Timothy Snyder on the future of Russia, Ukraine’s victory and mobilization

Based on historical experience, wars are usually won by those with a larger economy. In the case of a Russian-Ukrainian war, in the end, it is Ukraine that can win if its economy is supported by such players as the USA, Canada, most of the EU, as well as Asian democracies such as Japan and South Korea, believes the American historian and writer Timothy Snyder. In an exclusive interview with RFE/RL, he shared his thoughts on what politicians usually ignore when deciding whether to support Ukraine, why the risks in the event of Russia’s defeat are overstated, and how Ukraine’s success could be affected by mobilization problems.
