australia Vasyl Myroshnychenko joins Sally Warhaft, host of The Fifth Estate, to discuss the current state of play between Ukraine and the Trump administration, recent developments in the conflict and their profound ramifications on global security and why defending Ukraine’s sovereignty is of critical importance for democracies around the world – including Australia.
